Itis No. 20 and looks more like a street car than any of the busses in service. ——Sunday will be Easter and after that date, according to old-time weather prophets, we ought to have more seasonable weather, as so far April has not been a very propitious month for garden making and farm work in general. ——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.

They believe, however, that they will be able to save the balance of her hand. ——Bellefonte’s general clean-up will begin Monday morning, May 5th. If every one would start at once to do away with all the winter accumula- tion of rubbish, and all unsightly places about his property, nothing would be left for clean-up week, save the white-washing and painting. Be a true Bellefonter and do your bit by doing your duty. ——German guns captured in the St. Mihiel salient and the battle of the Argonne, a French “75,” a tank and armored car, battlefield wireless, etc., will be” among the trophies on the Victory loan train which will tour the State during the next few weeks in connection with the big drive.

Norman Brown, the three-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Brown, of State College, was badly burned on Wednesday of last week on the lower part of his body and legs. The child was playing with matches with the usual result that he set his clothing on fire and was burned before the flames could be extinguished. He was brought to the Bellefonte hospital for treatment, remaining there until Sat-' urday when he was taken home. ——The war emergency campaign conducted by the Reformed churches in Centre county has been completed and every church reached its quota. All but one went “over the top.” The sum apportioned was $925.00, and $1,324.00 was raised, this sum being 43 per cent. more than was asked from Centre county Reformed church- es. The major portion of this money will be given for the rebuilding of churches in France and Belgium. ——The dwelling house on the farm in Penn township owned by Mrs. H. J. Kurzenknabe, of Harrisburg, and occupied by John O. Bower and fami- ly, caught fire last Thursday after- noon while carpenters were engaged in putting on a new roof. Fortunate- ly the carpenters were on the roof at the time and managed to extinguish the flames with a few buckets of wa- ter well placed. The fire was caused by sparks from burning the old shin- gles in the kitchen stove. ——Word has been received in Bellefonte from Miss Bertha Laurie that she and Miss Marian Watts have been granted a six week’s furlough which they have planned to spend in a visit home. They will come to the States with the 42nd (Rainbow) di- vision, which is expected to sail from Brest this week and should reach the United States the latter part of next week. Just what the plans of the two ladies are for the future are not defi- nitely known, but as they are coming home on a furlough it is presumed they intend returning to France. Ambrose Wolf, of Greenbriar, was brought to Bellefonte last Friday and lodged in jail by game warden Charles Batchelor, of Philipsburg, on the charge of illegal fishing. Several months ago Wolf and several compan- ions did a little fishing with throw nets in the stream west of Coburn. Information was made against the men by Harry Wingard, local game warden at Coburn. Warden Batchelor went to Coburn last week and placed the men under arrest. All but Wolf paid their fines and costs and the lat- ter refusing to do so was brought to jail, THE VICTORY LOAN DRIVE. Start it With a Rush at the Opening Next Monday. The big drive for the Victory loan will start next Monday morning. The total bond issue asked by the Secre- tary of the Treasury is $4,500,000, which will make Centre county’s share in the neighborhood of $800,000. The bonds are to be for four years and will draw 43 per cent. interest, and be exempt from all ordinary taxes; or at 33 per cent. will be wholly exempt. In connection with the opening of the big drive W. Harrison Walker, chairman of the publicity committee, prefers the request that the American flag be flung to the breeze from every house and business place and that they be kept up during the three weeks the loan campaign will run. This is a patriotic idea and should be observed by American citizens every- where. The committees in charge have { mapped out a campaign of speech- making for the entire county, the list of dates, speakers, etc., following this article. But the success of the cam- paign should not be left up to the com- mittees and the men and women who are volunteering their services in this line of work. Every man and woman in the county should feel enough of thankfulness that the world war is over to voluntarily buy all the bonds they can in order to help bring our boys home from “over there” and make more secure the fruits of vie- | tory. Bonds can be purchased in any amount from $50 to $10,000, and the rate of payment has been made so easy and extended over such a length of time that it will not be difficult for any person to meet them. The bonds will be dated May 20th and begin bearing interest June 15th. The divi- dends will be payable semi-annually, the first one on December 25th, 1919, and thereafter on June and December 15th of each year until maturity of the bonds. The campaign will begin Monday, April 21st, and close May 10th. In connection with the loan cam- paign the war loan organization of the Third Federal district will run a Liberty loan train through Pennsyl- vania, stopping at all the principal towns and cities, the complete an- nouncement of which is as follows: Captured German guns from St. Mihiel, and the Argonne, French “75's,” a tank and armored car and the “battlefield wireless” are but a few of the exhibits of the Victory Lib- erty loan war train which will tour Centre county on April 30th. A stop will be made at Bellefonte. The tank and armored car will give demonstrations of their “treat-’em- rough” style of fighting wherever they can be unloaded. U. S. marines will set up their field wireless and call head§uarteérs at each stop. A corps of speakers will explain about the fighting appliances and will talk loan to the crowds. One of the largest baggage cars in service is included in the seven car train and is loaded with all kinds of smaller war trophies. They comprise star-shells, gas masks, grenadines, small arms and equipment collected from the most famous battlefields of the war. Depth bombs and naval mines are also included. Among the guns are German “minnewerfers,” or trench mortars, a very deadly type of weap- on. The schedule has been arranged to give more time for stops than could be allowed when the last war train toured the State. Schedule of Meetings for Victory Lib- erty Loan of Centre County.

S. weather man prom- ised fair weather all this week, but he missed it amazingly the first half of the week, at least. ——The Bellefonte High school base ball team will open its season Saturday at 3 p. m., on the Hughes athletic field, having the strong Lock Haven Normal school team as oppo- nents. Turn out and help the boys along. ——George M. Gamble yesterday afternoon bought Green’s drugstore at an approximate price of $8,000. The purchase was made for his son- in-law, William T. O’Brien, of Snow Shoe. The store will continue to be run as Green’s Pharmacy Co., and was opened for business last evening.

If you have not yet seen this picture don’t fail to visit the Scenic. Other big programs will be shown every evening during the remainder of the week. In fact you can always be sure of seeing something good at this pop- ular moving picture show. —“Treat Em Rough,” by that greatest of dare devils, Tom Mix, will be shown at the Scenic Saturday, mat- inee and night. Wonderful stuff. Don’t miss it. Also Spanuth’s Vod-a- Vil. : 16-1t ——Last Thursday when the alarm was sounded for the fire at the home of Howard Casper, on east Curtin street, the Undine fire company left their building with the two rear tires on their Cadillac truck partly down. The result was they soon went flat and in front of the G. Murray An- drews residence on Allegheny street one of the rims that holds the tire came off and rolling out the street struck Dr. Seibert’s Franklin car, which was standing in front of his house, right on the nose, knocking quite a dent in the hood, rolled up over the hood and cracked the wind- shield and rolled over the top of the car and on out the street. ——The Budinger family were obliged to cut their stay in Florida short by a few weeks when they re- ceived the alarming news that a son, J. Thomas Budinger, was quite ill at Pompton Lakes, N. J., with diphthe- ria. The family, including Mr. and Mrs. Budinger, and their daughters Sara and Blanche, left St. Petersburg by train on Friday, arriving in Wash- ington Sunday morning when they received word that young Mr. Bud- inger’s condition was improved and that they would not be able to see him on account of the quarantine. They then went to Philadelphia and spent a day returning to their Snow Shoe home on Tuesday. Had it not been for the illness of their son they would have remained in Florida until May, as Mr. Budinger avers that the fish are now biting fine, and then driven home in their car. TWO DAYS CELEBRATION. | To be Given as Welcome Home for Returning Soldiers. The officers elected at the public meeting held on Tuesday night of last | week to make preliminary arrange- ments for a big welcome home of Cen- tre county’s returning soldiers held a meeting in the grand jury room on Monday evening at which time the organization was enlarged by the ap- pointment of the following members of the executive committee by chair- man H. C. Quigley: Hon. Harry B. Scott, of Philips- burg; Major H. Laird Curtin, of Cur- tin; Ray Smith, of State College; Robert F. Hunter, Col. W. Fred Rey- nolds, George R. Meek, Edmund Blanchard, Hard P. Harris and John J. Bower, of Bellefonte. In order to get things in working shape the fol- lowing committee chairmen were nam- ed, each man authorized to select his own committee: Publicity—George R. Meek. Amusement—Edmund Blanchard. Reception—Col. W. Fred Reynolds. Speakers—J. Laird Holmes. Invitation—George H. Yarnell. Finance—J. Will Conley. Parade—Robert F. Hunter. Decoration—John J. Bower. Entertainment—Hard P. Harris. It was further decided to make the affair a two day’s gathering, but the exact dates will probably not be se- lected until the committee has more definite knowledge as to just when the big bulk of the Centre county soldiers will reach home, as it is especially de- sired that every man, if possible, can be here to join in the celebration and receive from the citizens of Centre county a more heartfelt welcome home, if that is possible, than the en- thusiastic send-offs they were given when they marched away so bravely to face the Hun guns. Tentative plans for the two day’s celebration include the registration of soldiers on the morning of the first day, a parade in the afternoon and a big reception and dance in the even- ing. On the second day a street car- nival, baseball contests and aviation stunts. This will make two full days of the kind of a celebration that it will be worth coming a long distance to see. While at this early date it is impos- sible to estimate how many of Centre county’s soldiers will be at home by the time the celebration is held, the committee is figuring on anywhere from twelve to fifteen hundred, and it will naturally tax the hospitality of the town to take care of them. But Bellefonte has never yet fallen down on anything she undertook and she won't do it this time. A ee eer: A Few Good Catches of Trout Made On Tuesday. On Monday afternoon quite a num- ber of Bellefonte fishermen stood on the pavement along Water street and watched the trout feeding and the sight made their eyes sparkle and their blood course a little swifter through their veins in anticipation of what was in store for them on Tues- day morning, but when that time came things were different. It rain- ed during the night and Tuesday morning it was cold and dismal and drizzly. However, that did not deter the enthusiastic fishermen, and many of them were out at four o’clock in the - morning ready to whip the streams with the first streaks of dawn. But the most of them whip- ped and whipped in vain, for the trout were not biting in the morning and the man who got any of them not only did a lot of hard work but exercised his patience to the limit. In the afternoon the trout became more ac- tive and there was an hour or two when they bit quite lively, especially in that part of Spring creek running through Bellefonte and more trout were caught during that period than | at any other time during the day. | The biggest catch of the day was made by Cyril Moerschbacher, who got 22, measuring from twelve to sev- enteen inches. T. Clayton Brown got 8, the two largest measuring sixteen and seventeen inches. Charles F. Mensch got 12 and Thomas H. Harter 9, both fishing near the old C. R. R. of Pa. depot, and their twenty-one fish dressed ten pounds. John Porter Ly- on got 9 up Spring creek and George A. Beezer, who was with him, got 2. Melvin Cherry got 7, measuring fif- teen inches each. John Cherry got 7. George R. Meek and W. C. Coxey tried Spring creek in the morning and getting only five be. veen them drove to the Country club house to fish that stream, but found so many fishermen ahead of them that they aver they had literally tramped all the water out of the stream. A party of four strang- ers whipped Spring creek in the vi- cinity of Bellefonte and got 2 while two other strangers got 3. W. D. Zerby, Homer P. Barnes, George H. Knisely and a few others journeyed to Fishing creek to try their luck but found the fishing very poor. In fact it must have been very poor, as not a man in the party was willing to tell how few fish they caught, while some were candid in admitting that they never had worse luck, and if they did any telling at all it would only be a “fish” story. ——The story of Roosevelt with its drama, comedy action, thrills and pathos, from the cradle to the grave, will be told at the Scenic Monday and Tuesday. Seven reels of history and real life. 16-1t Mr. and Mrs. Harry Keller and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Morris are pre- paring to leave the Bush house, to go to their homes on Linn street for the summer.

Mr. Yearick has just started farming on one of his father’s farms near Jacksonville and while his boy is hardly big enough to handle a plow yet, we fancy there are piles of things on the farm that he can and does do for he comes of a stock of men who never were afraid of work and, therefor, have been highly successful. —Lieut.
