OVER THE TOP.
The War Savings Stamps Trive Last
Wtek Ended Gloriously For
Fulfill C unty.
Tuat the citizens of Fulton
County are filled with the war
spirit up to the point of satura
tion is evidenced by the prompt
ness by which they meet every
call of the Government for fi
nancial assistance. Of the Lib
erty Loan bonds, this County ab
sorbed more than $200 000.00
worth, and with the closing of
the War Savings Stamps sale
last week, it is certain now that
a like sum has been invested in
the "baby bonds." This means
more than $40.00 for every man,
woman and child in the County,
in addition to what has been
given to the Red Cross work.
On account of the fact that re
ports have not been received
from all the school districts, the
report of last week's drive is
given by townships; but next
week, we expect to give the re
port of money raised at each
school house.

Attention to Water Consum
ers of the Borough of
McConnellsburg.
The McConnellsburg Water
Company has spent a consider
able amount of money to furnish
its patrons, not only an adequate
but pure supply of water. By
adequate you give to every con
sumer a supply sufficient for its
needs: by pure you give a supply
that protects not only the health
of the borough but of the sur
rounding community. Each
consumer knows, or should know,
that this is not optional with the
Water Company, but is according
to thejegulations of the Health
and Public Service Commission
of Pennsylvania. Discrimination
cannot be tolerated and in order
that every individual consumer
can be treated accordingly the
Water Company will install
water meters to the individual
consumer, inese meters are in
such simple form that every
property holder can be able to
calculate not only his actual con
sumption, but his water rate for
the period as per regulations.
The asset of any community is
its water supply, without this
you cannot exist, and so it. is
with a water company' without
your co-operation. In order that
you may thrive and the water
company exist, it is neces
sary that trie water com
pany post new rates, rules and
regulations. In McConnellsburg
it is absolutely necessary that
economy be practised in its water
supply for the reason that .the
water facilities in this district
are anything but simple. iThe
more money the water company
is compelled to expend to provide
the consumer with a pure and
adequate supply, it is but natural
that the consumer must be ex
pected to pay proportionately in
order that such a water com
pany may exist.
The water company's represen
tatives will be at the Hotel Harris
until the end of the present week
and would deem it a favor if any,
all at.or a committee designed by
the consumers would call upon
him for any explanation. The
company also wishes to call the
attention of the delinquent pay
ments and desires to state that
their representative will receive
and receipt such bills as may be
due. If such bills are not paid
promptly, it will become the
painful duty of the company to
Bhut off the water supply to
these delinquent consumers im
mediately.
Three temporary office build

3-story structure, 491 feet long,
260 feet wide, with a floor space
of 270,000 square feet, was ready

From Camp Lee.
Levi H. Garland, 23 Co.. Gth
Tr. Bn, Infantry Replacement
Camp, Camp Lee, Va., in a letter
written last Saturdav afternoon
says: "At the end of five weeks
in the service of Uncle Sam, I
still enjoy the best of health.
It is very warm to-day, but it was
quite cool during the past week
with much rain. During the
past three weeks we have been
putting in full time drilling, and
we expect to go to the rifle range
soon.
"I certainly wish that the peo
pie at home could have the oppor
tunity of visiting a soldiers'
training camp. It would be an
eye-openerto some who think the
Government slow in preparing
men for the Front. The real
truth about the matter is, that
the Government is working with
marvelous speed.
"The Y. M. C. A. is doing great
work for the soldier, and it should
have the heartiest cooperation of
the people at home. The person
who does not support the Y. M.
C. A. and the Red Cross i3 eith
er woefully ignorant of what
these organizations are doing for
the moral, physical and spiritual
welfare of the boys who have
left the comforts of home, or is
hardened in greed and selfish
ness. Our people should be
proud that they have the oppor
tunity to help in so noble a cause,
instead of turning their backs
upon the solicitors, as some do.
If you had ason ora brother in
the army, you would feel quite
differently about it; and it may
not be long until you have that
mt m 1 1
experience, ineiiie ot a soiaier
in times of peace may, to some
extent, be a lazy one; not so in
time of war. No boy on the
farm in harvest time leads a
more strenuous life. There is se
rious work ahead, and the result
will depend upon how well the
boys are prepared.
"Hundreds of new recruits
came into camp during the past
week. When a boy first gets in
to camp he feels like a cat in a
strange garret, but he soon be
comes infected with the spirit,
and wishes for the time when he
can join the boys in France and
do his bit to win the world for
Democracy.
