LOCK HAVEN BANKER
COMMITTED SUICIDE.
William C. Long, cashier of the
Clinton County Trust company, at
Lock Haven, and president of the
school board of that place, commit-
ted suicide, last Thursday afternoon,
by shooting himself in the head. The
shooting took place in Mary's alley
shortly after one o'clock, and the
body was discovered a few minutes
later. A rumor that a shortage of
the accounts of the school board
might have been cause for the sui-
cide has been disproved by an inves-
tigation of the accounts and the only
known reason for Mr. Long's taking
his own life was ill health. He leaves
a wife and one son, William Long.

VOCATIONAL PROJECTS
AT GRANGE FAIR.
The men teaching vocational agri-
culture in Centre county have made
plans for a vocational agricultural
project contest to be held in con-
nection with the Grange fair at Cen-
tre Hall. This contest will be staged
in the educational building. The
judging of the project books will be
done Tuesday, August 26th, at 2:00
P- Mm.
A project contest of this type will
be a new event in Centre county.
The vocational pupils have been
competing in the State contest held
in Harrisburg but have never had
the opportunity to compete on a coun-
ty basis. The Centre county contest
will be conducted according to the
rules of the State contest. There are
certain minimum standards set up
by the State which a boy has to meet
in order to be eligible for the con-
test. These standards are as follows:
1. Baby Beef—One animal
2. Beekeeping—Five colonies
3. Corn—Two acres
4. Dairy—Two milk cows, 2 calves or
records on 5 cows.
5. Fruit—Fifty trees or 1% acre of small
fruit.
6. Potatoes—One acre
7. Poultry—Two hundred chicks, fifty
hens or 50 capons.
8. Sheep—Four ewes
9. Swine—Four shoats or one sow and
litter.
11. Truck—One-half acre, or garden of
one-fourth acre.
12. Home Improvement—No minimum
13. Medal Winners class—Same as above.
The above classification will be
used at Centre Hall except that the
baby beef will be grouped with dairy,

AUTOISTS WARNED
TO OBEY FIRE LAWS.
Every time there is a fire alarm in
Bellefonte automobilists generally
make a rush for the scene of the fire,
seriously impending the progress of
the firemen and blocking traffic. To
prevent this dangerous nuisance the
last Legislature enacted a law,
which carries a heavy penalty,
which, if enforced, will go a long
ways toward regulating traffic in
times of fire. A review of the law,
as prepared by S. Edward Gable,
president of the Pennsylvania
Motor Federation, is as follows, and
automobilists and firemen should give
it careful consideration. Mr. Gable
says:
“Firemen from all over the State
complain that motorists in many in-
stances fail to give them the right of
way and in some cases actually ham-
per them in responding to a call.”
“Lives and property are jeopardiz-
ed by even the slightest delay in fire
apparatus or ambulances responding
to an emergency call. Motorists who
are responsible for causing such de-
lay are subject to arrest and fine.”
The law relating to this offense
reads as follows:
“ ‘Upon the approach of any police
or fire department vehicle or ambu-
lance giving an audible signal, the
driver of every other vehicle shall
immediately drive the same to a
position as near as possible and par-
allel to the right-hand edge or curb
of the highway, clear of any inter-
the medal winners class will be
dropped and a miscellaneous group,
which will include beekeeping, etc.,
will be substituted in its place.
In corn, potatoes and small grain
projects, an exhibit of the size listed
below will aid materially.
H. C. Fetterolf, director of agricul-
tural education, Department of Public
Instruction, Harrisburg, will do the
judging of the projects in the con-
test. Mr. Fetterolf has been associa-
ted with vocational work from the
start and has done much to make
the work in Pennsylvania what it is
today. He has had vast experience
with project work and we feel it a
compliment to vocational work in
Centre county to be able to get him
to do the judging.
Following is alist of rules for the
contest:
This contest is open to all boys
and girls, regularly enrolled in vo-
cational agriculture in Centre coun-
ty, who are carrying projects eligi-
ble for the State project contest.
All project books and exhibits
shall be in the educational building
on the fair grounds by 10:00 A. M.
Tuesday.
Additional points will be. given in
judging for an exhibit of potatoes,
corn and small grains. The size of
the exhibit shall be as follows:
Corn 10 ears: potatoes, 10 tubers;
small grain 1 quart.
The projects will be judged on the
following points: Neatness of book,
each month the project was carried,
size of project, self labor, each visit
by the supervisor, ownership, news
clippings, pictures.
Prizes of $3.00, $2.00 and $1.00
will be awarded for the first three
places in each of the following
groups: Dairy cattle, corn, fruit, po-
tatoes, poultry, sheep, swine, small
grains, truck, home improvement,
miscellaneous.
STATE COLLEGE PROFESSOR
HELD UP AND ROBBED.
A news dispatch from York tells
how L. C. Madison, of the State De-
partment of Agriculture, livestock
division, State College, was held up
and robbed, on Sunday, between
Laurel and Baltimore, Md., by two
young men in training with the tank
corps, at Camp Meade, Md. The men
gave their names as William Ander-
son and Paul Rishell, and according
to the dispatch they took Madison’s
automobile, wrist watch and $27 in
cash. The young men were caught
the same evening and taken to Han-
over, Pa., for a hearing.
——We have received from M. I.
Gardner, of Clearfield, secretary of
the Clearfield County Agricultural
Society, the premium list for the
69th annual Clearfield county fair,
and if the gathering proves as big as
the book our neighbors across the
mountain will have a fair to be
proud of September 10 to 13, inclu-
sive. The premium list is a book of
144 pages, without the cover, and
$10,000 in purses and premiums are
offered. Many free attractions are
advertised for the week and the pro-
moters promise one of the best fairs
to be held in Central Pennsylvania
this year.

——The Hotel Philips, at Philips-
burg, has changed hands, having
been purchased last week by E. S.
Shuck, proprietor of the hotel Dime-
ling, in Clearfield, and the Fort Lig-
onier hotel, at Ligonier, Pa. The
new owner took charge on Thursday
morning and as he is a hotel man of
many year’s experience in various
places he will probably make a suc-
cess of the Philips.
—Thirty cars, trucks and wagons
lined up at the Bellefonte curb mar-
ket, last Saturday morning, and
about everything seasonable was of-
fered for sale in good quantities, ex-
cept apples. They were exceptionally
scarce and so far have been of very
inferior quality.

and remain in such position unless
otherwise directed by a peace officer
until the police or fire department ve-
hicle or ambulance shall have passed.
“ ‘It shall be unlawful for the driv-
er of any vehicle other than oneon
official business to follow any fire ap-
paratus traveling in response to a
fire alarm closer than 500 feet or to
drive into or park such vehicle with-
in the block where fire apparatus has
stopped in answer to a fire alarm.”
Offense does not rest wholly with
the private vehicle driver, however
Mr. Gable says. He points out that
accidents sometimes occur as the re-
sult of an ambulance or fire appara-
tus driver taking unnecessary
chances and recklessly disregarding
the safety of all other users of the
highway.

ALTOONA TO STAGE
GREATEST DOLLAR DAY.
As announced elsewhere in this is-
sue, the Altoona Booster stores are
going to hold their mid-summer dol-
lar day on Wednesday, August 14,
and the people throughout Central
Pennsylvania are invited to attend
the sale and share in the bargains
that will be offered for the one day.
According to the information that
' has come to us, this will be the big-
"best dollar cay event the Booster
stores have ever held and the offer-
ings will include such a wide variety
that one will be able to buy practical-
[ly everything needed for personal
| use, while the kinds of merchandise
| needed for the home will also be in-
‘cluded at special dollar day prices.
Booster merchants have bought
large quantities of new merchandise
that will be offered at special prices
and will also offer much of their re-
maining summer stocks at reduced
prices in order to close them out to
make room for new fall merchandise.
Inasmuch as there will be several
"months of warm weather during
| which summer apparel can be worn
and summer needs will be required
for the home, it will be profitable for
people to take advantage of the dol-
lar day opportunities offered by
Booster stores and buy freely.
Arrangements have been made for
a special dollar day program to be
broadcasted over station, WFBG, on
Tuesday evening, August 13. Don’t
forget to tune in and hear this worth
while program.

——Two years ago the State Cen-

Moshannon creek, near Beaver Mills.
. They stocked the dam with trout and
had visions of many a delightful
fishing excursion in years to come.
Today the association is in danger of
losing its lease on the place be-
cause the rental has not been forth-
