The Centre county auto show
will run just one week but the Scenic
will be open all the time, every week
and every evening in the week except
Sunday. It offers a line of amusement
such as can be found nowhere else in
Bellefonte. Its big programs of mo-
tion pictures are the best and latest
obtainable and include such a wide
variety of subjects that they cannot
fail to please all who attend. Movie
fans cannot afford to miss any of
them.

According to a report in last
week’s Donora American J. Fred Noll,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Noll,
of Bellefonte, was a prominent mem-
bet of an amateur minstrel organiza-
tion that gave three performances last
week for the benefit of Ernest I.
Jobes Post, American Legion. The first
performance was given on Wednesday
night and when it was time for the
curtain to go up it was discovered
that Fred was absent. Hurry calls
were sent in all directions but before
the situation became critical the miss-
ing member arrived and explained the
delay by announcing that a new boy
had just arrived at his home and of
course he had to be there to bid him
welcome.
———While up to the present time no
lease has been made of the Brocker-
hoff house one thing is quite sure, and
that is when it is taken in hand by
somebody it will be a very much im-
proved house. Workmen have been
engaged there for almost two months
. now paper hanging and fixing up the
interior generally. Several addition-
al private baths will be installed and
some very decided improvements
made. As planned now the furniture
on the first hotel floor will be used to
furnish the rooms on the floor above,
while the rooms on the first floor will
be newly furnished throughout. The
office has also been repainted and pa-
pered and presents a much improved
appearance.
| MANY FINE CARS DISPLAYED
At Centre County’s First Big Auto
Show in Bellefonte Armory.
Automobile dealers in Centre coun-
ty have done themselves proud this
week by the character of their dis-
play at the big auto show in the
Bellefonte armory, conceived and
managed by Major Eugene H. Leder-
er, of State College. All told the ex-
hibit included twenty-three cars, a half
dozen trucks, two tractors, tires and
auto accessories and the complete
State College exhibit on farm motors,
tractors, etc. In this exhibit were
cars of all prices, from the nominal
priced Ford to the pretentious Roam-
er which sells for $4,975.
In fact included in the list of cars
on exhibit are the Dodge, Buick,
Columbia Six, Franklin, Ford, Reo,
Haines, Nash, Chandler, Hupmobile,
Marmon, Studebaker, Willys-Knight,
Roamer, Oldsmobile, Chevrolet, Gar-
oner and Maxwell. There were also
Ford trucks, White trucks, Buick and
Gram-Bernstein trucks, as well as the
Fordson and Cletrac tractors.
Exhibitors included C. E. Snyder
and Henry M. Myers, of State Col-
lege; Frank A. Beals, Philipsburg;
Boozer & Smith, Centre Hall; Empire
Auto Co., Altoona; George A. Beezer
Wion’s garage, Beatty Motor Co.
the Krader Motor Co., S. H.
Poorman, the Emerick Motor Bus Co.,
of Bellefonte; the Pleasant Gap ga-
rage, with a line of supplies; the Al-
lentown Rubber company, tires, ete.,
and the Penn State College.
Wion’s garage has on exhibition the
new model Franklin, which is an es-
pecially classy car. The hood is so
entirely different from the old models
of this car that the change is partic-
ularly pronounced. The Roamer is
perhaps the most showy car in the en-
tire exhibit, but it is also in a class
by itself when it comes to the price.
All the cars are standard makes and
it is mostly a matter of taste with the
purchaser.
The show opened last Saturday and
as an added attraction of the opening
day music was furnished by the Ca-
det band of the College. Every day
this week there has been music by
either a band or an orchestra, and
this, of course, helped to draw the
crowd. All in all, it has been a very
creditable show, and if an attempt is
made to hold another one next year it
will probably draw larger crowds.
The County Conservation Association
is Getting Under Way.
The directors and standing commit-
tees of the Centre County Conserva-
tion Association met in the Bellefonte
club, in this place, yesterday after-
noon and the number in attendance
from all parts of the county gives as-
surance that the new organization
will soon be functioning in all of its
departments for the conservation of
the forests, wild life, and flowers of
the county.
The annual convention of the Asso- |
ciation is to be held in the court house
| place yesterday afternoon to complete
in this place on June 17th next. A
committee of arrangements was ap- |
pointed and the plans are to make it
a gathering of importance to the town !
and county. Eminent speakers will |
be here. |
Resolutions were introduced by Mr.
Miller, of Millheim, putting the As-
sociation on record as favoring a sim-
plification of the game laws through
making the open season for all small
game in November and large game,
including bear, in Deember and op-
posing the proposed change that
would compel a hunter to see two
prongs on a buck before legally shoot-
ing it.
Other matters of importance were
discussed and will be more fully cov-
ered when the full proceedings are
published.
Among those present were:
Messrs. Gramley, Miller, Stover and
Shelton, from Millheim; Messrs. Sny-
der, Morgan, Gilliland, Knapper and
O’Brien, from Snow Shoe; president
Ralph Smith, from Sandy Ridge;

Boalsburg Man Wants Damages for
Broken Automobile.
C. A. Isenberg, a contractor of
Boalsburg, this county, has brought
an action in trespass in the Blair coun-
ty court to recover damages to the ex-
tent of $600 from Sabatina Caucci for
alleged injury to’ person suffered as
the result of an automobile collision
which he claims was the fault of the
defendant. The plaintiff avers that on
October 17th, 1920, as he was driving
his car along the public highway near
the Lewisburg railroad bridge not far
from Tyrone, his car being occupied
by himself, Harry N. Musser and Mrs.
Cyrus Bathurst he met Caucci driving
a car in the opposite direction, and
that the latter, driving in a wild and
reckless manner, collided with his car,
tearing off the left front wheel, break-
ing the springs, twisting the frame,
smashing the radiator, breaking the
windshield, scarring the body and ren-
dering the motor useless. The plain-
tiff sues for being deprived of his car
and loss due to depreciation in value.
——Through the “Watchman” the
Sheffler family are desirous of thank-
ing their many friends in Bellefonte
for the kindness shown them during
the illness and death of their sister,
with their policy of showing pictures
Miss Kathryn Sheffler.
— The officers and directors of the !
Centre County Conservation Associa- !
tion met in the Bellefonte club in this
the organization of the association.
President Ralph Smith, of Sandy
Ridge, presided. The organizers have
been working hard to get the associa-
tion going and, at last, their efforts
appear as if they would be successful.
——Sechler & Co’s grocery store in
this place is for sale. It is the oldest
grocery establishment in Bellefonte
and should prove a business opportu-
nity of great profit to any one inter-
ested in that line of business. The
store has enjoyed a unique reputation
for quality and fair dealing and its lo-
cation is admirable for the large gro-
cery trade originating in the western
section of the town. For those who
could put aggressive management in-
to it this store seems to us to offer
unusual opportunity.

—— The “Watchman” is in a posi-
tion to inform those who were inter-
ested in the announcement of the sale
of the Washington furnace lands at
Lamar, which was made exclusively
in this paper last week, that the new
owners, the Rochester and Pittsburgh
Coal and Iron Co., do not intend to cut
it at present. They bought it as a re-
serve supply of mine props and ties
and expect to draw on it only when
their present supply is exhausted and
they do not anticipate using the new
poperty for ten or fifteen years.
——Just about a year ago Catherine
Gross, the young daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Edward Gross, fell and broke her
hip and as a result was confined to
the Bellefonte hospital for some
weeks, but in due time recovered.
This winter she has been going to
school, a student in the fourth grade
taught by Miss May Taylor. On
Wednesday morning she was walking
through the corridor of the High
school building and in front of the di-
retor’s room slipped on the wet floor,
fell and broke her other leg. As
quickly as possible she was removed
to the Bellefonte hospital where every
attention is being given her.
——Some rather pronounced chang-
es have been made in the State-Cen-
tre building on High street. Two par-
titions have been put in the rear end
of the building, cutting off the State-
Centre offices from the electric supply
store, which occupies the front and
main part of the room. The State-
Centre portion of the room is also di-
vided into two parts, the front being
the main office and the rear the pri-
vate offices. And now when patrons
of the company go in to pay their bills
they step up to a window and quietly
hand the money through. But if your
business is of a private nature you are
invited to enter the door and escorted.
to the rear room.
——On Tuesday afternoon as the
Lehigh-Pennsylvania train passed
through Howard the agent observed
two young men riding blind baggage,
and he promptly notified the Tyrone
office. That office in turn notified the
dispatcher in Bellefonte, requesting
him to have an officer on hand to ar-
rest the men. Officer Yerger was
summoned and when the train backed
into the station the free riders were
invited to get off, which they did, and
were promptly taken into custody.
They were taken before ’Squire Wood-
ring where they stated that their
homes were in Pittsburgh, but they
had been working in a hat shop in
Philadelphia. Being thrown out of
work and having little money they
had deadheaded it this far on their
way back to Pittsburgh. They were
each sent to jail for five days.

——On page five of this issue of
the “Watchman” will be found the an-
nouncement of the showing of Charles
Chaplin in “The Kid,” at Pastime
theatre, State College, on Thursday
and Friday, February 10th and 11th.
If you think it strange you have heard
nothing of this great comedy—it is
not strange at all—for in keeping
in advance of other places, this pic-
ture will be shown there in advance
of Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New
York city. It is the first six reel com-
edy Charlie has ever appeared in. He
spent one entire year in making it and
in it packed another year of laughs.
For February 14th and 15th they an-
nounce the showing of the famous
Continental star, Pola Negri, in a
The Parker-Keller Wedding.
_ The wedding of Miss Eleanor S.
Parker and Henry Keller Jr. will take
place at the home of the bride’s par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. G. Ross Parker,
corner of Spring and Howard streets
at noon tomorrow. The ceremony will
be performed by Dr. W. K. McKinney,
of the Presbyterian church, and the
attendants will be W. Frederick Rey-
nolds Jr., and the bride’s sister, Miss
Mary Charlotte Parker, as maid of
honor. .
Following the ceremony a wedding
breakfast will be served to the bridal
party and guests, about forty in num-
ber, including members of the imme-
diate families and very close friends
of Miss Parker and Mr. Keller. Mr.
and Mrs. Keller will leave the same
day for Madison, Wis., where Mr. Kel-
ler is an instructor in agriculture in
the Wisconsin State College.
" The bride is the eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Parker and has lived all
her life in Bellefonte. She is a grad-
uate of the Bellefonte High school and
also of Wilson College, class of 1919.
Following her graduation at the latter
place she taught history one year in
the school at Atlantic Highlands, N.
J. Mr. Keller is the second son of Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Keller, of Bellefonte,
a graduate of the Bellefonte High
school and The Pennsylvania State
College. He saw front line service in
France, having gone out with Troop
L, trained at Camp Hancock, where he
won a lieutenant’s commission in the
officer’s school, and was wounded in
the battle of the Marne, incapacitat-
ing him from further service.
Preliminary to tomorrow’s wedding
a pre-nuptial dinner dance was given
by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Keller at the
Country club on Wednesday evening
and Thursday evening Col. and Mrs.
W. Fred Reynolds gave a dinner in
honor of the young people.
Whalley—Willard.—Mr. and Mrs.
D. I. Willard received a telegram yes-
terday morning announcing the mar-
riage of their daughter, Miss Vera M.
Willard, to Daniel George Whalley,
of Denver, Col.,, the wedding having
taken place in that city at four o’clock
on Wednesday afternoon. The offici-
ating minister was Rev. Dr. David
Utter. Miss Willard has been a pro-
fessional nurse in government service
for three years and one month, first
doing duty at the government hospit-
al on Long Island. Fifteen months
ago she was transferred to the Fitz-
simmons General hospital, Denver,
and has been located there ever since,
resigning only a few days ago because
of her marriage. Mr. Whalley is a na-
tive of Denver and is superintendent
of a large bakery in that city. The
young couple will forego the pleasure
of any extended wedding trip but go
to housekeeping at once in that west-
ern city.
eee fearsome
Shope—Blair.—Harry Shope, son of
Mr. and Mrs. W. Reynolds Shope, of
Bellefonte, and Miss Ruth Blair, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Blair,
of Fillmore, were quietly married at
the United Brethren parsonage in this
place, at one o'clock last Friday after-
noon by the pastor, Rev. George E.
Smith. They left on the Pennsylva-
nia-Lehigh train on a wedding trip
east and upon their return will take
up their residence in Bellefonte, the
bridegroom being associated in the
lumbering business with his father.
Stewart—Barto.—Blanchard Stew-
art, of Tyrone, and Miss Emma Bar-
to, of Pennsylvania Furnace, were
united in marriage at Tyrone last
Saturday. They spent the early part
of the week at the home of the bride’s
mother, Mrs. Emma Emigh, where a
wedding supper was served the hap-
py young couple. They will make
their home in Tyrone, where Mr.
Stewart has a good job in the paper
mill.
House Hunting Big Problem in Belle-
fonte Just Now.
Every spring non-property owners
in Bellefonte are up against the prop-
osition of getting a place to live in
the ensuing year, not counting the in-
crease in rents, ete., but this year the
situation appears to be worse than
usual. About every third man or
woman one meets nowadays is house-
hunting. Not that houses are any
scarcer than they have been in Bele-
fonte, but a few new families have
come in and a number of properties
having been sold necessitates many
mighty screen epic, “Passion,” which
is having its premier showing next
week at the new Stanley theatre, Phil-
adelphia.
— On Wednesday Mr. John B.
Payne, who is in charge of the High
school vocational work in Centre coun-
ty, brought to this office an exhibit of
four apples he secured at the state
farm products’ show in Harrisburg
last week, and after looking them over
we came to the conclusion that York
county growers, where the apples
came from, are entirely deserving of
the many prizes awarded them at the
show. Three of the apples in the ex-
hibit are of the Delicious variety, and
although we haven’t yet tasted them,
we have the assurance of Mr. Payne
that they are just as palatable as the
name would indicate. They are large
and smooth and a beautiful dark red
in color. Then there is one apple known
as the York Spot, which is.a combi-
nation of the York Stripe and Gano.
To secure the combination the grower
grafted a portion of the bud of a Ga-
no into a bud of the York Stripe, and
the result is an apple of two distinct
colors, and perfectly marked as to out-
line. It is also said to be of a very de-
licious flavor. we or
changes. And, of course, the increase
in rents is another thing that is fore-
ing some people to move. And most
of the movers are looking for a house
with all modern improvements and at
the same rent they used to pay for
most any kind of a home, and it can’t
be had.
Of course if there were more houses
in Bellefonte than there are people to
fill them, it might make a difference,
but with more people than there are
houses, the situation is naturally
acute. And with the cost of building
so high men who might build houses
are not expending their money that
way, because the returns do not jus-
tify it.
Just about a year ago the Business
Men’s association considered the prop-
osition of embarking in the real es-
tate business and building enough of
houses to meet the demand, but when
they figured the cost and the ultimate
income the scheme was dropped. A
few new houses have been built dur-
ing the past year but there have not
been enough to relieve the situation
and how everybody is going to get
properly located is like working out a
Chinese puzzle.

James Hazel Hurt in Motorcycle
Accident.
Failing to observe the sharp curve
in the state road at the Griffith prop-

Thursday evening on a motorcycle
with side car, ran down over the bank

the accident happened but Mr. Hazel
lay unconscious where he was thrown
until probably 8:30 o’clock when Da-
vid Barlet Jr. and J. M. Showers drove
out the state road and saw the motor-
cycle in the creek. They stopped to
investigate and finally discovered Ha-
zel, all covered with blood and uncon-
scious. They got him up onto the rail-
road when he regained consciousness
to a certain extent and was able to
walk to the nearest house. He had a
bad cut on the top of his head and
after applying bandages Barlet and
Showers brought him to the Belle-
fonte hospital where a physician
dressed his injuries. These did not
prove very serious and on Friday he
was able to leave the hospital and go
to the home of John T. Hazel and
family, on east Lamb street.

The subject of the next lesson is the
“Comman Cold.”
It is easy to “catch colds,” yet not
hard to avoid them.
The after effect of the common cold
is often pneumonia, bronchitis, or
consumption.
In frequent instances colds have
been followed by partial or complete
deafness or long continued suffering
from Sinusitis.
Bush House Cigar Store Changed
Hands.
W. Homer Crissman last week pur-
chased the Bush house cigar store
from James Caldwell for his son,
Luther Crissman, who will conduct the
same in the future. The new owners
took charge on Saturday. Mr. Cald-
well will now devote his entire time
to The Bon Mot store, next door to the
“Watchman” office. The cigar store
is one of the best stands in Bellefonte
and if the new owners give it close,
personal attention there is no reason
‘why it should not prove a good invest-
ment.
An Explanation.
Mrs. Emma Cooke and Miss
Mollie Snyder wish to infom the pub-
lic that the trees they ordered trim-
med were on the public highway in
front of their home, and not on the
Academy grounds and that they act-
ed in accordance with a request pub-
lished by the borough authorities, who
requested all property owners to trim
the trees in front of their property.
