THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY
This is the national Pledge
day. Go the limit in the purchase of
thrift stamps.
—A marriage license was issued
at Cumberland, Md., on Thursday of
last week to Paul Bennett and Miss
Edna Burd, both of Bellefonte.
— This is the day when the en-
tire nation is to be asked to show what
it is willing to do in the way of in-
vesting money with the government.
— In addition to pencils Bill Doak
is selling a pencil sharpener that re-
ally sharpens without breaking the
lead, and so small that it can be car-
ried in the vest pocket. Get one and
try it.
— William Katz recently invest-
ed in a seven passenger Hudson auto-
mobile and his evenings are now spent
in acquiring proficiency in handling
the machine. So far he has had no
accidents.
— The marketable timber on the
Christ Sharer land in Rush township
has been purchased by Homer Hess,
of Philipsburg, who has moved his
sawmill onto the land and will at once
begin lumbering operations.
— The hotelkeeper’s association of
Bellefonte held a meeting last Friday
and again boosted the price of liquid
réfreshments and reduced the size of
glasses. And thus the prohibition
movement goes steadily on..
— Edward F. Gehret, Willis Shu-
ey, John Anderson and James Stover
spent last Friday on Elk creek, in the
Millheim Narrows, on a trout fishing
expedition, returning home with six-
ty-nine of the speckled beauties.
— Fire on Monday morning burn-
ed a hole about the size of a barrel in
the roof of the kitchen of the Andrew
B. Young home on Reservoir hill. The
fire evidently caught from a spark
from the chimney. An alarm was
sounded but the fire was extinguished
before the fire companies arrived up-
on the scene.
— Some months ago the “Watch-
man” mentioned the fact that the
next change in uniforms of railroad
conductors would be of an abbreviated
pattern. That the long tails on the
coats would be missing and every cut
made to conserve the cloth. And such
has proven to be the case. The new
summer uniforms include a short sack
coat, with as few trimmings as pos-
sible.
. Among the visitors in Belle-
fonte on Wednesday were Mrs. Dan-
iel Irwin, of Julian, and three of her
children, Mrs. J. H. Turner, of Julian,
Alfred and C. Arthur Irwin. This was
Mrs. Irwin's first trip to Bellefonte
in a number of years and it was made
especially for a visit to the photog-
raphers to have her sit for a picture.
Mrs. Irwin is in her eightieth year,
but is still enjoying good health.

— The Water Works Journal, pub-
lished in Pittsburgh, devoted consider-
able space in its April issue to Belle-
fonte. Its frontispiece is a picture of
the court house showing the soldiers’
monument in the foreground. Then
there is a picture of south Allegheny
street looking north from Bishop
street, a picture and descriptive arti-
cle on Bellefonte’s famous spring and
a very good picture of James D. Sei-
bert, chairman of the Water commit-
tee of borough council, who furnished
the data for the article on the spring.
——For the latter part of June the
spell of cold weather experienced in |
this section the latter part of last
week and Sunday will probably be re-
called for years by many people, and
just to give them something to go by
it might be stated that automobilists
who drove to State College late Sat-
urday night encountered a snow storm
of such density that their windshields
were covered with the fine particles. |
Fortunately it did not last long and
no damage was done to fields or gar-
dens, though some gardens in this vi-
einity were damaged: by frost Friday
morning.
In last week’s issue of the
“Watchman” announcement was made
of the marriage on June 8th of Dan-
iel S. Keller Jr., and Frances Garrett
Branson, concluding with the state-
ment that the bridegroom was a son
of Mrs. Daniel S. Keller, of Philadel-
phia. Our information was obtained
from a card of announcement received
at this office without specifying any
particulars. It now appears that the
bridegroom is the eldest son of depu-
ty Attorney General William H. Kel-
ler, of Lancaster, and is first lieuten-
ant in the 316th infantry stationed at
. Camp Meade, Md.
With this week’s issue of the
Keystone Gazette Edward L. Gates
finished his ten years’ connection with
that paper as local editor and on Sun-
day will leave for Philipsburg to be-
gin his duties next week as managing
editor of the Philipsburg Ledger. He
will move his family to that place just
as soon as he can secure a suitable
house, which he expects to do in the
very near future. His place on the
Gazette will be taken by W. Francis
Speer, who will go there from the
Bellefonte Republican, where he has
been dishing up the local news the
past two or three years.

The Lucky South Won Another Game.
Rain compelled a postponement of
ithe game of ball between the North
‘and West ward teams of the Red
Cross league scheduled for Friday
“night, so that the only game of the
, week was that between the South and
| West wards on Tuesday evening, the
| South winning by the score of 5 to 0.
i The first serious accident of the sea-
‘son happened during the game when
William Sager, one of the South ward
, players, in attempting to run safely
'to second base, ran into second base-
‘man Torsell’s elbow, breaking his
nose and tearing the cartilege loose
on his right cheek. He was taken to
the Bellefonte hospital where he is
‘now undergoing treatment.
The game this evening will be be-
tween the North and West ward
teams, and promises to be quite ex-
citing. Go out and see the fun.

Sugar Rulings Must be Obeyed.
, On Wednesday a neatly-dressed
'stranger made his appearance
Bellefonte and going to one of the ho-
“tels asked if he could be served with
‘dinner. The landlord assured him he
could and ushered him into the din-
ing room. The man not only ate his
dinner but remained for supper.
After the latter meal he sought the
landlord in his office and very quietly
{told him that he was violating the
‘law in the dining room. The land-
‘lord, who had not read the recent rul- |
lings on the sugar question and was
ignorant of any infraction of the food
‘controller's rulings, inquired as to
how he was violating the law.
The man told him by having sugar
bowls on the tables. He then exhib-
ited his papers and proved to be an,
inspector in the federal food depart-
| ment and his mission is to visit the
| various hotels and see if the landlords
| are complying with the food rulings.
| The Bellefonte landlord told him
‘that he had not seen the ruling but
‘that the sugar bowls would be remov-
'ed forthwith. He was also informed
|by the inspector that not more than |
{one teaspoonful of sugar was to be
| served with the coffee of a guest, and
"this must be put in by the waitress.
He further stated that some hotels
‘had adopted the use of small envel-
| opes, like prescription envelopes, in
| which was put one teaspoonful of su-
gar and an envelope placed at each
plate, which virtually puts sugar on a
prescription basis.
From the above it can be seen that
when the government makes a ruling
‘on any kind of a food product it
, means business, and it intends to find
{out if the rulings are lived up to. So
if any person who reads this item is
trying to put one over on the food de-
partment he had better stop trying,
as it is impossible to tell just when
an inspector might happen around
and get him.
And in this connection it might be
added that effective July first more
stringent rulings than ever will be
placed on the sale and consumption of
sugar.

FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT NEAR
PINE GROVE MILLS.
Ray Albert Died from Injuries and
Three Others Hurt. Car
Turned Turtle.
Ray Albert, aged 26 years, is dead;
his aunt, Miss Maggie Reed, is'in the
Bellefonte hospital with a broken col-
lar bone and other injuries, and Mrs.
Sadie Burwell and son George are
confined to their home east of Pine
Grove Mills with injuries sustained in
an automobile wreck about two miles
east of Pine Grove at 5:30 o'clock on
Sunday evening.
Young Albert carried the mail be-
tween Pine Grove Mills and State Col-
lege and on Sunday he and the others
mentioned above motored to Peters-
burg in his Ford car and spent the
day with friends. On the return trip
home Albert allowed young Burwell
to try his hand at running the car.
They were motoring along through |
| the Glades when one of the front:
wheels struck a stone and caused the
| car to swerve to the side of the road.
Thinking that Burwell had lost control
{of the car Albert grabbed the steer-
{ing wheel and gave it a quick turn in
| the opposite direction. The, machine
responded quickly and turned so short
|that the left front wheel collapsed
‘with the result that the car turned
! turtle and landed with the hood point-
ling in the direction from which they
(had come.
Persons nearby who saw the acci-
dent hurried to the scene and found
ithe four occupants of the car huddled
up inside and unconscious. They took
them from the car as quickly as pos-
sible and summoned a physician. It
was at once seen that Albert was fa-
tally injured as his head was crushed.
serious and both of them were
brought to the Bellefonte hospital.
Mrs. Burwell sustained a broken
collar bone and a fractured rib while
her son George sustained a broken
| wrist and cuts on the head. They
were both removed to the Burwell
‘home, where they are getting along
all right.
Young Albert’s injuries proved fa-
tal, as he passed away at the Belle-
fonte hospital at 2:30 o’clock on Mon-
day afternoon. Ever since four years
sister, Mrs. John Osman, of Shingle-
town. Funeral services were held af
[2:80 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
‘by Rev. L. V. Barber, after which
burial was made in the new cemetery
at Pine Grove Mills.
The funeral was one of the largest
ever held at Pine Grove Mills. In ad-
dition to Rev. Barber three other min-
isters assisted in the services while
eight little girls carried flowers to
strew upon his grave.
Child Run Down by Auto Will
Recover.
Eleanor Wasson, the little four-
year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel B. Wasson, at Lemont, was
run down by an automobile last
Thursday evening %nd so seriously in-
jured that for a day or two her life
was despaired of, but her condition
{now has improved to that extent that
| unless something unforseen occurs
' she will recover.
The accident happened shortly be-
{ fore six o'clock. The littile girl was
' following a load of hay and stepped
| from behind the wagon just as Mr.
| Condo, of Sugar valley, in a Ford car,
‘attempted to pass the wagon going in
‘an opposite direction. The child was
knocked down and although the car
"did not pass over her body she was
rendered unconscious, sustained a
broken collar bone and bad cuts on
the face and legs. The fact that she
did not regain consciousness until late
that night led the attending physician
to believe her condition critical, but
fortunately such has not proven to be
the case.
Two Other Auto Smashups.
Early Tuesday morning there was
a collision between an Overland car
and a Ford on the Griffith curve near
! Axe Mann, in which both cars were
pretty badly damaged. The Overland
was owned and driven by a young man
| from Mifflinburg who was coming to-
“ward Bellefonte. The Ford was the
property of a candy salesman, who
was on his way toward Pleasant Gap.
His car was not only badly damaged
but his candies were scattered broad-
cast.
The same morning young Fulton,
who drives the Milesburg Store com-
pany delivery, ran into a telephone
pole just above the home of W. Wit-
mer Smith near Milesburg, with the
ly wrecked.

A Fine Field of Corn.
About the nicest looking field of
corn that the writer has seen during
considerable travel over Centre coun-
ty is that of former County Treasur-
er G. G. Fink, north of Martha
Furnace. It is planted in “checker-
board” with a regularity that makes
it appear as if laid out by a surveyor
and such planting has made working
both ways possible so that scarcely a
weed of blade of grass can be seen in
the entire field.
In our judgment it is just a little
thick, but otherwise it is about as near
perfect as we could hope to see a field
of corn. :

visit here in thirty-four years he was some
stranger. Reub will be remembered as
the son of Augustus Smith, the tinner.
He is now the head of the salesmen of the
Du Pont Co’s paint and varnish lines and
while for years his territory has been in
the northwest he has lately been trans-
ferred to southern territory and will have
headquarters either at Richmond or Nor-
folk. An interesting incident of his visit
was his meeting with “Peg” Sager almost
immediately after his arrival. It was
Reub who rescued “Peg” from drowning
down at the old Lyon's slaughter house
when it stood about at the upper entrance
to the fair grounds. ‘‘Peg” was raising
eel lines and had gotten his wooden leg
tangled in the lines in such a way as to
render him helpless, when Reub happened
along on his way to work at the nail mill,
and hearing his cries for help rushed into
Bellefonte with her father.
the stream and pulled him out.
