JULY 27. 1929 FOX (ETH YE Wagner Gaining Support In All Parts of County Local Man Being Actively Supported | By All Opponents of Fine-Nicholsen Group in Republican Party G. Harold Wagner, candidate for Prothonotary from this, our Sixth dis- trict, is gaining strength in all parts o fthe county. In the southern end of the county. In the southern end ways been strong. Mr. Wagner has this last week been spending a lot of time in his opponent's territory— Hazleton. There he was very en- thusiastically received. Hazleton is not entirely foreign in population and the real American people in Hazleton as well as the other ends of the county want an American in the office of prothonotary. Wagner is an enthusi- astic, red-blooded American. He is entirely conversant with affairs in the court house and has received the most hearty support of American Legion Posts of the county. It has been claimed in some sections that Mr. Wagner does not have the support of the Republican party. That is not the truth. Mr. Wagner does not have the support of all the Nichol- son-Fine faction, but he does have the support of the two other wings as well as a large portion of so-called Fine- Nicholson following. Mr. Wagner gains a tremendous support in Plymouth. He has a legion of personal friends in Plymouth and in addition a very strong group which resents some of the MUSSOLINI tac- tics of the Fine-Nicholson group. It is true that Wagner has served his county for several years. But it is equally true that his positions and work have consisted of real genuine service and not just plums. There is not a citizen who would venture the statement other than that he has faithfully performed his duties. Re- cently he has been employed by the State of Pennsylvania with four depu- ties for the appraisal of inheritance taxes.” In this position he has ren- dered valuable service, both to the State and to the citizens of Luzerne county. Through his speedy dispatch of appraisals he has saved the in- heritance taxpayers thousands of dol- lars of expenses. Such service merits recognition. Wagner has received plenty of it from the Auditor General of the State. ‘Mr. Wagner has been and is one of the most loyal workers in the Republi- can party. His candidacy for Pro- thonotary is not a matter of political ambition. The office carries a tremen- dous responsibility. There are four- teen employees in this office. The re- muneration does not begin to compare with added responsibility. His can- didacy can better be termed as repre- senting thereally loyal group of the party which aims to keep the party as the voice of party voters rather than the petty wishes of two or three who have a tendency to become drunk with power. Wagner's candidacy is most timely. Support him actively and stand four-square in an alliance to demand those activities in the Re- publican party which are strictly Atmerican. Above all, place an Ameri- can in the position of Prothonotary. BOROUGH AUDIT WILL BE OUT SOON Dallas taxpayers are very anxiously awaiting the long overdue audits of both the borough and school finances. The auditors have a mountainous task before them because they have not submitted audits of anything for the years 1926, 1927 or 1928. The borough council wants the audit, the school board wants it, the auditors them- selves want it out of the way, and most certainly the taxpayers wont and are entitled to know how their nwoney is being spent. Every citizen know the financial condition of botn its borough and school. If the tax- payers can be patient a little longer they believe, have completed very should the auditors will, the the six audits soon. (ICE CREAM TRUCKS CAUSE DEER DEATHS Harrisburg, July 27—Salt thrown from trucks carrying ice cream is proving a menace to the deer in some sections of the State, accord- ing to reports reaching the State Commission. An investigation after spot in the Pocono mountains re- vealed that the driver of a truck loaded with ice cream had dumped salt along the road. Drivers of the trucks ware being asked by game protectors to dis- pose of the salt at places where deer will not be attracted by it to the road. 7 Dry Weather Felt By Most Crops of State Drought Continues With Little Hope For Heavy Rainfall in the Near Future A few heavy local rains during the week, t the srainfall at ‘most places was vgry Light and some localities re- ceived one. Heavy general rains are badly needed as the drought is doing considerable damage in a large portion of the State. A destructive hailstorm covered a large portion of Juniata county. The temperatures were mostly below the normal with near frost con- ditions at several places on the morn- ing of the 16th. Conditions on the whole were favorable for field work. and were excellent for haying and oats harvest, and good progress was made. Corn is tasseling rapidly in the central and southern counties, and has not shown much effects of the drought. It seems generally to be about an aver- age crop. Wheat threshing is getting well under way, and many of our correspondents report that yields are disappointing. The grain heads are gen- erally large, but it seems that in 'many places they are not well filled and the yields are only fair. In some sections the yields are above the average. Some fields are so short in straw that the grain cannot be cut with a binder, and must be handled with a mower and rake. The crop as a whole is considerably below the average. Pastures and meadows are needing rain in nearly all parts of the State, and are turning brown in some sections. The second ‘cutting of alfalfa has suffered least. from the drought and is generally fair to good. Potatoes are mostly good but needing rain. The beetles continue to be numerous and general spraying is necessary for their control. Blight has appeared in several regionsf and seems to be spreading rapidly. The early potatoes are generally yielding well and of good quality. Truck crops are fair to good. The Mexican bean beetle has appeared in many places and is doing considerable damage. Orchard fruits, especially apples, continue dropping from the trees and the gen- eral outlook is for light returns. TANNERY AT NOXEN ON FULL TIME SCHEDULE The plant of the J. K. Mosser Tan- ning Company at Noxen will soon be working on a full time schedule” with finished sole leather ud ed out at capacity production. Although the tannery has been work- ing on a good schedule during the summer months, production is now being increased. New ‘shipments of hides are being received daily and placed in the vats. It will take some time before the plant will be working at full capacity because it takes sev- eral months for the hides to run through the plant and increased work in each department is a progressive affair. rere (ree BABY CLINIC TO OPEN After a long} vacation the Dallas Baby Clinic will be reopened on Thursday, August 1, at 1:30 p. m,, in the Dallas M.

Tommy Reese will hold down the centerfield position. Add to this list several of the local boys who have been playing good ball with the Inde- pendents and a winning outfit will represent Dallas on the field this Sun- day.

Noxen, which contains valuable deposits of clay, it is expected that Noxen will soon have a new $100,000 industry em- ploying from Hi pes hundred men. Consummaitio of negotiations was made this week after surveys had been run and drill holes run down in the clay beds. The purchase was made by Max Dattner and associates of Wilkes- Barre.

The plot com- prises some twenty acres. Drill holes put down sometime ago reveal a depth of clay running from twenty to sixty feet. : The clay is excellent for commercial brick, tile and other clay products and 3 located comparatively close to switches of the Lehigh Valley Rail- road.

The purchase price of the plot has not been made public, although it is known that a number of manufac- turers and companies have been inter- ested in the deposi®s and have had their engineers and representatives on the ground to examine the clay and the extent of the deposit.

Eynon is to the effect that Pennsylvania cities and boroughs continue to take advan- tage of the ruling permitting them to establish “Thru Highways" before entering which all vehicles must come to a complete stop. “It is the modern way of handling traffic - at intersections,” said Mr. Eynon. “It not only enforces safety but it conserves the resources of ‘motor car owners. Compulsory stops, enforced, though no traffic approaches on the cross streets, cause a loss of many .dollars an- nually to those whose motors idle during unnecessary scores of minutes daily." “JUST ACROSS THE BRIDGE INN At Trucksville, Pa.

Harold Wagner for Prothonotary. The reason for this stand appeared in last week's editorial. It is generally known that Mr. Wagner has a financial in-~ terest in the Post, and because of his ‘political activity usually writes the Post's political news. During the campaign, however, Mr. Wagner will be relieved of this comment by the directors. The political news items and editorials appearing in the Post for the next few weeks will be under the supervision of the other members of the staff. L. A. MCHENRY, President Board of Directors.
