THE FULTON COUNTY NKWS, McCONNELLSBURO, PA. FARM LABOR IH WESTERN Extraordinary Inducements Being Offered. Previous articles have dealt with kfc necessity of producing extra quan tities of foods to feed the world dur ing thli stress of high consumption and paucity of production. Instead of tbe condition Improving It is growing worse, and unless drastic and Immedi ate action Is taken, prices will con tinue to climb higher. It is hoped by the Canadian government that by offering extra Inducements to secure a home stead of 100 acres of excellent land In the homosteadlng arena of Western Canada, with the combined effort of the farmer In extraordinary prepnrntlon of tlllnK and bigger wages than ever, Uuit Western Canada, with the assist ance of a Divine Providence, limy pro duce n greuter number of million acres f wheut than ever In llio past. Tho farm laborer can now secure a home stead on easier conditions than ever before. All the time thnt he works for a Western Canadian fnrmcr dur ing 1017, after he makes his entry or filing will count ns residence on his koinoHtend for that year, leaving him but two additional years' residence, before getting title to a piece of land thot should then be enslly worth $1,000. The response to this offer hug been wonderful, and hundreds have al ready taken advantage of It. The climate of Western Canada Is tone that breeds energy, Instils life and buoyancy, and with the soil that the country possesses, no greater asset could be desired. The country Is past the pioneering stage; Its ability to grow II the smaller grains better than any other portion of the continent has been proven so often that It seems a waste of time to speak of It. The high name that has been given the country tn the splendid class of live stork thnt ft raises, has placed It in the high col mn with the best states of the Union. . And then social conditions, something that every housewife asks about, are as nearly perfect as could be wished for. Thousands of miles of telephone line connect the remotest hamlet with the principal dtles of the country and continent, miles of excellent graded roads, as well as the perfect natural roads of the prairie, make driving and banllng easy. Grldlroned as these provinces are with railway lines bring the farm near to Atlantic or Pa cific, or United States markets, rural mall delivery brings the settler still closer to the homes abroad. Rural and consolidated schools everywhere are ensy adjuncts to the colleges and universities, which are said to be among the best on the continent. Taxation is light, and only applied en the farm lnnd, cattle, Implements, etc., on the farm being exempt. - Many farmers, having- realized sufficient from one crop of wheut to pay for their entire farm holdings, have in stalled their own electric light and beating plnnts, hnve their automobiles and many luxuries they would not bavo possessed on their old home abroad. Life Is comfortable and ex istence enjoyable In Western Cnnnda. In no country Is there a greater per centage of contented farmers, nnd In ao part of the continent Is farming easier or more profitable. Land there will produce 30 bushels of wheat to the acre, while there ure many cases where the yield was higher, ta high ns 70 bushels. Whut this menus to the farm laborer does not fully appear on the surface. He will get good wages, he can secure a fcotnestend worth nt the end of three years about $1,000, while working for wages he can put In residence duties, and can also look around, and find a good location. Besides the homestendlng attraction of Western Cnnnda, there remains the other fact that other lands can be purchased nt from $15 to $30, while Improved farms may be had at rea sonable figures. The desire to huve a piece of land of one's own Is a nnturnl Instinct In the heurt of every properly developed man and woman. In earlier years, on account of the great areas of land available In the United States, no great difficulty was experienced by any ambitious settler of that country who wished to become his own landholder, but the rapid In crease In population, combined with the corresponding rise in the price of land, hus completely changed this con dition. Land, which a generation ago might be had for the homestendlng, now communds prices ranging to $100 an acre and over. At such prices It Is quite hopeless for the tenant farmer or t?io farmer's son In moderate cir cumstances, or the city man with lim ited capital, to attempt to buy a farm of his own. To pay for It becomes a life-long task, and the probability Is thnt he will never do more, than meet the Interest charges. If he Is serious In his desire to secure a farm home, be must look to countries where there Is still abundant fertile lnnd available at moderate cost, and where these binds are to be purchased on terms which make It possible for the settler with small cnpltul to become a farm owner as the result of a few years' la bor, lie will also want lnnd In a coun try where the practices of the people are similar to those to which he has been accustomed; a country with the same language, same religion, same general habits of living, with laws, currency, weights nnd measures, etc., based on tbe same principles ns those with which he Is familiar. He wants a country where he can buy lnnd from $10.00 to $30.00 nn acre, which will produce as big or bigger crops as those be has been accustomed to from lands at $100.00 an acre. He wants this land where social conditions will be attractive to himself nnd his family, and where he can look forward with confidence to being In a few years in dependent, and well started on the road to flnnnclnl success. 1 All these conditions he will find In .'Western Canada, and nowhere else. ,.The provinces of Alberta, Saskatche wan and Manitoba, commonly called "Western Canada," provide the one and only answer to the land-hungry. The lnnd Is here; It Is the kind of land he wants; the conditions are at nearly Ideal as Is possible, and the prices and terms nrc such that the man of moderate cupltal lias an op portunity not available to him else where.

A CHILD!SBOWELS It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a ' sick child. Look back at your childhood days. Remember tbe "dose" mother insisted on castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, bow you fought against taking them. With our children It's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt Is well-founded. Their tender little "Insldei" are Injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give oply dell clous "California Syrup of Figs." Its action Is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never falls to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor row.

Washington. Good Friday, ot the year 1917, will be memorable In the history of this country, for at 18 min utes past 1 o'clock. President Wilson signed the Joint resolution by which this country declares war with Ger many., The instant Mr. Wilson's pen left th paper a messenger rushed from his office and gave the signal to the Navy Department The next moment a tele gram over the signature of the Secre tary of tbe Navy was sent to every naval station and fleet commander In every part of the world where there is an American ship, announcing the declaration of war. This means, ot course, that every American ship now has her decks cleared for action for the possibilities of meeting a German submarine or a German raider. The warships of the German Navy are as sembled at Kiel. Defense against the enemy without and within was organized at once. Tho President and bis Cabinet, at their first war meeting, went over war plans of a magnitude such as the . United States, in all Its history, has never known. Washington. The President this af ternoon Issued the following procla mation to the American people, de claring that a state of war exists be tween the United States and the Im perial German Government: "By the President of the United States.

The Congress of the United States, in the exercise of the constitutional authority vested in them, have resolved, by Joint reso lution of the Senate and House of Representatives bearing date this day, 'that the state of war between the United States and the Imperial Gor man government, which has been thrust upon the United States, Is here by formally declared.'

The President is authorized, in any such event, by his proclamation thereof, or other public act, to direct the conduct to be observed, on the part of the United States, toward the aliens who become. so liable; the manner and de gree of the restraint to which they shall be subject, and in what cases, and upon what security their resi dence shall be permitted, and to pro vide for the removal of those who not being permitted to resldo within the United States, refuse or neglect to de part therefrom; and to establish any other regulations which are found nec essary in the premises and for the public safety;' Whereas, by sections 4.0C8, 4,069 and 4,070 ot the Revised Statutes further provision is made relative to alien enemies. Now,, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim to all whom it may concern that a state of war exists between the United States and the Imperial German gov ernment; and I do specially direct all officers, civil or military, of the United States that they exercise vigilance and zeal in the discharge of the duties in cident to such a state of war; and I do, moreover, earnestly appeal to all American citizens that they, in loyal devotion to their country, dedicated from its foundation to the principles of liberty and Justice, uphold the laws of the land and give undivided and willing support to those measures which may be adopted by the consti tutional authorities In prosecuting the war to a successful issue and in ob taining a secure and Just peace; and, acting under and by virtue of the au thority vested in me by the Constitu tion of the United States and said sections of . the Revised Statutes, I do hereby further proclaim and direct that the conduct to be observed on the part of the United States toward all natives, citizens, denizens or sub jects of Germany, being males of the age of 14 years and upward, who shall be within the United States and not actually naturalized, who for the pur pose of this proclamation and under such section of the Revised Statutes are termed alien enemies, shall be as follows: "All alien enemies are enjoined to preserve the peace towards tbe United States and to refrain from crime against the public safety and from violating the laws of the United States and of the states and territories there of, and to refrain from actual hostility AMERICANS IN FRANCE READY.

"Life insurance companies for some years past have paid very close atten tlon to liquor as an Insurance hazard. They have compiled figures, using hundreds of thousands of persons as a busts for computations. These prove that a man who does not drink will on the average live much longer than the man who drinks even moderately. "Taking 2,000,000 policyholders as a test, Insurance companies discovered that men who only occasionally 'got tight' suffered a death rate Just one half greater than strictly temperance men. Among men who drink only two glasses of beer or one glass of whisky in a day the mortality was almost a fifth greater. Other men who drink more than that but still not enough to bar them from insurance companies, showed an appalling mortality of al most double that among men who were never Introduced to John Barleycorn, DRINK AND MACHINERY. Things have changed since the day when a roan could drink and injure no one but himself and a few others, says the Kansas City Star in an edi torlal on "Booze and Machinery." A drunken man might drive a horse through a street crowded with other horses and not damage himself or any one else; but a drunken man in a motor car in a street crowded with other hurrying motor cars becomes a veritable death angel. A drunken man might drive a stage coach filled with passengers and all arrive safely. But a drunken man at the engine throttle, or asleep in the signal tower, is a different thing. A drunken blacksmith In the old days would simply spoil a few horseshoes, and maybe give his wife a black eye. But now a drunken factory hand can ruin thousands of dollars' worth of machinery and en danger lives of fellow workmen. PROHIBITION STANDS TEST. The year 1010 has witnessed a tit umph perhaps even greater than the mere gaining of territory, a thorough nnd satisfactory testing of the prohibi tion policy. During the past 62 weeks the new prohibition states have so con vlnclngly demonstrated the economic, social and moral benefits of the law thnt they ore quite sufficient refutation of the false charges made by the liquor publicity bureaus that prohibition does not prohibit; thut it is a failure; that it leads to economic disaster, and other statements of like tenor. As to the sat isfaction of the residents of these states with the new regime, the mag nlflccnt vote in Oregon, Washington, Colorado, 'Arizona and Arkansas on No vember 7 against the measures initiat ed by the liquor interests to weaken or nullify the new laws, furnishes abundant testimony. INSANITY AND DRY 8TATES. The publicity bureau of tho liquor Interests is trying to make the public believe that prohibition Kansas has more lnsnne In proportion to the pop ulation than have license states. He selects for selection three wet" states which are more than 50 per cent dry, rather thnn three which are mostly wet, ns New York, New Jersey nnd Pennsylvania. But that Is a way the llquorltes have. The hisane rate in Kansas Is 172.2 per 100,000; in New York it Is 842,2 per 100,000; In New Jersey, 238.1 per 100,000; in Pennsylvania, 229.1 per 100,000. When it comes to the percentage of what is known as alcoholic insanity the only fair basis for a test the rate in Kansas is remarkably low. That state has only 17 per cent of alcoholic insane. PROHIBITION 13 PROHIBITING. Three breweries in St Louis have gone out of business within the last few months. The Mutual was closed November 14 by order of the referee in bankruptcy; the Excelsior closed its doors January 1, and about the same time the Forest Park Brewing company filed a petition In bankruptcy. All on account of the encroachments of prohibition! AVERAGE TAX RATE. In 1915 the average tax rate in the dry Illinois cities of Mattoon, Decatur, Champaign, Bloomlngton, Freeport, Elgin, Canton, Gnlesburg, Rockford, nnd Jacksonville was 6.01. The aver age rate In the wet cities of East St Louis, Springfield, Jollet Wnukegan, Mollne, Rock Island, Aurora, Peoria, Danville and Qulncy was 6.84. TRULY PITIFUL!

Olm- tue a swlnunln' suit and a baseball but Mysterious Men By REV. L. W. GOSNELL Superintendent of Men, Moody Bible Inititute, Chicago TEXT The wind bloweth where It lt eth, and thou heareat the sound thereof, but canit not tell whence It Cometh, and whither It goeth: 80 I everyone that Is born of the Spirit John 1:8. The text sets forth the mystery of the new birth. Psychology has given much attention to the new birth of late, and some think it has been taken out of the realm of tho mys terious and brought Into the realm of the nat ural, But while the science Just mentioned has made valuablo ob servations on the psychic states connected with conversion, tbe new birth re- mains1 as my; terious as ever. The Holy Spirit ope rates In the region of the subconscious ness nnd while we hear "the sound thereof" Iq t.lje effects produced, his worn is as mysterious as me wmu, When we meet those who believe thut men hnve unlocked the mystery, we are reminded of the simple soul who snld to an unbelieving scholar, "Sir, Jhou hast nothing to draw with, and the well Is deep' ' Mystery of the Newborn. But while the text sets forth the mystery of the new birth, it suggests, also, the mystery of the newborn. We are told that like the wind blowing where It Hsteth, whose sound Is heard but whose origin and course we can not trace, "so is everyone that Is born of the Spirit." Newborn men are un accountable to men of the world. They belong to another kingdom which worldlings cannot even "see." Their motives, their talk, their behavior, greatly puzzle tho unregenerate, be tween whom and them there is "a great gulf." We are reminded here of a story concerning Sir Isaac Newton. It Is said that when he was studying the luws of light, he had a tub of water placed In front of his house and would sit for hours blowing soap bubbles and making observations on reflection and refraction. Ills simple neighbors, who knew nothing of the great thoughts passing through his brain, could not understand his behavior, but would sigh nnd shake their heads sad ly and say ; "Poor mun I" In the ey.es of a world Ignorant of divine things, "so Is everyone thut Is born of the Spirit'.' Bunyan's Experience. John liunyan hus set forth the strangeness of the newborn In the eyes of men In his picture of Vanity Fulr, When the pilgrims enlwed the fair there was a great hubbub about them and thnt for three reasons. First, "The pilgrims were clothed with such kind of raiment as was diverse from the raiment of any that traded at that fair. The people of the fair, therefore, made a great gazing upon them; some snld they were fools, some they were bed lams, and some they are outlandish men." (I Cor. 2:7, 8.) Secondly, "But us they wondered nt their apparel, so they did likewise at their speech j for few could understand what they said; they naturally spoke tho language of Cu nnnn, but they that kept the fair wero the men of this world; so that, from one end of tho fair to the other, they seemed barbarians each to the other." Thirdly, "But that wiiich did not a little amuse tho merchants was that these pilgrims set very light by all their wares." Since newborn men are unaccount able to the men of Vanity Fair, It fol lows that during this present evil age "the offense of the cross" will not cense. Our friends will marvel at out talk of heavenly things. They cannot understand our enthusiasm over fields of service which seem dreary to them ; why a young man should give up s career or a young woman give up so cial prospects to become a missionary Is to them an Insoluble mystery. "So Is everyone that Is born of the Spirit." But to none are the newborn so mys terious as to those who themselves ore seeking to enter the kingdom of God. John Bunyan tells how he heard "four poor women sitting nt a door In the sun" talking of the new birth they hud experienced, and declures "they were to me as If they had found a new world." The Struggle. A little Inter he writes : "The state nnd happiness of these poor people at Bedford was thus, in a kind of vision, presented to me. I saw us If they were on the sunny side of some high moun tain, while I was shivering In the cold, aflllcted with frost, snow and dark clouds. Methought also betwixt me and them I saw a wall that did :ompass about this mountain, and through this wall my soul did greatly desire to pass. About this wall I .bought myself to go again and again, still playing as I went, to see If I could find some passage, but none could I find for some time. At the lust I saw as It were a narrow gap, through which I attempted to pass, but the passage being very straight I made many offers, but all in vain. At last, with great striving, I at first did get in my head, and after that, by a side long striving, my shoulders and my whole body. Then was I exceeding glad, and went and sat down In the midst of them, and so wns comforted with the light and heat of their sun." Reader, do you wish to become one of God's mysterious men?
