CHICKEN THIEVES
CAUGHT AT PENBROOK
Evidence Against Pair Found
When Man Steps on
Rooster's Neck
Special to The Telegraph
Penbrook, Pa., March 16.—1n the
tirrest of David Lyter, well known
here, and William Jatcher, of Harris
burg:, residents of Penbrook believe
that they have locked up the men who
are responsible for the theft of more
than seven hundred chickens from
owners in this vicinity—stolen during
the past six months.
Lyter and Jatcher were arrested by
Constable Brenneman after a warrant
had been sworn out by J. W. McGar
vey, shortly after 11 o'clock on Sat
urday evening. They were arrested
after midnight, wero handcuffed and
were taken to the county jail. They
will be given a hearing nt 7:30 o'clock
to-night before Squire McGarvey.
Had Lyter not stepped on the neck
of one of the stolen roosters the cou
ple might have been able to delay ar
rest. But when the handcuffs were
being slipped on Lyter's wrists he
dropped a large bag, carried under his
arm, and desiring to stop the opening
■with his foot he placed it directly on
a rooster's neck. The rooster resented
the Indignity and immediately gave
vent to a loud squawk.
The pair had raided the coop of A.
E. Enders, a prominent trucker and,
florist of this town. Mr. Enders re
turned from market about 10:30
o'clock and was informed by his *
daughters that they had heard noisesj
about the coops. Shortly after this
Enders heard the same noise, and |
taking his shotgun he arrived in time j
to see the pair leaving the yard. He
followed for a quarter of a mile and
Baw them go into Lyter's stable.
Leaving them there he started for
McGarvey's office. On the way he met
B. F. Strickler, whom he induced to
keep watch to see that ihey remained
there. On their return they broke in
and saw a large crate which was
closed, but were not able to see any
of the chickens until Lyter dropped
the bag. The crate was to have been
used to ship the chickens away.
AN OVERBURDENED WIFE
If the work that women do and
the pains they suffer could be measur
ed In figures, what a terrible array
they would present! Through girl-|

woman toils on, often suffering with
bachache, pains in side, headaches
and nervousness which are tell-tale
symptoms of organic derangements
which Lydla E. Pinkham'fc Vegetable

KEEP THE ROOFING BUSI
NESS IN YOUR OWN
HOME TOWN.
By George M. Brown, President,
General Rooflng Mfg. Company
You ere sometimes offered mall
order roofings for your buildings
at prices so attractive that you
can't see how you could possibly
lose.
Sometimes the words "bank
rupt!" "busted!" etc., are used
to give a reason for such prices.
Stop to consider that Arms who
build roofing right and tvlio. deal
squarely with their customers
don't go "bankrupt" or "busted."
In buying mail order roofing
you are taking a chance on a
product you don't know and buy
ing from someone whom you
never saw. It's a tax upon your
town and upon yourself and your
family when you give your roof
ing custom to mall order houses?
In our three big mills we have
worked out scientifically the way
of producing the best rooflng.
And we have worked out the
way of selling this rooflng to put
the least possible tax upon the
user who buys it by giving him
the most for his money and th«
least possible tax upon the dealer
by giving him a product that Is
well known, well advertised and
easily sold.
Certaln-terd Rooflng has never
been and never will be sold
through mall prder houses. It is
sold through your rooflng dealer
whom you know.
Cerlaln-tced Rooflng has never
been sold by "bankrupt" or
"busted" methods. Our methods
have been "progressive" and the
result has been "prosperity."
Every dealer from whom you
buy Certain-teed Hoofing makes
a fair, modest profit on his
sale to you. But most Important
of all, you get more for your
money than you .have ever been
able to get before.
Don't buy bargain rooflng at
"busted" and "bankrupt" prices.
Keep the rooflng business In your
own home town. Buy of your lo
cal dealer Certain-teed Rooflng,
the rooflng which both you and
your dealer know will give the
best and most permanent pro
tection to your buildings.
The three biggest roofing mills in
the world are behind our 15-year
guarantee. This guarantee pro
tects you when you buy the best
protection for your buildings.
Whether it's a big building or a
small one, whether for business,
industry or residence —roof it with
Certain-teed
There are roofing# priced lower than
Certain-teed. Your saving, however,
is but a few dollars at the most.
Certain-teed is always least expensive
in the end. Sold by dealers at a reason
able price.
