The “Watchman” this week
asks the forbearance of its corres-
pondents for any condencalions or
omissions in their always very inter-
esting letters, but the unusual de-
mands made by advertisers this week

and other conditions confronting us
this week has made it necessary to
condense everything as much as pos-
sible and even omit some very reada-
‘ble news items.

The Bellefonte Central Rail-
‘road company recently sold to the
Kishacoquillas Valley railroad a re-
built locomotive which they had no
present need of and the people of the
Kishacoquillas valley maintain that it
is “about the size of a watch charm
compared with the modern locomo-
tives of the present day.” But at that
it is a big improvement over the one
heretofore in use on the Kishacoquil-
las, as it was ordered to the scrap
heap by state inspectors.

score being 109 to 7. The visitors
scored their one touchdown the first
two minutes of play ona deflected
forward pass thrown by one of the
State players. After that State not
only scored almost at will but chang-
ed players so frequently that it was
really a third grade team that finish-
ed the game.
——The trout are now spawning in
Spring creek and the favorite spawn-
ing beds being the small patches of
sand and gravel in the creek opposite
the “Watchman” office, the trout are
attracting especial attention, especial-
ly from strangers in town. And it
must be admitted that they are a
sight worth seeing, because quite a
number of them are from twenty
inches to two feet and over in length,
and look more like shad in the water
than trout. In fact many strangers
can hardly believe that they are trout.

BY ORDER OF BURGESS.
To Plant Trees for Soldier Dead.
For some time past the Woman's
club of Bellefonte has fostered the
idea of planting shade trees at some
prominent spot in Bellefonte in com-
memoration of the young men of the
town who gave their lives in the great
world war, namely: Charles. Doll,
Frank Crissman, John Cunningham,
Joseph Anderson and Harry Ott. Re-
alizing that the court house “yard
would be the most appropriate place
for such a lasting memorial a delega-
tion of women waited upon the Coun-
ty Commissioners last Friday and
after presenting their application
were granted permission to place the
trees in front of the court house, the
kind of trees to be planted and the ex-
act location to be determined later. In
this connection Prof. Cowell, of State
College, will come to Bellefonte next
week and consult with the women and
the Commissioners as to the kind of
trees and the most suitable place to
plant them.
This is in line with a project the
women have had in view for some
time back regarding the planting of
trees along the principal highways in
the county in commemoration of all
the young men in the county who gave
their lives in the world war.

pleasantly and quickly that the hour
was late when they returned to Belle-
fonte. The hike scheduled for next
Monday will be postponed a week on
account of the big Hallowe’en demon-

ering and members of any party faith
are invited to attend.
Error in the Election Proclamation.
In the sheriff’s election proclama-
tion as advertised on page 2 of this
edition of the “Watchman” there is

“Jersey Shore Woman Hurt in Auto
"Accident.
On Saturday afternoon Mr. Sheldon
Whipple and family, of Jersey Shore,
were motoring up the Nittany valley
state road and at the sharp curve just
beyond the old Central Railroad of
Pennsylvania the driver, Miss Grace
Whipple, lost control of the steering
apparatus with the result that she
crashed into a telephone pole stand-
ing by the roadside. Mrs. Whipple
was thrown through the windshield
of the car and sustained a number of
bad cuts on the face and head, but
fortunately no broken bones nor erit-
ical - injuries. A passing autoist
brought her to the Bellefonte hospital
where her injuries were given proper
attention. None of the other occu-
pants of the car were seriously in-
jured, but the machine was badly
wrecked.
Horace Kauffman Barn Burned.
The barn on the Horace Kauffman
farm near Zion was totally destroyed
by fire on Monday afternoon, together
with all the year’s crops and most of
the farm implements. The farm is
tenanted by Boyd Tressler and the
fire, which started at two o'clock in
the afternoon, is believed to have been
caused by children playing with
matches. All of Mr. Tressler’s stock
was saved but his loss on crops, im-
plements, etc., is complete, as he car-
ried no insurance. The barn was in-
sured for $1,500, but that will not cov-
er the loss.

Poultry Management Demonstrations.
In order to promote the develop-
ment of poultry husbandry in Centre
county, the Farm Bureau, cooperating
with the poultry extension department
of the Pennsylvania State College,
has planned to follow up the poultry
culling work of September by prac-
tical demonstrations of methods of
handling poultry under farm condi-
tions.
Eight farms will be used as demon-
stration farms, records of. feed and
egg production being kept. All dem-
onstrations will be public and it is
hoped there will be a good attend-
ance of those who are interested in
poultry. Seasonal subjects will be
discussed by H. D. Monroe, one of the
men who gave the culling demonstra-
tions. All in attendance will have an
opportunity to ask questions of spe-
cial interest to them. At the first
meeting selection of pullets, housing
and feeding for winter eggs will be
discussed.
Meetings will be held at farms as

Judge Quigley to Election Officers.
Before leaving for Philadelphia
yesterday afternoon, Judge Quigley
served notice on any election officers
who may be thinking of wilfully
shirking their duties at the polls next
Tuesday that he will hold them to
strict accountability under the law.
It has been rumored for some time
that some officials are disinclined to
serve because the women voting will
probably add much to their work for
which no additional compensation has
been allowed by law.
