All the business places and of-
fices were closed on Monday, Labor
day, and many people went motoring °
or spent the day with the Odd Fel-
lows, at Hecla park.
According to statistics just
completed the average yield of farm
crops in Centre county last year were:
Corn, 31.2 bushels per acre; wheat,
17.4 bushels; oats 36.1 bushels; po-
tatoes 97 bushels.
Several bids have been received
ed by the Bellefonte Central Railroad
company from contractors anxious fo
build the five miles of new road from
Struble station to Fairbrook, but the
contract has not yet been awarded.
Labor day was too much for
Bellefonte councilmen, as the only on2
‘who showed up for the regular meet-
ing on Monday evening was John
Mignot, of the South ward. The con-
sequence was there was no meeting.
——Just as George Sunday was in
the act of backing his car out into
the street from in front of Crider’s
Exchange, last Friday evening, Miss
“Verna Chambers came along in her car
and failing to see the Sunday car
struck it, tearing off one fender and
the bumper. Her car was also some-
what damaged.
Last Friday was the day for
‘the approval, by the federal court, of
the purchase of the Gamble mill prop-
erty by the borough. Although no
formal announcement of the approval
has been received in Bellefonte, it is
known that there were no objections
filed to the confirmation of the sale
and it’s a foregone conclusion that
the borough now owns the property.
Next week, 11th to 14th, the
Clearfield fair will be the attraction
in this section of the State. Always
a fine exhibition, the fair this year has
been planned to exceed any of its
former successes. Among the new
features to be untroduced are a State
and county school exhibit and a mag-
nificent pageant to be staged by the
John B. Rogers Producing Co., in
which four hundred people will ap-
pear.
—On Wednesday night of last
week county detective Leo Boden and
«chief of police A. E. Yougel, of State
College, raided the house on the
‘Thompson farm, on the road leading
from State College to Waddle, and
arrested Mrs. Lerie Gill for violation
of the Volstead law. A quantity of
liquid refreshment was confiscated. |
Mrs. Gill was held in one thousand '
dollars bail for trial at court and un-!
able to give bond was sent to the,
Centre county jail.
The Warner-American News,
for August, devotes considerable space :

— William Harold Richards, a
twenty-one year old youth, of Cur-
wensville, is now in the Centre county
jail awaiting trial at the next term of
court on the charge of forgery. Two
weeks or more ago Richards passed
a forged check in Philipsburg and
about the same time gave the Philips-
burg Ledger company a check with-
out funds in the bank to meet it. He
was arrested and at a hearing before
Squire Byron, in Philipsburg, was
held under twelve hundred dollars
bail. Being unable to give bond he
was brought to jail.
Bellefonters will be interested
in knowing that the new $125,000
«church which the Evangelical people
of Milton have just erected will te
dedicated on Sunday, September 9.
“While the formal dedicatory servicas
‘will occur Sunday evening, celebra-
Hon of the event will continue with
special services each following even-
ing for a week. This is the church
-thdt Rev. Reed O. Steely was trans-
Ferred to from Bellefonte to complete
the financing of. It is said to be a
very handsome edifice, interior Te-
sign of dignified simplicity, but equip-
ped for every need of modern church
work.
——Last Friday water commission-
@r J. D. Seibert opened up a service
‘pipe leading into a double house on
‘north Spring street and found a
good-sized leak. In fact there was a
“hole in the pipe as large as a lead
pencil. There was nothing on the sur-
face to indicate the leak as the water
had been flowing away along the pipe
on the street. For several years the
water department has been pumping
amore water than should be required to
serve a town the size of Bellefonte
and it might be possible that there
are many other underground leaks on
old service pipes throughout the
‘town, which would account, in part,
for the waste in water.

Billy Kerk Hurt in Automobile Ac-
cident Tuesday Afternoon.
Billy Kerk, eleven year old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Kerk, of Phila-
delphia, was painfully injured,
Tuesday afternoon, and his mother
and brother cut and bruised in an au-
to accident at the foot of Rishel’s hill,
on the road to Pleasant Gap. Mrs.
Kerk and two sons had come to Belle-
fonte to see her mother, Mrs. W. E.
Hurley, who is ill at her home on
Howard street.
With Mrs. Kerk driving the car
they started on the return trip to
Philadelphia shortly after one o’clock
on Tuesday afternoon. At the Risnel
hill Earl Kuykendall, driving one of
the Rich Bros. trucks, and coming in
from Pleasant Gap, attempted to cut
across ahead of the Kerk car onto the
Rishel hill road with the result that
the car and truck met in a head-on
collision right at the junction of the
roads.
Billy Kerk, sitting on the front seat
with his mother, was thrown head
first about half way through the
windshield of the car, sustaining a
bad cut on the left side of his head.
Mrs. Kerk and her other son sustain-
ed slight cuts and bruises but no ser-
ious injuries. Billy was rushed to the
Centre County hospital, as it was
feared he might have sustained a
fracture of the skull, but an X-ray
revealed the fact that the skull was
not injured and he will probably be
able to leave the hospital in a few
days.
Autoist Knocks Off Electric Light
Pole on Thomas St.
Shortly after eight o’clock on Sun-
day evening Edward Hull, of Buffalo
Run valley, drove head-on into an
electric light pole in front of the W.
H. Crissman home, on north Thomas
street, breaking off the pole and badly
wrecking his machine. Hull was
thrown through the windshield and
was taken to the Centre County hos-
pital but left that institution as soon
as a physician had looked him over
carefully and found no serious injur-
ies. But the breaking down of the
pole disrupted the electric service
through the western section of Belle-
fonte and necessitated calling out 2!-
most the entire force of West Penn
repairman. It was almost midnight
when they had things in shape to
turn on the service and then it wus
discovered that one broken wire had
been missed and it hung down in the
street spitting fire. Some of the cur-
rent had to be turned off a second
time while the live wire was spliced
and it was almost four o’clock Sun-
day morning when the crew complet-
ed their work.
Big Barn Struck by Lightning and
Burned.
While Joseph Williams and family
were at the Granger's picnic last
Thursday afternoon, the barn on
their farm, near Martha, was struck
by lightning and burned to the
ground. Four horses, six calves a
blooded bull, all the season’s erops
and a quantity of farm machinery
were burned. Mr. Williams had the
banner crop of wheat grown in Bald
Eagle valley this year and it was all
destroyed. His total loss is estimated
at $7,000, on which there was an in-
surance of $3,000.
The barn was struck about four
o'clock and by the time neighbors
reached the Williams home the build-
ing was so enveloped in flames that it
was impossible to save the stock or
anything else,
on!
MISS AMELIA EARHART
| STOPS IN BELLEFONTE.
Then Cracks Ship in Making a Land-
ing in Pittsburgh. Escapes
Injury.
‘Miss Amelia Earhart, the Boston
"social worker and the only woman in
the world to make a flight across the
Atlantic Ocean by airplane, spent an
hour at the Bellefonte aviation field,
last Friday afternoon, and not a doz-
en people were there to see her. This
; was wholly because her visit was 1n-
heralded and unannounced and very
few people knew she was here until
she had sailed away for Pittsburgh
where she narrowly escaped death
in landing on Rogers field when her
plane struck a rut, smashing the land-
ing gear, one wing and a propeller.
{ Fortunately neither she nor her com-
panion, George P. Putnam, the well
known New York publisher, were in-
jured.
The two people were traveling in
Miss Earhart’s ship, the Avian, manu-
factured in England by the Avero
Airplane company. It is the same
ship in which Lady Heath, of Eng-
land, flew from England to Africa and
back to England, and was then later
purchased by Miss Earhart. It is
little more than half as big ag the
planes used on the trans-continental
airmail route but contains a powerful
motor and carries two people with
ease.
Miss Earhart and Mr. Putnam came
to Bellefonte from Rye, N. Y., arriv-
ing at the Bellefonte field about 1:45.
They went at once to a nearby farm
house to get something to eat and
later had the gas tanks on their ships
refilled with gas. It was almost three
o’clock when they took to the air and
sailed away for Pittsburgh.
height and quite slender but gave the
appearance of being full of pep and
energy. She was dressed in a sposts
suit of white cloth, skirt and coat, and
the only thing in her attire that indi-
cated her traveling in the air was a
white cloth helmet over her head and a
pair of goggles. She wag in charge
of the ship and operated the controls.
When asked by a Watchman re-
porter as to the object of her trip she
pleasantly stated that it was merely
one of pleasure and recreation. For
several weeks both she and Mr. Put-
nam have been working overtime in
the publication of her forthcoming
book and having reached that point
where they could afford to relax she
suggested a little flight in her ship
and the only plans they had made
were to fly to Pittsburgh and back.
Her stay in Pittsburgh, however,
will probably depend on the length of
time it will take to secure repairs for
her ship.
Escaped Prisoner Recaptured Last
Week, at Carlisle.
George Windemaker, who escaped
from Rockview penitentiary on April
20th, 11927, was recaptured at Car-
lisle, last week, and was brought to
Bellefonte on Saturday evening and
placed in the Centre county jail to
await sentence.
Windemaker, who was only twenty
years old at the time of his escape,
was sent up from York county. At
the penitentiary he was employed as
a farm hand and on the day in ques-
i tion he made a getaway while at work
in one of the fields. Making his way
to the McFarlane farm, near Boais-
burg, he stole a car belonging to Mrs.
Leah Smith. The car was found the
following Sunday near Liverpool,
Dauphin county, where it had been
abandoned because of lack of gas.
That was the last trace of Windemak-
er until he was arrested in Carlisle
last week.
Contest at Grange Picnic.
A boys and girls live stock judg-
ing contest was conducted on Wed-
nesday of last week at the Grange en-
campment and fair, at Centre Hall.
There were 25 boys and girls from
Centre county competing in the con-
test. Two classes of live stock were
judged, one of Holstein cows and
one of Poland China hogs.
The winners of the contest were
decided by averaging the scores of
the two classes together. Money
prizes and ribbons were awarded to
the five who placed highest in the
contest, of which the following is the
list in order of their final placings.
John Wasson, State College 89.2%;
John A. Stover, Woodward,
Ralph Allbright, Pennsylvania Furn-
ace, 78.5%; Charles Tibbens, Belle-
fonté, 78.3%.
Private Sale of Kinne Effects,
The household goods of the late
Miss Emma Kinne of Milesburg are
to be sold at private sale at her late
home in that place. Beginning Mon-
day, Sept. 10. Each afternoon during
the week, there will be someone in the
house to show the things and quote
prices on them. Among the articles
to be disposed of are a few genuine
antiques. :
——September was ushered in with
real fall-like weather, thermometers
in Bellefonte being down to 42 above
zero. On Sunday morning it was four
degrees colder and only a heavy fog
and cloudy weather prevented a light
frost. Some rain fell on Sunday night
and warm weather again prevailed on
Monday.
