—A few more days like Wednesday and many of us will be putting in early potatoes, Do you know that seed potatoes are actually very scarce and hard to get. Good ones are sell- ing at three dollars a bushel and not many are to be had at that price. The local crop last season was very infer- jor and if you are going to grow any potatoes we would advise taking ev- ery precaution to insure your next crop against a poor yield of scabby products. Dipdust is the new treat- ment suggested as the best safeguard. It is cheap, easy to apply and has the endorsement of the United States Department of Agriculture. No mat- ter whether you are going to plant a few in your garden or acres of them it might pay you handsomely to try Dipdust. Certainly it won't cost you anything if it doesn’t get results, for your money will be refunded should such prove the case. Dipdust can be bought at Runkle’s drug store, either in wholesale or retail quantity.

Bellefonte’s Meanest Man Steals Boy's New Shoes. Every town and village has its “meanest man,” and from an incident that happened in Bellefonte Saturday there is one here who stands well up at the head of the class for mean- ness. About half the people in Bellefonte know the potato chip boy, Franklin Houser, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Houser. He is twelve or thirteen years old and an honest, manly lad. Every week he makes his rounds with a big basket selling potato chips to regular customers and any others who will buy. But whether you buy or not he always has a smile on his face and a cheerful greeting. Last week Frank wanted and need- ed a new pair of shoes, so he went to Yeager’s Tiny Shoe Shop and tried on a number of pairs. Finally he found a pair that fitted him well and just suited his taste, and he had them laid aside until Saturday morning, after he sold his potato chips, when he said he would have money enough to pay for them. When he had sold all his chips but two bags which he had reserved for Mr. W. H. Barthol- omew, a regular customer, he counted his money and had enough. He then went to Yeager’s, got the shoes and putting them in his basket, marched proudly down street to the McNitt of- fice, on Spring street. He placed his basket on the pave- ment, took the two packages of pota- to chips and went inside to deliver them to Mr. Bartholomew. He wasn’t in the office much over a minute but when he came out his shoes were gone. A small camera he had in his basket was not disturbed. There was no one near whom he could blame for taking the shoes and with tears relling down his cheeks he went back to Yeager’s and told of his misfor- tune. A man in the store at the time vol- unteered information that the shoes would turn up before the day was ov- er; that whoever stole them would probably not find them the right fit and come in to exchange them. And se it happened. About 7.30 Satur- day evening a man entered the shop and putting on a bold face walked up to Mr. Yeager and demanded to know the kind of business they did there. He then unrolled the shoes and said that he had been given them by a man down street to have them ex- changed as both shoes were for the left foot. And this ‘is probably the reason they were taken back. Pat Rine had waited on the Houser boy and when he gave him the shoes he gave the lefts of two pairs and put the rights on the shelf. Mr. Yeager promptly told the man that those shoes had been stolen from a boy that morning, and he would keep them for him. The man protested that. he had not stolen them, maip- taining that they. had been given to him to exchange by a boy in Cole- ville. But the potato chip boy was a happy lad when he got his shoes back Saturday night. —Challenge value, $19.75 buys a Cogswell chair, upholstered in excel- lent quality tapestries and velours, at W. R.

On the committee as chairman is A. Lawrence Kocher, a former instructor in architecture at State College, but now of Washing- ton, D. C., who is one of the leaders in the movement, and who decries the destruction of old buildings as noth- ing less than vandalism. Mr. Kocher has been charged with the work of enlisting the support of more than three thousand architects in all parts of the country, who are members of the Institute. : “Many of the most admirable land- marks of American architecture are swept away each year in the trans- formation of cities,” Mr. Kocher stated. “Commercial and economic progress has meant the doom of many cherished public and private buildings.” Even in Centre county there are a number of old houses that can be pointed out as dating back to al- most colonial times. : —Special showing of overstuffed living room suites.

This is not an advertisement. It is a statement of one who has seen the pictures mentioned and knows movies.

The American Legion will present their annual production, “Frolics of 1928,” at the State theatre next Thursday and Friday evenings. The show this year is in two acts and sev- enteen scenes, opening with a min- strel in which all of the favorites of other years will again be seen and heard. Among the “end men” who will take part are Nevin Noll, Her- bert Beezer, Pat Gherrity, Dan Clemson, John Smith and Frank Holmes. “Doc” Williams will again be the “middle man.” The second half of the show is along revue lines, with one big scenic effect following another. There will also be several short comedy sketches interpolated. The costumes this year are de- clared to be far more elaborate than in any of the other productions. Among the novel lighting effects car- ried out by the producers is the num- ber in which the cast is changed from black-face to white face and vice ver- sa. Another feature of the show that is expected to make a hit is the “Vie- tor Herbert Fantasy.” The producers have taken the best known numbers of the late famous composer and ar- ranged them into songs and dances. Rehearsals have been in progress for the past week under direction of Larry Drinard, who directed last year’s show. Reserve seat sale opens next Tues- day, at 9.00 a. m,, at the Gross drug store. The ticket committee reports the advance sale as being very good. Bellefonte Kiwanis Entertain Prom- inent Guests.

Bingaman resigned as a member of the board of directors in order to become secretary of the club and Frank M. Crawford was chosen to fill the vacancy on the board. Arthur H. Sloop gave an address commemorating the fourth anniver- sary of the club’s organization and introduced the 86 charter members remaining out of the original total of 64. He also read ‘a list of the de- ceased members, namely: Judge Hen-. ry C. Quigley and’ ler; Mr. Heilhecker, Charles R. Kurtz, Thomas Hazel and T. Clayton Brown. Bennie Gurley Released from Rock- view by Pardon. Bennie Gurley, of Cambria county, was released from Rockview peniten- tiary, on Saturday, on a pardon grant- ed by Governor Fisher the day pre- vious. Gurley was serving a term for second degree murder for killing his wife and his aplication for a par- don had been under consideration by the ‘board of pardons since its Janu- ary meeting, when his application was presented. , Gurley was the chef at the war- den’s residence and one of the argu- ments used by his attorney in pre- senting his application for a pardon was that “he was worked like a slave.” He stated that Gurley had to Judge Harry Kel- | travel a mile and a half every morn- ing from the prison to the warden’s | residence and back again to the pris- | Whether this ar- on late at night. gument worked in his favor, or not, has not been divulged, and probably don’t matter to Gurley so long as he got his pardon.
