glee club presented “When Reuben
Comes to Town” in Garman’s opera
house. Owing to several other im-
portant gatherings only a fair-sized
audience was present to witness the
play but those who did attend enjoy-
ed it very much.

The Lid is Off.
But don’t jump to the conclusion
that it is the prohibition lid, because
it isn’t. The above caption has ref-
erence to the Sunday school baseball
league, of Bellefonte, the first game
of the season being played yesterday
afternoon between the Methodist and
Presbyterian teams. The ‘“Watch-
man” went to press too early to give
the result, but it was an interesting
beginning of the season’s sport.
Four teams at present constitute
the league, namely, the Methodist, Re-
formed, Lutheran and Presbyterian
Sunday schools. According to the
schedule arranged the games will be
played on Hughes field on Tuesday
and Thursday evenings at six o’clock.
The promoters promise some very in-
teresting sport. No admission will be
charged to these games and everybody
is urged to attend and root for their
favorite team.

——The new porch at the Elks
home is beginning to assume shape
although it will be several weeks yet
before it is completed and the pave-
ment at that point cleared of traffic.
MERGER OF LIME INTERESTS.
American Lime & Stone Co. and
Charles Warner Co. Pool Inter-
ests to Increase Output.
During the past week announce-
ment was made of the merger of the
American Lime and Stone company of
Bellefonte, with the Charles Warner
company, of Philadelphia and Wil-
mington, Del., one of the largest lime
producers of the east. The exact stat-
us of the affiliation is given in the fol-
lowing statement made by officials of
the American Lime and Stone compa-
ny in this place:
The rapid enlargement of the
plants of the American Lime and
Stone company during the past year
or two by the erection of the big plant
at Bellefonte and improvements at
some of the other plants, especially at
Union Furnace, has made it desirable
for the company to arrange for per-
manent financing of part of the out-
| lay.
Messrs. Morris and McLanahan
have completed negotiations with a
banking syndicate in Philadelphia,
composed of the prominent bond
houses of Parsley Brothers & Co.,
| West & Co., and Graham, Parsons &
{ Co., to underwrite a bond issue of
{ $1,100,000 first mortgage 7% bonds.
‘These bonds are now being offered
| for sale.
In connection with this step the Mor-
ris and McLanahan interests evolved
a plan of merging the management of
the American company with one of
i the large and progressive companies
{in eastern Pennsylvania, the Charles
Warner company, extensive manufac-
turers of magnesium lime products in
that district. This merger of man-
agement of the two companies pro-
duces a very strong affiliation which
is a considerable advantage for all in-
terests, as the Warner company’s ex-
tensive sales organization in Philadel-
phia and New York will assist in dis-
tribution of the increased production
of the Bellefonte plants and aid in de-
veloping the general business of the
American company throughout the
central and western markets.
To carry through these steps Mr.
A. G. Morris has been elected chair-
man of the board of directors of the
enlarged American company, and
Charles Warner, president of the
Charles Warner company, has beeen
elected president of the American
company.
The board of directors of the Amer-
ican company has been enlarged to
eleven in number, including A. G.
Morris, J. King McLanahan Jr., C. A.
Morris, E. G. Parsley, of Parsley Bros.
& Co.; G. D. Montgomery, of West &
. Co.; Mr. Steel, of Graham, Parsons &
Co.; Charles Warner, Alfred D. War-
ner Jr., Irving Warner, Fred A. Da-
boll and C. C. Bye, of the Charles
Warner company.
The detailed management responsi-
bility in the general administration of
the American company is thrown up-
on the Warner interests by the special
desire of Mr. A. G. Morris and Mr. J.
King McLanahan Jr., who wish to be
relieved of the detailed responsibili-
ties of the administration. But the
policies of the company will be contin-
ued through cooperation of the old
and new officials in advancing the gen-
eral interests of the American com-
pany.
Mr. J. King McLanahan Jr., of Hol-
lidaysburg, one of the large stock-
holders of the American company,
will serve as vice president; Mr. Ir-
ving Warner has been selected as gen-
eral manager of the company and will
establish headquarters in Bellefonte;
and Alfred D. Warner Jr. has been
elected vice president and treasurer
of the company.
Myr. Charles Morris will continue as
general superintendent of the Belle-
fonte group of plants, under the pres-
ent plans.
It is believed that these steps will
materially assist in the development
of the American company, one of the
largest operations of its kind in this
section of the country, since it will
add to the present management addi-
tional managerial and financial force
which should strengthen and more
rapidly promote the valuable oppor-
tunities the company has for extend-
ing its profitable operation. The new
plant at Bellefonte will now be rush-
ed to completion within the next wwo
or three months so as to be in posi-
tion to add to the earnings of the
company with the fall expansion in
business demand.

Bellefonte School Grounds Open June
13th, 1922.
Encouraging progress has been
made on the canvass for funds for the
public playgrounds for the children of
Bellefonte and as soon as the school
term closes this week work will be
started on the erection of the play-
grounds equipment. Those in charge
of the work wish to secure the service
of a number of ladies for volunteer
supervision of the play activities of
the children. Mr. Aplin, the Y. M. C.
A. secretary, has kindly consented to
give his services as a supervisor of
the boys’ section of the playground
each day during the season, without
any cost to the playground associa-
tion.
There will be an opportunity given
the people of the town to help support
the work by paying a dollar for mem-
bership in the association and thus
help in the good cause. As soon as
the membership list has been taken
care of there will be a meeting called
and officers elected. Every member
will be asked thus to have an active
part in the work. In the next week’s
issue of the press there will be a list
of contributors published.

Centre County Bank Depositors Take
Action.
Several hundred depositors of the
Centre County Bank, which closed its
doors on May 13th, met in the court
house on Tuesday evening to discuss
ways and means of looking after their
own interests. Robert F. Hunter was
chairman of the meeting and Roy Wil-
kinson secretary. A tentative report
of the bank’s condition was read by
the secretary which showed liabilities
of $103,465.50 in excess of the esti-
mated assets. These. figures are sub-
ject to change either way, as clerks
are still at work on the bank’s books.
: In order to effect a working organ-
ization a committee of fifteen was ap-
pointed by chairman Hunter, and this
committee selected a committee of
eleven men to look after the interests
of the depositors. The committee
named includes Col. W. F. Reynolds,
chairman; A. Fauble, Roy Wilkinson,
George H. Hazel, W. J. Emerick, J.
Fred Herman, W. H. Brouse and F. H.
Thomas, all of Bellefonte; Howard E.
Holzworth, of Fleming; Ray H.
Smith, of State College, and John
Mitchell, of Lemont, with Robert F.
Hunter, an ex-officio member. The
committee was empowered to employ
council and decided to engage N. B.
Spangler Esq. The committee has
power to work out the best solution of
the difficulty possible from the depos-
itor’s standpoint, and as soon as it has
arrived at anything definite another
meeting of depositors will be held to
act on the committee’s report.
Proclamation!
By reason of the fact that many
serious accidents result from failure
to observe a “safe and sane” Fourth
of July, notice is hereby given that
the provisions of a certain ordinance
of the borough of Bellefonte as well
as a certain Act of Assembly in force
in our State relating to the firing or
throwing of fire crackers, fire balls,
squibbs, or other fire works, or the fir-
ing of any pistol, will be strictly en-
forced. July Fourth can be properly
celebrated without endangering the
life or property of any person, and it
is this kind of an observance that will
be expected. The celebration will be
strictly confined to July Fourth; it
does not start a week or two in ad-
vance and continue for an indefinite
period thereafter. July Fourth is only
twenty-four hours long.
All good citizens are hereby re-
spectfully requested to inform upon
and prosecute to conviction persons
offending against the laws of our
State or the ordinance of our borough
relating to the sale and explosion of
all fire works contrary thereto.
Assist in making the day “safe and
sane.” Given under my hand this 3rd
day of June, A. D., 1922.
W. HARRISON WALKER, Burgess.
