admission into this country at as ear-
ly2 a date as possible and she arrived

started by train on the last lap of her
long journey. Clyde is now working
for the Penn State Telephone com-
pany and intends settling down in
Bellefonte.
{ MORE WATER WANTED
ON THE HIGH STREETS.
Borough Council Authorized Oiling of
Additional Streets.
Only five members were present at
the regular meeting of borough coun-
cil on Monday evening. No verbal '
requests nor written communications
were presented for consideration.
The Street committee reported that
Spring street from Bishop to Linn; |
Howard street from Spring to Wilson,
and north Water street had been oiled |
and top-dressed with limestone’ chips. |
That 8,000 gallons of oil had been
used and 291 tons of limechips. The
total surface fixed was 15,000 square
feet at an approximate cost of 15
cents per square foot.
The Water committee presented the
borough manager’s report of repairs
made and also a receipt for $161.60
for junk sold from the old water
pumping plant.
Mr. Brouse, of the Street commit-
tee, called the attention of council to
the fact that Logan, Lamb and Curtin
streets were badly in need of repairs,
and that Thomas street ought to have
another coating of oil to keep it from
wearing. He stated that top-dressing
the streets with oil and stone is the
cheapest way of putting them in dur-
able condition. Mr. Cunningham,
therefore, made a motion that the
Street committee be authorized to
purchase another tank car of oil and
repair the streets above mentioned
and others as far as the oil will reach.
The motion carried. .
Mr. Brouse called attention to the
fact that the contractor on the new
Richelieu theatre has closed thee pave-
ment entirely in front of the building
ly dangerous for pedestrians, especial-
when the streets are thronged with
traffic. President Walker stated that
there is a state law governing the
rights of builders and the committee
should consult the borough solicitor
regarding the matter. It was the gen-
eral opinion of council that at least a
portion of the pavement should be
opened to pedestrians during the even-
ing and night.
The amended ordinance providing
for the licensing of theatres and
shows of various kinds, with a writ-
ten opinion of the borough solicitor in
regard to the legality of same, was
read and held over until next meeting
night for further consideration and
final action of council.
Myr. Brouse stated to council that
| the last Legislature passed a bill au-
thorizing boroughs to contribute
money in a sum not to exceed $1,000
for municipal amusement, and at the
request of the Business Men’s asso-
ciation he asked for an appropriation
of "$250 toward the fund for the
weekly band concerts during the sum-
mer season. The first of the concerts
is scheduled for Wednesday evening,
June 24th. The matter was held
under consideration until next meet-
ing night.
Mr. Cunningham reported that
since the last meeting of council the
Water committee had made an inspec-
tion of the water supply on east
Logan, south Allegheny and Curtin
streats, from which districts com-
plaints have come of low pressure and
insufficiency of water, and while the
complaints are well founded it will
cost money and very probably neces-
sitate an increase in water taxes to
remedy existing conditions. At pres-
ent there is a four inch pipe on east
Logan street east to about Ridge
street, and only an inch and a half
pipe from there out. By extending
the four inch pipe a distance of 600
feet and putting down a two inch
pipe on south Allegheny street, resi-
dents of those sections would receive
an ample supply of water but no in-
crease in pressure. The above work
could be done for about $700. Another
plan is to replace the four inch pipe
on Curtin street from Allegheny to
Armor with a six inch pipe, use the
four inch pipe to make the extension
on Logan street and also put a loop
from Linn to Curtin street up Spring
street, which would almost double the
supply there in case of fire. To do
this would cost about $2000. The only
thing that can be done to increase the
pressure is to raise the reservoir. If
the big basin is raised eight feet it
will increase the pressure five pounds
and would probably result in giving
ample service at all points within the
borough limits. But it will cost at
least $5,000 to raise the reservoir, and
to raise it will increase the cost of
pumping. To make all the improve-
ments above outlined will mean a total
expenditure of approximately $10,000
or $12,000, and naturally will necessi-
tate an increase in water tax. In
other words, to afford better service
to less than one per cent, of the popu-
lation of the town the tax on the other
99 per cent will have to be substan-
tially increased. Residents of Belle-
fonte borough are now paying 55
mills taxes, exclusive of water taxes,
and it is up to the taxpayers to voice
their sentiment for or against any
further increase, as the Water com-
mittee made no recommendations but
merely presented the above facts to
get them before the public for consid-
eration.
Bills were approved to the amount
of $4,236.99, after which council ad-
journed.
— Bellefonte had its first rain in
almost three weeks on Sunday, which
was followed by a shower on Monday
and a good rainfall Monday night,
which put new life into vegetation of
all kinds and freshened up the
gardens considerably.

A Regional Convention.
‘of the resignation of Dr.
Dr. Thomas Resigns as President of
State College.
One of the deplorable incidents in
connection with the annual commence-
ment at State College, the past week,
was the announcement, on Saturday,
John M.
Thomas, president of that institution
the past four years, to become presi-
, vised to be on hand at the appointed dent of Rutgers University, at New
; Brunswick, N. J., with the opening of
“college in September.’ While'members |’

On Tuesday evening, June 23rd, a .
regional convention will be held in the
Evangelical church at State College,
covering the work of the Sunday
school and Christian Endeavor socie-
ty. The region is composed of State
College, Nittany, Howard and Belle-
fonte, and Rev. Reed O. Steely, the
pastor of the Bellefonte church is the
chairman. The principal speaker will
be the Rev. W. B. Cox, of Williams-
port. Last week a similar convention
was held in Howard, when Rev. Zang,
of Clintondale, and Rev. Hower, of
State College, delivered the addresses.
Makes
Start.
Curb Market Discouraging
Only two truckmen were in at-
market last Saturday morning, and
the principal supply offered for sale
consisted of new onions and straw-
berries. Quite a number of Bellefonte
people who went to market with the
expectation of being able to buy their
Sunday supply of produce, including
fresh butter and eggs, were disap-
pointed. There is no question but
that every housekeeper in Bellefonte
would like to have a curb market
where she can secure a supply of
fresh vegetables for her table, but a
few mornings like last Saturday will
kill the market before it gets rightly
started. Should such be the case it
will not be entirely the fault of the
people’ of * Bellefonte. They will pat-
ronize the market if they can get
what they want, otherwise they will
naturally cease to attend.

Deer Becoming Domesticated.
Since the law protecting doe deer
became effective, some years ago} it
has been a common sight to see them
pasturing in fields at the foothills of
the mountains of the county, but rare-
ly are they seen as far away from
their ‘natural environment as Morris
Miller, of this place, found two last
Thursday morning.
He was driving to State College : and
when he hadreached the old pike at
the foot of “Rishel’s hill” decided to
go up that way just to look the coun-
try from there to Shiloh over. Im-
agine his surprise, when just above
the Rishel farm buildings he noticed
two full grown deer jump up in a
grass field and start trotting off.
The spot is about equi-distant be-
tween “the Barrens” and Nittany
mountain so that one guess is as good
as another as to which of the two
wooded areas they had wandered
from.
Epworth Leaguers to Meet in Belle-
fonte Next Year.
The annual convention of the Ep-
worth League of the Williamsport dis-
trict, Central Pennsylvania M. E. con-
ference, was held at Avis last week.
An invitation from Bellefonte dele-
gates in attendance to hold the 1926
convention in this place was accepted.
Officers elected for the ensuing year
are as follows:
President, Rev. M. S. Q. Mellott,
Mozrrisdale; first vice president, Miss
Ruth Poorman, Renovo; second vice
president, Miss Isabelle Johnson,
Bellefonte; third vice president, Miss
Ruth Mitscke, Jersey Shore; fourth
vice president, Russell Mayes, Avis;
corresponding secretary, Miss Nora
Bailey, Morrisdale; recording secre-
tary, Wilbur Starr, of South Wil-
liamsport; treasurer, Miss Ethel Ed-
dy, Jersey Shore; junior superintend-
ent, Miss Esther Johnson, Bellefonte.
Yesterday Was Kiddies Day at Hecla
Park.
There is no question but that the
population of Bellefonte and vicinity
is increasing and everybody who saw
the kiddies parade on Wednesday
evening will scout the idea of race su-
icide in this section of the country.
When the Bellefonte Lodge of Elks
inaugurated the kiddies picnic at Hec-
la park six years ago just six hun-
dred kiddies attended. The registra-
tion for yesterday’s outing was 1,350,
or more than double that of the first
picnic. Preliminary to the picnic the
children gave a parade on Wednesday
evening, led by the I. O. O. F. band,
and they were out in force.
Bafore seven o'clock yesterday
morning they began to gather at the
Elks home and auto busses and pri-
vate cars were pressed into service to
convey the children to the park. It
was ‘necessary to make several trips
to get them all down, but the commit-
tee in charge of transportation saw
to it that'not a child who wanted to
go was left behind.
tendance at the opening of the curb’
‘and have.a ‘“peach;of a time”
-ed-actiefi; it was not generally known
and came as a shock to his co-workers
at State College. In tendering his
resignation to the board of trustees
Dr. Thomas said:
“I have lost none of my confidence
in the steady growth and ultimate de-
velopment of The Pennsylvania State
College, but under present circum-
stances I believe I can do a more con-
structive service in New Jersey. For
many years legislative appropriations
to State College have been far below
the careful estimates prepared by the
institution. It is not the hard work a
man does which wears him out, but
the good work which ought to be done
and which he cannot do owing to cir-
cumstances beyond his control. Both
Dr. Sparks and Dr. Atherton, my im-
mediate predecessors, broke down un-
der the strain before they were sixty
years of age.
“Rutgers University has a clear
field in New Jersey as the land grant
college and the designated State Uni-
versity. The State of New Jersey is
in urgent need of greater facilities
for higher education, and the oppor-
tunity at Rutgers for sound develop-
ment on a large scale in the immedi-
ate future presents an appeal which
him.
I cannot resist, particularly as New
Jersey is my old home State, where I
begun my. professional work and lived
for fifteen years.”
Until a successor to President
‘Thomas is selected the College will be
governed by an administrative com-
mittee of senior deans following Dr.
Thomas’ departure on September first
for Rutgers. Judge H. Walton Mitch-
ell, Pittsburgh, president of the board
of trustees, will be chairman of the
committee. The deans are Dr. R. L.
Watts, school of agriculture; R. L.
Sackett, school of engineering, and
Dr. C. W. S. Stoddart, school of liber-
al arts. Comptroller R. H. Smith will
act as executive secretary to the com-
mittee.
The Glorious Fourth.
Along with a lot of other things the
old-time Fourth of July celebration
has been relegated to the almost for-
gotten past. Those were the days
when a celebration meant noise, and
noise was meant for patriotism. The
cannon cracker and the anvil chorus
vied with the brass band, and peanuts
and pink lemonade flourished in abun-
dance. People living in the country
hitched up the old nag and drove to
town for a big time, but now that the
Fourth is celebrated safe and sane
the people in town pile into their au-
tos and go into the country, picking
qut the. most secluded spot possible
the ants and the bugs from their din-
ner and switching away the flies and
mosquitos. But so long as the new
order prevaileth, and there will be
nothing doing in Bellefonte, make
your plans to go to Hecla park and
spend the day with the boys of the
Logan Fire company. They are ar-
ranging a good program of sports,
which will include a league baseball
game, and will have band concerts and
dancing all day. Meals and other re-
freshments can be had on the grounds.
State College Men Discharged from
Jail.
At a brief session of court, on Wed-
nesday morning “Pinkey” Wands and
James Lorrah, of State College, were
paroled from the custody of the sher-
iff, having served their full sentence
in the Centre county jail for illegal
possession of intoxicating liquor. The
men were not discharged outright for
the reason that the fine and the costs
in the case against Wands total $75
and those against Lorrah about $40,
hence the men were placed on parole
for a period of thirty days and given
that length of time in which to pay
the costs, or at least a portion of
them.
Florence Shay, accused of stealing
sundry articles of women’s wearing
apparel, was brought into court on
the supposition that she would plead
guilty to the charge but when the in-
dictment was presented to her she re-
fused to plead. She stated that she
did not steal the articles in question;
that they were in her house and she
just kept them. She was remanded to
jail and unless she changes her mind
will likely be kept there until the Sep-
tember term of court.

Carl Stamm Held for Passing Forged
Check.
One day last week three young men,
Carl Stamm, Earl Horner and Glenn
Corman, all of Pennsvalley, went to
the Oriole store in Millheim and after
making a few purchases presented a
check for $18.00 in payment therefore.
Manager Bond Musser accepted the
paper and taking out the amount of
the purchase gave them the change
in cash. It later developed that the
check was a forged instrument, and
the three young men were arrested on
Friday by motor policeman Daniels,
of Bellefonte. They were given a
hearing before Squire W. S. Shelton,
in ‘Millheim, who held Stamm in $300
bail for trial at the next term of
court and Horner and Corman in $100
bail as accessories.
