Centre County Junior Farmers’ As-
sociation Tour.
All members of the Junior Farmers’
association of Centre county, as well
as members of the various potato
clubs, will be taken on their annual
farm and general inspection tour to-
day (Friday.) They will meet in
front of the First National bank, at
State College, at 8 o’clock a. m., sharp,
proceeding from there to the potato
and hog farm of A. C. Kepler, in the
Glades, where the first stop will be
made. Mr. Kepler will be on hand to
tell the juniors why he has been the
champion potato grower in Centre
county the past three years, and also
show them his prize porkers.
From the Kepler farm the tour will
continue to Watts’ vegetable farm and
roadside market about three miles be-
yond Tyrone, on the road to Altoona.
After an inspection there the motor-
ists will return a mile and a half to a
special picnic grounds where they will
have a basket lunch. After filling up
they will go to Huntingdon and in-
spect the large fruit orchards of J. L.
Runk, then return to Water Street for
an inspection of the poultry farms of
C. D. Harnish. The tourists will re-
turn to the College from Water Street.
The entire trip will cover about 94
miles.
County farm agent Ralph C. Blaney
and vocational director John B. Payne
will be in charge of the tour and they
are anxious to have every junior
farmer and his dad go along. It is
the first tour of any consequence, and
will cover four important phases of
farm life. Specialists from State Col-
lege will accompany the tour.
Every young farmer should carry a
well packed lunch kit, as it is sure to
be a strenuous day, and traveling on
an empty stomach is not a pleasant
business.
James Caldwell Buys the W. S. Katz
Property.
A deal was closed on Monday
whereby James Caldwell, proprietor
of the Bon Mot, in the McClain block,
became the purchaser of the William
S. Katz property, on High street, be-
tween the Scenic and the new Riche-
lieu theatre, now in the course of con-
struction.
It is Mr. Caldwell’s intention to re-
model the building by lowering the
first floor even with the pavement and
converting it into a spacious room for
his ice cream and confectionery trade,
with a small dance hall in the rear.
The second and third floors will be
utilized as an apartment for himself
and family. A building will be erect-
ed on the rear of the lot to house the
plumbing establishment of Caldwell
& Son.
Mr. Caldwell is to have possession
just as soon as Mr. Katz can get out,
FOREMAN.—James Foreman, one
of the best known and highly respect-
ed colored residents of Bellefonte,
passed away very unexpectedly at his
home on St. Paul street, at 4:30
o'clock on Monday afternoon. For
some time past he had been troubled
with heart attacks but on Monday
morning was around as usual. In the
afternoon he suffered an attack and
members of the family took him to his
room and put him to bed. He appar-
ently fell asleep and was resting easi-
ly until 4:30 o'clock when he gasped
several times and becoming alarmed
his daughter summoned a physician
but when he reached the house he was
beyond all help.
Mr. Foreman was born in Virginia
and had he lived until the 8th of next
October would have been sixty-four
years old. The greater part of his
boyhood life, however, was spent in
Chambersburg. Forty-three years
ago he came to Bellefonte and this had
been his home ever since. He was a
member of St. Paul’s A. M. E. church
and always a regular attendant.
He was twice married, his first wife
having been Miss Wilhelmina Gaines,
of Albemarle county, Va. She passed
away thirty years ago and later he
married Miss Ellen Jordan, who died
five years ago. Surviving him, how-
ever, are four children, namely: Mrs.
Georgianna Perry, of Washington, D.
C.; Arthur R., at home; Mrs. Bertha
Stewart, of Bellefonte, and Mrs. Julia
Randolph, of New York city.
Brief funeral services were held
at his late home at two o’clock yes-
terday afternoon, after which the re-
mains were taken to the church where
a"more extended service was held.
Burial was made in the Union ceme-
tery.

PARKER.—Miss Anna L. Parker
passed away at her home on the cor-
ner of Howard and Spring streets,
Bellefonte, last Thursday evening, fol-
lowing almost a year's illness with
pernicious anemia.
She was a daughter of John W. and
Eleanor Neff Parker and was born in
Somerset county on November 25th,
1848, making her age 76 years, 8
months and 5 days. Her entire life
was spent in the county of her birth
until coming to Bellefonte with her
two sisters in the fall of 1921. She
was a life-long member of the Pres-
byterian church and a woman possess-
ed of all the finer attributes of chris-
tian womanhood. Her survivors in-
clude one brother and two sisters,
Neff Parker, of DesMoines, Iowa;
Misses Emily and Elizabeth, of Belle-
fonte.
Funeral services were held at her
late home at six o’clock on Sunday
evening by her pastor, Rev. William
C. Thompson, of the Presbyterian
church. On Monday the remains were
taken to Somerset, accompanied by
the surviving sisters, Mrs. G. Ross
Parker, her daughter, Mrs. Henry
Keller, of New Brunswick, N. J., and
her son, Ferguson Parker, of Harris-
burg. Services were held in the Pres-
byterian church at that place at four
o'clock on Monday afternoon, burial
being made in the Somerset cemetery.

WATSON.—Pittsburgh papers, on
Tuesday, contained a notice of the
death in that city, on Monday, of
Sarah McClintic Watson, wife of
Thomas Watson, in her seventy-fourth
year. Funeral services were held on
Wednesday evening and private
burial made yesterday morning. The
Watsons have relatives in Centre,
Clinton and Mifflin counties.

HOCKENBERRY. — Edgar Harry
Hockenberry, infant son of Albert and
Goldie Emel Hockenberry, died last
Friday at the family residence in the
brick row as the result of convulsions.
He was born on November 6th, 1924,
hence was aged 8 months and 25 days.
Burial was made in the Union ceme-
tery on Sunday.
Dr. Thomas Awarded Last Diplomas
at State.
The final official occasion for the ap-
pearance of Dr. John M. Thomas as
president of The Pennsylvania State
College took place yesterday at the
annual mid-summer commencement
exercises when he awarded degrees to
over fifty students. He will leave
Penn State about September 1 to be-
come president of Rutgers University,
in New Jersey. During the remainder
of August he will prepare his annual
report to the Legislature and State
officials and complete other duties in-
cident to his departure.
Dr. James N. Rule, deputy Super-
intendent of Public Instruction for
Pennsylvania, delivered the commence-
ment address. The Penn State sum-
mer session has co-operated closely
with the State department in the
studies it has offered in the past, and
it was most appropriate that Dr. Rule,
| who has charge of all secondary edu-
cation in the State, was speaker at
the second annual mid-summer gradu-
ation exercises. M. Emile Daeschner,
the French Ambassador, who was ex-
pected to give an address at the com-
mencement, was forced to cancel his
engagement due to pressing official
duties at Washington.
——The Hazel-Schaeffer reunion
will be held this year on Thursday,
August 20th, at Grange park, Centre
Hall. It will be a basket picnic and
members of the families are urged to
go and take their friends. A good
time is assured everybody.

Camp Kenesatalke,
Progress of Road Building in Centre.
County.
Everybody is naturally interested in
the extensive road building program
in Centre county. The public, gener-
ally, looks on it as something leading
to a linking up of all the more import-
ant highways of the county. Those
who live along the roads under con-
struction have another view of it, as
well as that of those not so directly
affected. They are wondering when
the work will be completed and their
natural outlets once more opened for
use.
Of the three major operations that
of the Miller Construction Co., the
part of the Bald Eagle route extend-
ing from Snow Shoe Intersection to
Port Matilda, at present shows the
greatest promise of being completed
this fall. Of the sixteen miles in that
contract nine and one-half have al-
ready been poured. From the vicinity
of Plum Grove school house to Union-
ville the road is open for traffic and
between Unionville and Port about
seven miles have been poured.
We understand that the upper end,
from Port to the Triangle has not pre-
gressed so rapidly, but it is far
enough under way to give assurance
that the entire road will be open ear-
ly in October.
The road from Gum Stump to Snow.
Shoe is proving muck heavier con--
struction. All of the way is over the
mountains and as the route has been
changed so as to take out three dan-
gerous curves and shorten the dis-
tance a mile it involves much more
difficult work.
The horseshoe curve just above the
“Dim Lantern” tea room has been en-
{irely eliminated. The road is now
graded on a heavy fill straight across
the ravine that it formerly circled at
the end of the first ridge. And out at
the Beech Creek trestle the sharp
curve is eliminated by a change of
route that continues at an even grade
clear to the Reese place on top of the
mountain. The concrete is all poured
from Snow Shoe to the Beech Creek
trestle, but it doesn’t seem possible
that the road will be completed this
fall. In fact it would be better were
it not, for there is so much new con-
struction that it would be better if it
were allowed to settle over the win-
ter before concrete is laid on it.
Over the mountain, from the water-
ing trough above Pleasant Gap to
Centre Hall, the contract of Joseph P.
Reitz, of Sunbury, the work has not
been progressing in such a way as to
give promise of its completion before
winter. It is graded from Centre Hall
to the top of the mountain and con-
crete pouring is about to start, but
from the top to the watering trough
little more has been done than put-
ting in the drains.
Cleveland Cat Stole Ride on Mailplane
Some ten days or two weeks ago a
strange cat made its appearance at
the new aviation field and proceeded
to make itself at home among the
mailplanes and the force of em-
ployees. As it did not seem disposed
to leave the men saw that it was fed
regularly and allowed it to stay. A
few days ago when pilot Collins reach-
ed the Bellefonte field from Cleveland
he espied the cat and at once recog-
nized it as “lke,” the mascot cat at
the Cleveland field.
He stated that the cat had suddenly
disappeared from there and every-
body was wondering what had become
of it. As none of the pilots have any
knowledge of how the cat got from
one field to the other, and are certain
that it was not a passenger in the mail
compartment of the plane, the only
conclusion is that it climbed onto the
fuselage and clung there during the
two hundred and fifty mile flight to
Bellefonte. The cat was taken back
to Cleveland as a free passenger.
Burgess Todd, of Philipsburg, Under
Bail for Court Trial.
Burgess Harry W. Todd, of Philips-
burg, is under five hundred dollars
bail for his appearance at the Sep-
tember term of court in Bellefonte to
determine his authority and right to
remove private parking signs.
It appears that Joseph Cunkle, pro-
prietor of the Cunkle hotel, secured a
“no-parking” sign which he put out in
front of his hotel every morning to
keep traffic away and took it in in the
evening. One night it was forgotten
and the next morning it was gone.
Mr. Cunkle made inquiry and finally
learned that the sign had been taken
away by the police on order of bur-
gess Todd.
Action was brought against that of-
ficial charging him with being respon-
sible for the removal and confiscation
of the sign, and Squire Edward Han-
cock held him in $500 bail for trial at
court.
Bellefonte Wins Another and Length-
ens Her Lead.
Bellefonte copped another game the
past week and lengthened her lead in
the race for the pennant in the Centre
county baseball league. On Thursday
the local team defeated Millheim by
the score of 9 to 5, while State downed
Hecla 6 to 2. On Saturday State de-
feated Millheim 5 to 4 and the Hecla-
Bellefonte game was postponed on ac-
count of wet grounds.
Tomorrow Bellefonte and Hecla will
play at Howard and State College at
Millheim. The standing of the clubs
to date is as follows:

Bellefonte - - 13 1 .650
Hecla Park - - 1 9 .0h0

Two Escaped- Prisoners ‘Had - Short
Shift of Liberty.
Francis Short and James Doersch,
the two Philadelphia prisoners who
escaped from Rockview penitentiary
on Wednesday of last week by cutting
their way through the barbed wire
stockade, were not out long enough to
enjoy their liberty. They were re-
captured about noontime on Friday
down below Milesburg, sentenced by
Judge Dale an hour later and the
same - afternoon taken out to Pitts-
burgh where they will have ample
time to ponder over whether it is
worthwhile trying to evade the law’s
demands. fe
Being unacquainted with the coun-
try hereabouts the men failed to make
much headway... Where they spent
their first night was not learned but
they evidently kept under cover on
Thursday, and Thursday night they
spent on the mountain above McCoy’s
works. They had had nothing to eat
from the time of their escape except
a few wild berries and on Friday
morning they came down off the
mountain at McCoy’s works for the
purpose of begging something, but
seeing a number of men around hiked
back to the woods. They left the
mountain, circled Milesburg to the
| brick works and started down Bald
Eagle valley. Railroad trackmen saw
them and notified penitentiary author-
ities. Deputy warden W. J. McFar-
land, his assistant, Clarence C.
Rhoads, sheriff E. R. Taylor and state
policeman Daniels went down and
rounded the men up. They offered no
resistance and were soon landed in the
Centre county jail. Each man was
given a duplicate of his old sentence,
five to ten years, and they were taken
to Pittsburgh by sheriff Taylor, his son
Richard and policeman Daniels, in the
latter’s automobile.
Another Baby Clinic in Milesburg.
The second well-baby clinic in
Milesburg will be held next Monday
afternoon, August 10, from 2 to 4
o'clock, in the Baptist Sunday school
room with Miss Ethel Campbell, State
Health Department nurse, in charge.
Dr. J. L. Seibert, county medical di-
rector, will be there to lock over the
babies and answer any questions the
mothers may care to ask.
It is an opportunity offered to moth-
ers, free, to learn whether the baby
and pre-school age child is physically
fit or has defects that should be cor-
rected. Just now when the opening of
school is approaching every child
should have a complete physical ex-
amination and existing defects cor-
rected so as not to be physically
handicapped in school.
The State Health Department is
furnishing toxin antitoxin free for all
children up to and including six years
of age.

have him immunize your children now
or take them to the clinic soon to be

Combustion Caused
Barn Fire.
Spontanecus
Alfalfa hay, not thoroughly cured,
is blamed for a fire which early yes-
terday morning partially destroyed
the old barn on the Armor property,
on east Lamb street, used by William
J. Musser as a hay barn, and also ru-
ined a considerable quantity of hay.
Mr. Musser had in the neighborhood
of twenty or twenty-five tons of al-
falfa hay stored in the barn. He put
it in a little green, but salted it pretty
thoroughly, and believed it perfectly
safe. Shortly after three o’clock yes-
terday morning the old barn was dis-
covered to be on fire, and from the na-
ture of it, it seems reasonable to con-
clude it was a case of spontaneous
combustion. All the board sheeting
was burned away but the firemen suc-
ceeded in extinguishing the flames be-
fore the heavier frame work was de-
stroyed.
The pile of alfalfa continued to
smoulder and yesterday forenoon the
Logans went out and thoroughly sat-
urated the pile, and it is just possible
that conside: able of the hay may yet
be saved.
Fresh Air Kiddies Given Big Send-off
Friday Evening.
Notwithstanding the rainy weather
from a thousand to fifteen hundred
people gathered at the Pennsylvania
railroad depot, on Friday evening, to
see the two hundred and more fresh
air children depart for their homes in
New York city after a sojourn of two
weeks in Centre county. The children
were first taken to the Y. M. C. A. by
their various hosts and hostesses
where the tags they wore on coming
to Bellefonte were replaced. They
then marched in squads to the depot
and were put aboard the three wait-
ing cars. They all went away happy
and cheerful, many of them with much
larger bundles of clothing than when
they came to Bellefonte.
Quite a number of the children were
reluctant to leave, as they wceuld have
liked to spend more time in Centre
county, but this was impossible. Mzs.
W. Harrison Walker, Mrs. Milton R.
Johnson, Miss Daise Keichline and
Miss Mary McGarvey accompanied the
children to New York, and saw that
they were all landed there in good
shape.

“Centre Countians Going “After Big
~ Game in British Columbia.
Having won their laurels as cham-
pion hunters in this neck o’ the woods
Newton E. Hess, of State College, and
his brother, John W. Hess, of Altoona,
have joined a party of Williamsport,
Boston and St. Louis huntsmen for
an extended trip through the North-
west, into British Cclumbia and on
into Alaska.
The party left Williamsport on
Wednesday, nine of them in all, and
will go by train directly to Cody, Wy-
oming. There they enter the Yellow-
stone National Park for a sight-see-
ing trip and to size up the semi-do-
mesticated game that has a refuge in
the Park. Thence they will continue
to Gardner, Montana, and on to
Vancouver, B. C. At the latter point
they will take a steamer for Wrangel,
Alaska, and then 175 miles by motor
boat up the Stikine river to Telegraph
Creek.
After being outfitted at Telegraph
Creek, the hunters will separate into
parties of two men each, with two
guides, a cook, a horse wrangler, and
sixteen or seventeen horses for each
party. Of the horses, six will be sad-
dle horses and the rest pack horses.
Then the real hunting will begin, as
the parties ride about 150 miles into
i the heart of the big-game country.
! Here they will spend forty or fifty
: days hunting moose, caribou, sheep,’
! goats and black, brown and grizzly
. bear.
| In 1923 when several of the mem-
i bers of the group returned from a
i similar hunt they brought back the
world record caribou head, the beam
| of which was sixty-five and a half
inches, and the spread fifty-five and a
half inches, in addition to many other
; species of big game. This record car-
|ibou head was the trophy of D. W.
| Bell, of Williamsport.
{ The Hess men will be having their
| first experience as big game hunters,
| but they know the woods and are dead
shots, so that the Centre county con-
tingent in the party can be counted
on to bring down its full share of the
| trophies of the hunt. And think of
the thrilling stories Newton will have
to tell around the Fleetwood camp
| fires next December, while John will
| be sitting in front of the blazing logs
in the Modoc camp recounting them
to his Centre county hunting compan-
i ions.

A Plea for the Y. M. C. A.
i The boy problem of every town is
. becoming a matter of more serious
| consideration from day to day and is
| continually interesting the best minds
{of the country to try to solve it.
{ What is best for their physical devel-
| opment, intellectual training and
building of the spiritual foundation
for future manhood is a problem.
| The schools of our town will soon
| open, bringing in the boys and girls
[for the Trecessary sehool work, and the...
| churches and Sunday schools will soon
i be beginning their autumn program,
| but is the Y. M. C. A., which will com-
bine these two with physical develop-
i ment, to turn out a cne hundred per
i cent. boy or girl.
If Bellefonte is to maintain her
| place among towns of the same size
lit is necessary to begin with the ris-
{ing generation of boys and girls and
| give them a complete, all around de-
| velopment. You men who are the
| guardians of the little men and wom-
en should rise to the occasion and
maintain a down town home where
they may go and feel at home.
The Bellefonte Y. M. C. A., under
the direction of the general secretary,
is at present working on a program
for the coming season to give to men
and boys what they want and what
they need to fill the entire season,
week after week, with worthwhile
things.
Ch Boy! Oh Joy!
Bellefonters are to have an oppor-
tunity to see the inimitable Wesley
Spangler in action. Before starting
his usual summer tour he has decided
to accede to the demand that people of
this vicinity be given the chance to see
this master prestidigitator and manip-
ulator of the silver screen.
Accordingly Wesley will have his
big tent set up on the fair grounds
and on Tuesday, August 11th, at 8
o’clock he will open the show in per-
son, giving his full repertoire of leg-
erdemain, songs, dances and all the
other specialties that have won for
him the reputation of being one of the
most unique tent shows touring “the
sticks.”
While many parties are already be-
ing made up to give the local show-
man a rousing send-off Mr. Spangler
assures us that his seating capacity
is large enough to insure accommoda-
tions for all, but should it be taxed he
will perform all night rather than
have any of his friends go away dis-
appointed at not having been able to
get in.

Barrels of Fish, but Not a Sucker for
Any Man.
For some time past John McCoy
has had a gang of men at work re-
placing the old log breast of the dam,
at his plant near Milesburg, with a
concrete structure and last week they
reached the point where it became
necessary to drain the dam in order to
complete the work. The draining of
a dam on a stream populated with fish
can be done only in the presence of an
officer of the law, and consequently on
Friday morning chief of police Harry
Dukeman, of Bellefonte, went down
to add dignity to the proceeding.
During the rush of high water
through the tail race it was impossi-
ble to tell how many trout went down
stream but when the water got down
pretty low there was a perfect ava-
lanche of suckers. In fact it is esti-
mated that several barrels of the lat-
ter species were drained from the
dam down through the tail race and
on into the waters of Bald Eagle
creek. There were suckers of all
sizes, from six to eighteen inches, and
while most of the men present cast
envious eyes on the big school of fish
not a man was allowed to take a suck-
er.

censes were in evidence on Alleghen
