Ernest C. Dickson, Leland Stanford
University School of Med:cine, Cali-
fornia. In a series of experiments he
has tested the efficiency of this method
of canning vegetables and found the
heat insufficient to destroy the spores
of bacillus botulinus—the cause of
poisoning. He urges that food canned
by this method should always be boil-
ed before it is eaten on even tasted.
His paper is given in more detail on
page 2, and the warning should be
heeded by all.
——Last Thursday evening Harry
Janet was on his way to Milesburg
from his home this side of the Divide
with about five hundred pounds of
meat. He failed to notice the approach
of a freight train on the Bald Eagle

about two-thirds over the crossing at
the brick yard the train hit his truck.
The latter was badly demolished and
the beef scattered all over the ground.
The latter was gathered up and as
much of it saved as possible, while the
badly demolished truck lay there until
Wednesday evening of this week when
it was hauled to Bellefonte by a farm-
er and taken to the Palace Garage to
be rebuilt. Just why Janet failed to
notice the approach of the train has
not been explained by him.
How Bellefonte Soldiers
Are Training in Camp.
Another Interesting Letter from the
Boys in Georgia, with Sidelights
On the Country in General.
(By Corp. Henry Keller.)
Hdqrs. Troop L, 1st Pa. Cav.
Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga.
October 6th, 1917.
Editor “Democratic Watchman:”
Since writing last week’s letter
several things have happened which
may be of interest so I will do my
best to relate them as they occurred.
Saturday morning inspection was’
called off because of terrible weath-
er. By afternoon the day became
very pretty and many of us went
down to see a base ball game between
I and K troops. The winner was to
play us the following Wednesday. K
troop, of Lock Haven, won and those
boys who were given passes went into
town. By night a terrible storm
came up and several tents were bad-
ly washed out, quite a large stream
of water using the floor of Corporal
Hen Miller's tent as a channel
Trooper John Steele, our obliging or-
acle, could explain it in but one way.
He said that the Lord must have felt
that we were not getting a fair show
as cavalry. They have tried us at
everything on land so He has given
us a shot of “life at sea.”
Sunday was a fine day and we held
our belated inspection together with
muster. It surely took work %o clean
up those washed out tents bu’ by 8:30
Sunday morning all was finiched and
the troop was lined up outside on the
company street.
The week has passed with few in-
cidents of interest. Our work has
been harder than ever but more in-
teresting. We have about two hours
continuous drill at both closed and
extended order. Following this we
have a long hike, the object being to
strengthen us for forced marches.
We are trying to take a sixty minute
hike with no rests, using the regula-
tion thirty-inch step with a cadence
of 130 steps per minute. Today for
a while we made as high as 136 but
the corporal leading the hike endan-
gered his life by so doing. As John
Steele said, “they should start out at
a walk and break into a run gradu-
ally.” :
In the afternoon we have fatigue
duty and equitation classes. At three
thirty our lecture comes and this week
it has been of unusual interest:
Range finding, compass work, esti-
mating distances, map making and
contour reading along with a bit of
bayonet experience, were all taken
up. Each day at the close of the lec-
ture Captain Curtin reads us a chap-
ter or two from “Over the Top,” a
book written by an American who
has been fighting for England and
has been in the trenches. It is a won-
derful history of the part he has tak-
en in the war and when we feel that
our life is rather hard, or our food
rather below what we think we ought
to get, that book knocks the feeling
right out of us.
Most of our boys have been well; a
few, though, have been on the sick
list. Corporal Crissman has been
sick and likewise Trooper Gamble,
while Trooper Gutwald has fully re-
covered from his illness.
In athletics we have been going
along fine. Wednesday afternoon we
easily defeated Troop K in the base
ball game, 18 to 8. Sergeant Yeager
has been put in charge of our athlet-
ics. He arranged with the Y. M. C.
A. for a volley ball set which arrived
yesterday. Every odd minute is now
taken up by that game and tonight
after mess the Sergeants defeated the
Corporals 20-17. All athletics of this
camp are supervised by Walter Cary,
Jr., and he is assisted by the vari-
ous Y. M. C. A. men. Our regiment
is forming a foot ball team and we
hope to place several troop L men on
the team.
Since last week Trooper Winehouse
has been made a Sergeant and Troop-
er George Stewart quarter master
Sergeant. The men are very much
pleased with their promotions and are
co-operating in every respect with
the new non-coms. :
A good many boxes have reached
us this week for which we are duly
thankful. Many letters and cards
have also come and all I can say is,
“keep it up” for nothing is more for-
lorn looking than “one” of the boys
when an expected letter fails to ar-
rive. And the boys who get mail can
always be told by the smile on their
faces. ;
Sergeant Wilbur Decker has been
selected to help Lieut. Smith in in-
structing the troop in bayonet work.
So every afternoon he may be found
at the “trenches” practicing with that
most efficient weapon. Sergeant John-
son and trooper Bender have been
chosen song leaders for all hikes and
so when the walking becomes weary,
the singing will do much to rest the
tired troopers.
The Southland is yet a place of won-
der to us. We are not used to the
negro chants as they pick cotton, and
the terrible taste of the unripe per-
simmon is as yet a fact we cannot
become used to. The peanuts, the
limes, sugar cane, almost everything
that is grown here, is new to us and
the only birds we have seen as yet
are large turkey buzzards.
Each day that we are here we re-
alize more and more that we are be-
ing trained for the trenches “some-
where in France.” If we are not tak-
en over it will not be because we are
not ready. We expect pay-day al-
most any time now, and every one is
looking forward to that day.
Each and every one of “the boys”
joins me in sending best wishes home
and so I leave you ‘till next week.

of Williamsport, and Nell J. Hast-
ings Miller, of Bellefonte, were mar-

Union County Fair Oct. 16th to 19th.
C. Dale Wolfe, secretary, and Wil-
liam P. Mauser, president of the Un-
ion county Agricultural society, in-
form the “Watchman” that the an-
nual fair which this year will be held
October 16, 17, 18 and 19, will be the
best exhibition at Lewisburg in re-
cent years.
Great preparations have been made
for the entertainment of the large
crowds and good bands have been se-
cured to furnish music on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday.
The exhibition of cattle and horses
and poultry this year promises to be
larger and better than ever before.
The races this year will be up to
the usual standard, and due to the
fact that the local fair is the last one
on the circuit, there will be a great
number of horses there. Already en-
tries are being received and lovers of
good horse racing can rest* assured
that there will be plenty of it during
the big days of the fair.
The City Bi
Bakery Compelled to
Enlarge its Plant.
In scarcely more than six months
time the City Bakery has developed
business in this section that has far
outgrown the capacity of the plant,
which at the time it was built was
supposed to be ample’ for all future
needs.
As a result the buildings are now
being enlarged, new ovens are under
way and automatic rounding, scaling
and water machines have been order-
ed for installation. . When the new
two-story addition is completed Belle-
fone will have one of the most mod-
ern baking establishments in the
country. It will have a capaeity of
12000 loaves a day and so much of
the work will be automatically done
that human hands will scarcely touch
the bread from the flour to the finish-
ed product.
We congratulate - Mr. Clevenstine
on the great success he has made of
the enterprise. He is giving the pub-
lic bread equal to the best and his
service is so fine that every day heis
taking on new customers.
Tyrone Man Killed in Automobile
Accident. .
Frank Hull, a well known young
man of Tyrone, was so badly injured
in an automobile accident near Han-
nah station on Saturday evening that
he died in the Altoona hospital at
11.30 o’clock that night.
For some time past Hull has been
engaged in lumbering operations in
the neighborhood of Hannah. Quit-
ting work late Saturday afternoon he
got into the car and started for his
home in Tyrone. In crossing the iron
bridge near the Hannah station the
steering rod broke causing the car to
swerve to the side then turn turtle
and plunge down over the embank-
ment at the side of the stream, pin-
ning Hull underneath it. In some
way, however, he managed to crawl
out and got to the side of the road
where he lay until a car owned by
W. E. Hoffman, returning to Tyrone
from a trip to Bellefonte, came along,
when the driver stopped and getting
Hull, took him to Tyrone and sent
him to the hospital in Altoona. His
death was the result of internal in-
juries. Just about two weeks previ-
ous Hull was in an auto accident near
Howard when he ditched his car to
save hitting a boy who ran in front
of it. At that time he suffered in-
juries about his head and neck.
Hull was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jo-
seph G. Hull and was thirty-six years
old. He is survived by his wife, one
son, his parents, four brothers and
two sisters. He was a member of the
Methodist church and the fraternal
Order of Eagles of Buffalo. Burial
was made in the Grandview cemetery
at Tyrone at three o’clock on Tuesday
afternoon.
In addition to her stock of
women’s fine shirt waists, underwear
and novelties, Mrs. M. C. Gephart is
offering for sale a china closet, a roll
top desk, shelving and other furniture
used in her shop. A stable in Cherry
alley, directly back of the Haag House,
will also be sacrificed by Mrs. Gep-
hart’s sale preparatory to leaving
Bellefonte.

Buy a Liberty Bond.
The foundation of our great
country is liberty; its superstruc-
ture,” peace.—William McKinley.
THE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN.
The bonds of the second issue of the
Liberty Loan are to be issued under
the act of Congress approved by the
President September 24, 1917.
The amount of the issue will be $3,-
000,000,000 or more; $3,000,000,000 will
be offered, and the right is reserved
to allot bonds in excess of that amount
to the extent of one-half of the over-
subscription. That is, if $5,000,000,000
is subscribed the right is reserved to
issue $1,000,000,000 more than the $3,-
000,000,000.
The bonds will be offered for sale
on October 1st, 1917, and subscriptions
will be received until the close of the
business day of October 27.
The bonds will bear the date No-
vember 15, 1917, and will mature No-
vember 15, 1942. But the government
reserves the right to call in and pay
the bonds in full, with accrued interest,
any time after 10 years after their
date.
THE BONDS.
The second issue of Liberty Loan
Bonds will be of two kinds, registered
and coupon.
The registered bonds will be regis-
tered at the Treasury in the names of
their owners and will be of the de-
nominations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000,
$5,000, $10,000, and $100,000. Checks
for the interest of these bonds will be
mailed from the Treasury to the own-
ers each semiannuai-interest date.
The coupon bonds will be payable
to bearer and will have coupons at-
tached for the interest. They will be
in denominations of $50, $100, $500,
$1,00, $5,000, $10,000. The coupons can
be cashed like a government check at
any bank.
The coupon bonds of this loan will
have only four coupons attached, rep-
resenting the semiannual interest for
two years. Between November 15th,
1919 and May 15, 1920, the holders of
coupon bonds must exchange their
bonds for new bonds having full sets
of coupons. These temporary bonds
are issued because the work of en-
graving so many bonds with so large
a number of coupons attached can not
be completed within a reasonable time
for delivery.
PAYMENT OF BONDS.
A purchaser may pay in full for his
bonds at the time of making his appli-
cation or, if he so prefers, he can take
advantage of the installment plan and
pay 2 per cent. on application, 18 per
cent. on November 15th, 1917, 40 per
cent. on December 15th, 1917, and the
remaining 40 per cent. on January 15,
1918.
Although so far as the Government
is concerned the purchase price for the
bonds must be paid as above, nearly
every bank in the country will make
arrangements by which Liberty Loan
Bonds can be paid on the installment
plan providing for weekly or monthly
payments, and a great many employers
will make the same arrangements for
their employees.
If the heart of the whole country is
with our soldiers of the National Army,
and it is believed that it is, the money
of the Nation will be back of them.
The Liberty Loan is to be used to arm,
equip, and maintain our soldiers, to
prepare them for the conflict in France,
and make them as effective and pow-
erful as possible and safeguard them
in every way possible. In addition, it
will be used to give them life and in-
demnity insurance and provide for
their dependents. The uses of the
Liberty Loan appeal to every patriotic
American, for it is used for our sol-
diers and sailors and the principles
which they uphold, which the heart of
the whole country is with.
Guernsey Cattle Breeder's Associa-
tion Organized.
Some twelve or fifteen Guernsey cat-
tle owners in Centre county met at the
office of the Centre County Farm

afternoon of last week, and organized

Breeders’ Association. An executive,
committee of nine men was chosen as

officers: President, J. Will Mayes;
Vice President, J. H. Detwiler; Sec-
retary,” J. G Shook; Treasurer, Wil-
liam H. Homan.
While the number of men present
at the organization meeting was not
large it did not include all the Guern-
sey owners in the county, and a num-
ber of others have signified their in-
tention of becoming members at the
nexth regular meeting of the associa-
tion, so that the organizers anticipate
good results in the future in the work
of the association in fostering the up-
building of the very best breeds of
stock throughout the county.

—S. F. Bucher, with his young son,
Andrew, of Medford, Oklahoma, were
Watchman office callers on Monday.
Mr. and Mrs. Bucher, with their
daughter, Esther, and son, Andrew, left
Oklahoma on August 9th in their car
and motored as far as Pittsburgh.
There Mrs. Bucher conceived the idea
that the roads in Pennsylvania would
be so bad that there would be no
pleasure in motoring to Bellefonte, so
she persuaded her husband to ship the
car and they made the trip by train,
thereby losing the best part of their
trip. Mrs. Bucher before her mar-
riage was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew McClintic, of Penns Valley,
and this is the family’s first visit to
Centre county in nineteen years, but
as they have retired from the farm
they expect to spend the winter among
friends in Penns Valley.
Our faithful Pine Grove Mills cor-
respondent, Captain W. H. Fry, whose
weekly letters are read with interest
by hundreds, is attending the reunion
of his old Regiment, the famous 45th,
P. V. 1, at a two-days gathering at
Williamsport this Thursday and Fri-
day, October 11 and 12. While an ex-
tremely busy man of affairs Captain
Fry is most loyal to the flag and al-
ways finds time to attend gatherings of
the G. A. R. far and near. Next week
Captain Fry expects to attend the great
Vicksburg celebration, as the 45th was
one of the Pennsylvania contingents
which from July 1st to 5th, 1863, help-
ed win-one of the most decisive battles
of the war, during which over 4,000
prisoners were captured. W. A. Hart-
sock, of Martha, another member of
the fighting 45th, left this Thursday
for Vicksburg, Miss., where he will al-
so attend the celebration. Though
there were but four Pennsylvania regi-
ments engaged during the Vicksburg
campaign, many of our loyal G. A. R.
men have planned to attend the cele-
bration.
Activities of Women.
Every woman in Cologne, Germa-
ny, is forced to work.
A Two Rivers, Wis., factory has
replaced men with women on all the
light machines in the plant.
Mrs. Florence Kelley has been ap-
pointed by Secretary of War Baker
a member of the Labor Control
Board.
As a result of work done by agents
of the Home Economics Bureau of
the Department of Agriculture,
thousands of Southern women are
now practical and successful farmers
in many of the Southern States.
After attempts by others failed,
Congress-
woman from Montana, has been suc-
cessful in securing passports for two
Montana boys of German parentage,
who wished to join the Red Cross
forces at the front.
