80 CENTS FOR WHEAT
IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 12—“Eigh-
ty cents for wheat; let’s vote for a
change, folks,” is the keynote of the
latest attack on the Republican na-
tional ticket by Will A. Wells, editor
of the Webster, S. D., Journal, a Re-
publican newspaper which has bolted
Hoover and is supporting Smith. In
its edition of September 1, it says:
“A careful reading of Herbert Hoo-
ver’s farm relief promises, delivered
at Palo Alto and West Branch, leaves
one in a maze of conjecture. Cer-
tainly he has no plan to help the
farmer. He uses many soft words—
but soft words will butter no parsnips
in the agricultural belt. Hoover
swallows with great pleasure the mis-
deeds of the past seven and a half
years of the Harding and Coolidge
Administrations.
“Hoover dismisses with a few care-
less phrases the rotten oil scandal,
the sale of postoffices in the South,
the bribery of his fellow Cabinet
member, the suicides, the drunkenness
and gambling and worse in the little
green house on K street! His refer-
ence to all this official rottenness will
cause no trembling of knees among
rascals who continue to enjoy the
emoluments of office.
“In fact, from soup to nuts, Hoo-
ver’s promises might well be taken
for Coolidge’s promises four years
ago. Coolidge promised to make all
the people soft with luxury if elected.
Hoover promises to make all the peo-
ple luxurious with soft living. Six
of one and half dozen of the other.
“Soft soap. Bunk. Boloney.
“Wheat in Webster brought 80
cents a bushel yesterday.
“Eighty cents!
“That’s a sample of Coolidge pros-
perity and what South Dakota farm-
ers may expect for the next four
years, if Hoover is elected.
“And yet Hoover says that what
agriculture needs is a higher tariff.
If the tariff was $5 a bushel it
wouldn't affect the price of wheat, so
long as we export a part of the crop.
There is now 42 cents per bushel tar-
iff on wheat. It doesn’t operate.
“Upon two different occasions Con-
gress passed a farm relief bill to
make this 42 cent tariff effective, and
twice Coolidge vetoed the bill. Hoo-
ver agreed with Coolidge. In fact,
it has been charged in the daily pa-
pers that Hoover wrote the last veto
message and the charge has never
been denied. But Hoover has said
many times he will carry out the
Coolidge policies if elected.
“The Coolidge vetoes have cost
South Dakota farmers many million
dollars, $150,000,000 at least, in 1927
and 1928.
“Eighty cents for wheat!
“Let’s vote for a change, folks!”
State’s Foot Ball Squad Starts Fail
Grind.
A squad of 35 players reported to
the Penn State coaches for the first
practice held September 1. While
this number has increased slightly
during the past week as the later ar-
rivals came into camp it is probable
that the squad for the rest of the
training period will number about 40
men. On the first day’s roster there
were only five lettermen from last
year, the rest being substitutes from
the 1927 squad and about 20 Sopho-
mores.
While the record of the Nittany
Lions of 1928 is problematical the
outlook at this stage of the season is
promising. The veterans of last
year’s squad looked to be in excellent
physical condition on the first day
while the new material from last
year’s freshman squad is the best that
Penn State has had in five years.
Several of the new men have been
in the “first team” lineup in the early
practices. No significance has been
attached to the makeup of the various
squads but it is evident that Coach
Bezdek and his assistants are count-
ing on new men as prospects for the
positions left vacant by the gradua-
tion of four regulars.
The first few days were spent in
limbering up exercises supplemented
by squad drills of groups of elevens
both morning and afternoon. Prac-
tice will not reach the regular scrin-
mage stage until this week. After
registration day next Monday there
will be only one practice a day, fol-
lowing the last class hour of the af-
ternoon.
Among the new men who have been
showing up well in the early season
practice are Edwards, Best, Braddock,
Zorella, Shawley, Kosempa, Kaplan,
and Duvall of the linemen. New
faces in regular positions in the back-
fields are Diedrich, French, Evans,
McCracken, Collins, Hensel, and Liv-
zey.
One change in the coaching staff
was announced in the early practice
days. Squeek Hufford, an assistant
line coach last season resigned to
coach the Northumberland High
school team. Red Darragh, a veteran
of the squad for the last two seasons,
was engaged as a student assistant.
Dormitory Room at State College
Lacking for Ceo-eds.
Only forty of the 165 girls to en-
ter the Freshman class at the Penn-
sylvania State College this week can
be housed in campus dormitories for
women students, was announced on
Tuesday by Miss Charlotte E. Ray,
dean of women. The remaining 125
are to be housed in approved lodging
houses in the town of State College,
only a short distance from the campus
It is expected that his condiion will
be only temporary for this year, be-
cause the Pennsylvania State Grange
memorial dormitory for women is to
be started shortly and will be ready
for occupancy within a year. The
number of women at Penn State is
17 per cent. of the number of men.
Last year there were 586 women and
3421 men.
Longing for Old Nittany Valley.
The following letter from our old
friend and valued contributor to the
| Watchman, Will Truckenmiller, of
| Blackfalds, Alberta, Canada, has the
i ring of home sickness in it. He writes:
Dear Watchman:
| I have had a number of letters late-
ily from friends in the dear old valley,
| where I was born and they all say the
. wheat crop is poor. I am sorry for
| that and wish they all had a crop like
mine is this year. It is good for forty
; bushels to the acre and is standing up
| stiff and strong. It is the new spring
wheat, “Garnet,” and is wonderful in
quality as well as extremely early.
Our gardens are poor this year,
however, as it was too dry and hot in
May and too wet and cold in June.
The latter was the wettest I have
ever known here; having had thirteen
inches of rain-fall. The yearly aver-
age is only fifteen inches.
There is a great boom now in the
Peace river country, some four hun-
dred miles north of here and settlers
are going in by thousands. If I were
twenty years younger I would go and,
at least, have a good look at it and
possibly take a crack at some of its
game.
But no further north for me. I am
going back to the good old U. S. A.
and stay there. My people are all
there, the good old friends and the
glorious Stars and Stripes.
Not being a citizen “of Canada I
am going back where I can vote, back
to “the Old Home Town.”

IN BELLEFONTE .
SIXTY-THREE YEAS AGO.
From a copy of the Watchman,
dated January 6, 1865, we glean the
following facts that might prove in-
teresting. .to some of our older read-
ers:
The Institute of the school teachers
of the county that was held at How-
ard that week.
The editor of the paper was away
on a visit and apologized for “the
lack of original matter in the edition.
Four hundred and sixty-three negro
babies in the Cumberland camp at
Nowak, Va., had been named Abra-
am.
Richard Conley was sheriff of the
county and J. P. Gephart was regis-
ter.
Wheat was selling at $2.40 a bush-
el; potatoes 50 cts.; bacon 25 cts. and
butter 40 cts.
Haupt & Co., removed their foun-
dry and machine shops to Milesburg.
Hoffer Bros., were running a gen-
eral store in the “Iron Trout,” which
was a building that stood where that
of the City Cash Grocery is now io-
cated.
Mathais Schmuck was running a
bakery in the “Temperance” hotel on
Bishop street.
Everybody must have had dyspesia,
rheumatism or army ague, for there
are six columns of advertisements of
cures for such afflictions in the paper.
A. Sussman had just returned from
New York with “a fine line of cassi-
meres, tickings, salt fish and sole
leather” for his store.
McAlister and Beaver, J. D. Shug-
ert, H. Y. Stitzer, W. H. Larimer,
Orvis and Alexander, A. O. Furst and
Adam Hoy were practicing law in
town.
Abraham Baum and Co., and Neff
and Ettele were in the wholesale li-
quor business on Bishop street and
wines and liquors were advertised for
sale at prices ranging from 75 cents
to $8 a gallon.
Henry P. Harris, father of our
Burgess, was conducting a furniture
store on the worth side of the Dia-
mond.
There was “great excitement in
Milesburg” because Lyons and Loeb
had just received a new stock for
their store in that place.
J. H. Morrison was running the
hotel now known as “Ye Olde Tavern”
in Hublersburg. Daniel Garman was
proprietor of the Garman house. R.
D., “Bob” Cummings was running the
Cummngs house, later the Haag ho-
tel on Bishop street, and offering all
patrons a free ride in his new bus.
J. B. Butts was the proprietor of
the Conrad house which stood where
Temple Court now stands and we note
that the advertisement announces it
to have located on “Main st.” So
Allegheny must have been called
Main in those days.
Neither the Bush nor the Brocker-
poit houses had been built at that
ime.
Pm
—“Mother,” said little Evelyn,
“may I go out and play with the oth-
er children now?”
“You may play with the girls, but
not with the boys, for they are too
rough.”
“But mother, if I find a nice, smooth
boy can I play with him?”
