$1,000 WORTH OF
COPPER STOLEN
Bold Daylight Robbery at
Elizabethville Distillery in
January Just Discovered

Elizabethville, Pa, Feb. %. - News
of a bold daylight robbery committed
some time in January has just come
to light. II. II. Weaver, who owns a
distillery in the eastern part of the
borough, went to one of the build
inss last week and found that q large
amount of copper in the form of tubs
and piping used in the distillery, had
been removed. Upon investigation he
ascertained that two we'll dressed
young men applied at the local livery,
hired team. Driving to the distil-
lery they loaded the loot and went to
Halifax, going right through town.
At Halifax they expressed the mate
rial to Harrisburg and hired a man to
return the team to this place. A num-
Der of citizens saw the loaded wagon
go, but thought that Mr.. Weaver had
sold 1T to them, and being in midday,
gave no thought to robbery. Should
MIR. Weaver desire to replace the
stolen material, at the present prices,
1t will cost him about $500.

Ask Twenty thousand
People

There are about twenty thousand
people in Harrisburg and vicinity
whom l have fitted with eyeglasses. L
take pleasure in referring you to any
one of this number in regard to my
ability and my integrity. In many in
stances where l have fitted a person,
other members of the family have
come to me for my professional serV-
ices. Many others, without any solici-
tation on my part recommend their
friends to come to me. People who
have moved to other cities, send to me
to duplicate their glasses when the
originals are lost or broken-all of
which is a strong assurance that my
services and charges are satisfactory.
If you need glasses at all, you need
the services of a reliable and compe-
tent optometrist. Under no circum-
stances will L sell anyone cheap or
trashy eyeglasses, neither will l over
charge for a good pair. 1 will not fit
anyone with glasses until 1 have made
a thorough, painstaking test of the
eyes. l must know they are right be-
fore they so out of my office. "SERV-
ICE" is a motto with some people.
With me it is a basis on which L
build my success.

NO OPEN SEASON
FOR KILLING DOES
House Game Committee Sits
\ Down on Any Proposition
to Make Changes in Law

Members of the House Committee
on Game are opposed to making any
open season for killing does, although
the suggestion has Deen made because
of complaints made by farmers and
fruit growers that female deer, which
are protected by law, have been raid
ing their fields and orchards for the
last year and causing much damage.
The members of the Game Committee
at hearing given Secretary Kalbfus,
of the State Game Commission, eX-
pressed themselves as opposed to any
open season on the does.
The members declared that they
were favorable to a plan whereby State
game wardens could kill deer or does
at any time they were causing dam
age to farmers and becoming public
nuisances, but not to permit anyone
else to do it.
1t is probable that there will be
favorable action upon the bill TO pro-
vide that $4,000 of the revenues from
huters' license be set aside to reim-
burse farmers and orchard owners for
damage done by deer, bear or elk un--
der supervision of the Game Commits

jury of three to determine damages

The paralyzing of railroad

with the fuel situation-lack
of cars to carry the coal from
the mines to the market.
Fortunately the coal short
age has not reached such a
critical stage as the food

a reality as only those who

ter may find out later to their
sorrow.
