Schools to Plant Trees.
In 1927 students in 177 publie
schools and colleges of Pennsylvania
planted 475,000 forest trees on idle
forest lands near the school buildings.
This is an excellent record. Tree
planting by schools is a commendable
work.
During the month of April, 1928,
the Pennsylvania Department of For-
ests and Waters will furnish forest
trees to public schools free of charge,
except the small cost of transporta-
tion. This cost should not exceed 60
cents per thousand trees. The only
consideration in receiving trees with-
out cost is that the students will help
to plant them. White pine, Scotch
pine, and Japanese larch seedlings
that are from 4 to 10 inches in height
will be furnished. .
A school teacher who desires to get
free trees should secure permission
from a property owner to plant the
trees on idle land near the school.
Steep slopes, rocky areas and other
lands that are not cultivated are suit-
able locations. Then he should write
the Department of Forests and Wat-
ers, Harrisburg, Pa., for an applica-
tion form or get a copy from the local
District Forester. After the informa-
tion on the application is filled in, the
application will be returned to the
Department of Forests and Waters,
Harrisburg. Complete instructions
for planting will be supplied upon re-
ceipt of your application. When the
trees arrive the teacher will take the
school as a body to the place where
they are to be planted. The larger
pupils will dig holes with mattocks
and the others will plant a tree in
each hole. The holes will be dug 5x5
feet apart which will require 1750
trees to the acre.
Less than 500 trees of one kind
cannot be supplied. Five hundred
trees may seem to be a large number.
However, if the pupils are well or-
ganized, a school having the average
number of students will plant them in
a few hours.
Forest tree planting has proven to
be a very fascinating work and pupils
have shown much interest in it. By
supplying free trees from the State
nurseries every school has an oppor-
tunity to help in this timely and im-
portant work.

Presbyterian Missionary Societies to
Meet in Altoona,
The annual meeting of the Woman's
Missionary society in the Presbytery
of Huntingdon will be held in Altoona,
Tuesday and Wednesday, April 3rd
and 4th, 1928. The first sessions will
be on Tuesday evening, at 7:30 o’clock,
Wednesday morning, at 9.15 o’clock,
and Wednesday afternoon, at 1.30
o'clock. The president, Mrs. Mary W.
Newlin, will preside at all the ses-
sions.
Among the speakers will be Miss
Gertrude Schultz, representing the
Foreign Board of Missions, and who
recently returned from a trip around
the world; Miss Mary Jane Corbett,
national Missionary among Southern
Mountaineers; Miss Eva L. Smawley,
Missionary from China. On Tuesday
evening, a pageant, “Serving Two
Masters,” will be presented by young
people of the Third church, Altoona,
for which there will be seats reserved
for the young people.
Representatives from the various
women’s societies and young people’s
organizations of the Presbytery will
be in attendance. The executive board
of the Presbytery will meet in the
church auditorium at 1 p. m. o’clock,
Tuesday, April 3rd.
Public Sale Season Will End This
Week.
The annual spring season of public
sales of farm stock and implements
will virtually end this week, and tak-
en as a whole better prices have been
realized than in any year since 1920,
when the aftermath of the World war
still held sway. Most of the big sales
this year brought to the owner very
good returns, running anywhere from
five to over six thousand dollars.
Horses have been in good demand
and brought prices ranging up to
$200. But the greatest demand, prob-
ably was for dairy cows. This was
evidently the result of Centre county
farmers devoting more of their en-
ergies to dairying, and also the fact
that most of the county herds have
been tested for tuberculosis, and own-
ers made this a point in advertising
their sales. The result was big prices
for good stock. In fact cows sold
anywhere from $150 to $222.50, bet-
ter prices even than horses. Hogs,
sheep and chickens also brought good
prices. All kinds of farm machinery
also brought about all it was worth.
__M. R. Smith, a native of Burnside,
Clearfield county, has accepted a posi-
tion with the Beatty Motor company,
the local Ford dealer. Mr. Smith has
been identified with the Ford end of
the automobile business since 1911.
He spent seven years in the service
department of the Ford Motor com-
pany, at Pittsburgh, and knows Ford |
service from beginning to end. The
Ford owners in Bellefonte and vicin-
ity are fortunate in having at their
command a man as capable as Mr.
Smith. The family, who at present
reside in Burnside, will move to Belle-
fonte as soon as their children finish
the present school term.
—Arrangements have been com-
pleted for the annual minstrel show
to be given by the Academy students
on Thursday night, May 24, in the
new State theatre. Indications are
that this will exceed all former shows
put on by these boys. The following
evening, Friday, May 25, the Minstrel
dance, among the most delightful so-
cial affairs of the year, will be given
in the Hecla dance auditorium.
eee ten leet
— Miss Mary Harvey, pianist, and
her brother, Orvis Harvey, violinist,
will give an invitation recital in the
chapel of the Presbyterian church, on
Wednesday afternoon, April 4, at
three o’clock.
Announces Third Music Institute.
Announcement of the third annual
Institute of Music Education to be
held at the Pennsylvania State Col-
lege summer session has been made
by Professor R. W. Grant, director
of college music. This special train-
ing school for teachers and super-
visors of music will open on July 3
and continue for six weeks. Upwards
of 200 have availed themselves of the
opportunity to enroll in music insti-
tute courses at Penn State in the
past two summers, and the program
for the coming session will be in the
hands of a group of school music
specialists from Pennsylvania and
other eastern States. In a booklet
just issued from the summer session
headquarters at State College it is
pointed out that never before has the
demand for thoroughly trained music
supervisors been so insistent as at
present. ;
Engineering Students Get
Many Job Offers.
* One-third of the graduating class
of nearly 200 in the School of En-
gineering at the Pennsylvania State
College have been offered jobs by
leading public utility companies of
the State. Other companies are also
bidding for the services of the: men
who will be graduated in June, and
before commencement it is likely that
each student will have his choice of
several offers. Industrial represen-
tatives have been visiting the college
for several weeks interviewing senior
engineers. :

Altoona Bank Robbers Given Extreme
Sentences.
Pleading guilty to robbing the First
National branch bank in Altoona on
December 28, Gordon James Tuttle,
Clarence, alias, Lester, alias, Elias,
Franell, and Howard Franell were
each sentenced by Judge Marion D.
Patterson, in Blair county court at
Hollidaysburg, on Monday, to serve
from 16% years to 33 years. in the
western penitentiary, at separate and
solitary confinement at hard labor.
It was said by Richard H. Gilbert,
district attorney, that the self-con-
fessed robbers hesitated at the last
minute to submit, but were finally
convinced that they had little chance
for leniency after their confessions,
and a trial would not lighten their
sentences.
Judge - Patterson, in pronouncing
sentence upon the youths, declared
that the sentences were cumulative.
On the first count, that of breaking
and entering with intent to steal, a
fine of $200 was imposed in each case,
together with the costs and from five
to 10 years in the penitentiary. On
the bank robbery charge, the youths
were given a fine of $500 each, costs,
and from 10 to 20 years in the peni-
tentiary. On the third count, larceny,
a fine of $200 each, costs and from
one and a half to three years in the
penitentiary was the sentence of the
court, bringing the total sentence to
$900 fine and 16% to 33 years in the
penitentiary for each youth, in addi-
tion to the costs.
