Preparedness is a topic of national importance, no matter which side of the question you may take Is the nation properly
prepared? It is a grave question. v
But that is a question for the nation to answer. There is one question nearer home, the matter of financial preparedness 4
of the individual against the rainy day of adversity that may come. Are you financially prepared to meet that sickness which
may come to you or vour family? Are you prepared for the time when there may be loss of employment or loss by fire, flood,
or mismanagement? Are you prepared for the old age that's sure to come? These are serious, vital questions to every one of us.
If you are not prepared, resolve to open a savings account at our bank today and thus make the first step toward your own pre
paredness. .

'OLDEST AND STRONGEST"
Letter to the Public,
Dear Editor:
I was much surprised when
I read the Ford announcement in
your last week's issue, wherein
it stated that E. R. McClain was
Proprietor of McClain's Garage,
McConnellsburg, Pa.
I wish to state that I paid rent
up until April 1st, and would
therefore, like Mr. McClain to ex
plain how he comes to be Propri
etor. I do not want the people
to get the impression that I have
been a tool in the hands of him,
. who annouces to be the Proprie
tor, and wish to Btate that I wit
run the garage I now occupy un
til April 1, 1917, after which 1
will be located in the Central
Garage, just in the rear of the
City Hotel, and wish to announce
to all patrons and others, that
they will receive the same fair
treatment, as I have endeavored
to give in the past and will be in
position to take care of all who
come, with free air, and free
service on small troubles.
I have the Studebaker Agency
one six cylinder touring car in
stock. Come in and see my stock
of tires and accessories and let
me quote you prices before you
buy. Kepainng a speciality.

Dramatic Club Organize!
One of the most public spirited
local associations ever launched
in our town was the organization
recently of The McConnellsburg
Dramatic Club, with the Cast of
The Old New Hampshire Home
given last week at the Auditori
um as charter members.
The money received from the
sale of seats last week was given
to the Civic Club.
It is the purpose of the Dra
matic Club to continue giving en-
ceriamments ana dramatic ner-
formances for Public and Charit
able benefits, as well as to foster
a love of dramatic art, and help
along any public spirited enter
prise that will accrue to the bet

' " ACAVE;
The Value of Leaf.
The traditional observance of
Lent is an interesting contrast
with the spirit of the modern
world, with its emphasis on phys
ical pleasure, the value of money
and the search for diverting
amusements. The modern world
questions such a custom and pokes
fun at it, as merely a relic of
formalism. Yet it may have a
value not suspected in our hurry
inglife.
The church feels the spirit of
the age enough that the old rig'
ors of its observance have dis
appeared, ur course there are
still a large number of persons

It is the intention of theorcran-

Chesnot Writes Verse.
From Everett Pre.
Clem Chesnut, Democratic leg
islator from Fulton county, says
he believes in keeping in touch
with the home folks. In order to
keep in touch with the situation
in Harrisburg, be admits that he
has composed a little verse which
has been sent traveling around
his home country and reads some
thing like this:
'Beldleman run tijaGaat?, . .
Raldwln run the house.
Penfoo runs the two of them
-ib m v v t uub m uiuusri
Brumbaugh runs the Sunday School,
Mulviblll rum the bar,.
Grundy runa the whole outfit,
eo, darn it, there you are," -
much
of the old fashioned manner.
They deny the flesh the things
flesh crave3. Thereby they feel
that the galling grip of material
thoughts upon Iheir spirits is re
laxed. Earth seems more distant
and heaven nearer.
The burdens and the fascina
tions of the world fill their minds
and can't be evaded. Life is a
struggle in which they need all
of the physical strength they
possess. The churches make
liberal modifications of the old
rule of Lentto "working people."
Most people in this unspiritual
age give their bodies the bene
fit"bf doubt, and live a good deal
as usual.
Yet there are thousands and
thousands of society people to
whom a Lenten season of self
denial would be a godsend. It
would rest their strained nerves
give their overloaded stomachs a
rest from hearty late eating give
them needed sleep. Maby of
them instinctively feel this and
welcome a period of quiet and
abstention. But the majority
still continue wearing out body
and soul in the frenzied effort to
kill time and fill life even fuller
of thrills and 'novelty.

National Songs.
National Sons: Week has just
been observed in the schools of i
Illinois. It would be interesting:
to know just what Bongs the
children sang and whether they
really put some heart into them.
There is a lack of a good sing
able national song characteristic
of the American temperament.
"The Star Spangled Banner" is
difficult as. its notes run both
high and low with witie intervals.
People would sing it more cheer
fully if it had better rhythm.
"America" is merely borrowed
from John Bull. One very good
air is commonly called '.'Keller's
a melody having some animat
ana impetuous quality.
National Song Week will be j
served with some enthusia
and it will promote patriotic Q
ing.
"Soaked" Pens anil Beaos.
Reports received by officials
charge of the enforcement ofs
Food and Drugs Act reveal tj
owing to the great demand
1
ned peas and beans, many c
nera are putting on the marif
products made by soaking: di:
peas and beans and then cant::
them. The process of soat
imanion Uumn" k. j : gives me peas and beans ir;
well known. It is vifformia and the same appearance as the fnf
expressive but too much the , artic,e- Product3 wade in
choral style for our restless and ' wy m?y be wholesome, but,
enthusiastic temperament.
The song best fitting our nati
onal temperament from the mu
pointed out, tney are gener;
less desirable than those pre,
ed from fresh peas and be;.
i
sical viewpoint, 'is "Dixie" which ! Furthermore, if the consu
will stir enthusiasm even in a
Northern audience.
A song will need something of
that tingling contagious enthusi
asm before an American crowd
will sing it with any "pep."
Rag time is realy the expression
of American feeling. The mu
sicians see that there is value in
even this despised type of musi
cal notation It is up to some
song writer with a genius for ex
pressing the temperament of a
people, to produce a patriotic
song having a touch of rag time
tingle about it, yet dignified with
strong, virile harmony and with
desires .the dried Droduct it
much cheaper to buy the ih
peas and beans directly from a
grocer and soak them at he
in tnis way the same article
served at a much less cost
The food and Drugs Act do
not prohibit the sale in intcrsta
or foreign commerce of cumi
soaked peas and bean?, prnvii:
the label on the cans indica!
plainly and conspicuously th!
the contents are made from ttf
soaked, dried product. Consu:
ers can learn by carefully rea:
