The Bellefonte steam laundry has a new delivery car; or to be more exact, a new top on the old car. Now all it needs is an application of paint en the chassis to make it look the real thing. — The clock on the court house stopped on Sunday night at ten min- utes after two o’clock, but there was nothing materially wrong with it, and it was promptly put to work again on Monday morning. From the jitney dance in the armory, given in connection with the cafeteria at Mrs. Sparks, Friday of last week, two hundred and fifty dollars was realized by the Red Cross of State College. The sale to be held by the La- dies Aid society of the Methodist church, in the vacant room in the Bush Arcade, will consist of food of various kinds, aprons, etc. The date will be Saturday, November 24. — While out hunting rabbits last Thursday morning Charles Anderson got in range of another hunter’s gun and received one shot in his right arm and one in each leg, all of them em- bedded an inch or more deep in the muscles. : : ——William F. Shope has accepted the position of local editor at the Cen- tre Democrat and went to work on Monday. Mr. Shope at one time worked on the old Daily News, so that the newspaper business is not en- tirely new to him. The Methodist congregation of Milesburg are having the heating plant in their church thoroughly over- hauled and put in condition to keep them warm and comfortable during the winter. Archibald Allison, of Bellefonte, has the contract. ——The additional cent or two war tax impcsed on amusement tickets should not keep any person away from the Scenic when they can feel assured of getting full value in the kind of pictures shown. The man- ager of the Scenic is not responsible for the war tax but he is going to see that patrons get their money’s worth by giving them the best pictures ob- tainable. To Mrs. Thomas King Morris, of Pittsburgh, organizing chairman of the Second Liberty Loan, is due much of the credit for the wonderful success of the big drive made by the women of Allegheny county during the months of September and Octo- ber. - Organized in 92 districts, with 600 captains and an enrolled working force of 5000, Allegheny county wom- en with their return of $14,000,000, retain their place with the leading women workers of America. The Panther hunting club has decided to change its hunting location this year from the Allegheny moun- tains to a camp at the entrance to the Bear Meadows, in the Seven moun- tains. The place they have selected is easy of access and can be reached by dutomohile in two hours easily. This will enable the members of the _ club to go back and forth, spending the time they can spare in camp and being at home when necessary. Their camp equipment can also be taken out on a motor truck. Rev. George F. Prentice. who has been pastor of the Baptist churches at Milesburg and Blanchard the past two. years, has resigned his charge and preached his farewell ser- mons. Rev. Prentice is a Scotchman by birth, came to the United States five years ago and has since besa nat- vralized. He has two brothers a brother-in-law fighting with the English army in France and he feels so strongly the righteousness of the eause of the allies that he has ten- dered his services as a chaplain in the United States army, eager to do his bit for the land of his adoption unde the Stars and Stripes. : When Troop L was broken up Sergt. W. Frederick Reynolds was as- signed to the City Troop of Phildadel- phia, but within a day or so after that transfer he received notice that he had successfully passed an examina- tion he and three other members of the Troop had taken and that an of- ficer’s commission would be his award. Of course he has not received it yet and has no idea as to what branch of the service he will be assigned when | he gets it. It is certainly an encour- aging feature of our army organiza- tion that boys with the ability and determination have a chance to show it, for Frederick enlisted in Troop L as a private. Prior to the war revenue bill going into effect the public in general looked upon war taxes in a rather abstract way, something that had to be endured put which would probably hit the other fellow the hardest. But the “other fellow” is just as likely to be yourself, as not. As one instance of what the war tax means to the traveling public: Last Thursday, the day the law went into effect the war tax taken in at the P. R. R. passenger depot in Bellefonte amounted to over fifty dollars. Of course some of this amount was paid on mileage books, but the war tax collected on Friday was between thirty and thirty-five dollars. - Taking the latter amount as the per diem ratio it is quite easy to calculate the amount of war tax that will be collected in Bellefonte through just this one medium in a year. and : land left Bellefonte about the middle we leave it to you, dear reader, if this (of April, are on the battleship Minne- | isn’t a record to be proud of?

Battery D, 107 Field Artillery, Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga. November 3rd, 1917. Editor “Democratic Watchman:” When I start my letter tonight I realize that it will be my last letter | relating the experiences of Troop L. I also realize that in all likelihood it will probably be my last letter for good, for the troop has been so badly split to pieces that I can never find out what the different boys are doing. Of course, should some unusual event happen that might interest the people of Bellefonte I shall write it and send it once again to the “Watchman.” Last Saturday we left the arsenal with the knowledge that we had spent our last week as a cavalry organiza- tion. it would come very soon, so as we en- tered Camp Hancock we were a ter- wonderful week at the arsenal. We had no real idea when we | transferred from should be broken up, but we knew that will be transferred today from the At- lantic hospital to the base hospital at !

Taylor came home Wednesday on a fifteen day’s fur- lough and is looking good. He has been transferred to the 110th infan- try under Col. Kemp, of Philadelphia, and although he has been properly taken care of he feels very keenly the breaking up of the cavalry and being his home boys.

C. other than in the line of duty. Our next few days were indeed rest- less days for us. No one knew quite what to expect. No one knew just where he might be sent, and although | our own work went on the :ame as ever, it was performed in a n:ost half- hearted manner. All manner of rumors reached us as to where we might go, but we never felt once that the old troop would be kept intact. And even though we were expecting to be brok- en up, none of us knew just how we would feel when it came. On Thurs- day we found out that we would leave the following day for our new quar- ters. Squad mount that night was the saddest view I have ever witnessed, and when our band played “Auld Lang Syne” at inspection there were few dry eyes among the spectators. Friday morning we all fell in for assembly, our last formation as Troop L. After breakfast we received our assignments. Several of us were sent to brigade headquarters of the artil- lery, several to the engineers, some to the -108th artillery and a few includ- ing myself, to the 107th field artillery. All morning we could see F. W. D. trucks and wagons moving out other troops. We never knew just how ter- ribly the breaking up of the regiment would make us feel, but when one of the wagons stopped at Troop L, then we knew that we were to go—and many hearts surely were heavily weighed down. I certainly felt glad that I was to go on the first load, for then I did not have to see any of the others leave. It was terrible to have the regiment and the troop broken up, but the worst blow to us was losing our offi- cers. No one will ever fill the place Captain Curtin held in our hearts, nor will we ever find lieutenants like “Dick” Taylor and Lieut. Smith; and I can say that our one hope is that some day in the future we may answer the roll on Troop L, with our officers, our own officers, once more in command. : I can write no more. I hope the people at home will think of us even though we are no longer a Bellefonte unit, and hope that all is well at home. io dtd Bellefonte Soldiers and Sailors at Home and Abroad. ; A.

Dr. J. L. Seibert is seriously ill at his home on Allegheny street. his condition was slightly improved; it is yet such as to give his friends much concern as to his recovery. ° ae On Thursday of last week a party of Altoona people which includ- ed Mrs. G. H. Miller, Mrs. E. K. Barnes and son Donald, Mrs. T. L. Calhoun, R. J. Matthews, R. M. Cra- mer, daughter Louise and son Robert; J. L. Campbell and son Norman, and G. A. Hahn journeyed to Unionville by train and spent the day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kerch- ner. In addition to the Altoona crowd there were also present Mrs. Dora Fisher, Mrs. Howard Peters, Mrs. Callie Calhoun and Howard Fish- er. A big chicken and waffle dinner was the feature of the gathering. ——————— Two aged natives of the Em- erald Isle who were said to hail from Juniata spent a few hours in Belle- fonte on Monday and proved quite en- tertaining to the boys and others who happened to hear them. Both of the men, who were named Sam and Joe, had sampled enough of the wet goods in Bellefonte to make them jovial and talkative. Naturally their conversa- tion was mostly on war, past and present. They recounted to each oth- er the battles they had fought in dur- ing the war of the rebellion’ and the marvelous acts of heroism each had performed and then discussed how the present war with Germany ought to be conducted, both of them finally ! declaring that if Germany wasn’t soon licked they would both enlist and do it themselves. Arm in arm the two aged Irishmen marched to the de- pet and boarded the 4:45 train west. ——Patrons of the Bellefonte Fuel & Supply company have become so used to seeing George H. Waite around the office and coal yard that they just took him as a matter of course and think nothing else about But if any of them were to stop have been seeing Mr. Waite go about his work, day in and day out, we’ll wager a good cigar that not one of and Mrs. A.

Troop L, came home from Camp Han- cock last Friday on account of the se- | rious illness of his mother, Mrs. W. | L. Steele, and will remain until next | Tuesday. When he left the camp the | assignments of the members of Troop | L had not been made so he will not know where he will land until he re- | turns to Camp Hancock. i Miss Bertha Laurie, who left Belle- | fonte last Wednesday to engage in Y. M. C. A. refreshment room service | abroad, sailed from New York on Saturday for a port somewhere in | France. Reynolds Taylor, son of Mr. and | Mrs. W. H. Taylor, who enlisted in | the electrical engineering corps at | Camp Dix, Akron, Ohio, probably sail- ed for France either the latter part of last week or beginning of this, ac- cording to a card received by his par- ents. Robert Taylor and Allen Cruse, two of the High school boys who en- listed in the navy, are now on the Steamship Hubbard and have already made two trips to the Azores and on Wednesday Mrs. Cruse received a ca- blegram from Allen saying that he was at Brest, France, and that he was now third gunner’s mate on the Hub- bard. Luther Crissman, a corporal in old Troop L, who several weeks ago un- derwent an operation for appendicitis in an Augusta hospital, is expected home soon on a sixty day's furlough, in order to recuperate. Mr. Crissman received a telegram from his son Frank yesterday saying that Luther But the fact is that if Mr. Waite lives until next Thursday, November 15th, he will have been with the above com- pany just twenty-nine years and in all that time he never took a holiday nor missed one day by illness. Now his daily work with an eye always on his employer’s interests, and to this end is always courteous and gentle- manly toward every person with whom he comes in contact. ——The younger set who gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Miles. Walker, on Hallowe’en evening as guests of their daughter, Miss Edrie ! Walker, were minus some of the re- freshments prepared for their delec- tation when it came time to serve them. During the early part of the evening quite a number of school | children called at the Walker home and had been treated to doughnuts and candy. The Walker table in the dining room was all set and ready and loaded with such appropriate Hallowe’en delicacies as pumpkin pie, doughnuts, cider, apples, candy, fruits and nuts, and the young people | being a little suspicious of some boys the ex-sheriff volunteered to watch the table.. So turning the lights out in the dining room, he turned them on in the kitchen and seated himself very comfortably where he could see about two-thirds of the table, reading a paper while he kept watch. About eleven o’clock, when it came time to serve the refreshments, the lights were turned on in the dining room, and at once there was a gasp of dis- may. About half the table had been literally cleaned of everything on it, including the cider, pumpkin pie, can- dy and apples, as well as some of the doughnuts. An open window leading from the side porch told the story. Mr. Walker has his suspicions as to who committed the theft but how they were able to do it and he not hear or see them is the mysterious part of the affair.

The route of parade was south on Allegheny to Bishop street, Bishop to Spring, Spring to High, down High to the railroad and countermarch, thence up High to the speaker’s stand in the Diamond. At the meeting that fol- lowed Burgess Edmund Blanchard presided and brief addresses were made by Col. H. S. Taylor, Rev. M. DePue Maynard and Samuel B. Mil- ler. At the conclusion of the meeting a luncheon was served the men at the Bush house. All the men spent Sunday in Belle- fonte and with the exception of an hour’s drill in the afternoon put in the day as they saw fit. Friends of most of them came to Bellefonte and spent a part of the day with them. On Monday morning the men gath- ered in the Diamond at 5:30 o’clock and marched down town to the front of the Bush house where a roll call was made and the men checked up. Every man who reported Saturday was present and in addition Russell Max Evey, of Akron, Ohio, but for- merly of State College. Sheriff Yar- nell told the men that in accordance with the requirements of the law he had appointed James E. Gehret, of Bellefonte, as captain of ‘the squad; John Arthur Waite, of Bellefonte, as first lieutenant, and Roland Allen Bryan, of Milesburg, as second lieu- tenant to see that they were deliver- ed safely at Camp Meade. And it was also the duty of these men to look after their personal needs and wel- | fare on the trip down. The sheriff then stated that inas- much as the contingent to be sent was limited to thirty-five two of the num- ber would have to await the next call, {and the two selected were Alvin A. i Bohn, of Oak Hall, and John: H. Ste- | venson, of Waddle. About fifty peo- i ple were present to see the boys off and the few minutes intervening un- til train time was used up in a gener- al good-bye to everybody. When the train backed up the boys boarded the rear car and as the train pulled out from the station the boys themselves did most of the cheering, and thus another delegation of Cen- tre county’s young men went forth to they know not what. lr nn State College Students Husking Corn. Not being able to secure the neces- sary help to husk the large crop of corn raised on the experimental farms at State College superintend- ent C. L. Goodling on Monday called for volunteers among the students, and the college faculty agreed to give all those who would respond Tuesday off from their studies if they would try their hands at corn husk- ing. The result was that over one hun- dred Seniors and Juniors responded and a regular corn husking fest was 1held at the college that day. The corn, cut off in the field, was hauled to the stock judging pavilion and it was there the young men did the husking. In order to give them a i good dinner one of the prize young | steers of the college pens was killed to supply the roast beef, steak, etc. The day was a regular lark for the students, who vied with one another on their ability as corn huskers, but it resulted in the skinning of many “nubbins” for Superintendent Good- ling. | Work at The Elks Service Flag. The Bellefonte Lodge of Elks have hung out a service flag with ten stars, denoting the number of members of the Lodge who have enlisted for serv- ice in the war. The Presbyterian and Reformed churches recently put up charts with the names of the mem- bers from those congregations who have enlisted for service and the sug- gestion has been made by a reader of the “Watchman” that a service flag should be flung to the breeze at every home in Bellefonte from which a member has gone forth to give his services to his country.

George Tibbens Had a Narrow Escape Early yesterday morning, in fact before five o’clock, George Tibbens, driving the Atlantic Refining compa- ny’s motor tank, started with a load of oil for Unionville. Not expecting trains to be running around promis- cuously at that time of day he failed to notice a freight that had shifted in on the Bellefonte branch and was backing out to the Milesburg station and the result was he drove right in- to the train on the railroad crossing. The front of his car was badly jam- med by the impact and every car that came along gave it another whack. But that was not the worst part of it. The big oil tank was shoved forward on the chassis and pinned Mr. Tibbens so tight against the steering wheel that he had to wrench the wheel loose before he could get out. Fortunately he was not hurt at all, but the car is sadly in need of repair. — oe “There She Goes.” Mr. Harvey D.
