Woodward providing for the repeal of

AUTO SHOW A BIG SUCCESS.
ee.
Thirty-eight Cars and Two Trucks
Feature Annual Exhibition in
Armory.
Thirty-eight cars
twenty-one of the standard makes
and two trucks feature the second an-
nual auto show now being held in the
Bellefonte armory under the auspices
of the Centre County Automobile
Dealers’ association. And the list
represents cars of all degrees of ex-
cellence, from the moderate priced
Ford and Star to the high-priced Cad-
illac town car equipped with every-
thing necessary to make it a car of
luxury as well as one of beauty and
utility.
The armory never looked more gen-
teel and “dressed up” than it does on
this occasion. Every crossbheam is
heavily festooned with spruce, which
also contributes largely to the wall
decorations giving the entire interior
the appearance of a bower of green
foliage. Green runners on the floor
carry out the color scheme and large
bouquets of flowers at various points
add a home-like effect which is very
pleasing. The orchestra platform in
the centre of the room is also very ap-
propriately decorated.
The big room is divided into four-
teen exhibitors’ blocks or spaces and
every one is solidly filled with cars,
allowing room enough for one aisle
around the building. The show open-
ed promptly at two o’clock on Wed-
nesday afternoon and notwithstanding
the snow and rather inclement weath-
er the attendance was very good both
in the afternoon and evening. Ken-
nedy’s Novelty orchestra, a musical
aggregation of State College students,
was in attendance Wednesday even-
ing and delighted everybody with
their splendid renditions.
To specialize more particularly, the
first exhibit to catch the eye upon en-
tering the armory is that of the Chev-
rolet and Oldsmobile cars, by the
Decker Bros., of Bellefonte and Spring
Mills, and Decker & Harper, State
College. They have two Chevrolets
and one Olds, and Kearny Decker is
the man in charge.
Next in line is the splendid exhibit
of the Deitrick-Dunlap Cadillac Co.,
of Bellefonte, with Mr. Deitrick in
charge. Their exhibit includes a Cad-
illac touring car which sells for $3200,
a Cadillac town car priced at $4200,
and a sports model Buick worth $1800,
the entire exhibit representing a val-
uation in excess of $9000. The Dei-
trick-Dunlap Co. started business in
Bellefonte only a few weeks ago but
the members of the firm are both en-
ergetic salesmen and are sure to suec-
ceed.
The Beatty Motor Co., of Bellefonte,
display includes three Ford cars and
a 1% ton truck. T. C. Shoemaker is
in charge but as everybody knows the
Ford he isn’t overworked trying to
emphasize the good points of the car.
Four cars constitute the display of
Dodges. This exhibit is credited to
C. E. Snyder, of State College, a di-
rect dealer; and the Bellefonte Mo-
tor Co., Boozer & Smith, of Centre
Hall; Jchn A. Confer & Son, of Snow
Shoe; A. E. List, of Tyrone, and the
Lewistown Motor Co., associate deal-
ers. J. Harris Holmes, of State Col-
lege, is the floor man but Mr. Snyder
is also on hand explaining the good
points of the car he represents.
George A. Beezer, of Bellefonte, has
three Studebakers on the floor and
John Porter Lyon is constantly on the
go showing visitors the latest im-
provements in this popular car.
The display of Willis E. Wion, of
Bellefonte, includes three Nash cars,
priced from a little over a thousand
dollars up to better than two thous-
and. Both the Nash Four and Nash
Six are winning favor with the public
daily and Mr. Wion has good pros-
pects for the spring season. He also
sells the Franklin car but was unable
to get a late model here in time for
the show. :
Weaver & Breon, of Millheim, have
two Reo’s on exhibition. They also
sell as associate dealers the Nash,
Overland and Willys-Knight.
Jodon & Sommers, of Pleasant Gap,
are sponsors for the exhibit of two
New Oakland Six’s. Ed. Sommers is
in charge and has a line of talk on his
car that attracts attention from
would-be purchasers.
One Chandler represents the exhibit
of the Poorman garage, of Bellefonte,
but Mr. Poorman is confident that
while his exhibit may be lacking in
quantity it is well stocked with qual-
ity.
John Musser, of State College, is
showing the Earl and Gray cars, two
makes comparatively new in this sec-
tion but both looking as good as any
of the other standard cars.
Henry Meyer, of State College, has
an exhibit of one Star, the car built
as a rival to the Ford, a Durant, one
Columbia and a Haynes. The three
last named are all standard makes and
always give satisfaction.
The Krader Motor Co., of Belle-
fonte, have three Maxwells and one
Chalmers on the floor, both well
known cars.
Two Overlands and two Willys-
Knights are included in the exhibit of
R. N. Van Ingen & Co., of Bellefonte,
Both cars have long been standardized
and are quite well known in this sec-
tion.
One big White truck constitutes the
exhibit of the Emerick Motor Bus
company. While as an exhibit it does
not have the same attraction as the
finely finished cars, as an implement
of dependability it is in a class by it-
self. In fact White trucks have an
established reputation everywhere.
representing |
should make it a point to visit the
show today and tomorrow. Every ex-
hibitor will take pleasure in showing
you the fine points of his car and you
will be agreeably entertained.
While cars and trucks are naturally
the chief attraction members of the
Women's Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A.
are established in one of the small
rooms where they serve meals to those
desiring the same. The Woman's Aux-
iliary of the Bellefonte hospital is
represented with a stand in one cor-
ner of the main room, where they sell
home-made candy and confections.
Their receipts for the first day were
$30.00. 2
In closing we want to say that much
of the success of the show is due to
the hard work of show manager W.
C. Rowe. He worked out the details,
prepared the program, superintended
the decorations, placed the exhibits,
was here, there and everywhere, and
always cool and collected, pleasant and
agreeable to all.
While it is quite possible that some
of the exhibitors, at least, will book
sales before the show is over, that is
not the big thing by any means. The
great object is to advertise the cars
and become acquainted with car own-
ers and prospective buyers, and this in
itself will more than repay the ex-
pense of the show.
A man by the name of Moyer,
who lives along the back road going
up Buffalo Run, died in his buggy on
Wednesday afternoon, while on his
way home from Bellefonte. Mr. Moy-
er was accompanied by his daughter.

It Sounds Incredible, But It’s True.
Of all the bargains we have ever
heard of this one sounds like the
greatest. We know a 95 acre farm
within four miles of Bellefonte that
can be hought today for the prover-
bial song. On it are 25 acres of stand-
ing timber the value of - which two
competent woodsmen have placed at
more than the price the entire proper-
ty can be bought for. It has a good
barn and house, spring water at both
| barn and house, rural mail delivery,
i telephone installed, barn equipped
| with modern hay carrier, new hog
house, granary, new garage, black-
smith shop with full set of tools, stone
ice house and other necessary out-
buildings.
On this great bargain counter are
placed two good horses, one register-
ed, two cows, two heifers, a large flock
of white leghorn chickens, gasoline
engine, wagon, bob-sled, sleigh, mow-
er, drill, hay-rake, corn-planter, har-
row, cultivators, corn sheller, harness,
general farm equipment and enough
hay, straw, fodder, corn and oats in
the barn to keep the stock until the
next crops are harvested.
Land, timber, stock, equipment and
all can be bought for $4200.00. Did
you ever hear the like of it? If you
are really interested drop in and we’ll
tell you where the bargain is.
Held in $1000 Bail for Trial in Fed-
eral Court.
The hearing of Arnot Woodson, of
Bellefonte, before Commissioner
Crocker, in Williamsport, last Friday,
on the charge of illegal possession and
transportation of liquor, not on-
ly resulted in his being held under one
thousand dollars bail for his appear-
ance for trial before the federal court
in Williamsport, in June, but also re-
sulted in charges being preferred
against Gordon Montgomery and he
was held in a like amount of bail for
his appearance before the same court
for trial, on the same charge. The
particulars of this case were fully
covered in last week’s “Watchman.”
Regarding Mr. Montgomery’s car,
which was confiscated by the enforce-
ment officers, that gentleman was giv-
en assurance that he could secure the
release of the car by filing a bond in
a sum double the value of the car.
The bond was fixed up and sent to
Commissioner Crocker, in Williams-
port, but was returned on Tuesday be-
cause it was not drawn up according
to requirements. Another bend was
executed on Wednesday and sent to
the commissioner and as soon as he
approves and returns the same Mr.
Montgomery will be able to secure the
release of his car pending the outcome
of the case.

The date is Tuesday even-:
With the above list to select from ; The Bellefonte Hospital—A Problem.
prospective purchasers of automobiles '
‘was in contemplation last fall.
The board of managers of the Belle-
fonte hospital met last Friday even-
ing to consider specially the matter of
the proposed drive for the enlarge-
ment and improvement of the insti-
tution. :
It was generally known that a firfve
or
cause sufficient the undertaking was
deferred until February. Again rea-
sons why that time was unpropitious
presented themselves and it was post-
poned, with May as a tentative date.
Most every one will agree that the
hospital needs improvement in the
way of building and equipment. There
has been no general public movement
to this end for some years, all of the
effort in behalf of the institution hav-
ing been made by very faithful and
loyal women’s auxiliaries for ma.nte-
nance deficits and repairs and re-
placements.
Ordinarily in considering a drive
there are two factors that should be
uppermost in the public mind: First,
what is proposed to be done? Second,
how much will it cost to do it?
The hospital is a public institution,
the public will have to support it and
for that reason the Board is desirous
that the public should be fully inform-
ed as to conditions at present and
those likely to arise.
As we have said above a tentative
date for a drive in May was set some
time ago. In anticipation of carry-
ing out the project plans were made
for a thorough organization and a hos-
pital architect of national reputation
was approached with a view of having
him make a survey of the property.
This for the purpose of ascertaining
just what alterations, etc., would be
necessary to bring a poorly designed
building as nearly as possible to one
that could be more efficiently and eco-
nomically maintained. It has been
the intention of the board to publish
any plan under consideration in de-
tail, so that all may see and know
just what is proposed. At the same
time the estimated cost will be an-
nounced and it will be the maximum
amount aimed for in the drive.
Lately another factor has appeared
in the problem. If Governor Pinchot’s
new method of rendering State aid to
hospitals becomes operative it might
develop that our institution will re-
ceive far less from the State than it
is now getting. At present we have
an annual allowance of $9,000.00. The
new system, if adopted, would afford
aid from the State in proportion to
the per diem cost of only such patients
as are treated free at the institution.
While it is impossible to accurately
analyze what effect this would have;
from figures available from the hos-
pital records and from infermation
from the Department head at Harris-
burg as to the probable allowance
thereon the Bellefonte institution will
receive something approximating $6,-
000 a year. This, of course, is only
conjectural, but it presents a prob-
lem that the Board thought the pub-
lic should know of before a final de-
termination to conduct a drive be
made.
If the present allowance from the
State should be reduced $2,000 or
$3,000 under what it now is will (not
can) this community make up such a
deficit in maintenance?
It must be kept in mind that the
hospital is now losing about $1,000 an-
nually.
there is a possibility of our having to
do $3,000 or $4,000 more every year
in the way of maintaining the hos-
pital than we have ever done before.
With such a contingency confront-
ing us is it the community wish to go
ahead with a drive for $40,000 or $50,-
000 for changes that would effect ef-
ficiency and economies very much to
be desired, but at the same time su-
perimpose increased maintenance
costs.
This is the crux of the whole situa-
tion. We need the hospital more than
ever. It is rendering splendid service
and the community can support it, but,
as we have intimated parenthetically
above, it is not a question of can. It
is a question of will the community
support to the extent of carrying a
possible very much heavier load than
it has ever done before.
Members of the Board would be
glad to have your opinion on the ques-
tion. They want to serve you, but
they are averse to leading you into
something blindly. For that reason
the matter of a drive has been post-
poned, pending developments at Har-
risburg.

RR ER ERR ER REE,
A Taste of Springtime.
Balmy weather, the chirp of robins,
wasps crawling on the pavements and
water running in rivulets down every
gutter last Friday and Saturday was
the first taste of spring we have en-
joyed this year, and it was a welcome
change from the winter weather which
has lasted since early last December.
The several days of warm weather
took away most of the deep bed of
snow with the possible exception of
that lying on the north side of the
mountains and the natural result was
high water. Spring creek, however,
was not high enough to do any dam-
age, as it did not rise more than two
feet above the normal water mark.
Bald Eagle creek was bank full and
at some places throughout the valley
overflowed onto the lowlands.
An ice jam in the Susquehanna riv-
er backed water until the lower por-
tions of Lock Haven were flooded.
Many cellars were filled and trains
were blocked on Sunday. The water
subsided on Sunday night and Monday
morning but an appeal was sent to
Bellefonte for assistance in pumping
the water out of the cellars, and the
Fire and Police committee gave the
Undine fire company permission to
take their engine down to help with
the work, a heavy truck being used to
haul it to Lock Haven.
The high water from Beech Creek
and the Bald Eagle overflowed at Mill
Hall and caused some inconvenience
there, but did not cause a great
amount of damage. Clearfield report-
ed a twelve foot flood but not much
damage. The cooler weather of the
earlier part of the week prevented
any further rise in the streams and it
is possible that the greatest danger
of high water is now a thing of the
past.

mittees appointed. E. K. Hibshman,
of State College, was present and
spoke at length upon the possibilities
which the trail project holds for the
display of spots of historic and scenic
interest in the central part of Penn-
sylvania.
At that meeting eight large display
signs, 15x25 feet in size were chosen,
to be placed at the larger cities and
towns along the route while fifty
smaller signs of the same nature’ will
be placed at the less important places.
It was decided to mark the poles along
the route in the ratio of ten poles to
the mile, with appropriate stencils. All
markers and signs will be of the type
and design already selected by the as-
sociation and will be placed where
they will give the greatest service to
the motoring public and incidentally
to the towns along the route.
Wynn — Altenderfer. — The princi-
pals in a quiet wedding which took
place at one o’clock on Wednesday
afternoon, at the Presbyterian manse
in Bellefonte, were Charles R. Wynn,
of Sunbury, and Miss Margaret Alt-
enderfer, of Milesburg, but most of
whose life was spent in Bellefonte.
The ceremony was performed by the
pastor, Rev. David R. Evans, and the
only witnesses were Mr. and Mrs.
Gerard Altenderfer, Mrs. W. R. Gain-
fort and Mr. and Mrs. Clark Carson.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Wynn left on a wedding trip
to eastern cities before taking up their
residence in Sunbury.
The bride is a daughter of Martin
L. Altenderfer and since the death of
her mother a number of years ago
and up until last spring had been
housekeeper for her father. She is a
very efficient young woman and Mr.
Wynn is to be congratulated upon his
choice of a life companion. The bride-
groom is employed as a freight con-
ductor on the Williamsport division of
the P. and E. railroad, and is a steady
and industrious young man.
