Smith Tells What a Big Job Uncle Sam Has Tackled and Other Interesting Things. Somewhere in France, June 2nd. My dear: — Have not heard from you for a week, and time certainly hangs heavy when we do not receive mail. We think this is due to the fact that the trucks are too busy to bring the mail in. Now, in answer to some of your questions, no I am not working at my trade, I am doing the same kind of work as the Titan Metal Co., and we are twice as far away from the firing line as the nearest college would be to your home town. I have seen quite a number of French villages, 2nd it is awful to see how they have been destroyed. We are in a beautiful place. Imagine, if you can, little white plastered houses, with roofs covered with green vines, the majority of the streets narrow and a stream of spring water running through them. The children are par- ticularly interesting, little fat young- sters with red cheeks. There is one very interesting little fellow at the house where I get my washing done. I have taught him to say “gun” and he calls me “Smitty.” We were all very much disappointed on Decora- tion day. We got warning of an air raid but the Huns did not show up. Musser is here clipping a fellow’s hair, and I wish you could see him. Miss Laurie and her companion have had a house built, and we have been invited up to call and see it. I am glad, for she is certainly a won- derful woman. She is working very hard and is somewhat thinner than when she was at home, and no one knows what she means to we Belle- fonte boys. Have had a letter from Ed. Shields. He is going to come and see me. He is some Ed. Will have to close now and will write you again in a day or two. Give my regards to all my inquiring friends. I am as ever, FRANK R. SMITH. Somewhere in France, June 6th. My dear:— Well, here is the 6th of June and still no mail from the States. It is now almost two weeks since we have had mail. I did receive your movie magazine and also some papers, and we all enjoyed the books very much, we even read all the ads. We are having fine weather, only a little too windy. Had intended going fishing but it is too windy. I have never felt better in my life, and am still gaining, as you will see from the pictures I am enclosing. We have received papers ‘with accounts of the ships being blown up in our own waters; that is surely bringing the war near home. We took the papers up to Miss Laurie and she was very glad to get them. For some reason or other she does not receive the pa- pers sent her; her companion, Miss Watts, receives hers regularly. I see by the papers they are sending a big bunch of fellows over. That is what we need, men, and the sooner they get them over the sooner this war will be over. It is really surprising at the num- ber of ‘things that have to be done. You people at home do not realize what the United States is doing. There are not hundreds, but thousands of things to look after, and it is only when you are in the service that you can realize and appreciate it. They have built quite an addition to the Y. M. C. A. and it is fine. They use the old part for entertainments and the new part for reading and writing. Miss Laurie is located in the new part, and is still working as hard as ever. I gave her your messages and she was very glad to receive them, and sends her regards to all her inquiring friends. She is surely appreciated over here, not only by our town boys, but by all who are fortunate enough to be near her. She is mother, sister, sweetheart and everything to us. Sam Rhinesmith had a birthday on June 4th. Whitey and I gave him a box of “La Preferencia” cigars for a birthday present. Poor Sam was so fussed. Well, will have to close; will be able to write more when we receive mail. I am as ever, F. R. SMITH. —Subscribe for the “Watchman.” BARR.—Cyrus Barr, a well known resident of Boalsburg, passed away last Friday after suffering for more than a year with creeping paralysis. | He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Barr and was born at McAlevy’s Fort sixty-four years ago. When a lad the family moved to Centre county and! most of his life was spent at Gates- burg. Two years ago he moved to | Boalsburg where he was employed by | Capt. Theodore Davis Boal. : He is survived by his wife, one son, | Alfred K., in the west, and a daugh- | ter, Mrs. J. C. Young, of Boalsburg. He also leaves a brother and sister, Homer Barr, of Boalsburg, and Mrs. Blair Gates, of Gatesburg. He was a member of the Lutheran church for many years and Rev. L. N. Fleck had charge of the funeral services which were held at two e’clock on Sunday afternoon, the remains being taken | to Gatesburg for burial. il Il LEWIS.—Mrs. Felicia Lewis, wid- ow of Marshall H. Lewis, a Civil war veteran, died at her home near Win- burne, Clearfield county, on Tuesday of last week. She was a daughter of George and Kate Dillon and was born | within a mile of where she died al- most sixty-eight years ago. Her sur- viving children are Mrs. Ora Shobert, of Julian; Mrs. E. P. Mingle, of Al- toona; Mrs. R. E. Cole, of Clearfield; Ralph Lewis, of Niagara Falls; Mrs. I. E. Lucas, of Winburne; Mrs. E. C. Nording, of Martha Furnace; Edward, at home, and Mrs. H. B. Bennett, of Port Matilda. Burial was made at Winburne last Thursday. |! JOHNSTON.—According to the Al- toona papers Miss Annabelle Johnston died in the Blair county hospital, that city, on Saturday afternoon, follow- ing an illness of some weeks with a complication of diseases. She was born in Bellefonte fifty years ago but the most of her life had been spent in Altoona. She is survived by one brother, George Johnston, of Belle- fonte. The funeral was held on Tues- day afternoon, burial being made in the Fairview cemetery, Altoona. Il Il OWEN.—George W. Owen, a prom- inent business man of Mechanicsburg, died quite suddenly on Monday after- noon of heart trouble. He was fifty- five years old and was married only about three months ago. He was prominent in the good roads move- ment and well up in fraternal circles. He leaves one sister, Mrs. Maude O. Stamm, of Harrisburg, formerly Mrs. Bullock, of this place. Mr. Owen fre- quently visited in Bellefonte when his sister resided here. Io ll BRANDMAN.—Solomon Brandman died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Brandman on Thursday of last week of edema of the lungs. He was born in Austria and was fifty-eight years old. The remains were taken to Lock Haven on Saturday and shipped to Philadelphia for burial. Work of the Exemption Board. The local exemption board on Wed- nesday completed their work of send- ing out the questionnaires to the 311 young men who registered on June 5th under the selective service act, and the same must be filled out and returned to the board within seven days. The board this week received no- tice to send five men for special serv- ice on July first to Delaware College, Newark, N. J., and also received no- tice that the next general call for men would be for the week beginning July 22nd, the quota to be 117. Centre county has furnished so many men up to date that there will be less than two hundred left in Class Al after the contingent of 158 are sent away today. Of the twenty men called for spe- cial service training at State College, the list of which was published two weeks ago, four were excused, name- ly: Harry L. Hawkes, of Fleming; Edward L. Rhoads, Earle V. Stavely and Eugene J. Sullivan, State Col- lege. The two men selected to make up the quota were: JOHNSON, PAUL M., Bellefonte. WILLARD, ROGER E., Bellefonte. - ewe Escaped Prisoner Still at Large. William Hall, the desperado who escaped from the western penitentia- ry two weeks ago and who created considerable excitement on Monday morning of last week when he shot at guard Harry Whiteman and again ef- fected an escape after that gentleman had captured him, is still at large. About nine o’clock on Sunday even- ig a man answering the description of the prisoner visited the home of J. C. Nason, of Julian, and asked for something to eat. Whether he got it or not is not known, but later the tow- er man at that place claims to have seen him jump a freight westbound. At three o'clock Monday morning a | policeman in Altoona noticed a man acting suspiciously on the street and when he attempted to arrest him he shot the officer in the shoulder then made his escape. The policeman gave it as his opinion that the man was the convict Hall, but so far he has not been rounded up. ——Luther Eckley, a boy less than three years old, was brought to the Bellefonte hospital on Wednesday afternoon suffering with a badly frac- tured jaw, which he received in a pe- culiar manner. The lad was in the barn watching the men unload hay when the rope used in pulling up the hay fork broke. Ome end of the rope caught the child on the jaw, fractur- ing it badly. ——E. I. Gillen, of Milesburg, who suffered a stroke of paralysis several weeks ago and has been undergoing treatment in the Bellefonte hospital, is somewhat improved. The Bellefonte Chautauqua Rapidly Approacheth. Only about three weeks now until the Bellefonte Chautauqua. The dates for the big event are Thursday, July 18, to Thursday, July 25. The motto adopted for the Chautauqua is the great English war phrase, “Carry On” The Chautauqua program this year fered to local audiences. Among the men of more than national fame are Judge Marcus Kavanagh, of Chicago, whose lecture will be “Traitors to Justice,” and George H. Turner, known throughout the country as a veteran of the Chautauqua movement, who will give a great war lecture, “Humanity’s Last Reserves.” A lec- ture by a British war hero ought to draw every patriot in the country to Bellefonte for that evening. The mu- sical engagements, always deservedly popular, will attract by their charm of war, this year, as never before. A musical feature well worth many times the price of one admission, the sort for which you would willingly pay the price of a course ticket, will be one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most attractive operas. The boys and girls of Bellefonte and vicinity will be interested in the plans for the Junior Chautauqua. It will be a patriotic year for the Jun- jors. There will be lots of fine stories, songs, games and all of them patriot- ic ones, too! The play this year will be a thoroughly patriotic one, “Liber- ty’s Torch.” No boy or girl will want to miss a single session. This year as never before it should : be made a Bellefonte Chautauqua. It is a town undertaking, and though there may be some here and there who do not care for the idea and for the class of attractions, yet there are many more who do, people of all classes. It is a great thing for chil- dren, it is a great thing for those who cannot get away in the summer, a great thing for those who appreciate the things of the mind, who under- stand and value music; a great thing for those who are glad of the oppor- tunity of a “get-together” with their friends and neighbors, and who de- sire to “carry on” with an undertak- ing which will benefit large sections of the community. Prices of tickets have not advanc- ed, nor must the Chautauqua pay the war tax, so that there are few who cannot prepare for the solid week of enjoyment and improvement ahead of us. Realized as a Bellefonte institu- tion, we can make people of the coun- ty proud of the leadership of their county town, which will throw open its gates to an institution so unique- ly American from which the whole neighborhood can profit so exten- sively. Merchants Will Furnish Help in Har- vesting. Bellefonte, merchants have hearken- ed to the cry of the shortage of farm labor during harvest time and will do their part toward releasing their clerks for a day or two’s work in the harvest field. In order to get their position right before the public the Merchants’ as- sociation held a meeting on Monday evening and went over the whole sit- uation. John L. Holmes, of State College, who is at the head of the farm labor movement in the county, was present and told the merchants that while it is true that some far- mers will probably need a little as- sistance during their wheat harvest, the farm labor situation is not nearly as acute as might be supposed. The early hay has mostly been cut and the majority of farmers have self-bind- ers with which to cut their wheat. Hence if men can be furnished for a few days to help haul in the wheat the harvesting can be done very nice- ly. The merchants unanimously agreed to release what help they could when- ever it is needed. They then select- ed six captains who will have charge of securing the men and placing them where needed. The captains and the day in the week on which they will serve are as follows: Monday—William W. Bottorf. Tuesday—Edward F. Gehret. Wednesday—Adolph Fauble. Thursday—Thomas Hazel. Friday—A. C. Mingle and Oscar Miles, of Milesburg. No help will be given on Saturday as the merchants will need their clerks that day themselves. The captains held a ‘meeting on Tuesday evening and decided that the wages of the men who go out to work on the farm shall be $2.00 a day and board, which will include dinner and supper. Help will be furnished to farmers within a radius of six miles of Bellefonte and if the farmer has an automobile he will be required to come to Bellefonte for his man and bring him home in the evening. If he has no machine, the captain will see that the man is taken to the farm but the farmer will have to bring him home. Any farmers in need of help can either communicate with John L. Holmes, State College, or any of the captains named above. soo — A firm in Johnstown is now manufacturing a near beer called “Jay-Bee.” Just what it is made out of has not been divulged but the man- ufacturers claim that in the process of its manufacture the by-product is turned into vinegar at the rate of 1000 barrels weekly. The only admit- ted near beer sold in Bellefonte so far is Merle Brew but from all accounts the most of it nowadays is only near beer, and the Johnstowner who con- cocted Jay-Bee has at least adopted a name that sounds a little suspicious. ——For high class Job Work come to the “Watchman” Office. is ample and varied, the best yet of- Snyder—Deitrick.—A very quiet wedding was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B.

Very early in the spring, in fact before all of the winter’s snow had disappeared, the Bellefonte borough council passed a resolution suspend- ing for the period of the war all curb market fees and licenses for the pur- pose of throwing open the gates to farmers and truck growers to market their produce in Bellefonte. Up to date, however, there has not only been no curb market but so far as the writ- er is informed not a load of produce of any kind has been brought to Bellefonte and offered for sale, ex- cepting by those farmers who serve butter and eggs regularly to custom- ers in town. Bellefonte at one time had one of the best curb markets of any town in this section of the State but it gradu- ally dwindled down until it passed away entirely. But even up to last year a few farmers brought early vegetables, berries, etc., to town, but this year very few. Of course, the shortage of farm help may be as- signed as one reason for farmers hav- ing done away with truck gardening, but it is work that school boys could do and if properly attended to could be made a profitable part of the far- mer’s income. neal lp ly ——— Women and Girls, Attention! A short course in food conservation will be given at State College from July 1st to July 10th inclusive, pro- vided thirty registrations are made. State College gives the course free of charge. Board and lodging may be obtained at various houses in State College at a price not to exceed $12.00 for the period. This is a wonderful opportunity for all persons interest- ed in such a course, which will attract women from every part of the State, and should be particularly interesting to Centre county women.

For some weeks past the Bellefonte | police have had reasons to believe that somebody who does not have strict re- gard for the law has been catching ithe trout out of Spring creek within the forbidden district, doing their fish- ling in the dead of night. Owing to | this fact the policemen have watched | the stream pretty closely and at three io’clock on Tuesday morning police- man Elmer Yerger made a good haul {when he caught three young men of | Philipsburg fishing for trout right op- posite the “Watchman” office. | ‘The young men, who gave their (names as Fred Nixon, J. C. and J. E. | Mark, were promptly arrested and | spent the balance of the night in the |lockup. At ten o’clock Tuesday fore- {noon they were taken before justice iof the peace S. Kline Woodring and | there told quite a story. | {| They stated that several weeks ago i they spent a night at the Bush house | While driving three Republic trucks ' from Harrisburg to Bellefonte. Along {about half past eleven o'clock that i night, they asserted, they walked out {upon Spring creek bridge and saw a man fishing at the very spot where they attempted to fish Tuesday morn- ing. They aver that he was catching trout so fast they could hardly count them, and seeing him fishing there they naturally supposed the stream open to all fishermen and came over to try their luck. : While the story is a good one it don’t bear the earmarks of strict ve- racity. Every fisherman in this lo- cality knows that this section of Spring creek has been posted as clos- ed since the beginning of the season of 1917, and no man hereabouts would venture to fish the stream when he had any idea he would be seen, much less stand still and pull out trout after trout with three people watching him. On the other hand if the Philipsburg fishermen believed the stream open to all fishermen why did they come into the town at that hour in the morning and attempt to catch the trout instead of waiting for daylight? But why speculate. ’Squire Wood- ring held the three of them in $1000 bail for a hearing before him at two o’clock this (Friday) afternoon, when a representative of the State Fish Commission will be here to fight the case. : a Patriotic League July 4th Frolic.

State College Will Train Enlisted Pennsylvania Men. Two hundred enlisted young men from various parts of the Keystone State began training in mechanical work at State College June 16th. These men will be given the same sort of instruction received at the college by the 189 Minnesota mechanics who were recently sent by the War Depart+ ment into the different camps of the country. Since the first of May 147 men from the State of Maryland have been in training at the college. Since the first of April 542 men have been enrolled in these special war classes. The courses include electricity, black- smithing, carpentry, automobile and other machine repair work. THE ANSWER TO “ONLY A VOL- UNTEER.” By Edwin M. Grove. Why didn’t you wait to be drafted ? The answer is simple enough: You didn’t need a brass band to lead you— You're made of the right kind of stuff. Your banquet will come when it’s over, That's when you'll want to be cheered; And then you will know you deserve 1b: Because you've volunteered. Don’t get discouraged so quickly, From what I've seen I've a hunch That out of the millions of soldiers Uncle Sam likes you best of the bunch. You don’t complain of your duties, Of hardship you've naught to fear; ‘You lick up your meals with a relish, Because you're a Volunteer. You weren't dragged in by a number As though you were nothing at all; And you didn’t go ’round with a frown on, Afraid that your country would call You didn’t buy every paper And scan the draft column with fear, You marched right along with your head up, Because you're a Volunteer. What if the little draft Willies Do get a little more praise; Praise won't get the old Kaiser— It’s real work we want these days. Just keep your eyes on Berlin, boys, Never mind about brass bands and cheers; The glory will go to the heroes, And they'll be the Volunteers. “ mdf
