NITTANY MOUNTAIN ROAD
I.L BE OPEN
FOR THE GRANGE PICNIC.
Contractor Reitz will Keep It
~ Shape for Traffic During
Entire Week.
held at Grange park, Centre Hall,
next week has been removed. The
fear that the road over Nittany moun-
tain would be impassable and that
traffic would have to be diverted by
way of Linden Hall is now a thing of
the past. Realizing that hundreds of
people cross the mountain daily in
going to and from the picnic contrac-
tor Joseph Reitz, who is in charge of
the construction work of the state
highway from the watering trough to
Pleasant Gap, has announced that be-
ginning this (Friday) evening the
road will be thrown open to traffic and
will be kept clear until Saturday
morning, September 5th. This does
not mean that the road construction
crew will be withdrawn from the job,
as such will not be the case. Their
work will be confined to making fills
and widening the roadway on this side
of the mountain, which can be done
without impeding traffic. Automobil-
‘sts going to the picnic from this side
of the mountain, therefore, can take
the direct road and not the detour, as
heretofore.
One of the main attractions at the
picnic this year will be the Wayne
county boys’ band, which made such
a hit at the State farm products show
at Harrisburg last winter. It will be
there during the week and give fre-
quent concerts on the grounds.
Tent holders will be interested in
knowing that the committee in charge
has purchased seventy-five cots, with
mattresses, which can be secured by
any person desiring same at the small
charge of one dollar for the week.
The grounds will be open to teat
holders tomorrow, and tomorrow even-
ing there will be a band concert and
play in the auditorium. Rev. J. Max
Kirkpatrick will preach the sermon at
the Harvest Home services on the
grounds at two o'clock on Sunday
afternoon.
A full program has been arranged
for the entire week and while there
will be no set political days, with po-
litical stump speakers, any and all
candidates will be just as welcome at
the picnic as every other citizen. It
is the one week in the year when
members of the Grange have an op-
portunity to get together, and it is
only natural that the principal speak-
ers will be officials in that organiza-
tion. But the public is invited to at-
tend and enjoy the gathering.
Those Improvements to Bellefonte’s
Big Spring.
Every day as the improvements at
Bellefonte’s big spring progress fur-
ther toward completion, can be heard
expressions of approval of the work
from many residents of the town,
property owners who will naturally
pay their share toward stabilizing and
beautifying the town’s water supply.
In addition to this interest on the part
of our home people are the many com-
mendatory remarks passed by stran-
gers visiting in town and the auto
tourists who stop just to see the trout
and the big spring. They are unani-
mous in complimenting the borough of
ficials on their enterprise in making
of the spring a place of beauty as well
as utility.
As the work progresses a better
idea can be had as to how the sur-
roundings will look when all the im-
provements are completed. And the
interior of the new pump house will
be arranged in keeping with its sur-
roundings. In the northeast corner
will be located the lock-up, so called,
but which might better be termed a
lodging place for homeless wayfarers,
as the town these days has little need
of a lock-up. In the southeast corner
will be a comfortable and convenient-
ly ‘equipped office for use of the bor-
ough manager and possibly a chair
and desk for burgess Hard P. Harris
if occasion ever arises when he is
compelled to hold police court. Wheth-
er it will be made headquarters for
the police has not yet been determin-
ed. :
The walls which will surround the
spring and pump house will be sur-
mounted by an ornamental iron fence
and lamps will be installed on the five
stone posts to be erected along the
Water street front. A drinking foun-
tain will be erected on Water street,
outside the fence and an ornamental
fountain placed in the small park on
the plot of ground purchased from the
Bellefonte Lumber company. From
this it can be seen that when the im-
provements are completed the spring
and its surroundings will be a credit
to the town.

State Police Raid Finklestine’s - Pool
Room.
Shortly after seven o'clock last
Thursday evening, two state police-
men made a raid on the cigar store
and pool room of David Finklestine,
in the Bush arcade, confiscating punch
boards and a quantity of candy used
in prizes in connection with the boards.
A search of the room also uncovered
a quart bottle of “white mule” and a
pint bottle of blended moonshine. Mr.
Finklestine and his clerk, Ralph E.
Edmiston, were placed under arrest,
the former being held under $1,000
bail on the charge of illegal possession
of liquor and an additional $300 for
operating gambling devices. No in-
formation was made against Mr. Ed-
miston,

Young Hanged Himself with
Radio Wire.
A telegram received yesterday just
in as the “Watchman” was going to
press announced that Dr. Thomas W. :
| Young, dentist, of Los Angeles, Cal, '
The one anticipated obstacle to the on trial for the murder of his wife,
range fair and encampment to be had committed suicide by hanging
himself in his cell yesterday morning |
with a raido wire. Dr. Young was a
son of Rev. T. W. Young, former
and several years ago spent a few
days with his parents in Bellefonte.
His suicide will naturally bring to an
end the sensational trial which has
been in progress in Los Angeles the
past ten days or two weeks.
Ray Noll Prospecting for Minerals at
Pleasant Gap.
“And in six days the Lord made
Heaven and Earth and all that is
therein,” and left it to man to discov-
er what it contained. Geologists have
presented irrefutable evidence that
the earth in its original shape was
vastly different from what it is now.
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and
unknown convolutions changed the
entire face of the map and in so doing
may have buried countless treasures
beneath the many mountain ranges
scattered hither and yon throughout
the world. Many of these priceless
stores have been tapped and their
wealth made to contribute to man’s
uses but it is altogether possible that
the fountainhead has never been un-
covered.
A year or more ago Ray Noll did a
little prospecting on his farm at
Pleasant Gap, (the old A. V. Miller
farm), and while he failed to uncover
anything of value he did succeed in
laying open the geological formation
to a depth of fifty feet. The shaft
and the formation have been examin-
ed by a dozen experts, among them
coal mining engineers, and they have
all expressed the belief that coal or
valuable minerals of some kind, pos-
sibly lead or zine, underlie his land.
Acting upon the reports of the ex-
perts he has secured the services of an
expert diamond driller who started
work on Tuesday morning putting
down a test hole. Preparations have
been made to go down five hundred
feet, if necessary, to determine if any
minerals of consequence underlie the
ground. The showing of the first hole
put down will determine the extent to
which the drilling will be pursued.
It will be recalled that a year or so
ago Harry Breon did some prospect-
ing on land he owns at the foot of
Nittany mountain in the belief that he
was on the trace of a deposit of coal,
but his prospecting was confined to
the work he was able to do himself
and did not uncover anything of vaj-
ue.
Centre County Veterans at Grange
Park Next Wednesday.
The annual reunion of the Centre
county veteran club will be held at
Grange park, Centre Hall, on Wed-
nesday of next week, and naturally
the committee in charge is desirous of
having present every veteran of the
Civil war who can possibly arrange to
get there.
Looking backward the writer can
easily recall the day when the annu-
al reunion of the Veteran club was
considered the biggest event of the
year in Centre county. Those were
the days before the advent of the au-
tomobile and horse drawn vehicles
were the only means of travel in ru-
ral communities, yet people from |
twenty to thirty miles attended the
gathering. Of course old soldiers
were plentiful in those days and al-
most a regiment could have been mus-
tered into line at the reunion, while
the total crowd numbered several
thousand people.
At the reunion last year just thirty-
three veterans were present and of
that number four responded to the
last roll call during the year. They
were George Cox and James Reed, of
Bellefonte; Capt. George M. Boal, of
Centre Hall, and Charles Smith, of
Pine Grove Mills. They were all reg-
ulars at every reunion, but their
places will be vacant next week.
Saul Meyers Injured by Falling
Pole.
Mr. Saul Meyers, an employee of.
the Keystone Power corporation has
been a patient in the Centre County
hospital since last Thursday recover-
ing from injuries sustained when a
pole on which he was releasing the
wires broke off and fell to the ground.
Because of the change being made in
the pavement at the spring on south
Water street it was necessary to re-
move the big pole which stood inside
the curb opposite the spring. A gang
of men went to work, last Thursday
afternoon, to remove the pole, and in
doing so it was necessary first to
transfer the wires to a pole on the op-
posite side of the street.
The men knew the pole was affect-
ed with dry rot and had braced it on
all sides with pike poles. Mr. Mey-
ers was at the top of the pole taking
off the wires when one of the pike
poles slipped, the big pole broke off
at the top of the ground and fell with
a crash into the street. Fortunately
Mr. Meyers was on top instead of un-
der when the pole landed in the street,
but at that he had a number of front
teeth knocked out, suffered numerous
bruises and a severe shock, and was
injured internally, But he is recov-
ering nicely and hopes to be out of the
hospital in a few days.
Bellefonte Public Schools will Open
Next Monday.
The Bellefonte public schools will
open next Monday and the attendance
in the grades will probably show a
slight increase over last year. The
High school will be up to capacity
limit, as the number of applications |
from outlying districts is unusually
large. The purchase of the Dale
property on the east side of Allegheny
street and remodeling it into a school |
building for the first and second
grades enabled the board to make a
number of advantageous changes in
the High school building which will
give considerably more room to the
High school and upper grade students.
As to the remodeled building for
the primary grades, the finishing
touches are now being put on and the
benches put in place. The latter, by
the way are the same desks that were
in the old stone building. They
were taken out to the planing mill and
resurfaced, are now being rubbed and
varnished and will be just as good as
new. The wee tots in the primary de-
partment will occupy the first floor
room in the Dale building and the sec-
ond grade will be on the second floor.
Each floor has its own cloak room,
book closets, separate toilets for the
boys and girls, sanitary drinking foun-
tains and everything necessary for the
comfort and convenience of the chil- |
dren. The grounds have been graded,
rolled and planted in grass and the
small children will thus have their
own playground.
The schools will start off with a full
corps of teachers. Following the elec-
tion of teachers in July there was one
resignation, that of Miss Louetta Shy-
rock, who decided to get married in-
stead of teaching, but her place was
soon filled by the election of Miss
Esther Schofield, of South Fork, who
will be in charge of the fifth grade.
Superintendent A. H. Sloop, with sev-
eral of the teachers, has been busy
as can be this week getting everything
in readiness for the opening of school
on Monday. Hundreds of replacement
books are being distributed to the var-
ious rooms, and considerable painting
having been done the janitors have
given the building a general cleaning
from top to bottom.
In connection with the opening of
the schools Supt. Sloop calls attention
to the fact that all children must be
vaccinated; which means that every
pupil will have to present a certificate
of successful vaccination within the
past seven years. This is important.
Why Not You, Too?
Douglas Fairbanks firmly believes
that if the principle he employs in do-
ing his so-called “stunts” is applied
to every day problems of life, the re-
sult will be unconditional victory.
When about to perform an athletic
feat “Doug” resorts to dynamics.
First he makes a mental picture of the
hazard, then he arouses himself to an
emotional and spiritual pitch that will
stimulate the necessary physical
strength and vitality to make victory
his reward. “But,” he cautions, “a
man’s physical condition must be such
that his muscles have the strength to
respond when called upon.”
What Douglas Fairbanks finds neec-
essary in his work is true of every one
who would make the most of life. A
well balanced use of spare time—in
fun and friendship, study to increase
earning power, recreation for physic-
al fitness, and fellowship for culture,
refinement, and the development of
spiritual dynamic—is the natural de-
sire of every young man.
The opportunity “Doug” finds in
his membership in the Los Angeles
Y. M. C. A. awaits you, too, at the
Bellefonte “Y.” Inquire immediately
about the privileges a membership
will give you.
Knights Templar Field Day at Phil-
ipsburg Yesterday.
Knights Templar from the central
district of Pennsylvania, which includ-
ed Commanderies No. 26, of Lewis-
town; No. 33, of Bellefonte; No. 65,
of Huntingdon, and No. 74, of Phil-
ipsburg, held field day exercises at
Philipsburg yesterday. The Knights
gathered at the Hotel Philips, where
they had luncheon and in the after-
noon marched to Scott field, in full
regalia, where State officers witnessed
the drills and made an inspection of
the Knights, over two hundred of
whom were in line. In the evening the
Knights had dinner at the Philips, fol-
lowed by dancing from 8 until 12
o’clock.
The Bellefonte delegation went to
Philipsburg in “Miss Nittany,” the big
bus of the Emerick Motor Bus com-
pany, the party including the follow-
ing Sir Knights: W. H. Brouse, Dr.
S. M. Nissley, Russell Lambert, H. C.
Menold, Ward Barnhart, Alfred
Rhoads, Leonard Rhoads, Judge Ar-
thur C. Dale, Louis Schad, Myron M.
Cobb, S. Claude Herr, George Sunday,

Robert S. Walker, Eugene H. Weik,
Arthur H. Sloop, Joseph Wagner,

William M. Bottorf and George M.
Gamble.
——Mr, and Mrs. Forrest Ocker
have decided to give up their residence
in Bellefonte and move to State Col-
lege where they will occupy a house
at 107 east Nittany avenue. They
have been attracted to the College be-
cause of the opportunities offered in
keeping a lodging house for students.
Mr. Ocker, however, will not give up
his position with the G. Fred Musser
Co., but will commute back and forth
between State College and Bellefonte.
