To Retire as Active Manager of the
Bush House.
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.
Woman’s Missionary Convention.
.The Woman’s Missionary society of
the West Susquehanna Classis of the
Reformed church will convene in au-
nual session March 30th and 31st in
St. John’s Reformed church, Williams-
port, the Rev. W. C. Kittenhouse, pas-
tor. An interesting program has
been arranged. Mrs. H. O. Beam, a
returned medical missionary to China,
will be present and give an address
Thursday evening. All missionary
societies, and congregations within
the Classis not having organized so-
cieties, are requested to send dele-
gates. The convention will open Wed-
nesday evening, March 30th.
Contributions to the Near East
or Armenian relief are commendable,
but funds thus contributed will in no
way be considered a part of the Eu-
ropean relief fund for the saving of
3,500,000 starving children in Oriental
and Eastern Europe. Contributions
for the European relief work should
be sent to W. Harrison Walker, Belle-
fonte, at once.

Beware of the Plant Lice.
A warning against a State-wide at-
tack of plant lice on apple trees was
issued on Wednesday by H. E. 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.

tended trip during the last two months

agement of good scholarship.

Mark Twain as a Typist.
Mark Twain appears to have been
the first distinguished author to pur-
chase a typewriter, and a letter typed
by him to W. D. 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. Edison.
Ap tn,
—If you see it in the “Watch-
man” it’s true.
