MURDERERs GIVEN LIFE
SENTENCES

Robert S. Scotch and G.. Edward
Hegener, Jr., Lancaster, were SEN
fenced to prison for life for the MUIR
der of G. Frank Campbell at his
wayside refreshment stand near Not
tingham, Pa, on the night OF
June %.
The words "for the term of your
natural lives sounded the death
knell to their hopes of conviction
for murder only in the second
degree but raised the shadow of the
electric chair which had lowered
above them for months.
Their surprising willingness to
plead guilty before Judge William
Butler, of the Chester County Court,
at West Chester, and the lack of
evidence to show they visited Camp
bell for the express purpose Of
numbering him, weighed heavily in
their favor and Influenced the courts
decision to save them from the
chair.
They are sentenced to hard labor
and solitary confinement at the
Eastern Penitentiary for the rest of
their lives.

OXFORD FIREMEN INJURED AT
GLENROY BLAZE

A double dwelling and mushroom
house at Glenroy, Pa, were destroy
ed by fire on Saturday night, and
during the blaze several Oxford
firemen were injured when the end
of the mushroom house fell out.
Two of the firemen were very
seriously hurt.
Some one, without consulting the
Oxford fire company, who had the
blaze under control, called out the
Rising Sun fire company and sent
them on useless run, as there was
nothing for our boys to do when
they reached the scene but turn
around and come home.
The double dwelling was oc-
cupied by Jacob Jones and Samuel
Stewart, colored. The fire was caus-
ed by defective flue in the dwelling,
and spread very rapidly, the struc-
ture being doomed by the time the
firemen arrived.
Oxford's big pumper connected
up with large water tank at Will
liams' creamery, close by, and soon
had the fire under control.
While the hosemen were still
playing a stream on. the mushroom
house, one end of the building fell
out. catching Edward Reburn and
Orville Deaver underneath it. Re-
burn suffered fracture of both his
legs. He was taken to Richards
Hospital, Port Deposit. Deaver sus-
tanned fractured hip. He was
taken to West Grove Hospital.
Several other firemen were slightly
injured.
This is said to have been the first
serious accident in the Oxford fire
company during fifty years of SER
vice. The company carries blanket
insurance for it's members, so that
he injured men are protected to the
extent of having their medical and.
hospital bills paid and receiving
the sum of fifteen dollars a week
while they are unable to work
They were both in the employ of the
pennsylvania railroad.

FINE DAIRY HERD

G. C. Hill, who some months age
moved from the South to ou1
neighborhood and purchased the
John r. Allen farm, southeast OF
town, has greatly improved the
property. In addition he has gotten
together the finest herd of grade
Guernsey cows to be found in this
section, and embarked in the dairy
business along the most improved
lines.
The fact that the milk from his
herd of SO cows is Grade A, and is
shipped direct to the city market,
where it commands fancy price, is
proof not only that it is of high
grade, but also that it pays to adopt
modern methods.
The dairy is conducted in a
scrupulously sanitary manner. The
newly erected cow barn was con-
structed with this view, and has
concrete floors and feeding troughs,
individual drinking founts for the
cows, running water, feed and litter
carries, electric lights, etc., and is
kept spick and span clean at all
times, whitewash and lime being
used literally.
Every cow has. its particular
staunchion, the two long rows fac
ing each other, with raised concrete
feeding space between.
Two mem give their entire atten-
ton to the cows while in the barn,
every animal being Cured and
thoroughly brushed before milking,
even the switches of the tail being
dipped in a bucket of soap-suds and
warm water and thoroughly washed,
and strippings of milk made to
guard against bacteria, before the
electric milking machines are at
tached. The mixers wear white
suits.
At one end of the COW barn, is the
milk house, with aerator, cooling
troughs, etc., the most sanitary
method Of handling the milk being
employed.
Hot water and steam come from the
nearby boiler house for washing and
sterilizing cans, etc. The dairy is
equipped with it's own electric plant
A visit to Mr.. Hills farm and ar
inspection of his plant will prove of
interest and give some real idea of
the care that is taken of the cows in
feeding and handling, in order that
high grade milk may be produced
and not satisfied with grade A, Mr.,
Hill and his corps of efficient
workers are making every effort tc,
get a Grade AA product, which is
still higher.

SAME FINE STUDEBAKERs
Prices Reduced-Q Quality Maintained

T HESE low prices are not for new cars built
4 to sell at new prices.
They are for Studebaker cars identical with those
which have been in tremendous demand at higher
prices during the past eleven months.
They are for Studebaker cars SO well built Of
such high quality materials that net profits during
the past six months have averaged only $l40.64
per car. The rest of the money the public paid US
went into making car with scores OF thousands OF
miles of excess transportation.
These earnings are triumph for the one-profit
basis OF manufacture. No manufacturer on less
efficient basis could have made dollar selling cars
of Studebaker quality at Studebaker prices.
Stakeholder Is the only one.proft car In the fine
field. Only Ford and StsidebakeT make for all their
cars all bodies all engines, all gear sets, clutches,
springs, dferentals, axles steering gears gray iron
castings and drop torgings.
Thus we save and pass on to purchasers profits
which many other manufacturers must pay to out
side parts and body makers.
No yearly models" makes sales jump
Thus we were able last January to reduce prices
already low.
Then we announced that Studebaker would have
no more yearly models" to artifcialy depreciate
cars in the hands of owners
Sales instantly started to soar and have forced
the vast Studebaker plants to maintain peak pro-
duction throughout the summer, in the face OF
declining production for the industry in general
To one-proft savings we thus add savings due
to long continued peak production. These savings
we share with customers in the price reduction
announced August LIST
We still use genuine leather, mohair upholstery,
