Twenty-three counties now have such bureaus. In his speech Governor Brumbaugh emphasized the importance of young men acquiring a large outlook in life, which can only be attained by hard work ap- plied daily. “The finest contribution you can make to State College and the Com- monwealth which nurtures this College,” said the Governor, “is to lend yourselves to a useful career. If you work hard and pray together, you can make Pennsyl- vania the cleanest, sweetest, holiest place in which children shall be born and men and women live.” Luncheon was served the Governor and prominent guests in the ladies cot- tage by the young women in the depart- ment of Home Economics, the menu be- ing of the young ladies own selection and preparation.

It was one of the hardest fought games ever witnessed at the College. As a social side of the affair there were house parties and dances galore and the 1915 Pennsylvania day was regarded the most successful one yet held at the College. EE eee KILLED BY EXPLODING PULLEY.— Charles Emanuel Houseman, of Millheim, was struck on the back of the head by a piece of an exploded pulley, while walk- ing through the wood machine room in the engineering building at State Col- lege, about four o'clock on Monday after- noon, and died two hours later as the re- sult of a fractured skull.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH —Fred Dyke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Dyke, of Milesburg, had a miraculous es- cape from death at the Armor Gap plant of the American Lime & Stone company last Friday afternoon. Dyke is engineer at the stone crusher and was in the building oiling the machinery. A pro- jecting key on the fly wheel caught his clothing and he was whirled around two or three times until every stitch of cloth- ing he had on except his shoes and stock- ings was torn from his body when he was thrown to the floor. None of his fellow workmen were in the room at the time of the accident but hearing his cries they went to his assist- ance. Not knowing how badly he was injured he was bundled up and sent to the hospital where it was found that no bones had been broken. He had a bad cut across the forehead and several cuts on other parts of the body which required twenty-four stitches to close. Every in- dication is that he will soon be around as well as ever.

The Bellefonte Academy did not fare so well at the hands of the Cornell Freshmen, being de- feated by the scoreof 40 to 7. Evidently the first year men at Ithaca must have ; imbibed some of the winning football spirit from the regular Cornell eleven. | ——Four hunters from the western part of the State passed through Belle- fonte on the 1:08 p. m. train Saturday with sixty-five pheasants and forty-seven rabbits. The birds were piled on the platform of one of the cars while the rabbits were strung up in the baggage car. The game was the result of four days hunt in the mountains near Renovo, and was mute evidence of the fact that neither birds nor rabbits are very scarce in that locality. ——Bellefonte has not been favored with the Centre county school teachers this week, and the latter have missed a lot of enjoyment by not being able to at- tend the Scenic. Few moving picture theatres in the State are now showing the nightly programs of high class pic- tures as manager T. Clayton Brown throws on the screen every evening for the entertainment of his patrons. The famous Paramount pictures are shown regularly two nights a week, and other big features are shown right along. ——The Annual Thanksgiving meet- ing and tea of the Women’s Home Mis- sionary Society of the Presbyterian church will be held in the chapel on Thursday, November 18th, at 3.30.

The music by the choir will also be a pleasing feature. A social hour and tea will follow the services. All the women of the congregation are urged to be present. , ——C. C. Shuey is exhibiting a core of coal taken from a test hole made by a diamond drill on coal lands in Marshall county, West Virginia, in which he is financially interested. The core shows six feet two inches of clean coal, equal in quality to the famous Pittsburgh coal. The vein is unusually thick and is ev- idence of a large deposit of coal. The field, which is yet undeveloped, contains about three thousand acres and fronts on the Ohio river. Mr. Shuey and A. M. Rishel are both interested in the development of the above coal territory. ——On Friday of last week Hon. A. G. Morris was eighty-one years old and he celebrated the day by looking after his big limestone interests hereabouts in the same careful way he does every day. Of course he received many congratulations over the telephone and personally from his friends around town. Mr. Morris is one of the youngest old men in Belle- fonte and thinks nothing of walking from four to six miles a day to and from the various plants of the American Lime and Stone company. May he live to cel- ebrate many more birthday anniversa- ries, as he is the kind of man that any community can ill afford to lose. ——That the Earle Stock company which is filling a week’s engagement at Garman’s, has already established a rep- utation as being one of the highest class organizations having visited here in many seasons, has been proven by the excellent performances given since their opening last Saturday, and those who at- tended have been well pleased. The plays, players, and vaudeville which is given between acts, are of such a nature that they must be seen to be appreciat- ed. The company is composed of ladies and gentlemen, and they should have good houses the remainder of their en. gagement. This afternoon Miss Kirk will hold a special matinee for ladies only, giving her illustrated talk on “White Slavery,” and her subjects will be “The Girl Who Goes Wrong,” “Our Sisters on the Street,” “The Wages of Sin,” and “Commercialized Vice.” Girls under the age of sixteen will not be ad- mitted unless with an older person. special trains there was a perfect jam of uous political campaign hunting pheas- with the prothonotary within thirty days after the election. Failure to do so will disqualify them from getting a commis- sion. Heretofore it was the duty of the pro- thonotary to certify to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, immediately after the election, the names of all persons elected justices of the peace within the county. Commissions for the same were then made out at the State Department and forwarded to the prothonotary. Ordi- narily about one-fourth of the commis- sions were never lifted and the new law was passed to avoid the work of making out commissions that were not wanted. Under the new law the prothonotary waits until the expiration of thirty days and then certifies to the Secretary of the Commonwealth the names of the mzn who have filed acceptances and intend to | lift their commissions, and any who have been elected and fail to file an accept- ance their office will be designated as vacant and it will be up to the Governor to appoint a man to fill the vacancy. W. C. T. U. INsTITUTE.—The W.C. T. U. institute held in Petrikin hall on Monday was well attended, both morn- ing and afternoon. Mrs. Sylvia B. Nor- rish, corresponding secretary of the State W C. T. U, had charge, and explained the work of the W. C. T. U. in its differ- ent departments, after which she gave a talk on “How to Make the W. C. T. U. More Efficient.” Miss Savilla Rearick, of Centre Hall, read a paper on “The Relation of the W. C. T. U. to the Com- munity.” Mrs. A. L. Wright, of State College, talked of the work done zt the convention at York. Three ministers were present and spoke on “National Prohibition.” Rev. Charlton presented the subject from the question “Why?” Rev. Finney, of Ohio, answercc the question “How?” and Rev. Carson answered the question “When?” The Unions outside of Bellefonte that were represented were, Centre Hall, Millheim, Milesburg and State College. Mrs. E. B. Foster, president of the Mifflin county Union, was present and gave a most interesting talk on the diffi- culties under which the W. C. T. U. women worked in order to have the State convention held at York. — ee ee OLp HOME WEEK BENEFIT.—A home talent entertainment will be given 1n the opera house on Tuesday evening, Decem- ber 21st, for the purpose of clearing up the debt of two hundred and fifty dollars still remaining from the Bellefonte Old Home week celebration. Preliminary ar- rangements for the entertainment were made at a meeting held in Blanchard and Blanchard’s office on Monday even. ing. Mr. Garman has agreed to give the opera house free; Christy Smith’s or- chestra will contribute the music and all the amateur talent will be free. So far quite a number of people have been seen and have agreed to appear in some role or specialty. Everybody who has ever appeared in amateur theatricals will be asked and any others who are willing to assist are requested to volunteer their services. The entertainment will be in charge of Lewis Daggett and J. Mac. Heinle, and this fact alone presages its success.

The test for this section was made by J. L. Hicks, of Williamsport, distributor for Central Pennsylvania.

The distance on the above run is 250.08 miles and Mr. Hicks drove it in less than eight hours in a Studebaker Six. On Tuesday he drove the lap from Bellefonte to Philips- burg in fifty-five minutes and from Ty- rone to Bellefonte in forty-five minutes. —“It's A Long Way to Tipperary,” written by the well known dramatist, William Anthony McGuire, was a success from the outset, because it is a thorough- ly human play; because itis a play which touches the heart strings, because it delves into things of real life and treats of people we know to exist who are struggling in the conflict that is raging across the Atlantic and of whom we know so little of. Simplicity is the keynote of the story and it appeals to all classes of theatre goers. The famous actor- comedians, Price and Butler, are stars in this play which will appear at Garman’s Tuesday evening, November 16th. Prices, 25, 35 and 50 cents. ——C. W.
