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:

Determined not to be caught
in the same predicament that property
owners were last winter Dr. J. M.
| Brockerhoff is arranging to install a
| steam heating plant in the Brocker-
hoff house and also put a boiler in his
own residence on the corner of Bish-
op and Spring streets. 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. Don’t
miss any of them.

Who will volunteer to purchase
the yarn for sweaters for the mem-
bers of Troop I.? The Daughters of
the American Revolution are asking
for money and knitters. 103 sweaters
are necessary to equip the company,
at a cost of $1.00 per sweater. A
special plea is made to those men who
are exempt from service by reason of
age or disability. Contributions will
be gladly received by Mrs. John Cur-
tin. Please act prombtly.
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.

School Board Elected Teachers.
At a regular meeting of the Belle-

ing the teachers for the ensuing year
were elected as follows:
Eugene A. Weik to be principal of
the High school to succeed Dr. H. F.
Whiting, resigned. »
