Jubilee Campaign.
With, a view to raising a fund
of $450,000,00 in the Central
Pennsylvania Conference of the
M. eT Church, a campaign was
inaugurated last Sunday, by . an
exchange of pastors in the sev
eral pulpits of that church, local
announcement of which was
made in the News last week.
The nubit of the local church
was filled by Dr. W. G. Babcock,
of St. Paul, Minn., much, to the
delight and edification of those
present.
Do It Now!
If you knew that by lending your
friend fifty or a hundred dollars
or more it would save him from
a great loss of property, and that
he would be absolutely sure to
pay it back, you would scarcely
think of the interest your money
would be earning for you. Now,
your Uncle Samuel is in a tight
place; he's mighty good, but
he just dosen't have the ready
money. He asks you for a loan.
Will vou turn him down? Ask
your banker, or postmaster how
to do it. Four per cent, ought to
look good. BUY A LIBERTY
BOND! and do it NOW1
WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat Us
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
fromsJcoholoranyhrmiuldrugs. Try it.

Suppose you had in your hand
to-day all the pennies, nickels.
d'mes and dollars that you have
spent during the past year for
that which you could just as
well have done without, what
would you do with it?
Your home and the home of
every other citizen in the United
States is threatened by a power
ful enemy. Already thousands
of our sons, brothers, and hus
bands are marching to battle.
But, while they are fighting, they
must be fed. They must be
provided with warm clothing, and
munitions with which to fight.
Then, they must have wages.
All thia takes fabulous sums of
money. The money must come
from the people.
Now, you are not asked to con
tribute this money as a gift. The
Government wants to borrow it
from you and the Government
will give you its note (Bond) and
pay you four, per cent, paying
you the interest every six
months.
To get into this game you do
not have to wait until you have
accumulated a great lot of money.
You may have but fifty dollars.
Take it to the Bank and tell the
cashier you want to help win the
war; that you want to buy a
Liberty Bond; that you have fifty
dollars that you want to invest
at 4 per cent interest. He will
understand. And when you re
turn to your home you will have
the feeling that you are of some
account to the Government, and
that you are a BONDHOLDER.
Tail Gates Kust Go.
The commissioners of Franklin
county have decided to waste no
more time in dickering over the
purchase of the turnpike extend
ing across the county east and
West through Mercersbnrg,
Greeilcastle and Waynesboro.
Their offer to purchase the road
for $1000 a mile was not accept
ed by t h e turnpike company.
Now they proposes to join with
the State highway department in
condemnation proceedings, under
the amendment of 1913, and it is
generally agreed that the com
pany has missed a good oppor
tuity, because no jury is expect
ed to award it a sum auywhere
like the one which the county
agreed to pay. When the con
demnation proceedings are start
ed the toll gates will be im
mediatily removed and then
Franklin county will have but
three miles of toll road, on the
Leitersburg pike from Waynes
boro to the Maryland line, and
Fulton county wilt not have any.
Motor Licenses.
The State of Pennsylvania,
during the first nine months of
this year, has received in license
fees the stupendous sum of $3,
204,606. Automobiles are fctill
being registered, and will be un
til the close of the year. This
sum is almost a million dollars
more than was received last year
and double that received seven
years ago. The summary of reg
istrations shows that the State
has registered one vehicle (au
tomobile, motor truck, or motor
cycle) for every 27 inhabitants
in the State, and seven, for each
mile of public road. This means
that the automobile owners are
contributing about $35 a mile
toward the upkeep and improve
ment of every foot of public road
In the State.

What Ford Thinks.
Henry Ford's subscription was
accompanied by a statement de
claring that the United States in
making war on Germany did the
"best thing that ever happened
for the world."
"Although there is not a man
in the world more opposed to war
than myself, I feel that we must
support our government to the
limit in this war, because our
president is pledged to -abolish
future wars as possible," said
Ford in his statement,
Sugar Now Short.
The country i9 now pinched
for sugar and the shortage is

will be no relief before Decem
