PFPROGKESS AT TABERNAOLE,

ed For Which Will Turn Big Numbers
Down Sawdust Trall,
The tabernacle meetings are rapidly
gaining ground in spite of the daily
raine, On Hunday night the building
was confortably filled, although the
promise was for rain which presently
materialized at such rede that the
roar on the roof drowped the voice
of the speaker for a time and singing
was resorted to for a few minutes,
Converts are beginning to multiply
rapidly now and within a few days
will comee the ‘break ’’ that is always
devoutly prayed for in these meetings.
Thirty have come forward so far, two
or three of them being childrer, the
rest adulte,
Heveral teams of christian workers
are vieiting and praying from house to

about their work.
The prayermeetings are attended in

Spring Mills Wine Another
In a game which was terminated in
the fifth inning by the raip, Bpriog
Mills defeated Pleasant Gap at the
Intter place Saturday alternoon by the
score of 11 to 1. The ''Gap's’ only
run was scored in the last minute of
play when Lose, the big pitcher,
easught a '' groove ball” and sent it
high over the centre flelder’s head.
Auman of Centre Hall was assisting
the winners and was playing this posi-
tion, He made a desperate effort to
reach the balldnd as he was about to
maka the catch crashed iuto a fence
post which had been pisced there pre
paratory to building a fence around
the ball field, He was badly bruised
in striking the obstruction. Lose wes
knocked out of the box in the second
inning and Hassinger took up the
burden snd proved more effective,
Corman, for Spring Mille, pitched an-
other 24-karat game and was desery-
ing of 8 shut out.
Milton Bradford was another local
player who nesisted the winoere, and
did his share in the victory. His

At the close of the principal address,
Miss McBhame, one of the two aide,

siderable number of her auditors that
they should own & souvenir such as

face, proved a good sales agent here
and elsewhere,
Before coming to Centre Hall, a stop

party was royally received, Beveral

woman suffrage enthusiasts and Wo-
man Suffrage hasbands from here met
the bell party at that point and escort-
ed them across the valley to Penns
Valley's metropoile.
MONTANA WOMAN BPEAKS,
The principal speaker was Mise
Mary Blewart, dean of the University
of Moutans, whose forceful logic and
simple elcquence captivated her
audience. Bhe was easily the foremont
of all the advocates of Votes for We-
{ment and self realization. The his
| tory of earth is written in the struggle
of the masses to wring the powers of
{government from the few and extend
| them to the many.
“ Evolving industrial conditions,
| the great inventions and rew methods
| of industry, have forced many women
‘from the homes into the factories
where the women workers have no
volce whatever in the shaping of con-
ditions there. And business is closely
linked with politics sand both need
cleaning up.
“ We women do not claim that we
unaided could give the best possible
government, but we do claim that
men and women cc-opersting, work-
ing together in harmony, could give a
better form of government. We wo-
men object to being placed upon a
pedestal, we believe that ours sphere is
that of companion, co-worker snd
help-mate in the fullest sense of the
term to man, We want the ballot as
a tool for making conditions better,
Better for us and for our children. It
is the race ideal that things will be
better tomorrow, that the next genera-
tion will be better off than this one,
“ Better homer, better sanitary con-
ditions, better schools, finer streets, in
short better community conditions,
are sure to follow close upon the en-
franchisement of women. Votes for
women means higher, loftier citizen
ship and in Penvaylvania It means
that conditions politically and indus
trially can be made ae beautiful ae the

The borough of Mifflinburg devised
s means for catching speed flends who
persistad in tresting the speed ordi
nance in that place as a joke, as is
done in other places, Centre Hall in-
cluded in the list. Here is their meth-
od: A speed trap with two officers
and stop watches taking the time and
speed of automobiles, was cause for a
big bunch of money being turned over
to the tressury of Mifflinburg during
the past week, and words and phrases
seldom heard in polite society from
the autoists whn were notified to come
up and settle at $10 and costs, The
ordinance calle for a 15-miles-an-hour
speed, A surveyor measured off a
stretoh on ils main street and two men
with stop watches were on the job to
take the time of every machine that
passed over the speed trap. If a ma-
chine covered the distance at a fraction
above the legal limit, the number was
taken and a notice from Squire Get-
gen was recaived iting a settle
