George Gilbert Pond, Ph. D.
Dr. George Gilbert Pond, Ph. D., of
State College, passed away quite sud-
denly at eight o’clock last Thursday
evening, in Grace hospital, New Ha-
ven, Conn., of heart failure incident to
a sudden attack of pneumonia follow-
ing only two day’s illness. Dr. Pond
. went to Connecticut about a week pre-
| vious to his death on a matter of bus-
iiness and to visit his daughter, Miss
; Millicent Pond. He left home appar-
ently in full vigor of health but evi-
| dently contracted a cold and on Tues-
day evening developed pneumonia.
| He was promptly removed from his
| hotel to Grace hospital and every ef-
: fort made to check the course of the
| disease. But he rapidly grew worse
; and on Wednesday Mrs. Pond was no-
‘ tified by telegraph of his serious con-
"dition and she left State College at
once, reaching his bedside early on
| Thursday. Later the children were
| notified of their father’s very critical |
condition but by the time they reach-
{ ed New Haven he had passed away.
Dr. Pond had almost completed his
| thirty-second vear of service as pro-
| fessor of chemistry at State College.

A Rattler in the Cellar.
A few evenings ago when James
Bilger returned from his work at the
penitentiary to his home at Pleasant
Gap he found his wife in a condition
of wild excitement over the fact that
there was a big rattle-snake in their
cellar which had bitten their cat, and
was keeping up a continuous noise
with its rattles. Now Jim is rather
a courageous fellow and had seen rat-
tlers on former occasions. So light-
ing a lantern he decided to investi-
gate. He opened the cellar door and
‘was just starting down the cellar
steps when he got the jar of his life.
The rattler had taken refuge on a
beam and when Mr. Bilger started
down the steps it either fell off or
gave a snake jump, at any rate it first
lit on Mr. Bilger’s shoulder then
dropped to the cellar floor. This was
a little too much for even a brave man
and Mr. Bilger called for his neigh-
bor, Dick Packer, and the two of
them ransacked the cellar thoroughly
but his snakeship had disappeared and
no trace of him could be found.

"Why Change Your Wife?”
The super special photo play which
has created so much favorable com-
ment wherever it has been shown, is
scheduled to be shown at the Pastime
Theatre, State College, Friday and
inees daily at two o’clock. This is a
Cecil B. DeMille production dealing
intimately upon the greatest problem
of love and marriage. It is lavishly
staged and powerful in its appeal. It
is as rich and splendid as anything
that has ever been shown upon the
screen. A notable cast headed by
Thomas Meighan, Gloria Suanson and
Bebe Daniels give a wonderful por-
trayal. This picture is now on its

“For five years this land has been

Brig. Gen. Alfred Burt, of the Brit-
ish military mission, writing at Riga
under date of February 3, says:
“Captain Orbison has done wonder-
ful work at Letvia, not only in bring-
ing happiness to children and others
in want, but also in organizing this
splendid relief work which has proved
such a great weapon against Bolshe-
vism.
“He suggests a scheme for further
defeating this world threat by means
of food supplies, and propaganda of
the same. I quite agree with his sug-
gestion and feel that none could ar-
range and see this plan through bet-
ter than Captain Orbison himself.”
Destructive Hail Storm in Little Nit-
tany Valley.
Young onions were beaten flat and
practically destroyed, rhubarb riddled
as if with shot, cherries and other
small fruit pelted from the trees and
all spring vegetables either destroyed
or given a serious set-back by a ter-
rific hail storm that swept through a
part of Little Nittany valley last Fri-
day afternoon.
It covered a path about a mile wide
finally expending its fury before it
swept over the mountain about Sny-
dertown. Not in years have they had
such a storm in the vicinity of Jack-
sonville.

Prisoners Associate With Chickens.
The “Watchman” is in receipt of the
annual report of the Pennsylvania
Prison Society in which is noted the
fact that during the year 1919 the so-
ciety’s secretary, Albert H. Votaw,
visited all of the jails in the sixty-sev=-
en counties in the State. His visit to
i the Centre county jail was made on
August 21st, 1919, and his report
thereon is as follows:
“Four prisoners were found, three
- of whom were being detained for trial,
“The average daily population in
1918 was 102%.
“For boarding prisoners the sheriff
receives fifty cents (per day).
“Total expenses for provisions
1918, $1,943.
“Other expenses in 1918, $1,690.
“Expense for convicts in other
| prisons, $10,153.
“They are supplied with sufficient
| bedding, except sheets.
“All day long the prisoners, unless
| by chance they have a lunatic or a
| dangerous criminal, have the freedom
{ of the corridor and a small yard,
i which they share with the chickens.
| “It costs the county forty dollars to
i prepare the annual report for the
Board of Public Charities.
“The arrangements for segregating
the men from the women are unsatis-
‘ factory.
“A better skylight is needed.
“Prisoners have been employed in
‘ mowing the court house lawn and in
. gangs, under the care of the son of
| the sheriff, have worked on the roads.
“The effort to find employment is
| commended, but the prison should be
; condemned as an institution to which
' men may be sentenced for thirty days
| or more.”

Christian Endeavor Rally.
A very successful district Christian
' Endeavor rally was held in the Unit-
ed Brethren church at Yarnell last
| Thursday evening. Rev. George E.
{ Smith, pastor of the Bellefonte Unit-
ed Brethren church, and who is the
| district president, presided. Musical
| selections were rendered by the Hous-
yerville male quartette, the Woomer
| sisters, of Axe Mann, and Mrs. Haa-
gan, of Yarnell.
| J. A. Dale, of Lemont, president of
| the Houserville society, gave a very
instructive talk on the value of com-
| mittees in young people’s societies.
' “Resolved, That the social life of our
i young people is as important as the
| spiritual” was the subject of a red hot
| debate in which the affirmative was
| taken by Prof. A. P. Ringler and Roy
{ H. Grove, and the negative by John R.
| Schreck and Harry P. Leathers. The
judges were Rev. L. C. McHenry, J.
Ed. Confer and Horace E. Corman,
who decided in favor of the negative.
. A song composed by James H.
Schreck, of Lemont, vice president of
, the district, was sung by the Houser-
‘ville society and was enthusiastically
received. The roll call of attendance
showed thirty-seven from Bellefonte,
thirty-four from Houserville, twenty-
eight from Yarnell, nineteen from
Valley View, eight from Pleasant
Valley, five from Runville and four
from Fairview.
The next rally will be held at Para-
dise on the evening of June 8th. Ar-
rangements are now under way to se-
cure a special train over the Belle-
fonte Central railroad to Waddle and
