RHODES — PARKER. — On Thursday
morning of last week Harrison Rhodes,
of Port Matilda, and Miss Blanche Par-
ker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William
Parker, of Northwood, near Tyrone,
the penitentiary and State College.
Returning they will pass through
Bellefonte and go to Clearfield by
way of Snow Shee.
The above map will show the routes
of the three different trips the Gov-
ernor expects to make in three suec-
cessive weeks.
i ain
At the district firemen’s con-
vention in Clearfield Wednesday D.
Paul Fortney, of this place, was
elected one of the vice presidents and
Jersey Shore was selected as the
place of meeting next year.
Automiblists, Beware.
If any Bellefonte automobilists have
been using state highway route No. 58,
running from Bellefonte to Lock Haven
through Nittany valley, to speed on they
had better desist in the future. A state
constabulary. either has been put on pa-
trol duty there or will be ina few days
whose especial duty it will be to break
up the speeding practice on this piece of
highway. ies
——William Burnside this week pur-
chased the large brick hoisting stack
out at the Bellefonte furnace, the last
remnant of Bellefonte’s two iron fur-
naces. The stack is 22x20 feet in size
and one hundred feet high, and contains
many thousand brick. Mr. Burnside
will proceed at once to tear it down and
will sell the brick and old iron used in
its construction.
——Bellefonte police officers received
word on Sunday that Elmer Bickle, the
nine year old son of Edward Bickle, jani-
tor at the Y. M. C. A, was lost and they
were asked to help locate him. The boy
had been working for the tenant on the
Kohlbecker farm and had disappeared
on Sunday evening. An inquiry was
set a foot and in the afternoon it was
learned that the boy had been at the Lu-
cas home at the foot of the mountain
along the Snow Shoe railroad. The
search was taken up there and the lad
was finally found at Butts station. In-
quiry elicited the fact that the boy had
gone out after the cows and got up to
Snow Shoe Intersection, without know-
ing where he was. He was picked up by
an automobile and taken to the foot of
the mountain to the Milligan Lucas
home, where the first trace of him was
gotten. In justice to the boy it can be
said that he did not run away but likes
his home with Arthur Hull and family
very much.
P. O. S. of A. Picnic.
The eleventh annual picnic under the
auspices of the P. 0. S. of A. will be
held at Hecla park on Labor day, Mon-
day, September 4th. The Germania
orchestra, of Lock Haven, has been
secured to furnish music for dancing
during the entire day. A game of base-
ball between teams representing Lock
Haven and Mill Hall will take place at
two p. m., and will be one of the many
attractions provided by the committee.
Special trains will run to suit the con-
venience of the crowd. The public is
invited to attend.
Busy Mr. Hughes.
From the Springfield Republican.
The President these days could not
find time to reply to Mr. Hughes, if he
desired to. All Mr. Hughes has to do,
after six years of retirement and ju-
dicial claim, is to throw bricks at an
opponent who cannot even get an arm
free—so heavy is the burden he is
carrying.

Dogs of War in Holland.
Dogs have always been used in the
low countries as the motive power for
light carts and in towing ships in the
canals. Now a special variety of ma-
chine-gun dog of war is being bred,
resembling the Eskimo dogs in their
vitality and high spirits. They keep
cheerful and efficient long after the
human machine has yielded to fa-
tigue. —National Geographic Maga-

PEACE BASED ON TERRORISM
Roman Legions Enforced Order on the
Nations They Had Conquered
and Laid Waste.

' There is a great deal of misappre-
| hension and misinterpretation of the
‘historical settings of the coming of
Jesus. The age is described as an age
of peace, peace throughout the world
under the imperial sway of Rome.
There was peace in the sense that all
kingdoms had been subdued by Rome
and attached to her empire. This was
‘the wonderful “Pax Romana.” But
among the millions of souls who made
up that empire there was anything
but peace. Cruelty and oppression
reigned. Half the population of the
empire was slaves. :
Scholars point out the fact that
Rome had extended her empire, not
by destroying the nations, but by link-
ing their wealthy families with Rome,
thus establishing a community of in-
terest against the poor people and the
slayes, whose toil enriched this aristo-
cratic, plutocratic minority. It was a
league of all the rich people. in the
world against all the poor people in
the world. The poor lived in constant
fear of the rich, and the rich lived in
constant fear of the poor. Insurrec-
tions were taking place in all parts
of the empire. But the masters had
the Roman legions at their disposal,
and by the power of arms kept the

In Time of Danger Woman's Thoughts
Turned to the Favorite Weapon
of Her Sex.
Training in any line of endeavor is
indisputably a good thing, of course.
But it is not always utilized. A case
in point is related in Boston. In that
city a society of women had taken a
course of lessons in pistol shooting
under the supervision of a feminine
expert who has in recent months taught
to many society women the use of this.
lethal weapon. :
It was the purpose of the Boston
woman to be able to defend herself
and her home in case of attack by
burglar or burglars. After becoming
an expert pistol shot she provided her-
self with a pretty gold-mounted pistol
which she kept in her dressing table,
Recently she discovered a robber in
her home. :
“I forgot all about the pistol,” she
said, “and so I used a hatpin.”
The robber fled after receiving sev-
eral painful wounds. Thus habit pre-
vailed over training, as it so frequent-
ly does. But training is more or less
valuable, even though in times. of
stress it occasionally is forgotten in a
reversion to the primitive.
Gray in Shorthand.
“Efficiency has been getting the
laugh of late because its engineers
claimed too much for it.”
The speaker was Dr. Harris Dulles
Rhodes, the efficiency expert of Den-
ver.
“Yes,” he continued, “the average
efficiency engineer bragged as stupids
ly about efficiency as the correspond-
epce school principal who said:
“‘We are told, and credibly told,
that it took Gray seven years to write
his, famous poem, ‘The Elegy in a
Country Churchyard.’ Yet if Gray had
been an adept in our system of stenog-
raphy he could have written the piece
in seven minutes. Every graduate stu-
dent of ours can write the poem in
that length of time. It’s one of our
tests.’ ”
Gypsies Dislike Military Service.
When a woman gypsy caravan dwel-
ler of Tottenham was summoned at
Enfield police court for aiding in the
concealment of her son, who had failed
to report for military service, it was
stated by the police that they had had
considerable difficulty in getting at
male gypsies of military age belong-
ing to the Tottenham colony. The men
frequently produced registration cards
which were not their own, and even
marriage certificates belonging to oth-
ers.
The defendant’s son, who was un-
married, had never been registered.
When the police found him in the
caravan he ran away, and was only
captured after a long chase. The de-
fendant was fined $10. The money
was paid at once.~London Mail

The Emancipated Farmer.
From the Allentown Democrat.
Coincident with establishment of
the farm loan board under the rural
credits act, comes information that in-
vestors are gobbling greedily all of
the farm mortgages they can grab.
Bankers describe this as “an out-
standing feature of the financial situ-
ation.”
High grade mortgages that were
sold a year ago on a 6 per cent basis
now command 5 per cent, the farmer
pocketing the other 1 per cent.
The farmer who in recent years
had to beg on his bended and cal-
loused knees for money to carry on
farming operations is suddenly be-
come the one best bet of the man
with means.
But it took federal legislation to
bring the bankers and investors to
their senses!
