owing to unavoidable irregularity in
their operation there may be periods
when there is no pressure in the
mains. Householders are advised,
therefor, to keep some water in buck-
ets so that they may be inconvenienc-
ed as little as possible.

Voluntary Bankruptcy.
The following official statement was
' given to the “Watchman” for publica-
tion explanatory of the situation at
the Centre County bank:
The examination of the Centre
County Banking company has dis-
closed conditions which, in the
opinion of the examiner make
voluntary liquidation impossible.
Steps are being taken to liqui-
date the affairs of the bank and
the partners through voluntary
proceedings in bankruptcy.
In view of this action no state-
ment of conditions will be issued
by the examiner.
CHAS. M. McCURDY.
The above is all the information
those in charge of the affairs of the
Centre County bank deemed necessary
to make public at this time.
The men who have been in charge
of the bank’s affairs since it closed
several weeks ago have agreed that
voluntary bankruptcy proceedings is
the only equitable way to liquidate,
and as such a course will naturally
take some time it will be impossible
to give any details until the trustee
for the creditors, whoever he may be,
is in a position to make an accurate
report of the bank’s assets and liabil-
ities.
The process now will be for the
Company to present its petition to the
Federal court for a decree in volunta-
ry bankruptcy. This action should take
only a few days. When the petition
is granted certification will probably
be made to M. Ward Fleming, of Phil-
ipsburg, who is referee in bankruptcy
for this district. He will immediately
issue notice to all the creditors, the
depositors, of the company to meet at
a given time and place, prove their
claims and vote on a trustee to take
charge of the Assets of the company
and eventually distribute them.
Of course we all know that bank-
ruptey proceedings are long and ex-
pensive and when the creditors meet
there will be many things to be con-
sidered that might inure more to
their benefit if the matter were hand-
led in other than the tedious and ex-
pensive process of bankruptcy pro-
ceedings. The creditors, the deposit-
ors, will have opportunity to halt the
bankruptcy proceedings should plans
more favorable to their interests de-
velop in their meeting. The entire so-
lution of the problem is in their haus.
While we have no definite knowledge
of what the assets of the Centre Coun-
ty Banking Co., are and have no idea |
‘as to what percentage they will be
able to pay we do know of a case of a
Philadelphia bank that closed its doors
in what appeared to be an utterly
hopeless condition and a gentleman,
George H. Earle, came forward with
a plan to reorganize the concern un-
der the absolute control of the depos-
itors. It was acted upon by them and
today that bank is a prosperous going
concern with stock that is considera-
bly over par in value, which means
that those who had money in the bank
at the time of its failure are now paid
out in full whereas they would cer-
tainly have sustained substantial loss-
es had they not conserved their inter-
ests by acting on Mr. Earle’s plan.
While Wetzler’s band of Miles-
burg carried off the cash prize of
$15.00 awarded to the best band in
line of parade on the occasion of the
recent convention of Odd Fellows at
Tyrone the American Legion band of
Clearfield seems to have come in for
some of the honor. The Harrisburg
Telegraph, of May 11th, published a
three column picture of the latter or-
ganization and announced that it had
won the “best band in line” prize.
Now Mr. Wetzler and his musicians
are wondering where they’re at. They
received a letter from the secretary of
the Association awarding them the
prize, congratulating them on the vie-
tory and enclosing a check covering
the amount of the prize and naturally
are wondering what kind of a contest
it could have been if there were two
first prizes in it.
At the May meeting of the
Woman’s club, held in the High school
building Monday evening, the follow-
ing officers were elected for 1922-23:
President, Miss Isabella Hill; vice
prsident, Mrs. C. D. Casebeer; record-
ing secretary, Mrs. H. N. Meyer;
treasurer, Miss Helene Williams; cor-
responding secretary, Mrs. D. Wagner
Geiss; auditor, Miss Blanchard; dele-
gate-at-large, Mrs. Roy Wilkinson;
chairman educational committee, Mrs.
J. P. Lyon; charity committee, Mrs.
Brouse; Civic committee, Mrs. Sim
Baum.

——DBellefonte friends of William
M. Furey, of Pittsburgh, will be inter-
ested in learning that he was recently
elected president of the Pittsburgh
Chamber of Commerce, a very im-
portant position in the business and
economic life of that city. In a sal-
utation to his fellow officers and mem-
bers of the association he urged them
to adopt the slogan, “Sell Pittsburgh.”
In other words boost Pittsburgh at
home, abroad and at all times. Small-
er towns might profit by doing the
same thing.

o'clock p. m., there will be a musicale

MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES.
Big Crowd in Bellefonte Pays Tribute
to Departed Loved Ones.
Almost fifty-nine years ago the
North and the South clashed arms at
Gettysburg, the high spot and turn of
the tide of the Civil war. Out of that
fratricidal struggle grew Memorial
day, and for more than half a century
the people of the United States have
gathered in hundreds of thousands of
cemeteries on May 30th and paid lov-
ing tribute in behalf of those who
shed their life’s blood that this union
of States might be preserved. The
solidarity of the union thus preserv-
ed was emphatically exemplified dur-
ing the world war when this country
marshalled over four million men to
fight for democracy and poured out a
veritable stream of golden wealth that
the peoples of other countries might
be freed from the tyrannical yoke.
On Flander’s fields, at Belleau woods,
on the Marne and in the Argonne
American soldiers always stood with
their faces to the front. Thousands
of these soldiers lie buried in the soil
of France and it was for these as
much as for those who died on home
soil that Tuesday’s services were
held. .
The parade at two o’clock was one
of the largest marshalled in Belle-
fonte in years. It was led by Wetz-
ler’s band, of Milesburg, followed by
the Civil war veterans in automo-
biles. Then came the Brooks-Doll
Post of the Amercan Legion, Troop
B, in command of Capt. W. Frederick
Reynolds, the Boy Scouts, P. 0. S. of
A.,, Odd Fellows band, Catholic
Daughters of America, Ladies Auxil-
iary of the Brooks-Doll Post, children
of the public schools, Logan Fire com-
pany and Undine Fire company.
Scores of automobiles also followed
the parade to the cemetery to witness
the services there. These consisted of
the customary G. A. R. services, dec-
oration of the soldier’s graves and the
memorial address which was delivered
by Rev. David R. Evans, pastor of he
Presbyterian church. At the conclu-
sion of the services in the cemetery
the parade reformed and marched to
the Diamond where it was disbanded,
Troop B continuing to Hughes field
where they gave an exhibition drill.
P. 0. S. OF A. MEMORIAL SERVICES.
The memorial services conducted
by the P. O. S. of A. Camp No. 887,
of Bellefonte, on Sunday, May 28th,
were largely attended and very suc-
cessful.
The members marched from their
local camp rooms on west High street
lat 1:30, headed by the I O. O. F.
| band, to the Union cemetery where
| brief but solemn services were held in
behalf of comrades Emanuel Noll and
Roy Barnhart.
The Bellefonte Academy quartette
sang two selections. Col. Hugh S.
Taylor, Clement Dale, Esq., and Rev.
George E. Smith gave brief addresses.
The band played a number of selec-
ions and led the procession back to
headquarters from where they were
transported by motor bus and private
‘cars to Shiloh and Boalsburg. The
services at Shiloh were in conjunction
with Gregg Post G. A. R. and the
American Legion. The Lemont band
furnished music for the latter named
places. The speakers at Shiloh were
John G. Love, John Payne, J. Kenne-
dy Johnston and Clement Dale, and at
Boalsburg, Rev. George E. Smith, pas-
tor of the United Brethren church,
Col. Hugh S. Taylor, and Clement
Dale. Each spoke in no uncertain and
emphatic tones, and said many things
well worth the while of the assembly
to hear and take cognizance of.
The Bellefonte Academy quartette
sang at each of the places to the de-
light of all, and each service was clos-
ed by singing “America” and decorat-
ing the graves of the deceased com-
rades.
Rev. Wagner, pastor of the Luth-
eran church of Boalsburg, made the
opening prayer and pronounced the
benediction at Boalsburg.
Of Interest to Boy and Girl Scouts.
The Centre County Conservation
Association is doing its best to make
its annual meeting the big day of the
vear for all Boy and Girl Scouts of
Centre county. Last week plans for
a nature study contest were announc- |
ed and it is hoped that members of
every Scout troop in Centre county
will not only be present but will show
true “Scout spirit” by being in the
contest with a determination to win.
FIELD MEET WILL ALSO BE HELD
In addition to the Scout contest in
nature study which was announced
last week, the Centre County Conser-
vation Association is planning a big
field meet for its meeting at Boals-
burg, June 22nd, which will be open
to all boys and girls of Centre county.
The following athletic contest is plan-
ned: 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash,
half mile race, high jump, broad jump,
baseball throw, antelope race, and
Paul Revere race. There will also be
a swimming contest, the plan of which
will be announced later when a com-
plete program of the athletic events
will be published.
The contestants for all athletic
events will be divided according to age
into three classes as follows: Ages
from 12 to 14; ages from 14 to 16, and
ages of 16 and over.
Exhibits of nature study work, a
basket picnic, athletics, swimming,
games and other contests will make
the day interesting and profitable for
all who can be present.
The annual commencement ex-
ercises at The Pennsylvania State
College will begin on Friday, June
9th.
