‘when you are considering a good place
to get an evening’s entertainment
you cannof go wrong by attending the
Scenic. Thé motion pictures shown
there will interest and entertain you,

A. A. Dale and Ivan Walker
Esqs., assisted the County Commis-
sioners in computing the vote cast at
the primaries last week. They began
the count at nocn last Friday and
completed it on Wednesday. There
are so few variations in the official
count from the complete totals as
published in the “Watchman” last
week that the results as announced
are not affected in any way.
——Miss Maude Johnston, who had
engaged to teach school in Curwens-
ville the current school term, secured
her: release from the school board of
that town and has accepted a school
in Pittsburgh at a very flattering in-
crease in salary. The Pittsburgh
school in which she will teach is lo-
cated very close to the home of her
brother, Collins Johnston Jr., which
‘will enable her to make her home with
him.
Governor Sproul last week is-
sued respites staying the electrocu-
tion of three convicted men so that
their cases can be taken before the
board of pardons at its October sit-
ting. The men are William Evans,
of Dauphin county, and Lewis Page,
of Fayette, who were respited from
the week of September 29th to the
week of October 27th, and Robert
Loomis, of Northampton county, from
‘the week of October 13th to the week
of November 24th.
——The Secretary of the Treasury
on Monday issued a statement cau-
tioning the public to beware of a
twenty dollar counterfeit bill now in
circulation. It is a very good coun-
terfeit, save for the fact that the
border of the bill and the background
of Cleveland’s picture are almost sol-
id black, instead of showing fine lines,
and the serial number is printed in
black instead of blue. At the present
writing we haven’t any of them
among our colection.
-—W. J. Emerick, who returned
last week from his three month’s trip
to the Pacific coast, did something
this week that very few employers
are guilty of. One of the first things
he did after returning home was to go
over his books and see how the ac-
counts stood. Finding that every-
thing had been conducted as business-
like during his absence as while he is
at home he generously presented each
one of his eight employees with a fif-
ty dollar Liberty bond.
——The “Watchman® last week
carried an item detailing the fact that
the Rev. Paul Perigord had been kill-
ed in an automobile accident at Hu-
go, Minn., but it now appears that it
was his brother, Rev. Jules Perigord,
who was the victim. Rev. Paul Peri-
gord is still alive and well and at
present located at the Thropp Uni-
versity, Pasadena, California. While
it is unfortunate that his brother
should meet such an untimely end
Centre countys friends of Rev. Paul
Perigord will rejoice to know that he
is still in the land of the living.
——The Lititz, Lancaster county,
Record last week entered upon its
forty-third year, and for a weekly
paper published in a town the size of
Lititz, it is one of the best that comes
to the desk of the “Watchman” ed-
itors. It is carefully and conscien-
tiously edited throughout, always
presents a neat and painstaking typo-
graphical appearance, and is filled
with interesting local news of that
section as well as various features
that cannot help but appeal to its
readers. We wish the Record many
more years of success in serving the
community in which it is published.
RADIO STATION LOCATED.
Will Stand on Old Nittany Valley
| Railroad South of Bellefonte
i Aviation Field.
|
The location of the big radio sta-
| tion to be erected in connection with
the Bellefonte aviation field as a
guide to flyers on the New York-
Chicago air mail route was definitely
! settled last Saturday when the plant
i was staked out on the right-of-way
of the old Nittany Valley railroad,
less than half a mile south of the avi-
ation field. Definite orders to locate
the plant in Bellefonte were received
from the airmail branch of the Post-
office Department at Washington on
Friday afternoon by superintendent
Blakesley, of the aviation field.
Acting upon the instructions receiv-
ed Mr. Blakesley and contractor
George Rhoads, who has the contract
for the concrete work of the plant,
i staked out the foundations on Satur-
day morning. It was the intention to
begin work en Monday morning but
rain interfered but ground was brok-
en on Tuesday morning and the con-
struction of the plant will be rushed
to completion as fast as possible. All
the concrete work for the foundations
of the steel poles will be put down by
Rhoads & Son while Gehret & Lam-
bert will erect the buildings.
The original plans for the plant
here provided for two poles 200 feet
in height set 150 feet apart, but those
plans have been changed and the most
modern system known will now be in-
stalled. It is known as the loop sys-
tem, and requires poles only forty
feet in height. The poles are to be
furnished by the Pole and Tube com-
pany, of Newark, N. J., and all the in-
struments and equipment by Emil A.
Simon, of New York city. Mi. Israel,
representing Myr. Simon, arrived in
Bellefonte on Monday and a good part
of the equipment is already here.
The system to be installed will have
a radius of hundreds of miles and
will combine both wireless telephone
and telegraphy. With its use, it is
aileged, aviators hundreds of feet in
the air are able to communicate with
submarines when submersed at a con-
siderable depth, and will afford am-
ple means of communication with air-
planes when aviators become lost in a
fog or low, overhanging clouds. The
fact that work has now been begun
on the station in this place will prob-
ably settle for good all doubts as to
its location.
INTERESTING AVIATION NEWS.
Last Friday morning aviator Ellis
left Bellefonte with over three hun-
dred pounds of mail for Cleveland and
when he reached DuBois he was com-
pelled to come down owing to motor
trouble. The Bellefonte field was no-
tified and pilot Lewis left here with
mechanician- Crider in another plane
fori that town but were caught in a
storm’ and forced down-at Marion
Centre, landing in a peach orchard
ahd puncturing a tire. They went to
DuBois by ‘automobile, the trouble
with Ellis’ motor was disposed of and
he completed the trip to Cleveland.
Lewis and Crider returned to Belle-
fonte and pilot Krader and Earl Kline
went out to Marion Centre, put a new
tire on the machine left there, and
brought it to Bellefonte Saturday
evening.
Pilot David Logg made his last
flight on Tuesday, he having quit the
service to go to college in Chicago
and complete his course that he gave
up to enter the service. It is also ru-
mored that pilot Charles Anglin will
quit the service in the near future.
COMMERCIAL FLYER WILL VISIT
BELLEFONTE.
An announcement was sent out
from New York on Monday that Mer-
rill K. Riddick, the twenty-four year
old “super pilot” of the U. S. airmail
service who resigned last Saturday to
enter the commercial aviation field,
has gone to Toronto to secure a new
plane for the Adams Aerial Transpor-
tation company with which he will be
affiliated. He expected to leave Tor-
onto Wednesday or yesterday and will
return to New York in a round-about
flight for the purpose of studying the
possibilities of landing fields in various
cities and towns as well as the out-
look for commercial business in the
air. Pilot Riddick’s route will be
from Toronto to Buffalo, and as far
west as Youngstown, Ohio, -thence
east through Pennsylvania, stopping
among other places at Altoona, Belle-
fonte, Lock Haven and Williamsport.
He should reach Bellefonte the latter
part of this week or beginning of
next.
PILOT KRADER WENT UP 11,000 FEET
- IN 15 MINUTES.
Just at noontime on Wednesday
pilot Krader took one of the standard
| DH planes up in the air to test it out
and as it was working fine decided to
make a test flight for altitude, in the
belief that he could go up fifteen
thousand feet in fifteen minutes. He
failed in doing so but he did attain
an altitude of 11,000 feet in that
length of time, which was just a little
over two miles up in the air. There
was not a cloud in the sky at the time
and though his machine was plainly
visible at all times, it looked pretty
small when sailing around in space
over two miles above the earth.
ARMY PLANE PHOTOGRAPHERS VIS-
IT STATE COLLEGE.
Residents of State College were
very much wrought up last Saturday
when a telegram arrived in that place
detailing the fact that two army
planes would visit the town within the
week on an inspection trip, or some-
thing of the kind, and some of the
people naturally jumped to the con-
clusion that the aerial mail aviation
field was to be moved there.
On Wednesday afternoon two
planes reached Centre county but
came to earth several miles west of
State College. They are part of a
unit of the army areo photographic
——
{ section and had been at Johnstown
taking pictures of the big celebration
there. Four planes left Johnstown
but only two reached the vicinity of
State College. Yesterday morning
one of the pilots came to Bellefonte
to get some spark plugs and a few
other things at the aviation field and
he stated that as soon as they got fix-
ed up they would leave for Washing-
ton without undertaking to do any
photographic work, and that will
probably be this morning.
nd
Bellefonte Boy’s Interesting Work
Among Aeroplanes.
Anything with a flavor of aeronaut-
ics has a peculiar interest for the peo-
ple of Bellefonte and Centre county
these days, because of the fact that
Bellefonte is “on the map” as one of
the prominent fields on the New
York-Chicago airmail route, and for
almost a month now has been an air-
drome from which those desiring to
try their nerve as high flyers can do
so at the rate of a dollar a minute,
hence the “Watchman” is constrained
to publish the following letter from
Phil J. Gross, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Jacob Gross, of Bellefonte, who is
now in the employ of the Glenn L.
Martin Co., at Cleveland, Ohio. Un-
der date of September 20 Mr. Gross
writes:
“Would you kindly note the address
given above and send my paper there
instead of my old address, as I have
moved and the paper comes very ir-
regularly, due to the double handling
by the postoffice; you know, it’s a ca-
lamity to miss the good old home
town paper,—just once!
The aviation news always interests
me, and my great hope is to see Belle-
fonte come into its own through this
wonderful new development.
Our company builds a twin-motored
machine of seventy-two feet wing
spread, and a forty-six foot fuselage.
By re-designing the fuselage but
keeping the same principle and centre
of gravity, without altering the wings
or tail surfaces, we have made a gun
machine, bomber, cannon machine,
trans-continental, twelve passenger,
and a mail plane, which may be used
on the New York-Chicago route. We
now have in prospect a machine car-
rying a thousand pound torpedo above
the landing gear. It swoops down,
releases the torpedo, and makes a
get-away; the torpedo goes straight,
under its own power, and does the
rest.
It has been my fortune to be in the
experimental engineering department
of this company since the designing
of the first ’plane.
Our field is larger than the one at
Woodland Hills, and I have seen
many notable sights on it. My curi-
osity has always been satisfied when
a stranger arrives, as an employee is
allowed to go in and inspect a new
ship to his heart’s content. The Law-
son air liner was here a few weeks
ago, and I found it just as wonderful
as the press claims it to be. ‘ The
“Round the Rim” flyer, a three mo-
tored Caproni, a Voght. piloted by
Major Schroeder, a Handley-Page,
the Aerial Circus, consisting of allied
and German ’planes, and about every
standard make of American and
some foreign ’planes, have landed on
our field within the past year. Pass-
ing planes often stop, and “fuel up,”
then go on their way, or a stranger
will fly close and satisfy his curiosity,
then go without revealing his iden-
tity.
An aviator likes a big field, and
good,—every inch. Bellefonte has a
natural field of unlimited size. It al-
ready holds a prominent position
among the fields in the country. If
its people only boost, now—you have
a “cinch” for something good, soon.
Yours respectfully,
PHIL J. GROSS.

Academy Football Schedule.
Headmaster James R. Hughes, of
the Bellefonte Academy, has announc-
ed the Academy football schedule for
the season as follows:
Oct. 4—Game Pending for Hughes Field.
Oct. 11—Syracuse Fresh at Syracuse N.Y.
Oct. 18—Pitt Freshmen at Pittsburgh.
Oct. 25—Bucknell Freshmen at Hughes

Nov. 8—Pending.
Nov. 15—Mansfield Normal at Hughes
Field.
Nov. 22—Dickinson Seminary at Hughes
Field.
Nov. 27—(Thanksgiving game pending).
In this connection it might be said
that the outlook for a winning team
at the Academy was never better
than this year. Among the more
than one hundred students are ath-
letes from Michigan, Illinois, New
York, West Virginia, Ohio, New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania; and quite a
number of them were stars on their
home High school teams. They are
now hard at work practicing for the
opening contest which will be one
week from tomorrow, and football
fans in Bellefonte may expect to see
some good sport this fall. Make your
decision now to attend every home
game and give the local team the sup-
port it deserves.

BIG TIME AT SANDY RIDGE.
Rush Township Citizens Honor Re- |
turned Soldiers.
A beautiful monument commemo-
rating the heroic services of the
world war was unveiled on the school
house grounds at Sandy Ridge on
Saturday in the presence of a large
gathering of people, including a very
liberal representation of boys who
wore the khaki. F. I. Gill was chief
marshall of the parade which took
place at ten o’clock. In the line were
Our Girls band, of Milesburg, mem-
bers of the G. A. R. in automobiles,
P. 0. S. of A. camp No. 276, school
children led by Prof. A. C. Weaver, a
large delegation of the Red Cross in
charge of Miss Emma Briggs, and a
good-sized squad of ex-service men
commanded by Sergt. D. W. Woodle.
The parade marched from Sandy
Ridge to Retort where it halted long
enough to permit the young soldiers
to give an exhibition drill on the
school house grounds, then counter-
marched to the school house at San-
dy Ridge where a reviewing stand
had been erected close to the monu-
ment.
Rev. Cobb was master of ceremo-
nies and invoked the Divine blessing
upon the assembled multitude. This
was followed with a patriotic song by
the school children and then came the
unveiling of the monument while the
band played “The Star Spangled Ban-
ner.” The monument is a bronze tab-
let on which are the names of the sol-
dier boys, mourlted on a base of white
brick. It is the gift of citizens of
Sandy Ridge and Retort, as well as
others in Rush township. Following
the unveiling very appropriate ad-
dresses were made by burgess W.
Harrison Walker and Col. H. S. Tay-
lor, of Bellefonte. The names of the
Rush township soldiers inscribed up-
on the monument are as follows, those
marked with a (*) having given their
lives for the cause:
Jay W. Reese
Wilmer N. Hoover
John L. Spitler
William Robenolt
Guy Stevens
Jacob C. Cassidy
Jesse Cowher
Ashley C. Woodle
Gilenn V. Hoover
Wm. R. Cartwright

At the conclusion of the speech-
making the crowd present partook of
a picnic dinner and the afternoon was
devoted to athletic events. A base-
ball game between the Sandy Ridge
team and All Stars of Philipsburg
was won by the latter by the score of
7 to 2. The potato race was won by
John Bryan, of Milesburg, who receiv-
ed a prize of 50 cents. Earl Moore
also got 50 cents for winning the egg
race. In the boys race the first prize
of 50 cents was won by Charles Re-
sides, second prize of 25 cents by Wil-
liam Flack and third prize of 25 cents
by Gray Price. The sack race win-
ners were Lee Corrigan, Frank Rich-
ards and Daniel Marin, in one, two,
three order. Annie Owens won the
girls’ race, and Matthew Reese and
James Flick broke even in the old
men’s race. The greased pig was
caught in one minute by Billy Flick,
so it can be seen that Saturday was a
big day at Sandy Ridge.

A Delightful Gathering at Graysville
Church.
Saturday, September 20th, brought
together the people of Spruce Creek
‘valley in a most enjoyable out-of-
doors affair held at the old stone
church at Graysville. The women of
the Presbyterian church had for some
time planned a dinner for their men
folks and soldier boys; and so under
the coloring maples the tables were
spread with snowy cloths and bril-
liant flowers; and the plates of fried
chicken and bowls of steaming noo-
dles and pyramids of cake fed a hun-
dred at the first sitting. The second
table, numbering some thirty ladies,
were so happy over duties well per-
formed that they broke forth occa-
sionally into song which was real
{ melody; the aged pastor coming in
for a share of their approbation.
Mr. “Bob” Goheen proposed a vote
of thanks to the ladies, which they re-
ceived with becoming modesty (?).
A suit-case race, three legged
races, fat women’s races and mens’
races kept everybody laughing for a
season and a ball game took place in
Oliver's meadow, with Dan Irvin as
umpire.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Weiland, of
Linden Hall; Mr .and Mrs. Frank
McFarlane, of Boalsburg, and Mr. and
Miss Wigton, of Harrisburg, were
welcomed as old friends. The kind-
liest feeling shone forth from all
countenances and the community will
be the better for this time of neigh-
borly concourse.
