sort of thing right now. and it is

this year will be materially the sane
as twelve months ago. The Valuation
of property is more than three times
as great. but the levy will be less
than one-third rs high.
To be prepared for either horn OF
the dilemma Assessor II. J. Craig and
his deputies extended the taxes on
both valuations. the one secured by
assessment and the one made by the
state tax commission. and may be said
to be on Easy street now that the
matter so long in controversy is def
nitely settled
The assessment made in this coun-
ty last spring on the basis Of 4 full
valuation was something in excess of
s17.coo.ooo. The state tax commission
raised the amount IS per cent. max
ing the valuation on which taxes we're
TO be levied to more than So. .00o. 900.
The income from taxation in this
county this year will no. vary much
from the revenue obtained in that
way twelve months ago.

CHICKENS AND MEAT
STOLEN by THIEVES
People Of Penbrook and Surround.
ing Country Have Suffered
Heavy Losses Recently

Penbrook. Pa. Jan. 12.-Since the
first of the year more than 800 chick
ems have been stolen from residents
of this town. Progress, Hainton and
the surrounding country, all of the
work being done, it is thought, by two
men, who were seen last week by Mrs.
Lehman when her coop was robbed
early in the morning and siXty-five
choice fowls taken.
Before the holidays frequent losses
were reported, principally from Pro-
gress and the section near by. One
woman, Mrs. Longnecker, had all of
her fowls taken, while another woman
next door had all but two of her
flock carried off.
On Saturday morning three hogs
which had been butchered on Friday
afternoon by Mr. Stober, farmer re-
siding at Twentyfirst and Main
streets, were stolen, the thieves taking
all of the meat, which had been
placed in an clubhouse by the farmer.
To make the job more complete they
carried away the lard which had been
rendered from the hogs.
In the past two weeks actual count
shows that more than 200 fowls have
disappeared from coops in and about
town. Among the heaviest loosers
are: George Lehman, of Hainton, 65;
Luther Hooker, Paxtonia, 23; Daniel
Clay, Shoops Church, 35; Roy Cassel,
Paxtonia, 23 Samuel Swartz, Shoops
Church.; George Evans, Shoops
Church. 10. Residents of this town
have lost many of their chickens, but
in each case the number taken was
small.
Other petty robberies have been
committed and in the past week sew
eral houses were entered, three of
these in Main street. No clue has been
left by the robbers but it is thought
that it is the work of two men. and
that they have a wagon to help them
carry off their booty.
Plans are being made by several of
'he farmers to set traps to catch the
robbers in case they return for Sec
ond visit and in the meantime a close
watch Is being kept by the men on
the markets and stores of Harrisburg.
