— Picnics and family reunions are
practically over for this season but
splendid diversion and entertainment
can be found every evening in the
week at the Scenic, watching the mo-
tion pictures. It is the one place of
amusement in Bellefonte that is open
every evening in the week except Sun-
day and every week in the year. And
every program is worth seeing, so be
a regular and see them all.

noon between Bellefonte and Centre
Hall, the former team winning.

the State during the present month,

—Z The Bellefonte Academy will
open on Wednesday of next week and
if indications count for anything that
well known institution will likely be
well filled with students during the
coming school year. While headmas-
ter James R. Hughes is always opti-
mistic he “never counts his chickens
until they are hatched,” and on the
samé basis he never gives figures on
his students until the final count is
made! But from the number of res-
ervations ‘and ‘implied promises there
is .every. prospect that the Academy
will be well filled. ;

PAGEANT A BIG SUCCESS. |
The Grange Encampment Has Been |
a Great Success. .
The fiftieth anniversary encamp-
ment of the Patrons of Husbandry of
Centre county has been all that could -
have been desired. While Wednes- !
day’s rain and yesterday’s lowering -
skies somewhat reduced the usual"
crowds on -these-days. always there
was the city of tent-holders there to
enjoy the social and entertainment
features provided. {
As we stated in advance notices of !
the encampment more pretentious
provision for exhibits and the comfort
of the campers had been made than
ever before and the program publish-
ed last week was carried out to the
letter, insofar as it was not interfer-
ed with by the hard rain of Wednes-
day.
a might have been expected, be-
cause of the propitious season, the
fruit exhibit was the outstanding fea-
ture of the agricultural display. Nev-
er was a more creditable. display of
the product of fields, orchards and
gardens of Centre county gathered to-
gether.
Tuesday’s crowd was the largest
ever reported for that day on the |
grounds. Wednesday's was reduced
by the rain, of course, 2nd yesterday
there were quite as many there as
have been usual on that day in the
past.
This fiftieth anniversary encamp-
ment was in a sense a tribute to the
memory of the late Hon. Leonard
Rhone, who fifty years ago conceived
the idea of gathering the farmers of
Centre county together for an annual
conference on subjects conducive to
their progress. The first actual picnic
was held on the top of Nittany moun-
tain where they gathered yearly un-
til the ground became too small for
the accommodation of the crowds.
Then for a few years the encampment
was held in the woods adjacent to the
Old Fort. There the space became too
limited and resulted in the purchase
of the ground just on the outskirts of
Centre Hall which has been improved
until it has become really a perma-
nent park.
THE PAGEANT.
The really big and interesting en-
tertainment of the week was the Pa-
geant of “The Third Season” exempli-
fying in action and tableaux the de-
velopment of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry.
It-was scheduled for Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings but because of
Wednesday’s rain the second perform-
ance was postponed until last even
In addition to the producing staff
Springs; 82 from Spring Mills; 24
from State College.
The Pageant was presented in three
episodes: First, rural organization
for fraternity; second, the Grange
broadens its program; third, the har-
vest time. It was written and direct-
ed by W. A. Gordon, of The Pennsyl-
vania State College, and proved both
a charming and instructive revue of
the progress of agriculture.
Last evening’s reproduction was
much more finished than the first one
for the reason that lighting effects, so
had been greatly improved.
Patsy Bathurst Run Over by Aute
but Escapes Serious Injury.
Knocked down and run over by an
automobile but back on the job selling
hot dogs within half an hour was the
rather unique experience of Patsy
Bathurst on Saturday evening. He
was in charge of the hot dog stand
at the festival held on the island by
members of the United Brethren
church. Running short of gasoline he
went across south Water street to
Decker Bros. garage to get a supply.
With a can of gasoline in his hand
he walked to the curb and waited un-
til a motorcycle and an automobile
passed and believing the roadway
clear started across the street just as
an auto shot around the curve and hit
him. He was knocked down but in
falling grabbed the fender and held to
the car. His hold broke and as he fell
down the car passed over his right
shoulder. His shoulder was cut and
badly bruised, but fortunately no
bones broken. He also sustained cuts
on his head and face and both wrists.
He was picked up and taken to a
physician who found all his injuries to
be superficial, and after applying the
necessary bandages Mr. Bathurst
went back to the Island and resumed
his sale of hot dogs. ;
The car which hit him was a Buick
driven by a young man named Dean,
who stopped as quickly as possible
and rendered what assistance he
could.
Red Cross Fund for Japanese Relief.
“The authorities of the Bellefonte
chapter of the Red Cross have as yet
received no word as to Centre coun-
ty’s quota in the Japanese relief fund,
but they are assured that when the
time comes both the town and county
will do their share. While awaiting
further information, and the launch-
ing of the drive that will perhaps be
necessary, those desiring to give may
do so. Charles M. McCurdy, of the
First National bank, Bellefonte, is
treasurer of the local chapter and will
be glad to receive contributions. Sel-
dom in the world’s history has their
been such a disaster; America already
leaps forward to aid. We need not
wait until our quota has been ‘assign-
ed before we begin to give. Judging
by past experience, Bellefonte does not
fail in this sort of thing. ?

Boal Troopers Hold Annual Reunion
at Boalsburg.
About fifty members of the old
Boal troop attended the annual re-
union of their organization at Boals-
burg on Saturday and Sunday. All
former commanding officers of the
troop were present with the single ex-
ception of Captain Pierre de Lagarde
Boal, who is now in charge of the
United States Legation, at Warsaw,
Poland. The commanding officer of
the present Boal troop was a guest of
the veterans.
In the absence of Mr. Barrett, pres-
ident of the association, Col. Wilbur
F. Leitzell presided at the business
meeting and officers for the ensuing
year were elected as follows: Pres-
ident, Charles Reed, Milroy; vice
president, Walter L. Poorman, Boals-
burg; secretary and treasurer, W.
Clair Lyons, Bellefonte. It was decid-
ed to hold the next annual reunion at
Boalsburg the second Saturday and
Sunday in August, 1924.
A big dance on Saturday night,
which was attended by a number of
young ladies from various parts of
the county, was the social feature of
the reunion. Sunday was devoted to
periences of their various active cam-
paigns. It will be recalled that it was
the Boal troop, alone and unsupport-
ed, which repulsed and inflicted terri-
ble losses on three German waves of
picked infantry at Apremont. This
repulse, according to the accounts of
prisoners, practically broke up an en-
tire German shock division. The
troop distinguished itself by its effi-
ciency on the Mexican border in 1916
and 1917, and had the highest rating
in the recent tour of duty in the coal
fields of Pennsylvania. During their
stay at Boalsburg the troopers had
their meals served by manager George
Ferguson, of the Boalsburg tavern.
Clarence Gross Violates Parole, then |
Escapes from Officers.
Clarence Gross, sentenced to the
Huntingdon reformatory by Judge
Quigley in May, 1922, for larceny
committed at State College, and who
was recently turned out on parole, did
some lively sprinting last Thursday
to escape the clutches of Blair county
officers of the law. Gross was work-
ing out his parole at the home of
Mayberry Hileman, on’ Brush moun-
tain, near Hollidaysburg. While
there he wrote a letter to another in-
mate in the reformatory urging him
to escape and meet him at a certain
place and they would go away togeth-
er. ;
The inmate who received the letter |
turned it over to superintendent J. W.
Herron and Blair county officers were
requested to capture Gross and return
him to the reformatory. Consequent-
ly on Thursday a Hollidaysburg offi-
cer went to the Hileman home and
took the young man into custody. But
when they went out onto the porch
Gross suddenly jumped over the rail-
ing and soon disappeared in a field
covered with weeds. Later the young
man entered a store in Hollidaysburg
and being recognized by the man in
charge an effort was made to lock the
store and keep him prisoner, but he
beat the storekeeper to the door and
again made his escape. At last ac-
counts he was still at large.
Twenty-seven New DeMolays Initiat-
ed in Penn-Centre Chapter.
Twenty-seven new members were
initiated into the mysteries of the
Penn-Centre chapter Order of DeMo-
lay on Monday evening. The ceremo-
ny was preceded by a parade of the
charter members of the order and no-
vitiates, led by their own band under
the leadership of Frank Wetzler, of
Milesburg. The initiation ceremonies
were held in the opera house and the
full ceremonial was performed in a
very creditable manner by the chap-
ter officers. The candidates came
from various portions of the county
the initiation.
A pretty feature of the ceremony
was the presentation of a beautiful
U. S. flag of fine embroidered silk, the
gift of L. Frank Mayes, of Lemont.
Prof. Eugene Weik, of State College,
made the presentation speech, and
acknowledgment of the gift was made
by Wilson I. Fleming, chairman of
the board of advisors for the chap-
ter.
Though only three months old the
Penn-Centre chapter now has a
membership of one hundred and six-
teen, with their own band. The big
effort now is to purchase uniforms for
the band members. Chapter meetings
are held every second and fourth
Tuesday in the month in the Bush Ar-
cade. :
Something for the School Directors.
A most interesting discussion of a
subject that is of special interest to
school directors and general interest
to the parents of school children will
be found on page 2 of this issue.
Under the head of “Harris Town-
ship’s Debt to Its Youth,” Paul C.
Coxey, of Boalsburg, treats the prob-
lem of consolidation of some of the
schools of that township with an in-
telligence begotten of considerable
study of the subject.
While the “Watchman” knows noth-
ing of the merits of his contention it
publishes the article because it might
offer suggestions to the men who have
the rural and isolated schools of the
county in charge that would result in
economies in the school districts and
at: the .same time afford greater ad-
vantages: to some ‘children who be-
cause of living in ‘detached sections
don’t have the same opportunity in
schooling that those living in’ more
populous areas have.
CROSS OF FIRE ON HALFMOON
HILL.
Ku Klux Klan Caused Much Excite-
ment Saturday Night.
“An’ the goblins they will get you,
If you don't watch out!”
Just as the good people of Belle-
fonte were in the act of retiring to
their downy couch, on Saturday night,
an alarm of fire was sent in to both
fire houses, and both companies quick-
ly responded. Just who sent in the
alarm is not known but the location
of the fire was given as Coleville.
But when the firemen reached
Thomas street they were stopped by
several hundred people massed there
and gazing in awe-struck wonder at a
large fiery cross, the emblem of the
Ku Klux Klan, on Halfmoon hill.
Many other people saw the cross from
their homes and watched it until the
fire burned out and the last fluttering
sparks commingled with the rays of
moonshine filtering through the tree
tops.
No hooded ghoulish forms were
seen flitting to and fro about the
burning cross and when the fire died
out several hundred people mustered
up sufficient courage to climb the hill,
and investigate the surroundings. But
all they found was the wooden cross,
almost twenty feet in height, and on
the ground a small quantity of Ku
Klux literature. Not a single individ-
ual was visible, and if a meeting had
been held there it must have been be-
fore the cross was set on fire, which
was close to eleven o'clock.
Of course the burning cross was
generally discussed on Sunday and a
few incline to the belief that it was
the work of a few practical jokers,
while others are strong in the belief
that a Klan has been organized in
Bellefonte. In fact rumors have
reached this office of warnings having
| been sent to people believed to be
straying from the straight and nar-
row path, but as they are only ru-
mors no credence should be placed in
i them.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
there was a fiery cross on Halfmoon
hill Saturday night, and this recalls
the fact that just two weeks ago Win-
field Rishel,"a former Bellefonte boy
but who lately has been located at
York, was here on a visit and at the
time claimed to be a state organizer
for the Ku Klux Klan. It is altogeth-
er probable that his visit here has re-
sulted in the organization of a Klan
in Bellefonte and vicinity, and to what
extent their activities will develop re-
mains to be seen.
Outlook for Football at Bellefonte
Academy.
Coach Carl Snavely has issued a
call for candidates for the Bellefonte
Academy football team to report on
Hughes field tomorrow for the start
of preliminary practice. During the
past few days football material has
been arriving from half a dozen
States, and included in the squad are
some of the best High school players
in the country. Only five of last
year’s squad will return to the Acad-
emy, but among the new material will
be found a number of scintillating
gridiron stars who are confidently ex-
pected to more than overbalance the
loss of the old men. Young athletes
from West Virginia, New York and
Ohio will compete with products of
Pennsylvania High schools for a place
on the team. Competition will be
keen and the result should be one of
the best teams ever turned out at the
Academy.
The schedule this year includes
games with many strong teams, al-
though only three contests will take
place on Hughes field. The opening
game will be with Potts College, of
Williamsport, on September 29th. The
Lumber city kickers are an accumu-
lation of stars from various schools
and are always a hard team to buck
against. That is the reason why the
opening game will be one worth cee-
ing. Keep the date in mind and be on
the field early.
Notice to Sunday School Workers of
Centre County.
The annual convention of the Penn-
sylvania State Sabbath School asso-
ciation will be held at Williamsport,
October 10th, 11th and 12th. I have
just received the credential cards for
delegates, superintendents and pas-
tors to attend the convention. Each
school should be represented by one
delegate in addition to the superin-
tendent and pastor. The fact of the
convention being held so near to Cen-
tre county this year should be an in-
ducement to send a large delegation.
Please arrange for your delegates ear-
ly and send the names of each one
who expects to go to Williamsport to
me and I will mail to them the neces-
sary credentials with the railroad one
and one-half fare certificate. Boost
for delegates. ! !
