FARMERS WEEK AT STATE COLLEGE.— The “Farmers Week” exercises at State College came to a close at noon yester- day after the most successful week since the exercises were inaugurated six years ago, though the practical talks of such men as Dr. Thomas F. Hunt, Hon. Alva Agee and Hugh P. Baker were missed by those farmers who gather at the College year after year. During the week just 682 farmers and a few farmers wives were enrolled. In fact the crowd in reg- ular attendance was so large that it was necessary to hold tbe exercises in sec- tions, consequently lectures and demon- strations were carried on at three and four places at the same time. It would be futile to attempt to give any part of the exercises of the week as the program was unusually long. Dr. E. E. Sparks, president of the College, appeared but once, and that was on Wednesday even- ing when he lectured on “ Egypt,” illustrating his talk with views taken while on his tour of that country last year. Prof. H. E. Van Norman made his last talks to the farmers during the week, as he will leave before very long for California. The largest attendance at the exercises was naturally from Cen- tre county, but most of the counties in the State were represented.

And that is right in line with the policy of the Scenic, to give the very best of the feature films put upon the market. | ——Messrs. John P. Harris, F. Potts Green, Hammon Sechler, L. T. Munson and Rev. John Hewitt, five of the oldest Masons in Bellefonte, made a fraternal call on Mr. J. H. Sunde, on New Year's day. Mr. Sands is now in his ecighty- eighth year and is confined to his home on Allegheny street. ——Having resigned his position as assistant professor of agronomy at State College to accept a professorship in the University of California under Dr. Thomas F. Hunt, Prof. C. F. Shaw with Mrs. Shaw left yesterday for their future location at Davis. Cal. Mrs. Shaw, prior to her mar- riage to the professor, was a Miss Hos. terman, o! Centre Hall. —W. Harrison Walker Esq. has leased that part of the Sands house on Allegheny street now occupied by Mrs. Burnside and will move there from the Bush house on or about April first, 1913. C. D.

Linn has decided to re- tire from business on April first of this year. If possible to do so he will sell his china store to any reliable purchaser, but if this cannot be done advantageous- ly he will close out the store by auction sale or otherwise.

Y., has de- cided to open an office at State College chises in other parts of Centre county has made an offer for the property of the Bellefonte Electric Co. While the matter of its acceptance or rejection has not been acted upon by the local corporation we understand that the offer is so at- tractive that, in all probability, it will be accepted. If the new syndicate secures the Belle- fonte property and developes the other franchises it holds there can be little doubt of an electric railway line being built between Bellefonte and State Col- lege soon, for if it intends to supply pow- fer, light and heat for both places from a central plant the current will have to be transported anyway, which would leave only the laying of tracks as an addition- al expense in constructing an electric line. we Auto Bus WRECKED.—On Friday of [ last week Mr. Walker, who runs an auto bus line from Rebersburg to Coburn, met with an accident by which his bus was badly wrecked and L. S. Smith, of Centre Hall, agent for the International Har- vester company, might have been killed. Mr. Walker, who was driving a bus simi- lar to the one run by the Brockerhoff house, also carries the mail and when almost the top of the hill at Kline's grist mill, in Brush valiey, he stopped the ma- chine to deliver some mail. While doing so the brake on the machine slipped and it started backwards down the hill. Smith was inside and naturally could do noth- ing. The machine finally swerved from the road, went through the fence and rolled down over a thirty foot embank- ment into the creek. The bus was badly wrecked but fortunately Smith escaped with a few scratches and bruises, FOR AND AGAINST LICENSES. —At the license court on December 14th, "Squire Hawkins, of Philipsburg, was appointed master before whom testimony was taken last Thursday on the various applications for liquor license in that town, against all of which remonstrances were filed.

Foster; Mrs. Mattern and her daughter and Mrs. Elder and her husband, of Philipsburg. George Elder, a grandson, with his wife, of Schenectady, N. Y.,, were also present.

TEMPORARY CASHIER ELECTED. —At a meeting of the stockholders of the Penns- valley Banking company, held on Wed- to succeed the late W. B. Mingle. After considering the matter Mr. Keller ex- pressed himself as somewhat reluctant to accept the position, owing to his various farming interests, but yesterday morning he was induced to accept temporarily and if in the future he finds that it will not take up too much of his time will likely accept the job permanently. Charles D. Bartholomew was continued in his posi- tion as assistant cashier. No other changes were made. ——Manager T. Clayton Brown has se- cured for exhibition at the Scenic on Friday, January 10th, afternoon and even- ing, the famous Sarah Bernhardt “Queen Elizabeth” films, four reels, proclaimed by critics as the acme of motion photo- graphic art.

On account of the high cost of these films the price of admission ‘will be increased to ten cents for that night only. Not one person in thousands will ever have the opportunity of seeing Madame Bernhardt personally, and all who can possibly do so should take ad- vantage of this opportunity to see her in motion pictures. ——The entertaining during the holi- Teas given by Miss Ellen Hayes at Bush house in honor of her Grace Carroll, of Texas; by - beth Morris at her home on and by the Misses Marguerite and Potter for Mrs. Wallace Miss Prince.

JoHN’S.—The choir of St. John's Episcopal church of which Miss Bradley is director, was the only one in Bellefonte to attempt any- thing as pretentious as a cantata for the Christmas music. Supplemented by sev- eral soprancs, one alto and a bass from other church choirs, they sang Spence’s “Story of Bethlehem.” The theme con- stitutes a splendid praise service and the music is more dignified and melodious than is usual in Christmas productions. The choir was splendidly balanced and sang with a finish that probably excelled any effort it has ever before made. Mrs, Russell Blair’s principal solo “Sleep, Holy Babe,” was exquisite, the quintette in which Mrs. Blair, Miss Dorworth, Mr. Blair and Messrs. Dickinson and Bullock sang was another number most impres- sive in its rendition; and Mr. Blair's tenor solo, “Bethlehem, Thou Dost All Excel,” afforded a splendid opportunity to show the range and quality of a voice admirably adapted for it. ———.
