FARM BUREAU HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING.
! Name Changed to Centre County Ag-
| ricultural Extension Association.
A representative crowd of Centre
‘county farmers attended the annual
meeting of the Farm Bureau at the
. High school building last Saturday.
‘In the absence of the president, Mr.
J. M. Campbell, Mr. John G. Miller
was-chosen as chairman of the meet-
ing. Following the reading and adop-
tion of the minutes of the last meet-
ing treasurer W. C. Smeltzer read his
report which showed the finances of
the Bureau to be in a satisfactory
condition. County agent R. C. Bla-
ney submitted a very comprehensive
report of his work during the past
vear, which covered every line of
farming activity, and which met with
the approval of all present.
For some time past considerable
confusion has been caused throughout
the several counties in the State be-
tween the Farm Bureau as represent-
"ing the extension department of State
{ College and the Farm Bureau Feder-
ation. The extension department has
taken a neutral stand in the matter
i and decided to change the name to the
! Agricultural Extension Association.
‘In order to conform with the other
| counties in the State the matter was
| brought up at Saturday’s meeting
and by a strong majority vote the
name was changed from the Centre
| County Farm Bureau to the Centre
County Agricultural Extension Asso-
‘ciation. No other change was made.
| The organization will continue the
! same as under the old name, with an
| executive committee of thirteen rep-
| resentative farmers from different

It Is Now Judge Dale.
In what is regarded as a purely per-
sonal appointment Governor Pinchot .
commissioned Arthur Dale Esq., yes-
terday morning, to serve as President
Judge of the courts of Centre county
until January 1st, 1926, when who-
ever may be chosen at the polls next
November will take the bench for the
full term of ten years.
Judge Dale is the only son of the
: late Clement Dale Esq. After having
read law in his father’s office and com-
pleted his studies at a law school, he
was admitted to the bar in 1917. He
| had just started his practice when he
entered the service for the world war
and remained in the army until the
fall of 1918 when he returned home,
not having been overseas. He was as-
sociated with his father in practice
until he was elected to the office of
District Attorney, last fall, on the
Democratic ticket, with the Prohibi-
tion endorsement. He is thirty-five
years old, the youngest man who has
ever presided over a Centre county
court.
As we have said the appointment is
evidently purely a personal one on the
. part of the Governor. He knew Mr.
Dale well and commissioned him not-
withstanding a petition from the Cen-
i tre ounty bar urging the appointment
i of Harry Keller Esq. All of the lead-
| ers in the Republican party in Centre
county favored Mr. Keller and the
{only known political worker in the
county who is said to have urged Mr.
Dale’s appointment was Miss Rebec-
i ca Rhoads, president of the W. C. T.
U.
| However this may be he has come
! into a very great honor and opporiu-
. nity. He is a pleasing young gentle-
' man, a hard worker and doubtless will
bend every effort to administer the

tion of officers for the ensuing year
will take place.
——Bellefonte Kiwanis, at its reg-
ular meeting at the Brockerhoff house
on Tuesday evening, entertained at
dinner the members of the Academy
and High school football teams. The
speakers were the coaches of the two
teams. :
——The Catholic Daughters of
America will hold a combination ba-
zaar and food sale in their rooms over
Lyon’s store, Friday evening, Satur-
day afternoon and evening, December
12th and 18th. The patronage of the
public is solicited.
——Fire in an ash barrel in the
rear part of Max Kalin’s shoe store,
on Tuesday evening between six and
seven o'clock, called out the fire de-
partment but the flames were extin-
guished with the chemical apparatus
before any particular damage was
done.
Miss Hannah M. Gates, who
has been a patient in the Centre coun-
ty hospital almost a year as the result
of a stroke of paralysis, was removed
last week to the comfortable home of
Mrs. Mary Kane, at Roopsburg, where
she is sure to receive the very best
care and attention.
——The young people from this
county who are students at The Penn-
sylvania State College will go home
for the Christmas vacation on De-
cember 19 and 20. The vacation will
last until January 6. Every Pennsyl-
vania county is represented in the
Penn State student body this year.

and eight o’clock last Thursday even-

——Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Kline,
who sustained a loss of two thousand
dollars in the fire at the Gross block
last week, are deeply grateful to the
Academy students and the people of
the town generally who worked so
valiantly in saving a portion of their
household goods from the burning
building. '
The First National bank is
opening its Christmas savings fund
account for 1925 and invites deposit-
ors to take advantage of the same.
Weekly deposits from fifty cents up
can be made and it approximates a
tidy. sum during the year. The bank
officials will cheerfully furnish any
information desired.
& ~——Joseph Bertram is just complet-
“ing a modern cow barn on his Spring
creek dairy farm. It has concrete |
“floors and troughs, metal stanchions
.zand litter carriers and right up to the
Hast requirement in ventilation and
light. It will cost Joe something over
- $4000, but he doesn’t care for that.
He wanted a good barn and is going
“to have it.
~emLast Friday Henry Gross drove
D. Wagner Geiss’s horse and wagon
up on Bunker Hill, delivering parcel
post matter. He stopped the horse
and got out of the wagon to deliver a
package and as he stepped onto the
wheel to get into the wagon some
pigs in a nnarby pen began to squeal,
the horse jumped and Henry was
thrown into a wire fence, sustaining
several bad cuts on his hands and face.
—Mr. W. F. Rishel was the only
Centre county farmer who participat-
ed in the showing of the carload of
Berkshire barrows that won first prize
money and the blue ribbon at the re-
cent Chicage live stock exhibition.
Competing in an exhibit of fifteen car-
loads of all breeds the Pennsylvania
farmers who contributed barrows to
The Pennsylvania State College for
preparation for the show have won a
notable victory.
William Baker, of Mifflin coun- |
ty, made his escape from Rockview !
tive committee to be selected by these
{ officers. Any farmer or person inter-
| ested in agriculture is eligible and
| considered a member of the associa-
| on, without dues, and should show
| his interest in the agricultural de-
: velopment of the county by taking an
iactive part in helping to formulate
i the policies to be carried out by the
county agent.
| It is the duty of the executive
committee to take care of all
| financial ‘arrangements for the exten-
sion representative, such as an office,
office equipment, secretarial service,
transportation, etc. They also assist
the county agent in planning his pro-
‘gram of activities and act as leaders
in their respective communities. The
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year:
President, N. I. Wilson, Storms-
town.
i Vice President, J. M. Campbell,
Pennsylvania Furnace.
Secretary, J. Will Mayes, Howard.
Treasurer, W. C. Smeltzer, Belle-
fonte.
At the afternoon session brief talks
were made by M. S. McDowell and E.
B. Fitts, of State College. The latter
talked on dairy improvement and
stated that Centre county has one
cow testing association with twenty-
six membnrs. There are 12,568 cows
in the county, and if all of them were
as good as the 6,500 belonging to the
members of the cow testing associa-
tion it would mean big money to all
COW OWNeErs. :
THE FARM PRODUCTS SHOW.
The farm products show held in the
armory in connection with the annual
meeting of the farm bureau was the
biggest and best held since the show
' was inaugurated four years ago. Ap-
ples, poultry, eggs, corn, wheat, oats
and potatoes were included in the ex-
hibits, and there were enough of them
‘to make a really wonderful showing
by Centre county farmers, notwith-
standing the fact that the past season
was none of the best for fruits or
|
farm produce of any kind. Exhibits
were placed by the following persons:

J. C. Bullock Injured at Hollywoed.
Mrs. W. P. Ard this week received
word that her brother, J. C. Bullock,
was badly injured in an auto accident
at Hollywood, Cal.,, the day after
Thanksgiving. The young man was
piloting a car in the auto races at the
big bowl at Hollywood and in making
a preliminary tryout early in the
morning ran into a wire that work-
men had unthinkingly left hang across
the track. It caught him on the neck
and cut a gash that required forty-
two stitches to close. While his con-
dition has been serious, it is believed
that he is now on the way to recov-
ery.

Rev. Maynard Tenders Resignation.
Rev M. DePui Maynard has tender-
ed his resignation as rector of St.
John’s Episcopal church in this place,
for the purpose of accepting a call
from the Episcopal church at Ridg-

gregation of the local church have not
yet taken any action we feel assured
that they will be loath to grant the
request.
——Everybody knows that Holly-
wood is located near Los Angeles,
Cal., and the best pictures coming out
of the motion picture studios located
there are shown at the Scenic. All
movie fans should be regular patrons
of this popular place of amusement,
as that is the only way to see them
all. Something big on every night's
program is the motto of manager T.
Clayton Brown, which accounts for
the Scenic’s large patronage.

appoint his District Attorney is
: at this writing.
MR. KELLER’S STATEMENT.
! When interviewed after the ap-
pointment was announced, Mr. Keller
i had the following to say in reference
Ito it:
“Following the very sad and regret-
table death of Judge Quigley, many of
my friends strongly urged that my
name be proposed to the Governor for
the temporary appointment to the va-
cancy. While I at no time filed any
application with the Governor, I am
i frank to say that I esteemed it a great
honor: that so many friends shouid,
entirely of their own volition, suggest
that I be named to serve until the peo-
ple of Centre couny might have an op-
portunity to express a preference at
the polls. It was the privilege of the
Governor to appoint the one of his!
choice and he has exercised that priv-
‘ilege. Mr. Dale having been appoint-
ied as our Judge in Centre county,
| should, in the discharge of his official
{ duties, be accorded the fullest co-op-
| eration of the several members of the
! bar, and he certainly will have mine.”
| “I desire at this time to make pub-
lic announcement of my candidacy for
the Republican nomination for Judge
at the primaries to be held in 1925, thus
i placing my cause in the hands of the
i'people of Centre county.”

Heating Plant at Hospital to be In-
stalled at Once.
The boilers for the improved heat-
ing plant at the Centre County hos-
pital have arrived in Bellefonte and
will be put in place as soon as possi-
ble. They will be erected in the laun-
dry building which, when built, was
designed as a combination laundry
and boiler room. When the new boil-
ers are installed and connections made
the old boilers in the basement of the
hospital will be removed.
The board of trustees have decided
not to continue building operations on
the new wing during the winter. The
foundation walls, which have been up
for some time, will be covered to pro-
tect them from the weather and work
on the building will not be started be-
fore next spring.

The Green and White Revue.
The dates for the Green and White
Revue have been set for January 6
and 7. You all remember the many
hearty laughs the audience had over
the entertainment provided by the
town’s fairer sex last year.
This year there will be eighty-five
girls in the Revue. They promise
better minstrelsy, more attractive
dancing and daintier costumes.
Keep the dates in mind and remem-
ber that the proceeds will be given
toward the support of the community
nurse, a cause certainly worthy
enough to command the patronage of
all.

Bellefonte Chapter, D. A. R.
The place of meeting of the Belle-
fonte Chapter, D. A. R. this month
was the University Club, State Col-
lege. Six State College members
were hostesses, and the evening’s sub-
jet for discussion, “Schools Assisted
by D. A. R.,” was presented by Mrs.
Edward M. Frear, wife of the Rev.
Edward M. Frear, rector of the Epis-
copal church of State College.
Through the witness of both ear
and eye the “raison d’etre” of the sev-
eral southern schools was fully attest-
ed and their assistance amply justi-
fied. Hearing what Mrs. Frear told of
the schools one could not be surprised
at seeing the excellence in work ex-
hibited, some from Crossnore, N. C.,
and some from Berea, Ky., beautiful
bedspreads, pillowcases, many useful
' articles.
Besides the work from the schools
, there were, too, knitted scarfs, made
: by disabled veterans of the world war,
many of them one-armed men.
Two of the schools discussed—Pan-
assee Industrial school, S. C., and the
Kate Duncan Smith school, of Grant,
Ala.,—were founded by the D. A. R.
and are wholly supported by them.
Berea College, Ky., the Berry School,
Ga., and Crossnore, N. C., receive as-
sistance from the D. A. R.
The local Chapter proved itself tru-
ly interested in the educational enter-
prise by voting, at this December 4th
meeting, $25.00 to the Berry School;
$25.00 to the Industrial school at
Washington, Pa.; $10.00 to Crossnore,
N. C. (where Miss Margaret Humes,
of Jersey Shore, is a teacher) and,
then, $5.00 for the purchase of the
“original Penn charter of Liberties.”
American Legion Buys Sebring Home.
Announcement was made this week
that the Brooks-Doll post of the
American Legion have closed nego-
tiations for the purchase of the prop-
erty on east Howard street, recently
the home of the late John Sebring, as
a permanent home for the post. The
building is of stone and contains four-
teen rooms. By remodeling the in-
terior it can be made into a very com-
fortable and adequate home for the
world war veterans, who for several
years past have been quartered on the
second floor of the Centre County
bank building.
The price paid for the Sebring
home is given as $6,000. Several
years ago the post put on a drive to
raise funds for the purchase of a home
and as a result of that drive has in
the neighborhood of $3,000 on depos-
it in the Bellefonte Trust company
which can be used toward the pay-
ment of the property purchased.
