Pemorraiic aici, Bellefonte, Pa, June 18, 1920. Country Correspondence Items of Interest Dished Up for the Delectation of “Watchman” Read- ers by a Corps of Gifted Correspondents. PINE GROVE MENTION. Mrs. J. Will Kepler spent Wednes- day on a shopping trip to Tyrone. Mrs. W. H. Goss, who has been quite ill the past week or so, is now somewhat improved. The ladies of the Lutheran church cleared $74.00 at their refreshment stand on Saturday evening. C. L. Goodling, superintendent of farms at State College, is entertain- ing his parents, of York, Pa. Mrs. Margaret Dale and baby boy, Jack Rutherford, are visiting Mrs. Dale’s parental home in Altoona. The venerable Alexander Everhart, of Altoona, was in town on Saturday, the guest of ’Squire D. W. Miller. J. Sumner Miller and wife, of Pleas- ant Gap, motored up on Saturday and spent the evening among old friends. Mrs. W. E. Johnson spent the latter end of the week with friends in Belle- fonte while doing her summer shop- ping. Drover C. H. Tussey shipped a mix- ed carload of stock from Pennsylvania Furnace to the eastern market on Wednesday. The ladies of the Reformed church will hold a festival on the lawn sur- rounding the church Saturday even- ing, June 26th. F. M. Goss and chum, Mr. Clemens, of Braddock, spent the latter end of the week at the A. F. Gross home on Main street. Mr. and Mrs. Orin Osman, of Centre Hall, were Sunday visitors here and at State College. They like their new home very much. Comrade W. E. Tate and chaplain John Mechtley, of Capt. Foster G. A. R. Post, atended the annual encamp- ment at Indiana last week. Mrs. Margaret Tussey, of Arch Springs, with her interesting little son, William Goheen, is visiting her parental home in the valley. J. R. Smith, the wide-awake tea salesman, is now driving an entire new outfit, which is making quite an impression on his customers. P. Lytle O'Bryan motored over from State College on Saturday and spent a short time with his mother, who is somewhat improved in health. J. Neff Everts, who spent six weeks in a Philadelphia hospital recovering from a rather serious operation, re- turned home last Friday very much improved in health. Miss Grace Elder and Mrs. J. A. Fortney represented the Lutheran Sunday school as delegates to the dis- trict Sunday school convention held at Boalsburg this week. Hon. A: G. Morris, of Bellefonte, with his daughter, Miss Lida, and Mrs. Ross were guests at the St. Elmo for dinner last Thursday while homeward bound from a trip to Tyrone. ‘Squire Watt and friend are back from their week’s outing on Stone Creek and report a good catch of trout, sunfish, suckers, eels, and biggest of all, a nine foot blacksnake. Children’s Day exercises were held in the Presbyterian church at Bailey- ville last Sunday evening. A milita- ry drill by the children was one of the successful features of the evening. The well known octogenarian, E. Ww. Comfort, of State College, who in fact is past eighty-one years of age, left last week for an extended visit among friends in the middle west, his former home. The young folks of Fairbrook held a picnic in Meyers’ grove on Saturday, and on the same day the Branch Sunday school picnicked in the Shingletown gap. Both outings prov- ed very enjoyable. During an electric storm which pass- ed over the western end of the county last Friday lightning killed two of Ralph Judy’s best cows which were browsing in the pasture field. As Ralph is just a beginner on the farm, he feels the loss quite keenly. T. G. Cronover and wife, of Hunt- ingdon, were vistors in town last Fri- day. Mr. Cronover has just closed a deal for the timber on the J. I. Ross tract west of town and _expects to begin operations at no distant date. He estimates it will take several years to clear the tract. Harry Kuhn, driving the Boal bus from State College to Lewistown, met with an accident last Saturday morn- ing when the steering gear refused to work and he crashed into a telephone pole, badly wrecking the bus. The dozen or more passengers were bad- ly shaken up but none seriously in- jured. Children’s Day services will be held in the Presbyterian church here at 10 o’clock Sunday morning. Rev. Mr. Miller, of Mt. Union, will fill the pulpit at the evening services, at the con- clusion of which a congregational meeting will be held for the purpose of voting for a pastor as successor to Rev. L. V. Barber, resigned. Last Saturday morning Carey Shoe- maker, who gathers up the milk and cream in this section, lost his trailer and the result was many gallons of cream were spilled on the road. On Sunday morning the Spring Mills con- densary truck was ditched on the road near the XKimport farm and much milk spilled. The driver was badly cut and bruised but not seriously in- jured. A large crowd atended the annual memorial services here on Satirday evening for deceased members of the 1. 0. O. F. Rev. S. C. Stover made the address and it proved very inter- esting and appropriate to the occas- jon. The list of diseased members of Pennsvalley Lodge No. 276 is as fol- lows: Capt. James Dunlap, Dr. James R. Smith, Robert G. Brett, H. M. Stov- er, James B. Ard, Cyrus Goss, A. G. Archey, J. G. Heberling, J. W. Fry, D. G. Meek, O. F. Shaw, D. S. Erb, J. W. Lawrence, Jacob Erb, Willis Ripka, W. H. Musser, H. M. Krebs, Ray Al- bert, Mahlon Hoover and J. Calvin Sunday. PLEASANT GAP. The dark horse show was in prog- ress in Chicago last week. Crowd not so much life into one day; spread it out and it will last longer. Mr. G. W. Rees and wife spent last Sunday with Mrs. Jonathan Bilger, of the Gap. Keep steadily on at thy calling, for if you stop, like the bycicle rider, you will have to get off. Once in every four years the office really seeks the man. The office aforesaid being the vice Presidency of these United States. There may be some uncertainty as to just what the war was fought for, but nobody named Herman Johnson has any uncertainty what he is fight- ing for. George C. Miller and wife, of Axe Mann, left last Saturday for an ex- tended trip to Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. They expect to be absent for four or six weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Ephriam Keller left for a brief visit with their son Paul and family, of Philadelphia. Paul is one of the clerical force of the P. R. R. in the city of Brotherly love. Mrs. Peter Shuey spent last Tues- day in Bellefonte, calling on old-time friends and incidentally giving a lit- tle attention to laying in a stick of necessary household supplies. Daniel Schlottman, the old veteran, has been at Hazleton and Williams- port the past six weeks. He returned home for Decoration day, but expects to return to Williamsport for an in- definite time, within a week. Those people who are always com- plaining of being neglected by others, are the very ones who are neglectful to others; because if they were busy in their attentions to others they would have no time to notice their neglect. Miss Marion Gettig ,of Pleasant Gap, accompanied by her aunt, Mrs. Adams, of Niagara Falls, left for Pittsburgh on Tuesday last, for a week’s sojourn in the Smoky city. Shopping and sight-seeing was their mission. The action of Congress in passing a bill permitting farmers to combine recalls an ancient one about little Johnny, who asked his mother wheth- er he could have the apple pie in the pantry. She said he could, and he said, “Thanks, I’ve had it.” It is now alleged that the cherry crop in this vicinity, as well as the plum yield will not exceed a more than half normal crop. The three May frosts did the business. However, the prospects for a huge berry crop are most encouraging. Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the devil; it is natural for political parties contending for the patronage of the people, to make accusations against each other, but some of these days the veil will be lifted from the eyes of the people, and seeing matters in their true light, old terra will be- gin to quake. The superintendent of our state road is putting forth every available effort with a view of completing the concreting of the road to the Cross roads at the Gap in six weeks. A sec- ond mixer is being installed which will materially aid in facilitating the work. As soon as the concreting to the Cross roads is completed, the detour will be annulled. The state road has two crews of workmen from Pennsvalley; one from Spring Mills, and another from Pot- ters Mills and the Loop. The compa- ny brings the men from their homes in large trucks each morning and ve- turns them to their homes each even- ing. They are a reliable, trustworthy bunch; the kind who don’t require constant watching. Mr. Perry Krise retired from the hotel business some two years ago and returned to his former home at the Gap, since which time he has pur- chased two houses here and is now busily engaged in repainting the same and otherwise making numerous im- provements. There evidently was a time when the venders of spirits flour- ished beyond description. The Noll Bros. possessed four wire stretchers in the last two years, and now they are minus four stretchers; today they have none. Why? Sim- ply because they loaned them to their neighbors, who failed to return them. A person who borrows a thing from you and keeps it is worse than a thief, for the thief takes it unawares, while the borrower comes into your presence and appeals to your generosity, and you, wishing to improve in virtue, thus endeavor to accommodate him; but when he fails to return the arti- cle, he has not only done what the thief does, but has also abused your feelings, destroying your confidence in humanity, thus rendering you less generous to your fellow beings. Bor- rowing and lending should be avoided when possible. Numerous of our Nittany valley farmers are complaining that they are badly in need of fertilizers but are unable to procure the same owing to the inefficiency of our present railroad system. The present railroad conges- tion is a very serious drawback to our agriculturalists. It looks as if our railroad management needed a new head; the executives have not been obeying the orders issued by the In- terstate Commerce Commission, to end the freight congestion, and the Commission threatens to apply the penal clause of the new railroad law if necessary, to secure obedience. The present traffic situation is unusual, yet the fact is it ought not to have occurred, and railroad control ought to be centralized, and so effective that it cannot occur again. The Interstate Commission is a judicial, not an ex- ecutive body; it is not qualified, and is not expected to operate the roads. But what these roads need today and are likely to need for a good while to come, is a central operating authori- ty. If they can’t get together and run the roads efficiently there will pretty surely be renewed demands for a system of administratien that can do it, and that means a genuine meas- ure of government comtrol. LEMONT. Most of the corn is up and doing fine. There will be a fair crop of fruit in these parts this year. The fine weather has brought the wheat and grass along in good shape. Quite a few people passed through town on their way to the commence- ment at State College. C. D. Houtz and wife are spending a few weeks at the home of their son, Clarence, at Unionville. _ James Thorp’s are busy entertain- ing a great big daughter, who came to stay with them permanently. The Honserville United Brethren congregation will hold Children’s Day service, Sunday evening, June 20th. The Children’s Day services held in the United Evangelical church, Sun- day evening, were quite entertaining. : Carl, the little son of James Wil- liams, who has been quite ill for sev- eral months, has not improved very much. Christina and Martha Knepp, the two daughters of Henry Knepp, who were brought home from the hospital last week, are getting along fine. Florence Rhoads, and Lydia Steb- bens, of Williamsport, who spent a few days at the home of B. F. Hoy, returned to their home on Monday. Adam Lauck, who was hurt one day last week by falling from a mower and getting into some of the machin- ery is able to be out again, but was badly staved and bruised up. AARONSBURG. Earl and Guerney Wert, of Phila- delphia, spent Sunday with their moth- er, Mrs. J. J. Fielder. After spending several weeks with her children at Jersey Shore, Mrs. Mary Brion returned home last week. Master Robert Wetherhold, of Lan- caster, has arrived in town to spend the summer with his aunt, Mrs. W. A. Guisewhite. Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Swabb, of Johnstown, were pleasant guests one day last week of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Guisewhite. Harold Rothrock and Miss Eva Stambaugh, of Lock Haven, spent an evening with Miss Stambaugh’s aunt, Mrs. E. G. Mingle. On Sunday, June 13th, that busy bird, the Stork, visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wance and left a bright little son. Harry Eisenhauer had the misfor- tune to hurt his foot while working with a hay bailer at Swengle. How- ever, he is improving nicely and will soon be able to resume his work. The Misses Jennie and Marian Au- man, of Coburn, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Auman. Miss Jennie returned home the same day while Miss Marian will remain indef- initely. Rev. Jacob Stover, of Centreville, was an over Sunday guest of his brother, George E. Stover. While here he very ably filled the pulpit in the Lutheran church on Sunday evening, preaching to a large and appreciative congregation. ' ; : OAK HALL. Mrs. William Kern, attended the funeral of her uncle, James Shires, at Johnstown recently. Miss Trafma Radel, of Middleburg, spent Sunday at the home of her brother, E. C. Radel, of this place.

CASTORIA Bears the signature of Chas, H. Fletcher. In use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought. | more im 3 ] fore, could Congress be induced to act, The Budget Bill. Tha veto of the budget bill was am- ply justified, and the House has ad- mitted this by omitting the provision which gave Congress the power to re- move an appointee of the President and passing the corrected bill. ; Congress, of course, has no author- ity to remove an official appointed by the President, and the inclusion or this provision was merely one more illustration of the effort of Congress to antagonize the President at every opportunity. The President is strong- ly in favor of this pressingly needed reform in the national finances, and it seems to have been thought that for the sake of getting it he would over- look this flagrant and unconstitution- al invasion of the prerogative of the Executive. He refused to overlook it, and the House yielded. But the bill is objectionable in another and opposite direction. It transfers to the Executive functions of the House of Representatives. The preparation of the budget becomes a part of the work of the Executive and will be done under the direction of a Controller General appointed by the President. The House of Representatives is constitutionally the purse-holder of the nation. It is the duty of the House to consider the revenues and the ex- penditures and make the one fit the other. For a long time the Ways and Means committee had jurisdiction over income and outgo, and if the esti- mates exceeded the income it reduced them or increased taxation. On ac- count of the growth of public business the Appropriations committee was created, and that prepared all the spending bills and the Ways and Means committee prepared all the rev- enue measures. Then the process began of taking bills away from the Appropriations committee, beginning with the Agri- cultural bill and the Rivers and Har- bors bills, and assigning them to in- dividual committees specially inter- ested in those subjects. The two bills mentioned were assigned to the com- mittee on Agriculture and the com- mittee on Rivers and Harbors. The avowed purpose of this was to get bigger appropriations, and the pur- pose was attained. Then other bills were transferred with a like result. When Samuel J. Randall was chair- man of the committee on Appropria- tions five bills were taken away from his committee to reduce its import- ance and punish him for defeating the first Morrison tariff bill. Of course, expenses increased rap- idly. The committee recommended more money for the branches of the public service in which they were con- cerned than would have been recom- mended by one committee obliged to provide for all branches of the public serivec. The national expenses mount- ed rapidly. The system was vicious and extravagant. It was supported by log-rolling, members voting for large appropriations in which they were not interested in order to get the votes of other members for bills in which they were interested. This evil ought to have been reme- died many years ago, but not until the enormous expenditures on account of the war made the need of economy rative than it ever was be- and now it has acted by divesting the House of some of its constitutional prerogatives. All that was necessary at any time was to restore all appro- priation bills to a single committee.— Philadelphia Record. en A JACKSONVILLE. Rumors are rife of another wedding in this section in the near future. Harvey Harter, of Bellefonte, spent HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA. Get a Good Grip on Health Look out for the unnatural weak- ness that indicates thinning of the blood and lack of power. It means that your bodily organs are starving for want of good nourishment; that the red corpuscles are fewer, unequal to demands of health. Hood’s Sarsa- parilla increases strength of the deli- cate and nervous, restores red corpus- cles, makes the blood carry health to every part, creates an appetite. If you need a good cathartic medi- cine, Hood’s Pills will satisfy. 6523 Sunday at the William Eckenroth home. Jacksonville was well represented at the festival held at Howard last Sat- urday evening. _ Br. and Mrs. Elmer Fultz and fam- ily, of Axe Mann, spent Sunday at the James Mackey home. George Weight was painfully injur- ed last week while assisting his father in building a fence. The elder Weight was engaged in nailing on the boards when the hammer flew off of the handle striking George on the head and cutting a gash which required four stitches to close. Pertinent Questions. Among the many Irish anecdotes told by Canon Hannay, author of sev- eral books under the pen-name of “George Birmingham,” is the follow- ing. An Irish gentleman who heard of the death of a great enemy of his, who had harassed him for many years, remarked: “Well, it’s a comfort to think that the devil’s got that fellow at last.” A clergyman who happened to be present felt it his duty to re- monstrate against this uncharitable view of the dead man’s condition. He said he hoped that. in spite of all that had passed, the poor man might have escaped the extreme penalty. “Well,” retorted the other, “if the devil hasn’t got that fellow, all I can say is that I don’t see much use in keeping a devil at all.” a ————————————— Rats as Food. Doctor Kane, the Arctic explorer, said that one of the worst curses in the far North were the rats that in- fested his ship. Nevertheless, when in want of other food, he was glad to cat them—sometimes chopped up and #rozen into tallow balls. He wrote: “During the long winter nights Hans beguiled his hours of watch by shooting rats with bow and arrow. The repugnance of my com- anions to share with me this table juxury gave me frequent advantage of fresh meat soup, which contributed no doubt to my comparative immunity to scurvy.” MEDICAL. It’s Foolish to Suffer When So Many Bellefonte People Are Pointing out the Way. You may be brave enough to stand backache or headache or dizziness. But, if, in addition urination is disor- dered, look out! If you don’t try to fix your sick kidneys, you may fall in- to the clutches of dangerous disease before you know it. But, if you live more carefully and help your kidneys with Doan’s Kidney Pills, you can stop the pains you have and avoid fu- ture danger as well. Don’t experi- ment—use the remedy Bellefonte peo- ple are publicly endorsing. Read this case: Mrs. Clair Miller, 231 E. Bishop St., Bellefonte, says: “Doan’s Kidney Pills have been a household remedy with us for years. I have used them at different times with satisfactory results. I am glad to recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Miller had.
