PLEASANT GAP.
Billy Bigler, of Scranton, was home
for a portion of the fishing season.
Mother’s Day services were held in
the Methodist church here on Sunday
evening.
Mr. and Mrs. William Warner are
rejoicing over the arrival of a little
daughter.
William Wolford is home from the
Centre county hospital, and recover-
ing nicely.
Lloyd Sampsell, who is now em-
ployed in Johnstown, visited with his
family here.
Miss Mary Hile, who is teaching
school at Kane, was home over Sun-
day on a brief visit.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hoy, with their
son Clarence and wife motored to
Philadelphia recently.
Entertainments of a harmless char-
acter given in the home are the very
life of society. Men and women are
thus brought together in a familiar
way and the result is good for both.

in longevity. According to statistics
there are now living in the United
States over five thousand people who
have passed the century mark, while
one hundred years ago there was only
a trifle over two thousand.
Sentiment is a powerful factor in
the shaping of our lives. Sentiment
does not altogether mean the lure of
a youth for a maiden, although both
are apt to be sentimental at that time.
Whatever stirs the emotions is sen-
timental in the truest sense.
Our scientists report that we are
gaining materially in point of lon-
gevity. Personally I am glad to know
that this is a fact, as I surely would
like to live as long as I see anybody
else living. A recent report of the
knowing ones verify the fact that

The two little girls of Mr and Mrs.
Edgar Sommers had a narrow escape
recently. They were ‘in the act of
crossing the road when two cars came
along, one of them hitting both girls
and knocking them down, but fortun-
ately neither one was run over. Both
suffered a few bruises but no serious
injuries.
Possibly more bright things have
been said in the course of after dinner
speeches than in all the labored ef-
forts of set speeches by learned
statesmen. Some of the utterances
of men''who have responded to toasts
have had as much to do with the
destiny of nations as the studied
addresses of members of Congress
and cabinet minjsters. It might
possibly be well to watch for the after
dinner speeches that are likely to fol-
low the coming primaries. They will
no doubt be spicy and extremely in-
teresting. There are sure to be some
of the candidajcs that will perchance
be persuaded “that the days of man
are but as grass.”

RUNKLE'S DRUG STORE,
Womans Board of the Sesqui Centen-
nial.
The Sesqui-Centennial Exposition
is a fact! Philadelphia, the birthplace
of freedom, is justly proud of its title
and is making tremendous prepara-
tions to entertain not only the visi-
tors who will come there from all over
the United States but also those from
every part of the world, who will join
in solemn celebration of the 150 years
of American independence.
During this celebration Philadel-
phia, the richest in historical interest
of all the cities of the United States,
will have the opportunity to visual-
ize to its citizens, as well as to the
visiting public, the spiritual scien-
tific, economic and artistic progress
that has been made since the Centen-
nial Exposition was held in 1876.
To receive and entertain the guests
will be the privilege of the women of
Philadelphia. They will act as hos-
tesses and guides to the many shrines
that are memorials of this great na-
tion within Philadelphia and the sur-
rounding country.
Extensive plans have been made by
the Woman’s Committee to have as
far as possible all the old houses and
gardens as well as institutions,
churches, ete., open to the public dai-
ly, and women will assist permanent
guides in showing these places of in-
terest to the guests
Arrangements will be made for
motor trips extending to different
counties in Pennsylvania where his-
toric landmarks and buildings may be
found. The counties of Delaware,
Chester, Montgomery, Lancaster,
York and Bucks are replete with
memorials of a spiendid past.
Loan exhibitions of painting, sil-
ver, glass, china, furniture, etec., will
be centers of interest to those who
value and collect Americana.
A Bureau of Information will be
maintained at the Bellevue Stratford
Hotel where one may obtain accurate
information about special exhibitions
in shops and institutions, as well as
lists of the great industrial plants and
the hours when they may be visited.
The Woman’s Division will give its
intensive attention to the Travelers
Inside the Exposition grounds and
under the Woman’s Division will be
a replica of High Street, now Market
Street, during 1776, where the life
and custom of that period will be
pictured in models in actual size.
There wil be the private dwellings, a
market place, a meeting house, a
school, a factory, and other civic in-
stitutions which had to do with the
town family life of those times.
The Woman's Board of the Sesqui-
Centennial is extending an invitation
for membership to its Pennsylvania
State Committee and to its National
Committee, the latter composed as its
name indicates, of women throughout
the United States who are sufficient-
ly interested to be a part of this inter-
national exposition.
The privileges attached to a mem-
bership in either of these Committees
is the opprtunity to join in a patrio-
tic celebration of our national inde-
pendence. Surely no woman can fail
to appreciate the benefits and bless-
ings that were conferred on this nation
in 1776 when our forefathers with in-
trepid spirit, dauntless courage and
a prophetic vision, won for us the
priceless gift of liberty.
Therefore, the Woman’s Committee
ask you to join with them in making
this Sesqui-Centennial a fitting cele-
bration of this glorious event.
Pointers on Weed Control.
Start the weed war early by sowing
clean seed. If you are in doubt about
the purity of the seed, have a sample
analyzed by the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
Allow no weeds to mature seeds.
Starve weeds by keeping all leafy
parts cut off close to the ground.
Rotate crops. Clean cultivation will
assist greatly in keeping the farm
and lawn clean of most weeds.
Be persistent in attacking weeds.
Don’t stop until every last evidence of
the weed is gone.
Keep weeds out of fence rows and
waste places.
Co-operate with your neighbors in
keeping the whole community free of
weeds.
Get acquainted with the strange
Penn State Girl Wins High Honor.
Breaking her own record, Miss
Anna Haddow, a State College girl
in the Senior class at the Pennsyi-
vania State College, has established
a new scholastic mark that is likely
to stand at the College for many
years to come. For the fifth time she
has been awarded the Edwin Erle
Sparks prize for attaining the high-
est grades of any student in the en-
tire college. She has been in college |
seven semesters and has won this dis-
tinction in five of the seven. As a
special prize for this record she was |
given an engraved leather bound edi-
tion of Tennyson’s works. She is now
on her eighth and last semester in
college and well on the way towards
establishing a still better record.
At the scholarship day exercises the
most coveted and largest reward of-
fered for scholarship by Penn State
went to David D. Henry, of Irwin,
who is president of the Senior class.

Why Suffer So?
Get Back Your Health as Other Belle-
fonte Folks Have Done.
Too many people suffer lame, ach-
ing backs, distressing kidney disord-
ers and rheumatic aches and pains.
Often this is due to faulty kidney ac-
tion and there’s danger of hardened
arteries, dropsy, gravel or Bright’s
disease. Don’t let weak kidneys wear
you cut. Use Doan’s Pills before it
is too late! Doan’s are a stimulant
diuretic to the kidneys. Doan’s have
helped thousands. Here is one of
many Bellefonte cases.
Mrs. E. E. Ardery, Reynolds Ave.,
says: “My kidneys were weak and
out of order. My back ached, too and
I became run down. Dean’s Pills,
which I bought at Runkle’s Drug
Store, have always relieved these at-
tacks and strengthened my back and
kidneys.”
(Statement given April 5, 1922.)
On July 22, 1925, Mrs. Ardery said:
It is the John W. White Fellowship
and provides $600 for graduate study,
which Henry will pursue at Penn
State. He was also announced as the
class valedictorian for the commence-
ment in June.

SPEEDING THE SPOKEN WORD
Two telephonesas invented by Alexander Graham Bell would, if connected
by wire and charged with battery, furnish simple intercommunication.
But that portion of the present telephone plant represented by Bell’s in-
vention comprises but about two per cent. of the whole.
The instrument on your desk is only the inbound and outbound terminal.
You measure its performance not in terms of the recciver and transmitter,
or of the intricate switchboard mechanisms and circuits that lie in between
it and the telephone you call, but rather in terms of the facility and de-
pendability with which it responds to your directions.
That a local call shall be practically instantaneouc, within the limit of ma-
chines and human hands to function, is not an unreasonable expectation.
That on average calls across the state or the continent relatively longer
intervals are now required is probably understood.
Yet there is reason to expect that as time goes on, with the further devel-
opment of operating equipment and methods now of practical use, the
placing and completion of calls to distant point. will more and more
closely approach the facility and speed of local connections.
So great has been the recent improvement in these respects that com-
parison of 1926 with 1906 or even 1916 would make the accomplishment
of those earlier years seem rather ordinary.
Only by such progress does telephone service keep pace with the in-
creasing reliance which American business puts on it.
