Plans are already made for the

At a recent meeting of the com-
mittee two mew members, John B.
Wert and Morris Burkholder, both
of Progress Grange were elected
to the committee to fill vacancies
caused by the retirement of D, K.

The program for this year in-
and much of the work is already

on the hillside of several thousand
! two-year-old evergreens secured from
. the Deparment of Forests and Wa-

| ters. The plantings were
‘carefully by the most approved
methods to insure growth. Then
‘came the planting of 130

. American elm, oak, sugar maple,
| Lombardy poplar and cucumber to
it! replace dead trees in various parts |
of the park.
| Landscaping of grounds about
headquarters, the horticultural and

‘has been selected, purchased and the
plantings made. This is only a
beginning of carrying out a plan
‘to enhance the beauty of ange

(and, with the aid of the extension

| Every one is familiar with the
fact that the electric lines in serv-
ice on Grange Park have been for
‘some years wholly inadequate to

consequence, it seemed the time had
"arrived to consider the importance
'of improvement here, and only by
"thoroughly organizing and rebuild-
'ing the system did that seem pos-
, sible and practicable. A car load
‘ of first class poles from the North-
‘west have been purchased and are
‘on the ground and all the neces-
'sary materials will be used to
‘make an up-to-date, safe and serv-
'jceable electric system sufficient for
all demand for years to come.

FIRE DESTROYS BARN
ON JOE DAVIDSON FARM.
Fire, at noon on Monday, com-
pletely destroyed the big barn on
the Joseph Davidson farm, near
Wingate, together with two horses,
four calves, hay, straw, grain and
some of the farm implements. The
fire was discovered about 11:30
o'clock and by the time the men
reached the barn had gained SO
much headway that it was impos-
sible to save the horses and calves.
An appeal was sent to Bellefonte
for help and the Logans went up
but the barn was in ashes by the
time they arrived. Sparks from the
burning barn set fire to the woods
on the hill east of the building and
it burned over tem or twelve acres
before it was conquered.
The Davidson barn was built just
two years ago so that it was
practically new. The loss will be
over $3,000, on which there was a
fair insurance.

DO YOU WANT YOUR
Last Friday two members of the
the State Sanitary Water Board
came to Bellefonte and in the pres-
ence of burgess Hard P, Harris
and M. M. Cobb, chairman of the
Water committee of borough council,
proceeded to give Bellefonte’s sup-
ply of drinking water a dose of
chlorine. All told some sixty gal-
lons were sent into the mains
through the medium of the electric
pump.
The first stream was about as
thick as a match and to test it
out samples of the water were
taken from nearby hydrants. The
test was made by filling a glass
tube with water and adding a few

This did not seem satisfactory so

to
have a greenish tinge, like an un-
ripe lemon and that was deemed
"about right.
Webster defines chlorine as “an
element commonly isolated as a
greenish yellow gas, two and a half
‘times as heavy as air, of an in-
tensely disagreeable suffocating
, odor, and exceedingly poisonous.”
. Bellefonte water in that state, but
in a diluted form. But the ques-
tion arises, why put it in at all?
John S. Walker, president. of the
Bellefonte council, was quite em-
phatic when he stated on Monday
test to the limit against putting
chlorine into the water, and that
' council should not quibble over
| any reasonable additional expense to
prevent the State from doing so.
And now is the time for the
people to protest. If you don’t
want it don’t hesitate to say so.
Next Wednesday and Thursday
| evenings, May 14th and 15th, the
the great collegiate comedy, “Aur
ay a
Lucia,” will be staged at the State
' theatre, sponsored by the Belle-
‘ fonte Academy and directed by the
Universal Producing company.
The play will include two hun-
| dred local people in the cast and
| dances. It promises to be the big-
gest hit of the season. Every person
|in Bellefonte who enjoys a good
/laugh should not miss seeing it.
| The play is the story of the
_home-coming at Bula Bula college,
‘and it is while Jerry is dressed up
in an old lady's outfit to enter-
tain his friends that he is mistaken
for Lucy Wakefield, a wealthy real
! estate dealer from Florida. Many
funny situations arise before Jerry
has an opportunity to explain.
Seats may be reserved at Me-
Clellan’s - candy shop May 13th, at

cents, and children 25. If you
want to laugh see “Aunt Lucia.”

TWO MUSIC WEEK
ENTERTAINMENTS.
Music week was observed in the
public schools with two very
teresting programs. On Monday
the grade pupils entertained a large
audience with sight reading, part
singing, and two cantatas. The
Rip Van Wingle cantata performed
by the sixth and seventh grades
won so much favorable comment
that it will be repeated in the last
performance of the entire school
system, June 5th. The fact that
the entertainment was directed by
Mrs. Krader, assisted by Miss
Fulton and accompanied by Miss
Shuey, assured the success of the
production.
On Tueday evening the Senior
Commercial girls produced the three
act farce comedy, “Poor Father.”
and kept a capacity house in laugh-
ter from the time it started until
it stopped. The tap dancing and
acrobatic work by Peggy Stouck, a
pupil of Ned Rayburn, of New
York city, was very fine. Peggy
made a host of friends among the
little folks of the schools and won
the admiration of all with her
pleasing personality.

. | THE HOSPITAL DRIVE
WATER CHLORINATED? |
STARTS NEXT MONDAY.
Next ‘Monday, May 12, the cam-
paign for funds for the Centre
County hospital starts.
Here is something you should be
interested in, because you never know
when a good hospital is the ome
thing you would give everything
you have if it were within reach
when you need it,
The Centre County hospital
within two hours reach of everyone
who should naturally support it.
It is a good hospital. For the or-
dinary diseases it is just as good
as any other, no matter how great
their reputations may be. For the
average case its equipment is as
complete as the best. Only in ex-
ceptional cases can Johns Hopkins,
the Mayo’s and Gessinger do more
than can be done right here in
Bellefonte. Greater surgeons are
there, but it is not claimed that
they have greater diagnosticians
than might be found among country
doctors. It is well that no such
claim is set up because, too often,
a country doctor has pointed the
way to the greatest surgeon, There-
in lies part of the value of a hospi- |
tal such as we are going to start
to raise funds for next Monday.
~ If you have to have your
pendix, your tonsils or your leg
taken off it can be done here just
as well as it can be anywhere else.
Not only as surgically artistically as
anywhere else, but the records of
the institution show that it can be
done here with just as little risk
of your “croaking” as you would
take were you to give three or
four times as much to have some’
foreign surgeon operate on you.
These are facts.
But over and above them you
have this assurance, if it ever be-
comes your lot to have to go to a
hospital, in the Centre county in-
stitution you are something more
than ‘Patient, No. 666.” Here the
superintendent knows you. If she
doesn’t she knows some of your |
friends. If she doesn’t know even
any of them some nurse does and
there is the bond of personal inter-
est combined with the science of
medicine or surgery. You're not
merely a patient—No. so and so,
—You're somebody ‘whom a friend
of mine is interested in and you
get something you'll never get out-
side your local hospital: The feel-
ing that someone has a human and
not merely a scientific interest in
you.
scription next week make it from
the view point we have tried to
present to you.
Make it solely with the thought
that no matter what you might
think of this, that or the other per-
son who has to do with the hospi-
tal it’s a wonderful haven to have
at hand when needed.

—Only half of our guess last
week was right. Mr. Dorworth
didn’t come out for Grundy, but he
did for Brown. Governor Fisher
must have told all of his favorites
to save their own bacon. The
Secretary of Forests and Waters
guessed that Brown will be the next
Governor and as Grundy, win or
