——Some time along about noon on
Monday a swarm of bees came to rest
on one of the tall trees on Bishop
street in front of the residence of Dr.
Brockerhoff. They were quite high in
the air and from the street there ap-
peared to be enough of them to fill a
peck measure. Nobody seemed at all
anxious to take them away, either.
Miss Ruth Irvin Boone, a
daughter of Mrs. M. G. Boone, was
one of this year’s graduates at the
Clinton High school, at Clinton, Ky.,
and was valedictorian for her class.

the summer months in Bellefonte then
take an apartment in Orange, N. J,
where she will probably make her
home in the future.

tend will please note the change in
place. Rev. Dr. Ambrose M. Schmidt
will deliver the address.
The annual picnic for parish
and Sunday school of St. John’s Epis-
copal church will be held at Hecla
park on Thursday, July 20th. This
year St. Paul’s parish, Lock Haven,
will not join with St. John’s as they
have done for the past several years,
but the best of good times is being
prepared for the members of the
Bellefonte congregation. There will
be athletic events and ball games,
swimming and boating events, good
meals and everything to make an
ideal holiday.
— After being away from his
home town for seventeen years Wil-
liam Cunningham has again taken up
his residence in Bellefonte. He was
one of the employees of the Standard
Scale & Supply company who went
with the company when it moved from
Bellefonte to Beaver Falls. Last week
he came to Bellefonte on a visit and
was offered a job with the Sutton-
Abramsen Engineering company,
which he promptly accepted and this
week moved his family here. Mr.
Cunningham is an expert moulder and
will be a good man for the Sutton-
Abramsen company.
Max Ichkowitz, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Nathan Ichkowitz, of Bellefonte,
went down to Hecla park on Wednes-
day to see how the Pennsylvania
League of Women Voters conducted
a picnic. During the afternoon he
went into the lake for a swim and in
making a head dive struck his head
on some sharp object in the bottom of
the lake, cutting a severe gash on his
forehead. The wound bled profusely
and the injured boy created considera-
ble excitement among the women.
First aid methods were used and by
strenuous bandaging the flow of blood
was checked and the lad was brought
to the Bellefonte hospital. Ten or
more stitches were required to close
the cut and yesterday Max was get-
ting along splendidly and will likely
be around again in a few days.
League of Women Voters Picnic at
Hecla Park.
The tri-county picnic of the League
of Women Voters, which was held at
Hecla park on Wednesday, was at-
tended by about one hundred and
twenty-five representatives from Ly-
coming, Clinton and Centre counties.
The gathering was made the occasion
for a number of speeches by leaders
among the women.
Mrs. Lewis Lawrence Smith, State
vice chairman, and Miss Martha G.
Thomas, State treasurer of the organ-
izaion, told of the League’s legisla-
tive program for the coming year.
This includes proper recommendations
by the commission for the reorganiza-
tion of the State government; passage
of a county tax revision and assess-
ment law; a call for a constitutional
convention, and opposition to repeal
or emasculation of the direct primary
law.
Mrs. R. Fleming Allen, represent-
ing the Democratic committee, and
Mrs. Charles Hunt, representing the
Republican committee, defined the du-
ties of the various committee women.
Three candidates for the Legisla-
ture were present, namely: Miss Mar-
tha G. Thomas, of Chester county,
Republican; Mr. Jones, of Clinton
county, and Miss Zoe Meek, of Centre
county, Democrat. One of the candi-
dates in Lycoming county sent a mes-
sage to the conference.
In connection with the conference
it might be stated that women voters
do not function through the League
only. They will be trained in the
League and act through the parties.
The League provides the women with
a common meeting ground for discus-
sion. As members of the League
women are stronger and more power-
ful Democrats and Republicans. The
League is the only all-partisan organ-
ization in existence for the political
education of women.
A Warning to Law Breakers.
Owing to the fact that several at-
tempts have been made to wreck coal
mines in the Snow Shoe region, and
because of the general unrest prevail-
ing among union miners everywhere
because of the prolonged coal strike,
Centre county authorities have pre-
pared for any emergency that may
arrive. Believing in the doctrine of
the preservation of the law notices of
the following proclamation have been
posted throughout the mining section
of the Snow Shoe region:
PROCLAMATION.
To all residents of this community,
Greetings:
Whereas, A spirit of unrest and
disagreement exists at the present
time;
And Whereas, There have been dis-
turbances of the peace in other locali-
ties of more or less serious import-
ance, resulting in injury to persons
and property.
All persons are hereby cautioned to
refrain from unlawful gatherings or
demonstrations and from interfering
with the rights of persons and prop-
erty.
You are solemnly charged to obey
the laws and keep the peace.
The orderly and law abiding people
of this community will be protected
in person and property.
You are hereby assured that the au-
thority and strength of the county,
State and the United States govern-
ments will support this guarantee.

School Teachers to Tour Europe.
Miss M. Eloise Schuyler, who spent
the earlier part of her life in Centre
Hall, during the time her father, the
late Dr. W. H. Schuyler, was pastor
of the Presbyterian church in that
place but who now is an instructor in
history in the girls High school in
West Philadelphia, accompanied by
Miss Beatrice Peck, will sail from
New York tomorrow on the White
Star line ship “Homeric” on the Tem-
ple tour to Europe. If their ship
makes schedule time they will arrive
at Southampton on July 8th and will
spend ten days or so in Great Britain.
From there they will go to Geneva,
Switzerland, thence to Bavaria and
take in the “Passion Play” at Ober-
ammergau. Munich and Nuremberg,
Germany, will be visited and then

their arrival home.
Col. Woodward Brought to Hospital.
Col. John A. Woodward, the well
known specialist in agriculture, of
Howard, was brought to the Belle-
fonte hospital on Tuesday for treat-
ment. The Colonel has been a suffer-
er the past year or more with kidney
trouble and complications and his con-
dition has become so aggravated that
it was deemed best to bring him to the
hospital for treatment. Probably mo
man in Centre county is better known
throughout the State than Col. Wood-
ward and we feel sure we voice the
sentiment of his many friends in ex-
pressing the hope that he will exper-
ience relief through the treatment
given him.

Hughes’ return, and for his work for
the summer in the interest of the
school.
——1It is said that five, ten, twenty
and hundred dollar counterfeit bills
are in circulation. Speaking for our-
selves we know we haven’t seen any
of the twenties and hundreds, because
they aren’t seen in a printing office,
while the fives and tens always look
good to us and we're willing to take
our chance on detecting the bad from
the good any time some of those sub-
scribers who are just a little in ar-
rears want to bring some in.
——The second annual session of
the Dickinson College summer school

An entertainment consisting of
two plays, “A Strenuous Afternoon”
and “The Depot Lunch Counter,” will
be given by the members of Troop No.
1, Boy Scouts of America, Friday
evening of this week, in St. John’s
parish house on west Lamb street, at
8 o'clock. Friends of the Scouts are
asked to patronize this last effort on
the part of the boys to raise enough
money to take the entire membership
of the Troop to camp in July. An en-
joyable evening is promised. The
price of admission will be 35 cents.
——Shortly after six o’clock on
Sunday evening Samuel White, of
Axe Mann, drove down High street
in his Ford car and as he neared
south Water street he saw three boys
in the middle of the street. He blew
his horn and two of the boys got out
of the way while the other evidently
became bewildered and stopped right
in his tracks. To avoid hitting the
boy Mr. White turned sharply to the
right and ran into the fireplug. In
the machine with him was his young
grandson, John Barnes, who was
thrown head first against the wind-
shield, breaking the glass but fortu-
nately catching himself so that he
was not thrown out. He sustained a
slight cut on the nose. The front part
of the car was badly damaged and was
hauled to the Beatty Motor company
garage for repairs.
——After the first of next month
the dairy department of The Pennsyl-
vania State College will supply Belle-
fonte, through local agencies, as near-
ly perfect milk as is possible to make
it. In other words it will be what is
generally known as certified milk. It
will be produced in the spotless barns
of the College where every employee
and every animal is under the con-
stant supervision of experts in sani-
tation. “Watchman” readers are
probably familiar with the astounding
bacteriological content of the milk
that is commonly produced. They will
recall the interesting report of the in- |
vestigation of the dairies that supply
Bellefonte that was made by Miss
Elizabeth Meek several years ago. In
some instances the bacteriological
count per ¢. c¢. ran up into the hun-
dreds of thousands. This, of course,
sounded worse than it was because
when it comes to bacteria and milk it
can truthfully be said: “There’s mil-
lions in it.” By modern methods the
bacterial content can be greatly re-
duced but not eliminated so that even
the certified milk is only called so be-
cause the bacteria run less than
10,000 per c.c. That sounds bad
enough, but in fact it is very, very
good.
Two Children Injured by State Cop on !
Motorcycle.
About eight o’clock on Tuesday
evening Walter Bennett, son of Mr.
and Mrs. E. S. Bennett, of Runville,
and Harold Walker, both aged about
twelve years, were run down by J. M.
Conway, a member of the state con-
stabulary, and considerably bruised
and otherwise injured, though fortu-
nately neither of them seriously. The
two boys and a number of other chil-
dren were playing on the school house
grounds at Runville, the Bennett and
Walker boys also riding on the state
highway in a little express wagon.
Mr. Conway, who is from Troop A,
Greensburg, had made a business trip
"to Snow Shoe and was coming to
Bellefonte to spend the night on his
way back to Greensburg. He avers
that he was running along at a speed
of from twenty to twenty-five miles
an hour, because of the fact that he
saw the children alongside the road,
and that the two boys, in their little
wagon, attempted to cross the road
right in front of him. The result was
he run into them, broke the wagon to
pieces and injured the two boys.
Residents of Runville who saw the
accident claim that the state cop was
going anywhere from fifty to sixty
miles an hour and because of his
speed was unable to avoid hitting the
boys. At first it was thought that
both were seriously, if not fatally, in-
jured and officers of the law in Belle-
fonte were communicated with and
asked to hold Mr. Conway until it
could be determined how serious the
boys were hurt, but when it was learn-
ed that they had no bones broken and
their only injuries were superficial no
action was taken against the officer.
Boys Off to Camp Inglenook.
Jack Yeager left town Wednesday
of last week to assist in the prepara-
tion of the State Y. M. C. A. camp at
Inglenook, for boys, conducted by the
State Y. M. C. A. committee for the
boys of the State. He was joined this
week by Mahlon Robb, Phil Ray and
William Keller, who left on Wednes-
day morning for the camp. The camp
is attended by boys for recreation and
training, and is directed by the State
boy’s secretary, Mr. J. H. Brewer, and
a corps of efficient helpers.
The camp is situated fourteen miles
from Harrisburg on the beautiful
Susquehanna river. The site is com-
posed of a large tract of land with
permanent buildings for lodge and
dining room quarters. The boys are
grouped in squads of eight in tents
with a strong leader, who has the re-
sponsibility of the groupaassisted by
the adult leaders of the staff. Thir-
teen boys have gone to the camp from
Williamsport, accompanied by the
boy’s work director, John Bower,
who will remain at the camp for the
two weeks the boys are there.
The boys will return on July 11th,
one week before the local Y. M. C. A.
camp is held. This camp will be open
to boys of Bellefonte and will be con-
ducted from July 19th to 28th. The
camp will be in charge of the general
secretary, Mr. John Payne, chairman
of the boy’s work committee, and H. I.
Mentzer, the physical director. Furth-
er announcement later.
And One Dan Stayed at Home on
Sunday.
In our issue of June 16th we made
the suggestion that all of our delin-
quent subscribers remain at home on
the following Sunday and send us the
saving in gasoline effected thereby to
be applied on their subscription ac-
counts.
But one subscriber acted on the sug-
gestion and it wasn’t directed at him
at all because he wasn’t in arrears.
E. W. Kline writes from Nelson, Ne-
braska, that he stayed at home last
Sunday, even though the fishing was
good, and sent us the equivalent of
the gas his Studebaker would have
burned up carrying him to his favor-
ite stream.
That was self-sacrifice. We speak
feelingly on this subject because we
know what the lure of fishing is. And
we must admit that friend Kline did
more for us than we might have done
for him had the tables been reversed.
He concludes his letter with the
hope that “hundreds of others will do
likewise,” but, sad to relate, they
haven’t.
Petition in Bankruptcy Filed.
A petition was filed in the United
States court at Scranton on Wednes-
day by S. D. Gettig Esq., to institute
voluntary bankruptcy proceedings for
the purpose of liquidating the affairs
of the Centre County bank. The pe-
tition was filed by John M. Shugert,
as president of the Centre County
Banking company. He also filed a pe-
tition asking that the same action be
taken against him personally. With
each petition was filed a schedule of
assets and liabilities. The schedules
are as follows:
John M. Shugert, assets $80,300,
less liabilities of $14,315, leaving net
assets, $65,985.
Centre County Banking company,
total liabilities $548,847.26; assets,
$337,436.92. Net liabilities, $211,140.
From the liabilities must be taken the
sum of $130,000, estimated worth of
partners, leaving a net shortage of
$81,140. Of course the expense of
bankruptcy proceedings will have to
be met out of the assets, which will
leave less to be divided among the
creditors.

is supposed to be a safe and sane
