Tid-Bits from the Warner-American
News.
Embellishing the front cover of the
Warner-American News for April is a
reproduction of a charcoal sketch of '
Solomon Koski, now captain of the big
mine at the American Lime and Stone
company’s plant, near Bellefonte. Mr.
Koski came to Bellefonte over five
years ago with the E. J. Longyear
company as mine foreman and assist-
ed in the work of putting down the
mine. When the latter was completed
the late A. G. Morris made him an
offer to remain as mine captain and
he accepted, and is still on the job.
With his wife and three children he
lives in a comfortable home near the
plant. The sketch from which the
picture was reproduced was drawn by
Robert Valentine, a lime inspector
with the company.
Among the “Bellefonte Blasts” in
the News we notice that Fred S.
Bloom has resigned his position as
superintendent of the rotary kilns and
gone to Pittsburgh to accept a position
with the Jones-Laughlin Steel com-
pany.
George Kellerman, employed in the
electrical department at the plant, has
purchased a house on south Allegheny
street, Bellefonte, and will remodel it
into a comfortable home for himself
and family.
The “Governor” Restaurant.
John F. Marks, on Monday, pur-
chased from the trustee in bankruptcy
the furnishings of the Knisely restau-
rant, in Crider’s Exchange, being
given possession on Tuesday. With
his experience in the restaurant busi-
ness, and knowing the advantages of
an up-to-date eating place uptown,
Mr. Marks has decided to open up the
restaurant after the needed repairs
and improvements are made, which
will be about the first of May. He
has already decided to call his new
venture “The Governor” restaurant
and will conduct it on a scale in keep-
ing with its name.

' BOROUGH COUNCIL
HOLDS BRIEF MEETING.
Only six members were present at
the regular meeting of borough coun-
cil, on Monday evening, but that num-
ber was sufficient to transact all the
business that was brought up.
There were no verbal nor written
communications, but the secretary
reported that he had written the
Underwriters’ Association regarding
the movement to obtain lower insur-
ance rates but had not yet received a
reply.
The Street committee reported the
laying of a sanitary sewer on north
water street and also one for surface
drainage. The committee also report-
ed the collection of $20 from Clarence
street and that all but ten dollars of
the $170.00 pledged by residents of
i Blanchard street for a sewer extention
| have been paid. One bid has been re-
ceived for digging the ditch for the
, sewer, but as other bids are expected
. it was not made public.
The Water committee reported re-
pairs to several meters and water lines
cand also that one of the cylinders on
‘the gravity pump at the Phoenix sta-
| tion is in bad condition and an effort
will be made to repair it. In the
meantime a letter of inquiry has been
, sent to the manufacturers of the pump
' asking the price of a new cylinder snd
how quickly it can be furnished when
needed.
The committee also reported that a
{| water tap had been requested by a
| resident of Wilson street, opposite
i Linn street, and the committee ree-
ommended the laying of a four inch
pipe a distance of about two hundred
| feet so as to afford fire protection in
| that locality. Report was also made
| that Malcolm Young had requested
both water and sewer service up west
Lamb street to a new house he is
going to build on Halfnioon Terrace,
| and that five new consumers of water
(had been added to the east Howard
| street line. The recommendation of
the committee that the water exten-
sion be made was approved by council.
The secretary read for the first time
a new sewer ordinance presented by
' the Street committee which provides
| for the payment of $30 for a sewer
tap for a single house and $60 for a
| double house; and anyone making a
| tap without taking out a permit to be
' liable to a fine of not less than $30
{ nor more than $50. After the reading
.of the ordinance one or more members
ete, as the sewage to take care of
from those is very much greater than
from a single house. The ordinance
was referred back to the committee
and have the changes made.

BOOST CENTRE COUNTY.
The phenomenal growth of Cali-
fornia can be directly attributed to
the fact that everybody who lives in
that State a few months becomes so
imbued with the natural advantages
it offers that he turns into an invet-
erate booster. After the gold craze
had subsided in the period immediate-
ly following the Civil war the citizens
of California recognized the necessity
of finding other attractions to continue
the tide of immigration in that direc-
tion, so they began systematically to
acquaint the world with the salubrious
| climate of the State for health and
{ comfort and its possibilities for fruit
raising and other paying industries.
'It has not been long since the whole
{ country was flooded with literature
filled with extravagant but delightful
! descriptions of that wonderful country
| and its possibilities. So powerful was
i their appeal that probably everybody
in the United States, as well as in
many other parts of the world, has
at some time ardently longed to join
| the caravan and move to California.
Yet, if you want to know the real
truth of the matter, there are as many
"drawbacks to California in climate
“and opportunity as there are in many
other States, though different in char-
‘acter. However, boosting did the trick
and took hordes of ambitious people
westward, so that Los Angeles has
‘grown from a population of 200,000
| to more than a million in less than
‘ten years. These people took their
money, their brains, and their brawn
with them; and they, too, have become
boosters of California because they
have learned that it pays to boost.
When we stop to think about it, we
find that we have many splendid at-
tractions in our own county; so many,
in fact, that most of us are delighted
to settle down and live here in content-
ment the rest of our lives. There are as
many natural beauties in our wooded
, mountains and winding streams as
there are in any country in the world.
The phenomenal beauties of our scen-
ery are unsurpassed. We have many
natural resources, such as the exhaust-
less lime and coal deposits, the fertile
, valleys, wonderfully healthful air, the
- best mountain water in the world and
‘many prosperous and wide awake
. cities and towns among the hills in
, the very center of the greatest Com-
monwealth in the land. Many other
, communities which are doing a lot of
, boosting of their own towns would be
glad to have the natural advantages of
Bellefonte, Philipsburg, State College,
Centre Hall, Millheim and Howard,
but they advertise their own towns be-
cause it pays. Pays in money and
employment, in opportunity for cul- |
ture and in many other ways.
Unfortunately there lare some peo-
i ple who have not learned the tremen-
Sr fletriment it is to a community for
one of its citizens to knock the insti-
‘tutions and individuals of his own
town... They. seem to think it a mark
cry. the best things of the place in
which they live, but on the contrary,
it is a mark of ignorance and coward- |
ice, and it is extremely unwise, be-
cause there are times when a small |
current of adverse criticism will do ii-
réparable damage.
* Take for instance our churches. The
churches of Centre county are attend-
ed by some of the best intentioned
people God ever made and are served
by able and devoted pastors. Through
their sacrifice and earnest efforts they ;
are trying to save our young from
lives of thriftlessness and crime.
Every adverse criticism, however cov-
ertly spoken, makes it more difficult |
for them to perform that service. Who
knows but that the young man they
fail to influence may not become a |
criminal who will rob the home or
murder a member of the family of the
thoughtless critic.
Centre county has a very fine and
efficient hospital for which many loyal
citizens, including the earnest women
of the Women’s Auxiliary, the medical |
staff and the self-sacrificing board of
trustees are constantly striving to im-
prove. These good people depend to a
great extent upon the liberality of the
people for funds with which to pro-
cure equipment and an efficient per-
sonnel to make it possible to save the
lives of citizens who are sent to the
hospital for treatment. Suppose that
some unwise statement of a short-
sighted critic would cause some phil-
anthropic person to draw his purse
hospital would be deprived of some
appliance which would later be found
necessary to save the life of one of
our citizens. Who knows but that the
person thus sacrificed will not be a
member of the critic’s own family?
Knocking is an expensive game. We
cannot afford to engage in it. It is
much better to spend our time and
words in boosting—boosting our
schools, our churches, our homes, our
people, our beautiful little towns, our
mountains, our industries, and all we
have that is good and useful about us.
Better still to put our shoulders to
the wheel and help make all these
blessings even better than they now
are.
There was never a time more ap-
propriate for universal boosting than |
the coming weeks immediately pre-
| ceding the Hospital Membership
drive, which begins May 12th, Nation-
al Hospital day. The hospital man-
! agement is inviting the people of Cen-
tre county to visit the hospital, espe-
cially on May 12th, the anniversary of
the birthday of Florence Nightingale,
the patron saint of hospital service.
The Centre County hospitdl is your
institution, and they are anxious for |
i you to see it in operation. If there
of superior wisdom or bravery to de- |
11s any doubt in your mind regarding
its management, go and see its effi-
ciency and utility first-hand.
The public is welcome to visit the
hospital at any time, but the board
is distributing circulars and posters
throughout the county extending a
cordial invitation to each citizen not
only to visit the hospital at this spe-
cial time, but also to become a mem:
ber of the Hospital Corporation by the
annual payment of the fee of one dol-
lar or more, while this membership
drive is in progress. Now is the time
to boost and to help your hospital.

What a Patient Thinks of the Hospital.
Just now when an effort is being
made to enlist the interest of the peo-
ple of Centre county in the Centre
County hospital it will probably be
enlightening to many to know what
patients think of the institution. For
i this reason we publish the following
letter received recently from a patient
“who experienced the advantages cf the
i hospital as the proper place to take
care of the sick:
, To the Centre County Hospital:
It is my duty as well as my pleasure
to express my gratitude and deep
appreciation of the kindness and lov-
ing service shown me in the Centre
County hospital of Bellefonte.
The hospital itself is worthy of the
city. Much wisdom has been shown
in the selection of its site, surrounded
by the beautiful hills, ard overlooking
i the town. The many roads leading
into it are most interzsting.
{ The view from my window, and
, from the sun parlor, is one of untiring
| interest and beauty.
The building itself is immaculate in
; its cleanliness and free from all odors.
As for the management and nurs-
, ing staff, I cannot say enough; every
{ one willing and ready with a smile to
do whatever their part may be.

The Lake at Penns Cave Completed.
Preparatory to making Penns Cave
even more attractive than it has come
to be since automobiles have made
access to it so easy the Campbell
brothers have just completed another
improvement there.
They have built a dam across the
stream that flows out of the cave, two
miles below the outlet, and blasted the
outlet large enough for the passage of
a boat. The dam will back the water
clear up to the level of that in the
cave, so that when it is filled up visit-
ors to the cave can be taken clear
| through it, out onto the dam for a
| long ride and then back through the
j cavern again, to the entrance.
