THE POTTER-HOY
picnic of the P. O. S. of A. Alliance of
Notes of Interest to Church People of
Centre county held at Grange park,
all Denominations in all Parts of
Centre Hall, on Labor day. The day’s
program began with a pig parade in
the morning which was made up of
the various P. O. S. of A. Camps
throughout the county, a batallion of
Troop L, the Citizens band of Fergu-
son township and the Pleasant Gap
band, a delegation of the G. A. R., the
Centre Hall fire company, school chil-
dren and civic organizations. The pa-
rade marched through Centre Hall
and out to the grounds where a public
meeting was held in the auditorium.
Clement Dale Esq., president of the
Centre county Alliance, presided and
the opening prayer was made by Rev.
W. H. Williams, of Spring Mills. Mr.
Dale then introduced Judge Albert W.
Johnson, of Union county, as the ora-
tor of the day and he made a delight-
fully interesting and entertaining
talk, dwelling at length on the patri-
otic purposes of the P. O. S. of A. The
meeting adjourned with the benedic-
tion by Rev. Foss, of Centre Hall.
Most of those present partook of a
basket dinner at the noon hour,
though the refreshment stand on the
grounds had sufficient food to feed all
those who did not go prepared. The
only versons who were in hard luck
were the president of the Alliance,
Clement Dale and family, who on
going to their car to get their lunch
basket found it missing. Of course
they were not very well pi¢ased over
the idea of somebody stealing their
dinner and it spoiled the day for them,
but when they returned home they
found the nicely-packed lunch basket
standing in the front hall, they having
forgotten to put it in the car.
The afternoon was spent entirely
in social intermingling and amuse-
ments. A baseball game hetween
Centre Hall and a team from Lewis-
town was won by the former 12 to 0.
All in all it proved a most successful
gathering for the P. O. S. of A. of
Centre county.
Facts of Interest to National Army
Men.
Washington, Sept. 6.—Drafted men
of the first five per cen=. of the con-
tingent for the new national army
when they leave for mobilization
camps are directed in regulations re-
cently issued to take a minimum of
civilian clothing and personal belong-
ings. Toilet articles, towels and hand-
kerchiefs are recommended, and no
objection will be made to two changes
of underclothing, but other articles
are frowned upon.
Attention is called to the fact that
civilian clothing will be discarded
when camp is reached and to those
not desiring to send such apparel back
home, it was suggested that clothing
not worth keeping be worn. The men
may carry only light hand baggage
on the train and, as suit cases an
hand bags will not be allowed for per-
manent use at camp articles may he
carried in bundles if desired.
Before reporting to the local board
drafted men should have their hair
cut very short; should bz bathed and
wear clean clothing. To insure quick
communication with his family, each
recruit is advised to provide himself
with post cards or stamped envelopes.
MEN CALLED GET PAY.
Harrisburg, Sept. 6.—Colonel Frank
G. Sweeney in charge of the state
draft headquarters, on Monday tele-
graphed to the local draft boards to
notify him whether arrangements had
been made for the dispatch of the first
men assigned to go to mobilization
camps. The men who will go this
week will go to Camps Lee and Sher-
man, those assigned to Camp Meade
being held off until September 19.
Colonel Sweeney also warned the
local boards that only men who have
been called to go to camp are to be
considered as entitled to pay. Not all
men accepted for service are to be
certified for pay beginning September
5 but only men called to go on that
day. The pay of the men will begin
on the day upon which they are call-
ed, but they will be paid from that
time whether they are sent to camps
or held at home.
Special instructions have been given
to men in charge of the drafted men
to see that the groups are kept to-
gether, and that each man is provid-
ed with comfortable shoes.
Governor Appoints New Commis-
sioners.
Harrisburg, September 3.—State
Insurance Commissioner J. Denny
0O’Neil, of McKeesport, was today ap-

set, who resigned a month ago, at the
request of the Governor and Charles
L. Ambler, of Abington, Speaker of

Due to the scarcity of broom-
corn, State Senator J. R. Domengeaux
of Louisiana, has experimented suc-
cessfully with palmetto leaves as a

in the making of puip and paper. The

HARDWARE COMPANY
Has Solved the Heating Problem in Bellefonte
by Securing the Agency for the
Peerless Caloric Furnace
A Furnace that will heat your entire building at a minimum
cost, requires only one register and does away with all piping—
this reduces the cost in every way.
It is especially suited for
Churches and School Houses, as the temperature can be chang-
ed from zero to 70 degrees in one hour. Itis revolutionizing the
heating system, and will be worth while, before you contract
for any other kind of heating plant to first consult The Potter-
Hoy Hardware Company of Bellefonte, who will furnish you
full particulars about this new solution of our heat problem.
Positively No Money Asked for Until the Furnace
Has Proven Satisfactory.
