teen of her playmates and friends,
Wednesday afternoon, at the home of

tertaining to all children, and things

occasion a great event in each one of
their lives.

son or persons guilty of such steal-
ing and if their identity can be learn-
ed they will be promptly arrested and
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law.

taken his fun-makers to the peniten-
tiary to give an entertainment for the
benefit of the unfortunates who were
unable to come and see them in Belle-

necessary to say that they all enjoyed
the treat. The Academy boys were
taken to the penitentiary in autos and
trucks kindly furnished by T. Clayton

ton Johnson and N. Ichkowitz.

HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT. |
|
Forty three Young Men and Women
Awarded Diplomas.
Thirty-seven years ago the first
fonte High school and last evening a
member of that class in the person of
Superior Court Judge William H. Kel-
ler, of Lancaster, delivered the com-
mencement address to the graduates.
This in itself should be incentive
enough to the young men and women
to put forth their best efforts in an
endeavor to capitalize on the educa-
tion they received in the Bellefonte
schools. Of course they cannot all be-
come Superior Court judges, or even
the wives of such judges, but every
one of them has a niche awaiting him
or her in some hall of fame if they
will now buckle down to the daily
grind of toil that is necessary to win
success in whatever calling they elect
to make their life’s work.
The commencement exercises began
on Sunday evening when the mem-
bers of the graduating class gathered
in the Presbyterian church to hear the
baccalaureate sermon as preached by
Rev. Wilson P. Ard, pastor of the
Lutheran church. Space limit pre-
vents any lengthy digest of the ser-
mon, but it was just the kind suited
to the young minds and hearts to
which it was specially directed, and
if the graduates make up their minds
to profit by the good advice embodied
in the pastor's remarks they cannot
fail to become better men and women
spiritually, morally and physically.
The Junior declamatory contest for
the Reynolds prizes was held in the
High school auditorium on Monday
evening, and drew a large crowd. The
ten contestants were Scott R. Wol-
ford, Esther Keturah Johnson, Fred-
erick Herr, Caroline Elizabeth Van
Valin, Richard R. Herman, Mary Fer-
guson Sebring, Howard W. Van Va-
lin, Gertrude Sarah Smith, Nevin
Robb and Mary Dale. The judges
were Dr. George P. Bible, Col. J. L.
Spangler and J. Carpenter Hess, and
at the conclusion of the contest they
awarded the boys’ prize to Frederick
Herr with honorable mention for Nev-
in Robb, and the girls’ prize to Car-
oline Van Valin with honorable men-
tion for Gertrude Smith. The prizes
are $7.50 each.
On Tuesday the High school pic-
nicked at Hecla park which proved a
most delightful outing of the week’s
exercises. Wednesday morning the
grade schools of the brick building
gave their playlet, “The Rose Dream,”
in the High school auditorium, which
proved a most successful ending of
their term of school. Wednesday
evening the High school orchestra
gave a concert in the auditorium
which proved a musical treat for all
those who heard it. The grade schools
at the High school building held their
formal closing exercises in the audit-
orium yesterday when they gave the
charming little operatta, “Cinderella
in Flowerland.”
The exhibits of the work done by
the grade pupils in the manual arts
and domestic science courses attract-
ed unusual attention from all visitors
to the High school building during the
week. To fully describe these exhib-
its would take up a column of space,
suffice it to say that they were larger
than any previous exhibit and plainly
showed the thoroughness of the train-
ing in these departments. In fact
they were especially commented upon
by visitors from other towns much
larger than Bellefonte who expressed
the hope that their own schools could
be favored with such efficient work in
these two important courses.
The commencement exercises inci-
dent to the graduating class were held
in the auditorium last evening. The
High school orchestra furnished the
music and after the very splendid ad-
dress by Judge William H. Keller the
graduates were given their diplomas
and the prizes awarded by Dr. Melvin
J. Locke, president of the Bellefonte
school board.
The week’s exercises will be official-
ly closed this (Friday) evening with
the alumni reception and dance in the
armory.
The graduating class of forty-three
members this year is next to the larg-
est ever turned out from the Belle-
fonte High school, the largest being
in 1916, when forty-four young men
and women won their diplomas. The
full list of graduates is as follows:

“Jinks” to be Shown Free.
The State Society for the Preven-
tion of Tuberculosis has purchased
several movie films to be shown, free,
for educational purposes, chief among
which is Jinks—the story of tubercu-
losis in comedy form. Through the
generosity of Mr. Brown, the use of
the Scenic has been given the local
committee for next Tuesday and Wed-
nesday afternoons, June 8 and 9, at
2:30 o'clock. Tuesday afternoon, the
film will be shown for Modern Health
Crusaders of grades three, four, five,
six, seven and eight. Wednesday it
will be shown for parents and any oth-
ers who desire to come. Remind your
child of it on Tuesday at 2:30 o’clock
and come yourself on Wednesday at
2:30. No Admission.
Three Good Games Promised.
Baseball fans will have an opportu-
nity of witnessing at least three more
good games of baseball before the
Bellefonte Academy closes. The first
will be this (Friday) afternoon at
3:15 o'clock when the wonderfully
strong Wyoming Seminary nine of
Wilkes-Barre will be the Academy’s
opponent. Tomorrow afternoon the
State Freshmen will line up against
the Academy on Hughes field. This
game will be called promptly at three
o’clock.
Next Thursday afternoon, at four
o’clock, the Academy alumni will play
a game with the regular Academy
nine. On the alumni team will be
such old-time players as Beattie, Jam-
ison, Bloyd, Dillon, Kline, etc. This
is a game that will be worth seeing,
and inasmuch as it will occur on the
afternoon of the half holiday for the
Bellefonte stores a large crowd
should be on the field to witness the
game.
Memorial Day in Bellefonte.
Memorial day was duly observed in
Bellefonte on Monday and notwith-
standing the fact that the Rhoda Roy-
al circus was in town a large crowd
attended the ceremonies in the Union
cemetery in the afternoon. Wetzler’s
Boys band of Milesburg led the
parade of Civil war veterans, who
have grown so pitifully few in num-
bers that less than a score were in the
line of parade. But fifty or more vet-
erans of the world war, soldiers and
sailors, under command of Major H.
Laird Curtin, were in line.and they
made a very impressive appearance in
their natty khaki uniforms.
The parade formed in the Diamond
at 1:30 .p. m., and moved promptly at
two o'clock. At Howard street the
school children fell in line at the head
of the parade and marched to the Un-
jon cemetery where a large crowd had
already gathered. The usual G. A. R.
ceremonies were held and graves of
old soldiers decorated after which the
memorial address was delivered by
Rev. Wilson P. Ard, pastor of the
Lutheran church. It was a splendid
and impressive address and was list-
ened to with the closest attention by
the hundreds of people, young and
old, who were in attendance. At the
close of the address the parade re-
formed and marched back to the Dia-
mond where it was dismissed. The
old veterans later were the guests of
the Bellefonte Lodge of Elks at their
home on High street.

TERRIBLE AUTO TRAGEDY.
T. R. Harter, Wife and Daughter
Killed in Accident at Mill Hall.
Thomas R. Harter, the well known
banker and lumberman of Lock Ha-
| ven, and his wife were instantly killed
‘last Saturday afternoon when the Le-
high Pennsylvania train struck their
| automobile on the crossing at Mill
(Hall; their daughter Helen was so
badly injured that she died while be-
ing taken to the Lock Haven hospital;
| their daughter-in-law, Mrs. Paul Har-
| ter, suffered what is feared will prove
fatal injuries, and John Lucas, of
Frankford, Pa., Miss Harter’s fiancee,
‘is in the Lock Haven hospital with
concussion of the brain, though he is
: expected to recover.
| The Harter family left Lock Haven
| at the same time the Lehigh-Pennsyl-
| vania train pulled away from the sta-
tion. They drove to Mill Hall where
{the watchwoman frantically gave
| them the signal to stop. Another car
| had been held up to await the passing
i of the fast train and while eye wit-
nesses allege that the Harter car first
slowed up, Mr. Harter almost instant-
ly disregarded the signals of the
watchwoman, speeded up his car and
| attempted to make the crossing ahead
of the train. Several freight cars on
a siding two hundred feet down the
track prevented him from seeing just
how close the train was. The result
was the locomotive struck the tonneau
of his car and hurled it a distance of
125 feet. All of the occupants were
thrown out and Mr. and Mrs. Harter
met instant death from concussion.
Miss Helen Harter was alive when
picked up but died as she was being
conveyed to the hospital. The two in-
jured were taken to the hospital at
Lock Haven where everything possi-
ble is being done for them. The auto-
mobile, a Franklin car, was literally
smashed to kindling wood and twist-
ed iron. According to the stories of
! all who saw the accident the railroad
company was in no way at fault.
Mr. Harter was a son of Mr. and
Mrs. William Harter and was born in
Nittany valley fifty years ago. As a
young man he located at Loganton
where he became that town’s leading
citizen, being president of the Logan-
ton National bank and had extensive
lumbering interests in Clinton and
Centre counties. He had many other
business interests throughout Clinton
county. After the disastrous fire
which almost wiped out Loganton in
the fall of 1918 Mr. Harter built him-
self a handsome home in Lock Haven
where he and his family have since
lived.
Mrs. Harter before her marriage
was Miss Louise Gertrude Boone, and
was almost 48 years old. Their daugh-
ter Helen was in her twentieth year.
The only survivors of the family are
Paul Harter, of Lock Haven, and Mrs.
Ezra D. Rathmell, of Norwood. Mr.
Harter is also survived by his aged
mother and one brother, Charles S.
Harter, of Lock Haven. Mrs. Harter
is survived by her mother, one broth-
er and three sisters. The triple fun-
eral was held at 2:30 o’clock on Wed-
nesday, burial being made in the
Highland cemetery, Lock Haven.
Three Injured in Auto Accident.
Miss Bess Stover, of Hublersburg,
has a broken collar bone and her sis-
ter, Miss Grace Stover, of Bellefonte,
was almost drowned in an auto acci-
dent on Sunday afternoon down near
Lamar. The latter young woman
lives at the W. G. Emerick home in
Bellefonte and on Sunday she and her
sister were taken out for a run down
Nittany valley by Ira Sprankle, of
Coleville. Just above the iron bridge
at the mouth of the Fishing creek gap
Miss Grace Stover noticed something
wrong with the steering wheel and
told Sprankle to stop the car but be-
fore he could do so the steering gear
broke, the car ran to the side of the
road and down over the bank into
Fishing creek, falling backwards into
the stream for a sheer drop of ten
feet or more. Fortunately Sprankle
and Miss Bess Stover were able to get
out from under the wreck without any
trouble but Miss Grace was thrown
into the creek head first and was al-
most drowned before she could be re-
leased. While the latter had no bones
broken she was badly bruised along
her entire right side. Miss Bess Sto-
ver suffered a broken collar bone and
bad body bruises and is now confined
to her home at Hublersburg. Spran-
kle suffered only minor injuries.
SNOW SHOE MAN HURT.
A few days ago W. B. Hall, of Snow
Shoe, was motoring down the Nittany
valley state road when his car was
wrecked. Mr. Hall received several
bad cuts on the head and face and a
badly injured hand, but is able to look
after his business at the Washington
hotel, Snow Shoe, as usual.
Last Friday afternoon J. M.
Heinle and Arthur Dale left Belle-
fonte in the former’s car for a run to
Williamsport. Below Lock Haven
on one of those wretched detours Mr.
Heinle had a blowout in one of his
tires which caused the car to swerve
and finally upset in the ditch along-
side of the road. Mr. Heinle had his
left foot caught under one of the
doors of the car, breaking the small
bones over the instep. He was con-
veyed to the Lock Haven hospital and
the fractures reduced and on Sunday
was brought home, being now confin-
ed to his room in the Garman house.
Government officials are be-
coming quite active throughout the
State smelling out illegal traffic in in-
toxicating drinks, but so far they
have not gotten very hot on the scent
of where the illegal traffic is reported
as flourishing to an amazing extent.
