Bluebirds are se- lected as plays for their value as en- entertainment; they are produced by skilled artisans and played by actors and actresses especially selected for every role. It is now Major David Dale. U. S. A. M. C,, if you please. And the Bellefonte friends of our popular physician who has given his service to his country and so modestly goes on with his work—that is earning fre- quent promotions—will be delighted to learn of his recent advancement at Oglethorpe. Division employees of the Lew- isburg and Tyrone railroad from Bellefonte to Lewisburg attended a meeting at the Orpheum theatre, Lew- isburg, on Saturday, and after the business for which they were called together was transacted they became patriotic and subscribed for $4,500 worth of Liberty bonds.

Bellefonte and Centre county peo- ple well remember Casey Jones, a for- mer Bellefonte Academy student and athlete, who, after finishing his course at the Academy went to State College but when the government called for men Casey left college and enlisted in the aviation division. He is now in Italy and in a letter written to a Bellefonte friend under date of March 22nd he says: Your letter of February 18th came yesterday and I beg to say the box and Saturday Evening Posts came to day. I can never thank you enough for all those things. I do not believe there is anything that makes a per- son feel better than letters from the States. When a person feels tired and blue a letter boosts his morale high as the sky and he forgets all his troubles. We are having terribly hot days now and work harder than ever. We fly from 5 a. m. to 7:30 p. m., only be- ing allowed three-quarters of an hour for lunch, and I am so tired at night I just feel like hopping into bed with all my clothes on. If the fine weather continues I ex- pect to finish here real soon and then I will go on my first raid. That jour- ney will be about 150 miles and I ex- pect to make it in a little more than an hour. I cannot tell just yet when I will leave here, or where I will go, but I am hoping to get back to France. 3 I suppose you have heard of the many raids on Naples. We are in di- rect line with that place and have heard machines go over at night, but as yet they have not let us have any of their bombs. The nearest attack to us was over one mile distant, and that is quite a long way off. In another letter to his mother in Connellsville Casey wrote: “Probably you think I am lost, but after roaming around in France for three months I am at last in sunshine down here. During my trip I could only drop a card. “First, I must tell you something of our wonderful trip. Just a brief out- line as you know I could write for ages about the many interesting ex- periences and sights. We left our former camp in France, traveling first-class, which aviators and officers only enjoy over here. Our route led north and then south and then through the Alps until we crossed the border into Italy. That section of France was wonderful. We were allowed stop-over privileges at all large cities and places of interest. Coming to the Alps we spent three days in looking around the towns in the mountains. I cannot describe their beauty. My camera was hot from taking pictures. 0 “Our first impression of Italy was gained after passing through the great tunnel, 27 miles long, at Modena. We saw ‘our first Italian city when we came to Turin, another wonder. After riding in an open hack (we call them sea-going hacks because they look like boats) for several hours, we en- trained and proceeded to Pisa. Here we saw the famous leaning tower. “Our next great stop was Reme. I was much surprised, during my tour of this city to learn that I had seen three of the seven wonders of the world. = They are the Collosseum, St. Peter’s Cathedral and the Forum. I rode on the Appian Way; crossed the famous bridge of Horatio (restored in the 15th century) and explored the ruins of the great Stadium where Titanius Silenus, the negro, built the wonderful castle. The Stadium had a seating capacity of 325,000 and was the scene of the chariot races depict- ed in “Ben Hur” and “Quo Vadis.” 1 went through the Vatican which con- tains 1,200 rooms. Oh! it was all too wonderful to explain. “After eating a wonderful meal we left Rome and proceeded to within a few miles of Naples, where we saw Mt. Vesuvius, an eruption of which destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. We did not stay long at Naples. I expect to spend the week-end there next week. “This camp is wonderful, no less so than the meals furnished by the Italian soldiers. Our bill of fare con- sists of oranges, spaghetti, macaroni ‘and such standard dishes as are com- The play to be given on May | 13th by strong home talent, promises to be ene of the best ever staged in | Bellefonte. The selection of this par- ticular play and the cast, under the direction of Miss Baer, spells unsur- passed success. The proceeds will be devoted entirely to the war fund now being created by the Bellefonte Chap- ter, Daughters of the American Revo- lution. The Academy orchestra will furnish the music which in itself will give genuine pleasure, ——The dramatic critic of the “Watchman” takes this opportunity to call attention of lovers of good minstrelsy that Coburn’s Minstrels will show at Garman’s Tuesday night, April 30th. When this company ap- peared here last season it was on its first tour of Pennsylvania and in our judgment it was far and away super- ior to any minstrel aggregation that had ever played in Bellefonte; and this is saying a lot for our experience be- gan away back in the days of such companies as I.

Some- times I think it must be all a dream, but I always hope I will not awaken from it. “We fly constantly, except during the extremely hot hours ef the day when the air is too ‘lumpy.’ I ex- pect to pass the test for the Italian Eagle, a beautiful insignia. (A later letter states that “Casey” has passed this test). “I must tell you that while in Rome I stood on the spot where Caesar was killed and saw the places where Marc Anthony and other Romans distin- guished themselves in the days of long ago. “I can hardly wait until I get to doing real work over the lines, as I feel such confidence in myself. I am troubled about clothes, the only thing in wearing apparel I brought from France was heavy wool and now I am scouring the town for any old light-weight clothes I can find. This town has a population of 80,000 in- habitants, but the sanitary conditions were sadly neglected in building it. “Our time is near to take a dip to cool off so we have all decided to close our letters and pick some oranges.” Liberty Loan Meeting. There will be a Liberty loan meet- ing in the Methodist church at Storms- town, Wednesday evening, May 1st, | at eight o'clock, to be addressed by Dr. W. K. McKinney, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Beach and C. C. Shuey, all of Bellefonte.” Everybody invited to at- tend and make this a real, patriotic meeting. a Penn Township Boy Wounded France. On Wednesday forenoon Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Stover, of Penn township, received a telegram from the War De- partment announcing the fact that their son, Sergt. Gervis Effinger Sto- ver, had been wounded in action on April 13th. Sergt. Stover is with the U. S. marines, having re-enlisted in January after serving for three years. in —_— eee — Always a Fine Quartette. One of the most enjoyable features of J. A. Coburn’s Greater Minstrels every season is the splendid quartette of male voices appearing in a singing specialty in the olio. This season, with Lester Lucas, Edward C.

Bis- hop, each of whom are clever solo- ists, the Ragapation Four is without a doubt the finest quartette of sing- ers Manager Coburn has ever car- ried. the always welcome Coburn Minstrels next Tuesday, April 30th, at Gar- man’s. Great Musical Event for Bellefonte. Bellefonte music lovers will have an opportunity of hearing Gatty Sellars, the world-famed English organist, who will give an organ recital in the Methodist church on Thursday even- ing of next week for the benefit of the Red Cross. Cathedral chimes from the Queen’s hall, London, will be used with the organ. Mr. Sellars plays almost entirely from memory and included in his repertoire is the British patrol, the storm at sea, and various military effects. A crowded church should greet this wonderful organist. All seats at the popular price of 50 cents. LLL po se ais marin Dead Soldier Known in Snow Shoe. The first Lycoming county man lost in the world conflict was Freeman W. Bower, of the 6th regiment engineers. He was killed on the Western front Easter day. Private Bower has repeatedly visit- ed in Snow Shoe and it will be a source of consolation to his friends there to know that the War Depart- ment has communicated with his par- ents to the effect that he died gallant- ly and was buried with religious rites and military honors. Also, that his grave has been carefully marked and his body will be brought home for burial at the close of the war. : His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bower, of Montgomery, have the deepest sympathy of their many friends but can feel proud that their enlisted son was one of the bravest examples of what America has to give in the great conflict for liberty. % na Automobile Wrecked by Train. W. Calvin Meyer, of State College, had a narrow escape from death on Tuesday afternoon when his automo- bile was run down by the passenger train on the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad at the Ishler crossing in Ben- ner township and literally smashed into kindling wood. Mr. Meyers was thrown from the car but picked him- self up and was able to walk to the train. He suffered a few small cuts and bruises but was brought to Belle- fonte and was sent to the hospital. Remarkable as it may seem his inju- ries were very slight and he returned home on Wednesday morning. Mr. Meyers was on his way home from Bellefonte in his big Pilot car and when he got on the crossing his motor stalled and the car stopped dead. All his efforts to start the mo- tor proved futile and before he could jump the engine struck the car just forward of the windshield. It was hurled around into the ditch and par- ties who saw it afterwards aver that the only whole parts that were left were the tires. soo News of the, Soldiers The Pennsylvania troops, which in- cludes the boys from Bellefonte and Centre county, started on the move this week for a port of embarkation. Some of them are traveling north in big motor trucks and just when they will embark or at what port is un- known, but it is rumored that the en- tire division will be on ship-board within a fortnight. Word has been received in Belle- fonte that Dr. David Dale, who is still at Fort Oglethorpe but who antici- pates leaving soon, has been promot- ed to the rank of major. Word has been received of the safe arrival in France of Howard Rowland, and inasmuch as he and Basil Mott sailed at the same time it is presum- ed that the latter is also safe on the other side. Clayton Martz, a member . of the Machine Gun troop, arrived at his home at Tusseyville yesterday to see his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Martz. Some eight or ten other members of the troop also came home on seventy-two hour furloughs, the troop having arrived in New York after being four days and four nights on the road from Camp Hancock. Horace Hartranft is home from Camp Dix, N. J., on a brief furlough. Pete Saylor was among the Camp Hancock boys who arrived home yes- terday, and Robert Willard will be home on Sunday. All told, it is said, seventy-two of the boys will be given furloughs... icon io nw Don’t miss this number and day) Evening. | A Liberty Loan rally will be held in Bellefonte this (Friday) evening to | consist of a big parade followed by a meeting in the court house which will be addressed by Lieut.

Jonas E. Wagner has resigned his his position as supervising principal of the Bellefonte public schools to ac- cept a similar position at Beaver at an increase of $1,000 a year in salary, and Arthur H. Sloop, of the Bellefonte Academy, has been chosen as his suec- cessor. Mr. Wagner first came to Belle- fonte in 1902 and taught one year then was away a year returning in 1904. The following year he was made principal of the High school and in 1909 was elected to the position of supervising principal. Under his su- pervision the Bellefonte schools have leave here with the best wishes of his many friends for his future success. Mr. Sloop, who has been at the Bellefonte Academy a number of years as an instructor in physics and chemistry, and during the past few years has been assistant head master, is well known to the people of Belle- fonte and will without doubt make a very efficient supervising principal. Mr. Wagner anticipates leaving Belle- fonte on or about July first and Mr. Sloop will take charge of the school affairs at that time. 227 Men Graduate at State College. Two hundred and twenty-seven men graduated at the annual commence- ment held at State College this week. The exercises began on Sunday with the preaching of the baccalaureate sermon by Rev. Vandewater, of New York. The exercises during the week in- cluded the Junior oratorical contest on Monday evening, meeting of the board of trustees and alumni on Tuesday and the graduation exercis- es on Wednesday. A pleasant feature on Tuesday was a dinner given by members of the faculty at the Uni- versity club to Dr. H. P. Armsby, Dr. William Frear and Dr. G. G. Pond, all of whom have been on the college faculty thirty years. A pleasing and unexpected feature of the graduation exercises on Wed- nesday morning was the presentation to Dr. G. G. Pond, dean of the depart- ment of chemistry, of $5,000.00 in new Liberty bonds. It was an expres- sion of the affection in which he is held and the gratitude they feel for raining under him by a group of his old chemistry students, headed by W. H. Teas, of Teas, West Virginia. Three Centre County Towns Have Gone Over the Top. Three Centre county towns have gone over the top in the third Liberty loan. Unionville was the first to make this enviable record, and the other two towns are Port Matilda and Milesburg.

Milesburg had a big rally on Tues- day evening and sold $18,550 worth of bonds, against an allotment for Boggs township of $14,650. Toner A. Hugg was in charge of the big street parade which took place at seven o'clock.
