Wagner last Saturday sold his interest in the Sourbeck candy store, on High street, to R. R. Davidson, of ‘Tyrone, who was for- merly connected with the McClintock & Musser company.

Dorst, aged 30 years, had a narrow escape from the electric chair on Monday morning. He was brought to the death house from Pittsburgh, on Saturday, after the State board of pardons had refused to consider his application for com- mutation, but late on Sunday after- noon Governor Pinchot granted him a respite until April 26th. Another «effort will be made to have his sen- dence commuted to life imprisonment. For years the Watchman has devoted a certain amount of space every week to the churches of Belle- fonte, space in which the ministers can make announcement of their services for the coming Sunday. There was a time when every one of them took advantage of this privilege, but it has been many a week since any of the Bellefonte ministers has sent in an announcement. Either they do not believe in advertising their wares or else they just don’t take the time to prepare a notice. ——The public sale season in Cen- tre county will soon be over and it has been a fairly profitable season so far as livestock was concerned. Horses, cattle, sheep and hogs brought fair prices, but farm ma- chinery did not bring its value. One thing noticeable this spring was the comparatively few owners of farms selling out for the purpose of retir- ing. This fact was emphasized in the real estate transfers, which showed many less farms changing hands this year than ordinarily. CANDIDATES ARE HUSTLING FOR CO. SUPERINTENDENT. Six of Them in the Field and All Quite Active. Two weeks from next Tuesday the school directors of Centre county will meet in convention in the court house, Bellefonte, for the purpose of electing a county superintendent as successor to David O. Etters, who has reached the age of retirement. There are six candidates in the field, so that it is not going to be a walk- over for any one of them. The list includes assistant county superinten- dent H. C. Rothrock, of Port Matilda, who naturally thinks he is entitled to the job as coming in the line of pro- motion. Milford F. Pletcher, of How- ard, a former assistant, is another ac- tive candidate. Then there is John B. Payne, of Bellefonte, now director of vocational schools in Centre county; L. E. Baird, principal of the Spring township High school at Pleasant Gap; F. G. Rogers, of Nittany, and S. S. Williams, of State College, all men of ample experience in teaching to justify them seeking the superin- tendent’s office. Every one of the candidates is working hard to get a corner on a suf- ficient number of school directors to put him across, but it is a good hum- ored, gentlemanly campaign, and there is no knowing who the success- ful man will be. In fact it is hardly likely that any of the candidates will be able to garner a sufficient number of pledges to put him across on the first ballot. B. H. S. in Debating League The local High school is taking a new step forward this year in the way of developing ability in public speaking by joining with State Col- lege and Philipsburg High schools in the formation of a debating league. Each school has an affirmative and negative team, and by the schedule worked out there will be two debates at each place, giving each team an opportunity to debate at home and away. The question for debate is: Re- solved, That it is advisable for the United States to join the World Court. A large cup, donated by the State College Parent Teachers asso- ciation, will be awarded the school with the highest standing. This cup has been on display for some time in Baum’s window. The Bellefonte pupils are making thorough preparation under the capa- ble direction of Miss Alice Lewis, head of the English department. From the following list the final teams will be selected: Mary Smith, Charles Mensch, Betty Ray, Fred Fisher, Albert Grove, Charles Bullock, Mich- ael Hazel, Gilbert Shope, Mary Robb, Elinor Magargle, Donald Mallory, and Harold Hoag. The first debate here will be held Friday, March 26, in the High school auditorium, the Bellefonte affirmative meeting the State College negative. The debaters and school officials are very anxious that this new worthy enterprise will receive the whole- hearted interest and support of the town. No admission will be charged. The Nittany Shoe Store Opening. The new Nittany shoe store, in the Arcade, was opened last week and, true to the advance notices, proved somewhat of a sensation. It is a radical departure in arrange- ment from any retail shoe store this community has been accustomed to, but aside from this interesting fea- ture the crowds that visited the Nit- tany on Thursday, Friday and Satur- day were interested most in the ex- traordinary size and variety of snap- py shoe models that were shown. It is, undoubtedly, a very modern and carefully stocked store. There is every kind of footwear for every kind of taste and foot. And with Wilbur Baney, whose long experience in the business here, in charge, there is a guarantee of courteous and patient treatment of every person who enters the place. Quite a few novel features charac- terized the opening days. Flowers were given lady visitors, music was furnished for all, there were toys and trinkets for the little folks and mani- kin’s displaying the shoe models. At times -the crowds were so great that the doors had to be locked until the congestion inside the store could be relieved. Penn State Grange to Banquet and Dance Tonight. This evening, March 26, at 6:30 o'clock the Penn State Grange will hold its annual banquet and dance at the Centre Hills country club. Many local people will hold pleasant mem- ories of this function last year, at which time the Worthy State Master P. H. Dewy made a very impressive address. This year the speaker of the evening will be past lecturer of the Pennsylvania State Grange, E. B. Dorsette. On the program will also be R. G. Bressler as toastmaster, R. L. Watts, and J. F. Shipley. Professor F. J. Heckman, and Mrs. Broyles will add much to the entertainment. Dancing 10 to 12 to the music of the Campus Serenaders will complete the evening. It will be an open affair and every- body is invited. Tickets may be se- cured, or reserved by phone, from S. B. Wingard, phone 67, or from J. S. Dale phone 406, both of State Col- lege. The price will be $1.50 per plate. Lester Meek’s Sale Drew a Great Crowd and Good Prices. Fine weather and good cattle com- bined to draw a great crowd to the Lester L. Meek farm sale at Waddle, on Wednesday. Though there was much to be sold bidding was so active that everything had been disposed of by the middle of the afternoon. The total receipts were $5442.77. The twenty-four head of cattle, cows, yearling heifers and all, averaged $98.16. Two of the grade guernseys went for $172.50 each. Sa——— ees. een. Methodist Conference Appointments. Before adjourning on Monday the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Epis- copal conference, in session at Ber- wick, voted to meet next year in the Trinity church, Lock Haven. Eighty- six changes were made in the assign- ment of 267 pastorates by Bishop Hughes. Rev. Homer S. Knox was re- turned to the Bellefonte church and the new appointments in Centre coun- ty are as follows: Halfmoon—W. H. Rose. Howard—J. F. Smith. Snow Shoe—A. A. Price. Pine Grove Mills—J. C. Rigby. —Laugh it off when you see Wal- lace Beery and Raymon Hatton in “Behind the Front,” at the Scenic next Monday and Tuesday. 13-1t Pruning Demonstrations to be Held in Centre County. There will be two pruning demon- strations on Saturday March 27. The first demonstration will be in A. H. Spayd’s orchard near the picnic grounds at Centre Hall at 10.00 a. m, In the afternoon the meeting will be held at Wm. Clevenstine’s, near Hecla Park, starting at 2.00 p. m. : Prof. R. W. Reuf, orchard special- ist from State College will assist R. C. Blaney, county agent, in conduct- ing these demonstrations. There are a number of trees on every farm in Centre county that need pruning and will never bear fruit successfully until they are proud. Prof. Renf will demonstrate how these trees should be pruned and will also do some grafting. Paroled Convict Beats up H. R. Mc- Monigal. Harold Newman, who is alleged to be a paroled convict from the western penitentiary, on Monday, badly beat up H. R. McMonigal, an aged citizen of Hannah Furnace. Newman served a two years and ten-months term in the penitentiary for larceny, having been convicted in the Centre county cours in December, 1922, on complaié | of Ellis Wigaman. Sd? On Monday Newman, according to repert, was in Beckwith’s store at Hannah, and on going out came face to face with Mr. McMonigal. Without any preliminaries he re- marked “you’re the man I’ve been looking for,” and promptly assaulted the aged men, beating him up pretty badly, according ‘to all reports. - —Don’t miss “The Vanishing American,” at the Moose theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. 12 big reels. 13-1t Oil of Untold Uses. The Gulf Oil corpuration of which the Gulf Refining company is a subsidiary, one of the largest pro- ducers of petroleum products in the United States, has in the last year entered the small specialty field with the introduction of oil known as Gulf Oil, “The Oil of Untold Uses.” This is gotten out in a small handy three- ounce can, as well as in three and eight-ounce bottles, for the conven- ience of large consumers. They have also put on the market a furniture polish, a cleaning fluid, 2 penetrating oil for use on springs of automobiles, and an insecticide which is claimed to be one of the most powerful manu- factured. The company is represented in this district by C. H. Dougal, Ben Venue Station, Gross Street & P. R. R. Pitts- burgh, Pa. A special effort is being made at this time to place these pro- ducts with local merchants and it is the intention of the company to back up the campaign with newspaper ad- vertising, so that every possible aid can be given to the dealer. —The Rev. Robert Reed and his family are moving this week from Iowa City, Iowa, to Columbus, Ohio, where Rev, Reed has accepted a. call to the Indiana Presbyterian church. Upon leaving State College, Rev. Reed and his wife, Mrs. Ruth Bottorf Reed, went to Champaign, Ill, then he accepted a call to the University church at Iowa City and from there are coming back east to Columbus. Each of Rev. Reed’s changes have been very flattering ones, both as to his successful ministerial work and also from a financial standpeint. ————— {re————— ——The Osceola Mills Water Sup- ply company has given to the State a free right to its water shed for a long period of years for the purpose of establishing a game preserve. The water shed covers a tract of 970 acres in Rush township, Centre county, and is regarded as an ideal place for the propagation of small game as well as deer. The preserve will be enclosed with a one-strand wire and posted to prevent hunters from en- croaching thereon. —_——— EE —————— HIGHWAY BUILDERS EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY. The officials and salaried employees of the Bellefonte office, State depart- ment of highways, District No. 1, last Thursday night, and made merry at a banquet and dance at the Nit- gathering proved so delightful to all present that it is just possible it may be made an annual affair. The com- mittee in charge was composed of Lloyd B. Brown, Thomas H. Mensch and Philip J. Gross, and every ar- tainment was letter perfect. The Penn Centre Eight orchestra furnish- ed music and after the sumptuous dinner those who preferred cards played bridge while others danced. The guests present were as follows: N. A.

Particulars of the accident which resulted in the death of Ward S. Yar- nell, at Chester, Pa., last week were not obtainable up to the time the Watchman went to press. According to reliable information Mr. Yarnell and his gang of men were engaged in making repairs on a ship, They were in the act of removing one of the steel plates which was being lowered with a block and tackle. The plate caught on an obstruction and Mr. Yarnell leaned out of an opening in the side of the ship and was looking up to see what held the plate when it suddenly dropped and crushed his head against the ship. = Notwithstanding his ser- ious injury his first thought: was for his men and he inquired if any of them had been hurt. He then insist- ed on walking to the ambulance that was rushed to the quay to convey him to the Sun Shipbuilding compa- any’s hospital. The accident happen- ed on Monday and the next day he had rallied to such an extent that there were hopes of his recovery but he grew worse on Wednesday and passed away at five o'clock that afternoon. The body was brought to the heme of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Yarnell, at Hecla, on Friday after- noon, where funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon. Burial was made at Zien. A Fortunate Auto Accident. On Sunday afternoon Harry Cley- enstine took a run up the new com- crete road through Bald Eagle valley. He had with him his wife and five other people. On his way back, some distance this side of Port Matilda, he was driving close behind a Ford car when the driver of the latter stopped quite suddenly without giving Mr. Clevenstine any warning. To avoid running into the Ford he turned sharply to one side and his ear went off the road and rolled down into a ditch, seme six or seven feet deep. He was just drifting along when the acci- dent happened and the car eouldn’t have been let down easier with a rope and tackle than the way it went over. Of the seven people in the car not one of them received a scratch. Help was secured and the car drawn up onto the road and a general inspection failed to reveal even a scratch on the it. There was a little mud on the fender where it landed in the ditch but a little water removed that. It was really the most fortunate accident that ever occurred in this section. Let us hope That it Does. Writing from Philipshurg recently Mrs. Van Daniker says: “If the Watchman gives as much pleasure to the rest of its subscribers as it does to me, surely your work is not in vain.” Wasn’t that a heartening message to receive and brighten up the de- pressing gloom of Tuesday morn- ing?

The Bellefonte Calcium Lime com- ‘pany is an infant industry being es- ; tablished by Fred. B. Healy, former ! deputy warden at Rockview peniten- tiary, at the Whiterock quarries, and - while there is no predicting its future [it is making an auspicious start and : : ’ —Mrs, Shuey, who has been in Bellefonte there 13 no reason why it shouldn’t develop into a very prosperous busi- ness. As everybody knows lime is one of the best land fertilizers in existence. It is also in a class by itself as a dis- infectant. For this latter purpose it has not been used as generally as some other disinfectants because it was never put in reach of the average householder. This the Bellefonte Calcium Lime company will now do. The pulverized, or hydrated, lime is put up in ten pound paper bags and one pound pasteboard containers with a perforated top. The latter is the ideal package for family use. The lime can be sifted out without any trouble or difficulty and doing away with the possibility of getting one’s clothing covered with lime dust while using it. The ten pound paper bags have been placed on sale in the hardware stores while grocery stores and drug stores will carry the small contain- ers. The first supply of this calcium lime was placed in the Bellefonte stores this week. Mr. Healy has al- ready placed a stock of his lime with. several wholesale concerns, and the fact that one of them has sent in a second order is evidence that there is a demand for it. ——The Bellefonte Academy has a boxing team.
