KAUFFMAN KELLER OFFERS $1,000 AND THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS $500 FOR INFORMATION Rewards totaling $1,500 were offi- cially offered Friday morning for in- formation which will lead to the ar- rest and conviction of the person or persons who murdered Zachariah W. Keller, a local resident, on the night of June 23. One thousand dollars was placed in the hands of Chief Burgess John A. Bachman, of this place by Mr. Kauffman T. Keller, of Detriot, a son of the murdered man, and the additional $500 was offered by the County Commissioners. The check for $1,000 was deposited in the Union National Bank here. In announcing the offering of the reward, Burgess Bachman said: “There is a man-killer loose in our midst and the community must be rid of the menace. There has been a horrible murder committed and we are determined that the guilty person or persons shall be brought to the bar of justice and pay the pezalty. “The offering of the reward is also a matter of civie pride, for the fact that a murderer is at large is a blot on the community unless we do all in our power to bring the guilty one to justice.” In the meantime the forces of the state and county are putting forth ef- forts to obtain some clue to one of the most mysterious murders in the county’s criminal history. Up to the present time, however, not a single clue has been obtained which might lead to the arrest of the guilty per- son or persons or throw licht on the motive for the brutal slaying. rs eet me 1923. AUTO TAGS WILL x BE BLUE AND GOLD COLORS " The colar scheme for 1923 automo- bile license tags will be blue and gold. Although it is not generally known, it is true that many of these tags, if not all, are made in the prisons of the country by the inmates. The work manship on them is entirely satis- factory and with the proper materials and correct application of the paint these tags will be found to be as ser- viceable as could be devised. Because of the kind of paints or enamel used many of the plates are found to chip and become rusty. el A Mrs LANDISVILLE AND SA.

STATE PLANS T0 MARK HIGHWAY MARYLAND LINE TO LANCASTER AND HARRISBURG ROAD TO LANCASTER AMONG THOSE DESIGNATED The State Highway Department, within a few days, will begin the dis- tinctive marking of certain routes on Pennsylvania main highways, where- by color bands guish these routes from beginning to end. The first trans-Pennsylvania route marked will be that connecting Phila- Harry S. delphia and the New York state line south of Binghamton via Easton, Stroudsburg, the Poconos and Seran- ton. this route will be blue. In this route marking three colors will be used—blue, red and yellow. The blue routes will cross the state from north to south; the red routes from east to west, and the yellow routes diagonally. way Department now whitewashes to a height of six feet, the poles on all highway routes. The new markings will be 12 inches in depth and will be nlaced only at crossroads, so that travelers will not turn from the main highways. On those poles marked with the color band the white wash will be only five feet in height, the color band making up the balance of the six feet. A list of the various routes to be marked, with the colors to be used, in- cludes: Blue Routes Maryland line to Lancaster, Read- ing, Pottsville, Hazelton, Wilkes- Barre, Scranton. Maryland line to York, Harrisburg, Sunbury, Williamsport, Mansfield, New York line. Maryland line to Chambersburg, Carlisle and Harrisburg. The markings through Mmunicipali- ties will be cared for by the motor clubs and the Pennsylvania Motor Federation. At road intersections the pole markings will be found on the far side of the intersecting hich- ways, on the proper side for traffic. WHAT STATE MAY GET FROM PLAN A FEDERAL DEBENTURE BANK, FURNISHED WITH OVER $1,700,000 CAPITAL, TO LOAN TO FARMERS An epoch in the agriculture of the State of Pennsylvania may begin, should Congress enact into law the bill recently presented. The bill was presented, at the request of the United States Senate farm committee on rural credits. These Senators requested Herbert Myrick .to draft “a comprehensive system of rural credits, safe and sound, practical and elastic, dealing adequately with all regions under their varying conditions.” The com- mittee instructed him to embody in his draft ‘any and all points in the existing rural credits bills already in- troduced in Congress which he con- sidered essential, adding thereto or working in therewith such new feat- ures as his experience and judgment justify.” May Be Enacted Soon Complying with such mandate, the author's carefully prepared plan may be favorably received by the varied interests of the State of Pennsylvania, (Continued on Page 5) AA Adjudications Filed" The following adjudications were handed down by Judge Eugene C.

In the issue of July 5th I read that Harry H. Engle, of Rheems, has corn hard to equal. I think I can beat it. I don’t have thirty acres, but do have about one and one-fourth acres. It is seven and eight feet high. This seed is called the Lancaster County sure crop. I brought the seed corn grown on Henry N. Hostetter’s farm, on the Mount Joy and Marietta pike. You see we have good land in upper Dau- phin County which is called Lykens Valley. We are 36 miles North of Harrisburg and 7 miles East from Lykens, where the coal miners are. I left Lancaster County 36 years ago. There I was employed by L. R. Nissley at the Marietta mill which he owns. Our soil is not as rich as your soil in general. We have red shell soil where you have limestone soil. Here the farmer can plow as much in two days as the farmers in your section can in three days as the soil is not so heavy. J. K. Bertsfield.
