—— Bem ca Bellefonte, Pa., May 26, 1922. Country Correspondence Items of Interest Dished Up for the Delectation of “Watchman” Read- ers by a Corps of Gifted Correspondents. PLEASANT GAP. That stinginess that keeps people from spending money foolishly is a virtue. Our enterprising butcher, Joseph Lex, expects to reopen his shop in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Collins Baumgardner motored to Tyrone on Sunday to spend a day with friends in that thriv- ing little railroad centre. The only way to make chronic grumblers repent of their folly is to increase their calamities until they can see that their former condition was the happier. Only thirty per cent. of the legal voters of the South precinct of Spring township cast their ballots at the re- cent primary election. About the same percentage of men and women responded. It matters not of what people ac- cuse you, you are not justified in hold- ing them in contempt, because that is a propensity of vicious minds, and, therefore, cannot be assumed in dem- onstration of superior virtue. Dr. Barlett left for Scranton, on Monday, where he will be in the lime- light at the great Masonic blowout in session there this week. Dr. Dale, of Bellefonte, is looking after the doc- tor’s patients during his absence. Three auto loads of old-time gypsies pulled up to the cross roads at the Gap last Sunday, and dispensed with a sumptuous lunch on the Ephriam keller lawn. They were quite orderly, and attracted a crowd of observers. Harry Corl and wife, of Wstmore- land county, were over Sunday visit- ors at the home of Mrs. Jonathan Bil- ger. Mr. Corl returned hame on Sun- day evening but Mrs. Corl was pre- vailed upon to remain here for several weeks. Mrs. Swoope’s genteel canvass at the Gap in the interest of her husband was quite prolific in results at our re- cent primary, as predicted. The shrewd lady gave it as her opinion that he, only, isa true statesman whose labors are devoted to the pres- ervation of liberty. The Deity has created man for ac- tion, and surrounded him with every means to develop it. When a small boy with face aglow, straining every nerve to get the most marbles, he is the same as though the scene was for a race for Governor or the business patronage of the community. Good is seven times more influen- tial than evil; salt is seven times stronger than the thing it preserves; the right amount of good performed on Sabbath day would save the evil of the other six days, but alas, much of it is divided into doing homage to evil even by professed christians themselves. The closing of the old landmark, the Centre County Banking Co., two weeks ago, has caused no more alarm than the falling of a leaf in this com- munity. Our people seem to have the utmost confidence in the honesty and integrity of the stockholders of the institution. Some of the depositors may be slightly inconvenienced for a time, but all seem satisfied that mat- ters will be satisfactorily adjusted in course of time. Instead of condemn- ing and denouncing the unfortunate institution, all view the situation in a philosophical way. The sympathies of our people are with the bank. About half of our high school pu- pils participated in the county high school athletic events on Hughes field on Saturday, all of whom were elated beyond expression. Pleasant Gap boys and girls joined the races, the shot put, the ball throw and the broad jump, every feature of which bids fair to result in lasting benefit. The praises sounded by our represen- tatives are numerous. Efficiency, en- durance, stronger muscles, faster and deeper respiration, dilated arteries, development of skill and physical vig- or are apparent conditions. Learning on the athletic field increases the re- serve power of the mind. Jean Noll, Vera Hile, Ida Markle, Ruth Barner, Leonard Peters, Walter Wolford, George Caber, Randall Keller and Da- vid Weaver were active participants. The joys the day afforded will not be forgotten.

I Copyright, 1921 by McClure Newspaper Syndicate, will get a very full return from the opportunities the contest afforded. When a cool-headed woman sets herself to entrap a man she is very apt to succeed, especially if she is nearing that age when ladies object to leaving the family record where every Tom, Dick and Harry can get at it. She may love him, and she may not. If she does not she will proba- bly tie him with her apron string, and go on striving to catch one who suits her better. You may be sure she will not let her prisoner loose until after she has entrapped another more to her liking. She is not to blame for trying to get a lover to her taste, but it is rot exactly right for her to keep a poor fish on the trout-line until it is starved or worn out, and then throw it back into the stream again when she gets another. There is probably more dishonesty practiced in match- making than in any other branch of business pertaining to society. Shrewd, ambitious mammas resort to a varie- ty of tricks to get their children well fixed in life, but not more than the children themselves. They study to seem what they are not, adopt methods which would be considered dishonora- ble in business affairs, and bring in- fluence to bear that would shock a politician. Men profess to be highly moral put on the appearance of being in easy circumstances, and even go so far as to make great pretentions as to what they are worth. The facts may be exactly the reverse of all this, their sole object being to get wives who are able to keep them. The woman who falls a prey to a swindler of this stamp is truly an ob- ject for pity, but not more so than the man who gets roped in by a woman who marries merely to keep out of the old maid row. In such instances there is no rest, no happiness, no comfort, but it is their own choosing and they must abide the consequences. How- ever, the young man who is not smart enough to discover that he is being played for oysters, ice cream, picnics, balls and operas, deserves to be pinch- ed severely. It may be no fault of his that he is so short-sighted, for he may have been born that way, yet a real hard pinch may improve his sight. The same may be said of a majority of the young ladies who suf- fer from laceration of the heart. Civ- ilization refuses to sanction any style of test beyond that of honest public marriage. Young people should be honest enough towards each other to make their intentions known. If they are going together for fun, it had better be understood. If the friendship de- velops into love there will be no trou- ble in adjusting matters to the change, and if it should not, or if new attach- ments be formed, neither party can charge the other with unfaithfulness. Young men often regret that their spouse takes love matters so serious- ly, but lack the courage to talk with her plainly on the subject, and allows her to drift on and on until at last he is compelled to abandon her abruptly or marry her. If he is tender-hearted and does not want to make her miser- able for a time he marries her—and makes her miserable for all time. RUNVILLE. William Resides, of Tyrone, spent Tuesday at the home of L.

Ap- proximately 800 newspaper corres- pondents were invited for the first performance, after which dress re- hearsals were held for two days in preparation for the formal opening on May 14. . Visitors this year find a striking significance in the origin of the play because of the recent prevalence of contagious diseases resulting from the famine in Russia. It was due to the terrible pestilence ravaging that coun- try in 1683 that the survivors of Ob- erammergau in the following year vowed to give a representation of the life of Christ regularly thereafter as an atonement for their sins. ciated by the recent rejection by An- ton Lang, the leading actor, of the Unusual international interest in this year’s revival is manifested.

The management has been bombarded more than ever with financial schemes, all of which has been declined scru- pulously in the spirit of the original vow. The lofty ideals inspiring the cast and producers are further enun- tional friendship. It was proposed that the play should be staged, as at Oberammergau, in a huge open-air theatre in New York, with Lang head- ing the cast. Whatever profit might be made, the American syndicate pro- posed, could be devoted to the popu- lace of Oberammergau. “The good and friendly people of America,” said the proposal, “would receive you with love and send you back with benedictions and dollars.” Lang, an upland villager, replied modestly thanking the syndicate and expressing appreciation of the spirit of the offer, but declining because to do so would make him feel like an “uprooted tree.” He agreed that a new international spirit of kindliness should prevail, and that the Passion Play well could contribute thereto, but continued: “I am not a professional actor; I am in Oberammergau and cannot give up the conditions and traditions of my village. The Passion Play for us is the fulfillment of a vow which our an- cestors have given. We shall never forget this fact. Were I to do so, it would undermine the power of relig- ious experience which has enabled me to give any performances, and I should not be able again to properly impersonate the Saviour.” He also revealed the fact that an American offer was rejected in 1914, providing for high weekly salaries for himself and two other members of the cast.—Reformatory Record. sec———— | A year ago— almost unknown Today —a leader °9 cigarettes A sweeping verdict for QUALITY a Nash Leads the World in Motor Car Value HE secret of Nash success is nothing more or less than the open secret of . building a better product and offering a greater value.
