~The 28th annual Centre county
fair is going on this week under
most auspicious circumstances.
There are 947 different exhibits un.
der 45 classes. The attendance on
Wednesday was only 3000, not near.
ly what it should have been as a re.
ward for all the trouble that has
been taken to give us a good fair.
Wednesday morning there were
corn husking matches, wood sawing
contests, hurdle races and a greased
pig catching contest. In the after-
noon a velocipede race, archery
contest, leap frog, jumping, vault-

PRETTY SILVER WEDDING
CELEBRATED SATURDAY
Monday's Altoona Tribune contain-
ed the following news item that will
be of interest to Bellefonte readers
‘of the Watchman:
A pretty celebration of a silver
i wedding anniversary occurred Sat-
; urday night in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank M. Derstine, 1005 Broad-
way, Thirteenth ward. The well
| known superintendent of the Kline
i brothers department store and his
charming wife entertained some two
score close friends and associates in
St. Paul’s Reformed church in Juni-
ata in delightful memory of the
event that occurred 25 years ago in
Bellefonte.
September 28, 1904, Mr. Derstine
land Miss Lera V. Donachy were
united in marriage by the Rev. Mr.
Hollowell, Lutheran pastor in Belle-
fonte. The
where Mr. Derstine has become
identified with the business life of
Altoona. Sixteen years ago they oc-
1
‘cupied the pleasant home in Juniata
where three sons, Gilbert, Franklin
M. and Samuel A., have been reared
and where both husband and wife
are prominently associated with the.
progress and social life of their com-
munity. r :
The affair Saturday was very
pleasing and the host and hostess
were warmly felicitated by the
friends who spent several hours de-
lightfully in their home. The “bride”
renewed memories of the honeymoon
in her wedding dress of white crepe
de chine with duchesse and rose lace
that is a family heirloom and Mr.
Derstine played well the part of a
bridegroom in the echoes of wedding
bells. Mrs. Derstine received a num-
ber of gifts in silver and she made
the anniversary date memorable to
her lady guests with favors of wrist
bouquets and embroidered handker-
chiefs. }
A luncheon was served. Among
the pleasures of the night were a solo.

paniment by Mrs. J. L. Noll, and read.

PERTINENT ITEMS FROM
WARNER-AMERICAN NEWS
The Warner-American News for
September contains two pictures of:
the Bellefonte employees picnic which
was held at Hecla park on August
24th, also a number of interesting
news items in the “Bellefonte Blasts”
of George C. Bingaman, from which
we cull the following:
Lowery Justice has retired from
active duty after serving 89 years in
| the employ of the company. He
leaves a fine record of service behind
him and should enjoy to the fullest
a vacation so well earned.
Miles Barr left on September 1tth
on a two week’s vacation, making a
trip to Pittsburgh and a boat voyage
down the Ohio river.
Cap Koski has returned from his
vacation spent in Michigan where he
visited Henry Ford's oil mine and re-
ports that Henry could learn a few
things by spending several days in
the Bellefonte mine.
Katherine Hampton, daughter of
Stewart Hampton, was married in
Cumberland, Md., on September 9th
to Steve Zelenik, of Philadeiphia,

1000 TONS OF MELTED ICE
POURED INTO OUR SEWERS
Bellefonte poured 1000 tons of
melted ice down .the drain pipes of
its refrigerators during the last year
without its housewives getting any
good from it.
This amazing figure, arrived at by
the Leonard Institute of Food Pres-
ervation, is the annual ice waste in
Bellefonte due to faulty refrigera-
tion. It is based on a survey of ice
meltage. in Rochester, N. Y., showing
a per capita waste of 500 pounds of
ice. The American public is literally
pouring water into a sieve, the wa-
ter being in the form of ice and the
sieve being the leaky uninsulated
refrigerator that does not keep out’
‘hot air.
In selecting a refrigerator, one
with neither the minimum nor maxi-
mum ice meltage should be chosen,
according" to the Leonard Institute.
The refrigerator that consumes the
most ice is, naturally, too costly to
keep filled and will not maintain the
desired temperature of 50 degrees or
~ less, while the oné that consumes the
least ice probably has faulty circu-
lation and will not do its job of
keeping the food in perfect state of
preservation. A reasonable rate of
ice meltage is essential to keeping
food good. The ice should never be
covered with a blanket or paper to
retard its melting.

RUSH TOWNSHIP TO
HAVE BEAVER REFUGE
A few years ago when the State
Board of Game Commissioners de- '
cided to restock the forest areas of
the State with that valuable fur ani-
mal, the beaver, they little thought
that the day would come so soon when
they would become a menace to
property holders. But such is al-
ready the case and as a means of
curbing the depredations of the ani.
mals a refuge is being established in
Rush township where the “outlaws”
will be kept until they can be dis. !
tributed in those sections of the
State where there are no beaver now.
The refuge will be a tract of four
acres on Tomtit run, adjoining the
present game refuge. It will be en-
tirely enclosed with a heavy wire
fence so as to prevent the beavers
from escaping. Work on the refuge
began on Monday. When it is com-
into the wooded sections of the State
where the beaver are now becoming
so plentiful as to be a nuisance, and
they will be trapped and taken to the
refuge where they will be kept until
new homes have been found for them.

Florida may be all right dur-
ing winter but it is altogether too

MOLASSES FEED MIXER
AT WAGNER’S MILL.
C. Y. Wagner & Co. are installing
a molasses feed mixer in their mill
at this place and will soon be in
shape to give farmers and dairymen
any kind of a mixture they desire.
Dairy husbandry specialists advise a
molasses mixture as among the best
feeds for dairy cattle and other farm
stock, and it is to give the farmers
just what they desire in this line that
the mixer is being installed.
Farmers and dairymen can take
the percentage of the different kinds
of grain to the mill which they de-
sire to use and have it mixed ac-
cording to their own feeding ideas.
