We Ike TO hear q man refuse to take MS
home paper, and all the time sponge on his
Ec!ghbOr for the reading OF It. We Ike to
hear a man complain when asked 60 sub
scribe for his home paper that h takes more
papers than lie reads now, and then go
around the corner and borrow his neigh
boris. or leaf around till he gathers in all
the news from It. We like 10 see a man run
down his home paper Rs not worth taking.
and every now and then beg the editor for
a favor Ia the editorial line. We like TO see
a mechanic or merchant refuse to advertise
In bis home paper, and then try to get a
share OF the trade which the newspaper
brings to town. We like to see these
things. 1t looks very economical, thrifty,
progressive. and-cheeky.
A dispatch from Harrisburg report
that the old fence law of 100 has been re-
pealed. This action was made necessary
by the changed methods of fencing. The
act of 100 required that all corn-fields and
grounds kept for Enclosures should be well
fenced with fence at five feet high, of suffi-
cient rails or logs, and close at the bottom"
II has been @ dead letter for years, particu.
larly since wire fences have been introduced.
In 1929 an act was passed declaring sufli-
cient fence four and a half feet high. and
having an opening at the bottom no greater
than eight inches, but this was repealed as
to coIn.y after county until the repeal ex-
tended to all the counties except Mexican,
as constituted In 1881. There has been
much other local legislation in relation to
fences. but the act Of 100 remained undIs>
turbed for $50 years II now becomes the
