Mr. Olewine is now doing post graduate work and is an assistant instructor at the University of Illinois. No time has been set for the wedding. ——One of the many pleasing letters we have received from subscribers dur- ing the Holiday Season: “The “Watchman” is an excellent paper in‘every respect except its politics, in which connection no improvement is discernible.” Of course you will all undertand that the writer of the above is an uncomprom- rising Republican for which we forgive him on the ground that he is not alto- gether hopeless, for he still discerns the real news value of the “Watchman” and, we opine, that he frequently agrees with its editorial utterances, as well. ——A happy Holiday home coming was that of Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Lucas, of Blairsville, who, with their children Lisle and Lucille, arrived at the home of grandfather and Mrs. H. N. Jones, in Milesburg, the day after Christmas. Mrs. Lucas will be remembered as a Bellefonte hospital nurse, before her marriage. Grandfather Jones, poor deluded soul, thinks he’s different from the ordinary grand-parent and swears that he doesn’t do a thing to spoil the grand-children, but the very fact that he was in Belle- fonte visiting the toy shops and arrang- ing for a Christmas tree for the little folks long before they arrived; is prima- facia evidence that he’s about as good pickin’ for a cute kid as every other grand-dad we know of is. | Great Minstrel Show the New Year’s | Celebration at the New Penitentiary. |itentiary at Rock View. It was New | Year’s night and they celebrated it by | staging a minstrel and vaudeville show. | which kept the five hundred or more | HARGEN PETERS. —5. R. Posie Hadden | and Miss Anna Peters, both of Beech i Creek, were married at the Disciple church, Mill Hall, on Wednesday of last | week, by the pastor, Rev. M. C. Frick. Fol- : lowing a brief wedding trip to Philadel- phia, they will take up their residence on the bridegroom’s farm near Beech Creek. : men in an uproar of laughter for two ! hours. A stage was erected across the north l end of what is now the east dormitory | room, which will really be one of the | spacious dining halls when the institu- | tion is completed. Of course you will | understand that in such a place many | makeshifts have to be resorted to, but withal a very stagey looking stage was | worked out with the odds and ends the in- mates had accessto. There were real foot lights, wings, tormentor, flies and drops, painted specially for this show by some- one with talent before he went to Rock View to reside. All of the inmates, numbering four hundred and forty-four,with the overseers and other officers of the institution were assembled in the play house when the writer arrived. Beds, boxes, stools and chairs were requisitioned for seats and | the Rock View band was playing the “Rock View Symphony” preparatory to the rise of the curtain. It looked like a real show and there was pleasurable an- ticipation written on the faces of every- one of the spectators. Those fortunate enough to possess the weeds were smok- ing and chatting in an orderly, expect- ant way, but the low mumble of conver- sation was hushed when a quartette be- gan to sing behind the scenes. Then the curtain rolled revealing the stage set for a court scene. All manner of misdemeanors were on the ‘socket,” as the judge persisted in calling it, and a large sign at the rear admonished those having business in court “Don’t spit on the floor, spit on the Judge.” The Judge, the district attorney, the policeman and the various culprits were all good in their parts but the “ambulance chasing lawyer” who defended all comers, was a star and we wondered, as we listened to him, how in the world he ever got to Rock View with such power of argumen- tation with which to defend himself. The hit of this act came when the Judge quashed an indictment against a fellow for stealing a case of beer. It developed that there were only nine bottles in the case, whereupon the Judge promptly ruled that nine bottles never would make a case and discharged the prisoner in- stanter. Then followed a team of clever Yid- dishers who amused the crowd immense- ly, some street patter and a farce enti- tled “On the Border.” It had a lot of real comedy in it and was acted to a fin- ish. When “Sambo” finally caught Villa and choked him to death with his naked hands nearly everybody was convulsed. The latter half of the show was staged by the colored contingent in the institu- tion and would have done credit tc a pro- fessional aggregation. In fact one of the leads was a professional and he danced and acted like he had been a very good one at that. There was singing, danc- ing, monologues and bits of comedy, with just the right swing to them to call for numerous encores and the colored actors were unmistakably happy over the hit they made. We understand that there had been some rivalry whilé the show was in re- hearsal as to which crowd would give the best acts. The immense audience may not have been a very discriminat- ing one but its applause certainly gave the greatest approval to the colored boys. At eight o'clock the show ended, the band played again and the men all filed out to their quarters to think of and talk over what certainly must have been a very bright * opening of the New Year for them. >on To Organize a Farm Bureau. A preliminary meeting was held at State College during Farmers’ week by the farmers of Centre county for the purpose of establishing a Farm Bureau. Thirty-six counties in the State have Farm Bureaus in active operation with extension representatives at work. The farmers of Centre county at this meeting felt that Centre county should have the advantages of such an organi- zation and took preliminary steps toward securing one. Arrangements have been made for holding meetings in various parts of the county at which this work will be explained and also, to later on, hold a county-wide meeting at Bellefonte for the purpose of organizing the Centre county Farm Bureau. Meetings will be held at Howard, Spring Mills, Pine Grove, Stormstown, Philipsburg, Boalsburg, Zion and Wad- dle. Definite arrangements have been made to hold a meeting at Howard on Friday afternoon, January 12, at 2 p. m.; another at Pine Grove, January 13 at 7.30 p. m.; another at Spring Mills, January 13,at 1p. m. A representative from the extension department of the college will be present at these meetings to explain the advan- tages and work of the Extension Repre- sentatives and how the Farm Bureau is organized. We would urge that as many as possi- ble of the Centre county people attend these meetings. Thursday, February 1, at 10 a. m., has been selected as the date for the county- wide meeting to be held in the court house at Bellefonte for the purpose of completing this organization.

Dale, of this place. Motoring to State College they were married by Father O’Hanlon at his residence. The only witnesses present were the bride- groom’s parents and Mrs. T. A. Shoe- maker, of this place. Immediately after the ceremony the young couple motored to Tyrone and took the train for Ames, Towa, where Mr. Yerger is taking a post graduate course and is also serving as director of athletics. Mr. Yerger is a graduate of State Col- lege and will be well remembered be- cause of his connection with the State football team on which he played half- back two or three seasons. ——They are all good enough, but the WATCHMAN is always the best. Presbyterian Sunday School Presents Cantata. “An American Santa Claus” was the tale of a very melodious, attractively staged and splendidly acted Christmas cantata, which the scholars of the Belle- fonte Presbyterian Sunday school gave in the chapel Wednesday and Thursday evenings of the Holiday week. The first performance was purely an entertainment for the Sunday school itself, while the second was given for the benefit of the Bellefonte hospital and resulted in earning $17.40 for that worthy institution. : It is not often that such pretentious entertainments are undertaken for Christmas festivals. This one might have been staged at Garman’s and been received as a quite worthy offering for a real play house. The little folks worked for a month under the coaching of Supt. Jas. R. Hughes and they must all have felt wonderfully repaid for their efforts because of the enthusiastic reception they received each evening. We regret that an unusual demand on our space this issue precludes mention- ing each one of the large cast, for they all deserved it. Over and above every- thing else, however, stood out the tune- fulness of the music-score and the dash with which the children sang it. They seemed to have the assurance of professionals, both in their acting and singing, and worked to the presentation of a charming little story with most pleasing results. ——For high class Job Work come to the WATCHMAN Office. ZESSINGER—BREON.—George A. Zes- singer, of Lock Haven, and Miss Lodie A. Breon, of Millheim, were married at on December 23rd, by the pastor, Rev.

Carloads of special machinery are now on the way to Bellefonte for installation ' at the plant of the Bellefonte Engineer- ing Co. This marks the beginning of ‘an experimental operation by the | Abramsen Engineering Co., of Pittsburg, to make straightening machines and ‘ chinery at this place. i By February 1st the new concern will be in charge there for the purpose of | trying out the labor situation here, for | when developed to its full capacity the | dred men. necticns which Dr. Chas. enjoys with a number of those interest- ed. While at first the work will cover | only the machine shops of the old plant the plans are to take over the foundry later. There they will make their own castings and then build a steel foundry in which to make the steel castings that are a necessary part of the business. If the labor situation fulfills their hope | two other affiliated concerns will locate here and an immense new industry, with plenty of capital to back it, will be the New Year's greeting that the industrial world gives to Bellefonte. Joseph Harbold, present manager of the Bellefonte Engineering Co., will be- come superintendent of the machine shops. The heads of the operating de- partments will be Pittsburgh men. Mr. Harbold is to be given time to close up his present contracts and get the plant in condition to be turned over to the new concern, but it will be done as speedily as possible. When Dreams Come True. Philip Bartholmae’s dreams seem to be coming true these days, at least in the material sense of pleasing audiences who are in search of something light, amus- ing and at the same time of sufficient merit to distract attention from more serious things. In conjunction with Silvio Hein, the provider of the music, Mr. Bartholomae has put forward in “When Dreams Come True,” an inter- esting rival of the musical plays which have gone before, and he has managed to inject a satisfactory amount of the characteristics of his comedy essays. Mr. Hein, from the standpoint of the popu- lar catchiness in his special musical num- bers, maintains himself well in all the nearly two score that are provided. Chief among these is “When Dreams Come True” the song which gives the play its title and which runs through some of the orchestral instrumentation. “When Dreams Come True” will be seen at Garman’s Tuesday evening, January 9th. Prices 35, 50, 75, $1.00 and 1.50.
