OLD MR. RYE
Makes a Speech to “Bootleggers.”
I was made to be eaten,
And not to be drank;
To be threshed in a barn,
Not soaked in a tank.
I come as a blessing,
‘When put through a mill;
As a blight and a curse, .
When run through a still.
Make me up into loaves,
And your children are fed;
But, if into drink,
I starve them instead.
In bread I'm a servant,
The eater shall rule;
In drink I am master,
The drinker a fool.
Then remember the warning,
My strength I'll employ;
If eaten, to strengthen;
If drunk, to destroy.
So. Sandersfield, Mass.
LAUGHS AT PASSING YEARS
Veteran Ninety-One Years Young
Rightly an Inspiration to Those
Who Know Him.
Comrade Searles from the Soldiers’
home at Sawtelle was over at San
Gabriel the other day. He came by
way of the trolley car. But he could
have walked easily, had he been so
minded.
Seventy years ago, Comrade Searles
used often to pass the old mission
of San Gabriel when the padres and
the Indians were still there. Sixty
years ago he carried a musket on his
shoulder in the Civil war. He is now
ninety-one years young.
And so he came back to this old
haunt of his the other day. We found
him sitting in the sun by the side of
the king’s highway making sketches.
He drew fascinating pictures of the
incomparably beautiful old campanile
of the mission whose bells rang out
their messages of peace and faith
long before the Liberty bell in the
tower of the State house in Philadel-
phis rang out its deathless message
in 1776. And he also sketched the old
stairway of the mission whose stones
are worn with the feet of countless
Indian neophytes since it was builded,
a century and a half ago. And a fine
sketch, too, of the Old Grapevine which
is the mother of all the vineyards in
California.
And we thought it a delightful expe-
rience to have had. It isn’t every day
that one meets a man ninety-two years
of age who is still es spry as a steel
rod, and whose mind retains all its
magical faculties. It was inspiring.
We were proud to lift our hand to
our eyebrow and stand at salute be-
fore Comrade Searles.—Los Angeles
Times.
BEAR TRAPS FOR BURGLARS
Brooklyn Man Braved Consequences
of Well-Known Old Adage, With
Gratifying Result.
A Mr, Cogan of the Williamsburg
section of Brooklyn, after being vis-
ited by burglars ten times, decided to
depend no longer on Commissioner
Enright. He set a bear trap inside a
window of his home and caught a bur-
glar in it, the New York Herald
states.
That burglar, it may easily be image
ined, will never try housebreaking
again. It is one thing to get caught
at the crime in the ordinary way, to
be taken to a comfortable police sta-
tion, to be released on bail easily
jumped, to be convicted even, and
sent to a prison where there-are good
food and motion pictures. But it is
quite another thing for the crimiaai
to feel the iron jaws of a bear trap
close on his leg. A bear trap does not
coddle or release on bond.
Unfortunately, every householder
cannot safely set # bear trap for
burglars. He might accidentally catch
himself or his wife or the children or
‘the dog. It it were not for that the
whole town might well turn trapper.
Electrified.
A third of the farm land in Sweden
now uses electricity for power. Farm-
ers over there are beginning to make
inquiries about electrically-propelled
plows and harrows. Many of them
use electric saws to cut their firewood
and lumber. Some even have electric
elevators that lift whole wagon loads
of hay and grain to the mow.
Swedish government officials pre-
dict it’ll only be a few years until
practically their whole country will be
on an electrical basis.
‘Where does the power come from?
Usually, large water-power plants.
But many Swedish farmers dam small
streams and use the falling water te
generate their own,
A tip there for American farmers,

i Personal Interest.
Mr. Dunn stood up in court, charged.
with disorderly conduct, his head
swathed in bandages, and demanded a
trial by jury.
“It's only a minor offense,” advised
the judge. “Why not plead guilty, pay
a small fine and get it over?”
“No, judge,” replied Mr. Dunn de-
terminedly. “I want a trial by jury.
The last thing I remember was when
I was standing percefully on the cor-
ner and that big guy wandered along.
The next thing was when two doc-
tors were sewing me up. Unless I
have a trial and hear witnesses I nev-
er will find out what I called the big
stiff.”
VELVET FOR UTILITY SUIT
Yards and yards of black velvet
were utilized by the Paris maker to
construct this warm utility suit. Di-
vided effect is given by the embroid-
ery down the front of the skirt while
soft gray fur edges the cuffs and hem.
FASHION FRILLS
Skirt manufacturers drop a hint to
the stout woman in announcing that
the box-plaited designs are the best
for a stout figure, if the skirt has a
dark hipline.
Circular earrings, usually a circle
of jet or ebony within a larger circle,
and long pendants are worn by the
best-dressed women. Some women
wear very large ones, almost canni-
balistic in effect.
Gay color has its greatest oppor-
tunity in evening gowns for young
girls. The empire period has given
the inspiration for the youthful evwe-
ning dresses, making wearers look
like venerated ancestors. The skirts
are large, full with hips extended.
Black remains supreme in the fash-
ion of Paris. Despite a severe on-
slaught by advocates of color, the su-
preme council of style has been forced
to retain the conventional black as the
dominant motif of winter modes apd
there is every indication that colors,
except in minor trimming effect, will
not be able to challenge black until
late spring.
Dressmakers quietly gathered to-
gether before winter models were
given to the world and tacitly agreed
that colors—and dressmakers—should
have a chance. One black gown, care-
fully selected, takes the place of two
or three dresses of different colors.
But the French women who are indi-
cators of the newest developments in
style said a very emphatic “No.” The
demand was for black and the big
dressmakers bowed to the inevitable.
Crepe moroccan, velvetine and peri-
laine are the most popular materials.
The corset makers have been slight-
ly more successful in their efforts to
bring the corset back into its own.
Dressmakers are insisting that corsets
are now necessary to give the ‘“‘uncor-
seted look.” This propaganda has suc-
ceeded in some instances, but most |
French women, having fought and won
their freedom, are loath, in the lan-
guage of a famous French actress, “to
jail their bodies again.”
——The business district of New
York city is said to have the most
brilliantly illuminated streets and
buildings in the world. Seven thous-
and people, and five thousand tons of
coal a day, are needed to keep some
twelve million lights aglow.—Kind

A Bellefonte Man
Gives Evidence
His Testimony Will Interest Every
Bellefonte Reader.
The value of local evidence is indis-
putable. It is the kind of evidence we
accept as true because we know we
can prove it for ourselves. There has
been plenty of such evidence in the
Bellefonte papers lately, and this
straightforward testimony has estab-
lished a confidence in the minds of
Beilefonte people that will not be ea-
sily shaken.
Joseph Alters, carpenter, 310 E.
Bishop St., Bellefonte, says: “I suf-
fered for a long time with backache
and kidney complaint. My back ached
s0 badly I could hardly keep on the
job. It was hard for me to do heavy
lifting or sawing. My kidneys acted
too often at times and the secretions
were scanty and highly colored. I
used Doan’s Kidney Pills from the
Parrish Pharmacy and they helped
me so much I kept on using them. My
back is now well and strong and I am
free from the trouble.”
