The board of directors of the Amer- ican Lime and Stone company met in the general offices of the company, in this place on Tuesday. The board is composed of Hon. A. G. Morris, chairman, C. A. Morris and Irving Warner, of Bellefonte; J. King McLanahan Jr., of Hollidaysburg; Messrs. Steele, Montgomery; Parsley and Dahll, of Philadelphia, and Chas. Warner, Alfred Warner and C. C. Bye, of Wilmington. The Philadelphia members arrived by motor from Lock Haven and after breakfast at the Bush house an inspec- tion trip was made over the various operations of the company including the mine, which is progressing rapid- ly. At the meeting later the only busi- ness of interest to the community that was transacted was the appointment of Mr. W. R. Phillips as general man- ager to succeed Mr. Irving Warner, resigned. Mr. Phillips was formerly general manager of the National Lime Co., with headquarters in Washington, D. C., and in this position has gained a keen insight into the problems af- fecting the lime industry. After adjournment the board motor- ed to the Spruce Creek Rod and Gun club for luncheon and then journeyed on to inspect the company’s large crushed stone operation at Union Fur- nace. Mr. Irving Warner and his family will not remove from Bellefonte until about October 1st. His resignation does not mean that he has severed all connection with the American, for he still remains as one of the directors and vice president of the company and will devote his time to the engineering and production matters of the indus- fry. There will be general regret, in both social and business circles, at the de- parture of the Warner family from Bellefonte. Though their residence here has been one of only a year they have so enthusiastically and helpfully entered into all of the community ac- tivities that, in a manner of speaking, they never were “strangers in town” and always will be most pleasantly re- membered. my pri Fighting on a Motor Bus. J. J. Johnson, of Philadelphia, one of the men who came here with the Tarvia tank road oiler, is being held for a hearing before a Lock Ha- ven justice for disturbing the peace by fighting on one of the Emerick mo- tor busses on Monday night, while of- ficers are looking for R. V. Donnelly, his companion, who made good his es- cape. The two men, alleged to have been intoxicated, got on the evening bus at Lock Haven to come to Belle- fonte. Quite a number of young wom- en were on the bus and the two men started in to making indecent remarks to the women. Glenn A. Miller, .a pas- senger on the car, intervened and the men at once proceeded to pick a fight with him. The driver of the bus, Charles Saxion, then took a hand and a free for all fight ensued before the men were finally ejected from the bus. When Mr. Saxion brought his bus to Bellefonte he promptly swore out war- rants for the arrest of the two offend- ers. mr — A ————— Louis Daggett to Take Over Proprietorship of Bush House.

Willard—Badger.—While such a happy event had been looked for the marriage of Robert Thompson Willard and Eleanor Ruthe Badger, which took place in the Reformed church Wed-' nesday morning at eight o’clock, came as a surprise to their many friends. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Ambrose Schmidt in the pres- ence of only the members of the fami- lies of the happy young couple. Gil- bert Nolan and Anna Badger, a sister of the bride, were their attendants. Immediately after the ceremony, or, rather, as soon as they could get away from a party of daylight cali- thumpians, they departed for a motor trip which will cover most of the State since they intend visiting both Phila- delphia and Pittsburgh. Upon their return they will occupy apartments in the home of Mr. Willard’s mother on north Thomas street. The groom is a son of the late D. I. Willard and is now successfully car- rying on the clothing and haberdash- ery store founded by his father.

While in town on Wednesday Will Carson, who farms Harter Bros. “Val- ley View” farm below Coburn, told us that deer are seen in that section every day by farmers whose fields run up to the edge of the mountain. One morning last week there were eight in his ensilage corn at one time and among them a pure white doe with a fawn at her side. Over in High valley it is reported that they are running over the farms like sheep. In one flock, that was seen on the Snyder Bros. farm, there were twenty-two. ———— Ap ————————— Mr. and Mrs. George Kelly, of north Spring street, entertained a children’s party, Wednesday afternoon, to celebrate the fourth anniversary of Jr. His neighborhood playmates and others to the number of fourteen were entertained with games, * entrancing favors for little folks and refresh- ments so lavish that all of them de- parted with the hope that George's least. te Rev.

The open season for trout came to an end on Tuesday and while the usual number of piscatorialists are now ex- pressing their disappointment over the luck which attended their efforts to land the wily trout, others seem perfectly satisfied with results. No extraordinarly large catches were made on any of the streams in Centre county during the season, but the ex- pert fisherman seemed to be able to go out most any day to some favorite stream and bring home a mess. In fact, he was always content with a “mess,” making no effort to catch more. Naturally some good fish stories are coming to light as the result of the season’s sport but one of the best has reference to a man using cherry stones as bait. He was discovered one day last week sitting on the banks of Fishing creek, smoking his pipe and with a look of peace and utter content upon his face. “How’s the luck,” asked a Belle- fonte fisherman. “Oh, I'm not catching any, but I’ve had more fun today than I ever had,” the stranger replied. He then exhibited his line and showed that he was using a cherry stone as bait. He said that he had all manner of flies but couldn’t entice the trout to jump at any of them, but they would take the cherry stone as soon as it hit the water. He then ex- plained by stating that on a trip to Roaring Spring, in Blair county, he had seen some boys throw cherries to the three trout in the spring. The trout would not take the cherries but one hoy was eating the cherries and throwing the seeds into the water and the trout took every one. This gave him an idea and he got a dozen or more seeds, drilled holes through them and used a silk thread for tying them to his hook. To dem- onstrate the efficiency of the cherry seed as bait he made several casts and every time the seed was taken by a trout but the fish would disgorge it before it could be hooked, and the man declared that he had thoroughly en- joyed the sport of trying to catch trout with a cherry seed, even if he didn’t land one.

English, of Pitts- burgh, was elected chairman of the new board of directors of the western penitentiary at its organization meet- ing last week. The board held its first regular meeting on Monday and the officials and employees at Rockview will soon get their first pay in two months. The exact date for resump- tion of work on the new buildings now in course of construction has not been made public, bit it will likely be in the near future. ——DMiss Virginia Healy, daughter of Mr. and.

More applications for admission to | State College have been received up to this time than ever before in the ' history of the institution. The rapid ! growth of State College, with its large number of beautiful and magnificent homes, has not been able to keep pace with the steady growth of the college. This fact is known by all who are fa- miliar with conditions there. In the central part of the town! prices have increased very rapidly as | the demand for business locations have grown. Many residences have been sold and business buildings erect- ed. This, together with the number of beautiful homes being built in and near State College, has made the ques- tion of obtaining desirable home site property within reasonable distance from the center of the town and the college a serious one. However, a number of enterprising business men have practically solved this problem. The firm known as the State Realty | company, of State College, is offering ' for sale beautiful home sites on the J. D. Keller farm, which was formerly known as the Markle farm. This property is located within the borough limits, adjoining College avenue, and with Beaver and Foster avenues, two of the finest residential streets of the town, extending through the property. The State Realty is developing this | property into a high class residential | section. A corps of engineers have been at work plotting and planning the property into large and attractive ' home sites, which is highly restricted for a residential section. This proper- ty is destined to become the blue rib- bon residential section of State Col- . lege. | It will be known as Beaver Lawn, | and will be offered for sale at reason- | able prices and on easy terms. | Beaver Lawn will add a great deal to the growth of State College, since many of the residents of the town and : vicinity have watched steadily and pa- tiently for the opportunity to secure ' desirable home sites in that location. It is a known fact that real estate | in State College and vicinity is a good : investment, and for twenty years past | has proven to be a good money-mak- ing proposition. Persons have doubled, trebled and quadrupled their invest- | ments in real estate in the past ten years. | It is the purpose of the State Real- | ty company to buy, sell, rent and han- dle real estate in every form. Per- sons having real estate for sale, whether developed or undeveloped, or | for rent, will find it profitable to con- | sult this firm, which for the present is located at 224 E. College avenue. Announcements of this development of Beaver Lawn—this new residential property—will be made from time to time in the “Watchmédn:” Tt is the plan of the organization to offer choice home sites at very interesting prices, ! and then gradually increase them, but ' those desiring choice locations and in- teresting prices should arrange im-: mediately for an appointment to be shown Beaver Lawn by calling State College, Bell ‘phone 256. | Getting Ready for the Big Picnic. | | In preparation for the encampment and fair at Grange Park, Centre | Hall—September 1 to 7—now just! one month away, necessary repairs to | buildings and grounds are being made. i Demanded by the growth of the camp, ! the lighting system will be extended. | A new garbage pit has been opened. | At the main entrance to the park, a new gateway will replace the old one of many years’ standing, and to the casual visitor this should at once.indicate that the encampment and fair is each year growing bigger and better in every way. Tent erection - will not begin for another week. Tenters whose loca- tions will be changed, due to placing of some play-ground equipment, will be notified. This equipment has been already ordered. The Encampment and Fair commit- tee met on Saturday afternoon and will continue to meet every two weeks until the encampment opens. A meeting in the interest of the pa- geant was held with Logan Grange last Friday evening and enthusiastic support promised. Mr. Gordon, who has the pageant in charge, will, from August 1st, give his entire time to its development. Already in Grange cir- cles State-wide interest has been ex- pressed. And when actual preparation begins, those who are willing to take part in a big thing will be urged to work with enthusiasm. ——————— A ————— Business Men’s Picnic August 16th.

Elizabeth Corl, ten year old daugh- ter of Otis and Ellen Corl, of Fergu- son township, died last Friday of tet- anus, the result of running a splinter into her big toe. The accident happened ten days previous and the splinter was promptly extracted and for several days the child felt no pain from the puncture. Early last week the injur- ed toe became sore and a physician was summoned. He found the little girl suffering with tetanus (lockjaw) and though everything possible was done the disease could not be over- come and she passed away at the time above stated. Elizabeth was an especially bright and attractive girl and a great favor- ite in her home locality. She was well advanced in her school studies for one of her years and a regular attend- ant at Sunday school. In addition to her parents she is survived by six brothers and three sisters. Rev. S. C. Stover had charge of the funeral serv- ices which were held at two o’clock on Monday afternoon, burial being made in the Pine Hall cemetery. ——Bellefonte friends of Henry Keller Jr., will be glad to know that he is now head of the department of agricultural economics at the New Jersey State College, located at New Brunswick.
