A Call for 100 Additional Men.
The Local Exemption Board will
this week mail notices to an additional
100 drafted men to appear for physical
examination; the first fifty on Wednes-
day, October 17th, and the others on
Friday, October 19th. These addition-
al men will be examined and held in
reserve for any emergency, thus assur-
ing the completion of Centre county’s
first quota.
So far the local board has received
from the district board no intimation
relative to action by the higher board
on the last line of men certified to it
from Centre county. Though the men
on this list who will be declared sub-
ject to military service may exceed the
county’s first quota,
by the Provost Marshall General and
the War Department relative to the
agitated discharge of all married men
may reduce the quota by sixteen or
more. No definite orders relative to
this or any other possible changes,
however, has been received by the lo-
cal exemption board.
It is probable, according to late
newspaper reports, that Provost Mar-
shall General Crowder and the War
Department may issue orders for the
immediate examination of all drafted
men. Secretary of War Baker spent
Wednesday in Harrisburg and upon
his return to Washington was ex-
pected to formulate orders to this ef-
fect. All the examined men, however,
will be taken into servjce in the order
of their liability as drafted and called
for examination, in the exact ratio of
their priority.
The names and addresses of the men
who will be called for examination next
week are as follows:

Fifty years ago, printing and
publishing were just beginning to fig-
ure in United States industry, the to-
tal production amounting to only $40,-
600,000. According to Charles Fran-
cis, dean of American printers, the
business has increased twenty times,
so that now printing and publishing
together form the third largest manu-
facturing industry in the country and
produce $800,000,000 in material an-
pays about one-third of the world’s
otal.

~wrther decisions.
| RUMBERGER.—The “Watchman”
last week made brief mention of the
death on Wednesday of Capt. Oliver
S. Rumberger, of Warriorsmark, fol-
lowing an illness of some months
with valvular heart trouble.
Deceased was born in the Warriors-
mark valley on February 27th, 1840,
hence was 77 years, 7 months and 6
days old. As a youth Mr. Rumberger
learned the trade of a carpenter at
which he worked until the breaking
out of the Civil war and when a little
past twenty-one years of age he en-
listed as a private in old Company D,
of the 49th Pennsylvania volunteers.
Was transeferred to old Company B
in January, 1863. Made a corporal
February 28, 1864; advanced to ser-
geant June 16, 1864. Made a second
lieutenant July 25, 1864; to first
lieutenant April 16, 1865; and when
new Company H was formed he be-
came its captain April 19,.1865. Cap-
tain Rumberger has the record of
going with his regiment through
twenty-five battles and was wounded
in the breast May 10, 1864, but was
able to return to his Company and
Regiment, as the above record shows,
where he served until the final mus-
ter out.
Returning from the war he resum-
ed his work as a carpenter and con-
tractor finally settling on a farm
near Warriorsmark. In 1897 he was
appointed postmaster of Warriors-
mark and held the position sixteen
years. He was a life-long member of
the Methodist church and for years
one of the trustees of the Warriors-
mark church. He was gifted with a
high sense of music and for years led
the singing in his home church.
On January 21st, 1864, he was unit-
ed in marriage to Miss Elvira Rider
who survives with four children: Ed-
win , on the old homestead; Mrs.
Frank H. Lehman and Mrs. A. H.
Wills, of Warriorsmark, and Mrs.
Nevin N. Miller, of Tyrone. A sister
Kate lives at McVeytown and a
brother George in Fillmore, Ind.
Funeral services were held at his
late home at ten o’clock last Saturday
morning and burial was made in the
Warriorsmark cemetery.
Il
MORRISON.—Miss Jennie Morri-
son, who devoted her entire life to
school teaching, died at the Cottage
State hospital, Philipsburg, on Fri-
day evening, following an operation
she underwent for an incurable dis-
ease on September 30th. Though she
had not been in good health for some
time she taught school up until Sep-
tember 20th.
Deceased was a daughter of John
Henry and Deborah Morrison and vias
born in Bellefonte. She was educat-
ed in the public schools of this place
and at the Millersville Normal. Her
first experience as a school teacher
was acquired in Bellefonte and she at
once showed such aptness for the vo-
cation that other districts sought her
services. From Bellefonte she went
| to Snow Shoe and thirty-two years
‘ago went to Philipsburg where she
taught every session since. During
the past few years she taught Eng-
lish and oratory in the High school in
that place.
She was an active member of the
Presbyterian church for years and
lived an ideal life. Her devotion to
her school work was a thing in itself
beautiful to behold, and she was pos-
sessed of a charm and refinement
that made her a congenial companion
in the social life of the town. She is
survived by two sisters and a broth-
er, namely: Mrs. Martha Rhen, Miss
Elizabeth and Andrew Morrison, all
of Williamsport.
Funeral services were held in the
Presbyterian church at Philipsburg at
ten o'clock on Monday morning by
Rev. R. P. Miller, at the conclusion
of which the remains were brought to
Bellefonte by auto-hearse for burial
in the Union cemetery.
i
HOWARD.—Mrs. Sarah Howard
died last Friday morning at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. S. A. Hinton,
in Altoona, as the result of a stroke
of paralysis. Her maiden name was
Sarah Swires and she was born in
Milesburg eighty-nine years ago.
Most of her life was spent in Centre
county, her last residence being at
Moshannon before going to Altoona
four months ago. She was a member
of the Methodist church from early
girlhood.
Surviving her are the following
children: Mrs. G. A. Ritter, of Har-
risburg; Mrs. C. C. Walker, Jersey
Shore; John T. Howard, of Huston;

Large Attendance at Tri-County Con-
ference Held Here on Saturday.
The Woman’s club of Bellefonte
was hostess to the third annual Tri-
County conference, which met in the
High school building on Saturday,
October 6th. Mrs. J. Thomas Mitch-
ell, general chairman, and Mrs. John
S. Walker, president, the presiding
officers conducted the program in a
most gracious and efficient manner.
There were no delays and the repre-
sentatives being ready with their re-
ports, no time was wasted.
After the singing of the “Star
Spangled Banner,” Dr. Ambrose
Schmidt gave the invocation, which
was followed by the reports of the
delegates.
It is not often that a small commu-
nity is fortunate enough to secure as
much talent at one time as was dis-
played on the platform in this con- |
The credit of this privilege
ference.
is due to Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs.
Walker, who are in close touch with
club activities.
It is a source of regret that this ar-
ticle is limited to only a synopsis of
the splendid reports brought by the
Tri-County delegates. The lines of
work vary and reach out to the uplift
of humanity. Play grounds, war gar-
dens and flower gardens are provid-
ed. Mrs. Robert Lawrence, president
of Lock Haven’s Civic club, reported
the growth of a pumpkin that weigh-
ed 134 pounds, the pride of the pro-
ducer’s heart. She was asked if it
made good pies and if the seed had
been saved. Rest rooms are furnish-
ed for the weary visitor to town. The
delegates reported further upon the
work of education, art, suffrage,
magazine and book, Red Cross, nee-
dle work guilds, clean towns, junior
civic leagues, Red Cross Christmas
seals, Y. W. C. A. work and war li-
brary contributions. All received full
quota of success and serve as incen-
tives to other organizations and ac-
tivities.
The first of the prominent speakers
was Miss Helen Barnes, national sec-
retary of the Y. W. C. A, of New
York city. Her subject was “War
Emergency Work for Girls.” Miss
Barnes was in Germany when the
war was declared, later going to Lon-
don and then to Australasia. In re-
lating some of her sad experiences,
she stirred the hearts of her listeners
to sympathy and to decisions of prac-
tical assistance. She enlarged upon
{1 the activities of Australasia, saying
that every possible kind of plan and
work of older worlds is in embryo in
this island country. Girls from homes
of wealth have signed up for definite
work during the war period. No one
lives for himself or herself there.
Miss Barnes said that when she land-
ed on her own shore, she was shocked
at the indifference of the American
people in comparison with those she
had left. Her strong plea is for the
safety of the morality of girls, to
keep them from dangers and sorrows;
saying that all danger is not found
in the trenches. It is woman's duty
to save the manhood and girlhood of
today. Army officials are appealing
to national organizations for assist-
ance to protect the soldiers and to
keep the women away.
No places are provided for the vis-
iting mothers and friends of the sol-
diers—one aim of the Y. W. C. A. is
the providing of the same. This or-
ganization is asking for three and
one-half millions to carry on this
work. If war continues they will is-
sue a call for another, for as soldier-
hood grows, perilous needs of girl-
hood will increase. She urged a sacri-
ficial campaign to raise funds and
discouraged any inclination towards
reducing the contributions to the for-
eign missionaries, to Red Cross or to
any of the much-needed organiza-
tions to save life and purity. The or-
garization of the Patriotic League
for Girls, has for its motive to do all
things possible to keep soldiers pure,
to inspire us to feel the needs of girls
and to enlist for the greatest kind of
patriotic work. Miss Barnes earnest-
ly urged the country to give, give,
give and then give.
The second speaker is not a stranger
in our midst, for he is Dr. Arthur
Holmes, Dean of the General Faculty
of the Pennsylvania State College. Dr.
Holmes’ address on ‘Education in the
Present Crisis” was a masterpiece
from a psychological standpoint, as
well as from any other. It was such an
address as business men, parents, edu-
cators, young men and young women
should have heard, because of the
tragic conditions under which we are
living today. Dr. Holmes said that all
who suggested short terms, short
courses, etc., in school life, and those
who were taking their boys out of
school were ‘“sappers’—sapping the
foundation of education. The hardest
activity in the world is to be educated
—the truth of which statement is
shown in the fact that we stop self-
development after we receive our
diplomas. We need education. Dr.
Holmes said that five and one half mil-
lions of people, who are assisting in
making our laws, cannot read or
write—they are making the laws for
the educated. Dr. Holmes believes in
an education of the people, for the peo-
ple, by the people, and that he is will-
ing to live in a country of*the people’s
government; if not willing, he should
get out of it. Dr. Holmes referred to
President Wilson as the man who, when
he retires, will leave a record of re-
spect that will be historical. Dr.
Holmes showed how education wins
big salaries. He drew a picture of the
wealth of the hatural resources of
Pennsylvania, which considered with
the wealth of the education of boys
and girls cannot be compared. In cit-
Germany owes her power to education.
All that we are is due to education
and all of the sacrifices of the present
crisis will be worthless if there is not
education to back up those who are
sacrificing and supporting it.
The third of the “higher lights” is
Mrs. J. Willis Martin, State Chairman
of Council of National Defense, Wom-
an’s Committee. Mrs. Martin stated
several times that she did not repre-
sent a new or additional organization,
but a co-operative one, with all other
organizations. Women stand in the
second line of defense and have ar-
ranged for ten different departments.
1. Registration: for the purpose of
finding out the individual women pow-
er of the country, so that the right
woman can be called upon for service
where she is best fitted.
2. Food Production. The speaker
did not enlarge upon this topic. Said
| that Mr. Hoover asks that every farm-
er will raisegthree pigs more than he
did last year.
3. Conservation and Home Econom-
ics. In this line Mr. Hoover says that
Pennsylvania leads. Mrs. Martin said
| that men distributed cards, but that
: the women did the hard work of col-
lecting them.
4. Women in Industry. This refers
| to the women who are taking the plac-
{es of the men, who have gone to the
front. 70,000 women are needed. “They
and their children must be cared for
and protected until the men return.
5. Child welfare; undeveloped at
present. Laws are in progress to as-
sist in the care of the children of the
women who work in mills, etc.
6. Assisting Charities. This is the
time for sacrifices. We are not to
weaken any one of the great organiza-
tions, but do little or big additional
things,—no lagging; but to give our
best. Mr. Hoover says to get children
to lessen the amount of “sweets” to
conserve the sugar.
7. Education. There is nothing real
definite for this subject as yet. One
idea is to reach into the far rural dis-
tricts that know little or nothing of
the war. One suggestion is to show
pictures of a country before and after
the war to teach people to fight for
democracy and humanity.
8. Foreign Relief Work. Heading
this is the Red Cross, the National
League trains in telegraphy, Volun-
teer Aid, etc. The Penn’a. R. R. pro-
vides for the wives of the men who are
soldiers. The Navy League looks after
the sailors. The Emergency Aid has
a Committee for every country for the
purpose of tracing men whose friends
have not heard from them for some
time. >
9. The Committee on Safety safe-
guards the soldiers and the girls. The
Defense Committee co-operates and is
a missionary in spirit, working to get
those 'to work who are not already en-
listed in any activity.” Their aim is to
get every woman to work for present
and future needs.
Mrs. Martin speaks with great earn-
estness and has an absolute knowledge
of her subject, and evidences the
power within her.
Mrs. Newton Chatam, of Williams-
port, gave the convention a graphic
secure the Mothers’ Assistance Fund
and of their successes in Lycoming
county. Mrs. Chatam urged the Cen-
tre county delegates to put forth every
effort to secure this fund. Centre coun-
ty’s proportion of the 1917 appropria-
ation is $1950. To secure this amount,
the County Commissioners must ap-
propriate a like amount. There are
thirty-five counties who have accepted
the Mothers’ Assistance Fund, among
them the county of Clinton. Mrs.
Chatam said unless we could secure this
like appropriation through our County
Commissioners. that our $1950 goes for
use in other counties. Every argument
by our Commissioners against the
Mothers’ assistance is overbalanced by
those favoring it. Dr. Becht, Secre-
tary of the State Educational Depart-
ment, ‘says the Mothers’ Assistance
Fund has less expense attached to it
than any other appropriation fund. It
is an economical bill to save county
expenses. The fund belongs to Centre
county—there are worthy cases in need
of it, and Centre county should insist
upon her rights. Mrs. Chatam made
every Centre county delegate feel that
from a Child Welfare standpoint, that
| Centre county {should not lose this
opportunity.
The box social provided a social fea-
ture, which every member appreciated.
The Hostess Club furnished coffee, ice
cream and cake.
The success of the meeting is due to
the Committees, who so faithfully
planned and carried out their several
duties. PUBLICITY COMMITTEE,
