War Savings and Thrift Stamps
Pledge. Campaign.
The war savings and thrift stamps
pledge campaign is being waged in
Bellefonte and Centre county this
week and while it is now almost at an
end there is yet time to enter your
pledge if you have not already done
so. Centre county’s quota of war
savings and thrift stamps is $876,200.
But this amount is not to be made up
at once but during the entire year, or
before January Ist, 1919. To date
the county has taken just $164,865 in
war savings stamps, no record being
kept of the thrift stamps. The object
in securing pledges this week is to as-
certain as near as possible if the full
amount will be pledged for payment
during the year, because the larger
the amount pledged will stave off the
next Liberty loan just that much
longer.
During the week ending May 4th
Centre county’s per capita sales were
29 cents, making a total per capita of
$3.76 for the entire campaign. The
county still retains ninth place in the
State, but only by the narrow margin
of one cent over Snyder county. If
the county is to retain its position
there must be a more liberal buying
of the war savings stamps. The peo-
ple of the county did nobly by the
third Liberty loan, now let them do as
good in the pledge campaign this
week.
~The campaign was opened in Belle-
forite on Monday by W. Harrison
Walker, chairman, going out to the
Pennsylvania Match company at 12:30
o'clock to solicit pledges among the
employees. So heartily did the young
' ladies respond to his request that in
just one hour he had secured seventy-
two pledges, or an average of over
one a minute.
While the above was remarkably
good Mr. Walker had even better suc-
cess at the Abramsen Engineering
company Tuesday noon when in less
than an hour he secured pledges from
every man on the pay roll.

The following telegram received by
“W. Harrison Walker yesterday morn-
ing is self-explanatory:
Philadelphia, Pa., May, 15th.
W. Harrison Walker, Chairman Na-
tional War Savings Committee: *
«Received the following telegram
from Secretary McAdoo:
“Deeply interested in the success
of Pledge week in Pennsylvania, I
‘earnestly urge that every man, wom-
‘an and child in Pennsylvania save to
the limit of their ability and invest
their savings in war savings stamps.
Individual economy is essential to the
successful prosecution of the war and
1 hope that the good people: of your
State; in common with the good peo-
ple of every other section of the Unit-
ed States, will do everything possible
to support our gallant soldiers and
sailors who are offering their lives to
assure victory for America and the
cause of liberty and justice.’
«Qur responsibility is very great
‘owing to the fact that we are the only
district east of the Mississippi trying
Pledge week. We are being closely
watched by every State in the Union
and we must produce results”
ROBERT K. CASSATT,
State Director.
Soldiers in France Remembered Their
Mothers.
As evidence that the soldiers in
France have not forgotten theirsmoth-
ers hundreds of them cabled the Na-
tional Florists’ association in New
York ordering carnations to be sent
to their mothers for last Sunday. The
National Florists’ association on re-
ceiving the cabled order telegraphed
the individual orders all over the
country to the local florists who saw
that the carnations were delivered on
time. The one order coming in that
way to Bellefonte was from private
Charles E. Gates. The telegram was
received late Saturday evening by E.
J. Teaman, the former Bellefonte flor-
ist who promptly ordered the flowers
of Harry E. Yeager and they were de-
livered to the soldier’s mother, Mrs.
Charles L. Gates at 9:30 o'clock Sat-
urday night.
— Driving automobiles to market
is becoming about as familiar a sight
nowadays as driving cattle to market
used to be years ago. For instance,
on Sunday a string of twelve Repub-
lic trucks were driven through Belle-
fonte from the factory at Flint,
Mich., to the dealer at Reading, and
yesterday Charles F. Beatty with a
* bunch of drivers left for Cleveland,
Ohio, to bring home a string of Ford
cars.

chapel at the Boal home at Boalsburg
by Rev. Father O'Hanlon. Their
marriage was quite a surprise to Miss
de Legarde’s many friends in Centre
county who did not know that she was
even contemplating matrimony. Their
honeymoon was spent at York Village,
Maine, and the latter part of the sum-
mer at Boalsburg.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson spent most
of the winter at the Boal home in
Washington, where Capt. Boal, who
was in training at Camp Hancock,
joined them as often as possible. In
fact the captain was with them up
until Tuesday of last week when Mrs.
Johnson’s condition was so favorable
that he left for France. Owing to the
inability to reach him by wireless he
will not know of Mrs. Johnson’s death
until his arrival in France.
In addition to her husband she is
survived by her little son and two sis-
ters, Mrs. Theodore Davis Boal, of
Boalsburg, the other married and liv-
ing in Russia. The remains were
brought to Centre county on Saturday
morning and taken to the Boal home
at Boalsburg and later to the
Boal chapel where they were viewed
by hundreds of people from Boals-
burg and vicinity. The funeral mass
at ten o’clock on Sunday morning was
celebrated by Father O’Hanlon, after
which the body was placed in the fam-
ily vault underneath the chapel.
In view of the fact that Mrs. John-
son had arranged to make her perma-
nent home at Boalsburg her husband
and his children will also make that
their future home.

Some twelve or fifteen of the stu-
dents who recently graduated at State
College ‘have enlisted in the signal
corps of the U. S. army. Among
the number was John Harper, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Jared Harper, of this

ing field at College Park, Md.

dozen boys of the Bellefonte High
school. Every one of them is in the

triotic, as practically all of them have
decided to go to Williamsport right
after commencement and enlist for
service in the various branches of the
navy.

What a Soldier Has to Carry.
Now that so many Centre county
boys are either on their way to France
or soon will be it may be interesting
for their friends at home to know just
what equipment they are sent away
with. The following list has. been
handed the “Watchman” and after
you have read it all over just imag-
ine how you would go about packing
everything into a compact bundle so
that it can be carried by the soldier,
as each soldier is not only equipped
with the above but must carry it, too:

sack, 3 blankets, belt, 2 pair woolen

Hayes Schenck to z be Discharged
Next Week.
On Wednesday of next week, May
22nd, the two years’ term in the pen-
itentiary of Hayes Schenck will ex-
pire and he will likely be discharged
from the Rockview institution that
day. Mr. Schenck, who was a justice
of the peace at Howard, was convict-
ed at the February term of court,
1916, of conspiring and making false
returns of bounty probates. He ap-
plied for a new trial but at the May
term of court he withdrew his appli-
cation and entered a plea of guilty.
He was sentenced on Monday, May
22nd, 1916, to serve two years in the
western penitentiary. He was taken
out to the old institution at Pittsburgh
but was not there long until he was
brought back to Centre county and
taken to the Rockview institution.
When first taken to Rockview he
was put to work with a pick and shov-
el, and although he could not do the
amount of work performed by young-
er men he made no attempt to shirk
and the result was that in due course
of time he was given lighter work to
do until finally he was made a sort of
janitor at the death house. The for-
mer ‘Squire has been in good health
during the period of his incarceration
and looks better than he has for
years. While his plans for the future
are not known it is highly probable
that when discharged he will return
to his home at Howard.
