Iniportant information eonceming the method of enrolling non-register¬ ed and first voter.^ in boroughs and townships is cDutalned in a commun¬ ication to Uopublican County Chair¬ men from General Edward Martin, Chairman of the Republican State Committee. General Martin points out that the omi.=sion of the name of an other¬ wise qualified elector from the reg¬ istry list does not prevent that person from voting in the November elec¬ tion. His letter to the County Chair¬ men follows: "In the first, .second and third class cities of the State an elector cannot vote unless his name is on the registiy li.«t. This is not the condi¬ tion of the boroughs and townships. "The omisison of the name of an otherwise qualified elector from the registry list does not prevent that persons from voting in the November election in the boroughs and town¬ ships. "Any non-registered elector in the boroughs and townships with these qualifications can vote: "Twenty-one years old; citizen of the United States one month; resided in the State one year, or having pre¬ viously been a qualified elector or native born citizen of the State, he or she .'-hall have removed therefrom and returned six months immediately pre¬ ceding the election; resident of the election di.strict at least two months preceding the election; if twenty-two years old or over, shall have paid a State or county tax, assesed at least two months and paid one month be¬ fore election. "On election day. a non-rcgi.«tered voter must have one resident vouch for his residence in the district, and must make affidavit showing he or she has the qualification of an elector outline above. If the tax receipt is lo.^t or destroyed, proper affidavit of this fact can be made. If the non- registered voter is a, naluralizod citizen, the certificate of. naturaliza¬ tion must be sho\vii the Board. A county tax paid' anywhere in Pennisyl,- -•"nia witVfci two years of NovomBer C,, 1928, is Valid. "Tho'tisands of young men and women will be eligible to vote in No¬ vember for ihe fir.st time. If they are under twenty-two years of age a tax receipt will not be required. Where their names are not on the registry lists in boroughs or town- .ships, they can be qualified by mak¬ ing the necessary affidavit before the election board. In the case of the for- eig:n born, naturalization papers must be produced, or proof shown that he or she is entitled to citizenship by reason of the parent's naturalization. The qualification as to residence is the State and district must be com¬ plied with."

(By Wendell Davis) Mansfield State College's husky footb-.'.U squad is going to Smythe Park Saturday with blood in its eye. Still smarting from the crushing 19 to 12 defeat administered by the New York State Normal la.><t season, the Red and Blacks are primed to make amends for the tilt of last year. It will be the fourth game of a standing rivalry. It will be the fourth bitter battle between football teams of the two domicles of learning, for regardless of the manner in which the rival team performs in other games, the Mansfield-Oswego tussle is an¬ nually one of the season's bruising cla.ssics. Saturday's game should be one of the most thrilling of all time. De¬ spite the fact that Coach Russell's warriors will face a strong, well-bal¬ anced squad of veterans, the war¬ riors will give the visitors the most formidable kind of opposition.

Leaving Mansfield in the rain they arrived at Wellsboro in the sun¬ shine and they played during alter¬ nate rain and .sunshine all afternoon. None of the players turned in what they called their best .scores. The honors for the lowest score of all who played went to Dr. Straughn with an 84.

VOSBURG .APPOINTED DISTRICT DEPUTY OF MASONS The annual meeting of the Com¬ munity Welfare Organization was held Tueseday, October !). Committee chairmen reported on their work for the year, and the general activities of the organization were discussed.

The constitu¬ tion provides that this sum 'jsJi divided into three equal parts; one-lhird go. ing to the Blossburg Hospital, one- third to the Children's Homes at Os- j ceola and Harrison Valley, and one- ' third to the community. A subscrip¬ tion designated specially for the hos¬ pital made their share a little larger $46.49 went to each Orphanage; $92.1)8 to the community, and $108.28 to the hospital. The number of families helped sub¬ stantially and according to their needs was seven. The amount of money spent for relief work was col¬ lected and distributed at holiday time. Forty-three cans of fruits and vegetables and fifteen glasses of jelly were collected and divided among the orphanages, the hospital and the com¬ munity. At this meeting the following of¬ ficers were elected, and committees appointed; President, Miss Maryon Farrer. Vice President, Ed. Cornish. Secretary, Mrs. H. G. Peterson. Vice Secretary, Mrs. P. A.

INSTITUTE AT TIOGA FRIDAY, NOV. 2 (Taken from West Chester Pvper of October 2, 1928.) At the State Teachers Collrge, to¬ morrow morning, a bronze table, giv¬ en by Mrs. Andrew Thomas Smith, in memory of her husband will l)e pre¬ sented to the school before the assem¬ bled faculty and student body. Dr. Klonower, of the State Depart¬ ment of Education, will make the pre¬ sentation in behalf of Mrs. Smith and it will be accepted by Col. A. M. Hold¬ ing, Esq., president of the Board of Trustees. This date for the presentation was cho.sen because it will be the anniver¬ sary of the last time that Dr. Smith appeared at the college assembly and conducted the daily devotions. "He seemed particularly well and happy that morning," said Mrs. Smith in recalling the incident of a year ago. "His vacation had been a re.stful one and there seemed no sug¬ gestion of impending illness. It was on the following day that he was taken sick." The exercises are to be of a very simple and apppropriate nature. Dr. Norman W. Cameron, Principal of the College, presides, and the de¬ votional exercises are to be conducted by Dr. Charles R. Williamson, Dr. Sniith'.s partor for many year.s. Dr. Klonnower, in pre.senting the table, will be followed by Dr. Charles H. Gordonier, Principal of the State Teachers College at Millersville, who had been associated with Dr. Smith as head of a sister Normal School during many years of education ser¬ vice. Miss Gertrude K. Schmidt will sing and an appropriate selection, sung by the school, will be directed by Prof. C. E. Hausknecht. The Tablet The tablet is of bronze, thirty by twenty-four inches in size, chaste and dignified in design. It is surmounted by a simple border in bas-relief, and at either side of the inscviption a graceful torch suggests the lump of wisdom kept burning brightly. The wording is: Andi-ew Thomas Smith 18ip.l9£8 y^ ' M'tst I'/fTWi- cilaie AvTT/rfU Sclwol 1920-1927 West Chester State Teachers College 1927 He Wrought in Widom and He Ruled in Loi|e It has not yet been decided where the tablet will be permanently placed, but for some days, it vidll le on ex¬ hibition near Dr Smith's pcrtrait in the hallway on the second fUor of the Philips Memorial Building. A coin¬ cidence is the fact that Dr. Smith su¬ perintended the hanging of -his por¬ trait and that of Dr. Philip? on the same day, a year ago tomorrow. HOOVER RALLY MONDAY NIGHT WELL ATTENDED METHODIST CHURCH SCHOOL BUILDING DEDICATED ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18 The new Methodist church school building will be dedicated Sunday, November 18. The necessity of com¬ pleting several small items ahout the building, and the need of more time for the preparation of a pageant, has cau-sed the dedication date to be changed from November 11 to Novem¬ ber 18. Some outside speaker of note, to be announced later, will pieach in the morning, and an augmentid choir will sing the "Hallelujah chorus from "Elijah." At night, the Reverend Dr. Eli Pittman, of Elmira, District Superintendent, will speak and dedi- cate the new building. Tuesday and Wedneseday nights, November 20 and 21, a pageant of religious education, "Tho Lamp," by Anita B. Ferris, will bo presented under the direction of Mi.ss Bertha Roff and Miss Laura Wheeler. Thursday night, Novem¬ ber 22, a "Methodist Family" supper and program will be given. More de¬ tailed announcement of the dedication week program will be given later. A well attended Hoover rally was held in the Senior High School audi¬ torium Monday evening. Hon. Frank H. Marvin was chairman of the meeting and introduced the speakers, County Chairman, Mason Owlett, and Thomas Crichton, who gave short talks. The Hoover quartet, of Wells¬ boro, compo.sed of John Phillips. Ce¬ cil Roberts, Harry Padgett and Wal¬ lace McClintock, sang .several selec¬ tions, which were well received. Mrs. Katherine McClintock, of Wellsboro, lead the singing of campaign songs. The high school band played' a short concert on the public .square before the meeting and later played some very nice .selections during the meet¬ ing. The speaker of the evening was Hon. Frederic A. Godcharles, of Mil¬ ton, State Librarian and historian of considerable prominence. Mr. God¬ charles stated that he was very hap¬ pily situated in coming to Manfiseld, in Tioga county, where he was so closely associated in public life with many of our prominent citirens. He gave a very interesting history of the Republican party and its achieve¬ ments, and contrasting the calm and sane utterances of Mr. Hoover, in the campaign, with the hysterical, bom¬ bastic utterances of his oponent. He mentioned a man who would naturally be supposed to be allied with Govern¬ or Smith, and a man of known fond¬ ness for beer, who, when asked if he was interested in having a glass of beer, said he would prefer to have a good job rather than a good jag. His utterances were particularly free from mud-slinging and the audience gave their approval and appreciation of the utterances of the speaker by their at¬ tention, frequently interspersed with applause. The meeting was closed by the singing of America. Several per¬ sons from out of town were in at¬ tendance. MANSFIELD WEEK BY WEEK ( By R. E. Marks) CRIPPLED CHILDREN'S CLINIC POSTPONED TO NOVEMBER 22 Noveniber 22, instead of October 31, will be the date of the Crippled Children Clinic in Wellsboro, ac¬ cording to information received by J. H. Williams, president of the County Crippled Children'^ Assoria tion. Mr. Williams states that Dr. Tom Outland. of Sayre, has consented to preside at the clinic. It is important that this date be not neglected, for the opportunity is one to be seized without fail. Dr. Outland's work is recognized as among the best in the State, and every possible benefit is to be turned to the clinic November 22. .Some confliction in the schedule of the State Welfare Society made the change necessary. Make this clinic the most effective yet. There is lots of work to be done and Tioga county ought to lead. Don't forget—November 22, at the Borough building, Wellsboro. The business and professional women will have charge of refreshments.

(From Wellsboro Gazette) An attendance of 600 watched State M.'.ster E. B. Dorsett and his corps of officers confere the Grange degree? on 204 candidates from Tioga and adjoining counties at the Bache Auditorium Friday night. The only feature extraneous to the actual de¬ gree ritual appeared in an address by Prof. Stern, of State College, pertaining to the State College Bond Issue. Among the out-of-town members pre.sent were the following officers: E. B. Dorsett. Master, of Mansfield; J. A. Roak, New Castle, Overseer; J. B. W. Stufft, Ralphton, Steward; Rev. Charles I. Steffey, East Spring¬ field, Lecturer; Mrs. George G. Gault, Harmonsburg, Pomona; Mrs. A. H. Pullerton, Edinhury, of the Execu¬ tive Committee. County Form Agents Walter Learn, of Sullivan county, and William Ross, of McKean county, were preisent with firroups from their counties. What this town needs are social .secretaries, or one good secretar>' for the whole town—to save us from ut¬ ter insanity as a result of a constant thumbing of calendars, racking of brains, and wearing out of telephones, just to find out if this is the day we are suppo.sed to bring golf club.'^, or an extra bridge deck and table, or a speech. Speaking of clubs and organiza- tion.s—New York City has nothing on us. Being too bashful to take a notebook and pencil and to do some actual inquiring, we've counted off hand very near forty of these affairs that we know of. Heaven knows how many there are we don't know of. They're all going strong, too. And only once in a while does a treasury leak. They range in everything from the D. A. R.s, and Masons, to exclus¬ ive two-table bridge and Bachelor clubs. We have so many Literary clubs that we dare not mention any subject without a previous fevered hunt for information from a sur¬ prised encyclopedia or the New York Times. If we don't, we are certain to air our ignorance before someone who like as not has recently "prepared a paper on that very subject". And to any masculine or feminine Sinclair Lewis, whose knowledge of women's literary clubs found in small towns, is based on page 123, chapter XI of "Main Street," let it be known that we do not study "all the poets of En¬ gland" in one afternoon. To put it in a clearer language (for their benefit) "We know our onions." Yes, and there is a new one now,—another lit¬ erary, in the first stages of learning to walk. In fp.et, it bas tal:en two or three steps, and they weren't so wabbly at that. At any rate, the re¬ ports were that the papers presented —and the tea served, were excellent. What more could be expected? Practically everyone in this town is a hardened and seasoned traveler,— from acting as a delegate to conven¬ tions. If you arc from here you stand a good chance of bavini,' traveled :^ny- where from Paris, France, to Wells¬ boro, Pennsylvania, rt pre.senting anything from a Sunday School class to the American Legion. The only time we ever protest that the gregarious instinct of our town is too highly devoloped is when tho treasurers call for due.-;. CORTLAND AND MANSFIELD PLAY SCORELSS TIf7 Gilvary and Pish Are Heroes far Mansfield.—Mansfield Outplays Cortland. NEW PATROLMEN GUARD SCHOOL KIDS FROM CXUS (From Wellsboro Gazette) \ Taffic at the Pearl and Wain j streets corner is ordered an each , school day by two patrolmen, sworn in Monday morning, by R. C. Kelts, Secretai-y of the council, as police officers without compensation. The new cops are on duty as all times when school children are passing. Secretary Howard Hughes, of the Tioga County Motor Club has been negotiating for the establishment of the patrol for some time, and it is under auspices of the Motor Club that the new system was devised. Before long it is planned to establish another patrol at the corner of East avenue and Bacon street for the same purpose. The new patrolmen wear a dis¬ tinctive Sam Browne belt of white, and the glistening badge of a Wells¬ boro policeman. Traffic stops when the coppers place a bamboo pole, surmounted with a red and white flag reading "Stop! Schoolboy Mo¬ tor Patrol" across the road. Vested with the power to make arrests, the new policemen will not hesitate to enforce the law. ST. JAMES CHURCH (Episcopal) Rev. R. J. Belt, Pastor Miss Marion Huston, Organist. Mr. Harry A.

Only an heart of iron, a moral courage unshaken by adversity nnd flint-edged by the grinding force of determination, kept the Cortland oval chasers from defeat. In the first half of the tussle hon¬ ors were almost mutual, with the Mansfield oval chasers having the advantage in yardage gained, but in the final two periods the Mansfield fighters swarmed over the Cortland- ers. breaking through their line and circling the ends until the few hun¬ dred noble Mansfield rooters at the game gasped and held their breath wishing for a touchdown. Three times in the final twenty- four minutes the Mansfield .advance lashed themselves against the Cort¬ land fortification, only to be halted, broken and thrown back. Four times on the Cortland twenty yard line desperate Red and Black linemen took the ball away from the Cortland eleven on downs. An alert end, Bucky Burr, tossed one of Cort¬ land's halfbacks for a ten yard loss. Many times were the Cortland idol.'» forced into attempting punt formation when a frontier defense stopped a score and final thru.sts parried by "Horse" Mudge, a star guard for Man.sfield. The might of the Mansfield attack in the game carried them for sixteen first downs, h • means of forward passing, .skillful turning of thef ends, and battering of the line. Cortland registered but tv.-.o first downs. It was in the final moments of the third period that the defense of Cort¬ land reached its greatest heights. Pish, of Mansfield, downed a Cort¬ land punt cm their A^ yard line ixnd ii:-n with the help of Allis, fullback for Mansfield, inauunvated an ad- vanro which carried the Mansfield eleven within feet of the Cortland goal. Pish, one of the brilliant ball car¬ riers in the Mansfield backfield, pried the lid with a snaky, cutting run for ten yards, planting the oval on the ""-yard line. The ball was then given to Web,-;(xr, who rammed his way for six yivrds. The pigskin was thus near the Cortland destination. Within inches of the goal the fates' sfr»med to rule that Mansfield should not score. Allis was given the ball; he drove at tho Cortland forwards who stopped him in his tracks. Tho Mansfield tenm went into a huddle to d?vise a nip.ster offensive stnke. On the next pluy a forward pass was t ied, but it was fatal. It was the Cortland b:;!'. on the 3-yard line. -¦ y Mansfield bucked up their backs and again takes the ball on downs. The drive started when Lloyd threw a forward to Pish, who .snatched it and ran 30 yard.s. The flashy half¬ back then ripped off six yards at tackle, which halted later when Mans¬ field was penalized for holding. Another aerial torpedo, Lloyd to Gilvarj', on which the end made an almost impossible catch, placed the oval on the ten-yard line. In this play Gilvary was injured, carried from the field a hero. Harkness re¬ placed Gilvary. Pish then stirred the Red and Black rooters to frenzy by pasting the Cortland wall for several yards. "We want a touchdown" were the screams that went forth. But the Cortlandites braced, took the ball on downs, thus another game for history. Scoreless. Many heroes stood out for Mans¬ field in the crushing attack which netted sixteen downs throughout the battle. Pish and Gilvary carried the ball like infuriated horses, never once stopping because one man laid hard on them; it took two and three tacklers to bring either of the two to earth. They brought evanescent gleams of .sunshine to Mansfield root¬ ers. On the defense, too much cannot be sid of the line. Scholl and Mudge veteran guards, did valiant work knifing their way through, with the assistance of Captain Obelkevich and \ Simms .snaring the bal Icarrier. Bucky Burr, one of the scintillating stars, at end.is due much credit. His tack¬ ling and dexterous thinking were con¬ ducive in holding down Cortland. The line had the strength and courage of a Sam.son when it was hard pres.sed. Patronize Our Advertisers. WE CAN'T MOVE THE EARTH but if you have any moving or truck¬ ing, call us.

Iniportant information eonceming the method of enrolling non-register¬ ed and first voter.^ in boroughs and townships is cDutalned in a commun¬ ication to Uopublican County Chair¬ men from General Edward Martin, Chairman of the Republican State Committee.
General Martin points out that the omi.=sion of the name of an other¬ wise qualified elector from the reg¬ istry list does not prevent that person from voting in the November elec¬ tion. His letter to the County Chair¬ men follows:
"In the first, .second and third class cities of the State an elector cannot vote unless his name is on the registiy li.«t. This is not the condi¬ tion of the boroughs and townships.
"The omisison of the name of an otherwise qualified elector from the registry list does not prevent that persons from voting in the November election in the boroughs and town¬ ships.
"Any non-registered elector in the boroughs and townships with these qualifications can vote:
"Twenty-one years old; citizen of the United States one month; resided in the State one year, or having pre¬ viously been a qualified elector or native born citizen of the State, he or she .'-hall have removed therefrom and returned six months immediately pre¬ ceding the election; resident of the election di.strict at least two months preceding the election; if twenty-two years old or over, shall have paid a State or county tax, assesed at least two months and paid one month be¬ fore election.
"On election day. a non-rcgi.«tered voter must have one resident vouch for his residence in the district, and must make affidavit showing he or she has the qualification of an elector outline above. If the tax receipt is lo.^t or destroyed, proper affidavit of this fact can be made. If the non- registered voter is a, naluralizod citizen, the certificate of. naturaliza¬ tion must be sho\vii the Board. A county tax paid' anywhere in Pennisyl,- -•"nia witVfci two years of NovomBer C,, 1928, is Valid.
"Tho'tisands of young men and women will be eligible to vote in No¬ vember for ihe fir.st time. If they are under twenty-two years of age a tax receipt will not be required. Where their names are not on the registry lists in boroughs or town- .ships, they can be qualified by mak¬ ing the necessary affidavit before the election board. In the case of the for- eig:n born, naturalization papers must be produced, or proof shown that he or she is entitled to citizenship by reason of the parent's naturalization. The qualification as to residence is the State and district must be com¬ plied with."
