Amount Collected in Dog License
Nearly Four Times That Paid for
Sheep Killed.
Some interesting figures in the sheep
and dog report for Centre county have
just been compiled by the State depart-
ment of agriculture. Judging from the
table covering the state report, it ap-
pears as though the Centre county dogs
were a well-behaved lot in 1920, as com-
pared with those] of other counties.
Only 49 sheep were killed in this county
last year out of an estimated number of
11,236 head of sheep. Inj Washington
county dogs killed 348 sheep, which is
the highest slaughter reported.
That the Dog Law of 1917, nnder su-
pervision of the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Agriculture, was more general-
ly enforced and with more : satisfactory
results in than during any pre-
vious year, is indicated by the annual
report issued by the department,

ated scale of Too often
this scale is made up or determined by
political expediency, and yet merit had
its place, too, in the consideration and
deliberation timt attends the parceling
out of the state's money. In the case of
State college both political expediency
and merit clamor for recognition. The
legislature and the executive which
award a large sum to State college are
not only playing good politics, but also
following good business. State college
is one of Pennsylvania's most valuable
assets. Education to ‘any common-
wealth or nation bulks bigger than its
mines and forests, railroads and public
roads, State college, being the people's
university where so long as there is class
room no deserving son or daughter of
the state is turned away when coming
in search of an education, is the most
important foundation stone in higher
education in Pennsylvania.
Forced ito the regrettable move by
their financial condition many other col-
leges and universities of the land are
considering a hard and fixed limit upon
the number of students they will accept.
Some already have such a rule, That
is making higher eduecationia matter of
privilege that works a disadvantage to
the majority. Criticism of the institu-
tion's proposing such restriction is un-
fair for they ‘are limited as to equip-
ment and faculty by the limitations of
their incomes. There is no limit to
the extension or development of such an
institution as Pennsylvania State college
except as the people decline to provide
the necessary revenue and the legisla-
ture refuses to appropriate it, and in
view of the problems and contingencies
facing other colleges and upiversities
there must be no limit to the state's sup-
port of State college if the young men

State Grange Head Will Speak in the
Auditorium Next Thursday Ev'g.
Announcement was made at State
College on Tuesday that John A. Me-
Sparran, Master of the Pennsylvania
State Grange, would speak in the Audi-
torium next Thursday evening, April
7th, An open meeting will be held un-
der the auspices of the State College
local Grange, and the time has been set
for 9.30 so that residents of Centre coun-
ty can drive over for the meeting,
Mr. McSparran was there on a visit
last year in his official capacity, but he
did not give a talk at that time. Al
though he has not announced his sub-
ject for next week's talk, it will deal
largely with the relation that the Grange
bears to the development of agriculture.
Mr, McSparran is a very forceful speak-
nd it is expected that there will be
a large turnout of Centre countians
hear him. A cordial invitation is ex-

NEW
All Money Involved to Remain in the
Neighborhood Instead of Taking
Wings. —~More Business-like and
Practical Methods Proposed.
Recently a copy of a Centre county
paper fell into the writer's hands giv-
ing an account of the recent religious
revival held in a certain town, the num.
ber of converts that were enrolled as the
result of an evangelist’s labors, and the
very large sum of money paid to him,
The thought came to me while read-
ing the report that perhaps the experi-
ence was not sufficiently practical and
economical. The financial features
also reflect adversely upon the regular
“‘divines” of the locality as not being
equal to the task to gather in the *‘be-
nighted” in sufficient numbers,
The following plan suggests itself to
the writer, which appears to be more
economical and practical. Presuming
that the churchmen are willing to pay
ready money for increased church mem-
bership, a fact that has been demon-
strated recently, why not pay th
tor in charge $5.00 for every soul spatch-
ed from the fiery regions of the arch
fiend Diogenes Pluto Myphestoffoles
and added to the church roll of member-
ship. To all others who should be en-
rolled, and are not, offer to pay t$10.00
at the end of one year, this asa lure to-
ward regular church attendance to es-
able the Pastor to lambast the slackers
good and proper on the subject of gener-
al depravity, and, as an incentive to join
the church in full membership at the
end of the year, if not before ;
a possibility of toning them up a bit by
expatiating more fully on the beauties
of the celestial abode where all is joy
and peace.
Such a plan would be no more expen-
sive than hiring an evangelist, and it
would be more practical since all the
money expended would remain in the
bands of the people of the neighborhood
instead of taking wings to parts u
kpown with the flight of the evangelist,
The writer sincerely believes the
plans here suggested would prove pract-
ical and effective in every ‘particular.
Conversion through education and rea
son is apt to be more lasting than by
the doubtful] process of emotion or silly
excitement,

Brick Residence Destroyed by Fire.
The handsome brick residence of
Reifsnyder family in Millheim was en
tirely destroyed by fire last Thursday
morning. The house was occupied by
Joseph H. Reifsnyder and family and
Miss Jennie Reifsnyder though the latter
is now in California where she has been
for several months, The fire originated
in the upper part of the building, but
just how cannot be definitely told. It
was first discovered about nine o'clock
and made such rapid beadway that noth.
ing could be gotten out of the second
floor of the building, though practically
all the first floor furnishings were saved.
The house and contents were, of course,
insured but not sufficiently to cover the
loss. Word of the fire was promptly
telegraphed to Miss Reifsnyder in Cali-
fornia.
Sheriff Raids Houtzdale Stores.
Seven thousand bottles of jamaica gin-
ger, ten cases of wine and a home made
still were confiscated in a raid made by
Sheriff Gorman and deputies at Houtz-
dale, Clearfield county, one night last
week. The clean-up was brought about
by activitiesof the recently organized
Civic club in the town. Information
was obtained against the law violators
and turned over to the Sheriff, who
armed with search warrants, made a
pretty clean sweep,
The store conducted by Mrs, Mary
Abrams on the main street, was one of
the two places raided. There they got
ten cases of wine, containing an alcohol.
ic content of not less than 25 per cent
and 3000 bottles of Jamacia ginger. On
the second floor of the place a home-
made still was discovered.
The second place visited was the
store of Abram Ellis, There the raiders
got no less than 4000 bottles of jamaica
ginger, sa cases of the firey stuff being
untouched. It contained an alcoholic
content of g2 per cent.
