If people looking for a lawn
sprinkler were to ask us for a sug-
gestion we would tell them to buy the
“Rain King.” It is the best thing of
its kind we have ever seen. It is
easily adjusted for a coarse or fine
spray, a large or small circle and, best
of all, works perfectly under low
pressure. It can be bought at Ole-
wine’s hardware for $3.50.
At a meeting of Tyrone Can-
ton No. 42, held in Tyrone last week,
officers for the ensuing year were in-
stalled, among them being three
Bellefonte men, namely: S. D. Gettig
Esq., captain; Lloyd A. Stover, lieu-
tenant, and Willis E. Wion, standard
bearer. Owing to the fact that quite
a number of Bellefonte and Centre
county people are members of Can-
ton No. 42, it was decided to alternate
the meetings between Tyrone and
Bellefonte. :
The Watchman was just a little
premature last week in announcing
that all indications were for a cir-
cusless summer in Bellefonte. The
“ink on the paper was hardly dry
“when the advance man for Christy
~ Bros. show made his appearance and
-zmade arrangements for the appear-
ance of the show here on Friday, May
: 28th. And there is going to be a big
street parade, too. Of course Chris-
~ ty’s isn’t as big as Ringling Bros. but
the kiddies won’t know the difference.
About noon last Monday a
frame dwelling and garage, owned by
H. E. Snyder, were burned to the
The fire
was of unknown origin. The property

“property is a total loss, probably ag-
gregating $4000. The main cable of
the Bell Co., was burned off by the
flames and State College was without
. phone service until it could be re-
paired.
——The belligerent primary cam-
paign is now over and the candidates
named beyond recall. With politics
out of the way for the present every-
body will have more time for recrea-
tion and no better place can be found
in Bellefonte than at the Scenic
avatching the motion pictures. Every
picture shown there is strictly new
and up-to-date, and the product of
the best film ‘producers in America.
The real movie fan always chooses
the Scenic because he knows he will
see something worthwhile. Get in
line and be a regular.
INTERESTING MEETING OF CEN-
TRE COUNTY BANKERS.
President McCurdy Gave Talk on Fed-
eral Reserve System.
A meeting of the Centre county
Bankers Association was held in the
Grand jury room in the court house
on Saturday afternoon, May 15th, at
two thirty o’clock. Representatives
from all but two of the banks in the
county were in attendance.
‘Charles M. McCurdy, president of
the association, presided and after the
reading of the minutes of the or-
ganizaton meeting by the secretary
L. W. Stover, of the Farmers National
bank, of Mllheim, made a brief ad-
dress, his subject being “The Federal
Reserve Bank.”
Mr. McCurdy reviewed the condi-
tions that obtained prior to the es-
tablishment of the federal reserve
system. He said that the United
States, alone among the great na-
tions of the earth, had neglected to
provide for two of the essential requi-
sites of sound banking—a great
central depository institution and an
elastic currency. Both these were
furnished by the inauguration of the
system in 1913. The following years
the immense power for good that the
system possessed was illustrated in
the financing that followed the war in
Europe and in successive sales of the
several Liberty Loan issues.
The admirable service since given,
the feeling. of confidence inspired is
appreciated by all the banking fra-
ternity, ‘and he said he felt sure that
within it there was but one opinion
as to the great benefit to the business
world that the system conferred.
He predicted that, henceforth, the
country would not be affected with ve-
curring panics, for the provisions of
the act which he defined makes it
possible to obtain quick relief when
needed. He urged the bankers pres-
ent to exert their influence in main-
taining the integrity of the system.
Already an insidious propaganda is
at work. seeking to impair its con-
servative usefulness, and as the char-
ter will expire in 1933 it is not’ too
early to begin the education that will
acquaint the public with the neces-
sity for defeating certain proposed
part destroy the integrity of the sys-
tem.
Mr. Robb, of the Bellefonte Trust
company, offered a resolution which
was adopted, pledging the association
to pay the expenses of two boys at
State College for June 14-19 to be in-
structed in farm and community lead-
ership.
Mr. Albright, of the First National
bank of Centre Hall, read a leter from
the chairman of the Pennsylvania
Bankers’ Association committee on
agriculture, asking the members of
the association to join them in the
tour of the county on August 19.
Mr. Jackson, of the Moshannon Na-
tional bank of Philipsburg, told of his
experience at a conference held with
the Governor and other officers of the
Federal Reserve Bank, Philadelphia,
in December last, and gave valuable
suggestions on matters of moment to
bankers present.
The president was authorized to ap-
point an excutive committee of three
members, and to add four names to
the council of administration in addi-
tion to the exofficio members.

certificate of public convenience to
operate a motor bus line between
Bellefonte and Lock Haven, by way of
Bald Eagle valley.
The Street committee reported a
new flooring being put on the Willow-
bank. street bridge. In undertaking
to repair the old flooring they discov-
ered that it was dangerously weaken-
ed by dry rot and the only thing to do
was put on new material. The com-
i mittee also reported having inspected
Logan street and recommended a new
pavement at the Bickett property and

that the pavement along Pine street

‘known there had been no inquiries.
Mr. Emerick called attention to the
parking on east Bishop street, which
if allowed at all, should be parallel
with the curb and not at an angle, as
the street is too narrow. Mr. Rey-
nolds also called attention to the fact
that there is entirely too much con-
gestion at the Big Spring garage, on
south Water street. Both matters
were referred to the Street and Fire
and Police committees.
Mr. Eckel reported that residents
of Willowbank street have made
complaint about the unsightly condi-
tions on the Phoenix mill property,

ing of houses and business places.
The matter was referred to the Vil-
lage Improvement committee.
Bills were approved to the amount
of $1218.78 after which council ad-
journd.
Buy a Poppy.
In the spring of 1919, amidst com-
plete devastation, the poppies bloom-
ed in abundance on the battle fields
of France where so‘many of our men
had fallen in battle, and because of
this the poppy has become the mem-
orial flower of the American Legion
and the American Legion Auxiliary.
With this in view the ladies of the
‘Brooks-Doll Post of the American Le-
gion will today start their sale of
poppies for the approaching Memorial
day. By purchasing one of these lit-
tle flowers you will enable one cent
to be earned by a disheartened ser-
vice man tucked away from the world
in a veteran’s hospital suffering from
the after affects of the great war.
For those boys the war is not yet
over. Their battles today are ones of
life and death. Therefore it is the de-
sire of the local auxiliary and the
members of the Post here that every
citizen buy a poppy and display his
spirit in this manner on the lapel of
his coat—an insignia representing the
sacrificial blood spilled on Flanders
fields.

Penn State’s New Golf Course Open
| for Playing.
Penn State”s newly completed 18-
hole championship golf course was
thrown open to the students this
week. Work on the new part of the
course was completed last fall, but
no playing was allowed until the new
greens were firmly established. The
entire course is laid out on a part of
thé college campus, and Penn State
is one of the few colleges in the coun-
try to offer such golfing facilities to
its student body.
An original nine-hole course was
laid out six years ago. Popularity of
the game increased so rapidly that
this ‘layout became inadequate and
the additional nine holes were plan-
ned on adjoining land donated to the
college by the Athletic Association.
Still more land is available for the ex-
tension of the course to twenty-sev-
en holes when the need arises and
when funds become available.
