Meyer, Va., within a week or so, as that has been designated for training purposes for officers designed for the home whole- { ough, Spring, Snow Shoe and Rush { townships. Three townships return- ed a registration exactly with the list ! as published in the “Watchman” last | week. Four townships were a few be- low the list while the others showed what might be termed a normal in- crease from the influx of labor and young men attaining the age of twenty-one after the last military en- rollment was made. Just 27 colored men registered in the whole county. So far as the registration was con- cerned there was no holding back on the part of anybody. In fact the larger part of the registration in most of the districts was made in the morning and at nine o’clock in the evening there was no crowd in wait- ing. The only place in the county where anything occurred was at Juli- misunderstanding than anything else and was soon straightened out with- out any trouble resulting. At three places in the county the registrars ran out of cards in the afternoon, but sheriff Yarnell hurried- ly supplied them with more and the work proceeded smoothly. The reg- istrars were prompt in making their returns on Wednesday morning but it was an all day’s job for the sheriff and a number of assistants to go over the cards and check them up to be sure that everything was right and in in | order. Naturally there is considerable cu- riosity as to what will be done with Tuesday’s registration cards. Just of | now the sheriff and a large force of volunteer assistants are hard at work making exact duplicates of every card. When this is done the originals will be filed away in the vault in the Commissioner’s office and the dupli- cates will be forwarded to Washing- ton where they will all be properly tabulated and it will be from them that the government will make up its list of Centre county residents liable to conscription. Before any draft is made, however, an exemption board will be appointed and if any man is drafted who can show good reasons why he should be exempt, the board will act upon the same. A patriotic incident happened in the West ward on Tuesday when a weli- dressed, neat looking young Italian presented himself for registry. The first question he was asked was his age and when he replied twenty years, the board told him he was too young. But this didn’t suit his pur- pose, as he vehemently declared that he wanted to register so he could “go fight for country.” In fact he got very much excited and finally the board told him to go and enlist if he wanted to fight. The young man im- mediately asked where, and on being told the armory he started for there forthwith. As information for “Watchman” readers we publish below a compara- tive table of the number of names in each district as published in this pa- per last week and the total registra- tion. The former will be found in the first column and the latter inthe last. Compare them and you will be able to see just how your own district showed up on registration: plies until the end of the war.” Ba, Rog Bellefonte, NW ............. 114 116 ——On Monday afternoon Matthew | Bellefonte, 8 W .............. 110 114 Wagner was arrested by chief of po- | Bellefonte, W W ............. 34 39 lice Harry Dukeman for fishing from Centre Hall .................. 31 32 the pavement along Spring creek, not- Howard ...................... 38 44 withstanding the fact that he knew it Milesburg EL Na 2 39 was against the decree to do so.

In fact the very uncertainty of the steam heating plant being operated next winter will likely compel many others to do like- wise. > Registration day is over and the returns show as much patriotism in Centre county as in former years, and the attendance at the Scenic demonstrates that there are just as many people interested in good mo- tion pictures today as there were four or five years ago. Of course the rea- son for this interest is because man- ager T. Clayton Brown exhibits only the best pictures obtainable.

Charles Leo Campbell, of Har- | risburg, a brakeman on the Pennsyl- ! vania railroad, got off his train at Jersey Shore on Monday night to ad- just the air brakes and in attempting to get on the train after his work was done fell and got his left leg caught under the train and badly mangled. He was found sometime later by an operator and sent to the Williamsport hospital where the crushed leg was amputated below the knee. Campbell has on various occasions worked as a brakeman on the Lewisburg & Tyrone railroad and taken his meals at a Bellefonte boarding house, hence is well known by a number of people here. Bellefonte people will be inter- ested in learning that John J. Bay- ard, a former Bellefonte boy, is now connected with the Hearst Syndicate as manager of the Oakland, Califor- nia, branch of the Oakland “Examin- er,” which has a circulation of about fifty-two thousand. Mr. Bayard has been there about a year and says that things are booming in that city. Oak- lana has five very large shipbuilding plants and each of them has some government contracts. He also says the crops in California were never better. In order that he may again get in touch with the people and Hap- penings of his home town Mr. Bayard ordered the “Watchman” sent to him regularly. Don’t deride the government garden seeds that your Congressman is liberal enough to distribute free. The “Watchman” was the medium through which a number of the seeds were distributed this spring and among those who got a package was John I. Thompson 2nd, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Beal Thompsen, of Alto. Wednesday morning he sent to this office two bunches of as fine rad- ishes as any person would -want to eat, and they were vegetables grown by himself from the government seed received from this office. It is need- less to say that we appreciated the radishes and hope that John will have as good success this summer with every seed he plants. The Centre County Association of Philadelphia has sent out an- nouncements of its annual picnic to be held on the edge of Belmont Mansion plateau, Fairmount park, Philadel- phia, on Saturday, June 16th, 1917. Old and 7oung Centre countians, their families, friends and visitors are in- vited. The gathering will be *the genuine, old-fashioned basket kind, each family bringing their own sand- wiches, hard-boiled eggs, apple pies, etc.” A surprise package will be giv- en each man, woman and child pres- ent, if they notify the secretary, Dr. John Bezle, of 41 south 15th street, Philadelphia, in advance. The hour set for tke luncheon, speeches and election of officers is 4:30 p. m. — The Pennsylvania railroad company has sent out advance an- nouncements that in order to meet the enormous demand of the freight traffic in the moving of food, coal, government materials and troops it will be necessary in the near future to completely rearrange the passen- ger traffic. This will be done by the consolidation nf passenger trains and doing away with others that are at present the least patronized. The re- arrangement will not only affect the main lines but all branches. The plan has not yet been worked out but as socn as it is an announcement of the changes will be made. While 1t would be premature to even predict what changes will be made on the Bald Ea- gle valley it is only just to conclude that it will be affected as well as oth- er branch roads.
