George T. Bush to Make Tour of
Alaska.
Writing from San Francisco, Cal.,
George T. Bush states that he has
finally secured tickets for a tour of
Alaska and will sail for that country
the latter part of this week from Van-
couver on the steamer Princess Char-
lotte, of the Canadian Pacific Railway
company. The trip will include one
thousand miles by boat to Skagway,
170 miles by rail over the Chilcoot
pass and down the Yukon river 570
miles to Dawson City, the heart of the
Klondyke. The trip going and return-
ing will take three weeks and he an-
ticipates getting back for the opening
of the Knights Templar convention in
Seattle the latter part of this month.
Writing from San Francisco Mr.
Bush says:
' Met Harry Wetzel on the street here
the other evening and the pleasure of
seeing some one from Bellefonte was
mutual. Harry is now bacteriologist
at the Morton hospital, a very good
position. He likes the work and the
country.
Before leaving Los Angeles I met
a Famous Players company making
pictures on Catalina Island, off that
city, and the camera man of the
troupe was Guy Wilkey, the chap who
took the big railroad wreck picture on
the Allopopper railroad at Philipsburg
in 1914. ‘Through him I met several
members of the company, among them
Tom Moore and Pat O’Malley, who
have been featured as stars for sever-
al years.
Will leave here Tuesday (June
23rd) for Medford, Oregon and spend
a few days on the ranch with Harry’s
wife. Harry has gone down to Colom-
bia on a wild cat exploring expedition,
taking along a small motor engine
with which he plans to propel a boat
up the Colombia river as far as nav-
igable. Then secure native transpor-
tation and go on the hunt of another
“River of Doubt.”
Intend stopping one day in Port-
land, Oregon, and seeing in the
“Watchman” that Mr. and Mrs. John
Rummel have located there will hunt
them up.
Have had fine weather ever since I
landed on the coast. Here in San
Francisco the weather has been quite
cool and overcoats and wraps are in
demand in the evenings.
: Following the Knights Templar
convention in Seattle will return by
Minneapolis to Duluth, take the Ca-
nadian boat to Detroit, and from there
go to Toronto for the big exposition,
expecting to arrive home about Sep-
tember first.

at State College.
Roy Schuyler Goss, member of 2
well known Ferguson township fami- |

who owns the building in which the
print shop was located, forced open
the locked door and found Goss’ dead

Hours Reduced and Wages Increased
at Penitentiary.
A new schedule of duty hours was
put into effect at the Rockview peni-
tentiary on July first for the various
guards. Heretofore they have been
working twelve and fourteen hour
shifts but beginning on Wednesday
the time was changed to two ten and
one four hour turn. This was accom-
plished by the putting on of a number
of new guards. In addition to the les-
sening of the hours the rate of pay
was increased ten to twenty dollars
per month, according to the number of
years the guards have been in service.
These changes have been made possi-
ble through the increased appropria-
tion for maintenance granted by the
last Legislature.
A surprise birthday party was
held on Tuesday at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Waldo Homan, at Oak Hall,
in honor of D. F. Homan, of State Col-
lege, who attained his seventieth an-
niversary. The elder Homans lived
on the farm now occupied by their son
Waldo for thirty-five years, rearing a
family of nine children, but retired a
few years ago and moved to State Col-
lege. One hundred guests were pres-
ent at Tuesday’s gathering, which in-
cluded their children, grand-children,
relatives and friends. A big dinner
was served at six o'clock to which all
did ample justice,
THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
How and Where You Can Celebrate
the Day.
Forty or fifty years ago the Fourth
of July meant patriotic celebrations in
‘évery city, town and hamlet. Meet-
ings were held and patriotic speeches
made by men of well known stump
speaker propensity. Brass bands
day was universally recognized as one
on which to celebrate what our fore-
fathers did on that same day in 1776.
But times have changed. The brass
band of that day has been supplanted
by the silver cornet band, and the pa-
triotic melodies by jazz music. The
rip-roaring celebration has given way
to picnics and motor parties and about
the only patriotic feeling engendered
in the breasts of the young is a thirst
for ice cream, lemonade and movie
tickets.
But such is life and Bellefonte will
as celebrating is concerned. The Lo-
gans will have their big annual picnic
at Hecla park and thither most resi-
dents of the town will wend their way,
| weather being auspicious. The I. O.
10. F. band will be on hand to furnish
music and a splendid orchestra will
play for the dancing, afterncon and
evening. At three o'clock in the
! afternoon Bellefonte and Hecla Park
| will play ball and this will be one of
‘the big drawing cards.
| State College will have its own cel-
“ebration and both morning and after-
| noon ball games between Millheim and
| State College.
{ The fact that Troop B is going tc
: Lewistown will likely result in a num-
| ber of people going over there for the
| closing day of that town’s Old Home
| week, a few Bellefonters having spent
! the most of the week there. Snow
Shoe will have its own celebration
while Philipsburg people will proba- |
i bly go to Clearfield where the Ameri-
Down at Lewisburg the American Le-
ty. The best thing to do, therefore,
is go to Hecla park and spend the day
with the fire laddies.
In this connection we have been
handed an old program of Bellefonte’s
celebration in 1876, which was as fol-
lows:
PROGRAMME.

discharge of each gun.
At ten minutes of six in the morn-
ing, all the bells to be rung again, con-
tinuing until six o’clock, when one

Condemned Man Gets News of Respite
as He Enters Death House.
Angelo Cicero, an Italian shoe-
maker of Loyalhanna, Westmoreland
county, who on July 4th, 1922, killed
Earl D. Shoup, was brought to Rock-
view on Saturday by sheriff William
Fightner and deputy James B. Smail
for electrocution on Monday morning,
but just as the condemned man was
taken into the death house deputy
warden W. J. McFarland was in the
act of receiving a message from the
Governor’s office in Harrisburg in-
forming him that a respite had been
‘ granted Cicero from June 29th to Oc-
tober 5th, in order to permit of his
case being again taken before the Su-
preme court. It was also ordered that

| Little Girl Killed on Auto Trip.
Last Saturday morning Rev. E. A.
; Wilson, pastor of the Methodist
{ church at Osceola Mills, with his wife
| and three children, and accompanied
by Mrs. J. W. Greist, started on a mo-
tor trip to Hazleton to attend the
marriage of Mrs. Wilson's sister. Just
outside of Danville the minister was
in the act of passing a team and a car
going in the same direction when he
was confronted with a Ford car com-
ing toward him. To avoid a collision
he turned sharply to the left and col-
lided with a mailbox. The top of the
car was thrown back striking Mrs.
Griest and the minister’s four year
old daughter Jean. The latter was
fatally injured and died in the Dan-
ville hospital the same afternoon.
i Mrs. Griest’s injuries were not ser-
ious. The body of the child was taken
to Hazleton where burial was made
on Monday.

S. A. Robinson, Snow Shoe, Appointed
Justice of Peace.
iS. A. Robinson, of Snow Shoe, was
appointed a_justice of the peace last
| Friday by Governor Pinchot. ’Squire
| Robinson, it will be recalled, is the
man who after his election several
years ago failed to lift his commis-
sion but went right ahead and filled
the office, officiating at weddings and
performing all other acts of a legally
elected and commissioned justice of
the peace. Because of this fact a spe-
cial act was passed by the last Legis-
lature legalizing all acts of the
Squire, and his appointment now will
enable him to continue to perform the
duties of his office.
——From all reports
! people are responding liberally to the
appeal from the New York Tribune
fresh air fund for tenement. children
of that city. One Bellefonte wom-
an made this characteristic response:
“1’] take two, and I don’t care whether
they are male or female, black or
white.” Any person who is willing to
take any of the children for the two
weeks beginning July 17th, and has
not been approached as yet, should
get in touch with Rev. Steely ov any
member of the committee mentioned
in last week’s paper.

six years old, of Allegheny county,

picious persons. Edwards’ body was

Turkey Gobbler.
Roaming the foothills of the Alle-
gheny mountains back of Martha Fur-
nace is a wild turkey gobbler that will
probably tip the beam at 25 pounds;
first day of April after being on short
rations all winter. The size of this
gobbler is not mere guess work on the
part of the writer, but actual fig-
ures given by Mr. G. E. Ardery, a
farmer living near Martha, who
weighed the gobbler on All Fool’s day,
and here is how he was able to do it:
During the greater part of the win-
ter a flock of the wild birds came off
the mountain into his fields to feed.
Gradually they came closer to the
farm buildings until finally the gob-
bler ventured into the barnyard. Mr.
Ardery has turkeys of his own and
early in the spring, as mating season
drew near, the wild gobbler became al-
most a daily visitor and preening his
| feathers began a flirtation with the
| turkey hens in the Ardery flock.
|" This evidently did not meet with the
{approval of the domesticated gobbler,
i and finally, on the first day of April,
! Mr. Ardery heard a terrific commotion
i out back of his barn. Going out to
' see what the trouble was Le found the
i two gobblers engaged in a battle for
i the supremacy of the flock. As he ap-
| proached they ‘both had a neck grip
{and paid no attention to him. He
| walked right up to the fighting birds
i and grabbed the wild turkey by the
neck. Gathering the bird in his arms
{ he was impressed at the size of him,
i so took him to the house and weighed
{ him, and that’s how he knows he
! weighed 22 pounds.
After weighing him he placed him
. such a racket that he finally released
‘him and he promptly started for his
| habitat in the mountains, stopping |
"every now and then to look back and
shake his head, but finally took to
wing and sailed majestically into the
foothills. From that day to this Mr.
gion and the cavalry troop will have a | and on reaching here was taken to the A : %

Keystone Swine Growers to Take
| Auto Tour. °
Swine growers of Centre county
, will have an opportunity to take two
automobile tours this summer.
The first is into the Shenandoah
! valley of Virginia, July 30th and 31st.
This region is within easy access, es-
' pecially to the breeders and farmers
of eastern Pennsylvania. The objec-
tive of this trip is New Market, Vir-
ginia. Those on the trip will visit
breeders of four different breeds of
swine, sheep and beef cattle, In addi-
tion they will have an; opportunity to
see the beautiful Shenandoah valley.
i The second trip, especially appro-
! priate for swine breeders of the west-
| ern part of the State, will be to Woos-
ter, Ohio, and back on August 12th
‘and 13th. The Ohio experiment sta-
tion at Wooster is conducting some of
the most extensive investigations in
: swine feeding and management of any
in the country. This will be a fine op-
. portunity to get the latest experimen-
: tal information. A tour of the exper-
‘imental farm the.e will also be made,
permitting observance of the latest
methods in all branches of agricul-
i ture. County agent R. C. Blaney an-
| nounces that he will supply any who
‘is interested with all details of the
i trips.

open it with a five minutes prayer of a applicant. The first to be admitted Dog and Rooster Stage Daily Battles.
For some years Ed. Dorman has
‘been a very efficient motor mechanic
(in one of Bellefonte’s garages. He
lives at Snydertown and commutes
weekly. While he is away his very
precocious fox terrior has taken on
| the duty of guarding the home. Not
1
| to be outdone his old Plymouth Rock
i rooster seems to have arrogated to
"itself a peculiar, proprietory authority
! over the poultry yard.
The dog and the rooster have lorded
it over the front and back yards until
each has become so jealous of its au-
thority that a rough and tumble fight
is started the instant one of them im-
pinges in the slightest way on the ter-
ritory of the other.
The fights are real. Often the blood
flows until the combatants are covered
with it. The rooster has very large
spurs and time and again succeeds in
burying them in the dog’s body. For
hours at a time, and often until both
are utterly exhausted, the two will
| fight so desperately as to attract the
| attention of passing motorists who
stop to watch the fray.

Michael Bassi and Tony Pezzi,
‘the two Italians convicted in Cambria
county for the murder of James Gar-
man, last October, when a $33,000
payroll of the Cambria and Indiana
railroad company was stolen, were
brought to the death house at Rock-
view on Tuesday, although the date of |
their electrocution is not until Sep-
tember 21st. A dozen guards in four
automobiles composed the escort of
the two condemned men. The only
! reason that can be assigned for their
"transfer to Rockview at this time is
fear of their escape from the Ebens-
burg jail, as they had already made
cone attempt.

Stump—Woomer.—The wedding of
Ford Lewis Stump and Miss Thelma
Irvine Woomer, both of State College,
took place in the Methodist church at
that place at 9 o’clock last Saturday
morning. The church was very artis-
tically decorated for the occasion with
greens and the season’s flowers. A
large number of guests were present
to witness the ceremony which was
performed by the pastor, Rev. Arch-
ibald E. Mackie, the ring service being
used. The bride was attended by her
sister, Miss Ethel Woomer, as maid
of honor, while the bridesmaids were
Miss Esther Hartswick, Miss Doro-
thea Dreiblebis, Miss Mary Edmiston
and Miss E. V. Dale. Seven year old
Grace Woomer was flower girl and the
best man Thomas Liddick. Mis. J.
Max Kirkpatrick played the wedding
march and Miss Virginia Dale sang
“Oh, Promise Me.” The bride was
given in marriage by her father, Wal-
ter W. Woomer.
Following the ceremony a big re-
ception was held at the home of the

bert Addams Beaver, eldest son of Gen.
| James A. Beaver (deceased), and Mrs.
{ Beaver, of Bellefonte, was married to
Miss Jean Calderwood Keir, a daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Calder-
| wood Keir, of Seymour, Conn. Only
immediate members of the family and
a few intimate friends were present to
witness the ceremony, which took
place on the lawn at the Seymour
home, and was performed by Rev. Ray
Sanford, pastor of the Spring street
Presbyterian church in New York city,
of which both the bride and bride-
groom are members.
The bride is a graduate of Mount
Holyoke College and among the
guests at the wedding were a few of
her college classmates. For several
years past she has been in charge of
the Spring street neighborhood home
in New York city, where she had been
engaged in settlement work. Mr. and
Mrs. Beaver will reside at Yorktown
Heights, N. Y.
A Good Year for Honey.
Any person who has been attending
i the recently established curb market
in Bellefonte has no doubt been im-
‘ pressed with the liberal supply of hon-
| ey offered for sale, as well as the fine
! quality of same, and inquiry of the
| bee-keepers has disclosed the fact that
so far this has been one of the best
‘seasons for honey in a number of
years.
Bernard Stover, who lives down the
Jacksonville road, near the Curtin
gap, has seventeen scaps of bees and
so far he has removed from them 136
pounds of honey and the scaps now
contain about 100 pounds ready for
removal. The honey is very light in
color and of unusually fine flavor. Mr.
Stover ascribes the success of his bees
so far to the unusually bountiful sup-
ply of white clover, which he avers is
the biggest he has seen in years. Last
vear he had nineteen scaps of bees and
his entire season's supply oi honey
did not exceed 250 pounds.

After trying out a number of
camping places throughout central
Pennsylvania the forestry students of
State College, about twenty in num-
ber, have gone back to their first love,
their old camping site on the Wash-
ington Furnace tract south of Lamar,
Clinton county. They have found that
spot to be the best for their outdoor
work in forestry and putting the
woods in shape for fire fighting pur-
poses, building culverts, bridges,
etc. And it is just possible that the
young foresters have been attracted
back to their old camp because of their
zest for rattlesnakes, as a forester’s
camp without a rattlesnake feast to
flavor it would be devoid of any
thrilling episodes.
— While not generally known it is
a fact, nevertheless, that the average
automobile tourist of these days has
developed a very generous and un-
selfish spirit. Many of them, who
have room in their cars, stop on the
highways and give pedestrians a ride
to their destination, while it has al-
most become a custom for tourists to
inquire at hotels before leaving for
their next stopping place if there is
ay person going their way, and offer-
ing to take them along.

court.
