PLEASANT GAP
Mrs. Earl Rimmey left a few days
ago for a brief visit with friends.
It is your own fault if dogs znd
tramps come to see you the second
time.
The real weakness of femininity is
being too much influenced by the
praise or dispraise of others.
Some people will never help you up
a hill until you stall, and then they
are awfully sorry you did not say
something sooner.
The less you do for your children,
the more opportunity they will have
to do for themselves; and this is
what they shall have to learn or be
undone.
Mrs. Jno. T. Noll, accompanied by
Miss Jean Fatkin Noll, left on Tues-
day last to visit their friends in Beaver
county. They expect to be absent
about ten days or two weeks.
Pleasant Gap has been experienc-
ing a fresh meat famine for some
weeks, owing to the fact that Mr.
Clayton Gettig was obliged to close
his meat market on account of a se-
vere and stubborn attack of rheuma-
tism. But fortunately we were agree-
ably surprised recently when butcher
Dan Keller, of State College, decided
to come to the rescue. We now have
three deliveries a week of fresh meats.
The new route is handled by one of
Mr. Keller's trusted lieutenants, Mr.
Breon, who, by the way, is giving
excellent service and supplies the de-
ficiency to the entire satisfaction of
his numerous patrons here.
Our big-hearted townsman, Mr.
Wm. Kerstetter, has once more dem-
onstrated that he has a heart one
hundred ver cent bigger than the
whites of an African’s eyes. When the
State road management ran a sewer
across the pike in front of Alderman
Dunc Herman’s residence, they left
tons of clay on the pavement leading
to the store and post office, so that
the traveling public were compelled
to navigate outside the pavement,
thus greatly inconveniencing them.
Mr. Kerstetter evidently did not like
to be discommoded himself, and with
a view of removing the nuisance pro-
ceeded to the obstruction with pick
and shovel, and it required six hours’
hard work to obliterate the eye-sore.
The work was done and well done, and
it is needless to say that Billy has the
thanks of the entire community for
doing what a few men would have
undertaken without compensation.
Such men are a useful commodity to
any community.

A birthday party was heid at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. rrank L.
Bartlow, in honor of the host. Quite
2 large number of our “best young
people” were present and had a very
enjoyable time. The usual games
were played, and some of the young
folks enjoyed themselves stepping
around to music in an old-fashioned,
square dance. They voted it much
nicer than dancing Bingo, or kissing
games. A dainty lunch was served,
and the guests departed with a host
of best wishes. Mr. Bartlow receiv-
ed quite a few nice little remembranc-
es.
Installation of officers was held at

peared as quickly as the could be
summoned and a good time was had
by ail. Mr. and Mrs. Roger Poor-
man, of Beech Creek, Mrs. Ida Fravel
and son, Harris Confer, Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Kunes and two young ladies,
came over from Blanchard and were
warmly welcomed by their Orviston
brothers and sisters of the P. O. A.
Songs, both comic and sentimental,
were rendered by Mrs. Hume and Miss
Poorman, and Mrs. Roger Poorman,
and the crooked face story, as told
by Carrol Brown, enlivened the affair.
Mrs. Garret said she will be happy to
visit again, and the brothers and sis-
ters of the Lodge are united in praise
of the lady, and hope she will be able
to come often, and stay longer. She
was entertained at the home of Mr.

The aviator who landed in George
Gummo’s field near Gray’s cemetery
on Friday created quite a little ex-
citement, and people from miles
around flocked to the scene to see the
plane, which was somewhat damaged.
Fortunately the pilot escaped with-
out being injured when his plane
turned upside down in the hilly field.
THE AVIATOR.
Last week an aviator
Who was lost, flew by our town,
And then he circled lower
And came slowly sailing down.
The men rushed from their labor,
And the boys forgot their play
To follow him with flying feet
And get into his way.
He tried to land in Wilson's field,
And thep he circled ‘round,
For he feared he'd hit a youngster
If he landed on the ground.
And then Wade Lytle's meadow
Seemed a most inviting place,
Till he saw the frightened cattle
That were running him a race.
He rose and then flew eastward,
And was quickly lost to view,
And some folks hunted him
For perhaps an hour or two.
And when at last he struck the earth
His plane kept turning ‘round
Till it broke the two propellers
And was laying upside down.

In a sense it is a service chart. Its
