Y., manufacturers of padlocks, door pushes, sash lifts, iron handles, ham- mers, hatchets, etc., the kind sold in 5 and 10 cent stores. Required 5,000 square feet of floor space and $10,000 worth of common stock. Weisel Manufacturing Co.. of Brook- lyn, N. Y., manufacturers of all kinds of machinery and machine parts. Employ "ease. While in Bellefonte last Friday a demonstration was given on curb climb- ing, and the big truck was driven right driven up over the curb with ease. Its four wheel steer is just as important a feature in the handling of the truck as the four wheel drive is in its power capacity. A number of prominent business men of Bellefonte watched the demonstration with considerable interest. The compa- ny announces that bids are now being re- ceived for an additional building and machinery already negotiated for, so that from 25 to 50 trucks of from two to three tons capacity can be turned out within the next year. The company now has standing orders for a half dozen or more of the trucks and the indications are that the present plant of the Beech Creek Truck and Auto Co. is but the be- ginning of what will ultimately grow into a big industry. — Pe A GooDp ENTERTAINMENT. — The Old Home week minstrels and entertainment at Garman’s opera house last Friday night proved a success both as a pleas- ing diversion as well as financially, prov- ing that the young men who worked so hard to make the Old Home week a suc- cess are just as fertile in imagination and proficient in execution when it comes to giving a minstrel show to a crowded car was sent down to bring him home. 200 skilled workmen with an annual pay Though very cold he was none the worse | roll of $200,000. - Required building of I brick or concrete, two railroad connec- i for his walk and in the afternoon was | against the curb and stopped, then with- ; | out backing the fraction of an inch was | around as spry as ever. : | ——Jacob M.

Va, where the former will become | manager of the ready-to-wear department of The Hub store, one of the largest de- pariment stores in Wheeling. Mr. Levi is ason of Mr. and Mrs. M. Levi, of this ! place, while his wife is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Cherry. ——Marny people are patrons of the motion pictures who rarely go to any | other kind of entertainment, and it is not difficult to tell why. The total cost of a week’s attendance at the movies is only equal to one night at some other | place. Then again, the pictures of to- day, the kind shown at the Scenic, have outgrown the blood and thunder of the western plains and cowboy episodes and are dealing with dramatic situations as ' real as any ever portrayed upon the legit- | imate stage. For the best of them, go to ! the Scenic. ——The congregation of the Market Square Presbyterian church, Harrisburg, evidently appreciates the work of Dr. ‘tions, two acres of land, to cost $75,000 to $100.000 to be deeded to them in fee simple free of all encumbrances when they have paid out two million dol- lars in wages and are employing regular- ly 20C skilled men.

At a congregational meeting held on Wednesday evening, house, such as that of last Friday night, when the S. R. O. sign wase hung out The | shortly after the doors opened. Lewis Daggett, the promoter of the minstrel first part, was the only heir- loom of the stage in the whole cast, all the others being new in minstrelsv. But Lewy has lost none of his cunning, and as interlocutor he guided the debutantes along the stagecraft pathway with such a skillful hand that it was smooth sail: ing from the beginning. Most of the songs had never been heard on the Belle- fonte stage while many of the jokes were new and so aptly adapted to local char- acters that they were loudly applauded. The one act comedy skit “A Girl to Order,” was rendered in a delightful manner, while “A Night at Castle House,” was an artistic close to a delightful enter- tainment. The net amount realized for the Old Home week fund was $202, which still leaves an indebtedness of be- tween forty and fifty dollars. Already plans are being made whereby the total indebtedness can be wiped out. A Goop WORD FROM COLORADO.—Sev - eral days ago a prominent business man of Bellefonte, who by the way is so. mod- est that he don’t care to have his name mentioned, brought to this office a letter he received last week from the Gilliland Hardware Co., of La Junta, Col, in which the proprietor, Mr. J. Gilliland says: DEAR SIR:—We came here from Clearfield, Pa., about two years ago, and to keep posted on what happens back in Central Pennsylvania, take the DEMOCRATIC WATCHMAN which, by the way, as a country newspaper, occupies a class by itself, as it is head and shoulders ahead of any- thing I have ever run across. Mr. Gilliland’s letter then calls atten- tion to the business man’s advertisement and the low prices quoted for a certain commodity, etc., which shows that ad- vertising in the WATCHMAN is liable to bring results from most any point in the United States. This is a pointer that all wise business men should not overlook. MORE BUSINESS CHANGES.—Last week the WATCHMAN announced that Gard- ner’s china store could be bought. To- day we announce that C. D. Casebeer, the jeweler, has bought it and will trans- form it into one of the most attractive business places in the town. He will dispose of all the cheaper lines of china and crockery in the store and will retain only the cut glass and rarer chinas in conjunction with his}jewelry store which he will move into the new quarters as soon as possible. Miss Elizabeth Cooney will move her millinery from the Claster store, where she is now located, to the rooms in the Sands building which Mr. Casebeer will vacate. WELL KNOWN EYE SPECIALISTS WILL BE HERE NEXT WEDNESDAY. —Rubin & Rubin, Harrisburg’s leading eye special- ists will be at Krumrine’s drug store, Bellefonte, and Mason’s drug store, Lock Haven, on Wednesday, January 26th, for one weeks’ time. > LosT.—During the past week, in Belle- fonte, a gold Masonic charm, the double headed eagle. A very liberal reward is offered for its return to this office. January 12, the congregation approved the recommendation of the board of trus- tees to grant him a $500 increase in sala- ry, effective January first. Dr. Hawes went to Harrisburg September 15th, 1915, on a salary of $3,000 a year, parsonage free and other perquisites, and the above increase is evidence that the congrega: ten is well satisfied with his work. ——The young men of Bellefonte will give a dance in the armory on Friday, February 18th, that promises to be the society event of the winter. Meyer Da- vis’ orchestra, of the Bellevue-Stratford, Philadelphia, has been engaged for the occasion. The price will be $250 a couple, including refreshments. Fifty cents admission will be charged to those { going as spectators only. The orchestra will give a special concert beginning at 8.30 o'clock. Dancing at nine. A spe- cial train will be run from State College to Bellefonte, returning after the dance. ——Bellefonte must have lost its mas- cot or is the victim of some Moloch of unkind fate just at present. Not only has the Steam Heating company been unable to get a sufficient supply of coal for this cold weather but the various coal dealers are short of bituminous coal right along. And on top of it all on Tuesday morning when the engineer at- tempted to start the steam pump at the water works one of the piston heads blew out, and the result was residents on the higher locations in the town were without water all day until in the even- ing when the Pennsylvania Match com- pany put its big pump to work and help- ed out with the supply. ——Newton Hockman, the well known produce dealer of Zion, was badly burn- ed last Friday morning and is thankful that he is still alive. In repairing a de- fect in his automobile he spilled a quan- tity of gasoline on his clothes. Some time afterwards he went into the house and struck a match to light his pipe. In- stantly his clothing burst into flames. His son Clyde came into the room a few seconds later and smothered the flames with his coat, but not before Mr. Hock- man’s hands and arms were burned deep into the flesh. His eyebrows and mous- tache were burned off and his faceslight-. ly burned. Only the timely arrival of his son saved him from being burned to death. : ——Bellefonte residents like to be amused. That is, they will flock to an entertainment with a good laugh in it and plenty of music in preference to a serious drama with a good moral in it. This was exemplified last week. The “Within the Law” company played to an eighty dollar house while the opera house was filled just two nights later when “The Million Dollar Doll” appeared. There was a good plot and a splendid moral to the first play while the latter had little plot to commend it, but its lively melange of music, dances and gen- eral comedy was loudly applauded and the presentation pleased the audience generally. Bellefonters can. appreciate a good, legimate drama, but the mood for the frivolous is oftenest on them. them that their “roun’ up” is a showy string with plenty of pace and lots of vim, all of which gives a cachet and elegance to the three dance finales closing each act of the farago. Beautiful, flowery Japan, with its won- derful schemes, gold, silver and tinsel, is profusely illustrated in the stage settings used in “Japland”, an operatic minstrel farce-comedy which comes to Garman’s on Friday, February 4th. The offering is a novelty because of its absolute new- ness of idea and construction, containing a bit or two from every form of stage creation, opera, farce and minstrelsy pre- dominating. The fact that a girl chorus of twenty is carried will be welcome news to the followers of minstrelsy, for, while John W. Vogel’s Big Minstrels has ever been sufficient in itself to pack a theater, many theater-goers want to see and hear the girls, they of trim forms and beauti- ful voices together with their ability to cavort, pirouette and dance, and Mr. Vogel claims to have the best singing- dancing chorus ever seen in a play-house, NEw CHURCH DEDICATED.—The new nine thousand dollar Presbyterian church at Mill Hall was dedicated on Sunday. with appropriate services. Sixteen hun- dred dollars were raised at the two ser- vices, leaving only four hundred dollars to be raised to free the church of debt. Describing the church the Lock Haven Express on Monday said: The new church is a handsome struc- ture situated on Main street, Mill Hall. It was designed by Miss Anna Keichline, architect, of Bellefonte, and the contract- ors were Tidlow Brothers, of Flemington. The building is 45x75 feet in dimensions and is of veneer brick. The main audi- torium is 45x45 feet with seating accom- modations for 275. There is an infant room and a Sunday school room with a capacity of 100. A kitchen is also a unique feature, which makes the building avaiable for social purposes. The in- terior has the exposed truss effect and is very artistic. The walls are frescoed in three shades and the pews are quartered oak. HARTSWICK—MORAN.—Thursday morn- ing, January 13th, at the Reformed par- sonage, Mr. Howard C. Hartswick and Miss Helen E. Moran were married by the Rev. Ambrose M. Schmidt, D. D. Haroldis the youngest son of Mr. John M.

Edward Shaffer, of Hanover, was in Bellefonte Tuesday night and Wednesday morn- ing on his way over to Madisonburg to see his parents.
