THEY BELONG TO THE “GENUS SCIARA.—Last week the WATCHMAN called attention to a plague of worms which ‘have been bothering the good women of Linn street the past fort- night or more, and which they believed to be army worms because of their crawl- ing in snake-like, massed formation. To find out just what the worms were Miss Margaret H. Cook wrote to the United States Department of Agriculture, enclosing a sample of the worms and the following is the reply she received: ? WASHINGTON, July 29. Dear Madam: Your letter of July 27th addressed to Doctor L. O. Howard, Chief of this Bureau, has been referred to this office for attention. The specimens which you submit appear to be the larvae or maggots of one of the fungous gnats belonging to the Genus Sciaia. These maggots have the habit of mass- ing together and marching in snake- like masses, just as you describe. They are not injurious to grass so far as known and will disappear presently with- out harming anything. In case you wish to kill them, pouring hot water on them is about as simple and effective a meth- od of eradication as we could recom-. mend. Weare very glad indeed to re- ceive your information in relation to these insects as such a great abundance of them is a very unusual occurrence. W. R. WALTON, (Acting) In Charge Cereal and Forage Insect Investigations. After receiving the above Miss Cook referred to one of her books on entom- ology and feund a complete reference to the above. The book stated that they fed on mushrooms, or any vegetable matter of a mushroom growth and were entirely harmless on the lawn or in the garden. Their most striking peculiarity is their mode of traveling twisted in ropes as thick as a man’s finger and any- where from eighteen inbhes to thr feet long. : CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.—Luella Musser, the four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Howard Musser, of State College, was so badly burned last Thurs- day afternoon when her clothing caught fire from burning paper that she died about 7.30 o’clock in the evening. The child had been playing in her father’s store where the painters were at work. The latter gave her some paper to play with and taking it she crossed the street to the house, got some matches and went out in the yard into burn the paper. Her clothing caught fire and although neighbors rushed to her and at once ex- tinguished the flames she was so badly burned that death ensued several hours later. In addition to her parents she is sur- -vived by one sister and a brother, Elea- nore and Clay, both at home. The fun- eral was held at three o’clock on Satur- day afternoon, burial being made in the Pine Hall cemetery.

" The Bellefonte: Chautauqua of 1916 has gone down into history as a pro- nounced success since everyone of the “7 Joyous Days” brought pleasure and profit to some one or ones. The lecturers were talented men and students, the only regret in con- nection with them was, that not more of the thinking men and women heard the messages of these gifted speak- ers. The variety in and composition of the musical part of the program pro- hibits any just criticism. The Schu- bert String Quartet is not presented to every Chautauqua, hence a compli- ment was paia Bellefonte by its pres- ence. The morality play, “Happiness,” taught its lesson effectively and was well acted. As we recall the many different features of the ‘program we easily recognize that it. was a well balanced one with something in it for all. : Our Junior Chautauqua was the larg- est on the circuit, numbering 237 hap- py, active children. Some of us think that the Juniors alone were well worth the price of the ticket; others claim the same for the lecturers and others for “The Mikado.” The consensus of opinion is that Dr. Forbush was “the best Superin- tendent we have had.” His talks were especially helpful ‘to parents and teachers, but they gave food for thought to others, even to the younger element. Judging from the present popular feeling towards Chautauqua, next year’s session will be well supported by not only the former friends but by many new ones. . . Fifty-four men and women have volunteered to serve as guarantors for another year. The agreement is still open to give more men and women the opportunity to subscribe. Every signature means happiness to hun- dreds of people. Won’t you—the un- signed—add your name to the list! The list of guarantors will be pub- lished soon. The second cpportunity for you—the unpledged—is to sign- the ‘pledges for tickets. Please ask for them. - While we are indebted to the Swarth- more Chautauqua Association for this exceptional opportunity to listen to good things, we owe at least an ex- pression of appreciation to the guar- antors, to the ticket canvassers, to Dr. R. L. Weston and Robert F. Hunter, indefatigable’ workers and supporters ‘which spell success, “~*~ 7 "The officers for the 1917 Chautau- qua are as follows: President, John Blanchard; vice president, Jas. H.

She ran down stairs and out and found the boy with his leg broken by. the fall but without esen a tear in his eye. The Osmers were formerly of Bellefonte. the Front.

CURTIN.” Material Aid for Soldiers Families. Since last week’s issue of the “Watchman” pledges of support to the Centre county Soldiers’ Relief As- sociation have been received from the following: H. H. Ruhl, Mrs. E. H. Yo- cum, Bellefonte Academy, Mrs. H. E. Fenlon, Mrs. Richard Taylor and John Knisely, Bellefonte; the I. O. O. F. No. 733 of Port Matilda, and John Smith, Spring Mills. a Quite naturally many people are wondering just what amount of aid is being furnished to the dependent fam- ilies of members of Troop L, now in Texas, and for their benefit, as well as for the information of.the general public, it can be stated on authority that during the month of July the Re- lief Association paid to the soldiers {families a little over $700.00 in cash. i This amount included help to every {family who needed it, not only to the {wives and children of the men at the ifront but in at least two cases to | mothers whose sons had contributed to their support. The action of the Pennsylvania railroad company in de- | ciding to extend aid to the families of |any of its employees who are at the {front will in the future relieve the | Association to the extent of about {$55.00 a month, and one or two other {families may soon be given assistance {in another way, which will further re- duce the total amount needed but the { least that can be made to do in the i future will be about $650 per month. Aside from the liberal contributions {missioners and $25.00 by the borough | council, practically all the money so |far contributed .has.come .from resi- {dents of Bellefonte and vicinity. While | there are a few cases of pledges from | people living in different parts of the | county, there are not nearly as many as there should be. Troop L is not a Bellefonte organization by any means. In fact its members come from all | over the county, and aid is as cheer- | fully furnished to a dependent family | living at Howard as one in Bellefonte, ‘and for that reason citizens of the { county generally should contribute to (the fund. If just three hundred people {would agree to contribute one dollar per month it would be a great help to the Association and the contributors would never miss that amount. The soldier boys were prompt to respond to the call of the President and the citizens of the county ought to be just as prompt to respond for the relief of their dependent families at home. Recruits Wanted. In accordance with recent orders from the Commanding General of the Eastern Department, U. S. A., Lieut. R. A. Zent- myer has been appointed a recruiting of- ficer for the National Guard of the Unit- ed States and Pennsylvania, with station at Tyrone, but including also the sur- rounding territory of Clearfield, Philips- burg, Bellefonte and Lock Haven. Per- mission has been requested to visit these places for recruiting purposes, but until such permission has been granted, re- cruits will be accepted and enlisted at Tyrone for all arms of the service, in- cluding infantry, artillery, cavalry, engi- neers and ambulance company. Each recruit will be privileged to choose the organization in which he desires to enlist, that is the regiment, but will be assigned to the particular company by the officer in command of the regiment. Arrested for Killing Deer. Paul Harter, son of Harry Harter, of Spring township,” was arrested at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning on the charge of killing deer out of season. The information ‘was made by chief of police Harry Dukeman and the arrest was made by game wardens E. W. Kelly, of DuBois, and Charles Batcheler, of Philipsburg. The arrest grows out of the finding of the dead body of a buck on the Merrill Kerstetter farm in Spring township two weeks ago on Wednesday. The deer had been killed with a load of buckshot. Young Harter will be given a hearing be- fore squire Woodring on Friday evening, August 11th, at 7 o’clock. —————— AAA re—— ——The Lutheran reunion and picnic of Bellefonte, Nittany valley and Lock Haven will be held at Hecla Park on Wednesday of next week, August 9th.
