A letter was received recently
by Witmer Smith from his son Clyde,
mailed from Capetown, where the boy
was on a land leave from the U. S.
freight and mail vessel, the “Gaffney,”
on which Le is serving.: Leaving the
States in September, they went di-
rectly to South Africa; from there the
vessel will go to Spain, then to Eng-
land, and back to America, reaching
here in July. The boy is but sixteen
years old, and the wanderlust is so
strong on him that there is a proba-
bility that he will see the world before
returning to Centre county perma-
nently.

NEWS OF THE DEER SLAYERS.
Tens of Venison Bagged by Thousands
of Hunters in Centre County
Woodlands.
Imagine, if you can a herd of one
hundred and fifty deer, all male, rang-
ing from the spike buck to the mon-
arch of the forest sporting a pair of
antlers with eight prongs, and you
will have a fair idea of the size of the
first week’s bag of venison in Centre
county woodlands. While the above
number is only an estimate, based on
actual figures received from hunting
parties so far heard from, it is believ-
ed that detailed reports will show an
even greater number, and by the end
of the season the kill will probably
exceed that of last year when over two
hundred bucks were brought to earth,
as ten hunting parties at least have
come home with their limit of six deer.
Computed in pounds and hundred-
weights the deer so far killed will ag-
eregate anywhere from twelve to fif-
teen tons of cleaned venison.
Of course no hunting season is
without its thrilling situations and re-
markable stories, and one of these is
the experience of John Davy and his
son William, of Bellefonte. Last year
they drove to the Seven mountains,
killed their deer and were back home
for supper. Last Thursday they de-
cided to try the trick again. Motoring
over to the same locality they started
through the woods and were within
fifty steps of where they killed the
deer last year when they espied a big
four pronged buck. Mr. Davy at the
first shot knocked the buck down but
fearing the shot might not prove fa-
tal drew up to shoot again when the
pin dropped from the hammer of his
gun and before he could replace it the
deer jumped up and got away.
Dean R. L. Watts, of State College,
went over to Petersburg last Friday
to join a hunting party and found the
members all in the dumps. The day
before the season opened they had
spotted forty-eight deer and had vis-
ions of a bountiful bag, but up to the
Dean’s arrival had not gotten a thing.
After listening to their story the
Dean started out to explore a little
stream running past the camp and
had not gone over several hundred
yards when he sighted a three prong-
ed buck. He killed the animal on the
second shot.
On the day before the opening of
the season two Bellefonters went
down Fishing creek gunning for small
game, They saw abundant signs of
deer and meeting up with W. PD. Seig
and his hunting party of friends from
Cleveland and Detroit told them where
to go on the opening day to get a deer.
The gentlemen accepted the. advice,
went there and shot an eight pronged
buck, the largest reported killed this
SEeRS01.
The McMullen, MceNitt and Yarnell
hunting party returned home on Tues-
day evening from a week’s camp in
Little Sugar valley without any game.
They saw a number of deer but got no
good shots. In fact on one of their
hunts they saw a herd of eight or ten
deer, and though they recognized two
bucks they were so surrounded by the
does that they were afraid to shoot,
which led one of the party to exclaim
that the darn bucks were hiding be-
hind the hides of the female of the
species.
Simon Dugan, who lives on the old
Williams farm at Pleasant Gap, saw
a good sized bear on Saturday which
had come down off the mountain and
was eating grapes off of a wild grape
vine. The same day two boys saw two
deer on the side of the mountain just
above Whiterock.

Pusiness Men to Enter Protest.
At a regular meeting of the Asso-
ciated Business Men of Bellefonte on
Wednesday evening it was unanimeus-
ly decided to make an official protest
to the Public Service. Commission
against the raise in rates for electric
service by the State-Centre Electric
company, as well as the quality of
service rendered.
The committee having in charge the
silk mill bond propositicn reported
that a few people who have subserib-
ed for bonds have not yet made good
and the association decided that the
delinquents be notified if the bonds
are not promptly lifted legal action
will be brought to enforce the pledges
made. This action is deemed neces-
sary at this time because of the fact
that the J. H. and C. K. Eagle compa-
ny have now on hand sufficient ma-
chinery for the equipment of a second
unit to one of their mills, and Belle-
fonts can get this unit by making
good on the first proposition. Other-
wise it is likely to go to either Me-
chaniecsburg or Gettysburg.
It is just possible that seme of the
slowness in lifting the bonds is due to
apprehension as to the future success
of the plant already erected here, ow-
ing to the present unsettled condition
of the silk market, but this phase of
the matter should not be considered.
The silk situation will become stabil-
ized some day, and when this occurs
all the mills in the country will again
be put in operation and Bellefonte will
then be in a position to reap the ben-
efits of a large and staple industry.

Thrilling Lecture by Dr. Leonard.
Di, Charles Leonard, of Williams-
port, thrilled his audience Tuesday
night in the Lutheran church with his
masterful lecture on “The Founders of
Our Nation.” His address dealt pri-
marily with our Pilgrim Fathers and
depicted in a very excellent manner
their deep convictions of religion, lib-
erty, and regard for law,—which con-
victions caused them to cast their lot
upon the bleak and barren shores of
the now world three hundred years
ago.
Woven into the lecture were some
of the speaker’s own personal exper-
iences at the battle front during the
late war. In the latter part of his ad-
dress Dr. Leonard emphasized the
need of immediate acticn in dealing
with our foreign population and the
necessity of Americanizing the immi-
grant strata of our national life. He
pointed out the urgeney of teaching
the foreigner something about the
high ideals and purposes that caused
our Pilgrim sires to lay broad and
deep the foundations of this the great-
est nation under heaven, and make it
very clear to them that America after
all is a country of equal opportunity
for all.
In this day of anarchy and Bolshe-
vik terrors some such stabilizing force
is greatly needed, and the speaker ex-
pressed his belief that if the radical
element could be shown the sacrifices
and struggles, the great visions and
godly principles of our Pilgrim ances-
tors that much of our present day un-
rest could be eliminated. His address
from start to finish was ringing with
true Americanism and was a polished
literary effort, eloquently delivered.

——The new burglar alarm of the
First National bank of Bellefonte was
inadvertently given a try out on Sat-
urday night about ten o’clock and it
quickly attracted a crowd of five hun-
dred people, or thereabouts. The
alarm is set to go in commission at
ten o'clock but everything must be
just right in the bank. In closing up
on Saturday something had been over-
looked in connection with the combi-
nation on the vault and at ten o’clock
the burglar alarm went off. Paul
Jones, watchman in the bank, was un-
able to stop it and the alarm kept
ringing until Lewis Schad entered the
bank and made the proper adjustment.

a party one evening last week for her
eleven year old daughter, Eleanor C.
Barnhart, at which twenty-one asso-
ciates of the young hostess were en-

Miss Rebecea Rhoads’ Home Ravaged
by Fire.
The beautiful and comfortable home
of Miss Rebecca Naomi Rhoads, on
east Linn street, was so badly dam-
{ aged by fire on Monday morning that
it is a question if it can be repaired.
The fire broke out in the cellar in the
neighborhood of seven o’clock. Infact
Miss Rhoads and the Weston family
were awakened by the smoke and were
compelled to get out of the house with
just the clothing they were able to
grab up in their hurried departure.
An alarm was promptly sent in and
both fire companies responded as
quickly as possible, but by the time
they arrived on the scene the fire had
eaten up the west side of the frame
structure almost to the roof and was
not long in breaking out.
At that time it looked as if the en-
tire house was doomed and Academy
students and others set to with a will
and were successful in carrying out
{ everything on the first and second
floor. Though handicapped by the
bursting of two sections of hose the
firemen were able to confine the
flames to the roof and attic, but the
entire house was badly soaked with
water. The west side of the roof and
atlic were entirely destroyed and the
i east side of the roof is also badly
| burned. Considerable valuable stuff
| was stored on the attic and it was im-
| possible to get any of it out. While
comparatively little of this stuff was
burned it was all water soaked. The
{ firemen poured water on the burning
| building until eleven o'clock in the
morning before the fire was complete-
i lv extinguished.
Just how the fire originated is not
| definitely known. On Sunday evening
{a fire was built in a fireplace in the
western part of the house and it is
stated that before retiring that even-
ing some of the members of the house-
hold smelled smoke, as from burning
boards, but were unable to locate any
fire. It is just possible there was
some defect in the fireplace and that
the fire had been smouldering all
night, as it was almost directly be-
neath the fireplace where the fire
broke out in the cellar in the morning.
Miss Rhoads had $6000 insurance
on the house and $1400 on her furni-
ture, but the most of the latter was
saved, though likely somewhat dam-
aged in the hurry of getting it out of
the burning house. While considering
plans for rebuilding she will occupy
the small house on the northwest cor-
ner of the grounds which she last
summer converted into a community
liouse for soldiers, sailors and ma-
vines. Dr. Weston and family, who
made their home with Miss Rhoads,
carried no insurance but practically
all their furniture and belongings
were saved,

Miss Rhoads is especially gratified
with the spirit of helpfulness mani-
fested by many during the conflagra-
tion. She thinks it wonderful that so
much of her furniture and personal
effects was saved and feels greatly in-
debted to those who helped.
{Auto Plunged into Juniata River,
Girls Make Thrilling Escape,
Misses Ottilie Hughes, Pearl Evey,
Eleanor McGinley and David Pugh,
a student at the Bellefonte Academy,
had a thrilling escape from the icy
waters of the Juniata river last
Thursday ufterncon when the auto-
mobile in which they were riding was
bumped over the bank by another ma-
chine which got away before anyone
could get a sight of the tags on the
inachine.
The party ¢f young people, with
Mr, Pugh driving the machine, had
gone to Tyrone to take Mr. James R.
Hughes there to catch a train for
Pittsburgh. The young people then
decided to go to Birmingham to see
one or two school friends. They were
motoring down the Juniata valley and
at a rather narrow place in the road
another car going at a pretty fast
clip, bumped into the rear of their car
and shoved it over the bank into the
uniata river. The occupants of the
car aver that it turned over once if
not twice before it landed in the river.
Fortunately all the young people were
thrown clear of the car, but the water
was so deep that some of them were
in up to their necks. Miss McGinley
was just able to keep her head out of
water and Mr. Pugh supported her
with one arm while assisting the oth-
er two young ladies out. He then
helped her out on the bank and in tak-
ing stock of themselves the very grat-
ifying fact was ascertained that none
of the young people were seriously
hurt. But they were almost a mile
from the nearest house and wet to the
skin they were compelled to walk that
distance. They were later taken to
the Birmingham Seminary where they
were put up for the night.
They all returned home on Friday
and aside from the damage to their
clothing, none of them are the worse
for their adventure. The car, how-
ever, was pretty badly wrecked. It
was pulled out of the river and truck-
ed home and is now being put in re-
pair at a local garage.

bility that she will not meet Penn

mer Brown.

Susanne, who had been in Bellefonte, re-
turned home with her grandparents,
Goodhart—McWilliams.—The home
of W. E. McWilliams at Rock
Springs, was the scene of a pretty lit-
tle wedding last Thursday afternoon
when his daughter, Miss Sarah Anna
McWilliams, was united in marriage
to Frank Goodhart, furniture dealer
and undertaker of Centre Hall. Only
the immediate members of the two
families were present to witness the
ceremony, which took place at 3:30
o’clock and which was performed by
Dr. R. M. Campbell, of the Presbyter-
ian church. Immediately following
the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Goodhart
left on a wedding trip to eastern cities
before taking up their residence in
Centre Hall.
The bride, who has been a great
church worker all her life, is one of
the best known young women of
Spruce Creek valley. Mr. Goodhart,
who is a son of Mrs. William Good-
hart, has been in business in Centre
Hall for a number of years and is re-
garded as one of that town’s most
substantial citizens. He recently pur-
chased a home in Centre Hall, where
he and his wife will reside.
Thompsen—Holter.—Lot C. Thomp-
son, of Port Matilda, and Mrs. Julia
A. Holter, of Bellefonte, were united
in marriage at seven o’clock on Wed-
nesday evening at the bride’s home on
Pine street, by Rev. Alexander Scott,
of the Methodist church. Only a few
close friends and relatives were pres-
ent to witness the ceremony. The
bride is the widow of the late Bower
C. Holter and is a very worthy wom-
an. The bridegroom is a successful
farmer of Bald Eagle valley. Mr. and
Mrs. Thompson will make their home
in Bellefonte during the winter, at
least.

and apples. Each farmer should have
an exhibit of one or more of these
classes. The winning exhibits in the

product show at Harrisburg in Janu-
ary.
The annual meeting of the Centre
county Farm Bureau will be held on
the same day at the court house. At
this time a report of such work done
in 1920 will be given, also plans for
the season of 1921. This is your op-
portunity to get an idea of the work
that is being done by the Farm Bu-
reau, and to offer suggestions as to
methods by which it may serve you
