——When Charles C. Keichline
came down to his store on Saturday
morning he found a two-thirds grown
owl lying dead on the pavement. A
splotch on the big plate glass window
showed that the bird had flown

cause -its death.
——The Rev. Malcolm Maynard at-
tended, yesterday, in New York, a
meeting of the executive committee
of the Priests’ convention scheduled
for Philadelphia in April, 1924, on
which committee he has been asked
to serve. This convention next year

bishops and clergy who are interested
in the Catholic revival in the Episco-
pal church.
; Bellefonte people who had the
pleasure of meeting Mrs. R. E. Gill,
during the year she spent with her
cousins, Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Schmidt,
in Bellefonte, will be grieved to learn
that her husband lost his life in the
earthquake in Japan on September
first. Mrs. Gill is now in London and
the sad news was conveyed to Dr. and
Mrs. Schmidt in a letter received
from her this week.
—The election is now a thing of
‘the past. As usual, only fifty per
«cent. of the candidates could win but
everybody wins who attends the Scen-
ic regularly. There are no blanks
there and no chance of defeat. The
excellent motion pictures can be seen
by each and every one, and they are
always pictures which delight and en-
tertain. If you are not a regular get
in line and see all the good ones.
Members of the Reformed
«church in Centre county, as well as
his many friends in Bellefonte will
be interested in learning that Dr. A.
‘M. Schmidt, pastor of the Bellefonte
church, was elected president of the
Eastern Synod of the Reformed
church at its 177th annual sessions,
held in Philadelphia last week. This
is the oldest and the largest of the
district Synods of that church in the
United States.
—— The Ladies Aid society of the
‘Evangelical church are making won-
derful preparations for the oyster
supper and three day bazaar they are
going to start on November 15th. The
«oyster supper will be served on the
evening of the 15th at fifty cents per
plate and the bazaar will be contin-
ued on Friday and Saturday. For the
Saturday sales a lot of delectable
bake products for the Sunday dinner
will be offered. The supper and ba-
=zaar will both be held in the church
on Willowbank street.
We must certainly give it to
the Lutherans when it comes to rais-
ing money for church work. Some
wery decided improvements are being
made to the Bellefonte church, which
are going to cost a lot of money and,
of course, the congregation has real-
Fia=d that fact for some time. Sunday
mporning was the time set to raise the
¢momey and, remarkable as it may
.-seem, in just fifteen minutes $5,900
were pledged toward the work. This
. sum’ may not cover the cost of the
work but if it doesn’t we have every
. confidence in the members “chipping
1 in” to make up the deficiency.
~——A. L. McGinley has been hous-
“ed up this week with a badly injured
leg as the result of falling through a
€oal hole opening in the pavement at
the First National bank building. The
cover on the hole evidently was not
properly. fastened and when Mr. Mec-
(Ginley stepped onitit turned and he
went down several feet. His left leg
was badly skinned and bruised, the
flesh torn and the muscles wrenched.
He continued to look after his busi-
mess on Friday and Saturday but by
Sunday morning his leg was so stiff
and painful he was unable to use it,
and has been confined to the house
ever since.
The Hon. A. G. Morris cele-
brated his eighty-ninth birthday an-
piversary on Monday and made it an
pccasion to have all the members of
this family as well as a number of in-
#imate friends present at a sumptu-
wus dinner. In the afternoon and
@vening more than a hundred Belle-
fonte friends called to tender con-
gratulations. Eighty-nine chrysan-
#hemums and an equal number of yel-
Yow roses, a token of esteem from the
office force and workmen of the Amer-
ican Lime & Stone Co., formed a mas-
sive centre piece on the table at the
dinner. Mr. Morris also received a
weritable shower of postcards.
Ferguson Township People Bring Big
Donation to Bellefonte Hospital.
Last Friday a big truck drove up to
the Bellefonte hospital, loaded to the
top with the best wishes of the resi-
dents of Ferguson township, and in
this instance the wishes were in the
shape of one of the most bounteous
donations received at that institution
for some time. The donation was
gathered up by Mr. George D. Mor-
rison, of Pennsylvania Furnace, and
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Frank, of Pine
Grove Mills. The Keller & Co. truck
was used to convey the donation to
the hospital, and while it is a big
truck, if the appreciation of the hos-
pital authorities could have been put
in material form it would not have
been near large enough to convey
them back to the generous contribu-
tors. Following is a list of the don-
ors and their contributions:

During the Hallow-een carnival in
Bellefonte last Wednesday evening
two ladies from Axe Mann, Mrs.
James Summers and Mrs. Lena M.
Confer, dressed in costume and took
up a collection for the hospital among
the crowd, receiving $28.00, which
was turned over to the hospital the
next day.
The hospital also received from the
Lutheran church a donation of fruit
and vegetables and $12.05 contribut-
ed last Sunday. Heartfelt thanks are
returned for all the above.
Centre County Farmers Compelled to
Buy Corn Huskers.
Owing to the scarcity of farm help
many Centre county farmers have
been compelled to purchase corn
huskers and shredders in order to
handle their crop. A car load, six in
all, of these farm implements reached
Bellefonte on Friday and were dis-
tributed among the purchasers on
Saturday. They were of the latest
improved make of the International
Harvester company.
Twenty to twenty-five years ago
farmers experienced no trouble in get-
ting their corn husked. Laboring
men not employed on farms were ai-
ways anxious to get corn to husk for
ten bushels out of the hundred, as a
means of getting corn to fatten the
family hogs, and it was no uncommon
sight to see father, mother and half
a dozen children in the corn field
skinin’ out the golden ears. But times
are different now. The “children”
will not husk corn and “father” is
making easier money and buys his
hog feed so that the farmer is thrown
upon his own resurces and is com-
pelled to fall back on mechanical
huskers and shredders.
Bellefonte Academy Defeated Pitt
Freshmen.
The Bellefonte Academy football
team played in fine form, last Satur-
day afternoon, and defeated the Pitt
Freshmen by the score of 27 to 7.
Two weeks previous the State Fresh-
men were only able to score nine
points against the junior Panthers.
Saturday’s game was especially inter-
esting because of the fact that four
former Academy students are on the
Pitt Freshman team. One of the
Academy’s best players this year is
from Toronto, Canada, and the Toron-
to Globe sent ‘a staff correspondent
here to cover the game on Saturday.
Boys’ Prank Causes Lights to go Out.
Last Monday night the sign light-
ing circuit refused to operate. The
electric repair men spent several
hours trying to locate the trouble but
were unable to do so owing to the
darkness and the rainy weather. The
next morning, after working for sev-
eral hours, they discovered a tin can
on the ground near the Lamb street
sub-station. This can showed evi-
dence of being burned. Upon inves-
tigating they found that some boys
had thrown the can across two wires’
which lead from the switching struec-
ture around the corner of the build-
ing, causing both wires to be burned
off.
Pennsylvania Day at State College
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be Pennsylvania day
at State College and the big attrac-
tion will naturally be the Georgia
Tech-Penn State football game. State
lost to Syracuse last Saturday by the
score of 10 to 0, her first defeat of
the season, but she went down with
colors flying. Crippled as State was,
with Capt. Bedenk and Palm out of
the game as the result of injuries, she
was no match for the powerful Syra-
cuse eleven. Tomorrow’s game with
Georgia Tech will be the last of the
season on Beaver field and there is
every assurance that it will be a con-
test worth seeing.
Was in the Japanese Earthquake.
Word has just reached us that Alex
Yarrington and his family were vic-
tims of the recent Japanese earth-
quake. While they escaped with their
lives everything else, except the
clothes they had on, was destroyed and
Alex facetiously wrote that since it
was an unusually hot day in Japan
they had very few clothes on.
The Yarringtons had been in Japan
for eighteen months. M%. Yarrington
is the American representative of a
Milwaukee road building machinery
company and while he remained his
wife and son have returned to the
States and will spend the winter with
his mother, Mrs. H. S. Yarrington, of
Richmond, Virginia. The latter is-a
daughter of the late Senator Cyrus T.
Alexander, one time prominent as an
attorney and business man of this
place. -
The Mrs. John Beckman Concert.
Don’t forget the entertainment in
the Presbyterian chapel Tuesday
evening, November 13th, at 8 o’clock,
when Mrs. John Beckman will, in cos-
tume, sing Sweedish folk songs and
play time songs. This will be a hos-
pital benefit under the auspices of the
Woman's club.
Mrs. Beckman has received favor-
able comments from such people as
Redfern Mason in The Examiner; The
Santa Rosa Republican; from the
John Muir school, Berkeley, Califor-
nia; from the Cora L. Williams’ In-
stitute; from the principal of Mrs.
Dow’s school, Briarcliff Manor, New
York, and from numerous others.
The tickets are only 50 cents and
can be secured at Potter and Hoy’s,
Hazel & Co., Miss Helen E. Overton,
ticket choirman, and members of the
Woman’s club.
Ernest Tate Injured in Auto Accident
Sunday Evening.
On Sunday evening Darius Cole and
Ernest Tate, of Coleville, in the for-
mer’s new Chevrolet car, started for
Snow Shoe Intersection to get some |
ice cream at Davidson’s ice cream fac-
tory. Motoring along on the con-
crete road through Central City they
evidently forgot about the 8:10 train
until they saw it thundering down the
track right ahead of them. They
were too close to the railroad to stop
and it was impossible to beat the train
over the ‘crossing, so Cole turned
sharply to the left and plunged down
over a twelve foot embankment into
Bald Eagle creek where the machine
landed on its side in over two feet of
water. Cole escaped without a scratch
but Tate suffered a number of super-
ficial cuts and bruises. His injuries,
however, are not considered serious
and he will likely be all right in a
few days. The engineer of the train
saw the accident, stopped and brought
Tate to Bellefonte, after which he
was taken to his home at Coleville.
Last Thursday afternoon Nathan
Kofman hauled in a truck which was
being guided by one of his teamsters.
They came in south Water street and
turned down over High street bridge
when the rear truck got away from
its driver and ran into the rear of F.
H. Thomas’ Mitchell car, shoving it
across the pavement against the
guard rail. The tire holder on the
car was broken off and a big hole
punched in the gasoline tank. Van
Jodon had just gotten out of the car
and Mr. Thomas was soon on the scene
but entirely unperturbed Mr. Kofman
viewed the damage and waving to-
ward his office said “come over and
get your check.”

Trail of Death Marked Opening of
the Hunting Season.
A trail of death from gunshot
wounds marked the opening of the
hunting season, last Thursday. From
various sections of the State came re-
ports of men and boys being shot in
mistake for game or killed by the
accidental discharge of their own
guns from careless handling. No fa-
tal accidents, however, happened in
Centre county, although a young man
named Daughenbaugh, of Howard,
was peppered with a load of bird shot
by another hunter. He was not ser-
iously wounded, however, and that is
the only accident so far reported.
The aggregate kill on the opening
day was rather disappointing to the
army of hunters out in the woods.
Wild turkeys, which was the most
sought for game, were scarce and hard
to get. Only two were brought into
Bellefonte, one by J. O. Heverly and
the other by a Pittsburgh man hunt-
ing with him. Less than a dozen tur-
keys were killed in the foothills of the
Alleghenies, which ordinarily yield
fair returns.
The Seig party, hunting on the
Fishing creek region, got two turkeys
and two pheasants.
A party of hunters from Bellefonte
and Hecla went over the mountain at
the head of Sugar valley on the open-
ing day but though they saw numer-
ous turkey trails they failed to sight
a single one. They did, however, get
one pheasant and a bunch of rabbits,
and saw two bear and four deer, one
of the latter being a big buck.
Dr. David Dale, John Curtin and
Villis Shuey spent the first two days
of the season in the Beaver Meadows
where they got nine pheasants but de-
cided the gunning wasn’t good enough
there and moved their camp over into
the Seven mountains above Colyer.
H. N. Meyer, hunting on the moun-
tain north of Hecla, got three squir-
rels, being bitten on the right hand
by one of them which he attempted to
pick up before it was dead.
. Boalsburg hunters got two turkeys
the opening day while hunters from
Centre Hall got five or six on the
opening day on Nittany mountain.
Among the lucky shots were Clyde
Bradford, a young man named Grove
and Charles Arney, the latter also
bagging a few rabbits. Mr. Arney is
an expert on rabbits and every year a
box containing two nicely dressed
rabbits comes to this office as the re-
sult of his unerring aim.
Brief Meeting of Borough Council.
John G. Love, secretary of the lo-
cal board of health, appeared before
borough council, at its regular meet-
ing on Monday evening, in relation to
residents of east Logan street dump-
ing wash water into the open gutter.
Their excuse is that there is no sew-
er on that end of the street and no
place to dig cess pools, and Mr. Love
urged council to put down a sewer.
It will require 350 feet of sewer to
abate the worst nuisances complained
of and over 700 feet to reach to the
end of the street, and the matter was
referred to the Street committee for
investigation and report.
Mr. Stine, of east Howard street,
asked for better water facilities and
the Water committee reported that a
new pipe line will be laid across the
street, probably this week.
The street committee reported
progress in putting down the sewer
on Church alley and presented checks
from the State Highway Department
for $102.08 for use of road roller.
The Water committee reported that
the new Coleville line had been tested
and found all right, and presented a
check from the American Lime &
Stone company for $143.00, being half
the cost of the meter installed on the
company’s new water line. The com-
mittee also reported that three lots
adjacent to the reservoir had been
purchased for the borough by the
borough manager for $151.00, and a
resolution was passed authorizing the
purchase.
The question of burning refuse on
dumps was pretty thoroughly dis-
cussed but the only solution arrived
at was to give official notice to prop-
erty owners to abate the nuisance.
Bills to the amount of $3116.63
were approved for payment and coun-
cil adjourned.
What the Dental Hygienist is Ac-
complishing.
Miss Cora Mitchell, dental hygien-
ist, has completed six week’s work in
the schools of Bellefonte during which
time she has cleaned the teeth of 97
children in the grades of the Bishop
street building, 57 in the parochial
school, and 31 in grade one, Allegheny
street building. She expects to com-
plete grades one, four and six in the
latter building and will then spend
the last week of her engagement in
the Milesburg schools. She has given
health talks on the care of the teeth
in all grades of the three schools and
finds the pupils interested in having
their teeth cleaned and anxious to fol-
low her advice about seeing a dentist
and having the cavities filled. How-
ever anxious the child may be to have
this done, the parents, of course, must
make it possible and this, Miss Mitch-
ell finds, the most difficult part of her
problem for many are amazingly in-
different. Pretty tough, isn’t it, for a
child of ten years to have fifteen cav-
ities in her teeth, one permament mo-
lar gone and parents not at all con-
cerned? Unfortunate kiddies! May
the years bring you wisdom to give
the next generation a better deal!
——Buckwheat cakes and sausages
will soon be on the breakfast hill of
fare.

State College Expects Another Holi-
day Crowd.
A second crowd of between 15,000
and 20,000 people within three weeks
is expected to visit The Pennsylvania
State College tomorrow. This is the
date of the annual Pennsylvania day
celebration at State College, and a
crowd almost equal to that which
swarmed the campus for Alumni
Home-coming day on October 20th,
will be on hand. As on the alumni oc-
casion when the Penn State-Navy
football game was the chief attrac-
tion, so will the gridiron prove the
big drawing card on Pennsylvania
day when the Georgia Tech eleven
will meet Penn State on the campus.
This annual fall holiday is now a
purely undergraduate celebration. On
this day the students will entertain
their sisters and “best girls” at house
parties and at entertainments provid-
ed by the student musical and theat-
rical organizations. It will be the last
big social event on the campus until
the annual Junior prom in the spring
and the undergraduates are making
preparations for an unusually big
day. The crowd of 20,000 at the
Alumni home-coming was handled
with credit to the town and college
officials. :

County Childrens Aid Society to be
Formed.
Miss Negley, secretary of the Chil-
drens Aid society of Western Penn-
sylvania, was the guest of Mrs. M. E.
Brouse for two days this week and
held an interesting meeting of the
Childrens Aid, Wednesday afternoon.
Judge Quigley was present and as-
sured the members of his hearty co-
operation and legal support in some
of the problems discussed. Miss Neg-
ley urged a county organization with
local vice presidents so distributed
that children in all parts of the coun-
ty could be looked after and cared for,
when necessary, by the Childrens Aid
society. Announcement of the names
of these vice presidents will be made
later.

——Logan firemen worked most of
Tuesday in an endeavor to extinguish
the dump fire on the Bush property in
Bush Addition which has been burn-
ing for weeks. In fact fires have also
been burning on dumps out beyond
the borough home and on north Alle-
gheny street, and the question of how
to overcome them has been up before
borough council on various occasions.
Of course, the only sure way is to
prevent the dumping of refuse that
i will burn at the above places, and
naturally the draymen get the blame
for so doing. But it is not entirely
the draymen who are to blame. The
big bulk of the inflammable stuff
comes from the cellars of store rooms
and restaurants, such as paper car-
tons, excelsior and other packing ma-
terial, broken boxes, etc. Such ma-
terial should be hauled to a separate
dump and burned at once and if this
were done it would go a long ways
toward abating the nuisances so much
complained of.
Rudy—McClellan.—Simon C. Rudy
and Miss Hliad M. McClellan, both of
State College, were married at the
Methodist parsonage, Bellefonte, on
Saturday, by the pastor, Rev. E. E.

——The “Watchman” has received
a letter from Mrs. William Resides
stating that the horse she rode in the
Hallow-een parade last week did not
“stumble and throw her off,” as stated
in our report of the affair last week.
The horse fell but she stuck to the
saddle, according to her statement.
