The following letter has been re- ceived at the “Watchman” office from the mother of two young men who volunteered for service in the great European struggle, and we are proud to place the names of “her” boys on the Honor Roll of Centre county. We also take the opportunity of publish- ing her letter in full because it shows that the boys’ patriotism is a family heritage and one that they are worth- ily upholding. Orviston, Pa., Feb. 23, 1918. To the Democratic Watchman: I was informed by Mr. C. B. Page that you are desirous of obtaining the names of all the Centre county boys who are in the service of our country. I am proud to state that my oldest boys, J ohn Hume Jr., and Louis Niep- ling Hume, were among the first to respond to the call for men. John Hume Jr., at that time being 21 years and 8 months old, enlisted at Wil- liamsport on April 9th, 1917, and was sent to Fort Slocum, N. Y., thence to the Canal Zone, where he is a mem- ber of the machine gun company of the 29th infantry stationed at Camp Gaillard, Culebra. Louis Neipling Hume, aged 18 years and 2 months, enlisted at Williamsport on May 1st, 1917, was sent to the Newport, R. I, naval training station and was next assigned to the battleship Texas, where he is now in service in the elec- trical department. It may interest you to know that these boys come honestly by their pa- triotism. Their father, John Hume, is at present employed as a burner for the Centre Clay and Brick compa- ny at Orviston. He is a lineal de- scendant of Col. Hume, who fought for France many years ago and’ also for Bonnie Prince Charlie. Another ancestor was General Leslie, of Scot- tish renown. Mr. Hume's cousin, Gen. Sir Joseph Hume, did valiant service in India. On their mother’s side they are descended from Gen. William Smallwood, of Maryland, of revolutionary fame. The latter’s son, Col. Smallwood, saw service in the war of 1812-15. Other ancestors were Adjutant General George Von Seitz, an aide to Baron Steuben; Brig. Gen. John Doughty (afterwards Dou- ty) and Col. Thomas Doughty. Three uncles on their mother’s side were Civil war veterans, and their grandfather, the late Louis Niepling, belonged to a south New Jersey regi- ment. There were also a number of relatives in the Spanish-American war, but all failed to get into Cuba. A cousin, Lorenzo Allen Dunsmore, of Arnold, Pa., is now in France, while his eldest brother, Morris Dunsmore, is at Camp Lee, Va., and another brother, William Dunsmore, is expect- ing a call to arms soon. So you see we are very proud of our brave boys and our hearts go out to the noble lads and mothers throughout the whole land. It makes one feel akin to the whole United States of Amer- ica. Mrs. JOHN HUME. roe Bakeries Close for Lack of Flour Substitutes. The City bakery of Bellefonte clos- ed down on Tuesday because of the in- ability to get the required substitutes for baking war bread. A small bak- ing was made on Monday night with a certain grade of substitute but it turned out so poorly that the proprie- tor, Harry Clevenstine, decided it was only a waste of good flour to try to make bread without the proper sub- stitutes, hence closed for a day or two, but it is likely bread will be baked today. But the City bakery in this place is not the only one that has had to close down. The Philipsburg bakery was also closed on Monday. The two bak- eries at State College, however, are putting out their usual quantity of bread, the proprietors of one of them informing this office that they had the necessary substitutes and were put- ting out the required war bread. Inquiry of Danenhower’s wholesale grocery brought the information that they were unable to gét the stipulated flour substitutes from the western mills and could get no assurance of any for from thirty to ninety days, the millers claiming that it required new machinery to make the substi- tutes and took time to install the same. Just why State College bakeries can get the substitutes and other bakeries cannot is a question the “Watchman” is unable to answer, but such seems to be the situation at present. coo ——During the first nine months after we entered the world war ene- my incendiaries destroyed $50,000,000 Sort of property in the United ates. d | in the fall. | DEATH OF DR. DIXON. | State Health Commissioner Succumbs | to Aneamia in Philadelphia. | Philadelphia, February 26.— Dr. | Samuel G. Dixon, commissioner of the | State Department of Health, who is | credited with having placed Pennsyl- | vania among the foremost States in {public health matters and in the { treatment of tuberculosis, died at the | University of Pennsylvania hospital today after a long illness. He was 66 | years old. |” Dr. Dixon suffered from anaemia. {He had been ill since last summer {and entered the University hospital ii Following a blood trans- fusion operation, he seemed to im- prove until several days ago when there was a change. With Dr. Dixon when he passed away were his wife and daughter, his brother, Edwin S. Dixon, and sister, Mrs. Walter Horst- man. Dr. Dixon was appointed commis- sioner of health by Governor Penny- packer in 1905, when the department was created, and was re-named by each succeeding Governor. He was born in Philadelphia, was privately educated and for a time practiced law. Not being in robust health, he became a student of medicine, attending med- ical schools in Europe and America and earned a world wide reputation in the field of hygiene and bacteriol- ogy. He was probably best known for original and advanced work on the prevention and treatment of tubercu- losis. The death of Dr. Dixon recalls the famous controversy between himself and Prof. Koch, of Germany, over the priority of discovery of the method of preventing tuberculosis in lower ani- mals, which created considerable stir in the scientific world. Through Dr. Dixon’s efforts, the State established sanitariums, with about 2,000 beds in different parts of the State for the care of tuberculosis patients and also established dispen- saries in all populous centres. He was honored by many scientific societies and was awarded the grand medal at the Panama-Pacific exposition for an exhibit showing the scope of public health work in Pennsylvania. Dr. Dixon was for many years pres- ident of the Academy of Natural Sciences, a member of many scientif- ic bodies and a trustee of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. PENNA. SOLDIERS IN PARADE. Swing Through Augusta Streets, While Crowds Cheer and Flags Wave. Augusta, Ga., Feb. 22.—The marble forms of Lee, Jackson, Cobb and Walker, heroes of the confederacy looked down upon 30,000 Pennsylva- nians this morning as they swung in- to line down Broad street and parad- ed around the monuments on the march back to camp. These forms seemed to smile a quiet approval of the military demonstration in honor of Washington’s birthday of the men from beyond the Mason and Dixon line, who will mingle with others in khaki from every State to make war upon the common enemy. For two hours a solid stream of sun-burned, stalwart men from Penn- sylvania filed past the monument. Had not the parade been hurried to permit the return of the men to camp in time for mess, it would have requir- ed probably three hours for the units to pass. . Miss Mary Hall, a familiar figure at all reunions, where she wears the gray of a confederate soldier, and who is known throughout the south as an unreconstructed “rebel,” today cheer- ed the men in khaki and clapped her 30,000 80 years old. Military police headed the parade, followed by the men of the officers’ training camp. Then came the Fifty- fifth and Fifty-sixth brigades of in- fantry, with the 108th and 109th ma- chine gun battalions. Next was the 107th machine gun battalion and the Fifty-third field artillery brigade. The parade closed with the 103rd engi- neers, the 103rd field signal battalion, 103rd ammunition train, 103rd supply train, 103rd engineer train and the 103rd sanitary train. General Charles H. Muir and his staff headed the parade, and on the return march he reviewed the divi- sion, which will probably be its last public appearance before going over to take its part in the great European war.

Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 23.—If Gov- ernor Brumbaugh issues his call for a special session of the Legislature he will be asked to include in the matters for consideration legislation to increase the terms of County Com- missioners from four years to six, but preventing a second consecutive term. It is declared by some students of county government that the majority of the County Commissioners elected in Pennsylvania are so exceedingly busy during their first terms making sure that they will be re-elected that the counties all suffer. A single term, they argue, would result in more efficient service. Until a few years ago the term of a County Commissioner was only three years. So if a six year term were granted it would be equal to two of the old length. Principal objection to the six year proposal, of course, will come the fact that a term of that length would lessen the power of the people to strike at unsatisfactory commissioners’ boards.
