Cheaper Postal Rates Will Become
Effective July 1st.
Reduced postal rates will go into
effect, July 1st, under an act passed
at the recent session of Congress and
approved by President Coolidge.
The rate on postcards will be one
cent, instead of two. Reply postal
cards will remain at two cents.
For mailing of newspapers by per-
sons other than the publisher or news
agent, the rate will be one cent for
each two ounces up to eight ounces,
instead of two cents for each two
ounces or fraction thereof.
Important changes in indemnity
registration rates will also go into ef-
fect. Heretofore it has been impossi-
ble to insure a package valued at
more than $100, but under the new
law the valuation has been increased
to $1000. The rates will be as fol-
lows: On packages valued at not more
than $50, 15 cents, not including post-
age; between $50 and $100, 20 cents;
between $100 and $200, 30 cents; $200
to $300, 40 cents; $300 to $400, 50
cents; $400 to $500, 60 cents; $500
to $600, 70 cents; $600 to $700, 89
cents; $700 to $800, 90 cents; $800 to
$1000, $1. :
Other reductions have been made
in the special delivery of mail, on
parcel post, etc., which will no doubt
meet with the approval of the pub-
lic.
Wilbur H. Baney Bought the Nittany
Shoe Store.
At a meeting of the creditors of the
bankrupt estate of D. B. Fowler, held
in the office of referee Champion, in
Williamsport, on Monday morning,
Wilbur H. Baney bought the Nittany
shoe store, in the Bush Arcade, Belle-
fonte. ;
The store was closed about six
weeks ago on an execution placed in
the hands of sheriff Harry E. Dun-
lap. But before the date of the sale
D. B. Fowler, of Williamsport, the
owner, confessed to voluntary bank-
ruptcy and that put an end to the
sheriff’s sale.
Mr. Baney was the only bidder for
the store at the meeting of the credi-
tors, on Monday morning, and as his
bid exceeded the appraisement made
recently it was accepted. He opened
the store Tuesday morning and will
conduct it under his own manage-
ment.
Having worked in a shoe store from
boyhood up he has had years of ex-
perience catering to the wants of the
people of Bellefonte and vicinity, and
under his own management will be
able to confine his stock to staple lines
instead of being compelled to handle
shoes that would not sell in Belle-
fonte.

Former State Student Pays Hotel Bill
Twenty-one Years Old.
Back in 1907 three State College
students found themselves marooned
in Bellefonte, at a late hour one night,
with no way of getting to the College
and not a cent in their pockets. H.
S. Ray was landlord of the Brocker-
heff house at that time, and watching
their chance the three boys slipped
into the hotel, got upstairs and hunt-
ing an unoccupied room went in,
locked the door and slept soundly un-
til early morning when they got out nf
the hotel and made their way back
to State College.
During the recent commencement,
a well-dressed, fine-appearing man
stopped at the hotel over night and
when he left in the morning he told
the above story to landlord M. A.
Landsy, ending up with the fact that
he was one of the three students and
wanted to pay the bill for the room.
He said that his conscience had al-
ways troubled him about that unpaid
bill of twenty-one years. Mr. Landsy
accepted the money and turned it ov-
er to the children of Mr. Ray.
The man, by the way, graduated at
State College in 1909 as an electrical
engineer and now: has a sp.endid po-
sition at Bradford, Pa.

HARPSTER.—William P. Harp-
ster, a native of Centre county and
a veteran of the Civil war, died at
his home in-Houtzdale, last Friday af-
ternoon, as the result of general de-
bility.
He was a son of John and Leah
Sellers Harpster and was born in
Halfmoon township, Centre county,
in 1839, hence was about eighty-nine
years old. His early life was spent
in the vicinity of Stormstown. When
the Civil war broke out he enlisted as
a private in the 148th regiment, com-
manded by Gen. James A. Beaver,
and early in 1863 was made chief
musician of the regiment, serving in
that capacity until the close of the
war. He was given an honorable dis-
charge at Harrisburg on June 7th,
1865. In the history of the 148th
regiment compiled some years ago, is
a very interesting chapter dealing
with the musicians of that organiza-
tion, contributed by Mr. Harpster.
Shortly after his return from the
war he located in Philipsburg where
he lived a few years then moved to
Houtzdale. In his early life he
taught school and also conducted the
old-time singing schools in the coun-
try districts. At Houtzdale he filled
one term as postmaster, served as
tax collector and a justice of the
peace in that borough. He was an
enthusiastic G. A. R. man and was a
member of the Centre County Veter-
an’s club,
He married Miss Mary Goldman, of
Philipsburg, who died in 1912, but
surviving him are two daughters, Mrs.
Edward Hall, of Houtzdale, and Miss
Ida Harpster, at home. The funeral
was held on Monday afternoon, burial
being made at Houtzdale.

HILL.—The remains of Mrs. Myr-
tle Johnson Hill, wife of Dr. Anson
Hill, who died at her home in Cleve-
land, Ohio, on Sunday morning, were
brought to Bellefonte on the '1.20
train, Tuesday afternoon, and taken
directly to St. John’s Episcopal
church, where funeral services were
held by Rev. Stewart Franklin Gast.
The body was then taken to Zion for
interment in the cemetery at that
place. :
Mrs. Hill was a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Johnson and was
born in Pittsburgh forty-two years
ago. Her father is a cousin of M. R.
and Curtis Johnson, of Bellefonte,
while Mrs. William Boyer, of Belle-
fonte, is a sister. Mrs. Hill's early
life was mostly spent in Pittsburgh,
and she was a graduate nurse of the
Allegheny General hospital. After
graduating she spent six’ years in
California but since her marriage to
Dr. Hill had lived in Cleveland. Her
husband, parents and four sisters sur-
vive.

State College will have a demon-
stration, Snow Shoe is preparing for
a big time, and Osceola Mills is go-

Bellefonters should, and doubtless
will, patronize the Logans. The fire.
men have arranged as one of their
attractions a ball game for the after-
noon between Centre Hall and a
picked nine of Bellefonte players.
While the exact lineup for Bellefonte
is not yet known assurance is given
that a good team will make its appear-
ance on the grounds, and as Centre
Hall has one of the best teams in
Pennsvalley, the game should be
worth watching.

The Union Chapel Needs Help.
Whereas, about twenty-eight years
ago the Union chapel at Pleasant
View, commonly called “Red Roost,”
was erected largely through the co-
operation of such men as Gen. James

Coy, Emanuel Noll and Emanuel Kor-
man, for the use of the people of
Pleasant View, in which to hold their
Sunday school and other religious ex-
ercises, and

Child Drowned Near Boalsburg.
Carl Ferguson, two and a half year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Fer-
guson, who live in one of the Col. :
Theodore Davis Boal properties, about
midway between Boalsburg and Oak
Hall, fell into a small stream which |
runs through the rear portion of the
grounds surrounding the house, at
noon, on Sunday, and was drowned. |
Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson were not at
home at the time of the accident and
the boy and a younger child were in
charge of their grandmother. The
children were out in the back yard
playing and it is supposed the boy
wandered too close to the stream and
fell in. When the grandmother
missed the child neighbors were noti-
fied and a search was instituted which
resulted in the finding of the body
some distance down stream, near a
swimming pool constructed on the
creck,
The father is a mechanic employed
on the construction of the new gym- |
nasium, at State College. The re-
mains were taken to Fort Wayne,
Ind., on Tuesday, for interment.

i —On Sunday afternoon Mr. an d
Mrs. Glenn Johnston, accompanied by
two friends from Lock Haven, took an
automobile trip by way of Snow Shoe
to Philipsburg, then across the moun-
tain on the Port Matilda road. Be-
tween the foot of the mountain and
Port Matilda D. S. Woodring under-
took to pass the Johnston car in front
of another car going toward. the
mountain and to avoid a head-on col-
i lision ran into the Johnston car, tear-
ing off the left front wheel and dam-
aging the left front fender. The im-
pact threw Mr. Woodring’s car across
the road against a telephone pole.
Fortunately nobody in either of the
cars was injured. The Johnston car
is a LaSalle with wire wheels and it
will require a new wheel and new fen-
der. The Woodring car was also con-
siderably damaged. Mr. Woodring as-
sumed all the blame for the accident.
Mr. Johnston was brought to Belle-
fonte by a passing motorist and se-
curing another car, a temporary
wheel, ete., went up to Port Matilda
and brought his car to Bellefonte.

has been observed by most dealers,

punctilious. Unfortunately there is
no borough ordinance governing the
sale or use of fireworks and the bur.
gess cannot enforce his request this
year. But because of the fact that it
is not being observed generally has
sort of stirred up the burgess and he
has set his mind on having an ordi-
nance passed before another Fourth

in it that will give the burgess and

Editor, Democratic Watchman,

Dear Sir:
My attention has recently been
called to a few paragraphs in your
publication of June 15, 1928 under the
caption of “A Centre Hall Sandwich.”
8 rotten piece of journalism, we
are asked to believe, is a reprint from
the Harrisburg Telegraph.
I have been advised that this ar-
ticle appeared in the Harrisburg
sheet,—not as an unjustifiable knock
against our fair town, but to “wise
up” dry throats in and about Amity
Hall and Dauphin,
This, however, does not explain
why the Democratic Watchman
should feel justified in permitting a
reprint of this extremely silly mess in
its columns.
You, Mr. Editor, your publication
and your town can live without Cen-
A “help a heap.” If
you will keep your eyes open you will
find Centre Hall supports your mer-
chants most handsomely, your movie
houses, your hospital, your service
club, your lodges and clubs,—all bene-
fit by the little town at the foot of
Old Nittany and we invite you over
to a taste of chicken sandwich, and
while you are paying the least you
ever paid for the biggest, fattest
chicken sandwich made within a ra-
dius of ten miles, just tell the pro-
prietor of the restaurant who you are
and how sorry you are that that nasty
article appeared in your paper re-
cently, without your knowledge or
consent. No telling, he may believe
you and it would give an opportunity
to right yourself in the minds of
some five hundred good people in this
community,
