A BATTERY NEEDS INSPECTIONOFTE TEN Live Wire Manager Says Mo- toriSt Should Know Condi-
 ton of Battery

L B. Richardson, manager of the Ldve Wire Battery Service company, local agents for the Prestolite battery, says that frequent battery inspection is often the means of prolonging the life of R battery, while the lack of knowledge of the condition of a bat tery may result in damagex that mi ght otherwise be obviated.
 He continues that even though a battery may have power to turn over the starter and crank the motor. it may be in a run down state and un- dercharged to such an extent that plates are warped or damaged under the excessive load. He. therefore, urges a frequent inspection and ad- dition of distilled water, which ser vice his station gladly furnishes TO- Kardiess of make of battery in your car.

JUDGE ASSESSES
BEETOWN FARMERS
I CENT AND COSTS

Henry Mankel and Henry Weisben-
ner, Beetown farmers were called be-
fore Justice Burrows Saturday on a
charge made by H. G. Davis of the
state bureau of markets. The charge
involved a law that went into effect
last September requiring the grading
and marking of honey. Honey when
graded must be marked according to
the grade and if not graded must be
so marked. The alleged violation
took place in January when the inspec-
tor checked up on sales Of honey to
a local store, finding the cOnsign-
ments not marked as to grade.
The cases were taken to Judge
Smalley forthwith and pleas of guilty
entered. Both men were fined one
cent and costs incurred. Mr.. Mankel's
story, as the Herald has it, is that he
lent his stamp to two other parties in
the fall and was ad.:sed to mark his
product by hand Mr. Weisbenner
was not familiar with the law and
was guilty of an oversight. The cases
are purely technical ,;-G do not re-
fleet in any way on thv nigh standing

RecIzzse Found
Burned TO Death

HIGHbAND-Kath DO0ley, an
aged spinster. was found burned to
death in her lonely cabin, two miles
from this village, Saturday.
The body, which had lain under a
stove for possibly three days, was I'M
recognizable The cabin was not des-
troyed How the woman met her end
puzzles authorities
Discovery of the tragedy was made
by Thos Connors, rural mail carrier,
after he had passed the cabin three
,lavs without seeing a sign Of life.
Saturday he entered the place and
found the charred remains OF the
woman. He notified authorities who
made an investigation Of the premises
The theory first advanced was that
the woman had been murdered by
robbers who sought wealth she was
supposed to have secreted under the
cabin
Searchers unearthed $500 in gold
and securities valued at $1,000. The
finding of the gold upsets the belief
that robbery had been committed,
although it is though possible that
some one who knew Miss Dooley was
possessed of riches had killed her
but was unable to find the hidden
treasure.
The woman was recluse and ha>
lived in the shack for many years in
apparent poverty.
