The National Agricultural Lime-
stone association convened at State
College yesterday for a two day’s ses-
sion. The association includes man-

izer experiments and to the shale ex-
periment land at Snow Shoe will be

The next tournament of the
Susquehanna trapshooters league will
be held at Williamsport, on Wednes-
day, June 27th. The championship of
the league was won by the State Col-
lege team in 1915 and 1916, but since
that time Centre county devotees of
the traps and clay pigeons have not
been so conspicuous at these tourna-
ments.
During a brief call at this office
on Tuesday evening Emanuel Klepfer
informed us that his son Alfred has
sold his green house at Eureka, Bucks
county, and purchased a very much
larger plant at Olney, near Philadel-
phia. Mr. Klepfer, who has been in
Bellefonte since early spring, expects
to return to Philadelphia in the near
future.
The Horseshoe Trail associa-
tion will hold a two day’s meeting at
State College on Thursday and Friday
of next week. Representatives are
expected present from all the import-
ant towns along the route between
Williamsport and Cumberland, Md.,
‘while men prominent in state highway
work will be in attendance and assist
in boosting the horseshoe trail.
Summer is here and hot weath-
@r can be expected, but the big fans
in the Scenic will keep that popular
place of amusement cool and com-
fortable at all times. In fact motion
picture fans and amusement lovers
generally cannot find a better place
to spend an evening than at the Scen-
ic watching the big motion pictures,
the best to be seen in any moving pic-
ture show.
During the severe thunder
‘storm on Tuesday afternoon lightning
struck the house of John Mignot, on
east High street, and while no fire re-
sulted the upper corner of the porch
was splintered, electric light wires
torn loose and the bolt evidently fol-
lowed the wires into the sewing room
‘where they were torn from the wall.
Mrs. Mignot had been in the room but
Just stepped out as the house was
struck, and thus escaped injury from
the shock.
Harry E. Garbrick and A.
Lloyd Stover, of Coleville, with their
~attorney, Arthur C. Dale Esq., were
over in Clearfield last Friday attend-
ing a meeting of the Public Service
‘Commission in connection with the
new Coleville Water company. The
new water line connecting Cole-
wilie with the Bellefonte service from
the big spring will soon be completed
and the Coleville company had to have
their plans approved by the Public
Service Commission.
E Work on the new power line
from the Penn Central plant at Hunt-
‘ingdon has been completed as far as
‘Centre Furnace. The line will come
‘to Bellefonte by way of Houserville
«and Spring creek. A big transformer
station is now being built in Bush’s
Addition where the new line will con-
nect with the Keystone Power corpor-
ation system. At this station will be
located two immense transformers,
some idea of the size of which can be
gained from the fact that they will be
too ‘big for any truck to haul and a
tram road will be laid from the rail-
road to the station on which to move
the transformers.
Eight Prisoners Make Their Escape
from Penitentiary.
Four hundred dollars in standing re-
wards are open to any men or women
who will be instrumental in the cap-
ture of eight prisoners who escaped
from the Rockview penitentiary the
past week, two of the number disap-
pearing on Sunday evening and six |
others escaping from the big dining
room dormitory at an early hour on
Tuesday morning after they had saw-
ed through two of the heavy iron bars
on one of the windows.
The two men who escaped on Sun-
day evening are Ed. Tiddell, of Cam-
bria county, serving a term of from
three to five years, and F. L. Carson,
of Fayette county, sent up for a term
of from 2 to 8 years. The two men
were among the crowd of inmates on
the ball field on Sunday afternoon and
were known to have returned as far
as the dormitory. But they evidently
did not go inside and no trace of how
they made their get-away has been
discovered.
The six men who escaped from the
dormitory on Tuesday morning after
sawing two bars on a window are
Thomas Provance, of Clinton county,
undergoing a sentence of from 3 to 6
years; Clair Jamison, of Lawrence
county, up for from three years and
a half to four years; Robert Hill, of
Jefferson county, whose sentence was
from three to four years; Arthur
Price of Philadelphia, whose time was
three to five years; Herman Eagler, of
Clearfield county, who was serving a
sentence of from four to twelve years,
and Jesse Neff, sent up from Alleghe-
ny county, for from four to five years.
According to reports Neff was orig-
inally from Bald Eagle valley, Centre
county, and it is just possible he may
attempt to hide out in that section.
The six men were traced from the dor-
mitory down to Spring creek but there
all trace of them was lost. The fact
that they probably got away between
one and two o’clock in the morning,
and their absence was not discovered
for some time gave them an opportu-
nity to get start enough on the guards
to get to the Barrens or mountains
where they probably went into hiding.
Just how the men got the saw which
they used to cut their way to liberty
has not been determined. No all-
night guard is kept in the dormitory,
but regular visits are made there at
stated intervals and everything was
quiet and orderly in the big building
whenever the guard appeared. But
it is very evident that as soon as he
left the room the six men took turns
at sawing the iron bars until they
succeeded in cutting two of them and
making a hole big enough to squeeze
through.
Since the settlement of the mutin-
ous trouble among. the prisoners three
weeks ago everything has been very
orderly at the penitentiary, all the. in-
mates seeming resigned and as much
contented as a man could be who is
under durance.
Since the above article has been put
in type it has been learned that a
Ford car belonging to Mr. Charles
Bressler, of near Lemont, was stolen
some time on Monday night or Tues-
day morning, .and the supposition is
that the escaped prisoners took the
machine. This belief is strengthened
by the fact that some time on Tues-
day some five or six men in a Ford
stopped at a small town near Harris-
burg to get gas for their car, and it
is just possible that they were the es-
caped prisoners who were heading
out of this section of the State as fast
as the Ford would take them.
Benefit Game Yields About $100 for
Player Weaver.
Last Saturday’s ball game between
Bellefonte and Millheim was won by
the local team by the score of 9 to 7.
The visitors took the lead and man-
aged to pile up six runs before Belle-
fonte was able to tally, but when the
locals struck their stride they won
out. A fair crowd was present and it
is estimated that the receipts were
sufficient to net a benefit of about
$100 for Samuel Weaver, the player
injured in a previous game.
Bellefonte lost its first game of the
season at State College last Thursday
evening by the score of 4 to 2. Cen-
tre Hall won from Millheim last
Thursday and lost to State College on
Saturday. Tomorrow afternoon Belle-
fonte will play State College on
Hughes field. The standing of the
clubs to date is as follows:
Won Lost P. €.
Bellefonte - 5 1 833
State College 2 2 500
Millheim - 2 4 333

A Possible Serious Wreck Averted.
From the Pennsylvania News of
last Saturday we learn of how the ‘ob-
servation and quick action of Rex
Patton, signal maintainer, probably
saved his company thousands of dol-
lars. While engaged in his work near
Martha, he found a piece of flange ten
inches long that had evidently just
been broken off a car wheel. He at
once got busy on the telephone, and
the car was located in the train of Ex-
tra 279 East, at Unionville, about
eight miles from the spot where the
broken piece had been picked up.
This train had seventy-one cars and
the broken wheel was on the fifty-sixth
car from the engine. Conductor H. B.
Gartner, in speaking of Patton’s quick
headwork, was enthusiastic, saying:
“Had we gotten much further this
certainly would have caused a disas-
trous wreck.”
— Clayton Watson, of Snow Shoe,
in jail at Lock Haven on the charge
of stealing an automobile, escaped on
Tuesday night by tunneling through
the wall of the jail.
— Mrs. John Nolan, of Tyrone, is , Centre County W. C. T. U. Doing |
recovering nicely after an operation
she underwent in the Philipsburg hos-
pital recently. Mrs. Nolan, it will be
recalled, is a daughter of Thomas
|
Shaughnessy, of this place, and mov-
“ed from here to Tyrone some years
“ago when her husband was made an
. engineer on the P. R. R.
or
A Vitagraph motion picture
operator was a passenger in an extra
government mail plane which trailed
the regular plane west on Monday
i morning, and also stopped in Belle-
fonte for oil and gas. Pictures were
taken ‘during the trip which will be
used in a new feature film being pro-
duced by the Vitagraph people enti-
tled “Loyal Lives,” in which the air-
mail and airplane pictures will figure
to a considerable extent. ’
Tuesday evening next is the
time for the big Boy Scout festival in
front of the High school building, and
the public is asked to be good to itself
and be on hand. The Odd Fellows
band will play; there will be dancing
on the pavement specially prepared
for the occasion, and -a side-show
which is bound to make a hit. Ice
cream, cakes, soft drinks will be for
sale. The proceeds will help finance
the Scout camp July 23rd to August
4th.
Bellefonte will have another
show on Saturday, June 30th. It will
not be as big as the Ringling Bros.
but what there is of it is said to be
very good. Advance men with the
bill car on Monday stated that the
children at the Pruner orphanage will
be taken to the show as guests of the
management during the afternoon
performance. Such kind thoughtfui-
ness on the part of those in charge of
the Gentry Bros. famous shows and
James Patterson’s four-ring trained
wild animal circus is evidence that
their heart is in the right place and
inspires confidence in the quality of
their show. They will come to Belle-
fonte from Tyrone and pitch their
tents on the old fair grounds, giving
a street parade at eleven o’clock in
the morning.
——For some time past a cat has
been killing the little chickens of a
well known resident of east Linn
street and on Saturday evening, see-
ing the strange feline prowling around
in the neighborhood of the hen house.
the chicken fancier decided to get rid
of her for good. Securing his trusty
shot-gun he very quietly proceeded to
investigate but the cat saw him and
ran. It was traced to the home of
Burns Crider and that gentleman nat-
urally went out to help in the hunt.
Finally a dark object was espied in
the grass and weeds and Mr. Crider
pointed to it as the cat. The man
took deliberate aim and fired, but
when he went to pick up the cat he
discovered the “dark object” to be
Mr. Crider’s watering bucket which
was nicely punctured full of holes.
The cat was later discovered sitting on
the fence a safe distance away.
——At the annual meeting of the
Eclectic Medical association, of Penn-
sylvania, held in Johnstown last Fri-
day, Dr. Nannie M. Glenn, of State
College, was elected treasurer and Dr.
W. S. Glenn, also of State College,
state organizer of the association.
From Johnstown the Glenn party pro-
ceeded to Pittsburgh on their way to
Milwaukee, Wis., to attend the na-
tional convention held there this week
but when they arrived in the Smoky
city their car was not working right
and they took it to a garage to have
it looked over. A mechanic took it
out to test it and tore off one door and
otherwise damaged the machine so
that it was impossible to continue the
trip by motor. Drs. W. S. and Nannie
M. Glenn and Dr. R. H. Meek and
wife went to Milwaukee by train while
Dr. M. A. Kirk, who was a driving
guest of the Glenns, returned home.
Logan Firemen Will Picnic at Hecla
Park July 4th.
In accordance with their long estab
lished custom members of the Logan
Fire company will hold their annual
picnic at Hecla park on Wednesday,
July 4th, and are making arrange-
ments to handle the usually large
crowd. The Odd Fellows band will be
on the ground all day and give a num-
ber of concerts. The Louis Hill or-
chestra has been engaged to play for
the dancing, afternoon and evening,
and among the other attractions there
will be two games of baseball, both
Centre county league games. One of
the games will be played in the morn-
ing and one in the afternoon, so that
to see both games lovers of the sport
should go to the park early in the day.
Ample preparations will be made to
serve lunch to everybody, with plenty
of ice cream, lemonade, ete. The fire-
men deserve your patronage so ar-
range to spend the day with them at
Hecla park.
The Logans have purchased a squad
wagon and hope to realize sufficient
funds from the picnic to pay for it.
The squad wagon will enable them to
more expeditiously continue their effi-
cient work in fighting fires and their
picnic, having as its primary object
the raising of funds to complete the
purchase of the wagon, deserves the
whole hearted support of the citizens
of the surrounding country. However,
this is not the only reason that there
should be a large attendance at Hec-
doing all day for every one and it will
make a delightful way to celebrate In-
dependance day.
A grand street parade will take
place on Tuesday.evening, July third.
Full programs will be distributed next
week.
la park July 4th, for there will be lots!
Good Work.
m
Mrs. Maude T. Seymour, state or-'
ganizer of the W. C. T. U., last week
concluded a most successful speaking
and organizing tour in Centre county.
The results show an increase through
her efforts of almost 150 new mem-
bers and seven new Unions. The in-
terest shown throughout the various
sections of the county is very grati-
fying.
Mrs. Seymour spoke at the last.
meeting of the W. C. T. U. held at the
home of Miss Rebecca Rhoads and all
present were especially pleased with
her timely suggestions and advice,
which will be of real benefit in the fu-
ture. She also was present and spoke
at the W. C. T. U. county executive
meeting, which was very well attend-
ed and most interesting.
The Bellefonte Union continues the
maintenance of the W. C. T. U. room !
at the hospital. It also observed
Flower Mission day, as is done each
year by the superintendent, Miss No-
ra Stover receiving donations of fresh
flowers and presenting them in beau-
tiful bouquets to each patient in the
hospital. This Union also keeps up
with much additional work. Recently
almost 100 sunshine bags were sent
to the tuberculosis patients in the
hosiptal at Pittsburgh for the ex-
service men of the recent war. These
bags were received with great appre-
ciation and much enjoyed by the pa-
tients. The Bellefonte Union has now
on hand a very beautiful afghan, |
made by the Bellefonte Chapter of the |
D. A. R,, and given to the W. C. T. U.
to be presented to a hospital where the |
war veterans are patients. Other af- |
ghans are being made throughout the
county by the various Unions, Belle-
fonte as well.
Mrs. Sylvia Bemis, of Erie, State
superintendent of soldiers and sailors
department of the nationl W. C. T. U., |
was a guest of Miss Rhoads last week.
Mrs. Bemis was the winner of the na-
tional prize for best work done last
year in her department, California
and Massachusetts being very close
seconds. The soldiers and sailors de-
partment of the National W. C. T. U,,
of which Miss Rebecca Rhoads, of
Bellefonte, is the national superin-
tendent, has been of such benefit to
the government in its welfare work
that Colonel Axton, chief of chaplains
of the U. S. army, has written Miss
Rhoads for a report of the good work
done to be included in his annual re-
port. Just one or two items will suf-
fice to show in a very small degree
the amount of work accomplished by
the W. C. T. U. in this one department
alone, and to prove that it has many
other channels of interest besides
merely that relating to prohibition
and its enforcement.
These items taken from the bien-
nial report given at the world’s con-
vention last fall are:
90,433 magazines and books, 13,307
comfort and sunshine bags, 42,557
cookies, 11,662 postcards, 5,920 testa-
ments, bibles, gospels, over 43 tons of
candy, 202 musical instruments, ath-
letic equipment, radio outfit, etc., be-
ing given. More than $16,247 was
spent besides the $4,000 war fund res-
idue given the American Legion by
the national W. C. T. U. for the dis-
abled world war veterans.
Junior Farmers Organize,
Students in vocational agriculture
and club work of Centre county held
the organization meeting of the junior
farmers association at State College
last Thursday. About forty boys and
girls were present and from the en-
thusiasm shown the organization
promises to be one of the big factors
in agricultural development in the
county in the next few years.
The meeting was organized and
called to order by J. B. Payne, coun-
ty vocational supervisor, and J. N.
Robinson, county agent. The follow-
ing officers were immediately elected
for the year:
President, Russell W. Bohn, Boals-
burg, R. D.
Vice-president, J. F. Markle, Pine
Hall:
Secretary, Miss Faye Bohn, Boals-
burg, R. D.
Treasurer,
Grove Mills.
Brief talks were given by J. N. Rob-
inson, F. B. Bennett, supervisor of ag-
riculture, of Spring Mills, and A. L.
Baker, state club leader. The newly
elected officers were called upon for
brief speeches. President Bohn urged
every member to be present at the
Grang encampment, at which time the
association will have their first real |
get-together. They will have their
first camping trip at the fair for the
entire week. According to plans they
expect to have 4 full program of
sports, social and business meeting
and many other attractions. Presi-
dent Bohn stated that an effort will
be made to have a 100 per cent. at-
tendance of junior farmers at the
camp during the week.
Killed on the Railroad.
While walking on the tracks of the
N.Y. Central R. R., near Cato, on Mon-
day morning, Larry E. McCloskey, a
Snow Shoe miner, was struck by an
engine running light and instantly
killed. He was twenty-seven years
oid and is survived by a widow and
several small children; also his parents
and a number of brothers and sisters.
Burial was made at Snow Shoe on
Wednesday.

fonte in large numbers but so far
there is no evidence of any destruc-
tion being caused by them. In fact
some Bellefonters are rather glad they
have arrived as they are gathering
