The Lauderbach—Zerby compa-
"ny has invested in another big Mack,
- a PEE
delivery truck to meet the demands of
their wholesale grocery in this place.
“Buck” Taylor, the spectacular
cowboy farmer, has tired of tilling the
soil in Centre county and will sell his
farm in Harris township and leave for
some other clime where it is warmer

Prothonotary Roy Wilkinson
brought his family to Bellefonte on
~ Saturday and they have been busy this
“week fixing up in their new home
: which Mr. Wilkinson recently pur-
” chased from Charles F. Cook, on north
Spring street.

: Mills Mrs. W. H. Fry was not only the
. first woman to vote but put the first

Charles M. McCurdy, president
of the First National bank of Belle-
, fonte, Hard P. Harris, Dr. Hiram M.
. Hiller, Robert F. Hunter and Dr. J. J.
Kilpatrick hied themselves to the
woods on Wednesday for a two week’s
: hunt for small game. They are locai-
ed in Decker valley, south of Potters
"Mills.
: Clothing merchants in Belle-
fonte have made another decided cut
in the price of clothing, according to
their advertisements published in this
issue of the “Watchman.” Coal prices
are scheduled for a fall, but up to the
present writing there has been no in-
dication of any material change in the
. price of meats in Bellefonte.
. A big covered truck with cur-
tains tightly drawn passed through
Bellefonte 6n Monday morning, and
from the look of it had all the symp-
toms of carrying a cargo of wet goods.
Of course the truck did not stop to
give anyone a chance to investigate
its contents, and this was looked upon
as one more suspicious reason.
———While two remarkably clever
pictures have been shown at the op-
era house during the week there have
also been some good ones at the Scen-
ic. T. Clayton Brown, who has charge
of both places of amusement, is giv-
ing the people of Bellefonte the very
newest and best entertainment in the
motion picture line that it is possible
to get.
One of the most unique exhi-
pitions that has beea in the “Watch-
man’ ‘office window for some time is
that this week of three parrot eggs
laid by an eighteen year old bird own-
ed by Mrs. Satterfield. The eggs are
white in color and about half as large
as a small hen’s egg. The three eggs
were laid by the parrot during the
past three weeks.
—-—The Indies of the United
Brethren Sunday school will serve a
chicken and corn supper in the base-
ment of the church on Thursday even-
ing, November 18th, from 5 to 7 p. m.
Full supper will cost 50 cents, and ice
cream and cake will be served extra.
It has been several years since such a
supper has been held and it is expect-
ed many will attend, as they have
proven popular when held befare.
~——Those of our readers who did
not see “Tea for Three” when it was
shown here several weeks ago will
have an cpportunity tonight to see
this exceptional play. In the actors
and scenic investiture it is away be-
yond anything usually seen in one
night stands like Bellefonte and the
dialogue is unusual. It is a play that
appeals strongly to those with intelli-
gence enough to follow the author,
and is more like the reading of an in-
fensely absorbing book.
The fall of the year is not a
very attractive time for farm sales
‘But the big sale to be held next Thurs-
day on the Brockerhoff farm, a mile
and a half east of Bellefonte on the
Jacksonville road, will undoubtedly at-
€ract a large crowd of buyers. Seven
head of the best kind of farm horses
‘and eighteen head of graded milk cows
should tempt many bidders, while the
offering of farm implements includes
about everything that anybody could
possibly need on an up-to-date farm.
. ——A peculiar accident happened
80 the morning train east on the Bald
¥agle Valley railroad on Monday
snorning. As the train was speeding
along just east of Curtin the engine
gender jumped the track in some inex-
plicable way and the train ran a half
hile before the crew was wise to the
act that the tender was riding the
ties instead of the rails. And strange
as it may seem no special damage was
‘done and no accident occurred as the
wesult of the tender’s peculiar prank.
.——Arnold Bechtol, aged seven-
teen years, of Pine Glen, is in the
Cotlage State hospital, Philipsburg,
undergoing treatment for a gunshot
wound in the left thigh, the result of
aw accident while out hunting rabbits
along the ' Susquehanna river near
Belfort, He climbed on a rock and as
4he did so his gun slipped, the hammer
‘striking the rock causing the gun to
‘be discharged, the entire load of shot
catering his left thigh. While his
condition is regarded as serious it is
: ot necessarily fatal.
A Great Birthday Celebration.
It is seldom that the anniversary of
the birth of a citizen of a community,
however distinguished he may be,
calls forth more public recognition
than is given through personal and
written felicitations and social func-
tions of some sort. But then it is sel-
dom that a citizen reaches the age of |
eighty-six years in full possession of
every faculty and with “pep” enough
to personally manage a hazardous in-
dustry that employs more than a
thousand men.
The Hon. Alexander G. Morris was
eighty-six years young last Friday.
While we have other men who can
match him in the span of life we think
we do none of our other octogenarians |
injustice when we say that Mr. Mor-
ris is in a “Let’s Go” class all of his
own.
The celebration that took place on
the streets of Bellefonte the night of
his anniversary must have taken him
completely by surprise. It was fit-
ting, however, and, no doubt, very
pleasing to him that his fellow eciti-
zens, mostly Republicans of course, '
from all walks of life should have |
turned out to make the day a mem-
orable one. !
There were three bands, delegations |
from State College, Snow Shoe, :
Spring township, Bellefonte and St.
Paul street, all marching and cheer- |
ing, and following them a division of |
floats representing the great industry |
that Mr. Morris has developed in this |
community. And just to show that
business rivalries and competition are i
all forgotten, as they properly should |
be on joyous occasions of this sort, :
John S. Walker turned out a lot of '
men and floats from the Chemical ;
Lime company’s plant to do honor to
the “grand old man” of the lime in-!
dustry. i
It was an unusual demonstration. |
But, as we have said before, it was an
unusual occasion because Mr. Morris |
will never have another eigthy-sixth |
birthday and our Republican friends
will never celebrate another victory
like the one some of them thought
they were celebrating last Friday
night.

Music in the Public Schools.
The teaching of music in the pub-
lic schools of Bellefonte is likely to
materialize in - the near future. A
fund is now being accumulated to de-
fray the expense of same and if the
expectations of superintendent A. H.
Sloop do not miscarry, and there is no
reason to believe they will, regular
lessons will be inaugurated after the
Holidays with a competent teacher in
charge. Though the plans are so far
only tentative, the schedule being con-
sidered will be one lesson a week in
all the grade schools and four lessons
in the High school.
The teaching of music in the public
schools, especially in towns able to af-
ford a special teacher for that pur-
pose, is a study that ought to be en-
couraged. Thirty or forty years ago
when the late Philip H. Meyer, of Cen-
tre Hall, and John A. Weaver, of Pine
Grove Mills, were in their palmy days
night singing schools throughout the
country were no novelty and both gen-
tlemen conducted large classes at var- |
ious places throughout the winter sea-
son. But of late years there are no
such singing schools anywhere and the
only way young people now have of
learning even the rudiments of music
is from a private tutor or by taking a
course in some conservatory of musie,
and both ways are too expensive for
the average family. But a course of
music in the public schools will at
least start the development of many
a child’s talent in this direction which !
otherwise might lie dormant and un-
discovered. :
Corn, Potato and Apple Show.
A corn, potato and apple show will
be held in connection with the annual
meeting of the Centre county Farm
Bureau on Thursday, December 23rd,
1920, in the court house, Bellefonte.
Start now to select your exhibits.
An exhibit of corn shall consist of ten
ears, an exhibit of apples five apples,
an exhibit of potatoes five potatoes.
A premium of $5.00 will be given
for the best exhibit each of corn, po-
tatoes and apples. The best exhibits
in this show will be sent to Harris-
burg to compete in the State farm
product show in January.
Send or bring your exhibits to the
Farm Bureau office between December
10th and 21st. Plan now to have sev-
eral exhibits and to attend the annu-
al meeting of the Farm Bureau on
December 23rd.
Child Scalded to Death.
Frances Jeannette Wert, only child
of Mr. and Mrs. John Wert, of Smull-
ton, died on Sunday as the result of
falling into a tub of scalding water on
Friday afternoon. Mrs. Wert was
washing in the kitchen and the little
girl was joyfully playing about the
room. In some way she toppled back-
wards into the tub of boiling water
and was terribly scalded before she
could be rescued. The child was a lit-
tle over four years old. Burial was
made in the Rebersburg cemetery on
Wednesday.
It Pays to be Insured.
On the 17th day of August, 1920,
William L. Young insured his grain,
hay and feed for six months on the
cash plan in the Lebanon Mutual In-
surance company, through the J. M.
Keichline agency. On October 9th his
entire crop was destroyed by fire and
on November 3rd, less than a month
later Mr. Keichline gave him the Leb-
anon company’s check for $1754.10 to
cover his loss.

desire to spray their potatoes next

i glad to co-operate in any way possi-
ble. It has been demonstrated many

there. When Dr. Yocum was pastor
of the Bellefonte Methodist church he
and Dr. McKinney occasionally ex-
changed pulpits and Sunday’s ex-
change will thus be merely a continu- |
ance of a custom established some
years ago. Inasmuch as Dr. Yocum is
so well known and loved in Bellefonte
it is hardly necessary for the “Watch-
man” to bespeak for him good congre-
gations at both morning and evening
services.
Dr. Hugh L. Fry, with his wife
and two interesting little girls, is
spending his fortnight’s vacaation at
the home of his father, Capt. W. H.
Fry, at Pine Grove Mills, and with his
many relatives throughout the valley.
Dr. Fry graduated as a veterinary
surgeon at the University of Pennsyl-
vania in the class of 1909 and most of
the time since has been spent in
southern States. During the past
four years he has been in the service
of the United States government, do-
ing special investigation work
throughout the State of Mississippi,
his specialty being anthrax, hog chol-
eraand Texas ticks. He makes his
headquarters at Jackson, Miss., where
he is very comfortably located and to
which place he will return on the
completion of his visit.
called for service in 1918 and was sent
across in August of that year. He
{ was with the army of occupation when
| took sick and died.
In addition to his parents he is sur-
vived by the following brothers and
sisters: Roy Korman, of Curtin; Mrs.
! Aaron Fetzer, of Milesburg; Clark,
Rufus, Boyd, Laird, Viola, Dorothy
and Clarene, all at home.
Funeral services will be held at two
o'clock this (Friday) afternoon. Rev.
M. C. Piper, of Milesburg, and Rev.
Meliott, of Howard, will officiate and
burial will be made in the Union cem-
etery, Bellefonte. Members of the
American Legion will attend the fun-
eral.
Buffalo Run Barn Burned.
The big barn on the old Wesley
' Gray farm about a half mile east of
Waddle, in the Buffalo Run valley,
and now owned by Mrs. F. H. Clemson,
was entirely destroyed by fire on Mon-
day night. The farm is tenanted by
| George Kelly. All the season’s crops
of grain, about forty tons of hay and
| farming implements were burned, but
fortunately no livestock. There was
some insurance on barn and crops but
not sufficient to cover the loss. The
| origin of the fire is unknown.
