Interesting Letters from Two Belle-
fonte Soldiers with the Expe-
ditionary Force.
Somewhere in France, May 21.
I just thought I would drop you a
line tonight, even though it is about
, 8.30 o'clock and still daylight, owing
'to the fact that the same thing hap-
pened to the clocks in this country
first of April.

' going fine with me “over here,” as we
sephine McGowan and James Barry :
Case, of Washington, D. C., will be
solemnized in St. John’s
church, Bellefonte, Wednesday morn-
ign, June 19th.
——A flag raising was held at the
Fairview church three miles north of
Curtin on Sunday afternoon. The
speakers were Col. H. S. Taylor and
Mrs. Robert Mills Beach. Our Girls
band of Milesburg furnished the mu-
sic.
——Just as the first side of last
week’s edition of the “Watchman” was
printed the motor which drives the
press went out of commission and
through the courtesy of the Keystone
Gazette the paper was finished on its
press.
——Miss Emilie Eleanor Owens, a
daughter of Major and Mrs. Arthur
Burneston Owens, and J. Chandler
Barnard, of Bryn Mawr, who were
married in Philadelphia Wednesday,
were among the guests at the Walk-
er-Bible wedding in Bellefonte two
weeks ago. Mr. Bernard is a nephew
of John S. Walker.
While engaged in sewing at her
home on east High street on Wednes-
day morning Miss Pearl Baumgard-
ner ran a needle between the little and
third finger of her right hand, break-
ing the point of it off. A physician
was summoned who managed to ex-
tract the broken-off point without the
necessity of making an incision.
——This is Flag Day. Hang out
your flags in honor of the day. And
if they are old, faded and disreputa-
ble looking, replace them with new
ones. Now, more than ever before,
should the people of this country
show their patriotism by a proper ob-
servance of the day and by showing
due respect and honor to the flag.
The Bellefonte Chapter D. A. R.
will celebrate Flag day with a picnic
dinner at the Country club this (F'ri-
day) evening. Each member is priv-
ileged to take one guest, the married
members their husbands, and those
who are not married either a lady or
gentleman guest. Col. J. L. Spangler
and Col. H. S. Taylor will be the
speakers for the evening.
——The treasurer’s sale of unseated
lands was well attended on Monday
but at that all the tracts were not dis-
posed of and the sale was adjourned
until June 28th. In the sale of seated
lands the property of the Martha Lane
estate on east Linn street was sold
to Harry Keller for $850 in addition
to the taxes, costs, etc. The taxes
against the property are $414.86.
On Tuesday night some person
broke into John C. Mulfinger’s home
at Pleasant Gap and stole his revol-
ver and all his cartridges, and inas-
much as practically nothing else was
disturbed it is believed that the thief
was the prisoner who escaped from
the penitentiary on Sunday evening.
Whoever he was, however, he went
about his job very quietly. Mr. Mul-
finger is a very light sleeper but he
was not disturbed in any way by his
nocturnal visitor.
One hundred and seventy-four
motor mechanics who have been
studying at State College for the avi-
ation department of the U. S. signal
service, left on Wednesday morning
for Washington, D. C. The most of
the men were from Minnesota, and
many of them of Sweedish nativity.
They were a husky bunch and will un-
doubtedly make good wherever plac-
ed. They were sent to Tyrone from
Bellefonte on a special train, and their
destination after reaching Washing-
ton was unknown.
——ULast week the “Watchman”
told of a number of High school boys
intending to go to Williamsport on
Saturday to enlist. The five who
went were John Cunningham, Fred-
erick Daggett, Gregg Sheldon, Her-
bert Beezer and John Shith. Smith
failed to pass the physical examina-
tion and Herbert Beezer was turned
down because he was six months too
young. The other three passed the
examination but John Cunningham
had to go into the army instead of the
navy on account of being shy two
molars.
——Rev. and Mrs. Robert Bruce
Reed arrived in New York direct from
France on Wednesday. Mrs. Reed was
formerly Miss Anne Blanchard, of
this place, and within a year after her
marriage to Rev. Reed they went to
Syria to do missionary work. When
the war broke out they made their es-
cape from that country and after a
- perilous and nerve-racking journey
they finally landed in France and
have been doing war work there ever
since. From New York they went di-
rect to Rev. Reed’s old home in Clear-
field county and later will visit Cen-
tre county friends.
——The Young Women’s Mission-
ary seciety of the Presbyterian
church has postponed the lawn festi-
val to have been held largely for the
benefit of Miss Bertha Laurie’s can-
teen work in the American sector in
France, where many local boys are
now located, from Saturday evening,
June 15th, to Tuesday evening, June
18th, on the chapel lawn, when the
original program will be carried out.
Ice cream, cake and strawberries will
be served. Music will be furnished
by the Harmonic club and the pubilc
is cordially invited to enjoy the pleas-
ures of the evening.

Catholic !
But when we are all working for a
good cause, and know we are right,
we can all put forth efforts and ener-
gy never before known to us.
The other day while pursuing my
regular duties I was about to address
an officer and whom do you suppose it
was? Well, none other than Lieut.
“Dick” Taylor, our good, old lieuten-
ant of cavalry days. Upon inquiry
around the camp at which I am now
located I came across the following:
Second Lieut. Yeager, who bears his
bars very well; Pete Saylor, Bob Wil-
lard, Percy Miller, “Boots” Nolan,
“Tub” Lyon, Guy Lyon, Lee Lyon,
Johnny Woods and “Tillie” Deitrick,
as well as a few of the boys who used
to be in the Boal machine gun outfit.
Everyone was in good shape and
stood the trip across fine. Of course,
one or two of them missed a meal,
they said. I almost forgot, but I also
met our old Sergeant Reynolds, now
Lieut. Reynolds, but we are all home
boys over here and I had quite a chat
with him. The most of the boys are
leaving this camp and going to anoth- !
er, so I guess I will be alone until I
meet some one else I know.
I had a letter from “Whitey” Mus- |
ser the other day and he said he and
Buck Smith and Sam Rhinesmith are
all doing fine and like it very much,
80 you see we are all in the best of
spirits and condition. I was telling a
Tommie today that I don’t believe I
ever felt better in my life, so you see
how fit I am.
I was sorry I did not get to see Bob
Garman and the boys in the old 109th
artillery, but perhaps I will get a
chance later, at least I hope so. I re-
ceived letters from home today and
they are always very welcome. I
hope everything is going along all
right in old Bellefonte. Will close
now with love to all and kind remem-
brances to all old friends.
CHAS. E. GATES.
FRANCE A
COUNTRY.
Am now located in an old-fashion-
ed village “Somewhere in France,”
and it certainly is a nice place. The
THINKS BEAUTIFUL
people treat us fine and try hard to |
make us feel at home. Of course one
feels like a deaf and dumb man when
he first gets here; can’t understand
the people and they can’t understand
us. But we are picking up enough
French to make ourselves understood.
What we can’t say in words we make
them understand by making motions,
and they sure are some motions. Lots
of fun watching fellows trying to
make people understand what they
want.
This town is nothing but hills and
makes me think of home. But the
town is pretty and looks just like the
French towns you see in the movies
at home. So the next time you see
such a picture just imagine a Belle-
fonte soldier boy sitting in front of
one of the old houses. We all like the
place first rate. Lots of good grub
and the water is fine—same kind that
you are drinking back in Bellefonte.
You ought to see the public wash-
ing places where the women wash
clothes. They are big stone basins
about eight feet wide and sixteen long
filled with water which is running all
the time. The women get around it
on their knees and after brushing the |
clothes with a scrub brush they knead |
them with their hands until they are
nearly dry, then they rinse them in
another little basin and take them
home to dry. Saw one wash house
yesterday that was built before the
Revolutionary war. Guess that one’s
pretty old.
It would do you all good to take a
trip such as we have had. I never had
any idea how beautiful France is.
The farms are wonderful and certain-
ly are kept looking good. And the
little villages perched away up in the
hills’ certainly are quaint looking. All
the roads are lined on both sides with
tall trees, and the roadways are as
good as our state highways at home.
Will have to close now and go down
to my billet and get ready for dinner,
for we sure do have appetites and al-
ways want to be on hand for mess.
Will close now with love to all the
folks in Bellefonte.
May 22nd, 1918.
Am now located in a little town
“Somewhere in France.” We are
resting after our long journey and
are enjoying ourselves, making mo-
tions and trying to talk to the French
people.
The people here treat us great and
try awfully hard to understand us and
make us understand them. They cer-
tainly are nice people and we all like
them. In the evenings we sit in front
of peoplé’s houses with our French
books and try to learn their language
and they ours. It is lots of fun tell-
ing them how we say different things
and they telling us how to say the
same in French. I can say “Good-
Morning, Good-Night, Thank You,
Mys., Mr., Miss,” and a few other lit-
tle words.
I wish you could see some of us ask-
ing for things we want. Last night
one of our fellows stopped at a house
to buy some milk and he had quite a
time making them understand what
he wanted. First, he tried to make a
noise like a cow, then he put his hands
up to his head to look like horns, and
finally he got down on his hands and
Everything has been
knees and tried to imitate a cow's
walk. He got the milk all right, but
he surely worked for it.
i Bellefonte is hilly, but it can’t be-
‘gin to come up to this town. Up one
‘hill and down another hill all the time.
"To get from the “Billet” I am in to
our mess shack I have to climb a hill
steeper than any of the hills in Belle-
fonte, but the place is pretty and we
have lots of good water and plenty to
eat, so we are willing to climb for our
meals. :
I have seen the prettiest country on
this trip that I have ever seen in my
life. The farms in France are beauti-
ful and are kept as clean as lawns at
home. The houses all have red roofs
and when one looks out of the car win-
dow he can see little towns perched
away up on the hills and they sure do
look pretty.

A big flag raising will take
{place at the Catholic church in this
‘place on Sunday afternoon at 2:30

There was a rumor on the
street on Wednesday that Lieut. E. R.
Taylor had been killed in France and
{a private named Eberhart, of Belle-
'fonte, wounded. How the rumor
started cannot be traced but the very
fact that the families of the two men
received no notice of such a happen-
ing, and the government always no-
tifies the friends of soldiers of either
ia death or injury before giving it to
{the press stamps the story as a fake.

In discussing the worth of boy
{farm workers, Lieutenant Governor
‘Frank B. McClain, Secretary-Treas-
‘urer of the Pennsylvania Commission
‘of Public Safety and Defense, which
‘has appropriated the money for’ this
‘work, states that the farmers of Lan-
‘caster county, his home county, are
| astonished at the service rendered by
city boys. On the average, the work
‘of the boys, he says, is far superior
to that rendered by the type of “hired
“man” now available. Farmers of his
‘district now concede that the boy farm
labor now being furnished constitutes
"the best form of emergency farm la-
| bor yet developed in this State.

The Undine fire company have
{had their own troubles keeping their
big Cadillac hose truck in running
condition. Last winter it froze up in
the company’s building and cracked
all the cylinders. They just recently
got the last of the cylinders and Lew-
is Hill got them installed last week.
On Sunday afternoon they decided to
test out the machine. So getting on
{a load of eleven firemen they went
out Howard street, across the ridge
to Hublersburg and up the Nittany
state highway. They ran along at a
moderate rate of speed until they hit
the homestretch at Tom Beaver’s
farm when Bob Kline told Lewis Hill,
the driver, to leave her out and see
how fast it could go. Louie did and
the result was they ran right into the
state police speed trap at about forty-
five miles an hour. The policeman
took their number, all right, and
made return of the same Monday
morning to Burgess W. Harrison
Walker. Inasmuch as the fine for joy
riding in a fire truck is $100 the boys
had a right to feel nervous when they
ran into the state police.

Lightning’s Queer Pranks.
Wednesday morning’s thunder
storm was one of the fiercest that has
been experienced in this section this
summer, and we have had quite a
number of them. Out at the Humes
farm, occupied by Boyd Sampsel, the
lightning struck a tree then followed
the fence to the barnyard where it
killed a large brood sow. When day-
light broke the sow was found lying
in the yard just as if she was asleep,
but stone dead.
Down on the John D. Miller farm
below Hublersburg a big tree was
struck and literally shivered to pieces,
though nothing else in close proximi-
ty was damaged.
There is an old saw that lightning
never strikes a locust tree but the
maxim has been proven incorrect. Up
on the Willard Dale farm at Dale's
Summit is a locust tree that was
struck by a bolt of lightning some
time ago and badly shattered.
Tuesday’s storm was not very vio-
lent hereabouts but down lower Nit-
tany valley it was fierce. The rain
was accompanied with hail stones of
all sizes and considerable damage was
done to growing crops and fruit. The
hail swept over a path about half a
mile in width just below Lamar and
continued over into Sugar valley.

RECEPTION AT THE ACADEMY.
Many People Pay Respect to Rev.
James P. Hughes on 50th An-
niversary.
The reception at the Bellefonte
Academy last Friday evening in hon-'
or of the fiftieth anniversary of Rev.
James P. Hughes’ connection with
that institution, proved a very pleas- |
ant affair. The weather was delight-
fully cool and many of the representa-
tive citizens of the town were pres-
ent, especially those who have either
attended the Academy during their
life, have had children there as stu-
dents or have been connected with it.
in some official or advisory capacity.
The early part of the evening was
spent in listening to a concert by Our
Boys band, of Milesburg, and their
music is worth listening to at any
time. Following the concert A. J.
Cook, president of the advisory board,
stepped to the front and told the pur-
pose of the gathering. He then in-
troduced Dr. John Richelsen, of Brad- |
ford, a member of the class of 1891,
i Princeton University, Princeton, N. J.,
‘who was the principal speaker of the
evening. Dr. Richelsen took as his
‘subject the realm of the preparatory
school, and his talk has been charac-
terized by all who heard it as a clas-
‘sic, a marvelous word-picture of the
great work being done today by the
preparatory schools. He dwelt briefly
ion the history of the Bellefonte Acad-
temy and paid a fitting tribute to the
i venerable principal emeritus who,
though in his ninety-first year, is still
able to help along the work of the in-
| stitution with his sage and valuable
; advice.
| The next speaker was ex-Judge El-
{lis L. Orvis, and he gave one of his
| reminiscent talks, beginning with his
| first knowledge of the Academy and
{coming down to the present, relating
| interesting incidents of the history of
i the institution as well as the life of
Mr. Hughes, concluding by saying
that Mr. Hughes through the Belle-
fonte Academy had been the instru-
the community and a benefit in the
lives of hundreds of young men and
women.
| Following music by the band the
audience called for Mr. Hughes and
that venerable gentleman responded
in a speech that was marvelous for a
man of his age. He told in a concise
emy for fifty years, of how he loved
the work and the boys and girls he
had sent out into the world to make
their way and how successfully they
had done. it. Mr.- Hughes stated that
as evidence of how his old students
still thought of the institution, al-
though only a few of them were able
to come here for the celebration he
had received scores of letters and tel-
egrams from all over the country
congratulating him upon the fact
that he has lived to celebrate his fif-
tieth anniversary with the institution.
Before the audience was dismissed
James R. Hughes, headmaster of the
Academy, stated that he had an an-
nouncement to make regarding the
present student body. He told how
they had purchased the large flag now
floating over the institution; how the
minstrels gave three entertainments
which netted the Bellefonte Chapter
of the Red Cross about five hundred
dollars; that they ‘had purchased in
the neighborhood of $700 worth of
war savings stamps but still they
were not satisfied. And that the
| twenty-eight young men who finish
i their course at the Academy this
week, in order to leave behind them
, something that will identify them for
life with the institution have decided
ion the erection of a gateway at the
| Bishop street entrance to the grounds.
{ The gateway will include the pedes-
{tals of Centre county limestone, three
i feet square on a four foot concrete
| base. Connecting the pedestals will
be a heavy bronze plate bearing the
‘words “Bellefonte Academy, 1868-
11818.” Each pedestal will be topped
with a large electric light. Contractor
George Rhoads is now preparing an
! estimate of the cost of the gate.
Following the reception at the
Academy a dance was held in Bush
Arcade hall which was attended by
the young people of Bellefonte gen-
erally and many friends of the stu-
dents from out of town.

Field Day and Picnic at State College.
Take June 21st off, take your fami-
lies and lunch baskets and visit The
Pennsylvania State College. Join the
inspection trip around the college
farms. See the experimental fields
and the live stock. Renew acquain-
tance with your neighbors and make
new social ties. The big picnic will
be a delightful feature of the day, and
there will be athletic events and some
funny stunts, too.
Field day at State College was so
successful last year that the college
is going to repeat the event and make
it better than it has ever been. All
subordinate granges and clubs and
other agricultural organizations of
Centre county are particularly urged
to be present.
Remember the date, Friday, June
21. Events will start at 11 a. m.
——The weather these days may be
hot but the Scenic is always comfort-
able, the pictures are always interest-

line. Follow the crowd every even-
ing and you can’t go amiss. Always
‘the best of order and the pictures
cannot help but please and entertain
you.
