| Two hundred years ago the site of
Bellefonte was a favorite camp for
the red men, because of the wonderful
' spring of water and the abundance of
‘trout in the streams. We still have
the big spring and our streams some
trout, and week after next Bellefonte
will be invaded by more Red Men
than have been here in many moons.
| To be exact the dates will be Tues-
‘day and Wednesday, May 9th and
| 10th, and the occasion the annual con-
| vention of the Red Men’s League of
Central Pennsylvania. The League is
composed of Tribes from all over cen-
| tral Pennsylvania and at the last
| meeting in the neighborhood of five
i
i
i
i parade. The committee expects as
| many, if not more, to attend the
| Bellefonte covention.
i The Red Men is the oldest organi-
‘zation of purely American origin,
{ tracing its history back to the patri-
{ otic order known as the Sons of Liber-
| ty, or Tamma Society. They used the
forms and customs of the American
Indians and took part in the events
' which crystalized into the Declaration
' of Independence and the constitution
‘of the United States. The Sons of
Liberty formed themselves into a so-
ciety in 1765, taking charge of the pa-
triotic movements, one of which was
| the Boston Tea Party of fifty mem-
bers. Disguised as Indians they went
on board the ships of England and
"emptied 342 chests of tea into Boston
bay.
! As in those days the Red Men of to-
' day have proved themselves one hun-
dred per cent. true Americans, which
| was demonstrated during the great
‘world war. The tribes contributed
$69,992.15, for which sixteen limou-
{ sine ambulances were purchased and
| assigned to as many cantonments.
| At a session of the Grand Council in
{ Chicago a service flag was unfurled
i showing that the Red Men had 29,991
: members in service during the war.
Standing upon the above record the
! local committee of arrangements says:
i “Feeling we have done our bit we re-
| quest business places and citizens of
| Bellefonte to display the American
‘flag or any other decorations they
{ may feel disposed to put up during
! the two days of our convention, May
{9th and 10th. Further information
, about the gathering and big parade
I will be published next week.”

' Kephart Home on Buffalo Run De-
i stroyed by Fire.
The large and comfortable farm
house on the old Caleb Kephart home-
stead near Fillmore, in Buffalo Run
, valley, was completely destroyed by
‘fire last Saturday morning. The fire
broke out about eight o’clock in the
morning in the loft over the out kitch-
en. Miss Kephart was baking at the
time and naturally had a hot fire in
the stove, but whether the fire caught
from the flue, a spark, or some other
cause, is not definitely known.
As soon as the flames were discov-
ered a call was sent to the Bellefonte
fire department for assistace, and
| there was some little delay occasion-
ed for various reasons but finally the |
, free baby clinic on Wednesday, 2 to 3
Undine pumper was sent up, making
the run in eleven minutes. But the
house being of frame construction
was quick prey to the flames and by
“the time the firemen arrived on the
‘ground very little was left of the
house. With the assistance of neigh-
bors the family succeeded in saving
practically everything from the first
. and second floors of the house, but the
i most of the stuff on the third floor, on
' which were located two or more bed-
"rooms, was burned. Members of the
_ family at home were Miss Dora, Gray
and Benner Kephart, and some of
. their household goods have been stor-
!ed in the old Matlock Kephart house
‘nearby while a portion of the furni-
ture has been used in fitting up a tem-
porary home in an old store building
| there where the family will live until
‘they decide on rebuilding.
! The house destroyed was built in
| the early seventies when the original
home was destroyed by fire. While
| the loss is a serious one both the
i house and furnishings were insured,
{ but the amount carried could not be
ascertained.

Annual Cattle Feeder’s Day.
Steer feeding results to be discus-
sed at the annual cattle feeder’s day
meeting, at State College, Thursday,
May 4th, will be of unusual interest
to the feeders of Centre county, says
county agent J. N. Robinson, who is
planning to accompany a group of
farmers to the College to attend this
annual event, conducted by the Ani-
mal Husbandry department. A var-
ied and instructive program has been
arranged, including a discussion of
| the proper grading of feeder steers,
i the profitable type of feed-lot steer
| and lastly, an explanation of this
year’s experimental results, which
have an important bearing on present
day problems of the cattle feeder. All
persons who expect to attend this
meeting should meet at the stock
judging pavilion at 9:30 a. m., sharp,
standard time.
Early Fruit Frozen.
There is every reason to believe
that the bulk of the early fruit has
been killed by the extreme cold weath-
er of the past week, and there is a
possibility that the late fruit has also
been damaged, but to what extent it
is impossible to determine at this time.
Last year the fruit was killed by the
cold weather of April 11th but because
all kinds of fruit trees were several
weeks late this year, and the middle
of April passed without any killing
frosts growers naturally believed all
danger of freezing past and were al-
ready anticipating big crops. But last
Thursday it blew up cold and that
night the thermometer dropped below
the freezing point. Saturday morn-
ing it was down to twenty degrees
above zero, or twelve degrees below
the freezing point, and heavy frosts
covered the ground both Sunday and
Monday morning. The only hope is
that the late fruit is not far enough
advanced to be completely wiped out,
althought there is hardly any ques-
tion about it being damaged consider-
ably.
Red Cross Nursing Service.
. Mrs. Blanche Schloss, who has been
chairman of the nursing service of the
Red Cross since it was introduced two
years ago with Miss Mae Peterman,
has resigned temporarily and her
work will be continued by the two oth-
er members of the committee—Mrs.
Charles Kurtz and Elizabeth Meek.
There will be no change in the service
as Miss Pearl Meeker, who succeeded
Miss Mary Royer as Red Cross nurse,
will continue the regular office hours,
9-9:30 a.m. in Petrikin hall. At the
p. m., Mrs. Kurtz will assist Miss
Meeker. Mrs. Kurtz, as Miss Lois
Calderwood, superintendent of the
Bellefonte hospital, is well known and
it is hoped that every mother will
bring her baby to be weighed and
measured and receive the helpful ad-
vice of these two experienced nurses.
Miss Meeker will be on service from
9 a. m. to 5 p. m. but is not supposed
to go out at night unless by special
arrangement. The regular fee is 50
cents a visit for those who can afford
to pay it but free to those who cannot
and Miss Meeker will be glad to re-
spond to any call for help.

“Better Service” Week at the
: Postoffice.
At the request of the Postoffice De-
partment “Better Service” week will
be the order of the day in every post-
office in the country May 1st to 6th,
inclusive, and the Bellefonte postoffice
will be right in the forefront in an en-
deavor to make the service in Belle-
fonte the best possible. To assist in
doing so postmaster John L. Knisely
invites patrons to call at the office any
time during the week and offer any
criticisms or suggestions they may
have which they think will improve
the local service. Patrons are partic-
ularly asked to call between the hours
of 9 and 11 a. m., when the morning
mails are being changed, and they will
thus have an opportunity of seeing
the force at work during the two bus-
iest hours of the day. As the heav-
iest mails of the week come in on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, the public is
especially asked to visit the office on
these days. Delegations of High
school students and also Bellefonte
Academy students will be invited for
certain days during the week.
And when you do visit the office
don’t feel afraid to offer any sugges-
tions you may have, or if you believe
the postoffice force deserves commen-
dation don’t fail to say so. The object
of “Better Service” week is to have
the public at large become better ac-
quainted with the service in general
and, also, show patrons how they can
assist in the good work.

Potter’s Mills Child Killed by Horse.
An unfortunate accident at Potter’s
Mills, about 4:30 o’clock on Monday
afternoon, resulted in the instant
death of John William Smith, the in-
fant son of Earl and Jennie Wilson
Smith, of that place. Earl Smith is
employed in the store of his father,
Emanuel Smith, of Potters Mills. He
had gone to his own home on Monday
afternoon and on his trip back to the
store pushed the front gate shut, ex-
pecting it to latch. But it did not and
the gate swung open, the child going
out of the yard into the road, evident-
ly following his father across the road
toward the store.
Just at that time Bigler Schaeffer,
of Madisonburg, driving his big stal-
lion, happened along and the child ran
out in the road right in front of the
horse. Mr. Schaeffer did not see the
little boy and his first knowledge of
anything wrong was when the horse
reared. But the animal made no at-
tempt to run away and when it came
down on its fore feet stopped right
there. Mr. Schaeffer then saw the
child lying about midway between the
horse’s front and hind legs. He jump-
ed out of his vehicle and picked the
child up from beneath the horse. He
was carried into the house but life was
already extinct.
A physician was summoned and he
found that the child’s back was brok-
en, a shoulder dislocated and three
ribs broken, one of which punctured
the lungs. But there was no evidence
that the horse had tramped on it. The
only conclusion is that when the little
boy ran in front of the horse the lat-
ter reared to keep from trampling it
but in doing so hit it with its heavy
hoofs causing the injuries which re-
sulted in its death.
The child was fifteen months old and
in addition to the parents one sister
and three brothers survive, namely:
Irene, Richard, Eugene and Lowe:
Rev. C. F. Catherman had charge of
the funeral which was held yesterday
afternoon, burial being made in the
Sprucetown cemetery.

Spring and Benner townships, will

The Rev. Samuel Martin, of State .
College, preached an able sermon on
the “Treasure Hid in the Field.” Rev.
Ebenezer Flack, D. D., of Kingston,
gave the charge to the pastor, in
which he emphasized the need of be-
ing both a witness and servant. The
Rev. R. M. Campbell, of Altoona, gave
the charge to the congregation, in
which he stressed the need of faithful
attendance upon all the services of the
church and co-operation with the pas-
tor. The Rev. Thomas Young offered
the prayer of installation, asking
God’s special blessing on the new re-
lationship that had been consummated
by Presbytery. Rev. Brown, of Miles-
burg, was also present and offered
the prayer of invocation. Special mu-
sic was furnished by the choir, assist-
ed by Miss Mildred Locke. The bene-
diction was pronounced by the newly
installed pastor, Rev. David R. Evans,
While Mr. Evans has only been la-
boring in Bellefonte since the second
Sunday of March, great progress has
been apparent in all the departments
of the church and a splendid spirit of
co-operation prevails. The friends of
the church believe that it has entered
a new era of growth and activity un-
der the leadership of Rev. Evans.
