Medal, Miss Anna Klaht Silver Medal
and John Coleman a Book.
The seventh annual Junior contest ot
the Reyiiolosvllla High School was
held in Assembly hall last evening.
There was a large audience present.
There were six contestants, and as Prof.
Pierce, one of the judges, who present
ed the prizes, stated on the platform,
the judges had no easy task to perform
In deciding to whom tbe three prizes
should be awarded, as all the contest
ants did excellent. Prof. Pierce com
plimented the contestants very highly
and also congratulated the citizens ot
Reynoldsvllle In having such a high
grade of school work to make It pos
sible to have such a worthy contest.
The names ot the contestants and their
subjects are as follows : "The Doom of
Claudius and Cynthia," L'awson Heed.
"The Wlggs' Theatre Party," Coe
Shaflnr. "The Story of Patsy," Anna
Klahr. "How Ruby Played," John

Oh, for a Street Sprinkler I
A street sprinkler Is one of the needs
of Reynoldsvllle. The annoyance that
our merchant have already experienced
this year with dust from the street
flying Into their stores has boon suffi
cient to convince alt that a street
sprinkler Is badly needed. True, a
number of tbe business houses use tbe
hose to sprinkle In front of their busi
ness places, but that is not satisfactory
because they don't all use hose and the
dust from street In front of a neighbor,
who does not use hose, may be caught
up In the breeze and be carried Into the
the store and eyes of the man who
sprinkled In front of bis place of busi
ness. A street sprinkler may cost more
than a Btreet hose, but the merchants
will save more in not having goods
damaged by dust than the sprinkler
will cost during the summer, and the
customers wltl not enter the stores with
their eyes full ot dust. By all means
put on a street sprlnklor.
Good Promotion,

son of Mr. and Mrs. John McGinness, of

promotion, but Mr. McGlnness is a
hustler and as an appreciation of his
work, the Metropolitan Company is
promoting him to the front ranks as
fast as possible. Mr. and Mrs. McGln
ness and son, Blake, spent Sunday with
the former's parents, returning to OH

PAIR WARNING TO ALL.
Burgess Simmons Will Strictly Enforce
Ordinance No. 58 Not a Bluff.
Among tho ordinances of this borough
U one prohibiting the throwing of waste
paper, rags, poolings, skins, hulls and
shells ot any kind on the sidewalks or
stroets or alleys, which has not boen
enforced, and consequently people have
been cnrolcss about such things and
sometimes the appearance of Main
street Is a discredit to the town. Else
whore in this Issue of THE 8TAR will
be found a notice from Burgess L. M.
Simmons which should be heeded by all
our citizens, as It is the Intention of
tho burgess to have this ordinance
strictly enforced, regardless of whom
the persons may be men, women, boys
or girls who disobey tho ordinance.
hen a tow arrests have been made
and the persons arrested pay a fine of
from H.00 to $10.00, then people will
begin to realize that Burgess Simmons
Is not muklng a "blulT" about enforcing
this ordinance. The person who throws
banana peelings or peanut shells on the
street or side walk, or tears a wrapper
off a nuwxpupcr und throws the wrapper
on tho street, Is liable to be arrested,
No doubt thoao who will be compelled
to puy fines for breaking this ordinance
will think It Is a strict law, but tbe ob
ject of the law is to keep our streets
elenn, and a strict enforcement of the
urdlnancj will be tho only way to make
people more careful about throwing
things on the streets. The ordinance
was paused when the Village Improve
ment Society wus active and had pro
vided large sheet iron cans at various
places along the streets for waste paper,
poolings, hulls, tea.

ally known that thore Is a heavy pen'
atty for starting forest fires. In some
Instances such fires are started just to
see the blaze creep along In tbe woods
and In other cases It Is through careless'
nog on the part of some one that fires
are started. A man who is Interested
In foreutry and tries to save a young
timber tract has little encouragement
to do so because he expects every year
that some person will start a fire that
will destroy hie trues. Tbe question
that Is agitating the farmers of this
suction Is how can tbey protect their
small groves from, forest fi res ? If some
guilty person was given the full benefit
of the law for starting fires it might
possibly help solve the problem.
