Credit for having the best sam- ple of milk in the farm product show at Harrisburg goes to Mayes and Con- fer, of Howand, Centre county. The sample placed first in Class S with a score of 98.7 degrees. This score is 50 per cent higher than the best score in class A which was 98.2 per cent, giving it high score in the show, which contained approximately seventy exhibitors.

Motion Picture and Circus License Ordinance Passed First Reading. Louis Hill appeared before borough council, at its regular meeting cn { Monday evening, and requested an’ ' adjustment of water tax on his gar- ! age on east Bishop street, which was | referred to the Water committee. | Secretary Kelly read an invitation from the Logan fire company to mem- bers of council to attend their annual banquet on Thursday evening, Feb- .ruary 12th. A communication was received from the secretary of the State Fed- eration of Boroughs notifying coun- cil that the annual meeting will be held on February 10th and 11th. Pres- ident Walker appointed as dedegates to attend the convention W. J. Emer- ick and Harry Flack, the burgess and borough solicitor also being entitled to attend. The Street committee reported that the principal work done during the past two weeks was hauling snow off the street. The water committee reported that an equitable adjustment had been made of the water taxes against the nine months, the owners agreeing to pay fifty per cent of the tax. The question of an increase in the pany for the Phoenix mill property has been up for discussion at several opinion being that the borough was | entitled to a better rental, an in- matter was referred to the Water committee and borough solicitor. An ordinance providing for the licensing and regulation of theaters, motion picture houses, open air per- formances, hawkers, circuses, carni- vals, ete, passed first reading and was referred back to the borough so- licitor for a few minor charges. The ordinance provides that all theatres and motion picture houses shall pay a license of $50 a year; open air per- formances, hawkers, and tent per- formances from $5.00 to $10.00 per day; circuses exhibiting outside the borough limits but advertising in the borough and giving a street parade, from $25 to $50, and carnivals, $5.00 to $10.00. Another provision is that such theatres, motion picture shows, circuses or carnivals shall be requir- ed to employ one or more persons as special officers to maintain order, preserve the peace and protect the public as the occasion may require. The burgess is empowered to grant or refuse licenses at his own discre- i tion. The ordinance will come up at . the next regular meeting for final ! reading. : i+ Mr, Badger stated that -a number of taxpayers were complaining about ! the uselessness of hauling the snow off the streets, which they character- ized as a waste of money. Borough manager Seibert maintained that the work was not useless but practically a necessity, and council sustained his stand in the matter. | Bills to the amount of $1857,563 . were approved for payment, after which council adjourned. | i No Inter-County Bridge for Philips- burg. The viewers appointed by the i courts of Cenire and Clearfield coun- | ties to pass on the question of build- ling an inter-county bridge over the | Moshannon creek, at the end of Pine street in the borough of Philipsburg, met in the latter place last Saturday morning to hear testimony for and against the project. | Centre county viewers were H. B. Shattuck, of State College; L. E. Swartz, of Hublersburg, and M. Ward i Fleming, of Philipsburg. The Com- missioner’s attorney, S. D. Gettig Esq., was present with Commissioner Austin and Clearfield county was rep- resented by John Scollins, H. A. Recse and J. S. Michaels as viewers and A. M. Liveright Esq. represented their Commissioners. Much testimony was offered in sup- port of the need of a permanent strue- ture to replace the flimsy wooden one now in use and maintained, by popu- Jar subscription, but the viewers evi- ' dently thought that the boroughs of . Chester Hill and Philipsburg should | bear the expense of a new one, if they | want it, for they voted five to one . against it. And unless they build it themselves | Philipsburgers will have to be content with the old bridge. Little Hope of a Decision in Bank | Case Before March. | The Supreme court of the United States having adjourned until March little hope of an opinion in the Centre County bank case being handed down before that time is entertained here. | We understand that the Court ad- journed to afford opportunity of dis- posing of the cases already argued before it. Through continuous daily sittings the tribunal has little time to devote to the preparation of opinions, all of which must be exhaustively pre- pared, consequently occasional ad- journments are necessary in order that the Justices can give their undi- vided attention to the work. | It sometimes happens, not often however, that during an adjournment, the court will reconvene for half a day to read the findings it has made up to the moment. Should it do this during the present adjournment, and have the local case decided, it might be handed down before the regular sittings are resumed in March, but that probablity is not great. Mrs. E.

Among the state highway bids to be opened at Harrisburg today for the awarding of contracts are those for 46,214 feet on route 245 in Snyder township, Blair county, and Taylor and Worth townships, Centre county, and 83,502 feet on route 197 in Boggs, Union, Huston and Worth townships, and Unionville borough, the entire stretch of the Bald Eagle Valley road from the present state highway at Snow Shoe Intersection to connect with the highway at Bald Eagle. Bids will also be opened tomorrow for the construction of 11,378 feet on route 27 in Centre Hall borough, Pot- ter and Spring townships, which is ‘the road over the Nittany mountain. If awards are made for the above it will mean considerable state road work in Centre county this year and a consequent demand for workmen and ground limestone, which will nec- essarily improve business conditions in this section. Nix for Mr. Groundhog. We know for an absolute certainty that if all groundhogs in creation had come out of their winter’s burrow and taken a peep on Monday morning not a single one of them would have been his shadow as reflected by the sun, because for a certainty no sun was visible either early in the morning or during the day. Of course we are not at all super- stitious, nor do we believe in signs to any great extent, but groundhog or no groundhog, we believe the crest of the winter has been passed and an early spring is due. As a rule we generally have about two months of real winter weather, with a total snowfall approx- imating three feet. Cold weather set in early in December, and with the exception of a few mild days, has con- tinued until the present time. The to- tal snow fall to date has been well onto three feet, so that we have had almost the normal amount of winter and snow and an early spring will be in line with the general routine of na- ture. ——John M. Keichline Esq., will deliver a lecture on “Patriotism” at the regular meeting of the Bellefonte camp Patriotic Sons of America, in their lodge rooms in the Potter-Hoy block this (Friday) evening, at 8.30 o'clock. John Planko, KILLED BY DINKEY ENGINE. Gilbert Newman, Milesburg, Meets Death at Chemical Lime Co. Plant, Tuesday Evening. Gilbert Newman, a well known young man of Milesburg, was instant- ly killed at the plant of the Chemic- “al Lime and Stone company, in Buffa- lo Run valley, about eight o’clock on Tuesday evening. He was braking on the stone train and while riding on the ' front end of the dinkey engine slipped | and fell, the engine passing over his body, which was badly mangled. The engine was piloted by Walter Cath- | cart, and he did not see Newman fall and his first knowledge of the horri- | ble accident was derived from the bumping of his engine as it passed i over Newman’s body. The latter was "dead when picked up. The young man | had worked for the Chemical company i only a short time, having gone there when a night shift was put on several weeks ago. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- i liam Newman and was born in Miles- burg twenty-three years ago. He was married last June te Miss Emma Dyke, of Milesburg, who survives, i with no children. He leaves, however, his parents and the folloing brothers . “and sisters: George, of Milesburg; | Margaret, Susan, Catherine, Pauline, _ Luther, Mary, James, Helen, Charles, | Pearl, Donald and Blaine, all at home. | Funeral services will be held in the . Presbyterian church, at Milesburg, at {two o'clock this (Friday) afternoon, by Rev. Crost and Rev. Piper, after . which burial will be made in the Trez- ; iyulney cemetery. Big Game Preserve Opened in Centre County. The State Game Commission an- nounced on Monday the opening of a new game preserve in Centre county. It is located in Rush, Taylor and Worth townships and includes 8,690 acres. It is forty miles from any other game preserve in this part of the State. the State for the land was $23,460.12. The largest acreage was purchased from the Christ Sharer estate, the heirs of which are widely scattered and numerous defects found in some of the titles. In fact it took five years to get everything straightened out and the deal consummated, the price paid the heirs being $12,278,33. The next largest landholder was John Kel- ly, of Port Matilda, who received $6,944.53; N. B. Spangler, of Belle- fonte, was paid $1,099.06, and the Centre Game preserve $3,007.03. About 2,500 acres out of the heart of the 8,690 acres tract will be set aside as the refuge wherein hunt- on the remaining portion of the lands surrounding the refuge legal hunting will be permitted. This tract of land is on the head- waters of Cold Stream, a tributary of the Moshannon, and is particular- ly well watered. The tract purchased extends along the Allegheny moun- tain ridge between Bald Eagle valley and the Moshannon and between two State highways crossing the Alleghe- ny mountain, one from Philipsburg to Port Matilda, the other from Osceola Mills to Tyrone. There is a good growth of trees and shrubs suitable for game and bird food.

Just as the people look for the circus every summer, so do the chil- dren, both big and little, look for the yearly coming of the greatest car- toon comedy ever conceived by mor- tal mind, “Bringing Up Father” by George McManus. The presentation for the current season is entitled “Bringing Up Father in Ireland.” As usual with these productions, it will be entirely new in every particular. Readers of the Sunday “Funny Page” often wonder how McManus keeps it going year after year with something new in the way of fun every week. Likewise does it keep him busy pre- paring new stunts for the living char- acters of “Jiggs and Maggie” for their yearly stage play. “Bringing Up Father in Ireland” looks to be one of the most popular of the seemingly endless series. The play presents no intricate problems or situations. Itis just plain fun from beginning to end; a play for the masses. At the Moose Temple theatre, Tuesday evening, February 10th.

The annual dinner given by the American Lime and Stone company to its local officers, superintendents, fore- men and general office employees was served at the Nittany Country club last Thursday evening. | The guests, numbering sixty or more, were able to get to the club only after a truck load of employees had | devoted the afternoon to shoveling a road through the snow for them. Once there the affair resolved itself into a merry family party that made every | moment of the five hours they tarried register strong in enjoyment. i After the elaborate banquet Charles . Warner, president of the company, | was drafted for a speech and his hap- py talk, with a gracious little acknowl- ‘edgement by general manager Shall- "cross of the insistent calls for him, ended formalities, so that the rest of the evening was given over to danc- “ing and other diversions. The Nittany Nine, famous Penn State orchestra, and Kennedy, Thes- | pian dancer, were the imported enter- tainers.

Aplin, who the past three years has filled the position _of general sccretary of the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A., terminated his service with that institution on Saturday; not be- cause of any desire on the part of ‘the board of directors to make a change or any dissatisfaction over Mr. Aplin’s management, but solely because the present financial condi- tion of the association compels re- trenchment. Mr. Aplin came to Bellefonte from Philadelphia three years ago last month, after the Association: building had been remodeled and during his term of service labored hard and earnestly to build up the Association onto a paying basis and while he didn’t succeed he came nearer doing so than probably any other man could have done. His entire term of service at the Y. has been one of conscientious christian fortitude. The unfortunate circumstances which made it neces- sary for him to terminate his service are naturally to be deplored, but it is a commendable fact that in so do- ing it is to the regret of all concerned and Mr. Aplin has the best wishes for his future success wherever he may finally locate. At present however, he has no de- finite plans for an immediate change from Bellefonte. He is figuring on several lines of christian work but it ‘will probably be some weeks before | they will develop. In the meantime he will assist in religious work in Centre county, expecting to give all of next week to a revival meeting in Miles- burg. | A Lost Triumvirate. In the field of christian endeavor this community has been fortunate, in the past few years, in having three men of unusual ability in their chos- en work. All of them young, full of enthusiasm and leaders in every local | undertaking with eyes single to the ! harvest that might be brought to the | granary of the Master. | ~ One of them left Bellefonte last week. Another departed on Wednes- day. Before many more weeks are | gone the third will have transferred part of the time since her step-daughter | his talents to other fields. Of course there is passing regret —A. F. Hockman, one of the largest com- | among the intimate friends of each of | these men, but does the community at | large realize the public loss. As rec- tor of St. John’s Episcopal church, | Malcolm DePui Maynard; as pastor of | St. John’s Lutheran, Wilson P. Ard, as general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Stephen S. Aplin, have been a tri- umvirate in the spiritual and social life in Bellefonte that will scarcely be replaced. All with personalities that appealed specially to youth, with en- thusiasms that knew no bounds in the work they would do and gifts of ex- pression so fine as to make them com- manding before any audience they are, indeed, types, possibly thought- lessly lost, only to be seriously regret- ted. No more convincing proof to us is needed than was the sight of that fine group of coming men of the town who followed Rev. Maynard to the train when he left on Wednesday. Who will cultivate the seeds he had undoubted- ly sown in the rich soil they afforded. Mrs. M. C. Haines, of Rebers- burg, and H. H.
