He was 82 years of age. Engaged for over half a century in writing and compiling law books, he was known to practically every mem- ber of the bench and bar of the older generation in Pennsylvania, For some years, while located at Harrisburg. he wrote a series of comments on State affairs which were published under the heading “Capitolines.” Besides a number of legal works bearing his own name he was the compiler and editor of other im- portant digests and practice books which were published under the name of prominent practicing at- torneys of the Philadelphia bar. Mr. Bierly was bornon the Bierly homestead at Rebersburg, Centre county, Pennsylvania, June 3, 1847, a son of Peter S. and Mary (Reed) Bierly. He obtained his early educa- tion at the Miles township schools and academy, and became an instruc- tor in the Montoursville academy. From there he went to Williams- port where he engaged in news- paper work on the Williamsport Sun, studying law on the side. In 1870 he was admitted to practiceat the Lycoming county bar. One year later he was united in mar- riage with Florence Hortense Bosard, of Osceola, N. Y, His first wife died a year later and the following year he was united in marriage with Sarah | Louise Bosard, a sister of his first wife. He was elected to the State Leg- islature from. Lycoming county in 1873, serving one term. He prose- cuted one of the first stream pollu- tion cases in the State of Pennsyl- vania during his practice in Wil- liamsport. In 1883 he moved with his family to Texas, where he was appointed State's attorney, having jurisdiction over the entire western half of the State. : The climate of Texas did not agree with his family and after a year and a half in that State he moved to Grand Forks, Dakota Ter- ritory. . He had been admitted to practice in the United States District and Circuit courts in 1876, and the Su- preme court in 1879. At Grand Forks he established the first Democratic daily newspaper in the northwest. He was admitted to practice in the Supreme court of North Dakota in 1887, but. devoted most of his energies to his news- paper work, writing several hand- books on North Dakota law on the side. He was a pioneer in the movement to bringing irrigation to the semi-arid section of the northwest, Slade : In 1894 Mr. Bierly returned to Pennsylvania and associated himself with the Rees Welsh law publishing firm in Philadelphia engaging in the compiling and editing of digests and text books for the legal profes- sion, an occupation which he pur- sued constantly to within several’ weeks of his death, the last several months of his work being ' done by dictation, wheén his physical powers were unequal to the task of writing. Possessed of an amazing memory, a thorough knowledge of the law, and a constitutional ability to work almost continuously under high pressure, Mr, Bierly probably com- piled more law books during his lifetime than any other man in the United States. - At the time of his death he was editor-in-chief of the Pepper and Lewis Quarterly Digest of Decisions, a position he held for twenty years. For about six years he was editor of the Pennsylvania Justices’ Law Reporter, and among his more prominent text books were “Time and Notice in Practice; Police Pow- er, State and Federal; Juries and Jury Trials.” ‘ For over sixty years Mr. Bierly was a member of the Odd Fellows’ lodge, having been a charter member of the lodge at Montoursville and a charter member of the Banner Lodge,-I.

" Eyery day one hears. the name of fhe Bald Eagle Valley, the Bald Eagle creek, the Bald Eagle or Muncy mountain yet few realize that ‘all probably took their names from the old Delaware Indian chief “Bald Eagle,” who is associated with the early settlement of this community, “Of “Bald Eagle” very little that is really authentic is known exoept the manner and date of his death. A Mr. McCable wrote a sketch of his life, but incorporated so much fiction in it that one is left in the dark as to what are facts and what imaginary. Withers, in his story of the “Bor- der Warfare,” page 105, gives what is gene:ally accepted as a correct ‘account of the death of “Bald Eagle.” It was derived from affida- vits and made at the time and loaned him by Maj. Isaac Craig. According to his statement “Bald Eagle” was murdered in the autumn of 1773, while on one of his visits to the Monongahela, It was while at Hacker's on the Monongahela, that Jacob Scott, William Hacker and Elijah Runner killed him and placed his body in the stern of his canoe, with a piece of Johnny- cake in his mouth, The canoe floated down to Prov- ince-place, below George's creek, Fayette county, when Mr. Province, obsérving that something was wrong, had it brought to shore, and the friendly old ‘Chief was buried on the . Province farm. “Bald Eagle” was a Delaware chief and spoke the English lan- guage very well. His death inflamed his tribe with ungovernable rage and is said to have caused the war on the Kenawha, followed by Dunmories expedition in 1774. CENTRE CO.

HEBERLING.—Mrs, Arvilla Heber- ling died at her home at State Col- lege, about five o'clock on Wednes- day evening of last week, as the re- sult of a cerebral hemorrhage, She had not been in good health for al- most two years and a year ago was the victim of a stroke of paralysis, and this no doubt resulted in the hemorrhage which caused her- death, She was a daughter of William and Susan Roop Bloom and was born at White Hall fifty-eight years ago.’ Following the death of her father family moved to Pine Grove Mills where she grew to womanhood. In 1895 she married Mr, Heberling and the first few years of their mar- ‘ried life were spent at Pine Grove Mills, Twenty-one years ago they moved to State Ccllege and that had been their home since.

Evey, of Le- mont, died at the Centre County hospital, on Tuesday, as the result of hardening of the arteries. He was a son of Levi and Hettie Evey and was born at Fillmore 82 years ago.

Funeral service ‘will be held tomorrow afternoon, burial to be made at Boalsburg. ,- In these young men. ‘quit the farm: to accept positions in the towns or cities, itis especially interesting to learn from a report of county vocational supervis- or William S. Jeffries just how much money can be made in farm- ing, if it is properly done, During the past year Mr. Jeffries has had charge of classes in vocational agri- culture at Howard, Pleasant Gap. Boalsburg, Port Matilda, and other places in the county. Every pupil in the class must take up some prac- tical line of agricultural work, It may be growing potatoes, corn or garden truck, feeding lambs, calves, etc. Strict account is kept of every project and all summed up at the end of the year shows the following record for the work under the sup- ervision of Mr. Jeffries: : Total Receipts isl Total Expens Net Profit .. Self Labor .. 4 Labor Income 20,205.47 And all the above by boys and girls studying vocational agriculture in Centre county. The boys enroll- ed in these classes have made a fine record, as some of the very finest projects in the State were in Cen- tre county. Several of the boys in the Gregg township vocational school have had fine enough projects to stamp them as consistent win- ners in the State project contest. Speaking of the vocational work Mr. Jeffries said: “In order that a student may real- ly fix his knowledge of any subject it is necessary for him to put into practice this knowledge. Project work in High school agriculture is that part of the work of the course carried on at home or on the farm. “The agricultural project is a wholehearted, purposeful farm en- terprise carried out to completion in its natural setting. The pupil, with the assistance of the instructor, se- lects, plans and carries out’ the work in some field of agricultural endeav- or. “The term “project” is not a new word, For many years it has been used by the U. S. Department of Agriculture to mean ‘“carefuly plan- ned investigation in agricultural science covering a considerable per- ior of time” and today we have run- ning at the Pennsylvania experiment stations Project No. 673, “Vitamine D Requirements of a Dairy Cow,” and Project No. 566, “A Field Test of Different Carriers of Phosphorus,” as types of projects the meaning of which we are familiar with, A proj- ect of this sense is a purposeful activity requisite of mature brains and ambitious men. “In Smith-Hughes vocational agri- culture the term is employed in con- nection with agricultural jobs pur- sued at home by school children. These purposeful activities have been named home projects and to day we have in Pennsylvania a hun- dred or more teachers in vocational agriculture supervising “home proj- ects.” The unit of purposeful activ- ity here is pursued as a learning exercise in a natural setting so that the boy may learr. while he earns. “The aims of the agriculture proj- ect are: First, to increase the skill of the student in the operation and and application of agricultural prin- ciples; second, to develop manager- ial ability; third, increase financial returns; and fourth, community im- provement. “One of the greatest values re- ceived from the agricultural course in the high school is the knowledge and experience gained from the farm project. The project teaches the boy to work for himslf and it shows him that accurate records must be kept if he is to carry on a farm business successfully, A project will usually net the boy financial returns, but even if his enterprise fails financial- ly, his effort is not a total loss, for it shows him his faults and may thereby save him loss in the future.” THE END OF A PERFECT DAY Walter Melton, a structural steel worker employed at State College, and Leo Keenan, also of that place, are in the Centre county jail in con- sequence of their too violent enjoy- ment of what was evidently a perfect day for them last Saturday. Lubricated to the point of ebuli- ent exhileration the men were head- ed in Melton’s new Ford toward Le- mont. Harry Inhoff, a pedestrian, signalled to warn them of the dan- gerous curve just this side of that place, but they gave no heed to it. Approaching the curve from the op- posite direction were Charles Zeig- ler, in his car, and Prof. Joseph Hayes, principal of the State College High school in his, The flying Mel- ton just grazed Ziegler's car but struck that of Hayes with such force as to practically demolish it and his own. No one was hurt, how- ever. Patrolman Pfaeffle happened on the scene and placed Melton and Keenan under arrest. Commandeer- ing a passing car he brought his pris- oners to jail here but as the car stalled in the snow when it attempt- ed to go up jail hill the officer had to invite his guests to walk, Either they didn’t want to walk or sketch- ily remembered that it was State College and not the jail they wanted to go to for a fight started and a number of by standers had to be deputized before they could be sub- dued. When searched a 32 calibre gun was found on Melton so they are facing all manner of possible charges. Melton failed to raise $1,- 400 bail and Keenan couldn't raise the $900 so both are still guests of the sheriff. — If you have some printing to do, let us do it for you. . ws VOCATIONAL PROJECTS .
