school auditorium was comfortably filled | member of the Lutheran church and was
on Monday evening, notwithstanding
most inclement weather, to hear the il-
lustrated lecture on “The Town Beauti-
ful” by Mr. John T. Withers, of Jersey
City. He is most conversant with the
subject of tree culture and landscape gar-
dening and came here entirely through
enthusiasm in his work; as there was no
remuneration sought. Mr. Withers ac-
companied Mr. Geo. T. Bush and his sis-
ter, Mrs. Callaway, on their recent trip
around the world and he accepted the
former's invitation to come here and give
us the lecture of Monday night. It was
a pity that more did not hear it, but those
who did must certainly feel repaid for
the two hours and a half they spent list-
ening to such expert advice so strikingly
illustrated with beautiful colored plates
of the finest gardens and trees of every
specie in all parts of the world.
Mr. Withers is evidently a recognized
authority on tree culture. His talk re-
vealed an intimacy with the subject that
proclaimed a wide experience and his il-
lustrations were selected with a view of
conveying to the minds of his auditors
convincing proof that there is a right and
wrong way to care for trees and that the
matter of their care is an important one
to all.
The suggestions he made that might
be adapted to use in this community
might be summed up in the following
hints:
In taking off large limbs always first
cut them off at least a foot from the
trunk; this to prevent the limb from
stripping bark from the trunk when it
falls. After this is accomplished cut the
stump off as smooth as possible and close
in to the trunk of the tree. Then paint.
the scar with a good oil paint and keep
it painted. If this is done new bark will
cover the wound entirely. If it is not de-
cay will start. {
In pruning always make the cut as
close ahead of a bud as possible. This
bud will eventually cover up the scar and
leave no unsightly stumps to rot.
For street trees plant only narrow
branching trees on streets running east
and west. Wide branching trees like
interested in all that pertained to the
moral welfare of the community. Her
many acts of kindness and charity helped
to bring a bit of sunshine into many
homes in the community in which she
lived.
Surviving her are the following chil-
dren: Thomas and Mrs. Edward Smith,
of Mlinois; George, of Pittsburg; Mrs.
Margaret Lee, of Nittany; A. J. and Wil-
liam, of Pine Grove Mills, and Wesley, of
Peru. She also leaves three sisters, Mrs.
Klechner, of Mifflinburg; Mrs. Emil Ker-
stetter, of Coburn, and Mrs. E. Musser,
of Coburn. One half-brother, Ammon
Shirk, also survives. Rev. J. 1. Stonecy-

held at ten o'clock on Wednesday morn-
ing, burial being made at Shiloh.

Memoriam.
George Kye was born February 6th
1829, died Februrary 4th, 1911, 81
years, 11 months and 29 days. He was
one of our well beloved and much re-
spected citizens of Centre county. He
peacefully passed away at his home in
the German Settlement, where he spent
the ter part of his life. He leaves an
wife, several children and many
to mourn his death. He has been
a faithful follower of the Lord Jesus
Christ for many years. For the last few
years he has sustained a relationship in
the Messiah church, having received the
right hand of fellowship at the hand of
Rev. E. A. Meredith. Funeral services
were conducted by Rev. E. A. Meredith
at the home, assisted by Rev. R. F. Ruch.
And we laid him to rest in the Askey
cemetery where he shall sleep until! the
last trump of God shall sound, then he
shall come forth and have part in the
first resurrcction. :

Monday morning and afternoon a local
Sunday school institute was held in the
Presbyterian chapel to which all the coun-
ty and district officers had been invited.
The morning session was called to or-
der by the county secretary, Mr. L. W.

of the president, C. L. Gramley, the Rev,
Dr. Schmidt was called to the chair,
Mrs. M. J. Baldwin, the State superin-
tendent of Elementary Grade work, gave
a very helpful talk at this session on the
“Front Line Movement.” Ten points of
excellence are required to bring Centre
county up to the “Front Line” now held
by. thirty-seven counties in the State.
Centre county lacks three points, viz.—
Fifty of the schools of the county must
have cradle roll departments; thirty
of them must have home departments,
and twenty of them must have teacher's
training classes.
At 2:30 p. m. Mrs. Baldwin gave a
practical talk on the various phases of
work in the elementary grades and then
conducted a conference on the same sub.
ject. It was decided to hold the forty-
second annual county convention at
Aaronsburg, August 21st and 22nd, 1911,
The executive committee adopted the
following points for recognition of indi-

matter has been resting so long that the
Bellefonte people had almost forgotten it
when they were very forcibly reminded
that the ghost still stalks abroad by the
appearance on l'uesday of a man who had
all the contracts and demanded either the
return of the books or the payment of the
balance due according to the contracts:
But even his bravado failed to jolt any

Bellefonters or get a return of the books
without refunding the amount already
paid on them.
legal action nay be taken to compel the
Bellefonte members to pay up, but they
are determined to fight the matter to a
finish and have engaged an attorney to
look after their interests. In the mean-
time there is some uneasiness among the
Bellefonte members over what may hap- |
pen next.
