DEFENSE DAY CELEBRATION. | —John Willard’s mystery play, |
Upwards of One Thousand Men
Paraded in Bellefonte.
National Defense day, last Friday,
invoked considerable patriotism and
enthusiasm in Bellefonte. Men volun-
teered “for a day only” who couldn’t
get in the ranks for real service if
they wanted to, but it showed that
their spirit wes in the right place.
The day was ushered in promptly at
twelve o'clock with the blowing of
whistles and ringing of bells. This,
was the signal for every business place |
in town to close tight for the day.
The big feature of the day’s program
was the parade in the afternoon.
Forming on Linn street it was almost
half an hour late in moving. Major
H. Laird Curtin was chief marshall
and in the line were the Civil war
veterans in automobiles, Wetzler’s
band of Milesburg, Troop B, the P. O.
S. of A., the Elks Lodge, and units
made up of the match factory em-
ployees and Bellefonte Academy stu-
dents, the Titan Metal company em-
ployees, the American Lime & Stone
company employees, the Odd Fellows
band, Red Cross ladies in an automo-
bile, and the Logan and Undine fire
company pumpers and paraphernalia.
The parade massed in the Diamond
where a brief meeting was held. Bur-
gess W. Harrison Walker presided
and the address of the day was deliv-
ered by Col. H. S. Taylor.
Later in the afternoon a large
crowd attended the free baseball game
on Hughes field between Milesburg
and Snow Shoe, the former winning
by the score of 8 to 2. Probably one
of the reasons why the Milesburg
team won was because the Wetzler
band was at the game and stirred up
their team with some of their inspir-
ing music.
In the evening a free dance was
held in the armory, Wetzler’s orches-
tra furnishing the music. The dance
was well attended and a most orderly
and successful affair.
THE DAY AT BOALSBURG.
More than two thousand people at-
tended the Defense day exercises at
Boalsburg. During the forenoon
members of the Boal troop were kept
busy enrolling the 386 volunteers and
96 Red Cross women who came from
all parts of the South Side. At noon-
time all partook of a good basket din-
ner and at two o'clock there was a
baseball game between Centre Hall
and a picked nine, the game being
called when the score stood 3 to 3.
The big parade formed at four
o'clock. It was made up of Boal
troop, the volunteers for a day only,
Red Cross, various civic organizations,
the Pine Grove Mills, State College
and Lemont bands. Hon. Ellis L. Or-
vis was master of ceremonies. Chap-
lain Metzger, of State College, led in
devotional exercises while the ad-
dress of the day was delivered by Col.
Jennings Wise, of Washington, D. C.,
a world war veteran. The meeting
was dismissed with the benediction by
Rev. J. Max Kirkpatrick.
Ten Thousand Children Turned Out
to Starve.
The workers in the American or-
ganization for Near East Relief went
through a terrible ordeal in July. The
committee had been embarrasssed for
some time by the fact that, on the
strength of receiving large contribu-
tions, starving children, with abso-
lutely no one to support them, were
taken into the orphanages. Trusting
to a continuation of the generosity of
the American people, the logical hope
was that these children would be kept
in the orphanages, where each one
was taught a productive trade, until
the time for undertaking their own
support. This trust was misplaced;
large contributions have not been con-
tinued. Children must be fed every
day of the year and the food must be
paid for. This meant that when the
support was discontinued the men and
women in charge were compelled to
turn out some of the children. The
fact is that in July of this year 10,000
children, not yet capable of self care
were sent away from the only shelter
possible for them. Try to imagine,
please, the feelings of the workers
who did the turning out!
September and October are the
most difficult months. Funds are very
low, the fall campaigns have not be-
gun to produce. This simply means
that the tragedy of July will have to
be repeated at no distant time if
America is not aroused to the rescue.
Any money sent to Charles M. Mec-
Curdy, Bellefonte, treasurer for Cen-
tre county Near East relief, will be
forwarded to headquarters where it
will be much appreciated at this cru-
cial time.
Woman to be Electrocuted.
Governor Pinchot on Monday signed
the death warrant of Louise Thomas,
a colored woman of Philadelphia, and
fixed the week of October 29th as the
date for her electrocution at the Rock-
view penitentiary. Mrs. Thomas
killed a colored policeman on April
8th, and although she claimed that
she did it in self-defense a jury con-
victed her of first degree murder.
Unless the board of pardons or the
courts intervene she will be the first
woman electrocuted in Pennsylvania.
The last execution of a woman in
this State was on June 25th, 1889,
when Sara J. Whiteling was hanged
in Philadelphia. In 1905 Kate Ed-
wards, of Reading, was convicted of
first degree murder but three succes-
sive Governors refused to sign her
death warrant and after spending
more than twelve years in the Berks
“The Cat and the Canary” played to
a fair house here Tuesday evening.
The intricacy of the story, combined '
with very unusual and complete stag-
ing and capable action made it a pro-
duction far above the average.
Word was received in Belle~
fonte of the marriage, last Saturday
evening, of Miss Frances M. Bell and
- Raymond Adams Tucker, at the Bell
home in Beaver, Pa. Miss Bell is a
daughter of D. Bates Bell, who spent
a portion of his early life in Belle-
fonte, during his residence here being
‘ the book-keeper at the old Ardell
- Lumber company, now the Bellefonte
Lumber company, and those who
knew him at that time will be inter-
ested in this announcement.
New Head of National Electric Light
Association.
At a convention held at Bedford
Springs, last week, Mr. G. M. Gadsby,
vice president of the Keystone Power
Corporation, became president of the
Pennsylvania section of the National
Electric Light association. At this
convention a large number of papers
were read and discussed by members
present dealing with the latest devel-
opments in the electrical world. Sev-
eral interesting exhibits were given
by the larger electrical manufactur-
ing companies.
Big Crowd at the Ku Klux Meeting at
Grange Park on Saturday.
From three to four thousand peo-
ple attended the big Ku Klux Klan
demonstration at Grange park, Centre
Hall, last Saturday afternoon and
evening. This estimate is based on
the fact that the admission fees at
25 cents totalled over $400, while all
members of the Klan were admitted
free. The Altoona band of forty
pieces furnished music during the
afternoon and evening. Refreshments
were sold on the grounds. In the
evening initiation exercises were held
and later there was a brilliant display
of fireworks. While the crowd was
quite large, many were doubtless kept
away by the threatening weather of
the morning.
Penn State Will Open Next Week.
The Pennsylvania State College will
open for the ensuing school year on
Wednesday of next week, which will
be the seventieth year of its existence.
Registration of students will start
next Monday and from advance re-
ports a capacity enrollment is antic-
ipated. In fact more than 3300 stu-
dents are expected, including a Fresh-
man class of fully 1000. A new dor-
mitory on the campus, Varsity Hall,
and the erection of fifty or more new
houses in the town during the spring
and summer will assure living ac-
commodations for all students. The
usual number of changes have taken
place on the faculty, so that a number
of new faces will be seen in the ad-
ministrative staff.
Mr. and Mrs. James Rider Celebrate
39th Wedding Anniversary.
Mr. and Mrs. James Rider, of
Stormstown, celebrated their thirty-
ninth wedding anniversary last Sat-
urday, which was also the 65th anni-
versary of the birth of Mr. Rider. All
their children and families were home
for the gathering so that the reunion
proved a very happy family affair.
Mr. and Mrs. Rider received many
beautiful as well as useful gifts while
the big dinner was a “delicious” fea-
ture to all present. Rev. G. M. Rem-
ley, pastor of the Methodist church,
made a very pleasing little talk while
the remainder of the day was taken
up with music, reading and games.

Mr. C. F. Fought, one of the secre-
taries of the State Y. M. C. A., will
be in Bellefonte next week to direct
the membership canvas which has
been planned for some time past, but
held off on account of other drives.
The board feels that they have right
of way now and as the fall work is
opening up, with the new physical di-
rector in charge of the gymnasium
classes and the recreative games, this
is the time to seek new memberships.
The committees appointed by the pres-
ident of the board are working ener-
getically to make this season the best
ever in the history of the Y. M. C. A.
The bowling league will have two di-
visions, running a National and an
American league, using the familiar
titles associated with the same. The
physical director is lining up teams
for an industrial basket ball league.
The floor will be reserved three even-
ings in the week, from 8 o’clock, for
basket ball and this will be one of the
attractive sports around the Y this
year.
The board of directors will meet
this week and will have some inter-
esting announcements relative to the
membership and privileges offered to
those who secure their membership

$100,000 FOR FARMERS.
Bellefonte Trust Co. Offers Help in
Improving Centre County
Dairy Herds.
In another column of this issue of
the “Watchman” the Bellefonte Trust
Co. makes an offer of $100,000 to the
farmers of Centre county to assist in
establishing pure-bred dairy herds.
‘While we are not informed as to the
plans of the Trust company, or any-
thing in connection with their offer,
it is one that should attract the atten-
tion of every farmer and dairyman in
the county.
Prior to taking over the plant of
the Western Maryland Dairy in Belle-
fonte by the Sheffield Farms company,
a route agent of the latter concern
visited every farmer in the county
who was supplying milk for the plant
and explained just what he would
have to do to meet the sanitary re-
quirements of the Sheffield company.
To the credit of practically all of the
farmers, be it said, that they met the
agent in the proper spirt and many of
them have already put their dairy
barns and milk houses in the condition
specified while others have the work
under way. In fact, so heartily did
they enter into the spirit of co-oper-
ation with the new company that
there was little, if any, decrease in
the supply of milk.
With their dairy barns improved
the only thing remaining for the far-
mers to do is to bring their dairy
i herds up to the highest standard pos-
sible, and this can only be done
through - pure-bred stock. - It will
mean greater returns at a reduced up-
keep, and naturally an increase in
size of the monthly milk check.
It hasn’t been so many years ago
that about the only time in the year
that the farmer handled any actual
cash was in the fall and winter when
he sold his crops and any surplus
stock. In fact it used to be the es-
tablished custom for farmers to bor-
row money at harvest time to pay the
men who helped them harvest their
crops. But the monthly milk check
is a steady source of income and fur-
nishes a good part of the actual cash
from one year’s end to the other. The
size of the check, of course, depends
entirely on the farmer himself, but
any business at all, whether it is in
town or on the farm, that is worth
doing should be done right in order
to make the most out of it. And for
this reason the pure-bred dairy herd
is a thing worth considering very
seriously.
“Meet the Wife,” a New Comedy.
Mark Byron, Inc., will present the
pricelessly funny comedy ‘“Meet the
Wife,” at the Moose Temple theatre
for one night only, Tuesday, Septem-
ber 23rd, with Augusta Boylston as
the centre character and a supporting
cast which includes Donald Campbell,
Messenger Bellis; Marvin Oreck,
Lynne Berry and Helen West.
Lynn Starling wrote “Meet the
Wife.” Bert French directed it and
Sheldon K. Viele designed the admir-
able artistic setting of “Liberty Hall”
wherein it is presented.
Augusta Boylston, who is excruci-
atingly funny as the wife, Helen West
as her daughter, Donald Campbell,
her husband, and Messenger Bellis, as
an ex-husband as well as Marvin
Oreck and Lynne Berry, have the ad-
vantage of having played together for
thirty-three weeks. Their scenes are
beautifully balanced and subtly de-
veloped in a game of cross purposes,
and all six are at their best in airy
passages of give and take designed for
the revelation of incidents and states
of mind which keep the audience roar-
ing with laughter or rippling with
merriment as the whimsical story is
unfolded.
“Meet the Wife” is the type of com-
edy which all people enjoy—clean,
wholesome, in plot and dialogue, pret-
tily mounted, fast moving, with witty
lines and laugh provoking situations
which are remembered with pleasure.
It is safe to say that Augusta Boyls-
ton has never done more beautiful
work than in this sprightly comedy
part of Gertrude Lennox.
Child Scalded to Death.
On Monday afternoon Marlin Emen-
hizer, three year old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Forest Emenhizer, of Fleming-
ton, fell into a kettle of boiling water
and was so badly scalded that he died
the same evening. The family had
only recently moved to Flemington
from Orviston and the remains were
taken there for burial on Wednesday.

——In connection with Col. Henry
W. Shoemaker’s effort to have a Cen-
tre county mountain named for the
late Count Treziyulny, the Polish pa-
triot, we last week stated that the
Count was buried in the cemetery
bearing his name near Milesburg. We
knew better, but the error slipped our
proof reader. Count Treziyulny and
his wife are both buried in the Union
cemetery in this place. Henry P.
Treziyulny, their son, who was a sur-
veyor, is the one who is buried in the
Treziyulny cemetery and not the
Count.

day morning when a friend we hadn't seen
for years and years dropped in for a little
chat. It was W. A. Neidigh, of Tyrone.
The last distinct recollection we have of
seeing Billy carried us back to the days,
from 1886 to 1888, when the Neidighs were
one of the little group of families that
comprised the village of State College. He
left there in '88 and for a number of years
has been living in Tyrone where, until re-
cently, he has been employed in the paper
mill. He was in town with his son-in-
law, Z W. Simpson, who farms the Strunk
farm at Loveville and though not just as
agile in the limbs as he once was his head
and heart were hitting on all cylinders for
he was just beaming with happiness and
good-will. |
