Items of Interest Dished Up for the
Delectation of “Watchman” Read-
ers by a Corps of Gifted
Correspondents.
PLEASANT GAP.
Bert Fulton, of Harrisonville, mov-
.ed to Bellefonte.
Miss Pearl Irwin returned from her
vacation at Punxsutawney.
The bad as well as the good are
.strengthened by organization.
Mr. and Mrs. Patterson and son
Robert, of Chester, are visiting at the
Millward home.
Miss Christine E. Weaver, after
_spending a week at Lewistown, has re-
turned to her home.
Humanity will go farther to see a
game of baseball played than to see
innocent lambs play.
A smile on the face is like the sun
in the heavens—giveth life and light
to all it shines upon.
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Weaver spent
the week-end with the Lee Brooks
family, adjacent to Spring Mills.
Miss Margaretta Keller is now a
student at Pott’s Business College, at
Williamsport. Margaretta is on busi-
ness bent. ’
Mrs. Parker Washburn, of Nanty-
Glo, and Ms. = i Saponte and
daughter Mary, o resson, spent a
ok Yoo, pleasantly at the Frank
Barnes home. Incidentally, they took
in a day at the Grange picnic, while
here.
The employees of Whiterock are
elated since business is improving.
Instead of laying off a day or two a
week they are now required to work
ten hours regular, with favorable
prospects of a continuation of condi-
tions for some time to come. The pay
envelopes are fattening from time to
time.
Deep,
thorough plowing, with a
good point, is the initial act in the
business of every farmer; and to make
his vocation a success, this signal in-
strument needs not only to run into
‘the soil of his field but must also be
made to run through every area—so-
‘cial, political, financial and commer-
.cial—that bears any relation to him.
Harry Crissman, our first-class ton-
.sorial artist, agrees to disagree with
other barbers so far as pertains to
raising the price for hair cuts,-shaves,
ete. He thinks this -is not the time
for an increase, so he will hammer
away at the same old prices. Mr.
Crissman conducted a first-class shop
in the 31st ward, Pittsburgh; moved
to Pleasant Gap and is succeeding ad-
mirably well, and says he can exist
without raising prices. His senti-
ments are endorsed by his many pa-
trons.
When erecting a house it pays to
build a good one. Doc. Stover is
about finishing “his model residence
down at the forks of the state road.
Nothing but the best material obtain-
able was used, and none but practical
mechanics employed. Doc. and a
brother did the carpenter work while
the invincible Otto Hile did himself
‘proud doing the stone cutting. The
handsome structure is a monument to
Pleasant Gap. As a result Mr. Sto-
ver has three substantial purchasers,
and about fifteen would-be renters as
applicants for the premises.
Our public schools opened on Mon-
day; our boys and girls were anxious-
ly awaiting the happy occasion. The
youngsters _will look back to their
school day in after life, not as a place
of penance. but as a scene of mental’
enjoyment, where the paths of learn-
ing were strewn with flowers; and
when memory recalls our school-days
our hearts will warm up to a realiza-
tion “That tall oaks from little acorns
grow.” Years hence this multitude of
school children will be mingling with
the great world, helping forward, in
one way and another, life’s good work.
It is to be hoped that our youngster’s
lives will be made a great success, and
they may be admitted to a higher
school in the life to come.
Blessed are they who have good
manners, even at home. Blessed are
all considerate, thoughtful, obliging
and agreeable people; blessed are they
who have a sense of humor; for they
shall inherit the earth. That is the
true reading for a good wife; not the
1eekness of the folded hands and
downeast eyes, but the meekness of a
cheerful countenance and a ready wit.
These are the meek souls who have
already entered upon the inheritance
of the fair earth and are rejoicing in
it. When they go to heaven, they will

find themselves quite at home, their |
epitaph will have no reference to dain-
ing stockings; it will be in the words
of the most touching obituary sen-
tences: “She was so pleasant and
agreeable.” :
D. B. Allison, of Altoona, delivered
a very forcible address at Noll’s hall
last Sunday, at 2:30 p .m. Mr. Alli-
son is a representative of the Inter-
national Bible Students Association,
who claim that “millions now living
will never die.” They allege that the
world’s war did not make democracy
safe. That all nations are again pre-
paring for war; that eivilization 1s
now terribly shaken up by labor trou-
bles, official lawlessness, profiteering,
Bolshevism, revolution and anarchy.
The cause of the world’s =istress and
the answer to the above questions
were very ably handled by the speak-
er; the attendance was quite large,
and much interest was mainfested by
all present. The Divine plan was en-
tered into in detail.
Rev. M. C. Piper, of Milesburg, fill-
ed the pulpit in the Methodist church,
Sunday. He had a very creditable at-
tendance. The Rev. has a great many
friends here and no known enemies.
He has fought the devil for almost a
life time and although he is retired,
he delights in aiding in the good work
that he has been studiously engaged
in for, you might say, a life time. Na-
ture having endowed him with a
strong mind in a strong body, he bears
the burdens of toil that would crush
smaller and weaker men. His tem-
perament is happily combined, so that
he has endurance associated with en-
ergy, and his brain, while great in
power, is fine in quality. The face
shows courage, calmness, self-poise,
firmness and force of will, over which
plays the light of tenderness and be-
nevolence. He seems to have been en-
dowed with genius for analysis, and
combative courage for decisive action.
Notwithstanding Rev. Piper’s life long
labor for righteousness, his satan’s
majesty is apparently still in evidence
or I would at least think se, from the
actions of a few pretenders who pre-
side in this vicinity.
Care in choice of words is a great
acquirement as we journey on the
voyage of life and should attract the
attention of all. Your first care in the
choice of words should be that they
shall express precisely your meaning.
Words are used so loosely id society
that the same word will often be found
to convey half a dozen different ideas
to as many auditors. Even where
there is not a conflict of meanings in
the same word, there is usually a
choice of words with meaning suffi-
ciently alike canbe used indiserimin-
ately, without subjecting the user to a
charge of positive error. But the cul-
tivated taste is shown in the selection
of such as express the most delicate
shades of difference. Therefore, it is
not enough to have abundance of
words; you must learn the precise
meaning of each word, and in what it
differs from other words supposed to
be synonymous; and then vou must
select that which most exactly con-
veys the thought you are seeking to
embody. There is but one way to fill
your mind with words; that is to read
the best authors and acquire an accu-
rate knowledge of the. precise mean-
ing of their words.

Only Three Books Worth While Says
Legislator.
Representative Hal Wimberly, who
helped influence the Georgia Legisla-
ture to defeat a bill intended to allow
counties, school districts or muniei-
palities to establish libraries, either
y taxation or donation, told the
House he was opposed to all libraries,
that only three books in the world
were worth reading.
“Read the Bible. It teaches you
how to act,” he said. “Read the hymn
book, it contains the finest poetry ever
written. Read the almanac; it shows
you how to figure out what the weath-
er will be.”

A Talk With
a Bellefonte Man |
Mr. Nighthart Tells Something of In-
terest to Bellefonte Folks.
There’s nothing more convincing
than the statement of some one you
know and have confidence in. That's
why this talk with Mr. Nighthart, of
E. Bishop street, should be mighty
helpful here in Bellefonte.
Charles Nighthart, 331 E. Bishop
St., says: “I became run down with
kidney trouble and felt tired and worn
out mornings. I could hardly get to
work. There was a steady, dull ache
across my back and when I stooped or
lifted, sharp catches took me. I also
had dizzy spells and my kidneys act-
ed irregularly. I used Doan’s Pills
from the Mott Drug Co. and they
strengthened my back and kidneys.”

simply ask for a kidney remedy—get

Nighthart had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

And yet at one time both were ardent supporters of Sovietism.
