THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY ——The big military scene in the Academy minstrels is worth seeing. Be sure to attend this evening. A big Packard four ton truck of the State Highway Department was brought to Bellefonte on Tues- day. ——Coming soon, Coburn’s min- strels, a real singing and dancing show. At the opera house Tuesday, April 30th. A home talent benefit for war relief work will be given in the opera house Monday, May 13th, under the auspices of the Bellefonte Chapter of the D. A. R. ——Col. H. S. Taylor has been se- cured to deliver the Memorial day ad- dress at Tyrone, and the people of that place are in for an oratorical treat that will be worth listening to. ——Gregg Curtin last week resign- ed his position as electrician for the Titan Metal company and on Monday morning went to work in a similar ca- pacity for the American Lime & Stone company. . Help out the big Red Cross benefit by going to see the Academy minstrels tonight. Even if you saw them last night you should go again this evening. 2? ——A seven hundred dollar ship- ment of day old chicks, five thousand in all, were sent by parcel post from the Bellefonte postoffice on Wednes- day, from the Frank Hockman incu- | bating plant at Hecla. At a meeting of the Firemen’s | Relief Association of Bellefonte held on Monday evening it was voted to invest $500 in Liberty bonds. The as- sociation now has invested $6,700 and the action taken meets with the unan- imous approval of the firemen. Miss Martha Barnhart, of this place, who during the current session has taught the primary grade in the Adams avenue school, Tyrone, has been elected to the position of teach- er of history in the High school at that place for the ensuing year. ——Charles M. Heisler has sold the home he now occupies on Willowbank street to Richard Holmes, a former resident of Howard. Mr. Holmes is a foreman on railroad contract work and does not expect to come to Belle- fonte to live for a year, at least. Did you see the big perform- ance of the wonderful Academy min- strels last night? If you didn’t you missed something that. you will never have a chance to see again unless you go tonight. And be sure and go ear- ly this evening as the curtain will rise at 8 o’clock sharp. ——When the little man who play- ed the character of “Jeff” in “Mutt and Jeff” at the opera house on Tues- day evening was on his way to the train Wednesday morning a bystand- er looked him over then remarked: “Well, you may make a living at it, but I'll be d——d if I'd want to look like that.” ——The U. S. Treasury Depart- ment has cancelled all appropriations for new federal buildings or the con- tinuation of work on same for the time being, and the result is the new postoffice building at State College will not be started at present with the ten thousand dollars appropriated for that purpose. Last week’s snow was hard on the birds, especially robins. Whether it was because of the below-freezing weather shat accompanied the snow or because of the inability of the birds to find the necessary food for their sustenance is not known, but a num- ber of dead robins were found in this vicinity, several right on the streets of Bellefonte. ——The trout fishing season is now here but that is no reason why the dis- ciples of Izaak Walton cannot attend the Scenic. Fishing in daylight and attending the Scenic at night should be the limit of pleasure for every man. Remember the programs will be just as big as ever and the pictures as in- teresting. When tired fishing buy a Liberty bond then go to the Scenic. ——Samuel Edwards, of Somerset county, was electrocuted at the Rock- view penitentiary Monday morning for the murder of his wife. Six min- utes after he was placed in the death chair he was pronounced dead by Dr. Felker. William Warren, the colored man of Chester county, who was to have been electrocuted last week, has been respited until the week begin- ning May 20th. In another column will be found a very interesting record kept for a period of forty-five years by George Mussew, of Boggs township, being the dates on which he began ploughing in the spring, began sowing oats and planting corn. Very few springs were earlier than this, so be encouraged that fhere is still plenty of time to plant the big crops which every far- mer should put into the ground this spring. The American people as a class want to be amused. As evidence of this fact take the show of “Mutt and Jeff” on Tuesday night. Notwith- standing the serious situation today on account of the war the opera house was crowded, people motoring here from State College, Snow Shoe and from Pennsvalley, four miles: below Centre Hall. Of course they all felt that they had gotten their money’s worth; + because - they -eame for an evening of fun and they got it. MISS BERTHA LAURIE WRITES AGAIN OF HER WORK IN FRANCE. Secretary Baker and General Pershing Inspected Their Camp. Dear You have no idea how rejoiced we are to get letters or papers from home, and, by the way, not a “Watch- man” have I had since the December numbers. I do hope you are well and strong again and feeling like your : usual healthy self, but unless you are absolutely that you musn’t think of coming over. We both thank the Lord every day for our good health, for we're cold and tired to death many, many days. There is no use in talk- ing of living on one’s nerve for if we hadn’t been very strong four months of it would have finished us. As it is we are both getting fat, I’m sorry to say, on our own cooking. Your letter made me laugh when you referred to inconveniences in the kitchen. I wish you could see the place where we cook and eat and en- tertain our guests. It’s a sight. With all the stores for our canteen piled around; boxes half empty and crates and cans all over the place. We are in perfect dispair trying to keep it in order and with the five soldier boys, who are detailed to help us, messing around it is impossible. No running water. The substitute is a barrel with a wooden spigot and there is rarely ever fire wood enough so we have to chop boxes and then the boys use our utensils after we have gone for the night and eat our food, too, when we forget to lock it up—and then maybe there isn’t a “scene” when we return in the morning and confront them with the perfidy of “taking the candy from the little folks.” "Last Monday we went to the city and at dinner in ‘the evening, among other French and American dignita- ries in came a party of five American officers. Marion knew one of them, Col. Frank McCoy, of Lewistown, and all of them are on General Pershing’s staff and making a flying tour of France. Well, we had coffee with them and spent a pleasant evening. They were going out to our camp the next morning, starting at eight, in two cars, so asked us to join them and as we had expected to meet the bread and beef truck at the Arch, which is in the middle of the city street in front of the hotel, at ten, we decided for a change that we would ride ‘out with the Colonels. We rose early and did our marketing which in- cluded the purchase of a cauliflower, radishes, sausages and cheese, which with oranges, lemons, canned fruits and olives we loaded in our net bags. Then we bought a large bunch of lovely: yellow flowers, Mimosa, and when: we appeared at the limousine inifront of the hotel door the Colonels looked quite outdone, but we got to laughing so when we were loaded in that they caught the spirit and we were a very merry party indeed. We invited them to dinner in our hovel, but they all were too busy except Col. McCoy who said he would if he could get off. In anticipation of that we put the cassarole in the oven full of beef, potatoes, onions and tomatoes. It was delicious if I do say it myself. Then Marion cooked the cauliflower and just when dinner was ready and the Colonel hadn’t come some one rushed in to tell us the ware-house was on fire. It was most exciting. Near gasoline tanks, a garage and stables and thousands of soldiers were flying. We were thrilled, but so fear- ful lest some one would get hurt, but fortunately no one was and just when it ‘was over up rolled the limousine with Col. McCoy and Major Jack Greemay. The latter was in Orville Hickok’s class at Yale and he is sta- tioned near here. Well, if it hadn’t been for that fire the dinner would have been eaten and the officers would have © gone hungry—“Providence moves in a mysterious way—” They evidently enjoyed it, took three help- ings and were so polite as to declare it the best dinner they had eaten in France—fancy talk of course,—but their appetites did seem fairly good. Their talk was interesting and as we felt we were getting nearly authentic goods we were wonderfully excited. Another regiment came in on Fri- day and you never saw such crowds as fill the Y. We're not nearly large enough so they are talking about building a couple more in the camp, but lumber is so scarce that-it may be sometime before that is done. The canteen is to be doubled, however, as our receipts have been doubled this month and the crowds are so great that we can’t reach them all. My ‘training in the bank has been my sal- vation, for I have had charge of the money and it is fearful getting the proper exchange on checks, green- backs, silver and postal orders. Mar- ion helps and the hut secretary, Mr. Edwards, but yesterday we worked over it for three hours, mending mon- ey to get a deposit ready for the bank. It is a miserable nuisance and I'd rather have run my legs off in the can- teen. : We have the finest little minister who is doing the finest work. The boys like him, come to him for advice and applaud his sermons, which real- ly are worth while—short and to the point. We have fine secretaries now and we're all crazy about the work. It is the most wonderfully satisfying hard work. My but I wish there were some Bellefonte men who could come over for this job. You meet wonder- ful men here; not only in the Y. M. C. A. but in the army. Men who have given up splendid positions to come. One officer who had been working— working up to 4 great engineering job for five years; a job that meant a life- time success and just when it was within his grasp he voluntarily gave it all up and came. There are hun- dreds of that kind here and they make one so proud of our men because they have the spirit and the love of coun- try and humanity. I get quite stirred up at times over it. I declare I do, but I must stop now, so good-bye un- til you hear from me again. BERTHA. Since the above was received other letters from Miss Laurie have come announcing the arrival of the first contingent of Bellefonte boys in the camp in which she is located. Secretary of War Baker and Gen- eral Pershing, himself, have both vis- ited their camp in the meantime—and a letter written to his family in Lew- istown Col. McCoy reports that Miss Ely, who has charge of the Y. M. C. A. canteens in France, says that the one kept by Miss Laurie and Miss Watts is about the best kept one over there. Mr. John Sourbeck was knocked down on the brick paved street near the Pennsylvania railroad station, about two o'clock on Wednesday after- noon and sustained a bad gash on the left side of his head and suffered the loss of considerable blood, and at this writing it is not known just how se- rious his injuries may be as he had regained only partial consciousness at times up to last evening. Mr. Sourbeck was at the passenger depot and was just leaving there when the accident occurred. The machine that hit him is owned and was driven by John Hoy, of Jacksonville. Mr. Hoy had stopped in front of the ex- press office and after attending to his business there started his machine to go across the railroad to turn around. Another car was standing in front of Keichline’s store so that Mr. Hoy had to swing to the left of the street. As he did so Mr. Sourbeck stepped out from between two cars waiting at the depot for the train right in front of the Hoy car. He was hit and knock- ed down, falling with considerable force on the paved street and pushed along several feet. Fortunately Mr. Hoy was driving very slowly and was able to stop his car in a few feet, which probably saved Mr. Sourbeck from further in- jury. Joseph Thal, who witnessed the accident, and another man picked the injured man up as quickly as possi- ble and Mr. Macker took him to the hospital in his car where the injury was dressed and he is now getting the best of attention but it is said that the extent of his injury will not be known for probably forty-eight hours, especially if he has suffered a frac- tured skull. He was unconscious when picked up and remained so until early yesterday afternoon when he recog- nized his niece, Mrs. Ruth Yeager, and the boy who clerks in his store, but relapsed again into a state 6f un- cotisciousiiess. It is the opinion of the witnesses of the accident that it was purely “acci- dental and not due to reckless orcare- less driving on the part of Mr. Hoy. With the latter in the car at the time was his wife and Mrs. Clyde Wetzel, of this place. His stop in front of the express office was really to let’ Mr. Wetzel, who had ridden down town with them, out. 3 Centre County’s Liberty Loan Allot- ments by Townships. Many people are curious to know how the allotment of the third Liber- ty Loan bonds awarded to Centre county was fixed. For their informa- tionn the “Watchman” is authorized to announce that it was done on the basis of five per cent. of the total as- sessed valuation of the county. Outside of Philipsburg and; Rush township, which are not in the Feder- al Reserve district credited to Centre county, the total assessed valuation is about $12,000,000.00. Five per cent. of this amount is $600,000 or our al- lotment. : > Now . the allotment per township has been made on the same basis, that is, 5 per cent. of the assessed valua- tion of the townships and is as fol- lows: Dennge OBES u.vs Burnside . College ... Curtin Ferguson Gregg Haines ... Halfmoon .. er aalen sais a aa sie sae $ 22650.00 vs oo. 14650.00 Harris Howard Huston Liberty Marion . Miles .. Snow Shoe Spring Taylor: ... Union r $418150.00 The balance necessary to make up the full allotment has been awarded to the larger boroughs on the same percentage plus a percentage added by reason of their known banking re- sources. How many of the townships will go over the top in their subscriptions? ‘Word has been received in Cen- tre county of the death in Akron, Ohio, on Sunday, of a daughter of the late Otis Hoy, of Pine Hall. Her maiden name was Clara Hoy but she married after going to Akron and her husband’s name could not be learned. Her survivors are her husband, a ten day’s old baby, her mother, now Mrs. Ada Vogel, of Akron, and the follow- ing brothers and sisters: Walter, El- mer and Verna, of State College; Eu- gene and Dorothy, of Akron. Burial was made in the latter city on Wed- nesday. ; — Mrs. Wells L. Daggett is a sur-. gical patient at the Bellefonte hos- pital. Bellefonte Boys Met Miss Bertha Laurie in France. The first direct news received from Ivan Walker, Charles E. Gates, Frank Smith, Lester Musser and Samuel Rhinesmith, members of the 8h Pro- visional Ordnance Depot company, since they sailed for France the latter part of February, was received last week when letters were received by friends of all the young men, and re- markable as the fact may appear the young men have been assigned to du- ty in the same town in which Miss Bertha Laurie, of Bellefonte, is en- gaged in Y. M. C. A. work. In writ- ing to his sister of their arrival at their billet and brief experience in France Charles E. Gates says: I am now sitting in the Y. M. C. A., the very one that Miss Bertha Laurie is in, writing this letter. Yes, Miss Laurie is here and she was certainly glad to see this gang of Bellefonte boys float in the other day. The com- pany was marching past the Y. M. C. A. when “Buck” (Frank) Smith es- pied her and he spoke and she told the young lady who was with her in the doorway that “there is a fellow from my home town.” : We have traveled quite a bit in France and find that it is a very beau- tiful country, and we are certainly running against big buildings and walls, built for all I know by Napo- lean or perhaps Caesar. The most wonderful thing that has struck me yet is the remarkable cultivation of the gardens. We are finally located in the war zone and are with what is called the American advance section, but have no fear for me, as I am only sore be- cause I can’t get to see more. All the boys from home are in fine spirits and good health. Our duties for the present will be in the storehouse, I think. We are all in better shape than at any time since we left Camp Hancock. Miss Laurie is certainly looking fine. She says she enjoys her work very much. I have not received any mail from home since leaving camp Merritt but I suppose it will be along some time. Please have the “Watchman” sent to me regularly, as I will appreciate every word that’s in it, no matter how old it is. Another letter written by private Gates to his father is as follows: Dear Dad: — Well, I have set my feet very firm- ly on French soil and found that in some places they stick in the mud; other places are paved and roads dry and dusty. They call the season over here late spring, and one can see many of the French peasants digging in’ their gardens and setting out plants which loek like cabbage or cauliflow- er. They also have spring onions, and that ‘reminds ‘me that you ‘will soon be doing ‘your bit in that garden of ours back home. “Our trip across was very unevent- ful and the scenery not very change- able, as it was water one day and more the next. You can take it from me, your Uncle Sam is very considerate ef his youngsters, as everything is for our benefit. At present we are having some trouble changing and getting used to the French currency, but I am not in the least bothered by that, as the to- bacco I bought left me without any- thing to worry about. Now if the folks back home ever think of sending anything over, tell them to make it tobacco and candy, as they are what we want most. I don’t know how long it will be till pay day, and American goods are somewhat higher here than at home. When I get back to the States I will have enough to talk about to fill one year’s issue of the “Watchman,” so when you hear the war is over just reserve that space for me. All the boys, as I mentioned before, are in excellent health and spirits, and the only thing that worries us at all is the thought that the ones at home are worried about us. Well, Dad, as I don’t want to ex- haust the patience of the censor I will close, with love to all. CHARLES E. GATES. Refused to Drink, Then Slashed with Razor. A number of foreigners were in the 00 | bar-room at the Haag hotel Saturday 00 | evening drinking beer when Pat Law- ric, who only recently arrived in Bellefonte, joined them. He was in- vited to have a drink and most of those present set ’em up. Finally Pat called for the drinks but none of the 00 | crowd wanted a drink just then. Pat insisted but the men declined and 00 | started to walk away. This angered Pat and he drew a razor and made three slashes at one of the men, John Vetti, by name, giving him one bad cut on the head. Lawric was later arrested and at a hearing before Squire Woodring on Tuesday morn- ing was held for trial at court. prt. ——The Beatty Mo*or company now has a force of artis.ns at work re- modeling the former home of the Bellefonte Republican into an office building and show room for the Ford automobile. = The foundation walls are being repaired, the first floor will be dropped to street level and a large plate glass front put in. A big gaso- line tank will be installed under the pavement so that customers can be supplied with gas right on the street. It will not only be a big improvement to the building but will afford the Beatty Motor company excellent ad- vantages in advertising the Ford car. ——C. C.

Farmers who figure this season as being backward can take consolation in the fact that it is only about nor- mal, at that. Mr. George H. Musser, the well known farmer of Boggs town- ship, has kept a report of when he began ploughing, sowed his oats and planted his corn ever since he began farming, or forty-five years, and as a matter of interest he has given it to the “Watchman” for publication. Read it and you will observe that there have been a number of times when the season was later than this year: Began to Began to Began to Plow Sow Oats Plant Corn 1874....
