thorities decided to take him back to

FARM LOAN ASSOCIATION OR-
GANIZED.
A Score of Centre County Farmers
: Want to Borrow $72,500.
Fifty Centre county farmers were
present at the meeting held in the
grand jury room in the court house
on Wednesday afternoon for the pur-
pose of organizing a Centre county
branch of the National Farm Loan
association, and so enticing were the
arrangements for securing and carry-
ing loans for agricultural purposes as
presented by a representative of the
Federal Land bank of Baltimore that
twenty farmers made application for
loans aggregating $72,500, and a Cen-
tre county association was formed by
the election of the following officers:
President—Frank H. Clemson, Buf-
falo Run.
Vice President—J. J. Markle, State
College.
Secretary and Treasurer—Nelson
E. Robb, of the Bellefonte Trust Co.
The board of directors selected is
composed of the above three gentle-
men and in addition James C. Smith,
State College; Harry F. Haagan, of
Yarnell, and Thomas J. Burke, How-
ard.
Prior to the organization of the as-
sociation the entire plans and purpos-
es of the Farm Loan association were
very fully explained by I. W. White-
head, representing the Federal Land
bank of Baltimore, and who is now
engaged in organization work in
Pennsylvania. Mr. Whitehead told in
detail of the organization of the Fed-
eral Reserve banks as a means of tid-
ing big business over panics and
financial difficulties and the land
banks were organized under an Act
of Congress to aid the farmers of the
country. Under the act Congress ap-
propriated $750,000 for the work and
the country was divided into twelve
districts, Pennsylvania being in the
second district with Baltimore as the
financial centre.
Under the plans formulated farm-
ers can borrow to the extent of fifty
per cent. of the valuation of their
land plus twenty per cent. of the in-
sured value of their buildings and im-
provements. The rate of interest
charged is 5} per cent., with an addi-
tional one per cent. to be applied to
the reduction of the principal. The
loan is made for the long term of 341
years and at the expiration of that
period, if the farmer has met his in-
terest payments regularly, the loan is
cancelled and the mortgage satisfied.
If, however, any borrower desires to
pay off his obligation he can at any
interest-paying period after five
years, pay any amount he sees fit in
multiples of twenty-five dollars.
The attraction in the offer is this:
If a farmer borrows from a local bank
or an individual for a period of one or
two years, when his paper ma-
tures he will be compelled to meet it
somehow if the person who made the
loan so demands, whether it suits him
to do so or not. In the Farm Loan
association all loans are made for the
maximum period of 341 years and
cannot be called as long as the far-
mer meets his interest obligations
promptly. And at the end of the thir-
ty-four and a half years he has not
only paid his interest but the princi-
pal, too. On the other hand, if a far-
mer secures a loan and should be ina
position to meet it in two or three
years, he cannot do so until after the
expiration of five years.
All loans must also be made for
strictly agricultural purposes and
nothing else.

A Big Tractor Demonstration.
The Beatty Motor company has ar-
ranged for a big demonstration of the
Fordson tractor to be held on the
Thomas Beaver farm near Bellefonte
on Thursday of next week, April 3rd,
from 9 a. m. until 6. p. m. There is
no question but that the tractor will

play an important part
Every farmer is realizing this fact
more and more every day. The only
debatable question in his mind is
which make of tractor wil be best for
his purposes.
Mr. Beatty believes the Fordson the,
most practical and best adapted for
use on Centre county farms and he is
not only willing but anxious to prove
it. That is why he is going to give a
demonstration next Thursday, and all
he asks of the farmers of Centre coun-
ty is that they come to Bellefonte and
see it. Any time during the day from

———One day last week Mr. Charles
F. Beatty, of the Beatty Motor com-
pany, took Bill Doak, the blind man
him going over a Fordson tractor and
explaining the separate parts as Bill
felt them with his hands. It was only
a little act of kindness but it was a
wonderful hour for Bill and no man
with all his senses and faculties can
appreciate just what that meant to
him.
The extremely early spring ne-
cessitates the getting busy at once of
every householder in Bellefonte.
Cleaning away the rubbish and accu-
mulations of the winter, means rid-
ding the town of the germs; painting
and putting things in order, means

work immediately, and continue it un-
til by the time of the annual clean-up
week in May, Bellefonte will be in
perfect condition.
While at work helping to tear
down the big viaduct of the old Cen-
tral Railroad of Pennsylvania, on
Tuesday afternoon, John Peace fell
from the roadway to the ground in
the lot of the old Thomas property
now occupied by John McGinley. At
first it was feared he was critically
injured and he was hurried to the
Bellefonte hospital but a thorough
examination there revealed the fact
a few slight contusions.

Charles Nelo and Veto Polce,
two Italian soldiers who have just re-
ceived their discharge from the Amer-
ican army, and who were naturalized
while in service, have opened an up-
to-date shoe repairing shop, with all
the latest improved machinery, in the
room formerly occupied by Roy Whit-
mer in the Bush Arcade. They are
prepared to half-sole shoes while you
wait, at reasonable prices. The shop
goes under the name of United Shoe

ing adjunct for ladies and gentlemen
will be opened as soon as the bench-
es and stands arrive, they having
been delayed in shipment. Give the
Italian soldier boys a trial.
Capt. William Murray, of the
regular army, committed suicide by
shooting himself, in a hotel at Chica-
go, on Tuesday. He had been station-
ed at Chicago for some months but
had recently been assigned for duty
at Camp Grant. When the United
States became embroiled in the world
war Capt. Murray was assigned for
| duty to the first training camp at
Plattsburg, N. Y. Later he was trans-
| ferred to The Pennsylvania State
College and was the first man in
charge there in training the student
enlistments. He is well remembered
by the people at State College as well
as a number of Bellefonters. The
cause of his taking his own life is a
mystery.
As evidence of what a man can
do in his spare moments take James
0. Brewer, bookkeeper for McCal-
mont & Co. Some time ago he start-
ed in soliciting subscriptions for the
Farm Journal, a publication for far-
mers published in Philadelphia. Of
course he did not allow this work to
interfere with his regular work, but
when he met a farmer he would inter-
est him in the paper and in that way
got many subscriptions. Just what
his work would amount to he did not
know definitely until Monday when he
received a check from the publication
for $525.00. He also got another
check for $16.50 for sending in the
‘most subscriptions in a certain period
and just missed getting a check for
$460 for making the best record in a

BIG FIRE IN PHILIPSBURG.
Grant Block, on Front and Presque-
isle Sts., Completely Ruined.
Philipsburg had another bad fire
Masonic fraternity of Philips-
burg. The fire started on the second
floor in the rear of the American Un-
jon telephone exchange and the
flames had gained such headway by
the time they were discovered that it
was impossible for the fire fighters to
get control until the second and third
floors had been entirely gutted. Phil-
ipsburg officials incline to the belief
that the fire was the work of an in-
cendiary.
The building, which was one of the
finest in Philipsburg, was owned by
the Grant estate and the loss on it is
estimated at $25,000, mostly covered
by insurance. The Masonic fraterni-
ty occupied the entire third floor and
their equipment was valued at $5,000,
on which they carried an insurance of
$3,500.
On the second floor were the ex-
changes of the American Union Tel-
ephone and Telegraph company and
the Bell Telephone company of Penn-
sylvania. Each one estimates their
loss at $12,000, with $10,000 insurance
each. Dr. F. K. White’s dental par-
lors were burned out entailing a loss
of $4,000 on which he had $2,000 in-
surance. Other offices on the second
floor were the White-Dugan Coal Co.
and the Madeira Hill Coal Co., which
were also burned out. Miss Louise
Adams and sister had an apartment
in the building and they were hem-
med in by the flames and had to be
taken out of a second story window.
On the ground floor of the building
were George F. Troutman’s drug
store, with a stock estimated to be
worth from $7,000 to $8,000; Ibber-
son’s ladies’ furnishing store carrying
a $13,000 stock and Sankey & Marks’
shoe store, with a stock of $15,000.
While none of the stores were dam-
aged by fire the stock of each is thor-
oughly water-soaked and consequent-
ly badly damaged. Just how much
insurance they carried is not known.
Adjoining the Grant building was
the J. W. Dunwidddie mansion and
the upper portien of it was also bad-
ly damaged.

More Knitters Needed.
| More knitters are needed in the
| work which the Red Cross is doing
| for the comfort of the afflicted women
i and children in the war-torn countries
of Europe. Those willing to help are
asked to communicate with Mrs. Wil-
liam Waddle, at the Brant house, who
will supply yarn and instructions.
Used clothing is still in demand
and the drive for such articles is still
on in our Chapter. The country aux-
iliaries have been notified of the need
and will no doubt respond generous-
ly. Bellefonte men and women must
not be slackers in doing their share in
this cause. Used clothing in good
condition intended for the drive should
be sent to Petrikin hall as soon as
possible, or Mrs. R. S. Brouse, chair-
man of the committee, should be no-
tified, and your contribution will be
sent for.

Turn Your Clocks Ahead.
The daylight saving law will go in-
to effect on Sunday. All the railroads
of the United States have sent out or-
ders to turn all clocks ahead one hour
at two o'clock on Sunday morning.
Of course it isn’t really necessary to
stay up until that hour to make the
change. Just turn your clock ahead
an hour when you go to bed Saturday
evening and then remember to get up
Easy, isn’t it?
People Living in Glass Houses Should
Never Throw Stones.
Perhaps this means they may break
one of their own windows. It may
mean we all have our faults and
should not pick flaws in others. How-
ever, in this enlightened age we have
plenty of light and its unnecessary to
go groping in the dark when properly
fitted glasses will enable you not only
to walk in the light but at the same
time make life worth living. Consult.
