m., at the home of Miss Sally Fitz-
gerald, on Spring street.
——The Misses Catharine Musser,
May Taylor and Helen Harper are
spending two weeks up at the Kern
and Bartlet bungalow on Spring
creek. The young ladies are natural-
ly all enjoying their outing but the
cold weather the fore part of the week
was not as enjoyable.as a little more
sunshine would have been.
——Capt. Robert B. Reed, associate
chief of the bureau for the war zone
of the American Red Cross in Paris, |
France, will speak in the court house |
this (Friday) evening at 8:30 o’clock. |
Capt. Reed is no stranger in Belle-
fonte and the public is cordially invit- |
ed to hear him. He will speak on the
work of the Red Cross.
——Contractor R. B. Taylor is mak-
ing good headway in the grading on |
south Water and Willowbank streets,
but even at that, it will be weeks be-
fore the new roadway is completed.
The streets are now closed to through
traffic and all travel to and from the
Buffalo Run valley and Spring creek
must detour over the back road by
way of the slaughter houses.
It is requested that ali finished
socks and sweaters be turned in to the
Red Cross at once as they are needed;
also any women desirous of doing |
knitting, can secure wool from Miss |
Morris. The Bellefonte Chapter has
been asked to make, before October |
1st, two hundred sleeveless sweaters
and two hundred pairs of socks, so all
knitters are requested to please help. |
——Shortly before noon on Sun-
day, June 30th, a freight wreck occur-
red about a mile west of Curtin when
fifteen loaded cars were either piled
up or rolled over the embankment.
The wreck was caused by the pulling
out of a drawhead. The morning
trains got through before the wreck
while the Lehigh-Pennsylvania was
run west over the Lewisburg and Ty-
rone division, passing through Belle- |

the evening valley trains were trans-
ferred at the wreck.
The Fourth of July in Belle-
fonte was exceptionally quiet. With
nothing doing in the way of a patriot-
ic demonstration everybody who could
get out of town conveniently went.
Some went to State College to see the
demonstration there. Others went to
Port Matilda, where there was a big |
gathering. Quite a number went to |
Fishing creek to spend the day while |
a few families went to the woods for
a picnic dinner. Those who remain-
ed at home had a hard time figuring
out whether the day was the glorious
Fourth or the sacred Sabbath.

erhoff house and on Monday will go
to Hollidaysburg as machinist’s help-
er in the round house on the Middle
division of the Pennsylvania railroad.
He will also fill in as drummer in the
Middle division band. Born and. rais-
ed in Bellefonte Mr. Rhoads has made
many friends here who will be sorry |
to see him leave the town, but feel!
confident he will make good in any
position in which he is placed. In
manipulating the drums he will also
be an excellent acquisition to the Mid-
dle division band of Altoona.
——1In the last issue of. the
“Watchman” a story was printed
about the arrest of J. C. and J. E.

came to Bellefonte for the hearing be-
fore Squire S. Kline Woodring on the
afternoon of June 28th, but the case
was settled by the Mark brothers
pleading guilty under the act of the
Legislature by which the stream was
closed and paying fines of $20 each
and costs, while young Nixon was dis-
charged because he had enlisted for
service and upon his promise to report
the next day to the Punxsutawney re-
cruiting station.
Walter Gherrity entertained a
crowd of Bellefonte gentlemen at his
hospitable heme in the Seven moun-
tains, above the old Foust place, on
Sunday, giving them a chicken dinner
"with all the side dishes of vegetables
right from his home garden. During
the afternoon one of his guests killed
a large blacksnake which was said to
be six feet five inches in length and
as thick as a boy’s wrist. When Wal-
ter was told of the killing of the
snake he informed the men that they
had killed one of his pets. He told
them that that blacksnake had been
there the past eight or ten years and
made itself at home on all occasions.
In fact, he said, he had prized it very
highly, because if he of an evening
forgot to milk his cows the blacksnake
would make it a point to relieve them
of the milk and thus prevent the ud-
ders from caking. Of course his
guests were sorry they had killed the
snake when it was such a pet and so
useful, and they had no reason to dis-
believe Walter's word.

BIG RECEPTION FOR LAST CONTIN-
GENT SENT AWAY.
The last big contingent sent away
was just two weeks ago today when
158 men were sent to Camp Lee. The
parade for the boys the evening prior
to their going was one of the biggest
demonstrations held up to that time.
A new feature in the parade was a
delegation of Italian citizens and a
column of five carrying the flags of
the allies. At the head of the Italian
delegation were carried the United '
States and Italian flags side by side,
the standard bearers being Petro Per-
rechis for the Stars and Stripes and
Petro Mancisci the Italian flag. The
standard bearers for the flags of the
Allies were Tiny McMann, the Stars
and Stripes; Nicola Lalli, the Italian;
John Mignot, the French; John Has-
sell, the British, and Mike Lukowich,
the Belgian.
An unusually large crowd was in
Bellefonte on Friday afternoon, June
| 28th, to see the boys leave. Headed
by the Runville band they marched
‘down High street in four platoons
and entrained in a special train which
(left over the Lewisburg and Tyrone
railroad at two o’clock.
On Monday of last week, or July
1st, five young men were sent to Del-
‘aware College, Newark, Del, for
‘training as machinists, electricians,
| blacksmiths, etc. These men were as

Farm Bureau Agents Hold Confer-
ence at State College.
i
|
County farm bureau agents from
11 over Pennsylvania held a four
! day’ s conference at State College this
week which closed yesterday after-
noon. At the present time there are
upwards of fifty farm bureau agents
(in the State and practically all of
them were present at the conference.
On Tuesday the agents, accompa-
nied by a number of professors at
State College, drove out to Snow Shoe
to see how the experiment of reclaim-
ing the Dekalb soil is coming along.
This spring the twenty plots of
ground on which the experiments are
being conducted were planted in corn.
On the plots where no fertilizer was
used the corn is only about six to
eight inches high while that on the
ground fertilized stands two feet tall.
‘Just how the crop will show up at
maturity remains to be seen, but it is,
quite evident that with proper fertil-
ization the Dekalb soil can be made!
.to yield profitable returns.

James G. Bent Badly Hurt in Auto
Accident.
James G. Bent, of the western pen-
itentiary, had his left arm and shoul-
der badly broken and sustained a
‘serious cut on the head in an automo-
bile accident at the Griffith curve,
near Axe Mann on Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Bent, with Edward Furey and Al-
bert Knisely were on their way home
with M. F. Broderick in his Ford car:
shortly before five o’clock and in com-
ing around the curve at Griffiths they
collided with G- W- Potter, of Centre
Hall, in his Ford car:
Mr. Bent was the only man serious-
ly injured. He was occupying the
rear seat of the Broderick car and
when the collision occurred he was
thrown through the windshields of
both cars, landing inside the Potter
car. The bones of his left arm were
broken in three places between the el-
bow and shoulder and the shoulder
blade was broken in such a way that
splinters of bone protruded through
the flesh. As quickly as possible help
was secured and the injured man was
tbrought to the Bellefonte hospital
where everything possible is being
‘done for him. None of the other men
in the mixup were badly hurt.
i Mr. Broderick’s car was badly dam-
aged and was towed into Bellefonte
for repairs. Mr. Potter’s car was
also damaged to some extent. Just
who was to blame for the accident is,
of course, a debatable question. The
Griffith curve is one of the most dan-
gerous on any road in this section and
as long as automobilists fail to ob-
serve the utmost care and caution in
rounding that curve there are going to
be accidents, because two automobiles
going in opposite directions cannot
pass on the > same side of the highway.
Ww. C. Cassidy to dave Bellefonte.
William C. Cassidy last week sold
his job printing office in the Crider
stone building to a company of
buyers preparatory to leaving
Bellefonte for his old home in Canton,
Ohio, where he will assist his father
{in the management of his job print-
ing office in that city.
Mr. Cassidy came to Bellefonte
thirty-three years ago with his fath-
er, Major Robert A. Cassidy when the
latter, in connection with James A.
Fiedler started the Keystone Gazette.
He was the efficient foreman in that
office until the newspaper changed
hands when he opened up a job office
in a room in the Crider building which
he has conducted ever since. His only
reason for selling out and leaving
Bellefonte now is the failing health of
his father and a natural desire to be
near him.
Just when Mr. Cassidy will leave
Bellefonte will depend upon the ur-
gency of his need in Canton. He has
some business matters to close up
here and may remain here a week or
two, and again may leave in a few
days. He will not move his household
effects to Canton, however, until in’
September. The flat he now occupies
in Petrikin hall will likely be taken
by Mrs. C. D. Tanner, who is plan-
ning to give up the house she now oc-
cupies on High street and just take
table boarders and d not roomers.
Thief Caught | With Goods On Him.
For some time past various articles
have been missed from the Adams ex-
press office in this place.
broken open and some of the contents
removed but no one seemed able to
detect the guilty party. Finally a de-
tective came to Bellefonte from Sun-
bury and after doing a little quiet
sleuthing decided that the stealing
was being done by one of the drivers
for the company. Accordingly a
search warrant was secured and going
to the young man’s home the officer
found three pairs of shoes and a
quantity of cigarettes. The young
man was immediately arrested and
put in jail, notwithstanding the fact
that he strongly denied all knowledge
of the crime. After several days in
jail, however, he weakened and con-
fessed, and finally settled the case by
paying for the articles taken and
costs, a matter of almost thirty-five
dollars.
Notice to Mothers.
The Patriotic League is considering
opening a playground on the school
commons immediately following the
Bellefonte Chautauqua and to contin-
‘ue through August. It will be for the
benefit of mothers who wish to attend
the Red Cross Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday afternoons. All children
over three years old are welcome to
attend.
In connection with this movement
the committee in charge would appre-
jciate it if anyone having any equip-
{ment suitable for a playground would
‘loan it to the League. Further notice
will be given later.

mess of Spring creek trout that no one
