and highway improvements. The net
public debt of Philipsburg at the
present time is $36,982.94, and the
borough solicitor advised that the only
legal way to increase it was by a vote
of the tax-payers. Bellefonters would
consider themselves fortunate if the
borough debt here were not any more
fhan that of Philipsburg.

these stricken people, is asked to take
their contribution to the Evangelical
church, the Episcopal parish house,

week. Make a bundle of your out-of-
date or slightly worn clothes to send
these people for the coming winter.
Robin red breast is a nice bird

mot so many of them. As every body
knows the cold weather early in the
spring froze all the cherries with the
exception of a stray tree here and
there. But the frost might as well
have frozen those, too, as the robins
have cleaned every such treé down to
ihe last cherry. And not content with

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS.
Held Interesting County Convention
at Milesburg Last Week.
The campaign in the interest of
' larger attendance at Sunday schools
! that is now being waged throughout
‘ the State was endorsed by the Centre
' county Sabbath School Association in
! its fifty-second annual convention held
in the Methodist church at Milesburg
last week. Representatives were
| present from most every Sunday
school in the county and the earnest-
ness and enthusiasm displayed
throughout the entire proceedings em-
phasized the fact that the workers
have the interest of the children and
youth of the county at heart.
The opening session in the Miles-
burg Methodist church at ten o’clock
on Tuesday morning was presided
over by the president, E. R. Hancock.
B. D. Ackley and brother, of Philadel-
phia, conducted the music while the
devotions were in charge of Rev. J. H.
Bridigan. The address of welcome
was delivered by H. B. Neff. Interest-
ing addresses were made by Rev. A.
M. Lutton and H. B. Faulkner after
which the president appointed as a
committee on the ‘nomination of offi-
‘ cers for the ensuing year A. N. Cor-
i man, George Bixler, W.E. McWil-
, liams, Miss Ella Ward and Mrs. A. M.
Schmidt. H. B. Faulkner and John
Crain were appointed auditors.
On Tuesday afternoon the conven-
tion divided into three distinct confer-
, ences, the primary division being held
in the Methodist church in charge of
| Mrs. C. E. McGirk. The young peo-
ple’s division in the Presbyterian
church in charge of George McMillen,
and the adult division in the Baptist
church in charge of Walter E. Myers,
one of the state workers.
Tuesday evening at 6:45 o’clock
there was a parade of Sunday school
children to the Methodist church
where Wetzler’s band gave a half
hour’s concert. This was followed by
a song service at 7:30 o’clock and by
| that time the crowd was so large that
it was found necessary to hold an
i overflow meeting in the Presbyterian
{ church, which was soon filled to the
doors. Walter E. Myers and Mrs.
John Y. Boyd, of Harisburg, alternat-
| ed in addressing both meetings and
i before adjournment a collection was
| taken up to help bear the expense of
the county work.
i Following the devotions at the Wed-
| nesday morning session W. A. Ridge
talked on the monthly workers meet-
ings, which was followed by a discus-
sion and music. Hon. Ives L. Harvey
then read a telegram of encouragement
from Hon. John Wanamaker and upon
motion the secretary was instructed
to send a suitable reply to the promi-
nent Philadelphian. After an address
by Mr. Myers on graded instruction
the committee on nominations recom-
mended the election of officers for the
ensuing year as follows: President,
E. R. Hancock; vice president, A. M.
Lutton; secretary, Darius Waite;
treasurer, C. C .Shuey, all of whom
were elected. A motion was passed
that the officers elected in conjunction
with the twelve district presidents
should constitute the executive com-
i mittee, and that said committee select
the departmental superintendents.
The secretary was requested to sup-
‘ply a statement relative to the sta-
! tistical reports giving the enrollment
of the districts and county enrollment,
| the latter being 17,890 teachers and
pupils. The question of raising the
budget for the county work on the ba-
I sis of ten cents per member was dis-
"cussed. Envelopes were then circulat-
"ed throughout the convention for the
purpose of assistance in raising the
budget, with the understanding that
all those contributing one dollar would
receive the Pennsylvania Herald one
year. The auditing committee report-
i ed that they had examined the ac-
counts of the treasurer and found
them correct.
At the Wednesday afternoon session
, treasurer C. C. Shuey read his report
i which was approved and accepted. The
question of the place for holding next
year’s convention was then taken up.
Millheim people presented the only
invitation and on motion it was de-
cided to hold the 1922 convention
there. A motion was also passed that
in the future a registration fee would
be required of all delegates to assist
in their entertainment outside of lodg-
ing and breakfast, and that the
amount of fee be decided by the ex-
ecutive committee.
A vote of thanks was extended the
people of Milesburg for their courte-
ous and open-hearted entertainment;
also to Mr. Wetzler and his band for
their delightful concert. Rev. L. T.
Evans, George Bixler and Mrs. D. R.
Foreman were appointed a committee
to interview the newspaper people of
the county relative to devoting more
space to the Sunday schools and tem-
perance cause. Miss Amanda Landes,
sister of the state secretary, made a
brief address and the session closed
after a round table discussion conduct-
ed by Mr. Myers.
At the closing session Wednesday
evening the officers for the ensuing
year were installed by Hon. Ives L.
Harvey. These included those named
above and Mrs. C. E. McGirk, primary
superintendent; Hugh Dale, young
people’s superintendent; S. W. Gram-
ley, adult division superintendent;
Lloyd Stover, home department su-
perintendent; Mrs. Rachael Thomas,
temperance superintendent; Mrs. R.
S. Brouse, missionary superintendent,
and A. C. Thompson, teacher training
superintendent. After brief talks by
Walter E. Myers and Miss Landes the
chief address of the evening was made
by Hon. B. F. Bungard, of Portage,
Pa., on the Sunday school in the light
of the Twentieth century progress.

——Flag day was celebrated Tues-

present. A very interesting address
on the flag was delivered by Rev. W.
P. Ard.
President Harding on Tuesday
appointed Hon. Cyrus E. Woods,
Pennsylvania’s Secretary of the Com-
monwealth, Ambassador to Spain.
This will leave a vacancy in Governor
Sproul’s official family to be filled in
the event of Mr. Woods’ acceptance,
which is considered as quite certain.

Notwithstanding the fact that
the weather is hot the Scenic is about
as comfortable as any place in Belle-
fonte, and the interesting programs of
motion pictures affords pleasant en-
tertainment every evening during the
week. Some very interesting pictures
are down on the program for the com-
ing week. Read the list as published
elsewhere in this paper, then go every
evening so as not to miss the good
ones.
——Everybody who is interested
in the conservation of our natural re-
sources should attend the big conser-
vation meet in Bellefonte today. A
good program has been arranged for
this morning but the best part will
probably be the conservation meeting
in the court house at 2:30 o’clock this
afternoon. The speakers will include,
Hon. Seth Gordon, commissioner of
game; Hon. N. R. Buller, commission-
er of fish; R. F. Beatty, of Hunting-
don county, and Grant Hoover, of Wil-
liamsport, but formerly of Bellefonte.

——L. H. Wian, who has seen twen-
ty years of service as Bellefonte man-
ager for the Atlantic Refining compa-
ny, has been placed on “Easy Street”
so far as manual labor will be eon-
cerned in the future. A new truck
and driver has been added to the com-
pany’s equipment in this place and
henceforth Mr. Wian will put in his
time in the office and leave others do
the outside work. This must not be
construed as meaning that Mr. Wian
is playing out physically, because he
is not. It simply shows that the com-
pany is rewarding faithful service by
making it a little easier for him in the
future.

Last Sunday afternoon James
Morrison, Andrew Saylor and Ellis
Hines started for Hecla park to take
a swim in the lake. A half mile this
side of Zion they heard the honking
of a horn behind them and turned to
the right to give the driver an oppor-
tunity to pass. The car swept by at
a high rate of speed but the driver
turned to the middle of the road too
soon and caught the left front wheel
of the car in which were the Belle-
fonte young men with the result that
their car was thrown against an em-
bankment and upset. The young men
recognized the driver of the other car
as Charles Workman, of Hecla, who
failed to stop to see how bad the dam-
age was to the other car. State police
were notified and they arrested Work-
man, who was given a hearing before
Justice Keichline on Monday evening
and bound over for trial at the Sep-
tember term of court.

church is again without a regular pas- '
tor, Dr. W. K. McKinney and wife
having left on Tuesday for their new
field of labor at Westfield, N. J. Asa’
farewell gathering in honor of Dr.
McKinney the men of the church gave
a clam bake last Saturday afternoon
at the Seig camp on Fishing creek,
which proved an enjoyable occasion
from an epicurean standpoint. Chil-
dren’s day services were held in the
church on Sunday morning and Sun-
day evening Dr. McKinney preach-
ed as his last sermon to the Bellefonte
congregation the same sermon he
preached ¢n his first appearance before
the congregation over five years ago.
He did not make of it a farewell ser-
mon but at the conclusion of the sery-
ices he took occasion to say a personal
goodbye to many members of his con-
gregation. While the people of Belle-
fonte generally, regardless of church
affiliations, regretted Dr. McKinney’s
departure from Bellefonte they all
wish him success in the future.

TO BORE FOR GAS AND OIL.
Options Taken on Thousands of Acres
: in Bald Eagle Valley.
. A company is being formed in Belle-
fonte for the purpose of prospecting
for gas and oil in Bald Eagle valley
and options have already been secur-
ed on several thousand acres of land
in the vicinity of Snow Shoe Intersec-
tion where the first hole will be put ;
down. Robert Bradley, a former
Bellefonte boy but who for a number
of years has lived in Bradford, is the
promoter, and has practically dispos-
ed of all available stock. He has also
entered into a contract with a respon-
sible driller to put down the first test
hole and it is the intention to begin
work in the near future.
A meeting of the purchasers of
stock will likely be held within the
next few days to organize the com-
pany and complete all necessary de-
tails for drilling test wells. Mr.
Bradley, the promotor, evidently be-
lieves the indications are good for oil
and gas in Bald Eagle valley and will
be in personal charge of the prospect-
ing work. At various periods in past
years stories have come to the fore- |
front of indications of oil and gas in
Bald Eagle valley but up to this time
nobody has had the courage to make
a test. But now there is every assur-
ance that the company about to be or-
ganized, which will include some of
the most prominent business men of
Bellefonte, will carry the investiga-
tion through to a finish—either to the
time when they strike oil or are con- '
vinced there is none in this section of
the State.
Three Men Fined for Killing Deer Out
: of Season.
Stewart and Howard Ellenberger
and Elmer Barto, all of Marengo, this
county, were arrested the latter part
of last week by game protector B. A.
Benson, of Huntingdon county, on the
charge of killing a deer out of season
and the evidence presented at a hear-
ing before justice of the peace E. K.
Woomer, of Graysville, was of so con-
clusive a character that the men were
each fined one hundred dollars and
costs, which they paid.
Game protector Benson early last
week got an inkling of the fact that a
deer had been killed at a “lick” in the |
Barrens near Marengo on or about
May 26th. With nothing more definite
than a rumor to work on Benson start-
.ed to run the story to earth and had
little difficulty in finding the “lick,”
and continuing the search he soon
found the head and the hide of a doe
buried beneath some underbrush and
leaves. He then went to the Stewart
Ellenberger home where he found a
small tub of venison in the cellar. At
the Howard Ellenberger home he
found venison in pickle in the smoke
house and at the Barto home a piece
of the venison was being cocked for
dinner.
arrest and took them before ’Squire
Woomer who fined them each $100 and '
costs. The men got off easy at that,
as they could have been fined $300
each, but upon their pledge to obey
the game laws in the future the min-
imum fine was imposed. While neith-
er of the men arrested admitted the
killing Stewart Ellenberger said “it
was a fine doe, and dressed 140
pounds.”
Valuable Pocketbook Lost and Found.
made a motor trip to State College.
In the neighborhood of the Shiloh
church he had a tire puncture and nat-
urally was obliged to fix it. When he
returned to Bellefonte he discovered
he had lost his pocketbook containing
$160.00 in cash and two notes, one for
$250.00 and one for $8,500.00. Nat-
urally Mr. Schooley was a greatly
worried man for a day or two, but on
Friday he was notified by one of the
Bellefonte banks that the pocketbook
had been found and would be returned
to him. It later developed that the
book had been found in the road near
the Shiloh church, where Mr. Schooley
had changed tires on his automobile,
by former county commissioner D. A.
Grove. Notwithstanding the fact that
Mr. Schooley was willing to pay a nice
reward for the return of the pocket-
book and contents Mr. Grove declined
| to take anything, as he considered it
‘only an act of courtesy to return it
intact.
