Once again the great hearted peo- ple of Centre county are being called upon to come to the rescue of starv- ing and suffering humanity across the sea. Over three million European children, without food and without sufficient clothing, are holding out their bony hands and pleading with the American people to send the re- lief until the coming harvests can be gathered in. The European relief council, of which organization Herbert Hocver is chairman, has assumed the task of collecting the sum of $33,000,000 to carry through this worthy preject of saving human lives. Ceatre county, ever loyal and always proud of its rec- ord in past campaigns, has been allot- ted the sum of $10,000, and it is the plan of the local committee te raise this sum in one intensive campaign of seven days, March 13th to 19th. There will be no house to house can- vass, and you will not be troubled with solicitors, but you are hereby urged to send your contribution at once. W. Harrison Walker is county chairman and all checks are to be sent to his office, so that proper credit can be given, but the checks are to be made payable to James K. Barnhart, treasurer. Ten dollars will pay for one nour- ishing meal a day for one child until the harvests can be gathered. Will you show your willingness to furnish food for one or more “Invisible Guests” by sending a contribution at once, for “he gives twice who gives quickly.” There are absolutely no salaries paid to any one in this campaign and all services are rendered gratuitously, so that one hundred cents of every dol- lar contributed will go to the relief of the starving children. For the sake of the starving child- hood of other lands, may the patriot- ie, generous-hearted folks of old Cen- tre county give to this worthy appeal and have the satisfaction of knowing that they have saved little children from suffering, and that they have had a part in revealing the true spirit of America to those unfortunate people in foreign lands.

The faculty of Dickinson College adopted a memorial minute on the death of Prof. Henry M. Stephens, who passed away recently at his home at Carlisle, within two weeks after the death of his esteemed father, the late Rev. W. A. Stephens, which pays trib- ute to the gentleness, purity and force of his character, his mingling of po- etry and art with the science which was his life work, and his fidelity to all trusts, notably to his work on the college athletic boards. The minute closes with these words: “Wise and moderate in council, diligent in every assignment, friendly and considerate, his help and support are sadly missed by his fellow workers. His love for his alma mater and his students and his power as a teacher are an inspira- tion to all his associates, and will be cherished as a precious heritage.” Garden making and house cleaning time are looming larger on the horizon every day.

In connection with the plant it might be stated that while the supply of milk received has shown a steady increase it is not nearly up to what the plant is able to handle nor the management would like to have. When the meeting was held in Bellefonte over a year ago to ascertain the sen- timent of the farmers in this commu- nity towards the establishment of a milk station here in the neighborhood of four hundred farmers signed up as willing to furnish milk in the event the plant was built. Up to the pres- ent time the supply of milk the sta- tion is receiving daily comes from but one hundred and thirty-five farmers, and there is a strong desire on the part of the management to receive the milk of the other two hundred and sixty-five farmers. Of course, spring time is coming, when fresh cows will be numerous, and the probability is that many for- mers who have been a little short on milk during the winter season will al- so get into the selling game, and then there should be a very decided in- crease in the supply furnished the | milk station.

If your April and May hatched chicks do not start to lay in November or sooner, there is something wrong with your method of feeding and car- ing for them. Your mature hens will be molting and consequently not lay- ing through November and December, so for this reason it is especially de- sirable to have the young pullets Iay- ing at this time thus insuring a good supply of eggs when the prices are best. The Farm Bureau will hold a series of meetings during the week of March 14-19 at which time H. D. Monroe, poultry extension specialist, will dis- | cuss better methods of feeding and caring for young chicks. The meet- ings will be held at the following places: Monday, March 14, 2 p. m., at Leonard Confer's, Howard. io. Tuesday, March 15, 102. m., 1. 0, O.

Nixon, extension plant pathologist, at the regular monthly meeting of the Centre county Farm- er’s co-operative association March 17th, at 8 p. m., dairy building, State College.

An av- erage gain of 74.7 bushels per acre. Every farmer who possibly can should attend this meeting and learn i the how, when and why of potato ‘spraying.

It’s a far cry from the circus of ‘early days to the big mammoth two train enterprise of the present age. ‘ Fifty years ago tented shows were hauled from town to town, and village to village in wagons drawn by horses over roads either deep in mud or heavy with sand and dust. They were small affairs, those traveling institu- tions, but they were hailed with joy by the people who patronized them generously. “Circus-Day” was always a holiday, and no doubt it always will be. All the boys and giris of Bellefonte and the vicinity are eagerly awaiting the coming of the Walter L. Main shows that will give two performances here cn Monday, May 9th. This season the menageria has been increased multi-fold, as it is now pos- sible to obtain shipments of rare ani- mals that before, and shortly after the war could not be had. Among the rare features will be seen a number of aquatic monsters never before exhib- ited, let alone kevt in captivity. These vnusua! finds from the South coast of Africa Lave to be kept constantly im- rzersed in sea-water, and ure extreme- iy poisonous. GF a large cize, half fish and half animal, they have creat- ed unusual excitement wherever shown. It has been necessary to have special wegons built fer their trans- portation. The big chow has an array of talent that makes it second to none. Several unusual acts offer divertisement to an giready large program. These acts are unique, in that, it is their first American appearance. Another fea- ture this year is the free attractions at the grounds, and of course the mile long parade at noon. The clown colo- ny has been added to as well, so that you may be sure of many a laugh. a Little Mothers’ League. A “Little Mothers’ been orgaized by Miss Peterman, Bellefonte community nurse. “The : Little Mother” is a potent factor for the better care of the baby of today and tomorrow. The little girl of to- ‘day is the mother of tomorrow. But even today there are many little girls entrusted, by necessity or otherwise, with the responsibility of caring for baby brothers and sisters, and these i therefore, are not only mothers of to- ! morrow, but also little mothers of to- { day. The Litle Mothers’ League prac- "tically serves a three-fold purpose: ' It instructs the girl of today to be- ‘come an intelligent mother of tomar- ‘row; to be an intelligent little mother ‘of today; and to act as an agent to make the actual mother more intelli- gent on the care and treatment of the baby.

Dick Harlow, coach of the Penn State boxing team, and assistant foot- ball coach, at State College, had a narrow escape from serious injury or possible death a few days ago while conducting a search for rare birds’ eggs over in the fourth range of the Seven mountains. Only his presence of mind and great strength saved him when he went over the side of a 90 foot cliff and landed with a crash at the bottom. Harlow is one of the leading author- ities on bird lore in the United States and every summer for the past several years he has been employed by the Smithsonian Institute to go on expe- ditions into northern Labrador in search of rare birds’ eggs. In his per- sonal collection, he numbers many fine specimens. His trip the other day was the first of the year. In order to inspect a nest of ravens, the Penn State coach, who stands over six feet tall and weighs in the neigh- borhood of 250 pounds, was forced to swirg himself over the cliff, slide down a rope, and then swing in under the over-hang to where the nest was located on a six-inch ledge. When about mid-way down the rope, a loose rock dislodged itself up above and came hurtling down on Harlow’s head. Stunmed by the blow, he managed to retain his hold on the rope as he went sliding to the bottom, and thus broke the worst of his fall. After lying unconscious for about a half hour, Harlow managed to make his way into Coburn, where he found a conveyance to take him back to State College. One hand was cut to the bone and the other badly seared by the rope, his head was severely bruised, and his body was a mass of cuts and bruises, but fortunately no bones were broken. Wetzler—Miller.—Malcolm L. Wetz- ler, eldest son of Mi. and Mrs. L. Frank Wetzler, of Milesburg, and Miss Jeannette O. Miller, of Belle- fonte, were married in Philadelphia on Wednesday of last week by Rev. Drew, of the Third Baptist church. Miss Miller had gone to Washington a week previous to visit her sister, Miss Lucy Miller, who is in the government employ in the national capital, going from there to Philadelphia on Tues- day where she met Mr. Wetzler and their marriage took place the next day. They returned home on Satur- day evening and were given a rousing reception by their many young friends. The bride has been in the employ of the Potter-Hoy Hardware store the past three years and will continue there until the company can secure some one to fill her position. The bridegroom is a graduate of the Belle- fonte High school, class of 1917, and served during the world war. He is now in business with his father in Milesburg. The young couple will go into a home of their own just as soon as they can find a place to locate. ——1If you want a lot of innocent fun attend the spinster’s convention at the High school building this (Friday) afternoon and evening.
