Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth. COMMUNICATED. It is plain to be seen that few residents of Bellefonte read the county papers from the fact that a stranger representing the Home society, of Penna., has, within the past week, been organizing a branch of said society in Bellefonte churches, and many persons evidently consider it a new theme in this community. Should some of our good friends have taken a county paper they might plainly see that such an organi- zation—only under a different name— the Children’s Aid, has been in exist- ence here for ten years. In fact for the past five years the work has been carried on so successfully, in a quiet but modest manner, with but four workers, and in all the years of ardent labor, providing for the welfare of destitute and neglected children, this society has not received $20.00 from the county for their work. Many times has the treasury been so scant that some of the officers were compelled to take the children under their own roof ; boarding them free of cost until a good free home was offered, and after all these years of labor, which in truth it may be called, it seems to us the community does not pay much of a compliment to the good women who have carried on this work in caring for the outcasts, and saving dollars for the taxpayers, that they should allow a stranger to take money, as well as clothing, from the town and appropriate this for out- side work, when the mission is right at vour door and has not been recognized for years. : The women who are engaged in this work do it from the love of humanity only, and throughout twenty-seven counties there is but one paid officer. Whereas, the Home society has eight well paid workers to the writer’s knowledge, there may be more. A short time ago the gen- eral superintendent of this branch came into the county and was asked by a very poor man, who was ill, and utterly unable to provide for his two motherless little ones, if the Home society would receive his children and provide good homes for them. Thereply was: ‘‘Yes, provided you give me $60.00 for the boy and $50.00 for the girl.”” The poor man was crushed, as such a sum was a stranger to him. He then came to the Children’s Aid society and the ladies kindly took his little ones, clothed and boarded them for five months, finally obtaining excellent homes for them, defraying the expenses, save $5.00, which was given as a thank offering by the father. This illustration is only given to cite one of the many cases of which the Aid society is subject to. It is the earnest wish of the ladies, connected with the Aid society, that the Home society shall be zealous in their work and add to their band as many unselfish and christian workers as the Aid society now possesses. May all give a helping hand. Centre Hall. Lyman Smith, wife and baby are off on a few weeks’ visit to Williamsport. Mr. and Mra. W. H.

The party are at present on a wedding tour and will return the be- ginning of next week, when the groom will resume his duties as clerk at Wolf and Craw- ford’s popular store. The Howard creamery company churned its first butter this week at the new cream station. Four wagons gather the whole milk, and after the cream is separated there- from, the skim milk is returned to the farm- ers. Asa consequence of this new system butter advanced two cents, and the man who keeps the cow is glad. The new creamery pays twenty cents for butter fat and the Spring Mills creamery eighteen cents for but- ter, which is elaimed by the latter to be equal to twenty cents for butter fat. It is more than likely that the product of the cow will be more profitable this winter than here- tofore, which will be an incentive to give the much misused animal better care and atten- tion. The average product of the cow in this valley could be doubled with proper care and feeding, trebled by weeding out the beef element, and quadrupled by careful breed- ing. Pine Grove Mention.

McWilliams and Alfred Bowersox from the Lock Haven State Normal; J. Baker Krebs, from the University in Philadelphia; J. G. Miller, Carlisle Law school, and G. W. and J. C. Ward. and J. M. Keller from Pittsburg. One of the social events during their stay was the celebration of the twenty-first birthday of George Bell, only son J. N. Bell. The party was so well arranged and planned by his mother that it wasa complete surprise. Early in the day he was decoyed away from home by his friend, Harry McCracken, and upon his return found a full house and a warm wel- come. Among the presents he received were a valuable hammerless gun and hunting out- fit, a new suit of clothes, overcoat, smoking set, and the usual amount of neckties, bric-a- brac ete. Delicious refreshments were served and the guests all enjoyed the affair thor- oughly. On last Saturday morning asad shooting accident happened on the south side of Tussy mountain that cost Clem Lightner, son of John Lightner, of near Stoffys’, his life. Lightner was out camping with a band of In- diana hunters as man of affairs about camp but on that eventful morning had taken a gun and started to hunt. Not long after, a shot was heard in the direction he had gone but no one became uneasy about the young man until night, when he did not put in his appearance. Sunday morning the alarm was given and Stone valley turned out to hunt over the mountain for the lost man who was found dead with his-gun by his side. The bullet had entered his chin and passed out through the top of his head, and, the supposi- tion is that he had. stooped to raise a large stone to get at a rabbit when in some manner his gun fell and discharged the load into his head. The deceased was a well to do young lumberman and his untimely death should be a warning against the care- less handling of fire arms. He was buried on Tuesday at 10 o'clock in the Stoffy church yard. WHEREAS, in the Providence of God, death has been permitted to again claim one of our number, past grand, Henry T.
