Mid-year Graduates at State College
Number Sixty-seven.
Sixty-seven degrees were awarded
Tuesday night at the fourteenth an-
nual mid-year commencement at the
Pennsylvania State College, by Presi-
dent: Ralph D. Hetzel. Of this num-
ber, 59 were bachelor of science or
arts, and eight were advanced degrees
from the graduate school.
The Rev. Moses R. Lovell, of Wash-
ington, D. C., gave the commencement
address. The usual formalities were
observed and a new custom establish-
ed in the formation of the procession.
Instead of the president and the com-
mencement speaker heading the pro-
tession, as has been traditional for
years, the graduates were given this
honor. The graduates, including those
to receive advanced degrees, were
tendered an informal reception Tues-
day afternoon by President and Mrs.
Hetzel, at their residence on the
campus. Parents and friends of the
graduates also attended.
Each of the six undergraduate
schools was represented in the gradu-
ating class. The school of education
had 16 graduates; liberal arts 18;
agriculture nine; chemistry and phys-
ics five; engineering 10 and mines and
metallurgy one.
A bride of a few months was in-
cluded on the second honor list, Mrs.
Thelma Roof Bull, of Monroeton, who
last fall married William I Bull, of
Kennett Square, a graduate of last
June, whom she will now join in West
Virginia where Mr. Bull is engaged in
forestry work.
Among those who took second
scholastic honors was Miss Julia J.
Fisher, of State College.
Centre countians on the list of grad-
uates included Edward L. Willard, and
Julia Fisher, of State College; Thomas
Babcock, of Philipsburg, and Frank M.
Hosterman, of Boalsburg.
Board of Trade Organized at Howard.
A number of business men of How-
ard met in the old school building on
Main street, last Friday evening, and
organized a Board of Trade for How-
ard, electing the following officers:
President, J. Will Mayes; vice presi-
dent, Walter Yearick; secretary, Rev.
L. F. Sheetz; treasurer, W. C. Thomp-
son. W. K. McDowell, W. C. Horton
and A. A. Schenck were appointed a
membership committee, who were in-
structed to send out invitations to all
business men, merchants and others
interested in the general welfare of
the town to attend the next meeting
which will be held on Friday evening,
March 4th, at the same place, when
members will be received.
The object of this new organization
is to work for the welfare of the town
and advertise it and assist in securing
industries for the town.
John B. Payne, Harry M. Murtorff,
Harry Yeager and Claude Herr, of
Bellefonte, were present at last Fri-
day’s meting and gave some very help-
ful suggestions, which were greatly
appreciated by those present.
Howard is very favorably situated
for all kinds of industries, and has
a splendid supply of water, while
large deposits of brick clay and ganis-
ter rock are found near its limits.

Master Plumber Appointed Postmas-
ter of Philipsburg.
John Hirst, a master plumber of
Philipsburg, has also proven himself
an efficient plum picker. On Monday
he was appointed postmaster of that
town as successor to the late Frank B.
Wythe. So quietly did Mr. Hirst Z20
about seeking the appointment that he
literally had it in his vest pocket be-
fore anybody knew he was after it.
In fact quite a number of applicants
were still seeking signers to their
petitions after Mr. Hirst had been
notified of his appointment, all of
which is considered as evidence that he
had some strong influence back of him.

New Coach Attends Football Banquet
at Bellefonte Academy.
Among’ the one hundred or more
people who attended the annual foot-
ball banquet, held at the Bellefonte
Academy on Saturday night, was Rus-
sell Magee, the young athlete chosen
as the successor of Carl G. Snavely
as football coach. This was his first
appearance at the Academy and he
made a very favorable impression upon
the student body in general and foot-
ball material in particular.
Representatives from a number of
colleges were also included among the
guests and headmaster James R.
Hughes, who presided as toastmaster,
took occasion to state that the Acad-
emy was not prejudiced in favor of
any college so far as trying to exert
an influence over any of its athletes
in the matter of selecting a college
at which to complete his education.
Last year Bellefonte Academy boys
were found on nineteen college teams.
Mr. Magee and coach Snavely also
made brief talks to the students.
Among the speakers of the evening
were Neil Fleming, graduate manager
of athletics, of State College, who
talked on “Athletic Problems;” Paul
Brogley, who discussed “The Impressi-
bility of Youth;” “Chic” Meehan, New
York University coach, who talked on
experience on the subject, “The Acad-
emy Hard to Beat;” coach Carl G.
Snavely and the new coach, Russell
Magee.
One of the features of the evening
was the presentation to Capt. Hood of
a beautiful pipe by three Bellefonte
admirers, Robert Hood, Harry Walkey
and C. F. Tate, in recognition of his
remarkable services on the Academy
foot-ball team and the Bellefonte base-
ball team.
Among the guests of the evening
was Russell Stein, selected in 1921 by
Walter Camp as first choice for all-
American tackle. Stein graduated at
W. & J.,, and is now a resident of
Bellefonte, being connected with the
State Highway Department.
Bellefonte Noses Out Hollidayshurg
23-22.
A rally during the closing minutes
of the game gave Bellefonte a hard-
earned victory over Hollidaysburg
High last Friday night. Coach Riden’s
boys seemed to be in a slump and
found it difficult to compete against
the fast teamwork of the visitors.
Hollidaysburg was leading at half
time 14-6. - When play -was- resumed
the Red and White caged three double-
deckers in succession. The spurt was
of short duration and not until the
final half-minute of the battle did the
local team gain the lead. A shot by
Furey pierced the net just a few
seconds before the whistle blew. A
discussion followed the game as to
whether the goal should count or noi.
the referee's decision in favor of
Bellefonte ending the controversy.
Houtzdale will come here this (Fri-
day) night. The visitors will bring
with them a strong team, but Belle-
fonte must win in order to be in the
running for championship honors,
By winning Friday’s game Belle-
fonte stepped up to third position in
the Mountain league, the standing of
the clubs to date being as follows:
Won Lost P.C
Philipsburg 8 0 1000

Tuesday’s Kiwanis Luncheon.
In the absence of president W. Har-
rison Walker vice president James R.
Hughes presided at the Tuesday lunch-
eon of the Kiwanis club, at the Brock-
erhoff house. Guests present included
Ralph Dinsmore, of Wilmington, Del.;
Herbert Beezer, Bellefonte ; Jeff Mes-
semer, Dan Wieland and “Bobby” Mil-
ler, of State College. Kiwanians John
Rossman and Frank Hockman gave
brief talks on their trip to Florida and
a beautiful birthday gift was present-
ed Miss Berenice Crouse, the skillful
pianist, Rev. Homer C. Knox making
the presentation.
The Speaker of the evening was
“Bobby” Miller, of State College Ki-
wanis, who talked on the inter-club
idea. He advocated fraternal meet-
ings as a means of both pleasure and
profit,
——President Walker's instructions
to the two councilmen from the South
ward, at the regular meeting of bor-
ough council on Monday evening, to
come prepared at the next meeting of
council to make a recommendation for
a third official from that ward, has
naturally caused some speculation as
to who may be chosen. Rumor has
it that John Hartswick is being con-
sidered as a successor to the late
Thomas S. Hazel. His election by
council would be good only until the
next regular councilmanic election,
which will be next November. At that
time there will be four councilmen to
be elected. The term of John S. Walker
will expire with this year and also the
terms of Harry Badger and Harry
Flack, in the South ward. No changes
will take place in the West ward line-
up this year,
The Scenic’s Coming Photoplays.
We take great pride in calling your
attention to our coming attractions.
During our past nineteen years of ex-
hibiting we have never offered the
public such entertainment, and we be-
lieve you will also agree after you
look over the following program,
which has been arranged with much
difficulty and at considerable expense.
Nevertheless we must keep in line
with our slogan, “Presenting the bet-
ter class of photoplays,” and realizing
that nothing but the best in screen en-
tertainment will please you we submit
the following program for your ap-
proval:
This Friday and Saturday we offer
you “The Popular Sin,” made by Par-
amount, with Florence Vidor and Clive
Brook. You all know the stars and
who made it.
Next Monday, Tuesday and Wed-
nesday, First National presents “Me-
Faddin’s Flats,” with Charles Mur-
ray and Chester Conklin. Use your
own good judgment on this 8 reel
special. |
Thursday is Bebe Daniels in:
“Stranded in Paris,” with Ford Ster- |
ling. Please bear in mind this is for |!
one day only.
Friday and Saturday Paramount,
presents Richard Dix and Betty Bron- |
son in “Paradise for Two.” You are |
well acquainted with the company that |
presents it and the stars are old fav-
orites.
To balance up such a program we '
have the greatest comedies on the
market, and they are Mack Sennett’s |
which you all know so well. Fox
news, mightiest of all, Wednesday and
Saturday. Screen Snapshots and oth- |
er single reels of importance.
Topping it off we have the beauti- |
ful toned Robert Morton organ, which |
you all know is one of the finest or- |
gans you ever listened to. With such |
photoplays, comedies and music one |
can surely expect the Scenic to be |
Bellefonte’s most popular fun centre. |
More coming next week. Look for
it. 6-1t.

Deer Eat Farmer’s Corn After it is
Husked.
Every farmer in Centre county had
trouble getting his corn in last fall
because of the rainy weather, and
some of them didn’t get it all in.
Among the latter was George Fort-
ney, of Boalsburg. He had huskers
in the field as late as December 4th |
and on the evening of that day he had
about one hundred bushels of husked |
corn laying in piles in the field which |
he intended leaving there over Sun- |
day to dry.
But unfortunately it began to snow |
Denver Post Credits Rev. Ard With
“Remarkable” Address.
Mignon Baker, a feature writer for
the Denver, Col., Post, paid an unusual
compliment to the Rev. Wilson P.
Ard, in a recent edition of that paper.
It was because of an address that
Rev. Ard had made to the Woman's
club of Denver and’ was so highly
complimentary that we know his
many friends here will be interested
in reading it.
Pinch-hitting for Dean Hellems of
the University of Colorado was the
way in which the Rev. Wilson P.
Ard of the Messiah English Lutheran
church explained his unheralded ap-
pearance as speaker at the Woman's
club Monday.
Granting his audience every right
to feel disappointed when they had
gathered to hear Dean Hellems on
“Attic Ideals in Modern Life,” the
Rev. Mr. Ard proceeded to wipe out
every trace of disappointment by giv-
ing the most refreshing talk that has
‘marked the sessions of the Woman's
club for many a season. With seem-
ingly unlimited command of rhythm
from the cleverest jingle to the sub-
limest passage from Browning, he
built his theme around that bit of de-
scription of the temple of Solomon,
“and upon the top of the pillars was
lily work.” This plea for a solid
foundation for character that will
flower into beauty he gave again in
the words of Edwin Markham, who
voiced the needs of the world, as beau-
ty, bread and brotherhood.
In giving his audience five stand-
ards by which to measure their value
to their community, the Rev. Mr. Ard
counseled them to look back and see
if they had lost any of the things that
money cannot buy. Quoting Henry
Van Dyke’s “Patient Lover of Impa-
tient Men,” he built up his ideal of
friendship. His second measure of
value he gave as joy, defining it not
as happiness or pleasure, but as the
“joy that cometh from the Lord.”
The gift of the heart, his third
measure of value, Dr. Ard defined
variously as love, compassion, pity, or
“the touch of lily work on the top of
the pillars” of character.
“By our ability to see we are to
measure our value to our community,”
said Dr. Ard. “Having physically
perfect eyes, we yet fail to see God
about us. To one man a tree means
fire wood, to another a beautiful in-
terior trim for his house, to yet an-
other grateful shade in summer’s heat,
and to Joyce Kilmer, the lovely handi-
work of the God, who alone can make
a cree.”
It was under this fourth division
of “Eyesight” that Dr. Ard reached
his most exquisite height. He de-
scribed what he had seen in a sunset
over the Potomac, on the Pacific, at
the Grand canon of the Colorado, and
lastly in our Cheesman park.
As his fifth measure of our value ,
to our community, he defended the
overworked term “service” as that giv-
Beautiful Specimen of Mounted Arctic
Owl.
One of the most beautiful specimens
of a mounted bird ever seen in Belle-
fonte is that of an Arctic owl in the
show window of the Willard gents
furnishing store, in the Bush Arcade.
It is unusually large, snow white with
light mottled black dots and stripes.
The bird was killed in November on.
the Mrs. G. Murray Andrews farm,
near Bellefonte, by H. C. Antis and
was mounted by a Rebersburg taxider-
mist. It is the only specimen of its
kind ever found in this section, so far
as the writer can recall, and how it
came to fly this far south of its na-
tive habitat is of course unknown.

Second Victim of Auto Accident.
Mrs. Louise Emery Mervine, wife of"
Dr. Graydon D. Mervine, of Lock:
Haven, died on Sunday as the result
of injuries sustained on January 9th
in an automobile accident on “Dead
Man’s Curve,” on the Nittany valley
highway. The accident occurred when
four Lock Haven people were on their-
way home from Pittsburgh. R. J.
Moquin was so badly injured that he-
i died within three days. Mrs. Mervine's
injuries consisted of a broken arm and
body bruises. She seemed to be im-
proving satisfactorily until Saturday
when she collapsed and passed away -
on Sunday.
The plumbing firm of Lyons and
Witmer have contracted to buy the P.
H. McGarvey building on Bishop St.
It is one of the properties formerly
owned by the T. R. Reynolds estste
from which Mr. McGarvey bought it
some years ago. He has been con-
ducting a tire and accessory store
there but the deal does not include -
stock. It is the intention of Lyons
and Witmer to move their plumbing -
store and work shop to the new loca-
tion as soon as transfer is made. Just
when that will be is contingent on Mr.
McGarvey’s recovery from a recent
injury that has confined him to the
hospital. /
A ventilator and electric fan:
has been installed in the big fireproof
vault in the First National bank of
Bellefonte. It is not for the purpose
of keeping the money cool but a pre-
cautionary measure against any per-
son being suffocated in the event they
should be locked in the big vault by
mistake.
-——The many friends of Mrs. C. F.
‘ Romick, of Nittany, who has been con-
‘fined to bed for almost three years, ,
‘will be gratified to know that even
on Saturday night and the deepest | ing which is measured back to the giv- | under such trying circumstances she-
snow of the season, about a foot of :
it, fell on Sunday and covered the |
corn so that it was impossible to haul !
it in. After the deer hunting season
ended the deer began coming out of
the mountain in search of food and in |
some way they discovered the corn
piles in Mr. Fortney’s field with the
result that they ate all the corn that
was husked as well as tore apart most
of the shocks standing and ate that,
literally stripping his field of all the
corn left in it when the big snow put
an end to the farmer’s work of garner-
ing his crop.
Planning to Forestall Motor Accidents.
Members of the State Highway pa- |
trol in Central Pennsylvania held a
meeting in Altoona, last week, and
mapped out a tentative program for a
conference to be held in the same city
in the near future which will have as
its object the curtailing of automobile
accidents during the coming summer.
Automobile owners in Bellefonte, Al- |
toona, Huntingdon and Bedford will !
be invited to sit in the conference in !
the hope that some plan can be de- |
vised which will make the highways, |
while not entirely foolproof, yet in|
a greater measure more safe for the '
average motorist.
It is a well known fact that at least !
ninety-eight per cent. of the motor ac- |
cidents on public highways in the past !
have been caused either by careless-
ness or recklessness, and an intoxicat-
ed man at the steering wheel of an
automobile is more to be feared than
a man with a gun. If the public can
be educated to regard the safety of
their own lives as well as that of oth-
ers it will cause far less friction with
highway patrolmen.
Gordon Burd Dies as Result of Acci-
dent Near Wingate.
Gordon Burd, aged sixteen years,
was so badly injured by being run
over by a wagon on the farm of James
Davidson, at Snow Shoe Intersection,
last Thursday, that he died at the
Centre County hospital on Friday
morning. The young man was helping
Mr. Davidson haul in corn fodder and
in some way slipped and fell under
the wagon while it was in motion. One
of the wheels of the heavy vehicle
passed over the lower portion of his
body, causing internal injuries which
resulted in his death.
He was a son of James (deceased)
and Mrs. Catherine Burd and was born
in Union township. His survivors in-
clude his mother and quite a number
of brothers and sisters. Funeral ser-
vices were held in the Free Methodist
church at Unionville, on Monday
afternoon, burial being made in the
Oak Ridge cemetery.

Little Sermon
Lo, the young intellectual!
He Is esthetic. :
He dwelleth among his kind and
-talkketh confidently of his art. He let. |
teth his hair grow long and discourseth:
of Freud. He shaveth not, but he un-
derstandeth the futuristic. He laugh-
eth to scorn the conventions and
prateth of free love. He derideth in-
dustry.
And yet, being hungry, he buyeth
sustenance with money which his
father hath earned. For he remain-
eth esthetic only so long as he is com-
fortable.
So we mock him, knowing in our
hearts that we, too, would be esthetie.
