Among other reasons why this issue of the News should be carefully filed, is the fact that the second page contains a very carefully prepared summary of the leading events occurring in the third year of the Great War. Do not fail to examine it care fully. Look at it now. Mrs. Harry A, Thompson and Miss Mabel Jackson, of Tyrcne. Mrs. Louise Jackson and son Robert, of McConnellsburg, and Mr. and Mrs. John Ellenberzer. of Pittsburgh, composed a party that took dinner together at the Fulton House last Tuesday. Also Miss boisson, of Tyrone, was one of the party. With hirst American Division. Among the "First To Fight" Marines who have gone to France is Peter C. Forner, a Private of the 51st Company, according 'to advices just made public. Private Forner, who is the son of the late David Forner, of Mc Connellsburg, enlisted in the United States Marine Corp3at its Hagerstown, Md., recruiting station August 24, 1916. Peter has displayed such mark ed military ability and daring that he was among the first to be chosen to "do his bit" over seas. The Marines who have been selected to represent their country first in the war for de mocracy are proud of the re cognition bestowed upon them and they go with the best wishes of the entire nation. Our readers may well be proud of the local boy and wish him the best of success as a U. S. Marine one who is willing to die, a if necessary, to uphold the honor of his home and country.

Thursday of last week, while the teachers in attendance at State College Summer School were assembled ia groups by counties in which they teach, the teachers of Blair county elected Miss Barbara Martin to be their booster for that county. At the annual institute the booster is supposed to appear before the institute and in a few words give the State College Summer School a boost The value of the school is inestimable to teachers and every teacher should take advant age. Crystal Springs Camp. A note from Rev. H. C. Moyer of Breezewood, enclosed a pro gram of the Crystal Springs Camp Meeting, informs us that the Camp will open this year on August 14th and close on August 24th. The program is good, and the usual high standard of the camp in all its features will be maintained. Thirty Men Passing Before Board Each Day. Very Little Information for Waiting Public. The Court House is the center of local interest this week. As was announced last week, the Examining Board is handling thirty men each day, and the Board finds that thirty men are quite enough for a day's work. Ihe men appear before the Board in the order in which they were drawn. Careful note is made made of every phase of the ex amination, and when it is over the man examined is dismissed without being told whether he is accepted or rejected. The Board expects to be able to notify them early next week. . It would be the merest guess work for the News to attempt to tell what per cent will be exempt ed, or who will have to go. The Board, itself, will not know that for a few days. Practically throo-fourth of the men appearing are married men, and nearly every m?m both married and single will file pa pers .for exemption upon one plea or another. The fact that the men did not enlist is evidence that they did not wish to go to the front There is a lot of red tape about the business, and it takes lots of time to get through with the de tails of the work; but the read ers of the News may rest assur ed that we will give them the news as fast as there is anything to give. George Took First Prize. While Mrs. Marshall McKibbin was on her way from McCon nellsburg to her home in Wash ington a short time ago, she stop ped to shop in Leiter Bros, store in HagerStown. While there, some of the employees measured and weighed her little son Geo. McCauley and entered his name in a contest. While visiting her aunt, Miss Mollie Seylar, during the past week, Mrs. McKibbin received notice that her baby George had been awarded first prize as the most perfect baby physically. The mother was Miss Kit Cook, of McConnells burg, before marriage. It didn't "just happen" that this perfect baby should be the son of an ardent suffragette, and his enthusiastic lady friends are claiming complete refutation of the slur that motherhood and suffrage are antagonistic. Come to think about it, we more than half believe they have a good ar gument in this baby. Our mod est and only request is that our little friend may not be placed on the White House picket line when he returns to Washington. 'The Hunting Season. Some changes were made in the hunting season dates by the last legislature. Deer may be legally killed from December 1st to December 15th. Squirrels, quail, pheasants and woodcock from October 20th to November 30th. Pine squirrels are now protected by law, but their sea son is same as for greys. Wild turkeys may be killed from No vember 15th to November 30 only fifteen days open season and but one may be killed in a sea son. There are many features of the law too long to print here. Regulations regarding shipping, buying and selling, and hunting for hire are very strict and it would be well for every hunter to read carefully the copies that accompany the license tag.

Good cars Careful drivers. Geo K Nelson,. Proprietor. Car View of It. It is truv. that the appeal to the farmer U speed up, carried with it a promNe of reward in the shape of protection from sharks or losses by reason of over production. But when the final accounting is made of all who unselfishly contributed to victory, it will be found that it was the farmer who did more in proportion to his wealth than any other single class of workers The great army of wage-earners who have no capital at stake except their health and. bodies, in many instances, gave of their money to the Red Cross and to other institutions of a humane character, but they are, as a rule, receiving liberal pay for their toil. The men whose incomes depend upon the output of their factories have not felt a pinch, nor do the Btrictly independent owners of stocks and bonds receive any less for their clipped coupons. But Mr. Farmer is doing his share against great odds in most cases by taking hours from his deserved rest periods in or der to cover more acres while his natural help is being attracted to centres of manufacture of firearms and other supplies that are in great demand for war. Postal Requirements Recent orders of the'Post Office Department require patrbns liv ing on Star Routes to provide ap proved mail boxes same as are required by patrons on Rural Routes; also that these boxes on all routes be erected as far as possible on right hand side of the road, and boxes placed in position bo the carrier can put the mail in without leaving his conveyance. The placing of box es on right hand side of the road is necessary on account of auto travel. All patrons should have name of owner printed on box but not the box number. The order of the department requires that when letters are put in the box without stamps affixed, the proper amount of postage must be wrapped or placed in the coin receptacle. If the coin is thnwn loose in the letter box, carrie'rs have the right to leave the letter in the box. Patrons should as far as possible provide Btamps and have all letters stamped so as not to delay the carriers in their duty. Co-operation in this particular is urged. DR.

The Every community has its workers and shirkers hopers and mopers. The workers toil on cheerily, daily contributing to the prosperity of the place and full of hope and plans for its future. The shirkers hang back, contrib ute nothing to its welfare, crit icise those who do and talk des pondingly of things in general. Strange as it may seem it is easier to be a worker than a shirker and certainly it is a good deal better all around. Then al so, there is the satisfaction of knowing that one's life amounts to something. Therefore don't shirk, work; don't mope, hope. Wanted, For Sale, For Rent, Lost, Found, Etc.
