the company to place a light on west
High street, near the Potter-Hoy

Mr. Cunningham stated to council
that aside from the fountain at the
spring there is not a public drinking
place in Bellefonte, and he suggest-
ed the placing of two fountains ip
the court house yard, one at each
side of the monument, near the curb,
if the commissioners will pay for
the fountains, the borough to install
same and furnish the water; also
two fountains at the High street
bridge, one on each side of High
street. The matter was referred to
the committee with power.
Mr. Cunningham also stated to
council that there should be an offi-
cial survey and plan made of both
the Phoenix mill and Gamble mill
properties, as at present there is no
map in existence showing the plan
or extent of the borough holdings
Mr. Walker suggested that the com-
mittee arrange with the borough

In case of rain
ALTOONA BOOSTERS BRING
GOOD WILL TO BELLEFONTE.
Altoona boosters, sixty-eight
strong, invaded Bellefonte on their
good will tour on June 28th and had
luncheon at the-Brockerhoff house.
They left Altoona in a terrific down-
pour of rain, which kept quite a
number who had anticipated making
the trip from venturing forth, else
{ the number would have been consid-
erably increased. It rained during
the course of the tour to Snow Shoe
when the downpour ceased the
clouds broke away and when they
reached Bellefonte a little before one
o'clock the sun was shining brightly.
The bearers of good will were met
at the Brockerhoff house by burgess
Hard P. Harris, Robert F. Hunter,
of the Bellefonte Kiwanis; Charles
R. Beatty, representing the board of
trade, and representatives of the
Democratic Watchman. At least
seventy-five per cent of the
Altoona crowd had visited Bellefonte
on previous occasions, so that they
felt very much at home. Among the
number was Frank Derstine, who.
being born and raised here, was
right among friends. |
A brief meeting was held in the
dining room at the conclusion of the
luncheon, at which C. F. Anderson
presided. He made it plain that the
Altoona merchants were not trying
to encroach upon the trade of Belle-
fonte. He stated that the policy of
the Altoona Chamber of Commerce
and the Altoona Booster’s Associa-
tion is to advise residents of all
neighboring towns to patronize their
home merchants so far as it is pos-
sible. But if they want something
that they con’t get at home, then |
try Altoona in preference to the
larger cities. |
Robert F. Hunter, representing
brugess Hard P. Harris, welcomed
the boosters to Bellefonte in a brief
talk of wit and wisdom, and the re-
sponse was made by Mayor McMur-
ray, of Altoona. who is also presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce.
Brief talks were also made by
Charles R. Beatty, of Bellefonte, and
J. J. McNeal, president of the Al-
toona Booster’s Association. |
Before leaving Bellefonte the dele-
gation liined up in front of the!
soldier's monument for a group pic-
ture.
From Bellefonte
Centre Hall and viewed the Kerlin
poultry farm, then returned to |
Pleasant Gap and continued their
trip to State College. An hour was
i
they went to |
spent at that institution and during |
their trip of inspection they stop-
ped at the dairy building and were
treated to ice cream, cheese and but-
termilk.
From the College the Boosters re-
turned home by way of Warriors
Mark and Tyrone.

LOCAL LIME COMPANIES
AWARDED REPARATIONS.
Six years ago when the Chemical
Lime company and the Centre Coun-
ty Lime company filed petitions with
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion and the Public Service Comis-
sion for a more equitable adjustment
of freight rates on shipments of lime
and limestone, they also filed claims
for reparations totaling almost $150,-
000 on what they claimed were ex-
cessive freight charges.
The two commissions granted the
relief prayed for so far as ordering
lower tariffs but refused to consider
their ruling as retroactive and
would not grant reparations. The
matter was then carried to the
Superior court of Pennsylvania, and
that body, in an opinion and decree
handed down on Wednesday of last
week, considers the claim as just
and right and allows the reparations.

Jack Messner was arrested in Belle-
fonte, Wednesday of last week, for
kiting worthless checks. So far as
known two checks were passed here,
one at the Potter-Hoy hardware
store for $38 and another on John B.

Williamsport authorities claim
his name is not Messner but that he
is George Doebler, of that city.

TWO OCEANS VISIBLE
AT THE SAME TIME.
At only one spot in the western
hemisphere is it possible to view the
Atlantic and the Pacfic Oceans at
the same time. That is from the top
peak of El Vocan, an extinct volcano
rising 12,000 feet, in Panama. The
peak is regarded as holy ground by
the Maya race. of Indians, and it is
said that but two white men ever
reached the top. Only one returned,
John Critchlow, of Salt Lake City,
Utah, having the distinction of ac-
complishing the unique feat. Charles
Brown disappeared and is supposed
‘to have been killed by the Indians.

METHODIST LAYMEN PROTEST
| AGAINST CONFERENCE DEBTS.
Central Pennsylvania Methodists
are moving for money to wipe out
‘the debts on the properties of the
Methodist Home for Children near
Mechanicsburg, the Methodist Home
for the aged in Tyrone, and the Wes-
ley Foundation in State College. A
pretty big sum for the total indebt-
edness is $200,000 on which the in-
terest item is entirely too large rel-
|ative to the maintenance require-
ments of the two Homes and this
State College religious work for
the students. Thoughtful and wise
, business men among the laity are
averse to paying interest in such
sums any longer. They have stirred
the Conference to immediate action
in setting up an organization, com-
posed almost entirely of lay mem-
1 bers in the Conference, for a drive
to eliminate every encumbrance.
A board of philanthropies which
, supervises all the financial projects
‘of the philanthropic, benevolent and
conference missionary interests, has
, Secured for its field secretary in this
campaign the Reverend H. C. Burk-
holder, of Harrisburg, Pa. Reverend
B. H. Hart, of Hollidaysburg, Pa., is
{the financical secretary and treasur-
er, W. G. Murtorff, treasurer of State
College, who has managed its finan-
cial drives, is manager of the central
office of this campaign, which has
been established at State College.
The solicitation of gifts and pledges
will begin October 20 and close De-
cember 4.
The Methodist Home for children,
located near Mechanicsburg, on a
farm of 184 acres, all but six in
‘grove in fine condition highly pro-
ductive, has six great stone buildings
in which sixty children are housed
on the “home plan.” not the institu-
tional method. The Methodist Home
‘for the aged, in Tyrone, has a great
brick building, fire proof, arranged
| to every modern method and equip-
ment for the care of aged in com-
fort. one hundred guests, and, also a
large frame home building for the
corps of female helpers. The Wesley
Foundation, connected with St.
Paul's Methodist Episcopal church,
{State College, has a very modern and
adequate addition to the church
building for all its activities in min-
istering to the students of State Col-
lege, not only the 800 Methodist
‘students enrolled there.
