driving in town. This is a timely
warning and the law should be rigid
ly enforced. Reckless driving with
in the borough limits has been too
frequent during the present season.

to the lives of the public but is a
nuisance as well because of the dust

cellent showing and the manage
ment was well pleased. His return
is due to a weakening of the arm
and he will remain here some time
to allow it to rest. If he fully re-
covers he will return to Altoona.

nomination proposes to erect on it's
150-acre farm at Canaan. Already

determined that the enterprise shall
be a great success.
