VOL. LXXXIX. “PENNSYLVANIA DAY AT EHADOW LAWN)?” Pennsylvania Demooranoy Will Visit Presi. dent Wilson on Saturday, October 14th, Special Trains Wii Uarry Big Delega- tions With Bands Speech by the Presi dent, At a recent Democratic gathering at Harrisburg a proposition was made that the loyal Democracy of Pennsyl- vania unite in a trip to ‘ Bhadow Lawp,” the summer home of Presi- dent Wilson, on the New Jersey coast, The suggestion was received with much enthusiasm, and a motion to that effect was unanimously adopted. All present pledged their hearty co- operation to make the trip a notable event. Bioce then the Democratic National Committee has set apart Baturday, October 14th, as ‘‘ Pennsylvania Day at Shadow Lawn.” President Wilson has expressed his approval of the op- portuuity to meet and greet ,the Demo- cracy of Pennsylvania ; he also will show appreciation of his guests, whose representatives were so largely ipstru- mental in securing his nomination at Baltimore in 1912, by delivering a specially prepaied address on this oc- casion, A program of exercises is being pre- pared for the day which will include the presence of other prominent Demo~ orate, At this time definite arrangements have not been completed, but there ls assurance of delegations from every county in the state. Acting chairman Joseph F. Guffey is arran ing for a special train from Pittsburgh to sc- commodate Democratic delegations from the Western part of the state. A large uniformed club with band will go from Harrisburg. Easton, Allen- towp, Reading, etc., will send large delegations headed by the famous Ailentown band. Bpecial trains will leave Broad Btreet Station ( fare $3.10 with at least a thousand enthusiastic Wilson rooteie. Bpecialeftort is being made to sssemble the Pennsylvania Delega'es to the famous Faltimore Convention in 1912 who will be ac- corded position of honor in the parade at ‘Shadow Lawp.” Definite information will be given later as to traine, rates, and details of program for the day. Bince Pennsylvania figured so promi- nently in producing a great President, and now has a Pennsylvania Demc- crat as National Chairman directing this campaigno, it is appropriate that ‘ Pennsylvania Day at Shadow Lawn’ on October 14:h ve a notable event, A SS Ine Molent Government, ( From speech by A. Mitchell Palmer at Harris - burg. ) It bas been charged that the Wilson Administration is inefficient. Mr. Hughes would be laughed at if he made that statement in Pennsylvania, because we Know what inefficiency le in this state. Congress appropriate neariy $2,000,000,000, but $800,000,000 is for national defense, a proposition sup- ported regardless of party. Despite this great expenditure, Washington is as solvent as it ever wae, and every dollar of expense has been provided for. Mar. Hughes, we invite you to take a lesson in efficiency ; also a les- son in in«flciency. For eflicient government go to Washington. For inefficient government, come to Har risburg, where the State Treasurer has given notice that the State is financial- ly broken-—bankrupt, Hospitale, char- ities and other deserving institutions are unpaid. The inattention to Pennsylvania government business has no parallel in all the American Commonwealthe. Last fall and winter, instead of being at the Biate capitol earniog his $10,- 000 salary, our Governor was busy iu politice, and making a grotesque exhibition of himself by being a candi- date for president of the United States --not a candidate with the hope or purpose of being elected, but to help one contractor boss in Philadelphia to beat the Machine of another coniract- orbose. In June he hied himself to the Maine woods, and remained there until within the past 10 daye. Now dos he stay home to attend to the duties of his office? No, he gets up a Jjsunting party, usiog 100 sutomobiles and a pile of gasoline the State must find a way to pay for, aud goes about the Btate preaching sgriculture, IVs a poor compliment to farmers to take instruction from a man who knows no more about farming than be does about government. ———— A A ————— The first killing frosts hkipped » section about Centre Hall, Along the railroad everything about Centre Hall snd north to the mountalo was green until Gregg station was reached, but from there to Bellefonte Jack finished up all vegetation he controle.

Mr. Auman and Brupge Btover, of Millheimw, escaped serious injury or possible death oniy because of the substantially constructed top of the auto. The truck was being used to trans- port the last lot of household furniture and some odds and ends, including a crate of live poultry, from Millbeim to Pine Grove Mille, where Mr. Auman operates a flouring mill. Upon round- ing the turn near the spring young Btover, who was steering the car, turned over the wheel to Mr, Auman while the former lighted » cigar, In an instant the machine turned sharply to the left and down over the embank- ment for a distance of ten feet, turn- ing completely over. The heavy iron rods supporting the top, and the furpi- ture, served to keep the heavy machine from crushing down upon the men and snuffiog out their livee, Mr. Stover was held fast by the steer- ing wheel, while Mr. Auman was more fortunate in having plenty of space under the top to work himself out. Sheriff Yarnell, in passing by, stopped and assisted in rescuing Mr, Stover, Neither man was Ivjured to the sligutest degree, Lhe car was damaged to the extent of baving the front sxle bent, the fiont fenders badly dinged, the steer- log apparatus put out of commission, the wind shield broken and the top smashed. About $100 will cover the damage done. Help was secured from State College to get the macuine onto the road, and then it was towed to a nearby gargge for repairs. Leased the Kream er Old Suand, C. M. Bmith, who for the past two years has conducted a general store at Coburn, was in town Monday to negotiate for the leasing of the store- room formerly occupied by Kreamer & Sov, from the lceal Oud Feliow lodge. Mr. Smith will transfer his store goods from Coburn snd following the closing out of the stock at the Kreamer stand, by Brisbin & Bartholomew, will open an up-to-date genersi store. Mr. Smith is « young man of large experience lo the buying and selling game and for a number of years was a traveling salesman for a large dry goods house. He will make a most excellent citizen and business man snd the Reporter wishes him succees in js undertaking. ——————— A —— ocal Stadents OF for Vollege aad Normal, The pest week witnessed the de- parture of a number of Centre Hall's young people for college and normal echocls, some to begin their first year’s work while a few are looking forward to their graduation next June, The list is as follows : Ralph E.
