Miller limestone quarries on Tuesday of last week John Mignot had his right foot badly squeezed when one of the wheels of a dinkey car passed over it. Mr. Mignot was in the act of kicking a switch open when his foot slipped and got on the rail underneath the car. Fortunately the car was empty and no bones were broken, but he has been off duty since. Jerome G. Harper on Monday went to work as a traveling salesman for the R. C. Williams company, large wholesale grocers, of New York city, covering the same territory in the central part of the State formerly. covered by the late Ldward R. McEn- tire, of Williamsport. The territory is a large one and will take him a month to cover, but he starts in with a good line of established customers which is a big asset. — Clayton Etters, of Oak Hall, driving a Ford delivery truck, and Dr. W. S. Glenn Jr., of State College, in his Reo car, met in a collision at the junction of the roads in Lemont on June 28th. Mr. Etters was on his way home from State College and the doctor was returning from a trip up the Branch road. Both cars were somewhat damaged but as the colli- sion didn’t seem to be either man’s particular fault they decided to call it quits and each man pay for his own repairs. On another page you will find an advertisement of Dr. M. Salm; he is by no means a stranger in this county. He used to make monthly visits here for about twelve years, and gave universal satisfaction dur- ing that time on account of his many cures. His specialty is diseases of the eye, ear, throat, catarrh and all chronic diseases. We do not think you will go amiss in consulting him, for we know him to be trustworthy and skillful. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Forcey and daughter Esther, of Jersey Shore, and Mr. Forcey’s mother, Mrs. G. C. For- cey, were the victims of an automobile accident last Friday night when their car overturned on the state road a short distance east of Bellefonte breaking the elder Mrs. Forcey’s arm and badly bruised the other mem- bers of the party. The accident hap- pened when Mr. Forcey turned out to allow another car to pass and one of his tires blew out ditching and over- turning the car. Fortunately the top saved it from going clear over. — Benton D. Tate was the victim of an automobile accident on Monday morning of last week in which he suf- fered a broken collar bone and left shoulder blade, some minor cuts and bruises. He was driving up Bald Ea- gle valley in the Bell telephone Ford truck ana this side of Unionville one of his front tires blew out and came off throwing it over on its side, Mr. Tate being caught under the top. He was picked up and brought to the Bellefonte hospital where he was un- der treatment until Tuesday when he “had gotten along so well that he was allowed to go home. The United Evangelical church reunion will be held at Hecla Park on Thursday, July 19th. All churches and Sunday schools of this denomina- tion are a part of the reunion associ- ation and as many of them as possi- ble should attend this gathering. Everybody is welcome to attend, as the reunion offers an excellent oppor- tunity of renewing general acquain- tances among people who have not met for years. Trains will leave Bellefonte for the park at 7 and 9 o'clock a. m. and return at 7 p. m. Persons from Lock Haven and Mill Hall can go to the park on regular train in the morning and return home on regular train in the evening.

Sherift George H. Yarnell and dep- uty sheriff Harrison Kline on Satur- day completed their work of serial numbering the list of men between the ages of 21 and 31 inclusive who registered on June 5th under the se- lective conscription act. The list was numbered consecutively from one up and the total number was 3170. A list of the names has been forwarded to Harrisburg and one to ‘Washington. Another list has been posted at the ' commissioner’s office and another locked away as the official record in the sheriff’s vault. The sheriff has requested the | “Watchman” to state that any man desiring his serial number should | send him a self-addressed postal card and the same will be forwarded to him at once. In the last issue of the “Watch- i man” the men who will serve on the | exemption board for Centre county were given as Sheriff Yarnell, Coun- | ty Commissioner D. A. Grove and Dr. C. E. McGirk, of Philipsburg. Since that time Dr. McGirk’s name has been withdrawn owing to the fact that it would be inconvenient for him to attend the sittings of the board. On Wednesday Governor Brumbaugh | recommended the appointment of Dy. | M. J. Locke in the place of Dr. Mec- | Girk, but up to yesterday noon he had yeceived no official notification of his | appointment and it is rot known whether he will be able to serve or i not. The work of the exemption board | will be very exacting, according to the | voluminous instructions received by Sheriff Yarnell on Tuesday. Every | man drawn who desires to claim ex- - emption on any grounds whatsoever, | will have to do so by affidavit, attest- | ed by witnesses, and his reason will have to be a very convincing one in order to sceure exenipt If a man | is not satisfied with the decision of the | local exemption board he has the right | of appeal to the district board.

The flag was raised on a pole erect- ed on the school house commons and the ceremony took place at 3:30 o’clock. Daniel Boyer presided and the Bellefonte band furnished the mu- sic. Following prayer by Rev. T. Hugh MacLeod, of Bellefonte, Bur- | gess Edmund Blanchard “was intro- i duced and made a very patriotic ad- dress. Following him Andrew Run- kle, of Bellefonte, was called to the front and recited the poem, “Salute the Flag.” The next speaker was Col. H. S. manner, not only made an inspiring address but complimented the young men of Yarnell and vicinity on their display of patriotism. The five year oid daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Powell, of Sandy Ridge, sang very sweetly the “Song of the Flag.” A collection was then taken up for the Red Cross and the final speaker was Rev. Prentiss, of Milesburg. Before collection for the Red Cross amount- ed to $13.65, and with what the young men had already collected made a to- tal of $25.00. The money will be held for a few days until they shall decide as to the organization of a Red Cross Auxiliary, and if they do not do so it will be turned over to Charles M. McCurdy, treasurer of the Bellefonte Chapter. Entertained the Doctors. Last Thursday evening the nurses at the Bellefonte hospital entertained at dinner the hospital staff of physi- cians in honor ¢f the two members who are ready and may soon be called for service at the front. The dining room was prettily bank- od with green and decorated with flags and the national colors. Large bouquets of red roses added much to the beauty of the room, and with the red glow from lights and candles made a very pretty scene. The table decorations were in keeping with the occasion and all present enjoyed the delicious meal to the fullest extent. The vocal selections rendered by Miss Widan were very enjoyable, as was also an entertaining recitation by Miss Fuller. Short addresses were given by sev- eral of those present and camp stories were exchanged by the doctors. A very pleasant evening was spent by all and the success of the affair was an honor to the efforts of the nurses and a pleasing tribute to the depart- ing surgeons. — Dr. David Dale has been ap- pointed to succeed Dr. R.

Mr. and Mrs. Ammon A. Mil- ler, of Lock Haven, took a fishing jaunt to Hayes run, above Orviston, last Friday, and coming across a nice pool which promised some good sport Mr. Miller comfortably installed his wife therepy and proceeded further up the stream to try his own luck. He had gone but a short distance when his wife gave one terrifying scream. Hastening back he found her in a state of collapse on the bank of the strearn and looking around to discov- er the cause of his wife's agitation discovered a large black bear not over twenty-five feet away calmly refresh- ing itself with a drink from the cool waters of Hayes run. Mr Miller had no trouble frightening the bear away but it is hardly likely that Mrs. Miller fished alone the balance of the day. Organized Red Cross Auxiliary. At a largely attended meeting on Tuesday night of last week the people of Centre Hall organized 2 Red Cross Auxiliary with a membership of fif- ty-two. Rev. Josiah Still presided at the meeting and addresses were made by Revs. Kurtz and Jones, of Centre Hall; Mrs. J. Thomas Mitchell and Mrs. Robert Mills Beach, of Belle- fonte. In perfecting the organization Mrs. H. F. Bitner was elected chair- man; Mrs. J. F. Alexander vice chair- man; Miss Freda Bailey secretary, and Miss Mary Delinda Potter treas- urer.

Jump, Capt. S. Leon Gans and Lieut. John D. Mec- Lean arrived in Bellefonte Sunday night and remained here until Wed- nesday. On Monday afternoon there was a meeting of the Centre County Medical society and the visiting phy- sicians explained the urgent need of as many physicians as possible enlist- ing a3 medical reserve officers. After they had made the proposition as plain as possible from every standpoint W. U. Irwin, of Unionville, and W. S. Glenn Jr., of State College, enlisted for service. Drs. David Dale and S. M. Huff being already in the service makes four Centre county physicians who will likely see duty in France. The above enlisting crew has cov- ered most of the State and while in Bellefonte Major Jump told a “Watchman” reporter that they had encountered considerable apathy among the physicians in many places, while in others they were quick to re- spond. When they started out they figured on securing on an average of twenty per cent. of the physicians in every locality and had been success- ful in reaching that mark in many places, while in a few they ran as high as forty per cent.
