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

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.

, 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

the Odd Fellows’
| for the
| band.
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.

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.

——Charics McVey,

na, was in Bellefonte this week to
look over the housing situation in
Bellefonte in connection with the
movement recently attempted to or-
ganize a realty company to build a
number of much-needed houses in
Bellefonte, but as the company has
not yet been organized and The Mec-
Vey company is not in a position to
assume the responsibility of building
houses for sale, nothing very definite
came out of his visit.
— William T. 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.

— 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.

The McVey real estate compa-
ny, of Altoona, Bellefonte and various
other places closed a deal last Satur-
day for the purchase of the old New-
ton Hamilton camp meeting grounds
for $8,000. 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.

How short is the memory of man!
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-

Salvation Army Doughnuts.
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.

Bellefonte who are always glad to see the

can keep tab on him is to camp right on
his coat-tails.
