Bellefonte, Pa., July 29, 1921.
ALL ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
——Buy your Chautauqua season
ticket now.
——John Bailey Goheen, an old
Ferguson township boy, has been ap-
pointed captain of Troop B, Tyrone’s
erack cavalry organization.
——See the new prices on gasoline
and oil as published in the Bellefonte
Fuel and Supply company’s advertise-
ment in another column.

Methodist church, Sunday, at 7:30
Pm
——On Monday John Shutt took his
three children to Womelsdorf, Berks
county, where they were placed in the
erphan’s home of the Reformed
church.
The new Bellefonte Lumber

near future to install machinery for
making sucker sticks, skewers and
flag poles.
——A little daughter, whose name
is Ruth Elizabeth, was born recently
to Dr. and Mrs. Alden B. Jones, of
Philadelphia. Mrs. Jones is well
known in Bellefonte as Miss Mary
Kline.
Another auto wreck occurred
last Friday at the sharp curve in the
state road above Central City, where
the: fatal accident took place on July
4th. - Fortunately no one was serious-
ly hurt but the machine was consider-
ably damaged.
——A regular meeting of Centre
sounty Pomona Grange will be held
in Milesburg, Saturday, August 13th.
The usual forenoon and afternoon
sessions will be held. All Grangers
are invited to be present. Take a
lunch with you.
Centre county threshermen who
have started hulling out the golden
grain report a good yield of excellent
quality wheat. Taking it as a whole
the yield in the county should be a
good one, as comparatively few fields
were damaged by the fly.
The borough auditors have
completed the audit of the accounts of
the Bellefonte school district for the
year ending June 30th, 1921, and one
of the principal items of interest to
the taxpayers is the fact that during
the year ten thousand dollars’ worth
of bonds of the issue of 1900 wexe re-
tired.
——Go to the Scenic and see the
motion pictures. Good programs
every night. Everybody has favor-
ites among the actors and actresses
and in order not to miss them you
should be a regular. Every show is
worth seeing. The programs include
big features and one and two rcel
comedies. Get the movie habit.
——Charles M. Waple, proprietor
af the Ward house, Tyrone, his son
Walter and a colored porter, Thomas
Brown, were arrested on Saturday on
the charge of having in their posses-
sion liquor contrary to thetlaws of the
State. While no liquor was discovered
in the bar room at the hotel twenty-
eight quarts of different vintages were
found in trunks stored in rooms on
the second floor of the hotel.
The Wednesday evening con-
eerts of the I. O. O. F. band in Belle- |
fonte continue to draw good crowds
each week. As an organization the
band is only about two years old but
it already compares most favorably
with any band in this part of the
State. Because of this fact it is very
much in demand, last week filling two
all day engagements in addition to
the Wednesday evening concert.
——The Bellefonte school board has
filled up its list of teachers for the en-
suing year. Earl K. Stock having
been promoted to principal of the
High school to take the place of Iu-
gene H. Weik, resigned to go to State
College, William R. Ishler, of State
College, has been chosen as teacher of
science in the High school, and Miss
Winifred Hutchinson has been elected
to take the place of Miss Henrietta
Quigley, resigned.
A bevy of Bellefonte women
have organized a hiking club and on
Tuesday evening of each week take a
walk out into the country. As evi-
dence of how they have developed
their hiking abilities is the fact that
they will hike it to Milesburg or Snow
Shoe Intersection and back, or maybe
down to Zion, while last Tuesday
evening the trip was to Axe Mann and
return. They have already gone as
far as Pleasant Gap.
——The camp at Lamar for civil
engineering students of the second
year class at The Pennsylvania State
College was broken last week. There
were forty men in the group and they
spent four weeks at all kinds of sur-
veying and mapping work as a part
of their regular course requirements.
About thirty forestry students are still
encamped on the Lamar tract where
they are making a thorough study of
all branches of forest problems.
——In the neighborhood of three
hundred furloughed men were recall-
ed for work in the Pennsylvania rail-
road shops at Altoona this week, but
as most of them were for repair work
it is little indication of a general re-
sumption of work by the entire foree.
In fact there is no evidence of im-
provement in the business situation
hereabouts. The lime and stone in-
dustries are still at low ebb while
every week a few men are laid off at
other places, so that the outlook is
anything “but “encouraging. . In fact
the man who has a job now is sitting
tight and holding to it.
BUSINESS MEN’S BIG PICNIC.
Will be Held at Hecla Park on Thurs-
day, August 18th.
The county fair is of course a thing
of the past but the Associated Busi-
ness Men of Bellefonte will furnish
one big day of entertainment at Hecla
park, on the occasion of their annual
picnic on Thursday, August 18th. A
general invitation is extended to
everybody in Centre county to take
this one day off and attend this gath-
ering. Invitations have also been ex-
tended to Tyrone and Lock Haven peo-
ple to join in the outing and make it
2 day long to be remembered.
An elaborate program has already
been prepared which will include mu-
sic by the Odd Fellows band of Belle-
fonte; dancing in the pavilion with
Louis Hill’s orchestra furnishing mu-
sic; water sports and contests, includ-
ing some thrilling canoe tilting con-
tests, both morning and afternoon; a
free baseball game in the morning be-
tween picked teams from Lock Haven
and the Bellefonte business men; and
a feature game in the afternoon be-
tween the celebrated Eagle Silk Mill
team of Shamokin, and the crack Phil-
ipsburg nine. An admission of 50
cents and tax will be asked at the
afternoon game, the gate receipts to
be used in defraying expenses.
Lock Haven has some very good
swimmers who will be present during
the day and some swimming races and
contests are desired. ‘The committee
requests all good swimmers in this
section to get in touch with them in
order that’ some special events may be
arranged along this line. Surely
i there are a few good swimmers here
who can give Lock Haven a contest.
Recommend them to the committee.
There will be bathing and canoeing
all day. The Bald Eagle canoe house,
of Lock Haven, will have twenty-five
canoes on hand to rent out at a rea-
sonable price. They will also: have
bathing suits to rent to those who do
not care to bother taking them along
and there will be expert swimmers in
the water to assist in case there is any
call for assistanc.
Noon and evening meals will be fur-
nished at reasonable rates to those
who desire them. Jerles famous ca-
terer, of Lock Haven, will have charge
of the meals. In addition there will
be a liberal scattering of refreshment
and sandwich stands, novelty stands,
and the usual attraction the public
may expect to find at a big, first-class
picnic. There will be no gambling
devices on the grounds. The Red
! Cross nurse will be present and have a
| tent equipped for use in emergency
| calls,
i Admission to the grounds will be
| free. There is plenty of free parking
| space for those going in automobiles.
| Everything has been made as free as
possible consistent with good manage-
i ment.
{It is planned to arange for special
i train and bus service in all directions
{but no schedules have been arranged
|as yet. Transportation facilities will
{bc announced later. Special busses
Iwill care for the crowds expected from
Bellefonte, State College, Lock Haven,
Snow Shoe, Milesburg, Howard, Hub-
lersburg, Nittany and all nearby
towns. An effort will be made to reach
all points in Penn’s valley.
Bellefonte Woman as Chaperon on
World’s Tour.
Mrs. Elizabeth Callaway, of Belle-
fonte, has been appointed assistant
chaperon by Frank C. Clark for his
European tour on the Empress of
Scotland which will sail from New
York early in February, 1922, for a
three month’s cruise to the Mediter-
ranean Sea and the Holy Lands. Al-
ready quite a number of Bellefonte
people have booked reservations to go
with her on this delightful trip, which
will include many points of interest,
including various places in the Far
East which have been prominent in
the public mind during and since the
world war. About nine hundred peo-
ple will make up the party.
The Empress of Scotland, on which
they will sail, was formerly the Kai-
serin Augusta Victoria, of the Ham-
burg American line, and the same ves-
sel on which Mrs. Callaway and her
brother, George T. Bush returned to
i the States from their around the world
trip a number of years ago. It was
used during the war as a transport
and is now an Atlantic liner. It was
chartered by Mr. Clark for this pro-
posed trip, which is assurance of good
sailing accommodations. The cruise
will include stops at the Madeira
Islands, Gibraltar, Algiers, Cairo,
Egypt; Caifa and Smyrna, in: Asia
Minor, from where there will be an
overland trip to Jerusalem. Constan-
tinople, Athens, Naples, Rome and
Monte Carlo. At the latter place pas-
sengers will be given an opportunity
to leave the cruise for a tour of Eu-
rope, the return trip to America be-
ing made any time within four
months. Bookings for the trip,
which will include all necessary ex-
pense will vary from $600 to $2000,
according to stateroom desired, but all
the service will be first-class. Any
one desiring information of the cruise
| can secure it from Mrs. Callaway.
——Last Thursday while the Oscar
Gray family were at Hecla park at-
tending the Episcopal Sunday school
picnic some person maliciously entered
the Gray yard and stole the wheels off
of Carl’s bicycle. On Saturday one of
the wheels, minus the tire, was found
in a neighbor’s yard and on Monday
Carl was fortunate in getting back
the tire and the other wheel. They
had been taken by a boy who is old
enough to know better and it was
probably his willingness to return the
stolen parts that saved him from ar-
rest,
——The steel framework for the
roof of the new unit to the Bellefonte
silk mill is now in place and the filling
has been completed ready for the con-
crete floor.
the Shamokin Construction company,
are considerably ahead of schedule in
the construction of the building.
——A big evangelistic meeting has
been in progress at Julian this week
and will continue over Sunday. The
gospel workers include Miss Adlena
Behrent, of Shamokin; R. J. Gardner,
of Howard; Stewart Snyder, of Fish-
er’s Ferry, and J. E. Wolf, of Sunbury.
The gospel tent is filled every even-
ing and considerable interest and en-
thusiasm in the meetings are being
manifested by the people in that lo-
cality.
——A delegation of Clearfield coun-
ty road enthusiasts told Highway
Commissioner Lewis C. Sadler on
Monday that that county had a fund
of practically two million dollars |
available for road purposes and asked
the State to spend an equal amount
in putting the roads of that county in
good shape. Two million dollars is a
lot of money and it is a perplexing
question as to how our neighboring
county managed to get it all together,
but much as it is it will hardly suf-
fice to put all its roads in good shape.
——Some person or persons either
intentionally or unintentionally, wit-
tingly or unwittingly, did some press
agent work for Penn’s cave on Sunday
by the circulation of a report that a
boatload of sightseers had been
drowned in the lake in the cave when
i the boat capsized, and again on Mon-
day with a sensational story that the
cave had been blown up. Just how the
cave had been blown up or what be-
came of the water in it, was not in-
cluded in the story, but as a matter of
fact neither one of the reports were :
correct or had the least semblance of |
foundation. Inquiry revealed the fact
that there was not even an accident
of any kind at the cave. :
——The Bellefonte Academy is again
under roof, notwithstanding the fact
that it is only a little over six weeks
since the entire upper portion was
destroyed by fire. Such good progress
is being made on the repairs that
headmaster James R. Hughes feels
confident that the building will be in
shape for the opening of the school
term in September. But to do this it
will be necessary to rush the inside
work and as fast as the carpenters
get rooms in shape in one end of the
building they will be followed by the
plasterers and these by the finishers
and painters until the rooms are all
completed. The Academy will open
on time, as now planned, even if the
interior painting and finishing is not
quite done.
The high wind or a stroke of
lightning during Tuesday evening’s
i hard storm knocked the top off of the
chimney of the W. J. Emerick house
on Spring street adjoining the garage.
The house is now occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Jay Storch and Mrs. Storch was
in the kitchen at the time preparing
supper. No unusually hard stroke
was noticed at the time, and the first
intimation she had of anything out of
the ordinary was in the shape of a
cloud of ashes and soot from the
kitchen range combined with a thump-
ing on the roof as the brick came
tumbling down into the yard. While
no especial damage was done, as the
chimney can easily be rebuilt, the oc-
currence badly frightened Mus.
Storch. The storm and hard rain
seemed to run in streaks over the
county, and the rain, at least, came
at an opportune time, as the ground
was pretty dry and gardens and farm
crops were suffering for moisture.
——Mr. L. A. Miller, of Pleasant
Gap, who the past four years has
been the very efficient tax collector of
Spring township, will not be a candi-
date for a renomination at the Sep-
tember primaries, unless he changes
his mind. a fact the citizens of that
township will have good cause to re-
gret, because few collectors in the
county have made as clean a record
as Mr. Miller has in the past four
years. Without distressing any one
he gets the taxes and the only exon-
erations he has ever asked for are on
the dead who passed away without
leaving any tangible property or a
few unfortunates who are physically
unable to meet such obligations. Ac-
cording to his plans mapped out
now, when Mr. Miller closes up the
1921 duplicate he will take things a
little easier, do a little sight-seeing
and give the balance of his time to
his garden and fruit trees. May he
have many years in which to enjoy
the ideal life.
——1It may be the prolonged season
of unusually hot weather, and then
again it may be because of the Eigh-
teenth amendment, but the fact is un-
disputed, nevertheless, that more ice
cream is being consumed in Bellefonte
this year than ever before. In fact so
great is the demand that local manu-
facturers have not been able to meet
the demand and large quantities are
brought into Bellefonte daily from
other places. Shipments come in from
Lock Haven, Philipsburg and even
Harrisburg, while Davidson, of Win-
gate, has a good trade in Bellefonte.
One of the big reasons why local man-
ufacturers have been unable to supply
the demand is the shortage of ice, but
this will be overcome soon by the in-
stallation of refrigerating plants. As
stated two weeks ago Harry Cleven-
stine is installing a refrigerating
plant in his bakery on Allegheny
street and now the Bon Mot is being
put in shape for the installation of a
! small plant in the basement.
In fact, the contractors, ;

Cavalry Troop as Fire Fighters.
Adjutant General Beary and Chief
Forester Pinchot have agreed upon a
plan to use the State’s cavalry troops,
located in the mountainous sections of
the State, to combat forest fires. The
mounted troopers, it is believed, will
be specially valuable in rounding up
fire fighters when they are needed to
check the spread of flames.
The plan was suggested to Forester
Pinchot by district forester R. B. Win-
ter, of Mifflinburg, who worked it out
successfully with Captain Donald
Zimmerman, commanding officer of
Troop M, of Lewisburg. Volunteers
for the forest fire service will be re-
cruited in each cavalry troop in the
interior of the State.
Because of their favorable locations,
troops in the following places will be
asked to co-operate: Bellefonte, Lock
Haven, Boalsburg, Harrisburg, Ty-
rone, Carlisle, Punxsutawney, Altoo-
na and Chambersburg.
