Youthful Prisoner Escapes From the
Rockview Penitentiary.
Carl Cassello, who age is given as
seventeen years, made his escape
from Rockview penitentiary between
8:30 and 9 o’lcock on Sunday morn-
ing. He was at work at the prison
creamery, and, according to prison
officials, became embroiled in a fight
with another inmate. Shortly after-
ward it was discovered that he was
missing and the usual man hunt was
on.
Cassello was traced north through
the woods to Roopsburg and from
there he came in the main highway
to Bush’s Addition where he is be-
lived to have gone up on the wooded
hill back of the school house. A cor-
don of guards surrounded the hill
early Sunday evening but failed to
get their man.
In the meantime a Buick car be-
longing to Trocd Parker, of Clearfield,
parked in front of his mother’s home,
on east Bishop street, was stolen
about 7:30 o'clock Sunday evening,
and it is possible that it was taken
by the escaped prisoner. The car was
later found parked on the street in
Tyrone.
Cassello was serving a sentence of
two to four years for felonious at-
tack and assault and was sent from
Berks county to the eastern peniten-
tiary, later having been transferred
to Rockview. He was a model pris-
oner in every respect and was figur-
ing on taking out papers to ask for
a pardon. It is quite possible that
the fight he got into, Sunday morn-
ing, had a lot to do with his escape.
Cassello is 5 feet 63% inches tall and
weighs 153 pounds. He has black
hair and chestnut colored eyes. When
he left he wore blue trousers, blue
eap and a blue sweater.

the old-time farmers’ institute. One
day will be spent at each place, with
meetings in the morning and after-
noon. The morning subject to be dis-
cussed will be “Profitable Dairy Feed-
ing,” by R. H. Olmstead. At 1:30
p. m. J. B. Dickey will talk on “Le-
gumes and Fertilizer,” which will be

Axe Used in Fight with Telling
Effect.
Francis O'Rourke, of Philipsburg,
“is in the hospital at that place with a
‘bad cut on his head alleged to have
been made with a double-bitted axe
wielded by one Charles Reilly, who
claims he struck the blow in self-de-
fense. The fight occurred at the Reil-
ly home at Old Moshannon on the
evening of January 28th. The men
evidently got into an altercation and
Reilly blames O'Rouvke with flourish-
ing a knife when he grabbed the axe
and struck, cutting quite a gash on
©’Rourke’s head which slightly dent-
ed the skull. It was forty-eight
hours later before a physician was
summoned to attend the wounded man
and a little infection having developed
he was sent to the hospital.

| Mother and Daughter Pass Away.
Mrs. Mary Ann Moore, widow of
the late T. G. Moore, died on Sunday
afternoon at the home of her son,
Victor, at Fowler, in Taylor township,
as the result of a stroke of paralysis
sustained a few days previous. She
was 88 years old in January and spent
most of her life at Fowler. She was
a member of the Mount Pleasant
United Brethren church since girl-
hood, and was a fine, Christian wom-
an,
Her surviving children are Victor
Moore, at whose home she died; Har-
vey, in Altoona; Mrs. Alice Strana-
han, of State College, and Mrs. Ber-
tha Beichler, of Tyrone. She also
leaves one brother and a sister, Wil-
liam Moore, of Hannah, and Mrs. Ty-
son, of Taylor township. Funeral
services was held at the Mount Pleas-
ant United Brethren church at ten
o’clock yesterday morning, burial be-
ing made in the church cemetery.
Ten hours after the death of Mrs.
Moore her daughter, Mrs. Emma
Woods, wife of George Woods, passed
away at her home at West Decatur,
Clearfield county, following an illness
of two weeks with bronchial pneumo-
nia, the result of an attack of influen-
za. She was sixty years old and in
addition to her husband is survived
by seven daughters and one son,
namely: Mrs. T. L. Baughman, of
West Decatur; Mrs. Arthur Kellander,
of Osceola Mills; Mrs. Lee Thompson,
of Philipsburg; Mrs. E. C. Bloom, of
Toledo, Ohio; Jonas Moore, and Mrs.
Robert Bock, of West Decatur; Mrs.
Samuel Butler and Mrs. Ellsworth
Vaughn, at home.
The funeral was held in the United
Brethren church at West Decatur, on
Wednesday afternoon, burial being
made in Mock’s cemetery.
Severe Restrictions on British Money
Lenders.
Severe statutory restrictions are
imposed on money-lenders in Britain
by an Act of Parliament which came
into force on January 1.
Before the money-lender can carry
on business at all, he must take out
an Excise 'icense which will cost him
$75 yearly. This license must bear
his true name. Usually, British mon-
ey-lenders, whatever their own pat-
ronymics, prefer to trade under such
names as Colquohoun, Fitzmaurice,
Stuart, Rosslyn, Plantagent or Mont-
gomery.
And before he can obtain a license
the money-lender must secure from a
court of law a certificate which will
be granted on direct evidence of good
character. Apart from this, he will
no longer be allowed to circularize
his clients through the mails, and
even the delivery of an advertisement
containing only his name, address and
telephone number is prohibited wun-
less the person receiving it has made
a written request for the document.
Conditions are also prescribed for
the form of money-lenders’ advertise-
ments in newspapers, and many other
restrictions are imposed on their ac-
tivities. Interest is limited to 48 per
cent per annum.
Country’s Wild Game Close to Kx-
tinction.
The remnant of wild game birds
and animals in this country today, as-
cording to Dr. William Hornaday, nat-
uralist and wild bird life conserva-
tor, represents about 2 per cent of
the stock that existed here 60 years
ago. All our wild game ranging in
size from the tiny turkey to moose,
is rapidly diminishing in numbers.
They have an unequal chance with the
vast army of hunters equipped with
the latest in guns, ammunition and
well-trained dogs. Every year the
wild life grows scarcer while the ar-
my of hunters grows larger and larg-
er and larger and their guns and am-
munition mere deadly and effective.
At the present rate, it is claimed, be-
fore the year 2027 the United States
will be swept as clean of wild life
and even song birds as is Italy. The
few small game refuges and preserves
are considered insufficient to save the
species, some of which are already ex-
tinct or nearly so. Some of the Amer-
ican game species that face early ex-
tinction are the woodeock, jacksnipe,
golden plover, antelope, California
grizzly bear, wild sheep and moun-
tain goats. The early passing of the
wild turkey, grouse and beaver is al-
so feared.

BELLEFONTE HIGH DOWNS
MT. UNION, 36-31
Bellefonte High's improving five
took on the best appearance it has
shown all year to humble Newt’s ag-
gregation 36-31. .
The Red and White plainly showed
its ability to come from behind to
snatch victory from apparent defeat.
Trailing 31-28 with but three minutes
left to play, “Vie” and his boys called
time out. In less than two minutes
after this, they had slipped four beau-
tiful field goals through the cords to
eke out a sweet victory over the
former coach of some of the boys.
It was a grand finale to an interest-
ing game and proved beyond all
measure of doubt that Bellefonte has
a team to be reckoned with in the fu-
ture.
Starting the game impressively by
sinking two splendid goals, the Red
and White maintained a lead over
Newt’s outfit until the final minutes
when Mt. Union slipped ahead for the
first time, due to the brilliance of her
forward’s ability to cut for the bask-
et.
Heverly’s work during the first half
was the most brilliant he has shown
all year, while Crust, placed in a new
position at center after Jack’s exit,
displayed a brilliance ever so grati-
fying to the fans. The work of the
guards was of the finest type—not
alone being confined to defense—while
“Vice’s” field goals and characteristic
fight was an inspiration to ail.
Newt presented a fine combination
worthy of all that was and is being
said of them. Continually, their pass-
ing and general floor work gave
“Sam” and “Mosy” plenty to think
of, but fortunately in most cases
they were able to out guess them.
Their team built around their brilliant
captain at center proved to be a stub-
born foe in spite of the lead main-
tained throughout most of the game
by Bellefonte.
Bellefonte goes to Tyrone Friday
to meet the only conquerors of Lewis-
town, and they will seek to avenge
an early season defeat from Lock
Haven at home Saturday.
Optimism is at a high pitch due to
the reversal of form in Bellefonte’s
game of late. Keep it up, Red and
White!

street, will be eighty-five years old

no special celebration will be held-
It will be recalled that Mr. Resides,
who is a carpenter by occupation, had
a fall some months ago while doing
some work at the home of Wilbur
Baney, on east Curtin street, and has
never completely recovered from in-
juries sustained at that time.

MOTOR ACCIDENT DEATH
TOLL MOUNTS HIGH.
Pennsylvania’s motor accident death
toll during the last three months of
1927 amounted to 380 persons. There
were 3194 accidents reported on the
roads of the State during the last
quarter of the year and in addition to
the fatalities there were 3085 persons
injured. :
Eighty-one per cent of the acci-
dents, those occurring to 2619 cars,
involved death or injury to one or
more persons riding in the ears. Of
the total number of accidents only
576 resulted in property damage on-
1
vy.
“Analysis of the records, main-
tained since October,” said Benjamin
G. Eynon, registrar of motor vehicles,
today reveals that 222 pedestrians
were killed and only 158 motorists,
while motorists held a long lead in
injuries with 2172 against 913 pe-
destrians. A majority of the pedes-
trians involved in a motor vehicle ac-
cident suffered fatal injuries but most
of them escaped death.
Accidents involving vehicles only
exclusive of pedestrians, totaled 2,-
019, included head-on and rear-end
collisions and side-swipes. In more
than half of these cases the causes
assigned according to numerical pre-
dominance were: loss of control, skid-
ding, brake or other mechanical fail-
ure, intoxicated drivers, speeding or
reckless driving, bad weather, glar-
ing headlights and failure to exercise
caution at railroad crossings.
The locale of the accidents is of
importance in the consideration of
highway hazards. It was found that
1120, or 55 per cent of these col-
lisions occurred on straight stretches
of the highway; 668, or 34 per cent,
at intersections; 83 or 4 per cent,
at railroad crossings, and 47 or 2 per
cent, on curves. The fact that the
larger percentage occurred on the op-
en road is due largely to the fact that
reckless driving and chance-taking, in
passing vehicles, is more often in-
dulged in on these straight stretches.
College Cow Makes Remarkable
Record.
Penn State Homestead Johanna, a
Purebred Holstein cow, has just com-
pleted an enviable record, at the age
of two years and eleven months, in
the Pennsylvania State College dairy
herd, Prof. A. A. Borland, head of the
department of dairy husbandry, said
last Monday. She produced 17,870
pounds of milk and 658 pounds of
butterfat in a year, which is nearly
four times the production of the av-
erage Pennsylvania cow.
Considering her youth—she has just
recahed her third birthday—the ree-
ord is still more remarkable. Hol-
stein heifers usually are not bred to
freshen until two and one-half years
of age. Very few Holsteins have ex-
ceeded this college-bred heifer in pro-
duction. :
She is a daughter of Sir Forbes
Pontiac Segis Homstead, a fine Hol-
stein bull presented to the college a
few years ago by the extension spe-
cialists of the college and the county
agents. He was the sixth prize bull
of his age class when exhibited at the
National Dairy Exposition in Syra-
cuse, New York, piacing above grand
champions of the Ohio State Fair and
of the Eastern States Exposition for
that year.
Donors of Sir Homestead, as well
as the dairymen at Penn State, are
rleased with this good record of pro-
duction.

Bradford Court Upholds New Assess-
ment Law.
In a ruling handed down recently
by Judge Charles M. Culver, of Tow-
anda, Pa., the act passed by the last
Legislature prohibiting the assess-
ment of taxes of “horses, mares, geld-
ings, mules and meat cattle over the
age of four years,” was declared con-
stitutional.
The ruling will cost Bradford coun-
ty alone $700,000 in revenue and oth-
er counties in proportion. The ruling
was the first in the State on the act
and had been awaited with interest
by owners of livestock.
The county commissioners who had
contested the constitutionality of the
law, had gone ahead with their tax-
ing of animals as in other years,
causing Frank M. Moore, owner of
five horses and 18 head of cattle, to
bring suit for the return of $495 of
which $225 was assessed on his hors-
es.
The law, making animals amenable
to tax, was passed in 1924 and for 3
vears had withstood legislative action.
The last session of the Legislature
passed an amendment April 28, 1927,
relieving livestock owners of the levy.
In another ruling handed down to-
day by the same judge, it was de-
clared illegal for householders to
manufacture for beverage purposes
pny wine or cider of more than one-
half of one per cent alcoholic content.
The test was brought by Peter Alex-
ender following seizure on his prem-
ises.

that thrift was a virtue and one of
which the Scotch might well be proud.
“As a collector of oddities,” he re-
marked, “I have occasion to visit
pawnshops all over the city, and to
the credit of my race I wish to state
that I have never yet seen a set of
bagpipes in one of them.”

FARM NOTES.
Poultry manure is the most valu-
able fertilizer. It is high in organic
nitrogen, phosphoric aicd and potash.
Nearly all diseases of poultry are
taken in to the body through the
mouth, either with the feed or water.
Millet hay should not be fed to
horses for any length of time lest it
injure their kidneys.
Celery is normally a biennial, pro-
ducing seed the second year of its
growth, but occasionally plants go to
seed the first season.
A stubble field seeded to fall rye
will furnish fall and early spring
pasture and help to save your hay
crop for winter feeding.
Conditions that kill out other
grasses and clovers from water stand-
ing in hollows will affect alfalfa and
sweet clover the same way.
Begin to make repairs in machinery
that can be made at home. Have all
other repairs finished so that all
equipment is ready for instant use,
As soon as it is convenient, test the
seed corn for germination. Perhaps
it will grow and then you will not
have to order a supply. But if it
does not germinate satisfactorily you
will want to know it early enough to
get seed elsewhere.
Have you ordered the trees, shrubs,
vines and perennials that you desire
to plant in the spring? If orders are
placed early you can give the nursery-
man a definite date upon which to
make shipment. Then the planting
materials will be on hand the exact
time when you can take care of them.
Recent years have shown a gradual
decline of cows in Pennsylvania. With
an increased production per cow, how-
ever, the total supply is somewhat
greater now than before. This in-
dicates a healthy trend and points the
way to a better condition in the dairy
industry, State College specialists de-
clare.
Hotbed and coldframe sash will
keep for many years if protected by
paint and kept dry when not in use.
In putting in new glass, scrape back
to sound wood and give a coat of
paint before putting on the putty.
The putty should be applied under the
glass as well as over it. Liquid put-
ty is very good for this purpose. Red-
wood and cypress are good materials
for sash.
Dirty eggs are the source of a
great economic loss in the marketing
of eggs. They are worth considera-
bly less money, due to their inferior
keeping qualities and unattractive ap-
pearance. Poultrymen should prevent
the production of inferior eggs. One
of the first steps is to provide a
heavy straw litter in the poultry
house, and the other is to provide
suitable nests. The important essen-
tial to a nest is to provide a bottom
of wire screen.
Reports that have come to the In-
diana experiment station from sur-
veys made in different parts of the
State show that the all-mash system
of feeding which they have been ad-
vocating during recent years is prov-
ing popular with the poultrymen of
that State. In some places serviee
agencies have been established to pre-
pare feed for the community.
The all-mash system of feeding |
consists of mixing mash and seratch
grains together, after cracking the
scratch grains. This system of feed-
ing insures the chicks getting a well
balanced ration and having feed avail-
able at all times. These essentials
help to produce satisfactory growth.
Many people are using a similar sys-
tem in feeding laying hens. The sys-
tem not only supplies an abundance
of well balanced feed, but it is alse
more sanitary and saves labor.
The hawk usually carries off the
young chicks. If they attack larger
ones they leave the bodies, and it will
be found death was due to a wound
in the back of the neck, the skull torn
open, and the feathers (if the ear-
cass has been devoured so that the
skull evidence is not available) are
widely scattared around but not
trailed.
Should the chicken be found lying
dead on its side, with its neck
stretched out and a small wound in
the throat, it is the work of a weasel
that has sucked its life blood.
If the carcass is found with head
and breast devoured, it is the work of
a cat.
The rat, as a rule, does its deadly
work at night, and the carcass is oft-
en found very badly mauled. The en-
trails are generally drawn out but not
eaten, and the carcass is bitten and
gnawed in many places.
The silo provides the best way to
cope with the European corn: borer
and to make the most of what may be
saved from the corn crop, says the
New York state college of agriculture
at Cornell university.
Unless all signs fail this will be |
one of New York’s poorest corn years,
the college points out. Planting was
late because of unfavorable weather;
a shortage of good seed was respon-
sible for many a poor stand; corn
fields were disked and seeded to buck-
wheat. A late fall may help some but
cannot compensate for the cool sum-
mer which has reduced yields in ev-
ery corn field. | ;
Much corn grown for grain will
have to be put in the silo if it is to
be saved. Soft corn which will not
a
keep in a crib is safe in a silo; and
corn stalk cut up fine and put
through the fermentation of silage
cannot harbor live corn borers.
Corn properly stored in the silo re-
tains more of its feeding value than
by any other method. The college
suggests that the farmer allow his
corn to stand as long as possible, re-
membering that each day’s growth
means hundreds of pounds of feed;
allow the ears to reach the glazed
stage, if possible; if he must cut corn
that is very immature, the bundles
should lie on the ground a couple of
days to evaporate some of the excess
moisture. Extremely green silage is
watery and poor in quality.
Reduce the spoilage in the silo by
having the walls air-tight; by cutting
the pieces small; and by packing firm-
ly to exclude even small air pockets
where mold may start. In a year like
this a good part of the feeding value
is in the leaves of the corn plant, so
none of the leaves should be lost.

“Hickmanism” is New Disease Among
Young People Today.
A disease; “Hickmanism,” found
among young people, caused by nega-
tivism and suppression in the home
and schools is breaking down the mor-
al of our boys and girls. :
This was the startling revelation
made here recently by Dr. George F.
Arps, head of the department of
psychology at Ohio University and
national authority on the problems of
adolescent children.
“Relief can only come from the
proper treatment of the brains of
children while in the process of un-
folding,” Prof. Arps advised.
The psychology professor cited the
case of William E. Hickman, who
startled the world by kidnapping and
slaying 12-year-old Los An geles
school girl, as an example of the in-
roads the new disease is making.
“The ‘don’t’ process of training the
child begun at home and continued
through the lower school, must be
stopped,” Prof. Arps emphatically as-
serted. “Rather than’ carefully guid-
ing the child in expression, our atti-
tude as a rule, toward children is that
of suppression. Suppression may be
accomplished in two minutes, leading
by gentle stages. Expression may take
an afternoon. However, this extra
effort and time is worth the trouble.
“We should lead our children out of
the wilderness of doubt, uncertainty
and sometimes despair, when they
pass from infancy to adulthood going
through the turbulent rapids beset
with emotional, spiritual and physical
hazards.”
In conclusion Professor Arps inti-
mated there are moral and physical
derelicts “because no guide or mentor
accompanies youth on the perilous ad-
venture “from childhood to adult-
hood.”

Dogs, Like Automobiles, Must Have
1928 Licenses.
Every dog owner who does not have
a 1928 license on his dog is now vio-
lating the State dog law and is sub-
ject to prosecution, the bureau of an-
imal industry, Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Agriculture, said in a state-
ment issued today.
“The Pennsylvania dog law re-
quires that 1928 licenses be on all
dogs by January 15. No extra time
is allowed. After that date it is just
as much violation of the law to al-
low a dog to be without a 1928 li-
cense as it would be to run an auto-
mobile without a new license on or
after January 1,” officials point out.
Dog licenses have been in the
hands of county treasurers for some
time so that no dog owner has been
without ample opportunity to get the
necessary license. Dog owners who
have not done so are reminded that
a delay may prove costly. The State
dog law enforcers have already start-
ed their canvass to see that dogs are
properly tagged.”
