movement, and the most prominent
representatives and speakers will be
sent here by the different mission
boards to present to the people of this
county the program and needs of the
i foreign fields.
The church people of Centre county
should feel proud that their county
has been selected as the first rural
field on which a united effort of this
kind has been launched. The cam-
paign is purely educational, and no
one will be asked to make any special
contribution. It is an opportunity to
hear some of the leading men of the
protestant church of today right in
this community.

dressed by Dr. A. M. Sherman; the

Frank Bible; the Evangelical and

ard, and the Reformed and Lutheran

Big Benefit Baseball Game.
The regularly scheduled ball game
between Millheim and Bellefonte, on
Hughes field tomorrow (Saturday)
afternoon, at 2:30 o’clock, will be a
benefit for Samuel Weaver, one of the
players on the Bellefonte team who
recently broke his leg while playing
in one of the league games. Mr. Wea-
ver, who is mechanician at the avia-
tion field, is now in the Bellefonte hos-
pital and, of course, will be unable to
work for six weeks or two months,
and the Bellefonte Baseball associa-
tion has decided to make tomorrow’s
game a benefit for him.
This is one reason why all the fans
in town should be present on Hughes
field to see the contest, while another
reason is that the Bellefonte team
still leads the league and the players
should be given all the encouragement
possible.
Last Thursday’s game between Belle-
fonte and State College is still unde-
cided. The State team was twenty-
five minutes late in reaching Hughes
field and because of this fact the game
was stopped in the first half of the
fifth inning on account of rain. At
the time the score stood 5 to 3 in fa-
vor of Bellefonte. Not counting this
game, however, the standing of the
clubs up to yesterday morning was as
follows:
Won Lost P..C.
Bellefonte - 4 0 1,000
Millheim - - 2 2 500
Centre Hall - 1 3 250
State College - 0 2 .000
——R. B. Montgomery, who has
been working at his trade as a paint-
er and paper hanger in Philadelphia,

cate there permanently. He came to
Bellefonte last Saturday and has been
spending the week here, but will re-
turn to the Quaker city next Monday
and take his family with him, having
secured a furnished apartment at 1100
S. 52nd street.
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Anderson,
of Logan street, gave a surprise par-
ty on Monday evening for their daugh-
ter, Miss Adaline K. Anderson. A
number of guests were present and
the young people had a delightful
time.
Very few Spanish-American
war veterans from Centre county at-
tended the annual reunion held at
Huntingdon last Saturday. In fact
the absentees included Col. H. S. Tay-
lor, of Bellefonte, who has probably
not missed a meeting of the regiment
since its organization as a reunion as-
sociation.

——Readers of the “Watchman”
will miss our usually interesting Pine
Grove Mills letter this week because
of the fact that the man who wields
the pencil in that neck-o’-woods, Capt.
W. H. Fry, left on Monday night for
Greensburg to attend the annual State
encampment of the G. A. R., as a rep-
resentative of the Capt. Campbell
Post No. 272.
There is no place like home,
likewise no place like the Scenic,
Bellefonte’s well known motion pic-
ture show. Read the program of the
offers for next week and you cannot
fail to be impressed with the quality
of the pictures to be shown. Two
hours of delightful entertainment, the
best to be had from the leading film
makers. If not now a regular, get the
habit.
W. H. Frain, who for sixteen
years has been shipping clerk for
Kline Bros. store, in Altoona, has re-
signed his position, sold his home in
Juniata and on Monday moved to
Madisonburg, this county, where he
has purchased a home and also a tract
of timberland nearby, and will embark
in the lumbering business. Mr. Frain
is a son of the late Isaac Frain, for
many years a resident of little Nitta-
ny valley.
Shortly after the noon hour
last Saturday workmen for the Key-
stone Power corporation undertock to
burn the insulation off of a lot of cop-
per wire, but unfortunately piled it too
close to the rear door of the old elec-
tric light building on Lamb street,
with the result that the building
caught fire. The fire department was
called out and they quickly extin-
guished the flames with the chemical
apparatus. The damage was small.
——Twenty-nine petitions are on
file for citizenship papers for the reg-
ular term of naturalization court,
which will be held next Monday. This
does not include some five or six oth-
er petitions which were called for a
hearing at the last naturalization
court, but continued because the péti-
ioners for some reason or other failed
to appear. These petitions will ‘be
valid next Monday, if the petitioners
| appear with their proper vouchers and
witnesses.
——During the progress of a severe
rain and thunder storm which swept
over lower Bald Eagle valley last
Thursday evening lightning struck the
barn on the Nathaniel Pletcher farm,
in Howard township, setting it on fire
with the result that it was burned to
the ground. All the stock was gotten
out but quite a number of farm imple-

Mr. and Mrs. William J. Col-
lier, of Harrisburg, have announced
the engagement of their daughter,
Miss Hazel Collier, to John Gray
Glenn, of Brooklyn. The bride to be
is a graduate of the Central High
school, Harrisburg, and Goucher Col-
lege, Baltimore, having received her
degree at the latter institution on
Monday of this week. The bride-
groom elect is the second son of the
late Rev. George M. Glenn, of Centre
county. He is a graduate of Dickin-
son Seminary and Wesleyan Universi-
ty, and is an instructor in the Poly-
technic preparatory country day
school, in Brooklyn, where he has been
living with his mother.
A Tack Fiend Again at Large.
Tacks, tacks, tacks, not the kind of
tax that Governor Pinchot has been
so insistent on soaking on the already
over-burdened public but the kind
that plays the devil with automobile
tires, were in evidence by the hun-
dreds on High street, Bellefonte, yes-
terday morning. The tacks were of the
bill poster or roofing variety, five-
eighths of an inch long, and literally
covered the street from the eastern
side of High street bridge to the rail-
road. Inasmuch as the tacks were
scattered broadcast, they could not
have gotten there by accident but
were undoubtedly the work of some
vandal who sowed them on the street
with evil, intent.
A year or two ago tacks of a simi-
lar variety were scattered broadcast
at the entrance to one of the leading
Bellefonte garages, but the culprit
who did the job was never detected.
Just who the vicious individual is that
scattered the tacks on High street
may be hard to determine, as he evi-
dently did the job in the small hours
of the night when the streets were ab-
solutely deserted. But he made a
good job of it, as a number of hand-
fuls of tacks were picked up yester-
day morning. Every effort should be
made to determine how the tacks got
on the street, and if it develops that
they were thrown there with malicious
intent, and the perpetrator of the out-
rage can be discovered, he should be
dealt with according to law.
Abandoned Baby Girl found at Clay-
ton Walters Home.
Somewhere in Centre county, and
presumably within a radius of a few
miles of Bellefonte, is a woman de- | wednesday, after a two week's visit here
void of all human instincts, a woman
| who deliberately abandoned her sup-
posedly three weeks old infant to the
tender mercies of strangers, and the
child is now being cared for at the
Bellefonte hospital.
The baby girl was found in
bed at the home of Mr. Clayton
Walters, near Axe Mann, last Wed-
nesday evening, and how it got there,
and who left it, is a mystery. Miss
Walters avers that the only time dur-
ing the day that she was out of the
house was while she was milking the
cows in the evening. At that time
both the front and rear doors of the
house were open, so that it was easy
for any one to gain admittance.
On the evening in question Mrs.
Wallace White went to the Walters
home just about the time the latter
finished her evening work. The iwo
women then went out on the front
porch and sat down for a nice, neigh-
borly chat. While sitting there Mrs.
White remarked that she heard a ba-
by crying but Miss Walters scoffed at
the idea because there “wasn’t a baby
near the house.” A little later, when
Mrs. White got up to go home, she
again heard the erying of a child and
she insisted in making a search of the
house. Miss Walters secured a can-
dle and the two women went up stairs,
and searched all the bedrooms but the
spare room without success. The
door of the spare room was shut but
they opened it and looked in, and there
on the bed, lay a baby. All it had on
was a napkin, band and a little sack.
No other clothing of any kind was in
evidence.
The child was evidently hungry and
the two women prepared some milk
and fed it, then called a physician.
He examined the baby and gave it as
his opinion that the little girl was
about three weeks old, and perfectly
normal. In order to give it every
care possible the physician took it to
the Bellefonte hospital, where the |
child is getting along all right. Up to
this writing not the least clue has
been obtained as to the babe’s parent-
age or how it was smuggled into the
Walter’s home.
Over a Thousand Kiddies Attend
Annual Picnic.
Over a thousand kiddies were guests
of their big brothers, members of the.
Bellefonte Lodge of Elks, at the sec-
ond annual kiddies day at Hecla park
yesterday. When the registration
closed on Monday evening just 956 |
children had their names on the roll
at the Elks home, but the gathering
was not confined to that number, as
every child who reported at the Elks
yesterday morning was taken, and
while no official count was made it is
estimated that the crowd numbered
more than a thousand. In fact the
Elks had secured 900 caps for the oc-

girls.
The beautiful, sunshiny morning
brought the children out bright and
early, in fact some of them were on
hand before seven o'clock, although
the hour for starting to the park was
8:30. Seven of the big busses of the
Emerick Motor company had been
commandeered to carry the children to
the park, and a large number of pri-
vately-owned cars were used, but it
in order to safely convey all the
youngsters to the park. Once there
bedlam broke loose. ~ A large number
of Elks went down as guardians of
the elder of the children while the
services of a dozen or more women
were secured to look after the smaller
tots. The Odd Fellows band enliven-
ed the gathering with a very gener-
ous supply of music. The Elks pre-

——Two weeks ago the “Watch-
man” published an item relative to the
burning of an Overland car on the
highway at Rock Springs, in which it
was stated that the car had been
“gone over” in the Rossman garage
only a few minutes previous and turn-
ed out as all right. We have since
learned that the car, which was a
Studebaker and not an Overland, had
not been inside the Rossman garage
and had not been gone over at all. The
driver did stop outside the garage and
get two quarts of oil, but nothing
more. This explanation is made be-
cause of the fact that it is not the
wish of the editor to have any item
construed in a way that might reflect
on any man or the business ir which
he is engaged, and we have every rea-
son to believe that Mr. Rossman and
his assistants are capable and enter-
prising workmen who, when turning
a car out as all right, know that it is
right.
The Lauderbach-Zerby compa-
ny is putting a concrete floor in its
