held in the grand jury room in the
court house this (Friday) evening at
interest of the!
movement to organize a realty com- |
pany, the object of which is the pur- |
eight o'clock in the
chase of building sites and erection of
houses to relieve the tension on the
housing situation in Bellefonte. There
is re question but that there is a de-
mand for homes in Bellefonte but care
must be exercised to keep them with-
in the limits of the purchaser’s pock- |
etbook, and yet have as many conven- |
iences as the average family demands.
On Monday evening members
of the Patriotic League gave a pro-
gressive card party in honor of Miss
Ida Brandman, who has been one of
the most active members of the
league since its organization several
years ago. The party met at the home
of Miss Sallie Fitzgerald on Spring
street where they spent an hour then
progressed to the home of Mizs Win-
ifred M. Gates,
street, and wound up at the home of
Miss Eleanor Weston on west Linn
street. Notwithstanding the rainy
weather the young people had a most
enjoyable time.
——A railroad siding has been put
in to where C. Y. Wagner is erecting
his new flour and feed mill just south
of Bellefonte. This will enable all
shipments of material for the mill to
be put right on the ground. Contract-
ors George Rhoads & Son began pour-
ing the concrete this week for the first
story of the mill and with anything |
like fair weather another month or
six weeks will see the structure very
much adanced. A big fill is being
made along the state road just south |
of the mill to afford ample space for
teams or trucks in hauling produce to
and from the mill.
——M. I. Gardner has sold his
house on the corner of Spring and
Howard streets to the Parker family
as a home for Mr. and Mrs. G. Ross
Parker. Miss Emily Parker came to
Bellefonte from Somerset on Monday
to close the deal, the sale price being
$8,500. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Craw-
ford will retain their portion of the
house for a year at least while the
Parker family will likely take that
portion of the home occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. J. E. LaBarre, the latter, it
is rumored going to the house on
Thomas street now occupied by the
Parkers. It is just possible that the
change will eventually mean the com-
ing to Bellefonte to make their home
of the three Parker sisters, Misses
Emily, Elizabeth and Anna. The sale
by Mr. Gardner of the above house
closes out his property holdings in
that section of the town, his other
property having recently been sold to
ex-sheriff W. E. Hurley, who is hav-
ing the same completely overhauled
and remodeled before moving into it
from the Kurtz property on High
street.

Movement to Form Centre County
Conservation Association.
A number of representative men of
Centre county held a meeting at the
home of Major Theodore Davis Boal,
at Boalsburg, last Saturday, to consid-
er the advisability of organizing a
Centre county conservation associa-
tion, the object of which is to foster
the conservation of the forests and
: other natural beauties and resources
"in Centre county.
| On motion the chairman appointed
+ a temporary committee to arrange for
a public conservation meeting to
! which everybody in the county inter-
ested in the formation of such an as-
sociation is invited. The committee is
as follows: Prof. J. A. Ferguson,
State College, chairman; David Cham-
bers, Snow Shoe; S. Ward Gramley,
Millheim; J. Will Mayes, Howard;
George R. Meek, Bellefonte, and
Ralph A. Smith, Sandy Ridge.
the use of the Boal picnic grounds as
a place for holding a public meeting
and it was decided to hold the gather-
ing at an early date, and to have the
same in the nature of a picnic. The
exact day and time will be announced
in the near future.

At the December term of court
Burdine Butler, of Howard, was found
guilty under the state vaccination law
for refusing to send his children to
school because he would not have his
children vaccinated according to law.
A motion was promptly made for a
new trial and the case was to have
been argued this week, but owing to
the inability of Mr. Butler's lawyer,
Col. Sol. E. Long, of Texas, and Erie,
to be present, Judge Quigley agreed
to continue argument until June, pro-
viding the defendants would then, if
a new trial is refused, immediately
appeal the case so as to bring it be-
fore the Superior court in October.

Altoona ' comes forth with a
story of “the meanest man in that
town” who, the other day, chased a
washerwoman off his land who was
gathering dandelions to help out with
{ the dinner for herself and three small
' children. Probably he wanted the
| dandelions saved so he could gather
! the blossoms to make dandelion wine
to help out through the long dry spell.
Bellefonte has a man just as mean or
i meaner. He went into a Spring street
i house a few days ago and drank half
of a pint of whiskey contributed for a
| very sick woman. The very worst
' place that such people could be con-
‘signed to would be a thousand times
too good for them.
——Centre county members of the
'D. A. R. who recall the interesting
contest last fall for state regent be-
"tween Mrs. E. E. Sparks, of State
College, and Mrs. Annie Taylor Dreis-
bach, of Lewisburg, will be interested
in hearing that the latter lady was
united in marriage on Saturday, April
2nd, to Eugene F. Marsh, of Scranton.
An interesting incident in connection
with the marriage is that it would
have occurred last year had not Mrs.
Dreisbach been a candidate for state
! regent of the D. A. R., but she prefer-
red making the fight for that office
before entering into a second matri-
monial alliance.

Interesting Aftermath of the World
War.
Readers of the “Watchman” are fa-
miliar with the fact that one of the
first, if not the first Centre countiar
to be wounded in the world war in
ronce was Lieut. Henry Keller, a
of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Keller, of
>fonte, who got a bad shot in the
g at the battie of Chateau Thierry.
When Lieut. Keller was moved from
he evacuation hospital to base hos-
pital No. 44 in the same ambulance
with him was a young lieutenant who
had lost an arm in the same hattle in
which Henry was

they naturally became separated.
Lieut. Keller, who completed his
course at State College during the
winter, was awarded a scholarship for
a pest graduate course at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin at Madison, Wis.,
where he has been the past several
months. Just recently he was walk-
ing along one of the streets of that
city when he met a man with one arm.
The man stopped in his tracks and
looked at Henry, which naturally
caused the latter to take a good look
at the stranger, and remarkable as the
fact may seem it proved to be the
lieutenant of the France episode. Mu-
tually warm greetings followed and in
the exchange of confidences it devel-
oped that the lieutenant, whose home
is in LaCrosse, Wis.,, now holds a
good position in Madison and it is
quite likely the chance meeting will
result in a friendship that will prove
equally agreeable to the two men who
did their part in defeating the Hun.

Epworth League Social.
The Epworth League of the Meth-
odist church will hold a social in the
lecture room of the church Friday
night of next week; are you going?
The League members are not selfish
enough to want the good time all to
themselves, so everybody is invited.
They plan to have a short program of
music and then something that they
have planned as a surprise for all who
attend. It is just possible they will
have lantern slides of Eagles Mere
and show those. Then there will be
games and a good time generally.
Don’t take your pocketbook along, as
you will not need it. Just go yourself
and take a friend or two with you.
Bellefonte High School Lost Out in
Interscholastics.
The Bellefonte High school basket
ball team lost out in the interscholas-
tic meet held at State College last
Friday and Saturday, being defeated
on Friday evening by the Williams-
port High school quintette by the close
score of 19 to 18. The game was
practically lost by Johnson, who made
only four points out of a total of
twelve tries for fouls, which was
away below his usual record. But at
that, they gave the crowd of fans in
attendance the most exciting game of
the entire series which was finally
won by Harrisburg Tech, with Belle-
vue second.
