Items of Interest Dished Up for the
Delectation of “Watchman” Read-

Correspondents.
PLEASANT GAP.
Virginia Bill is on the sick list.
Thrift is intelligence applied to
money.
Mrs. Matt. Noll spent last Saturday
among friends at State College.
It is not what you think, but what
others think of you that fixes your
value.
Mrs. D. W. Keller returned to her
home in Philadelphia, after enjoying a
very pleasant visit among relatives
here.
Not so much action and ornamen-
tal language, but more thought is
what is demanded of the orator these
days.
Why continue to circulate two cent
pieces; it takes a nickel to buy two
cent’s worth of anything now except
postage.
Mr. C. C. Baumgardner has chang-
ed his residence to Bellefonte, and for
the time being will reside with his
son, Reish Baumgardner.
Frank Milward and family, accom-
panied by Miss Hazel Corl motored to
Williamsport last Sunday to attend
the Methodist conference in session
there.
The old-fashioned gent who used to
have a barrel of eating apples in his
cellar is the father of the modern man
who puts down a barrel of drinking
apples.
The best little thing you can do
with your Liberty bonds is to keep
your hands on them. Small dividends
with good security are better than big
profits that you don’t get.
Miss Edith Herman, of Pleasant
Gap; Mrs. Mat. Rote, of Axe Mann,
and Mrs. John Baumgardner, of Le-
mont, were in attendance at the M. E.
conference at Williamsport.
The Labor party declares that the
Senate ought to be abolished, and we
suspect that there have been times
in the not very remote past when the
President has wished that it could be.
S. Earl Lego, practical all around
machinist, has secured a position at
State College and started to work
Tuesday afternoon of this week. Le-
go is a handy man and will no doubt
make good and render satisfaction to
his employers.
Now that we are trying to depose
anarchists it is well to remember that
an anarchist is a person wo believes
that the world ought to be governed by
natural law, and insists upon naming
himself as a Supreme court of one to
interpret that law.
The State College High school play
at Noll’s hall, Saturday evening made
a decided hit in this community. Each
varticipant rendered their parts like
veterans. The jolly bunch will always
be welcomed here. The attendance
was quite commendable.
Our friend, Guy Wells, is in hard
luck; on Sunday his house located at
the fish hatchery was consumed by
fire. Fortunately most of his furni-
ture was saved. A few days prior to
that his wife was discharged from
the hospital, after having an opera-
tion performed.
Mr. and Mrs. Leon Mothersbaugh
and Mr. and Mrs. George Mothers-
baugh and daughter Ruth were guests
at the home of Mrs. Mothersbaugh’s
brother, E. K. Keller. As Mr. and
Mrs. Keller grow older they enjoy
company hugely and for some reason
people who once visit them are al-
ways very anxious to return.
Mrs. Jack Noll had a very interest-
ing game of 500 at her home recent-
ly. Five tables were in play; one-
third of the happy aggregation were
intimate friends from Bellefonte and
State Colleze; a most interesting
time was the result. After dispatch-
ing an elaborate lunch, after midnight
all returned to their homes delighted
with their agreeable night’s proceed-
ings.
Since the recent falls of snow the
writer has been visited every other
day by two large rabbits of the Maine
variety. It appears they are deter-
mined to make my barnyard head-
quarters for the time being. It re-
quires six large Baldwin apples to
satisfy their craving appetites. Our
Sportsmen’s association distributed a
crate of these lovely animals in T. E.
Jodon’s woods in the rear of my barn.
The first duty of every human be-
ing is to produce. It matters not
what your dreams and ambitions may
be; it matters not how idealistic and
unselfish you are, you should aim to
do some kind of work for which some-

body is willing to pay you money,
After earning, start a bank account.
If you earn money you don’t want to
lose it by folly. Nothing human is
absolutely safe, but the bank is the
safest known place to put your mon-
ey. Put it where it will work for you,
as you worked for it.
On all sides our women are wel-
coming the approach of spring; they
say they want nice, worm weather so
they can enjoy themselves. It is but
reasonable to suppose that it will not
be long until they will darn the ex-
treme hot weather, which causes them
to perspire beyond comfort. That
same sun is still 93,000,000 miles
away from our Earth, and the diame-
ter of the sun is 860,000 miles. The
old saying that the bigger the stove
the more intense is the heat. Girls,
no use shouting; better take things
easy and look at the bright side of
everything and thus add to your lon-
gevity.
Mr. Joseph Lex, our butcher, estab-
lished a route in Coleville and deliv-
ers meat in that village Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays, weekly, and
is suceeding admirably well. He likes
his patrons and they seem to like him.
The boys of the town decided they
would have a little fun at Joe's ex-
pense—you know “boys will be boys.”
When the butcher was delivering
meat to one of his customers about a
dozen boys awaited their time and
when Joe tried to proceed to the next
customer his car failed to respond. In
looking back he found about a dozen
lads holding him back. They were
finally driven away and Joe proceeded
to his next customer. When trying to
leave there the same gang held him at
bay. The butcher became disgusted
and went to the rear of the car and
pushed away the boys. The mother
of one of the boys made an informa-
tion before ’Squire Keichline and the
hearing was set for Saturday even-
ing. A bunch of women and about a
dozen interested boys were on hand.
Attorney Runkle ably defended Mr.
Lex. The verdict was, the prosecutor
to pay the costs, Lex going scott free.
Attorney Runkle and justice Keich-
line gave the boys some capital ad-
vice. Lex is jubilant.
Eighty years ago Pleasant Gap
consisted of six families, with a net
population of thirty-two souls. We
now have seven hundred and thirty-
two people here and growing right
along. One encouraging feature of
the situation is that since the comple-
tion of our new state road and the un-
usual activities of Whiterock, proper-
ty values have increased twenty-five
per cent. and not a vacant house in
sight. Before Whiterock was estab-
lished our toilers had to go elsewhere
for employment. Today there is no
occasion for any one being idle;
everybody wanting work can be ac-
commodated. It may not be general-
ly known, but the credit of having a
prosperous lime works here belongs
to our energetic townsman, William
H. Noll Jr. In 1905 Mr. Noll sent a
sample of our limestone to a chemist
to have the same analyzed. The
chemist sent back a most encouraging
report; he said the quality was second
to none and actually analyzed
99 13-100 per cent. Billy took off his
coat and hustled in earnest; in thirty
days his anticipations were realized
and the Whiterock quarries were rec-
ognized as a permanent institution.
From present indications it is reason-
able to suppose that before one year
transpires Whiterock will double her
present pay roll.
AARONSBURG.
lobert Stover, after having spent
a few days in Sunbury with his broth-
er and sister, returned to his home in
this place.
The robins have arrived and are
joyously singing, even though the air

little songsters have not come too
soon.

Bower. George Bright, from the

Among the sick we note Mrs. Effie
Weaver as somewhat improved;
Charles Wolfe also stronger and able
to sit on his chair several hours at a
time; Mrs. Mary Burd slightly strong-
er and able to walk about in the
house; Mrs. Benjamin Stover also a
great sufferer and not improving;
Mrs. Sarah Mensch has also been ill
but is better; J. J. Fiedler not much
change in his condition, as he is still
confined to his bed. May they all
speedily recover their wonted health.

An All-Purpose Truck At A Remarkable Price
The new Ford all-steel body and cab mounted on the famous Ford
One-Ton Truck chassis provide a complete all-purpose haulage unit
at the remarkably low price of $490.
Built of heavy sheet steel, strongly re-inforced, this staunch truck is
designed to withstand severe usage in a wide range of industries.
Generous loading space, four feet by seven feet two inches, permits
easy handling of capacity loads and provision is also made for
mounting of canopy top or screen sides.
Experienced drivers appreciate the weather-proof features of the -
steel cab, which is fitted with removable door-opening curtains.
