Rev. L. S. Spang- | ler presided as toast-master and in his ever happy manner stated that it was hard to find words in which to fittingly express the high esteem in which Mr. Fry was held by the members of the Lodge as well as the community in gen- | eral; and that in his two score years as | as an Odd Fellow he had many deeds of | kindness to his credit. i Capt.

Yesterday noon Mrs. Kline Woodring was walking up Ridge street from Linn to Lamb while a number of boys were there playing ball. One of the boys care- lessly threw a ball and instead of it going where he wanted it to it hit Mrs. Wood- ring on the right temple with such force as to completely daze her for a few mo- ments. This is only one of the dangers of ball playing on the streets. Another is the danger to windows, etc. While it may seem a little hard on the boys to enforce the prohibition order, there are plenty of vacant lots around the town, in addition to the school grounds, where they can play unmolested and without has passed his half century mark. In his profession as a veterinarian he travels all over the county and has hosts of friends everywhere. He is one of the most enthusiastic G. A. R. men in Centre county and many an old comrade less fortunately situated than he has been made happy through his generosity. Recurring to last Saturday evening's celebration it was an event that will long be remembered by Capt. Fry as well as his brethren in Odd Fellowship. Co-OPERATIVE LIBRARY FACTS.—Mr. J. C. Cummings, president and general manager, originated the co-operative plan of supplying books to the reading public of the small town, May 1st, 1910. First sub-station was installed at Brock- wayville, Pa. May 21st, 1910. Since that time thirty-eight branches have been established, and thirty-two are in success- ful operation, six having been discon- tinued as the towns were not large enough to support them. Beginning January 1st, 1913, all stations organized or reorganized have been installed on a daily rental plan of 2 cents a day, no membership fee, no fines, no dues, just pay for what is read, for the time books are kept from the library. The most liberal and far reaching idea that could be conceived in the smaller town where a free public library is out of the ques- tion. G. W. Hall & Co., will be local head- quarters for the Bellefonte branch, pro- viding sufficient support is given the plan to make the association reasonably sure Mr. Cummings at the Garman house.

Miss Emma Zones assisted P.M. Krape in the office a few days this week, during the absence of Miss Mabel Brown, the regular official. T. M.

Last Sunday evening the Lutheran church at Pine Grove Mills was filled to hear Rev. L. S. Spangler, the pastor, deliver a sermon to the Odd Fellows. The eminent young divine took for his text “Brotherhood,” and in part said. “no man could be a good member without feeling in his heart the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, exemplifying the true friend- ship of Jonathan and David.” His remarks were well rendered. LEMONT. The early fruit has about all been frozen with- in the last few days. Mrs. Ira Nearhoof and sister and daughter re- turned home on Saturday. John Dale was able to come to town on Satur- day, but looks far from well, John C. Hoy and sons built a large porch for George Bloom, which certainly beautifies his res- idence. The fire on Tussey mountain on Surday and Sunday night looked beautiful, as the high wind drove it at a fearful rate. William Johnstonbaugh was in: town last week selling self-wringing mops, as he has not been able to do hard work since coming from the hos- pital. Monday morning the mercury stood at 23 de- grees and at places there was ice formed one- half inch thick, which seemed more like January than April weather. L J.

They intend to use it to convey passengers between Lemont and State College, and to other points. «eo. high class Job Work come to the WATCHMAN Office. Suffragists Win In Penna. Senate. The resolution proposing an amend- ment to the state constitution of Pennsylvania enfranchising women was passed finally by the senate in Harrisburg by a vote of 26 to 22. It had previously passed the house. The vote in favor was exactly the constitutional majority necessary for senatorial approval. The proposed amendment must come before the legislature of 1915, and if it again wins, must then be submitted to the voters at the polls before women can obtain the ballot privilege. The vote was taken in the presence of a crowd that filled the senate chamber to the doors. The advocates of the woman suffrage resolution were elated by their rather unexpected vic tory and the “antis” were cre=tfallen. A wave of faint applause swept through the chamber when the vote was announced. Four Miners Awarded $30,000. By the affirmation of a decision by Judge C. N.
