Deora Yltcan, Bellefonte, Pa., July 2 1920. PLEASANT GAP Anyway, General Wood still holds his job. A statesman is a politician who is running for a job; and a politician is a statesman on the job. And after reading a page of Chica- go nominating speeches we under- stand why they call Chicago the Win- dy city. Grant Dunklebarger, the kiln repair man for Whiterock, is visiting friends in Illinois; he expects to be absent for three weeks. There are still a few colleges which are not going to give Hoover a doc- tor’s degree; among others the well known Electoral College. If you had to read the platfoms be- fore you could vote, the voters who voted would be less than one-half of one per cent. of the voters. Tell me not in mournful numbers Spring is but an empty dream, And the weather Bureau’s forecasts More mistaken than they seem! Our esteemed neighbor, Harry Zim- merman, was taken to the Bellefonte hospital recently to be operated upon. His many friends are hoping for his early recovery. Perry Krise, the former hotel pro- prietor, but now an employe of the Whiterock quarries, enjoyed a little vacation the past week, but has again resumed operations at the old stand. Dr. L. E. Langley and Mr. Max Cohen, prominent citizens of Wil- liamsport, made a friendly visit last Sunday at the Abner Noll home. They were the guests of their personal friend, Mr. Raymond, of Milroy. They were delighted with the grand scenery surrounding the Gap. Something thal our people are extremely proud of, more especially at this season of the year. Since the late storm at Chicago has ubsided, it is noticeable that the Re- publican leaders did not want John- son. They did not want Wood. They wanted harmony, and they now claim they achieved it. With Calvin Cool- idge as the candidate for vice Presi- dent, the ticket apparently acquires greater strength than a vice Presiden- tial nominee usually gives it. Like McKinley, Harding comes to the nom- ination with an established reputation for party regularity. He is a shrewd, practical, rather hard-headed man, who harbors no visionary ideas, who will use the political tools at his hand rather than fashion new ones. But Harding lacks the personal appeal that McKinley exercised, and he faces the prospect of the campaign without the great advantage which McKinley possessed. For, though Bryan in 1896 had injected the free silver issue into the campaign, the protective tariff was the policy for which the Republi- can party pre-eminently stood, even in 96, and McKinley’s name was asso- ciated with the law that embodied that tariff policy. The tariff is not a vital issue this year. The peace treaty seems te be the issue, and the fight 0) be an animated one along those ines. Bar BOALSBURG. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kuhn have re- turned from their wedding tour. James Fromm, of Centre Hall, transacted business in town on Tues- day. Mr. and Mrs. Ephriam Keller, of Pleasant Gap, were callers in town on Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Meyer spent Monday at the home of Lee Brooks, at Pleasant Gap. Mrs. Henrietta Dale and daughter Anna spent Sunday at the home of C. M. Dale, on the Branch. A festival for the benefit of the Lutheran Sunday school will be held 3¢ Boo! hall, Saturday evening, July rd. Mrs. Eliza Leach, of Shingletown, and daughter, Mrs. Harry Musser, spent Tuesday at the home of W. H. Stuart. Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Stuart, and daughter, accompanied by Mrs. George Stuart and son, George Jr, motored from Pittsburgh on Saturday for a visit among friends. Misses Rachel and Eleanor Moth- ershaugh, of Hepburnville, are visit- ing friends in this vicinity. Their father, D. XK. Mothersbaugh, accom- panied them to Boalsburg on Satur- day and returned home Sunday. Destructive Fire at Mahaffey, Clear- field County. Fire which started in the A. C. Nic- odemus bake shop on Main street, Ma- haffey, about 11 o’clock Sunday morn- ing was not checked untl 4 o’clock in the afternoon when it had virtually wiped out an entire section of the town. Firemen from DuBois, Punxsutaw- ney and Curwensville responded to the call for assistance and helped to fight the flames. The losses included some of the most prominent residences and busi- ness establishments located there. Al- though all losses have not yet been ascertained, it is estimated that the damage will amount to well over the $450,000 mark. The following places were destroy- ed, although the individual losses could not be learned: Nicodemus bake shop and resi- dence; Mahaffey Hotel; Hoover's liv- ery stable; Wrigley’s Hardware store; A. D. Lydick department store; L.C. Trout’s store and residence; three warehouses, owned by Wrigley; Campbell and Kelley apartments; Dr. J. Frank Rowles’ office and residence; Allied Coal Co. offices. A number of other residences were also destroyed which were in the path of the flames. Losses were sustained by citizens extending from a point near the Pennsylvania railroad sta- tion to the Lydick residence, buildings being destroyed on both sides of the street. All of the buildings were on east Main street. The fire is thought to have started from an overheated oven. Sing Paton i Speak Here Winner of Irenscontinental Aero Race Belvin W. Maynard, «The Flying Par- son,” because he entered the aviation worvice from the ministry at his country’s call, is’ naturally famous be- eausé of his winning the Transconti- | wental Aero Race, conducted last Cetober. : “st the invitation of the Swarth- more i Lieut. Maynard upon his discharge in April, 1920, from his military service, has turned his attention to the lecture platform where he will have ample 0 portunity to continue his patriotic labors under the title, Motor Troubles of So- cicty.” This intrepid aviator, who knows so well how to overcome &ero- piane motor troubles, will discuss our ational and social problems from 8 new viewpoint. Lieut. Maynard is the red-blooded type of man whose varied experiences and training fit him for a practical and helpful dis- cussion of this subject. His physical fitness and mental alertness led the fying parson to take chances that most aviators shun, al- though he ‘instantly enters a modest disclaimer when faced with the tri- bute. Where others followed railroad ¢racks or the ribbon-like highways in going from cantrol to control, Lieut Maynard took the cross-country -cut, flying entirely by compass. He set his faith upon his star and sheared off. the miles. On the trip from San Francisco he. had occasion to take 8 long chance. Leaving Chicago, his course led him straight across Lake Michigan, and he followed his needle without hesitation. More cautious competitors circled the water and lost valuable time. His charge across the lake was one way of showing confi- dence in himself. The real conditioning he believes ir brought him earlier fame than his victory in the great Derby. Months ago he took to the air, bent on record- Lieutenant better known, as making. Three hundred and eighteen loops.in 67 minutes did the trick—an | average of better than a loop every fifteen scconds, continued for over an hour! It is a mark which has re- pelled assault after assault by other army aviators, Maynard came out of the test tired, of course, but far from _ exhausted. This clear-headed parson, un- dizzied and unexhausted, comes on the closing night of Chautauqua to tell us how our problems look from the far heights to which he has be: come accustomed. Jefferson’s Last Sentiment. When asked nine days before his death to write a sentiment for the forthcoming fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration—the day of jubilee on which, by a singular coincidence, he was destined to die—Jefferson | wrote: “The eyes of men are open- ed and opening to the rights of men. It has become clear that the masses of men are not born with saddles on their backs nor a favored few booted and spurred ready to ride them legit- imately by the grace of God.” Making Roman Candles. The process by which the Roman candles are turned out may give a general idea of the construction of pyrotechnics. The tubes of Roman candles are merely layers of paper rolled in shape by hand, each layer being glued to the others. They are made in all lengths and sizes, from the tiny one that splutters out but two stars to the one which holds thirty stars in its yard long length. When the tubes have been finished one end is plugged with clay, and then the process of loading begins. A bit of slow burning powder is first placed in the tube, then a star, then more pow- der, etc., until the tube has been charged with the required number of stars. A bit of the same slow burn- ing powder is sprinkled on the last star; a fuse is then inserted and the end sealed. The loading is not done by hand—that process is too slow. Twenty-four empty tubes are stood upright in a vertical frame, and into them the powder and stars are alter- nately placed by an ingenious mech- anism. Then twenty-four steel ram- mers firmly press the charges in place. Bombshells are made of papier mache. The spheres are molded in halves and are then joined by glue. After the glue has set the globes are wound with stout twine. Pinwheels like other playthings, must needs look pretty in order to sell well, and the bright colors and fancy patterns are put upon them by the deft fingers of women. Reason Enough. The railroad official invited the stern citizen to communicate his troubles. ! “I want you to give orders,” de- ! manded the visitor, “that the engineer of the express which passes through Elm Grove at 11:55 be restrained | ! from blowing his whistle on Sunday | mornings.” “Impossible!” “What prompts you ridiculous request?” | “Wel., you see,” explained the citi- | zen, in an undertone, “our pastor | preaches until he hears the whistle | blow and that confounded express was twenty minutes late last Sunday.”— | New York Central Magazine. i A Disappointment. | “And if you are a good boy you will | go to heaven,” finished up the presid- ing elder. “Aw, heck!” returned young Bear- cat Johnson, of Rumpus Ridge, Ark. | “I thought you was going to say you'd give me a dime.”—Kansas City Star. exploded the official. to make such a | or ———Subscribe for the “Watchman : cent official statistics show that, be- | cause sugar was not obtainable during | the war, children born between 1914 | parents not to require sugar in their | sending nine-tenths of their output to Virginia Will Veterans. Under the provision of the bill pass- ed by the recent General Assembly, a complete enumeration of the veterans of the Confederate Army and Navy now living in Virginia is to be made during the coming year. The bill makes it the duty of the commissioners of revenue of each county or city, at the time of taking lists of property for taxation, to enu- merate the living veterans of the Con- federate Army or Navy in his county or city, obtaining their names, age and postoffice addresses. Senator Julian Gunn, who repre- sented the bill, said the enumeration will serve the double purpose of bring- ing to the attention of the authorities worthy cases of former soldiers who are in needy circumstances, and at the same time enable State pension authorities to check their lists and strike from them the names of those who are not entitled to receive the pension. Prayed for the Country. A reader just back from Washing- ton tells me that the following story, a sharp jab at the House of Represen- tativaes, has been revived and is being passed about with twinkling eyes by Washington lately: A gentleman, accompanied by his alert little son, visited the capitol one day while Congress was in session, the tale goes. The lad looked on with keen interest from the gallery as the House came to order. Then, turning to his father, he said: “Pop why did the minister pray for all those men 32 “He didn’t,” the cynical parent re- plied. “He took a look at’em and then prayed for the country.”—Boston Post. France’s Sweet Tooth Lost as Result of War. France has lost its sweet tooth. Re- and 1919 have been educated by their drinks and food. As a result the consumption of su- gar in France has fallen to one-eighth the pre-war mark. France has become such an unprof- itable market, for fine chocolates that nearly all the big manufacturers are the United States and South Ameri- « > — It’s all here and it’s all true.
