MILLIONS OF TREES TO BE PLANTED
THIS SPRING.—Planting plans approved
by the Department of Forestry for the
State forests in Centre county contem-
plate using almost half a million trees
‘this spring. Every tree will be supplied
by the Department’s own nurseries.
The species and quantities to be used
in this county are as follows: 375,000
white pine, 20,000 Scotch pine, 20,000
pitch pine, 50,000 Norway spruce, and
4,500 European larch, a total of 469,500.
About 250,000 white pine, and 50,000
Norway spruce will be used on the Buffalo
forest,in Haines township. The remainder
will be planted on the Nittany forest, in
Spring township.
In most of the plantations the trees
. will be set four or five feet apart -each
way. This means that from 2,000 to
2,700 trees per acre will be planted, and
that Centre county’s plantations this year
will cover about 200 acres. This close
spacing is necessary to form a dense
shade and ground cover quickly. It also
makes the trees grow more rapidly in
height, and provides for early money re-
turns from thinning the stand.
The allotments of trees for the other
counties in which State forests are located
are as follows: Cameron, 334,300; Clear-
field, 274,000; Clinton, 530,600; Cumber-
land, 271,500; Elk, 82,000; Franklin, 100-,
C00; Huntingdon, 73,000; Lycoming, 113,-
000; Potter, 1,923,900; Somerset, 310,000;
Tioga, 433,000; Union, 255,000. Including
Centre county’s allotment, this makes a
total of 5,169,800 trees to be used for re-
forestation on the State forests this year.
In addition to this, from 1,000,000 to
1,500,000 trees will be distributed to pri-
vate individuals who will use them for
reforesting.

A LEWISTOWN TO BELLEFONTE TROL-
LEY.—During the past month or more
there has been considerable talk at State
College about trolley connections from
that town with points east, and now
comes additional information in the fol-
lowing dispatch sent out from Lewistown
on Monday:
Preliminary surveys are now under
way for the probable extension of the
Lewistown & Reedsville electric railway
from the Reedsville terminal, located six
miles to the north of here, across the
Seven mountains via Milroy, Potter's
Mills and Bellefonte to State College.
This project was under consideration
a decade ago to provide a profitable
market for the electric power manufac-
tured at the hydro-electric plant at War-
rior Ridge where the Juniata river has
been dammed and harnessed to turbines
at a cost of several millions of dollars in
which the promoters of this company
hold at least a controlling interest. This
plant is said to have proved a mortgage
in futures, at least until the people of
the valley could be educated to the use
of electricity as a power for all purposes.
The new line would cross the Seven
mountains, following the old stage line
as closely as possible,a distance of thirty-
two miles through the most beautifully
rugged scenery to be found anywhere
east of the Rocky mountains, in lieu of
three times the distance via steam road
via Tyrone as is now found necessary.
Bellefonte, made famous by its War
Governor and again near the site of the
new penitentiary, would be the western
terminal with a branch up to the big col-
lege town, with a large pleasure park
and health resort in the heart of the
Seven mountains and the length and
breadth of the Juniata valley as feeders,
the new line would find a steadily grow-
ing patronage to draw from.
A FEW MORE MoVINGS.—William Groh
Runkle has rented the C. M. Bower home
on east Linn street and with Mrs.
Runkle will go to housekeeping there
within the next few days.
Mrs. E. C. Tuten hasrented the Mingle
house on north Spring street, near the
steam heat works and moved there this
week, intending to take boarders and
roomers.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Thomas Mitchell
moved to the Brockerhoff house yes-
terday, where they will be located in-
definitely.
William Hoffman, the baker who is in
charge of Mrs. Ceader’s new model
bakery, moved his household goods and
family from Lock Haven to Bellefonte
this week and will occupy the McRermott
house on east Bishop street. Mr. Hoff-
man comes to Bellefonte with a reputa-
tion of being some chicken fancier, as
well as a good baker, and has taken a
number of blue ribbons in poultry shows.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gross have
given up their residence on Reynolds
avenue and moved to Axe Mann where
they will live with Mr. Gross’ sister, Miss
Mame Gross, in the old homestead.
Harry Wilkinson from the Steele house
on Pine street to the Curtin house on
Curtin street, Mr. and Mrs. Walters to
take the house they vacate.
George Waite Jr. moved with his fami-
ly to Renovo the beginning of the week.
——Jacob Gross is confined to his
home on Bishop street suffering with
badly sprained ankles. Mr. Gross’ first
accident occurred two weeks ago and
since that time he has been unable to be
at his place of business, however, it is in
competent hands and all work will be
promptly and satisfactorily looked after.

At Nesbit the train stopped and Miller
got off the engine for the purpose of
throwing a switch. Before he could do
so however No. 38, a passenger train run-
ning between Harrisburg and Renovo,
came along and struck him, killing him
instantly. Nobody saw the accident and
it was not until the passenger train pass-
ed and a search was made for Miller
that his body was found lying between
the tracks. Life was extinct, so that his
death must have been instantaneous.
The remains were taken to Williamsport
where they were prepared for burial and
on Saturday evening they were brought
to Bellefonte and taken to the home of
the unfortunate man’s brother, J. Ed-
ward Miller, on east Howard street.
Mr. Miller was a son of Charles W.
and Sarah Ann Miller and was born in
Bellefonte on June 14th, 1885, hence at
his death was aged 30 years, 9 months
and 10 days. All of his life was spent in
Bellefonte until he went to work for the
railroad company several years ago. He
was a member of the Loyal Order of the
Moose, of the Pennsylvania Railroad Re-
lief Association and the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen. On December 1st,
1904, he was united in marriage to Miss
Mary E. Stine who survives with three
children, Charles W., Helen and Edward
Miller, all of Sunbury, where the family
made their home. He also leaves his
mother, living in this place, and the fol-
lowing brother and sisters: Mrs. J. T.
Gordon, of Bellefonte; Mrs. George W.
Eckley, of Altoona; J. Edward and Miss
Sarah Miller, of Bellefonte.
The funeral was held at ten o’clock on
Monday morning. Dr. E. H. Yocum offi-
ciated and burial was made in the Union
cemetery. A delegation of railroaders
from Sunbury attended the funeral.
Wasnt M. Swath one of the
best known residents of Linden Hall, died
at the home of Harry McClellan, near
Tusseyville, at six o'clock last Friday
morning, after only five days illness with
pneumonia. Mr. Swabb was at the Mc-
Clellan home assisting in getting the
stock and implements ready for a public
sale when he caught a cold which rapidly
developed into pneumonia. His condi-
tion grew worse so rapidly that he was
unable to be moved, and he realized that
his time had come.
Deceased was a son of George and
Mary Bell Swabb and was born at Reeds-
ville, Mifflin county on February 11th,
1853, being at his death 63 years, 1 month
and 13 days old. When a boy his par-
ents moved to Potter township and en-
gaged in farming and it was there he
grew to manhood. His father served a
term as County Commissioner and dur-
ing that time much of the management
of the farm devolved upon William. Later
the latter took up his residence at Lin-
den Hall where the balance of his life
was spent. He was a good citizen and
for many years served as road supervisor
of Harris township.
He is survived by two children, Harry
of Cleveland, Ohio, and Mrs. John
Leepard, of Bloomsburg. He also leaves
three brothers, John C., of Erie; Frank
H., of Pine Grove Mills, and James W.,
of Linden Hall. The funeral was held at
eleven o’clock on Monday morning. Rev.
S. C. Stover, of the Reformed church,

man he went to work at the iron works
at Curtin and learned to be a forgeman,
an occupation he followed many years.

IN KINDLY REMEMBRANCE.—Following
is a Minute adopted by the First Nation-
al bank of Bellefonte, March 20th, 1916:
The Board of Directors of the First National
bank of Bellefonte has heard with sincere sorrow
of the deathon March 19th, of Mr. CheyneyK.
Hicklen, its valued and efficient assistant cash-
ier.
Mr. Hicklen’s long term of service, covering
a period of twenty-eight years, was marked by
conscientious devotion to duty, by intelligent and
efficient work and by faithfulness and untiring
efforts to further the interests of the institution.
His wide acquaintance among the bank’s pa-
trons, his courtesy and kindlinessas well as his
thorough trustworthiness, contributed to his suc-
cess as;an officer of the bank.
We desire to record our appieciation of his
long and faithful service and to testify to his
worth, and in transmitting a copy of this minute
to his family to express our sympathy in their
bereavement.
The}Bellefonte High school orches-
tra will give a concert in the town hall
at Milesburg this (Friday) evening.
This orchestra, by the way, is gaining
quite a reputation as a musicial organ-
ization. Early in the winter they went
over to Centre Hall and furnished music
for an entertainment, receiving a sub-
stantial sum; for their services in addi-
tion to expenses. The money was ex-
pended by Prof. Weik in purchasing uni-
forms for the members, consisting of red
coats and white trousers for the boys and
red coats and white skirts for the girls,
so that they now make a splendid appear-
ance in public. Their concert in Miles-
burg tonight, therefore, will be a treat
-vorth hearing.

To MODERNIZE THE HIGH SCHOOL.
lieve that the traditional course of study
that is usually given in the typical High
school, falls far short of furnishing those
elements of training that the average
girl will most need in life. Such a belief
is especially fostered when it is known
‘that about ninety per cent of the girls
will become identified in one relation or
apother with the home as their life
career. If homemaking, then, becomes
the chief interest of the great majority
of women, the question naturally arises,
is the public school system doing as much
as it might to give the girls a form of
training that will function to the great-
est advantage in their after lives? The
answer seems decidedly in the negative,
"It may well be asked to what extent
does geometry, one of the stand-bys of
the past, furnish a girl with that type of
education that will help to solve some of
the household problems that she is bound
to face. Does any one believe that two
or three years spent on algebra will mean
more to the average girl than the same
amount of time and energy spent on
learning the art of preparing food that is
both appetizing and nourishing, and has |
becn economically purchased? Or, will
any one grant that a superficial knowl.
edge of foreign languages, such as the
average High school girl must be content
to have, means more to her than a
knowledge of furnishing a home with
taste, or the understanding ,to a degree
of how to care for the young life that
may bless her home some day?
Such problems as these are constantly
facing a school board for solution. In
common with many organizations of like
nature in other sections, the schocl board
of Bellefonte has aimed to keep in the
forefront of educational advance by
noting the significant trends in public
school education of the day. The most
recent action of the board illustrates this
attitude. Ata special meeting held a
few weeks ago, negotiations were made
with the Vocational Bureau of the State
Department of Public Instruction to es-
tablish a thorough course in household
arts, or the art of homemaking. Such a
course has now been arranged, and will
be offered to the girls who enter the
High school next September. The char-
acter of the course may be noted from
the following outline, the figures indi-
cating the periods a week given to the
different subjects:

It will be noted
four years of the course,
shall be given to the so-called academic |
subjects, while the remaining portion is
to confine itself to the practical subjects
pertaining to the home.
It may be stated that the equipment
and requirements will be of a very high
standard, as the State will assume a
great part of the additional cost, provid-
ed certain regulations are complied with.
The school board has entered into an
agreement to carry out the requirements
as formulated. A teacher specially train-
ed for such work, and one of approved
experience in community service, will be
secured to take charge of the new de-
partment.
While provision of the character just
noted has been made for the girls who
desire such training, it will be opportune
to state that the other courses are also
in processs of revision. The general
course will follow the lines of the tradi-
tional academic program, which aims
through the stressing of such subjects as
Latin, German, history, science, and the
mathematics to furnish the elements of
a so-called cultural training. The pur-
suance of this schedule will give a gen-
eral preparation for life, or for college.
Next year this course will be liberalized
to such an extent that subjects such as
geometry will be made elective. The
commercial course will also be strength-
ened, and will aim to furnish such train-
ing as will meet the demands of the cler-
ical positions available to pupils of the
best High schools.
Hence it is believed by the school
board that practically every provision
has been made for the administration of
High school courses of such a diversified
character as will meet the most exacting
demands of an up-to-date community.

! JUDGE QUIGLEY GRANTS PETITION FOR
REHEARING IN LONG LICENSE.—On Fri-
day of last week Judge Henry C. Quigley
handed down his decision on the appli-
cation of Clarence E. Long for a rehear-
ing of his license application in which he
made the rule absolute and granted a
hearing de novo.
In his opinion the court set forth the
statement of the petitioner that at the
time of the regular license court he was
unable on account of “illness” to be pres-
ent all the time or to personally procure
the necessary witnesses to offset the
claims of the remonstrants. The court
also took issue with the respondents on
the question of non-jurisdiction because
the matter had been finally disposed of
| by his predecessor in office. He further
| cited as a precedent the fact that on at
least one occasion his predecessor in
office had reversed himself without even
giving either side a chance for a rehear-
ing.
On Saturday W. D. Zerby Esq. attor-
ney for the respondents; filed an excep-
tion to the court’s decision which was
duly noted and a bill sealed for the re-
spondents.
THE LICENSE GRANTED.
On Tuesday the court named yester-
day morning at 10 o’Clock for the time
for a hearing. When the time came
landlord Long was present with from fif-
teen to twenty witnesses but the respond-
ents were not represented, even by coun-
sel. Mr. Long testified that a license
was essential to conducting a good hotel
and some eight or ten citizens of Rebers-
burg and Miles township gave testimony
in his behalf. As there was no opposi-
tion the court granted the license with-
out leaving the bench.

branches of club work undertaken by
the women throughout the county,
developing an interest in co-operative
work, which must result in the better-
ment of every community represented.

THE PROBLEM OF SAVING PAPER.
—Last week the WATCHMAN urged all of
its readers to save paper scraps of every
kind, in the way of a beginning towards
conservation.
Since publishing that little notice we
have had inquiry from at least twenty-
five persons who want to know where it
can be disposed of. We had no idea
that the response would be so quick so
that we had no definite plan of sale to
suggest.
The WATCHMAN is working on a plan
now that will be explained later. Mean-
while save your paper because it is daily
becoming more valuable. When we ad-
vised saving last week mixed papers
were worth 40cts. per cwt. Now we are
able to quote the following prices:
Clean baled mixed papers 50cts. per cwt.
Flat folded newspapers 60 cts. per cwt.
Magazines & Books in bundles 70 cts. per cwt.
These prices were offered the WATCH-
MAN yesterday by the Schmidt & Ault
Paper Co., of York, Pa. If you have
enough to make a single shipment you
might write this firm. If not hold it and
later the WATCHMAN will announce a
place and date where quantities can be
assembled in order to make up car load
lots.
We expect no remuneration or com-
mission for this service. We have sug-
