Musser, of Indiana, Pa., was the honor guest at a testimonial banquet given by officials of the Clear- field Coal corporation at Twin Gables, near Indiana, last Thursday evening. Mr. Musser, who is a native of Centre county, has been connected with the above company over twenty years and is now vice president and general manager. ——Dr. M. A. Kirk this week re- ceived a basket of grapes from his brother, Thomas Kirk, of Corpus Christi, Tex., which excels grapes grown in our northern climate so far as the number of grapes on a bunch are concerned, although they do not have the flavor or juiciness of the northern grape. However, a few bushels of them would come in quite handy to the man who makes his own grape juice. Mervin Hockenberry, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hockenberry, of Prossertown, is recovering from quite serious injuries he sustained when struck by an automobile on the road near his home. His right arm was broken and the bone torn from the socket at the shoulder, in addi- tion to cuts and bruises about the head and face. He was taken to the hospital where his injuries were prop- erly attended to and later was taken home. It is alleged thatit was a Coleville car that hit the boy. The thirty-ninth annual Luth- eran reunion will be held at Lake- mont park, Altoona, on Thursday, July 24th, and members of that re- ligious faith everywhere, as well as the public at large, are invited to at- tend. The speakers for the day in- clude Rev. C. M. Jacobs, D. D., of Philadelphia, and Rev. G. Albert Get- ty, D D., of York. The Loysville Or- phans’ band will furnish music. Din- ner and supper will be served to those not wishing to take baskets, by the ladies of Temple Lutheran church. The old Fry homestead at Fairbrook was the scene of a happy clan gathering yesterday as a farve- well to Dr. Hugh L. Fry and family and also in celebration of the eighty- first anniversary of Capt. W. H. Fry. The latter’s grandson Ellwood was also an interested participant, as it was his anniversary. The big feature was the dinner served on the lawn at five o'clock, and which was sumptu- ous enough to satisfy most any ap- petite. As a memento of the occasion Capt. Fry received a handsome gold watch as a gift from his children. ——Judge Trexler, of the Superior court, has reversed the decision of the common pleas court of Clinton county which recently granted a divorce to Thomas F. Kelly from his wife, Mar- tha E. Kelly, on the grounds of cruel and barbarous treatment. Before her marriage Mrs. Kelly was Martha E. Price, a daughter of the late David Price, of Bellefonte. Their early mar- ried life was spent in Snow Shoe but later they moved to Mill Hall. The couple had eleven children, nine of whom are living. Mr. Kelly is a well known coal operator and has been at Hot Springs, Ark., for several months for the benefit of his health. Automobilists contemplating attending the business men’s picnic at Hecla park on August 14th will be in- terested in learning that there will be no charge this year for parking cars, as has been the case in past years. This, in itself, will be an at- tractive feature, but an all day pro- gram of sports and amusements has also been arranged. In the morning the Centre Hall and State College teams of the Centre county baseball league will play, and in the afternoon Miltheint and Bellefonte. Boxing ‘bouts and various races will also be held in the afternoon. The Penn-Pat dance orchestra, of Johnstown, will furnish the music for the dancing in the pavilion, afternoon and evening. Any person who does not care to take a basket can secure meals on the grounds, as a well known caterer will be in charge. The first time in four years rain insurance proved a good invest- ment for the Logan fire company, of Bellefonte, on the occasion of their picnic at Hecla park on the Fourth of July. Most everybody will recall how hard it rained the night of July 3rd and the morning of the 4th so that hundreds of people who otherwise would have attended the picnic re- mained at home. As has been their custom the past four years the Lo- gans invested in rain insurance, pay- ing a premium of $91.60 for $500 in- surance. But in order to win the rain- £all between nine o’clock a. m. and four o’clock p. m. would have to meas- ure one-tenth of an inch; and it did. In fact it measured eleven and two- tenths one hundreths of an inch. It was a narrow margin but enough to get them the insurance. With their insurance and the receipts at the pic- nie the company cleared in the neigh- borhood of $800, which is about the average of a good picnic day. NEW JERSEY WOMAN’S THRIL- : LING EXPERIENCE. Lost in Wilds of Alleghenies and Sleep Disturbed by Rattlesnake. When Miss Catherine Webster re- turns to her home in Plainfield, N. J., she will have a thrilling story to re- late of her experience in one of the wildest sections of the Allegheny mountains, last Friday, and how a monster rattlesnake disturbed her sleep and she was compelled to make her bed out on the ground. Miss Webster is a guest at the home of Mrs. T. B. Budinger and daughters, in Snow Shoe, and on Fri- day the Misses Blanche and Helen Budinger took her on a trout fishing expedition on Wallace run. Any per- son who knows the Wallace run sec- tion realizes that it is about one of the wildest spots in the Alleghenies. Miss Webster does not indulge in the sport of trout fishing and while the Misses Budinger were busily engaged in an endeavor to entice the speckled beauties she wandered around at will, taking in the grandeur of the moun- tain scenery. Under the impression that one of the fisherwomen had gone up stream she headed that way, walking faster and faster. Noontime came and some- what faint with hunger she naturally traveled faster in the hope of over- taking some one, but the afternoon passed and she did not see a soul. Realizing that she was lost she re- tained sufficient presence of mind to follow the stream and toward even- ing came to a fisherman’s cabin at the junction of Rocky run with Wallace run. She promptly inspect- ed the cabin and fortunately found some food there, left by the owners for just such emergencies and she was thus able to partially satisfy her hun- ger. In the meantime the Misses Budin- ger missed their guest about ten o'clock in the morning and promptly set about the work of finding her. They called and called and searched every nook and cranny in the vicinity of where she had last been seen, never thinking that she might have wander- ed upstream. They kept up their search until five o’clock in the even- ing then made their way out of the mountains to Runville, and well-nigh frantic, appealed for help. W. H. Garman came to Bellefonte and sent out a call for a searching party and sheriff Taylor, members of Troop B and Boy Scouts responded. Word was also telephoned to Snow Shoe and one hundred and more men and boys from that place went out. The Bellefonte party took up the search where the young woman was last seen and shoe prints in the soft ground indicated she had gone up Wallace run. Searchers made their way upstream as fast as possible and it was eleven o’clock or later when they reached the Rocky run cabin and found Miss Webster lying on the ground outside the cabin fast asleep. She told her searchers that she had tried to sleep in the cabin but the bats made such a funny noise she could not sleep, so she took an old blanket and went outside and made her bed on the ground. An investiga- tion revealed the fact that what she considered bats was a four foot rat- tlesnake curled up on a rafter right above where she had first laid down, and it was the snake’s rattling that annoyed her. The snake was killed and Miss Webster safely piloted out of the mountains none the worse for her adventure. Bellefonte Silk Mill Closed, Other Plants Curtail Operations. The Bellefonte throwing plant of the J. C. and C. K. Eagle silk mills company was closed down on Satur- day and by Monday morning rumors were rampant that the plant was to be dismantled of its machinery and the building sold. This is positively not correct, The plant was closed be- cause of the unusual depression in the silk business at the present time. In addition to closing the throwing plant in Bellefonte the Eagle compa- ny also closed two weaving plants. Mr. C. J. Weitzel, general superin- tendent of the Bellefonte plant, moved back to Shamokin last week and his home on Lamb street, purchased less than a year ago from William H. Garman, is offered for sale. Mr. Rumberger, assistant to Mr. Weitzel, will remain in Bellefonte as general supervisor of the plant here while the regular night watchman will contin- ue on duty as usual. The shut-down of the plant will continue as long as the depression in the silk industry lasts, but as soon as the business im- proves to justify it the mill will re- open. The closing of the silk mill is not the only local industry affected by the business depression. The plant of the Pennsylvania Match company is op- erating only on part time and not at its maximum capacity, while the force of workmen at all the limestone op- erations in and near Bellefonte has been greatly reduced. In fact there are more idle people in Bellefonte and contiguous territory at the present time than there have been for many months, and job hunting is already proving a bugbear to quite a number of people. The only class of people who are busy these days are the farmers, and many of them are short handed just at the time when they most need help. Irn ler ————— ——1It is estimated that the coun- try’s crop of potatoes this season will be forty million bushels less than that of 1923. At the present time new po- tatoes are selling at less per pound than the price has been for several years. The Band Playing in the New Shell. The last two concerts of the Odd Fellows band have been given in the new shell erected for it at the rear of the court house by the Business Men's Association. The new location is admirable, for those who go to hear the music are not annoyed by the constant honking of motor horns and racing engines. We stood in every section of the broad plaza between the court house and jail Wednesday evening and heard, with- out strained attention, every instru- ment in the band, even when they were softened to proper accompani- ment for the child soloists. It was an evening of real pleasure for us for it was the first time that we have really enjoyed the band’s concert in years and it was all because it could be heard above the din that drowns it when playing in the centres of traffic. We understand that there has been complaint because it is not located down in the Diamond. If there has been, those who have made it certainly must be looking on the work of the band as a ballyhoo for business rath- er than as a concert for the pleasure of those who love good music. The program, Wednesday evening, included several new numbers splen- didly executed as to harmony but rather timidly as to attack. Irvin and Marie Martin sang two duets and still hold their places as popular favorites, for they were en- cored several times. Marie contrib- uted a solo dance that won rounds of applause. A new number rendered was a vio- lin duo by the little daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Garbrick, of Pleasant Gap. It was a charming little melody with band accompaniment and brought a well deserved encore. The last number was a cornet solo by Paul Crust the youngest member of the band. Paul gets a tone of good quality from his instrument and gives promise of becoming a splendid per- former. Bellefonte Aviation Field Becoming Centre of Airmail Activities. The government aviation field in Bellefonte, being the only landing sta- tion in Pennsylvania on the coast-to- coast airmail line, is naturally grow- ing in importance since the establish- ment of the thirty-four hour service between New York and San Francisco. All planes, both east and west, stop at the Bellefonte field for oil and gas and to take on mail. Being the only station between New York and Cleve- land many surrounding towns are sending their mail to Bellefonte for transportation west. A few days ago a bunch of letters came to Bellefonte from New York city and made con- nection with the plane going west. All important mail trains reach Belle- fonte early enough in the morning to enable the postoffice officials to get all mail intended for transportation by plane to the field postoffice in time to make connection with both westbound and eastbound ships. The new serv- ice is continuous, planes being operat- ed on Sundays as well as holidays. ——Ladies’ Holeproof hose $2.25 grade at $1.35 Friday, Saturday and Monday. All shades.

Later he went to Austin where he is now a gov- ernment inspector at the Austin paper mill. According to reports his wed- ding and the reception which followed: at Austin were elaborate affairs. eerste eee eee et eee ee. MOONSHINE AND MOONSHINERS CAPTURED. Raid at Julian Yields Six Stills, Quantity of Whiskey and Five Individuals. For some time past numerous com- plaints have been heard of the unusu- al activities of a number of moon- shiners in the vicinity of Julian and armed with a John Doe search war- rant Sergeant E. Jimcoski and two plain clothes state policemen, of Hol- lidaysburg, went to Julian on Satur- day to investigate. The result was the raiding of four places in the outlying districts of that little village, and the arrest of five persons, four men and a woman, namely: William Bando, Mrs. Emery Beals, William White, William Hale and William Burns. All told six stills were confiscated and in the neighborhood of eight gallons of moonshine while barrels of mash al- most ready for the making were de- stroyed. The biggest and most com- plete plant was found on a small farm owned jointly by Mr. Bando and Mrs. Beals. Most of the moonshine was found there while ten barrels of mash were also uncovered and de- stroyed. The five people arrested entered bail before a local justice of the peace for their appearance in Bellefonte at the September term of court, while the stills and moonshine were brought here and turned over to sheriff Taylor for safe keeping. The Bando-Beals plant was one of the biggest so far uncovered in Centre county, and it is rumored that considerable of the out- put was sold in Bellefonte. Bando was chief salesman and made regular trips, carrying the juice in two and three gallon jugs. Bellefonte Still Leads Centre County Baseball League. By winning two games last week Bellefonte forged a decisive number of points further ahead in the pen- nant race in the Centre county base- ball league. The result of last Thurs- day’s games was Bellefonte 7, Mill- heim 3; Centre Hall 6, State College 3. On Saturday Bellefonte downed Centre Hall by the close score of 4 to 3 and Millheim won from State 12 to 1 Fisher had two torrid bingles against Millheim on Thursday that figured in the run-getting. This boy has had hard luck making hard drives into the opposing fielder’s hands. Millheim fielders made Bellefonte a gift of the one on Thursday. Only one earned run was recorded off Gramley’s pitching. But Gramley, himself, started the trouble when he messed up Weaver’s perfect bunt. Smith and Rutherford figured in a hard collision at home in the fourth. Sweng. slid under the Millheim catch- er’s feet spilling him hard. Bierly, of Millheim, was leading slugger of Thursday’s game, having three solid swats. Our outfield as- sisted him by misjudging two of his drives. Following is the standing of the clubs: Ww. L. P.C Bellefonte ..........11 3 786 Millheim ......
