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.

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.

——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.

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 ...... Senn 9 5 643
Centre Hall ........ 5 9 357
State College ...... 3 11 214
Tomorrow Bellefonte will play at
Millkeim and State at Centre Hall.
while next Thursday’s games will be
Centre Hall at Bellefonte and Mill-
heim at State College.
