The sale of tuberculosis Christmas
seals will begin today and, while it is
a project of the Woman's club, will be
conducted by the Senior class of the
Bellefonte High school under the lead-
ership of Martha Chambers and Mary
Robb.
The class has espoused the fight
against tuberculosis in memory of
graduates of the High school who
have died from it within the past five
years, namely: Elizabeth Galbraith,
Isaac Chambers and his sister, Helen
Chambers Sharpless, Theodore Kelly,
Durbin Gray, Bill Payne, Mary Tay-
lor. Vision these High school girls
and boys as health crusaders starting
forth to fight an enemy more insidi-
ous and devastating than any encoun-
tered by. knights of old and armed
only with the little Christmas seals—
insignia more efficient than bullets in
fighting the disease from which twen-
ty persons in Pennsylvania succumb
every day! It is not alone the money
derived from the sale of seals that
makes them not-to-be-scorned ammu-
nition but that the period of their an-
nual sale has become a time of dis-
seminating knowledge of preventive
measures—sunshine, fresh air, proper
food, .rest—that have reduced the
death rate from 150.9 per 100,000 pop-
ulation in 1906 to 81.4 in 1924. Please
receive these modern crusaders cour-
teously, buy seals, stick them on all
your letters, packages, monthly bills,
and show that you are a partner of
those who are working to wipe out tu-
berculosis.
Outside of Bellefonte seals will be
sold:

WEAVER.—Mrs. Alice M. Weaver,
wife of James H. Weaver, of Boggs
| township, passed away at her home in
: Central City last Thursday, following
‘an illness of eight months. Medical
: skill and loving care and nursing
: availed not in her battle for life.
She was a daughter of John and Su-
sanna Wagner, deceased, and was born
in Bellefonte on July 30th, 1861, mak-
ing her age 64 years, 83 months and 19
days. She married Mr. Weaver in Oc-
tober, 1884, and all her married life
had been spent in the vicinity of
Milesburg. She was a consistent
member of the Methodist church all
her life, dying in the faith in which
she so consistently lived. During the
long months of her severe illness she
endured her suffering with remarka-
ble patience and christian fortitude.
She was a woman who possessed
many very fine qualities. Possessed
of a genial and amiable disposition, a
charming personality, she made of her
home a delightful sanctuary for her
family and friends.
She was the mother of nine chil-
dren, one dying in infancy. Her hus-
band and the following children sur-
vive: J. Fred, Paul E. and M. W., of
Milesburg; Clarence W., of Pitts-
burgh; Mrs. J. C. Irvin, of Snow Shoe;
Mrs. H. C. Coleman, of Harrisburg;
Mrs. J. L. Oswalt, of Milesburg, and

ter F. Keichline, of Bellefonte; Mrs.
L. C. Wallace, of Akron, Ohio; Miss
Ella Wagner, of Milesburg, and John
C. Wagner, of Detroit, Mich.
Funeral services were held at her
late home at two o’clock on Monday
afternoon by her pastor, Rev. R. R.
Lehman, assisted by Rev. M. C. Piper,
after which burial was made in the
Bellefonte Union cemetery.

PEARCE.—Mrs. Eliza McGinley
Pearce, widow of the late Stewart
Pearce, died at her home in Conneaut,
Ohio, on Thursday of last week, of
blood poisoning. Ten days or two
weeks previous she had been on a vis-
it with- her son John, at Dearborn,
Mich., and on returning home was an-
noyed by a pimple on one of her fin-
gers. She consulted a physician but
he found no symptoms of anything
alarming. Within twenty-four hours
the pain in her finger was almost un-
bearable and she again called in her
physician but still he could discover
no cause for alarm. The next day an
infection broke out on her body and
‘she died within twenty-four hours.
She was a daughter of Daniel and
Harriet Taylor McGinley and was
born in Bellefonte a little over sixty-
two years ago. When a young girl
she married Stewart Pearce and the
first few years of their married life
were spent in Bellefonte. About thir-
ty-five years ago they moved to Con-
neaut, Ohio, and that had been her
home ever since. She was a lifelong
member of the Methodist church and
a most companionable woman in every
way.
Her husband was killed in an acei-
dent several years ago but surviving
her are the following children: Stew-
art Jr., of Conneaut, Ohio; John, of
Dearborn, Mich.; Donald, of Willough-
by, Ohio; Elizabeth, of Cleveland, and
Ruth, at home. She also leaves one
half-sister, Mrs. L. A. Schaeffer, of
Bellefonte, one sister and two broth-
ers, Mrs. Coolidge, wife of Dr. John
W. Coolidge, of Los Angeles, Cal.; A.

made in that place.

TAYLOR.—Following close upon
the sudden death, last week, of R. B.
Taylor, his mother, Mrs. Anna Taylor,
passed away at five o’clock on Tues-
day morning at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. R. S. Burns, in Detroit,
Mich. She went to Detroit last April
on a visit and while there suffered a
stroke of paralysis and never recov-
ered sufficiently to be brought home.
Her maiden name was Anna Starr
and she was born in County Cabin,
Ireland, seventy-seven years ago. She
came to Bellefonte as a young girl
and it was here she married Hugh
Taylor in 1867. Her entire life since
that time was spent in Bellefonte with
the exception of brief visits among
her children. She was the mother of
a large family of children and a splen-
did type of womanhood. She was a
lifelong member of the Episcopal
church and lived a life consistent with
its doctrines.
Her husband died many years ago
but surviving her are nine children,
namely: Col. H. S. Taylor, of Belle-
fonte; Mrs. R. S. Burns and Miss Lil-
lian, of Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. W. D.

Wasson—Fortney.—The home of
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Fortney, of Fer-
guson township, was the scene of a
pretty wedding, at 6 o'clock last
Thursday evening, when their daugh-
ter, Miss Britamart Fortney, became
the bride of James Wasson, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wasson, of the
Branch. Only immediate members of
the two families were present to wit-
ness the ceremony which was per-

Lutheran church. The young people
left on a wedding trip to western
cities. Their plans for the future are
not definitely known.
Toner—Martin.—Andrew J. Toner
{and Miss Mary F. Martin, both well
known young people of Bellefonte,

Christmas Cheer to be Distributed
Next Week. :
The First National bank of Belle-
fonte announces in their advertise-
ment, published on another page of to-
day’s paper, that on December 5th
checks will be mailed to all Christmas
savings fund depositors. While offi-
cials of the bank have not made pub-
lic the amount of money to be paid
out it is understood that it is no in-
considerable sum.
The Bellefonte Trust company will
also mail out checks early in Decem-
ber to its savings fund depositors, the
total to be approximately thirty
thousand dollars. While a good part
of the money thus saved by the week-
ly depositors in both banks will be
used in Christmas shopping, some of
it will go right back into the banks on
time deposits.
——Judge Dale last week handed
down a decision in the case of the
First National bank of Spring Mills
vs. S. G. Walker, an action to recover
on a note for $5000 endorsed by the
latter to cover a like amount of bonds
disposed of to the bank by E. E. Mec-
Featers. The note was given as col-
lateral for the value of the bonds
which the bank had been authorized
to purchase for Mr. Walker. The
bonds were delivered to the bank but
later withdrawn by the salesman on
the pretense of delivering them him-
self to Mr. Walker. This he failed to
do and naturally Mr. Walker repudiat-
ed the payment of the note when the
bank brought action to recover. Judge
Dale’s decision was in favor of Mr.
Walker, holding that the bank was not
entitled to recover as the bonds had
never been delivered to Mr. Walker.
The salesman, Mr. McFeaters, was
later arrested in Pittsburgh for other
swindling operations and is now do-
ing time in the western penitentiary
at Rockview.
——A new flooring was put on the
bridge at Milesburg the fore part of
the week, and while the work was in
progress all traffic back and forth
across the Bald Eagle creek was at a
standstill, as the only way to get over
was to detour by way of Curtin. Of
course this probably didn’t worry res-
idents of Bald Eagle valley very much
as they have been detouring all sum-
mer, and are still at it in the upper
portion of the valley where there are
several bridges as yet incompleted.
But when the latter work is done they
will have one of the best highways in
the county.

——In celebration of his forty-
eighth birthday anniversary W. J. Em-
erick, president of the Emerick Motor
Bus company, entertained his eight
drivers, his secretary, Miss Anne Bad-
ger, and his attorney, James C. Furst,
at a turkey dinner at his home on west
Linn street, on Monday evening.
Bellefonte friends of Mr. Emerick will
be interested in learning that he has
regained his old-time health after a |
long siege of baffling illness.

——The condition of Mrs. James A.
Beaver has been sufficiently improved
this week to justify the hope that she
will entirely recover from her recent
illness.

Peggy Udell Again in the Spotlight.
Peggy Udell, the former Zeigfield
Follies girl, who in January, 1922, cre-
ated somewhat of a sensation by elop-
ing to Elkton, Md., with Jack Mont-
gomery, of Bellefonte, but who of late
has been registered as a film actress
at the F. B. O. studios, in Hollywood,
jumped into the spotlight with both
feet, last Thursday, when she brought
suit against the general manager, B.
F. Fineman, for $501,500 on the
charge of two attempts at criminal as-
sault and one of false imprisonment.
In the statement Peggy asks $100,000
actual damages and $100,000 exempla-
ry damages on the attack charge;
$150,000 actual damages for alleged
| false imprisonment, $100,000 exempla-
ry damages on this charge; $50,000
j for “loss of earning capacity;” $1,000
for counsel fees growing out of the
| false imprisonment charge, and $500
| for medical service.
Following the alluring Peggy’s es-
i capade with Jack Montgomery that
| young man brought action for the
i anulment of the nuptial ceremony
on the grounds of intoxication, and
later the Follies enchantress spent a
| few days in Bellefonte in an endeavor
{to find out how much her youthful
| husband was worth in dollars and
| cents. The marriage was finally an-
;nulled at a heavy expense to Mr.
! Montgomery's mother. Later Peggy
i remarried but eventually drifted into
the movies.
Another Escaped Prisoner Recaptured
James Stanley Lee, one of the five
prisoners who escaped from the Rock-
view penitentiary on Sunday night,
July 5th, was recaptured in a rooming
house in Philadelphia on Tuesday. The
other four men were all recaptured
and are now doing time in the western
penitentiary at Pittsburgh.
Lee was originally sent to the east-
ern penitentiary from Philadelphia
: county for two and a half to five years
{for stealing automobiles. He was
transferred from the eastern peniten-
tiary to Rockview and had served but
| six months of his sentence when he es-
caped. Of late he had been working
jin an automobile body manufacturing
i plant in Philadelphia and officers lo-
i cated him through the visits of his
wife and six month’s old baby. Un-
der the law Lee is due to receive an
additional sentence equal to his orig-
.inal one when he faces Judge Dale in
the Centre county court, which will
likely be within a few days.
——A Pennsylvania railroad com-
pany surveying corps, which has
been at work on the principal
streets of Bellefonte most of the |
of |
week, has caused all kinds
curiosity and speculation as to the
purpose of the work. One guess was
that the company is contemplating the
establishment of a bus line but we
that there isn’t the least foundation
for this guess. Another one was the
establishment of a station up town,
‘but this is also ridiculous.
vey is being made on orders from the
head offices in Philadelphia and is
probably of only minor importance so
far as the residents of Bellefonte are
concerned. As one guess is as good
as another we might venture ours as
the desire fer an up-to-date topo-
graphical map of the business section
of the town.

The sur- !
fen
High School Wins.
Playing a steady, conservative game,
B. H. 8. triumphed over Juniata High
on the latter's field last Saturday by
a 10-0 score. A touchdown by Waite,
a field goal and point after touchdown,
both by Bower spelled the margin of
victory. The score is not really indi-
cative of the difference between the
teams, for the ball was in enemy ter-
ritory most of the game. Several op-
portunities to score were neglected by
the local boys due to the fact that they
were not pushed hard enough to rouse
their real fighting spirit. They were
content to take the game without roll-
ing up a score. The work of Garbrick,
at half-back was a revelation. Twist-
ing and squirming he gained constant-
ly through the enemy’s line. Mike
Hazel played a remarkable game st
end, stopping every play tried at his
side of the line. The Red and White
forwards were too strong for the Ju-
niata line, as is made evident from the
fact that they made only one first
down during the game. Bower’s punt-
ing kept the ball in enemy territory
and his field goal was a work of art.
The game itself was marked by the
absence of any roughness or ill-feel-
ing. Two penalties, one on each side,
were inflicted for holding, both of-
fences being purely technical.
The visitors were agreeably surpris-
ed by the friendliness of the towns-
people, a spirit never before encoun-
tered in any town in which they have
played. All needs were anticipated
and met to such an extent that one of
the boys remarked, “They treated us
so well that it’s a shame we beat
them.”
William Kern, Moshannon Boy, Killed
by Automobile on Monday.
While on his way home from school,
on Monday afternoon, William Kern,
almost six years old, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Kern, of Moshannon,
was knocked down and run over by an
automobile driven by George R.
Haynes, of Philipsburg, dying almost
instantly. The boy was one of a party
of five or six children traveling to-
gether. They had not gone far from
the school house when they heard the
approach of the automobile and all of
them stepped to the side of the road.
The Kern boy climbed up on the bank
alongside of the road and just as the
machine approached he ran down the
bank and right out in front of the car.
It was impossible for Mr. Haynes to
stop his car or turn out to avoid hit-
ting the lad, who was knocked down
and run over. The driver stopped as
quickly as possible, lifted the boy into
the machine and took him home. A
physician was hastily summoned but
the boy was dead. His skull was
fractured and his face badly crushed.
The lad was 5 years and 9 months old.
Burial was made in St. Mark’s ceme-
tery, Snow Shoe, on Wednesday morn-
ing. SE
The same evening of the accident an
inquest was held by ’Squire S. A. Rob-
inson, of Snow Shoe, but after learn-
ing all the particulars the jury exon-
erated Mr. Haynes of all blame.
——Contractor W. S. Williams and
a gang of carpenters began work on
Monday in making the alterations on
the old Bush homestead, on Spring
street, to conform to the ideas of the
new owner, M. A. Landsy, of the
Brockerhoff house. As stated in the
“Watchman” at the time of the pur-
chase of the property, the first floor
will be converted into three flats and
the second and third floor rooms fixed
flow of the Brockerhoff house. The
first thing done on Monday morning
was to tear away the big porch ex-
tending along the north side of the
building. The porch along the front
will be allowed to remain as it is, and
a small porch will be put at a new en-
trance to be made to the flat on the
north side. Of course the most decid-
ed changes at the present will be on
the interior of the building, and when
the work is completed, it will be a cosy
home for families or transient guests.

Gilmore Force, of Pine Glen, Dies of
Gunshot Wend,
Gilmore Force, sixteen year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Force, of
Pine Glen, died in the Philipsburg hos-
pital on Sunday as the result of a gun-
shot wound in the hip, sustained at
the home of Charles Dixon, of French-
ville, on Saturday of last week. Young
Force had gone to the Dixon home to
trade a horse on an automobile. He
was invited into the house and while
there Mr. Dixon was showing him his
gun. In some way the weapon was
discharged the ball entering Force’s
hip. He was taken to the Philipsburg
hospital where the leg was amputated,
the young many dying a few hours
later. Burial was made at Pine Glen.

Up to late on Wednesday evening
Judge Dale had made no appointment

State Law Regulates Butchering by
Farmers.
The State law regulating the
slaughtering of animals for food pur-
poses applies to the farmer who butch-
ers for sale during the winter months
the same as to the man who makes a
year-round business of it. Misunder-
standing of the application of the law
to farmers is evident from reports
reaching the Bureau of Animal Indus-
try, State Department of Agriculture.
In some cases, farmers bringing their.
butchered products to meat dealers
in town have been told that, by the
provisions of the law, dealers were
not allowed to purchase farm slaught-
ered animals that were not inspected
before sale.
The law does not require that car-
casses resulting from farm butchering
be inspected before sale, states Dr. T.
E. Munce, State Veterinarian. The
law does require, however, that the
farm slaughtered animals be in heal-
thy condition and then dressed and
handled under clean and sanitary con-
ditions, If the butchering is done un-
der filthy conditions, the meat may be
condemned as contaminated and the
farmer subject to prosecution.
The principle which the State seeks
to enforce at all times is that the oe-~
casional farm butcher, as other butch-
ers, shall dress the animals in a clean
place and protect the dressed meat
from contamination until delivered to
the retailer or consumer.
