PLEASANT GAP.
Miss Christine Weaver spent the
week-end at Lock Haven, returning
home Sunday evening.
Mrs. Harry Armstrong and her
brother, Walter Galbraith, enjoyed a
week-end visit at Yeagertown a few
days ago.
Miss Helen Noll had a severe attack
of indigestion the past week but is
now on a fair way to recovery. This
will be good news to her many friends
here. :
Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Keller, of Phil-
adelphia, after spending a week with
Mr. Keller's parents, E. K. Keller and
wife, returned to their home a few
days ago.
Postmaster George Showers and
family motored to Portage and Cly-
mer to visit friends and relatives.
They report having had a most agree-
able visit.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Sheppard, of
Horseheads, New York, left on Satur-
day for their home, after spending a
part of their vacation as guests of Mr.
and Mrs. Ralph Noll.
John Herman and wife, after spend-
ing their two week’s vacation at the
Grange picnic, Pleasant Gap and
Bellefonte, returned to their home in
Philadelphia, Monday last.
Mrs. Anna Roush, formerly Miss
Anna Rimmey, is spending a week
with her parents here, Mr. and Mrs.
David Rimmey. In the mean time she
has been calling on her numerous old-
time friends. She says she likes her
new home in the Mountain city very
much, but never can or will forget her
old home with its many agreeable as-
sociations.
It is alleged that the Whiterock’s
last two week’s pay, on September
10th, aggregated about $9,000, about
double what was paid out since the
recent change of management. When
we take into consideration that Pleas-
ant Gap has a population of 732 souls,
and most of the employees reside at
the Gap, hence it is that our workers
are enthusiastic over the recent
change in management. Prospects
are quite encouraging.
William Florey and wife, accompa-
nied by Mrs. Rachel Noll and her sis-
ter, Mrs. Blanche Fetterhoff, motored
up to Altoona Sunday last to take ob-
servations of the big automobile track.
‘The entire bunch are strict advocates
.of the “Providence of God and the Di-
vinity of Christ,” hence were too con-
iscientious to take in the recent thril-
ling races. They evidently think there
was no harm in running up on the
Lord’s day to inspect the massive au-
to track.
The candidates for President who
‘have been officially nominated, are
«quite numerous. The fellows who are
eager and willing to serve their dear
«constituency are, Calvin Coolidge,
John W. Davis, H. P. Faris, W. Z.
Foster, Frank T. Johns, Robert M.
LaFollette, Gilbert O. Nations and
William J. Wallace. Outside of Cool-
idge and John W. Davis, the balance
might be designated as dissatisfied
side-shows. However, their entries
may cause some mix-ups when the
final poll is tabulated.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Keller and
daughter Elizabeth have returned to
their home in Philadelphia, after
spending their vacation here and at
the Granger’s picnic. Paul is a well
«qualified accountant. He accepted a
position in the offices of the P. R. R.,
at Altoona, when quite young and
after serving with disticetion for a
number of years was transferred to
the Broad street offices of the P. R.
R., Philadelphia, where he never miss-
es a day, barring his annual vacation.
He is greatly attached to his work,
and the probabilities are that he will
continue in the P. R. R. serivce until
he is, according to custom, legally re-
tired.
Earl Rimmey and family expect to
move into the home of Mrs. John Her-
man. A good move, as Mrs. Herman
has quite a roomy and desirable house
but find it rather monotonous to occu-
py the commodious premises alone.
Mr. Rimmey is the husband of Mrs.
Herman’s daughter Elsie. It is rea-
sonable to suppose that the new com-
bination will never agree to disagree.
The house to be vacated is owned by
Mr. Ralph Noll and up to date in
every respect, with all modern im-
provements and since it will be vacant
on October first and the only vacant

} wouse at the Gap, it will be snapped
up as soon as it becomes known that
a vacancy exists.
The prude, no matter how young, is
known by her stolid air of resistance
to mankind in general. She is started
out in life with an immense conceit of
her moral attributes and becomes, as
she grows older, offensive when she
believes herself to be polite. It is well
to avoid either extreme, and be con-
vinced that an artless gaiety, temper-
ed by refinement, always pleases and
attracts.
There is as much honor and sinceri-
ty and integrity among school boys
as there is among school girls, and
has not the real mother watched and
trained and guarded the sons of her
household as she has her daughters?
The mother of the girl is tender of her
own, like the hen, too often seeks to
smother another one’s chickens. A
girl denied the pleasure of associating
with her boy classmates either be-
comes a willful and disobedient girl,
seeking surreptitiously oftimes the
company of rude and undesirable com-
panions, or a disagreeable pride, who
sees harm in everything.
Home is the school for all things,
especially for good manners. And yet
there is a higher thought in connec-
tion with instilling good manners—
the wonderful power which the par-
ents have, especially the mother, in
moulding the lines of their children so
that their future may be rich in prom-
ise of a better life even beyond the
grave. Immortal life—what mother
does not pray that it may be a glo-
rious one for her darlings. And to her
sons a true mother will instruct that
a sweet-tempered, intelligent, refined
girl, even though she is not wealthy,
will make a far better wife than a
vain, selfish, exacting nature, whose
only aim is to get all she can out of
life, irrespective of any other one’s
wishes or rights.
The Klansmen had a wonderful
turnout at Centre Hall Saturday after-
noon and evening.
spokesman, a gentleman from Altoo-
na, made a very able address. He
touched on all subjects pertaining to
the organization, with a master’s
hand, and in a teachable sprit. He
demonstrated that he is a shrewd
and skillful manipulator of the organ-
ization he so ably champions. It was
agreed by all that the speaker is a
man of collosal intellect, with a heart
to match his mind. The Klansmen of
Pleasant Gap were well represented
and had the satisfaction of aiding in
initiating over 200 new members. One
of our enthusiasts said that the speak-
er should be stamped with the stars
and eagle on one side, and the cross
on the other.
Men and women, old and young, as-
sociating together constitute society.
The older ones exchange ideas and
youthful ones, in imitation of their
elders, fall in love, marry and raise
families; hence society is the great
bulwark, indeed the protection of the
home. The girls are surrounded by
the best of influences and shielded
from harm; the boys are given the
benefit of the companionship of those
whose natures are gentle and kind,
and whose example tends to soften
the roughness of the average boy, who
is, after all,-only an animal in the first
stages of his life. He likes rough
play and would rather climb trees,
hunt, go swimming, fish and play ball
than sit in the parlor and talk to vis-
itors. That is all right, for athletics
develop and strengthen the body, but
a boy can be an athlete and a little
gentleman at the same time. But
when the coltish days are past and
the youth goes to college, he should
be rid of all traces of boorishness.
Our young boys and girls grow up to
take the places of their parents, who
naturally pass from the activities of
life to the restfulness of the beyond,
and when they come into full posses-
sion of their inheritances they realize
what they have missed if their man-
ners are not such as to entitle them
to the places in society once held by
their fathers and mothers.
JACKSONVILLE.
A. A. Garrett purchased a new Ed-

meeting will be held at the home of
Mrs. Edna Rogers, on the first day of
October.

CHINESE SERVANTS EXCELLENT
Intimate Glimpses of the North's
Home Life in China.
Chengtu, China, April 13th, 1924.
Dear Home Folks:
Well, another busy week has passed
and still I haven’t gotten my letter
started on its way. But I feel quite
ambitious tonight, in spite of the
heat, and I'm surely going to get this
letter finished.
Bill and I have been alone all day.
Miss Aster is over helping Miss Og-
den (the sister of the British Vice-
Consul) keep house over the week-end.
We like being alone. We have been
very busy today. Last night we spent
out in the country, and I stayed out
this morning to teach my little for-
eign kiddies their Sunday school les-
son. I walked in from the country at
about the hottest part of the day and
had just my little black straw hat on.
I felt pretty well tired out by the time
I reached home, so after dinnerI laid
down and tried to keep cool. Bill and
I had supper out on the veranda.
That is one nice thing about having
servants. You can have your meals
served anywhere, and they don’t mind
the extra work, if there is any. I'm
ashamed to confess how utterly de-
pendent on my servants I have be-
come. You know I used always to
wash my own stockings and handker-
chiefs at the Seminary and I said I
would always do it out here, and also
my darning. Well, I never have done
the darning, and, although I started in
by washing my own stockings and
handkerchiefs, I soon began turning
them over to my woman to do, and
now I don’t do a thing along that line.
And I must tell you that my boy is
doing the washing very well, indeed,
now. I just had to insist upon his do-
ing it well, and now he does it with-
out my saying anything. We certain-
ly have a fine boy, that is, our own
personal servant. The other servants
we share with Harriet. We call him
Lao Cheu. Cheu is his last name, and
Lao is the term used to designate a
coolie. We hope to be able to take
him with us to Chungking. As he is
not married I see no reason why we
may not be able to do so.
I am enclosing in this letter a copy
of the program of last night’s concert.
Although we are out in what is sup-
posed to be “the wilds of China,” we
have some of the good things of civ-
ilization just the same. Last night's
program was very fine.
I am beginning to think of some of
the things that I need out here, don’t
have, and can’t get. I wish you would
send me a bolt of white and a bolt of
black three eighth inch elastic. I say
a bolt because I want to have plenty
of it on hand. A ten yard bolt of each
will do. I would also like to have
some crochet cotton (use your own
judgment about the numbers) and
some more white embroidery floss.
The elastic ought to be sent in a tin
box, in order to keep it dry. I wish,
too, you would send me a selection of
vegetable and flower seeds. I want to
have them when I get down to Chung-
king. You can make almost anything
grow out here. Even I keep putting
on weight right along. The last time
I was weighed I weighed 152 pounds.
Isn’t that awful? But I feel well and
my clothes still fit me, so I really am
not worrying.
There are many, many more things
I would like to write about, but I
must stop. It is now twenty minutes
of ten and I must get to bed and try
to get some sleep. It is as warm here
tonight as a July night at home. We
need rain badly. Our coolies tell us
that our well is just about dry. Al-
though it is the rainy season, we
haven’t had a hard rain for almost a
month. Everything is on the verge of
drying up. Although I hate the con-
dition of the streets when it rains, I
do hope we’ll have rain soon.
Next Sunday is Easter. I can’t re-
alize it is so long since I left home. I
think of you all every day and wish I
might see you, but I’m happy here. I
guess I must have been born to live in
China. The life just seems to suit me
and I don’t mind the odors in the
streets at all any more.

Western Penitentiary Changes.
At a meeting of the board of trus-
tees of the western penitentiary, held
last Thursday, David I. McCahill was
elected chairman to succeed H. D. W.
English who resigned some time ago.
Mrs. Iams had been acting chairman
since Mr. English’s resignation. The
board also elected Stanley P. Ashe as
warden to succeed John M. Egan, who
recently resigned to become effective
October first. But he was granted a
leave of absence until that date and
Mr. Ashe took charge on Monday.
The resignation of John P. Whalen
deputy warden at Pittsburgh, was re-
quested and promptly given. From
present indications it looks as if the
penitentiaries at Pittsburgh and Rock-
view will in the future be conducted
more as penal institutions than they
have for some time past in accordance
with the wishes of Dr. Ellen Potter,
head of the State Welfare Depart-
ment,
Announce Course for Cow-Testers.
The dairy husbandry extension de-
partment of The Pennsylvania State

testing associations in the State will

to 25th. An enrollment of about
twenty men can be accommodated.
C. R. Gearhart, who is in charge of
this work, states that cow-testers will
be needed to start new testing asso-
ciations beginning November 1st.
Others will be placed December 1st
and January 1st.

All Out of Sorts?
So Was This Bellefonte Woman Who
Tells Her Experience.
All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy spells
and that tired, depressed feeling.
“| Thousands have found new health and
strength by helping the weakened
kidneys with Doan’s Pills—a stimu-
lant diuretic. This Bellefonte case is
one of many:
Mrs. Susan Lyons, R. F. D. No. 1,
Box 49, says: “I suffered with disor-
dered kidneys and my back gave out.
I was hardly ever free from nervous,
dizzy headaches. I used Doan’s Pills
bought at Zeller & Son’s drug store
and was relieved.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Ly-
ons had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,

The Constitution
The Constitution of the United States embodies the wisdom of
the ages as applied to government.
It was drawn for a little nation of three million people. It serves .
as well for one hundred millions.
It was drawn before the great advance in scientific knowledge.
Before the days of steam, electricity and oil.
It has sufficed to meet
the changes incident to the amazing progress made through these dis-
coveries.
Adopted by the last of the thirteen original States, in 1790, one
hundred and thirty-four years ago, it has been amended nineteen
times to meet changing conditions.
Yet no article affecting the great
principles of government has been disturbed.
It is now proposed to destroy the balance of power, the individual
liberty, that this great Charter insures.
The ripe wisdom of the founders of the Republic, the wisdom of
Washington and Jefferson, of Franklin and Hamilton is to be cast
aside. The experience of more than a century disregarded.
We are asked to accept the temporary views of Mr. Robert La-
Follette, of Wisconsin, on the profound science of government.
Shall we now impair, and finally destroy, this precious possession?
