How Are Those
Shoes Wearing?
Perhaps you are one of the very
large number who bought shoes at
this store in the last few months.
If you are, the question applies to
you.
We are interested in every pair
of our shoes that are in service.
Our interest never ceases while the
shoes “live.”
We want to know just how the
shoes we sell wear. If any make
that we handle isn’t up to the mark,
we are just as eager to know it ol
anyone could be-—and if you don’t]
tell us how the shoes wear, we can
never know whether our shoemak-
ers are living up to their contracts
or not.

Must Take an Examination.
Those applying for the position of |
census enumerator do not seem to be]
aware that there is an examination
which all have to take. This is done
by blanks submitted which must be
filled out by the applicant in his own |
handwriting. The various supervisors |
in the state have had much trouble
and about nine-tenths of the applica- |
tions are being rejected. In Chester
county, for instance, of a dozen test |
schedules sent out by Supervisor Tal-|
bot not one was filled in correctly, and |
the applicants, several of whom were
school teachers, did not answer forty |
per cent. of the questions satisfactori- |
ly. It looks as though much difficul-
ty will be experienced in securing
competent enumerators, as the require |
nents of the department are very se-
vere.

Lumber Husiness Brisk.
Our lumber dealers through this sec-
tion are enjoying a great boom in that
line. That commodity has advanced
in price, and orders are many, to the
extent that a number of plants will be
compelled to work night and day to
keep up with the orders. The manu-
facture of {staves for kegs ia occupying
more attention than heretofore. In
this section are the plants of Huyett,

Big Cattle Shipments,
There was a heavy shipment of cat-
tle from the Centre Hall station this
week, and the cattle market is boom-
ing, probably on account of the public
sale season. Four car loads were ship-
ped to eastern markets, two by Wili-
jam Mitterliog; one by D. C. Keller,
and one by B. D. Brisbin. Stock is
bringing a good price in the market.
Good Prices,
Cattle and horses are bringing good
prices at the public sales in the valley,
and there is little difficulty in disposing
of live stock. This is fortunate for the
farmer who Is raising McKinley-pros-
perity-60-cent- wheat.

A BULL ON A RAMPAGE.
An Enraged Animal at The Station Knocks
Over Dr, Glowser,
Monday afternoon an enraged bull
created no end of excitement at the sta-
tion, and for a short time had every-
thing his own way. A car load of cat-
tle was being shipped by B. D. Bris-
bin, and the bull was bought from
Robert Musser, near Spring Mills, Mr.
Musser had dehorned the animal, as it
was not considered safe. To keep the
bull from getting away from them in
driving it to Centre Hall, a large log
was fastened to a chain around the
bull’s neck. This interferred with his
free movements. By the time the bull
arrived at the station, he was in a dan-
gerous mood, and he charged several
persons.
Our young physician, Dr. Glosser,
was an the boardwalk going into the
railroad station when the bull sighted
him. The Dr. made a splendid effort
to get away and sprinted, but slipped
and fell, and the bull ran over him.
The Dr. was either struck by the log
attached to the chain or trampled by
the bull. The right side of his face
was badly skinned and the right eye
He also got a bad bruise
on the back of the head. The Dr.
The bull then made a break for oth-
er parts, and by short cuts across fields
and over fences, got miles out of his

CHURCH BSULD,
The Presbyteriun Property at Centre Hill
Disposed Of,
The public sale of the Sinking Creek
Presbyterian church property at Cen-
tre Hill, took place last Saturday after-
noon, and was attended by a great
many who were desirous of securing
same article or memento of this old
land mark about to be removed.
Before the sale began, Potter town-
ship's constable Philip Frank, appear-
ed on the scene with a document noti-
fying the trustees of the church, that
any article sold by them belonging to
the church, would have to be replaced,
and that the persons whose names
were appended thereto, protested
against the sale being held. The doc-
ument was signed by members and
others on the other side of the valley.
The trustees however went ahead with
the sale, and the large brick building
was bought by B. D. Brisbin for $256,
The organ brought $33, bought by
Joshua T. Potter, The pews and cush-

cludes tho appropriation of $5,000 by
the county; Centre County Veteran

bank, $227; a total of $6,177. At the
memorial day exercises, February 22,
in the public schools of Centre county, |
contributions were liberally made to-
ward the fund. Bo far the County Bu-
perintendent has received returns from
187 schools, which contributed $315.75,
As there are yet 100 schools to hear
from, it is believed the amount given |
by the schools will aggregate about
$500,
In addition to the above there are
other old pledges of G. A, R. posts and |
and private individuals aggregating
close to one thousand dollars, so that
