——John D. Sourbeck, the well
known candy maker, of High street,
has practically suspended business for
the time being. The extremely hot
weather makes it next to impossible
to manufacture candy with any degree
of satisfaction, and then it is also

undertakes it, so Mr. Sourbeck is
simply laying off until cooler weather
and confining his business to flowers
and plants.

past considered such an undertaking

both of them entered the service.
Now that they have been discharg-
ed and returned to the College they
have decided to go to work at once
and erect the necessary buildings for
their institution.
COME TO THE SOLDIERS WEL-
COME HOME.
The Biggest Time Ever Seen in Belle-
fonte Now Assured Arrange-
ments Being Made to En-
tertain Large Crowds.
William A. Carson, of Haines town-
ship, was present at Tuesday even-
ing’s meeting of the Executive com-
mittee of the Centre county welcome
home association and brought with
him a check for $73.55 contributed by
his fellow citizens toward helping in
bearing the expense of the big cele-
bration. On motion of Mr. Conley a
vote of thanks was given to Mr. Car-
son and the people of Haines township
for the patriotic spirit shown in the
matter.
Mr. Conley, for the Finance com-
mittee, reported progress in the mat-
ter of raising the money to pay for
the celebration, but declared that so
far the responses from over the coun-
ty were limited. He also read sever-
al letters he had received from differ-
ent communities showing a decided
inclination on the part of the people
there to do very little, if anything.
Sheriff Yarnell, of the Invitation
committee, reported that he had al-
ready received responses from a little
over seven hundred soldier boys who
signified their intention of being here,
and he estimated that when complete
returns are in the figure will run up
to from one thousand to twelve hun-
dred. This practically assures a big
attendance of the soldier boys and the
biggest unit and parade of soldiers
ever seen in Bellefonte, and probably
that ever will be seen. He also stated
that soldiers throughout the State
have signified their desire and inten-
tion of coming here just to see the
parade. Mr. Yarnell stated that so
far only about fifty invitations have
been returned as unclaimed.
Mr. Harris, of the Entertainment
committee, stated that he would en-
deavor to have every accommodation
necessary for the soldiers as well as
plenty of eating stands so that no-
body will need go hungry. He also
reported that he had secured Christy
Smith’s orchestra of eight pieces to
furnish music for the reception and
dance Thursday evening. :
Mr Blanchard, of the Amusement
committee, reported that the advance
man of the Sam Spencer Carnival
company had been here and that their
shows would arrive in Bellefonte next
Sunday and open up on the Island on
south Water street on Monday, to be
open all week. Regarding airplane
flights he has assurance of a number
of planes and that flights will be giv-
en whenever the committee desires.
The time for one flight was set for
Thursday afternoon, immediately fol-
lowing the parade. Two games of
baseball will be played on Friday be-
tween the Bellefonte teams and Phil-
ipsburg. These games will be free to
soldiers only.
Mr. Bower, of the Decoration com-
mittee, reported that the work is pro-
gressing and there is no doubt but
that everything will be completed on
time.
The Publicity committee reported
that large bills advertising the wel-
come home celebration had been sent
to every section of the ceunty, and
there is every reason to believe that
every man, woman and child in the
county, will know of the big gather-
ing in ample time.
Mr. Hunter, of the Parade commit-
tee, submitted his plans for the pa-
rade which appear in another column
of this paper. He also stated that so
far he knew of seven bands that will
be here, and perhaps others.
Burgess W. Harrison Walker re-
ported that he had prepared a park-
ing plan for automobiles for the big
day which will be printed in the coun-
ty papers and also sent all over the
county, so that people motoring to
Bellefonte can park their cars with
the least confusion possible.
The Bellefonte Central railroad
company will run a special train on
Thursday, leaving State College at
7:45 a. m. and returning leave Belle-
fonte at 7:30 p. m.
Soldiers and all organizations in-
tending to join the parade should read
carefully the make up of the parade as
prepared by Mr. Hunter and publish-
ed in another column, and then they
will know just where to report when
they arrive in Bellefonte.
In conclusion it might be stated
that with good weather there is every
assurance of the biggest time in
Bellefonte next Thursday and Friday
ever seen here. There will be a gen-
eral outpouring from the entire coun-
ty, because this will be the only occa-
sion possible to see together so many
of the young men who saw service
during the world war. It will be a
history-making gathering and the
older folks cannot afford to miss it,
while the young people will be here
without fail. Every provision possi-
ble will be made for the comfort and
entertainment of all who attend, so
there is no excuse for anyone staying
at home.
MEAL TICKETS FOR ALL SOLDIERS.
All soldiers in uniform are request-
ed to register immediately upon arri-
val in Bellefonte. Sheriff George H.
Yarnell will have charge of the ros-
ter and will greet the boys on the
grand stand in the Diamond, if the
weather is propitious and if it should
be raining he will be in the arbitra-
tion room in the court house.
It is very important that all sol-
diers register at once on arrival for
Hardman P. Harris, chairman of the
entertainment committee, will be at
that place to issue meal tickets for
the day to all soldiers. These tickets
will be good for any restaurant, hotel
or eating stand in town.

Philipsburg’s Celebration Postponed.
At a meeting of citizens held in
Philipsburg last Friday evening it was
unanimously voted to postpone their
celebration to the returned soldiers of
ber 1st, (Labor day). They were led
to make this decision owing to the
fact that July 4th comes so soon after
the county welcome home to be held
in Bellefonte and in addition many of
the surrounding communities are hav-
ing celebrations on July 4th and it
would naturally detract from any
gathering that might have been held
in Philipsburg at that time.
By postponing the gathering until
Labor day and advertising that fact
early and strong it ought to give
them opportunity to have a demon-
stration that will make every resident
of that town proud that he lives there.
And it is only natural to conclude that
now that they have decided on a later
date for their home demonstration the
people of Philipsburg will enter
whole-heartedly into the county dem-
onstration to be held in Bellefonte
June 26th and 27th.

Club Room for Service Men.
A community club room for men
who have been, or are, in the service
of the army or navy, was opened for
use last Saturday, (Flag day). The
name given to this room, painted in
great letters across the front, is Hos-
tess House, and the location is the big
room in Petrikin hall, kindly donated
by the W. C. T. U., and the principal
organizations backing the undertak-
ing are the Red Cross and the citi-
zens’ committee for the welcome
home celebration.
One or more hostesses are always
in attendance, but the room is to be
considered the boys’ own, and every
boy who has been in the service of
Uncle Sam, it doesn’t matter where
he lives, who is in Bellefonte, is more
than welcome. The two big windows
overlooking High street are such as
many a New York club house might
envy. There is a piano and a victro-
la, comfortable chairs galore, a writ-
ing table with stationery marked
“Hostess House, Bellefonte, Pa.,”’—
in fact everything that makes a
mighty nice place.
The room is bound to be used more
and more as the boys learn of it, and
especially will it be used on the 26th
and 27th, during the “big time,” but
those who have the room in charge
want every man entitled to use this
club room to know of it, and to be at
home in it. With the Y. M. C. A.
closed, this snug little place should
prove very popular. If the boys real-
ly like it, no doubt the room can be
kept for their use all through the
summer. : ;

Work on the New Lewistown High-
way to be Begun at Once.
Yesterday representatives of the
Gaylord International Construction
Co., were in Bellefonte to secure an
office as headquarters for their work
while building the new highway from
here to the mountain south of Pleas-

Work will be begun at once and
they expect to be ready for delivery
of stone within three weeks. Today
they will make the final survey to de-
termine what section will be built
first and as the asphalt plant will
probably be located at Axe Mann
there is a possibility that the build-
ing will be done both ways from that
point.
