“Get-Out-the-Vote” Caravan Here and
Gone.
The ten men and women represent-
ing the much heralded “Get-Out the-
Vote” caravan have been in Belle-
fonte and are now on their way to the
northwestern part of the State in an
effort to instill a greater spirit of pa-
triotic duty in the minds of the delin-
quent voter, both man and woman.
Twelve carloads of representative
people from Bellefonte and almost an
equal number from- State College and
Boalsburg met the ”Get-Out-the-
Vote” pursuaders at the Centre-Clin-
ton county line, escorting them to
Bellefonte, but stopping along the way
at every school house where brief
talks were made. Twenty-five cars
strong the cavalcade reached Belle-
fonte about 5:30 o'clock and motor
paraded through the principal streets
of the town. The Justice Bell, an ex-
act replica of the Liberty Bell,
was parked in the Diamond where it
was viewed by scores of people.
An outdoor meeting was held in the
Diamond at 8 o'clock in the evening.
The Odd Fellows band gave a brief
concert and Mrs. Robert Mills Beach
presided. John B. Payne, on the part
of the Kiwanis club, extended a most
cordial welcome to the visitors in a
neat speech in which he urged the
people of Bellefonte and Centre coun-
ty to more religiously observe their
right of franchise.
Mrs. Edith Ellicut Smith, of Phil-
adelphia, was next introduced. She
spoke almost entirely upon economic
conditions as they prevail today be-
tween the producer and consumer. As
an illustration, she stated that her
husband operates a truck farm in New
Jersey and sweet corn grown there is
sent to Philadelphia and sold for fif-
teen cents a basket, where the dealers
sell it at sixty cents a dozen. Al-
though unable to point out a solution
of the problem she advocated legisla-
tion that would correct the extortion.
Miss Lucy Lewis, vice chairman of
the League of Women Voters of Phil-
adelphia, gave statistics in which she
claimed that twenty-seven million peo-
ple failed to exercise their right of
franchise at the 1920 presidential elec-
tion, a greater number than voted,
which shows that we are really liv-
ing under minority rule.
Following a brief talk by burgess
W. Harrison Walker Albert Smith
Faught, of the City club, Philadelphia,
was introduced and talked on the ur-
gent need of constitutional revision.
The final ‘speaker of the evening was
Miss Sleichter, of Chambersburg.
While the visitors talked against
the handicap of passing automobiles
they claimed that it was the best out-
door gathering they had had since
leaving Philadelphia. Some of the
boys on the outskirts of the crowd
were a little noisy until requested to
keep quiet, by Mrs. Ferree, when they
paid close attention to the speakers.
The caravan left yesterday morning
for Philipsburg and Clearfield, being
joined by Mrs. Robert Mills Beach, of
this place, who will go with it as
far as Erie.
Whatever justification there may
have been for the quarrel in Philadel-
phia when the “Caravan” was prepar-
ing to leave that city on its tour, there
wasn’t utterance by the speakers
here, of anything that could have been
distorted into partisanship. All stu-
diously avoided mention even of the
name of a candidate for President so
that the impression they left here, at
least, was of interest single to getting
out the vote, of whatever complexion
it might be.

convicted last week of murder in the

mine in the Snow Shoe region. In or-
der to avoid the crowd the sheriff and
deputy, with Musser in charge, motor-
ed to Milesburg and took the train
there. Musser was very docile on the
trip to Pittsburgh and was no trouble
at all.
The Love Bet.
This is a delightful musical comedy,
dealing with the experiences .of two
women who can endure any tempta-
tion without faltering,
beautiful love story woven into one of
the best musical comedies of the pres-
ent season’s offerings. This delight-
ful company has for its star none oth-
er than Frederick V. Bowers, who has
appeared here on previous occasions
with musical comedies of the higher
class.
Nothing better in the line of laugh-
ter has ever been written, and while
most musical plays lack a story it is
in “The Love Bet” that Mr. Bowers is
seen at his best, for the reason that
there is a story to follow which gives
him ample opportunity to be seen and
heard in both song and acting.
The story is full of many ludicrous
situations which are acted by a com-
pany of excellent players, especially
selected for their respective parts, and
include such well known musical com-
edy artists as Misses Mary Drury,
Mimi Jean, Nellie Lynch, Ann Meade,
Messrs. Jo Clare, Billy Barlow, Vic- :
tor Fry, Tom Rankin and Ben Grin-
nell, and a large beauty chorus. The
play possesses many novelties and is
claimed to have the daintiest and most
engaging figures in musical comedy
whose fresh voices lend charm to a
pretentious musical program. These
beautiful girls wear a world of the
newest creations which sets the eye
‘| aflame after viewing them.
There is a great treat in store for
our patrons in music and song, as Mr.
Bowers will render some of his own
compositions, both old and new, but
we are sure to hear “While the Stars
are Shining,” “If I Ever Get You,”
“Kiss Me Again, Dear,” “Out of the
Sunshine Into My Heart,” and many
others.
Seat sale opens Friday at Mott
Drug Co., and we would advise early
reservations for choice locations.
Mail orders will be filled promptly by
enclosing a self-addressed envelope.
Prices, $2.00, $1.50, $1.00, plus 10 per
cent. tax. 50 cents general admission.
New Motion Picture Machine In-
stalled at Scenic.
Manager T. Clayton Brown has just
completed the installation of a new
motion picture machine and a new
curtain at the Scenic at a cost of up-
wards of fifteen hundred dollars. The |
machine is the very latest and best on
the market. It is electrically operat-
ed with automatic feed and shut-off
and equipped with the very latest re-
flector lighting system which gives a
steady white light at all times.
The machine heretofore in use at
the Scenic has been rebuilt and equip-
ped with the same kind of lamp and
automatic electrical feed as the new
machine, and installed in the Moose
Temple theatre, so that patrons of
both these popular movie shows will
now have the advantage of the very
best machine service in use. The in-
terior of the Moose Temple theatre has
also been repainted and very much
improved throughout, making it as
cosy and comfortable as any amuse-
ment house of its capacity in the
State.
In his desire to give the people of
Bellefonte and vicinity the very best
entertainment possible manager T..
Clayten Brown considers the comfort
of his patrons just as necessary as
the quality of pictures shown, and in
both he leaves nothing to be desired.
Regular movie fans realize this fact
and those who are not regulars should
get the habit, as the long winter
evenings will soon be here and the
Scenic will be an ideal place to spend
them.
The Hughesville Fair Next Week.
The Lycoming county fair at
Hughesville next week promises even
to surpass the former successes of
this widely known Central Pennsyl-
vania educational and amusement en-
terprise.
This year the live stock exhibit .will
be stressed and already entries have
been made for 125 head of cattle.
The purses for the races, totaling
$3200.00, are more generous than ever
and offered to attract good horses that
will insure exciting finishes in every
one of the classes.
The Rowe fliers will be there to take
you up in the air.

A Great Football Game.
Go out to Hughes field this (Fri-
day) afternoon, at 8 o'clock, and see
the best team the Academy ever had
defeat the strong Susquehanna Uni-
versity reserve team. The playing of
the local team at the present time is
nothing short of college standard.
Few colleges in the country have a
better set of backfield men than Hill,
Hood, Rooney, Whitmore and Doug-
las. The Academy’s brilliant victory
on last Saturday over the Syracuse
Freshmen by the score of 28-0 veri-
fies the above statement. Six thous-
and people saw this victory in the
Syracuse stadium. It surely put the
Academy on the map in that section
of the country. Why not give the
team your best support today?
According to all reports there
was considerable fluctuation in the
price of moonshine in Bellefonte Sat-

| Perry Krise Fined for Killing Doe
* Out of Season.
For killing a doe out of season and
hunting without a license Perry Krise,
of Pleasant Gap, was fined $125 and
costs, last Friday, by justice of the
peace S. Kline Woodring. Including
the costs the bill was approximately
$140, and Mr. Krise admitted his
guilt and settled. He also lost the
! venison as that was confiscated by
‘ game protector Thomas A. Mosier,
who brought it to Gettig’s butcher
shop where it was dressed and the
' meat turned over to the Bellefonte
hospital.
For some time past there have been
{ rumors that somebody was killing
“deer over in Green’s valley, in the
Nittany mountain east of Pleasant
| Gap, and Mr. Mosier set himself to
“catch the guilty party. He was up on
{the mountain last Friday morning
{ when he heard two shots down in
Green’s valley. He at once proceeded
to the road coming out of that valley
and waited for the man to come out |
who had fired the shots.
In the course of half an hour an au-
tomobile appeared and Mr. Mosier
got out in the road and flagged the
driver. Instead of stopping, it is
charged the automobilist attempted to
run down the game protector but he
not only evaded being hit but jumped
reaching in through the curtain turn-
ed off the siwtch. When the car came
to a standstill Mr. Mosier recognized
the driver as Perry Krise and a search |
of the car revealed the carcass of a |
nice, fat doe, with the head cut off.
| The deer was confiscated and Krise
placed under arrest. He was taken
, before ’Squire Woodring and was
fined $100 for shooting a deer out of
season and $25 for hunting without a
i license. Mr. Krise, it is said, is a
member of the United Sportsman’s
League, of Pleasant Gap, and has al-
!ways been loud in his condemnation !

“Dewey” Stratton Burned to Death in
| Shanty Fire.
* Roy Stratton, better known among
his associates as “Dewey,” was burn-
ed to death in a shanty fire at the
Rusnak coal mine in Rush township,
last Thursday morning. The shanty
was built of concrete blocks with a
shingle roof. It was divided into two
compartments, one of which was occu-
pied by Stratton and his two faithful
dogs, and the other used as a stable
for the mine mule.
How the fire originated will prob-
ably never be known, but the author- |
ities have uncovered the fact that four
young men of Philipsburg had spent
most of the night with Stratton, and
all of them had consumed considerable
moonshine liquor. The young men
left the shanty between two and half-
past two o’clock in the morning, all
“more or less under the influence of
liquor. Stratton waved them good-
bye from the door and that was the
. last seen of him alive.
When Stephen Rusnak and his two
sons, John and Martin, went to the
mine at 6:30 o’clock Thursday morn-
ing, to go to work, they found the
shanty a mass of smouldering, smok-
ing ruins. Investigation revealed the
(fact that Stratton, his two dogs and
the mine mule had met death in the
holocaust. The supposition is that
either Stratton or one of his dogs up-
i set the lamp in the shanty which
started the blaze and the man was
unable to reach the door. The unfor-
tunate man was thirty-two years old
and had no immediate relatives. His
remains were buried in the Philips-
; burg cemetery alongside those of his
parents.
Bellefonte Chapter, D. A. R.
The attendance record of the Belle-
fonte Chapter, D. A. R. was broken at
‘its last meeting; the evening of Octo-
ber 2nd, when Mrs. James I. Thomp-
son, of Centre Furnace, entertained
over seventy of the members from
State College and Bellefonte.
This winter the programs are to in-
clude a series of studies of D. A. R.
i activities; at this meeting Mrs. James
T. Morris was to have spoken, advo-
cating the making of the Yorktown
battlefield a national park. Mrs. Mor-
ris being unable to be present, Mrs.
Edwin Erle Sparks impressed paucity
of such honors to Revolutionary sol-
diers. She said that only one-third of
one acre has been so used, while such
memorials to Civil war soldiers occu-
py fourteen thousand acres.
Mrs. Holben, accompanied by Mrs.
H. H. Havner, sang several solos. Mrs.
E. B. Callaway gave a lively account
of her last year’s, her second round-
the-world trip. Mrs. Callaway’s an-
imated verbal description of her ex-
periences and the foreign views was
made more vivid by he showing many
very beautiful and curious souvenirs;
a wealth of articles whi .h seemed to
bring the Orient near.
As a field for D. A. R. activity Mrs.
Callaway told of the need in Tanila
of homes for our soldiers and s:ilors.
She urged this upon her home cla»-
ter as she had asked all the D. A. IN.
on theirs.

Business Men to Establish County
Credit Association.
The business men of Centre county
are assembling facts and ratings for
the establishment of a Centre county
credit association, the object of which
will be the elimination of all unde-
sirable creditors, commonly known as
“dead beats;” as well as being a help
to worthy persons in securing credit.
A good sized list of members among
the merchants of Bellefonte and Staie
College have already been signed up
as members.
The association will be in a position
to give to its members a record of
whether the person asking credit owns
property; how much credit he or she
has had in the entire county, and the
merchants’ report as to how he or she
pays bills contracted. The association
plans to give the merchants a com-
plete record of everybody which will
enable them to extend a credit to all
those who meet their obligations
promptly and cut out the ones who
make it a practice to take advantage
of merchants. = »
The association will also maintain
a collection department, modern in
every way. The members will have
authority to list as bad pay the names
of those who refuse to pay their just
debts. It will also put out a regular
bulletin with a list of new residents in
the county, marriages and various oth-
er items of general interest and profit
to the merchants. :
Membership and ratings will include
the entire county except Philipsburg.
The organization is under the direc-
tion of John W. Jacobs, who owns and
operates the merchants credit associ-
ation of Williamsport, and the office
of the association will be in the Odd
Fellows building. Mr. Jacobs will be
glad to call on any person interested.
Friday, October 24th, has been
designated by Governor Pinchot as
