Spangler was initiat- ed as a member of the Bellefonte Lodge of Elks on Monday evening. A. G. Morris Jr. last week re- ceived a new Indiana one ton auto truck for use in delivering coal. : Up to yesterday morning just 1503 hunters licenses had been issued by county treasurer David Cham- bers. Yesterday was Columbus day and the Bellefonte postoffice officials honored the discoverer of America hy keeping regular holiday hours. ———-Harry McDonald, who has been farming near Kylertown, Clearfield county, sold his farm stock and ma- chinery this week and will move to Unionville to live. Charles Harnish, a guard at the penitentiary, moved his family from Lock Haven to Bellefonte this week and is now occupying a house on east Lamb street. ’ In order not to conflict with the High school game the Bellefonte Academy football management can- celled their game with Lewistown scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. About fifty dollars was re- alized by the Bellefonte Chapter of the D. A. R., at their benefit card par- ty Tuesday night, given for the main- tenance of their room at the nospital. Miss Snyder wishes to an- nounce that she will have the correct models and distinctive styles in mil- linery; also, the Phipps hats will be on display Wednesday, October 18th. 40-1t Frank Crosthwaite, of State College, who was operated on at the Bellefonte hospital yesterday morn ing, has gained strength enough to encourage his family in hoping for a complete recovery. James Krape, the man-of-all- work at the Bellefonte hospital, has undertaken the task of raising by sub- scription five hundred dollars to equip the pathological laboratory at the hospital, and so far has raised $250 of the amount. All the lands of Christ Sharer, in Rush and Worth townships, agegre- gating between seven and eight thous- and acres, have been leased by an as- sociation known as the Centre Game Propagating Preserve, and no hunting will be allowed on these lands this vear. William Bloyd and Edward Bear, of Moundsville, W. Va.. were injured in an automobile accident near Washington, Pa., last Saturday. Both young men are old Bellefonte Acad- eny students and their friends here naturally hope fcr their complete re- covery. The parisli Guild of St. John’s Episcopal church will hold a sale of pies, cakes, candy, hot rolls, ete. in the Parish house, on Lamb St., on Saturday afternoon, October 14th, beginning at 2 o’clock. The liberal patronage of the community is earn- estly solicited. The Bellefonte Academy foot- ball team opened the season on Hughes field last Saturday morning by defeating the Bucknell reserves 20 to 0. The Academy players are showing up splendidly and give every indication of rounding into a winning team for the season. Eighty-five new members were secured in the Y. M. C. A. member- ship contest which closed last Satur- day evering. The winning team which was captained by Miss Mary Mott, will be given a chicken supper at the Y. M. C. A. rooms next Monday even- ing by the losing team. ‘Work on George A. Beezer’s new fireproof garage on north Water street is progressing rapidly and in another fortnight most of the walls and structural work will be complet- ed. When finished it will be not only the best and largest garage in Belle- fonte, but a building that will be a eredit to that locality. ‘We notice that our friend, W. E. Tyson, of Tyrone, is about to em- bark in the staticnery and wall paper business, and we venture the assertion that if he puts into it the same vim and activity he usually does in every- thing he undertakes he will make some of the other dealers in Tyrone get a move on. And he has our heartiest wishes for his success. The Misses Newman recently moved from their apartments in the Aiken block to rooms in the Dr. Huff residence opposite the court house. Mrs. Aiken has had the third story of her building converted into two very convenient flats, with entrance thereto on Bishop street. She is now selling her surplus furniture and in the fu- ture she and her daughter, Miss Emma Aiken, will occupy only the second floor of the building. Everything Quiet Along the Rio Grande. The Soldier Boys Sleep Longer and Drill Less. First Accident in Troop L. Weather Much Colder. By Corp. Harry J. Cohen. Camp Thomas J. Stewart, El Paso, Texas, October 7th. This being the day for our custom- ary letter I will begin my pleasurable | task with just one thought in mind, and that is, what shall I write about? Nothing has transpired the past week that will = make a very large dent in our already well-filled histery, but one or two incidents generally occur that in a way is a little news, so will start with the change that has been made in our schedule, and one that is appreciated by the crowd more so than anything else that has happened so far. In truth I ought tc whisper this’ news for fear some one may see this and believe we are getting too wise but there is nothing so satisfying as taking a chance, so here goes. The bugle call for the morning awakening has been changed so that now we are all allowed te snooze a half hour longer, and while we are putting a little more time in on our morning field work, the afternoon drills have been cut out until further orders. Considering the way we have been working, and the strenuous life we have been leading to perfect ourselves in the service, this change is welcom- ed as a great relief. The start of the breaking up of the Seventh division has been made by the departure of the First, Third and Tenth regiments of infantry for their homes, as well as the Second field ambulance corps, of Philadelphia. While their places have been filled by troops from North Carolina, so as to keep the division intact, we all have that hopeful feeling that some day this month we will also bid adieu (that’s Spanish) to our foster home here at Camp Stewart. The Ninth regiment, which has been changed into the Thira Pennsylvania artillery, arrived here on Thursday from Mt. Gretna and is now comfort- ably located in the artillery section of the camp, a little north of us. As the men were leaving their train one of our usual sand storme occurred. A more disgusted bunch would be hard to find. They certaicly did not ap- preciate the taste of the country around here, and wanted to know if anybody had a stomach he wanted to swap for a nice, fresh, green one fron: the east. > It is getting to be, in fact we al- ready believe that it is, very cold here in the early morning hours, and the men have had their overcoats issued .0 them. Those who don’t use them as a blanket generally put the coat on before going to bed, although we have a few fresh air fiends who still persist in sleeping with nothing else on except their government B. V. D’s. On Wednesday our regiment went out for a one day hike and every ma» cooked his own meal. Each squadron took up a different sector and we covered a front of more than fifteen miles. Troop L, acting as support for the third squadron, had the soft part of the job. We galloped back to camp, which was nine miles away, in exactly one hour, through dust that was blowing and choking, and we sure were a pretty mess when we arrived. Lieut. Taylor, our renowned drill master, was detailed with the assist- ance of Sergt. Deering, to pit a com- pany of rookies, that arrived last week to join the various troops, through the ropes. How well this is being performed I need not dwell up- on, but his reputation as a disciplinar- ian is not suffering in the least. When the Lieutenant commands “Get those eyes around front,” with some snap, there is generally something doing. Our first mishap had to occur to the pet of the Troop, Luther (Babe) Crissman, who, while turning the hand forge got his fingers mixed up with a few cogs and now “Babe” is nursing a smaller finger. But as the member is healing even better than was expected, we are in hopes that he will not be the loser by this experi- ence. Ray Bryan, of Curtin, has the ad- miration of a certain few of our nat- ural history enthusiasts, as he has become the proud possessor of a real live, handsome bull-snake. He has even turned down a bid of $2.00 for it, which is some offer when pay day is about staring you in the face. This being the extent of my obser vations for this time I will close with the best wishes and usual regards of Troop L. ——Clarence T. Zeigler, a son of J. T. Zeigler, janitor at the court house, was on Friday appointed second clerk by the county commissioners to take the place made vacant by Nevin E. Cole, resigned to accept a clerkship in the First National bank. Young Zeigler is a graduate of the Belle- fonte High school, class of 1916, where he took both stenography and typewriting. | ——Baggage hauling a specialty. Geiss’ Livery. Both 61-27-1m Give us a call. phones. While at work repairing the heating plant at the court house, on Monday morning, a boiler maker from the E. Keeler Co. plant, at Wil- liamsport, fell over in a faint. A phy- sician was summoned who had him removed to the hospital but he recov- ered from the faint in a short time and was none the worse for his expe- rience. ———George Sharp brought to this office on Wednesday afternoon two ears of corn which were grown on the bottom of the old dam above the Bellefonte Engineering company’s plant. Harry Turner is farming the land this year and the two ears now on exhibition here are only a sample of most of his crop. One of the ears measures exactly one foot while the other is eleven inches in length. coo Dr. John Sebring has leased the entire lcwer floor of the old Ment- gomery home on Aliegheny street and the same is now being remodeled into a comfortable suite of offices, where he will hang out his shingle and continue the practice of medicine. With Drs. Sebring and Locke in ad- joining offices, Drs. Hayes and Reed right across the street and Dr. Seibert only a block and a half further north Bellefonte’s medical practitioners are pretty well conselidated. The comfortable home of Mrs. David Kunes, at Blanchard, was en- tirely destroyed by fire on Wednes- day morning. The fire broke out on the roof shortly after nine o’clock from sparks from the kitchen stove. Neighbors and the school children rushed to the scene but all they were able to do was save the furniture on the first floor. Mrs. Kunes had one thousand dollars insurance in the A. W. McCormick agency, of Lock Ha- ven, which will partially cover her loss. On Saturday afternoon some dogs chased a kitten up a tree in front of the Prurer block and after getting stowed safely away in a fork- ed branch the half-grown feline grew fearful of making the descent to the ground. The consequence was it ztayed in the tree all Saturday night and Sunday while its meow-ings were not very vleasant for residents in that neighborhecod. Bat Dr. Locke got it down on Sunday evening by paving a boy ten cents to climb the tree and bring the kitten safely to ground. —— ee — On Wednesday afternoon of last week while the school children were playing on the street in front of the High scnool building Edward Fisher, of Boggs township, came along with a load of apples. A num- ber of the children ran out to get an apple and Winfield Wallace, the ten year old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Wallace, of Milesburg, fell from the wagon beneatn the rear wheel which ran over his left leg end hip. Fortu- nately no bones were broken and he is now recovering nicely in the Belle- fonte Hospital. Two and three car loads of apples are being shibped from the Bellefonte station every week to Pitts- burgh markets, not counting the cars that are shipped from points along the Central Railroad of Pennsvlvania in Nittany valley. Most of the apples, by the way, come from Nittany val- ley orchards. The price paid the farmers by shippers is thirty cents a bushel for apples off the ground and eighty cents for handpicked fruit. A car holds about eight hundred bush- els of apples, and the value of the same is considerable. Only a few days over three weeks until election day, then shortly afterwards Thanksgiving and Christ- mas will be here before we realize it. And that reminds us. In these days when the slogan is: “Do your Christ- mas shopping early,” it will be the wise merchant who plants his Christ- mas advertisement in line to catch the early buyers. Den’t wait until two or three weeks before Christmas and ex- pect to get vour share of the trade ir the last two weeks. Begin to adver- tise now and keep at it until Christ- mas eve, if you want the business. ——During the ensuing year the Pennsylvania railroad company will spend considerable money on improve- ments on the Bald Eagle Valley rail- road, according to the Tyrone “Her- ald.” While most of the expenditure will be in improving the terminal facilities at Tyrone a new signal an! interlocking system will be installed -at Milesburg. This will also neces- sitate a new tower at that place. Twelve sidings are to be increased in length so as to permir of the vassing of any length of train that may be hauled over that road. To do this will necessitate the wicening of three iron bridges in order to afford room for the additional track. It is un-er- stood that work on these improve- ments will be begun at once in the hope of having them completed as soon as possible. NEWS PURELY PERSONAL, —Col. H. 8.

In fact their conduct was so revolting that only their age and decrepidness saved then: from being ejected from the train. The pair made their appearance at the Tyrone station Tuesday afternoon and so forlorn and apparently pitiable was their condition that the girls who work at the Wilson Chemical plant opposite the Tyrone station took up a collection among themselves, purchas- ed them a quantity of food and gave them several dollars in cash to help them on their way to the Lumber city. An hour or so later both the man and woman were visibly intoxicated, the liquor having been purchased vith a portion of the money contributed by the girls. And while on the train Tuesday evening the bottle was brought forth frequently and the nan would take a drirk and then the wom- an, regardless of the presence of others ir the car; and the language used by both was neither chaste nor refined. spent | returned to Belle- | Ee ? a ! —Frank E. Naginey spent several days | To Drill for Oil in Bald Eagle Valley. Our old-time friend, Christ Sharer, | of Taylor township, is always wide awake and resourceful, and just now { he has gotten some Pittsburgh capi- | talists interested in a movement to | prospect for oil on his lands in the up- | per Bald Eagle valley. In fact a lease { has been taken on hundreds of acres of land and several car loads of drill- ing machinery are on the way to Hannah station, near which place the first test will be put down. Mr. Shar- er feals certain that oil can be found there and an old-time well borer, who was through the Bald Eagle valley on Tuesday, was also somewhat enthusi- astic. He stated that oil deposits ran almost cue north and south and that Taylor township was right in line with the oil belt of the northern part of the State. One thing that has given rise to the belief that there is oil in that vicinity is the presence of oil deposits on pools of stagnant water, but this may be only vegetable oil from decomposed matter in the marshy soil. Be that as it may, however, test holes are to he drilled and the prospectors vill thus find out what is in the ground. Tri-County Ccnference. About two hundred women, ten of whom were from C:ntre county, at- tended the tri-coun!y conference of civic clubs from Centre, Clinton and Lycoming counties, held at the Cen- tral State Normal school, last Satur- day.

At the afternoon session a splendid address was made by Robert Dripps, general secretary of the Pub- lic Chaiities Association, on “The Menace of the Feeble Minded in Penn- sylvania.” The Centre county dele- gates present invited the conference to meet in Bellefonte next October and the invitation was accented. tat ——Mrs. M.
