A LITTLE COUNTRY PAPER
1 get a little paper from a little country :
.. town—
A far cry from the dailies, that on Sun- i
days weigh us down;
i
{
It’s printed every Friday, and it has no |
supplement.
Nor colored rotogravure but I'm always
glad it's sent.
It gives no clever verses by the syndicat-
ed bards,
But states that Mrs. Williams entertain-
ed some friends at cards;
“Ye scribe’ saw Judge McArthur shak-
"ing hands with friends today—
It says the Curtis family sold out and
moved away.
On Boulder Dam it’s silent, and there's
nothing on finance—
It tells the Rebekahs gave an installa-
tion dance.
That Miss Day is returning soon to open
up her school,
That Alexander Hargrave lost a valuable
mule.
It's glad that Jimmy Gallagher can be
around again.
It claims that the alfalfa crop is much in
need of rain; ;
The supervisors voted for the road work
to commence;
Will Anderson hauled some lumber for his
new garage and fence—
The wordly ones may smile at it, but
there are tender smiles—
These home town items form a bond
through many years and miles.
Oh, little country paper, with your little
weekly talks!
I like to wander with you down remem-
bered roads and walks.

CENSUS WILL COVER
IMMENSE RANGE.
The coming census of the United
States will be the most comprehen-
sive statistical compilation ever un-
dertaken in this or any other coun-
try. It will necessitate the em-
ployment of over 125,000 people to
canvass the dwellings, farms, shops,
factories, stores and other establish-
ments for which data must be ob-
tained. It will cover population,
agriculture, irrigation and drainage,
manufactures, mines, unemployment
and distribution.
The original purpose of the cen-
sus when it was initiated 140 years
ago was simply ‘to ascertain the
population of the several Statesasa
basis for the apportionment of rep-
resentatives, and the taking of a
census decennially for this purpose
is required by the Constitution of
the United States.
The earliest censuses were con-
fined to the one subject of popula-
tion. Censuses of manufactures
were taken in 1810 and 1820; and
statistics of agriculture, manufac-
tures, and mining have been collected
in every decennial census since and
including that of 1840. A census of
manufactures is now taken every, |
two years, and a census of agricul-
ture every five years.
Now for the first time we are to
have a census of distribution, which
may be defined briefly as a gather-
ing of statistics in regard to whole-
sale and retail trade. It will show
the. number of stores of different
types and othed distributing agen-
cies; the number of persons em.
ployed by such establishments; the
principal expenses including rent,
interest and total wages paid; the
stocks of goods on hand December
31, 1929, and the sales during the
year 1929 broken down by commod-
ity. groups so far as practical. The
inclusion of this subject of distribu-
tion means a very material addition
to the work of taking the next cen-
sus. It is estimated that it will be
necessary to convass nearly two mil-
lion establishments.
"So far as possible the census will |
distinguish the main classes of |
goods dealt in, so as to present
separate totals for important classes .
of commodities, such as, for in-
stance, boots and shoes, clothing and :
groceries, But this classification
cannot be carried out completely |
because many merchants do not
keep their books in such a way as
to be able to furnish separate figures
for various classes of goods. In|
manufactures there has been a ten-
dency in the direction of greater |
specialization or concentration
on |
the manufacture of some one ine |
of products. But in retail trade, |
with the development of the depart. |
ment store, the mailorder house, and
the modern so-called drug store
carrying all sorts of other articles |
and drugs only incidentally, it seems |
ag-if the tendency were in the other !
direction.
-In order to make a complete can. |
vass of distribution it
to cover several different classes of
distributors, such as jobbers, com-
mission dealers, brokers, manufac- '
turers’ sales branches, importers and |
and others, as well as retail and:
wohlesale merchants. In cities,
where these various classes are rep-
resented, it will be necessary to use
a number of different schedules or
questionnaires, since a schedule suit-
able for one class of distributors
would not be applicable without
change to other classes. There will
be a special schedule, for instance,
for drug stores, another for grocery |
stores, a third for other classes of !
retail stores, a fourth for whole-
sale dealers in food products, a
fifth for other classes of wholesale
stores, and so on—in all, some ten
or a dozen different schedules. Itis
expected, however, that in the rural
districts and small towns the cen-
sus of distribution will be covered
by one general schedule and the
canvass will. be supervised in this
district by C. .BE.. Yount, Census
Supervisor, 4th District of Pennsyl-
vania. The schedules will be col-
| than pilots.
lected by specially well qualified
enumerators selected for that pur-
pose.
ment counts upon the co-operation
and support of the merchants and
other distributors. While they are
| required by law to answer the ques-
tions on the census schedules and
are subject to penalties if the Cen-
sus Bureau justifies the expectation
that they will recognize the Im-
portance of the census and willing-
ly supply the information requested.
The census takers are forbidden—-
under penalties, to reveal any in-
formation or data obtained through
the census in regard to any individ-
ual person or individual establish-
ment. No one except sworn em-
ployees of the Bureau will be per-
mitted to examine the reports, and
no information can or will be given
out to any person outside the Bu-
reau, whether in Government serv-
ice or in private life, which would,
disclose, either exactly or approxi-
mately, any of the facts or figures
in these reports. The data, as the
law requires, will be ‘used only for
the statisical purposes for which it
is supplied.”
The need for the kind of informa-
tion which may be obtained through
a distribution census is very gener-
ally realized, and has been urged
upon the attention of the American
people by the President of the
United States, by the present Secre-
tary of Commerce, by chambers of
commerce, and business organiza-
tions, especially those concerned in
trade and distribution. It is believed
that one of the reasons why we have
hereto possessed relatively little com-
prehensive information about the
movement of commodities. There is
altogether too much waste in the
present machinery of distribution.
There is too wide a gap between
what the consumer pays. More
adequate information on this sub-
ject should point the way to eco-
nomics that will in the end benefit
the consumer as well as the dIs-
tributor,
Of course these results will not
come about immediately. In thisas
in other things we cannot accom-
plish all we want to all at once.
But the census of distribution will
be the first step, a beginning in the
progress towards improved condi-
tions as regards economy and ef-
ficiency in the processes of distri-
bution.
That we should have the informa-
tion called for by this census isto
the interest of the individual busi-
ness and industry generally. It
should benefit the local community,
as well as the country at large.
FARMER BENEFITS
MOST FROM AIRPLANE
Farmers are more likely to get
genuine benefits from the use of air-
planes than their city brothers for
many years to come, according to the
findings of a survey by The Country
Home.
Planes, according to the magazine,
have already appealed far more read-
ily to the people of the Middle West
and Far West than they have to New
Yorkers, for example. “The restless
daring spirit of the West unquestion-
ably has had much to do with this
lead in aviation,” says the article.
California has more pilots than
planes; New York has more planes
Air-mindedness is keenest in sec-
tions of the United States where ter-
rain and weather are most favorable
for flying. In rocky, foggy New
England aviation has lagged as it
has in the Allegheny region. As one
goes westward the interest in flying
picks up. Flat breasted Ohio, home
of the Wrights, has pioneered in avia-
tion. From Central Ohio to the
Rocky Mountains one can fly safely
over any route, knowing that aside
from a few rough spots, a landing
can be made anywhere. Professional
pilots prefer even the Rocky moun-
tains to the Alleghenies because the
valleys are wider, less wooded and
the air is clearer. Fogs, curse of
the East, are infrequent.
Distances are greater in the West
and there is greater need for rapid
travel. Cattle ranchers as well as
' farmers are learning the advantages
of owning planes. 3
The article cites numerous in-
stances of time and money being
saved by the use of planes. In one
case thousands of acres of rice land
was made productive after a crop
failure by being replanted by planes
in afew days. With the old methods
| the replanting could not have been
accomplished in time for the
crop
to mature,

SALVATION ARMY IN
AMERICA FIFTY YEARS.
Fifty years ago on March . 10th !
the pioneer y -of - the Salvation
y landed at the Battery, New
York City. The invaders were not
numerically strong—just seven “las-
sies” and one man, Commissioner
George Scott Railton. One member
"only of the band survives today—
Ye Emma Westbook, now 86
years of age, who is still on active
service. Her reminiscences of those
early days are very interesting.
|
This and the following facts are
told in the history of the Salvation
Army prepared at the local mission.
A family named Shirley became
converted in the Christian Mission
as the Salvation Army was then
called—in Coventry, England, in
1878. Emigrating to Philadelphia in
1879, they commenced, after the
manner of their kind,
services in an old chair
The movement grew, and
the Shirleys appealed
Booth to send help. Only two years
old, the Salvation Army was num-
erically weak and the only force
available to conquer the New World
was the General’s private Secretary,
George Railton and seven ‘“Hallelu-
jah lassies.” Railton was dubbed a
“Commissioner” and dispatched with
his seven amazons on a typically
winter's day in February to New
York.
Ideas - on uniforms were then
hazy. Railton, a son of the manse,
and a quaint mixture of St. Fran-
cis and John Wesley, procured a
factory.
in 1880
piece of tin on which he printed in
crude letters ‘Salvation Army.” This
he wore on his hat held in place hy
a piece of string. Setting out in
the tracks of Columbus, he was ar-
rayed for the first time in a semi-
military coat. The effect was so
pleasing that the lassies were ar-
rayed in coats of exactly the same
pattern, giving them the merit of
being interchangeable. Their 3ole
artistic touch was a “high crowned
hat with a broad crimson band and
gold letters bearing the legend
“Salvation Army.”
The voyage was not without ex-
citement. Before leaving, a nofed
character of the day, a converted
chimney sweep named Elijah Cad-
man, had prayed as a benediction
that, if the lassies were not going
to be faithful to their vows, Provi-
dence might remove them enroute
by sinking the vessels. It certainly
seemed as if his suggestion was go-
ing to be acted upon, for one of the
cylinders burst, the sails blew over-
board, the ship caught fire, and it
became necessary in mid-ocean to
, transfer some of the passengers to
another ship. But Railton and his
lassies stuck to “the ship that had
been prayed for! The weather was
rough. The lassies were sick and
lay about the deck in the steerage.
Railton tried to divert them by
suggesting they hold a service.
But no one felt equal to. preaching!
He started to sing “We are going
to wear a crown;” But even that
thought gave little comfort to the
sea-sick warriors and Railton re-
tired, beaten for once.
The work spread, new
were opened, and the
centres
Salvation
Army soon became established. At’
the end of the year 1880 Railton
was recalled to England. The first
“War Cry” appeared
1881, being published in St. Louis,
then the furthermost point of the
Army's advance. From these small
beginnings the work has grown
steadily, year by year. Commander
Evangeline Booth assumed the na-
tional leadership in 1905, and under
her vigorous and inspiring direction
, great strides have been made, un-
til today the movement covers the
whole country with a network of
beneficent activities. The statistics
for the last fiscal year show there
are 1,735 corps or posts with 3,814
salaried officers and cadets and 24,-
881 unpaid local officers, 124 Men's
Industrial Institutions, 35 Maternity
Homes and Hospitals, 10 Children’s '
Homes, 9 Women’s Residences, 12
i Settlements, 91 Employment Bureaus
and 16 General Hospitals and Dis-
pensaries, in which 49,224 patients
were treated last year. The con-
verts totalled 109,296 and 126,346
men and women were found em-
ployment. Publications issued dur-
ing the year totalled 12,587,833
copies.
The latest development is a
Young Women’s Residence to be
erected on part of the present Head-
quarters site on 13th.and 14 streets,
New York City. This hotel 11
accomodate between 300 and 400
young business women, and has
‘been made possible by the munifi-
‘cence of John Markle, who has giyv-
en Commander Evangeline Booth,
$500,000 for the purpose. Adjoining '
the hotel, facing on 13th street, is
the new headquarters administration
i building on 14th street, with two
auditoriums, one holding 2,000 and
the other 500. It is anticipated aH
these buildings will be opened in
! April, 1930.
CAR DRIVER MUST STOP,
LOOK AND LISTEN,
| Ruling that it is the duty of a
motorist to stop, look and listen at
a crossing, and to leave his car
to look along the tracks if there
is an obstruction of view, Judge
James H. Gray set aside a verdict
of a jury in Common Pleas court
which awarded Mrs. Jessie Weber,
Overbrook, $12,000 damages from
the Pittsburgh & West Viriginia
Railroad company.
“Did you give the man the third
degree?”
“Yes, we browbeat and badgerea
him with every question that we
could think of but he merely dozed
off saying now and then, “Yes, my
dear. You are right.”
Dr, Lee: “Every time she smiles
at me it reminds me of a Pullman
car at 8 o'clock in the evening.”

‘Dr. Lee: “No lowers,
and very

CHIEF WINESS IN CASE
A DEAF AND DUMB MAN
A deaf and dumb man will be the
chief witness in a case scheduled for
trial at the May sessions of court, in
Bellefonte, and attorneys are specu-
lating as to how the district attorney
is going to get his evidence.
The case is-from Liberty township
and is the outcome of a woman hav-
ing her husband arrested for non-
support. In retaliation the husband
informed members of the State high-
way patrol that his wife had sold a
car which was owned jointly by her
and her son and had signed the son’s
name to the transfer of title. Infor-
mation was promptly made against
the woman and her case is on the
May court list.
An investigation, however, reveal-
ed the fact that the son in question
is deaf and dumb, but has held a
driver's license and operated a car
for four or five years. How he man-
aged to get a license in the first
place is hard to tell. He has no
knowledge of the deaf and dumb
language, cannot talk with his fin-
gers or write, and his only nrzans of
communication with members
the family is by signs.
If his name is written on paper he
is able to make a fair copy of it, and
{it was in this way he signed his ap-
! plications for automobile and driver's
licenses. Just how he will give tes-
| timony in court is a puzzling ques-
tion, and as it looks now the entire
case against his mother will rest on
| the boy's testimony.

SIM'S CLOTHING STORE
CLOSED ON MONDAY
The store of “Sim, the:Clothier”
was cleaned out of stock on Monday.
All the furniture and fixtures have
been sold and will be taken away this
week. Some of the cases were pur-
chased by Charles P. Long, of Spring
Mills; others were sold to State Col-
lege and Lock Haven parties, and
some of the fixtures to the people
who will occupy the room in the fu-
ture.
The room has been leased by the
John Thrifty Stores company, a 5
cent to $1.00 organization, with W.
G. Salmond as manager. The room
will be entirely overhauled and fitted
up to meet the requirements of the
new store, which will be open for
business some time during the com-
ing month.
Verily Bellefonte is becoming a
jtown of chain stores. At present
! there are two of the Weiss pure food
grocery stores located here, two
Clover Farm stores, two Shaffer
| stores and two A. & P. stores. In
‘ the five cent and upward line there is
the McCrory and the G. C. Murphy
| Co., and now the John Thrifty will
' make three of that kind.
Apropos of the business changes
| this spring, before the end of another
‘week the Caldwell & Son plumbing
; establishment and the old Twitmire
tinning shop will both be moved
from High street onto Bishop street.
i Both these stores have been located
for many years in their present
| rooms and in their removal the down
| town section will be left without a
store of their kind.
|
| Next week the telegraph office will
also be moved up town to the Brock-
| erhoff house block and Eckman’s
barber shop will be moved from the
First National bank building into the
iold Valentine building, on High
Street. So far several of the rooms
which” will be vacated have not been
! rented.
