“Bellefonte, Pa., November 14, 1924. EE EELS, ALL SORTS OF GIRLS. There's the pretty girl, And the witty girl, And the girl that bobs her hair, The girl that’s a flirt, And the girl that is pert, And the girl with the baby stare. There's the dowdy girl, And the rowdy girl, And the girl that is always late; There's the girl of style, And the girl of wile, And the girl with the mincing gait. There's the tender girl, And the slender girl, And the girl that says her prayers; There's the haughty girl, And the naughty girl, And the girl that puts on airs. There's the tulu girl, And the “fool you” girl, And the girl that bets on races; There's the candy girl, And the handy girl, And the girl that has two faces. There's the well-bred girl, And the well-read girl, And the girl with a sense of duty; There's the dainty girl, And the “fainty” girl, And the girl that has no beauty. There's the lazy girl, And the “daisy” girl, And the girl that’s a merry joker; There's the girl that’s shy, And the girl that’s fly, And the girl that bluffs at poker. There are many others, O, men and brothers, Not named in this narration; There are girls and girls, And they're all of them pearls, They're the best things in creation. THE GROWTH OF THE INDIAN RACE. We have always felt some regret when we heard that the Indians, about whom we so enjoy reading, were a dy- ing race. Now comes a report from the government Indian Bureau which says the popular belief is not true. One reason for the common belief that the brave Indian race was bound to become extinct arose from the fact that the tales of early explorers led us to believe that the country “swarm- ed with Indians” in the early days. Thinking that and seeing how few seem to remain now, it was believed that the race must be dying. But there again we were wrong, for the govern- ment officials confidently affirm that never could the Indians have number- ed more than a few hundred thousand. Of course, when our civilization came along it did have a stunning ef- fect upon the wild people, but after a long period of decadence the race is beginning to improve and count for something once more. They have suf- fered in silence as is their habit and gradually have become accustomed to our ways, observing with their keen eyes and their wide awake minds, the new life which has encompassed their own. We must remember that it was not very long ago that the Indians owned a great deal of this country, and less than a hundred years ago hunted over the ground where now are cities. Our own grandfathers had dealings with them, and the writer has seen many an old Pottawattomie war- rior in the State of Michigan who had exciting tales to tell. We are proud also of the fine record our 5,000 Indian soldiers made in France where they were such wonderful scouts. So it is good to know that the In- dians are increasing instead of de- creasing in numbers. The first trust- worthy census of the Indians was made in 1870 and showed a population of 313,712 Indians in this country. Since then they have been steadily in- creasing in number and becoming more and more a part of our civilized life. This is all due to the great finan- cial aid from the government in health service, churches, schools, hospitals and other ways. Indians have lately been found in the enrollment of our collegese to a greater extent than ever before, and little by little many of them have become owners of prop- erty in their own right. Thus we re- joice that the Indians are not a “dy- ing race,” and we can watch and help our dusky brother again take his place as a necessary element of our society, just as the first inhabitants of this land certainly deserve to have. STATE OFFICIALS TO GET SPECIAL TAG. License plates for next year for of- ficial cars of the leading State offi- cials, will be changed slightly in order to give the officials the same numbers on official cars that they have on their personal cars. The tags on the official cars have the letter “S” following the numeral on the plate. The assignments for 1925 are: Gov- ernor, 1s; Auditor General, 3s; State Treasurer, 4s; Secretary of Internal Affairs, 6s; Secretary of Highways, 9s; and Attorney General, 10s. License 2s has been assigned to the Lieutenant Governor, but as Lieuten- ant Governor Davis has no official car, it will not be issued. License 4s for the State Treasurer will probably not be assigned until after May of next year, for State Treasurer Snyder has no official car, but the new State Treasurer, who takes office in May, will probably use the tags. License bs, 7s and 8s have not as yet been as- signed. The changes in numbers for next year will effect Secretary of Internal Affairs and the Auditor General and State Treasurer, the three elective of- ficers. Secretary of Internal Affairs now has 3s but next year will have 6s. The Auditor General’s car is now 4s but next year this number will be as- signed to the State Treasurer, while Auditor General receives 3s, Secretary Woodward’s present number. It was explained at the Highway Department that these changes will not affect elec- | to tive officers only for political reasons but merely to make numbers of offici cars corigspand to numbers of person- al cars of the same officials, FARM NOTES. —Waste oil removed from the crank case of tractors and automobiles can be put to good use this fall freeing poultry flocks of mites, advises The Pennsylvania Department of Agricul- ture. An oil spray can be used effectively to kill the mites found on and near roosts. Almost any oil can be used but since many flock owners have au- tomobiles, the waste crank case oil | is the most practical material. Be- sides oil, a strong lime sulphur, such as that used in the dormant spraying of fruit trees, can be used to kill poul- try mites. When it comes to chicken lice, spe- cialists state thac sodium flouride is perhaps the most satisfactory mater- ial to use. This material is a white powder which, if carefully handled, is harmless to man, but is an effective lice killer. During fall, chickens are most successfe’] reated by the so-called pi _.nod. Seven pinch- es of the powder are used on each chicken, a pinch being the amount of powder one can hold between the thumb and forefinger. The first pinch is rubbed into the feathers on the back of the neck, the second and third on the back near the base of either wing, the fourth on the rump, the fifth un- der the vent and the sixth and seventh under and around either thigh. Care must be exercised to keep the dust out of the eyes and vent. Usually one ap- plication of the chemical gives a com- plete control. —In order that Pennsylvania far- mers may know the exact quality of the fertilizer which they buy, between 800 and 900 samples of fertilizer are being collected by the field agents of the State Bureau of Foods and Chem- istry for analysis. Over $9,000,000 was spent by far- mers for fertilizer in the State last year. Knowing the actual chemical analysis of the brand purchased ena- bles the farmer to better judge its value. There have been times in the past when farmers had to buy fertil- izer in a blindfold fashion, not know- ing what the material contained. A report giving all important facts revealed by the fertilizer tests is is- sued by the Department of Agricul- ture twice yearly, one after the spring and the other after the fall analyses are made. Such reports are found to be a pro- tection to the reputable manufactur- er, at the same time they are safe- guarding the farm purchasers from the irresponsible dealers. It is found that farmers all over the State use these State tests as a guide in select- ing and buying their fertilizer. —A hog in good physical condition can resist cholera infection better than one that is run down and poorly nour- ished, the State Bureau of Animal In- dustry reminds farmers --who raise swine. If the health of the hog is to be kept at its best during the fall and winter, the following points should be observed: 1. A well-balanced ration. 2. Plenty of exercise. 3. Fresh clean water at all times. 4. Well ventilated, lighted and dry winter quarters. 5.. Clean pens and yards. A liber- al amount of air-slaked lime should be spread about the premises frequently. In addition to these requirements, care must be taken when hogs are brought to or hauled from the farm. Newly purchased hogs, boars used for public service, sows that have been away from the farm and all animals returning from shows and fairs should be given a thorough scrubbing in a 2 per cent. Creosol Compound or 2 per cent. creolin solution, using about two and one-half ounces of either to each gallon of water. It is safest to keep such animals by themselves on an iso- lated portion of the premises for three weeks. If they do not show any signs of illness at the end of this time they should be again disinfected and placed in their permanent quarters. The crates in which hogs have been ship- ped, as well as the temporary quarters used for isolation, should be thorough- ly cleaned and disinfected after the hogs are removed. Simple and inex- pensive precautions such as these will prevent thousands of dollars’ loss from cholera and other infectious dis- eases. —Owners of the 110,675 hives of bees in Pennsylvania can double their profits next year if they only will feed and house their bees properly this winter, reports Charles N. Greene, chief apiary inspector, State Depart- ment of Agriculture, after years of observation and inspection of apiaries throughout the State. Last year over 1,328,200 pounds of honey, valued at $317,200, was produced by the Key- stone beekeepers. This production can be doubled in most colonies if owners will be sure that bees have ad- equate stores and are kept from suf- fering during chiily winter days and nights, states Mr. Greene. efore the bees stop gathering nec- tar in the fall, each hive should be ex- amined to see if sufficient stores are present for the winter. If the exam- ination shows the stores insufficient, the bees should be fed at once. The best feed is granulated sugar syrup. This syrup may be made by using 2 parts sugar and 1 part water by meas- ure. The sugar should be poured into the water to facilitate dissolving and the syrup should not be boiled. If burnt or scorched, it is worthless for winter stores because it causes dysen- tery and other bee diseases. Just be- fore cold weather comes on, the bees should be given winter protection, Green emphaasizes. Winter packing cases are most practical where bee- keepers do not have sufficient bees to warrant the expense of building a cellar. The quadruple case is found to be cheapest. In this case, four hives are placed together so that there are six inches of insulation beneath the hives as well as in front and on the sides. There should be at least a foot of covering over the top. The pack- ing material may consist of any fine dry substance such as finely cut straw, chaff, buckwheat hulls or broken for- est leaves. Care should be exercised see that the entrance to each hive is open to the outdoors by means of a small tunnel. : It is too often overlooked, Mr. for breeding purposes, but for clerical Greene points out, that proper feeding work.” : | od § Complete but Un-official Vote of Tuesday’s Election in Centre Co.

If the spring is such that the bees can start gathering nectar early, the stores re- maining from the winter will not be molested. While if the spring is de- layed, they will be able to develop even though they cannot gather nectar from the fields. Always plan to have sufficient food available to last through a late spring, is Greene’s ad- vice. Insufficient stores and a late spring were the causes of the present year being a poor one for the bee- keepers. Transfer the bees to modern move- able ten frame hives as soon as possi- ble. Bees cannot be cared for proper- ly in box hives, gums or other recep- tacles which do not permit the easy removal of the combs for inspection and for treating of diseases. After July first of next year the State law demands the use of modern hives. The Bureau of Plant Industry, Pennsylvania Department of Agricul- ture is charged with the enforcement of this law enacted by the last Legis- lature requiring this change in bee- keeping methods in order that the de- structive foul brood disease may be overcome. Give Birds Rest.—Birds that are to be used for breeding next spring should be allowed a good resting per- iod. It is a good plan to give them unlimited range and to cut down slightly on the amount of protein which is fed them. Fifteen per cent. of meat scrap in the mash is sufficient for these birds. Prune if Needed.—All summer and fall flowering shrubs, vines and trees can be pruned now if pruning is nee- essary. Many plants, however, are pruned by the over-zealous pruner when they actually do not require it. Avoid pruning the spring flowering material, such as forsythia, spirea, magnolia and lilacs, until after they have bloomed in the spring. Planning the Garden.—Autumn is the time to check up on the conduct of varieties of vegetables used this year. Thinking over the good and bad points and jotting down some notes will help later when seeds and plants are or- dered. Note Apple Injuries.—Fruit grow- ers should examine apples to see whether there has been much late cod- ling moth and sideworm injury. They then will know whether they should pay attention to late broods of codiing moth and sideworm next year. Repair Farm Machines.—A few minutes spent this fall looking over the machinery for parts that are bad- ly worn or broken will be profitable. The needed repairs can be ordered and put on during the winter. Then when spring work starts there will be no delay due to broken machinery. Caring for Seed Corn.—Every ker- nel of good seed corn may not be quite worth its weight in gold, but it is worth saving. After the seed corn is properly fire-dried, it should be pro- tected from rats and mice. A few good traps near the corn and a couple of good cats may help. His Qualifications. A prominent man was asked a short time ago for information in re- gard to a youth whom a firm was considering taking into their office. He wrote: “I believe Mr.—— to be an excel- lent young man. He is a grand-son of Gen, ——. He is the cousin of C— B—— S——, related to H—— G—— N——'s, and has an excellent bring- ing up in every way.” The following reply was received from the firm inquiring: “Dear Mr.———: Thank you very much for your letter in regard to Mr——. We would say, hewever, that we do not want the young man FARMERS EXEMPT FROM THE OCCUPATION TAX. Farmers in Berks county have never been assessed for an occupation tax, though in many counties a tax has been levied against them. The State Superior court recently handed down a decision deciding that farmers are exempt from this tax. Allegheny, Dauphin and a number of other counties have assessed a tax against the farmer, which runs from $50 to $150. a, The decision of the Superior Court given by Judge John J. Henderson, settles the matter until the present laws of the State are changed. E. M. Thompson, a farmer of Indiana county, against whom occupation tax had been assessed in that county, ap- pealed to the higher court. It was contended that under the act of April 29, 1844, farmers are specifically ex- empt from being assessed an occupa- tion tax. Indiana county in claiming they had complied with the law, at- tempted to maintain that the law re- ferred to was void because it created an exempted class of citizens. Judge Henderson points out that it is within the power of the State to provide a classification of subjects of taxation. There is no constitutional require- ment that all property be taxed.” “Farmers are not wage earners; they do not receive salaries,” the opinion says. “They have no offices; their business is not a profession or trade; their labor is applied to the soil and may be profitable or other- wise depending on the state of the weather, the prevalence of blight and many other contingencies controlling the chances of profit. The land on which they labor is taxed as is the in- crease of their herds, and the Legis- lature evidently had these conditions in view in excluding them from the class of subjects made liable to the occupation assessment. Clearly they were not subject to tax prior to the adoption of the present Constitution, for they were not so made liable by the Act of 1844, and that Act repeal- ed the Act of 1834, and nothing there- in forbids the exclusion of them as a class from an occupation assessment. The decree is reversed and judgment is now entered for the appellant, Mr. Thompson. Housing in State Worse Than Before the World War. Declaring that housing conditions in Pennsylvania are worse than before the war and are “incompatible with good health, morals and citizenship,” a campaign has been launched by the Pennsylvania Housing and Town Plan- ning Association to remedy conditions by local action and by State legisla- tion. The need for reform was made ap- parent when a survey, conducted by the Assaciation, disclosed an aggre- gate shortage of 6,700 homes in 34 medium towns in the Keystone State. Speaking of conditions discovered through the survey a bulletin of the organization says: “Hundreds of families with room- ers and lodgers are living in over- | crowded bunks, shacks, garages and damp cellars. Here ae the homes of a large percentage of the diseased criminal and immoral. Lut even for these meager accommodations, there is an increasing rent charge. Real Estate Transfers. Anne T.

Los Angeles, Cal.—Whales so thick they resembled shoals, and porpoises so numerous their fleeting backs re- sembled miles of cobblestone highways, were reported sighted off Lower Cal- ifornia by Capt. Fred S. Hayes, cap- tain of the Katrine Luckenbach, which visited this city recently. A whole school of porpoises romped and played all night long just ahead of the captain’s ship, their sides mak- ing a beautiful sight as they glistened in the reflections from the phosphorus in that part of the sea, according te the captain. Several of the crew described a fight between a whale and a swordfish and a thrasher, which must have been a thriller. The thrasher ran ahead and hammered the whale’s nose with his ripping bill, while the swordfish en- deavored to lance the big fellow’s vest from beneath, Every few minutes the whale let forth a mighty boom like a distant cannon, rose high out of the water and came down with a splash. ‘ntent on crushing his little foes. The seamen watched the battle for two hours before the ship pulled en- tirely away from the scene. But Capt. K. A. Ahlin, master of the round-the- world liner President Harrison, which arrived here shortly after the Katrine Luckenbach, said he passed a dead whale a few hundred miles south, and it is believed to be the same one which ‘ost his fight with his little attackers. Captain. Hayes also reported the most perfect waterspout he ever ‘saw coming out of gulf points. He has seen hundreds of them in his 52 years at sea, he said, but never so close.

It especially An unusual gift and one certain of appreciation is the dainty, hoop-skirt- ed lady who hides the telephone or the untidy Ppowderbox, or who may spread her skirts over the electric lamp on the dressing table. Did you know that these dolls may be purchased with only the lovely head attached to a wire frame, so that you may make the quaint and lovely costume according to your own or your friend’s tastes and color scheme ?
