El Paso, Texas, November 18.
i Quite a change has taken place here
{ since the writing of my last letter and
how I succeed with this one will deter-
mine, to me at least, whether these new
conditions are favorable or not. It is in
reference to our new homes that I am
alluding to. We this week took down
most of our tents which we have con-
stantly used since we were converted
into a cavalry troop, and which comfort-
ably accommodated two men. It took
exactly thirty-two of these tents to sup-
ply our troop, but now, since we have
put up in their place whac are called
worth seening.
——There will be a meeting of the!
Preparedness League in the Director's
room of the High school building, Satur-
day, November 25th, at 3.30 p. m. Mrs.
Melick, State secretary, will give a talk
and a large meeting is desired.
A parcel post social will be held
at the home of Mrs. Irvin Tate, at
Coleville, Friday evening, November
24th. Light refreshments will be
served. The proceeds for the benefit
of the Bellefonte Lutheran church.
“How to be Healthy” is of im-
rortance to everyone. The advice of
Dr. Maxwell Lauterman expresses so
exactly our ideas that it is republish-
ed from the Philadelphia “Ledger.”
Read and heed it. Prevention is
easier than cure.
At a regular session on Mon-
day evening the Millheim borough
council passed an ordinance granting
a franchise to the State--Centre Elee-
tric company to enter that borough
for the purpose of furnishing electric
light and power to residents of the
town.
Centre county gobblers are be-
ing gobbled up for other markets and
the indications now are that many
Bellefonte families will not even
have a turkey leg to give thanks for
next Thursday. But one and all should
at least be thankful for good health
and enough to eat and wear.
From present indications the
December term of court which will be-
gin a week from next Monday will be
a busy as well as interesting one.
District Attorney James C. Furst has
quite a good sized list of criminal
cases to present while there ave a
number of cases on the civil list that
will take some tire to hear.
On Thanksgiving day the Aid
Society of the M. E. church at Pleas-
ant Gap will serve a chicken dinner,
. along with many other good things to
eat, at the church. Also supp~r. lce
cream and cake will be for sale in the
evening. Everybody is most cordial-
ly invited to go and heip along a good
cause and have a pleasant tin:e.
Under the head of “Car Utility
Bulletin” the Pennsylvania railroad
company is appealing to shippers and
purchasers to base orders on maxi-
mum car loads. The present car short-
age is caused in a great measure by
too many cars being out on long hauls
with only about half a capacity load,
while if it were loaded to capacity one
car would make the haul that it now
requires two to make.
-——Bellefonte friends of T. S.
“squad” tents, the numbers on the door-
posts range only to “9.” This has been
done on account of the cold weather and
to make the heating of same easier.
Eight men occupy each home, in the
centre of which is a conical-shaped
stove, and while we appreciate the fact
that it is a great deal warmer than
our former small palaces, still it is
the privacy that we are missing. It
is almost heart-breaking, (so the boys
think), to break up with your “bunkie ”.
and make your home with a new set and
have to learn their ways and modes of
living. Songs of the “Old Homestead”
‘often penetrate the air, but more often
one can hear the coaxing and the beg-
ging of the squad leader to his men,
entreating them to “fetch more wood.”
It is an entirely new form for us, but we
are getting along in a remarkably agree -
able way, and no boxing matches are
anticipated as the direct cause of it.
A stove has also been placed in the
mess hall and four of them at the Y. M.
C. A. They surely do make a great pre-
scription for driving away the cold chills,
these real cool evenings, and frequently
days.
The other evening one of our men re-
turned from the city on a late train,
while we were all in the arms of Mor-
pheus and undertook to play a little joke
on some of the boys. He therewith
awoke a few, got them out into the troop
street, and while they were shivering
with the extreme cold of the night and
rubbing their eyes, he told them that the
Colonel wanted to know if each man
knew how many buttons there were on
his overcoat. That he wasn’t lynched
the next morning will always be consid-
ered a miracle, and for that reason I am
not mentioning any names.
Up to this week it has been the cus-
tom of each troop to detail a certain
number of men for regimental guard
and fatigue duty. A new system has
now been inaugurated whereby an entire
troop takes up these duties for the day.
This tends to keep the troop intact while
out for drill periods, and is very satisfac-
tory to all concerned. Troop L was on
duty on Thursday and beside doing the
regimental guard unloaded three cars of
hay, one of oats and one of wood, distrib-
uted the bread and ice for the regiment
and looked after the headquarters work.
Being a little short of men it was quite a
sight to see Lieut. Smith in the hay car
under the boss-ship of Corporal Decker,
Capt. Curtin being officer of the day and
Lieut. Taylor officer of the guard. This
will now excuse us from further detail
until about Thanksgiving day.
The First Pennsylvania artillery left
on Tuesday evening amidst the plaudits
of our section of the division, and while
the famous Virella band, of Pittsburgh,
played “Home, Sweet Home,” Chaplain
Strawn, of Pittsburgh, will he inter-
ested in learning that he is about to |
embark in the hotel business again,
-having leased the Monongahela Boss
at Brownsville, Fayette county, for a
period of fifteen years. The house is |
one of the most modern in that part |
of the State and contains in the neigh-
borhood of seventy-five rooms. Mr.
Strawn will take charge of the hotel
on December 5th.
Every man, woman and child
just naturally selects the company
and associations they prefer, and the
big majority of them select the
Scenic as their favorite motion pic-
ture show. They do so because they
have confidence in Mr. Brown’s judg-
ment in selecting the best pictures
obtainable for exhibition there. Mr.
Brown doesn’t depend entirely on the
regular service pictures but when
there is anything special and real
good on the market he gets it. And
that is the reason that Scenic pro-
grams are always good.
——Col. Emanuel Noll, the very
efficient baggage master at the P. R.
R. station, celebrated his sixty-ninth
birthday anniversary on Wednesday
evening by entertaining a few of his
mutual friends at a chicken and waffle
supper at his cosy home on north Al-
legheny street. Those present includ-
ed Monroe Armor, Henry Taylor,
Hammon Sechler, Amos Garbrick and
Robert Sechler. Though an old sol-
dier of the Civil war Mr. Noll is a
well preserved man and enjoys re-
markable health. He has held his
present position with the Pennsylva-
nia railroad for upwards of thirty
vears and one more year and he will
reach the age of retirement from
Miller graced our board for his last sup-
per down here, and then gave the boys
a very interesting talk. He has that
wonderful gift of gab that holds any
kind of an audience until the last word
is said.
This week we took up hurdling ex-
ercises and we are proud to state that
every man in the troop knows the cor-
rect aid to be given his mount in order
to make him jump the hurdle, and 1t is
done with as much order as we do our
famous “fours left” on the gallop. The
main trouble in going over the jumps is
that we raise so much dust, and the only
way we can tell whether we are still on
the horse, is by the feel of our feet in
the stirrups. Some dust, you will admit.
There appears to be an epidemic of
typhus fever down here and all precau-
tions are being taken to prevent it get-
ting among the troops. This afternoon
we were given a vaccine inocculation for
para-typhoid, a malady which is suppos-
ed to resemble typhoid fever and which
has also made its appearance here on
the border and in northern Mexico. This
will be followed by three more trips to
the hospital on the next three Saturday
evenings before the inocculating process
is complete. Considering the way it
stiffens a fellow’s arm and the soreness
that follows Ican’t see how we will be
able to drill for a month. I sincerely
hope the captain and the colonel will see
this letter, so they may act according to
my present judgment.
“Red” Royer and “Dode” Miller, who
have at last laid claim to the champion
horseshoe pitchers team of the regiment,
are now open for dates to meet any and
all comers who dispute their right to the
title.
he weather is at present moderating
considerably to what it had been the
earlier part of the week and things are
service, !
getting to be lots more comfortable.
The Boal machine gun troop have re-
ceived their guns, four in number, which
are mounted on Ford chassis, and they
have started practice. Otherwise all is
serenely calm, and the health of the men,
aside from colds, is very satisfactory.
The boys join me in sending their best
regards, and also regrets, as we fear we
won’t be home to partake of the Thanks-
giving turkey.
[With turkeys 40 cents the pound, and
darn scarce at that, a whole lot of us at
home won't eat turkey, anyway.—Editor. ]

——Mrs. Lyman Smith is ill at her
home at Centre Hall, suffering from a
broken ankle.
—Only four members of borough
council turned up at the public building
on Monday evening and the result was
that no meeting of council was held.
The labor bills were paid the next day
and other bills held over until the next
meeting of council.
——Many complaints have been made
of the children in the neighborhood of
the hospital using its lawn as a public
play ground, in consequence of which, a
request is sent to all parents of that lo-
cality to make themselves responsible
for keeping their child or children off the
hospital grounds. If this does not put:
an end to the complaints other more ef-
fective means will be used.
——Millheim was the scene of a big
jollification meeting last Saturday even-
ing when the Democrats of lower Penns-
valley joined in a celebrhtion over the
re-election of President Wilson. The
parade was over half a mile long and
included horsemen, hundreds of men
and boys marching on foot, automobile
floats, the Coburn and Aaronsburg bands
and a drum corps. Following the parade
a meeting was held which was addressed
by Col. H. S. Taylor, W. D. Zerby and
others.
Dr. Wilhelmine E. Key will lec-
ture on Eugenics for the Woman's
club, next Monday evening, November
27th, at eight o’clock, in the High
school building. Dr. Key is a gradu-
ate of the University of Wisconsin;
Doctor of Philoscrhy of the Universi-
ty of Chicago, and is engaged in re-
search on Eugenics under the Carne-
gie Institution. Her work is well
known in the scientific world. As it is
the first opportunity given Bellefonte
of hearing a special lecturer on this
subject, the meeting will be open to
the public.
A joint meeting of the Clear-
field county commissioners and the
board of road and bridge viewers of
Centre county was held at Philips-
burg last Thursdsy to decide upon the
proposed new inter-county bridge over
Moshannon creek. The Centre coiifi-
ty viewers stated that they would be
willing to recommend a new bridge
and any and all testimony for or
against it will be heard at a meeting
of the viewers to be held in the grand
jury room at the court house next
Monday. The Clearfield county com-
missioners, it is stated, were not very
enthusiastic about joining in the erec-
tion of the bridge.
Last Saturday n:embers of the
Senior class of the Hollidaysburg
High school, accompanied by several
members of the faculty, made a trip
to State College to see that big insti-
tution. On the return trip, in the vi-
cinity of Graysville, a tire on the car
driven by John Hunter blew out which
caused the car to turn and go down
over an embankment. In addition to
Hunter the occupants of the car were
Edwin Eberly, Bert Vipond and Mary
Rooney, of Hollicaysburg, and Melis-
sa Lingenfelter and Laura Walter, of
East Freedom. Miss Lingenfelter fell
under the car in such a way that gas-
oline from the lecking tank ran into
her mouth and being unable to move
she swallowed a quantity of it, mak-
ing her quite sick. None of the occu-
pants suffered any serious body in-
juries although they all suffered from
shock. However, another automobile
was secured and they continued their
journey home.
A Good Show Tomorrow Night.
In a season when Shakespeare is
ignored by Sothern and Marlowe, it is
distinctly inspiring to learn that
America’s leading Shakespearean ac-
tor, John E. Kellerd has secured
Charles B. Hanford and the beautiful
Khyva St. Albans to assist bim in
presenting the Merchant of Venice at
Garman’s, tomcrrow (Saturday)
evening. The company is without
doubt the strongest ever assembled to
present the works of the Bard of
Avon, and includes that handsome
young juvenile, Brandon Peters, W.
T. Throne, Milton Nobles, Jr., E. Alan
Cooper, and a score of others. The
costumes for Mr. Kellerd’s organiza-
tion were designed especially for this
production and are not only exquisite-
ly beautiful, but historically correct.
The stage settings are truly magnifi-
cent, and are works of art. In fact
nothing has been left undone to make
this tour memorable. Mr Kellerd is an
acknowledged authority on Shakes-
peare and Charles B. Hanford is
known to all our playgoers, having
appeared in Bellefonte some years
ago in “The Taming of the Shrew.”
Prices, 25, 50 and 75 cents, $1.00 and
a few at $1.50.

Academy vs. Mansfield Normal.

‘a thrilling contest between two of the
strongest preparatory schools in the
State. Mansfield Normal, which is
{always a very strong team, will try
conclusious with the Bellefonte Acad.
The visitors are heavy
land will put up a wonderful fight
against thc boys on the hill The
| game will be called a: 2.30 anu will
last the regulation rifteen minute
quarters.
The Academy boys hav> had a
splendid record this year, defeating
Lewistown Ex-High two games, by
scores of 19-0 and 51-0, Jersey Shore
24-0 and Bucknell Reserves 20-0.
While outplaying Indiana Normal and
the Pitt Freshmen, as the records
show, vet through the unlucky breaks
of football they lost to the former on
a muddy field by the score of 9-0 and
to the latter 7-6. The only team that
outclassed the Academy eleven was
the State Freshmen, which has out-
played all preparatory school oppo-
nents by sccres of fifty points or more
to nothing, while they had a hard time
defeating the Academy 25-0.
Inasmuch as there will be no game
at State tomorrow, nor anywhere else
in this section, everybody should go
out to Hughes field and see this game.

ber game will be called at 2.30 o’clock.

Pennsylvania day at State College
will likely prove a remunerative one

sors have arranged an automobile

made before justice of the peace G.
W. Rees, of this place, on Saturday.
The list of automobilists caught 'in-
cludes owners from all over central
Pennsylvania and one from Philadel-
phia. No Bellefonters or Centre
countians, however, appear upon the
list. According to the data returned

twenty-eight were going some.
