——The motion picture today is the
great attraction for old and young in
every town and city in the country,
and one great reason for their popu-
larity is the realistic nature of the
pictures. The very best of these pic-
tures are shown at the Scenic in Belle-
fonte six nights a week and that is
the reason why the Scenic enjoys such
a large patronage.

the people of Millheim two good turns
last week. He gave them a lecture
such as they never heard before and
because of his appearance they sold
$900 worth of tickets, and as his: bill
was just $300 they came out $600 to
the good. That is enough to make
most any community feel kindly to-
ward the Great Commoner.
—— Harry Diem was arrested at
Philipsburg last week and held in one

Kelley Bros. coal office in that city.
According to Walter Gherrity,
. who lives on the Pat Gherrity place
in the Seven mountains, deer never
were more plentiful in the mountains
than they are this year. In fact he
avers that they are more plentiful
than rabbits and some of them quite
tame. This will undoubtedly be good
news to the deer hunters, though
when the time comes it will probably
be just, as difficult to shoot a big buck
as it has been in years past.
—___AN the iron work for the new
railroad bridge over Spring creek,
south of the Pennsylvania passenger
station in this place, is now on the
. ground and it is quite likely the bridge
will be erected in the next few weeks,
so as'to have it in place before cold
weather sets in. The bridge will be
put together on temporary underpin-
ning alongside of the present bridge
and when everything is ready will be
moved into place on a Sunday when
no trains are run over the Lewisburg
branch.
, ——The Bellefonte Academy open-
ed its football season last Saturday by
playing the Altoona High school elev-
en and won'by the score of 33 to.0.
The Academy has some good material
this year and the management has
hopes of rounding out a winning
team. State College ‘also played its
opening game on Saturday with Muh-
lenberg on Beaver field, winning by
the score of 28 to 7. The visitor's only
score was made on a fumble by one of
the State players, and the showing
made by the State team in its initial
contest was entirely satisfactory to
the coaches.
PILOT F. A. ROBINSON KILLED.
Accident Happened Near Millersburg
on Monday Afternoon
Pilot Fred A. Robinson, of the
aerial mail service, was instantly kill-
1ed at Millersburg about three o’clock
berland Valley Telephone company
across the Susquehanna river and
hurled him into the stream. Pilot Rob-
inson left Hazlehurst field, N. Y., about
12:40 o’clock for Bellefonte in a D. H.
plane carrying sixteen bags of mail.
The weather was very bad. Not only
was it raining but the clouds were
dense and low and the pilot flew low
in order to keep his direction. All the
‘i pilots knew of the big cable over the
‘river at Millersburg and just how
' Robinson come to fly into it will never
i be known. Ordinarily the course of
| the pilots was about the middle of
! the river, which at that place is about
a mile wide. The big cable hangs
i quite low in the middle of the stream
so that it offers little danger to the
fliers. On Monday, however, pilot
Robinson kept pretty close along the
i
i
{ cable is naturally much higher, and
| the result was the landing gear of the
i plane caught the cable. The plane
| was thrown straight up about thirty
i feet then turned turtle and fell into
the waters of the Susquehanna river,
which at that place are only aboat
three feet deep. : RE
Several people saw the accident
and promptly organized a rescuing
force but it was half an hour before
they got the dead pilot from ‘he
wrecked plane and carried to the riv-
er bank. An examination of the body
disclosed the fact that the pilot was
most likely killed at the moment his
plane struck the cable, as the right
side of his forehead was crushed by
being thrown against the cowl of the
machine, and his neck was dislocated.
The party that rescued Robinson also
got all the mail out of the machine
and delivered it to the Millersburg
| postoffice.
On Tuesday morning manager Mor-
ris J. Kelly, of the Bellefonte field,
sent Charles E. Gates down to Mil-
lersburg to get an official report of
the accident and make arrangement
for caring for the body of the unfor-
tunate pilot. The trip was made with
Thomas Beaver in his car, who volan-
tarily offered to make the trip when
all efforts to secure another car were
without avail. Superintendent Smith,
{of the eastern district, aerial mail
| service, also went to Millersburg
from New York and assisted in the
final arrangements.
Pilot Robinson was about twenty-
four years old and since the tragic
deaths of pilots Miller and Stevens
was the third senior pilot in the
aerial mail service. He was not cnly
a daring flier but always exercised
good judgment and had one of the
‘ best records of any man in the serv-
‘ice. His home was in Redlands, Cal,
and the body, accompanied by pilot
Page, was sent there on Wednesday
for burial. :
Centre Countians in Stock Judging
Contests:
Seventeen year old Sara Rishel, of
Spring Mills, won the highest honors
in the stock-judging contest at the
Eastern States livestock exposition at
Springfield, Mass., last week, and two
young people of Pennsvalley were al-
so members of the winning team. The
Centre county team consisted of Miss
Rishel, Miss Sara Goodhart, aged 16
years, and Byron Decker, aged 18, all
of Spring Mills. The team‘took first
honors in the Guernsey butter judging
contest, second honors in general live-
| stock judging, third in the Holstein
| contest and fourth in the general dai-
ry class. The three young people
were awarded gold medals for their
team work while Miss Rishel was also
awarded a bronze medal for her indi-
vidual work. The Centre county team
won a first place in the stock judging
contest at State College in June, and
since that time had been coached by
State College specialists.
Ammerman Properties Sold, Vintena
Still on Hand.
The two properties of the Ammer-
man estate were sold at public sale on
Saturday but the stock of Vintena still
reposes in the basement of the brick
building which was sold with the right
4f storage reservation until the port
wine “patent medicine” can be legal-
ly disposed of: The big frame dwell-
ing house on the corner of -Bishop
street and Perry alley was sold to
Frank Davis for $3,000. Mr. Davis
will move into it this week, or as soon
as some very needful repairs are
made, and in addition to making it his
permanent abode will have a num-
ber of extra rooms to let to anyone
desiring same.
The brick building was purchased
by J. Kennedy Johnston for Ed. @&.
Cooke, who is moving back to Belle-
fonte from Baltimore. The price paid
was $4,550. Just what business Mr.
Cooke purposes engaging in has not
been divulged.
Auto Excursion.
The Centre county Farm Burgan,
co-operating with the Centre county
Farmer's Co-operative association,
has planned an auto excursion to at-
tend the Blair county Holstein Breed-
ers association’s consignment sale at
Altoona, Wednesday, October 6th.
Seventy-five Holsteins will be con-
signed to this sale. Everyone inter-
ested in Holsteins should plan to at-
tend. The excursion party will leave
Pine Grove Mills at '8 a. m. sharp.
Sale begins at 10 a. m.
on Monday afternoon, when his plane
caught on the big cable of the Cum-
! gastern bank of the river, where the
—The price of living must come
down is heard all over the country,
but so far there has been no neck-
breaking tumble of prices in Belle-
fonte. Of course last week a car load
of medium grade peaches was dispos-
ed of here at $4.00 the bushel basket,
while this week a car load of better
grade fruit went for $3.75, but that
price was about twice what they were
worth. :
— While in Bellefonte last Thurs-
day morning William Jennings Bry-
an was shown the trout in Spring
creek and watched them feed on raw
meat. The sight so impréssed him
that he stated that in all his travels
in this and other countries he had
never seen anything to equal it. Of
course the great Commoner only voic-
ed the sentiment of every other
stranger who comes to Bellefonte and
takes a look at the trout.
——Henry Ford saw the drift of
the times to lower prices so last week
deliberately took the bull by the horns
and announced large reductions in
the price of all Ford cars and Fordson
tractors. For details as to price re-
ductions, etc., see the large advertise-
ment of the Beatty Motor Co., of
Bellefonte, Ford distributors for Cen-
tre county, on page three of this issue
of the “Watchman.” If you have been

——While “Jim’s Girl” gave two
very good performances in the: opera
house last Thursday and Friday even-
ings, it had the misfortune of draw-
ing poor houses on both nights, and
the result was th
ed to quit the road and the company
left on the early train Saturday morn-
ing for New York. The show had
been on the road just two weeks and
although the performance was clever
and filled with cqmedy, it did not take
and the manager decided to quit while
the quitting was good.
——Non-property holders in Belle-
fonte were somewhat staggered the
past week on receiving their tax no-
tices for 1920 to discover that the
school tax had been increased to an
even five dollars. Heretofore one
gdollar was the maximum. Of course
the big increase in the pay-of school
teachers, under the Act of 1919, has
got to be taken care of in some way.
In addition to the above the property
tax for school purposes has been in-
creased from eighteen to twenty-one
mills, and the state appropriation un-
der the Woodruff salary bill increase
from $28,901 to $37,650.
i ——What may perhaps prove to be
| the most delightful session of the
| Woman's club for the coming year,
{ was held last Monday night, the first
Sof its méctimgs Sines Taye
! short business session, in which the
{ women were keenly interested after
their rest through the summer, fol-
lowed by a social session, enjoyed by
every one, due to the delightful music-
al program, rendered by Mr. and Mrs.
Blair, Mrs. Louis Schad and Nevin

High school, under the chairmanship
of Mrs. Charles Keichline.
Meek went to Milton on Monday, by
invitation of the tuberculosis commit-
tee, to assist in “boosting” the health
crusade now being introduced into the
public schools there on a more system-
atic plan than last year when it was
iried in only certain of the schools as
an experiment. On Tuesday, Eliza-
beth Meek talked to pupils in the
higher grades and, in the afternoon at
four o’clock, gave an illustrated lec-
teachers from all five schools.
Weston, in her role of health clown,
gave performances before the lower
grades, spending half a day in each
school so that she remained in Milton
until yesterday afterncon. There has
been a community nurse in Milton for
five years but her duties had become
so arduous that another nurse had to
be added to the service recently. An
infant welfare center, well and at-
tractively equipped, was opened for
free use 6f the community on Tuesday
and it was to celebrate and advertise
this important event that this week
was devoted to a health campaign.
——Last Wednesday afternoon
Miss Nan Hoy decided to go down to
the Hoy farm this side of Curtin and
as she neared the place she failed to
see the farm house looming up
through the trees as usual, and she
thought it rather singular. But she
was more astonished when she arriv-
ed at the place to find nothing but a
pile of smouldering ashes where the
farm house originally stood. The
farm is tenanted by Luther Brodbeck
and the threshers were there that
morning threshing out the season’s
crop. Shortly before the noon hour
fire broke out in the attic of the house
and with no means of fighting the
flames the building was burned to the
ground. The fire evidently originated
from a defective flue and as soon as
the flames were discovered the thresh-
ing crew and a crew of thirteen sec-
tion men at work on the railroad ran
to the house and were able to get out
every bit of furniture belonging to
the Brodbeck family, even to the lino-
leum on the kitchen floor. A small
two roomed building standing a little
distance from the house was not burn-
ed and the farmer’s family promptly
moved into it. The Misses Hoy car-
ried some insurance on the property
and immediate steps will be taken to
rebuild the house.

ny “a wedding breakfast was serv-
ed the bridal party at the Charles

Polly and Her Pals.
Distinctly different in every depart-
{ment of its production and staging
, from the usual cartoon musical come-
dy, is George M. Gatts’ offering, “Pol-
!ly and Her Pals” to be presented at
! the opera house, Bellefonte, Saturday,
! October 2nd, matinee and night. John
'p. Mulgrew, the author, brought
| Cliff Sterrett’s famous cartoons to
| life by writing a book in two acts and
four scenes that abound in original
wit, humor and perplexing situations,
for, “Polly” and her companions.
Hampton Durand, who has a number
of Broadway successes to his credit,
is responsible for the score and Harry
Hume wrote the dainty lyrics. Among
their latest compositions will be found
“In the Quaint’ Old Town of Algiers,”
“That Typical Topical Tune,” “What
a Wonderful Girl.You Are,” “An Old-
fashioned Bride” and “Different
Eyes.” Don’t fail to see this.
Simler Batcheler to Sell His Dairy
Herd.

herd, milking machines, electric mo-
tors, separators, milk bottles, cases
and the other equipment of a high-
class dairy barn.
Most of the herd are registered
Holstein-Fresian cows and heifers,
and are reported as being fine stock.
This may be a chance for dairymen
and farmers to inject some new and
' good blood into their stock.

Silk Mill Bonds Ready to Lift.
At a meeting of the-Business'Men’s
association on Wednesday. -evenin
‘Nelson E. Robb, bios > kh
ecutive committee, reported that the
silk mill bonds are now ready for d ™ -
livery to all those who have paid the..”
- subscriptions in full. All that is nec-
‘essary is to present the receipts of
payment at the Bellefonte Trust com-
pany and get the bonds. And those
| who have not yet paid in full are urg-
! ed to do so at once, as the money is
needed to make good Bellefonte’s
i pledge to the silk mill company. Mr.
, Robb further stated that’ as.a result
of a duplication at the time the can-
; vas for subscriptions, was made there
iis an error in the amount. of bonds
‘ subscribed for, Bellefonte being short
afew thousand dollars of its pledged
quota, and any one desiring to invest
‘in the bonds now that the silk mill is
so nearly completed should do so at
‘once. The bonds are first mortgage,
“six per cent., and of the value of five
hundred dollars.
Fred Weber is the Inventor.
Several weeks ago there was pub-
lished in these columns an article de-
| scriptive of an invention, the patent
for which is in process, of a Centre
‘ countian that is designed to revolu-
tionize the business of manufacturing
burial vaults. At the: time the
! “Watchman” described the invention
we directed attention to it as a possi-
: ble product for an industrial enter-
prise in the county. It may be recall-
ed that we did not give the name of
the inventor. At that time we were
not permitted to do so, but now we are
at liberty to announce that Mr. F. ™
Weber, of Boalsburg, is the man wud
conceived and has produced the vault.
If any one should be interested in its
manufacture and sale he will be glad
to have them communicate with him
concerning it.
