That Pleasant Gap girl who mar- ried mother’s darling boy has mighty little use for mother. The rain falls on the just and on the unjust, but that foxy guy, Charlie Stitzer, always carries an umbrella. Herbert Showers says he is under the impressioh that it's easier to keep your eyes open if you keep vour mouth shut. Wm. Kerstetter and Squire Herman have embarked in a new profession, that of crating furniture for people removing from the Gap. Butcher Keene, our progressive family butcher, slaughtered 118 hogs in twenty days during the season just closed. This is going some. Marriage will never be a failure as long as the supply of men holds out, so says Heck Griffith, storekeeper of the New Western Penitentiary. She has nowhere to go but a picture show— At least it was so the fair Katie said; | But I would if I might Suggest that at night She’d be far better off if she her bed. John Barnes, our milk man, has been laid up with a severe attack of the grip the past ten days. His vast de- livery is fortunately not suffering in the least, as his young and energetic son, Joe, is conducting the business with the same regularity as did the elder milk vender. There seems to be an uncontrollable craze among our young girls to take frequent trips to Bellefonte in the auto busses with a view of patroniz- ing the movie shows. The protests of the parents notwithstanding, go they will—even if their obstinacy is pre- vailed against by the ones who should know what is best for the erring ones. On an average of about thirty-six two-horse sledloads of wood, of the various grades, two cords to the load, are now being conveyed daily from the Greensvalley timber tracts to the Pleasant Gap P. R. R. depot. A, V. Miller's new development under the management of Mr. Brooks are also aging materially to the shipping pro- uct, George and Ward Showers, for a number of years employes of the White Rock Lime works, some weeks ago abondoned their positions with a view of bettering their condition. Af- ter looking over the outside field they evidently concluded that Pleasant Gap was good enough for hem, as they re- turned to work at the old plant Mon- day last. The Rev. McKechnie, our M. E. min- ister while on his vacation recently at Berwick was prevailed upon to fill five pulpits in that vicinity during his short stay. However as he went away from home for a brief rest he wisely declined all but two. Good men are always in demand but unfortunately their goodness is often overtaxed in conssengence of their willingness to do good. The slight slumps caused on account of a bunch of laborers leaving White- rock rather abruptly recently, is about adjusted, since new men apply almost daily for work and are speedily placed. The fact is that any reputable, capable man needing and wanting work can in- variably be accommodated. One trouble has been that men here heard of the fabulous prices being paid in Pitts- burgh, up the Monongahela valley, Akron and other points, and a few have made the change to their sorrow. It is true that when they arrived at their new destination they could se- went to cure eemployment at three and three ! the U. B. church at this place. All are invited to attend. Miss Madge Poorman returned home on Monday after spending some time with her brother, Carl Poorman, at Con- emaugh. SAYS HENRY DIDN'T NAME McADOO Big Bankers, Including Morgan and Vanderlip, Summoned by “Leak” Committee to Give Testimony. The peace note “leak” investi gating committee—the rules com mittee of the house of represen tatives—spent another session on Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, and then extended its field of inquiry by summoning J. P. Morgan, Henry P Davison, Frank AF. Vanderlip, So! Wexler and Arthur Lipper, all nation ally known bankers. The exact purpose of summoning these heads of the financial center was not disclosed. Lawson’s testimony was an amplifi cation of his sensational statement, in which the committee understood him to say that Representative Henry Democrat, of Texas, chairman of the rules committee, was the mysterious congressman who told him a cabinei member, a senator and a banker were engaged in a stock gambling pool, and that the cabinet member was the sec retary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo; that the banker was Pliny Fisk, and that the senator’s name be gan with “0.” Lawson declared his information came from another source, which he did not disclose. He declared emphat- ically Henry had not mentioned Mec Adoo’s name, and that the only names Henry had mentioned were those of Bernard Baruch, a Wall street opera: tor; Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, and Secretary of State Lansing. Henry, he said, repeated a rumor that the ambassador made $2, 000,000 in the market, and that Lan: sing and Baruch had conferences in New York. Archibald S. White, Law: son said, added to what he had heard about McAdoo’s alleged relations with Fisk. Mrs. Ruth Thomason Visconti, whe wrote Lawson a letter, offering infor mation, and later, he says, told him that Joseph P. Tumulty, the presi: dent’s secretary, and W. W. Price, one of the White House correspondents, profited by the “leak,” suddenly dis- appeared, and the sergeant-at-arms of the house, after making a fruitless search with a subpoena, reported he was unable to locate her. Members of the commwee said there were “ink lings that she had disappeared.” Tumulty, McAdoo. Price, Paul M. Warburg, of the federal reserve board, and others, who already have issued statements repudiating TLawson’s tes timony, were waiting to testify under oath. The committee had decided ta | give Lawson opportunity for full state. { ment. fifty a day, but at the end of a month | they discovered that owing to the ex- treme high cost of living at those points it would have been better for them to have remained at Whiterock, since the cost of living here isabout one-half, compared to large manufac- turing points. BOALSBURG. W. A. Murray, Esq., was a Belle- fonte visitor on Monday. Misses Ida and Mary Segner spent Saturday afternoon at State College. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Swartz returned from their wedding trip on Saturday. Miss Leona Allen was hostess at a birthday celebration on Tuesday even- ing.

Kunes and Miss Agnes Rheu, who are on the sick list, are im- proving slowly. Evangelistic services are in progress at Lawson said he and Henry agreed upon a statement to be given out by Henry after their conference, but that Henry presented only his side when he announced the statement. Referring to the Henry conference, Lawson shouted: “One or the other of us have com- mitted perjury—deliberate, rank per- jury. 3 “Unless your chairman said these things I'm a rank perjurer, unfit to be anywhere than outside the bars of a prison. “I say that if, word for word, the things I have told are not exact, then I ought to be nowhere outside a pris on.” Lawson's outburst came after he had faced intermittent objections to his line of testimony. He demanded that he be heard fully. Chairman Henry sat with his lips tight as the challenge sounded. Law- son added that .1e had suggested to Henry that the committee delve into matters in the street, running back several years. AGAINST DAYLIGHT SAVING In Alaska They Must Blindfold Chick: ens to Get Them to Roost. Residents of Alaska are opposed te the daylight saving plan. The New York daylight saving com: mittee, which is urging the adoption of the plan in this country, made pub- lic the following letter from the secre: tary of the Skagway Commercial club of Skagway, Alaska: “I regret to inform you that the residents of Skagway could not possi: bly co-operate with you in this move ment, from the fact that we would pre fer to turn the clock back in the sum: mertime, remembering that in the summer we have all day all night, with a few minutes at midnight that is call ed dawn. “Residents in the northerly part ot the Yukon report that there is sc much daylight there that it is neces sary to blindfold the chickens so they may go to roost.” Freezes in His Home.
