—— The members of Saint Mary’s
Guild of the Episcopal church will hold
a food sale at Speiglemeyer’s store
Saturday morning, February 26th.

be rounded up for a meeting on Mon-
day night.
——Mrs. Forrest Tanner's section
of the Bible class of the Bellefonte
Methodist church will hold an all day
bake sale at the Olewine hardware
store tomorrow, Saturday.
If this snow lies any length of
time it will be hard on bird and small
game life in the woods and sportsmen
would do well to put out feed to tide
them over until the snow disappears.
The Catholic Daughters of
America will give a St. Patrick’s day
card party on the 17th of March.
Both bridge and five-hundred will be
in play and the admission will be 50
cents.
Robert B. Taylor, who the past
two years has been engaged in the
plumbing ‘business at State College,
has purchased the IL. E. Baird store
room at Pleasant Gap and will con-
vert the same into an up-to-date tea
room.
The 194th anniversary of the
birth of George Washington was not
generally celebrated in Bellefonte on
Tuesday. Flags were exhibited and
the banks and postoffice were closed
but other business places were open as
usual.
Easter this year will fall on
April 17th which is quite late and
does not presage an early spring.
Coming as it will, however, two days
after the opening of the trout fishing
season will enable fishermen to have
trout and eggs for breakfast.
Raymond Ammerman has sold
his store on east Howard street to H.
C. Houck, of Warriorsmark, who will
conduct it in the future. The price
paid was $450, Mr. Ammerman made
the sale because he was unable to give
it proper attention and attend to his
duties as clerk in Montgomery & Co's
store.
Mrs. George F. Harris, who has
bezn a patient in the Centre county
hospital since the fall in her home that
injured her hip, is not suffering as
acutely as she did shortly after the
accident. Her condition, however, is
unchanged. She has several fairly
comfortable days and then one not so
favorable.
The regular monthly meeting
of the Woman’s Club of Bellefonte
will be held Monday evening, Febru-
ary twenty-eighth, in the High school
building. After the regular business
meeting Arthur M. Cowell, of State
College, will speak on “Better Town
Planning.” The public is cordially in-
vited to attend.
¥ The aunual football dance of
the Bellefonte Academy, held in the
Bellefonte armory last Friday even-
ing, was well attended and proved to
be one oi the most brilliant and enjoy-
able social functicns ever given by the
Academy. In spite of the stormy
"weather, many guests from nearby
towns were present to enjoy the dance.
The music was furnished by Joe Buck
and his orchestra, from Penn State
College.
The deep snow of this week
halted temporarily work on the
Keystone Power corporation’s new
high power transmission line down
Bald Eagle valley. During the nice
weather previous to the snow fall a
little over a miie of right of way had
been cleared out in the vicinity of Port
Matilda, ready for putting up the big
poles that will carry the line, and as
soon as the snow disappears and the
weather will permit work will be re-
sumed.
—-—The regular February term of
court will convene next Monday to
continue for two weeks, or until all the
eases listed have been heard. No civil
cases are down for trial the first week
and no very grave criminal cases are
listed. Aniong them, however, is that
aff George Kosut, charged with being
implicated in the death of a man near
Philipsburg early in January, but it
will hardly rise above the crime of
manslaughter, and Kosut may plead
guilty to that.
——George Fiedler, of Lock Haven,
and Miss Drothy Bressler, of Green-
burr, Clinton county, were married at
Rebersburg, Mr. Fiedler’s old home,
one day last week, and when they re-
turned to Lock Haven a big crowd of
callithumpians gave them a rousing
serenade. Some over-enthusiastic in-
dividual threw a stick of dynamite
whieh exploded with a deafening crash
shattering windows in a number of
nearby houses. This, naturally, broke
up the serenade.
——-3Special attention of the resi-
‘dents of Bellefonte is called to the
talk which will be given before the
Woman's club on Monday night by
Arthur M. Cowell, of State College, on
“Better Town Planning.” It is to
Prof. Cowell that Bellefonte is in-
debted for its tree survey which, when
universally adopted, will undoubted-
ly place the town among the most pro-
gressive ones of the community. Ev-
ery property owner interested in im-
proving the conditions of Belefonte
* should make an especial effort to hear
Prof. Cowell. :
Deepest Snowfall in Years Fell Iri-
day and Saturday Nights.
Following close upon last week’s
springlike weather came the deepest
snow-fall experienced in Centre county
in some years. It began on Friday
evening and continued throughout the
night, and Saturday morning about
ten inches of snow covered the ground.
Saturday evening it again began to
snow and by Sunday morning another
eight or ten inches was added to that
of Friday night.
While the writer did not measure
the total fall he did a lot of shoveling
and judging from that estimates the
total fall at not less than eighteen
inches, although one Bellefonte man
who measured the snow avers it was
only fourteen, and another claims
there were 22 inches. John A. Way, of
Stormstown, is authority for the state-
ment that the fall was eighteen inches
up there while auditor H. H. Stover
says it measured nineteen inches in
Brush valley.
Whether eighteer inches, more or
less, it was enough snow to impede
traffic on the railroads and render side
roads well nigh impassible. State
highways were kept fairly well open
to traffic by constant use of highway
snow plows, but at that the Samuel
Musser mail truck was unable to get
through with the mail from Tyrone to
Bellefonte on Monday morning.
The day crew at the Bellefonte avi-
ation field who went on duty Sunday
morning were marooned at the fiel
and were unable to get back to Belle-
fonte until another crew went out by
sled on Monday forenoon and relieved
them. The county snow plow was also
called into service to open the roads
out to the field and also make a land-
ing runway for the planes.
The heavy fall of snow is just an-
other bit of evidence that the laws of
compensation always prevail, ground-
hog or no groundhog. We are due to
have a certain amount of snow every
winter and if it don’t come down grad-
ually it is almost sure to come in a
big fall, such as that of the past week.
Telephone Linemen Sent from Belle-
fonte to Help Repair Snow Dam-
age in East.
The big snow storm of Saturday
night and Sunday did many thousands
of dollars damage to the lines of the
Bell Telephone company of Pennsylva-
nia in the vicinity of Philadelphia and
in New Jersey. In the neighborhood
of fifteen hundred poles, with their
load of cables and wires, were blown
aown. In order to repair the
damage as quickly as possible an
emergency call was sent out over
the entire district for every available
construction crew and lineman to go
to the eastern part of the State.
The two crews which have been
working in Bellefonte for months past
loaded up, bag and baggage, and in
their big trucks left for Philadelphia |
on Monday afternoon. It took them
almost two days to reach the eastern
part of the State owing to the deep
snow on all the highways.
One of the crews was from Wil-
liamsport and the other Altoona, and
they have been in Bellefonte doing
some new cable work and dismantling
the pole line of the cld Penn State com-
pany. A new cable was strung from
Bellefonte to Howard, thence to Lock
Haven. Of the old pole lines of the
Penn State company they have been
all torn down with the exception of
the cable line between Bellefonte and
Pleasant Gap and the rural line run-
ning out the back road past the brick
school house. In Bellefonte all the
cables have been taken down hut the
poles are still standing. These, how-
ever, will’ be removed in the near
future, which will take a lot of the un-
sightly poles off the streets and alleys
of the town.
Wild Life Pictures at Moose Theatre
This (Friday) Evening.
Every man and woman interested in
the propagation and conservation of
wild life, the birds in the air, game in
the forests and fish in the streams,
should go to the Moose theatre this
(Friday) evening and see the motion
picture taken under the direction of
the State board of Game Commission-
ers and which will be shewn under the
auspices of the Pleasant Gap Camp No.
176, United Sportsmen of Pennsylva-
nia. The picture will be shown at 10.30
o’clock.
The Game Commission had a two-
fold object in view when they had this
picture filmed. One was the proper
conservation of wild life and the
other was the bringing about of a
better understanding between hunters
and land owners. If every hunter
would pay proper regard to the rights
of owners there would be much less
land posted with “no trespass” signs.
Members of the Pleasant Gap Camp
are all law-abiding sportsmen and are
continually working for the mutual
interest of hunters and farmers. Go
and see the picture tonight and we
feel sure you will be interested.
——A number of property owners
in the Oak Hall district of College
township are preparing a petition for
presentation to the court asking for a
relocation of the boundary line between
College and Harris townships so as to
place them in Harris township instead
of College. They assign as the prin-
cipal reason more convenient High
school advantages for the children.
The distance from Oak Hall to Boals-
burg is only a little over a mile, while
it is three miles to State College.
——DMrs. Carolyn Dale, justice of
the peace at State College, who has
been given some notoriety in the past
by grand juries ignoring bills pre-
sented to them on cases returned by
her and placing the costs upon her,
telephoned this office yesterday that
in every case so disposed of the court
has reversed the action of the grand
jury and ordered all such costs to be
paid by the county.
——Standing room is at a premium
quite frequently of late at the Scenic.
The exceptionally high class pictures
being shown there night after night
are a big attraction for the movie
fans. Some of the pictures are shown
her in advance of the larger cities,
which is evidence that they are new
and up-to-date. And the Scenic is
the only place in Bellefonte where
they can be seen. To see them all
you must be a regular.

The Penn State glee club won
the first annual intercollegiate glee
club contest at Carnegie music hall,
Pittskurgh, last Friday night. Six
college clubs competed, Penn State,
Carnegie Tech, Bucknell, Washington
and Jefferson, Juniata and Pitt. Cax-
negie Tech was awarded honorable
mention. The award carries the priv-
ilege of attendance at the national
contest to be held in New York March
12th, by the intercollegiate musical
council.
A concert will be given by Mrs.
Louis Schad on Tuesday evening,
March 1st, in the Presbyterian chapel,
for the benefit of the Woman’s Mis-
sionary auxiliary. Mus. Schad will be
assisted by the Kies—Tone quartette
of Williamsport, who have given con-
cert tours and come very highly rec-
ommended. Their accompanist is Mrs.
Carol Evenden, a pupil of Madam
Bloomnfield-Zeisler. Mrs. Schad will
play the violin. The program is a
very delightful one. Tickets are be-
ing sold at 75 cents, the concert to be-
gin at 8 o’clock.
The Postoffice Department re-
cently advertised that a competitive
examination would be held on Febru-
ary 19th for the position of postmas-
ter at Mingoville. Charles C. Work-
man is the present postmaster and
during his term the salary of the of-
fice has been brought up from a few
hundred a year to in the neighborhood
of $1600, due almost entirely to the
Hockman chicken farm. Three people
took the examination on Saturday,
both Mr. and Mrs. Workman and Earl
Yarnell. Mr. Workman’s term does
not expire until July 1st.
———Last summer Elmer Pillings,
keeper of the Rush township game
refuge, found two young fawns in the
woods that had either been abandoned
by their mother or the latter killed by
pot hunters. In any event he took the
baby deer to his home and under his
care and treatment both lived and
have now grown into good sized deer.
They are quite tame and will follow
their keeper as well as others for
something tempting to eat. Of course
they have not yet matured but the
time will come when they hear the
call of the wild and then back to the
forest they will go.

Bellefonte friends of August
Glinz will regret to learn that he has
been quite ill for some time and has
been in the hospital since the begin-
ning of February, having undergone
an operation on February 2nd. How-
ever, information comes from his
home at Newport, R. I, that he is
improving slowly and it is hoped is
now on the way to permanent recov-
ery. During his illness he has had
the best of care that could be given
him at the hospital as well as the
cheering encouragement of his wife
and daughter, Mrs. Walter Crytzer,
of New Kingston, who went to New-
port to be with her father as much as
possible.

Readers of the Watchman who
weekly peruse the breezy column of
“Pine Grove Mentions” would not
realize that the writer, Capt. William
H. Fry, has been laid up the past six
weeks with injuries of the right hip
and back sustained in a fall on an icy
pavement on January 13th. How he
manages to gather so many interest-
ing items regarding the folks of his
neighborhood is a mystery, but it
shows his remarkable determination to
follow along regardless of any and all
handicaps. Capt. Fry, by the way, is
now in his eighty-fourth year, which
to any ordinary man would be a suf-
ficient excuse to sit back and take
things easy. But he is endowed with
an unusual amount of vital energy and
has been so active all his life that he
just can’t sit still and keep quiet. He
has his own room in his comfortable
home at Pine Grove Mills where he
manages to keep fairly busy during
the daytime, and although he is im-
proving slowly he still has to have as-
sistance in going from one part of the
house to another.
Mail Delivery Suspended on Half
Moon Hill.
Thirty-seven houses and as many
families on Half-Moon hill are with-
out free mail delivery because the road
up there is so bad that Uncle Sam has
directed his carrier not to risk travel-
ing over it. Seven of the homes are
in the borough and thirty in Spring
township.
The borough has no street opened on
Half-Moon hill and since the abandon-
ment of the old road over the hill lead-
ing up the Buffalo Run valley, many
years ago, there has been no road from
the borough line out over the hill. That
section has been built up in recent
years, many nice homes are located out
there and some of their owners have
automobiles. The result of the in-
creased traffic because of the building
that has been done has been to cut the
trails the people up there used so bad-
ly that they are now practically im-
passable.
Last fall they petitioned to have a
township road opened and a board of
viewers was appointed. It made a
survey of the situation and was im-
pressed with the feeling that some-
thing should be done but the location
of the township school house is such
as to block what the viewers regarded
as the best location for a road. Con-
sequently they failed to recommend
one but did suggest that the super-
visors and school directors of Spring
township might acquire from the Bush
estate land enough on the south side
of the school building to make up for
the land on the north side of the build-
ing that would have to be used as
road way for the most feasible route
out over the hill. The chairman of the
board of viewers told us on Tuesday
that if this were done the road would
undoubtedly be granted.
Whatever the difficulties it is cer-
tain that something ought to be done
for these people.
homes there, they pay taxes, are good
citizens and deserve a road-way and
the need is emphasized when it has
come to the point that their mail de-
livery has been cut off because they
have none.
Mrs. W. R. North Has Arrived Safely
at Shanghai, China.
Last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Shuey received a letter from their
daughter, Mrs. W. R. North, in which
she conveyed the cheering intelligence
that she and little Billy had reached
Shanghai in safety after a rather
thrilling trip ‘down the Yangtse river.
But she had not heard from her hus-
band, Dr. North, for over ten days and
the only knowledge she had of his
probable whereabouts was conjecture
that he also was on his way down the
river, as all foreigners had been order-
ed to leave the interior of China.
..{. Readers of the Watchman will recall
that several weeks ago we published
the fact that all foreign women and
children had been ordered out of
Chungking, where the North’s have
been located the past year or more,
and that Mrs. North and Billy were
then on their way down the Yangtse
river with a number of other women
missionaries and children. The urgent
manner of their leaving Chungking
prevented them taking along any-
thing save the most necessary articles
of clothing requisite for their comfort
on the trip.
This was one reason why the men
all remained behind, to not only pro-
tect their property but pack as much
of it as possible to take along with
them out of China, should they have
the time and be permitted to do so.
From the tone of the letter of Mrs.
North she really left so empty handed
that when she arrived at Shanghai she
was badly in need of clothing, and per-
haps money, although it is very prob-
able that every care possible will be
extended by the American consul at
Shanghai. Mrs. North stated that
there is talk in Shanghai of sending
all of them to Manilla, but she hopes
they will be permitted to remain in
Shanghai until Dr. North reaches that
city.

Check Forger Again Reaps Reward
in Bellefonte.
Last Thursday afternoon a man
dressed as a day laborer walked into
the Nittany shoe store, made a smail
purchase and presented in payment a
$23 check bearing the signature of
Blair Fisher. Mr. Fisher is a young
farmer at Snow Shoe Intersection and
his real signature on a check would
be taken in most any store without
question. The check was accepted at
the Nittany shoe store but later it
was detected to be a forgery. The
man also succeeded in having one for
the same amount cashed at the Martin
restaurant. Police chief Dukeman
was put on the trail Friday morning
but the man had left town, having
gone out on the early morning train
over the Lewisburg. .

He motored up from his home town and
while there was plenty of snow on the road
from Millheim to Old Fort the going was
not bad, and when he struck the state
highway he found it pretty well cleaned
off, so that motoring to Bellefonte was not
such a hard job, considering the depth of
the snowfall.
—O0. H. Nason, of Julian, was a Belle-

case. Orie, by the way, is offering for
sale all his property in Bald Eagle valley,
which includes a nice farm between Martha
and Julian, his gas station and old home-
