Items of Interest Dished Up for the
Delectation of “Watchman” Read-
ers by a Corps of Gifted
Correspondents.
PLEASANT GAP.
Mrs. Harold Kerstetter spent a few
pleasant days, early this week, visit-
ing friends at Altoona. She reports
having had a most agreeable and con-
genial visit.
Only eight lots are unsold in the
Leathers Bros. plan of lots at Pleas-
ant Gap, and from present indications
they will find a ready market before
April first is ushered in.
Contractor Howard Wells is busily
engaged in remodeling the new home
of William Ross, retired farmer. He
js transforming an old house into a
very desirable new structure.
Sergeant Harold Kerstetter has
abondoned his former work as a car-
penter and has accepted a position of
handling one of the busses on the
State College and Tyrone bus lines.
John Herman and wife, of Broad
Street, Philadelphia, were over Sun-
day visitors with their parents. John
says he likes the Quaker city very
much but must admit “there is no
place like home.” This young couple
are very welcome visitors in our com-
munity.
Our coal dealers refuse to handle
anthracite coal because the consumer
turns down the exorbitant price.
Should the boycott reduce the price of
hard coal 50 per cent. would his ex-
cellency claim the-credit, or would he
increase the wages of the miners and
hold up the price?
Quite a number of our people are
busily engaged in hunting houses for
occupancy April 1st. A few may be
accommodated but more, it is feared,
will be disappointed, as vacant houses
at the Gap are almost out of the
question. Since the increasing activi-
ties at Whiterock are apparent it is
to be hoped that the majority of our
workmen will be successful in ob-
taining comfortable houses for their
families.
Rev. T. A. Long, of Mill Hall, a
very able minister of the River Breth-
ren church, will fill the pulpit of the
Methodist church at Axe Mann, on
Sunday evening next. He is a very
able orator, a teacher of taste and
judgment, whose well balanced mind
is controlled by common sense and
conscience. He has an abundance of
capital to draw upon, without bor-
rowing small checks with other men’s
endorsements upon them.
We have some strenuous financiers
at the Gap; when some enterprising
Bellefonte merchant advertises sugar
at one cent per pound less with a five
pound limit they at once proceed to
gain the five cents by paying forty
cents for a round trip to the capital in
the bus line. This is surely a peculiar
way of saving five cents. Come to
think the situation over there may be
a reason for this frantic financiering
since our bootleggers here are show-
ing up to some extent, and Bellefonte
has an abundance of the vile stuff on
hand, it may be that this has a tend-
‘ency for the frequent trips to town.
Frank Riddle, well known as a for-
mer resident of the Gap but for a
number of years located at Kansas
City, Kansas, was a month ago run
down by an automobile, receiving
concussion of the brain and other in-
juries. After being removed to his
home he became delirious and has not,
up to this time, regained conscious-
ness. When placed in his bed he be-
came very restless and was insistent
in leaving his bed to go to his work.
Finally his physician had him strap-
pedinin order to keep him there. Not
improving he was removed to an asy-
lum, where he now is and continues
unconscious, with little hope for the
better.
The unexpected promotion of our
fellow-townsman, Ray Noll, to the
high and responsible position of man-
ager of the Whiterock quarries, shows
the good judgment wf that organiza-
tion. Industry, integrity and econo-
my have won station and honor for
not a few who began their career at
the bottom of the ladder. That men
of gcod capacity, character and ener-
gy have risen from obscurity to high
and responsible trust, and in the role
of life have distanced multitudes
who had the advantage of education,
wealth and social pesition. Young
Ray is a practical man, with a sound
mind in a sound body. A man well
organized physically, intellectually,
morally, with his heart in the right
place, and his head well poised, and, I
must add, with a conscience; that in-

ner light which illuminates the life.
Such an one is our young friend. It
is a well deserved recognition of one
who will show his ability in the near
future. His successful career is as-
sured beyond doubt.
Miss Helen Noll, the accomplished
young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam Noll, has been quite ill for the
past two years with a complication of
ailments. She was growing worse
from time to time until six months
ago when the family decided to send
her over to Mifflin county for treat-
ment. Happily she began to improve
as by magic. Recently her physician
sent her to Philadelphia for special
treatment. While there she improved
right along until two weeks ago her
physicians discharged her as being
physically restored to normalcy. Two
weeks ago she started to take a busi-
ness course in a well known advanced
educational institution. A splendid,
situation awaits her graduation. This
will be good news and will be highly
appreciated by her numerous friends
at the Gap and vicinity.

The Serbian boys in this country
are making rapid progress in Eng-
lish. The extent of their attain-
ments may be judged by the follow-
ing story, which is vouched for as au-
thentic. One of the boys was asked
to translate from Serbian into Eng-
lish the following sentence:
“He gave up his life on the battle-
field.”
With the help of a dictionary he
produced the following version:
“He relinquished his vitality on the
bellicose meadow.”—London Tit-Bits.

Why Suffer So?
Get Back Your Health as Other Belle-
fonte Folks Have Done.
Too many people suffer lame, ach-
ing backs, distressing kidney disor-
ders and rheumatic aches and pains.
Often this is due to faulty kidney ac-
tion and there’s danger of hardened
arteries, dropsy, gravel or Bright's
disease. Don’t let weak kidneys wear
you out. Use Doan’s Pills before it is
too late! Doan’s are a stimulant di-
uretic to the kidneys. Doan’s helped
thousands. They should help you.
Here is one of many Bellefonte cases:
Mzrs. Boyd Vonada, E. Bishop St,
says: “My kidneys were weak and 1
could hardly rest at night. When I
was on my feet, my back gave out
and ached so I often had to stop and
rest. I frequently had dizzy nervous
headaches and my kidneys acted too
often. I used Doan’s Pills purchased
‘at the Mott Drug Co. and they rid me
of the trouble.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Vo-
nada had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,

Forecasting A Tremendous
Spring Demand
739,626
more Ford cars and trucks were pro-
duced last year than the previous
year, an increase of over 50 per cent.
In spite of this tremendous increase in production, it was
impossible to meet delivery requirements during the spring
and summer months when orders for 350,000 Ford Cars
and Trucks could not be filled.
This year winter buying for immediate delivery has been
more active than ever before—and in addition 200,000
orders have already been booked through the Ford Weekly
Purchase Plan for spring delivery.
These facts clearly indicate that the demand during this
spring and summer will be far greater than ever, and that
orders should be placed immediately with Ford Dealers as
a means of protection against delay in securing your Ford
Car or Truck or Fordson Tractor.
