That the wives and families of the men who volunteered with Troop L for service along the Mexican bor- der shall not want for anything is the determination of the public spir- ited citizens of Bellefonte and Cen- tre county. An organization has been formed to solicit money to care for the dependent families and al- ready some aid has been extended. It is the purpose, however, to so per- fect the system that each and every family will be properly cared for— 1 the latter having par- | 1 from any in the: not meagerly and miserly, but in a way that will assure them the same | necessities and comforts they enjoy- ed when the head of the family was at home and contributing to their But to do this will require money, and the citizens of Centre county sponse. It will individual, if many re- spond, and it is in the hope of a lib- eral response that the following ap- peal, issued by the officers of the or- ganization, is being sent broadcast throughout Centre county: Headquarters Centre County Sol- diers’ Relief Association. Bellefonte, Pa., July 13, 1916. At a mass meeting held in the court house June 30th the Centre County Soldiers’ Relief Association was organized for the purpose of extending a substantial assistance to the families of enlisted men who have gone to the front and whose families are dependent upon them for their maintenance. Upon a careful examination we find that some 20 families, with 35 children, will require more or less assistance at once. The association proposes to collect funds from the patriotic people of the county to give to each wife 50c per day and 25¢ for each child per day during the time that the bread-winner of the family is in the service of the coun- try. : This will require not less than $500.00 a month. We desire to pay each family every two weeks through the Ladies Auxiliary Committee ap- pointed for this purpose, who will visit each family and report such in- formation as we may need in order to distribute this aid in a practical and intelligent manner. In order to facilitate our efforts we have asked that a representative of each church denomination as well as of each benevolent or social or- ganization in the county be appoint- ed with power to select leading citizens in each town und community to solicit and accept contributions for the use of this association. Cards pledging a certain sum, payable monthly, will be forwarded to each rapresentative and it is hoped that the patriotic people of the county vill be liberal in responding to this appeal. : $15.00 a month for a private sol- dier will not be sufficient to maintain his family while in the service. It therefore becomes the duty of the citizens of the county to recognize their obligation to help these depend- ent families. It is a mistake to believe that the order of the Secretary of War, giv- ing commanders authority to dis- charge a married enlisted man upon application and proof that his family needs him at home, will result in his dismissal. The patriotism that animated these men to respond to the call of their country will not per- mit them to make such application and return home under the suspicion of refusing to serve their country when called to the front. Neither ought we to rely on the generosity of relatives to take care of these de- pendent families in cases where they are not able so to do.. It should be a pleasure to the good people of the county to come forward and contri- bute a sufficient amount to make their fathers and husbands at the front feel comfortable while they are doing their duty to their country. We should not decline to furnish this aid on the ground that these men may be back in a short time. The intimation of the military au- thorities at Washington is that all the available troops will be forward- ed to the border and required to do service for a considerable time in order to give them an opportunity for training and discipline in case actual war should come. For the honor of the county which has never failed in any national crisis to come forward with men and money to the assistance of the gov- ernment, this association confidently appeals to the people to do as their forebears did in 1861, give of their substance handsomely, so that while the boys in the field are fighting for the flag their wives and children left behind them will not suffer for the necessities and comforts of life, nor be compelled to pay a penalty for the heroism of their husbands and fathers. H. C. VALENTINE, J. L. SPANGLER, Secretary. President. The County Commissioners this week voted the association a dona- tion of $200 monthly, and the Elks will contribute $25.00 a month, while several other substantial con- tributions have been made. But so far the total is away short and Cen- tre countians generally are urged to respond. If enough of people con- tribute a small sum monthly the burden will not be felt by any indi- vidual. , ~—John Gray Glenn, a son of Rev. and Mrs. George Glenn, of Ty- rone, took the Sophomoze Greek prize of $25.00..at. the. recent com- an extra ticket and help along. mencement at Wesleyan University.

Considerable damage was done to the roof and attic. ——The glorious Fourth is a thing of the past, but not so the Scenic.

AP Amn The -anvassers for Chautau- qua tickets this year have found a great many families that are unable to purchase tickets and numerous chiidren who are anxious to attend the Junior work.

Overton, and the tickets will be distributed by a com- mittee to worthy and appreciative families. : Deputy Attorney General aad Mrs. William H.
