In fact it might be stated that it is over- crowded. Its capacity is an even one hundred and enough new students came to run the total up to one hun- dred and three. Whether they will be able to accommodate the extra three has not been definitely determined at this writing, but it must be cause for genuine satisfaction on the part of headmaster James R. Hughes and his corps of able assistants to know that at last the old Bellefonte Academy is filled to overflowing. ; Dr. Wesion to Resign as Secretary of The Surrender of the German Fleet. the Local Y. At the meeting of the board of di- which is scheduled for next Monday night plans will be discussed for the complete rehabilitation of the Asso- ciation with a view to putting it in so, a continuance of the benefits they found in the huts of the Red Triangle on the other side. needs for such endeavor in this com- munity the Association will either be lifted out of the rut of inaction into which it has been allowed to fall be- cause of indifference of our people and made a constructive, active centre of christian welfare work or be shut up entirely. The entire situation will be viewed from a standpoint as if it were an en- tirely new proposition. Old preju- dices, criticisms, failures ana success- es alike will be forgotten and the pres- ent and the future only taken into consideration. In order to make such an atmosphere possible it has called for some big, broad-minded action on the part of those heretofore connected with the Associatior. and they have everyone tendered their resignations, | so that it is now squarely up to the community as to whether we are going to put our shoulders to the wheel and make it what it should be lor close it and save it from the furth- er unfair criticisms that our indiffer- ence has continuously brought upon it. DR. WESTON SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF. The “Watchman” knows that Dr. Weston has shouldered a lot of the criticism. He has been almost alone in the work and like everybody else in a similar position has probably gotten more than his share of it. It knows, also, that in many ways he has been an efficient and very capable sec- retary and the proof of his deep in- terest in the welfare of the work here could not be more positively impress- ed upon our people than by the action he will take next Monday night when he will voluntarily resign. This proves beyond peradventure that he means just what he says in the fol- lowing interview which he has accord- ed the writer: After a service of ten years as sec- retary of the Y. M. C. A. I have de- cided to hand in my resignation Mon- day night when the new board of di- rectors meet, so that they may have a free hand in carrying out their new plans. I want to thank the many friends and the general public for the kind words, sympathy and support they have given me in all these years and trust the community will stand by the new Board of Directors for the sake of the boys and young men. I have always stood for the best and Righast ings for the body, mind and Sp may always be the motto of the Asso- ciation. : bye SEAL WBC WESTON.

Warfield vs. Kelley Case Reversed by Supreme Court. : Among the decisions handed down ! by the Supreme court, sitting in Phil- adelphia last Saturday, was a decis- ion in the case of Warfield vs. Kelley, of Centre county, in which the action of the lower court was reversed and | the costs put upon the appellee. The case dates back to the old Ca- to Coal Mining company of which the late Frank Warfield owned sixty-five shares of stock. The company later was re-organized under new manage- ment and in the reorganization new stock was issued at the rate of one share for three of the old. This was after Mr. Warfield’s death and Mrs. Warfield brought an action against the new management to recover her full sixty-five shares of stock. The case was heard before Judge A. W. Johnson, of Lewisburg, presiding in the Centre county court, and he gave a decision in favor of the plaintiff. The defendants appealed with the above result. The American Committee for Relief in the Near East, The week from January 12th to January 19th has been appointed for the raising of $30,000,000 for relief in the Near East to sustain the lives of 3,950,000 Christians and Jews through their winter and their return to a new life free from religious and political persecution. The name American committee in Armenia and Syrian Relief has been changed by the American committee for Relief in the Near East—cover- ing all non-Moslem sufferers, Jew, Catholic and Protestant in Greece, Armenia, Syria and Persia. The com- mittee is formed of the most promi- nent men in the United States of every shade of religious and political belief. Centre county is expected to do her share. Bellefonte already has an organized committee which ex- pects next week to give every one in town a chance to voluntarily contrib- ute through churches, other organiza- tions, or individually to these people be sent to all other communities in Centre county asking them te Co-0p- erate in this work. a. Cova The postponed Pennsylvania State conference Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution will be held in Harris- burg January 27th to 30th inclusive, with the new Penn-Harris hotel as headquarters. All business sessions will be held in the convention hall of the hotel. & Special events will be a patriotic meeting on Monday evening, January | 27th, when the president general, Mrs. ! George Thacher Guernsey; the state regent, Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, and the Rev. Dr. Robert Bagnell, who | recently visited camps abroad, will be’ the speakers. Nay ' Tuesday evening Governor and Mrs. William C. Sproul will receive the | conference and gentlemen guests at the executive mansion, which will be ! the first social event of their admin- istration. An afternoon tea in the historic home of Mr. and Mrs. William Elder Bailey and an informal recep- tion with the Bishop of the Harris- burg diocese and Mrs. James Henry Darlington at the See house will also be one of the enjoyable functions of the gathering. The Rev. Dr. Henry A. Hanson will give an illustrated lecture on “The Man Without a Country.” H. E: €. OVERTON, State Pub. Com. William H. Berry Guest of Bellefonte Presbyterians. The male members of the Bellefonte Presbyterian church were all fed up last Saturday evening. First, they were given a supper in the chapel by the members of the Ladies Aid socie- ty which for “substantial eats” was declared by all to have been “the best ever.” After eating they were treat- ed to a breezy little talk by William H. Berry, collector of the port of Phil- adelphia. Mr. Berry is no stranger in Belle- fonte, having visited the town when he campaigned for the State Treas- uryship and also when he ran for Gov- | ernor on the Keystone ticket after bolting the regular Democratic nomi- nee, but on this occasion he cast poli- tics to the four winds and made a very entertaining talk; dealing in gen- eralities mostly and not confining him- self to any special topic. About sev- enty-five gentlemen attended the sup- per. On Sunday morning Mr, Berry gave a talk in the Presbyterian church, tak- ing for his topic environment. The point he emphasized to his hearers was that every man and woman should make the most of their imme- diate surroundings, be it in public life or private, and in that way they would not only be honored and respected in the community but would fill a sphere in life more completely than if they were always grasping after the unat- tainable, in their desperate need. Letters will | ' threshermen’s 1 should be organized in Pennsylvania | similar to the kind organized in some LOCAL FARMERS TO GET NI- TRATE OF SODA. Government to Sell Nitrate for Fer- tilizer Through County Agent. Notice has been given to R. H. Olm- stead, agricultural agent for Centre county, that the U. S. Department of Agriculture will sell at cost a supply of nitrate of soda to farmers in Cen- tre county. The nitrate will be sold under the authority of the Food Control act and subsequent legislation relating there- to. The price will be $81.00 a ton, free on board cars at loading point or port. Farmers are to pay in addition freight to their shipping points. HOW TO OBTAIN NITRATE. Applications for a part of the ni- trate bought by the government will | be received only from actual farmers or owners or holders of farms for use on their land, and may be made through County Agent R. H. Olm- stead, or through any member of a local committee consisting of W. C. Smeltzer, Bellefonte, and John S. Dale, State College. No money will be required with the application but upon notice from the authorized representative of the De- partment of Agriculture farmers who have signed applications must depos- it with a local bank, association, or in- dividual, designated by the Secretary of Agriculture to act as the farmers’ agent for that purpose, money to cov- er the cost of the fertilizer except the freight charge. In practically every case the money will be paid to a county nitrate distributor designated by the Department of Agriedlture. Nitrate will be shipped to distribu- tors on sight draft with bill of lading attached. Distributors will pa drafts, take up the bills of lading, collect money from farmers and dis- tribute nitrate to farmers. Arrange- ments have been made to secure a large quantity of nitrate and it is be- lieved that all reasonable require- ments can be met. All orders must be placed by Janu- | ary 25th. In communities where pos- sible it will pay farmers to club to- gether and order in carload lots, as about $3.00 per ton was saved to those farmers who ordered in this way last year. Annual Meeting of Centre County Threshermen. The annual meeting of the Centre county Threshermen and Farmers’ Protective association was held in the grand jury room at the court house last Saturday. Owing to the cold weather and snow-drifted roads the attendance was not as large as it should have been, but a splendid and harmonious spirit was manifest among those present. Most of the old officers were re- elected, the list being as follows: President—G. W. Smith, Zion. Vice President—J. S. Condo, Jack- sonville.. i .Seeretary ; a J] surer—Isaac Un- ‘ dooRthetan dud. Treasure wuss Tr Pennsylvania Conference D. A. R, Executive Committee—E. S. Weis- er, Millheim; George W. Searson, Linden Hall; O. H. Nason, Julian; James N. Smith, Howard, and W. K. Corl, State College. Compensation insurance is now one of the foremost questions of interest to threshermen and strong protests were voiced against what is termed the exorbitant increase in the pre- mium charges, increases not warran- ted by the facts, because so far as known there was not an accident to a i thresherman in Centre county last year, and consequently no demand for compensation insurance. A thorough discussion of the matter was finally deferred for a special meeting to be held in the near future for the pur- pose of hearing the report of the state committee. The feeling among the: threshermen is that if reasonable rates cannot be obtained a mutual insurance of the other States, and which are proving a success in every way. i] W. Fred Reynolds, food adminis- trator for Centre county, was present and read a letter from Howard Heinz, federal food administrator for Penn- sylvania, calling upon threshermen to make their machines good now for one hundred per cent. work during the season of 1919. This is something ‘that should be done before storing the machines, as the grain threshing di- vision of the Federal Food Adminis- tration, as well as manufacturers, have given assurance that there will be no reduction in the price of sup- |. plies and repairs the coming year due to peace negotiations. Prof. R. W. Blasengame, of State College, who is the state leader under the grain threshing division of the Federal Food Administration, was in- troduced by C. L. Goodling, superin- tendent of the State College experi- mental farms, and gave a brief talk on the importance of care in operat- ing the thresher so that all waste be prevented, assuring the threshermen that if any difficulty is experienced in securing necessary machinery or repairs he will gladly lend his aid if the matter is properly reported to him. ‘ When the meeting adjourned it was with the understanding that it is to convene at the call of the president. ——Appollo’s extra fine paper wrapped caramels at 50 cents per pound, and salt water taffy at twen- ty-five cents per pound, both specials, at Ceader’s tomorrow (Saturday.) 2-1t ——DMrs. R.

Brief Meeting of Borough Council. Seven members were present at the regular meeting of borough council on Monday evening, the first in the new year but which in reality was de- voted principally to the closing up of business for the old year. A written communication was re- ceived announcing the election of Jo- seph Shaughnesey as chief fire mar- shall; Harry Haag first assistant and William Steele second assistant. The _ electiofis were approved by council. i The Street committee had nothing | of special importance to report while i the Water committee reported that . the reservoir had been cleaned. i The Fire and Police committee re- ported a fire at the James Herron : home, in the Shoemaker property on i nort Allegheny street, on January 2nd, when a coal oil stove exploded, and another fire Monday evening in "the John Eckel meat market on : High street.
