PLEASANT GAP.
When a man or woman lives in the
heart of the times, he or she will
surely be in the heart of the people.
Not so much action and ornamental
language, but more thought is what
is demanded of the orator these days.
It is not so much what society
thinks of you, but what you think it
thinks of you, that pleases or wounds
your vanity.
Never buy a thing because it is
cheap; more especially if you don’t
need it, nor because the payment is a
long way off.
Mrs. C. C. Baumgardner, who had
the misfortune of being stricken with
paralysis four times, continues quite
weak but is about holding her own.
Mrs. Rachel Noll enjoyed a brief
visit with friends at Howard, the past
week, something unusual, as Rachel
sticks very close to her cozy home
here.
Your face shows what’s in your
head, and quite frequently what's in
your stomach. As long as moonshine
is so plentiful, conditions will go
along unchanged.
Our new acting postmaster is suc-
ceeding admirably well. He goes
about his work like an old veteran and
his efforts are highly appreciated by
all. The right man in the right place.
The water pipes in our High school
and grammar school building froze up
and bursted on Monday, causing these
schools to close during the afternoon,
but they are again doing business at
the old stand.
The child must crawl before it can
walk. Why? Because it is weak.
But it will grow stronger, and in de-
fiance of the force of gravity will at
last go forth in complete uprightness.
Such will be your progress in over-
coming the difficulties of life.
Mrs. Blanche Fetterhoff spent last
week in Bellefonte. The good lady
had nearly all her money in the Cen-
tre County bank at the time of the
failure. She is quite ambitious and
has a sufficiency of brains to paddle
her own canoe, notwithstanding.
Mrs. Jonathan Bilger had an ab-
rupt fall last week but fortunately
her injuries were very trivial, so that
she is again circulating about her
home as usual, and incidentally is as
cheerful as ever, although she will
celebrate her ninety-third birthday in
February.
Jack Noll is not only a painter and
paper hanger, but is a chicken fancier
as well. He is now the happy posses-
sor of two hundred and twenty-five
head. The best of all is, Jack is a
strong advocate of blooded stock. He
alleges they are by far the best egg
producers. :
Our good neighbor, T. E. Jodon, has
evidently tired of doing business
through other people. He has been
selling automobiles for some time
through agencies, thus cutting the
profits in two. Tommy is now the
sole proprietor of the Moon auto
agency, and it goes without saying
that he will make a success of the new
enterprise.
Mrs. Rachel Zimmerman, widow of
the late Miles Zimmerman, has rent-
ed her fascinating home to Mr. Ka-
narr, of the Beatty Motor company.
She was fortunate to secure him as a
tenant, as he is exceptionally desira-
ble. There were eight applicants for
the up-to-date home, but to the satis-
faction of all the neighbors here Mr.
Kanarr came out winner.
The venerable Christian Hoffer, the
Noll Bros. Lieutenant and, by the
way a bachelor, says the bachelor was
created by God for the consolation of
widows and the hope of maidens.
Christ, though not a three year old,
has an ardent tendency and admira-
tion for the fair sex. He never stops
to inquire whether they are widows,
maidens, or just plain girls, so they
wear petticoats. :
Our enterprising young friend, Ray
Noll, has leased the hotel here and
will occupy the entire first floor as a
pool room. His increase in business
forced him to move to a more spacious
building. He has removed the parti-
tion between the dining room and
kitchen so that he now has a space of
fifteen by forty feet for his pool ta-
bles. In addition he has a front room
twenty by twenty-four feet, which
makes a good place for his tobacco
and cigar store. Ray is, or has been,

moving his belongings to the more de-
sirable location. He has outlived his
former location, the Pleasant Gap
hose house, and no difference where
he locates he has a large following of
the better class of our community.
Mr. William Ross, up-to-date far-
mer, will retire to private life after
April 1st. Billy is the possessor of a
good farm which he operated quite |
|
successfully for over a quarter of a’
century. He made money and wisely
saved it, having purchased a private
dwelling, which he is now busily en- |
gaged in remodeling and renovating.
The change will take place on April
1st. Orrie Mulbarger, late farmer
for Noll Bros., has leased the farm,
to take possession April first.
The enterprising McNitt Lumber
company is apparently busier than
ever. Some of the knowing ones pre-
dicted that after cleaning up the Lon-
ebarger tract the owners would retire
for a while and take life easy. But
such was not the case. They have
purchased several hundred acres of
good timber land near Pine Grove
Mills, removing the mills to the new
location and are as busy as ever in
demolishing the forest. It is rumored
that they have in view the purchasing
of additional acreage adjacent to their
new accessions. They have also se-
cured the right of a nice tract in
Greens valley, which will be develop-
ed in the near future. This firm is
too well and favorably known
throughout the lumbering district to
need any enconiums from any one.

Commend State College for Aid to
Prisoners.
Resolutions commending the Penn-
sylvania State College for its pioneer
work in offering educational opportu-
nities to prisoners in state penal in-
stitutions was given at a recent gath-
ering of Pennsylvania State and col-
lege representatives who opened an
investigation towards the furthering
of this particular field of endeavor.
The meeting, attended by promi-
nent educators and representatives of
State departments at Harrisburg, de-
veloped the fact that this promising
field for educational extension to un-
fortunate but willing prisoners, has
Lardly been scratched. There is every
indication that later conferences will
develop a definite program of educa-
tion to be established in penal insti-
tutions of the State.
The engineering extension depart-
ment of State College last winter
held classes for upwards of 100 men
at the eastern penitentiary at Phila-
delphia, and a short time ago enrolled
almost 150 of the 500 prisoners at the
western penitentiary at Rockview,
Centre county, in night classes held
twice a week. Professor C. G. Gaum,
of the college extension department,
told of the Penn State work with pris-
oners at this first conference, held in
Philadelphia. He urged immediate
action to bridge the interval which
must elapse while detailed plans are
being worked out.

Help for Old Folks.
Old Age Should be Happy—Not a
Time of Sickness and Suffering.
Too many people begin to suffer at
middle age with constant backache,
urinary ills and rheumatic pains and
aches. Weak kidneys are usually the
cause and, if neglected, there is dan-
ger of hardening arteries, dropsy,
gravel or Bright's disease. Help your
weakened kidneys with a stimulant
diuretic before kidney disease gets a
firm hold! Use Doan’s. Pills. Thous-
ands of old folks recommend Doan’s.
Here is Bellefonte proof:
Joseph Alters, carpenter, 310 E.
Bishop St., says: “My back ached so
badly I could hardly keep on the job.
It was hard to do any heavy lifting
and sawing. My kidneys acted too
often at times and the secretions
were scanty. I used Doan’s Pills
from the Parrish Pharmacy. My back
is now well and strong.”
