Mrs. Parker, of Somerset,
mother of G. Ross Parker, of this
place, has probably achieved a record
for knitting socks not equalled by any
‘other woman in the State. She will
: be eighty-nine years old on her next
‘ birthday and is now working on her:
seventy-sixth pair of socks. And we
venture the assertion that the boys
in khaki who were fortunate enough
to get a pair of the socks found them
of the best.
——DBellefonte friends of Joseph A.
Twitmire, son of Mr. Wilbur T. Twit-
mire, of this place, will be glad to
knew that he is recovering very nicely
from injuries sustained several weeks
ago in a railroad wreck. He is still
in the Lock Haven hospital but able
to walk around and the best part of
all is that both his arm and his hand
were saved, and will probably be so
restored that he will have complete
use of both members. In fact he is
already planning to return to his work
as an engineer on the Pennsylvania
railroad just as soon as he recovers
the use of his hand and arm.
Five Thousand People Attend Pa-
triotic Rally in Bellefonte Last
Friday Evening.
Liberty Loan day last Friday was
celebrated by the people of Bellefonte
with a big patriotic rally in the even-
ing which was attended by at least
five thousand people.
ture of the gathering was a parade
which took place at 7:30 o’clock. The
parade formed at the High school
building and was composed as fol-
lows:
The speakers and guests in automo-
biles. Chief marshall H. S. Taylor
and aides; Our Girls band of Miles-
burg; Bellefonte Chapter Red Cross;
Our Boys band of Milesburg; Logan
and Undine fire companies massed;
Bellefonte Academy students, Belle-
| fonte band, P. O. S. of A., Bellefonte
| Lodge of Moose, the Red Men and pu-
pils of the public schools. Over a
thousand people were in line and the
parade moved south on Allegheny
street to the Diamond, west to the
railroad, countermarched to Spring
street, south on Spring to Bishop,
Bishop to Allegheny and north to the
Diamond where the parade was dis-
missed.
Immediately thereafter two meet-
ings were held, one in the court house
and one in the opera house. Charles
M. McCurdy presided at the former
and W. Harrison Walker at the lat-
ter. The chief speakers were Lieut.
P. G. Might, of the 18th Canadian in-
fantry, who was invalided home after
two years’ service in the trenches,
and Dr. George P. Bible, who just re-
turned from a trip to France.
In his talk Lieut. Might told of the
patriotism of the Canadians when a
call came from the mother country
for men, money and munitions. At
the time he was superintendent of one
of the largest schools in Toronto, with
over a thousand students in his
charge. He, along with thousands of
others, responded to the call and were
among the second contingent to be
sent overseas. They got some train-
ing in England and a little in France
but it was not many weeks until they
were sent to the front and got their
baptism of fire in the front line
trenches. At that time the Germans
had control of the air and were able
to direct their artillery fire where it
would do the greatest destruction,
while the British artillery could only
fire at random. He told of the Ca-
nadians having been driven back at
one point but on a counter-attack re-
took the lost ground and some more,
and it was at that time that they
found that one of their men, who had
been taken prisoner by the Germans,
had been crucified by nailing him to
a tree. And while surrounding his
dead body his comrades took oath that
they would never take a German pris-
oner, and they kept their word. He
told of the capture of Vimy Ridge, a
duty assigned to the Canadians, and
though it cost them dear in killed
and wounded it was taken and today
is held as a monument of the Cana-
dian’s bulldog tenacity.
The Lieut. also paid a glowing trib-
ute to the French and British soldiers
and said that he had not the least
doubt about what the American sol-
diers would do. He spoke, however,
of the urgent necessity of getting
more men there as quickly as possi-
ble, but even more than that the ur-
gent need of ample supplies and
equipment for those now there and
those being sent. And it was then he
made his plea for the Liberty loan.
He urged the people to be patriotic
and stand by their country in this
fight. That only by so doing can the
war be won, and won in the shortest
possible time.
When the lieutenant had finished
speaking to the crowd in the court
house he went to the opera house and
Col. J. L. Spangler gave a brief talk
until the appearance of Dr. George P.
Bible. The latter told of his trip to
France and what he had seen of the
American troops. He spoke of them
as being a fine lot of soldiers, but
also urged that our people here as
well as elsewhere show their patriot-
ism by subscribing liberally to the
Liberty loan as well as in the pur-
chase of war savings and thrift
stamps.
Both the court house and the opera
house meetings were largely attended
and it is to be hoped that they will be
fruitful of results.

A leading fea- |.
BIG LIBERTY LOAN MEETING. (Sent to Jail for Furnishing Men
Liquor.
James Fetters, of Bellefonte, and
Richard Jodon, of Milesburg, were
fined $50 each at a session of court
yesterday morning and sent to jail for
ninety days by Judge Quigley for fur-
nishing liquor to men of known intem-
perate habits.
Fetters purchased a bottle of whis-
key at the Brant house on Tuesday
and gave it to Joseph Turner. He
was arrested by policeman Yeager.
Jodon bought a bottle of whiskey at
the Bush house on Wednesday and
gave it to Harry Kline. He was ar-
rested by chief of police Harry Duke-
man.
At the hearing yesterday morning
Jodon stated that he was working in
the limestone quarries and made from
$5.00 to $9.00 a day and that he
bought the whiskey for Kline simply
to get a drink. The hotels were not
implicated as both Jodon and Fetters
were legally entitled to buy the whis-
key.
Runville Residents Excited Over Mys-
terious Strangers.
Residents of Runville and vicinity
have been considerably worked up this
week over what they consider very
mysterious actions of two strangers
who have been in that locality most of
the week. They aver that they ram-
ble through the woods during the day,
sleep in an old barn or wherever they
can find shelter at night and as far
as eating goes no one has seen them
eat at all.
The two men were in Bellefonte
early in the week and interviewed
Frank P. Blair, asking permission to
look over his lands in Boggs town-
ship. They stated that they ‘were
from Northumberland county and
were interested in starting a birch dis-
tilling plant, and were on the hunt of
birch wood. They stated that in a
casual look through the woods out in
the locality of Runville they had seen
some birch and they wanted the privi-
lege of making a thorough survey.
While so far as known Mr. Blair did
not grant them the privilege of mak-
ing a survey, he didn’t forbid them
going on his land, and it is since they
were to see him that they have been
scouring the woods in that locality.
Whether the men told the truth
about their mission is not known, but
so far as can be learned they have
done nothing to warrant any action
being taken against them. In fact it
is just possible that they are honest
in what they represented and if birch
is found in sufficient quantity a dis-
tilling plant may be built.
Hurt in Automobile Accident.
Thomas S. Williams, superintend-
ent of the Titan Metal company, had
a close call for his life on Monday
evening. He left the plant about 5:25
o’clock to go to his home at the Forge
house and jumped onto the running
board of the big Titan truck. When
opposite his home he jumped off the
truck just as Clyde Lambert in his
Maxwell car attempted to pass it.
The men called to Williams but it
was too late and he was knocked
down in such a way that when the car
was stopped one front wheel was right
on his back. Edward Kelley jumped
from the truck and alone lifted that
corner of the car and held it while
other workmen pulled Williams from
his perilous position. It was feared
his back was broken but an examina-
tion at the hospital, where he was
rushed as soon as possible, disclosed
the fact that not a bone was broken
and all his injuries were. external and
superficial. It was a very miraculous
escape and it is the hope of Mr. Wil-
liams’ friends that he will soon be
around as good as ever.
On Monday evening a car driven by
Frank Grebe, of Philipsburg, al-
most ran into John S. Walker's
car at the viaduct of the Central Rail-
road of Pennsylvania extension near
the McCalmont & Co. office, and to
keep from doing so Mr. Grebe was
compelled to run his car up the bank
against a tree. None of the occupants
were injured but the Grebe car was
badly damaged.
Going Over the Top.
The Liberty loan campaign will
close tomorrow (Saturday) evening
and if Centre county people make a
Garrison finish, which now looks
plausible, the county will surely go
over the top of its allotment. So far
the response has been general and lib-
eral. Notwithstanding the few slack-
ers that are to be found in every com-
munity, Bellefonte included, the peo-
ple have been behind this loan and the
final result will no doubt be very sat-
isfactory. In fact when the total re-
ports are in it is believed, that they
will show that Centre county, now as
always, has shown her loyalty and pa-
triotism in a most decisive manner.
But this is no reason why you should
not buy bonds up until the sale closes
tomorrow evening.
Snow Shoe is another Centre coun-
ty town that has gone over the top
Its quota was $48,750 and it has pur-
chased $61,000 worth of bonds.
Milesburg’s total is now over $20.-
000 and they are still working.
At the meeting held at Julian last
Saturday evening enough bonds were
sold to put Huston township $1,300
ahead of its allowance.
The employees of the Chemical and
Centre County Lime companies have
taken $4,000 worth of bonds.
On Tuesday little Margaret Haupt,
of this place, went to one of the gen-
tlemen selling bonds in Bellefonte and
told him she wanted a fifty dollar
bond. When asked how she wanted
to pay for it she replied, “in cash,”
and produced the fifty dollars. She
is now on the list and will soon be a
United States bondholder.

NATIONAL ARMY MEN LEAVE.
Forty-two Young Men Sent Away
Tuesday to Camp Lee.
Forty-two more young men of Cen-
tre county were sent away on Tues-
day afternoon for service in the na-
tional army, the contingent going to
Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va. Of the
men summoned last week to appear
here on Monday, James F. Shook, of
Spring Mills, was discharged, and
Henry M. Fleming, of Philipsburg;
Arthur J. Heaton, of Howard, and
Philip D. Jones, of State College, fail-
ed to appear. In their place, how-
ever, were summoned Dorsey John-
ston, of Philipsburg, and John F. Wil-
bur, of Millheim, while B. C. Evey, of
Akron, Ohio, was inducted into the
service as a special. There being an
extra man at the train John Bryan, of
Milesburg, was sent home for the
time being.
The young men answered to the roll
call Monday morning and in the after-
noon were given a half hour’s drill in
the armory by Col. H. S. Taylor.
Shortly after three o’clock they were
marched up street to in front of the
court house where a group picture was
taken of them, one of the boys hold-
ing in his arms H. C. Valentines bull-
dog as a mascott.
Monday evening the boys were giv-
en a farewell banquet at the Garman
house at which the following guests
were present in addition to the mem-
bers of the local exemption board:
Deputy warden Fred B. Healy, of the
western penitentiary; Judge Henry C.
Quigley, Col. H. S. Taylor, Major S.
M. Huff, Capt. H. Laird Curtin, Bur-
gess W. Harrison Walker and ex-Bur-
gess Edmund Blanchard, all of whom
made brief addresses to the young
men. Before leaving the dining room
the young men sang the “Star Span-
gled Banner,” and before going to bed
that night they gathered in groups on
the street and sang various songs.
Tuesday morning the young men
were given another half hour’s drill
by Col. Taylor and immediately after
dinner they assembled in the Diamond
and led by Stuart M. Breon, who had
been placed in charge of the squad,
they marched to the depot under es-
cort of the Boys band where they
were given a rousing send off before
they embarked on the Lewisburg and
Tyrone train for their trip to Camp
Lee.
At the train Sheriff Yarnell gave
each man a khaki handkerchief with
the compliments of the Fauble Store,
while J. C. McCargar distributed
cigarettes among the boys.
In commendation of the patriotism
of the young men of Centre county it
might be said that of the forty-two
young men sent away nine of them re-
quested that they be advanced ahead
of others so that they could go at this
time, and before leaving two of the
crowd invested all their savings in
Liberty bonds.
MORE MEN CALLED FOR SERVICE.
The local exemption board this
week summoned the following men to
appear in Bellefonte on Monday, May
13th, to make up Centre county’s quo-
ta of twelve men to be sent to Colum-
bus barracks, Columbus, Ohio, on

Two Fifty Year Members Awarded
Badges.
At a special meeting of the Belle-
fonte Lodge I. O. O. F., last Thursday
evening, County Commissioner Isaac
Miller and C. T. Gerberich were each
presented with gold badges as me-
mentoes of the fact that they had each
rounded out fifty years as members of
the Lodge. Mr. Miller became a
member of the Bellefonte Lodge in
January, 1868, and Mr. Gerberich
joined in February of the same year.
The badges presented are of gold, en-
ameled in blue with the figures 50 in
the centre and duly inscribed on the
back with the name and date of mem-
bership. The badge is suspended from
a three-link bar and pin.
The presentation speech was made
by J. Kennedy Johnston Esq., and oth-
er members present paid tribute to
the faithfulness of both men to their
obligations to the I. 0. O. F. Mr.
Miller and Mr. Gerberich are the first
members of the Bellefonte Lodge to
receive the half-century badges, and
they are to be congratulated not only
upon that fact, but that they are still
in such good health that their Lodge
may profit by their wise counsel and
active participation in its delibera-
tions for years to come.
——The North ward baseball team
won the first game in the Red Cross
league series on Tuseday evening by’
defeating the South ward aggrega-
tion 6 to 4. Only four innings were
played owing to the rain and dark-
ness. This (Friday) evening the
South and West ward teams will lock
horns on Hughes field. Go out and
see the contest. The price of admis-
sion is small and the money is for the
Red Cross, a most worthy cause.
——The big crowds attending the
Scenic every evening are ample proof
of the character of the pictures shown
there. Nothing like them is shown
anywhere else in Bellefonte. They in-
clude some of the biggest serials put
out by the best companies today, the
Pathe weekly of current events and
many others just as interesting. A
visit to the Scenic will convince any-
one of the high quality of the pictures.

——Some time ago the government
took over the entire output of the
Bull Durham brand of tobacco from
the American Tobacco company and
finding it insufficient the Tuxedo brand
has now been taken over, dating May
first. The American tobacco company
announces that inasmuch as the gov-
ernment has now arranged for an ad-
equate supply of tobacco for the sol-
diers no more orders from private in-
dividuals or firms will be accepted.
The fact that the soldiers will thus be
supplied with tobacco will also be a
relief to those who have friends in
the service and who have been unable
to send them tobacco owing to the re-
strictions on mail service.
For Sale.—Bead room set, oil cook
stove, two hat racks, typewriter and
table, carpet and lot of pictures.
Must be sold this week or early next.
