SALVATION ARMY
LEAVES BELLEFONTE.
Some time ago a work was started
in Bellefonte with the thought that
there might be a field here in which
the Salvation Army could work, and
while their efforts have been limited,
yet considerable good has been ac-
complished, and Bellefonte has felt to
a degree the worth as some of our
leading citizens will testify.
Investigation proves that through
the churches, and various other or-
ganizations the field is reasonably
covered, and in addition to this fact
the financial returns show, that the
community is rather small, with its
other obligations, making the support
of an Army post here difficult.
During the past few days, confer-
ences have been held with civic and
church leaders, and upon their kindly
advice and consent, it has been decid-
ed to withdraw the Salvation Army
workers from Bellefonte. That is,
while the Salvation Army will still be
at the service of the citizens of Belle-
fonte, a post will no longer be main-
tained here. The services of the
_ workers have been transferred to a
larger community.
Regardless as to whether a dollar
is raised locally, the divisional head-
quarters of Eastern Pennsylvania
must assume any deficit here, just
as was done last year at this time.
This it can ill afford to do, seeing
that it has already taken from the
general funds to do this, and those
funds are heavily taxed at this pres-
ent season of the year.
Mr. Arthur Noble, who has been as-
sociated with the S. A. 32 years, has
been sent here from the Scranton
headquarters to adjust matters, and
to set on foot a movement which will
meet the present need, and to help
the Salvation Army leave with a
clean slate. This has been en-
dorsed by a number of leading
citizens, and an organization is in
course of formation, whereby the nec-
essary funds will be secured to meet
this present need.
Should the needfull'amount be se-
cured through this campaign it is the
purpose of the Salvation Army to
make no further appeal to the citi-
zens of Bellefonte this year, and it
will be considered a donation to the
Salvation Army work for 1929.

Historic Home Destroyed by Fire.
Saturday specials
The old Mattern homestead, which
for ninety-one years has stood as a
landmark near the forks of the road
at the Seven Stars, Huntingdon coun-
ty, was entirely destroyed by fire
about noon last Friday. The fire or-
iginated in the attic, likely from a
defective flue, and the flames spread
so rapidly that it was impossible to
save anything from the second floor,
though most of the furniture on the
first floor was removed.
The house was built in 1838 by
George Mattern, who occupied it dur-
ing his life. At his death it passed
into possession of his son, John F.
Mattern, and lately it had been occu-
pied by the latter’s son, R. Milton
Mattern. Building and contents were
partially insured.

MONTHLY PAYMENT
'
New Convenient Installment Plan Of-
fered by Largest Mutiple-
line Company.
A plan by which car owners may
buy necessary forms of insurance on
a monthly payment plan, similar to
that on which millions of people buy
their cars, homes, and other conven-
iences, has just been announced by
the largest multiple-line insurance
company and is now being offered to
the automobilists of Bellefonte anid
vicinity by B. O. Harvey, at Temple
Court.
“The policies,” says B. O. Harvey,
“are identical with those sold for
annual premiums. They are issued
for a year and monthly payments will
run for two to six months, depend-
ing on the size of the car and the
forms of insurance needed. The pol-
icies will be issued for standard rates
and a charge of 25 cents will be add-
ed to each installment.
“Under present conditions of traf-
fic,” B. O. Harvey points out, “no
one can afford to take his car out of
a garage unless he has arranged for
the protection of liability and prop-
erty damage insurance, at least. A
man never knows when he is going
to meet with an accident; never
knows when he is going to have a
lawsuit for damages, even though he
may not have been the driver at
fault. And auto damage suits are
for big amounts these days.
“It’s a wonderful thing to be able
to refer the claimants to the capable
representatives of a big insurance
company and know that the company
will not only handle the matter but
pay whatever should be paid, includ-
ing costs.
“If the man insures in the com-
pany offering this protection on the
installment payment plan, The Trav-
elers of Hartford, Connecticut, he
feels easy no matter where he drives
because The Travelers has service
offices throughout the United States
and Canada.
