The ground covered with snow on

day school next Sunday at 1:30,
preaching service at 2:30, when a tri-

telephone in her home when an elec-
tric discharge struck her arm, paral-
yzing it for a short time. Mrs. John
Tressler was knocked unconscious
when lightning struck near her home,

The meeting for women of the Ku
Klux Klan, held at Howard on Mon-
day evening, was well attended and
many folks from this vicinity were
present to gain knowledge concerning
the movement. The speaker present-
ed facts which were surprising to
many, concerning the evils of our
present mode of living and urged
every christian man and woman to do
their bit for humanity and generations
to come. Mrs. Gray explained the
motto of the Ku Klux Klan as “not for
self but always for others;” also men-
tioned that the 12th chapter of Ro-
mans has been adopted by them as
their law of life because it contains
more of the practical rules for chris-
tian living than any other one chapter
of the Bible; and also presents to
many of the sacred principles which
the Klan seeks to stimulate. The
creed of Klanswomen is to believe in
Jesus Christ as our Saviour; the sep-
aration of church and State in admin-
istration and organization but united
in their mission and purpose to serve
mankind unselfishly; the American
home as the foundation upon which
rests secure the American Republic,
the future of its institutions and liber-
‘ties of its citizens; in the free public
schools where our children are train-
ed in the principles and ideals that
make America the greatest of all na-
tions; that the Stars and Stripes, the
most beautiful on earth, symbolizing
the purity of race, the blood of mar-
tyrs, and the fidelity of patriots; in
the supremacy of the constitution of
the United States, and consecrate our-
selves to uphold them with emphasis
on the 18th amendment; in the free-
dom of speech, of press and of wor-
ship, it is the right of all citizens
whose allegiance and loyalty to our
country are unquestioned; that the
blood of white should not be mixed
with other races; that the government
of the United States must be kept
from control of alien races and the in-
fluence of inferior peoples; that the
people are greater than any foreign
power or potentate, prince or prelate,
and that no other allegiance in Amer-
ica should be tolerated; that the fu-
ture of the nation rests upon the pur-
ity and united effort of our native
born, white Gentile, Protestant men
and women; that under God the wom-
en of the Kui Klux Klan are sent to
help preserve. and protect our nation,
our State, community, children and
homes, and insure our happiness now
and forever. :
BOALSBURG.

rag party on Tuesday evening.

ing the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.

er, Mrs. M. A. Woods.
The Civic club and firemen are ar-

ial day.
Mrs. Caroline Geary returned to her
home at Centre Hall on Monday, after

of her sister, Mrs. William Meyer.
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Meyer and Jane
Close spent the week-end at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Brooks, near

iness at Millheim.
Mr. and Mrs. John M. Wieland and
son Guy, wife and baby, of Palmyra,
motored to Centre county and spent

friends, principally at the home of
Mrs. Ruth Wieland Klinger.
The business men of the town and
the High school boys played several
interesting games of baseball, the lat.
ter winning both games. During the
game on Friday a wild ball struck

an ugly wound.
PLEASANT GAP.
“In heaven there is rest.”
There are more ways than one of
showing kindness to the unfortunate.
We shall find by scrutinizing the bi-
ographies of the great men of every
age, that those who have possessed
the clearest and most powerful minds,
neither drank spirits nor indulged in
the pleasures of the table.
Owing to the terrific thunder storm
Saturday night our High and gram-
mar school festivities were up against
it. Owing to these conditions the re-
ceipts aggregated only $72.50, which
were more than was anticipated. It
was a beastly bad night.
Our followers in the footsteps of
Izaak Walton are becoming somewhat
discouraged, as very few big catches
of trout have been in evidence up to
this time. More undersized trout have
been caught than those of legal limit,
but they all were thrown back.
There is very little doing at the Gap
this season in the way of erecting new
buildings. However, there is more re-
pairing and remodeling in progress
here at the present than there has
been for years, adding materially to
the general appearance of our pleas-
ant village.
Paul Keller, wife and daughter Bet-
ty, of Philadelptia, spent Sunday
among their numerous friends and
relatives at the Gap. They are great
favorites here and their unexpected
visit delighted all acquaintances. Mr.
Keller has been in the P. R. R. service
since young manhood and is continu-
ing to make good. Mrs. Keller is a
daughter of our townsman, W. H. Noll
Jr., and a former school teacher.
We were surprised on Monday
morning, on awakening to find Moth-
er earth covered with a skift of snow.
The fruit trees were covered with the
beautiful so that they resembled the
blossoming season. Fortunately. no
damage resulted, as an hour after sun-
rise the snow had disappeared. How-
ever, the unseasonable episode has a
tendency to check the products of the
garden from advancing.
Jack Kenneth Crissman, the jolly
son of ‘barber Harry Crissman, aged
ten years, is now very ably assisting
his father in his well regulated barber
shop. The youngster says his mother
dislikes the idea of his ambition to be-
come a hair dresser, since she hoped
that it would lead in the direction of
becoming a minister at a future date,
but the bright youngster does not
agree with mamma, since he believes
that the barbering profession pays
better in a financial way than does
the ministry.
The recent handicap occasioned by
the fire at White Rock has rapidly
subsided. Two new engines are on the
track, replacing the ones recently de-
stroyed by fire and the good work is
again progressing nicely. The prompt
action verifies the fact that brains at
the head of this enterprising organi-
zation are not lacking. There is noth-
ing of the epileptic, terrific or super-
natural in the style of the heads of
this worthy industry. Naturally con-
servative, but enthusiastic in its ad-
vocacy of -progressiveness, the new
superintendent’s success is due to his
skill as an organizer, and his power as
a disciplinarian, his fairness and in-
tegrity in dealing with subordinates.
Teddy Roosevelt Horner and Jack
Kenneth Crissman each received a
handsome book from their teacher,
Mrs. McGargle, for every day attend-
ance during their last school term.
These studious boys appreciated the
gifts immensely. The boys say the
teacher made their lessons so pleasant
to them that it would be ungrateful to
call them tasks. We know that we
have often tried our teacher’s temper,
but she has dealt gently with us in
our waywardness, teaching us by ex-
ample as well as precept, the advan-
tages of kindness and control. We
can never forget our kindly disposed
teacher; we wiil look back to our
school in after life, not as a place of
penance, but as a scene of mental en-
joyment, where the paths of learning
were strewn with flowers; and when
memory recalls our school days, our
hearts will warm toward our faithful
teacher, as they do today. May our
teacher always be as happy as she en-
deavored to make her pupils, and may
they always be as faithful to their du-
ties to others as you have been in
your duty to them.
Pennsylvanians Eat More Cabbage
Than They Grow.
New York shipped as much cabbage
into fifteen large Pennsylvania mar-
kets during 1924 as raised in the en-
tire Keystone State, according to the
bureau of markets which has complet-
ed a survey of the carlot receipts of
fruits and vegetables. Receipts into
the surveyed markets from all States
totaled 4,229 cars last year compared
with 4,236 cars in 1923. The only im-
portant sources of late cabbage in
Pennsylvania cities were New York
with 1,874 cars and Pennsylvania with
132 cars. Receipts of early cabbage
in the larger markets of the State
were mainly from these states: Texas
510; Florida 476; Virginia 415; and
South Carolina 180. Ohio, whose cab-
bage is classed between early and late
production, supplied 232 cars.
Eighty per cent of the 4,229 cars
were sold in Philadelphia and Pitts-
burgh, and eighty per cent of the 1,-
874 cars from New York likewise
moved through these cities. These
two markets do not draw on the sathe
States for cabbage supplies with the
exception of New York and Texas.

Getting Out Your Paper.
Getting out a paper is no joke.
If we print jokes, folks say we are
silly.
If we don’t, they say we are too ser-
ious.
If we publish original matter, they
say we lack variety.
If we publish things from other pa-
pers, we are too lazy to write.
If we don’t print contributions, we
don’t show proper appreciation.
If we do print them, the paper is
filled with junk.
Like as not some fellow will say we
took this from some exchange.
So we did.

Give the Foxes a Chance.
. And Samson went out and caught
300 foxes, and took firebrands, and
turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand
if*the midst of two tails. And when
he had set the brands on fire he let
them go into the standing corn of the
Philistines. And ever since mankind
has been practicing cruelty toward
this little animal. It has been accus-
ed of every crime imaginable, from
stealing poultry to stealing lambs and
pigs, and even calves. It will occa-
sionally carry off a hen or duck, but
this only occurs when there are young
foxes and other food is scarce. For
every head of poultry the fox kills it
pays in the amount of field mice,
moles and destructive rodents killed.
Let a farmer from any cause what-
ever lose a hen or duck, and the crime
is laid at the door of the fox, and a
fox drive is ordered, and men and
women and children gather from far
and near, and every fox that is unfor-
tunate enough to be caught in the cir-
cle of the howling mob is clubbed to
death. ] ey
To that class of people who are al-
ways thirsting for the blood of some
poor wild creature I would say, get a
McGuffey’s fourth reader and read the
“Morning Ramble.” I say give poor
Beynard a chance. — Minneapolis

A Talk with
a Bellefonte Man
Mr. Nighthart Tells Something of
Interest 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, 831 E. Bishop
St., says: “I became run down with
kidney trouble and felt tired and worn
out mornings. I could hardl t 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 acted
irregularly. I used Doan’s Pills from
the Mott Drug Co. and they strength-
ened my back and kidneys.”

That 200,000,000 letters are given
this service, and—
That it costs in one city alone $500.-

And do you know that this vast sum
could be saved and the Dead Letter
office abolished if each piece of mail
carried a return address, and if each
parcel were wrapped in stout paper
and tied with strong cord?
