Another “Old Subscriber.”
When the “Watchman” last week
referred to George M. Harter and J.
C. Wilson, of Nittany, as having read
this paper for forty-three years it did
not mean to slight any other of our
“old subscribers,” as we have a few
hundred on the list who have proba-
bly read it longer than that but mere-
ly mentioned the incident because Mr.
Harter and Mr. Wilson came in at the
same time and subscribed after de-
bating for awhile which county pa-
per to take, and the fact that they
have continued to take it for more
than two score years must be consid-
ered good evidence that they have
been satisfied with the choice made
that day.
And now along comes our friend
G. W. Rumberger, of Unionville, who
claims a record that can’t be beaten
by any of our subscribers, as he start-
ed with the first issue and has never
missed a copy, and he reads it, too,
from beginning to end, as the editor
has very good reason to know. But
we’ll leave him tell his tale in his own
inimical way, thusly:
Dear “Watchman:” .
In one item in your “Purely Per-
sonals” column of last week’s
“Watchman,” you say: “Geo. M.
Harter and J. C. Wilson, of Nittany,
have been readers of the “Democratic
Watchman” for 43 years”—a splen-
did record, truly, but if those two
splendid gentlemen and I were com-
peting for an Overland car as a prize
for the best record as a long subscrib-
er to your valuable paper I think I
could capture the persimmon and have
a big slice of my record left.
In 1854, the late Shannon McCor-
mick, father of the Hon. John T. Mec-
Cormick, being a most enthusiastic
Democrat, canvassed part of the coun-
ty in securing subscribers for a new
Democratic paper to be called the
“Democratic Watchman.” He travel-
ed on horseback. My father then
lived on the Green farm, now occu-
pied by Col. J. Dorsey Green. Com-
ing down Buffalo Run valley he, of
course, called on my father, knowing
him to be an, equally enthusiastic
Democrat, who without hesitation
gave him his name as a subscriber to
the “Watchman.” his was before
the first copy of the paper was issued.
Thus I became a. “reader” of your
valuable paper 63 years ago and have
kept it up ever since.
Five years after—1859—I married,
began life on my own hook and when
I went to house-keeping I subscribed
for the “Watchman” and have taken
it ever since—b58 years, and looking
at my label I find my subscription is
paid up to May 15th, 1919. Now,
what do you think of that? For 58
years your excellent paper has made
its weekly welcome visits to my home
and my love for it has not abated in
the least. In fact it has increased so
much that I would no more think of
doing without it than I would think
of doing without my daily meals of
chicken and waffles, ice cream, et
cetera.
“Summary:”—I have been a reader
of the “Watchman” 20 years longer
and a subscriber 15 years longer than
the two Hon. gentlemen above named.
If you have any other subscribers
who can “knock me out” on my rec-
ord I would be glad if you would trot
them out. Now, I have not written
this little squib boastfully but when
I read the item above referred to I
couldn’t resist the temptation to let
your readers know that “there are
others.”

Sale of Thrift Stamps Now On.
RUMBERGER.
The sale of thrift stamps in Centre
county is now on and every effort will
be made to make the sale universal.
The quota for Centre county has been
set at $876,200, and to reach this mark
it will be necessary for the public in
general to purchase the same. W.
Harrison Walker is chairman for Cen-
tre county and he anticipates starting
a whirl-wind campaign in the near fu-
ture.
In this connection it might be stat-
ed that Secretary McAdoo’s unique
plan for the sale of war stamps by
mail order is ready to be put into ef-
fect and householders should be pre-
pared to hear the postman on his
round calling loudly, “Any war
stamps today?” The sale of these
stamps through a system of “cash on
delivery” at the home of the purchas-
er is the latest idea in war financing
announced by Mr. McAdoo and it is
said to be the first undertaking of any
nation to deliver and collect for its
securities in the homes of it’s people.
The plan is to send some 25,000,000
postcards into as many homes appeal-
ing for subscriptions to the war sav-
ings stamps. To each card will be at-
tached a return card on which the re-
cipient may write the amount of
stamps he or she wishes to buy and
which may be mailed without cost to
the nearest post master. A postman
will deliver the stamps and collect for
them. It is expected that this method
of sale, once established, will contin-
ue until the issue of $2,000,000 is tak-
en. Additional posteards will be sup-
plied from time to time.
The Pennsylvania War Savings
committee is contemplating drafting
traveling salesmen to sell stamps on
their business trips and also to re-
port if the campaign is being well ad-
vertised throughout the State and re-
ceiving due publicity.

Killed On His Saw Mill.
J. Wells Smith, of Howard, met in-
stant death about four o’clock on Fri-
day afternoon on his saw mill on Wal-
lace run, about fifteen miles from
Montoursville, Lycoming county. He
was engaged in sawing lumber when
the belt came off of the saw shaft.
He endeavored to put it on without
stopping the machinery and was
caught on the shaft and whirled
around several times, being dead
when found by the other three men
who worked on the mill.
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam B. Smith, and was born in Ly-
coming county almost sixty-three
years ago. As a young man he en-
gaged in teaching school, following
that profession a number of years.
Later he located in Howard township
and engaged in farming but the past
thirteen years had been in the lum-
bering business. He was a member
of the Methodist church all his life.

vived by his second wife and five chil-
dren, namely: Mrs. Olive Schenck, of

Native of Centre County Dead in
France,
John C. Gates, a member of the
United States railway engineering
corps is dead in France and his par-
ents in Tyrone were so notified on
Saturday by Adjutant General Me-
Clain, the notification merely setting
forth the fact that his death was
“from an undetermined cause.”
The young man was a son of Isaac
A. and Nancy Ellenberger Gates and
was born at Gatesburg, this county,
on August 28th, 1892. When a young
man he went to work for the Penn-
sylvania railroad and for some time
had been employed at the Tyrone
scales. On September Tth, 1917, he
enlisted in Company A, Twenty-first
regiment railway engineers and was
trained at Rockford, Ill. Early in De-
cember he spent a brief furlough at
his home in Tyrone and shortly there-
after his regiment was sent to France.
He was a charter member of the
Century club of Tyrone and was
quite active in athletic circles, hav-
ing been manager of the Y. M. C. A.
basket ball team of Tyrone. He was
also a member of the First Lutheran
church and Sunday school of Tyrone.
In addition to his parents he is sur-
vived by these brothers and sister:
Wilson Gates, of Altoona; Isaac, of
Harrisburg; Edith, Edgar and Sam-
uel, of Tyrone. Efforts will be made
to have the body brought to this coun-
try for burial.

Bellefonte Chapter Red Cross Enroll-
ed 3003 Members.
The Christmas membership cam-
paign conducted by the Bellefonte
Chapter of the American Red Cross,
resulted in the enrollment of over
3000 members, which exceeds the quo-
ta for the Chapter by 1000. The de-
lay in making public these results was
due to the extreme cold and heavy
snow interfering with the work
through the country and many of the
auxiliaries continued their campaign
for a longer time than originally
planned, but such results as the fol-
lowing are well worth waiting for:

The Bellefonte ‘Steam Heat Question
Acute Again.
The local steam heating company is
flying distress signals again. An-
nouncement was made yesterday at its
office that unless all the consumers
who have put in their own plants can
be persuaded to return as consumers
from the central plant it will have to
stop furnishing heat. The only alter-
native would be raising the rate away
beyond the point that those who re-
main could pay.
The executive committee of the
Board of Trade met the officers of the
company yesterday and after going
over the figures discovered that the
plant is being operated at a loss that
it is unreasonable to expect any com-
pany to take.
A, committee has been appointed to
visit all former consumers with a
view to inducing them to become pa-
trons again and if it fails in its mis-
sion the probability is strong that the
plant will close, after due notice.
