Ed. Eckenroth Won the Giveaway
Car.
The efforts of the Beatty Motor Co.,
of this place to give away a Ford |
touring car were ended on New Year’s |
eve when E. J. Eckenroth’s name |
came out of the can with a flivver
hanging to it.
Business being a bit dull and in the
need of stimulation Mr. Beatty con- |
ceived the idea of stirring those, who
really wanted Fords but were staving
off the inevitable, into action. Accord-
ingly he made the announcement, on
November 18th, that every person
who made a deposit and signed a con-
tract to purchase a car of any type, a
half-ton chasis or a ton truck, between
that date and January 1st, 1922,
would be entitled to one chance on a
new Ford touring car free of charge.
The proposition proved almost as
popular as the Ford itself, for in the
forty-three days’ campaign seventy-
six persons took a chance.
The drawing was made quite a
function in the Beatty Co’s plant.
The sales rooms, offices, shops and
storage department were bright, clean
and decorated artistically. In the
shops were chairs for a gathering of
several hundred and disagreeable as
the weather was every one of them
was filled with drawers, their friends
and others interested in the unusual
proceeding.
An orchestra and a quartet enter-
tained while a committee comprising
Charles M. McCurdy, John Blanchard,
Judge Henry C. Quigley, Robert F.
Hunter, W. Harrison Walker and
George R. Meek were locked up in a
room checking off the orders to prove
that every name in the drawing was
that of a bona-fide purchaser. After
the contracts were examined and
checked off with the list the name of
each person entitled to a chance was
put into an envelope and sealed.
There were seventy-six of them. In
seventy-six other envelopes were
placed slips designating the prizes to
be awarded—and there was a prize of
some sort—spark plug, flash light,
battery tester and what not in each
one of them. In five of the prize en-
velopes were placed additional slips
carrying the word “automobile.”
Then the committee filed down into
the assembly room and in full view of
all placed the name envelopes in one
can and the prizes in another. Mr.
Beatty opened the meeting with a few
words of felicitation and introduced
Judge Quigley who made a pleasant
little talk and explained the manner
of the drawing. Robert F. Hunter
drew the prize envelopes from one
can and as he announced the prize W.
Harrison Walker drew the winning
name from the other. When an en-
velope containing the word “Automo-
bile” came out, the corresponding
name envelope was not opened. The
drawing continued until the cans were
empty and then the five name envel-
opes were put back in a can and five
envelopes, only one of which contain-
ed the word “Automobile” were placed
in the other.
Nobody knew whose names were in
the final drawing except the five them-
selves, for their names had not been
called as winners of the small prizes.
Then Judge Quigley asked them, if
present, to step forward to watch the
final step. The first three that came
out were blank except for the small
prize. The fourth envelope carried
the much coveted word and with it
came the name of E. J. Eeckenroth,
the lucky boy.
It was eminently fair. Mr. Beatty
took no chance, whatever, on grounds
for criticism. He even went so far as
to lock the committee in and himself
out of the room in which the envel-
opes were sealed so that there could
not be even an appearance of collu-
sion—if such a thing were conceiva-
ble.
After the drawing refreshments
were served by the Beatty employees,
there was more music, some dancing
and a very sociable time, for even
those who hadn’t won the grand prize
were so pleased with the pleasant at-
mosphere of the whole thing that they
lingered long afterwards to enjoy
themselves.
The campaign resulted in the sale
of 18 touring cars, 16 runabouts, 2 3-
ton chassis, 12 Sedans, 19 coupelets,
and 9 ton trucks. 39 were delivered
in Bellefonte and Spring township, 13
in the Bald Eagle valley, 14 in Penns
and Brush valleys, 8 in Nittany val-
ley and 2 to Snow Shoe and Karth-
ause.

— Looking back over the year
1921 motion picture fans can recall
the many pleasurable evenings they
enjoyed watching the pictures at the
Scenic. While the Scenic’s reputation
for showing the very best in the pic-
ture line is well established, manager
Brown will endeavor to make the year
1922 a record breaker for new and
high class pictures. His motto is that
nothing's too good for Scenic patrons.

EMANUEL NOLL. {
COL
NOLL.—It is with feelings of deep |
regret that the “Watchman” is called |
upon to record the death of Col.
Emanuel Noll, a splendid citizen, a
staunch friend acd one of the most |
steadfast supporters this paper ever!
had. He had been ailing the past yea:
or more with an sifection of the kid- |
neys with the result that heart com- |
plications developed and he passed |
away at his home on north Allegheny |
street at two o'clock on the morning |
of December 24th.
Mr. Noll was a son of Emanuel and
Sarah Wegley Noll and was born in
the old stone house on the road to
Pleasant Gap, better known as the
black barn property, on November
22nd, 1847, hence was 74 years, 1
month and 2 days old. His boyhood
days were spent on the farm but when
thirteen years of age he went to Mec-
Veytown to learn the trade of a sad-
dler with his uncle. It was while
working there that he hearkened to
the call of his country and on August
1st, 1862, went to Harrisburg where
he enlisted for nine month's service
in the civil war as a private in Com-
pany K, 131st infantry. He was three
months under fifteen years of age at
the time of his enlistment and was
just fifteen when he went into his first
battle at Antietam. Having served
out his enlistment he was discharged
at Harrisburg on May 23rd, 1863, re-
turning to the farm home of his fath-
er. He reenlisted, however, on Jan-
vary 3rd, 1864, in Company C, 21st
Pennsylvania cavalry, and served un-
til the close of the war. The princi-
pal battles in which he took part were
Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancel-
lorsville, Cold Harbor, in front of Pe-
tersburg, Yellow Tavern, Poplar
Grove court house, Boynton plank
road, Hatcher's Run and a number of
other minor engagements and skir-
mishes. His regiment was also pres-
ent at the surrender of Gen. Lee at
Appomattox Court House. Mr. Noll
sustained a serious wound in the left
leg at the battle of Hatcher’s Run and
was also wounded in the same leg at
the battle of Fredericksburg by a shell
fragment. He was one of the young-
est, if not the youngest soldier to en-
list for service in Centre county and
during his entire enlistment he was
not absent from his company a single
day, even while wounded.
Mr. Noll was finally discharged on
July 15th, 1865, and returning home
he in due time went to work on the
Thomas farm below Milesburg where
he worked a number of years but
finally gave up the farm and accept-
ed a position with the Pennsylvania
railroad company in Bellefonte, being
assigned to the baggage department.
In dué course of time he was made
baggage agent and held that position
until retired by.the company the first
week in December, 1917, having been
with the company a little over thirty-
six years.
Mr. Noll was a member of the Pres-
byterian church of Milesburg and took
a great interest in all church work.
It was primarily through his endeav-
ors that the Sunday school was start-
ed at Red Roost many years ago, and
of which he was superintendent for
a long period. He was a member of
Gregg Post, No. 95, G. A. R,, and the
Centre County Veteran Club, and al-
ways took a leading part in every-
thing pertaining to both organiza-
tions. 5
Mr. Noll was twice married, his sec-
ond wife dying on May 6th, 1909. He
is survived by three children, namely:
Mrs. Chauncey F. York, of Detroit,
Mich.; John L. Noll, of Altoona, and
Mrs. W. C. Rowe, of Bellefonte. He
also leaves one sister and two broth-
ers, Mrs. Mary Swartz, of Stoyes-
town; John Noll, of Peabody, Kan,
and James Noll, of Pleasant Gap.
Funeral services were held at the
Episcopal church at 2:30 o’clock on
Tuesday afternoon, December 27th, by
Rev. M. DePue Maynard, after which
burial was made in the Union ceme-
tery. Out of town friends who were
here for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs.
H. C. Barnhart and Homer Swartz, of
Stoyestown; Harry Henderson and
family, of Warriorsmark; Harry Noll,
of Pittsburgh; James Noll and wife,
and Homer Noll, of Tyrone.

tles in that section. At the close of

cn Opening Day.
Thousands
The officials and clerical force of
the Bellefonte Trust company are now
accustomed to the delights and con-
veniences of working in their new
: bank, and it will soon be an old story
i y7ith them, but customers still ex-
, claim in wonder at the marvels
i wrought within the walis of the old
_ building.
{ The opening day, December 24th,
was an epoch in the history of the
bank. While no count was made of
| the number of people who visited the
"institution on business and merely to
| see the new banking room, the bank
| officials estimate the crowd at close
to thirty-five hundred people. This
| estimate is based on the fact that over
| one thousand cigars were given to
| men and over one thousand boxes of
| candy to women, while over three
| thousand calendars were given out.
| A large and beautifully = trimmed
| Christmas tree stood in the southeast
| corner of the lobby while jardinieres
| with cut flowers stood at every point
| of vantage. Naturally there was con-
| siderablé curiosity as to who would
{ be the first depositor and about fifty
| people were in waiting at the door.
When the clock struck nine the doors
| were opened and Mrs. Wallace Mar-
| kle beat the crowd in getting to the
| teller’s window, with C. F. Tate a
| close second. Calendars and candy
‘were given the ladies, calendars, a
| cigar and a bill book the men.
Secretary and treasurer Nelson E.
: Robb met everybody with a smile and
a handshake and stayed on the job
| until the bank closed at ten o’clock at
| night, and although he looked some-
' what tuckered out he never lost the
| smile nor the geniality of his hand-
' clasp. a

| Everybody Anxious for “Three Mus-
| keteers.”
Sixteen duels, a man holding up a
| broken bridge while three riders cross
it, the stealing of a queen’s jewels, a
| desperate fight with a conscienceless
| woman for their recovery, the smash-
{ing of one of the greatest intrigues
| of history—these are but a few of the
| dramatic incidents in Douglas Fair-
| banks’ “The Three Musketeers,”
scheduled for January 9th and 10th at
| the Pastime theatre, State College.
History retold in celluloid! That's
what is claimed for this feature by the
management of the Pastime theatre.
Based on the marvelous adventures
and escapades of the dashing D’Ar-
tagnan and three of King Louis
XIII’s Musketeers, his photoplay un-
folds the history of France in the ear-
ly Seventeenth Century when that
monarchy was dominated by the de-
signing and crafty Cardinal Riche-
lieu, a soldier by training but a states-
man and churchman only by virtue of
intrigues he devised.
No more vivid and picturesque tale
has ever been presented on the screen
than this, according to Manager
Baum. From a photographic stand-
point it is a work of art, and cos-
tumes and sets, are marvelous. It is
believed that this photoplay will go
down in film history as one of the
classic productions.
Fairbanks’ interpretation of the
{ dashing and impulsive D’Artagnan
will present him to his admirers in a
new light, and the work of the all-
star cast that supports him will insure
satisfaction to all photoplay goers.
Other big pictures scheduled are
“The Shiek” for today and tomorrow.
This is taken from the book by E. M.
Hall, which is one of the foremost
sellers of the day, and the big spec-
tacular production “The Queen of
Sheba,” which has been attracting so
many people to the Stanton theatre,
Philadelphia. This picture is sched-
Yet for showing January 16th and
17th.

Many Excellent Exhibits at Farm
Products Show.
More than one hundred farmers at-
tended the annual meeting of the
Centre county Farm Bureau and the
farm products show held in Belle-
fonte December 24th. There were in-
teresting discussions on potato grow-
ing, poultry, corn, wheat, boys’ and
girls’ club work and various other
farm bureau projects in connection
with the report of the county agent.
F. P. Weaver, assistant director of ex-
tension, emphasized the value of com-
munity organization as a means of se-
curing more efficiency in farm bureau
work. E. L. Nixon gave a very in-
structive talk on potato production,
in which he pointed out good seed and
spraying as the two most important
points to consider in order to be suc-
cessful in growing potatoes at a
profit.
The election of officers for 1922 was
held in the afternoon when the follow-
ing men were elected:
President, John G. Miller, Pine
Grove Mills; vice president, Col. W. F.
Reynolds, Bellefonte; secretary, J.
Gross Shook, Spring Mills; treasurer,
W. C. Smeltzer, Bellefonte.
The farm products show and educa-
tional exhibit was the best ever held
in Bellefonte and received much fa-
vorable comment.
The better exhibits will be sent to
the State farm products show at Har-
risburg, January 23-27. Any person
wishing to exhibit at the State show
should send their exhibits to the Farm
Bureau office at once. All exhibits re-
ceived at the Farm Bureau office be-
fore January 11th will be forwarded
to Harrisburg free of charge.
