which were worked out to a success-
ful completion.

He is a graduate of Yale University.
——Members of the committee ap-
pointed to canvas Bellefonte for the
purpose of raising money to finance
a ball team this year expect to start
on their rounds this week, and inas-
much as Bellefonte has secured a
franchise in the Clearfield and Cen-
tre league there is sure to ‘be some
good sport in prospect. For this rea-
son every encouragement should be
given the committee when the mem-
bers make their call. The two plans
of financing are by the sale of season
tickets for ten dollars and a volun-
tary subscription. If you can’t buy
a ticket give what you can. Inas-
much as the * season.is fo open on
Memorial day the baseball organiza-
tion will have little enough time to
get a team together and make all
other necessary arrangements, and
therefore should not be hampered by
the lack of financial aid.
PURER MILK ORDINANCE
IS BRINGING RESULTS.
All Bellefonte Dealers Equipping to
Meet Requirements.
The passing of a pure milk ordi-
nance for Bellefonte borough is bring-
ing the desired results and it won't
be long until we can point with pride
to the fact that the lacteal fluid we
use on our tables comes from lady
cows, not just any old kind of a fe-
male bovine. And bringing about
such a condition has made Belle-
fonte’s milk inspector, Dr. S. M. Niss-
1'ley, one of the busiest men in this
section at the present time.
Before the milk ordinance was
passed eleven dealers were selling
milk in Bellefonte. When the ordi-
nance became effective on April 1st
three dealers dropped out. Boyd
Sampsel simply quit. Harry Corman
sold his route to Harvey Markle and
Paul Spearley made a trade which
leaves him out of the borough en-
tirely. Of the eight dealers remain-
ing six of them have already install-
ed complete sterilizing and aerating
machinery at an expense of from $150
to $700, while the other two have in-
stalled boiling water equipment for
cleansing their bottles and milk uten-
sils. In addition they have built or
equipped special rooms in which to
handle the milk, such rooms to be
tightly screened against’ flies and
bugs during the warm summer
months. A number of the dealers
have already installed automatic bot-
tlers and cappers, so that not a drop
of the milk that goes into the bot-
tles, or the cap which covers it, will
come into contact with the dealer's
hands.
So much for the dealers. Now that
they are doing everything required
to furnish a pure milk supply in-
spector Nissley is giving his atten-
tion to the farmers who furnish the
milk to the dealers. And they are
also responding to the request to put
their dairy barns in sanitary shape. In
fact practically all of them will come
up to the same standard .demanded
by the Sheffield Farms company of
farmers who supply them with milk.
One farmer who supplies milk to
Bellefonte dealers has constructed
concrete stalls for his cows with pat-
ent stanchians, the stanchions alone
costing him two hundred dollars.
Inspector Nissley has been on the
job most of the time since he receiv-
ed his commission, and temporary
permits will be issued to dealers un-
til they get their entire plants in
shape to pass inspection when they
will be given a permanent permit to
sell milk in Bellefonte. Once this is
done a weekly inspection and twice a
month analysis of the milk will be all
that will be necessary.
pe
NO DEFINITE TRAIL OF
ANDREW R. McNITT.
Up to yesterday no definite facts
had developed regarding the myster-
ious disappearance of Andrew R. Mc- !
Nitt, of Bellefonte, or his probable
whereabouts, but the poignant alarm
for his personal safety has been con-
siderably lessened for several reasons.
One of these is the fact that Penn-
sylvania railroad officials have suc-
ceeded in checking his mileage book
coupons through to New York city.
On the day he left Bellefonte, Feb-
ruary 25th, cancelled coupons bear-
ing the number of his book, were
taken up through to Philadelphia. On
February 27th, two days later, cou-
pons from the same book were used
from Philadelphia to New York. No
trace, however, was found of Mr. Mc-
Nitt having been registered at any
Philadelphia hotel at any time be-
tween the 25th and 27th of February.
On Tuesday Major Linn Adams,
head of the Pennsylvania State po-
lice, was in Bellefonte, and stated that
he felt very certain that nothing of a
serious nature had happened to Mr.
McNitt, and that he would turn up
of his own accord some of these days.
He was undoubtedly led to make this
statement because of the thorough in-
‘vestigations which have been made
by the State police in connection with
his disappearance.
Various stories are in circulation
in Bellefonte as reasons for his dis-
appearance and protracted absence
from Bellefonte, but none of them
may be correct. In the meantime
Mr. McNitt’s brothers and sisters are
still pursuing their inquiries in an ef-
fort to discover their brother's where-
abouts.
Mothers Assistance Group Greets
Visiting Worker.
At the regular meeting
Mother's Assistance committee for
Centre county, held in the offices of
the Chemical Lime Co., Wednesday
afternoon, the following members
were present: Mrs. Charles McGirk,
Philipsburg; Mrs. Frank Gardner,
State College; Mrs. Edward Harris,
Snow Shoe; Mrs. John S. Walker,
Miss Mary H. Linn and Mrs. W. F.
Reynolds, Bellefonte.
The meeting was more than one
for the usual consideration of routine
business because Miss Laura F. Port-
er, of Harrisburg, was present to
council with the ladies in methods
for getting best results from the
funds they disburse to deserving
‘mothers. go
Miss Porter is a field worker for
the State and her wide experience has
afforded her opportunity to study and

. 1928 ANNUAL REPORT OF
' CENTRE COUNTY HOSPITAL.
The annual report of the Centre
County hospital for the year 1928 has
‘been put in print and shows that dur-
ing the year 919 patients were treat-
ed for a total of 12,097 patient days.
Out of the above total 741 patients
were discharged as cured, 93 showed
favorable improvement, 31 no im-
provement and 54 died.
The receipts from all sources dur-
ing the ‘year totaled $41,673.09, while
the operating expenses were $45,
015.54, leaving a deficit of $3,342.45.
During the year 1928 the average
cost for maintaining a patient a day
in the hospital was $3.72, while in
1927 the cost was $4.08.
The report stresses the need of an
adequate nurses home and estimates
the cost of same at approximately
$40,000. No definite steps have been
taken looking to the erection of a
home though an appeal is made to
give the suggestion serious considera-
tion.
Hospital authorities are now mak-
ing plans for the annual membership
drive which will be made next month,
and it is hoped that it will meet with
increased interest and contributions
over the drive put on a year ago. At
that time, according to the published
report, 3151 people all over the coun-
ty, with the exception of the Philips-
burg section contributed $7031.45. Of
35 per cent. of the total. The num-

THREE MEN SENTENCED
TO PENITENTIARY TERMS.
Monday was regular argument day
in Centre County court but before
the first case open was called Judge
Fleming heard several pleas of guilty
cases and disposed of them by send-
ing three young men to the peniten-
tiary and one to the county jail.
The first case called was that of
Ernest Fye and James Emel, arrest-
ed on March 19th for breaking and
entering and robbing a box car on
the Pennsylvania railroad of ladies
silk underwear and other merchan-
dise to the value of $442.42.
| young men, both married, had secur-
ed the services of S. D. Gettig to look
after their interests, and to him they
denied having broken open the car,
or of stealing near all the stuff with
which they were charged, and Mr.
Gettig told the court that under the
| circumstances he could not advise his
| clients to plead guilty to the indict-
ment as drawn. After some discus-
. sion between Mr. Gettig and district
attorney John G. Love it was agreed
that the defendants plead nolle con-
tendre and let the court judge from
the evidence the degree of their guilt.
This was done, and railroad police-
man Fred Giles, of Tyrone, and chief
of police Harry Dukeman were call-
ed to tell of the arrest of the men
and what they found as incriminat-
ing evidence. Both young men tes-
tified in their own behalf and stuck
to the story that the car had been
broken open when they went to it on
the evening of February 17th. After
hearing all the evidence the court
sentenced each of them to pay a dol-
lar fine, costs of prosecution and im-
prisonment in the western peniten-
tiary for not less than one year nor
more than two.
H. L. Tanner, who gave his home
as Blair county, entered a plea of
guilty to passing a forged check for
$80 on an automobile dealer at State
College, and was sentenced to serve a
term of one to two years in the
western penitentiary.
Emory Fink, who at the February
term of court plead guilty to setting
fire to the barn of Edward Orwick,
in Taylor township, was brought be-
fore the court and sentenced to serve
two years in the county jail.
HI-Y BASKET BALL TEAM
MADE SPLENDID RECORD)
The Hi-Y basket ball team, of
Bellefonte, made a splendid record
during the winter season. The team
played a total of 17 games, winning
11, losing five and one tie. The team
scored a total of 419 points against
358. Jackson Spangler made the
highest individual score for the sea-
son, 43 field goals and 12 fouls, a to-
tal of 98 points. Other point scores
were Bauer 94, Haupt 86, Capt. P.
Gallagher 57, Gettig 48, Baney 44,
Gingery 15, Heverly 6, Caldwell 4,
McCafferty and B. Gallegher 2 each,
All of these boys are still in the
Bellefonte public schools and are
promising material for future High
school teams.
——It is estimated that there were
4310 horses on the farms of Centre
county on January 1, 1929. This was
just 220 less than the estimated num-
ber January 1, 1928.

, MISS AMELIA EARHAR
HERE FOR A NIGHT.
Miss Amelia Earhart, aviatrix and
writer, the only woman who success-
fully made a flight across the Atlan-
tic ocean from the United States to
spent Monday night in
England,
Bellefonte, a guest at the Bush house.
Her night's visit was unheralded
and involuntary, but from all ac-
counts she was pleased with the brief
stay. :
She left Curtis field, N. Y., about the
noon hour, on Monday, for a flight to
Cleveland, Ohio. She drove her own
ship, an Avian biplane, and fight-
ing a strong head wind all the way it
took her four hours to reach Belle-
fonte. The result was her gas sup-
ply was so nearly exhausted when she
sat down on the Bellefonte field that
she averred that she couldn't have
traveled a mile further.
ports at the Bellefonte field indicated
stormy weather westward and it was
this information that decided her to
| remain in Bellefonte for the night.
Consequently field manager Forrest
W. Tanner brought her into town, and
to the Bush house, and she was so
badly fagged with her rough trip
from New York to Bellefonte, that
she went to her room and rested un-
til the dinner hour at six o’clock.
In the meantime word of her arri-
i val was quickly noised about and
burgess Hard P. Harris, in an effort
to welcome the young aviatrix and
give her a homey feeling even if she
was among strangers, went to the
Bush house and was her host at din-
ner, afterwards introducing her to a
" number of callers. Among the latter
00 were three school girls, Jane Curtin,
Jean Blanchard and Caroline Curtin,
members of the Amelia Earhart club
of Girl Reserves. Miss Earhart was
not only glad to meet them but was
a brief visitor at a meeting of the
club held at the High school build-
ing later in the evening, where she
gs was taken by burgess Harris after he
had driven her out to see Bellefonte’s
big spring.
The latter trip was also made at
her request. She stated that she had
heard so much about the spring and
expressed a desire to see it. It is
needless to say that it surpassed even
, the expectations she had conceived of
it. She manifested unfeigned delight
with Bellefonte and had no hesitation
in saying that the Bellefonte landing
field was excellent, though she stated
that it was a little hard to locate by
strange pilots and suggested as an
improvement in this direction a few
| pore signs or markers large enough
to be seen by pilots at a high altitude.
| Miss Earhart left Bellefonte at
: 8:15 o'clock on Tuesday morning for
| the continuation of her flight to
| Cleveland.
“HEARTS IN DIXIE” IS
EPIC OF THE OLD SOUTH.
The
“Hearts in Dixie,” the screen’s first
singing, talking and dancing comedy
of the South, which will be an attrac-
tion at the Cathaum theatre, State
College, on Monday and Tuesday,
April 15 and 16, matinee and even-
ing, is without doubt the most un-
usual picture yet turned out. For the
first time the soul of the southland
, finds voice on the speaking screen,
with a wonderful all-colored cast of
entertainers.
“Hearts in Dixie” is packed full of
laughs, music and whirlwind dance
| steps; forty songs and spirituals are
heard during the action; the story is
human and full of movement;
heart of the South is revealed for the
first time! Musical comedy and
vaudeville have furnished the singers,
dancers, comedians and actors, the
entertainers totaling two hundred;
and the Billbrew chorus of sixty mix-
ed voices is heard for the first time
from the screen singing songs that
all America loves.
! Ear, eve and heart appeal are all
combined in “Hearts in Dixie.”
Throughout it has dialogue as absorb-
ing as that of the best stage play,
| with musical and dancing numbers
interspersed freely forming a verit-
"able revue in themselves. And there
is a pronounced strain of comedy
with Stepin Fetchit, the comedy
; “find” of the year, heading the laugh
makers. ‘Hearts in Dixie” has every-
thing in the way of unusual enter-
tainment. And it is different from
' anything yet produced for the talking

UNUSUAL WEATHER
WE DON'T RECALL IT’S LIKE.
This is the 12th of April, cherry
and plum trees are in full blossom,
tulips are blooming and temperatures
are like those to be expected in Au-
gust.
We can’t say that the like of such
weather has never been known, but
we do say that we have never seen
its equal and our memory runs back
for at least five decades. .
Last Sunday the temperature at
8:30 in the morning was 70 degrees.
At five in the evening it was 88 de-
grees. The day was brilliant but hot,
so hot that George Bush, invariably
the pioneer, got out his straw hat and
the young folks scrambled out of
their step-ins and B. V. D’s into bath-
ing suits.
We saw quite a lot of “Polar Bears”
in the new lake at State College and
also in the great dam that the State
Forestry Department has made on
Laurel run over in Huntingdon coun-
ty.
Truly the past week has been un-
usual from a temperature standpoint.
Let us hope that it has not forced
buds and vegetation only to be kill
ed by frosts that may come later.
