Miss Lois Rishel, impersonator
and soloist, will give a recital in the
community hall at Unionville, Friday
evening, August 15th, for the benefit

The Ladies Auxiliary of the
Bellefonte postoffice clerks’ and car-
riers’ association gave a dinner in
honor of postmaster and Mrs. John L.
Knisely, at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
John L. Spearley, on Monday evening.
All members of the Auxiliary as well
as clerks and carriers were present
and the dinner was served at tables
spread on the lawn at the Spearley
home.
Senator Richard G. Quigley, of
Lock Haven, set a new amateur rec-
ord for the Shawnee-on-Delaware
golf course last week. In the com-
petitive medal play he made the course
in 71. Four years ago Chick Evans
played it in 69 but since that time it
has been changed and trapped so that
it is regarded now as being easily two
shots harder than it was when Evans
made the record.
If you want to see all the good
pictures shown at the Scenic you will
have to be a regular and not miss a
night, as every evening’s program is
composed of the best and most up-to-
date films obtainable. Manager
Brown’s motion picture experience
has given him a keen knowledge of
just the class of pictures appreciated
by his hundreds of patrons and makes
it his business to secure the right
kind.
——Some of the advertising for the
gala-day in Milesburg, on Saturday,
August 16th, carries the announce-
ment that the Odd Fellows band of
this place will be present to furnish
the music. Such will not be the case.
Wetzler’s band will play the engage-
ment itself. The error arose out of
the fact that the same copy that was
used last year, when the Odd Fellows
band was there, was submitted for
this year’s bills.
Next Thursday, August 14th, is
the date for the big Business Men’s
picnic at Hecla park, and if efforts
count for anything it ought to exceed
any former gathering. The commit-
tee in charge has not only advertised
the picnic all over this and adjoining
counties but has prepared a program
of attractions that should appeal to
both young and old, men and women.
Only a few more picnics will be held
so be sure to take in the business
men’s.
While cranking his car at the
Pennsylvania railroad station on Sat-
urday afternoon William Corman lost
his pocketbook which dropped out of
his pocket while he was in a stooping
position. A woman saw the pocket-
book just as Mr. Cormar. drove away
but before she could get to it a stran-
ger jumped out of a passing automo-
bile, grabbed the pocketbook and
jumping into the car sped away. The
pocketbook contained two Western
Maryland Dairy checks for $25.00
each and $17.00 in cash.
——The annual financial statement
of the Bellefonte school district is
published in this issue of the “Watch-
man.” It shows a net indebtedness of
not quite $50,000 against $78812.54
five years ago; and this notwithstand-
ing the fact that the cost of instruc-
tional service (teachers’ salaries) has
practically doubled, being $22650.42
five years ago and $43695.14 for the
wast school year. During the past five
Years the old bonded debt has been
wiped out and the outstanding notes
reduced from $27250 to $10500. In
fact the district never was in better
financial shape than it is just now.
A well known citizen of Belle-.
fonte visited the “Watchman” office
this week and registered a decided
protest against the baseball games
being played at Hecla park on Sun-
days, declaring that they are not only
infractions of the law but utterly de-
moralizing. Any desecration of the
Sabbath day has its demoralizing ef-
fects, undoubtedly, but where draw
the line on the mark of desecration?
From all accounts an unusually large
crowd was at the park last Sunday to
see the game, but people who were
there claim the crowd was very order-
ly. And while the game was in prog-
ress it is quite possible that in other
sections of the county people were
playing golf and indulging in other
harmless ‘recreations, while many
family picnics were being held by peo-
ple who motored out for a Sunday
afternoon in the woods. So where
draw the line ‘of Sabbath desecration?
As to law violation there are properly
constituted officers to look after that
end of it.
ISTRATION COMPLETED.
Reports and Requests Submitted to
Borough Council.
Just five members were present at
the regular meeting of borough coun-'
cil on Monday evening. Mr. Roberts,
superintendent of the State Highway
in Bellefonte, was present and asked
for an extension of the water line to
a building he is about to erect at the
intersection of Linn and Wilson
streets, for office and storage purpos-
es. The matter was referred to the
Water committee and borough man-
ager.
J. C. Jodon presented a permit from
the Public Service Commission for the
‘erection of a tank near his store on
south Water street. The matter was
referred to the borough manager and
Street committee.
Secretary W. T. Kelly read a letter
from the burgess of Lock Haven to
the burgess of Bellefonte expressing
thanks and appreciation for the
prompt response of the Bellefonte fire-
men on the occasion of a recent fire
in that place.
Frank Sasserman appeared before
council to ask for an extension of the
water line on north Water street to
connect with his gasoline pumping
station and also to properties of Don
Snyder and John Sheckler. The mat-
ter was referred to the Water com-
mittee.
The Street committee presented the
treasurer’s receipt for twenty dollars
for two sewer permits. Report was
also made of a bad spot in the pave-
ment in front of the Mrs. Gray prop-
erty on jail hill,
Jackson.
there and a bad accident may result.
The pavement at the Brown property
(Brant house) was also reported as
badly in need of repairs, and both
were referred to the Street committee
and borough manager.
The Water committee reported that
the new water assessment and inspec-
tion had been completed and that the
inspectors found 108 hopper toilets
and 8 cooling troughs. Leaking spig-
ots and service pipes totaled 183, of
which number 64 were fixed by the
inspectors. The committee presented
a tabulated statement showing the
cost of leaks, from the constant drip
of a drop of water up to a three-
eighth’s inch stream. Mr. Cunning-
ham requested permission to send a
letter to owners of all hopper toilets
and those persons having leaks on
their premises requesting them to do
everything possible to conserve the
water and prevent useless waste.
Permission was granted.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of a note for $2000, which
was authorized.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that the Krader Motor compa-
ny requested permission to remove
the old board fence on the line be-
tween its property and that of the
public building on Howard street; and
also permission to use the ashes piled
there for filling purposes. The mat-
ter was referred to the committee
with power.
Conrad Miller appeared before coun-
cil for the third time in regard to the
opening of Ridge street between east
High and Howard and also grades for
pavements. The matter has been in
the hands of the Street committee for
some time and Mr. Miller was in-
structed to see chairman Brouse.
Mr. Cunningham stated that from
four to five hundred strangers visit
the big spring every Sunday and a
few are thoughtless enough to throw
used drinking cups into the spring,
and he suggested the erection of a
sanitary drinking fountain just inside
the gate and the putting up of notices
asking visitors to refrain from dip-
ping into the spring or throwing any-
thing therein. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee with power.
William F. Shope is building a new
house on a lot owned by his father on
east Bishop street and asked for an
extension of the water and sewer to
his location. Referred to the Street
and Water committees. ;
Mr. Badger stated that various
complaints have been made to him of
the condition of Spring creek from
the bridge to the falls, and he sug-
gested that a good cleaning out would
help. The matter was referred to the
Sanitary committee, of which Mr.
Badger is chairman, with power.
Mr. Bradley stated that he and
George A. Beezer will pay for the
material if the borough will fix the
street along their properties on east
Curtin street. The matter was refer-
red to the Street committee.
In the absence of all members of
the Street committee secretary Kelly
stated that nothing definite had yet
been accomplished in the matter of
putting in an application for state-
aid for the repair of Spring street.
Bills for almost $2700 were approv-
ed for payment after which council
adjourned.
Old Age
Pension Bill Declared
Unconstitutional.
The old age pension bill passed by
the Legislature of 1923, and for which
Governor Pinchot recently appointed
a commission to prepare plans of ad-
ministration, has been declared uncon-
stitutional by the Dauphin county
court. The opinion was handed down
by Judge William M. Hargest and is
based on Section 18 Article III of the
Constitution which provides that “No
appropriations, except for pensions or
gratuities for military services shall
be made for charitable, educational or
benevolent purposes to any person or
community nor to any denominational
or sectarian institution, corporation or
association.”
The validity of the act will likely
be tested out in the Supreme court.

Five in Johnstown Schools.
Miss Cora Mitchell, who served nine
months as dental hygienist in Centre
i county, is now demonstrating in Ken-
nywood Park, Pittsburgh and, at the
close of her engagement there, will
go to Johnstown for the school year
where she will be head of the five den-
tal hygienists who have been employ-
ed by the Johnstown board of educa-
tion to teach and demonstrate in the
schools there. Of her present work
Miss Mitchell writes:
“I came to Pittsburgh June first, to
take a position with the Pittsburgh
Dairy Council, an educational organ-
ization with two chapters in this
State one in Philadelphia which takes
in Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Delaware, and this one including
Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio
and West Virginia. It is financed by
the large milk producers and, while
fundamentally it all means drink
more milk and influence every one
else to do so, even that is education-
al and all they teach is good, sound
doctrine. They have about a dozen
workers, some nutrition and some dra-
matic workers, a registered nurse and
others I can scarcely classify but all
capable, well-educated people. Dur-
ing the school year, the accepted
eight health rules are taught in the
schools and now that the parks are
open the association has a booth at
each of the Pittsburgh amusement
parks. I am the only dental hygien-
ist employed and Miss Roberts, a reg-
istered nurse, and I are at the largest
amusement park, Kennywood. She
weighs and measures the children and
I talk and demonstrate dental hy-
giene to children and parents, with a
portable outfit just like the one used
in Bellefonte. A dentist, after wit-
nessing the demonstration the other
day, went away and came back with
the Mt. Washington school superin-
tendent and we had a general discus-
sion on equipment and matters per-
taining to the work. The public and
parochial schools of Pittsburgh and
surrounding towns have picnics in
this park and our work is with these
children. They come from Connels-
ville, Charleroi, and Coraopolis, thirty
and forty miles distant.
Monday is an open date and I am to
go to the Irene Kaufman settlement
to give a talk and help examine the
children’s teeth. What I am doing
now is more strenuous than the school
work as there is always an audience
and a great deal of confusion but
there is something very fascinating
about the public work not to be found
in private practice.”
Important Developments in
Musser Homicide Case.
No additional arrests have been
made and few important develop-
ments have occurred in the Musser
homicide case since last week. It is
reported on pretty reliable authority
that sheriff Taylor has secured the
overalls worn by Harry Musser the
night his uncle, William Musser, was
murdered, but whether there are any
blood stains or tell-tale. marks upon
them has not been divulged.
Two executions were entered in the
county court against Harry Mus-
ser last week, one by his wife for
eighteen hundred dollars, or there-
abouts, and another for a little over
one hundred dollars. Mr. Musser
does not own the farm he has been
living on, which belongs to his father,
and the judgment obtained by his wife
will probably cover all his personal
property.
So far Mr. Musser, Heaton and
Stover have been model prisoners.
Stover’s part in the crime is natural-
ly of much less gravity than that of
the others, while Heaton evidently
doesn’t consider himself deeply en-
meshed. As to Musser, he has been
normally cool and self-possessed and
either don’t realize the seriousness of
bis case or else is placing implicit
faith in his attorneys to extricate him
from the unpleasant situation of be-
ing convicted for the crime of mur-
der. On Sunday when a male quar-
tette visited the jail to hold musical
and religious services Musser invited
them to come to his cell and sing.
Up to this time none of the men
have asked for a habeas corpus hear-
ing, although it has been rumored on
the street that such action might be
taken. Judge Quigley is now out of
town and will be away until some
time next week, so that no hearing
could be given them under ten days,
even if requested.
Run Down on Water Street.
Forrest L. Bullock is back in his
shop on Water street, doing all the odd
smithy jobs that his peculiar genius
makes him so handy at. It is a mira-
cle that he isn’t lying calmly up in the
Union cemetery, for he escaped pos-
sible death only by a hair on Tuesday
evening of last week.
He had just closed his shop and had
started to cross the street to reach the
opposite sidewalk when he noticed
cars coming each way. Halting until
they had passed he then proceeded and
would have gotten across in safety
had not another driver, to avoid a sew-
er opening, veered out into the road
directly at him. The front fender
struck his hand and arm and threw
him so that his head struck the back
end of the car. Both injuries were
very painful and laid him up for the
rest of the week.
The driver of the Ford that struck
him never slowed up, but kept on
going so fast that his license number
couldn’t be gotten.

| WATER ASSESSMENT AND REG- | Our Dental ‘Hygienist to be One of GRANGERS GETTING IN SHAPE.
Preliminary Announcement of Grange
Encampment at Centre Hall.
Only three weeks remain until the
great Grange encampment and Centre
county fair will be in full swing, at
Grange park, Centre Hall, and it is
the aim of the management to make
it as big an attraction as ever this
year. While the new grounds, pur-
chased one year ago, will not be used
jto any great extent this year, the
crowded condition of the original park
is proof of the growth of the institu-
tion and the need for additional space
for expansion. By another year, the
development of the plan recently
adopted will begin.
Tents will be occupied and the 1923
location changed very little. An earn-
est effort is made to please each fami-
ly and arrange for the comfort of
campers. Tent rents will not be
changed and, electricity, when desired,
will be placed in tents at same rate as
in previous years, $1.75 for the week.
Stoves are no longer available. Camp-
ers are urged to take oil stoves. Oil
can be purchased on the grounds.
In his department, D. L. Bartges is
making every effort to fill his space
with exhibits, concessions and amuse-
ments that are worth while, new and
interesting to young and old.
As regards amusements, the Secre-
tary of Agriculture insists more care-
ful supervision be exercised at agri-
cultural fairs to conform with the law.
While the season has been unfa-
vorable, it is hoped a big response will
be made to the appeal to farmers and
friends to prepare and take to the fair
as full and complete an exhibit of
products from farm, garden and
orchard as can be secured; also, all
kind of canned fruits, vegetables and
jellies. In fact, any product of the
home kitchen will be received. The
payment of ten cents for each meri-
torious article has been discontinued
in this department, but cash prizes
have been considerably increased,
both in amounts paid and number, so
that those whose exhibits are worth-
while, will be the gainers.
The exhibit of modern needlework
will be continued as heretofore, and 10
cents paid for each article not before
exhibited. Exhibit of antiques is dis-
continued for lack of space.
Vocational schools and the State
College extension department will al-
so prepare exhibits and through the
latter home economics will be repre-
sented.
It is hoped the exhibit of pure-bred
stock will be much larger than ever
before, and the County Agent, who is
in charge of this department, is spar-
ing no effort to get in touch with own-
ers of good stock, explaining to them
the advantages of showing their stock
at the only fair in Centre county, and
the satisfactory premiums paid should
appeal to all.
John S. Dale has secured an exhib-
it of machinery and automobiles and
tractors up to the standard.
The evening entertainments will be
in the form of plays presented in the
auditorium by various Granges of
Centre county, and will be well staged
and well acted. A small admission
will be charged, proceeds to be equally
divided between the performing
Grange and Encampment and Fair.
Speakers of State and National rep-
utation will be present on Wednesday,
(Grand Army day), and on Thursday,
(Grange day).
There will be plenty of music. A
popular musical company will be on
the grounds the entire week and give
many concerts, all free. Bands will
also be present.
Admission charges have not chang-
ed; 50 cents for those 14 years old and
over, good for the week; under 14
years, free admission. 50 cents auto-
mobile parking, also good for week.
All trains stop at Grange Park and
all roads lead to Centre Hall the week
beginning Saturday, August 30th.
Write secretary for further infor-
mation.
Bush House May Change Landlords.
Negotiations are now pending for
the transfer of the lease of the Bush
house from Lewis Daggett to Stewart
& Davis, of Tyrone and Pittsburgh.
Mr. Daggett has a very good opportu-
nity to take a hotel in New Jersey
which he would like very much to ac-
cept, the only obstacle being his lease
on the Bush house. Mr. Davis was in
Bellefonte on Tuesday and conferred
with the board of directors of the
Bellefonte Trust company, trustees of
the Bush estate, and it is understood
that the transfer is being favorably
considered. Stewart & Davis operate
a chain of hotels throughout central
Pennsylvania and have had an eye on
Bellefonte for some time. Should
they take over the hotel it will prob-
ably be with an option to purchase
the same at some time in the future.
——Dr. C. J. Hollister, chief of the
dental division of the State Health
Department, who spent last week at
State College demonstrating and lec-
turing to the summer session students,
was in Bellefonte for a few hours in
an endeavor to have a dental hygien-
ist again work in the schools this win-
ter. He hopes the board of education
here and at State College will unite
and employ the hygienist for three or
four months, at least, in each place
until a full-time worker can be afford-
ed as in Philipsburg. The work done
the past two years by the dental hy-
gienist in Centre county was financed
by tuberculosis committees as an ex-
periment and is impossible of contin-
uance unless the maintenance be as-
sumed by the school boards.
——Plenty of parking space with-
out charge, at Business Men's picnic.
