fonte.
Bellefonte Bakery Putting in New
Oven.
Since Tom Hosterman took charge
of the Bellefonte bakery, in the Bush
Arcade, the demand for the products
of his oven have been steadily increas-
ing until it reached. that point where
his oven capacity is not sufficient to
keep up with his increasing trade. His
present oven is what is known as one
of a thousand loaf capacity, and yes-
terday he received by motor truck
from Stroudsburg an oven of three
thousand loaf capacity.
His old oven and bake shop is lo-
cated in the basement of the room he
occupies, but the new and much larger
oven will be erected in the rear of the
room on the first floor, practically
right above the old oven in the base-
ment. Workmen are now preparing
the foundation for the new oven and
Mr. Hosterman hopes to have it ready
for use within a fortnight.
Army Fliers Wrecked Plane in
Landing.
Two army fliers, Lieut. C. C. Nutt
and Lieut. T. B. Harris, of Fairfield,
Ohio, wrecked their plane when mak-
ing a landing on the old aviation field,
Bellefonte, about 4:30 o’clock on Mon-
day afternoon. They were flying west
and their gas supply running low they
decided to come down and have the
tank refilled. They failed to observe
that the old field was deserted and
probably overlooked tha location of
the new field, and in making a land-
ing their plane turned up on its nose
rendering it unfit for further flying
purposes at present.
The wrecked plane was hauled to
the railroad by airmail employees
and shipped to Middletown, on Wed-
nesday, and the same afternoon anoth-
er plane was sent here for the army
fliers.
The Bellefonte school board is

State Penn Inmate Takes Examina-
tion at Penn State.
James Horvath, a Westmoreland
county man serving a sentence for
second degree murder at the Rockview
penitentiary, is the first and only in-
mate ever permitted to leave the pris-
on unattended to take a college ex-
amination. Horvath has a good rec-
ord at the institution. He is employ-
ed at clerical work and is sporting ed-
itor of the prison newspaper.
During the past year he has taken
the course in coal mining under in-
structors from State College and be-
cause of his excellent record he was
granted leave to go to State College
unattended to take the required ex-
aminations. He spent the most of two
days at the College, July 20th and
24th, and took examinations in the
course for fire boss, second grade mine
foreman and first grade mine fore-
man.
Horvath’s experience having estab-
lished a precedent, Charles E. John-
son, an Erie county man serving time
for larceny, is endeavoring to secure
a similar privilege. Since his incarcer-
ation Johnson has taken up photogra-
phy and has made such remarkable
progress as an amateur that he now
takes all the official photographs for
record purposes. But he is unac-
quainted with the fine technique of the
art and would like to come to Belle-
fonte one or two afternoons a week
and work in one of the studios here.
Just what success he will have re-
mains to: be seen. Johnson, by
the way, has also a splendid record at
the prison, and it is understood will
be an applicant for a pardon at the
regular meeting of the pardon board
in September.

Geo. Dallas Dixon has asked the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. to relieve
him from further duty as vice presi-
dent of the company in charge of traf-
fic. His request has been complied
with and Mr. Dixon has been appoint-
ed to the office of assistant to the
president. Mr. Dixon’s health neces-
sitated his withdrawal from the trying
duties of a traffic officer. He is known
in Bellefonte through the relationship
of Mrs. Dixon to the Curtin family.

ENCAMPMENT AND FAIR
AT CENTRE HALL.
The Hon. P. H. Dewey Will Attend for
First Time as Master of Penna.
State Grange.
Work on Grange park progresses.
The Grange leadership conference will
open on Tuesday, August 18th, only
two weeks in advance of the encamp-
ment, which will open Saturday, Au-
gust 29th. Much yet remains to be
done for each event, but those in
charge of the various departments are
exerting themselves to make this en-
campment even more successful than
in previous years.
No change will be made in admis-
sion charges, age limit nor tent rents.
The arrangement of tents will re-
main very much as last year, and the
usual effort will be made to place the
camp furniture in tents and make
compers comfortable. If wanted, elec-
tric lights will be placed in tents.
All those interested, and all Centre
county, should be concerned to make
of this exhibition the best in its his-
tory. A county so large and so rich
agriculturally, should take pride in the
display of its best products and each
year improve that display, both in
quantity and quality.
Cash prizes in all departments will
be paid, so the exhibitor to whom this
appeal has force will feel well repaid
for his or her efforts.
Some novel and interesting features
have been inaugurated in the poultry
department. Look for the premium
book for explanation.
Material for premium book is in the
hands of the printer and when issued
will be distributed.
For the entire week a good program
is being arranged and visitors and
campers will find no lack of amuse-
ment, entertainment and instruction.
A well-trained band will give many
concerts at various times during the
week.
The Hon. P. H. Dewey will be there
for the first time, as Master of the
Pennsylvania State Grange, and give
his message to Centre county. Other
Grange officials and leaders will also
be in attendance.
The evening programs will be given
over to the subordinate Granges,
which will present plays in the audi-
torium. A small admission will be
charged.
Prospects are bright for a success-
ful fair.
The Rev. M. C. Piper, of Miles-
burg, will ‘have charge of the serv-
ices in the Methodist church Sunday
morning, August 9th.
Republican Precinct Chairman Quits
in Disgust.
Hublersburg, Penna.,
April 27, 1925.
W. I. Fleming,
Chairman, Republican Party,
Centre County, Penna.
Dear Sir:
For about ten years I have served
as committeeman of this district, and,
during all these years I endeavored to
be a credit to my commission and
serve my party with all due fairness
and precision. But when in need of
legal help I received only a plain de-
nial. Having been run down and in-
jured by an automobile driven by a le-
gal representative of the party, I laid
the matter before Gov. Pinchot, the
district attorney of Centre county,
our former Judge and at last Law En-
forcement and Christian Fellowship’s
officers, and what answer did I get?
Simply, “We can do nothing.”
If any fraternity is so bound to-
gether that a member, though guilty
of a misdemeanor, may go free from
punishment because he is a member
of such fraternity, then I must feel
that criminality is protected rather
than punished.
Therefore; in view of these facts I
hereby respectfully and decidedly ten-
der my resignation as committeeman
of this district.
I am sorry to make this statement,
but in justice to myself and all hu-
manity 1 feel that the public should
know the injustice that is meted out
by our present officials and profession-
als.
Yours very truly,
BE. L. McCLINTOCK,
Hublersburg, Penna.
