CENTRE COUNTY W. C.T. U.
CONVENTION REPORT..
The fortieth annual convention of
the Centre county Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union was held in the
Lutheran church, Bellefonte, Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week and
proved quite interesting. Apart from
the regular routine of business and
usual reports of superintendents the
interesting poster and department
display attracted attention. Two
beautiful knitted afghans made by the
Centre Hall and Tusseyville Unions,
which are to be presented to the dis-
abled of the world war, were bright
spots in the decorations. The patriot-
ic roll, containing two thousand sig-
natures of soldiers and sailors to the
total abstinence pledge against intox-
icating liquors and standing for law
enforcement, was an exhibit of much
interest.
The election of officers followed,
which resulted in the re-election of all
the old officers with the exception of
the corresponding secretary. Mrs.
Williams, of Unionville, begged not to
be considered as a candidate for the
reason of poor health necessitating
her withdrawal, to the universal re-
gret of all, as she has for many years
been faithful and efficient. Mrs. W.
A. Broyles, of State College, was
elected in her place.
After the benediction at the even-
ing session all joined in singing
“Blest be the Tie that Binds,” with
hands clasped and crossed arms. Thus
closed this convention the keynote of
which had been sounded at the first
session and reiterated at its last in the
slogan familiar to all White-Ribbon-
ers of Centre county for several years
past, “Back to the Bible and the Fam-
ily Altar.” This slogan was slightly
changed this year to “With the Bi-
ble and the Family Altar,” this spirit-
ual appeal being the strongest of all
as all acknowledge their utter depend-
ence upon a Higher Power in all their
deliberations; every session of a W.
C. T, U. meeting everywhere in all
parts of the world being always open-
ed and closed with prayer. Each local
minister took part in these opening
and closing ceremonies.
Centre County Artist’s Werk Makes
Impression in Paris.
It is quite within the range of pos-
sibility that Centre county has in
prospect the honor of being known as
the home of another great artist. As
the birthplace of George Gray Bar-
nard, whose sculpture has world-wide
acclaim, Bellefonte has always basked
in the reflected glory. The paintings
of Robert Lee Eskridge have attracted
such attention in Paris Salons that
Philipsburg, the place of his birth, is
destined to enjoy a distinction akin to
that of Bellefonte. In Sunday’s Phila-
delphia Ledger there appeared Mr.
Eskridge’s water color “Boats of Val-
ence” and accompanying it the foliow-
ing high tribute to his promise as an
artist:
Home again from two years of
study in Paris, and from exhibiting
his water color sand etchings in the
Spring Salon and also the Salon des
Independents in Paris, an American
artist, Pennsylvania born, has chosen
the little mountain town of Philips-
These pledges were secured by Miss
Rhoads on her recent Army and Navy |
tours to posts, camps, ships and sta- |
tions at the invitation of our govern- |
ment. = |
The special guest and speaker of
the convention was Rev. Maude T.
Seymour, vice president of the Penn-
sylvania W. C. T. U., whose wonder-
fully inspiring and illuminating ad-
dress on Wednesday evening on
“When Citizens are Sovereigns” was
most highly praised by all, while her
helpfulness at odd times throughout
the various sessions was greatly ap-
preciated.
Miss Roberta Carnes, a national W.
C. T. U. lecturer, who was to have
been the other special guest,” was
forced to cancel her engagement be-
cause of very sudden and serious ill-
ness, resulting in an operation.
The special music rendered both
evenings under the direction of Miss
Johnson, of Bellefonte, was unusually
fine, featuring Mrs. Forest Ocker, oi- ,
ganist of the Lutheran church; Mr.
Pletcher, of Howard, in charge of its
choir; Cecil Walker, of Bellefonte,
and Miss Johnson herself, as soloists,
while the M. E. junior choir and male
quartette added their quota to the ex-
cellent musical program. In addition,
Mrs. Steely’s large group of Loyal
Temperance Legion children, of Belle-
fonte, sang delightfully. Three girls
and one boy from this group took part
in the silver medal contest, little Miss
Sarah Quick winning the medal. A
small gift was presented to each of
the other contestants who were Gladys |
Kaler, Hazel Keeler and Katherine
and James Peters, of Bellefonte. The
Young People’s Branch, of Centre
Hall, was represented by Miss Mar-
garet Luse and Miss Elizabeth Brad-
ford, who told of the work of this de-
partment and very charmingly report-
ed the State convention of the Y. P.
B., at Harrisburg last June.
Following the evening program a
general reception was tendered to all
by the Bellefonte Union at which ice
cream and cake were served.
That afternoon the president, Miss
Rhoads, in her address, after telling
of the great world’s W. C. T. U. con-
vention in Edinburgh, Scotland, to
which she was a delegate, spoke of
the importance of the primaries and
sounded the warning against a divided
dry vote.
Wednesday morning at the largest
and most representative executive ses-
sion held in sixteen years it was unan-
imously voted to recommend Judge
Dale as their W. C. T. U. candidate,
he having “been tested and proven
true to their cause, and they realized
a divided dry vote meant defeat to
their principles. This was afterwards
duly confirmed in open convention.
Also it was unanimously carried, both
in executive and open convention, that
the name of the present district attor-
ney, Ivan Walker, be written in on all
ballots for that office.
Wednesday afternoon the Union
Signal contest proved very interest-
ing. Three local presidents were the
contestants, Mrs. Sharpe, of Philips-
burg; Mrs. Phillips, of Aaronsburg,
and Mrs. Bell, of State College. The
audience were the judges, registering ;
their decision by ballot, the result be-
ing that the prize of an autographed
copy of Miss Elizabeth Gordon’s latest
book, “Women Torchbearers,” was
awarded to Mrs. Phillips, of Aarons- |
burg.
i his water colors and etchings at the |
‘“claires et jolies,” declared him “a
burg, in Centre county, high in the Al-
leghenies, as the place for his first ex-
hibit in America since his return from
France.
He is Robert Lee Eskridge, and he
was born in Philipsburg in 1891. After
a boyhood spent in the Alleghenies, he ;
went with his family to California. |
{ There he studied in the Art school
: the University of Southern California,
| then went to study in the Chicago Art
i Institute. He is a member of the Chi-
‘ cago Society of Etchers.
{| Fox the last two years he has been
: studying in Paris with Boutet de Mon-
i'vel, Prunet, Naudin and Andre Lhote.
! Last spring he held an exhibition of
Galerie Simonson, on the Rue Cau-
martin in Paris—an exhibition prin-
d@pally of scenes in Spain and the Ba-
learic Isles.
* Maurice Barbelieu, in “L’Homme :
Libre,” praised his water colors as
painter whe has conquered our syn:-
pathy,” and characterized his “Moor-
ish Gateways” and “Procession at Pal-
ma in Majorca” as possessing, “one,
much poetry, and the other much life.”
His paintings were commended, too,
in various criticisms of work shown at
the Salon des Independents and the
Spring Salon—the Salon des Artistes
Francais, of this year.
After his exhibition at Philipsburg,
which began on Tuesday of this week,
and after a visit to his family, which
has returned from California to live
once more in Philipsburg, Mrs. Esk-
ridge will go to Chicago to live.
Stage Annual Poultry Show at State

lege, November 5th, 6th and 7th, ac-

Silver loving cups, special ribbons, '
bird magazines and some cash prizes
will be awarded winners. College '
teachers and extension specialists in '
the poultry department will be the |
judges. The College poultry depart- |
ment and the poultry club composed
‘of students specializing in poultry |
work will conduct the show. Last
year’s show was one of the largest in
the country. |
——The Bellefonte Academy and
State College both opened on Wednes- |
day of this week, both institutions be-
ing crowded to capacity. The Acade-
my, by the way, has the largest at-
tendance in its more than one hun-
dred years’ history, and with a full
corps of competent instructors there
is every indication of a most success-
ful school year, both at the desk and
on the athletic field.
In 2 field of four contestants W.
Harrison Walker won the Democratic
nomination for Judge of Centre coun-
of |
' and J. Kennedy Johnston 717. The to-
‘the borough was 600, Kline 371 and
i tion for the same office over Charles
t
ty at the primaries on Tuesday by a
majority of 254. His victory can be
ascribed mainly to his own efforts in
| getting in the fight early and plug-
‘ging away until the polls closed on
| Tuesday evening. It was a free for
i all fight between Mr. Walker, J. Ken-
nedy Johnston, N. B. Spangler and
Judge Arthur C. Dale, who sought to
| make a clean-up at the primaries by
being a candidate on the three tickets,
Democratic, Republican and Prohibi-
tion. On the Democratic ticket he ran
third. Mr. Walker polled 1302 votes,
Mr. Spangler 1048, Judge Dale 824
tal vote cast was 3891, which was over
1400 more than were cast at the pri-
maries two years ago when candidates
for an entire county ticket were nom-
inated. This is evidence of the inter-
est in the contest taken by the voters
all over the county.
On the Republican ticket Harry Kel-
ler overwhelmingly defeated Judge
Dale, his majority being 1307. The
total vote cast for Judge on the Re-
publican ticket was 5617, of which
number Mr. Keller received 3462 and
Judge Dale 2155. In fact Judge
Dale’s entire vote on the three tickets
was almost four hundred less than Mr.
Keller’s vote on the Republican ticket.
In Bellefonte the only contest of
any unusual interest was that for tax
collector between Herbert Auman, the
present incumbent; Orian Kline and
Harry Johnson. Auman’s total vote in
Johnson 34. On the Democratic tick-
et Charles Schaeffer won the nomina-
Fromm by a vote of 313 to 123.
A sticker attempt was made against
the regular candidates for council in
the West ward but it did not, result in
anything formidable. Another con-
test in the same ward was that be-
tween Miss Sarah Love and Edward
O. Struble for the nomination for as-
sessor, Miss Love winning out by a
large majority. Mr, Struble was also
a candidate on the Democratic ticket
against D. Wagner Geiss and lost that
nomination.
The complete vote for Judge will be
found in another column.

Harter — Holtzopple. — Morris 1.
Harter, son of Mr. and Mrs. William I.
Harter, of Blanchard, and Miss Made-
line Holtzopple, of Bellwood, were
married at the parsonage of the Bap-
tist church in Pottsville, on Wednes-
day of last week, by the pastor, Rev.
Mr. Bower. Following a wedding trip
to eastern cities the young couple will
take up their residence at Blanchard
where the bridegroom is the owner of
a flourishing garage.

——The hard coal strike has been
on almost three weeks but nobody in
Bellefonte seems to be worrying over
it. Of course many users of anthra-
cite fuel filled their bins during the
summer, and there is quite a stock of
anthracite in the yards of the coal
dealers in Bellefonte, but probably the
principal reason why there is so little
talk of the strike is that a great many
people have turned to bituminous coal
and having become accustomed to it
are not worrying about the black di-
amonds.
