early potato crop been so near a to-

attend the Bellefonte curb market
aver that only one and two potatoes
could be found on a stalk and lots of
stalks kad none. None of the tub-
ers were of good size and the result
was the yield was so small it did not
pay for the work. Practically all of

‘Wednesday
Blair's Nash sedan was taken from
ie front of the Blair jewelry store
about eight o'clock in the evening,
~ amd the natural conclusion was it
had been stolen. Yesterday morning
€he car was returned by postmaster
@George Glenn, of State College, who
Had taken it in mistake for his own.
The Blair car is a light green and
@Glenn’s a light blue, and when the
postmaster drove off in the wrong
ear Mrs. Blair's pocketbook was ly-
fimg on the seat and in the car were
a Iawn mower and sprayer, and he
failed to notice these things. Of
course he was abject in his apologies
when he returned the car.

———On Friday, July 12th, Mrs.
Margaret Hutchinson, of Bellefonte,
«celebrated her ninetieth birthday an-
miversary and in some way the im-
portant event slipped by the Watch-
ran news gatherer, notwithstanding
fhe fact that the occasion was made
memorable by a big dinner prepared
and served by Miss Fannie Hutchin-
som. The guests present in addition
fo Mrs. Hutchinson, her son, Harry
E«, and daughter, Miss Fannie, were
Hon. and Mrs. John T. McCormick,
of State College; Mrs. Ellen Miller,
Mrs. George McCormick, Mrs. Laura
WicCormick and Miss Caroline Mec-
Closkey, of Potters Mills, and Miss
Malinda Evans, of Williamsport.
Mrs. Hutchinson is one of the re-
markable women of Centre county.
During her four-score and ten years
she has kept in close touch with cur-
rent affairs, both local and general,
and at all times a great reader of
worth-while literature she is an in-
feresting and delightful conversation-
alist. She has always been quite ac-
fiive in all kinds of church work and
even now, at her advanced age, her
finterest is as great as ever. Mrs.
Fatchinson received quite a number of
Tandsome gifts as remembrances of
f£%e momentous day in her life his-
tory.
The Colonel and :
THOMAS A. EDISON SPENT
NIGHT IN BELLEFONTE. :
Thomas A. Edison, the electrical
‘wizard of the world, with Mrs. Edison
and the latter’s brother, Lewis Miller,
spent Friday night in Bellefonte as
guests at the Hotel Mark land.
The party were on their way by
automobile to the Edison home in
East Orange, N. J., from Chautauqua
Lake, N. Y., where, in company with
Henry Ford, they attended the Gol-
den Light Jubilee celebration held
there last week.
The eighty-two year old inventor
bears his age remarkably well. He
stands and walksas erectasa sol-
| dier on parade. His eyesight is un-
"usually good and his only defect is
his hearing—being as deaf as the
, proverbial lamp-post. The Edisons
| visited Bellefonte on August 9th,
11926, at which time they spent the
i night at the Brockerhoff house, so it
‘was quite natural that they went
there again last Friday. On being
told of the Markland they decided to
spend the night there but instead of
getting in their car and driving
around the block “in state,” Mr. and
Mrs. Edison and Mr. Miller walked
there by way of Cherry alley.
As a mark of courtesy landlord M.
i A. Landsy sent their meals from the
Markland and served them there.
The service was so punctual that Mr.
Edison asked the waitress if she had
come over in an airplane. = When
she answered in the negative he tap-
ped her on the leg and said, “these
are your airplanes.”
When they were about ready to
leave the hotel landlord Landsy ask-
ed Mr. Edison to register his name
and those of his party in his own
handwriting, and he graciously com-
plied. But when he came to chauf-
feur the electrical wizard was stump-
ed and he turned to Mrs. Edison and
: agked how to spell it. She wrote it
lon a slip of paper and Mr. Edison
copied it in the register.
| When he was here three years ago
‘ burgess Hard P. Harris tock him out
"to see the Bellefonte spring and also
: showed him the big trout in Spring
| creek and one of the first questions
{ he asked, on Friday evening, was
‘whether the big trout are still in
‘the creek. And before leaving, on
Saturday morning, he had his chauf-
{ where they all got out and watched
| the trout being fed chopped beef by
| Charlie Brachbill. Mrs. Edison also
tried her hand at throwing in some
of the meat.
As it was late, Friday evening,
| when the Edison party reached Belle-
| fonte, and they left at eight o’clock
Saturday morning, comparatively few
| people knew they were here or gota
i sight of them. But employees of the
| the distinguished visitors while they
{ were viewing the fish. Among those
who saw them was Wesley Jarrett,
evening Russell | gpg he has been very much worried |
ever since for fear people wont be-
tileve him when he tells them he saw
| Mr. and Mrs. Edison. ;
HUNTING CORN BORERS
| IN CENTRE COUNTY.
| Several field men of the State De-
| partment of Agriculture are in Cen-
| tre county, this week, inspecting corn
fields for traces of the corn borer. It
| will be recalled that two years ago a
i quarantine was placed on a portion
{ of Potter township because of evi-
| dence of the borer in that section,
{ but last year no infected fields were
! found. The inspection being made
| this week is not because of any com-
plaint but merely as a precaution-
rary measure to prevent the pest
from securing a foothold in this sec-
tion of the State.
| According to county agent R. C.
| Blaney the borer makes it appear-
‘ance first in the tassel of the corn
‘and can be detected by broken down
| and wilted stems of the tassel. From
| the tassel the borer continues its
| journey down through the peth of
! the corn stalk, and it is this journey
| that proves disastrous to the growing
icorn. Some farmers imagine that
| the borer attacks the corn ears and
‘eats the grain while. in the milk
| stage, but that is a mistake. That is
the ear worm that does that damage,
i but it is not plentiful enough to be
considered a menace.
There is a quarantine, however,
against the borer, and every farmer
should inspect his own corn field for
traces of this destructive pest.
OFFICER’S REUNION WILL
BE HELD AT BOALSBURG.
An annual reunion of all officers
who have served and are now on
duty with the Pennsylvania Nation-
al Guard, as well as all officers who
served in the Twenty-eighth division
during the World War, will be held
at the officers’ club, on the estate of
Col. Theodore Davis Boal, at Boals-
burg, on Saturday and Sunday, Sep-
tember 28th and 29th. The committee
who will have charge of the arrange-
ments for the camp is composed of
Brigadier General Edward Martin,
Lieutenant Colonels Samuel W.
Rhoads and Frank A. Warner, and
Major Gerard S. Bryce.
The officers’ club at Boalsburg has
been selected as the place for holding
the reunion because it is centrally
located and the logical spot for such
a gathering. As this will be the first
time that such a meeting of officers
will have been held it is planned to
make it one of outstanding promi-
nence.

CAPT. FRY HONOR GUEST
AT JOINT REUNION.
In the crowd of three hundred or
more people who attended the joint
reunion of old Pine Grove Academy
students and members of the Fry
clan, at Pine Grove Mills, last Satur-
day, an even forty registered as old
students while the others were there
to honor the dean of the Fry family,
Capt. W. H. Fry. The gathering was
held on the Academy lawn and the
morning hours were spent in ex-
changing happy greetings.
At noontime the tables were set on
the lawn and though it took two
servings to take care of the crowd
there was a bounteous repast for all
and much to spare. Two large cakes,
emblematic of Capt. Fry's 86th an-
niversary, were much in evidence.
One of them was baked by Miss Vir-
ginia Dale, Capt. Fry's granddaugh-
ter, and the other by Mrs. Marie
Kirkpatrick. The candles on the
cake were snuffed out by Francis
Fry, of the fourth generation.
Rev. J. Max Kirkpatrick was mas-
ter of ceremonies and made the ad-
dress of welcome, while the Hon. J.
Laird Holmes delivered a happy re-
sponse. Responses to toasts were
‘made by Rev. J. O. C. McCracken, of
Juniata; Rev. S. B. Brown, of Grays-
ville; Rev. W. J. Wagner, of Boals-
burg; Rev. C. W. Rishel, of State
College, and C. C. Shuey, of Belle-
fonte.
| Capt. Fry, who was specially hon-
iored by the gathering with a large
number of handsome gifts in com-
| memoration of his anniversary, is so
"well known throughout Centre coun-
| ty that anything we might say would
| neither add to nor detract from his
reputation. During his long life he
‘has lived, not for himself alone, but
for the good he could do for his fel-
‘lowman. At the reunion, on Satur-
day, it was voted to meet at the same
‘place next year the last Saturday in
| August.

SRE CRETE PRR RE,
STOCK JUDGING CONTEST
AT THE GRANGE FAIR.
The junior livestock judging con-
test to be held at the Grange Fair,
Centre Hall, promises to be one of
the outstanding features of the week.
The time for the contest has been set
for 8:30, Wednesday, August 27th.
All contestants will meet at the new
dairy barn on the fair grounds. The
contest is open to any boy or girlin
Centre county under 18 years of age
and who is not in college.
R. C. Blaney, county agent; Edwin
Dale, supervisor of agriculture at
Boalsburg; Mr. Decker, supervisor of
agriculture at Spring Mills, and W. S.
Jeffries, county vocational supervisor,
have joined forces to make the judg-
ing contest the best ever held. Each
of the above has specially urged the
boys who work under their supervision
to take part, and from the response
they have every reason to expect
from 50 to 75 to enter.
The Grange Fair Association has
been very generous in the money giv-
en for prizes for this contest. Their
fine spirit of cooperation will go a
long way toward making an under-
taking of this kind a success.
The boys and girls in Mr. Blaney's
4-H clubs, and the vocational classes
of the other three men, will compete
for places on teams which will repre-
sent each group at young farmers’
week, at State College next spring.
Each man will select a certain num-
ber of those boys and girls in his
group having the highest score. In
the spring they will have a combined
contest for these groups to make a
final selection for the teams. The con-
test at Centre Hall will thus have
some weight on the selection of the
teams.
This contest is open to any boy or
girl in Centre county not over 18
years of age.
Any boy or girl now in college is
not eligible to take part.
Each boy or girl will judge one
class of dairy cattle, poultry and
hogs in order to compete for prizes.
The winners will be selected from
those having the highest score for
the three classes.
Each contestant will be allowed 15
minutes per class.
Prize money and ribbons will be
awarded for the first five places as
follows: 1st, $12.00; 2nd, $8.00; 3rd,
$5.00; 4th, $3.00; 5th, $2.00.
BELLEFONTE’S BIG TROUT
EAT A BEEF A MONTH.
The big trout in Bellefont’e nat-
tural fish preserve (Spring creek op-
posite the Watchman office) eat more
meat on an average every day in the
week than any ten families. In fact
they eat a big beef every month, and
it is all clean meat, at that, with-
out any bones entering into the
weight. - At first reading’ this may
seem merely a fish story, but never-

, MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE
DAMAGING MANY GARDENS,
The Mexican bean beetle has prov-
en a very destructive pest in many
Centre county gardens this year. Up
pletely destroyed the bean crop in
the Henry Earon garden, and did con-
siderable damage in other gardens.
Only a small mill race separates
the Earon garden from that of How-
ard Holzworth and yet not a beetle
has been discovered in the Holzworth
garden. ;
The beetle has also been unusually
active in and around Milesburg and
various other sections of Centre
county, according to county agent R.
C. Blaney. They have made
their appearance in Bellefonte but
{have not proven very destructive
here.
The beetle, according to Mr. Blan-
ey, is one of the ordinary yearly
pests but is much more destructive
this year than ordinarily, which may
be accounted for by the unusually
dry summer. It is not usually consid-
ered a serious matter to control it,
and there are no quarantine regula-
tions against it.

Inquiry at the Busy Bee restaurant
brought forth the information that
the daily sale there runs from twelve
to fifteen pounds, and twenty to
twenty-five on Sundays and holidays.
The biggest day’s sale there was thir-
ty pounds.
Taking the minimum figures of
each for week days it would mean
approximately thirty pounds a day
for six days in the week or 180
pounds. Add to this the minimum for
Sunday, or 45 pounds and you have
a total of 225 pounds for the week’s
feed, which doesn’t take into account
any meat that might be sold at the
butcher shops.
Take 225 pounds a week and multi-
ply it by four and you have 900
pounds, which is more clean meat
than you will find on the average

CHILD CRUSHED TO DEATH
BY FATHER’S AUTOMOBILE.
On Monday evening Reber Bech-
del, 17 months old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Harris Bechdel, living near
Howard, was knocked down and run
over by his father’s car, suffering
injuries which resulted in his death,
at the Lock Haven hospital, several
hours later.
Mr. Bechdel had been engaged in
making some repairs to his car and
the child had been at play in the
garden nearby. The mother took the
little boy into the house and he evad-
ed her watchfulness, slipped out and
made his way to the garage just as
Mr. Bechdel was backing out to test
out his car. The child was rushed
to the Lock Haven hospital where he
died at ten o'clock.
In addition to the parents one sis-
ter and three brothers survive, Lois,
Leland, Emerald and Walter. Burial
was made in the Schenck cemetery
yesterday afternoon.
