INSTALLING ELEVATOR
Last week the BeUwood Furniture
company placed a number of men at
work getting a pit in readiness for
the installation of an electric elevator. During the progress of the
work the men encountered a stream
of water flowing into the pit and it
came in so fast as to cause the belief ttat it was coming from, a nearby spring . While the effects of the
water has not yet been overcome,
the men hope to be able to conquer
ths flow, after which concrete will
be applied to the bottom and by thia
mesas It is thought the water will be
forced to change its course. The
contract has been let to a firm in
Y«h, Pa., who will make the installation when everything   is ia readi-

Mast of Session Spent on Details
Concerning   Sewer
The borough council met in regular   session,   Monday   night in the
municipal building,    with President
R. H. Colobine presiding.
Most of the evening was devoted
to business connected with the progress of the sswer project. Mr.

report of what had been accomplished to date. According to his figure
approximately 16,000 feet of pipe
has been laid out of a total of a-
round 60,060 feet. At the disposal
plant, all the excavating has been
finished and part of the concreting
completed. He stated that two
gangs would be put to work on each
| side of town, in order thst the work
would be done on sn impartial basis,
pad not favor one side of town.
In connection with his report Mr.
Murray also gave an account of the
number of tools that have disappeared from the job during the time
that wOrk was suspended. The list
includes more thsn 60 shovels, half
at; dozen picks, a number of jacks,
lanterans and other small tools.

persons to the full extent of the law.
A report was made on the final
arrangement for the fire alarm.
jThis will be handled in the future

ARMISTICE  DAY
Eighteen yeara ago at 11 o'clock
the armistice in the great World War
was proclaimed and all hostilities
ceased and thousands of lives of the
combatants were thus saved. It was
the most dreadful outrage inflicted
upon humanity for centuries and Involved slmost tile entire world.
Yesterday la hundreds of towns and
cities throughout the nation the day
was appropriately observed. Locally
there was no demonstration.
RETIRED MEN'S MEETING
The regular monthly meeting of
ths Pennsylvania Railroad Retired
Veterans' association will meet in
the Y. M. C. A. on Saturday,. Nov.
14, at* 2:80 o'clock p. m. This
meeting will be one of considerable

HOMEMAKERS EXCHANGE
Great laterest ia being evinced by
local housewives in the ''Homemakers
Exchange," a radio feature conducted by Eleanor Howe, noted home
economist. The program, sponsered
by the Ice Dealers ef America, le on
the air every Tuesday and Thursday
morning at 11:46 A. M.
Home problems are discussed,and
many useful hints to ths laiistj
be    obtained    from   this
which   should be helpful   te
housewife.
Some olcvusfon waa held on plans
for an ordinance to regulate the
sewerage system aat* another meeting will probably be called in a few
days, when Mr. Towney of the
Morris Knowles Company arrives in
town, to work out suitable plana to
govern the use of the sewer.
B. H. S. TEAM ELIMINATED
With the cancellation of the foot
ball game to be played between the
Bellwood High School team and the
Lilly eleven on Armistice Day, the
foot' ball season for the locals automatically closed with the game laat
Saturday between Philipsburg and
Bellwood. > Injuries received by Bellwood players . in the Philipsburg
game left Coach Bland with barely
enough players available to .fill his
lineup . None of the hurts are serious, however. Faculty Manager
Hetrick conferred with Lilly the beginning of the week and agreed to
forfeit the conference game. Lilly
will play at Claysburg on Saturday.
The local team has been handicapped throughout the season, due
to the weight of the players and lack
of sufficient players to fill in during
emergencies. In thia respect it is
thought advisible by some of the
sports that Bellwood and Antis
Township Hi should combine during
another season and thus put up a
formidable outfit, one that would be
able to go against most any rival in
the school lineup and win. Such a
lineup would cement closer relationship between the two districts and a
stronger team would result, with
plenty of material in case of injury
to any players during a contest. The
suggestion should be given careful
consideration before another season
arrives.
SHOWS  ELECTION RETURNS
This isue contains a complete summary of results of the November 3
general election, rushed to us following a national compilation of statistics.
This tabulation is especially
timely, since it provides the grana
climax to America's straw poll
mania, to the claims and counter
claims ' that were hurled back and
forth during the campaign, and to
the endless conjecture regarding
Republican strength in California,
far instance, against Democratic
strength in Massachusetts.
It is the final answer.. .the' real
poll to ond all polls! We suggest
that yea safes It fer later referaace.

SERIES OF MEETINGS
A discussion of some fundamentals of the word of God. Do you
know them?    Do you beleive them?
The Olivet Baptist church will cooperate with the other local churches
in conducting services during the
week beginning Nov. 16. Let it be
understood that thie is not in cooperation with the plan and program
of the Federal Council of Churches
or any such organization, some of
whose leaders have denied the fundamentals of tile Scriptures and with
their communistic sympathy and
modernistic teaching have led many
astray and confused many Christian
people as to the way of salvation
and the fundamentals concerning
the church ef Jesus Christ.
The aim of these meetings is to
help those in doubt as to the way
to be saved and to lead Christians
into an understanding of the Scriptures for assurance and service.
The only source of truth for eternal
issues is the Word of God. Let us
meet and reason together as to
"What saith the Lord."
Opportunity will be given for
questions to be submitted and answered according to the Scriptures
that these meetings may be most
helpful to all.
The following is a list of topics
subject to change:
Sunday Nov. 16—-Morning: "The
Verbal Inspiration of the Scriptures."
Monday Nov. 16—-The Personality and Work of the Holy Spirit."
Tuesday Nov. 17—."The Personality and Work of the Devil.*'
Wednesday Nov. 18—"The sin
of Adam and Its Consequences."
Thursday Nov. 19-—''God's Provision for Salvation by Faith in the
Finished Work of Christ."
Friday Nov. 80 — "The True
Church."
Sunday Nov.  21—Morning, "The
Ordinances of the Church."
Evening: "The Work and Mesage of
the Church."
Bring your Bible and follow the
subjects as they are presented.
There is much confusion today due
to open denial on one hand and delusive snd fanatical teachings on
the other. The public is cordially
invited te all
