Memorial Services Friday Afternoon
for Late President. :
_ Practically every business place in
Bellefonte was closed last Friday
afternoon as a mark of respect to the
late President Harding, whose remains
were laid to rest in the little cemetery
at Marion. As previously announced,
memorial services were held in the
court house at three o'clock in the
afternoon. Several hundred people
were in attendance. Judge Henry C.
Quigley presided and paid a brief
tribute to the dead.
In the absence of Col. J. L. Spangler
his place on the program was very
ably filled by Rev. David R. Evans.
The principal speaker for the after-
noon was Dr. John M. Thomas, presi-
dent of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege. This was the first opportunity
many Bellefonte people had of hearing
him and his talk was a tribute worth
hearin; . In closing he stated that he
had been a member of the National
Republican convention which nominat-
ed Mr. Harding for President and
aside from the political equation he
now believes he was the best man that
could have been chosen. He may not
go down in history as one of the great
Presidents, but any mistakes he may
have made were not of the heart, be-
cause all his energies were directed to-
wards bringing peace to the world
and prosperity to his beloved country.
Speaking of our new President,
Calvin Coolidge, Dr. Thomas stated
that it was his good fortune to be per-
sonally acquainted with the man who
now occupies the presidential chair.
That he has known him through all
his public career and he feels confi-
dent that he will measure up to the
fuil standard of the arduous duties
that will fall upon him. In fact, the
Doctor said, he believes he is a great-
er man in many ways than any who
have occupied the presidential chair
since Grover Cleveland, and that he is
possessed of keen vision and the will
power to do what he believes will be
best for the greater mass of people in
this wonderful country of ours.
Pet Day at the Play Grounds.
Pet day at the play grounds at the
High school building in Bellefonte
drew a large crowd of young folks on
Wednesday afternoon of last week.
The young ladies in charge had ar-
ranged a delightful program which
was featured by a parade of the little
ones with their pets in costume. Some
of the make-ups were quite attractive
and the children all deserve commen-
dation for their work in this line.
Winner of the first prize was Mary
Baum, fox terrier; second prize, Lulu
Hockman, Eskimo dog; third prize,
Ruth Bottorf, kitten. Honorable men-
tion was given to Philip McGovern,
hunting hound; Grace Gallagher,
groundhog; Barbara Taylor, large cat;
Virginia Markley, dog.
Other young folks who had their
pets on exhibition were Julia Hines,
large dog; Clarence Owens, puppy;
Annie McGovern, kitten; Marion Mor-
rison, kitten; Kenneth Ulrich, Scotch
collie; Lucy Folmer, kitten; Anna Me-
Nichols, kitten; Russell Brown, small
turtle; Helen Nelson, small dog; Ha-
zel Keeler, shepherd dog; Irvin Graf-
mire, hunting hound.
The afternoon’s exercises were
opened with an animal story by one of
the ladies in charge. . Next came the
races for boys and girls. Interest in
these events was intense and every-
body did their best. The prize win-
ners were Catherine Farley, Ruth
Bottorf, Philip Taylor, Ned Ray, Beu-
lah Shawley, Earl Heverly, Dean Get-
tig, Ray Singhizer and Joseph O’Lea-
ry. First prize in the horseshoe pitch-
ing contests was won by dean Gettig
and William Mackley. Winners in the
races were Philip McGovern, Bobby
Wilkinson and Jean Smith.
In the evening the I. O. O. F. band
gave a concert on the grounds which
was greatly enjoyed by old and young
alike. All in all it was a splendid en-
tertainment for the little folks, who
hope to have a similar day some time
in the future. The young laides who
arranged the program and managed
the affair so successfully were Mary
Chambers, Mary Dale and Julia Bul-
lock.
—— There will be a meeting of the
American Legion Auxiliary, in the Le-
gion club rooms in the Centre County

MAYES.—Jones B. Mayes, the vet-
eran marble dealer of Lemont, died
very unexpectedly at his home in that
place on Sunday evening. Six months
ago he suffered a rather severe illness
and although he recovered therefrom
he never regained his former robust
health. He was able, however, to de-
vote a part of his time to his business
interests and on Saturday he was feel-
ing so well that he came to Bellefonte
and spent the night and most of Sun-
day with his daughter, Mrs. Robert
F. Evey and family. On Sunday
afternoon his grandson, Kenneth
Mayes, motored to Bellefonte and took
him home. He ate his supper as usual
on Sunday evening and made no com-
plaint of feeling ill. Shortly after re-
tiring for the night his wife was at-
tracted by an unusual noise and turn-
ing on the light was dismayed to find
her husband dead, he having passed
away without an apparent struggle.
Mr. Mayes was a native Centre
countain, having been born on August
20th, 1849, hence was within a few
days of being seventy-four years old.
As a young man he learned the wag-
on making trade, an occupation he
followed at Houserville for a number
of years. Later he engaged in the
marble and granite business at Le-
mont, in which his son, L. Frank
Mayes, later became a partner and
which today is the only establishment
of the kind in that section of the coun-
ty. It might be noteworthy to men-
tion that five of Mr. Mayes’ six sons
are now engaged in the marble busi-
ness.
Mr. Mayes was a member of the
Evangelical church, of Lemont, and a
man who not only believed in the Di-
vine teachings of the bible but made
them a guiding rule for his daily life.
He was an ardent advocate in the
cause of temperance and a man whose
death is a loss to the community in
which he lived. In politics he was a
Republican but never craved public of-
fice for himself, being content to sup-
port the standard bearers of his party.
He was twice married, his first wife
being Miss Mary E. Brown, who died
November 26th, 1912. Several years
later he married Mrs. Nathan Grove,
who survives with the following chil-
dren by his first marriage: J. Will
Mayes, of Howard; L. Frank Mayes,
of Lemont, present treasurer of Cen-
tre county; Jared D. and Charles F.,
of Milton; Mrs. Robert F. Evey, of
Bellefonte; Mrs. John H. Mokle and
W. A. Mayes, of Lehighton; Thomas
E. Mayes, of Johnstown, and Miss
Maude M. Mayes, of New York city.
He was the last surviving member of
a family of seven children.
Funeral services were held at his
late home at Lemont at ten o’clock
yesterday morning after which burial
was made in the Boalsburg cemetery.

YOUNG.—Dorothy Young, daugh-
tr of Andrew B. and Ida Young, died
at the family home on south Alleghe-
ny street at 1:30 o’clock on Wednes-
day morning, as the result of an at-
tack of diphtheria. The young girl
had not been real well for several
days but was up and around the house
until Tuesday when she became quite
ill. A physician was hastily summon-
ed and he found her suffering with a
bad attack of diphtheria. Every
known remedy was administered but
death ensued at the hour above stated.
The other children in the household
were promptly immunized to prevent
the'n from contracting the disease.
Dorothy was born in Bellefonte and
was 13 years, 5 months and 17 days
old. In addition to her parents she is
survived by the following brothers
and sisters: Mrs. Charles Saxion, of
Bellefonte; Mrs. Earle C. Dawson, of
Altoona; George Young, of Belle-
fonte; Malcolm, Russell, Grace,
Charles and Caroline, at home. Ow-
ing to the contagious nature of the
disease burial in the Union cemetery
was made on Wednesday night.

COLE.—Bruce Emert Cole, son of
0. Perry Cole, of Queen’s Run, but
formerly a resident of Bellefonte, died
at the Lock Haven hospital on Wed-
nesday of last week as the result of
bichloride of mercury poisoning. The
young man, though only twenty-one
years of age, was a chemist for the
Queen’s Run Refractories company.
He had been suffering for some time
past with nervous trouble and on July
31st, in a period of despondency, swal-
lowed three bichloride of mercury tab-
lets. He was promptly taken to the
Lock Haven hospital but the physi-
cians were unable to save his life.
"In addition to his father he is sur-
vived by two sisters and two brothers,
Mrs. Ambrose M. Sloteman, of Lock
Haven; Mrs. Daniel Bohn, of Spring
Mills; Lee and Harry Cole, of Akron,
Ohio. Funeral services were held at
the Sloteman home in Lock Haven
last Friday afternoon, after which the
remains were brought to Bellefonte
for burial in the Union cemetery.

Centre county on Tuesday and taken
to the home of her sistser, Mrs. Ann
Lucas, at Runville, where funeral
services were held at three o’clock on
Wednesday afternoon, burial being
made in the Advent cemetery.
KALER. Thomas J. Kaler, who
has been track foreman on the Lewis-
burg railroad at Coburn the past
twenty-seven years, died last Friday

Harry Kaler, of Bellefonte; Jesse and
Mrs. Walter Heim, of Northumber-
land; Charles, of Herndon; Mrs. Z. A.
fellow citizen.

An Appreciation.
In closing my pastorate in Bellefonte, I desire to
express my deepest appreciation of the service ren-
dered me and the church I have had the honor of
serving, by the press of the town. In the amount of
space granted for church purposes you have been
most gracious and generous.
success of the pastorate is due you for your uniform
kindness in assisting me in keeping before the people
the activities of the Bellefonte Presbyterian church.
Yours has been a labor of love and the only pay will
have to be in the “coin of the kingdom of love;” but
your service will constitute one of the many pleasant
memories of my labors among you as a minister of the
Gospel of the Son of God. I rejoice in the privilege
which is yours of shaping public opinion and in pro-
moting every worthy enterprise that touches the body,
mind and soul of man. May the Heavenly Father's
benediction be your portion for the service you have
rendered His kingdom, is the wish of your friend and

Business Men’s Picnic Drew a Great
Crowd to Hecla Yesterday.
mele.
Bellefonte was not quite a deserted
village yesterday, but thousands of
her residents went to Hecla park to
enjoy the day at the annual picnic of
the local business men.
The weather in the morning lookesl.
a bit threatening, but that didn’t de-
ter those with the picnic spirit so that
by noon there was a large crowd on
the grounds. The day remained
cloudy and cool, ideal for such an out-
ing.
The morning baseball game, between
State College and Millheim, was won
by the former by the score of 6 to 4,
Millheim errors having contributed
most to her defeat.
By afternoon the park fairly seeth-
ed with humanity the crowd having
been one of the very largest that has
ever attended a business men’s picnic.
The ball game between Bellefonte and
Centre Hall which was called at 3
o’clock was in progress when we went
to press with this issue.

Milton Fair Dates Changed.
The great Milton fair, the one in
Central Pennsylvania, where Centre
county lovers of good horses, inter-
esting exhibits and thrilling midway,
always know they will not be disap-
pointed, is to be held this year on
August 28, 29, 30 and 31st.
Usually the second week in Octo-
ber is the Milton date, but it will be
held early this year because it is a
member of the Juniata and Susque-
hanna circuit and through that will
be able to secure many more horses,
many more spectacular free shows
and many more concessions. On the
Midway will be merry-go-rounds, the
whip, Ferris-wheel, swings, seaplane
and other riding devices with many
good shows and none of them for
“men only.”
The Milton fair will be worth see-
ing this year. The roads are good
and every day will be “the big one.”

Meeting of the County Sunday School
Workers.
Thirty or more officers and district
superintendents of the Centre county
Sunday school association held a meet-
ing at the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. on
Sunday afternoon. Prof. I. L. Foster,
of State College, president of the as-
sociation, was in the chair and reports,
of the varied activities throughout the
county were very encouraging. The
special drive to raise Centre county’s
allotment of $2,500 towards equipping
the tri-county State camp near Frank-
linville has so far resulted in pledges
totalling about one thousand dollars,
and it is hoped to have the entire
amount on hand or pledged by the
next meeting of the committee, which
will be held on the camp grounds the
third Sunday in September.
—— The big crop of weeds on the

more likely to accommodate the festi-

which will be held there tomorrow
evening.

Making Motor Springs.
Converting of four car loads of steel
into 18,000 springs every day is one
of the interesting manufacturing op-
erations of the Ford Motor company
at its Highland Park plant and the de-
partment at present employs 600 men
to bring this production.
Of particular interest are the extra-
ordinary tests to which the steel is
subjected in order to prove its
strength before it is permitted to en-
ter the manufacturing process.
Before acceptance from the mills,
samples of the steel are made into tri-
al springs and those are placed in a
special apparatus where they are sub-
jected to 90,000 continuous vibrations
of 1,850 pounds to each stroke. In
actual use, it isn’t often that auto
springs receive such enormous pres-
sure, and the quality of genuine Ford
springs is strikingly shown by the fact
that so-called “Ford” springs made by
outside companies break before 20,000
"of these vibrations.
Once the metal is found by test to
be of standard quality, manufacture
begins. The steel is heated in furnac-
es to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit and the
leaves are formed and hardened in oil
in one operation. Following this they
are tempered in nitrate at 875 degrees,
then they are graphatized and are
ready for use.

hens and has now accumulated one
hundred and fifty head. He alleges
they lay daily; that is each hen pro-

Having the Confidence of the Public
is Better Than a Bank Roll.
