dollars. Entrance was made through
a cellar window.
Leaman A. Lyons and Edward

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 Academy—West Virginia
Game Tomorrow.
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.

Centre County’s Official Vote.
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:

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.

copal church. Those who took part
