NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
- — Vote for Mellville Gillett, can-
didate for delegate for Republican
National convention.—Adv.
— The County Commissioners
have been busy this week distributing
the ballots and election supplies for
next Tuesday’s primaries.
Salient, serious, startling, sur-
prising facts at the Methodist church
Sunday evening at 7:30. A solo en-
titled “What God Has Done,” will be
sung by Mrs. Krader.
— Do not fail to hear Byron W.
King’s humorous lecture in the Miles-
burg Methodist church Saturday,
May 22nd, at 8 o'clock. An evening
of pleasure and amusement for old
and young.
W. T. Fitzgerald had another
serious attack of illness last Saturday
evening and his condition was quite
alarming for two days but he rallied
early in the week and is now consid-
erably improved.
Mrs. Margaret Lloyd-Robinson,
who makes her home with her niece,
Mrs. H. S. Taylor, in Bellefonte, was
awarded the $25.00 prize for suggest-
ing the name, “The Philips,” as the
most appropriate for Philipsburg’s
new hotel. ;
Next week will be a bsuy one
in Bellefonte. It will not only be ‘the |
week for the May term of court, and
which promises to be of more than
usual interest, but that also of the
general primaries, which will be-held
on Tuesday.
Andrew Boggs, a native of
Milesburg, but who has made his
home in Philipsburg the past several
years, has been selected as managing
secretary of the Chamber of Com-
merce of that town. The young éman
is a graduate of the High school and
will no doubt be a leading factor in
booming Philipsburg in the future.’
Bishop street from Allegheny
to Spring has been closed to traffic
and contractor Frank T. Murphy is
pushing the work of rebuilding that
thoroughfare into a state highway.
That section of his contract will be
completed so that the street can be |
opened up for business before work
is started on Spring and Pine streets.
The-concrete is now being pour-
ed for the walls and bins of the new
‘Wagner mill along the state road
south of Bellefonte. The bins will
have a capacity when completed of
from 28,000 to 30,000 bushels of
grain, which is equal to almost fifty
car loads. As the entire mill will be
of reinforced concrete it will be as
nearly fireproof as it is possible to
build it.

was so seriously injured a few weeks.
ago when his plane fell to the ground
on the Humes farm, has practically
recovered though it was found neces-
sary this week to amputate portions of
the first and second fingers on his left
hand owing ‘to’ the
dons had been so badly burned that
the first joints of the fingers were use-
less.
A respite was granted in Har-
risburg on Saturday to Samuel Coles
and John Morrison, two Philadelphia
convicted murderers, until the week
of June 6th to enable their cases to be
carried before the board of pardons.
The two men are now at the death
house at Rockview and were to have
been clectrocuted on Monday. This is
the second respite that has been
granted them.
Reports from eastern and
northern counties of the State say
that potatoes have not only reached
the top notch for this season but have
started on the toboggan and very
much lower prices may be expected !
within the next week or so. If local
reports arc correct there are a good
many potatoes yet on hand in Centre
county, but so far no decline in the
price has been noticed here.
Dr. H. P. Armsby, director of
the institute of animal nutrition at
State College, was recently honored
by being elected to membership in the
National Academy of Science. Mem-
bership in this organization is re-
stricted to those who have distin-
guished themselves in scientific re-
search and Dr. Armsby was honored
because of his experiments with the
respiration calorimeter in determining
what use an animal makes of the
food it eats.
——Many of the important happen-
ings of the world today are memorial-
ized in moving pictures and are thus
brought to the attention of the gener-
al public as they are thrown on the
screen in moving picture shows all
over the country. In Bellefonte these
pictures of current events are shown
at the Scenic twice a week and while
they are always greatly appreciated
they are only a small part of the very
good programs shown at this popular
place of amusement week after week.
——Employees of the Atlantic Re-
fining company were agreeably sur-
prised the past week to receive notice
from the company that they had taken
insurance for all their employees in
sums ranging from $250 for an em-
ployee who has been in the service of
the company six months to $1000 for
any one who has been with the com-
pany eight years or longer, the em-
ployee to name his own beneficiary
and the insurance to date from Janu-
ary 1st, 1920. Lunger Wian, the gen-
jal and efficient manager of the com-
pany in Bellefonte, will come under
the one thousand dollar class, as he
has been with the company almost
twenty years.

Joseph Morrison Killed in Automobile
Accident.
|
' Joseph Morrison, a former Belle-
‘fonte young man, was almost instant-
ily killed in an auto accident near
‘Uniontown on Sunday evening. Dur-
| ing the past six months or more he
‘had been located at Brownsville where
"he had a good job as an auto mechan-
lic in a large garage. On Sunday
i afternoon he was one of three young
! men who left Brownsville in a large
| touring car for a trip to Uniontown.
lA young man named John Smith, was
| the driver of the car. In driving over
| the mountain near Uniontown he in
some way lost control of the steering
wheel and the big car went over the
edge of the road and rolled down the
side of the mountain until it lodged
against a large tree. Morrison was
crushed so badly that he died shortly
after the accident, while both the oth-
er young men were quite seriously in-
jured.
ert and Sarah Morrison and was born
at Axe Mann twenty-five years ago.
His parents moved to Bellefonte when
he was a boy and here he grew to
manhood. He was called for service
in the world war in May, 1918, and
sent to Columbus, Ohio, for training.
In less than a month he was sent over-
seas where he was assigned to the
' auto mechanics division. He returned
home the latter part of May, 1919, and
after spending a month or two at
| home went to Brownsville where he
| had since been employed. He is sur-
| vived by his parents and one brother,
{ John Morrison, of Bellefonte.
{ The remains weré brought to Belle-
' fonte on the 1:27 p. m. train on Tues-
day and taken to his parent’s home on
i east High street. Funeral services
"were held in St. John’s Catholic church
"at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning
{ by Rev. Father Downes, after which
, burial was made in the Catholic cem-
etery.
Our Amateurs in Minstrelsy.
jy TRE performances gven by the re-
| vived Bellefonte Amateur Operatic
| minstrels, at Garmans, Tuesday and
| Wednesday nights, quite fulfilled the
| expectations of those familiar with
| the pleasing programs presented by
' this company of local entertainers in
years gone by.
They played to splendid houses both
nights and while the action was much
better and everything went smoother
Wednesday evening than it did for the
| opener the audience was not nearly as
responsive as were the first nighters.
The really artistic part of the show
was the music and the chorus was
probably the best balanced and blend-
ed combination of male voices that
has ever sung to a Bellefonte audi-
ence. The soloists, every one of them,
encorad repeatedly.
co rifuied by. Oeffinger and ~ Wolf,
two favorite Altoona amateurs,
caught the fancy of the audience and
was recalled time and again. We use
the word finished as descriptive of
their act advisedly for it was costum-
ed and . executed with a grace and
charm that professionalism might be
proud to claim and the surprise occa-
sioned by their finale when Wolf re-
moved his coiffure revealing the fact
that he was a man was fine acknowl-
edgment of his art in female delinea-
tion.
The after-piece, “The Rum Hounds
in the Chase,” proved the vehicle
through which William Ryan was car-
dancing, Herbert Beezer for some fan-
cy steps, little Irvin Martin for sev-
eral songs that took the audience by
storm and a fight in which Mike Ha-
zel starred by seeing stars in a very
realistic way.
! The comedy was contributed by
such well known old black-face fun
makers as Hard Harris, Louie Dag-
gett, Russell Blair, Dan Clemson and
Robert Hunter and they were ably as-
sisted by Leo Toner, Herbert Beezer,
Milan Walker, Melvin Cherry, Mike
Hazel, Cecil Walker, R. W. Funk,
| James Seig, Charles Schaeffer, Clair
Lyon, Millard Hartswick, Dale Musser
and other new-comers into the realm of
helpful and harmonious, and to Miss
Miriam Smith, probably more than
any other, is the company giving cred-
it for the music, for it was her untir-
ing devotion as pianist, both in re-
hearsal and in the orchestra that
brought the perfection.
The orchestra was a feature of the
show. It was a feature in its music
alone but the support it gave the so-
helpful and harmonious.
The shows were given for the bene-
fit of the Odd Fellows band and will
net that worthy organization some-
thing over $600.00.

One hundred and twenty sam-
ple packages of Kolynos dental cream
were received by Elizabeth B. Meek
this week for free distribution to pu-
pils in the public schools. This gen-
erous contribution from the Kolynos
company of New Haven, Connecticut,
is much appreciated by those interest-
ed in our oral hygiene campaign as,
in a recent scientific comparison of
many widely advertised dental creams,
Kolynos was found to be least injur-
ious to the teeth, and we are glad to |
have our children learn what is best
in dental creams as well as in every-
thing else.

Superior court judge William
H. Keller, of Lancaster, has accepted
“an invitation to deliver the commence-
mgnt address to the graduating class
of the Bellefonte High school this
year. Judge Keller, it might be men-
tioned, was a member of the first class
graduated at the Bellefonte High
school and his selection to deliver the
commencement address this year and
his acceptance is a compliment to the
school. Judge Keller is not only an
able speaker but is classed as a bril-
liant orator and the High school grad-
uates have a treat in store for them in
his commencement address.

known ‘as the Frank. C. Montgomery
residence. The house was occupied
by Mr. Morris and family for a num-
ber of years past but they have moved
across the street to their old home on
the north side of Linn street. The
price paid was $10,000, and Mr. Me-
Curdy and sisters expect to move

' as arrangements can be completed.
Mrs. Burket’s House Burned.
The home of Mrs. Kate Reese Bur-
ket, on the old Reese homestead on
the mountain two miles west of Fill-
more, was burned to the ground at
noon on Thursday of last week. Some
of her household goods and six dollars
in money were also burned. Mrs.
Reese, who is eighty-seven years old,
badly crippled with rheumatism and
handicapped with failing eyesight,
lived by herself in a small house on
the old homestead farm. As luck
would have it her brother, Aaron W.
Reese, just happened to be there on a
visit at the time the fire occurred. The
flames were first discovered by A. H.
Hoover and son George, who prompt-
ly ran to the house and with the aid
of Mr. Reese succeeded in saving most
of the contents of the house. Now
that her little home has been destroy-
ed Mrs. Reese for the present, at least,
will live with her sister, Mrs. A. H.
Hoover, on the old homestead.
Sixteen Dead Deer Found in Seven
Mountains.
Officers of the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Forestry in Centre county
have found sixteen dead deer this
spring on the Seven mountains. In
cach instance they were old does and
yearling fauns, showing that the
weaker animals in the herds could not
survive the severe winter.
Another interesting fact is that
they were all found in mountain
streams or within a few feet of them.
This may be due to the fact that pro-
tection is greater and food is more
plentiful along streams when a deep
sncw covers the mountains.
A telephone line has been construct-
ed between the Bear Meadows state
forest and the Greenwood state forest,
making it possible to talk from Boals-
burg through the Seven mountains to
Greenwood Furnace, or to the home
of Ranger Reitz, above Charter Oak,
in Huntingdon county. The line is
twenty-seven miles long, connects the
homes of all foresters and rangers on
the two forests, the Little Flat tower
and a number of state and private
cabins. The primary use of the tele-
phone line is for forest fire protection,
but it also saves much time and ex-
pense in the administration of those
two forests.

Went to Pittsburgh to Celebrate Gold-
en Wedding.
Chaplain T. W. Young, of the west-
| ern penitentiary, with Mrs. Young,
went out to Pittsburgh on Thursday
of last week to celebrate their golden
wedding. Their anniversary fell on
Sunday, the ninth, but the celebration
was held on Saturday at the home of
their daughter, Mrs. W. B. Epley, who
was assisted in the arrangements for
| the event by their other daughter,
Miss Isabel, who is also making her
home in Pittsburgh, where she has a
very good position. Inasmuch as
their children were in that city they
induced their father and mother to go
out there in the belief that it would
be a pleasant change for them. In
addition to the immediate members of
the family a few intimate friends were
also present at the gathering which
proved most delightful to all. The
only absent member of the family
was Chaplain and Mrs. Young’s son
Dr. Thomas W. Young, a practicing
physician in California, who lives too
far away from home to attend the
gathering.
The “Watchman,” of course, begs
to extend congratulations to Chap-
lain and Mrs. Young. They came to
Bellefonte just about four years ago,
or on April 7th, 1916, when Rev.
Young was appointed chaplain of the
western penitentiary and in the few
years they have lived here they have
made many warm friends. They are
not only consistent christian people
but are good citizens in every way.
While they are both getting along in
years, a fact that is only natural con-
sidering that they have been married
| fifty years, the “Watchman” hopes
they may both be spared to celebrate
many more anniversaries.
Trees Planted in Centre County.
More than 116,000 young forest
trees have been planted on private
lands in Centre county this spring,
according to a report issued by Gif-
ford Pinchot, chief forester of the
Pennsylvania Department of Forest-
ry. Trees were supplied without cost
to twenty-six planters by the State
Forestry Department.
The plantings were made as fol-
lows: White pine, 71150; jack pine,
5600; Norway spruce, 33350, and 6803
others. b
It was the occa- |
to these youthful modern crusaders.
