Centre County on the Sunday School Honor Roll. Centre: county delegates to the big State Sabbath school convention at Washington, Pa, last week, felt a just pride as they saw posted before them the list of those counties who had paid their property debt pledge to the State Association. Several years ago several men made the State Sabbath School Association an offer to pay the larger portion of the money required by the State As- sociation for an office home at 1511 Arch St., Philadelphia, provided the counties would raise a certain amount. ‘All counties pledged a per capita amount for each member of the Sun- day school and Centre county assum- ed her share amounting to $269.00, and being one of some thirty counties has peen placed on the Property Debt Honor Roll. The State Association in the conduct of its work has certain standards to be attained in the various departments of Sunday school activity and the counties are rated as to standing ac- cording to the efficiency in their work, and the reaching these standards. And Centre county during the past year received credit for $550.00 while ten other counties reached 100 per cent. standard, and were awarded each one a pennant in recognition of this high standard. A goal well worth trying for because in reaching it the Sunday schools of our county would. become more active and more efficient. In connection with the State work each county pays a certain amount, part of which in service comes back to Centre county, The most, however, being used in State work, which also , 1ably tel : their minds. yearly gives a certain amount to the International and also the World’s as- sociations, thus doing a world work. The counties are asked to contribute, a certain amount per capita for the Sunday school membership of each county and Centre county’s share in this last year was nearly three and one quarter cents per member. Centre county had seven official del- egates registered. Good Citizenship. (The third article in the Kiwanis series on Good Citizenship). " By S. D. Gettig. On November fourth next the citi- zens of this country will be called up- on to express their wishes as to who shall be the Chief Magistrate of this nation, the oldest republic of the famn- Sensational Development at Murder Trial in Snyder County. Last week a jury. in Middleburg, Snyder county, found Ralph Shadle guilty of only murder in the second degree for deliberately shooting his employer, Harvey C. Willow, in the back, while they were out hunting last fall. The youth offered as his only defense that Willow’s wife, who is twice his age, urged him to do it be- cause she was in love with the boy and wanted her husband out of the way. It is generally believed that Shadle was saved from the electric chair by the testimony of Dr. E. R. Decker, of Selinsgrove, who took the stand and swore that Shadle’s mentality was that of a child, easily influenced and that he could not possibly have so bru- tally shot Willow from behind with a clear knowledge of the consequences of his act. The jury believed Dr. Deck- er and rendered a verdict that let him off with ten years in the penitentiary for a murder that he had confessed to. This week in Middleburg, Mrs. Wil- low is on trial for her part in the kill- ing of her husband and Dr. Decker has again been on the stand. He startled every one, on Tuesday, with testimony which, if the psycho- logical effect is the same on the juror mind, as was his evidence in the Sha- dle trial, is likely to let Mrs. Willow go scott free. He stated, after fenc- "ing with the attorneys in defense of the sacredness of the confidences be- | tween patient and physician, that dur- ing a visit to Mrs. Willow in her cell in the jail he had given her scopalin. Scopalin is a relatively new drug that Dr. Decker said he had used while in | the service overseas. It is a potion that is claimed will put those taking it into such a condition that they talk as if talking in their sleep and invar- iably tell the truth as to what is in He said the patient re- acted normally to the drug but instead of a confession of her supposed part in the murder she rambled about how she cried when Shadle told her he had shot her husband. In the Doctor’s mind everything she said clearly ! showed that she had had no fore- knowledge of the crime. His testimony created such a sen- sation that the court, attorneys and the audience were in such a state of excitement that court was adjourned a few moments until all could regain their composure. It was right in the face of Mrs. Willow’s written confes- sion of her participance in the mur- der, but the latter was at once attack- ed on the ground that all the parties being very simple folks and knowing little of English, she probably didn’t know what she was signing when she signed the confession or else it had been inaccurately translated from the ily of nations as well as the grandest government on the globe. Every good | citizen will at that time express his or her choice as to who shall lead this nation for the ensuing four years, ! and it will be the duty and should be the desire of every citizen to exercise his or her franchise as to who shall for the ensuing term occupy the sev- ; eral offices to be filled at the coming election. | This is not a partisan move on the part of the Kiwanis .but a desire that ' every person who has the right of franchise shall express at the coming election his or her choice and perform a solemn duty for the purpose of hav- | ing the best government that can be | had, which right of franchise should be carefully thought over, and then vote accordingly. The stay-at-home voter does not perform his or her duty, and every voter is urged to come out and ex- | press his or her views for the best of | the government, nationally, State and, county, and feel that he or she have taken a hand and exercised their right and have a part in keeping up a gov- ernment, nationally, State and coun- ty. That shall be, as well as will be, the best in the sisterhood of nations, as well as the best in the sisterhood. of States and local government. Every voter entitled to vote is there- fore urged to come out at election |’ time and express his or her thought and views of government so that the best officials may be elected to govern us for the ensuing term. A careful and conscientious resume and the conscientious act is therefore urged upon the citizens to exercise the right of franchise. Presbyterians to Meet Next Week. On Wednesday of next week the Presbyterians in the fourth district of the Huntingdon Presbytery will hold a meeting in the Bellefonte church. At 2:30 the women will be address- ed by representatives from the exec- utive committee of the Women’s Mis- sionary society. At 6 o'clock there will be a supper conference and at 8 a meeting for men and women, when Mr. Bailey, from | New York, and the Rev. Stacey Ca- | pers, of Hollidaysburg, will speak. All the Presbyterian churches in the district are urged to send representa- tives. David McClure Hendershot, of Bellefonte, was arrested on the High street bridge by state police, last Sat- urday night, on the charge of trans- porting and having in his possession intoxicating beverages. Squire Wood- ring held him in $600 bail for trial at court at a hearing on Monday and after spending one night in jail cash bail was furnished and he was releas- ed. Marriage Licenses. dames M.

Our New Zeppelin Successfully i Crosses the Atlantic. * The ZR-3, the world’s greatest air- ship, reached the naval air station at Lakehurst, N. J., on Wednesday morn- ing at 9:16. The ship left Freidrichshafen, Ger- many on Sunday morning at 6:35 making the non-stop flight of 5000 miles in 79 hours and 15 minutes. The giant dirigible was built by Germany for the American navy as part pay of indemnity to us for losses in the war. On her flight she carried 2 crew of twenty-eight Germans and four American naval officers as ob- servers. It was expected that the ship would make the trip in 60 hours but after reaching mid-Atlantic by the south- ern course, Spain to the Azores to Bermuda, she struck bad weather and headed due north, arriving off Cape Cod at 3:15 Wednesday morning. It is intended that the ZR-3 shall be a sister ship of the Shenandoah. She is much larger and more elaborately fitted. The food served aboard was quite equal to that of a first class ho- tel, the sleeping accommodations am- ple and for entertainment she carried a phonograph and a. radio set. The flight of the ZR-3 from Ger- many to the United States is not the first transoceanic journey to be made by a dirigible. : : In 1919 the British dirigible R-34 flew from East Fortune, Scotland, to Mineola, L. I., 3130 miles, in 108 hours and twelve minutes, the return trip being made in seventy-four hours and fifty-six minutes over a different route. The new ZR-3 had been expected to complete the flight, including the trip up the Atlantic Coast from Florida, in about sixty hours, at an average | speed of ninety miles an hour. | Other dashes across the Atlantic by i air are those of the United States na- | val seaplane, NC-4, which in 1919 ‘flew from Canada, via the Azores and | Portugal to Europe, covering the 2150 ' miles in twenty-six hours and forty- { five minutes of actual flying time; the { British biplane of Alcock and Brown, {| who made a daring non-stop flight of | sixteen hours and twelve minutes over | the 1960 miles of water lying between | Newfoundland and Ireland, and the | feat of the hydroplane which made the | trip from Portugal to Brazil in 1922. 1941 i On October 12th, 1492, Christo- i pher Columbus discovered America {and on Monday the banks in Belle- | fonte celebrated the four hundred and thirty-second anniversary of the event jas a holiday. It took Chris seventy- | one days to sail across the Atlantic { from Spain at that time while the { ZR-3 dirigible came from Friedrichs- { hafen, Germany; to the United States | this week in sixty hours. ——When George C. Glenn came down to his workshop, on south Water | street on Monday morning, he found | the steps and small porch at the en- | trance literally smashed to smither- | ens, and three big empty bottles ly- ing amid the ruins were mute evidence of the high revel that had been held there on Saturday night. { ——Bush House Coffee Shop.

Timely Reminders from The Pennsyl- vania State College School of Agriculture. Garden Soil.—This is the time of year to plan to improve the garden soil for next year. If the soil is heavy it needs organic matter and ten tons of manure to one-fourth of an acre is not too much. If possible it should be applied and turned under this fall. Al- low the surface to remain rough over winter. Fine sand or the siftings of coal ashes put on in the spring will help in lightening the soil and save many a back ache because it is easier to cultivate. Poultry.—No birds should be allow- ed to roost in the open at this time of year. Many fall colds can be avoid- ed by housing flocks in dry houses which are free from drafts. Colds at this time of the year are an indication of poor housing conditions. Landscaping.—It is not too late to place orders for deciduous material to be planted this fall. With the excep- tion of magnolias, azaleas, altheas and a few other succulent rooted plants, fall planting can be carried on into December if the ground is mulch- ed before frost gets into the ground in the area that is to be planted. Dressing and Curing Meat.—This is the title of a seven lesson free home: study course offered by the corres- pondence department of The Pennsyl- vania State College agricultural school. The information it contains should come in handy during the fall and winter. A postal will bring you a home study catalogue from the col- lege. Big Cabbage Year.—The past sea- son has been a very favorable one for the growing of cabbage in Pennsylva- nia and New York. There is an abun- dant supply and indications are that prices will be low for some time. Un- less you have storage facilities avail- able, Pennsylvania growers are advis- ed by State College extension special- ists to work off part of their crop be- fore November 1 as out of State ship- ments will start coming in about that time.
