Deceased was born at Tamauqua been eighty years old. His parents came to Schuylkill county from England, his father being an Episcopalian minister. He died of cholera when the subject of this notice was but a year old and his mother died seven years later. The boy was taken in charge by a family named Walker and grew to manhood at the place of his birth. When a young man he came to Centre county with a party of surveyors and later got a job at running a stationary engine for Smith, Rhoads & Smith, at their saw mill in Snow Shoe township. When the Bellefonte and Snow Shoe railroad was opened up in the early sixties Dyke was given the job of fireman on the first engine that ran over the road, the engineer being a man nam- ed Reynolds. He fired on the road until it was taken over by the Pennsylvania railroad company. Through the intercession of the late Judge Daniel Rhoads he secured a posi- tion as fireman for Hon. A. G. Morris, at his lime kilns up Buffalo Run, and when the American Lime & Stone company was organized he was transferred to the plant at Armor’s Gap. For twenty-seven years he fired at these two quarries, un- til a little over two years ago when he re- tired on account of his age. Shortly after that he was stricken with paralysis. He was a member of the Baptist church for many years and a good, christian man. He is survived by his aged wife, who before herfmarriage was Miss Hannah Taylor, of Boggs township, and two chil" dren, Mrs. Edward C, McKinley, of Miles- burg, and Grant Dyke, at home. One son, William, was killed a number of years;ago while running an engine at the Nittany furnace. The funeral was held at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Rev.

BiG CROWD AT STATE COLLEGE.—Yes- terday was the date for the big excursion of farmers from the Juniata valley to State College and the train passed through Bellefonte about 11:30 o'clock on the way to the College. It was made up of ten coaches and two engines, and car- ried 530 people, all farmers, who went up to look over the institution, but more particularly to inspect the big experiment farm and see how the work of up-to-date agriculture is carried on in a practical way. In addition to the Juniata valley ——J. Howard Lingle, Trust “Hold Up” the Farmer. BELLEFONTE, PA., Oct. 1, 1912. Editor Watchman. — While the high cost of living pinches the consumer it does not benefit the farmer. The poor farmer, exploited by the middle man, cold storage plant and the gambler in Wall street, finds that in the market where he buys needful ma- terial he is held up, plundered and rob- bed by over capitalized trusts, combines and monopolies. They are protected, in fact these little infant industries have been highly protected for years. Lately it was observed that there were no swad- dling clothes on the line and the nation looking over his bunch of “precocious infants” found that each kid had whiskers and was living on jthe cream and fat of the land, while some of their pay-envelope proteges in the steel mills working for from twelve to seventeen cents per hour, ten to twelve hours a day, and no rest on Sunday, were beginning to scrape empty flour barrels, use cheap adulterated molasses for butter and forego milk in their tea and coffee. Under Roosevelt's administration these trusts increased in number from 149 with a capitalization of $3,784,000,000 to 10,020 with a capitaliza- tion of $31,672,003,000, and of this last amount over 70 per cent. was water. This statement was made by a Republican in the person of Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin. Some time ago the Grange began an agitation for co-operation in buying ma. terial for the farmer and also the or- ganization of rural credit societies. Grangers began to see that the selfishly inflated, law-protected, trust ridden method of holding them up in the pur- chase of needful material, was nothing but highway robbery. The people pro- tested and petitioned Congress for the passage of the Farmer's Free List bill in which all agricultural implements and farmer's hardware would be placed on the free list in order to destroy the brutal power of the trusts, but the International Harvester company seemingly controlled the President. The bill passed both Houses of Congress but was vetoed by the President, then Congress with the assistance of the Progressives, Republi- cans and Democrats, tried to pass the bill over the President's veto. What then was the attitude of our Congressman upon this bill? When the bill was before the House he was either absent or dodged it, as he is recorded as not having voted upon the bill in the House. (See Con- gressional Record page 1181). He was probably then beginning to assume the position of neutrality which he now seeks to maintain. However, when the bill was returned to the House with the Presi- dent’s veto upon it, Mr. Patton took his position with the stand-patters and voted absolutely against the bill. (See Con- gressional Record page 4171). It is cer- tainly fair to assume that the farmers of this district who have had business ex- perience with the International Harvester Co., would assuredly appreciate the as- sistance that Mr. Patton's vote gives this trust in holding them up for another term of years. hd Meeting of Bellefonte Woman’s Club. The regular monthly meeting of the Woman's Club will be held on Saturday, October the fifth, at 3:30 o'clock. Come. A rare treat is promised for this meet- ing to which the public is most cordially invited. Mrs, Callaway will give a “parlor talk” on her trip around the world. Those of us who have heard her will enjoy listen- ing again, and those who have not will be grateful for this opportunity. That she is entertaining and instructive to the young as well as to the older peo- ple, was proven by the primary and in- termediate pupils of the Bellefonte Acad- emy when she talked to them. She tried to close her talk several times, but was urged to continue until the time length- ened to one and one-half hours. The pupils consented then for her to retire only when she promised to return at a later date. Mrs. Callaway brought home with her many interesting curios which, with her "Memory Chain,” she will ex- Bring your friends and young people. All will be welcome.
