SER I ES
HOME ECONOMICS
IN CENTRE COUNTY.
Women and Girls’ Clubs Make Gar- !
ments and Study Cooking
and Canning.
Home economics work is becoming
popular in Centre county. At present
the clothing work seems to make the
greatest appeal to women and girls.
Work of this type with the girls has
been organized in Hublersburg, with

Tuesday Night.
it took one hundred and ten covers
to accommodate the Bellefonte Kiwa-
‘nis and ladies at their dinner at the
Bush house on Tuesday evening, which
‘was held as a celebration of Educa-
Mrs. Vonada as the leader of a club |
of nineteen members. The girls are
working on aprons, the first problem
in their clothing club work.
Girls’ clothing is divided into three
parts, as follows: First, serving
apron, hemstitching problems, under-
garments, and stocking darn; second,
slip, hemming of a towel or napkin,
combination, and middy blouse or
over blouse; third, making of a cot-
ton or woolen garment, making of a
kimona or child’s dress or rompers,
and sponging and pressing.
The aim of the work is to develop
the technique of plain band sewing
stitches as applied in the construction
and repair of garments and to develop
neatness and accuracy.
Work has been organized in Re-
bersburg with both the girls and womi-
en interested. Mrs. Mary Abbott is
the leader for each group. The girls’
club has seventeen members and with
the aid of Mrs. Flora Limbert and
Mrs. Abbott a group of twenty-five
women are doing clothing work. The
parts, as follows: First, undergar-
ments; second, children’s clothing;
third, giving the women fitted pat-
terns, giving them instructive talks
and demonstrations and making one
dress each from the fitted pattern.
Under instructive talks and demon-
strations are included: How to esti-
mate, how to cut, and how to finish
collar 2nd cuffs for dress. How to eut
and put on bias binding. How to
make round buttonholes and set-in
pockets, and the use and making of
suitable decorative stitches for gar-
ments.
At Spring Mills twenty-five women
have organized with Miss Emma
Watts, instructor in the Vocational
school, as their leader, and are work-
ing on the third part of their clothing
work. Many of them will be ready to
wear their new spring frocks by the
last of February. They will have had
work in lines and color. In color the
aim is to develop a knowledge of fun-
damentals of color schemes. The ob-
ject of choosing color is to enhance
and bring out beauty and express
personality. In choosing color, the
color of the eyes and hair and the
complexion are considered,
In dress design the aim is to make
the stout lady look slim and the slim
lady pleasingly plump. This is easier
than the present fad of dieting.
In food work for the women are in-
cluded: Food selection and prepara-
tion, meal planning, canning demon-
strations and hot school lunch. In
household. management, kitchen ar-
rangement and 6 conveniences, and
household accounts ars included. The
girls in their part of food work have
canning clubs, bread clubs, ood selec-
tion and preparation clubs, meal plan-
ning, preparation and serving clubs.
Any girl between the ages of twelve
and eighteen years may become a
member of a club, and each club must
have at least five members. It is
preferable if the girls organize a club
of their own and elect a president,
treasurer and secretary. <
The Keichline Business Has Change
Hands.
Wednesday afternoon Charles °C.
Keichline sold his cigar and confee-
tion business. to Robert Roan, who
took charge of the business yesterday
morning, with Edward Garbrick back
in his old position as chief clerk. The
sale included the building as well as
the business.
Mr. Keichline has no definite plans
for the future. It is his intention,
however, to sell his home, corner of
High and Thomas streets, if a satis-
factory offer is made and locate tem-
porarily, at least, in Florida, where it
is hoped that escape from the rigors
of our winters will restore Mrs.
Keichline’s health.
The dropping of the Keichline name
from the roster of Bellefonte’s busi-
ness men is another step in the all too
rapid passing of the old Bellefonte.
For years it has been associated with
the town’s business activities and been
responsible for the building of a clean,
always inviting store where quality
and courtesy were matters of first im-
portance.
Two property changes of inter-
est to those in Bellefonte, is that of
the William A. Lyon home, on east
High street, purchased by Mi. and
Mrs. Mark Williams, who will get
possession of it the first of April. The
second is the “Last Resort,” which
since being sold a few months ago by
Miss Valentine and conducted under
the name of the “Tavern Inn,” has
now been bought by Miss Mary Ders-
tine, who is already in charge. Mrs.
Derstine’s reputation as a good cook
is so well established in Bellefonte
that an increase in the popularity. of
the tea room is already assured.
——=Sheriff E. R. Taylor on Sunday
got four new boarders from Philips-
burg. They were John Hart, charged
with possessing and transporting in-
toxicating liquor; James Leitzell,
charged with defrauding a boarding
house keeper, and Homer Johnson and
Grace Eckley, committed on an adul-
tery charge.

was present and furnished music and
the vocal selections were in charge of
Cecil Walker, R. Russell Blair and the
Kiwanis quartette.
Rev. Wilson P. Ard, having resign-
ed as president of the club, Prof. A.
H. Sloop was elected to succeed him,
and presided at the gathering. Three
new members were taken into the
club, Mr. Riden, an instructor in the
Bellefonte High school who has been
chosen Scoutmaster to take the place
of Rev. M. DePui Maynard, who is
shortly to leave Bellefonte; S. M.
Shallcross, superintendent of the
American Lime & Stone company, and
Homer P. Barnes. W. Harrison Walk-
er was elected a trustee to succeed
Mr. Sloop, who resigned when elected
to the presidency.
The prize of the evening was award-
ed to Mrs. John B. Payne, and con-
sisted of a cross-word puzzle book and
dictionary. The arrangements for the
minstrels to be given by the Kiwanis
as a means of assisting the under-
privileged child are progressing satis-
factorily, and the entertainment will
likely be given some time next month.

Harnish and George
Starting New Industry.
Smith
In the what was the machine shop
of the old Titan Metal ‘Co. plant at
Milesburg, John T. Harnish and
George Smith, operating as the Miles-
burg Novelty Co., are about to throw
the lever over and start the wheels of
a new industry in this community.
Without blare of trumpet or pleas
for bonuses to start an industry these
gentlemen have been building and in-
stalling machines for the past six
weeks and are about ready to start
the manufacture of sucker and flag
sticks, skewers, ete., on a large seale.
Graudally they expect to broaden out
into production of a full line of nov-
elties in wood.
Mr. Harnish will have supervision
of production, while Mr. Smith will
go on the road as salesman for the
output. He will be remembered as
the gentleman who bought and ran
Hecla Park for a season or so several
years ago and, after selling it, went
back to his work with the Bell Tele-
phone Co., in Michigan. Having re-
signed this latter position he comes
back to Centre county to take up an
entirely new line of work.

Bellefonte Girls Can Play Basket Ball.
Many basket ball fans are adverse
to going to a game between girls be-
cause they consider it a tame affair,
but any such who saw the game be-
tween the Bellefonte High school and
Lock Haven Normal girls, at the Y.
M. C. A, last Friday evening, got
plenty of action for their money. The
local tossers startéd off with a rush
and rolled up a score of 18 points in
the first half to 8 for the visitors. At
the cpening of the second half Lock
Haven bobbed up serenely with a rush
that added 7 more points to their
string while the Bellefonte girls were
held entirely on the defensive. In the
last quarter, however, the girls of
both teams uncorked an extra supply
of pep and shooting baskets was about
‘the only thing there was nothing else
but. Twelve more points were chalk-
ed up for Bellefonte and just an even
half dozen for the visitors, and when
the final whistle sounded and the giris
were given a chance to preen their
feathers the score stood 30 to 21 for,
Bellefonte.
This (Friday) evening the girls will
play the Philipsburg High girls in the
Y. M. C. A. gym. Last year Philips-
burg was defeated after a hard tussle
and an effort will be made to turn the
trick again this year. Game will be
called promptly at eight o’clock.
The boys’ team will have two league
games this week, at Huntingdon this
(Friday) evening and Mt. Union to-
morrow night.
‘Alleged Enforcement Officer Arrested
for Evading Board Bill,
- Last Friday's Lock Haven Express
said that “L. D. Quick, an assistant
state enforcement officer who, with
Willis L. Howell, has been active in
the prosecution of alleged liquor vio-
lators in this section recently, was
placed under arrest at noon today at
the Hotel Russell by county detective
W. H. Myers on the charge of de-
Mrs. Rebecca Nolan, of
Bellefonte, out of a board bill amount-
ing to $45.
“A warrant for Quick’s arrest was
sent to detective Myers this forenoon
by chief of police Harry Dukeman, of
Centre county, who stated that he had
previously sent the warrant to sheriff
Hanna. Mr. Dukeman declares that
he was informed by sheriff Hanna
that the Clinton county official did not
care to serve the warrant, at least not
for a few weeks. Quick settled the
claim, with $7.50 additional in costs.”
Mr. Quick is a resident of Miles-
burg and his action in the above case
is not very creditable for a man in the
employ of the State.

' BIG BARN BURNED
ON SATURDAY NIGHT. |
Horses and Cattle Perish in Fire on |
Sheriff Lee Farm in Gregg
Township.
One of the most disastrous barn
fires that has occurred in Centre coun-
ty in years took place Saturday night
on the ex-sheriff Arthur B. Lee farm
in Gregg township, probably better
known as the Duck farm. Three
horses, one mule, eleven milk cows,
six head of young cattle, one calf,
over three hundred bushels of grain,
all the hay and straw and practically
all the farm implements went up in
smoke.
The farm was tenanted by John
Condo and family, all of whom had
gone to Spring Mills to do some shop-
ping and spend the evening. When
the fire was discovered about nine
o’clock by neighboring farmers the
fire was breaking out through the roof
of the barn, and the first arrivals at
the scene of the conflagration found
‘| the entire interior of the barn a rag-
ing mass of flames so that it was im-
possible to save anything. The live-
stock had already perished and as
there was no means of fighting the
fire all that could be done was stand
by and watch it burn and keep the
flames from communicating to the
house and other outbuildings.
The hog pen and corn crib, as well
as the chicken house, stood some dis-
tance away from the barn and these
were saved. But a large shed attach-
ed to the barn, in which most of the
farm implements were stored, was
burned.
Mr. Lee carried some insurance on
the barn but not nearly enough to
cover his loss.
but it, also, was not ‘enough to cover
the amount of his loss. The barn, of
course, will be rebuilt as early in the
spring as possible.
First National Bank of Bellefonte
Makes Splendid Showing for 1924,
The annual meeting of the share-
holders of the First National bank of
Bellefonte, was held in the banking
house on Tuesday, January 13th.
These annual meetings are held fer
the election of directors to serve for
the ensuing year and for such other
business as requires action by the
shareholders.
All the members of the present
board were re-elected, as follows:
Charles M. McCurdy, W. Fred Rey-
nolds, George M. Gamble, Charles C.
Shuey, Henry S. Linn, James C. Furst,
Thomas B. Beaver, David Dale. The
board then organized by electing
Charles M. McCurdy, president; W.
Fred Reynolds, vice president; James
C. Furst, secretary. James K. Barn-
hart was made cashier and C. E. Robb,
assistant cashier.
President McCurdy presented to the
board a statement showing the results.
of the past year, the most successful
in the long history of the bank. The
report showed a: substantial increase
in -all depattments, and earnings in
excess of any previous year.
There was an increase of $83,000.00
in deposits and of $165,000.00 in total
resources, the latter now being more
than $2,300,000.00. Fifty thousand
dollars were added to the surplus
fund, making the amount $225,000.00,
which, with the profit and loss account
of $40,000.00, makes a total surplus
of $265,000.00; more than double the
bank’s capital of $125,000.00, placing
it among the strongest institutions of
the country.
During the year the bank added a
Trust department, having been grant-
ed the full fiduciary powers of a Trust
company, and it is now’ prepared for
any business requiring the exercise of
such powers.
Milesburg Baptists to Help Build ‘a
New Church at State College. °
Tentative plans that have been’
forming for some time with a view to
the erection of a Baptist church at
State College have now taken more
definite form and the funds are being
raised with which to carry out the
project.
Some time ago Dr. Clarence Ad-
ams, of State College, presented the
need for a church at the College,
where there are many students of the
Baptist denomination, to the congre-
gation at Milesburg. It was so ims
pressed with the spirit to help that at
the last business meeting $200 were
voted to help with the work.
A committee has been appointed
and reports will be received this Sun-
day. Subscriptions will also be tak-
en at the services and it is expected
that the amount will be covered in
pledges and cash. A committee has
been appointed to canvas the Baptist
residents of Bellefonte for their as-
sistance.
Evangelicals Will Dedicate New
Room Sunday, January 25th.
The new Sunday school room re-
cently erected by the Evangelical
church of Bellefonte, and about com-
pleted, will be dedicated on Sunday,
January 25th. The senior Bishop of
the church, Dr. S. C. Breyfogel, of
Reading will be the officiating minis-
ter. Services will be conducted by
the Bishop during the forenoon
and evening and a platform meeting
will be conducted during the after-
noon, the program for which will be
announced later. The public will be
given ample opportunity of inspecting
a modern Sunday school room, as well
as cordially invited to attend the ded-
icatory services.

Unknown Austrian Falls Into Creek.
On Sunday evening, about eight
o’clock, several boys discovered a man
lying with his legs in the water of
Logan branch, just below the railroad
trestle near the C. Y. Wagner mill.
They summoned Curt Gingery, who
lives in the Mallory property, and
with his assistance dragged him
out of the water. He proved to be an
Austrian and had evidently fallen
from the railroad trestle into the
stream and then succeeded in drag-
ging himself partly up on the bank of
the stream. His clothing was frozen
stiff and not knowing what to do with
him Mr. Gingery summoned sheriff
Taylor, who took the man to the jail,
“but realizing that his condition was
such as to require medical treatment,
summoned the ambulance and had him
removed to the hospital. The man
can talk very little English and aside
{from the fact that his first name is
| Louis, could give the hospital author-
ities little information about himself.
He suffered principally from expos-
ure.
From a copy of the “Watch-
man” dated January 26th, 1883, which
was handed us on Tuesday we note
i the announcement that the late W. L.
! Malin had just severed his long con-
nection with the Western Union Tel-
egraph Co., and joined the Central
Pennsylvania Telephone and Supply
Co., which was then just starting and
later became a strong unit in the Bell
system. We were amused at another
article telling of the competitive ex-
amination for appointment as cadet
from this Congressional district to the
West Point Academy. Among the
nine who took the examination was
one, Harry Keller, “eldest son of Col.
D. S. Keller, about sixteen or seven-
teen years old and a very bright boy.”
Of course “the very bright boy” was
