Many a family went without
their customary turkey on their
Thanksgiving dinner table yesterday, |
not because the turkeys were not to
be bad or that they didn’t have the
money to pay for them, but simply!
because they would not pay the exor-
bitant and unreasonable price de-
manded. If everybody would refuse
to pay big prices for the luxuries of
life it would have a lot to do with
bringing the prices of the actual ne-
cessities within reason. :
—~——ZReal country sausage, made
out of all pork, was sold in Bellefonte |
yesterday at 25 cents the pound. And
thai recalls the fact that only about
a week ago a certain farmer living
not many miles from Bellefonte had a
hog for sale and the best price he was
offered by Bellefonte butchers was
$2500. He killed the animal at.
home, brought it to Bellefonte and
sold the meat to private parties at
about three-fourths the price charg-
ed by local meat markets, and the hog
thus netted him almost fifty dollars.
——Mr. and Mrs. John N. Lane and
family have been living all week in
anticipation of a luscious turkey din-
ner which they expected to eat yes-
terday from a thirteen pound, milk-
fed turkey that their son was sending
from Baltimore. The turkey was
started from the Monumental city by
parcel post, but up to noontime yes-
ierday the bird had failed to arrive
and the only misgiving now is that
when it does come it may be a little
too weil seasoned for any use. Send-
ing dressed turkeys by parcel post
may be all right for short distances,
but it is rather uncertain with a long
way to go.

{and hear him talk and not one of the
, number regretted having taken the
trip. Mr. Taft is not as heavy as he
‘was when he filled the presidential
chair and really looked younger than
most of his auditors expected to see,
but he is possessed of such a pleasing
personality and charm of manner that
he naturally attracts his audience
from the moment he appears upon the
| platform.
| He talked for one hour and three
"quarters and his discourse through-
out was couched in such simple, plain
English, that any school boy could
understand him. Mr. Taft is for the
adoption of the League of Nations as
written, and he made that very plain
in his talk, but if the Senate insists on
adopting the League with reserva-
tions he advises that course in prefer-
ence to complete rejection. In his
'
i
{
i
1
talk Mr. Taft said:
“Europe needs and wants American
products, but now their money cannot
buy them. What is needed is some
immediate action and a definite un-
derstanding as to peace terms,” he
said. “I feel that the people have be-
come tired of waiting and there are
too many developments that are be-
ing delayed through inability to get
back to a true peace basis for them to
allow this matter to drag much long-
er.”
“You have heard some talk to the
effect that the League of Nations may ©
be held over to be used as a Presiden-
tial campaign issue. I sincerely trust
this will not happen. There
should be action before that time and
the supporters of the League will do
would be most undesirable.
“It is an established fact that the
majority eof the Senate now stand
back of the league pact. I trust that
Senators now at their homes will find
| the people restless and chafing under in time for the game.
!the delay. They will see that the best
interests of the country are being
handicapped. French, English and
German money cxchange rates are
now lower than ever and they cannot
hope to patronize American markets.”
Mr. Taft concluded by declaring that
he stood for the adoption of the
League cf Nations with or withou?
reservations because either way, he
said, it would be the greatest boon to
mankind cver known.
Mr. Taf: motored to the College
from Tyrone on Saturday afternoon
and was greeted by the entire student
body and the cadet band. He was re-
ceived and entertained by Dr. Sparks,
who returned to the College especially
for the occasion and who introduced
the speaker to his large audience in
the auditorium in the evening. At
the conclusion of his lecture the
Acacia club of State College enter-
tained the distinguished visitor and
later he motored to Lewistown to
catch a midnight train cast. The ap-
pearance of Mr. Taft at the College
was part of a plan of tHe Phi Kappa
Phi honorary society to do some con-
structive work in its name.
Some of Those Who Are Til.
Mrs. Harriet T. Kurtz, who has
been ill in Florida during the greater
part of the past year, has been taken
to the hospital in Daytona, where her
condition is but little improved.
Jacob Gross has been obliged to
give up his business for the present, '
owing to his health, never having re-
covered entirely from his severe at-
tack of influenza last winter.
The condition of William W. Wad- |
dle, proprietor of the Brant house, |
which was considered serious during |
the week, is slightly improved.
Mrs. William O’Brien is ill with |
diphtheria, at the home of her par- |
ents, Mr. and Mrs. George M. Gam- |
ble, on Linn street. !
Word was received in Bellefonte the
latter part of last week that Wilbur
Malin was quite seriously ill at the
Cresson sanitarium, where he has
been the past two months or longer
for the benefit of his health. While
he had quite a serious time for a few
days he is now much improved and in
no immediate danger.
Real ‘Estate Changes.

office of the McVey Real Estate com-
pany to Miss Marie Doll, of this
place. The property is a very desira-
ble one and Miss Doll is to be con-
gratulated upon securing such a nice
home.
The same company has sold the
Sensor farm located a mile north of
Unionville to Mrs. Walter Esterline,
of Juniata, Pa. The McVey company
has offices in Altoona, Johnstown and
Mt. Union, and it was due to the in-
creasing demand for farms in Centre
county through the home office in Al-
toona that the Bellefonte branch was
established. }

whereabouts of the kitty will greatly
relieve the distress of the little girl if
, they will leave her know. The kitten,
by the way, answers to the name of
“Mickey.”

‘Saturday on the charge of having un-
duly punished one of her pupils, Paul
Barto, son of Mrs. Maggie Barto.
' After hearing the evidence ’Squire
Woodring dismissed the case on the
grounds that the teacher had only
done her duty, and expressed regret
at being unable to put the costs on

however, were put on the county.

The special train which convey-
d the Penn State football team, the
cadet band and admiring students to
Pittsburgh on Wednesday for the big
State-Pitt game yesterday was made
up of two Pullmans and five coaches,
and while it was comfortably filled it
their best to get it. Such a delay wasn’t crowded. The train was run

——Shortly before eight o’clock on
Wednesday morning the burner onan
, oil stove in the kitchen of the Pear}
sisters’ apartments in Crider’s Ex-
change exploded while the ladies were
in the act of preparing their break-
fast. In the hope of smothering the
flames one of the women threw a rug
over them but the rug caught fire and
a call for help was at once made. An
alarm was immediately turned in and
| the first two men on the scene grab-
bed one of the fite extinguishers hang-
ing in the hall of the Exchange and
succeeded in extinguishing the flames.
Both fire companies were on hand in
a few minutes and had lines of hose
strung to the third floor of the build-
ing but it wasn’t necessary to turn on
the water.
-——Work on the state road be-
tween Bellefonte and Pleasant Gap
has been stopped until next spring,
much to the regret of the traveling
public in general. But it was no fault
of the contractors, the Gaylord Inter-
national Engineering and Construc-
tion company, that the road was not
more nearly completed, but because
of the unusual amount of wet weather
that has prevailed this fall. As itis,
the road has been concreted to a point
at the Stewart home beyond Axe
Mann. A portion of the road along
about the D. M. Kline farm will be
banked and rolled and the entire road
to Pleasant Gap put in condition for
travel during the winter. This will do
away with the detours until work is
resumed next spring.
——There were just six justices of
the peace elected at the election on
November 4th and under the law men
who have been elected to this office
must notify the Prothonotary of the
county within thirty days after the
election, otherwise the office will be
declared vacant and the Governor
will. make an appointment. December
4th will be the last day on which such
notices can be filed with the Prothon-
otary. Of course it is only natural to
suppose that the six men who were
elected will all lift their commissions,
else they would not have been candi-
dates, but according to ore of the jus-
. tices in Bellefonte the office has not
been nearly so remunerative since the
first of last July as it was prior to
that date. In fact he avers that his
' receipts have been cut almost in half.

——It certainly was not fair and
dience that saw “Fair and Warmer”
at Garman’s Monday evening had no
thought of the weather outside. In
their presentation of this very laugh-
able and pleasing comedy Spaeth &
Co. have made a decided hit and made
no mistake when they selected Ruth
Allen to play the leading part.
The story twines around a neglected
husband and a forgotten wife who, to
get even with their thoughtless life
partners, decide to engage in a little
mild flirtation of their own, only to
find that it is much easier to get mix-
ed up in such an affair than it is to
get out, and their endeavors to extri-
cate themselves create many complex
and amusing situations. “Fair and
Warmer” is the kind of a play that
affords many a good laugh and
though it was given to a good house
on Monday night a return date in
Bellefonte would warrant capacity
business.
Barber—Dale.—The weddng of Rev.
' charge of the Presbyterian church,
'and Miss Mary Dale, third daughter
jof Mrs. Cornelius Dale, of College
township, attracted a large crowd to
| the Presbyterian church at Lemont on
| Wednesday afternoon to witness the
‘happy event. The church was artis-
| tically decorated with ferns and fall
flowers. The ceremony, which took
i place at 2:15 o’clock, was performed
{ by Dr. W. K. McKinney, of Bellefonte,
. assisted by Rev. Samuel Martin, of
State College.
The bride, who wore a gown of
. white crepe de chine with a tulle veil,
was given in marriage by her broth-
er-in-law, Mr. E. P. Lingle, of Pit-
cairn. She was attended by her sis-
ter, Miss Cornelia Dale, as maid of
honor, who wore a gown of white
crepe de chine trimmed with lace, and
a black lace hat. Rev. Ernest Jan-
‘vier, of Philadelphia, was best man
and the ushers, Harold Bottorf and
Walter Lingle, nephews of the bride,
and Hutchinson Mitchell. The wed-
ding march was played by Mrs. R.
Russell Blair, accompanied on the vi-
olin by Mrs. Louis Schad, both of
Bellefonte. A reception in the church
: followed the ceremony.
i The bride is a member of one of
College township’s oldest families and
is well known and admired in that
community. She is a niece of the late
Dr. J. Y. Dale and also of the late
Joseph Furey, for a number of years
local editor of the “Democratic
Watchman.” She has been a great
church worker and has been organist
in the Lemont church a number of
years. The bridegroom is a young
divine of great promise. He has fill-
cd the Lemont charge the past sever-
al years but recently resigned to ac-
; cept a call to the Mill Hall and Beech
i Creek charge, to which place he ex-
pects to go about the middle
cember.
Among the guests present
wedding were Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Lin-
gle, of Pitcairn; Mrs. Grace Furey
McMurtrie, of Altoona; Mrs. Abram
Weber and daughter, Miss Edith, and
Mrs. Walter Jenkins, of Howard; Mrs.
J. Y. Dale, Mrs. David Dale and
daughter Anne, Miss Elizabeth Long-
well, Mr. and Mrs. R. Russell Blair
and Mrs. Louis Schad, of Bellefonte.

| Deer Season Will Open Next Monday.
Next Monday, December first, will
| mark the opening of the deer season
and there is no gainsaying the fact
that no other kind of game in Penn-
sylvania brings to the heart of man
the call to the wild as a chase after
these fleet-footed denizens of the for-
est. Deer hunting nowadays is a real
sport in which the wits of man are
pitted against the cunning of one of
the most wily beasts in the forest.
And it is a safe guess that by the time
this issue of the “Watchman” reach-
es its readers scores of hunting par-
ties will be on their way into the
mountains to go into camp at their fa-
vorite spot so as to be on hand bright
and early Monday morning when the
season opens. Just what luck will at-
tend the hunters this year remains to
be seen. Last year a few hunting
parties got their limit during the first
week of the season and were obliged
to return home, but the majority of
the hunters stayed in the woods the
full two weeks.
Last year in the neighborhood of
one hundred and forty bucks were
killed within the boundaries of Cen-
tre county, and one would naturally
think such slaughter of male deer
cannot go on forever and the game
remain plentiful. But deer migrate
‘and bucks come into Pennsylvania
from the Adirondacks in New York
and the Blue Ridge mountains in
West Virginia. Then, with does as
plentiful as they are in the moun-
‘ tains, the natural increase will mean
ia good many bucks yearly. But why
| speculate on where they come from.
As long as they are to be found in the
mountains the hunters are satisfied
and happy, and according to reports
from woodsmen they are quite plen-
tiful this year.

Another Garage for Bellefonte.
Bellefonte now has five or six large
' garages as well as a number of small
‘ ones, but another is to be added to the
list in the near future. This week a
i number of Bellefonte gentlemen or-
| ganized the Krader Motor company
rand purchased from Gehret & Lam-
: bert the Curtin building on the corner
of Allegheny and Howard streets as
| the location for a garage and sales-
| room. Application for a charter will
be made within a few days. The men
interested in the new enterprise are
M. R. Krader, Frank Crawford,
Charles F. Mensch, W. D. Zerby, Har-
ry Clevenstine, as well as others
whose names have not been made pub-
lic.
The Curtin building at present is
occupied by Mrs. S. A. Bell, Miss Al-
ice Tate and the vulcanizing plant of
John L. Stine. Just as soon as these
tenants can secure other quarters
work will be begun in remodeling the
building for garage purposes. The
preliminary plans provide for one big
show window in tne entire front of
the building. The front portion will
be used exclusively as a show room.
The rear portion and an extension to
be added thereto will be used for ga-
rage purposes. The second story of
the building will be made over into
two apartments for living purposes.
It is hoped to get a portion of the
work, at least, done this winter. The
new company will deal in automobiles
and accessories, trucks and tractors,
and do a general garage business.
