Penn School Works Hard For American Red Cross The Penn school these days is con centrating upon the task of Ameri canizing foreigners and the work has proceeded so successfully that sever al of the patches on the huge Red Cross blanket have been knit in by a German boy who has four uncles in the German army. The blanket is so attractive that crowds were linger ing in front of the William Strouse store all day and evening. It is ex h'.bited there in the window. In the center of the blanket is a large red cross, knit by Alice Co hen, a little girl born in Russia. Most of the patches were made by children born in Russia, Rumania, Austria-Hungary, Italy and Ger many. These youngsters are only too anxious to do everything they can for America. The knitting on this blanket is so clever that every one comments on the workmanship. Besides the blanket, the Penn building has sent to the Red Cross seven scarfs, seven sweaters, four pairs of wristlets and one pair of socks, and other articles. Col. Frank E.

ROBERT HABGOOD NOW A CANDIDATE Former Legislator and Brad ford Editor Seeks Republican Nfmination For Governor Former Representative Robert P. Habgood, of Bradford, Mclvean county, to-day formally announced himself as a candidate for Governor at the Republican primaries in May. In his note to the newspapers he de cries factionalism and expresses the belief that the party should nominate this year a man free from factional or personal ' influences or entangl ments. Habgood served two terms in the House, several years as presi dent of the Pennsylvania State League of Republican Clybs and was in 1908 a delegate-at-large from Pennsylvania to the national conven tion. With regard to the prohibition and suffrage issues Mr. Habgood says: "Consistent with my unswerving open und constant approval during the past twelve yeara, of a nation wide basis, 1 am ready for and favor the national amendments for prohi bition and woman's sutfrage, and my newspaper, the Bradfora Evening Star and Record will support local candidates in McKean county at the primaries favoring those amendments. The next Governor, however, will not have an opportunity to approve or veto any action thereon taken by the coming session of the General Assem bly, therefore the result then must be decided by the nomination and elec tion of Members and Senators this year. "The Republicans 'up-state,' year in and year out, have voted and worked for candidates residing or selected in Philadelphia and Allegheny counties, and more than once have thereby saved those candidates from defeat, and now my candidacy will enable all Republicans, both 'up-state' and in the dominant cities, to vote for and support a candidate not a resident of, nor selected in, nor by Philadel phia or Allegheny counties.
