Yast Volume of Money Rolling in from
the Sale of War Saving Stamps.
Philadelphia April 24-The
War-Stamp sales for the nation
to the end of March aggregated
Bran 2 40 $149,361,972. Pennsylvania's
contribution to the vast fund was
$10,808,034. The palm for high
subscription went to Nebraska
vhich state, with an estimated
population of 1,296,006, bought
$14,343,991 worth of stamps, or
$11,06 for each inhabitant. For
the month of March' alone Ne
braska purchased $6.64 in stamps
for each member of its popula
tion. New York was second
with $12,273,783, but- it was
twenty-ninth in the list of States
with a per capita of $1. 19. East
em Pennsylvania was twenty
fifth, its per capita being $1;40.
Ihe District of Columbia 19
Becond in per capita with $3 73,
Missouri third with $3.14 and
Kansas fourth, $3,11, Of the
twenty leading states all but five
are west of the Mississippi river.
Since the beginning of April
the Treasury Department reports
show average war savings re
ceipts of $2,600,000 a day, or at
the rate of $800,000,000 a year.
The daily average is constantly
rising, however, having been
$730,000 in December, $1,250,000
in January, $1,500,000 in Febru
ary and $2,227,000 in March.
The wonderful showing made
by Nebraska in March is attrib
uted entirely to the pledge card
system inaugurated in thai
month and still operating success
fully, so successfully in fact that
the state now has more than
$25,000,000 pledged to the end of
the year, sufficient to run its per
capita aoove $35. This Nebraska
plan is to be put into operation in
Pennsylvania beginning with
"Pledge Week," May 13-18.
Bed Cross Work.
Instead of lagging, the interest
in Red Cross work among our lo
cal workers ia growing in inten
sity every day. It is now about
conceded that the credit of win
ning the world from the dreadful
clutches of the Kaiser will belong
to the women. It is true that
the boys will meet the enemy in
mortal combat, but it is the wo
men with untiring sacrifice that
are helping provide these same
boys with shelter, food, medical
help, and encouragement.
As was told in the News last
week, one of our town ladies con
ceived a scheme that would net
just the nicest kind of a sum
and so easy! The only thing to
.it was, that she would entertain
ten ladies, each of whom should
contribute a half dollar; then,
each of the ten would entertain
eight, who in like manner would
not forget the half-dollar contri
bution; the eighty, (ten times
eight) in turn would each enter
tain six, which would add 480
persona and $240.00 more to the
treasury. The weight of the load
now began to. be felt; for when
those480 women startedout each
to find four persons making this
class number 1,920, and the 1,920
each to find 2 persons, or a total
of 3,840 in the fifth class they
found they were just up against
it and they concluded to let the
last two or three thousand per
sona take their own way to raise
money. .. So, now any lady who
wants to add something to the
Red Cross treasury, just slips
quietly around among her friends
and bids them to the feast
When they come she serves light
refreshments, receives a contri
bution of, generally, a half dol
lar, although there is nothing in
the by-laws to prevent any one's
chipping in fifty-pne cents if he
feels like it and so the work is
going on.
Id addition to the sums report
ed last week, the treasurer re
ports the following entertain
ers" and their contributions.
Miss Ruth Kendall $4.00
Miss Rhoda Kendall 1.00
Miss Annie Dickson 4.00
Mrs. B. W. Logue 3.60

Mrs. Geo. W. Hays 3.00
Mrs. C. F. Jacobs 5.00

Consultation Free
Weekly Review.
Henry Clews, one of New
York's foremost bankers, in his
weekly financial review of last
Saturday gives the following:
"Early war news this week
was not encouraging. The Ger
man hosts brought unprecedent
ed pressure upon the British
army on the Western front,
forcing it to give considerable
ground, in an effort to sever the
line and drive the British back to
the sea. Fortunately that Brit
ish line held, and though badly
bent has not been broken. Hope
is now rising owing to arrival of
French reinforcements; and the
most critical point since the war
began is now being faced. The
destiny of the world is at stake,
and any day decisive results may
follow. At tne same time we
must not deceive ourselves by
overconfidence. Let it be frank
ly admitted that Germany has
been immensely favored by the
breakup of Russia, and the con
sequent release of large bodies of
German soldiers, which enabled
Germany to draw freely upon
Russia labor and food supplies
should tne enemy succeed in
making important gains in the
present drive it will mean noth
ing le3s than a serious prolonga
tion of the war. But a final
German victory is impossible; be
cause the world and civilization
cannot and will not submit to
German ideal9 and domination
In any event it will probably fall
upon us to give tne nmsning
stroke without delay. It is pre
cisely this that Germany in
tensely fears; hence this hectic
drive, this surpreme effort to
win, before America gets in with
all its might. Our efforts to
send men and munitions must be
tacked up generously and prompt
ly with funds. The Liberty Loan
must be heavily oversubscrib
ed as a patriotic debt to our coun
try, to the men at the front, and
even on the common basis of
intelligent self interest. Of late
subscriptions have not been com
ing in with sufficient prompt
ness. It is difficult to explain
this lethargy, which is probably
only temporary. The remainder
of the campaign must be pushed
with erowing intensity, for suc
cess in tne war depends upon
successful financing. It is either
'bonds or bondage.'
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Keefer, of
Thompson township, made a
trip to McConnellsburg last Fri
day. On account of the swollen
condition of Licking Creek, it be
came necessary for them to go
around by Peck's fording in or
der to get across.

Use Local Supply Of Lime.
When lime is properly used,
it is a great aid in speeding up
the production of miay crops
While it is not usually listed
among the commercial fertih
zer?, it furnishes food for plants
It also corrects acidity of the soil
and improves its physical con
dition, lb also in lluences favor
ably the decomposition of tbe
organic nutter in tbe soil, and in
some cases it may make available
to a slight extent insoluble forms
of potash and other minerals
It is particu'arly valuable if there
is a good mpply of organic mat
ter in tbe soil
Spring is a good time to apply
lime, particularly the liydrattd
form, and specialists of the
Department of Agriculture are
urfii that local limestone de
posils bo ur.ii zid in every ponsi
ble Vi..y. Thin is u.1 ready Doing

doubt the pructicn could be very
widely extended. However, it
involves, in tb9 case of grinding,
the purchase aud delivery - ot

be difficult to becomp ish, aud in
tia rase of local burning it means
