applied treatment for seed potatoes.
It is endorsed by the Department of
Agriculture of the United States gov-
erament and is so cheap that it is cer-
tainly worth a trial. Potatoes in
Centre county last year were far
from being good. Try “Dipdust” on

COURT CONVICTS MAN
FOR BURNING OWN CAR. |
Other Court News, Both Criminal and
Civil.
In quarter sessions court, last week,
J. P. Johnstonbaugh, of Liberty town-
ship, was convicted of burning his
own car, a Paige sedan, to prevent
it being seized by the sheriff and sold
on an execution. The case dates back
to last November when Sheriff E. R.
Taylor sold the property of the de-
fendant. At the time Mrs. Johnston-
baugh claimed ownership of the car.
An appraisement was made under the
interpleader law and a hearing was
held before Judge Fleming on Febru-
ary 8th, at which time the court de-
cided that the car was the property
of Mr. Johnstonbaugh and the sheriff
was directed to seize it and sell it for
the latter’s debts. After the hearing,
and before the sheriff had time to
take possession of the car, Mr. and
Mrs. Johnstonbaugh left in the auto-
mobile for home. At Milesburg they
purchased five gallon of gas which
they had put in the tank. At Mt.
Eagle a five gallon can of gas was
purchased which was placed in the
tonneau of the car. They then drove
to their home near Blanchard and
soon thereafter their son took the car
to drive into Blanchard. On the road
the car took fire and was completely
destroyed. After hearing all the evi-
dence in the case the jury returned
a verdict of guilty.
Commonwealth vs. Marlin Freder-
icks and Robert James. Charged with
forcible entry and larceny. Prosecu-
tor, Thomas F. Kessinger. The break-
ing, entering and larceny was com-
mitted near Eagleville station. The
defendants appeared in court, waived
the finding of the grand jury, plead
guilty and were each of them sen-
tenced to pay a fine of one dollar,
costs of prosecution and were sent to
the reformatory at Huntingdon,
Commonwealth vs. Robert James
and Lester DeLong. Charged with
forcible entry and larceny. Prosecu-
tor, Thomas F., Kessinger. The crime
was comimtted in Liberty township.
Robert James appeared in open court,
waived the finding of the grand jury,
plead guilty and was sentenced to pay
the costs of prosecution, a fine of one
dollar and was sent to the reforma-
tory at Huntingdon. Lester DeLong
did not appear.
CIVIL COURT BEGAN MONDAY. .
Court convened on Monday morn-
ing at ten o'clock with Hon. M. Ward
Fleming on the bench, and the fol-
lowing cases disposed of:
Andrew Thal and Bertha
wife, vs. J. V. Foster. Being an ac-
tion in trespass, continued.
Antoine H. Burke and Mary L.
Burke, ' his wife, a co-partnership
trading as Burket Brothers; vs. C. W.
Hunter. Being an action in assump-
sit, continued.
Edna M. Carson vs.
Weaver. This case was called for
trial and the defendant raised the
question as to the sitting of Judge
Thal, his
George W.
Fleming in this case, inasmuch as
prior to his elevation to the bench he
had been referce in bankruptcy, and
the case was continued at the cost of
the defendant.
Harry W. Todd vs. Homer Hess.
Being an action in trespass, and from
the testimony it appeared that the
plaintiff had two veluable dogs which
wandered onto the premises of the
defendant in Rush township, some
miles from the home of the plaintiff
in Philipsburg, near the defendant’s
chicken house, and the defendant ad-
mitted shooting these dogs, one dying
promptly, and the other being ser-
iously wounded he followed it and
nut it out of its misery; that the one
dog was older than the other and was
not licensed for the year 1926, on
the 4th day of February, 1926, when
*he shooting took place, and that the
younger dog had not been licensed
at all. The case was tried Monday
afternoon and a verdict was not ren-
dered at the time court adjourned for
the day. :
In the case of H. W. Todd vs. Hom-
er Hess the jury returned a verdict
in favor of the plaintiff in the sum
of $125,
BELLEFONTE BOROUGH LOSES
DAMAGE CASE
The case of Laura KE. Wright
against Bellefonte borough, an action
in trespass to recover damages for
injuries sustained in a fall on an icy
pavement in front of the Mrs. Charles
Smith property, on east Bishop street,
on the morning of January 14th, 1928,
was tried on Tuesday. The plaintiff
‘admitted that she knew the pavement
was in a dangerous condition because
of the ice but on the morning of her
fall had stepped on the ice without
thinking of the danger. She contend-
ed that because of her injuries she
was unable to continue her work as
a domestic. In defense the borough’s
contention was that the préper. of-
ficials had no knowledge of the dan-
gerous condition of the walk and be-
cause of this fact there was no con-
tributory negligence. The jury, how-
ever, returned a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff in the sum of $2500.
Red Cross Again Reorganized,
Pursuant to a general call twelve
petsons met in the W. C. T. U. room,

can Red Cross for the ensuing year

ris, chairman; John D. Sommerville,
vice chairman; Mrs. S. M. Shallcross,
secretary, and Charles M. McCurdy,
treasurer. An effort will now be
made to secure the services of another
community nurse: Cn
fair enough, isn’t it ? .
Dine and Inspect Plant.
Thirty-five officers and stockholders
of the Sutton Engineering Co., gath-
ered at the Bush house, at noon on
Monday, for the annual dinner that
always precedes the annual meeting
of the company.
An hour was devoted to a rather
elaborate and very excellent menu af-
ter which the party was driven to the
plant for an inspection tour. Every-
one was impressed with the physical
aspect of the property. Buildings
were found to be in a splendid condi-
tion and equipment gradually being
brought up to the point where little is
to be desired by way of additions or
improvements to make it thoroughly
efficient for the character of work
handled.
The great traveling crane that car-
ries the ponderous castings from one
machine to another is one of the few
relics of the old days in the machine
shops and it is already partially elec-
trified. When the work on it is com-
pleted the plant will be fully modern-
ized.
The pattern shop, foundry and store
houses all sowed evidence of pros-
perity and the system of economic
operation that begets it.
While the plant does general foun-
dry and machine work it specializes
on straightening machines for pipes,
bar iron and rails. The patent for
this machine is owned by the com-
pany and as there is a continuous de-
mand for it it has enjoyed two years
of very profitable business, besides
having orders for six months ahead.
Just now the enginee»s and draftsmen
of the Sutton company are at work
perfecting another machine for level-
ing sheets. When it is ready for the
market there iz every prospect of as
great a demand for it as the straight-
ener already has.
The industry employs about fifty-
five highly skilled men who draw
down good wages and have continu-
ous work under conditions highly sat-
isfactory so that labor troubles and
inefficiency are unknown to it. In
point of men craployed it is not now
one of Bellefonte’s big industries, but
it is a mighty stable one and is grow-
ing in the sound way that gives much
hope for the future.
The annual meeting, which was
presided over by J. Blair Sutton, the
president, revealed that even though
there has been a slowing up in most
other industries inquiries and orders
for Sutton products are larger than
they have ever been.

Other Business Disposed of at Regu-
lar Meeting, Monday Evening.
At a regular meeting, on Monday
evening, Bellefonte borough council,
without a dissenting vote, granted to
Robert F. Hunter, his heirs and as-
signs a fifty year franchise to fur-
nish gas to residents of the borough,
and for this purpose to be permitted
to lay gas mains and all necessary
appurtenances under the streets and
alleys of the town; the latter to be
used whenever possible. The fran-
chise ordinance was first presented to
council at a meeting on February 6th,
and when it was read for & second

es indemnifying the borough against
any damage that may accrue from
the installation of the service. These
riders were added at the suggestion
of members of State College council,
where a similar ordinance was passed
the same night.
Every member of council was pres-
ent at Monday evening’s meeting and
the first business was a complaint
from Raymond Ammerman and Mr.
Poorman relative to the surface wat- ;
er overflowing their properties on
east Howard street. The matter was
referred to the street committee for
investigation.
Fire marshall John J. Bower was
‘present and stated to council that the
cause of so much trouble with the fire
alarm is that it is connected with the
telephone exchange by a single wire,
the return being through a ground. |
If another wire were put up so as to
establish a complete circuit there
would be no further trouble. He es-
timated the cost of stringing and con-
necting a return wire at about one !
hundred dollars. He also suggested
that it would be a gnod thing if the '
firebells at both company houses and
the fire alarm could be connected up
on the same circuit, as an alarm on
all three could then be given simul-
taneously. The matter was referred
to the Fire and Police committee,
M. J. Barrick, district engineer
from the Williamsport office of the
| State Board of Health, was present to
| urge upon council the necessity of pre-
‘paring a comprehensive plan of the
sewer system of Bellefonte; not be-
cause the State board desires any im-
mediate or drastic changes, but merely
as a matter of reference and a guide
to council in the construction of any
"and all future sewer extension. He al-
so suggested that some plan should be
worked out whereby property owners
| should pay the cost of all sewer ex-
tensions, which is now the case In
most towns and boroughs.
A communication was rec eived
from the Secretary of Highways re-
