Penn State Campaign Passes Million
Mark.
The Pennsylvania State College
emergency building fund campaign is
now well started on its second “lap”
in the drive for the goal of $2,000,000.
The half-way mark of one million was
reached a few days ago when a check
for $21,349 was turned over by the
alumni athletic advisory committee of
the college, representing the net pro-
ceeds of the Tournament of Roses
football game played by the Penn
State team
Year’s day.
This gift, which is the largest siu-
gle subscription recorded in the first
million dollars in pledges, will be used
in furnishing the new Varsity Hall or
athletic training quarters building to
be erected through the emergency
building fund. It is expected that
work on the construction of this build-
ing will start during the present year. |!
The campaign is progressing slowly
but surely, over one-third of the grad-
uates having already subscribed. No
definite date has been set for its con-
clusion, but alumni workers are
straining every effort to complete it
as soon as possible.

Farm Bureau to Hold Farm Meetings.
The Centre county Farm Bureau
will conduct a series of farm meetings
during February and early March.
These meetings will be similar to and
take the place of the old farmer's in-
stitute which was so popular in the
county a few years ago. The plan is
to include five communities, holding
meetings at weekly intervals, discuss-
ing one or two subjects at each meet-
ing. This type of meeting proved
very successful at Spring Mills last
winter. The series will start January
29th, at which time the subjects of
farm crops, fertilizers, ete., will be
discussed with special emphasis on
corn and legume crops. The schedule
is as follows:
Monday evening, 7:30, in Grange
Hall, at Stormstown.
Tuesday evening, 7:30, school house,
at Pine Grove Mills.
Wednesday evening, 7:30, school
house, Aaronsburg.

Conference for

Mid-year Sunday
The mid-year conference for Sun-
day school workers in Centre county
will be held in the Lutheran church,
Bellefonte, on Tuesday, February 6th.
Every effort will be made to make it
one of the most helpful ever held in
the county. The program and discus-
sions will be on matters of vital in-
terest to the hundreds of workers in
the Sunday schools. Among the
speakers will be Rev. E. Bonsall, su-
perintendent of the young people’s di-
vision of the State staff of workers.
He has lately returned from Chicago
and has been in touch with the heart
of the work there, hence will come to
Bellefonte with new inspiration for
the progress of the work among the
young in the Sunday schools. Notices
and programs will be sent direct to
the superintendents.

LINGLE.
GEORGE W.
| LINGLE.—George W. Lingle, Cen-
"tre county’s oldest resident and al-
most a centenarian, passed peaceful-
ly away at five o'clock on Monday
morning at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. James Clark, on Allegheny
street. Notwithstanding the fact that
he was close tc one hundred years old
he had the physique and alertness of
a man many years younger and en-
joyed remarkably good health up un-
til last Thursday. He took his bed
that day and it soon became evident
that his long life had run its course
and -his passing on Monday morning
was the end of a career that ran from
the eventful days of the early history
of Centre county up to the present
years of progress.
A son of Paul and Mary Spohn
Lingle he was born at Reedsville on
April 6th, 1823, hence had attained
the age of 92 years, 9 months and 16
days.
gle, at one time owned all the land on
which the city of Harrisburg now
i ed from Dauphin county to the Kish-
'acoquillas valley and the same year
, that their son George was born, or in
| 1823, they moved to the vicinity of
| Beech Creek. It was there that Mr.
Lingle grew to manhood. Educational
facilities were limited in those days
and most of his boyhood was spent on
his father’s farm and in watching the
canal boats on the old canal that ran
from Bellefonte to the Susquehanna
river and thence by devious routes
through to Philadelphia. The life ap-
pealed to the young man and natural-
ly he sought and was given employ-
ment on one of the boats with the re-
sult that he eventually became a cap-
tain and made many trips from Belle-
fonte to Philadelphia, hauling iron to
Philadelphia from the Bellefonte fur-
naces and bringing back all kinds of
produce. This was in the days be-
fore railroad transportation, but the
building of the railroads resulted in
the disuse of the canals as a means of
transportation and Mr. Lingle return-
ed to the farm, locating near Beech
Creek. Several years later he became
enamored with the glowing stories of
opportunities in the middle west and
moved to Peoria, Iil., where he
farmed a few years but finally sold
out and returned to Beech Creek
where he again located on a farm.
Mr. Lingle was a member of the
Christian church at Blanchard for
many years and an upright, christian
gentleman. He attributed his long
life to the fact that he was temperate
in all things and cheerful and optimis-
tic at all times. He always believed
that everything that happened was for
some purpose in the divine order of
the universe and always bowed to the
inevitable.
When a young man he married
Jane Ellen Thompson and after a long
life together she passed away in No-
vember, 1914, but surviving him are
eight children, namely: Mrs. W. P.
Bullock, of Beech Creek; Franklin J.
Lingle, of Johnsonburg; Winford, of
Bridgeport, Conn.; Mrs. B. J. Linn, of
Beech Creek; Mrs. W. A. Packer, of
Williamsport; Mrs. C. A. Gladfelter,
of Endicott, N. Y., and Mrs. James
Clark, of Bellefonte. Mr. Lingle was
dren.
Funeral services were held at the
Wellsboro, and Rev. David R. Evans,
of Bellefonte, after which the remains
were taken to Blanchard for burial in
the Disciple cemetery.

rine Haas and was born in Roopsburg
about fifty-two years ago. The most
of his life was spent at that place but
since the death of his mother a num-
ber of years ago he had lived in Belle-
fonte. His only survivor is one sis-
ter, Mrs. Richard Detling, of Willow-
bank street. Funeral services were

If you get sick, where will you go?
Right out to the hospital, beds in a row!
This is the truth,(don’t think it funny),
While you are there it’s costing money.
You say that you never gave it a thought,
Yes, but you surely know that you ought!
For while you are there you get lots of
care,
And nurses must run to and fro.
Oh, the linen you use, and the bed-springs
you abuse,
You help wear them out, as you very well
know.
Just a few years and their

From whence comes new ones, the funds
are depleted ?
So let's help them along,

How can you help them? no idea at all,

roses were in bloom and when he land-

While in the act of stepping from
her back porch a few days ago, Mrs.
J. W. Sunday slipped on the ice and
fell fracturing her left shoulder and
injuring her left hip. While suffering
considerable pain she is getting along
as well as can be expected.
Last Wednesday evening a sledding
party of jolly young people from Bai-
leyville and Rock Springs stopped at
the McCracken home in the Glades,
where a delightful evening was spent.
Refreshments were served and with
games and music the time passed ail
| too quickly.
The venerable William H. Jacobs,

Dr. Stork was quite busy the past
week leaving a little boy at the Ches-
ter Brennon home at Rock Springs
who has been named Chester Jr. The
following day a little son arrived in
the home of Homer Johnson, at Pine
Hall, and on Friday morning a little
daughter made her appearance at the
Clayton Corl home. The little girl
has been named Ada Etta.
Hon. John T. McCormick, of State
College, celebrated his seventy-fifth
i birthday anniversary on Tuesday by
{ making a business trip to Bellefonte.
Being a busy man of affairs he gave
little thought to the momentous ocea-
sion but when he returned home at
noon he was given the surprise of his
life when he discovered a houseful of
¢lose friends who had been invited by
Mrs. McCormick to share the birthday
dinner. It is hardly necessary to say
that it was considerable of a feast, as
all who are acquainted with Mrs. Mec-
Cormick’s culinary abilities will real-
ize just what the dinner was like. The
afternoon was spent in a delightful so-
cial way and the Hon. John will not
soon forget the event.
MANY PEOPLE THINK
THEY SEE STRAIGHT.
Do you see straight, or do you only
think you do? Unless you are sure
and have satisfied yourself by a stand-
ard examination you do not know.
Many people are handicapped be-
cause of poor vision. If you wish to
be successful it is essential that you
have perfect vision. It will be worth
your time to consult me.
I use no drops and prescribe glasses
