A Bic AuToMOBILE TOUR.—Mr. S. P.
—Aside from the eleventh hour details ' ladders, zxes, lanterns, 1000 feet of fire Zimmerman, of Philadelphia, represent-
all arrangements are about completed for
Centre county’s big Old Home week. At
the executive committee meeting on
hospital tent would be erected alongside
of the court house where three trained
nurses will be in constant attendance,
in case their services are required.
The Transportation committee report-
ed that arrangements have been com-
pleted with the Pennsylvania railroad
company for a special train to leave Phil-
ipsburg at seven o'clock on Monday
morning, July 5th, Tyrone about eight
o'clock, and arrive in Bellefonte before
ten o'clock. Special trains will leave
Bellefonte on Monday and Tuesday even-
ings at ten o’clock for Tyrone and Phil-
ipsburg, and another special will leave at
the same hour for Coburn. The Belle-
fonte Central railroad will run special
trains to suit the convenience of the
crowd, and especially run a return train
to Pine Grove Mills on Tuesday night at
10 o’clock, to accommodate the old stu-
dents of the Pine Grove Mills Academy.
The Bellefonte Central will have excur-
sion rates of one fare for the round trip.
The Central Railroad of Pennsylvania
will also run trains to suit the crowds.
In order to insure accommodations for
any unusual number of people who will
spend the nights in Bellefonte the asso-
ciation has arranged to get one hundred
tents from the Grange Picnic association
and these will be erected on the field
east of Thomas street, near the residence
of L. H. Gettig, and be called Old Home
week camp. A reasonable charge for
these tents will be made per night, or by
the week, if families desire camping
there for the week. The camp will be
policed day and night, so that it will be
entirely safe and good order preserved.
At the meeting on Tuesday evening a
vote of thanks was tendered Hon. Leonard
Rhone and members of the Grange
Picnic association for their generosity in
loaning the tents.
The Finance committee reported the
finances in good shape and a resolution
was passed that after the big celebration
.s over and all bids paid, if there is
any money left it will be appropriated to
the Bellefonte hospital.
A letter was received from Dr. George
E. Hawes, president of the Bellefonte
ministerium, announcing that they
will be glad to take charge of the Sun-
day services and are arranging to have
all the pulpits filled so far as possible
with old Bellefonte ministers or min-
isters in some way connected with Centre
county. That if the weather permits
they would like to have the union serv-
ices in the afternoon either in front of
the court house or the new High school
building, and would have at that time a
number of short addresses by visiting
ministers and a good program of music,
with the assistance of the Tyrone P. R.
R. concert band. It was voted to give
the ministers entire charge for that day.
The parade committee is rounding its
affairs into shape and reported that all
indications are for a monster industrial
parade on Tuesday. Included in this
parade will be woman suffrage and W. C.
T. U. floats, while a number of the sur-
rounding towns will be represented with
a number of floats. The automobile
parade also promises to be a big one, as
from forty to fifty cars are already en-
tered from State College alone.
J. Frank Smith, of the Music com-
mittee, reported that the Tyrone band
will be here from Sunday morning
until Wednesday. Our Boys band of
Milesburg Friday, Saturday, Monday and
Tuesday. The Aaronsburg band on
Monday. The Philipsburg band Monday
and Tuesday. The Odd Fellows Orphan-
age band of Sunbury Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, while the Coleville,
Howard and Boalsburg bands will be here
on different days during the week. In
addition there will also be a carnival
band to play for the free attractions.
The official program has been com-
pleted and will be circulated the coming
week, so that everybody can see just
when the best things are pulled off. And
one of those will be the registered shoot
of the State College gun club, which will
take place on Hughes field on Wednes-
day, July 7th.
Every arrangement will be made to pre-
vent gambling and to keep pick-pockets
out of town. It is the purpose of the
association to give a good, clean cele-
bration, with plenty of harmless amuse-
ment to entertain the crowd.
And that there will be big crowds here
every day is now assured, so if you want
to see all of your friends make your ar-
rangements for a full week’s stay.
HOPE HOSE WILL BE HERE IN STATE.
Hope Hose company, of Lock Haven,
at a meeting held Tuesday night of this
week, made final arrangements to par-
ticipate in the big parade on Monday,
July 5th, at the Old Home week cele-
bration. ]
They have engaged the “crack” Lock-
port band of that city to accompany
them. The firemen also decidedto bring
their modern fire truck along. It will be
sent overland from Lock Haven, and will
arrive in this place sometime Sunday
afternoon, July 4th. It will be drawn by
their own pair of “Millionaire Kids.” Bob
and Perch, which is as fine a team of
trained fire horses as can be found in
this section of the State, both dapple
greys, and will be in charge of their
veteran driver, John C. Barrett.

drawn fire apparatus and the equipment

1st the Basket Shop, one of Bellefonte’s
small though certainly her most unique
and refined industry, is to close indefi-
nitely. We are imformed that the short-
age of reed from which the baskets are
made, due to the impossibility of impor-
tation on account of the war, is the
cause. :
The Shop has employed steadily about
twenty young women at splendid wages.
In it artistic temperament, finesse and
intellectuality counted most in making
for proficiency, because the products are
all of original design and coloring and
initiative among the workers was very
needful.
In the few years it has been in exist-
ence the Basket Shop has won world"
wide recognition, especially among arts
and crafters, as having produced the
most perfect and most artistic hand-made
baskets known.
After July 1st and until such time as
the Shop reopens Miss Wetzel and Mr.
Lane will be the only employees retained.
Mr. Lane will look after the sale of the
stock on hand and Miss Wetzel will con-
tinue her work dyeing.
