BUILD YOUR HOME THIS YEAR
AND HELP RESTORE PROSPERITY
It Can be Constructed at Less
Cost Than for Many
Years Past,
AND BY GIVING EMPLOYMENT
To Men Temporarily Laid Off by
the Industrial Concerns You do
a Philanthropical Act as Well
as Ameliorate Conditions.
The Warren Mirror 1b of the opin
ion that the present Is a good time to
build. It says: "Persons who are
contemplating building new houseti
and have the means to do so, should
not put off their projects because
times are dull now. The present de
pression Is not going to last long and
there are two very good reasons why
it Is wise to build now. In the first
place materials are cheaper than they
have been for a number of years or
are likely to be when times got better.
In the second place labor Is plentiful
and cheaper and the man who gives
employment to the enforced idle meu
is doing a public spirited act, which
will be fully appreciated. A prominent
builder is authority for the statement
that one can build now for 10 per cent
less than a year ago, and If this is true,
our advice to prospective builders is,
build. The man who keeps his fellows
employed and their families maintained
Is the true philanthropist. He la not
dispensing charity, but is putting what
he has of wealth at the disposal of the
men who need his investment to keep
them busy. The man who regularly
employs hU fellows is a better philan-
thropist than is he who gives his
dollars to benevolence and endows
colleges and libraries."

WORK ON THE
ENON CUTOFF
HAS RESUMED
Engineers are working from Enon, on
the Ft. Wayne system to a point along
the Buffalo & Allegheny Valley di
vision near Brady's Bund. This Is said
to be the final survey for the projected
low grado freight line, which will
enable the Pennsy to keep practically
all of the through freight out of the
Pittsburg district.
This line was projected about two
years ago, when a company was organ
ized with E. B. Taylor, third vloe-pres-Idont
of the Pennsylvania lines west, as
president. The plans called for a new
line connecting the Fort Wayne di
vision with the Allegheny Valley road,
all through shipments to be made over
the Philadelphia line direct to the east.
It was necessary to make a number of
changes In the original survey' and
when the final line was run It was de
cided to hold up all construction work
until business conditions improved.
Pittsburg Pout. When the Enon cutoff
is completed there will be a large In

New Brick Plant at
Clymcr Now Almost
Ready for Operation
G. W. Lenkerd is the Secretary
and General Manager of
the Company,
We received a copy of the Indiana
Evening Gazette of May 15 in which was
a column and a quarter write-up of the
new fire brick, plant at Clymer, Indiana
Co., of which G. W. Lenkerd, formerly
of this place, is manager. The Gazette
says:
"The various processes In the making
of the product, Including the grinding,
screening and mixing of the clay, and
the forming, pressing, drying and burn
ing of the bricks are all provided for by
the employment of machinery of the
most approved pattern and methods
which are calculated for the conserva
tion of power and of time. The com
pleteness of those arrangements cannot
be appreciated without a visit to and an
inspection of the plant."
The clay vein varies from 20 to 23 feet
In thickness and the' supply at presont
controlled by the Clymer Brick & Fire
Clay Company is thought to be sufficient
to employ the plant for 100 years. The
officers of the company are:
John S. Fisher, Pres.; Henry Hall,
vice president; G. W. Lenkerd, secre
tary; R. M. Wilson, treasurer; direc
tors, W. D. Kelly, of Philadelphia; T.
L. Snyder, of Clearfled; H. A. Kratzer,
of Clearfield, H. N. Widdowson, of
Mahaffey, and Thomas Bellls, of Al-toona.

PUNXS'Y DESIRES CHANGE IN
PLACE OF HOLDING INSTITUTE
THE OLD SOLDIERS
OBJECT TO SPORTS
ON MEMORIAL DAY
The Grand Army Post of Reynolds
ville adopted a resolution, which will
be found In another column of this Issue
of THE Staii, requesting that there be
no dancing or ball' playing on Decora
tion Day th Is year. The day is observed
in memory of the soldier dead and It Is
unbecoming a nation of patriotic people
to make It a day of sporting.
Miners Must Not Drink.
The H. C. Frlck Coke Company of
Pittsburg has Issued a series of new
rules for operating of their mines, and
one of the most significant features
of the new order of things Is the new
rule which provides for the dismissal of
a miner who becomos Intoxicated while
off duty and reports for work the fol
lowing day incapaclated for work.
The mere fact that be is off duty
when drinking, therefore, does not
save him. The company has also
notified all miners that it will not
knowingly employ miners who are
given to the habit of drinking liquor
on or off duty,
Valued Same as Gold.

OTHER PAPERS ALSO APPROVE
The Matter will Probably be Taken
Up at the Winter Session of the
Directors' Association and a Fair
Vote Secured.
The proposition to pass the Jeffer
son county teachers' annual Institute
around, so as to include Brookvllle,
Reynoldsville and Punxsutawney, al
ternately, which was embodied In a
resolution by Director J. H. Murray,
of Reynoldsville, and presented at the
recent directors' convention In Brook
vllle, and which culminated in great
disorder, Is not to be lightly passed
by if the Reynoldsville STAR can pre
vent it.
The Star offers prima facie evidence
that Reynoldsville was led to believe
that the Murray rsolution would be
given fair treatment and receive pow
erful support when presented to the
convention, but looking back upon
the proceedings of the convention, it
finds much to criticise concerning the
treatment the resolution received.
In Justice to The Star It must be
said that it has made out a good case
and unless those mentioned have evi
dence to contradict it, the reader of
the article in The Star will be bound
to form the conclusion that Rey
noldsville and the other eligible towns
In the county had been given the
double cross.
In the matter of convenience Rey
noldsville has several shades the best
of the argument, while as between
Brookvllle and Punxsutawney the
county seat is a back number.
