China Inland Mission Home, Ichang, China, Wednesday, Oct. 31, 1923. Dear Home Folks: We are now in Ichang, where we change boats the last time before we reach Chungking. We anchored sev- eral miles below Ichang last night, because the captain of our boat, a nice: fellow in many ways, wanted us to have a quiet night and if we had come on up to Ichang there would have been so many small boats around our boat all night that we wouldn’t have gotten a minute’s sleep. We were up but not dressed this morning when Mr. Squire, of this Mis- sion Home, came on board and told us they were expecting us to come ashore for breakfast. We had intended to have breakfast on boat and so were not hurrying any, but we rushed around and managed to get here a lit- tle after eight. The ships do not come up to shore here. They anchor a little distance out, then you have to transfer to a native boat or “sam- pan” and came ashore in that. The C. I. M. have their own boat and boat- men so we were well taken care of. Nobody coming through Ichang likes to have to stay over here, but this mission home is a God-send when you “have to stay. We will have to stay till Friday, anyway, and we may not get out before Saturday. We have engaged passage on the Robert Dol- lar boat, an American company; (the first American boat we will have been on since we left home). The Robert Dollar is supposed to be here now, but it is being held up at Wanhsien, a place that has been taken by a Chi- nese General who recognizes no gov- ernment, not even the Chinese govern- ment. They are holding {wo Japan- ese men prisoners now and are asking a million dollars ransom. The Japanese gunboats are up there and can’t do a thing. There are also American and British gunboats there. The, reason the Robert Dollar hasn’t gotten down is because this General and his army have built a pontoon bridge across the river. We are having the only really gloomy, bad day today that we’ve had since we arrived in China. Just now | it is raining hard, a steady downpour, and it’s damp and chilly, the kind of chilly that goes clear into your bones. You should see the Chinese streets in this kind of weather. Bill has been out this afternoon and his trousers are mud almost to the knees. In the short time that he was out he got his feet soaking wet. Fortunately he has a change of shoes and socks, but he has no other suit to put on. We brought only hand baggage up to the house with us. I had a very interesting experience this afternoon. Right after I had fin- ished tea, I walked out onto the porch and there were three Chinese ladies and a little boy. They were dressed beautifully in silk jackets and foreign skirts and shoes. They began to chat- ter away in Chinese and I know just enough to be able to say “bu-dong,” which means “I don’t understand.” I called Mrs Squire, the lady of the house, and while she finished serving tea, she left me stranded in the parlor with those three ladies. It seemed ages that I sat there and couldn’t say a thing. The Chinese ladies looked me over and pointed to my feet and talked about them. I suppose they were remarking about the size. After Mrs. Squire came back, we had a love- ly time because she acted as interpre- ter. It turned out that the Chinese ladies know a little English but were afraid to use it, and they were think- ing that I could speak Chinese but wouldn’t use it. These ladies were all officials wives, one being the wife of a General, another a Major's wife, and I don’t remember what position the third woman’s husband has. We are having our first experience with oil lamps in China. We realize now that we really are in China. The old thing smells and the wick isn’t trimmed evenly. I almost wish I were back in the States. I must close now. You'll be tired out by the time you peruse all these epistles. We are hoping that we'll find some home mail for us at Chung- king. Do write often. You can’t im- agine how we hunger for mail from home. SARAH. STRUBLE.—A notable career in professional nursing was terminated last Friday afternooa by the sudden death from acute dilatation of the heart of Mary Belle Struble, at the home of her cousin, Olive B. Mitchell, with whom she has lived the past nine months. About four years ago, while nurs- ing in Washington, D. C., she suffered a nervous breakdown but, after a year’s vacation, resumed work under the U. S. Veteran’s Bureau, being as- signed field duty covering five coun- ties, with headquarters in Erie, Pa. This position proved too strenuous and last May she had a serious heart col- lapse and came home to rest, hopeful of ultimate recovery. A daughter of the late Conrad and Sarah Mitchell Struble, she was born and grew to womanhood at Struble’s Station within sight of The Pennsyl- vania State College, where she was later a student for four years, a mem- ber of the class of 91. At the end of her Sophomore year she left Penn State to enter the nurses training school of the Woman’s hospital in Philadelphia from which she was graduated three years later. From that time she has nursed continuous- ly until her recent illness, having been for many years a special nurse of the late Dr. Roland Curtin, in Philadel- phia and through his interest made superintendent of nurses in the George Washington University hos- . pital, Washington, D. C., where she | remained five years, then resigned to | be superintendent of the Hebrew hos- | pital in Baltimore, but finally return- i ed to private nursing in Washington. | Entering the nursing profession | when there were few compared to | the present time, she knew no limit of | hours nor devotion to duty, always | giving unstintedly to her patients, rich or poor. The writer has known her, when superintendent of nurses, to spend entire nights by the bed of i a patient unable to afford a special nurse, and whose life depended upon her service. A list of her patients { would include women and men distin- | guished in the social, professional and i political world. Few nurses are rich- , ly endowed as was she with the qual- ities essential for success in the pro- fession—of commanding presence, | with a sweet and pleasingly modulated _ voice, gentle, sympathetic and a heart | full of sympathy and love for all af- | flicted ones it is slight wonder that she was beloved by patients wherever she served. She was a member of the Bellefonte Chapter D. A. R. through one of her | maternal ancestors after whom Fer- 'guson township was named; her { Mitchell ancestry in this county dat- {ing back to 1812 when David Mitch- ell came here from Milroy. | Two half-brothers, Andrew and ' Clayton Struble, of State College, are her only surviving near relatives. | After funeral services conducted by | the Rev. DePui Maynard of the Epis- ‘ copal church of which she has been a ‘ devoted member for thirty years, in- | terment was made Tuesday afternoon in the Pine Grove Mills cemetery, , where members of her family are laid i within sight of the old Mitchell home. “Sleep after toil, port after stormy seas, Kase after war, death after life, does greatly please.” ii li LEWIS.—Mrs. Myrtle Irene Lewis, . wife of Clair Lewis, died at her home in Tyrone on Sunday evening follow- ing a brief illness with lobar pnea- monia. She was a daughter of W. J. and Rachel Hamler Wiser and was born at Port Matilda on November 17th, 1 1886, living there until her marriage to Mr. Lewis in 1912. Practically all her married life had been spent in Ty- rone. She was a member of the Bap- tist church, of Tyrone, and always a faithful attendant. She is survived by her husband and four children, ali at home; her mother, seven brothers and sisters and three half-brothers, Mrs. Pearl E. Harris, W. E. and Clair Wiser and W. T. Patton, all being res- idents of Port Matilda. The remains were taken to Port Matilda where funeral services were held in the Baptist church at two o’clock on Wednesday afternoon by Rev. King, of Tyrone, and Rev. Par- sons, of Port Matilda. Burial was made in the Presbyterian cemetery at Port Matilda. i 4 KANE.—Miss Margaret Kane, for many years a resident of Bellefonte, died on Tuesday morning at the home of her nephew, John Brown, at 0il City, Pa., as the result of a brok- en hip sustained in a fall seven weeks previous. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kane and was born at Hecla Park eighty-one years ago. When a child she came to Bellefonte and was a familiar resident on Qua- ker Hill until leaving here in 1910 for Oil City to make her home with her nephew. Daniel Kane, of New Ken- sington, Pa., is her only surviving brother. She was a lifelong member of the Catholic church and funeral mass was held over her remains yes- terday morning, burial being made at Oil City. Her nieces and nephews here were unable to attend the funer- al for the reason that their mother, Mrs. James Kane, is so seriously ill at her home on Lamb street that little hope of her recovery is entertained. i |! SUNDAY.—George H. Sunday, of Bellwood, died at the Mercy hospital, Altoona, on Monday afternoon, fol- lowing a prolonged illness with cancer of the liver. He was a son of Mr: and Mrs. Andrew Sunday and was born at Tusseyville, Centre county, over sixty-six years ago. He is survived by one daughter, two sons, three brothers and two sisters. Burial was made in the Logan Valley cemetery on Wednesday afternoon. DALE.—Clement Dale, nestor of the Centre county bar, passed away at his home on north Allegheny street shortly after two o’clock on Wednes- day afternoon, following several month’s illness with pernicious ane- mia. Mr. Dale’s death follows close upon that of his brother, A. A. Dale, Esq., who passed away on January 19th. A son of Christian and Eliza Neff Dale he was born on his father’s farm at Oak Hall on February 25th, 1851, hence had reached the age of 73 years, 1 month and 1 day. His boyhood days were not unlike those of all farmer’s sons, going to the pub- lic school in winter time and doing the chores on the farm during the sum- mer holidays. After he reached the age of twelve years he attended a private school taught by the Rev. Dr. Hamill, at Oak Hall, and at the age of sixteen years he entered the Boals- burg Academy and prepared for col- lege under the tutorship of G. W. Leisher. In 1870 he matriculated as a Freshman at Pennsylvania College (now Gettysburg College) where he graduated in the classical course in 1874. Immediately following his graduation he came to Bellefonte and entered the office of A. O. Furst Esq., where he got his legal training, be- ing admitted to the Centre county bar for the practice of law on August 29th, 1876. Mr. Dale entered upon his life’s work with such enthusiasm and energy that one year later he was made the choice of the Republican party for district attorney but was defeated by his Democratic opponent. In 1880 he was elected chief burgess of Bellefonte, and served one term very creditably. For ten years he served as borough solicitor for the town council. An enthusiastic Repub- lican he was always willing to do any work assigned him in the interest of the party and its candidates. As a young man he became a member of the Lutheran church and on two oc- casions sat as a delegate in the Gen- eral Synod of the church in the Unit- ed States. He was for years a mem- ber of the board of trustees of the Bellefonte Academy and a director of the Theological Seminary at Gettys- burg. He was a charter member of the Bellefonte Camp P. O. S. of A, and always took a prominent part in all its activities, having on several oc- casions gone to the State convention as a delegate from the local camp. On May 15th, 1884, he married Miss Sarah Davis Wilt, of Philadelphia, who survives with two children, Ar- thur C. Dale, district attorney of Cen- tre county, and Miss Marion Ethel. He also leaves one brother, Austin W. Dale, of Boalsburg, and a half-broth- er, Philip Dale, of State College. The funeral will be private, burial to be made in the Dale lot in the Union cemetery. Il I ALLISON.—Dr. J. R. G. Allison, a well known resident of Millheim, died quite suddenly last Friday morning as the result of an attack of acute in- digestion. He was a son of Archibald and Jane Allison and was born at Clintondale, in Nittany valley, on April 2nd, 1856, hence was almost sixty-eight years old. He was educated in the public schools of Nittany valley, at the Kish- acoquillas Academy and the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. Fol- lowing his graduation he began the practice of medicine at Northumber- land, going from there to Canton, Bradford county, where he remained until about twenty years ago when he came to Centre county and located at Centre Hall. In April, 1916, he moved to Millheim and became landlord of the hotel at that place, retiring from the active practice of medicine. A year or so ago he quit the hotel business and moved into a comforta- ble home in Millheim. He was a mem- ber of the Presbyterian church, the Centre County Medical society and the Centre Hall Lodge of Masons. He married Miss Anna Runkle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James M. Runkle, of Centre Hall, who survives with one son, Gross Allison, a civil engineer located in New Castle, Ky. He also leaves two brothers and two sisters, Harry Allison, Mrs. H. S. Braucht and Mrs. Chicago. Funeral services were held at his late home at Millheim at 1:30 o’clock on Tuesday afternoon by Rev. J. Max Kirkpatrick, of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. C. B. Snyder, of the Evangelical church, interment at Centre Hall being in charge of the Masonic order. 1 4d WESTON. — Mrs. Sarah Louise Weston, wife of Thomas Weston, of Rush township, died at the Cottage State hospital, Philipsburg, last Thursday, following a serious opera- tion. She was a daughter of Jona- than and Martha Forshey and was born in Philipsburg forty years ago. Surviving her are her husband, four children and seven brothers and sis- ters. - She was a lifelong member of the Baptist church and Rev. Charles Kulp had charge of the funeral which was held on Saturday afternoon, bur- ial being made in the Philipsburg cemetery. il I] DOWNING.—M. Ellen Downing died at the home of her brother, Thomas W. Downing, in East Down- ingtown, on Tuesday, March 25th, at the age of eighty-five years. She was a daughter of Miller and Sara Down- ing and was born at Caln, Chester county.

Interment will be made in the Friends burying ground in Downingtown today. C. P. Long, of! Spring Mills, and Merrill Allison, of a native of Centre county, died at his home in Altoona last Thursday night, following a prolonged illness with a complication of diseases. He was a son of Robert W. and Lavina B. Downing and was born on the old Downing farm near Loveville, in Halfmoon township, on June 18th, 1870, hence was in his fifty-second year. His boyhood life was spent on the home farm but later he engaged in the lumbering business in upper Bald Eagle valley. In 1911 he took a chance in the political arena by be- coming a candidate for sheriff on the Republican ticket but received less than seven hundred votes. In 1918 he located in Altoona and for a number of years was employed as an orderly at the Mercy hospital. He married Miss Linnie B. Hoover who survives with six children, Mrs. Anna Walters, Mrs. Ella Rorabaugh, Jennie M., Delbert H., Hayden J. and Clark G. Downing, all of Altoona. He also leaves his mother, two sisters and one brother, Mrs. J. B. Nearhoof and Miss Blanda Downing, of Altoona, and Norton H. Downing, of Holli- daysburg.

Interest and enthusiasm are unusually high for so early in the season. This year’s meet is especial- ly important to Bellefonte High school and another victory by the local boys will bring the big cup of Class A to them for the third time, when it will come into their posses- sion permanently. They realize, how- ever, that the competition will be un- usually strong this year and have started practice to prepare them- selves for a hard fight. ——With Bellefonte ripe for all plinds of sensational developments it | seems that some people have seized upon a little personal item that ap- peared in the “Watchman” last week as foundation for a story to the effect that John McCoy has some great in- dustrial enterprise up his sleeve. We announced that he had been in Pitts- burgh looking up some business mat- ters that might favorably affect this community. He was there to sell props and lumber and received assur- ance that ere long he will receive or- ders sufficient to start up his lumber mill, that has been idle most of the winter, to capacity. Of course this would help, but not in the great way that some people seem to imagine. sign in rugs found in the new rug de- partment at W. R. Brachbill’s. 13-2t ——Edward E. Cain has taken the agency for Josephus Daniels’ book, { “The Authoritative Life of Woodrow {| Wilson.” It is authoritative because | Mr. Daniels served inthe late Presi- dent’s cabinet for eight years as Secre- tary of the Navy. It is written in splen- did style because the author is one of the country’s ablest journalists. He reveals many incidents hitherto un- published of the trying war times dur- ing which the martyr President serv- ed. The volume is one that should be in every home and Mr. Cain will be glad to receive your order. ——Twenty-five by fifty inch hit or miss rag rugs Saturday special at 69c. W. R.

Tom, of course, took the Pinchot pledge but the disciples of Izaak Waltcn here- abouts will not be as much interested in that as they will be in the influ- ence he can wield in keeping Centre county streams well stocked with trout; and being an enthusiastic fish- best in this respect. ——A marriage license was grant- ed in Cumberland, Md., last week, to Harman Harris Gray, of Milesburg, and Miss Katherine Marcella King, of Bellefonte.

Krahnke, of the west- ern penitentiary at Rockview; Horace Hartranft, W. M. Bottorf and C. D. Casebeer, local business men. Mr. John Roy reported that the campaign for the big drive for the Bellefonte hospital is moving along smoothly and that the captains for the outlying districts will have their lieu- tenants selected and ready to an- nounce within a few days. At this point in the meeting Ki- wanian John G. Love rendered the beautiful solo, “Sweet Genevieve.” J. W. Griest, general manager of the Retail Merchants’ Institute, of Chicago, Ill, was the speaker of the meeting. He gave a very interesting and instructive talk on retail mer- | chandising and its relation to the life | and existence of the community. Ow- ling to the limited time Mr. Griest was i unable to cover his subject thoroughly and was persuaded tc give another talk before the Business Men’s associ- ation, in the court house, that even- (ing. Kiwanian W. P. Ard, president of the organization, was presented with a very handsome Kiwanian button by the international headquarters, an in- ' signia worn by all club presidents, and which is passed en from retiring presidents to their successor. The next meeting of the club will be held on Tuesday evening, 1st, at seven o’clock, at the Brocker- hoff house, and will be known as char- ter meeting. Every Kiwanian should make a special effort to be present, as the charter will be presented to the ! Bellefonte club by Mr. Herbert A. Moore, district Kiwanis Governor, of Pennsylvania. It will be received by Kiwanian president Ard. Charles F. Taylor, of DuBois, district secretary, will also be present. The address of welcome to the distinguished guests will be made by Kiwanian Henry C. Quigley. — Nationally advertised lines of rugs of known merit now on sale at W. R.

Macker, taxi man, who left here last fall with his family to spend ‘the winter and probably the rest of their lives in Florida arrived back in Bellefonte yesterday. ; The fact that he made the run all the way from Richmend, Va., to Mill- heim in one day is evidence that Macker wanted to get back to good old Centre county pretty badly. As they cannot get possession of their home here now they expect to remain in Millheim for a while. The annual spring inspection of Troop B, 52nd machine gun squad- ron, was held last Friday, the inspec- tion officer being Capt. Hoger, of the U. S. army.

Notwithstanding the bad weath- er the Valentine farm sale, east of Bellefonte, on Wednesday, attracted a great crowd and grossed $4500.00; the best from the point of returns that has been reported thus far this sea- son. Horses and implements brought only fair prices. It was the register- ed Jersey cattle that ran the total up. The best price for a cow was $175.00. ——The Rev. M. S. Kitchen, pastor of the Church of Christ, at Howard, has accepted a call to the Northside Church of Christ, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and will leave for that city in the near future.

McWilliams, our retired mail carrier, and Mrs. Isabelle Musser, motored to Centre Hall on Tuesday and spent the day at the Frank V. Goodhart home. Charles L. Homan and son spent Monday in Juniata, bringing home from there a fine team of mated roan horses which he will soon give a try- out in front of the plow. J. W. Williams, our popular sad- dler, spent Saturday evening in Belle- fonte and while there visited the hos- pital and chatted with old friends now patients in that institution.

The Brotherhood of the Grays- ville Presbyterian church held their third meeting for the season, in the church at that place last Friday even- ing. The gathering proved a success socially as well as in the interest of the church. Refreshments were serv- ed and Judge Bailey, of Huntingdon, delivered a splendid talk. “Jimmie Johnson’s Job,” the little playlet given in the I. O. O. F. hall last Friday night as a benefit for our | baseball team, drew a crowded house and the treasury was enriched to the extent of $124. This gives a good nest egg with which to start the sea- son and when the time comes we’ll all root to beat the band. .
