FARMERS MUST HAVE HELP.
So Reported by Public Safety Com-
mittee at Meeting on Tuesday
Evening.
A good attendance of representa-
published unless accompanied by the real | tive citizens from all parts of the
- | county
was present at the weekly
meeting of the Public Safety commit-
tee of Centre county in the grand ju-
rv room of the court house on Tues-
day evening. Chairman Theodore Da-
vis Boal presided and called on chair-
man D. F. Kapp, of the agricultural
committee, for a report on last Sat-
urday evening’s county wide meeting.
Chairman Kapp had prepared a
, very comprehensive report which was
read by the secretary, Geo. R. Meek.
In it he stated that the situation
‘among the farmers of the county is
— Governor Brumbaugh on Mon-
day appointed M. S. McDowell, of

TOW.

strels will give their annual enter-
tainment in Garman’s opera house on

good by those who had it in charge.

men and Farmers’ Protective asso-
ciation will hold a meeting in the
court house to-morrow (Saturday)
April 28th;-at.ten o’clock a. m. It will
be to the interest. of all threshermen
and farmers in the county to attend
this meeting.
Announcements have been re-
eeived in Bellefonte of the marriage,
in Dorchester, Mass., on April 19th,
" of Miss Margaret Jane Bartley and
Karl Walker Turner. The bride is a
native of Bellefonte, having been a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Bart-
such that an immediate survey should
be made to find out just what farmers
are in need of help and a survey
made of the various High schools and
towns regarding what help can be
secured for the farmers. :
Fourtéen meetings were held
throughout the county last Saturday
' evening and the attendance ran from
- forty, the lowest, to as high as six
‘hundred, the total attendance at all
‘ the meetings being twenty-three hun-
"dred and eighty seven. Considerable
interest was shown by the farmers
present and it is believed that the
holding of those meetings alone will
result in much good.
The attendance at the various meet-
ings was stated as follows:
Bellefonte 109. Boalsburg 150. Cen-
tre Hall 150. Hublersburg 40. How-
ard 450. Millheim 600. Potters Mills
100. Port Matilda 107. Pine Grove
Mills 100. Rebersburg 150. Rock
Springs 50. Spring Mills 175. Storms-
town 50. Unionville 100. The meet-
ings scheduled for Philipsburg and
Snow Shoe were not held.
Regarding a survey of the county
to find out the farmers in need of
help Mr. Gramley, of Millheim, sug-
gested that the best way to do that :
work will be by some man in each
township finding out the conditions
and report to chairman Kapp. He stat-
ed that he personally had looked over
the situation in Miles, Haines, Penn
and part of Gregg townships and
found the situation there normal.
Dean R. L. Watts, of the College, vol-
unteered the services of a man to do
the clerical work necesseary to tabu-
lating the survey and it was the sense
of the committee that he be assigned
to chairman Kapp and the work be
left in his hands.

of desecration of the flag, as well.
— In the annual report of the

Robert Frazer calls attention to the
fact that 71 per cent. of the profit on

year ended December 31 were $81,833,
and the year’s surplus $7,621. Operat-
ing costs show a profit on freight of
$19,834, but a loss in passenger serv-
ice of $14,175.
called on the Commissioners last Wed-
nesday morning and after they put
the matter up to them in what they
believed the right light the Commis-
sioners agreed to increase their ap-
propriation from $300 to $1,000, and
make the money available at once. |
On motion Mr. Keller was continued
as chairman on special finances to as-
certain if any money would be availa-
ble for the work in Centre county
from the $2,000,000 appropriation
passed by the Legislature for home
defense and preparedness.
Robert F. Hunter, chairman of the
Motors Mobilization committee, stat-
ed that so far he had done little be-
cause he did not know what was ex-
pected of him. Secretary Meek stat-
ed that in due time the state com-
mittee on Public Safety would send
out more definite instructions for this
branch of the work and until that is,
done about the only thing to do is
to compile a list of motor cars and
trucks in the county and names of
owners.
Chairman Blanchard, of the Public-
ity committee, had nothing of special
importance to report.
Chairman H. S. Taylor, of the com-
mittee on Home Defense, stated that
he had most of the county organized
and in addition had enrolled one hun-
dred men in Bellefonte to be used as
a home guard if Troop L is called out,
and the same can be requisitioned for
fonte some time ago, having since Service in any part’of the county, if
needed.
The secretary read the report of
Judge Henry C. Quigley, chairman of
the Sanitation and Red Cross com-
mittee, in which that gentleman stat-
ed that he had made a partial survey
of the county and found that Philips-
burg, State College and Bellefonte
has already become interested in the
work. State College has a Chapter
with from one to two hundred mem-
bers. Philipsburg has about one
thousand members enrolled and in-
tends organizing a Chapter and
Bellefonte has over one hundred
members enrolled and will also or-
ganize a Chapter. He also suggested
a complete canvass of the county in
an effort to have beth men and wom-
en enroll as yearly contributing mem-
bers. Judge Quigley also advised
that inasmuch as he will be, away
from home the ensuing two or three
weeks that Col. J. L. Spangler be
elected chairman to succeed him and
he also suggested the names of peo-
ple in Philipsburg, Bellefonte, How-
county. His work will be carried on
in conjunction with that of the com-
mittee on agricultural resources of
the Public Safety committee of the
county.
around the animal
it headed toward the mountain, but
he had to follow it almost to the edge
of the forest before the deer seemed
to get its bearings and make direct
for the mountain.
Whether the animal was blind or
was simply so tired out by having
been run by the dogs Mr. Hess is
unable to say, as he could not see it
well enough in the dark to tell.

| Seven More Farm Bureaus Organized.
| Spurred by the universal demand
for maximum farm crop production,
seven more counties in this State
have organized farm bureaus and
. have had assigned to them agricul-
tural experts from The Pennsylvania
| State College. R. L. Watts, dean of
the school of agriculture, yesterday
| announced the following appoint-
i ments as county agents: Dauphin
county, H. G. Niesley; Cumberland
| county, Paul L. Edinger; Lebanon
: county, A. G. Berger; Clinton coun-
' ty, M. H. Keeney; York county, G. G.
| Weber; Adams county, H. F. Hershey,
! and Centre county, R. H. Olmstead.
All of these appointees will take up
their work of pushing scientific -agri-
culture in their various counties
within the next week or ten days. In
each instance they will cooperate
with local farm bureas and the Coun-
ty Commissioners, who have appro-
priated funds for maintaining the
farm experts. Salaries of the men
are paid by the college from State
and Federal appropriations.
There are now forty-three counties
in this State with representatives of
the State College agricultural exten-
sion department aiding the farmers to
solve their problems.
Many Foreigners Want to be Natur-
alized. 2
A list of twenty-five foreign-born

hearing at the June session of natur-
alization court. Among the number
are Rev. T. Hugh MacLeod, pastor of
the United Brethren church, a profes-
sor and a secretary at State College.
An examiner from the TU. S. nat-
uralization office in Philadelphia was
here several days ago examining the
final papers of the various applicants.
Before coming here he visited Phil-
ipsburg, where there are three appli-
cants, Munson, where there are two,
and Snow Shoe where there are
seven.
An amusing incident occurred here
while examining the applicants. One
foreigner was asked who is Governor
of Pennsylvania, and after scratching
his head a minute he said: “Why,
Mr. Inspector, his name just slipped
my mind.” Thinking to help him out
| the examiner said: “What does your
wife use when she wants to sweep?”
“Broom,” promptly replied the for-
eigner. “Well, what comes next?”
asked the examiner. “Handle,” said
the man, and the laugh was on the
examiner.

ters will be in South Bethlehem he
will continue to live in Bellefonte as
most of his time when away from
home will be spent on the road. Mr.
VanPelt’s promotion does not mean
that the S. and H. store in this place

the company’s recently announced: de-
cision of consolidating the small dis-
tricts under the management of the
Scranton office, leaving the different
stores in charge of a young lady at-

ter will continue in charge of the
