NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
“Honest Jim” Smoyer has re-
turned to his duties with the P. R. R.,
in this place, after a lay-off of nearly
thre¢ months caused by illness.
Merchant Wm. H. Brouse has
so far recovered from his recent at-
tack of pneumonia as to be able to be
up and about his room for a part of
the day.
Mrs. C. M. Sellers, formerly of
Fillmore, died in Altoona Wednesday
- evening. Funeral in the Methodist
church, Bellefonte, Saturday morning
at 10.15,
——From thirty degrees above zero
on Wednesday to ten below yesterday
morning is the variable kind of win-
ter weather that is now being doled
out to us by the weather man.
The Hon. J. Laird . Holmes,
Centre county’s representative in the
Legislature, got a place on the ¢om-
mittees on agriculture, game, law and
order, forestry, geological and judi-
cial.
That radios are becoming pop-
ular among farmers is seen from the
fact that whereas there were only 83
in-the farm houses of Centre county
in 1925 it is estimated that there are
now 266 sets in use.
The Woman's Civic club, of
Pleasant Gap, will meet in the Metho-
dist church, at that place, next Tues-
‘day evening, at 7:30 o'clock. Rev.
Reed ©. Steely, of Bellefonte, will be
the speaker of the evening.
——In the list of the appointments
made by the House, on Tuesday, Fred
Thompson, of Bellefonte, was given
his old place as one of the custodians
of the committee rooms. He was the
only Centre countian who so far has
been able to pick a plum from the ad-
ministration plum tree, not counting
Editor Dorworth, who did not have to
pick his.
The regular meeting of the
Woman's club will be held at the res-
idence of Mrs. W. E. Clark, 203 E.
Linn street, on Monday, January 31st,
at 7:30 o'clock. An enjoyable pro-
gram has been prepared on old furni-
ture, china, pewter and brass, and
there will be various pieces of these
on exhibition. All who are interest-
ed are invited.
At a recent meeting of the
Bellefonte Chapter of the American
Red Cross the report of the chairman
showed that a fund of $1000 had been
raised through memberships and
pledges made. While this amount is
not sufficient for a year’s work the
committee hopes to be able to add to
the fund in some way in order to re-
tain the services of the community
nurse.
. ——An -application was filed with
the Public Service Commision, on
Tuesday, fox the incorporation of the
Patton Electric company, of Patton
township, Centie county. Evidently
residents of Buffalo Run valley are
going to make an effort to have the
benefits of electricity in their homes.
This will mean another extension of
the’ Kevstone Power corporation's
service.
———1he Scenic has no need of put-
ting on a circus to draw a crowd. The
high-class quality of the motion pic-
tures shown there attracts all the
movie fans in Bellefonte and
vicinity. They realize that only the
best and latest pictures obtainable are
shown at this popular place of amuse-
ment and that is the reason so many
people are regulars. The Scenic al-
ways has been and will continue to be
Bellefonte’s leading motion picture
theatre.
——-A man by the name of J. H.
Murray was brought to the Centre
county jzil, on Tuesday, on the charge
of swindling Philipsburg women by
selling them a course in psychology.
It is charged that his operations con-
sisted in selling the course, collecting
a deposit then failing to make good
his part of the bargain. On leaving
Philipsburg Murray went to Altoona
where he was arrested on Monday on
2 warrant issued by a justice of the
peace, of Philipshurg.
——There seems to be a misunder-
standing abroad in Bellefonte regard-
ing the membership in the local li-
brary. The impression is that only
¥. M. C. A. members are privi-
feged to hold membership in the
library. This is an error, as
the benefits of the library are ex-
“tended to the public in general on
library business regulations. The
«£harges are as follows: Twenty-five
cents a menth, or $3.00 a year. This
entitles subscribers to two books a
week. The library is open on Tuesday
#harnoons from 2.830 until 5 o'clock,
and Friday evenings from 7 to 9
o'clock.
——Janet Woomer, who makes her
home with her grandmother, Mrs. S.
E. Showers; on Spring street, devel-
eped a case of scarlet fever early last
week and was promptly put into quar-
antine in a room on the third floor of
the house, in charge of her aunt, Miss
Eva Showers. Owing to the contag-
ious nature of the disease, however,
the community nurse and two school
teachers, Misses Heffly, of Johnstown,
and Crider, of Lock Haven, moved
across the street, temporarily, to the
William Smith home. The teachers
have been off duty ever since but will
be permitted to resume teaching next
Monday.
UPRISINGS IN CHINA
ENDANGER MISSIONARIES.
Fear Felt Here for Safety of the W.
R. North Family.
The continued mob uprisings in
China, which have been directed not
only against certain divisions of gov-
ernment but against some foreigners,
particularly the British, has reached
that stage where the entire foreign
element has been ordered to proceed
from the inland towns to points of
greaer safety. Only recently the
Watchman published a letter from
Mrs. W. R. North (who prior to
her marriage was Miss Sarah Shuey,
of Bellefonte) in which she failed to
express much apprehension over the
situation at Chungking, but that letter
was four months old and now the sit-
uation has become so acute at Chung-
king that the Norths and all their co-
workers have been ordered to leave the
city and are now on their way down
the Yangste river on a twelve hundred
mile journey to Shanghai.
As much of the territory through
which they will have to pass is also
infested with mob-crazed Chinese con-
siderable fear is felt here by the
friends of Mr. and Mrs. North and
their little boy Billy over their safety.
Information relative to the condition at
Chungking was received on Saturday
by Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Shuey in a
message from the Board of Foreign
Missions in New York city. The mes-
sage, which was as follows, is self-
explanatory:
To the relatives of Missionaries of the
Board of Fereign Missions of the
M. E. church located in Szechwan
province, West China.
We fully appreciate your anxiety in
connection with your loved ones who
are in West China and am sending
you the latest official information that
has reached us from that field.
Bishop Grose cabled us from Chung-
king, West China, that the situation
is not promising and that he is arrang-
ing for the women and children in the
western part of the province to leave
the field.
Since his cablegram the develop-
ments at Hankow and Foochow, as
well as other points, have rendered
the situation more critical and it has
seemed best that all women and chil-
dren in Szechwan and locality go down
the Yangste river, with the exception
of a few families where children are
not involved.
May I say that I was a resident of
the city of Chungking over forty years
ago when we passed through a mob
uprising, and that while of course the
situation is critical we have seen no
indications of attempts to take foreign
lives. May I further say that in Bish-
op Grose’s cable he stated that he
would do his utmost to protect the
lives of our missionaries, and that the
American consul is also exerting him-
self to that end.
Yesterday (probably last Thursday)
we received a cablegram from Shang-
hai stating that the following mission-
aries were enroute down the river:
Miss Helen Barton and the families
of W. R. North, Joseph Beech, Ray-
mond R. Brewer, S. H. Liljestrand, W.
M. Gentry, W. A. McCurdy, C. G.
Rape and others.

Child Burned to Death
Region.
in Tadpole
The thirteen months oid daughter of
Mr, and Mrs. Ira Harpster, of Tadpole,
was so badly burned by an explosion
oi kerosene, last Wednesday evening,
that she died within a few hours.
The father of the child was ill with
a bad attack of pneumonia and need-
ing some hot water quickly a member
of the household poured kerosene on
the fire to hasten it along. The kero-
sene exploded and the burning liquid
was thrown on the child setting its
clothes on fire. Though very ill and
clad only in his night clothes Mr.
Harpster got out of bed and went out
into the yard to get water to extin-
guish the fire. The house was saved
but the child’s death followed and Mr.
Harpster’s condition was rendered
more critical by his exertion and ex-
posure. The child was buried in the
Gatesburg cemetery on Friday after-
noon.’
Clinton County Man Killed With Own
Gun.
On Tuesday of last week George E.
Bressler, of Flemington, went out into
the woods to hunt foxes. He failed to
return home and on Wednesday a
searching party found him dead, a
portion of his head having been blown
off by the accidental discharge of his
gun while in the act of eraw'ing over
a wire fence. Mr. Bressler was a
cousin of Rube Bressler, the well
known ball player, and was forty-two
vears old. He was employed by the
New York and Pennsylvania Paper
company. He is survived by his wife
and several children, as well as a num-
ber of brothers and sisters, among the
latter being Miss Hilda Bressler, of
State College. Burial was made at

Harry M. Murtorff presided. After
a fine meal by mine host Landsy, the
regular business meeting was held.
The treasurer reported a balance of
$1290.34. The secretary read the min-
utes of the previous meeting and gave
his annual report of the year, which
contained many of the outstanding
projects sponsored by the Association
during the year 1926. The auditing
committee reported that the accounts
of the treasurer had been audited and
found correct.
A motion was then passed relative
to the closing half-holidays for 1927.
Beginning June 1st, all stores will
close each Thursday afternoon during
June, July, August, September, Jan-
uary and February. This was unan-
imously passed. A motion was passed
to close all day on holidays during
1927, New Year’s day, Memorial day,
July 4th, Labor day, Armistice day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas. A mo-
tion passed that the publicity com-
mittee be instructed to advertise all
dates of closing time in the newspap-
ers at least one month previeus to
June 1st.
The following officers were then
elected for the year 1927: F. W. West,
president; H. M. Murtorff, vice-presi-
dent; John M. Bullock, treasurer; John
B. Payne, secretary.
The following members gave short
talks and suggestions to the Associa-
tion to be followed out during the
year: N. E. Robb cautioned the busi-
ness men on allowing too much credit
and warned them of selling goods to
an unknown customer on the install-
ment plan. He advised the merchants
to cut down on their book accounts.
James R. Hughes gave an interesting
talk on the spirit of the organization
and stated that the interest in such an
organization would be kept up solely
by the attendance of its members.
T. H. Harter, of the Gazette, gave
a very spirited talk on “Appreciating
Bellefonte.” He gave some interesting
remarks on a recent western trip and
compared the bleak open spaces of the
west with the fertile valleys of Penn-
sylvania. He stated that loyalty at
home will build your town. He also
endorsed the words of Mr. Robb in
making the statement of restricting
credit and demanding the cash, that
your patrons will think more of you
and your business. Clyde Swartz also
spoke on the loyalty of Bellefonters
and urged that we boost our town in
every way possible.
American Lime and Stone Co. Dinner-
Dance Enjoyable Affair.
The American Lime and Stone com-
pany gave its annual dinner-dance to
all of its salaried employees and to
certain members of the Charles War-
ner company, of Wilmington, Dela-
ware, last Saturday night, at the Nit-
tany Country club, which contained
several interesting features. At the
start of the meal, each guest was given
a puzzle sheet with four questions
which they were given to work on be-
tween bites, from the soup to the nuts.
Thais sheet carried much of interest and
created quite a lot of discussion. Miss
Isabel Nevling won the ladies prize
and Ed H. Schneider, New York sales
representative, won the gentlemen’s
prize. During the last course of the
dinner Mr. Schneider and Mr. Bock
favored the party with vocal selec-
tions.
After the meal Mr. Charles H.
Warner, the president of the Ameri-
can Lime & Stone company, gave his
address to the employees, and his re-
marks were very much enjoyed and
appreciated by everyone present. The
next feature of the evening was an old
fashioned spelling bee, with the office
girls as pupils and Mr. Warner as
teacher, which turned into a very
gruelling contest and only after a vei-
ume of words had been spelled eor-
rectly was it possible to give the first
prize to Miss Esther Hines and the
second to Miss Catherine Reese.
The rest of the evening was spent in
dancing, playing cards, and talking
over old and new times with bits of
singing and entertainment furnished
by Miss Marie Chandler, Mr. Schneid-
er and Mr. Bock. Every one was in-
deed loath to leave when the elock
tolled twelve.

Frank M. Mayer Petitions in Volun-
tary Bankruptcy.
Frank M. Mayer, owner and opera-
tor of the flouring mill in this place
formerly owned by Ulsh and Bashore,
has filed a petition in voluntary bank-
ruptey to the United States Courts.
The mill has been closed for several
days while the schedule of assets and
liabilities was made. The disaster is
not very serious, however as the assets
approximate $60,000 with the liabili-
ties not more than $10,000 in excess
of that amount.
The cause of the difficulty is said
to be partially due to the old hazzard
that millers took when they accepted
wheat on storage.

gletown, and in which Taylor was rid- |
ing, skidded on the icy roads in the |!
Loop, turned turtle and pinned Taylor
beneath the car. His body was crush-
ed and he was dead when released.
Sents was arrested on the charge
of driving a car while intoxicated and
was brought to the Centre county jail.
It is quite possible that a charge of |
manslaughter will be preferred |
against him.
Taylor’s parents are dead but he is
survived by two brothers, George, of |
State College, and Charles, of Boals- ;
burg. Burial was made at Boalsburg |
on Wednesday afternoon.
The children injured were Barbara
and Betty Rhoads, daughters of Mr.
and Mrs, Albert Rhoads, of east Lamb
street, and Geraldine Confer. The
little girls were coasting down Ridge
street, on Sunday evening, from Lamb
to Linn, and shortly after eight o’clock |
made a trip just as Millard Hartswick |
was going up Linn street in his car. |
He did not see the coasters until it was
too late to stop and the result was
they ran into the rear portion of his |
machine |
Mrs. W. Harrison Walker ran from |
the house and helped pick the child- |
ren up and Mr. Hartswick took them
all out to the Centre county hospital.
There it was found that Barbara, 14
years old, had sustained a cut on the
head, cut on the right hand, cut on
the right knee and bad bruises on the
right hip. Betty, aged 8 years, had
a small cut on the left knee and
bruises while the Confer child, also 8
old, sustained a number of
bruises on her legs.
After having their injuries all at-
tended to the three children were re-
moved to their homes and all are get-
ting along as well as possible.
Last Friday morning Raymond Am-
merman, an employee in Montgom-
ery & Co’s store, drove to Tyrone in
Hassell Montgomery’s car to meet the
latter who was returning home from
a trip east. Just as he was entering
Tyrone the machine skidded and
crashed into a telephone pole, break-
ing the glass in the windshield and
doors and almost tearing the top off
the car. Ammerman was thrown from
the car and sustained a deep cut on
his forehead. Passing automobilists
took him to a physician’s office where
his injuries were attended to and then
he went to the station and when Mr.
Montgomery arrived informed him of
the mishap. The two men went to the
scene of the wreck and on examining
the car found it could be run home on
it’s own power, so drove it to Belle-
fonte.

Bellefonte Outclassed Mount Union
Bellefonte High school boosted its |
average in the Mountain High school |
basket ball league, last Friday even- |
ing, when Mount Union High was
downed by coach Riden’s cage artists,
53-24. From the opening whistle the
red and white tossers took the lead
and held supremacy throughout the
forty minutes of play. At no time
were the Bricktowners dangerous.
When the first session terminated, the
score stood 28-6.
During the concluding period the
score continued to climb. Although
presenting more opposition than be-
fore, the Mount Union boys still found
themselves completely outclassed in
every department of the game. Un-
able to penetrate Bellefonte’s im-
pregnable five-man defense, they were
compelled to resort to long shots.
Manager Ben Kauffman’s aggrega-
tion scored a total of 25 field goals.
Of this number Heverly registered 10,
Katz 7, Furey 4, Emil 3 and Watson
1. Watson and Katz each tallied once
from the fifteen foot line.
This (Friday) evening, while the
boys of Bellefonte High are in Tyrone
contesting with Tyrone High for
Mountain league honors, the Belle-
fonte girls will be entertaining the
Misses of State College High in a
game on the local Y. M. C. A. floor.
Coach Hollingsworth has been care-
fully preparing her candidates for the
team and they are expected to give a
good account of themselves. On Feb-
ruary 11, there will be a return game
at State College.

Judge Keller Will Show No Leniency.
Last week, when Judge Keller
sentenced a young man who had plead-
ed guilty to what is generally known
as highway robbery or banditry, to a
term of from ten to twenty years in
the western penitentiary, being the
limit allowed to be imposed for this
crime under the law, he gave warning
that so far as he was concerned, no
leniency would be extended to those
who were convicted in his court of
this offense.
This ought to be a warning to for-
eign bandits to stay out of Centre
county, and to local bandits as to
what they may expect if they come
before Judge Keller for sentence.
