What about the boys who are fighting for you in France? For you a little economy and deprivation. For them the trenches; the pitiless storms of rain and sleet; the ceaseless deafening bombard ment of the guns; hunger, cold and fever; wounds and death. That you may dwell in peace, plenty, and security, they sacrifice everything, give everything, brave everything, and face a nameless grave with a smile and a song. What are you doing, or giving, or sacrificing for them? S3 (S1 THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK McConnellsburg, Pa. On the 10th of April, Morgan Cline, brother of our townsman, R. M.

It fell to the depth of 18 inches on the level, aod if it bad not melted so fast the first day, it would have measured two feet or more. Al most as soon as it quit falling the clouds cleared, tbe sun came out and chased it away in great shape; but it left the roads in a bad condition. We had no south ern mail from Tuesday until Saturday. Farmers who had hustled along during the fine weather in March and early April and had their oats in the ground, are now feeling a little blue.

The boys are likely to get their fare paid on a trip to see the Kaiser before many days. Quite a little excitement, pre vailed in our usually peaceful! little village last Saturday even-! ing. A certain young man took it upon himself to cuss tbePresi- j dent, and to say he would jjst like to have tbe opportunity to chuck the President's bead into a snowdrift. This was too much for our red-blooded boys to stand, and in a pair of minutes the youDg pro-German felt, not oniy his head, but hi entire body ram med into tbe aforesaid snow drift in a manner that was not as gontle as putting a baby to sleep. When the victim's brother came tearing up with his coat partly shed to help his brother out, and saw the peeling of outer gar ments going on among the boys that bad his brother in charge, he decided to retreat while go ing was gcod. It is to be hoped that this httla episode may be a wammg. and save others from falling into the hands of Govern ment officers. On last Sunday awoek, our Sunday school superintendent, took occasion to cirticise the Gov ernment and to make remarks that were not likely to foster a pttriot'c Bpirit in tirsa present 'This was much rssent ed by the boys, and there is like ly to be a "scene', if it be repeat ed. Wheat Substitute Problem Solved by College Experts. The ruling that every pound of flour purchased be accompanied by a pound of wheat substitute his raised the difficult problem of choice and use of substitutes. Conditions will of course control selections but a variety is gener ally best for the average family for example, corn meal, corn starch, hominy, rice, barley, oat meal, rolled oats and tapioca. For alight, palatable, digestible loaf of yfast bread, only one fourth or at most one third of the wheat flour may be replaced by a substitute. Mufllns, pancakes andother quick breads may easily be made "fifty fifty"; Pastry and cikes are satisfactory made with two-thirds or three fourths wheat and the remainder a substitute. Since bread, cakes and pies will permit of only a small amount of substitution, aome other method must be found. 5 Grand Spring Opening Thursday-Friday-Saturday, April 11-12-13, 1918 AND FOR ONE ENTIRE WEEK THEREAFTER SHAPIRO BROS.
