Demorvaic atc Bellefonte Pa., April 11, 1919. anm— NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY. ——The Pennsylvania Legislature on Monday night made short work of Representative Powell's one dollar fish license bill, defeating it by a vote of 103 to 85. ——The person who left a small pocketbook containing a small sum of money lay on the counter in Weaver Bros. store, Saturday night, can get same by calling for it. George Lentz, of west High street, has joined the automobile en- thusiasts of Bellefonte, and is now driving a new Oakland, it being Mr. Lentz’s second car within a year. Begin at once to clean up about your home, put everything in order and help make Bellefonte more at- tractive. Work until the week of the 5th of May, and that week work harder. A recruiting station has been opened at Williamsport where any young man desirous of joining the ar- my can do so. Married men and those under eighteen years of age will not be accepted. The annual Easter sale of aprons, in connection with home- made bread, cakes and pies, will be held by the Aid society of the Reform- ed church, in Petrikin hall, all day Saturday, April 19th. Mr. William McClellan suffer- ed a bad attack of acute indigestion at his home on east Lamb street the latter part of last week and for a day or two his condition was quite ser- ious, but he is now recovering quite rapidly and will soon be himself again. G. Edward Haupt has practic- ally closed a deal for the purchase of “Mapleshade,” the old Shoemaker property along the state road, from Mr. J. M. Michaels. While the pur- chase price has not been definitely made public it is rumored to be $13,000. Mr. Haupt, it is stated, con- templates moving into the property and will likely move his store down there. The old bakery in the Bush Ar- cade conducted several years ago by William Doll is being put in first-class shape for George Kelley, of Snow Shoe, who will open up there just as soon as he can get everything over- hauled. The store room is being freshly painted and papered and the bakery in the basement will be put in a thoroughly sanitary condition. While the exact date of the opening of the bakery has not been announced it will probably be about the first of May. ——Katherine Green, wife of Emanuel Green, and who has been head cook at the Bush house a num- ber of years, was stricken with par- alysis at the Bush house on Sunday afternoon. ‘Her entire right side was paralyzed and at the time she lost all power .of articulation. Since that time. she has recovered her speech to that extent that she can make herself understood but the doctors give little hope of her permanent recovery. She is now undergoing treatment at the Bellefonte hospital. The Bellefonte Cemetery asso- ciation has secured the services of J. Edward Beck as superintendent of the Bellefonte Union cemetery, in place of W. D. Port, recently resigned. Mr. Beck is an industrious and energetic citizen and has had experience in farming and other lines of work in which he always proved a success and there is every reason to believe that he will make a most capable superin- tendent of the cemetery. In this con- nection it might be a wise plan for lot owners who desire Mr. Beck to | take care of their lots to get in com- munication with him at once in order to give him time to get all lots in shape by Memorial day. Contractor R. B. Taylor on Monday morning started work on the Willowbank portion of the state high- way that he was compelled to quit work on last fall with the approach of cold weather. Considering the fact that all the heavy grading has been done and most of the brick on the ground the completion of the road should not take more than a month or six weeks. Of course the erection of a new bridge over Logan’s branch will also take additional time. And while the street is being put in such excellent shape a new foot bridge over the race is an improvement also bad- ly needed in that section. In fact the old one is now in a rather dangerous condition. gardeners are complaining about the depredations of the night crawlers on “their onion beds. Onions planted dur- ing the day will be found shoved out of the ground the next morning and one enthusiastic gardener even as- serts that the night crawlers pile his onions on a little heap. And they have persisted in doing it night after night. According to all information reaching this office the night crawlers are unusually plentiful and vigorous this spring. Whether the open winter is responsible for this condition in wormology has not been determined, but the big black-headed night crawl- ers are not only plentiful but excep- tionally large. One Bellefonte gard- ener who was troubled with night crawlers several years ago used a mixture of salt and lime with very satisfactory results, but care will have to be exercised not to use the mixture strong enough to damage the onions. It is only when onions are newly planted that night crawlers interfere with them. Once they begin to take vot they will not be disturbed. Quite a number of Bellefonte | Planning a Big Welcome for Centre County Soldiers. In response to the call of sheriff George H. Yarnell about fifty repre- sentative citizens from Bellefonte, State College, Lemont and Milesburg met in the grand jury room at the court house on Tuesday evening and effected an organization for the pur- pose of arranging for a big public welcome home to Centre county’s sol- dier boys. The officers elected are as follows: President—Judge Henry C. Quig- ley. Vice Presidents — W. Harrison Walker, of Bellefonte; J. L. Holmes, of State College; John W. Beals, of Philipsburg, and sheriff George H. Yarnell, of Bellefonte. Secretary—W. T. Kelly. Treasurer—J. Will Conley. The president was empowered to appoint five men who, with the above seven officers, will constitute the ex- ecutive committee, and this will com- pose the actual working staff of the organization. The executive commit- tee was authorized to appoint all sub- committees, such as speakers, adver- tising, transportation, invitation, amusements, finance, etc. The exec- utive committee will meet next Mon- day night and appoint the commit- tees and arrange some of the details of the kind of a welcome to be given the soldiers. Probably the most perplexing ques- tion to decide at this time in connec- tion with the big welcome home is the date on which it will be given. And right here the “Watchman” wants to emphasize the fact that the big time is not to be for any one set or organ- ization of soldiers that went out from Centre county, but for every man of them. Every soldier and sailor who went from Centre county will be in- vited and will stand on an equal foot- ing, whether he was a member of old Troop L, Boal machine gun troop, the hospital corps, national army or vol- unteers in the regular army or navy. The Twenty-eighth division is scheduled to arrive home in May sometime, and with it will come the members of old Troop L and Boal ma- chine gun troop. The Seventy-ninth division is scheduled to return the first week in June, and with it are a large number of national army men from Centre county who trained at Camp Meade. Of course Centre county sol- dier boys are scattered through other organizations and it may be a year before some of them get home. And of course, the welcome home cannot be postponed until that time. The ob- ject now is to hold it as soon as possi- ble after the big bulk of them have arrived and the only question is when that will be. And the naming of the time cannot be too long delayed, as the date is one of the prime factors. The “Watchman” last week sugges- ted the Fourth of July as a most op- portune time, and in making the sug- gestion we merely had in mind the fact that quite a number of soldiers have already returned home, and with those in the Twenty-eighth and Sev- enty-ninth divisions scheduled to ar- rive home before that time it would probably mean that the biggest per cent. of the Centre county boys will be here. And then the Fourth of Ju- ly has always been a date for cele- brating in the hearts of all American people and this year we will all have greater cause to celebrate and what day more appropriate than the glo- rious Fourth. But the time as well as the nature of the welcome is now up to the people who will have it in charge and there is no doubt at all but that they will exercise the best ‘judgment possible in selecting the date as well as arranging the pro- | gram. — soe Another Aeroplane Sent Over Wilson Mail Route. Entirely unheralded S. C. Ebersole, driving a modified DeHaviland Four aeroplane reached Bellefonte from New York on Tuesday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock. He landed on the aviation field and remained here two hours or more when he left for Cleve- land, Ohio. While in Bellefonte Mr. Ebersole was unusually reticent as to the nature of his trip. In fact post- master P. H. Gherrity had not been notified of his coming and did not see him while here, so he has no informa- tion to give out. Recently rumors have been in cir- culation that the United States post- i office department would probably abandon for the present the inaugu- ration of an aerial mail service be- tween New York and Chicago, but such rumors lacked authentic confir- i mation. But the fact that there was | no evidence of preparation at the Bellefonte field led to suspicion on the part of many Bellefonte people that there might be some foundation for the report in circulation. But the trip through here on Tues- day of Mr. Ebersole has again reviv- ed a certain amount of interest and curiosity as to whether the service will be inaugurated or not. While the machine Mr. Ebersole was driving was a DeHaviland Four, it has been rebuilt and modified as to speed in alighting and starting and while that gentleman admitted that he was trying it out on the New York to Chicago route he had nothing to say as to the ulti- mate purpose of his trip. It is known, however, that he was timing his flight as both his arrival here and leaving time were forwarded to Washington promptly. Deen mann — Dr. Charles Bush, of Philadel- phia, is critically ill with pneumonia, at the Walters’ sanitarium on Green street. Dr. Bush is well known in Centre county, having been born and raised in Patton township. HONOR THE SOLDIER BOYS. | The beautiful and greatest emotional actress, Nazimova, in a 3- star picture, “Out of the Fog,” Scen- ic, Monday and Tuesday. 15-1t | Professor Roscoe Huff, of Wil- liamsport, has been engaged to direct The Pennsylvania State College glee club for the remainder of the colle- giate year. Under his supervision the Penn State singers are preparing for a number of concerts to be given in May and June in several cities of this State. Arrangements have been made for concerts at Altoona, Lewistown, Sunbury and East Liberty, with addi- tional dates under consideration. swe Don’t fail to see Nazimova in “Out of the Fog,” at the Scenic thea- tre next Monday and Tuesday nights. The clever acting of this remarkable woman is worth coming miles to see. “Out of the Fog” is one of her best pictures and it will be shown two nights in order to give everybody an opportunity to see it. And this won- derful picture will be but the begin- ning .of a week’s big program, there- fore you should not miss an evening if you don’t want to miss good pic- tures. About eleven o’clock on Satur- day night a head-on collision occur- red on the Nittany valley road about two hundred feet below Peck’s store between a car driven by a young man named Keller, of Centre Hall, who was on his way to Lock Haven, and the big Emerick motor bus westward. The big bus, carrying seven passen- gers, was turned clear over. Leslie Gordon, of Hecla Park, and Peter Ly- on, an oversea soldier, of Bellefonte, were badly bruised but no bones brok- en. J. Linn Harris was on the bus but escaped injury as did the other passengers. So far as known no one in the Keller car was seriously injur- ed. — + ome There is considerable talk about the organization of a brass band in this community. More skilled musi- cians are now located here than for years and it would seem that the time for getting them together in a music- al organization is most propitious. The Odd Fellows, the Red Men and the Moose have bands in the making within their own organizations, but a big community band would in no wise interfere with them. It would be a consolidation of the best musicians of each, with others who are not identi- fied with any of these orders and is just what Bellefonte needs to fill the void that has been so noticeable since the disintegration of the Coleville band several years ago. In his message to borough council on Monday evening burgess W. Harrison Walker called attention to the fact that there are already in- dications that tramps will be quite nu- merous this summer and he has .in- structed the police to see that Belle- fonte does not become a safe abiding place for any of them. To this end he asks all residents of the town to promptly notify the police whenever a hobo makes his appearance and the ejection machinery will promptly: be set in motion. In this connection councilman Richards stated that a ho- bo paid the town a visit the latter part of last week and visited several of the churches, which are invariably open to the public, but whether he took anything of value or not he could not say. But he did know that the same hobo was still in town on Mon- day afternoon, and he was in sympa- thy with any action that will keep these ne’er-do-wells out of Bellefonte; and so say all of us. ——Last Thursday night was a bad night for wild geese. In fact wild geese were in the air, not only over Bellefonte but many of the surround- ing towns in this and adjoining coun- ties. Hundreds and thousands of the birds were enroute from their winter home in the south to their nesting places in the Thousand Islands, Maine and Canada. The night was not only cloudy but quite foggy and the geese evidently lost their bearing and when they saw the lights of Bellefonte be- came bewildered. At any rate they circled over the town all night long and their incessant honk-honk caused many a Bellefonter to passa sleepless night. Along about 5:30 o’clock on Friday morning, when it had grown light enough for the geese to see, they rallied to the call of their leader and flying in a V-shape formation glided swiftly away toward the north, their intermittent honk-honks at that time being more a note of satisfaction than a cry of alarm. PP EE While in Bellefonte on a busi- ness trip on Monday ’Squire W. J. Carlin, of Rebersburg, made a brief call at the “Watchman” office. The’ ’Squire, by the way, has retired from | the store business in that pretty Brush : valley town, having sold his store in| January to Mr. S. A. Bierly, though | he assisted Mr. Bierly in conducting the store until the first of April. ’Squire Carlin was in the mercantile | business in Rebersburg for a period of | twenty-six years, the longest of any merchant in the history of the town. Before the big clothing store was opened in Millheim he handled men’s | clothing as well as a general line of | goods and in those years did a big | business for that locality. And here | is a pointer for other business men. | Mr. Carlin from the day he started in | business until he sold out always dis- counted his bills and during the years ! he had the clothing trade of that lo- | cality his discounts would net him between three and four hundred dol- | lars yearly. Now that he has retired from the store business Mr. Carlin will have a little more leisure to him- self, although his work connected | with the office of justice of the peace , and other business interests will oc- cupy most of his time. i Interesting Conference of Women’s | Clubs Held Here. The county conference of Women’s clubs held its annual meeting in the High school building on Saturday, April 5th. About sixty guests regis- tered, and reports from the various clubs represented occupied the morn- ing session. Miss Elizabeth Meek al- so gave an account of the work she is doing in the public schools in short talks to the children on “Health and Hygiene.” : The box luncheon served at noon is always an agreeable feature of these meetings since it promotes the social side of the conference, and the coffee was provided in the domestic science rooms by the Bellefonte club, assisted by Miss Allison and some of her class in the High school. Among the speakers were Miss Simmons, dean of women at State College; Miss Stratton, of the farm bureau; Dr. D. A. Anderson, head of education at Penn State; Prof. H. G. Parkinson, connected with the rural life department, and L. H. Denius, of the agricultural educational depart- ment at Harrisburg. The central thought of the day’s program was constructive along the lines of true Americanization, show- ing that the educational work must begin in the school, and giving a strong plea for better conditions and instruction in the “little red school house.” Representatives from various out of town clubs were in attendance as fol- lows: Unionville.—Mrs. James R. Holt, Mrs. George W. Holt, Mrs. 8. W. Holt, Miss Ruth Parsons, Mrs. Jacob Fox, Mrs. Thomas McClellan, Mrs. Thomas Ecken- roth, Mrs. Lizzie C. Hogan, Mrs. D. Buck, Mrs. H. P.

Anna Vasaline, the three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Vasa- line, who live on what is known as Rabbit Hill near the American Lime & Stone company plant, was burned to death in a fire which destroyed the small barn or stable on their prem- ises about three o'clock on Wednes- day afternoon. The little girl with her brother, about two years older than she, went into the barn to hunt for eggs. From the story told by the boy the girl had some matches with her and set fire to some straw in the barn. The flames spread rapidly and while the boy was able to get out he could not save his sister and her clothing caught fire and she was burn- ed to death in the holocaust which de- stroyed the barn. The Vasalines have been residents in that vicinity for about a year, Mr. Vasaline working for the American Lime & Stone company. In addition to the parents a number of brothers and sisters survive. Burial of the child’s remains will be made in the Catholic cemetery this morning. And just here the “Watchman” wants to add a word of caution to parents as to keeping matches within reach of children. Last week we pub- lished an account of a barn being burned at Lyontown, the result of a child playing with matches. In our Centre Hall correspondence this week is an item regarding another barn be- ing burned for the same reason, and now this fire in which the result was not only equally disastrous in the de- struction of the barn but included the additional tragedy of the burning of the child. Therefore, keep the match- es away from children. a ee, Court Decree of Interest to Miles Township. Judge Quigley handed down a de- cree last Saturday in the case of the poor overseers of Miles township vs. the poor overseers of Lamar township, Clinton county, a citation requiring the defendants to show cause why Adam Bethlehem, wife and three chil- dren, paupers, should not be support- ed by Lamar township, in which he dismissed the citation and entered a decree in favor of the defendants. The case attracted considerable in- terest among Miles township resi- dents. The Bethlehems at one time lived at Livonia, in Miles township, but about the year 1902 moved to La- mar township and made their home with relatives. They lived there un- til the death of one of the relatives when they were adjudged paupers and sent back to Miles township. Action’ was then brought by the Miles town- ship overseers to legally locate the residence of the Bethlehems and in his decree the court stated that there was nothing in the evidence to show that the Bethlehems had gained a le- gal residence in Lamar township; that while they had lived there off and on during several years with relatives the records showed that Mr. Bethle- hem had never paid any taxes in that township. GOO en. ——The graduating exercises of the nurses of the Bellefonte hospital will be held in the court house, Fri- day, April 25th, at 8:15 p. m. Mr. H. A.
