WILBUR JOHNS WRITES ABOUT FLORIDA STORM SHAUTE HAS BEEN MAKING GOOD THIS SEASON Mansfield friends of Joseph Shaute, ¦who have been following his work with -the Cleveland Americans, have been pleased with the good game he has been putting up. Although a young player he has won a goodly percent¬ age of his games, and he has been flitting very well. His team has been .coming forward quite rapidly the past ¦fevf weeks and for a few days it look¬ ed as if they might nose out the Yan¬ kees and cop the pennant. In the re- «ent series between Cleveland and the Yankees, of which the former won four out of six, Shaute pitched and ¦won his own game, and was put in the .seventh when Levson was batted out «f the box, but he did not let the "Yankees score. Below we print a letter received by Mrs. Mary Johns from her son, Wil¬ bur, at Miami Shores, where he, with his sister, Theresa, was during the hurrican in Florida: Thursday, September 23, 1926. Dear Mother and all: We are pretty well settled back again by this time. Things sure are in a terrible state down here, as yet, though. I will give you a description of the storm, as I recall it. The wind began to blow from the Northeast about twelve o'clock Friday night and at two o'clock I was still in bed, but the house was shaking something aw¬ ful, and the bed I was in was shak¬ ing me pretty nearly out on the floor. I got up and came down stairs and closed the doors and windows. About fifteen minutes later I heard a win¬ dow blow in up stairs. I rushed up there, but there was nothing I could do, the wind waa blowing so hard you could hardly stand up in front of the window, let alone trying to put something over it. I came back down stairs and sat in the front room on the couch and heard the windows fall¬ ing out all over he house. I sure thought my time had come. I sat there until the house shook just like a leaf attached to a tree. I finally de¬ cided to go over to Grandma's house next door, where Mr. Cook lives, be¬ cause I knew that house was better and stronger than this one. I noticed that the wind would let up a little bit every few minutes to get a better start, so I decided 1 would make a dash when one of those spells came, so I did. The wind was going with me and carried me over in fine shape. Just as I left the front porch of Uncle Clifford's house, the porch blew down. This was about 3:00 a. m. I stayed at Mr. Cook's until about 6:30 and the wind died down. There were also a lot of other fellows in there and we went out around Mr. Collins' house and came back about 7:00. We had breakfast that Mrs. Cook's sister had prepared. While we were eat¬ ing the wind changed and began com¬ ing pretty nearly directly south, a little east, and with greater velocity than it previously had. About the time we finished breakfast a -wnndow blew in and the back porch blew d'ovni. The wind was blowing at a terrific ..».•» ', 7«i<«iUfc'Vt.-an.'''u' lAviVn •i>utti^i s^e tin roofing sailing by the house e-'.sily a hundred miles an hour. 1'he wind blew so hard it cracked off iron lamp posts up in Biscayne Park and that is blowing some. It sure was some experience and 1 wouldn't want to give it up, but I nev¬ er want to go through it again. 1 wished many times during the storm that I was home. Ftom 9 o'clock un¬ til 11, the rain came down along with the wind, so hard you couldn't see the street in front of the house. The grape fruit trees and all the others were blown over with about three fourths of the roots sticking up. I got the tractor out, and have been drawing them back in place and covering the roots. Uncle Clifford's barn is a wreck, and his packing house is flat. Theresa and I have been busy and have things in the house pretty well dried out now and the house cleaned pretty well, considering the condition it was in after the storm. After it was all over I came back and looked in a window that had blown in and the house sure looked like a wreck. It wouldn't have looked any worse if it had been roll¬ ed over two or three times in the ocean and then set up on the land to dry. Theresa and I are getting along ; M right and both feeKng fine. With love, WILBUR.

RICHARD STILWELL BECOMES A BENEDICT A double wedding occurred at the home of the brides' parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Roof, at Monroeton, when Miss Nincta Roof became the bride of Richard Stilwell, of Mans¬ field, and Miss Thelma Roof became the bride of Ira Bull, of Kennet Square. The wedding took place Sat¬ urday afternoon at 6 o'clock, the Rev¬ erend Carter, pastor of the Monroe- ton Methodist church performing the ceremonies. The brides are graduates of the Mansfield Noi-mal and made many friends while in school. Mr. Stilwell is one of the popular young men of Mansfield. Mr. and Mrs. Stil¬ well -mil be at home after October 1 in Cleveland, Ohio. The good wishes of a host of Mansfield friends go with the young people to their new homes.

AN OLD RESIDENT RECEPTION FOR STUDENTS HELD AT BAPTIST CHURCH A reception was held at the Haptist church on Tuesday evening in honor of the Baptist teachers anfcstudents of the Mansfield State Norn^ School. About a hundred and fifty responded to the invitation and spent a very en¬ joyable evening in the church parlor. After a few appropriate words of wel¬ come by the pastor. Rev. D. J, Grif- flfths, vocal and instrumental selec¬ tions were g^iven by Miss Dorothy Warren, Miss Colegrove and Mander¬ ville Bartle. Each number was er- thusiastlcally received. 'The reader for the evening was Miss Eleanor Reese, who delighted the company with her humorous selection. Fol¬ lowing this formal progi-am, a number of well chosen games were played. These games occassion^^d individual introductions that soon made friends of strangers and creatc-d an evening of good fellowship. Delicious re¬ freshments were serv-.d'and all agreed in the comment ¦hat the eve¬ ning had been one of >iiuch enjoy¬ ment. Much credit is due tt^e Friendship Class for the arrangement of this splendid reception. Under the wise direction of the president, Miss Edith Lcvnsbery, capable com*nittees were chosen for invitation, ref i-ashment and entertainment, working in co-opera¬ tion with the chairmei,, Mrs. E. L. McMurtry, Mrs. H. E. Cunningham and Mrs. A. T. Belknap. Rev. and Mrs. D. J. Griffiths in¬ vite the Baptist students, and those who have no church preference, to join their Sunday School classes, which meet directly following the morning service Every effort will be made to close at an hour appropriate to the needs of the students. BLOSSBURG AFTER NEW FIRE .VPP\RATUS Defiinite plans are under -way to add to the Blossburg fire flpl ting ap¬ paratus, new and adequate cciuipn^vnt. At a recent meeting of the I borough council a committee was chosen to take charge of the matter |ind per¬ fect the plans. The c sists of Councilmen J. ll. K B. L. Tormey, Fire Ch dings immil Per- it.s F. L. Tri LfiDai ee con- an and J. Ed- GAZELLA TO PLAY IN WORLD'S SERIES tha people nt -•. j., ti .jj a generous manner, feu fiu. „ iunds are needed for the pure; asle . irul in¬ stallation of a new firi alarai. This will be an electric sin- . wh ich with a complete fire alarm .^'sten will be installed. Aso a new motAr driven fire hose truck will be purcwlased and put in service, which will eliable the fire fighters to get to the sarne of the fire in the quickest possiblH time. A re-organization of the voluliteer fire department is also contem)p|lated. The personal soli'-ita'' m f umpaign is said to be progress!:.1? il cely. In the list of New York playei-s eli¬ gible to play in the world's series is the name of Mike Gazella, a Normal graduate who played on both the Nor¬ mal and Mansfield town teams several years ago. He has been playing good ball this year, whenever he haa had an opportunity to get into the game. He has been playing both shortstop and third base, and has acquitted him¬ self well. It is likely that with the retirement of older players from the team "Gazook" will get his opportun¬ ity to play regularly. The New York Daily Mirror has the following con- corning "Gazook" and Dorgan, the regular Yankee third baseman for whom he has substituted: Like the old gray mare, Joe Du- gan ain't what he used to be. But he'll do until someone better comes along, which won't be for sev¬ eral years to come. An injury that kept Joe out of the line-up for several weeks early this season gave his understudy, Mike Gnzella, his first chance to show his stuff. Mike covered third so accept¬ ably that when Joe ]-eturned to the line-up he seemed to have lost con¬ fidence in himself. Joe began turning his head away from fast ground balls. He ran back on them instead of in on them. His uncanny ability to make the most dif¬ ficult throws from any . position seemed to desert him. He batted sensationally until his injury put him out of the game, lead¬ ing the league for the first six weeks of the race. But he has dropped down to .283 since then. That is by no means an average to be sneezed at, for a third baseman. The point is that it was a tough break all around for Joe the day he split a finger. At times the Dugan of old bobs up, and when Joe is playing like his old self there is no better third baseman in the game. But taking his bad days with his good ones, there are several third Backers who now rank with Du¬ gan—perhaps ahead of him. Lester Bell, of the Cards, is one, Freddie Lindstrom, of the Giants, is another. Lester will probably be Joe's rival in the World Series. Joe has played in two =eries. ¦'rthinp hatppcTis to Joe Mike .^ill plav: ;^ ' '-;/' ^^(Sjrft?- ;;^"bStrr t<.-^i>^;^K.^^^^« ing satisfaction in each position. His latest baiting average is .238, but he is a timely hitter. MANSFIELD GRA:NGE MEETING If ROBERT WILSON BU^ S THE McCONNl t GARAGE There was a good attendance at the regular meeting of Mansfield Grange last Satuiday, nnd at the close of the business session tho Lecturer, Mrs. Agnes Odell, presented the following literary program: "What I Would Do if I Were a Man," by Gladys Swab, and "What I Would Do if I Were a Woman," by Malcolm Kingsley, were interesting. Both papers had been carefully pre¬ pared, and ably presented, and much enjoyed by the patrons present. C. B. Sherwood's "Trip by Auto from Mansfield to Poi-tland, Oregon," came next. The first part of this in¬ teresting record and story was read by Lelia Odell. The second and con- cludting part, with resume, will be given at the next meeting of the Grange, October 2. The trip with a party of four, was made in August of last year. The time consumed en- route, including numerous stops, one of five days in Yellowstone Park, was twenty days. "The Sesqui-Centennial, and Notes on the Mansfield Fair," was next on tho program and was of a very inter¬ esting character, E. B. Dorsett and George Paris gave brief talks on Grange exhibits, past, present and future. The first exhib¬ its were made under tents seven years ago. Aurora Grange, of Cher¬ ry Flats, alone has the record of giv¬ ing full and creditable exhibits each and every one of these seven years. There are 38 subordinate Granges in Tioga county, and it would seem the eight booths in the fine Grange build¬ ing should be occupied by Granges every year. The Mansfield Fair is primarily an agricultural fair. It is, as intended by its founders and stock holders, for the education, the use and benefit of the farming commun¬ ity. Since Adam and Eve, our forbears, started housekeeping in Eden until now, working on land, tilling the soil, is the original and basic industry, we may conserve the whole world as that garden in extension, and so the con¬ tinuing heritage and vineyard for all of earth's inhabitants. It is then a great privilege to be a co-worker with the Creator—to improve methods of crop production— tn >w>tt«>r use and . 'i.i"i -I the coal, the oil and miner- J'¦ n Niituro's store'..,iir• . And all WELLSBORO INDEPENDENTS TO OPEN LOCAL SEASON This Team Usually Draws One of the Largest Crowds of Season.—I^oralg Are Shaping up Fine.—Three Com¬ plete Teams Practicing. (By Normal Reporter.) The Wellsboro Independents, a team from the county seat, composed of local players, high school and col¬ lege stars, will open Mansfield Nor¬ mal's football season Friday after¬ noon at Smythe Park. Because of the nearness of the two towns a great deal of interest is always manifested in this game and a representative crowd from all over the county can be look¬ ed for. The locals are shaping up wonder¬ fully. Three complete teams are prac¬ ticing all of the time on the field and all are functioning smoothly. PRESBYTERIANS ENTERTAIN NEW NORMAL STUDENTS On Tuesday evening a reception waa given to the Presbyterian Normal students in the church, which had been tastily decorated with floor lamps, baskets and vases of flowers. The reception committee. Rev. and Mrs. John H. Stanton and Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Bates cordially welcomed back to their church home many old and new students. As the guests entered they were provided with a pencil and paper to write their names and then pin badge on for one of the entertainment fea¬ tures provided by the committee. The entertainment committee. Miss Ruth Jones, Miss Betty Grove, Mrs. John H. Stanton, Mrs. W. W. Shaw and W. A. Bates, presented many new and novel "stunts" for the guests which were most enthusiastically re¬ ceived, and while the 'refreshment pe¬ riod was most acceptable, yet all felt that it came too soon. The ladies of the church and corps of workers sei^ved ice cream, wafers and punch to about 185, who upon de¬ parting were unanimous in stating that they had enjoyed a delightful evening.

Prof John V. Myers and his band. TEXT AND COMMENT By Rev. John H. Stanton "A good conscience and of faith un¬ feigned,"—Timothy 1:5. CONSCIENCE Conscience is one of those factors of human nature which evade accu¬ rate defining. Perhaps the simplest definition would be to say that con¬ science is an inner impulse everyone possesses to choose and follow either the right or wrong. It is everyone's duty to follow his conscience. Yet it is everyone's duty to enlighten his conscience that it may be a sure guide. A cons cience may become warped and bent like the rudder on a ship so that it drives the life in the wrong direction. The frequent test¬ ing of one's conscience in the light of God's laws is the only safe course. Mr. Wallace Fish, who the Adver¬ tiser mentioned last week had been taking a long pleasure trip with friends through New York and the New England States, was a resident of Mansfield 53 years ago, when there were but two brick busine.-.s blocks here—the bank and the Pitts block. There were no buildings from the Ross residence, now occupied by Miss Mattie Rose, to Wellsboro street, except an old wooden bouse back from the street, then used by the orphan school as a dormitory. The postoffice was then in the place where Kelley & Obourn's store is now, and the Advertiser office was up stairs over the postoffice. Mr. Fish does not recognize many land-marks around Mansfield. All he remembers about Smythe Park is that they used to have Sunday school picnics, etc., on the "Island" during the dry sea¬ son. At that time most of the Normal School work was done in what is now the South Hall, although there had just been built a small brick building north of this which was used as a girls' dormitory. Things are consid¬ erably changed in that locality from what there were in 1873. Mr. Fish and party expect to leave this week for their home in Illinoia. Martin Thomsen's Nursery Co.

WILBUR JOHNS WRITES
ABOUT FLORIDA STORM
SHAUTE HAS BEEN
MAKING GOOD THIS SEASON
Mansfield friends of Joseph Shaute, ¦who have been following his work with -the Cleveland Americans, have been pleased with the good game he has been putting up. Although a young player he has won a goodly percent¬ age of his games, and he has been flitting very well. His team has been .coming forward quite rapidly the past ¦fevf weeks and for a few days it look¬ ed as if they might nose out the Yan¬ kees and cop the pennant. In the re- «ent series between Cleveland and the Yankees, of which the former won four out of six, Shaute pitched and ¦won his own game, and was put in the .seventh when Levson was batted out «f the box, but he did not let the "Yankees score.
Below we print a letter received by Mrs. Mary Johns from her son, Wil¬ bur, at Miami Shores, where he, with his sister, Theresa, was during the hurrican in Florida:
Thursday, September 23, 1926. Dear Mother and all:
We are pretty well settled back again by this time. Things sure are in a terrible state down here, as yet, though. I will give you a description of the storm, as I recall it. The wind began to blow from the Northeast about twelve o'clock Friday night and at two o'clock I was still in bed, but the house was shaking something aw¬ ful, and the bed I was in was shak¬ ing me pretty nearly out on the floor. I got up and came down stairs and closed the doors and windows. About fifteen minutes later I heard a win¬ dow blow in up stairs. I rushed up there, but there was nothing I could do, the wind waa blowing so hard you could hardly stand up in front of the window, let alone trying to put something over it. I came back down stairs and sat in the front room on the couch and heard the windows fall¬ ing out all over he house. I sure thought my time had come. I sat there until the house shook just like a leaf attached to a tree. I finally de¬ cided to go over to Grandma's house next door, where Mr. Cook lives, be¬ cause I knew that house was better and stronger than this one. I noticed that the wind would let up a little bit every few minutes to get a better start, so I decided 1 would make a dash when one of those spells came, so I did. The wind was going with me and carried me over in fine shape. Just as I left the front porch of Uncle Clifford's house, the porch blew down. This was about 3:00 a. m. I stayed at Mr. Cook's until about 6:30 and the wind died down. There were also a lot of other fellows in there and we went out around Mr. Collins' house and came back about 7:00. We had breakfast that Mrs. Cook's sister had prepared. While we were eat¬ ing the wind changed and began com¬ ing pretty nearly directly south, a little east, and with greater velocity than it previously had. About the time we finished breakfast a -wnndow blew in and the back porch blew d'ovni. The wind was blowing at a terrific
..».•» ', 7«i<«iUfc'Vt.-an.'''u' lAviVn •i>utti^i s^e tin roofing sailing by the house e-'.sily a hundred miles an hour. 1'he wind blew so hard it cracked off iron lamp posts up in Biscayne Park and that is blowing some.
It sure was some experience and 1 wouldn't want to give it up, but I nev¬ er want to go through it again. 1 wished many times during the storm that I was home. Ftom 9 o'clock un¬ til 11, the rain came down along with the wind, so hard you couldn't see the street in front of the house.
The grape fruit trees and all the others were blown over with about three fourths of the roots sticking up. I got the tractor out, and have been drawing them back in place and covering the roots.
Uncle Clifford's barn is a wreck, and his packing house is flat. Theresa and I have been busy and have things in the house pretty well dried out now and the house cleaned pretty well, considering the condition it was in after the storm. After it was all over I came back and looked in a window that had blown in and the house sure looked like a wreck. It wouldn't have looked any worse if it had been roll¬ ed over two or three times in the ocean and then set up on the land to dry. Theresa and I are getting along ; M right and both feeKng fine. With love,
WILBUR.
