WELLSBORO HIGH WINS FROM MANSFIELD SCHOOL Team Representing County Seat Won in First Period By U-sing For¬ ward Passes. I'ROF. LONGSTREET REC ElVES VISIT FROM FORMER PUPIL (I'rom Higli. ScIioo.Li''Int*,> ,__.,,^ Prof ijongstrfot was very deli(;nt- fully surprised t'i Monday afternoon to receive a caller whom he could not at first recognize. A fter a few sec¬ onds, however, the face began to be¬ come familiar to Prof, and he recog¬ nized his caller to be Max Frey, of Chicago. .Mr. Frey spent a short pe¬ riod of his boyhood in Mansfield and wer.t to school to Prof. Longstreet when the latter was principal of the Model School. Nothing warms the heart of n former teacher more than to have one of his pupils return to him and tell him that the influence e.xerciscd by that instructor has had an effect for good upon a life that has gone out into the world to use itself in seivice. Prof. Longstreet and Mr. Frey spent several haui-s visiting and enjoying each others company. Train Crashes Into Truck; Troy Men Escape Injuries A truck owned and driven by A. B. Wilson, of Troy, was struck by a Penn.sylvania freight train last Wed¬ nesday afternoon at Troy. The front right tire of the truck was cut in two and the fender broken. Mr. Wilson and his companion, H. W. Spencer, were uninjured, due to Mr. Wilson's swinging the truck into reverse. The men had been to Oak Hill cemetery to place a concrete vault and were re¬ turning home, when they decided to return to the cemetery. They had crossed the railroad track nearby, turned around at the foot of the hill and drove up the approach of the railroad crossing, when a truck ap¬ proaching them stopped. As the road is nanow Mr. Wilson thought he stopped for them to pass and drove on th'e track before an on-rushing freight train. The truck was struck, but Mr. Wilson threw the machine in¬ to reverse, backing to safety. , (From High School Notes) Mansfield was defeated by Wells¬ boro High School football team Sat¬ urday, October 13, by a score of 13-0. We ai-e begining to think 13 is an un¬ lucky number for us. Our boys were defeated, but never outplayed. With six boys in the line-up who had never played in a football game before, we met Wellsboro's veteran team and played them to a standstill for three periods. The second period was our Waterloo. Forward passes finally put ever a touchdown. The boys came back in tho second period and continually threatened Wellsboro's goal line but they lacked the punch to push the liall over. Our defense i.-^ fine, but our offense must be .strengthened before we play Troy on Thursday. Every man believes we are going to bring home the bacon and that is the spirit which wins ball games. WOMEN ( .\N BE ARRE.STI'^O NOW (OldTaw I'eriiiinTil^f^AWeJirrlin^^TS?! Payment of Taxes .\merded To Include Women. To combat a report that women cannot be arrested for non-payment of taxes, we print herewith a copy of the act, approved last .M:iy I'y Gov. Pinchot: AN ACT To amend section forty- five of an act, approved the fifteenth day of April, one thousan-l eight hundred and thirty-four (Pamphltt Laws, five hundred and nine), enti¬ tled "An act relating to county rates and levies and township rates and levies," by removing the coemption of females from arrest and imprison¬ ment for nonpayment of taxes. Section 1. Be it enacted, etc.. That section foi'ty-five of an act approved the fifteenth day of April, one thou¬ sand eight hundred and thirty-four (Pamphlet Laws, live hunilred and nine), entitled "An act lolatiiig to county rates and levies and township rates and levies," is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 45. Nothing herein con¬ tained shall authorize the arrest or imprisonment for nonpayment of any tax of any infant or person found by inquisition to be of unsovnid mind. .Appi'oved—The 8th day of May, A.

HKJHWAY INSPECTION UP TO CONSTABLES Must .See Road Laws Are Obeyed, Monroe Court Decrees. A coirespondent says that Monroe county constables have discovered that their inspection work did not end with the passing of the licensed sa¬ loon, but that new inspection duties are required which must be given more attention than the perfunctory manner in which they used to report "all's well" concerning the conduct of the licensed hotel in the old days. The constables now are expected to see that the state road law.-; are enforced. Judge Samuel E. Shull has stressed the fact to the constables that they are expected to see that motor law violations are curbed and that other laws relating to state highways are enforced. In a rather long harangue the judge admonished the peace of- cers on what they are expected to do about the highways. He ordered them to enforce the speed laws and stop excessive speed-^ ing along improved highways in Mon¬ roe county. They must see that the weeds are cut at dangerous points along the roads where the growth is liable to obscure th(' visionA>f dri- Hard Surface Roads Most of Them Concrete Highways, iMark Alluring Tr'p from Washington Into Buf¬ falo.

She was about seventy years old and for many years had made her home with her brother, E. H. Blackwell. A short prayer service will be said at the house in Mansfield Thursday, aft¬ er which the body will be taken to Troy, where the funeral will be held. Besides her brother, E. II. Blackwell, she is survived by another brother, Clayton Blackwell, of Florida. Miss .\gnes Irene Allardice, read¬ er, a member of the Noimal faculty, will give a recital in Alumni Hall, next Friday evening, October 19th, at 8 o'clock. The following weel- chosen program will be given: Hullo Samuel Walter Foss The Boy Eugene Field Pauline Pavlovna ...Thomas Aldrich The Neighbors Zona Gale Dot Long Handled Dipper Charles Folleii Adams The Good Old Irish Names John Ludlow Carlotta Mia Thoma.s A. Daly Big Wrestling Match A wrestling match will be held in Grange Hall next Friday evening, Oc¬ tober 19th, between Farmer Ed. Smith, of Mansfield, weight 15o, and Ned Bevan, of Utica, N. Y., weight 140; catch weights, best two out of three pin falls. Ed. Smith has de¬ feated some of the best men in the state; Bevan is undefeated in New York and Pennsylvania. There will also be good preliminaries. The main bout will start at 9 o'clock. The Department of Highways has announced that it has started mailing to automobile license holders, appli- c.'itions for Certificate of Title. Un¬ der tile new law, each owner of a mo- toi' vehicle in Pennsylvania must hereafter have for that vehicle a title somewhat similar to a real estate title. Each registered automobile owner is receiving with the application for Certificate of Title a letter of in¬ struction and a copy of the Title Act. Benjamin G. Eynon, the Registrar of Motor Vehicles, ui-ges all car owners to apply for a Certificate of Title and 1924 license tags at the same time, on the title form they are receiving from the Department. This can be done by merely adding- tho amount of the license fee, which is the same as they paid in 1923, to the ^'2 charge for the Certificate of Title and signing in the spaces indicated on the form. The space for signature, when the license tags are desired, is the first blank line on the reverse side of the application. By making application now for 1924 licenses, owners will insure the delivery of their license tags in ample time for use on January 1, 1924, otherwise they will be obliged to await receipt of 1924 application blank from the Automobile Division, inasmuch as these blanks will not be handled by Notarys, Public Aldermen, Justices of the Peace or others. The applica¬ tion for license tags will not be sworn to. but the application foi- a Certificate of Title must be sworn to. All owners of cars will receive the official application form for registra¬ tion of title pror to October 15, 1923. The .A.utomobile Division announces that Notarys Public and others who have been handling applications ofr licenses should discontinue the use of all present application forms because they will not be proper for 1924 li¬ censes. Years ago Chauncey M« wcpaw, rr plying to a rich young client who-had outlined to him an European tour, rv- maiked. "Young man, see Americi first." Mr. Depcw further told him that while Europe had magnificent .scenery, that of the United States surpassed it in both grandeur and beauty. Of all scenic routes in the United States, especially of all those in the Eastern Portion, it can be truly said that the Susquehanna Trail is not surpassed in variety of scene, in beauty of prospect and In historical interest by any route th^lt may be suggested to the tourist.' ^ Whether the starting point be Washington or Philadelphia depends on special interest. If it be Philadel¬ phia, the trail leads throkgh the rich¬ est fanning country in all Pennsyl¬ vania. If it he Washinirton, it soon strikes the foothills of the Alleghen- ies, skirting them with entrancing views of distant valleys tantil it meets the Philadelphia route at Harrisburg. Thence on through Sunbury, Wil¬ liamsport, Mansfield and Tioga to Painted Post there is a constant pan¬ orama of bold and rugged mountains, deep and inviting valleys, with views of streams and lakes as catch and hold the artist's eye. | In southern New Ytrk, the land- sr- '¦-> more frequently brok¬ en by lakes, but as western New York is entered there is again a succession of ridges and ranges, jsach offering special scenic attractiofts, until Buf¬ falo is reached.

The death list in the motor bus- Pennsylvania Railroad accident at Hepburnville, near Williamsport, last week Thursday morning was increased to seven 'f^uisday night when Amos F. Wright. 40. s<iri of Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Wright, of Elmira, died in the Williamsport hospital. , Mr. Wright, who was riding in the motor bus, was badly injured in the head, and he was not expected to re¬ cover because the left side of his face was torn away. The accident occurred when Penn¬ sylvania train No. 8043 of the El¬ mira division crashed into the IJloss- burg-Williamsport motor bus at Hep¬ burnville, about 12 miles from Wil¬ liamsport. Ten persons were riding in the bus at the time of the accident. One woman was killed instantly, a man and a woman <lied at the scene, a fourth died on the way to the Wil¬ liamsport Hospital, and three others died after reaching the hospital. The dead: George Ault, 65, of South Williamsport; Sarah Hall, 65, of Wil¬ liamsport; Mrs. W. C. Anderson, 43, of Williamsport; Harry C. Schiek, 41, of Williamsport; G. H. Ritter, 58, of Liberty; Allen L. Waltz, 56, of Wil¬ liamsport, driver of the bus. who died at the hospital and Amos W. Wright. The injured: Charles Pindjak, 40, of Phoenixville; Andrew Ranuk, 33, of near Wellsboro and Thomas Taf- ford, 40, of Williamsport. The in¬ jured men are expected to recover. Pindjak has a badly injured leg; Ranak suffered injuries about the head, while Tafford escap<'<l with minor injuries, but was taken to the Williamsport Private Hospit:.!. Every passenger of the bus was hurt in the accident. It was later established that Mrs. Anderson was instantly killed, while Mrs. Hall and Mr. Ault died on the scene. Mr. Ritter died on his way to the hospital and tJ||fe^maining three died after their ^^^H|^X)i'^ 'nan suffet^Bthe sever^^^^^^^^^lct"^ ?^ All were injured'i-hou the head. Alvin Russell, of Williamsport, was the anly eye witness to the acci¬ dent. He got on the bus at Williams¬ port and alighted a short distance from the tracks. He told of seeing the bus drive on the tracks and being struck in the middle by the train which was progressing about 20 miles an hour. The train stopped about 500 feet north of the crossing, carry¬ ing the bodies believed to be those of Mrs. Anderson and Mr. Ault on the pilot of the engine. The tracks for over a dist.-ince of 500 feet were strewn with bits of the bus, clothing of the passengers and other- personal effects. Fred M. Irwin, enginei r of tbo train which struck the bus, in his stall ment to railroad officials said that he blew his whistle about a quar¬ ter of a mile south of the crossing, and that he also blew for the station which is a station stop. He .•stated that Fireman F. P. Levindofski rang the bell. The proper signals for trie crossing were given, according to the statement of the engineer. The standard approach signals are loca- Led 300 feet from the crossing, while the "stop-look-listen" sign is located near the crossing. HAPPY FAMILY (FATHERING AT HOME OF WILL LEVEY (Rutland Correspondent) There was a very happy family gathering at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Levey on Sunday, Oc¬ tober 14, 192.'). The occasion was the celebration of Mr. Levey's sixty- ninth birthday, and was a complete surprise to him. His wife had care¬ fully planned the affair, and not un¬ til several of the family had arrived, did he idealize it was "his party." A bountiful dinner was served, and ev-. cry one of the children were home to enjoy it. Mr'. Levey received many useful gifts, and not only his imme¬ diate family, but a legion of friends beside, wish for him many happy birthdays. The following were pres- i ent: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Levey and " <Jity, N. Y';'Mr. and Mrs. .'iight-v andja-o children, HI i-'enii ^ :.'.. ^^^^^^ird .Mrs. William Levey, .i •., of (ieneva, N.

Gibbon, famous historian wreie "The character and civilization of any community can be properly judg¬ ed by the class of roads it has." The community which can afford a good road »nd is content to wallow in mud. is, by this standard, not tVi»r oughly civiLzed. This may not be. a^rrieable readitiir to V ¦' tested 'with ba.l flff! .. ,"ir' will judge th'-ii mitjiii.vi:- .¦.> stand¬ ards no more exacting. The s*an who can afford an automobile, a tele¬ phone, a lighting system, a Vrarm house, and good clotht'.<, and who walks, borrows his neighbor's phone,, reads by candles, has a cold koMse and wears rags, is not called civilized by Ills neighbors. A good road i:; necessary for the enjoyment of the advantages modera civilization has to offer as is the ability to read (which was once the accomplishment only of the priest- and the king). The adandoned farm is seldom or never found on a good road. The il¬ literate child does not live beside a good road. People who live on or near good roads get to town, see pic¬ tures, mix with their fellows, eMJoy a rich social life, visit each other, buy and sell quickly and easily, aie in touch with the world. Those who live on bad roads cannot even depend upon the R. F. D. if rain er snow lays its prohibition upon the carrier. This great country is away down the list among tho literate nations; one of the reasons is the difficulty of educating either child or adult -where mud prevents attendance at school. Gibbon's measuring rod may not be comfortable, but the facts seem to show it is accurate. STARKEY SEMINARY CANCELS SATURDAY GAMK Car Washing and Simonizing HAROLD JON-rf, 47tf Main Street Garage.

I'ROF. LONGSTREET REC ElVES VISIT FROM FORMER PUPIL
(I'rom Higli. ScIioo.Li''Int*,> ,__.,,^ Prof ijongstrfot was very deli(;nt- fully surprised t'i Monday afternoon to receive a caller whom he could not at first recognize. A fter a few sec¬ onds, however, the face began to be¬ come familiar to Prof, and he recog¬ nized his caller to be Max Frey, of Chicago. .Mr. Frey spent a short pe¬ riod of his boyhood in Mansfield and wer.t to school to Prof. Longstreet when the latter was principal of the Model School. Nothing warms the heart of n former teacher more than to have one of his pupils return to him and tell him that the influence e.xerciscd by that instructor has had an effect for good upon a life that has gone out into the world to use itself in seivice. Prof. Longstreet and Mr. Frey spent several haui-s visiting and enjoying each others company.
Train Crashes Into Truck;
Troy Men Escape Injuries A truck owned and driven by A. B. Wilson, of Troy, was struck by a Penn.sylvania freight train last Wed¬ nesday afternoon at Troy. The front right tire of the truck was cut in two and the fender broken. Mr. Wilson and his companion, H. W. Spencer, were uninjured, due to Mr. Wilson's swinging the truck into reverse. The men had been to Oak Hill cemetery to place a concrete vault and were re¬ turning home, when they decided to return to the cemetery. They had crossed the railroad track nearby, turned around at the foot of the hill and drove up the approach of the railroad crossing, when a truck ap¬ proaching them stopped. As the road is nanow Mr. Wilson thought he stopped for them to pass and drove on th'e track before an on-rushing freight train. The truck was struck, but Mr. Wilson threw the machine in¬ to reverse, backing to safety.
, (From High School Notes)
Mansfield was defeated by Wells¬ boro High School football team Sat¬ urday, October 13, by a score of 13-0. We ai-e begining to think 13 is an un¬ lucky number for us. Our boys were defeated, but never outplayed. With six boys in the line-up who had never played in a football game before, we met Wellsboro's veteran team and played them to a standstill for three periods. The second period was our Waterloo. Forward passes finally put ever a touchdown. The boys came back in tho second period and continually threatened Wellsboro's goal line but they lacked the punch to push the liall over. Our defense i.-^ fine, but our offense must be .strengthened before we play Troy on Thursday. Every man believes we are going to bring home the bacon and that is the spirit which wins ball games.

Payment of Taxes .\merded
To Include Women.
To combat a report that women cannot be arrested for non-payment of taxes, we print herewith a copy of the act, approved last .M:iy I'y Gov. Pinchot:
AN ACT To amend section forty- five of an act, approved the fifteenth day of April, one thousan-l eight hundred and thirty-four (Pamphltt Laws, five hundred and nine), enti¬ tled "An act relating to county rates and levies and township rates and levies," by removing the coemption of females from arrest and imprison¬ ment for nonpayment of taxes.
Section 1. Be it enacted, etc.. That section foi'ty-five of an act approved the fifteenth day of April, one thou¬ sand eight hundred and thirty-four (Pamphlet Laws, live hunilred and nine), entitled "An act lolatiiig to county rates and levies and township rates and levies," is hereby amended to read as follows:
Section 45. Nothing herein con¬ tained shall authorize the arrest or imprisonment for nonpayment of any tax of any infant or person found by inquisition to be of unsovnid mind.

HKJHWAY INSPECTION
UP TO CONSTABLES
Must .See Road Laws Are Obeyed, Monroe Court Decrees.
A coirespondent says that Monroe county constables have discovered that their inspection work did not end with the passing of the licensed sa¬ loon, but that new inspection duties are required which must be given more attention than the perfunctory manner in which they used to report "all's well" concerning the conduct of the licensed hotel in the old days. The constables now are expected to see that the state road law.-; are enforced.
Judge Samuel E. Shull has stressed the fact to the constables that they are expected to see that motor law violations are curbed and that other laws relating to state highways are enforced. In a rather long harangue the judge admonished the peace of- cers on what they are expected to do about the highways.
He ordered them to enforce the speed laws and stop excessive speed-^ ing along improved highways in Mon¬ roe county. They must see that the weeds are cut at dangerous points along the roads where the growth is liable to obscure th(' visionA>f dri-

The Department of Highways has announced that it has started mailing to automobile license holders, appli- c.'itions for Certificate of Title. Un¬ der tile new law, each owner of a mo- toi' vehicle in Pennsylvania must hereafter have for that vehicle a title somewhat similar to a real estate title.
Each registered automobile owner is receiving with the application for Certificate of Title a letter of in¬ struction and a copy of the Title Act.
Benjamin G. Eynon, the Registrar of Motor Vehicles, ui-ges all car owners to apply for a Certificate of Title and 1924 license tags at the same time, on the title form they are receiving from the Department. This can be done by merely adding- tho amount of the license fee, which is the same as they paid in 1923, to the ^'2 charge for the Certificate of Title and signing in the spaces indicated on the form. The space for signature, when the license tags are desired, is the first blank line on the reverse side of the application. By making application now for 1924 licenses, owners will insure the delivery of their license tags in ample time for use on January 1, 1924, otherwise they will be obliged to await receipt of 1924 application blank from the Automobile Division, inasmuch as these blanks will not be handled by Notarys, Public Aldermen, Justices of the Peace or others. The applica¬ tion for license tags will not be sworn to. but the application foi- a Certificate of Title must be sworn to.
All owners of cars will receive the official application form for registra¬ tion of title pror to October 15, 1923.
The .A.utomobile Division announces that Notarys Public and others who have been handling applications ofr licenses should discontinue the use of all present application forms because they will not be proper for 1924 li¬ censes.
Years ago Chauncey M« wcpaw, rr plying to a rich young client who-had outlined to him an European tour, rv- maiked. "Young man, see Americi first." Mr. Depcw further told him that while Europe had magnificent .scenery, that of the United States surpassed it in both grandeur and beauty. Of all scenic routes in the United States, especially of all those in the Eastern Portion, it can be truly said that the Susquehanna Trail is not surpassed in variety of scene, in beauty of prospect and In historical interest by any route th^lt may be suggested to the tourist.' ^
Whether the starting point be Washington or Philadelphia depends on special interest. If it be Philadel¬ phia, the trail leads throkgh the rich¬ est fanning country in all Pennsyl¬ vania. If it he Washinirton, it soon strikes the foothills of the Alleghen- ies, skirting them with entrancing views of distant valleys tantil it meets the Philadelphia route at Harrisburg. Thence on through Sunbury, Wil¬ liamsport, Mansfield and Tioga to Painted Post there is a constant pan¬ orama of bold and rugged mountains, deep and inviting valleys, with views of streams and lakes as catch and hold the artist's eye. |
In southern New Ytrk, the land- sr- '¦-> more frequently brok¬
en by lakes, but as western New York is entered there is again a succession of ridges and ranges, jsach offering special scenic attractiofts, until Buf¬ falo is reached. Fron^ Washington to Buffalo the touristi travels 430 miles. I
