“Who's the stranger. mother dear?
Look! He knows us —ain't he queer!”
“Hush, my own. don't talk so wild;
He's your father, dearest child.
“He's my father? No such thing!
Father died away last spring.”
“Father didn’t die, you dub!
Father joined a golfing club.
But they've closed the club, so he
Has no place to go, you see—
No place left for him to roam—
That is why he’s coming home.
Kiss him; he won't bite you, child;
All them golfing guys look wild.”

Resolutions of the County W. C. T. U.
Convention.
The Centre County W. C. T. U. con-
vention held in Philipsburg, Septem-
ber 14th and 15th, was well attended
and very helpful. Much good work
was reported and done the past year
and much outlined for the coming
year.
The prominent speakers were Mrs.
Culla J. Vayingher, national W. C. T.
U. director, Americanization and ex-
president of the Indiana State W. C.
T. U.; Dr. Arthur Holmes, ex-presi-
dent of Drake University, Iowa, and
now dean of men at the University of
Pennsylvania, and prohibition director
Davis, of Philadelphia. All the gen-
eral officers were re-elected for the
coming year, as published in the
“Watchman” two weeks ago, and the
key note of the convention was “more
spirituality and the return to the
family altar and increased study of
the Bible.” The following resolutions
were adopted and the convention clos-
ed with all standing in a huge circle
with clasped hands singing, “Blest be
the Tie that Binds,” ending with a
prayer by Mrs. Vayingher.
Resolved, That in this day of mad
seeking after pleasure and decline in spir-
itual life manifest on every hand, we
urge that persisent effort be made to se-
cure a deeper study of the Bible and a re-
vival of the old-time family altar and that
our motto for the year be “Back to the
Bible, back to the family altar.”
That since the standard of excellence is
a good way to bring up the work and
gain recognition, we urge that all locals
plan, early in the year, to reach all points,
and thus secure the prize awarded.
There never was a period when our gov-
ernment so needed the intelligent support
of ‘every citizen as today; we urge organ-
ization of classes on christian citizenship
in every loeml union.
Realizing that the help of the young
people is needed if the temperance work is
to grow, we pledge our hearty support
and co-operation to the county secretary
of the Y. P. B. and put forth special ef-
fort to enlist the young people of Centre
county in temperance work.
We wish to emphasize the fact which
has been scientifically demonstrated, that
alcohol is a poison and urge anew the
need of personal abstinence.
With thirty-two organizations working
to repeal the Kighteenth amendment, every
woman should be alert, demanding efficient
enforcement and upholding the efforts ef
honest officials in their work for civic
righteousness.
That our members attend faithfully to
their political duties, both on primary
and election days.
That they seek enlightenment through
every agency that they may meet the vio-
lators of the law intelligently and teach
them that the law is the schoolmaster that
brings them to God.
That we stand for peace and are opposed
to war and pledge our support to every
effort that is made to bring about world
peace.
That we urge our local unions to hold
live, wide-awake meetings with programs
that will challenge every woman to a
worth-while effort to increase the member-
ship of the Centre County Woman's Chris-
tian Temperance Union.
That we are grateful to the white rib-
boners of Philipsburg, to the press, to the
speakers, to those who sang so beautifully,
to all who have aided in the success of
this convention. We thank them heartily
for every courtesy shown and pray the
blessing of the Heavenly Father on all.

Warning Against Typhoid During
Low Water.
From the State Health Department.
Pennsylvania has escaped severe
outbreaks of typhoid fever in the last
two years largely because wide
knowledge of the ways to prevent the
disease has been scattered broadcast.
The prolonged drought is giving
health authorities and water compa-
nies throughout the State much con-
cern, and the State Health Commis-
sioner has issued a warning against
the use of water from untested sourc-
es without first boiling it. He said:
“Wells and springs noted as never
failing sources of water supply are
going dry. This means that many
families are forced to use water from
untested sources, which may be pol-
luted with typhoid fever or dysentery
erms.
“Where this has happened, boil for
10 minutes all water used for drinking
purposes; for cleansing the teeth or
rinsing the mouth; for washing fruits
or vegetables which are eaten raw.
The flat taste can be removed from the
drinking water by pouring it back and
forth from one open vessel to another
after it has cooled.
“When the rains arvive they may
wash accumulated impurities into
wells and springs, so do not stop
boiling the water as soon as the reg-
ular supply is replenished. Pump the
well until the water in the pit has been
changed two or three times. Clean
out the spring and see that the walls
and cover are tight, and allow the
water to run off for at least twenty-
four hours before using it for drink-
ing purposes.”

It’s all here and It’s all true;
ODESSA SEALS HOUSES TIGHT.
“Odessa, where newspaper dispatch-
es say the flag of rebellion against
the Moscow bolshevist regime is
flaunting its colors, will very soon
seal up its houses for the winter sea-
son,” says a bulletin of the National
Geographic society from its Washing-
ton, D. C., headquarters.
“One peculiarity of this important
port of the Black sea, as well as of
other Russia citiec, is that during the
first frosty days of the fall the ho-
tels and private houses put up their
double doors and windows and there-
after go through the entire winter
without once opening an aperture un-
less it proves necessary to come in or
go out of the house. Some say that
the inhabitants even go so far as to
stop up all the cracks with cotton bat-
ting. To American and English fresh
air fiends an elegant reception in
Odessa during the winter session is
not an adulterated pleasure.
“The Odessans have another pecu-
liarity which strikes the average com-
fort-loving American as the acme cf
queerness. The men, particularly the
army officers, wear their winter over-
coats all during the summer season re-
gardless of how hot it gets. It is
hard to imagine a dashing captain of
the cavalry equipped in the outfit
which he is supposed to wear into the
frozen north, promenading down the
main boulevard with a charming
young girl clad in a dainty summer
frock.
“The gay city,—for it has the rep-
utation of being one of the maddest
for pleasure on the whole continent—
has its pathos. It is one of the main
embarkation points for the thousands
of Russian pilgrims who can each
year leave their country for the Holy
Land. Many of them, old men and old
women who never expect to see their
native land again, and know that they
are probably on their last earthly
journey, have marched on foot hun-
dreds of miles to Odessa.
“But mad-cap and merry the city
usually is to all outward appearances.
In its streets, which are well paved
and nearly always shaded with long
lines of trees, the people laugh and :
lunch in the most light-hearted fash-
ion. Few of them have real homes.
They live in apartments attached to
their places of business. Behind a
hardware store, a bakery or a shoe-
shop, or adjoining the offices of a
lawyer or an insurance agent you will
find the rooms in which his family is
living, and the public restaurant is the
family dining room. .
“One-third of Odessa’s 600,000 in-
habitants are Jews, and their initia-
tive and business acumen have earn-
ed for them the most responsible
places in most of the industrial en-
terprises in the city, as well as the
prejudice of the native Russians. But
so irresponsible have the younger men
among their own countrymen become
because of their indulgence in gam-
bling and dissipation of all kinds, that
Russian peasants prefer to do their
business through the Jews.
“When evening drops her cloak
over the city, the night is filled with
musie, and the cares that infested the
day, if there ever were any, steal
away like the Arabs in the poem. The
farmer from the middle west or the
manufacturer from New England
would be inclined to wonder if these
night revelers ever did any work, so
late into the night do they laugh, talk
and play, but by the early forenoon
business is humming in the marts of
men, as it does in any other big city.
“About twenty years ago Odessa
shipped out yearly through the Black
Sea nearly three million tons of grain
or about one-fourth of that exported
from Russia, but she failed to keep
apace with invention in her freight-
handling machinery and recently Nik-
olaief, Kherson and Rostof-on-the-Don
| have been sapping the influx of pro-
' duce which was the life-blood of the
| city. Sebastopol, too, has been one of
' the factors in the defeat of Odessa.
| The harbor of the former city is one
| of the best on the Black Sea, and
has the advantage that it never
freezes, while that of Odessa is ice-
clogged for two or three weeks every
winter.
“Odessa is one of the newest towns
of any importance in the former Rus-
sian Empire. In 1810 according to
the first census taken, its population
was 9,000. But it is located on a bay
nedr the northwest curve of the Black
Sea, not far from the mouths of the
Dnieper and the Dniester rivers, and
it grew rapidly. When Turkey ceded
this area to Russia, Catherine the
Great decided she would develop the
little Turkish fortress called Khodja-
| bey into a mighty city which would
| prove an important Russian base near
| the hated Constantinople. So Odes-
i sa had its beginning.”

GRIFFON
What's Correct?
Style isn’t yet determined by law.
In men,s clothes a great deal de-
pends upon the viewpoint of the
makers in interpreting the mode.
Griffin Clothes are singular in this
respect.
The extreme and the bi-
zarre are sacrificed on the altar of
good taste when Griffon style is
created,
For fall we introduce all the exclu-
sive touches in men’s fashions.
You have but to see the Griffon
