Furst, whose terms as trustees expir-
ed on January 1st, declined a re-elec-
tion, and Jgmes W. Herron and

some time past has been associated
with the Robin Film company, at Cul-
ver City, Cal., has accepted a more en-
ticing offer with the Hal Roach stu-
dios, of the same city. Miss Marvin
has been engaged in motion picture
work for some months and is evident-
ly proving a sucess when rival pro-
ducers go bidding for her services.
——A quantity of ice was harvest-
ed last week before the warm wave
struck this locality, but it is not any-
ways near enough to keep Bellefonte
cool during the coming summer. From
all’ indications the remainder of the
winter will be a succession of cold and
wahm spells, and ice men should take
advantage of every spell of cold to
filE their houses, else they are liable
toibe short on ice next summer.
A letter received this week by
Mrs. A. J. Cruse from her son, Tem-
pleton Cruse, of Pittsburgh, contained
the information that he has been made
superintendent of delivery of mails
in the Pittsburgh postoffice, and will
thus have charge of all outside deliv-
eries. This is quite a promotion and
his many friends in Bellefonte will be
glad to know that his efficiency in the
postal. service is bringing its reward.
——According to a summary just
issued by the Department of Internal
Affairs the number of men employed
in productive industry in Centre coun-
ty during 1920 was 3750. They
earned an average wage of $985.71 and
the value of the product of each one
is estimated at $2,519.41. The pro-
ductive value of the Centre county
employee is within six of being the
lowest in the State, while the average
wage paid was within fifteen of being
the lowest.
——At the annual meeting of the
Harris Dental association in Lancas-
ter on Wednesday of last week Dr.
Wilbur Twitmire, of that
tion.
W. T. Twitmire, of Bellefonte, and
the fact that the Harris Dental asso-
ciation is the only society of its kind
in Lancaster city and Lancaster coun-
ty, Dr. Twitmire’s election as presi-
dent of the same is quite an honor
for a man so young in the profession.
——A great benefit matinee for the
European relief fund will be given at
the Scenic theatre to-morrow after-
noon, January 29th, in the wonderful |
boy play, “The Soul of Youth.” The
story is similar to that of “Huckle-
berry Finn,” with a human interest
that will appeal to all. Also, a two-
reel Buster Keaton comedy, which is
a scream. The admission will be 25
cents flat, with no war tax, every pen-
ny received to be donated to the relief
fund. Judge Lindsay, of Denver, ap-
pears in this picture.
——Mrs. Emma Cooke was defend-
ant in a case heard before ’Squire J.
M. Keichline the past week, the action
being one for damages brought by
James R. Hughes for the mutilation
of two trees standing on the Acade-
my property. After hearing the evi-
dence the justice postponed the case
several days and went onto the ground
and viewed the damaged propety after
which he imposed a fine of thirty dol-
lars and costs upon the defendant in
default of the payment of which a jail
sentence was attached. Mrs. Cooke
appealed the case to court.
——For some time past there has
been an impression among various
residents of Bellefonte that the town
clock on the court house was not
showing correct time. The clock is
not only kept in running order but
properly adjusted by F. P. Blair &
Son, and on Wednesday of this week
when compared with the correct
Washington time it was found to be
just one second out of the way. Inthe
future readers of the “Watchman”
will find at the bottom of the F. P.
Blair & Son advertisement in this pa-
per a line stating just how the clock
is—whether Tast or slow.

COME TO THE AUTO SHOW.
| Grand Opening Will be Held in Belle-
: fonte Armory Temorrow.
Twenty years ago the automobile
: was regarded merely as the rich man’s
| toy; today it is the poor man’s friend.
It neither eats nor sleeps and the only
expense outlay entailed is when it is
working. The passnger car, the light
and heavy delivery trucks and the
farm tractor have all proven their val-
ue in this twentieth century progress
and it would be practically impossible
to get along without them.
Millions and millions of dollars are
invested in the manufacture of the
various types of cars today and the
majority of the types have reached
that standard of perfection where they
may all be characterized as good. The
only question at issue being the spe-
cial type each buyer might prefer.
And that is the main excuse for the
big auto show which will be held in
the armory in Bellefonte for one week,
beginning tomorrow.
Dealers from all over the county
have taken exhibition space in the ar-
mory and will have cars and accesso-
ries on display, so that the prospec-
tive purchaser will be able to see just
what the car is like, whether it be a
| passenger vehicle, a big truck or a
farm tractor. Competent representa-
tives of the various dealers will be on
| hand to give any and all information
desired. Prospective purchasers and
present owners of cars should not miss
this opportunity of seeing a big auto
show. It is the first of the kind ever
held in Centre county, and will be
complete in every detail.
There will be special days for every
section of Centre county, but this will
not prevent any one from attending
every day, if they feel disposed to do
so. In addition to the exhibition there
will be lectures on the care of cars,
the utility of trucks and tractors, and
a musical program every day by the
Mandolin club of State College.
Consult the big advertisement on
page five of this issue of the “Watch-
man” as to the details of the show,
then be sure to attend.

Tractor Clynic During Auto Show.
On Tuesday, February 1st, in con-
| junction with the Auto Show, Belle-
fonte is to be the scene of a tractor
clinic, which promises to be well at-
tended and one of the most interest-
ing days of the show.
. To the average individual a gath-
ering of this nature has no special at-
traction. But with the introduction
of power farming in agriculture in re-
cent years, it means much to the per-
son closely associated in the develop-
ment of farm lands. The tractor for
power on the farm has solved the la-
bor problem to a great degree and has
done much toward making farming a
nore profitable and pleasant business.
A very interesting program has
been arranged for the occasion, con-
sisting of motion pictures depicting
the tractor in many phases of its
work, an exhibit of farm implements
as well as the working parts of a trac-
tor and talks by persons directly as-
farm tractor. Prof. R. U. Blasin-
game, dean of the department of ag-
ricultural mechanics, of The Pennsyl-
vania State College, will talk on
“Power and Progress.”
Several hundred invitations have
been sent out, but in the event you did
not receive one and are desirous of at-
tending this gathering, communicate
with the Beatty Motor company, at
Bellefonte, and they will gladly send
you an invitation.
To Improve the Union Cemetery.
Bellefonte’s picturesque home of the
dead—the Union cemetery—will be
very much improved and beautified
the coming summer, if the plans re-
cently formulated by the cemetery as-
sociation can be carried out success-
fully. They include the raising of a
. fund for the purpose of fixing up and
putting under perpetual care the old
{and practically filled up portion of
| the cemetery. This will mean the re-
setting of the tombstones and mark-
ers, grading of lots, sodding, etc. A
temporary committee of well known
men and women of Bellefonte has
been appointed to solicit contributions
to the fund.
In this connection it might be said
that all persons whose ancestors are
buried in the cemetery should contrib-
ute as liberally as possible to the fund.
They should be interested in seeing
that the graves of their forefathers
are not only put in a more presenta-
ble condition but kept green at all
times. And the only way this can be
assured is through the agency of a
perpetual care fund. It is hoped to
have a sufficient fund on hand to be-
gin the fixing up of the cemetery ear-
ly in the summer, and because of this
fact the committee will start in at
once to solicit contributions. It might
further be added that the trees and
driveways in the cemetery will also
be taken care of through the perpetu-
al care fund.
Notice.
All interested persons are invited to
attend a meeting at the court house,
Bellefonte, on Sunday, at 2:30 p. m.,
January 80th, 1921, to hear the Hon-
orable John F, Kramer, United States
prohibition law enforcement officer, of
Washington, D. C. This meeting
should appeal to all who are in favor
of the United States being governed
by regularly enacted legislation for
the betterment of the people as a na-
tion. No admission charge will be
made but an offering will be lifted to
defray expenses.

——By consulting the Scenic ad-
vertisement in another column of this
paper motion picture fans will be able
to see just what will be shown at that
popular place of amusement during
the coming week. But you can’t al-
ways go by names. The name of a
play might not appeal to you, and yet
the picture be one of the very best.
Therefore, it is a wise move to go to
all of them, then you’ll be sure to see
the good ones. And you can’t go far
wrong, because every picture is worth
seeing.
——Sunday will bring two inter-
esting and very prominent speakers
to the Lutheran church. At 10:45 a.
m., Hon. John F. Kramer, federal pro-
hibition commissioner, will speak
along the lines of the layman’s part in
church work. Mr. Kramer is one of
the active men in the Lutheran church
body and is a most excellent speaker.
At 7:30 p. m., Dr. I. Chantry Hoff-
man, of Philadelphia, will speak on
“God’s Big Business.” Dr. Hoffman
is a most vigorous talker and his ad-
dress will be helpful and inspiring.
Visitors welcome at both services.
——The “Watchman” omitted to
mention the fact last week that Hon.
A. G. Morris, of Bellefonte, had been
elected president of the board of man-
agers of the Huntingdon reformatory
at the annual meeting-held two weeks |
ago. Mr. Morris ‘was appointed a
member of the board in 1896 and
served continuously until 1916, hav-
ing been president of the board for
three and a half years. At the expira-
tion of his commission in 1916 he was
not reappointed but was again ap-
pointed to the board by Governor
Sproul after his accession to office and
now that he has again been elected
president he will be back in the old
chair which he filled so admirably be-
fore.
The Washington Furnace Lands Sold.
Fishermen, hunters and picnickers
all over Central Pennsylvania will be
interested in the announcement that
Charles L. Steele, of Northumber-
land, has sold his holding of mountain
land in the Fishing creek narrows to
the Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal &
Iron company.
There are thousands of acres in the
tract, which extends from the gap at
Lamar clear through into Sugar vak
ley. It is covered with fair second
growth timber but as to whether that
was what the new purchasers got -it
for we know not. We do know tha¢
last summer Mr. Steele was perfect-
ing. plans to cut the.chestnut which
was going back because of the blight.
i The only reservation ‘fie made in the
sale was of the big farm at Lamar.
: Lately he has improved it very much
and expects to hold it. °

Convention of Road Supervisors.
The annual convention of the Su-
pervisors’ Association of Centre coun-
ty will be held in the court house,
Bellefonte, on Wednesday, February
9th, 1921. The meeting will be called
to order by the officers of the associ-
ation at 10 a. m. Supervisors are ur-
gently requested to attend this con-
vention as this is one of the most im-
portant duties of your office as town-
ship supervisor.
Either Joseph W. Hunter, township
commissioner, or a representative of
the township division will be present
and will explain and answer questions
relating to the State reward act.
This is of vital importance to Centre
county and to every supervisor in the
county because of the fact that during
the present year Centre county did
not take full advantage of the provis-
ions of this act, and as a result, over
$2,000 went to other counties that
should have been spent on the roads
and bridges of Centre county.

Three Academy Students Injured.
On Sunday afternoon John Alwine,
D. Brown, Willard Davis, and Messrs.
Ennis and Knauer, took a walk and
finally landed in one of the American
Lime and Stone quarries, above the
Bellefonte Central railroad shops.
After looking through the quarry they
came to one of the dump cars stand-
ing on the quarry track and conceiv-
ed the idea of taking a short ride down
the grade. They all got into the car
and started, but unfortunately the car
soon acquired a momentum which
they were unable to control. At the
speed the car was traveling it was dan-
gerous to attempt to get off and the
five young men stuck to the car hop-
ing that something would happen to
get them out of their predicament.
And something did happen, but not
just what they hoped for. The car
ran to the end of the trestle, then
tumbled down over the embankment,
a distance of twenty-five feet or more.
Of course the young men went with it.
Knauer, Davis and Ennis, sustained a
few ugly cuts and bruises, but no
broken bones, while Brown and Al-
wine escaped without injury. The lat-
ter two assisted their companions into
Bellefonte and to a physicians office,
where they had their injuries dressed,
all thankful that they got off so luck-
ily, as one or more of them might have
been killed. They also were left off
pretty easily by the American Lime
and Stone company, as all that has
been required of them is to pay for the
damage done.

Bellefonte Woman Still in Durance, ;
but Safe.
Bellefonte friends of Mrs. Elinor
Cook McDowell will be glad to learn
that while she and her husband are
still held in durance by the Turks they
are both perfectly well and in no per-
sonal danger, as is evidenced by the
following letter reeived from Mr.
McDowell which was written on board
a Near East relief ship, as they are
not allowed to either write or receive
mail where they are retained:
On board U. S. S. “Overton,”
Samsun, Turkey, Jan. 4.
Dear Mr. Cook:—I have this chance
to come on board ship and write a
note. You have probably heard of our
situation. The N. E. R. is here to
work but we can receive or send no
mail. The Turkish government is
making it as difficult as possible with-
out actually putting us out. We are
perfectly safe and are personally be-
ing treated courteously. Elinor and
I are both well and happy. She had
no chance to come aboard this time.
She and I are carrying on the whole
work where formerly there were five
Americans.
We are counting on leaving here
the first of April and reaching Ameri-
ca some time in May. This is the first
time in the four years that I have
been out here that I have been keen
on going back. But now I am fed up
with the relief work and all the trou-
bles that attend it. We will spend
several months, at least, in the States,
and may remain a year. What’s going
to happen out here I have no idea,
We are entirely without news of the
outside world. No mail of any kind.
Continue ‘writing, ‘however, to Con-
stantinople. We may get out soon.
I haven’t more time. With much love
from both of us.

Ralph Weaver Killed by Train.
Ralph Weaver, son of Jacob Wea-
ver, of Hublersburg, was instantly
killed on the railroad near the depot
in Howard about two o’clock on Mon-
day afternoon. He with one or two
other men were engaged in loading a
car with props for P. B. Crider & Son,
of Bellefonte. Weaver went into the
station to get a drink of water and as
he stepped out of the building he saw
a train coming down the track which
he supposed was the Pennsylvania—
Lehigh east.
An open freight car was standing
on the siding just opposite the station
and Weaver walked over and stood be-
hind it waiting for the oncoming train
to pass. But the train was not the
Pennsylvania—Lehigh but local
freight engaged in shifting, and ac-
cording to reports they made a flying
switch, shunted a car onto the siding
which in turn bumped a freight car
standing thereon and the. latter car
ran down against the car behind which
Weaver was'standing. This car was
dlso bumped into :action and Weaver
being close ‘to it was knocked down
and run over, his body being badly
The unfortunate young man was not
born at Hublersburg. His mother
died .when he was quite young and
since then he made his home with an
aunt. He is survived by his father
but no brothers or sisters. The re-
mains were taken to Hublersburg
where funeral services were held at
one o’clock yesterday afternoon by
Rev. Messner, burial being made in
the Hublersburg cemetery.
“My Soldier Girl.”
Containing more than a score of
novelties and elaborate scenic ideas,
the musical spectacle, “My Soldier
Girl,” the season’s greatest success,
coming to the Garman opera house
next Monday night, is without doubt
the most novel attraction of the en-
tire season. The producers, LeComte
and Flesher, have spent money freely
to make this play elaborate in every
detail. The feature novelties are ma-
ny, including the popular “flirtation
walk,” an illuminated run-board ex-
tending from the stage almost to the
rear wall of the auditorium. The
girls, in novel drills and cleverly
staged dances, are a treat to look up-
on. A brilliant lawn fete, with banks
of flowers and lights, New York city
in grand illumination and shimmering
opalescent scenery fulfills every ex-
pectation. The famous “pony” ballet
from the roof of the New York thea-
tre, is a revelation, while the cleverly
selected cast is all that can be desired
to make “My Soldier Girl” a success.
