OWN AND COUNTY THINGS ABOUT T — The summer course for teach- ers at State College closed yesterday. St. John’s Reformed congrega- tion and Sunday school will picnic at Hecla park on Wednesday, August 8th. Trains will leave Bellefonte at 7 and 10 o'clock a. m., returning leave the park at 5 and 9 p. m. The public is invited to attend this picnic. — While at work at the Sunny- side plant of the American Lime and Stone company on Wednesday morn- ing Carl Leo was caught between two ears and a dinkey train and had both legs severely squeezed. He was taken to the Bellefonte hospital for treat- ment. — The Pennsylvania railroad con- struction crew are now working on the last abutment for the new steel bridge on the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad just south of the Bellefonte station and when it is completed it will not take long to put the super- structure in place. — The Milesburg Lodge P. O. S. of A. had a flag raising in front of their hall at 7:30 o’clock on Saturday evening. Quite naturally Our Boys band furnished the music and very patriotic and appropriate addresses were made by Col. J. L. Spangler and Clement Dale Esq. The Knights of Columbus of Bellefonte, Lock Haven and Renovo will hold their annual picnic at Hecla park on Thursday, August 16th. Com- mittees of the three Councils will meet in Lock Haven tomorrow (Saturday) evening to make the preliminary ar- rangements for the gathering. ——A band of about twenty Y. W. €. A. girls of Centre county, most of whom were from College township, spent last week at the lodge of Ives Harvey, about two miles above Romo- la on Marsh creek. On Sunday the girls entertained about twenty-five guests who went there by automobile. The girls all returned home on Tues- day. — Mr. and Mrs. Forrest L. Bul- Tock announce the marriage of their daughter, Miss Harriette Elien Bul- tock, to William Frank Entriken, on Friday, July 27th. Mr. Entriken was a former Bellefonte Academy student and a member of the 1914 class at State College. The young couple will be at home after September first at 1941 Fulton street, Harrisburg. “What women should weigh” for their age and height on page 2, eolumn 3, under “How to Regulate Your Weight.” This article is con- tinued from last week and contains eareful directions to both men and women for a sensible maintenance di- et. It is based upon tables as prepar- ed by the Association of Life Insur- ance Medical Directors. The old Campbell home at Fair- brook was the scene of a family re- union last Thursday when all the members of the family gathered to- gether for the first time in a number of years. Mr. and Mrs. Milo B. Campbell were the host and hostess and proved royal entertainers. In the evening the entire crowd attended the flag raising at Meek’s church. Coming away from the Chau- tauqua grounds on Saturday night after the close of the performance Mrs. E. S. Dorworth unthinkingly walked off of the end of a small bridge that covers the gutter on the Lamb street side of the grounds and fell into the gutter which at that place is from fifteen to eighteen inch- es deep. She was assisted to her feet by those who saw the accident and fortunately sustained no serious in- jury, though she was a little sore for several days from the shock of the fall. ——James R. Hughes, headmaster of the Bellefonte Academy, spent last week in Bradford county looking up possible students for his school this year. Bradford is not a new territory toe Mr. Hughes as he has had students from that section in attendance at the Academy in past years. And so far as the Academy goes it needs very lit- tle advertising among the people of that section of the State, asthe boys whe have been here give it a rating all its own. While it is yet too early to make any prediction as to the school attendance at the Academy the coming year yet it is understood that Mr. Hughes is meeting with consider- able encouragement and it need not be surprising if the attendance is up to its highest standard in past years. ——Jacob Lyon, the buteher, had an accident on Monday that might have proved serious but fortunately result- ed in nothing more than some amuse- ment for the bystanders who witness- ed it. Jake had been out in the coun- try in their Ford truck for a load of veal calves. Returning home he start- ed up the alley between Temple Court and the Lyon & Co. store and just as he turned the corner the left rear tire blew off of his machine and rolled on- to the pavement in front of the post- office. The inner tube also came off and wrapped around the rear axle but Jake proceeded on kis way as if noth- ing had happened until a small boy called his attention to the fact that he had lest his tire. Of course Jake was not driving very fast when the acci- dent happened, otherwise the car might have been wrecked against one of the buildings. ''To HONOR THE SOLDIER BOYS. Big Farewell Reception to be Given Troop L Saturday Night. At a public meeting held in the of- fice of Blanchard & Blanchard, last Friday evening it was decided to give Troop L a farewell reception tomor- row (Saturday) evening, at 7:30 o'clock. As now planred there will be a big parade which will include Troop L and the hospital corps, G. A. R., Spanish-American war veterans, Washington Camp No. 887 P. O. S. of A., the Logan and Undine fire com- panies, Our Boys band of Milesburg and the Coleville band. While the route of the parade cannot be given at this time it will not be over any great distance if the weather continues hot. Col. H. S. Taylor will be chief mar- shall of the parade and all organiza- tions are requested to report to him. A platform will be erected near the Curtin statue in the Diamond and it is there the final meeting will be held. Burgess Blanchard will preside and brief addresses will be made by Rev. Father Downes, Col. J. L. Spangler and Col. H. S. Taylor. The public is invited to turn out to this farewell demonstration to the young men who have so gallantly volunteered to go forth and do battle for their country. Work on the construction of the National Guard camp at Augusta did not begin until last week, according to press dispatches, and the contractors are being hampered by their inability to get supplies on short notice. The statement has been made that the con- tractor hopes to have a portion of the camp ready to receive the first contin- gents of the Guard by August 15th, but it may be later than that date. If this is correct Troop L may be here vet anyways from two weeks to a mont! but it was deemed best to give the reception now. Combi mast AAA + mer mststuee Members of Troop L are Studying French. A number of the members of Troop L are seriously preparing themselves for life in France by studying the French language. The opportunity was given the Troopers through the local Y. M. C. A. and the kindly offer of Prof. Irving L. Foster, professor of languages at The Pennsylvania State College. Dr. Weston, of the Y. M. C. A. made the arrangements whereby Prof. Foster comes down to Bellefonte every day and holds a class in the Y. M. C. A. building. So many of the Troopers manifest- ed an eagerness to learn something of the language of the lard they hepe to help clear of Germans that the facili- ties at hand were inadequate and Dr. Weston was put to to secure bocks enough to supply them. Wednesday evening Col Spangler heard of what the boys are trying to do in the way of self preparedness and handed Dr. Weston five dollars. This will help a chase are necessary and if any one else feels disposed to buy a French grammar for a Trooper such a contri: bution will be welcomed. They need twenty-five to supply the present class. Aside {from the pronunciation ['rench is probably the easiest of all foreign languages to learn and in three or four week’s study the Troop- ers can get a knowledge of it, even thougn slight, that will prove very helpful to them. In support of our assertion last week that the members of Troop L are a worthy group of young gentle- men is a little story that leaked out this week. It seems that some of them knew of the hard time Mrs. J. W. Bo- dle, of near Hunter’s park was having in getting in her hay and grain crops, her husband having died two months or more ago, so a number of them went up to the Bodle home and reap- ed the crops clear and clean and hous- ed them safely in the barn. Natural- ly the boys are not saying anything about it, therefore it is impossible to give the names of the young soldiers who did the deed, but they deserve a whole lot of credit just the same. Meal Boxes for the Soldiers. ! The Woman’s club has undertaken the task of preparing and supplying meal boxes for the members of Troop L and the hospital corps to be given them when they leave for their train- ing camp in Georgia. While the “Watchman” has not been given defi- nite information as to the size or style of the boxes, yet the purpose is to make a box capable of holding two good meals and have it ready to fill when the soldiers go away. Of course the donor of a box is also supposed to fill it when the time comes. Inasmuch as it will require 138 of these boxes to supply the troop and hospital corps the undertaking is no small one, and the Woman’s club will be glad of any assistance that can be given. All per- sons willing to furnish one or more of the boxes should notify Mrs. John S. Walker, and she will gladly furnish any information desired in connection therewith. Robert F. Hunter last week presented to Troop L a water barrel to take with them to to their training camp. The barrel was not only thor- oughly cleaned inside and painted out but is equipped with a spigot and a double lid, or top, which closes her- metically tight so as to kesp out in- sects as well as dust and dirt. It can be used for hauling water or as an ice water container, and the gift is much appreciated by members of the Troop who felt the lack of one very much when they were on the Mexican bor- der last year. ——A nine pound boy arrived in the home of Mr. and Mrs. A.

Following are the names | done for them, but say this additional kindness on the part of the people would help greatly in passing the time until the call comes for leaving to go into service. soo 1. Earl Harter, son of Harry E. Harter, of Spring township, on Wed- nesday successfully passed the exam- ination for a member of the state con- stabulary and was at once sworn in and assigned to the force at Wilkes- | g i gar, N. B. Spangler, Samuel E. Weber. Barre. — eee Several weeks ago Dr. E. S. cian, received a blank from his alma mater, the University of Pennsylva- nia, requesting that it be filled out | and returned as a record in compiling data for a medical reserve board. The | go into details but; merely wrote across the top of the] doctor did not blank, “I am eighty-four years old and willing to serve in any position you can place me.” Up to this writ- ing he has not been ordered to report. Mrs. H. M. Wetzel on Monday received a card from her son, Henry Wetzel, who was among the High school boys who enlisted for the na- vy, which contained the information that he had successfully passed his examination and was rated as a first class pharmacist. Also that he ex- pected to sail on the ship Salome for France in the very near future. Rob- ert Taylor, son of R. B. Taylor, and another of the High school boys who enlisted in May, sailed from an Amer- ican port for France some time this week, so that in the very near future Centre county will be represented in the great European conflict. —The patriotism of the real American is beyond question, but the average man would hardly go to the extreme that Frank McQueen did to serve his country. McQueen has been employed as a barber in Henry Ruhl’s shop. When the first call was sent out for volunteers to fill up the navy McQueen went to Williamsport and offered his services. An examination, however, disclosed a physical defect which disqualified him for service but which he was told could be overcome by an operation. He went to the Wil- liamsport hospital, submitted to an operation, paid the bill and came back to Bellefonte when discharged and went to work in the barber shop. Fi- nally he completely recovered from the operation and on Monday he again went to Williamsport to enlist in the navy. Oa rn en Howard Smith, the man who was recently paroled by Judge Quig- ley in the custody of E. H. Richard for work at the Whiterock quarries, tired of his job last week and took his de- parture, going to Sandy Ridge where he sought companionship with Harry Meese, under bond as a material wit- ness in the case against William Shannon for the shooting of the child of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Saylor. On learning of the whereabouts of Smith sheriff George H. Yarnell and chief of police Harry Dukeman went to Sandy Ridge early Sunday morning and learning that both Smith and Meese had planned to leave the county for parts unknowr. the officers arrested both men at the Meese home and brought them to the Centre county jail. Just what will now be done with them remains to be seen. ——The bulk of the grain in Centre county has been cut and .now the far- mers are puzzled how to take care of it all along with their bumper hay crop. Last spring the wheat fields loked very spotted and even the grass appeared frozen out and everybody predicted short crops of both grain and hay. But the wet season resulted in bringing out both the wheat and grass and the result is bumper crops. Several farmers told the writer that they will be cempelled to thresh some of their grain before hauling the bal- ance of it in, while others are unable to make all the hay they could because they have no place to put it. One far- mer near Bellefonte has several acres of grass which he offered to sell in the field for five dollars to anybody who would cut it and haul it away, but so few people aside from farmers keep either a horse or cow that he has had no takers and he figures on cutting the grass and allowing it to rot on the ground as fertilizer. The management of the Belle- fonte Chautauqua last Friday issued an invitation to all members of Troop L and the hospital corps now mobil- ized here to attend any or all of its sessions, free of charge; and on Sat- urday T. Clayton Brown, manager of the Scenic motion pieture show, and Ray Brandman, owner of the Lyric, announced that the soldier boys would hereafter be admitted free to those places of amusement. This generosi- ty on the part of the Chautauqua man- agement and the moving picture man- agers is highly appreciated by the young soldiers as it gives them a place to go and spend a portion of the evening if they desire to do so. It is also an act that should be com- mended by the public in a practical way. The Chautauqua is over but your regular patronage will undoubt- edly be appreciated by the moving picture shows, and thus can yeu show the managers how much you approve of their liberality to the soldiers. | of these who have giver, work and ! | | | | | | Dorworth, Bellefonte’s veteran physi- , mills; J.

Howard Sergeant, of Pittsburgh, so popular and well known in his former home in Philipsburg and in Bellefonte as well, and Mrs. G. Fred Musser, of Bellefonte, have each sent the “Watchman” $1.50 this week with which to purcnase yarn for sweaters for the soldier boys. As we stated last week all that ave needed now are enough for the hos- pital corps. About half of the requir- ed number are already provided for but Mrs. Curtin needs enough for the other half. Inasmuch as there are a number of Altoona and Philipsburg boys in the corps it has been suggest- ed that an appeal be made to the peo- ple of Philipsburg and Altoona to cend some contributions or volunteer to knit some of the sweaters. The Bellefonte ladies have knitted more than a hundred sweaters and will gladly knit them all but fear that they can’t complete ore for each sol- dier before they are called away un- less they get help soon. Contributions can still be sent through the “Watchman” or direct to Mrs. John Curtin, Bellefonte, and those volunteering to knit a sweater will be supplied with yarn and instrue- tions as to knitting if they write her. Another Box of Supplies Sent to France. Another box of hospital supplies containing 1603 pieces, and including rolled bandages and various other ar- ticles, has been sent to Lyons, France, by the Needlework Guild of Belle- | Bellefonte visitor on Saturday evening fonte. This makes the third box shipped to Lyons since the beginning | of the Lenten season in the spring, the three boxes containing 8836 pieces. ! The ladies still have on hand four doz- en of hair pillows for hospital use which they will also send to Lyons, and after that all their energies will be directed toward making supplies for the hospital at Chambray, France, donated for service during the war by Mrs. Owen Johnson, (Miss Cecille de Lagarde.) The members of the Needlework Guild deserve a great deal of credit for their work. Without going out and soliciting help either financially or otherwise they quietly go about their work, meeting twice a week at the High school building and, cutting and sewing and rolling, and when they have enough of pieces to fill a box they do so and send it on its errand of mercy. ——The big Grange encampment at Centre Hall will be held this year as usual and will be the only week’s out- ing to be held in the county this fall. Already all the preliminary plans for the encampment have been made and if the committee’s endeavors count for anything it should prove as big an af- fair as usual.
