ment in favor of being a regular.

ing coach Snavely get his proteges
ready for their first contest, which

when the U. S. army eleven from the

undoubtedly be a hummer for the
opening contest.

uled to take place at the close of the
1925-"26 school year,
WON'T SELL THEIR CHURCH.
Buffalo Run Presbyterians Vote to
Retain House of Worship.
Though they have not had a preach-
er for two years and no prospect of
having one soon the Presbyterians of
Buffalo Run valley, at a meeting on
Tuesday evening, voted fifteen to one
against selling their church.
While exact data regarding the his-
tory of this church is not at hand, the
congregation was organized sixty or
more years ago, when Presbyterians
were more plentiful in Buffalo Run
vallzy than they are now. A church
lot was secured on the Benjamin F.
Hunter farm and a house of worship
built. Between thirty-five and forty
years ago the church was destroyed
by fire and the present edifice was
built opposite the Meyers cemetery on
2 plot of ground secured from the
Joseph W. Marshall farm.
In the intervening years the church
has weathered the storms of being
buffeted from one charge to the other,
sometimes with the Boalsburg charge
and then with the Milesburg and Un-
ionville charge. But with each pass-
ing year the congregation has dwin-
dled until its numbers are small com-
pared to former years and it has been
two years or longer since they have
had regular preaching services in the
church.
Recently the question arose as to
what to do with the church. About
the only use made of it now is for
holding funeral services for the dead
to be buried in the Meyers cemetery,
just across the highway. Some of the
congregation would like to see the
church become the property of the
cemetery association and it was be-
cause of this sentiment that a meet-
ing was called for Tuesday night,
September 1st, to discuss the matter.
Discuss is all they did at that meet-
ing and another meeting was held on
Tuesday night of this week. Sixteen
people were present and after further
discussion a vote was taken and only
one person voted to sell the church
the other fifteen voting to keep it. A
committee of two was then appointed
to appear before the Huntingdon Pres-
bytery, at its next regular meeting, to
see if some arrangements can be made
to have the church made a part of
some regular charge. If this can be
done the little congregation can be
held together, otherwise the church
may eventually have to be sold.
——
Stolen Ford Coupe Located in Altoona.
Charles E. Gates, whose Ford coupe
was stolen on the streets of Bellefonte
early on the morning of September
2nd, was notified yesterday morning
by the police department of Altoona
that the car has been standing on the
streets of that city since last Friday
morning. Mr. Gates went to Altoona
yesterday morning and drove the car
back to Bellefonte.
The coupe was stolen from in front
of Crider’s Exchange some time be-
tween 1:30 and 5 o’clock last Wednes-
day morning, and not a trace of it had
been found until the notice from the
police department was received yes-
terday morning. As the car was sim-
ply abandoned on the streets of that
city there is hardly a possibility of
ever discovering who took it, but sus-
picion is directed towards two young
men who jumped their hotel bill at the
Garman house and skipped out at
three o'clock last Wednesday morn-
ing. The men went to the hotel on
Tuesday evening and claimed they
were selling carpet sweepers for a
Harrisburg firm. They also stated
that they were compelled to spend the
night in Bellefonte because they had
burned out the bearings on their car
and had to have them replaced.
The men did not retire to their room
until eleven o’clock Tuesday evening
and got out stealthily at three o’clock
Wednesday morning. The men regis-
tered from Alexandria but inquiry at
that village brought the information
that they were unknown there. Of
course it is not certain that they stole
the car but suspicion points that way.
A description of the men has been
furnished Altoona police in the hope
that the men who stole the car may be
detected, if possible, and properly
punished.

The Altenderfers to Move to Jersey
Shore.
About a month ago Girard Alten-
derfer, who had been working at the
milk shipping station of the Sheffield
Farms company in Bellefonte, was
transferred to the company’s plant at
Jersey Shore, and his position there
having become permanent he has de-
cided to move there from his present
home in Milesburg. Mr. Altenderfer’s
father, Martin L. Altenderfer, book-
keeper for the Titan Metal company,
will accompany his son to Jersey
Shore where he also has a position in
view. The Altenderfer family came
to Bellefonte with the opening of the
old Central Railroad of Pennsylvania
over thirty years ago and have lived
in Bellefonte most of the time since
then. Mr. Altenderfer has been prom-
inently identified with the Presbyter-
ian church and will be missed by the
congregation as well as in various
other ways.

Seven Mountains Man Brewed Beer
and Was Arrested.
An old-time story is recalled anent
the old Foust place in the Seven
mountains which every few years is
reported as being haunted. The ghost
walked in that locality on Wednesday
night of last week in the guise of
state policemen, who placed under ar-
‘rest Albert Earl, charged with brew-
ing beer with too much kick to it.
Earl admitted he had been making
beer which varied in strength, some of
it as high as four per cent.
Brungard, of Centre Hall, held him in
$1,500 bail for trial at court and in
‘lieu of a bond he went to jail.
——Republican voters, ask any per-
son of authority, and they will have to
admit that the tax business of Belle-
fonte has been the best in twenty-five
years. Vote for Herbert Auman.—

The Delay in the Centre County
Bank Case.
In answer to the several inquiries
we have had as to why the equity pro-
ceeding recently begun in the Centre
County bank case was delayed we
have made inquiry and ascertained
that it has been held up because it
was not initiated in compliance with
general equity practice.
When the bill was presented a time
was set for an answer to it and the
time designated was before the ad-
vertisement of notice to Florence F.
Dale and Andrew Breese had been in
the papers the iegally required three
weeks. The result of the bungle was
that they had not received proper le-
gal notice by advertisement and did
not have to answer.
Now the whole thing is in process
of being done over again, because a
new order of publication had to be ob-
tained.

Big Ku Klux Picnic at Hecla Park
September 26th.
Gigantic, wonderful, reads the an-
nouncement of a big Ku Klux picnic
to be held at Hecla park on Saturday,
September 26th. “The sight of a life-
time awaits you,” continues the post-
er, in a big program of “sports, drills,
contests, concerts, good speakers, cost-
ly and gorgeous daylight and night
fireworks display, featuring famous
set pieces—‘“America,” “The Liberty
Bell,” “The Klan Call of 1925,” etc.
The program will begin at 10 o’clock
a. m,, and the public is invited to go
to the park and spend a day with the
Kluxers. Ve
In this connection it might be men-
tioned that on Monday of this week
the Klan held a picnic at Harrisburg
which was attended by thousands. The
members wore hoods and robes but
were not masked. Big crowds invar-
iably characterize a public gathering
of the Ku Kluxers and it will not be
surprising if they have the banner
crowd at their picnic at Hecla.
Wagner’s Mill Burglarized on Wed-
nesday Night.
The large grist mill of C. Y. Wag-
ner Co. was burglarized on Wednes-
day night, the safe blown open and
about $100 in cash and one check stol-
en. The job was evidently the work
of professionals, who are probably
touring the country in an automobile.
They gained entrance to the mill by
breaking open the lower door next
the railroad, using tools stolen from
the railroad tool house close by.
The outer doors of the safe were
opened without being damaged but
the inner doors were blown open with
nitroglycerine. Bags of chop and
bran were used to deaden the sound.
While there is no certainty when the
job was pulled off the prebability is it
was after midnight, when travel along
the highway would be at its lowest
ebb.
" In making an examination of the
blown safe, yesterday morning, chief
of police Harry Dukeman found a
short end of fuse, evidently of the
kind used in blowing the safe. Noth-
ing else was discovered that might
give a clue to the robbers.

Gold Baseballs Appreciated by Acad-
emy Students.
During the summer a number of
Bellefonte business men raised a fund
and purchased beautiful gold souvenir
baseballs which they presented to
coach Snavely and the twelve men
who represented the Academy’s cham-
pion baseball team, which won every
one of the twelve games played. On
the balls was engraved the name of
the player and the position he filled
on the team. The players and coach
were naturally well pleased with this
mark of appreciation of their work
and requested headmaster James R.
Hughes to make due acknowledge-
ment. The business men and firms
who contributed to the fund are as
follows:
Montgomery & Co., Finkelstine,
Potter-Hoy Hardware Co., Carpeneto,
Sim Baum, City Bakery, Mott Drug
Co., the Last Resort, Rusbell, Knise-
ly’s Restaurant, F. P. Blair & Son,

Squire
Tuesday Will be Primary
Election Day.
Next
Next Tuesday will be primary elec-
tion day and the only contest of inter-
est generally to the voters of Centre
county wiil be that for the highest of-
fice in the gift of the people—Judge
of the courts. Adhering to its old-
time policy the “Watchman” has re-
frained from taking issue among the
five candidates aspiring to the high
honor. The primary campaign is a
preliminary bout that must be fought
out among the candidates themselves,
and the result of the primaries is usu-
ally a fairly good criterion not only of
the candidates’ popularity but the
wish of the voters.
The campaign has been a free-for-
all for the candidates, without any un-
usual outside interference, and up to
this time there does not seem to be
any “sure thing” candidate. Of
course the “Watchman” might make
predictions but they would probably
be “father to the thought,” so we’ll
refrain from doing that. The prima-
ries, at most, are purely the elimina-
tion contest, the real tug of war com-
ing at the election in November.
The principal contest in Bellefonte
borough is over the office of tax col-
lector. Two candidates are before the
Democratic voters for their support,
Charles Schaeffer and Charles Fromm.
Both are good, clean men and either
one would make a good collector.
Three Republicans want the nomina-
tion, Herbert Auman, present incum-
bent; Orian Kline and Harry B. John-
son. As it looks now the fight is be-
tween Auman and Kline, with both
feeling confident of victory.
In the West ward Miss Sarah J.
Love is contesting for the nomination
for assessor on the Republican ticket
against Edward O. Struble, the first
time a woman has aspired to that of-
fice in Bellefonte. Struble is also a
candidate on the Democratic ticket, |
and has for his opponent D. Wagner
Geiss.
Residents of South Philipsburg Tired
of Borough Life.
Residents of South Philipsburg
have grown tired of borough life and
all it entails in the keeping up of
streets, schools, water facilities, street
lighting, police protection, etc, and
are anxious to be unscrambled as a
part of Rush township. To this end a
petition is being circulated, which will
require the signatures of two-thirds of
the residents, to present to the court
of Centre county praying that the bor-
ough charter be annulled and that
South Philipsburg be reinstated as a
portion of Rush township. :
According to the last census the
population of the borough, men, wom-
en and children, was only a few over
five hundred, which means less than
two hundred tax payers. The result
is that the burden of trying to run
the town according to the borough
code has become too great to bear, and
that is the principal reason for the
move to have the town’s charter an-
nulled. As it looks now, the required
number of signers to the petition will
be secured, but it is also predicted that
the official paper will not have smooth
sailing through the Centre county
courts. A number of residents are
opposed to being unscrambled and
they have signified their intention of
contesting the annulment of the char-
ter when the time comes. In the
meantime the school facilities of
South Philipsburg are not adequate to
nieet the needs of all the children of
school age, and the borough does not
havz the money to improve conditions.
Etters—Bechdel.—Stanley Etters
and Miss Edna Bechdel, both of How-
ard, were married at the parsonage of
the Methodist church in Bellefonte, on
Wednesday morning of this week, by
the pastor, Rev. Homer C. Knox.
Freight Rates Prohibit Importation
of Peaches.
The women of Williamsport are
complaining because of the failure of
the peach crop in Lycoming county
and the failure of fruit dealers to im-
port peaches from other localities in
sufficient quantities to meet the de-
mand. The same condition exists in
Bellefonte. The few peach orchards
located in Centre county were minus
fruit this year, and the only peaches
brought to Bellefonte were by local
fruit dealers who retailed them at
anywhere from 25 to 60 cents the doz-
en, a price prohibitive for canning
purposes.
While the peach crop was a total
failure in central Pennsylvania, New
Jersey had a large crop, in fact so
large that the fruit sold in Philadel-
phia for 65 cents to $1.25 a basket.
Up in Lehigh county, this State, peach
orchards were heavily laden with fruit
and growers had trouble getting pick-
ers sufficient to gather the crop. The
New York crop is also quite large but
local dealers aver that the freight
rates are so high that they cannot af-
ford to take the risk of importing
peaches to Bellefonte. The price they
would have to charge for a basket of
peaches would be more than consum-
ers would pay, and they are afraid to
take the chance.
