Sheriff Yarnell yesterday had all the papers and equipment of the exemption board moved from the grand jury room in the court house to his office at the jail, as the former room will be needed next week by the grand jury in attendance at the Sep- tember term of court. On Wednesday night of last week the home of Jefferson Tressler, near Rockview, was burned to the ground, with a good part of the con- tents. The fire happened between twelve and one o’clock and the house being a frame structure burned quite rapidly. Mr. Tressler carried some insurance. Miss Ellen Eckert, who recent- ly resigned her position as night su- perintendent of the Altoona hospital, has been appointed state dispensary nurse for the Tyrone-Bellefonte-Lock Haven district and will begin her du- ties on Tuesday. She will succeed Miss Mayme Peck, who has held the position several years. The Cen*ral City grammar school will hold an ice cream festival Saturday evening, September 22nd, at the home of Miss Ella Levy. The pro- ceeds will be devoted to the purchase of a book-case for the school library and a clock. Our Girls band will be present and play during the evening. The public is cordially invited. Now that the Granger’s picnic is over Bellefonters and others will have lots of time to spare and a good place to spend the evenings is at the Scenic. Go and see the big serials, the weekly news features, laughing comedies and thrilling dramas as por- trayed upon the screen. They are all interesting and well worth seeing. Malcolm J. Green, formerly of Bellefonte but of late working at his trade as a barber in Altoona, is the first colored man to be accepted for service in the United States army in Altoona, he having enlisted on Tues- day. The army is now in need of col- ored men for stevedores and long- shoremen and will accept their enlist- ment at once. -——Kathryn Williams and William Farnum present Rex Beach’s famous novel, “The Spoilers,” in eight reels to be shown at the Scenic, September 26th, matinee and night. This great film was made.in Alaska and contains the picture of that already famous film fight between Farnum and Santchi that is a classic of its kind in the movie world. Col. H. S. Taylor is looking . around for a suitable location for a relay feed store. About a year ago he purchasd at sheriff’s sale the old Wag- ner mill at Milesburg and he has the same put in shape and expects to put: it in operation shortly as a feed mill. It is to be in shape to handle the pro- duct of his mill that he is looking for a suitable place for a feed store. The big Milton fair wili be held next week, September 25th to 28th in- elusive. The fair management has hung up over four thousand dollars in purses and a number of unusually good free attractions have been secur- ed. Since the Centre county fair has become a thing of the past horsemen and farmers in this county wishing to spend a day or two at a good county fair cannot go to a better place than Milton. At the request of the Federal Reserve bank of Philadelphia, Charles M. McCurdy, president of the First National bank, has arranged for a eonference of the bankers of Centre county at the Nittany Country club, on Saturday, September 22nd. It is proposed to effect an organization of the banks to promote the sale of the next issue of Liberty Loan bonds, which will be offered to the public about October first. Charles F. Beatty, of Pitts- burgh, arrived in Bellefonte this week for the purpose of establishing a branch depot for the Ford automobile. He will have charge of the sale of the Ford cars in all of Centre county and will make a strong effort to double the sale of this popular car throughout this section of the State. Mr. Beatty expects to be temporarily located within a few days but eventually ex- pects to erect a building to accommo- date his needs. THE “WATCHMAN’S” TEEAT FOR THE SOLDIERS. Ice Cream for Their Sunday Dinner in Camp Furnished by This Paper. Recognizing the fact that there is nothing too good for the Bellefonte and Centre county boys who are now in training for service in France the “Watchman” last Saturday morning sent the following telegram to Capt. H. Laird Curtin, of Troop Lj; Capt. Wilbur F. Leitzell, of the Boal Ma- chine Gun troop, and Capt. S. M. Huff, of the First cavalry hospital corps: Bellefonte, Pa., Sept. 15. Give all your men ice cream for Sunday dinner. Check is on the way to cover cost of same. (Signed) The *Watchman.” While we have not yet learned ex- actly how the boys enjoyed the treat we feel that they deserve the very best that can be given them by their friends back at home and any remem- brance of like character will no doubt help them to realize that even if they are hundreds of miles away, working hard from early morn until late at night to fit themselves as the defend- ers of the nation’s honor, that they never will be forgotten by their friends at home, no matter where they are. The soldiers, by the way, had a rather uneventful trip to Georgia. Going from here to Harrisburg the troopers were transferred to tourist sleeping cars and while making the transfer a regular army officer, who happened to be in Harrisburg at the time, commented very flatteringly up- on the appearance of Troop L, saying that they were as fine a looking body of men as can be found in the regular army. Several stops were made on the southern trip to give the men a chance to exercise and to take off the horses for exercise and at just 5:30 o’clock Thursday morning the troop train pulled up on the siding at Fort Han- cock, which is five miles from the city of Augusta, Ga. Thirty big motor trucks were in waiting and in ‘very short order the troopers were unload- ed bag and baggage and transferred to their camp site. The cavalry camp is located in a forest of large, virgin pine trees which affords both shelter and shade, and commands a good view of the Georgia cotton fields which are now in full bloom. The camp is admirably situated and equipped. It is lighted throughout by electricity, even to the soldiers’ tents, while each troop has a battery of six shower baths. The soldiers started their sixteen weeks of intensive train- ing on Monday morning and word from the camp is in effect that the sol- diers are applying themselves with such vim and energy to the work that it is believed they will complete their training ahead of schedule time. The morale of the troops is said to be ex- ceptionally good and the latest word received from Troop L stated. that everybody was in good health and the best of spirits. “Watchman” readers we know will miss the interesting letters that Corp. Harry J. Cohen wrote from Texas last year, but by next week we hope to have another correspondent who will keep the people of Bellefonte and Cen- tre county informed of the camp life of our soldier boys. Just now all of them are wondering just what the much-talked-of-reorganization will mean to them and naturally they long for it to be settled soon. . LETTER FROM A SOLDIER. On Wednesday Roy H. Grove receiv- ed a letter from his brother, Corp. Claire N. Grove, who is with the Sher- idan Troop of Tyrone, in which he tells of the trip down and the first few days in camp. He said that going down through Virginia they saw so many marshes and cotton fields that they reminded them of their trip to Texas last year. The Troop arrived at Fort Hancock at twelve o’clock Thursday night and by two o’clock everything was unloaded and at their camp site. Corp. Grove says the truck train system is really marvelous in its efficiency. The very minute one truck was loaded and out of the road another was backed up to the car. The mess shacks, he says, are 30x 100 feet in size with three rows of ta- bles and benches. They have eight bell tents, each big enough to accom- modate seven or eight men comforta- bly. On Sunday new clothing was is- sued to the men, consisting of one pair of trousers, one shirt, four pairs of socks and a pair of shoes. The first night all the new men were given cots, so that there is no sleeping on the ground. Corp. Grove says there are all kinds of rumors about the changes to be made, and one is that the caval- ry will be used as mounted police, but the boys hope not. v . He also says that the natives there are a selfish lot and don’t seem anx- ious to talk to the soldiers, while a meal in Augusta costs almost a month’s wages. New Limestone Company. During the past week the Oak Hall Lime and Stone company was organ- ized with the following officers: Pres- ident, D. H. Yoder, master mechanic at the new penitentiary; secretary and treasurer, Harry A. Rossman, and general manager, Charles Hassinger. The new company has closed a deal to take the limestone from the hill on the Dale farm at Oak Hall eon a five cents a ton royalty basis. Kilns will also be erected for burning lime. ——Mr. and Mrs. William A. Ma- gee, of Winona, N. J., are rejoicing over the advent of a little son, William A. Jr., who arrived last week. Both Mr. and Mrs. Magee are well known in Centre county and their many friends extend congratulations. gentleman said: IT JUST HAPPENED. Writing from Philadelphia on Saturday a young “I just happened to notice the label on my paper this week and thought it would be a good thing to pay up.” And he enclosed a check to pay his paper a year in advance. : My, how happy we would be if every subscriber of the “Watchman” whose label is marked 1917 or prior to this year would just happen to notice it and decide to send us a check at once. SHANNON’S LONG SENTENCE. Plead Guilty to Second Degree Mur- der and Sent Up for Sixteen Years. William Shannon, the Sandy Ridge youth who, on Sunday evening, June 24th shot and instantly killed Leanore Saylor, the three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Saylor, of that place, plead guilty to murder in the second degree, at a special sessions of court yesterday morning and was sen- tenced by Judge Quigley to a term of sixteen years in the western peniten- tiary. It will be recalled that Shannon had had an altercation with Mrs. Harry Meese and drew a revolver to shoot her but instead shot the child in the head as she held it in her arms. Shan- non’s plea at first was that he was not guilty of any murder as he had not shot at the child but at Mrs. Meese. Robert Folk and Robert Tressler, who have been in jail the past few weeks for furnishing liquor to men of intemperate habits, were paroled by Judge Quigley. A Fine New Play House Opened in Philipsburg. The new Rowland Theatre, the mag- nificent play house which Congress- man Charles H. Rowland has built for his home town of Philipsburg, was formally opened on Wednesday even- ing when the original Liebler company produced the dramatized version of Robert Hichen’s absorbing novel “The Garden of Allah.” It is needless to say anything of a play that has already commanded the profound admiration of the most ex- acting dramatic critics, further than that it was presented by the original caste and with the same entrancing scenic investiture that created so much of a sensation at the original production. It required a special train to carry the company to Philipsburg, for there were scores of Arabs, cam- els, donkeys, goats and other impor- tations from the real Garden of Allah. The opening was really a function in the eyes of Philipsburg. Congress- man Rowland was home from Wash- ington and as guests there were emi- nent jurists, railroad officials, lawyers and prominent business men from va- rious parts of Central Pennsylvania. In one row we noticed Judge White- head of Lycoming; Judge Bell, of Clearfield, and Judge Quigley, of Cen- tre. Julian Millard, the architect, and W. A. Hoyt, the constructing engi- neer, were also noticed in the foyer receiving the congratulations of many who had been impressed with the ar- tistic and commodious creation. The Theatre is located on Front St., in the heart of the business section and is of red tapestry brick with pol- ished granite trimmings. It has a seating capacity of 1141 and the room- iness reminds one of the old Grand Opera House in Philadelphia. It is fire proof so far as human ingenuity can guard against such catastrophe and the stage is in size and scenic fa- cility adapted to the unhampered pre- sentation of the best metropolitan productions. Congressman Rowland has given Philipsburg something to be proud of and Philipsburg is to be congratulat- ed on having a citizen with the spirit to erect a playhouse that could have a place among the most ornate in the country, as well as an auditorium that will fill a long felt want in its provi- sion for conventions and other public gatherings that Philipsburg so often entertains.

Watch for him as he is being driven through the streets of Belle- fonte. — TITAN METAL CO. LOCATED. Takes Nittany Furnace Site for New Auxiliary Plant. On Friday of last week all the ques- tions at issue over the title to the old Nittany furnace site were satisfactori- ly adjusted and the location passed in- to the hands of the Titan Metal com- pany as the site for their new auxilia- ry plant. On Saturday morning work was resumed on the erection of an of- fice and one or two other small build- ings while men were put to work on preparing the foundation for the first big building, which will be 60x200 feet in size. In the above building will be locat- ed the extrusion department. It will be equipped with a one thousand ton extrusion press, the latest model put out by the Southwork Foundry and Machine company, Philadelphia, and will be used for the extrusion of brass and bronze work, such as round, hexa- gon, octagon and square rods, in size ranging from % to 3% inches in thick- ness. Bronze angles, channels, ete., used in ship building work will also be made, as well as bronze shapes of all kinds. ; This building will be of steel and concrete and has been made and will be shipped here and erected by the Concrete-Steel Building company, of Detroit, Mich. As soon as the build- ing is completed one entire depart- ment of the old plant will be moved here. That will be the cold working department, the smelting department and rolling mill to be kept at Miles- burg for the time being. As soon as the above building is erected and equipped so that work can be started on orders the company now has book- ed a second building 30x150 feet in size will be erected for a forging plant. This will be equipped with ten 150-ton presses designed by the Titan company’s engineer. Trueing and die working machines will also be installed. As now planned it is the intention of the company to ultimately consolidate its entire plant on the new site, which will mean the erection of a third building 55x125 feet as a smelting room. This will probably be done within the next year or eighteen months, and when all is complete the company will employ from two to three hundred skilled workmen. They now have orders for about six million pieces of bronze work, enough to keep them busy for six months, and about one-third of which is a government contract. All the machinery for the plant is either here or ready for ship- ment, hence the desire to get the first building up as soon as possible. Now that the company has finally settled on a location due credit must be given the president and executive committee of the Bellefonte Board of Trade for getting this industry for Bellefonte. As has already been pub- lished in the “Watchman” the Board of Trade tendered the Titan company the glass works site but for various reasons it was not found available. But now that the Nittany furnace site has been selected the Board of Trade will accept the American Lime and Stone company’s offer of $5,500 for the glass works meadow and just as soon as the Titan company has two of their main buildings erected will turn the money over to them as the pur- chase price of the Nittany furnace site. Drowned at Philipsburg. On Tuesday afternoon district at- torney James C. Furst was notified that the body of Lorenza Leathers, an eighteen year old youth, had been found in the Cold Stream dam that morning, and that the case was re- garded with some mystery. A physi- cian who examined the body declared that death had not been caused by drowning, and no marks of violence could be found to indicate the manner of death. The district attorney and coroner John Sebring empowered "Squire Hawkins to hold an inquest but up to yesterday it could not be learned if the jury succeeded in un- raveling the mystery. ——Bellefonte friends of Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Reed will be interested in knowing that they are now in Paris where Mr. Reed has allied himself with the Red Cross and where they both will remain indefinitely.

On their way from Beyrout to Paris they went by way of Constantinople and for five days and five nights Mrs. Reed was obliged to sit on a board seat in a railway car without an op- portunity to lie down.
