Deworvaic: Walden, Bellefonte, Pa., April 10, 1925. Country Correspondence Pomeroy Brooks and wife spent ‘the week-end at the Ray Bell home. Mrs. Lewis Wolford and two chil- «dren, of Snow Shoe, are visiting here. Harry Grove, of Lewistown, circu- lated among friends here a few days .ago. A smile beams upon the Ilover’s heart like a ray of sunshine in the forest. Our schocl directors are seriously considering the necessity of erecting a new school building. John Wilson and family, of Osceola Mills, were week-end visitors at the hospitable Millward home. : Miss Vera Hile, one of our talented young ladies, has accepted a position with the Titan Metal works. The Rockview penitenciary employ- ees added quite a bunch to our popula- tion on April first, moving day. Mrs. Siney Gill, of Huntingdon, was ‘buried at Zion on Tuesday last.

Quite a number of the interested parents of the children ‘were also in attendance. : Our hustling minister, Rev. C. W. Rishel, of the Methodist church, is making a personal canvass of our town, distributing Easter service in- vitations for next Sunday morning.

Mr. and Mrs. William Shuey have moved into their newly furnished "home on Main: street, which is one of ‘the most = desirable locations at the Gap. The young couple were recently married, and- ‘since the contracting parties are of a most congenial dis- position, it goes without saying that they will live happily on their journey | through life. Both the. youngsters come of excellent parentage, which assures a bright future for them. ANSWERING CRITICS. In your last issue I wrote a rather strong plea favoring prohibition, but in my final remarks criticized the en- forcement officers for destroying strictly pute * analyzed liquors, when’ the same should be donated to legiti- mate and responsible hospitals. I said “all our hospitals that un- derstand their business are obliged to keep in stock a supply of choice liquor for medical purposes; they are ena- bled to secure this indispensable com- ‘modity through the appropriations of the legislative body. The source of this revenue comes directly through the tax payer; in other words, the tax payer “pays the fiddler.” ‘Why «not practice common sense and economy ? They should remember that. all con- fiscated liquor is not moonshine, and all strictly pure liquors should, as a matter of economy and the salvation of the tax payer, be preserved and do- nated to the various hospitals in good standing, ete.” alll ge While on my way to the postoffice a lady stopped me and criticized the wind-up of my remarks. She admit- ted that the first part of my views were excellent but said she was disap- pointed at the wind-up. She evident- ly did not take into consideration that a newspaper man is expected -to give the two sides of every topic he writes on when two sides exist. «+ I will en- deavor to give the two sides of the dry and wet issues: The drys tell us what rum has done. It has caused the enactment of laws which have opened the sluiceways of destruction, pouring” forth upon the people of this land a dreadful tide of intemperance, with all the attendant evils of drunkenness, disease and death. It has taken away our proper- ty, earned by patient, faithful labor, and reduced our families to beggary and want. It has diverted the wealth of the Nation from its proper office to the support of the criminal, the pau- per, and the idiot, made such by its blighting- influence. It has extorted many millions from the laborers of the Nation to be expended in main- taining the police forces, the courts of justice, and all the machinery of gov- ernment, devoted largely to a vain ef- fort to remedy the evils it has inflict- ed upon society. It has transformed the fruits of the earth, given for the sustenance of man and beast, into a death-dealing poison which changes men into demons. It has drawn away our young girls from the paths of virtue to dens of in- famy and frightful depths of degre- dation. It has dragged down the gift- ed and noble of all classes from posi- tions of honor, trust and usefulness, and with ruined reputations, and names disgraced, has consigned them to a drunkard’s grave and a drunk- ard’s doom. It has blighted the sun- ny, happy years of childhood, and caused the little ones te pass their lives in squallor, misery and want; and homes that might have been the abode of perennial happiness have been turned into habitations of infer- nal misery. Now, then for the other (wet) side: They say crimes are increasing at a wonderful pace. The list of evils, in consequence of dryness, follows: First, crime has increased 40 per cent, Second, divorces have increased 33 per cent. | just. - Third, murders have increased 40 per cent. Fourth, nearly a million people have become drug fiends. Fifth, over 3,000 persons have died from drinking poisonous liquor, in two years. Sixth, more than 4,000 persons have been killed in conflicts between prohi- bition agents, boot-leggers and citi- zens. Seventh, the Volstead act has cost over $1,000,000,000 in revenue in two years. Eighth, it has increased the con- sumption of red liquor and filled to overflowing all the jails and peniten- tiaries. Ninth, it has more than doubled the money waste in the Federal courts. Tenth, it has raised up an army of lawbreakers and hypocrites. Eleventh, it has failed to show one moral or economic benefit to society, to business or the Federal treasury. The reader will have two sides of ‘a most embarrassing proposition. I do not claim originality for all that is claimed by the contending parties, as I had to get some of the statistics from Washington. The only objection I have to offer regarding my woman critic is that she smokes a pipe; otherwise, I think she is o. k. ¥ SMULLTON. C. L. Beck left last Friday morning for Wilkes-Barre, where he is employ- ed at the carpenter trade. We understand that George W. Crouse will leave for State College this week, to work at the carpenter trade. : Huston Schreckengast and family will occupy the home near the grist mill, at what was formerly called Cen- tre Mills.

In our items last week we omitted mentioning the moving of Fred Con- fer, from near Tyrone to the home west of this town known as the Elias Breon home. He moved on the first of the month. . - Herbert Stover accompanied his un- cle, F. H. Waite, who was taken to the hospital at Lock Haven on Saturday. He is afflicted with paralysis and his wife had been looking after him, but because there was no help to be had, it was deemed best to take him to the hospital. Mr. Stover made the ar- rangements at Lock ‘Haven, with the assistance of C. M. Bierly, who is per- sonally acquainted with the head of the hospital staff. ; This town has its missionaries; not in China, not in Japan, neither in any other country but they consist of home missionaries. The work of our missionaries is to visit the homes of new-comers in thé community and in-- struct them as to which store they are ‘to patronize, whom to neighbor with, .etc. “We have been told that one of these has been very busy since certain people moved to this town. -We. pre- dict - that the time may not be far hence when this same person, (not citizen) will have fence business with the same person or persons. If this should ever happen we will support the same property we always did and which we knew is in the right. - To any fair-minded person a recommend- ation from . another as to who they should. or, should not. neighbor. with, should be evidence enough as to what that kind of person amounts to in a community. We have no mission- aries; the person who comes to us is welcome, the one who’ stays away is welcome also.” We do not ‘believe in. the feeding of taffy to any one, but we do believe in treating people right and bo Le a OAK HALL.
