The Bellefonte Board of Trade met in
| the public building Monday evening to
| hear the report of the executive commit-
| tee on the investigation of many proposals
| that had been made by industrial enter-
| prises looking to a possible location in
this place.
i In all eighteen offers have been re-
| ceived and acted upon since the re-
organization of the Board in January last
and in all of them the only two that
i seemed to be within the range of possi-
| bility were the ones to rehabilitate the
! Lingle foundry and to capitalize a com-
pany for a test and manufacture of the
| automatic recording scale of the Inter-
| national Electric Scale Co.
| The former proposition was reported
| on at the meeting by Mr. Chas. M. Mc-
| Curdy, who stated that several con-
| ferences had been held between the
| executive committee, the owners of the
| property and Mr. J. Howard Lingle and

——Potatoes are being hauled to Belle-
fonte and loaded on the car for shipment
at forty cents a bushel. Over in Penns-
valley shipments are being made at thirty-
five cents, and buyers protest against
paying that price.
~The brick work on Al. S. Garman'’s
new hotel at Tyrone was completed on
Tuesday and the building is now ready
for the carpenters and inside finishers.
Mr. Garman anticipates having the build-
ing ready for occupancy by the first of
the year.
——Miss Anna McCoy was hostess on
a motor party, consisting of Miss Kate
Shugert, Mrs. J. F. Alexander, of Centre
Hall, and Miss Mitchell; of Lemont, who
drove Tuesday to Milroy, from there to
Huntingdon and Alexandria, returning to
Bellefonte Wednesday.
——A number of enthusiastic Republi-
cans organized a Taft club last Friday
evening. Edmund Blanchard was elect-
ed president; William Burnside secretary;
John Curtin treasurer and a list of six-
teen vice presidents. Six gentlemen were
appointed a committee to solicit mem-
bers.
——Robert Gibson Larimer was arrest-
ed in Boston, Mass, on Tuesday on
charges ot forgery and embezzling forty
thousand dollars, as preferred by the po-
lice of Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he had
been in the automobile business for six
months prior to his disappearance about
two months ago.
——Mr. and Mrs. Howard Spangler
have sold their household goods and
broken up housekeeping. Mrs. Spangler
and children will leave tomorrow for New
York city and for the present will make
their home with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Brown. Mr. Spangler will remain here for
the present and board in a private family.
-——H. M. Davidson, one of the leading
farmers of Union township, has already
raised and stored over five hundred
bushels of potatoes, and estimates that
he will have close to eight hundred
bushels when his entire crop has been
taken out of the ground. Many other
farmers in Centre county will have equal-
ly large crops.
——The Pathe weekly of current events
is now shown at the Scenic on Tuesday
evening of each week instead of Wednes-
day evening, but the big feature films are
still shown on Friday evening. On all
other evenings you will see a first
class program of moving pictures, new
and up-to-date in every particular. The
Scenic is always warm and comfor:able
so there is no reason for staying away
because the weather is cool.
——During the huckleberry season
Irvin DeLong and his twelve year old
son, of Blanchard, picked and marketed
1252 quarts of huckleberries. Most of
the berries were gathered on Bald Eagle
mountain and in the foothills of the Alle-
ghenies. The above number of quarts
would be over thirty-nine bushels and at
a weight of sixty pounds to the bushel
would weigh one ton and 347 pounds.
Figure out if you can how many pies the
above quantity of berries would make.
—About nine o'clock last Friday even-
ing James K. McDonald, of Pittsburgh, a
State '11 man, who was on his way to
the State—W. & J., football game, went
down to Beezer’s garage and asked Fred
Gehret to look over the machines. Sup-
posing the man to be a possible purchas-
er Gehret willingly accommodated him
and to demonstrate the smoothness of | in

ning. As he did so McDonald jumped | roplane
in the car and drove out of the garage,
up Allegheny Street, around Spring and
Bishop to the Brockerhoff house. As he
was driving without lights he was arrest-
ed by policeman Dukeman and taken to
jail. Saturday morning he was taken be-
fore 'Squire Brown and fined ten dollars
and costs, or $15.50 in all, for driving
without a light. Inasmuch as the car
was not damaged Mr. Beezer did not push
the ‘case and the young man was let go
his way.
! 000 taking $2000, of the sum in preferred
| stock of the enterprise. This price was
| regarded as being too high and when the
! matter of raising $10,000 more for re-
pairs and working capital was taken into
consideration the committee thought the
plan impossible and so reported. After
considerable discussion by Messrs. Mont-
gomery, Moore, MacAvoy, Seibert,
| Hamilton and McCurdy a motion was
! made to accept the report of the com-
! mittee.
It was carried. This action put the
| Board of Trade on record as being op-
posed to paying $20,000 for the property
{and raising a $10,000 working capital
without knowing upon what terms, by
whom or for what purpose the plant
! would be operated.
Then chairman Reynolds appointed
Messrs. Moore, Seibert, MacAvoy and
Hamilton, a committee to visit the Lingle
plant and make an intelligent appraise-
ment of its physical value. This action
was taken in order to have the view of
practical men as to what the value of the
property really is, so that if there may be
any occasion to reconsider the action on
| the Lingle proposal the Board will be in
! a position to consider whether it would
| be cheaper to build and equip a new,
modern plant or try to modernize this
old one.
The proposition of the International
Electric Scale Co., was reaily not a pro-
posal at all. It was more an effort on
the part of the committee to find some
way whereby this patent of Edward Mc-
Garvey, in which there seems tobe great
possibilities, could be developed and if
found practical, manufactured right here
in Bellefonte. It was reported that the
committee had offered $700 in cash to be
used in installing and operating a scale
in the P. R. R. freight station in this
place. If that test should prove satis-
factory then a company was to be formed
with a capitalization of $50,000. $30,000
worth of commmon stock was to be sold
to the public and the balance of $20,000
given to the owners of the patent. They
declined to entertain any proposition
that would take the control of the manu-
facture out of their own hands; accord.
ingly it was dropped. All of the other
proposals made were found to be either
by wildcat promoters or by corporations
wanting more in bonus that Bellefonte
could raise. Possibly the American
Thermos Bottle Co. was the only one we
could have taken seriously. It wanted
$20,000 to establish a plant here, but it
has sipce been given $75,000 in cash and
located in the city of Norwich, Conn.
The list of proposals as read by secre-
tary Kelly is as follows:
Proposition of E. J. Decker, Philadel-
phia, to start the Lingle foundry. De-
cided not to come on accountof no bonus
being offered.

——On Friday afternoon about three
o'clock John Yearick's hay-baling outfit
was on the way to the White farm on the
hill west of the Miller toll gate and when
turning in off the pike to cross the bridge
over Logan's branch the engine got away
from the driver and ran over the bank.
It ran down the declivity of about five
feet before the regular driver, who had
been walking beside the engine, could get
aboard and stop it. The engine from
Yearick’s threshing outfit had to be
hunted up and it was several hours be-
fore the smaller one could be pulled back
onto the pike. No damage was done to
the machine.
COURT APPOINTS NEW ASSIGNEE.—On
May 11th, 1912, Howard Tipton, of Cur-
tin township, executed a deed of assign-
ment of his property for the benefit of
his creditors to Wm. Tressler, of Belle-
fonte. Owing to the fact that Mr. Tress-
ler was executor of the Meyer estate,
and in that capacity directly interested
as a creditor of Mr. Tipton, a number
of the creditors filed objections to him
acting in the capacity of assignee and
petitioned the court for his removal. The
case was heard at the last argument
court and several days ago Judge Orvis
handed down a decision releasing Mr.
Tressler and appointing Harry Keller to
act as assignee.
PENN STATE Downs W & J.—The big-
gest crowd that ever gathered on Beaver
field, State College, was assembled there
last Saturday afternoon to witness the
State—W. & J. football game. One week
previous the western Pennsylvania team
held the Carlisle Indians to a no score tie,
and naturally Saturday's game was ex-
pected to be very close and exciting. But
it wasn't. State was an easy winner by
the score of 30 to 0. Captain Mauthe,
Very, “Dad” Engle and Miller were the
stars for State, although the whole team
played good football. The issue now be-
fore the State team is the Cornell game
tomorrow. Judging from comparative
scores made the past two weeks State
ought to be a winner, but football is a
very uncertain sport and the outcome of
course will be watched with unusual in-
terest.
PRISONERS TO BE DISCHARGED HERE.—
Four prisoners brought from the western
penitentiary to the new prison site in
Benner township have already been dis-
charged, their terms of sentence having
expired, and in each case the men had to
be taken to Pittsburg to be given their
discharge. At the request of warden
John Francies Attorney General John C.
Bell last Friday gave it as his opinion
that the warden had the right to dis-
charge the prisoners here and pay them
the gratuity which the State allows to
discharged convicts. If the man lives
within fifty miles of the new penitentiary
site he may be given five dollars, and if
a greater distance ten dollars, with cloth-
ing allowance. So thatin the future all
prisoners brought here from the western
penitentiary will be discharged at the
new prison site when their terms expire.
TURKEYS NOT VERY PLENTIFUL.—This
year’s crop of turkeys is not a very large
one, according to reports from the farm-
ing sections of Centre county, and the
outlook for that toothsome dish of roast
turkey, and cranberry sauce for the
Thanksgiving dinner is not very promis.
ing. The only reason that can be assign.
ed for the small crop is so much wet
weather. The turkey, in its growing
state, cannot stand wet weather, and
many of the early hatchings died be-
fore they reached an age old enough to
stand the cold weather and frequent wet
spells of the spring months. And those
tur‘teys that did survive present a more
or less stunted growth at the present
time, so that it will require considerable
feeding to get them in good marketable
condition by Thanksgiving, without con-
sidering the question of price.
The wild turkey season opens Novem-
ber 1st and farmers through Bald Eagle
valley had better keep their tame turkeys
pretty close to home. State game warden
Berrier returned to Harrisburg last week
and gave out a report that “in the Bald
- | Eagle valley, from Tyrone to Lock Haven,
there are thousands of wild turkeys.”
Mr. Berrier stated that a few weeks ago,
in the woods bordering Tyrone, he saw a
flock of thirteen wild turkeys, and they
did not appear very wild at that. If the
game warden’s statement is correct then
wild turkeys must be able to survive wet
weather better than the domestic bird.
And whether the game birds are as plenti-
ful in the Bald Eagle valley as reported
or not, the story sent broad-cast through-
out the State will likely cause an influx
th | of hunters for the opening of the season,
hence this warning to farmers to keep a
close watch over their own turkeys.
the first of June, 1912, the State took over
in the neighborhood of eight thousand
miles of public roads in accordance with
the provisions of the Sproul bill providing
for a system of state highways through.

is now no doubt on that score. The roads
taken over by the State in Centre county
alone aggregate in the neighborhood of
one hundred and twenty miles. Just as
soon as possible after the roads were
taken over gangs of men were put to
work on the different sections whose ob-
ject it was to put the roads in the best
condition possible for public use until
such time as they can be built into macad-
amized state highways. All the break-
ers were removed and the roads rounded
up and stones remover and the result is
better roads through this section of the
State than was ever known before. Auto-
mobilists who travel by way of Snow
Shoe to Philipsburg and Clearfield say
there is not a breaker in that whole dis-
tance and the trip can be made in less
than two hours and a halt.
Through Bald Eagle valley, down Penns-
valley and over the Seven mountains the
roads are also being put in repair, but the
remodeling of the Nittany valley road is
one of the best pieces of work in this sec-
tion. Of course this road is virtually
being built into a state highway. The
work has progressed almost to Hecla and
everybody who has traveled over it has a
word of commendation for the builders.
Grades have been reduced where possi.
ble, all breakers removed and the road-
way has been rolled as solid and smooth

AT THE OPERA House.—When "Mutt
and Jeff” appears at Garmans tomorrow
(Saturday) matinee and evening it will
be with a new man taking the important
character of “Jeff.” Gus Alexander, the
star in that part, fell at Mishler’s thea-
tre, Altoona, last Thursday atternoon and
broke his arm and was compelled to go
to his home in Newark, N. J. The part
of “Jeff" is now being taken by William
A. Lester, Mr. Alexander's under-study,
and without detracting from the latter's
ability it is the opinion wherever the
show has appeared since that Mr. Lester
is playing his part superbly. “Mutt and
Jeff” carries between thirty-five and for-
ty people and the show abounds with hu-
morous situations, described as one con-
tinuous “gale of laughter” from the rise
to the fall of the curtain. There is a
large chorus of pretty girls, well trained
and gorgeously costumed, while the cast
is strong and evenly balanced. Prices
from 25 cents to $1.00, and seats should
be reserved early, Matinee at 2.30 p. m.
Prices, children 25 cents, adults 50 cents.
“East Lynne,” that beautiful play of
social life and of particular interest to
women, will be presented by Mr. Joseph
King’s new company at Garman's, on
Friday evening, October 25th. Written
by a woman, Mrs. Henry Wood, “East
Lynne” is one of the few dramas that
appeals principally to the fair sex, and
has for its leading characters, women
whose prototypes can be found today in
many fashionable drawing rooms. In no
play of recent years have the tender pas-
sions been so strongly drawn upon for
dramatic material as in “East Lynne.”
Love and sympathy predominates
throughout, while selfishness and hatred
are important adjuncts to the happy cul-
mination of a story that is brimfull of
interest. Prices 10, 20 and 30 cents.
BELLEFONTE ACADEMY NOTES.—Theo-
dore Westgate, Jr., a new student at the
Academy and son of Theodore Westgate,
head of the American Oil company, of
Titusville, has announced his intention of
presenting the school with fifteen fine
gold and blue blankets, with the letter
“B” on them, for the use of the football
team; a gift that will be highly appre-
ciated.
Dr. F. N. Seerley, of the International
Y. M. C. A. school of Springfield, Mass.,
with headquarters in New York, spent
two hours at the Academy on Monday
morning and gave the students a heart to
heart talk on physical morals, etc.
The Academy foot ball team will go to
Williamsport tomorrow and in the after-
noon will play the Dickinson Seminary
eleven. The Academy team won both
games played so far by decisive scores,
and tomorrow's game ought to be a good
one.

-Two of the old kind, the good old kind of
Democrats, Philip Meyer, of Centre Hall, and |
Capt. W. H. Fry, of Pine Grove Mills, were in

—George Grimm, of Punxsutawney, greeted
his many friends in this place last Saturday. He
is well pleased with his position as superintend-
ent of the furnace at that place and he and his
family are getting along very nicely in their new
home. Mrs. Grimm accompanied her husband
and spent the two days they were here among
her old neighbors.
—Miss Annie Schreyer, a daughter of Mv. and
Mrs. Charles Schreyer, of Altoona, has been la
Bellefonte for a week, a guest of the Misses Lulu
and Elizabeth Osmer, of Bush Additicn. Miss
Schreyer is at present making a short visit with
her uncle, Frank Crosthwaite, at State College
and will return Monday to Altoona, accompanied
by her aunt, Mrs. S. A. Bell.
—Among the old line Democrats who were in
Bellefonte Tuesday for that big Democratic rally
were Capt. John R. Lemon, of Gatesburg: A
Stine Walker, of Ferguson township, and S. A
Dunlap and Alex Archey, of Pine Grove Mills. If
every Democrat in the county was as staunch as
the above quartette. it would take no work at all
to get out a full Democratic vote and a Democrat.
ic victory would be recorded at every election.
—J. Herbert Bartley, superintendent of the
Clark Printing company’s plant in Lock Haven,
was in town Tuesday evening having come up
with his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Bartley. The elder Bartleys had gone to Lock
Haven on Saturday to make a visit with their son
and on Sunday Mr. Bartley, who is eighty-two
years old, became quite ill; in fact so ill that he
did not improve and his son thought it best to
bring him home.
—Former Senator Geo. M. Dimeling, of Clear-
field, spent Wednesday and Wednesday night in
Bellefonte. He came over in his fine new Olds
car just to call on friends about here. The Sena.
tor said he had no business, is out of politics and
came for the sole pleasure of renewing the many
pleasant acquaintanceships he has formed here.
Certainly his enjoyment could not have been more
than was that of the gentlemen who had the good
! fortune to greet him on Wednesday.
—Mr. and Mrs. J. Witmer McCormick, who
have been in Centre Hall for a short time visiting
Mrs. McCormick's parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. J
Meyer, spent Monday as the guests of Hon. and
Mrs. A. G. Morris on an automobile trip to Snow
Shoe, leaving the next day for their home in
Columbia, South Carolina. Mr. and Mrs. Charles
H. Mever and daughter Miriam, of Reedsville,
and John D. Meyer, of Altoona, were also at the
Meyer home over Sunday, completing the family
circle.
~—Mr. John Tate, formerly of the Valentine Iren
