Court Upholds Board of Censors.
The lower courts have upheld the
recent Act of the Legislature creating a
board of censors for moving pictures and
the board will continue its work in this
State. The only way the board can be-
come a real good to the public is to elim-
inate most of the silly, senseless, melo-
dramatic stuff now being foisted upon the
public as the work of leading artists,
when they are not worthy even of
mediocre talent. When the moving pic-
ture won its popularity was when pictures
of travel, historical and educational in-
terest were given; cities and rural life
in foreign countries that very few mov-
-ing picture goers would ever see in rea!
ife. But it is different now-a-days and
out of all the pictures shown weekly there
are very few that are worth the time
it takes to see them. Where the fault
lies has not yet been determined. The
film makers produce the pictures, the
theatres show them in lieu of something
better and the people patronize the
theatres because they are a cheap means
of amusement, without regard to the
uplifting qualities. And here is where
the board of censors could get in its
work beautifully.
—The only thing certain about the
European war is that it will make a
radical change in the map of the world
and vastly increase the number of Re-
publics on the face of the earth.
——The Cantaloupe exchange of Chi-
cago has been indicted by a federal grand
jury. Itis to be hoped that the result
will be a decrease in the price of this
breakfast delicacy.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
——Thursday morning of last week
two motor cars from Osceola Mills, driv-
en by S. W. McLarren and Mine Super-
intendent Isenberg, respectively, took a
crowd of ten men to inspect the St,
Paul's M. E. church at State College.
While there they also visited the new
Presbyterian church. Rev. H. H. Crots-
ley, pastor of the Osceola Methodist
Episcopal church, was among the num-
ber. The officials of that congregation
are raising a building fund and hope to
break ground for a church in the spring.
From State College they went to Ty-
rone, Bellwood and Altoona,
MILLER. —Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Miller,
wife of D. K. Miller, a well known mer-
chant of Lock Haven, died at the Lock

noon and arrested Mrs. Burdine Butler
and her two sons, Hugh and Thomas, on
warrants sworn out by officials of the

protest of Mr. Butler, who stated that
they were fencing up his watering place.

A MASTERPIECE of ELOQUENCE.—Com-
menting upon the features of Methodist
day at Lakemont Park, Altoona, the
Altoona Tribune of Saturday says:
The sermon by Rev. E. H. Yocum, of
Bellefonte, was a masterpiece of elo-
quence. It was one of those discourses
that baffles a reporter's pencil, abound-
ing in illustrations that drove home the
truth with telling effect. The text was
“All are yours and ye are Christ's and
Christ is God’s.” 1 Cor. iiix 22-23. St.
Paul in this text was emphasizing the
richness of the Christian heritage. The
different churches now, as the variations
in allegiance of that day to Paul, Apollos
or Cephas, are but the sluices through
which the teaching of the truth is to run.
“All are yours-the world, life and even
life and even death-belong to the Chris-
tian who belongs to Christ. The great
father-heart and mother-heart of God
enfold the believer and enrich his life,

Service Sunday 10:45 a. m. Wednes-
day 8 p. m,, 9 E. High street.
The “Battle of Armageddon” is Dr.
Hawes’ subject for Sunday morning. So
much is being said about the present
European war in connection with
prophetic scriptures that it is a timely
subject for discussion. The sermon
‘should be heard by as many people as
possible. The public is welcome.
THE FIFTH UNION VESPER SERVICE
Will be held in front of the High school
building next Sunday evening at 6:45,
instead of 7 o’clock. Notice the change
in the time of che opening. As the days
are becoming shorter these services will
begin one quarter of an hour earlier.
Make a special effort to be present on
time. On last Sunday evening the Rev.
Fulcomer, of the United Evangelical
church, had charge and delivered the
sermon. His expression of the significance
of the mountains was very instructive,
His pointed reference to the Saviour’s
use of these as appropriate places for
secret prayer was suggestive. His ap-
peal for all christians to spend much
time alone with God was effective.
“More things are wrought by prayer
than this world dreams of.” Pray for
the message and the messenger and at-
tendants at the meeting next Sunday
evening at six forty-five o’clock.

Parcel Post Service to Contiment Dis-
| continued.
' All parcel post service between the
United States, France and Germany was
| ordered suspended on Monday by the
postoffice authorities at Washington.
| This action was taken because the war
. has made it impossible to deliver parcels
to the two foreign countries mentioned.
The “2-cent postage” to Germany has
also been discontinued. This means that
| the rate of 2 cents an ounce no longer
prevails. A rate of 2 cents is made
i possible by sending the mail direct to
| German ports on German steamships.
As none of the German merchant ships
now dare take to the high seas, the rate
has been suspended.
i Five-cent rate letters have not been
discontinued.
Mail for Liverpool or other English
ports is being received.
i The postoffice authorities accept this
mail in the regular course of events,
| making no guarantee that it can be de-
livered, as it is recognized that any of
the steamships upon which it would be
forwarded, with the exception of those
of American registry, may be withdrawn
from service at any time.
