Ferguson Township People Celebrate
Community Day.
The enterprising people of Fergu-
son township celebrated their first an-
nual community day last Wednesday
at Meek’s church. The event was ar-
ranged by county vocational super-
visor John B. Payne and county farm
agent J. N. Robinson, co-operating
with the teacher of Meek’s school,
Miss Ishler. |
The finest farm products grown on
the fertile farms of Ferguson town-
ship were displayed by the pupils of
the school, and much interest was
manifested by the large crowd pres-
ent in looking them over. An inter-
esting feature was a final round-up of
the boys’ Duroc-Jersey pig breeding
club of Ferguson township. Nine of
the pigs were brought in, and they
represented the best Duroc-Jersey
pigs to be found anywhere in Centre
county. These pigs were bought by
the boys on June 9th, at which time
they weighed in at from 27 to 64
pounds. Last Wednesday their weight
averaged from 250 to 330 pounds. The
largest gain was made by Paul Camp-
bell’s pig, which showed an average
daily gain of 1.97 pounds. The pigs
were judged and awards made by A.
L. Baker, assistant state club leader.
The first prize, a radiolite watch,
went to Roy Shoemaker; the second,
a flashlight, to Earl Harper; the
third, an ink pencil, to Charles Camp-
bell; the fourth, a fine penknife, to
Albert Eckley. Ralph Harper, Paul
Campbell, Roy Close and Warren Bai-
ley were each awarded an Eversharp
pencil. The pigs all showed excep-
tionally good care and are a credit to
the boys who own them, and also to
the community.
The blue ribbons on farm products
were awarded as follows: Paul
Wrigley on yellow dent corn; Paul
Close on white cap corn; Paul Camp-
bell on potatoes; William Close on
cabbage; Claude Meyers on pumpkins.
Following the awarding of the pre-
miums the school pupils read several
interesting articles on birds, celebrat-
ing Arbor day several days ahead of
time. Short talks were made by A.
L. Baker, J. N. Robinson, county
farm agent, and John B. Payne, vo-
cational director. It might also be
added that all the prizes given were
donated by the First National bank
of State College.
A
Poultry Feeding Demonstrations.
The poultry culling campaign that
the Centre county farm bureau con-
ducted in co-operation with the poul-
try extension department of State
College brought to light that less than
twenty-five per cent. of the flocks
that were visited were really fed for
egg production. County agent, J. N.
Robinson, realizing what this means
to the farmers of Centre county, has
secured the services of H. D. Monroe,
poultry specialist from The Pennsyl-
vania State College, to assist in hold-
ing a series of meetings at which
time feeding of laying hens will be
thoroughly discussed.
In communities where feeding has
been discussed at a previous meeting
a demonstration in selecting the best
type of hens from which to do spring
hatching will be given. If you want
to improve your poultry and increase
egg production you cannot afford to
miss attending one of these meetings.

had a big time last Friday evening in-
augurating their campaign for in-
creased membership. They enlisted
the services of the I. O. O. F. band,

ber during the ten day’s campaign.

last Friday. Among the eight were
two Clinton countians, as follows:
Laura J. Darrow, R. D. Box No. 33,
Salona, bronze medal. She was a fac-
tory hand, aged 16, when she attempt-
ed to save Bertha I. Brown, aged 17,
from drowning at Flemington, Pa,
{ June 12th, 1920. While wading in
Bald Eagle creek Miss Brown got in-
to deep water and lost her self-con-
trol. Miss Darrow waded from the
bank and swam a dozen feet to the
drowning girl and took hold of her.
bathing suit, but the Brown girl im-
mediately grasped her rescuer at the
neck or shoulder and both sank. They
rose and Miss Darrow asked the!
frightened girl to loosen her hold and |
they would be saved, but Miss Brown
was too hysterical to understand and
held all the tighter. They sank and
rose again, Miss Darrow trying un-
successfully to free herself, keeping
at the surface, however, without mak-
ing any progress toward shore until a
young man swam to them and reach-
ed Miss Darrow, taking her to a safe
place. Miss Brown was later assist-
ed to the shore by another man.
Ernest Wier, Lock Haven, deceas-
ed, silver medal to father, Lock Ha-
ven. Wier, aged 18, saved Laura J.
Darrow in the case mentioned above,
but lost his life in attempting to save
Bertha I. Brown. He went to the res-
cue fully dressed and another girl, !
named McGinness, was taken to shore
by him, after which he went back to
aid in the rescue of Miss Brown, but
suddenly gave a cry of distress, sank
and was drowned.
A
A Card to the Public.
As the good name of Herbert Au-
man, who is a candidate for the office
of Tax Collector of Bellefonte, has
been brought into question by some
who have a personal interest at stake,
the undersigned desires to say that
Mr. Auman has been in his employ
since a mere boy, and that he has
never found him derelict in his duty
or discovered a dishonest drop of
blood in his veins. He has proven
himself a good accountant, as he has
charge of the advertising accounts of |
the Keystone Gazette—which is a’
man’s job, and I have had very little -
trouble in this direction since he has
been given charge of this department.
The boy deserves a whole lot of
credit, and I for one do not hesitate
to trust him to the limit, believing he
will make one of the best tax collect-
ors Bellefonte has ever had. So far
as the bond is concerned, that will be
taken care of, for it would be a most
humiliating situation were a poor
man denied office simply because he
is poor—though honest to the very
tips of his fingers.
I am not taking sides in this cam-
paign, but would feel that I was
shirking a duty were I to refuse de-
fense of one whom I have not only
known, but who has been in my em-
ploy for the last twenty-five years.
Respectfully,

laboratory in the horticultural build-
ing at State College, shortly after the
noon hour on Friday completely de-
stroyed the laboratory and the photo-
graphic department adjoining, caus-
ing a loss of at least $35,000. The
building was insured but ten thousand
dollar's worth of new laboratory
equipment which had only recently
been installed was not insured and
therefore a total loss. Three hundred
white rats and twenty guinea pigs
used on experimental work were
burned to death and Miss Emma
Francis, assistant professor of agri-
cultural chemistry, was severely
burned about the hands, arms and
face.
The fire started from an explosion
' of ether used by Miss Francis in her
- experimental work. The bottle of
ether evidently cracked while sitting
on a heater and when Miss Francis
picked it up to carry it to a water
sink the bottom fell out. Instantly
the room was enveloped in flames and
it was in rushing through them to the
door that Miss Francis was burned.
The College fire department was
quickly on the scene but the flames
spread rapidly and calls for assist-
ance were sent to Bellefonte, Lock
Haven and Tyrone. Fire apparatus
from each town was dispatched to the
College, the Logan fire company’s en-
gine of Bellefonte doing effective
work in helping to extinguish the
flames. The building is a fireproof
structure and the concrete floor was
a great help in confining the flames to
the top floor.

The American Legion’s Celebration of
Armistice Day.
| Armistice day, November
will probably be more universally
' celebrated this year than ever before
and the Brooks-Doll Post of Belle- |
fonte has about completed arrange-
i ments for a three day’s event. On
| Wednesday and Thursday of next
i week the celebration will be confined
! to the evenings only and will be held
lin the Bellefonte armory. It will be
{ on the order of an international fair
| or bazaar, with numerous booths for
fortune telling, refreshments, etc.
' Splendid music throughout the even-
ings. On Friday, the anniversary of
, Armistice day, there will be a big pa-
| rade in the afternoon which will in-
i clude the American Legion, Troop L,
and many civic organizaions. In fact
organizations from all over the coun-
ty have been invited to participate.
A football game on Hughes field will
be the attraction right after the pa-
‘rade when the Yeagertown Independ- :
‘ents will play the Bellefonte Amer-
{ican Legion boys, and in the evening
a big dance will be held in the armory.
There is a resolution now before
Congress to make Armistice day a le-
gal holiday and it will likely pass and
become effective immediately. If
such is the case next Friday will be
declared a holiday and you cannot
‘spend it in a better way than by com-
ing to Bellefonte and joining with the
boys of the American Legion in their
big celebration.
The contracting company in
charge of putting down the big shaft
in the old furnace quarry of the
American Lime and Stone company
are now down 335 feet and still going
to a depth of 390 feet which, it is be-
lieved will top the high grade vein of
limestone suitable for kiln purposes
and also allow a certain depth of the
shaft for drainage purposes. So far
but very little water has been struck.
Two headings have been started at
different depths and the third and last
heading will be opened up in the high
grade vein. The main shaft is con-
creted from top to bottom and has
been made absolutely safe in every
way.
At least three thousand visit-
ors are expected to attend the annual
Pennsylvania day activities at The
Pennsylvania State College tomorrow.
Most of these will be alumni return-
ing for the activities and “best girls”
by the hundreds to attend the thirty
or more fraternity house parties that
will feature the occasion. Many will
motor to the College for the military
review, the football game with Carne-
gie Tech and the glee club concert,
evening features, respectively.
four o'clock on Sunday morning an
Overland touring car, bearing Penn-
sylvania license No. 628,762 was driv-
en into Wion’s garage. The car con-
taind 37 quarts of what is believed
to be moonshine whiskey. Hearing of
the car and its cargo sheriff Harry
Dukeman proceeded to the garage and
seized the car. He also waited quite
a while for the driver but that indi-
vidual failed to show up. According

— Hallowe'en is now a thing of
the past and nothing unusual is in
sight for the evenings, which are con-
tinually growing longer. But the
Scenic is still doing business at the
old stand, showing each night in the
week an exceptionally good quality of
motion pictures, thus affording the
one place in Bellefonte where you can
always get pleasurable entertainment.
Don’t hesitate as to how to spend the
evening but go to the Scenic.
— Just as a patriot; glad that our
country is at peace with the world;
go to church next Sunday and give
thanks.
