At a meeting of the Centre county Bar Association on Tuesday a resolution was passed pledging the earnest support of the members to Judge William D. Porter in his cam- paign for the nomination and elec- tion to the Superior court. While engaged in opening the road between Lemont and Oak Hall last Saturday County Commissioner D. A. Grove had three ribs cracked ‘when the snow plow he was using kicked him in the side. But the inju- ry did not lay him up as he is around this week as usual. The Greek cheese factory at Axe Mann is already working up to its capacity and turning out cheese every day. All of the output is ship- ped to New York and the demand for the product is so far ahead of the sup- ply that as soon as the weather will permit they intend increasing their plant.

On Wednesday Dr. J. E. Ward received an order from the S. S. White Dental company for 18,000 tubés of sodium and potassium, a den- tal preparation manufactured jointly by him and Dr. Pond, of State Col- lege. This is the largest order they have ever received and will take some hustling on the part of the doctor to get it filled. At the Sunday afternoon organ recital at State College given by John Laurence Wilsbach Miss Russie Cole, of Coleville, a pupil in the de- partment of music at the College, sang two soprano solos and was hear- tily congratulated on her accomplish- ment by C. C. Robinson, director of music, and her fellow pupils. The apartment house owned by Peter Ashcroft, in Philipsburg, caught fire early last Friday morning and al- though the flames were extinguished before they did a great amount of damage the three families occupying the building made a hasty exit and were cared for by neighbors. Prac- tically all their furniture was saved and the only damage was to the building. : It will be gratifying to the many friends of County Treasurer David Chambers to learn that he is recovering very nicely from the op- eration he underwent at the Mayo brothers sanitorium in Rochester, Minn., last week. In fact the opera- tion was not as serious as it was at first feared it might prove to be, and the eminent surgeons guaranteed him a complete cure. ——Charles A. MacAvoy, who since leaving Bellefonte several years ago has been connected with the Horning Electric company, at Horning, N. Y., is now located in Philadelphia, with offices at No. 1634 Chestnut street. The Horning Electric company was consolidated with two other electric companies with head offices in Phila- delphia, and Mr. MacAvoy has been made secretary and treasurer of the eompany. Notwithstanding the fact that the Scenic is closed every Tuesday to conserve fuel and heat the programs given the other five days in the week are well worth going to see. In addi- tion to the big features several even- ings during the weck there are splen- did comedies and a weekly news serv- ice which is growing better and more interesting right along. In fact the Scenic is the one place of popular amusement in Bellefonte where some- thing of interest can always be seen. To Correspondents.—No communications | a —————— STEAM HEAT PLANT TO SHUT! ——Will receive by express today DOWN. : ___ | Official Notice That the Heat Will End at Noon Tomorrow. Residents of Bellefonte who have stuck to the town steam through thick and thin, hoping against hope that the company would be able to pull through the winter, or at least through the severe cold, had a rude awakening on Wednesday morning when they received the following crisp notice: Bellefonte, Pa., Jan. 29, 1918. To the patrons of the Bellefonte Heat & Light Company: — Owing to the extreme difficulty in obtaining coal, and our heavy losses from operation, the management re- gretfully announces the suspension of heat service on Saturday, February 2nd, 1918, at 12 noon. H. T. MANN, Manager. While the fact is to be regretted that the plant will thus cease to be operated, yet the management can hardly be censured if, as they claim, they have been running behind two to three thousand dollars a month. It is a financial impossibility to conduct any business that way, and especially one that consumes coal for which the operators demand spot cash. The only pity is that some way could not have been devised whereby the reve- nue would have been sufficient to meet the unusual expenses. As it is many people in Bellefonte will be left in a sorry predicament, and with the coal supply so limited the situation is an extremely serious one. The result is manifest in the large number of people who have al- ready made arrangements to close their houses and go to the hotels which are heated by their own plants. Other families who have heat in their homes are planning to take in friends who do not have facilities for heating their own homes, and some very des- perate means will have to be resorted to if everybody in the town is to be cept comfortable until summer comes again. Following is a list of the changes that will be made so far as the “Watchman” was able to secure them up to the hour of going to press: Mr. and Mrs. Hammon Sechler and their daughter, Miss Anna; Mrs. James B. Lane, Mrs. L. T. Munson, Mr. and Mrs. Ellis L. Orvis with their daughter, Mrs. Harvey and her two children, have taken rooms at the Bush house. Mrs. Joseph Ceader and daughter, Miss Helen, have taken two rooms at the L. H. Gettig home. Mrs. C. D. Casebeer and little daughter Betty will go to Somerset for the remainder of the winter while Mr. Casebeer will go to the Brocker- hoff house. Mrs. Rachael Harris will close her house and go to her daughter, Mrs. John McCoy, while Mrs. John Van Pelt and daughter Rachael will join My, VanPelt in Johnstown. En ae Farmers’ Institutes in Centre County. Beginning one week from today the farmers of Centre county will have six days of instructive institutes, as follows: Port Matilda, February 8-9. Centre Hall, February 11-12. Spring Mills, February 13-14. These institutes should be of great- er value to the farmer this year than ever before, owing to the abnormal conditions confronting every tiller of the soil. Never before has there been such a world-wide shortage of food as exists at the present time. The shortage of labor is another unusual condition confronting the farmer but notwithstanding these exceptional cir- cumstances the farmer cannot lay down on his job, as the winning of the war depends as much upon him as on any other set of men. For this rea- son these meetings should prove of unusual interest and untold benefit to every man and woman who will be able to attend them. The speakers for these meetings in- clude Mr. Groupe, a practical farmer of Lycoming county; Mr. Fassett, of Wyoming county; Mr. E. L. Phillips, of Clarion county; Mrs. Eugene Groves Benn, representing the State Department of Agriculture; Miss Pearl MacDonald, D. F. Kapp and Prof. Fred Rasmussen, of State Col- lege; John W. Keller, forester of Boalsburg; Miss Nancy Hunter and R. H. Olmstead, of Bellefonte. No admission will be charged to these in- stitutes and no collection taken up. tee Politicians Buy Newspaper. Representative Harry B. Scott, M. Ward Fleming and George Esheldon, of Philipsburg, this week purchased the holdings of A. R. Richards in the Philipsburg Ledger and with Repre- sentative Harry Boulton, of Clearfield county, who also has an interest in the plant, will conduct the same in the future. The Ledger, it will be recalled, was originally an independent paper but after its purchase six years ago by A. R. Richards and Harry Boulton it was changed to an out and out Repub- lican paper but two years ago the pa- per balked on Scott and Rowland and refused to support either. The fact that Representative Scott has now purchased an interest in the paper is fairly good evidence that he will again be a candidate for the Legisla- ture, and announcement has been made that the paper in the future will be strictly machine Republican - and not a Brumbaugh organ. In this connection it might be stat- ed that a meeting was held at State College on Monday evening to decide on some man as a suitable candidate on the Republican ticket in opposition to Mr. Scott, but what action was tak- en has not yet been divulged. or tomorrow twenty-seven good heat- ing stoves, all kinds, to meet emer- gency caused by closing down of steam heat plant.—Potter-Hoy Hard- ware Co. 5-1t —— Centre county will not be re- quired to send any men to Camp Meade next week, as it already has one man more than the eighty per cent. quota at that place. It is like- ly, however, that the final twenty per cent. will be called for service on or about February 15th. —_— ee — ——James H. Potter and James R. Hughes were in Tyrone last Thurs- day attending a meeting of the El- ders’ association of the Huntingdon Presbytery, which was organized in December and of which Mr. Potter is the secretary. About forty members attended the gathering, a luncheon be- ing served the visitors by the Young Ladies Aid society of the Tyrone church. Mrs. S. Kline Woodring had the surprise of her life this week when she received a package by par- cel post from her brother, Andrew Cruse, at Honolulu, which had been sent her in November. Of course she had been informed by letter that the package had been sent and she had pleasant visions of the two silk waists and handsome locket it contained, and of course she hastened to open it when it was received only to be dumbfound- ed by the fact that the box was en- tirely empty. Not a waist, not a lock- et, not a thing was in the box and how or where the contents disappear- ed is a mystery. Notwithstanding the fact that we have had practically seven weeks of zero weather R. B. Taylor did not get his ice houses filled until last Fri- day. It was not because of any lack of ice because he had it from ten inches to twenty in thickness, but be- cause of his inability to get the help necessary to harvest the crop. And for that reason he was well satisfied that the cold weather hung on the way it did, for had the season been a short one, say two or three weeks favora- ble for ice harvesting, he would not have been able to put away half of his usual supply. As it is, he is stor- ed up to the limit and with the large amount of ice put away in private ice houses there should be no ice famine the coming summer. In response to the appeal sent out for scrap books for convalescing soldiers in the hospitals of France, Miss Overton and Miss Aiken were appointed a committee, at the Wom- an’s club, Monday night, to send our quota at the earliest possible date. Every person in Bellefonte should make themselves responsible for a contribution to this worthy cause, something clever that you yourself would enjoy were you ill and without reading matter; a cartoon, a piece of poetry or absorbing story. Some of the light, pleasing articles from Life; anything to make these brave men forget for a time. Have this in mind alway when reading, doing the clip- ping ‘as part of your “bit,” then send your collection to Miss Overton or Miss Aiken, who will do the assem- bling. Smee In a Social Way. Mrs. S. Kline Woodring entertain- ed a number of her friends at dinner on Monday evening. Mrs. H. N. Meyer gave a little par- ty on Tuesday evening in honor of Miss Della Cross, who is about to re- turn to Wernersville to resume her work as a nurse at Galen Hall. Miss Helen Beezer entertained a number of her young friends at a card party on Wednesday evening. Mrs. Oscar Gray and Miss Kate Shaughnessy entertained a party of twenty-five guests at a kitchen show- er on Wednesday evening at the Gray home in honor of Miss Bertha Hayes, whose marriage to Henry Brienmyer, of Pittsburgh, will take place on Feb- ruary 6th. Mrs. C. D. Casebeer entertained last night with the second of a series of card parties. Four tables of five hundred were in play. The third annual sledding party composed of some of the married women of the town, went to Pleasant Gap Thursday night of last week. A chicken and waffle supper and cards being the entertainment of the even- ing. Snow Damages Many Buildings. The unusual fall of snow has re- sulted in hundreds of dollar’s worth of damage to many buildings and pri- vate residences in town in a peculiar way. The sun melted the snow dur- ing the day and at night it would freeze into ice along the eves. Then the melting on the roof would contin- ue and the water dam up so that it ran back under the shingles and through the roof, damaging walls, ceiling and paper. At J. Thomas Mitchell's residence there has been a leak in the steam pipe out in the street and the steam followed the feed pipe into the cellar and up through the walls with the re- sult that most of the paper in the front part of the house has been ru- ined. The other day the snow on the east side of the roof of the Bellefonte Trust company building took a slide, broke off the iron guard on the roof and crashed through the skylight in- to the attic of the Garman house. On Tuesday evening a shed adjoin- ing the Brown barn in the rear of the Brant house collapsed under the im- mense weight of the snow piled upon the roof. Inasmuch as the shed was in poor condition the damage was not great. WOUNDED IN FRANCE. Frank Smith, a Former Milesburg Boy, Slightly Stabbed by Hun Bayonet. Frank Smith, a son of the late Al- fred S. Smith, of Milesburg, and a brother of Lieut. Claude W. Smith, of Bellefonte, now with the Twenty- eighth division in training at Camp Hancock, was among the American engineers wounded at Cambrai, France, when the Huns made a coun- ter attack after being driven out of their trenches by the French. Smith received a bayonet thrust in the shoulder but it was not serious enough to put him down and out and he fought until the Huns were driven back. His wound did not prove seri- ous and he is now getting along nicely. Before enlisting Smith was work- ing for the Pennsylvania railroad company in Altoona. When the call came last summer for engineers to go to France Smith enlisted and was among the number of railroad engi- neers trained in Philadelphia during the summer by his brother, Lieut. Claude Smith, before the latter was called home for service with Troop L. He was assigned to Company A, Fifteenth railway engineers and was among the first to be sent to France. When the British and French made their big drive before Cambria the American engineers followed them closely putting down narrow guage track to bring up supplies. At the time Smith was working with a gang of the Eleventh engineers of New York State. When the Huns made their unexpected swoop the Eleventh engineers stood the brunt of the at- tack, several being killed and others taken prisoners. Though wounded Smith escaped and will soon be ready for service again. Already Planning for Home Gardens. Though the meeting held in the court house on Tuesday evening in the interest of home gardening was not as largely attended as it should have been those who were present were well repaid for attending. R. H. Olmstead, director of the Centre county Farm Bureau, presided and the chief speaker of the evening was Mr. Bechdel, of State College, who gave an illustrated talk on the proper methods of treating the soil to ob- tain best garden results, the time to plant various seeds, care of the gar- den, ete. He also advised the pur- chase of garden seeds as early as pos- sible owing to the fact that last year was a poor season for seed and the re- sult is a great scarcity of all kinds. He also advocated gardening on a larger scale this year than last, as everything that can possibly be grown will be needed for consumption either at home or abroad, and also stated that in planting gardens particular attention should be given to growing crops that can be stored or put up in some way for winter use. In this connection it might be stat- ed that the Woman’s club, at a regu- lar meeting on Wednesday evening, decided to cultivate four community gardens the coming summer instead of just one,” as they did last year. While they have not yet made any ar- rangements for the ground it is their desire to secure land for a garden in each of the three wards of Bellefonte and one in Bush’s Addition. Each garden will be under the supervision of a woman who has had experience in gardening, and the cultivation of the same will be done by the women living in the ward in which the gar- den is located. Bull Elk Killed by Game Wardens. The big bull elk in the herd placed on the Paddy Mountain game pre- serve several years ago by the State Game Commission of late became so ferocious that it was ordered killed by the State authorities, consequently three game wardens went to Paddy mountain last week and on Thursday succeeded in stalking the elk and kill- ing it, but it required sixteen shots before the big bull was laid low. The entire carcass was shipped to Harris- burg on Friday where the meat was distributed among the charitable in- stitutions while the hide and head will be mounted. The elk weighed eight hundred pounds, which was un- der weight for the size of the animal. The twelve cow elk on the preserve will not be disturbed. Blanks for War-Risk Insurance Here. The chairman of the civilian relief section of the Red Cross is in receipt of a supply of application blanks for war-risk insurance and any one wish- ing to interest enlisted men in taking out insurance may secure blanks by calling on the chairman. Men who enlisted before October 15th, 1917, if they wish to be benefit- ed by this insurance, must have their policy written before February 12th, while men who enlisted after that date must take out insurance within 120 days from date of enlistment. Mrs. Myrtle Fike Sent to the Peni- tentiary. At an adjourned session of argu- ment court on Tuesday morning Mrs. Myrtle Fike, who was convicted in May, 1916, of setting fire to her home at Axe Mann with the result that it was entirely destroyed, was sentenced by Judge Quigley to not less than one year nor more than three in the west- ern penitentiary. Macco Nash, a colored man from Philipsburg, plead guilty to pointing a revolver and was given six months in the county jail.
