A Boost for Nickel-Alloy.
Almost everybody in Bellefonte
knows Dr. C. T. Hennig, and practic-
ally all the business and professional
men know what he has accomplished
in a business way since coming to
Bellefonte six years or more ago, his
latest venture being the big steel
plant and rolling mills at Hyde City,
Clearfield county. They also know of
his nickel-alloy metal, but very few
know in what way nickel-alloy differs
from any other metal of the same de-
gree of ductility. That there is virtue
in nickel-alloy seems evident from the
fact that the Iron Age, of June 17th, |
devoted four pages to a minute de-
scription of the metal and its good
qualities, an article written by Edwin
F. Cone, one of the paper’s metallur-
gical experts. It would be useless for
the “Watchman” to republish even a
part of the article as it is couched in
technical terms the meaning of which
is apparent only to metallurgists or
people who have made a chemical as
well as scientific study of the good
and pad qualities of iron and its con-
stituent products.
Suffice it to say that it is for theatil-
ization of this metal, which the dron
Age’s expert writer characterizes as
the best production for numerous
purposes of any metal made in
America, that Dr. Hennig is en-
deavoring to locate a fabricating
plant in which the metal can
be utilized in the manufacture of
80 many indispensable articles. The
“Watchman” already has published
several articles in connection with Dr.
Hennig’s desire to locate the plant in
or as near Bellefonte as possible; in
fact the first unit in the old Titan
metal plant near Milesburg, but up te
this time very little headway has been
made by the people of Bellefonte to
show encouragement to the proposi-
tion.
It is not the intention of this arti-
cle to convey the impression that the
“Watchman” is backing up the estab-
lishment of the plant here to the ex- |
tent of even suggesting to a single in-
dividual that they put money into it; |
neither is it our wish to be thought
detrimental to the undertaking. We
are simply stating facts as they exist
when we say that Dr. Hennig and the
people back of him asked that the peo- |
ple of Bellefonte take $50,000 worth
of stock in the new concern and that |
up to date not over ten thousand dol-
lars’ worth has been subscribed and
at present there is no indication of !
2ny one being specially interested in
doing anything.
The writer is in a position to know
that Philipsburg wants the new plant
and there are probably one or two
other towns that will offer induce-
ments, if they have not already done
so. The “Watchman” is not offering
advice one way or another. The whole
matter is up to the business men of
Bellefonte, and it is for them to de-, ak -,
‘ber of years ago but surviving her:
cide, individually and collectively,
whether the end will justify the means
exacted to bring the plant here.
Culveyhouse—Smith. —A wedding |
of interest to Bellefonte people was |
that in Utica, N. Y., on Thursday of
last week, of Stanley J. Culveyhouse,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Vesta D. Cul-
veyhouse, former residents of Belle-
fonte, and Miss Florence Smith, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Smith,
of Utica. The ceremony took place
at three o'clock in the afternoon in
Grace church and was performed by
the pastor. The bride was attended
by her sister, Miss Ethel Smith, while
the best man was the bridegroom’s
brother, Andrew Culveyhouse. © The
bride wore a white gown, with a hat
to match and carried a bouquet of
white roses. The bridesmaid was
gowned in pink with a pink trimmed
hat.
Following a reception and wedding
luncheon at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Culveyhouse
left on a wedding trip to New York
and Philadelphia, at the conclusion of
which they will make their home in
New Haven, Conn., where Mr. Culvey-
house is employed as a draughtsman
in the offices of the Winchester Arms
Company.
Solt—Passmore.—Lee C. Solt, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Solt, of Belle-
fonte, and Miss Edith Passmore, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pass-
more, of Clearfield, were married at
the Trinity Methodist parsonage,
Clearfield, on Wednesday of last week
by the pastor, Rev. W. W. Hartman.
Mr. Solt is at present employed at the
plant of the Nickel-Alloys company,
at Hyde City, and the young couple
will temporarily take up their resi-
dence in Clearfield.

Wilson Conrad Kress was born in
Lycoming county on July 14th, 1836,
hence was almost eighty-four years
old. In his early life he taught school
and earned enough money to take a
course in Dickinson Seminary, where
he graduated in 1859. He then resum-
ed teaching and also took up the study
of law. In 1861 he located in Lock
| Haven and began the publication of
the Lock Haven Press but left the
editorial chair in 1862 and enlisted
| for service in the Civil War, being i
made first lieutenant of Company E.
Later he was promoted to captain of
regiment was mustered out of service
at the expiration of its term of en-
listment he was appointed provost
marshal for Central Pennsylvania. In
the discharge of his duties as provost
marshal in October, 1864, he was sent
to round up a deserter by the name of
i Isaac Gaines, in Keating township,

After the war Capt. Kress resumed
| his law studies and in 1866 was ad-
| mitted to practice at the Clinton coun-
ty bar. In politics he was a Republi-
‘can and just naturally he drifted into
| the political whirlpool at the time
| when Quay was in his prime as the
i political watch-dog of Pennsylvania.
| When the late Governor D. H. Hast- |
| ings broke into politics he enlisted |

Public Health Nursing.
Public health nursing is a nursing
service for the benefit of all the peo-
ple in a community and in this respect
differs from ordinary nursing, which
| is usually for the benefit of a relative-
{ly small number of people in any
| community. The types of nursing
| which are engaged in by the public
| health nursing service are as follows:
Bedside nursing, which consists in
| actual nursing care given to sick pa-
| tients in their own homes. Such care
ness except the contagious diseases. '
nurse calling at the home to give the
necessary care daily, or as often as is
needed, but not remaining in the
home except in emergencies.
nant women and instruction in the hy-
ment for care during confinement.
Maternity nursing. There is a great |
need of adequate care in maternity
cases, but the community nurse is
able to give care only after confine-
ment, as attendance during delivery |
interferes seriously with the execu-
tion of her regular duties.
Infant welfare includes advice to
mothers regarding
constant oversight of the health of
the babies, and investigation of local
conditions influencing morbidity and
mortality.
Tha above survey has been prepared
by Miss Peterman, the local communi-
ty nurse, who is working in the Belle-
fonte district under direction of the
Bellefonte Chapter of the Red Cross.
Her office is in Petrikin hall, where
she may be consulted each week day
from 9 to 9:30 a. m. and from 1 to
1:30 p. m. Bell telephone 2-1.
Bellefonte Fruit Dealer Arrested.
Sam Manno, an Italian fruit vender
who recently came to Bellefonte from
Tyrone and opened a little fruit store |
"on west High street, recently vacated |
by Felice, the tailor, was arrested last |
' Thursday on a warrant sworn out be-
fore alderman W. E. Crawpsey, in Al- |
toona, charging him with passing bo- :
gus checks. The information was
made by L. R. Hesser, a fruit dealer of |
Altoona, who charged that on Janu-
ary 25th Manno gave him a check for
$72 and on April 5th another one for
$72.50, both of which were drawn on |
blanks of the Blair County National
| bank, of Tyrone.
While Hesser was not long in dis-
covering the fraud he did not wish to
put the Italian to any trouble and at-
tempted to get a settlement out of
| him. But instead of paying up Man-
no suddenly left Tyrone and came to
| Bellefonte and it was then that a war-
| rant was sworn out for his arrest.
Manno was taken back to Blair coun-
(ty and in default of six hundred dol- |
lars bail was sent to jail but this week
, all claims against him were paid and
| he will return to Bellefonte and re-
| sume charge of his store.

' Boy Scout Camps to Open Soon at
State College.
| Boy Scout troops from various
| parts of the State are planning to
spend a vacation trip during the
' month of July on the campus of The
| Pennsylvania State College when one
| week will be spent in camp life and
| various scout activities. Three camps
will be held, the first from July 6 to
13, the second from July 14 to 21, and
the third from July 22 to 29.
This is an annual feature at State
College, and every summer from eight
to twelve troops spend a week or more
there. Many nearby scout troops
make the camp a stopping place on
long hiking trips. A program of in-
struction in tent pitching, camp mak-
ing, camp cooking and first aid will
be arranged to suit the various
groups. Opportunity will be had for
preparing for and taking off the var-
ious tests and merit badge require-
ments. The college athletic equip-
ment will be available for use by the
scouts, and some of the best hiking
trails in Central Pennsylvania are to
be found in that section.

BELLEFONTE CHAUTAUQUA.
Will be Held the Week of July 20th
to 26th.
A very good meeting of the guaran-
tors of the Bellefonte Chautauqua for
the 1920 season was held on Monday
evening and preliminary arrange-
ments made for the feast of good
things which will be given under the
big tent on the High school grounds.

Chautauqua Association, has been in
Bellefonte this week looking after the '

being the man who dragged the truth
out of Germany, will be the attrac-
! tion on the second afternoon in a lec-
ture on “Behind the Scenes in Eu-

The stellar attraction of the week,
ment, will be the Belgian Veterans’
band, which will give a concert both
afternoon and evening of the third
day of the Chautauqua. Edward A.
Ott’s lecture on Friday evening and
the comedy-drama, “Rebecca of Sun-
nybrook Farm,” on Saturday even-
ing, will also be worth-while attrac-
tions. The closing number of the
Chautauqua will be a lecture by Lieut.
Belvin W. Maynard, the “flying Par-
son.”
In this connection it can be said
that most of the offerings this year
will be new to Bellefonte and we have
no hesitation in saying that the pro-
gram looks attractive to say the least.
In order to be on the safe side every
lover of good entertainment should
arrange at once to secure season tick-
ets from one of the guarantors. The

Arrested for Obtaining Money by
Misrepresentation.
On Tuesday morning sheriff Harry
Dukeman, with the assistance of the
state police, arrested two young men
and two girls on the charge of solicit-
ing money by misrepresentation.
While the four young people had as
yet secured no money in Bellefonte, as
the two girls only came to town on
the Monday night train and the two
boys Tuesday morning, they were re-
ally arrested on advance information
received by the sheriff from other
towns where they had been working.
According to the information received
by the sheriff the entire gang consist-
ed of seven people, the four picked up
here and a man and wife and another
girl who were supposed to be at Lew-
istown on Tuesday. The gang is rep-
resented as soliciting subscriptions for
papers and failing to make good.
The young people arrested here
gave as their names Harold Wrobble,
of Ohio; Raymond Stewart, of Phila-
delphia; Agnes Borline, of Pittsburgh,
and Dora Shoup, of Clarion county.

men as a board of directors to form

the study of his instrument and is
| constantly increasing his repertoire.
His technique is flawless and his tone

good music is his ambition. This is
always an important characteristic of
the virtuoso.
The financial returns from this re-
| cital were not what they should have
been in justification of such a pro-
gram and the worthiness of the cause,
and we hope this matter of a dental
clinic for school children will rest
heavily upon your minds and hearts
until you are moved to such generos-
ity as will make it possible.
The Wool Market.
“At the present time there is no mar-
ket for wool. In talking the matter
| over with several men in the wool
| trade, we have come to the conclusion
| that the only thing for our farmers
| to do is to hold their wool for some
"little time,” says Joseph W. Robinson,
agent of the Farm Bureau of Centre
county.
“Men who are posted on wool mar-
keting are of the opinion that it may
| be some time before we obtain a mar-
ket for these wools. However, we
. feel that it is absolutely essential for
| the wool growers not to try to dispose
of their wools before there is a mar-
| ket. For there is nothing worse for
| an already dull market than a flood of
| products for which there is no de-
mand. Pack your wool tightly in a
wool sack and store it away in a dry
place. In this way you get the least
you are sure your wool will keep in
“good condition, and hence you do not
not open up for six months.
“Men who are best qualified to ex-
a temporary drop in the wool market,
and that the market will come back,
“but just when and how strong no one
can definitely say.
“The Centre county Sheep and
Wool Growers’ association already
has wool marketing agreements to
the extent of 8,000 pounds of wool. If
; you wish to get the advantage of co-
| operative selling of the Centre coun-
| ty wools, send in your wool market-
| ing agreement promptly.”

. sioner, and others equally prominent.
Mr. Pinchot and Mr. Gordon address-
ed the gathering of citizens and pledg-
ed the assistance of their depart-
ments in carrying on any work that
the county association may decide up-
on. Others who made encouraging
| talks were Col. Shoemaker, W. B. Mc-
: Caleb, of Philadelphia, Dr. E. E.
Sparks, of the Pennsylvania State
College, and John S. Dale, of State
College, who, as head of the Centre
county Pomana Grange, pledged the
assistance of that organization and
farmers generally to the conservation
movement.
The meeting was presided over by
Dean R. L. Watts, of State College,
' while Col. Theodore Davis Boal play-
‘ed the part of host in his customary
urbane and gracious manner.
State College Farmer’s Week a Great
Success.
Farmers’ Week at the Pennsylvania
State College, in spite of the fact that
inclement weather interfered with at-
tendance, was a great success. More
than three thousand farm people visit-
“ed the college farms and witnessed
the many demonstrations showed for
them during the three days devoted
to their program. For the first time
a Young Farmers’ section was held,
extending over six days, and the more
than 200 boy and girl club workers
who attended were greatly pleased
with the results.
Ninety demonstrations were held in
two days, Wednesday and Thursday.
From fifty to two and three hundred
farmers were in attendance at each
of these and were favorably impress-
ed. During the general meetings
Fred Rasmussen, secretary of agri-
culture, said that for the first time
in a generation there will be no food
surplus and conditions nearing fam-
ine will result unless a good price for
their products is guaranteed to the
farmer. Gifford Pinchot, forestry
commissioner, said that the Pennsyl-
vania farmer is today working hard-
er for a smaller reward than any
other class equally skilled. Lumber
users in Pennsylvania can save $25,-
000,000 every year in freight alone
if timber is grown for local consump-
tion in the State.
The Wayne county boys’ judging
team won the Holstein-Fresian Asso-
| ciation cup, being the best team in
| judging that breed. The team consist-
ed of Ross Osborne, Rush Simonds
' and Fruend Uhl, all of Newfoundland.
| The Armstrong county team won the
| State Bankers’ cup in the general
| livestock judging contests, scoring 766
out of a possible 900 points. The
members were Norman Brunt, Kit-
| tanning; Wilbur Cochrane and Wil-
| liam Bleakney, of Dayton. The Fay-
| ette team was second.
Miss Rishell, of Farmers’ Mills,
made the highest score in judging
dairy cattle.
——Mrs. C. D. Tanner is now visit-
ing her daughter, Mrs. Hugh Boyle,
' at Hazleton, while her son Forest is
very ably holding down his job at the
aviation field in this place. Mail avi-
ators flying between Bellefonte and
New York pass over Hazleton and
last week Forest decided to send his
mother an airmail letter. As there is
no station at Hazleton he rigged up a
miniature mailbag, attached it to a
parachute and weighted it with small
stones, just large enough to carry the
parachute to the ground and yet not
heavy enough to injure anyone if they
should happen to fall on some per-
son’s head. The letter was securely
attached and the miniature mail con-
veyor confided to the care of pilot
Hopson who, on his flight east, drop-
ped the letter as he flew over Hazle-
ton. The parachute worked success-
fully and the letter, cast adrift at a
height of two thousand feet, settled to
the ground and fell in the street close
to two little girls. They picked at up
i and after reading the address on the
letter were prompt to see that it was
| delivered to Mrs. Tanner.
