motion pictures shown in central
Pennsylvania you will have to go to
the Scenic to see them. The very

proof that the public appreciates his
efforts in this respect.
There was a well-defined frost
last Saturday morning as the climax
of last week’s cold weather but so far
as can be learned it did no damage to
Centre county crops and gardens. In-
asmuch as the weather since has been

all danger of frost is past and that
the crops which have been benefitted
considerably by the rain of the carly
part of the week will grow to return
a bountiful yield.

HONORED THE SOLDIER DEAD.
A Large Crowd Attended Wednes-
day’s Memorial Services.
Wednesday dawned bright and clear
with the first bit of sunshine we had
had in several days and it proved
a beautiful day in which to pay due
honor to the soldiers of past wars
who did their bit to make this coun-
try what it is today. And one result
the largest crowds in Bellefonte that
has attended these services in a num-
ber of years.
The parade formed in the Diamond
at 1:30 o’clock and moved promptly
at two o’clock. It was made up as
follows: Our Boys band of Miles-
burg, public school children, over five
hundred in number headed by a half
dozen young ladies of the High
school bearing the different flags of
our allies. Bringing up the rear was
the boys’ company of High school
students. Then came Troop L, mount-
ed, as an escort to the old soldiers
who are growing fewer
every year; the Bellefonte band,
Spanish-American war veterans, P. O.
rand a number of automobiles.
The usual services were held at the
cemetery and returning the crowd as-
sembled in the court house where a
very patriotic and thrilling memorial
address was delivered by Dr. E. H.
Yocum. From four to six o’clock the
old veterans were the guests of the
Bellefonte Lodge of Elks at their
home on High street.
Following the ceremony at the
cemetery the Bellefonte band, Span-
ish-American war veterans and Troop
L marched to the Bellefonte hospital
and serenaded Lieut. E. R. Taylor,
who is confined there with a broken
leg.

On Monday Brigadier General J.
Franklin Bell, commander of the De-
partment of the East, named 316
Pennsylvania National Guardsmen to
go into training at Fort Niagara and
Madison barracks for commissions in
the officers reserve corps. The First
Pennsylvania cavalry, which is made
up of twelve regular troops and the
Boal gun troop, was entitled to twer-
ty-one men for appointment but only
nineteen were selected, and out of
that number five were appointed from
Troop L and two from the Boal gun
troop. The men selected from Troop
L are Sergts. J. Homer Decker and
Arthur Deering, supply Sergt. Paul
L. Wetzel and Corps. James Davis
and Leslie D. Gordon. Those from
the Boal gun troop are Sergts. John
0. Lawrence and David Garver.
The selections were made by Gen.
Bell on the following six points of
merit: Soldierly attainments, clean
records, courage, reliability, stead-
fastness and intelligence and the fact
un five men from Troop L won the
raccoveted appointments speaks
Ww=7l for themselves and their military
organization. They were all ordered
to report for duty yesterday and their
going will leave Troop L short hand-
ed in non-commissioned officers, es-
pecially counting the married men
who will be mustered out soon.

——S. A. McQuistion very quietly
celebrated his eighty-seventh birth-
day anniversary on Tuesday. At that
age men are generally termed vener-
able but in his case it would almost
be a misnomer, because Mr. McQuis-
tion still looks after his carriage re-
pair business and is now planning to
take a trip to his old home town of
Butler some time next month.

The Senate on Tuesaay defeat-
ed the House bill providing that the
‘be either death or life imprisonment,
i at the discretion of the jury or by the
court. The bill received twenty-
| three votes, three less than the num-
ber required to pass it. Fifteen votes
were against it.
Over four hundred letters were
received by “McClure’s Magazine” in
reply to Cleveland Moffett’s article,
“How to Have Better Chldren.” The
‘ ninth prize, of five dollars was award-
'ed Miss Julia Gray, State College,
with a note from Charles Hanson
Towne, contest editor, “Let me con-
gratulate you on your Splendid State-
ment.” Part of this article was re-
printed in the “Watchman,” April 27.
Rev. John W. Bright, of Tope-
ka, Kan., who has been visiting rela-
tives in Milton, is now on his way to
Centre county and while here expects
to fill lecture engagements at Mill-
heim, Rebersburg, Spring Mills, Cen-
tre Hall and State College, intending
to leave here in time to attend the
General Synod of the Evangelical
Lutheran church, which will convene
in Chicago on June 20th.
——Thomas Menchio, of Philips-
burg, is an inmate of the Centre coun-
ty jail and the charge that will be
made against him depends upon the
death or recovery of Walter Young,
who is now in the Cottage State hos-
pital, Philipsburg, suffering with a
dangerous cut in the neck received at
the hands of Menchio. The stabbing
affray was the result of a general
family quarrel last Thursday even-
ing.
Conforming with the estab-
lished rule of the other business men
of Bellefonte the various grocery
stores will adept the six o’clock clos-
ing rule on Monday, June 4th, Wed-
nesdays and Saturdays excepted.
They will do this in order to give
their employees the evenings to de-
vote to their homes and their gar-
dens, as well as deserved recreation.
Bellefonte housewives should make a
note cf this and don’t put off buying
until evening.
Dr. George Tibbens, of Beech
Creek, has tendered his services as a
surgeon in the army. On Wednesday
he was in the barber shop of his home
town when a man named Greninger,
who is said to be a strong German
sympathizer, entered the shop and
began to rail about our government.
Immediately Dr. Tibbens jumped out
of the chair and started in to clean-
ing up the new comer. He knocked
all his teeth out, broke his arm and
would probably have injured him far
worse had not the barber pulled him
off.
As an evidence of its desire to
do the most possible under the exist-
ing conditions of war with Germany,
the faculty of the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology has recommended
for degrees those Seniors who have
entered military or naval service or
have gone into industries directly
connected with the war. In this
group is Francis E. Thomas, of Belle-
fonte, who has been recommended for
the degree of B. S., and this will be
conferred upon him at the coming
graduation exercises in June. Mr.
Thomas has already taken the exam-
inations for the coast artillery corps
but as yet has received no orders.

start on his new job next Monday. He
will be assigned to the Altoona branch
and his territory will extend from Al-
toona to Greensburg and all side trips.
It will take a month to cover the ter-
ritory but his trips are so arranged
that he will be able to spend every
Sunday at home. His first three
weeks will be spent in the Altoona
branch in order to familiarize him-
self with the various brands of tobac-
co, cigars, etc., handled by the com-
pany and the prices of same.

bersburg.

' was perpetuated in marble at Rebers-
burg on Wednesday when a beautiful
monument was dedicated in the Re-
bersburg cemetery to the memory of
George Christian Spangler, the first

i ple was entertained at dinner at the

ler and the dedication took place in
the cemetery promptly at two o’clock
in the presence of one hundred and
| fifty people. The services began with
prayer by Rev. Womeldorf which was
| followed with an address by Rev. Ira
E. Spangler, of Carlisle, who spoke
| of the characteristics of the earlier
' generations. Dr. A. M. Spangler, of
Yeagertown, made a very interesting
address on “What’s in a Name?” The
| closing talk was made by Col. J. L.
| Spangler. Music for the occasion was
! furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Norman
i R. Wright, Mrs. J. E. Harvey and
| Hard P. Harris, while a delightful
| feature of the occasion was the reci-
! tation by Mrs. Scott Walters, of Mif-
' flinburg.

Minnemyer, Mabel Poorman and Eth-
el Bottorf also competed, making the

ner.
