Doing of the Borough Dads.
Eight members were present at the
regular meeting of borough council on
Monday evening. Secretary W. T.
Kelly read a communication from S.
8S. D. Gettig Esq., relative to the pay-
ment of a claim of $75.00 presented
by farmer Isaac Baney for injuries to
himself and horse at the old bridge
over Logan’s branch early in 1919.
Council has always considered the bill
excessive and the matter was refer-
red to the Street committee and bor-
ough solicitor.
A communication was received from
the State-Centre Electric company
stating that their present contract
with the borough would not be affect-
ed in any way by their increase in
rates.
The Street committee reported var-
ious repairs on several streets of the
town.
The Water committee reported that
connection had been made for the
sprinkler system in the new silk mill,
as well as some necessary repairs to
water pipes. The committee also
stated that the State-Centre Electric
company is ready to turn over the un-
collected portion of the 1919 water
duplicate, amounting to $5,142.65, to
the borough treasurer for collection
and would then be in shape to receive
the 1920 duplicate as soon as it is
available.
The Fire and Police committee stat-
ed that policeman Yerger is in need of
a new coat and policeman Howley a
new overcoat. The matter was refer-
red to the committee with power.
The Finance committee presented
the treasurer’s request for the renew-
al of notes for $630, $1000, $400 and
$1000, all of which were authorized.
Mr. Harris, of the Street committee,
stated that the Business Men's associ-
ation would like to have the co-opera-
tion of the borough in the work of
fixing up Mill street, that short
stretch of roadway extending along
the Lewisburg railroad from south
Water street to the new state high-
way at C. Y. Wagner's new mill. In-
asmuch as only about two-thirds of
the roadway is in the borough and the
other third in Spring township the
matter was referred to the Street
committee and borough manager for
consultation with the supervisors of
Spring township, and with power to
act so that the repairs can be made
before cold weather sets in.
Mr. Cunningham stated that G.
Fred Musser, of the G. F. Musser Co.,
would like council to reconsider its
action establishing the rent of the
Phoenix mill property at $1000 a year
dating from April 1st, 1921. The
rent for the present year was placed
at $750, and Mr. Musser maintains
that that amount is all they can af-
ford to pay and would like to make a
five year contract for the property at
that figure. Mr. Cunningham also
stated that the property is in need of
some repairs and the entire matter
was referred to the Water committee
and the borough manager.
Relative to the request of tax col-
lector J. Kennedy Johnston that his
commission during the rebate period
this year De increased from three to
four per cent., the Finance committee
recommended that the commission re-
main the same as last year, and the
recommendation was approved by
council.
A request of the Lauderbach-Zerby
company for permission to cut down
the curb along the state highway on
south Water street to enable them to
make a better driveway into the build-
ing recently purchased from Forest
Bullock was refused on recommenda-
tion of the Street committee, on the
grounds that it would establish a prec-
edent that might result in the mutila-
tion of any and all curblines to suit
the demands of individual property
owners. The company will have the
right, however, to construct a small
swinging bridge to solve the problem
of the new entrance to its building.
Bills to the amount of $1715.77
were approved and council adjourned.
——Prothonotary Roy Wilkinson
will not move his family to Bellefonte
until after the election. Being a Re-
publican office holder he naturally
“dasn’t” lose his vote.
WOODRING.—In the passing away
last Saturday morning of Daniel W.
Woodring Bellefonte has lost another
of its old-time citizens, a man who has
been more or less prominent in the
history of the town and county for
over half a century. His illness dated
back several weeks and was the result
of a bad cold which developed into
pneumonia causing complications
which resulted in his death.
He was a son of Samuel and Cathe-
rine Woodring and was born on the
old Woodring farm in Worth township
on October 27th, 1837, hence was
within eleven days of being eighty-
three years old. His boyhood and
youth were spent upon the farm but
when this country was plunged into
Civil war he enlisted for service in
Company H, 148th regiment on Au-
gust 16th, 1862. In the battle of
Chancellorsville on May 3rd, 1863, he
was wounded in the left arm and
shoulder, the abdomen and the right
leg. He was carried to the Twelfth
corps field hospital and left lying on
the ground without anyone to care for
him. In trying to crawl off the field
he fell into a hole in the woods from
which he was unable to extricate him-
self. Some time later the 124th Penn-
sylvania went into line of battle near
where he lay and by order of Colonel
Hawley he was carried to the road
and put into an ambulance in which
he was hauled to Potomac Creek and
placed in a large hospital. He was
the only inmate and he was left there
alone and uncared for until May 10th
when his left arm was amputated and
his wounds dressed for the first time.
The loss of his arm naturally termin-
ated his service as a soldier and as
soon as he had sufficiently recovered
he was sent home and later discharg-
ed.
In the fall of 1865 D. Z. Kline was
elected Sheriff of Centre county and
when he took office the first Monday
of January, 1886, he selected Mr.
Woodring as his deputy. So efficient
was he in the discharge of his duties
that when the next election rolled
around in 1868 he became the logical
candidate of the Democratic party for
Sheriff, was nominated and elected by
a good, safe majority. As Sheriff of
the county he served from January,
1869, to January, 1872. Retiring from
the sheriff’s office he formed a part-
nership with George W. Woodring and
leased the Brockerhoff mill at Roops-
burg which they conducted a number
of years. On retiring from the mill-
ing business he opened a grocery store
on Allegheny street next door to the
old Ceader bakery and when he dis-
posed of that he purchased the Bair-
foot stationery store in the Humes
block (now Crider’s Exchange). His
stationery store went up in flames
when the Humes block was burned in
1887 and he never reopened. Since
that time he conducted a fire insur-
ance agency in Bellefonte and for a
number of years was local representa-:
tive of the American Lime and Stone
company.
In 1870 he was united in marriage
to Miss Margaret Huey, of College
township, who passed away over thir-
ty years ago. About twenty-five
years ago he married Miss Mary Gal-
braith, who survives with the follow-
ing children by his first marriage:
Robert H. and S. Kline Woodring, of
Bellefonte; Mrs. W. T. Hunt and Mrs.
Roy Conkling, both of Renovo. He
also leaves one sister, Miss Nancy
Woodring, on the old homestead in
Worth township.
Funeral services were held at his
late home on east Howard street at 11
o’clock on Tuesday morning by Dr. W.
K. McKinney, of the Presbyterian
church, after which burial was made
in the Union cemetery.
i Il
WOLF.—Martin Luther Wolf, a na-
tive of Centre county, died at his home
in Altoona on Sunday night after a
four day’s illness with dilatation of
the heart. He was a son of Emanuel
and Leah Wolf and was born at Boals-
burg, this county, on July 23rd, 1854,
making his age 66 years, 2 months
and 25 days. All his life was spent
in Centre county until fifteen years
ago when he moved to Altoona and
went to work for the Canan—Knox
Supply company. Three years later
he gave up his job with that company
and had since been caretaker of the
Oak Ridge cemetery.
On December 30th, 1880, he was
united in marriage to Miss Nora
Stover, who survives with four chil-
dren, Mrs. Mahlon Rice, Roy S,,
John A. and Elsie M., all of Altoona.
He also leaves one brother and two
sisters, A. S. Wolf, of Keyser, W. Va.;
Mrs. Maggie Weaver, of State Col-
lege, and Mrs. Milton Mater, of Al-
toona. Funeral services were held at
his late home at 2:30 o’clock on Wed-
nesday afternoon, after which burial
was made in Oak Ridge cemetery, Al-
toona.

SPANGLER.—Jonathan Spangler a
retired farmer who has for some
years past made his home in Rebers-
burg, died at the Lock Haven hospital
on Tuesday, to which institution he
was admitted last Wednesday, follow-
ing an illness that dated back six
months or more. He was aged 78
years, 5 months and 23 days and is
survived by the following children:
Joseph, of Newton, Kan.; Charles, of
Lincoln, Neb.; Mrs. William Burt, of
Tobias, Neb.; Mrs. Charles McFadden,
of Fairmount, Neb.; Mrs. O. F. Sto-
ver, of Rebersburg, and Rev. Ira
Spangler, of Carlisle. He alsc leaves
two brothers and a sister living in the
west. Rev. C. B. Shank will have
charge of the funeral services which
will be held tomorrow morning, burial
to be made in the Rebersburg ceme-
tery.

SHUGERT.—Frank McCoy Shugert
passed away at the Bellefonte hos-
pital about three o’clock on Tuesday
afternoon following an illness which
dates back to the middle of last De-
cember when he became suddenly ill
while working at the Hyde City plant
of the Nickel-Alloys company. He
was promptly taken to the Clearfield
hospital where his ailment was diag-
nosed as a blood clot on the brain, as
the result of which his one side be-
came partially palalyzed. Some
months ago, when it became evident
that his illness would be prolonged in-
definitely, he was brought to the
Bellefonte hospital where he finally
passed away.
He was the third child of J. Dunlop
and Mary S. McCoy Shugert and was
born in Bellefonte on January 9th,
1874, hence was in his forty-seventh
year. He was educated at the Belle-
fonte Academy and after completing
his course there went to work at the
old Linn & McCoy furnace near Miles-
burg where he spent some years.
Later he worked at various industries
in Bellefonte and after the Nickel-
Alloys plant was put in operation at
Hyde City he went there and was em-
ployed by that company until stricken
by illness.
Upwards of twenty years ago he
was united in marriage to Miss Helen
B. Malin who survives with one
daughter, Miss Elizabeth M. Shugert.
He also leaves one brother and two
sisters, John M. Shugert, president of
the Centre County Banking company;
Mrs. David J. Kelly, of York, Pa., and
Miss Kate D. Shugert, of Bellefonte.
He was a member of the Presbyter-
ian church and Dr. W. K. McKinney
had charge of the funeral services
which were held at 3:30 o'clock yes-
terday afternoon at the John M. Shu-
gert home on east Linn street, Rev.
M. DePue Maynard, of St. John’s
Episcopal church, assisting, after
which burial was made in the Union
cemetery.

_ Notice to W. C. T. U. Members.
A radical change made by the Cen-
tre county W. C. T. U. convention
changes the time of paying annual
dues to October. The annual dues
were increased to one dollar, which in-
cludes a year’s subscription to the
State paper, the Pennsylvania W. C.
T. U. Bulletin. To give every member
an opportunity to pay the dues this
month an attractive autumn “Dues
Social” will be held in the W. C. T. U.
rooms, Petrikin hall, on Friday even-
ing, October 29th, from 8 to 10
o'clock. Ice cream and cake will be
served free, late news from the State
convention given and a general good
time enjoyed. Autumn leaves will be
freely used with hydrangeas to lend
pleasing effects to the decorations of
the room. All members are most cor-
dially invited and urged to be present.
If unable to attend please send dues
to Mrs. L. H. Gettig, treasurer, east
Bishop street, Bellefonte.
Red Cross Roll Call.
The fourth annual Red Cross roll
call will be held November 11th to
25th. Mrs. John Porter Lyon has
been selected as roll call chairman for
the Bellefonte Chapter. In Bellefonte
the actual canvass for names will be
made on Sunday afternoon, November
14th. All churches are requested to
observe this date as Red Cross Sun-
day. Because of the splendid work of
Miss Peterman, the community nurse,
and the possibilities of still greater
work along this line, it is hoped that
there will be a large enrollment.

Early Records Show Potato Spraying |
Pays.
State College, Pa., October 20.—
Returns are rapidly coming in from
all parts of the State on potato dig-
gings in fields where spraying demon-
strations were conducted during the
past summer. Although incomplete,
they show that in every instance there
was a paying increase in yield, which
in thirteen counties averages forty per
cent. This figure represents but a
small portion of the 5000 acres used
for demonstrational purposes, but in-
dicates that there is no doubt but that
spraying potatoes pays the farmer
and pays him well.
The record Pennsylvania yield thus
far was 188 bushels increase per acre
of sprayed potatoes over a yield of
152 bushels for the unsprayed. This
creditable showing was on the farm
of Lloyd White, near Pleasant Gap,
Centre county, and the digging was
witnessed by E. L. Nixon, extension
plant pathologist at The Pennsylvania
State College, who has been instru-
mental during the past two years in
boosting potato yields in the State.
The record last year was 147 bushels
increase of sprayed over unsprayed.
The Centre county farmer has a yield
of 340 bushels to the acre in his spray-
ed field and is one of the very few
farmers in this section who can boast
of no rot developing as a result of the
late blight.
No more convincing figures could
be presented in favor of potato seed
selection and spraying than those al-
ready collected by the State College
specialists. In the thirteen counties
where records have been made avail-
able there is an average yield per acre
of 297.5 bushels on sprayed fields as
compared with 212.6 bushels on un-
sprayed, or an increase of 84.9 bush-
els in favor of spraying. The cost of
spraying is about $12 an acre, or only
fourteen cents for each bushel in-
crease.

Hunting Season Opens.
The hunting season for such small
game as pheasants and squirrel open-
ed on Wednesday but so far as could
be learned no great amount of either
kind of game was bagged in this sec-
tion. Of course conditions were not
the best for bird hunting, at least.
The ground is thickly carpeted with a
heavy covering of newly fallen leaves,
and as no rain has fallen for some
time past the leaves and twigs are dry
and it was utterly impossible to get
within gunshot of the birds. Of
course the same conditions applied to
squirrel.
But even under the best conditions
obtainable there is not much hope for
big success in the hunting of squirrel
or pheasant, for the simple reason
that the game isn’t in the country.
The cutting out of the virgin forests,
and especially the various kinds of
nut trees, has driven the squirrel fam-
ily to migrate somewhere to better
feeding and housing grounds, and the
various forest fires which occur every
year in the mountainous regions of
Centre county have destroyed more
pheasants and pheasant eggs during
the hatching season than are killed in
several years by hunters.
The efforts now being put forth by
a number of true sportsmen of Cen-
tre county, in co-operation with the
State Game Commission. to stock the
mountains with ringneck pheasants
ought to be encouraged by every
hunter to the extent that particular
pains be taken to leave these birds
alive. If the few that are now in the
woods are not killed off but allowed to
remain for breeding purposes it will
only be a matter of a few years until
the woods will be full of the beautiful
ringnecks and there will then be
worthwhile hunting for all.
From a report received yesterday
there must be some squirrel up in
Ferguson township, as Sam Hess and
Ed Martz each got five and George
Burwell shot three before breakfast.

X-mas Seals.
The 1920 X-mas seal is a very pret-
ty design, being a representation of
Santa Claus with a little child on his
back holding up the new design that
has been officially adopted for tuber-
culosis campaigns. It is what is now
known as the Lorraine cross, with two
bars instead of one. The words “Mer-
ry Christmas 1920” appear in the up-
per right hand corner and “Healthy
New Year” at the bottom. The seals
will be placed on sale November 29th.
Persons willing to volunteer to sell
seals in their community are request-
ed to send their names to Miss Helen
Overton, Bellefonte, with the number
they will take. The public is asked to
co-operate in the purchase of said
seals.
——A big six ton moving van arriv-
ed in Bellefonte about eight o'clock
last Friday morning with the furni-
ture and personal belongings of Mrs.
Ivan Walker, who prior to her recent
marriage was Miss Mary Hicklen.
The van left Philadelphia at eight
o’clock Thursday morning accompan-
ied by three men, all of whom are
drivers, so that their drive was con-
tinuous day and night with the excep-
tion of three hours Friday morning
when they were compelled to halt
along the roadside owing to their
prestolite tank going dry.
——On his way from his home to
the F. W. Crider & Son office on Wed-
nesday afternoon Oscar Wetzel was
stricken with paralysis and had to be
removed to his home. His left side is
affected but yesterday he showed
slight improvement. Mr. Wetzel has
been book-keeper in the Crider office
the past twenty-five years and his
many friends hope his affliction will
§00n pass away.
LADY WOLVERTON,
Founder of the Needlework Guild.
A History of the Needlework Guild of
America.
In 1883, at Iwerne, Dorsetshire
county, England, the foundation was
laid for a structure that should unite
waste and want—The Needlework
Guild of America.
The founder, Lady Wolverton, was
deeply interested in an orphan asylum
and conceived the idea of having the
wardrobe of the institution abundant-
ly cared for by asking friends each to
contribute two new articles a year of
wearing apparel or household linen,
laying stress on the fact that they
must be new.
Very soon a group of women began
this labor and the growth was rapid.
Later a paragraph in the local paper
was copied in London, and Lady Mary
Adelaide, of Teck, the mother of the
present Queen, launched the London
Guild, and then Guilds grew up swift-
ly and in wide-spread localities.
In 1885, an American, Mrs. Alanson
Hartpence, traveling in England,
learned of this charity, and brought
the idea home to Philadelphia. Her
niece, the founder of the American or-
ganization, Mrs. John Wood Stewart,
interested a few young women of her
acquaintance, and from that little
band the work has grown until now it
has become a mighty national organi-
zation, counting in 1917 over 350,000
members in the United States, with
offshoots in Canada and Scotland, and
strong branches in Paris, Lyons and
Honolulu, and is constantly working
to extend its usefulness by the form-
ing of new branches.
In 1907 the organization became af-
filiated with the American Red Cross
for co-operation in times of interna-
tional, national and local disaster.
In 1909, the affiliation with the Gen-
eral Federation of Women’s clubs was
effected. The Needlework Guild is al-
so a member of the National Council
of Social Work, and the National
Council of Women of the United
States. In 1917 the Camp Fire Girls
became affiliated with the Needlework
Guild of America. ;
The By-laws provide that in times
of local, national or international dis-
aster, special collections may be called
to help in such emergency. In this
connection valuable - assistance was
rendered at the time of the Johnstown
and Dayton floods, the San Francisco
earthquake and fire, the Spanish-
American war, and in many local cas-
ualties. .
At the outbreak of the war in Eu-
rope in 1914 workrooms were estab-
lished in Lyons, France, under the Ly-
ons branch. Later the War Relief
Department was opened in New York,
and has since operated in the interest
of the allied countries.
As in all great enterprises, the pio-
neer days were full of work and anxi-
ety. An organization without a
clause providing for definite sums of
money to be collected for its support
must needs experience days of “work
and anxiety.” For many years the
By-Laws of “the Needlework Guild”
had no money clause at all, just the
requirement of two or more new arti-
cles of wearing apparel or household
linen, but later, as the organization
grew, provision for a donation of
money—no amount specified—was ad-
ded, for financial support was neces-
sary for Guild extension as well as
for an office and a paid executive.
The Needlework Guild of America
is the only national organization in
the world the specific duty of which
is to collect annually a central stock
from which is given grants according
to the desires of the directors, to meet
the great need of “hospitals, homes
and other charities.”
The plan of work is very simple and
the effect far-reaching, especially the
moral effect of the new clothes. The
Guild aims not to supersede but to
supplement what is already being
done, and is steadily gaining a deeper
hold on the interests of people, who at
once enter into the plan and give it
their service as Guild members.
The Needlework Guild of America
is non-sectarian and in Bellefonte has
the following officers:
President—Mrs. Harry Valentine.
Vice Presidents—Mrs. R. S. Brouse,
Miss Mary Hoy.
Treasurer—Mrs. W. F. Reynolds.
Secretary—Mrs. John M. Shugert.
Asst. Secretary—Mrs. John Curtin.
The annual contribution of new ar-
ticles of wearing apparel or household
linen, or a donation of money takes
place this week and the Bellefonte
branch will welcome anything in this
line you may care to give and will al-
so welcome you as a new member if
you are not one already.
Women’s Conference.
The annual fall county conference
of all women’s organizations will be
held in the High school building Belle-
fonte, tomorrow, October 23rd. There
will be two sessions, at 10:30 a. m.
and 1:30 p. m. An interesting pro-
gram has been arranged. A box
luncheon will be served at noon in the
domestic science rooms, to which all
are invited. The women of all organ-
izations are urged to be present.
——Big programs of high-class mo-
tion pictures at the Scenic every even-

Bishop Quayle at State College.
The people of State Colege and vi-
cinity enjoyed a rare treat in the visit
of Bishop William A. Quayle, October
16th and 17th. On Saturday evening,
in St. Paul’s Methodist Episcopal
church, the Bishop delivered his fa-
mous lecture, “Rip Van Winkle,” to a
large and appreciative audience. As
a lecturer, Bishop Quayle is unique.
His ready wit, graphic pictures, satire
and oratory, make him one of the
greatest lecturers on the American
platform.
On Sunday morning the Bishop ad-
dressed a large company of college
students on “The Business of the
Church.” At 10:45 he preached to a
large congregation, taking for his
text Hebrews 12:2, “Who for the joy
that was set before Him, endured the
cross despising the shame.” In his
inimitable way, he showed that shame
and sin are about the only things to
be despised. That we are not to en-
dure life but enjoy it. Not bear it
like a stoic, or look upon it as a cynic
but brave the storms like a christian
keeping our hearts set to the eternal
melody of joy.
In the evening the Bishop was
greeted by an audience which crowd-
ed the church to its capacity. The
text of the evening was: “Wherefore
the Foundations of God standeth
sure.” The speaker was at his best.
In a masterly way he raised the ques-
tions concerning the existence of God,
the immortality of the soul, the im-
mutability of the Bible, the divinity
of Christ. Taking them in their or-
der, he said, “After fifty years or
more of scientific control and inves-
tigation God is a fact more than ever
before. The soul is apart from the
body; the Bible the most published
and read book. Christ is the greatest
force in this country and loved by
more people than ever before.” This
was a master sermon and its influ-
ence will linger with those who were
fortunate enough to hear it for many
days.
A Good Show Coming.
A theatrical event for which pa-
trons of the theatre have been looking
forward to for some time is announc-
ed for the opera house, Bellefonte, on
Monday evening, November 1st. Itis
the forthcoming engagement of “Tea
for Three,” Roi Cooper Megrue’s ster-
ling comedy hit which is presented un-
der the management of The Selwyns.
The cast, which is of super excel-
lence, is headed by Bert Leigh and in-
cludes Millicent Hanley, J. W. Cowell
and others. The comedy will be seen
here, exactly as it was presented at
Maxine Elliott’s theatre, New York,
where it ran for one entire year.
“Tea for Three” is a brilliant bit of
writing. Critics have declared it the
best thing of its kind to come from
the pen of an American playwright.
Moreover, it is one of the: most dra-
matic stories ever told on the stage.
The strongest proof of the excel-
lence of the attraction booked for the
Garman theatre is the fact that since
it was first offered to the public, it has
been seen by more people than any
other play of similar character. And
the first unfavorable criticism has yet
to be uttered of it.
To tell the story of “Tea for Three”
would be to deprive theatre goers of
some of the pleasure in store for
them. Suffice it to say it is intensely
interesting; highly dramatic and
withal so thoroughly human that it is
veritably nothing more than a slice
out of real life.
“Tea for Three” will be seen here
for one performance only. The seat
sale opens at Mott’s drug store Satur-
day, October 30th.
