Sixty Years Married.—Golden wed-
ding anniversaries are not uncom-
mon and yet the couple who lives to
celebrate one considers it a momen-
tous event in their life, but up at Pine
Hall, on Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. John
Henry Neidigh went the golden dream
ten years better by celebrating their
sixtieth anniversary. Their cosy home
was filled with three score or more
guests, neighbors and friends of the
family, and at twelve o'clock the big
dining room was thrown open and the
guests invited to the wedding feast.
And such a dinner as it was. Pre-
pared by the daughters and daughters-
in-law it was a dinner such as can only
be gotten up in one of the good, old
country homes. The feature of the
feast was a huge wedding cake baked
by the daughter Annie. It was topped
with sixty tiny candles which were
snuffed out by Mrs. Neidigh. Following
the dinner there were brief but com-
plimentary speeches by Rev. W. W.
Moyer, Rev. E. H. Romig and others,
and the afternoon was spent in in-
specting the many beautiful presents
received by Mr. and Mrs, Neidigh,
among them being an electric lamp,
the gift of the children.
Mr. Neidigh is of German extrac-
tion, his great great grand-father
coming to this country in 1744. John
_—
Henry was a son of Jacob and Isabelle
Neidigh, early settlers in the Pine Hall
section, where he was born 81 years
ago. Mrs. Neidigh before her mar-
riage was Sarah Ann Kustaborder, a
daughter of George and Katherine
Rhoads Kustaborder. She is eighty
years of age. It was on March 1st,
1866, that the young people drove to
Boalsburg where they were married
by Rev. William H. Grow. They at
once went to farming on the Bailey
farm, at Baileyville, now owned by
D. S. Peterson, but two years later
decided to emigrate and went to Mich-
igan. Four years spent in that State
convinced them that they were out of
their element and they returned to
Centre county, locating on the Gil-
bert Archey farm in the Barrens.
Some years later they bought the
farm and for thirty-six years tilled the
soil thereof. In 1906 they retired to
their present comfortable home at
Pine Hall where they expect to round
out their days. Mr. and Mrs. Neidigh
had ten children, Newton C., Annie,
Frank, J. D., William, Minnie, J. Cal-
vin, Mary, Margaret and Blanche.
William and Frank have passed away
but the other eight are living and all
were present at the gathering on Sat-
urday.

Su Ga
U. S. to Buy up 3rd Liberty Loan.
An offer to purchase $100,000,000 of |
Third Liberty Loan Bonds direct from |
holders was recently announced by |
Secretary Mellon in connection with |
the program for the regular quarterly
financing operations of the Govern-
ment. !
This is the second time the Govern- |
ment will deal directly with holders :
of its securities, the Treasury an-
nouncing that the first attempt in the
last quarter had proved successful.
Brokers will be eliminated in the pro-
posed transaction, the bond owners
dealing with the Government through
authorized banks or dealers.
In anticipation of the March 15 tax
payments, Secretary Mellon also an-
nounced that the Federal Reserve
Banks were authorized to redeem in
cash before March 15 Treasury notes
dated March 15, 1922, and maturing
Marzh 15, this year. This issue
amounted to almost $600,000,000 and
will be redeemed at the holder's op-
tion, at par and accrued interest, to
the date of the optional redemption.
Purchase of the Liberty Bonds will
be made on bidding basis, with the
Treasury reserving the right to accept
the lowest bids or to reject all offers.
Proposals must be received by a Fed-
eral Reserve Bank before March 10
and payments will be made March 23.
This procedure of direct purchasing is
followed, it was explained, to save
commission charges to sellers and to
the Treasury.
The third Liberty Loan Bonds which
will be bought for account of the
cumulative sinking fund sold recently
on the New York Stock Exchange,
above par, at 101.4. Those purchased
will bear accrued interest. Payments
for coupon bonds will be made March
23, and for registered on that date or
as soon thereafter as registration may
be cleared.
