franchise to operate a motor bus
service between Philipsburg and

tentative schedule provides for two
round trips daily, leaving Philips-

in Bellefonte at 9:30. The afternoon
bus will leave Philipsburg at 5 o’clock

With wells and cisterns dry,
streams low and gardens and farm
crops burned almost to the point of
destruction for lack of rain, there is
one small spot in Bellefonte that
shows no signs of the prolonged
~drouth. It is the little island in
Spring Creek, a short distance south
«of the Watchman office. Though its
verdure consists of a few trees and
various kinds of weeds the latter |
are so rank and green that the island
is more a spot of beauty than an eye-
sore, and one cannot help but think
that if the ground had been cultiva-
ted and planted in flowers and veget-
ables what a wonderful garden it
would make.
—A family gathering was held at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Coxey, on east Bishop street, on
Sunday, in celebration of Mr. Coxey’s
natal anniversary, which really fell
on Wednesday of last week but the
gathering was not held until Sunday
as it was more convenient for all the
children to be at home that day. The
gathering included Mr. and Mrs. L.
A. Olsen and children, of Bellefonte;
Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Tarbert and
daughter, Audrey Anne, of York, Pa.;
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Coxey and son
‘Billy, of Clearfield, with Mr. and Mrs.
‘W. C. Coxey and daughter Dorothy.
It goes without saying that the occa-
sion proved a most delightful one for
all. While Mr. and Mrs. Eugene
Coxey and son were here for the day
only Mr. and Mrs. Tarbert and
daughter will be guests at the paren-
the court that an investigation dis-
closed the fact that Doebler was
born in Cumberland county. That
he had served a sentence in the Ly-
coming county jail for desertion and
non-support and one in the North-
umberland county jail for bigamy.
That he was also wanted in both Ly-
coming and Clinton counties for for-
gery. He was sentenced to pay the
costs of prosecution, one dollar fine
and undergo imprisonment in the
western penitentiary for not less
than two and a half nor more than
five years.
Lester Crider plead guilty to pass-
ing two forged checks at State Col-
lege for a total of $21.50. Mr. Wilkin- |
son informed the court that his in-
vestigation revealed that the young
man had a pronounced career of
crime. Born in Franklin county, he
was sent to the Huntingdon reforma-
tory for forgery. Paroled from that
institution he went to work for a
Huntingdon county man, forged his
name to a check and stole his auto-
mobile, for which crime he served a
term in the penitentiary. He arrived
at State College in February with a
truck and engaged in the draying
business and was still working there
when he passed the two forged
checks. He was sentenced to pay a
dollar fine, costs and two to four
years in the penitentiary.
John Blovelt, of Patton township,
also plead guilty to forgery but it
was shown to the court that he was

tions.

not read and about all he can do in
the writing line is sign his name. He
was working for Crider in his dray-
ing business and at the latter's re-
quest passed one of the forged
checks on a State College merchant.
The court sentenced him to pay the
costs and serve ten days in the coun-
ty jail.
Paul Weaver, also of State Col-
lege, plead guilty to passing a worth-
less check for $3.15. Mr. Wilkinson
Blovelt is 53 years old and:
nor more than eighteen months on
each indictment, or a total of $400
fine and imprisonment of eighteen
months to three years.
Joseph Love, who on June 4th
was sentenced to serve four months
in the Centre county jail for driving
an automobile while intoxicated, was
an applicant for parole, and on rec-
ommendation of the probation of-
ficer the same was granted.
NEWT HESS’ STUFFED BEAR
PROVES BIG ATTRACTION.
Schaeffer's hardware store, on
Allegeheny street, has a wonderful
attraction, this week, for old and
young. It is the mounted kodiac
bear shot by N. E. Hess, of State
College, early in 1928, up in Alaska.
The bear was mounted in Williams-
port and is standing upright on a
four foot imitation rock pedestal. As
it stands it is ten feet high, with
front legs extended and its huge
jaws agape revealing four angry
looking tusks and two jaws full of
grinders.
The bear was a male, and as its
estimated weight when killed was
1400 pounds, it was evidently “cock
of the walk” in its mountainous
domain. Itstough hide bears numer-
ous scars of mortal combat and the
lower jaw bears evidence of having
been badly broken at one time as it is
all askew though all healed and knit
together.
It’s front legs are as big as those
of a large sized horse, and the girl
iwho, on looking at the bear remark-
ed, “My, but Ill bet he could
squeeze hard,” had him sized up all
The bear was brought here
from Williamsport, last Friday, and
will remain on exhibition in the
Schaeffer hardware store until next
Monday when it will be taken to
State College.

SUCCESSOR CHOSEN
TO PROFESSOR REITER.
Headmaster James R. Hughes an-
nounces that he has secured the serv-
ices of Prof. Fred Cockins, of New
York, as head of the science depart-
ment at the Bellefonte Academy, as
successor to Prof. George F. Reiter,
resigned to become superintendent of
the Senior High school at Cumber-
land, Md. Prof. Cockins. who will re-
port for work at the opening of the
Academy in September, is a gradu-
ate of the Ohio State University,
class of 1905. He had a graduate
scholarship at the University of Chi-
cago in 1910 and won his M. A. de-
gree at Columbia University in 1911.
Since then he has been an instructor
in physics and chemistry during his
twenty-four years experience in
teaching, which included High
schools in Ohio, Oberlin college, the
High school at Long Beach, Cal,
medical college, at Los Angeles, Cal..
and Englewood, N. J., High school.
Prof. Cockins will be able to help out
with athletics and is also possessed
of considerable musical talent, as
well as an attractive and pleasing
personality.
Commenting on the resignation of
Prof. Reiter, Mr. Hughes stated that
he regretted it very much that Mr.
Reiter, who had been assistant head-
master for sixteen years, found it de-
sirable to leave. But a rare oppor-
tunity for educational effort having
been offered at Cumberland. Md., he
felt that he should accept. Realizing
the situation Mr. Hughes reluctantly
accepted his resignation, as he did
not wish to raise any barrier in the
way of Prof. Reiter's advancement
Commenting on the latter's work at
the Academy Mr. Hughes stated that
his efforts have always been con-
scientious, pains-taking and success-
ful. He worked out many details in
the scholastic life of the school that
resulted in its unanimous selection by
the secondary schools commission for
the most recently revised list of ac-
credited schools. His sympathetic
disposition, high class scholarship
and eminent success in the depart-
ment of physics and chemistry won
for him the most profound esteem
and respect of parents, students and
fellow teachers. :
FAREWELL RECEPTION
GIVEN REITER FAMILY.
The farewell reception given to
Prof. and Mrs. George F. Reiter and
family, in the lecture room of the
Methodist church, last Friday even-
ing, was largely attended. J. Ken-
nedy Johnston Esq., was in charge of
the affair, and, in behalf of the meii-
| bers of the church, presented the
| Reiters with a handsome floor lamp.
The evening’s program included var-
‘ious musical selections, both vocal
‘and instrumental, addresses by Rev. :
| Homer C. Knox, C. C. Shuey and W.
\ I. Fleming,
| professor and Mrs. Reiter. Refresh-
ments were served during the even-

Homan is one of the few farmer's we have
met who isn’t putting on a long face
about poor crops. He said his hay wasn’t
up to standard, his wheat and oats only
fair and he doesn’t expect much from his
corn, but he was smiling all the while
and we inferred that he is one of the
kind who gracefully accepts things as
they come.

Tuesday morning was J. Orvis Peters, of
Stormstown. Mr. Peters is the father of

up his residence in Philipsburg to move
over into Half Moon valley to make a
home for another son, Ellis, who had
bought the John Thomas farm there
on which he hopes to make more money
than his brothers, Clarence and George,
are making on the old Capt. Hunter farm,
which they own and occupy: They are
a thorough going family and results are
showing what young men with brains
and a will to work can make on Centre
county farms when they set themselves to
it. Miss Ruth Peters, one of the younger
sisters of the boys, having finished her
High school work, will enter the Wil-
liamsport business college on September 3.
