RCT CRE * Bellefonte, Pa., June 21, 1918. a — THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY At their lawn festival on Tues- day evening the Young Woman’s Mis- sionary society of the Presbyterian church, cleared $97.25 and enough ad- ditional contributions have been re- ceived to make $100, which will be forwarded to Miss Bertha Laurie for her canteen work in France. It is requested by Miss Morris that all the knitters of the town meet with her in the Red Cross work rooms, Masonic building, on Friday after- noon, June 21st, between two and five o’clock for the purpose of registration. If you have any finished work, take it along at that time as it will require all the available articles to fit out the drafted men leaving next week. There is a strong man out at the carnival who challenges all comers to wrestle at five dollars a throw. On Wednesday evening the fireman on the Lewisburg train took his chal- lenge. J. Mac Heinle was chosen as referee and the fireman had no trou- ble throwing the strong man. In fact he literally made a monkey out of him. He also demanded his five dol- lars and got it. The advent of the automobile has even played havoc with the old- time and picturesque gypsy caravans of bright painted wagons, horses, dogs, etc. On Monday morning three gypsy women and about half a dozen children came to Bellefonte by train from Lock Haven. The only man in the crowd drove here in an automobile and loading up the gang and para- phernalia at the railroad depot departed in the direction of Lewis- town. Flag day last Friday was prob- ably more studiously observed in Bellefonte than ever before. Special ceremonies were held at the Elks lodge, where Dr. W. K. McKinney de- livered the address. Washington Camp P. O. S. of A. also had a special program and about seventy-five peo- ple attended the D. A. R. gathering at the Country club. The orator there was Col. H. S. Taylor, while Rev. M. DePue Maynard also made an ad- dress. Mrs. Isaac Smith, of Centre Hall, was eighty-six years old on Sun- day and she celebrated the day with a family reunion of her children, which included W. Witmer and Clyde A. Smith, of this place; James Smith, of Williamsport, and Miss Grace at home. A number of friends also call- ed on Mrs. Smith during the day to congratulate her upon having lived to attain four score and six years, and also upon her health; which is very good. A number of Bellefonte gentle- men attended the flag raising at Sco- tia on Saturday evening. There was a good turnout of citizens from that vicinity and patriotism was at a high ebb. The speakers for the occasion were Edmund Blanchard and Col. H. S. Taylor, of Bellefonte. Prior to the raising of the flag the spectators were entertained with a base ball game. During the evening a festival was held for the benefit of the Red Cross, and a very tidy sum realized. The most benighted person, whether hé be a native born Ameri- can or a foreign emigrant, can always find amusement and entertainment in moving pictures and the Scenic thea- tre is a good place in Bellefonte to see them. The Scenic auditorium is large and well ventilated, cool and comfortable even in hot weather and the class of pictures shown there can- not be seen anywhere else in Belle- fonte. Therefore, when you want to see good pictures, go to the Scenic. Among the 620 graduates at the University of Southern California two weeks ago was H. McGee Barn- hart, a son of Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Barnhart, of Whittier, Cal, and a nephew of cashier James K. Barnhart, of the First National bank of Belle- fonte. The young man graduated in dentistry and was awarded the La Touche medal for proficiency in clin- ical work. The medal carries the ap- pointment to the position of demon- ! strator at the University infirmary next year. Andrew J. Engle, the five year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Engle, of east Lamb street, had his right arm fractured manner on Monday evening about seven o’clock. He was coasting down the concrete pavement in his baby au- to when the machine ran off the pave- ment and up the side of a terrace throwing the boy out onto the pave- ment. Danny Hines was also coast- ing down the pavement in a small wagon and being unable to stop ran over the Engle boy’s right arm, re- sulting im a compound fracture be- tween the wrist and elbow. Edwin M. Grove, son of Coun- ty Commissioner D. A. Grove, is hav- ing some thrilling and exciting ex- periences in his service for Uncle Sam. Having recently returned from France he in company with a young lieutenant, were sent to Boston in an army truck to place an order for some carburetor parts. Having ac- complished their mission they were on their way back and while driving through New York on Tuesday, fol- lowing the car tracks, a wheel came off their truck. The truck was thrown from the track and the lieu- tenant was thrown from the truck right in front of a passing trolley car, being killed outright. Young Grove luckily escaped. He was then given a two day’s furlough to come home but hardly had he gotten here when he received orders to get vo Nashville, Tenn., and left on Wednesday. in a peculiar | FLAG RAISING AT ST. JOHN'S CATHOLIC CHURCH. Several Thousand People Witnessed the Impressive Ceremonies. Big Parade Precedes Meeting. A beautiful flag, the gift of the Bellefonte Council Knights of Colum- bus, was raised at St. John’s Catholic most impressive ceremonies, included in which was the dedication of a serv- ice flag made by the women of St John’s Dorcas society, containing the names of forty-five of the fifty-one young men who have either volun- teered or been called into the service of their country from that church, tional number of young men over the forty-five to be added to the flag. The Dorcas society will also present a silk flag which, with the service flag, will be hung in the church. The ceremonies proper were pre- ceded by a parade which formed in the Diamond. It was made up of Our Girls band of Milesburg, eight flag to be unfurled, children of the parochial school, the Dorcas society, Bellefonte Council Knights of Colum- bus, Our Boys band of Milesburg, Undine and Logan fire companies and the machine gun troop of the provis- ional reserve cavalry. The parade Spring to Bishop and west on Bishop to the parochial school. . The flag was hoisted to the top of a forty foot pole erected between the school building and the convent by Miss Margaret Mignot, while Our Boys band played “The Star Spangled Banner.” Imnediately fol- lowing the school sang the above pa- triotic song. Rev. Father William E. Downes, brief speech told the purpose of the gathering. He prefaced his remarks by saying that in all the length and breadth of Pennsylvania there is not another town like Bellefonte and he didn’t believe there is another town in the State in which such a represen- tative crowd would have turned out on such an occasion. Father Downes gave a very brief outline of the Cath- olic church and then added that they asked no odds of any one and had no apologies to make. That the church stood for itself in every phase of pa- triotism. In their parochial school they taught first love of God and sec- ond love of country. He pointed to the service flag with forty-five stars as evidence of the patriotism of the young men of the Bellefonte church American troops cited for bravery in the war with Germany were from a Massachusetts regiment recruited from the parochial schools. introduced as the first speaker Judge Henry C. Quigley. Judge Quigley stated present only to emphasize the faci represented stood back of every community as well as any and every movement that tends to the inculca- tion of patriotism in the hearts of the youth of the land; back of every movement that tends to the support of our boys at the front and the gov- ernment in the successful prosecution of the war. Following Judge Quig- didly recited the poem, “Flag of My Native Land,” written by Father Con- stantine Pise, three quarters of a century ago. After another selection by the choir Father Downes introduced Col. H. S. Taylor, stating that he knew of no man imbued with a greater spirit of patriotism or more entitled to voice his sentiments publicly, because he has given three sons to the service, has three brothers in it and is only out of it himself because of reasons he cannot overcome. Col. Taylor con- gratulated Father Downes and the church congregation for the patriot- shown by the service flag. Pointing the fact that it is the oldest flag in existence and has never yet been trailed in the dust of defeat. He stated that the only way to make it victorious this time is for every man, woman and child to do their ut- most to support the boys over there. There will be still greater privations to undergo, there will be much suffer- ing, many a mother’s heart will be filled with pain and anguish over the death of her boy, but we must all look ; beyond to the glories of a victory won and an enduring peace for all coun- tries. In conclusion he drew a pic- ture of our boys going over the top with flag encased, fighting the kind of battle that only Americans know how to fight and if perchance they are overpowered by numbers, giving | ground only with their face to the | enemy and fighting with the butts of | their guns. And at last when victory | crowns their efforts, as it is sure to do | if we at home do our part, how proud we all will be to see our boys come home, not with flags encased, but with colors flying, telling to the world that the land of the free has helped to make the whole world free. The next speaker was Col. Spangler and he confined himself principally to reciting what the big men of our country are doing to help aleng with the war. He cited Rockerfeller, whose tax this year was $38,000,000, and who gave $5,000,000 to the Red Cross. He told of other men who are giv- ing sixty per cent. of their profits and doing it uncomplainingly. And not only that, but that their sons were among the first to enlist for service. He further predicted that when the war is over all the foolish class dis- tinctions will have been swept away and a man will stand out before the world for what he is worth as a man, | whether he has a hundred dollars or a hundred million. church on Sunday afternoon with’ six more stars representing the addi- veterans of the Civil war carrying the i was down High street to Spring, rector in charge, presided and in a! and stated the fact that the first | He then that he was | ‘that the civil government which he movement for the welfare of the | ley Thomas Todsock Jr., very splen- ism displayed by their young men as to the Stars and Stripes he recalled ; The last speaker introduced was Mr. M. J. McEnery, of Philadelphia, Knights of Columbus at the different in this country | army cantonments who is prominent in the work of the i and abroad. He told of the work and stated that the K. and C. build- ings at the various cantonments while ! erected primarily to look after the | . spiritual welfare of the members of ! their church, were ‘conducted on en- tirely. non-sectarian principles; that the only badge required to gain en- trance thereto and all the comforts and privileges it is able to furnish is the United States uniform. Nothing is sold in these buildings but postage stamps, and they are kept merely for the convenience of the sol- diers. Everything else is free, and no questions asked as long as the man is in uniform. The meeting closed with “The Star Spangled Banner” by Our Boys band. At 5:30 o'clock Father Downes en- tertained the speakers and a few in- vited guests at dinner. Following is a list of the fifty-one young men be- longing to the Catholic church now in serivce: !

A Purely Personal Letter from ies Laurie Published With the Thought | That It May Suggest Other | “Bits” for Her Apprecia- | tive Boys. In an endeavor to do something | that would prove helpful to Miss Lau- | rie in her canteen service in France and, as it waserather a question what would be advisable and acceptable, : three packages, at a hazard, were sent her on the fifteenth of March. These were of the regulation-parcel-post weight of seven pounds and contain- ed games, curleycue cut puzzles, sev- | eral series of late newspaper cartoons, the pictorial section of the Sunday ! Public Ledger, assembled, for three months, six scrap books, travels and fiction, taken from Cosmopolitan and other magazines and put in heavy pa- per covers. How they were received may be read in the following letter from Miss Laurie: May 4. My dear —: . I think Nell said that you were hunting up games, posters and scrap books to be sent out here. Two fine packages have come and I can’t tell you how much the boys over in the hospital are enjoying them. : They are the most appreciative crowd and just the day before your pack- ages came, we had received from one of the wards a note addressed to “Dear Miss Y. M. C. A., Our flowers are croaking—We need magazines and company.” So we were so glad for all the things you sent. We had, . too, a window full of blooming plants to take over and they were so pleas-' ed to see us. The doctor said, “You would think they were all about to die before you girls come in but after you have been here," they smile the rest of the day.” You see they have only men orderlies and never see a woman and we have so little time that we get over there only once a week. The hospital barracks, four of them, are just across the road from our Y. M. C. A. kitchen window, and, as soon as they are able to come to the win- dow, they whistle and wave to us. Last Monday, our weekly holiday, we went to the city. We always have a long list of things the boys ask us to buy. I purchased for one two love- ly bead bags for twenty-two and twenty-five francs and a piece of real filet lace, for sixteen francs; the last was for a boy who used to attend the Bellefonte Academy—all presents for their best girls. We think it so nice that the boys are always delighted with whatever we get for them. We went to market on Tuesday morning and bought an armful of lilies-of-the- valley and another of marsh mari- i golds for a ridiculously low price, - also two lovely blue potted plants and two pots of forget-me-nots. When we got home in the afternoon, we made bouquets and took over to the: wards. If you could have seen the way the boys buried their noses in those lilies and sniffed and sniffed and said, “It smells like home,” it would have brought your tears. Tell Mary I wish she were here. . She would love the work but she is not strong enough, I fear. You have to be a horse, to go on week after week, with always more to do than! there is time for. We have been here | six months. I can scarcely believe it | but it has been the best and happiest ! half year in our lives. Will you please thank Boy for the puzzles and Mrs. Walker and Miss McQuistion for the games. The rag | doll, together with some children’s scrap books, is going to a refugee hospital for children from the devas- tated region, to a friend doctor who | was on the boat with us. Yours sincerely, | | | I BERTHA A. LAURIE. Half of Loganton Destroyed by Fire. oo. Loganton, the principal town in Sugar valley, was half wiped out by | a fire on Wednesday which started at | eleven o’clock in the Henry & Sons’ | bakery and burned until four o’clock | in the afternoon.

The majority of the people of Bellefonte are missing a lot of good, clean amucement by not attending the Red Cross baseball games Tuesday and Friday evenings on Hughes field. For instance: The game last Friday evening between the North and South ward teams was won by the latter by the score of 5 to 4 in an extra inning contest. On Tuesday evening of this week the North won from the South by the score of 1 to 0. When local boys play games with such close scores it is evident that they are worth watching. But aside from this fact the pre- dominating feature is that the boys are playing for the benefit of the Red Cross. Not one cent of the money goes to them. They work hard to put up good, clean sport and they should be better patronized. If you have not attended any of these games go out this evening and see the game be- tween the North and West ward teams. It will give you one hour of good amusement for the small sum of ten cents, and you will be helping the Red Cross just that much. A meeting of the baseball associa- tion was held at the Elks club after the game on Tuesday evening and a schedule compiled for the remainder of the season. It provides for twenty more regular games and two exhibi- tion games on July 4th. The first of the latter will be between the North and West ward teams, and the winner will then play the South ward. Fol- lowing is the completed schedule: June 21—North vs. West ward. June 25—South vs. West ward. June 28—North vs. West ward. July 2—South vs. West ward. July 5—North vs. South ward. July 9—North vs. South ward. July 12—North vs. West ward. July 16—South vs. West ward. July 19—North vs. West ward. July 23—South vs. West ward. July 26—North vs. South ward. July 30—North vs. South ward. Aug. 2—North vs. West ward. Aug. 6—South vs. West ward. Aug. 13—North vs. South ward. Aug. 16—South vs. West ward. Aug. 20—North vs. South ward. Aug. 23—North vs. West ward. Aug. 27—South vs. West ward. Aug. 30—North vs. West ward. A Pleasant Surprise. Monday was the birthday anniver- sary of Mrs. Harry Corman.
