COUNCIL PASSED ORDINANCE.
Authorizing Sale of Hoover Block,
Tyrone, of Pruner Orphanage
Estate.
After hanging fire for a period of
three months during which time three
different ordinances were presented
the Bellefonte borough council on
Monday night finally passed the ordi-
nance providing for the sale of the
Hoover block in Tyrone to the United
States government for a postoffice
site, and a piece of land in Ness coun-
ty, Kan.,, to a private individual.
Both properties are part of the Pru-
. ner estate left to the boroughs of Ty-
rone and Bellefonte for the support of
the Pruner orphanage. The price to
be received for the Hoover block is
$18,000 and for the piece of land in
Ness county, Kan., $2,400. The vote
in council on Monday evening was
Brockerhoff, Haupt, Lyon, Shope, Sei-
bert and president Walker for the
passage of the ordinance and Cherry,
Harris and Flack against it. Tyrone
council passed the ordinance a month
or. more ago and the matter is now
up to the courts to decide whether the
sale will be legal under the last will
and testament of the late E. J. Pru-
ner.
When council convened on Monday
evening Thomas Rishel appeared and
made complaint about the surface
drainage from the Oscar Wetzel prop-
erty on Willowbank street flooding
his cellar. He was informed that in-
asmuch as the drainage comes from
an abutting property council has
nothing to do in the matter, that the
question must be settled beween he
and the abutting property owner.
A letter from the Bell Telephone
company of Pennsylvania was read
notifying council that the Public
Service Commission had approved the
ordinance granting them the right to
install an underground service.
A letter was read informing coun-
cil that the Aetna Life Insurance
company had paid the claim for com-
pensation insurance of Joseph Dona-
hue, who was hurt while working on
the streets.
A communication was read from
the Ocean Life Insurance company
enclosing a statement of $37.00 due
the company on premium for compen-
sation insurance held by the borough
in the year 1916. The matter was re-
ferred to the Finance committee and
borough solicitor for investigation
and report.
Chairman Harris, of the Street
committee reported that they had
made some repairs on west High and
St. Paul streets, but to put the latter
in proper shape it will have to be re-
graded. The matter was referred
back to the Street committee, borough
engineer and borough solicitor with
power. Mr. Harris also called atten-
tion to the fact that none of the prop-
erty owners on east Logan street or
south Allegheny have rebuilt their
pavements, although they had been
notified months ago to do so. The
matter was referred to the Street
committee and borough solicitor with
instructions to give ten day’s notice
to build said pavements and if the
work was not begun at the end of that
time to build same and enter liens
against the properties for the cost
thereof plus twenty per cent.
Chairman Seibert, of the Water
committee, stated that he had found
a fire hydrant that he could use to re-
place the one at the corner of High
and Spring streets. He also reported
that material valued at from $75.00
to $80.00 has been stolen or carried
off from the Phoenix pumping sta-
tion.
The Finance committee reported a
balance in the hands of the treasurer
on June 1st of $984.71. Notes for
$2,000 and $1,100 due June 2nd, were
presented for renewal for one year
and one for $500 due June 6th for six
months, all of which were authorized.
The Street committee reported a
number of lights out during the
month of May and on motion the Sec-
retary was instructed to make the
customary recuction from the State-
Centre company’s bill.
The Fire and Police committee was
instructed to make a thorough test of
the sirene fire alarm as soon as pos-
sible.
The Street committee reported that
the burgess had decided upon iron
pipe portable markers for the regu-
lation of traffic which had been ap-
proved by the committee.
A number of requests for exonera-
tion of water taxes were referred to
the Water committee for investiga-
tion and report.
Bills to the amount of about $1090
were approved and council adjourned.
Fifty-five State College stud-
ents who will be members of two am-
bulance units to be furnished by that
institution for duty in France, left
the College on Friday and Saturday
for Allentown where they will under-
go a few weeks of intensive training
before being sent abroad. Included
in the number are J. M. Hayes, of
Bellefonte; M. R. Rodrigues and B.
M. Homan, of State College, and W.
S. Ward Jr., of Pennsylvania Fur-

MILLER.—Mr. Jonathan E. Miller
died at his home on Reynolds avenue
at three o’clock on Sunday morning.
He had suffered a breakdown in health

fonte.
After coming to Bellefonte Mr.
Miller and family became associated
with the Methodist church in which
he always took a great interest. In
politics he was a Democrat, and while
he never sought any big political
preference he was frequently honored
by his party by the election to vari-
ous ward offices. He was a man of
the highest integrity and conscien-
tious principles and was universally
esteemed by a wide circle of friends.
He lived to a good ripe age and his
death is only the transposition from
mortality to the reward awaiting the
faithful. :

Potato Pests and Diseases.
R. M. Olmstead, the extension rep-
resentative of the Centre county
Farm Bureau, has his work pretty
well in hand now, although he has
been on the job only about a month.
He has already given out much per-
sonal information to farmers” seeking
his advice about the conditions of soil
and the best kinds of fertilizer to use
for various crops and he is now ar-
ranging to give advice on the right
kind of spray to use. His informa-
tion this week is on the proper spray
to use on potatoes, which he gives as
follows:
Now that the potatoes are planted,
plan early to combat the blight and
bugs.
For both early and late blight and
tip burn, Bordeaux mixture, compos-
ed of copper sulphate, caustic lime,
and water is very good. The propor-
tion for potatoes is 4-4-50. The four
pounds of copper sulphate is dissolv-
ed in a small amount of water and
then diluted to 25 gallons. The caus-
tic lime is slaked and the lime solu-
tion is also diluted to 25 gallons.
The two solutions are then pouied
into a larger receptacle at the same
time. Never pour one solution into
the other.
For the Colorado potato beetle or
potato bug—arsenate of lead—3
pounds of paste or 13% pounds of pow-
der may be added to the Bordeaux
mixture. Paris green, i lbs., may be
used in place of the arsenate, but is
more apt to burn the foliage and does
not stick so well. If either the arsen-
ate or Paris green is used alone the
proportions should be dissolved in 50
gallons of water.
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture
should begin when plants are about
g& inches high and about every 10 days
to two weeks thereafter for three or
four sprayings.
“Michelaines” for the Soldiers.
In answer to a request the follow-
ing directions are given in the Amer-
ican Medical Journal, for knitting
sweaters for soldiers:
The sweaters in question were
known as “Michelaines,” after Dr.
Michel, the inventor. It is a scarf
which can be used as a head, throat,
chest or arm protector. It consists es-
sentially of a woolen band 48 inches
long and 16 inches wide, with a me-
dian slit 8 inches long, large enough
for the soldier’s head to pass through.
The particular crochet stitch which
Dr. Michel recommends for this pur-
pose is the following: Use medium
sized wool and a crochet needle hav-
ing a diameter of cne-fourth of an
inch. 1. Make a loose chain 48 inches
long. 2. crochet two extra stitches
for turning. 8. Throw thread over
needle. For the first row take up the
two threads of the chain, throw thread
over, put it under the two- stitches of
the first loop of chain; pull through;
throw thread over again, then pull
through the first two, then pull
through the second two; repeat to end
of chain. Take two stitches to turn
with; proceed exactly as the first row
only put through the single back
stitch. Crochet eighteen rows up,
then on the nineteenth row stop short
4 inches from the middle; break the
thread. Begin on the other side 4
inches from the middle, thus leaving
an 8 inch opening and crochet to the
end. Continue again as before until
you have eighteen more rows, then
fasten the threads securely. Sew on
buttons to fasten under each arm.

W. C. T. U. Porch “Thimble Bee.”
At the last delightful W. C. T. U.
“Thimble Bee,” at Mrs. Ward's, fifty
more comfort bags were completed
for Troop L, the whole troop now
being supplied, and upon the arrival
of the small testaments, which are to
be given with the bags, will be hand-
ed over to “our boys” upon their de-
parture for service.
Now the women will turn their at-
tention for the next two “Bees” to
making children’s clothes for Miss
deLagarde’s orphanage in France, the
Bellefonte W. C. T. U. furnishing the
material. |
The next “Bee” will be held at the
home of Miss Rhoads and Mrs. Wes-
ton, at 2:30 o’clock next Wednesday
afternoon, June 13th, and will inau-
gurate the “porch ‘Thimble Bee’ ” as

The citizens of Runville were
to have had a big flag-raising on Sun-
day afternoon but it was delayed for
various reasons and did not take place
until Monday afternoon. But they
raised the flag all right and thus
showed that they are as patriotic in
Runville as they are anywhere else
in the county.

ing a flag will be raised at the Cen-
tral Railroad of Pennsylvania engine

William Tanyer, son of Mrs.
Rebecca Tanyer, of Vail Station, is in
the Altoona hospital suffering with
severe burns on his face and body as
the result of a fire in which his mo-
torcycle was entirely ruinéd. Tan-
yer went to Tyrone on Memorial day
and went to Gill’s garage to have his
tank filled. He got more gasoline in
the funnel than would fill the tank
and to keep it from getting on his
machine tossed it into the air, some
of the liquid falling on his coat and
trousers. He then struck a match to
light a cigar and in an instant was
enveloped in flames. Men with blank-
ets extinguished the flames but not
before Gill was badly burned about
the face and body. A physician gave
him temporary relief and he was then
taken to the Altoona hospital for
treatment.
