toothsome bird is not very plentiful
in some sections of the State.
- — Monday was observed as Arm-
istice day in Bellefonte, by the post-
office, banks and most of the stores.
The event, however, was not celebrat-
ed in any other way, either by the
American Legion or the public gen-
erally.
——W. B. Rankin, the well known
insurance man of Bellefonte, who was
badly injured in an automobile acci-
dent’ a few weeks ago, is now on a

still confined to his home on east Cur-
tin street.

James P. Aikens, of the Nittany Inn,
State College, as sergeant at arms.
Financial rally day at the Unit-
ed Evangelical church, on Sunday, re-
sulted in contributions and pledges
aggregating $2,500. This money will
be applied to the fund for remodel-
ing and increasing the size of the
church and Sunday school room, both

this flourishing congregation. The
committee in charge hope to have
everything in shape to begin work in
the spring.

cers are already being besieged by
many applicants for the various ap-
pointive positions to be filled. These |
will include a deputy sheriff, deputy
treasurer, deputy recorder, deputy
register, clerks to the county commis-
sioners, and attorneys for all the
above. A number of names have been
mentioned in connection with the var-
ious places but so far no appointments
have been announced.

be published in next week’s papers as
the committee wish to make a full ac-
counting to the public and give credit
to the workers who have so kindly as-
sisted in the Roll Call.
——Manager T. Clayton Brown is’
offering many splendid pictures on his
regular programs at the Scenic and
movie fans who don’t want to miss
any of the good ones should arrange
to attend every evening’s show. It is
‘the ‘only place in Bellefonte that of-
fers entertainment every evening in
the week c¢xcept Sunday, and now
that the weather is too cold for out-
door amusement the Scenic is the
place to spend your evenings.
——Almoest a full grown fawn was
brought to Gettig’s meat market in
this place last Saturday, it having
been chased into a wire fence by dogs
on the road from Brush valley: into
Sugar valley and so badly hurt that
it had to be killed. Two more fawns
were brought in this week, both hav-
ing been killed by automobiles, on the
public highway, one near Boalshurg
and the other in Brush valley. The
carcasses were cut up and the meat
Official Totals of Vote Cast at Recent
Election.
An expert mathematician would get
the jim-jams if he attempted to fig-
ure out a solution of the vote as cast
at last week’s general election in Cen-
tre county. Starting with the bead of
the ticket Judge Henderson, Republi-
can, had a majority of 3524 over
Charles D. McAvoy, Democrat, for
Judge of the Superior court, and in
the next block on the ticket E.R.
Taylor, Democrat, was elected over
William H. Brown, Republican, for
Sheriff by a majority of 3531, a
change of 7055 votes, as shown by the
official count completed on Tuesday
afternoon. Roy Wilkinson was re-
elected Prothonotary by the small ma-
jority of 54, while Lloyd Stover had
only 32 of a majority over Sinie H.
Hoy. A majority was given all of
the constitutional amendments in Cen-
tre county, that for the road bond
loan being 1492.
Owing to the narrow margin be-
tween the candidates for Prothonota-
ry and Recorder extra precautions
were taken in counting the vote, which
was begun at twelve o'clock last
Thursday. David R. Foreman and
Mrs. Donald Potter did the tabulat-
ing. The official envelopes were open-
ed by Prothonotary Roy Wilkinson
who handed them to Judge Quigley
and he announced the figures record-
ed. Miss Winifred M. Gates checked
up with the tally sheet and John
Blanchard and Ivan Walker were also
present checking up. After all the
returns had been tabulated they were
again checked and compared and final-
ly added, the close votes being added
on two different machines to be sure
they were correct. The official vote
as finally announced is as follows:

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew

bration of Mrs. Adams’ seventy-sixth
birthday anniversary. The dinner was
furnished and served by the children.
Mr. and Mrs. Adams only recently
passed their fifty-seventh wedding an-

splendid health. Guests present at
the birthday celebration were as fol-
lows: .
Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Adams, Mr. and
Mrs. John Adams, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel

that his condition is not serious.
Artelt escaped with a bad shaking up
while the young ladies were unhurt.
Miss McKee, by the way, visited in
Bellefonte during the summer as a
guest of Miss Eliza Blackburn at the
home of Col. and Mrs. J. L. Spangler.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank D. Gard-
ner, of State College, have announced
the engagement of their son, Lieut.
M. B. Gardner, of the U. 8. Navy, to
Miss Mary Gorgas, a daughter of
Lieut. Com. Miles C. Gorgas, of San
Francisco. Lieut. Gardner is now on
duty at the naval air station at San
Diego, Cal., where he is the engineer-
ing officer of his squadron.
Our Christmas Cards are Here.
For the benefit of those who intend
sending cards conveying Christmas or
New Years greetings we wish to an-
nounce that our line is now ready for
inspection.
All are exclusive designs and can-
not be duplicated in this territory.
We will print or engrave them as de-
sired, both as to style of lettering and
the greeting.
If you contemplate using cards this
Christmas season we would like you
to look ours over. We are sure you
will find some to please you.
Dental Hygienist in Milesburg Schools
Miss Cora Mitchell, dental hygien-
ist, who has been working in the
Bellefonte schools since September
24, moved her equipment to Miles-
burg on Tuesday and will work for a
week in the Milesburg schools. The
work is made possible through the
money secured in the sale of tubercu-
losis Christmas seals and as Miss
Bessie Miles had charge of the seal
sale last year in Milesburg, the credit
for the hygienist’s services there, is
really due her. By this means rural
communities might secure the dental
hygienist for their schools and would
find it &n excellent means of arousing
children to the need of care of the
teeth.”
The Last Warning.
Next Thursday evening the Belle-
{onte theatre gcers will have an op-
portunity of secing “The Last Warn-
ing,” one of the newest and greatest
of mystery plays, said by many to ri-
val “The Bat,” which gave excellent
satisfaction at its recent appearance
in Bellefonte.
with the complete cast of characters,
which opened the season at the Gar-
rick theatre, Philadelphia, on Labor
day, will appear in Bellefonte. The
seat sale for this remarkable mystery
play will open tomorrow (Saturday)
morning at the Mott Drug Company,
and inasmuch as the demand is sure
to be heavy reservations should ‘be
made at once. :
Small Game Season Half Over.
Just one-half of the open season for
small game has passed and while
quite a number of wild turkeys,
pheasant, squirrel - and rabbits have
been killed “in various parts of the
county, the total” amount of game
brought into Bellefonte has been com-
paratively small. Either Bellefonte
hunters have not pursued the sport
with their old-time vigor or else they
have lost their cunning in stalking
game. J i
Of course the deer season is coming
on apace and that will be the gala
time for hundreds throughout the
county, including many in Bellefonte,
and inasmuch as deer are reported
very plentiful they all anticipate great
sport during the fifteen days of the
season.
Auto Smashed Buggy, Injured Oc-
cupants,
On Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs.
William Hoover and young son, of
Greensvalley, started to drive to
Bellefonte in a buggy. On the moun-
tain road above Pleasant Gap they
were run into from the rear by an au-
tomobile, their buggy completely
wrecked and Mr. and Mrs. Hoover
painfully injured. Mr. Hoover had
several ribs broken and sustained a
number of cut and bruises. Mrs.
Hoover was also cut and bruised but
the boy escaped serious injury. The
wrecking of the buggy freed the horse
and it ran away. :
The accident happened at th
bridge just above Pleasant Gap. The
driver of the machine that ran into
the buggy, whose name could not be
learned, was blinded by the head-
lights of two machines going up the
mountain and was unable to see the
buggy until almost on top of it, and
too late to avoid the accident. :
National Male Quartette Entertained
Prisoners. :
The National Male quartette, which
opened the Lyceum course at the
court house last evening, rendered a
very entertaining program before five
hundred of the prisoners at Rockview
on Wednesday evening. This was ren-
dered entirely gratuitously, the secre-
tary of the Y. M.C. A. and Mr.James
Potter arranging same with superin-
tendent Stutzman. ®
The violin soloist, Wyman Moore,
played “Hejce Kadte,” a Hungarian
concerto by Jean Houbay, in a very
pleasing manner. Walter E. Munroe,
baritone and pianist, gave an amusing
pianologue, “Here Comes the Groom.”
dedicated to married men. The
quartette’s rendition of “On the Sea,”
by Dudley Buck, gave expression to
the excellent blending of the voices.
The saxophone solos by George Turn-
bull brought down the house. Way-
land Simons, as first tenor and imper-
sonator, gave somc most amusing
numbers. '
This is the first entertainment the
prisoners have enjoyed for some time,
and to their isolated lives it brought
a ray of sunshine. The performers
themselves enjoyed giving the enter-
tainment and are to be commended
for the spirit shown.

Mice Blamed for Fire at John B.
Payne Home. :
The new home of John B. Payne, on
east . Linn street, was damaged by a
fire, last Saturday morning, which
Mr. Payne blames on a short circuit
in the electric light wires caused by
mice chewing off the insulation.. At
least that is the only possible solu-
tion of the origin of the fire he can
discover. The fire started about 4:30
o'clock. Mr. Payne was awakened by
the smoke in his bed room. He jump-
ed out of bed and opened the door in-
to the hallway which was already fill-
ed with smoke. Hurriedly dressing
Mr. and Mrs. Payne took their two
children to a neighbors and sent in
an alarm of fire. Both companies
quickly responded and found the fire
in the cellar but before the flames
could be extinguished they had burn-
ed the joist and a hole through the
hardwood floor in one corner of the
cellar, and had burned up the stud-
ded wall of one side of the house to
the ceiling of the first floor. Inas-
much as it occurred at the opposite
side of the cellar from where the fur-
nace is located, the only possible
cause so far as can be determined is a
short circuit in the electric wires.
Brita Beckman’s Song Recital.
Grateful acknowledgements are due
the Woman’s club for the aesthetic de-
light afforded to the large audience
Tuesday evening in the Presbyterian
chapel, where Mrs. Beckman appeared
in a recital of “Folk Song and Play-
time Songs of Sweden,” assisted by
Miss Hasel at the piano.
The songs were introduced by a
short and interesting talk on the ori-
gin of the “Folk Song” and an expla-
nation of the picturesque costumes
worn by the two artists. Mrs. Beck-

Stock Perish in Flames that
Barn.
. The large barn on the W. Miles
| Walker farm, at Fairbrook station, in
Ferguson township, was totally de-
| stroyed by. fire on Monday night to-
| gether with four horses, six cows, two
pigs and the entire season’s crops of
wheat, oats, corn and hay as well as
most of the. farm implements. The
farm was occupied by M. C. Whee-
land and family and the. fire was dis-
Destroy
o’clock. She promptly awakened her
husband who rushed to the barn with-
out taking time to dress in the hope
of saying his live stock but when he
got there the entire lower portion of
the barn was already a seething mass
of flames and most of the stock over-
come by the dense smoke and fumes.
All he was able to save was several
hogs. Inasmuch as there had not
1 been any fire near the barn the prev-
ious day the only conclusion as to the
origin is that it must have been set on
fire by some person unknown.
Walker estimates the total loss at ap-
proximately $4,500, the barn, crops,
stock and implements being partially
insured, but not sufficient to cover the
loss.’
Men’s and Women’s Clothing Needed
for Rockview.
"A request has been made by the
chaplain of the Rockview penitentiary
for the following articles which will
be used by the prisoners in producing
a play for their entertainment on
Thanksgiving day: Two dozen pair
white stockings and bloomers; one
dozen pair women’s shoes and twenty
dresses 29 to 40. Also twelve men’s
suits and shirts. Any one having any
notify the Y. M. C. A,, and same will
be called for and forwarded.
A collection of books and magazines
will soon be made for the prisoner’s
reading and library. Keep this in
mind. Magazines and books may be
left at the Potter-Hoy Co., and taken
to Rockview by trucks coming in al-
most every day. Help improve the
condition of the inmates by giving
them good reading matter for idle
hours and Sundays.
Rockview Inmates to Give Minstrel
Show on Thanksgiving.
The inmates at the western peni-
tentiary at Rockview have such a di-
versified life that one is constrained
to wonder why every now and then
some of them try to escape. Of
course they must live up to the rules
in force there and are under restraint,
but they have out-door work and ex-
ercise and during the summer months
their baseball teams in the way of
sports. Only recently educational
classes were organized under the au-
spices of members of the faculty of
The Pennsylvania State College so
that any of the inmates who wish to
improve their opportunity can take
up a course of study in any one of a
dozen subjects. And now they have
organized a minstrel club and some
twenty or more inmates are practie-
ing for an entertainment to be given
in the big dining hall on Thanksgiv-
ing evening.

Decker valley in the foothills of the Sev-
en mountains, was in Bellefonte last ¥ri-
day and in his official capacity as jury
commissioner helped to draw the jury for
the December term of court. This, in it-
self, is a minor matter but the fact that
Mr. Decker is past eighty-nine years of
age and is making arrangements to take
his annual deer hunt this winter, as usu-
al, is an altogether different story. Deck-
er valley is one of the best hunting sec-
tions in the Seven mountains, Deer are
so plentiful in that section that’ they are
about as familiar a sight in the fields as
cattle, so that Mr. Decker can, literally
speaking, step from his. hearthstone right
into good deer territory. His entire life
has been spent in that section and very

known was the fellow who was in here
vesterday “ravin” around because Dick
Taylor didn't get more votes.
