Mr. Wilson Confident.
In an address delivered at the Jack-
son day dinner, in Philadelphia, on
Monday evening, the Hon. William
B. Wilson expressed entire confidence
that the seat in the United States
Senate for which he is contesting will
be awarded to him. Not only will
William S. Vare be denied the privi-
lege of taking the oath of office,” he
declared, “but the legally and law-
fully elected Democratic candidate
will be permitted to take the seat.”
That is a hopeful view of an involved
question and implies sublime faith in
the integrity and intelligence of the
Senate. If the investigation is thor-
ough the contest can have no other
result. Of the legal votes honestly
cast Mr. Wilson had a substantial
majority.
By corrupt and excessive expendi-
ture of money, obtained from sources
of doubtful legality, Mr. Vare dis-
qualified himself for membership in
the Senate under the rules laid down
in the Newberry case. That fact
eliminates him from the reckoning
and makes absolutely certain the
statement that he will be “denied the
privilege of taking the oath of of-
fice.” But that will not of its own
force award the seat to Wilson. It
must be shown that he received a
majority of the legal votes cast. The
mere recounting of the ballots will
not accomplish this result and the
Senate committee on Privileges and
Elections, with Senator Watson at
its head, is not likely to go beyond
that if it can be avoided.
It has been revealed by judicial in-
vestigation in Philadelphia that thou.
sands of the votes cast for Mr. Vare
were illegal and necessarily void.
They have no right in the ballot
boxes that are to be opened and
counted but they are there. If the
investigation will be sufficiently
searching to separate the legal from
the fraudulent ballots, and only the
legal ballots are counted, “the legally
and lawfully elected Democratic can-
didate. will be permitted to take the
seat.”
such an investigation be made. If
it fails to show a majority for him
he will be content and the party he
represents will gladly enter him as its
candidate to fill the vacancy.

Marion Talley to Sing in Altoona.
The greatest musical event of the
season will take place in Altoona, Fri-
day night, January 20, when Marion
Talley, prima donna, soprano of the
Metropolitan Opera company, of New
York, wiil be presented in concert by
the Altoona Music Club.
Miss Talley, whose phenomenal rise
to fame startled the entire world, is
now ranked as the most outstanding
rersonality in the world of music,
Her popularity may be gauged by the
fact that the Altoona Music club suc-
ceeded in obtaining the only open
date she had for this season, and
Miss Talley’s season is the longest of
any artist now appearing before the
public beginning in September and
lasting until the end of July.
The Altoona concert will be held in
Roosevelt Junior High school audi-
torium, at Seventh avenue and Fif-
teenth street. Advance tickets are on
sale at many towns in the vicinity of
Altoona, but mail orders for reserved
seats are now being received at Win-
ter’s Music store, Altoona, and these
will be taken care of when the re-
served seat sale opens on January 17.
Llven at this early date the demand
for seats has been tremendous and a
capacity crowd is expected.
Miss Talley will be assisted by
David Sterkin, violinist, and Charles
King, pianist, and will prsent the fol-
lowing program:

Bellefonte Branch American Red
Cross Reorganizes.
According to all reports there was
a rather stormy session at the annual
meeting of the Bellefonte branch of
the American Red Cross, held in Pet-
rikin hall on Tuesday, all over the
proposition of purchasing 2 car for
the use of the community nurse. No
one contradicts that fact that a car is
badly needed to permit the nurse
meeting all the demands upon her
time and strength, but some of the
members doubted the expediency of
the purchase with the limited fund at
hand. In fact, a number of those
present left the meeting, it is said,
and later those who remained reor-
ganized by electing W. R. Cliffe,
chairman; Mrs. Samuel Shallcross,
secretary, and Charles M. McCurdy,
treasurer.
The society has arranged for a
benefit exhibition of the wonderful
motion picture, “The Moon of Israel,”
Lat the Richelieu theatre on February
2nd. It is a twelve reel picture which
cost one million dollars to produce.
A matinee will be given in the after-
noon for school children.

Pseudo-Contractor Had Good Job at
Big Pay for All Applicants.
Agitation of Republican papers to
the contrary there is no denying the
fact that at the present time there
'are more idle men in Centre county
than usual at this time of year, so
workmen of Howard and Axe Mann
cannot be blamed for jumping at a
chance for a good job and big pay
which was offered a week ago by a
pseudo contractor who answered to
the name of Stover.
The man appeared first at Howard,
the last week in December, and let it
be known that he had been awarded a
contract to replace all the telegraph
poles and wires along the Bald Eagle
Valley railroad with a new pole line
rand cable. He wanted all the men
he could get and the wages would be
$6.00 for an eight-hour day. The
men were told to report to him at
Howard on Monday morning of last
week.
From Howard he went to Axe
Mann, arriving there. on December
30th, and engaged lodging and
i boarding at the home of William
| Johnstonbaugh. There he let it be
‘known that he had the contract for
replacing the telegraph wires along
| the Lewisburg railroad with new
"poles and cable. The wages were to
be the same as those offered at How-
tard but he also qualified his offer
by stating that he would not expect
the men to work only hard enough to
keep themselves warm. All men
wanting work were told to report at
Johnstonbaughs on Monday morning
of last week. The man also came to
Bellefonte and arranged with John
McCoy for a team and wagon to be
sent to Howard Monday morning.
On Saturday evening, the last day
of January, Mr. Stover met L. A.
Johnson, at Axe Mann, and asked for
the loan of five dollars, explaining
that he had intended coming into
Bellefonte during the day to cash a
check but had been too busy to do so.
Mr. Johnson gave him the money.
Sunday morning, January 1st, it
will be recalled, was unusually cold
and stormy but the man made ar-
rangements to leave the Johnston-
baugh home to go to Howard and
meet “his men” on Monday morning.
He was wearing a light overcoat and
Mr. Johnstonbaugh suggested he take
his heavy coat, which he did.
The extreme cold weather of Mon-
day morning of last week had no de-
terrent effect on the men anxious for
work and thirty laborers gathered at
Howard to await the coming of the
contractor. Mr. McCoy sent down a
team of horses and a wagon, but Mr.
Stover failed to materialize. Out at
Axe Mann fourteen men awaited his
return to put them to work but Stov-
er had vanished as mysteriously as
he had appeared. Mr. Johnson is
still looking for his five dollars and
Mr. Johnstonbaugh is out six good
meals: and his heavy overcoat.
Manager Brown Entertains County
Medical Society and Others. at
The Hospital.
The County Medical Society met at
the Centre County hospital on
Wednesday morning for its regular
annual session.
A very unusual paper was read
by Dr. O. W. McIntyre, of Howard.
Its subject was “The Physician” and
he developed it largely along the line
of the ethics of the profession. Its
preparation showed great care and
sound diagnosis.
The regular business for the con-
clusion of the year was transacted
and the following officers chosen for
1928. 7 {
President, Dr. J. B. Foster, State
College; vice president, Dr. David
Dale, Bellefonte; secretary and treas-
urer, Dr. O. W. McIntyre, Howard.
At twelve o'clock Manager William
H. Brown entertained the physicians,
the newspaper men of the county,
Judge Fleming, Senator Harry B.
Scott, Burgess Hard P. Harris, the
Bellefonte dentists, the County Com-
missioners and members of the board
of trustees at a dinner served in the
hospital.
The object was to foster a more
intimate relationship between the
public and the institution. :
The work of remodeling is about
completed and the manager is anx-
ious to have people see and know
just how splendidly they are equipped
now and the good work they are do-
ing at the institution.
Putting Out Feed for Small Game
in Woodlands.
Game protector Thomas G. Mosier
has recently received a consignment
of five hundred bushels of corn, a big
supply of scratch feed and a quantity
of buckwheat and is now engaged in
distributing it in those sections of
Centre county woodlands where small
game is most plentiful as feed for
the birds during the remainder of the
winter season. :
While ordinarily, in an open win-
ter such as this has been so far, all
kinds of game would be abie to find
sufficient food to tide them over, but
it will be recalled that last year was
an unusually poor year for supplying
natural food for wild game. It was
because of this fact that birds, rab-
bits and squirrels were found in good-
ly numbers out in the open, they hav-
ing been driven to the fields and open
spaces for sufficient feed to maintain
them. And this is the main reason
why Mr. Mosier is now engaged in
putting out feed. Sportsmen's asso-
ciations throughout the county, and
hunters generally, might help along
in the good work by putting out feed
where small game is wintering.

Annual Stockholders Meeting of The
First National Bank of Bellefonte.
The annual meeting of the stock-
holders of the First National Bank,
of Bellefonte, was held in the banking
house on Tuesday, January 10th. No
changes were made in the officers or
in the board of directors. Charles
M. McCurdy was re-elected president;
W. Fred Reynolds, vice president;
James K. Barnhart, cashier; C. E.
Robb, assistant cashier, and Charles
McC. Scott, trust officer. The board
of directors consists of Charles M.
McCurdy, W. Fred Reynolds, James
C. Furst, David Dale, Thomas B.
Beaver, Henry S. Linn, C. C. Shuey,
L. Frank Mayes. Hon. James C. Furst
was made attorney for the bank and
secretary of the board of directors.
In speaking of local conditions dur-
ing the past year President McCurdy
said that, while the operations of
certain important local industries
were curtailed, the most important in-
dustry, the business of farming, was
not affected by general conditions
elsewhere. The stability of this basic
industry was proved by the large and
growing business of the bank.
In a year marked by a general re.
cession of trade, the bank closed the
year with an increase in its savings
department, notwithstanding large
withdrawals from special accounts.
During the past five years, a period
characterized by some as an era of
extravagance, savings departments
increased more than 50 per cent. The
surplus has grown from $177,000 to
$300,000, with a large increase in
total resources, while the earnings for
the past year are the largest in the
bank’s history. This is not an indica-
tion of reckless spending.
The growth of savings indicates the
possession of qualities that made for
material progress. From no other
sources can capital be had for new
enterprises; homes cannot be built,
properties improved or new develop-
ments projected without capital from
this source only. Therefore, people
who do not have savings accounts
retrograde. The movement is either
forward or backward.
With the bank’s large resources of
two and one-half million dollars, it
is always prepared to make proper
local loans for such uses as seem to
promise advantage to the community.
FARMERS NATIONAL BANK HOLDS
FIRST ANNUAL MEETING.
Thirty-eight of the seventy-nine
share holders of the Farmers’ Na-
tional bank gathered in rooms of the
company at 2 o’clock Tuesday after-
noon for the first meeting of the in-
stitution. It was an interested and
interesting gathering because the
personnel represented such varied
lines of touch with the business ac-
tivities of the community. President
Steely presided at the meeting and
addressed it at length, emphasizing
the remarkable progress that has
been made in the three months it has
been open for business.
All the temporary directors were
elected for the full term of a year
and at the conclusion of their meet-
ing the stock-holders were shown
through all departments.

The dead body of August Kella-

A search was instituted which re-
sulted in the finding of the body on
Sunday. As there were no evidences
of foul play it is believed he accident-
ally fell into the stream and drowned.
It is known that the man frequently
used a boat in crossing from one side
of the stream to the other, and he
may have fallen out of the boat on.
