THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY
— George M. Gamble has invest-
ed in a two ton Republic truck to en-
able him to handle his large flour and
feed business more expeditiously.
——A little daughter was born the
early part of July to Mr. and Mrs. J.
A. Saxe, of Scranton. Mrs. Saxe was
well known here as Miss Jennie Har-
per.
——A letter received from Fort
Smith, Arkansas, announces the mar-
riage of Miss Grace McBride and Mr.
Taylor, one of the leading attorneys
of Seranton. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are
now traveling through the south west,
expecting to be at home in Scranton
after July 20th.
— State Highway Commissioner
Black will open bids on August 14th
for the rebuilding of south Water
street in this place. The specifica-
tions call for a roadway of vitrified
brick, 2454 feet long and 16 feet
wide. This indicates that the road
may vet be built this summer.
A flag raising will take place
at the United Brethren church on
Sunday afternoon at three o’clock.
While the entire program has not
been definitely arranged pastor Mac-
Leod has given assurance that patri-
otic speakers will be present and all
the exercises in keeping with the sol-
emn occasion. The public is invited.
— When you come to Bellefonte
in the evening for a little diversion
try the Scenic. You will get as much
if not more for your money there than
anywhere else in town. The pictures
manager T. Clayton Brown is now
presenting are all good. They are the
best attractions he can secure. The
people of Bellefonte know this and ap-
preciate it to the limit.
——David Powley, an aged and well
known Centre countian who now
makes his home with his son George,
near Graysville, went to Altoona last
Saturday to visit his brother, Dr. J.
E. Powley. Shortly after his arrival
he was stricken with appendicitis and
was at once taken to the Mercy hos-
pital and operated upon. Latest word
is that he is getting along splendidly.
——Owing to the constant needs
of the public, Miss Jennie Morgan will
keep her shop on Bishop street open
every evening of the week, announc-
ing also that manicuring and sham-
pooing will be done by appointment.
Miss Morgan has greatly enlarged her
stock of exclusive fancy articles and
is prepared to supply you with ma-
terials for all the present day fancy
work. :
——Inasmuch as there was no busi-
ness of importance to transact the
borough dads all fought shy of the
public building on Monday evening
with the result that there was no.reg-
ular meeting of borough council. The
only persons specially interested were
the various employees of the borough
and their wages were paid as usual
on the approval by the chairmen of
the various committees.
——Raspberries are now in market
and they are large and luscious. The
crop is said to be an unusually large
one and from the looks of the bushes
at the present time the blackberry
crop will be one of the largest ever
grown in this section. The bushes are
all loaded with the fruit and the ber-
ries are already almost full grown
and large as to globules. The only
question will be the picking and mar-
keting of the same.
——Up to yesterday afternoon
fiothing definite had been done regard-
ing the extension of the Titan Metal
eompany plant. The board of direc-
tors had a meeting on Tuesday even-
ing and the proposition or taking ad-
ditional ground where the plant is
now located and the tender of the
glass works meadow site was consid-
ered but no definite conclusion was
reached. Another meeting of the
board will be held next Tuesday even-
ing when it is possible some decisive
action will be taken.
——Milton R. Johnson, in his big
motor truck took a party of eight or
ten Bellefonte gentlemen over to Wal-
ter Gherritys in the Seven mountains
on Sunday to spend the day. Having
been notified that the men were com-
ing Walter had a big chicken dinner
for them, with new - peas out of his
own garden, sweet potatoes and
everything that went to make up a
big meal. For supper he gave them
some of his -home-cured ham and
chicken-laid eggs. The party return-
ed home between nine and ten o’clock,
each man well satisfied with the little
outing.
——1It is said that the Pennsylva-
nia railroad company is viewing with
more or less alarm the establishment
of that silica brick plant at Port Ma-
tilda. In the entire histery of Bald
Eagle valley in the past forty years
there has never been a manufacturing
plant of any kind save small sawmills
between Tyrone and Milesburg and
the result has been that it is a fruitful
field for the railroad company from
which to draw men for its employ. In
fact there is probably not another lit-
tle valley in the State of Pennsylva-
nia that is more largely represented
in that vast army of ‘railroad em-
ployees than Bald Bagle valley, and
now the fear is that with the estab-
lishment of the new brick plant at
Port Matilda the young men will seek
employment there in lieu of going to
the railroad.
MUSTERING IN OF TROOP L.
Starts Initial Training With a Full
Complement of 104 Men.
With only a very few rejections
Troop L of this place was officially
mustered in for service in the war
with Germany on Tuesday afternoon
and has started initial training at the
armory on the corner of Lamb and
Spring streets.
In compliance with the call of the
War Department and the order of the
Adjutant General of Pennsylvania
Capt. H. Laird Curtin issued an order
for the Troop to assemble at the ar-
mory at ten o’clock on Sunday morn-
ing. Practically every man was pres-
ent when the roll was called. After
an hour spent at the armory the men
were given the balance of the day to
spend as they saw fit but were order-
ed to report at the armory at nine
o’clock.on Monday morning for phys-
ical examination. The examining sur-
geon was Lieut. Kennedy, of the U. S.
medical reserve corps, while the offi-
cer in charge was Lieut. Harley Bul-
lock, of the 50th U. S. infantry, but
who received notice while here of his
promotion to the rank of captain.
These men worked all day Monday,
late Monday night and Tuesday morn-'
ing giving the men a rigid examina-
tion and it was not until Tuesday
afternoon that the Troop was finally
mustered in.
The Troop was mustered in with
a full complement of 104 men and one
reserve, and they are as sturdy and
good looking lot of troopers as can be
found anywhere, in fact the very flow-
er of the voung manhood of Belle-
fonte and Centre county. No man at
this time can tell with any degree of
certainty what these ycung men will
be called upon to face but the
“Watchman” has confidence enough in
every one of them to know that they
will play their part and play it fair—
every inch the soldier of the United
States.
Just when they will be ordered from
Bellefonte to one of the big training
cantonments is unknown at this time
but when they go it will be with the
well wishes of every man, woman and
child left behind and every one of
them will be prayerfully remembered
by their home people in the hope that
all may return as complete a unit as
they go away, each man not only con-
scious of having served his country
faithfully and well, but benefitted by
his experience and service. The com-
plete roster of the troop as mustered
in is as follows:

BOAL TROOP MUSTERED IN.

The officer in charge was Lieut. Mor- |
gan, of the U. S. army. The Troop !
had 102 men on the list while its war
strength is given as 91 men and 4 of-

Boal was last week transferred to the
staff of Major General Charles M.'

and until his successor is appointed |
First Lieut. Wilbur F. Leitzel will:
have charge of the Troop. Owing to |
the Troop not being mustered in until |

this issue.
esi Al einen ree
Red Cross Work.
The work room of the Red Cross
Chapter in Petrikin hall is open every
Tuesday afternoon from 2 until 4
o’clock and Friday mornings from 9
until 11. It is under the supervision
of Miss Mary Miles Blanchard, with
Mrs. Blanche Schloss in charge of the
gauze department and Mrs. Mollie
Valentine in charge of the muslin de-
partment.
Up until the present time there has
been considerable difficulty in procur-
ing sufficient material to keep all the
volunteer workers employed during
the above hours, but a sufficient quan-
tity is now on hand to enable Red
Cross members to assist in filling the
first box of surgical dressings which
will be sent to headquarters in the
near future. An urgent request is
made of all members to join in accom-
plishing this object.
Mrs. Victor LeCoq, of Harrisburg,
a graduate instructor of Red Cross
surgical dressings, conducted a series
of lessons in Bellefonte last week.
The class includes Miss Blanchard,
Mrs. Schloss, Mrs. Valentine, Mrs.
John M. Shugert, Mrs. Robert M.
Beach, Mrs. Dorsey Hunter, Mrs. J.
Thomas Mitchell, Mrs. E. P. Irvin,
Mrs. J. L. Montgomery and Miss
Daise Keichline, of Bellefonte; Mrs.
Jodon, of Pleasant Gap, and Miss
Baldridge, of Milesburg. Mrs. LeCoq
will return at an early date to give
the class its official examination. The
Red Cross regular uniform, consist-
ing of a white cap and apron, is worn
by members in the work room.
The Bellefonte Chapter and auxilia-
ries, not counting the Chapters at
State College and Philipsburg, now
total about two thousand members
and more are being added daily.
Festival for Benefit of Troop L.
The men of Troop L are arranging
to hold a monster festival and dance
tomorrow (Saturday) evening begin-
ning at 7 o’clock. The dance will be
held in the armory, and weather per-
mitting the festival will be held on the
school house grounds just opposite the
armory.
The boys have secured the services
of Our Boys band of Milesburg to
furnish music for the occasion. Other
attractive features will be a guard
mount, fancy riding, burros for the
children to ride, camp stunts, ete.
They will have on sale ice cream and
cake, soft drinks, eggs, butter and
chickens.
When Troop L went to Mt. Gretna
to train for Mexico last summer they
had no fund with which to purchase a
two day’s supply of provisions and the
result was some of them became very
hungry before their camp commissary
was put in good working order. The
object of holding the festival tomor-
row night is to secure a fund with
which to purchase an ample supply of
provisions to take along when they
are again ordered from Bellefonte to
their regular training camp. And be-
cause of this fact the boys will only
too gladly receive contributions of
cake and ice cream, or anything else
that will help out at their festival.
More Money Needed for Troop L
Truck.
The fund for the Troop L truck now
amounts to just $417 but it will re-
quire about one hundred dollars more
to pay for the same. Down in Lock
Haven one man purchased a truck for
Troop H and so far the largest indi-
vidual contribution for the Troop L
truck has been $10.00. The truck has
been ordered on the assumption that
the patriotic people of Centre county
will make up the balance needed soon.
If two hundred people give but fifty
cents each the amount will be suffi-
cient. Surely this sum can be raised.
If you desire to help purchase the
truck send your contribution, how-
ever large or small, to H. C. Valen-
tine, treasurer of the fund, and it will
be gladly received.
Since the above was put in type
treasurer Harry C. Valentine has re-
ceived contributions from the follow-
ing: A. B. Cromer, Toronto, Can.,
$5.00; Mrs. C. S. Hazel, Pleasant Gap,
$1.00; Logan Fire company, $10.00,
and the Bellefonte Lodge B. P. O. E,,
$50.00, making a grand total of $483.-
00, which is much nearer the goal than
formerly but still leaves a certain
amount to be contributed in order to
pay for the truck.
The busiest department in
Bellefonte is the Cut Price Grocery
department of Cohen & Co. 28-1t

ing a nail with the result that the lat-
ter punctured her shee and ran into

ful but so far there are no indications
of any very serious results. Mr. Gil-
len is also going around with his left
wrist swathed in bandages, the re- |
sult of a severe sprain.

Government Hunting Sites for Hos-
pitals and Internment Camps.
When the delegation of Philadel-
phia physicians were in Bellefonte last
week recruiting physicians for the
medical reserve board for service in
the army the Bellefonte hospital staff
made a tender of the Bellefonte hos-
pital for government use, if the occa-
sion ever comes that it is needed.
Since then it has been learned that
the government has asked for a sur-
vey of Centre county with regard to
available sites for government hos-
pitals and internment camps. Of
course, such sites must be healthily
located, with a never failing supply of
pure water, easy of drainage and ac-
cessible to some railroad. While this
is merely a stereotyped inquiry that
has been sent to hundreds of localities
throughout the United States, it
shows that the government means to
be fully prepared for every emergen-
cy and if ever the time comes when
they are needed will have every facil-
ity for taking care of her wounded
soldiers as well as keeping in durance
any enemy prisoners of this country.
In the above connection a number
of sites might be found in Centre
county available either for a hospital
or internment camp, and in due time
report of same will probably be made
to the proper government authorities.
