STATE PEN IMPROVEMENT.
Much Progress Made at Roekview
This Year, Says Dr. Ellen Potter,
The construction program
Rockview penitentiary carried on this
Year according to Dr. Ellen CC. Potter,
secretary of welfare, Is the greatest in
the history of the institution. During
the present the large cell
block building ' has been half finlshed
for use, the bakery rebuilt, cannery
constructed, and numerous other im
provements made on the grounds.
“1 feel grateful at the way work
has progressed | at Rook view this
year,’ Dr. Potter said. We had to
choose sometimes as between two im
portant items to push and select the
one which in our judgment was of
major importance to concentrate on.
"Rockview has been in the making
for many years and construction has
been slow. It has been necessary to
have 600 men on the ground all sum-
mer, many housed in tents, and to the
department the most important plece
of work was the completion of one
half of the big cell block which stood
uncompleted as a monument to bad
planning and we have rushed it to the
limit and expect to occupy that por:
tion of it which is now under roof by
the first of the new year.
“We have had to put in pipe line.

ery. start a forestry nursery, build a
concrete bullding block plant as well

"Our farming was handicapped as
was the work of every other agricul
turist by the late spring and a short:
age of tabor but considering these
and the great construction demands
the remiits have been satisfactory.

An Old-Fashioned Pounding.
Seldom do we hear of pastors
at their recep:
to their new fields of labor, as
witnessed last Wednesday evens
when 160 members of the Penns
Lutheran Charge gathered in
the church at Centre Hall to welcome
their pagtor and wife. The program
of special music by the
people of the church, solos,
vocal and violin, plano trdo. All of
these numbers were enjoyed by all
present.
The congregation was then called in-
the Sunday s#:hool of the church,
where the ladies f the congregation
served a most elaborate course of re-
freshments—sandwiches, cakes, coffee
and ce cream.
This was not enough. The pastor
and wife were called into the study of
the church where a complete pounding
was witnessed, consisting of all kinds
of groceries, potatoes, apples, meat,
sausage. and chicken, Glad to say,
however. that the pastor and wife felt
bad effects of the pounding, but
outlived the shock with most delight-
ful results
Thus, a most &lightful evening was
spent all present. Truly, the
of the Vadiey Laitheran
Charge have their ability in
giving their and wife a warm
and hearty into thelr midst,
We take this opportunity of thank
ing and all personally for thelr
contributions which made this

D. Martin Yerkes, “fining ‘squire

in the county ja#l, was removed from
office as a justice of the peace, and
was ordered to pay a fine of $500 and

The sentence was preceded by a bit

presided last October when Yerkes
was convicted of misdemeanor,

“You have been found guilty. Squire
Yerkes, on four counts” said the
judge. “the worst of which was your
refusal to permit a defendant before
