mainder of the winter with Mrs. Wil-
kinson.
— The management of the Lyric
theatre is giving the public high class
motion pictures every evening during
the week, and the increase of patron-
age proves the wisdom of this deter- |
mination. Good pictures, good order
and a comfortable room are attract-
ing larger crowds every evening at
the Lyric.”
— _(Goosebone and other weather
prophets are predicting a green
Christmas and a mild winter with on-
ly one blizzard, and that in February.
With coal soaring around the ten dol-
lar mark’ every householder will no
doubt hope the goosebone prognosti-
cators will hit it this year, if they
never did before.
— Larry Vorhis, one of the most
popular students at State College
from 1907 to 1910, died at Wilkes-
Barre oit ‘Sunday and was buried at
Tarrytown, N.Y. ‘on Tuesday.

— Tha Bellefonte public schools
which weve closed for the second time
on November 20th on account of a
new outbreak of influenza, were open-

nothing more to conflict with keeping
the schools open.

has entirely recovered from his long
siege of illness as the result of an at-
tack of appendicitis, left on Tuesday
morning for East Pittsburgh where
he will take up his old work in the
Westinghouse plant. His job is that
of test-flcor work on motors, etc., and
something that he is quite expert at.
Don’t stand around on the
streets these chilly evenings, exposed
to the danger of colds and influenza,
but go to the Scenic and be comforta-
ble. Comfort for his patrons is one !
of the cardinal principles of manager
T. Clayton Brown; another is to give
them the best program of motion pic-
tures to be seen anywhere. These are
two incontrovertible reasons why you
should go to the Scenic.
— Father John E. Downes, of the
Bellefonte parish St. John’s Catholic
church, will ‘go to Snow Shoe to offi-
ciate at the laying of the cornerstone
of the mew Catholic church being
erected there. The laying of the stone

liver the sermon. In the absence of

vetary will hold services in the Belle-
fonte church on Sunday

MANY DEER SLAUGHTERED.
Four Days Kill in Centre County To-
tals 49 Deer and One Bear.
Picture in your mind a herd of for-
ty-nine deer, all bucks with visible
horns, and one good-sized bear in the
midst of the herd, and it would make
a very good showing, now wouldn’t
it? “Well, that picture would repre-

. The one prominent fact to note in
the list of deer killed is that with the
, exception of two they have all been

same system only under different
| names. During the summer every in-
dication pointed to the fact that deer !
| were very plentiful in that region,
| and the very fact that the Decker
| hunting party have already gotten
| their limit of six deer, the Bradfords |
| and the Hess-Homan party four each |
is evidence that the deer are not only
| very plentiful but are not very wild.
Already hunters are endeavoring to
| find a solution of the fact that not-
| withstanding the killing of nothing
t but bucks every year they seem to be
! growing more plentiful year after
| year instead of scarcer, and the only
| decision arrived at is the breeding of |

chapter wish every one who had any-
thing to do with the success of this
baseball project, the managers, play-
ers, enthusiastic supporters, to feel
that the entire membership of the

FOUR BIG HUNTERS BRAVE
Sallied Forth On Hunt of Game, but
Chased Back Home by Wildcats.
Once upon a time not so very long
ago—or to be more exact one day last
week—four stalwart young men, evi-
dently students at State College, sal-
lied forth into the foothills of the Al-
{ leghenies on the hunt of big, wild
game. Owing to the burning of the
engineering building and the closing
of the college for ten days the young
men decided to spend their enforced
vacation gunning for game, and the
, bigger and wilder the game might
prove to be the more to their liking.
They took along a big tent and
| plenty of eats, and in order to be on
' the safe side took along as arma-
i ment thirteen high-power rifles, a
' brace of big Colt revolvers, and the
| necessary complement of knives, etc.
They evidently deemed it inexpedient
to go too far away from civilization
| 50 pitched their camp just below the
| siding on the Bellefonte and Snow
| Shoe railroad at Gum Stump. They
' had visions of wild turkeys galore, a
| deer or two this week and bear
! enough to furnish pelts for each room
| in their frat house at the college.
' But the wild animals in that section
i of the mountains were too numerous,
| too big and too bold for the brave
| hunters and Tuesday evening they en-
| gaged a man to haul them out, bag
| and baggage, and they returned from
| their trip with a lot more knowledge
| of woodlore and wild animal life than |
| they had ever learned at college.
i The cause of their leaving the woods
| was owing to the fact that that par-,
| ticular section is literally alive with
| wildcats, panthers and bear—at least |
| that is what the young hunters aver.
| They claim that these depredatious
| that they persistently stole the bulk
| of their eatables which they had stor-
| ed outside their tent. On Sunday
they decided to protect their little
| store of meat at all hazards so took
| it inside the tent and stored it under
one of the cots.
that this particular cot was occupied
| by a naval recruit and he volunteered
| to defend the grub. Consequently he

‘larder. In that train of mind he fell
| asleep but sometime during the night
| he was awakened by a noise, and sit-
that he declared
headlights on a steam locomotive. It
darted from one part of the tent to
another and finally getting the scent
plunged under the very cot on which
he lay, grabbed the meat and was
gone. The young man avers that the
animal was too big for a wildcat or a
catamount, and just about the size of
a panther or a bear.
Believing it to be the latter he was
afraid to shoot while it was in’ the
tent for fear of “the rumptis it’ would
make,” and after it got out he fired
some nine or ten shots at it but miss-
ed every time. But the young hunt-
ers aver that it was nothing to see a-
dozen or more wild animals around
their tent every night and these regu-
lar visitations got on their nerves to
that extent that they decided to
break camp on Tuesday evening and
return to college, as the college was
about to reopen anyway.

What Will Become of the C. R. R. of
Penna.
Over two months have passed since
the last wheel was turned on the Cen-
tral Railroad of Pennsylvania but up
to the present no move has been made
to scrap the road and the line is still
intact from Bellefonte to Mill Hall.
While the decree of the Philadelphia
court dissolving the charter became
effective September 28th Drexel &
Co. gave the citizens of Centre coun-
ty thirty days’ grace in which to de-
termine whether ways and means
could be devised to take over the road,
but the time limit expired and the
money necessary to finance the propo-
sition and start the railroad under a
new management was not forthcom-
ing. Naturally, then, all hope of see-
ing the railroad resume business was
given up by those most interested.
While it was a condition the peo-
ple of Bellefonte, Mill Hall and Nit-
tany valley did not contemplate with-
out regret they could not help but an-
ticipate an early scrapping of the
road. But more than another month
has now passed and not a move has
been made in any direction.
firm to scrap the road but it has since
been rumored that the offer for that
amount had been withdrawn and one
nitely known, but it was evidently a
price that did not appeal to Drexel &
Co. And just what the next step will
bo in the history of the road is at
present unknown.
Red Cross Membership Campaign.
The Red Cross membership cam-
paign will be inaugurated in every
city, town or village in the United
States on Monday,
and will continue one week. In that
time it will be the endeavor of those
as members as many people as possi-
ble. The fact that the war is over
does not mean that the work of the
Red Cross is done. There will be
work for this splendid organization
during the ensuing three to five years,
and the fact that a yearly member-
ship costs but one dollar makes it
within the reach of most everyone to-
day. Therefore when you are ap-
proached for a membership when the
campaign is on put down your name

. Result of the United War Work Cam-
paign in Centre County.
The drive to raise $41,000.00 im
Centre county for the allied organi-
zations doing war work in the can-
tonments at home and abroad has of-
ficially closed, but as belated subscrip-
tions are still coming in it is impossi-
. ble to give a statement of exactly
how much the county will be finally
credited with.
. Suffice it to say that at this time
: the receipts and pledges show that we
| are away over the top and one more
| great achievement must be added to
the many highly commendable efforts
old Centre has made during the war.
The table published herewith shows
what the quotas of the various dis-
.tricts in the county were and what
these districts have thus far reported.
The industries gave most generous-
ly and these sums were credited in
nearly every instance to the township
in which the plant was located, al-
though the men, some, of them, lived
in adjoining townships and boroughs.
In the same manner the Victory boys
and girls were credited where they at-
tended school, although both State
College and Bellefonte High schools
draw their attendance from adjacent
localities.

A New Departure for The Basket
Shop.
The Basket Shop, after. twelve
years of specializing upon hand-made
baskets, has decided to enlarge its
scope of work by adding a new de-
partment to its shop.
The basket weaving will be contin-
ued as formerly, but the shop feels
that during the years of reconstruc-
tion as well as in war times, when all
will be called upom to economize in
every particular, there is an apparent
{need for simplicity in children’s
clothes, and that there is an opening
for this line of work in Bellefonte and
the surrounding towns.
The models designed by the shop
{ are for every-day general use and
have been made with the four follow-
ing basic ideas in mind:
Simple lines, easily laundered, serv-
iceable materials, correctly priced.
These dresses will be shown for the
first time in Bellefonte at The Basket
Shop’s regular Christmas sale, to be
held at the State-Centre Electric Co.,
December 14th to December 24th.
A cordial invitation to attend this
sale is extended to the public. ~~ 48-1t
Red Cross to Begin New Work.
|
{
The Red Cross rooms in the Mason-
ic building will reopen on Monday,
December 16th. The days of the
week for working in the rooms, and
other details will be announced later.
| With the signing of the armistice
and the virtual ending of the war, the
' Red Cross work has had to be re-or-
| ganized, but it is none the less im-
| portant than it was, and will proba-
bly have to go on for more than a
. year. The new materials for the ref-
' ugee and reconstruction work which
has been assigned to the Bellefonte
. chapter have been received, and there
| will be plenty of work for all when
| the work rooms reopen.

{ plays the leading feminine role in

teen years old. She played and sang
| herself into the hearts of London
| theatre goers and made her first tour
| of the United States while yet in her
teens. She spent two years in France
| with the French Red Cross and is now
reaping her reward in the plaudits of
| a music-loving public. Don’t fail to
| see her at Garman’s.
