Almost 900° Members Enrolled in| Week's Campaign. Temporary | Organization Perfected. Almost nine hundred members of the Red Cross, or to be exact just 889, were enrolled as the result of the first week of the campaign, according to re- ports submitted at the meeting held in ing. The ten captains appointed at the meeting on Friday evening, May 4th, to solicit members reported as follows: Mrs. John Curtin.................. 127 Miss Mary Miles Blanchard....... 175 Mrs. R.'S. Brouse,....:...........: 19 Mrs. D. H. Hastings.........::.... 209 Mrs. Odillie Mott. ..........5....5.4 125 Mrs. Mollie Valentine....... le 15 5 Jamies BR, Hughes.................. 35 Edmund -Blanchard................ 46 Jonas BE. wWagmer........cc....000 7 Mrs. J. Thomas Mitchell.......... 66 Obadiah dete 889 When the reports had all been handed in Col. Spangler, who presid- ed, congratulated all the captains on the good work done and urged them to keep it up. The meeting was then thrown open to discussion as to the kind of organization to perfect. The matter was threshed out pretty thor- oughly and it was finally decided to organize an Auxiliary at Large, and the same was done by electing the fol- lowing officers: President, John Blanchard; secretary, J. Thomas Mitchell; treasurer, Charles M. Mec- Curdy. A name for the Auxiliary has not yet been determined upon as permission must first be secured from the Na- tional Red Cross Chapter but if that can be secured it will either be called the Bellefonte Auxiliary or the Centre county Auxiliary. The latter will de- pend entirely on the response from other sections of the county. The members so far enrolled are mostly from Bellefonte and immediate vicini- ty, but Col. Spangler, who is chair- county, will push the work in every section of the county and if the peo- ple in other sections prefer it the lo- cal organization will be made a coun- ty unit. If other sections of the coun- ty respond as liberally as Bellefonte has done an organization with at least five thousand members can be per- fected. Who Will Be the Next. Harry C. Valentine authorizes the announcement that he has received the first subscription of five dollars in cash toward purchasing a truck for the use of Troop L in the field, a laud- able project launched by Mr. James R. Hughes at the flag raising at the Academy on Sunday, May 6th. Mr. Valentine consulted Capt. Curtin and the latter unhesitatingly stated that they were considerably handicapped in their transportation facilities while stationed on the border last summer, and would have been in a worse condi- tion had it not been for the kindness of Lieut. Boal, who granted them the use of the machine gun troop truck. Realizing the advantage it would be to Troop L to have a truck Mr. Valen- tine therefore announces that he will cheerfully act as treasurer of the fund and will gladly accept any and all contributions. As soon as enough has been received to warrant it the names of the donors and amount giv- en will be published in the papers. Now that the fund has been started who will be the next to help it along. Forest Fires On the Mountains, Fierce forest fires have been rag- ing on the mountains in Centre coun- ty this week but most of them were either extinguished or under control yesterday. In the Snow Shoe section twenty-five acres of woodland joining the Gunsallus farm were burned over, the fire originating from burning dry grass in a field. A second fire broke out on the Lehigh Valley Coal compa- ny’s land and between five and six hundred acres of exceptionally fine young timber was destroyed. This fire is thought to have originated frora a spark from a locomotive. Down in the lower end of Pennsval- ley, in the neighborhood of Paddy Mountain, there was also a bad fire. When: the passenger train west on the Lewisburg & Tyrone railroad passed through on Wednesday afternoon it virtually ran a gauntlet of fire, hot cinders and ashes raining down upon the roofs of the cars. Another big fire was reported in the vicinity of the Bear Meadows while still another raged in the Barrens back of State College. For Belgian Relief. The Belgian relief committee of Pennsylvania has promised in the name of the State to feed the starving children of the Province of Antwerp for six months.

There are 185,- 000 children in the Province of Ant- werp, and Mr. Hoover, who has done so much for the Belgian relief consid- ers this supplement meal vital for the health of these children.

THOMAS MITCHELL, Secy. the court house last Saturday even- | man of the committee to organize the ' ——Fifty or more High school su- perintendents and principals attend- ed the annual conference held at State College on Friday and Saturday of last week, among the number being several from Pittsburgh. The ses- sions were made very interesting ow- ing to the timely topics discussed. On Saturday afternoon the visitors were guests of the College at the interscho- lastic track and field meet on Beaver field. At the W. C. T. U. “Thimble Bee” held at Mrs. Carson’s last Wed- nesday fifty comfort bags were com- | pleted for the-new members of Troop the others were given last summer. : Next Wednesday. afternoon at 2:30 the women will meet at Mrs. E. J. Ward’s, on Curtin street, and continue making comfort bags for the soldiers ; and sailors. All women are cordially invited to attend these social “Thim- ' ble Bees.” i ——Rev. Ralph H.

The Hearst-Pathe news film ; tomorrow night will be worth seeing. The Pennsylvania Fire Brick company had a flag raising at their plant at Beéch Creek on Sunday after- ' noon which was attended by over one | thousand people. One of the interest-! ling features of the occasion was the | raising of the flag to the top of a thir- ty foot pole by Uriah Kitchen, Beech { Creek’s ninety-three year old citizen {-and who is a veteran of the Mexican | and Civil wars. Addresses were made 'by Revs. Alexander D. Bateman and | Walter L. Dudley while music was : furnished by the Howard band. { ——C. A. Wilson, the Allegheny | county convict who escaped from the | new penitentiary three weeks ago has not as yet been apprehended by the | prison authorities. Immediately after i his escape guards followed what they | believed was his trail to Mt. Union ‘ where all inquiries in regard to ‘the . man failed to bring to light any fur- { ther trace of him. On Saturday resi- | dents of Yarnell and vicinity were more or less excited over the fact that . a strange man had been seen in that “section for several days and the same day, it was claimed, had been recog- . nized by a ‘man who saw his picture ion a poster in the postoffice. The au- ‘ thorities were notified but failed to find a man that proved to be the es- caped prisoner. | Dr. H. F. Whiting on Tuesday i resigned his position as principal of i the Bellefonte High school to accept , the appointment of superintendent of ' state highways in Beaver county. He ieft Bellefonte on Wednesday to take , up the work of his new position. Dr. ‘ Whiting has been connected with the i Bellefonte High school the past five ‘ years and has proven a very satisfac- tory instructor. He and his family { have also made many friends in Belle- | fonte who will regret their departure from the town, but Dr. Whiting’s de- cision to give up teaching for some- thing more lucrative is one more illus- ; tration of the fact that the education- al field is not such an attractive one, owing to the remuneration being less than the same men can get in most any other lines of business. ——Another Bellefonte boy who is fast forging to the front in his chos- en calling is A. Trood Bidwell, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Bidwell, of south Allegheny street. When a young man he secured an appointment to the U. S. naval academy at Annapolis and graduated with high standing. Dur- ing the past year he has been attach- ed to the United States cruiser Bir- mingham, of the Atlantic fleet. Re- cently he received notice of his pro- motion to the office of senior lieuten- ant to date from August, 1916, and now is in line for a speedy promotion to the office of lieutenant commander. In fact, if the United States navy takes any very active participation in the war he stands a good chance of other promotions before another year is over. ——A handsome loving cup on an ebony pedestal is now on exhibition in the windows of Montgomery & Co’s store. It is the property of the Balle- fonte Academy and was won by the Academy athletes at the interscholas- tic track and field meet at State Col- lege last Saturday. The Academy did not have a full team in attendance but did have three athletes who are pretty fast sprinters. In fact they took one first event and enough sec- onds to score seven points. The State Freshmen ran up a score of 76 points, but as they are not eligible as prize winners the cup went to the next highest and the Academy was it. When the Academy boys left the Col- lege on Saturday evening it was with no thought of having won a trophy, consequently when the loving cup was sent down on Monday it was a com- plete surprise to all.
