That they are good ones is prov- en by the fact that he paid five hundred dollars for them, money that he had originally saved up to buy a Ford dairy car. He brought the cows home on Wed- nesday of last week and on Sunday two of them had calves. George intends raising an entire herd of Holsteins for his dairy purposes. ——The Bellefonte Lodge of Elks had their second annual outing at the Fritz Glinz lodge up Spring creek yesterday afternoon and evening. A large number of members and a big delegation of in- vited friends attended. During the after- noon there were various kinds of} sports including a clay pigeon shoot, foot races, baseball, etc. In the eveningla regular sea food dinner was servediwhich includ- ed crabs, baked clams, etc. Christy | Smith’s orchestra was present and fur- nished music for the occasion. —If the soldiers in Texas felt the hot weather any more than the people . of Bellefonte and Centre county did the past week they will have to prove it to us.

In fact a lit- tle snow storm would have been a wel- come phenomenon as far as comfort was {rom Captain Curtin down to private | concerned. ——Last Saturday Seymour Confer, who lives on the Jacksonville road, was forty-eight years old and his family and friends gave him a birthday surprise party. In fact it was so much of a sur- prise that on his trip home from Belle- fonte Mr. Confer hauled some of the guests *along down with him without knowing the purpose of their . visit. All the members of the family were there except one, and the gathering also in- cluded Mr. and Mrs. John Confer, of Clearfield; Mrs. Chester A. Walker and two children, of Bigler, and most of his relatives in Centre county. ——The Bellefonte mixologists held their annual outing in Curtin’s gap on! Sunday and had as guests about a dozen of the fraternity from Lock Haven. A roast chicken dinner was one of the fea- tures. During the afternoon there was a baseball game between the Bellefonte and Lock Haven contingents and that it was closely contested is proven by the fact that eleven innings were played without a run being scored. In the twelfth inning a Lock Haven player knocked out a home run and that ended the game. A number of Bellefonters were also guests at the camp during the day. enough for the moon and stars to shine. : The hardest storm we have witness- ed was on Thursday evening about seven o’clock. At the approach of it my bunkie and I lay down on our cots io talk over things in general. About fifteen minutes later I thought I no- ticed my water basin, which was on the ground st the time, move around. I made a grab for it and you can im- agine my surprise when I found we were in six inches of water. Well, there was nothing to do but turn in and sleep, and in the morning the en- lire camp was one huge mud puddle. The infantry, which is located about a half a mile from us were the real sufferers, as the water at their place was between two and three feet in depth. Drill was suspended for the day and on the fcllowing morning the dust began to fly. Here is some real news. On Mon- day we sent a detail to El Paso and they brought back fourteen horses. On Wednesday and Saturday other details brought twenty-eight more from the corrals at Fort Bliss, so that at this writing we have a total of forty-two horses, with prospects of getting our full quota the coming week. They are a pretty good col- lection, although a good many are man-shy. They are being handled very carefully, so we do not expect real serious trouble in breaking them. Here’s where Lester Gordon, our ex- cow puncher shines. The main question of the day is, when are we going home? and I know a good many of us would gladly give up our last bite of corned beef to the one who has the coveted solution to the puzzle. The South Carolina troops arrived at Fort Bliss the early part of the week, and ‘that’s what started the boys a guessing. Can’t understand why they are still sending them down here, when we think it’s time to go back home. Thursday morning was division in- spection. Gen. Clement and staff were the officers who did the job on the field, and ther we were inspected in quarters. Everything that belongs to us and things that don’t belong to us were spread outin a uniform man- ner in our tent and on the shelter-half in front of the tent. It is needless to say that in this case as well as in all others our Troop, as usual, was ,among the top-notchers at the final test. | Immediately after the inspection, ‘when the equipment had all been put back into place, we were lined up Young in alphabetical order and marched past the pavmaster, where each man received his pay according to his rank and complexion. Of course [we weren’t a bit surprised at Retreat ito find that only about one-third of the men answerec to the roll call, as ithey were all busy in town, either at ‘the famous Sunset, feeding their faces, or else at the postoffice sending home their hard earned cash in the form of a money order. John W. Kreamer, cf east Lamb street, stopped off to visit with us over Friday and Saturday on his way to Denver, Col., from Douglass, Ari- zona, where he is employed as a pat- tern maker. John looks real well and admits the climate is very beneficial to his health. Clyde “Buck” Johnson has been do- ing so much guard duty of late that he thinks he will apply for a position foe guardian of the law when he gets back home, and wants to know [whether Dukeman and Johnson will sound just right.

Men All in Good Health but Getting Anxious for Home. Boal "| Troop Leaves for Mount Gretna. Mounted Machine Gun Troop Now at Mt. Gretna. With colors flying and bugles blow- ing Theodore Davis Boal’s mounted machine gun troop marched from their camp on the Beal farm near Boalsburg toc Oak Hall on Tuesday morning and left on the early train over the Lewisburg and Tyrone rail- road for Mt. Gretna where they are now in the regular army mobilization camp awaiting the federal army physical examination and inspection, passing which they will be mustered into the federal service. The troop took alorg twenty-one horses passed by the federal veterinary inspectors out of the total of about sixty-five purchased by Mr. Boal for the use of the troop. Second lieutenant George Boal Thompson did not accompony the troop but remained in camp with two veterinary inspectors for the purpose of purchasing enough addi- tional mounts to equip the troop throughout. When Mr. Boal and Mr. Thompson conceived the idea of organizing a mounted machine gun trcop they were spurred on by the wave of pre- paredress sweeping over the country, but it is hardly to be supposed that they for one minute anticipated how hard it would be to get into the army. The troop went into camp on Mr. Boal’s farm early in July, expecting lo he mustered into service within two weeks. They were under training by a regular army officer for a fortnight and were then inspected and informed that they would pass muster. But no mustering officer came along and as the days went by both officers and men became impatient. Mr. Boal and Mr. Thompson made a trip to ‘Washington and New York and finally landed in Harrisburg to see Governor Brumbaugh, and the re- sult was that they were finally in- formed that they would be mustered ,in but the Department reserved the right to appoint the captain. This right was yielded and last week the troop was formally accepted for serv- ice to date from August 15th. - On Friday Major R. G. H. Hayes received a telegram to proceed to Camp Boal at once and give the mén the preliminary physical examina- tion, and on Saturday he and Col H. S. Taylor went up and examined every member of the troop. Out of turned down, so that the troop left on Tuesday morning with seventy-two men and twenty-one horses. So far no orders have been issued appointing a captain of the troop, but the other officers are as follows: First lieutenant, Theodore, Davis Boal; sec- ond lieutenants, George Boal Thomp- son and Wilbur F. Leitzell; sergeants, John O. Lawrence, Thomas R. Weber, D. F. Carver and G. Butterworth; corporals, Philip Shoemaker, Charles G. Cruse, Fred Harvey and William Imboden; supply sergeant. Philip D. Foster; surgeon, Dr. J. V. Foster. As a fitting farewell to the troop the citizens of Boalsburg and State College gave them a rousing send-off on Monday evening. Prof. John Ham- ilton, of State College, made the fare- well address and John Holmes pre- sented the soldiers with a beautiful silk flag the gift of the people of | ‘State College. About one thousand people attended the reception and a large crowd was at the Oak Hall sta- tion on Tuesday morning te see the soldier boys off. | Recruiting Stations to be Opened. i With Troop L at the border and the new Machine Gun Troop from Boals- bute on the way, an outsider might think that all the patriotic young men of Centre county had enlisted into the service. But to one who knows Cen- tre county intimately, there is no such thing as a full quota while there is a vacancy in the ranks of any organiza- tion from this region. iy In order to provide for the vacan- cies now existing in Troop L, as well as in all the other organizations now in the United States service, Lieuten- ant B. A. Zentmyer, recruiting oificer for this district, will open temporary stations for recruiting at Bellefonte and State College, the office at the former place being at the Brockerhoff house, at the latter the Nittany Inn, and will be found at these places dur- ing the afternoon and evening of the following days: ‘ Bellefonte, August 28th, September 7th and 14th. State College, August 29th, Septem- ber 8th and 15th. Lieutenant Zentmyer will be glad to meet any young man who feels the call to duty, and to talk over with him just what is offered and expected: ——Put your ad. in the WATCHMAN. Se ” !
