You don’t have to watch the boards at the Lyric to find out when there will be a good program of mo- tion pictures, as interesting pictures are being shown there every evening in the week. If you are not a regular attendant at the Lyric get in line and see something good. The trout fishing season came to an end yesterday. While -the sea- son this year was just as long as it has been for several years past yet during more than half the time the water and weather were unfavorable so that the total catch has been below the ordinary for a season. ——The rain and cloudy weather prevented the ball game on Tuesday evening between the South and West ward teams of the Red Cross league, but the game this evening between the North and West ward teams should be both interesting and excit- ing. Go out and see the contest and help along with the fund for the local Red Cross. : The annual Hazel-Schaeffer re- union will not: be held this year. This was definitely decided upon among the members of these two leading fami- lies on Wednesday. They unanimous- ly agreed that in order to conserve food and other necessities and lend their energies in other needful direc- tions it would be best to dispense with the reunion this year. Dr. Edward Harris has recov- ered sufficiently to leave the Belle- fonte hospital and return to his home in Snow Shoe. Mrs. Harris is still confined to the hospital, an X-ray showing a fracture of both the right In fact her con- recovered sufficiently to be removed “wt from the Hospital to her home. ¢ The Bellefonte hospital got a nice contribution of fresh fish about three o’clock on Saturday morning. The fish were the proceeds of a raid made by state policemen en an illegal fishing party down Bald Eagle valley on Friday night. Just who composed the party of fishermen was not di- vulged but the fact that they had gathered in some twenty-five or thir- ty pounds of good, edible fish is evi- dence that they had some experience in that line of work. ——Contractors are up against all kinds of problems these days to se- cure material with which to work. As an instance, Gehret & Lambert have the contract for building a tipple and other equipment at the mine of the Clearfield and Covington Coal compa- ny, at Karthaus, but have not been able to secure the necessary lumber. Not to be outdone they this week pur- chased a small portable saw-mill which they will install on the land of the above company at Karthaus and saw their own lumber. Announcement was made of the engagement of Miss Pauline Holt Johnston and Wayne D. Stitzinger, of New Castle, at an evening party giv- en at the home of Miss Johnston’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Kennedy Johnston, Thursday night of last week. Mr. Stitzinger was a member of the class of 1917 Bellefonte Acad- emy and since his honorable discharge from service on account of ill health, has been looking after lumber inter- ests at Irving, W. Va. The wedding has been arranged for the fall. : The protracted drought which has prevailed in this section of the State was pretty thoroughly broken on Monday and Tuesday of this week when sufficient rain fell to wet the ground to a depth sufficient for all growing crops and vegetation. That it will mean hundreds of thousands of dollars to the farmers and gardeners of Pennsylvania is quite evident. As it is the corn crop is at least three weeks further advanced than last year and the rain of the early part of the week will help it materially in matur- ing. Our boys are now fighting the Hun in Germany, fighting for the sal- vation of our own country as well as for the freedom of other countries. If you want a clear and untarnished in- sight to the true nature of the Hun see Ambassador Gerard’s motion pic- ture “My Four Years in Germany,” at the Scenic next Monday and Tues- day, matinee and night. This is a picture that should not be missed by anyone old enough to understand po- litical diplomacy and governmental treachery. The government of the United States was fortunate in hav- ing at Berlin a man like Gerard, and the picture portrays incidents leading up to the war as well as happenings the first two years of the war in a very accurate manner.

The local exemption board began the work yesterday of examining the class of 1918 registrants. Just 311 young men registered on June bth, and it will require about a week in which to complete the examinations. ooo With the Men in Service. Edmund P. Hayes won a commis- sion as second lieutenant in the in- fantry last week through his own per- sistent efforts. Edmund at first at- tended an officers’ training camp and while he passed an excellent examina- tion he was turned down for a com- mission on account of his eyes. Next he tried for a commission on a ma- chine gunner’s unit but met with the same fate. Not to be outdone he again tried in the quartermaster’s de- partment but again was adjudged un- fit for overseas duty on account of his eyes. Then it was he decided on a trip to Washington, and on his way there he stopped in Bellefonte last week. He went to Washington and laid his case before the proper author- ities in the War Department with the result that he was given a commis- sion as second lieutenant in the in- fantry and will be assigned to over- seas duty. He returned to Bellefonte Sunday morning and the same after- noon left for his training camp at Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga. John Derstine and John McNichol, two Bellefonte sailor boys, spent a few days the past week with Belle- fonte friends. They are both sailors on the Leviathan, which before it was taken over by the government was the big German liner, the Deutschland, the biggest ship afloat. It has carried as high as 10,000 soldiers across the Atlantic on a single trip and it is now being reconstructed in such a manner that its capacity will be doubled. Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Thomas receiv- ed a card on Tuesday announcing the safe arrival of their son, Lieut. Fran- cis E. Thomas, in France. John Klinger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Klinger, of east Lamb street, sur- prised his parents by coming home very unexpectedly on Tuesday morn- ing on a ten day’s furlough. John is now on the ship Agamemnon, which is one of the German liners seized by the United States government. When the German government de- clared that the United States would not fight as its people were too busy making money to think of fighting they had a poor conception of the spirit of the American youth. Two years ago Andrew Cruse, son of Mr. and Mrs. Templeton G. Cruse, of Pittsburgh, graduated in the Wilkins- burg High school. He at that time . aspired to an appointment in the Na- val Academy at Annapolis but was too young. He improved his time by taking a two year’s course in electric- al engineering at Carnegie Tech and last spring was appointed an alter- fonte on Saturday to see if anything | nate to the Naval Academy by Con- gressman John Moran, of Pittsburgh. The principal appointee was the Con- | gressman’s own son who failed to pass the examination. The first alternate also failed to pass and then came young Cruse’s turn. He easily pass- ed the mental examination but when it came to the physical examination he was turned down. He appealed to the Surgeon General at Washington who told him that his defect could be overcome by an operation. About the middle of May he put himself in the hands of a well known surgeon in Pittsburgh and his trouble was more complex than at first believed, as he had to submit to three operations, but it resulted in fixing him up and early in July he left for Annapolis to take He passed both successfully and last week was ‘admitted as a full-fledged cadet, thus | attaining the height of his ambition to the proud satisfaction of both him- | self and his parents. Another bunch of Bellefonte boys have heard the wild waves sighing and enlisted in the navy. Frederick Daggett and Joseph Wagner went to Williamsport on Tuesday, took their | examination and left for Newport, R. I, on Wednesday, where they will be given a month’s training then expect to be sent to a Harvard training sta- tion. Herbert Beezer and Gregg Shel- don left on Wednesday morning for Pelham Bay, N. Y., and next Tuesday John Smith and Francis Crawford will go to Williamsport to be sworn into the service then go to the New- | port, R. L, training station. Earle Layton Waterman, of State College, has been commissioned a first lieutenant in the Sanitary corps. On or about June 15th Allison Mar- tin, the seventeen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Martin, of Belle- fonte, ran away to Williamsport and enlisted being assigned to Troop K, U. S. cavalry, stationed at Deria, Tex- as, where they are doing guard duty on the Mexican border. Though young Allison is well matured and a husky lad, and in a letter to his ‘par- ents this week he says he likes the life and cannot understand why every young man doesn’t step to the front and enlist. In their athletic contests recently Allison was in the stone throwing event and won over all con- testants by throwing a stone across the Rio Grande river. Friends of Miss Rebecca N. Rhoads have received word that she has ar- rived safely in France and anticipates in a short time being engaged in Y. M. C. A. canteen work, for which she went abroad. Nicolla Lalli, who so gallantly marched away with the last delega- tion of national army men sent to Camp Lee, returned home on Sunday, having been discharged from: the service on account of his eyes. Now this must not be taken as any reflec- tion on Lalli’s patriotism, because he wanted to stay. In fact when he went away it was with the hope that the occulists connected with the U. S. ar- my would be able to fix his eyes so that he could stay, but his vision was considered too defective to permit of him being kept in the service. Of course, as Uncle Sam could not see his way clear to keep him in the service Lalli was glad to get back to Belle- fonte. In spegking of Camp Lee he said that it was a great place and he liked it, as they did have good things to eat and lots of it. Sergeant Harry Schreffler arrived home yesterday afternoon on a ten day’s furlough from Camp Antonio, Texas, where he has been stationed the past six months assisting in the training of cavalry. Sergt. Schreffler is one of the old Troop L boys and when the troop was disbanded at Camp Hancock he was sent to Texas. Although he has no definite knowl- edge of just when they will go he is inclined to think that the cavalry will soon be sent overseas. . “A friend of the “Watchman” at Howard writes as follows: “Howard borough is doing its share in furnish- ing soldiers to make the world safe for democracy and a safe place to live ‘in. Up to the present time just thir- ty-four of its young men have gone to help lick the Kaiser. If the same ratio according to population were in the army from all of the United States Uncle Sam would now have an army of over five million soldiers. Following is a complete list of the young men of Howard borough who are now in the service:” Charles Longee Joseph Longee John Kelly William Kelly Edward Kelly Philip C. Holter Cameron Holter Walter Holter John J. R. Williams Willard Neff Clifford Holter Marion Pletcher Fred Pletcher Gilbert Shope Harry Mufily Walter Mufily Paul B. Wagner Vinton R. Schenck Ralph Harvey Malcolm Schenck Albert Confer (dead) Walter Confer Walter M. Smith Merrill Smith Samuel Payne Mann Harry Diehl Arthur Gardner George Foresman Archibald Condo Dean Bennison Frank Columbine George Columbine Clair Lyons Capt. W. C. Hensyl Adjutant General F. D. Beary has issued an order to all organiza- tions of the’ Pennsylvania reserve mili- tia that they are to invite all Class Al men who are likely soon to be call- ed into the national army to attend their regular drills and schools and thus obtain a preliminary knowledge of military science and discipline. The Bellefonte mounted machine gun unit holds drills every Thursday even- ing and Lieut. Wilbur Saxion will be glad to have any young man who is likely to be called into thé service soon attend drills and thus obtain a preliminary knowledge that will be very useful to him once he is called into service. ‘Farmers and Others Don’t Want Road | i Abandoned. | : { A number of farmers and business | men of Nittany valley were in Belle- | ican be done to prevent the suspen-: ‘sion of business by the Central Rail- | road of Pennsylvania. Now that steps ; ‘have been taken to have its charter | ' dissolved, which naturally means the | | abandonment of the road as a common ! | carrier, the people of Nittany valley | {are beginning to realize just what it | | will mean to them to have the road | itorn up. Many farmers of that sec- | [tion recall the days before the road | was built twenty-five years ago, when | : they were compelled to haul all their | i produce either to Bellefonte or Lock | i Haven, or across the mountain to | | Howard, and naturally they don’t fan- icy the idea of doing so now. On the other hand it is a question of the receipts of the road not being sufficient to meet eperating expenses, and no concern can exist long under such a contingency. Had the govern- ment taken over the Central Railroad Company of Pennsylvania when it took over the other railroads there would be no action now looking to its abandonment. But it was one of about seventeen hundred short line roads that the government did not consider necessary for the conduct of the war, hence declined to take them over. Freight shippers to and from Nit- tany valley will be the hardest hit by the abandonment of the road. They are endeavoring to find some solutirn of the difficulty that will keep the road intact, but the very fact that under the present high scale of wages and high prices for everything the roads’ receipts will not ‘meet operating ex- penses is an argument against con- tinuing it as a common carrier that cannot well be overcome. The whole matter, however, will likely be thresh- ed out at the hearing to be held in Common Pleas court, No. 4, Philadel- phia, on August 19th. In line with the action of the Cen- tral Railroad of Pennsylvania steps have also been taken by the Bellefonte Central railroad company for the abandonment of that portion of its line from a point west of State Col- legesto Pine Grove Mills, owing to the fact that it, also, is not a paying prop- osition. cove - Col. Taylor Gets Good Appointment. Col. H. S. Taylor has received the appointment of inspector in the in- come tax department and is now at Col. Gresham’s office in Williamsport getting the dope on his official duties. Col. and Mrs. Taylor left Bellefonte last Thursday on a trip to Philadel- phia and Atlantic City and while in the former place the Colonel was no- tified of his appointment. He was in Philadelphia until Tuesday when he was sent to Williamsport. Though it is not definitely known it is under- stood that the Colonel will be able to make his headquarters in Bellefonte and look after the duties of .his ap- pointment from here. While the “Watchman” is not in- formed as to the exact emoluments connected with the appointment, it is known that the office car- ries with it a nice salary and we know of no person who is more entitled to it than just Col. Taylor. Ever since the United States entered the world war he has tried to get into active service, not service behind the firing line but active duty on the field of battle. He offered his services in var- ious capacities but there is no ruling in the War Department whereby his services could be accepted. Notwithstanding this fact he gave liberally of his time in the organiza- tion of the boys’ working reserve in Centre county, talked patriotism to the people of Centre county on every opportunity and has done everything in his power to help the government in its war work, and there is no ques- tion but that in his new appointment he will render just and equitable serv- ice between the individual and the government. —c——ee et ft Cow Hung by the Tail. Harold Kirk’s cow Eliza, one of his best milkers on the farm, hung her- self by the tail last Wednesday and had it not been for the persistent hunt made by Harold and his father, Dr. M. A. Kirk, on Thursday morning Eliza would have been dead long ere this. The cows were out in pasture in a field adjoining a piece of woodland. When they were brought in in the evening for the customary milking Eliza was missing. All efforts to lo- cate her that evening we:e unsuccess- ful. Thursday morning the doctor went out to the farm and he and Har- old undertook a systematic search of the woodland adjoining the field. In due course of time they found Eliza and it was at once discovered that the reason she did not return home was because she was hung by the tail to a small sapling. Ir switching her tail the long strands of hair wrapped around a sapling and became fasten- ed in such a way that she could not pull her caudal appendage loose. How long she had been in that predicament is not known but it must have been at least eighteen hours and she could not have survived much longer. ——The P. O. S. of A. of Woodward will hold their twenty-fourth annual reunion and picnic at Woodward to- morrow (Saturday). The West Mil- ton band has been engaged to furnish the music. During the day a service flag will be dedicated in honor of the boys who have gone forth to service from Haines township. There will also be good speaking and a benefit for the Red Cross during the evening. The public is invited. NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. — —Mrs. C. T.
