Pay Toll on Turnpike
.Sbccidl TO The TeIepyabh

to kill the practice of autoists and
motorists who run by tollgates at full
speed on the turnpike for the purpose
of evading toll charges, an order has
been issued to the tolltakers at the
eastern and western ends of town to
keep all gates closed until the charge
has been collected. Since the order
went into effect and the gates have
been lowered, a young man from this
place drove into the gate at the west
ern end of Annville on Saturday and
smashed through. The gatekeeper got
the number and sent an itemized bill
for damages.

PARK ERSBURG, W. Va. April 16
The local High school affirmative
team lost the triangular debate here
this evening to the Wheeling High
school, the vote OF the judges being
two TO one. While the Wheeling team
had the better OF the local boys Vet
the question was not one sided. and
the victory was not an easily-acQuired
one. The local team comprised John
stump. Miss Geneva Ollom and Narl
Billee. and the Wheeling negative
side was handled by Wendell Dysing-
er. Hildreth Rider. Ray Roberts and
Alternate Carl Brandfass
The auditorium was crowded to its
utmost capacity. and music was fur
nished by a local orchestra. AS the
Wheeling boys came on the stage
they were given quite an ovation
and when the locals took their places
pandemonium broke loose The ar
guments were fast and furious. and
the opinion left by the Wheeling boys
was that the president should not
be elected for the term OF six years"
The up-river delegation. with their
victorious classmates, will return
