Nathan Kofman’s offer of a ton
of coal free to the first farmer to drive
onto his new scales last Saturday ev-
idently was not taken seriously by the
farmers within reach of Bellefonte,
as not a single one appeared to claim
the prize. Of course, under the cir-
cumstances Mr. Kofman was not
obliged to give away any of his coal.
——The members of Troop B and
the Headquarters Troop of the Na-
tional Guard put in a busy three days
at their camp in Curtin’s gap over the

their sham battle. The boys return-
ed to Bellefonte on Sunday afternoon.

Logan street, are being congratulat-
ed by their friends because the stork

Postmaster and Mrs. John IL.
Knisely spent last week at the Ma-
son’s camp, near Snow Shoe Intersec-
tion, and on Saturday night entertain-
ed at dinner the entire postoffice force,

Rockview penitentiary a few days ago
after serving a four years’ sentence,
is proving his expertness by painting
the Montgomery & Co. advertising
signs in and near Bellefonte. A sam-
ple of his work can be seen on the
island above the falls in Spring
creek. "It is” painted in three colors,
all free-hand work and done in a few
hours.
——DBeginning next Tuesday, July

siderably later. The westbound ship
will be due at the Bellefonte field at
12:30 o’clock and the eastbound at 2
o’clock. All planes will stop in Belle-
fonte as usual. : i
——Last Friday Morris Miller mo-

and took his father, Mr. Isaac Miller,
over to that famous and historic re-
treat of Walter Gherrity, where he
will spend some time exchanging
hunting stories with Walter and the
various people who make his place
their headquarters while troutfishing
in that section, and incidentally watch
the deer that are in the habit of using
his farm buildings as rubbing posts.
a ——The home grown strawberry is
now coming into market and from all
reports will be a big crop. The great-
est trouble will be the picking of the
fruit, as the farmers are so far be-
hind with their regular farm work
that the extra labor of picking straw-
berries will be almost a hardship.
School boys who are looking for odd
jobs to do during vacation might find
employment picking berries for the
various growers in the county.
——Miss Helen Beezer, now in
charge of the Beezer meat market, is
solving her own ice problem by the in-
stallation of a refrigerating plant in
the basement of the Benner building.
It will not only assure her of a more
even temperature in the big refrigera-
tor but will also do away with the
handling of ice and obviate all danger
of an ice shortage just when it is most
needed. The market has also been
improved by the installation of nickle
and glass cases and counters.
is Confiscated.
About a year ago a man who claim-
ed to be R. E. Patterson, of Cleveland,
Ohio, leased the John Haugh farm
near Scotia, claiming that he had lo
get out in the open on account of his
health. His household consisted of
himself and wife and a hired man, but
because of the fact that little farm-
ing was done and Mr. Patterson made
frequent trips to Tyrone in a big au-
tomobile created more or less suspi-
cion and finally an enforcement offi-
cer appeared in that locality and did a
little sleuthing. The result was that
two weeks ago he went before "Squire
I. J. Dreese, of Lemont, and swore out
a search and seizure warrant.
The same night he swore in as dep-
uties policeman Mingle, of State Col-
lege; Harris Holmes, Fred Resides,
George Fulton and Ernest Hoy, also
of that borough, and accompanied by
’Squire Dreese, went to the Haugh
farm in two automobiles. No one was
at home when they arrived and they
lay in wait for the occupants of the
house. In less than half an hour Mr.
and Mrs. Patterson approached in
their big car but being a little suspi-
cious they stopped some distance from
the house and Mrs. Patterson got out
to investigate. She had gone but a
few steps from the machine when she
evidently discovered the officers be-
cause she quickly turned around, ran
back and jumped into the car, the man
stepped on ine gas and the car sped
away in the darkness.
Several of the officers jumped in a
car and gave chase but had not gone
far when they had a blowout and lost
some time changing tires. They con-
tinued the chase, however, across the
Barrens and down the White Hall
road past Pennsylvania Furnace. Near
Franklinville they found the Patter-
son car which had cast a tire and been
abandoned, but no trace could be se-
cured of the moonshiners.
A search of the Haugh house re-
sulted in finding a most complete
moonshining vlant in one of the sec-
ond floor bedrooms, which included a
thirty gallon still, three fifty gallon
barrels of corn mash and three quarts
of moonshine. Owing to the frequent
trips Patterson made to Tyrone it is
believed that all his product was dis-
posed of there. The still, mash and
moonshine were confiscated and turn-
ed over to the custody of ’Squire
Dreese.
Altoona Wants to Send Airmail to
Bellefonte.
Inquiry as to whether or not Al-
toona may send her mail for airplane
delivery to Bellefonte for loading in-
stead of to Cleveland is to be made
of the federal department, by post-
master J. E. Brumbaugh, according to
Wednesday’s Altoona Tribune.
If this is allowed by the depart-
ment, it will mean a dispatch five or
six hours earlier than if the mail were
sent overland to Cleveland, a seven
hours’ trip, according to postmaster
Brumbaugh.
With airplane mail service in oper-
ation—it will start July 1, the time of
service between New York and the
west coast will be shortened from a
minimum of four days to about a day
and a half. The one deterrent factor,
however, is the expense. To send a
letter from the east to the west coast
will require 24 cents in postage.
The initial airplane mail service
bulletin from the department states
that all mail from Pennsylvania is to
be sent to Cleveland and there placed
on the mail plane from the State.
Only airplane mail collected in Belle-
fonte will be dispatched by plane
from this State.

Logan Firemen will Picnic on the
Fourth.
It has been many a year since Belle-
fonte has had a regular, old-time
Fourth of July celebration, and the
coming national holiday promises to
be a very quiet one here. The Logan
fire company will hold its annual pic-
nic at Hecla park and it is thither the
most of the people will wend their
way. And the fire laddies deserve
all the patronage possible. They have
arranged a good program of amuse-
ments which will include various
races, a ball game between two teams
of the Centre county league, band
concerts and dancing during the after-
noon and evening. The Keystone Si-
rens, a Williamsport orchestra, will
furnish the music for the dancing.
A big picnic will also be held at the
Moravian park, in Snow Shoe, while
residents of State College are arrang-
ing to celebrate the Fourth in a pa-
triotic manner. Many Bellefonte peo-
ple are likely to go into camp on Fish-
ing creek at that time while others
will motor to the mountains for the
day.
To Correspondents.
While the “Watchman” will be is-
sued next week as usual every effort
will be made to get to press as early
as possible, and for this reason all
correspondence should reach this of-
fice not later than Tuesday. Any late
news items can be covered by tele-
phone. By giving this your careful
consideration you will confer a favor
on everybody in this office.
—— When it comes to consistent,
every evening entertainment the Scen-
ic is the only dependable place in
Bellefonte. Open every evening in
the week except Sunday and no bet-
ter programs of motion pictures are
shown anywhere than at the Scenic.
The only way to see all the good ones
is by being a regular. No need to
stay at home because of hot weather,
{ as the Scenic is always comfortable.
| Moonshiners Evade Capture, but Still ! ——Martha Washington Chocolate,
Russ-Bell soda fountain. 26-1t
——The Boy Scouts of Bellefonte
will hold a big festival on the grounds
in front of the High school building
this (Friday) evening. Everything
; seasonable will be on sale and the
Odd Fellows band will furnish music.
As the Scouts are workng to get to-
gether a camping fund the patronage
of the people of Bellefonte and vicin-
ity will be appreciated.
——Figuratively speaking, the bus-
iness portion of Bellefonte will soon
bloom like the rose. Kiwanis has in-
stalled flower boxes on all the lamp
- posts from the railroad to the Dia-
mond and from Bishop street to How-
ard street, and when the flowers which
are to be planted therein come in
bloom it will doubtless add to the
beauty of the town. The Boy Scouts
have agreed to see that the flowers
receive all the care and attention they
may need.
——The Academy swimming pool
on Hughes field is proving a popular
place with the young people of Belle-
fonte during this torrid weather.
Constantly running water keeps the
pool clear and pure and a dip in its
depth is very refreshing. An attend-
ant is constantly in charge and the
pool is open morning, afternoon and
evening, the small charge of 25 cents
being made for each period. Bathing
suits are also kept in the dressing
rooms and will be rented to those who
don’t have any, at a small fee.
A get-out-the-vote caravan,
composed of members of the Pennsyl-
vania League of Women voters, will
spend the month of October touring
the State for the purpose of inducing
all women to get out to the polls in
November and vote. The entourage
will travel in automobiles and October
8th is the date when they are expect-
ed to visit Lock Haven, Bellefonte and
State College. While it is supposed
to be non-political it has all the ear-
marks of being arranged in the inter-
est of the Republican candidates.
——From all reports the berry crop
in Centre county this season will be
the biggest in some years. This in-
cludes raspberries, blackberries and
huckleberries, although the crops will
be a little later this year than usual,
owing to the long period of cold
weather. Many of the mountains in
the county are covered with huckle-
berry bushes and in good seasons they
afford remunerative employment to
scores of women and men who pick
then for market. The berries are
shipped to nearby cities and command
a good price.
——Last Thursday night G. Max
Gamble and Russell Beezer drove to
Lock Haven to take in the sights of
the carnival and just as they were
passing the Thos. Beaver property on
their way home one of the Hon. Tom’s
pinto ponies ran out of the driveway
right in front of the car. The animal
was hit with sufficient force as to
break its leg while the shock of the
impact threw Mr. Beezer against the
framework of the top of the car, re-
sulting in the breaking of his right
arm about midway between the elbow
and shoulder. The pinto pony had to
be shot.
——-Sixty-five members of the New-
port, Perry county, Outing club visit-
ed Bellefonte last Thursday and had
luncheon at the Brockerhoff house.
They were on a three day’s tour and
following luncheon they visited the
big spring and took a look at the trout
in Spring creek. Leaving Bellefonte
they journeyed to the new western
penitentiary at Rockview, having
previously made arrangements to in-
spect that institution, then motored to
State College to look over that big
educational plant before continuing
their journey to Sunbury, where they
spent the night.
——The concluding testimony in the
condemnation proceedings brought
against the Millheim Turnpike com-
pany and the Nittany, Bald Eagle and
Brushvalley Turnpike company, in an
effort to have the last remaining toll
roads in Centre county vacated, was
taken before John Love, as master,
and a jury of three last Friday and
Saturday. The attorneys interested
in the case included Harry Keller, N.
B. Spangler and S. D. Gettig Esgs.,
and the testimony is so voluminous
that the viewers, who composed the
jury, will take some time to deliberate
before rendering a decision.
——R. Russell Blair was the vic-
tim of a peculiar accident last Satur-
day evening, as the result of which he
has been housed up most of the week
at his home on east Linn street.
While out in a camp he had been bit-
ten a number of times by masquitoes,
which showed in red blotches on his
face and neck. Some of his friends
advised him to bathe the bites with
ammonia and they would soon disap-
pear. Consequently on Saturday
evening he took the ammonia and
went out in the yard to apply it. Re-
moving the cork he held his thumb
over the neck of the bottle and shook
it to liven up the gaseous mixture.
When he removed his thumb there
was an explosion of ammonia gas
which threw the liquid into his face
and eyes. The lawn hose was on at
the time and dropping the bottle he
turned the hose right into his face
washing off as much of the ammonia
as possible, but some of the liquid got
into his eyes and burned blisters half
as big as a pea on the inside of the
eyelids. Fortunately the eyeballs
were not injured in the least.
Valley.
About two o’clock Wednesday after-
noon a terrific storm swept through
Little Nittany valley laying low
fences, uprooting trees and seriously
damaging buildings.
It reached the height of its fury
just south-west of Jacksonville where
the big farm barn of W. E. Waite was
moved five feet off its foundation and
the attached straw shed entirely de-
molished. The chicken house on the
farm was wrecked and the garage
turned completely over. With Ford
luck the fliv. in the garage ran out on
the wind to safety while the Buick
was turned upside down.
Just east of the Waite place, on the
Al Pifer farm, the barn was greatly
damaged, one end having been blown
in.
STORM SWEPT ACROSS INTO BIG
NITTANY.
Taking a narrow swath the storm
swept over the ridge into big Nittany,
taking a south-easterly course, struck
the Jacob Crow farm on the state
highway a mile east of Hublersburg
and uprooted every tree but one in
the orchard.
On this side of Nittany the farm
barn on the George Harshberger
place was unroofed and trees blown
down.
The door was blown off the Dory
Gunsallus barn and his orchard suf-
fered considerable damage.
The barn on the Frank Long farm,
formerly occupied by Joseph Emerick
was partially unroofed.
Bellefonte Takes Two More.
The Bellefonte ball team gathered
in two more games last week, defeat-
ing Centre Hall on Thursday by the
score of 6 to 2 and putting it over
State College on Saturday 11 to 5.
State won from Millheim on Thursday
by the score of 5 to 4, while Millheim
defeated Centre Hall on Saturday 6
to 1.
Harshbarger continues his good
-work in the box and is backed up by
a team of heavy swatters, which is
evidenced from the fact that Belle-
fonte’s batting average is .298.
Martin was compelled to retire
from Thursday’s game due to illness,
but before doing so he contributed a
single, triple and two runs to the
Bellefonte budget. Gingerich had the
unique record of three sacrifices out
of four trips to the plate, and also
contributed a sterling catch of H.
Emery’s Texas leaguer. Weber laced
two wallops to right on Saturday that
any one but a draft horse would have
made homers, but Johnny ran too
much in one place and only reached
| third on each swat.
Saturday’s game was rather loose
due to adverse weather conditions. A
drizzling rain fell almost continuous-
ly during the first five innings, mak-
ing the ball exceedingly heavy. Only
about eigthy dyed-in-the-wool fans
braved the moisture to view the pas-
time, which hardly seems enough.
Following is the standing of the clubs:
Ww. L. B.C.
Bellefonte .....a... 7 1 87
Miltheim ........... 5 4 556
State College ....... 3 5 375
Centre Hall ........ 2 7 222
Tomorrow State will play at Centre
Hall and Bellefonte at Millheim, while
the next games will be on the Fourth
when Millheim will play a double
header at State College and Centre
Hall a double header at Bellefonte.
Architect Wright Expected Here
Next Week.
H. S. Moore, chairman of the build-
ing committee of the Centre Coun-
ty hospital, states that there are a
number of preliminary details to be
determined and plans prepared before
the actual work of construction can
be started. He has communicated
with architect Wright, the New York
hospital expert who some months ago
prepared the preliminary plans for
the remodeling of the hospital, and
that gentleman expects to be in Belle-
fonte and meet with the board some
time next week. Previous engage-
ments prevented his coming this
week. The new board wishes to as-
sure all contributors to the hospital
fund that there will be no unneces-
sary delays in starting the work, and
as little time lost as possible. All
contributors who have not paid the
first installment on their pledges are
requested to do so at the earliest
convenient date, so the pledge list can
be brought up to date.

blanks have been received by the Red
Cross and various American Legion
posts in Centre county, and arrange-
ments have been made for a commit-

Ford Coupe Stolen at Pleasant Gap.
On Tuesday night while several
persons were watching to detect the
person or persons who have lately
been stealing parts from other peo-
ple’s cars somebody ran a worn-out
Chevrolet into the garage of Mr. Rip-
ka and ran Ripka’s new Ford coupe
out and off to parts as yet unknown.
