Plutocratic Cry of Dispair.
The public service corporations,
more especially those embraced in the
electric power trust, are badly disap-
pointed in the Federal Trade Com-
mission. Having -spent approximate-
ly a million dollars to get the investi-
gation of the trust committed to the
Trade Commission instead of a Sen-
ate committee, as contemplated by
Senator Walsh, the trust expected a
casual inquiry into its activities. In-
stead of that the Trade Commission
has gone to the work in real earnest-
ness and exposed some sinister opera-
tions that have considerably incensed
public sentiment and threatens to de-
feat all the carefully laid and enor-
mously expensive plans of the con-
spirators.
Thomas N. McCarter, president of
the Public Service Corporation, of
New Jersey, speaking before a large
group of officials of the United Gas
Improvement company, in Philadel-
phia, the other evening, expressed not
only his disappointment but his indig-
nation, at the turn the affair has tak-
en. He blames it all on the Senate,
which originated the investigation,
and denounced that body as “a rad-
ical body quite largely composed,
with, of course, many notable excep-
tions, of self-seeking theorists and
demagogues who seriously threaten
the country’s welfare.” When the
Senate was called “the Millionaire's
Club” Mr. McCarter admits that the
Senators “carried with them sound
and conservative principles of govern-
ment.”
What Mr. McCarter really means is
that at a previous period the Senate
cordially and enthusiastically ap-
proved every scheme or enterprise
the millionaires outside of “the club”
wanted, and for that reason those
who composed the body then “had a
firm faith in the form and structure
cf the government.”
ares and cherish the idea that the
common people are entitled to con-
sideration in legislation, have broken
in and consequently the whole bunch
has gone to “the demnition bow-
wows.” Some few people may sym-
pathize with McCarter in his griev- |
ance but the majority will still hope.
—There is a lot of truth in what
Congressman Everett Kent, of North-
ampton county, is saying about the
Democratic organization in Pennsyl-
vania. And there is a lot of bunk, too.
It might have amounted to little be-
fore it was reorganized but it has
amounted to a darn sight less since.

that the reorganizers turned out
elected a Governor twice and a State
State Treasurer once in Pennsylva-
nia, they had creditable representa-
tion in both ends of the capitol in
Harrisburg and enough Congressmen
in Washington to be seen and heard.
And what have the reorganizers done
since and what have we got now?
Nothing that you could notice. Also
we want to tell Congressman Kent
that he’s all wet when he says the
reorganizers were for Wilson. They
were for Champ Clark, had him up to
Harrisburg to address them but when
they discovered that Wilson was the
best bet they deserted Clark for the
Jersey Governor, then they grabbed
off every good job the State Democ-
racy was entitled to and promptly for-
got that they owed anything to their
party. We know that our organiza-
tions in Philadelphia and Allegheny
counties are just as “bi-partisan” as
Mr. Kent says they are, but they are
not biting the hand that feeds them.
And that’s what the reorganizers did
to the Democrats of Pennsylvania.

New York every year. It is a need-
less waste of value that could be
averted if the public would only come
to realize that all waste is costly.
In New York milk would be cheaper
if its dispensers did not have to figure
in this enormous annual loss in con-

them or hold them out are paying
for it, though they have no idea they
are.

TATE.—Miss Alice Priscilla Tate,
practically a life-long resident of
Bellefonte, died at the Altoona hos-
pital, at 11.40 o'clock on Monday
night, as the result of injuries sus-
tained in a fall in the infirmary of
the Methodist home, in Tyrone, where
she had been a guest for the past
eighteen months.
She was a daughter of George W.
and Bella Hall Tate and was bora in
Bellefonte seventy-five years ago.
‘Her father, during his active life, was
the leading contractor in Bellefonte,
having built the Bush house and the
Methodist church, as well as various
business blocks and dwelling houses.
Miss Bell’s mother died when she was
a small child and her father remar-
ried, but she remained at home until
his death when she went to live with
her uncle and aunt, Samuel A. and
Priscilla ‘W. Bell, remaining with
them until both had passed away.
During the latter years of his life Mr.
Bell had been registrar of vital statis-
tics for Bellefonte borough and at
his death Miss Tate was given the
appointment, a position she filled with
great care. and punctiliousness until
her health became impaired and she
decided to go to the Methodist home.
She was a member of the Methodist
church from girlhood and always a
devout Christian. :
Miss Tate's nearest surviving rela-
tives are three cousins, Mrs. George
A. Beezer, Mrs. W. I. Fleming and
Benton D. Tate, all of Bellefonte. The
late “Monte” Ward, of New York,
was also a cousin. The remains were
brought to Bellefonte yesterday
morning and taken directly to the
Methodist church, where funeral serv-
ices were held by Rev. Homer Knox,
burial being made in the Union cem-
etery.

FOSTER.—Rev. Milton K. Foster
D. D., the oldest member of the Cen-
tral Pennsylvania conference of the
Methodist church, and at one time
pastor of the Bellefonte church, died
at his home in Williamsport, last Fri-
day, as the result of a fractured hip
and other injuries he sustained when
blown over on the pavement during a
hard wind storm about five weeks ago.
Dr. Foster was bern in Lewisberry,
York county, on February 22nd, 1837,
hence was 91 years, 3 months and 4
days old. He was ordained as a min-
ister in the Methodist church in 1858,
when only twenty-one years old, and
for fifty-four years continued in ac-
tive service. During that time he

Miss Louise Callaway, daughter of
Mrs. Elizabeth Calloway. Twelve
years ago they located at Flushing,
Long Island, where Mr. Garber was
manger for the British-American
Chemical company, and during the
World war was associated with the
L. W. F. Engineering company. Fol-
lowing the close of the war he went
into the real estate business but his
condition had been so bad the past
J year that he was unable to do any-
thing. His only survivors are his
wife and one brother, Ralph E. Gar-

The remains were brought to Belle-
fonte on Tuesday morning and taken
to the Bush apartment, where fun-

“The Mikado” Next Monday, Mati-
nee and Night.
The High school glee club has been
working for weeks on their final show
for the year, which will be presented
in the Richelieu theatre: on Monday
evening, June 4, at 8:15.
Most everyone is familiar with this
charming comic opera by Gilbert and
Sullivan, so no description is needed.
No effort has been spared to make
this show a worthy successor to
“M’lle Modiste,” put on by the club
several months ago. The beautiful
music, the clever lines, the inimitable
humor, the gorgeous Japanese set-
ting, the brilliant costuming, have all
received their full attention. The

as well as all soldier dead who fought
to preserve the sanctity of their
homes and the preservation of the
Union.
In Bellefonte religious services
were held in the Reformed church, on
Sunday morning, an@ there was a
good attendance to hear the patriotic
discourse of the pastor, Rev. Robert
Thena.
Between showers, on Wednesday
morning, members of the - American
Auxiliary managed to place floral dec-
orations on all the soldiers’ graves
in the Union cemetery. Appropriate
services were also held in the Cath-
olic cemetery during the morning.
Rain, however, interfered with the
program for the afternoon services in
the Union cemetery, scheduled to take
place at two o’clock, and the result
was the services were held at the
court house where the address of the
day was delivered by Dr. Carroll B.
Champlin, of State College.
But the rain did not stop the par-
ade to the Union cemetery, although
it was almost half an hour late in
leaving the Diamond, but when it did
move it was made up as follows:

At the annual meeting of the West

the ministers and laymen went on
record as approving the $50,000,00L
bond issue which will come before the
voters at the November election for
endorsement, for the purpose of fi-
nancing the building and equipment of
an institution for the care of penal
offenders, delinquents, mental defect-
ives, epileptics and mentally diseased
persons, at Selinsgrove.
Rev. Robert Thena, of Bellefonte,
was chosen one of the delegates to at-
tend the twenty-third triennial ses-
sions of the General Synod of the
church to be held at Indianapolis, Ind.,
during May, 1929.
Rev. G. A. Fred Greising, of
Aaronsburg, was elected reading
clerk of the Classis and Centre coun-

Is Ours the Next Largest Spring in
the Country?
All of us have lived beside the:
“Big Spring” so long that we don’t
look on it with the same eye of won-
derment and covetousness as the-
stranger visiting Bellefonte does.
Some weeks ago Col. Jim Maret,
touring manager of the Lexington,
Kentucky, automobile club, was here
to see the spring. Col. Maret has
been making an investigation of the
springs in the country and according
to his figures the one from which our
town derives its name is the second
largest.
Included in his list of big springs:
are the Silver Spring near Ocala,
Florida, with a daily flow of about
600,000,000 gallons. It is the head of
Silver river and is so large that.
steamboats ply on it.
Big Spring, Bellefonte, with a dai--
ly flow of 11,500,000 gallons.
Sulphur Springs, near Tampa, Flor--
ida, daily flow 2,040,000 gallons.
Green Cove spring, Florida, daily-
flow 4,320,000 gallons. :
Crystal spring, Roanoke, Va., daily:
flow 1,488,000 gallons,
Payne spring, Harrodsburg, Ky.,.
daily flow 1,200,000 gallons.
Big spring, Belle Vista, Arkansas,.
daily flow 1,152,000 gallons.
Haverly spring, Morristown, Ten--
nessee, 1,008,000 gallons.
Royal spring, Georgetown, Ky., dai-
ly flow 480,000 gallons.

Coccidiosis Takes Costly Toll of
Young Chicks in Centre County.
Results of a survey made of a num-
ber of poultry flocks in Centre county
by H. D. Monroe, poultry specialist
of State College, and R. C. Blaney,
county agent, show there has been
considerable loss of young chicks in
Centre county this spring.
A large percentage of this loss is
due from a disease known as Cocci-
diosis, which was found to be preva-
lent in practically all of the flocks
visited. This disease is caused by a
small protozoan that injures the cell
walls of the intestines. The organ-
isms are voided in large numbers in
the droppings of the sick chickens,
and after being exposed to the air for i
four or five days are a source of dan- |
ger to the flock. A number of flocks
were found where losses had been
very heavy and in other cases the dis- |
ease is in a sleeping stage and some
warm damp weather will bring it on !
and cause considerable loss. Coccidi- |
osis usually affects chicks between !
three and twelve weeks of age. Early
symptoms are loss of yellow color
from the beaks and shanks of the
chicks. Affected chicks usually pass !
blood in their droppings and act very
sleepy. A post-mortem examination
would reveal blood or a cheesey ma--
terial in caeca. :
The disease can be controlled by
feeding a diet rich in milk. Any form
of milk can be used, such as whole
milk, sour milk, skimmed milk, but-
ter-milk or any of the powdered
forms of milk. Where liquid milk is
used the chicks should not have any-
thing to eat in addition to the milk
except some green feed for two or
three days. In case powdered milk is
used it should be mixed in a mash
according to the following directions:
40% of powdered milk to 60% of
mash. In case it is desirable to use
the regular growing mash, it would
be advisable to use 30% of the pow-
dered milk with 70% of the mash.
Scratch grain should not be fed dur-
ing the treatment. The birds will’
drink large quantities of water dur-
ing this treatment and usually recov-
er in from a week to ten days. Ex-
treme care should be taken to keep:
the houses clean during the treat-
ment. Until the chicks are mature:
the houses should be cleaned approxi-
mately every five days. Sanitation is
very important as a preventative
measure. If possible to keep the
chicks in the houses during the treat-
ment which will prevent contamina-
tion of the soil, which might cause
considerable trouble later.

Three Bellefonte Women Hurt in
Auto Accident.
On Sunday afternoon Samuel Me-
Ginley took his mother, Mrs. A. L.
McGinley, Mrs. H. M. Wetzel and her
daughter, Miss Mildred, on an auto
ride to Lewistown, in the McGinley
Studebaker car. Coming down the.
mountain on the return trip home;,
one of the front wheels struck a good’
| sized stone lying in the road which)
threw the front of the car around and’
naturally Sam put on the emergency"
brakes. As he did so the rear end of"
the car swung around and the ma-
chine turned completely over, landing,
on its wheels right in the road. One:
rear wheel was smashed, glass brok--
en: and the car otherwise damaged..
Passing motorists brought the in--
jured to:Bellefonte and Mrs. McGinley
;and Mrs. Wetzel were taken to the:
Centre County hospital. Mrs. McGinley
has a fractured right collar bone and
two cuts on her head as well as a
number of bruises. Mrs. Wetzel sus-
tained a bad bruise on the right chest
and several minor cuts and bruises.
Miss Mildred was not seriously hurt
and Sam’s only injury was a bump
on the head.
Don’t Pluck Wild Flowers by the
Wayside.
Don’t pluck wild flowers by the
wayside or in the woodlands, if you
don’t want to get into trouble. A re-
cent act of the Legislature provides a
fine or imprisonment for breaking off
or pulling up by the roots, wild flow-
ers .and shrubs on the lands of an-
other, or in the woodlands of the
State, and’ state highway patrolmen
have received orders to enforce the
law. So when you are driving along
a mountain road and notice a bush of
the fragrant honeysuckle, better keep
on driving.
—It is gratifying to know that
Senator Borah didn’t spend much in
his campaign for President. He didn’t
go very far, either.

—Of all the candidates interrogat-
ed’ Mr. Hoover is the only one who
showed resentment. Probably he was
afraid of the facts.
