In a small town like Centre Hall the
vice of rash judgment is altogether too
common, Where people know nearly
all their fellow citizens there are some
who are so ungracious and so un-Chris-
tian as to attribute an evil motive
when the actions are prompted by the
best of motives, and they are rather
disposed to relish a ramor that reflects
discredit. Everybody commits indis-
cretions, either willfully or through
ignorance or weakness; but harsh
criticism and rash judgments do not
help the offender, but shove him
down, The golden rule should be ap-
plied in such oases.

Threshing Kagine Nets Large Barn Afire.
The large barn on the farm of John
Haagen, situated about three miles
east of Beech Creek, on the main road |
to Lock Haven, burned Thursday
night. The fire was discovered short-
ly after 11 o'clock and had gained such
headway that only the live stock and |
a few implements were saved, All of |
this season's crops wre a total loss, |
Also 500 bushels of old wheat and 200 |
bushels of old oats, Every building |
about the premises was burned ex- |
cept the house, which a northeast |
wind aided in the efforts to save, i
It is presumed thmt the fire was |
caused by = spark from the engine |
which had been operating there
Thursday Evidently the spark
smotuldered for hours in some obscure
place undetecte”, breaking out in
flame during the night.
The threshing outfit belonged to
George Brungard, of Nittany Valley,
and the thresher which was in the
barn was burned. The engine and
water tank were saved. In the wagon
shed was a hay and straw baler which
was owned by W. (3, Bhafler. This
was burned also.
The loss is a serious one to all con
cerned. Mr. Haagen is an elderly
man and the blow is a hard one on
him. The total loss is estimated at
$4,000, on which there is an insurance
of $2,000 in the Grange losurance
company.
The fire was so near the public road
that people driving from Mill Hall on
the way home from Hecla Park were
held up for several’ hours, unable to
drive past,

The man who pays his debts and
his taxes may be a blessing or a curse
to the community. It depends on
what else he does. In making this
statement it is to be understood that
by the word “debt” is meant the
ordinary cash obligation which a ma:
incurs in the transaction of his busi
nest. There are men who appear to
believe that so long as they are not
indebted to their neighbois for goods
purchased, or the municipality or the
state for the last tax levy they have
discharged their whole duty and
nothing more can be asked of them.
Bat in reality a man's duty to his
neighbor is limited only by his power
to do his neighbor good, and his duty
to the community by his ability to be
of service to it. The community in
which the prevailing statement is
“Whatdo I get out of it?” is one
which does not and cannot prosper,
