Theodore Davis Boal not only put {the “Boal” in Boalsburg buthe nail- led the “burg” solidly to the map on | Saturday with his big barbecue and | preparedness meeting, and having as the honor guest no less a personage than Major General Leonard Wood, commander of all the armies of the United States and a dark horse in the race for the Republican nomination for President. The elements were very much against a large attendance, owing to two very hard rain storms early in the afternoon, but with all that the crowd was estimated at from 2,000 to 2,500. It surely was a big day and the only drawback was the rain which made it wet under foot as well as overhead. There was some delay in starting the meeting owing to the late arrival of Dr. E. E. Sparks, who was detain- ed by something going wrong with his car. In the meantime the Boal band kept things lively with their music and all who got near enough was af- forded the pleasure of meeting Gen. Wood. The General and his party, which included his daughter Lucretia, Capt. Doray, an aide on the General's staff, with his wife, of New York; Mrs. W. W. Porter, wife of Justice Porter, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Frank G. Kennedy, also of Philadelphia, and Mrs. George Ross, of Harrisburg, mo- tored over the Seven mountains from Lewistown Saturday morning and were guests of Mr. Boal for luncheon. After the luncheon Gen. Wood review- ed the first volunteer: mounted ma- chine gun troop recently organized at Boalsburg and State College. Dean Arthur Holmes, of State Col- lege, presided at the open air meeting held in the grove near the big swim- ing pool in the afternoon, and intro- duced as the first speaker Dr. E. E. Sparks, president of State College. Dr. Sparks spoke in a complimentary way of the interest shown by the peo- ple of Centre county in the prepared- ness movement and ventured the as- sertion that every one of the thousands of young men who had been trained in military tactics at State Collge would willingly volunteer if the time ever came when their services were needed. , In closing he attempted to get a speech out of Mr. Boal, the host, but that ‘gentleman modestly declined doing anything; but introduce Gen. Wood. « Gen. Wood talked for about half an hour and, while he is not a brilliant orator he presented his facts so con- sistently and plain as to carry convic- tion to all his hearers. The General is for preparedness, not for an army of a million trained soldiers nor for the biggest navy in the world, but for a standing local army of 100,000 trained soldiers, outside our insular possessions and coast defenses, and an increased navy and one whose stand- ard of efficiency would be such that it could respond to a call at any time. In addition he advocated the adoption of the Swiss or Australian military training system whereby young men between the ages of 14 and 18 are required to devote one hundred hours each year in military training and at the age of eighteen take three months of intensive training in a regular ar- my military camp. It is only by some such method that the proper organi- zation can be accomplished and main- tained and numbers without organiza- tion will count for nothing in the time of dire need. Gen. Wood also advo- cated the increase of the army equip- ment of the United States to bring it up to a condition compatible with the demands of the times. “During the past year,” he said, “the people of the United States have been undergoing a condition of verbal massage. They have had prepared- ness rubbed in on one side and unpre- paredness on the other, until they hardly know where they are at, but if you have anything you think worth defending or worth fighting for, whether it be your home, your women or your country, the time to prepare is before an enemy invades your sa- cred precincts, and not afterwards. If you are an advocate of unprepared- ness and count on numbers without organization or equipment, and the time ever comes when the country shall be invaded by a foreign foe, the consequences will be appalling and you will be the one to blame.” General Wood also advocated an uplift in moral training and character building as vital essentials to the wel- fare of the country. His speech throughout was listened to with the closest attention and by none more carefully than the band of men who have enrolled themselves as volun- teers in the mounted machine gun troop. At the close of Gen. Wood’s speech Dean Holmes announced that the 300 pound ox and the four sheep slaught- ered for the big barbecue by Mine Host Boal had been properly, barbe- cued by chief barbecuer Thomas Thompson and if the guests would fall into line and pass by the serving table they would each and every one be given a due portion, “I thank you.” Consequently there was a general falling in and an idea of the crowd serve the guests just 144 were left | over. And scores went home without waiting for a portion of the feast. The big time was held as a sort of a christening or inauguration ceremo- ny for the new mounted machine gun troop, which has been filled to its full complement of fifty officers and men. Theodore Davis Boal has been made captain of the troop; George Boal Thompson, first lieutenant, and Wil- bur E. Leitzel second lieutenant. Each man has purchased his own uniform and Mr. Boal himself has furnished the money to purchase the horses. Up to Monday evening twenty-two mounts had been secured and they are now in keeping on the George B. Thompson farm at Alto. Other horses will be purchased just as fast as suitable steeds can be secured until the troop is all supplied. The plans for the troop include drills once or twice a week until the first of August when they will go in- to camp on the Boal farm to undergo training by a regular army officer for two weeks. An overland march will then be made to Tobyhanna where a week will be spent, to be followed by the return march home. ——The S. and H. green trading stamp company has announced its intention of going into competition with the Woolworth people and open up a line of 5 and 10 cent stores throughout the country.

A little son who has been nam- ed Lewis Frederic, for his paternal grandfather, was born Sunday to Mr. and Mrs. Harold B. Thompson, of Salt Lake City. Mrs. Thompson before her marriage last August, was Miss Sara McGinley, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. McGinley, of Thomas street. The final rehearsal for Chil- dren’s day at the Presbyterian church will take place on Saturday evening of this week, at 7.30 o’clock.

Fortu- nately nobody was hurt. The road was only partially blocked and by six o’clock Monday morning was en- tirely opened to traffic. The wreck at- tracted hundreds of sightseers from Altoona, Tyrone and surrounding towns. A — Fifty-seven years ago on Mon- day morning Mr. McQuistion, the well known coachmaker of this place, left Brookville, Jefferson county, to drive to Bellefonte, having decided to locate here, and what most impressed him on the trip was the fact that there had been a severe frost that morning which killed all kinds of crops, garden truck and fruit. As he drove along the road the fields on either side were as black as if burned over by fire. The result was almost an entire loss of all kinds of crops in this section of the State. : ] On Saturday evening the mem- bers of the Lock Haven High school base ball team were tendered a ban- quet at the Nittany Country club by Mr. P. P. Griffin, the well known lum- berman of that city. At the conclu- sion of the banquet Mr. Griffin an- nounced that if the High school would arrange three games of football with the Bellefonte High school next fall he would give a handsome silver lov- ing cup to the winner. Inasmuch as these teams have always played two games each season there should be no Improved Train Service. The Pennsylvania railroad compa- ny has announced the inauguration on Sunday, June 25th, of a through all steel train service between Pittsburgh and Easton. The trains will be known can be gathered from the fact that of ! as No. 510, Pennsylvania Lehigh ex- the 2,000 wooden plates on hand to | press, eastbound, and No. 511, Lehigh Pennsylvania express, westbound. The former will leave Pittsburg at 9 a. m., Tyrone at 12.50 and Bellefonte, the only stopping place between Tyrone and Lock Haven, at 1.40 p. m. From Lock Haven the train will run to Mt. Carmel on the Pennsylvania lines, and will there be switched to the Lehigh Val- ley for the run to Easton. Westbound the train will leave Easton at 8 a. m.,, Lock Haven at 2.28 p. m., and Belle- fonte about 3.16 westward bound. The total time for the trip from Pitts- burgh to Easton will be eleven hours. The running of this train over the Bald Eagle Valley will necessitate some changes in the schedule of one or two other trains. No. 52, which now leaves Bellefonte at 1.23, will be here at 1.08, the two trains passing here, which will give passengers east more time in Lock Haven to catch the Buffalo Flyer. The railroad compa- changing of the train now passing through Bellefonte at 4.44 westbound to 9.15 in the evening, but there is considerable protest against such a change from residents of Bald Eagle valley and it may not be made. The new through train will consist of a combination baggage and passen- ger coach, a day coach, a restaurant car and a parlor car, all steel. The train will be run through without change. The new train will shorten the dis- tance between Bellefonte and New York city forty miles, making the dis- tance just 300 miles, and give close connection at Easton. It is reported that Charles M. Schwab was instru- mental in having the train put on, as it will give the best possible service between Pittsburgh and his extensive plant at New Bethlehem. Woman’s Suffrage Party Convention.

All members of the Woman Suffrage party are urged to be present and to bring with them those whom they wish to interest in the enfranchise- ment of women. MRS. ROBERT MILLS BEACH, Chairman Centre Co., Woman's Suffrage Party. — The action taken by council Monday night, to compel all persons owning or occupying property in Bellefonte to cut down, dig or in any way rid it of weeds, gives a great deal of satisfaction to those who have been waging a weed war single handed. Should council get in earnest with the negligent person and make him pay for the cutting or digging of the weeds, it no doubt would greatly ben- efit both the town and many individu- als. It might be well if you see a weed to dig it out, for these men sometimes mean what they say and may come after you this time. ——Fisher’s autobus leaves Belle- fonte Diamond for Lewistown daily at 3 p.m. Saturdays 11 a.m. and 4.15 p. m. 1t* NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —F.
