PLEASANT GAP.
What is home without a box of
tacks?
Mrs. Mame Showers is convalescing
om a serious attack of throat trou-
e.
We are in favor of crinoline, pro-
viding foreign immigration is prohib-
ited.
That stinginess that keeps people
from spending money fooishly is a
virtue.
Mrs. Harriet Wolford, of Clarence,
spent a few days with her friends at
the Gap.
Earl and Jared Grove, of Lemont,
were week-end guests of their aunt,
Mrs. Harry Bilger.
We must know what’s the matter
before we medicate, else it will be like
shooting at the song of a bird in a
tree.
The only way to make chronic
grumblers repent of their folly is to
increase their calamities until they
can see that the former condition was
the happier.
The rich and the poor were never
bearing such burdens of rivalry as at
present. Let them help each other in-
stead of piling them higher by wick-
ed contention.
It is always best to form acquaint-
ances slowly, for in case of dissatis-
faction you not only delay the event
of your own disappointment, but also
their discomfort.
There are so many grades of law-
yers, both in point of ability and
character that there need be no diffi-
culty in finding one for any kind of a
job that will insure a fee.
Miss Ruth Herman, daughter of
Miller Herman, of State College, a
student of the Bellefonte High school,
was an over Sunday visitor with her
grandmother, Mrs. John Herman.
Mrs. Grace Gentzel was a guest for
a few days at the Sam Weaver home.

ver and divided her time between her
sister, Mrs. Tom Ulrich, in Millheim,

The free forestry movies billed for
last Wednesday night at Noll’s hall

T. E. Jodon, Mrs. Frank Millward and

They were the solicitors in the big
hospital drive.
Jared Hauser, formerly of the Gap,
but now of Bellefonte, a year ago
bought a very attractive building lot
from Ephriam Keller. It is located
at the forks of the road -adjacent to
Stitzer’s store. Jared now thinks of
erecting a bungalow for the future
home of himself and mother.
It is just as honorable to serve as
it is to command, because they possess
the same necessity; besides you can-
not be a good commander until you
have first learned to faithfully serve,
and as a good servant and a good com-
mander thus touch each other, in dis-
cipline they are therefore equally hon-
orable.
The High school dance on Tuesday
night was a decided success, both so-
cially and financially. Garbrick’s or-
chestra furnished the music for the
dancing. The attendance consisted of
people from State College, Bellefonte,
Pleasant Gap and vicinity. A most
enjoyable pleasantly spent evening re-
sulted.
Harold Kerstetter has abandoned
his job, that of conducting a bus line
between State College and Tyrone,
and is again employed as a carpenter
at the penitentiary. This is a wise
move, as Harold is an exceptionally
proficient carpenter and should give
his preference to his profession in-
stead of running a bus.
Russell Evey, William Wolford and
Bobby Wells are the carpenters who
are putting a gable and new roof with

cozy homes at Pleasant Gap.

The guests were James Noll, Earl S.

Lego, Walter and Billy Wolford. Rus-
sell Evey and wife assisted Mrs. Noll
in entertaining. All had a most en-
joyable time, delicious refreshments
being served.
The Whiterock company is erecting
an up-to-date rotary lime kiln, guar-
anteed to produce ten tons per day.
Messrs. Shoemaker & Tillie are the
mechanics superintending the con-
struction. While here they are mak-
ing their home with the John T. Noll
family. Numerous improvements are
under contemplation. Since the new
manager has been elected the work
has been wonderfully improved. From
75 men the number has been increas-
ed to 200 and new accessions daily.
The two week’s pay roll of $4000 has
been increased to $7000. Here like
elsewhere, young blood is at a pre-
mium.
This is a grand country of ours;
there isn’t anything under the sun
like it. We are made up with million-
aires and paupers; theologians and
thieves; politicians and poverty;
trusts and tramps; money and misery;
homes and hunger; where you can
buy a Bible for 25 cents and a drink
of moonshine whiskey for four dollars
a quart. We license bawdy houses
and fine men for preaching Christ on
the street corners; where good whis-
key makes bad men, and bad men
make good whiskey; where some
newspapers are paid for suppressing
the truth and made rich for teaching
a lie; where we put a man to jail for
stealing a loaf of bread and to Con-
gress for stealing a railroad; where
justice is asleep, crime runs amuck,
corruption permeates our whole social
and political fabric and the devil
laughs from every street corner. We
certainly have the greatest aggrega-
tion of good things and bad things;
all sizes and varieties ever exhibited
under one tent.
The following is the closing para-
graph of the will of the great and il-
lustrious man, Patrick Henry: “I
have now disposed of all my property
to my family; there is one thing more
I wish I could give them, and that is
the christian religion. If they had
this, and I had not given them one
shilling, they would be rich; and if
they had it not, and I had given them
all the world, they would be poor.”
This opinion of that celebrated man
confirms the importance of religion in
a dying hour. He was only answering
the question propounded by the author
of our holy religion. “What shall it
profit a man if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?” If we
would only live up to the requirements
of the golden rule, “Do unto others as
you would that they should do unto
you.” If we practiced this God-send
of a rule all would be happy. Gossip-
ping and quarreling and fighting
among neighbors would cease and we
would become a happy and contented
people. A gentle word, a kind look,
an encouraging smile, may save a hu-
man being from the abyss of dispair.
There is a luxury in remembering the
kind act. Blessed are they who so im-
prove life’s little span. that the au-
tumn of existence and when the hand
of death may approach without excit-
vg an emotion of regret or a shade of
ear.

Why Commercial Users
Prefer the Ford
J~ There is much significance in the fact that more than 75% of all i
