—Prohibition administrator Wynne is having a hard time with bootleggers and politicians. ——The Prince of Wales won a golf match, the other day. You can’t fall off of anything while playing golf. ——President Hoover is willing to do anything for prohibition except appoint prohibition federal district attorneys. ——Now they are accusing Henry Ford of “dodging” railroad rates. We immagined Henry would talk himself into trouble sooner or later. ——Owen D. Young's achievement in the reparations parley has put him in the class of Presidential prob- abilities, though he is a Democrat. ——Some of the Mexican rebels don’t know that the war is cver. Several of them were killed in battle in the State of Zacatecas’ the other day. ——The President is unlucky in his week-end outings. He almost “stuck-in-the-mud” last Sunday, and previous experiences were even worse. ——Governor Fisher has made rules for the coal and iron police similar to the provisions in the bill he vetoed, but hasn’t given reasons for the veto. New Jersey has gained fame at various periods for apple-jack, sweet potatoes and mosquitoes. Re- cently she is getting notoriety for mysterious murders. Judged from her demonstrated ability to talk long and hard we should say Mrs. Willebrandt should prove a very well qualified counsel for the Air Corporation. —The “Afaletics” are standing well out in front in the American League race and we're hoping they stay there, for Mr. Cornelius McGillicudy must be about run out of alibis. ——Highways in Pennsylvania have been vastly improved since 1913, as State Treasurer Martin says, but the people have paid the expenses and he gives all the credit to the Re: publican party. The opponents of the newly ap- pointed judge for the Middle District of Pennsylvania are threatening to carry their fight into the Senate. But it will be a futile effort Senatorial courtesy will save Watson. —A little friend of ours, who is very much interested in the Sunday school which has been organized here for the children of Hebrew families, said “business is so good I guess we'll have to have it twice a week.” ~—Taking of the new census will" not start until April 1, 1930, so there is yet time to make an effort to boost the population of Bellefonte ov- er that four thousand mark around which it has been hanging for two decades. —A singular coincidence of the final adjudication of the Centre Coun- ty Banking Company's affairs was that on last Friday the federal court at Williamsport did exactly what we asked the creditors and the court at Sunbury to do on June 30, 1922. —Thursday night's rain was a real Sodsend. While it seems only a short ime ago that everyone was fearful ‘hat the rains would never stop it eally was long enough for the sround to dry out badly and vegeta- ion was beginning to show the ef- ‘ects. —Pity poor President Hoover.

Rum-Running at Detroit. An intensive campaign against li- | Tumbled Through a Low French quor smuggling at Detroit is contem- plated by law enforcement authori- ties at Washington and it is high time for such a movement. Canadian House of Commons, at Ot- tawa, recently, William D. Euler, Canada’s minister of national reve- nue, stated that he had shipped on a rum-runner and was informed by an officer of the ship that such craft operated day and night without in- terruption. He said that on occa- sions United States customs agents “assisted rum-runners to unload their cargoes and no effort, so far as we can see, is made by the United States to seize any of these boats.” It is small wonder that Canadian of- ficials are relucant to interfere with the traffic. The prohibition authorities at Washington have long been urging Canadian revenue officers to prevent the exportation of booze to the United States. Mr. Euler declares that “the United States customs always are notified by us an hour before the boats leave and occasionally we no- tify them as the boats are leaving. United States customs officials have requested the Canadian authorities to discontinue their daily telephone notifications of clearance of liquor laden vessels and have asked them to mail weekly notifications instead.” The purpose of this request was prob- ably to give the rum-runners ample time to unload their cargoes and get away with the spoils of the traffic without seizure. Meantime President Hoover con- | tinues to “pass the buck” and “pull wool over the eyes” of the morons. He now asks Congress to appoint a special Congressional committee to plan reorganization of prohibition enforcement which will give the bootleggers and rum-runners another extention of time in which to con- tinue their prosperous operations. Some time ago Mr. Hoover announc- ed that the enforcement service should be taken away from Secre- tary Mellon and lodged in the De- partment of Justice. But he makes no suggestion of that kind now. Uncle Andy may be as averse to re- linquishing any of the prerogatives of his office as he is to giving up the office itself, and Uncle Andy is a vast force.

JUNE 14, 1929. SIXTY BOYS AND GIRLS MAKE CALF CLUB TOUR. a number of parents and club spon- sors, made up the calf club tour through Union county, last Satur- day, under the direction of county agent R. C. Blaney, for the purpose of observing the results of calf club ‘work conducted by the boys and girls of that section. _ Leaving Pleasant Gap early in the morning, by automobile, the first stop was made at the home of Doro- thy Sheets, near Hartleton. That young woman, who is a member of three clubs organized in Union coun- ty in three successive years, proudly exhibited three calves which she had purchased through her club organiza- tions, and which were splendid ex- amples of the care and attention given them by the young owner. The second stop was at the farm of William H. Taylor, where the tourists inspected two calf heifers. Dinner was eaten at the Buffalo Valley hotel after which a visit was made to the farm of the Shoemaker Bros. Five members of the family of one of the owners, both "boys and girls, are members of a calf | club and the five calves were led out and exhibited by the owner of each, who not only told of the care and feed of the animal but also gave a detailed account of it’s breeding. Several members of the Union coun- ty calf club were present at the | gathering at the Shoemaker farm, among them Clair Ertley, of Mifflin- burg, who has had the grand cham- pion heifer in Union county the past two years. He gave a very interest- ing talk on how he raised his heifers, stating that he had fed a balanced ration of corn, oats, bran and oil meal both during the summer as well as when stabled during the winter. The last stop was made at the home of John Wehr, below Mifflin- ‘burg, where three calf club mem- bers exhibited and told about their calves. At this stop Prof. R. R. Welch ‘of State College, gave a demonstra- tion and showed the Centre county _mambers how _to get their heifers ready to show at the round-up.” In addition to the demonstration a judging contest was conducted by Mr. Welch for both boys and their dads. The winner of the adults was S. B. Wasson, of State College, who was given a prize by H. L. Ebright, of Centre Hall, key banker for Centre county. Prizes were presented to Earl Corl, of State College, and Ken- ‘neth Ishler, of Bellefonte, who were the high scorers of their respective groups. The four highest in the con- ‘test were selected as a dairy judging team to represent Centre county in ‘the State-wide contest to be held at State College on June 19th, as fol-- ows: Kenneth Ishler, Bellefonte, score 88.5; James Biddle, Bellefonte, score 81.7; Earl Corl, State College, score 78.5; Eugene Homan, State College, score 68.4. The three first names mentioned will compose the team and the fourth will be the al-- terate. He will judge as an individual in the contest. | ‘The tour while in Mifflinburg was under the direction of L. E. Craumer, county agent, and those present felt that they observed and picked up some ideas which will help them 1do a better job in caring for their own heifers. | | | SAFETY COMMITTEE i AT MONTHLY MEETING. On Tuesday evening of this week the safety welfare committee of the Federal Match Corporation varied their usual routine by holding their regular monthly meeting at the Ev- ergreen Club. The meeting was preceded by a baked bean supper, which, acording to those present, could not be surpassed. There were some fifty persons in the party, which included the safety committee and a number of employees, who are old in point of service. After supper the meeting was call- ed to order and a number of very in- teresting talks were given. Each of these stressed the importance of | “Good Fellowship,” both in and out of the plant. As one of the speak- ‘ers so aptly put it, “The plant in the past two or three years has doubled its production. Of course, part of this is due to mechanical improve- | ments, but with all these, no progress could have been made without the ' spirit of good will and co-operation that is so splendidly shown among the employees. This same spirit also i makes it possible to operate as the i plant has in the past without having i serious accidents.” In the future the ‘monthly safety meeting will be held {in conjunction with a get-together | meeting, such as was held Tuesday. ' night. | —Read the Watchman for the news Sixty Centre county boys and girls, club A BELLEFONTE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES LARGE CLASS. Six young men, members of the 1929 class of the Bellefonte High school, failed to pass their final ex- aminations and hence did not receive diplomas at the annual commence- ment exercises held in the Richelieu theatre, last Thursday evening. Every possible advantage was given the | boys to qualify. The exercises, which for several years past have been held on Wednesday evening, were set a ‘day later this year and examinations | were continued up until late Thurs- day afternoon to afford every stu- ‘dent all possible advantage, and the failure of some of the class has brought considerable unjust criticism {upon the school board and members of the High school faculty; unjust be- ‘cause they were just as anxious to make a clean record in graduating every member of the class as the | students or their friends could be. | A young man, Warren Wilson, (took first honors this year, the first time in some years that a girl has not stood at the head of the class.

This _will be the only plant for shipping milk to Phila- delphia between Huntingdon and Dun- cannon.
