INK SLINGS.
BY GEORGE R. MEEK.
—There certainly was a hot time
in the old town on Armistice day.
Something must have let go. Such
sbullience of spirits was probably
pent-up patriotism, but we've rarely
seen the community so patriotic be-
fore.
—Of course everyone has his or!
ser own notion as to the cause of
the recent Republican debacle in|
Centre county. Ours is that while
the many would-be captain generals
were squabbling over who should
ead the army in battle the privates
aearly all ran and hid.
—Warren Jones, of Lackawanna
rounty, has succeeded Warren F.!
Doane, of Stonehurst, as official let-
ser opener in the Executive Depart-
ment at Harrisburg. He gets five
‘housand a year for it, too. When
Sornelia hears that Giffy has an of-
jcial letter opener she will probably
iave an official can opener at ten
;housand a year appointed for the
uisine of the Executive mansion.
—We'd like to say something
1bout the high dudgeon king Carol, |
»f Rumania, would have the world
selieve he is in because his brother
i
i
‘Nicholas” ran off and married a!
sommoner. We are not going to do

hought of saying would surely sick |
dr. Owen K. Adams, of Lock Hav-
mn, on us again and we haven't got-
en all of our hide back since the!
ast time he skinned us for saying
;omething mean about Carol.
—The Republican State organiza-
jon is reported as being disposed to
hrow no monkey wrenches into the
egislative machinery during the ex-
ra session. Such abstention from
naking all the trouble possible for |
he Governor would certainiy be a
rery popular gesture to those who
hink the Governor is always right.

VOTE FOR SHERIFF IN
MILLHEIM BOROUGH.
e— |
| Recount of Ballots Will be Made To- |
day by Charles F. Cook and G.
Hunter Knisely, of Bellefonte, and
Charles Freeman, of Philipsburg.
Harry V. Keeler is not satisfied
with the official returns of the vote
cast for Sheriff of Centre county
which showed John M. Boob the
winner by two votes and has pe-
titioned the court for a recount of
the votes cast in Millheim, Mr.
Boob's home town. The petition
alleges belief ina “fraud and error,”
and Judge Fleming has issued a
decree ordering a recount to be made
in open court, in the court house,
Bellefonte, this (Friday) afternoon,
the computation board to consist of
Charles F. Cook and G. Hunter
Knisely, of Bellefonte, and Charles
Freeman, of Philipsburg. The pe-
tition for the recount was signed by
three resident voters of Millheim
borough, and while “fraud or er-
ror” is named no specific charges
are noted. Following is the peti-
tion in full:
To the Hon. M. Ward Fleming, Pres-
ident Judge.

ough of Millheim, county of Centre

The Court's decree is as follows:
And now, to wit, November 10th,
A. D. 1931, the within petition bav-
ing been read and after careful con-|
sideration, it is ordered, adjudged
and decreed that the High Sheriff of
Centre county, H. E. Dunlap Esq, is
hereby directed to take into
custody the ballot box and key there-
of used in the borough of Millheim,
Centre county, Pennsylvania, at the
general election held on the 3rd day
of November, A. D, 1931, and that
the Sheriff, in the presence of the
custodian thereof, shall affix his said
seal to said box in addition to the
seal now on said box and shall keep
this ballot box and key safely in his
custody until the 13th day of No-
vember, at 2 o'clock p. m., in the
court room of the Centre county
court house, with all seals intact,
and deliver the key thereof to the
Court.
It is further adjudged and de-
creed that Charles F. Cook, G.Hun-
ter Knisely and Charses E. Freeman
shall constitute a board to recount
the entire vote, and it shall be as-
certained by the Court with the as-
sistance of the above designated per-
sons whether or not fraud or sub-
stantial error was committed in the
computation of the vote cart on the
ballots contained in said hallot box
or fraud in the marking of the bal-
lots contained therein, or otherwise
in connection with such ballots, as
provided by the Act of General As-
Souivly passed the 23rd day of April,
1927.
The Prothonotary is directed to
administer in open Court to the
board the usual oath assumed by
election boards with appropriate ref-
erence to the creation of the board
and the purpose of its appointment.
By the Court
M. WARD FLEMING, P. J.
If the vote in Millheim is found
correct as returned by the election
board there are rumors that other
ballot boxes may be opened on pe-
tition of Keeler. And should an
error be found in Keeler's favor it
is quite possible that Mr. Boob's
supporters will also petition the
court for the opening of one or more
boxes.
— When you find it in the Watch-
man you know it's true.

forced down in a snowstorm at DuBois
late on Friday, after they had flashed
word from Bellefonte they would land at

In the party was English Hirsch, whose
cousin, Charles Barrow, identified with
the Franklin Alrcraft corporation and
himself a pilot with more than 1500
hours’ flying, who married Miss Julia
Henderson at noon Saturday. The three
“Hell-Diver” planes took off from Du-
Bois shortly after daybreak, Saturday
morning, reaching Franklin in time for
breakfast. The young couple went on
a wedding trip to White Sulphur Springs,
Washington and Philadelphia.
—A bright future for Lewisburg is
visioned by officials in charge of con-

Penitentiary, near there. They estimat-
ed that 200 additional homes will be
needed to accommodate the attaches of the
penitentiary who will move their fam-
ilies to Lewisburg. It is also estimated
that at least 100 homes will be required
to accommodate the influx of families
and relatives of those committed to the
institution. “We always find,” one of-
ficial said, ‘‘that wives and families wiil
follow their husbands and fathers when
sent to prson.’” It is expected that a
building boom will be started there next
spring that will greatly increase the pop-
ulation and at the same time increase the
activities in all lines of business.
