large assortment of cut flowers and
potted plants.
——Robins, meadow larks and blue-
birds, the crocuses and rhubarb
sticking their noses through the
ground, and the mild weather of this
week are indications of the spring
season which had its advent on Sun-
day.
——Eggs have been selling in
Bellefonte at 25 cents the dozen this
week, with an abundant supply on
hand. This is cheaper than they have
been for several years, and the wise
housewife will lay in her Easter sup-
ply now. :
——The Edwards-Dunn company,
Inc., Greensburg, was low bidder on
the project to grade and drain almost
eight miles of roadway between Snow
Shoe and Kylertown. The bid, which
was opened at Harrisburg on Tues-
day, was $116,747.
——F. P. Blair & Son have a very
:attractive offer for prospective pur-
chasers of watches on the sixth page

plan it is possible for most every man
and woman to buy a watch on easy
payments. Read their ad.
——Robert Roan has sold his prop-

——The night mail plane east on
Tuesday morning was compelled to
land near Philipsburg because of
motor trouble. A mechanic was sent
to Philipsburg from the Bellefonte
field who was able to make repairs |
sufficient to enable the pilot to take
the air and continue his trip east.
——Last Friday was what the
Pennsylvania Dutch term “apple
day.” According to their mythology
if the sun shines bright that day it
will mean a big crop of apples as well
as other fruits. And the sun shone
brightly most of the day, so here's
hoping that the doctrine will prove
true this year.
—Hugh B. Wagner last Saturday
sold his interest in the Sourbeck
candy store, on High street, to R. R.

merly connected with the McClintock

deliver an illustrated lecture on land-
scape gardening. The public is cordi-
ally invited to attend.
——John McCoy has expert me-
chanics here this week setting the
machinery for his new hydro-electric
plant near Milesburg. He figures that
it will probably take a month to set
all the machinery, adjust it and test
it out, and by the first of May, at
least, he will probably be in a position
to furnish some of the current used by
the Keystone Power corporation,
—Milo D. 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.

copal conference, in session at Ber-
wick, voted to meet next year in the

ment of 267 pastorates by Bishop

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. -

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.

——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.

ment of highways, District No. 1,

How Ward Yarnell Met His Death.
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?

Bellefonte Calcium Lime.
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. It went down te Annap-

put on the gloves with the Naval
Academy freshmen. They didn't win
but they came within one of it, the
final result being 4 to 3 im favor of
the naval cadets. One of the Acad-
emy’s best boxers was out of the con-
test with a crippled hand, his place
being taken by a novice in the boxing
game. This is the first year the
Academy has gone in for boxing: but
in the future it will probably be a
regular thing in athletic training,
