MANY PUBLIC SALES THIS SPRING. — The season for public sales of farm stock and implemenents is now on and during the month of March there will be anywhere from one to a half a dozen sales every day in Centre county. Hun- dreds of horses, cattle and hogs will be sold and farm implements enough to equip many farms. A careful estimate places the number of sales to be held in Centre county this spring at one hundred or over. Most of these are being held by farmers who have accumulated a competence and are about to retire to private life. Some of the sales will be principally surplus stock that the farmer has accumulated and is making sale to get rid of it. In the end, however, the purchaser will pay the price, as so far at the few sales that have been held all kinds of stock have brought high prices and farming implements. also sold to their full value. It is estimated that over a quarter of a million dollars worth of farm stock and equipment will change | hands this spring. TWENTY-SEVEN LICENSES GRANTED.— Judge Ellis L.

Covers were laid for ninety people and included among the guests were about forty or more resi- dents of Bellefonte and the basket-ball | ‘team of the University of Pittsburgh, composed of former Academy players. At the basket-ball game prior to the ban- quet the Academy team defeated the vis- itors by the score of 43 to 33. The hon- or guest at the banquet was Rev. James P. Hughes, principal emeritus of the Academy, who is in his eighty-eighth year, having celebrated his eighty-sev- enth anniversary on December 15th, 1914.
