Bellefonte, Pa., April 9, 1920.
PLEASANT GAP.
Those who have had experience in
such matters say it’s hard to retain
the courage of your convictions after
your second or third conviction.
There is only one advantage—if
you call it an advantage—in the high
cost of food; the folks who run the
eating places can’t afford to go any-
where else to eat.
And when a man talks of high
prices and profiteering he has a sym-
pathetic audience numbering some
hundred millions or more, all of whom
know exactly what he is talking
about.
Qur efficient bus line has changed
its program, so far as the Gap is con-
cerned. We again detour by way of
the Smeltzer farm striking the state
road near the aviation field, and reach
Bellefonte via Bishop and Allegheny
streets. The contractors of our state
road expect to close up the pike
against traffic within ten days.
As a matter of fact the real work of
Congress seldom gets into the Record.
A good bill may be talked to death at
$60 per page—but it isn’t talk that
produces legislation; most of the or-
atory in Washington is Congressional
publicity. Half the speeches report-
ed at such tiresome length in the Rec-
ord ought to be labeled—*“Advertise-
ment.”
Since the past winter’s prolonged
severe cold weather proved quite det-
rimental to grape vines, and while it
is customary to prune the vines vig-
orously, it would be well under exist-
ing circumstances to go slow in de-
molishing the growing vines too
harshly. Spare the growing vines but
make a general clean-up of all the
dead wood.
S. W. Ripka, who has been the ten-
ant farmer on the Noll Bros. farm ad-
jacent to the mountain at the Gap, has
moved to the American Lime Co’s
farm between Pleasant Gap and Zion.
The farm is best known as the old
Andrew Swartz farm, but was later
owned by the late Mr. Coldren, from
whom it was purchased by the Amer-
ican Lime Co.
Many of the big preachers spend
the whole week forging gospel bolts,
which they hurl with great force over
the people’s heads on Sunday without
hitting a man. This is bad gunnery.
In fighting the devil and his legions
it is just as necessary to shoot low as
when fighting an ordinary battle.
There is not much use of preaching to
those who cannot hear.
There were only three families to
change their residence at Bush’s Ad-
dition. This limited number is ac-
counted for since nearly all who re-
side there are owners of their homes.
A few more movings occurred at Cole-
ville and Halfmoon Hill. It is said
that not one of the families changing
residences moved out of the county.
All seem satisfied with existing condi-
tions here.
The Whiterock Co. have excavated
the cellar of their new farm house in
course of erection to replace the one
destroyed by fire last fall. The new
house will be a brick one, and when
completed will be, according to plans,
a very comfortable and up-to-date
structure. Ellis Hile is the contrac-
tor. Farmer Sunday and family will
move back to the farm as soon as the
heuse is completed.
Peter Shuey and farmer Thomas
Williams went to the Koon sale in
Pennsvalley recently, and when re-
turning home upset Mr. Shuey’s little
Ford. The windshield was complete-
ly demolished and considerable dam-
age done to the top. Last fall Mr.
Shuey broke his forearm while crank-
ing his machine, the result was he was
unable to follow his vocation up to
this time, but expects to again go to
work in a week. Peter says there is
always one darn thing after another to
deprive a man from making an hon-
est living.
Harry Hockenberry and younger
son, of Nigh Bank, have gone to Ak-
ron, Ohio. They evidently want to
participate in the prolific payrolls of
the big rubber works being operated
there. A son and son-in-law went
there some weeks ago and report most
favorable conditions for workers who
are not afaraid of work. In some de-
partments as high as ten dollars a day
and time and a half for Sunday work
is being paid to employees, hence it is
not surprising that fabulous prices
are being asked for automobile tires '
and other products of the rubber pro-
ductions.
Mrs. Gehret, of Corry, Pa. was
at the Gap recently. She came here
with a view of attending her aunt’s,
Mrs. Maggie Raudenbush’s sale.
It may seem like a singular coinci-
dence, nevertheless it is true. Fifty
years ago the George Miller Sr. car-
pentering crew built the Humes barn
at the Gap; the barn and farm have
since merged to Noll Bros., the pres-
ent owners. The crew that built the
barn consisted of the following:
George Miller Sr., contractor; Levi A.
Miller, Lewis W. Miller, B. Sidney
Miller, John Stover, Scott Tate, and
Harvey Poorman. All with the ex-
ception of one have departed this life
and gone beyond. The only survivor
is Levi A. Miller, our tax collector,
who, on being interrogated said, “the
good die early.” It’s only a question
of time with all of us.
Some of our gardeners are begin-
ning to pay more attention to raising
strawberries than heretofore; this es-
pecially applies to the ever-bearing
varieties. Strawberries from June to
November seems to appeal to them.
A few years ago that would have
sounded like a fairy tale; a horticultur-
al phenomenon, contrary to the laws
of nature. The ever-bearing straw-
berry has been tested and proved a
prolific success. It has made good in
both commercial and home garden
planting all over the country. Since
the ever-bearers made their advent,
you can pick strawberries for five
months, instead of one. The Ameri-
cus and Progressive varieties seem to
be the leaders. The Progressive is an
enormously productive berry. The
first of June crop lasts over a period
of five weeks.

Don’t be Misled
Bellefonte Citizens Should Read and
Heed This Advice.
Kidney trouble is dangerous and
often fatal.
Don’t experiment with something
new and untried.
Use a tested kidney remedy.
Begin with Doan’s Kidney Pills.
Usad in kidney troubles 50 years.
A Bellefonte citizen’s statement
forms convincing proef.
It’s local testimony—it can be in-
vestigated.
Mrs. Elizabeth Shultz, Water St.,
Bellefonte, says: “Nothing has ever
done so much good in my family as
Doan’s Kidney Pills. Other members
of my family, as well as myself, have
been cured of kidney trouble by the
use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. I am
glad to recommend them.”

Gone is our little daughter,
With eyes of Heaven's blue,
And our hearts feel as deep a sorrow
As loving hearts e’er knew.
She came like a ray of sunshine
But all too brief her stay;
And dense was the gloom that followed
When the angels took her away.
And there we will meet her in heaven,
When the mists have rolled away.

Clothes may not
