Usual Preparations Being Made for Big Gathering at Centre Hall Next Week. The 47th annual encampment and fair will open on Grange park, Centre Hall, September 4th and continue one week. Workmen have been busy for sever- al weeks making preparations for the great event, cleaning grounds and buildings, erecting tents and making numerous repairs where needed. The grounds and buildings are well lighted by a complete electric system and this year, in order to make that system even better, an additional transformer, for the auditorium alone, will be installed. Premiums will be paid on all live stock and prizes will be awarded on pure bred stock by competent judges. Farm boys and girls have been in- vited to take part in stock-judging contests which have been arranged by the county Farm Agent. Prizes will be given the winners. Competitive games between Grang- es, communities and teams are being planned for a day by Mr. Bressler, of State College, the lecturer of Centre county Pomona Grange. State College will have an exhibit of its own and lectures and demon- strations on important farm and household topics will be given daily. The State Health Department will have a representative on the ground, who will give valuable information along health lines. The Red Cross will be represented and impress upon the people its value in times of peace as well as war. On Wednesday the Centre county Veteran club will hold its annual re- union on the park grounds. Every effort will be made to make it a day of pleasure to the members and their friends. No admission will be charg- ed the veterans on that day. Speakers of note will be heard in the auditor- ium during the day. Thursday will be Grange day, and all Grangers are urged to hear the speakers so that they can receive the benefit to be derived from the discus- sions of subjects so important to them. Again, the farmers and fruit grow- ers are urged to make this the largest and best exhibit the county has ever had. Cash prizes will be given in this department for the first time in addi- tion to ribbons. 2.s usual, ten cents will be paid for every article of real worth. Take the interesting articles you value for their age or beauty and your new needle work as well as old. Ten cents will be paid for articles never before exhibited in that department. Automobiles, tractors and all kinds of farm machinery will be shown in larger numbers than ever before. Moving pictures and amusements of all kinds will be provided to please everybody. There will be excursion rates on the railroads within 75 miles of Centre Hall. . Special trains will be run on Wed- nesday and Thursday. Answers to Health School Questions. Question 1—How can decay in teeth be prevented ? Answer—By cleaning them after eating. Question 2—What diseases’ may be caused by decayed teeth? Answer—Rheumatism, heart dis- ease and many other crippling forms of sickness. . Question 3—What School Boards take? Answer—Employ trained women to clean teeth and map out conditions requiring the care of a dentist. “Measles” the subject of the next lesson, is one of the common dis- eases of childhood and as a rule, is little feared. > All told Pennsylvania had 45,710 cases of measles last year; 474 died. Broncho-pneumonia, tuberculosis and other distressing after effects fre- quently follow in the wake of measles. The disease is most transmissible in its early stages, hence the neces- sity for an early recognition and quarantine. action should | TATE.—Potter J. Tate, a life-long | i resident of Spring township, died at his home at Pleasant Gap at 12.30 o’clock last Friday afternoon as the result of a stroke of paralysis sus- | tained on August 4th. Deceased was a son of John and -Martha Tate and was born at Pleasant Gap, his age at death being 72 years, 2 months and 5 days. When a young man he learned the carpenter trade an occupation he followed all his life. When the Civil war broke out he en- listed as a private in the 210th Penn- sylvania volunteers and served with bravery and distinction throughout the four years struggle. Returning from the war he resumed his work as a carpenter and in 1870 he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Tib- bens. They went to housekeeping at the Gap and that had been his home ever since. Mr. Tate was a member of Gregg Post No. 95, G. A. R., of Belle- fonte, and the P. O. S. of A. of Pleas- ant Gap. Surviving him are his wife and the following children: Mrs. O. C. Camp- bell, of Barnesboro; Mrs. Stella M. Lampert, of Pleasant Gap; S. Roy Tate, of Independence, Iowa; Miss Verda E. Tate, Pleasant Gap; Harry, of Florida, and James M., with the American army of occupation at Cob- lenz, Germany. Funeral services were held at his late home at 2.30 o’clock on Monday afternoon. Rev. M. C. Piper officiat- ed and was assisted by chaplain T. W. Young. A delegation of Gregg Post and the P. O. S. of A. attended, the G. A. R. having had charge of the burial services in the Lutheran ceme- tery at the Gap | I! LOVE. Following an illness that dated back almost two years when he had an attack of the flu Oliver Kerr Love died at 4.30 o'clock last Friday afternoon at the home of his daugh- ter, Mrs. Henry Shuey, at Pleasant Gap. He had been confined to bed the past fiftecn weeks. Deceased was a son of John and Mary Kerr Love and was bornin Pot- ter township, being 81 years, 2 months and 30 days old. In his early life he followed farming in the neighborhood of Tusseyville but since the death of his wife many years ago he made his home with his daughter. Surviving him are five children, namely: Mrs. Charles Whitehill, of Oak Hall; Mrs. Henry Shuey, of Pleasant Gap; Mrs. Bert Hartman, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Wesley Tate, of Pleasant Gap, and Mrs. Charles Mayes, of Milton. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. John Orb- ison, of Sydney, Ohio, one half-broth- er and three half-sisters: James H. Love, of Peotone, Ill.; Mrs. Jennie Ruble, Greensburg; Mrs. William Martz, Tusseyville, and Miss Florence W. Love, of Bellefonte. Mr. Love was a life-long member of the Evangelical church and dur- ing his active life a faithful worker in both the church and Sunday school. The funeral was held at 1.30 o’clock on Sunday afternoon. After brief services at the Shuey home the re- mains were taken to the Zion Hill church, near Tusseyville, where ser- vices were held by Rev. M. C. Piper, after which burial was made in the Zion Hill cemetery. | J SCHLOTTMAN.— Robert Schlott- man, a former resident of Pleasant Gap, died last Thursday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George Hazel, in Greensburg, as the result of in- juries sustained in a fall some weeks ago. When he met with the acci- dent he was taken to the Greensburg hospital where it was found that he had suffered a fracture of the thigh bone. He spent a month in the hos- pital, then was removed to the home of his daughter where he passed away. Deceased was seventy-seven years old and was born and raised in Sny- der county. Later he moved to Pleas- ant Gap where he lived for many vears. He was a soldier of the Civil war, having served in Company F, 56th Pennsylvania volunteers. His wife died a number of years ago but surviving him are three children: Mrs. George Hazel, of Greensburg; Mrs. George Johnson, of Bellefonte, and Ambrose, of Lock Haven. He al- so leaves one brother, Daniel Schlott- man, of Pleasant Gap, and a half- brother, Samuel Wise, of Spring Mills. The remains were brought to Belle- fonte on Saturday afternoon and tak- en direct to Pleasant Gap where ser- vices were held by Rev. C. C. Shuey, burial being made in the Lutheran cemetery. A Il ANGSTADT.—John Angstadt, who lived on the mountain above Pleasant Gap, was stricken with apoplexy on Tuesday of last week and died on Wednesday. Burial was made at Centre Hall on Friday. State Highway Announcement. Last Friday night, while en route from Philipsburg to Bellefonte in his large International truck, Nathan Ichkowitz, of Bellefonte, ran through the barricade erected by the State Highway Department at Snow Shoe Intersection, and ran up onto the green concrete. As a result the Vi- pond Construction company, of Altoo- na, which has the contract for build- ing the state road between Milesburg and Gum Stump, suffered damage to the extent of fifty dollars, which was paid by Mr. Ichkowitz. That gentle- man also paid a fine of ten dollars for breaking through the barricade and disregarding all notices. The Highway Department wishes to announce that it proposes protect- ing all contractors in the future, and any persons disregarding such notices, or breaking through barricades, will be dealth with accordingly. r————— ly ————— ——Subscribe for the “Watchman.” — * Come On and Help Us. On the 15th of September the Watchman will have to draw a check for $2040.00 for paper. In the average country newspaper office that’s an awful pile of money and this one is no exception. The price of the white paper on which the Watchman is being printed is now a trifle more than our subscribers are paying for the printed sheet we mail them. In other words we are editing, setting up, printing and mailing the Watchman to you for less money than we are paying the mill for the paper. We can’t do this long, but we have been struggling hard to keep it up with the hope that paper prices will fall before the sheriff gets us or we have to boost subscription rates in the effort to stall him off. But to get back to the point. In fifteen days we will have to have $2040.00. It is needless to say we don’t have it now. It is standing on our subscripion list, however, and we wan’t those whose subscription is not paid up to 1921 to come to our rescue. It won’t be much from any individual; probably only $1.50 and in a few cases a trifle more. Won't you look at the label on this paper right now, and if the year figures don’t appear as 21 or ’22 after your name and the month, sit right down and send us a check or money order for $1.50 for each year that intervenes between the year figure on your label and 1921. For illustration: Suppose your label reads: John Doe Sept 15-19. To Sept. 15-1921, you would owe two, years or $3.00. It will cost two cents and no end of time to send each one of you a bill. send a receipt. Then it would cost two cents more and much more time to So please don’t ask us to do either. We are actually losing money now in sending you the paper for $1.50 and surely you will help out by not insisting on a bill or receipt. Make a memoranda of what your label reads now and then if it does not change within a month after you have remitted write us. once a month. We correct the list' only Won't you try and consider this call in the spirit in which it is issued and send us your remittance, if you are not paid up to 1921, at once. We are not crying wolf. sufficient funds. We are up against meeting a bill without THE DEMOCRATIC WATCHMAN by Geo. BR Meek. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANAANAAANS AAAS APP AAP APA AAS Director Foust on Cider Making. Farmers in Pennsylvania who grow their own apples, may make their apples into cider and hold this cider until it has fermented into cider vine- gar without securing any kind of a license or permit from the federal prohibition authorities. This information is contained in a letter to director James Foust, of the bureau of foods, Pennsylvania Depait- ment of Agriculture, from John F. Kramer, of Washington, D. C., pro- hibition commissioner for the United States. Recently a number of technical and confusing rulings on the cider situa- tion were issued from the prohibition enforcement offices at Washington. These rulings were confusing to the farmers and in many sections of Penn- sylvania farmers were permitting their apples to rot on the ground, rather than take chances of running afoul of the prohibition laws by mak- ing cider for vinegar purposes, be- ing under the impression that it was necessary to secure a license or per- mit. Director Foust in calling on the farmers of the State to make their surplus apples into cider vinegar, points out that by making the apples into cider and storing this cider away on their own premises until it becomes vinegar they may realize a good profit and run no risk whatever of violating the prohibition laws. The farmer may do this without securing a permit of any kind. In selling sweet cider, the farmer runs a chance of selling a beverage containing more than one-half of one per cent. of alcohol, in which case he is liable to fine and imprisonment. By holding his cider until it is vine- gar, according to director Foust, he runs absolutely no risk and secures an excellent return for his fruit and labors. Livestock Judging Contest. The Centre county farm bureau will conduct a livestock judging con- test for boys and girls at the Grang- er’s encampment and fair at Centre Hall on Wednesday, September 8th. The contest will begin at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. All boys and girls between the age of 12 and 21 are eligible for the contest. This is a splendid opportuuity to gain experience in judging livestock, and every boy or girl who can pos- sibly arrange to be at the fair should enter the contest. All boys or girls who judge in this contest will be eli- gible to judge in the inter-county con- test at State College next June. As a result of the contest at State College last June Centre county will send a judging team to compete in the judging contest at the Eastern States exposition at Springfield, Mass. The result of this contest will largely determine the teams that will com- pete at State College next June. Be sure to register with county agent, J. N. Robinson before 10.00 a. m. on Wednesday, September 8th. Prizes will. be awarded to the boys or girls making the highest scores. Killed at Centre County Lime Quarry. John Fogleman, a well known resi- dent of Buffalo Run valley, fell from one of the quarry cars at the Centre County Lime company’s plant yester- day morning, was run over by the car and injured so badly that he died shortly afterwards. A peculiar coin- cidence is the fact that his horse fell over an embankment the day previous and was killed. —Enforce the Traffic Ordinance or repeal it. Little Girl Hurt by Automobile. Lena Bent, the little three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James G. Bent, of Spring street, was hit by an automobile on the crossing near the Centre county bank on Monday even- ing, knocked down and painfully in- jured; those who saw the accident de- claring that it was simply a miracle that she was not killed. The little girl was following her sister across the street. The elder girl was a little distance ahead of the child and see- ing the automobile coming down High street called to her little sister to wait until it passed. The child, how- ever, either did not hear her sister’s call or else attempted to run across ahead of the machine, but the latter | was too close and she was struck by | the fender and knocked down. A half dozen or more people saw the accident and while some stoutly maintain that the front wheel of the machine passed over the child others just as positively declare that it did not. That while the little girl was thrown down in front of the wheel she was not run over but merely pushed along the ground a short distance. The little girl was picked up as care- fully as possible and carried the short distance to her home and a physician summoned. At first it was feared that several ribs were fractured and the child injured internally but the developments since indicate no very serious injury. A young man by the name of Hev- erly was driving the car and he was running very slow, as he stopped his car within the length of itself after hitting the child. While in this case the driver is hardly to blame for the accident, many automobilists are too prone to take the view that it is the man, woman or child on foot that should look out for the automobile, when as a matter of fact the pedes- trian has the absolute right of way on a crossing. A Centre County Man Has an Inven- tion to Exploit. The Watchman has information to the effect that a well known mechanic in the southern part of the county has secured patents on an invention that may prove of great commercial value as well as otherwise. It is a metallic burial vault so con- structed as to meet every advantage of the slate, masonry or concrete vault and at the same time can be produced much cheaper, handled more easily and be available in any emer- gency and under any weather condi- tions. A burial vault is something that most of us will have sooner or later. As is well known slate ones are not easily obtainable, those of concrete are not generally made SO that a market might be easily created for just such an inven- tion as is here reported. We are in position to put the local business men’s association or any others who might be interested in pro- moting this invention in touch with its inventor. . ——The Bellefonte police are lay- ing for the man who has been throw- ing the “no parking” signs on South Water street into the creek. The first night the signs were put up one was thrown into the creek and again on Saturday night another was thrown in. If the identity of the man who did the throwing can be learned he will have to come up with a pretty stiff fine, at least. South Water street is too narrow a thor- oughfare to permit the indiscriminate parking of cars thereon, as it creates a situation extremely dangerous, and ’hat is the reason of the “no parking” signs. | she returned home. Chamber of Commerce Organized at State College. A Chamber of Commerce in which the students of the Pennsylvania State College will have an active part with representation on the board of directors, was organized at State College on Wednesday night when over one hundred promi- nent State College citizens and col- lege officials turned out for that pur- pose. The organization of the Cham- ber of Commerce of State College has been under way for the past three months and the charter members are very enthusiastic over the possibili- ties for such a body in this growing town. Membership in the organization will be open to students as well as faculty members of the college, and business men of the town. The con- situation adopted that night calls for a directing board of five, two from the town, two from the college and one from the student body to be chosen by the student council, lower branch of the student government organization. The students will select their director after the opening of college on Sep- tember 15, and the election that night resulted in R. H. Smith, college con- troller, and Dr. C. W. Stoddard, dean of the School of Liberal Arts, being i chosen director from the faculty and | administrative body of the college, and J. B. Heberling and R. D. Gilli- land, prominent merchants from the town. Dr. E. E. Sparks, former president of Penn State, and a member of the State Chamber of Commerce, was present at the organization meeting, and told of many ways in which the State College chamber could be of | great benefit to both the town and the College. One of the first moves of the new chamber will be in the direction of securing outside interest in build- ing operations in the town. The first annual meeting will be held October 5th. Horse Eats Dollar Bills. Don’t flirt your money under the nose of a horse if you don’t want to lose your money. At least that is the way one Bellefonte boy feels about it. The lad in question is along about ten or twelve years old. He came down Allegheny street Friday after- noon idly flipping two one dollar bills which his mother had evidently given him to do some shopping for her. A farmer’s horse was hitched to a post in front of Hazel’s grocery. The boy walked up in front of the horse and brushed the bills across the ani- mal’s nose. The horse evidently got a whiff of the bills and they smelled good to him. The boy evidently thought it splendid fun to tickle the horse’s nose with his money, so he tried it again. But the horse was | not asleep this’ time, and when the | boy stuck the bills under his nose the ! second time the horse simply opened his mouth and took theft in. act on the part of the horse so as- tonished the boy that for a few sec- onds he was speechless, and when he realized what had happened he very lustily cried: “Whoa,” “back up,” and all the horse talk he knew but the horse didn’t even “cough up;” in fact he munched the bills and swallowed them, and when the boy realized this fact he started on a run out the street screaming and crying, and we just wonder what explanation he gave his mother for the loss of the money. Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Simcox. Last Saturday’s Altoona Times- Tribune devoted two columns to tell- ing the life history of Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Simcox, who lives in a two- story log house in Simcox’s Hollow, Clinton county. She is now seventy- eight years of age and was born down at Curtin, this county. Her parents were John and Lovey Anna Peese, her four brothers and two sisters being Thomas Peese, of Coleville; James, of Lock Haven; Andrew, of New York; John, of Milesburg; Mrs. Belle Bak- er, of Jersey Shore, and Mrs. Edith Crawford, of Altoona. Mrs. Simcox was married twice, her first husband being Andrew Boyer, who died in An- dersonville prison during the Civil war, having been taken prisoner while serving his third enlistment. During his first term of service he was wounded and his wife went south and not only nursed him to recovery but stayed with the army as a nurse until it was ordered forward when Later she mar- ried Samuel Simcox, who is also dead and gone. Mrs. Simecox’s last visit to Bellefonte was on the occasion of the funeral of the late General James A. Beaver, of whom she was a great admirer. : Rev. Babcock Now at State College. Rev. H. F. Babcock, who has been located at Stormstown since the spring of 1917, will preach his fare- well sermons in the Methodist church- es of his old charge on Sunday. Rev. and Mrs. Babcock moved last week to State Collége where Rev. Babcock will be pastor J. W. Long’s assistant and do special work at the college leading up to a degree. He will also be the student pastor working under the centenary or Wesley Foundation. Sree reer mean oti ——Among the teachers in the Al- toona schools this year will be three from Centre county, as follows: Miss Mabel M. Vonada, of Madisonburg; Miss Esther Dudley, of Blanchard, and Miss Mayme C.
