ever die.

The Juniors of the Pleasant Gap
High school are holding a pay dance
in the room of the hose house, recent-
ly vacated by Ray Noll.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bilger and Mrs.
J. T. Noll made a short visit to the
home of Charles Wolfe, at Aarons-
burg, on Friday afternoon.
The Whiterock quarries are evident-
ly rushed with orders; a very encour-
aging sign is that all employees are
now working eleven hours a day.
Prospects look good.
Everybody seems to agree that the
trouble with the world is that there
are too many people on it for the floor
space. It puts prices up, and all that
sort of thing, they say. But we don’t
know.
Good sense is always at a premium.
Let the American people, while pro-
ducing every other thing in excel-
lence, neglect not to foster a good
portion of this quality so necessary to
success.
The play entitled “The Blue Skies,”
rendered at Noll’s hall on Thursday
and Friday nights last week, was lib-
erally patronized. The proceeds, after
deducting all incidental expenses, ex-
ceeded sixty dollars.
Two and two make four. A straight
line is the shortest distance between
two points, but it is easily seen that
there is but little of this kind of truth
in the world. In fact, most of it is
relative, and not absolute.
Otto Hile says that the soft side of
a church pew does not compare fa-
vorably with a feather bed as a place
to sleep. We go quite a length on
what he says, as he usually says some-
thing when he opens his mouth.
As we remember it, the man who
said he would rather be right than be
President, wasn’t either one; but we
violate no confidence in saying there
are a lot of politicians in Washington
just now who would rather be right
than be President.
Mrs. Thomas Jodon’s Sunday school
class had a very enjoyable evening at
the home of Harry Garbrick, near Zi-
on, on Thursday night. This has be-
come quite a social gathering and aids
in creating a more sociable feeling be-
tween teacher and pupils.
Mrs. Leslie Miller and son Jack, of
Woodlawn, Beaver county, departed
for her home Wednesday afternoon.
Mus. Miller has been dividing her time
between her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Wolfe, in Aaronsburg, and
Mrs. J. T. Noll, Mr. Miller’s mother.
March 29th was the eighteenth an-
niversary of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Noll’s
marriage. There was no celebration,
but their daughter Jean, a nurse In
training at the Polyclinic hospital, in
Philadelphia, remembered them with a
bouquet of beautiful roses, one for
each year of their marriage.
It is generally supposed that about
every one who can afford it is the
happy possessor of an automobile,
and possibly some, who in a strictly
financial point of view, own one even
if they can’t afford it. In this we are
mistaken. Henry Noll, our Ford ga-
rage man and dealer sold, the last
week, four Ford machines and one
Maxwell; and still they come.
The wise man runneth not violent-
ly after a train or bus, but chideth
himself for not starting sooner, and
waiteth until the next cometh, or
walketh. Running for a train is very
different from running for fun or to a
fire. The anxiety is so great and the
nervous tension so high, and death is
possible without exertion; there is a
d | franticness about it that is almost in-
describable.
Some of our newspapers would
make you think that every other cel-
lar on the shady side of the street is
going to have a private still in it.
Distinctly and decidedly not. The fel-
low who in the old day had just ener-
gy enough to stroll over to the bar
and order a gin rickey would never
live long enough to drink one if he
had to manufacture the gin with his
own hands. The “private stills” make
Such reading matter but mighty little
00ze.
What is more embarrassing than
to get into a crowd where no one has
anything to say? How big and awk-
ward one feels, how prominently one’s
fn se wens —
feet appear, and how superflu-
ous one’s hands become! These are
the times when words are golden.
What is a fellow to do in a case of
this kind? As they say in the coun-
try, “it’s a case of woodchuck,”—has
to have words or suffer. Under any
and all circumstances, conversation is
an indext of character. No difference
when and where a wise man speaks,
he reveals his wisdom, and is judged
accordingly. The fool, also, exposes
the shallowness of his mind when he
opens his mouth. A wise man may
wear the habiliments of poverty, be
careless as to his personal appear-
ance, yet his words secure for him a
degree of respect that a fool can nev-
er get. The better class of people do
not seek notoriety, but would rather
have the reputation of being respecta-
ble and sensible.
Imported Clover Seed is Not Hardy as
i the Domestic.
i A great deal of imported red clover
| seed is now being offered for sale.
This seed may be satisfactory but it
is less hardy and more subject to dis-
ease than home grown seed. Native
seed should have the preference.
