——The Catholic Daughters of
America will hold a dance at the ar-
mory Friday evening, February 24th,
at nine o’clock. Music by the Acade-
my orchestra. Everybody welcome.
——From September 1st, 1921,
the date the one cent a gallon gaso-
line tax went into effect, to Jaunary
1st, 1922, Centre county dealers paid
to the State tax amounting to $6,064.-
52. Half of this amount, or $3,032.-
29, will, under the law, be returned to
this county.
——The Woman’s Foreign Mission-
ary society of the
church of Bellefonte, will hold their
annual praise service on Friday after-
noon, February 17th, at three o’clock.
Mrs. Mary W. Newlin, president of |
the Huntingdon Presbyterial society,
will speak at this meeting.
——Mrs. Hiram Fetterhoff is ar-
ranging for the sale of the greater
part of her house furnishings, in an-
ticipation of going to Pleasont Gap to
make her home with her sister, Mrs.
Rachel Noll. Drs. Fetterhoff will
leave the Mingle house on Bishop
street, which she has occupied for over
thirty years, just as soon as it is pos-
sible for her to get away.
——James C. Waddle, for many
years a conductor on the Bald Eagle
Valley railroad but who has been re-
tired almost a score of years, cele-
brated his eighty-eighth birthday an-
niversary at his home in Lock Haven
last Saturday. The veteran railroad-
er ‘is still in the best of health and
his many friends hope he may live to
celebrate many more anniversaries.
——7Under the teachers’ salary act of
1919 Centre county’s share of the ap-
propriation was $70,870, while under
the act of 1921 the apportionment
gives this county $136,062, supposed
to be fifty per cent. of the minimum
salary paid teachers in each school
district. The only question that is
worrying the directors so far is the
slowness of the State in paying over
the money.
- ——From all indications represen-
tative Democrats—men and women—
from all over Centre county will at-
tend the get-together banquet to be
held at the Brockerhoff house, Belle-
fonte, next Tuesday evening. In ad-
dition to the eats the attractions will
include music by the Odd Fellows
orchestra, of Bellefonte, and the pres-
ence of Mrs. Allen, of Williamsport,
as one of the speakers.
Thunder and lightning accem-
panied Sunday evening’s rain and
sleet storm. Neither the thunder nor
the lightning were prolonged for any
length of time but both were pro-
nounced enough to be observed by a
number of people in Bellefonte. Old
wiseacres would probably aver that
such a phenomenon meant a change
in weather, and it surely did, because
by Monday morning real winter
weather prevailed again.
If you are a movie fan, and
many people are, move right up to the
Scenic every evening in the week and
see the screen offerings portrayed
there. By reading the program pub-
lished in this paper you will be able
to pick out your favorites. Manager
T. Clayton Brown makes it a point to
give the best pictures obtainable and
nothing that is really good is turned
down. An evening at the Scenic
means several hours of entertainment
and amusement.
——The Seven Stars theatre at
Philipsburg was robbed on the night
of January 30th and last Friday the
police arrested Charles Hemmis, Wil-
liam Cartright and William Rupe, all
of whom admitted their guilt and
were held in $1,000 bail for trial at
eourt. Walter J. Rolley, who is sus-
pected of having some connection with
planning the robbery, was also ar-
rested and held in $500 bail for trial.
The three first mentioned were unable
to secure bail and were brought to
jail on Saturday.
———William H. Kibble’s production
of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” will be the
attraction at the opera house next
Monday evening, February 20th. A
special school children’s matinee will
pe: given at 4 p. m., with admission
prices of 17 cents for children and 28
gents for adults. The evening ad-
mission will be 55 and 83 cents for the
first floor and 28 and 39 cents for the
balomy. The Kibble company has
®cen commended by the press wher-
ever it has appeared this year and if
you want to see Uncle Tom and Little
Eva go to the opera house next Mon-
day evening.
———The teachers in the public
schools of Bellefonte are now taking
a course in individual intelligence
measurements under the instruction of
Prof. Rhotan, who is in charge of the
aducational measurement department
in. the school of education at State
College. He comes to Bellefonte
every Thursday evening and gives an
tour's instruction. The purpose of
the course is to enable the teachers to
measure the intelligence of the pupils
in their charge and in this way give
them the studies they can absorb with-
out overloading their mental capacity
and’ at the same time advance the pu-
pil who is able to make rapid prog-
esa.

' One was the consolidation of the board
‘with the Associated Business Men of
| Bellefonte for the purpose of forming
' a better working organization for the
. best interests of the town. It is a
well known fact that a town the size
of Bellefonte is not large enough for
| two organizations, the common object
of each being identical. It was even
suggested as a good idea the combin-
| ing of the two organizations and the
| employment of a secretary who could
| devote his entire time to the work.
| To this end a committee was appoint-
| ed to lay the matter before the Asso-
ciated Business Men and if they are
favorable formulate plans for consol-
idation.
Another question discussed was
that of inducing the Champion Motors
Corporation, of Philadelphia, to locate
in Bellefonte. This company, of which
Henry Crothers is president, is seek-
ing a location in the central part of
i the State for its plant. It is not a
manufacturing concern but entirely an
assembling plant. It uses the Liberty
motor, which is manufactured in Wil-
liamsport, and puts out the New
Champion Special car which sells for
$1095. Members of the Board of
Trade have been in communication
with the company, and have even in-
vestigated their standing, and are
very favorably impressed. The old
Titan Metal company plant at Miles-
burg has been considered as a most
suitable place for the location of the
company, should Bellefonte succeed in
securing it, and Mr. Cothers, has writ-
ten that it has ample floor space and
from description would appear to be
admirably located.
While the exact terms on which the
plant could be secured have not been
made public it is understood that only
a nominal request has been made. In
pursuance of meeting this request
Bellefonte would be given representa-
tion in the active management of the
company. The entire proposition will
be gone into further with the possi-
bility of favorable developments in the
near future.
Officers elected by the Board are
Capt. W. Frederick Reynolds Jr.,
president; Charles R. Beatty, vice
president; W. T. Kelly, secretary, and
Charles M. McCurdy, treasurer.
Charles Baney Skips with “Change”
He Got at Bank.
fonte, is endeavoring to learn the
whereabouts of Charles Baney, of
Bellefonte, who left town quite sud-
denly last Friday after getting change
for a twenty dollar bill given him to
get changed by R. Russell Blair. Ba-
ney during the winter has washed the
windows and done other odd jobs
around Blair’s jewelry store. Recent-
ly he conceived the idea of buying a
horse and embarking in the draying
business. Isaac Baney, who lives
south of Bellefonte on a farm, agreed
to sell him a horse for five dollars but
Charlie only had two bucks.
Accordingly he went to Russell
Blair and requested an advance of
three dollars so he could purchase the
horse, promising to work for the loan
whenever there was anything to do.
Mr. Blair did not have the change so
gave Baney a twenty dollar bill and
told him to go to the bank and get it
changed. He went to the Bellefonte
Trust company and got the change
but did not return to the store. In-
stead he paid five dollars over to
Isaac Baney for the horse then left
town.
Naturally when he failed to return
to the store Mr. Blair started out to
hunt him up, but failed to find any
trace of him. But he did find Isaac
Baney and when the latter was told of
the incident he turned over the five
dollars and took his horse back. Fail-
ing to locate young Baney a warrant
was sworn out for his arrest by Mr.
Blair and the same placed in the
hands of the sheriff. Baney was seen
in Lock Haven on Friday night or
Saturday morning headed for Buffalo,
N.Y

——Grandmother Elizabeth Bilger,
widow of Jonathan Bilger, of Pleasant
Gap, celebrated her ninety-first birth-
day anniversary last Saturday and
her children and various descendants
made it an occasion of some note by
gathering at her home and giving a
party in her honor. Fifty people were
present from Pleasant Gap, Belle-
fonte, Milesburg, Zion, Philipsburg
and Trafford City. Mrs. Bilger is
the mother of twelve children, eleven
of whom are living and of this num-
ber six were present. Four of the
children live in the west. During the
evening the guests amused themselves
in various ways. There were six ta-
bles of five hundred and various other
diversions. At eleven o’clock all the
guests were invited to the dining
room where a large table was crowd-
ed to capacity with about everything
good to eat that the season affords.
There were big cakes and little cakes,
ice cream, coffee, candies, ete. It was
after midnight when the party broke
up and the guests departed for their
respective homes. Mrs. Bilger, by
the way, is still enjoying remarkable
health, notwithstanding the fact that
she is now past ninety-one years of
age.

——Basket ball fans of Bellefonte
and vicinity will have a treat in store
for them Wednesday evening, Febru-
ary 22nd, when the two great rivals,
the undefeated State Freshmen and
the Academy boys will meet in the ar-
mory at 8:30 o’clock. The Freshmen,
coached by Glenn Killinger, of foot-
ball fame, have won every game to
date. Their important victories were
over the Kiski team, the Pitt Fresh-
men and the University of West Vir-
ginia during a recent three days trip.
A few weeks ago the Academy lost to
them on State’s floor by the close
score of 21 to 26. This is the only
game the Academy has lost and the
“prep” boys are out for revenge next
Wednesday evening. It will mean a
great deal to the Academy to defeat
the Freshmen, as it will place them at
the head of the prep school teams of
the State. So don’t miss this game,
as it should be a thriller.
“Biz-Biz” Next Tuesday Night.
Rehearsals for “Biz-Biz,” a musical
comedy to be given Tuesday, Febru-
ary 21st, at the opera house by the
Bellefonte High school glee club, are
well under way and point toward a
decided success. This bids fair to be
one of the best plays ever produced
by the High school students. The
play is being coached by Mrs. Krader,
who is supervisor of the musical de-
partment. A special matinee at 3:15
will be given for children under four-
teen years of age. Admission, 15 and
20 cents. Evening prices, 50 and 75
cents.
Report of the Red Cross Nurse for

Miss Mary Royer, Bellefonte, for the
month of January was:
Nursing visits - - - - 21
Visits to schools - - - br 4
Attendance at clinics - - 4
Other visits - - - - 15

ship and Bellefonte. She was in at-

Butterfly Hatched in Mid Winter.
Last December when the teachers
and students at the White Hall
school, in Ferguson township, deco-
rated the school room for the holiday
exercises they took in a branch of
evergreen to which was attached a co-
coon. When the decorations were re-
moved after the holidays the branch
with the cocoon on was cut off and
kept in the room. One morning last
week when the teacher opened the
school room she was amazed to see a
beautiful butterfly flying about the
room. An investigation showed that
the cocoon had been hatched out dur-
ing the night. The warm temperature
of the room was probably responsible
for the early hatching.
Port Matilda Man Seriously Burned
in Gasoline Fire.
C. C. Snyder, who conducts a ga-
rage at Port Matilda, was seriously
burned in a gasoline fire on Tuesday
morning. It will be recalled that it
was quite cold on Tuesday morning
and when Mr. Snyder went to his
garage and built a fire he undertook
to hurry it along with a little gasoline.
The fumes caught fire which commu-
nicated to the gasoline can and in
the twinkling of an eye Mr. Snyder
was enveloped in flames. He ran
from the garage and persons nearby
ran to his rescue and with old sacks
and coats managed to smother the
flames but not until Snyder was so
badly burned on his hands and por-
tions of his body that the skin and
particles of flesh peeled off. While
it is not believed he is fatally burned
he will likely be housed up for some
time.

FOR THE NEAR EAST RELIEF.
Two Prominent Speakers will Address
Meeting in Court House To-
morrow Evening.
The campaign contributions for the
Near East Relief will be opened in
Bellefonte tomorrow evening with a
public meeting in the court house.
persons of Dr. Talcott Williams and
Lieut. Frank Connes, will be present
tinuing the relief work another year.
Both men will also speak in the au-
ditorium at State College on Sunday
afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. The people
of Bellefonte and State College are
urged to turn out and hear these gen-
tlemen, as both are thoroughly con-
versant with the situation in the Near
East. The meeting in Bellefonte to-
morrow evening will be held at 8
o’clock.
Dr. Talcott Williams was born at
Abeih, Turkey, and spent the early
years of his life in this country. He
came to the United States and receiv-
ed his education at Amherst College,
receiving the degree of Master of
Arts. Later he was honored with
many degrees by numerous American
colleges. Dr. Williams took up jour-
nalism as a profession and has been
associated with the New York World,
New York Sun, San Francisco Chron-
icle, Springfield (Mass.) Republiean,
and now is professor emeritus of
journalism at Columbia University.
Dr. Williams has a world wide repu-
tation as an author and his knowledge
of the Near East has made his latest
book, “Turkey,” an authority on this
question. Dr. Williams is a member
of many prominent organizations, a
few of which are American Philosoph-
ical Society; American Oriental Soci-
ety; American Academy Political and
Social Science; Honorary Member
Pennsylvania State Bar Association;
Alpha Delta Phi and Phi Beta Kappa
Fraternities; University, Contempora-
ry, National Press and other clubs.
It would be more cruel for Ameri-
ca to cease her aid to Armenia and
other stricken regions of the Near
East now, than it would have been to
refuse to begin these activities, ac-
cording to Lieut. Frank Connes, offi-
cial interpreter of the New York Su-
preme court, and formerly a member
of the Russian commissions of the
American Red Cross.
Lieut. Connes has just returned to
the United States from a three
months’ survey of conditions in the
Caucasus, Syria and Asia Minor.
“The gratitude of the Armenians to
the United States is pathetic,” Lieut.
Connes said. “I have had officials of
the Armenian Republic come up to
me and tell me in their own language
that it is entirely due to the United
States that there is a single one of
their people left alive today.
“I have seen thousands of orphans
in Near East Relief asylums. scatter-
ed everywhere throughout those re-
gions get down on their knees at night
and pray for America and American
people.”
Lieut. Connes, who speaks seven
languages, was for a time in Tiflis,
Republic of Georgia, purchasing sup-
plies during the world war, when
thousands of refugees driven from
their homes by the military operations
of the Russians against the Turks,
poured into the city.
“The sufferings of these wretched
people were so acute that visions of
them are still constantly before me,”
he said.
Shortly after the armistice Lieut.
Connes became official interpreter of
the Near East Relief ,returning to
this country to speak in behalf of that
organization. He went back again to
make a further study of conditions,
and is now touring the country to
arouse increased interest in the Near
East Relief.
William Whiteman Instantly Killed
at Snow Shoe.
William Whiteman, an employee at
the round house of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, at Snow Shoe, was
killed instantly about four o’clock on
Monday afternoon when he was
caught in the jaws of the steam grap-
ple shovel used for coaling engines
and crushed to death. Mr. Whiteman
was helping to coal engines at the
wharf and in some unaccountable
way got right between the jaws of
the big shovel as they closed on a load
of coal. Other workmen heard his
cries of distress but could not stop
the machinery in time to save him.
He was about fifty-six years old and
had worked for the railroad company
most of his life, for a number of years
as a car inspector and later at the
round house in Snow Shoe, where he
has lived the past thirty-five years or
more. He is survived by his wife and
the following children: Mrs. Charles
Hoover, Mrs. James Quick, Mrs. Roy
Chambers, all of Snow Shoe; Milford,
Merlin, Fay and Marian, at home.

adopted some years ago and has been
following diligently ever since greatly
to the advantage of the community it

part people never properly appraise
the great asset they have in a good
banking institution. They accept it
as a matter of course and never seem

well directed judiciously managed

of local business as would bring stag-

——The Rossman—Sunday hunting
club, of west Ferguson township, held
their annual banquet in the grange
hall at Rock Springs on Wednesday
night. Every member was present
but one and the married members had
their wives with them and the single
ones lady friends. Of course it was
too late in the season to serve venison
as the piece de resistance, but the
menu included not only the usual sub-
stantials served at a feast of that kind
but all the delicacies that could be
procured at this time of year. The
event was also made the occasion of
a kitchen shower to Robert Harpster
and bride. Music for the affair was
furnished by the Fairbrook orchestra.
