Prof. H. C. Rothrock, of Port
Matilda, has been appointed assistant
superintendent of public schools of
Centre county as successor to E. Mil-
ford Pletcher, of Howard. Mr. Roth-
rock is a graduate of State College,
class of 1885, and ever since has been
engaged in teaching, all of his educa-
ional work being in Centre county
with the exception of four years. He
has been principal of the schools at
Port Matilda the past eleven years.
Mr. James R. Hughes, having
become aware during recent days that
certain parties are violating the hour
regulations of his swimming pool by
entering the pool after the closing
hours at night, has succeeded in se-
curing the appointment by sheriff
Dukeman of William McCabe and
William Ashbaugh, as deputy sheriffs.
It will be their duty to see that all
regulations regarding the pool shall be
strictly enforced. A word to the wise
ought to be sufficient.
Announcement of the death of
Mis. E. F. Cooper, who died in Wash-
ington a month or more ago, may be
of interest to her many business ac-
«quaintances in this locality. Mrs.
‘Cooper was district manager of Cen-
tral Pennsylvania for the Viavi treat-
ment, and while so successfully intro-
ducing her work in Centre county
made her home at the Bush house;
the last few months of her stay being
spent at State College. Mrs. Cooper
left here to return to her home in
Washington about Christmas time.
Capt. W. H. Fry, of Pine Grove
Mills, had a birthday anniversary on
Tuesday but he was too busy giving
of his services to those who needed
them to celebrate the day. The inter-
esting part of this announcement,
however, is the fact that the captain
was seventy-nine years old that day.
Just one year of being four-score
years old and there’s not a man of his
age in all of Centre county who bears
his years as well and is capable of
knocking around the way he does
every day in the week. We are very
sure that all his friends will join the
“Watchman” in wishing Mr. Fry
many more years of an active life.
Endorse
County Students
University Plan.
Centre
Students from Centre county at-
tending The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege summer session, ata meeting
held this week at the college endors-
ed the plan for development into the
Pennsylvania State University and
pledged their aid in raising $2,000,000
building fund. The young men and
women, coming from all parts of the
county, have formed a close attach-
ment for the college in the few weeks
that they have been enrolled as stu-
dents; and after forming a county or-
ganization, they passed a resolution
favoring the expansion designed to
care for a future enrollment of 10,000
students.
The students voted to conduct a
campus campaign for about two
weeks and to call upon all former stu-
dents from the county to assist them.
They decided that subscriptions to be
made by them to the fund might be
covered by payments extending over
a period of three years.
The resolution of the students, after
enumerating purposes of the cam-
paign and citing necessity of turning
away college applicants each year for
want of accommodations as a further
reason for their support, stated that
they “unqualifiedly endorse the plan
for expansion, * * * urge that every
proper means be exercised to achieve
the change of the College to the State
University, * * * and pledge their ful-
lest loyalty and support to the $2,000,-
000 building fund campaign.”
Hospital Picnic Abandoned.
Last week the “Watchman” as well
as other Centre county papers, con-
tributed considerable space in an-
nouncing a big benefit picnic for the
Bellefonte hospital to be held at Hee-
la park on July 27th. Since then var-
ious questions have arisen which
make it inadvisable to hold a picnic
at his time and the project has been
abandoned. The efforts of the com-
mittee and many other volunteers
will be concentrated on a county-wide
drive to be made in October in an ef-
fort to raise sufficient money to pay
off all the indebtedness of the hospital
and put it in better shape than ever
to meet the heavy demands made up-
on it at all times. Keep this drive in
mind and at the same time don’t over-
look the fact that there will be no pic-
nic. But the big business men’s pic-
nic will be held as scheduled on Au-
gust 17th.

Soldiers Going to Camp.
Bellefonte’s mounted machine gun
troop, Capt. W. Frederick Reynolds
commanding, will leave Bellefonte at
5:45 o'clock tomorrow (Saturday)
morning for the ten days’ camp of the
Pennsylvania National Guard at
Mount Gretna. The troop train will
proceed over the Lewisburg railroad,
picking up the Boal troop at Oak Hall,
and the troop at Lewisburg and Sun-
bury enroute. They will not arrive at
Mount Gretna until Saturday even-
ing. A detail of the troop left on
Wednesday to get the camp grounds
in shape for the pitching of tents,
etc., immediately upon the arrival of
the troop. The Bellefonte troop will
go to camp at maximum peace time
strength, with horses and all equip-
ment in fine shape, and Capt. Rey-
nolds has every reason to believe that
the men in his command will make a
good showing at the annual inspec-
tion of the Governor, Adjutant Gen-
eral and the Major General in com-
mand of the Guard.
Henderson Family Reunion.
A reunion of the Henderson family
will be held at Stevens’ park, Tyrone,
on Thursday, July 27th. The branch
of the family who are active in hold-
ing this reunion trace their ancestors
back to one, Robert Henderson, who
was born in County Derry, Ireland,
and emigrated to Chester county, Pa.,
during the Revolutionary war, from
which place he removed to Bald Ea-
gle ridge about the year 1800. He
left a family of nine sons and one
daughter. The descendants of this
family of Hendersons are diffused
over Pennsylvania and a number of
other States. A general invitation is
extended to all persons of the Hender-
son name with the idea of tracing the
family connection between all. Infor-
mation in regard to the reunion will
be gladly given by Robert A. Hender-
san, attorney at law, Altoona, Pa.

coming in rapidly, Prof. A. H. Espen-
shade, registrar of The Pennsylvania
State College, has started to grant ad-
missions to the 1000 men and women
who will enter in the fall in the larg-
est class ever to be admitted. The
method of basing admission on scho-
lastic record rather than on priority
of application makes the registrar’s
task a huge one.

——Why sit at home and swelter
with the heat these hot evenings when
you can go to the Scenic and be per-
fectly comfortable while watching the
motion pictures. The half dozen big
fans recently installed by manager T.
Clayton Brown keep the room well
ventilated. The pictures you will al-
ways find interesting and worth see-
ing, so that you are assured of a good
evening’s entertainment.

bi Ee At Li
C. D. Casebeer was summoned
to Somerset last week owing to the
death of his mother, Mrs. A. J. Case-
beer, who died on Tuesday. She was
the oldest resident of that locality, :
being ninety years old on March 4th.
Her remains were laid to rest in the
Casebeer cemetery at six o'clock on

sions and those who had the pleasure
of meeting her recall her many fine
and ennobling traits of character.
The interior of Harry Ruhl’s
barber shop under the First National
bank is fast nearing completion and
there is no gainsaying the fact that it
will be just a little bit the nicest shop
in town. The wainscoting is of white
tile and the floor of white with black
inlaid. The furnishings of the cigar
store on the Allegheny side of the
building are practically all new, with
built in shelves, drawers, ete. At the
rate the work is now progressing the
rooms will probably be ready for oc-
cupancy by August first.
— The new catalogue of the Belle-
fonte Academy contains an airplane
picture of Hughes field and the Belle-
fonte aviation field as well as a num-
ber of pictures of the new swimming
pool on Hughes field which add great-
ly to the attractiveness of the book.
While fresh water is being pumped in-
to the pool every day the flow of the
artesian well is not as great as was
anticipated and Mr. Hughes has made
arrangements with the man who
drilled the well to return in the near
future and go down deeper. How
much deeper the well will be put de-
pends entirely upon the flow of water
secured.

Twenty-five years ago when
Hecla park was but newly opened the
old business men’s association of
Bellefonte had a balloon ascension as
one of the attractions at their annual
picnic. The Associated Business Men
of Bellefonte are not offering balloon
ascensions as an inducement to attend
their big picnic on Thursday, August
17th, but they will give a full day’s
program of sports, band concerts and
other entertainment that will keep the
crowd occupied all the time. Those
who love dancing will be afforded that
pleasure afternoon and evening, while
there will be a ball game in the morn-
ing and one in the afternoon. Keep
the date in mind and help swell the
crowd.
——Just ten more days and the
trout fishing season for 1922 will be
at an end and the speckled beauties
will have another eight and a half
months of undisturbed peace. But the
trout were pretty well protected dur-
ing most of the season because of the
numerous hard rain storms, cold
weather and high and muddy waters.
The result is that the catch so far has
been considerably below normal, not-
withstanding the fact that most of the
streams seem to have about the usual
number of trout in them. With the
closing of the trout season the last
day of July some fishermen will de-
vote their attention to bass, but the
majority will fold up their rod and
tackle until next April.
Elks Kiddies Day Picnic.
The Bellefonte Lodge of Elks will
hold its “kiddies day picnic” at Hecla
park Thursday, August 10th, where
all children of Bellefonte and vicinity,
between the ages of 6 and 14 years,
will be entertained from 9 o’clock in
the morning until 5 o’clock in the
afternoon.
Transporation has been arranged
\{ for and busses will leave the Diamond
at 9 a. m., returning from the park
at 5 p. m.
Ample facilities will be provided for
the care and entertainment of the
children, and parents need not hesi-
tate in allowing their children to take
advantage of this day’s outing under
the supervision of “the big brothers.”
So that there may be no lack of suf-
ficient provision for transportation
and entertainment of the kiddies, the
committee requests that all children
who expect to attend this picnic, reg-
ister their names at the Elks club on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
July 31st, August 1st and 2nd. Mr.
G. W. Rees will be in charge of the
registration, and if not convenient to
call in person, names may be sent by
mail to Mr. Rees.
The famous I. O. O. F. band will be
at the park all day and all kinds of
amusement will be furnished the chil-
dren, including an up-to-date vaude-
ville show, boating, swimming and
athletic contests.
In conjunction with kiddies’ day will
be held a basket picnic for Elks and
their friends.
The Johnnie Jones black and white
orchestra will furnish music for danc-
ing during the afernoon and evening.
Date Set for Start of New Penn State
Hospital.
Plans are almost completed for the
gathering of potato growers from
every section of the State to attend
the ground-breaking ceremonies for
the new hospital at The Pennsylvania
State College—to be erected entirely
from funds subscribed by Pennsylva-
nia growers of the lowly “spud.” The
date has been set for August 25th,
and it is expected that even before
that day, the entire fund of $150,000
will have been raised.
Delegations of potato growers from
every county in the State are plan-
ning to go to State College for the
breaking of the ground, and it is ex-
pected that more than 5000 will be on
hand for the occasion. A leading
place among those who are expected
| to attend will be reserved for the 230
| Butler county boys who have pledged
(810,000 as their share in the move-
| ment, and for the five boys of the
Hopewell Potato club of Cumberland
| county, who dug deep into their pock-
jets to contribute $100 each and then
sent word that “there was more if
needed.”
The visiting growers will not only
attend the ground-breaking, but many
of them will also have their first op-
portunity to inspect the college of the
State, in which, as citizens of Penn-
sylvania, they are part owners.
Two Men Electrocuted.
Jonas Ebersole, of Bedford county,
and Joseph Dreher, of Philadelphia,
were electrocuted at the Rockview
penitentiary on Monday morning.
Both men were brought to the peni-
tentiary by automobile on Saturday,
Ekersole being brought the entire dis-
tance from Bedford while Dreher was
brought as far as Lock Haven by train
and taken from there to Rockview by
auto.
Ebersole was the first to be sent to
the chair while Dreher followed elev-
en minutes later. Neither man show-
ed any noticeable concern as to his
fate. The crime for which Ebersole
paid the penalty was committed last
September when he killed his wife’s
half-brother, thirteen year old Ken-
neth Brandt, then trussed up the
body with rope and threw it down an
abandoned well. His only excuse for
the murder was that the boy had told
tales about him to his wife. Eber-
sole’s body was claimed and taken
back to Bedford county for burial.
Dreher was convicted of Killing
Edith Warren in September, 1921, by
cutting her throat with a razor be-
cause she spurned his attentions. His
body was unclaimed and was buried in
the penitentiary cemetery.
Cutting Timber in Logan Forest.
District forester Morton, of Peters-
burg, has notified the Department of
Forestry that three chestnut timber
operations are being carried on in the
Logan state forest in the Seven moun-
tains. Keg staves and mine props are
being manufactured from trees that
have been attacked by chestnut blight.
In order to replace the diseased chest-
nut trees with another crop of more
valuable trees, the lumbermen are
careful not to damage the young
growth under the trees they are fell-
ing. All revenue received by the De-
partment of Forestry from the sale of
this material is paid into the State’s
school fund.
—— That good, old Methodist.
‘Squire H. C. Warfel, of Philipsburg,
must have been woefully shocked last
week when he read an item in a Belle-
fonte paper which put him in the same
class with the bootleggers. Of course,
the ’Squire’s intimate friends would
probably know he was not guilty even
before an explanation from the pub-
lisher of the paper assured Mr. War-
fel that the item in question was one
of those unfortunate “slips” that
sometimes get into a newspaper not-
withstanding the utmost care and vig-
ilance of the publishers. ‘
