Many Marital Trouble Cases Aired in
Court Last Friday.
Never before in the history of Cen-
tre county has there been so many
desertion and non-support cases heard
before the county court as there was
at a special session held last Friday,
and naturally there arose the ques-
tion as to the cause thereof. The
shortage of houses is one reason as-
signed by a member of the bar, while
another was of the opinion that too
many young people get married with-
out the means of going to housekeep-
ing, even if there were houses, and the
result is they take up their residence
with the parents of one of the con-
tracting parties and it isn’t long until
dissatisfaction begins and the young
people just naturally gravitate apart
and desertion is the inevitable result.
Then comes an action for desertion
and non-support, and in most of the
cases the wife is probably as much to
blame as the husband, while too much
mother-in-law is also an outstanding
feature. Following is the list of cas-
es disposed of on Tuesday.
Mrs. Lawrence Marshall asked for
support for her two children and was
awarded $20 a month.
Mrs. Howard Wells, of State Col-
lege, asked for better support from
her husband but according to her own
testimony she has been receiving from
$10 to $15 a week in cash while Mr.
Wells paid most of the household
bills. An action against Mr. Wells
for threats was heard at the same
time and the court disposed of the
case by requiring him to sign
a pledge to abstain from drinking for
one year and to pay his wife $15 per
week, as well as continue to contrib-
ute to the support of their home.
Mrs. Leonard Hollabaugh was
awarded $30 a month for the support
of herself and child and the husband
was required to give bond for the pay-
ment thereof.
Mrs. Herbert Hollabaugh, of Cole-
ville, expressed a willingness to live
with her husband if he would supply
a home for her, but refused to go to
his home, and he averred that he
couldn’t live at her home. The court
ordered him to pay his wife $10 a
week until such time as he is able to
provide a home and go to housekeep-
ing.
Thomas Provance, one of the men
who escaped from the western peni-
tentiary in June and was captured
two weeks ago at Mill Hall, was sen-
tenced to serve out his original term
and given from thee to six years ad-
ditional in the western penitentiary.
Mrs. Pearl Garbrick, of Bellefonte,
brought action against her husband,
J. Russell Garbrick, for desertion and
non-support. Her maiden name was
Pearl Aikey and she is only sixteen
years old, while her husband is twen-
ty. She testified that they were mar-
ried at Cumberland, Md., on May 14th,
and that her husband left her a month
ago. The court granted the child-wife
$10 a month but suggested a di-
vorce procedure, as neither one was
old enough to know what they were
doing.
John Watkins was brought before
the court on the charge of making
threats, James L. Leathers being the
plaintiff. The defendant was ordered
to give bond in the sum of $1,000 to
keep the peace and pay the costs in
the case.
Mrs. Lena Bressler Confer, of
Gregg township, asked support from
her husband, Archie Confer, and was
granted $10 a month.
Warren Barton, arrested in Tyrone
on a charge of non-support pending
an action for divorce, was required to
give bond in the sum of $600 for his
appearance at the December term of
court, and stand committed until the
bond was approved and filed with the
clerk of court.
Because of the non-appearance of
Mrs. M. C. Gates, who had brought an
action for non-support, her husband
was discharged by the court.
A similar action against Samuel
McMonigal was nolle prossed at the
request of the district attorney.
John Miller, of Bellefonte, whose
three children were recently taken to
a United Evengelical home by the
Children’s Aid society, was required
to contribute $20 a month to their
support in the home.
The only happy outcome of the en-
tire day’s proceedings was in the case
of Myrtle Bowers against her hus-

them success.

Hallow-een Decorations.
Hallow-een—that most mysterious
of all celebrations—is not far away
and already hostesses are beginning
to make arrangements for this fes-
tivity. Fruit and autumn leaves make
a very pretty combination for a Hal-
low-een table. The autumn leaves
can be gathered in the early autumn,
carefully waxed and pressed with a
hot iron. They can be put between
cardboards with some heavy article
upon them to keep them flat.

Some Hints for Hallow-een.
The invitations for a Hallow-een
party, dance or dinner may be made
at home at small cost, but should by
all means be such as to arouse the
curiosity of the guest. A white skull
carefully cut out and pasted over
black cardboard with the invitation
printed on the back; a grinning
pumpkin face pasted over lighter yel-
low paper; a plain correspondence
card with tiny black owls, cats, witch-
es and goblins running over it, make
excellent souvenirs as well as pleas-
ing invitations. Seal with a black cat,
witch or owl. :
The following are ideas for the in-
vitation itself:
Pumpkins smile on Hallow-een,
Ghosts go walking by,
The witch and owl
Begin to prowl,
So why not you and I
At
Eight of the clock!
Ghosts and witches creeping!
Little devils sneaking!
Owls that hoot and cry!
So postpone your sleeping
And, with us be keeping
Watch
On Hallow-een
At
When the clock strikes eight.
All in white
The ghosts of —
Will entertain your spirit
At their haunt
On street.
Leave yourself at home!
And come sneaking in at
Eight-thirty.
‘SEED CORN SITUATION SERIOUS
A shortage of good seed corn is
likely to be felt in Centre county un-
less farmers get out immediately and
pick their corn and dry it properly be-
fore cold weather sets in.
Due to the late, cold spring and the
dry summer, the corn did not mature
properly and in many instances has
been caught by the frost. The corn
is full of moisture and this condition,
followed by warm weather, is caus-
ing considerable mold and in some in-
stances the corn is sprouting on the
stalk.
This situation is very serious in the
opinion of E. J. Walter, extension
corn specialist at State College. He
fears a repetition of the seed corn
situation of 1917, should cold weather
set in by November, and urges far-
mers to gather their seed corn as soon
as possible.
“If you have not already selected
your corn in the field,” is his state-
ment, “get out and pick good, sound
ears from the standing or shock corn.
Hang them up in a dry place in the
barn or attic where there is plenty of
air circulation. See that the ears do
not touch each other. Corn well dried
‘will stand most any degree of cold
without injury.”
As an added precaution against
seed shortage next spring, Walter
urges those having corn to save it.
This may come in handy next spring
if the new corn fails.

HALLOW-EEN SURPRISE.
A surprise party it is indeed, but
one where the guests and not their
host and hostess are the ones who are
surprised.
The invitations should be printed or
written on pumpkin colored paper dec-
orated in one corner with hobgoblins;
on another corner with a witch riding
on a broomstick; on another, with
Cinderella riding in her pumpkin
chariot; while in the fourth corner the
letters R. S. V. P. should be placed.
The invitation is to a goblin party,
and you are requested to wear a sim-
ple cotton dress. Woe betide you if
you disregard this particular and go
duded up in your best bib and tucker!
All I can say is, you will wish you
hadn’t.
When you reach the front door all
will be pitchy black, with simply a
faint glimmer of light coming from a
pumpkin lantern held by a spook
dressed in ghostly white, with a tall
cap of white muslin shading a flour-
ed face. In sepulchral tones you will
be requested to walk around to the
side door. Here a placard will in-
struct you to go to the back door,
where you will be admitted by a fig-
ure in similar dress and general ap-
pearance to the ghostly figure who
met you at the front door. She will
bid you enter.
Two or three cheesecloth bags
loosely filled with flour are so hung
that they strike you on the head as
you enter. In waving them aside
your hands will, of course, become
floury. This will sooner or later find
its way to your face.
You will go up stairs hand in hand
in the darkness, scarcely knowing
what it is that you fear. In the dark
hallway far enough from the stair-
way to make it safe, you will knock
into set after set of chimes, such as
you can purchase in the shops for a
quarter.
Here you are met by another ghost-
ly figure and ushered into the rooms
set apart for your wraps and coats;
and in a few moments another ghost
with pumpkin lantern beckons you si-
lently to the stairs. Utter darkness
prevails everywhere until you are
ushered into the parlor, the light
from which has been hidden under a
large curtain of black chintz.
How thankful you are to see the
bright light once more, and how anx-
iously you wait for the arrival of your
escort. It is indeed a happy moment
when he arrives and you are convine-
ed that the hobgoblins have at least
spared him to join you in safety.
Tables are ready in the parlor for a
game of cards, or the evening may be
spent in any way most attractive to
the hostess and the guests.
In striking contrast to the hall at
the time of arrival, the dining room
should be brilliantly lighted and dec-
orated with autumn leaves, fruits,
flowers and pumpkin lanterns.
An hour should be set apart for the
arrival of the guests, so that those
who are waiting will not be detained
too long.
If the evening is to be spent at
cards it is well to have the prizes so
selected that they correspond with the
decorations.
The refreshments may be a sur-
prise to a certain extent, such as Eng-
lish, walnuts with mottoes and souve-
nirs inside; the oranges, tied with
pumpkin-colored ribbons, may be fill-
ed with wine or lemon jelly; the cen-
tre cake may be a Jack Horner, and
the cigars passed to the men upon
leaving the room may be made from
paper.
There are many ways in which an
ingenious brain may plan the refresh-
ments so that it will be attractive
and at the same time be entirely dif-
ferent to what you suppose when you
enter the dining room.

MEDICAL.
That Morning Lameness
If you are lame every morning, and
suffer urinary ills, there must be a
cause. Often it’s weak kidneys. To
strengthen the weakened kidneys and
avert more serious troubles, use
Doan’s Kidney Pills. You can rely on
Bellefonte testimony.
Mrs. H. W. Johnson, Valentine St.,
Bellefonte, says: “I have used Doan’s
Kidney Pills whenever my kidneys
troubled me. I had attacks with my
kidneys and felt so miserable with
backache I could hardly get up on my
feet. Mornings when I came down
stairs I was so lame I couldn’ raise
my feet to go up the steps again. My
kidneys were disordered and annoyed
me a great deal. Doan’s Kidney
Pills from Runkle’s drug store soon
put an end to my suffering and rid
me of the aches and pains. I depend
on Doan’s now when my kidneys get
out of order.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Johnson had. Foster-Milburn
