ROBERT MCAFEE, Secretary of the Commonwealth, oe THe BASKET SHOP A Busy PLACE. —Only a very few people in Bellefonte have any idea of what a busy place The Basket Shop is, or to what extent it has grown in the few years of its existence. It was only a few years ago that the Misses Blanchard began to make baskets for presents to friends, etc. They soon realized the commercial possibilities of manufacturing baskets for sale and at once took up the proposition. The first year they took their wares to Phila- delphia shortly betore the Holidays and were very successful in disposing of them. That was the beginning. At that time one room in the Blanchard house was used as the basket work shop. Today The Basket Shop occupies an annex to the house, which at one time was the Blanchard stable and also the small two-story building on the rear of the John P. Harris lot, and both build- ings are crowded. All told twenty-four women and girls and one man are em- ployed in the shop. The man is John A. Lane, of Cambridge, Mass., an expert dyer and art worker, who was secured just recently. He will not only assist in the designing and dyeing but will spend part of his time as a sales- man on the road disposing of the product of the shop. This will do away with the arduous work of holding exhibits in vari- ous cities in order to advertise the baskets and find a sale for them. So far, how- ever, they have always been able to dis- pose of all the baskets manufactured and the demand is steadily increasing, so that the proprietors are again figuring on more room to branch out. sm A am —A fitting climax to the closing chapter of social events, for which the Hamilton home this side of Pleasant Gap, has had a reputation for years through- out this section of the country, was the dinner given by Mrs. 5S. H. Williams to thirty-one of her friends on the twenty- second of February. The women were taken from Bellefonte in closed hacks, to the stone house, where an old time din- ner, the table groaning with everything good to eat, was served to fifteen at a time, after which the afternoon, until the return trip on the train, was spent with fancy work and in reminiscing.

The census of other Centre county bor- oughs is as follows : State College, 1,- 425; Unionville, 343; Milesburg, 531; Howard, 667; Centre Hall, 500; Millheim, 626; Snow Shoe, 643. State College showed an increase of 547 in the past ten years, which is accounted for in the de- mands made by the growth of The Penn- sylvania State College. While Bellefonte’s population is some- what of a disappointment to the residents of the town we are larger than some of our sister towns. Philipsburg has a pop- ulation of 3,585, a gain of 319; Hollidays- burg has 3,734; Lewistown 3,081; North- umberland 3,517; and Patton 3,907. BuiLb Up BELLEFONTE.— Every man in Bellefonte who has the interest of the town at heart is naturally disappointed at the announcement of the recent census which shows the town going backward instead of forward; but did you ever stop to consider why this is so? What have you, individually, done to help build up the town within the past ten years? On several occasions Bellefonte has organized a board of trade the purpose of which was tosecure the location of industries and in every way advance the interests of the town. But not an industry was ever se- cured by such organizations and after two or three rather listless and uninter- esting meetings the board might as well have been a sawlog for all the interest the members took in anything. A good, live board of trade can do wonders for a town if the members go at it in earnest. This has been proven con- clusively by the board of trade of Wil- liamsport. One half the industries of the Lumber city were secured through the efforts of that organization. And Belle- fonte could be helped amazingly by an equally live organization. The writer was told a day or two ago by aman in a position to know that there are lots of industries in this State seeking a change of location. One that he specially men- tioned was a large foundry company who are now looking for a more available site than the one they now occupy. The foundry uses forty to fifty tons of iron a week and employs about one hundred skilled workmen. This is a proposition that would be worth looking into if we only had a board of trade to do the look- ing. Let the business men and the influ- ential men of the town get together and do something to boost Bellefonte.

It frightened at an automo- bile passing along the street and being unable to break loose it plunged and ran around the hitching post making a com- plete wreck of the buggy. As soon as the driver of the automobile noticed the animal's fright he stopped the machine but the horse was already so badly fright- ened he could not be pacified until he practically tired himself out. ——Shortly before noon on Monday D. C. Burkett, of Clearfield, arrived in Belle- fonte on his way to Jersey Shore, where he is opening a new garage. He had a Ford touring car and a young man who works for him was doing the driving. On account of the cold he had a foot warmer in the car and going down Alle- gheny street to Bishop he attempted to ply the brake, but got his foot on the warmer instead with the result that the car got a little beyond his control and in attempting to turn the corner on Bishop street the machine skidded against the pavement at the Brant house, breaking the right front wheel. Will Keichline loaned him a wheel from off his machine and he proceeded on his journey the same afternoon. -n ——Register Earle C.
