Bellefonte, Pa., March 19, 1915. s— "P. GRAY MEEK, TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.—Until turther notice this paper will be furnished to subscribers at the following rates: - EDITOR Paid strictly in advance - - $1.50 Paid before expiration of year - 1.75 Paid after expiration of year - 2.00 The Adjournment Resolution. The fixing of a date for the final ad- journment of the Legislature at this time can hardly be characterized as a trick of the machine but it indicates a gradual return to the methods in vogue when the machine was paramount. Then it was the custom to fix the date of adjourn- ment in the caucus the night before the session began. This year the body was well into the third month of its work be- fore the matter was taken up. Little has been done thus far, it is true. Only one bill, the deficiency appropriation, had gone to the Governor before the" resolution to adjourn had been introduc- ed. But it may be assumed that it is not the intention to enact much legislation this year. Besides something like an adjcurnment date was necessary to spur the Legis- lature into action. the first week in January when the session opened the Senate has held a couple of sittings a week, with an ex- ception now and then to enable the lead- ers to run down to Florida for confer- ence, and the House has been in opera- tion two or three days a week. But little progress has been made with legislation. The committees may have been busy but there is no record of the achievements in those secret chambers. But that is | usually the case. After the measures leave | the committees they are put on the to- boggan and rushed. That system makes it easier for the machine. The action of the Governor in delaying consideration of the local option bill was perplexing, moreover. Usually legisla- tion that is badly wanted is pushed for- ward by its friends so as to assure ample time for debate and deliberation. But Governor BRUMBAUGH, who is sponsor for the local option bill, intervened to prevent its early consideration. Probably its more earnest but less sophisticated friends sup- ported the adjournment resolution in order to get the measure on the calendar. Be that as it may the resolution is an admonition to the Governor and others concerned in the legislation to get a move on themselves. But there is plenty of time if there is desire. jo ——— # ——Those Montgomery county manu- facturers are not satisfied with the gen- tle tapping of a sandbag which Secretary REDFIELD administered to them the other day and are again annoying him.

No MORE DANCING AT BELLEFONTE ACADEMY.—As a result of the recent evangelistic meetings held in Bellefonte the customary Friday night dances at the Bellefonte Academy have been dis- continued and in their place will be sub- stituted two socials each month, which young people of the town will be invited to attend and the evening spent in harm- less amusement. During Dr. Orr's serv- ices he preached on the evils of dancing, especially the modern dances, and Mr. James R. Hughes, headmaster at the Academy, was very much impressed with the sermon.

These two in her min- istry could never be separated. “Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” Private funeral services will be held by Rev. W. C.

Daggett, proprietor of the Bush : house has just received a certificate en- rolling him as a charter member of the “Golden Rule Alliance of America.” The certificate contains the autograph of one of America’s most beloved wom- en, Fanny J. Crosby, the hymn writer, : “who was blind from infancy, was presi- ; dent of the Alliance and one of the very last acts in that capacity before she died was to sign Mr. Daggett’s certificate. It all came about in this way. Some time ago the Alliance sent a contribution box to be placed in the office of the Bush house. The box was stolen by some miserable creature after it had been in place there a few weeks and Mr. Daggett felt so chagrined at its theft that he wrote to the Alliance enclosing his per- sonal’ check covering what he guessed might have been in it. ; Immediately He received a most gra- gious reply commending his generosity, but returning the check on the ground that he could be in nowise responsible for the theft of the contribution box, and as an expression of the Alliance's , Pond, of State College, will read a paper { on “Germany.” Mrs. Pond is in sympa thy with the German point of view and it lis hoped all friends of Germany will be present. ——Fearon Glasgow and Rankin Weav- er, both of Penn township, were arrested by chief of police Harry Dukeman on Real Estate Transfers.

We are now exporting pigiron to Italy, a rather unusual movement which must be attributed to the fact that English and German blast furnaces are now kept busy in producing iron for their own governments. Italy has no iron ore de- | posits, and those of France lie within the | territory held by the Germans. Spain has large ore deposits, but the material | has to be shipped to England for smelt- ing. Thus war opens to the United States a market usually closed by the | heavy ocean freight charges. It is not likely to be a permanent opening, but it helps the iron and steel trade while it lasts. : ; i $a —_— EE ———————————— County Correspondence Items of Interest Dished Up for the Delec- tation of ‘“Watchman” Readers by a Corps of Gifted Correspondents.
