THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY
——“Qutwitting the Hun” the thril-
ling war experience of Pat O’Brien,
begins in this issue of the “Watch-
man.” Don’t fail to read it.
The executive committee of the
Central Pennsylvania Firemen’s asso-
ciation has selected Houtzdale as the
place for holding the annual conven-
tion this year and the time Thursday,
August 22nd.
Announcement has been made
of the engagement of Miss Helen Mc-
Clure, of Pittsburgh, formerly of
Bellefonte, and Mr. Murdock Claney,
also of that place, who is now in train-
ing at Rock Island, Illinois.
——Thirty-nine State College stu-
dents were sent from that institution
on Wednesday morning to Plattsburg,
N. Y., for a six week’s course at the
officers’ training camp. Accompany-
ing the students was Raymond Dale.
of Ferguson township, who will also
take the course.
If your potatoes are showing
any signs of blight talk to county
farm agent Olmstead. He might be
able to tell you of some method of sav-
ing them from further injury. If re-
ports as to the condition of the pota-
to crop, generally, be true potatoes
will be potatoes next winter.
Two hundred guests were pres-
ent at the wedding reception given
Mr. and Mrs. Thompson Henry, by
Mr. Henry’s uncle and aunt, Budd
Thompson and Mrs. James Thompson,
at Port Matilda, Thursday night of
last week. Mr. and Mrs. Henry were
married at Mrs. Henry’s home in Car-
lisle, three weeks ago.
——A charter has been granted for
a bank at Spring Mills to be known
as the First National bank of Spring
Mills. The east end of the hotel at
that place has been leased as tempo-
rary banking quarters and it is ex-
pected to have the bank open for bus-
iness by September 1st. Doyle Hen-
derson, of Northumberland, will be
the cashier.
The annual meeting of the Nit-
tany Country club will be held tomor-
row (Saturday) when officers will be
elected for the ensuing year. It is
also likely that some action will be
taken regarding the keeping open or
closing of the club during the winter
months, owing to the fuel administra-
tion’s order that coal shall not be fur-
nished for clubs and non-essential
places.
——DBrief but impressive exercises
marked the observance of Bastille day
last Sunday by St. John’s Lutheran
church. After engaging in a short
season of silent prayer in behalf of
the allied cause, and following the
reading 'of an historical sketch de-
scribing the fall of the Bastille, Miss
Ruth Coxey sang the Marseilles.
Singing of the Star Spangled Banner
concluded the services.
——Cards were received in Belle-
fonte the latter part of last week an-
nouncing the marriage at Uhricsville,
Ohio, on July 10th, of Mrs. Margaret
T. Leggett to George Spalding Bliss.
The bride is very well known in Belle-
fonte, having been the very efficient
superintendent of the local hospital a
number of years. Mr. and Mrs. Bliss
will be at home at 739 Ostrom avenue,
Syracuse, N. Y., after August 15th.
Paul B. Stout, a member of the
state constabulary who was at one
time located in Bellefonte but who of
late has been located at the Wyoming
barracks, has been promoted from lieu-
tenant to captain to succeed ” Capt.
Charles Jacobs, of Greensburg, resign-
ed. Capt. Stout is a native of Milton
and before he joined the state con-
stabulary about twelve years ago was
a printer in the office of the Milton
Standard.
——While J. B. Mitchell, of Union
township, does not have a deer park
he has deer on his farm near the foot
of the Allegheny mountains. A herd
of five deer, a big buck, a doe with
two fawns and a yearling doe have
taken up their abode on the ridge near
his farm and frequently visit his fields :
in quest of fresh pasture. The deer
are quite tame and one day recently
the young doe went within a hundred
feet of Mr. Mitchell.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the Bellefonte Chautauqua will prob-
ably be the big attraction in Belle-
fonte the coming week, patrons of the
Scenic may feel assured that that pop-
ular place of amusement will be open
as usual with full programs of the
very best motion pictures obtainable.
The Pathe weeklies alone are worth
the cost of admission to a week’s
shows, while all the other pictures
will be highly interesting and enter-
taining.
——The “Watchman” has repeated-
ly urged the people of Bellefonte to
be more liberal in their patronage of
the Red Cross League base ball games.
The small admission price of ten cents
will not be missed by anybody, but
enough of them will add materially
to the fund for the Red Cross. But
this is not the only reason why the
games should be more liberally pa-
tronized. Another is encouragement
for the players who are giving their
time and working hard for the cause,
and it is rather discouraging to play
to tier after tier of empty seats.
Therefore, go out this evening and
see the game between the North and
West wards. The West ward boys on
Tuesday eevning shut out the South
ward team and they are going to try
and do the same trick on the North
ward team this evening. Go out and
see if they can.

——James Curtis Johnson, who last
week assumed the office of superin-
tendent of the Middle division of the
Pennsylvania railroad with headquar-
ters in Altoona, was born at Curtin,
this county, on April 26th, 1866, hence
is only a little over fifty-two years
old. His parents moved to Milton
when he was a boy and it was in the
public schools ef that city he secured
his education. He began his railroad
career as a telegraph operator in 1883,
when but seventeen years old and has
risen steadily to his present position.
Cross desires a good turnout for this
Burnside, J. Will Conley, George H.
Incidentally we mention the
1
fact that Capt. William H. Fry, of!
was seventy-five |
Pine Grove Mills,
years old yesterday and as a sort of
| celebration of the event his daughter,
‘Mrs. J. F. Kimport, of Boalsburg, en-
tertained him with a big dinner. We
might also add for the benefit of the
“Watchman” readers who are always
interested in the Captain’s pertinent
“Pine Grove Mentions,” that he has
been correspondent for this paper
continuously for fifty-six years, and
in all that time has missed very few
weeks.
Stocks.
The government is in need of wal-
nut lumber out of which gun stocks
may be made. Any Centre countian
who has walnut lumber on hand or
standing timber that he would cut for
such purpose can find a splendid mar-
ket for it at any of the plants work-
ing on government contracts. The
list of such plants may be procured
at the office of the Centre county
| Branch of the Council of National
| Defense on High street, Bellefonte.
Home Destroyed by Fire.
The home of Christian Robb, about
ia mile north of Blanchard, was com-
pletely destroyed by fire on Monday
evening. Mr. Robb lived alone and
was preparing his supper with an oil
stove about six o’clock when the stove
exploded setting fire to the interior
of the kitchen. The flames spread so
rapidly that he was unable to save
anything, and not only his home but
everything it contained was destroyed.
Mr. Robb carried only a small amount
of insurance, hence feels his loss very
keenly. Since the death of his wife
several years ago and the marriage of
his son he has lived alone.
ooo ——
Elk Destroying Crops.
Mr. R. G. Eisenhuth, of High val-
ley, telephoned the “Watchman” office
on Wednesday morning that the elk
in that section of the county are be-
coming unusually depredatious and
doing great damage to the crops in
the fields. Mr. Eisenhuth claims that
his field of twenty-five acres of corn
has been practically ruined by the elk,
and that a number of other farmers
have suffered considerable damage
from these animals. In these times,
when everything possible is being
done to conserve food products Mr.
Eisenhuth contends that the elk ought
to be removed from that locality and
put in some mountainous region where
they cannot damage growing crops.
Big Flag Raising at Coleville.
The citizens of Coleville are plan-
ning for a big flag raising on Satur-
day evening, July 27th, at eight
o’clock. The program will include
‘music by two bands, several addresses
by prominent speakers, etc. Follow-
ing the ceremonies incident to rais-
ing the flag a festival will be held.
Inasmuch as a sufficient sum of money
has already been raised to pay for the
flag and all expenses the entire pro-
ceeds of the festival will be turned
over to the Red Cross. The Bellefonte
Central Railroad company will run
busses from Bellefonte to Coleville at
a ten cent fare. The public is invited
to attend this gathering and show
their sympathy in this patriotic move-
ment of the people of Coleville.
Five More Bellefonte Young Men En-
ter Service. .
As announced last week the local
board inducted into service on Mon-
day John Scholl, Benedict Beezer,
Thomas Lamb and Lewis S. Schad
and at 1:26 o’clock p. m. they depart-
ed on the Pennsylvania-Lehigh train
for Lancaster to take a course in
special training at the Bowman tech-
nical institute. Quite a number of
friends of the young men were at the
train to see them depart.
The board also sent away on the
early train Monday morning one man,
DETRICK, CARL F., Bellefonte.
who was assigned to Delaware col-
lege, Newark, Del.,, to take special
training.
are pat a
! Penitentiary Sentence for Wife De-
serters.
Judge Singleton Bell, of Clearfield
county, recently sentenced Levi Gra-
ham to serve one year at hard labor
in the western penitentiary for wife
desertion and that the State pay his
dependents 65 cents a day. The ques-
tion of the legality of the sentence
was taken up with the Attorney Gen-
eral and “the decision given was that
Judge Bell had the legal power to im-
pose a penitentiary sentence for wife
desertion, but that there is no law
compelling the penitentiary officials
to pay to the man’s dependents the
sum of 65 cents a day, or any other
sum; and unless that part of the sen-
tence is rescinded the county of Clear-
field will have to pay the bill.
Men in the Service.
Philip Reynolds, youngest son of
Col. and Mrs. W. Fred Reynolds, is
spending a week in Bellefonte with
his parents. He was recently ap-
pointed an ensign in the United States
navy and will report at New York
next Thursday for assignment.
Lieut. Francis E. Thomas, son of
Supt. and Mrs. F. H. Thomas, sailed
for France last Saturday. He came
east from Oklahoma and was unable
to stop in Bellefonte to say good-bye
to his friends. Francis is now a lieu-
tenant in the Third U. S. field artil-
lery.
A letter has been received in Belle-
fonte from Calvin Rice, announcing
his safe arrival in France and detail-
ing the fact that he likes the service
and is getting along fine.
Miss Nancy Hunter Appointed Direc- :
tor of Food Conservation.
Miss Nancy Hunter has been ap-
pointed director of food conservation
for Centre county on the Council of
of the work during the summer.
The federal food administration in,
Pennsylvania has just received the
stimulation of a class of fifty-three
women who have taken a two week’s |
course in food conservation at State!
College. These women have pledged
their services to the government to
demonstrate in their own communities
‘the value of food substitutes and con-
servation of fruits and vegetables.
The two week's course at the College |
was a splendid opportunity for the
women to receive the last word in food
economics and the fact that fifty-three
women representing over thirty coun- |
ties in the State availed themselves
of the opportunity to take the course
is evidence that they have the cause
at heart and intend doing their part |
in the great work of food conserva-
tion.
The college authorities were so im- |
pressed with the enthusiasm display-
ed by the women that Howard Heinz,
federal food administrator for Penn-
sylvania was invited to visit the Col-
lege and made a special trip there on
Thursday of last week to see them at
work and encourage them in a brief
talk on the food situation in general
as now viewed by the food administra-
tion.
Included in the corps of demonstra-
tors and lecturers during the two
weeks was Mrs. Helen Shaw Rider, of
New York city, who has been promi-
nently identified with the food conser-
vation work in New York State dur-
ing the past year.
The First Response.
In last Friday’s issue we made an
appeal to our subscribers for help in
the matter of raising funds with which
to pay for $900.00 worth of paper
which we have been compelled to pur-
chase in order that the “Watchman”
will be insured a supply of paper for
some time in the future.
Bright and early Monday morning
when the writer approached the
“Watchman” building the first thing
that attracted his attention was a
great pile of paper on the curb. The
car had arrived and the drayman had
delivered the contents to this office,
but lucky as we at first thought our-
selves in having secured such prompt
delivery the joy all faded when the
thought came bounding into mind that
here is the paper, all right, but where
is the money to pay for it.
On the desk inside was the morning
mail to be opened and the very first
letter contained a remittance from
Dave Kelly, who is now located in
Ford City, Pa., who wrote that his en-
closure was “a little help toward that
$900.00.” Golly, what visions Dave’s
letter brought before our eyes. There
were piles of letters underneath it and
we chuckled because of the hope that
all of them were on the same mission.
There wasn’t one other. All of the
rest were circulars from Mr. Hoover,
Mr. Heinz, Mr. Potter and others set-
ting forth new, food, fuel and other
government regulations. All the glow
of hope faded away and we settled
down to the little comfort that hope
brings. Hope that you, dear reader,
will “help a little” and do it quick.
Benefit Festival for Our Girls Band
of Milesburg:
A festival will be held on the green
at Milesburg tomorrow (Saturday)
evening for the benefit of Our Girls
band and the “Watchman” herewith
makes a special plea for a good at-
tendance and liberal patronage.
Practically everybody in Centre coun-
ty knows of Our Girls band and have
heard them play at one time or anoth-
er. They have appeared in every pa-
triotic parade held in Bellefonte dur-
ing the past year and have given their
services without asking a cent of re-
muneration. So far the girls have
been using second hand musical in-
struments and they are now endeav-
oring to accumulate a fund for the
purchase of new instruments and it is
for this the festival will be held. Mu-
sic will be furnished alternatively by
Our Girls band and by those members
of Our Boys band who have not en-
tered the U. S. service. There will
be an abundance of ice cream and
cake, with cake walks a specialty. Go
and help the girls along if you can,
but if you can’t go, send them a cake
and it will be gratefully appreciated.
In addition to the music to be fur-
nished by the Milesburg musical or-
ganizations the Italian band from Re-
novo, which will come to Bellefonte
tomorrow evening for the big parade
on Sunday, will go to Milesburg and
give a concert during the festival.
This will be an added attraction that
the music-loving people of Centre
county should not fail to hear.
Judge Bell Decides in Favor of Jones.
In a decree handed down late F'ri-
day afternoon Judge Singleton Bell,
of Clearfield, refused to grant the pe-
tition of W. I. Swope for a recount of
the vote cast at Helvetia, Clearfield
county, in the recent primaries. Mr.
Swoope’s petition was based on the
fact that the primaries were held in
a hotel instead of in a school house, but
the court held that neither fraud nor
error was proven and on the basis
that “necessity knows no law,” the
holding of the primaries in a ‘hotel
did not invalidate the votes cast. The
decision of Judge Bell leaves Evan T.
Jones the Republican nominee for
Congress in this district. Whether
Mr. Swoope will appeal the case to a
higher tribunal has not been divulged,
but it is hardly probable.
