lating to the chorus, as sketched by

junior club, as described by Mrs. Kra-
der. Considering that it was com-
mencement season there was a good
attendance and much enthusiasm man-
ifested by the members.
PLAYGROUND OPENS TOMOR.
ROW.
Program as Arranged for Entertain-
ment of Bellefonte Children.
Owing to the fact that there was
some delay in getting the material
and equipment for the community
playground, on the High school
grounds, it was impossible to have the
opening day on Tuesday, as had been
planned, but the work of fixing up has
progressed to that stage where it can
be definitely announced that the open-
ing will take place tomorrow (Satur-
day). The following provisional pro-
gram has been arranged by those in
charge, which will give all interested
an idea of the thoroughness with

10:10 a. m.—Distribution of ma-
terial.

Mr. Aplin, and the physical director,
Mr. Mentzer, but will also train a
large corps of volunteer helpers. A
number of young men of the town
have been giving their time and labor
this week in an effort to get the
ground ready for the opening tomor-
row and the public is invited to in-
spect this new venture in building bet-
ter girlhood and boyhood in Belle-
fonte.
The committee has so far received
$450.00 in cash and $55.00 in pledges
for the work but are hoping that the
entire budget of $700.00 will be raised
before the opening day. The public
is invited to share the financial bur-

An exceedingly hard rain and
thunder storm swept over Centre
county on Sunday afternoon, but aside
from washing out some fields did no
great damage. The rain, however,
was badly needed for growing crops
and will compensate for all damage
done. Hail fell in several sections of
the county and considerably cooler
weather followed the storm. A small
barn on the Harshberger place near
Hublersburg was struck by lightning
and burned to the ground.

Mr. Davis served two terms in the
Legislature as one of the members
from Fayette county. He was also
connected with several large coal min-
ing companies in Fayette and Wash-
ington counties. He was the invent-
or of the gas helmet now generally

rounding country. William Night-
hart, walking along the state road,
got quite close to the deer before it
saw him but then it jumped from the
bridge into the creek, followed the
water a short distance then jumped to
the bank and struck for the woods.

The members of Troop 1, Boy
Scouts of Bellefonte, are making
strenuous efforts to earn enough mon-
ey to pay their expenses at Camp
Kline, the camp of the Williamsport
Scouts on Pine creek, near Jersey
Shore. For this purpose they will
hold an ice cream festival on Friday
evening, June 23rd. The Odd Fellows
band will be there and the boys ask
your patronage. On June 30th they
will give two playlets in the parish
house on Lamb street. One will be a
Scout play and the other a little farce,
the “Depot Lunch Counter.” A good
evening’s entertainment is promised
to all who will attend.
While the “Watchman” has no
accurate data at hand we venture the
assertion that the weather for Mon-
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week was the coldest recorded in this
section of the country for the second
week in June in many years. On Mon-
day morning thermometers in Belle-
fone registered 44 degrees above ze-
ro, which was within six degrees of
the frost line. In some portions of
the county, however, slight frosts
were observed that morning. Ex-
tremely cool weather continued to pre-
vail up until yesterday. Such weath-
er at this time of year is very unusu-
al, but it is not a record-breaker. In
1880, on the morning of the Fourth of
July, there was a heavy frost which
froze most of the corn in Centre coun-
ty so that a great part of it had to be
replanted. Farmers had ‘already be-
gun to cut their grain afid so heavy
was the frost workers in the harvest
fields did not begin work until ten
o'clock.

OLD HUMES MILL BURNED.
Purchased by W. S. White Five Years
i Ago and Operated by Him.
; Mann, one of the landmarks of Spring
| township, was entirely destroyed by
tfire at an early hour Tuesday morn-
ing, together with all its contents.
The mill was a stone structure and
was built upwards of one hundred
years ago. For many years it stood
idle but in 1917 it was purchased by
W. S. White who equipped it through-
out with up-to-date machinery and
has been operating it continuously
since early in 1918.
The fire which destroyed the mill
started in the basement about. 1:30
o’clock on Tuesday morning and when
discovered by neighbors the flames
were shooting out of the basement
windows. Mr. White and family live
some distance away from the mill but
his son Curtis, who has had charge of
the business lately owing to the ill
health of his father, lives nearer the
mill. But when he got there the
flames were breaking through the
roof. The young man got the truck
out of the shed adjoining the mill then
made an attempt to get the books out
but the entire office was in flames and
he was unable to save anything more.
The origin of the fire is a mystery but
the destruction was complete. The
mill was gutted from top to bottom
and a portion of the stone wall col-
lapsed.
As soon as the fire was discovered
a call was sent to Bellefonte for as-
sistance and the fire companies re-
sponded but by the time they got on
the ground the mill was doomed. Ow-
ing to the loss of the books Mr. White
is unable to tell just how much grain
he had in the mill but he estimates it
at from six to seven hundred bushels
of wheat, 1400 bushels of shelled corn,
a lot of rye and oats, from fifteen - to
twenty tons of flour and considerable
ground feed. He estimates his loss at
$25,000 or better on which he has
$12,000 insurance, carried in the Mill-
er’s Insurance association, of Wilkes-
Barre, and the Grange Fire Insurance
company, of Centre county. Mr.
White has not been in good health for
some time and the loss of his mill is
quite a blow to him. He has not yet
decided whether to rebuild or not.
Hunting Landing Fields for Commer-
cial Airplane Route.
Mr. K. P. Hanscom, of New York
city, was in Bellefonte last Friday and
Saturday looking for suitable places
for a permanent and emergency land-
ing fields for a commercial airplane
route. Mr. Hanscom represents a
| syndicate of wealthy men who have
| faith in the future of the airplane as
a commercial carrier, not only of pas-
sengers, but freight and express mat-
ter. While here he visited several
sections of the county and was much
impressed with a field on the Albert
Spayd farm near Centre Hall. State
College was also visited .but no avail-
able ground was found in that section.
At Snow Shoe the Leo Kelley field
south of that town was inspected, and
while it has sufficient dimensions east
and west it is too narrow north and
south, but the people of that town are
interested to that extent that they of-
fered assistance in clearing off more
ground in order to make the field
large enough.
According to Mr. Hanscom, the pur-
pose is to use six and eight motor air-
planes, with a carrying capacity of
from one ton upwards, and for such
machines it will be necessary to have
large fields with runways from two to
three thousand feet in length. The
runways will have to extend both east
and west and north and south, so as
to permit of landing and taking off
from any angle. If the project goes
through the company will so equip
their fields with electric light markers
that the machines can be set down at
night just as well as during the day.
Of course, the whole scheme is as
vet problematical, but the fact that
Mr. Hanscom is going over the air-
mail route from New York to Chica-
go looking for suitable fields for land-
ing places, is evidence that an air-
plane commercial route between New
York and the west is among the possi-
bilities of the future.
Apropos of the above J. M. Moore,
a friend of the “Watchman,” at Pine
Grove Mills, contributes the following
poetic vision:
Tor I dipped into the future
Far as human eye could see;
Saw a vision of the world
And all the wonders that would be.
Saw the heavens filled with commerce,
Argosies of magic rails,
Pilots of the purple twilight
Dropping down with costly bales.
Heard the heavens filled with shouting,
And there rained a ghastly dew
From the nation’s ghastly navies
Grappling in the celestial blue.

——There have been no new devel-
opments in connection with the Cen-
tre County bank affair this week. The
committee appointed at the meeting
of depositors last week has held
two meetings but until they have
decided definitely on a course of ac-
tion deem it unwise to make any
statement. Where the financial inter-
ests of so many people are at stake
and the final decision one of such vi-
tal interest to so many people, the
committée naturally appreciates the
responsibility of any action they may
take, and for this reason may contin-
ue their deliberations for some time
before making any public statement.
