NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
—The barn on the George Hack-
enberg farm, near Rebersburg, was
burned to the ground on Wednesday
morning, with all its contents.
Mrs. Susan Lyons, who has
made her home with Miss Josephine
and Miles Decker on Spring street,
since last June, was taken to the hos-
pital, on Monday, for medical treat-
ment. ’
——The Catholic Daughters of
America will hold a card party in
their rooms New Year's Eve. Game
will begin at 8:30 o’clock. The pub-
lic is cordially invited. Admission,
25 cents.
——1In accordance with the custom
inaugurated last year the Brockerhoff
house dining room will be closed all
day on Christmas in order that every
one connected therewith can have as
much time at their homes as possible.
With winter’s icy blasts swirl-
ing around the Dim Lantern, near
Runville, that old Ford truck used by
W. H. Garman as his daily connection
with Bellefonte has been put in stor-
age and he now rides back and forth
in an Essex coach purchased last
week.
——The United States Supreme
court adjourned on Monday without
having handed down a decision in the
Centre County bank case. It will re-
convene on January 5th and while it
is possible that an opinion might be
filed : before that time it is not very
probable.
——A little daughter was born to
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Ward, at their
home in Cleveland, Ohio, last Friday
night. The new papa is a son of Mrs.
J. E. Ward, of Bellefonte, and she is
probably just as proud of being
grandma for the first time as her son
is on being a father.
Word was received at Howard,
on Tuesday, from Philadelphia that
the second operation performed on
Dr. W. J. Kurtz, on Monday, resulted
in the successful removal of a tumor
which has caused all his trouble. He
came through the operation in such
good shape that the physicians have
every hope of a permanent recovery.
——While most people still have a
lot of Christmas shopping to do don’t
overlook the fact that the Scenic is
doing business at the old stand every
evening during the week. The big
programs of motion pictures being
shown there every evening will not
be repeated and if you miss seeing
them now you’ll never have another
opportunity. The Scenic will be just
the place to spend your evenings dur-
ing the Holidays.
——What is believed to be chicken
flu or pleuro-pneumonia is playing
havoc with flocks in various parts of
the State, particularly Lycoming
county. According to reports the dis-
ease gets in its deadly work in short
order, entire flocks being wiped out
within twenty-four hours. Up to this
time no reports have reached county,
farm agent Blaney of an outbreak of
the disease in Centre county, and it is
to be hoped that all the chickens in
this section of the State will escape
the flu. ;
Lyman L. Smith has sold his
business at Centre Hall and William
Shoop has resigned his position as
head clerk in Fauble’s store, Belle-
fonte, to take effect the first of the
year, and shortly thereafter both gen-
tlemen, accompanied by Peck Snyder
and a Mr. Holmes, of State College,
will leave for Florida. They are all
going with the intention of remaining
there if they like the place and can i
locate advantageously but failing in |
the latter they will return to Centre
county.
Announcement was made from
Harrisburg last Thursday of the dis-
missal from the State service of El-
mer E. Davis, former assistant depu-
ty warden at the western penitentiary
at Rockview. It will be recalled that
Mr. Davis about two months ago shot
and killed a man at Lewistown and is
now under bail for appearance before
the Mifflin county court to answer to
the charge of murder. Following the
trouble at Lewistown Davis was
suspended from duty at Rockview and
.moved to Altoona.
——The attention of Christmas buy-
ers is called to a consignment of the
thread laces, made by the women of
India, on display at the William Hou-
: ser home on Water street. Thread is
provided these Hindu women through
“the missionaries, who also put on the
-market their work, which is in all
practical designs. These laces were
originally for the Lutheran bazaar
last week, but arrived too late, conse-
quently the public is still given an op-
portunity for securing the beautiful
productions at a very reasonable cost.
. — Before leaving Penn State for
the holiday vacation undergraduates
were advised that a mid-year
class of 100 additional Freshmen
will be admitted to the college
at the beginning of the second’
semester arly in February. This
group of new students is to replace
those of senior rank who are to be
graduated on February 10th, and to
take the place of students of other
classes who have withdrawn during
the first semester. The usual en-
trance requirements are necessary for
admission. Application blanks may
be secured from W. S. Hoffman, regis-
trar, State College, Pa.
AGRICULTURAL COMMISSION
VISITED CENTRE COUNTY.
Seeking Information to Present to the
Next Legislature.
Reduction and equalization of taxes
and decentralization of government,
especially as they relate to the public
schools are two of the things Centre
county has requested to be urged up-
on the next Legislature when it as-
sembles in Harrisburg early in Janu-
ary. These presentations were made
to the Pennsylvania commission of ag-
riculture which visited Bellefonte on
Monday and held a brief meeting in
the grand jury room in the court
house.
The members of the commission are
Senator Horace W. Schantz, of Allen-
town, chairman; W. Albert Haines,
Bristol, secretary; Charles W. Sones,
Williamsport; Frederick W. Culbert-
son, Lewis own; Mrs. Martha G.
Thomas, Whitford; George W. Wil-
liams, Wellsboro; Oscar D. Stark,
Tunkhannock, and Albert Reim, Beth-
lehem. As the commission sits in only
certain districts in the State represen-
tatives were here from the following
counties: Tioga, Lycoming, Snyder,
Clinton, Potter, Clearfield, Cameron,
Elk and McKean. County extension
agent R. C. Blaney was in charge and
a number of Centre county people at-
tended the conference.
Various questions were brought up
and discussed relative to reduction of
taxes, schools, assessments, roads and
marketing conditions. Opinions were
asked for and freely given and there
was general unanimity in the senti-
ment that the present rate of taxation
is too high for the returns secured.
Among the solutions offered was de-
ment at Harrisburg and greater au-
thority delegated to local boards.
Several instances were cited where
for road work and school supervision
when local authorities could have se-
cured much better results at about !
fifty per cent. of the expenditure.
A more equitable taxation for school
purposes throughout the county was
also advised. In Centre county today
taxation runs from 8 mills in some
districts to 45 in one. Nine districts
have a tax of 35 mills while the aver-
age is 21. Protest was entered against
the consolidation of schools unless the
State helps bear the expense of erect-
ing ‘the new school houses that would
be the result. Redistricting the town-
ships was suggested as a better meth-
large sums of money were expended |
od. Another question discussed was |
the urgent need of another assistant’
county superintendent as the county is
too large to be adequately covered by
the county superintendent and one as-
sistant.
A big question confronting Centre |
county is the large amount of State- |
owned land which is free of taxation.
It was the general sentiment that this
land should be taxed and help to bear
the burden of local government, thus
relieving the load on the shoulders of
the general public.
Commissioners’ attorney S. D. Get-
tig discussed the present law relating
to escaped convicts from the Rock-
view penitentiary, which so far has
proven very costly to Centre county,
as costs aggregating thousands of
dollars have never been paid by the
counties to which such escaped prison-
ers are accredited.
The commission was urged to sup-
port legislation favoring the appro-
priation of more money for the eradi-
cation of tuberculosis in cattle herds.
Regarding damage done on farms by
deer and other wild animals it was
suggested that this be taken care of
by sportsmen’s associations.

Centre Countians Contribute to Bond
Issue and Campaign Fund.
Contributions to the forest bond is-
sue campaign fund of the State Con-
servation council have been made by
the following organizations and indi-
viduals in Centre county:
United Sportsmen of Pennsylvania,
of Pleasant Gap; State College Con-
servation Association, of State Col-
lege; Col. Theodore Davis Boal, of
Boalsburg; Professor J. A. Ferguson,
of State College; Philip Foster, of
State College; John H. Mokle, of
Howard.
To date the total contributions from
Centre county amount to $76.00. The
fund is being raised by the Conserva-
tion council to tell the public why the
State should float a loan of $25,000,-
000 to buy 3,500,000 acres of forest
land to enlarge the present State for-
ests. .
Officers of the council expect sul
stantial donations to the campaign
fund from other clubs, sportsmen,
and interested persons in the county.

Methodist Home, at Tyrone, Be-
queathed $50,000.
Starting life as a breaker boy Wil-
liam A. Phillips, who died recently at
‘his home at Mt. Carmel, left an estate
estimated to exceed one million dol-
lars, $550,000 of which was left to
charitable and philanthropic institu-
tions. Among the bequests were
$50,000 for the Methodist home for the
aged, at Tyrone; $50,000 to Williams-
port Dickinson Seminary; $10,000 for
the Wesleyan. Foundation, at State
College, and $10,000 to Dickinson Col-
lege, Carlisle. :
Arthur C. Dale Sworn in as Judge of
Centre County. :
Arthur .C. Dale, appointed by Gov-
ernor Pinchot, on Thursday of last
week, as president judge of Centre
county to succeed the late Judge Hen-
ry C. Quigley, was sworn in in open
court at ten o’clock on Saturday morn-
ing. The oath of office was adminis-
tered by the Recorder of Centre coun-
ty, Lloyd A. Stover. Several dozen
persons were present to see the new
judge take the oath, including four
members of the bar, though most of
the attorneys entered the court room
after the judge had taken his seat
upon the bench. Just as Recorder
Stover concluded reading the oath the
judge’s wife entered the court room
with a bouquet of carnations which
she presented to her husband.
Judge Dale’s first official act was to
announce that Register Harry A.
Rossman desired to offer his accounts
for confirmation nisi, but that because
of the sudden death of Judge Quigley
he had withdrawn the advertisements
from the newspapers after they had
been published three times, and he
asked all attorneys interested to waive
filing exceptions because of that fact.
Two attorneys questioned their right
to waive exceptions but Mr. Keller
stated that to readvertise them would
mean additional expense and he fail-
ed to see any reason why the accounts
couldn’t be confirmed. Other attor-
neys withdrew their objections and
the accounts were confirmed nisi.
Mr. Gettig presented several legal
papers for the judge's endorsement
following which court adjourned.
The judge’s first official action on
‘leaving the bench was to inform Miss
| Winifred M. Gates that her services
centralization of power in the govern- :
as official stenographer would no
longer be required, and on Tuesday he
issued an order appointing Miss Cath-
erine Hartle official court stenogra-
pher.
Judge Dale will continue to occu-
py his offices in the Cohen building on
High street until the first of next
April when he will move into the
judge’s chambers in the court house.
During his eleven months term as
district attorney Mr. Dale handled an
unusually large number of cases of all
kinds, including the famous Musser
murder case in which he secured a
conviction of second degree murder.
All told he handled forty-eight cases
that had to do in one way or another
with a violation of the liquor laws.
Eight of the cases were against men
for operating motor vehicles while un-
der the influence of liquor. Of the
eight five of them plead guilty on the
advice of their attorneys, the bill of
indictment against one was ignored
and two were found “not guilty.”
Of the forty other cases twenty-
three plead guilty, one bill of indict-
ment was ignored by the grand jury,
seven were nolle prossed, five verdicts
of “not guilty” were returned and one
conviction secured by a jury trial.

Cemetery Name Has Been Changed.
Jean Hall, of Unionville, was in
town on Saturday and informed us
that the board of managers of what
has been known as the Dix Run ceme-
tery decided to change the name of :
that burial place and in accordance
with an action taken on Saturday, De-
cember 6th, it will hereafter be known
as the “Ook Ridge” cemetery.
Because the burial plot lies west of
Unionville and that borough uses, on
occasion, the cemetery east of it Un-
ionville has always regarded the Dix
Run cemetery as the “upper ceme-
tery,” while residents along Dix run
have designated it as the “lower cem-
etery” because they have another
north of it further toward the Alle-
ghenies.
The new name, “Oak Ridge,” was
decided on so as to avoid all further
confusion, as to leeation, and in the
future it will be referred to as such.
