Demon alc, Bellefonte, Pa., March 9, 1923. THE HUMAN FACTOR. A Complete Report of Year’s Work at Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. During the past year over seven hundred individuals have helped to make the work of the Bellefonte Young Men’s Christian Association, one of the largest enterprises in the interest of lifting humanity to a high- er and more useful life and interest in the community. The number of indi- viduals contributing to this end are as follows: Men and boy members - 340 Contributing members - 142 Women’s Auxiliary . 100 Y.W.C. A. - - 103 Kiddies Class - - 45 Total - - - 730 In addition to this there were hun- dreds of children who enjoyed the public playground, regardless of creed or color, which work was promoted and supervised by the Secretary dur- ing ten weeks last summer, without any expense for time and effort put into the cause of providing a safe and happy place for the children to play under supervision. It is safe to say no other organization in town has reach- ed and provided to such a large extent in providing uplifting and helpful ac- tivities to so large an aggregate. EXTENSION PROMOTION. “To serve the communtiy” was the motto adopted and various features have been adopted to this end. The Rural membership has been establish- ed for those living outside Bellefonte at a reduced rate, giving them the full privileges of the Association when in town. Many rural High school stu- dents and men working in factories have taken out memberships. With a view to assisting the rural community a rest room has been pro- vided on the second floor, open to those coming into town desiring a place for rest and shelter. The coun- try people coming into town for shop- ping are getting into the way of us- ing the room and many people await- ing train connections are referred to the use of the room. A Sunday school baseball league composed of four teams was conduct- ed by the Y. M. C. A,, the Methodist team winning the trophy. PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES. During the year classes were con- ducted for Business Men, Seniors, Students, Employed boys, Juniors, Women and Girls with a total enroll- ment of 145; 148 class sessions were held with a total attendance of 2119. In addition to this the gymnasium was used for basket ball games and other athletic events which total sev- eral hundred attendance. This season the High school made arrangements whereby they could use the gymnasi- um for basket ball practice, league and class games, also receiving priv- ileges of the baths and showers. BOWLING ALLEYS. Bowling proved to be a very popular sport last season. Two Bowling Leagues were organized in which 65 men participated and it is safe to say that as many men used the alleys reg- ularly who were not members of the league. A series of 66 games were played, not one was defaulted. The American Legion won the Bowling challenge trophy, grocer’s team being second. : The alleys were put in first class condition at a cost of about $400 for repairs and supplies. No financial profit accrued from them last year as shown by the following figures: Total expenditure on alleys $1023.00 Receipts - - - 848.31 But many hours of social fellowship were spent on it by a large number of men. CAMP. Thirty-one boys enjoyed ten days at Camp Morris, on Spring creek, last summer at a cost of $5.00 per boy, the Association taking care of extra ex- penses, and the boys were greatly benefitted from the outing and are looking forward to a longer time this vear. The plans for this year pro- vides for a larger camp, for more boys, for a longer time at the same rate per day and those who went are HAMBONE'S MEDITATIONS KUNL BOB LOW You HAS ° T' BE PATIENT EF YOU ‘SPECTS T' KETCH FISH, BUT DE TROUBLE wID ME WEN AH SETS | — EN BEES PATIENT AH GOES T’ SLEEP! _— Copyright, 1921 by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. looking forward to returning and oth- ers anticipating going. COMMUNITY ROOM AND LIBRARY. A Community room on the second floor was furnished for a meeting place of many organizations. During the past year the following organiza- tions have made regular use of the room: The Business Men’s Associa- tion, Camp Fire Girls, Women’s Aux- iliary, the Board of Trade, Royal Neighbors of America, the Minister- ial Association, Y. W. C. A. Girls and the Hospital Board. The Women’s Auxiliary have start- ed a library of over 1000 fiction books and a large reference library. It is open to the public on payment of an- nual library fees. The boy’s library of 250 books has been well patronized, having a membership of forty-six and hundreds of books have been issued during the year. The Women’s Auxiliary and Y. W. Girls have rendered valuable assist- ance during the past year in providing social events and banquets and in fur- nishing and taking care of the rooms. DORMITORIES. A limited accommondation was pro- vided last year for dormitory men, but those enjoying this privilege are very enthusiastic. Accommodations for six young men are being provided for this year. FINANCES. As a result of the campaign last winter a large part of the back in- debtedness incurred by the remodel- ing, has been cleared up and a deficit on the budget of 1922 provided for. The following statement shows the large amount of business transactions carried on last year through the As- sociation: RECEIPTS.

Miss Jennie Glossner was a visitor at the William Weaver home on Sat- urday. : Many of our people are still suffer- ing with the grip while a number of children are sick with the measles. Miss Alta Yearick returned home last Saturday after spending some time with relatives in and near Phil- adelphia. The Womelsdorf sale on Saturday was well attended and some of the stock and farm implements brought their full value, while others went as real bargains. Deimer Ertley and Walter Orr, of Altoona, and Clarence Weight, of Ce- dar Springs, were here on Saturday attending the Womelsdorf sale. All the above hold good positions in their respective locations. rs aime isin —Subsecribe for the “Watchman.” CASTORIA Bears thesignature of Chas, H.Fletcher.

If it were possible to simplify life to the uttermost how little one really wants.— Gertrude Jekyl. Jenny, she is for youth this year. Her silhouette is most unobstructed, she rejects draperies and cloying trim- ming. Little, jaunty tailored suits she shows us of hip length; coats and sim- ple straight skirts, a little above the ankles but made gayly young by bands of narrow rainbow-colored ribbons and braid on the pockets and hemmed col- ars. I am thankful to report that, Chez Jenny, the waist is normal. I think we have quite finished with silk. Lit- tle, straight coats, too, of Chinese ef- fects in cut and color, and one quite splendid cape for evening seems to ra- diate for a big Chinese motif, em- broidered in gold and forming its back. But her general effects remain charmingly simple, even naive, aided by such details as that hip waist, oth- erwise so hideous. Blouses harmon- izing and completing the color scheme accompanying suits usually fastened at the throat with narrow ribbon. Jenny will always be different. In- stead of the Egyptian she displays the Chinese note—motifs of pagodas, par- asols, mandarins, geishas always, so discreet in embroideries of pearls, or on day frocks round, turned-down col- lars made of lingerie or rows of rain- bow ribbon. This rainbow ribbon runs so gayly through all of the collec- tion of Jenny—skirts and little jack- ets curling up in embroideries and cocardes broadening out sometimes into real bands and again almost, but not quite, disappearing at the collar or wrist. Once it swaggered out as real Roman stripes around a black taf- feta skirt. As all the world talks and thinks things Egyptian now, Jenny dis- dains the popular Egyptian atmos- phere—but even she has not wholly escaped. The serpent of the Nile ap- pears on two models beginning above the waist and winding around the body until below the hips, once in black leather stitched on a black cloth dress and again as gorgeous scaly creatures of gold, orange and blue sequins. I permit myself to suggest them to ladies who fear above all the banal. Jenny’s colors are very discreet. She conceded rainbow trimming, but her bases for tailored suits are soft browns, beige, pistache and her fa- vorite navy blue. These colors, and even black, appear again in her day frocks though these brighten and blossom into printed crepes and mus- lins. Braids and ribbons of combin- ed colors, such as red, blue and green, or scarlet, mauve and purple, are used as trimming or similar effects of col- or by rows of embroidered beads or silk, but always of striped effect, either straight or curled. The chemise frock Jenny completely abandons, replacing it with frocks composed of two or three tiered skirts worn with a belero or a bolero effect. One-sided effects, whether of draping or trimming, Jenny eliminates from her collection. But more, she square- ly divides, I think, on half dresses, by a line down back from neck to skirt hem, two halves that one may see are quite symmetrical. Sometimes this line is a broad stitched band of ma- terial or rainbow ribbon or strip of beads or embroideries on afternoon and evening dresses. We had a little laugh when “Far West” was announced and beheld a short little coat of dull rose suede over a pale chiffon blcuse of the same tone worn with a black skirt. Would not you cowmen be pleased to see that? Jenny is indeed quite discreet, and I think she but emphasizes this quality by one or two bizarre touches, such as the serpents I've told you of, and the separate gauntlet cuffs worn with sleeveless dresses. Of lace or solid curls of ribbon, they were some- times narrow, a mere bracelet, but sometimes rising to the elbow. In general, the silhouette at Jen- ny’s is more normal than anywhere else and more youthfully simple though recherche in details. I visited recently—imagine—an American house of dressmaking in Paris. But you know of it. Its pro- prietor is the wife of J. O. Davidson, your American sculptor. It is situat- ed near the Etoile and is quite small, its narrow gray stairway displaying a gay panel by Gardner Hale of pretty ladies descending the same stairs. Madame Davidson’s models seem to "Ime French ideas transformed a little for American and English tastes. It will be interesting to watch her house evolve. From Paris comes the unusual and unusually smart hat, the crown of which is Milan straw and the novel brim made completely of taffeta rib- bon that eliminates the need of other trimming. Effectively trimmed with wing-like loops and ends of moire ribbon, the novel shape of visca straw needs no other adornment. Again the desirable and desired modernized - poke-bonnet shape, this time developed with a crown of Milan, a brim of opaline straw embroidery and a trimming of grosgrain ribbon. The youthful charm of the plaited skirt and the straight-line blouse of all-over material is quite convincing- ly portrayed in the attractive photo- graph that faithfully depicts a fashion which will continue through the spring and the summer. Another version of the mode of the plaited skirt and overblouse is pictur- ed in the plain and printed taffeta of special manufacture combined to make possible a very charming and desira- ble frock. A beautiful silk fabric is shown to excellent advantage in the simple semi-tailored sport dress that consists of a straight skirt attached to a long- waisted skirt blouse cut in kimono style and having an adjustable collar that may be worn buttoned up tightly at the neck.

A great many farmers in Pennsyl- vania find it easy to get a stand of alfalfa by sowing with small grain in the spring, provided the “alfalfa es- sentials” are attended to. The safest idan, however, is to first try mixing 6 to 10 pounds of alfalfa seed per acre with about two-thirds the usual clover seeding. If the alfalfa succeeds the first crop will be mixed hay and the later crops largely alfalfa. In case of failure, there will still be the timo- thy and clover according to the Centre county Farm Bureau. The alfalfa essentials referred to are: (1) Drainage: Alfalfa seldom succeeds or lasts on a water logged soil. (2) Lime: Be sure the soil is not sour. The Centre county Farm Bureau will test a sample from the field in question and if it shows a need of lime that can not be rectified be- fore seeding do not sow alfalfa. (3) Suitable seed: Patronize only seeds- men who can guarantee that their seed is northern or western grown. Imported or southwestern seed is re- sponsible for many failures. Kansas seed seems satisfactory for the south- ern counties, northwestern common alfalfa is safe for the central coun- ties, but at least half Grimm seed may be advisable in the north or at high altitudes. (4) Innoculation is essential 90 per cent. of the time when alfalfa is first sown. Innoculation material can be secured from The Pennsylvania State College or the De- partment of Agriculture at Washing- ton, through the county agent, or dry sifted soil from an old alfalfa field may be mixed with the moistened see before sowing. » CHESTNUT TREES IN DOOMED. Harrisburg.—The one stand of chestnut trees left in the State will disappear before the ravages of the chestnut blight within the next year or so, according to the State Forestry Department. All other chestnut trees have either been killed or are in such a weakened condition that they are worthless for anything but timber or firewood. The last stand is in the northern tier of counties. Already the blight, traveling northward and westward, has affected 20 per cent. of the trees in Tioga, Potter and Warren counties and the others will go soon, according to Joseph S. Illick, chief of the Re- search Bureau of the Forestry Depart- meent. These trees apparently had been immune from the disease. The department has not abandoned hope of growing chestnut trees in Pennsylvania. It is estimated that the loss in these trees during the last ten years has amounted to millions of dollars. The State spent a large ap- propriation in trying to check the blight when it was at its worst in the central and eastern part of the State. The Forestry Commissioner urged the immediate cutting down of the trees in the affected area so that the wood could be used for timber purposes, and in this way some value was derived from the dying trees. ama oa HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA. Is Your Blood Good or Thin and Watery? You can tell by the way you feel. You need Hood’s Sarsaparilla to make your blood rich, red and pure, tingling with health for every organ. You need it if weak and tired day in and day out, if your appetite is poor, sleep unrefreshing,—for hu- mors, boils, eruptions, scrofula, rheu- matism, headaches, nervous prostra- tion. It is simply wonderful to give strength to your whole body. It is agreeable, pleasant and con- venient to take, and embodies a long- tried and found-true formula. 67-34 STATE y ! tnat Jo) salieicy, Real Estate Transfers. Alfred Beezer, et ux, to Grover B.

Spread of Irrigation Work. Great progress has been made in the art of irrigation since the first crude works built 60 years ago, according to the annual report of the bureau of publi¢ roads, United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. In 1920 the area irrigated in the United States amount- ed to approximately 19,000,000 acres and the annual gross returns from irri- gated lands is now nearly half a bil- lion doilars MEDICAL. Act Quickly Do the right thing at the right time. Act quickly in time of danger. In time of kidney danger, Doan’s Kidney Pills are most effective. Plenty of Bellefonte evidence of their worth. Ask your neighbor! Mrs. Susan Lyons, R. F. D. No. 1, Box 49, Bellefonte, says: “I know there is no better remedy for kidney and bladder trouble than Doan’s Kid- ney Pills. I suffered a great deal with disordered kidneys. My back gave out and ached as if it would break. I was hardly ever free from nervous, dizzy headaches and inflam- mation of the bladder caused me to suffer terribly. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills bought at Zeller & Son’s drug store and I have never had anything do me as much good. The aches and pains left my back and I was relieved of the bladder trouble.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Lyons had.
