Deworali iadan. Bellefonte, Pa. February 15, 1924. ——————————— Country Correspondence Items of Interest Dished Up for the Delectation of “Watchman” Read- ers by a Corps of Gifted Correspondents. PLEASANT GAP. To be lucky you must be plucky. Roy Barnes, of Canton, Ohio, is home for a brief visit among friends and relatives. Harry Corl and wife, of Trafford City, are visiting at the home of Mrs. Jonathan Bilger. The Methodist congregation at their festival last Friday night:were very liberally patronized. We are having quite a siege of grip here; some twenty-five are afflicted. Fortunately the epidemic is in a light form. Mrs. Roush, of Altoona, formerly Miss Anna Rimmey, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Rimmey, for a few days. Miss Beatrice Noll, who by the way is one of the Bellefonte High school pupils, is incapacitated for going to school. She is laid up with a severe case of tonsilitis. Consumption and not production, makes the demand for an article; and this being true, it should be increas- ed, and the best way to increase con- sumption is to make prices low. 0. M. Lonebarger, our township as- sessor, lost a horse a few days ago. “Pety” says he was a faithful animal, but might be classed as a has-been; the inference being that the animal’s death is not a very serious loss. Mrs. Kimport, who at one time con- ducted a millinery establishment at the Gap, has branched out and is now running an up-to-date millinery store at State College. Our Miss Henrietta Gettig has secured a situation in the new establishment. Mrs. Kimport, Miss Gettig, are now in Philadelphia with a view of making extensive pur- chases in their line, preparatory to the spring opening. We are progressing from day to day; our people are firm believers in the old adage “That intelligence is the life of liberty.” We today have for- ty-two High school pupils under the able charge of Prof. Treister; besides, ten of our advancced scholars ore on the roll of the Bellefonte High school. We think, that taking into considera- tion our population, that is going some, and is a very creditable show- ing. ; Mr. Kanarr, of the Beatty automo- bile establishment, with his family, expect to move into Mrs. Rachel Zim- merman’s cosy home on or before the first of April. The renovation of the premises, under the able management of Otis Hile, is in progress. They seem to be detremined to make a su- perior out of an inferior proposition and from present activities it is rea- sonable to suppose they will produce the answer. If there is any good reason for the forebodings of croakers outside of jealousy, it comes from that peculiar- ity of human nature that prevents us from indulging in admiration for suc- cess or sympathy for failure until re- sults are known, or from a paucity of human hope. Hope being such a scarce article and therefore so little to be spared rather than spend it pre- dicting the success of others it must be left for our self-dependence. Sixteen new employees will go to work on Monday evening next, at the Whiterock quarries. In many places men are being gradually laid off but not so at Whiterock. Instead of dis- charging men they are adding new ones right along and from present in- dications the prospects are that the present pay roll of over $4000 per every two weeks will be doubled. A great blessing for our workmen who can all find employment by applying for the same. : Mother Eve, sitting under the over- hanging branches ‘of the trees of life sewing together the beautiful foliage to cover human nakedness, is the first example of human modesty; that modesty which is the foundation of all morality which clothes the form in graceful movements, the tongue in soothing speech, and glosses over the whole person with a meek gentility, making man a creature a little lower than the angels, and woman “last, best gifts of heaven,” fit goddess of tll that is good and elevating, truc and beautiful in the world. Camp No. 176 United Sportsmen of Pennsylvania turned loose 72 Kansas rabbits and 19 Maine Snow Shoe rab- bits, obtained from the game commis- sion, last Thursday.

The same were judiciously distributed by our sportsmen organization. Camp No. 176 is alert and is accomplishing superatively good work in the way of increasing our small game supply. The membership is made up of a choice aggregation of our best and most enterprising citizens. Pretend- ers are barred from membership. It is all right to invest—but first investigate. We have two strong banks in ‘Bellefonte, absolutely safe, either will give free advice how to in- vest money. They invite those who are not familiar with investments, to know whether or not they are invest- ing their money wisely. Just because you are called upon and told of the enormous possibilities awaiting you in this or that particular investment— don’t be misled by it. First see your banker—get his advice; let him inves- tigate. If the investment is a good one, he will tell you so frankly. If it is not, he may be the means of saving you from serious loss. Ask your banker. It is better to be safe than sorry. The fake promoter and the wildcat operator are abroad in the land, seeking whom they may devour. My advice, like the bankers, is abso- lutely free. Beware! We have some men in Pleasant Gap who never enter some of our business places unless they are loaded to the ears with moonshine poison, and seem never to be satisfied unless they can expose their ignorance and at the same time make it unpleasant to all around. Some day some of these un- desirable guys will wake up in the hospital and ask the nurse whose mule kicked them. These vipers don’t seem to realize how many earthly Edens have been made desolate by this vile stuff. How many starved and naked orphans have been thrust upon the charities of an unfriendly world; how many graves have been put in evidence for confiding and broken-hearted wives; thousands of once happy homes have been wrecked through this wicked practice. We can’t blame our enterprising women for organizing temperance organiza- tions with a view of putting a stop, or causing a halt to this senseless, harmful practice. The sins of the parents are thus visited on the chil- dren unto the third and fourth gener- ation. No system of education, no grace itself can eradicate this great and growing evil. Monday night was the occasion of Mrs. Jonathan Bilger’s 94th birthday. A most elaborate supper was served to the thirty-six relatives and close friends who were fortunate enough to be present on this glorious occasion. The menu was simply wonderful; the best the market affords was in evi- dence and the thirty-six lucky partic- ipants enjoyed the hospitality and abundance of choice eats immensely. It was after the midnight hour when the gay festivities closed. Not one of the eager participants enjoyed the festivities more than did Mrs. Bilger herself. She seemed so pleasant and agreeable throughout that all present sincerely hoped that the good old lady would live for years to come when joyous repetitions would follow. Scarcely a day passes that we do not hear of the loveliness of women, the affection of a sister, or the devoted- ness of a wife, and it is the remem- brance of such things that cheers and comforts the dreariest hours of life; yet a mother’s love far exceeds them in strength, in disinterestedness, and is purity. The subject of this notice is always cheerful and happy. Cheer- fulness is a spring of power and of pleasure, alike to our physical, our mental and our moral nature. God bless the good old lady, and spare her for years to come, is the wish of her many friends. Mrs. Bilger, after a short night’s rest after her birthday party, arose the following morning at her usual hour, called her daughter Virgie and said she could not quite understand her feelings; said she ex- perienced a soreness in her limbs, had a tired feeling, just like some old Toman Monday she was 94 years old. AARONSBURG. Paul Stover, of Dauphin, spent a day recently with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Stover, on north Second street. . Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Stover had as guests, Sunday, their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Weller, of Shamokin. : Mrs. E. G. Mingle has been housed up during the past week owing to having a siege of grip. We are glad to note she is slowly improving. Mrs. Effie Weaver, who for some time has not been as well as usual, has during the past week been quite ill. However, her neighbors hope she may soon recover. Mrs. Benjamin Stover, who has been ill for some time, is at present confined to bed and is suffering great pain. His physician, Dr. Braucht, of Spring Mills, is doing all for him he can do. Fred Wolfe, of Akron, Ohio, was called home during the past week ow- ing to the serious illness of his fath- er, Charles Wolfe, who was stricken with paralysis, Wednesday, the 6th. His condition has improved slightly, though he is not able to speak as yet. His many friends hope he may soon begin to improve more rapidly. OAK HALL. Enos Rupp, of Pittsburgh, spent the week-end at the J. J. Tressler home. Mrs. Nannie Gilliland and family visited at the James Gilliland home, near Boalsburg, on Sunday. Mr. Benner Walker, who has been in a critical condition for several months, is slowly improving. Edgar Clauser and Miss Dona Gramley, of Altoona, were recent guests at the Lowder home.

During his illness Elmer Bartley is driving his truck. Ralph Pletcher, of Howard, and Miss Helen Womelsdorf; were recent- ly married at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Wom- elsdorf. John Vonada, following a serious attack of the grip, which at one time threatened to develop into pneumonia, has now recovered sufficiently to be up and around. Our valley has more snow now than at any previous time this winter. The fall of Sunday and Monday totalled about five inches and things now look real winter like. Last Wednesday evening Miles Bartley and Miss Florence Neff quiet- ly slipped away to Howard where they were united in marriage, to the surprise of their many friends. The calithumpians gave them a good sere- nading when the secret leaked out. The Conrad Miller lime kiln is hav- ing a very successful run this winter and is proving a boon to the farmers of the valley who are anxious to get the lime for their farms. Mr. Miller has orders sufficient to keep his kiln in operation for an indefinite time. CENTRE HALL. Received too late for last week. Miss Nancy McWilliams spent Sun- day in Milton. LeRoy Puff, of Tyrone, visited his father, J. H. Puff, recently. Miss Edith Sankey, of Middleburg, spent a few days here in the interest of the Grange.

Circular of Farm Prices Available at Farm Offices. A supply of the new circular prices of farm products in Pennsylvania, written by F. P. Weaver, assistant di- rector of agricultural extension, has just been received at the office of the Centre county Farm Bureau. Any one interested in the publication can secure a copy by calling at the office. Since the price of products is one of the most important problems con- fronting the farmer today this circu- lar is of great value to the Centre county farmer. It takes up in detail the factors that influence the prices paid for farm products during the past ten years, and discusses the cost of production of crops of Pennsylva- nia. : Weaver has spent a solid year of study on this question and has come to the following conclusions, reported in the circular: Price changes affect some occupa- tions much more quickly than others causing very unequal distribution of burdens. A lowering or a raise of the gen- eral price level will cause hardship due to the unequal rate at which pric- es of different commodities change. A lowering of the general price level, even after all commodities have been properly adjusted, works great hardship on the man or the communi- ty in debt. Unless definite steps are taken to prevent it, there is apt to be a period of slowly declining price level over the next ten or fifteen years. Prices are the chief guide to pro- duction. To get the maximum bene- fit from this guide, the anticipated price must be considered rather than the existing price. For the interpretation of price trends, the stock market and produc- tion in certain basic industries have been found valuable. Business cycles have a very decid- ed influence on the prices of farm products. Cycles of over and under produc- tion cause wide fluctuations in prices. Cycles are caused by the psycholo- gy of the crowd. To avoid heavy loss through cycles, do the opposite of what the crowd does. Simply holding products until the high poak is reached in season prices is not necessarily profitable.. The price tendency of each product and the factors which influence this ten- dency must be studied. The varying buying power of a unit of money causes price fluctuations. These fluctuations - were enormous during and immediately after the war. Relative purchasing, power, or the price of one commodity in terms of all the other commodities, is a meas- ure of how price changes affects dif- ferent commodities. 5 Over a long period of time there can be no great economic advantage of one section of the county over another. Due to the immobility of farmers, however, slight economic ad- vantages may exist at times. The low freight rates during the war caused farm lands and farm pro- ducts to rise in value much more rap- idly in the middle-west than in the east. The present high freight rates give an advantage to the eastern farmer, close to markets. : RUNVILLE. W. T. Kunes, of Mill Hall, visited several days last week with friends in this place. Thomas Griffith, of Philipsburg, spent Tuesday night at the home of W. H. Walker. Miss Alice Heaton, of Moose Run, spent Thursday afternoon with Miss Catherine Rowe. ; Mrs. Winn, of Moose Run, spent Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Boyd Johnson. Mrs. Ida Witmer, of Wingate, spent Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. D. F. Poorman. : Mary Heaton and Mrs. John Furl attended the W. C. T. U. meeting at Bellefonte Tuesday of last week. . Mr. and Mrs. John Furl and son Ed- ward, and Mrs. Elias Hancock attend- ed the funeral of Mr. Campbell, at Milesburg, on Monday afternoon. Mrs. Earl Kauffman and three children visited over Sunday at Snow Shoe, at the home of her sisters, Mrs. Forden Walker and Mrs. Claude Lu- cas. feat It Makes a Difference The boy who had scratched his name on the paint of the stationary motorcar had been soundly cuffed by the owner. "Attracted by the loud howling which resulted, a crowd soon gathered, through which the father of the boy pushed his way. si “Who struck my son?” he demanded, furiously. “Show me the man!” The motorist stepped forward. He was six feet two inches in height and forty-nine round the chest. “I did,” he sald. : “Served him right, sir,” sald the man, touching his cap. “I'll give him an- other hiding when I get him home.” TONIGHT — Tomorrow Alright NR Tablets stop sick headache relieve bilious attacks, tone an regulate the eliminative organs, make you feel fine. C. M. PARRISH BELLEFONTE, PA. “NOT AS I WILL.” . By Helen Hunt Jackson. Blindfolded and alone I stand, With unknown thresholds on each hand The darkness deepens as I grope, Afraid to fear, afraid to hope; Yet this one thing I learn to know Each day more surely as I go, That doors are opened, ways are made, Burdens are lifted or are laid, By some great law unseen and still, Unfathomed purpose to fulfill, “Not as I Will.” Blindfolded and alone I wait, Loss seems too bitter, gain too late; Too heavy burdens in the load And too few helpers on the road; And joy is weak and grief is strong, And years and days so long, so long; Yet this one thing I learn to know Bach day more surely as I go, That I am glad the good and ill By changless law are ordered still, ’ “Not as I will.” “Not as I will;” the sound grows sweet Each time my lips the words repeat. “Not as I will;” the darkness feels More safe than light when this thought steals Like whispered voice to calm and bless All unrest and all loneliness. “Not as I will,” because the One Who loved us first and best has gone Before us on the road, and still For us must all His love fulfill, “Not as I will.” Coal in Argentina. Newspaper dispatches from Cordo- ba, Argentina, assert that important discoveries of coal, petroleum and gold have been made in that province. The coal is said to be equal to, if not better, than. the best Cardiff product in burning qualities. If the deposits prove to be economically workable, they will be a great boon to Argentine manufacturing industry, which is at present handicapped by the high cost of imported fuel, resort often being had to wood brought down from the Upper Parana Valley. The existence of petroleum depos- its in Cordoba province has long been suspected, though most of the explor- ation of the Argentine field has thus far been confined to regions farther south. The gold discovered was in al- luvial deposits, nuggets weighing as much as 31 grams having been found. —Detroit News. - Want On, Want Forever. “No, Herbert, I am sorry, but I am sure we could not be happy together.

What My Neighbor Says Is of Interest to Bellefonte Folks. When one has had the misfortune to suffer from backache, headaches, dizziness, urinary disorders and other kidney ills—and has found relief from all this sickness and suffering, that person’s advice is of untold value to friends and neighbors. The following case is only one of many thousands, but it is that of a Bellefonte resident. Who could ask for a better example? Harry Rossman, drayman, says: “My kidneys didn’t act right and I had to get up several times at night. My back was lame and ached a great deal, especially in the morning, mak- ing it hard to keep at my work. I used Doan’s Pills and they quickly re- lieved me of all signs of kidney trou- ble. My kidneys were soon actin regularly.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Pills—the same that Mr. Ross- man had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
