Demonic alc | Bellefonte, Pa., March 12, 1915. nasa County Correspondence Items of Interest Dished Up for the Delec- tation of ‘‘Watchman’> Readers by a Corps of Gifted Correspondents. REBERBURG. John Zeigler is getting his spraying machine ready for the first spring day. All the people endorse President Wil- son's effort to keep peace with all the world. Ernest P. Bierly has ordered several hundred choice fruit trees for spring planting. W. J. Carlin, Esq., has stocked up his store anew and is campaigning for the Spring trade. Many favor the proposal to send Uncle Sam’s carrier by way of Rockvilie after dinner, daily. Mrs. James Harbaugh spent the past week with her daughter at Avis, and re- ports a splendid visit. Hon. Willis R. Bierly was called to Philadelphia early in the week to look after his law book interests. Three of a kind: Sam Shafer, Alf Schwarm and Jake Gephart—when they engage in a story-telling bee! George Waite and Mrs. Neece, who are visiting Mr. Waite’s daughter Jessie, in Illinois, expect to return before April first. We have brunettes, blondes and saf- fronettes here, but no suffragettes, though they do say there are some suffer- ing—yets! As soon as the schools close our musi- cians will exert themselves to become ' mistresses of all the fine selections they have accumulated. Robert Meyer is engaged daily prepar- ing his fruit culture plant for spring op- erations. He has ordered about one hundred fruit trees. The State orchard on Daniel Royer’s farm needs attention, especially those cherry trees which have the black knot, and should not be left unknotted. Mrs. Daniel Brungart, who recently celebrated her ninetieth anniversary, has a remarkable memory of people and events of long ago, but as to recent events it is not so vivid. Ammon J. Hazel on Saturday night completed taking account of stock and turned over the store to Samuel Gep- hart. He expects to remove to Boals- burg the latter part of this month. Miss Ruth Douty, during the hours when not employed with her Grammar school lessons, is sedulously engaged up- on some new music which is delightful. She is said to have exceptional talent in music. The Misses Florence and Lucille Bright, after graduating from the High school, hope to resume their musical studies with vim. The intense study re- quired by the High school course inter- rupted their music. On last Thursday a quilting party was held at the home of Mrs. Reish, of Kline's Mill, there being present Mrs. William Krebs and three children; Mrs. Fred Best and daughter Helen; Mrs. Bigler Shaffer and daughter Mary, and Mrs. J. A. Kline. Sterrill Miller, of Rockville, clerked at the George Corman sale and Charles Smull was cashier. There was a large attendance, a special feature being the many young ladies and their gentleman friends. The bevy of beauties enjoyed watching the boys play ball. Miss Emma Moyer, accompanied by schoolmates from Susquehanna Univer- sity, Miss Marie Harter, of Maytown, Pa.; Mr. Mohney, of Brookville, Pa , and Mr. Dockerty, of Williamsport, Pa., spent Saturday and Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. Nevin Moyer, parents of Miss Moyer. One of our old Sugar valley Pome- ologists has tendered a useful hint where- by Prof. Surface can make a hit in hor- ticultural circles. He offers the sugges- tion that Surface might install a colony of those odoriferous little quadrupeds, commonly called the skunk, on each of the State Orchard Experimental Stations ‘to spray for San Jose scale. Few remember now that the original house on the Ruhl farm north of town, now owned by Jasper Brungart, was lo- cated above the mountain road near the spring which supplies the water for the Brungart farm mansion. But Mrs. Phce- be Brungart can tell you all about it. She was a daughter of Col. Henry Royer and doubtless, as a little girl, used to play around the yard of the old moun- tain house. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” Elias Breon will burn a stack of lime | hero: soon. Mrs. Victor Walker has fully recover- | ed her health. Dusty roads on Friday and a foot of snow on Saturday. Sam. Gephart is doing a merry busi- ness as merchant and purveyor of edi- bles. Mrs. Ella Diehl has been a valued as- sistant during the illness of Mrs. Samuel Shaffer. A goodly number of our farmers will burn lime in spring time. Every farm needs lime. Miss Helen Bierly, of Madisonburg, will soon make her home with Mr. and Mrs. Cal. Weaver. Contractor C. C. Bierly is never idle, but will soon be crowded with spring home improvements. Mrs. Thomas Walker sells from eight to nine dozen of eggs every week, laid by her White Orpington flock. When a gentleman of leisure suddenly develops into a chicken fancier it is not a Sure sign of a hen-pecked husband, is it ? In the absence of a literary society the boys spend their evenings in Tommy Auman’s barber parlor, playing domi- noes, etc. “Poor Ruby flucht!” though converted and churched. But, as Sterne said of his “The Recording Angel dropped a tear upon the book and blotted it out forever! The High school under Hon. C. L. Gramley is doing solid, sober work. This afternoon the pupils will give a public entertainment, which will be reported next week. James Harbaugh has been kept very busy at Grif. Garret’s planing mill all winter, and is seasoned for the spring campaign when the Easter flowers bloom and nod their golden heads. As a cartoonist our Sammy Hubler is quite equal to Bradford, and if the latter is up in Pike county to get away from the Pickleweights and piccaninnies, the North American should send for Sammy. County auditor J. Brungart, has reason to be proud of his part in the work of the board. Out tax payers are grateful that the tax rate is reduced from six to four mills. Miles township valuations are higher than those in all the remain- der of the county. When Gabriel called the erring sister up to Heaven’s gate, she was challenged for her sin. But a black-bird perched upon an angel’s vine nearby and sang: *‘Oh Gabriel forget her sin; Oh let her in—let her in!” And Gabriel let her in. TYLERSVILLE. Henry Grieb is a regular attendant at the Lock Haven market. Miss Hilda Shafer has taken a pleasant trip to the western part of tha State. Farm sales open today at Minor Mil- ler’s, the old Samuel Greninger place near Dan Ruhl’s saw mill. As soon as spring opens, Thomas Greninger will open his gold find near this burg, by the grace of God. Dr. Jonathan Ruhl, who was recently treated in a Baltimore hospital, has re- covered his former strength and activity. John Frantz, an aged citizen is an in- valid, and it is feared his condition is serious because he has reached the age of seventy-five. Whenever there is sickness or distress in this community the handmaid of mercy is Mrs. Abbie Cole, who comes in re- sponse to every call. Mrs. Gertrude Herlacher was taken seriously ill a week ago, from undue ex- posure, and with the aid of two doctors she is now improving. As fast as Sugar valley develops a mu- sical bud some bold eagle comes along and plucks it. Miss Alberta Stover, of Rebersburg, is the culturist who devel- ops the buds. Robert Spangler took in the opening sale at George Corman’s on Saturday. Doctor Jakey was greatly missed there by the bevy of Brush valley beauties who pany transported upon his summery smile. The suffragettes have an argument in their favor from the splendid business success of Miss Lillie Weil, who operates the commercial emporium of her late father, Abram Weil, ta the satisfaction of everyone. Benjamin Greninger, who had a se- rious sickness all winter, is again on his feet. He can now attend to the affairs of the various estates for which he stands as a representative because of the trust imposed in him. Ed. Albright, of Millheim, who recent- ly took to himself a bright help-meet, visited this village on Friday, to see about the removal of his goods to Mill- heim. Ed. is a son of the late Andy Al- bright and this was his birth-place. We are all glad to see him happy. Em. M. Bierly the horticult: rist will soon begin spring work, grafting, trim- ming trees and grape vines. He intends to graft chestnut trees this year and says he always grafts them early in the sea- son. He makes a superior kind of graft- ing wax which neither cracks nor runs away. Frank Tressler, who now owns the great grandfather Bierly farm, lately owned by Em. M. Bierly, is conducting a fencing campaign, as he intends to im- prove the opportunity afforded by a real Democratic administration to raise fine stock. He has the water, the grass and the sand. H. Frank Rockey, who spent about ten years in Porto Rico as teacher, superin- tendent and a government employee, paid a visit to his old friend Billy Bryan last week, incidentally, with governmental affairs. Mr. Rockey is a gentleman with the Democratic genius to succeed and serve his country with distinction. In this Democratic township of Logan there is no busier or more progressive citizen than Jerry Shafer. Besides being the father of a large family of interest- ing children, he is at the front ot every enterprise from farming to lumbering. Mr. Shafer never had larger lumber op- erations than at present, the Wolf tract being but half finished. The citizens of this vicinity are still looking hopefully for an extension of the White Deer railway to supply the miss- ing link to Lamar, which would be of great benefit to all as well as the railroad company, since it would draw trade from rich old Brush valley. The distance from Loganton to Lamar is sixteen miles and the road would pass through a prosper- ous region and by inexhaustible beds of the best lime stone for commercial uses. LEMONT. Roy Hoy spent Sunday at the home of his father, B. F. Hoy. About all those who have been sick with measles are out now. William Lytle is having new weather boarding put on his residence. Friday, Saturday and Sunday brought a heavy snow and lots of mud. Miss Eva Grove is home from Susque- hanna University, on the sick list. The sales are now on again and most of the people busy attending them. Jacob Ray and wife have been on the sick list the past week, but at this writ- ing they are getting better. Invidious Distinction. A gentleman one day approached the hosiery counter and asked: “Let me see some ladies’ hosiery.” The floorman was astonished to hear the clerk reply: “Do you want it for your wife or something more expensive?” St. Peter’s at Rome. St. Peter’s at Rome is a Basilica— the Basilica Vaticana—but it never was, and is not now a cathedral—the church where a bishop has his official see Or seat. In Rome it is the Lateran church dedicated to Christ the Savior, and in the second place to St. John Baptist, which holds this dignity. Hence the inscription which al! who go there may read, “Mother and Mis- tress of All Churches.” In the Later- an, not in St. Peter’s, the pontiff takes possession of his see; and in it the cardinal vicar holds ordinations, on Ember days. People use the word cathedral very loosely. But there is a grave error in describing St. Peter's as “the Cathedral of Christendom.” Had Dangerous Plaything. A fine afternoon for two children was spoiled the other day by a policeman who discovered them playing with dy- namite in a vacant lot in New York. When the policeman appeared the children fled. As they ran they dropped some of the playthings they had taken from a building under con- struction. The policeman found the playthings to be sticks of dynamite and percussion caps, used in blasting. The policeman chased the children to their homes and then made them pick up the dynamite and caps he hadn’t recovered and restore them to the place from which they had taken them. Character Told by the Fingers. When long fingers (with shorter palm) are knotted at the joints we find an extreme love for the minor parts of construction, whether it be in the building of a bridge or the end- less tasks pertaining to a kitchen. These persons are also logical, and not at all influenced by prejudice or gossip. They make our best house- keepers, for they are orderly; never caring how many little things they are called upon to do and generally doing them all well. As scholars they are good mathema- ticians, making our best accountants. Many times these hands are found upon doctors who have taken up some special branch of study and are mak- ing themselves masters of it. These are our specialists. * Habits of the Crocodile. Although the crocodile does not pos- sess lungs of extraordinary size, it can remain beneath water for any length of time. It has the power of hibernating as well. In many parts of India these creatures are buried, during the hot season, beneath the dried-up mud at the bottom of the lakes. The mud hardens above them and they stay thus buried in a torpid state for long periods. Many people express surprise after having tried many doctors and medicines to find quick relief in Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is surprising, but it is a surprise which is taking place every day. "Mr. Edward Jacobs, of Marengo, Craw- tord Co., Indiana, writes: “After three years of suffering with liver trouble and malaria I gave up all hopes of ever get- ting stout again, and the last chance was to try your medicine. I had tried all the home doctors and received but little relief. After taking three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and one vial of his ‘Pleasant Pellets’ I am stout and hearty. It is due entirely to your wonderful medicines.” CASTORIA Bears the signature of Chas.H.Fletcher. in use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought. To Close Door Noiselessly. In severe cases of illness where the patient is disturbed by the noise made in closing the door, tie one cor- ner of a handkerchief ar-und the kneb on one side of the doo:, and the opposite corner around the knob on the other side. The door will now close noiselessly on the folds of the handkerchief. “Newly Discovered Evidence.” “And here is some further evi dence.” “Better bury that.

Do You Know that Railroad Expansion Makes Work and Stimulates Industry? Money saved by the railroads flows back to the people. $2,000,000 paid annually by the railroads of Pennsylvania and New Jersey to unnecessary trainmen, forced upon them by the Full “excess man crew "—Laws, deprives the people of the big benefits and advantages this money, properly-expended, would Because the efficient development of the railway industry in these States is so materially identified with the prosperity of the farmer, business man, working man, and scores of more or less af- filiated industries, the railroads ask the people to help them save this huge amount—now absolutely wasted—that it may go to useful purposes and work toward restoration of general prosperity. This $2,000,000 spent for 80 locomotives, for example, would make one year’s work for 1745 men, as follows: In the locomotive shops In the various processes of producing the 29, 200, 000 pounds of material going into these locomotives, 851 men would Increased industrial activity swells passenger and freight traf- This means more trains and real work for additional crews.
