Births and Deaths in Centre County.
In the year 1917 there were just
1073 births and 683 deaths in Centre
county, according to the returns filed
in the register’s office where a record
of the vital statistics is kept. This
compares very favorably with former
years as in 1916 there were 1077
births and 600 deaths. In 1915 the
number was 1132 births and 640
deaths and the total in 1914 was 1080
births and 600 deaths, or a grand to-
tal for the four years of 4362 births
and 2523 deaths.
During 1917 Bellefonte led in the
number of births with 121 while Rush
township had the greatest number of
deaths, 88. Only five children were
born in Huston township while Patton
township had only one death. The
complete returns for the county are
as follows:

More U. S. Troops in France Today
Than First Planned.
Washington, D. C., January 23.—
America is sending troops to Europe
far more rapidly than originally
planned.”
It is now estimated that, barring
disaster, fully twice as many Sam-
mies will be training under Pershing
by June as early estimates provided.
The fact has been assured members
of the Senate by President Wilson as
an example of the War Department’s
tremendous work. Under the circum-,
stances, the President holds, some
mistakes were inevitable, but ‘the
same mistakes have not been made
twice.”
At first War Department officers
felt that the United States ought not
to send any troops abroad short of a
year. Then the Allies began pressure
for some psychological effect. This
resulted in despatch of the Pershing
expedition and the Rainbow division.
a
KITCHEN PATRIOTISM.
By Mrs. D. Blanche Smull.
Since we're in this horrible war
Everything has changed
And schedules for us women folks
Mr. Hoover has arranged.
Experiments are the thing, he says
Experience does not count
We've got to cook by certain rules
And figure out the amount.
We have to bake with bran and corn
And fry our mush in crisco
To save the lard and wheat and such
From Maine to San Francisco.
Bacon and beef we must not eat,
For us it’s fish and chicken,
Because we've got to help to give
The Kaiser a “durned good licken.”
We used to chew, and chew and chew
When Fletcher had his day,
But now that’s not the thing to do :
Mr. Hoover is in sway.
We'll bravely do all we can
And learn the lessons well
If it will help support our boys
In Sherman's pseudonym for “hell.”
Alien Germans Must Register.
All alien German males of the age
of fourteen years and upwards are re-
quired to register, under the provis-
ions of the President’s proclamation
of November 16th, 1917.
The registration will be held at the
postoffice and will commence at 6
o'clock a. m. on February 4th, 1918,
and continue on each day successively
thereafter between the hours of 6 a. m.
up to and including the 9th day of
February, 1918, at 8 p. m.
All native’ citizens, denizens, or
subjects of the German Empire, or
Imperial German government, being
males of the age of fourteen years
and upwards who are within the Unit-
ed States and not actually naturaliz-
ed as citizens thereof are required to
register as alien enemies.
Registration will be made by affida-
vit, accompanied by four unmounted
photographs of the registrant, not
larger than 3 by 3 inches in size, on
thin paper, with light background.
Each photograph must be signed by
the applicant across the face thereof
so as not to obscure the features.
Finger prints of the registrants will
also be taken. :
All alien German residents coming
within the scope of the President’s
proclamation should present them-
selves for registration at the appoint-
ed time and place without further no-
tice. Failure to register will make
them liable to summary arrest and in-
ternment.
— Ye
Home Gardener’s Meeting.
A meeting of special interest to
both men and women will be held in
the grand jury room Tuesday night,
January 29th, at 7:30 o’clock. This
meeting is being arranged by the Cen-
tre County Farm Bureau in co-opera-
tion with. interested people in Belle-
fonte. 3
The nature of this meeting is along
gardening lines entirely and Mr.
Bechdel, State Extension vegetable
gardener has been secured to talk
over garden problems at this time.
Come prepared to ask questions and
discuss any problems on gardening.
Some of the phases Mr. Bechdel will
emphasize in particular will be:
Planning the garden, fertilizing, pre-
paring the seed bed, intercropping,
successive cropping, transplanting
hot-beds, cold frames, varieties, etc.
Americans Soon to be at Front.
Washington, January 23.—Secre-
tary Baker said today that when Gen-
eral Pershing sent his first battalions
into the trenches with veteran French
troops, formal announcement of the
fact was made here, coupled with the
explanation that these units were
rounding out their training course. A
similar announcement, either directly
from General Pershing or from the
Department, is expected when Amer-
ican troops finally take over whatever
sector of the battle line it is that they
are destined to fight in.
Recent press despatches from Gen-
eral Pershing’s headquarters have
shown that a considerable part of his
force, at any rate, was now regarded
as fully trained. The War Depart-
ment has had little to say on this sub-
ject. There have been no hints drop-
ped as to when the American front
would be established, but the impres-
sion is gaining strength here that the
day is not far distant.
Pleasure Autos May Have to Go.
Detroit, January 23.—Representa-
tives of motor and banking interests
have gone to Washington to confer
with Secretary of the Treasury Mc-
Adoo and Fuel Administrator Gar-
field, relative to an apparently well
founded report that the administra-
tion contemplates curtailment of the
production of passenger automobiles.
Such action, if taken without ample
warning, will, it is claimed, seriously
affect business generally.
War Bread Will be 75 Per Cent.
Wheat.
Chicago, January 23.—Bread in
Chicago after February 1 will contain
only seventy-five per cent. of flour.
Notice to this effect was given by the
Flourmen’s club of Chicago tonight,
the action being in response to a plea
from the federal food administration
received during the day. Similar ac-
tion, it was said, is being taken
throughout the country.
U Boats Recalled; the Kaiser Has
New Plan.
Paris, January 23.—Germany is re-
calling her submarines to their base
preparatory to adopting a new plan
of campaign, according to reports
reaching here today.
One suggestion was that the older
submarines were to be replaced by
new armored U boat cruisers, armed
with large guns.

Will You Send Your Binoculars to
Uncle Sam.
Serviceable field glasses, spy glass-
es and telescopes are required by the
navy in larger quantities than have
been obtainable up to the present. Pa-
triotic owners are requested to lend
such instruments to the Government
and to stimulate offerings the Penn-
sylvania Committee of Public Safety
is placing posters throughout tha
State.
Good lenses are wanted as “eyes”
for the fleet. They are the first de-
fense against submarine attacks. The
Navy Department accepts the loan of
all kinds of glasses with a proviso
that they will be properly tagged and
returned to their owners at the con-
clusion of the war, if they survive the
Wear and tear and danger of destruc-
ion.
Instruments which are returned will
possess historic interest in that they
will have given war ‘service and may
have been the direct means of bring-
ing defeat to submarine boats. Glass-
es - should - be forwarded to Hon.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Sec-
retary of the Navy, U. S. Naval Ob-
servatory, Washington, D. C.

Don’t Send Food to Your Boy at
Camp.
The Pennsylvania Committee of
Public Safety has been requested by
the Federal authorities to make this
appeal to relatives and friends of the
service men. Reasons for issuing the
appeal are given in the following of-
ficial announcement:
“The Council of National Defense
desires to inform the people of the
country that abundant food is sup-
plied to the soldiers and sailors in the
camps and cantonments, and that the
sending of food to these men by their
friends and families is not in any re-
spect necessary; that the aggregate
quantity of food thus privately sent
is enormous, and that much of it, hav-
ing been conveyed long distances in
heated -express or mail carsy is more
or less spoiled, and consequently in-
jurious to the health of the men.
Therefore, in the interest of the con-
servation of food, and also the health
of the men, the Council of National
Defense requests the public to discon-
tinue the sending of foodstuffs to the
camps.”
