most the shape of an English walnut,
is very dark and about as thick and
hard as a black walnut. The meat in
the nut has somewhat the flavor of
both the English and black walnuts.

scholastic standing, for a number of
years.

place during the latter end of the

no wonder, as he handled and disposed
of more than six thousand flowers,
tulips, hyachinths, Easter lillies, prim-
roses and cut flowers. But notwith-
standing this large output he still has
a good supply on'hand for anyone

have an ample stock on hand for
Mother’s day. He also has upwards
of fifteen thousand cabbage and to-
mato plants coming along in fine
shape."
BOROUGH BONDS SENT
HERE FOR REDEMPTION.
Council Arranges to Meet Entire Is-
sue of $93,000.
| Monday was a real, genuine April
Fool's day for Bellefonte borough of-
ficials. The mails during the day
brought to the Bellefonte banks a
total of $73,000 of the $93,000 bond is-
sue which matured that day and not
one of the present councilmen realiz-
ed that the maturity date was at
hand. Fortunately the borough sink-
ing fund amounted to $75,643.60,
which was ample to take care of all
the bonds which came in that day and
financial arrangements were made to
pay the balance of the issue as it
comes in for redemption. This
"action was approved at the regular
i meeting of borough council on Mon-
day evening. The bonds were issued
in 1899 to redeem an issue of $100,000
placed in 1893, and carried the low
interest rate of 3% per cent. They
were mostly held in Philadelphia and
New York.
Every member was present at the
meeting, on Monday evening, except
Messrs. Reynolds and Brouse. Fire

check for $25.00 from the citizens of
Centre Hall in recognition of services
rendered by the Undine Fire company
on April 11th, 1928, one third of

board of health and the secretary, ef-
fective April 1st, and on motion all

had received personal assurance from
representatives of the State board of
health that Dr. S. M. Nissley’s ap-
pointment as local health officer and
milk inspector will be approved and
he will receive his commission this
week.
Communications were received
from W. B. Rankin and Mrs. B. O
Harvey asking that they be allotted a
reasonable share of the borough in-
surance. The $25,000 policy on the
Phoenix mill expired on Monday and
inasmuch as the mortgage on the mill
rhas been considerably reduced couneil
decided . to reduce the insurance to
$20,000, and alloted $10,000 of the

{ was approved by council.
i The Finance committee reported a
balance of $3939.74 in the hands of
the borough treasurer and requested
the renewal of notes aggregating
$13,200. The committee also asked
that an order be drawn in favor of
the borough treasurer for $1651.90 to
pay the semi-annual interest on the
borough bonds. Official report was
made of the receipt of borough bonds
for redemption and as the sinking
fund is short $17,356.40 of the amount
required to meet all the bonds the
treasurer was empowered to borrow
sufficient money to pay the bonds as
they are presented.
Mr. Cobb, of the Special committee,

tire outfit to a Sunbury man who
moved everything to that place on
Monday. It is not yet definitely
known who will occupy the vacated
room.
! The Bon Mot also went out of
business, on Monday, as that room
has been rented to the A & P com-
pany for a down town store. Being
unable to secure another suitable lo-
cation Gilbert Morgan, proprietor of
the Bon Mot, has stored his stuff in
the Bush estate barn until he can find
a purchaser or another location.

week or ten days with everything
' spic and span.
PRESBYTERIAN CHAPEL
| DAMAGED BY WIND.
The high wind of Monday afternoon
| and night did more or less damage in
, Bellefonte and throughout the coun-
ty, the most serious of which, so far
as has been learned, was the tearing
off of the southwest corner of the
slate roof on the Presbyterian chapel,
jin Bellefonte. From five to six hua-
dred feet of the roof was torn off,
| pieces of slate being carried out into
the street.
Down at the Maurice Runkle home
ithe wind tore off a small corner of
| the front porch roof.
Down at Milesburg, it is reported,
The Street committee reported va- | the wind blew the top off of an open |
{ Ford car standing on the street.
Throughout the county fences were
blown down, limbs torn off of trees,
and telephone and electric wires put
out of service, temporarily, but most
of the trouble was overcome by ten
o'clock that night.
CAR STOLEN TUESDAY
' When he went to work at the Cen-
tre Democrat office, on Tuesday
morning, Homer Sprankle parked his
car across the street, near the Elks
home. Along about nine o'clock two
men nonchalently climbed into the
car and drove away. They came
down High street and drove north on
Water street toward Milesburg.
When Sprankle discovered that his
car was gone he notified chief of po-
lice Hary Dukeman who at once tele-
phoned Tyrone and Altoona police of- |
| ficials to be on a lookout for the car.
| About five o'clock in the evening a
| telephone message was received from
! Altoona stating that the car had been
found there, having been abandoned
ion a side street by the car thieves,
| The men who took it are reported to
be from Ohio, and probably contin-
ued their trip west by train.
, KATO WOMAN DROWNS
IN BEECH CREEK.
The dead body of Mrs. George Se-
pos, of Kato, was found in Beech
Creek, early Sunday morning by
boys playing along the banks. At
first it was feared she was the vic-
tim of foul play but evidence pre-
sented at a coromer’s inquest, the
was an accident. Mrs. Sepps was
about 65 years old and lived alone at
Kato. She leaves two sons, Stephen
and Lewis Sepos, of Cleveland, Ohio.
Burial was made in the Askey ceme-
tery on Wednesday afternoon.
A family dinner was served at
the home of Ellis C. Howe, in Philips-
burg, last Thursday, in honor of his
84th birthday anniversary. Mr. Howe
is one of fifty-two persons who left
Philipsburg in the fall of 1861 for
service in the Civil war and he and
John W. Beals are the only two still
living. Mr. Beals, by the way, will be
90 years old on July 14th.

NOT A TRACE FOUND
OF ANDREW McNITT.
All Efforts to Locate His Where-
abouts Have Thus Far Been
Unsuccessful.
The whereabouts of Andrew R.
McNitt, a prominent business man of
Bellefonte remain undiscovered. Liv-
ing or dead, he has apparently dis-
appeared so completely and myster-
iously that notwithstanding the com-
bined efforts of relatives and busi-
ness associates to locate him not a
single trace had been found up until
yesterday. >
Several suggested clues have been
run down only to find that they had
no foundation in fact. Efforts to
trace, through officials of the Penn-
sylvania Railroad company, the
route Mr. McNitt may have traveled,
after leaving Bellefonte, through used
mileage book coupons, have so far
been unsucessful. Report was made
several days ago that he had been
traced as far as Harrisburg in this
way, but the report lacks confirma-
tion.
i The story of his disappearance has
“been published all over the United
| States through Associated Press re-
‘ports, and on several evenings was
. broadcast over the radio from Har-
| risburg and Pittsburgh. Police bul-
'letins of missing persons containing
‘his name and description have been
| broadcast from various cities, and
| attempts have been made to trace
‘him through his affiliation with the
| Elks lodge but none of these have
| produced results.
If he were sick and in a hospital
As the for nigh onto half a century is no 'anywhere he had letters and papers
‘in his pockets which would afford
ample means of identification, and
| the fact that no communications have
' reached Bellefonte from officials of
institutions of any kind strengthens
the belief that Mr. McNitt has been
la victim of foul play and his body so
| secretly and thoroughly disposed of
that it cannot be traced.
FEDERAL BUILDING SEEMS
ASSURED FOR BELLEFONTE.
A federal postoffice building now
seems an assured fact for Bellefonte,
though it will not be built this year.
Postmaster John L. Knisely has re-
ceived a communication from Con-
gressman J. Mitchell Chase in which
eh enclosed a report of the committee
in charge of public building projects
and calls attention to an item on page
11 in which is allotted $95,000 for a
i postoffice building in Bellefonte.
| Congressman Chase says this is the
first definite step towards assuring
Bellefonte a federal building, and
there is a good possibility of funds
being appropriated during the regular
session which will convene in Decem-
ber, 1929, and that you may all re-
joice in seeing a building in Belle-
fonte within a reasonable time after
the next session of Congress.
Congressman Chase pledges his
most earnest efforts in furthering
the cause of a postoffice building for
Bellefonte.
You can save more than $1.50
on a pair of first quality, hip fishing
boots, at Yeager’'s Tiny Boot Shop.
