George Weaver, who lives on the corner of Ridge and Borough streets, sprung a new one on borough council at the regular meeting on Monday evening. He reported that a year ago Thomas Hazel moved in from Pleasant Gap and located in a house adjoining his property. He brought with him seven scaps of bees. So far this year the bees have multiplied un- til now there are eleven scaps and the busy little workers are making things lively for the residents in that locali- ty. Mr. Weaver stated that he engag- ed a man to plow his lot but the bees stung the horses so badly that the man quit. When members of the Weaver family go ‘out to feed their chickens the bees sting them, and finally they decided to appeal to council for relief. As the proopsition was of such a pe- culiar character that council was un- certain as to any authority in the mat- ter, the complaint was referred to the Nuisance committee, of which Darius Waite is chairman. At the last meeting of council Clay Witmer made complaint of nuisances at the homes of Elmer Rockey and Le- Roy Scull. Both these gentlemen were present at Monday night’s meeting and charged that Mr. Witmer also maintained a nuisance. The matter was referred to the Nuisance commit- tee. A petition was received from the Woman’s club requesting council to take some action looking to a more rigid enforcement of the law against bootlegging. A communication was received from the State Board of Health notifying council of complaints made of one or more nuisances and advising council to insist on the same being abated. The Water committee reported the collection of$1851.00 on the 1921 wa- ter tax duplicate. The Fire and Police committee re- ported that the “no parking” signs will soon be installed on the various fireplugs. The Finance committee asked for the renewal of a note for $3,000, which was authorized. W. E. Hurley asked that the bor- ough give the State Highway Depart- ment the use of the road roller for one month, at a rental of $150.00, whether the roller is used every day or only one week, and the request was grant- ed. The borough manager reported the payment by citizens of $44.17 for oil for Allegheny street. Mr. Fauble stated that Highway Superintendent Stackpole had made a proposition to keep the state road through Bellefonte in proper repair for the actual cost of labor and ma- terial, but inasmuch as the borough manager has the material on hand to repair the roads it was decided to al- low him to do the work now to ascer- tain just what the cost may be, and later consider Mr. Stackpole’s offer. Bills to the amount of $2214.92 were approved and council adjourned. Pinchot May be Nominee. Philadelphia, May 17.—Returns from all but 426 districts in the State in yesterday’s primary gave Gifford Pinchot a lead over Attorney General George E. Alter of 7,639, for the Re- publican gubernatorial nomination. The vote from the 7508 districts heard from was Pinchot 495,442 and Alter, 487,803. : The latest figures included all but two districts in Clearfield county, all but four in Centre and all but seven in Washington county. Pinchot had increased his lead over Attorney General Alter in the fight for the Republican nomination for Governor at 9 o’clock tonight to 4,765, on unofficial returns from yesterday’s primary. With only 619 districts out of a total of 7,984 to be heard from the vote was Alter 483,774; Pinchot, 488,539. ——Benton D. Tate, who was sup- posed to have been so seriously injur- ed in a fall from a ladder at Centre Hall two weeks ago made a remarka- ble recovery and on Sunday was out of the hospital and walking around as usual. . ——While papering the ceiling of the kitchen at the home of Mrs. Os- car Wetzel, last Thursday morning, Michael Lamb fell from a stepladder and dislocated his right shoulder. ——————————————— ——Probably it was an inauspicious time to expose the juggling of the State funds. But there is no use in complaining. The worst is yet to come. SE A nol, CALVIN T GERBERICH. GERBERICH.—Calvin T. Gerber- ich, for more than half a century a well known resident of Bellefonte and identified in many ways with the bus- iness interests of the town, passed away at 4:35 o’clock on Monday after- noon at his home on north Thomas street. He had been in feeble health the past few months owing to his ad- vanced age but it was only about two ‘ { Mrs. Z. P.

He was a son of George and Nellie Alberts Gerberich and was born in East Hanover township, Lebanon county, on May 38rd, 1836, hence had | ¢,. sarcoma, ‘She was a daughter of reached the advanced age of 86 years and 12 days. H spent in the vicinity of his birth but when eighteen years of age he came to Bellefonte and learned the milling business under John Wagner, who op- erated an old-fashioned grist mill on the same site where the Gamble mill now stands. Several years later he went west but remained there only a brief time, returning to Lebanon coun- ty where he was married in 1859 to Miss Sarah Deck. In 1864 he came to Bellefonte with his family and took up his residence in a house on Thom- as street, while he engaged in: the milling business, In 1882 he became associated with the late Elias W. Hale under the firm name of Gerber- ich, Hale & Co., and they purchased the old William P.. Duncan mill which they operated very successfully, Mr. Gerberich being the manager. In due course of time Mr. Gerberich pur- chased the Hale interests and conduct- ed the mill himself until he sold out to Gamble, Gheen & Co., in 1904. In the meantime he had built for himself a handsome and comfortable home on Thomas street where he lived ever since. Mr. ‘Gerberich’s retirement from the milling business left him more time to devote to his other business inter- ests. He was a promotor and one of the organizers of the Bellefonte Trust Co., and has been a director in the or- ganization ever since. For many years he served as vice president. In politics he was a staunch Republican and served three years as a borough councilman from the West ward. He was an active member of the Reform- ed church all his life and always a lib- eral contributor to every department of church work. He was one of the oldest members of the Bellefonte Lodge of Odd Fellows, having been given the gold fifty year medal about five years ago. Mr. Gerberich was a man of unimpeachable integrity and a high sense of honor. He was a splen- did type of citizen and Bellefonte is the better for the years he was num- bered among its residents.

Wetzel, of | Windsor, Canada, and Harry F. Ger- berich, of Bellefonte. He also leaves one brother, F. F. Gerberich, of Mays- ville, Ky.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Bring Entire Shipload of Novelties from Europe. Made even more tremendous than in 1921 by the recent addition of many more trained wild animal displays and the purchase of Europe’s biggest horse show, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey ‘combined will exhibit at Williamsport May 27th. All who glance over the cable news or whe read the magazines must have noted the many contracts entered in- to by the Ringling Brothers for for- eign talent last winter. was chartered this spring to bring the ed animal acts and equine displays to America. sons saw the mammoth new circus of ited in Madison Square Garden, New York. Now this marvelous exhibition is touring the country aboard five great railroad trains. It is a third bigger than the Ringling Brothers and It is ten times larger than any other circus now on tour. Big as is this wonder circus of 1922 —with its more than twenty trained wild animal displays in steel arenas, fully 150 wonderfully schooled trick horses, 700 men and women perform- ers, 100 clowns, and scores of features —the price of admission is no more than before. And though the trained animal numbers and the immense selves while touring Europe, they are not offered as separate attractions by the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey combined shows. Instead all are on one gigantic program. Every- | thing is in one mammoth main tent. One ticket admits to all and includes admission to the tremendous double menagerie. There are more than a thousand animals in the zoo of this circus and these include a tiny baby hippopotamus only recently born, and accompanied by its three-ton mother.
