WETZEL, Bellefonte THE BEST MAN FOR JUDGE, The November election will afford the opportunity to voters to select the pest and strongest man for Judge. That is the resson the law requires candidates to run on a8 non-parrisan ticket. Who is the best man for Judge? It is no discredit to Henry Quigley or any other lawyer at our bar to say that in comparison with Judge Orvie, none of them equal him in knowledge of the law and judicial temperament. He ls an ideal Judge in every respect. Re- versed only once in ten years, no other Judge in the state can show s better record. Why not keep him on the bench ? Bome people say one term Is enough, but if we cannot select his equal in ability and fitness, why take a chance on an untried and ipexperi- enced lawyer, without any reputation as an attorney and practitioner among the members of the bar. Ask the twenty-seven !awyers of our bar who is beat fitted to succeed the present Judge—they will respond unaoimous- ly, Judge Orvis. Ask the business people who is their choice of Judge—they will answer, Judge Orvis. Ask the people who have atiended courts off and op, for the past ten years, whois the sblest and fairest lawyer for judge; they will answer there is only one choice—Judge Orvie. ——— i —————— Farmers’ Institutes, The Department of Agriculture st Harrisburg has fixed the dates for the Farmers’ Institutes in Centre county as follows : Millbeim, Monday and Tuesday, December 15th and 14th, Pine Grove Mille, Wednesday and Thursday, December 15th and 16th.

The Bell Telephone exchange in Centre Hall was moved a few days ago from the Kreemer store bullding where it had been located for a nu - ber of yeare, to its Dew quarters above the post office, in the Reporter bulld- ing. The work of moving the electri- cal apparatuses wae done with such cor- rectness that the Bell's patrons “Mid not auffer for want of service for one moment, A new switch board wae in- stalled in the new exchange room and connections made therewith as soon us they were s vered from the old ons. The new home of the exchange wes built in sccord with the Bell com- pany ’s instructions and every conve pience for the benefit of the operators ie at hand, in readiness for the handling of the cowm- pany’s increasing businese, due largely to the development of telephony in the strictly rural sectionr, apd in a rush two operators can be put on duty. The local exchange employs regu- larly four operators and one supply ; namely, Misses Edna Murray, Coldror, Lena Emerick, Verna Howe, aud Mary Whitemar., All are most obligiog and prompt in snswer, ing calle, consequently the service as given bere Is of the best possible kind. In connection with this little ipe'- dent of improving exchaoge quarters, a bit of Bell history of a local charac- ter may be of interest to readers of the Reporter, many of whom are patrons of the Bell Company. It was in 1878 that the Bell company established an exchange in the county seat, and five years later, in June, 1883, a siogle cb cuit was run to Centre Hall sud on to Potters Mills. The first patrons ob this line were Dr, J, F. Alexander and The Centre Reporter, at Ha'l, snd Allison Brotbere, at Potters Mille. It was only a short time until the pec- ple of Penns Valley became alive to the benefits of the telephone, and con- sequently circuit after circuit was added to scwmmodate patrons until the valley be- came sn burden to the Bellefonte ex- change, and this resulied in the e:- tablishing of an exchapge at Centre Hall. Lines were then run to Npriog Mills and Potters Mille. The exter- to Lewistown over Beven Mountisins was built in 1855, The organizing of a lceal telephone company, combined with the United Telephone and Telegraph Cox - pany, for a short time stood in the way of the Bell's branching oul io Penna Valley, brt its faithful service and ever readiness of I's cflicisls to meet the demands of the public brought to it business of a local charac- ter that had a, wide influence, Refel- ence is bere made to the very elaborate scheme adopted by the Bell company to sccommodate rural telephone lines, Upon the organization of the Patrons Rural Telephone Company, a Centre County Pomons Grange enterprise, early in 1908, its officers began lo cast about for a company with established exchanges (0 handle its business under reasonable conditions and at resson- able rater, Fully alive to ita own ip- terestr, the Bell company offered rates and sccommodations amply sdejuate and on belog sccepted in many ways aided in bailding up this local com- pany, which now hss three bundred and fifty telephones under ils system, all of which sre directly connected with the Bell company’s various ex- changes throughout Centre county. This move gave an impetus to Bell business and today it has practically sll the business on the south side of Cer- tre county, having on the Centre Hall exchange a total of two hundred and fifty-seven patrons, Two switehboarda are Resale five Centre sion the now ———— A SE To Escort Governor's Pirty To-day, The Bilate College Motor club will drive to the Blair-Huntingdon- enter line this ( Thursday } mornin act as an escort to Governor Bru and party through the county lo the Clinton county line and will perhaps sccompany the touriste as far ss Look Haver.
