After being in charge as landlord of the Bush house for thirty-one years Mr. W. L. Daggett will retire from the active management next month and move into his home on east Linn street and his son, Lewis L. Daggett, will move to the hotel from west Linn street and assume the active manage- ment of this well known and popular hotel. Mr. Daggett, however, wiil still keep in touch with the business and bestow his wise counsel wherever needed to keep up the popularity of the hotel with the traveling public. As stated in a recent issue of the “Watchman” some very decided im- provements will be made in the hotel this spring, some of which are already under way. The office and all con- necting rooms will be repainted in the same pleasing design which has pre- dominated the past few years The main lavatory in the rear of the office will be almost entirely done over, with new plumbing and everything needed to bring it up to date. The din- ing room will be done over and when completed will be white throughout. The second and third floor halls will be repapered and repainted through- out. The various baths and lavatories on these floors will also be equipped «~ith new plumbing. Hot and cold running water will be installed in eight additional rooms, making a to- tal of thirty-one so equipped, while eight will have private baths and toi- let. The installation of shower baths in several rooms is also being consid- ered. The present a la carte service in the dining room will be continued as well as the club breakfasts and business men’s luncheon at noon, which have proven so popular, and also the dollar table de hote Sunday dinner for the convenience of home guests. The new cafe which was started as an experi- ment in the room formerly occupied by the bar will not only be continued in the future but its service greatly improved. In fact nothing will be left undone to make the hotel the most de- sirable place possible for the traveling man as well as touring automobile parties. Brockerhoff House to Open May First. © After being closed to the public since the first of last October the . Brockerhoff house will be reopened on : or about May first with M. A. Land- sy in charge. During the seven months the hotel has been closed some very decided improvements have The hall- ways, dining room, office and a num- ber of other rooms have been repaint- ed and repapered. The kitchen and pantry have been remodeled and greatly improved. Two new shower baths for men, one on the second floor and one on the third, have been in- stalled with an additional toilet and bath for ladies on the third floor. Hot and cold running water have been in- stalled in a number of additional rooms, making twenty-four in all so equipped. There are also some six or eight rooms equipped with private bath. ~The dining room and the entire sec- ond floor (or first floor bedrooms) will be newly furnished throughout; in fact so pronounced have been the changes and improvements made that old ‘ patrons of the hotel will hardly know the place when it is thrown open to. the public on May first. Already Mr, Landsy has had a number of ap- plications from people for rooms as regulars in the hotel and there is no reason to doubt but that once opened the Brockerhoff should prove as pop- ular as ever.

Hodg- kiss, extension plant insect specialist at The Pennsylvania State College. The green aphids are coming out on apple trees in many parts of the State in large numbers, and unless an ex- tended cold spell comes immediate steps should be taken by orchardists to prevent a great loss to this year’s crop. The attack was expected when the large number of plant lice eggs was noted last fall. Mr. Hodgkiss advises that those growers who were bother- ed with the lice to any extent in pre- vious years should “look out” for them this year, as they will be many times as numerous. Fruit growers should bear in mind that while mak- ing their sprays they should include some nicotine sulphate in the delayed dormant spray to kill off the lice. The first spray is made when the green tips of buds are one-fourth to one- half an inch in length. The buds are shooting out fast, but a quick freeze will kill off many of the lice without undue injury to the buds. Nicotine in the spray will give protection.

District forester Bartschat, of Mil- roy, reports to the Department of For- estry that five forest fires have occur- red in the Penn district since the first of the year. The total area burned over by the five fires was only three acres. : Forest ranger Smith and towerman Yeager recently visited Poe valley and found that the beaver colony had in- creased. Formerly there was only one colony in Poe valley but now a new colony has started up just below the old one. During the present fire season Mr. Yeager will camp right at the foot of the Poe mountain tower within hear- ing of the telephone bell at all times. Final arrangements for his quarters have been completed, and he will make his home during the coming fire sea- son at the foot of the tower in the forest. A telephone line has been completed | from ranger Monsell’s headquarters to Woodward. This was the final link | in the telephone system in the Penn forest district, connecting the forest- er’s headquarters with the forest ranger. Forester Bartschat reports that everything in the Penn district is ready for the spring fire season, and that the work of the brush disposal along the Lewistown and Bellefonte pike is being rapidly pushed ahead.

Howells on Decem- ber 9, 1874—the very day the machine reached him—is still extant. . “I don’t know,” he tells him, “whether I am going to make this typewriting machine go or not; that last word was intended for n-not; but I guess I shall make some sort of a success of it before I run it very long. I am so thick-fingered that I miss the keys. You needn't answer: this. I am only practicing to get three — another slip-up there; only practicing to get the hang of the thing. I notice I miss fire—get in a good many unnecessary letters and punctua- tion marks. I am simply using you for a target to bang at. Blame my cats, but this thing requires a genius in order to work it just right.” Finds Pleasure in Thinking. Thinking after a while becomes the most pleasurable thing in the world. Give me a satchel and a fishing rod, and I could hie myself off and keep busy at thinking forever. I don’t need anybody to amuse me. It is the same way with my friend, John Burroughs, the naturalist. We can derive the most satisfving kind of joy from thinking and thinking and thinking. The man who doesn’t make up his mind to cultivate the habit of think- ing misses the greatest pleasure in life. - He not only misses the great- est pleasure, but he cannot make the most of himself.—Thomas A.
