observed in Bellefonte. The banks, post-
office and most of the stores were
elosed.
——Bellefonte mills are now paying
$1.10 for red wheat delivered, and $1.05
for white wheat. This is the highest
price in a number of years.
——Miss Ruth Wetzel recently re-
signed her position as deputy for county
freasurer John D. Miller and is now
teaching school in Howard township.
—Only three members of borough
eouncil reported for the regular meeting
on Monday evening, and as this number
did not constitute a quorum no session
was held.
——Tibbens Zubler was last week ap-
pointed postmaster at Spring Mills, he
having stood highest in the civil service
examination recently taken by aspirants
for that office.
——A civil service examination will
Be held in Bellefonte on September 26th
to secure qualified applicants for post-
master at Rebersburg. The office last
year paid $420. :
——Hundreds of students have already
arrived at State College preliminary to
the opening next Thursday, though the
general in-rush will not begin until the
middle of next week. :
——Mr. and Mrs. Philip Waddle are
mourning the death of a little baby
daughter, who died at the Bellefonte hos-
pital shortly after noon on Monday, or
less than ten hours after birth.
—Over one thousand people attended
the P. O. S. of A. picnic at Hecla park on
Monday. While it was mainly a Clinton
eounty gathering quite a number of Cen-
ire county people were among the crowd.
——Mrs. Mollie L. Valentine is offer-
ing at private sale, at her home on west
High street, all her household gouds. |
Would be purchasers will be shown these
furnishings, any time they may call dur-
ing the day.
—Rev. R. W. Illingsworth, who recently
resigned as general secretary of the Ty-
sone Y. M. C.' A, has accepted a position
as traveling agent for the Royal Arca-
num, in the interest of the insurance
feature of that organization.
——~Considerable
Been made throughout Centre county,
but so far very little of the amber fluid
Ras been offered for sale in Bellefonte;
but the indications are that there will be
plenty of it before the season ends.
}|=—0n Wednesday a young man by
the name of Raymond ‘Flake arrived in
Bellefonte from Philadelphia and averred
that he came here to complete his edu-
cation ‘at the Bellefonte High school.
Verily ‘the’ High school’s reputation is
quite extensive. .
—The Grangers in their forty-first
annual picnic and encampment at Grange
park, Centre Hall, will be the object of
attraction for the people of Centre coun-
ty next week. If the weather is as fa-
vorable as it was last week for the fair
big crowds should be in attendance every
day. .
——During the month of August the
Centre county commissioners paid out as
bounties on noxious animals the sum of
$743. The amount paid out for June
was $1,098, and for July $875.50, making
$2,716.50 for three months. At the same
ratio it will take almost eleyen thousand
dollars to pay bounties for one year.
——~Quite a number of people who had
exhibits of fruit and vegetables at the
€entre county fair presented the same to
the Bellefonte hospital at the conclusion
of the fair. All the fruit, vegetables and
flowers contributed to the Harvest Home
celebration in the Reformed church on
Sunday were also given to: the hospital.
——Paul Reed, the well known propri-
etor of the Reed house at Osceola Mills,
last week purchased the good will and
furnishings of the Dimeling hotel at
Clearfield and expects to assume charge
of the same about October first. Mr.
Reed has had considerable experience in
the hotel business and will no doubt put
the Dimeling in the A No. 1 class in cen-
tral Pennsylvania.
—Bellefonte’s applications for State
aid in rebuilding Water and Willowbank
streets to the borough line, and Bishop,
Spring and the old pike south to the bor-
ough line have not yet been acted upon
by the State Highway Department. Had
. they not been held up so long before be-
ing sent in in the Spring. the probability
is that both streets would have been re-
built by this time.
——R. B. Taylor this week missed a
nice contract for a state-aid road because
he forgot to sign his name to his bid. The
Highway Department asked bids for
10,198 feet of brick block road in North
Sewickley township, Beaver county.
Eleven bids were submitted and opened
on Tuesday and Mr. Taylor's bid of $44,-
900 was the lowest one, and @bolit ten
thousand dollars lower than the highest,
but because he forgot to sign it, as re-
quired by law, it had to be rejected and
the eontract was awarded to the next
lowest bidder, John L. Elder, of Ebehs-
burg, whose bid was $45,435.

{ RED Cross MEETING NEXT TUESDAY
| NIGHT.—Since the titanic struggle now
i being fought out in Europe began a little
, over a month ago greater destruction of
life and property has been done than in
' any like period of time. Because of the
enormous number of men, running into
! millions, and the vastly increased powers
of the engines of destruction that sci-
“ence has perfected soldiers have been
‘mowed down in immense numbers. Vil-
, lages and cities once prosperous, filled
, with homes of industrious and frugal
people have been bombarded, and their
| buildings destroyed by shot and
shell and the torch of the soldier. No
_ country has been so devastated by this
war as Belgium. With her sons called
i from the fields of industry, her public
works completely stopped, her harvest
! either still in the fields or imperfectly
"harvested by women and children, and
| citizens in mortal dread of their lives be-
' cause of the presence everywhere of the
‘ soldiers, and with no prespects for the
winter but hunger and cold for thous- |
{ands of women and children. Surely
| Belgium is in a most pitiable condition.
Thousands of women and children are
! pouring into France. They need help if
any one ever needed it. Governments
| will care for the soldiers as long as they
{ are on the battle line but who is to care
| for them during their convalescence, and
the women and children left destitute?
| Their sacrifices are no less than those of
the soldiers. Now, the question with
| the people of Bellefonte is not a matter
of willingness to help, but many of us
| want to know how we can do our part in
' relieving the sufferings of these poor
| refugees. Next Tuesday night, in the
| High school building, this question of
| how to help will be answered by Mad-
! emoiselle Cecile dela Garde, a French
{lady and friend of Miss Anna Valentine.
{ She has asked Miss Valentine to act as
| receiving agent and to arrange a public
| meeting, when the cause of the suffering
women and children of Belgium will be
i presented by herself and other speakers.
i Stereopticon pictures will illustrate some
| features of the refugee life and the war
in general.
We certainly hope that the meeting
will long be remembered because of the
| generousness with which our people will
| contribute. Mademoiselle Cecile de Ia
Garde is an accredited representative of
the Red Cross Society. She is now in
Washington in conference with the wives
of the Belgian and French Ambassadors,
and the Belgian Commission now in con-
ference with the President. The beauti-
ful home of Mdlle. de la Garde in Savoy,
France, has been converted into a con-
valescent home, provided with forty beds
for the wounded soldiers. She will give
an account of the work and its pressing
needs. There will be no charge for ad-
mission to the meeting in the High
school on Tuesday night. It is confident-
ly hoped that the cry of the war stricken
women and children ‘of Belgium will find
; a hearty and worthy response from the
! people of Bellefonte when the offering is
| taken and the contributions are solicited.

| DRIVES Auto OVER HIGH EMBANK-
| MENT:—On Tuesday Mervin S. Betz, of
| Jacksonville, took his wife and Dr. and
| Mrs. ‘George Hoy Tibbens, of Beech
i Creek, over to Philipsburg for the big
; celebration. Mrs. Harry Brady and two
i lady friends, of Lock Haven, also drove
i over in the Ford car given away by the
| Leathers ‘Bros. at their Mill Hall land
{ sale. On the homeward trip the ladies
were ahead of Mr. Betz’s car and just
this side of Gillentown the brakes on
their car refused to work, Mr. Betz and
Dr. Tibbens tried to fix it and failing to
do so the doctor offered to drive the car
to Snow. Shoe. He was driving along at
a fair rate of speed when he came to a
sharp turn in the road leading toa bridge
that crossed the railroad tracks. He was
unable to stop or make the turn and the
machine plunged down over a twenty-
five foot embankment onto the railroad.
Fortunately it did not turn turtle but
alighted right side up with- Mr. Tibbens
still at the wheel. All the ladies were
thrown out, Mrs. Brady receiving a bad
cut above one eye. All the women were
badly bruised and suffered from shock.
Judge and Mrs. Ellis L. Orvis were
only a short distance away when the car
went over the embankment and the Betz
car was right behind them. They all ex-
pected to find the occupants of the car
seriously, if not fatally injured, but when
they learned such was not the case the
Judge drove hurriedly to Snow Shoe for
assistance. Dr. Brady, husband of Mrs.
Brady, was:there in his car, and he at
once went out to the scene of the acci-
dent and conveyed the injured to Snow
Shoe. The front wheels of the car were
smashed and it was otherwise badly dam-
aged.
OLD SOLDIERS REUNION.—Members of
the G. A. R. and old soldiers generally
throughout Centre county are hereby re-
minded of the fact that the annual pic-
nic and reunion of the Centre county
veteran club will be held in Bellefonte

a member of the club or not you are
quite welcome to attend. Addresses will
be made by prominent G. A. R. men and
considerable important business will have
to be disposed of. Supt. F. H. Thomas
has consented to run a return special
train to Pine Grove Mills in the evening
to carry home the soldier contingent and
their friends from that section of the
county.

began active training this week.
; —It requires two engines every morn-
ing to shift the string of empty cars out
to the Whiterock quarries for the day’s
output of stone and lime. It is the one
industry in this section that is running
full capacity. The company’s main out-
put of stone goes to the Cambria Iron
and Steel company, at Johnstown.

——1In last week’s issue Fred S. Dun-
ham, publisher of the Howard Hustler,
gives notice that the publication of
the paper will be suspended until such
time as he is assured of proper support
from the citizens of Howard and vicinity.
In the future his entire attention will be
devoted to job printing and in trying to
collect what is due on subscriptions to
the Hustler.

——The WATCHMAN office is indebted
to Miss Eloise Schuyler, of Centre Hall,
for a large bouquet of the most beauti-
ful asters the writer has seen this sea-
son. They were received in perfect con-
dition on Tuesday and just to show that
Dr. Schuyler’s garden was as prolific in
growing vegetables as flowers a speci-
men tomato weighing a pound and a half
was sent along. Our thanks are extend-
ed for both.
——Peter A. Shuey, who left Bellefonte
twenty-nine years ago and although most
of that time has been spent at Donora,
Pa., has never been back to Centre coun-
ty, moved with his family to Bellefonte
this week and will~occupy the house on
Willowbank street to be vacated by
George Lentz and family. Mr. Shuey,
who is ‘a. brother of C. C. Shuey, will
work at his trade as a carpenter at the
new penitentiary.
——The football season will open in
two weeks and already the husky coaches
throughout the country are mobilizing
their warriors for the fray. With State
College, the Bellefonte Academy and
Bellefonte High school on the firing line
Bellefonte will have an opportunity of
witnessing more than one battle. The
one question which is already interesting
the devotees of the sport is the outlook
for winning teams.
—Taft Johnson, a Lubin moving pic-
ture actor who was in charge of one of
the companies at the big Philipsburg cel-
ebration in the beginning of the week, is
authority for the statement that the
company is considering the proposition
of sending a corps of photographers to
Bellefonte to get certain scenes to use in
working up pictures. Should they do so
the pictures will later be shown on the
screen at the Scenic.
—Two large gangs of men are now
at work on the state highway from Le-
mont to Pleasant Gap. One gang has
worked from Lemont down to below
county commissioner D. A. Grove’s farm,
while George Yarnell is in charge of a
gang which began at Pleasant Gap and
is working west. The latter expected to
have fourteen teams on the job this week
and at the rate both gangs are working
the road will likely be completed this
fall.
——Why worry over something that is
past and can’t be helped when you can
£0 to the Scenic for five cents and forget
all your troubles during an hour's pro-
gram of moving pictures. Think of the
many thousands now in Europe who
would be only too glad to be able to en-
joy this peaceful privilege. The change
in program gives you something new
each evening. Watch the posters daily
for the night's bill. Room comfortable
and good order at all times. :

——Complaints are heard in many
parts of Centre county about low water. |
Wells and streams are almost dry and
unless we soon get a hard, soaking rain
farmers will be compelled to either haul
water or drive their stock long distances
to water. While the quantity of rain
that fell this summer was sufficient to
nourish the crops, there have been very
few rains of sufficient duration to soak
the ground and replenish the water sup-
ply in the wells and streams.

——The rummage sale, which the
Auxiliary was unable to hold during the
spring, on account of the impossibility of
getting a desirable place, is being ar-
ranged for the first week of October.
Articles intended for the hospital benefit
can be gathered together and by next
week the committee will be able to either
send for them or tell you where they are
to be delivered. Generous contributions
are asked that the fall sale may cover
the loss from not being able to hold the
sale during the spring.
