FARM BUILDINGS DESTROYED

The barn and other outbuildings on
what is known as the Elan Charles
farm, near Penn Hill, were destroyed
by fire on the afternoon of February
9th. When discovered the flames had
made such headway they were issu-
ing from the sides of the building.
The farm is owned by Leroy Graham,
who was attending a sale., Having
no telephone in their residence, Mrs.
Graham was unable to summon assist
ance and ran to save the cattle tied in
the burning structure. She made sew
eral trips into the building and when
the flames reached the stable part
was forced to stop between each trip
and extinguish either the hte on her
clothing or hair. She also managed
to save an automobile stored in the
lower floor of the barn.
The flames spread to the pig-pen,
chicken house, corn crib and garage,
all being destroyed, together with a
horse, bull, all farm implements, 200
bushels each of wheat and potatoes,
a quantity of hay and straw and three
acres of tobacco. About 1000 pounds
of meat, their winters butchering,
which was stored in the granary, was
also entirely destroyed. The origin
estimated at $4,000 or $4,000, and the
insurance on the building is only
$1,000. This is the second fire of a
barn owned by Graham, who recently
bought the farm on which he now
lives from Elam Charles. Graham
lost an arm about two years ago
when it was blown off by discharge
from a shotgun.

BANDITS ESCAPED

Residents of our town were
awakened about four o'clock We'd
nesday morning by a fusillade Of
shots on East Main street, when two
State motor policemen were fired
upon by suspected bandits in two
high-powered cars, for whom the
policemen had been patrolling the
road all night. The shots were re-
truned by the officers, but the sus-
poets stepped on the gas" and mace
their escape. Officer Cassidy feels
certain he scored hit with one Of
his shots. Neither of the officers
were injured and they could not get
their motorcycles, which were new
machines, going quick enough to
make successful pursuit of the
bandits. who are suspected of being
implicated in the numerous holdurs
that have occurred the past few
months along the State road near
the Susquehanna river in Cecil and
Hartford counties.

ROAD BUILDING IN STATE TO BE
RESUMED
Cement and Labor Cheaper-Saving
Of $4,000 Per Mile

Prospects for a resumption of road
building throughout the State in the
near future are bright, due to another
fall in the price Of cement, John N.
Mackall, chairman Of the State Roads
Commission reports. Mr.. Mackall was
informed of further cut of 35 cents
barrel, effective Immediately, and
that the manufacturers would accept
orders on this basis for future de-
livery. This is the first time for a
considerable period that they have
been willing to accept orders for fu-
ture delivery at any fixed price.
This cut follows a cut of 40 cents a
barrel, made some time ago, making a
total reduction of rs cents a barrel
since the first Of the year, and bring
mig the price down to 1888, delivered
in Baltimore, with ST barrel off for
bags returned in good condition, MAX
ing the net price $2.58. This reduc-
tin will make a cut of about $4,000 a
mile for the construction of roads.
Labor costs also are down and the
contractors are figuring that they
will go still lower on the ground
that the farmer will not he able to pay
the prices labor now is asking, and
the road-builders are at this time
the only competitors of the farmers
for labor in the country. Costs of
road building material other than ce-
ment are not expected to 60 lower
until the labor market stabilizes. With
cement and labor at present figures,
Mr.. Mackall said that there would be
saving of from $4,000 to $4,000 a
mile in road construction from last
falls prices, and that the saving on
cement was due largely to the Road
Commissions determination not to
build roads with cement at the prices
demanded last fall.
1t is expected that roads will be
built this spring around $4,000 a
mile, last falls prices being from $4O,-
900 to $4,000 a mile. The 40 per
cent. increase in freight rates will,
in Mr.. Mackall's opinion, prevent con-
struction going as low as $4,000 a
mile, that increase putting fixed
charge of $4,000 mile on roads con-
struction that cannot be overcome

is charged, held up an automobile

them.

STATE MOTOR POLICE ON JOB
Officer Stationed Here Makes Several
Arrests

State Motor Policeman Cassidy
has been stationed at Rising Sun
and is haling motorists who ire
careless in their respect of the law,
before Magistrate B. P. Nichols,
several having seen the inside of the
magistrates office this week, who
had no thought of visiting him.
The first arrest made by the motor
police here Tuesday, morning was
that of Frank Haines, Of near town,
who was driving car without Ii
cense and with borrowed license
tags. This double violation of the
law cost the driver $40 in fines.
Other arrests followed, and a num-
Der of motorists in our neighbor-
hood have become vino e d,
through their pocketbook, that they
will have to pay more attention to
the automobile laws of the State.
The presence of a motor officer
here has long been desired, as there
has been almost total disregard for
speed and other road laws by nu-
merous autoists, who seem to think
the laws apply to the other fellow
but not to them.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. Dec. 1.-The Naval
Academy has received an invitation to
row against Harvard and Princeton AZ
Cambridge on May G, and will accept II
official permission can be obtained and
the arrangements made. The greatest
athletic ambition OF the Naval Academy
at present Is to meet Princeton on the
water. and it is almost certain that il
will do SO. either at Cambridge or in the
American Henley events. in which
Princeton is entered this year.
IL is also likely that the nidshipmen
will again row in the Poughkeepsie re-
gattl. which they won so declslvely last
season. Capt Moore, who rowed at
No 1. Is the only member OF the crew
who graduated, and the Navy will stiil
have five of those who rowed in the
crew which won the worlds champion
ship at Antwerp in 1920. AS seven men,
bers OF the varsity graduate in June and
are given a leave OF about month, il
should be an easy thing to keep the
crew together in order to row at Pough-
keepsie about the middle Of the month.
Clyde King, stroke OF the olympic
crew and all American tackle. is cap
tain OF the Navy crew for the coming
season. He will graduate in June, and
his final athletic ambition is TO get an
other chance at Princeton. which unex-
pectcdly defeated the Navy at Princeton
last season.
Syracuse and tho University OF Penn
sylvania will probably be the only crews
on The Nays home schedule during
the coming season.
