The one good, reliable, depend-
able place of amusement in Bellefonte
is the Scenic. It is open every even-
ing in the week with matinees Wed-
nesdays and Saturdays. And the pub-
lic is ‘always sure to find something
there worth seeing. Every program
is new and up-to-date. No repeats
are shown at the Scenic. Regular pa-
trons see all the good ones. Are you
a regular?
If you were unfortunate in not
being able to get a seat for last night’s
performance of the American Legion
minstrels don’t fail to see them this
evening. They are well worth the

and drew rounds of applause. The
house was crowded last night and
from the appearance of the chart
seats will be ‘at a premium this even-
ing.
Mr. Charles Gilmour this week
presented both the Logan and Undine
fire companies with one hundred
choice cigars as testimonial of his ap-
preciation of their good work on the
occasion of the recent fire at his home

ers which enabled them to distinguish
themselves with such a good job of
extinguishing. fe

Ceasar is one of his favorites, while
another is the dialect stories of Law-
rence Dunbar. Mr. Hughes enjoys
this diversion from his regular work
at the Academy and gives these read-
ings without any thought of remuner-
ation. The fact that they are appre-
ciated is very gratifying to him.

If you want a good laugh this is the
show to see.

cents for adults and thirty-five for
children.
Bellefonte borough council officially |
accepted the two White triple pump-
ers at a regular meeting on Monday
evening but deadlocked on the selec-
tion of a chief fire marshal to control
the department. :
Every member was present at the
meeting. A written communication
| was received from tax collector J.
Kennedy Johnston requesting the Fi-
nance committee to take action on the
exonerations requested before the au-
dit for the year 1921 is closed.
The Street committee presented the
report of the borough manager which
dealt principally with the removal of
snow from the streets and opening
frozen up sewers. :
The Water committee reported the
collection of $312.52 on the 1920 wa-
ter duplicate and also $16.00 for clear-
ing a frozen up meter for T. C. Brown.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported two fires since the last meeting
of council and also commended the
good work done by both companies
with their new pumpers.
The Finance committee presented
the report of the borough treasurer
which showed a balance on hand on
February first of $21,579.28. The
committee also asked for the renewal
of a note for $2,000 for six months,
which was authorized.
Mr. Fauble, of the Finance commit-
tee, presented the list of exonerations
requested by the tax collector, cover-
ing the years 1915 to 1921, inclusive,
and amounting to approximately $2,-
500. He explained that practically all
the exonerations requested were for
errors, double assessments, people who
are dead or have moved away, and
council authorized the exonerations.
President Walker appointed A. M.
Barr, of Tyrone, as an auditor for the
Pruner orphanage accounts and the
appointment was approved by coun-
cil.
On motion of Mr. Fauble N. B.
Spangler was elected borough solicit-
or for the ensuing two years.
it was at this stage of the proceed-
ings that the question of the selection
of a chief iire marshal was taken up.
At the last meeting of council Robert
Kline and J. D. Seibert had been nom-
inated for the position and there be-
ing no other nominees the question of
which of the two would be able to give
the position the most attention was
discussed. The personality of the two
men did not enter into the discussion,
the main question being their ability
to be on hand at any time, day or
night. On roll call Bradley, Emerick,
Flack and Hazel voted for Kline, and
Brouse, Cunningham, Fauble and
Waite for Seibert. President Walker
declined to exercise his right to cast
the deciding vote and on motion of
Mr. Cunningham the election was con-
tinued until the next meeting of coun- :
cil, the president requesting the Fire
and Police committee to try and get
together on one man.
Mr, Flack, of the Fire and Police
committee, offered a motion that the
new pumpers be officially accepted by
council and payment made according
to contract. After a brief discussion
the motion passed and the secretary
was authorized to complete the deal.
Mr. Emerick inquired as to the con-
dition of the borough lockup, as com-
plaint had been made to him about
sending stranded wayfarers to the
borough home for a night’s lodging.
Mr. Fauble suggested making ar-
rangements with the county commis-
sioners and the sheriff for the use of
a cell in the jail as a place where the
borough could entertain its uninvited
guests, and the matter was referred
to the Fire and Police committee for
investigation and report.
Mr. Waite inquired if something
couldn’t be done to increase the effi-
ciency of the fire alarm, as it is im-
possible to hear it in most portions of
the West ward. Mr. Scibert explain-
ed that the alarm had been frozen up
during the heavy snow and cold
weather but is now in service again.
Other members suggested the instal-
lation of the old steam fire whistle on
some plant that always carries a suf-
ficient head of steam, and the match
factory seems to be the only plant of
the kind in Bellefonte at present. The
matter was finally referred to the Fire
and Police committee to see what can
be done.
Bills to the amount of $1987.00
were approved and council adjourned.
Road Supervisors Elect Officers.
A fair attendance of road supervis-
ors was present at their annual con-
vention held in the court house on

Community Meetings for Farmers.
The State Department of Agricul-
ture has discontinued the farmers’ in-
stitutes which were so popular in
Centre and many other counties of
the State. Some of the farmers near
Spring Mills were much disappointed
as a result of this action. In oder to
replace the farmers’ institutes the
Centre county Farm Bureau and the
Spring Mills vocational school have
co-operated in arranging for a series
of ‘six meetings at which interesting
farm subjects will be discussed. These
meetings will be held at the vocation-
al school and with few exceptions on
Wednesday evenings at 7:30 o’clock,
The speaker will discuss the subject
generally but greater interest will be
derived from the following discus-
sions and questions, so every one
should go prepared to ask questions
concerning the subjects for discussion.
The first meeting was held on Wed-
nesday evening, February 8th, at
which time C. F. Noll discussed farm
crops, varieties and cultural methods.
The other meetings will be as follows:
February 15, Lime and Fertilizers,
J. B. R. Dickey.

License Fee.
Farmers Pay Extra
Several weeks ago the “Watchman”
published a digest of a ruling receiv-
ed from the State Highway Depart-
ment. by justice of the peace S. Kline
Woodring, of Bellefonte, in which it
was stated that farmers and others
who used passenger cars for hauling
truck to market would be required to
pay the additional five dollars requiz-
ed of cars used for commercial pur-
poses. But now it appears that the
Department has reversed itself, ac-
cording to a statement sent out from
Harrisburg on Saturday which says:
Farmers who use their flivvers to
haul truck to market don’t have to
pay a commercial vehicle license fee.
Acting State Highway Commissioner
Biles announced today. This conten-
tion was the basis for a new ruling
issued this week by the Highway De-
partment to clarify a misunderstand-
ing concerning the motor vehicle laws.
Through the misunderstanding far-
mers in a number of sections of the
State were led to believe that when
they used their passenger car to haul
truck to market once or twice a week
it was classed as a commercial vehi-
cle. On the smallest type passenger
cars this meant an additional license
fee of $5, making the minimum $15
instead of $10. Many farmers pro-
tested to the Highway Department.
Under the Highway Department
ruling passenger cars “used only at
intervals for carrying goods, wares or
merchandise” do not come within the
scope of the commercial truck class.
The above seems perfectly clear
and understandable, but how about
those farmers who have already paid
the additional fee in the belief that
they were liable according to former
rulings of the Department. Will
they have their money refunded?

If any other communities in the
ication of the new pipe organ in St.
' John’s Lutheran church. The splen-
did instrument, costing $2,350, has
“been paid for in full and stands as a
memorial to the energy, the enthusi-
asm, and the generosity of the entire
| congregation.
| The organ was built by M. P. Mol-
ler, Hagerstown, Maryland, whose
factory is the largest in the world,
devoted exclusively to the building of
pipe organs. He has furnished instru-
“ments for 3,300 churches and institu-
‘tions. The one in the local Lutheran
church was built especially to suit in-
| dividual conditions, and the instru-
' ment combines plenty of volume and
unusually wide tonal variety, with
every musical voice requisite for the
i Lutheran church liturgy.
| The action is tubular-pneumatic,
after the patented duplex principle
! developed at the Moller factory, guar-
anteeing immediate response and per-
fect reliability, while the console is
equipped with every accessory for coxn-
venience in playing known in modern
; organ building.
s+ While the instrument is a model of
the organ builder’s art mechanically,
its greater charm lies in the voicing
of the pipes, to which special atten-
| tion was given. The characteristic
tone of each instrument represented
by the different stops has been devel-
oped to an unusually high degree, and
yet so carefully tone-regulated that
| when playing full organ the result is
| one volume of pure organ tone, no
| single stop predominating.
The Lutheran church is especially
fortunate in having such a talented
| organist as it has secured in the per-
son of George A. Johnston, of War-
ren, a Lutheran student at the Belle-
fonte Academy. The young man is a
musical genius and his work on the
organ is that of an artist.
The following programs for morn-
ing. and evening show that in addi-
tion to organ numbers by Mr. John-
ston, the leading singers of Bellefonte
will appear in special vocal selections,
and Dr. Bauslin, in the evening, will
deliver one of his characteristic elo-
quent addresses.

Old-Fashioned Revival in Progress at
Bellefonte Methodist Church.
The days of revivals of religion are
not past. Though wickedness and
evil abound on every hand, the gospel
still makes its appeal to human
hearts. The revival at the Methodist
church, now in its second week, is of
the real, old-fashioned kind. The
plain gospel of sin, repentance, salva-
tion and Tight living is preached and
sung. Under the direction of Mr.
‘Hartzell everybody must sing, while
special musical numbevs add to the
interest of each service. Four young
men were converted during the first
week. : 2
- Sunday night the service was most
unusual; the large auditorium was
well filled and during the song service,
which precedes the sermon, a man
from the rear of the room hurried
down the aisle and knelt weeping at
the altar. A few minutes later, while
Mr. Hartzell was singing a solo, a
young lady, in deep conviction, left
her pew and knelt at the altar. The
sermon was dispensed with and soon
there were six penitents. There was
no excitement, just intense conviction
and earnest prayer.
SUNDAY SCHOOL NIGHT.
Friday night of this week will be
Sunday school night; this service, to
which the public is cordially invited,
is specially intended for the teen age
and junior departments of the Sunday
school and each teacher is requested
to sit with his or her class. Every
class is urged to have one hundred
per cent. attendance.
MEETING FOR MEN AND BOYS.
In addition to the regular services
on Sunday there will be a special serv-
ice for men and boys at 2:30. The
male quartette will sing and an ap-
propriate address will be made. Tues-
day, February 14th, will be “Ladies
Aid” night. The society now has more
than one hundred members and every
member is urged to be present.
short business meeting of the society
will be held at the close of the revi-
val service.

It may be out of season but
fishing in Spring creek yesterday
afternoon was very good. A short
time before the “Watchman” went to
press the writer's attention was at-
tracted to a young man out in the
middle of the creek opposite this of-
fice. He had neither rod nor line but
was diligently poking away at some-
thing on the bed of the creek with a
stick. He worked the object nearer
| and nearer the shore to get it in shal-
| low water, but his actions began to at-
‘tract a crowd and finally he stuck one
arm under the icy water and pulled
out—not a fish, but a quart bottle of
what looked very much like wine. The
seal on the bottle had not been brok-
an and hugging his prize (?) beneath
his arm the young man made his way
down the creek. Just what kind of
drink was in the bottle or where it
came from we are unable to say, but
the young man in question must have
wanted it pretty badly to wade into
Spring creek on such a day as yester-
day.

-——Philipsburg people are some-
what excited over the report that a
panther or some other wild animal
has taken up its abode in the woods
near Cold Stream dam and makes the
nights hideous with its blood-curdling
cries. Why don’t somebody try to
trace it back to the wreck of the Main
show on the mountain almost thirty
years ago?
—John Richards was painfully
injured on the face and head on Mon-
day when drayman Cyrus Solt’s horse
ran away, throwing him out of the
wagon onto the brick paving on south
Water street. He was taken to the
Bellefonte hospital for treatment.
Word was received in Belle-
fonte recently of the birth of a daugh-
ter to Mr. and Mrs. William Ford, of
El Paso, Texas, who has been christ-
ened Margaret. Mrs. Ford before her
marriage was Miss Ella Beezer.
Some twenty members of
the Bellefonte Lodge of Odd Fellows
journeyed to State College on Monday
evening in a big motor bus to pay a
fraternal visit to the lodge at that
place.
