Watch and Money Stolen. Mr. F. W. Crider, of this place, was the victim of an early morning rob- bery one night last week while a guest’ at Galen Hall, Atlantic City, and the light fingered gentleman who did the job did it so completely that he didn’t leave a single penny in the pockets of the well known Bellefonter’s clothes. Mr. and Mrs. Crider had been At- lantic City visitors for several weeks. The night of the robbery Mr. Crider looked at his watch to see the time at two o’clock in the morning. In the morning when he was ready to get up he discovered that his clothes—vest and trousers—which he had hanging near the head of the bed, were not there. Getting out of bed he discov- ered them lying on the floor at the foot of the bed and piled neatly along- side of his clothes were his pocket- book, papers and other articles he had in his pockets except his money and watch, that was all gone, every last cent of it. The money included $370 in bills and some change, probably about $375 in all. His gold watch was gone with the chain and a Masonic charm valued at £55, so that his total loss was beiween five and six hundred dollars. Mrs. Crider’s trunk was in the same room and though it was standing open the burglar made no attempt to ran- sack it, as not a thing in it was dis- turbed, although Mrs. Crider’s pock- otbook containing between twelve and fifteen dollars was in the tray of the trunk. The management of Galen Hall was promptly notified of the robbery and an examination disclosed the fact that the only way the robber could have gained access to the room was by climbing a tree to the porch roof and entering through the window, Mr. and Mrs. Crider having occupied rooms on the first sleeping floor; that is if the job was not done by some cne who had taken a room in the house. Detectives were put on the case ‘m- mediately but up to the time of Mr. and Mrs. Crider’s return home they had gotten no trace of the robbers, but there is a probability that his watch and charm: may be recovered some time if the person who took it attempts to pawn it.

Owing to the increased cost of leather Jacob Ghaner, the shoe- maker of Benore, has been compelled to increase his prices for soleing and heeling men’s shoes from 80 to 90 eents; ladies shoes 60 to 70 cents and children’s 30 to 35 cents. On Sunday M. A. Landsy took his partner, W. L. Antrim, or a motor trip to Philipsburg, just to show him the beauties of the mountain scenery enroute. They went by way of Port Matilda and returned via Snow Shoe, and Mr. Antrim was enraptured with the trip. Two traffic regulation markers were placed in the Diamond on Satur- day and one at the intersection of south Water and High streets, with the simple hotice “Go to the right.” If all automobilists do as the sign says and keep within the speed limit they will not get into trouble. Having already given to chari- ty over one hundred dollars, the pro- ceeds from her fortune telling during the past year, Mrs. E. B.

Mail appointments to Belle- fonte postoffice, general delivery. Supt. J. K. Johnston, of Ty- rone, was the principal! speaker at a big flag raising at Osceola Mills on Sunday afternoon. It was a big event for that town, three bands, including the P. R. R. shop band of Tyrone, were present as well as a squad of the Third regiment N. G. P., under com- mand of Col. Kemp. If you do not know your correct weight and what you should eat to maintain it, figure it out from the ta- ble on page 2 column 3, “How to Reg- ulate Your Weight.” This is the first thing te know in scientific nutrition and that is what Mr. Herbert Hoover is trying to have us learn from his now famous motto, “Eat plenty, wise- ly, and without waste.” In anticipation of the bumper crop of vegetables now being grown on the penitentiary farms superin- tendent J. W. Herron and Frank P. Bartley will go to Pittsburgh next week where the latter will enter the big Heinz canning establishment to take a course in canning so that he will be in a position to take charge of the work when the crops are ready to handle at the penitentiary. —-The Lock Haven Express came out last Thursday enlarged to a seven col- umn, eight page daily, which allows for an increased advertising as well as reading capacity. The Express al- ways was a newsy, readable paper and if the management keeps it up to the standard set by the first few days of its increased size its patrons surely will have no kick coming because of the change in price from ten to twelve cents a week. Notwithstanding the hot weath- er the Scenic is well patronized every | evening, all of which shows that a high-class motion picture show is properly appreciated by the people of Bellefonte and vicinity. Manager T. Clayton Brown has always made it a point to get the best in metion pic- tures possible to procure, even paying high prices for the same, in order to please his patrons, and he continues to maintain this high standard of ex- cellence. Ankle Broken in Automobile Accident. Miss Margaret Noonan, daughter of Mrs. James Noonan, of the Brant house, is laid up with a broken ankle sustained in an automobile accident on Sunday afternoon. She in company with her sister Geraldine and their cousins, the Misses Ruth and Louise Seaman, of New York, had accepted an invitation from Mr. and Mrs. Wilfrid I. Miller to accompany them on a trip to Ty- rone and return. They went up the Bald Eagle Valley road and a short distance above Unionville Mr. Miller turned out to allow another car to go by and as he did so the bank at the side of the road gave way, throwing the ear down over a ten foot embank- ment. All the occupants were throw out i and fortunately clear of the car so that all escaped without a scratch cave Miss Noonan. left foot caught in one of the braces of the top of the machine, breaking her ankle. She was brought home as quickly as possible an taken to the Bellefonte hospital where the fracture was reduced, but the injury will keep her confined to the house for some days. pe Highway People After Release. Under the present ruling of the State Highway Department it is neec- essary to secuve release from all ques- tion of damages from abutting prop- erty owners along all roads taken over by the State and to be rebuilt by the tate. The release is asked simply as a matter of protection to the State and not because the Department in rebuilding a road expects to do any damage. In fact great care is always exercised against doing any damage. In this connection the Highway De- partment officials here are now asking releases of all abutting property own- ers along the old pike between Belle- fonte and Pleasant Gap. Some of these releases have been given very readily, but others have not vet sign- ed. And in failing to do so they are holding up the rebuilding of that piece of road. The “Watchman” has it on reliable authority that as soon as the releases are all given bids will be asked for the rebuilding of the road into a permanent highway, and every abutting property owner knows what that will mean to the value of his property. Floor Breaks with Weight of Heavy Woman. East Curtin street had a rather ex- citing time on Sunday afternoon when one of the flooring boards in an outside toilet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Casper broke under the unusual weight of Mrs. Leo Marks, of ‘Hollidaysburg, and her left foot went through the hole thus made badly bruising and spraining her ankle. Mrs. Marks is a sister of Mr. Cas- per and has been visiting at his place since July 2nd. She is a woman of stout build and weighs in the -neigh- borhond of three hundred pounds. When she broke through the floor on Sunday afternoon she attracted a large crowd by her frightened screams, as she no doubt feared the | whole floor was going down, but for- tunately it was only a weakened board and aside from a sprained ankle she was otherwise unhurt. Being a wom- an of unusual weight, however, the in- jury to her ankle will prove very in- convenient, for a time at least. -eoe On Tuesday of last week dep- uty sheriff Harrison Kline took his father’s Buick runabout and accompa- nied by George Keeler and Charles Brown went to Altoona where Kline enlisted as a member of the marine corps. He returned home on Thurs- day and after spending a few days here took his departure on Monday afternoon for Altoona to be sent wherever Uncle Sam needs his servic- es the most.

Going to the death chair at 7:05 he was given four contacts and pronounced dead at 7:10 by Dr. Campbell. His body being unclaimed it was buried in the penitentiary cemetery. Over six hundred people at- tended the union picnic of the United | Evangelical Sunday schools of Belle- fonte, Lock Haven and Nittany valley | at Hecla park last Thursday. The day was a delightful one and the big program of amusements kept every- body busy. Officers of the picnic as- sociation elected for the ensuing year are as follows: President, S. D. Get- tig, Bellefonte; vice president, H. E. Probst, Lock Haven; secretary, Ebon B. Bower, Bellefonte; treasurer, O. B. Bruner, Lock Haven. — Governor Brumbaugh on Sat- urday approved the Omnibus bill which provides for changes in twen- ty-five highway routes throughout the State. The routes affected in this sec- tion are Route No. 58, from Bellefonte to Mill Hall, in which a spur of elev- en miles is added from Lamar to Lo- ganton. This addition was disap- proved by both the Governor and State Highway Commissioner but was | incorporated in the bill, nevertheless. The other road affected is Route 261 Bellefonte to Huntingdon by | from way of Milroy, Bellefonte and Me- Alevy’s Fort. This was approved by both the Governor and the Highway Department because it shortens the route 5.9 miles. — Ladies’ $10.00 white kid high lace boots will be sold for $5.00 at Yeager’s on July 27 and 28. 29-1t In view of the fact that the younger men of the country will | shortly be called into military service, the management of the Pennsylvania railroad has decided to suspend tem- porarily, the regulation covering the age limit for employment. The rule heretofore in force prohibited the hir- ing of new employees, in any branch of the service, above the age of forty- five years. Under the new rule, which has been adopted to meet war conditions, persons between the ages of forty-five and seventy years may be employed during the war and for a period of six months thereafter. In- asmuch as such employment is not to | be considered permanent, it will not carry pension department. em me On Friday afternoon four mem- bers of Troop L went to Snow Shoe on a soliciting expedition for the Troop mess fund, goirg out in the Gamble car driven by Max Gamble. They had a very successful trip and naturally were feeling very well sat- isfied with what they had accomplish- ed. On the return trip home about 7:15 o’clock, just as they were start- ing down the mountain, a big black bear rolled down the bank into the road not a hundred feet in front of the car. Of course the driver stopped as quickly as possible, but the bear didn’t make any attempt to investi- gate what the squad of tropers were after but with two jumps was across the road and up the other bank and only the rattling of the bushes told of his hasty retreat. ——A terrific storm passed over portions of Blair and Huntingdon counties on Sunday afternoon, level- ing almost entire fields of grain and corn in Warriorsmark and Spruce Creek valleys. uprooted and great quantities of shale, earth and rubbish washed from the hillside fields and piled upon the state road, in some places three feet | deep. At Water Street the hard ma- cadam was torn right out of the road- way, rendering it well-nigh impassi- | ble. A party of Altoona people who spent the day at the Fairbrook Coun- | Ltry club at Pennsylvania Furnace, was stormbound and did not get home un- til late at night. The damage done to crops, fields and roads is estimated at many thousands of dollars. — Verily it would seem as if there is room for a big ice plant in Belle- fonte. As it is now Bellefonters have to depend upon two dealers, George Doll, who has his artificial plant along the pike, and R. B. Taylor, who handles the natural ice. Mr. Doll’s plant is limited in capacity and of course he can serve only a certain quantity a day. Mr. Taylor can also serve only a certain number of cus- tomers and the result is that many people who want ice cau’t get it for either love or money, while even the regular customers of the two dealers are sometimes compelled to go “short on ice.” With such a condition exist- ing in Bellefonte it would seem that a good, live man who can and will fur- nish an adequate supply of ice ought to do a good business in the town. ——Boy’s $4.50 English shoes will be $3.25 at Yeager’s on July 27 and 28. 29-1t 29-1t | with it the privileges of the: 4 In the vicinity of the !

The Postoffice Department has an- nounced that sealed proposals will be received by the fourth assistant post- master general until August 7th, 1917, for carrying United States mails from - Bellefonte to Lock Haven, by way of Zion, Hublersburg, Nittany, Lamar, Mill Hall and Flemington, a distance of twenty-seven miles and back, twelve times a week, beginning August 16th, 1917, and continuing un- til June 30th, 1921.

The schedule proposed is to leave Bellefonte at 7 a. m. and 2 p. m., dai- ly except Sunday, and arriving here at 11:30 a. m. and 7 p. m. each day.

Up to the time of going to press there was nothing def- inite about it.

In fact some re- ports are that they will not be sent away until September, but inasmuch as no orders of any kind have been is- sued ro one knows anything about it. The boys may be here several weeks or a month yet, and then again orders might come at any time to move, when of course they will go.
