—A letter from Julia Curtin Stai-
ley and her husband, E. Earl Stailey,
who wen’; to the Pacific coast six years
ago, is surely full of boosting propa-
ganda for California. The climate is
ideal, earthquakes there are feared no
more than thunder showers here; their
winter of rain is much more prefera-
ble to ours of ice, snow and sleet, bus-
iness is good and their climax is, that
they have just moved into their own
new house in Pasadena.
——The coldest weather of the sea-
son was experienced in Bellefonte last
Friday morning. The mercury drop-
ped to twenty-eight degrees above
zero. The ground was frozen hard
enough to carry the weight of an
ordinary man. Enough snow fell in
‘the Snow Shoe region and up in Fer-
-guson township to cover the ground,
while a little snow fell in Bellefonte
the night previous, but most of it had
vanished by Friday morning.
—The cold snap of the past week
‘has naturally driven everybody in-
.doors in the evenings and no better
place can be found to spend the time
than at the Scenic, watching the mo-
dion pictures and listening to the de-
Jightful music of that wonderful pipe
organ. Both are drawing cards that
care attracting many new patrons, and
every one goes away pleased with
their evening’s entertainment. It is
the regular patron who sees all the
good pictures.

Thompson, Betty Ray, Sarah Uzzle
and Rose Carpeneto have been entered
as contestants. As usual votes cost
only a cent a piece and can be had at
any of the drug stores or from G. W.
Rees, the nestor of the carnival.
An Indiana, Pa., correspondent
writes rather reprovingly of our hav-
ing reported last week that the Acad-
emy football team had defeated the
- Indiana Normal in a game here on
October 2nd. It was the California
Normal that the Academy trimmed
and while we recall that the last time
,the Academy and Indiana played our
boys went down under an avalanche
of 106 to 0 we are ready to bet the
discarded straw hat that the tables
‘would be reversed were the two teams
to meet this season.
——The three women of Curtin
street, who have been ill from the re-

fell down stairs; Mrs. Lewis Rearick,
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.
Dorsey Hunter, where she fell from a
back porch, and Mrs. Philip Fisher,
who fractured her hip in a fall over a
rug on the hard wood floor, at the
“home of her daughter, Mrs. Nelson E.
Robb. Mrs. Fisher was taken at once
to the Centre County hospital.
——The September term of court
closed last Saturday morning when
the jury in the case of Anna W. Keich-
line against the Decker Bros., return-
ed a verdict in favor of the defendant
in the sum of $850. Miss Keichline
had brought suit to recover on a claim
of $2800, alleged to be due and owing
her on her work as architect for the
Decker Bros. in the erection of their
new garage on Spring street, and also
on pencil plans prepared by her for a
proposed building on the Valentine
lot at the time the Decker Bros. had
taken an option on it. In the case of
T. R. Hamilton vs. A. E, Schad, an
action to recover on a book account,

In explanation of the statement
treasurer Owens said:
“It will be noticed by the above re-
port that up to the present time we
have received only $54526.93 on the
campaign pledges, and as the propor-
tion allotted to the building of the
new. wing. was 50 per cent. of the to-
tal amount. of pledges, we are enti-
tled to only $27263.47; and as we have
expended up to the present $28401.58
it was necessary for us to borrow
from the amount allotted to remodel-
ing and furnishing fund the sum of
$1138.12.
“This was absolutely necessary in
order not to hold up the building op-
erations during the good weather
when most progress could be made at
the least expense. And for the build-
ing committee to go ahead and finish
the new wing we must have the co-
operation of the subscribers.
“The last payment, according to the
pledge cards, is due November 1st of
this year, and we trust that every
subscriber who has not paid his
pledge in full will arrange to do so on
or before November 1st.
“The building committee as well as
the whole board of trustees are giving
liberally of their time in addition to
their subscriptions, without one cent
of pay, and will complete the new
wing and remodel the present struc-
ture at a cost not to exceed the $100,-
000, although the lowest bid received
from contractors when we advertised
for bids was upwards of $130,000.
“Now in consideration of all of the
above, it is up to you, subscribers, to
make good your pledges promptly and
help complete this good work which is
so badly needed in our community.”
Following Mr. Owens’ remarks the
chairman announced that the terms of
six members of the board of trustees
had expired and the vacancies would
have’to be filled. The six members
were George Hazel, Ralph L. Mallory,
John Blanchard, Horatio Moore, Wil-
liam T. Kelly and W. J. Emerick. The
five first mentioned were re-elected
for the full term of three years and
Mr. Emerick for one year.
Mr. Moore reported that the new
building had progressed far enough
for the plasterers to begin work with-
in a week.
There being no other business the
meeting adjourned.
Bush Estate Properties Sold at Public
Sale.
The Bellefonte Trust company,
trustees of the estate of the late Mrs.
Louisa Bush, sold at public sale, last
Saturday, four properties belonging
to the estate. The most valuable one
was the old homestead on south
Spring street, which was purchased
by Mrs. M, A. Landsy for $15,000.
The purchase was made with the view
of converting it into an annex of the
Brockerhoff house, of which Mr.
Landsy is landlord, although definite
plans as to the changes and improve-
ments have not yet been made.
The house on Spring street, vacated
during the summer by the Bent family
was purchased by Frank P, Blair for
$5,000. It adjoins Mr. Blair’s present
residence. Two small houses out in
Brown row were purchased by Nathan
Kofman.
The Hess’s are Back
Game Hunting Trip.
Newton and John Hess, who have
been on a big game hunting expedi-
tion in British Columbia and Alaska
since the latter part of the summer,
arrived in Bellefonte Wednesday, both
looking fine and enthusiastic over
their experience.
There were ten hunters in their par-
ty when they arrived at Telegraph
Creek, but there it was converted into
a small army. They hunt in a differ-
ent way up there than we are accus-
tomed to. The men were split up in-
to five parties of two each. Each par-
ty had two guides, a cook, a horse
wrangler, six saddle horses and four
pack horses. And all took different
directions, and kept on the move ex-
cept for short camps in regions where
the particular game they were after
abounded. They were splendidly out-
fitted, they say, and had every com-
fort to be expected in such a country.
Each hunter was permitted to get 3
sheep, 2 mountain goats, 2 carabou, 2
black bear, 2 grizzlies and 1 moose.
Mr. N. I. Hess got his limit of all ex-
cept sheep and grizzlies. He bagged 2
sheep and 1 grizzly. John got his lim-
it of all game but black bear, of which
he failed to kill any because the ter-
ritory he hunted in had none of that
variety.
Both of the gentlemen said that the
country is fairly alive with small, or
what they call trap game, and birds,
grouse of every variety.
They hunted mostly above the tim-
ber lines and found grass a foot long
growing to the very tips of the high-
est mountains. Because of the value
of the grass as horse feed they carried
no grain or other feed for the ani-
mals.
First Deer Killed on Bald Eagle
Highway on Tuesday.
A nice doe, weighing about one hun-
dred pounds, was brought to the Get-
tig meat market on Wednesday morn-
ing, dressed and the meat sent to the
Bellefonte hospital. The animal was
g | killed on the new state highway in
Bald Eagle valley, just above Julian,
on Tuesday evening, by Jerry Hans-
com, who lives out along the Beaver
Mills road. Mr. Hanscom was motor-
ing along the highway at a fair rate
of speed when the deer jumped out
right in front of his machine. It was
hit and knocked to one side. An ex-
amination showed that its back was
broken. The deputy game warden at
Julian was notified and completed the
killing. The affair was reported to
game protector Thomas Mosier, of
Bellefonte, who went to Julian and
brought the carcass to Bellefonte.
This was the first killing on the new
state highway.
i ——— A fe, %
Besides earning a reputation
for hustling building enterprises con-
tractor W. S. Williams, of this place,
seems to have time to devote to sports,
also. Tuesday night he went up Buf-
falo Run valley on a coon hunting ex-
pedition, bagged a big fellow and
nearly lost his pet coon dog. The
coon was only slightly wounded and
when the dog jumped in to finish'it
the foxy animal maneuvered the fight
so that both fell into a deep pool of
water. There the coon swam round
and round in a circle, fighting and ex-
hausting the dog so that it almost
drowned before the hunters dispatched
the game and rescued the dog with a
pole.
“The Gingham Girl” a Big Musical
“Comedy.
Those playgoers who delight in mu-
sical comedies are certain to welcome
the announcement that the sensation-
al success, “The Gingham Girl,” will
be the attraction at the Moose Temple
theatre Wednesday night (only), Oc-
tober 21st. The amusing worth of the
production is well known to every fol-
lower of theatrical affairs, the play
registered so solidly in public favor
that it has become famous from coast
to coast. Among the songs which
have helped to make it popular, and
which will be heard here, are “The
Twinkle in Your Eyes,” “Tell Her
While the Waltz is Playing,” “When
my Buddy Steps With Me,” “The
Wonderful Thing We Call Love,” and
“Sweet Cookie.” These song hits
were all written by one of the most
popular song writers, Albert Von
Tilzer.
The scenic investiture is a delight
and the costumes of silken loveliness
are a revelation of the modiste’s art.

Miss Ruth Garman’s popular tea
room, “The Dim Lantern,” that has
been such a magnet for dinner and
supper parties all season, will close
on Monday, October 19th. Meals and
luncheons will be served next Sun-
day for the last time this year.
After a rest of several weeks Miss
Garman will return to Brooklyn, N.
Y., to take up her winter work there.

Lantern” for the winter, as has been
her custom.
——Centre county football teams
were not very deep in the limelight
last Saturday. The Penn State eleven
was defeated by Georgia Tech, in New
York city, by the score of 16 to 7,
while the Bellefonte Academy lost to
the Syracuse freshmen, at Syracuse,
6 to 0. It is the first game the Acad-
emy has lost in two seasons.
ct ———————— IE
from Their Big Judge Dale Dismisses Motion to
Quash in the Centre County
Bank Case.
The motion to quash the proceed-
ings against Mrs. Florence F. Dale
and Andrew Breese, instituted recent-
ly through a bill in equity in the Cen-
tre county courts, was denied by
Judge Arthur C. Dale, last Saturday.
The bill had been one praying the
‘court to direct Mrs. Dale and Mr.
Breese, along with Geo. R. Meek, to
appear and show cause why, if any, a
receiver should not be appointed for
the Banking Company. The two for-
mer are not residents of Pennsylva-
nia consequently service on them had
to be gotten by public notice or adver-
tising.
This was done, but a blunder was
made in having set the time for them
to make an appearance before the no-
tice had run the legal time. Accord-
ingly a new notice was prepared and
advertised and a new date set for the
argument. Because of the attorneys
being busy with the regular term of
court it was postponed at least once
and finally held on Saturday, October
8rd. Judge Orvis, representing Mrs.
Dale and Mr. Breese, made no appear-
ance in person. Instead, he filed a
written argument setting up the claim
that the bill should be dismissed as to
them because they were not within the
jurisdiction of the court.
Mr. Meek is not a party to the pro-
ceeding and it doesn’t affect his status
at all. In the bill it is averred that
he “is a principal defendant.” This,
of course, every one knows he denies
and will so deny when his time comes
to make answer.
Now Mrs. Dale and Mr. Breese have
twenty days from October 10 in which
to determine what steps they will
take.
This afternoon at 2 o'clock the
creditors of Mrs. Mary Harris and
John M. Shugert will meet in the office
of James C. Furst Esq. to elect a
trustee in bankruptcy in compliance
with the federal court’s adjudication.
This meeting was to have been held
last Friday, but was postponed until
today because of the illness of referee
M. Ward Fleming, who will preside.

Public Health Activities.
Miss Anna McCauley, of Front Roy-
al, Virginia, who began work in Belle-
fonte as community nurse the first of
September has been dividing her time
between work in the schools and gen-
eral nursing care visits and reports a
total of ‘135 visits made during the
past month. The Well Baby clinic,
formerly a part of the Red Cross nurs-
ing program, is now under the super-
vision of Miss Ethel Campbell, State
health nurse, but Miss McCauley will
-| have a Child Health clinic for colored
children of pre-school age the last
| Friday in every month, in the W. C.
T. ¥J. room in Petrikin hall, from 2 to
4 p. m. Mrs. Arthur Foreman is chair-
man of the committee and had seven
children at the special clinic last week.
Since the parochial school is a pri-
vate school, medical inspection is not
provided by the State but the Catho-
lic Daughters have guaranteed the
money necessary and Dr. Coburn Rog-
ers, assisted by Miss McCauley, is
now making the inspection. The
Daughters have also provided money
for the dental hygienist and Miss
MacDonald, our dental hygienist, will
clean the teeth of all pupils in the pa-
rochial as she has of pupils in the
public schools. Miss McCauley will
continue the regular daily office hour
from 1 to 1:30 p. m., in the W. C. T.
U. room in Petrikin hall.

partmental instruction, one depart-
ment being held in the court house

ent of Public Instruction; Miss Jessie

New Red Cross Officers.
At the regular monthly meeting,
Monday afternoon, of the executive
committee of the Bellefonte Chapter
Red Cross, Hardman P. Harris was
made chapter chairman to fill the va-
cancy of the Rev. M. DePui Maynard
until the annual election in January,
and Mr. John W. Stewart, new phys-
ical director of the Y. M. C. A,, was
made chairman of the swimming and
First Aid class with the assurance of
the co-operation of Mr. James and
Charles Hughes, who have generously
promised the Academy swimming pool
for demonstrations. At the same
meeting Russell Blair was named
Roll Call chairman, and later accept-
ed. The annual roll call will be early
in November, E. P. Volgeman, of
Washington, D. C., field representa-
tive of the Red Cross, attended the
meeting and spent Tuesday consulting
with officers of the committee and
pushing plans for the roll call.

ing been east for the Railroad convention
at Atlantic City, he stopped here enroute
home.
—Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Reynolds, of Glas-
gow, Pa. spent Sunday in town; having
been guests of the former’s mother, Mrs.
Ella Reynolds, of Bishop street. Mrs.
Reynolds has clésed her apartments here
and gone to Glasgow where she expects to
spend the winter with her son and his
family.
—Mr. and Mrs. George M. Gamble, with
their daughters, Elizabeth and Mrs. Wil-
liam T. O’Brien, left the early part of the
week on a drive to Mrs. O’Brien’s home at
Phillipi, West Virginia, following a late
summer visit she and her son had made in
Bellefonte. Since going to Phillipi, Mr.
O’Brien has been with the Estella Coal Co.
—Mrs. Samuel Nevling, of Rochester, N.
Y., with Mr. Nevling, father of W. H. Nev-
ling, of Sioux City, Iowa, stopped in Belle-
fonte last week for a day, to see Mr. Nev-
ling’s nieces, the Misses Nevling, of the
American Lime and Stone Co. and some
friends of the Nevling family, who date
back to the time “Sam” Nevling was a res-
ident of Bellefonte. Mrs. Nevling and her
father-in-law were on a drive to Tyrone,
to visit with other members of the family.
—John Gochnauer, who came to Belle-
fonte Saturday, from Lancaster, to make
his home for the present with his grand-
mother, Mrs. Wilbur T. Twitmire, and Mr.
Twitmire, is the only son of Mrs. Twit-
mire’s only daughter, Margaret Brachbill
Gochnauer. Both Mr. and Mrs. Gochnauer
are now dead, their daughter having gone
to make her home with her paternal grand-
parents, the boy has come here to be with
Mrs. Twitmire.
—We had a pleasant caller last Thurs-
day afternoon in the person of Samuel
Corl, successful farmer, rock-ribbed Demo-
crat and highly respected citizen of Fer-
guson township. The paper was on the
press and there was a lull in other work
so we had time, and Mr. Corl had some
too, to sit down and talk. Being of the
same stripe in politics we naturally turned
to governmental affairs and before we quit
had about every problem settled—to our
mutual satisfaction. We did the job so
completely that we are convinced that if
President Coolidge and Governor Pinchot
were to step out and give Sam and me a
chance we'd make everybody happy.

High Officials of P. R.R. Visited
State College Yesterday.
President W. W. Atterbury and the
entire board of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, some forty in all, ar-
rived here yesterday morning from:
Philadelphia and drove by automobile
to State College. Their visit was one
of two hours only but it was fraught
with much significance.
The new president of the Pennsy
has always been friendly to the big
Centre county institution of learning
and the fact that so shortly after his
elevation he should head such an im-
pressive delegation on a visit there
gives food for thought, at least.
Coming so soon after the recent
Interstate Commerce hearing on the
matter of excessive freight rates to
State College it looks as though Gen.
Atterbury might have in mind solv-
ing that problem by extending his own
lines into that place.
This is only conjecture, of course,
but we’re convinced that something is
doing in that direction.
