insure a fee.
The old poets wrote so much about
the fury of women that one is almost
driven to the conclusion that the sex
was disposed to be vixenish in those
times—and very little change up to
date.
We had several light frosts recent-
ly, but no injury has resulted up to
this time, to the fruit. If the frost
holds off for several weeks longer a
most prolific crop can be counted on.
Cherries and plums were never known
to blossom as they did this season.
Our Lodge of the P. O. S. of A.
very kindly volunteered to look after
all the details of the Memorial ceremo-
nies which is a very commendable act,

they have passed their 80th milestone.

date in every resect.
H. F. Albee, penitentixyy electri-
cian, purchased a new large sized Oak-
land automobile last week. He had a
fairly good machine, but inasmuch as
he is an up-to-date individual, he
thought it wise to invest in a new ma-
chine. Both Mr. and Mrs. Albee are
«expert machine operators.
The Pleasant Gap High school class

.day. The High school and their nu-
merous friends respectfully salicit the
patronage of the generous public.
George Tate, one of the old-time
workmen of Whiterock, was obliged to
abandon his work at the quarries last
fall on account of a severe attack of
rheumatism and other troublesome
complications. He has recovered suf-
ficiently to tackle his old job again
and went to work on Monday last.
George says he will continue working,
providing he can earn the money paid
him.
We are proimsed a rave treat on
Friday, May 25th, at 8 p. m,, at

entitled the “Old Maids Club” will be

Some excellent talent will be in evi-
«dence; the kind they produce at State.
‘Our people should render a most
creditable patronage, since the prop-
osition is a mest commendable one and
-appeals to all good charitable people.
Remember, the everlasting hills will
crumble to dust but a charitable act
will never be forgotten.
On Wednesday next Fred Roush, of
Altoona, and his new wife, formerly
Miss Anna Rimmey, accompanied by
Miss Bertha Rimmey and Miss Mar-
ion Gettig, a jolly good bunch, will
motor to Philadelphia; object enjoy-
ment. They expect to spend their
time while in Philadelphia with the
‘Centre county delegation. After see-
ing what they can in the city of
Brotherly Love they will go to Atlan-
‘tic City for a brief stay; thence to
Harrisburg, after which they will re-
‘turn to their respective homes. From
tte make-up of the aggregation, a
most enjoyable time is a moral cer-
tainty.
The idea of all famous preachers

enough to suit the great variety of
mankind, and that he is the most suc-
cusseful preacher who succeeds in at-
tracting men to the light, rather than
scaring them out of the dark laby-
rinths into which they have wandered.
Simplicity in style, earnestness in
manner and honesty in purpose, are
the winning points.
The Pleasant Gap baseball club is
being reorganized and will no doubt
be a howling success since some of our
leading citizens have taken up the
proposition; among the number are
superintendent Blain Mabus, C. K.
Stitzer, ’Squire J. D. Herman, Noll
Bros., and others. The Noll Bros.
have donated three acres of ground
in the rear of and adjacent to the High
school. It looks like an assured fact
that we will have a baseball club, and
a good one. State College and Belle-
fonte Academy had better guard their
laurels now, as competition is the life
of trade in the baseball proposition.
Few people attach the importance
due to a state road passing through a
community; few realize that real es-
tate adjacent to a state public high-
way increases the valuation of real
estate at least 25 per cent. We are
favored with one of the best equipped
roads in the State; now what does
such an improvement prove? The
real estate transfers at Pleasant Gap
this spring were greater than all the
sales combined here for the past ten
years. As an illustration: Some
years ago a prolific oil field was open-
ed between Pittsburgh and Butler; all
available territory was leased by the
operatives giving 8 per cent. royalty.
Financially, the people along the line
improved at a rapid pace; when the
yield had run its course and wells
dried up a slump ensued. Fine houses
had been erected during the days of
prosperity, but activity ceased, and it
was impossible to realize one third the
cost of improvements. About the time
the lowest ebb of the market was
reached a corporation started to build
a brick highway from Pittsburgh to
Butler; it was amazing how suddenly
conditions changed. Today no real es-
tate goes begging along that line; the
real estate men are very busy now
transferring homes at fabulous prices.
Our state road here today, with a well
equipped bus line is a blessing to all
along the line.
