United Brethren College Campaign.
Last Sunday the United Brethren
church launched a great campaign to
raise $2,000,000 for educational pur-
poses, to increase its student enroll-
ment by 2000, and add 500 graduates
to its total of christian workers. The
territory co-operating with Otterbein
College is assigned one-fifth of these
objectives.
The Allegheny conference, of which
Bellefonte is a part, will raise $60,000
by May 9th, when the campaign will
close.
The campaign is in charge of a
general committee, of which Bishop
Matthews, senior Bishop of the U. B.
church, is chairman, and Dr. Clippin-
ger, president of Otterbein College, is
director. The conferences are so or-
ganized that every man, woman and
child will be reached. Outside friends
who are interested in the college will
also be solicited. :
The Rev. T. Hugh MacLeod is chair-
man, and Mr. Darius Waite the lead-
er of the Bellefonte district. The ef-
fort for students and christian work-
ers will continue throughout the
quadrenium.

What the Pennsylvania Red Cross
Has Done.
The following item from Clippings,
a Red Cross magazine, is of interest
to the public as it gives an idea of
the vast amount of work being done
by this organization:
“A new record for production in the
Pennsylvania division was establish-
ed during January.
Surgical dressings, 1,533,307; hos-
pital garments, 183,888; sweaters,
socks, mufflers, etec., 87,809.
The best part of it is that the sur-
gical dressings and hospital garments
have already been sent abroad, while
the knitted outfits have been distrib-
uted to the navy and the camps and
cantonments in this country.”

Howard last week and the following
board of directors elected: Ellis L.
Orvis, of Bellefonte; Dr. Walter
Kurtz, Howard; N. H. Yearick, Jack-
sonville; Albert Bitner, Blanchard,

the latter to take the place of W. A.
Batchelet, deceased. The directors de-
cided to improve the service the com-
ing summer by rebuilding a portion
of the lines between Howard and Or-
viston and Howard and Mill Hall, the
material for doing so being now on
hand.

Mrs. John Quinn, of Pennsyl-
vania Furnace, has received word that
her son, LeRoy Gates, has arrived
safely in France. The young man is
an electrician having graduated from
the New York Electrical college and
before his enlistment was employed
at the Standard Steel works, Burn-
ham. His first work in France was to
help wire and put in operation an ar-
tificizl ice plant. The plant, when
finished, will be the largest of its kind
in the world and will be used for man-
ufacturing ice for the American army
in France.
Andrew Johnson, aged fifty-
three years, of Port Matilda, employ-
ed as a carpenter in the Tyrone car
shops, was painfully injured on Mon-
day afternoon when a board he was
cutting slipped and threw his left
hand in contact with the circular saw.
The first, third and fourth fingers
were painfully lacerated, two of them
so badly that it was found necessary
to amputate them, at the Altoona hos-
pital, to which he was admitted for
treatment.

Rev. Hughes Receives Letter from
Old-time Pupil.
A few weeks ago there appeared in
the Philadelphia Ledger a picture of
the venerable James P. Hughes, prin-
cipal emeritus of the Bellefonte Acad-
emy, with a brief sketch of his life.
A few days later a very interesting
and reminiscent letter came to Mr.
Hughes from Mr. L. S. Lake, of Mem-
phis, Tenn., enclosing the picture and
article referred to and expressing the
writer's feelings of satisfaction and
congratulation that his old instructor
at the Edge Hill school in Princeton,
N. J., in 1855—1860 had been spared
to celebrate his ninetieth birthday.
An interesting correspondence fol-
lowed and a catalogue of the Acade-
my was sent Mr. Lake. Subsequent-
ly to the receipt of the catalogue Mr
Lake, now seventy years of age, wrote
a most complimentary letter to Mr.
James R. Hughes stating that he had
examined many school catalogues
from schools in. many States, and that
the Bellefonte Academy catalogue
was the most beautiful one, both as
to style and color effect, he had ever
seen.
It might be interesting to note that
the catalogue is published each year
by the “Democratic Watchman” print-
ing department.

On Sunday Thad Hamilton cel-
ebrated his eighty-second birthday
anniversary very quietly at his home
on east Howard street, and we ven-
ture the assertion that the whole State
of Pennsylvania cannot produce
another octogenarian like Mr. Ham-
ilton. Bellefonte has a number of res-
idents who have passed their four
score years but not one of them re-
tains the vigor of manhood to the
same‘extent that Mr. Hamilton does.
Every day he works in his planing
mill in the rear of his home or looks
after his business interests at State
College, and as for looks, he could
pass anywhere for a man of sixty
years. In fact he told the writer on
Tuesday that he felt young enough
to go down to Philadelphia and enlist
for work at the ship building plant at
the Hog Island navy yard, and offer-
ed to bet that he could get a job. And
if he did the “Watchman” would back
him for a day’s work against any man
half his age. Mr. Hamilton, by the
way is the next to the oldest native
of Bellefonte, the oldest native being
John P. Harris, who is eighty-four.
What $750,000 Worth of Spiritual
Service Means.
The budget of the National Luth-
eran Commission for one year’s war-
time service is higher than that of
most Protestant denominations. Itis
higher because the Commission is lay-
ing greater emphasis on personal
service and ministration. Where the
men are, there the church must be;
especially amid the complexities of
camp life and the rapid. shifting of
troops.
The emphasis on personal service
is brought out very clearly by glanc-
ing at the detailed budget. It is made
up as follows:
1. Equipment for Chaplains ......} 525,000
2. Secretaries’ salaries and Ex-
DORSEY LL eee seca 18,000
3. Camp Pastors’ salaries and
KXPenses i... lov hthiviniihs .000
4. Assistance to churches near
CAOMPE eid crite: 0,000
5. Interned Aliens ................ 20,000
6. Work in France ............... 50,000
7. Buildings ..............., 125,000
8S... Literature: .............. . 35,000
9.” Office expenses ......... ..12,000
10. Emergency expenses . 25,000
$750,000
The items “chaplains,” “camp pas-
tors,” “assistance to churches,” “work
in France,” totalling more than two-
thirds of the entire budget, are dis-
tinctly personal service.
Millions have been spent to provide
buildings and equipment for social,
recreational and religious activities in
the camps. Every camp has its Y. M.
C. A. huts, “the touch of home that
goes with the men.” In nearly 70
camps there are the halls of the
Knights of Columbus. The Fosdick
Commission is vigorously pushing the
erection of soldiers’ clubs, camp thea-
tres, and community halls.
Many camps have Protestant chap-
els. Camp Dodge, Iowa, has a Luth-
eran Brotherhood building.
The conviction is rising to the fore-
front among well informed men that
building and equipment facilities are
ample, that the great need at pres-
ent is consecrated man power of the
highest type to inspire the men with
the colors by their presence and by
their service. At a conference in
New York city recently, Mr. Ward,
the Y. M. C. A. man made the state-
ment: .
We have enough buildings to
take care of any emergency. We
need men. And if we don’t get
them, or don’t get the highest
type, our buildings will be of lit-
tle use.
The National Lutheran Commission
has aimed to add to the man-power in
the camps that is working to maintain
the spiritual values. It has canvass-
ed the church to get the men best fit-
ted for the work. In many cases they
were serving large congregations.
Their congregations were persuaded
to release them or give them a fur-
lough because the work with the ar-
my was considered more important
than any work of the church at pres-
ent. Prof. Charles M. Jacobs, D. D.,
of Mt. Airy Seminary, Philadelphia,
Pa., stated the sentiment of the
church recently. He said:
“Any one who is not willing to
make any, even the greatest sac-
rifice, personal or material, in
this emergency is committing the
sin of the centuries.”
The personal service in the camps
has meant much to the men in camp,
to the mothers and fathers at home.
——Women in Japan are being em-
ployed as dockers, and particularly so
at the port of Tsuruga, a halfway
point between America and Petro-
grad. These women smoke and wres-
tle with huge boxes and packages that
often seem certain to overtax their
strength. Much of the supplies for
the Russian army pass through that
port and are handled by women.

Winter Not so Cold, Says Weather
Expert.
_ Weather prophets and oldest inhab-
itants of Pennsylvania who don’t re-
member more severe winters than the
present one are confronted with cold
figures to strengthen their recollec-
tions. Dr. William Frear, chief
weather observer at the State College
observatory, says weather memories
are notoriously uncertain. He quotes
statistics gathered there in the last
thirty-eight years showing that neith-
er the snow fall nor the low tempera-
ture were record-breakers. He dug
into the files to find this evidence:
The snow fall for December last
was thirteen inches, and for January
almost twenty-six inches. Ten times,
he declared, since 1880 the December
figure has been exceeded. He cited
the years of 1880, 1890, 1898, 1903,
1906 and 1910 as having heavier snow
falls. During that time the heaviest
snow fall in any one year came in
1890, when more than thirty-two inch-
es came in December. In January,
1910, he pointed out, almost thirty-
seven inches of snow fell, an amount
one-half greater than was experienced
last month.
The minimum temperature for De-
cember last was 13 degrees below ze-
ro, according to Doctor Frear’s tabu-
lation, and it came on the 30th. He
concedes that to be the lowest mark
for any December since 1880.
The low point during January was
8 degrees below zero. In 1886 and
1912, 17 degrees below was recorded
during the corresponding month. In
other previous years 15, 13 and 10 de-
gree marks were touched at various
times. On eight different days last
month, said Doctor Frear, the mercu-
ry dropped to zero or below. His rec-
ords show this condition equaled on
two occasions, in January of 1893 and
1912.
Doctor Frear said the average tem-
perature for December last was 10 de-
grees below normal for that month on
other years. For last month the av-
erage was 12 degrees below normal.
At the end of December, he said,
three inches of snow remained on the
ground. The snow was ten inches
deep when January came to an end,
Doctor Frear added.

“Don’t
Answer”
When doubt exists as to the accuracy of such a report by the
telephone operator, there are three things to bear in mind.
First, that it is much easier and quicker for her to ring the
called telephone than to make such a report back to the
person calling.
Second, that people these days are out and about town on
a great variety of uncommon war-time undertakings, fre-
quently leaving their homes and offices with no one to
answer the telephone.
Third, sometimes a minor and temporary disarrangement
of the called telephone prevents the bell from ringing.
Be assured that the operators are trying hard to do their
part and that their efforts justifies full confidence and
consideration.
