——J. K. Moyer, of Centre Mills, has
purchased the peach orchard of Henry
Detwiler lying north of his farm. The
orchard contains 500 trees, but is not ex-
pected to yield much this spring as an ex-
amination of the buds last week revealed
the fact that many of them were frozen.

——The 20th century thank offering
commission of the Central Pennsylvania
Methodist Conference met at Harrisburg
Wednesday and furthered the plans for
raising a balf million dollars by mass
meetings and special services in the
churches toward the support of Dickinson
college and Dickinson seminary, the
Methodist hospital. Philadelphia, retired
ministers’ fund and locai church debts.
The secretary’s salary was fixed at $2,000
and in addition he will be allowed the ex-
pense of traveling and what may be neces-
sary to keep up the work. The secretary
will arrange conventions and mass meet-
ings, which will be held in every city
throughout the conference. The trustees
of the conference in session considered
plans for raising a $100,000 annuity fund,
one-half of which is to be raised by the
laymen and the other half by the minis-
ters. Rev. Dr. Wm. Stephens, formerly
pastor of the Methodist church here, is the
secretary of the commission.

Temperature of the week ending 8 a. m.
April 30th, will average below normal in
the great central valleys, below in the

REV. CRITTENDEN’S CREED FOR A
CHRISTIAN.—Rev. R. Crittenden, the Sun-
day school evangelist, is very much inter-
ested in the unification of church creeds
and few men have thought more seriously
of the matter than he. His latest work
along this line is a revision of the Presby-
terian creed, which he thinks should be
along the following lines and he expects,
ere long, to see the old creed of that church
forgotten entirely.
THE CREED OF THE CHRISTIAN.
1.—For what purpose did God give us the
Bible ?
“These are written, that ye might believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God ; and that be-
lieving ye might have life through his name.”
(John 20:31.)
2.—For what did the Lord Jesus come into the
world ?
“Christ Jesus came intothe world to save sin-
ners.” (1 Tim.1:15.)
3.—What did Christ do to save sinners?
“Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures.” (1 Cor. 15:3.)
4.—Is there any other way for us to be saved?
“There is none other name under heaven given
among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts
4:12.)
5.-~What must a sinner do to be saved?
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou
shalt be saved.” (Acts 16:31.)
6.—How may we know if any person is a Christ-
ian ?
Jesns says, “If ye love me, keep my command-
ments.” (John 14:15.)
7.—What is the Christian’s condition after
death ?
“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.”
(Rev. 14:13.)

--——Al. Dale took a tumble while play-
ing ball with some kids on Water street on
Wednesday that would have done credit to
a circus acrobat. He was running back-
ward to catch a fly when his head got to
going faster than his heels and Al plowed
up a clond of dust that would have done
credit as the advance agent of a western
cyclone.
Centre Hall.
Mrs. Elmer Noll, of Lancaster, a niece of
Mrs. M. L. Emerick, paid that lady a visit
this week.
Mrs. Alfred Hosterman, of Centre Hill,
who has been in ill health for the past
month, is seriously ill at present.
F. O. Hosterman, of the live business firm
of Hosterman &§Stover, hardware men, of
Millheim, was in town on Tuesday on busi-
ness and pleasure.
Mrs. Scholl, the aged mother of Mrs. Gi
W. Hosterman, is seriously ill with dropsy.
She had been in excellent health up to ten
days ago.
The horse sale was well attended on Wed:
nesday, and twenty animals were sold—
drivers and draft horses. The prices ranged
from seventy-five to.one hundred and fifty,
with most above the hundred mark. The
dealer expects to be back again with
another lot.
Earnest, a son of Mr. and Mrs. James Her-
ring, died at the home of his father in Al-
toona a few days ago. It will be remember-
ed that this young man lay sick for some
time last winter at the home of his aunt,
Mrs. John T. Lee, in this place, Mrs. B. H.
Arney and Mrs. M. B. Richards attended the
funeral.
The wheat through the the valley has im-
proved 50 per cent. since the recent rains.
Where the plants are not totally destroyed
by freezing there is prospects for a half to
three-quarters of a crop, and in some few
cases probably a full yield. The improve-
ment in appearance is marvelous. The out-
look for a hay crop has also greatly im-
proved, although the clover was raised in
many parts of nearly all fields by the hard
freezing of the past winter. With favorable
weather during May there will be many
good grass fields.
Pine Grove Mention.
Blacksmith William Eckly has closed his
shop here to accept a position at Benore.
The aftermath of the April showers is
noticeable in the improvement of the wheat
fields.
Rev. C. B. Love opened his school, Mon-
day, at the Baileyville house with twenty-
three scholars in attendance.
John Kimport an employee of the Altoona
railroad shops is at his home here on a ten
days leave of absence and some big fish stories
can now be looked for.
Reuben Meek and Clay Campbell drove
over to Waddles on Sunday from State Col-
lege where they more than enjoyed a good
square meal at Dempster Meek’s.
Reuben Glenn, manager of Meek’s hard-
ware store at State College, passed through
town on Tuesday on his way to the Glades:
He was on business and in such a rush that
he did not have time to talk politics.
M. E.Heberling and W. E. Reed packed
their grio sacks on Monday and started out
for greener pastures, which they expect to
find up near Patton. There, itis said, work
is running around hunting up men.
Our newly married man of the tongs and
hammer and his bride, nee Miss Remy, are
now comfortably located at Struble’s station.
He purchased the D. S. Erb property there
and is prepared to do all kinds of work in his
line and only asks for his share of patronage.
Well digger Krape, of Centre Hall has just
completed a two hundred and five foot well
on Samuel Musser’s Tadpole farm with an
abundance of water. Mr. Krape is now sink-
ing a second well on the Frank Bowersox
farm as the one he completed last summer
caved in several hundred feet below the sur-
face.
On: day last week the pipes down at the
Baileyville creamery became clogged and in
spite of all that manager Clemenstine could
do the machinery refused to go. At first 1t
was thought the obstruction was sand and an
attempt was made to blow it out but finally
the pipe was uncoupled and a two foot eel
found, quietly reposing in one of the elbows.
Since writing our last letter in which we
said an operation would not be performed on
Lowell Smith, Dr. Keene of the Jefferson
hospital decided that one was necessary and
the incision was made last Friday. It was
found that a tumor was growing on the
abdominal artery and that any attempt to
remove it would prove fatal. The 'wound is
being healed up so that he will be able to be
home in a few weeks but with very little
encouragement of an extended lease of life.
Captain Kerr, of Pittsburg, engineer Wm.
Brady, of Latrobe, and mine host Mr. Wends-
worth, of the Mountain house at Cresson as
jolly a trio of fishermen as ever waded Spruce
Creek were down there on the 16th and
caught 198 of the speckled beauties their first
day. While here they were entertained at
John B. Goheen’s as pleasant a place to stop
at as any one could find and Captain Kerr
presented a magnificent Scotch collie to Mr.
Goheen as he evidently, realized the dog
would never find a better home.
——The multitudes who use Major's Cement
know that it is many hundred per cent better
than other cements, for which similar claims are
made, but a great many do not know why. The
simple reason is that Mr. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other manufactur-
ers do not use them, because they are too ex-
pensive and do not allow large profits. Mr. Major
tells us that one of the elements of his cement
costs $3.75 a pound, and another costs $2,065 a
gallon, while a large share of the so-called cements
and liquid glue upon the market are nothing
more than sixteen cent glue, dissolved in water
or citric acid, and, in some cases, altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition of cheap and
useless materials.
Major's cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries
to sell a substitute you can depend upon it that
his only object is to make larger profit.
If you are not at all handy (and you will be
likely to find that you are a good deal more so
than you imagine) you can repair your rubber
boots and family shoes, and any other rubber and
leather articles, with Major's Rubber Cement and
Major's Leather Cement.

Women Get Rich as Well as Men.
How One Woman Makes $18.00 to $40.00 a Week.
Many women say it is hard to get along in the
world because they do not have the chance to
make money that men do. I disagree with them,
for I am perfectly independent since starting in
business a few months ago, and never make less
than $18.00 a week, and often as much as $40.00. I
am selling Baird’s Non-Alcoholic Flavoring
Powders, which are much superior and cheaper
than the liquid extracts sold in stores. Before
starting I wrote to the Baird Mfg. Co., Baird
Building, Pittsburg, Pa., and obtained samples
which we tried in cakes, candies, custards, and
ice cream at our church sociable. Kverything
was so delicious that 1 wrote for the agency at
once, and had no trouble in establishing a regular
trade with my neighbors, which only occupies
the time I can spare from household duties. The
manufacturers say they will employ any earnest
person, man or woman, who can spare all or part
of their time, and I can say I never heard of
such an easy way to make money. MRS W—-
