Trout fishing season will not
open on April 15th this year, because
of the fact that the 15th falls on Sun-
day, but it is highly probable that
many fishermen will go to their fa-
vorite streams that night so as to be
on the ground bright and early on
Monday morning, the 16th. Inas-
much as the date is only a little over
two weeks away fishermen are get-
ting their rods and tackle in shape
and doubtless wondering if luck will
be with them on the opening day. Ow-
ing to the extremely low water in
many of the trout streams last fall
there is more or less speculation as to
the trout surviving the hard winter,
but it is quite probable that they
sought protection in the
waters of the larger streams and will
be about as plentiful as usual this
year. The only question will be find-
ing them, and then catching them
after they are located.
——Wednesday’s high wind was a
little too much for successful aviation.
The regular mail plane from Cleve- |
land was forced to land in the western
part of the State owing to the terrific
gale and in doing so the machine was
damaged, though the pilot escaped
injury. Another plane was dispatched
from the Cleveland field to fly light
through to New York, with orders to
stop in Bellefonte and take on the lo-
cal mail, but when the plane reached
here about 1:30 o’clock the wind was
so high that the pilot could not make
a landing. Twice he came dewn un-
til the landing gear of his machine
touched the ground but both times the
wind caught him and he was compel-
led to go up. Finally he signaled that
he had sufficient oil and gas to carry
him through and a return signal was
given to go ahead, which he did,
reaching the New York field safely
about half-past three o’clock.

The annual meeting of the Wom- |
en’s Presbyterial Missionary society '
in the Presbytery of Huntingdon, will |
be held in the First Presbyterian |
church, Tyrone, Tuesday and Wed- |
nesday, April 3rd and 4th, beginning
quarters concur in the remarks of the
commanding General, Third Corps
Area. The reports for 1923 show four
organizations rated as “very good,”
three organizations rated as “good.”
This is a very gratifying report.”
Ratings were given by the corps
area commander.
It is of interest to know that these
ratings are given, taking the regular
army as a standard and rating the Na-
tional Guard, which drills but once a
week, in comparing it with the regu-
lar army.
Boosting Horseshoe Trail.
Eighteen local enthusiasts attended
a meeting at the Bush house, last Fri- '
day evening, for the purpose of boost-
ing the Horseshoe trail. Every man
present signified his intention of be-
coming a member of the organization
and a move was inaugurated to in-
crease the membership in Centre coun-
ty. The membership fee is five dol-
lars and it is the aim of the local com-
mittee to secure at least fifty mem-
bers in this section. Inasmuch as the
State College, with Bellefonte one of
the pivotal points, motor enthusiasts
should not hesitate in enrolling as
members.
A meeting of the association will be
held in Bellefonte on Friday, April |
138th, when the visitors will be the
guests of landlord Lewis Daggett, for
lunch at the Bush house. The mem-
; bers will likely motor to Bellefonte in '
| the morning and return home in the fore Jeg near the shoulder, and had to

I Grover C. Corl, one of our well
known young farmers, was taken vio-
{lently ill last Thursday morning and
jrushed to the Bellefonte hospital,
! where an operation was performed the
| same evening. At this writing he is
, getting along nicely.
Homer Grubb, one of our success-
i ful farmers and stock raisers, last
‘week sold. his thirty-four head of
| steers to Philip Beezer, the butcher of
Bellefonte. The animals were bought
| as feeders, in Pittsburgh, and during
| the time Mr. Grubb had them in
| charge they made a gain of 400 lbs.
{to the steer, netting Mr. Grubb $36
an animal.

| Early Friday morning the smoke |
| house at the home of Charles Witmer, |
ion the Branch, caught fire and the |
| flames communicated to the wash-
house and also the barn. - Neighbors

‘til the arrival of the fire company
from State College, when the flames
were soon extinguished. The damage
Harrisburg, March 27.—Under. the
piessure of threats, promises and in-
i timidations, reinforced by substantial
| support from Democratic members,
‘ the House this afternoon passed Gov-
“ernor Pinchot’s Prohibition Enforce-
iment bill by a scant majority. The
final vote was 107 to 100, the affirma-
tive ballots being two more than the:
required constitutional majority.
| The new era of prohibitior. in Penn-
‘ sylvania, which “dry” cohorts believe:
the measure guarantees, became op-
, erative at 9:15 tonight, when the Gov-
, ernor signed the bill. After signing it
he presented the pen to Mrs. Leal
Cobb Marion, who, as the dupe of Mrs.
! Pinchot, sent out the list of “pledges”
for the misnamed “dry” bill. Mrs.
{ Marion opposed the late United States
. Senator Penrose in his last campaign,
a fact which would indicate Republi-
cans throughout the State will deeply
appreciate the presentation by the
! Governor.
Adoption of the measure automatic-
ally abolished all licenses in the State
and removed all restrictions on the
sale of beverages containing: less than
one-half of 1 per cent, of alcohol. Un-
less subsequent legislation is enacted,
near beer may be sold in any estab-
lishment on any day of the week and
next door to a church or a school-
house if a dispenser selects a location
of that character.
When the vote was announced and it
was found the Governor had recruited
a sufficient number to put the measure
over, several hundred “drys” congre-
gated in the aisles and in the galleries
started an impromptu demonstration
that lasted for several minutes. Men
and women, chiefly the latter, joined
in shouting for this new victory for
the Anti-Saloon League, which backed
the Governor to the limit.

15,000 British Families May Migrate
to Brazil.
An endeavor may be made in the
near future to settle 15,000 British
families in Brazil. Walter Wysard,
of Pangbourne, Berkshire, has the
project in hand and is conferring with
the Brazilian government.
A million acres of agricultural land
have been purchased, and the mineral
wealth of the region is to be explored.
The settlers will be recruited from
world war veterans and will be assist-
ed to the extent of free passages, ag-
ricultural implements and the pur-
chase of land by installments out of
profits.
