——The prohibition enforcement
act puts the bachelors of the country
in bad. It provides that only a mar-
ried man, a head of a family, may
have liquor or wines in his house and
that a bachelor may have none. Sad,
sad for the fellows who haven’t hitch-
ed up vet, but, like Dr. Munyan,
“There is hope!”
— Saturday wasn’t a very good
day for Centre county football teams.

13, the Bellefonte Academy lost te
the Pitt Freshmen 56 to 2 and the
Huntingdon High school team defeat-
ed the Bellefonte High school on

Don’t overlook the fact that
the Scenic offers you entertainment
every evening during the week, not
only one or two evenings, and is
therefore deserving of your patron-
age. The pictures are always the best
that can be obtained and no repeaters
are shown. When you want to see
anything good, go to the Scenic.

dent. The wedding took place at the

ganize the Mountain High school bas-
ket ball league to be composed of
High school teams from Lewistown,
Huntingdon, Mount Union, Philips-
burg, Bellefonte, Altoona, Tyrone,

——On Monday noon G. Wash Rees
brought to this office a small branch
of a red raspberry bush which con-
tained seven well developed ripe ber-
ries and fifteen green omnes of all
sizes, or twenty-two berries in all.
While the number of berries on the
branch would be nothing remarkable
during the regular raspberry season
any berries at this time of year, and
especially ripe ones, are so unusual
that the fact has been freely com-
mented upon by those who have seen
them.

strong fight for election to the city
eouncil in the fourth district of Phil-
adelphia on the charter party ticket,
and if there is anything in the record
behind the man influencing votes in
his favor Mr. Garman should be an
easy winner. He has served eight

cil, two years of which he has been on
the finance committee, and has always
been foremost in every movement
that was for the good of his district
and the city at large.

tain the physical condition and valua-
tion of the property. In doing this

What the Borough Dads Did on Mon-
day Night.
The customary six members were
present at the regular meeting of
council on Monday evening. John
Martin and Nich Gianfelice, of north
Allegheny street, were present and
asked council to take some action rel-
ative to improving the walk along
the Linn property, north of the Bea-
ver property on Allegheny street.
The matter was referred to the Street
committee for prompt investigation
and report at next meeting.
The Street committee presented the
report of the borough manager which
showed various repairs around town
and also the collection of $132.00 from
the Gaylord International Engineer-
ing and Construction company for
rent of road roller and ten dollars
from Edwin F. Garman for private
street work. The Water committee’s
report of the borough manager’s ac-
tivities in that department included
the collection of $9.50 for work done.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported a fire in the Brown property
on east Howard street on October
13th, but no especial damage done.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of a note of $630 for six
months from October 7th, one for
$400 for six months from October
8th, and one for $700 for six months
from October 15th, all of which were
authorized.
The Special committee reported
progress in the settlement with the
State-Centre Electric company.
Mr. Flack, of the Fire and Police
committee, recommended that the bor-
ough purchase a fully equipped chem-
ical motor truck for each of the fire
companies. Various members of
council expressed their approval of
the recommendation and on motion
the committee was instructed to get
in communication with different man-
ufacturers regarding quality and
prices of trucks and report at next
meeting.
The Special committez reported a
recommendation that a minimum ren-
tal of $1,500 a year be placed upon
the Phoenix mill property and the
present occupant is to be given
preference in the matter of executing
an agreement at that figure.
Borough solicitor J. Thomas Mitch-
ell presented a detailed schedule of
payments to be made on the Phoenix
mill property, recently taken over for
the borough by action of council, (
which provides for the payment of
$800 on the first of September and
$1200 on the first of March for a
period of twenty-one years. The
schedule has the approval of Col
Reynolds and a resolution passed
council adopting the same, every
member voting aye.
Mr. Mitchell also presented a sched-
vle of the assessments made against
the various property owners on south
Water and Willowbank streets as their
portion of the expense of building the
state highway along said thorough-
fares. The list totals approximately
$8,000, and it was referred to the
Street committee and borough solic-
itor for collection.
There being no other business be-
fore council bills to the amount of
$796.18 were approved and council
adjourned. rod

pa Phi, is fostering the movement

“Cheer Up Mabel” a Laugh Tenic.
If a good laugh is a tonic, why not
go and see “Cheer Up Mabel,” which
comes to Garman’s theatre next
Tuesday, October 28th, and you won't
buy another bottle of medicine for a
year, as the many humorous plots, as
well as the haunting melodies, will
keep you supplied at least that long.
It is so constructed that the world
would be certain to capitulate to this
irresistible attraction. It is built for
laughing purposes and played laugh-
ingly to laughter for an audience.

— Harry Murtoff has been elected
treasurer of the Methodist church of
Bellefonte, a position held by J. P.
Smith for fourteen years. Mr. Smith's |
health made it imperative that he
give up some of his work.
Some of the young ladies of
Bellefonte are planning a subscrip-
tion dance for Hallowe’en. It will
be held in the Arcade Thursday night,
October 30th, and Wright's orchestra,
from State College, will furnish the

— The office force of the “Watch-
man” is indebted to our friend,
George H. Musser, of Boggs town-
ship, for the donation of four nice
pumpkins and the only reason we
don’t say more about it here is be-
cause our mouth is already so watery
over the thought of pumpkin pie that
we can’t express ourselves as we
would like to do.
— Leslie Pickering, alias Leslie
Johnson, escaped from the western
penitentiary last Friday morning,
making his get-away from a crew of
men gathering beans and cabbage.
But he was very polite about it, as he
said good bye to the guard who tried
to stop him with several shots but
failed to do so. Pickering is only
seventeen years of age and was sent
up from Greene county.
The hunting season opened on
Monday, so far as small game is con-
cerned, but up to the time this article
was written yesterday very little of it
has been brought into Bellefonte and
so far as could be learned very little
game has been killed, although quite
a number of pheasants were seen by
the scores of hunters who roamed the
woodlands and mountains of Centre
county on the opening day of the
season. :

Woman’s club will be held in the di-
rector’s room in the High school
building, Monday, October 27th, at
7:30 p. m. The program will be giv-
en over to the subject of “County Of-
feials,” how they are elected, how
jong the term of office, the duties of
the incumbent, salaries, etc.” The
speaker will answer all questions on
the subject. This talk should be of
interest to women, in view of the fact
that they will soon become voters.
Each member of the club is requested
to bring a friend.
— On page two of this issue of
the “Watchman” is published a very
explicit article on war risk insurance
and compensation which is of especial
interest to ex-service men. A bill now
before Congress, and which is almost
sure to be enacted into a law, trebles
the compensation ex-service men will
be allowed for either partial or total
disability under war risk insurance.
The “Watchman” has always strenu-
ously advised ex-soldiers to keep their
war risk insurance good, but we know
that many of the boys have allowed
theirs to lapse because they failed to
get jobs on their return home which
would enable them to pay the monthly
premium. The article on page two
tells how all such young men can have
their insurance re-instated and the
terms offered by the government are
extremely liberal. Therefore, we
again advise all ex-soldiers to read
the article, as we know it will inter-
est you, because it may mean dollars
and cents in your pocket.
Broken Blossoms.
Of extraordinary interest, not only
to lovers of the motion picture, but
likewise to all who appreciate the
highest in art in its various manifes-
‘tations, is the announcement of the
Pastime theatre, State:College, in pre-
senting David Wark Griffith’s superb
sereen creation, “Broken Blossoms,”
to be shown October 30th and 31st.
Never has a motion picture been
accorded a reception comparable fo
the triumph that has followed every
showing of this production. Newspa-
pers have devoted column after col-
umn to its beauties and wonders, its
success has been instantaneous. The
story was adapted from a tale by
Thomas Burke, and around it Mr.
Griffith has built the most alluring,
vet pitiful, beautiful, yet tragic love
story ever filmed.
A special symphony orchestra ac-
companies the film from Pittsburgh
and the theatre will be attired in
keeping with the theme of the story,
so that this should be the crowning
event in the splendid film precenta-
tions that have been enjoyed at this
theatre.
All tickets are to be reserved, the
advance sale of which starts Satur.
day.

Feeding Contest.
A pure-bred pig club for boys and
girls was organized last spring in the
vicinity of Stormstown by the Centre
county Farm Bureau. Young, pure-
bred registered gilts were brought
in and distributed by lot among the
girls and boys who wished to enter
the contest. Seven Duroc Jerseys
and seven Berkshires made up the
group of pigs brought in for the club.
During the past summer these pigs
were fed by the various contestants
to see which one could grow out the
best pig and put on the largest gain
per day. On Saturday these pigs
were all rounded up, weighed, judged
and prizes awarded to the winners as
follows:
Duroc Club—Winifred Wilson, 1st;
Martha Beck 2nd; George Ellenber-
ger 3rd; Eugene Ellenberger 4th;
William Bickle 5th; John Stuart 6th.
Berkshire Club—Herbert Way 1st;
Robert Way 2nd; Joseph Ebbs 3rd;
S. P. Gray 4th; Jesse Gray 5th.
Sweepstakes prize for both clubs
consisted of a pure-bred Berkshire
gilt and was won by Winifred Wil-
son. The other prizes consisted of
agricultural books and magazines
which were donated by the First Na-
tional bank of State College, and the
First National bank of Philipsburg.
These gilts will all be bred for
spring litters and should go a long
ways toward establishing good foun-
dation stock for that community.
Grand Opera for Altoona.
A great musical treat is in store
| for those who will journey to Altoona,
on Saturday, November 1st. For on
that evening will be presented at the
Mishler theatre, the world’s greatest
baritone, Antonio Scotti, with the
Scotti Grand Opera company of one
hundred people, from the Metropoli-
tan opera house, New York city, with
a grand opera orchestra of eminent
instrumentalists from the Metropoli-
tan opera house.
The company will present Leoni’s
sensational novelty, “L’Oracolo” with
Mr. Scotti as Chim-Fang, his master-
piece of operatic characterizations,
and Mascagni’s melodious “Cavalleria
Rusticana” as a double bill.
Mail orders for reservations can be
made to the Mishler theatre, Altoona.
This is the first time that it has ever
been attempted to bring an organiza-
tion of this magnitude to any city of
the size of Altoona. And it is a dis-
tinctive treat to the people of this en-
tire section of the State that Mr.
Mishler takes the risk of giving a tre-
mendous guarantee so that Metropol-
itan opera by eminent stars may be
presented without the journey to the
Metropolitan opera house, New York
city.
Among the notable voices, other
than that of Scotti, to be heard with
this company will be those of Flor-
ence Easton, Marie Sundelins, Fran-
cesca Peralta, Carlo Peroni, Francis
Maclennan, Millo Pico, Mary Kent,
Orville Harold, Jeanne Gordon and
many other grand opera stars.

does not hesitate to ask for purch-
asers. A later notice will give date

i —John B. Wert, of Tusseyville, was in
town on Wednesday evening, and during
a little chat about how motors have wip-
ed out distance and made it possible for
people living in the remote parts of the
county to get to Bellefonte and home
again in a few hours; whereas it once was
a day's journey to come to the county
seat, Mr. Wert reminisced a bit about a
driving mare he owned a few years ago.
He said she was the best roadster he ever
sat behind and that often, with fair roads
he had driven from Tusseyville here in an
hour and a half or two hours, without
urging her a bit. With many hills and a
| mountain to come over we fancy that Mr.
Werts’ hay motor was some horse.
