Reports are now current that there are indications of a drop in the price of shoes. only the beginning of the end of high prices for all the necessities of life. — Another renewal of the option on the site for that proposed silk mill in Bellefonte would indicate that the J. H. and C. K. Eagle company mean business and that the mill will surely be built. But what has become of the proposed milk station? Eric Stroheim’s wonderful pic- ture, “Blind Husbands,” will be shown at the Scenic next Monday and Tues- day, March 22nd and 23rd. It is a play of the Tyrolean Alps, a daring theme beautifully handled, and should be seen by all lovers of the screen. The fellow who first said that “life was just one d—n thing after another” knew what he was talking about. The snow and ice have about disappeared from the streets of Belle- fonte and the winter’s accumulation of dirt and filth is fast turning into dust which is already swirled about to the disgust of the public generally. A student fire company of fif- ty members has been organized at State College with A. S. Barnhart, of Greensburg, a member of the Junior class, as chief. The College has been without the services of an organized fire fighting body since the rush to the colors in 1917 so disrupted the old or- ganization that it was compelled to disband. With the “Rehab” minstrels Saturday night of next week, the Bellefonte hospital benefit play early in April, the Odd Fellows minstrels, the High school entertainment and the Bellefonte Academy minstrels Belle- fonters will have an abundance of amateur dramatics this spring to mix in with the closing numbers of the regular theatrical season. The first thunder storm of the season occurred last Friday afternoon shortly before three o’clock, and the high wind which accompanied it blew the top off a tree in front of the H. C. Yeager home on north Spring street and broke two large limbs from one of the trees on Howard street along the property of William P. Humes. The storm was of short du- ration. The ninety acre farm of George Musser, four miles from Bellefonte, which he is now offering for sale, is a great opportunity for the man who wants a small farm. 1,000 feet of white pine, 15 car loads of props, a grove of young black walnut trees, fif- ty of them bearing, two springs, and good soil for grain and potatoes are some of the reasons that it could be made a paying investment. The breakup in the cold weath- er will now afford people living in the country a chance to come to Belle- fore and see the good pictures shown at the Scenic every evening during the week. Snowbound as many of them have been for weeks they missed lots of good pictures but there will be plenty of others shown at the Scenic in the future. In fact good pictures are the only kind shown there, and all who can should see them. The Woman’s Foreign Mis- sionary society of the Huntingdon Presbytery will hold its forty-sixth annual meeting in the Presbyterian church at Mt. Union on Wednesday and Thursday, March 24th and 25th. The Rev. Dr. and Mrs. C. A. R. Jan- vier, of India, and Miss Findley, a representative of the Philadelphia Board of Foreign Missions, will be present. The meeting promises to be one of unusual interest and profit. Hardly had last week’s “Watch- man” gotten into the Bellefonte post- office with the announcement that Wiiliam S. Chambers had lost his new fifty dollar watch when the missing ticker was found on the floor under the distributing table of the rural service, where it was probably in hid- ing keeping time on the carriers. The watch had evidently dropped out of Mr. Chambers’ pocket the Saturday: previous and lay there all week. A broken crystal was the only damage noticed on the timepiece. ——The young people of Bellefonte now have an unusual opportunity to take up vocal music with a competent instructor. Under the direction of Mrs. Krader a class is being opened in the Sunday school room of the Methedist church on Saturdays, from 2 to 3 o'clock. Young people, ages 10 to 15 years, should avail themselves of this privilege. A small fee of 15 cents per person will be charged. Take note book and pencil. Sight reading and voice placing taught. After Easter a class will be opened for adults. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has established a quar- antine system over Centre, Cambria and Clearfield counties to combat the potato wart menace, it was announced on Monday. An office will be estab- lished in Ebensburg with R. E. Hart- man and H. L. Roberts in charge, whose duty it will be to visit every potato grower in the three counties and inspect the soil before planting. Tt is also presumed that if you have warts on your potatoes these learned gentlemen will be able to classify them and tell you just what kind of warts they are. Let us hope this is | ed the proceedings of borough council "at the regular meeting on Monday evening. And also notwithstanding the fact that council some months ago placed upon the minutes a resolution that no rebates would hereafter be granted upon water tax assessed against properties, owners in Belle- fonte continue to come before council and ask exonerations for various rea- sons. And so it was at Monday night’s meeting. Samuel Weaver, who last July purchased two of the Wil- liam L. Steele properties, on which the water tax for 1919 had not been paid, appeared before council and ask- ed exoneration on the grounds that he did not take possession until October first. Jacob Lyon appealed from the tax assessed against the W. A. Lyon properties which was increased from | $13.00 to $17.50 on the grounds that , the assessment included two horses and an automobile, when he had only one horse and no automobile, and that | the hcuse had been vacant the past | six months. | Mrs. Resides, of east High street, | asked exonerations because her house | has been closed for a year. | © Mrs. Lydia Gibson, of Philadelphia, | protested against an assessment for | four houses when she has only one. Mrs. John G. Love wants exonera- i tion because her house is closed, and ! John P. Harris protested against be- | ing assessed for six tenants in the old | penitentiary building when there are | only two. All the above were refer- i red to the Water committee for ad- justment. The secretary presented a certified copy of the agreement with the State Highway Department for the state highway on Bishop, Spring and Pine streets. . The secretary also presented the check of the United States Railroad Administration in the sum of $454.34 to cover water tax assessed against the P. R. R. from October 1st, 1918, to July 1st, 1919. Mr. Harris, of the Street commit- tee, presented the borough manager’s statement. of the amounts due the borough from property owners along south Water and Willowbank streets on account of the building of the state highway, said amounts being figured upon the exact measurement in feet of the various properties con- tiguous to the highway. The state- ment was referred to the Street com- mittee and secretary of council to check up and, if found correct, notic- es requesting payment to be sent at once to property owners. The ‘Water committee reported that the 1918 water duplicate and meter bills, on’ which there -is still due $1029.47, has been surrendered by the State-Centre Electric company and will be turned over to the borough manager for collection. Unless these bills are now paid promptly on de- mand the water will be turned off. The 1919 duplicate will be turned over to the State-Centre company just as soon as they file the required bond. Chairman Cunningham, of the Water committee, suggested that a date of appeal for the 1920 duplicate be set as soon as possible so that an effort can be made to bring the collection of water taxes up to date. Mr. Cun- ningham also reported that a bill had been rendered G. R. Danenhower & Son, for $500 for rent of the Phoenix mill to February 28th, 1920. The Finance committee asked for the renewal of notes aggregating $10,300, and orders to pay accumulat- od interets thercon. Regarding the proposition to in- stall water meters on all users in Bellefonte borough manager J. D. Sei- bert stated that the meter manufact- ured by the Pittsburgh Meter compa- ny, is, in his opinion, one of the best on the market, and he introduced C. R. Zeskey, representing that compa- ny, who exhibited a sample of the me- ter manufactured by his company and which is designed for private resi- dences, explaining in detail what he characterized as its many good points and advantages over other meters manufactured. The Pittsburgh Meter company only recently closed a con- tract to place four thousand meters in Altoona and have contracts at a num- ber of other towns, all of which he gave as reference if any member of borough council sees fit to inquire about their work. He also gave coun- cil figures at which they will supply the meters if the order is placed prior to April first, but would not guaran- tee to meet that price if the order is delayed beyond that time. Inasmuch as council is undetermined as to whether they have the power to com- pell users to pay for meters installed action was necessarily deferred for the present, the matter being referred to the Water committee, borough man- ager and borough solicitor for further investigation and report. Bills to the amount of approxi- mately $3,900 were approved by coun- cil for payment. These included $1675 interest on borough bonds and the second payment of $800 with $400 interest on the Phoenix mill pumping station. There being no other busi- ness council adjourned. Pilot Robinson made a new rec- ord from Bellefonte to New York on Wednesday, flying the 215 miles or thereabouts in one hour and fifteen minutes. The best time made hereto- fore was 1.19 by pilot Lewis. Pilot Robinson’s flight was at the flat rate of two and a half miles a minute. paign has gone over the top without | counting Philipsburg and vicinity. Full reports have not yet been receiv- ed from that section of the county so that it is not known just how much was contributed over there. ——Rev. Dr. Jonathan Rose Dimm, former president of Susquehanna University, died at his home at Selins- grove on Sunday in his ninetieth year. at Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg. On leaving college he located at Aaronsburg, this county, where he had charge of the old Aaronsburg Academy while studying for the min- istry. He spent two years there and in 1859 was ordained as a minister in the Lutheran church and for fifty-five years was in active work, either preaching the gospel or at the head of some educational institution, retiring six years ago. 4 ——The daylight saving ordinance which was presented to council at a regular meeting on March first was allowed to die a natural death, not be- ing called up for final action on Mon- day cvening. Members of council were probably influenced in their non- action on the ordinance by the mes- sage Mayor Moore, of Philadelphia, recently sent to the councils of that city requesting that the daylight sav-. ings ordinance recently passed be re- scinded because it conflicts with a state law passed in 1887 which fixes the standard time for Pennsylvania. Other towns throughout the State which were rather hasty in passing daylight saving ordinances will like- ly rescind the same, inasmuch as the railroads are going to adhere to standard time. dg ge ——As a matter of record it might be mentioned that last year at this time many farmers in the county had most of their corn ground ploughed and early gardeners were already at work. Robins and bluebirds were here a-plenty and dandelions were be- ginning to shoot through the ground. But things are different this spring. A few robins are here but so far not a furrow has been turned nor a spade stuck in the ground and it may be a week or ten days yet before farmers and gardeners can get to work. But the groundhog’s reign ended on Mon- day, Easter is only two weeks away and let us all live in hopes that when spring does come it will come to stay, without any long drawn out spells of cold. weather, to interfere with farm work and early vegetation. .., ti ——A number of Academy students were standing on High street bridge last Friday afternoon watching. the turbulent waters in Spring creek which at the time were running about a five foot flood. One of the stu- dents wagered R. D. Brown, of Belle- fonte, another student, five dollars that he was afraid to jump into the stream from the bridge. The wager was ac- cepted, the money put up and peeling off his coat Brown crawled over the railing and jumped into the roaring Though the current was swift he managed to swim to the stone wall alongside of the Bush house where he was helped out of the stream by two other young men. He promptly col- lected the wager and started home to change clothing, none the worse for his foolish prank. ——Enthused over the success of the Mountain High school basket ball league a movement has already been started to form a high school baseball league to include four counties, Cen- tre, Blair, Bedford and Huntingdon. While the project has not yet reach- ed the definite state of even a prelim- inary organization there is every rea- son to believe that such a league and the rivalry it would naturally excite between the towns where the differ- ent teams may be located will create a greater interest in the national game than anything else can do. While it is a little too early to get a line on the baseball material in the Bellefonte High school there is no doubt but that the boys there will be glad of the opportunity to get into the league, and will play the best they know how, win or lose. eee Qe eee: ——Don’t fail to make your reser- vations for the Rehabilitation min- strels which will be given at the op- era house on Saturday evening, March 27th, under the auspices of the Brooks-Doll Post of the American Legion. The “Rehabs,” as they are termed for short, is composed of ex- service men taking special training at State College and enjoys the unique distinction of being the only one-arm- ed, one-legged, one-eyed and one- lunged aggregation of fun makers in existence. They are being drilled by Mr. E. G. Moyer, who recently staged a very successful minstrel at Atlanta, Ga., and in addition to their regular minstrel program will present the one act comedy entitled, “On the Morn of the Eleventh,” the scene be- ing the office of the adjutant, head- quarters of the famous Penn Sate di- vision, in the ruined chateau of Vin Blane, in the French village of Cogi- nac.

Charged with Contributing to the Death of Jarvis Hall. Melvin Rowan, Arthur and Charles Markley and Charles Stark, four Snow Shoe boys ranging in age from eleven to fifteen years, were brought to Bellefonte on Wednesday after- noon and locked up in the Centre county jail on the alleged serious charge of causing or contributing to the death of one Jarvis N. Hall, a ten year old boy of Snow Shoe, whose dead body was found in an old fish pond about midway between Snow Shoe and Clarence on August 17th, 1919. The boys were arrested by two members of the state constabulary from Philipsburg and when brought ' to Bellefonte were locked up without ‘a preliminary hearing before a jus- i tice of the peace. Aside from the fact that he gave | the names of the boys and admitted ‘that they had been arrested on the ‘ charge of causing or contributing to i the death of the Hall boy, district at- | torney James C. Furst declined to discuss the case. S. D. Gettig Esq., who was promptly retained to look #ed, most emphatically refused to say “a; word one way or the other, even re- fusing to state the charge against his clients, though at the jail when they. were admitted the charge of “homicide” was entered against them. The dead body of Jarvis Hall was found in the fish pond referred to above on August 17th and at the time it was stated that he had been in swimming with several companions, had gotten into deep water and drown- ed before he could be rescued. The boy had been making his home with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam H. Hall, and at that time there was some suspicion of foul play. Of- ficers of the law made an investiga- tion but could secure no evidence war- ranting the arrest of any one. Since then, however, state police have been keeping close tab on the case with the result that the four boys above named have been arrested. Some very ugly stories are rife in connection with the case and the part the boys had to do with it, but as they are stories from an unauthorized source the “Watchman” refrains from publishing the same. But it has been stated on authority that the case looks bad for the boys. It is quite likely a habeas corpus hearing will be given the boys in the near future, on a date to be set by Judge Quigley after his return from Pittsburgh. At least two of the boys are under fourteen years | of age and they may not have to stand trial if sufficient evidence is found against the boys at the habeas corpus hearing to warrant holding them. ———————re——————— — “Katcha-Koo.” : A novel and brilliant musical pro- ducion, entitled “Katcha-Koo,” will be given under the auspices of the Hos- pital Auxiliary, April 9th and 10th, at the opera house, Bellefonte. + This Oriental-American Fantas- tique carries the audience from one of the private temples of the Maharajah is laid, to New York, at the home of Mrs. Chattie-Gaddin, a rich American widow.

Sr yA min At the opening of the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Episcopal conference in Harrisburg on Tuesday eighty-one young men were examined for the ministry. Twenty-four of the above number were one and two year probationers while the other fifty-sev- en were recent graduates from theo- logical seminaries. While it isn’t dif- ficult to understand the position of the twenty-four young men who have been wearing the cloth as supplies for one and two years, and with whom it is not an easy matter to make a change, we are forced to conclude that the other fifty-seven must have heard a special call for the work, else why should they choose this high calling with its meagre returns when they could ge into any other line of work, even with half the education they must naturally have, and pick up twice or three times the money they will make as preachers? rt oe pie i One of the twin sons born to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mallory on Tuesday of last week died at the Bellefonte hos- pital on Friday morning and was bur- ied in the Union cemetery the same { afternoon. of Hunga in India, where the first act Bellefonte is to appear in the various | NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Mr. and Mrs. John Rote, of Axe Mann, | are visiting in Pitcairn, having gone out a | week ago. —Mrs. Wells L.

He had an up-hill job of it | keeping the roads in his territory open for | travel during the winter but managed to do it with probably less inconvenience to the traveling public than could have been done by most any other man. Among the work he has planned out for the early summer is top-dressing the mountain road with cinder from Port Matilda to Philips- burg. This work was started last fall but the weather prevented its completion. —James ¥. Hoover, of Snow Hill, Mary- land, was a Bellefonte visitor on Wednes- day morning. A year ago Mr. Hoover had sale on the Mrs. Emma Meek farm, in Fer- guson township and moved his family to the Eastern Shore of Maryland where he had previously purchased a farm of his own. He says they have had very little winter, such as we know it; the mercury has not been below 8 above zero and prac- tically no snow. They raise all of the farm crops we grow, but trucking is a specialty, with tomatoes and melons pre- dominating. The tomato crop, however, was a failure last season the yield having been only a ton to the acre whereas a fair crop runs from five to six. He says they require very little care and are picked by colored boys at three cents per bushel. All in all the Hoovers like their new home very much and may remain there perma- nently unless land values boom to the point where they can’t resist selling. It has almost doubled in value in the year they have been there. —Rev. George E. Smith and C. D. Young | ed to Philadelphia Sunday, by the illness . Charles Thompson, at Lemont, going over | —Rev.

The “Wachman” office had to take | water last week, the first time in a number of years, but it was not for anything we had said or done, but be- | cause of the brief spell of warm : weather and the actions of Old Jupiter Pluvius in being a little too liberal with ‘his H20, all of which resulted in i flooding Spring creek to the point | where it overflowed into the “Watch- man” press room to a depth of about | eight inches. No particular damage was done and the only inconvenience caused was in cleaning the slimy, sticky mud out of the room and off of a machinery after the water subsid- ed. The water reached its highest point at eleven o'clock on Friday night, then receded slowly but surely and the cold weather of Saturday and Sunday i came just in time to allow the surplus water time to drain off before the warmer weather of this week. All the streams in the county were filled to overflowing last Friday, and Buffalo Run overflowed its banks at various places. The Bald Eagle creek was also quite high and the water backed up in the tail race of the State-Centre Electric company’s plant at Milesburg to such a height that they were una- ble to operate their big turbine engine and the result was the plant was clos- ed down shortly after six o'clock on Friday evening and practically all of Bellefonte was in darkness the entire night. In fact it was ten o’clock Sat- urday morning before the plant was again put in full operation. But the ice has gone out of Bald Eagle creek and the Susquehanna river and al- though the water was dangerously high along both streams no particu- lar damage was done, and everybody is hoping that all danger is now past for this spring. ——The Potter-Hoy Hardware Co. has secured the services of Myron M.
