Penitentiary Offense.

1t would seem by the frequent occur
renee Of forest fires that IL Is not gener-
ally known that there is heavy PEN
atty for starting forest fires. In some
instances such fires are started just to
see the blaze creep along in the woods
and in other cases it is through careless
ness on the part OF some one that fires
are started A man who is interested
In forestry and tries to save young
timber tract has little encouragement
to do so because he expects every year
that some person will start fire that
will destroy his trees. The question
that is agitating the farmers Of this
section is how can they protect their
small groves from, forest fires? ? II some
guilty person was given the full benefit
Of the law for starting fires II might
possibly help solve tho problem.

oh, for a Street Sprinkler I

A street sprinkler Is one Of the needs
of Reynoldsville. The annoyance that
our merchants have already experienced
this year with dust from the street
flying into their stores has been suffi-
cient to convince all that street
sprinkler is badly needed. True, a
number OF the business houses use the
hose to sprinkle in front OF their busi-
ness places, but that is not satisfactory
because they don't all use hose and the
dust from street In front of neighbor,
who does not use hose, may be caught
up In the breeze and be carried into the
the store and eyes of the man who
sprinkled In front OF his place Of busi-
ness. A street sprinkler may cost more
than street hose, but the merchants
will save more In not having goods
damaged by dust than the sprinkler
will cost during the summer, and the
customers will not enter the stores with
their eyes full OF dust. BY all means
put on street sprinkler.

1t was mentioned in this paper several
weeks ago that NJ. Nj. Fisher had bought
the lots on Grant street that had been
used for lawn tennis courts and that he
would erect four dwelling houses on the

the lawn tennis players to get a new
court. They have secured DR.. John II.

FAIR WARNING TO ALL.
Burgess Simmons viii Strictly Enforce
Ordinance No. 56-Not q Bluff.

Burgess Simmons viii Strictly Enforce
Ordinance No. 56-Not Bluff.
Among the ordinances OF this borough
Is one prohibiting the throwing OF waste
paper, rags, peelings, skins, hulls and
shells OF any kind on the sidewalks or
streets or alleys, which has not been
enforced, and consequently people have
been careless about such things aud
sometimes the appearance Of Main
street Is discredlt TO the town. Else
where In this issue OF THE STAR will
be found a notice from Burgess L. M.
Simmons which should be needed by all
our citizens, as 1t is the intention of
the burgess to have this ordinance
strictly enforced, regardless of whom
the persons may be--men, women, boys
or girls-who disobey the ordinance.
When few arrests have been made
and the persons arrested pay fine OF
from $l.00 to $1,000, then people will
begin to realize that Burgess Simmons
is not making "blufn about enforcing
this ordinance. The person who throws
banana peelings or peanut shells on the
street or side walk, or tears wrapper
of newspaper and throws the wrapper
on the street, is liable to be arrested.
No doubt those who will be compelled
to pay fines for breaking this ordinance
will think 1t is strict law, but the OBJ
ject of the law is to keep our streets
clean, and strict enforcement of the
ordinance will be the only way to make
people more careful about throwing
things on the streets. The ordinance
was passed when the Village Improve
ment Society was active and had pro-
vided large sheet iron cans at various
places along the streets for waste paper,
peelings, hulls, &c.
