——The weather man made a
record on Tuesday morning, April
21st, when thermometers stood at 27
degrees above zero and the ground

vanced to be frozen.
—While regular spring weather
prevails the evenings are still cool and
long enough to spend indoors, and the
most interesting place in Bellefonte is
the Scenic. Two hours of excellent
motion pictures constitute the regu-
lar program and no amusement centre
offers more for the money. - Get the
habit and be ‘a regular attendant, thus
seeing all of the good pictures.
: —The Morgantown, W. Va., Post, of
* last: Saturday acclaims the production
of “Wooden Shoes” by the Penn State
Thespians, at the Strand theatre in
that city the night before, as “the
finest musical comedy offered the pub-
lic in a long while.” It also says that
“many of the best musical comedies
now being presented by professionals
would suffer much by comparison with
this show put on by a bunch of stu-
dents, all of whom are expected to
make the grade in their classes.”
——1In a story of “A Diary of 1822”
published in the “Watchman” under
date of April 3rd, we stated that the
home of William Fisher mentioned as
one of the stopping places of the an-
thor, Dr. William Bye, was at Union-
ville. In that we were in error. Wil-
liam Fisher did not then live in the
place so long identified as the Fisher
home just on the outskirts of Union-
ville. His first residence in the Bald
Eagle valley was in the old stone
house, just west of Snow Shoe Inter-
section, now known as the Boggs town-
ship poor farm.
——Miss Anne Linn Bright, whose
pictures of beautiful gardens she had
visited abroad and in America, were
shown in the Presbyterian chapel on
Monday evening, and which elicited
such favorable comment, is a de-
scendant of one of the oldest families
of Bellefonte, her grandfather, John
Irvin, having built and lived in the
stone house on High street now owned
by the local Y. M. C. A. Miss Bright
drove here from Lock Haven with her
cousin, Mrs. George S. Green, and
was entertained during her stay by
Mrs. Beach and Miss Blanchard.
——Feeling that a large number of
folks along the Tyrone division of the
P. R. R. will wish to avail themselves
of the opportunity of sending a con-
gratulatory telegram to General John
J. Pershing on the occasion of the na-
tional tribute to be paid him in New
York city on Saturday, April 25th, all
stations on the Division handling
Western Union telegraph business
will be equipped with special facilities
for the prompt handling of this par-
ticular business. The Western Union
Telegraph company has installed a
special telegraph’ wire in the Hippo-
drome in New York city, where the
national tribute ceremony will be
staged—for the handling of the tel-
egrams which it is believed will be
filed by members of the American Le-
gion, ex-soldiers and all public spixit-
ed citizens who will wish to thus hon-
or one of America’s greatest gen:
erals.

EXECUTED.
Borough Council Alse Passed Ordi-
nance Licensing Motion Picture
Theatres and Circuses.
Six members were present at the
reguiar meeting of borough council on
Monday evening, the absentees being
W. J. Emerick and Thomas Hazel. A
petition, signed by sixty-seven resi-
dents of east Howard street, was pre-
sented asking that that street be top-
dressed and tarred. Referred to the
Street committea.
The Street committee reported var-
ious repairs and the collection of $2.00
for sale of old material.
The Water committee reported that
work is progressing on the remodeling
of the pump house at the big spring
but the committee should have some
definite instructions before proceeding
much further. Mr. Cunningham
stated for the information of council
that the boilers are in such shape
that they would not stand a maximum
load of steam. That the two steam
pumps are in the neighborhood of
fifty years old and out-of-date. That
the base of the big stack is crumb-
ling away and is not in an absolute-
ly safe condition; and because of
these facts the committee recommend-
, ed the tearing out of the boilers and
all steam equipment and the purchase
and installation of a motor and elee-
tric pump as emergency equipment.
This will materially reduce the size of
the building and naturally lessen the
expense of construction. On motion of
{
|
mendation was approved and they
were authorized to do the work as
suggested.
The committee reported the col-
lection of $182.75 on the 1923 wafer
duplicate and that borough manager
Seibert had made a test of the water
pressure at the John Porter Lyon
home on west Curtin street, and it
registered 46 pounds.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that a number of the street
lights on Logan street had been out
for almost a week, notwithstanding
the fact that they had been reported
by the police.
The ordinance relating to the licen-
sing of motion picture theatres, cir-
cuses, etc.,, was read for the second
time and passed finally without a dis-
seenting vote.
The contract submitted by the Key-
stoné Power company for lighting the
streets of Bellefonte was also read
for the second time. It was also ap-
‘proved and ordered executed, every
| member of council present voting in
favor of it.
Mr. Cunningham called attention to
the utter disregard of the borough
parking rules and ordinance by a num-
ber of motorists and the matter was
referred to the Fire and Police com-
mittee.
Bills were approved to the amount
of $1395.94, after which council ad-
| journed.

Business Men Want Curb Market in
Bellefonte.
The Associated Business Men of
Bellefonte held their monthly meeting
at the Brockerhoff house last Friday
evening and among the questions
discussed was the advisability of hav-
ing the weekly band concerts this
summer. A special committee was
appointed, with W. H. Brouse as
chairman, to ascertain the desire of
the pubiic and also the possibility of
borough council giving seme financial
assistance.
A committee headed by H. C. Yea-
ger was instructed to have the band
pavilion repaired, lattice work put
on around the base and painted.
The association passed a resolution
opposing the granting of a certificate
of public convenience for the estab-
lishment of a bus line between Belle-
fonte and Tyrone, by way of Bald
Lagle valley, giving as a reason that
it would probably result in the curtail-
ment of train service on the Bald
Eagle Valley railroad, thus seriously
interfering with prompt transporta-
tion of mail service.
The agricultural committee, headed
by John B. Payne, brought up the
matter of the establishment of a curb
market on the Diamond during the
summer months, and the proposition
met -with the hearty endorsement of
the association. Mr. Payne reported
that he already has a number of farm-
ers and truck growers interested and
believed, if properly worked up, it
could be re-established on the old-
time basis, when from twenty to thir-
ty farmers attended the market two
days every week. The committee was
instructed to secure :the co-operation
of borough council and, if possible,
have the market opened about the
middle of May.

Nurses Commencement to be Held
Tuesday Evening, May 12th.
he first annual commencement ex-
ercises of the Centre County hospital
training school for nurses will be held
in the court house on Tuesday even-
ing, May 12th. Rev. William C.
Thompson, of the Presbyterian church,
will deliver the address to the grad-
uates, and a special musical program
will also be arranged. The graduat-
ing class includes five young ladies
who will have completed their three
years’ course, namely: Misses Pearl
G. Clevenstine, Alma M. Detwiler,
Faye G. Watson, Jane A. Keller and
Alta M. Yarnell. A reception will be
tendered the nurses following the ex-
ercises in the court house, but up to
this time the place has not yet been
definitely decided upon.
Mr. Brouse the committee’s recom-
Wilmer Crossley.
! On Thursday of last week C. D.
| Casebeer sold his jewelry store and
watch repairing establishment in the
Brockerhoff house block to Wilmer
Crossley, of Schuylkill Haven, who
took possession the same day. The
new proprietor is a veteran of the
world war, having been wounded at
Chateau Thierry, in France. Prior to
. enlisting for service he was a rail-
| roader, but the nature of his disabil-
‘ity prevented him from returning to
his job on the railroad. He secured a
clerkship in a jewelry store and later
was given a course in watch repairing,
engraving, etc., by the government, in
a school at Lancaster. He has just
completed the course and comes to
Bellefonte on his first business ven-
ture. Mr. Crossley is married and
will be assisted in the store by his
wife.
Mr. Casebeer has in view a trip to
California with a possibility of locat-
ing there, though it is not his inten-
tion to leave Bellefonte for several
months, at least. It is just twenty
years since he came to Bellefonte and
bought the jewelry store of the late
'F. C. Richard and during the inter-
vening years he and his wife have be-
come integral parts of the town.
| Their many friends will naturally re-
‘ gret to see them leave when they
| finally take their departure for Cali-
fornia, but the best wishes of all will
go with them.

Aged Lady Dispatches Snake.
Arthur Robb, of Coleville, dropped
in here Wednesday evening to trans-
act a little business. He is a grand-
son by marriage of one of the “Watch-
man’s” oldest readers, Mrs. H. F.
Spotts, of Unionville. - In answer to
our inquiry as to the health of the
good lady Arthur assured us that she

Many Beauties Among the Models.
With its famous models beauty
chorus the talk of the American show
going public, George E .Wintz’s na-
tionally acclaimed musical comedy,
“Models of 1925,” headed by Nyra
Brown, America’s foremost stage
beauty, and mirthful Johnnie Getz, the
monkey-man comedian, will come to
the Moose Temple theatre next Tues-
day evening, April 28th. This extra-
ordinary production is presented in
two acts and sixteen scenes, and each
of the latter represents a considerable

held in the American theatre.
How Much Can Your Team Haul?
One of the most interesting events
scheduled for the Farmer’s Field day
at State College in June promises to
be the horse pulling contest. So far
as our knowledge goes there has never
been such an event in Centre county.
This one will be conducted by the col-
lege and the Horse Association of
America, jointly. Any teams, farm,
dray, lumber, etc., will be eligible to
compete. Pulling in harness against
a dynamometer over a distance of 273
feet will be the test. The dynamom-
eter will record the maximum load
each team or single horse can haul
over the given distance. Such con-
tests are very popular in the west,
where owners of good heavy teams
are always interested in the load they
can draw.

STREET LIGHTING CONTRACT C. D. Casebeer Jewelry Store Sold to Junior Farmers Out to Make Record
| This Year.
The members of the Junior Farm-
er’s association of Centre county are
making preparations for one of the
biggest seasons they have ever had in
conducting their agricultural home
projects. The term project is used to
designate any practical farm activity
carried on by the student. Records of
labor, cost accounting, general care,
and educational data are kept on the
project in a standard note book. This
year the students of Centre county
will conduct a number of different pro-
jects, including the following:
1. Poultry:—Keeping hens for egg
production; raising and marketing of
chicks; hatching and selling day old
chicks.
i 2. Plant Production:—Truck grow-
ing; the growing of half acre of beans,
tomatoes or potatoes; the growing of
at least two acres of corn.
3. Fruit Production:—The plant-
ing and care of a two acre orchard;
the rejuvenation of the home orch-
‘ard; the planting and care of a }
acre of berries.
Through the co-operation of Mr. A.
F. Hockman, of the Hecla hatchery,
the boys have secured most of their |
chicks early and are now started with
their poultry work. The county su-
pervisor has just finished distributing
certified Michigan seed potatoes to all
parts of the county, to boys who will
conduct potato projects by planting
23% bushels of Michigan seed and 2%
bushels of home seed for comparison
study. To assist boys in getting a
start in potato growing and poultry
raising, the members of the Kiwanis
clubs of Bellefonte and State College
will sponsor the boys and finance the
projects. A sack of Michigan seed
containing 23 bushels will be given to
each boy, and in the fall he will re-
turn in potatoes, the money value of
seed received. In poultry, the boy is
financed to the extent of having the
business man pay one-half the cost of
one hundred day old chicks. The boy
returns in the fall broilers and eggs
for the loan.
At the close of the year there will
be a general round-up of all produce
from projects. This will be held at
the time of the general county farm
products show. Prizes will be award-
ed on the basis of quality of produce,
business methods, note book, and gen-
eral attitude of the student. The
State Department of Public Instruc-
‘tion will again award medals to the
best project students of the State,
and Centre county boys have set out
to bring home a few of these medals.
The vocational classes conducted in
seven high schools throughout the
county have just completed a very in-
teresting eight week’s course in farm
fruit growing. Examinations are be-
ing conducted. in the warious high
: schools this week, and there is keea
‘competition between the various
schools for a record in -class-room
i work. The results of this contest will
| be announced in these columns very
soon.
The Ordination of Stephen S. Aplin
: as Baptist Minister.
Very interesting religious services
were held in the Baptist church, at
. Milesburg, on Sunday, April 3rd,
i when Stephen S. Aplin, former gen-
eral secretary of the Bellefonte Y. M.
tC. A., was ordained a minister in the
| church preliminary to his leaving to
{accept a pastorate at La Jose, Clear-
i field county. The church council in-
{ cluded pastors and lay delegates from

Huntingdon, Altoona, Johnstown, Ty-
i rone, Mount Union and Winburne. Rev.
: S. F. Forgeus, of Huntingdon, was
| chosen moderator and Rev. T. Phil-
ips, of Lewistown, stated clerk.
The examination of Mr. Aplin as to
his experience, call to the ministry
i and Bible teachings was conducted in
the afternoon and proved most satis-
factory. The ordination proper took
place in the evening. Rev. Forgeus
presided and devotions were conducted
by Rev. Croft, the pastor. The charge
to the candidate was delivered by Rev.
Philips; the dedicatory prayer by Rev.
H. F. King and the right hand of fel-
lowship extended by Rev. G. W.
Hatch. The ordination sermon was
delivered by Rev. B. A. Fisher.
Very interesting Easter services
were held in the church, which includ-
ed the administering of the Holy
Communion. A class of twenty-eight
united with the church. The oldest
communicant was Mrs. Nancy Mec-
Meen, who has reached the age of 95
years and 8 months, and been a con-
sistent member of the church for 68
years. The youngest communicant
was only nine years old, and was Vir-
ginia Irvine, who had been a member
just one week. :
