: It will be gratifying to the
many friends of County Treasurer
David Chambers to learn that he is
recovering very nicely from the op-

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.

Scenic is the one place of popular
amusement in Bellefonte where some-
thing of interest can always be seen.

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.

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.

——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.

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.
