Of course the ol ject sought by the discoverer of this unique method of “helping” the government, is an extension of the process into a castom of sufficient pro- portions to make it a real help to the government. He points the plan out 88 80 ideal way of “doing their bit” to those who are unable to buy a liberty b nd, who can’t fight or offer their services iu some other more conspleu- cus way, It certainly means a profit to the government of $7.80 a year, ab. tori ed into the postal revenues it fs true, but nevertheless just ae available us though it were contributed as taxes or given to other war purposes, It Is these little things which messure up 8 peop'e’s patriotism avd their ability to sacrifice and thus give character to a country. EARLY TUESDAY MORNING Prompt Work on Part of Fire Department Averts Greater Disaster to Business Qenter, 85000 Grooery Stock Ruined, Three o'clock Tuesday morning State College was aroused by the call of fire when it was diecovered that the three-story frame building owned by the Boyder estate, and located in the heart of the borough, was in flames. The efficient volunteer fire fighting system of which State College boaste, together with an abundant supply of waler, confined the flames to their origin and saved the business center of the borough from being entirely wiped out, The building, which was located on East College avenue, was occupied on the ground floor by Snyder and Beh- rer’s grocery store, Longee’s restauraut snd Meyer's barber shop. The second floor was used as the sleeping quarters for the Meyer's family. It was the Meyers who first discovered the blaze, which appeared to have ita origin on the ground floor, only when the flames and smoke commenced to get danger- ously near to their sleeping quarters. They escaped none too soon, saving practically none of their personal ef- fects, The arrival of the fire company was a matter of only minutes after the alarm was given, and soon two lines of hose were playing a strong stream on the burning building. It was sev. eral hours, however, until the blsze was under complete control, and only after the building was entirly gutted, The big grocery stock of Bnyder and Behret’s, estimated to have been worth about $5000, is practically en- tirely destroyed, with the possible ex- ception of the canned goods in the cellar, The firm carried insurance on their stock to about two-thirds of its Ym dh» The building was fully covered by insurance by the Boyder estate, The origin of the fire Is a mystery, although there is suspicion that the torch of an incendiary was applied to the bullding. ————— ———— Gave Party for Two Sons, Mr. and Mre, Jacob Sharer entertain- ed at their Lospitable home, east of Centre Hall, on Friday evening, npear- ly two hundred friends in honor of their sone, Ray and Jacob, the former having attained his eighteenth birth day on that date, while the latter's fif- teenth birthday anniversary Is but a month removed.

The Al- toons Tribune's * Observer,” a writer of extraordinary merit, sums up the event in these words : Just as twilight began to fall on one of the most perfect nights of this sum- mer and in the presence of hundreds of people, a beautiful 17x11.foot flag was hoisted to the breeze at Baileyville on Baturday night, The flag had been made by the patriotic women of the Bpruce Creek valley, It was a great patriotic occasion and the event attracted people fom all points between the towns of Bpruce Creek and Bt«te College, while many vieltors were present from all parts of the county, some of whom were former boys and girls of the Bpruce Creek val- ley, home to spend a brief vaction, The ceremony occurred in the trian- gle at the Presbyterian church. It was srrapged by the Red Cross society of which Mre, Daniel Irvin is president, While the Ferguson township band, led by William Cor), played a lively air, the huge flag wae carried by fifty little girls from Ward’s store to the polls which had been erected by the men of the society, On eitter side of the roadway stood a 60-foot pine and the flag was hoisted over the road way by Miss Barah Glenn, Mre. William Frank, Daniel Irvin and W. E. Me. Williams, Miss Glenn had helped to make and hoist the flag fifty-five years ago during the Civil War, and another flag during the Bpanish War, Mr. McWilliams was 8 mere boy during the Civil War, but he also sssisted in raising the flag at that time in front of the Glenn residence. Mra, Frank and Mr, Irvin have both sent thelr sons to the front in the present corfliet. W.

MoUrscken, invok- ed divine blessing. While the flag was being raised the band played '* The Ster Bpaugled Banner” and a great shout went up when Old Glory wae {astened to the top of the poles, Rev. BR. M, Campbell, D. D., pastor of Graysville Presbyterian church, de- livered = stirring address on the glory of the flag and the wonderful changes that have taken place in the life of the uation, Rev. Traub, pastor of the Lutheran church at State College, delivered an earnest address in which he emphs- sized that this Is a time for action, snd not for worde. “We must not mini mize the danger,” said he, “for we are fighting the most powerful war machine the world bas ever known. It took the union troops four long snd bloody years to get to Richmond. The kaiser boasted that his troops wouid eat their Christmas dinner in Parie, but please God not yet. The American manhood of today is com- posed of as good stuf! as ever. Patriot. ism Is mastering one’s self and pour- ing out one’s self for a great cause, and the great cause of the fighting In France ls our cacse. Cowardice is worse than death. Justice and truth are worth dying for.” Mr, Traub urged the mothers to be brave in send- ing their sons to the front and called on his hearers to meet the sacrifice bravely. The Observer recited "Ibe Fisg Goes By,” and with the benediction by Mr. Traub, the program was ended. A social on the church lawn followed, the proceeds going to the Red Cross society. ————— SS ——— MORE PAY FOR TEACHERS, Governor Approves House BUI Adding 85.00 Per Month in Pay for All Olasees of Teachers, Governor Brambsugh on Baturday approved the bill establishing new minimuca salaries for teachers, The teachers’ salary bill was pre- sented by Chairman Milliron, of the House Education Committee, and pro- vides that hereafter the minimum sal aries for teachers with provisional oer- tifioates sball be $45 instead of $40 and for teachers with professional or nor mal school certificates $65 instead of $60, while those with permanent ocer- tifioates shall be §60.
