The Bellefonte Academy foot-
ball team defeated the Bucknell re-
serves last Saturday morning by the
score of 183 to 0, and on Saturday
evening the student body gave a pov-
erty parade through the streets of the
town. The boys paid friendly visits to
various places in town and attracted
considerable attention as they march-
ed up and down and along the princi-
pal streets, displaying their hobo
clothes and numerous sets of spindly
shanks, with very few prize takers in
the whole lot.
On Saturday six men from the
armory at Harrisburg came to Belle-
fonte and early Sunday morning left

machine gun unit for the state
capital. The equipment included the
big baggage truck, three machine gun
trucks and a motorcycle with side car,
as well as guns, ete. All the stuff
was taken down to the state armory.
This cleaned out the armory of all the
belongings of the old machine gun
unit and is preliminary to the issue of
a number of horses to Troop L for
drilling purposes.
Quite a number of farmers at-
tended the potato digging demonstra-

the purpose being to show the differ-
ence in yield between potatoes thor-
oughly sprayed and those on which no
spray had been used, and according to

equals 188 bushels to the acre. Mr.
White, it is claimed, is digging 340
bushels to the acre of sprayed pota-
toes, while his unsprayed showed a
yield of 152 bushels. This difference
is enough to make every farmer sit up
.it being the first annual alumni day
and take notice.
A Very Creditable Performance by
the Patriotic Lague.
Wednesday evening members of the
Patriotic League scored a success and
went far towards establishing a repu-
tation for excellence in home-talent
performances in “The Train to Mor-
row” and “The Forest Princess;” the
former a one-act farce with an all-
star cast—Miss Anna Shaughnessy,
Daniel Clemson and Cecil Walker; the
latter, a masque with sixteen leading
characters supported by solo dances
and a ballet as tree spirits, peasants,
shepherds, vine dressers, lords and
ladies.
For grace and beauty the “support”
could not be excelled by many profes-
sional ballets and especially attract-
ive and beautiful were the dances of
tree spirits and peasants. For these,
there could scarcely be criticism and
great credit goes to both directors of
dancing and music. In dramatics,
the characters were all well-taken for
amateurs, some of course, excelling
others in merit. Miss Emily Valen-
tine as Swamp Oak, the witch, drew
much applause but her experience in
former home-talent plays gave her
advantage over younger, less exper-
ienced members of the cast. These
were all good, however,—lovely
enough, every one of them, to win an
audience but lacking voice and deliv-
ery to draw forth enthusiasm that
should otherwise have been forthcom-
ing.
The entertainment was given under
the following organization: Directors
of music, Mrs. Lewis Schad, Mrs Rus-
sell Blair; director of dancing, Mrs.
Robert Walker; directors of dramat-
ics, Mrs. Robert Mills Beach, Mrs.
Charles D. Casebeer.
The attendance was not what its
worth deserved nor the benefit for
which it was given—the Anna How-
ard Shaw Memorial, which is to take
the form of a department of Political
Science in Bryn Mawr College, but at
that the total receipts were $169.10
and the memorial benefit will receive
as its portion $3126.83.
Banner Crowd Saw Penn State Defeat
Dartmouth.
The 14 to 7 victory of the Penn
State football team over Dartmouth,
on Beaver field at State College last
Sawurday, is now ancient history but
the contest and the additional fact of
had the effect of drawing to the Col-
lege one of the largest crowds that
has ever been seen there. And there
is no doubt but that everybody was
wel! cntertained with the poverty pa-
rade of the students, the Bellefonte |
High and State College High school |
football game as a preliminary, then |
the big game between State and Dart-
mouth.
But the “home-coming” of so many |
of he old students and the visit of |
Governor Sproul will probably result |
in the greatest amount of good to the
Coliege. The old grads pledged $31,- |
000 toward a fund of $100,000 for the |
erection of a new track house or per- |
manent home for all the athletic stu-
dents while the Governor virtually |
pledged everything in sight and many |
things unseen. In fact if the College i
gets anyways near what its friends |
intimated it should have two years
from now it will not be compelled to
turn away a thousand boys and girls
because of insufficient accommoda- |
tions. It might be interesting to note |
that this was the Governor’s first vis- |
it to the College as the chief execu-
tive of the Commonwealth and only!
the second time he ever visited the
Centre county institution, The first
time was thirty years ago as a mem- |
ber of the Swathmore football team.
That was back in the days when Aull
and Hildebrand were two stars on the
State team, but the rules of the game
are different now.
Tomorrow State will play the Uni-
versity of North Carolina on Beaver
field, and it, too, should be a game |
worth seeing. {

. Two Barns Burned.
Just about three o’clock last Satur-
day afternoon the barn on the old
Conrad Miller farm on the Jackson-
ville road, now owned by Dr. J. M.
Brockerhoff, was discovered to be on
fire and the flames spread so rapidly
that it was impossible to make a fight
against them and the building and
contents were burned to the ground.
The farm is tenanted by William
Young and in addition to all the sea-
son’s crops he lost all of his farm
machinery and one sow. Mr. Young |
carried $3,000 insurance on his stock, |
implements, and his share of the
crops while Dr. Brockerhoff carried
insurance on the barn and his share of
the crops, though in neither instance
will the insurance cover the loss.
The barn on the old Emanuel Roan
farm along the mountain in Buffalo
Run valley, now owned by the Cam-
bria Steel company, was struck by
lightning during the electrical storm
on Monday night and burned to the
ground with its entire contents of the
year’s crops. The farm is tenanted by
E. A. Peters and all his farming im-
plements were also burned, but fortu-
nately none of his livestock. The
storm occurred between twelve and
one o'clock at night and Mr. Peters
heard the sharp crash of lightning and
got out of bed to seeif it had struck
anyways near and was dumbfounded
to see the one end of his barn all
ablaze. He hastily dressed and ran
out and cut the halter straps of two
horses in the barn and got them out
safely. All his other stock was in the
pasture field. Mr. Peters’ loss will
foot up to $5000, with $3500 insur-
ance,

——Chester Barnes, son of Mrs.
Howard Barnes, of Bishop street, and
who now holds the position of princi-
pal of schools at Norristown, Pa., has
been offered the post of director of
superior school and pedagogical sci-
ence in Peru at a salary of $6,000 a
year. Mr. Barnes is a graduate of the
University of Pennsylvania, having
taken the honors of his class. So far
as known he has not yet decided as to
the acceptance or rejection of the of-
fer.
——Coming home from Millheim
last Thursday night Robert F. Hunter
had a rather narrow escape when he
ran into the creek at Condotown where
a bridge had been torn out during the
day. Workmen claim that two sig-
nal lights had been placed there in the
evening but one of them had burned
out and when Mr. Hunter came along
he naturally did not expect that the
bridge had been torn out. The result
was he plunged into the creek, a drop
of about five feet. Fortunately he
was uninjured and his car very little
damaged.
——This evidently is a poor season
for the traveling show, and the result
is just seven shows that were booked
for appearance at the Garman theatre '
have cancelled their contracts and
gone off the road. But the motion
picture shows can be seen at the Scen-
ic every night in the week except Sun-
day. While motion picture releases
have increased in price they have not
gone beyond the ability of manager
T. Clayton Brown to give his patrons
the best that can be had at all times.
In fact every evening’s pictures are
worth seeing.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of
the Bellefonte Chapter of the D. A. R.
will be celebrated here, at the home of
Mrs. Hastings, on Thursday, October
28th. Many well known women of
Pennsylvania, including state and na-
tional officers and regents of adjoin-
ing Chapters, will be among the
guests, the entertainment of whom
will be in the hands. of the charter
members. This Chapter has been es-
pecially honored in having three state
regents, Mrs. Edwin Erle Sparks, in
office at the present time; Miss Helen
E. C. Overton and Mrs. W. F. Reeder,
both honorary regents.
D. D. Treon, a former express
messenger on the Lewisburg railroad,
was put on trial in court at Sunbury
last week on the charge of larceny,
the indictment setting forth that at
divers times between May, 1919, and
March, 1920, he had purloined from
the express car certain fruits, one
pair of men’s shoes, thirty packages
of cigarettes, three pairs of socks,
sixteen pounds
of the Commonwealth the defendant’s
attorney requested the court to direct
a verdict of not guilty on the grounds
that the Commonwealth had failed to
show that the larceny had been com-
mitted in Northumberland county and
the court was therefore without juris-
diction, and the court so directed.
Mr. and Mrs. L. H. DIiusser,
who have decided to spend the winter
on their farm near Beech Creek, have
rented their home on Spring street,
furnished, to Mrs. Frank H. Clemson,
who with her son, Frank Jr., will come
from the farm up Buffalo Run, about
the first of November and spend the
winter here, Mrs. Clemson’s son Dan-
iel, also making his home with them
during the winter. Miss Mary Mus-
ser will retain her own room in the
house and stay in Bellefonte. The
Clemson family, by the way, is pretty
well scattered at the present time,
Mr. Clemson and son Fred being with
the Leathers Bros., at Allentown;
George in Altoona, and Miss Mary at
State College, and it is principally be-
cause of this fact that Mrs. Clemson
is coming to town for the winter.

— Four hundred and twenty-eight
years ago on Tuesday an Italian
named Christopher Columbus discov-
ered America and just because of this
fact the banks of Bellefonte took a
holiday on Tuesday. Of course when
old Christopher set sail from Spain
during the summer of 1492 and head-
ed west he had hopes of striking land
somewhere, and all he had to do to
discover America was to keep on sail-
ing, because as the English tourist
traveling in this country once upon a
time said, “He couldn’t jolly well
miss it.” In these days of greyhounds
of the sea it wouldn’t be much trouble
to find a country the size of this. Just
the same we're glad Christopher
found us when he did because it gave
us time to grow into what we are
now, and also gave an excuse for
another holiday.
——The Bellefonte Academy foot-
ball eleven has defeated every oppo-
nent thus far this year and has not
even been scored against. To-morrow
(Saturday) at 2:15 p. m., the Carne-
gie Tech reserves of Pittsburgh will
be the Academy’s opponents on
Hughes field and the contest should
prove a battle royal. The fans who
saw the Academy defeat Bucknell re-
serves last Saturday have confidence
in the boys from the Hill and expect
them to defeat the very strong eleven
from the Smoky city. Of course it
costs a large amount of money to
bring the Pittsburghers here, and it
will be necessary to charge 50 cents
admission. All boys of the town who
wish to see this game must secure the
price, as free admission cannot be giv-
en. As this will be the last time the
Academy team will be seen in action
this season on the home field a large
crowd ought to be present to cheer
them on to victory.

i Toll Telephone Service Annulled to
| State College, Centre Hall and
: Boalsburg.
| Effective at midnight, Sunday night,
sylvania annulled its ten cent toll
service between the Bellefonte tele-
phone exchange and State College,
Centre Hall and Boalsburg, and all
contiguous territory embraced within
the district of the above exchanges.
Toll service, however, is still in force
to Spring Mills and Millheim and the
territory covered by those exchanges.
This is in line with the agreement
reached some time ago between offi-
cials of the telephone company and
attorneys for the petitioners protest-
ing against the toll service.
The Governor of North Carolina to
Speak Here.
Next Wednesday night, October
20th, Governor Thomas W. Bickett, of
North Carolina, will be in Bellefonte
to speak for Governor Cox and the
League of Nations.
made the occasion of a big meeting in
the court house at 8 o’clock and all the
Democrats of the county as well as
others who may be interested in the
undertaking to secure world peace are
urged to be present.
James D. Connelly, of Clearfield,
Democratic nominee for Congress in
this District will also be present and
speak.
Governor Bickett is an orator and
has a message that all good citizens,
irespective of politics, should hear.
Opening of the Hunting Season.
Just as a reminder of the fact we
want to mention herewith that the
bear hunting season begins today, Oc-
tober 15th, and it might also be stat-
ed that it is just as easy to hunt bear
as any other kind of an animal, but it
is not always so fruitful of results.
But according to reports quite a num-
ber of bear have been seen in the
mountains of Centre county during
the summer, but to find them now
that the season is on will be another
question.
But it will be but a few days now
until the opening of the squirrel,
pheasant, and quail season, which
come in on October 20th, next
Wednesday. So far as woodcock and
quail are concerned, they are so
scarce in this section of the State that
very few hunters take the time and
trouble to look for them. As to
squirrel and pheasant, they were also
rather scarce last year and so far as
can be learned they are not plentiful
enough to make good shooting this
year.
Be Real Sportsmen.
The open season for birds will soon
be here and the woods will be alive
with sportsmen in quest of their fa-
vorite shooting. We are wondering if
they will prove the kind of sportsmen
that we like to picture them as.
If they do there will be nothing for
the few ring-neck pheasants that have
recently been put out in some parts of
the county to fear and nothing for the
few altruistic gentlemen who have
gone to the trouble of procuring and
liberating them to regret.
Only a few years ago the first ring-
necks were planted in Centre county.
They have thrived so well that if left
alone thers is a strong probability
that ere long the woods will be well
stocked with the birds. They appear
hardier and more prolific than our na-
tive pheasant or ruffed grouse so that
if given a chance to get started they
might prove the medium through
which we can avert the extinction of
game birds in our forests.
Don’t shoot the ring-necks. The
temptation may be great, of course,
but “lay off” of them for a few years
and wait for the real sport when they
become plentiful. The fellows who
have been instrumental in placing
them here are just as keen to throw
up a gun on a bird as any man living
and, by all the codes of sportsman-
ship, have a better right to kill a ring-
neck than you and I, but they are not
going to do it. Let us. be the real
sportsmen that they are.
George W. Sherry Retired.
George W. Sherry, division sec-
tion foreman on the Lewisburg divis-
ion of the Pennsylvania railroad, was
placed on the retired list on Septem-
ber 30th, after working for the rail-
road company for a period of forty
years and eight months. Mr. Sherry
began work for the company on the
Bald Eagle Valley railroad and later
worked on the Lewisburg and Tyrone
road running from Tyrone to Scotia.
When the Lewisburg road was opened
between Bellefonte and Montandon in
1885 Mr. Sherry was transferred to
Bellefonte and made a section boss.
Some years ago when section divis-
ions were established Mr. Sherry was
made foreman of the Bellefonte divis-
ion, a position he filled most credita-
bly until his retirement on September
30th. Mr. Sherry is a little past six-
ty-seven years of age. His successor
has not yet been appointed.
Box Social at Pleasant Gap.
The students of the Pleasant Gap
High school will hold a box social in
Noll’s hall this (Friday) evening. A

along splendidly and the people of
Pleasant Gap and surrounding com-
munity should pack the hall this even-
ing to show their appreciation for the
progress the students are making and
the high standard of the school in
general.
