The pictures were taken in New York
before Miss Rhoads sailed for France.
You don’t have to watch the
boards at the Lyric to find out when
there will be a good program of mo-

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. Don't miss it.

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:”

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.

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.

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.
