Bellefonte, Pa., October 25, 1018. ORVISTON. Orviston is having a tough time | just now. So many persons are fll. Mrs. Oscar Packer has been very ill | the past week but latest reports say she is getting better. Ida, a little daughter of Gilbert | Gillespie, is quite ill with cold and ton- : silitis, but has been reported as im- | proving nicely. | Charles Powell and Bren Nelson | are both suffering with Spanish influ- | enza. Mr. Nelson came home from a business trip quite ill. Roger B. Poorman is influenza and quinsy. He has been | called for military duty, but it will be | some time before he is fit. | Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bartlow spent Sunday with friends in Williamsport, and fonud quite a number of friends and relatives ill with influenza. Miss Jennie Walker, who had an at- tack of appendicitis, is able to be about but is still far from well and hearty, and is obliged to be very care- ful. Mr. and Mrs. William Jones are home from Wilkes-Barre. Baby Bill is the only one who looks better for the trip. He has improved wonder- fully. Robert B. Hume has been very inl with a heavy cold on his lungs and is being kept pretty quiet, as he is far from strong and the doctor fears any complications might prove serious in- deed. The wisest of our citizens are very busily engaged in fumigating their houses, boiling antiseptics and creso- lines to kill the “flu” germs. It cer- tainly is the best idea in the world. An ounce of prevention is always worth a pound of cure. Scarlet fever has appeared in our midst. The first to take it was Gre- tau Condo, little daughter of Ira Con- do. She is improving. Linda Kath- ryn Singer, a little daughter of Harry Singer, is also seriously ill with the fever in its worst form. Word has been sent the family of Gust Lomison that his son, Paul Lom- ison, now stationed at Camp Green- leaf, is very seriously ill of influenza. Some one started the report that “Zizzy,” as Paul is called, had died, but we are all glad to learn he is get- ting better instead. C. B. Page has information that a former clerk at the Orviston Supply company, Jake Zim- merman, now stationed, I believe, at Camp Lee, is also ill of the flu. i, LEMONT. A few of the children near Dale’s Summit have the chickenpox. _ There are a few cases of Spanish influenza near town, but none of them serious. Pearl Evey, of Bellefonte, spent a few days in town, at the home of her grand-parents. The schools of College township were opened again this week, after being closed for a week. Charles Thompson is moving his family from West Virginia to the old homestead here in town. The chestnut crop is the largest that we have had in many years, and they readily sell at a good price. James Johnston came in from his home at Belsano to visit at the home of his brother Ernest, for a few days. _ The fine weather this fall has been in favor of the farmers and already some of them are through husking corn. Ernest Johnston went to work in Lemont station last week, when they put two sets of men on to work on eight hour turns. Mrs. Willard Dale and daughter Luella are able to come home again, having about recovered from an at- tack of the Spanish influenza. The school board of College town- ship has changed Marian Dreese from the Lemont primary to the Lemont grammar; Lavan Ferree from Cen- tre Furnace to Lemont primary; Stella Bathgate from Pleasant View to Centre Furnace, and so far have partly decided to close Pleasant View school and have the pupils hauled to the Centre Furnace school. very ill with | PLEASANT GAP ITEMS. Ed. Wolfe has moved his family to Bellefonte. William Hile, of Ohio, spent the wee-end with relatives here. _ Abraham V. Miller, of Philadelphia, is visiting among friends here. Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Jodon left last week on a two weck’s visit to Pitts- burgh. Paul Heisey, who is employed at Harisburg, spent several days with his family here. Mr, and Mrs. Harry Twitmyer, of Pitcairn, visited over Sunday with the former’s mother. H. S. Russo, one of our former state police, now stationed at Greensburg, visited here last week. : Gilbert Noll, who had been serious- ly ill with Spanish influenza, is much improved at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Ramsey and children, of Harrisburg, are visiting .at the home of William H. Noll. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Kunes and «daughter Jean, of Blanchard, were Sunday visitors at the home of H. U. Hile. THE DAWN OF PEACE. Are we men or are we beasts? That we fight like blood crazed brutes. Not the lowly, nor the least, But the best men are recruits. Will the fighting never cease, While men live to fire and slay? Yes. For comes the dawn of peace, Ushering in a better day. When the nations of the earth Think of ALL, not each his good. When the child is, from his birth, Taught the worth of Brotherhood. SUSAN L. HARLACHER, ! of Hayes IVES L.

What becomes of the thousands up- on thousands of newspapers that are discarded by readers on street cars, railroads and in the homes? The question must naturally obtrude itself on the minds of many in the hurry- ing throngs to and from business who note the disorderly litter that collects at terminal stations. Waste newspapers are used almost exclusively in the manufacture of the cardboard or pasteboard which goes | to form the paperboard box in which dressmakers, shoemakers and depart- ment stores generally, deliver dress- es, suits, shoes, etc., and one of the largest factories in the United States | for the manufacture of this kind of | cardboard is located just outside of | Philadelphia on the Schuylkill river, | at Manayunk. | Long trains of cars may be seen at | Manayunk any day, loaded with bales | of waste newspapers, the collection of many cities, which have been as- sembled there for conversion into the | clean sheets of cardboard that will be used later for fashioning a box fit to hold my lady’s gown of daintiest chiffon or tulle. : The preliminary operation of un- packing the bales of material which have been put together by waste pa- | per dealers is not an agreeable oper- ation to witness. As the mixed news- papers refuse is sold by weight, waste paper dealers are not over careful in the sorting of the material, and tin cans and other heavy materials may be surreptitiously introduced at some stage of the process of packing the small bundles which are turned in by individual collectors of the material. If one can stand the choking dust that arises as bales are opened and sorted by the busy workers in the pa- perboard factory, and he watches the operation of unpacking, he will note the truly miscellaneous character of the contents of these newspapers of morning and afternoon editions, with all their embellishments of scare- heads in black and red, in compary with a miscellaneous assortment of paper material like carnival stream- ers, harlequid caps, confetti, empty fire cracker and all the other discard- ed paper waste of homes, stores an streets. ————————————————————— Very Foolish Husband. Mr. Babcock had just been telling his wife of an old friend. «And he said he knew me when I was a little girl?” interrogated the wife. ; “No,” said Babcock, “he didn’t say anything of the sort.” “But you just said he did,” said’ Mrs. Babcock. “No,” said the man, “1 didn’t.” “Why, Charles!” exclaimed the wife. “What did he say then?” «1 said,” replied the brute, “that he said he knew you when he was a lit- tle boy.” A Helpful Mistake. «What do you suppose has come over my husband this morning, So- phia,” exclaimed a conscientious lit- tle bride to the new servant. “I nev- er saw him start down-town so hap- © He's whistling like a bird!” “I'm afraid I'm to blame, mum.

Naturally the | enemy makes special efforts to pick off the officers. The ordinary per- centage of casualties among lieuten- ants is figured as one in fifty, on the basis of there being five lieutenants to a company. The percentage of killed among the lieutenants is much higher than this, and officers in the United States are inclined to believe that the conspicuous legging is one cause.” An officer of experience is quoted as saying that chevrons of non-com- missioned officers seem to be making corporals and sergeants distinctive targets. Though improvements have been made in rendering the non-com’s chevrons less conspicuous there is known to be “an unusually high per- Leather leggings for army officers are going to be forbidden in all over- sea service in the immediate future, and eventually abolished asa part of the officer’s uniform throughout the United States army, if the sugges- tions of experienced officers are adopted. These officers point to the govern- ment warnings against shortage of leather and the waste of it for pur- pose of elegance. But the big reason for banning the fancy brogans is told by the Army and Navy Journal like his: “The leather legging is extremely conspicuous, and makes it easy for the enemy to distinguish between offi- and the Swift “Wheel” What would you consumers think of a wheel without spokes ? What would yeu think of a man who would take any or a'l of the spokes out of a wheel to make it run better? Swift & Company's business of getting fresh meat to you is a wheel, of whic the packing plant is only the hub. Retail dealers are the rim-—and Swift & Company Branch Houses are the spokes. The hub wouldn't do the wheel much good and you wouldn't have much use for hub or rim if it weren't for the spokes that fit them all together to make a wheel of it. Swift & Company Branch Houses are placed, after thcrough investiga- tion, in centers where they can be successfully operated and do the most good for the most people at the least possible cost. Each “spoke” is in charge of a man who knows that he is there to keep you supplied at all times with meat, sweet and fresh; and who knows that if he doesn’t do it, his com- petitor will. How much good would the hub and the rim of the Swift “wheel” do you if the spokes were done away with?
