"LEST WE FORGET."
In 1917, when the flower of the young manhood of Centre
county was marching away to fight battles that were just as much
ours as theirs we patted them on the back, clasped hands and pledg-
ed everlasting gratitude to them.
It seemed years that they were gone.
gone forever, and when those who went through that inferno in
France returned we were "overwhelmed with joy. We were so
grateful for what they had done that with one voice, almost, we told
them that nothing was too much to ask in payment for the service
they had rendered us.
One of that little army that went out
the dark days of 1917 is now asking you to
county he went to fight for. He is too good a soldier to be asking
you to repay him with your vote. But he deserves it just the
same; especially so, since he is splendidly qualified to fill the office,

is a man with high moral standards and one who has earned the es- |
teem of the entire community in which he lives.
Whether he likes it or not we are going to ask
his appeal for your support from another angle. We ask you to
carry yourself back fourteen years, when you enter the voting
booth, on November 3rd, and when you see John M. Boob’s name
in the block set apart for candidates for Sheriff of the county,
prove to yourself that you are not one of the kind who forgets.
Prove to this honorable, wounded soldier candidate that in 1031
you haven't forgotten the sense of gratitude you felt in 1917.

—Judge James B. Drew, a Republican, has won the Democratic
nomination for Judge of the Supreme Court. That is, the returns
from Allegheny county gave him a majority over Charles F. Uhl,
Democrat, of Somerset county. Since we believe that the returns
from Allegheny county cheated Eddie Beidleman out of his chance
to be Governor and gave it to John Fisher and since we believe that
the returns from Allegheny county cheated John Hemphill out of
the position Gifford Pinchot now fills the Watchman will not accept
the verdict of such a corrupt district as evidence that the real Dem-
ocrats of Pennsylvania prefer a Republican to a loyal member of
their own party as their candidate for Supreme Court Judge.

—About the only peg the trifling opposition to Robert F. Hunt-
er's candidacy for County Treasurer has found to hang an argument
on is that he is rich and doesn’t need the office. Mr. Hunter isn't
rich. He never was rich. More than that we happen to know
that within the past few years he has been hit very hard by having
had to pay several large obligations on which others defaulted. But
what if he were rich? Would that be any reason why a man who
has given so unselfishly of his time and substance for the good of
the county should not hold one of its offices? This thing of saying
that a candidate should be elected because he needs the office is all
blah. The fact that he does need it might very well be the best
reason why it would be unwise to give it to him. County offices
would be costly to taxpayers if they were to be filled with mental
derelicts and business failures. If Mr. Hunter were worth a mil-
lion dollars and wanted to be Treasurer of Centre county there
would be no real reason why his ambition should not be gratified,
because he has done enough for the county and is eminently fitted
for the office.

—The Hon. Richard Beamish, Secretary of the Commonwealth,
has finally landed five voting machines in Philipsburg, Centre
County. We believe voting machines cost about eleven hundred
dollars each so that “Dick's” interest in the county will cost our tax
payers about six thousand dollars. The law is very plain. Our
Member, the Hon. Holmes, voted for it. Phili sburg voted to have
machines and the law provides that when the
refuse to obey
may step in and act in their stead. Mr. Beamish doesn’t pay any
taxes in Centre county and he is not supposed to know that those
who do are in no position to have another penny added to the bur-
den they are bearing now. It does seem like an outrageous imposi-
tion at this time, but it might serve a good purpose in bringing our
people nearer to an understanding of the dangers of centralizing the
control of their local affairs in Harrisburg.
time when they can afford to adopt them. Never should authority
have been given to an outside bureaucrat to be the overlord of our
County Commissioners.
~Mr. Walter S. Gifford, national relief director, thinks that all
that is necessary to restore prosperity is for everybody to turn in and
buy something. Isn't that a brainy idea?
the wherewithal can't buy anything. Besides,
lost sight of the fact that only simpletons buy for the fun of it.
The Farm Board bought wheat last year with the silly idea that
that would help the farmers. The Farm Board has the wheat still
and the farmers—well, they ought to get the axe for these colleges
and scientists who have been teaching them how to make two blades
of grass grow where one once did.

From all reports the nut crop is
unusually large this year—chest-
nuts, hickory nuts, walnuts and the
ordinary run of street nuts.
And speaking of chestnuts, they
are quite plentiful in Bellefonte
markets now, if one is willing to
pay the price, but they are not
Pennsylvania grown. They are
from the mountains of West Vir-
ginia, are of good size and quality
with probably just as many wormy
‘ones as the usual run of chestnuts.
Chestnut trees in this State are re-
covering from the blight which
proved so destructive for a number
of years and young trees are begin-
ning to grow nuts again, but it will
be some years before anything like
a fair crop can be expected.
Bellefonte barbers are all back to
the old-time price of 25 cents fora
hair cut and 15 cents a shave.
The fox, the mink, weasel, musk-
rat and the lowly skunk will prob-
ably live in comparative ease and
safety during the coming winter.
Their pelts are worth so little in
the fur market now that trapping
them will be a poor way to make a
living. While Centre county is not
regarded as much of a fur region it
lis a fact, not generally known, that
it's fur trade for some years past
has yielded trappers anywhere from
$4,000 to $10,000.
An announceemnt from the United
States Treasury says that there
were $193,000,000 more in circula-
tion in September than in August
and the per capita has increased
$1.54 in one month. That reads
good but it will be pretty hard to

i A Claren:c woman is under bond
(for her appearance at the next term

/the prosecutor is another woman.
In the early history of America a
common scold was regarded as a
serious offender and was punished by
being placed in stocks and given a
certain number of lashes, according
to the degree of the offense.
‘punishment, however, is not likely
to be meted out to the Clarence

western counties of Pennsylvania a

In Fayette county, this State,
milk is selling for five cents the
quart, principally because so many
people have been out of work that
that is all they can afford to pay.
Bellefonte residents are paying ten
cents a quart for miik and sixty
‘cents a quart for cream. And that
brings up the thought of the bor-
ough milk ordinance passed by
council early in 1929. Prior to the
of the ordinance the price
of milk was ten cents a quart and
cream forty-eight cents. When the
ordinance became effective prices
went up to twelve cents for milk
‘and sixty cents for cream. Early
| this summer milk was reduced but
| there was no reduction in the price
|of cream. But we're not knocking
at the price. What we would like
|to know, however, is, are we get-

than we did before the milk ordi-
{nance was passed?
