It has always been difficult to keep the street in question and the grounds around the station in good condition, while to pave the same will solve the question for years to come. ——An automobile owned and driv- en by George Tate, of Yeagertown, was wrecked on the state road near the old Titan Metal company plant on Sunday afternoon. The machine was a new one, having been purchas- ed by Mr. Tate less than a week ago. The latter claims that the steering apparatus stuck which caused the ac- cident. Nobody was injured but the right side of the machine was badly damaged. ——Pursuant to a call of the gov- ernment for additional doctors for the medical reserve corps the Centre County Medical Society held a meet- ing last week to find out if any addi- tional physicians can be spared from Centre county. Unfortunately only a few physicians were present and practically all of them were beyond the age limit. Major Huff, who was dis- charged from the service, stated that notwithstanding that fact he is ready and willing to volunteer for service either at home or abroad, if the gov-. ernment will take him. Prof. S. C. Miller, of Chester, writes the “Watchman” that his fath- er, ‘Squire D. W. Miller, of Pine Grove Mills, underwent a very successful operation in the Chester hospital last Friday morning for the removal of a growth of several years development, and was getting along in such fine shape that he was allowed solid food en Sunday. This is considered re- markable when the fact is considered that Mr. Miller is seventy-two years old. The operation “ook place on the anniversary of the wvattle of Chancel- lorsville, in which he was wounded. REN $862,450 FOR CENTRE COUNTY DISTRICT. ° County Went Over the Top With Al- most 50 Per Cent. More Than Quota. Subscriptions to the third Liberty loar in the Centre county district will reach $862,450, almost 50 per cent. more than the allotment of $600,000. The several towns in the district re- port subscriptions as follows: BD CHE ONE ave tet ii Cian iics $ 420,350 State College ........vcivinnrverses 35,860 Snow Shoe Bank: .........cce.rt:.0. 61,300 Millheim Banking Co....... 57,800 Farmers National, Millheim ,300 Floward: .....ccoiiic. isis 45,850 Cenfre Hall ..........c...cc ua 37,000 Subscriptions amounting to $22,000, made through the Lehigh Valley Coal Co., should be added to those from Snow Shoe, although reported outside the district. A further addition to the figures given above will be that of the employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad in the district aggregating $26,000. This brings the total to $862,450. The amount should be fur- ther increased by sales of upwards of $10,000 from Worth township, which were made through the Tyrone banks, and credited to the Blair county dis- trict, the subscribers refusing to sub- scribe through the Centre county banks. The Advisory committee for Pennsylvania has sent the following telegram to chairman Chas. M. Mec- Curdy: “At the close of this momentous cam- paign we cannot begin to adequately ex- press our appreciation of the magnificent work you and every man in your organ- ization have done in your district, espe- cially in the width of your distribution, inasmuch as every buyer becomes a staunch and understanding supporter of the government. We congratulate you, and knowing something of the difficulties you have labored under, we shall be glad to convey to Governor Passmore your final totals, when tabulated, so that he may have complete knowledge of the full measure of thanks that are due in this service to your God and your country.” In commenting on the above and the campaign in general Mr. McCur- dy said: “This message of thanks and con- gratulation from the Advisory com- mittee should be taken as a personal tribue by every committeeman and committee-woman in the district; for it is to their intelligent and persist- ent efforts that we owe the success of the subscription. The thanks of the chairman and of the general commit- tee are due all of the patriotic work- rs, whose services as solicitors and speakers have produced such good re- sults. The work of the women is to be especially commended, while the figures are not at present available, their work was important, and their efforts added materially to the grand total.” The list of subscribers contains al- most 4,000 names, showing the wide patriotic interest in the loan. The above figures do not include Philips- burg, which is outside this district. REPORT OF WOMAN’S COMMITTEE.

Get Ready for Red Cross Campaign. The. Red Cross will conduet a cam- paign during the week beginning May 20th to raise a war fund of $100,000,- 000. The amount allotted for the Bellefonte Chapter and its auxiliaries is $15,000, which means an average of about $3.50 for each member. It would be well for each of us to lay aside a little change every day so that we may be ready to contribute our share when the campaign opens. Another Automobile Accident. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Brinmyer and Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland, of the pen- itentiary at Rockview, had a mnar- row escape in an automobile accident on Logan street about 9:30 o’clock on Wednesday evening. They came to Bellefonte in Mr. Brinmyer’s Ford car and when they got to the inter- section of Logan and Spring streets the driver turned east on Logan street. In front of Harry Flack's residence he ran into the curb on the south side of the street which turned the car quickly to the left and before Mr. Brinmyer could get control of the steering wheel the car plunged through the fence into the garden of Mrs. Fred Smith. Fortunately it landed against an apple tree which kept it from upsetting. None of the occupants were thrown out and aside from a general shaking up were un- injured. The car, however, was somewhat. damaged. “The Kaiser, the Beast of Ber- lin,” will be shown in motion pictures at the Scenic on Thursday and Friday, May 23rd and 24th. This is a picture that will make the blood of any man boil, if he has any red blood in him. Don’t forget the dates. In the mean- time remember that every evening! there is a program of good pictures at ; the Scenic, so that you can’t go amiss.

They will leave the College at six o’clock. —In yesterday’s casualty lists of the killed in battle in France appear- ed the name of John Deardosky, of Hecla. The “Hecla” referred to is probably the town by that name in Schuylkill county, as no man by the above name has been sent from Cen- tre county. ——Edgar Miles, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Miles, of Milesburg, who is with the engineers in France, was at the front when the Germans start- ed their big drive on March 21st and saw some real fighting. Recently he was relieved of active duty -and sent to an engineering school for officers. ——1In renewing his subscription to the “Watchman” postmaster D. M. Kerlin, of Rudd, Iowa, writes: “I see you have some pretty old readers. Now I am sixty-six years old and have read the “Watchman” ever since I could read anything, so I guess I am an old reader too. As you see, I am holding the office of postmaster in our town.” And we just want to add that it is the constancy of the old readers of the “Watchman” that makes us feel that we are putting out the best county paper published. ——b500 tickets must be sold for the Harmonic club concert before work can be begun by the Patriotic League, in sewing for Belgium orphans.

Do not fail to hear them in the High school auditorium, Monday evening, May 20th. : : ——Sheriff Yarnell this week re- ceived a letter from one of the young .men who were sent to Camp Lee on Tuesday morning of last week in which he said that the squad all ar- rived at the cantonment in good con- dition, and when they ' disembarked from the train and fell into ranks to march to the commanding general’s headquarters to report they attract- ed considerable attention and were glad they had been drilled by Col. Taylor during their stay in Belle- fonte. They were also complimented upon being the finest body of rookies to arrive at the camp. ——Amos Fye, of Waddle, was dis- charged from the national army can- tonment at Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., last week owing to physical de- bility. Fye failed to appear in Belle- fonte when first called for service by the local exemption board. Later it was learned that he had gone to Mif- flin county and was working near Lewistown. On February 27th he was inducted into service by the local board and went with the Mifflin coun- ty contingent to Camp Lee. He later deserted and was captured in April at Lewistown. He was returned to Camp Lee on April 12th, and now after three week’s service has been discharged and sent home. at i, ——The horticultural editor of the “Watchman” predicts a good crop of fruit this year, as well as of all vege- tables that grow from the blossom, and also a good supply of honey. Notwithstanding the fact that the winter was a hard one the bees seem to have weathered it all right and come out good and strong, and now they can be seen by the hundreds working on the fruit trees and flow- ers. Last spring was so cold and wet that many bees perished and few of them could be seen working anywhere. The result was a small fruit crop and little honey stored during the forepart of the year. Bees not only make hon- ey but in gathering the nectar from the blossoms they carry the pollen which renders the blossom fruitful. ——Place your order for carnations for Mother’s day at Yeager’s. 19-1t ——Two postoffice inspectors have been in Bellefonte most of the week instructing the force at the Bellefonte _postoffice in the matter of keeping ac- counts and making reports on the war savings and thrift stamps, etc. Un- der a recent ruling the Bellefonte postoffice is a regular clearing house for all the third and fourth class of- fices in Centre county, not only fur- nishing them with their supplies but clearing their sales of war savings and thrift stamps. The result is the clerical work of the Bellefonte office has been deubled, inasmuch as reports must be made daily. For this reason it is essential that each day’s report be entirely accurate. The mission of the inspectors here was to explain the best and easiest methods of com- piling and making out these returns. 2 of Financially Involved Horace M. Mus- ser Left Bellefonte Suddenly. Financially involved Horace M. Musser left Bellefonte quite suddenly and unexpectedly and his present whereabouts are unknown. It is known, however, that he left Belle- fonte on Sunday, April 28th, ostensi- bly to visit his daughter in Altoona, but last Friday J. Kennedy Johnston Esq., received a letter from him post- marked East St. Louis in which he admitted that he had left Bellefonte because he was involved financially to such an extent that he could not see his way out and hence decided to leave. He requested Mr. Johnston to take charge of his books and his bus- iness affairs, stating that it was his purpose to go to work somewhere and as soon as he could save the money would make good every cent he owed. Just how deeply Mr. Musser is in- volved has not yet been determined. After the death of his father several years ago he succeeded him for jus- tice of the peace in the North ward, serving out the unexpired term. He also succeeded to his father’s insur- ance ‘business, as tax collector for the borough of Milesburg and agent for quite a number of property owners in Bellefonte. As tax collector for Milesburg he was under bond in the sum of $5,000 with the American Sureties company, and a representa- tive of that company as well as rep- resentatives of the insurance compa- nies for which Mr. Musser was agent have been in Bellefonte this week try- ing to unravel his tangled affairs but so far they have not succeeded to that extent where any definite statement can be made. A comparison of his tax duplicate and receipt book shows some discrep- ancies while during the past week several parties have gone to the treas- urer’s office with receipts for taxes paid Mr. Musser on lands now being advertised at treasurer’s sale for un- paid taxes; and this notwithstanding the fact that his sworn statement is on file in the County Commissioner’s office that said taxes were due and unpaid. Whether any effort will be made to locate Mr. Musser and bring him back is not yet known. Academy Minstrels Play at the Penitentiary. - It is a remarkable exception to the general rule that inmates of a penal institution are accorded the privilege of hearing and seeing a good minstrel show, yet that is just what the prison- ers at the new penitentiary at Rock- view did last Saturday evening when the Bellefonte Academy minstrels, who gave three good performances in Bellefonte several weeks ago, gave a performance at the Rockview insti- tution. The big sleeping dormitory was transformed into a theatre by the erection of a stage, with all the nec- essary scenery and lighting effects. The minstrels went to Rockview in motor busses and automobiles, leav- ing Bellefonte about 5:30 o’clock. They landed at the penitentiary about six o'clock and while they were get- ting ready for the opening perform- ance an automobile drove up with six young ladies attired as Red Cross nurses. This fact very much alarm- ed the guards, and some of the prison officials, as it is absolutely against the rules to allow a woman inside of any of the penitentiary buildings. Finally deputy warden Healy was ap- pealed to to know what to do and when he went to consult headmaster James R. Hughes regarding the mat- ter he was tipped off to the fact that the Red Cross nurses were Academy students in women’s attire. The performance began shortly be- fore seven o’clock and continued for two hours and if the applause given the amateur players can be taken as a criterion the prisoners certainly en- joyed the entertainment and the stu- dents were well repaid for their ef- forts to bring a little sunshine into the lives of the more than seven hun- dred inmates of the penitentiary. The minstrels returned to Bellefonte short- ly after nine o’clock. Andrew Lytle Badly Injured in a Fall. Andrew Lytle, one of the best known men of College township, was badly injured in a fall from a tree one day last week and is likely to be housed up for some time to come. He was trimming trees and had sawed a big limb in on both sides. He then put one foot on the limb to break it off but it wouldn’t break and he start- ed to saw the top of it. The limb gave way unexpectedly with: the re- sult that Mr. Lytle lost his hold on the tree and fell to the ground a distance of twelve or fourteen feet. His right collar bone was broken, two or three ribs fractured and he was badly bruised and shaken up. Mr. Lytle is about seventy years of age and his injuries are therefore more serious than they would be for a man younger in years. ror — me Centre Hall High School Commence- ment.

Bellefonte’s Honor Flag Unfurled. With little ceremony and practical- ly no fuss at all Bellefonte’s Liberty loan honor flag was unfurled to the breeze at eight o'clock on Monday evening, and the committee which had the affair in charge selected as the mpst appropriate place to hang it the large bronze statue of Governor Cur- tin in front of the soldiers’ monument. The staff of the flag was stuck un- der the arm of the statue and tied in such a way that it looks as if the replica of the great War Governor were holding the flag shaft with pride at what Centre county did toward the third Liberty loan. con mm Meat Markets Will Close at Six O’clock.
