4900 shares of Johns-Manville Co.
stock at a par value of $502,080. The
bulk of the estate was left to his wife,
Caroline S. Meek, with the proviso
that at her death $25,000 is to be paid
to the Fifth Avenue Methodist church,
of Altoona, as a memorial to his moth-
er, and $30,000 to the Fifth Avenue
hospital, New York, as a memorial to

Co.

Machinery Changes Farm Status.
Farm machinery has been improved
so rapidly in the last few years, and
has simplified farming to such a great
extent, that a few years will witness
the passing of the old desire of farm-
ers to move to the city. This opinion
was given by Thomas Conaty, a
Philadelphia manufacturer, in a speech
at Chicago.
“Farming today is not as laborious
as a decade ago,” he declared. “Mod-
ern hier has taken the place of
the antiquated equipment and farmers
are able to accomplish more in one
day than they did previously in two or
three. Not only in tilling the soil has
machinery been a decided asset, but
in turning the various products of
farms into capital.”

with Mrs, William Shuey.

again off for Ohio, for a car load of
COWS.
_ Emeline Noll, of Philadelphia, vis-
ited her father, William H. Noll Jr.
and family, over the week-end.
The big ball game seemed to attract
far more attention than does our
three-cornered fight for judicial hon-
ors.
Mrs. John Herman has returned
from a visit to her brother George, at
Allport. She reports a most agreea-
ble visit.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Showers spent
a few days the past week at Lock Ha-
ven, being guests of the J. C. Greno-
ble family.
Don Humphreys, form setter on the
state road, and D. Brown Sterrett
spent the week-end at Mr. Sterrett’s

. Mrs. Lee Sampsel and daughter
Margaret are spending their vacation
visiting Mrs. Sampsel’s sister, Mrs.
Dears, at Rochester.

Robert, of Madisonburg.
J. D. Herman and wife, accompa-
nied by Rev. McKechnie and wife, left

wick, where a number of friends will
welcome them.
This (Friday) evening a cafeteria
super will be held at the Methodist
Sunday school room. All are cordial-
ly invited. The cause is a good one
and the supper should be liberally pa-
tronized.
Miss Christine Weaver, our assist-
ant posmistress, was incapacitated for
a few days the past week, but again
greets her numerous callers with a
gentle smile. She is an expert on the
smiling proposition.
The state road between the Gap and
Centre Hall will be completed in ten
or fifteen days. From personal obser-
vations I believe there is no finer piece
of road in the State than this short
stretch over the Nittany mountain.
Thomas Williams, the genial clerk
at the Stitzer store, had the misfor-
tune to make a misstep, and falling
abruptly to the ground, broke several
ribs. He is recuperating nicely and
will be back onto his job in a few
days. A little thing like breaking a
few ribs will not deprive Thomas
of his daily labor.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Noll returned
home from New York on Monday
evening. They took a run over in
their airplane and were absent from
home over a week. Mrs. Noll was so
excited over her trip that she said it
was the most agreeable surprise to
her ever enjoyed. When Henry takes
2 i to do any thing he generally
oes it.
It has been a long time since I was
away from home over night. On Fri-
day last I concluded I would take a
run out to Pittsburgh to relieve the
monotony. I decided I would stop off
at Tyrone with my favorite nephew
and family over night and proceed to
the Smoky city the following morning,
and incidentally thought I might take
in the first game of the animated ser-
ies. My friends at Tyorne prevailed
on me to abandon the western trip
until some time later, insisting that
the electric score given by the Y. M.
C. A. would prove about as satisfying
as to the birdseye view on the field of
battle. They argued I would, in the
event I went to the ball field, have to
invest five or six dollars for a front
seat (I never invest in a back seat),
whereas the admission to the Y. M.
C. A. was only a quarter. Being a
Dutchman, that rather appealed to me,
hence I cancelled my first program,
and I am glad to say that the enter-
tainment at the Y. M. C. A. was per-
fectly satisfactory in every detail, so
I was elected to remain with my
friends at Tyrone the balance of the
week. The change proved very satis-
factory to me as I never in my exist-
ence was more royally entertained,
nor had a better time than on this oc-
casion. I met a number of my old-
time friends and formed quite a num-
ber of new and very agreeable ac-
quaintances. All I have to say, if you
want a nice, agreeable time, stop off
at Tyrone. My niece, Mrs. Robert
Miller volunteered to act as chaperon
for me during my stay and I must say
what she don’t know about that little
game is not worth knowing. On Fri-
day morning she proposed that we
take in Altoona. I cheerfully agreed,
since I was deprived of going to the
Mountain city for some years. I found
Altoona had visibly improved in the
last fifteen years. We visited the im-
mense Gable stores and numerous
others; in fact put in a very busy day
and a most satisfactory one as well.
I find the people of Tyrone are a very
progressive people in every detail.
They have three up-to-date banks
which compare very favorably with
our larger city banks. The president
of the Blair County National bank be-
ing a relative of mine, kindly ushered
me through the magnificent banking
institution, and while I have seen and
passed through many banks in the
arger cities, I must confess I never
saw a more fully equipped banking in-
stitution in my life. Every precau-
tion possible is resorted to to protect
its hosts of patrons. I now fully real-
ize why it is that burglars resort to
mid-day bank robberies; simply be-
cause they have the villains beaten
through up-to-date devices. Well,
Saturday came and it seemed like a
very short week. My energetic chape-
ron did not forsake me but finished
her contract when she turned me over
to my friends in Bellefonte Saturday.

Thus far there has not been a great
change; though not freezing it is un-
seasonably cold.

young son, and Miss Carrie Weaver,

Charles Limbert, on Saturday, at
public sale, bought the old home of
Frederick Limbert, deceased. Consid-
eration, $1,600. For the past few
years property has been advancing in
price to a great extent; what causes it
no doubt is the high prices of all else.
Miss Elizabeth Meek, of Bellefonte,
was in town Friday afternoon. Miss
Meek came here for the purpose of
placing the Christmas seals (Red
Cross) in the town and township.
The writer has often wondered why
no one heretofore had time to put
these seals on sale. While in town
Miss Meek made a brief business call
in the home of the correspondent.

These are a few of the articles
found in packages which, for one
reason or another, failed to reach
American soldiers overseas during the
World War. The war department and
the postal authorities have exhaust-
ed themselves in trying to trace own-
ership of the accumulation of un-
delivered packages. Most of the arti-
cles were gifts intended for the soldier
boys. Many were carelessly wrapped.
Lack of return addresses made it im-
possible to identify senders.
Now the eight bags of war relics
will go the way of all dead letter mail.

Prepare Issue of 1926 Auto Plates.
The State Highway Department is
preparing to begin issue of 1926 auto-
mobile license tags.
. Many of the new tags will be made
in the recently completed plant at the
western penitentiary. The present
plates were made at the Pennsylvania
reformatory at Huntingdon. "
Some time in early October the de-
partment will begin mailing applica-
tions to motor vehicle owners for the
1926 tags. As last year, the applica-
tions will be filled in with all the in-
formation regarding engine and manu-
facturers’ numbers, and other details,
and all that will be required is the
signature of the applicant and the
check to cover the cost of the license.
Shipments of the tags are expected to
start within the next few weeks.
This year for the first time the new
tags may be used during the last fif-
teen days of December. In the past
the tags for the current year were re-
quired to be displayed until! midnight
of December 81, but by change of the
motor law by the 1925 Legislature, the
1926 tags may be used legally after
December 15.
One-fourth rates for 1925 licenses
will become effective November 1.
