Alatcpon Bellefonte, Pa., May 7, 1920. NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY. A little daughter, who has been named Mary Louise, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Leo Toner, Saturday, May first. Don’t forget to go and see the «Green Stockings” at the opera house this (Friday) evening. It will be worth a look. If all love kisses are like “The Love Kiss” that appeared at the op- era house last Thursday night they are pretty bum. The Odd Fellows minstrels at Garman’s next Tuesday and Wednes- day evenings will be an attraction worth while seeing. — (Clarence Ziegler is rapidly re- covering from a siege of typhoid fe- ver with which he has been suffering the past several weeks. Three days of the Academy minstrels is among the high class en- | tertainment in store for the people of Bellefonte and community. The Bellefonte stores have de- cided to take a half holiday every week by closing Thursday afternoons during May, June and July. The thimble bee of the ladies of the Reformed church was held yes- terday afternoon at the home of Mrs George Hazel, south Allegheny street. A total eclipse of the moon oc- curred on Sunday night but it was not generally observed because few peo- ple were informed beforehand of its occurrence.

Felice, the tailor, has so rapidly outgrown his shop on west High street that he was compelled to seek quarters elsewhere, moving this week to the Garman house, in the rooms formerly occupied by Kern's barber shop. After spending the winter at St. Petersburg, Fla., Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Budinger and son Karl left Florida last Saturday on a Clyde line steamer for New York city, shipping their car on the same boat and will motor here from New York. : — Don’t miss the “humorous lec- ture” by Byron W.

Collins, of New York, was in Bellefonte last Friday and completed the purchase of the ground for the new milk station for the West- ern Maryland Dairy. Now that the deed has been executed and the money paid over there is no doubt as to the station being built this summer. W. Homer Crissman, of the Bellefonte Central railroad company, got a nasty fall late last Thursday afternoon when he tripped on a slight- ly elevated cellar door in front of the Bon Mot and was thrown for- ward on the concrete pavement. While no bones were broken he sustained a cut and severe bruises on his face and a badly crippled left leg. Toll charges on the Bell Tele- phone company of Pennsylvania lines went into effect on the first of this month, and as it effects all calls out- side the limits of the several exchang- es in the county, as well as on rural telephone lines, it will naturally mean quite an item of additional expense to any who use the telephone to any great extent in talking throughout the county. Just what effect it may ultimately have on the business of the company can hardly yet be deter- mined. Paul Just, manager of the Bellefonte office of The McVey real estate agency, drove to Lock Haven on Sunday in his Ford car and on his way home the car in some way got be- yond his control on the road below La- mar with the result that he ran into the fence, knocking down several pan- els and wrecking his car pretty com- pletely. Mr. Just had several friends with him and while all landed under the car after it had rolled over and over three or four times they escaped serious injury as if by a miracle. The car had to be lifted before they could get out. » will be of |: ule | , Bellefonte Teachers Granted Ten Per | Cent. Salary Increase. | | | At a meeting of the Bellefonte i school board this week it was decided | to grant the teachers a salary increase ' of ten per cent., which the board con- scientiously feel is all that can possi- {bly be allowed this year, although the | teachers had asked for a raise of twenty-five per cent. While it is no doubt true that the salaries paid teachers now do not compare with the inflated wages of the common laborer, yet the school board has been compelled to consider every other unusual expense and in doing so can not see their way clear to granting more than a ten per cent. raise. Only recently Superintendent of Public Instruction Finegan an- nounced that he will recommend an entire change of books for the public schools of the State, and if he per- sists in this, it will mean an extra ex- pense to the Bellefonte school district of several thousand dollars. Just why the worthy superintendent has decid- en on a change now is of course not known, but to the ordinary layman and the tax-paying public it would seem as if this is not the right time to insist on such a change. All kinds of books and supplies are now selling at blue-sky prices, away beyond their actual value, and it would seem only good business policy to get along with the present books until prices settle to normal, which they are sure to do in the next year or two. At the meeting of the school board three resignations of teachers were considered, Miss Bessie Miles, who will give up teaching for the present to help take care of her brother’s children; Miss Hazel Lentz, who has | t ns Ture : { and Miss Lois Kirk, recently married.

Many of | vorites with a score of younger as- pirants for fame in minstrelsy will be seen on the stage that night in songs, dances and comedy. The chorus of seventeen voices will be supported by a superb orchestra of ten pieces and in the olic there will be a number of specialties by the best of the amateur talent from Lock Haven and Altoona. The show will be just one hour and fifty minutes long and will conclude with the hilarious black-face farce comedy “The Rum Hounds on the Chase.” Mr. Robert I. Hunter will be the interlocutor. On the ends will be Hard P. Harris, Louie Daggett, Her- bert Beezer, Dan Clemson, Milan Valker and Leo Toner. The choir will include such voices as Russell Blair, Cecil Walker, Claire Lyons, Melvin Cherry, R. W. Funk, Millard Hartswick, Michael Hazel, James Seig, Charles Schaeffer and H. M. Musser. The orchestra will be directed by Miss Miriam Smith, pianist, and will include A. W. Witkoff and Robert Al- bert and Frank Robinson, State Col- lege; Louie Hill, Harry Garbrick, Wil- lis Wion and Charles Smith. William Ryan will contribute a clever little juggling act; Harold Knoff, of Lock Haven, will put on a musical novelty and Offinger and Chase, of Altoona, will present for the first time in Bellefonte their pleasing character dancing sketch, while Irvin Chandler, the wonderful boy soprano lately discovered in Bellefonte, will i sing “Freckles” and several other numbers. It will be a show worth seeing with- out thought of the fact that we all should respond with liberal patronage for the support of a band that contrib- utes so much to our pleasure. eel Ap Group 3 Leads the United States. While many people seem to have lost sight of the fact that war stamps and war savings certificates are still on sale as a profitable means of in- vestment and to encourage thrift among the people generally, there are others who are putting all their sur- plus money into these gild-edged government securities. This is evi- dent from the fact that up to April first Centre county had a per capita of 81 cents, and stands second in Group 3. It might also be mentioned that Group 3, of which W. Harrison Walker Esq., of Bellefonte, is chair- man, leads the United States in the per capita of these securities sold. It has a standing of 40 cents, while the entire Third Federal Reserve district is 24 cents and that of the United States 19 cents. Chairman Walker has received a very flattering letter from the Treasury Department in Washington commending him upon his good work in Group 3. In this connection it might be men- tioned that Chairman Walker will go to Bloomsburg today to hold a confer- ence of his committeemen in that county. He will first give a talk on thrift to the students at the Blooms- burg Normal school and at eleven o'clock will preside at a conference to be held in the McGhee house. the speakers at the conference wll be Judge Harmon, of Columbia county. ——Fugene H.

Fitzgerald, one of the old time residents of Bellefonte, with his daughter, Miss Sallie, will leave Bellefonte the latter part of this month and go to Williamsport to make their home with Miss Fitzger- ald’s aunts. They will both be missed by Bellefonte people, Mr. Fitzgerald because of his intimate associations with the history of the town for more than half a century, and Miss Fitz- gerald because of her activities among the young women of the town and her exceptional musical abilities. SE — If you failed to see “Back to God’s Country” at the Scenic Monday and Tuesday evenings you missed a wonderfully good picture which you may never have occasion to see again, but that is no reason why you should not take advantage of every other good picture that comes along, and to do this you should be a regular at- tendant at the Scenic, the best motion picture theatre in this part of the State. Best because it is always con- | ducted decently and orderly and best in the line of pictures shown. All lovers of good pictures go there. eee pl == — Pennsylvania had last year a thousand million million flies and still more.

The parchase includes not only the buildings used for campmeet- ing purposes but a good sized grove The timber they will cut and market and the ground will be sold out in lots, and thus ends a campmeeting place that for half a century was one of the most attract- ive in the State. A murder commit- ted on the grounds in 1882, however, threw it into disrepute and from that year the attendance dwindled until in recent years it was used only as a place for summer campers.

Everybody has been complaining of | the lateness of the season this year and yet just two years ago very little, if any oats was in the ground ‘before the first week in May while corn . planting ran well toward the latter part of the month and both crops were about the average when it came to gather them in, with the exception that a very early frost caught the corn before it was fully matured in the fall. And in this connection we reprint for the benefit of farmers gen- erally a record kept by George F. Musser, of Boggs township, of his spring plantings for forty-four years. From it it will be seen that he has sown oats as late as May 11th and planted corn as late as May 29th, and got good crops from both. So cheer up, and if the weather is propitious, | vou still have time to get in your crops. Mr. Musser’s record is as fol- lows: Began to Began to Began to Plow Sow Oats Plant Corn 1874....

Here is the recipe for the Salvation Army doughnut. If you do not think it is the best ever, ask any of the boys , Mrs. Miller's brother and his wife, Mr. and who were “over there.” This is the formula from which all the doughnuts for the men of the A. E. F. were made. There is something magic in it, for it worked wonders when used under worse conditions than exist in your kitchen. Here it is: 5 cups of flour, 2 eggs, 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup of milk, 5 teaspoonfuls of baking powder, 1 tablespoonful lard, 1 spoonful of salt. Knead and cut and drop in boiling lard. The Salvation Army lassies who made these doughnuts in France say that a happy smile, added to the doughnuts at the time of serving, makes them even more delightful.
