Wm. B. Wilson for United States Sen-
ator.
William B. Wilson, Secretary of
Labor in the Cabinet of President
Wilson, has issued the following
statement in connection with his cam-
paign for the Democratic nomination
for United States Senator:
“I have accepted the invitation of
a number of my friends to become a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for United States Senator.
“My record for public service in
Congress and in the Cabinet of
President Wilson, is, I take it, a suf-
ficient assurance of the soundness of
my Democracy. I stand upon that
record and the record of party
achievement.
“If elected Senator I shall use
whatever ability and influence I pos-
sess.
“To maintain the purity of elec-
tions by the enactment of laws, Fed-
eral if necessary, to safeguard the
election for United States Senators
and representatives in Congress, so
that all votes shall be honestly cast,
honestly counted and honestly cred-
ited to the person for whom they are
intended. :
“To see that the Government is
conducted on a basis of the strictest
economy commensurate with efficient
service.
“To promote world peace by the
creation of, or adherence to, such in-
ternational agencies as will tend.
“To oppose giving power to the Na-
tional Government to take over and
operate any established industry, ex-
cept as a war measure, or to com-
mandeer any person to work in them.
“To open, and keep open, the doors
of opportunity on a frame work of
equality to all persons in every walk
of life.
“I cannot accept the theory that
the Federal Government must not
deal with social and moral wyestions.
Such a theory carried into effect
would not only repeal the Eighteenth
Amendment, but would also abolish
several important departments with
all of their scientific and social wel-
fare bureaus, including the Bureau
of Standards, the Bureau of Mines,
the Bureau of the Public Health Ser-
vice and several others of a similar
character. All such questions should
be decided upon their merits and the
jurisdiction given to the States, the
Federal Government, or concurrent-
ly, which ever will best serve the in-
terests of the people.
“I shall oppose every attempt to
nullify any portion of the Constitu-
tion, or to impair the functions of
any Federal department, that is giv-
ing a desirable service better than it
could be provided by their respective
States.”
——Check-ups in the larger cities
of the country have revealed the sur-
prising fact that bans on parking on
the business thorofares has increased
retail store business in every section
that it has been tried. This should
be of interest to our local business
men’s organization. For a long time
we have questioned the effect on
any business place of permitting long
time parking in front of it. Much
hurried shopping is done from auto-
mobiles these days. When some staple
product is desired that can be se-
cured at any store, the customer ap-
proaches the place he or she has been
accustomed to trade but finds it
blocked by cars that have probably
been parked in front of it for hours
and then drives on to the first open
front that can be found. Motorists
passing through a town might have
temporary needs that would be cater-
ed to were the store windows not
obscured as they are in most places,
the result is that they either go on
home without it or procure it at some
small road-side stand.
B. H. S. Track Candidates Called Out.
One of the numerous signs by which
the advent of spring is proclaimed
was evident this week at Hughes field,
when the High school track team
started training for its coming cam-
paign. Enough material, most of it
inexperienced, it is true, was on hand
to assure a good team. Last June’s
graduation took heavy toll of the best
track team B. H. S. has ever had. Its
best dash man, Jimmy Shope, and its
star quarter-miler, Benny Emil, both
members of the relay team were lost.
Practically all the distance men,
which included Kaler, Stine, and Dor-
worth were graduated. Coach Stock
certainly has his hands full trying to
repair those losses. A tentative track
schedule has been formed which is as
follows:
April 24—Penn Relays, Philadelphia.
May 1—Interclass Meet, here.
May 8—Interscholastics, State.
May 15—P. . A. A, Altoona.
May 22—C. C. I. A. A., State.
May 31—Interscholastics, Clearfield.
ZIMMERMAN.—Funeral services
for the Rev. W. Earl Zimmerman,
former pastor of the Cadwalader
Heights M. E. Church, Trenton. N. J.,

ing the ministry at the age of 17,!
when he joined the New Jersey Con-
ference. He had had charges, during

Chatsworth and Camden. It is sig-
nificant that two weeks ago, when he
was resigning from the ministry, he
stated that he had been ordained in
the Cadwallader Heights church,
preached his first sermon there and
would also deliver his last one there.
And he did.
Aside from his widow, he is sur-
vived by three sons, Earle, Charles
and Milton Zimmerman; two sisters,

Has Absorbed Democracy for Sixty-
one Years. }
Writing from his home down in
Maryland Nelson A. Lucas says he
has been a reader of the Watchman
ever since it started. That means that
our venerable and veteran friend
started to read the “One and Only”
when he was tén years old, fdr the
Watchman is 71 and Nelson came into
the world ten years prior to its ad-
vent.
His father’s was one of the first
names on the Watchman’s original
subscription list and Nelson absorbed
such sterling Democracy from reading
the paper that today he is a disciple
of Andy Jackson in the truest mean-
ing of the word.
Mr. Lucas was formerly well known
here and is the repository of some of
the best county political stories we
have ever heard. Some day we are
going to publish one of them about
the elder Judge Orvis when he was a
young practitioner in Bellefonte. It
is a dandy and its subtlety reveals
why the then young lawyer was
destined to become one of the keenest
minds in the Pennsylvania courts.
Mr. Lucas is the man who hauled
the brick that were used in building
the Bush house. He had the contract
to deliver them from Gardner’s Island
in the Bald Eagle valley to this place.

1926 La Belle of the Bellefonte High.
The Senior class of the Bellefonte
High has received word from the
printer of their annual that all ma-
terial for the 1926 La Belle has been
received and is now being set up for
the presses. The printing is being
done by the Paragon Press, of Mont-
gomery, Alabama, the firm which did
the work last year. Some people may
wonder why the school elects to send
its work so far away. The reason is
because there are very few publishers
who make a specialty of school annu-
als and who therefore may be relied
upon to do the work in the proper way
without continuous supervision. Most
publishers have so much commercial
work on hand, which is more profit-
able, that they are not interested in
school printing except at prices pro-
hibitive to the schools. Those who
recall last year’s La Belle will re-
member the fine quality of paper and
printing.
Philipsburg Girl Scouts Take Sewing
Course.
Seventy Girl Scouts of Philipsburg
have enrolled in a sewing course con-
ducted by Miss Mary L. Reynolds,
home economics extension representa-
tive of this county. These Scouts
meet in school once every three weeks
for a two hour period.
Each Scouts’ aim is to have a rea-
sonable knowledge of the constructive
processes of simple garments, to be
neat and accurate, and to be able to
present some practicable proof if nec-
essary of her knowledge. With this
information each Girl Scout will pass
the Girl Scout Needlewoman’s test.
Lesson one consisted of a detajled
discussion of “cloth, instructions for
cutting of apron, the cutting of apron
from a pattern and one from meas-
urements,

candy and other stuff to a probable

of a good family and the only reason
he could assign for his act was that
he had been drinking moonshine and
didn’t realize what he was doing. The
court sent him to the Huntingdon re-
formatory.
L. B. Rainey, aged 35 years, who
gave his home at Wallaceton, Clear-
field county, plead guilty to passing
worthless checks and carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons. The passing
of the worthless checks took place in
Philipsburg recently. Rainey pui-
chased some clothing at the store of
Simon Ziff and gave a check for $25
in payment, receiving some change.
He also gave R. D. Flegal a check for
$20. Both checks were drawn on a
Curwensville bank and both were re-
turned marked “no funds.” When ar-
rested a loaded revolver and a box of
cartridges were found in Rainey’s
pockets. Rainey told the court that
he hadn’t been in Centre county in
seven years though the court records
show that he was party to a divorce
action here in 1922. He was given
one year in the county jail for pass-
sing worthless checks, while sentence
was suspended on the charge of car-
rying concealed deadly weapons.
Clifford Nevling, aged 23, and Lee
King, aged 21, entered pleas of guil-
ty to an attempted holdup of Miss
Catherine Hefferan, a school teacher
of Osceola Mills, on the highway
near Edendale, about two months ago.
The young men, in a statement to the
court, maintained that the whole af-
fair was a joke. That they had had a
date to meet two girls in that locality
on the evening of the alleged holdup
and when they met Miss Hefferan and
another young lady they thought they
were the girls they were to meet, and
just in fun pulled the holdup stunt.
Miss Hefferan’s story of the attempt-
ed holdup, however, didn’t accord
with the joke idea, as she said the
two men passed them then turned
around and followed them. The
court records also show that Nevling
had served .over two years in the
Huntingdon reformatory for larency.
The court gave both young men one
to two years in the western penti-
tentiary. '
Love’s Labor Lost.
C. C. Shuey had it on Wednesday.
Driving in the highway from Pleas-
ant Gap he overtook a stalled truck
of the Lauderbach Griest Co. With
characteristic kindness he stopped
and volunteered to tow the truck in to
Bellefonte. The offer was accepted
and the truck hooked on to the Shuey
car.
Then the Rev. C. C., started, driv-
ing with all the care of a person tow-
ing a cargo of dynamite. He made
wide detours at the turns and took
every precaution that the pilot of a
tow should. Running in low he final-
ly landed at the warehouse of the
Company in this place, jumped out
and was just about to do the “little
Jack Horner” stunt when—Lord bless
you—he discovered he had no truck
at all.
The chain evidently didn’t hold
when he took on his tow and before
he got through explaining his strange
carryings on the truck rolled in undér
its own power.
Imperial Filling Station Robbed.
The Imperial filling station in this
place was entered and robbed, Sunday
night, and while the exact amount of
money taken is not definitely known,
it was in the neighborhood of sixty-
five dollars. The job was done by
John Burns, a young man about
twenty-six years of age, who has been
implicated in one or more burglaries
in the past. With the money he stole
at the filling station he invested in a
Victrola, a number of records, a new
pair of trousers, candy and other
things, which led to his prompt arrest
by chief of police Harry Dukeman.
Most of the stuff was recovered by the
officers.

Water street front of the big spring

cement on top of the stone wall,
which marks the final completion of
the wonderful improvements made at

dents of the town who will criticise
the expenditure of money necessary
to make the improvements.
