S. of A., and who has done some good work in Bellefonte and Centre county, has been chosen as organization manager of the State Camp of the order in Pennsylvania. During the past four years he has been engaged in news- paper and Chautauqua work but his entire time in the future will be given to the P. O. S. of A. Aa AES ——March may not make its official exit tomorrow exactly like a lion but there has been enough of roarin’ i ed in Bellefonte of the death on March around all week to resemble a cage. full of the wild beasts, while for pure, unadulterated arctic weather the week has been about on a plane with mid- winter, thermometers in Bellefonte registering as low as six degrees above zero yesterday morning. Ior- liest of fruit tunately not even the earliest o : | married Catherine Zimmerman, of trees have made a showing of buds s that the hard freeze has hardly re-, sulted in any damage to the fruit crop. ——Mrs. James Toner, who occu- pies apartments in the Snyder build- ing on Bishop street, met with a very serious accident on Wednesday that might easily have been fatal. De- scending the back stairway she slip- ped on a lump of coal that turned and threw her down the long flight to the bottom where she struck her head and shoulders against the door. While no bones were broken she was so pain- fully bruised and shocked that up to yesterday afternoon she had not re- © covered sufficiently to sit up. —— Sunday will be Easter, and naturally about nine-tenths of the women are particularly concerned about their new spring Lats and oth- er finery. While it is yet a little ear- ly to tell what the weather will be like no unusual storms have so far been predicted and it is to be hoped the day will be warm and sunshiny. While Easter comes quite early this year it is not establishing a record by any means. Two years ago it fell on March 27th and later we had enough cold weather to freeze all the The earliest date on which Faster can fall is March 22nd, but -that is a very rare occurrence. ee — A er ————————— 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. | i MYERS.—John S. Myers died at his home in Philipsburg on Tuesday night of last week as the result of general debility.

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. rr ———— A ne. 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.
