O. S. of A. Memorial. It is truly proper that we should honor our dead and revere their mem- ory. This will be done by Washing- ton Camp, No. 889, Centre Hall, on Sunday, July 27th, with a fitting ex- ercise at two points, Centre Hall and Tusseyville. The program is as follows: Meet at the camp room in Centre Hall at 9:30 a. m. Proceed in body to ceme- tery for the strewing of flowers and placing of flags. Thence to Presby- teiran church, where a service will be conducted by Rev. Kirkpatrick, a mem- ber of Centre Hall camp. In the afternoon assemblage will be made at Tusseyville at 1:45 o’clock sharp. After the placing of flags and strewing of flowers in three ceme- teries at this point, the body will at- tend a service conducted by Rev. Keener, ; Centre Hall camp urges all members of the order, no matter where they be- long, to attend. Even though this organization is termed a kindergarten by a few, who are not informed, it is forging ahead very rapidly numeric ally, financially and in personnel. Centre Hall can be justly proud of its splendid group of men for, taking them as a whole, they can’t be sur- passed. They number among their large membership many of the best men of the community, ministers, teachers, High school principals, stu- dents and business men in all walks of life, who are thoroughly capable. * * * snappy boxing bouts, 29-1t ~———Three Business Men’s picnic. ——Tennis shoes, all sizes, 98ec., Yeager’s. 291t For Sale.—QOak wardrobe in good condition.

They thought they were very good. We think our servants are pretty nice even though they do take advan- tage of us every chance they get. I didn’t quite understand what Mr. Dome meant when he talked about the “squeeze” in China, but I do now. It is something that is born in the race and you can’t overcome it. They think it is perfectly all right and you just can’t do anything about it. You give the cook the money to buy food, and when you reckon accounts with him you know he is charging you more than he paid for the things, but even then he charges you less than you would have had to pay for the same things if you bought them your- self. We keep our coal, wood and oil, ‘and most of our food supplies under lock and key and give out just so much each day. If we didn’t do that, they would use up a great deal more than they do and would probably take some and sell it on the street. That seems to be a principle with them. Even the little street urchins who at- tend our Sunday school, go out from Sunday school and try to sell the pic- ture cards that have been given to them. Poor little kiddies! Most of them are so dreadfully poor that they try to make a little money in any way they can; and no matter how they make it, just so they make it, it’s all right. This morning as I was going out to the country I passed a coolie who was carrying a load of charcoal. In be- tween the sticks of charcoal he had stuck a nice big bundle of leaf tobac- co. While he was walking along a ragged little urchin sneaked up be- hind him and removed the bundle of tobacco. Not one of the people who saw it, not even I, did anything to call the coolie’s attention to the theft. Those of the natives who saw it just smiled, and I would have remonstrat- ed but had not sufficient command of the language to do so, and also thought I might get myself into a peck of trouble if I did. The customs out here are so strange. I heard just the other night that if I should accidentally knock a child down in the street, I would not dare to pick it up. The children have been taught to believe that if they are knocked down, it is an accident, but if the person who knocks them down attempts to pick them up, he intends to do them harm. It seems like a cra- zy idea to us, but when you stop to think how many centuries they have been taught to believe such things, you realize how long it will take to teach them to believe otherwise. One day Mrs. Lewis, the wife of Dr. Lew- is, the head of the Language school, who has been in China forty-three years, fell in the street and sprained her ankle so that she could not get up. There wasn’t a Chinese who passed her who offered her any assistance. I guess she would be lying there still, if a foreigner hadn’t happened along. Today has been a cloudy, disagree- able day. I am teaching now in the foreign Sunday school, have a class of seven little girls and one boy, about seven years of age. I have to go out to the country each Sunday morning at about 9:45. After making the trip out to school every day, it is not very much fun, but I like it after I get there. This morning, though, I felt like being a fair-weather chris- tian. It was awfully bad walking. The streets are always so dirty that when there is a light rain (like a fine drizzle) they just get slimy and you have great difficulty keeping your feet. I always take my coolie with me to carry my bag and act as a sort of body-guard. I don’t know if he'd be much help of I should ever need him, but I sort of feel safer when he is along. Bill is always busy Sunday mornings with a class of Chinese boys who are learning English and to whom he is trying to teach the Bible. Our walk to the country each day is through the South Gate of the city, where all the bucket carriers take the city sewerage each day. They take it out to the garden plots in the coun- try where it is used as fertilizer. We have to watch our step pretty closely to keep from bumping into or being bumped into by the buckets. This morning it seemed I was walking in front of or behind a bucket carrier all the way out to the country. The odor is not particularly fragrant, and you can imagine what it will be like in hot weather. SARAH. Insane Convicts Shoot Two Deputies, One of Whom Died. Last Friday morning deputy sher- iffs Meyer Van Lewen and H. B. Fur- long, of Allegheny county, left Pitts- burgh with two insane prisoners, Wal- ter Clark and Andrew Jackson, who were being conveyed to the hospital for criminal insane at Fairview, Wayne county. After passing Tyrone one of the prisoners asked to be tak- en to the lavatory. They were hand- cuffed and shackled together and as deputy Lewen unlocked the handcuffs Clark dashed a handful of red pepper in the officer's eyes. At the same in- stant Jackson grabbed Van Lewen’s gun and shot him in the abdomen. Both prisoners then made a dash for liberty. Furlong captured Jackson but Clark hid in one of the cars until the train reached Huntingdon when he jumped off and made a dash for lib- erty. He was captured several hours later. Deputy Van Lewen was removed to the J. C. Blair hospital where he died on Saturday. Other officers were sent to Huntingdon who succeeded in land- ing the two men in the Fairview asy- lum. Van Lewen was a world war veteran and married. HARTER.—The very sudden death of Mrs. T. H. Harter, at her home on north Allegheny street, at 8 o’clock last Friday evening was a decided shock to her many friends. She suf- fered an attack of acute indigestion while sitting on the porch chatting with friends during the afternoon and the development of angina pectoris caused her death. Her maiden name was Mary Izora Musser, a daughter of James and An- na Albert Musser, and she was born at Hartleton, Union county, on March 28th, 1857, making her age 67 years, 4 months and 29 days. She married Thomas H. Harter, the present editor of the Keystone Gazette, in Novem- ber, 1876, and for the past thirty years had been a resident of Belle- fonte. She was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church and a mem- ber of the Eastern Star. She was es- pecially devoted to her home and her large circle of friends deeply deplore her death. She is survived by her husband and the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Elmer Schoch, of Milton; Mrs. W. R. Penny, of Enola; Albert Mus- ser and Mrs. John Krone, of Harris- burg; Mrs. W. G. Dale and Lowell A. Musser, of Altoona, and Mrs. Charles F. Mensch, of Bellefonte. Rev. William C. Thompson, of the Presbyterian church, had charge of the funeral services which were held at ten o'clock on Monday morning and the same afternoon the remains were taken to Aaronsburg for burial in the family plot in the cemetery at that place. i Jl GIBSON.—The distressingly sad news was received in Bellefonte on Tuesday morning of the sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Blanche Cook Gibson, at her home in New Or- leans, La., early that morning, as the result of an attack of acute nephritis, following only a few day’s illness. Her maiden name was Mary Blanche Cook, and she was a daughter of An- drew J. and Sarah J. Boak Cook, hav- ing been born in Bellefonte on De- cember 6th, 1878.

Gibson when they took up their resi- dence near New York city. Later they were transferred to Chicago and four years ago to New Orleans. Mrs. Gibson was a faithful member of the Episcopal church and a woman of many lovable and endearing qualities. She is survived by her husband, her parents, living in Bellefonte; one sis- ter, Miss Margaret, at home, and a brother, James B., in Colorado. The body was brought to Bellefonte on the 1:27 p. m. train yesterday and taken to the Cook home, on west Linn street, where funeral services will be held at eleven o’clock this (Friday) morning, by Rev.

Joseph Valotta, an Italian of Alle- gheny county, for the second time es- caped death in the electric chair at the Rockview penitentiary on Monday morning. He was convicted in 1923 of killing policeman Edward Couch, in Pittsburgh, and sentenced to electro- cution. The original date set by the Governor was April 14th and two days previous Valotta was brought to the death house by sheriff R. A. Wood- side, of Allegheny county. But on Sunday night, only a few hours be- fore the electrocution was to have taken place, the Governor granted a respite to July 21st. Valotta’s case was taken before the board of pardons but they refused to interfere. In the meantime many influential citizens of Pittsburgh became inter- ested in Valotta’s case, including members of the Congress of Women’s Clubs, and as a last resort an appeal was made to the federal court on the question of constitutional rights and last Friday the Governor again grant- ed Valotta a respite to an indetermin- ate date. + Valotta, who is forty years old, has a wife and five children and the en- tire family came to Bellefonte last Friday and spent two days at the pen- itentiary visiting the husband and father. ——G@Girls’ grey suede sandals $2.98, Yeager’s. 29-1t Speaking of Confiscation. From the New York Commercial. It may sometimes come to a few of us that it is quite as painful to have our property taken away by taxation as it would be to lose it through out- right confiscation. Perhaps it is more painful, because we are robbed by thieves but once, while the tax thieves always come back to repeat over and over again. Ever increasing tax burdens mean added heavy units to the load of the average man’s daily expenditures. The bigger the sum raised Ly taxation the less the size of the funds that would otherwise be on deposit in the savings banks. Also, it mean- less desirable things in the lives of every- body who are not on the public pay- roll. As we said in the beginning, it is as effective to rob a man by taking his money through a useless tax levy as it is to get it by the use of a blue- barreled automatic pressed against his stomach while going through his pockets, : s ——Men’s work shoes reduced in price at Yeager’s. '29-1t Judge Quigley Lenient with Law Transgressors. At a special session of court, on Monday morning, Emory Howe, of Philipsburg, was brought before the bar for illegally having in his posses- sion moonshine whiskey. About a year ago Mr. Howe was given a sus- pended sentence after being arrested for operating a moto * truck while in- toxicated. He was brought into court this time because he was found asleep in his truck on the streets of Philips- burg and a partly filled bottle of |d moonshine in his possession led the officers to suppose he might have been intoxicated before he went to sleep, although he showed no signs of being drunk when arrested. Mr. Howe ad- mitted being asleep but said it was from fatigue as he had been working almost day and night . The court again suspended sentence upon the promise of defendant to keep away from the white mule, and gave him three months in which to pay the costs. Harold Askey, the seventeen year cold youth of Philipsburg, who was before the court a week previous on a serious charge preferred by twelve year old Sarah Lupton, was sent to Glenn Mills. Boyd Bowers, who some months ago was given a suspended sentence following a hearing for desertion and non-support on condition he pay his wife $30 a month, was brought before the court on a bench warrant because he had failed to carry out the court’s order. Mrs. Bowers was unable to be in court but her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Herr, of Orvis- ton, were present and told the court that the defendant had not paid any- thing to the support of his wife and children, but admitted that he had been laid off at the Orviston brick works. They stated, however, that they had nothing against the young man personally and were willing to have the court give him another chance. Consequently the court de- cided to suspend sentence on condition that Bowers go to work and support his wife and two children, and failing to do so he will be brought back and sent to jail. He also gave him a year in which to pay the costs. Leonard Hollobaugh was arrested on July 12th for his failure to pay thirty dollars a month to the support of his wife on an order made by the court six months ago. While he was a prisoner in the county jail the sher- iff of Clearfield county appeared with a warrant for his arrest on the charge of adultery. Inasmuch as his recent arrest in Centre county was not made according to law the court ordered it stricken from the records and Hollo- baugh turned over to the Clearfield county authorities. ——Penn-Pat Dance orchestra, Bus- iness Men’s picnic. 29-1t Big reduction on shoes, at Yeager’s. 29-1t PINE GROVE MENTIONS.
