| SPRINGTIME FLITTINGS
F Bellefonte, Pa., March 19, 1926.

NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
will Change Their Place of
Residence.
There is an old-time saying that
“it is cheaper to move than pay rent,”
but these days it is not even cheap to
move, and the man who does the mov-
ing must be paid. But regardless of
this fact the first of April will see the
usual number of flittings in Bellefonte.
—some families will move in the hope
of bettering their location and sur-
roundings; others will move because
their present landlord raised the rent;
others will move because the houses
they have been occupying have been
sold or rented over their head to some
one else and they are naturally com-
pelled to get out, and others will move
simply because its a habit to move
every spring and they wouldn’t be
happy if they didn’t do it. After all
have moved and are duly settled it
is probably only a fraction of the
movers will be any better satisfied
than they were in their old location.
Be that as it may, however, home is
what you make it. A place that looks
ragged and unkept with one family
living in it may present a very dif-
ferent aspect in the hands of some
on2 who will give it proper care, while
the careless, slothful family will make
a castle look like a hovel.
But that’s neither here nor there,
and among the changes which will
take place, (or have already taken
place) will be the return of Mrs. R.
G. H. Hayes to Bellefonte from Syra-
cuse, where she spent the winter, to
take possession of her apartment in
the Eagle block, which has been oc-
cupied during her absence by Mrs. H.
C. Quigley and daughter, Miss Hen-
rietta; the latter will go to their own
home on east Linn street, which will
be vacated by the H. C. Taylor fam-
ily, who will move into the apartment
in the Sim Baum property, on the cor-
ner of Allegheny and Curtin Sts.,al-
ready vacated by Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Morris and family, who have already
moved into the A. G. Morris home, on
east Linn street, recently purchased
from Miss Lida Morris.
Mrs. Wells L. Daggett is also ex-
pected to return to Bellefonte about
the first of the month to take pos-
session of her home on east Linn
street, vacated this week by C. D.
Casebeer and family who moved into
their new home on High street, pur-
chased recently from W. S. Katz.
Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Driver and Mr.
and Mrs. J. Merrill Hagan have taken
possession of the new double brick
house built by Mr. Thomas on north
Allegheny street, Mrs. Driver mov-
ing there from the Twitmire house,
on east Lamb street, and the Hagans
from the W. J. Emerick property, on
north Spring street, which has already
been occupied by John J. Regenold
and family; Mr. Regenold coming to
Bellefonte from Lewistown to take
charge of the new Fleisher store in
the Kalin building.
Mrs. Sara Satterfield, who sold her
home on Bishop street to Wesley
Tate, will move into the north side of
the T. Clayton Brown property on
Spring street. .
Mrs. Edith Knoff has moved from
the Shutt property, on east Howard
street, into the new bungalow erect-
ed by James D. Seibert, on north Alle-
gheny street, and the Shutt property
has been taken by Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam Resides, who are this week mov-
ing there from the Henry Montgom-
ery property, opposite the jail, which
has been purchased by Nicola Lalli
as a home for himself.
The Harry Tressler family will
move to Bellefonte from Warriors-
mark and go into the Noll home, on
Bishop street, just as soon as public
sale of the personal property can be
made ‘by Miss Roberta Noll.
The Pearl sisters have moved from
an apartment in Crider’s Exchange
to an apartment in the Richelieu
theatre, and the place vacated by them
will be taken by Mr. and Mrs. Leo
Toner.
R. W. Eckman and family will move
from the Albert Schad double house,
on Reynolds avenue, to another house
belonging to Mr. Schad on north
Spring street. The house they will
vacate will be taken by Lawrence
Jones and family, who will move there
from the Macker house, on Wilson
street, which has been rented by W.
R. Kissel, who will go there from the
Louis Hill house on east Bishop street.
The Misses Margaret and Martha
McKnight, will go from the Haag
house to Logan street, where they
have secured a house. Miss Alice Tate
has had her household goods stored,
the rooms in the From house on Bish-
{ op street, which she vacated are now
i occupied by a sewing machine agent.
Mr. and Mrs. Vincent J. Bauer will
‘move here from Somerset, into their
| own home on Bishop street, to be va-

banquet in its engine house Wednes-
day evening. :
——The ladies of the Reformed
church will hold a Thimble Bee at the
home of Mrs. R. S. Brouse, on Thomas
St., on Thursday afternoon, March 25.
——Albert Bierly, of Milesburg, has
been appointed temporary reciever for
the Krader Motor company pending
the election of trustees by the credi-
tors.
——The Ladies Aid Society of the
Methodist Episcopal church will hold
their annual Easter food sale, Satur-
day, April 8, in the Bellefonte hard-
‘ware store.
——Mrs. Mary Swartz, of Somer-
set, has for many years made it a
practice of dropping a bit of sunshine
in this office annually. Her last word
of cheer was to thank us for the “big
letter from home” and wish us “a year
of prosperity, joy and good health.”
——DMorris Baum’s new theatre
“The Cathaum,” at State College, is
to be opened on Thursday, April 8th.
It is one of the outstanding new build-
ings at that place and its interior is
said to include every refinement and
beauty, both as to appointments and
«comport, known to modern theatre
architecture,
——During the recent ice gorge
flood in the Susquehanna river water
backed up onto the streets of Lock
Haven and the Pennsylvania railroad
tracks were entirely submerged in
many places. In water almost knee-
deep yard crews in that place kept
traffic going and moved 1200 cars with-
out a mishap, over tracks that could
not be seen.
——Only 32 Pennsylvania State
‘College students have been forced to
drop out of non-scholastic activities
due to low scholarship following the
mid-year examinations, exclusive of
those engaged in athletics and pub-
lishing college papers and magazines,
College regulations provide for such
action when a student gets below the
passing mark in six or more credit
hours.
——The new moon, last Saturday,
‘didn’t bring much change in the
weather, at least so far as warming up
is concerned. It continues cold and
has been threatening snow most every
-day since. Old-time farmers and fruit
growers aver that the continued cold
weather is indicative of a good fruit
crop. The cold will prevent the sap
from flowing and keep back the buds
until danger of freezing is past. Let
us hope that such will prove to be the
case.
The big programs of remark-
ably fine pictures shown at the Scenic
-during the week drew splendid crowds
of film fans every night and every one
went home satisfied that they had got-
‘ten more than value received for the
price of admission. Manager T. Clay-
ton Brown is making good his prom-
ise to give‘the best pictures that, can
be secured, and the Scenic is the ‘only
place in Bellefonte where late re-
leases of up-to-date films can be seen.
Bellefonte movie fans appreciate this
fact and many of them are regular
attendants.
The Jersey Shore Herald came
out with a forty page edition on Mon-
day celebrating the one hundredth
anniversary of that town's incorpora-
tion as a borough. It was a stroke of
enterprise upon the part of the pub-
lishers and we are candid to confess
that we never realized how big Jersey
Shore is until we saw the columns of
space devoted to advertising the
town’s industries and business places.
And we just thought what a live, up-
to-the-minute newspaper the Herald
could be made if the merchants of the
town would give it the advertising
patronage it should have,
William Wolford, about twenty-
five years of age, was painfully though
not seriously injured on the narrow
guage railroad running from the
Whiterock quarries below Pleasant
‘Gap to the kilns west of the town,
last Friday morning. Wolford was
employed as head brakeman on the
stone train and was riding the front
car. His feet slipped and he fell in
front of the stone train but was
shoved to one side instead of being
run over. He sustained a deep lacer-
ation above his right eye and injuries
to his left leg, but fortunately no
broken bones. He was taken to the
Centre County hospital where he is
‘getting along nicely.
Agent Frank M. Rachau, of the
Bellefonte office of the American
Railway Express company, has on |
nounced that after May 1st, there
will be a storage charge for unclaim-
ed or undeliverable packages left in |
the company’s office for more than
three days. So many controversies
arise between consignor and consignee
of parcels by express that offices
everywhere have a great problem in
storing parcels until the disputes
are settled. Often times it is a mat-
ter of months and the public can
readily see it becomes a great annoy-
ance and cost to the transportation
company which has in no wise been
responsible for the situation. To
partially reimburse it for the trouble
the company has fixed a scale of
storage charges on all packages un-
claimed after three days.

Public Reception for Rev. Thena.
The congregation of St. John’s Re-
formed church of ‘Bellefonte will ten-
der a reception to their new pastor,
Rev. Robert Thena and family, in the
chapel this (Friday) evening, from
8 until 10 o’clock. The public is cordi-
ally invited to attend and become ac-
quainted with the latest acquisition
to the ministerial ranks of Bellefonte,
Why Dye Your Own Eggs for Easter?
The Standard Bearer society of the
Unionville Methodist church will dye
aster eggs for sale at be apiece, 25¢ a
half dozen or 50c a dozen.
Pure colorings will be used so that
the eggs can be eaten without fear of
harmful results. -
Leave orders with Sarah Holt, phone
933R3, Unionville, and eggs will he
delivered the Saturday before Easter.
Rag Rugs and Chair Caning.
Norman Kirk is now prepared to
weave rag rugs and recane chairs. He
has completed his course in both arts,
secured a loom and is ready for busi-
ness.
If you want rag rugs woven right
or any kind of chairs recaned give
Norman a trial. His work will be
conscientiously done and, in conse-
quence, entirely satisfactory.
He can be called on the Bell phone,
but prices will be a bit less if cus-
tomers deliver their own rags and
chairs to his home south of town,
where he has his workshop.
Evangelical Church Appointments.
The annual conference of the Evan-
gelical church, held at Jersey Shore
during the past week, closed on Mon-
day with the announcement of the ap-
pointments by the presiding Bishop.
Rev. Reed O. Steely has been returned
to the Bellefonte church and the other
assignments for Centre county, are as
follows:

State College—C. E. Hewitt.
Barn on Mrs. Samuel Hoy Farm Burt:
ed to Ground.
The large barn on the Mrs. Samuel
Hoy farm, a short distance east of
Jacksonville, was entirely destroyed
by fire on Wednesday morning. The
barn was tenanted by Irvin Robin-
son, who discovered the fire and with
the help of neighbors attempted to
extinguish it with a bucket brigade,
but the flames spread too quickly and
it was only a short time until the
entire barn was ablaze. Two calves
were burned to death and several
horses badly burned, but all the rest
of the livestock was saved.
All the crops in the barn, however,
and a good part of the farming im-
plements were destroyed. A Ford and
Cadillac touring car were also burn-
ed. A call was sent to Bellefonte for
help but as there was no water supply
handy it was useless to send a pump-
er down. Both the barn and livestock
were partially insured.
Bellefonte in Triple Tie for Mountain
League Pennant.
By defeating Huntingdon, last Fri-
day night, Bellefonte was placed in a
triple tie with Lewistown and Mount
Union for the Mountain League pen-
nant, but as Lewistown has one game
vet to play, and that with Altoona,
there is a chance that it may be elimi-
nated and leave as the only contenders
Bellefonte and Mount Union. This tie
would then, of necessity, have to he
played off on a neutral floor, and as
both teams are pretty evenly matched
there is no telling where the pennant
will finally hang.
The game with Huntingdon, on Fri-
day right, was a real test of Belle-
fonte’s strength, but through its gen-
eral aggressiveness and superior de-
fense it won out by a 27 to 21 victory.
Concentrated team work rather than
the individual efforts of any particular
player was. what won the game for
Bellefonte. Huntingdon came here to
win and was in the game every minute
to obtain that end. Their star player,
Cozzens, accounted for fourteen points
of their score. Time and again he
came down the floor with a rush in an
attempt to break through to the bas-
ket but was stopped by Bellefonte’s
defense. His scoring consisted of four
long throws from the floor and six
free throws. Several back hand shots
by Best, of Bellefonte, were the thrill-
ing features of the game,
Bellefonte led ia the first half 10 to
4, but in the second half Huntingdon
braced up and both teams scored 17
points during the second half.
Bellefonte eliminated Lewistown by
defeating that contender by the score
of 22-17, at Huntingdon, Wednesday.
Mt. Union and our boys played off
for the championship last night, but
to get the final score.
the game was called too late for us
WARD YARNELL DEAD
AT CHESTER, PENNA.
Sun Shipbuilding Plant.
Ward S. Yarnell, second son of ex-
sheriff and Mrs. George H. Yarnell, of
Hecla, died in the Chester hospital at
five o'clock on Wednesday evening
from injuries sustained while in the
: performance of his duties as foreman
{at the plant of the Sun Shipbuilding
company, in that city. Particulars of
‘ the accident are unknown at this time.
‘On Wednesday Mr. Yarnell received a
"telegram from his scn Fred, who is
‘also employed at the Sun plant, telling
that Ward had been hit on the head
by an iron pipe and pretty badly hurt,
‘and had been taken to the Chester
hospital. Information of his death
' came in a telegram to his father short-
| ly before eight o’clock on Wednesday
| evening.
| Ward was the second son of George
i H. and Nora S. Rockey Yarnell and
was born at Zion on October 18th,
1 1888, hence was 87 years and 5 months
!old. The greater part of his life was
i spent in Walker township, but some
i ten years ago he went to Chester and
| obtained employment in the plant of
| the Sun Shipbuilding company. A
| steady, energetic workman he was
| finally promoted to the position of a
! foreman and of late had been in charge
j of a gang of twelve men. His passing
| away is the first break in a family of
i eleven children.
i Mr. Yarnell married Miss Ella Pol-
i lock, of Renovo, who survives with
[five children, Hazel, Della, Clara,
{ Harold and Lloyd. He also leaves his
| parents, living at Hecla, and the fol-
lowing brothers and sister: W. Orvis
| Yarnell, of Zion; Fred, of Chester;
Rush, of Detroit, Mich.; Roy, of Belle-
| fonte; George F., of Hecla; Boyd N.,
of Lock Haven; Mrs. Charles E. Gates,
of Bellefonte; Nevin, of Mill Hall;
Earl and Philip, at home.
Definite arrangements for the fun-
eral or place of burial are not known
at this writing. Mr. Yarnell left for
Chester on Wednesday night and
when the Watchman went to press no
word had been received as to where
the funeral will be held.
——The Treasury Department is
considering making the dollar bill
smaller. If they make it the size of
it’s purchasing power it will be pretty
small, indeed.
Firemen Had Numerous Calls Over
the Week End.
Bellefonte firemen were kept on the
jump over the week-end and Sunday
answering numerous calls for their
services, but fortunately no great
damage resulted. The first fire, and
the most costly one of the lot, happen-
ed in the projection room of the Rich-
clieu theatre late last Thursday night.
In some unknown way a film caught
fire and the flames communicated to
other films, destroying in the neigh-
borhood of twenty thousand feet. Fire
extinguishers were secured from the
Elks home and the flames extinguish-
ed without calling out the firemen.
The Logans were called out about
four o’clock on Friday morning when
fire was again discovered in one of
the coal bins at the Kofman coal yard.
The coal was drenched with water be-
fore the fire gained much headway.
On Saturday morning a chimney
fire at the Hamilton home on east
Howard street, occupied by George C.
Bingaman and family, resulted in call-
ing out the department, but the five
was quickly extinguished.
Shortly after dinner, on Sunday,
the firemen were again called out by
a fire on the roof of the Jacob Hoy
home, on south Thomas street, but a
bucket brigade had the fire out by the
time the firemen arrived. Scarcely
had they returned to the fire houses
when there was another call, the re-
sult of flames being discovered on the
roof of the Brockerheff building, on
Bishop street, over the Hockman feed
store. This fire was also quickly ex-
tinguished with chemicals”before any
great damage was done.
“The Wanderer,” another big
feature in the class with the “Ten
Commandments,” at the Moose thea-
tre this “Friday” and Saturday. Ad-
mission, 15 and 35 cents.

date for one of the largest public sales
of the season in Centre county.
Lester L. Meek, having decided to
give ap farming, is going to offer his
entire stock and equipment to the

Poland China hogs and a flock of fine

Why Dye Your Easter Eggs.
Easter will be here Sunday, April
4th. The Lenten season will then be
over and the celebration of the period
of self denial will find expression in
relaxation from the various restraints
we have laid on ourselves.
For some reason or other eggs have
held a very unusual place in the Eas-
ter ceremony. Just why, we shall not
try to explain at this time. Suffice it
to say that in the country especially,
the person who could eat the most
eggs—fried, scrambled, boiled, poach-
ed or raw—on Easter seems to have
been entitled to a championship for
something or other. We have known
fellows who ate sixteen at an Easter
breakfast.
While the elders have made a fea-
ture of their gastronomical propensi-
ties the children have had their en-
joyment in hunting the vari colored
eggs that “the Easter bunny” laid for
them.
Long before the manufacture of
canay cggs for Easter, children were
happy with common hen-fruit that
had been dyed while boiling so that
the shells were all the colors of the
rain bow. Onion skins were much in
use and gave a lovely chestnut brown
color to the shell. Bits of calico were
wrapped about the egg before drop-
ping it into the boiling water so that
when it was dipped out the shell was
decorated with the colors of the print.
Uncle Olin used to knock a little
hole in the end of the eggs, suck the
meat out and then the empty shell
would be filled with molten maple
sugar. The shell provided a protection
for the sugar and we carried the Eas-
ter trophy in our pocket for weeks,
licking at the hard content until
tongues would be worn sore.
They were the customs when we
awaited the Easter bunny.
Today its different. The candy man-
ufacturer has stepped in to make a
profit out of a good old fashioned cus-
tom—and we are glad to note that in
of—and we are glad to note that in
one part of Centre county, at least, a
band of young women are determined
to try to preserve the old fashioned
Easter traditions.: -
The Standard Bearer society of the
Unionville Methodist church is willing
to dye real eggs in a real Easter way
for all whe want them.
The old fashioned, vari-colored,
fresh hen fruit, the kind that won't
make the children sick and yet give
them more joy than they have ever
had out of Easter, will be dyed and
delivered by these young women at
5c an egg, 25¢ for a half dozen and
50cts for a dozen. All the colors im-
aginable, all harmless and eatable,
eggs for rolling and every other Eas-
ter use.
Telephone Sarah Holt, 933-R-3,
Unionville, just what you want and
the eggs will be delivered the Satur-
day before Easter.
State Policemen Convicted of. Volun-
tary Manslaughter.
In court at Ebensburg, last Friday,
corporal H. R. Jacobson and private
Walter J. Lyster, of the state police,
and chief of police Fred Lytle, of Cres-
son, were convicted of voluntary man-
slaughter in connection with the death
of Tony Misoura, who it was charged,
they beat up when making his arrest
on: a charge of breaking the Volstead
law. At the trial the officers swore
they had a search warrant and read it
twice to Misoura, but justice of the
peace J. McGonigle, of Lilly, testified
that the warrant had not been issued

—Mrs. Amanda Eckley Miller, of I'ord
City, who has been in Bellefonte during
the past week, came in for the George
Rhoads sale at Coleville, Friday, knowing
that would bring together many of her old
friends and neighbors, whom she wished to
see, Mrs. Miller with her family and
mother, Mrs. Iickley, left here a number of
years ago, to make their home in Ford
City; in the meantime, three of her chil-
dren have married two others are in busi-
ness and the youngest is now finishing
High school.
—N. E. Hess, of State College, his son
Samuel, with the latter's wife and three
children, were all day guests of Mr. and
Mrs. Harvey Schaeffer in Bellefonte, Thurs-
day of last week. Mr. Newton Hess had
been to Williamsport, for a reunion of
their Alaskan hunting party, given by Mr.
Beck, the originator of the party, at his
home on Wednesday evening, and stopped
here on his way back to State College.
The Samuel Hess family were making one
of their occasional visits with Mr, Hess's
aunt, Mrs. Schaeffer.
——Several months ago the floor in
the basement of Harvey Schaeffer's
hardware store showed every evidence
of sinking. The depression finally be-
came so pronounced that Archibald
Allison, owner of the building, was
notified and carpenters were engaged
to make repairs. Their astonishment
was great when they tore up the old
floor and discovered that there was no
support beneath, nothing but a yawn-
ing hole in the ground where the foun-
dation had caved in. The hole was
about twenty feet in diameter and
fully twenty-five feet deep. Bellefonte
is underlaid with limestone ledges
which are honeycombed with old water
courses, and the cavein under the
Schaeffer store was probably one of
the biggest of them. It required many
truck loads of stone and dirt to fill up
the hole.
