Arterially embalmed, casket enclos- ed, medicinally certified and labelled, the remains of one of the big St. Ber- nard dogs of Mrs. Iva May Rote, wife of Charles Rote, the dog troupe fea- ture in popular carnivals, arrived in Bellefonte on Monday morning via American Railway express, weight 213 pounds and $6.05 prepaid. The dog passed to his reward at Kingston, N. C., following an illness of some weeks with cancer of the stomach. The remains were shipped north on Saturday and arrived here on Monday morning. Drayman Harry Rossman received the big box, which was con- signed to Clayton Rote, and conveyed it to Coleville where the dog was probably given a decent and sacred burial on the vine clad slopes of Mun- cy mountain. Everybody in Coleville and most people in Bellefonte recall Mr. and Mrs. Rote and their big St. Bernard. For quite a number of years he has been the big end of their pay check in their carnival dog show, which prob- ably accounts for sending him home in a casket for burial near their old fireside. A Ministerial Appeal. The Bellefonte Ministerial associa- tion, which met in the Y. M. C. A. rooms Monday morning, took the fol- lowing action: In response to the request of Fed- eral Churches of Christ in America, and the American committee for in- habitants of Armenia, that we do most urgently request the citizens of Cen- tre county to comply with the follow- ing recommendations made by the Federal Council of Churches in Amer- ica. 1st—To write at once to the Presi- dent, our two Senators, and our Rep- resentative, urging that the govern- ment A—TUse its good offices to secure permanent protection and religious liberty for the minorities of the Near East, and a national home for the Ar- menian people.

The greater part of her life, however, was spent in the Halfmoon valley where she was re- vered as few women are. A woman of exceptional refinement, the beauty of her placid, helpful nature had been an uplifting influence in her home com- munity for more than half a century. While she lived far beyond the allotted age, yet she possessed that youthful spirit that casts benevolence and hope- fulness about it even to the last. Mrs. Gray was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for over seventy-six years. She was married when eighteen years of age, but her husband preceded her to the grave twenty-two years ago. The only sur- vivor of their union is their son R. J. P. Gray, of Stormstown. A sister, Mrs. I. V. Gray, is living at Philips- burg. Funeral services were held by the Rev. George M.

The three days’ bazaar held in the armory last week by the Brooks-Doll post of the American Legion closed on Saturday night with an overflow at- tendance. The total receipts were close to fourteen hundred dollars, but the expense was also unusually heavy and the committee in charge estimate the net income at from six to seven hundred dollars. B. F. Peters, of Wingate, held the lucky ticket, No. 6633, which won the new Nash car given away. On this deal the Post cleared about four hun- dred dollars, which goes into the new home fund, while the bazaar receipts will be applied to current expenses. The new home fund, by the way, is now in the neighborhood of five thous- and dollars, counting cash on hand and pledges, which is still far short of the desired amount if the Legion boys are to secure the home they have in view. ——The next rally of the Bellefonte United Brethren Christian Endeavor district will be held at Centre Line, next Tuesday evening, November 21st, An address on Christian Education will be delivered by a prominent worker.

Tentative plans for the purchase of | the Valentine property, corner of | High and Spring streets, have been i made by the Evangelical congregation i of this place. | The consideration is stated as being 1 $12,000 and possession will be given { April 1st, 1923. The present property lof the Evangelical church on Willow- , bank street is to be converted into {modern apartments, but it may be | some time before that is done as the { old church will have to be used until a | new structure can be built on the new i lot.

It was erect- ed by Col. James Dunlop, one of the i founders of the town, in 1796, and the first sessions of county court were held in it. Red Cross Patients Cared for by Dr. Rugh in Philadelphia. In last week’s “Watchman” was published the yearly report of the Red Cross nursing activities work. Among the things accomplished, thirteen children had been taken to Dr. Rugh’s orthopedic clinic at State College for examination. Three of these patients were recommended for operations and arrangements were completed to take them to Dr. Rugh in Philadelphia, Tuesday of this week.

After consulta- tion, Dr. Rugh placed her in Jeffer- son hospital for treatment, and Mrs. Hagan returned home Tuesday even- ing. ! J. Elmer Clark Had Narrow Escape. J. Elmer Clark, a well known far- mer of Buffalo Run, had a thrilling adventure and miraculous escape on ‘ Tuesday when his clothing caught in | some machinery and was torn to . shreds. Mr. Clark had started the water pump at his barn and the belt being twisted he stooped over to fix it. His coat caught on a projecting bolt and he was whirled around the shaft but when he struck the ground he was able to get a tight hold on a ‘log. The whirling machinery, how- ever, tore all the clothing from his body. He sustained bad cuts on his head and neck but no fatal injuries. Christmas Cards.

Wagner’s Great Opera, “Die Walk- uere,” to be Presented in Altoona. The greatest musical attraction ever in Altoona will be the presentation at the Mishler theatre on Friday even- ing, November 24th, of Richard Wag- ner’s opera, “Die Walkuere.” The belles and beaux of this vicinity of the present day will thus be given their first glimpse of the famous opera, which is full of stirring episodes and contains some of the most charming arias the great German composer ever wrote. The “Spring” song, sung by Siegmund, is thought by many music lovers to be one of the most beautiful bits of the opera and will be done in fine style by Heinrich Knote, the em- inent Metropolitan opera star. The fire spectacle with flames en- cricling Bruennhilde, a part sung by Mai Kalna, the California prima dona, is one of the most spectacular scenes. With a symphony orchestra of fifty musicians under the baton direction of the famous Wagnerian conductor, Ernest Knoch; unequaled modern stage lighting and scenic effects, “Die Walkuere,” is sure to please the most critical. Never have the lovers of grand op- era had such an opportunity in Altoo- na, and naturally enough they are looking forward to it with eager an- ticipation and keen delight. Reserva- tions can be made by mail or other agency and will receive prompt at- tention. ——The last big football game at home, on the Academy schedule, will be played on Saturday, at 2:30 o’clock, on Hughes field, between the unde- feated Bucknell Reserves and the Academy team.

The Bucknell Varsity is one of the strongest elevens in Penn- sylvania, and that means that the re- serve eleven must be a good one. Don’t miss this last game. ——FEuropean politics caused a stabbing affray at the plant of the Osceola Silica and Fire Brick compa- ny, at Osceola Mills, on Sunday night. Harry Supko, a Polander, got into an altercation with Julius Kaylenski, a Russian, over the situation between their native countries. The argu- ment waxed hot and finally Supko drew a big knife and stabbed Kaylens- ki in the back. The latter is now a patient in the Cottage State hospital, Philipsburg, with fair chances of re- covery, while at this writing Supko has succeeded in eluding arrest.

He and another workman were being conveyed to work in a small car and in order to avoid hitting a workman who stepped in front of the car the driver turned too quickly and the machine upset. The three men were hurt, though it 5 ay believed their injuries will prove atal. ——On Monday night ’Squire Albert Lynch and family, of Lewistown, were motoring over the Seven mountains on their way home from a trip to Clear- field. In the vicinity of the Mountain spring Mr. Lynch was suddenly con- fronted by two deer coming toward him, right in the middle of the road. He couldn’t stop and the animals were evidently blinded by the head- lights on the ear as both jumped against the machine. As soon as he could stop his car Mr. Lynch backed the machine to investigate but could find no trace of the deer. ——AIll the tenants of the Shoe- maker house on north Allegheny street, or more correctly speaking, the property of Mrs. W. F. Reeder, have gone on a strike on account of the lack of heat. In this instance a strike means the vacation of the property. Mz. and Mrs. Hassell Montgomery and two children have gone to the home of Mr. Montgomery’s mother, on west Linn street; A. Linn McGinley and wife have gone to the home of Mr. McGinley’s parents, on Thomas street, while Ralph Smith and wife expect to get located somewhere before the end of the week. ——Only thirteen more days until the opening of the deer hunting sea- son and if all reports that have come out of the mountainous districts this summer are true the season should vield good results. Many deer have been seen, and the only question that is worrying the hunters is how plen- tiful the bucks will be? Only last week a party of rabbit hunters saw four bucks in one herd not four miles from Bellefonte, but whether they will be in that locality the opening day of the season is rather uncertain. The fact that they were all bucks looks as if they were on the trail and two weeks from now may be fifty miles away. Just the same, there will like- ly be an average percentage of bucks where the does are plentiful and every hunter will have to take his chance. ——— i re ————— Real Estate Transfers.

Mr. Merchant: Mr. Manufacturer: Are You Buying Light or simply Using Lamps Many people, in the past, have felt that the light- ing question was solely a matter of good lamps. But the fact is that in addition to good lamps there must also be the scientific use of er lighting practice will get better efficiency from the current used, display goods to better advantage, in- crease the output of industrial plants, reduce acci- dents, and actually make better lighting pay for itself. Poor lighting is much lighting. Good lighting means not only savings, but it also means more earnings, because it produces definite and measurable increases in production and sales. A wealth of facts and figures are available for any one who will ask for them at The Better Light- ing Show to be held at the ARMORY, BELLEFONTE, NOV. 22, 23 and 24. Not only will this information be gladly supplied, but a survey to determine the your plant will be undertaken, without obligation to you, if you wish.
