Bellefonte, Pa., July 24, 1925. Countrv Correspondence PLEASANT GAP. Frank Barnes is re-painting his co- zy home. M. P. Musser is a visitor with his son Abner, at Pitcairn. Mrs. Miles Bilger has been favored with a visit by Mrs. May, of Califor- nia. Progress in moral and intellectual excellence is our duty, our honor, and our interest. Henry Noll continues to explore the heavens above, about three times a week, in his airplane. Miss Emeline Noll, of Philadelphia, made a brief visit with her parents the latter part of last week. Mrs. Henry Young and two chil- dren are visiting with her sister, Mrs. Pownell, at the State capital. Earl Rimmey has about completed his new garage. It is a fine structure, almost equal to a dwelling house. Mrs. Clark Herman, of State Col- lege was a welcome visitor at the Mrs. John Herman home, a few days ago. Daniel Shuey, accompanied by Reeder Jodon and family, were Sun- day visitors of Roland Shuey, of Re- novo. Charles Spicher, wife and daughter Vera, of Anderson, Ind., were visitors at the Michael Spicher home during the week. Exertion is connected with success and renown; and precious few there are at the present time who over-ex- ert themselves. I had my little janitor hoe our corn and late potatoes. Teddy says the darned grass seems to have the best of the corn and potatoes. It’s a bouncing big boy who came to the home of the C. A. Johnson fam- ily, on Monday morning. Mother and newcomer both well and jubilant. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Noll and Sam- uel Jr., accompanied by Mrs. Gheen and her two sons and daughter, mo- tored to Sunbury on Sunday morning. Abner Noll has a crew of painters at work re-painting his comfortable residence. He first made some im- portant improvements, which makes his place very attractive. Miss Margaret Keller visited friends in Williamsport last Sunday. She graduated recently at Williamsport, and says it is a great pleasure to meet her many friends occasionally. The Lutheran Sunday school will hold its annual picnic in Noll’s grove, Saturday, July 25th. Eats of all sea- sonable varieties. Friends are to at- tend and enjoy a rare occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Roush, of Altoo- na, are as happy as can be, since one more has been added to the family. It’s a young son. Mrs. Roush will be better known here as Miss Anna Rim- mey. We come into the world: feeble in body and mind, but with the seeds of improvement in both; and these seeds grow according to the cultivation they receive through exercise; without ex- ercise of body and mind there can be no happiness and no health. Mr. and Mrs. William Shuey moved into their new home on Monday last. Mrs. Shuey was quite ill for some time but recovered sufficiently to re- turn to her new home. She resided with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clay- ton Gettig, during her illness. Mrs. Harry Keller was favored with a kitchen shower last Friday evening, by the members of her Sunday school class. Mrs. Keller will be remember- ed as Miss Mary Sampsell. All were delighted with the pleasant evening entertainment. Mrs. Keller was the happy recipient of some very appro- priate and useful presents. Many countless thousands submit to the foul thralldom of the fiend intem- perance. Bound in his chains, many of the mightiest of the sons of men have fallen; many on whom the heart has rested with idolizing fondness, and whom we have loved, with all their failings, and to whom we have clung to the last, have wandered from the sure and upright path of sober moderation. Contractor Harry Bilger, with a crew of men, has up to this time com- pleted eighteen fifty foot front con- crete pavements. Among the enter- prising citizens are ’Squire J. D. Her- man, Mr. Crumlish, Mrs. John Her- man, Earl Rimmey, William Kerstet- ter, (2;) George Showers, T. E. Jodon, David Rimmey, Charles Rimmey, Wil- liam Klinger, Herbert Showers, Chas. Schreffler, Elmer Swartz, M. E. Par- scnage, Boyd Spicher, and C. K. Stit- zer. Quite a number more to follow. Contractor Bilger is fully equipped and his work is unquestionably up-to- date. We were very highly favored Sun- day last at our home, when a joily bunch of Tyrone visitors gave us a brief call. The tourists consisted of Robert Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Forest Lucas and son, and Miss Jennie Mil- ler and friend. We sincerely hope that their absence will be of short dura- tion. When we say hope, we mean it, inasmuch as there is not a word in our language which has more numerous or more pleasant associations than hope. However, hope is often delu- sive, yet in the greatest misery, the least flickering ray of sunshine pour- ing into the caverns of the heart, re- vives the drooping soul and excites ac- tion, as when some precious gem un- der the sunbeam flashes its radiance and springs into multiplied existence. Hope is a secret instinct to draw our minds to future happiness. Come again, please. - The auto is an indispensable com- modity. Its uses and abuses are in evidence. In some instances I fear that our thrifty farmers at times neg- lect important business interests in order not to be deprived of a vast amount of pleasure, sight-seeing and going to town to see what they can see. On the other hand oft-times the rm | hearts of the aged and children are cheered to the extreme Lmit by being taken to church, or visiting friends who are near and dear to them. An important factor is in swelling the at- tendance of the Sabbath school serv- ices, because of the advent of the au- tomobile. Those who really have the welfare of their fellow-beings at heart can find innumerable opportunities of doing a vast amount of good towards the community at large. Of course, there are many evils connected with the use of the automobile. They are, unfortunately, in - evidence in bank hold-ups, moonshining and kindred other despicable evils. I will give some attention to these evils later. One of the leading events .of the season here, was the birthday surprise party of Miss Grace Confer, which occurred on July 15th, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Confer. The event was in hon- or of the young lady’s 17th birthday. All present spent a very enjoyable evening at games and music, after which delightful refreshments were served. The following guests were present: Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Hoy and family, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Baird and family, Joshua Eckenroth, Paul, Fred and Martha Eckenroth; Ruth and Jay Rachau, Helen Hoy, Adeline Sampsel, Charles Houser, Paul Young, Paul McKelvey, Larry Justice. Also the following members of her class in High school: Luther Brooks, Freder- ick Zettle, Morris Larimer, Harold Mulbarger, Helen Gfrerer, Marie Woomer, Christine Weaver, Pearl Ir- vin, Helen Schrefler, Nellie Baney, Kathryn Sampsel, Helen Markle, Mil- dred Hoy, Audrey Keller, Grace Yar- nell, Eleanor Yarnell, Jeannette Alli- son, Marian Markle and Louise Eck- enroth. Happiness is the chief object for which man labors, and yet how sel- dom does he pause in the pursuit to consider wherein it exists, and how he may best obtain it. The drunkard and the g n, and the degraded lib- ertine look happiness in these sen- sual indulgences, and while gratify- ing them, quail beneath the open gaze of virtue, and acknowledge often, when too late, that those pleasures are of short duration. Behold the ambi- tious man who tramples on the blood of thousands, through every rule of justice, to gain a world! What streams of blood have been shed to gratify his insatiate ambition! How many thousands and millions have fallen beneath the mighty sword of the warrior, and are left lying in dreamless sleep upon the field of bat- tle, merely to gain for himself the wreath of fame, and to entomb him in a splendid sepulchre, though uncon- scious of its beauty and grandeur! The beggar finds a grave as well as the great.man. They are both destin- ed to be food for loathsome worms; and the plow-boy, as he passes by their graves, will whistle the requiem to the reposing ashes of their great- ness. While the living conqueror turns miserably from his conquest, be- cause he finds not that for which he toiled. How many look for happiness in wealth; and when it is obtained, the golden vision of their hopes passes like a sunbeam. Gray hairs and the winter of old age steal quickly upon them and they look with tearful eyes and sorrowing heart, because they feel that death will soon break the chain which binds them to life.

The Jersey City girls are reported as having taken up pipe smoking. Motorists passing the entrance of Hudson County Park, Hudson building and Belmont avenue, say they saw a bevy of flappers puffing contentedly on ornate briars. And park commissioner Adolph Walter merely says: “What if they do. There’s no way of stopping them under the law.” “What made the teacher so angry?” asked Johnnie’s father. “Oh!” said Johnnie, “he was talking about trees, and I asked him if he had ever seen a pink palm.
