Government Hospital, Akiak, Alaska, February 26th, 1922. Yesterday and today have been quite spring-like, and the muddy brown earth is showing through the snow in many places. Of course, I know we cannot expect spring yet a while but it surely seems very close. The days are getting so long that we can eat breakfast at eight and dinner at six without artificial light and it is hard to realize that I am in Alaska that used to seem so cold and far to the north, but the old inhabitants say this has been the mildest winter known in years. During the past week the natives gave their yearly dance in their “town hall, the cashim.” They had been preparing for it for weeks and ‘each night some of the population gathered there for practice. I drew you a “cashim” in my last letter but if you can’t understand my drawing, blame it on my pen-craft and not on the architect for the “cashim” is sim- ple—a big cave, or half-cave, since the roof is made of timber but cover- ed by several feet of earth and on the outside resembles a huge ant hill. The date of the performance was finally set and news of it was carried north and south by native teams so that when the day arrived, the teams with the visitors began to arrive ear- ly. One knows when a team comes into the village for pandemonium breaks loose among the dogs. Tues- day was the big day and the uproar kept up all day. About eight o’clock that night, after an almost constant string of patients from far and wide, all of us put on our outside wraps and went to the dance. Down into the lit- tle hole we went, into a little room perhaps six by eight feet and through this into a two-foot wide passage-way about five feet long and three high, thence into a room about twenty feet square and twelve high with timbers smoked absolutely black; around the entire room ran the regular bench, three feet above the earth floor. When we arrived the place was jam- med to its limit with about two hun- dred and fifty people, but they allow- ed us to squeeze in and made room for us to sit on a log just below the bench. We hoped no cooties would start wan- dering for we were in good position to catch them as they fell. We had scarcely gotten in when the perform- ance started. The wealthy men of the village began coming in carrying huge bundles and dragging after them heaps and heaps of reindeer skins, big bundles of “love-tak” from which soles of boots are made; bundles of squirrel skins, a comfort (filled with cotton, I think), and almost anything you could think of. The old chief of the village was seated at one side and announced that an old woman from one of the other villages and who had no man to provide for her had asked for aid; then he took from his bag a squirrel parka, holding it above his head that all could see, then the end of a piece of muslin was handed to the one sitting nearest and was stretched to its entire length by being passed to the next—to show how long a piece had been given—and he added many more things. As he ceased speaking, one of the others added to the gifts, the comfort, several cakes of soap, enamel dishes, knives, forks, spoons, tea, coffee, sack of flour, gingham, bolt of canvos, hides and hides and hides. The old woman did not get all of this but a very nice pile of things was put aside for her. A second “old woman” was provided for in a similar manner and the remainder was piled in the middle. It was almost eleven o'clock by the time this stuff was all given out and then the chanting be- gan. Nasal and unmusical but, when accompanied by the six drums, made of skin stretched on a ring and held by the handle of wood, that were struck in unison with a thin whip, the effect was certainly weird. A man, seated in the crowd, got up and went forward and, taking a feather fan in each hand, began to gesticulate, keep- ing time with the drums. But I promised this would be only a short letter, as I feel sure you have had enough of long ones for awhile, and as I have rambled over three pages, I'll stop right here and save the rest to tell you next time. Yours, ELOISE. ——Don’t overlook the fact that all the stores in Bellefonte will begin the observance of the Thursday afternoon half holiday next week, June 1st. Make your purchases accordingly. fonte, died at the All Souls hospital, Morristown, N. J., last Sunday, fol- lowing a serious operation. He was a son of Liuet. W. H. Bible, who served during the Civil war in the 148th regiment, under Gen. James A. Beaver. Frank Bible was born in Bellefonte in 1852, hence was past six- ty-nine years of age. His boyhood life was spent in Bellefonte and at Osceola Mills, and it was while living at the latter place that the family got word that the husband and father had met his death on the battlefield. Mrs. Bible then moved to Houserville and it was there the subject of this notice grew to manhood. Early in life he took a great interest in polities and in due course of time was elected recor- der of deeds for Centre county, serv- ing two terms. At the conclusion of his second term he became editor of the Centre Democrat, a position he filled several years. He studied law under Col. J. L. Spangler and in due time was admit- ted to practice at the Centre county bar, but later went to Tionesta, then to Charleroi. Some fifteen years ago, at the solicitation of his son, Rev. F. W. Bible, a Presbyterian missionary in China, he went to Hang Chow, where he became instructor in English in a Presbyterian college. Later he be- came an instructor in constitutional law in the law department of the Uni- versity of Soochow, China. Mr. Bible was literally a self-edu- cated man. Always a great reader and student of the best literature he attained a knowledge of the history of the world possessed by few men. He was possessed of a wonderfully re- tentive memory, and was thus able to write and converse intelligently on any subject, political, historical or otherwise. He spent eleven years in the Orient and had a great and sym- pathetic admiration for the Chinese. Returning to this country Mr. Bi- ble took up his residence with his son Guy, of Madison, N. J., and engaged in the practice of law in Philadelphia, being a member of the law firm of Horace T. Potter & Co. His wife and three children preceded him to the grave but surviving him are two sons and one daughter, namely: Rev. Frank W. Bible, missionary in China; Guy P. Bible, a prominent business man in Philadelphia, and Miss Alice Mary Bible, an instructor in the schools at Passaic, N. J. He also leaves one brother and two sisters, Prof. George P. Bible, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Anna Eyer, of Tacoma, Wash., and Mrs. Lizzie Bird, of San Diego, California. The remains were brought to Belle- fonte on Tuesday and taken to the home of Prof. Bible, on east Curtin street, where funeral services were held the same afternoon. Rev. David R. Evans, of the Presbyterian church, was in charge and was assisted by Rev. M. DePui Maynard, of the Epis- copal church. Burial was made in the Union cemetery. I I BATHURST.—W. Zebulon Bathurst died at his home in Orbisonia, Hunt- ingdon county, on Tuesday of last week, following an illness of several weeks with pneumonia. He was a son of Thomas and Char- lotte North Bathurst and was born in Bellefonte in 1851, hence was in his seventy-first year. The early part of his life was spent in this vicinity, working as a day laborer at whatever he could find to do. About thirty years ago he went to Huntingdon where he was employed until fifteen years ago when he entered the minis- try as a supply in the Methodist church. Since then he had filled ap- pointments at Sandy Ridge, Shade Gap, Mount Union and Orbisonia. Owing to the comparatively small sal- ary paid at the above places he also engaged in other employment during the week and preached on Sunday. While at Sandy Ridge he worked in the brick works and at Orbisonia he was station agent for the railroad company. A man of limited educa- tion and meagre opportunities during his youth and young manhood his work in the last few years of his life deserves great credit. He never married but is survived by one sister and a brother, Mrs. Jen- nie Hines, of Mingoville, and Edward Bathurst, of Niagara Falls. The fun- eral was held at 2:30 o’clock last Sat- urday afterncon burial being made at Orbisonia where he finished his labors in the Master’s cause. His sister, Mrs. Hines, Charles and Paul Hines and J. E. Herman, of Min- goville; David and Zebulon Miller, of Bellefonte, went to Orbisonia for the funeral. SATCEIMAN Willian A. Sau- cerman, a well known railroad shop- man of Altoona, died at his home in that city on Monday morning after a brief illness with pleuro-pneumonia. He was a son of William and Lucy Saucerman and was born at McAle- vy’s Fort on December 14th, 1856, hence was in his sixty-sixth year. A portion of his early life was spent at Pine Grove Mills and in 1878 he mar- ried Miss Anna Hammer, of Ferguson township. Shortly thereafter they lo- cated in Altoona and that had been his home ever since. For forty-two years he had been an employee of the Pennsylvania railroad company, for a number of years being a coremaker in the South Altoona foundry. He was a member of the Odd Fel- lows lodge of Altoona, the Eencamp- ment, Patriarchs Militant and the Uni- form Rank of the I. O. O. F. He be- longed to the Maccabees, Eleanor Re- bekah Lodge, Veteran I. O. O.

He also leaves the following brothers and sis- ters: Robert F., of Altoona; David and Mrs. Sarah Daily, of Kansas City, Mo.; John, of Oregon, and Mrs. Ada Krebs, of Pine Grove Mills. Funeral | services were held at his late home at | two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, after which burial was made in the Oak Ridge cemetery, Altoona. ll I SPITTLER.—Ira V. Spittler, an employee of the General Refractories company, at Sandy Ridge, died at the Cottage State hospital, Philipsburg, on Sunday, following a week’s illness with peritonitis. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Perry Spittler and was born at Bald Eagle thirty-nine years ago. He never married but is survived by his father and the following brothers and sisters: John, Edward and Mrs. Percy Weitz, all of Bald Eagle. Bur- ial was made at Bald Eagle on Wed- nesday afternoon. | ! Sarah E. Ross, wife of Charles H. Ross, died at her home in Altoona on Saturday evening follow- ing an illness of several years with sarcoma. She was a daughter of Pe- ter and Susan Rearick and was born in Millheim, this county, on Septem- ber 11th, 1860, hence was 61 years, 8 months and 3 days old. She is sur- vived by her husband but no children. Burial was made in the Oak Ridge cemetery, Altoona, on Tuesday after- noon. eek Boy’s Conference at College. Older State At least 200 boys from all parts of Centre county are expected to attend the first annual Centre county “older boy’s conference” to be held at State College today, tomorrow and Sunday, May 26th to 28th inclusive. This is an innovation on the part of The Pennsylvania State College students in the extension department of the Penn State Y. M. C. A. There will be from two to four boys go as delegates from every Sunday school in the coun- ty. The general theme will be rural leadership and the purpose is to in- spire rural boys to leadership, clean moral life and aggressive Christian fellowship. One adult will attend for every five boys from each community. Ralph S. Adams, a member of the Senior class in the agricultural school at State College, is the leader of the movement and chairman of the Y committee. President John M. Thomas will be one of the speakers at the conference. Others will include Bill Wood, former foothall captain at State; Fred B. Freeman, county work secretary of the National Y. M. C. A.; J. H. Brew- er, field secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Pennsylvania; L. M. Miller, stu- dent secretary of student Y. M. C. A. work in Pennsylvania; Rev. F. Stamm, pastor of the Reformed church at State College; Dean R. L. Watts, Dr. S. W. Fletcher, Prof. R. G. Bressler, and Prof. W. V. Dennis, of the agri- cultural school faculty. This is the first time that the stu- dent Y at Penn State has attempted anything of the kind and they hope to make it an annual feature. It is the climax of the most successful year ever experienced in extension work at the State College Y hut. This meth- od of service has been wonderfully de- veloped in the past two or three years. A Voice from Sandy Ridge. Editor “Democratic Watchman:” The citizens of Sandy Ridge and vi- cinity who have been working to rid their community of bootleggers and kindred undesirables are very much pleased with the salty sentences re- cently given Rush township bootleg- gers and with the revoking of the no- torious Sandy Ridge hotel license by Judge Quigley, of Bellefonte. Sandy Ridge citizens recently crit- icised the officials at Bellefonte who have to do with the punishment of these offenders, but now feel that the fault lies elsewhere. A certain con- stable who boasted he knew of thirty stills in operation in his bailiwick, and who claimed there was no use in reporting them, as they had the pro- tection of county officials, has caused people to wonder how, or if, he swore everything was right in his bailiwick when he knew these conditions exist- ed. From these experiences Sandy Ridge people feel that if other com- munities which have criticised offi- cials for sympathy with the bootleg- gers were to spend their energies in securing proper evidence, convictions would follow, and Centre county can be made an unprofitable field for this class of eriminals. Rik» Scout News of Troop No. 1. We had three stands on Friday, two on the circus grounds conducted by the Wolf patrol and one on the Dia- mond in charge of the Eagle patrol. The bad weather doubtless reduced our sales, but at that hot dog sand- wiches were in demand and we real- ized enough to justify the effort put forth. We also had a stand on Hughes field during the track meet on Satur- day. The Troop made its first public ap- pearance in their new uniforms on Friday and marched from the High school building to Hughes field. We are anxiously waiting for that ball game with the Boalsburg troop. DAVID GEISS, Scribe. ——The Academy swimming pool BIBLE.—Frank E.

It will be gratifying to the people of Centre county to know that the woman who was nominated for the Legislature last week by the Demo- cratic voters is one who is known most favorably wherever she is known at all. In referring to the trend of public opinion toward securing public offi- cials of the highest integrity and qualifications the Journal of Com- merce, of Philadelphia, in its issue of Saturday, April 8th, made the follow- ing very complimentary reference to the aspirations of Miss Zoe Meek: General and widespread public in- trest is being displayed at the present time in the merits and qualifications of candidates for the Legislature and other positions and there seems to be a general and widespread determina- tion on the part of the great masses of the people to support for such po- sitions of trust and responsibility only that type of men and women who have clearly and conclusively demon- strated their worth, fitness and quali- fications by reason of strong charac- ter and inherent ability. Positive and fruitful reform in the conduct of Gov- ernmental affairs no matter in what branch they may be related, can only be made of effective and permanent value by the selection of capable and honest men and women, and it is for this reason that the candidacy of Miss Zoe Meek, of Clarence, Pa., for the Legislature should be heartily and cor- dially supported by those who have the welfare of the community at heart. Miss Meek is well qualified to fill the office to which she aspires. She has filled the position of assistant super- intendent of schools in Philipsburg and had charge of the schools at Clar- ence before being appointed post-mis- tress. It seems reasonably certain that should Miss Meek be elected to the Legislature, that she will respond with such a capable and competent admin- istration of the duties of the office in such a manner as will reflect credit upon herself personally and redound to the benefit of the community at large.

A large number of lot own- ers pay the cemetery association to keep the grass and weeds cut but the effect of nicely trimmed lots is sadly marred by numerous grass-covered and weed-grown lots in every portion of the cemetery. Respect for their dead ought to be an incentive for everybody to keep their last resting place in order. — UE CRETONNES Curtain Goods Ready Made Sash Curtains GARMAN’S ST TRE
