body can complain as to the tempera-
ture of the last few days being at all
frosty.
— Newspaper reports state that
the government has changed the grade
of the paper in one thousand dollar
Bills, but we must confess we hadn’t
noticed it.
——The moon changed yesterday,
which naturally would mean a change
in weather but the old-time almanac
says the first week in September is to
be mild and clear.

ered sufficiently that he was able tc

day.
——Don’t spend your evenings sit-
ting at home and moping your life
away, go to the Scenic and get cheer-

run through Pennsvalley and Spruce
Creek valley to Tyrone on Monday,

ley. They will stop in Bellefonte and

Increased motor power is the
reason that the new western peniten-
tiary is finding it possible to reduce
the horse stock on the farms. Six
fine young animals, ranging in weight |
from 1150 to 1500 lbs., are scheduled

——At a congregational meeting of
the Presbyterian church of Bellefonte, |
on Wednesday evening, it was decid-
ed to postpone the issuing of a formal

Charles A. Morris has leased
the Ceader house on Spring street for
the winter and will go there with his
family, from the Bush house, early in
the month, or as soon as Mrs. Ceader
ean make arrangements to vacate the
home. Mrs. Ceader, who will remain

Considerable comment has been
heard on the appearance of the new
roof of the Bellefonte Academy, es-
pecially the rear portion of same which
does not conform to the front and
ends. Headmaster James R. Hughes
is authority for the statement that the
rear will in due time be made to con-
form with the front and ends of the
building. But this can and will be
done after the interior of the building
is completed so that there need be no
delay in the opening of the Academy
at the regular time.
——Up in Reese hollow, near Flat
Rock on the road from Port Matilda
to Philipsburg, lives Peter Kelly. He
is now sixty-five years old and up to
last Friday never was shaved or had
his hair cut by a barber. He always
shaved himself and some member of
the family cut his hair. Last Friday
he took a trip to Philipsburg and de-
cided to have a shave and his long
locks trimmed by a regular facial ar-
tist and when the job was done he was
as tickled as a boy with his first pair
of pants.
——Quite a number of Centre coun-
tians motored to Lewistown last
Thursday to take in the Mifflin coun-
ty fair and all of them have been talk-
ing about it ever since and telling
what a wonderful fair it was. One
man averred he saw a hog on exhibit
that was eight feet long and four
feet high, but he evidently must have
been looking through a magnifying
glass. Be that as it may, however,
there were several hogs in the exhibit
that weighed from 600 to 700 pounds,
and that’s some hog. The attendance
on Thursday was estimated at twen-
ty-five thousand people, while the av-
erage daily attendance ran from
twelve to fifteen thousand.

John D. Meyer Goes to Tyrone.
John D. Meyer, who for the past
‘twelve years has been prominently
identified with banking circles in Al-
toona, has severed his connection as
cashier of the Second National bank
‘in that city and yesterday went to Ty-
rone to become vice president of the
First National bank of Tyrone in
Mr. Kloss resigned last week as vice
president and a member of the board
ed as his successor at a meeting of the
board of directors held last Friday.
As vice president he will be in active
charge of the bank’s affairs.
Mr. Meyer is a native of Centre
county, having been born at Centre
teaching as a profession and not only
taught in the Bellefonte High school
but became superintendent of schools
in Bellefonte. He resigned that po-
sition twelve years ago to accept a po-
sition in an Altoona bank. The suc-
cess he has attained in the banking
circles of Altoona is evidence of his
ability as a financier, and his election
as vice president of the First Nation-
al bank at Tyrone is another step up
on the ladder of success.

The kiddies of Bellefonte and

until the opening of the public schools,
which will take place on Monday, Sep-

The wheat escaped the ravages
of the fly this year but now the State
Board of Agriculture has discovered
another bug that may prove a menace
{ to next year’s crop if farmers don’t
watch out.
The scare stirred up over the
greenish tint of the water in the
| Academy swimming pool has subsid-
ed. In fact there was no foundation
for alarm or excitement at any time.
The greenish sediment which has set-
tled on the walls of the pool is the
natural result of any body of stag-
nant water and doesn’t signify either
poison or impurities. The water is
' exceptionally fine these warm days for
swimming and everybody who enjoys
a dip should take advantage of the
i pool before cold weather comes along
' and puts an end to outdoor swimming.
| ——Just two more Wednesday even-
ing concerts will be given by the I. O.
"0. F. band in the Diamond in Belle-
fonte, which will fill their contract
with the Business Men’s association
for this season. During the entire
season only a few concerts were can-
celled on account of rain or disagree-
able weather and the band was always
on hand to the minute. Hundreds of
people thronged the Diamond every
concert night to hear the music, many
' coming to Bellefonte from quite a dis-
tance. The people in general owe a
debt of gratitude to the Business
Men’s association for their liberality
“in bearing the financial burden of the
summer concerts, and the band is just-
ly entitled to commendation for its ef-
| forts to give the people two hours of |
' musical pleasure every week.
Twenty-five to thirty years ago
the annual reunion of the Centre coun-
ty Veteran club was regarded as the
big gathering in Centre county. It
"always drew a crowd of several thous-
and people, not only from every por-
. tion of the county but from neighbor-
. ing counties. Today the ranks of the
| 1d soldiers have been so depleted by
death that only a corporal’s guard re-
{ mains and the soldiers now hold their
| reunions at the Granger’s picnic in or-
i der to assure a crowd. The reunion
this vear will be held next Wednesday
at Grange park, and every G. A. R.
“man in Centre county who can do so
should attend. A program has been
arranged which will be of interest to
old soldiers. The Citizens band of
Ferguson township will furnish the
music. If you don’t want to take a
basket along your eating wants can

Mortgaged Home to Save Son Who
Stole Diamond Ring. 2]
At a brief session of court on Wed-
nesday Judge Quigley suspended sen-
tence upon Clifford Diller, of Akron,
Ohio, for stealing a diamond ring val-
‘ued at $320 from Paul Baney. Diller
visited the Baney home late in July
and going to Buffalo, N. Y., sold the
jewel to Louis Meyer, a jeweler, for
fifty dollars. Sheriff Dukeman went
to Buffalo, arrested him and brought
him back to Bellefonte on August 6th.
When his mother heard of the trouble
her son was
home in Akron to get the money to re-
deem the ring then came to Bellefonte
"to intercede in her son’s behalf. Her
! sacrifice in this direction is what prob-
ably saved her boy from a term in jail,
as the court suspended sentence upon
the payment of costs and the good be-
havior of the young man.
Mike Hemmis, of Philipsburg, was be-
fore the court on the charge of threat-
ening to kill, and after hearing his
story the court also suspended sen-
tence and placed him on parole for a
period of one year.
Herbert’s Greater Minstrels.
This, the most novel of all minstrel
shows, will be the attraction at Gar-
ing, September 5th. If there is such
a thing as a diversion from the old
time minstrel that you have seen in
the past, you will be sure to find it
with this organization, which is com-
posed entirely of negro talent and is
conceded to be the peer of all colored
minstrel shows.
A delightfully blended performance,
including the good of the past, the
better of the present, and the best of
the future, and chuck full of pep, is a
guarantee that you will be given an
evening of wholesome amusement.
The company is headed by the two
best mirth-provoking, sorrow-dispell-
ing comedians in the negro profes-
sion, Lester Carter and Harry Ander-
son, assisted by 30 others. The per-
formance is replete with pleasing sur-
prises, so out of the ordinary, and
coming in such quick succession that
it takes the form of a rapid fire pro-
duction, and there is not one dull mo-
ment, for every tick of the clock will
ring you a laugh. Too much cannot
be said of the singing contingent with
this show, for it is a fact that all of
the best of the warblers of the Sunny
South are under the Herbert banner,
and it has been established that for
harmony, none such can be found, as
that rendered by the negro race. The
Herbert comedy four will carry you

' DAVID ESTRIGHT KILLED
BY AN AUTOMOBILE.
Run Down While at Work on State
Road Near Gum Stump.
David Estright, a well known resi-
dent of Snow Shoe Intersection, was
instantly killed about 9:30 o’clock on
Wednesday morning on the state road
near Gum Stump, by being run down
by an automobile driven by Thomas
Budinger, of Snow Shoe. Mr. Est-
right, who was hard of hearing, was
working on the state road for the Vi-
pond company, of Altoona. Mr. Bud-
inger, with other members of the fam-
ily, was on his way to Bellefonte. He
was driving along at an average rate
of speed and when he reached the
gang of workmen, at a point where
the Gum Stump road intersects the
state road, Estright started to walk
across the road. Budinger, according
to reports, was on the right side of the
road and though he did all he could to
stop the car he was unable to do so.
He even ran down off the side of the
roadway to avoid hitting the man, but
as Mr. Estright did not see the car
"and could not hear the tooting of the
| horn, he walked directly in front of it.
i The unfortunate result was he was
"struck and knocked violently to the
ground, dying almost instantly.
Mr. Estright was a son of Henry
‘and Margaret Estright and was born
“at Pennsylvania Furnace forty-seven
years ago. When two years old his
| parents moved to snow Shoe Intersec-
| tion and that had been his home ever
since. He was a laborer by occupa-
i tion, and an honest and industrious
! citizen.
| He married Miss Mabel Blair and
| she survives with the following chil-
dren: Cornelius, Samuel, Mrs. E. T.
i Summers, Alfred, Gladys, Agnes,
| Helen, Margaret, Violet and Betty, all
"at home. He also leaves these broth-
ers and sisters: Isaac Estright, of
Akron, Ohio; Mrs. Charles Meyers, of
Tyrone; William, of Coalport; Mrs.
Sarah Wyland, of Williamsport; Hen-
ry and Mrs. O. J. Summers, of Win-
gate; Mrs. Harry Kellerman and Sam-
uel, of Milesburg, and John, of Ty-
rone.
Funeral services will be held at his
late home at Snow Shoe Intersection
at two o'clock tomorrow (Saturday)
afternoon.
Returned from a Long Hike.
When Linn W. Bodle resumes his
studies as a Senior in the Bellefonte
High school on the 12th he will have
something to tell his classmates and
friends about that was an experience
out of the ordinary. :
Linn was born and raised in the
Buffalo Run’ valley and started in
| High school while the family was liv-
ing there. His father died before he
finished school, then his mother re-
married and moved to Numine, Arm-
strong county. The: boy remained
here to complete his course and has
been living with the Misses McKnight,
on Spring street. During his summer
vacation he visited with his mother
at Numine and while there decided to
visit his uncle William Koch, who lives
in Stockton, Ill. With another boy
from Numine he set out on the long
trail and made the distance afoot in
just eight days. Proverbially walk-
ing is cheap. It was so in their case
for subsistence and all enroute they
spent only $1.25, which speaks a lot
for the disposition of the people who
live in the houses by the side of the
roads they traveled to make “hand
outs.” They returned by train.
Henry W. Parker, who is a student
at the University of Pennsylvania, is
another boy who showed his mettle to
Bellefonte people some weeks ago.
He was here canvassing for books and
as the business was not successful he
found himself stranded. Nothing
daunted he started to walk to his home
in Germantown, Pa., and made the trip
afoot in two days.
Labor Day Picnics.
Next Monday will be Labor day and
the Logan fire company will hold one
of its old-time picnics at Hecla park.
Every arrangement has been complet-
ed and with fair weather this gather-
ing promises to be second only to the
big Business Men’s picnic. Ample bus
facilities have been arranged for from
Bellefonte and Lock Haven to the park
so that there will be no trouble getting
there and back. Many sports have
been planned for the day, including a
baseball game and boxing bouts.
Frank Wetzler’'s famous band, of
Milesburg, will be there in all its
glory and give various concerts dur-
ing the day. An orchestra will also
be present to furnish music for danc-
ing in the pavilion during the after-
noon and evening. Inasmuch as Labor
day will be pretty generally observed
as a holiday Bellefonte people should
make their plans to attend the big Lo-
gan picnic.
FINE TIME AT PORT MATILDA.
The people of Port Matilda and vi-
cinity will also have a big picnic on
Labor day and have engaged the I. O.
0. F. band, of Bellefonte, to furnish
the music. Sports and dancing will
feature the gathering and a big dinner
will also bé a drawing card.
Ex-service Men of Howard to Meet.
There will be a meeting of the ex-
service men of Howard and vicinity,

—The “Watchman” office was favored
with a visit on Wednesday morning by
Mr. W. F. Hoy, of Farmington, Mo. The

raised in Centre county. In fact it is thir-
ty-five years since his last visit back
among the vine-clad hills of Pennsylvania
and his trip this time is to spend ten days
or so with his only sister, Mrs. Samuel
Dorman, of Lamar, and also to visit other
relatives in different sections of Centre
county. Mr. Hoy is a son of Mr. Elias Hoy
and was born and grew to manhood on
what was known as the Samuel Olewine
farm at “Boiling Springs,” now called Axe
Mann. Fifty years ago he pulled up stakes
and went to Ohio where he lived seventeen
years then decided to go further west and
finally located in Missouri and went in-
to the fruit growing business. In this
line he has been quite successful but this
year will go down in history as a failure
of the fruit crop in that State, the first he
has experienced since engaging in the bus-
iness. Mr. Hoy arrived in town Wednes-
day morning and will be in this section
two weeks,
| all.
