' DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL TICKET : FOR PRESIDENT ki E. SMITH, of New York ! FOR VICE PRESIDENT JOSEPH B. ROBINSON, of Arkansas. DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET. : For Congress T. E. COSTELLO, of Bradford For. Representative in General Assembly ANDREW CURTIN THOMPSON, of Philipsburg FOR PRESIDENT! i Gov. Alfred E. Smith pee Beidleman Addresses Local Kiwanis. What a gala night it was, that Ki- wanjs ladies night, at the Brocker- hoff: hotel, last Tuesday. Never in the history of the Club has a Kiwan- is program appealéd so ‘strongly to the finer tastes as this program pre- pared under the direction of the birth- day ‘babies of the months of June, July August, September and Octo- ber.! It was a progrom teeming with mirth, music and masterful eloquence. Just one hundred and thirty-nine en- thustastic men:and women assembled in the festive hall, beautifully decor- ated in the national colors and the orange and black so striking at Hal- low-een season. The famous Kiwan- ian orchestra of Altoona, twelve strong, furnished music that thrilled the hearts of all present. President W. Harrison Walker, as usual, prov- ed the inspiring leader that is needed to keep an excellent program moving along with spirit and interest. Many guests from Harrisburg, Altoona and other places graced the happy ocea- sion. with their presence. The at- tendance prizes for the ladies were awarded to Mrs. Karl Irvin, Altoona; Mrs. Kerlin, Centre Hall; Mrs. Bing- aman, Mrs. Cliffe and Mrs. Frank Murphy, all of Bellefonte. Robert Gable, of Altoona, a member of the orchestra, recently elected lieutenant governor of our district at the state convention at Uniontown, was intro- duced by president Walker. A brief but interesting reply was made by Mr. Gable. Mrs. Karl Irvin render- ed several beautiful vocal selections during the evening that simply em- tranced her hearers, the orchestra accompanying her in most inspiring fashion. She received a gift of ex- quisite pink roses from the Birthday committee. Judge M. Ward Fleming in a most graceful and complimentary address, introduced his good friend former Lieutenant Governor Edward S. Beid- elman, of Harrisburg, as the orator of the evening. He expressed his ap- preciation of the privilege that was his to address the Bellefonte Kiwan- is club and the guests. He advocat- ed hearty support of the $8,000,000 loan for State College. He assured his hearers that the politicians about Harrisburg held the State institution in very high esteem and announced that they had printed 25,000 sample ballots urging support for the loan. Vice president Bent Weaver, who brought the speaker to Bellefonte made a few pertinent remarks. A vote of thanks was extended to Ex. Lieutenant Gov. Beidleman, to Mrs. Irvin and to the splendid orchestra for making ladies night, of Oct. 29th one long to be remembered. The hap- py affair was concluded with the pledge of allegiance to the flag and the singing of the Star Spangled Ban- ner. ——Mrs. Fernie E.

Funeral services were held on Oec- tober 22nd, in the Buffalo Run Pres- byterian church, by Rev. Samuel Martin, burial being made in the Meyers cemetery. The Weather. More to get something of record in our files for reference in future years than to dissertate on the weather we want to devote a few lines to this fall. So far as we have been able to ob- serve last Saturday, Oct. 27, the first snow flakes were flying in this sec- tion. Up to the day before we had had the mildest kind of fall weather. Flowers had not been affected by the few slight frosts that had fallen and many who cultivate gardens were still picking lima beans, spinach, lettuce and tomatoes from them. It was in marked contrast with the fall of 1927 when a hard freeze in September killed all the flowers and garden vegetables so that when mild weather came in October everything was seared and brown. It might be interesting to know that ever since we wakened up to the fact that having a home of one’s own involves a lot of responsibilities that the average benedict hadn’t thought about, we have kept a record of the dates on which we have lighted and put out the fire in the household heat- ing plant. This fall has been the latest and the fall of 1923 the earliest that weather conditions have forced us to the cellar to stoke coal. ——LEleanor Jane McKinley, three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. | for Amendment No. 2.” George McKinley, of Milesburg, is a | patient in tha Centre County hospi- | tal with both legs broken and num- erous bruises and contusions as the result of being hit with an automobile driven by F.

Though : the net returns in dollars ' and cents were not quite as much as they should have been the Hallow- een carnival held under the auspices: of the Civic club of Pleasant Gap, last Thursday and Friday nights, was a distinct success from every other an- gle. The deft hands of the ladies of the club had converted Jodon’s sale barn into a veritable indoor show place and crowds thronged through it so thick that there was scarcely elbow room anywhere. Paddle wheels, fish ponds, “beano,” and dodging cats were the there was cider and doughnuts where | winners might celebrate and the ! losers drown their sorrows. Fortune tellers conjured up wonderful “pipe dreams” for their patrons and a lunch! room was there to supply foods so! good that all the dreams seemed | starting to come true before one” could even get away from the place. | Thursday night Wetzler’s Junior of Lock band was the musical feature. Fri- Rey, Kulp, Miss Miriam Beck, sec- day night there was the fantastic | retary of the county organization; S. parade and contest for the many’ prizes offered. There were about | three hundred people in costume, | some of them notably good. The carnival yielded something over three hundred dollars in re-: ceipts, but since the expenses must ' have been large it is probable that the J net result for the school play ground | will not be commensurate with the | work the members of the Civic club. must have done to carry out their! very pretentious undertaking. ! Milesburg had a great fantastic Monday night. Hundreds were in line and the streets over which the mummers marched were thronged with thrilled watchers. Wednesday night the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. held its Hallow-een party and from the size of the crowd pres- ent most of those who w~ve at Pleas- ant Gap and Miiesburg must have joined the Bellefonte fantastics. The Y was packed with a grotesque, hap- py throng. Young and old joined In the revelry together. Those in mask had to enter the building through the coal hole on the street and were then taken through “spook-land” and thence the gymnasium floor where the judging was done and cider, dough- nuts and apples were served. Exploding Coal Stove Starts Fire Which Destroys Building. Just about twelve o’clock on Mon- day night residents on east Bishop street were aroused from their slumbers by a terrific explosion and shortly thereafter fire was discovered in a small frame building owned by L. A. Hill, which street, just north of his garage build- ing, and which was occupied by Jo- seph J. Hemmis as a motorcycle re- The explosion was occasioned by an accumulation of coal gas in a stove used to heat the building. Mr. Hem- mis had worked during the early part of the night and because of the cool weather had a good fire in the stove. When he left for the night he bank- ed it quite heavily and the accumula- tion of gas wrecked the stove and threw live coals all over the room. In less than a minute the entire in- terior was ablaze and by the time the firemen arrived on the scene the building was practically burned down. A motor truck belonging to Philip Shoemaker was parked between the building and Hill's garage and it, al- so burned. While the fire was of short duration it was so hot that it | melted the glass in the windows of the garage building, but the garage itself, being practically of fireproof construction, was not in much danger. The building burned belonged to L. A. Hill, and was insured for $300, though that will not cover the loss. | Mr. Hill also had about $150 worth. of stuff stored in the building which was destroyed and on which there was no insurance. Mr. Hemmis had sev- eral hundred dollar’s worth of tools in the building, all of which were ruined, but whether he carried insur- ance or not could not be learned. Shortly before eleven o’clock, on Sunday morning, the fire department was called out by an alarm from the Bellefonte Academy. The fire proved to be in one of the partitions in the north end of the building but the blaze was small and was quickly ex- tinguished with chemicals. How it or- iginated is a mystery. Baileyville Sportsmen Endorse Col- lege Loan. The Sportsmen’s League of Bailey- ville, G. W. Rossman, president, last Friday formally adopted the follow- ing resolution. “Resolved, that the Sportsm-n’s League of Baileyville (Centre and Huntingdon counties) heartily indorse the proposed $8,000,- 000 loan amendment for State Col- lege, and also ask all other sports- men’s league clubs in Pennsylvania to do everything in their power toward the success of this splendid project.

Philipsburg, Friday. - The 32nd annual convention of the Centre county Christian Endeavor | Union was held in the Baptist church, ! Philipsburg, last Friday afternoon and | evening, J. R. Irvin, of Boalsburg, | president of the association, presid- | ing. Devotional exercises were in| charge of Rev. Walter E. Brown, of | Philipsburg, while the first address was made by Rev. J. F. Harkins, of State College, who spoke principally on the good work being accomplished by the workers in the Union. On motion Rev. Harkins, Miss Mir- iam Beck, of Nittany; Miss Gladys Adams and Rev. C. F. Kulp, of Philipsburg, were appointed a com- mittee on nomination of officers for the ensuing year. Warren G. Hoopes, of West Grove, then led a conference on * Christian Endeavor plans and work for the future. At six o'clock the ladies of the Baptist church served a banquet to all visitors in Fellowship hall. Speak- ers at the banquet were Rev. Learish, | Z. Miller, Rev. Ralph Illingworth, Dr. | W. R. Heaton, Harry Reiling and Miss | Gladys Summers. | At the evening session the banner | award for the largest number of delegates present from an out-of-town Society was presented to Boalsburg. that they had been unable to make a selection of officers and superintend- ents of departments for the ensuing year and suggested that a meeting be recommendations will be made. The approved and a meeting will probably be held in the Lutheran church, at State College, on November 26th. The closing address was made by W. G. Hoopes. Penn State and Syracuse Played a Tie Game Saturday. The Penn State football team dis- played unusual fighting spirit and generalship, on Saturday, in its game with Syracuse on Beaver. field, the score being 6 to 6. But this does not convey the relative merits of the two teams, by any means. Outweighed from ten to fifteen pounds to the man State played by far the better game and only a series of hard luck breaks kept them from scoring on sev- eral other occasions. Four times they had the ball almost within armslength of the Syraucse goal but failed in getting it over. After Syra- cuse scored its touchdown early in the ' game it never again threatened the | State goal line, but was on the de-: fensive most of the time. While French, at quarterback, was the par- ticular star of Penn State, every mem- ber of the team did splendid work. | The Bellefonte High school lost to Tyrone by the score of 6 to 0, the only Score having been made the final min- | ute of play. Montgomery was giv- en the ball and attempted a line plunge but was downed before he made headway. About a dozen play- ers were piled up in a bunch. It had been raining and the ball was wet and slippery and before the referee could blow his whistle the ball shot up out’ of the huddled players like a cork out of a champagne bottle. A Tyrone player grabbed it and with an open field ran, unchecked, across Belle- fonte’s line just as the whistle blew for the end of the game. The touch- down, however, was allowed. 1 ! Three Plead Guilty at Special Session ° { of Court. | A special session of court was | held, on Tuesday morning, at which the four men recently arrested in Rush township on the charge of vio- | lating the Volstead law were brought before Judge Fleming for disposition of the charges against them. The first: man up was John Pol- itchko, charged ' with manufacturing moonshine liquor. He plead guilty and was sentenced to pay a fine of $200 and serve four months in the! county jail. ~ Clair Hudson, also charged with manufacturing and possession, was sentenced to pay a fine of one dollar’ and imprisonment in the Allegheny county workhouse for four months. Max Russell was the next man called. He was charged with posses- gion but refused to plead guilty and was remanded to jail for trial at the December term of court. Luke Russell, who has been oper- ating a sort of night club along the railroad in Rush township, was also charged with possession. In expla- nation he told the court that men came to his place and brought their own bottles and when empty they threw the bottles out into the yard. He gathered them up and had traded the empty bottles on a half gallon of moonshine which he had under the counter when his place was raided. He denied having sold any liquor at any time. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and spend three months in the county jail. Educational Church Conference Held at Huntingdon. One of a series of educational con- ferences to be held in the churches in the Huntingdon Presbytery was held at Huntingdon on Wednesday of last week. Representatives from Centre county included Rev. and Mrs. J. Max Kirkpatrick and Miss Martha Boal, of Centre Hall, and Warren Bailey, of Pine Grove Mills. The principal speaker was Dr. Honline, of Pasadena, Cal. Meetings were also held at Alexandria on Thursday and Centre County’s Opportunity To Be Well Represented. If the people of our county desire a clean cut, energetic and cap- able representative in the General Assembly, they have found that man in the person of Andrew Curtin Thompson. Born and raised in this county on a farm in Half Moon valley, he is an outstanding example of high grade of representative citizen upon which we pride ourselves. Farm, schoolhouse and business establishment have all aided in giving him the experience and breadth of view so necessary to represent use in the Legislature Halls. Mr. Thompson’s home town newspaper under date of October 23rd, speaks of him as follows, “Philipsburg, during the last thirty years, has had no better citizen than Mr. Thompson. He has always been identified with every progressive movement and has been in the fore- front in every effort put forth to benefit our community. Active, ener- getic and capable in every effort he put forth, his services have always been valuable. For the past several years Mr. Thompson has been sup- erintendent of the Methodist Sabbath School here and his work there has endeared him to every member of that organization. His pleasant, honest and sincere characteristics give Mr. Thompson a most attractive personality.” Is there any reason why a man of Mr. Thompson’s high personal qualifications should not represent Centre County? Let us all do our part in sending to Harrisburg a man of whom we can be proud and vote for ANDREW CURTIN THOMPSON X ——An individual communion serv- ice has been presented to St. John’s Episcopal church by Mrs. Richard, in memory of her husband, the late E.
