VOLUME 17. REYNOLDSVILLE, PENN'A., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1909. NUMBER 35. SHOULD REVOLUTIONIZE GLASS MANUFACTURING Culburn Machine Can Be Op erated at Remarkably 1 I ow Cost. INTERESTING COMPARISONS. Perhaps many of our citizens are not aware of the fact that the Col burn glass manufacturing machine, with which the Star Glass Company plant at ReynoldsviHe is being equipped, is tho cheapest and moat economical glass manufacturing machine that Is made today, and those who have seen the machine work are sanguine that It will be a complete success, and fill enable the Star Glass Company to manufacture good glass at less ex pense than any of its competitors, which will mean that the plant will run about forty-five weeks each year, make big dividends for the stock holders, and being an important In dustry in our town. A comparison of the cost of operating the Colburn machine with the cost of operating American Window Glass Cylinder ma chines, and cost of producing the same amount of glass by blowers at present scale of wages, shows a big saving of expenses in the production of glass by Colburn machine. Here 1b a com parison of cost of producing glass: Double Btrength glass, per box 60 square feet, Colburn 10 cents, American machine 60 cents, blowers 80 cents. Single strength porportlonatoly as cheap. This shows that the Colburn machine will produce a 50 sq. ft. box of double Btrength glass 40 cents cheaper than the American machine and 70 per box cheaper than with blowers, the old system under which the glass plant here was formerly oper- ated. Quite a saving on the cost of production. The normal consumption of window glass in the United States yearly, in cluding importation, is about 8,000,000 boxes, 60 sq. ft. each, and It is claimed that one Colburn machine will produce, operating forty-five weeks In a year, approximately 100,000 boxes, so that eighty machines would make all the glass the country demands. The plant will not employ as many men under the new system as' it did under the old system, with glass blow ers, but it will run almost'contlnuously and in the year will give average em ployment to about same number as the the plant did under the old system runtaing six or seven months each year, will put about eamo amount of money . in circulation as it did before, and will leave a snug dividend for the stock holders. Smith's Private Water System Sykesvifle Boniface Equips his Place with Complete Water Service. R. T. Smith, proprietor of Hotel Smith, has just oompleted a fine new water well, located on the hill near George Buhlte's.

In 1905 a law was passed providing that in addition to tho mllluge tax In townships or boroughs that 81.00 be assessed to evi;ry resident taxable, and this assessment is In the nature of a poll tax. J. M. Norris, who resides in Winslow township, and pays the additional dollar In that township, owns property in Henderson township and the assessor in Henderson township added the $1 00 to Mr. Norris' taxes in that township, and Mr. Norris paid the $1 00 a couple of times under pro test, but last year the case was taken to the county court and Judge John W. Reed gave the following decision in tbe case, which may be of Interest to assessors and taxpayers In other townships : "Every taxable against whom the sum of $1 00, in addition to the milloge tax, shall be assessed as provided in Section 2 of the Act of April 12th, 1905, P. L. 142, means every resident tax able. This $1 00 assessment is in the nature of a poll t lx and cannol be made against a non-resident of the township who may be the owner of real estate therein. This has baen repeatedly de cided and needs no further elaborations by me. See Indendence Township V Dods C. C. R. 461. In accordance with the case stated judgment is there fore entered for the defendant with costs." Sixteen Thousand Patches in Quilt Punxsutawney Lady Spends Many Years Working On The Article. Henry Moser, of this place, recently read in a local newspaper an account of a ReynoldsviHe woman who had com pleted work on a bed quilt that was made up of 3,042 pieces or patches. The writer of tbe article intimated that the object he was describing was a perfect "phenom" in-its line, and that It would probably capture the first prize at any quilt show or county fair In the country. Mr. Moser believes that he has a quilt that would put tbe bug all oyer the ReynoldsviHe dry goods in any kind df a contest. It is made of 128 rows of patches, and 128 patches in each row, a total of 16,304 patches, and over five times the number of patches in the ReynoldsviHe bed decoration. Mrs. Moser, who made the quilt began work on it when she was a young girl, and the quilt was not com pleted until several l years after her marriage to Mr. Moser. The quilt has been exhibited at several fairs, in cluding those held at Punxsutawney and Dayton, and it has never failed to draw down the blue ribbon. - Mrs. Moser has had some tempting offers for her quilt, but she has declined all of tbem with thanks. Punxsu tawney Spirit. Life 100,000 Years Ago. Scientists have found in a cave In Switzerland bones of . men who lived 100,000 years ago, when life was in con stant danger from wild beasts. To-day, the danger, as shown by A. W. Brown, of Alexander, Me., is largely from dead ly disease. "If it had not been for Dr. King's New Discovery, which cured me, I could not have lived," he writes, "suffering as I did from a severe lung trouble and stubborn cough." To cure sore lungs, oolds, obstinate coughs, and prevent pneumonia, its the best med lolne on earth. 60o and 11.00. Guaran teed by Stoke & Fetch t Drug Co. Trial bottle free. Tortured On a Horse.

Reed for Supreme Bench. Last week's Brookville Republican ! contained a strong endorsement of j Judge John W. Reed, of this county, as a Droner man to succeed Justice James T. Mitchell on the Supreme bench ol ' Pennsylvania. Judge Reed's ability as a lawyer, and his long ex perience and honorable career as a judge, eminently qualify him for pro motion to the highest legal tribunal of the state. The Republican says: "In bis judi "apaclty Judge Reed has been Idea.. Cool, calm and dis passionate, he has at all times pre served the best traditions of the bench and bar, bringing to tbe solving of tbe problems which have confronted him an analytical mind, a rare knowledge of the law, and above all a thorough justice which has known neither friend nor foe in his judical deter minations.' "His ability is not alone a matter of comment in his home district, but be bus been called to serve in a special capacity upon the bench of many of tbe counties of the Btate, and where ever he has appeared he has been pro nounced one of the ablest, most prompt and thoroughly competent judges of the state. In thirteen years of active experience upon the bench he has made a most enviable record In the matter of affirmations by tbe Superior and Supreme Courts of the state, bis judgments upon the legal points of a case being almost unanimously up held." THIS ! ESTATE BUSINESS $300,000 TROLLEY PROJECT Line Will Eventually Connect Clariun and Pittsburg, Via Butler. ARNOLDS ARE ITS PROMOTERS Last Monday night tbe council passed an ordinance granting to the Clarion and East Brady Electric Railway Com pany a franchise covering tbe streets of this borough for the use of that com pany. Tbe ordinance is so made that the compaLy must have their charter and to have started tbe work within two years and have cars in operation within six years. Tbe parties asking for the franchise are G. E. Arnold, F. M. Arnold and T. S. Arnold, all of this place. The line proposed is from this place to East Brady, via Sllgo and Rimersburg, a distance of 25 miles. At East Brady tbey will connect with the, line being built from Butler to that plane. ' At Butler they will connect with the line to Pittsburgh. This will give us a connection with Pittsburgh in 80 miles. We understand that the gentlemen have ample financial assist ance to make the road a success. The road will cost about $300,000. Of this (2.C00 for every mile of proposed road and ten per cent of the capital stock must be paid in before tbe charter Is granted. It would be wise for the townships and boroughs through which they will pass to aid this project as it will mean much to each community. Clarion Republican. High ScTiool . .
