— Miss Rebecca Cruse has been
helping out in the postoffice this week
owing to the illness of both William
Chambers and Millard Hartswick with
the grip. Miss Cruse some time ago
took the civil service examination
and now heads the waiting list for a
regular appointment as clerk in the
postoffice.
The house on the southeast cor-
ner of Lamb and Ridge streets, lately
occupied by C. L. Gates and family,
has been sold by the Commonwealth
Trust and Safe Deposit company, of

the engine and crew of local freight
until met by another engine sent up
from Sunbury to haul the train on its
eastward trip.
The ladies of the Lutheran
church are serving a private supper
this (Friday) cvening to the Presby-

this is to be a public affair, which is
not the case. However, the ladies are
planning a public supper to be held
within the next twe weeks, announce-
ment of which will be made later.
Last Saturday eggs sold in
Bellefonte at 70 cents the dozen.
Over the mountain at Centre Hall
they were just 52 cents. Considering
the {act that itis only nine miles
from Bellefonte to Centre Hall the 18
cents difference in the price of a doz-
en of eggs is at the rate of two cents
a mile. As to the eggs, there is nc
question but that the Centre Hall eggs
wera just as good as the Bellefonte
eggs.
There are 531 children in the
public schools in Bellefonte, from
grade one to grade eight, inclusive,
end of this number 255, almost half,
are seven to ten per cent. under-
weight. Don’t ignore the fact that
there is a good chance that your child
is among the number. Look at his
tag, for this is “tag day,” and go to
hear Miss Packard talk on “Diet for
the School Child,” tonight in the
High school building.
In all of Centre county there is
probably not a more generous hearted
man than our good friend George
Stevenson, of Buffalo Run. When he
has anything real good he is not sel-
fish enough to keep it to himself, and
very frequently his generosity leads
him to distribute some of his good
things among his friends. For in-
stance, this week he brought to this
office two frames of white clover hon-
ey which is just about as delicious as
anything in the honey line can be, and
the gift was appreciated sufficiently
to call forth this public acknowledge-
ment and thanks.

State College Wants Better Railroad

An effort on the part of students at

railroads to extend their lines into
| new territory at this time. With over
three thousand persons to handle at |
the beginning and end of every vaca-
tion period, the question of proper
transportation has become a very im-
portant one.
Under existing conditions students
and visitors have to be transported in
automobile busses from three to thir-
ty-five miles to make satisfactory con-
Students
have taken the matter in hand since
the last big rush at the end of the
Christmas vacation when scores were
forced to wait for hours in Bellefonte,
Lemont and Tyrone for automobile
service. Committees will be appoint-
ed to investigate and take up the mat-
ter with proper authorities.
Electric lines from Bellefonte to
Lewistown, through State College, or |
from the Bellefonte-Sunbury branch
of the Pennsylvania Railroad through
State College to Scotia and Tyrone,
have beensproposed in the past. Either
would bring State College better con-

Academy Athletic Banquet.
The annual athletic banquet at the
Bellefonte Academy was held in the
big dining hall last Friday evening
from 6:15 until 10 o’clock, and in
every way it proved as successful and
enjoyable as any such previous event.
Covers were laid for one hundred and
thirty-five and all taken by students,
members of the faculty and house-
hold and invited guests. Mingled in
the decorations were the Academy
colors, blue and gold, and scarlet and
black in honor of Dr. W. W. Comfort,
president of Haverford College who,
with John Blanchard Esq., were the
chief guests of the evening. The
menu was as varied and delicious as
possible to serve at this time of year.
Among the interesting toasts re-
sponded to was that by Prof. Hars-
tine on, “The Academy, a Tremendous
Force in the Community;” Rev. Mal-
colm DePue Maynard on “Good Fel-
lowship;” Prof. A. H. Sloop on “Tri-
angle and King;” Dr. McKinney on
“Foreign Recognition of the Acade-
my;” John Blanchard Esq., on “Our
Alumni,” and Dr. W. W. Comfort on
“The College and Secondary School.”
Mr. James R. Hughes officiated as
toastmaster and music was furnished
by Smith’s orchestra. Brief talks
were made during the evening by
Louis Levinson, Mr. J. H. Hess and
coach Lilling. The one thing that
marred the perfect serenity of the
gathering . was the absence of Rev.
James P. Hughes, on account of his
i last illness, the first banquet he had
missed in many years.
Entertainment in Bellefonte High
; School.
The fourth number of the Belle-
fonte High school entertainment
course will appear next Thursday,
February 19th. The Breed Enter-
tainers will present a fine, novel,
well-rounded program. The compa-
ny takes its name from Roselth
Knapp Breed, the most famous wom-
an humorist in the Lyceum. She is
not a reader at all, rather an imper-
sonator, a depicter of characters.
Miss Breed states that her missien
is to grow a crop of laughs, instead
of leading a procession of “sob sis-
ters.” While she is very funny, she
is admired as a true artist of her
work.
The musical part of the program
will be in the hands of Miss Vera
Chadsey, solo pianist and accompan-
ist, and Hollis Rundlette, saxophonist
and cellist. They are both artists and
their numbers complete one of the
best entertainments on our list.
This year’s entertainments have
been the best ever given in Bellefonte,
yet the course suffers for lack of pa-
tronage. The public should not fail
to attend this one.
Thomas Rishel Badly Injured.
Thomas Rishel, supervisor on the
Bellefonte Central railroad, suffered
a compound fracture of the skull last
Saturday when a stone from a blast
put off in the Sunnyside limestone
quarries hit him on the head while at
work a short distance from the quar-
ries. The accident happened a few
minutes before twelve o’clock. Mr.
Rishel was in charge of some work
being done on the track cf the Belle-
fonte Central. He was far enough
from the quarries to feel no anxiety
over and danger from the blasts. But
unfortunately a good sized stone from
ore of the blasts came down on his
head with such force as to knock him
down and render him unconscious.
He was taken to the Bellefonte hos-
pital where an examination showed
that he had suffered a compound
fracture of the skull. Mr. Rishel for-
tunately wore a thick fur cap and the
doctors aver that but for this fact he
would have been killed outright. In
fact the stone cut through the cap.
Since receiving proper surgical atten-
tion Mr. Rishel has been getting along
very well with good chances of a per-
manent recovery.
—_A very neat and comprehensive
almanac was distributed to its sub-
scribers by the Millheim Journal last
week. It is not only attractive in de-
sign and typographical neatness but.
contains a lot of valuable information
in addition to the calendar months
that makes it a valuable compendium
of easy reference in any household.
Some progress has.
Do you know the saxophone ?
‘Hollis Rundlette will introduce it next
Thursday evening at the High school.

since shortly before Christmas as the
result of a bad fall, is slowly improv-
ing and is now able to get around for
a short time each day.
—A good place to spend a little

— Pilot Robillard came into the
Bellefonte aviation field frow New-
ark on Wednesday with runners on
his aeroplane instead of wheels. Hel-
ler’s field at Newark is so deeply im-
bedded in snow that wheels cannot be
used so runners have been placed on
the machines, and fortunately there is
enough of snow on the Bellefonte field
to make the landing on runners per-
fectly safe and smooth.

— If you want to get the people
gou’ve got to show them value for
their money. The big crowds that pa-
tronize the Scenic every evening go
there because of the good pictures
shown. Manager T. Clayton Brown
has always believed that the very
best in motion pictures was the only
kind to give the people of Bellefonte
and surrounding community and that
is why the Scenic has an established
reputation and always draws good
houses.
A boxing meet with the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, a wrestling
scrap with Lehigh, and a basket ball
set-to with George Washington Uni-
versity, are the attractions at Penn
State for the week-end, and they will

ter sports the equal of which has
never before been served to a local
audience. The basket ballers will
have their contest this (Friday) even-
ing, the wrestlers will go at it to-
morrow afternoon, and the big box-
ing meet with Penn is staged for to-
morrow evening. ©

County Auditors Complete Their
Work.
County Auditors C. M. Gramley, T.
W. Pletcher and H. H. Stover com-
pleted their work of auditing the
county accounts on Wednesday of this
week, establishing a record for doing
the work. Ordinarily it has taken the
auditors seven and eight weeks to go
over the county accounts so that the
present board is deserving of congrat-
ulation for completing the work at
such an early date. But the members
have no hesitation in ascribing the
fact to the splendid condition in which
they found the books and accounts.
This was especially true of the books
of the County Commissioners as kept
by Harry N. Meyer, and those of the
County Treasurer, kept by Miss Ver-
na Chambers, so that it was a really
pleasant job to audit them.
The report of the board of audit-
ors will be published next week in the
“Watchman,” Keystone Gazette and
Bellefonte Republican.
Miss Nancy Hunter Receives a Mer-
ited Appointment.
In order to work out the idea of vo-
cational training in the public schools
the State Board of Education has di-
vided the State into three districts,
the headquarters of the three to be in
Allegheny, Columbia and Chester
counties. In looking around for suit-
able persons to put at the head of
each district as regional directors Dr.
Finegan, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, selected Miss Nan-
cy Hunter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Robert F. Hunter, of Bellefonte, to
take charge of the Columbia county
district, with headquarters at Blooms-
burg. Dr. Finegan was influenced to
make this selection because of the
most excellent work Miss Hunter has
been doing in the vocational school at
Spring Mills. This new department
in educational work will be instituted
at once.
Miss Hunter will go to Harrisburg
tomorrow for final instructions, ex-
pecting to return to Bellefonte early
in the week and leave next Friday for
Bloomsburg to take up her new work.
That she has been selected for such a
good post of responsibility is a very
flattering compliment on her ability
in the line of work she has chosen.

For the Health of the Community.
Today is “Tag Day” in the public
schools. When your child comes home
wearing a yellow tag don’t be too
“busy nor too indifferent to notice it
but read on it his actual weight and
what he should weigh—his normal
‘weight. If he weighs less than he
: should for his age and height, do your
. best to help him climb to normal. See
to it that your girls and boys grow in-
' to normal, healthy, vigorous young
women and men and that they are
not doomed to climb the ladder of life
: with the ball and chain of physical de-
fects and lack of endurance to hold
them back. Lack of sufficient food is
not necessarily the cause of malnutri-
tion for the families of the rich show
an almost equal prevalence of malnu-
trition with the families of the poor.
The real causes, for the malnutrition,
can and should be found and removed
and if done the child will in every case
promptly return to normal weight and
height. All children who are habitu-
ally as much as seven per cent. under
weight for their height are malnour-
ished, and are at least a whole year
below the normal standards which
they ought to have attained. The safe
policy is: Every child above its nor-
mal weight line. On the front page
of last week’s “Watchman” under the
heading, “Standards for Growth,” the
significance of relation of height to
weight was explained. If you didn’t
read it, hunt up the paper and read it
now and then accept the invitation
extended to every parent and guard-
ian of children to hear Miss Sarah
Packard, of the Home Economics Ex-
tension Service of The Pennsylvania
State College, talk on “Diet for the
School Child,” this (Friday) evening,
at eight o'clock, in the High school
auditorium. Not only parents but
anyone interested is invited to come.
This meeting of the Modern Health
Crusaders is free and open to the pub-
lic.
Illness Delayed Electrocution.
The illness of chief electrician Bro-
derick, of the western penitentiary,
delayed the electrocution of two ne-
groes at the Rockview institution
from Monday morning until the same
afternoon, or until the arrival of the
chief electrician from the Ohio State
penitentiary, and it was just 3:30
o'clock when the first man was sent
to the electric chair, and nineteen
minutes later the second man went to
his fate.
The men electrocuted were William
Hiter, of Lancaster county, who on
May 3rd, 1919, murdered George
Eschenauer, near Bainbridge, for the
purpose of robbery, and Lawrence,
alias “Little” Brown, of Dauphin
county, who murdered Wolffe Lacob,
2 Hebrew shopkeeper at Steelton on
January 24th, 1919. Two other men
were implicated in the latter crime,
one of whom was acquitted and the
other made his escape and has never
Been caught.

Cronister Farm Sold.
" One of the most recent real estate
transactions completed this week was
that of the Henry Cronister farm,
three miles north of Martha Furnace,
along the public road to Philipsburg.
This farm contains 103 acres, most of
which is in a high state of cultivation,
together with some valuable timber.
This deal has been closed through
the Bellefonte office of the McVey
Real Estate company to Mr. A. D.
Maurer, of Altoona. What future
plans Mr. Cronister has are uncertain,
but it has been rumored that he will
enter the mercantile profession in a
large city with the coming of spring.
Mr. Maurer, who has for a number of
years been connected with the Penn-
sylvania railroad, will sever his con-
nections with that company on March
1st, and will take up the incidental
work on the farm prior to the coming
season. The consideration on this
property was $5,000.

Did the Census Enumerator Get You?
Frank E. Costello, of Bradford, Pa.,
supervisor of census for this congres-
sional district, is anxious to know if
every man, woman and child in his
district has been properly registered
in the 1920 census. So far as known
all the census enumerators in the dis-
trict did their work carefully and
very well, but at that there is always
a possibility of some persons being
missed, and that is the reason for this
notice.
If any person or persons in Centre
county know they have not been enu-
merated, or for any reason think they
have not, they are requested to send
their name and complete address to
Frank E. Costello, Supervisor of Cen-
sus, Bradford, Pa. Simply enclose
same in an envelope, mark right hand
corner of envelope “official business”
and drop in any letter box or post-
office. No postage is required.
Near East Relief.
Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy, says: “In the face of calamity
the like of which never fell upon the
world before, we are moved to a new
consecration to the spirit of service
and sacrifice. Sentiment, backed by
religion, must dominate not only ap-
proved private philanthropy but pub-
lic policy as well, to the end that the
age-old persecutions in Armenia shall
never curse this world again.”
Every cent that is given to the
Near East relief in Centre county
will be used for the relief of those
suffering folks across the sea. There
are no overhead expenses in our coun-
ty organization. Have you contrib-
uted? Do it now!

— Bellefonte has assumed $2500
as its share of the $8000 allotted to
Centre county as its apportionment of
the Near East relief fund. Up to yes-
terday Bellefonte had raised about
$1000 of its allotment, which includes
everything donated within the past
three months. This leaves practical-
ly $1500 yet to raise. In the county
outside of Bellefonte about $2000 has
been given which leaves a balance of
$3500. From these figures it will be
seen that the people of Bellefonte and
Centre county will have to show a
spirit of greater liberality in their
giving if they do not want to fall be-
hind in this very worthy cause. There-
fore give now, and give until you feel
it.
— Just when Bellefonte is on the
eve of landing several very import-
ant new industries a delegation of
twenty-six young men left Bellefonte
on Sunday afternoon for Ford City to
work in the plant of the Pittsburgh
Plate Glass company. But that is not
saying that they won't be back when
they can find good jobs here.
Rev. Alexander Scott of the
Bellefonte Methodist church, is very
ill with grip at his home in this place.
Rev. Scott had to take his bed imme-
diately after his return from a trip
to Port Matilda, yesterday.
