PLEASANT GAP.
Our farmers are working over time
garnering their abundant crops of hay
and grain.
Hector Griffith was called to Akron,
owing to the death of his only sister,
Mrs. Jim Cree.
Miss Elizabeth Gruber, of Pitts-
burgh, a niece of Mrs. H. J. Griffith,
is a visitor at the Griffith residence.
Mr. and Mrs. Denny McCormick, of
Pittsburgh, are visiting at the home
of their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh
J. Crumlish.
By actual count 1472 automobiles
passed through Pleasant Gap last Sun-
day, going and coming. We think this
is going some.
Paul Keller and family, of West
Philadelphia, spent the past week
with their friends and relatives at the
Gap, returning home on Saturday.
Miss Mary E. Sauer, of Harrisburg,
a pesonal friend of Mrs. Lee Samp-
sel, is making an indefinite visit at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sampsel.
Robert Boyd and his room-mate,
Joseph Brown, from the Keystone
Academy, Scranton, were visitors the
past week at the home of S. E. Noll.
A weiner roast was given on the
Horntown school green. The hot dogs
were in evidence and disappeared in a
jiffy; the same was liberally patron-
ized.
Harry Hartline, head baker of the
Kerstetter bakery, of Curwensville,
spent Sunday with his family, return-
ing to Curwensville on Monday after-
noon.
The best little thing you can do
with your Liberty bonds is to keep
vour hands on them. Small dividends
with good security-are better than big
. profits you can’t get.
The old-fashioned man who used to
have a barrel of eating apples in his
cellar is the father of the modern
man who puts down a barrel of drink-
ing apples. A word to the wise is
sufficient.
Justice of the peace J. D. Herman
and wife returned home from a week’s
visit to Jonestown, adjacent to Ber-
wick, Pa. They spent a most enjoy-
able week with Mrs. Herman’s par-
ents, Rev. and Mrs. McKechnie.
A couple of dollars spent in hiring
a lawyer or in securing a trust com-
pany to draw up a sound will is bet-
ter than many dollars spent by your
widow hiring lawyers to straighten
your affairs. Nels. Robb will agree
with me.
Obey the mandate of temperance
and thus be happy. Elucidation:
Work hard but don’t work yourself to
death; eat heartily but don’t be a
glutton; be saving but don’t be a mis-
er; spend your money but don’t be a
spendthrift. “Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty,” here as well as in
the social world.
When conscience has ceased to be a
governing fact~r in the affairs of so-
ciety, then of a necessity we must go
back to the school of nature and learn
through antagonism and all the se-
vere lessons it teaches, that harmony
is after all the best condition in which
to live. The two great opposing po-
litical parties you will observe are at
this particular time fierce advocates
of harmony.
The vacation of John Herman Jr.
and wife expired on Wednesday last,
when they returned to Philadelphia.
Honest John had a peculiar experience
while here. A friend of his was one
of the depositors in the unfortunate
Centre County bank. The friend was
notified to send in his bank book to be
balanced. The lucky depositor found
that after his book was balanced he
had overdrawn one cent. Being a
farmer he was very busily engaged in
making hay. Good natured John vol-
unteered to return the bank book to
the bank, and owing to his conscien-
tious scruples liquidated the penurious
indebtedness. John says “honesty is
the best of policy.” John’s liberality
knows no bounds.
The Spring township school board
had their annual settlement on July
first. It is gratifying to know that
the board has a balance to their cred-
it of almost $4,000 after paying off
their corps of teachers. Some of the
tax payers think our millage for
Spring township is oppressive. They
don’t take into consideration the fact
that some of the townships are assess-
ed 10 mills more than Spring town-
ship. Few people have any idea of the
amount of money that is required for

purposes. Spring township
ays to the borough of Bellefonte
over $2,700 for tuition alone for High
and public school pupils. Our coal
bills for the term just closed exceeded
$3,000, besides innumerable other in-
cidental expenses. Since intelligence
is the life of liberty we should forbear
kicking.
Our two Sunday schools, the Meth-
odist and Lutheran, will hold their
picnic on Saturday, July 29th. A rec-
ord turnout is anticipated, if weather
conditions are favorable. The two
schools have enrolled over three hun-
dred girls and boys. They are com-
posed of a jolly, lively bunch, hence
it is reasonable to suppose that a most
enjoyable occasion will result. There
was a time when a slight antagonism
prevailed among our churches, but
happily that feeling has been obliter-
ated. The two congregations are do-
ing the proper thing now, working
hand in hand. The good old mothers
are studiously working to make this
an unquestioned success. A famous
writer has said that “A mother’s love
is the only virtue that did not suffer
by the fall of Adam.” Whether Ad-
am fell or not, it is quite clear that
the unselfish love of a good mother is
the crowning glory of the race. Ad-
versity and sorrow may come with all
their terriffic force, but the motherly
affection clings to its idol closely. Her
smile is a solace, her presence a ben-
school
ediction. In exhaustless patience,
hope, faith, and benevolence the
mothers are sure to lead. God
bless the good old mothers! We an-
ticipate a record time on this ccca-
sion.
One of the leading social events of
the Gap was participated in on Mon-
day night, at the Samuel Noll resi-
dence on the occasion of Mrs. Noll’s
birthday. The guests present were
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Gheen, Mr. and
Mrs. R. W. Noll, Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Witmer, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Ker-
stetter, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Crumlish
and Billy, and their guests, Mr. and
Mrs. Denny McCormick; Mrs. W. J.
Griffith and daughter Betty. The
event was a most enjoyable one, and
duly appreciated by all present. Card
playing and dancing were indulged in
until 3 a. m. Some of our people are
opposed to dancing, however, it seems
to be one of the natural habits of man-
kind; an outgrowth of his nature. As
far back as history goes it formed
either a part of religious ceremonies,
or those celebrating important events.
Miriam and Moses led the dance of
triumph when the Israelites landed,
dry-shod on the other side of the Red
Sea. David danced before the Ark,
because of the joy and satisfaction he
felt on account of the prosperity of
the people. Primitive christians danc-
ed in their religious services, but not
by command. Dancing was not re-
garded as a sinful practice prior to
the Puritanic revolt against the church
of Rome and the church of England.
In view of these facts dancing may
be regarded as not seriously objec-
tionable.

PORTLAND CEMENT
Tx last quarter century has seen a big
change in things built—a change largely
caused by building materials—a change from
temporary to permanent structures.
The skyscraper, the efficient factory, the modern
home and farm would be impossible as we find them
today—without concrete.
The concrete structure safeguards money invested,
safeguards life, and safeguards the property or stock it
contains. Through the last quarter century,
; all types of buildi
come to be generally known as ‘the Standard by
