THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY — Turkeys sold in Bellefonte last Saturday at 25 cents the pound, live weight, W. G. Emerick, of the Emerick motor bus line, gave each one of his drivers a turkey for Thanksgiving. Two inches of snow fell in the mountains on Saturday night and deer hunters are just hoping for a like fall tonight. ——A car load of colored prisoners passed through Bellefonte on Tues- day on their way from Pittsburgh to the Rockview institution. — Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Garman will close their house on High street and occupy a part of Mrs. H. W. Tate’s apartments in Petrikin hall, for the winter. The Aid society of the Presby- terian church will hold an apron and food sale in the Presbyterian chapel on Thursday, December 13th. Open at 2 p. m. The police on Tuesday night again raided the house of Mrs. Min- nie Auman, of Pike alley, and cayght that woman and two young men in their net, landing them in jail. D. Wagner Geiss was taken to the Bellefonte hospital on Monday evening suffering with an attack of typhoid fever. His condition at pres- ent, however, is not considered seri- ous. ———Constable Howard Smead, of the North ward, will go to work for the Titan Metal company next Mon- day as driver of one of their new two and a half ton International motor trucks. Twenty-nine liquor license ap- plications have been filed this year as against thirty-six last year. Of this number twenty-two are for retail li- eenses, six wholesale and one brew- er’s license. Lieut. Vincent Nicholas Tay- lor, son of Col. H. S. Taylor, of this place, has been transferred from Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C., where he is now with the 38th infantry. -——Last week Bellefonte had a su- gar famine and this week it is prac- tically a coal famine as the only hard eoal to be had in the town so far dur- ing the week is egg coal, and it has been limited in quantity. The Ladies Guild of St. John’s Episcopal church will have a sale in the parish house on December 6th, 1917. You will find articles suitable for Christmas gifts, also cakes, pies, Miss Pauline Johnston, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Kennedy Johnston, has been ill for a week with diphtheria. Although some alarm had been felt concerning Miss John- ston’s condition, she is now steadily improving. On the second page of this is- sue of the “Watchman” will be found a most interesting article written by Mrs. J. Harvey Hile, of Boston, on “One Mother's Viewpoint.” Mothers reading this article will readily be convinced as to their duty to their eountry in its present crisis. The annual memorial services of the Bellefonte Lodge of Elks will be held on Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. The address will he deliver- ed by Rev. M. DePue Maynard, of the Episcopal church. Since the Lodge was instituted there have been sixteen deaths in its roll of member- ship. Prior to leaving for their hunt- ing camp in the Bear Meadows the Modoc hunting club of Boalsburg en- tertained their friends at a Thanks- giving feast on Wednesday evening. About seventy people were present and helped dispose of the four big turkeys they had and the big stock of ice cream. ——Last week the “Watchman” told of Col. Emanuel Noll's birthday party and stated that he had been with the railroad company going on thirty-seven years, and it will proba- bly be news to most of our readers to learn that Joseph W. Undercoffer has been there equally as long, as he and Mr. Noll went there at the same time. Miss Jane Hafer; who has been in France as a Red Cross nurse since early last spring, has broken down in health and is on her way back to the United States. While ker friends will regret to learn of her poor health she will have the consolation of having done her bit in the great struggle for a world democracy. ——aBill Doak, the blind man, has not yet gotten that overcoat that he sent out an appeal for several weeks ago, but he did get a nice, warm neck muffler from Clarence Rhoads, as a present, for which he is heartily thankful. Bill’s appeal for an over- coat is still open and he hopes it will be heeded by some generous hearted individual. The “Watchman” a few weeks ago told of the City bakery’s business increasing to such an extent that the proprietor was compelled to add a battery of new ovens. And now he has been compelled to invest in 3 new | one ton auto truck in order to handle ‘his output. The City bakery is .put- ting out an unusually good quality of bread and there is no reason why they should not have all the custom in Bellefonte and Centre county. How Bellefonte Soldiers Are Training in Camp. Boys of Troop L in Good Health, Drilling Hard and Paying No Attention to Rumors. (By Corp. Henry Keller.) Troop L, 101st U. S. Cav., Fort Hancock, Augusta, Ga. November 23rd, 1917. Editor “Democratic Watchman:” The troop has once more taken up active drilling and from all appear- ances we surely did not suffer from our ten days’ dispersal. The - boys were so glad to be cavalrymen once more that they now drill as though they had never missed any time and, in fact, the drilling now is even better than before the grand “smash up.” The boys, especitlly those who had been with the engineers, are so glad to be again under our old officers that Sergeant Schreffler scarcely needs blow his whistle before the entire troop is formed. Many of the boys have been grant- ed furloughs and although some are now at home, several have already re- turned. Troopers Tate, Steele and Deffley are among those who have re- turned and they reported that every- thing was well at home and from their experiences they must have enjoyed themselves immensely while visiting. We certainly were glad to welcome them back and, especially, since Trooper Steele has joined us again, the troop has shown more life 21d ac- tion during the hours of res’. We missed his witticisms very much but feel sure that he will continue to act as troop oracle now that he is back. At present Sergeant Reynolds has been unable to join us but is with headquarters troop—the First City troop of Philadelphia. His transfer so far has been held up but we all hope to see him back, heading the first platoon soon again. Sergeants Johnson and Stewart are now at home and Bugler Crissman ex- pects to leave shortly. We know that they will enjoy their visit and hope that they will find time to deliver all the messages they were given. Various rumors of all sorts contin- ue to circulate through camp but we have ceased to pay any attention to them. One day it may be that rumor has it that we leave for the “Edge” inside of twenty-four hours. Next we hear that the cavalry is to be brok- en up again. And so it goes, but we do not bother at all about it, but go on with our drills. These drills have be- come very interesting and in the last few days have taken the form of sham battles. In our own squadron the two sides consists of two troops each. One side being marked by white bands upon their hats. The sides are divided into patrols and are sent into the woods and each patrol is given a special duty to perform. It must perform this duty without being captured, and also, they may capture opposing patrols. Our boys took to the work like veterans. As we had most of Richmond county to work over many of the boys traveled quite a number of miles. Referees were present to decide all disputes, so that no bad feelings were allowed to arise. The boys crawled through swamps, ditches and underbrush, and today our boys came in with the record of hav- ing only one man captured. One pa- trol, in fact, passed within twenty- five feet of Lieut. Taylor without be- ing seen and many boys declare that he has eyes in the back of his head, especially when he drills us. The quartermaster department has given us some extremely necessary clothing, mostly overcoats, and now scarcely a boy in the troop is without one. As a rule, the weather has been wonderful here, quite warm and very little rain. The nights, though, have been a bit chilly, but of late we are beginning to realize that November is near a close. The last two days have been right cold and the new overcoats came in very handy. We received quite a large box of to- bacco, cigars and cigarettes, sent by George Carpeneto, and we surely wish to express our appreciation to those people at home who were so kind as to contribute to the box. It came just as our own tobacco had about given out, for although one’s pay is suppos- ed to last a month it never does and so, of course, we naturally are glad to get any necessities, such as tobacco. We all are looking forward to the Thanksgiving dinner. It will not be beans and canned beef, such as many people might suppose we get, but we will have a regular turkey dinner with all the trimmings. And when we get it we surely will try to live up to the Thanksgiving custom—to eat our fill and give thanks that our appetites are still with us. Troopers E. O. Keller and Charles Scott have been transferred to the ordnance department, and are both lo- cated now at the Augusta arsenal. We wish them luck in their new work and feel sure that they will both make good. Everybody is well and sends their best wishes home, and hoping that all is well at home. WILL THE CAVALRY BE DISMEM- BERED AGAIN. A report was received in Bellefonte on Monday that the 101st U. S. caval- ry at Camp Hancock, (formerly the First Pensylvania cavalry), was again to be dismembered notwithstanding the fact that it is only three weeks | since the organization was reassem- bled by order of the War Department ‘after having been dismembered and the men assigned to other units. The first supposedly authoritative day and night service. news of the order for dismemberment was published in Monday morning’s Pittsburgh papers, but since then | — there has been nothing heard here as to the facts in the matter. No word has come direct from any of the boys of Troop L regarding the order up to this writing so that it is not positive- ly known that it is correct. If such an order has been issued and not countermanded it is quite likely that definite news of same will be receiv- ed soon. But whether the cavalry is to be dismembered again or not, it need not deter anyone from sending Christmas boxes to the soldier boys. In fact a telegram was received by a member of the Woman’s club of Bellefonte on Wednesday morning from Capt. H. Laird Curtin stating that all boxes designed for the members of Troop L can be sent to him, and if any change takes place in the Troop he will per- sonally see that each man gets the box intended for him. ITEMS OF PERSONAL INTEREST. Capt. Theodore Davis Boal arrived at his home at Boalsburg on Tuesday on a brief furlough, having recently returned with Major General Charles M. Clement from a trip to France. Mrs. Frank McFarlane and Mrs. L. E. Kidder, of Boalsburg, will head the committee which will look after the Christmas boxes to be sent to tHe Machine Gun Troop at Camp Han- cock. Among the Bellefonte boys who are now home on a furlough is Francis Thomas, son of Supt. and Mrs. F. H. Thomas. He arrived in Bellefonte on Tuesday from the officers’ training camp at Fort Niagara. N. Y., where he won his commission as a second lieutenant in the regular army and will be assigned to the Third U. S. ar- tillery now stationed at Fort Meyer, Va., for which place he will leave on December 14th. Bugler Frank Crissman, of Troop L, arrived home from Camp Hancock on Tuesday on a brief furlough and reports the Troop all in good shape. Paul J. Seanor went down to Phila- delphia on Tuesday to take the exam- ination for the U. S. aviation service, and if he passes, intends to enlist. Word was received in Bellefonte this week that Ivan Walker and Earl Orr, who have been in training at Rockford, Ill.,, have been ordered for duty at the Watervliet arsenal, New York. Ivan is now a sergeant, hav- ing won his appointment quite re- cently. Sergt. Claude Johnson, who had an attack of malaria fever since coming home on a furlough, has recovered sufficiently to be around again. Lieut. Charles E. Garbrick, of the U. S. regular army, is home from Newport News on a ten days’ fur- lough which he is spending with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gar- brick. Centre Countians Get Commissions. At the officers’ training camp at Fort Niagara on Sunday the follow- ing commissions wete issued, all the men being assigned to Camp Lee, Virginia: First lieutenants, infantry: Wil- liam E. Gladstone Taylor, Bellefonte; William E. Lewis, State College. Captain, field artillery, Wilbur C. Gillespie, State College. First lieutenant, field artillery, LeRoy Metzger, State College. ——The Howard brick works were sold at sheriff’s sale last Saturday morning and were purchased by Har- ry T. Mann for $9,000. While assisting W. E. Bower, near Salona, haul in corn fodder on Tuesday afternoon Lewis C. Beatty fell from the top of the load to the ground and the wagon ran over his head, crushing in his skull and caus- ing instant death. Mrs. W. F. Carson’s Junior Red Cross organization is fast mak- ing a record for itself, through its work on snip pillows. Averaging an attendance of thirty-six, these chil- dren in six meetings have made fifty pillows. In relieving the Senior or- ganization of the tedious work the children’s “bit” is greatly appreciat- ed and mothers should see to it that they be present at every Thursday afternoon meeting. ——There is always a demand for “the best” in everything and that is the reason the Scenic is such a pop- ular motion picture show, because manager T. Clayton Brown makes it a point to always have the best pic- tures obtainable. This not only means that the subject matter is good and treated from an artistic standpoint, but that all the pictures are new and of quite recent release. If you are in- terested in motion pictures try the Scenic. ——On Sunday morning sheriff George H. Yarnell received a call to go to Zion as two tramps had taken possession of the flag station on the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania. Taking along: chief of police Duke- man the sheriff drove down and found the men comfortably domiciled. They had a good, hot fire in the stove and a supply of eatables to last several days. They were given the option of leaving the county or going te jail and. packing their belongings the Weary Willies left the comfort of the flag station and took to the highway. ——In Miss Cooney’s Thanksgiving reduction sale, all the early winter stock of the Hat Shop will be sold at a sacrifice, to make room for later models. 46-1t —“Send him a photograph”— Mallory Studio. 39-tf ——Enclosed cars, efficient drivers, Give us a Co. Call “Look: for 46-2t trial—White Line Taxi Bush house, either phone. the White Line.” on Mountain Near Runville Last Thursday Morning. John T. Gephart, formerly construc- tion engineer for the State Highway Department but now civil engineer of Fayette county, with headquarters at Uniontown, had a narrow escape from death last Thursday morning when a bullet from the gun of an unknown hunter ploughed a furrow on the back of his neck right at the base of the skull, cutting away the hair and skin, but fortunately not reaching the bone. Mr. Gephart, accompanied by his wife, came here from Uniontown last week for the express purpose of get- ting a wild turkey. He went down on the mountain near Hecla park on Wednesday and is credited with get- ting a turkey. On Thursday morning he went out in the neighborhood of Runville to hunt pheasants and other small game. He had not been there long when his dog raised a pheasant and he pulled up and shot at it. Al- most simultaneously there was anoth- er shot and a bullet struck Mr. Gep- hart on the back of the neck. He managed to get to Runville and word was telephoned to Bellefonte for a doctor, as it was not known how badly Mr. Gephart was hurt. Dr. Se- bring responded and an examination showed that the wound was not a very serious one by a fraction of an inch and Mr. Gephart was brought to Bellefonte and spent two days quiet- ly in his room at the Bush house, though by Saturday he was able to be around again. Who fired the gun that shot the bullet that hit Mr. Gephart is still a mystery. It is quite likely, however, that the man is entirely ignorant of how near he came to killing a man. He pobably was using one of the present day high-power rifles and may have been a half a mile away at the time he fired the shot with no thought of any person being within range of his gun. oo I Harry Keller Made Fuel Controller of Centre County. Harry Keller Esq., of Bellefonte, was last week appointed fuel control- ler for Centre county and it will be his duty to see that the coal allotted to Centre county, both anthracite and bituminous, is properly distributed to meet the wants of public utilities and for domestic purposes, and that there is no undue hoarding or piling up of a big reserve by any one. In this connection it might be said that within the past two weeks every user of coal in Centre county, outside of for domestic purposes only, as well as every coal dealer, received blanks to fill out showing approximately the number of tons of coal used last year and giving a probable estimate on the number of tons they will require the coming year, based upon the actual expansion of their business, if there has been any. These statements will be used as a basis for the amount of coal to be allotted to Centre county and it will be Mr. Keller's business rafter the allotment is made to see that a proper distribution takes place. The Panthers Off for Their Annual Hunt. - The Panther hunting club of Belle- fonte left on Saturday morning, bag and baggage, for their camp in Shin- gletown gap, right at the entrance to the Bear Meadows, where they will spend a week hunting small game and a week hunting deer. The -club’s camp equipment was hauled out by W. G. Emerick in his big motor truck and the members who went out on Saturday were Edmund Blanchard, James Clark and W. C. Cassidy, of this place; Thomas Moore, of Phila- delphia, and Charles Osmer, as cook. Other members of the club went out this week and inasmuch as it is only a two hours’ trip by automobile the members will go back and forth just as they have the time during the per- iod the camp is in the woods. Con- sidering the fact that the Panthers are located in a good deer and bear locality they anticipate coming home with the bacon. 5 toe rr Dealers Must Not Sell Sugar “In Combination.” Numerous complaints have been made to the food department of the Committee of Public Safety that re- tail dealers throughout the State have been selling sugar “in combina- tion,” that is refusing to give a cus- tomer sugar unless he purchased a dollar, or two dollar’s worth of other goods. The matter has been taken up with the food administration in Washington with the result that all combination sales are forbidden with the single exception of cornmeal and sugar, and this must be at the ratio of one pound of sugar to every two pounds of cornmeal. While the deal- er is restricted in all other combina- tion sales he is not required to make such sales of cornmeal and sugar but may do so at his discretion. A Ne Child Burned to Death. On Wednesday morning the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Robinson; near Gordon Heights, was totally de- stroyed by fire and with it the infant child of the family. The Robinsons formerly lived at Mt. Eagle. Details of the unfortunate incident are una- vailable at this writing. ——Up to Wednesday evening just 4135 hunters’ licenses had been issued in this county against 4009 last year, | an increase of 126. And this notwith- | standing the fact that Centre county has sent in the neighborhood of four hundred young men into the service. i The above number will be very close ‘the maximum, as it is likely that all i the hunters had secured their license when the number was taken.
