the only attraction next week. The
always reliable, ever dependable Scen-
ic will be open as usual every evening
during the week and it offers a splen-
did way for entertaining your friends.
An evening at the Scenic is a treat for

ties are both pleasant and interesting.
——Bellefonte housekeepers should
bear in mind the fact that next Mon-
day will be Labor day, and all the
stores in Bellefonte will be closed.

liams, purchasing agent of the Cen-

sey, will be interested in learning that

size solid gold ring in the chicken

Blanchard and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis L.

club, for the joint benefit of its own
work and that of the Bellefonte hos-
pital will give a series of musical teas.
William Shakespeare did not say that
good tea, and the afternoon, become
the touches of sweet harmony; but,
bearing a specimen of Uncle Sam’s
silver coinage, go and prove it’s true.
——George W. Rossman, the well
known merchant and garage owner of
Rock Springs, was brought to the
Bellefonte hospital on Wednesday and
yesterday morning underwent a ma-
jor operation. He was taken sick sev-
eral weeks ago and because of the ser-
iousness of his condition two minor
operations were performed at his own
home as a means of temporary relief
until he could stand the trip to the
hospital. Inquiry at that institution
before the “Watchman” went to press
yesterday brought the information
that while Mr. Rossman is a very sick
man he withstood the operation fairly
well, considering his condition. He
had not entirely recovered from the
effects of the anaesthetic and it will
be some hours before any decided de-
velopments, either for better or worse,
may be expected.

ty farmers, stockmen, implement

sionists will also put their attractions

tor the opening of the picnic on Mon-

ligious services.
The official opening of the picnic
will take place on Monday and the
speakers both that day and Tuesday
will be officials of the Centre county
and State Grange.
Wednesday will be soldier's day,
when the members of the Centre
County Veteran club will hold their
annual reunion. While all the ar-
rangements for this gathering have
not been completed at this writing the
committee in charge has the assur-
ance of a number of good speakers.
The Citizens band of Ferguson town-
ship will furnish the music during the
day. Soldiers of the Spanish-Amer-
ican and World wars are invited to
join with the G. A. R. men on this oc-
casion. All soldiers will be admitted
20 the grounds free of charge on that
ay.
A live stock judging contest for

nesday under the auspices of The
Pennsylvania State College and the
county Farm Bureau. County agent

all boys and girls wishing to enter
should report to him. Prizes will be
awarded the winners.
The big day of the picnic will nat-
urally be Thursday, and the drawing

chot. Being Master of the State
Grange 1. McSparran will spend the
entire day at the park and will speak

plates a motor trip over the Seven
mountains from Lewistown in the
morning. His address to the picnic
crowd will be made at 10:30 o’clock a.
m., after which he will motor to Boals-
burg, where he will be entertained at
lunch by Col. Theodore Davis Boal,
who will that day entertain the offi-
cers of the old Twenty-eighth divis-
ion. The afternoon will be spent as
Mz. Pinchot elects, either returning to
the picnic or motoring to State Col-
lege and Bellefonte.
The big picnic will close on Friday
with the customary sale of stock and
implements.
League of Women Voters Picnic.
A community picnic at the Snow
Shoe driving park, last Friday, was
given under the auspices of the League
of Women Voters, of which Mrs. W.
Cordis Snyder is the district director.
Owing to the threatening weather the
crowd was not as large as anticipated,
but there was no lack of interest be-
cause of that fact.
All the candidates on both the Dem-
ocratic and Republican tickets had
been invited to attend, but none of
the Republicans were in evidence.
Democratic candidates present includ-
ed Fred B. Kerr, J. Frank Snyder,
William I. Betts and Miss Zoe Meek.
The purpose of the League of Wom-
en Voters and the object of the pic-
nic were tersely explained by Mrs. A.
L. Kocher, of State College, president
of the Centre county branch of the
League, and Mrs. R. M. Beach, of
Bellefonte. Opportunity was then
given each of the candidates to ad-
dress the women and their remarks
left a very favorable impression upon
all who heard thera. The sentiment of
all seemed to be in favor of an ener-
getic campaign along the lines laid
down in their party platform and de-
void of all mud-slinging and improp-
er personalities.
rn —— ns snares,
Mrs. Romans Coming to Bellefonte.
On Friday evening, September 8th,
Mrs. Viola D. Romans, of Columbus,
Ohio, vice president of the Ohio W. C.
T. U., and Chautauqua lecturer, will
address a public meeting in the court
house at 8 o’clock. The recent great
victory in the Ohio primaries, where
the “wets,” who were running on the
wine and beer platform, met such a
great defeat, was largely due to the
efforts of the W. C. T. U. Many have
been the battles waged in the politics
of Ohio by the “wets” and “drys,” but
always in the last few years the
“drys” have won overwhelmingly.
Every one should be interested in see-
ing and hearing Mrs. Romans. Ad-
mission free to all.
It is interesting to note in this con-
nection that in twenty other States
recently like victories have been won
by the “drys” at State primaries,
which the W. C. T. U. claims denotes
the real sentiment of the people of the
United States better than any maga-
zine poll or “wet” propaganda pub-
lished widely throughout the country.
——Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Haag are
receiving congratulations on the birth
of a daughter, born yesterday morn-
ing, at their home on Bishop street.
——The Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. has
made provision for taking care of boys
and men from the rural districts who
come to town either to school or for
leisure. In order that they may have
advantage of the Y while in town a
membership card will be issued at the
nominal price of $1.00 for boys and
$2.00 for men.

— The people of Bellefonte are
again reminded of the fact that the
closing exercises on the Bellefonte
playgrounds will be held on the High
school grounds this (Friday) after-
noon. Those in charge of the affair
have arranged a splendid program,
which it is believed will demonstrate
the value of the playgrounds to the
children of Bellefonte. Everybody in
Bellefonte who has in any way con-
tributed to the support of the play-
grounds during the summer should
show their continued interest by at-
tending the closing exercises this
afternoon.
——Roy Woomer, of Axe Mann, a
member of Major H. L. Curtin’s head-
quarters troop, 52nd machine gun bat-
talion, is home recuperating from in-
juries received last Saturday when the
troop was moved from Ebensburg to
Somerset. Mr. Woomer was riding his
own horse and leading a hurdler when
the latter frightened at something,
jumped in front of Woomer’s horse
which fell to the ground. The young
trooper could not get his feet out of
the stirrups quick enough to jump
and the horse fell upon him. He sus-
tained several fractured ribs and
some bad cuts about the face and head
but is able to walk around.

——Quite a number of Bellefonte
and Centre county people motored
over the Seven mountains last Thurs-
day for the big day at the Lewistown
fair, and it proved a disappoint-
ing trip for all of them. The
first heats of the races in the after-
noon had just been pulled off when a
hard rainstorm descended on the big
crowd. It is estimated that over
twelve thecusand people were on the
grounds and as half of them couldn’t
get under shelter they were drenched
to the skin. The rain continued the
balance of the afternoon and the races
were postponed until Friday.
——=Among the new subscribers
added to the “Watchman”
week is the name of W. H. Hender-
shot, of Pittsburgh, who was born and
spent his boyhood days in the neigh-
borhood of the Valentine iron works.
That was over half a century ago and
in those days boys in the neighborhood
of the Valentine iron works were ed-
ucated mostly in the school of hard
knocks and Mi. Hendershot evidently
graduated at the head of his class, as
he is the last member of his immedi-
ate family and has come through all
the hard knocks that generally befall
the average man and is now comfort-
ably located in the Smoky city. Leav-
ing Bellefonte going on forty years
ago he went to Harrisburg where he
was employed as a switchman by the
Pennsylvania railroad company until
about four years ago when he gave
up his job and went to Pittsburg
where he now has a good berth with a
large wholesale house.
——If any person has noticed a
shortage in Bellefonte’s meat supply
during the past two or three weeks
the scarcity might be laid at the door
of one Edward P. Butts, a native of
the town who is now visiting here
after an absence of some years. His
chief diversion every day is feeding
the big trout in Spring creek, and he
feeds them morning, noon and night,
and sometimes gives them a lunch be-
tween times. Of course he isn’t the
only one who feeds the trout, as many
strangers indulge in the same prac-
tice and there are days when easily
ten pounds of ground meat are thrown
to the trout in the creek near the
“Watchman” office. During the open
season for trout it was generally be-
lieved that many of the big trout had
been scooped out of the creek, but if
such were the case, it don’t look like
it now, as dozens of the big fellows
can be seen every day in the short
space between the bridge and the falls.
Of course the feeding of the trout is
one of the reasons for their congre-
gating in that place.
Two Families Burned Out of ‘House
and Home.
Shortly after midnight on Saturday
night the double house at Hecla occu-
pied by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Fulton
and John Sheasley and family was
burned to the ground together with
most of the contents. Mr. Fulton is
quite aged and somewhat decrepit and
it is believed the fire was caused by
his dropping a lamp. The Fultons
were unable to save any of their
household goods while the Sheasleys
got some of their furniture out of the
first floor but everything else, upstairs
furniture and clothing were burned.
Mr. Sheasley was not at home at the
time of the fire as he works on a saw
mill on Trout Run. The Sheasley
family includes five children, one boy
ten years old and four younger girls.
Inasmuch as they have no clothing an
appeal has been sent to Bellefonte for
contributions and any one who can
spare anything suitable for little girls
up to eight years of age and a boy of
ten should send them to the Red Cross
rooms and they will be delivered to
the Sheasley family.

Lots Being Sold on Halfmoon Hill.
Up to Tuesday evening Haupt and
Brown had sold twelve building lots
on Halfmoon hill and have a number
of other prospects. The owners
bought the Halfmoon hill tract a num-
ber of years ago confident that the
time would come when a demand for
building lots in and near Bellefonte
would afford them a good market. In’
the meantime the land was farmed
and yielded good crops.
The scarcity of desirable houses in
Bellefonte, with few vacant lots, has
at last created a demand for building
sites on Halfmoon hill. The first
lots, three in number, were sold less
than a month ago to William Cun-
ningham and he is already having the
foundation dug for a house. Since
his purchase nine additional lots have
been sold and on some of these, at
least, houses will be built next spring.
Haupt and Brown have put new
concrete steps up the hill from the end
of west High street and the borough
is now extending the water out over
the hill to the borough limit. In due
time a good road leading from Lamb
street will be graded to the top of the
hill, which will afford ample hauling
accommodations either up or down.

developed and little excitement was
caused.

ner, were over night guests at the Bush
house, Wednesday. Dr. Bordner was a
resident of Bellefonte in the late eighties,
having practiced his profession of dentist-
ry here for several years, and made a short
stop to renew old acquaintances in Belle-
fonte, while on a drive through central
and western Pennsylvania.
—DMrs. Clarence Williams and Miss Anna
Straub have been chaperoning the fourteen
girl scouts, who are in camp at the Pot-
ter and Hoy camp on Bald Eagle creek.
This camp, which originally belonged to
the Masons, and later to Mr. Goodling, of
State College, was purchased early in the
season by the Potter-Hoy hardware com-
pany, and converted into one of the most
attractive places in this section of the
State.
—Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Kirk and their
small daughter, Mary Katherine, are
spending a part of Mr. Kirk's vacation
with Mrs. Kirk's mother, Mrs. D. I. Wil-
lard, expecting to be in Centre county for
a week or ten days. Upon leaving next
week for the return drive to their home at
Tarrs, Westmoreland county, Mr. and Mrs.
Kirk will be accompanied by Mrs. Willard.
Miss Frances Willard, who left a month
ago with a party of girls for Lake Cana-
dohta, later going to Union City and Lake
Chatauqua, returned home Saturday.
—Miss Anna Mary Hunter was a guest
of her cousins, Robert F. and J. D. Hunt-
er for a part of the past week, having
come here Saturday from State College,
where she had been visiting with relatives
and friends for a part of August. Miss
Hunter, who now makes her home with her
brother, Prof. John A. Hunter, at Boul-
der, Col., is east for a visit with her sis-
ter, Mrs. Smith, at Mingo Junction, Ohio,
and with the family of her brother, the
late Dr. Wallace Hunter, of Erie, a short
part of her time being with friends else-
where in the State.
—Harry McWilliams, of Ferguson town-
ship, was in Bellefonte on Tuesday. He
didn’t say that he was on business and we
rather believe that he was just joy-riding
because he was with a large family party.
His brother Samuel and wife, of Canons-
burg, had been visiting him since last Fri-
day. With them were Mrs. McWilliams’
father, William Thompson, and Prof. Mc-
Vey, superintendent of the schools of Can-
onsburg. They all started for Bellefonte
and at State College picked up their sis-
ter, Mrs. Newton Hess and her husband,
so that they had a car full by the time
they reached here. The Canonsburg par-
ty returned to their homes on Wednesday.
—A Scott Harris, of Pittsburgh, is here
for a visit of a few days with his father
and sister, Mr. John P. Harris and Mrs.
Emily Warfield. Scott is on the staff of
the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times and along
with his other work contributes to the
sporting pages of the Sunday edition.
Last Sunday he published a reminiscent
story of John Montgomery Ward's time in
baseball and as we were reading it we
wondered whether he might not tell the
readers of the Times a few of his own ex-
periences in baseball. While Scott was
never a professional he was an amateur of
some reputation in this neck-o’ the woods
back in the wet spring of '37. We fancy
that a tale of the time Bellefonte journey-
ed to Lemont in a special train then walk-
ed three miles overland to play State Col-
lege and got nothing more than a free-for-
all fight would interest Pittsburghers
whose only thrills nowadays are throwing
pop bottles at an umpire. If Scott were to
let out some of the high lights of that ex-
pedition his story would be really sensa-
tional.
