PLEASANT GAP.
Pleasant Gap and Centre Hall nev-
er attended court as profusely as they
did at last week’s session.
Lee Brooks, of Pennsvalley, was
circulating among his old time friends
at the Gap on Monday last.
Mr. J. C. Grenoble and wife, of
Lock Haven, are visitors at the home
of grandpa J. C. Mulfinger.
Ray Williams, a Dickinson Semina-
ry student at Williamsport, was a
week-end visitor at the Gap.
Mrs. Edith Herman, one of the
faithful pillars of the Methodist con-
gregation, is busy getting ready for
the Methodist conference at Williams-
port. She will be absent a week.
It is a foregone conclusion that if
you try to please everybody you will
please nobody. Live out your own
idea of thinghs and you will find peo-
ple either smart enough or fool
enough to agree with you in every
particular.
Some people have a great knack of
manipulating choice words and sen-
tences. It becomes a habit with them.
For instance, the latest production of
this character comes from Mrs. Joseph
Lex. She says that if “paternalism is
infernalism,” then “nationalism is ir-
rationalism.” This is just one of her
original productions, and is a jaw-
breaker.
We can now boast of a youthful in-
ventor in the person of Robert Knof-
singer, who has built a substantial
tractor with a Metz motor, from an
old binder and a dilapidated Ford. It
is doing the work of most of the late
improved machines. The youngster
is certainly a genius, and alleges he
can now motor over the mountain with
the best of them.
Mr. Austin Gough, our insurance
man, whose family reside at the Gap,
but who has been operating in Ridg-
way for some months, was a Sunday
visitor with his family here. While
he talks insurance with a vengeance
his wife is conducting a tea room and
is succeeding admirably well. Our
hotel being closed to the traveling
public leaves the tea room as the only
available place where the tourists
can secure a good substantial meal.
A most delightful five hundred card
party was held a few evenings ago at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Ker-
stetter. Intimate friends from Belle-
fonte and Pleasant Gap constituted
the happy aggregation. Three tables
were in play. Green and yellow were
the color schemes of decoration, daf-
fodils predominating. Card playing
and music were indulged in until after
midnight, when all returned to their
homes delighted with the most en-
joyable events of the evening.
Guy Brooks, of Blackbank, is doing
great work on Nittany mountain in
the way of game protector, by anni-
hilating the wiley foxes. Guy and
his hounds succeeded in bagging ten
red foxes and one of the grey species
last winter. He is being congratulat-
ed by our sportsmen. Our United
Sportsmen, Camp No. 176, have been
studiously feeding wild turkeys and
other game during the time of the
deep snow, in an effort to save as
many as possible, which is a commen-
dable act on the part of this ener-
getic corporation.
A number of our young girls and
their friends had an old fashioned
sledding party, on Tuesday night last,
the kind we used to enjoy many years
ago.” The jolly bunch selected the
hospitable home ‘of Clayton Musser,
adjacent to the Old Fort. Their se-
lection was a good one, as they were
most royally entertained, and all en-
joyed the ride across the mountain
hugely. Chatting and singing was
the order of the well spent evening;
all participants enjoyed their trip im-
mensely, and repetitions are likely to
low if the snow continues in evi-
ence.
We rarely ever see Mr. Otto Hile
at church on the Sabbath day. Last
Sunday he went over to Centre Hall
to hear the Rev Drumm, the Lutheran
minister, preach. He alleges he list-
ened to one of the greatest sermons
he ever listened to. One hundred Ku
Klux Klan members were in attend-
ance, all dressed in white robes.
Among the remarks of the distin-
guished divine to his overflowing au-
dience were that the Klan today is the
largest secret order in existence, out-
numbering even the Masons by 400,
000, and he said the best of all is,
that they accept only good, responsi-
ble citizens as members, and that

S\N Sl,
70,000 new members are initiated dai-
ly to this noble order. That more
ministers are now members of
the Klan than belong to any other se-
cret organization. The Rev. handled
the occasion remarkably well; he is
quite an orator, and oratory will live
as long as there are great issues; that
is as long as the race exists. Elo-
quence is a greater power than armed
force.
About a year ago Joseph Zeles-
nick’s barn on his little farm was con-
sumed by fire, causing a loss of over
two thousand dollars. Since that
time the Zelesnicks completed a nine
room house, and now have contracted
for the erection of a new barn. The
first story of the new structure,
twelve feet in height, will be stone,
the second story frame. According to
the specifications the building will be
a credit to our community. The Zel-
esnicks are not like some of our for-
eign element—undesirables. They
are quite industrious, progressive and
attend strictly to their-own business;
and are making good, and duly re-
spected by their neighbors.
Married life is not such a bad prop-
osition if the contracting parties live
together harmoniously and cheerfully.
The little things in married life are
very large, cheerfulness, for example,
without which people cannot live to-
gether in peace, is not mentioned
even in the Beatitudes; unless we ac-
cept the delightful French translation,
which says debonair where we say
“meek,” meaning courteous. Blessed
are they who have good manners,
even at home. Blessed are all consid-
erate, thoughtful, obliging and agree-
able people; blessed are they who
have a sense for humor; for they shall
inherit the earth. That is true read-
ing for a good wife: Not the meek-
ness of folded hands and downcast
eyes, but the meekness of a cheerful
countenance and a ready wit. These
are the meek souls, who have already
entered upon the inheritance of the
fair earth, and are rejoicing In it.
When they go to heaven, where they
will find themselves quite at home,
their epitaph will have no reference
to darning stockings; it will be in the
words of the most touching obituary
sentences: “She was so pleasant!”
It is for the wife to contribute to the
gayety of the household. Even if she
cannot honestly be cheerful, being
hard beset with the cares of the nurs-
ery and the kitchen, she can at least
have a cheerful appearance. In short
life is what we make it.
Readers of the Pleasant Gap items
will recall a recent item regarding
the breakdown, at his home in Kan-
sas, of Frank Riddle, a native of this
section. A nephew of the writer vis-
ited him recently at the hospital
where he is a patient and writes us
regarding him as follows:
“Yesterday was a fine day, and I
broke loose, jumped into my Ford and
drove down to Osawatomie to see
Frank Riddle; it’s only sixty miles,
and the roads were good, considering
the snows we've just had; I made it
down and back in less than five hours,
a stop for lunch included, and that’s
not bad for a round trip of 120 miles.
Found Frank looking fine, all cleaned
up, healthy looking, and he said he
was feeling bully; that’s one thing Y
think he knows; the rest he doesn’t
know; for instance, he said he was 90
years old now, and that Iam 62!
didn’t remember Marion Riddle, or
much of anything; said he was “work-
ing regularly, staying in nights,” ete.,
etc., and seemed in the best of shape.
The hospital is a mighty fine place
for one who has to be there; every-
thing in white enamel and porcelain—
a keen dining room, splendid sleeping
quarters and a wonderful big yard
(700 acres) for them to wander about
when they're able and the weather is
fit. Of course, the old boy knew me;
asked some rational questions and
some very funny ones; and they told
me they thought he’d never be any
better as concerns his mind; but so
long as he’s happy and doesn’t know
any different, maybe he’s just as well
off as some of us who have to work
for a living; yet, I prefer to work and
know what I'm doing.”

Lack of Direct Sunlight Causes Leg
Weakness.
Hundreds of chicks hatched in Cen-
tre county each year are troubled with
leg weakness. In some cases this ail-
ment is similar to rickets in the hu-
man family.
That much of this trouble is caused
by keeping the birds indoors where
they do not get the direct sunlight is
the belief of many poultrymen. Ex-
periments have shown that the ordi-
nary window pane takes the ultra-vi-
olet rays out of the sunshine. These
rays are needed for the normal devel-
opment of the chick.
To prevent this loss by leg weak-
ness, the chicks should be put out of
doors as soon as possible. By using
small yards with tight board fences to
keep off the cool breezes the little fel-
lows can be put out very early to bask
in the sun. Canadian poultrymen fre-
quently get their January chicks out
when they are a little over a week old
so Pennsylvania farmers should be
able to get their earliest hatches out
with little difficulty.

PLAN TO EQUIP PLANES
WITH SLEEPING BERTHS.
Engineers are studying the prob-
lem of sleeping berths on airplanes,
it was revealed recently in a report by
Archibald Black and Donald R. Black,
aeronautical engineers of Garden
City, L. L, at the forty-fourth annual
meeting of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers at 29 west 39th
street.
Railroads are on the verge of air
competition that seriously will menace
their extra fare train traffic, the re-
port declares, and this competition
will appear between New York and
Chicago when costs can be brought
down by a headway of at least fifty
airplanes daily each way.
“It would seem,” the report states,
“that there is a reasonable probabili-
ty of a headway of 50 planes a day
being reached in 15 or 20 years after
the start of operations, and it is quite
possible for this headway to be reach-
ed in as little as ten years.”
At least one commercial line will be
operating a packet service between
New York and Chicago within the
next two to five years, according to
the report, which says night air serv-
ice could practically eliminate com-
peting night-letter telegraph service
for distances up to about 1,200 miles.
The most logical development, it
adds, would be for the railroads and
telegraph companies to take over the
development of airplane transporta-
tion and conduct it parallel with their
other activities.
A Potato Quarantine in Snow Shoe
Township.
According to advice received at this
office from the State Department of
Agriculture a portion of Snow Shoe
township is affected by the potato
wart quarantine.
Those living in the area affected, if
they intend raising potatoes, will be
permitted to plant only the immune
variety, Spaulding Rose, No. 4. The
co-operative store at Clarence has
been designated as the distributing
point for the immune seed and all
planters can leave orders there for
their needs and will be supplied at
cost if the requisition is filed before
March 15th.
Making Good Butter.
Butter making begins with the pro-
duction of the milk. Good butter can
be made from only good, clean-flavor-
ed cream. To obtain practically all
the cream from the milk and have it
in the best condition requires the use
of a cream separator. The thorough
cleaning and sterilizing of all dairy
utensils is also essential to the pro-
duction of butter of good flavor.
Oil the Harness.
Take care of your leather equip-
ment at all times, but especially dur-
ing the wet weather and spring
months. Frequent washing and oil-
ing should make a harness of the
proper weight and grade last fifteen
to twenty-five years.
