Predicting Senator Harding's election former President Taft says: “We shall have the League of Nations with the reservations necessary for the guidance and protection of our country.” Holding that Sepator Harding's speech of acceptance makes Republican success certain, Hiram Johnson congrat- ulates the candidate upon *‘his firm and emphatic stand against the proposed League.” Mr. Taft is in favor of the League and Mr. Jobnson would kill it outright. Here are their differing interpretations of Senator Harding's position, both as- suming to speak for him and their sadly divided party. But where do you stand, Senatcr Har. ding? Are you with Taft or are you with Johnson ? A HI AAAI PIA. Typhoid Outbreak at Mill Hall. The outbreak of typhoid fever at Mill Hall seems to have been checked, with the total number o' cases held at seven. Six of the cases are being taken care of at the Lock Haven hospital. One case originated last week, the others occur- ing during the past few days, Dr. John B. Critchfield, of Lock Hav- en, district medical superintendent stat- ed that the source of the epidemic had not been ascertained. It is believed, however, that it is traceable to an old well at a farm from which the families affected receive their milk. The uten. sils used in caring for the milk are washed ia water from this well. A ——— Tyrone Has Disastrous Fire.

B. Mingle.—~ Wm. H. Blauser, Merchant, Passes Away, MincLe.~It was truly a shock to the community to learn early on Monday morning that Mrs, William B. Mingle had died after an illess which began on Saturday forenoon. On that morning Mrs. Mingle arose earlier than usual so that her brother, P, Gross Yearick, who had been visiting her, could have his breakfast before taking his departure for his home in Philadelphia, She was apparently in the best of spirits and after giving her brother an affectionate fare- well, resumed her household duties. It was about nine o'clock, when in conver- sation with a neighbor that she made it known that she had been suddenly seiz- ed with severe pains, and shortly there- after she was put to bed and a physician summoned, Her condition was consid- ered quite serious on Saturday and the following night, Sunday morning her two children came to her bedside and this brought great cheer to the heart of the devoted mother. Sunday reports came from the sick chamber that the patient was much at ease and this was encouragement to fyiends that complete recovery would come. Early Monday morning she fell into a natural sleep—a sleep from which she never awoke. Mrs, Mingle's maiden name was Eliz- abeth M. Yearick, a daughter of Thomas and Phoebe Yearick, and was born in Kratzerville and spent her youth with ber parents at Aaronsburg. Her mar- riage occurred November 10th, 1869, and upon the opening of the Penns Valley Bank, in 1873, the family moved to Cen- tre Hall. Mr, Mingle died December 27, 1912. Mrs. Mingle's age was past sev- enty-one years. : Mrs. Mingle was held in high esteem by a large number of acquaintances. She was most hospitable in her home— a perfect home-maker—and thoroughly devoted to the welfare of her two chil- dren, Mrs. J. Emory Hoy and W. Gross Mingle, both of Philadelphia. She was an active member of the Reformed church during the whole of her life and was a regular attendant at all services. She will be greatly missed in all church circles, Beside the two children named above there survive two brothers, Harry H. and P. Gross Yearick, of Philadelphia. Funeral services were held Wednes- day morning, interment in the local cemetery, The officiating minister was Rev, R. R. Jones, pastor of the de- ceased, Bi arse William H. Blauser, a well known merchant, died at his home at Potters Mills on Sunday about the noon hour, after a short illness, He was born in York county oo April 7, 1851, which makes his age past sixty-nine years. His father's name was John R. Blauser. The deceased, for the past eight years, conducted a general store at Potters Mills, He was a member of three frater- pal orders—the Eagles, Elks and Odd Fellows. Two daughters preceded him in death, but there survive his wife, who was Rebecca Jane Auman, and two daugh- ters—Mrs. R. A. Coldron of Huntingdon and Mrs. J. C. Brown, of Youngstown, Ohio; and a son, John MM. of Potters Mills ; also one brother, Eli Blauser, and seven sisters : Mrs. Anoa Ream, Mrs. Hettie Ream, Mrs. Elizabeth Wal. lic, Mrs. Liddy Minnick, Mrs. Amanda Gipgerich, Mrs. Jane Gepbart, and Mre, Rebecca Laylapd, all of York county. Eleven grandchildren are also left. Funeral services will be held this (Thursday) morning at 9:30 o'clock, and burial made: in Georges Valley. Rev.

The plans for the 1920 Encampment ani Fair, on Grange Park, Centre Hall among other improvements, called for a new headquarters or administration building, conceded by every ove badly peeded. But the illness of the chairman, who had made the plans and hoped to carry them out, was prolonged until fin. ally when death came it was too late, However much needed repairs have been made to various buildings, painting done, and best of all over one hundred trees planted, the majority of which are growing nicely. The committee is making every effort to make this even a better and bigger picnic than last year, which was the most successful gathering we have ever had. The committee appeals to the far- mers and public generally for their hear- ty Support iu every way. Since this is the only fair in Centre county and central Pennsylvania, it is up to us to display the best and finest of our products from the farm and garden 10 the visitors, ~ Secretary, REBERSBURG. Mrs. George Brachbill has returned from a visit to Pittsburg. Mifflin Moyer transacted business at Bellefonte on Monday. Floyd Gramleyjand family, of Horse- head, N, Y., are visiting relatives in this vicinity. Floyd Bowersox and family, who re- sided on a farm near Mifflinburg, were visitors on Sunday at this place. James Miller and family, after visiting relatives for several days at this place, left on Monday for their home in Sun- bury. Our farmers, having stored away their hay and wheat crops, are spending some time gathering huckleberries, which are very plentiful in the moun: tains at the eastern end of the valley. Curtis Bierly has been chosen cash- jer ot the Rebersburg bank, which is gow a sure thing. The building known as the brick store building is being put in shape for a bank building. Harry Smull, the blacksmith, would very much pleased if the party who borrowed his pipe wrench some time ago would return the same at once as he needs it very badly. During an electrical storm on last Saturday evening, the barn owned by Theodore Royer at this place, was struck by lightning and was entirely destroyed. Mr. Royer had ithe barn jammed full of hay and grain, which was quickly licked up by the flames, as well as a large wagon shed, which was full of almost new farming implememts; a hog stable and other outbuildings fell prey to the destructive flames. One of Mr Royer's horses perished in the flames. George Wate's barn which was closely built to the Royer barn, was al- so consumed with all its contents, as well as a scale shed belonging to Sam- uel Beirly. Mr. Royer’s loss is about $2500, with $325 insurance. Mr. Wate's loss is about $1000 with no insurance. Aes———— A — A $12,000,000 Avallable For State Road Work.

While pouring gasoline {from one can to another, Elmer Benner, who resides on a farm one mile east of Miffiinburg, was severely burned when the gasoline ignited in his hands, setting fire to the shed, The shed, a Ford car and the farm im- plements were burned. The home was threatened several times, but was saved by ths hard work of the fire fight. ers who formed a bucket brigade. The fire occurred one evening last week, Col. Spangler Writes from Land of Earthquakes. In a letter to the Centre Democrat from San Francisco, Calitorpia, in which State Colonel |, L. Spangler and wife have been sojourning since tke Democratic national convention and during the time the Colonel has been at- tendig to his duties on the National Mediation Commission. Mr, Spangler writes as follows : ‘Lest some of our friends back home should feel any concern on reading about earthquakes in Los Angeles last Friday, | wish to assure them that Mrs. Spadgler and myself luckily escaped the “shaking up” at Los Angeles—we beat the earthquake just two hours and ten minutes. We took the train at Los An- geles that day at 8a. m. for San Fran- cisco. At 10:19 a. m., when the first quake occurred, we were one hundred miles north of Santa Barbara. Five dis. tinct shocks were felt, the last at 6 p. m., the most violent at 1229p. m. This last was a jolt and straight uplift. Of course high-chimneys, parts of build. ings, telephone wires, etc., came down but no great damage to big buildings, The terror and excitement of the people rushing into the streets, screamns of wo men and children, and the hysteria of «certain persons created a frightful situ. ation all day Friday. Next day the city of Los Angles, 600,000 people, resum- ed their annual pursuits and are talking over their experiences during the confu- sion, “We have met a number here who give us the serious and comic side of it. The blind man on the corner of Spring and Fifth streets, selling shoestrings, etc, grabbed his kit when the first shock came and rushed down the street without interfering or hitting anybody, He was blind no longer. The barber with a patron in the chair getting shaved dropped his razor when the building be- gan to rock, and fell to his knees, cry- ing: ‘I knew it, 1 knew something would happen. 1 didnot go to church last Sunday, I will never miss church again,’ Many women werefaken to the hospitals for treatment, “These people say they are used to quakes here, but give me old Centre county, buttressed on good old limestone rock, walled about by the old mountains, with nothing more disturbing than an occasional thunder and lightning storm, Sincerely, ©].
