NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY
—A special meeting of the Logan
Fire company will be held next Tues-
day evening, at 8 o'clock. All mem-
bers are urged to attend.
—One industrial worker in Centre
county was fatally injured during the
month of July, according to a state-
ment issued by the Department of
Labor and Industry.
——In a seventy-five mile trip
through Centre and Huntingdon coun-
ties last Saturday the writer did not
see one poor field of corn, but he did
see many exceptionally fine ones And
the corn in Centre county is much
further advanced than in Huntingdon
county, where some fields are just be-
ginning to ear.
——The -Lehigh express from Ty-
rone to Lock Haven, last Thursday,
August 12th, had to stop at Mrs.
Belle M. Mattern’s farm at Julian to
avoid killing a number of Kyle Alex-
ander’s cattlé, which had strayed onto
her farm. Fourteen head of three-
year-old heifers and young cattle
were pasturing on her field.
Now that the big business
men’s picnic is a thing of the past
everybody will have time to prepare
for the Grange encampment at Centre
Hall, which is only three weeks away.
The long detour from Bellefonte to
Centre Hall will likely have some ef-
fect on the daily attendance from this
side of the mountain, especially
among those who generally motor ov-
er and back each day.
——The evenings are slowly but
surely growing longer and quite nat-
urally everybody turns to some place
of entertainment and amusement, and
one place in Bellefonte that can al-
ways be counted upon as fit for the
multitude is the Scenic. Nine people
out of every ten like moving pictures
and the Scenic is the place to see the
latest, biggest and best programs
shown in this part of the State.
——Some person or persons who
evidently had a sweet tooth and an
appetite for fancy canned fruit made
a raid on the larder of Mr. and Mrs.
George A. Beezer, of east Linn street,
last Saturday night while Mr. and
Mrs. Beezer were out calling. When
they returned home along about ten
o’clock they discovered the screen out
of the front parlor window and the
vindow up almost sash high. An in-
vestigation showed that someone had
been in the house and made a raid on
the pantry, carrying off a lot of sugar
and fancy canned goods. In fact, Mr.
and Mrs. Beezer estimate their loss
at from fifteen to twenty dollars.
While they have no idea who the
thieves were they incline to the belief
‘thatvboys «did the work, inasmuch as
all they took. was: sweets: of one kind
and another.
——Now that the sugar situation
has been relieved so far as quantity
has been concerned, if not the price,
the coal situation is looming up as
the big bugaboo to the long suffering
public. The price of all kinds of
coal really puts it in the luxury class,
notwithstanding the fact that it is one
of the absolute necessities, and even
at the high price there is every in-
dication that it is going to be scarce.
In fact thefe was not a car load of
coal all told in Bellefonte yards the
beginning of the week, but one of the
yards got a car of soft coal on Mon-
day and three cars of hard coal on
Tuesday, but orders have already been
booked for practically every pound of
it. The coal is not coming in fast
enough to permit the yards to accum-
ulate any surplus stock, and if such
a condition continues until winter sets
in the coal situation cannot help but
become critical.
——-Considerable excitement was
created at the intersection of Alle-
gheny and Bishop streets about 8:30
o’clock on Sunday evening by a col-
lision between an automobile and a
buggy in which were Tippy Cowher
and two young ladies. The first
knowledge the people of that section
had of the collision was when they
heard Tippy scream and naturally ev-
erybodv promptly rushed to the scene
expect.ng to find several people killed.
But the only damage done was to the
car, one of the fenders of which was
bent. The buggy was not damaged
in the least, but Tippy was talking a
blue streak to the driver of the car
and when the bystanders finally un-
raveled the story of the accident they
discovered that the autoist was not to
blame in the least, as he was in his
right position but Tippy had driven
right in front of the car while get-
ting out of the way of another car.
+ ——Somewhere near Hecla Park, |
the other evening, Edward R. Owens,
of the Bellefonte Hardware Co., had
the misfortune to break an axle on
his motor. Then along came the good
Samaritan in the person of George
Hazel who offered to tow him in to
Bellefonte. All went well until they
reached the “Three Hills,” where
George had to shift gears to haul his
tow up. The sudden change of power
was too much for the rear construc-
tion of the Hazel car so the differen-
tial and its housing were completely
wrecked by the strain. Later it was
discovered that Mr. Owen had his
brake on and it was probably this
that made the pull so destructive to
Mr. Hazel’s car. It was a Studebaker
and the advantage of owning a car
represented by a well managed local
agency never was more apparent than
it was then, for in two hours time the
Beozer Garage had Mr. Hazel’s car
fixed up and running smoothly as ev-
er.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE WINS.
Tennessee Ratified the Amendment on
Wednesday by Vote of 50 to 46.
The ratification of the woman suff-
rage amendment by the Legislature
of Tennessee by a vote of 50 to 46, on
Wednesday, made the thirty-sixth
State to ratify and thus assures the
women of the United States the ballot
this fall.
The only thing remaining to do is
to register all the women eligible to
vote, and this will be a stupendous
job, considering that it must be done
on or before the second day of Sep-
tember. That leaves twelve days in
which to do the work. As announced
in the Watchman several weeks ago
the Centre County Commissioners
have made all preparations for the
registration and as soon as they re-
ceive instructions from the Attorney
General of the State to proceed with
the work they will get busy. It is
quite likely that the job will be done
by the regular registration assessors
but they can be helped in their work
considerably if the women of the
county will book themselves in ad-
vance and be ready to respond
promptly to all questions asked. And
now, as last, after a fifty years’
struggle, the women have gotten
what they have been fighting for, and
there is no reason to doubt but that
they will exercise their right as fairly
and judicially as the average man.
Rumored Hold-up Near Lamar.
Word was received in Bellefonte
late Monday evening of a hold-up
down near Lamar and the state police
were requested to be on the lookout
for two young men in a Buick car
who were supposed to be the desper-
ate highwaymen. The police went
out to the forks of the road beyond
the aviation field but failed to spot
a car that answered the description
given.
According to reports from Lamar
the hold-up took place between nine
and ten o’clock on Monday night on
the road that runs in past the old
Central Railroad of Pennsylvania
station. It is alleged that a motor
party coming along the road sudden-
ly came upon another car across the
roadway in such a position that they
were compelled to stop. Naturally
they supposed it was motor trouble of
some kind and when they inquired
if they could render any assistance
two young men stepped up, and cov-
ering the occupants of the car with
revolvers, demanded their money.
But the picking was not very good,
as the amount secured, according to
the story, was only between six and
seven dollars. The young men then
made a getaway in their car, coming
up the road towards Bellefonte, and
it was because of this fact that the
state police here were notified.
‘It is also reported that two strange
fos men in a Buick car were seen
ni: Bellefonte - on Monday” sand," of
course; they are associated with-those
who committed the robbery, but as all
reports are rather indefinite we sim-
ply give them for what they are worth.

Bellefonte Young Men Purchase the
Meese Grocery.
Richard S. Brouse and Alfred Hev-
erly have purchased the John Meese
grocery and are now engaged in tak-
ing an inventory of the stock prepara-
tory to taking it over. The recent
death of J. Will Conley left the Meese
grocery without a manager, and the
family decided to sell the store as
soon as possible. Quite a number of
buyers were after it but the two men
mentioned above were the successful
purchasers.
Mr. Brouse has been the junior
member of the R. S. Brouse grocery
while Mr. Heverly has been associat-
ed with Claude Herr in the Herr &
Heverly store. Under the name of
the City Cash Grocery the new own-
ers will dispose of their stock of dry
goods and general merchandise and
convert the store into an up-to-date
grocery.
Recruiting for the Navy.
H. Levin, gunner’s mate first class,
has arrived in Bellefonte and will re-
main until the 27th instant. He has
many new offers to make to the young
men of the town and community, in-
cluding the big increase in pay. Non
rated men receive $48 per month,
first class non rated men, $52; petty
officers, 3rd class, $60; second class,
$72; first class, $84; chief petty officer
$126. The officer has a new supply
of victory buttons, which may be se-
cured by any ex-navy man by simply
producing his discharge. Mate Levin
is stopping at the Brockeroff house
and invites the young men to call and
see him.
Williams Family Reunion.
All arrangements have been com-
pleted for the Williams family reun-
ion to be held tomorrow (Saturday)
in the John Q. Miles’ grove at Martha.
The program will include speeches
by prominent men, baseball and oth-
er sports. The music will be furnish-
ed by Wetzler’s girls and boys band,
of Milesburg. All local trains on the
Bald Eagle Valley railroad will stop
at the grounds. Lunch and refresh-
ment stands on the grounds to supply
those who go without baskets. The
public is cordially invited.
——Word was received in Belle-
fonte this week by Mr. and Mrs. C.
C. Shuey of the birth of their second
grand daughter, Anna Margaret
Whiting, who was born in Louisville,
Ky, Sunday to Mr. and Mrs. Law-
rence D. Whiting. Mrs. Whiting be-
fore her marriage was Miss Anna
Shuey.
Williamsport Rotary Club Visited
Bellefonte.
Members of the Williamsport Rot-
ary club, with their friends, totalling
fifty-seven people, motored to Belle-
fonte on Wednesday and had luncheon
at the Bush house. After lunch-
eon several Bellefonte gentlemen
accompanied them on a trip to the
western penitentiary at Rockview
where they were shown the wonders
of that institution by warden John
Francies. About half of the party re-
turned to Williamsport while the oth-
ers went down through Pennsvalley
and the Narrows to Mifflinburg,
where they had supper before going
up the West Branch valley to Wil-
liamsport.
Among the Sick.
Mrs. George Blackford is so eritic-
ally ill at her home on Bishop
street that her daughter, Mrs. Grace
Keefer, has secured a leave of ab-
sence from the Potter-Hoy store and
is devoting all her time to looking
after her mother.
William Burnside was taken violent-
ly ill last Friday at the Newcomer
home on Curtin street, and his con-
dition for several days was so serious
that his friends were very much al-
armed as to the outcome, but yester-
day he was so decidedly improved
that his recovery is anticipated.
Mrs. Charles Moerschbacher was
quite badly injured early on Sunday
morning when she made a misstep
and fell down the stairway leading
to the cellar of the restaurant in the
McClain block. One of the waiters at
the restaurant had gone down into
the cellar for some vegetables and
naturally left the door open. Mrs.
Moerschbacher walked to the head of
the stairs and inadvertently stepped
too far and losing her balance, fell
down the stairway. Fears were at
first entertained that she was criti-
cally injured, but this, fortunately, is
not thought to be the case, and while
her condition has been serious enough
her recovery is anticipated. She was
unconscious for several hours after
the fall. While no one saw her fall
into the cellar way a large swelling
at the base of her skull would indi-
cate that she fell backwards and
struck her head.
Bellefonte Woman Loses $21,000 in
Bonds and Jewelry.
According to a dispatch from Balti-
more published in the Philadelphia
Press on Wednesday, Miss M. H.
Snyder, the well known milliner of
Bellefonte, lost $21,000 in bonds, bank
certificates and jewelry on Sunday
while going by motor from Milford,
Del., to Baltimore to visit her sister,
Mrs. Edward C. Cooke. According to
the story in the papers Miss Snyder
had a suitcase and another black bag
with her and as it happened the suit-
case containirig the botids and jewel-
ry was tied to the running board of
the car and in some way it came loose
and was lost, not being missed until
the party had almost reached Balti-'
more. And the irony of fate is that
Miss Snyder thought she had her val-
uables in the bag she had with her in:
the car and did not know differently
until she looked for them. The loss was
promptly reported to the police of
Baltimore and Milford, Delaware, but
aside from the fact that the officers
are chasing a rumor that an unknown
motor party was seen to pick up a
suitcase, which may have been Miss
Snyder’s, and take the road leading to
Rehoboth, nothing definite has been
learned of the missing suitcase.
Miss Snyder left Bellefonte about
three weeks ago to spend the balance
of the summer at Milford, Del., and
with her sister in Baltimore. Just
how she came to have her bonds and
jewelry with her is, of course, un-
known, but it is a big loss and her
many friends hope she may eventual-
ly recover her little fortune.
Through Aerial Mail Service Put in
Force on Tuesday.
Aerial mail service through from
New York to Chicago without stop-
ping at Bellefonte and Cleveland was
started on Tuesday with the Larsen
all metal monoplanes. Pilot Robinson
drove the first of these planes carry-
ing mail from New York to Chicago,
passing over Bellefonte at 9:30 a. m.
Just to show that he had no ill feeling
against his old friends here he sailed
low enough to wave his hands to the
men on the field. He got through to
Chicago the same evening. On the
other hand pilot Page, who left Chica-
go for New York, failed to get
through the same day. Just where he
was compelled to come down is not
known at this writing, but he did not
reach New York until 10:30 o’clock on
Wednesday morning.
Pilot Stevens left New York for
Chicago on Wednesday morning but
was compelled to come down in Belle-
fonte for a supply of gas, after being
in the air three hours and twenty min-
utes. Whether the through service
will be a success remains to be seen
after it has been given a thorough
try-out. The one thing that may be
against it is the length of time the
pilot is compelled to stay up in the
air, as the best flying time possible is
estimated at from nine to ten hours.
Naturally Bellefonte people are
wondering what will become of the lo-
cal aviation field in the event that the
through service can be etablished on
a sound basis, and of course, nobody
knows definitely what may result.
But for the present, at least, it will be
kept as an emergency field, for just
such occasions as that on Wednesday
morning when pilot Stevens was com-
pelted to come down for gas.

Auto Wreck Caused by Sting of
Bumblebee.
If you were driving an automobile
and a bumblebee stung you in the
face, would you let go of the wheel
and kill the bumblebee, or stick to
the wheel while the bumblebee was
getting in his work? Of course very
few drivers know what they would do,
but one driver, at least, tried the ex-
periment of letting go of the wheel
and he not only wrecked his car but
he and the man with him were more
or less injured, though fortunately not
seriously.
The accident happended last Thurs-
day afternoon. Two traveling men,
A. R. Bixby, of Scranton, and Wil-
liam M. Walters, of Pittsburgh, left
Lock Haven in the latter’s Ford car
to drive to Bellefonte. Down at La-
mar a bumblebee lit on Walters’ lip
and stung him. Walters let go of the
wheel to kill the bumblebee and the
car ran into the side of the big bridge
at that place. Bixby was thrown
through the windshield, sustaining
cuts on his chin, the back of his head
and both knees. Walters received
cuts on the chin and head from the
broken glass of the windshield. The
car was crumpled up like an accor-
dion. The two men were brought to
Bellefonte and had their injuries
dressed and after remaining here ov-
er night left by train on Friday morn-
ing. The wrecked car was towed to
Bellefonte for repairs.
Woman Injured in Auto Accident.
Mrs. Julia Sabo, wife of Steve
Sabo, who lives on the W.G. Runkle
farm in Boggs township, was badly
injured on Friday morning as the re-
sult of carelessness on the part of
some unknown autoist. Mrs. Sabo,
with her young son and daughter, had
driven to town with some farm pro-
duce in a one horse spring wagon.
She stopped in front of Parrish’s
drug store and a big truck pulled up
close behind her. Shortly afterward
a young man came along in a car,
bumped into the truck, and shoved it
against Mrs. Sabo’s wagon. The im-
pact frightened the horse with the
result that the animal gave a jump,
throwing Mrs. Sabo backwards out of
the vehicle onto the paved street. The
boy was also thrown out as well as
a large box in which they had brought
their produce to town. The horse ran
away, but the little girl, only about
twelve years old, crawled over the
seat, managed to get hold of the
lines and brought the animal to a
stop down at Humes’ corner, then
turned around and drove back to the
scene of the accident.
In the meantime Mrs. Sabo, who
had been rendered unconscious by her
fall, was picked up and carried into
the offices of Drs. Reed and Irwin.
There it was found that her right ear
was badly lacerated and her right
shoulder and arm badly sprained and
bruised, but fortunately, no bones
were broken. The boy was practical-
ly uninjured. Mr. Runkle took Mrs.
Sabo home Friday afternoon and no
serious results are anticipated.
The young man who caused the ac-
cident by his careless driving did not
stop to assist in any way, but got out
of town as quickly as possible. He is
believed to be a resident of Clearfield
and efforts are now being made to
learn his identity and, if successful, he
will be made to answer for his care-
lessness.
