dog owner who has not complied

The new dog law of 1921 gives
the Department ot Agriculture
full authority to enforce the law
and its enforcement will be under
the direction of the Bureau of
Animal Industry.
The state has been divided into districts with a field man in
chsrge ot each district. It will
be tbe duty ot those men to see
that the law is enforced without
fear, or favor.
Since tbe act of 1917 was passed
has been a growing tendency on
the part of dog owners to comply

Maay Bellwood Cilisass Waal 11 Through
Tows Whits Others Oppose
Just whioh will be tbe final
route of the William Penn highway through this section is still
undetermined. The line originally planned waa to pass through
the Main street of the borough,
but since it has met with much
contention ou tbe part ot tbe Altoona & Logan Valley Electric
Railway, on account of a proposition to change its right ot way
near this borough and at Hutciin-
sons crossing, where it has bean
suggested tbat tbe line be moved
'to tbe west side of the public
highway, it is not likely that
quick action will be had in the
matter, at least during the coming summer, unless au agreement
is reached.
The highway has already been
constructed tu a point near Bellwood and it is propose:! many ot
OOT citizens that it be continued
through the borough, via Main
street, while there are others who
are opposing tbe plan, and think
the gospel hollow way. is tbe logical conclusion.
A number of Bellwood citizens
who favor the Bellwood route appeared before the Altoona city
cou ncil   Wednesday    atternoon.
Tbere bas been a movement on
foot to shorten the route betweeu
Tyrone slid Altoona, by building
a new road wbiob is to pass through what is known ss Gospel
Hollow aod which would elimi-

wbiob it is intended to abandon
as a part of tbe highway extend-
from Tyrone lo Altoona. Bellwood citizens have practically
agreed to build a link of road
whioh would connect tbe present
highway leading to Bellwood
witb the main street of the town,

No definite conclusions were
reached at tbe meeting of the
Bellwood citizens and the Altoona
council, but a further discussion
of tbe matter will be made at a
meeting between the two bodies
which has been scheduled for the
near future.
Tbe matter of this rosd also
oame before the Kiwanis club at
its luncheon Wednesday and it
was tbe consensus ot opinion thst
the controversy should be dropped and tbe state highway department allowed lo build the
proposed rosd the way it should
determine. Many of the members of the-Kiwanis club were of
the opinion that quibbling on the
part of the residents of tbe two
towns would only delay the
of road building aod would
baps result in no road at all.

Why buy in   Bellwood  if
live ingBellwood ?
Would yoo like to see tbis a
better towo, witb more life, enterprise and business ? Would you
like to see more work going on
here? And would you like it
better it yoa could walk into
Bellwood stores snd find in them
bigger snd ifesher and more varied stock-of everything?
All this ooald be—it the bulk of
the money that goes to tbe mail
order concerns stayed in Bellwood, It you don't believe it,
iook'into tbe matter and see how
many dollars leave Bellwood in
one month for the so-called bargains tbst the mail order people
picture in tbeir catalogs. And
then imagine what tbat much
money spent here at home would
add to tbe town's business!
Of course, yoa have a personal
right to bay wbere yoo please.
You are a free man in a tree country. All ot wbicb is true in a
sense. But it is equally true we
are mutually dependent one upon
another. Tbat wbicb may be
legal, per bo, may not be necessarily expedient. It may be within your right, but at the' same
time not bo for tbo best interest
of all concerued, yourself included
in the number.
When yonr  bouse barns and
yoa mid help, does any one ever
bear of Sawbuck & Co. making a
contribution f   Or Half****- 1^**r*-*

chants in Bellwood and get results, but tbe catalog house
wouldn't give yon as muoh barb
wire as yoa ooald eat.
The same way aboat your
churches sad schools ? Who
keeps (hem up? The Philsma-
york bargain bouse ? Not so yoa
can tell it.
And when you bave something
to sell, do any of these 'golden
pheasants" ever buy it of yoo ?
You have a right to do as you
please, but adherence to the doctrine of "buy it at home" mews
profit in the long run, not only to
the man yoo may buy from, but
to you.
We don't have to stand together and pull together if we don't
care to. Nobody can make us do
it. But all the same it will be a
lot better for us if we do, and we
are bound to lose something if we
don't.
Let's all get the "home town"
idea in our heads, and/is long as
we live in Bellwood, let's be of,
for and by Bellwood. And don't
let's waste energy and money in
building up some other place
where you don't live and probably never will live. *
