effect that the McClain block, adjoin-
ing this office, has been bought by
persons intending to open ‘an agency
there for the Packard car is without

Our good friend, Jerry Dono-
‘van, celebrated his eighty-second
birthday anniversary on Friday and it
is hard to picture him as an octoge-
narian. The writer has known him
for almost forty years and he is one
of the few men whom passing years
have touched with a kindly hand.
Notwithstanding his years he still
takes daily care of twenty-five head
of dairy cattle and does it as thor-
oughly as ever, though he does admit
that it fakes him a little longer to do
it now than it used to years ago.
~—~According to a report from the
West Jersey Presbytery unusual suc-
«cess is crowning the work of Rev. Da-
wid R. Evans in his new pastorate at
‘Kearney, N. J., whither he went from
Bellefonte last September. In Octo-
ter he had 37 accessions to his church
roll of membership and in January
140, while the Sunday school has in-
creased from 160 to 360 active mem-
bers, all without any evangelistic
campaign. A school of missions will
be conducted this month looking for-
‘ward to many more accessions at Eas-
ter time.
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Barr cel-
ebrated her eightieth birthday anni-
versary, on Friday, at the home of
her son, W. C. Barr, in Tyrone. Mrs.
Barr, whose maiden name was Stiver
and who was born and grew to young
womanhood not far from Centre Hall,
Centre county, has many friends in
that locality who will learn with in-
“terest that she still enjoys good
health and takes an active interest in
the affairs of the day. She recently
+ attended every service during evan-
. gelistic meetings held at the First
- Presbyterian church, of Tyrone, of
“which she is a member,
H. E. Van Norman, former
professor of dairy husbandry at The
Pennsylvania State College and well
known in this community and
throughout the State, has accepted an
executive position with the National
Dairy Association, of which he has
been president since 1910, and will
now be located in Chicago. Since
leaving Penn State he has been vice-
director of the Agricultural Experi-
ment station and dean of the Univer-
sity Farm School, University of Cal-
ifornia. On leave of absence he spent
some time in Rome and for the past
year has been in Washington, D. C.,
where, as president of the World's
Dairy Congress Association, he plan-
ned and accomplished the dairy con-
gress held in Washington in October,
the most stupendous affair of its kind
ever Held in this country and the pro-

ing and allied subjects.
CANDIDATES MUST PLEDGE.
Citizenship Conference Will not Ac-
cept Equivocal Statements
On Law Enforcement.
Though rainy, inclement weather
ushered in Tuesday, February 6th,
and lasted throughout the day it did
not prevent the earnest, enthusiastic
gathering of many representative cit-
izens from various parts of the coun-
ty to consider the all-important top-
ics of law-enforcement and Christian
| citizenship at the special meeting call-
ed for the purpose by the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union and the
Anti-Saloon League.
The meeting scheduled was an all-
day conference held in the Y. M. C.
A., Bellefonte, from 10 a. m. to 5 p.
m., with intermission only for lunch-
eon and followed the lines of the Na-
tional and State meetings of the same
import.
After singing and devotional exer-
cises the chairman, Miss Rebecca
Rhoads, president of the county W. C.
T. U., explained the purpose of the
meeting and introduced Rev. E. E.
McKelvey, of Bellefonte, president of
the Ministerium, who dwelt upon the
necessity for arousing all the Chris-
tian forces to a deeper realization of
their duty and graphically depicted
the power that is theirs when once
aroused, that nothing could then pre-
vent righteous rule and an utter rout-
ing of evil—if but the will to do be
exercised.
Dr. Irving L. Foster, of State Col-
lege, president of the Sunday School
Association of Centre county, follow-
ed with a most forceful appeal for
more definite instruction, and longer
than the now fifteen minute period in
the Sunday schools to the study of
the Bible truths concerning reverence
for authority and obedience to all law,
especially that of love of God and
one’s neighbor. “Obedience to law is
liberty,” he quoted, and spoke of the
serious menace of the barring from
the public schools of our country of
the reading of the Bible. It is abso-
lutely forbidden in twelve States, in
thirty it is optional; in six (of which
Pennsylvania is one) ten verses may
be read daily but must be without
comment.
Attorney J. K. Johnston, of Belle-
fonte, president of the Centre County
Civic committee, elicited much ap-
plause by his practical remarks and
exposition of correct and faulty in-
formation concerning the collecting of
evidence and reporting of law-viola-
tions—unsigned letters of alleged in-
formation being valueless—fearless-
ness and willingness to co-operate to
the limit essential.
Important announcement of hav-
ing secured the promise of the famous
head of the State constabulary, Major
Lynn Adams, as the speaker for a
monster mass meeting being planned
for March 14th, in the court house,
Bellefonte, aroused great enthusiasm.
Promises of hearty co-operation in
working up this big meeting all over
the county between now and then
were enthusiastically pledged. Two
noted professional singers will likely
also be a drawing card for this big
event.
At the afternoon session Rev.
Thompson, of Johnstown, district su-
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon
league, was the main speaker, giving
much practical advice along legisla-
tive lines. He was ably assisted in
this by Mrs. Beach, W. C. T. U. coun-
ty superintendent of citizenship, and
those participating in the general
discussion following. Questions were
asked as to how to find out the exact
status of candidates on the dry issue
—warning sounded not to depend on
mere words or pledges for “law-en-
forcement,” public declaration of un-
equivocally “dry” attitude essential.
Motion carried unanimously that a
committee be appointed to wait upon
candidates for State Legislature and
if results are not satisfactory another
candidate to be selected. Motion also
carried unanimously to have said
committee ascertain attitude of candi-
dates to other offices also and widely
disseminate knowledge thus obtain-
ed.
AFTERNOON MEETING.
A pleasing feature of the after-
noon was the introduction of the new
sheriff of Centre county who spoke
briefly but convincingly of his deter-
mination to enforce the law absolute-
ly and his appreciation of the co-op-
eration of the good citizens. He em-
phasized, as did Mr. Johnston in the
morning, the necessity of properly
signed communications being sent
him. Motion carried unanimously
that a vote of thanks be given Sheriff
Taylor for his attitude in encourag-
ing the holding of religious services
in the jail. Added to this was a ris-
ing vote of confidence in the new
Sheriff.
The new district attorney, Mr. Ar-
thur Dale, was on the program but
greatly regretted his inability to be
present owing to a death in his im-
mediate household the very morning
of the conference.
Revs. Dingman and Wagner partic-
ipated helpfully and Mr. Aplin, sec-
retary of the Y. M. C. A., spoke feel-
ingly on the necessity for more home
training on law-observance, advocat-
ing the family altar. James R.
Hughes, headmaster of the Academy,
pledged the support of his school to
the great issue. The many patriotic
women present took part freely
throughout the day in the general dis-
cussions. The paramount duty of
serving upon juries was stressed-—
never to evade this.
Plans were made to extend these
conferences to each of the larger
towns of the county.
Announcement was made of the ad-
dress to be given in tke court house,
February 21st, by Hon. John Mec-
Sparran, Master of the State Grange,
at a public meeting under the auspic-
es of the Anti-Saloon League, after
which, following the Mizpah benedic-
tion, the first Centre county citizen-
ship conference stood adjourned.
Couple Celebrated Their
Golden Wedding.
On Tuesday the comfortable home
of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Coble, at
Lemont, was the scene of a very hap-
py gathering of family and friends to
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
their marriage.
The festivities began at 10:30 in
the morning and continued without
Lemont
interruption until 4:30 in the after-
noon, an elaborate dinner for which
fifty-one covers were laid, being one
of the many pleasant incidents of the
day. Aside from the bride and groom
themselves probably the person of
next most interest on this auspicious
occasion was Mr. John R. Williams,
of Lemont, who is the only living per-
son who witnessed the original mar-
riage of the couple half a century
ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Coble are both in good
health and greatly enjoyed the anni-
versary. Among the many gifts
showered upon them were $75 in gold
and a bouquet of fifty golden daffo-
dils.
All of their children and grand-
children were present as follows: Mr.
and Mrs. William Coble and family of
five, of Lemont; Mr. and Mrs. W. F.
Thompson and son Richard, of Pine
Grove Mills; Mr. and Mrs. Orie
Barnes and three children and Mrs.
Harry Coble and three children, of
State College; Mrs. Margaret Waite
and three children and Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Coble and two children, of
Bellefonte. Other grand-children and
the one great grand-child were Mr.
and Mrs. Edgar Hess and Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Gearhart and their daugh-
ter from Pine Grove Mills.
Other guests were Mrs. Lydia
Clark, of Lock Haven; Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Halderman, of Renovo; Mr.
and Mrs. John Shuey and Mrs. Alice
Williams, of Lemont; Mr. and Mrs.
Clayton Etters, of Oak Hall, and Rev.
and Mrs. Kirkpatrick and their son,
from Centre Hall.

Jack Wilkinson Hurt in Auto Accident
Jack Wilkinson, six year old son of
prothonotary and Mrs. Roy Wilkin-
son, was painfully injured, last Fri-
day afternoon, when he was struck
by an automobile driven by Mr. Rob-
inson, of Milesburg, and rolled along
the paved surface of Linn street some
twenty or more feet. Jack had just
gone home from school and met Mel-
vin Fore who asked him to take
a ride in his express wagon. The
boys went to the top of the hill at
Curtin street and coasted down Spring
street to Linn where they were run
into by the Robinson machine. Ac-
cording to eye witnesses the latter
was not running over ten or twelve
miles an hour and when he hit the
boys the Fore lad was thrown to one
side while Jack Wilkinson was caught
under one of the front wheels and
rolled along the roadway. Fore was
uninjured but Jack was badly cut and
lacerated on the head and face. For-
tunately no bones were broken so that
no serious consequences are antici-
pated.

St. Valentine On Our Street.
When good St. Valentine wanders forth,
To scatter love and joy,
He seems so much like Santa Claus
That every girl and boy
Must hasten to the candy shops,
Or else, with flowers sweet,
Each sends his “love” this message:
“St. Valentine's on our street.”
So when the faithful postman
Comes, a-tapping at your door,
And hands to you a package
Like you've never seen before;
T'will be a true and wondrous sign,
If big, or tiny and neat,
That some one loves you very much
“For St. Valentine's on your street.”
And all the time, I charge you,
Hold fast to what he sends
Though the good Saint comes but yearly
His love thoughts never end.
And, again, he’s just like “Santa”
Whom daily each may meet
In neighbor, friend or stranger
Through “St. Valentine on our street.”

COUNCIL ELECTS NEW CHIEF
OF POLICE.
Ex-Sheriff Dukeman Chosen at Sala-
ry of $125 per Month.
Bellefonte borough council broke
all former precedents, at the regular
meeting on Monday evening, when the
recommendation of one member of
the Fire and Police committee was en-
dorsed in conflict with the other two
members and ex-sheriff Harry Duke-
man was elected chief of police at a
salary of $125 per month, which is an
increase of $35 per month over any
salary previously paid. The motion
that Mr. Dukeman be elected was
made by Benjamin Bradley and sec-
onded by William Brouse. Mr. Flack,
chairman of the committee, protested
that the motion was out of order be-
cause there was no vacancy on the
force. Mr. Cunningham, the other
member of the committee, protested
against the motion because to consid-
er it would be setting aside all for-
mer precedents of council in consid-
ering only such applicants as had
been recommended by a majority of
the committee. Mr. Cunningham also
objected to any increase in salary over
the present figure of $90 per month.
On a demand for the question, how-
ever, the motion was put and Bad-
ger, Bradley, Brouse, Dunlap, Hazel
and Emerick voted for the election of
Mr. Dukeman, while Cunningham and
Flack voted against it. Having re-
ceived a majority of the votes of
council Mr. Dukeman was declared
elected. At the opening of the coun-
cilmanic session the secretary read an
application from William Curry for
appointment as a police officer, but
the application was given no consid-
eration.
The Water committee reported the , burg by the death of her grand-son, Rob-
purchase of a carload of coal, a por-
tion of which was stored at the water
works and the balance sold, $113.17
being turned in as proceeds from the
coal. The committee also reported
$249.42 collected on the 1922 water
duplicate.
The Finance committee presented
the treasurer's report showing a bal-
ance in bank of $12,644.04, and re-
quested the renewal of two notes for
$1,000 each, which was authorized.
The committee also recommended the
approval of the bonds of overseers of
the poor Alexander Morrison and
Thomas W. Fleming.
On recommendation of the Fire and
Police committee J. T. Storch, Homer
P. Barnes, G. Mac Gamble and Ellis
Hines were elected drivers for the Lo-
gan pumper and George Carpeneto,
Basil Doll, Charles Saxion and Ralph
Moerschbacher for the Undines.
Borough manager J. D. Seibert
stated that if it is the intention of
council to open up north Water street
a terra cotta pipe ought to be laid in
the old canal where the fill is being
made. He stated that it would re-
quire about forty feet of fifteen inch
pipe. The matter was referred to the
Street committee and borough engi-
neer with power.
Bills to the amount of $1501.44
were approved for payment after
which Mr. Emerick made a motion
that council go into executive session
to consider the proposition for the
purchase of the Ulsh & Bashoar mill
property, and the reporters were in-
vited to leave. Just why Mr. Emer-
ick deemed it necessary to discuss in
secret session the possible expendi-
ture of many thousands of dollars of
the people’s money may never be di-
vulged but the “Watchman” is of the
opinion that everything in connection
with the proposed deal, whether it
goes through or not, should be open
and above board.
Farm House Burned.
The old farm house on the Me-
Knight farm near Hunter’s park was
totally destroyed by fire on Saturday
evening, nothing being left but the
ashes. The house was occupied by
David Casper and family, and accord-
ing to report Mr. Casper claims he
smelled smoke on Wednesday and tore
a hole in the side of the house and
deluged the place with water. On
Saturday evening the family, which
consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Casper and
seven children, were away from home.
At a quarter of six people who passed
the house declare there was no evi-
dence of fire while at 6:10 Thomas
Huey saw a reflection from a fire and
telephoned Cy Huey who investigated
and discovered that the McKnight
house was all in flames. Neighbors
rushed to the place and were able to
save all the furniture on the first
floor but nothing from the second
floor. The house was insured for five
hundred dollars*while the Caspers had
no insurance on their furniture. The
house will not be rebuilt, at present,
at least.

Facts About the Bald Eagle Trail.
Notwithstanding the fact that con-
siderable publicity has been given to
the concerted efforts being made by
the people of Bald Eagle valley to
have the main public road through the
valley incorporated as a state high-
way, many people are skeptic as to
the ultimate results. The “Watch-
man” has it on pretty reliable author-
ity that records now in the State
Highway Department offices, at Har-
risburg, show that a piece of public
road to be known as the “Bald Eagle
Trail,” running from Snow Shoe In-
tersection to Bald Eagle, where it will
connect with the state highway to Ty-
rene, is to be started in 1925 and com-
pleted not later than 1929. The Blair
county portion of the road, some four
miles, will be built this year. State
Senator W. I. Betts has interested
himself in this piece of highway and
will do everything possible to aid the
local committees recently appointed to
take the matter up with the Highway
Department.
