food sale on Saturday, May 12th. De-
licicus cakes and candies.
— The rummage sale held at the
Undine fire company building, on
Tuesday, yielded over three hundred
dollars as a benefit for the Bellefonte
hospital.
A chimney fire at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. William Crawford, at
Coleville, on Monday afternoon, called
out the Logan pumper, but fortunate-
ly its services were not required.
——Wilbur E. Burkholder, formerly
in the Pennsylvania railroad passen-
ger station in this place and now the
agent in Philipsburg, is spending two
weeks in Florida and Cuba. Mrs.
Burkholder accompanied him on the
trip. :
—One-half of the net proceeds of
“Springtime,” to be given in the op-
era house next Wednesday and Thurs-
day evenings under the auspices of the
Campfire girls, will be given to the Y.
M. C. A. This is another reason why
you should patronize the play.
The stately elm that has stood
at the corner of the Diamond for so
many years was felled on Tuesday to
make way for the next unit of the
Heverly block that will be begun just
as soon as the wreckage can be re-
moved from the site of the old Curtin
house.
Ralph M. Musser, who is the
county agricultural agent of the
Greenbrier county farm bureau at
Lewisburg, West Virginia, writes that
the “Watchman” is like a breath from
home and while it doesn’t reach him
until Monday it is far better late than
never.
The Bucknell College freshmen
will cross bats with the Bellefonte
Academy nine on Hughes field tomor-
row (Saturday) afternoon. Bellefonte
fans are urged to go out to the field
and give the Academy players the ad-
vantage of their moral as well as
financial support. Game will be called
at 2:30 o’clock. !
—Miss Jane McCalmont’s condition,
which has been regarded as critical
during her ten day’s illness with pneu-
monia, is slightly improved, giving her
a chance for recovery; while no im-
provement is noted in Mr. Heisler, his
illness dating back seven weeks, has |
been considered very serious during
that entire tine.

weekly organ recital: “Song Without
Words,” by Mendelssohn; fantasies on
a theme from “Martha,” by George A.
Johnston, and paraphrase on “Pre-
lude in C Sharp Minor,” by Rachman-
inoff. Visitors are welcome.
The Walter L. Main show,
which will exhibit in Bellefonte next
Monday and the fact that it will come
over the mountain from Philipsburg
may make it a little late getting into
Bellefonte on Sunday morning. Of
course the show will have their own
help to get unloaded, so it will not be !
necessary for any Bellefonters to stay
away from church just to see that they
get unloaded properly.
Mrs. Mildred Scott Olmstead,
executive secretary of the Pennsylva-
nia branch of the Wemen’s Interna-
tional League for Peace and Freedom,

“Springtime,” the musical mel-
ody which will be staged at the opera
house next Wednesday and Thursday
evenings by the John B. Rogers Pro-
ducing company, under the auspices of
the Campfire girls of Bellefonte, will
be an entertainment worth seeing. The
best local talent of the town will be in
the cast while the chorus is unusually
large and clever. The Campfire girls
are now engaged in selling tickets for
their play which can be exchanged for
reserved seats when the chart is
opened.
On Sunday Thomas Lamb, as-
sistant baggage master at the Penn-
sylvania railroad depot, went down to
the company’s heating plant to look
after the fire under the boiler. He |
opened the furnace door and with a
long poker undertook to break up the
mass of coked coal in the fire box,
when there was an explosion of gas
and the flames shot out of the firebox
with terrific force. Mr. Lamb was
painfully burned on the hands and
face but fortunately his clothing did
not catch fire and he was able to make
his way out of the building. A phy-
sician dressed his burns and he is now
getting along all right.
——John C. Bair, of Philadelphia,
but formerly of Bellefonte, is now a
clerk in the Bellefonte postoffice to fill
up the gap created several weeks ago
by the resignation of G. Norman Good.
Mr. Bair arrived in Bellefonte on
Tuesday morning and went to work
just as soon as he reached the post-
office, and a rather remarkable coin-
cidence is the fact that just forty-one
years previous to the very day, or on
May 1st, 1882, he arrived in Belle-
fonte for the first time. He was one
of the original carriers when free de-
livery was inaugurated at the Belle-
fonte postoffice but eight years ago
last January was transferred to the
West Philadelphia office, where he has
been located until his transfer to
Bellefonte this week.
GAMBLE MILL PROPERTY SOLD.
— |
{ Experienced Flour Millers, of Middle-
burg, the Purchasers.
One of the biggest real estate deals
in Bellefonte in several years was the
sale last week of the Gamble mill and
all the contiguous property to J. K.
Ulsh and A. G. Bashoar, of Middleburg,
Snyder county, who, when they take
charge the first of July will operate it
under the firm name of Ulsh & Ba-
shoar. ‘
| The sale includes the mill, and all
"the land from the line of the J. H. and
|C. K. Eagle silk mill property down
, to the point below the mill, including
i the siding now used by Harry Winton
{in his coal business; the house across
the railroad occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Hartranft as well as the vacant
ground between the Hartranft house
and Lamb street; the island out near
the big spring as well as the dam and
water right. The exact consideration
has not been made public, though
several years ago Mr. Gamble asked
$80,000 for the property. That, how-
ever, was before the erection of the
new mill of C. Y. Wagner and it is
just possible that the price now paid
is less than the above figure.
Messrs. Ulsh and Bashoar are both
I practical and experienced millers and
{had been in business in Middleburg a
| number of years but recently dispos-
ied of their property in that place. As
stated above, they will get possession
ron July first when Mr. Ulsh will come
to Bellefonte and take charge of the
{mill, .Mr. Bashoar to come to Belle-
fonte later. It is understood that the
new firm will retain Mr. Hartranft as
head miller.

Maybe We Need It.
If anybody has read between the
lines of the “Watchman” lately and
lial force is harboring lazy livers we'd
like to know of it.
We have been laboring under the
impression that the old sheet has been
unusually bright of late. Certainly
'no one here is seeing spots or playing
ithe role of joy killers. So we can’t
| understand the meaning of a great
sack of dandelion that was left in this
, office on Wednesday. Tied to it was
an anonymous note stating that the
sender has not “seen anything in the
‘paper this spring about the good old
{liver scraper, so he just thought he’d
‘send us some.”
Prior to 1918 we just loved dande-
lion when scalded with bits of bacon
‘and a dash of vinegar. Now we just
‘haven’t the heart to eat it. When we
think of the glory of the lovely yellow
"blossoms that all of the plants in this |
bag woud have sprinkled o’er the hill-
sides, and the bees that have been
robbed of the honey they would have
sipped from their yellow cups and
when—when we try to figure out how
many gallons of something else these
blossoms might have made for some
one we sink to the depths of regret.
We have suspicion that it was Abe
Markle, of State College, who sent it.

Are You One of Them?
In writing to get himself into
the 1923 class of “Watchman”
readers M. Dannley, of Seville,
Ohio, says: “Here’s hoping that
every last sinner like I have been
who is not in will get there at
once.”
Really Mr. Dannley has helped
us out a lot. We never were very
long on calling names so didn’t
have just the right word at com-
mand to use in previous importun-
ings to you to pay up. He has
furnished it. © You; who are not
paid up to the middle of 1923, are
sinners. That’s what you are.
And you're compounding your
sins by making us a bigger one
than we would be naturally if we
didn’t have to stave our creditors
off until you come in.
Look at your label and decide
for yourself whether you are what
Mr. Dannley called himself and
everbody else who is not in the
1923 class.
——According to an announcement
imade early this week the Postoffice
Department is perfecting plans to in-
Francisco. The attempt is to be made
during the latter part of July or be-
schedule provides for night-flying
from Chicago to Cheyenne, Wyoming.
——Saturday’s hard rain came at an
eners; and also assisted materially in
extinguishing the mountain fires
which had been raging in various sec-
tions of the State for a week or more.
While the weather became somewhat
chilly after the rain it fortunately did
not become cold enough to do any
damage to blossoming fruit trees or
growing vegetation.
——The minstrel dance will be the
big social feature of the Bellefonte
Academy minstrels this year, which
will be held on Thursday and Friday
evenings, May 17th and 18th. The
dance will be held on the night of the
18th, from 11 to 38 o'clock. As it
looks now some very clever dancing
and catchy songs will feature the
minstrels. A number of clever spe-
cialists will take part and the entire
program gives promise of being one
of the best ever rendered. Get your
tickets early and be sure of a gocd
seat.
——Friday and Saturday, May 4th
and 5th, we will place on sale men’s
shirts, $1.25 and $1.50 grade at $1.15.

; Nearly Ninety-five and Still Reading
| the “Watchman.”
|
Almost we feel like the “Watch-
‘man” has discovered its Godmother.
When it was only six years old, a
‘scrawny, struggling child in the field
of journalism, Mrs. Susan Spangler,
,of Centre Hall, took it into her home
land during the sixty-two years that
have elapsed she has been its constant
reader. She is now in her ninety-fifth
year and has written us a note in her
own hand that rather shames our own
miserable chirography.
Hers is the hope and courage that
many of us might well emulate, for
| she has paid for two years in advance
“for the best paper ever published,”
as she flatteringly describes the
“Watchman.” Think of it! Before
we get out of dear old Mrs. Spangler’s
debt she will be ninety-seven and the
“Watchman” will be seventy. Surely
we hope that the friendly tie that has
held us through more than three score
years will not be broken for a long,
long time to come.
Rev. Ard to Remain in Bellefonte.
At the regular church services on
Sunday evening Rev. Wilson P. Ard
announced to the congregation of the
Lutheran church that he had decided
to reject the call extended him some
time ago by the Lutheran congrega-
tion of Norfolk, Va., and will remain
in Bellefonte and continue his work
as pastor of the Bellefonte church.
The congregation recently voted to
increase their pastor’s salary two hun-
dred dollars a year, or to two thous-
and dollars, in the event of his deci-
sion to remain in Bellefonte. This is
| the fourth increase in salary granted
since Rev. Ard became pastor of the
church a number of years ago, and is
evidence of the love and esteem in
which he is held. Rev. Ard has many
friends outside his congregation who
will be glad to know that he will re-
main in Bellefonte.
Penn State Lowers World's Record.

The Passing of Gregg Post.
It is fifty-eight years since the
close of the Civil war and naturally
the men who fought in that memora-
ble struggle are not only becoming
fewer every year but those who still
survive are naturally bowed down with
the weight of passing years. Gregg
Post, No. 95, G. A. R., at one time a
flourishing order in Bellefonte, with a
large membership, is now a meie
skeleton of the organization it was a
quarter of a century ago. In fact the
‘membership has been reduced to a
very few; so few, that they make no
pretense of continuing as a regularly
organized body, though they do hold
meetings in the grand jury room in
the court house. A year or more ago
they surrendered their handsomely
furnished rooms in the Potter-Hoy
building to the Bellefonte Camp P. O.
'S. of A., and now they have sold all
the furnishings of the rooms to the
same organization for the sum of $340,
and the money has been turned over
“to the Bellefonte cemetery association
| for the perpetual care of the G. A. R.
{lot in the Union cemetery. Thus
| what will probably be one of the last
{ official acts of the few survivors cf
i this well known G. A. R. association
ihas been making provision that the
{graves of their comrades be kept
green forever and a day.
Bootleg Liquor Blamed for Man’s
Death.
Wilbur Davis, a resident of Coal
Run, near Houtzdale, died on Tues-
,day of last week and his brother, Aus-
tin Davis, states that his illness start-
{ed with drinking bootleg whiskey pur-
chased of Ray Askey, at Philipsburg,
‘the Saturday night previous. Clear-
field county authorities are investigat-
ing the manner and cause of Davis’
!death and if they are satisfied it was
the result of drinking bootleg whiskey
will likely demand Askey’s arrest and
| trial. Inasmuch as the whiskey was
purchased in Philipsburg it is the
opinion of the district attorney of
Clearfield county that Askey’s punish-
ment will be up to Centre county.
Should such prove to be so it will be
the first case of the kind brought in
{ the Centre county courts.

has resigned as regular pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, at Prince-
ton, N. J., but out of consideration for
the eighteen years of faithful service
rendered the congregation unanimous-
ly elected him pastor emeritus at a
salary of $2,500 a year. Dr. Beach
has passed his seventieth anniversary
and this was his excuse for resigning.
Almot fifty years ago he spent a year
in Bellefonte while an instructor at
the Bellefonte Academy, and the
friendships formed at that time have
endured to the present, made more in-
timate by the fact that he later mar-
ried Miss Nellie Orbison, a daughter
of the late Mrs. N. J. Orbison, of this
place. Dr. Beach took charge as pas-
tor of the First church, Princeton, on

dent, Harry C. Keightly, of Williams-

One of the Tyrone Fishermen Said to
be in Trouble.
It has been reported that one of the
Tyrone fishermen who made such a
haul in the Bush house dam, here, on
the opening day of the season, was
fishing with a borrowed license.
The story is to the effect that the
donor of one of the prizes offered for
large catches in Tyrone has demanded
the prize back and threatens to prose-
cute the offender for violating the
fishing laws.
We can’t vouch for the accuracy of
this story but it was told by a gentle-
man from Tyrone who was in Belle-
fonte on Tuesday.

well acquainted with it.

ing of the year, the time for the an-
nual election of officers, will be Friday
evening, May 11th, at eight o’clock, in
the parish house of the Episcopal
church. With the election of officers
and the transaction of such other bus-
ness as may be brought before the
meeting there will also be a musical
program. All members are urgently
requested to be present.
Every day has its cares and
worries for the average man and
woman but why not lay them aside
when evening comes and go to the
Scenic. The interesting motion pic-
tures shown there will help you to
forget the vexations of the day and
you will feel all the better for the
next day’s work. Every evening has
its own big program and every pic-
ture is worth seeing. No repeats or
old pictures are shown at this popu-
lar motion picture show.
——August Glinz, who spent the
past year traveling in Germany and
visiting the scenes of his childhood in
the “Faderland,” was an arrival in
Bellefonte on Tuesday evening, com-
ing here from New York city where he
landed several weeks ago. During his
absence Henry Kline was in charge of
the Garman house but he will now
move into his own home on Bishop
street and Mr. Glinz will resume
charge of the hotel.
The beauty of the bloom on the
magnolia trees in the yards of James
H. Potter and Sim Baum are attract-
ing much attention at present. Could
all property owners in the town fore-
see the attractiveness of both orna-
mental and shade trees there would be
no concern as to a treeless Bellefonte;
a condition that will be facing us not
many years hence.
