The firm trades under the name of Young's Stock Food company, of Roaring Spring. The business, including the formulas, was purchased some years ago from Dr. Thomas W. Young, of Media, who organized the company and devised the formulas for making the materials. Construction of the new building was put under way late In January.

Andrew Brown told a representative of this newspaper yestertay that an addition of 20-30 feet will now be erected in order to care for additional plans which the company has in mind. An abanoned school house, on the same plot of ground acquired by the firm for Its new plant, has been refitted for a commodious office building. Later on additional machinery, required In the manuacture of the stock food and conditioner, will be installed, it was stated yesterday.

Distribution of the product of the plant is made by truck to the states mentioned above, according to Mr. Brown. The number of employes in the plant, when operating even at capacity, will vary but it is expected that the present force of agents and distributors scattered throughout the various states will be augmented considerably. Mr. Brown said yesterday the business of the concern was exceptionally good now and that there were prospects of its rapid increase.

For fifty-six years Leonard "Clean as a China Dish" has been a household expression In hundreds of thousands of homes. There is not a street In Altoona but that some home is not familiar with the Leonard refrigerator. In 1881 Leonard produced the first cleanable refrigerator, and since that time has played an important part in the safe preservation of food in millions of homes. Leonard pioneered refrigeration, the perfection of refrigeration today owes its success to Leonard.

In 1910 Leonard introduced the first all-porcelain refrigerator. About 1918 Leonard built the first refrigerator cabinet designed for electric refrigeration, and was called upon by pominent manufacturers in this then new industry to help them solve their cabinet problems. In 1927, Leonard added another chapter to its progressive record by introducing the first all-steel refrigerator cabinet. To signalize its golden anniversary in 1931 the Leonard Electric Refrigerator was presented to the world. These famous models bear ing a famous name won immediate acceptance for they had many features that were appear ing on the market for the first time.

Always ahead, always pro gressing Leonard again has given the greatest improvement in electric refrigeration the Master Dial NOW for the first time YOU can control accurately the operation of your own refrigerator to get ex actly the refrigeration ou need at the lowest operating cost. An unequalled money-saver is the Master Dial, for never before has there been available in any electric refrigerator a temperature control so accurate, so positive in its functions, so easy to regulate as the Master Dial. For ordinary safe refrigeration and fast freezing of ice cubes, the Leonard is entirely automatic. You set the Master Dial for normal operation and forget it But when you want super-fast freezing, when you want to make delicious frozen salads or desserts, a turn of the Master Dial gives you the extra cold which you need in the freezing trays but only as long as you need it. Then a turn of the Master Dial returns the operation to normal.

When you require even less refrigeration than normal say over a weekend trip -you turn the Master Dial to the "Vacation" setting and operation cost for such periods is reduced to practically nothing. Why because the Master Dial allows you to control your refrigerator, it makes possible a new conception of low operating cost. You will be surprised tremendously when you learn how little electrical current is required to operate a 1937 Leonard how little it costs in actual dollars and cents to own and enjoy in your own home the biggest electric refrigeration value of 1937. Come to the Furniture Warehouse, the old U. B.

church building, where low over-head cost to do business makes possible low prices. We will allow you the largest trade in value for your old refrigerator. Remember the address 217-219 5th Ave. Dial 2-5913 for evening appointments. Special Adv.

Seniors are asked to be reasonable in this matter of setting a high standard of dress for several reasons. It Is not fair to many dads and moth ers to expect them to go in debt or to spend unreasonable amounts when it isn't really necessary. Our caps and gowns are supposed to make all graduates look equally nice at the two main exercises. Parents want to do all within their means for their sons and daughters at this time. Be fair with them.

"Another reason for being reaS' onable in dress, is to make It possible for all graduates to feel comfortable at the banquet and the dance. There is a big dif ference in the ability to pay in our class. Some families will not miss the money spent while others do not have it to give. Students from the homes where- money is not a big consideration can do a lot to help all the other students enjoy themselves- Some families spend too much and keep poorer students away. An appeal is made In the Interest of all the graduates having equally a good time without the handicap of Inferior- ity.

"The other suggestion comes from the usual over-enthusiasm to overemphasize a good time. It Is the hope that our seniors have learned to be temperate In the use of their time and in knowing what enjoyment really is. There is always a fear that the newspapers will headline a terrible accident involving our graduates, thus marring our year and bringing sadness to our school and to our homes. Our highways are now made unsafe by recklessness and by drivers not fit to drive. At commencement time with many more cars on our highways, with enthusiasm running high, with students neglecting sleep and proper food the chances are increased as far as accidents are concerned.

"So with these thoughts in mind why not put forth individual efforts to make this commencement a good one, free from unnecessary criticism and one enjoyed by all students and all parents." 'Red' Jackson Calm As He Meets Doom GALENA, May 21 (If) In a small stockade jammed with men, women and peace officers, Roscoe (Red) Jackson, 36, was hanged to day for the hitch hike-murder of Pearl Bo-rth, Evansville. Jackson was calm when Sheriff Isaiah Coin asked if he wished to speak. "To ask anyone to forgive me is too much," he said. "Death itself is not so ba1, but the record a person leaves behind him may be. To die accidentally is easy, but when you come to It gradually it is hard.

If you feel that I am paying my dfbt like a man I am glad." Then the trap dropped. COURT MONDAY A session of miscellaneous court will be held at Hollidavsburir. Monday at 9:30 a. by Judge Marion D. Patterson.
