Camp Thomas J. Stewart,
El Paso, Texas, November 11.
Little did we imagine exactly four
months ago today, when we landed here
on the desert, that we would still be here
at this time, without any more prospects
of or certainty of our future movements
than we had at that time.
i We realize, of course, that from a mili-
i tary standpoint we are now incompara-
bly better than when we left Mt. Gretna,
but there is an anxiety among the men
! to know at this time something more
| definite as to our plans in the days to
tents and lay out our equipment for in-
spection. It was quite a compliment to
hear that we were one of the best equip-
ped troops in the regiment and when the
order was issued to drop tents and re-
‘saddle, troop L was the first to report
{ to the Major. It was one of those occa-
‘ sions that made Capt. Curtin feel as
| though he was bossing on a real job.
We have now a hot water attachment
| to our bath room, and while we admit
it is somewhat of a luxury, still we would
| prefer it on the second floor of some
home on Spring street. It’s just a little
' too cool to fully appreciate the benefits
that are derived after one leaves the
| bath house.
While writing this the First field artil-
! lery, of which Williamsport is a unit, is
i loading its guns in preparation for its
departure for home. The command ex-
pects to leave Tuesday or Wednesday.
| Except for a few slight colds the boys
while he was a pretty sick man for a | come. All because outside of the long- 3r¢ continuing in excellent health, and
few hours he is now getting along all
right.
—Dr. Ezra H. Yocum was in Altoona
last night where he was the principal
speaker at the fourth annual banquet at
the Altoona Methodist Episcopal socia]
union, which was held in the Grace M.
E. church.
A large buck was found in the
reservoir of the Philipsburg Water
company, last Friday, the animal hav-
ing taken refuge there after being
run down by dogs, and unable to get
out finally drowned.
——Returning home from a trip to
Bellefonte last Saturday Mrs. John Oden-
kirk was walking up the concrete walk
to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Abner
Alexander, at Centre Hall, when she
slipped and fell breaking her left arm.
——Mrs. Annie E. Krise, wife of W. A.
Krise, of Centre Hall, who was stricken
with paralysis two weeks ago, is consid-
erably improved. Mr. Krise, who has
also been ill since Memorial day, is now
better than he has been for some weeks.
——The Parish Guild of St. John’s
church will hold an exchage at the par-
ish house, Saturday afternoon, November
18th, at two o'clock. Home-made bread,
pies, cakes and candy will be on sale. A
cordial invitation is given everyone to go
and buy.
——MTrs. Melick, of Philadelphia, state
secretary of the Pennsylvania woman’s
division for national preparedness of the
American Red Cross, will be in Bellefonte
on November 24th or 25th, and will tell
about the work. The place and exact
date will be published in this paper next
week. :
——Announcement has been made
of the engagement of Miss Jennié
Crittenden and Mr. Johnson, both of
Waterbuy, Conn., the wedding to
take place at Christmas time. Miss
Crittenden is a daughter of the late
Rev. Richard Crittenden, and lived
much of her life in Bellefonte.
——Wiliiam B. Wallis, of Crafton, is a
surgical patient in the Bellefonte hospital
having been operated on Sunday morn-
ing for appendicitis. Although the oper-
ation was regarded as serious, Mr. Wal-
lis is recovering rapidly from its effects.
Mrs. Wallis is here with her husband,
remaining with her parents Mr. and Mrs.
J. Will Conley, for the fall.
High class attractions in the
motion picture line are now being
shown at the Scenic every evening.
They include some of the best modern
dramas as well as scenarios especially
written for the up-to-date moving
picture companies. In fact there is
no place in Bellefonte where you can
get as much substantial entertain-
ment for the money as an evening at
the Scenic will afford. If vou are not
a regular patron, try it once and see.
A brief item in the “Watch-
man” last week stated that Mr. Ceo.
C. Wilson, of Tyrone, was the owner
of the “Lady Luxury” show which
appeared here last Friday evening
and on Wednesday night of this week.
This was a mistake. The show is
owned and managed by Mr. Guy Rur-
ley, who at one time had charge of the
Wilson opera house in Tyrone, and it
was this association that probably
caused the rumor that Vir. Wilson was
back of the “Lady Luxury” show.
—Mrs. Thomas King Morris ‘was
general chairman of the shirtwaist
ball, given at Motor Square Garden,
Pittsburgh, Friday night of last
week. This was the most pretentious
entertainment ever attempted by
the suffragists of Pittsburgh and Al-
legheny county, twenty-five hundred
dollars being realized from the sale of
tickets while three thousand persons
attended the ball. The sub-chairmen
represented the wealthiest and most
prominent society women of the city.
——-Judge Singleton Bell, of Clear-
field, has set next Monday, Novem-
ber 27th, as the date on which to take
test) nony in the case of the Common-
wealth vs. D. O. Downing, charged
with shooting with attempt to kill and
attempted bank robbery. Witnesses
have been subpcenaed to appear in
court and give testimony. Inasmuch
as Downing has already plead guilty
it is believed that the taking of tes-
timony will be in the line of informa-
tion for the court in aiding him to
determine the exact degree of Down-
ing’s crime and what sentence should
be imposed.
ing to be home, there is such a vast dif-
{knew what was to happen we could
| make preparations accordingly. That is, |
; in making arrangements for the winter,
i but as long as we do not know what is
in the wind, we are just about summer-
ing it along, same as we did a month or
I so ago.
| Last Sunday, against the wishes of
nearly 1,200 men, the Colonel had us
saddle up quite early in the morning,
parade out on the field and then made
us all look very pleasant while a local
photographer focused his machine on
the entire regiment. It is some picture,
going to be the proud possessor of one
will be taxed to the limit of two iron
men, which 1s some blow, when one gen-
erally has his pay spent far in advance
of pay-day.
Monday was another of the big fea-
ture days, which are getting to be quite
common in this part of the country.
division review, staged for the sole ben
efit of the election commissioners sent
down by the great Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania to take the vote of the citi-
zen soldiery. The review was witnessed
by an enthusiastic audience of El Paso-
ans as well as the cavalry from Tennes-
see and North Carolina who, it must be
said, admit that we have a little on them
when it comes down to the cavalry sub-
ject.
The election was pulled off as fine as
any ward-heeler could have wished for.
The day being proclaimed a holiday
throughout the camp brought the voters
out in full force, there not being any such
thing: as a stay-at-home to be reckcned
with. Sergeants Decker and Wetzel and
Corporal Gordon were elected judge and
inspectors. and they appointed Sergeant
Deering and your correspondent as
clerks. We opened the polls at exactly
9 a. m., and Capt. Curtin voted No. 1 just
four minutes later. Each troop had its
own polls located at the captain’s quar-
ters, "but we fixed up two booths at the
mess hall and they served the purpose
admirably. The commissioner who hap-
pened to be assigned to the cavalry regi-
ment hails from Williamsport, but he
never came around to give us a chance
to become acquainted, hence my lack of
mentioning his name.
The voting was quite brisk, there be-
ing fifty-four qualified elcctors in the
outfit, and the polls were closed at 12
o'clock noon. On account of the extra
work attached to recording the vote by
counties the result was not announced
until a little past four o’clock in the
afternoon. In one case a new set of
books had to be opened, just because
Sergt. Smith is a resident of Blair county
in our troop. The vote stood Wilson 21,
Hughes 30 and one Prohibition, two men
not voting for President. Orvis led Knox
by a vote of four to one, which was
gratifying to the Democrats for the com-
pliment paid their candidate. The elec-
tien board later went to the city to see
the election returns which were thrown
upon a screen by the leading newspapers
of El Paso, and when we came back to
camp about midnight the election of
Hughes was conceded. But we know
better now. The Republicans gave a
little celebration party the follow-
ing evening and now they are wonder-
ing why they did it.
Beside drilling, as we expect in the
forenoon, we feel as though we can’t
count on any time being rightfully our
own, as on Wednesday night about 9.15
the call “To Arms” was sounded from
headquarters and every nan in the regi-
ment, whether he had retired for the
and ordered to fall in line, fully dressed
and armed with his rifle and pistol, and
after a roll call had been made we were
marched in review before the Colonel,
then dismissed.
Again on Friday night, at nearly eight
o'clock, there was a sudden call of boots
and saddles which brought the regiment
to its feet, and again we were ordered to
saddle horses and pack full equipment.
It being moonlight the work was done in
record time and we were then marched
to Fort Bliss and return, a distance of
four miles. This is all very lovely, but
quite uncomfortable these cold nights.
It is good military experience, but a lit-
tle tough to be yanked out from between
the warm covers and we feel here that
our appetites would still continue if these
little pranks were not pulled off.
This morning, fully equipped, we
marched out past Tobi and an order was
issued by Col. Wood to pitch “puppy”

——On Wednesday of last week
Dr. H. C. Helfrich, who has been a
resident of Bellefonte the past three
vears or more, moved his belongings
to State College and will make that
town his home in the future. He will
still have charge of the five and;ten
cent store on the corner of Allegheny
and Bishop streets and will spend a
day or two each week in Bellefonte
looking after the business at the store
and in practicing his profession. The
remainder of the time will be spent at
State College, where he also has a
store.
Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Budinger, of
Snow Shoe, with their daughters,
Misses Blanche and Sara, and son
Karl, are now at their winter home in
St. Petersburg, Fla., having made the
trip south by automobile. They left
Snow Shoe on Wednesday, October
25th, and made Ridgeville, Md., the
first night. Thursday night was spent
in Fredericksburg, Va., Friday night
in South Hill, Va.; white Sunday was
spent at Southern Pines, N.C. On
Monday they motored as far as Co-
lumbia, S. C.; Tuesday to Savannah,
Ga.; Wednesday to Brunswick, Ga.;
while Thursday and Friday were
spent at Jacksonville, Florida. They
reached Gainsville, Florida, on Sat-
urday and the next day arrived
at St. Petersburg. Good roads were
found on about nine-tenths of the
journey, while the balance was a
little rough and rutty, but at that
they were able to make an av-
erage of twenty miles an hour. The
worst stretch of road they encounter-
ed was between Washington, D. C.,
and Richmond, Va. They will spend
the winter in St. Petersburg.

Deer Hunting Season Approacheth.
The deer hunting season in Penn-
sylvania will open just two weeks
from today, or on Friday, December
1st, and Centre county hunters are
anticipating some fine sport and good
returns. It has been a number of
vears since deer have been as plenti-
ful in Centre county as they have
been the past summer. In fact it has
been no unusual sight to see herds of
deer pasturing in the fields adjacent
to the mountains, and even boldly
crossing the valleys from one moun-
tain to another. Hunters who have
been out on the mountains for small
game aver that the mountain roads
and marshy land are literally covered
with deer tracks. And they are not
all does, either, as quite a number of
bucks have been seen.
Numerous hunting parties through-
out Centre county have already pre-
empted their camp sites and in ten
days will be migrating toward the
woods to have their camps in order
and everything in readiness for the
opening day. Just how many will go
from Bellefonte is not known at this
writing, but it is likely the town will
be pretty well represented.

ing Mark.
| Allen Heisey, the twelve year old
| son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Heisey, of
| Pleasant Gap, was shot in the head by
, his fifteen vear old brother, Chester
{ Heisey, on Tuesday afterncon, and |
| died less than two hours afterward.
The two boys had on <everal previous
occasions gone to the home of Samuel
Zettle, near the fish hatchery, to shoot
pigeons that the latter was trying to
get rid of.
Tuesday afternoon they, with
another companion, went to the Zettle
home to try their luck on the pigeons.
Chester had a twenty-two calibre tar-
get rifle. Failing to get any good
shots at pigeons the boys got to
shooting mark. Chester took deliber-
ate aim and just as he pulled the trig-
ger the younger brother ran in front
i of the gun the bullet penetrating his
head below the right temple. Help
was promptly summoned and the boy
was brought to the Bellefonte hospit-
‘al but he died chortly after being
| brought to that institution.
| In additicn to the grief-stricken
| parents there survive the following
brothers and sisters: Mrs. Ralph

Pleasant Gap cemetery.
Suffrage Association Convention.
The call of the Pennsylvania Wom-
ans Suffrage Association sent out
during the past week, for its forty-
eighth annual convention, to be held
in Williamsport November 21-24 in-
clusive, is very striking 'in appear-
ance, heing printed upon brown paper
and ornamented with a large gold seal
in the center of which is stamped,
“Votes for Women.” The tentative
prcgram announces that Jonas Fisch-
er, mayor of Williamsport, will make
the welcome address and among the
women who will take part in the pro-
gram will be Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Catt, president of the national organ-
ization; Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, hon-
orary president of the national or-
ganization; Mrs. George B. Orlady,
State President; Mrs. Gifford Pinchot,
Mrs. John O. Miller, Miss M. Carey
Thomas, Mrs. Jean Kane Foulke and
a number of other well known women
of Pennsylvania. Charles Zueblin,
Prof. of sociology in the Chicago
University, and Hon. Louis F. Post,
U. S. Asst. Sec’y of Labor, will he the
speakers Wednesday evening. It is
hoped that Centre county will be rep-
resented by a large delegation, every
precinct sending its delegate to this
conference of women.
George A. Beezer’s new garage on
north Water street, the Centry county
agency of the famous Studebaker car,
is beautiful in architectural design
and workmanship, and would be a
credit to any location on the most
prominent streets of the town. Now
that the scaffolding has been remov-
ed and the roof almost completed it
stands out in bola relief in its location
on Water street. Its broad facades
and numerous pillars on the front of
the building stand out in bold relief
and harmonize splendidly with its
many double windows of small paned
glass. It at once conveys the impres-
sion of solidarity and security, its
construction of concrete, steel and
brick rendering it as near fire-proof
as such buildings can be made. When
entirely completed Mr. Beezer will
have a garage sccond to none in Cen-
tral Pennsylvania, with ample size
and equipment to care for his large
and increasing business and plenty of
room to store and show off to advan-
tage he new Studebaker car.
Arm Ground to Pieces in Corn Shred-
der.
While feeding a corn husker and
shredder, on Monday morning, New-
ton Yarnell, who farms the David J.
Meyer farm near Linden Hall, got his
left hand caught in the rapidly re-
volving cylinder and before the ma-
chine could be stopped his arm was
literally ground to pieces up to the el-
bow. The accident happened shortly
after the men started to work in the
morning. So tightly was Mr. Yar-
nell’s arm drawn into the machine
that it took almost an hour to extri-
cate him.
First aid treatment was given and
he was then brought to the Bellefonte
hospital where the arm was amputat-
ed three inches above the elbow. He
has suffered considerakle from shock,
but is doing splendidly now and his
speedy recovery seems assured, if no
complications develop.
Today will be Pennsylvania
Day at State College and the ' usually
large crowd is expected to be present.
The big features of the day will be the
exhibition drill by the college cadets
and the State-Lafayette football
game this afternoon. Last Saturday
State defeated Lehigh by the score of
10 to 7, but there is no record to show
their comparative strength with the
Lafayette eleven. One thing is cer-
tain, however, it will be a game worth
seeing.
