and his many friends hope it will
prove but a transitory ailment and
that he will soon be able to be around
again.
——The opening attraction at the
opera house for the 1920 season looks
at this distance more like a detrac-
tion. In fact the company cannot
boast of a single redeeming feature
for its existence.
All members of the Logan fire
company who are interested in at-

Lewistown are requested to attend the
meeting of the company to be held on

—The first slight frosts last year
were noticeable on the 13th and 14th
of September. So far this year we
have escaped but every morning the
past week it has been so chilly that
only the heavy fogs have intervened
‘to keep the frost away.
Invitations have been issued by
Mrs. Joseph Bion Scott for the mar-
riage of her daughter Janet McCurdy,
to Mr. George Stephenson Denithorna
of Huntingdon. The wedding to take
place at twelve o’clock noon, in the
Presbyterian church of Bellefonte.
Picnic season is now at an end
but everybody must have a certain
amount of relaxation and amusement
all the time. The one place in Belle-
fonte where this can be had is in
watching the motion pictures at the
Scenic. Big programs every evening
and always something new. Be a reg-
ular and see all the good ones.
Walter McCullough has resign-
ed his position as superintendent of
state highways for Centre county, a
position he has filled the past year,
to accept a position as salesman for
the Beatty Motor company. Al-
though his successor has not yet been
appointed indications are that ex-
sheriff W. E. Hurley will be given the
place.
On Wednesday of last week the
friends and neighbors of grandmother
Mary Harper gave her a surprise
party on the ocasion of her eighty-
fourth birthday anniversary at the
home of her son, Gordon Harper, at
Fairbrook. A big dinner was a fea-
ture and on the table was a large cake
adorned with the big figures “84.”
Mrs. Harper received a large number
of useful! gifts as kindly remembran-
ces of her friends.
The Bellefonte public schools
opened on Tuesday with a full com-
plement of teachers and 258 pupils in
the High school and 554 in the grades.
The atendance shows a falling off in
the High school of fifteen pupils and
an increase in the grades of nineteen,
making the total attendance this vear
four more than last. While the at-
tendance in the High school is below
that of last year, the falling off is in
resident pupils, as the out of town
attendance is about as large as last
year.
The firm of Gehret & Lzmbert,
contractors and builders, has been
amicably dissolved by mutual consent,
Mr. Lambert retiring. This firm has
been engaged in the contracting bus-
iness a number of years and among
the monuments of their skill are the
remodeled court house and the big
Kelly garage, as well as many smaller
buildings in Bellefonte. = Of course
the dissolution does not mean that
the firm will go out of business, as
My. Gehret will continue the work in
the future.
After a prolonged siege with
pleurisy and pneumonia and the gen-
eral after effects of both diseases G.
Fred Musser has recovered to that ex-
tent that he is able to be out and
around, looking a little thin, it must
be admitted, but with an appetite
equal to most anything and enough
grit and determination left to for-
swear business yet awhile and con-
serve all his energies and strength in
recovering his former robust health.
Of course Fred’s friends are all glad
to see him so well along the road to
permanent recovery.
—In another column of this issue
is published the schedule of prices
now prevailing in the Bush House
restaurant. The proprietor offers to
Bellefonte people who are temporarily
inconvenienced in their own homes
the service of his splendid hotel and
especially directs attention to the
plate luncheon at 65cts. Comparing
the prices on the Bush House card
with those of a number of hotels of
the same class recently visited by the
writer we are justified in saying that
food is served cheaper here than at
many other Pennsylvania towns.
i
THE GRANGE ENCAMPMENT.
The Big Picnic at Centre Hall At-
tracted Many Campers and Large
Crowds Daily.
Probably the biggest thing at the
forty-seventh annual encampment and
fair at Centre Hall this week was the
list of permanent campers, evidencing
the fact that the grangers are a unit
in taking this one week in the year to
lay aside the cares and worries of
farm work and take a few days out-
ing. It not only affords their families
an opportunity of mingling socially
but offers the menfolk a chance to get
together and discuss farming meth-
ods from A to Z and then some. That
they take advantage of the occason
was demonstrated in the fact that ev-
ery one of the more than three hun-
dred tents on the ground was occu-
pied.
The line of exhibits included about
the average in stock and poultry, farm
machinery, etc. The fancy work de-
partment was well filled while the
space allotted to fruits and vegetables
was crowded to capacity. As this is
a good fruit year this exhibit was es-
pecially large and fine.
Sunday being free to all comers a
large crowd was on the grounds, but
Monday and Tuesday the transient at-
tendance was small.
The old soldiers reunion on Wed-
nesday naturally attracted a large
number of visitors while the crowd
yesterday was the largest of the week
by all odds. In the stock-judging
contest on Wednesday first prize was
awarded to Harry Bartges; second, to
Byron Beck; third, to Paul Bright;
fourth, to Randall Brungart, and
fifth to Mervin Miller.
The picnic will close today with
the usual cleanup sale of all farm
stock and machinery offered.

——The “Watchman” had hopes of
giving a full report this week of the
soldiers reunion at Grange park on
Wednesday but such are the uncertain-
ties of the mail between Centre Hall
and Bellefonte that notwithstanding
the fact that our correspondent mail-
ed the report on Wednesday evening it
had not reached this office up to the
hour of going to press. From other
sources, however, it was learned that
about twenty-five old soldiers were in
attendance, ranging in age from 73
to 91 years, the average being 80
years. The report of the secretary
showed that thirty-six members had
answered the long roll during the
past year. The speakers included,
Dr. E. E. Sparks and Hon. John Ham-
ilton, of State College; Rev. M. C.
Piper, Rev. S. C. Stover and Clement
Dale, Esq. All the old officers were
reelected and it was decided to hold
next year’s reunion at the same
place.

—Unless the Bell Telephone com-
pany of Pennsylvania removes a new
poie they have planted within the
curb line at the corner of Spring and
Logan streets, on what James I. Mec-
Clure claims as his property, and al-
so removes all wires that at present
cross his property, there is likely to
be some excitement on that corner
within the next week. Mr. McClure
some time ago posted a “no trespas-
sing” notice on the corner but not-
withstanding the warning the pole
was planted on his property, he as-
serts, and wires strung across his
property. On Monday he served a
written notice on the company to re-
move their pole and wires within ten
days or he will proceed to cut down
the same. Just what the result will
be remains to be seen, but it is quite
possible that the pole may be moved
just outside his line, which may ne-
cessitate tearing out the curbline put
in by the state highway people at that
point; and with the pole moved out
it will not be a difficult matter to run
the wires outside his property. And
while he is about it Mr. McClure has
decided to make a thorough cleanup
so has sent a similar notice to the
American Union Telephone company
and the State-Centre Electric com-
pany.
Burdine Butler Refused New Trial.
An opinion and decree of Judge
Henry C. Quigley, filed on Tuesday,
refused the motion for a new trial in
the case of the Howard township
school board against Burdine But-
ler and commanded the defendant
to appear for sentence.
The case was really one to test the!
vaccination law. Mr. Butler refused!
to have two of his children vacci- |
nated as required by law and the |
result was they were sent home from ;
school. Then action was brought |
against Mr. Butler under the com-
pulsory attendance act to compel him
to send his children to school. The
case was tried at the December term
of court, 1919, and Mr. Butler was
convicted. A motion was promptly
made for a new trial. The case was
argued in due time and the decision
orders Mr. Butler to appear for sen-
tence.
Mr. Butler, of course, has the right
of appeal to a higher court but it is
not yet known whether he will avail
himself of that right or not.
Secretary of War Baker to Visit
State College.
The Pennsylvania State College will
open for the school term next Wed-
nesday, September 15th, and an at-
traction announced for the opening
date will be a visit to the College of
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker.
The Secretary’s visit will be for the
purpose of outlining to the college au-
thorities the nature of the military
training to be conducted in connection
with the college during the ensuing
year. The very fact that the college
authorities have been compelled to re-
fuse admission to about one thousand
applicants is evidence that the attend-
ance this year will be up to the limit
of the facilities of that institution.

“Cappy Ricks.”
If you are numbered among the
two or three million people that read
the“Cappy Ricks” stories in the Sat-
urday Evening Post and chuckled over
the exploits of the lovable “Cappy,”
then you should be among those pres-
ent at the Garman opera house Rri-
day evening, September 17th, and see
all the delightful characters that will
present the most interesting comedy
that has been constructed out of the
merry tales by Edward E. Rose, the
dramatist. The cast is a notable one
and will be headed by that sterling
comedian, Henry Horton, who made
such an unqualified hit in “Eben
Holden.”
Holmes — Goddard. — Frank L.
Holmes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hamil
Holmes, and Miss Edith Florence
Goddard, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles E. Goddard, both of State
College, were united in marriage at
Wednesday of last week by Rev. Sam-
uel Martin, of the Presbyterian
church. J. Fred Holben played the
wedding march and the attendants
were Miss Mary Maloy and J. Horace
Holmes. Fifty guests were present
at the ceremony and the wedding din-
ner immediately afterwards. The
bridegroom is a world war veteran,
having served twenty-one months in
the Rainbow division overseas. At
the termination of a ten day’s wed-
ding trip Mr. and Mrs. Holmes will
take up their residence at State Col-
lege.
Practically 10,000 Women Registered
In Centre County.
While the complete returns from
the recent registration of the women
of Centre county are not quite all in
so that the number of votable age can
be given in precincts, the most of
them have been counted and they
show that all told there will be about
10,000 women voters in the county.
In fact sixty out of sixty-two pre-
cincts show just 9,874, and the two
precincts to hear from will probably
imcrease the number to 10,000.
Fifty-two out of the sixty-two pre-
cincts in the county show a total of
8,734 men voters, but as the ten un-
compiled precincts in 1919 had 1835
men voters it is quite probable the
total for the county this year will be
about 10,600, so that the men will lead
the women by only about 600 votes.
Of course, when it comes to the elec-
tion this fall it is more than probable
that a larger per cent of the men will
turn out to vote than of the women,
owing to the fact that many of them
will likely be a little timid at first,
while others will be utterly indiffer-
ent. At that, they will undoubtedly
succeed in marshalling a force suffi-
ciently large to make them a reckon-
ing in the result, and the candidate
who starts in early to court the favor
of the ladies will undoubtedly prove
the wise old owl on the night of Nov-
ember 2nd.
BS
Cows Pasturing in Union Cemetery.
Shades of the spirits of three Gov-
ernors, Senators, Congressmen, Judg-
es and many illustrious citizens sleep-
ing beneath the sod in the Union cem-
etery cows are now being pastured, or
at least have been pastured, in that
beautiful city of the dead, according
to the testimony of people living in
that vicinity and substantial evidence
found at various places throughout
God’s Acre. In fact many complaints
have lately been made by many lot
owners that the cemetery never be-
fore showed the lack of proper care as
it has done this year.
Lots are grown up in grass and
weeds almost knee high, and lots, the
owners of which have paid their mon-
ey to have them properly cared for.
Probably not in any small town ceme-
tery in Pennsylvania can be found the
graves of as many men who have at-
tained national and state distinction
as are grouped in the Union cemetery
in Bellefonte, and it has always been
a matter of pride to living members
of the old and well known families, as
well as people in general, to keep the
cemetery as neat looking and beauti-
ful as possible, but it is a poor con-
trast this summer to what it has been
in former years.
Not only do most of the graves look
unkempt and forlorn, but the drive-
way under the arch at the main en-
trance to the cemetery has every evi-
[dence of being used as a course for
pitching horseshoes and a general
playground for the children of the
neighborhood. The weather and the
scarcity of labor might be excuses for
allowing the cemetery to get in the
condition it is, but they are no excuse
for making a pasture field out of it.
George McElhattan Sent to the Pen-
itentiary.
At a special session of court held
last Friday afternoon, George McEl-
hattan, of Bellefonte, who plead guil-
ty to one of the most unnatural and
revolting of crimes, was sentenced to
not less than three and a half nor
more than four years in the western
penitentiary on two counts, or a total
of from seven to eight years. McEI-
hattan was taken to the Pittsburgh
institution on Saturday by sheriff
Harry Dukeman and James Rine.
Harry Irvin, of State College, who
was arrested at the same time as Me-
Elhattan and for the same offense, re-
fused to plead guilty, electing to stand
a trial by the jury at the September
term of court.
Judge Quigley continued the case of
Clarence Gross, arrested as a deserter
from the United States army, until
word can be received from the federal
authorities as to their wishes in the
matter.
Mrs. Mabel Shawley (nee Emel)
plead guilty to larceny and was sent
to jail for two months.

——All the business places in Belle-

celebration of Labor day, and then it

cerned. But notwithstanding the
weather, quite a number of people
journeyed to Hecla park to attend the
Nypen band picnic, of Lock Haven,
while a few went to Snow Shoe for the
big gathering at Moravian park.
