“FROM THE TWILIGHT SHADOWS
INTO THE LAND OF LIGHT.”
The Passing Away of Mrs. E. (Ross)
Kline, at Los Angeles, California.
— Formerly of Linden Hall,
June zoth, 1921, at 340 East Jefferson
Street, Los Angeles, Califorpia, entered
into rest Ellen E, Kline, dearly beloved
wife of David B. Kline, and mother of
Mrs. Charles G. Caye, Mrs. William Y.
Smither, of that city, and Mrs. J. Craig
Allen, of Dallas, Texas, and grandmoth-
er of Preston Kline Caye, Edith Van S,
Allen, Robert B, and Mary L. Smither,
These and an only brother, James M
Ross, of Boalsburg, Pa., and a niece,
Mrs. James E. Smith, of Altoona, Pa.,
survive her.
“God Touched Her with His Finger
and She Slept,”
On the evening of the above
life of earthly service was ended when
God called Mrs. Ellen E.[Kline to enter
into the joys of her Heavenly home,
She loved her earthly home, her child-
ren and friends, and would gladly have
stayed to make cheerful her own fireside
and do her part in the world’s work, had
this been the will of her Master, and
that will she lovingly and happily obey-
ed. Through her long and useful life,
in her home, her church and her many
friends she faithfully did what she
could, and when her final summons
came she triumphantly said, with the
Apostle Paul, *'I have a desire to depart
and be with Christ, which is far better
Mrs. Kline was the daughter of David
and Mary Lewis Ross, ot Linden Hall,
Pa., being born there. and from her
youth a devoted and life-long member
of the Presbyterian church. Reared
a home comfort, surrounded
chaste and chivalrous friends
early days, she grew into a magnificent
womanhood, and on April
she entrusted herself and
complishments, ‘till death do us
by giving herself in marriage to
B. Kline, also of Linden Hall,
his bome with all her girlhood graces,
intensified by the growing years, until
their lives were merged into a oneness
that was the joy of their home until
called up Higher.
She was a tender dev and
mother, and leaves an heritage of pre
cious memories her su
band, daughters, grandchildren
friends, who may truly rise up
her blessed.
On Thursday, June 23rd, we tenderly
laid her to rest in beautiful Inglewood
Park Cemetery, among friends she loved
in life, but who had only gone before.

A Bootlegger Robbed.
Two hundred quarts of whiskey, de-
scribed as *‘corking good stuff,” and of
an estimated vflue of $2500, arrived at
Clearfield in a big roadster on Saturday
night. The driver parked his car in
front of the home of a prospective custo-
mer and entered the house for a confer-
ence. When he emerged his car and its
contents had disappeared. The theft
was not reported to the police, although
the victim made known his loss to
friends. On Sunday morning the aband-
oned car was found near the James Mit
chell farm on the Glen Richey road,
All the liquor had been removed,

HOLDS RECORD FOR
LARGEST TROUT CAUGHT.
Fish Measuring 27 Inches and Weigh-
ing 9 Lbs. Caught by Bellefont-
r.—Largest Trout Ever Taken in
This Part of State.
The largest fish ever taken in this part
of the state, even in the memory of “the
oldest inhabitants” was taken from
Spring Creek, in Bellefonte, at 5 o'clock
last Friday morning by Albert Smith,
It was a brown trout, measuring 27 inch-
es and weighing nine pounds, The fish
had a girth of fifteen and one half inch:
es.
Mr. Smith was fishing near the point
where the trestle of the former Central
Railroad of Pennsylvania crosses the
creek. He was using an ordinary trout
rod, with minnows for a bait. The fish
put up a terrific struggle and Mr, Smith
had a hard fight to land it. He drew it
to the shore and tried to get it in a land-
ing net but finally had to get the fish
between his ktuees before use
the net.
The fisherman and the fish were the
center of interest in Bellefonte on Fri-
day and Mr. Smith posed with his catch
for many cameras. He will send the
huge trout to Williamsport to be mount-
ed. On Monday of last week Mr. Smith
caught an eighteen and one-half inch
trout weighing and one-half
pounds.

To Increase Poultry Profits.
Every flock of poultry in Centre coun-
ty has hens in it that are not laying.
County Agent, J. N. Robinson, of the
Centre County Farm Bureau, has secur-
ed the services of H. I. Monroe, Poultry
Specialist from the State College Poult.
ry Extension Department, to show how
to cull the non-producers.
The methods uSed are the results of
many year's work with trap-nested birds,
A study has been made of the charac-
teristics of good amd poor producers,
The ease with which the average farmer
or his wife may put into practice the
methods used and the surprising re-
sults obtained when such practices are
exercised has made culling a very im.
portant part of poultry keeping.
Many hens never lay enough eggs to
pay for their feed. Hence by selling
the unprofitable hens and keeping the
best producers, poultry profits can be
increased greatly, This will reduce the
number of hens that must be fed and
cared for and at the same time keep the
number of eggs at a maximum,
By practicing these methods the hens
that have been poor producers are auto.
matically disposed of and at the end of
the season there are leit only the best
bens of the flock, If these hens are
mated to cockerels from high producing
hens, the flock will be improved from
year to year, while on the other hand if
all the hens, good, bad and indifferent
are kept and hatched from, the quality
and prodyctiveness ot the flock are sure
to be lowered. If poultry keepers learn
how to properly cull their flock, more
money can be made with fewer hens,

Spring Mills Defeats Coburn.
Hard consistent playing by every
member of the squad won the baseball
game at Coburn last Saturday for Spring
Mills from the nine representing Coburn.
The Coburn group has been practically
undefeated this season und hopes were
high in the lower end of Penns Valley
for their representatives, The Spring
Mills squad however presented an un-
surmountable barrier with Windom
Gramley and John Goodhart forming
the battery, Spring Mills is a fortunate
victor when matched against lower
Penns Valley under the management of
Coburn. Seven runs for Spring Mills in
the first inning changed Coburn betting
and the *‘invincibles” were conquered by
straight baseball, well played. The fin-

taining to hunters’ licenses, which are
published herewith :
Requiring presentation of naturaliza-
tion papers to county treasurers before
license can be issued to naturalized for-
eign born residents.
Requires licensee to countersign license
before it 1s valid,
License tag must be displayed on out-
er garment on the back between the
shoulders,
Prohibits displaying any license tag
except for the current year.
Licetises issued by others than the
county treasurer are invalid,
Prohibits any persons from securing a
license under an assumed name or ad.
dress and forbids lending a license or
aiding in securing a license for one not
legally entitled to it,
Provides for the depositing of $20 as a
forfeit by any person unable to immedia«
tely display his resident hunters license,
to be returned if he satisfies the board
within fifteen days that his purpose was
not to violate the act.
Gives the game commission the power
to revoke license and to deny anyone
the right to secure a license from a
, period of from one to five years.
