PLEASANT GAP.
Is the pesky fly passing away?
To know how to act under all con-
ditions requires great presence of
mind.
Ephriam Keller and family, of Har-
risburg, visited their many friends at
the Gap the past week.
Take women out of society, what
would follow? Billy Ross alleges,
there are plenty of us willing to fol-
low, at all times and under all cir-
cumstances. :
Eight more prisoners escaped since
your last issue; it’s embarrassing to
know that those now enjoying the
sunshine of liberty did not yet receive
their tailor-made suits. pig 1n
The people are evidently beginning
to realize that the Presidential elec-
tion is approaching. A voter from
Greensvalley inquired of our efficient,
postmistress, who the Presidential
nominees are.
On Monday night we were favored
with a much-needed all night rain, ef-
fectually soaking the earth to the
Toots of all garden vegetation. A suf-
ficiency to mature and guarantee a
good yield of garden products.
Miss Eva Zimmerman, formerly of
the Gap, is spending a week with the
Harold Zimmerman family. Miss
Eva has many friends here who are
always delighted on the occasion of
her periodical calls at the Gap.
Mr. Kyle Swaney, accountant, of
Pittsburgh, en route to New York
city, stopped off in Bellefonte to vis-
it old-time friends and incidentally
favored us with a brief call on Tues-
day last, before leaving for the east.
Mrs. James Chambers, of DuBois,
favored the Gap with a three day's
visit. Her numerous friends always
look forward to the time of her annu-
al visits. Rilla is unusually agreea-
ble, hence it is that her presence 1s
always highly appreciated by all. ;
Doc. Grant Keller, of Madison, Wis-
consin, and Mr. and Mrs. Mothers-
baugh, of Boalsburg, with her daugh-
ter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Stew-
art, of Crafton, spent a few days at
the home of their brother, Ephriam K.
Keller. All participating enjoyed the
event most satisfactorily.
Pleasant Gap was well represented
at the business men’s picnic yesterday.
All agree that it was the biggest pic-
nic ever known in Centre county.
They further agree that the program,
without exaggeration, was carried out
with judicious judgment; all were well
pleased with the entertainment.
On Sunday last we were most
agreeably surprised when a large
touring car stopped at our humble
home and three most agreeable gen-
tlemen entered the home. They were
Prof. Leslie Gilliland, Mr. Irwin, a Cur-
wensville capitalist, and another most
congenial friend. The trio motored
from Curwensville to Tyrone, thence
to State College and next our home,
where an hour and a half was most
congenially spent. All proved so
pleasant and agreeable that we re-
gretted exceedingly the time when
our friends had to depart. We first
met Mr. Gilliland some fifteen years
ago, when our High school had reach-
ed a very low standard; so much so
that our directors thought of abandon-
ing it. Fortunately our board made
one more effort, employing young Gil-
liland. The professor is a graduate
of three first class colleges and proved
to be master of the situation. In one
term he elevated our school to a very
high standard. We wanted him for
the year following but unfortunately
Curwensville out-bid us and we had to
hunt a successor, who found our
school in excellent shape, and happily
our High school ever since compares
favorably with most similar institu-
tions. Gilliland’s fame as an efficient
teacher is so well established that it
cannot be shaken by adverse critcism.
As a most competent instructor he
easily outdistanced many competitors,
and takes his place among the first
men of our Commonwealth, and today
stands at the head of the profession.
As a teacher he keeps on in the even
tenor of his way, and is never so
ecsatic as to lose his head among the
clouds; a teacher of taste, intelligence
and sound judgment, with a well-bal-
anced mind, controllad by common
sense and conscience. To him nature
is an open book, and he is one of the
ablest translators. The purity, se-
reneness and dignity of his character

Women Prisoners in for Long Term
May go to Muncy.
Long-term women offenders will be
sent to Muncy if the plan of Dr. Ellen
C. Potter, secretary of welfare, is
approved.
Dr. Potter, who just returned from
an inspection trip through the New
: England States, saw the central re-
formatory plan in actual work in that
section.
roposes to take all old offend-
ers who are not permitted to go to
Muncy and are lodged in county jails
and the penitentiaries and confine
them all in one institution. The plan
must have the approval of the Legis-
lature.
Under the present system in this
State women confined to the peniten-
tiary are shunted about and only
about ninety of the four or five hun-
dred female offenders can be housed
at Muncy, Dr. Potter says.
Short termers among the women
who are sentenced to jail, and who
comprise about fifty per cent. of all
the women prisoners in the State,
will be sent to county farms if this
plan materializes. The short term-
ers, however, will be separated from
those who have committed the more
Sations offenses, under Dr. Potter's
plan.
“I am convinced that it is a fallacy
to suppose the older women prison-
ers are a bad influence for the
younger generation of women offend-
ers,” Dr. Potter said. “There is no
reason why they should be separated
on account of age.”
Dr. Potter plans to remove the age
restriction and send about 100 of the
older women to Muncy.
New Dog License Record is Made.
Strict enforcement of the dog li-
cense law by the Bureau of Animal
Industry has resulted in the establish-
ment of a new record for dog licenses
in the State with a total of 422,040 on
July 1, as compared with 405,804 for
the entire year of 1923. .
Agents of the department under the
direction of John L. Passmore are now
at work in Washington county where
much destruction of sheep and poul-
try has been done by stray dogs. The
agents have covered a number of
counties during the first six months
of the year and caused a general rush
for dog licenses and a number of pros-
ecutions.
The dog fund, which under an act
of 1928 Legislature is expressly ap-
propriated for payment of indemnity
for cattle killed for tuberculosis had
a balance of $366,855 on August 1st,
and will show a big balance at the end
of the two year appropriation period
next June as the law limits the ex-
penditure for indemnity to $300,000
for the two years, most of which has
already been paid.
It is the plan to ask the Legislature
in January to remove the limitation
that more claims of cattle raisers on
the farms of the State who are clean-
ing up their herds can be paid.
Florida Plans to Have Movie Colony
Shortly.
With the announcement that there
will be established a movie colony
near Daytonia, Florida, movie pro-
motors are now in the market for
scores of beautiful girls. To aid them
in their search for beauty there will
be a movie ball staged on the beach,
at that place, on the evening of Au-
gust 21st, it was announced recently.
Local and State beauties will pose
before the camera during the even-
ing so as to have their pictures enter-
ed in the contest for candidates for
the movies colony.
The ball will be participated in by
real stars from filmdom, it was an-
nounced. There will be a floor large
enough to accommodate 500 couples,
and the best orchestra in the State
will supply music for the occasion, it
was said.
The movie colony to be established
will be known as “Sun City.” Con-
struction work will begin in the im-
mediate future, according to the pro-
moters. ‘

Juniata Man Hurt in Auto Accident.
H. B. Givins, a painter in the em-
ploy of a contracting firm at Juniata,
made a business trip to State College
on Monday where the firm he is work-
ing for is engaged in painting a club
house, and near Pennsylvania Fur-
nace, on his way home, his car skid-
ded, broke off one tree at the side of
the road and landed against another,
Mr. Givins being thrown head first
against a third tree. He suffered nu-
merous lacerations and bruises but
no critical injuries. His car was al-
most demolished.
——The big business men’s pienic
is now a thing of the past and next
will be the Granger's fair and en-
campment at Centre Hall.

Are You Tired, Achy---
All Run Dowm?
This Bellefonte Resident Tells You
How to Get Well.
Tired all the time?
Lame, stiff and achy?
Tortured with nagging backache?
Knife-like twinges when you stoop
or lift?
Miserable with headaches, dizzy
spells and bladder irregularities?
All are signs of kidney sickness!
Use Doan’s Pills—a stmulant diu-
retic to the kidneys.
Here’s Bellefonte testimony:
Mrs. E. E. Ardery, Reynolds Ave.,
says: “My kidneys were. weak and
out of order and my back ached. I
became run down, too. Doan’s Pills
from Runkle’s drug store have always
relieved these attacks and strengthen-
ed my back and kidneys.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Ar-
dery had. Foster-Milbum Co., Mfrs.,

EARS of experience have
shown you that BEECH-
NUT Chewing Tobacco never
stoops to conquer.
We don’t use factory hash.
We don’t buy up cigar and
pipe scrap. We don’t pack dust and sweepings
and stems. We don’t cheapen BEECH-NUT
Chewing Tobacco with indiscriminately pur-
chased crops or bulk it by mixing in bitter,
rancid, thick ground leaves.
BEECH-NUT is always a clean, pure, pro-
duct, especially cut to just the right size and
prepared through to sealing without one touch
of hum an hands.
That's why it’s still the biggest selling brand
in the world. The truest friend 10c. ever had.
