In addition to those in the periodical three have been published in a book of songs for chil- dren, used in the primary grades’ of all schools, an additional compliment to Miss Fitzgerald, who no doubt now will be persuaded to use this great gift for child life work, in which music is so es- sential. CENTRE LopGE No. 153, I. 0. O. F,, | CELEBRATED ANNIVERSARY. -— Centre’ Lodge Nu. 153, I. O. O. F. of Bellefonte, | celebrated the seventieth anniversary of | its institution on Wednesday evening | with a banquet in the lodge rooms in | Crider’s stone building which was attend- | ed by over three hundred people, inciud- : ing Odd Fellows, Rebekahs and invited ' guests. It was probably the largest erowd that has attended an anniversary ban- quet in years. The arrangements were | so complete and perfect that almost on ! the minute David Miller, master of cere- monies, requested the large assemblage to rise and stand while Rev. C. W. Winey pronounced a brief invocation. A dozen or more white aproned young men, members of the Lodge, acted in the capacity of volunteer waiters and not a man, woman or child present was over- looked. It took almost two hours to serve the crowd, but the time did not seem nearly so long owing to the en- trancing music of the lodge orchestra of eight pieces under the leadership of Wil- lis E. Wion. When every guest had been served David Miller, in the capacity of toastmaster, said he was glad to see so many members present on such an au- spicious occasion and introduced J. Ken- nedy Johnston as the first speaker. Mr. Johnston spoke briefly and while he made no attempt to give a history of the Lodge he stated for the benefit of all that while they had been unfortunate in losing a few members during the past year by death, they had gained a large number of new members, so that the net growth showed a greater percentage than in any previous year. In introducing James H. Potter Mr, Miller stated that he couldn’t understand why he wasn’t a member of the Lodge, whether it was because he was too proud to join or not proud enough. In respond- ing Mr. Potter stated that it wasn’t a question of pride with him, but mostly lack of consideration. That most of the men working for the Potter-Hoy Hard- ware company belonged and through them he knew of the good work the Lodge did. Rev. C. W. Winey, of Altoona, gave quite a lengthy talk on “The Future of Odd Fellowship.”” The reverend’s dis- sertation was not only beautiful through- out but pictured in eloquent terms the great work of love and charity that was the true foundation of the order. He predicted that as long as there is sick- ness and death, sorrow and trouble there will be need for the good offices of such an order. Jacob Hoy gave a rather humorous recitation entitled “Kickers,’’ S. D. Gettig made a brief speech and Mrs. Jacob Hoy and Mrs. Charles Keichline talked on the Rebekahs. The entertainment commit- tee, consisted of Harry Murtoff, chair- man; Arthur Dale, David Barlett and H. F. Whiting. Centre Lodge was instituted on Febru- ary 23rd, 1846. It was carried on with more or less success for ten years then surrendered its charter. Eleven years later the charter was reissued and the Lodge re-instituted and it has been suc- cessful ever since. It now has 240 mem- bers and the Lodge of Rebekahs has over one hundred members. There are forty-eight Past Masters of the Lodge. Centre Lodge will be the host on April 26th of the Central Pennsylvania district association at its annual reunion. OLD SOLDIER’S LIFE RECORDS WANTED. —Away back in 1891 ex-Governor An- drew G. Curtin, the Brockerhoff Bros., D. H. Hastings, John P. Harris, James A. Fiedler, Gen. James A. Beaver, David M. Lieb, James Harris, A. O. Furst and Daniel Rhoads presented to Gregg Post a specially engraved book in which to enter the records of all members of Gregg Post, as well as all old soldiers who cared to have their records in the book. The book was placed in charge of the late Roland C. Irvin, who inscribed the records of upwards of one hundred old soldiers, charging a fee of five dol" lars. Since his death the work" has been allowed to lapse and the book is incom- plete. Recently Col. Emanuel Noll was ap- pointed historian for Gregg Post and he is now interested in obtaining the his- tory and records of as many old soldiers as possible. He has already indexed the book so far as it is filled and has already secured a number of records to enter therein. Col. Noll is not doing the work to make money. He asks only the small fee of one dollar, half of which will be given to the Post, while the other half will hardly cover the cost of the expense that he will be at. He is especially interested in doing the work, however, in order to get together as complete a record as possible of all the brave men who served in the Civil war from Centre county. And, as the book is quite large, he would also like to have the records of all who served in the Spanish-American war. When the work is complete it is the intention of the Post to present it to the Bellefonte Lodge of Elks for safe keep- ing along with the other priceless relics they now have in their Curtin room on the second floor of their Lodge. There it will not only be a priceless heirloom to hundreds but will be open to the pub- lic at all times for securing information relative to any of the records entered therein. Inasmuch as Col. Noll is taking such a great interest in the matter he would ap- preciate it if all old soldiers whose names and records are not already in the book will see him as soon as possible and ar- range to have their record entered also. ——Union county was scheduled for the dry column last Friday when Judge’ Albert M. Johnson, with the two assc- ciate judges concurring, refused the only two applications for licenses, those at the Cameron and Baker houses, Lewisburg, on the grounds of “no necessity.” Con-! siderable testimony was taken both for and against the applications. >oo ——The American people like to be: | entertained and amused and there is no place in Bellefonte where they can get the two combined so pleasantly as at the Scenic. Its nightly programs of moving pictures are all that can be desired by the most exacting, and manager T. Clayton Brown is now making arrange- ments to still further improve his serv- ice. Watch for the real war pictures to be shown there in the near future. ——Robert Morris has embarked in the manufacture of “Lime-0,” and as soon as he can secure the necessary in- gredients expects to put it on the market as fast as possible. “Lime-0” is really the material from which lime water can be quickly and satisfactorily made at home by simply dropping a sufficient quantity of “Lime-O” into water. Mr. Morris has established headquart- ers for the present in the Pruner block on Allegheny street. ——Shortly after nine o’clock on Mon- day evening the home of Green Shope, about a mile northwest of Mt. Eagle, was entirely destroyed by fire. The fire origi- nated in the kitchen, presumably from the cook stove. The members of the family had gone to bed and by the time they discovered the fire the flames had gained such headway that they could do little but escape with their lives; not even having time to get any extra clothes. The loss is about $2,000, on which Mr. Shope had $1,500 insurance. ——The stockholders of the Centre and Kishacoquillas Turnpike company this week notified Highway Commissioner R. J. Cunningham that they would ac- cept the offer of $17,615 for the 7.9 miles of turnpike between Bellefonte and Cen- tre Hall. When this pike is taken over by the State it will leave but one toll gate in Centre county, and that in the Nar- rows on the road from Millheim to Rebersburg. But if that road is always kept in as good shape as it has been in the past nobody will kick on paying toll there. . Sey re ——On Wednesday noon as postmaster Harry C. Valentine and district attorney James C. Furst were on their way to din- ner Mr. Valentine had a severe attack of vertigo -and acute indigestion on the school house pavement and would have fallen had it not been for Mr. Furst, ho caught him. A conveyance was prompt- ly secured and Mr. Valentine removed to his home. While he has been a pretty sick man he was considered past the danger point yesterday and his family and friends have the encouragement of a permanent recovery. ——Mrs. Russell, who will open the Study Class with a lecture in the court house next Tuesday evening on the war situation in Europe, is only recently from abroad and will come here with first- hand knowledge, so that her lecture will be a real statementof facts as she knows them to exist. Though no admission will be charged an offering will be lifted for the benefit of the war sufferers. The date of Mrs. Russell’s lecture at State College has been changed from Monday evening to Thursday evening of next week, at 7.30 o’clock, in the old chapel. —— McAllister scholarships at The Pennsylvania State College will be award- ed this year to the students from Camer- on, Centre, Clinton, Forest and Juniata counties. These five counties show the highest ratio of students enrolled in the college to the population of the county. The scholarships are worth $90 in cash, and are valid for one year. To select the candidates for the scholarships, High school principals and county superinten- dents in each county will conduct com- petitive examinations in the following branches: Algebra to quadratics, plane geometry, English grammar, English clas- sics, United States history and civil government. The appointments will be made before June 1st. These scholar- ships were the gifts of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Hayes. To EXTEND CALL FOR NEW PASTOR. —Though the members were almost frozen out of the church on Sunday morning the congregation of the Presby- terian church managed to stay there long enough to hold a congregational meeting and vote to extend a call to the Rev. William K. McKinney, of Danville, to be- come their pastor. A vote was first taken on the question of asking Rev. McKinney to be a candidate and it resulted in 126 ayes and 27 nays. With this preponder- ance of the congregation favorable to the Danville minister a vote was taken to extend him a call, and it was made unanimous. The call carries with it a salary of $2,000, parsonage free, etc. William B. Rankin, representing the elders, and F. H. Thomas, representing the trustees, were chosen commissioners to extend the call to Rev. McKinney, and if accepted, to represent the church in the proper proceedings in the two Presby- teries necessary for a change of pastorates. The Bellefonte church has been without a regular pastor since the resignation and departure of Dr. George E. Hawes last September to become pastor of the Market Square Presbyterian church, Harrisburg. LONG PETITIONS POR A REHEARING ON LICENSE APPLICATION.—On Friday of last week Clarence E. Long, proprietor of the Rebersburg hotel, through his attorney, W. Harrison Walker, Esq., filed a peti- tion for a rehearing on his application for a liquor license for the year 1916, and the court granted a rule returnable on the first Monday in March. Mr. Long's was one of the seven licenses refused by Judge Orvis when he handed down his final decisions on the evening of January first. Landlord Long is the man who, during last fall’s campaign, created somewhat of a sensation by preferring some startling charges against men who were working in’the interest of Judge Orvis’ candidacy, i but that question was never brought up in his license hearing. At that time a number of men appeared in open court and gave testimony -against Mr. Long, and it was on this testimony, no doubt, that Judge Orvis refused the license. While his petition now for a rehearing is somewhat unusual itis not without precedent in a way. In the spring of 1914 Judge Orvis, when he handed down his first famous opinion refused the ap- plications for license for the Ramsdale house, Philipsburg, and the Sandy Ridge hotel, even going so far as to mark them refused. Subsequently, at the solicitation of the attorneys for the applicants both licenses were granted, and that without even the formality of a rehearing. Air. Long's application for a rehearing also opens up a possible avenue for a petition for a rehearing from every one of the seven men refused by Judge Orvis, although it is not now known that any others will take advantage of it. DEEMER PIERCE ELECTED SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES—Late Wednes- day afternoon Deemer Pierce, of State College, was elected sealer of weights and measures for Centre county by the County Commissioners. It was a long drawn out contest. All told there were between eighty-five and ninety candi- dates for the position, though the leading applicants were Mr. Pierce, J.” M. Cun- ningham and J. Frank Smith, of Belle- fonte, as stated in last week’s WATCH- MAN. At their session last Thursday the Commissioners cast one hundred ballots without any result. At a session held Friday morning twenty-six more ballots were cast. Wednesday afternoon they again met in special session and cast fifteen more ballots without getting to- gether. Such fruitless balloting evidently grew tiresome, so they discussed the matter from various standpoints and finally agreed that each one should vote his - second choice on the next ballot. They did so on the 142nd ballot Commissioners Noll and Miller voted for Pierce and Grove for Edward Markle, of Hublers- burg. The result was Pierce’s election. which was later made unaminous. Mr. Pierce is a man about forty years of age and is a good reliable man. He at one time was engaged in the mercantile business at the College and is well quali- fied to fill the position. The sealer of weights and measures in Centre county is entitled to a salary of $1,000 per year and expenses. The outfit of weights and testing instruments necessary to carry on the work will cost anywhere from $250 to $350. The law provides no limit to the term of office. CENTRE COUNTY EX-SHERIFFS, DEPUTY SHERIFFS AND SHERIFFESSES BANQUET. — On Washington's birthday, 1910, the sheriff of Centre county with all the ex- sheriffs and many of the ex-deputys held a banquet at the Haag hotel and organ- ized the Ex-Sheriff’s association of Cen- tre county. Every year since they have banquetted on Washington's birthday and on Tuesday the annual gathering was held at the Country club. But the gentlemen made a new departure this year by inviting the sheriffesses (their wives) to partake of the feast with them and it proved a very delightful innova- tion. Those present were ex-Sheriffs Daniel W. Woodringt W. M. Cronister, Henry Kline and Mrs. Kline, W..E. Hurley and Mrs. Hurley, Col. H. S. Taylor and Mrs. Taylor and W. Miles Walker. The ex- deputies included W. D. Dukeman, of Winburne and W. C. Rowe, of Bellefonte. Sheriff George H. Yarnell was unable to be present but the office was represented by Mrs. Yarnell, deputy sheriff H. G. Kline and Miss Barbara Levi. One of the faces familiar at all previous gather- ings that was missed at this one was that of the late Benjamin F. Schaeffer. Of course the dinner was all that any- one could desire and those present “ate, drank and were merry.” At the conclu- sion of the repast D. W. Woodring, as president of the asociation, all the} old officers having heenf{re-elected, acted as toastmaster and gave the men a chance to talk. Brief speeches were made by a number of those present, after which W. D. Dukeman created a diversion by giv- ing a somewhat ludicrous genealogical history of the members of the associa- tion. Mr. Dukeman also made brief re- ference to two members of the associa- tion who died during the year. The gathering adjourned in time to return home on the 9.40 train. ——Clair Gates, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira V. Gates, of Gatesburg, was taken to the Danville hospital yesterday morning for treatment. Some time ago he had a severe attack of the grip and while he recovered his strength it left him quite weak-minded, and upon the advice of his physician he was taken to Danville by his father.

Runkle was in Bellefonte on Tues- day getting some large bills for the big horse sale to be held at Centre Hall next Monday.

Miles, of Hus- ton township, was a business visitor in Bellefonte on Tuesday and now that he is once more in fairly robust health he was dealing’ out gratui- tous advice with a lavish waste of words: and, of course, his main suggestion was to get out in the country, as if Bellefonte wasn’t country enough for anybody. Of course everybody don’t have Mr. Miles’ luck. Only about a year ago all his friends were deploring his critical condition but now he is fit asa saw log, and only recently a wreck on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad dumped eighty-seven tons of coal so close to his coal bin that the railroad company thought it a pity to take it away and sold it to him for a dollar a ton. —Miss Lyde Miller, of Philadelphia, has been visiting in Bellefonte, a guest of her father, Rob- ert Miller. ’ —Barber Harvey Gingher went to Bellwood on Monday where he has secured a good position in a Bellwood shop. —While in Williamsport for a short visit last week, Mrs. Charles Cruse was a guest of her sis- ter, Mrs. Maitland. —Miss Anne Keichline has been in Philadel phia during the past week, having gone east Sat- urday on a business trip. —Boynton Daggett accompanied Miss Carpen- ter to Elmira Monday, for a visit with Miss Helen Boynton and her mother. =] ames S.
