C. Showers, of Milesburg, drove to Bellefonte in his covered butcher wag- on to deliver a dressed calf to butch- er John Eckel. His wife was with him in the wagon and in order to un- load the calf he backed into the curb in front of Eckel’s market on High street between twe wagons standing there. Hardly had he gotten out of his wagon when a farmer came along with a load of hay. This frightened Mr. Showers’ horse and the animal first attempted to swing up High street but could not on account of the wag- on standing there. The horse then turned around the other way and up- set the butcher wagon, Mrs. Showers and all, out into the street. The wag- on top was smashed and Mrs. Show- ers was caught inside of it, but fortu- nately the horse was so penned in with wagons that he could not run away and he was caught and held un- til Mrs. Showers was released from her perilous predicament. She was taken to a nearby physician's office where her injuries were found to be merely superficial, consisting of bruis- es on her right hip and leg. The wag- on top was badly wrecked but not much damage done otherwise. | | | i ! court house at Bellefonte for the pur- | pose of organizing a Farm Loan as- | sociation in Centre county. | Association for Centre ; County. Farm Loan On Wednesday, March 26th, at 1:30 p. m., there will be a meeting in the This meeting is being called at the request of several farmers who wish to obtain a loan from the Federal Land bank of Baltimore. In order to secure such a loan one must belong to a loan association. To form such an association at least ten members who wish to borrow a total of not less than $20,000 must make application. Ac- cording to the plan one can borrow 50 per cent. of the appraised value of the land and 20 per cent. of the insur- ed permanent improvements. The rate of interest is 53 per cent. payable semi-annually and 1 per cent. of the debt must be paid each year. The whole debt or any part of it can be paid off on any interest paying date after five years. As long as the in- terest and principal is paid a loan can never be called and one is safe from any foreclosure. A representative from the Federal Land bank of Baltimore will be pres- ent to give a talk on a Farm Loan as- sociation and to answer any questions that may come up. If you are inter- ested be sure to be present at this meeting and bring any of your neigh- bors who might be interested. If you are thinking of waiting until an as- sociation is formed before joining, change your mind and be present at this meeting. If there are not enough present to organize an association will not be formed. Be sure to come out and help Centre county organize a Farm Loan association. R. H. OLMSTEAD, County Agent. New Band Organized in Bellefonte by the Odd Fellows. Bellefonte is again to have a band and let us all hope that as a musical organization it will have a long lease of life and that we may all have oc- casioh to enjoy its music frequently. The band has been organized by Cen- tre Lodge, No. 193, I. O. O. F., and already has twenty-two members en- rolled with expectations of more to follow. Most of the members are old band men and as they have started practice it will not be long until they hope to be in shape to deliver any kind of music on short notice. The band will be in charge of Harry E. Garbrick, cornetist, of Coleville, and as the nucleus of the organiza- tion is the Odd Fellows orchestra, of which Willis E. Wion is leader, they will have some able talent to draw on. While the lodge members have con- templated for some time the organi- zation of a band it was brought to a head at this time in order to get into shape to attend the annual Odd Fel- lows reunion and celebration at Wil- liamsport on Saturday, April 26th, which the Centre Lodge hopes to at- tend in a body and with their own band in full uniform. While it is yet a little early to spec- ulate on how largely Centre county will be represented at the Williams- port gathering yet a number of the Lodges in the county are already con- sidering the question of going in a body if the right kind of railroad ac- commodations can be secured. And Centre county can turn out a good- sized representation if they decide to do it. All told there are fourteen lodges in the county, three encamp- ments and four lodges of the Re- bekahs, the total members running up into the thousands. Thousands of Dollars Income Tax Paid by Centre Countians. Centre countians paid many thous- ands of dollars in income tax during the past fortnight, but exactly how much cannot be told definitely. The income tax man for Centre county, in the person of Col. H. S. Taylor, was the busiest man in Bellefonte last Friday and Saturday. During the colonel’s previous sitting in Belle- fonte he thought he was busy, but it was not a patchin’ to the way he had to hustle last Friday and Saturday. He not only assisted in making out returns and looked over those already made out to be sure they were right, but was his own cashier and received all moneys and checks tendered him. The smallest income tax paid to him was just 43 cents and the largest a check for $5,000. And at that, he didn’t handle the large returns, such as the banks, Pennsylvania Match company, etc. But he estimates that the amount of tax which flowed through his hands aggregated any- where from $50,000 to $75,000, and may reach $100,000, as he has not yet gotten it all compiled. At that it is quite probable that the colonel handled the smallest portion of in- come tax paid by Centre countians, and if a fair account could be gotten of it it would not be surprising if the total was in excess of a quarter of a million dollars. Intercollegiate Wrestling Bouts at State College. Lovers of the mat will have an op- portunity to see something good in the way of wrestling at State College on Friday and Saturday of next week when the intercollegiate champion- ships will be held. The colleges rep- resented in the league are Penn, Le- high, Cornell, Princeton, Columbia and State. Little is known of the teams representing the other colleg- es but State expects to put her best men on the mat, among them being Lieut. (Babe) Locke in the unlimited class.

Quigley on Monday approved the bail bonds submitted by the attorneys for I. G. Gray and his two sons, Clyde and George, and the three of them were released from jail until such time as they may be summoned be- fore the court to answer to the final decision of the Superior court on their appeal for a new trial. Irvin Gray and Clyde left the jail on Monday evening and returned to their sepa- rate homes but George, wito was suf- fering with what the physician term- ed a mild case of the flu, did not leave the jail until Tuesday morning, when he, too, returned home. ——“Don’t Change Your Husband,” a five reel Cecil B. DeMille produc- tion, is undoubtedly one of the best releases on the Paramount-Artcraft program this year. It will be shown at the Lyric theatre next Wednesday, giving all the patrons a chance to see some of the best pictures made, the only kind exhibited at the Lyric thea- tre. Make arrangements now to spend next Wednesday night at the Lyric theatre. 12-1t Mrs. Hess Celebrated 80th Birthday .Anniversary. Mrs. Sarah C. Hess, widow of the late Michael Hess, was eighty years old on Wednesday and her daughter, Mrs. Harvey Shaffer, with whom she makes her home, surprised her by having all the members of her family there for a big dinner. Notwith- standing the fact that Mrs. Hess is in the best of health and around the house with the other members of the family Mrs. Shaffer made her plans and carried them out so tactfully that her mother never suspected a thing out of the ordinary until her children began to arrive on Wednesday morn- ing. Those present included Mr. and Mrs. Ira Hess and John Hess, of Al- toona; Mr. and Mrs. Newton Hess, of State College; Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Hess, of College township; Mr. and Mrs. Hall Bottorf and Miss Margaret Bottorf, of Lemont, and Samuel C. Hess, of State College. Of course the big dinner prepared by Mrs. Shaffer was one of the features of the gather- ing enjoyed by all present. State College: Creamery Entertained Patrons. In accordance with a custom in vogue the past several years the State College creamery entertained its pa- trons in the big dairy building at the college on Wednesday evening. Ice cream, cake and coffee were served and as an illustration of the interest taken in this annual gathering over eight hundred guests were present. Over fifty large cakes, provided by the lady patrons, were cut up and served during the evening. In the center of the room in the dairy building in which the banquet was held was the prize Holstein cow of the college herd. This cow has a record of earning $520.00 net last year so that she is literally speaking worth her weight in gold. Dean R. L. Watts presided over the function and after making a happy little address of welcome gave some interesting figures on dairying in gen- eral but more specifically pointed out the advantages of keeping only the best blooded herd of cows that it is possible to secure. Brief talks were also made by several other men con- nected with the dairy department of the college. Reub Welty Had the Banner Sale in the County. There have been a number of big public sales in Centre county this spring, with seemingly no limit on the prices paid for stock and farm imple- ments. The big sale last week was that of D.M. Kline, near Axe Mann, last Thursday. The attendance was large and the sale totalled $7932.00. And in addition to this Mr. Kline held in reserve about three thousand dol- lar’s worth of stock and implements which he will use himself during the summer in farming on a smaller scale than he has been doing. But on Wednesday the sale of the stock and implements owned by Reu- ben Welty, who farmed the Kerstet- ter farm on the back Buffalo Run road, made the high mark thus far recorded. It amounted to $8959.13 and Mr. Welty’s horses, though very fine, did not bring quite as much as was expected. George M. Harter, of Nittany, who clerked the H. H. McKibben sale at Clintondale on Monday, is authority for the fact that everything went sky high there. Wilbur Gunsallus bought a team of horses which went for $670; Warren Long got another team for $590, and another team was purchas- ed by Thomas Ruhl for $590. William Packer bought one horse for $282.50, Charles Grieb one for $268, and Clyde Smith one for $200, making the aver- age price of the nine horses $288.95. The sale’ amounted to $5888.02 and Mr. McKibben reserved enough stock and implements to stock a two horse farm which he recently purchased. Notwithstanding the fact that the sale ran up to almost six thousand dollars sixty per cent. of the total amount was paid in cash. ——The public schools of Bellefonte were dismissed at three o’clock on Wednesday out of respect to the mem- ory of Dr. N. C. Schaeffer, the late su- perintendent of public instruction, who was buried at Lancaster that afternoon. Two Year Old Child Drowned at Orviston. {The “Watchman’s” Orviston corres- pondent furnished us with the follow- | ing pathetic account of the drowning I of a little girl at that place on Tues- day: up as it was on Tuesday. One of the saddest deaths occurred when Lillian, the little two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Powell, was acci- dentally drowned in a run that flows past their home. Owing to the recent heavy rains both the run and Beech creek are run- ning heavily, which makes a very anx- ious time for the mothers of Orviston, as the banks are anything but secure. Mrs. Powell, who is an invalid and unable to be about, had been trying to watch the little one but as she has an infant of only a few weeks, it was not difficult for the child to elude it’s mother and slip outside. The mother missed her almost at once and went to look for her, but all she saw was the little cap her babe had worn floating down the run. In response to Mrs. Powell’s call for help several of our noble boys ran to her aid and soon found the lifeless, little form lodged near the bank below the home of J. E. Harvey, and they picked it up and carried it to the heart-brok- en mother. One of the first on the spot was our pastor, Rev. Walter Merrick, who is always ready to help in every way. He sent at once for the nurse who is caring for James Heverly’s family, but in spite of all that human skill could do the child could not be resus- citated. Strong men and boys wept, and women hurried to help and comfort the stricken mother. Those left to mourn her untimely death are her parents, one sister, Lola, and four brothers, Earl, Frederick, Maxwell and the infant child. Orviston is proud of Will McCaslin and Frank Jodun, who found the little one. ——Wallace Reid is the star in “Alias Mike Moran,” a five reel dra- ma which meets with the unusual high standard of pictures shown at the Lyric theatre.

The act passed recently by the Pennsylvania Legislature, and which became effective at once, providing that landlords in Pennsylvania shall take out their licenses monthly, while undoubtedly passed in the interest of the hotel men, will just as certainly cause them considerable trouble and a little additional expense. The act was received this week by prothono- tary Foreman, and according to his construction of the wording of the same the licensee cannot take out a license for two months or three months at a time, but for one month only, - for which he must pay one- twelfth of the yearly license fee and in addition the cost of the certificate and issuing of same. Milesburg hotel, was the first Centre county landlord to avail himself of the monthly law, he taking out his license yesterday for the month of April. It was landlord Gillen’s desire to take out his license for three months, which would run him to July first, but the new law makes no provision for any term but by the month and that is all the longer the license was issued for. Under such circumstanc- es landlords will have to keep close tab on the end of the month, because first of every month they will not be in a position to handle liquid refresh- ments until they do. ——1If you can’t boost, don’t knock. Lyric Theatre Co. 12-1t Highway Dept. Opposed to Building Road in Marion Township. A bulletin issued from the State Highway Department on Wednesday contained the following bit of news of interest to residents of Bellefonte and Little Nittany valley: “Harry N. Meyer, of Bellefonte, clerk to the Commissioners of Centre county, asked the Department wheth- er the State will join in building a one-course water-bound macadam road in Marion township, Centre coun- ty, over a distance of 11,720 feet. The piece of road in question is on the main route from the old turnpike to the Walker township line. Replying to this communication the Commis- sioner said: “ ‘We would not feel justified in join- ing on a project where this type was selected, on account of the excessive maintenance expense connected with this class of road.’ “This is in line with Commissioner Sadler’s frequent declarations that “money put into short-life road con- struction is money thrown away.” Second Illustrated Lecture on Amer- ica at War. The second of the combination lec- tures, illustrated by slides prepared by the committee on Public Informa- tion, Washington, D. C., will be given in the auditorium of the Bellefonte High school, Monday evening, March 24th, at 8 o’clock. This combination will consist of the two lectures “Airplanes and How They are Made,” and “Flying for America,” illustrated with 115 slides. The first two lectures of the series, given some time ago, were largely at- tended and much enjoyed. This one promises to be equally enjoyable as the pictures are unusually good. An admission fee of 10 cents will be charged to help pay for the slides which will then become the property | of the Bellefonte schools. Never has Orviston been so wrought | Landlord Edward I.

Just how long the young soldier will have to remain at Camp Merritt before he is given his final discharge is not known, as he is still troubled with an injury to his right leg caused when a piece of exploding shell ‘tore a piece of flesh loose above the knee so that it hung down below the knee. But the doctors stitched the severed flesh back in place after cleaning and cauterizing it, and it has now so far healed that there is every reason to believe that his leg will get as good as ever. Scrap-books, magazines, illus- trated papers, and anything that would be of interest to our convales- cing soldiers in the hospitals of Eu- rope, are again urgently asked for. Because so many of our boys are re- turning home, is so much more the reason why we should think of those who are left or are unable to come.
