THE NEW RACKET
No. 9-11 Crider's Exchange, Bellefonte.
After reading all advertisements, it is
no wonder if U could hardly make up
your mind, as to the best place to do
your shopping in Bellefonte. But if be-
fore buying U make it a point to drop in
at The New Racket, U will have no trou-
ble to decide, A glance will convince
U that U are in a modern store, differing
in many important particulars from any
store in Centre Co. As to prices, we set
the pace, and if any store in the town
matches ‘em, its all they care to do. Re-
member advertised prices are not always
low. An article said to be reduced from
69 to 3%¢, may be 25 or 35% value

TWO FINGERS TORN OFF,
Alex MeCoy Meets With a Serious Accident
While Feeding na Corn Husker
On Monday afternoon Mr. Alex Me-
Coy, of Potters Mills; met with a seri-
ous accident and lost two fingers by
getting them caught in a corn husk-
{ ing machine.
The machine had been set up on his
premises Monday morning and Mr.
McCoy was feeding the husker. In
some manner his left hand was caught
and the two last fingers drawn into
| the rolls. He had a glove on the hand
{ and the rolls catching the tips drew
the hand in. By a superhuman eflort
| he succeeded in pulling the hand out
of the machine but not before
fingers had been torn off’ at the third
| joint, the flesh being torn and lacerat-
| ed almost to the wrist.
| Dr. MeGeehon, of Centre Hall,
hurriedly summoned and dressed the
injury. He was compelled to ampu-
fore the wound could be dressed, and
