Hazel were elected as members of the
board of directors for the ensuing
year.
MATCH COMPANIES MERGE.
Pennsylvania Match Co., of Bellefonte,
Included in Big Combine.
Col. W. Fred Reynolds, president
i of the Pennsylvania Match company,
A Bellefonte, on Monday confirmed
the announcement made in New York
a few days previous of the merger of
nine of the largest independent match
companies in the country into one or-
ganization to be.known as the Feder-
al Match company. The merger has
been in process of formation for some
time past but negotiations were com-
pleted only about a week ago.
The new company, which will be
capitalized at six million dollars, in-
cludes the following independent com-
panies: The Pennsylvania Match Co.,
of Bellefonte; Cleveland Match Co., of
Cleveland, Ohio; Fred Fear Match Co.,
of Bloomsburg, Pa.; Indiana Match
Corporation, of Crawfordsville, Ind.;
Minnesota Match Manufacturing Co.,
of Duluth, Minn.; National Match Co.,
of Joliet, Ill.; Reliable Match Co., of
Ashland, Ohio; Union Match Co., of
Duluth, Minn, and the Wheeling
Match Co., of Wheeling, W. Va.
L. A. Sherwood, of Joliet, Ill., has
been selected president of the new
company; Col. W. Fred Reynolds, of
Bellefonte, secretary, and Col. J. L.
Washburn, of Duluth, Minn., chairman
of the board of directors.
Of greatest importance to Belle-
fonte is the announcement that the
merger will in no way affect the man-
agement or operation of the plant of
the Pennsylvania Match company in
Bellefonte, especially adversely. It
will continue just as-it has done in the
past. In fact, instead of a possibility
of its operations being curtailed it is
the belief of the management that its
output will be increased, thus afford-
ing regular employment for a larger
number of persons than ever before.
Col. Reynolds, who took an active part
in the negotiations for the merger,
made it a point to have continued op-
eration of the plant assured, and his
success in the matter is cause for con-
gratulation upon the part of the com-
munity. In addition to being secre-
tary of the new company, Col. Rey-
nolds is also a member of the execu-
tive committee and the finance com:
mittee. With this close connection
with the management and control of-
the new company he will be in a posi-_
tion at all times to safeguard the in-’
terests of the local plant.

A Centre County Boy is Treasurer of
Wyoming.
From a recent issue of the Penn
State Alumni News we learn of the
rapid advancement of a Centre coun-
ty boy who went west not so many
years ago. We refer to John Marshall
Snyder who was born at Blanchard,
this county, and is a son of the late
William Snyder of that place.
Marshall, as he was more familiar-
ly known here, was graduated at State
with the class of 1911. ‘Shortly after
his graduation from college he went to
Montana, where with his brother, he
conducted the Billings gas works.
Later he organized and became presi-
dent of the Bank of Lovell, Wyoming,
was made a member of the State
Highway commission and engineered
several of the big industrial enterpris-
es of the Big Horn basin. The Den-
ver, Col., Post, calls him “one of the
best known bankers of the State.”
Last fall he was nominated and elect-
ed State Treasurer of Wyoming, as a
Republican.

SHOW.
Quite a Number of Cars Sold and
Many Prospects in Sight.
The second annual auto show of the
Centre County Automobile Dealers’
associtioon closed on Saturday night
with the largest attendance of the
week. During the four days of the
show there were a few over fifteen
hundred paid admissions, which was a
little ahead of the attendance during
the five days of the show last year.
In this respect the show was a suc-
cess.
The number of cars sold by the var-
ious dealers is estimated at from
twenty to twenty-five, though the
number may be even greater as most
of the dealers were reluctant about
giving exact figures. Every one of
them, however, admitted that they
had booked many prospects. One
dealer who was candid enough to ad-
mit that he had made only one sale
stated that he had more good pros-
pects in view than he booked at both
the previous shows held in the armo-
ry. Another Bellefonte dealer is cred-
ited with making eight sales as the
result of the show. But the actual
sales made upon the floor of the ar-
mory does not tell the whole story of
the show by any means. Many pros-
pective purchasers were in evidence
and naturally looked over every make
of car exhibited. It may be some
days before they make up their mind
which car to buy, but it is almost a
foregone conclusion that they will be
influenced in their choice by the im-
‘| pression made at the show.
The ticket selling contest closed on
Saturday evening and the drawing to
decide the winners took place shortly
after nine o’clock. The judges were L.
Frank Mayes, Roy Wilkinson and
Harry R. Austin and a boy by the
name of Houck drew the tickets out
of the box. The winner of the first
prize: of $50 was Miss Otillie Hughes;
second prize of $25, Miss Polly Sny-
der, of State College; third prize of
$15, Miss Margaret Emery, of Centre
Hall, and fourth prize of $10, Miss
Louise McClure, of Bellefonte.

Citizens Military Training Camp.
The third annual citizens military
training course of ‘thirty days in the
Third Corps area, which includes
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and
District of Columbia will be held this
year at Camp Meade, Md., from June
26th to July 25th. This is designated
as the basic or red course for begin-
ners and includes infantry, field artil-
lery, cavalry and engineers. Training
in coast artillery will be given’ at Fort
Monroe; Va. ‘Young men between the’

years are eligible. The government
pays all expenses, including car fare
and those who take the course will be
under no obligations to enter either
the National Guard or U. S. Army.

government under the national de-
fense act. The object is to stimulate
and promote citizenship, patriotism
and Americanism; and with expert
physical directors, athletic coaching
and military training, to benefit the
young men individually and bring
them to a realization of their obliga-
tions to their country.

is thirty-two and five applications
have already been filed. Full infor-
mation will be furnished by Capt. Rus-
sell T. George, at the Bellefonte ar-

Senator Quigley to Build $100,000
Stone Castle.
The following news item from the
Altoona Tribune will be of interest to
many readers of the “Watchman,” as
it relates to Senator Richard S. Quig-
ley, of Lock Haven, a native of Centre
county and a brother of Judge Henry
C. Quigley:
Prof. Joseph S. Illick, chief of the
‘| Bureau of Research of the State De-
partment of Forestry, Harrisburg, ac-
companied by Col. Henry W. Shoe-
‘maker, a member of the State Forest
Commission, have inspected “Eagle’s
Nest,” the imposing home-site belong-
ing to Senator Richard S. Quigley,
near McElhattan, with the result that
the professor identified fifty-three va-
rieties of trees and shrubs on the
property. Among the rarer trees dis-
covered were the osage orange, blue
beech and black gum. As the ground
was covered with snow many tracks
of wild animals and birds were noted,
including deer, wild-cats, otter, minks,
weasels, rabbits, hares, squirrels, fox-
es, wild turkeys and ruffed grouse.
It has been reported that the Senator
intends building a $100,000 stone ecas-
tle on this site early in the coming
