PLEASANT GAP.
And it snowed.
Edgar Sommers and wife are in
Philadelphia, taking in the great auto
show.
Mrs. Blanche Fetterhoff has been
visiting with friends at Howard.
Houses here are very scarce and
rents are gradually advancing from
year to year.
Roy and George Rockey, of Fill-
more, visited their brother and wife,
at the Gap, on Sunday last.
Mrs. Elmer Gheen is afflicted with
© pleuro pneumonia and is in a very
critical condition, so much so that her
numerous friends are becoming alarm-
ed. #
Kline Grenoble and wife, of Lock
Haven, spent Sunday with Mrs. Gren-
oble’s father, John Mulfinger. It had
been a long time since their last visit
here, hence it was that so many of
their old-time friends were delighted
to see them.
About the close of our Rebellion
men were frequently heard to remark
that they would support his satanic
majesty if he were on his ticket. It’s
different now, sentiments have chang-
ed. 1 know of at least six staunch
Democrats here who supported Cool-
idge at the recent election.
There is something more valuable
than wealth; there is something more
sacred than peace. To ripen, to lift,
and educate a man is the first duty.
Trade, law, learning, science and re-
ligion are only the scaffolding where-
with to build a man. Despotism looks
down into the poor man’s cradle, and
knows it can crush resistance and
curb his will.
I share the opinion of many others
that a newspaper should confine itself
to facts and not wilfully misrepresent
the actual situation. A good, reliable
truthful newspaper is a blessing to
mankind, but the one that wilfully
and maliciously misrepresents the act-
ual situations, as they exist is a curse
and justly deserves humiliation from
an intelligent public. ;
There are many of the minor points
observed in the parlor, or, indeed, at
all social assemblages not public or
semi-public in their character, which
need not be carried out in the full let-
ter and spirit in public, but this must
not be taken to mean that one may be
excused for conduct unbecoming a la-
dy or a gentleman on the street or
elsewhere out of doors.
Orvis Rockey and wife, who for the
present make their home at the Miller
residence, motored to Milesburg, Sun-
day, for a brief call at the home of
the parents of: Mrs. Rockey, and then
proceeded to Fillmore to visit Mr.
Rockey’s parents, and incidentally
teok in the evangelistic services now
in progress there, returning home at
the unseasonable hour of: eleven
o'clock p. m.
Quite a bunch of teamsters are bus-
ily engaged in transporting chemical
wood from Greenvalley to the P. R. B.
station here. People are surprised at
the amount of the finished product
that is being hauled down the state
road from time to time, more espe-
cially since our older citizens predict-
ed fifty years ago that cutting timber
in this locality was a thing of the
past. Like Canada thistles, timber ev-
idently keeps on growing. :
The cherry is the most profitable
small fruit grown. The so-called
“sour” varieties are hardy, vigorous
and frost-resistant. They are late
bloomers and will grow wherever the
apple succeeds. Few fruits will bear
such large loads of lucious fruit, year
after year, with as little expense and
care. Plant cherries; the demand is
great for fresh fruit and the canner-
ies have never been half supplied.
It is supposed that there will be a
substantial = appropriation for the
Rockview penitentiary during the ses-
sion of the Legislature. 1t is a fore-
ordained fact that Rockview is the |
logical institution of this character in
our Commonwealth, with substantial
improvements we will "be able to say
that no institution of the kind can ex-
cel us. The 6,000 acres of good land
attached - makes it a most desirable
penal institution.

pecially when his own defeated candi-
date made the motion to make it so—
“I rather guess nit.” He is too em-
phatically enthusiastic and bull-head-
ed in his own radical views. It is but
reasonable to suppose that his Honor,
like Alexander Kirkham, now thinks
the “days of man are but as grass.”
Today he may be at the top rung of
the ladder, tomorrow he may be cling-
ing to the bottom rung with a ven-
geance. Such is life in our prosper-
ous Commonwealth.
Miss Jean Noll, our cheerful friend,
who is now a nurse in one of the fore-
most hospitals in Philadelphia, is re-
ceiving many kindly considerations
from patients she has attended and
befriended. She is of an unusually
cheerful disposition, cheers up her pa-
tients, which has a tendency to make
her much admired and liked. A few
days ago the nurses were changed
from night to day turn which change
allows them a three day vacation.
Miss Jean had in charge a patient
from New York city, named Hilda
Beck, who recovered speedily on ac-
count of the nurse’s undivided atten-
tion to her patient, coupled with her
unusual cheerful disposition. The pa-
tient in question learning of the brief
vacation took this as the opportune
time to show her appreciation, took
Miss Jean to New York, defraying all
expenses, and in the language of the
recipient, showed her the best time of
her life. Her cheerful characteristics
are what turned the trick. The influ-
ence of sweet cheerfulness strikes us
like pleasant summer breezes, making
creation glad. The heart wouid oft-
times be cold and desolate were it not
warmed by the genial, sunny rays of a
genuine cheerful nature. Spring with
its smiles. gladdens the earth, but
when summer comes, nature bursts
forth into a glow of cheerfulness mak-
ing all things shine with beauty and
forgetfulness. Jean has many friends,
and why not?
The time of year will soon be here
when setting out strawberry plants
will be in order. Unfortunately so
many people neglect this important
duty. Having had considerable ex-
perience in this line will give my ex-
perience to the reader: The old time
berries are now almost a thing of the
past. The progressive everbearing I
consider is the best ail-around berry
in existence; they bear from early
spring until November. It is a cross
between Pan-American and Senator
Dunlap, and the fruit resembles’ the
Dunlap in many ways. It is a good
quality, mild and pleasant and appeals
to the market everywhere; it is: firm,
smooth, and stands handling and ship-
ping well. As a keeper and a com-
mercial berry it will hold up better
than Senator Dunlap and nearly as
well as Warfield. The Progressive is
an enormously productive berry, sin-
gle plants often carry 100 to 150 fruits
at one time. The Progressive plants
are hardy and will withstand a great
deal of freezing and drouth; this ber-
ry will thrive on sandy or rocky soil,
but the largest berries can be grown
on fertile loams and clay soil. The
Americus ranks next to the Progres-
sive, of the wonderful new race of
strawberries. By trying these two
species you can have berries from ear-
ly spring until the hard frosts come.
The plants do not grow as tall as Pro-
gressive but have wonderful strength
and resistance and will withstand a
great deal of hardship. If a lover of
berries, give these varieties a trial.
JACKSONVILLE.

school were entertained at the Aley
home on Friday evening. All had a
fine time; Miss Mildred Aley acted as
hostess to her schoolmates.
James Doolan has announced that
he expects to have sale this spring
and go west again. Mr. Doolen was
formerly a western citizen and now
feels a strong desire to return to his
friends.
Albert Mackey, who had sale re-
cently, expects to move his family and
household goods to Howard, after
which he and John Dolan expect to go
to Akron, Ohio, where responsible po-
sitions await both young men.
The reports of the fox hunters in
this vicinity so far have not been
quite satisfying. The luckiest hunt-
ers have been Fred Lucas, one, and
Mervin Hoy one. At this writing the
snow is too deep to do much hunting,
as it is impossible for the dogs to
stand the strain of ploughing through
it.

Why Suffer So?
Get Back Your Health as Other Belle-
fonte Folks Have Done.
Too many people suffer lame, ach- | p,
ing backs, distressing kidney disor-
ders and rheumatic aches and pains.
Often this is due to faulty kidney ac-
tion and there’s danger of hardened
arteries, dropsy, gravel or Bright's
disease. Don’t let weak kidneys wear
you out. Use Doan’s Pills before it
is too late! Doan’s are a stimulant
diuretic to the kidneys. Doan’s have
helped thousands. They should help
you. Here is one of many Bellefonte
cases:
Mrs. Boyd Vonada, E. Bishop St.
says: “My kidneys were weak and I
could hardly rest at night. When I
was on my feet, my back gave out and
ached so I often had to stop and rest.
I frequently had dizzy nervous head-
aches and my kidneys acted too often.
I used Doan’s Pills purchased at the
Mott Drug Co. and they rid me of the
trouble.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
the same that Mrs. Vonada had.

One Policy
Testing Your Telephone
Equipment—
“HE secret of telephone service reliability is
_ preventative maintenance, as it’s called, or
“correcting troubles before they occur.”
The past ten years have marked the height of
accomplishment in this respect.
There are still “trouble shooters” who are kept
busy repairing the damages of the wind, sleet,
lightning, floods, falling limbs and like disturb-
ance. But there’s a much larger force testing
against trouble that would become serious if
not nipped in the bud.
Complicated and delicate as your telephone
instrument is, it stands up well under reason-
able usage. The circuits and the switchboards,
the cables and the open wires are what require
sharpest watch.
There are daily tests and nightly tests; tests for
rust, hidden dirt and moisture; tests for ex-
cessive wear, friction, and for electrolysis, bad
adjustment and “temperament” in switch-
boards, open lines and cable plant.
It consumes the time of many people, and some-
times costs more than it would to let things
slide and correct them when the break comes.
But it spells service reliability.
