The pictures are interesting and the music good. If you’re not a regular patron of this motion picture theatre you should become one as it is growing in popularity every day. Al. S. Garman, of Tyrone, has sold his hotel in that place to George C. Wilson, owner of the Wilson thea- tre in Tyrone. The hotel has thirty- two rooms and it is the general belief that Mr. Wilson intends converting it into an apartment house, when the ho- tels go dry. The price paid was $28,000. George Glenn has decided to embark in the chair repairing busi- ness. He will take over the old pho- tograph gallery of his uncle, Charles Glenn, oa: south Water street, and will make a specialty of caning and repairing chairs and mending umbrel- las.

Clayton Brown, of the Scenic theatre, and you will promptly see that he is offering the public a line of motion pictures that cannot be seen anywhere else in Cen- tre county. He is always on the watch for something big and unusually at- tractive and in this way he keeps his theatre up to a high standard. This fact is recognized not only by Belle- fonte people but by strangers who go to the Scenic while visiting in Belle- fonte. ——Another slight fire occurred in the D. I. Willard store on Monday morning, originating from the flue. After the fire of a few weeks ago the flue was overhauled on the side where the fire occurred but nothing was done to the other side which was considered safe. But it appears that several bricks had tumbled inward from the wall of the flue and the result was a fire. While the flames were extin- guished before they gained any head- way more or less damage was done by water. William Cox, a former resident of Coleville and a member of the Cole- ville band, and now residing in Ty- rone, was taken to the Altoona hos- pital last Thursday evening where he underwent an operation for appendi- citis the next morning. He came through the operation fine and was so well on Saturday that he was able to see his mother, who went up from here for a short time. To add to the mis- fortunes of the Cox family Billy’s youngest child, three years old, took diphtheria while he was in the hos- pital and now their home is quaran- tined. BAD BURGLAR DRIVEN OFF. i Foiled in an Attempt to Rob Jeweler | Frank Galbraith. A bold, bad burglar with a danger- . , ous looking revolver isn’t enough to: | frighten jeweler Frank Galbraith, be- ! cause he always keeps a handy, little | shootin’ iron within easy reach, and { he knows how to use it, too. In fact { he got a little practice on Saturday | evening when a strange young man walked into his store and attempted to hold him up for his money and jew- elry. The diverting little incident happen- ed along about 9:30 o’clock. Mr. Gal- braith was sitting at his workbench repairing a watch. While thus en- gaged a man opened the door and in- stead of stepping right in, sort of slid in sidewise and after shutting the door took several steps into the room and away from the counter. Mr. Gal- braith had not yet spoken to the man when he heard a sharp click and look- ing up he gazed right into the muzzle i of a revolver. At the same time the man said: “I want your money and your jewelry, and I want it quick.” Ever since Mr. Galbraith has oceu- pied his Bishop street store he has kept a loaded revolver lying within easy reach on a little shelf right un- der his work bench and never had any occasion to use it. But Saturday night it came in just right, and when the burglar demanded his money and jew- elry Mr. Galbraith got up and as he did he grabbed his revolver and shov- ed it in the face of the man, exclaim- ing, “Now you (deleted) get out of here.” For just the fraction of a min- ute the two men stood rigid, each pointing a revolver at the other, and then the burglar weakened. He edg- ed toward the door and finally stam- nered, “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot.” Getting the door open he jumped in- to the street and ran down toward Al- legheny street. Mr. Galbraith got to the door as quickly as possible but the man had already disappeared. Strange as it may seem while the attempted hold-up was taking place not a person passed the Galbraith store but when Mr. Galbraith stepped out on the concrete step, still flour- ishing his revolver, a young man came along and inquired, “Why for the re- volver?” Mr. Galbraith told him what had happened and the man went on his way up Bishop street. He had not gone far until he met Sheriff Yar- nell and he told him of the incident. The sheriff and two or three other men went to Galbraith’s store and asked Mr. Galbraith if he could identify the man and he expressed himself as confi- dent of being able to do so. Conse- quently he locked up his store and in company with the sheriff visited every bar-room, pool-room and other places where a young man might loiter, in town, but failed to get any trace of the individual. Mr. Galbraith describes him as a young man, perhaps twenty-five years old, smooth shaven, about five feet ten inches in height and rather slen- der build. He wore a brown slouch hat pulled down over his forehead and a dark suit. J. Will Conley avers that a man answering the above descrip- tion came into the John Meese store about nine o’clock and asked for a piece of tobacco but when the clerk told him the price was eleven cents he swore he wouldn’t pay that amount and walked out. While the above attempted robbery is the first incident of the kind to hap- pen in Bellefonte for some time there is no reason to believe it will be the last. In fact a wave of such crimes is now sweeping over the country, in the small towns as well as the large cities. During the past fortnight rob- bers have made some good hauls over in Lewistown. At one place they got $300 in cash; at the home of Dr. W. A. Alexander they stole a small amount of cash and several hundred dollars in Liberty bonds; W. T. Shil- ling had a pocketbook containing $184 stolen from his room. L. B. Kunes, a groceryman, was robbed of $140 while a pocketbook containing $2,000 was overlooked, but the meanest theft was perpetrated on G. F. Stackpole, editor of the Lewistown Gazette. That gentleman lost a bunch of keys on which were the keys to his office. He advertised the fact and two nights later his office was robbed of $148, while the robber did not even leave the keys for the editor. —— arson rn State College Trustees Elected. State Senator William E. Crow, of Uniontown, was elected a trustee of The Pennsylvania State College last Thursday to succeed the late William H. Patterson, of Clearfield. The appointments of Governor Sproul and Secretary of Agriculture Rasmussen, both ex-officio members, were ratified by the executive com- mittee. E. S. Bayard, Pittsburgh, and Congressman Edgar R. Kiess, Williamsport, were reappointed trus- tees by Governor Sproul. The Gen- eral Alumni association elected George M. Downing, Philadelphia; William H. Walker, Boston, and James G. White, New York. The following trustees were elect- ed by delegates from societies: Wil- liam: T. Creasy, Catawissa; George G. Hutchinson, Warriorsmark; L. T. Mec- Fadden, Canton, and Chester J. Ty- son, Flora Dale. ——Miss Mary A. Butts was recent- ly appointed a deputy in the office of the internal revenue collector in Phil- adelphia under collector Ephriam Led- erer at a salary of $1,200 a year. She took hold of her new position on Mon- day of last week and her work is that of cashier. Miss Butts lived in Belle- fonte until she and her sister, Miss Henrietta, went to Philadelphia a number of years ago, the latter hold- ing a very good position in the Phila- delphia postoffice. David Bartlet Jr., has been promoted to chief clerk at the P. R. R. freight station in this place, tak- ing the place made vacant by the re- | cent resignation of Jesse Derstine. en cmon es ee A eee The Otterbein Guild of the United Brethren church will hold a bake sale church next Saturday afternoon and night. Ice cream and cake will be served. tee ciation has decided to replace the present unsightly fence along the cemetery on Howard street with a neat wire fence just as soon in the spring as it will be possible to do the work. The material out of the old fence will be used in repairing the fence on Wilson street and along east High. ———1If you can’t boost! Don’t knock! Lyric Theatre Co: D. W.

A, is expected home some- time between the first and middle of next month. During his absence some very decided improvements have been made Lutheran church. Walker D. Hines, director gen- eral of railroads, has made a person- al appeal to all railroad employees not to sacrifice their Liberty bonds, and this applies to every man and woman in the country who hold bonds. Keep them as an investment if you are at all able to hold them, but if cir- cumstances make it necessary for you to get rid of them, consult your bank- er and he will help you to get every cent they are worth on the market. ——The committee appointed to look after the remodeling of the Belle- fonte Y. M. C. A. held a meeting on Monday evening and went over the plans as prepared and submitted by architect Anna M. Keichline. While the plans are rather comprehensive and provide for every needful and much-desired improvement, the esti- mated cost of the work is 1a excess of the amount alloted for the changes out of the fund raised. So far no re- quest has been made for bids for do- ing the work as the committee is still considering the plans with reference to certain modifications in order that the cost may not exceed the sum ap- propriated for the work. Wm. S. Hart is coming to the Lyric theatre soon in his latest pro- duction, “Breed of Men.” See this wonderful western character at his best. 11-1t ——James Linn moved his family and household goods from Bellefonte to Lewistown yesterday, where at present he is engaged as superintend- ent of a large grocery store. Mr. Linn came to Bellefonte from Burn- ham about eight months ago and en- tered the employ of the Potter-Hoy Hardware company as a traveling salesman. About two months ago he received a very flattering offer to re- turn to Lewistown and did so, but did not move his family there until yes- terday. His daughter, Miss Mary Linn, will retain her position as ste- nographer and bookkeeper for the Beatty Motor company until April first, when she will also return to Lew- istown. —3$10 sample cordovan shoes, $6 at Yeager’s. 11-1t mma rreerrm rs A em + mreree cere ——At a luncheon given by Rev. and Mrs. James Riley Bergey, at their home in Baltimore on Saturday of last week, announcement was made of the engagement of their daughter, Miss Helen Elizabeth Bergey, to Raymond R. Jenkins, of Philadelphia. The for- tunate young man hails from Belle- fonte. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Jenkins, now of Tyrone, a graduate of The Pennsylvania State College and now holds a very respon- sible position in the offices of the Gen- eral Electric company, at Philadel- phia. He was only recently discharg- ed from the U. S. service, having been in the Searchlight division. The date of the wedding has not yet been made publie. Men, if you can wear a size be- tween 5% and 7, you can get a bargain at Yeager’s. 11-1t Some time ago the “Watch- man” contained a notice to the effect that Recorder William H. Brown would record free of cost the discharg- es of returned soldiers just as soon as he procured a suitable book. Sample pages were submitted to him by John- ston & Co., blank book manufacturers of Pittsburgh. They represented the kind of book that is being used gen- erally throughout the State but it was not up to Recorder Brown’s idea of what the book for Centre county should be, and he gave Johnston & Co’s representative an idea of what he wanted. On Tuesday he received sample pages for approval and they are practically a fac simile of a sol- dier’s discharge. Not only is the wording the same but the printing in the book will be in the same style of type as that used on a soldier’s dis- charge and each page is embellished with the United States coat of arms. One page will be devoted to each dis- charge and every one presented will be recorded exactly as filled out. ——The Lyric theatre is always first—others follow. 11-1t in the basement of the!

In addition to the above the law firm ‘of Orvis & Zerby will likely be mov- ied into the building from Temple | Court, as they are not only counsel for ! the above companies but financially in- ' terested. Just as soon as the deed is made out and delivered carpenters will be put to work making the necessary changes in the interior of the build- | ing to make it as convenient as pos- | sible for the purposes intended. Some | partitions will have to be torn out and ; possibly others installed, but the work { will be rushed so that the building | will be ready for occupancy by April | first. En Bed Cross. | A great campaign on the part of the American Red Cross to collect [ 10,000 tons of used clothing in the i United States for the benefit of all the Eropean countries, except the Central Empires, will open on Mon- day, March 17th, and continue for one week. It is of the greatest impor- tance that all Chapters exert them- selves to the utmost in order that the Pennsylvania-Delaware division may have a place of honor in the great work to be done. The Beliefonte Chapter must do its best in this cam- paign, as it has done in every Red Cross campaign in which it has taken part. Clothing for this drive should be sent any day next week to the Red Cross room in Petrikin hall, where an able committee in charge of Mrs. R. S. Brouse will sort the garments and prepare them for shipment. Our di- vision allotment is 900 tons. How much of this will our Chapter give ? Each auxiliary is expected to do its very best to collect its share of this clothing and to send all that is collect- 2d so Mrs. Brouse as promptly as pos- sible. The Red Cross visiting nurse has proven a great success in the short time since the nursing service was originated. In the past month eleven calls have been made and the nurse has spent forty-two hours caring for the sick in private homes. Anyone desiring the services of the nurse at any time: should communicate with Miss Elder, at the hospital. Knitters are wanted to work on the refugee garments alloted to this Chap- ter. Any person desiring to help with this work can secure instructions and yarn from Mrs. Waddle, at the Brant house. ——DMen’s $10 sample shoes, $6 at Yeager’s. 11-1t —— GP mre Farm Bureau News Notes.

The Allied Amusement company will present “Stolen Sweets,” from the French of Pierre Dumas, at Gar- man’s on Tuesday evening, March 18th. Every on who is interested in dramatic history knows that the greatest emotional plays the stage has seen have been adapted from the French. “Camille,” “The Clemenceau Case,” “Sapho,” “La Tosca,” “Gis- monda,” “Du Barry,” were all pro- ducts of French dramatists, and they will live as long as the drama holds an appeal. “Stolen Sweets” was writ- ten by Pierre Dumas, one of the greatest of the modern dramatic au- thors, and it is a worthy successor of the above-mentioned masterpieces. It has for its theme the “eternal trian- gle,” and the subject is treated in a startlingly realistic manner.

S. S. Bulletin. In order to better prosecute the sale of war savings stamps the east- ern district of Pennsylvania has been divided into four sub-districts, and W. Harrison Walker, of Bellefonte, has been appointed chairman of Group 3, composed of the counties of Clearfield, Elk, McKean, Potter, Cameron, Clin- ton, Lycoming, Tioga, Northumber- land, Montour, Union and Centre. Mr. Walker, however, will retain the chairmanship of Centre county. In order to get his work lined up in the district he has called a meeting of Group 3 to be held in the court house in Bellefonte today, at 10 o’clock a. m. Among those interested in the work of selling war savings stamps who will be present and address the meeting are Mr. J. Curtis Patterson, assistant director of the war savings organization of Philadelphia; George E. Lloyd, chairman of Group No. 4, of Carlisle, and John G. Redding, chair- man of Lycoming county.

Bellefonte so far leads all oth- er districts in the county in the pur- chase of 1919 stamps having bought up to March 1st, 1706. Quite a num- ber of postoffices in the county have not recorded a single sale. Up to date there are seven limit purchasers in the county. Chairman Walker will is- sue monthly bulletins telling of the progress of the sale of the stamps in Centre county and in Group No. 3. -——Last week the “Watchman” an- nounced that Henry M.
