Big Improvements Contemplated at
Academy Grounds.
One of the great improvements that
Prof. James R. Hughes hopes will re-
sult from the recent disastrous fire,
js the immediate concreting of the |.
driveway within the Academy
grounds, extending from the Bishop
street entrance through the Academy
property to the Logan street entrance.
Every time it rains hard this drive-
way is torn up into ruts and the prop-
erties of the neighbors are damaged.
Concrete drains should be constructed
to carry off this terrific downpour of
rain.
At the Logan street entrance Mr.
Hughes desires to erect two fine lime-
stone pillars with electric lights on
the top. Mr. McCargar and Miss Ol-
ive Mitchell have given their consent
to the erection of these pillars near
their properties. Such an improve-
ment would cap the climax of the con-
crate improvements on Bishop and
Spring streets and those made recent-
ly by Dr. Joseph Brockerhoff about
his property. Mr. Hughes says he is
game to rebuild the Academy and
complete the swimming pool and skat-
ing pond enterprise, but he desires
the old students of the school to con-
tribute the money needed for this en-
terprise.
The expense involved should not ex-
ceed five thousand dollars. This
would be a wonderful public improve-
ment that would be enjoyed and ap-
preciated by all, and Mr. Hughes
would be encouraged in his present
troubles, if the Academy students liv-
ing in Bellefonte and Centre county,
would interest themselves at once in
the matter and notify Mrs. J. R.
Hughes or Miss Daise Graham imme-
diately by mail or phone what they
will contribute. A letter of appeal
has been sent to many students who
live at a distance. If every one does
his or her bit, no one will have to
make a large subscription. While la-
bor is plentiful and at hand, Mr.
Hughes wishes for aid to begin this
enterprise and continue it simultane-
ously with the other building enter-
prises, so that all will be in readiness
for the opening of schocl in Septem-
ber. A public record will be kept of
all contributions. A similar enter-
prise was inaugurated by Mr. Hughes
in 1905, following the destructive fire
of 1904, to collect funds to fill the old
hollow, terrace the yard in front of
the main building and: lay a flagstone
walk from the front approach to the
residence. It will be remembered
that many contributions flowed in at
Mr. Hughes’ request and the benefit
derived is apparent every day.
Friends and students, think quickly
and act immediately in this matter.
Remember that “every little helps.”
While the Hughes brothers are away
now for new boys, it will encourage
them to knew that the old students
are encouraging this worthy enter-
prise. And they expect to have a
student body that will spend here
close to $100,000 next year. The con-
tractor is ready to start the job as
soon as there is an indication of finan-
cial support.
Draw all checks payable to Miss
Olive Mitchell, Bellefonte, Pa., who,
as an old student of the Academy,
with a long and successful business
experience, as she will act as treas-
urer of this improvement fund.
When you draw your check please
accompany it with a permission to
publish your name and subscription
in the weekly papers. It will create
a stimulus, perhaps, for some other
one to contribute likewise. Of course,
if you insist that no publicity be given
to your favorable attitude, your wish
shall prevail. It is desirable that as
many subscriptions as possible appear
in next week’s papers. Who will take
the lead? The enterprise will go
through. Several old students have
cheerfully voluntered subscriptions,
so join the movement early and help
to make it a success.
Are Your Hens Laying?
The Centre county Farm Bureau, in
co-operation with the poultry exten-
sion department of The Pennsylvania
State College, will hold a series of
poultry selection meetings this sum-
mer to demonstrate the common
methods of determining whether a hen
is laying or not and whether or not
she has been a profitable asset to the
farm flock. w
County agent, J. N. Robinson, is
planning these meetings so as to
reach as many people as possible. To
know how to detect the boarder in the
poultry flock, farmers and poultrymen
should attend one of these meetings.
Every one will be given an opportuni-
ty to handle a number of birds, thus
securing actual experience and real
knowledge of the principals of selec-
tion under the direction of H. D. Mon-
roe, poultry specialist of The Penn-
sylvania State College.
Proper culling of the farm flock
will keep the egg production to fifty
per cent. or better during the sumer
months. With the price of eggs so
low, no one can afford to feed hens
that are not producing.
HAMILTON. — Professor John
Hamilton, associated for forty years
with The Pennsylvania State College
in positions of responsibility and
institute leader with the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture, died suddenly at
his State College home on the morn-
ing of July 5th. While he had been
in poor health for the past several
years, death was unexpected at this
time, as only a few days before he had
appeared on the campus for the first
time in months, and had made a tour
of the college farms. The excessive
heat of the two preceding days and
heart trouble ended the career of one
of Penn State’s most prominent grad-
uates. Funeral services on the fol-
lowing Thursday evening were attend-
ed by scores of college officials and
towns people. Interment was made in
the Branch cemetery.
The story of Professor Hamilton’s
life and service to the College, State
and nation, can probably best be told
by Dr. William Frear, vice director
and chemist of the Pennsylvania Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, who
Professor Hamilton in agricultural
work for the past thirty-six years.
Dr. Frear writes:
«With the passing of Professor
John Hamilton, the State lost a citi-
zen of mark, and agricuiture one of
its staunchest promoters.
“Bern February 19th, 1843, on a
farm in Juniata county, Professor
Hamilton was sprung from that
staunch Scotch-Irish stock who drove
westward the frontiers of the province
during the decades of the Eighteenth
century. Having as a lad become a
member of the Juniata cavalry, a mili-
tia organization, in 1861, at the age of
eighteen, at the call of the President,
he joined the First Pennsylvania re-
serve cavalry as a private, and during
the four long years of service rose to
ganization. Several years later he
entered as a student of agriculture at
The Pennsylvania State College, and
was graduated in 1871. His military
experience had earlier led to his ap-
pointment as commandant of cadets
in 1869, a post he retained for four
years. :
“Immediately upon his graduation
he was made professor of agriculture
at Penn State and so remained for
nine years. He was also superintend-
ent of the college farms for part of
that time. His business qualifications,
however, led to his appointment as
business manager and treasurer of the
College in 1874, and in the former of
these capacities he served for twelve
years, with great benefit to the insti-
tution because of his clean-cut, sys-
tematic methods. As treasurer he
bore a very large share of the finan-
cial burdens of the weakly supported
State institution until his retirement
in 1911, a period of thirty-seven years.
Only those who know something of
the struggles of the College in its ear-
lier days appreciate how much of its
maintenance and steady growth de-
pended upon the staunch integrity and
repute for - fidelity which Professor
| Hamilton ‘gained during these long
years of service.
“A second period in his life work
was related to the State Department
cf Agriculture. In 1895 he was ap-
pointed Deputy Secretary of Agricul-
ture of Pennsylvania, and in that re-
lation crganized the work of the far-
mers’ institute service. In his thor-
ough-going way he centralized the
management and strengthened the
teaching force with a resulting contin-
uous growth in public interest in
tis work. In 1899 he was appointed
0 the secretaryship of the agricultur-
zal department of the State and
brought to it his characteristic ad-
ministrative strength.
“Among his achievements in
this position were a very marked
development of the investigation-
al and educational work of the
department; the improvement of
the fertilizer law and its ad-
ministration; the enactment of a thor-
cugh-going cleomargerine act and the
securing promptly of decisions affirm-
ing its constitutionality; the improve-
ment of the renovated butter act; the
enactment of a commercial cattle
feeds control law, and a pure linseed
¢il law and the organization of the
controls over the sales of these com-
modities; also improvements in the
legislation of the State bearing upon
the control of contagious diseases of
domestic animals.
“But Professor Hamilton’s visicn
was broad enough to include all that
pertains to the betterment of rural
conditions. Good roads and their val-
uously, and it is doubtful whether the
present good roads
State could have been established so
early had it not been for the educa-
tional work which Professor Hamilton
did for its creation. Improved rural
schools also were objects of his strong
desire. During his administration the
township high school law was enact-
ed with his strong advocacy.
“The excellence of the Pennsylva-
nia farmers’ institute system having
become well known in other States,
Professor Hamilton was sought by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture to become its specialist upon
that branch of ‘agricultural effort,
and, in 1903, at the conclusion of his
term as Secretary. of Agriculture, he
accepted an appointment to that duty
in Washington. . For eight years he
traveled the nation over, promoting
this line of endeavor, giving instruc-
tion in its methods and lending his
skilled experience to its development.
“Penn State awarded him the hon-
orary degree of Master of Science at
the recent commencement exercises,
which marked the fiftieth anniversary
of his graduation.
“Professor Hamilton was not a man
of vigorous frame, but by courage,
regular habits and persistent endeav-
or he accomplished the good works of
a full life. Those thousands of his
fellow Pennsylvanians who heard him
upon the institute platform as he was
advocating the improvements he had
espoused, will remember that tall,
slender form, quick with the earnest-
ness of his purpose, his vibrant voice,
keen face and piercing eye. Full of in-
‘itiative, broad in his ideas, filled with
trust, former State Secretary of Ag-
riculture and prominent as a farmers’
had been actively associated with :
the rank of sergeant-major in the or- |
ues to the farmer, he preached contin-
system of the’
the courage of his convictions, his mo-
tives were straight forward, his fight-
"ings were by frontal attacks and his
persistence mest admirable. Withal,
: his integrity was such that, however
others might differ with him in judg-
ment, none could question the lofti-
ness of his ideals nor believe that in
‘the field of public service, selfish mo-
tives could sway him. The farmers of
the State should cherish his memory
as ore who gave to them and their
betterment, a life-long, loyal service.”
Prof. Hamilton was a member of 2
large family of children and two
brothers and five sisters survive him.
His wife was a daughter of the late
Mr. and Mrs. Moses Thompson, and
she passed away in 1915, leaving one
daughter, Mrs. J. W. Henzsey, of Col-
lege township. He was a member of
the Presbyterian church from boy-
hood, a ruling elder and for many
years a teacher in the Sunday schocl.
He was president of the Centre coun-
ty Veteran club, a member of the Phi
Kappa Phi and Honorary Scholastic
fraternity at Penn State.

LONG.—John D. Long, one of the
i oldest and best known residents of
Spring Mills, passed away at his home
in that place on Sunday, following a
' general breakdown in health.
{ He was a son of George ard Mary
. Deck Long and was born at Stouchs-
burg, Berks county, on February 12th,
1837, making his age 84 years, 4
months and 28 days. He came to Cen-
tre county in 1856 and learned the car-
penter’s trade at Spring Mills, re-
“maining there until March, 1861,
“when he went to Fort Wayne, Ind.
. When the war broke out he enlisted
in Company C, 15th Ind., V. I. In De-
| cember, 1862; he was badly wounded
‘in the left leg by a shell at the battle
of Stone River, and after spending
several months in government hos-
pitals was discharged in Feburary,
1863. Some months later he went to
Petersburg, Huntingdon county, where
he learned the saddler’s trade and in
1866 he returned to Centre county and
located in Gregg township. He final-
ly moved to Spring Mills and engag-
ed in the mercantile business which
today is carried cn under the firm
name of C. P. Long-& Co. He served
as postmaster at Spring Mills during
| President Harrison’s first administra-
tion and was reappointed in 1897,
serving two terms.
In 1865 he was married to Mary A.
Leitzell and they had six children,
Charles P., George H., Philip P., Su-
san E., Ida M., and Frank A. Funeral
services were held at his late home at
three o’clock on Wednesday afternoon
by Rev. J. Max Kirkpatrick, of the
Presbyterian church, after which bur-
ial was made in the cemetery at that
place.

GEORGE M. DIMELING.
DIMELING.—Centre county friends
of ex-Senator George M. Dimeling, of
Clearfield, deeply regret his passing
away at his Home in that place on the
afternoon of July 5th. While it was
known that he was suffering with
acute kidney affection, word received
from there a few days previous was
that he was improving. But a sudden
turn for the worse proved more than
he could withstand and the end came
quite suddenly.
He was a son of George and Cathe-
rine Dugan Dimeling and was born in
Clearfield county on September 12th,
1862, hence was in his fifty-ninth year.
As a young man he embarked in the
lumbering business in his native coun-
ty, which at that time was on the
boom, and proved quite successful in
all his undertakings. He was the or-
ganizer and principal stockholder in
the firm of Dimeling & Co., and also
largely interested in the Vinton Lum-
ber Co., of which he was the superin-
tendent.
Notwithstanding his various busi-
ness interests he took an active part
in all public affairs of his town and
also became a leading figure in Demo-
cratic politics. In 1893 he was elect-
ed treasurer of Clearfield county and
served several terms as county chair-
man in Clearfield county. He proved
a master hand at organizing his party
and the result led to his nomination
for State Senator in 1906 in the Cen-
tre and Clearfield county district. He
was elected by a good majority over
Centre county’s present judge, Hon.
Henry C. Quigley. His career in the
upper branch of the Pennsylvania
Legislature was so honorable and rep-
resentative of his district that four
years later he was tendered a renom-
ination but declined and retired: on
honors fairly won. Subsequently he
served two terms as chairman of the
Democratic State. committee - and
proved®n able léader for the follow-
ers of true Democracy.
In a business way Senator Dimeling
was the soul of honor and integrity,
while his geniality and thoughtfulness
for others made him a most compan-
ionable gentleman socially.
He is survived by his wife and
three children, Mrs. Howard Stewart,
Miss Dorothy and George M. Jr. One
brother and two sisters also survive.
Burial was made in Hillerest ceme-
tery, Clearfield, last Friday morning.

PUGH.—On the evening of July
7th there passed from this life into
the realms of the Great Beyond, Mrs.
Rebecca Valentine Pugh, eldest
daughter of Abram S. Valentine Sr.,
and Clarissa Miles Valentine, both de-
ceased. Born February 12th, 1832,
she had lived a beautiful and useful
christian life of 89 years. In early
life she was noted for a beauty of fea-
ture and brilliancy of mind that at-
tracted men of prominence and edu-
cation.
On February 4th, 1864, she married
Di. Evan Pugh, Ph. D,, F. C. S., the
first president of Pennsylvania State
College, a noted scientist with wide
experience in the great institutions of
learning in England, Germany and
America. Robbed of a mother in her
early girlhood, in 1857, she at once
stepped into the management of the
home at Willowbank, embracing then
a large family. Faithfully and lov-
ingly performing the duties thus cast
upon her, but finding time for the ex-
tension of a sympathetic and benevo-
lent nature far beyond the confines of
her immediate household.
The care and attention consequent
upon her growing years and declining
strength were faithfully and lovingly
extended to her by her younger sis-
ter, Mary B. Valentine, and her
brother, Harry C. Valentine, the only
living members of a once large fami-
ly whose personalities are probably
remembered by some of the older res-
idents of the town and county, all hav-
ing been prominently identified with
the iron industries of the county.’
The president’s house at State Col-
lege was built, anticipating the resi-
dence there of Dr. Pugh and his bride,
unfortunately never to be occupied by
them, owing to the untimely death of
Dr. Pugh after a short honeymoon of
only three months.
The funeral services were conducted
on Sunday at 4:30 p. m., at her late
home on west Curtin street, by the
Rev. Malcolm DePue Maynard, of the
Episcopal church, and she was laid to
rest by ‘the side.of her husband-in:the
x “ i :
Union cemetery. :

LOVE.-—~Mrs. Beulah Bryan Love,
wife of John Logan Love, died in Al-
toona on July 2nd following an illness
of several’ months, aged twenty-one
years. Her husband, parents and two
sisters survive. Burial was made in
Altoona on Tuesday afternoon.
> WOODWARD. — William Packer
3
Woodward passed away at his home at
Howard on Wednesday morring fol-
ilowing a protracted illness. While
working at Pittsfield, Mass., some six
years ago he suffered a nervous break-
down and was compelled to relinquish
his position. He returned to Howard
but never recovered his health.
He was the eldest son of Hon. John
A. and Annie Packer Woodward and
was born at Howard forty-nine years
ago. When quite young he eatered
The Pennsylvania State College but
never completed his course, leaving
there to accept a position with the
Westinghouse company, at Pitts-
burgh. After working there a few
years he went to Pittsfield, Mass.
with the General Electric company.
He is survived by his wife, who prior
to her marriage was Miss Marjorie
Castle, of New Castle; his father, one
brother, Charles, of Philadelphia, and
a sister, Miss Harriett, at home.
The funeral will be held at two
o'clock this (Friday) afternoon, bur-
ial to be made in the Schenck ceme-
tery.
TOTSCCK.—Thomas Totsock, a
well known. resident. of Bellefonte,
died at his home on Curtin street on
July 2nd following a lingering illness
with carcimora of the stomach. He
was a son of Peter and Maria Kuba
Totsock and was born in Austria Hun-
gary on October 17th, 1862, making
his age 58 years, 8 months and 18
days. He came to this country thir-
ty-seven years ago and took up gar-
dening as an occupation. He came to
Bellefonte about thirty years ago and
worked for the late Thomas A. Shoe-
maker until his death.
He was married to Miss Julia Kope-
sak who survives with the following
children: Mrs. Lewis Cabasino, of
Long Island; Mrs. Earl Dunning, of
Haddon Heights, N. J.; Mrs. James
" Black, of Bethlehem, and Thomas Jr.,
at home. Funeral services were held
in the Catholic church on the morning
of July 5th by Rev. Father Downes,
after which burial was made in the
Catholic cemetery.
Chautauqua.
Just three weeks and Chautauqua
will be in Bellefonte, the big tent up,
the splendid tenth anniversary pro-
gram in full swing. Wednesday, Aug-
ust 3rd, is the day of opening. In
1912 there were forty-one towns on
the Swarthmore Chautauqua circuit;
today there are 776 towns, of which
our own Bellefonte is of course one.
There are in these towns, 21,747 pub-
lic spirited citizens who underwrite
Chautauqua as guarantors. The first
meeting of the Bellefonte guarantors
for this season will be held in Petrikin
hall, Monday, July 18th, at 8 p. m. At
this time the advance representative
of the association will be present to
put the final touches to the organiza-
tion which will carr
the most successful
history. All guaranti
be present at this ifiportant meeting
next Monday evening. -The sale of
season tickets will start shortly after-
wards.
An action has been started to
determine the ownership of the old
steam heat and gas plant on Lamb
street. The buldings have become so
dilapidated that they are a menace to
human life, especially to children, and
their close proximity to the public
school grounds render them especially
dangerous. An effort will probably
be made to have the entire plant legal-
ly declared a nuisance and then it will
be up to the owners, if it can be found
out who they are, to either repair the
- plant or remove it. If the plant is
removed the location would make an
admirable community play ground for
children, and there are a number of
prominent men in Bellefonte who are
agitating a movement in this direc-
tion. On the other hand, it would also
be a splendid location for a number
of houses, and the erection of neat
houses on that square would greatly
improve the appearance of that sec-
tion of the town.
Passenger Service Reduced.
Effective Monday, July 18th, 1921,
and until further notice, the Bellefonte
Central R. R. Co. will reduce their
passenger train service between Belle-
fonte and State College to a service on
three days of the week: Monday,
Wednesday and Friday.

Bellefonte certainly had a safe
and sane Fourth this year. In fact
the town was so quiet and the weather
so hot that there was no inclination
on the part of any one to start any-
thing riotous. In the evening resi-
dents of east Linn and Curtin streets
had a celebration out in that section
of the town which ‘included boys’
sports, music by he I. ‘0. O. F. band
and fireworks.

© Goss—Adams.—A ‘very pretty wed-
ding took place at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Dorie Adams, at Port Ma-
tilda, on July 2nd, when their daugh-
ter, Miss Laura M. Adams, became
the bride of Alvah C. Goss. The cer-
emony, which took place at 11:30
o’clock, was performed by Rev. H. A.

bride, who was gowned in white satin,
was attended by her sister, Miss Vir-
ginia Adams, who wore a dress of
white georgette. The best man was
Clark A. Goss. A unique feature was
the presentation to the bride at the
altar of a large and beautiful bouquet
by her uncle, Wilson Frantz. Follow-
ing the ceremony and congratulations
a sumptuous wedding breakfast was
served to all present. The same even-
ing a crowd of one hundred or more
calithumpians serenaded the young
