"Two surprises attended the Elk’s
Hallow-een carnival this year, the first
the outcome of the Harvest Queen
contest and the second a downpour of
rain at the time when least expected
or wanted. The surprise in the Har-
vest Queen contest was not over the
winning out of Miss Myrtle Goddard,
of State College, but the very unex-
“pected deluge of ballots in the last
half hour of the contest. From the
apathetic manner in which the voting
had been done during the ten days of
the contest the most sanguine dared
not hope that the total vote would
reach fifty thousand, but when the
. ballots were all in and counted they
aggregated 98,621. Miss Goddard led
| with 40,600; Miss Hines received 24,-
(021; Miss Gehret 17,505 and Miss
Hartsock 16,495. Miss Goddard not
‘only won the Harvest Queen honors
but the diamond ring, as well, while
i Miss Hines received the pearl neck-
lace, and Miss Gheret and Miss
+ Hartsock each received $10 in cash.
Had it not been ror the rain the pa-
rade would have been one of the larg-
est and best ever held, but scores of
. people dropped out of line before the
parade started and the downpour so
-mussed and bedraggled the costumes
“of the hundreds who braved the ele-
ments and marched to the finish that
the effect was sadly marred. Many
well known characters were well tak-
en and much originality displayed in
dozens of costumes, while considera-
ble ingenuity was displayed in the
preparation of the floats in line. One
very noticeable float was a very good
representation of the ZR—3, the work
of Anthony Volinch. Immediately
following the parade the many prizes
were distributed at the Elks club.
The judges were Mrs. Russell Blair,
Mrs. M. H. Brouse, Miss Mayme Mec-
Garvey, Mrs. M. A. Landsy, Mrs. J.
Dorsey Hunter, Mrs. Wilbur Baney,
Mrs. C. D. Casebeer, Miss Helen Over-
ton, Mrs James Seig, Miss Nellie

—-—The condition of Mrs. Lewis C.
Wetze!, who has been ill for the great-
er part of the past year at her home
in Windsor, Canada, has now become
extremely critical, with no hope of |
her iccovery. Mrs. Wetzel is a na-
tive of Bellefonte and spent the great-
ev part of her life here as Miss Ida
Gerberich.
~——At the annual meeting of the
‘Woman’s Missionary society of the
Susquehanna Synod of the Lutheran :
church, held in Williamsport last
week, Mrs. S. W. Smith, of Centre
Hall, was elected a vice president;
Mrs. J. R. Miller, of Millheim, record-
ing secretary, and Miss Jennie Reif-
snyder, of Millheim, secretary of the '
extension work.
The Emerick Motor Bus compa-
ny last week received a new Fargol
bus of the underslung type, manufac-
tured on the Pacific coast. It has an
eighty horse power motor and is elab-
orately upholstered throughout with
spring seat cushions on rattan chairs
and seats. It has a capacity of twen-
ty-seven people, exclusive of the driv-
er, and will be used primarily for long
trips. The cost of the bus is given as
$11,500.
The election is now over and
the people of Bellefonte and vicinity
can settle down and hope for the best.
At the same time bear in mind the
fact that the best motion pictures can
alvoys be seen at the Scenic theatre.
Now that the evenings are longer and !
the nights cooler plan to become a

represented in the pictures shown at!

While cutting corn with a corn
binder, the latter part of last week, |
dGeorge Sharer, of Potter township,
undertook to straighten a few stalks |
of corn while the machine was in mo- |
tion and got his arm caught in the |
:sheaf discharge. The only thing that |
:saved his arm from being badly man-
-gled or torn off was his team stop- |
ping promptly to his call of “whoa.” |
As it was his arm was badly twisted
and bruised but no bones broken. :
A masquerade party was held |
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William |
Crawford, at Coleville, Tuesday even- !
ing, playing of games and delicious |

Runaway Girls Found in Tyrone.
On Sunday, October 26th, Carrie
Smith and Bernice Scull, aged 13 and
14 years, ran away from their homes
on east High street, this place, and
were not heard from for more than a
week, when they were located in Ty-
| rone.
The girls walked to Milesburg and
from there went by train to Tyrone
where they said they were working in
a hotel. A railroad man from here
who knew them reported their where-
abouts to their parents and then Wal-
ter Scull went up and brought his
daughter home and Mrs. Botts follow-
ed and brought Carrie Smith back.
American Legion to Observe Armis-
tice Day Next Tuesday.
lican Legion has perfected plans for
| observing Armistice day next Tues-
day. The program provides for a
| public meeting in the Diamond at the
! zero hour (11 o’clock a. m.,) when the
address will be made by Rev. Wilson
i P. Ard. A parade will be held at two
| o'clock in the afternoon which will in- ’
{ clude the American Legion, Troop B, |
i fraternal organizations and the fite
| department. Following the parade
{ there will be a football game dn
| Hughes field between the Bellefonte
High and Huntingdon High school
teams. The receipts from this game
; will be divided between the American
‘Legion and the High school. On
| Tuesday evening the great military
| motion picture, “Powder River,” wiil
. be shown in the Moose Temple thea-
| tre, and in order to give everybody an
opportunity to see the picture it will
be repeated on Wednesday evening.
Boys Shot for Wild Turkeys.
On Tuesday morning Frank McMul-
| len, Lincoln Grubb and Edwin Thom-
as, three Coleville youths, went up on-
, to Muncy mountain to hunt wild tur-
‘keys. While wandering around they
discovered what they believed to be a
bee tree and sat down on a log to
{ watch it. While thus engaged they
, observed a man pass through the un-
' derbrush some distance away but paid
| little attention to him. Suddenly a
shot rang out and McMullen and
Grubb were peppered with shot. The
former was taken to the Centre Coun-
, ty hospital where as many of the lead-
en pellets as possible were removed,
. while Grubb was taken to his home
and underwent like treatment. The
, man who fired the shot was a fellow
' by the name of Bartley, of Unionville,
and his excuse was that he thought
the boys were turkeys sitting on a log.
gun of George Reeder, of Boggs town-
ship, was accidentally discharged,
tearing off a portion of the big toe on
his right foot.
Milesburg Starring in Music.
Some time ago we made note of the
fact that Fred Campbell, of Tyrone,
had been engaged by John Philip
Sousa, for the winter tour with his
band. It has developed since that di-
player, but a person also qualified in
both discretion and tact to be made
his private secretary.
Campbell, of Tyrone, and formerly of
Milesburg, where father Campbell
cultivated his love for music and gave
it expression through the baritone
‘horn that was always there in the dif-
ficult passages when the old Miles-
burg band was winning prizes at con-
tests.
Jim moved from Milesburg to Ty-
rone, to go railroading and his son
Fred was brought up in the shops
there and also interested in his dad’s
musical talent.
Then came Ward, another son, who
took up the saxophone, and has been
on tour with Waring’s Pennsylva-
nians for a long time, not only play-
ing the biggest time in the country
but making Victor records, as well.
“Rufus Rudolph,” sack flour by C. x
Indian, jar tobacco by C. C. Keichline—
5 Ib. box of candy, by Donovan & Bress-
Woodring, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Runkle, Mrs. .
Katz and Charles.

Rain Saved the Day for Hunters at
Opening of Season.
Consternation was thrown into the |
ranks of the hundreds of hunters in
Centre county when word came from
Harrisburg last Friday afternoon that
Governor Pinchot had placed a ban
upon hunting on the opening day ow-
ing to the extremely dry weather and
the danger of forest fires, but the ban
carried with it a proviso that in the
event of sufficient rain in any locality
hunting would be permitted. And
! then along comes the weather man on
Friday evening and poured down suf-
"ficient water to thoroughly wet down
‘the forests of Centre county, and
many enthusiastic sportsmen hied to
. the woods bright and early on Satur-
; day morning with visions of returning
i home with well filled game bags. But
a large percentage of them were dis-
{ appointed, especially those who went
‘after birds (pheasants), as this class
of game was unusually conspicuous
i for its scarcity.
Dr. J.J. Kirkpatrick, one of the
! best bird hunters in Bellefonte, went
out into the mountains where he felt
"sure he would get some good shoot-
ing, and while he was fortunate in
raising seven birds they all flushed
too far away for a good shot and he
never dropped a feather. W. C. Cox-
ey also had a good spot picked out but
he hunted all day without flushing a
single bird. So far as we have been
able to learn only two pheasants were
brought into Bellefonte on the open-
ing day, and they were by men from
the aviation field.
A number of turkeys were killed,
however, but not nearly as many as
usually are on the opening day. Out
at Pleasant Gap Miles Bilger and
Maurice Mulfinger each bagged one
on Saturday and George Hile got one
on Monday. Up Buffalo Run valley
Edward Jessop, W. K. Albright and
Boyd Spicher brought down their tur-
keys along the foothills of Muncy
mountain above Fillmore.
{ A number of squirrel hunters had
pretty good luck. H. B. Wagner, of
Bellefonte, came in with his limit of
six by nine o’clock. A State College
man, hunting in Buffalo Run valley,
shot six within a half hour, while oth-
er hunters in that locality also had
fair luck.
“Gander” Meyers and party bagged
| fourteen rabbits on the opening day.
[R. S. Melroy, of Pleasant Gap, got
!five bunnytails while a number of
hunters got two, three or four.
| SOME LUCKY HUNTERS IN FERGUSON
TOWNSHIP.
While very few pheasants were re-
ported in the bags of the many hunt-
ers who took to the slopes of Tussey
and into “the Barrens” of Ferguson
township, three turkeys, at least, and
quite a few rabbits and squirrel were
killed on the opening day. Melvin Pe-
ters, of the Glades, Eugene Irvin, of
Pennsylvania Furnace, and George
Elder, who lives near Lemont, each
shot a turkey in the vicinity of
i Sholl’s gap. Robert Reed, of the
i Glades, bagged six grey squirrels in
{ exactly forty-five minutes, while Ed-
, gar Brenninger and Milton Wieland
“and his son formed a trio who brought
in fourteen rabbits from “the Bar-
rens.”
¢ Chris Croyle, game warden in the
Snow Shoe section, was in town Mon-
day and said that very few birds,
meaning pheasants, had been brought
into that place on Saturday. Always,
iin the past, Snow Shoe was the place
where the big bags of pheasants were
reported, but as we are thinking now
jof dear old Bill Haynes, the Uzzle
boys and their cotemporaries, who
| knew the woods and were regular
. brush shooters, we might be wrong in
| thinking that game is scarce out
| there. It might be because Snow Shoe
. has produced no generation to succeed
the one we remember so well; that
crowd of splendid fellows who would
sooner hunt and fish than do anything
else we know of.
i
Masonic Temple Damaged by Fire.
The Masonic Temple, on Allegheny
street, was considerably damaged by
fire and water at noon on Tuesday.
The fire originated in the kitchen, in
the rear wing over the law office of
W. Harrison Walker, and though the
| firemen responded promptly to the
alarm the flames had spread to such
an extent that it was not possible to
extinguish them with the chemical
apparatus and the only alternative
was to turn on. the water. The fire-
men were able to confine the flames to
the kitchen, which was pretty = well
cleaned out, but the water complete-
ly flooded that portion of the building,
which included the library of W. Har-
rison Walker. The damage is mostly
covered by insurance.
Philipsburg Men Discharged for Lack
of Evidence.
Jay Price, William Fry, Joseph
Parsons and Lawrence Smith, the four
| young men of Philipsburg arrested by
state police two weeks ago on the
charge of being implicated in caus-
ing the death of Dewey Stratton, who
"perished in a shanty fire in Rush
township on the morning of October
: 2nd, were discharged for lack of in-
| criminating evidence presented at a
! habeas corpus hearing before Judge
Quigley last Thursday afternoon.
| Nothing was brought out to show that
‘the young men had anything to do
with starting the fire which burned
Tit shanty in which Stratton lost his
life.
——A small black bear was brought
into Gettig’s meat market on Monday,
having been confiscated from a party
! of small game hunters who killed the
" animal with a load of shot.

Wild Turkey Dinner at Port Matilda.
A family dinner was the result of
Alvah Weaver's good luck while hunt-
ing on the opening day. He is the
son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Dorie Ad-
ams, of Port Matilda, and it was at
their home that the table was spread
and the fine turkey hen, that dressed
nine pounds, was served to the happy
gathering.
All of the Adams children were
present. They were Mr. and Mrs.
Alvah Weaver, with their children,
Theodore, Axel, Mahlon, Gilbert, Paul,
Mary, Reuben and Charlotte; Mr. and
Mrs. W. G. Spicer and their children,
Axel and Frances; Mr. and Mrs. Al-
van Adams; Mrs. Clifton Goss and
her daughter Myrtle. Also Mr. and
Mrs. Lawrence Moore, with their chil-
dren, Clair and Clark.
It certainly was a happy party that
gathered about the festive table and
it was only natural that all should
have joined heartily in the wish that
Mr. Weaver would have continued
good luck as a hunter.
Last week we mentioned the fact
i that the Adams’ family were great
hunters, even though John Q. did run
down an old white mule when he
thought he was going to bag a coon.
They are great hunters because they
start early. Just last Sunday morn-
ing little Gilbert Adams caught three
rats in one “jump” trap that he had
set the night before.
A Book Shower.
A “book shower” having for its ob-
ject the recognition of Robert Louis
Stevenson’s birthday, and the need of
, additional books for the library, will
be held in the Y. M. C. A. on Thursday
afternoon and evening, November
13th. Generous contributions of fic-
tion, of reference and stories for the
young, will be greatly appreciated by
the members of the adult department;
the girls’ library and the boys’ libra-
ry. The Woman’s Auxiliary of the Y.
M. C. A. is most urgent in its appeal
for books at this particular time.
HELEN E. C. OVERTON.
Stevens—Hoy.—Vincent H. Stevens,
son of Dr. Stevens, of McConnells-
burg, and Miss Twila Virginia Hoy,

Jacob F. Hoy, of Bellefonte, were
married in St. John’s Reformed
church, at 7:30 o'clock on Wednesday
evening, by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Am-
brose M. Schmidt. Only members of
the immediate families and a few in-
timate friends were present to wit-
ness the ceremony.
After a brief wedding trip Mr. and
Mrs. Stevens will be at home in their
own furnished apartment in the Hoy
home on south Thomas street.
The Riley Hunting Camp Entertains.
The members of the Riley hunting
party, of Boalsburg, opened their
fine camp in the Bear Meadows, last
Saturday night, for the annual enter-
tainment that always precedes the
opening of the hunting season.
The members took their wives with
them and had a most enjoyable time
both before and after the oyster feast
which was the special lure of this
year’s event.
Noon-day Prayer for American Youth.
As part of the Father and Son week
observance, the Y. M. C. A. will hold
a fifteen minute service of prayer in
the community room at the building,
each noon of next week, beginning at
twelve and closing at twelve-fifteen.
The meetings are for men and the
purpose to meet in prayer for the
youth and a new world. Dr. John R.
Mott has sent out a strong appeal that
all associations unite in the appeal.
