VOLUME 17. REYNOLDSYILLE, PENN'A., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1908. NUMBER 24. MOVEMENT STARTED TO ESTABLISH READING ROOM Young Men of Reynoldsvifle Have Rented a Room for Qub Purposes. NEED SUPPORT AND MEMBERS The past week a movement started In town that, with a little encouragement f rorn the oltlzens, may become a power ful and beneflolent factor in the future social life of Reynoldavllle bo far as it affects the young people of town. Twenty-five or thirty young men, feeling the need of a place where tbey could spend their evenings away from the influences of the street and hotel, banded themselves together for the f purpose of establishing a reading and club room, and have opened temporary quarters in the vacant rooms over F. E. Rodgers' cigar store.' One room has already been comfortably furnished and it will require but little money to equip a suite of rooms adjoining. The move ment was spontaneous among the young ment is absolutely undenominational and has no other purpose than affording to the members and young people of town access to literature books, maga zines and newspapers that probably I none, singly, could secure. Later, if a I larger membership is secured,' and a I desire manifested, a room may be fitted (up for athletics and physical culture, 1 but for the present the aim Is purely Intellectual. There has been no formal f organization of the association and no permanent officers elected, but the young men who have taken the lead in the matter urgently solicit all who are interested In seeing a reacting room es tablished to join them. Any person over eighteen years of age desiring to become a member should hand their name or application to any one of the present members. The admittance fee is only 91 00, with small monthly dues. The need of a reading room in .Reyn oldsvllle is Indisputable. Once before an attempt was made to maintain one, but the movement did not originate with the younger element and never had the hearty support of those for i whom it was intended. This movement originated right among the young men (-themselves and tbey have shown their earnestness by going ahead along their own lines as far as their resources al lowed. It is the broadest, most unsel fish and useful movement of the year in Reynoldavllle and not- only deserves, but commands the prompt and liberal co-operation of every person in town,, who wishes to see established a place where young men, and older ones too, tnay Bpend their evenings tin comfort away from the questionable associations of the street, the hotel and pool rooms. Contributions will be welcomed, as well .as new members and the success of the project depends largely on the interest shown by the people. "Strongheart" at Punxsutawney. When Robert Gaillard appears in Jefferson Theatre, Punxsutawney, as the star of "Strongheart" Thursday, October 29, playgoers will see a comedy drama of Amerioan college life that has no equal on the Amerioan stage. This has been proven bv the ereat hold the play obtained on popular interest iwben it was first produced three years .ago and its subsequent success. The idea upon which "Strongheart" was founded is absolutely original, and in making an Apache Indian a college graduate and in every way the equal of his fair-skinned associates, Mr. Wm. )c. DeMille, created a play which is designed to live In public regard for fenany years. Henry B. Harris hrs fitted his star with a splendid company nd furnished a handsome and thorough scenlo production. Seats on sale at National hotel Reynoldavllle. Special eturn cars after performance.

Deemer was born in Wlnslow township, Jefferson county, on Decem ber 24tb, 1848, when the county was new, and the old citizens were just beginning to clear up their farms. When quite a young man he went into a blacksmith shop, serving there a regular apprenticeship. After learning his trade he worked at blacksmlthing for fifteen years. He then engaged in the lumber butlness, working for six teen years at manufacturing and deal ing in lumber, employing 'quite a num ber of men. In 1806 he embarked in the manufacture and sale of furniture, and to-day has a large furniture factory in Brookville, employing from 05 to 75 men. His life has been a very active one, and tor nearly thirty years he has been an employer of men, having from 25 to 75 men in his employ constantly. This meant giving employ ment and sustenance to many families. He is now a candidate for Assembly, having been nominated by the Demo cratic and Prohibition parties. He Is fully qualified for the position of repre sentative, and II elected will Berve the people of the county honestly, intelli gently and faithfully. He is well ac quainted with' the needs of our county and people, and will do bis best to serve them. . All the candidates for Assembly are pledged in favor of local option. Mr. Deemer favors a local option law that will allow the people to vote on the question by counties. He does not think it would be wise to' have the vote taken by townships and boroughs.

During the winter this breakfast is given to an aggregate of 210,000 homeless men and boys, and up to date over half a million of the home less have had their weary tramp rest fully Interrupted by this unique minis tration. The first of these breakfasts is given on Thanksgiving morning, and the last on the following Easter morn ing. Altogether the Mission supplied this year over 312,000 meals and 57,072 lodgings to homeless men and boys. It is for this grand, philanthropic work that we ask your Kind and practi cal co-operation. The homeless, frlend lesB, disheartened and despairing men and boys of the Bowery are not native New Yorkers, but men and boyi who, until within a- year, lived happily at the old homestead with father and mother, and perhaps wife. Tbey are stranded here and In despair appeal to the Old Bowery Mission, which, for over thirty years, has been to the un fortunate as the resoue cities of old, a haven of encouragement, rest and pro tection.
