THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY ———F Potts Green celebrated his eighty-third birthday on Tuesday. — The Bellfonte Lodge of Moose : had a big banquet on Tuesday in cel- ebration of their anniversary. A miscellaneous shower was tendered Miss Helen M. Wetzel, at the home of her mother on Thomas street, last Friday evening. Mrs. J. Thomas Mitchell was elected vice-president of the Central district of Pennsylvania, at the State convention of clubs, held in Erie last week. The annual chicken and waffle supper of the Ladies Aid society of the United Brethren church will be served in the social room of the church on Thursday, November 1st. Lieut. Vincent Nicholas Tay- lor has been oredered from the army station at Syracuse, N. Y., to the training cantonment at Fort Sill, Ok- lahoma, where he will be connected with the Thirty-eighth infantry. Harold B. Gardner has resign- ed his position as chemist for the Pennsylvania railroad in Altoona and on Tuesday left for St. Louis, where he has accepted a position as chief chemist for a large steel company. Mr. and Mrs. Irvin O. Noll, who for several years have made their home in Conshohocken, have moved to Landsdowne, 58 cast Greenwood avenue. Mr. Noll is a teacher in one of the boys’ High schools in Philadel- phia. A bazaar will be held by the Parish Guild of St. John’s Episcopal church on Thursday, December 6th, afternoon and evening. Many Christ- mas gifts and a delicatessen table will be among other attractive fea- tures. Mrs. Andrew J. Cook will give a dinner today, at which the guest of honor will be Mr. Cook’s sister, Miss Mary Cook, who is celebrating her eightieth birthday. The guests will be all Miss Cook’s girl friends in Bellefonte. Among eight Wheeling, W. Va. boy scouts who have been awarded medals by the U. S. Treasury Depart- ment for selling ten or more Liberty Bonds is Louis Tibbens, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ulmer Tibbens, for- merly of Bellefonte. A surprise party originating in the Lodge of “The Rebekahs” and including the women of “The Tem- ple,” was given Mrs. Nevin Cole Tues- day evening. The guests presented Mrs. Cole, a recent bride, with a handsome extension table. “Labaram,” the pure bred Percheron stallion purchased by the Pennsvalley Horse company last Ju- ly, for the sum of $4,500, died of gas- tritis last Thursday morning at the farm of Ralph Shook, near Penn Hall. The horse was insured for $1,000. Harold Lingle, who has made his home in DuBois since leaving Bellefonte, and of late has been book- keeper at the DuBois brewery has re- signed that position and gone to New York where he has accepted a posi- tion. He will move his family there in the near future. ——DMiss Jane Crowley, of Lock Haven, who was recently appointed by the State Department of Health as dispensary nurse at Tyrone and Altoona, has resigned the position as it interfered too much with her home work, and will devote her entire time to her office work in Lock Haven. ——Two weeks ago the members of the Red Cross Auxiliary of Milesburg held a tag day in oder to secure funds to carry on the local work and they were unusually sucessful, as they se- cured just $115.00. With this amount added to their fund they will be able to continue their work with greater vigor than before. The big drive made in Belle- fonte on Wednesday for the Liberty Bonds was undoubtedly a success. A house to house canvas was made on every street in the town, and every team sold bonds. Up to the time the “Watchman” went to press it was im- possible to give figures but the total is well up in the thousands. ——The October meeting of the Woman’s club will be held in the High school building, Monday even- ing, October 29th, at 7:30 o’clock. A full report of the state conference at Erie will be given by the delegates in addition to the transacting of some important business, in which all members should be interested. ——The Panthers, Bellefonte’s fa- mous deer hunting aggregation, are now planning for a hunt this fall after a year’s lay-off. The club will prob- ably be entirely reorganized as some of the original Panthers are getting too old to follow the trail successful- ly and it is just possible that a few cub Panthers will be taken in to fill up the ranks. ——Three United States govern- ment internal revenue inspectors were in Bellefonte this week visiting the various hotels and checking up the amount of liquors they have on hand which is liable for the increas- ed tax. This tax must be paid by November 3rd, or a bond given for the payment of same at any date within seven months. It is estimated that in Bellefonte alone this addition- al tax will aggregate five thousand dollars or over. How Bellefonte Soldiers Are Training in Camp.’ { Troop L Now Guarding Arsenal, and Having a Good Social time— Perhaps. (By Corp. Henry Keller.) i Hdqrs. Troop L, 1st Pa. Cav. | Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga. October 19th, 1917. Editor “Democratic Watchman:” | Tonight finds “L” Troop ready to depart for a week's trip to the arsen- al. Great excitement reigns through- out our camp for many interesting events will befall us ere we return. In the first place the arsenal is locat- ed on Walton Way, a most beautiful section of Summerville, and along the street car line that takes us into Au- gusta proper. Partridge Inn, a very beautiful hotel, is within a stone’s throw and nearby is the Country club. Here two eighteen hole golf courses hold sway, neither course interescting the other. So one can readily see that we are located in one of the finest sec- tions of Augusta, and we all rely up- on Trooper Breon’s versatility to gather together many pretty social . affairs for our entertainment, and | many of the boys are now planning how they like spring chicken fried, and whether they will take “yams” or just plain “spuds.” Of course, after the important question of social entertainment has been settled the next important thing is the guarding of the arsenal. We have been on regimental c~uiard at Camp Hancock ever since \.2 arriv- ed, but we never carried ammunition of any kind. This new guard will be real, as each man who goes on as sen- try will be issued ball cartridges and will be instructed to use them. Each guard is on duty four hours, then off eight, on four, etc., until he has put in the twenty-four hours. We men not on guard will drill as usual, police the camp and attend to all fatigue duties, and when we have any time off, spend it in town, I suppose. The men are already discussing their relative merits as marksmen, and especially in Corp. Howard’s tent was the discussion very noticeable, the chief contenders being Troopers Haag and Steele. Brickbats and bou- quets flew back and forth, though most of the compliments were self- awarded, Trooper Steele finally end- ing the discussion very abruptly. “Haag,” he declared, “when you do any shooting I want you to aim at me. That is the only place that I will be sure of being safe.” Kid Haag was much put out, as Trooper Steele like- wise remarked, as they started to move Haag to the cook tent. Our drill work has become more in- teresting than ever. On our practice marches we put into practice the things we learn in lecture. The plac- ing of out-posts, the sending out of patrols, reconnoisance work and all such work that cavalry are supposed to. excel in. Trooper Daley caused much excitement when he was on a reconnoitering patrol. He vowed that he had covered at least twelve miles and he surely looked fagged out. But upon investigation we found he had worn quite a path around two trees in the woods in which he was located. He would not believe that he had been doing all his traveling on a quarter- mile circle, but we must have rescued him on the 16th lap or thereabouts. The officers in charge are now care- ful that no one strays from the main party any more. Sunday afternoon L Troop defeated the H Troop team 12-5 and this won the championship of the 1st Cav. Reg- iment. Much credit is due Trooper Deitrich, as his pitching throughout the entire series was superb, and also to manager Rhinesmith for so ably taking care of the team. They had an ice cream feed, but most of the honor, we all feel, is belonging to “Essick” Kline, the leader of the team. His keen judgment did much toward winning the championship. We feel very proud of the team and are proud to say that as yet we have not lost a game. Trooper Howard appeared on the company street the other day with a pencil in his hand that was over a foot long and at least an inch thick. He declared that he was going to “mark time” for Sergt. Winehouse with it, and when the mob had quieted down it was said that “Duke” would recov- er. In equitation practice we have had some unusually interesting work. Just now we are mounting and dis- mounting the horse while on the gal- lop, with the emphasis on the dis- mounting. Our star performers are Corps. Alexander and Robison, yet many claim that Trooper Musser is very good at the dismount. Sergt. Decker is spending much of his time with the bayonet exercises and he seems to be enjoying it. He will soon be ready to practice upon us and we are all quite anxious to get that work. Supply Sergt. Stewart issued a new allotment of clothing the other day. This makes the third issue we have received and as yet we are not equip- ped. But we are much better off now in regard to clothing than we have ever been and in time I feel that each man will have his full share of cloth- ing. Quite a number of conscripts from Camp Meade have arrived this week and are being used to fill up the va- cancies in the various regiments. Quite a reorganization has taken place here, several regiments having been broken up, and in the cavalry the Machine’ Gun Troop has been moved. They left Wednesday and we were sorry to see them go. But it is understood that Sergts. Cruse and Imboden are to be made 2nd Lieuten- ‘sending | Bellefonte. tants. Ican only say that they surely have earned it and all of L Troop! join me in offering congratulations. We surely appreciate all letters and | parcels and all the boys join me in, back to dear old’ regards Corporal Luther Crissman under- went an operation for appendicitis in an Augusta hospital last Thursday and has since been recovering nicely. G. Max Gamble is still somewhat under the weather but his condition is not considered at all serious. Nine Men Waive Exemption Out of 48 Exam.ned. The local exemption board examin- ed forty-eight men last Friday and out of that number nine passed and waived exemption, twenty-two others passed and claimed exemption on ac- count of dependents and seventeen were discharged on account of phys- ical disability. Four men summoned to appear failed to show up, namely: Isaac J. Hughes, Philipsburg. Frank Fetterhclf, Centre Hall. Cameron Burnside Holter, Howard. Samuel F. R. Baney, S. Philipsburg. But of the above four one has al- ready enlisted, another was examined at another place, one is in the Dan- ville hospital, and the other man is in such bad health he couldn’t appear. The list of men examined is as fol- lows: PASSED AND WAIVED EXEMPTION. Charles Herbert Haugh, Benore. John Henry Chesman, Clarence. James Andrew Hoover, Julian. Alexander Burton Graham, Sandy Ridge. Earl Lindsay Moflit, State College. Diado Palumbo, Orviston. Robert Lannon, Fleming. Raymond Miles Fetzer. Milesburg. Earl Goss Emenhizer, Runnville. PASSED AND CLAIMED EXEMPTION.

D. cow More National Army Men to be Sent Soon. : The local exemption board last week received notice that all colored registrants who had passed a success- ful examination were to be sent to Camp Meade early next week, and that an additional thirty per cent. of the county’s quota was to be sent the week beginning November 2nd. Up to the time the “Watchman” went to press the exact day on which the men are to be sent had not been giv- en, neither had the list of those to be sent been made up. ——Street gossip has it that a young up-town business man when he heard that letter postage would ad- vance to three cents an ounce or frac- tion thereof on November 2nd, went to the postoffice and invested in $200 worth of two-cent stamps, remarking as he did so, that he was “going to lay in a supply while they were cheap.” a ——- The high prices and war taxes have put a number of moving picture companies and moving picture houses out of business, but the Scenic in Bellefonte is still open as usual and will continue to show the very best pictures obtainable aslong as its pat- ronage warrants it. Manager Brown is desirous of giving the people of Bellefonte and community a picture show worth seeing, even though the pictures cost more than formerly. — ove ——Thomas J. Kennedy, a flagman on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad, was jolted from the cabin of his train at Snow Shoe Intersection on Satur- day evening, when the train was started suddenly, and falling heavily on the ends of the ties sustained two fractured ribs and bruises about the head and hip. He was able to be tak- en to Tyrone on his train and remov- ed to his home, but his injuries will keep him off duty for some time. soe — ——Dayvis Blair Mingle Jr., of Ty- rone, a member of the Junior class of The Pennsylvania State College, has been elected president of the athlet- ic association at Penn State. He suc- ceeds Joseph H. Wilson, of Indiana, who withdrew from college to serve with the colors as a lieutenant in the army. Mingle has been a regular on the Blue and White base ball nine for two years, playing second base in most of the important ’Varsity base ball games. He is enrolled in the de- partment of industrial engineering. ——Next Wednesday night will be Hallowe’en when the ghosts walk and the goblins are around. But neither the ghosts nor the goblins will do harm to anybody or any property and the young people of Bellefonte when they go out to celebrate the event next Wednesday evening should con- duct themselves likewise. Have all the innocent fun you can have, but do not do harm to any person or dam- age to property. Do not waste the corn by throwing it around promis- cuously and throw nothing against buildings that will damage or deface the property. CAMP LIFE IN THE SOUTH. Another Very Interesting Letter from a Centre County Soldier Boy. Camp Hancock, Augusta Ga. October 18th, 1917. Editor “Democratic Watchman:” I now have the opportunity to , write this somewhat delayed letter, which I had fully intended writing upon my arrival in camp. The delay has been beneficial, however, and ‘after having one month’s experience | of military training and camp life, it is less difficult to give the people of { Centre county a more thorough de- | scription of same. i! We arrived at Camp Hancock on { the morning of September 12th, after | having had an interesting and pictur- | esque journey through Virginia, | North Carolina and South Carolina. The attractiveness of the many cot- ton fields we passed through in the southern part of South Carolina was ! especially interesting to we boys who {had never seen cotton as it actually grows before it is made ready for the market. Our regimental camp is situated amid the pine forests and cotton fields | of Georgia. We have had the pleasure of con- versing with several extensive cotton growers, who explained the one meth- od so necessary to secure a bountiful harvest and I believe we boys could successfully raise a crop of cotton. Augusta, our nearest city, is sepa- rated from the State of South Caro- lina by the Savannah river. The boundary line passes directly through the center of the river. Camp is located just six miles from the centre of the city. The traction company have extended their lines to the edge of the camp, but it is very inconvenient and very tiresome to at- tempt to reach Augusta via trolley. The camp proper, in area, covers about 2800 acres and there are about 35,000 Pennsylvania boys stationed here. The climate is ideal. During the day it is moderately warm and the nights cool, thus making it pleas- ant to sleep. All lights must be extinguished in the tents by 9:15 p. m. This does not mean we must retire but everyone is allowed to remain awake until 10:30 p. m., providing quietness prevails. The soil is of a sandy nature, in fact all sand, which appears to be very fertile, as the few products grown here thrive wonderfully. Everything governing the health of the camp in general has been provid- ed for and we have one of the most modern and sanitary camps in the country. “Mess” or dining halls are modern structures conveniently ar- ranged. Our Company (Hdqrs) is composed of 58 men, and we have a set of dish- es which is an unusually large one. The tables are set ready for serving at all times. Each man is assigned to a regular place at the table, thus made as home-like as possible under the conditions. The food is well cooked and plenty of it. Each day is full of work and drills. Drill occupies six to eight hours of the time each day, of course this in- cludes all the many different forms { Which are essential in the making of i a good soldier. The setting-up exercises, common- ly called calisthenics, have captured the camp, and the soldier who fails to take this exercise is much behind the times. . The National War Work Council have established a Field Y. M. C. A. throughout the camp. open at all times for the accommoda- tion of the boys. Equipment consists of musical instruments such as piano, victrola, etc., all the most popular periodicals, magazines and daily pa- pers, also a library consisting of in- structive and interesting books. We, the - band, must parade each morning at 5:45, except Sunday, when we are called at 6:45. Our line of march is the entire length of the regiment. We are the “alarm clock” of the regiment; our music awaken- ing the men means they are to arise and “fall into line” for roll call at 6:15 a. m. The life of a soldier is entirely dif- ferent from that of a civilian, partic- ularly the strict discipline one is under; but we are all well and per- | fectly happy, also satisfied that this life is well worth living, since such an important work is ahead of us all —we, the army. ; Much more could be written, which, no doubt, the people of the county would be interested in, but for fear I bore them with so much, I will with- hold the balance until later. Sincerely yours, PAUL B. FARBER, 8th Regimental Band. P. O. S. of A. Anniversary Session. Washington Camp, No. 887, P. O. S. of A., of Bellefonte, will celebrate their first anniversary at a special session Friday evening of this week, October 26th, in Gregg Post rooms, when all members of the Camp are cordially invited and urged to be present. At the conclusion of the bus- iness session refreshments will be served and addresses relative to the principles and policy of the Order will be made by prominent speakers. State Organizer Yiesley is expected to be present. Must Advance Milk Prices. In order to meet advanced prices offered local producers by the conden- saries, the Bellefonte dairymen will be forced to advance the prices to the consumers. Beginning November 1st, therefore, milk will be 10 cents per quart and cream 32 cents. 42-1t ——M. Frank Hezel is confined to his home in Bush’s Addition with a well-defined case of diphtheria.

M. Nichols, of Syra- cuse, N. Y., were Sunday night visitors in Bellefonte, having motored here from their home in the Empire State. Mr. Nichols will be remembered by Bellefonte people as the gentleman who got out the very neat souvenir book of the Odd Fellows’ celebration when it was held in Bellefonte in April, 1916.

T. Hennig stopped in for a few minutes’ chat and in course of conversation stated that the new mill of the Nickel-Alloy company at that place covers three acres of ground, and that almost every department is busy as can be. When one stops to consider that Dr. Hennig originally wanted to lo- cate the plant at Bellefonte, which would have brought workmen here instead of taking Bellefonters away, as it has already done, it doesn’t take a very long-headed man to see what this town and communi- ty missed. —Agreeable to an oft-repeated promise landlord Henry Kline last week took Louis Doll Sr., and Abe Baum on a motor trip to York and Gettysburg. The three men, accompanied by Hon. John Noll, left here in Mr. Kline's car on Wednesday morning and going by way of the Juniata valley landed in York that evening. The night and Thursday morning was spent there, giving Mr. Doll time to call on his various relatives.

From there they went to Gettysburg and took a general view of the battlefield then motor- ed to Harrisburg for the.night, returning home on Friday. —After spending six weeks visiting friends in Centre county and throughout the central part of the State Mr. William H. Fishburn left for his home in Alda, Neb., on Tuesday. Before going he came into this office and ordered the “Watch- man” sent to him regularly in his western home. Mr. Fishburn, of course, was born and raised in Centre county and the only other member of the family yet living is his sister, Mrs. Hezekiah Hoy. It is thir- ty-five years since he went west but he has been back a number of times visiting the scenes of his childhood, although nine years intervened between the last and this trip. Mr. Fishburn is now about seventy- seven years old but does not look it by a dozen years or more and if he continues in such excellent health as he now enjoys he feels that he will be able to make one more trip to old Pennsylvania. —Mrs. H.

Although little is known of the woman’s history she came to Bellefonte probably a quarter of a century ago and living alone supported herself by weaving baskets from willow reeds she gathered and cured herself, and by gathering herbs. Day in and day out she plodded her lonely way and few there are in Bellefonte who did not know her. Having reached that age when she needs the care of some one a well known citizen of Bellefonte gave her money to go to the home of her son. Cheating Cheaters. “Cheating Cheaters,” which A. H. Woods will present at Garman’s Monday evening, October 29th, is one of last season’s conspicuous metropol- itan “hits.” It is estimated that more than 300,000 people saw the play dur- ing its run in New York. The New York Sun said of it that “nothing quite like it has ever been seen on the New York stage.” Certainly no more ingenious and surprising combination of farce and melodrama has been seen on the American stage in many sea- sons—not since “Seven Keys to Bald- pate,” according to the New York Times. Of all forms of drama the farce melodrama is the rarest and most interesting when successful, and in “Cheating Cheaters,” Max Marcin has achieved a success vouchsafed to few playwrights. —“Send him a photograph” — Mallory Studio. 39-tf —1If you want to keep warm this winter buy a Pipeless Caloric Fur- nace.—Potter—Hoy Hardware Co. 42-1t Mrs. M.
