NEW MODERN HOTEL
FOR STATE COLLEGE.
A seventy-five room modern hotel
is being planned for State College,
it . was announced recently. Work
is expected to be started in May for
the Consolidated Hotel Service, Inc.,
of New York, which will construct
and operate the hostelry.
The hotel, which has been ur-
gently needed due to the ‘rapid
“and throughout the county.
growth of the Pennsylvania State:
College and community, will be
cated near the College recreation
hall, It is planned to place it facing
the 18-hole golf course and on one
of the main highways leading
the borough and the
pus. It is to be of colonial design,
the interior laid out with the pecul-
iar needs of a hotel for State Col-
lege in mind. . ”
These requirements, calling for a
large banqueting. hall and for small-
er meeting places for groups and
parties, will be met by the inclu-
sion of a dining room capable of
seating several hundred persons and
several smaller dining rooms for
private parties. Typical of these
needs were the more
organizations which met in Stafe
College ‘last year, bringing: up-
wards of 20,000 representatives, and
numerous pilgrimages were made. to
the college by business men’s clubs,
agricultural and industrial groups.
TIBBETT TO SING :
AT STATE COLLEGE.
Lovers of music are unusually
fortunate because of the fact that
Lawrence Tibbett, baritone of the
Metropolitan Opera company, will
appear in recital at State College
on Monday, March 31st. The con-
cert will be held in the Schwab
auditorium beginning at 8:15.
Mr. Tibbett is America’s greatest
baritone in every sense of the word,
Native born, he studied the voice
and dramatic art in this country,
and it was here that he made his
reputation of being, as critics unan-
imously agree, the greatest bari-
tone in the world. : :
The success and popularity - of
Lawrence Tibbett. has been: gained
from several sources. In recital he
is a tremendous favorite, being re-
called again and again for repeat
engagements. As the leading bari-
tone of the Metropolitan Opera com-
pany he has appeared inall of the
great baritone roles of the familiar
operas, and last year created the role
of Jonny, in “Jonny Spielt Aug,” a
novelty enlarged by his appearance
in the talking picture “Rogue Song,”
in which his voice and acting ability
have thrilled millions.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
WILLIAM D. ZERBY ESQ.
"Though not entirely unexpected
the passing away of William Daup
Zerby Esq, at his home on east
Linn street, at 10:30 o'clock on
Wednesday morning,” was a distinct
shock to his friends in Bellefonte
He had
not been in’ good health for a year or
more but had beer up and around un-
til three weeks ago. A combination
of heart and lung trouble caused his
death. :
' He was a son of Philip and Eliza-
beth Daup Zerby and was born in
Penn township, September 24th, 1856,
hence was in his 54th year. He was
educated in the public schools of his
home locality then took a course in
Bucknell University. Following his
graduation he came to Bellefonte and
read law in the office of Orvis &
Bower, being admitted to practice at
the Centre county bar twenty-seven
years ago. After his admission to
the bar he became a member of the
law firm of Orvis, Bower & Zerby,
and some years ago when that legal
firm was dissolved he continued his
association with former Judge Ellis
L. Orvis under the firm name of Or-
vis & Zerby.
Mr, Zerby was possessed of an un-
usually bright legal mind and was
quick to comprehend the legal status
of the most difficult of cases. His
of the
A large
law was able and fearless.
' portion of the work in the prepara-
tion of cases by his law
firm was
done by him and in this he was
thorough and his findings of facts
could generally be relied upon.
In politics he was a Democrat, and
while yet a young man was chosen
county chairman to lead his party.
He served several years, at the time
when political campaigns in Centre
county meant more than merely go-
ing to the polls to vote, and his work
invariably resulted in at least a par-
tial victory. His only trial for a
county office was in 1927 when he
ran for the nomination for Judge of
Centre county on the Democratic
- ticket against W. Harrison Walker

Three men who claim to represent
a private detective agency, are work-
ing among the farmers of Penns-
valley insuring their chickens from
theft at $12.50 per farmer, and their
scheme is such a good one that they ,
are not violating any law.
They carry with them a hand

mark on the under side of the wing

is sold for $5.00. Then they insure
the flock against theft which costs

In 1907 he married Miss Isabelle
Taylor, who survives with two chil-
dren, Miss Elizabeth and William,
both at home. He also leaves one
brother and a sister, Emory Zerby
and Mrs. Faust, both of Elgin, Ill
A meeting of the Centre county
bar will be held at 1:30 o'clock on
Saturday afternoon and immediately
thereafter members of the bar will
go in a body to the Zerby home, on
east Linn street, where funeral serv-
ices will be held at 2:30 o'clock. They
will be in charge of Rev. Stuart
Gast, rector of St. John’s Episcopal
church, of which he was a member,
interment to be made in the Union
cemetery. :
COLLEGE TO HOLD FARM
MACHINE SHORT COURSE
For the third time in three years
the farm machinery department of
the Pennsylvania State College will
hold a short course March 25 and 26,
in the stock pavilion on the college
campus.
On the evening of March 24, at 7
o'clock, there will be a big opening
meeting in the pavilion to which
farmers of Centre county and nearby
places are invited to attend. Admis-
sion will be free. The program will
consist of music, motion pictures,
and talks by Dean R. L. Watts, of
the School of Agriculture, and David
Darrah, of the Oliver Implement

is yet to be proven.
Last week three men, possibly the
same three, operated in Union coun-
ty but left there the latter part of
the week. On learning of the opera-
tions of the men in Pennsvalley
county detective Leo Boden made a
trip over to investigate. He found
the men, all right, but also found
that they are not violating any law,
although he don’t believe their insur-
ance will protect the farmer's flock.

SIXTY GUESTS ENJOY
JUDGE FLEMING’S BANQUET
Judge M. Ward Fleming was host |.
at a banquet, given at the Brocker-
hoff house last Friday evening, to
members of the bar, court house of-
ficials and a few personal friends. All
told about sixty guests were present
and the splendid menu was thorough-
ly enjoyed by all. At the conclusion
of the repast John Blanchard Esq.,
acted as toastmaster and directed the
speech making in a gracious and
characteristic manner. As there was
no prearranged program every man
who responded evoluted spontaneous-
ly and the general trend was a tri-
bute to the Judge on his two year’s
work on the bench and his courteous
treatment of every member of the
bar as well as county officials.

mire stove and tinning store Harry

Farmers also are invited to attend
the short course where all kinds of
farm implements will be displayed
and demonstrated. Each year a dif-
ferent manufacturer furnishes the
implements for this purpose. Two
years ago the International Harvest-
er company provided the machinery.
Last year the Massey-Harris com-
pany furnished the equipment. This
year the Oliver line will be repre-
sented. :
INTER HIGH SCHOOL
DEBATE TONIGHT
Bellefonte, Philipsburg, State Col-
lege and Tyrone High schools are
again conducting a series of debates
for the loving cup offered by the
Women’s club of State College, and
later for entry into the district and
State contests for High school de-
bating honors of Pennsylvania.
. This (Friday) evening, at eight
o'clock, the Bellefonte affirmative
team will debate the negative team
from Philipsburg on the subject:
“Resolved, That the county should
be the unit of support and control of '
the schools of Pennsylvania.”
The debate will be held in the
auditorium of the High school and
admission is free.
On the same evening the Belle-
fonte negative team will debate the
Tyrone affirmative at Tyrone.
This is a live, up-to-date subject.
The debaters have been working dili-
gently for some weeks and promise
an interesting evening to all who will
take the trouble to attend.
Extension of time in which
the Bellefonte Central railroad com-
pany may complete construction of
its new road in Centre county, to
July 1, 1930, was made Saturday by
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, Previously the road had been
given until March 1 to finish the
work, but the Commission held that
it had shown that it was unable to
carry through this order.
