Flittings Now On, Both Hither and
Yon.
April first, the legal flitting day,
coming on Sunday this year, Monday
will be the day when everybody chang-
ing homes must flit, unless other ar-
rangements have been made before-
hand. Asis the case every year,
many changes will take place in Belle-
But from the number of flittings
seen on the streets this week. quite a
number of families are anxious to get
located as soon as possible.
Sim Baum and family moved on
Monday from Bishop street to their
new home on the corner of Allegheny
and Curtin streets, recently purchased
from Mrs. W. F. Reeder. The house
has been remodeled into two distinct
houses, the Curtin street side to be oc-
cupied by Rebert Morris and family,
who expect to move in about the fifth
of April. The house on Bishop street
vacated by the Baums will be occu-
pied by the Peter Smith family, who
will move there just as soon as some
minor repairs are made.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cairns will
move from the Emerick house on
Spring street into one of the apart-
ments being arranged in the Hiller
house, on High street, recently pur-
chased by H. J. Thompson. Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Smith, who have been liv-
ing with Mr. and Mrs. Cairns, have
leased the Keichline house on Bishop
street to be vacated by the Ziegler
family. The Emerick property on
Spring street to be vacated by Mr.
and Mrs. Cairns will be occupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Charleston, who will
move there from the Gerberich house
on Thomas street, Mr. Charleston be-
ing an employee of the Emerick Mo-
tor Bus company.
Clement Dale Esq., and son, Arthur
C. Dale Esq., have leased the two
rooms on the first floor of the Hiller
building and will move their offices
there from their present location op-
posite the court house yard; the build-
ing they are in to be torn down to
make room for the new one to be
erected on that corner by J. O. Hev-
erly.
J. Kennedy Johnston, who will also
be compelled to move his offices, has
leased the rooms over the Republican
office formerly occupied by dental of-
fices, and will locate there.
The lower floor rooms of the Hiller
property next to the William Katz
residence have been leased by Dr.
Fox, a chiropractor of .State. College,
who will open offices there just as soon
as some minor repairs are made. The
kitchen and laundry have been rent-
ed by Miss Helen Valentine, who is
now getting them in shape for her |
“Last Resort” tea room, which she!
will move there from south Allegheny |
i street. The apartment on the second |
floor of the building next the Elks
has been taken by Mr. and Mrs. James |
Craig and family.

Wednesday from Petrikin hall to their |
new home on west Curtin street, re-
cently purchased from Carl Weaver,

— Flower girls will assist in the
sale of flowers at the Y. M. C. A. On
Saturday a number of girls will be on
the street with baskets of carnations
for sale to the public.
—The airmail will inaugurate its
summer schedule on April 15th, when
mail planes will leave New York and
Cleveland a half hour earlier than
they have been doing during the win-
ter. This will necessitate all the em-
ployees at the Bellefonte field going
to work at seven o’clock in the morn-
ing instead of 7:30. But it will also
enable them to quit at four o’clock in
the afternoon.
——The public sale season will end
this week with the possible exception
of a few minor sales here and there
over the county. Selling out this
spring has not proved the profitable
experience of a few years ago. At
that time most any ordinary sale ran
from $2500 to $3000, with big sales
bringing in from $7000 to $8000. This
year the average was very much less,
very few sales reaching the five thous-
and dollar mark.
——The Philipsburg High school
basket ball team failed to “take home
the bacon” when they played Belle-
fonte High two weeks ago but that
little incident did not keep them from
eating turkey last Saturday night,
when Hon. Harry B. Scott gave them
a banquet at the Hotel Philips.
Mingling among the two hundred
guests present were Cullen Cain,
sports editor of the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, Hugo Bezdek, B. M.
Herrman, Glenn Killinger and Mike
Palm, of State College, as well as a
number of athletic heroes from sur-
rounding towns.
——Street laborers this week have
dug up and hauled away the last of
the heavy layer of ice on the streets
in the business section of Bellefonte.
While it naturally improves the ap-
pearance of the streets it is only an
incident in the lives of the street
cleaners. But the point at issue is
the fact that the first snow of the
winter fell on December 14th, and for
more than one hundred days, or al-
most three and one-half months, the
streets of Bellefonte were never en-
tirely clear of snow and ice until this:
week, and there will probably be more
snow before the weather settles.

The Bellefonte Academy basket |
ball team closed its season on Satur-
day evening by defeating the Blooms-
burg Normal five by the score of 48
to 29. Carl Snavely, the Academy
coach for next yer, witnessed the
game and was well satisfied with the
team work of the Academy players.
Readers of the “Watchman”
will be glad to know that Levi A. Mil-

indoors all of this week. It’s been
rather a trial for Mr. Miller but we |
trust he will come through in fine

has ever been.
In closing the big vault door at
the close of business, last Friday,
some one in the employ of the First
National bank inadvertently made a
mistake in setting the time clock and
the result was the vault could not be
opened at. the usual time to begin bus-
iness on Saturday morning. In fact it
became necessary for the Frst Nation-
al to borrow money from the Belle-
fonte Trust company with which to do
business until the time clock ran its
course, which. happened to ‘be 10:30
o'clock, when the big vault was open-
ed and. everything became normal

On Tuesday Mrs. Howard Barnes,
her son, Homer P., and daughter, Mrs.
Daisy Henderson, moved from the
home they have occupied for many
years into their new home on east
High street, recently purchased from
Mrs. H. A. McKee. Henry Cobb and
family, who formerly occupied the
house, moved across the county park
into the house vacated by Mr. and
Mrs, Manning.
Among the Sick.
James O. Heverly has been housed
up this week with a severe case of!
the grip. :
Mrs. William Nighthart has been
confined to bed the past ten days as
the result of a bad attack of influ-
enza.
John L. Nighthart suffered a se-
vere attack of vertigo last Thursday
and has been confined to bed ever
since.
A. Clyde Smith, who has been un-
der treatment which necessitated his
being in bed for the past six weeks, is
improving rapidly and anticipates be-
ing able to be about the house next
week.
Earl H, Stock, principal of the
Bellefonte High school, is in a very
serious condition in the Bellefonte
hospital. He was not feeling well all
last week and unable to teach. On
Monday he went out to the High
school but felt so badly that he did no
work. On Wednesday his condition
became so serious that he was taken
to the Bellefonte hospital where an
operation was performed. His condi-
tion was found to be even more ser-
ious than apprehended and while he
has a fighting chance he is a very sick
man and his mother and sisters have
been summoned to his bedside.
——D. Wagner Geiss, who has the
contract for carrying the mail be-
tween the postoffice and the railroad
station, put in service this week a
truck to take the place of his horses
and wagon. The truck was built out
of his old Buick runabout, and is large
enough to haul the mail under ordin-

amount at the following business |
places: Mott Drug company, Hazel |
taurant and Runkle’s drug store.
-——Members of the Centre county
Automobile Dealers’ association held
a meeting at the Bush house on Tues-
isfaction was expressed with the way
the show was conducted. While a
number of sales were made by some
of the dealers during the four days of
the show every member is satisfied
that the cost of the show was money
well spent in the advertising they got.
It was voted to hold another show
next year and so well pleased was
everybody with the managerial ability
of W. C. Rowe that they took an op-
tion on his services for the 1924 show.
——Once again a movement has
been started by citizens throughout
Bald Eagle valley in the interest of
the improvement of the main public
road by the State Highway Depart-
ment. The Bald Eagle road is the
short course between Bellefonte and
Tyrone, as well as points further west
and residents of this place are just es
anxious as anybody to have the road
improved, but so far as can be learned
no decided action will be taken this
year toward rebuilding it into a state
highway. In fact some time ago it
was announced that no new work will
be undertaken in Centre county this
year. The present state highways will
be maintained, however, and the Bald
Eagle road may be temporarily im-
proved, but there is little hope of it
being concreted or macadamized.
— Wesley Howe Schwartz, the
veteran editor of the Altoona Tribune,
will retire from that paper tomorrow
and will be succeeded by Albert O.
Vorse, who the past year or so has
been chief of the publicity bureau of
the State Department of Forestry.
Editor Schwartz has been connected
with the Tribune since 1881, or for
forty-two years. He is a facile writ-
er, a staunch advocate of prohibition
and a dyed-in-the-wool Republican.
Any man nominated by the Republi-
can party was sure of Editor
Schwartz’s support because of his sub-
lime faith in the party and its princi-
ples. But his active work has come to
an end and the “Watchman” hopes he
will enjoy the well deserved rest from
his arduous labors. Mr. Vorse, his
successor, got his newspaper training
in Philadelphia and for several years
was in charge of the publicity news
again.

A Bed of Lime-Marl Discovered in
Pennsvalley.
A bed of lime-marl, the first ever
discovered in this section of the State,
agent J. N. Robinson on the farm of
Mrs. John Mohr Otto, of Aaronsburg,
on what is known as the Coburn farm
located two miles east of Spring
Mills, a farm inherited by Mrs. Otto
from her grandfather, Dr. Charles Co-
burn, and which has been in the fami-
ly for more than one hundred years.
When Mr. Robinson discovered the
lime-marl deposit he communicated
the find to Prof. Dickey, of State Col-
lege, who investigated it and analyz-
ed the sample, notifying Mrs. Otto
that it is a very desirable asset and
can be used by farmers to great ad-
vantage and profit.
The deposit is fresh water lime-
marl, is four feet three inches in
depth and covers about an acre of
ground. Lime-marl is the purest form
of calcium carbonate in the natural
form, and gives excellent results the
first year of application. It consumes
moisture, thus proving a good agent
in dry seasons; and will eradicate
weeds and sour grass which always
thrive on acid soils.
It is a great natural soil builder and
crop provider. It will not burn out the
humus in the soil and destroy the
ammonia content like the kiln-burned
lime, but will give quick results, larg-
er crops and permanent benefit. Lime-
marl is best applied with a lime
spreader, though most any kind of a
seed drill can be used, as it is of a
loose, grainy nature and easily han-
dled. :
The bed on tne Otto farm will be
developed this spring and Centre
county lime-marl will be put on the
market. Farmers are advised to keep
in touch with the developments and
give this new kind of fertilizer a thor-
ough try out.
A Striking Object Lesson.
The First National bank of Belle-
fonte has just issued a striking object
lesson in the value of money.
The institution has been sending out
Russian Rubles with the following
pointed comment.
“This is a note of the Russian So-
cialistic Federated Soviet Republic.
Please observe the inscription “Guar-
anteed by the entire resources of the
Republic.”
Before the war this note represent-
ed $50,000 actual value. It is now
worth two cents.
As Thomas Jefferson has said, “pa-
per money is only the ghost of money !
and not money itself.”
It is only good when it represents
. real wealth; something which man has
worked for and has saved. Every dol-
lar printed should be protected by its
equivalent in real wealth.
The paper currency of the United
States is thus protected. Back of it
is value, dollar for dollar.
Printing presses cannot create val-
ue; that is. something beyond the pow-
er of governments.
“Entire resources of the Republic”
sounds big, but means nothing.”
The Soviet has destroyed all value
in the Strickland | & Co. dry goods store, Colonial res- 'in Russia, just as Anarchism and rad-
icalism would do in this country if
they could get their destructive hands
on the government.
Labor and industry are all that cre-
ate wealth and money is only valua-
ble in so far as its issue expresses the
wealth created by them.
Will Organize Chapter of DeMolay.
At the last meeting of Constans
Commander Knights Templar, of
Bellefonte, a resolution was passed
assuming the duty of organizing a
Chapter of DeMolay in Bellefonte. A
board of advisors was appointed with
past grand commander Wilson I.
Fleming as chairman. Considerable |
money has been pledged, application
has been made for a charter and it is
quite possible that the Chapter will be
constituted some time during the
month of April. The name of the new
organization will be the Penn-Centre
Chapter Order of DeMolay.
The organization is sponsored by
the Masonic order and is designed for
boys and young men between the ages
of 16 and 21 years. Although the or-
der is only a little over two years old
almost one thousand Chapters have
already been organized in the United
States with a membership running
close to half a million. So far only
two Chapters have been instituted in
Pennsylvania, but each one has a |
membership exceeding one thousand. |
Boys and young men within the age |
limit prescribed above, from all parts
of Centre county, if acceptable, will |
be taken into the Chapter now being !
organized in Bellefonte. }
|
One Hundred Per Cent. Compliance. |
It gives me pleasure to announce to !
the public that through the splendid
co-operation of the patrons of the |
Bellefonte postoffice in the placing of |
a slot in the door or providing some
other receptacle for the receipt of
mail, that I can report one hundred
per cent. compliance with the recent
ruling of the Postoffice Department.
This co-operation on your part will
result in greater efficiency and more
prompt handling of the mail.
I wish to call your attention to the
fact that your mail slot or receptacle |
is not to be used for outgoing mail, as |
street letter boxes have been provid- |
ed for that purpose and are placed at
convenient points; nor should they be
used by concerns for the disposition of
advertising matter, as they are for
United States mail only.

one of the new forest maps of the State
and in discussing their work a bit we were
not long in discovering that both men took
it very seriously and are well informed as
to its economic value. They talked schools
and roads too in a way that revealed to us
the fact that these men who are isolating
themselves in the mountains of the State,
so that lumber, game and water supplies
may be assured coming generations, are
keeping abreast of current affairs and have
very sound ideas.

—Mr .and Mrs. Charles Thompson, of Le-
mont, were in Bellefonte yesterday morn-
ing, having motored down to send their
little daughter Betty to Williamsport on a
morning train. As the train was an hour
late and the little lady bad an engagement
to join her aunt, Mrs. Sellers, in Wil-
liamsport, for a trip to Philadelphia, the
party had to motor on to Lock Haven in
order to make connections there.
—The celebration of a birthday anni-
versary will be the occasion of the gather-
ing of most of the members of Mrs. Mar-
tin Fauble’s family at her home on east
High streét tomorrow. Mr. and Mrs. Irvin
O. Noll of Lansdowne, arrived Wednesday
evening. Mr. and Mrs. W. E Seel, of Pax-
tang; Mr. and Mrs. KE. F. Tausig, of Har-
risburg, with their own and the little
daughters of the late Mrs. Houseman, of
Steelton, arrived yesterday, while Joseph
Fauble will arrive from Columbus, Ohio,
tomorrow. We are not informed as to
what anniversary tomorrow’s home-com-
ing will celebrate but if our guess were
based on Mrs. Fauble’s activity and keen
possession of her faculties we would sur-
mise that it is one of the early sixties.
