| you know, And choose to call your friend. John M. Fleming, January 24, 1981. ASK DOG OWNERS TO PROTECT GAME. Officials of the Game Commission ask the co-operation of dog owners estimation of game ficers a dog wandering at large is just as much of a menace to game as a cat prowling in the woods. Except during the regular train- ing season for dogs, which is in ef- fect August 20 and the end of Feb- ruayy dog owners are liable to a fine of $10 for each day dogs chase game, and $5 for each game bird or animal killed through such negli- gence. owners who permit their dogs to run elk or deer are likely to be fined heavily and at the same time the law provides that any dog caught in the act of pursuing either of these animals for one-half mile or more may be killed regard- less of whether it bears an identifi- cation collar and license or not. No notification of any sort must be given owner of dogs in such instances. But, the Game Com- mission, apreciating the value that every hunter places upon his dog always gives warning to such own- er in the hope he will make im- mediate effort to remedy the situa- tion. If he fails to do this, how- ever, the dog is likely to be killed, and in addition the law provides for a double penalty. Owners of the dogs who are caught chasing small me are always promptly warned. 4 the case of dogs chasing small game those bearing the name and address of the owrder may not be killed unless the owner refuses to take action to prevent the creature chasing game. Dogs without collars may be killed at any time, however. All sportsmen are asked to co- operate with officers of the Game Commission in this program of dog control as it is a very important one—that means not only the saving of a lot of game, but the preventing of the killing, in some instances, of many valuable dogs, The Game Commission has always been willing to meet the owners more than half ways in matters of kind and will continue to do so pro- viding the proper spirit is est- ed onthe part of those owning dogs, sfficials said. PORTABLE CAR POLISHER SPEEDS GARAGE WORK Electric power instead of “elbow " works a new car polisher made in Cincinnati, Ohio. A motor at its working end drives the buffer or polisher through angle gears. An slectric cord, one end of which is plugged into a light socket, fur- nishes current to run this new tool, «hich is controlled easily by means 5f a switch conveniently located in ‘he handle. Aluminum is used for the motor -asing and gear cover at the end, making it light and handy. It is said to have proved a convenience around garages or wherever there is nuch polishing done, saving a great jeal of time and labor in putting 1 shine on motor cars or bright netal fittings, It's particular virtue § said to lie in the fact that it is 0 light it can be carried easily from lace to place and operated from ny electric current socket. The notor of the polisher will operate )n either alternating or direct cur: ‘ent. FIXED SUMS ARE PAID FOR INFECTED COWS The amouat of indemnity paid to owners when cattle react to the tu- ent e of animal industry, Pennsylvania plained ina statement answering the question why the maximum amount of indemnity for every reactor. The law fixes the maximum indem- nity that can be paid by the Com- be paid the limit for every reactor regardless of the actual value. This is incorrect. Under the law, an own- er cannot receive more than 90 per cent. of the appraised value of each reactor from all three sources—that is, the Federal government, the State government and the butcher. the Federal government cannot pay more than one-third of the differ- ence between the market value and salvage. The procedure for owners to fol- low is this: After the reacting cattle have been appraised on the premises, the owner should immediately ar- range to sell them to a responsible butcher or consign them to a com- mission firm at the Pittsburg or Lan- caster stock yards. It is desirable to sell the reactors on foot subject to post mortem inspection. The advan- tage of consigning reactors to a pub- lic stock yard to be sold subject to inspection, is that the commission firm represents the owner and grades the cattle so that the maximum sal- vage is received for each reactor. After the owner has arranged sat- isfactory sale, the reactors are per- mitted to be moved from the farm to public stock yards or approved slaughtering establishment by an agent of the bureau of animal in- dustry. Each reactor is required to be slaughtered under the official supervision in accordance with the Federal and State meat inspection regulations. CERTAIN SCHOOL BONDS ARE EXEMPT FROM TAX. All school district bonds purchased by the State Teacher's Retirement Fund, the State Empinyees’s Retire- ment Fund and the Workmen's In- surance Fund are exempt from the four mills Pennsylvania Loans Tax. “Some of the treasurers of the SP school districts not aware of this fact have paid the tax on indebted- ness owned by such funds. I wish you would advise the treasurers of school districts that it takes only a two-cent stamp and a letter recit- ing such ownership sworn to before a Notary Public or a Justice of the Peace to get such exemption, “Moreover, I wish you would advise school district treasurers that the Department of Revenue has within the past week instituted the practice of itself deducting from loans reported in the Loans Reports this | .1] such bonds or record in all of these various funds. The Department of Revenue does not desire a dollar of income that under the law is not due the Commonwealth just as it is the Department's desire to collect in full all money due the Common- wealth under the laws.” WELL-KNOWN FIRMS It was Sunday morning in a men's class in a famous Presbyterian church school. “Will you please tell me,” said a member to the teacher, “how far in actual miles Dan is from Beersheba? All my life I have heard the familiar phrase ‘from Dan to Beersheba,’ but I have never known the distance.” Before the answer could by given, another member arose in the back of the room, and inquired: “Do I understand that Dan and Beersheba are the names of places?” “Yes.” “That is one on me. I alwa thought they were husband and wife, like Sodom and Gomorrah.” “Gracious,” said the doctor, “how did you get these awful bruises on your shins. Are you a hockey play- er? “Oh, no; I just led back my wife’s weak suit.” AUDITORS’ STATEMENT OF CENTRE COUNTY—Continued INTEREST UNSEATED STORE TWP. oeereereemer Yay os on WATER UNSEATED MITE TWD. cusimrsimmrsma sissies srssee $7.58 ......} | $7.55 LIGHT UNSEATED enn eT vedmermamren—a TIRE $ .90 $ 8 $ Bl uu en Tap ores | SM 8 RY 3 BY gay $1.91] $1.60 - $.09] $8.22 /TATEMENT OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF CENTRE COUNTY IN 1930 LIABILITIES Jutstanding Bonds at 4 CENL ress jal. due .

They came to join Anne Harris’ father, Colonel James Duntop, who two by rich iron deposits and purposed building an iron furnace along Spring Chegh. He built the first house in 1793. Anne Harris’ mind was one that was enthusiastic in building an ideal home in the wilderness, in helping to found a town and in writing a book on metaphysics. She was born at Skippensburg, March 14, 1765. In June 15, 1790 she married James Harries, son of Judge John Harris, Revolutionary patriot, member of the Provincial Conference 1776, of the Constitutional Convention, 1776, and of the Penn- sylvania Convention to ratify the Constitution the United States. James Harris a surveyor. The site Anne and James Harris selected for their home was at a beautiful spot on rising ground. The house, | still standing, was built of native limestone, with a Colonial pillared porch in front. The estate was christened ‘“Marlbrook,” by Anne Harris. Colonel Dunlop and James Harris laid out the town, and desiring a suitable name for it, consu'ted the fertile brain of Anne. There is a legend in the family that Prince Talleyrand, pas sing through the forests of Pennsylvania, visited at Marlbrook and Mrs. Har- ris asked him to assist her in choos- ing a name. Standing before the Big Spring he said, “Call it for your ring.” Anne Harris took the idea and called it Bellefonte. Colonel Dunlop and James Harris gave to the town lots for an acade- my, & courthouse and a Presbyterian church. They also gave lots to be sold, the money to be used for the buildings. They were built in the classical style of architecture and created an atmosphere of culture 1 Dp ST Be i ra ne of BE oo a IN DANGER DYING OUT A of like the paws of dogs used to hard ER OF ‘Bernard Pass, and seek travelers in | sidewalks, the St. Bernards ve.

'LYNCHINGS DOUBLE, 1930 REPORT SHOWS The ninth annual honor roll, show- ing States free from lynching in 1930, was announced y by the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of churches of Christ in America. The record shows that lynchings took place within five States in 1929. The number of vici'ms was 21 in 1930, more than deuble the number the previous year. Of the 21 per-| sons lynched, one was white and 20 were negroes. Six States which have been on | the honor roll because free of lynch- ing in former years lost their rating in 1980. These were Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, free since 1921; Oklahoma, free since 1926, and Indiana, which had not a lynching since 1908. Kentucky and Tennessee, which lost their places on the roll in 1929, regained One son was a physician, one them by having no lynchings in 1930. “An analysis of the figures shows that last year's spread of the evil was similar to the reactions that book place in 1924 and 1926,” says e r A since 1922 has been toward a fewer number of victims in a smaller num- ber of States and a larger number of cases of lynching prevented of which there were 40 in 1930. “This indicates that vigor on the part of the officers of the law and an aroused public conscience can - make America a lynchless land. To free our territory from the sway of the mob is a most vital challenge to all adherents of the churches and to all patriotic citizens.” LARGEST RAILROAD SYSTEM The extent and scope of the Penn- sylvania Railroad in America’s na- tion-wide transportation system and the largest proportion of the total railroad service performed hi its lines is revealed in figures eased today covering the larger railroads of the country. The figures show that with ap- proximately 10 per cent of the Na- tion's mileage. the Pennsylvania performs 20 per cent of the country’s rs service and 11 per cent of its freight service. It employs 11 per cent of the rail- road workers of America and earns almost 12 per cent of the total oper- |ating revenues of all Class 1 rail- ways. It owns 14 per cent of the r cars and 12 per cent of the freight cars. Its locomotives represent over 10 per cent of the | total railway engines in use in the United States with a total tractive power approximately 12 per cent of that available on all the railways of the country. The Pennsylvania's investment in road and equipment also resents more than 10 cent of total railway pro y investment of the ' country. “The general trend Your market’s in easy reach by TELEPHONE.
