PLEASE BE CURIOUS
ENOUGH TO READ THIS
PARAGRAPH. YOU WON'T
REGRET IT.
What better wish could you send
any one than “Healthy New Year?”
And when it is so attractively offered
in the tuberculosis Christmas Seal
why not be sure that all your mail
carries this gay little stamp? If you
have ever visited Mont Alto or Cres-
son and have seen hundreds of chil-
dren, ages ranging from five years
upwards, there to be cured of tuber-
culosis, the vision wouldn’t be easily
banished from before your eyes and
you would feel no effort too great to
aid this campaign against tuberculo-
sis. Your girl or boy may be the next
victim! Not a pleasant thought isit?
Then let us all, at this season of good
will and joy to children, remember
that the best gift we can give them is
the heritage and environment of
health and that this is impossible
while that Great White Plague stalks
abroad numbering its victims by
thousands. The happy looking Santa
Claus in his bright red outfit, on the
seal, doesn’t seem a formidable antag-
onist for such a mighty foe but when
his sale mounts to a million dollars,
you realize the wise expenditure of
this money means disease and igno-
rance combated. Join the army of
tuberculosis seal users and help lay
this dread spectre!
Seals can be purchased for one cent
at Miss Hoover's, the “Watchman” of-
fice, Runkle’s drug store, Hazel’s,
Clevenstine’s, Schlow’s, from Mrs. Ed
Struble, Miss Emma Waite, Mrs.
Schloss, Miss Daise Keichline, Mrs.
Robert Walker, Mrs. John Shugert,
Miss Deborah Lyon, Miss Katherine
Love, Miss Jane Daggett, Mrs. J. C.
Harper, Miss Helene Williams, Miss
Overton. And surely you cannot now
say you didn’t know where to buy
them, can you?

Endorses Location for State Fair. :
Altoona, Williamsport and Harris-
burg were named in order as the
choice for the permanent location at
the proposed Pennsylvania State Ag-
ricultural and Industrial Exposition,
in a resolution supporting the State
fair plan passed at the annual busi-
ness meeting and social gathering of
the Centre county Farmers’ Co-op-
erative Association at State College
last night.
Reasons why Pennsylvania should,
as one of the leading agricultural
States, own and conduct an annual
state fair were given in detail in the
resolutions. The opinion was voiced
that the establishment of a state fair
would in no way work hardship or in-
jury to the county fairs. Its estab-
lishment was heartily endorsed and
it was recommended that it be on a
scale sufficient to be commensurate
with future development. In naming
the choice of cities for holding the
fair, the association believes that
those in the order named would serve
the greatest number of people. The
meeting was held in the dairy build-
ing of the agricultural school of The
Pennsylvania State College, and a
number of college faculty men ad-
dressed the gathering.

——If you wonder what becomes of
the money from the sale of tuberculo-
sis Christmas Seals why didn’t you go
to the Parent-Teachers meeting on
Monday night? You would have had
the full worth of all the money you
spend on seals even without that Fun-
ny Loo. Mrs. Melvin Locke would
have told you that you can get tuber-
culosis anywhere from your larynx
down; Miss Daise Keichline would
have told you you can get it anywhere
from Egypt to the land of the Eski-
mo; but Fun Loo would have helped
to drive the T. B. blues away and have
left a bright spot on your retina that
would have persisted almost as long
as that jolly Santa Claus on the
Christmas Seal. It is well there are a
few rosy-colored spots in the tuber-
culosis fight and you better provide
yourself with some Christmas Seals
to be sure of the brightest!

cemetery.
We miss dear Joel since he left
His dear friends here to roam;
He's gone to live where angels are,
To be forever home.
His life was like a summer sky,
Undimmed by sorrow’s night;
But when severe affliction came,
His spirit took its flight.
We miss the prattling of his tongue.
The patter of his feet;
But the most of all we miss him for,
Is that tender kiss so sweet.
We know that he is happy now
With all the good and blest,
He dwells above in realms of love,
With Jesus, is at rest. . *

County Treasurer Receives
Licenses.
Dog
Centre county’s supply of dog li-
cense tags and blanks for 1922 have
been receivéd by county treasurer L.
Frank Mayes and the license fees can
be paid at the treasurer’s office and
the new license tags secured any time.
There have been 5,000 individual li-
cense tags and 75 kennel tags for-
warded to the county treasurer’s of-
fice and it is believed that this num-
i ber will supply the demands of Cen-
tre county for the coming year.
Last year there were 1,555 licenses
issued in Centre county, while the
county paid out $675.20 in claims for
loss or injury of sheep, poultry and
live-stock. The Bureau of Animal
Industry of the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Agriculture has been desig-
nated as the agency for the enforce-
ment of the new dog law which be-
comes effective on January 15th,
next, and under the provisions of
which the new licenses are being is-
sued. Officials of the bureau will co-
operate with the local police in an ef-
fort to reduce the county’s losses and
also to sce that every dog in the coun-
ty is properly licensed.
Under the provisions of the “Dog
Law of 1921” every owner or keeper
of a dog six months old or over must
secure a dog license on or before Jan-
uary 15th, 1922.
Application for such license may be
made direct to the County Treasurer
or through any notary public, justice
of the peace, alderman or magistrate
of the district where such owner or
keeper resides. Application forms are
furnished by the County Treasurer to
such officers.
The license fee is uniform through-
out the State, with the exception of
cities of the first and second class,
$1.10 for each male or spayed female
dog, and $2.10 for each female dog.
The County Treasurer is allowed a
fee of 10 cents for each license issued
whether the application is made direct
to him or through the local officer.

MEYERS.—Mildred Meyers, the Dental Clinics for School Children.
The first Red Cross dental clinic to
be scheduled by the State College
Chapter was held in the Spring Mills
vocational school last Saturday, with
Dr. F. A. Robinson, of State College,
in charge. The Chapter has recently
purchased dental equipment which
was set up in the school building and
Mrs. Jones, the nurse, assisted the
dentist. Seventeen children were
treated and, besides cleaning, the
work included twenty-five fillings and
five extractions. Dr. Kelly, also from
State College, conducted a second clin-
ic in the same school, Tuesday, De-
cember 13th. The grade children were
treated in the first clinic and the vo-
cational pupils in the second.
Prof. Gehr, principal of the voca-
tional school, is enthusiastic about
the usefulness of the clinics, both for
the actual service given the children,
and for their educational value. He
states that the children have already
been talking of having their teeth
more carefully taken care of now that
they have started in the school, and
he plans to follow it up through the
school year with advice for visits to
their local dentist frequently.
The appreciation of the school is
best shown by the fact that professor
Gehr asked the Chapter to try to se-
cure a dentist for a third day of the
clinic and said they would be glad to
pay him something. Fortunately
that arrangement could be made with
a dentist who is giving his day of
service in another school later in the
year. Each dentist in this vicinity
has been asked to give one day of time
during the school year and they have
responded most generously.
Two-day clinics are scheduled
three other schools as follows:
State College, January 17 and 19,
Dr. J. J. Kilpatrick and Dr. E. S. Ma-
loy, of Bellefonte.
Centre Hall, February 11 and a half
day of February 25, Dr. Musser, of
Centre Hall.
Miliheim, March 23 and 28, Dr.
Gutelius, of Millheim, and Dr. R. L.
Stevens, of Bellefonte.
Effort has been made by the Chap-
ter to secure the traveling dental
clinic maintained by the State Depart-
ment of Health and Red Cross head-
quarters. It could not be scheduled
for the present school year but will
probably be sent here next year. Dr.
C. J. Hollister, chief of the dental di-
vision of the State Department, has
expressed much interest in the Chap-
ter dental clinics and plans to visit
State College early in the coming
year.
in
Miss Shipps Has Left State College.
The people of State College and
that part of Centre county, particu-
larly the school kiddies, will regret to
hear of the departure of Miss Helen
Shipps, special Red Cross representa-
tive attached to the State College
Chapter since last February. She left
last Wednesday for her home in
Zanesville, Ohio, having completed
the work she was sent here to do,
largely in the matter of organization
and assistance with the affairs of the
Chapter.
Miss Shipps has been of great help
to Mrs. Maude C. Jones, the Chapter
nurse, and was active in the arrange-
ments for the two clinics conducted
for crippled children at State College
by Dr. G. B. Stull, of Harrisburg. She
also was instrumental in the estab-
lishment of the dental clinics for
school children which started last Sat-
urday and took charge of ex-service
claims. Service men should now con-
sult with Miss Julia Kauffman, the
re-hab nurse, in their claim adjust-
ments.
It is interesting to note that a num-
ber of the children treated at the Stull
clinics have totally recovered from
their deformations, and many others
have been wonderfully helped.
One little girl is now in the Univer-
sity hospital, at Philadelphia, on the
road to recovery. She is Margaret
Boal ,of Houserville. Another, Doro-
thy Fohringer, aged 13, of Centre
Hall, who was supplied with a brace
at the clinic, will be taken to the sea-
shore home for invalid children at At-
lantic City, early in January.
Tomato Plant Rivals Giant Killer's
Bean Stalk.
If the youngsters who live in the vi-
cinity of the Osmer flats, 19 south
Daisy avenue, ever decide to start out
on a giant hunting expedition as did
Jack the Giant Killer in the famed fa-
ble, they needn’t look far for their
conveyance.
On the south side of the flats is
growing a big tomato vine, declared
to be one of the largest in Southern
California. It was planted there in
May by Mrs. J. J. Osmer and it has
been reaching with greedy fingers for
the sky ever since. Just how high the
vine will grow Mrs. Osmer refuses to
guess. Sufficient to say it is now over
twelve feet in height, though the
! ing knife h it lib-
was also chosen. The members voted ' pring Lnifs has been used on f4
erally several times.
There are at least fifteen tomatoes
growing on the vine at present. Sev-
eral were cut off yesterday. The Os-
mer household, due to the generosity
of the climber, has not purchased any
tomatoes from the corner grocer for
so long Mrs. Osmer has forgotten the
date she visited the establishment for
a supply of the vegetables.—The Long
Beach, Cal., Daily Telegram, Novem-
ber 19, 1921.
The Mrs. Osmer referred to above
is the wife of J. J. Osmer, brother of
Mrs. A. Hibler, of Bellefonte. It is
quite interesting to note that at the
time the above item was published
vegetation was all dead here and the
weather was then bordering on win-
ter.

ADDITIONAL PINE GROVE MEN-
TIONS.
Mrs. Koch, of Millheim, accompa-
nied by three daughters and Mrs.
Miller, a neighbor woman, were en-
tertained on Sunday at the G. W.
Koch home on south Water street.
John C. Duniap, who is fast devel-
oping into the John Wanamaker, of
Cherrytree, was here for his annual
hunt with the Fleetfoot club and vis-
iting his mother, Mrs. S. A. Dunlap.
Mrs. Edward H. Grapp and sister,
Mrs. Florence DeVoe Meade, of
Washington, D. C., are visiting the
Hoffmans, in Pittsburgh, this week.
Mrs. Grapp was on the program for
a song or two at a reception given by
a prominent club in Pittsburgh last
night.
The Dreiblebis brothers came in
with another big buck on Tuesday,
making the third deer to be brought
in by this family of noted hunters.
Samuel Hess Tate also brought in his
deer on Tuesday after a few hours’
hunt on the mountain. It was his first
deer and having six prongs and
weighing close to two hundred pounds,
he is naturally very much elated.
Eleventh hour returns from the hunt-
ers are about as fruitful of results as
the first days of the season On Wed-
nesday Albert Lutz went up on the
mountain to try his luck and he must
have had his fingers crossed and a
rabbit’s left hind foot in his hip pock-
et, as he brought in a buck with fif-
teen prongs on its antlers. The ani-
mal is supposed to be “Old Barney,”
a famous stag that has been seen year
after year on the mountain and which
many hunters have tried to get. The
animal weighed 220 pounds. Harry
Gearhart also shot a nice buck on
Wednesday. Mr. Gearhart was given
credit last week with having shot a
deer but that was a mistake, it was
his father who did the deed.

FOUR POWERS ALLIANCE.
Quadruple Combination Formed at the
Armament Conference.
To the scrap-heap where capital
ships are soon to be consigned the
Anglo-Japanese Alliance preceded
them on Saturday. From its ashes
, there arose, phoenix-like, a new and
greater edifice dedicated to the cause
of peace in the Pacific. Four world
Powers raised it into existence—the
United States, the British Empire,
¥rance and Japan. Their allegiance
to its purposes, dramatically declared
at the fourth plenary session of the
: Armament Conference, in Washing-
ton, is pledged in a quadruple treaty,
as follows:
“Lhe United Stites of America, the
British Empire, France and Japan,
with a view to the preservation of the
general peace and the maintenance of
their rights in relation to their insu-
lar dominions in the regions of the
Pacific Ocean, have determined to con-
clude a treaty to this effect and have
appointed as their plenipotentiaries:
“The President of the United States
of America.
“His Majesty, the King of the Unit-
ed Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland and of the British dominions
beyond the seas, Emperor of India.
And for the Dominion of Canada.
i For the Commonwealth of Austra-
ia.
For the Dominion of New Zealand.
For India.
5 The President of the French Repub-
ic.
His Majesty, the Emperor of Japan.
“Who having communicated their
full powers, found in good and due
form, have agreed as follows:
“ ‘Article I.—The high contracting
parties agree as between themselves
to respect their rights in relation to
their insular possessions and insular
dominions in the regions of the Pacif-
ic Ocean.
“If there should develop between
any of the high contracting parties a
controversy arising out of any Pacif-
ic question and involving their said
rights which is not satisfactorily set-
tled by diplomacy and is likely to af-
fect the harmonious accord now hap-
pily subsisting between them, they
shall invite the high contracting par-
ties to a joint conference to which the
whole subject will be referred for con-
sideration and adjustment.
‘Article II.—If the said rights are
threatened by the aggressive action
of any other Power, the high con-
tracting parties shall communicate
with one another fully and frankly in
order to arrive at an understanding as
to the most efficient measures to be
taken, jointly and separately, to meet
the exigencies of the particular sit-
uation.
“ ‘Article III—This agreement shall
remain in force for ten years from the
time it shall take effect, and after the
expiration of said period it shall be
