ited her mother, Mrs. Sue Peters.
Farmer George Lohr is now driving
a fine team of mules purchased at the

total receipts of that sale, as they
were $8,260, instead of $4,650.
George Fisher, the well known oil
and paint agent of Boalsburg, was
here on Monday and did a land office
business, taking orders for car load
lots of oil and gasoline. Incidentally

ing a candidate for sheriff of Centre
county in 1923.
The H. H. Goss sale last Friday was
well attended but prices were away
below last year. The highest price
for horses was $201. Cows sold for
from $35 to $76, while shoats brought
very fair prices. The sale amounted
to $3,000. The S. Y. Elder sale on
Tuesday amounted to $2,000.
At a recent meeting of the joint

no place like home.”
A birthday surprise party was giv-
en at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. T.
Parsons, at Fairbrook last Friday
evening, in honor of their daughter,
Mrs. Ruth Harpster. The young wom-
an was induced to go on a shopping
trip and on her way home stopped at
the home of her parents, oniy to find
the house filled with guests in her
honor. Refreshments were served and
the evening spent in games and mu-
sic. Mrs. Harpster received many
pretty and useful presents.
Rev. Pittinger, a former pastor of
the Methodist church here, and Rev.
D. Y. Brouse, quietly slipped away
from the conference in Tyrone and ac-
companied Rev. Haminond here last
Friday for the day only. Rev. Pittin-
ger called on many of his old parish-
ioners while Rev. Brouse spent the
time with his aged mother. Rev. Ira
Fisher and wife and baby Lena were
here this week visiting old friends.
Rev. Hammond, by the way, was re-
assigned to this charge, so saves the
expense of flitting somewhere else.
This section was well represented
at the W. H. Homan sale near Centre
Hall last Friday. It was one of the

spring. One team of horses brought

Mrs. B. F. Homan, of State College,
spent Friday in town.

After a ten day’s visit in Bellefonte,

and son are able to be out after a
week’s illness.
Mrs. William Sweet, of Instanter,
is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
William Meyer.
Mrs. Robert Reitz and son, of Char-
ter Oak, enjoyed an over Sunday vis-
it with friends in town.
There will be quite a number of
movings about town. Monday, April
3, has been decided upon as moving
ay.
Major and Mrs. Theodore Davis
Boal are spending some time in Wash-
ington, D. C., having motored down on
Sunday.
A number of ladies were entertain-
ed at the Ishler-Coxey home on Wed-
nesday evening in honor of Mrs. Cox-
ey’s birthday anniversary.

home of her daughter, Mrs. William
Rockey. Mr. Rockey is also confined

J. | of Oak Hall, will begin farming on
the Blue Spring farm.
Dr. W. W. Woods and a party of
friends from Wilmington, Del, mo-
tored to Boalsburg on Sunday and are
occupying the Woods home on Church
street.

Fisher, of Altoona, and a number of
friends from State College and Belle-
fonte, were at the Fisher home over
Sunday, coming to visit Mrs. Amanda
Fisher, who has been quite ill but is
now improving.
FAR NORTH SLED DOGS
BRING $100 ON MARKET.
Edmonton, Alta—Malamute dogs
the half wolf, half canine animals
known as huskies, are selling in the
north at $100 a piece and up, accord-
ing to returned hunters and prospec-
tors. When the north is snowbound
and lakes and rivers are locked with
ice against navigation, travel in the
north is almost exclusively by dog
sled. The lowest price at which dogs
can be obtained is $100 a piece, accord-
ing to advices. First-class animals,
such as crack “mushers” pride them-
selves on keeping, are hard to get at
any price and when obtainable cost
several hundred dollars, or as much
as a good horse in the south. Scarci-
ty of dogs, it is said, is due to the neg-
lect of breeding by the Indians.
PLEASANT GAP.
Of the eighteen families moving at
the Gap four will move to Bellefonte
with a view of making that their fu-
ture home.
Some people are unnecessarily
alarmed over the prospect of a coal
strike April 1st. There is no cause for
alarm, as abundant coal is in the
yards to almost carry the consumers
through until next fall. Besides, if
the union men strike there are hun-
dreds of eager men anxious to fill
their places. This is no time to strike
and if the Union persists in putting
into force their threat they might as
well throw up their hands as a strike
now will mean the death knell to Un-
ionism.
Mr. E. Paul Keller, of Philadelphia,
was a visitor at Pleasant Gap over
Sunday. Mr. Keller holds down a re-
sponsible position in the Broad Street
P. R. R. offices. He and his family
have always been classed here as quite
desirable people and hoped that they
would tire of Philadelphia and might
again make Pleasant Gap their future
home. That anticipation is now side-
tracked, as Mr. Keller recently pur-
chased a home at 5824 Angoria Ter-
race, West Philadelphia, a most beau-
tiful residential district. This means
that they anticipate making the Qua-
ker city their permanent home.
Mr. Sumner Miller had a public sale
Saturday last. It was a clean-up sale,
only odds and ends were disposed of
and quite satisfactory prices were re-
alized. About three dozen chickens
were sold which brought $1.85 cents
each, and were only the ordinary spe-
cies. This seems like exorbitant pric-
es, when you take into consideration
that not many years ago the standard
price for chickens was 25 cents per
head. The Miller family will move to
State College in a few days. Mr. Mil-
ler will, however, retain his position
at the penitentiary. Pleasant Gap in
this instance loses another desirable
family.
Absolutism is neither a condition of
society nor nature, and if it were so,
the Creator would be guilty of estab-
lishing monopolies, whereas the very
reverse is the truth. Give Kings their
way, and we would have none other
than monarchial forms of govern-
ment; political parties theirs, and
their administration is superior to all
others; religions theirs, and they close
the doors of the kingdom of Heaven
against all other sects, and Heaven not
being able to control any of them,
fathers them all. Stimulated by a
common origin that may thus regu-
late themselves; and I may add, give
physicians theirs, and their system is
regular and all others quackery. This
being true liberality is the one thing
of greatest interest to humanity and
their Creator—God. The substance of
things constitute the absolute of
things; and since we cannot discern
the substance, we must content our-
selves with the outward forms and
live in a world of formalities, and con-
ventionalities ever dreaming of the
essence of things, but never seeing
them until we shall have awakened in
eternity.
Farmers follow the even tenor of
their way, living honest, economical,
unostentatious lives not imitating the
follies and vanities of the cities which
are becoming such a great weight to
bear as to about crush themselves.
Eschew organization unless it be for
social advantages. You can’t control
the prices of commodities. Watch
carefully the law of supply and de-
mand, and you will always find some
farm produce selling well; and the
fgoresight to see this will be the arbi-
ter of your success; and keep out of
politics farther than to see that we
have a sound currency, state and na-
tional affairs run economically, re-
membering that there should be fewer
politicians and their salaries reduced
materially. The wisdom of God can
understand the exact situation of
things, and if we wish to become God-
like we must not pin our faith to cer-
tain principles, creeds or parties. The
Creator is an anti-monopolist and has
not intended any one party or sect to
have control of things. Give any one
party the opportunity and they would
take everything from heaven to hades
and yearn for more; He has given too
manifoldly of the gaod things of this
world, and made men too eager to
possess them for Him to allow any
one portion to control all.
I have just been thinking that a few
judicious pointers to the parents
might not be amiss. It has been tru-
ly said and demonstrated, that men
and women are but “children of a larg-
er growth,” and it can be readily un-
derstood that the children who have
received proper training will develop
into ladies and gentlemen when they
have reached maturity. As a rule,
children naturally take their parents
as their guides in the matter of man-
ners and conduct; what papa and
mamma do is law and gospel to them.
Of course there are some children who
know more than their parents, and
all other grown persons as well, but
I am not writing of this sort. Parents
should avoid using slang before their
children; for a man to swear when at
home is criminal. If the father
smokes and drinks he sets a bad ex-
ample for his boys. Another thing
parents should never quarrel before
their children, for boys and girls, in
these circumstances, soon lose respect
for them. When the father and moth-
er fly into a passion they frequently
use language they afterward regret—
and which the children never forget.
To be all that a gentleman or lady in
society should be, is far easier when
the advantages of early home train-
ing have been enjoyed. Some parents,
even among the class who should most
thoroughly comprehend the value of
such instruction, are very remiss with
their children. If mothers would re-
member that with the first look of
recognition the child can be taught,
they would be more watchful to give
those instructions that would make all
that followed far easier to acquire.
There is an expression of ease and
self-possession imprinted on the face
of the man who has thus inherited
good breeding which stamps him as
far above his fellows, Remember
home is the school for good manners.

Hunters Want Two-Prong Limit for
Killing Deer.
Changes in the deer laws of Penn-
sylvania which would make the two-
prong the lowest legal limit for shoot-
ing, is being augmented by many
hunting clubs and individual sports-
men.
deer law amended so that bucks, with-
out racks, regardless of the length of
the spike, should not be shot. Sports-
men say that even at a short distance,
it is hard to determine whether the
memes feces seen.
