lis military academy. :
——On Friday afternoon Mr. Monroe
Armor lost six dollars on the street be-
tween the Brockerhoff house and the
Centre County bank, and although he re-
traced his steps immediately the money
had evidently been picked up by some
one who so far has made no effort to dis-
cover the loser.

ing, April 14th, when the star attraction

tle Cry of Peace,” or a call to arms
against war. A wonderfully realistic
war drama that will highly entertain and
enlighten you. Shown at the Scenic
April 11 and 12, morning, afternoon and
evening. This big spectacle will hold
your attention, for more than two hours,
and will thrice startle and surprise you.
——In another part of today’s paper
will be found a proclamation by Burgess
Edmund Blanchard regarding the ob-
servance of tomorrow (Saturday) as tag
day for the relief of the Belgian suffer-
ers. The burgess explains the object
very fully but he failed to state that when
you are tagged tomorrow don’t offer the
tagger anything less than seven cents.
That is the exact amount it takes to
keep a Belgian one day, and that is the
minimum sum the taggers hopelto be
given. Of course you can give as much
more as you like.
PROCEEDINGS OF BOROUGH COUNCIL.—
Every member was present at the regu-
mosphere of the council chamber was
naturally the newspaper men present
— | scented a good story. Council was open- Filent of the church on Thursday even-
ed with the usual proceeding by presi-
dent Walker and Secretary Kelly read
—Only two more weeks until Eas- | the minutes of the previous meeting as ——Members of the Free Methodist
: | clearly and concise as ever before. When | church at Unionville last week tendered
he concluded Dr. Brockerhoff arose to a
point of order and personal privilege, but
what he said later must keep until after
the next meeting of council, because the
press was effectively muzzled prior to
adjournment of council and some very
vital interests being at stake the ‘press
stood for the muzzle.
Under the head of routine business
Secretary Kelly read a letter from the
State Highway Department acknowledg-
ing the receipt of the agreements rela-
tive to the state-aid route on south Wa-'
ter street. >
A communication was received from
the Civic club relative to flushing the
brick paved streets the coming summer,
stating that in past years it had cost in
the neighborhood of sixty dollars to do
the work, practically all the money for
which had been solicited and collected by
the ladies. And inasmuch assaid flush-
ing was a benefit to the entire town the
ladies would appreciate any help coun-
cil saw fit to give. Permission to do the
flushing was granted and council voted
the club an appropriation of five dollars
a month for five months.
A letter was received from John M,
Keichline stating that he was unable
to get the water rent from the Belle-
fonte Gas and Steam Heating company
and giving the amount now due the
borough as $690.12, exclusive of the first
quarter of 1916; asking instructions as to
what he should do. On motion Secretary
Kelly was instructed to notify the com-
pany that if the amount was not paid or
satisfactorily arranged for the water
would be turned off within twenty-four
hours.
The Street committee reported log-
dragging Linn and Howard streets.
The Water committee, preferred the
request of George Doll for an extension
of the water service to hLis artificial ice
plant south of town so that he could use
spring water for his ice. Wallace Mar-
kle also asked that the water be extend-
ed up Pike alley to his property, a dis-
tance of about 350 feet. Both requests
were referred to the Water committee.
The Finance committee reported that
$350 had recently been paid on tax liens
and there was a balance in the treasury
of $234.78... The committee also asked
for the renewal of three notes, for $1,
500, $1,000 and $630 for one year from
April 7th and a new note for $600 for six
months from April 5th, all of which were
authorized.
Regarding the requests for new lights
Dr. Brockerhoff suggested securing the
services of Charles Kinsloe, of State Col-
lege, for one evening to go around the
town and inspect the present lighting
system, then do as he says; otherwise
council would be continually bothered
by some one wanting a light at a certain
place. Dr. Brockerhoff also stated that
the State-Centre Electric company was
ready to paint the electric light poles as
soon as council designates the color they
would like to have them. As nobody
seemed ready to suggest a suitable color
the matter was referred to the Special
committee.
The ‘Water committee reported the
receipt of $12.50 from the Bellefonte
Engineering company for scrap iron pur-
chased by them.
After approving bills to the amount of
approximately $1,050 council adjourned.

people, that they do their share in this
needful benefit. Being conducted as a
tag day, no flag will be sold under seven
cents, the price of a day's food for a
Belgian, the flags to be worn both Sat.
urday and Sunday, when this birthday |
benefit will be observed in all the
churches. Do not go on the street Sat- |
urday without your seven cents and if
possible seven times seven, and then you
are only giving one person food for a
week. : oy of]
——A rather valuable collection. of |
furs is on exhibition this week in the
window of Montgomery & Co’s clothing
store. It includes the pelt of a polar
bear, snow white, of course, and with fur
as soft as silk. The pelt measures nine
feet from tip to tip and perhaps a better
idea of its size can be had from the fact
that the animal when killed weighed
an even ton. The pelt is valued at $200.
In the collection are a dozen or more
ermine pelts, a white fox pelt and ‘a mix-
ed fox pelt. There is also a walrus tusk
that is estimated to be several hundred
years old. ‘The collection was loaned to
Montgomery & Co., by W. B. VanValin
who brought it east with him ten days
ago when he and his brother Raymond
came for a visit to their old home at
Unionville. William VanValin with his
wife and little daughter are residents of
Turlock Cai., but they spent four years
at Point Barrow, on the northernmost
boundary line of Alaska, and it was while
there that he acquired the skins now in
his collection. .
To-night the bill |.
CENTRE CoUNTY DEBATING TEAM
CHOSEN.—An interesting inter-county de-
bate was held in the court house last
Saturday morning for the purpose of
selecting the team to represent Centre
county at the district meeting of the Cen-
tral Pennsylvania debating league to be
held either in Williamsport or Altoona
the latter part of this month. There
were nine contestants in the three debat-
ing teams, from Bellefonte, State College
and Boalsburg respectively. Supervising
principal Jonas E. Wagner presided and
music was furnished by the Bellefonte
High school band and orchestra. The
question debated was as follows:
Resolved, That peace will be pest pro-
moted by general preparedness on the
part of all the great powers.
The judges were Prof. J. H. Frizzell, of
State College; R. K. Raper, principal of
the Tyrone High school, and H. C. Roth-
rock, of Port Matilda. They named as
their first selection Miles Thomas, a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Dison Thomas, of Shin-
gletown; second, Lee Frazier, a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Foster Frazier, of Spring
Mills, and third, Ray Durst, a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Cyrus Durst, of Boalsburg.
The two latter are students of the Belle-
fonte High school.
, The Central Pennsylvania debating
league is composed of twenty-two coun-
ties in the State and is divided into four
districts. Each county will be represent-
ed with a team of three debators in the
district meeting at which time a team
will be selected to take part in the gen-
eral debate which will be held at State
College the latter part of May. The dis-
trict debate of which Centre county is a
part if held in Williamsport will be en-
tertained by the Board of Trade, and if
held in Altoona by the Chamber of Com-
merce.

well known fact that they have traveled

Superior court to have. the judgment of

have been surprised to have found him: in a bad
humor. He was quite the reverse. But then you
know Mr. Keller has been a rural mail carrier

less, didn’t disturb him at all. ;
