STATE ROAD PROJECTS IN CENTRE COUNTY If all the State road projects now contemplated for Centre county by the State Highway Department are carried through during the coming summer they will not only mean a big improvement in the county's network of roads but should furnish work for quite a number of men. Foremost among the projects will be the completion of the stretch: of roadway in Bald Eagle valley, from Milesburg down toward Curtin, and the highway between Milesburg and Bellefonte. Work will also be push- ed on the road from State College through the Barrens to Buffalo Run valley. Over the mountain a stretch of 6.94 miles of reinforced concrete pavement will be built on the Lakes- to-Sea highway between Philipsburg and Sandy Ridge, a large part of it over an entirely new survey. Another project which will shorten the distance between Bellefonte and Clearfield by seven miles is the build- ing of a new highway between All- port and Bigler at an estimated cost of over $300,000. The Department is also advertising for bids for the grading of approxi- mately six miles of roadway in Haines and Penn townships, between Miltheim and the Centre-Union coun- ty line, and for the grading of over two miles and a half in Potter town- ship, between Potters Mills and Tus- seyville. Highway engineers are also at work completing the survey for the rebuilding of the road over the Sev- en mountains but there is nothing definite as to when that will be done. All told, however, highway work in this section will entail an expendi- ture of considerably more than a million dollars. SMOTHERED TO DEATH IN APARTMENT HOUSE Rev. William E. Baker, an inactive Baptist minister, was smothered to death in a fire which practically de- stroyed the duplex apartment home of Prof. H. T. Wright, on Fairmount venue, State College, at an early our last Saturday morning. The minister and his semi-invalid wife occupied one of the apartments in the house. When the fire broke out Rev. Baker assisted his wife to safety then returned to the apart- ment in an effort to rescue some of their belongings, among which was a diamond ring. Failing to reappear State College firemen made four trips into the burning building before they finally located him lying on the floor near a window in one of the rooms of his apartment. The minister was troubled with a weak -heart and whether he died from a heart col- lapse or was smothered to death will never be definitely known, although the physician who examined him was inclined to the belief that he had smothered to death, Rev. Baker was 59 years old and with his wife had gone to the College from Arizona several months ago, ind was staying there while looking for a permanent charge. He was sriginally from the New England States and the body was shipped to Vermont, on Monday, for burial. EVANGELICAL CONFERENCE CLOSED ON MONDAY. Announcement of the appoint- ments, on Monday, ended the work »f the annual session of the Cen- :ral Pennsylvania conference of the Evangelical church, held at Wil iamsport. No changes in assign- nents were made in Centre county, ill former pastors having been re- .urned. One important change was re- jistricting the conference into three sonference districts instead of four 1s heretofore. Bellefonte, however, ‘emains in the Williamsport district, ind Rev. A. Ward Campbell has seen returned as pastor. The only thange of any consequence in Cen- re county was the taking of Nit- :any from the Howard circuit and slacing it on the Lock Haven mis- don circuit, and the transfer of Jublersburg from the State College ‘0 the Howard circuit. Rev. Reed O. Steely, a former yastor in Bellefonte, was reassigned 0 the Milton church. ——One sixth of the girls attend- ng the Pennsylvania State College re paying all or part of their ex- yenses by doing outside work. Jousework, caring for children, ierving at teas and luncheons, of- ice work and clerking in local stores and restaurants are the usual ypes of employment, but several ndividuals have started private ines of business this year. One nakes hats, another works as a iressmaker, and a third mends hosi- wry. One girl is engaged as an as- istant in the chemical laboratory, ind another is working in a similar yosition in the bacterological labor- tory. ——Zona Gale, noted writer of fic- fon, will be a visiting lecturer dur- ng the coming summer institute in tnglish Education at the Pennsyl- rania State College. : ——Encourage others to subscribe or the Watchman, PATIENTS TREATED AT COUNTY HOSPITAL Mrs. Justin Hassett, of State Col- lege, was admitted on Monday of last week for surgical treatment.

ITAUSOLFUM COMPANY BUYS LOSE PROPERTY. The Bellefonte Mausoleum com- pany has purchased the property of Charles Lose, on the south side of the Union cemetery, and it is there the proposed mausoleum will be constructed. The gentlemen who will have charge of the erection of the mausoleum are now in Bellefonte and anticipate making a canvas of the town in the near future for the sale of cripts. In the sale of the property it was stipulated that Mr. Lose is to re- move all the buildings, and this he readily agreed to. He has pur- chased the Mrs. Richard Lutz prop- erty, on Howard street, and has some notion of embarking in the chicken business, and will thus be able to use the old lumber in the erection of suitable chicken houses.

FARM NOTES. - —Order trees from a thoroughly reliable nursery and inspect each tree or plant before planting in or- der to see ‘hat it is free from dis- ease. —It's time to prune grape vines and shade trees before the sap starts flowing, for if pruned after sap begins flowing the tree is robb- ed of nutrition and growth is apt to be affected. —It isn’t too early to band trees and thus prevent insects from de- spoiling them. —The American raspberry beetle is seldom severe for any greatnum- ber of successive years. It appears sporadically from time to time in different sections. —Dormant sprays for fruit trees may also be applied now. “Dor- mant” refers to the tree before sap has begun flowing. This preven- tion helps control fungous diseases of trees. -—Seed potatoes cannot be stored satisfactorily in a cellar containing a furnace. Even where there are heated rooms over the cellar it will be too warm for best results. Potatoes properly pitted in the fall will keep dormant until late spring with the minimum of sprout- ing, shriveling, and loss of vitality. Such potatoes have yielded 60 bush- els an acre more than the same seed stored in the average house cellar. The pit should be located where there is good surface and soil drainage. Pits close to buildings are more likely to be invaded by mice and rats. Small quantities or seed, 40 bushels or less, may be stored in round pits. Larger quan- tities may be handled much more easily in pits about four feet wide and as long as necessary. In preparing the pit, the surface soil to a depth of 6 to 10 inches is plowed out or thrown out for the entire length and width of the pit. The bottom is smoothed and a layer of straw put in. The straw should be thickest at the sides as frost is likely to work in at the ground line. The potatoes should have had time to dry off thoroughly before pitting. The potatoes should be piled up as high as they stand without rolling out of the pit. Eight inches or more of straw is then put over the pile. Some farmers first cover the pile with a single thick- ness of burlap to keep the straw out of the potatoes. The soil thrown out is then put on the straw to a depth of about three inches and packed with the back of the shovel. After the weather gets quite cool and all sweating and heating are over, but before the ground is frozen too hard to get more soil, another 8 or 12 inch layer of straw is put on and covered with six in- ches of soil carefully packed with the back of the shovel. Ventilation is sometimes provided by an open-end box made of 4 to 5 inch boards, extended a foot into the potates and two feet above tne top of the completed pile, inserted in each round pit and every six feet in the long pits. Ventilators should be covered so that rain will not enter and they should be stopped in extremely cold weather. Where the pit is not over four feet wide, and the potatoes are in good dry condition, no ventilation may be needed if the first layer of straw is liberal and are frequent causes of A board laid along the ridge of the last layer of dirt may help prevent washing down. Alternate layers of straw and soil not only prevent freezing but hold the coolness in the spring. Covering with corn fodder in late winter will help hold this desirable temperature and keep the potatoes dormant, but this invites trouble from mice and rats. —A low chick mortality of 9.3 per cent was reported by Pennsylvania poultrymen who raised their chicks in complete confinement last year. These reports were obtained for a total of 12,309 chicks brooded un- der the “closed door” plan outlined by the poultry extension depart- ment of the Pennsylvania State College, A low chick mortality and freedom from intestinal parasites are two advantages of the plan out- lined by the specialists. — The breed which probably ranks third in number in the United States as a whole is the Chinese. There are two varieties of this breed: White Chinese and Brown Chinese. This breed is rather small, the ganders weighing ten to twelve pounds. Their popularity is largely due to the fact that they are the most prolific breed of geese. Under good management they may be ex- pected to produce 60 to 100 eggs in a laying season. Like other geese, their main feed is grass. — Some breeders dub their male birds like game cocks to avoid freez- ing of the comb and wattles. The practice appears cruel but probably produces much less suffering than a badly frozen comb which takes weeks to heal. Usually it is only possible to dub birds for the home flock as it injures their appearance and their breeders will not like to buy them. With warmer poultry houses, many male birds are going through the winter without a frosted point. —1In planning the year’s opera- tions on the farm, it is a good idea to consider the opportunities for marketing high quality products. Gaining a reputation for producing the best brings established custom- ers who will be loath to change to an uncertain supply. —Give the breeding birds free range during pleasant weather. The addition of one pint of cod liver oil to each one hundred pounds of mash will increase fertility and hatchability. LUMBER? T1-16-t2 Oh, Yes! W.R. Shope Lumber Co.

(Continued from page 2, Col. 6.) ninety yards short of the green. _ As they walked along another messenger came hurrying to John Wilder, He took the slip; stared at it; tore it, as he had all the others. Then he looked at Steve, and laughed aloud. i “Oh!” said Joan sharply. “I—" John Wilder glanced at her; then walked on to the clubhouse. “Steve,” said Joan, “that mean— Oh, Steve, I'm sorry!” “It’s all right,” he said “Come on; we want to win this match! He can’t take that away from us, any- way.” But it looked as if he had done just that. Joan’s third was a wast- ed stroke; her fourth found a shal- low trap short of the green. Crozier was on the edge of the green with his third; Betty, lying four, was hole high. Steve, playing three, hesitated. The back of the eighteenth at Ren- clair is a vast pit, to catch an over- enthusiastic approach; from Steve's lie safety called for a short ap- proach. But safety wasn’t in the play of this hole—as Joan lay. Deliberately, then, he risked every- thing. He pitched high and far. The ball struck, bounced high. But the back spin held it; there was another cheer as it came to rest six feet from the cup. Even so Joan, in her trap, lay four, fifty yards short. Only a mir- acle could give her even a ‘seven— eleven for them both, if Steve sank . his putt. Crozier, a fine putter, had a chance for a four. Betty should get a six. “Forget the ball,” must Steve said to Joan. “Eye on the sand just be- hind it. Put all you've got into it —darling!” “Steve!” she said. “Darling!” he said, again. I know—I know! You said I was a cad— and I was. And I've prob- ably lost every nickel I've got in the world—but I'm mad about you! I have been ever since the first time I saw you! Put that ball on the green—and wrap your putter around my bean after we've won, if you like!” “You oh—you—you— dumb-bell!” she said, and walked into the trap. The gallery had straggled on, to gather around the green. No one was bothering about poor Joan, lost in her trap. Steve waited, watch- ing her. His was the first voice that cheered as the ball rose and flew, straight and true, to drop on the green and come to rest a scant foot away from the hole. “That’s torn it!” said Tom Crozier. “Oh, “Golly, what a shot!” Seven for Betty; five for Tom; six for Joan; four for Steve. And Steve and Joan had won, one up. She turned to him, putter in hand. “I—I ought to soak you with it!” she said. “But I can’t, and—and— I can’t kiss you—not here!” “Joan!” he said. “You thought—oh, I don’t know what you thought! Even when you kissed me—anyone but a mor- on would have known then! And | now, I suppose, we'll starve to death!” Only, as it turned out, there was no danger of that. In his own odd fashion John Wilder had been laughing at himself, not at Steve. For in the last hour the forces Steve had always known must be behind Minchim had poured in such | a volume of buying orders that even John Wilder hadn’t been able to pound the stock down. It had closed at sixty-two; would open, Jerry Tracy said, at sixty-five, any- way. John Wilder was sitting on the terrace when Steve drove Joan home—taking an unconsciously long | time to cover six miles. “Father!” said Joan, her eyes shining. “D’'you win?” i “Yes, but Father!” } “Oh, I know! Have to propose to him, did you?” | “No!” Steve came to life with a laugh, “I managed to wake up, sir.” “Afraid you would. Reason I fired you. Still—something to you, the way you stood the gaff out there. She might do worse, I guess. Make a quarter. of a million before you're done. Come in with me next time. Staying to dinner?” ! “Of course he is!” said Joan. —Hearst’s International Cosmophll. tan, —A girl and her bashful lover sat upon the bench. The air was filled with romance. The girl's long hair blew in her lover's face. She rested her head on his shoulder; edging still closer, she asked: “Aren't you going to kiss me?” “I was intending to but I got sand in my mouth,” was his answer. “Swallow it boy, swallow it. You need it,” was her quick answer. ——Tell your foot troubles to Ba- ney, the shoe man.
