Ice cream and cake will be served. The mercury was down to al- most the frost line on Tuesday morn- ing, but not low enough for Jack Frost to get in his work. And let us hope that he will defer his visit a few weeks longer. The famous Repasz band of Williamsport, which some time ago of- fered its services to the !Tnited States government, has beer: accepted and as- signed to the naval enlisting station at Irondequoit, N. Y. W. J. Brooks, for a number of years station agent at Curtin on the Bald Eagle valley railroad, has ten- dered his resignation and will leave today for Ratin, New Mexico, where his family have been for some time. An item in the Pine Grove Mills correspondence this week calls attention to a fiag raising at Marengo on Saturday evening, Sentember 3th. Since that part of thz paper was printed we have been informed that the flag raising has beer postponed until Saturday evenins, September 15th. Thousands of yea:ling trout are now being shipped from the Bellefonte fish hatchery to stock the various trout streams of the State. The out- put from the Bellefonte hatchery will be considerably larger this year than any year since the change from send- ing out trout fry to putting out noth- ing under yearlings. Governor Brumbaugh on Tues- day granted a respite to Ward Mot- tern, under sentence of death as the principal man in the Haines murder case in Jefferson county, from the week beginning September 10th ©o that of October 22nd, in order to al- low the Board of Pardons to consider his petition for another hearing.

It explains a new furnace that will revelutionize the hot-air heating system and minimize the coal bills; both of which features should have a strong appeal for your consid- eration. The anual reunicn of the Cen- tre county veteran club will be held at Pine Grove Mills on Saturday, Sep- tember 22nd. The committee in charge is making arrangements for an inter- esting gathering and not only all sol- diers but the public in general is in- vited to attend. Good speakers will be present. The gathering will be in the shape of a basket picnic. When you read something in the “Watchman” three weeks before you see it in the Literary Digest, you may be sure you are getting up-to- date news. On the front page of the “Watchman,” July 27th, was quoted an editorial, “Eat Wisely,” from the American Medical Journal. The same appeared Saturday, August 25th, in the Literary Digest under the head- ing “Diet By Price.” ——No contract was let by the Postoffice Department at Washington on August 7th for the carrying of the mails through Nittany valley from Bellefonte to Mill Hail by motor ve- hicle. Several bids were submitted, it is understood, but all of them were considered too high by the Depart- ment officials and for ths present the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania will continue to carry the mail as usual. A very near fire occurred af the home of Benjamin Bradley, on north Spring street, on Sunday morn- ing when a coal oil stove exploded. Fortunately nobody was close to the stove at the time so that none of the family received any burns, but the burning oil set fire to the window cas- ing and it was pretty badly charred before the flames were extinguished. The damage, however, was not very great, but the fire, though small, cre- ated considerable excitement while it tasted. OUR GIRLS BAND FESTIVAL. Drew An Immense Crowd to Mile:- burg on Saturday Night. Frank L. Wetzler and his Our Girls band of Milesburg was the ncvelty which drew several thousand pecpla to that town on Saturday evening for the sole purpose of attending a festival held for their beneft. Of cojirse the ice cream and cake were not the load- stone that drew the crowd but the de- sire to see the girls and hear them play. And in this the crowd was not disappointed, because the forty young girls, all under sixteen years of age, made a very enchanting appearance as they paraded from the band hall to the centre of the town, thence to the village green where the festival was held. And so far as their playing is concerned, it was very creditable con- sidering the amount of practice they have had. The time and technique was splendid and the volume it lacked on Saturday evening can be acquired gradually as the girls become more accustomed to playing in public. Mr. Wetzler is to be congratulated upon J his energy and zeal in gathering to- gether such a bevy of girls who prom- isc to develop a musical organization the equal of Our Boys hand and we doubt not that the time is not very far distant when there will crop out a question of rivalry between them. And then, when bandmaster Wetzler can consolidate the two organizations and appear in public on state occa- sions we venture the assertion that his musical career will be about at the zenith of his aspirations. As to the festival held Saturday night, as stated above, several thou- sand people were in attendance, as ev- idence of this, over five hundred auto- mobiles were parked on the streets and village green. Over one hundred cakes were disposed of, either at the festival or in the cake walks, and every ounce of the ice cream was sold. In fact they were sold “out of house and home,” as the expression goes, and, there was no trouble of any kind to mar the pleasure of the occasion. And best of all the treasury of Our Girls band was enriched by just $425. As a matter of interest we herewith append the make-up of Our Girls band: Cornets.—Ruth Wetzler, Mabel Spi- cer, Martha Barnhart, Marian Stover, Catharine Newman, Emma Dyke, Dorothy Heaton, Catharine Gross and Hazel Gunsallus. Clarinets.—Catharine Jodon, Ersal Quick, Verna Peters, Stella Bryan, Evelyn McClellan, Violet Lindemuth, Martha Beezer, Elizabeth Hugg, Glad- ys McKinley and Clara Eckenroth. Altos.—Florence Peters, Sara Shultz, Hazel Stanley and Velma Gingher. Baritones.—Marion Smith and Ma- ry Hall. Saxaphones.—Miriam Baird Christine Howard. Piccolo.—Elsie Gordoa. Trombones.—Esther Johnson, Lucy Watson, Ellen Hassinger, Margaret Newman and Florence Wagner. Bass.—Sue Newman, Sue Heaton and Florence Glenn. Snare drums.—Katharyn Shope and Marcella Green. Bass drum.—Carolyn Shindler. Six buglers are now in training and will be announced later. Produce Big and Penitentiary Gardens Crops. Motorists and others who take drives past the penitentiary farms at Rock- view are very sensibly impressed with the acres and acres of tomatoes, cab- bage, beans, potatoes, etc., that are now reaching a state of maturity. The tomato field, especially, impresses them with its acres of rirening vege- tables that cover the ziound almost like a greer and red carpet. The to- matoes, while not of un isual size, are smooth and of firm quality, but there are so many of them that one wonders now they are ever going tc handle them all in time to avoid any great waste With the cabbage turnips, po- tatnes and beans it is different. They can stay in the ground a week, two weeks or even a month longer than the usual time for gathering in and lose nothing by it. And in this connection it might be interesting to note that the peniten- tiary people have already put up 4,000 gallon cans of tomatoes and fig- ure that their entire crop will yield all told 34,000 gallon cans They have also put up 6,000 gallon cans of beans, canned all the raspberries and black- berries they could find on their moun- tain land and are now enzaged in can- ning elderberries. They are also at work drying sweet corn and the scale on which it is carried on can be judg- ed from the fact that they haul it in from the field in dump wagons. They are also making preparations for dry- ing a large quantity of peas and their crop of soup beans will figure up ma- ny bushels. They have also made forty barrels of sauerkraut out of their early crop of cabbage and this will all have to be eaten within the next six weeks or so, as it will not keep a great while. But they have thousands of heads of late cabbage, a good part of which will be" made into kraut for winter use. And in addition to what they are thus util- izing at the Rockview institution they have shipped over a car load of gar- den prodasce to Pittsburgh for use at the old penitentiary. The penitentiary potato crop this vear will also be very large and the probability is they will probably have enough to last them until another vear rolls around. ——While fishing in the Bald Ea- gle oreek near Curtin on Labor day, Mrs. James K. Barnhart landed a fif- teen inch bass. ——On Wednesday night members of the colored population of Bellefonte started a racket on the cor- ner of Allegheny and Bishop streets and when policeman Yeager attempt- ed to stop the trouble one of the num- ber threatened te hit him with a brick. It finally became necessary for the po- liceman te pull his gun. One of the rantankerous individuals was finally landed in the lockup where he spent the balance of the night. ——The Granger's picnic will be the big event in Pennsvalley next week but the Scenic is the “big thing” in Bellefonte every evening week in and week out, except Sundays. Regular patrons naturally are pleased with the pictures shown at the S:zenic but when strangers declare it is one of the best picture shows in the country it is an endorsement few sucn places of amusement receive. But the reason is one can always count on seeing some- thing new in the motion picture line. ——Former political associates of Lewis Emery Jr., of Bradford, will be interested in learning of lis marriage on Monday to Miss E. Leta Card, of New York city, the wedding taking place at the home of the bride’s moth- er at Port Hope, Canada. The bride- groom, who is seventy-nine years old, is well known by many Centre coun- tians owing to his prominent political life a number of years age. Mr. and Mrs. Emery will go to Peru on their wedding trip, the bridegroom having extensive mining and lur bering inter- ests in that country. ——The road man for the Western Union Telegraph company was in Bellefonte last week and succeeded in inducing Morris J. Kelley, manager of the office in this place to withdraw his resignation which had een tendered to take effect on September first. The inducements were of a substantial character and apportioned on an equi- table basis with the business done at the Bellefonte office. The patrons of the office in Bellefonte and vicinity will be pleased to know that Mr. Kel- ley will remain in charze, as he is a very accommodating official. Or Monday evening a strange man entered the home of Harry Lam- hert, near Milesburg, and seeing Mrs. Lambert there alone drew a revolver and demanded ten dollars. Though considerably frightened Mrs. Lambert did not lose her head but told the man she would go outside and get it from “him,” meaning her husband. Taking her two vear old child she wernt out the rear door, then fled to a neighbor’s and called for help. In the meantime the man left and disappeared before he could be apprehended. He was de- scribed as a man past middle age with quite a long beard. Postmaster P. H. Gherrity re- ceived a letter from his son Walter during the week containing the infor- mation that he is now stationed at the League Island navy yard, Philadel- phia. Walter was among the first bunch of Bellefonte boys to enlist for service in the navy. He has been in training at Newport, R. I, the past few months and recently was one of forty young men to tak: the examina- tion for chemists in the medical corps, passing the same with a rating of 88.3, or third man in the class, the highest man being 89.8. The voung man also writes with much enthusi- asm of his work. Announcements have been re- ceived in Bellefonte of the marriage of Miss Alice Downing, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Madison Down- ing, of Pueblo, and John Andrew Hun- ter, of Boulder, Colorado, the wedding having taken place in Pueblo, on Wednesday, August 29th. Mr. Hun- ter is a son of the late Capt. and Mrs. John A. Hunter, of Stormstown, and until leaving to accept the position of Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado, held a similar position at Penn State, ever since his graduation from that insti- tution in 1890. Mr. Hunter’s sister, Miss Mary Anna Hunter, has been her brother’s guest in Colorade for six weeks. ———ee ——Prothonotary David .R. Fore- man has at last come to it, and last week he purchased a Studebaker Special seven passenger automobile through the George A. Beezer agency. The Studebaker Special is a combina- tion of the 1917 and 1918 models which makes it practically a 1918 car. It is painted a maroon color, so that it will not be very difficult to pick out the prothonotary of Centre county if he ever gets mixed up in a big assem- blage of cars. Mr. Fcreman’s son Malcolm has been taking general in- structions on the idiosyncrasies of cars in general and how to manipu- late them in the most successful way this week and on him will fall the bur- den of operation, except the financial end of it. emt ——Within three months, or on De- cember first, Col. Emanuel Noll will retire as baggagemaster at the Penn- sylvania railroad in this place, not be- cause he is tired of his job but be- cause he will at that time have reach- ed the age limit of seveaty years and will be placed upon thz retired list. Col. Noll has been a very faithful em- ployee for a long term of years and very well deserves the retirement from active duties. In his mind he already has a number of trips planned to visit relatives through the middle west which will occupy the first few months of his time but be has become so used to meeting his oid friends in the baggage room scuth of the depot that it need not be surnrising to any one to see him hanging around there SopSinable when he has nothing else to do. some | i NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Hon.

Wilbur Saxion and A. B. Steele have been making a canvas of the town this week for th: purpose of finding out how many oeople will con- tinue as steam heat users, as itis claimed a company has been formed to operate the plant during the com- ing winter. The rates they are offer- ing include a forty per rent. advance on what the Bellefonte Steam Heat and Gas company started the season on last year. That is, if your heat was ten dollars at that time it would be fourteen for the coming winter. It will be recalled that the old com- pany started in the season last year on practically the same rates that had been charged the year previcus. Lat- er they added a thirty per cent. in- crease and when the citizens commit- tee took charge they doubled the rate including the increase. So that the rate promised for this year will be but little more than one-half that paid the citizens committee. Though a large number of people in Bellefonte have installed heating plants ir their homes a good per cent. of them will patron- ize the local plant if they get good service.
