State Commander Vail to Attend Le-
gion Celebration in Clearfield.
This year’s Fourth of July celebra-
tion will by far be the most spectacu-
lar, the most thrilling, and most en-
tertaining program that has ever
been attempted in Clearfield at any
time. The Legion as an organization
has always endeavored to give a dol-
lar and a half worth of entertainment
for every dollar spent by its patrons
and it has never yet disappointed in
a single instance to make the Fourth
of July the one big day of the year
not only for Clearfield but all the sur-
rounding communities.
As usual the day will start with
a mammoth military and industrial
parade.
Legionaires have offered the follow-
ing prizes as an added feature and
these awards are bound to make com-
petition keen for the different classi-
fications that will be entered:
Cup to the most beautiful and ar-
tistic float, or exhibit. Cup to the
float or exhibit best advertising the
business represented. Cup to the most
humorous float or exhibit. Cup to the
best patriotic float or exhibit. Cup
to the visiting Legion Post—having
largest percentage of its membership
in line. Cup to the best appearing
Fire company. Prize to the organi-
zation having the largest number of
marchers in line.
The Veterans reunion which is a
part of the day’s program also prom-
ices to be an outstanding feature of
this year’s event. Many Posts from
different parts of the State have al-
ready accepted the invitation to be the
guests of the Clearfield Post for this
day and attend the celebration. Com-
mander Vail has already assured the
local officers that he will be present
for the day.
Reckless Johnson, the world’s great-
est stunt balloonist, will be there to
do many thrilling stunts in the air
and will climax his act with a triple
parachute drop from his giant bal-
loon.
The great Brown and Dyer circus,
with twenty-five car loads of fun,
mirth and merriment, will be on the
grounds to entertain you with many
new and interesting features. There
will be rides for the children and spe-
cial precautions will be taken to pre-
vent any possible injury or accident
to the little tots.
After getting together the many
features of the day, including the par-
ade, Veterans reunion, dancing, horse
racing, base ball (two games), band
concerts, special attractions, vaude-
ville and hippodrome acts, balloon as-
cension, carnival and midway, and
gigantic fire works display, the com- |
mittee now have a job to schedule
these events in order that the day
will allow enough time for the entire
program to be exhibited.
John Lewis Shade Post extends an
invitation to every Veteran, whether
a member of the American Legion or
not, to go and enjoy this great day
with them and any Veteran in unj-
form who participates in the parade
in a marching body will receive a
complimentary ticket of admission to
the celebration.
Bellefonte Ball Players Lost Two
Games Last Week.
The Bellefonte ball team must have
lost its left hind rabbit foot last week.
After winning the first four games
played they dropped two in succes-
sion. The Williamsport P. R. R. took
their measure for a 5 to 1 defeat on
Thursday and Lewistown turned the
trick again on Saturday 8 to 1. But
one man cannot play every instru-
ment in a band and neither can any ball
team win all the games played. Recog-
nizing this fact there is no occasion to
lose confidence in the Bellefonte team;
rather give it more encouragement.
If the people of Bellefonte and vicin-
ity would turn out in greater num-
bers at the home games it would stim-
ulate the players to put forth their
best efforts. Try it once and see.
In the meantime Bellefonte is still
up in the front rank, as the following
standing of the clubs will show:

Coxey—Hess.—One of the prettiest
weddings that has taken place in
Boalsburg in some years was that on

rhinestones, with an embroidered
crepe veil. She carried a shower bou-
quet of white rosebuds and lilies of
the valley.
The attendants included Mrs. John
Ishler, a sister of the bridegroom, as
matron of honor, who wore a
gown of peach colored chiffon taffeta.
The bridesmaids, Miss Anna Mary
Hess, a sister of the bride; Miss Mil-
dred Kuhn, of Williamsport; Miss
Verda Corman and Miss Anne Gun-
sallus, of State College, wore gowns

er girls, Irene Ishler, Phyllis Hess,
Lucille and Virginia Patterson, two of |
whom were dressed in blue and two in
pink. John Ishler, a brother-in-law of
the bridegroom, was best man and the
| ushers, Edgar and Robert Hess, Homer

Immediately following the cere-
mony a reception was held at the
bride’s home and later a wedding din-
ner was served after which Mr. and

trip through eastern Pennsylvania, to
Washington, D. C., thence through
West Virginia.
Included among the two hundred
and fifty invited guests were friends

places.

in the Centre county jail in default
of involuntary manslaughter in caus-
ing the death of William Eboch, of
Lock Haven, as the result of a motor
accident on the Bald Eagle trail west

Eboch was on his way home from

Snyder drove out onto the highway,
struck Eboch’s car which was upset,
and Mr. Eboch was so badly injured
that he died at the Centre County hos-
pital on Sunday morning following
the accident.
Snyder, it is alleged, kept under
cover until the latter part of last
week when he returned to Port Ma-
tilda. He was promptly arrested on
charges of involuntary manslaughter,
but denies guilt on the other two.
However, he was held for court by

AIKENS.—Rev. Dr. Charles T.
'Aikens, ‘president of Susquehanna
, University, died at the Geisinger hos-
pital, Danville, at five o'clock on Tues-
day morning, following an operation
he underwent on Monday. He had
not been in good health for some time
‘and had already given notice to the
board of trustees of the University
that he would resign, effective Feb-
ruary, 1928. On June 2nd he became
quite ill and was confined to his home
until the 8th when he went to the
‘auditorium to preside at the gradua-
tion exercises of commencement week.
The same afternoon he was taken to
the Geisinger hospital.
Dr. Aikens was born at Siglerville,
‘Mifflin county, on December 1st, 1862,
hence was in his 65th year. He was
‘educated at the Missionary Institute,
'a preparatery school located near
Selinsgrove, and Gettysburg College,
later taking a course in the Gettys-
burg theological seminary. He was
ordained as a minister in the Luther-
an church in 1888, and a few years
later accepted the pastorate of the
Pine Grove Mills charge of the Luth-
eran church. He was located there
a number of years, or until called to
Selinsgrove twenty-two years ago as
president of Susquehanna Uuiver-
sity.
He found an institution full of
promise but lacking in proper support
and he at once set to work to make it
an educational force worthy of the
church. During his more than a score
of years of work there he built up its
property value from a hundred thous-
| and dollars to close to a million, and
with endowments amounting to al-
most a million dollars. Dr. Aikens
was affiliated with many boards of the
Lutheran church.
| While located at Pine Grove Mills
‘he invested in various business inter-
“ests at State College. He was one of
the men who started the State College
Times and was at his death financial-
‘ly interested in the paper and plant.
| He helped to organize and start the
First National bank, at State College,
and was a director at his death. He
{was also a director in a Selinsgrove
{bank and was the first president of
| the Susquehanna Trail Association.
