Returning home from a pleasure | ride into Bald Eagle valley on Sunday | morning Isaiah Curtin Beatty, of | North Philipsburg, was instantly kill- | ed when the car in which he was a | passenger overturned on the mountain road just above Flat Rock, and his | neck was broken when he was caught and pinned under the car. | Mr. and Mrs. Beatty were guests of | Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Comley who, | with their son Merle and daughter! Jean and ten year old Lena Goss, mo- tored over the mountain early in the morning to the home of Mr. Comley’s brother, Ellwood Comiey and family, at Unionville. They were on their way home and at the steep point in the mountain just above Flat Rock Mr. Comley attempted to change into low gear and killed his motor. The car at once started backwards down the steep mountain and to avert going over the embankment Mr. Comley steered the car into the bank at the right side of the road. Unfortunately the car had already gained considera- ble speed and instead of stopping the right rear wheel ran up on the bank and the car upset. All the occupants were caught beneath it. Mr. Comley managed to kick one of the front doors open and crawl- ed out then by lifting on the side of the car released the two women and children, none of whom were seriously hurt. While Mr. Comley lifted on the car the two women pulled Mr. Beatty out from beneath it, but he was al- ready dead, and it later developed that his neck was broken and skull fractur- ed, so that death must have been in- stantaneous. Word was at once sent to the Flat Rock club house a short distance away and cars were obtained there to convey the entire party to Philipsburg. Mr. Beatty was a son of Isaiah and Harriet Beaty and was born in Hus- ton township on September 22nd, 1860, hence was in his sixty-first year. He was a miner by occupation and is survived by his wife, his mother and one sister, Mrs. Robert M. Emigh, of Patton. He was a member of the Church of Christ, the Moose and Ea- gles. Burial was made in the Phil- ipsburg cemetery on Tuesday after- noon. Kennett Square Woman Killed in! Railroad Accident. | Mrs. Helen Walker, of Kennett Square, daughter of former State Sen- ator Richard J. Baldwin, of Delaware | county, and a sister-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Walker, of Bellefonte, was instantly killed by a train on the Pennsylvania railroad near Menden- hall, Chester county, late Sunday night, when she leaped from an auto- | mobile after it had stalled on the railroad tracks. Mrs. Walker, with her husband, Wil- liam Walker, and their two children, William and Elizabeth, were on their way home from spending the day with friends at Chad’s Ford. As they near- ed the Mendenhall crossing “Mr. Walk- er reduced the speed of his machine, | remarking at the time that it was a dangerous crossing. When the car was halfway across the tracks it stalled and almost instantly the head- light of an approaching train flashed into view. Mrs. Walker, who was in the rear seat with her three year old daughter, leaped from the car and as she did so threw her baby down the embankment. Almost at the same time Mr. Walker got the machine started and shot off the tracks just as the train thundered by in the rear. He stopped as quickly as possible and looked around to speak to his wife but was horrified to discover that she and the baby were missing, and this was the first knowledge he had that she had jumped from the car. A search disclosed her dead body and also the baby safe except for a few scratches and bruises. In jump- ing Mrs. Walker evidently alighted on the track and had not time to get out of the way of the swiftly moving train. The unfortunate woman's hus- band, William Walker, will be remem- bered by many people in Bellefonte as he was in business here several years in the latter nineties. He is now a seed merchant in Philadelphia. Conference of School Directors. A conference of school directors of Pennsylvania in co-operation with the . State Department of Public Instruc- tion will be held at State College on Thursday and Friday, July 7th and 8th.

Morning and afternoon sessions will be held each day of the conference. — Nominally speaking Tuesday was the longest day of the year and the beginning of summer.

Several weeks ago the “Watchman” carried an article about the passing away of the passenger pigeon, a fact regretted by both hunters and natur- alists. This week’s mail brought a letter to this office from J. W. Young, of Kerrmoor, who says that he re- members some fifty or sixty years ago when pigeons were so plentiful that they were a pest to the farmers. In ' those days all kids of grain was sowed by hand and harrowed into the ground, and the pigeons were so tame they would follow the harrow and pick up all the grain that remained uncovered. They were also very fond of buck- | wheat and in the fall of the year, Mr. | Young says, he has seen whole fields | literally beaten to the ground by the | pigeons. As a boy he would take his | father’s gun and slip out to the fields, | make a noise to scare up the pigeons | then shoot into the flocks. Thé flocks i were so dense that one shot would { bring down a number of birds. The | pigeons were also very fond of poke { berries.

The fourth annual reunion of the Peters families was held in Kohlbeck- | er's woods, near Milesburg, Saturday, June 18th. In spite of the stormy weather Friday evening the gather- ing was well attended. At an early hour the people began to assemble, bringing with them baskets laden with all sorts of good things to eat. Those who came from the direction of Belle- fonte had to walk from Milesburg to the grove, as the state road is under construction. The others took their automobiles to the entrance of the grounds. But it made no difference how they came, all were glad they were there. newing old acquaintances and talking over the scenes and doings of their childhood, a couple of young women took the children off by themselves and played games with them. “Lucy Locket” seemed to be the most inter- esting for it was not long until some of the other folks decided they wanted to play it, too. At noon the baskets were unpacked and the contents placed upon one long table. Many declared they had been saving up for this occasion for a week. And, indeed. one would have thought so, to have seen some people eat. There was an abundance of everything in the eating line. After the tables had been cleared, Mr. Orvis Peters, the president, called the people togeth- . er for the afternoon’s program. Grant Hoover, of Williamsport, in his ad- the Peters family.

In his address | he spoke of building up the forests, the government, and the Sunday school. This very important work takes time, brains, labor, money, sac- Family reunions can help in this work. A very interesting letter from J. L. Peters, of West Liberty, Iowa, was read by Clarence Peters. Miss Eliz- abeth Peters, of Lewistown, recited some poetry about trees, which was appropriate to the place and in line of thought with the addresses of the afternoon. Mary Eckenroth and Edith Swartz also recited very well. Following the program the business ! session was held. The following offi- | cers were elected for the coming year: President, William F. Peters; vice | president, Samuel Weaver; secretary, E. M. Peters; treasurer, Frank Peters. | It was decided that the president should appoint a social committee to young and old in the way of sports and games for the next reunion. A vote of thanks was extended the women for the excellent dinner they had served, and the meeting adjourn- ed until next year. Many stayed for supper, making the day last as long as possible. It was the general opinion of the crowd that the fourth reunion was a success, the best one yet. ONE WHO WAS THERE. a. Gardeners in Bellefonte and farmers in some portions of Centre county got what they have long been hoping for on Wednesday in a real downpour of rain, but the weather man must have it in for the people in Buffalo Run valley, especially in the neighborhood of Waddle, where it did not rain a drop. Burgess W. Harrison Walker has requested the “Watchman” to call attention to the fact that the procla- mation recently issued regarding the prohibition of fireworks before the Fourth of July or after that date will be strictly enforced. Another Drop in Price of Kerosene. Another cut in the price of kerosene oil has just been announced by the At- lantic Refining company. This latest step in the downward trend of kero- sene prices puts the price from tank wagons at 12 cents per gallon. This figure amounts to a 40 per cent. re- duction which has been effected since last February. From February 26, 1920, to Febiu- ary 3 of this year, the Atlantic Refin- ing company’s price of kerosene was steady at 20 cents per gallon. The price was cut three cents during Feb- ruary and another cent in March. These reductions were followed by a two-cent drop in May. Two more cents during the present month have brought the price to 12 cents. Because of the wide use of kerosene oil throughout the agricultural sec- tions of Pennsylvania and Delaware, this new fall in prices will be of real interest to farmers. Although trac- tors are standard equipment on almost every modern farm in these regions, it 1s reported there has been a notice- able tendency on the part of their owners to revert to horses because of the price of kerosene for fuel. This has been true even in recent months because of a general impression that kerosene was still selling at 22 to 25 cents a gallon. The new 12-cent low level will come to them as a pleasant surprise. The reduction will be welcomed as enthusiastically by the farmer’s wife. In the districts beyond the gas pipe and electric wire, kerosene oil stoves are used widely to replace the coal range in summer. With the new price, it will be easily possible for housewives to do their cooking with kerosene, and remain free from the discomfort of working near a coal or wood stove during the hot summer months. dress, told something of the history of | He said a family reunion is | busy life and are apt to forget each. rifice and honest men and women. | arrange for the entertainment of both | NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. (Continued from page 8, column 6). — Mrs. Fred B.

Miss Smith will return to Belleforite in July to spend her ' vacation with her father, J. Frank Smith and his family. —Mr. and Mrs. Daniel W. Showalter and daughter Joyce went to Mifflinburg yester- i day- to attend the funeral of Mr. Showal- ter's father, John Wesley Showalter, who died on Monday. He was a native of Cen- tre county, a veteran of the Civil war and cigihy-three years of age. — Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lyman and Mr. and Mrs. DeArment, of Bradford, stopped in vellefonte for a vhort time Thursday, to greet some former friends of Mr. Lyman, who was on his way for a visit in his home ‘ town, Milesburg. When leaving there the party continued their drive to Pitcairn, where they will spend a week or more he- fore returning to Bradford. Soldiers Memorial for Milesburg. Milesburg is to have a soldiers mon- ument and we know of no place in the | county more worthy of such a memor- ‘ial. A movement looking to this end has been started by Toner Hugg, of that place, and as now planned the monument will be put up on the green at the head of Water street, just across from the big power plant of . the State-Centre Electric company. The monument will be a triangle of concrete faced with buff brick, each side of the triangle to be eight feet | long and eight feet high. Surmount- {ing the triangle will be the figure of ! a doughboy, six feet, three inches high, carved out of Italian marble. | On the front of the triangle will be a | bronze plate bearing the names of the t soldiers in the world war. Bronze plates will adorn the other two sides of the triangle, one of them contain- ing the names of Civil war veterans and the other those who served in the Spanish-American war. The material for the base has al- ready been arranged for, most of which will be donated to the worthy cause, while those in charge expect soon to place the order for the marble figure of the doughboy. This, of course, will cost considerable money, and while the people of Milesburg do | not expect to go a begging for money | to pay for their mounment, they will | not refuse to accept any voluntary con- tributions given. Mr. O- E. Miles has | been appointed treasurer of the fund land any one feeling disposed to give \ anything should send direct to him. The churches apd civic organiza- tions of Milesburg have united in an effort to help raise the money and Frank L. Wetzler has volunteered the services of his famous Boys band to help along in the campaign. As now planned the band will give weekly con- certs in Bellefonte, on the band stand in the Diamond, probably Saturday nights, and on those occasions volun- tary contributions will be received. No definite amount will be asked but anything from a penny up will be ap- preciated. It is hardly necessary for the “Watchman” to call attention to the fact that during the war no other com- raunity in Centre county excelled the people of Milesburg in patriotism. In every drive made, whether it was Lib- erty loan, Red Cross, or for some oth- er good cause, they always went over the top of their quota, sometimes giv- ig double their portion; and everybody in Bellefonte recalls how Mr. Wetzler and his band were always on hand, no matter what the hour, to escort the soldier boys to the train, or appear in any patriotic parade. Because of this fact the public generally should give them a hearty response now. . — Last Saturday evening Miss Verna Lingle, of Tusseyville, aged nineteen years, started a fire in the kitchen range for the purpose of pre- paring supper for the family, using some sticks of wood her father had cut and taken into the house a short time previous. A few minutes later there was an explosion and the young woman received several buckshot in her legs just above the knees. She was brought to the Bellefonte hospital where the leaden pellets were removed. The only explanation of the accident is that a buckshot shell must have be- come imbedded in the wood in some way and was discharged by the heat of the fire. While her wounds are not regarded as serious, they are quite painful. —_Bald Eagle Grange, No. 151, will hold memorial services in the Milesburg Presbyterian church on Sunday, June 26th, at two o’clock p. m.
