Big Swine Tour to Shenandoah Valley.
Last year all the swine breeders and
farmers interested in swine in Penn-
sylvania made a successful automobile
tour to the government experiment
station at Beltsville, Md., and to the
National capital. This trip proved to
be so profitable that the breeders re-
quested a similar trip this year. In
order to make these tours more con-
venient to the breeders in all sections
of the State, two trips are being plan-
ned this summer by the animal hus-
bandry specialists at The Pennsylva-
nia State College.
The trip for those in eastern Penn-
sylvania will be through the beautiful
Shenandoah valley of Virginia, start-
ing from Chambersburg, Pa., at ten
o'clock the morning of July 30th,
going as far down the valley as New
Market, Virginia. A night trip will
be made through the wonderful end-
less caverns and the next morning
four stops will be made, at leading
livestock farms in the Shenandoah
valley, giving those on the trip an op-
portunity to see Berkshire, Duroc,
Jersey, Poland China and Hampshire
swine; Shorthorn, Angus, Jersey,
Guernsey, Brown Swiss cattle and
Shropshire sheep. The Shenandoah
valley is also one of America’s finest
farming sections and those on the
trip will have an opportunity to see
farming conditions in this garden
spot.
The breeders from western Pennsyl-
vania will visit the Ohio experiment
station at Wooster, Ohio, August 12
and 13. There is an indication that
both of these tours will be made by a
large number of the breeders and
farmers from various parts of the
State and those who can possibly ar-
range to make either trip should get
in touch with the county agent at
once and indicate their intention. It
is desirable to know as accurately as
possible the number of people who
plan to go on these trips so that ade-
quate accommodations can be secured
for them.
The farmers and breeders making
the trip to the Shenandoah valley will
gather at Chambersburg at 10 a. m.
on July 80th. Arrangements will be
made to have members of the State
College agricultural extension accom-
pany those who make the trip and no
doubt a representative of the State
Highway Department will pilot the
cars on a motorcycle to keep the
crowd together and keep the road
open. A log showing all of the stops
will be given to each person making
the trip and can be had from the local
county agent.

HOUSER. — Dr.
Luther Murray
Houser, for many years one of the
leading practitioners in the western
end of the county, died at six o’clock
on Sunday evening at his home at Bai-
leyville. He had not been in good
health for a year or more but was able
to be up and around until two weeks
prior to his death when he suffered a
stroke of paralysis while out walking
on his lawn. From that day he grad-
ually grew weaker until the end.
He was a son of Jacob and Eliza-
beth Murray Houser and was born at
Houserville on April 15th, 1857, hence
had reached the age of 68 years, 3
months and 4 days. His boyhood days
were spent in attending school and
working behind the counter in his
father’s store, but the latter calling
not being to his liking he decided to
study medicine. In 1882 he entered
the University of Pennsylvania where
he was graduated in 1885. The
same year he located at Baileyville,
taking over the practice of the late
Thomas C. Van Tries, who retired and
moved to Bellefonte. Later he pur-
chased the Van Tries residence at Bai-
leyville and that had been his home
ever since.
He was twice married and is sur-
vived by his second wife, who before
her marriage was Miss Anna Musser,
and six children, namely: Mrs. Kline,
of Chautauqua, Pa., and Mrs. James
Peters, of Rock Springs, children of
his first wife; and Dr. Harold Houser,
of the University of Pennsylvania;
Albert, of Allentown; Mrs. Thompson,
of Williamsport, and Mrs. Metzger, of
State College, children to his second
wife. He also leaves one sister, Mrs.
Ailman, at the old home at Houser-
ville.
He was a member of the Graysville
Presbyterian church for many years
and was highly esteemed for his
thoughtfulness for others and his
many acts of kindness. Funeral serv-
ices were held at his late home at two
o’clock on Wednesday afternoon by
his pastor, Rev. Harry D. Fleming,
after which burial was made in the
Pine Hall cemetery.

STINE.—Mrs. Dora A. Stine, wife
of Allison W. Stine, died at the Cen-
tre County hospital at 10:15 o’ciock on
Saturday morning as the result of
complications following a prolonged
illness with Bright’s disease.
She was a daughter of John W. and
Alice Hummer and was born at Dan-
ville on July 29th, 1875, hence had
reached the age of 49 years, 11 months
and 18 days. She had been a resident
of Bellefonte a good part of her mar-
ried life and was a member of the
United Brethren church, the P. O. of
A. and Queen Templar. She is sur-
vived by her husband and four chil-
dren, namely: Charies T., Dora I,
Clarence A. and Pauline, all at home.
She also leaves two brothers and two
sisters, Teary and Morris Hummer, of
Danville; Mrs. Abbie Shultz, of Mar-
cus Hook, and Mrs. Tom. Packer, of
Fogserviller ~~ — =
Funeral services were held at the
United Brethren church at 2:30 o’clock
on Tuesday afternoon by Rev. J. A.
Mills, assisted by Rev. C. C. Shuey,
after which burial was made in the
Union cemetery.

BRONOEL.—Frank Bronoel died on
Wednesday of last week at the home
of his sisters, at State College, follow-
ing two weeks’ illness as the result of
a stroke of paralysis.
He was a son of John and Mary A.
Bronoel and was born at Frenchville
on January 21st, 1846, hence was 79
years, 5 months and 24 days old. He
is survived by one son and two daugh-
ters, Andrew Bronoel, Mrs. Willian
Wheeler and Mrs. Charles Orth, all of
Lewistown. He also leaves the fol-
lowing sisters: Mrs. Adam Redding,
of Gettysburg; Mrs. Pat Hayes, of
Spangler; Mrs. James Bayard, of Wil-
liamsport; Mrs. Emil Lioret, of De-
troit, Mich.; Mrs. Odille Mott, of
Bellefonte, and the Misses Sidonie and
Pauline Bronoel, of State College.
Funeral services were held in St.
John’s Catholic church, Bellefonte, at
ten o’clock Saturday morning, by Rev.
Father Downes, burial being made in
the Catholic cemetery.
Members of the family extend
thanks to all who so kindly assisted
them during their bereavement.

HOUSER. — Maryland Leon, the
eighteen months old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Houser, died at the pa-
rental home on north Allegheny street
at midnight, Tuesday. She had not
been well for along time and her

cline.
She is survived by her parents and
a little sister. Interment will be made
this morning at 10 o’clock.
Henry Noll, Aviator, Doing a Flying
Business.
Since he invested in a flying ma-
chine Henry Noll, the garage man at
Pleasant Gap, finds patching up old
Fords and other automobiles rather
tame business and when he wants a
change he goes to his airdrome, gets
out one of his machines and takes a
flight through space. Mr. Noll now
has three machines in his hangar, a
Standard and two Curtiss planes. Ac-
cording to reports there are four pi-
lots at the Gap and two more in the
making. But the ships are not kept
for pleasure or the fun of owning
them. The proprietor makes a busi-
ness of taking people up for a ride
through the etherial blue and when
you see him sailing around through
the air you can count as a fact that he
is sailing at so much per. Last Sun-
day he had one of his machines up at
State College and forty or more peo-
ple took a ride in it.
Bellefonte Kiwanis Club Meets with
Farmers.
The regular weekly meeting of the
Bellefonte Kiwanis club was held at
Hecla park, on Tuesday evening, with
about seventy-five prominent farmers
from the agricultural districts adja-
cent to Bellefonte as their guests.
Dinner was served at 6:30 by the re-
freshment committee of the club, who
have established quite a reputation
for themselves as caterers.
Preceding the serving of the dinner,
an address of welcome to the farmers
was delivered by president Sloop, of
the Kiwanis club, which was very ably
followed by expressions from the
farmers emphasizing the fact that
they were glad to be present. Kiwan-
ian R. C. Blaney, who is well and fa-
vorably known among the farmers of
the county, because of his unceasing
efforts in the capacity of county farm
agent, delivered a short address, stat-
ing that the purpose of the get-to-
gether was to enable the farmer and
business man, as well as professional
man, to better understand each other,
which in turn can only result in com-
munity betterment and eliminate so-
called class prejudice.
After dinner was served Mr. E. S.
Hibschman, assistant to the presi-
dent of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, gave a very interesting and in-
structive talk on the history of agri-
culture in Pennsylvania, dating from
1618 to the present time, all of which
was greatly appreciated by all fortu-
nate enough to be present. The last
speaker on the program was farmer
Ross, formerly superintendent of
farms at the new western penitentia-
ry, who offered some very good sugf
gestions pertaining to team work on
the part of the farmer and business
man.
Judge Arthur C. Dale was admitted
as a member to the Kiwanis club at
this meeting. After the usual closing
songs and salute to the flag, each Ki-
wanian bade the farmer guests good
night.
New York Fresh Air Children Arrive
in Bellefonte.
In the neighborhood of two hundred
and thirty children from the tenement
districts of New York, ranging in age
from six to sixteen years, though
there were very few of the latter, ar-
rived in Bellefonte last Friday morn-
ing. They came in three special cars
attached to the regular morning train
west from Lock Haven to Tyrone, and
a young lady chaperone looked after
the kiddies in each car.
This is the first time that any great
number of children have come to Cen-
tre county and their arrival caused as
much commotion at the Pennsylvania
railroad station as a circus. Fully five
hundred people, most of them chil-
dren, were at the depot to see the New
Yorkers arrive. As soon as they were
unloaded from the train the children
were formed in line and marché to
the Scenic theatre where they were
distributed among their hosts and
hostesses.
Each child was tagged with its
name, age and name of the person
whose guest it was to be, so that it
was an easy matter to distribute them.
Those taken by residents of Bellefonte
and nearby vicinity were hustled to
their place of entertainment as quick-
ly as possible, as they were all quite
hungry, while those taken by people
living some distance away were given
a lunch at the Scenic before being tak-
en home. The whole crowd was quickly
assimilated and aside from the homes
in which they are being entertained
nobody notices the influx.
The children are proteges of the
New York Tribune fresh air fund and
are of various nationalities, but they
were a good looking, healthy bunch of
kiddies.
Auto Tourist Scents Robbers = and
Speeds to Safety.
Driving by automobile from Mid-
dlebury, Vt., to State College, the lat-
ter part of the week, J. W. Rushly,
who was on his way to pay a visit {o
Dr. Thomas and family before they
leave the College, had what he be-
lieves a narrow escape from highway-
men down in Lycoming county.
He was driving along in the moun-
tains between Ralston and Trout Run,
about twenty miles from Williams-
port, when he saw an automobile tire
lying in the road ahead of him. He
was about to stop his car when he
heard men talking in the underbrush
a short distance ahead. There was a
little curve in the road and the head-
lights of his car showed two men, cne
with a pistol in his hand and the other
with a club.
Needless to say Mr. Rushly did not
stop, but stepping on the gas made
haste to get out of that vicinity as
quicklgFas possible. A little farther
along the road he saw an automobile
parked among the bushes and he feels
certain it was the car of the highway-
men. Mr. Rushly made good time on
that road and finally reached State
College in safety.

Infants usually learn to creep
before they attempt to walk, but Vol.
1, No. 1, of the McKeesport Journal,
which has just reached our desk, in-
dicates that there are exceptions to
the rule. With a special edition of
eighty-four pages it has walked right
into the field of journalism with a
stride that is amazing. If the inau-
gural number of the Journal is the
standard its makers mean to maintain
McKeesport may well be proud of its
new newspaper enterprise and support
it to the limit, for it will prove a very
valuable asset to the thriving city on
the Yough and Monon,
Bellefonte Presbyterians Pledge $4,432
for Old Folks Home.
Following the regular services in
the Presbyterian church of Bellefonte,
on Sunday morning, the question of
raising the congregation’s apportio
ment of $5,000 for the old folks hom
near Hollidaysburg was taken up.
Mr. Robert Sommerville, chairman of
the committee in charge, was present
and presented the question from a
business standpoint. He stated that
in order to start the home properly it
was necessary to raise a fund of $150,-
000 within the bounds of the Hunt-
ingdon Presbytery. Fifty thousand
dollars of the above amount will be
needed to make necessary changes in
the property which was donated for
the home and to properly equip it for
the purpose for which it is intended.
One hundred thousand dollars is de-
sired as an endowment fund to furnish
the home with a definite means of par-
tial support.
Rev. Thompson stated that this is
an age of old peoples’ homes.
Masons, the Odd Fellows, the Elks,
the Moose apd other organizations
have them, and it is time the church
is looking after the interest of its
aged and infirm. He explained that
the apportionment of $5,000 to the
Bellefonte congregation was made
after a very careful survey and con-
sideration’ ‘of © financial conditions.
Centributions and pledges were then
taken and a final count showed $4,432.
Miss Blanche Underwood was elected
treasurer of the Bellefonte church
fund and on Monday she received sev-
eral contributions not counted on Sun-
day, so feels confident that the full
apportionment of five thousand dol-
lars will eventually be raised.
It is expected to have the home in
shape to open this fall and already
there are three applications for ad-
mission from the Bellefonte church
membership.
“Back to Bradford.”
Bradford will celebrate her centen-
nial anniversary August 9th to 15th,
with an old home week. . Preparations
are being made for a wonderful time
up in McKean county and it is not
without interest to sections of Centre,
for hasn’t she contributed, both of her
sons and daughters, to melt in wit
the sturdy types that pioneered that
vast lumber and oil region.
The McCaffertys, the Glenns, the
Bradleys were all transplanted from
Centre to contribute to the fine citi-
zenry of McKean. The song that the
Old Home week committee. has had
published in commemoration of the
centennial is an echo of the musical
culture of Bellefonte. While its lyr-
ics were written by Joseph A Riley
the :-usic is the.composition of Miss
Mary Bradley, which means, of
course, that “Back to Bradford’ will
be something more lasting than a
mere seasonal song. It is written in
‘waltz time and.is a sweet, lilting mel-
ody for words that express something.

Philipsburg Boy Dies at Camp Meade,
Maryland.
William Grebe, seventeen year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Grebe, of
Philipsburg, died on Wednesday night
of last week at the soldiers’ training
camp, at Camp Meade, Md., following
an operation for strangulation of the
bowels. With a number of other
young men of that place he went to
the training camp on June 29th to
spend the month of July and had been
getting along splendidly until Tues-
day of last week when he was sudden-
ly taken ill. His condition becoming
rapidly worse his parents were noti-
fied on Wednesday morning and left
immediately for the camp.
An operation was performed Wed-
nesday afternoon but gangrene had
already set in and his death followed
within 2 few hours. The young man
was a junior in the Philipsburg High
school, a member of the Presbytreian
church and the Boy Scouts. In addi-
tion to his parents he is survived by
six brothers and sisters. A military
escort accompanied the remains to
Philipsburg where funeral services
were held at 2:30 o’clock on Sunday
afternocn, burial being made in the
Philipsburg cemetery.

Among Those Entertaining.
The luncheon given by Miss Mary
H. Linn, yesterday, at her home on
Allegheny street, was in compliment
to the Hon. Martha G. Thomas and
Mrs. Herman L. Schwartz, of the
State organization of the League of
Women Voters.
Mrs. John F. Smith was hostess at
a bridge party, Friday night, given in
honor of Mrs. Russell T. George, wife
of Captain George, military instructor
of this district, who has been trans-
ferred and will leave shortly for Kan-
sas.
Miss Irene Gross entertained with
bridge, for Mrs. George, Tuesday
evening, and again at Mrs. Gideon
Payne’s bridge party, last night, Mrs.
George was the guest of honor.
They farm stock used to
Farming on a Big Scale at Rockview
Penitentiary.
Rockview penitentiary is located
less than five miles from Bellefonte
and yet very few people here, or in
any part of Centre county for that
atter, realize the magnitude of the
rk being done there. If one or
more prisoners escape the fact is her-
alded far and wide, as it should be, as
the men serving time there are on
i honor to regard prison regulations
| and should make no attempt to evade
serving the sentence meted out to
them by the courts of the various
counties in the western part of the
State.
But that is not what we started out
to tell, but rather about the crops that
are being raised on the prison farms
this year. There were 398 acres of
wheat, and 398 acres of hay. The
oats crop covers 370 acres and the
corn 375. Potatoes are being grown
jon 120 acres and there are 50 acres
i of alfalfa. The pasture land for the
cultivate the
i farms totals 468 acres. There is a
truck garden of 85 acres, which is as
much as many farms in Centre coun-
ty have under cultivation. The for-
estry beds used to cultivate seedlings
for forestry purposes cover 9 acres,
and the number of seedlings on this
tract at the present time is estimated
"at 3,500,000.
{ . At. present there are 744 prisoners
| at the penitentiary and ‘all able bodied .
! men work on the farms, on the big
cell block or at one of many other oc-
cupations necessary to keep a big in-
| stitution like the penitentiary on the
move.
le for Stealing a
| Machine.
On Tuesday afternoon chief of po-
i lice Harry Dukeman received a tele-
gram from the chief" of police in
Meadville requesting him to appre-
hend “Red” Bartow and Parker Cra-
mier, who are wanted in that city on
the charge of stealing a flying ma-
chine. >
Now it just happened that Mr. Bar-
tow had been out at Pleasant Gap the
past ten days or two weeks, and offi-
cer Daniels, of the State police force,
went out to look for him, but he had
gone to Clarion by automobile. He
returned to the Gap, however, on Wed-
nesday, and was then placed under ar-
rest.
While all the details of the trans-
action leading up to the charge of
stealing the machine, lodged against
the young men, have not been obtain-
able, enough has been learned to jus-
tify the assertion that the men did
not deliberately steal and convert un-
to their own use the machine in dis-
pute. It appears that the machine is
‘owned by a Greek resident of Mead-
ville but just how it passed into the
Flying
pairs on the machine ‘and have other
costs against the owner which he has
not paid and the men are simply hold-
ing the machine for payment. And
because of this fact, it is alleged, the
Greek owner has had a warrant issued
charging them with the theft of the
machine.
The fact that neither of the men
1 have been in hiding or tried to evade
arrest gives color to their side of the
story. ;

The Stoner Sisters Attacked Near
Tusseyville.
About eleven o’clock last Monday
night the two daughters of Mr. Ston-
er, a well known farmer near Tus-
seyville, were returning from a party
they had attended. When on a seclud-
ed part of the road an unknown per-
son stepped from the brush and grab-
bed their horse by the bridle. The
animal became frightened and tried to
break away. Then the miscreant
struck it with a club and it did run
away, with the result that the buggy
was. overturned and completely de-
molished.
The screams of the older girl were
heard by a farmer who went to the
rescue, finding that she was not ser-
iously hurt, but her younger sister
was unconscious under the wreckage
of the buggy.
She was carried home and a physi-
cian summoned. Her, injuries, while
painful were not serious, though she
suffered greatly from shock.
Grange Encampment to Open on

piano expert, will spend one or two
weeks in Bellefonte doing special work

nized.

way and Sons and six with Mason and
Hamlin as concert tuner to eminent
artists.
