Bellefonte, Pa., August 12, 1921.
i ———
ALL ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
— During the month of August
the Pennsylvania Match company will
be in operation but five days a week,
being closed all day on Saturdays.
— The new Bellefonte Lumber
company last week applied to the state
employment bureau in Altoona for
four or five experienced mill workers.
——All persons having carpenter
tools borrowed from the late J. Rich-
ard Lutz, will please return same at
ance to his wife, Mrs. J. Richard
Rutz.
— Charles R. Kurtz and family,
who spent the past eight years at
Overbrook, moved back to Bellefonte
last week and are now occupying their
own home on High street.
——Howard people are banking on
a gala time tomorrow afternoon and
evening when they will make merry
with two games of ball, band concerts
and a big festival in the evening.
— Many Bellefonte firemen will
attend the annual convention of the
Central Pennsylvania Volunteer Fire-
men’s association to be held in Phil-
ipsburg Wednesday and Thursday of
next week.
— Mrs. W. Fred Reynolds, of
Bellefonte, and Mrs. Charles E. Mec-
Girk, of Philipsburg, have been ap-
pointed members of the Centre county
poard to distribute the mother’s as-
sistance fund.
The remains of a world war
soldier named Brill, who died in
France and were just brought to this
country, will be brought here this
afternoon for burial. The family lived
here years ago but Brill enlisted for
service at Sunbury.
——Mr. and Mrs. Paul D. Sheffer
have announced the engagement of
their daughter, Miss Mabel Elizabeth
Sheffer to John Wynn Fredericks, of
Lock Haven. Although no definite
date has been set for the wedding, it
will probably take place within the
year. .
— Work was started last week on
the digging of the foundations for the
new Keystone Gas and Oil company
supply station on the lot recently pur-
chased off of the Haag property on
east Bishop street. The building will
be located just across Penn street
from the Undine fire company house.
Miss Mary Frank, of Ferguson
township, was bitten on the instep by
a rattlesnake on Monday while taking
the cows home from pasture. A phy-
sician was hastily summoned who cau-
terized the wound and administered
an antidote and the young lady is
now getting along all right. The
snake was killed. .
———One of the worst freight wrecks
that has occurred on the Bald Eagle
Valley railroad for some time took
place at Julian about noon on Wed-
nesday when ten coal cars were piled
up indiscriminately. The track was
so badly blocked that the Pennsylva-
nia flyer east and west was annulled
an the Tyrone division and sent
around by way of Lewistown and Sun-
bury.
According to Dr. Bertoni, a sci-
entific explorer, a tree has been dis-
covered in Paraguay which the natives
term the “winesap’” tree. It derives
its name from the fact that when the
bark is punctured it yields up a co-
pious stream of rich, red wine, with an
enticing bouquet, etc. Any Belle-
fonter wishing to engage in a lucra-
tive business might engage as an im-
porter of the winesap tree, as they
would undoubtedly be easy to dispose
of.
———Now that the 1921 Chautauqua
is a thing of the past Bellefonters will
have to fall back on the Scenic as the
one place of entertainment and amuse-
ment. In doing so, however, they can
rely on the fact that they will always
see the best motion pictures obtaina-
ble. Manager T. Clayton Brown not
only secures the regular circuit pro-
gram of pictures but makes.it a point
to book all specials just as soon as
they can be obtained. Scenic pictures
always please Scenic patrons.
— Petitions have been circulated
in Bellefonte and Centre county dur-
ing the week, at the instance of the
Women’s clubs, in behalf of Miss Lu-
erecia V. Simmons, of State College,
as a delegate from this congressional
district to the proposed constitutional
convention. Miss Simmons was for
several yeirs dean of women at the
College but resigned that chair to be-
come professor of languages. She is
an enthusiastic student of political
economy and a confirmed believer in
equal rights for women.
——Dr. C. A. VanValin loaded his
dentist equipage em a big truck on
Tuesday morning, closed his office in
this place and going to Unionville
completed the loading of the truck
with household furniture and depart-
ed for his new home in Williamsport.
It is twenty-three years since Dr. Van
Valin opened his dental office in Belle-
fonte and his departure from here was
not because of lack of work but for
the reason that he has a son already
located in Williamsport and he felt
that that city offered better opportu-
nities for his children, who are fast
growing into young men and women.
Mrs. VanValin is a sufferer with neu-
ritis and is at present with friends in
Tyrone, and it is the intention of her
bhusband and children to have their
new home all fixed up by the time she
concludes her visit in Blair county.
The doctor's departure from Belle-
fonte means the closing of the second
dental office in Bellefonte within six
weeks, Dr. J. E. Caldwell going to
Lewistown about the first of July.
BIG PROGRAM FOR BUSINESS
MEN’S PICNIC.
Everything Ready for Outing at Hec-
la Park Next Thursday. Will
You be There?
The various committees have prac-
tically completed arrangements for
the big picnic of the Business Men’s
Association of Bellefonte, which will
be held at Hecla park next Thursday,
August 18th. Indications point to a
record crowd, not only from Belle-
fonte, but Philipsburg, State College,
Lock Haven and intervening points.
Arrangements have been made for
ample bus facilities to handle the
crowd. Following is the program in
full:
9:30 a. m.—Band concert by the Odd Fel-
lows band.
10:00 a. m.—Canoe race and tilting contest.
10:30 a. m.—baseball game between the
Lock Haven business men and
the Bellefonte business men.
12:00—Meals will be served on the grbund
by the celebrated caterer,
“Jerles.”
1:00 p. m.—Dancing from 1 to 5 p. m.
1:30 p. m.—Band concert.
2:00 p. m.—Swimming race and canoe tilt-
ing contest.

celebrated Eagle Silk Mill
team, of Shamokin, and the

Be sure to be on hand for the busi-
ness men’s game, as it will be worth
seeing.
Canoes will be furnished by the
Bald Eagle canoe house at reasonable
charge, and there will be several life
guards on hand in case of accident.
“Jerles,” the famous caterer, will
serve the meals on the grounds at a
reasonable charge, so don’t bother
with a basket.
The ball game between the Silk
Mill and Philipsburg teams promises
to be one of the fastest games ever
played in this section, and will be
worth while seeing, as both teams
have a wonderful record in their re-
spective localities. It will be umpir-
ed by the well known big league um-
pire, “Goconour,” from Altoona, who
knows his business and will make it
fast.
The band concerts will be given by
the Odd Fellows band, of Bellefonte,
and they are worth hearing.
There will be plenty of drinking
water on hand, and the committee has
made arrangements to have it iced.
A Red Cross nurse will be on the
grounds all day in case she should be
needed.

Meyers busses will leave State Col-
lege at 9 a. m., 11 a. m. and 1 p. m.

Deer Frightened Team, One Horse
Killed.
John I. Thompson, son of Mr. and
Mrs. George B. Thompson, of Alto,
‘had a thrilling experience on Wednes-
day morning and the family is shy one
of their best driving horses all on ac-
count of a deer.
On Wednesday morning John hitch-
ed a team of spirited drivers to the
buggy and with two young friends
started on a drive to Scotia. The trip
is practically all through the Barrens,
a country thickly covered with second
and third growth timber and dense
underbrush, and while driving along
the road at a place where the brush
was unusually thick a big deer sud-
denly jumped out of cover alongside
the road right at the horses. The an-
imals took fright and ran away, with
the driver unable to stop them. For-
tunately for the occupants of the ve-
hicle the tongue broke loose which
probably saved them from a bad spill
and possibly serious injury.
Loose from the buggy the horses
ran along the road at breakneck speed
until they came to a forks in the road
when one of the animals undertook to
to go one way and the other took the
other road. The result was one of
them was thrown violently against a
tree and broke his neck. The other
horse stopped right there in its mad
flight and was caught by the boys.
— Troop B, Bellefonte’s unit of
the Pennsylvania National Guard, got
away to camp with flying colors last
Friday night. Notwithstanding the
fact that they did not entrain until al-
most midnight quite a number of
friends of the soldier boys were pres-
ent at the station to see them leave,
and the I. O. O. F. band escorted the
troop from the armory to the station.
The train which carried the soldiers
came from Lock Haven, carrying the
soldiers of that place, and going down
over the Lewisburg railroad picked up
the Boal troop at Oak Hall and the
troop at Lewisburg. *
———Worknlen started last week on
the installation of the new refrigerat-
ing plant in the basement of the Bon
Mot, next door to thc “Watchman” of-
fice, and according to the proprietor,
James Caldwell, it will take at least
two weeks to complete the installa-
tion. But once in he will have a very
complete plant and his consumption of
ice will be reduced to a minimum.
——The motion picture of the mak-
ing of a Studebaker Light-Six, from
the raw material to the finished car,
shown on the Diamond last Saturday
evening, was quite interesting, but the
greater part of the large crowd which
had gathered to see them disappeared
when the rain began to fall.
Notice to School Teachers.
The Brockerhoff house is again do-
ing business after being thoroughly
overhauled and refreshed. Nice
rooms, good table. Make your reser-
vations early for teachers’ institute.
31-2t
— The 194th anniversary of the
Mattern family of America will be
held at Stevens park, Tyrone, Thurs-
day, August 18th, 1921. On account
of many changes every one of the con-
nection will kindly consider them-
selves a committee of one to notify
all the friends.
— The Granger’s picnic at War-
riorsmark, which is the one big pic-
nic for the people in Warriorsmark
valley and the western end of Centre
county, will be held in the Mattern
park at Warriorsmark tomorrow.
Judge Thomas G. Bailey, of Hunting-
don, will be the principal speaker,
while the versatile George G. Hutch-
inson will also be in evidence.
——The Mack-Murray company will
give an entertainment in the opera
house on Friday evening, August 19th,
entitled “Her Father’s Curse,” for the
benefit of the Milesburg soldiers’ me-
morial fund. The people of Milesburg
and vicinity always responded as lib-
erally as possible to every appeal for
help during the world war, and al-
ways entered into every public spir-
ited movement promulgated by the
citizens of Bellefonte. This will be a
good opportunity to reciprocate. At-
tend the above entertainment and help
swell the Milesburg monument fund.
Admission, 25, 35 and 50 cents.
A gang of five foreigners were
arrested at Cleveland, Ohio, last week
who are believed to be the men who
held up the Manhattan limited on the
Pennsylvania railroad, at Gallitzin
two weeks ago, and robbed the mail
car. The five men formerly lived at
Cassandra, west of Gallitzin, and are
believed to be the men who perpetrat-
ed other robberies in Clearfield and
Cambria counties. The men will be
extradited to Pennsylvania for trial.
Apropos of the train robbery, no state-
ment of the loss has yet been given
out. The railroad company and postal
authorities contend that not much of
value was taken but there are also
persistent rumors that the amount will
run anywhere from $50,000 to $200,
000.
— The new refrigerating plant at
the Clevenstine bakery on Allegheny
street was completed last Thursday
and tested as to efficiency. In five
hours the freezing room was run down
to a temperature of six degrees be-
low zero on Thursday evening. The
plant was shut down and Friday
morning the temperature had gone up
to four degrees above zero. The pow-
er was again turned on and in one
hour’s time the temperature was run
down to five degrees below zero, thus
proving the plant to be thoroughly ef-
ficient in every way. Mr. Clevenstine
will not now be dependent on ice for
freezing his ice cream, and the only
quantity he will need will be for pack-
ing the cream for delivery. He has
even extended the pipes of his plant!
to the refrigerator in his residence
above the store. In putting in the
plant he left connections so that at
any time in the future that he wishes
to add an artificial ice making equip-
ment, he can do so.
Capt. E. R. Taylor, who has not
been in good health for some time,
will go to Pittsburgh the latter part of
the week and enter the Marine hos-
pital for treatment. The Captain has
made two trips to the Smoky city for
examination and physicians have], yoy ol the Port Matilda and East
finally advised him to go to the hos-
pital for treatment. The fact will be
recalled that shortly after Troop L.
was called for service in the world war
Mr. Taylor, who was then first lieu-
tenant of the troop, sustained a brok-
| en leg by being kicked by one of the
troop horses. He spent six weeks in
the Bellefonte hospital and, though he
was still using a crutch when the
troop went to Camp Hancock, he went
along, trained there and went over-
seas. In his first engagement at the
battle of the Marne he was captured
by the Germans and was held a pris-
oner until after the signing of the
armistice. His present disability, he
believes, dates back to his service in
the world war and he has decided to
undergo a regular course of treatment.
Just how long he will have to remain
at the hospital will depend upon cir-
cumstances.
— Our Methodist friends in Half- |
moon valley have been holding anoth-
er of their delightful home-comings
this week at Gray’s church. The serv-
ices began last Sunday, and a half doz-
en or more former pastors have been in
attendance. The sermon this (Fri-
day) evening will be preached by Rev.
William M. Young, of Duboistown.
Tomorrow (Saturday) everybody will
unite in a big community picnic to be
held at Scotia park. There will be two
ball games, one in the morning and
one in the afternoon; a regular picnic
dinner at one big table and addresses
in the afternoon by Dr. Edwin A.
Pyles, of Williamsport, and R. G.
Bressler, of State College. The week
will close on Sunday with a whirlwind
of religious services, which will in-
clude Sunday school at 9:45 a. m.,
preaching at 10:45 by Rev." W. H.
Hartsock, of Harrisburg; a song serv-
ice at 2:30 p. m., and an evangelistic
service at 2:45 with a sermen by Rev,
F. W. Biddle, of Renovo. In the even-
ing there will be a song service and
another sermon by Rev. Hartsock.
The public is invited to attend the pic-.
nic tomorrow and all the services on
Sunday.
SOLDIERS NAMES WANTED.
If Your Name is Not on This List
Report at Once.
Some weeks ago the “Watchman”
told of the movement of the people of
Milesburg toward the erection of a
soldiers’ monument in that place, and
said movement is now so far under
way that the monument is assured. In
fact the concrete foundation is in place
and an order placed for the statue.
Bronze tablets will be placed on the
monument on which will appear the
names of the men from Milesburg and
vicinity who were in service from the
Spanish-American war to the world’s
war, inclusive. The committee has
compiled a list of these men, so far as
they have been able to secure the
names. They hope it is correct, but in
the event of any mistakes, either in
the spelling of names or in the omis-
sion of any names, the list is publish-
ed below. If any soldier has been
omitted he is requested to report the
fact at once to Toner A. Hugg, Miles-
burg. The (*) attached to a name in-
dicates that the man was either killed
or died in service. Following is the

——Judge Quigley on Wednesday
morning handed down his decision on
the application for a new trial in the
case of N. E. Shaughnessey vs. The
Pennsylvania Railroad company, in
which lie refused the application and
directed that judgment be entered for
the defendant. The plaintiff brought
an action against the railroad compa-
ny to recover damages for alleged in-
juries sustained in a railroad wreck at
Dix, on the Bald Eagle Valley rail-
road. The case was tried last Decem-
ber and after hearing the evidence the
court dircted the jury to return a ver-
dict for the defendant. An applica-
tion was promptly made for a new tri-
al. The ease was argued in May and
the court’s decision refuses the ap-
plication.
——Only eleven more days until the
expiration of the time for the filing of
