Brief Meeting of Borough Council.
Six members were present at the
regular meeting of borough council on
Monday evening. Secretary W. T.
Kelly reported that he had notified
the Titan Metal company that begin-
ning August first their assessment for
water used would be the same as
charged all large consumers for
manufacturing purposes, five cents a
thousand gallons for the first million
gallons used and three cents a thou-
sand gallons for all water over a mil-
lion gallons used within any quarter.
A written request was received
from Frank Sasserman that the bor-
ough extend the sewer along the Bea-
ver and Hoy row to his new prop-
erty, a distance of seventy feet. The
matter was referred to the Street
committee for investigation and re-
port.
A communication was received from
the Civic committee of the Woman's
club protesting against the erection
of the granite watering trough offered
the borough by Thomas Beaver, in
front of the soldier’s monument, and
suggesting as a more appropriate lo-
cation either the upper end of Bishop
street or the intersection of Bishop
and Allegheny streets. President
Walker stated that in his own judg-
ment it would not be a wise move to
locate the trough in front of the
monument, owing to the congested
condition there by the parking of
cars, etc. No definite action was tak-
en.
The Street committee reported vari-
our sewers cleaned out and minor re-
pairs on streets.
The water committee reported a
number of leaks in pipes repaired and
recommended that exonerations total-
ling $301.15 on the 1918 water dup-
licate and meter bills be allowed,
which council authorized.
The Fire and Police committee pre-
sented the burgess’ check for $78.90
for fines and licenses collected, and
also read a brief communication from
that official stating that he had or-
dered additional silent policemen and
“no parking” signs. The borough
manager stated that he had just re-
ceived a number of signs, and will
have no use for those ordered by the
burgess.
The Finance committee presented
the request of the borough treasurer
that a note of the Bellefonte Trust
Co. due August 21st for $5,000 be re-
newed and increased to $7,000 to meet
current bills, which was authorized.
The committee also reported that the
borough duplicate for 1920 had been
completed by the secretary of coun-
cil. It shows a total of $8,993.21
taxes for borough purposes, $17,981.09
for street purposes and $8,-
993.21 for interest, or a grand total
of $35,967.61.
Secretary Kelly presented a resolu-
tion requesting the Bell Telephone
company of Pennsylvania to install
a telephone in the sheriff’s office at
the jail to be used for fire alarm
purposes only, and all messages
not relating to borough affairs to be
raid for at regular rates. The reso-
lution passed.
The borough manager reported to
council that he had received requests
for several crossings on Curtin street
and the matter .was referred to the
Street committee and borough manag-
er to secure bids on constructing the
same and report at next meeting.
Bills to the amount of $2352.43
were approved and council adjourned.
Potato Blight May be Serious.
State College warns potato growers
against the worst late blight epidemic
in recent years. In many counties
fifty per cent. of the crop is already
infected. The loss will be enormous
and another year of extremely high
priced potatoes may result. Many
fields can still be saved by imme-
diate and thorough spraying with
Bordeaux mixture. For immediate
help on how to spray, growers should
get in touch with their county agent.
If you have been spraying at inter-
vals of two weeks all summer, it
would be well to shorten the inter-
vals to ten or twelve days between
sprays during the present dangerous
period.

Poultry Culling Demonstrations.
The Centre county Farm Bureau,
cooperating with the poultry exten-
sion department of the Pennsylvania
State College, will hold a series of
poultry selection meetings this sum-
mer to demonstrate the common meth-
ods of determining whether a hen
is laying or not, and whether or not
she has been a profitable asset to the
farm flock and has earned the right
to stay in the flock another year.
County agent J. N. Robinson is
planning these meetings so as to
reach as many people as possible. If
you want to know how to detect the
“boarder” in your poultry flock, at-
tend one of these meetings. Every
one will be given an opportunity to
handle a number of birds, thus se-
curing actual experience and real
knowledge of the principles of selec-
tion under the direction of a poultry
specialist.
Proper culling of any flock of hens
will keep the egg production to fifty
per cent. better during the summer
months. Why feed a loafer? With
the price of grain as high as it is, no
one can afford to feed hens that are
not producing. Every flock has hens
in it that are unprofitable. Learn how
to cull your flock and make it a real
money producer. Don’t feed loafing
hens high-priced grain.
——W. H. Burrows, veteran mail
agent on the Bald Eagle Valley rail-
road, was placed on the retired list
yesterday after serving fifty-five
years.

Big Picnic at Warriorsmark.
Upwards of a thousand people at-|
tended the annual Granger’s picnic at |
Warriorsmark last Saturday, which !
was held in the Harry Grazier grove !
near the Cross Roads. This is one |
of the big gatherings for that section |
of Huntingdon county and naturally
attracts attendance not only from that
immediate locality but from the west- |
ern end of Centre county, from Ty-
rone and portions of Blair county. |
W. Harrison Walker Esq., of Belle- |
fonte, was one of the speakers, and the !
local editor of the Watchman was his |
motor guest on the trip up and back. '
Quite naturally that well known !
Granger and agriculturist, George G. |
Hutchinson, of Warriorsmark, was the |
big mogul in charge, and this in itself
was assurance that nothing was lack-
ing in the way of making the picnic
a success. The Warriorsmark band
was on the ground and conclusively
proved that they were not there for :
show purposes only. In fact, they
were extremely liberal in exploiting
their musical ability, which proved
one of the greatest pleasures of the
gathering.
The meeting in the afternoon was
presided over by Mr. Hutchinson, who
spoke briefly of the various reasons !
| why everybody should take a day off |
once a year or oftener and spend the |
time in such a harmonious gathering |
as a picnic in the woods always prov- ;
ed to be, and when he had exhausted
his stock in trade he introduced dis- !
trict attorney M. D. Patterson, of Al- |
toona, who entertained the crowd with |
an interesting and delightful talk.
The next and last speaker was W. |
Harrison Walker, Esq., who naturally |
spoke on the subject nearest his"
heart, war savings stamps and certif-
icates. Mr. Walker explained to his |
hearers just why the purchase of war |
savings stamps and certificates is a
profitable way to invest money and |
from results obtained before he left |
the ground his talk must have been |
convincing.
While the writer did not have the
pleasure of sampling the dinner, as
our visit to the picnic was only for a
brief time during the afternoon, we'll
venture the assertion thatit was the
most enjoyable part of the gathering,
judging from the piles of hugh hamp-
ers and baskets in evidence through-
out the grove. Of course it wouldn’t
have been a picnic without the dinner,
and having a personal knowledge of
the culinary abilities of the women of
that locality leads us to define it as
big.
In the afternoon there was a ball
game between the Warriorsmark and
Sandy Ridge teams, the latter win-
ning by a decisive score.
“Bobby” Lyon’s Generous Hospitality.
Prof. James R. ‘Hughes, who ‘is
making at this time his regular sum-
mer scouting and pleasure trip through
northern Pennsylvania and portions
of New York State, recently wrote a
letter to one of his relatives in Belle-
fonte emphasizing the wonderful spir-
it of cordiality always manifested by
former Bellefonters. Recently Mr.
Hughes and party, consisting of Mrs.
Hughes, Miss Emma Green and Miss
Daisy Graham, arrived in Buffalo and
decided to visit Niagara Falls then
take the boat trip over Lake Erie,
from Buffalo to Detroit, Mich.
“Bobby” Lyon, son of the late W. A.
Lyon, now superintendent of the
American Palance laundry, of Buffalo,
met the party at the station with his
Packard car and took them to the
fine apartments which he had kindly
selected for them. The next day Mr.
Lyon, with his wife and two little
boys, and his mother, Mrs. W. A.
Lyon, took Mr. Hughes and party to
Niagara Falls, thence to Fort Niag-
ara, through the most beautiful fruit
belt in that part of the State, and
back to Buffalo, making a one hun-
dred mile trip. And thentocap the
climax of his hospitable spirit, he en-
tertained the entire party at dinner at
the Hotel Lenox. It is interesting to
note that Mr. Lyon is an enthusiastic
reader of the Watchman.
Three Cases Disposed Of.
At a brief session of court this week
the case of E. L. Remsnyder, of Phil-
ipsburg, charged with operating an
automobile while intoxicated, was dis-
posed of by the court suspending sen-
tence upon the payment of costs.
Remsnyder declared that the only
thing he had taken was a bottle of
lemon soda, but admitted that it had
gone to his head and he believed Be
had been loaded.
Charles Garber, of Osceola Mills, |
arrested in connection with the shoot-
ing of Adolph Ciesla, was given a sus-
pended sentence upon the payment of
the costs.
James Parks, of Bellefonte, arrest-
ed for larceny and carrying concealed
deadly weapons, was sentenced to
three months in the county jail and
warned that if he ever came before
the court again on a criminal charge
he would be given the maximum sen-
tence allowed by law.

BEAUTIES OF UNIONVILLE.
As Depicted by that Loquacious Gen-
tleman, J. Miles Kephart.
_ Unionville is a Quaker settlement
on the banks of the Bald Eagle creek
as it flows along the base of Muncy
mountain. It was incorporated into
a borough in 1859 by the Hickites, a
branch of the Quaker church which
included such families as the Hick-
lands, Underwoods, Fishers, Rich’s,
Griests, Russells and Cleves. The old
founders of the village are long since
sleeping in their ancestral tombs. On-
ly a few of their offspring are left.
Among them are Mrs. Thomas Fisher,
Miss Jennie Fisher, Dr. Russell and
wife and Budd Griest, wife and
daughter. The old meeting house and
the old seminary building are still
standing. The latter was quite a
prominent school at one time, espe-
cially under the supervision of such
teachers as Miss Cleaver and Miss
Wright, the latter now the wife of
Dr. Russell.
Unionville is a very active, beauti-
ful and pleasant village, and an
ideal place to live. There is a beauti-
ful view from the top of Muncy moun-
tain, but it is impossible to see the
houses of the village owing to the
dense foliage of the many shade trees.
The town is almost completely hidden
by the trees. The sun rarely reach-
es the streets, hence there is no dust
and the earth at all times is cool and
moist. It is a healthy location and
there is litle call for a resident phy-
sician.
The town has an abundant supply
of pure mountain water, supplied
through the splendid borough system
of mains and pipes. It has electricity
for lighting and power purposes, tele-
phones, good railroad service and
ample fire protection. Its stores are
large and attractive and well suplied
with anything and everything to sup-
ply the purchaser’s needs or desires.
The Bald Eagle Creek furnishes deep
water for boating, bathing and fish-
ing. Moonlight boatrides on its
placid waters and mountain climbing
are favorite amusements of the young
people.
The town is favorably located for
automobile excursions to State Col-
lege, Penn’s Cave, through the vari-
ous fertile valleys on the South Side,
down Bald Eagle valley to the Sus-
quehanna river or up the valley to
the blue Juniata, with shorter trips
over Muncy mountain into Buffalo
Run and Halfmoon valleys, north to
Dix Run and Rattlesnake Spring in
the foothills of the Allegheny moun-
tains, or over the mountains to Snow
Shoe and the coal mining district.
The waters of Rattlesnake Spring
above referred to are said to be pos-
sessed of health-restoring properties.
The Hotel Union, of which John
Holt is proprietor, is a credit to the
town. The kitchen is in control‘ of
a professional chef and the wants of
man are liberally supplied in the din-
ing room while there is ample accom-
modation for animals in the large
hotel barn. Landlord Holt and his
good wife make the admirable host
and hostess, always kind and consid-
erate of the wants of their guests.
The writer has been a summer guest
at this hotel and has passed the time
in supreme contentment, having every-
thing nice and comfortable, even lux-
urious, with all the good things to
eat that any person could wish for.
The town also has a well-equipped
restaurant, with a quick lunch coun-
ter, good schools and four churches
to look after the spiritual welfare of
the people of the town and commun-
ity.
As a little bit of history it might be
mentioned that in the year 1835 John
Smith, the celebrated Mormon elder,
on his trip from New York State tu
Ohio, tarried a few days at Unionville
and preached a sermon in the old log
church on Mormonism. Quite a
number of people came to Unionville
from Bellefonte and other places to
hear him.
In retrospect our life here is one of
perrenial bliss. We “eat, drink and
are merry,” and do not “die tomor-
row,” but live on in one of the
healthiest spots on the face of the
earth. We draw in full, deep breaths
of rich, pure air and thank God we
are alive. We pass hours in walks
along the banks of the Bald ffagle and
enjoy unrivalled views, forgetting for
the time the world’s contentions and
revolutions.

Two More Prisoners Escape.
Two prisoners made their escape
from the western penitentiary last
Friday afternoon. They were How-
ard Martin Keavin, sent up from Me-
Kean county for from three to four
years for breaking and entering with
intent to commit a felony. Keavin is
25 years old, five feet nine inches in
height and weighs about 138 pounds.
He was a trainman by occupation and
when he left the penitentiary was
dressed in jean trousers and a striped
shirt.
The other man was Thomas Gor-
man, aged 37 years, five feet six inch-
es tall and weighs 154 pounds. . He
wills sent up from ‘Erie- county ‘and
was serving a sentence of from two
vears and three months to five years
for larceny. He also wore jean
trousers and a striped shirt. Fifty
dollars reward will be paid for the
capture and return to the penitentiary
of each prisoner. :
Anent the escape of the above pris-
oners an automobile party stopped at
the Thomas Beaver farm to get water
for the radiator of the car, and the
man in the party stated that he had
seen a man along the road which he be-
lieved to be one of the prisoners, but
he made no effort to detain him. In
fact, he stated that his sympathies
were inclined to be with the prisoner.
The man was from Johnstown and in
qualifying his statement he said that
he worked for one of the big steel
companies in the Flood city, went
to work at 8 o’clock in the morning,
had an hour and a half off for dinner
and quit at 5 o’clock, and then char-
acterized that as equivalent to being
in the penitentiary. Of course he
gets two weeks off every year with
full pay and his wages are sufficient
to enable him to maintain a nice home
and keep up a good automobile.
Mr. Beaver told the man that if he
considered his job equivalent to being
in the penitentiary he ought to go to
farming. Then he would have to get
up and go to work at five o’clock in
the morning and work until dark if
he wanted to make a living.
