CENTRE COUNTY HAS DESCENDENTS OF
THE FAMOUS HERD.—For the past week
eastern daily papers have been giving
much space to pictures and the story of
the killing of the herd of famous Guern-
sey cattle on the farm of Hon. E. T. Gill,
Haddon Farms, N. J. The herd compos-
ed 142 animals and was valued at more
than $50,000.00. Notwithstanding every
precaution taken to guard it from infec-
tion from the hoof and mouth disease the
herd became infected and every animal
was killed.
This herd included many advanced
register cows and was regarded as prob-
ably the finest dairy strain in America.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger, of Sun-
day, had the following to say of several
of the more notable animals in the herd:
The principal animal of the herd is the:
famous 16-year-old prize bull Glenwoods
Main Stay, the value of which cannot be
ascertained, as Mr. Gill in the past has
refused to consider even the most tempt-
ing offers to sell. Other famous animals
include the prize cows Elbrons Glen-
wood, of Haddon, holder of records for
milk and butter production; the two fine
prize bulls Glenwoods Royal and Glen-
woods Main Stay, 33d, as well as many
more.
The entire herd was bred by Mr. Gill,
who many years ago imported a few
pure-bred animals from the Isle of
Guernsey, from whom the present stock
is directly descended. Breeding experi-
ments resulting in the raising of a dis-
tinct stock, which eventually has become
famed and known as the Glenwoods.
It may be interesting to lovers of fine
stock in this section to know that “Fear-
less Boy,” No 22216, owned by Geo. R.
Meek, is a direct descendent of the fa-
mous bull above mentioned. He is from
the Glenwood and Langwater strains, the
very best combination in American breed-
ing of Guernseys. With this high bred
bull and the two heifers “Snowdrop of
Les Merriennes” No. 45972, and Don-
ington Giddy 2nd which Mr. Meek im-
ported from the Isle of Guernsey two
‘years ago, he has the nucleus upon
which he hopes to develop a fine herd of
pure bred Guernseys.
+ It is not Mr. Meek’s intention to raise
fancy cattle as a business. He merely
wants a good herd on his own farm and
incidentally, to raise the strain in the
county as much as is possible, selling to
those who may want them such calves as
are dropped by these registered animals
as are not needed in the building up of
his herd. He has now two splendid bull
calves, about six ‘weeks old ‘that he is
willing to part with at $25.00 each,
though the professional breeders are ask-
ing from $40 to $100 for animals of less
superior breeding. Should anybody wish
to improve their stock by the acquisition
of one of these pure bred Guernseys here
‘is an opportunity not often afforded.

PrizZE
C. T. U. prize-essay contest was held last
Friday afternoon in the High school au-
ditorium, with a good audience present,
who listened with rapt attention to the
ten remarkably clever essays on the now
much-discussed subjects of alcohol and
tobacco and their harmfulness to the hu-
man body, mind and soul. The program
opened with delightful music by the High
school orchestra to the strains of which
the ten contestants marched in single file
to the platform. These were Sophia
Houser, Deborah Lyon, Nellie Hunsinger,
Julia Waite, Frances Willard, Regina
Brandman, Eleanor Bower, Mary Royer,
Earle Garbrick and Russell Rider.
Their essays had been chosen, as Prof.
Whiting announced, as the best from
about a hundred written, which should
be very gratifying indeed to these young
contestants. The Bellefonte’ Womans’
Christian Temperance Union ‘each year
awards ten dollars in gold for the prizes— |
five dollars to the best boy writer and
five dollars to the best girl contestant. At
this year’s contest Mrs. Robert Beach,
Prof. Sloop and Mr. Arthur Dale acted
as judges and while out making their de-
cision the High school orchestra again
played delightfully. When the judges re-
appeared Prof. Whiting announced the
winners as Miss Sophia Houser and Rus-
sell Rider. The prizes will be given
them at commencement time when all
the prizes of the school year are an-
nounced and bestowed upon the respec-
tive winners. Miss Houser’s essay was
on Alcohol and Tobacco and Russell
Rider’s on Alcohol and the Laborer.
The latter follows in full:
ALCOHOL AND THE LABORER.
; Alcona is a colorless, inflammable lig-
uid.
When a man takes a drink he has in-
jured himself in some way. :
Once laborers thought that liquor pro-
duced a reserve energy, and a healthy
stimulation that caused them to work
with renewed vigor. Now-a-days this
ignorant and harmful thought toward
liquor by working people has been sup-
planted by the reverse conception of it.
In the last few years labor unions and
employers have been working together to
abolish the use of liquors by working-
men.
Industry is commencing to open its
eyes to the fact that liquor is its most
dreadful and dangerous enemy. The
most dangerous.enemies of the working-
men are the hotel bars, saloons, and res-
taurants. If a man drinks while on duty
he will, of course, lose complete control
of himself and will not be capable of run-
ning powerful machinery,
Some of the kindest hearted people
are the ones that use alcohol When
some men are sober they would do any-
thing, if it lay in their power for you.
Some of the great evangelists and minis
ters are men who have gone through the
ordeal and some were the worst kind of
drinkers.
Brotherhood - of Locomotive Engineers,
perhaps the most powerful Union in the
world, said: “Every true friend of the
workingman will vote against the saloon,
| every time he gets a chance, and net only
close it on Sunday but every day of the
week.”’
Twenty labor unions of the United.
States, with a total membership of 179,
925, which furnish to their members aid
in case of sickness, provide by their rules
that where sickness or injury is the re-
sult of drunkenness, the member effected
shall not beentitled to such aid. Likewise,
the rules of the Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin workers of the United States pro-
vide that when a man loses his job
through intoxication, no steps shali be
taken to reinstate him. Nobody realizes
more than the labor unions the effect of
alcohol on the workingman.
How many disasters on land and sea
are caused by alcohol? Nearly three-
fourths of them are due to the use of als
cohol.
The United States Navy Department
forbids the use of alcohol among their
employees. The Anchor, White Star,
Hamburg-American steamship lines, also
forbid the use of alcohol while on duty,
either afloat or ashore.
The workingmen comprise the most
population and they are the largest
patrons of the saloon His family, his
employers, and his companions are slowly
making him realize the terrible mistake
he is making in drinking. Many thous-
and people from all over the United
States met at Washington to talk over
the Anti-Saloon question and try to pass
it through the Hous? of Representatives,
but all in vain. Much of this has to do
with the workingman. He will vote for
a man who is in favor of having liquor
and this is where he makes a great mis-
take. Pennsylvania is the worst State
in the Union for the sale of liquor. For
this reason it is called, “The Blacksnake
State.” When the brain of a workman
is affected he is liable to do anything,
even though it were to his fellow work-
man. These men could be made pure
if they would only leave the curse of.
liquor alone. If a man would only con-
sider the importance of this Anti-Saloon,
question liquor would be abolished in a’
very short time.
If a laborer would save the money
that he spends for alcohol, he could start
a bank account. .
Looking at the liquor question from a
monetary stand-point, the employers of
laboring men are prohibiting the use of
alcoholic drinks among their employees,
for they realize that skilled labor of the
present age demands clear thinking and
concentration of mind. If a railway tow-
erman holding in his power the lives of
hundreds of passengers, loses his nerve
and becomes blindly confused because of
alcoholic dissipation, he is a menace both
to the company and to the people.
It has been found that,of “forty-nine rail-
roads in the United States, twenty require
total abstinence, on or off duty; two de-
clared that they would not employ a
drinker if they were aware of the fact;
nineteen preferred teetotalers when they
were promoting, and eight absolutely for- |
bade the frequenting of saloons under
penalty of dismissal.” = Also a rule of the
American Railway Unions requires, “Ab-
stinence on or off duty, and the avoidance
of saloons.” Mr. Carrol D. Wright, Unit- |
ed States Comonissioner of Labor, asked
6976 employers of the country whether
| upon hiring new men they took into con.
‘sideration the liquor habit. Out of the
Mr. P. M. Arthur, president of the | Kru
RR
total there were 5363 who declared that
sideration. Commercial concerns. of to-
day hire men for the money-making pow-
er thatis in them. Therefore, when the
| workers become industrially worthless
! through liquor drinking, they are cast ;
| aside for more efficient workmen, or for ;
| water drinkers in fact.
i One of the mostattractive features of a
| saloon is, a man can buy a glass of whisky
! or beer and then eat all the cold lunch he
{ wants. Theonly remedy for a man going
to a saloon will be the establishment of
decent, attractive community centers
where the workingman may enjoy very
: cheaply the best of concerts, shows, and
| other entertainments. The time is com-
| ing when the whole world will be total
| abstainers. A big temperance movement
|
| predict the huge strides that the laborer
; will take by the next century?
! CosTLY FIRE AT STATE COLLEGE.—On
| Tuesday morning the handsome resi-
dence of A. H. Espenshade, on Beaver
avenue, State College, was partially de-
stroyed by fire. The fire was discovered
on the roof of the house about 7.15
o'clock and it had gotten such a start
{that although the firemen responded
| promptly the upper story of the house
{ was burned before the flames could be
checked. Most of the household goods
(on the first and second floors were re-
| moved, but at that Mr. Espenshade
| estimates his loss at $10,000. on which
; there is a partial insurance.
