GOGH CLEAN ENTERTAINMENT.
Hiastrel Show Given bj Hcrcersbarg
Eagle Cornet Band For the Benefit of
the McConnellsbarg Dramatic
Qob, in Anditorinm Next Hon
daj Ereniog.
The McConnellsburg Dramatic
Club has secured the Mercers
burg Band and Minstrel Show to
give a performance, at the audi
inrinm In McConnellsbure on
Monday evening, March 18th,
the proceeds to be devoted to
the navment on the debt lor dec
orating the auditorium, which
has been done by the Dramatic
Club. The character of the en
tertainment is above reproach
and has been commended by the
Dress and pulpit unanimously.
In these strenuous times of war
and a world gone mad, the peo
pie should keep the home fires
burning and give aid and en
couragement to the organization
that has done so much to beauti
fy the Play House of the whole
community, and that has given
o freely of its time and energy
that the people m'ght have a
community centre where they
can assemble for entertainment
and instruction.
The tax payers have been sav
ed the amount of money incur
. red by the Dramatic Club as per
the statement and the people
should crowd the house in support
of this entertainment the pro
ceeds of which are for so good
and unselfish a cause.
Let everybody attend. Re
served seats on sale at Seylar'
drug store Saturday 1 o'clock, at
50 cents and 35 cents.
Remember the date Monday
night March 18th.
Just in this connection it may
be said that it is a matter of
pride to the citizens of McCon
nellsburg, that they have a room
into which strangers may be in
vited to attend the County Insti
tutes, and other public entertain
ments for the public good, and
this rem is the Auditorium of
the Public School Building.
With a debt existing on the build
ing, the School Board did not feel
justified in increasing the tax to
furnish and beautify the audi
torium! Local pride prompted
the younger people to take it up
on themselves to have the work
done and to assume the payment
of the same. An organization,
the McConnellsburg Dramatic
Club, was formed, the work was
done, and we now have one of the
finest rooms iri this section of the
State. The club is trying to cancel
the debt by giving our local public,
good, clean entertainments, and
our people will be only too glad to
help the Club out, and at the
same time get value received for
their contributions.
The following statment, shows
juBt what the Club has done, and
what its indebtedness is:

Potatoes.
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture urges that the normal
acreage of Irish and sweet po
tatoes for 1918 should be main
tained. notwithstanding the
large crops in 1917.
This is especially true in view
of the necessity of releasing more
wheat for export. Potatoes, both
Irish and sweet, are the most pop
ular and most generally used of
the perishable staple crops. The
department, through its exten
sion and publication activities, is
encouraging their greater use,
especially the use of the Irish
potato as a partial substitute for
wheat in bread making.
The yield per acre can be made
more certain by greater attention
to the selection of disease-free
potates of good varieties, by
treatment of seed potatoes im
medediately before planting, and
by the use of sprays to pre vent
loss from blight.
Mrs. Margaret Johnston and
sons of t h e Cove spent a few
days recently in the home o
Mr. and Mrs. A. B. McDowell,
near Lemasters.

Farm Machinery
Mr. Farmer, your Government
is calling upon you to raise more
food.
Can you do this without proper im
plements or without soil aids? Never in
tbe history of this country, except dur
ing the Civil War, has the farmer re
ceived such high prices tor his products.
Machinery prices are higher too, but not
in the same proportion.
Will you save money by doing with
out a plow, cultivator, harrow, or some
other necessary implement? Will you
save money by neglecting to buy a bind
er, a manure spreader, or a grain drill?
Think it Over. Remember too,
that we bought at last year's prices, and
can sell at much lower figures than pres
ent market conditions permit Call and
see a complete line.
Dry Goods
Our spring dry-goods are beginning
to arrive. More yet to arrive thruout
the month. Come in and look at them
even if you are not ready to buy.
The best way to economize in these
war times is to buy eood quality, staple
merchandise. Don't buy cheap, shoddy
goods. It doesn't pay, and this store
doesn't have them in stock.
We are especially proud of our dry
goods line. Remember it is complete.
