——Bellefonte and Centre county
people got a surprise, on Monday
morning, in the first snowfall of the

track a rabbit and cause wet and
slushy pavements most of the day.
Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Haler,
of Bellevue, Pa., are receiving con-

One hundred and twenty-five
guests including members of Coun-
stans Commandery and their wives,
from all over the county, were at the
card party held in the masonic tem-
ple, Tuesday evening. It being the
first of a series of social functions
the commandery anticipates giving

A rumor that some very sus-
picious circumstances were connected
with the fire which destroyed fhe
Mitterling barn, at Centre Hall, and
31 head of stock, Wednesday night
of last week, has been contradicted
by people in position to know. The
origin of the fire will probably re-
main an unsolved mystery.
The Bellefonte High school
football team will play Lewistown
High, at Lewistown, tomorrow. This
will be another conference game and
if the local lads display the same
fighting spirit they did on Monday
they should win the game, It is quite
likely that a fair crowd of rooters will
accompany the team to Lewistown.
During the last year the State
purchased 13,818 acres of wild land
in Centre county for which it paid
$40,464.00. On this land the State

cents per acre for road purposes to the

addition a tax of one cent an acre will
be paid to the county.

This explanation is made in justice
to the people of West Harris, who
have always stood up for the College.

MR. MURPHY TALKS GAS
TO LOCAL KIWANIANS.
Explains in Detail How the Real Ar-
ticle will be Manufactured at
New Gas Plant.
Members of the Bellefonte Kiwanis
club know more about gas now, the
real article, than they ever did before
owing to the very illuminating talk
Frank Murphy, construction engineer
for the Central Pennsylvania Gas
Company made at the Tuesday
luncheon. After telling what had
been done in the way of construction
work in the past four months, Mr.
Murphy demonstrated on a large map
the entire process of the manufacture
of gas as it will be made at the com-
pany’s new plant near Axe Mann.
The gas that will be made there is
a mixture of water and oil gas and
has a high rating in b. t. u. units.
In fact it is second only to natural
gas. The new plant has been con-
structed throughout in duplicate, so
that there will never be any danger
of a lack of gas. And it has been
built with an ample capacity to meet
all demands. Up to the present over
nine hundred service lines have been
extended into homes and business
places, and if all of them use gas it
will not be necessary to operate the
retort over two or three hours a day
to manufacture all the gas needed.
Guests at the Kiwanis luncheon in-
cluded Mr. Murphy, Mr, Mahnkin, P.
J. Lynch, Raymond Murphy an®
Graham Hunter, all officially connect-
ed with the Gas company; sheriff
Harry E. Dunlap and R. R. Welch,
of the dairy extension department,
State College.
Kiwanian Hughes called attention
to the football game on Saturday and
the club voted to give it loyal sup-
port.
Kiwanian Bush reported good prog-
ress in the arrangements for the
celebration of the tenth anniversary
of the establishment of the airmail.
To date over two hundred letters have
been received in Bellefonte from var-
ious points in the United States for
mailing here that day. Mr. Bush is
anxious to have everybody use the
specially prepared stationery in send-
ing out letters that day.
C. E. Williams reported that the
masquerade at the Y. M. C. A. was a
big success. At least twelve hun-
dred people were in attendance, eight
hundred of whom were in costume.
Everybody proclaimed the gathering
a complete success.
ARMISTICE DAY
IN BELLEFONTE.
While Sunday was the tenth anni-
versary of Armistice day the event
was not celebrated in Bellefonte until
Monday, and the snow and rain and
bleakness of the day must have re-
called most vividly to the minds of all
who were over there of that other
day ten years ago when the last gun
was fired and the sudden stillness
along hundreds of miles of contend-
ing armies, from the Argonne to
Flanders fields, was suddenly broken
by the resounding cheers of the over-
wrought soldiers on both sides. 1t
was a scene that will never be for-
gotten by the millions of men who
were in line at that time.
And the pity of it was that those
who had given their lives for world
peace could not have been present to
witness the full fruition of their su-
preme sacrifice. And it is for those
who gave their all that the living con-
tinue to carry on and every year pay
homage to the illustrious dead on the
anniversary of the signing of the
Armistice.
In Bellefonte the Brooks—Doll post
of the American Legion were in
charge and the services were held in
the Diamond at the zero hour, eleven
o'clock. Notwithstanding the slushy
pavements and inclement weather
several hundred people gathered in
the public square and stood with un-
covered heads for one minute. Col.
H. S. Taylor was the speaker of the
day and his message to the Legion
boys was inspiring and full of prom-
ise of the good they are sure to ac-
complish in years to come. At the
close of the Colonel’s address mem-
bers of the Legion, headed by their
drum corps, paraded through the
principal streets of the town.
in the afternoon the drum corps
led a parade of the High school stu-
dents to Hughes field for the football
game, and at 6:30 o'clock the Legion
had their annual banquet in the ar-
mory. John G. Love presided as
toastmaster and brief talks were
made by quite a number of invited
guests. Later a Legion dance was
held at the Nittany Country club.
Tuberculosis Seal Sale to Open On
November 30th.
The tuberculosis seal sale will open
this year on Friday, November 30th.
Mrs. Charles R. Kurtz will have
charge of the sale in Bellefonte and
will have an efficient corps of assist.
ants. She is naturally anxious to
dispose of all the seals possible and
requests business men and individuals
to make their purchases early.
——A benefit card party for the
Centre County hospital, will be giv-
en by the auxiliary, Tuesday evening
of next week, at St. John’s parish
house. Playing will begin at 8 o'clock,
admission fifty cents. As the number
of tables will be limited it is neces-
. sary for those expecting to be there,
to procure a place, by buying their
tickets early.
—If it is news you are looking for
take the Watchman.
Annual Meeting of the Agricultural
Extension Association.
The annual meeting of the Centre
county Agricultural Extension Asso-
ciation will be held in Bellefonte on
Saturday, November 24th. As has
been the custom in past years three
sessions will be held. The first, a
combined meeting for men and wo-
men, will be held in the court house
at 10 o'clock and will be pre-
sided over by J. Foster Musser, presi-
dent of the association. At that time
officers will be elected for the ensuing
year, accounts will be audited and all
general business of the association
transacted.
One of the features of the meeting
will be the detailed reports of work
done in the county during 1928 by
Miss Mary Reynolds, home economics
extensicn representative, and R. C.
Blaney, county agricultural agent.
At 12:30 the meeting will adjourn
to the Y. M. C. A. where the Woman's
Auxiliary will serve dinner, as they
did last year, at 50 cents per plate.
Cecil Walker, of Bellefonte, will have
‘charge of the musical program during
the dinner and there will also be a
short talk. Tickets can be secured
from any member of the executive
committee and the committee in
charge urges all who expect to at-
tend to buy their tickets early so they
will know the number of plates to ar-
range for.
In the afternoon two sessions will
be held in the court house, one for
the ladies and one for men. The la-
dies will be addressed by a repre-
sentative of the home economics de-
partment, of State College, on the
furnishings for a child’s room. The
men will hear a talk by Dr. E. L.
Nixon, of State College, on “Potatoes
for Centre County.” While this talk
will be primarily on potatoes it will
embody a lot of interest for every
Centre county farmer and all who can
should arrange to hear it.
Any further information in connec-
tion with the meeting, as well as tick-
ets for the dinner, can be obtained
from the Agriculture Extension office,
in Bellefonte, or any one of the fol-
lowing officers and members of the

BELLEFONTE HIGH
WINNING AT LAST.
Bellefonte High school won its first
western conference football game, on
Monday, by defeating State College
High, on Hughes field, 8 to 0. One
touchdown in the first period and a
touchback in the fourth made the sum
total on the score board. At no stage
of the game did the visitors come
within striking distance of the Belle-
fonte goal line. In fact most of the
playing was in State territory.
It was a bad day for football. Half
an inch of snow fell in the morning,
followed by a little rain, and the re-
sult was a muddy, slippery field. The
weather in the afternoon was also
quite threatening, but notwithstand-
ing this fact from fifteen hundred to
two thousand people were on the field
to see the game, the State team hav-
ing the backing of about five hundred
rooters. The American Legion drum
corps was on hand for Bellefonte as
well as the High school band.
The game started with State kick-
ing to Bellefonte and with a series of
straight football plays and one for-
ward pass, Derstine to Confer, which
netted about twenty-five yards, Belle-
fonte got within striking distance of
State’s goal line when Montgomery
went through the line for the only
touchdown. The kick for a goal was
blocked. The rest of the game was a
see-saw until about the middle of the
fourth period when a State player
fumbled the ball back of his own goal
line and a Bellefonte player recover-
ed it and scored a touchback.
The Bellefonte team throughout
showed a better fighting spirit than
it has at any time during the season,
due no doubt to the coaching of Alvin
Watson, an old Penn State player,
who was secured last week for the
balance of the season in place of
Robert Cresswell. Bellefonte has
three more games to play. While they
are out of the running as contenders
for the western conference pennant,
if they continue to develop during the
next two weeks as they have the past
week they will be a worthy foe for
Lock Haven on Thanksgiving day.
Up at State College, on Saturday,
State defeated George Washington 50
to 0. while the Bellefonte Academy
downed Wyoming Seminary, at
Wilkes-Barre, 35 to 0.
The constellation of Orion is es-
pecially beautiful just now. Can you
locate it? The three stars of his belt
are called the three “Kings.” Just
about the middle of Orion's sword is
a fuzzy little spot. It is the nebula
of Orion. If you can see it with the
naked eye, you are to be congratulat-
ed for wonderful eye sight.

SLEEPING BABY FLIES
THROUGH MOTOR WINDSHIELD
Four Cars in Peculiar Accident on
Sunday Afternoon.
Four cars figured in an auto wreck,
highway, on Sunday afternoon, and
the drivers of three of them are now
wondering where the blame will fin-
ally be placed. The cars were a Ford
coupe driven by David H. Yonkers,
of Philipsburg, and in which were his
wife, young son and baby; a Chrysler
coupe, driven by Fred B. Hicks, of
State College, and who was accom-
panied by two other young men. The
two cars were going towards Snow
Shoe. :
Coming down the mountain was a
Willys-Knight car driven by Arizio
Mastaso, of Snow Shoe, and follow-
ing it was the heavy Packard car of
0. J. Harm, with Walter Harm driv-
ing.
Just above
Runville, Hicks, the
taso, fearing a collision, stopped his
car. Harm, close in the rear of Mas-
taso, swung quickly to the left to
avoid a rear end collision with the
Willys-Knight, hoping to pass
tween it and the Chrysler, but the
latter was sideswiped by the heavy
car and thrown into the fence at the
side of the road. The impact threw
the Harm car into the Ford wrecking
it.
It was all over in a few seconds and
when the occupants of the various
cars began to take stock to see how
badly they were hurt they found
the Yonkers baby lying on the run-
ning board of the Harm car sound
asleep. When the Harm car struck
the Ford the windshield was shatter-
Mrs. Yonkers was thrown forward
the child dropped from her arms
through the broken windshield and
rolled down onto the running board
of the Harm car. It was not injured
in the least.
As luck would have it none of the
parties who figured in the accident
were seriously hurt. Walter Harm
got a cut on his left cheek, Mr. Harm
received a cut finger and contusion on
the leg, the Yonkers boy had a slight
cut on the head and one or two oth-
ers had slight cuts and bruises. In-
formations have been made against
three of the drivers for infractions of
the automobile laws by State highway
patrolmen.
Bellefonte Academy will Play Last
Home Game Tomorrow.
The Bellefonte Academy football
team will appear on Hughes field to-
morrow (Saturday) in the last home
game of the season, when their op-
ponents will be the sturdy Freshmen
team from Washington and Jefferson
college. This team has not been de-
feated this year and on Monday play-
ed a tie game with the Pitt Fresh-
men. In practice with the W & J.
varsity eleven they frequently score
on the older men. Such is the calibre
of the team that will go up against
the Academy tomorrow.
That it will be a great game is a
certainty. The only defeat suffered
by the Academy this year was at the
hands of the New York University
Freshmen, and that was more a lucky
break in the game than superiority in
football. Every fan can feel assured
that the local boys will give a good
account of themselves in the fight
with the western kickers.
The game will be called at 2:30
o'clock and at 1:45 the Odd Fellows
band will give a concert on the Dia-
mond and later lead the parade to
Hughes field. Bellefonte Kiwanis has
taken a hand and will help to swell
the crowd. Business men are request-
ed to display the Acdamey colors and
do all they can to create enthusiasm
for the game. The regular price of
admission will be one dollar. High
school children will be admitted for
50 cents and a nominal charge f 10
cents will be made to all grade + hool
pupils
It might here be added that the
Academy, this week, received a prop-
osition from the champion Military
Academy of Tennessee to play a post-
season game in New York on De-
cember 8th, but turned it down.

OFFICIAL COUNT SHOWS
SOME DECIDED CHANGES.
The official count of the vote cast
at the election in Centre county shows
some decided changes in the totals
from those published last week, but
not enough to materially change any
of the results. Hoover's majority for
President is reduced while Chase, for
Congress, makes a substantial gain.
One noticeable thing is that while
voters went against every amendment
but that for the State College bond
issue, Philipsburg voters went on rec-
ord 1040 to 164 in favor of a $105,-
000 bond issue for a new school build-
ing; Millheim voted 257 to 24 for a
bond issue of $18,500 for a new school
building, and Milesburg went on rec-
ord 150 to 40 for an $8,000 bond issue
to build a new reservoir to improve
the town’s water supply.
All in all it was the most expensive
election ever held in Centre county.
Four years ago the presidential elec-
tion expenses were $6,232, while this
year they will probably run up to ten
thousand or thereabouts. As the
county commissioners have not yet
received all the bills it is impossible
to give the exact figure, but $10,000
is a fairly close estimate.
The official count of the vote was
made by prothonotary S. Claude Herr,
Roy Wilkinson and John Bower Jr.,
and it took from 12 o’clock noon, on
Thursday, to late Saturday afternoon
to complete it. The result is as fol-
lows:

Important Changes Being Made in
the Bush House.
Now that he has taken possession
of the Bush house W. J. Emerick has
started work on some radical changes
which cannot help but result in decid-
ed improvement to the hotel. The
room on the west side of the lobby,
formerly occupied by Runkle’s drug
store will be made a portion of the
hotel proper. The front portion of
the room will be fitted up for Ed.
Garbrick’s cigar store and news
stand. In the rear of that will be a
private office for the hotel manager,
and the rear end of the room will be
converted into a wash room and toi-
lets.
The small writing room in the rear
of the present lobby, and the old
wash room and toilets will be thrown
into one room to be used as an extra
dining room on occasions when the
main dining room is in demand for
banquets or special dinners.
The room now occupied by Gar-
brick’s cigar store and the alcove that
was formerly the ladies entrance will
be converted into a lobby especially
for use of lady patrons of the hotel.
Mr. Emerick also has in view rais-
ing the roof of the building and con-
verting the entire fourth floor into
comfortable rooms. To do this the
present stairways will be changed and
an elevator installeq where the first
floor stairway is now located. This
latter work, however, may not be
done until next spring, but work has
already been begun on making the
first mentioned changes.
