CANNING OPERATIONS TO
BEGIN AT PARK FRIDAY
Pea Crop Fairly Good in Places
To Employ Approximately
125 for Period of Six Weeks

The Mt. Airy Canning company will
open it's canning season at Loeb Lynn
Heights Friday morning according to
Howard Reinhardt, manager, and will
operate for a period of five or six
weeks.
The plant will employ approximate
ly 125 men, women and boys as has
been the case for the past two or
three years. The efficiency of the
plant in the quick handling of the pro-
duct was materially increased last
year. Extensive improvements and
additions were made, and this years
crop is expected to be easily handled.
Every department of the plant will
be kept going continuously due to the
addition of larger bins and speedier
operation of the machinery which was
installed last year.
The plant will probably have a
straight run of thirty days or more
in canning peas, after which time the
corn crop is expected to be ready for
harvesting and canning. The pea
crop is considered fairly good in the
highlands, but rather poor in the low
lands due to numerous rains and
floods.
The total amount of power required
to operate the plant this year is AGO
h. p. The power is produced by two
$50 horse power boilers and four 40
horse power electric motors.
Mr.. Reinhardt will superintend the
operations.

COUNCIL TO PIPE WATER
INTO OAKLAND CEMETERY
May Be Used by Lot Owners
Free-Other Matters Dis
cussed at Regular Session

An order to pipe water into the
Oakland cemetery where it could be
used by the lot owners free Of charge
was passed at the regular monthly
meeting of the Mayor and Town
Council on Monday night. Work on
this will start Immediately, according
to L. M. Fraley, mayor, and the water
will be placed in a convenient spot for
all users.
This order came freely from the
council as it's members felt that keep
ing the cemetery neat and beautiful
should be encouraged among all lot
owners. There has been movement
on foot during the past month or so
for the lot owners to organize, and
hire a caretaker to keep the entire
cemetery in good condition and the
council passed this order as an added
incentive.
To Begin Oiling
A number of streets of Oakland will
be oiled, beginning next week, the
street committee reported at the
meeting. The oiling will be under the
supervision of the State Roads COM
mission, and the following streets
will be gone over: Liberty street,
Pennington street, Center street, Will
son street, and part of Third street,
between Oak and the Youghiogheny
river bridge.
A letter was written by Harry d.
Williar, chief engineer Of the State
Roads commission, by the council,
asking that "Stop" signs be placed
at all street intersections in the city
where they crossed the State roads.
Third street and Oak street are
State roads, and the council felt that
all traffic coming out from side streets
onto these thoroughfares should come
to complete halt.
To Enforce Traffic Regulations
The traffic light regulations are
going to be rigidly enforced, 1t was
stated at the meeting. A number OF
cards have been printed and anyone
going under a red light will be noti-
fed. If he is caught second time,
the council plans to have him fined to
the full extent of the law. Thomas K.
Currie, state policeman, may be
sworn in as a town officer, and he will
then be empowered to make arrests
for violations at all three corners
where the lights are placed, Mayor
Fraley stated.
Mr.. C. N. McIntire appeared before
the meeting in connection with the eX-
tension of Oak street and Ninth
street, but action on this matter was
deferred until next meeting. Passing
of the monthly bills occupied the re-
mainder of the meeting. The next ses-
sion will be called for August 5.

POLA NEGRTS SON TO BE
GUEST OF W. VA. SCOUTS
Juan husband Visits in Graf
ton at Home of Rev. A. ].
TOrrey-an Old Friend

While the Boy Scout troop, spon-
sored by the Grafton Kiwanis Club,
of Grafton, West Va, is in its first
annual encampment the first two
weeks in July at the permanent camp
of the Oakland, Md, Scouts at Deep
Creek Lake in Garrett county, they
will have as their guest and adviser
a real celebrity-in his own right and
by reason of the fact that his mother
is a famous motion picture star.
The other day Juan Edwardus Rich
ard Carlos Negri husband, son of the
beautiful Pola Negri, stopped a few
hours in Grafton to visit his old
friend, the Rev. A. J. Torrey, rector
of st. Matthias Protestant Episcopal
Church, erstwhile scoutmaster of the
Kiwanis troop, and widely experienced
in boys club activities in Oakland
and elsewhere.
Eagle Scout
Because he is an Eagle Scout, en-
We'd bv all Scouts below that cherish
ed rank, which bespeaks unusual pro-
ficiency in the craft so dear to the
hearts of American boys, Juan, as ne
prefers to be called, promised Scout
master Torrey he would accompany
the Grafton Scouts on their camping
trip.
In Hollywood, known to most OF
the world only for its divorce scan
dals, Juan is assistant Scoutmaster
Negri" of Troop "a, Mounted Boy
Scouts, one of the two organizations
of it's kind in the United States OF
America. Included in the member
ship of the troop, which is mounted
on fiery Mexican bronchos, are Tom
Mix, Jr., Richard, son of John Gilbert;
James Fairbanks, son of Doug;
Francois, son of the lovely Dolores
Del Rio, and scions of many another
famous movie family.
$1,000 a Month
In spite of the fact that his wealthy
mother has endowed her devoted son
with an income of $1,000 a month,
Juan has one extravagance-f such 1t
can be called when his income is con-
sidered-and that is sport model OF
a famous imported automobile, which
is his chief pride.
Although only 18 years old, Juan is
a graduate of the University OF Call
fornia, where his grades won him
many scholastic honors.
True to his Spanish ancestry, Juan
ranks as a maestro in his ability to
produce beautiful music from the gui-
tar. which he carries always in his
automobile.
In addition to his other claims to
fame, Juan is a twin. This was re-
vealed when he visited the Rev. and
Mrs. Torrey at the st. Matthias Rec
tory. He is four minutes colder"
than his beautiful twin, the Senorita
Dolores Juanita lie Riquo Negri.
Although the pair made their
screen debut in "The Rat" it was ex-
planned by Juan that he is I'M
decided as to whether he will make
this his life work. However, he was
en- route to Annapolis, Md, where he
explained a conference with motion
picture officials probably would decide
his future.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
National Advertising Representatives


Press agents told OF how two women who had per-
nitted two strange "hitch-hiker" men to ride IN their
car across a sparsely settled section Of Colorado and
Kansas were found beaten and abandoned IN a Kan
sas pasture.
Frailty Of the human mind. rather than conditions
brought by the advent OF the automobile, Is response
bic for the opportunities criminals have in such cases
as that described in the Kansas press report. Why
two women would permit strangers 10 enter their
automobile on a lonely prairie is a question We pass
along to psychologists.
Thousands Of persons are picked up daily on high
ways. and in most instances no harm results. Yet
the risk is too great. Crimes committed by persons
who have accepted the courtesy Of motorists are fire.
quent, and some Of them are Of the most atrocious
type.
1t was not many years ago that the principal of
a high school in a southern state was dubbed to death
by three young men to whom he had given a ride in a
sparsely settled district. The ~foot-sore travellers re-
paid the man who had extended the misguided
courtesy By taking his life. True. two Of the young
men paid for their crime with their lives. and the
third was given a life sentence, escaping death be-
cause he turned states evidence.
But that did not end the hazardous habit OF CIV
ing rides to strangers. nor did the punishment OF the
criminals end attacks made upon motorists.
Thousands Of unfortunate persons walk along the
highways every day. many Of them forced to walk
because they haven't the price of bus or train fare.
Most Of these pedestrians are honest. honorable per-
sons. but there Is nothing to distinguish them from
the thug. the crook and the dead-beat.
So. the only safe plan is to ignore those who at
tempt to bum their way along the highways. Mis-
guided courtesy has cost numerous men and women
their lives. If motorists will learn the lesson Of re-
fusing rides to all persons to whom they would not
lend bus or train fare, the highways soon will be
cleared Of deadbeats and criminals who depend upon
sympathy for their transportation.
