PLEASANT GAP.
What is home without a box of
tacks.
Mrs. Harry Hockenberry, of Nigh
Bank, left for Akron, Ohio, last week,
expecting to make that her permanent
home for a year or two, at least.
Prof. Harry Breon, Pleasant Gap’s
efficient grammar school teacher has
moved to his farm, adjacent to the
Gap, recently purchased from Eph-
riam Kelley. If Harry makes as much
of a success at farming as teaching it
will not be long until he will own a
second farm.
Mrs. Frank Britz and baby girl, of
Woodlawn, spent a week at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Noll, and will
also visit at State College for a few
days before returning home. Mrs.
Britz will be better known here as the
former Ethel Fatkin, who made her
home from infancy at State College
and the Gap.
Prof. Gramley held his High school
examination last week, and out of
fourteen applicants from our gram-
mar school twelve passed. Fourteen
of the present term pupils weic car-
ried over for the next term—this will
make a total of twenty-six for the
next session—the largest class for our
High school we have ever had.
As usual our Methodist congrega-
tion sent their minister, Rev. Piper,
to the M. E. conference recently in
session at Harrisburg, with a clear
financial record. It is a great comfort
when you can say you owe nobody;
that all your financial obligations are
liquidated. This looks quite commen-
dable for our Methodist brethren.
While at times, owing to the extreme
high cost of living, the situation is
embarrassing, and looks dark, dismal
and gloomy, but with a determination
to win, and a vigorous pull, our con-
gregation always comes out with a
clear and reputable record. They are
proved financiers as well as accredit-
ed soul-savers.
Since our state road officials have
taken over the Pleasant Gap hotel and
opened well regulated offices, the ho-
tel is filling up with state road men
to such an extent that the transient
trade will be obliged to look for ac-
commodations elsewhere. A limited
number of employees have begun
work and new accessions are being
added daily. The wages paid, it is
understood, for common labor, is 40
cents an hour. Taking into consider-
ation that men can work from ten to
twelve hours daily during the sum-
mer months, employees can do about
as well working on the state roads as
elsewhere. Men wanting and need-
ing employment can here be accommo-
dated, with remunerative pay.
Professor Gramley’s High school
class had a very enjoyable time a few
evenings ago. The professor has a
reputation for progressiveness, and
conceived the idea that it would be the
proper thing for him to do to have all
his pupils spend an evening at his pa-
latial home at Rebersburg. Three
large autos were secured and twenty-
one eager pupils were driven to the
professor’s home, and a jolly good
time was the result. After a series of
innocent games were indulged in a
superb lunch followed, all of which
was highly enjoyed by the numerous
participants. As proof positive that
the event was one that will be long
remembered, the jolly crew did not
reach home until 4 a. m. the following
morning. The boys and girls were de-
lighted and say it was the event of
their life.
If woman would she could make her
sphere in life wonderful, cozy and
comfortable. Some do, but a great
many do not. She can best do this by
making her home a little paradise,
herself playing the part of an angel.
It isn’t necessary that she should
have wings to be an angel, only that
she should have a clear conception of
what is necessary to make home
pleasant, agreeable and attractive.
Her sphere is defined and located by a
single word—home. Women ove nat-
urally suspicious, yet the most gulli-
ble creatures in the world. They are
always on the lookout for gnats and
are constantly swallowing camels.
And yet they get along right well—
by the aid of man. If women would
just let up on this sphere business
and set themselves to that for which
they are best fitted, and which their
hands and hearts find to be done, they |
would achieve more for themselves
and the greater blessings to the world.
Some there are, and some there ever
will be, to find fault and rail against
man. However, women are indispen-
sable, and we need them in our life’s |
career.
I sometimes think I would like to
live in China, where doctors are em-
ployed to keep their patients well—
grinding them into yielding, quiver-
ing flesh. Vegetable growths are ty-
ranical in their way, and the very
stars seek to rule each other. The
word itself is rather hateful to a civ-
ilized and intelligent people, but Dar-
win overcame that by using the ex-
pression, “survival of the fittest.” It
is but a synonym for tyranny. The
disposition for one man to take ad-
vantage of another is just as natural
as for one dog to snatch a bone from
another. It is through fear only that
one dog is restrained from robbing
every other dog. So with low cast :
humanity. The savage snatches
everything he can get his hands on,
regardless of the rights of the owner.
He is only restrained by fear of pun-
ishment. The thief who depends on
pilfering for a livelihood is only kept
from stealing everything he sees
through fear of being caught. This
merely goes to show that a great
many only lack the opportunity to be-
come regular freebooters; they may
rot know that they are thieves and rob-
bers, and if an opportunity is not af-
forded for developing the latent dis-
position they may never know it and
die honest and respected. In some the
disposition to take undue advantage,
and to get that which belongs to
another, without an equivalent, is so
strong that it crops out in their busi-
ness transactions. If caught at it,
they are sometimes denounced as ras-
cals, but oftener pointed out as
shrewd, sharp business men. This is
one of the fashionable forms of tyr-
any. The tyrant has a grip on his
victim, and will not relax it until he
has squeezed all the gold out of him
he can. Moreover, he delights in
making his victim feel that he is at
his mercy. He may not do this in a
particularly offensive way, yet he does
it. The victim may be humble, kiss
the hand that throttles him, and pay |
homage to the fellow-creature that |
lords it over him. He may cry out |
against tyrany and oppression in |
bitterest tones; swear by all the gods |
that if he were in that man’s place he |
would make the hearts of his subjects
glad, and all that sort of thing. IL,
perchance, the wheel of fortune stops
at his niche in the great living wall,
does he cling to his benevolent ideas?
Does he use his influence and means to
make the burden of the downcast |
lighter, to lift the prostrate to their
feet, and to bring prosperity to those
who, like himself, had a hard battle
with the world? Occasionally, or:
probably only semi-occasionally. He!
soon gets into the habit of walking |
over the heads of the common herd,
gathering where he has not sown, and
dispensing favors where they are
likely to bring the largest and quick-
est return. The under dog in the
fight howls and whines, and begs for
quarter until it gets on top, then it
growls and chews, and tears with a’
vengeance, never once thinking, much
less caring, for the pain and injury it
is inflicting on the other dog.
A Worse Fate in Store.
An unhappily married Scot was met
by a friend who said, “Man, Jamie,
this is an awful thing that has befal-
len you. It's a great pity that your
wife has gone and left you.”
“Deed man,” quoth Jamie, “she’ll
dae waur than that yet.”
“What waur can she do than that?”
“She’ll come back again,” replied
Jamie ruefully.

Expected a Prize.
“Where are you going with that
miserable-looking dog, Johnny?”
“Takin’ him to the dog show.”
“But you can’t win a prize with
him.”
“Well, maybe they’ll give me a spe-
cial prize for showing the kind of dog
that no dog ought to be.”
MEDICAL.
A Safe Test
For those who are in need of a rem-
edy for kidney troubles and backache,
it is a good plan to try Doan’s Kidney
Pills. They are strongly recommend-
ed by Bellefonte people.
Mrs. J. F. Thal, 23 N. Thomas St,
Bellefonte, says: “I suffered with
backache and severe pains through
my kidneys. I had headaches and
dizzy spells when I first got up in the
morning and my kidneys acter irreg-
ularly. My attention was called to
Doan’s Kidney Pills and I heard of so |
many being benefitted by ther use |
that I procured a box atthe Green |
Pharmacy Co. That one box removed
the backache. The headaches and |
dizzy spells left and my kidneys be-
came regular and I felt better in every |
way. I cheerfully recommend Doan’s
to any one who suffers as I did.”
(Statement given October 19, 1916.
On October 18, 1918, Mrs. Thal
said: “I am very glad to confirm my
former endorsement of Doan’s Kidney
not to kill them after they are sick.
So many doctors are too learned to |
live. Turn which way you will, some- |
thing unforseen turns up. Fate seems |
to have a hand in it all. Starting out |
in life full of enthusiasm, generous,
affectionate, and kindness, sensitive to
a fault, and the soul of honor, what |
are your chances for success as com- |
pared with those possessed of a mean
and polite nature? In the end they
will roll around in a carriage while
the vicious will go to the grave with
the life crushed out before its time.
If the mind is at ease the whole man
may be comfortable, but if not there
is no rest for him. It is impossible for
the mind to rest when the body is far
from being comfortable. Unrest set-
tles all classes. Those possessed of
sensitive minds feel it more than those
who are dull, while the finely formed
and well-developed usually suffer
more from physical unrest than the
more ungainly. No matter where you
find some types of mind they are sour
and discontented. They may have
fabulous wealth at their command
and the world of pleasure at their
feet, yet their skies are clouded, their
pillows uncomfortable and their path-
Way narrow.
There is no doubt in my mind that
many men are born tyrants. Ani-
mals, from the smallest to the great-
est are unquestionably tyrants, Wom-
en wear iron heels and delight in
Pills. Today I am a well woman and
to recommend Doan’s is a pleasure.”

State College to Limit Freshman time that the applicant has fully met
Class to 750. our entrance requirements. Also, we
shall find it necessary to turn away
all applicants from outside of Penn-
sylvania, unless their parents or
guardians are tax payers in the State.
It is only fair that this be done, as the
college is supported by State funds.
We are trusting that the time will
soon come when additional facilities
will enable us to care for all Pennsyl-
vania boys and girls who desire to
come to State College.”
A Freshman class of 750 next fall
will bring the college enrollment of
four-year students up to more than
3200, the largest number ever hand-
led at Penn State. A few more than
500 will have been graduated through
the mid-year convocation and com-
mencement this year, but the incom-
ing Senior class of 813 will more than
replace the number thus lost.
Only 750 new students can be ad-
mitted to the Freshman class of Penn
State next September, according to an
nouncement made by Dr. Edwin E.
Sparks, president of the college. This
action has been taken by the board of
trustees, in view of the fact that the
college is now crowded beyond capaci- |
ty with almost 3000 four-year course
students.
“As a matter of fact,” says Dr.
Sparks, “Penn State could well afford
to refrain from taking any new stu-
dents next year, from the standpoint
of existing facilities. We now have
813 Juniors, exactly the same number
of Sophomores, and 856 Freshmen.
Next year, that total of 2482 students
would mean comfortable conditions
for the college without admitiing
more. But we cannot overlook the
fact that thousands of Pennsylvania
boys and girls are clamoring for a
higher education, and this being a tax- |
supported institution, we must admit !
as many as possible. :
“We would not be surprised if we
should be forced to turn away up-
wards of 1000 applicants next fall. |
Last year, 650 had to be turned away |
due to lack of accommodations. We
are also compelled to insist that no
reservations be requested until such

This is all that Swift & Com-
pany’s profit cost the average
American family in 1919.
Here are the figures and author-
ities for them.
The average consumption of
meat per person for a year is about
180 pounds (U. S. Government).
The average American family is
41/, persons (U. S. Census).
Swift & Company’s profit from
all sources in 1919 averaged less
than 4 cent per pound on all
products including meat.
This averages for the family less than the
price of=—
1 cigar per week for father, or
1 street car fare per week for mother, or
1 package of gum per week
for the children.
The complex service which we
| furnish the public is efficient and
economical. The cost to the public
in the shape of profit is too small to
be noticeable in the family meat bill.
