The jury to assess right-of way dam-
ages on Col. Taylor's farm at Old Fort,
viewed the ground on Thursday last,
and then proceeded to Centre Hall,
where testimony was heard for and
against. The jury awarded $485 for
damages. The award should have been
much less, considering the value the
railroad adds to a farm situated so near
a town, but Mr. Taylor's attorney, Mr.
Kephart, pleading so earnestly for bis
client, may have caused the award to be
$200 greater than the crumb would
otherwise have been. The bondsmen
here, not the railroad company, pay it.

Census of a Vacant Lot.
In a little town in Niinols George N.
Wolcott conducted an Investigation to
find out how many animals—or, rather,
forms of animal life—inhabited an
acre of city land, says Popular Science
Monthly. The count in a eity lot, ob-
tained by multiplying the contents of
n bucketful by the figures required for
an acre, disclosed the fact that there
were between 2,000,000 and 2,500,000 of
grasshoppers, locusts, crickets, cock.
roaches, earwigs, lantern flies, plant
lice, aphids and other “bugs” in one

riation In the count according to the

ses in the State urging their snpport in
enforcing ordinances or regulations re-
stricting the common sale and use of
fireworks and pyrotechuic display, He
points out the menace and dangers pre-
vailing in firework celebrations, which
in 1918 was responsible for several bun-
dred thousands of dollars property loss,
and hundreds of persons killed or
maimed,
Marshal Butz observes that he is fully
mindful of the fact that the Fourth of
July is a day inspiring to the hearts of
all Americans, greater this year than
ever before, but being equally cognizant
of the unfortunate fatalities and destruc-
tion that have been so appalling in pre-
vious years, he calls upon the municipal
authorities and cooperation of all cit-
izens to observe the Fourth of July, and
other patriotic occasions, in safe and
sane manner as an important conservsa-
tion measure, notwithstanding eliminat-
ing the possibility of evily disposed per-
to further the commission of overt acts,
Marshal Butz emphatically discour-
ages the indiscriminate sale and use of
fire works, and suggests a community
display under municipal control, or some
responsible organization, where senti-
ment favors ** a noisy Fourth.”

Let Us Know When He Comes from
War.
The soldiers are now coming home so
rapidly that we are unable to learr of
their return thrpugh the ordinary chan-
nels. Will parents kindly call us on the
phone, or send us a card or letter if a
telephone is not handy, when their sol-
dier son gets back, giving company and
regiment, time of service and the bat-
tels, if any, he participated in?
All through the war we have endeav-
ored to give all the news concerning the
soldiers from this section. Now we
would like to note when they get back
and publish the unusual things that
happened to them while 1n service,

Jail Prisoner Attempts Suicide.
John Heimbach, charged with a sum-
ber of petty offenses and placed in the
Lewisburg jail to await his trial by
court, attempted suicide on Sunday by
hanging.

clothes found in his cell and was in a
bad shape when discovered by persons
who took his dinner to him, They cut
him down and he apparently was none
the worse for his 8 experience.
Wheat,
Secretary of Agriculture, red Ras
mussen, reports that according to figures
complied by the Bureau of Statistics,
Pennsylvania Department ‘of Agricul-
ture, the condition of wheat 1s estimated
at 104+per cent. compared with a normal
or full crop condition. This is 3 per
cent better than one month ago and in-
dicates an approximate average yield of
21.3 bushels per acre. On this basis
considering the large acreage, the total
production will reach 33 474,000 bushels,
The crop will probably be above or be-
low these figures according as the
change in conditions from now until har-
vest is above or below the usual or aver-
age change in condition, The total pro-
duction last year was estimated at 206,-
024,000 bushels,
Like wheat rye is in splendid condi-
tion and indicates to3 per cent. of a nor-
mal crop. This is a gain of 3 per cent.
during the month of Apnl. According
to present outlook the yield will be 198
| bushels per acre and the total produc
tion 5.434.000 bushels, The production
last year was estimated at 4.676.500
bushels.
The outlook for hay on May the first
was 93 per cent, compared with a nor-
mal. It is forecasted that the yield will
approximate 1.45 tons per acre. No
figures available yet as to the acreage
that will be harvested. The acreage
yield last year was estimated at 1.33
tons per acre.
