Frank Barnes, the recent purchaser of the late Robert Barnes old home- stead, moved into his new home Wed- nesday last. - Postmaster Meyers and his wife, of Boalsburg, visited their son-in-law, Lee Brooks and family, the latter part of last week. Put yourself in harmony with the laws of nature. God and society, and we will guarantee you happiness, long life and prosperity. Life is a game of gives and takes, of advances and retreats, not alto- gether the pleasing of ourselves, but the pleasing of others as well. The heart of a woman is peculiarly formed for tenderness and every kind word and endearment from the man she loves is flattering and soothing to her feelings. Mr. H. C. Faust and family, accom- panied by Miss Fannie McNeeley, of Sunbury, are spending a week at the Jack Noll home, as guests of Miss Jean Fatkin Noll. Frank Armstrong, who left Centre county forty years ago for the far west, and now lives in Oklahoma, is making an indefinite visit with his brother Josh, of the Gap. The young daughter of Harry Ish- ler, residing here, was thrown from a motor truck on Sunday. Her arm was broken. She was conveyed to the Bellefonte hospital for treatment. Good sense is always at a premium. Let the American people while pro- ducing every other thing in excellence, neglect not to foster a good portion of this quality so necessary to success. Frank Barnes purchased the old homestead of the late Robert Barnes, consideration $1,800. Frank was evi- dently glad to obtain the same and has already moved into the home. All the heirs signed off making it possible for Frank to secure the same. Sumner Miller and wife, of State College, and Mr. John T. Noll and wife motored to the old historic Get- tysburg battlefield on Monday morn- ing last. They made a brief stop at Harrisburg and returned home Thurs- day evening last. They enjoyed their trip immensely. Our game fancier, Mr. John Barnes, sold his home at the Gap last week. After disposing of it he regretted his rash action, and on Monday of this week purchased the fine home of Mrs. Keen, and expects to occupy it on Oc- tober 1st. The consideration was $2,200. We are experiencing quite a real estate boom since we can boast of having one of the finest and up-to- date state highways in the State. A man is well-dressed when his clothes attract little or no attention. A dandy is something, or nothing, over-dressed. He is a cross between a masculine woman and a feminine man. His gloved hands are raised in protest against laborious, hard work. He values his head for what he puts on it and not for what he puts in it. No, “fine feathers will not make fine birds,” neither will fine clothes make fine men, the opinion of the snob and pretender notwithstanding. If men rise to prominence accord- ing to their merits, it is difficult for a poor man to reach the head of a gov- ernment, when its business is So much like other business, which we all know, to be successful in, requires not only ‘wisdom but experience; this granted, it is altogether natural why wealthy men work themselves into prominence. The ability they possess as near it in one instance as another. While life and liberty are illy protected what can we expect in securing employment. Butcher Lex is turning a new leaf. He says it is becoming kind of monot- onous when several outside meat mer- chants are in the habit of peddling their wares in and about Pleasant Gap, so he concluded to take a little hand in the same game. He started on Wednesday to make two trips to Bellefonte each week to sell his fa- mous government inspected meats. He thinks Bellefonters know and appre- ciate a good thing when they see it. An enterprising man, if he makes a proper effort, can accomplish wonders. Our butcher is an industrious man— no one can truthfully say that his life is a failure. Pleasant Gap is always in the front rank. We have four complete radio outfits, no cheap affairs, but up-to- date in all details. The owners are Ammon Kerstetter, C. K. Stitzer, Hen- ry Ford Noll and Mr. Albee. The proposition is new to the writer, but to enlighten me somewhat regarding the mysteries of the new and marvel- ous invention Mr. Kerstetter very kindly invited my wife and me last .evening to take in what might be ‘termed a very interesting concert. We -got most of our entertainment from ‘the Detroit News. Among other things they gave us the result of all the baseball games; beautiful solos were rendered, etc. It was very in- teresting and we surely appreciated the treat. 1 rather think we can boast of hav- ing in our community a retired peda- gogue who no doubt is entitled to the belt for Central Pennsylvania, The subject of this notice is Mrs. Emma Weston, who has just passed her 80th milestone. Fifty years of that time was taken up as a very successful school teacher, retiring from her pro- fession ten years ago at the age of seventy years. She taught in Hunt- ingdon, Blair, Centre and Indiana ceunties. Today she is in full posses- sion of all her mental faculties, and is a very agreeable conversationalist. Intelligent, cheerful, contented and happy. She was truly a teacher of taste and judgment, whose well-bal- anced mind was controlled by com- mon sense and conscience. She won ‘her way to a lofty place in her pro- fession, and her literary labor was in perfect accord with her benevolent ties of plums and beautiful life. Her carerr was a grand success. But it is but reasona- ble to suppose that before many years Mrs. Emma Weston will be adimtted to a higher school in the life to come. The plum harvest has just closed for this season, but unfortunately the yield was limited about one-third the usual production. Plums are the best canning and drying fruits grown, and are especially fine for jellies, pre- serves, marmalade and sauces. A few trees in the yard as a source of de- light, for no fruit exceeds the plum for eating out of hand. Many varie- thrive where other trees die. It has been called the poor man’s fruit, because it will grow in back yards and allies, in spite of neglect. Plums are often grown in chicken yards, and do well ander such conditions. It is a splen- did garden fruit and many of the more upright growing varieties can be planted in corners where no other tree will succeed. It pays to take care of the plum as it does for any other fruit, and yet it is to be regretted that so many people neglect to start a few plum trees. Samuel Noll and wife just complete. a twelve day’s vacation. Their first stop was at Harrisburg. From there they proceeded to Philadelphia and re- mained in the Quaker city two days. New York city was their next stop, and it required five days to satisfy their curiosity in taking in the larg- est city and suburbs. Coney Island was much appreciated by them, as was also a trip up the Hudson. On their return they took in Atlantic City for a few days, then returned to Phila- delphia. After spending their allot- ted time they brought John Herman and wife with them to Pleasant Gap; John having secured a vacation until the close of the Grange picnic at Cen- tre Hall. When Sammy makes an oc- .casional trip he, as a rule, makes the most of it, gets all the fun and amuse- ment out of it possible. He says when you understand the pleasures of travel, all nature smiles, the air seems more balmy, the sky more clear, the trees have a richer foliage, the flowers seem. more fragrant, the birds sing more sweetly. Even the sun, moon i stars seem more beautiful. — Subscribe for the “Watchman.” Revaccination of School Children. The Commissioner of Health, through the Division of School Health, has sent letters to all city, borough and first class township boards of health physicians to revaccinate school children, who have been twice unsuc- cessfully vaccinated, and issuing the necessary legal permit required for admission to school. These revaccinations by the board of health physician must be perform- ed each yea: until a successful result has been secured. A certificate sign- ed by a private physician certifying to three unsuccessful vaccinations is not a legal permit for school attend- ance; such permit must be issued by the board of health physician. Attention is called to the standard form of revaccination certificates re- quired. The Supreme court in Lee vs. March, 230 Pennsylvania, page 351, defines vaccination against small- pox as inoculation or the grafting of anti-small-pox virus into the skin, and decreed that it is obligatory to use vaccination certificates conform- ing with the forms prescribed by the Commissioner of Health. The revac- cination or temporary certificates of vaccination are furnished free by the State Health Department and sup- plies have been sent te all boards of health so that there may be no delay as the opening of the fall school term approaches. ———Subscribe for the “Watchman.” Largest Oak in State Near Peters- burg. District frester T. Roy Morton, of Petersburg, Huntingdon county, and Prof. J.S. Illick, while on a field trip, July 12, 1922, found what is probably the biggest oak in Pennsylvania. It stands on a farm one-fourth mile southwest of Neff’s Mills, Huntingdon county, now tenanted by Jackson Briggs and owned by the late Dr. Samuel Gregory, of Mount Union. At the ground the tree measures 39 feet and 9 inches in circumference, and one foot above the ground it measures 29 feet in circumference. At 43 feet above the ground it is 20 feet and 2 inches in circumference. The total height of the tree is 84 feet and the branch spread is 106 feet. : This tree belongs to the variety known as the Bur Oak or Mossy Cup Oak. Acorns will be collected from this giant tree next fall in order” to raise a crop of these thrifty and vig- orous young oaks. MEDICAL. Not Due to Sex Alone Bellefonte Women Have Learned the Cause of Many Mysterious Pains and Aches. Many women have come to know that sex isn’t the reason for all back- aches, dizzy headaches and urinary disorders. Men have these troubles, too, and often they come from kidney weakness. To live simply, eat spar- ingly, take better care of one’s self and to use Doan’s Kidney Pills, is bound to help bad kidneys get better. There is no other remedy so well rec- ommended by Bellefonte people. Ask your neighbor! Mrs. E. E. Aredry, Reynolds Ave., Bellefonte, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills off and on for some time whenever my kidneys have troubled me and they have never failed to help me. My kidneys were weak and out of order and my back ached. I be- came run down, too. Doan’s Kidney Pills from Runkle’s drug store have always relieved - these attacks and strengthened my back and kidneys.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t sim- ply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Ardery had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. 63-33 producing good fruit Advice Not Necessary. Pat Casey and his friend Michael Cassidy were unloading the van in their usual haphazzard fashion, and were handling one barrel very care- lessly. “Hi, there,” said the man in charge of the job, “be very careful with that! It’s gunpowder.” “And phwy?” queried Pat, taking the opportunity of an instant’s rest and argument. : “Why should we handle gunpowder wid sich partic’lar ca-are?” “Well, don’t you know that a bar- rel of that same gunpowder exploded last year and blew ten men to smith- ereens ?” roared the foreman. _ “Oh! then be aisy!” said Pat. “Sure, it couldn’t do that now! There's only two av us here.” tn — A msn, Not a Rooster’s Kick. It was Smith’s first game of foot- ball, and during one of the scrimmag- es he was kicked on the head and pitched forward unconscious. When, after being doused with wa- ter, he at length came to, he shouted: “Who was it kicked me on the head.” . “All right,” said the referee, “it was a foul.” “Fowl!” ejaculated thought it was a mule.” Smith. 4%] ROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION SUBMITTED TO THE CITIZENS OF THE COM- MONWEALTH FOR THEIR APPROVAL OR REJECTION, AT THE ELECTION TO BE HELD ON TUESDAY.
