Trout fishing for this year is now a thing of the past for all law- abiding citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Kline have leased one of the Aiken flats and will take possession on the first of August. A meeting of the W. C. T. U. will be held in their room Friday, August 1st, at 3 p. m. All the mem- bers are urged to be present. Up to this writing no trace has been found of the big colored prison- er who escaped from the western pen- itentiary almost two weeks ago. The Logan fire company will positively dispose of its big Pierce Arrow car in the Diamond tomorrow (Saturday) evening, and it will be a bargain to whoever gets it. Don’t overlook the fact that Mrs. H. W. Irvin will sell her house- hold goods at the J. C. Jodon store on south Water street tomorrow (Satur- day) afternoon at 1:30 o’clock. The condition of Miss Rebecca Valentine, who recently underwent an operation for appendicitis, at the Bellefonte hospital, is very much im- proved and she will be able to leave the hospital in the near future. The big Grange fair and en- campment at Grange park, Centre Hall, will this year be held the week of September 6th to 12th inclusive, announcement of the program for which will be made in due time. There will be a Patriotic League meeting in the High school building this Friday, August 1st, at 7:30 p. m. All members are urged to be present to hear Miss Gates’ report on her trip to the conference at Silver Bay. : ——J. M. McGarvey and Dorsey Reed, two returned soldiers, have rented the old Mart Garman stable near the gas works and have opened an establishment for the painting, let- tering and varnishing of automobiles. If you have any work in this line give these young men a trial and their charges will be reasonable and satis- faction guaranteed. At the luncheon given by Mrs. G. Ross Parker Friday of last week in honor of her daughter, Miss Eleanor Schofield Parker, announcement was made of the engagement of Miss Par- ker and Henry Keller Jr. No time has been set for the wedding as Mr. Keller will return to Penn State to finish his college work, which was in- terrupted by his entering the service. Mrs. Harriet Flack, of Logan street, entertained with a child’s par- ty Monday of last week, in honor of her grand-daughter, Nancy Jane Sheckler, the five year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Sheckler, of east High street. Thirty-two little friends of the child were guests of Mrs. Flack, and everything in the way of entertainment and goodies for the lit- tle ones was provided by the hostess. The Methodist Episcopal Sun- day school of Milesburg will hold a mid-summer lawn festival on the grounds at the corner of Pike and Water streets, Milesburg, Saturday evening, August 2nd. Prof. Frank Wetzler’s Girls band will furnish the music. The refreshments will include ice cream, cake and candy. Surprise packages will be on sale. Everybody is invited and a good time is assured all who attend. Frank R. Smith, who last week returned home from overseas, has leased the room in the Reynolds building formerly occupied by his brother, A. Clyde Smith, and will at once open up a cleaning and pressing establishment. In this connection it might be said that Frank did the tail- oring of a soldier unit at Is-surtile in France, where he was stationed while abroad, and cleaned up a nice bunch of money in addition to his regular pay. The Americanization class which holds forth two evenings each week at the Bellefonte high school has dwindled down to from four to six members during the summer months, but this is accounted for by the fact that most of the foreigners who started in with the class in the spring when it numbered from twen- ty to twenty-five, have been devoting their evenings to gardening and have not the time to spare to go to the classes, but later in the summer the number is expected to increase. The annual reunion of the Cen- tre county veteran club will be held this year at Martha on Saturday, Au- gust 23rd, in connection with the big | Williams family reunion. This will be the first time that the veterans have met in that section of the county and they will undoubtedly prove an added attraction to what has for years been one of the biggest gatherings in Cen- tre county. The citizens of Howard have planned to hold a big welcome home gathering on the same day, and unless the date is changed the two meetings will conflict. Last Friday evening Ellis Hines made a trip up the back road past the Reuben Valentine farm in a truck of the Beatty Motor company. Just as he turned onto the new bridge at the Phoenix mill on his homeward trip the steering apparatus broke and the car ran into the truss, breaking the lights, windshield and badly dam- aging the radiator. The accident happened about nine o'clock and occa- sioned considerable excitment in that neighborhood. Fortunately driver Hines was uninjured and the bridge took the bump with only a quiver. | the Germans had carried on the war EE —————— Te DD a JOHN BULL AND UNCLE SAM. { Chautauqua Lecturer Made Earnest Appeal for League of Nations. Lecturing on the subject, “John Bull and Uncle Sam” Frederick Wil- liam Wile, the Monday night Chau- tauqua speaker, made an earnest and eloquent plea in behalf of support for the League of Nations. Mr. Wile is an old newspaper man, having been foreign correspondent for the New York World, Philadelphia Public Ledger and Chicago Tribune, and dur- ing fourteen years’ residence in Ber- lin also represented the London Times. Prior to going to Germany he spent six years in England hence his lecture on Monday evening, while it savored very strongly of pro-English, must be regarded as a statement of facts as he saw them. And while he praised the British for what they had done during the great world war he did not in any way underrate the part the United States had played to bring the war to a successful issue. And it was plainly evident that he has no love for Germany or anything German. Having lived among them so long, he spoke with an authority that carried conviction. Mr. Wile was in Germany through all of Ambassa- | dor Gerard’s term of service there and was in personal contact with the American foreign office almost every day, and was outspoken in his con- tempt for the German rulers and the German people. In making his plea for the League of Nations he said it had been inspir- ed by America as the one means to prolong peace and it was hoped pre- vent wars in the future. That all oth- er nations were approving it as speed- ily as possible and it would be a last- ing shame and dishonor if the United States was to disapprove it. In speaking of the part the British played in the great war he gave fig- ures to show what it cost that country in dollars and lives, but stated that they never boasted of their doings. Prior to coming to the United States Mr. Wile visited England and he stat- ed that though he traveled from one end of the country to the other he did not see a service button or a service flag, but when he landed in the United States both emblems were as thick as flies from Maine to the Gulf of Mexi- co and from the Atlantic to the Pa- cific. The comparison was not made in any way derogatory to the Ameri- can people but to emphasize the fact that the British were much more stol- id and phlegmatic. They did - their part without a murmur or complaint and having done it, never advertised the fact to the rest of the world. In speaking of the peace settlement and the terms that had been imposed upon Germany he stated that every trade’s organization in the United States should refuse to buy anything marked “made in Germany” until the Germans as a nation show some signs of repentance, and there is no evi- dence of that up to this time. At the conclusion of his talk he gave any person who chose to do so the opportunity to ask him any ques- tions they wanted to and Dr. Beach asked how the Germans would pay the | big indemnity imposed upon them if we refused to purchase goods from | that country? Mr. Wile stated that for four years without any outside commercial relations and he knew that they had tons and tons of gold held in reserve and they should be forced to disgorge their good collat- | eral and pay their indemnity out of | trade with contiguous countries who were more or less dependent upon | them, at least until such time as they | proved themselves worthy of commer- | cial relations, and then, Mr. Wile ob- served, he would keep one eye on them all the time. Editor Harter, of the Gazette, asked the speaker if he could tell him just who inspired the League of Nations and Mr. Wile stated that he could not tell positively but it was always cred- ited to President Wilson. “Do you believe it will prevent war?” asked Editor Harter. “No, do you?” said Mr. Wile. “Well,” replied editor Harter, “they said it would.” “Who said it would?” asked the lecturer, and when pressed for a re- ply Mr. Harter said “Col. Spangler.” Of course Mr. Wile had to admit that he had not the pleasure of Col. Spangler’s acquaintance and asked to be enlightened as to who he was and on what authority he had made the statement. On being told that the Colonel was a resident of Bellefonte, an ardent supporter of President Wil- son and just now in California as a member of the Federal Commission | engaged in settling a strike among : the oil men, Mr. Wile stated that while ! he did not believe the League of Na- | tions would end war it would prolong | peace and eventually some good way might be worked out through the me- dium of the League as to make it very imprudent for any two nations to go to war. Mr. Wile’s lecture was just one of the many good things that were given the people of Bellefonte during the one week of Chautauqua which closed on Wednesday night. Every one of the numbers on the program was high-class from the opening afternoon to the closing lecture. In fact, it proved to be the best program pre- sented by any Bellefonte Chautauqua since the opening year, and those peo- ple who failed to attend regularly missed a feast of good things. With such high-class entertainment it was not a difficult matter to get guaran- tors for next year and the following signed up for the return of Chautau- qua during the 1920 season: R. R.

Smith ers, this week received a dozen and a half new Kline & French company, of Philadel- phia, as equipment for their jewelry store when they move into the room in Temple Court where the postoffice is now located, and the nice, new show cases presented anything but a spic and span appearance when they reached Bellefonte. A portion of the in some of them the heavy top glass being shattered to fragments. The cases were also badly scarred and rub- bed so that the damage to the entire shipment is considerable. ——The men who represent the Gaylord International Engineering and Construction company in charge of the construction of the state high- Gap are pushing the work to the limit and are making good progress. While it will be impossible to eliminate all the sharp curves on this stretch of highway and maintain the present good grade, wherever it can be done the curves will be cut down so as to lessen the danger of travel. One such place is out at the old Nittany fur- nace location, now the Titan Metal company property, where the point of the hill will be cut off to a depth of thirty feet. While moving the road- way thirty feet east will not eliminate the curve entirely it will so lengthen it as to reduce the danger of a colli- sion at that point to a minimum. -e — ——Between eleven and twelve o’clock last Friday morning an air- plane sailed over Bellefonte from west to east, flying very high, and did not stop at the aviation field. That being the day the air pilots in the mail serv- ice were all out on a strike there was considerable curiosity and speculation as to who the lone flyer was and his mission. It later developed that it was Capt. Roy N. Francis, in a Mar- tin bomber, who made a non-stop flight from Akron, Ohio, to Hazle- hurst field, Mineola, Long Island. Capt. Francis flew east with the in- tention of starting today on a one- stop flight to the Pacific coast, the one stop to be at Lincoln, Neb., but on Monday afternoon, during a fierce storm lightning struck the hangar in which his Martin bomber was housed and entirely demolished the machine, so that his trip is of necessity post- poned. When Capt. Francis does make the trip he will likely fly over Bellefonte. | ——The various landlords of Centre county who last month took out a li- 'cense for one month on the chance ‘that war-time prohibition would be ——— declared off within the month, are’ still in the same perplexing situation they were at that time. Congress has _ declined to interfere and has decided [to adjourn for a two month’s recess ! tomorrow without settling the prohi- bition question or what per cent. of . beer will make a man drunk. But de- mobilization of the army is moving along rapidly and at the present rate ! will probably be reduced to standing | army figures within the | Whether President Wilson will then "declare demobilization complete and the occasion for war-time prohibition at an end remains to be seen, but the most, if not all of the Centre county landlords are not going to take a | chance on his not doing so, conse- "quently they have taken out licenses for one more month, or until the first of September. ——1In February, 1917, Judge Hen- ry C. Quigley, of Bellefonte, presided ‘over one of the courts in Pittsburgh, "and one of the cases brought before ! , him was a contention over the owner- ship of a cat. Judge Quigley heard a portion of the evidence then quashed | ‘the case on the grounds that there is! ‘no law in Pennsylvania relating to ' cats. Whether he gave the matter another thought is of course not { known, but the decision went into the | State law reports and was quoted by { a Philadelphia alderman last Satur- | day when a case was brought before . { him to settle the ownership of a kit- ten. And such being the case, how does it happen that in all these years | members of the Legislature have | overlooked the fact that there is no ‘law on cats, and the field is surely | fruitful enough to give some active member food for thought, as first is the cat, then the cat’s nine lives, cat- | o’-nine-tails, catsup, and last but by { no means least the inconsiderate, un- | controlable and deucedly detestable | tomcat that generally gets busy just about the time the human family 1s ' trying to go to sleep. ——Frank P.

Much ado was made in the city pa- ‘pers last week about what was char- , acterized as the first strike of the pi- lots who drove the machines on the airmail routes between New York and Washington and New York and Chi- cago, with the result that all airmail : was tied up on Friday. But on Fri- day evening an agreement was made | by Charles I. Stanton, superintendent of the Eastern division aerial mail service with the pilots at the aviation fields in New York, Washington, Bellefonte, Cleveland and Chicago whereby they were to take out their planes as usual, pending a settlement of the trouble in Washington. The characterized strike of the pi- lots was over the discharge of E. Hamilton Lee and Leon Smith, who refused to fly from Belmont field, New York, on the morning of July 22nd, when the field was covered by a dense fog and the visibility was less than one hundred feet. Charles H. Anglin was chosen as the pilot’s rep- resentative to the Washington confer- ence and James C. Furst Esq., of Bellefonte, was selected by the pilots to look after their interest. At the Washington conference, which lasted until Sunday night, the fact was brought out that Lee had not refused to fly on the date specified, but had objected to going up in a Cur- tis R4 machine equipped with a Lib- erty motor; at the same time signify- ing his willingness to start the flight in a Curtis H, which is a slow travel- ing machine and much safer in bad weather. At the conference it was re- vealed that instead of a strike having been called each individual flyer had come to his own conclusion not to fly high compression motors regardless of weather conditions. At the confer- ence the pilots described in detail the difficulties with which they have to . contend to Otto Praeger, second as- sistant postmaster general, and what they considered the severity of the or- ders issued by him requiring the pilot to fly regardless of weather condi- tions. | While the orders of the Department were not changed in form they were | so explained and interpreted by Mr. : Praeger that the pilots are hereafter ' given the authority to delay starting a flight in case they believe it cannot be made with a reasonable degree of safety, and that they have the right of appeal to the field managers locat- ed at each station, who are authorized by the Department to decide the ques- tion; and the pilots feel quite confi- dent that no field manager will order them to begin a flight unless weather conditions are such that he would be willing. to undertake the flight him- self. The pilots say under such cir- cumstances they will be willing to fly these ships even if they die in the at- tempt. The pilots also asked for an increas- ed scale of salary. They have been , hired at $2000 a year with a ten per cent. increase for every thirty hours in the air until they receive $2800, for pilots in class A. Class B pilots, those who through exceptional ability or by reason of perfect records for de- livery of mail in bad weather and the . avoidance of accidents, have been re- ceiving $3600 a year. The pilots ask- ed a minimum salary of $3600 with a reasonable increase for length of service. The conference resulted in the re- instatement of E. Hamilton Lee at his previous salary and an agreement to consider a written application from Leon Smith for his reinstatement, subject, however, to a consideration of matters pertaining to his previous conduct and his actions after his dis- missal by the Department, which vir- tually amounted to an announcement - of his dismissal. The salary question is still under consideration. In the meantime the air mail was resumed last Saturday and has been flying along ever since. State Appropriations of Benefit to Centre County. In the general appropriation bill signed by Governor Sproul last Thursday Centre county will reap the benefit of $20,000 to the Bellefonte hospital; $54,000 to the Cottage State hospital, Philipsburg; $1,781,462 to The Pennsylvania State College, and $1,103,955 to the western penitentiary, although only $500,000 of the peniten- tiary appropriation comes to the in- stitution at Rockview. In addition to the above Centre county now has two state road con- tracts under way for which the bids were $465,042.73, while bids are now being asked for between two and three miles of road in Rush township , and recommendation has been made | for a piece of road in College town- ship. And then the repair work on the various state roads in Centre county also amounts to quite an item. Keller—Dillen.—Jared W. Keller, a son of Mrs. Susan Keller, of Belle- fonte, but who has been working in : Altoona the past few years, and Mrs. Allie Dillen, of that city, were mar- ried on Saturday evening at the par- sonage of the First Baptist church, ! Altoona, by the pastor, Rev. Clayton Grinnell. They will continue to re- side in Altoona. Watson — Gearhart. — William T. Watson, of Milesburg, and Miss Adie Gearhart, of Blue Ball, Clearfield county, were married in Hollidays- burg last Saturday morning.
