Jury List for May Court.
Women serving as jurors are no
novelty now so when you read the
names of five women drawn on the
grand jury and ten on the traverse ju-

Penn State to Lose a Department
Head.
Another serious loss to the faculty
of The Pennsylvania State College
will be felt with the resignation of
Professor Edwin A. Fessenden, head
of the department of mechanical en-
gineering, which becomes effective ut
the end of the present collegiate year
in June. He has held this position, as
a professor of mechanical engineer-
ing, since 1916, and goes to Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, at Troy, N. Y.,
to become head of the department of
mechanical engineering. He will be
succeeded by Arthur J. Wood, profes-
sor of railway mechanical engineering
at Penn State, a member of the engi-
neering faculty for eighteen years.
Professor Fessenden is one of the best
known mechanical engineering men in
collegiate circles, and while his depar-
ture from Penn State will be a great
loss, the financial condition of the col-
lege makes it impossible to retain his
services.
McCARGAR.—John S. McCargar, a
well known insurance agent of Belle-
fonte, died quite suddenly at his home
on the corner of Spring and Pine
streets, at eleven o'clock on Sunday
night. He had not been in good health
the past year or more, suffering with
high blood pressure and arterio scle-
rosis. Just last Wednesday evening
he returned home from Greensburg
where he spent several weeks under-
going treatment in a private sanitor-
jum. While he was around on the
street Thursday and Friday he confid-
ed to intimate friends the fact that the
treatment he had undergone didn’t do
him much good. He became much
worse on Friday night but Sunday
evening at ten o’clock he seemed to be
resting easier. A half hour later,
however, he had another sinking spell
and passed away at eleven o'clock.
Mr. McCargar was a Canadian by
birth, having been born at Kempville,
Ontario, on August 13th, 1853, hence
was 68 years, 8 months and 10 days
old. He came to the States when a
young man and located at Genoa, N.
Y., where he lived a number of years.
Coming to Pennsylvania he located in
Tyrone where he conducted a cigar |
store and pool room. Thirty-two
years ago he sold his store there and |
came to Bellefonte purchasing the!
pool room and cigar store in the old
Conrad block. Afer being in business
several years he sold out and returned
to Tyrone but two years later he came
back to Bellefonte and embarked in
the insurance business as a special
agent for the Edward A. Woods agen-
cy, of Pittsburgh, of the Equitable
Insurance company. During his twen-
ty or more years of active work
as an insurance agent he stood in the
“over the top” class. Suave and cour-
teous at all times he had a convincing
way of presenting the insurance bus-
iness that made him unusually suc-
cessful. Mr. McCargar was a member
of the Bellefonte Lodge of Masons,
the Knights Templar and also a
Shriner. He belonged to the Belle-
fonte Lodge I. O. O. F., the Knights
of the Golden Eagle and the Elks. He
was a member of the Methodist church
and always manifested an interest in
any movement that meant the better-
ment or upbuilding of Bellefonte.
Forty-two years ago he married
Miss Mary J. Granger, of North To-
wanda, N. Y., who survives with four
sisters, Mrs. Carrie Mosher, of Genoa,
N. Y., but who was at her brother’s
bedside when he passed away; Mrs.
Emma Bower ,also of Genoa; Mrs.
Fred Corning, of Groton, N. Y., and
Mrs. Lucy Linderman, of Courtland.
Funeral services were held at his |
late home at 2:30 o’clock yesterday |
afternoon by Rev. E. E. McKelvey, of |
the Methodist church, and burial in |
the Union cemetery was in charge of |
the Masonic fraternity.

away at her rooms in the Brant house
at two o'clock on Wednesday after- |
noon. She had been ill for ten weeks
but only confined to bed since last:
Saturday. |
She was a daughter of William and
Margaret Harris Cook and was born in :
Bellefonte on October 26th, 1835,
hence was 86 years and 6 months old.
She was educated in the schools of the
town and at the Bellefonte Academy.
Her entire life was spent in Belle-
Jfonte. Following the death of her
parents she lived for twenty-five years
in the home of her brother, A. J. Cook,
but the past few years had been spent !
at the Brockerhoff house and Brant
house. She was a life-long member
of the Presbyterian church and dur-
ing her more active life a faithful |
worker in the Master’s cause.’
She is survived by four brothers, |
Andrew J., Charles F. and Claude :
Cook, of Bellefonte, and George
Cook, in Los Angeles, Cal. Funeral |
services will be held at the A. J. Cook |

o’clock this (Friday) morning, con- |
ducted by Rev. David R. Evans, after
which burial will be made in the Un-
ion cemetery. :

ARDELL.—James Renard Ardell:
died at his home in South Philipsburg
last Wednesday night following three |
month’s illness with an affection of :
the heart. L
He was a son of John and Frances.
Ardell and was born in Plattsburg, N. |
Y., about seventy-six years ago. In|
1867 he and his brother, the late John |
Ardell, of Bellefonte, came to Centre |
county and engaged in the lumbering
business. They had large operations
at Beaver Mills, on the Alleghenies,
while John Ardell also opeated a plan-
ing mill in Bellefonte, now the plant
of the Bellefonte Lumber company.
James Ardell for a number of years |
lived at Beaver Mills and superintend-
ed the operations there but when the
timber was exhausted he moved to |!
Philipsburg. In 1870 he married Miss
Teressa Matley, the wedding taking
place at the home of Capt. B. F. Hunt-
er, in Buffalo Run valley. She sur-
vives with one son and two daughters.
Funeral services were held at 2:30
o'clock on Sunday afternoon by Rev.
Franklin T. Eastment, of the Episco-
pal church, after which burial was
made in the Philipsburg cemetery.
FINK —beaders of 3 “Watch-
man” will learn with regret of the
death in Altoona last Thursday even-
ing of Francis A. Fink, who passed
away after twenty-four hour’s illness
with pneumonia. He was a native of
Huntingdon county, and was fifty-
eight years old. Several years ago he
married Miss Bella Confer, of Belle-
fonte, and she survives with one son
by a former marriage. Burial was
made in the Rose Hill cemetery, Al-
toona, on Sunday.
STEWART. — Mrs. Patsey Ellen
Stewart, widow of the late Dr. Miller
Stewart, passed to her reward shortly
after four o’clock on Tuesday after-
noon. She had been in frail health
for some weeks owing to her advanc-
ed age but was as bright and cheerful
! as usual up to a short time before she
passed away. In fact she ate a hearty
dinner and during the afternoon was
up and around her room. About four
o’clock she was seized with a cough-
ing spell and the end came before a
physician could reach her side.
She was a daughter of Major Wil-
liam and Patsey Burns Shaw and was
born at Moscow Mills, Allegany
county, Md., on February 20th, 1835,
hence had reached the advanced age
of 87 years, 2 months and 5 days. On
September 29th, 1853, she married Dr.
Miller Stewart, a native of Hunting-
don county, Pennsylvania, who was at
that time practicing his profession at
Fairmont, Va. In January, 1854, Dr.
Stewart and his bride came to Centre
county and located at Pine Glenn, in
Burnside township, where the doctor
not only continued his practice but
engaged in the lumber business with
his brother William. At that time the
entire Snow Shoe region was a vast
wilderness of virgin timber but Mrs.
Stewart soon adapted herself to her
surroundings and won the love and
esteem of not only the few permanent
residents in that locality but the’
scores of sturdy lumbermen employ-
ed on her husband’s various opera-
tions. Being a southerner by birth
she naturally inherited that love of
hospitality which is the creed of the
south and her home at Pine Glenn
soon attained a reputation as a hos-
pitable haven for friend or stranger.
Her husband passed away in 1899 and
four years later Dr. D. G. Stewart
purchased the Shugert home on west
Linn street and after remodeling it
throughout brought his mother to
Bellefonte to live, so that the past
nineteen years were spent in this
place.
She was a life-long member of the
Methodist church and was always one
of the leaders in church work at her
home in Pine Glenn. After coming to
Bellefonte she transferred her mem-
bership to the local church and always
kept up her interest in its success.
Her surviving children are William
Stewart, of Seattle, Wash.; Dr. Wal-
ter T., of Wilkes-Barre; Mrs Mary E.
Miller, of Hagerstown, Md.; David,
Dr. DeLaune G., Miss Margaret and
Robert Finley Stewart, all at home.
She also leaves one brother, A. B.
Shaw, residing on the old homestead
in Maryland.
Funeral services will be held at her .
late home at three o’clock this (F'ri-
day) afternoon by Rev. E. E. McKel-
vey, of the Methodist church, after
which burial will be made in the
Union ‘cemetery. nLiAs aiid

RANKIN.—Miss Lillian Blair Ran-
kin passed away at the Bellefone hos-
pital at 5:20 o’clock last Thursday
evening as the result of a cerebral em-
bolism. She became ill four weeks or
more ago and her condition soon be-
came so serious that she was taken to
the hospital for treatment. Not-
withstanding the fact that every-
thing possible was done to save her
life it proved a futile task and she
passed to her reward at the time
above stated.
She was the eldest daughter of Wil-
liam B. and Adelaide Bailey Rankin
and was born in Bellefonte on March
22nd, 1882, hence had reached the age
of 40 years and 29 days. She was
educated in the Bellefonte schools but
owing to the poor health of her moth-
er during the latter years of her life
she virtually took upon her shoulders
the management of the household af-
fairs, and after the death of her moth-
er she became her father’s house-
keeper, not only looking after the
household work but looking after the
interests and comfort of her younger
sisters. Her spirit of unselfishness
and devotion to her home duties was
| the admiration of all who knew her.
As a girl she united with the Presby-
terian church and made of her religion
a thing of beauty and a joy not only
to herself but to all those with whom
she came in contact. She was a mem-
ber of the Woman’s club of Bellefonte
and always found time to take an ac-
tive part in its proceedings as well as
faithfully discharge any work that
fell to her lot as a member of one of
the standing committees. She will be
sadly missed in the club, in the church
and in the home, but those who mourn
her passing can be comforted in the
knowledge that she was faithful to the
end to every trust imposed upon her.
She is survived by her father, one
brother and three sisters, namely:
Mrs. Elsie Rankin Helliwell, of Atlan-
tic City; Walter, of Harrisburg; Mrs.
Thurston K. Lytle, of East Liberty,
and Miss Mary, of Harrisburg.
Funeral services were held at the
Rankin home at two o'clock on Mon-
day afternoon by Rev. David R.
Evans, after which private interment
was made in the Union cemetery.
Il Il
EARON.—Mrs. Eliza A. Earon,
wife of W. H. Earon, of Unionville,
passed away at three o'clock yester-
day morning following several years’
illness with arterio sclerosis. She
was a daughter of Constance and Ma-
ry Cambridge, who came to America
from Ireland, and was born in Spring
township on April 28th, 1851, hence
was within one day of being seventy-
one years old. She was one of a fam-
ily of twelve children and was the last
to pass away. She was a member of
the Catholic church, of Bellefonte,
and in her younger years a faithful
attendant.
On December 24th, 1878, she mar-
: Curtin, S. Claude Herr,
Jessie Balistrere.
ried W. H. Earon, at Lock Haven, and
most of their married life had been
spent at Unionville. She had no chil-
dren and her only survivor is her hus-
band. The remains will be brought to
Bellefonte tomorrow (Saturday)
morning and funeral mass held in the
Catholic church at 9 o’clock by Father
Downes, after which burial will be
made in the Catholic cemetery.

CONFER — Mrs. Sophie D. Confer,
wife of John R. Confer, died at her
home in Clearfield on April 16th as
the result of a complication of diseas-
es, aged 65 years, 5 months and 5
days. Her maiden name was Sophia
Viehdorfer and she was born at Mo-
shannon, this county. She was mar-
ried to Mr. Confer at Milesburg in
1881, and for twenty-two years they
lived in Snow Shoe township. Nine-
teen years ago they moved to Clear-
field, where they had lived ever since.
In addition to her husband she is sur-
vived by two sons and two daughters.
She also leaves one brother and a sis-
ter, the latter being Mrs. Julia Beigh-
tol, of Pine Glenn. Burial was made
at Clearfield on April 20th.

Windows Dedicated.
Last Sunday morning five beautiful
art windows were dedicated in St.
John’s Reformed church, Bellefonte.
The subjects pictured on the windows
are, “The Good Shepherd,” “Geth-
semane,” “The Ascension,” “St. Paul”
and “St. John.” These, together with
the two already placed, make seven
very beautiful windows adorning the
Reformed church. In the order of the
subjects named, they are memorials
bearing the following inscriptions.
“In Memory of William Harper and
Wife.” “In Memory of John Wetzel
and Wife,” “In Memory of Mrs. Su-
sanne Wagner,” “In Memory of
Abram Lukenbach,” “Mr. and Mrs. C.
T. Gerberich.” All of these windows
were placed by the children of the
families above named. The pastor,
Dr. Schmidt, gave a very interesting
address upon “Christ in Art,” after
which followed the prayer of dedica-
tion.
Prof. Martin Addresses Brotherheod.
The meeting of the Brotherhood of
the Presbyterian church on Monday
night was well attended and the men
enjoyed a thought-provoking speech
by Prof. Martin, head of the depart-
ment of history, of State College.
Prof. Martin outlined in a careful way
the growth of American Imperialism
and showed the effect of this in the
neighborhood of the Panama Canal.
The subject was admirably handled.
——At a meeting of the Master
Baker's association held at Sunbury
on Tuesday it was decided not to re-
duce the price nor increase the size of
a loaf of bread. Bellefonte is includ-
ed in the territory controlled by the
above organization.

Children’s Week.
Culminating the exercises of Chil-
dren’s Week will be the messages de-
livered Thursday night and Friday
afternoon and evening by Renwick H.
Martin, LL. D., and Rev. Larimore C.
Denise. Dr. Martin comes from Bea-
ver Falls and is the former president
of Geneva College. He is a man of
wide experience both in the class-
room and on the public platform and
is a recognized leader of the moral
forces of the locality in which he lives.
Rev. Larimore C. Denise, of Pitts-
burgh, is the assistant superintendent
of the National Reform Bureau, and
has had wide experience in pulpit and
platform work. For several years he
was the president of the Westmore-
land Sabbath school association, one
of the best organizations of its char-
acter in the world. He will give the
opening address on Thursday night in
the Presbyterian church, on the sub-
ject, “Whither are We Tending?”
Dr. Martin will follow him on the
theme, “The Future Rulers of Amer-
ica.” On Friday afternoon at 3
o’clock, in the United Brethren church,
there will be a meeting for women
only. Mothers especially should at-
tend this meeting. Dr. Martin will
speak on the “Enemies of the home,”
and Rev. Denise on “Defenders of the
Home.”
The closing services will be held at
the Methodist church on Friday even-
ing at 7:30 o’clock. Dr. Martin will
speak on “The Perils of the Nation”
and Dr. Denise on “Our National
Safeguards.” These meetings will be
thought-provoking and most helpful
in the present state of our national
and community life. The public is
most cordially invited to attend each
meeting. "7? Soh JR th us ;

Lower Bald Eagle is Sore.
Howard, Pa., April 25, 1922.
Editor Watchman: of
Republican ‘politics was very much
animated in lower Bald Eagle Valley
last week. Word was sent out from
headquarters to the “true and tried”
to come to the County capital to meet
Mr. Alter, the candidate for Governor,
and hear him speak and discuss the
issues of the coming campaign, (Dr.
W. J. Kurtz, former chairman of How-
ard borough, not included in “those
expected to be present”).
autos and chauffeurs to drive same,
to take the faithful to Bellefonte for
the occasion, expecting to hear the is-
sues discussed. They were sorely dis-
appointed when they learned they
were not to hear an oration but only
to sign a pledge of allegiance and
Rest and shake hands with the candi-
ate.
Many who went with the expecta-
tion of meeting Mr. Chambers and Mr.
Scott and having them renew their
promises that Bald Eagle Valley is
entitled to and will get an improved
or a state road, but were disappoint-
ed as neither one of them was to be
seen.
Scott seems to be having a little
‘hard sledding” in lower Bald Eagle
Valley in his campaign all on account
of promises not fulfilled. Promises
have been made for a number of years
that Bald Eagle Valley would have a
state road, but as the years fly by
nothing has materialized along that
line and patience, with a lot of Repub-
licans, has ceased to be a virtue on
account of unfulfilled pledges. It
looks as though it will take more than
promises for Mr. Scott to get right
with the rank and file of the Republi-
cans of this valley.
Great disappointment is felt over
the call to Bellefonte and it will re-
quire some strenuous “fence bulid-
ing” to put things right. Our advice
to all of the people who want a state
road in Bald Eagle Valley is to turn
down the ones who make promises,
only to break them, and go along with
the ones who can be depended upon,
the Democrats. . ’
Yours for a state road,
One who Lives in
Lower Bald Eagle.
Boalsburg Scouts.
At the meeting last Wednesday
night we had a very good turnout. We
are now planning to have a festival
on Memorial day evening, if possible.
We are glad to hear that the Belle-
fonte troop has organized a base-
ball team, and decided to accept their
challenge to play us. We will consid-
er a game as soon as our team has
been fully organized and has had sev-
eral work outs. Prof. O. H. Smith
talked to the Scouts at their regular
meeting this week. He is a good
speaker and we were fortunate in se-
curing him,

At the conclave meeting last Thurs-
day evening we planned for a troop
hike and outdoor meeting. We start-
ed at 10 o’clock Saturday morning and
took our lunch with us. We went
dewn the Jacksonville road to Lyon-
town and there turned off, going up
the mountain. We ate dinner on the
other side of the mountain and then
went on down the valley to the road,
where we had our meeting. After the
meeting we had some tracking and al-
so practiced signaling and had a com-
pass game. We took one of the parts
in the second-class test, building a
fire with two matches. All the boys
who were there passed it but one. We
came back the same way.
On Monday after school we had the
scout pace, which most of them passed.
Those who did not pass had it after
school on Tuesday.

Signalling to Mars by Wireless May
Yet be Accomplished.
If Mars is peopled there is no doubt
that this wonderful feat may yet
be accomplished. Scientists claimed
certain conditions existed on Mars
until the Great Lick Telescope was
completed (1898), which proved oth-
erwise. Optometrists, by the com-
pounding of lenses, are working won-
ders as great. Thousands of people
have no idea how far they should see
or what a pair of properly fitted
glasses will do.
I am a registered Optometrist.
