BELLEFONTE NOTED
ON LOG OF THE GRAF
The big Graf Zeppelin, which only
a week ago caused so much excite-
ment in its flight over Bellefonte, is
safe at home in its hangar at Fried-
richshafen, Germany. Leaving Lake-
hurst at 7:18, eastern standard
time. on Sunday morning, the flight
to Germany was made in 67 hours
and 34 minutes, landing there at
2:52 eastern standard time on Wed-
nesday morning. ?
The Graf not only caused excite-
ment here in its voyage east, Thurs-
day morning of last week, but proved
a super-excellent advertising medium
for Bellefonte. In fact while it was
passing over Bellefonte the wireless
operator was in communication with
the radio station connected with the
Byrd expedition at Little America,
in the Antarctics, according to a
special cable dispatch sent by Rus-
sell Owen to the Chicago Daily
News. Mr. Owen said:
“Our radio station was in direct
communication with the Graf Zep-
' pelin, last night, on the last part of
its flight. Carl Peterson, who was
on the night watch, got in touch with
the big ship while it was over Belle-
fonte, Pa., and talked for some time
with Freund, one of the Zeppelin’s
wireless operators.
“He also transmitted direct to the
|ship the message of Commander
Richard E. Byrd to Dr. Hugo Eck-
' ener, congratulating him on the suc-
| cess of the around-the-world trip.
i After Freund had taken the mes-
sage he asked Peterson to wait a
i minute, and soon returned with word
‘that the airship’s commander and
Capt. Sir George Hubert Wilkins
were both asleep.”
So that is the only fly in the oint-
ment, that the world-renowned com-
mander was asleep when he flew ov-
er Bellefonte and hence was unaware
of his air visit to this historic place.
Bellefonte, however, was given a
place in the official log of the ship's
flight as compiled by the Associated
Press, according to eastern daylight
time, which is as follows:

rather hard on the fixtures and some
other patrons in the diner. |
——A Dblow-torch that he was
trying to charge nearly ended the
‘life of Alex I. Greninger, well known
merchant of Tylersville, Clinton
on Wednesday. The torch
and the burning gasoline completely
enveloped him for a few moments.
"He was frightfully burned before the
flames could be smothered out. The
accident occurred outside his store

disastrous fire. T

prize for organizations of that kind.
Philipsburg defeated Clearfield in the
final game of the C. and C. league
season, and Bellefonte defeating
Houtzdale the same day left Clear-
fild the pennant winners.
—Antoinetta Ciccarelli, 14 year old
daughter of Michael Ciccarelli, pro-
prietor of a hotel in Lock Haven, has
confessed that she has set the place
afire many times. The girl said she
started the fires for the thrill it gave
her. Three separate fires broke out
in the hotel on Tuesday and suspicion
pointed to Antoinetta. When ques-
tioned she admitted setting fire to
bed clothing in five rooms of the ho-
tel located on three separate floors.
Shortly after they had extinguished
the first fire, firemen were called
back to fight another blaze in sever-
al beds. Then a fireman was detail-
ed to watch the hotel and in a little
while another fire burst out on the
third floor.

RABBIT BREEDERS FORM
ASSOCIATION FOR PROFIT.
On Wednesday of last week, dur-
ing the Grange encampment, rabbit
breeders from various sections of
central Pennsylvania held a meeting
at Runkle’s hotel, Centre Hall, and
organized the Central Pennsylvania
Rabbit and Cavy Breeder's associa-
tion. Officers were elected and a
committee appointed to prepare a set
of by-laws for the government of the
association which will be presented
for adoption ata meeting tobe held
at State College at 7:30 p. m., Satur-
day, September 28th.
A census of the rabbits already
owned by the breeders in attendance
shows a total of fifteen hundred, with
an estimated output of eighteen tons
of rabbit meat and nine thousand
pelts a year. Members believe that
by proper attention the industry can
be made to produce fifty tons of
meat yearly and thirty thousand
pelts.
The primary object of the organi.
zation is to educate the public as to
the great food value of rabbit meat
and to supply a market for all the
rabbits that can be grown. In some
of the western States the rabbit in-
dustry runs into hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars and the promoters
of the new organization believe there
is good money ip it if handled prop-
erly.
All individual breeders desiring to
join the association before the State
College meeting should get in touch
with A. B. Cross, secretary, Mill Hall,
Pa., or C. M. Boyer, Boalsburg.
The Logan fire company went
out beyond the Titan Metal company,
at noon on Monday, where a small
underbrush fire was in progress on
the hill to the left, but as it did not
look very dangerous they came into
town and going onto north Water
street tested out the pumper fo see
that it is in good working condition.
