Letter Relating to the Public School
Savings Department.
$1.50
Following is a letter mailed to ap-
proximately 1500 school boys and girls
living in this banking community,
who deposit their money in the Public
School Savings Department of the
Bellefonte Trust Company:
“The good school days, for this
school year, have closed never to re-
turn. You have been a very good pu-
pil and have done the very best you
could. Sometimes you thought your
lessons were very hard, but your good
teacher always helped you to under-
stand your lessons. You have suc-
ceeded. You are looking forward to
the day when you will complete your
High school course of study. A very
good idea. Keep on looking ahead
and prepare to enter some good, re-
liable college and fit yourself with a
four-year course, college education.
You will then be a very good citizen
of these United States of America. It
will take money to do all this. We
want YOU to help yourself and WE
want to help YOU. You can work
during your school vacation and earn
money. Please do not spend it fool-
ishly, but save it. You can deposit
your money in the Bellefonte Trust
Company, in the Public School Sav-
ings Department, every Wednesday
just the same as you did at school.
We shall be pleased to have you come
to the bank or you can mail it to us.
We would prefer to have you come to
the bank so that we can get better
acquainted with you.
“Kindly show this letter to your
parents and talk to them about it. We
know they are proud of you and shall
be very glad to help youu We want
to tell you what three little girls of
the Bellefonte schools did. They
saved enough money to buy stock of
the Bellefonte Trust Company. You
can save money, too. Let's try.
“Will you not, please, write us a
little letter and tell us that you are |
going to EARN, SAVE and DEPOSIT
your money in the Bellefonte Trust
Company? We are sending you a
stamped envelope so that you can
write to us.
“You have our best wishes for your
happiness and succes.
Very courteously,
N. E. ROBB,
. Treasurer.”
Note—Many responses have been
received to this letter of which the
~ following from school boys is a fair
sample:
“] am going to save up every penny
I get, put it in the bank, and not
spend it for candy, peanuts, cracker-
jack, chewing gum, and all sorts of
things like that.”
Another reads:
“Your kind and encouraging letter
received. I thank you for your good
like the Trust Company. If I had a
thousand dollars I would put it right
in your bank. I thank you for writ-
ing me such a nice letter. I am just
a little boy—8 years old; but some
day I will get big, and if I am good
and do as you advise I may also be
Ber in a bank, like you, Mr.

Safe and Sane Proclamation.
“Safety first” should be kept in
mind when attempting to celebrate
the Fourth of July. A “safe and
sane” observance is respectfully
requested. No fire works nor dis-
play of any description will be
tolerated within the limits of the bor-
ough of Bellefonte except on Friday,
July 4th, and then only in the most
careful and moderate way. Confine
this business to one day only.
“Safety first.” Numerous fires of
a very expensive character have been
started by the reckless use of fire
works; many accidents have happen-
ed; annually we hear of men, women
and children being maimed for life;
many deaths occur from the use of
these explosives.
Merchants! If you have a supply
of these seemingly innocent crackers
and other devices for use only on July
Fourth, you are now respectfully re-
quested not to sell them until July
3rd, 1924, and then only by caution-
ing the purchasers that the use of
them is strictly prohibited until July
Fourth, and on that one day only.
Parents! Be on guard every mo-
ment of the day and see to it as far
as possible that no damage is done to
property, also caution those in your
household to be careful, very careful,
so that no accident may occur nor a
life be endangered.
Given under my hand at Bellefonte,
Pa,, this 16th day of June, A. D. 1924.

EDWIN ERLE SPARKS.
The very sudden and unexpected
death of Dr. Edwin Erle Sparks, at
his home at State College on Sunday,
was naturally a shock to his many
friends as well as the community at
large. While it had been generally
known that he had not been a well
man for weeks past as the result of
neuralgia of the heart he had appar-
ently been no worse than usual on
Saturday. In fact he made no com-
plaint on Sunday morning, during
which he spent several hours in his
study writing letters. At one o’clock
he failed to respond to the summons
to luncheon and members of his house-
hold on going to his room to investi-
gate found him lying across the bed.
The college physician, hastily sum-
moned, stated that he had probably
been dead two hours. A heart attack
was the cause. During the past two
weeks Dr. Sparks had taken a number
of motor trips to different sections of
the State, delivering high school com-
mencement addresses, and the fatal
attack was probably the result of this
extra exertion. His last public ap-
pearance at the College was on Friday
morning when he talked to the county
farm agents and extension staff in
conference at that place.
The sad feature of his death was
Mrs. Sparks’ absence in California
where she was on a special tour of the
State Federation of Pennsylvania
Women, while his only daughter, Mrs.
Carvel E. Sparks, was at her home in
Pedricktown, N. J. The latter reach-
ed the College on Monday morning
and Mrs. Sparks, being notified at
San Francisco of her husband’s death,
started for home as soon as she could
arrange to do so.
Dr. Sparks was a son of E. F. and
Jane (Erle) Dodd Sparks and was
born in Licking county, Ohio, on July
16th, 1860. He graduated from Ohio |
State University in 1884, was an as-
sistant professor in history at the
same institution one year then taught
in the public schools of that State un-
til 1890 when he accepted a professor-
ship at State College. In 1895 he
went to the University of Chicago as
professor of American history where
he remained until called to the chair
as president of State College in 1908.
At that time the College had a stu-
dent enrollment of eleven hundred
students but it had passed through its
formative period and was entering up-
on a cycle of expansion which has de-
veloped rapidly during the past sixteen
years until it has attained rank with
the leading educational institutions in
the country.
Without detracting from Dr. Sparks
it can be said in all candor that the
foundation of what the College is to-
day was laid during the presidency of
the late Dr. George W. Atherton, and
succeeding him within a very short
time Dr. Sparks very ably carried on
the work already begun, contributing
in a great measure to its present suc-
cess and high standing.
During his administration agricul-
tural land extension and the county !
The first |
agent work were started.
farmers’ week was held and speciali-
zation of courses in agriculture ac-
complished, the school of liberal arts
was organized, a mining engineering
course established, experiment sta-
tions and extension work in both min-
ing and engineering were started, and
the college health service was organ-
ized.
New permanent buildings erected in
the twelve-year period included four
engineering, three agricultural, one
chemistry, one liberal arts and one
mining structure. More than 900
acres were added to college farms and
the faculty grew from 119 to over 500,
{including extension members. Of
advice, and will try and follow it. I
course all of this was made possible
through more liberal appropriations
on the part of the State and federal
governments.
Dr. Sparks was an orator who had
the faculty of pleasing his audience
and was much in demand as a public
| speaker during the war period. In
fact the demands upon his time and
energies were so great that his health
became somewhat impaired and as
early as 1917 he asked the board. of
trustees to accept his resignation. He
was prevailed upon to stay and given
a leave of absence instead, but in 1920
he suffered a general breakdown and
it was at that time he was succeeded
by Dr. John M. Thomas and was re-
tained in the position of president
emeritus. Since that time he has
been a special lecturer for Freshman
classes in American history, and dur-
ing the past two years has traveled
extensively through the south and
west in the interest of the Phi Kappa
Phi honorary scholastic fraternity, of
which he was regent general.
In addition to his college work Dr.
Sparks was the author of a number of
books and essays dealing principally
with American history. He was also
a frequent contributor to periodicals
and magazines, and always in demand
on the lecture platform. He was a
member of the American Historical
Association, the American Academy
of Politcial Science, American Civics
Association, American Archives Com-
mission, director of the Illinois His-
torical Society and a corresponding
member of the Chicago Historical So-
ciety.
In 1890 he married Miss Katharine
Cotton, at Portsmouth, Ohio, who sur-
vives with one daughter, Mrs. Carvel
E. Sparks, of New Jersey.
Funeral services will be held on
Saturday morning at 11 o’clock in the
College auditorium. President John
M. Thomas will conduct the services,
assisted by the Rev. Samuel Martin,
pastor .of the State College Presby-
terian church. Plans for the inter-
ment have not been made.

'P. 0. S. of A.-Had Big Time in Belle-
fonte Saturday Night.
Bellefonte had within its environs
on Saturday night more Patriotic
Sons of America than were ever seen
here at one time. Various estimates
place the crowd at from 800 to 900,
and it is just possible that the number
was in excess of those figures. The
‘occasion was the conferring of de-
grees on about six hundred new mem-
bers, but as they came from various
lodges throughout the county the ex-
act number attached to each organiza-
tion could not be ascertained.
The first impressive part of the
gathering was a big parade at 7:30
o’clock. It was led by the Harry
Copping shows band and included the
Bellefonte Camp drum corps and the
I. 0. O. F. band. The Bellefonte
Camp was out in full, with represen-
tative delegations from other county
camps, as well as the hundreds of
novitiates.
The meeting
in the armory was
Elmer C. Williams pronounced the in-
vocation then the work of conferring
the degrees was put on by the Hunt-
.ingdon degree team and orchestra,
reputed to be one of the best in the
State. Following the initiation the
‘ presiding officer introduced Col. H. S.
i Taylor, who made a very significant
address of welcome, which was re-
sponded to by J. Laird Holmes, of
i State College.
Brief but interesting addresses
were made by Judge Henry C. Quig-
of Clearfield; Hon. Gabriel H. Moyer,
of Lebanon, national president; W. H.
Long, of Hanover, State inspector;
Clarence H. Silknitter, of Huntingdon,
State master of forms, and Rev. Ro-
mig, of State College.
The P. O. S. of A., through their
recording secretary, Harry A. Ross-
man, wish to thank the burgess, bor-
: ough council and police force for their
careful consideration and assistance in
handling the crowd and taking care of
the parking of automobiles on Satur-
day evening.
SCHOOL TEACHERS
TION WORK.
Three Pennsvalley school teachers
have accepted summer employment as

are J. L. Hackenberg, principal of the
' Millheim schools, who is a member of
the Aaronsburg camp; W. O. Heck-
| man and T. L. Moore, of Centre Hall.
Last week Mr. Moore conducted a
campaign at Spring Mills with big
success and on Monday both he and
| Mr. Heckman went to Tioga county
where they will conduct a campaign.
‘Mr. Hackenberg went to Bedford
' county last Saturday where he will be
engaged for some days.
With the Bellefonte Camp having
passed the four hundred membership

Blair County Auto Races Drew Big
! Crowd.
Sixty thousand people, among them
| many Centre countians, witnessed the |
| auto races in the big wooden bowl at
i Tipton, last Saturday. The estimated
gate receipts were between $150,000
and $160,000 and prizes aggregation
$22,500 were paid to drivers.. Jimmy
Murphy drove the 250 miles in 2
hours, 11 minutes and 2 seconds, and
won first prize, $9,000. Fred Comer
drew down second money, $4,500; An-
toine Mourre third, $2,500 and Robert
McDonough fourth, $1,750.
prizes totalling $4,750 were paid to
drivers who stayed in the race until
it was called off on account of rain.
Jerry Wonderlich, driving a Durant
special, miraculously escaped death
when his machine blew a tire on the
160th lap, turned turtle and finally
landed upside down on the soft ground
of the safety zone. Wonderlich was
either thrown out or jumped and at
first was reported killed but later
it developed that he had only sus-
tained a slight concussion of the
brain, sprained ankle and leg and a
number of body bruises, but his in-
juries are not considered very serious
and he will likely be out of the hos-
pital within a week.
Lindenmuth—Haines.—The home of
Mr. and Mrs. John Black, in Clear-
field, was the scene of a pretty wed-
ding, at eleven o’clock on Wednesday
morning of last week when Mrs.
Black’s youngest sister, Miss Martha
Louise Haines, was united in marriage
to Luther M. Lindenmuth, of Allen-
town. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Dr. Reeve, of the Presbyterian
church, and there were no attendants.
The house decorations of honeysuckle
and lilac were beautiful and appro-
priate. Following the ceremony a de-
licious wedding breakfast was served
after which Mr. and Mrs. Linden-
muth left on a brief wedding trip. The
bride is a daughter of Mrs. M. H.
Haines, formerly of Bellefonte, and
spent most of her life here. She is a
graduate of the Bellefonte High
school and up until recently a stenog-
rapher in the offices of the American
Lime & Stone company. II». Linden-
muth is a graduate of State College
and now holds a good positicn with
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company in New York c'ty,
where they will make their futu.e
home.
——Mr. William R. Phillips, gener-
al manager of the local American
Lime and Stone enterprise, is quite ill
at his apartments in the Bush house.
His condition was quite alarming dur-
ing the fore part of the week, but lat-
est reports are more reassuring.

An Appeal for Help.
To the friends of the A. M. E.
church in Bellefonte.
Dear Friends:
The pastor and officers of the A. M.
E. church in this community have
come to the ministers to take coun-
cil about the financial affairs of their
church.
After making a canvass of the con-
gregation, they find that they can
raise about $1200.00, which leaves
them facing a deficit of $500.00. The
ministers feel in full sympathy with
our friends in the A. M. E. church,
and desire to assist them as much as
possible.
We, therefore, recommend Rev. W.
T. Watson and his officers, who are
making a personal canvass of the
community. We trust that they will
be able to discover the full amount in
the liberal hands of the people of this
place, who surely appreciate the good
work done this year.
All money is to be paid to Mr.
James H. Potter, the treasurer of
this fund.
E. E. McKELVEY, President.
FRANK B. HACKETT, Secretary.
