Bellefonte, Pa., July 14, 1922. mm] SHOULD I JOIN THE PENNSYL- VANIA LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS? YES! It is not enough that I have the right to vote. I will, by joining the League, learn how best to use my vote. I will be supplied with information as to candidates, facts as to legisla- tion, and data on all sorts of govern- mental activity, so that when I vote, 1 will know what I am voting for. ‘As a member of the League, I am enabled to “see at a glance” just what is going on in politics, government and legisiation. The Leagne was a real and decisive factor in the most important primary in a decade. This is what the League’s June Bulletin said: “The extreme close- ness of the vote between Mr. Pinchot and his unsuccessful opponent, Attor- ney General Alter, almost conclusive- ly shows that but for the entrance of an entirely new factor, the old State organization, broken up as it was, would have brought about the nomi- nation of Mr. Alter. The question may well be asked: ‘Would the result have been what it was had not the League equipped, trained and organ- ized 'a great army of independent, thinking women voters Jee Women voters played a big part in the Republican primaries; they can play as big a part—in other issues— in the Democratic party—in the next Legislature— if they are forcefully trained along League lines. They will be interested in the 1923 Legislature, no matter what their par- ty, in the League's Legislative pro- gram, which includes: Proper recommendations by the commission for reorganization of the State government. Passage of a county tax revision and assessment law. A call for a constitutional conven- tion. Opposition to repeal or emascula- tion of the direct primary law. A NOTE TO PARTY WOMEN. Women voters do not function through the League only. They will be trained in the League and act through the parties. The League provides women with a common meeting ground for discus- sion. As members of the League, women are stronger and more powerful Re- publicans or Democrats. The League is the only all-partisan organization in existence for the po- litical education of women. eres Aes ee MOUNTAINS FLOAT ON EARTH'S INTERIOR. Mountains float. Cubic yard for cu- bic yard mountains weigh less, not more, than the valleys. The moun- tains are held up by the lighter ma- terial of the earth’s crust flowing un- der them. This has been proved by researches conducted by the division of geodesy of the United States coast and geodetic survey, under the direc- tion of Dr. William Bowie, chief of the division, and his predecessor, Prof. John F. Hayford now with the North- western University. It has been found that the earth’s crust is about 60 miles in thickness and near that depth, probably below the material is yielding to forces which act for long times. The earth’s crust floats on this yielding material. If the earth’s crust were cut into blocks by vertical planes, with the base of each block at a depth of 60 miles below sea level, and the area of the bases of the blocks were the same and as large as 100 miles square, these blocks would have the same mass, that is they would weigh the same. By means of the geodetic observa- tions by the United States coast and geodetic survey, the weight of these blocks have been found to be approx- imately equal. This result had been suspected for decades, but Dr. Bowie and Dr. Hayford have proved it. Geological science will be profound- ly changed by this discovery, for now we know the mountain masses are due to the presence of lighter material in the earth’s crust under them, and that the ocean bottoms are low because the material under them is denser or heavier than the average. Dr. Bowie concludes that there is no tendency for mountain masses to break down through the earth’s crust, as they are not extra loads. They are like the portions of icebergs project- ing out of the water, which are held up by the ice which is below or in the water. The iceberg floats and so does the mounain.—Ex. OAK HALL. Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Reish and fam- ily spent Sunday with relatives at Pleasant Gap. : Mrs. J. C. Valentine, of Pittsburgh, is visiting at the home of her sister, Mrs. L. K. Dale. Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Lowder are re- ceiving congratulations on the birth of a daughter on July 1st. Mrs. Orin Grove, of Montgomery county, is spending an indefinite time at the J. J. Tressler home. Misses Mary and Minnie Shutt and Elizabeth Brouse, all of Boalsburg, were recent guests at the E. C. Radel home in this place. ————————— er ——— Will Prevent Much Sickness. These enervating days are fraught with danger to people whose systems are poor- ly sustained. This leads the makers of Hood's Sarsaparilla to say, in the interest of the less robust, that the full effect of this good old family medicine justifies calling it, not only a blood-purifier but alse a tomie. It is sustaining. It gives strength, aids digestion, promotes refresh- ing sleep, and will prevent much sickness at this time of year. Hood’s Pills, which are gentle and thor- ough, may be taken with jt, in cases where there is need of a cathartic or laxa- 67-27 tive. The Man Who Built the Humes Mill. Writing from Louisburg, Kan., Mr. 0. P. Bell says: “A friend of mine sent me a copy of your paper and in it I saw an ac- count of the burning of the Humes grist mill. My father, William Bell, built it, and if I am not mistaken, quarried the stone on his own farm and dressed them himself. I was a boy about six years old when the mill was built and as I am now in my sev- enty-third year, it can be seen that the mill was built about sixty-seven years ago. My father also built the stone milk house and the wall around the spring. «] hear that great changes have taken place in that section since I left. Mann’s Axe factory is a thing of the past, the old Valentine furnace has been wiped out and the Curtin furnace closed. The picture of those old industries is as vivid in my mind today as it was in reality when, as a barefooted boy, I played about in that locality. “The Fourth here was very quiet. Our band went to 2 neighboring town to furnish music for picnickers. We are having fine weather and the wheat has been cut and awaits stacking. Some growers claim it is not well fill- ed and others are troubled with the chintz bug.” te———— The tree commission has taken the trouble to go over the principal streets of Bellefonte and make an in- spection of the trees, as the result of a complaint made at 2 recent meeting of borough council as to the low limbs overhanging the streets. The mem- bers of the commission found many trees the limbs of which are too low, not only over the street but over the pavements, and property owners are hereby notified that such trees must be trimmed. If the owners fail to do so the commission has authority un- der the law to trim the trees at the owner’s expense. en ——— ——— — Centre county's share of the gasoline tax for the month of May was $1410.47. e——— i e——— JACKSONVILLE. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Daley spent the Fourth at the George Ertley home. Joseph Neff spent the Fourth with friends and relatives at State College. Mr. and Mrs. Leon Ertley and fam- ily spent Sunday at the George Ertley home. Many of our people attended the picnic at Hecla Park on the Fourth and report a very fine time. An automobile load of happy peo- ple, of Beech Creek, visited at the William Weaver home Friday even- ing. jan Foss and Messrs. Harry DeAr- ment and Russell Lucas, of Howard, visited the school building in our town. Mr. DeArment will be the teacher of the grammar room build- ing. Don’t forget the picnic to be held at the Meadow Brook park, (formerly called Ertley’s meadow), on the 29th of this month. This community pic- nic will be better than ever and all who attend will be sure to have a good time. All kinds of amusements have been arranged, including baseball, swimming races, etc. e———— i e——— Real Estate Transfers. R. D. Casselberry, et ux, to John T. Taylor, tract in State College; $1,200.
