Van Valkenberg has re- signed as editor of the Philadelphia North American, effective yesterday. Whether this will mean any change in the policy of the paper remains. to be seen. A shanty out at the Whiterock Quarries was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning bet veen five and six o’clock. The light from the burning building was seen by a number of Bellefonte people. : Bellefonte Chapter No. 350 Or- der of the Eastern Star will hold a card party on Monday evening, No- vember 17th, at 8:30 o’clock, in the I. 0. 0. F. hall. Admission 50 cents. Proceeds for charity. ———The total receipts from the Elks Hallow-een carnival and dance were $1,220.

The Cleveland orchestra of eighty pieces will give a concert in the Schwab auditorium, at State Col- lege, next Monday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock. The musicians will probably spend Monday night in Bellefonte. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Beaver, Mr. and Mrs. Paul D. Sheffer and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Morris comprise a hunting party that Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Dorworth are entertaining at their lodge on Fishing creek this week. Robbers forced an entrance to the John H. Beck store, at Snyder- town, last Friday night, and carried away merchandise of various kinds to an estimated value of one hundred dollars. Entrance was made through a cellar window. Leaman A. Lyons and Edward Baney, the two woung men of Belle- fonte arrested last week on the charge of transporting young girls, were re- leased on Friday, as an investigation failed to disclose any foundation for the charge. In the neighborhood of fifty members of the Bellefonte Lodge of Odd Fellows went to Williamsport on Monday evening and put on the third degree for one of the lodges in that city. The trip was made in two of the Emerick busses and the party arrived home about one o’clock on Tuesday morning. The Rev. Frank Wetzel, of Ak- ron, Ohio, who has been a guest of his sister, Mrs. Jared Harper, for the past week, was a guest of honor at a family party given by Mrs. Harper last night, at her home on Thomas street. This get-together of the Wet- zel family was in celebration of Rev. Wetzel’s seventy-second birthday. Why travel out into the coun- try on the hunt of pictures of natural scencry when you can go to the Scen- is and see the best motion pictures made, which include big features, dra- mas, comics as well as the beauties of nature. Better pictures cannot be see: anywhere than those at this pop- ular movie house. Get the movie hab- it and see all of them. One of the big trout which has bezn rather conspicuous on the spawn- ing beds in Spring creek, opposite the “Watchman” office was discovered yesterday morning lying along the wall, a short distance north of the High street bridge, with one side of its jaw almost torn away. In fact it had all the appearance of having been grappled but owing to its size and weight the grapple tore through the jaw instead of holding long enough to land the fish. ——The Penn State football team staged a regular comeback, on Sat- urday, by defeating the strong Carne- gies Tech team 22 to 7. Though it was Pennsylvania day at State Col- lege, with many week-end house par- ties and a special train load of Tech rooters, the crowd was not nearly as large as that two weeks previous for the State-Syracuse game. State will play Penn at Philadelphia tomorrow and her followers are all anxious to see her bring home the bacon, but to do so she will have to put up a stiff game as Penn so far has not been de- feated this year. ——The Bellefonte Academy foot- ball team played spectacular ball at Easton, on Saturday, defeating the Layfayette Freshmen by the seore of 51 to 0. Remarkable as it may seem not a point has been scored against the Academy this season, while they have rolled up the big total of 336 points, and have played much strong- er teams than generally appear upon their schedule. Two weeks ago they played the Pitt Freshmen, at Greens- burg, a scoreless game while last Sat- Yrday Pitt defeated the State College reshmen 12 to 0." So far there is no ' drgument as'to the Academy béing the champion prep team in the State. | ARMISTICE DAY CELEBRATED. Parade the Chief Feature of the Day in Bellefonte. : ‘Six years ago on Tuesday, at 11 o’clock a. m., the great guns ceased firing and the armistice went into ef- fect that finally resulted in the end- ing of the world war which devastat- ed all of Europe in one way or anoth- er and rocked the world from pole to pole. What more fitting than that those who took part in the great strug- gle should commemorate the day in celebration of the event. In Bellefonte the members of Brooks-Doll post American Legion were in charge. For a week previous a gang of men were at work drilling holes in the pavement on both sides of the street through the business sec- tion of the town, which were used as seats for flag poles, and the Stars and Stripes waved gloriously from the railroad station to the Diamond and on Allegheny street from Pike alley to Bishop street. : At five minutes of eleven o’clock all the whistles and most of the bells in town sent forth peans of rejoicing as they did on that day six years pre- vious, which was a prelude to the pa- rade held in the afternoon at two o’clock. In the line were a squad of : Troop B, the Odd Fellows band, American Legion, Bellefonte troop of Boy Scouts and the Howard troop of Boy Scouts, the P. O. S. of A,, led by its own drum corps, the Elks Lodge and the Logan and Undine Fire com- panies. Forming at the armory they parad- ed through the principal streets of the town, disbanding in the Diamond. At three o’clock the Bellefonte High school football team engaged the Huntingdon High on Hughes field, defeating them by the score of 33 to 13. In the evening the great war pic- ture, “Powder River,” was shown at the Moose Temple theatre and thus ended the sixth anniversary of the signing of the Armistice. Bears Rob Apple Orchard at The Dim Lantern. On the Dim Lantern property at Runville, is a small apple orchard which contains some excellent fruit, among the varieties being several trees of Baldwins. The trees had con- siderable fruit on this year but day by day the apples were disappearing and Mrs. Clara Iddings, who is asso- ciated with Miss Ruth Garman in conducting the Dim Lantern, blamed the robbery on boys. Last Friday afternoon she took a basket and went into the orchard to pick up the apples that had fallen over night and discovered a bulky form under one of the best trees which she took for a young man in the act of picking up the apples. Thinking to catch him in the act she went as qui- etly as possible until she got close enough to see, when she made the startling discovery that the robber was a huge black bear, and that he was feasting on the much prized ap- ples. The bear discovered her about the same time and quitting his feast made for the bushes. Mrs. Iddings avers that she also heard two other bears in the underbrush but she did not tar- ry long to investigate. Dropping her basket she ran back to the house as quickly as possible. Other parties have also seen the bear in the orchard and several hunters, including W. H. Garman, are laying for a chance to get a shot at them. On Monday afternoon Newton Louck was hunting in the woods above Runville when he came across a cub bear and laid it low with the first shot. This is probably one of the bears referred to in the above story, and which was helping to rob the Dim Lantern apple orchard. FERGUSON TOWNSHIP HUNTERS BAG THEEE BEARS ON MONDAY. A half dozen or more members of the Rossman hunting club, of Bailey- ville, went out onto the ridge between Fairbrook and Gatesburg, on Monday, on the hunt of small game but got in- to a regular bear’s nest and forgot to look for anything smaller. The “bear’s nest” included a monster she bear and two cubs and the lucky nimrods suc- ceeded in bagging all of them. The lucky shots were R. E. Rossman and Earl Smetzler, of Baileyville, and William Bilger, of Pleasant Gap. At noontime on Tuesday four hunt- ers from Mahaffey, Clearfield county, came into Bellefonte with a big she bear and a cub strapped on the run- ning board of their car. The animals were killed near Cross Forks, Pot- ter county, by R. E. Johnson. The old bear would probably weigh 250 pounds and had a splendid pelt. Three Lucky Pleasant Gap Hunters. Three Pleasant Gap sportsmen have been in luck during the week. Going up on Nittany mountain on Wednes- day morning Ed. Mulfinger bagged an eighteen pound wild turkey and Sam Weaver got one that weighed nineteen pounds. On Tuesday evening Free- mont Hile shot a nine pound hen. — The Bellefonte Academy foot- ball management has decided to make Saturday’s game between the cham- pion Academy team and the West Vir- ginia Freshmen, ladies day, when all ladies and girls will be admitted free to Hughes field. They were inspired to this generous impulse because this will play at home and they wish to give every woman and girl in Belle- fontée an’ opportunity to see the team {in action.” The game will be called promptly at 2:30 o'clock p. m. will be the last game the Academy Celebrated Golden Wedding. Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Struble, of State College, celebrated their golden wed- ding anniversary at the Centre Hills Country club last Wednesday even- ing. In the neighborhood of one hun- dred guests were present the largest percentage being relatives of this well known couple. Mr. Struble is a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Struble | and his wife was Miss Alice Fye, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Da- vid Fye, both families being promi- nent in the history of College and Fer- guson townships for the last century. Mr. and Mrs. Struble have four chil- dren, Olin, Forrest, Frederick and Mrs. James Holmes, all residents of State College. Bellefonte Chapter, D. A. R. The November meeting of the Belle- fonte Chapter of the D. A. R. was held at the home of Mrs. R. G. H. Hayes, Thursday evening of last week, Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Harry Keller, Mrs. John P. Lyon and Mrs. Clevan Dinges act- ing as hostesses. Reports of the State conference held in Johnstown in Oc- tober, were given to a large assem- blage of members, by Mrs. Mary Ir- vine Boyd, sister of the headmaster, of Mercersburg Academy, and by Mrs. Edwin Erle Sparks, ex-State Re- gent of Pennsylvania. Among the names proposed for membership were those of Miss Olive B. Mitchell, Mrs. William C. Thomp- son and Miss Helen Harper. Left $3,000 for Evangelical Church. Miss Sophia S. Rockey, who died at her home in Hublersburg last week, left an estate estimated at from $12,- 000 to $14,000. She was the last of her generation but had a number of nieces and nephews and a host of in- timate friends, most of whom were re- membered in her will with bequests ranging from $25 to $500. One spe- cial bequest made was $3,000 to any Evangelical congregation in Centre county without a church as the nu- cleus of a fund towards building a place of worship, but the legacy must be clamied within one year. If there is more than one claimant the selec- tion of the beneficiary is left up to her executor, S. P. Hockman, of Hub- lersburg. Dr. Kilpatrick’s Car Recovered. Stolen, but About ten o’clock on Saturday evening Dr. J. J. Kilpatrick drove his Ford coupe down town and parked it in front of the Bon Mot. Along about twelve o’clock, when he was ready to go home, his car was gone. The Belle- fonte police were notified as soon as possible but no trace of the car could be found in Bellefonte. On Monday morning the police were notified. of an , abandoned car having been discovered along the road in the foothills of the Allegheny mountains north of Curtin and the doctor went out and found it to be his car. It had evidently been taken by some person stranded in Bellefonte who was anxious to get home and then abandoned it. The car was not damaged and Dr. Kilpatrick drove it home, glad to get it back so easily. “My China Doll” Coming. Manager L. J. Toner, of the Moose Temple theatre announcesa new at- traction for the evening of Wednes- day, November 26th. It is called “My China Doll.” The musical comedy is in its second year, in itself a record. Its stop here for one performance will afford local theatre-patrons their first view of this much talked of show. The books, lyrics and music are by Charles George, America’s youngest composer. Mr. George, while still in his twenties, has had a number of shows see the light of day on Broad- ! way. “My China Doll” is his latest success, and by critics has been pro- claimed the “perfect musical comedy.” Tuneful melodies, a rapid change of scenes, a plot with a real story woven in it and a corps de ballet of good- looking girls, who can dance and sing, all combine to insure an evening of real pleasure. Barbara Bronell, fa- mous dancer, who is starring in this success, is ably supported by a metro- politan cast, including Bessie Delmore, Betty Montgomery, Lottie Proctor, Arthur Bauman, William P. Murphy, Roy Peck, Tom Crowley and George Ellis. Great De Mille Spectacle Coming. The coming of “The Ten Command- ments” to the Moose Temple theatre, Wednesday, November 19th, matinee and night, should be greatly anticipat- ed. This gorgeous dramatic spectacle of Cecil B. De Mille has created a furore in New York, London, and the large cities of two continents. It comes here following a run of five weeks at the National theatre in Washington. The company carries its own orchestra and Dr. Hugo Riesen- feld’s brilliant score will be played by twenty musicians. “The Ten Commandments” is a pic- torial narrative of the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt; the miracles that were performed for their safe- | guarding, and the bestowal of the tablets of stone upon Moses, together with a melodramatic modern story of the danger of transgressing against the ancient fundamental laws. Twen- ty-five hundred people were employed | in making the ‘picture and the con- struction of the buildings required was the labor of many months. The result is the ‘most impressive motion picture so far made. | Miss Lyon to Play “the Melodrama of Enoch Arden.” I The Woman’s club of Bellefonte will present the melodrama of “Enoch ‘ Arden,” in the Presbyterian chapel on the evening of Monday, November 24th, at 8 o'clock. Mrs. Orvis-Harvey, | reader; Miss Rebecca Pugh Lyon, at the piano. The musical setting to Tennyson’s famous poem was composed by Rich- i ard Strauss, toward the end of the '| 19th century. It was first presented in i America by the composer and a noted German actor. At that time it excited | considerable interest and criticism, on account of its peculiar dissonances, chromatic progressions and changes of key. Since that time, however, mod- ern composers have so accustomed our ears to lack of tonality aand harmon- ic eccentricities that the music of Richard Strauss who, is after all, a be- liever in tonality and always comes back to the key, seems by comparison almost orthodox or at least conserva- tive. Strauss is the most famous expo- nent of programme music which had | its rise under Berlioz and Lizst about 11830. The other great influence on | his art was Richard Wagner, from i whom he inherited the idea of the leading motive which, although used by earlier composers was so exten- sively developed by Wagner in his op- eras as to be indissolubly associated ! with his name and called the Wagner- (ian principle. It is this principle | which is the basis of the music of { “Enoch Arden.” As very clearly ex- | pressed by Daniel Gregory Mason, “a : musical motive is a number of notes . grouped into a pattern, just as a num- ber of words, which belong together, are grouped in poetry.” Strauss’s melodrama opens with the sea motive, which consists of some { rapid passage work intended by its i rythm and color to prepare our mu- "sical consciousness for the descrip- tion of the sea coast, which follows. Then come the three motives associ- ated with the leading characters in the poem. They are quite distinct from each other and accompany any action on the part of Annie, Philip or Enoch. As is well known much of the emo- tional power of music is due to the used, through the medium of the lead- ing motive, by the master hand of Richard Strauss, to intensify and | deepen the effect of the poem, which is responsible for the dramatic appeal of the melodrama. Enoch Arden has been presented by Miss Lyon several times in the vi- cinity of Philadelphia, but this will fonte will have the privilege of hear- force of association and it is this force .

Bellefonte football fans will have ‘the opportunity to see a real football game tomorrow when the West Va. Freshmen will make their first appear- aance on Hughes field as opponents of the unbeaten and unscored upon Acad- ‘emy team. These teams have played twice at Morgantown, W. Va., the | Academy winning the first game and | West Virginia the second, so that to- morrow’s game will be in a way a test for supremacy. Last year the south- (ern lads scored 21 points in one quar- ter against the Penn State Freshmen . at State College. They are the equals : of the Pitt Freshmen which the Ae¢ad- i emy held to a scoreless tie two weeks | ago. On the visiting team will be four college players that coach Snavely . protested because they are members of the upper classes in the college and should not be playing on a Fresh- men eleven against an Academy team, but the authorities refused to take them off. The Academy management wished to give the fans a real foot- ball thrill, as all the other home games have been one-sided, and so withdrew . the protest. The players referred to are Lathan, who played on Bob Hig- gins Bachanan Wesleyan team last year; Joe Preece, who captained | “Pitt” Freshmen last year; Giltert, { Carnegie Tech’s ’Varsity centre last | year, and elected captain for this | year’s team, and Hamilton, of Carne- gie Tech’s Freshmen team last year. So the fans can see the calibre of the eleven the Academy lads must face { this Saturday. Go out and cheer the ! locals to victory. You will get your | money’s worth. Time, 2:30 p. m. Place, Hughes field. Admission, $1.00. Special Services in Boalsburg Luth- eran Church.

The official count of the vote of Centre county at the election on Tues- day, November 4th, was begun last Thursday under the supervision of Judge Henry C. Quigley, and was made by prothonotary Roy Wilkinson, D. R. Foremaan and John Love Esq. It took until Monday afternoon to complete the count, owing to the large number of presidential electors. Only minor changes are shown from the to- tals given in last week’s paper with the exception of the vote on the Leg- islature, Mr. Noll’s vote being almost three hundred more than given in the unofficial count, and on the constitu- tional amendment, which showed over twelve hundred more against it than was given last week. How these very decided discrepancies occurred can only be accounted for in the fact that incorrect figures must have been en- tered upon the No. 2 return sheet from which the newspaper men got their reports last week. The official count for the principal offices is given as fol- lows: For President: Coolidge - - - - - 7723 Davis - - - - - 4443 LaFollette - - - - 73 Faris - - - - - 122 Nations - - - - - 2 Judge of Superior Court: Trexler - - - - - 7328 Klinglesmith - - - 4267 State Treasurer: Lewis - - - - - 7286 Ermentrout - - - - 4307 Auditor General: Martin - - - - - 7224 Collins - - - - - 4334 Congress: Swoope - - - - - 80 Benson - - - - - 4769 Assembly: . lolmes - - - - - 7406 Noll. - - - - 5189 Constitutional Amendment: For - - - - - - 1229 Against - - - - - T79¢ Young People’s County Conference. The fourth annual county confer- ence of the young people’s department of the Centre county Sunday schools will be held in Bellefonte on Saturday, November 22nd. Each Sunday school in the county is entitled and requested to send two girls and two boys, be- tween the ages of 12 and 24 years, and one adult as delegates. The program that has been planned can best be carried out by the co-op- eration of all who are interested in young people and the building up of Christ’s kingdom. The program will be printed in next week’s paper. Girls and boys, whether a delegate or not, are urged to attend the confer- ence. Esther I. Williams, one of the State workers and an especial friend of young people, will be present as one of the speakers. It will be a treat for all to hear her talk. Margaret Ferree, of Oak Hall, was recently appointed superintendent of the young people’s department in Cen- tre county, and is working hard to make the coming conference one of the best ever held in the county. Forty-three Bellefonte merch- ants are represented in the “buy-at- home” advertising campaign now be- ing conducted by the “Watchman.” Practically every line of business is represented and every reader of this paper should consult the advertise- ments on page six and then investi- gate what the merchants have to of- fer. It is really surprising how many Bellefonte people do the greater part of their buying out of town, as evi- denced by the vast sum of money sent through the postoffice and banks. And it is just possible that some of the merchants themselves practice what they are preaching against. But if seveny-five per cent. of the money sent to the cities was spent at home it would mean a much bigger business for all the business men, and possibly afford a reduction in price. During the statistical year just closed the Blue Valley creamery in- stitute reports that the number of dai- ry cows, over two years old, in Cen- tre county, has increased 2.8 per cent. over the preceding year. It is inter- esting to note that there must be an annual increase of 320,000 cows if the milk and butter output of the country is to keep pace with its normal growth in demand. ! Mrs. Schloss and Mrs. A. Fau- ble were hostesses at a card supper given in the dining room of the Brock- erhoff house, Thursday evening of last week. Eight tables of five hundred were in play, Miss Frieda Baum tak- ing first prize, while Mrs. Schlow had second. ! Mr. and Mrs. Fred Crafts are receiving congratulations on the birth of a little daughter, who was born yesterday morning at their home on Spring street. Green and White Revue. Rehearsals for the Green and White Revue, the woman’s minstrel which will be given in the near future, will begin next Monday evening at 7:30, at the parish house of St. John’s Epis- copal church. Those who took part last year in the Black and White Re- vue, and any others who would like to enter this year, are asked to report at this time. W. C.
