A Path Valley resident sums
up the situation as follows: "Po
tatoes are ten cents each, beans
six for five cents, beaf 26 cents
per pound. Grass and salt have
not advanced. Oh, for a sheep's
stomach!"
What will we do for excite
nent this summer? No railroad
loom, the Chateau Heyn propo
r.itios extended indefinitely, too
far from the coast for submarin
es to shell the town, and "We're
all dressed up and no where to
go."

Path Valley man's grass will
get higher.

hill's address at the Presbyterian
church, Warfordsburg, where

Rev. W. M. Cline, of Fort Lit
tleton, bought the cite on which
the hotel stood in that place, re
moved the foundation ploughed
up the ground and planted it in
potatoes. Our candid advice to
the reverend gentleman is that
he try the first mess of those
tubers with great caution forty
years being a long time for the
ground to absorb strange quali
ties. John Bishop, employed at the
baggage department of the C.
V. railroad at Chambersburg,

Card of Thanks.
Eli.Hann and family hereby
heartily thank all friends who so
kindly assisted during the sick
ness and death of the beloved
wife and mother.
To Bridge the Atlantic.
Instead of the 3,000 wooden
ships proposed by the United
States government, steel ships
will be built, the object being to
tire out the German submarine
campaign. 3,000 ships one mile
apart would almost Pontoon
bridge the Atlantic ocean and
when guarded by war veseels
could pour a stream of supplies
into Europe like water flowing in
a river. Henry Ford, by stand
ardizing all parts, can turn out
a finished automobile every few
minutes, and it is on this princi
ple that all steel plants and ship
yards will work in harmony to
finish and launch ships faster
than the Germans can sink them.
And we will do it, too.
Spelling Bee.
An old-fashioned spelling bee
will be held in the Auditorium
Friday evening, May 11th, be
ginning at eight o'clock. The
Civic Club is giving this free of
entrance charges, but a collec
tion will be lifted. A real good
time is in store for all who go.
Everybody knows how spelling
bees are conducted and what fun
there is to be had "spelling
down" the good spellers. The
bee is for old and young and we
know of some who, thirty, forty
and fifty years ago were fond of
taking part and will do so on
this occasion. We hope to see
many from the country on Fri
dny night Remember every
cont oivpn tn the. Cvc fllnh will
be spent for community better-
ment
Please Clean Up.
The Civic Club was requested
the News to call attention of
property owners and tenants to
dirty alleys and back yards in
several parts of town and ask
that they be cleaned. Last sum
mer this country suffered the
worst plague of infantile paraly
sis ever known. The Doctors
agree that filth is the best car
rier of tha disease, and in some
places compulsory cleaning up
was resorted to. We escaped the
scourge last summer, but who
knows what is in store for this
summer? We Bhould need no
urging by the Civic Club, but
common safety should compel
every family to live in as clean
surroundings as it is possible to
have. It will not do for a few
to clean up. One or two sloven
ly premises in a community are
sufficient to attract plague dis
eases and in such instances the
puri ty and cleanliness of all others
amounts to nothing. See that
your neighborhood is clean.
Boni Regi purchared a large
Studebaker car last week,' and
will use it on his mail route be
tween this place and Burnt Cab
ins until July 1st. At that time
his contract expires, and he will
then establish a passenger and
express route between McCon
nellsburg and Everett.

Shoes
Shoes
As you all know, shoes are advancing in price,
but we are glad to say that we are still able
to sell a great many shoes at old prices. As
long as we have them at the old prices we
will sell this way, so we think it will be to your
advantage to buy early.
Wire and Wire Nails.
We bought a carload of wire and wire nails
last October which did not reach us until the
10th of January; and it was lucky that we
did buy early, for the wholesale price has
made several advances since that time. We
are now offering wire fence to you at prices
we would have to pay, if we were buying now.
As long as this lot lasts you will get it at Jan
uary prices.
Com and See Us.

"We Told Yon So."-
' For years, the News has harp
ed on the fact that agriculture
was not receiving its share of
attention from our legislative
bodies. All kinds of inducements
were offered to manufacturers
that in turn, attracted the cream
of our youth from the farms to
the cities. We proclaimed it
from time to time as the most
short-sighted policy that could be
devised, pointing out in our hum
ble manner the danger involved
when an army, or a country, fail
ed to amply protect its sources of
food supply. What have we
now? Nothing short of a panic
on the part of those who find
themselves responsible for the
safety of the nation at a time
when the question of food is
paramount to all other prepara
tions for war. "Back yard gard
ening" does not appeal to Pul
ton county people because all
have good gardens. But the
frantic appeal of city people to
their country cousins to cultivate
all waste places and the belated
help from state and federal ag
ricultural departments is the best
evidence we can expect that we
were right in all our efforts to
more rapidly develop American

agriculture and to call attention
to what could and has happened,
namely, a time when the cost of
food would be uppermost in the
minds and lives of all classes.
We did not need war to develop
the situation, but war hastened
the evil day. If the present
nation-wide movement to in
crease production per acre prove
successful, it will not beabandon
ed when peace comes again. For
this reason this country may
rejoice that war has been forced
upon us because agriculture will
have received its delayed dues
and the final benefits will be be

never received back again one
dollar of our foreign loans, we
would still be the gainers.
