NUMBER 13
BIRTHDAY PARTY
FOR J.
A. ELLIOTT
BUS COLLISION KILL SEVENTEEN; INJURES FIFTEEN
About  Seventy-five  Men  Honor  Citi¬ zen with Supper in Parish IIouHe.
Monday being the 74th birthday of Judson A. Klliott. aoout seventy-five men of the town celebrated the event ¦ ¦with a supper in the Parish House. A delightful meal was served by the committoo, and after the men had fin¬ ished F. W. Simmons told the men that they had gathered to honor an honor¬ able man, and introduced a life-long fiiond of his, Harry B. Taylor.
Mr. Taylor told of Mr. Elliott's life in Mansfield, of his great service to the community to which he has been so loyal. He mentioned his connection with the Mansfield Hook and Ladder Company, of his work as secretary of the Board of Trustees of Mansfield Noi-inal, of his career as postmaster, the many years he spent as secretary of the Mansfield Fair, and what he has done for the town as superinten¬ dent of Mansfield Water Company. He told of Mr. Elliott's enthusiastic in¬ terest in good roads, and in every¬ thing else that has meant the better¬ ment of the community. At the con¬ clusion of his talk, he presented Mr. Elliott with a fine radio, the gift of the men present.
Mr. Elliott responded with a few well chosen words, and finished his remarks by reading a short verse on eervice.
Mr. Simmons stated that an outside admirer of Mr. Elliott, who did not wish to reveal his identity, had sent in a poem, a parody of Kipling's Gun- ga Din, which he asked Mr. Vosburg to read. This produced considerable laughter from all present, and was clever.
Fred M. Allen was next called upon and recited the following poem which he had wn-itten for the occasion:
Has any young fellow got mixed with
this bunch? If so, let me hand him this bit of a
hunch— That we are old    gray-beaj-ds     who
came out tonight To honor our townsman, and do it up
right. \1\ name a few gray-beards and fel¬ lows in sin So you may get wise to the crowd you
are in, And while they may argue that they
are  still  young. Why just set  it down to  slip  of the
tongue:
There's Principal Straughn, always great at a feed,
And Vosburcr, the hustler, look out for his speed.
And Edwin, our Mayor, who golf loves to  play.
And Percy, the Druggist, who whis¬ tles all day.
And Post Master Comwell, the keep¬ er of bees.
And Jeweler Palmer, who tries hard to please.
And Taylor, the plumber, whom every¬ one knows,
'And Shepard, the clothier, who sells us our clothes.
And Peterson, merchant, with Wade sitting  near.
And Belknap, the preacher, whom all devils   fear.
And a lot of us chaps who think it but fair
That in the proceedings we all have a  share.
I  first  met  this  friend  in  the  year
sixty-eight. And have watched tdl his curves since
that far-away date. He has made this old town his per¬ manent home. And   never   attempted  beyond   it  to
roam. He is  seventy-four, this man  whom
we hail, And thus far has managed to keep
out of jail. So drink to our friend who wins the
renown Of sixty long years in our little old
town.
Responding to cries for more, Mr. Allen told in verse the story of the Irishman eating his first oysters, which brought down the house, as it were.
Following this tables were arranged for cards and the men jpent an enjoy¬ able evening.
Blinded by snow and sleet, Edward Butler, of Cleveland, driver of a (Jrayhound bus, hound for Pittsburgh, drove his huge conveyance into an in- terurban electric car near Bellevue, Ohio, with the result that seventeen of his passengers were killed and fif¬ teen injured.
Although Butler got out of the bus and wiped the snow and sleet from the windshield before attempting the crossing, and looked carefully for approaching traffic, his bus hit the train before passengo'-s or drivers of cither knew what had happened.
H.  S.   BEATS   WESTFIELU
P. O. S. OF A. GET-TOGETHER
MEETING AT M.UNESBURG
The high school boys brought home the victory from Westfield last Fri¬ day night. For the first time in seven years, Mansfield played in Westfield, and to show how thi'.v felt aliout not playing in the neighboring town for 80 long a time, they proceeded to win the game. The Westfield team put up a sturdy resistance all the way, but the college-town boys refused to be stopped.
Our high scoring guard, "Teddy" | Besanccncy, dropped in two fine bas- j kets and a foul, much to the surprise of him.sclf and the iron man he shook hands with. Hendricks held Gushing, the high scorer on the Westfield team, to one field goal and a foul, while he dropped in a basket himself.
Thursday evening at eight o'clock, Westfield will come to Mansfield and attempt to avenge their defeat. Fri¬ day night the locals will go to Can¬ ton, where they will attempt to dim the big Canton team's hopes of win¬ ning the cup.

The Get-Together Association of the Tioga County Patriotic Order Sons of America held its regular meet¬ ing at Mainesburg last Thursday eve¬ ning, in the P. O. S. of A.  Hall.

The  speaker of the    evening    was John Gilbert Zicgler, of Lebanon, Pa., State     Vice  President   of  the   Order. His   .subject   was   "The   Buildine   of Democracy."    He    gave    a    splendid patriotic address, stressing the  point that   this order   should   bo affiliated i with    every   uplifting   society  in  the community.   This  organization would | he a power in  Mainesburg and vicin- | ity, if the members would only get to ! work with a will.    Go for new mem- I bers with the determination that you will succeed, and you sure will.   Make your   camp   a   live   organization,  and you will have no trouble in enlarging your   membership.     Mr.   Ziegler  was very earnest in his wishes that    pa- | ti iotism in Tioga county would speed i up   this   winter,   and   that   the   mem¬ bership in the Tioga County Sons of i America Camps would double by May first.

FRIENDSHIP  CLASS  MEETING
"WHOOPEE" MINSTREI^
THIS FRIDAY NIGHT
We witnessed a rehearsal the other evening and we want to say that the Legion boys are up-to-date not only with the name for their show, but with everything that goes to make up the production; jokes included. Brand new costumes have been purchased outright, special stage settings have been built at considerable expense, and unique lighting effects have been devised. It's a real show from start to finish.
The "Whoop-ee" opening by the en¬ tire company is the curtain raiser and in this setting come some very fine vocal numbers from the double male quartette. Following this act are sev. eral specialty numbers, including "Novelty Dances," by Maxine Ballard, of New Castle; Sammie Morse in "Skits and Skats," and "Obie, the Magician," in "Fifteen Minutes of Magic." This concludes the first sec¬ tion.
The second or minstrel section is a riot of melody and fun, with several fine solo numbers from individual members of the double quartette in¬ terspersed with comedy numbers and jokes galore from the six end men. This is a minstrel show with all the trimmings and you sure don't want to miss it. Reserved seats are being sold pt Coleji PhanT>aoy,

In the neighborhood of five or six citizens of this county, it is said, have had a vision, or dream, or a ringing in the ears, which they have mistook for a "call" to become sheriff of Tio¬ ga county. They are all "good men and true," but can't all be sheriff, at least this year.
Among those who, we understand have been stung by the sheriff-bug are E. A. Young, Walter Keagle, By¬ ron Churchill. Ernest Davis, Ray Benjamin, et al. May the best man win.

I H. C. Carpenter, of Troy, or Hal, as he is so generally known, was re¬ cently elected County Chairman of ' the Republican Commitee of Bradford ; County. This is not only a deserved J honor for Mr. Carpenter, but a for¬ tunate move for the Republicans of the county as he is a man well qualified in every respect for the position. An outstanding figure in Bradford county and state politics for many years, he has worked hard for the success of the party and has made a host of friends while doing it. Mr. Carpenter is a great student of Abraham Lin¬ coln, so it will be seen that he mixes just the right amount of statesman¬ ship into his politics to make him a county chairman worth having.
I for the present.
Mr. Wolfrom is well known in Mansfield and was employed at the Advpi'ti.'or office several years ago. Ho has many friends in Mansfield and vicinity who extend  congratulations.
