FULTON COUNTY BANK.
"OLDEST AND STRONGEST
Some Liberty Loan Items.
New York banks are said by
the New York Time3 to now hold
very small blocks of Liberty
Bonds. This is accounted for by
the fact that most of these banks
received only a relatively small
amount of the bonds they sub
scribed for, and that they have
made sales to their customers of
those they did receive under the
allotment The fact that the
banks are not loaded down with
bonds is regarded by the Times
as denoting a very healthy con
dition for the Liberty Loan bond
market as it shows that there is
a popular demand for the bonds.
The New York Sun says that
the astounding leap in the num
ber of bond investors from the
comparatively small numbers of
bond holders previous to the
Liberty Loan Bond Bale to over
four million subscribers to the
Liberty Loan Bonds has opened
the eyes of the banking world to
the enormous possibilities which
will undoubtedly be at their dis
posal for placing the second
government loan. The people,
it states, have been impressed
with the advantage of saving and
lending money to the govern
ment

8. ENNES, Oen'l Paaaenger Ag't
General Manager,
Oar Growing Army. .
Statistics as to the size of our
present military establishment
assign over 300,000 men to the
National Guard actually in ser
vice says the Philadelphia In
quirer. . It was presumed that
there were 100,000 less, but now
comes the statement that this
number also is to be added to
those already in the ranks.
Drafted men will be used to
make up 409,000.
The Regular Army now consists
of 295,000 men, the Marines of
almost 30,000 and the Navy is
rapidly approaching 150,000,
which is expected to be the maxi
mum.. Counting various auxili
ary services there are now in the
various branches a total of more
than 800,000 men, to which
687,000 are to be added by con
scription, making a total of
almost a million and a half.
This is a larger number of sol
diers than this country has ever
contained. In the last few
months of- the Civil War there
were just over one million men
in the Federal army, of whom
many were not present with the
colors, while the Confederates
had perhaps 300,000 nominally in
the ranks.
Announcement is made that a
second call of 500,000 is soon to
be made and that with other ad
ditions we shall have approxi
mately 2,000,000 fighting men
early next year. At any other
time in history this would have
seemed a notable achievement
but Great Britain did better With
half the population to draw upon.
It is evident that she has been
conserving her strength and
that with what did come from
this country, is preparing to
strike a blow at the last moment
which will be crushing to tbe
enemy.
We are taking the war very
quietly in this country, but when
our share of ffghting begins it is
likely that we shall be more en
thused.

HWt, JUeut-tor,
Hold tbe Potatoes.
At this time when twenty-two
countries of the world are virtu
ally at war with Germany in or
der that Prussian atrocity may
be checked and civilization spar
ed, many things must be consid
ered that cannot be done in a
moment. First, the world -must
be fed, and to do that, there
must be food. Potatoes were
asked for in abundance, and
growers produced them. Now,
just because storage and trans
portation cannot take immediate
care of the crop, do not play in
to the hands of the food "hogs"
by unloading at any price offer
ed. Try to help the government
a little by doing what you can to
keep the potatoes in good con
dition until later.
Greatest Beat
Beginning on Monday of last
week, the thermometer register
ed 100 degrees or more for four
days in succesion. On Tuesday
and Wednesday, the highest reg
istry was 102 degrees in the
shade. We know of no McCon
Connellsburg record of four
days of similar heat Fortu
nately, the humidity was not
excessive and consequently, there
were no serious prostrations.
