Demorealic atc Bellefonte, Pa., July 18, 1924. Country Correspondence Items of Interest Dished Up for the Delectation of “Watchman” Read- ers by a Corps of Gifted Correspondents. PLEASANT GAP. Our baseball team defeated the Karthaus hustlers to the tune of 9 to 4 in their recent game here. Little Mack Mulfinger, small son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Mulfinger, who has been seriously ill the past fifteen days, is slowly recovering. The Lego Bros., Earl and Paul, mo- tored to Tyrone in their new sedan last week and spent an enjoyable day among their numerous friends at their former home. Our amateur baseball teams, the Pike and Horntown, played an ani- mated game a few days ago. The Pike boys came out victorious, the score being 15 to 1. Mr. and Mrs. De Pone and Miss Dorothy Mulfinger, of Williamsport, are visitors at the home of J. C. Mul- finger. Miss Dorothy is a student in a Williamsport school. Our tonsorial artist, Mr. H. C. Crissman and family, enjoyed a pleas- ant vacation, spending a week at the Masonic camp at Snow Shoe Intersec- tion. All enjoyed the sojourn im- mensely. Mrs. J. T. Noll was a visitor at the J. Samuel Miller home, State College, on Sunday. The many friends of Master Raymond Miller will be sorry to know of his serious illness. He is suffering with inflammatory rheuma- tism. Mr. and Mrs. J. Sumner Miller, of State College, were callers at the J. T. Noll home on Tuesday afternoon. ‘The Millers, like most people who ever resided at the Gap, evidently ap- preciate an occasional return to their former home. Earl Rimmey, wife and son Keith, Mrs. John Herman and Mrs. J. D. Herman motored to Lewistown a few days ago with a view of calling on friends and relatives. They say Lew- istown is still on the map and pros- pering exceedingly well. Mrs. Coak Bell, now residing ad- Jacent to Philadelphia, spent a few weeks at the Gap. She is the young- est sister of Mrs. Henry Twitmeyer, and in consequence of the latter’s ill- ness she put in most of her time at the Twitmeyer residence. John Herman and wife, of Philadel- phia, spent a few days with their par- ents, Mrs. John Herman, of Pleasant Gap, and Mr. and Mrs, Frank Weaver, of Bellefonte. The presence of the young couple is always highly appre- ciated by their numerous friends here. Paul Keller, the veteran book-keep- er of the P. R. R., Philadelphia of- fice, with his family, enjoyed their an- nual vacation with friends in Altoona and Pleasant Gap. Paul is a close ob- server and a trustworthy official. He enjoys his annual vacation home immensely. He and his estimable wife have many friends here. The cherry and plum crops will not reach forty per cent. of production, while the apple crop throughout the county will not exceed 33 1-3 per cent. of marketable fruit. One-half of the trees are bearing no fruit while the apples on the other half are drop- ping off. The cause assigned is the unseasonable weather. A number of the old orchards were badly damaged by wind storms. Evil is that which produces un- happiness. Our earth is full of sor- row, and every one has more or less ailments, pains and weakness. Crime is prevalent in all lands; hatred, ill- will and malice are manifested with- out limit, and I often wonder why a just God permits evil to be in the world and afflict the people so disas- trously. Could He not have prevented all this trouble, the fall of man, and the thousands of years of suffering that have been upon mankind? The statement that Jehovah is all-power- ful at once leads to the conclusion that He could have prevented it had His wisdom so dictated. A. S. Eby, of the International Bi- ble students’ ussociation, delivered a very able lecture at 3:30 p. m. at Noll’s hall, on Sunday. His subject was “Divine Plan of the Ages, Mil- lions now Living will Never Die.” The hall was well filled and the speaker was apparently highly appreciated by all present. Mr. Eby contends that the present time of sorrow, sickness and death is to be followed by a gold- en age, “there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any pain,” Rev. 21-4.

Copyright, 1921 by McClure Newspaper Syndicate — His discourse was very plain and sim- plified. The contention that millions now living will never die did not ap- peal to me very forcibly. I had a lit- tle actual experience. Fifty-five years ago I was in business in Belle- fonte; the town was well supplied with a bunch of enterprising business men, today my old friend, Capt. C. T. Fryberger and myself are the only ones left out of the entire bunch, all are dead. Where do the million years come in? It makes me feel as though I were attempting to play ‘“nookey” with the graveyard. A number of our citizens were shocked a few days ago when they read the announcement in the daily papers that our public servants who are operating our penitentiaries de- cided that the prisoners henceforth must be supplied with tailor-made clothes at the expense of the public. The next move will likely be to add ice cream twice a day to their menu. Criminals should be reasonably well clothed and should have a sufficiency of palatable food, but there is no use of resorting to injudicious and fool- hardiness. It is intimated that a halt will be called at an early day on these resckless pretenders. Not fifty per cent. of our hard working labor- ers can afford tailor-made suits. It is a noticeable fact that the majority of prisoners who escaped the past few years were short-term prisoners; they evidently dislike to lose their soft snap jobs. Too many luxuries and comforts bestowed on these criminals will cause more escapes, for pruden- tial reasons. Matters are becoming distressingly alarming. Ex-Governor Frank Lowden, of Illinois, said in a recent speech that the expenditure for housing, feeding and attending the criminals and charitable charges of the various States now amounts to between one-third and one-fourth of the State’s total income. We must practice more economy. “A word to the wise should be sufficient.” Read- er, kindly ponder over the existing situation. Edward H. Smith, of De- troit, puts the total annual levy that crime places upon the country at not less than ten billion dollars. AARONSBURG. Mr. and Mrs. E. A.

Calvin Coolidge Jr., son of Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge, died at the Walter Reed hospital, Washington, D. C., on Monday night of last week, of blood poisoning, the result of a blister on his heel. The end came after the boy had battled with the utmost bravery and fortitude for five days against a dis- ease which had racked his body with pain and sapped the reserve strength of his frail constitution. President and Mrs. Coolidge, who had maintained constant vigil at the hospital, were at his bedside, hopeful and cheering and comforting their son to the last. A sinking spell, the fourth he had suffered in 24 hours, brought death. Notwithstanding the use of oxygen and other restoratives, the courage which had withstood crisis after cri- sis and had beaten death off repeat- edly, was unable to meet the final at- tack. The collaspe began at 6:30 o'clock and he gradually sank into eternity. He died at 10:30 o’clock. Calvin was a most lovable boy and the entire nation mourns with the President and wife in the loss of their youngest son. He was sixteen years old and would have had one more year at Mercersburg academy before entering college. The remains were taken to Ply- mouth, Vt., where burial was made in the family lot last Thursday. ————— A ————————— —Get your job work done here. The Ostrich Plume, How quietly it seems to have pass- ed from sight! The San Francisco Examiner is doubtless right in saying that the automobile more than any other one thing has ruined the busi- ness. An ostrich feather on a lady’s hat in an open automobile comes out of its battle with the wind a sorry wreck. Another cause of the vanish- ing plume has been the changing style in woman’s dress. Picture hats, it has been said, do not go with short skirts. Then the “trade,” another pa- per says, never had much love for the ostrich feather because it lasted too long. It adorned too many succes- sive hats upon the same head. That plucking it from the ostrich meant cruelty is denied. It is really clipped before the moulting season. ————— A ———————— Rabbits cost Australia $125,000,000 a year by eating pasturage which otherwise would feed 30,000,000 sheep. MEDICAL. Help for Old Folks Old Age Should be Happy—Not a Time of Sickness and Suffering. Too many people begin to suffer at middie age with constant backache, urinary ills and rheumatic pains and aches. Weak kidneys are usually the cause and, if neglected, there is dan- ger of hardened arteries, dropsy, gravel or Bright’s disease. Help your weakened kidneys with a stimulant diuretic before kidney disease gets a firm hold! Use Doan’s Pills. Thous- ands of old folks recommend Doan’s. Here is Bellefonte proof: Joseph Alters, carpenter, 310 E. Bishop St., says: “My back ached so badly I could hardly keep on my job. It was hard to do any heavy lifting and sawing. My kidneys acted too often at times and the secretions were scanty. I used Doan’s Pills from the Parrish Pharmacy. My back is now well and strong. 60c, at all dealers.
