Visits Former Parishioners. Rev. Joseph W. Bedford, of Parsons, W. Va., was a visitor in Everett, says last week's issue of the Everett Press, ami spent the week-end with William Col ledge and family in Rays Cove. Rev. Bedford was born in this county, and went to school at Mt. Airy schoolhouse in Bethel township. At a campmeeting at Crystal Springs in 18G8, he was converted and joined the Metho dist Episcopal church. He was licensed as a local preacher by the Everett M. E. church and was pastor of the Methodist churches at Tatesville and Wood bury, Bedford county. Afterwards he was transferred to the West Virginia Conference, where he held the position of presiding elder for six years and was a member of the General Confer ence in 1900. While on a visit among his old friends in Bethel township sever al years ago, he felt a desire that the community should have a Methoist church, and Mr. Bed ford took the initiative with the result that a church was built and called Bedford Chapel, a name it still bears. Rev. Bedford retir ed from active work in 1907, after having served 35 years in the ministry, and is now the owner and editor of the "Moun tain State Patriot," the prohibi tion paper of Parsons, W. Va. The New Coats and Suits At Solleubergers. We want to tell the Ladies of McConnellsburg and vicinity just a little about our stock of Ladies Coats and Suits.

The recent fair at Carlisle was marked by the greatest activity of the several granges of Cum berland county that has ever been known in that part of the State. Some time ago, the News called attention of its readers to the matter in which the town ships of that county were organ ized by the farmers and their friends, and this year the Cum berland County Agricultural As sociation offered substantial prizes for the best grange ex hibits, with the result that they were made practically the chief feature of thr in-door exhibits, at the fair. It was the privilege of a News reporter to meet many of the farmers 'of that county during the past few weeks, and he never saw a more enthusiastic set of men and women. When our re porter asked what benefits were to be derived from the meetings and practices of the members he was told so many things that is impossible to repeat them nere. 1 he grangers meet weekly discuss their work. Each grange has a buyer and once a week the members may pool their orders and the man in charge buj s the supplies at whole sale or from a big dealer. (They do not attempt to keep store. ) Many bad pieces of road have been repaired after years of use- ess complaints by individuals. When the farmers meet as a bodv and mske demands of offici als, "something happens." The exchange of seeds, breeding stock and a hundred other valuable results follow1" in the wake of such cooperation. It's great why can't Fulton county do the same? Coodbje Party." On Tuesday evening of last week about sixty young people assembled at the Scott Fruit Farm, near Hancock, by invita tion of Mrs. William Scott and her niece Mrs. Stanley runic in honor of the latter's brother-in aw, Mr. Alonzo Funic who was about to 4eave for training at Camp Lee, Va. The evening was spent very delightfully, and Mr. Funk received many useful gifts that will come in handy in camp. Among the guests was John B. Everts, who went to CamnLee with Mr. Funk and the other members of the incre ment that composed the call for last Thursday. It was with feel ings of regret, that after having spent the evening so pleasantly, it should become necessary to sav "goodbye" to the "boys;" but as they left for the army, they carried with them the assur ance that they had the best wish es of those they left behind. Red Cross Meeting. The annual Meeting of the Fulton County Chapter of the Red Cross for the purpose of Elections, Amendments of Chapt er by-laws, and such other busi ness as may properly come be fore the Meeting, will be held in the School Auditorium Saturday October 13th. at 2 P.

SpIeoJi.l Band Concert. One of the fiest musical treats to which a McConnellsburg au dience has listened to for a long time was given in tlv Auditorium ast Monday evening by thirty- two boys from the Tressler Or phans' Home at Loysville, Perry county, Pa. This band is under the leadership of Prof. C. M. Stouffer, formerly director of music at the Carlisle Indian School. It is composed of boys ranging in age from seven to seventeen, hven the younger members played their instru ments without making percepti ble mistakes. The band cheer- ully played for nearly two hours notwithstanding the fact that some of the little fellows were very tired after having traveled all the way from Loysville in autotrucks. At the close of the concert, a collection of $38.70 was tendered the band. The boys were on their way to Johnstown to meet the Synod of the Lutheran Churchwhich meets at that place this week. One of them said to a News reporter "We are traveling and playing in order to bring the school to the attention of the public in a small way." The Editor is pleased to say for the Tressler Orphan School that it is doing a great work, and it deserves the support of all friends of orphans. The Farmer Dosen't Get It. The public thinks of prices to the producers in term of market topping records. Those are the prices that get into the front pa ges of daily papers. Few read ers have the hardihood to dig in to the detail of the market pa ges. "Wheat reaches three fif ty," "three dollars a bushels for potatoes," and "twenty-cent hogs" are the phrases that catch the wandering eye of the con sumer as he munches his bacon and sips his coffee. "Farming is a great business." says he. But how much of the total goes at these prices to the farmer? More than half the wheat crop is usually marketed v in August, September, October andNovemb er. Lastyear the average price received by the producer for his wheat during those months was about $1.25 a bushel-far from $3 50! Half the potato crop leaves the farmer's hands in September, October and November. During those months in 1916 the price to him averaged $1.19 a bushel, and it will probably be much less this year. Hogs go to market in largest numbers in November, Decem ber and January, and during the last period covered by those months the average price for hogs of all grades was about $8 90 a hundred. Only a few farmers speculate by holding their crops for. the high market The records prove it One reason more don't do it is, that they can't There are too many chances of loss and they haven't the cash reserve or the storage facilities. Such crops as hogs must be marketed when finished, for costs pile up rapidly and gains diminish. If farmers could hold their stuff as long as they pleased, the consumer would have reason to worry. A farmer's union could then stick up the price to the lim it of the nation's pocketbook. But it hasn't been done and, as business is now done on the farms, itcan't very well be done.
