Troop L Home From Texas Border. Cavalry Boys Given a Rousing Reception Upon Their Arrival Home Tues- day Night. On Sunday morning, June 25th, Capt. H. Laird Curtin and Troop L, of the First Pennsylvania cavalry, took their departure for Mt. Gretna and were bid- den farewell and God-speed by several thousand people as they boarded the train at the P. R. R. depot. On Tuesday night they were given a most enthusias- tic reception home by thousands of peo- ple and the greatest thing to be thankful for is that the troop returned to a man, with not a man on the sick list and with every one of them looking one hundred per cent better for their two hundred and five day’s experience as real sol- diers. When the announcement was made several weeks ago that the troop had bzen ordered home citizens of Bellefonte commensurate with the service they had | rendered their country. From the time | they left El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday | morning of last week their trip home | was followed as closely as possible, so that there would be no hitch or delay when the soldiers landed in Bellefonte. And the committee had everything work- ed out to the minutest detail. The troop train left Tyrone at 8.25 o'clock on Tuesday evening and shortly thereafter announcement of the fact was made by the blowing of whistles and ringing of bells. Naturally the crowd flocked to the railroad depot, but they had a long wait in the cold as it was just ten o'clock when the troop train finally pulled into the depot. Little time was lost in detaining and escorted by Our Boys band of Milesburg, the Bellefonte band, the Logan and Undine fire com- panies and the thousands of citizens who throngd the streets the soldiers marched up High street to the Diamond, north on Allegheny street to Spring and west on Spring and the armory where a very substantial turkey supper was served to all desiring it. Just fifty-seven of the soldiers partook of the meal, some being on detail duty while a few of them were so glad to get home they did not care to eat. Col. J. L. Spangler presided at the feast and made a patriotic little speech welcoming the boys home. Others who made brief speeches were Rev. M. DuPue Maynard, Father McArdle, Revs. . Yocum and Mc- Kinney and Col. H. S. Taylor Miss Elea- nore McSuley gave a recitation written especially on the Boal gun troop. By twelve o'clock the repast was concluded and the soldier boys who live in Belle- fonte dispersed to their homes. The horses of the troop were not un- loaded until Wednesday morning when they were taken to the stables at the fair grounds where they will be kept for the present. The property was also unloaded on Wednesday and transferred to the armory. It is not yet known just when the troop will be mustered out of service, but it will likely be in the near future. Until it is the soldiers will have to report daily at the armory. On the same train with tfoop L was the Boal machine gun troop, and after the cars containing the Bellefonte equip- ment had been shifted on the siding, the train containing the Boal troop was run to Oak Hall where the soldier boys occu- pied the cars until Wednesday morning They then detrained and marched to the Boal camp at Boalsburg. As mementoes of their stay in Texas Captain Curtin brought back with him two real Texas burros and Lieut. Boal brought home five of the little animals. A big reception was given the Boal troop at Boalsburg on Wednesday even- ing, part of which consisted of a turkey supper. Rev. Courtney presided as toast- master and the principal speakers were D. F. Kapp, of State College, and Rev. Stover. They both referred to the mili- tary record of Boalsburg and vicinity, which dates back to the real war with Mexico in 1848. se Celebrated Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary. Centre county has quite a number of venerable couples who have celebrated their golden wedding, but Pine Grove Mills comes to the forefront with a couple who, on last Friday, celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary. This esteemed couple were none other than Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Bowersox. Mr. Bowersox was born in Union county on March 11, 1837, hence is almost eighty years old. His wife, who prior to her marriage was Miss Catherine Ocker, of Madisonburg, is just three months younger than her husband. They were married at Middleburg, Snyder county, on January 12, 1856, and practically all their married life has been spent in Centre county. They have been blessed with thirteen children, and with the exception of one who died in infancy, the family circle remains unbroken. They also have thirty-two grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren, most of whom were home for the celebration last Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Bowersox lived on the farm until eleven years ago, when they retired to the cozy home they now occupy in Pine Grove. ~—At the expiration of the term on the first of January, Miss Alice Tate was reappointed Registrar of vital statistics of this district, comprising Benner, Spring, Marion and Walker townships and the borough of Bellefonte. began to plan to give them a reception Two Cases Disposed Of. | At a special session of court on Mon- | day morning Judge Quigley sentenced ' George Dayon to pay a fine of five hun- i dred dollars, costs of prosecution and i undergo imprisonment in the county jail ' for a period of six months on the charge of selling liquor without a license. Day- ! on was the man caught in the raid after | the house of Minnie Hayes, at Philips- burg, was destroyed by fire the night be- | fore Christmas. He had been an inmate - of the house since last August and had no other means of livelihood. He was | indicted on three charges, one of which | carries with it a penalty of three years in | the penitentiary, but upon his promise to , the court that when his jail sentence ex- | pires he will go home and go to work "and live the right kind of a life the court | suspended sentence on the two most se- rious charges and imposed sentence as I given above, cautioning him, however, [that if he reverted to his old life he { would have him brought back and then give him the full penalty provided by the | Act of the Legislature of 1905. | Another case disposed of was that of | Mike Kush, a Slavishman of Philipsburg. Mike was before the court some months | ago on the charge of assault and battery and desertion and non-support. At the time the court sentenced him to pay the | costs and give his wife $15.00 per month. | He paid sixteen dollars on the costs but never gave his wife anything and when he learned there was a bench warrant out for him left Philipsburg and went to Pittsburgh. He was brought back by the sheriff when he took Paul Swartz to the penitentiary. The case was some- | what perplexing to the court and Kush | finally promised that if arrangements | could be made he would go to work in the coal mines in Snow Shee and allow his employer to divide his pay in three parts, one to go toward the payment of costs, one part to his wife and the bal- ance to himself. He was sent to Snow Shoe Monday evening. — eee Farm Bureau Movement is Contagious. The farm bureau, county agent, county agriculturist, extension representative or farm demonstrator movement, as it is variously aud popularly known, was in- augurated in Pennsylvania in 1912 with the organization of five counties. The work has grown until at the present time there are extension representatives in thirty-six counties. Five counties are or- ganized and will be supplied with a lead. er as soon as funds are available, and in fourteen other counties the movement is being strongly agitated. Concrete examples which show the value of farm bureau movement in sev- eral counties in which it has already been established might be multiplied. Here is one: In Lycoming county last spring the county extension representative, R. H. Bell, saw the necessity for some measure which would lessen the prevalence of, and losses from, oats smut in the county. The names of those desiring formalin with which to treat their seed oats were secured at various meetings held through- out the county during the winter and early spring, and through other channels. The plan adopted was to supply the ma- terial purchased by the farmers direct by mail, together with directions for using it. In all about 200 farmers were supplied. Reports recently received from eighty of these farmers show an average infesta- tion of oats smut where seed was not treated of 7 per cent. and of 1.1 per cent. in the case of treated seed. On the basis of 40 bushels to the acre this would mean a saving of 7920 bushels to those treating their seed oats. The money saving may readily be figured. About 30 per cent. of the farmers who treated their seed oats also treated their seed potatoes to guard against scab. The acreage reported by those treating potatoes was about one- fourth of the total for the county. Assum- ing a yield of 40 bushels to the acre, the total savings, on the basis of a saving of 6 per cent. for the entire county, would be 55,400 bushels. Similar examples of savings effected through an oats smut campaign are avail- able for many other counties of the State. In each instance the extension rep- resentative started the campaign. Ask the farmers in the counties where the work is already established their opinion of it. They constitute its best advertise- ment. Farmers in one county will tell how the dairy interests have been helped by the introduction of herd bulls and by carefully conducted cow-testing associa- tions. Another community will regale you with tales of assistance given in methods of marketing farm products. Still others will orate with fervor on the benefits of variety tests of various kinds of farm crops such as corn, oats and wheat. February 1 has been set as the date for organizing the Farm Bureau for Center county. The meeting will be held in the court house at Bellefonte at 10.00 a. m, This will enable people from all parts of the county to come to Bellefonte on the morning trains and return in the after- noon. At this meeting the entire proposition will be thoroughly explained by represen- tatives from the College. The farmers of Center county should avail themselves of this opportunity and turn out to the Bellefonte meeting. PAGE.—Mr. and Mrs. Christ Page, of Orviston, are mourning the death of their five year-old-son, Charles Page, who died on Tuesday of last week of diphther- etic croup. Burial was made at Blanch- ard on Thursday. i Busy Session of Borough Council. ' regular meeting of borough council on Monday evening, the first meeting since | December 18th. Burgess Edmund Blanchard presented "his report for the year 1916 which show- ed that seventy-two arrests had been ' made. Fifty-one auto licenses were is- ! sued and the total receipts from fines ‘and licenses were $333.75. There were ' six fires during the year, none of which | were serious, and four automobile acci- | dents, none fatal. John J. Bower was present and ad- ‘dressed council on the question of in- stalling a sirene fire alarm, especially { mentioning the Denver alarm which, | with a five horse power motor will cost | $475.00, with about $25.00 freight from . Denver. H. J. Thompson, of the State— i Centre Electric company, has agreed to install the alarm free of charge and also furnish the electric power to operate it | free. No action was taken on the prop- osition. A communication was received from the delegates of the Logan and Undine fire companies stating that they had met on Monday evening, January 8th, and elected John J. Bower fire marshall; Charles Anderson, first assistant, and Guy Kline, second assistant. Their ac- tion was approved by council. A communication was received ‘from A. C. Mingle requesting a rebate of $3.50 on water taxes for 1916, owing to two of his houses standing empty for six months. The matter was referred to the Water committee. A letter was received from the citizens committee operating the Bellefonte steam heating plant enclosing statement of the cost of the heat for the public building for February and March as $71.58 a month. Council voted to pay the bill. A communication was received from J. Herbert Knisely, secretary of the State Boroughs’ association, stating that the annual convention would be held in Har- risburg on February 14th and 15th, and urging council to send representatives. Council authorized the attendance of the burgess, borough solicitor and chairman of the Street committee. Applications were received from Harry Dukeman for reappointment as chief of police and Elmer Yerger as patrolman, and upon recommendation of the Fire and Police committee both were reap- pointed for one year, or as long as their service is satisfactory. The Street committee reported ten dol- lars received for a sewer permit, and that work had been begun on the Bishop street sewer. Report was also made that Mr. Thomas, one of the employees on the street, mashed his thumb on Monday. The Water committee, through chair- man Seibert, presented the State-Centre Electric company’s bill for pumping water and also bills for labor and repairs on the water system. Mr. Seibert also called attention to the fact that on the State-Centre company’s list of water taxes there was still $5,591 uncollected and council voted that the company be requested to hurry up the collections. The Fire and Police committee report- ed the burgess’ check for $60.00 for fines and licenses. The Finance committee presented the treasurers’ report which showed a bal- ance on January 1st, 1917, of $8,310.57. Mr. Harris stated that J. L. Montgom- ery, of the Pennsylvania Match company, made the proposition that if the borough would install the old fire alarm on the Match company boilers and arrange for the placing of both telephones in the boiler room that the company would willingly sound the fire alarm. Council voted to accept the proposition which will solve the fire alarm question for the present, at least. Secretary W. T. Kelly presented two policies for compensation insurance, one from the Ocean Insurance company, which carried the borough insurance last year, and one from the Aetna Insur- ance company, represented by John F. Gray & Son. Council voted to accept the latter and instructed the secretary to return the former. Bills to the amount of $5,046.34, which included $2,000 into the sinking fund, were approved and council adjourned. Associated Charities Christmas Distribu- tion. The Associated Charities made its usual distribution of food and fuel at the Christmas season. Thirty-four baskets of groceries, ten loads of coal and two loads of wood were sent out. Some cloth- ing was contributed and purchased, and toys, candy and oranges were carried to the children of the community Christmas morning. Mr. Hard Harris and Mr. Ed- mund Blanchard kindly offered their assis- tance in acting as Santa Claus, and kept their cars busy for over two hours on this joyous errand. More than forty fam- ilies and over one hundred children were thus remembered by the Association, which was acting as distributive agent for several benevolent socities of the town, and a number of private citizens. The principal contributions were received from the Elks and the Soldiers’ Relief fund. Others were Col. J. L. Spangler, J. S. McCargar, Edward Richard, Mrs J. L. Montgomery, Mrs. George Hazel, Mrs. Edmund Blanchard, Mrs. Geisinger, Mrs. Zeller, Mrs. Brouse, Miss Mary Thomas, Miss Musser and the Bellefonte Trust Co. MRs. R. S.
