she had been corresponding. The man
in question was formerly a resident of
Pleasant Gap, this county, and the cor-
respondence between the two started
through a newspaper advertisement.
——Somebody in Beliefonte or vicinity
had a Sunday dinner not exactly intend-
ed for them, and probably such a one as
they were not used to having, and the
joke—if joke it can be termed—is on
mail carrier Edward Woods. As is his
usual custom Mr. Woods did his market-
ing last Saturday evening for the Sunday
meal. He had his basket well filled with
a choice roast of beef, fruit, nuts, candies,
etc, and as it was a little early to go
home he put his basket on one of the
shelves near the door in Peter Keichline's
green grocery, then walked up street as
far as the bridge where he talked with
some men for probably a half hour. Then
he started home. He stopped at Keich-
line's store to get his basket, but there
was no basket there. It had disappeared
most completely and neither Mr. Keichline
nor anybody else in the store had the
least idea who took it. But gone it was
and the only thing Ed could do
was do his marketing over, but the
second time he took the stuff home and
we have no doubt put it under lock and
key. It might be said, by the way, that
Mr. Woods don't entertain any unusually
hard feelings toward the man for taking
his dinner but he deplores very much the
loss of his basket and ten trading stamps
he had in it, and would be very thankful

For Vice President, |
selves.
Centre county has produced three or
four Governors and has been the home of
national fame, yet today it is among the
poorest in regard to traveling facilities.
Take for instance the railroads. There
are fewer counties in Pennsylvania that
have poorer railroads and means of trav-
eling from one section of the county to
the other than Centre county.
The several good railroads to which
Centre county can lay claim run merely
along the borders of the county and leave
the interior either without railroads or
with such as the Central Pennsylvania
and the Bellefonte Central from Belle-
fonte to State College.
What harm have the students of State
College done to the people of Centre
county that they keep them cooped up
there on the mountains afraid each time
spend a night in the “Barrens” some-
where between State College and Belle-
fonte?
What right has Centre county to an in-
stitution like State College if she cannot
furnish better transportation to and from
it than she has been able to do so far?
How many additional miles could be tak-
en from the journey of many of these
students if they had the proper railroad
facilities?
We would like to inform our readers
that Centre county is one out of the three
or four counties in Pennsylvania which
cannot boast of a trolley line. One trol-
ley line does invade our borders but is
owned by a corporation in another coun-
ty. This is one of the many needed im-
provements for which we have been zeal-
ously working for the past few years.
If we wish to improve the farming dis-
tricts of Centre county and have it take
its place among the leading counties of
the State, we must get awake to the sit-
uation and give the farmer the best pos-
sible means of transportation for his
farm products and let him do the rest.
We have no great cities within our
boundaries nor have we factories or mills
to any extent but we have great lime-
lay some of the
State and a Col-
lege which makes a specialty of training
young men to be tillers of the soil. What
better argument could be put forth in fa-
vor of better transportation and travel-
ing facilities?
ments we have been advocating in these
columns is the subject of better roads.
The arguments set forth above apply al-
so to the public highways.
We have only one word to speak in fa-
vor of the people of Centre county. If
they do not waken up and get more snap
and ginger into their work there will be few
Centre countians in the new State peni-
tentiary, for they will not have gumption
enough to raise a racket, and it is only
active people who go to the pen.
Citizens of Centre county, shall we
take a back seat and rest on the laurels
of several great men, or shall we hustle
out and bring in fresh laurels for both
ourselves and our country?
Increase the Population.
BY DOROTHY JENKINS.
When we look back over the past
years, on the records of Bellefonte’s pop-
ulation, we wonder greatly why it never
increases. It is true that it holds its
own, but should there not be an increase
in a town, in which there are so many
natural advantages and resources?
This problem has long been before the
eyes of the people, and as it has not
been solved, doubtless it would be a fine
thing for this vicinity, to look into and
study the nature and reasons of such an
important question.
Every year people move away; none,
if any, very few indeed, come here, for
what is there to do?
The question is a very deep and per-
plexing one, and should be given more
attention than it has been in the past.
Just what is there for people to do who
would come here? There is no centre
of trade to regulate each working place;
every man goes his own way which is
quite natural, but does this increase the
business and population of a community?
Why couldn't this town, the size is no
hindrance, have a Board of Trade? It
would surely help business matters to in-
crease and bring more people to the
town.
Why should not our lime kilns, our
lumber yards, our lighting and heating
plants, our factories, our coal yards,
whose supplies are all within Bellefonte,
add to the population? Too long has
our population been the same number,
and if this problem is not worked out
and the results put into practice very
soon, there will not be the same old num-
ber, even, to greet us after the census
for the return of the latter. +. ’

| High School Students as News-
Writers.
Considerable interest is being manifested in the various mews articles sub-
mitted by High school students in the George R. Meek prize-winning contest, and
the WATCHMAN presents another installment of them this week as follows:
Is Centre County Progressing With the
Times?
they venture out that they will have to,
not have a Board of Trade; and on the
other hand there are many why we
should. The mills which could be put
up, could be run by our own stream of
water; the lumber-yards could be sup-
plied from mountains nearby; and other
places of business, factories and the like,
could have their supplies right in and
around the vicinity.
The people from the country do not
come here as they once did, and certain.
ly the stores miss their trade. Can't
something be done to prevent this?
Wouldn't our Board of Trade so remedy
it that the stores would again be restor-
ed to their usual prosperity?
Thus it can be plainly seen by all, how
much benefit an organization of this kind
would be to the surrounding community.
It is absolutely necessary that the public
should get busy, and at once. The prob-
lem can't be figured out in a day, but
must be experimented with, until some
definite solution is found. So it seems
about time for the people to begin to ex-
periment, and when the answer is found,
it may be time enough to save the com-
munity.
The Condition of Our Main Street.
BY JOSEPH CEADER.
Among the numerous questions which
arise in the minds of the citizens of Belle-
fonte, especially the property holders in
the business section, is the condition of
our main street. A few years ago when
it was but hinted to pave Allegheny St..
from Bishop to Pike alley, and to con
tinue on Bishop and Linn streets with
macadamized road, only the good points
were looked at. How uniform would be
the curbing, how clean the general ap-
pearance of the neighborhood to be
flanked by such a highway. It is true
the streets through the residential section
have borne out the expectations and
ideals of the people so far, but what can
we say of the remainder? Is it in the
same spotless condition, in which we
was first brought up? A glance answers
the question, it is not. Certainly the
refuse cannot stick through the bricks
so it must have an outlet in the form of
a thorough cleaning at least twice a
week. The snow of the past winter has
covered a dirty and most unsanitary
stretch of street and now that it is melt.
ed, we notice how extremely offensive it
is. Many resort to the reasoning that
serclore. those iowik must be 0
by the same trouble, but on visiting the
is not the case. Where then is the defect
in our method of caring for the streets?
Have we a sufficiently large street force?
i property? The blame must be placed to
a great extent on these conditions but!
some also on the subject of our hitching |
| posts.
| Some time ago a hot discussion arose | J
| as to whether hitching posts should be |
placed along Allegheny street but there '
was not enough opposition to the plan to
defeat it, and the iron posts were set up.
We now witness the result,the street has
been filthy ever since. A few of our busi-
| ness men claimed that it would draw the
, farmers to purchase from the stores in
front of which they could tie their horses
This, it must be admitted, from one point
of view is not an illogical argument, for
as it would be handier, it might have
weight with buyers. But stop, we forgot
to look at the other side, the paving is
unsightly and unsanitary, and who likes
even to walk along a thorough-fare so
carelessly looked after?
It would not be difficult to remedy
these ills and place the business part of
Bellefonte in a perfect state, if we only
tried to do so. We might begin by mak-
ing a proper use of the receptacles so
kindly placed at every street corner by
the untiring efforts of the ladies to make
Bellefonte a model of cleanliness and
beauty. We might too remove the hitch-
ing posts to the side streets or use our
influence to provide a competent street
force.
The Woman’s Club.
BY MARGARET BULLOCK.
A few years ago, when the women of
Bellefonte organized the Woman's Club,
little attention was paid to their move-
ments; but to-day we believe the citizens
are realizing and appreciating the good
work they are doing, for this club has
awakened an interest in many things
which although they seem small are of
real importance. To its meetings all
women are invited and each of its divis-
ions is doing much good in the commun.
ity.
The cleaning up day which its Village
Improvement department established and
also the garbage cans that it placed over
the streets have done much to clean and
thus beautify the town. While the lectur-
ers,some of the best in the country,whom
this department has brought here, cost-
ing the people little, must certainly be
highly appreciated; since the citizens
have such few opportunities to hear good
speakers. This is some but not all of
the good work which this branch is do-
pictured it to be when the proposition i
there are paved streets in other towns
majority of those places we find that such |
ing.
The Civic department has not been
{idle. The questions which it has take
| before council for consideration have
! brought about the enforcement of many
| minor but important laws. Its hospital
! work must be recognized as a great bene-
fit. The women school directors who
| through its exertions were elected to the
: Board have yet to prove their worthiness,
| but the fact of their being chosen shows
| the peopie’s belief in their efficiency. The
! results of all of this work may be highly
| estimated.
The Mothers’ department has compell-
| ed recognition. The sewing school which
| it has established in the public school is
most instructive, teaching the girls of
the grades the rudiments of sewing. Al-
| though its attempts to establish a domes-
tic science department have not yet won,
| it is valued by many and welcomed al-
most unanimously by High school girls.
| The Parent-Teacher Association which
; was organized in the school through its
i efforts is bringing the teachers and parents
|into a closer relation and thus resulting
i in the accomplishment of better
work. This division of the Club is re-
lieving much suffering among the poor
! and also doing much general good.
! All of this necessarily requires much
| work and we, recognizing the benefits of
| this Woman's Club to our town, wish to
icommend it very highly and urgently
, encourage it in its good work.
