a member of the class of 1917, of the
Western College for Women.

small compared with the past three
years, when from forty to sixty
new houses were erected each sum-
mer.

The summer session for teach-
ers at The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege will open next Monday, June

teachers who have attended the sum-
mer school in past years were women

much effect on the attendance this
summer,

chief of police Harry Dukeman went
to Millersburg on Wednesday and

« inches and totaled 171% inches. On

at a height of 7000.
van township subscribers
of the “Watchman” will be compelled
to forego the pleasure: of reading the
ever familiar “Pine Grove Mentions”
this week, because the contributor,
Capt. W. H. Fry, is attending the en-
campment of the G. A. R. at Johns-
town and therefore unable to write

ever, that he is having a very pleasant
and profitable time of it.

and thus will end the life of the road

| MOST CERTAIN.
| Plant Likely to be Taken Over by the
J. G. White Co., of New York.
Gas Plant Also to be Ope-
rated.
¢ Mr. J. W. Murdock, of Ithaca, N. Y.,
! an efficiency engineer in the employ of
| the J. G. White Co., of New York city,
| has been in Bellefonte this week mak-
(ing a survey of the town with a view
| of the above company taking over the
| plant of the Bellefonte Steam Heating
and gas company; and the encourage-
{ ment he has met with so far practic-
| ally justifies the assertion that the
i plant will be operated next winter and
| the people of the town supplied with
| an abundance of steam.
I Under the direction of Mr. Murdock
{a canvass of the town is being made
lin a most methodical manner. Print-
| ed pledges are presented to each prop-
{erty resident and they are thus given
| the opportunity to say in writing
| whether they will be willing to use
gas at $1.75 a thousand feet and
steam heat next winter. So far the
pledges have been liberally made and
if the same sentiment prevails
throughout the entire town the
pledges will be ample, it is said, to
jastify the J. G. White Co. to take
over and operate the plant.
This company now has upwards of
{ forty such plants throughout the
country, it is said, and because of this
fact they are large consumers of coal
and can get a contract where a nomi-
nal buyer cannot. If they take over
the Bellefonte plant they will do so
in the very near future and at once in-
stall the most modern kind of a gas
plant, and one of sufficient capacity
to meet all demands.
Mr. Murdock is very favorably im-
{ pressed with the sentiment here in fa-
vor of supporting the plant and thinks
there is no doubt but that the compa-
ny he represents will take the plant.
He expects to have his work so far ad-
vanced that he will be able to leave
| Bellefonte today, especially as he has
{ an engagement elsewhere to purchase
a large supply of coal and also make
arrangements for a contract for the
company’s supply next winter.
Three Flag Raisings.
The people of Axe Mann demon-
strated their patriotism by raising a
flag to the breeze at seven o’clock on
Saturday evening. Our Boys band of
Milesburg furnished the music and a
very inspiring address was made by
Dr. Ezra H. Yocum, pastor of the
Bellefonte Methodist church. Follow-
ing the flag raising a festival was held
for the benefit of the church. On
their way home about nine o’clock the
band stopped in Bellefonte and gave
a short concert in the Diamond.
The same evening there was a flag
raising at Runville at 7:30 o’clock.
The Runville band was present and
addresses were made by Edmund
Blanchard, Col. H. S. Taylor and S.
B. Miller. A box social followed the
flag raising.
On Sunday evening another flag
was flung to the breeze at Scotia. The
ceremony incident thereto took place
at 6:30 o'clock. There was no band
but excellent music was furnished by
a selected choir. Addresses were
made by Burgess Blanchard and Col.
H. S. Taylor, of Bellefonte.
Seriously Hurt in a Fall.
Orvis Ewing, a young painter of
Lemont, was seriously hurt on Tues-
day evening when the ladder on which
he was working broke and he fell to
the ground a distance of twenty feet
or more. Ewing was engaged in
painting the house of James H.
Shreck. It was about 5:30 o’clock in
the evening and he was about finish-
ing his work for the day, when the
ladder on which he was working
buckled beneath his weight and he fell
to the ground.
A physician was hastily summoned
who found that Ewing had sustained
four fractured ribs and an injured
back. His condition was such that it
was impossible to give him proper at-
tention at home so I. J. Dreese, ac-
companied by the attending physi-
cian, brought him to the Bellefonte
hospital for treatment.
Another Prisoner Escaped.
Another prisoner escaped from the
western penitentiary at Rockview on
Tuesday afternoon in the person of
Allie Hammond, alias William Jen-
kins, alias W. R. Black, of Spangler.
He was working near the old Rock
mill on Spring creek and made his
getaway about 1:30 o’clock. Ham-
mond is 22 years old, 5 feet 73 inches
tall and weighs 123 pounds. He wore
a blue coat and trousers and a striped
shirt. He was sent in from Somerset
county on May 14th, 1917, for a term
of three years for burglary and was
transferred to the Rockview peniten-
tiary from Pittsburgh on June 1st.
It will be recalled that on May 2nd
C. A. Wilson, another prisoner made
his escape and up to this time has
successfully evaded recapture.

Troop L Needs Twenty men.

cavalry of this place needs twenty
good and true men to fill up its war

and on July 1st will enter the employ
of the Centre County Banking Co. in
the same capacity.
Miss Anna Keichiine, Belle-
fonte’s young lady architect, has just
completed plans for the new Odd Fel-
low’s building to be erected in Phil- |
ipsburg on the site of the building de-
stroyed by fire about a year ago.
will be a two-story structure.
A number of Bellefonte and
Centre county physicians attended a
meeting of the West Branch medical
society at the Nittany country club
yesterday. Judge Henry C. Quigley
was a guest and explained the com-
pensation law as it relates to physi-
cians, ete.
Dr. W. U. Irwin, of Unionville,
was in town yesterday and part of his
business was to purchase a Stude-
baker Six runabout from the Beezer
garage. We congratulate him on his
selection, for he is surely now going
to get car service and car comfort
while looking after his extensive prac-
tice.
——1If you are tired, worried or
have a case of nerves in the evening,
try the Scenic. The motion pictures
shown there are so interesting at all
times that you will lose yourself en-
tirely, forget your troubles and spend
two hours of intense enjoyment in|
{ watching the wondrous pictures por-
trayed upon the screen. Open every
evening during the week.
——A small fire in a frame building
attached to the Palace garage, at te
rear of this office, caused 2 great deal
of excitement in this end of town
about 4:30 yesterday afternoon. The
‘new fire alarm was on the job, the fire
department got out speedily and
everything went fine but the fire,
which was nipped before it had a
chance to do any more than slight
damage.
——The bass fishing season came
in last Friday but up to this time we
have not heard of any person brag-
ging of his big catch. Of course bass
fishing in Centre county is limited to
the lower Bald Eagle creek and so far
the conditions have not been favora-
ble for any large catches. Fishermen
who have inspected the creek aver
that the bass are quite plentiful from
Howard down.
——A marriage license was issued
at Elkton, Delaware, on Monday to
John Rokert Cole, of Bellefonte, and
Miss Jessie W. Flanagan, of Philadel-
phia, and the natural assumption is
that the young people were married
that day. Mr. Cole is a son of the
late Robert Cole, of this place, and
has been employed as a chauffeur in
Philadelphia the past year or two.
Though he is only a young man this
is his third matrimonial venture.
On Wednesday morning the ex-
press messenger on the Central Rail-
road of Pennsylvania received a box
at Hecla containing one dog, and so
said the bill of lading with it. The
box was consigned to a party in York.
When the train arrived at the Casta-
nea station near Lock Haven there
were seven dogs in the box, the moth-
er and six puppies, and the express
messengers were in a quandary as to
how to settle the doggone question of
carrying a box containing seven dogs
when the bill of lading called for only
one.
——LEighteen new citizens of the
United States were made on Monday
when Judge Henry C. Quigley grant-
ed naturalization papers to eighteen
foreign-born residents of Centre
county. Twenty applications were
heard but in two cases there were one
or two small defects in the testimony
of the applicant’s witnesses but the
court granted permission to have the
testimony added to. Among the ap-
plicants were Rev. T. Hugh MacLeod,
pastor of the U. B. church, who is a
Canadian by birth and who was
granted his papers by the court.
a
Snow Shoe Y. W. C. A. Activities.
The Y. W. C. A. of Snow Shoe held
its second canning demonstration on
Tuesday evening under the direction
of Miss Keller, of State College. The
girls are very much encouraged by
the large attendance and the great
interest aroused by these demonstra-
tions. They plan to have another in
a few weeks and then the women of
the town are requested to take any-
thing they wish canned, dried or pre-
served. Of course, they are also ex-
pected to furnish their own jars.
To those who do not understand
the work the Pennsylvania State Col-
lege is doing along these lines the or-
ganization wishes to inform them of
the fact that such demonstrations are
free to the people of the State by ap-
plying to the proper authorities at
the College. The Snow Shoe Y. W.
C. A. has been alive to the import-
ance of this work in rural communi-
ties ever since it has been organized
and it urges upon the women of Snow
Shoe and Centre county that the
work now is most necessary when the
conservation of all our resources is
so vital to our country’s needs.

Family Troubles Aired.
The following item regarding an
occurrence that took place one day
last week in the Williamsport police
court is taken from the Williamsport
“Sun.”
“I want this woman right here to
promise that she will go back to her
home and take care of her five chil-
dren which she left without support.”
This statement was made in the Wil-
liamsport police station by a man who
gave his name as Parker and his res-
idence as State College. Parker
claimed the woman, his wife, had left
five children at State College without
support. He was asked by the cap-
tain if he had provided money to buy
the groceries at the home and he
stated that he had not because his
wife worked. Just about that time
the wife spoke stating that her hus-
band had not been supporting her and
that he had not lived with her in a
year’s time. She stated that work
was scarce at the College and she had
come to Williamsport to secure em-
ployment and that she was sending
money home to support the children.
Captain Fincher told the couple
that they would have to take their
troubles to State College for settle-
ment. Then he put a few questions
to th: husband. Parker seemed to
think that his wife with five children
should work and furnish the “eats”
but he said nothing about helping to
support the family himself. Parker
inquired of his wife whether or not
she would go with him to a hotel and
return to State College in the morn-
ing. “If you will support me I will go
with you,” was the reply of the wife.
