Blossburg citizens are planning
to hold another Old Home week Au-

gathering last year and the affair was
not only a success socially but finan-
cially, the fund raised more than
meeting the expenses, and now they
Propose making it an annual affair.
Bellefonte’s Old Home week last year
was a rousing success socially, but
there are still a few bills unpaid and
no intention of repeating the affair
this year.

Troopers in Good Health.
By Corp. Harry J. Cohen.
Camp Thomas J. Stewart,
El Paso, Texas, July .6.
Having ended my last letter just as
our train was pulling out of St. Louis,
it will no doubt be of interest to know
what we did and where we did it,
so our next stop was atthe town of
Moberly, Mo., where, although it was
Sunday, we were allowed the freedom
of the place, which included a swim in
the railroad lake. This lake is the
property of the railroad Y. M. C. A,,
and though it was nowheres near as
refreshing as our former dips in the
Patomac and Ohio rivers, it washed
‘the grit out of our eyes and we all
| felt better for taking it.
We left Moberly at 4.45 and at nine
that evening arrived at Kansas City.
There we were obliged to stay on the
train until its departure, which was a
quarter of eleven, owing to the fact
that a second member of Troop K, of
Lock Haven, had taken ill and the
medical corps was forced to leave him
at the hospital there. When the train
started we all turned in and morning
found us at McPherson, Kansas. Mec-
Pherson is the home of the Southwest-
ern College for women, and they
showed the right spirit by presenting
‘us with a lot of souvenir postcards to
| send back to our friends at home. Our
other stops in Kansas were at Pratt,
which we reached at noon, and Liber-
al, in the afternoon. At both places
we took in the sights, and they surely
are modern towns. Before nightfall
we passed through Goodwell, Okla.,
and reached Dallas, Tex., where a
crowd of real southern beauties sure
did make it interesting for the boys.
Luckily we were not allowed off the
train, as I feel sure that had we been
roll call that evening would have
found us minus a few stand-bys.
When Tuesday morning came we
noticed that our train had left the
Rock Island road and was on the El
; Paso and Southwestern, which meant
that we were on the last lap of our
| Journey. Our first stop being at Car-
| rizozo, New Mexico, we took in the
town and upon our departure from
| there we made preparations for our
‘final exit. Baggage was quickly got-
ten together and at 12.30 we were
politely told to detrain, that cur camp
site had bean reached.
We are located about eight miles
north of El Paso and two miles north
of Fort Bliss, Texas., where the regu-
lar army barracks are situated. The
camp is placed out in the sandy desert,
almost at the foothills of the Sierra |
Nevada mountains. If there only was '
a stream of running water here it
would be an ideal spot. At this writ-
‘ing water has to be carried from the
barracks pumping station, bat a pipe
line will be laid for our benefit this
week. When this is accomplished the
boys ought not to have a single kick
coming. We are now being just accli-
mated to the climate, and while it is
terribly hot during the day, the nights
are more thn comfortable, being cool,
with no mosquitoes nor flies to bother
the tired sleeper.
El Paso is a wonderful city, where
so powerful, but more suitable to a | SPanish is more prevalent than the
residential district,
——While everybody in pretty
nearly all of Centre county was siz-
zling with the heat last Friday the
people in the neighborhood of Hannah |
Furnace were cooled by a hail storm
which was confined to that particular
section. Enough of hail fell to cover
the ground so that it was as white as'
a snow storm in winter could make it.
Of course, it did not last very long,
and strange as it may seem compara-
tively little damage was done by the
hail stones, some of which were as
large as hickory nuts.
Harry M. Hoover, paying teller
of the Curwensville National bank,
‘who two months ago was shot by D.
©. Downing, of Bald Eagle, in an at-
‘tempt to rob the bank, has fully re-
covered from his injuries and expects
to resume his duties in the bank with-
in a few days. Mr. Downing still
languishes in jail though he is will

Clearfield county returns from the

camp, where he is now a “rookie.”
—Superintendent F. H. Thomas,
of the Bellefonte Centra! railroad
company, has in his posses: in a pan-
orama photograph of the fa.mer’s ex-
cursion train from Erie county, which
made a trip to State College several
weeks ago. The train was composed
of eleven coaches, drawn by two loco-
motives, and carried 850 farmers. The
picture, which is five feet long by a
foot wide, was taken by photographer
W. W. Smith, of State College, while
the train stood on the Bellefonte Cen-
tral tracks at Struble station. Mr.

The week has been
spent mostly in getting used to the
surroundings, but drill is scheduled
for Monday, with all eager to get
down to business.
Everybody is feeling great, and
although the hot sun has turned us all
into a regular celored cavalry, our
appetites are just the same, if not
more so, than they were when we left
Bellefonte, and Harry Whiteman, our
head cook, is kept busy turning out
apple dumplings, which are the pride
of the cook tent.
Fred Yeager and “Tip” Sanford
were in town on Wednesday and
brought home a yellow = Mexican cur,
which is already taking the place in
our hearts of the pup we left behind
at Mt. Gretna. The collar is a little
large for her but while she is in our
care there is hope.” She has been
christened Belle, in honor of the late
lady and also as a reminder of the
dear old town among the hills of Cen-
tre county.
Through reports in the daily papers it
has been learned that one member of
Troop L, in camp in Texas, has the mea-
sles and the Troop has been quarantined.
The men have attached their signature
to the first pay roll and are now looking
forward to the advent of the Paymaster,
as many of them have been broke ever
since reaching camp. From letters and
cards received in Bellefonte this week it
is evident that the health of the men
generally is good. Though the weather
is hot they have not lost their appetites
and are always ready for the mess call.
Charles Tierney wrote home this week
and stated that while it was hot in day-
time he was always able to sleep good at
night, except at spells when he had to
get up and shake the rattlesnakes out of
his blanket, but this was probably writ-
ten to impress the home folks with the
hazards of their camp life.

Mr. Baum is now
located in Kansas City, and it has been three
years since he has been back on a visit, but he
looks just as natural as if he had been away only
a week.
ELECTRIC PUMP TESTED. —The new
electric pump installed at the water
works by the State—Centre Electric
company, under its contract to pump
the water for the borough, was tested
out on Wednesday. The two hydraulic
pumps were shut down and the electric
pump started about noon-time. In the
meantime the water was allowed to run
down until the reservoir was empty, in
order to permit of its being cleaned out.
The new pump worked at a capacity
of from 900 to 1,000 gallons a minute,
and for an hour or two during the early
part of the afternoon the high parts of
the town were without water. At three
| o'clock, however, the pump had all the
mains full and the water was up to the
safety valve near the C. M. Bower resi-
dence on east Linn street. That was
the only time, however, that a full sup-
ply was reached. The pump was shut
down shortly afterwards and the supply
got down to where residents on the high
points were again short of water.
Of course this does not mean that the
pump will not do the work required of
it, but only shows the amount of water
used in Bellefonte. At the rate of 1,000
gallons a minute the capacity of the
pump was 60,000 gallons an hour or
1,440,000 gallons a day. This. of course
is exclusive of the hydraulic pumps, and
with them going ihe necessity for using
the electric pum) will be considerably
reduced.
