The News told its readers some time ago that an Akron, Ohio, rubber company was using a big five-ton autotruck to haul tires to Boston and bring back the woven fabric used in making tires. The truck was equipped with ten- inch pneumatic tires. This com- pany now has four of the mon sters on the Akron-Boston ex press line, and next trip there will be five. They will have six before long, The round trip can be made in seven days. Five years ago we predicted autotruck service for all points in Fulton county, and it will be but a short time before autotrucks will receive all the lumber and other freight at McConnellsburg and convey it to the railroad ex actly as the defunct McConnells burg and Fort. Loudon railroad was expected to do, Indeed, the time is ripe for McConnellsburg to wake up and erect a big grain elevator and freight station same sb follow railroads.

State College authorities are doing all they can to assist in the preservation of potatoes and oth er vegetawes ror winter use. McConnellsburg people may well get busy along this line, for every one knows that about Christmas, potatoes, apples and other fruits and vegetables almost disappear from our markets. Cold storage . in the form of caves dug under hills is highly recommended by experimenters as the most practical plan for country districts. Apples buried in the usual manner do not keep after the "hole" has been opened, but if deep, dark, and dry caves be .used, and the con tents stored in proper recepta cles, and the entrance made se cure against the escape of the natural, underground cool tem perature, the vegetables may be removed in quantities to suit, and the remaining goods will not spoil. Few cellars are cool enough during warm weather. Address State College, State College, Pa., and ask for free bulletins about storage. They can also be had at The News office.
