Bellefonte stores were crowd-

‘the side-walk congestion was notice-
‘able by its absence.
— At a meeting of the Retail
Druggists’ Association of Centre and
Clearfield counties, held at the Hotel

ly saturated the football field so as
to put it in good shape for Satur-

ed with about an inch of dust but
the good sprinkling it received from

for which Academy officials are ex-
tremely appreciative.
——The iron viaduct over Spring
‘creek and the iron stringers on the
concrete abutment across the Is-
Jand and up the race to the Big
Spring, erected by the George I.
Denithorne Construction company to
‘carry the big 16-inch water pipe, is
a good job, and will no doubt prove
‘very satisfactory to the borough.
"While it will probably be many
years before repairs of any
kind will be necessary to the pipe,
yet if that time ever comes it will
be an easy matter to get at it.

ILL AND DESPONDENT :
C. E. ROBB TAKES OWN LIFE.
Despondent over prolonged ill |
ness, his body racked with pain and
his nerves strained beyond the point
of endurance C. E. Robb, assistant
cashier of the First National Bank
of Bellefonte, took his own life by
shooting himself through the heart,
in the toilet of the bank ‘building, |
about 6:30 o'clock on Sunday eve- |
He had been in poor health for |
a year or more and on Friday eve-
ning returned from a ten day's |
vacation trip into Canada with Ray
Green, as a companion. On Sunday |
afternoon he took a walk out into.
the country with Mr. Green and
about six o'clock he put on his hat
and overcoat and calling his pet dog, |
“Laddie,” called goodbye to his son |
Richard, stating that he and Laddie
were “going down town and are not |
coming back.” The boy told his
mother what his father had said
and hastily donning her wraps she
followed him down town. She saw
him at his desk, writing, and!
knocked on the door but her husband
paid no attention to the knock. Fi-
nally, he left the desk, turned out the
lights and went down to the base-
ment.
Mrs Robb saw the light coming
on in the basement and it was only
a few minutes later that she heard
two or more shots. She then ran to
the home of her brother-in-law, Mark
Williams, and gasped out her tragic
belief that her husband had shot
himself. Mr. Williams went for
Paul Jones, the bank runner, who
was at supper and the three went
back to the bank. Going to
the basement they found the toilet
door locked from the inside and
Williams broke it open with an iron
bar.
Minus overcoat, coat, hat, collar
and tie the body of Mr. Robb was
lying stretched on the floor,
while in the corner of the room laid
the dead body of Laddie. Two shots
had been used on the dog while on-
ly one shot was found in Robb’s
body, and that through the heart,
the bullet passing clear through.
From the way the body lay he had
evidently gotten down on the floor
before firing the fatal shot.
A hurry call was sent for Dr.
Dale who pronounced death as having
been instantaneous. District attorney
John G. Love, as well as all the
bank officials were summoned and
were soon on the scene of the
heart-breaking tragedy. Coroner
W. R. Heaton, of Philipsburg, was
communicated with and after learn-
ing all the details he authorized the
removal of the body.
When Mrs. Robb saw her hus-
band at his desk he was writing a
note to Mr. McCurdy, which was
found later, and which in sub-
stance was as follows:
“When you get this I will be
gone. My accounts in the bank
are all straight. Do what you
can for my boys.”
The note was written in a firm
hand and gave nc evidence of the
mental strain or suffering of the
writer:
Charles Edwa -d Robb was a son
of Henry and Alice Robb and was
born at Nittany on April 2nd, 1878,
hence was in his fifty_third year.
His education was received in the
public schools at Nittany and his
first job was that of a brakemanoaz
the passenger train on the old Cen-
tral Railroad of Pennsylvania. Later
he became agent of the American
Express company, in Bellefonte, go-
ing from that to the Commercial
Telephone company. Twenty-five
years ago he entered the First Na-
tional Bank as a clerk and had
risen to the position of assistant
cashier. He was always courteous
and obliging and was regarded gen-
erally as a shrewd and able banker.
On November 27th, 1907, he mar-
ried Miss Henrietta Pacini who sur-
vives with two sons, Eugene, a stu-
dent at the University of Pennsylva-
nia, Philadelphia, and Richard, at
home. He also leaves his aged
mother, living in Bellefonte, and the
following brothers and sisters: Nel-
son E. Robb, of Bellefonte; Mrs.
Samuel Cole, of Dayton, Ohio; AL
fred G. and L. R. Robb, of Altoona;
Mrs. Thomas Swartz, of Tusseyville;
Mrs. Katherine Miller, of Harris-
burg; Mrs. W. Harrison Walker and
Mrs. Mark Williams, of Bellefonte.
Funeral services were held at his
late home in the Baum apartment,
at 10 o'clock on Wednesday morn-
ing, by Rev. W. C. Thompson, burial
being made in the Union cemetery.
CHRISTMAS SEALS HAVE
ARRIVED IN BELLEFONTE.
Mrs. Charles R. Kurtz, chairman
of the Tuberculosis Seals commit-
tee, has received a consignment of
140,000 yuletide seals for Bellefonte
and surrounding towns. The little
penny stickers will be mailed on
November 28th for the 24th year

CENTRE. COUNTY BOY
SCORES HIGH IN JUDGING:
The vocational dairy judging
team selected from the pupils of
vocational schools, representing
Pennsylvania at the National Dairy
Show held annually in St. Louis, has
returned home after having won
considerable honor.
Fred Bohn, a student in the Har-
ris township vocational school,
Boalsburg, was a member of the
team. The other two members were
Kermit Peterson, of Cochranton, and
William ‘Smith, of Guy Mills, Craw-
ford county.
The Pennsylvania boys won na-
tional recognition in milk judging
by placing 8th, 9th and 13th, which
gave the team first place. In this
contest there were 19 teams entered.
The Pennsylvania boys placed as
follows. Fred Bohn, 8th; Kermit
Peterson, 9th, and William Smith,
13th.
In addition to winning in milk
judging the boys placed second, as
a team, in the Jersey cattle class
in which 32 teams from as many
States were entered. This time
Smith and Bohn were well up to-
ward the head of the list.
A judging team in order to place
among winners must have its mem-
bers consistently placing high. Judg-
ing from the above, the Pennsylva-
nia boys were in the front rank.
The people of Crawford and Cen-
tre counties should feel justly proud
of the very fine record the three
toys have made. In the first place,
to make a team that represents
the entire State is no small job, but
to be able to win in the national
cntest, as these boys have done,
shows natural ability, as well
school work and very fine coach-
ing.
It also shows the benefits a boy
may derive from vocational agricul
ture, for these boys have receiv-
ed their training in judging in their
respective agricultural schools.
Edwin H. Dale, supervisor of
agriculture in the Harris
school, accompanied the
St. Louis and was in charge of their
wo:k just prior to the national
contest. Mr. Dale gave the team
special instructions in milk judging.
The two boys from Crawford coun-
ty were trained by D. L. Crum,
ccunty vocational supervisor of that
county.
Mr. Dale reports that they hada
very fine trip, driving some 1900
miles. They made it possible for
the group to see considerable of the
middle west as well as many indi-
vidual points of interest.
The Chamber of Commerce of St.
Louis provided all entertainment for
the boys while in that city. J
4 HORSES, 18 HEAD CATTLI
PERISHED IN BARN FIRE.
Four horses, eleven milk cows and
seven head of young cattle perished
in a fire which completely destroy-!
ed the barn on the Harry Janet
farm, at Plum Grove, in Union
township, at about 11:30 o’clock Sat-
urday night. In addition Mr. Janet
lost 126 bushels of rye, 140 bushels
of oats, 40 bushels of wheat, his
crop of buckwheat, 15 tons
and his entire potato crop, estimated
at between six and seven hundred
bushels. He had just finished rais-
ing his potatces, on Saturday after-
coon, and had them piled on the
barn floor for sorting. While he
does not know exactly the number
of bushels in the pile he estimated
the value of the crop at a thousand
dollars.
In addition to the above some of
his farm implements were also
burned.
Mr. Janet estimates his loss in
excess of $8,000, on which he had
but $500 insurance. He was planning
to take out more insurance but had
been so busy getting in his potato
crop that he had not gotten around
to it.
How the fire originated is not
known. Mr. Janet went to the barn
at 9:30 o'clock in the evening to see
that his stock was all right and at
that time there was mo evidence of
fire. Neighbors discovered the blaze
about 11:30 but by the time they
arrived on the scene and aroused
the Janet family the entire barn was
a mass of flames so that it was im.
possible to tell where the fire start-
ed. Mr. Janet, however, believes it
was set on fire.

sociation extends a kind invitation

| TEACHER’S INSTITUTE
as |
experience gained from agricultural
township
team to
of hay
IS LARGELY ATTENDED.
In the neighborhood of 370 school
teachers are in Bellefonte this week
attending the 66th annual institute,
being held~in the court house. Coun-
ty superintendent F. G. Rogers is
the presiding officer.
The initial talk, on Monday after-
noon, was by Dr. W. D. Henderson,
of the University of Michigan, who
discussed the theme of modern science
and the changing order. The speak-
facing the world today are inter-
national relations, communism, fac-
cism, taxation, ‘unemployment and
conduct. Greater changes are now
taking place than at any time in
the world’s history. He assigned
as a cause for these changes the
amazing scientific discoveries and
inventions.
The next speaker was Dr. James
P. Whyte, of Bucknell University.
who talked on “Gaining Dominion.”
In part he said: “What we teach
is going to determine the advance
in the years to come. The success
of the teacher depends upon not
how much he teaches, but on how
much he gets across.”
"After the regular devotional and
musical period, on Tuesday morning,
Dr. Whyte talked on “Your Voice—
Asset or Liability.” Children are
impressed by the tone of your voice.
Smooth down the raw tones. In
speaking the voice ought to be well
placed. Take your intimate voice
to school and use it on your pupils.
The secret of good teaching is to
put into your voice the best that is
in you, in a tone filled with kind-
ness.
Dr. Henderson followed with a
talk on play, work and drugery.
It is as natural for the child to
‘play as it is for the vKiften. It
should be natural for the man and
woman to work. Play comes as
the natural response to the desire
for activity. One can play in any
kind of work and they can also
make it drudgery.
Sectional meetings were also held
in the High school building, on
Tuesday morning, as well as in the
afternoon.
At the regular session in the
court house, Tuesday afternoon, Dr.
Henderson talked on “The Iron Man
in the Changing World.” We Amer-
icans are not only the greatest sci-
entists in the world, but we are also
the greatest inventors. The auto-
matic machine is digging our ditches,
plowing our ground, sewing our
grain, reaping the harvest and bak-
ing our bread. All the world has
gone into the automatic machine
business.
| Talking on the topic “The Will to
Work,” at the Wednesday morning
session Dr. Henderson said it de.
pended on two things,” inherited
| habit and acquired habit. Men work
because of economic pressure and
students because of social pressure.
Henry Klonower, of the Teachers’
Bureau, Harrisburg, who was to
“have occupied a period on Wed-
nesday morning, was ill and unable
to be present and Dr. Henderson
| substituted with a talk on profes-
sional responsibility.
Wednesday afternoon Dr. Whyte
discussed “Self, Then Service.” The
problem is not getting the job but
sitting on top of it, said the speak-
er. We give what we are and any
investment we make in our selves
‘will never fail.
| Another speaker of the afternoon
, was Miss Helena McCray, who dis-
cussed women’s work andthe place
‘she has taken in the world of busi-
‘ness.
| The institute will close with this
| (Friday) morning’s session.
BOROUGH COUNCIL
HELD SHORT SESSION.
| Only six members were present at
{the regular meeting of borough
| council, on Monday evening, and it
{was the shortest session held this
‘year. There were no verbal nor
written communications.
| The Street committee reported
| trimming trees, burning leaves,
i minor repairs and a check from
Harry C. Taylor for $75.00 for a
| sewer tap on east Linn street. The
committee also presented a written
permit from Claude Poorman for
digging a cesspool on his property
on east Hward street to take care

STATE COLLEGE PROFESSOR
DIES OF HEART FAILURE.
Dr. William Day Crockett, 61
years old and for twenty-four years
a member of the faculty at State
College, died of heart failure, Sun-
day morning, following a collapse
from over-exertion in an attempt
to save his library when his home
caught fire and was threatened with
destruction. The library was on the
"third floor of the house and Dr.
Crocket had made several trips car-
rying out his precious books when
{ he suddenly collapsed. He was car-
i ried into the home of Prof. J. A.
Ferguson where he died shortly af-
terwards. :
Dr. Crockett was internationally
known as a co-author and in recent
years as the author of “Satchel
Guide to Europe.” Professor Crockett

duties to devote all of his time to
teaching. He was awarded a doctor
of philosophy degree by Temple
University and was a fellow of the
Royal Geographical Society.
Funeral services were held at the
College, on Tuesday afternoon, after

LOCAL FOOTBALL TEAMS
LOSE SATURDAY GAMES.
The Bellefonte Academy football
team lost to the Bucknell Freshmen,
on Hughes field, Saturday afternoon,
by the score of 7 to 0, and it was
only through getting the breaks in
the game that the visitors made
their only score. Two penalties in-
flicted on the Academy put the ball
within striking distance. Unable
to push the ball over on four downs
Bucknell lined up in kicking for.
mation but instead heaved a forward
pass which was safely caught be-
hind the goal line. At no other
time did they get within the danger
mark of the Academy goal. Twice
the Academy advanced the ball
across the twenty yard line at the
Bucknell end but each time was
held for downs.
The Bellefonte High school lost its
game with Mount Union, on Hughes
field Saturday morning, by the
score of 25 to 0. Up to this time
the High school has not scored a
point in the five games played, but
the team has not lost it's nerve.
At Easton, last Saturday, Penn
State played a scoreless game with
Lafayette, to the surprise of foot-
ball fans who had picked State to

CHATTERTON AND BROOK
AT THE RICHELIEU
The embattled lovers who stormed
their way through ‘The Laughing
Lady” and “Charming Sinners” will
be seen again in another dramatic
thunderbolt “Anybody’s Woman’.
In case you haven't guessed their
names Ruth Chatterton and Clive
Brook are the struggling pair of
lovers. The reason why they have
been selected again for the teamed
roles in a dramatic production is
that they seem to be the ideal
couple for the type of play they are
cast in. Each a splendid portrayer
of characters, they never fail to
impress public and critics alike with
their very capable playing.
The supporting cast includes Paul
Lukas, suave continental personality
who scored successes in “The Wolf
of Wall Street,” “Halfway to Heav-
en,” “The Devil's Holiday,” and
Young Eagles”; Tom Patricola, song
and dance comedian of the Broad-
way musicals; Cecil Cunningham,
international star of the music comedy
and variety stages; Huntly Gordon,
featured in “The Marriage Play-
ground,” and others.
The display room of Half
Moon Gardens has been remodeled
and anew and larger show window
put in. The change has made an
already attractive front even more
so.
