A BIG PATRIOTIC GATHERING.
Several Thousand People Attended
Flag Raising and Meeting at
Bellefonte. Academy on Sunday.
Bellefonte was patriotically arous-
ed on Sunday afternoon by a monster
meeting held at the Bellefonte Acad-
emy as a demonstration of true chris-
tian patriotism and in conjunction
therewith headmaster James R.
Hughes flung to the breeze the stars
and stripes above the flags of all the
allied nations; at war with Central
Europe. :
Prior to the opening of the meeting
at three o’clock there was a parade of
Troop L on horse, headed by Our Boys
band, ‘of Milesburg, from the armory
to the Academy. In the parade was
‘a drum corps led by George W. Rum-
berger, of Unionville, while the Belle-
fonte Academy students marched in a
body in the rear of the forty-seven
troopers.
Arriving at the Academy there was
music by the Academy orchestra and
an invocation by Dr. Ambrose M.
Schmidt. Immediately thereafter
eight Academy boys raised the flags
“The
Star Spangled Banner.” At the top
of the string of flags proudly floated
the stars and stripes; next was the
tricolor of France, the Union jack of
Great Britain, the flags of Belgium,
Russia, Italy and Japan. All of the
flags except the stars and stripes were
made at the Academy.
Headmaster James R. Hughes told
of the purpose of the meeting and
lauded the people of Bellefonte and
Centre county for their patriotism
and prompt response to every call of
their country. He then introduced as
the first speaker of the day Dean
Arthur C. Holmes, of State College.
While Dean Holmes is no stranger
in Bellefonte it was probably the first
time that a Bellefonte audience heard
him make an address on such a topic,
but every man and woman within the
sound of his voice was thrilled with
the love of country and the principles
of our government when he predicted
that this country would be the ruling
destiny in extending democracy to all
lands and all peoples on the face of
the earth.
At the conclusion of Dean Holmes’
speech the Academy students sang
the song “Keep the Home Fires
Burning.” Other addresses were
made by Col. J. L. Spangler and Col.
H. S. Taylor.
_ Prior to the breaking up of the
meeting James R. Hughes stated that
there was one thing he wanted to
bring to the attention of the public.
And that was that there is every like-
lihood that Troop L will soon be call-
ed to the colors and there is one thing
they are badly in need of and that is
a small auto truck for the quick
transportation of supplies, and he
suggested that it would be a patriotic
move on the part of the public at
large to start a subscription to buy
them one. He suggested that contri-
butions be limited to one dollar so as
to give everybody ‘a chance to con-
tribute, and at the conclusion of his
remarks a lady stepped to the front
and said she would give five dollars.
A gentleman also stated that he would
give a dollar, and Mr. Hughes at once
requested Harry C. Valentine to act
as treasurer of the fund. So if the
public is willing to contribute to this
cause all contributions can be sent to
Mr. Valentine. i
The meeting closed with the bene-
diction by Rev. James P. Hughes,
principal emeritus, of the Academy.
Leg Broken by Kick of a Horse.
First Lieut. E. R. Taylor, of Troop
L, First Pennsylvania cavalry, had his
right leg broken by a kick of one of
the cavalry horses while at drill at
the fair grounds on Sunday morning,
and the injury will keep him confined
to the house six weeks or more.
Capt. Curtin took the troop to the
fair grounds on Sunday morning to
exercise the horses and drill prior to
the parade on Sunday afternoon.
Lieut. Taylor was riding from the
rear to the head of the troop when a
horse kicked him on the right leg,
breaking the bone about midway be-
tween the knee and ankle. So hard
did the animal kick that the corks of
its shoes cut through Lieut. Taylor's
leggings, his military trousers, stock-
ing and underclothing and cut a hole
in his leg.
He was given first aid treatment by
Lieut. Claude Smith then taken to his
home in an automobile where the
fracture was reduced and the injury
properly attended to, but on Tuesday
it was deemed advisable to take him
to the Bellefonte hospital and insert
a plate in order to insure a proper
knitting of the bone. The worst fea-
ture of the injury is that it will keep
Lieut. Taylor ‘out of the service for
probably two months.
The same morning the saddle on
Sergt. Harry Shreffler’s horse slipped,
owing to the girth being too’loose and
he fell to the ground, but aside from
having his trousers leg badly split up
the side he was unhurt. The two ac-
cidents happening in one day was a|
stroke of hard luck, and more than
the entire troop had during their stay
on the Mexican border.

Bellefonte gentlemen motored over to
Philipsburg and on top of the Alle-
gheny mountain they were caught in

them will drive the trucks to Belle-
fonte.
On Tuesday evening, May 1st,
a “Social Musicale” was held at the
residence of Miss Mary Bradley, by

ty-six numbers was rendered, in which

——The first advance agent for
Coop & Lents’ circus was in Belle-
fonte last Saturday making arrange-
ments for the appearance of the show
here on Saturday, June 2nd. This is
a western circus and this is its first
trip through the east. It is said to]
take twenty cars to convey it from
town :to town and, naturally, is claim-
ed to be the best show of its size on
the road.
The Scenic is now showing
Hearst’s Pathe news pictures every
Monday and Saturday evenings,
which makes a feature of the week’s
program worth seeing. Of course
this is only a small part of the good
pictures shown and in order to get the
benefit of all of them a person must
be a regular attendant. The first
show begins promptly at 6:40 o’clock
and a full two hours of pictures are
shown.
W. T. Kelly, station agent of
the Pennsylvania railroad in this
place, informs the “Watchman” that
he has a limited number of copies of
a booklet on growing potatoes which
has been declared by experts to be one
of the best treatises along this line to
be found. Inasmuch as the number is
limited he cannot send them out indis-
criminately but if any potato grower
in the county is interested enough to
wish one and will apply to Mr. Kelly
he will very gladly forward the same.

How many of the present day
politicians of Centre county know that
Mr. John P. Harris, of the Bellefonte
Trust company, was very generally
spoken of as a possible and very de-
sirable Republican candidate for State
Treasurer in 1875. How many living
today recall that in April of that year
the late Governor Hastings was ad-
mitted to the practice of law after he
had been principal of the schools here
for nine years and who remembers the
big Methodist Sunday school picnic at
Snow Shoe Intersection when Col.
Jack Spangler nearly busted up the
festivities in a game of blind man’s
buff because every lady he caught
when he was blindfolded he gave “a
regular bear hug.”
Miss Ruth Rapp finished a suc-
cessful term of school at Moshannon
on April 27th and returned home on
Sunday of last week. A farewell sur-
prise party was held on Friday even-
ing in her honor. Every one report-
ed an enjoyable evening. Refresh-
ments were served, and all returned
home at an early hour. Those pres-
ent were: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Ward, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Culver,
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gleason, all of
Snow Shoe. Mrs. John Lucas, Mrs.
Harry Yeager, Mrs. Bruce Culver,
Mrs. Thomas Kerin, Mrs. Raymond

RED CROSS DRIVE NOW ON.
Residents of Bellefonte Engaged in a
Campaign to Enlist One Thous-
and Members.
A good sized crowd gathered at the
court house last Friday evening in
response to a call to organize for Red
Cross work. Col. J. L. Spangler pre-
sided and Miss Katherine Musser act-
ed as secretary. Col. Spangler warm-
ly advocated a complete organization
for the work and outlined the differ-
ence between: a Red Cross Chapter
and an Auxiliary. One of the princi-
pal features is that to organize a
Chapter is attendant with more ex-
pense and detail work, while half the
money contributed can be devoted by
the Chapter to whatever Red Cross
work it sees fit. An Auxiliary is re-
quired to turn over to the Chapter
with which it is affiliated all the mon-
ey collected.
After Col. Spangler had thorough-
ly explained both the meeting was
thrown open for discussion and quite a
number of those present took occasion
to give their views on the matter. In-
asmuch as the advocates of each
branch of the work seemed to be
about of equal strength it was decid-
ed to make a canvass of the town and
county in a campaign to enlist at least
one thousand members and on motion
the chairman appointed the following
ten ladies and gentlemen as the cap-
tains of ten teams to make the can-
vass:
Mrs. John Curtin, Miss Mary
Blanchard, Mrs. R. S. Brouse, Mrs. D.
H. Hastings, Mrs. Odillie Mott, Mrs.
Mollie Valentine, James R. Hughes,
Edmund Blanchard, Jonas E. Wagner
and Mrs. J. Thomas Mitchell.
Each of the captains appointed a
committee of ten to do the canvassing
‘and the big drive started early on Sat-
urday morning. In fact one young
lady secured her allotment of ten
members before noon that day.
Another meeting will be held in the
court house tomorrow evening at
eight o'clock when reports from the
various captains will show how the
work is progressing.
School Children Now
itors.
The educational thrift service in-
augurated in the Bellefonte public
schools last Friday started out very
favorably. The first day’s deposits
amounted to just $48.84. This amount
came from 162 school children, about
twenty-one per cent. of the total at-
tendance. Quite a number of pupils
failed to make a deposit because they
overlooked it while some, of course,
may not have been in a position to de-
posit even a penny. On the whole,
however, the inauguration of the serv-
ice was quite successful and if it re-
sults in teaching what it is designed
to do, economy and thrift, it cannot
help but be of potential benefit to the
children now and in the years to come
when they go out into the world to
earn their own living.
Dedicatory Services.
The final dedicatory services of the
beautiful new Lutheran church at
Pleasant Gap will, take place on Sun-
day. Continuing the services which
have been held this week there will be
a service tomorrow evening at which
Rev. T. W. Young, chaplain of the
western penitentiary will preach the
sermon. The dedicatory sermon on
Sunday morning will be preached by
Dr. Charles T. Aikens, president of
the Susquehanna University. Sunday
evening Rev. W. M. B. Glanding, of
the Bellefonte Lutheran church, will
be the minister in charge. The pub-
lic is invited to all these services.
