THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY
Mrs. Nancy Mc Moon celebrated
her eighty-ninth birthday Tuesday of
last week, at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Harry Curtin, at Curtin.
President Wilson reappointed
two thousand postmasters on Friday
and in the list were Robert M. Fos-
ter, of State College, and Paul O.
Brosius, of Lock Haven.
Lock Haven people are feeling
very much elated over the fact that
that city is to be made one of the
stopping places for the New York to
Cleveland mail aeroplanes. It is fig-
ured that the flight from New York
to Lock Haven will take about two
and three-quarter hours.
“Can all you can,” has been
one of Hoover's favorite slogans this
year, and just because they can the
western penitentiary folks are going
to can all they can. Their equipment
is such that they can can all kinds of
produce and some days they can as
much as two hundred bushels of to-
matoes, not counting the corn and
other produce they can.
also drying corn and evaporating ap-
ples and expect to have an ample sup-
ply of all such things for winter use.
——“Pershing’s Crusaders” drew
big houses at the Scenic on Monday
and Tuesday, which shows that mo-
tion picture fans appreciate good pic-
tures, and the place where they can
always see them is the Scenic. This
is the big point in Mr. Brown’s man-
agement. He always keeps his line
of pictures just a little above the av-
erage standard and whenever he can
secure anything extra good, he gets
it, no matter what the cost. That is
the reason why the public should pa-
tronize the Scenic.
Young and old alike in France
take off their hats and stand at atten-
tion when the Stars and Stripes go
by. Yesterday, when they were car-
ried down High street in the honor
escort for departing soldiers, an old
rebel Colonel, W. R. Teller, and a lad
not more than eighteen years old
were the only two persons who paid
any attention to it. The former un-
covered and the lad, at once faced the
flag, uncovered and stood at atten-
tion. Both incidents caught our at-
tention because they are so rare and
so splendid.
The old grain elevator that has
stood for many years at the coal yard
southwest of the Pennsylvania rail-
road depot has been razed to the
ground and this is only part of the
old buildings in that locality to be
demolished by Nathan Ichkowitz, who
recently purchased the property from
Hon. A. G. Morris. One or two of
the old buildings at the western end
of the alley have been torn down and
others are to follow. In fact he plans
a general cleaning up of the place
and the erection of one or more
houses on Thomas street.
With a fine musical program
offered by Mrs. A. C. Farish, of At-
lantic City, harpist and soloist, add-
ed to that of the well known Harmon-
ic club of Bellefonte, and the oppor-
tunity of contributing to Miss Lau-
rie’s canteen work in France, should
make next Monday night’s concert
the most popular of Bellefonte’s ben-
efits for the season. Do not fail to
buy a ticket, which will only be twen-
ty-five cents, whether able to be there
or not. The concert will be given in
the High school auditorium and will
begin promptly at 8:15 o’clock.
——Rev. Josiah Still, of Centre
Hall, was the victim of an automo-
bile accident on Saturday afternoon
which kept him from filling an ap-
pointment to preach a sermon in the
Presbyterian church at Northumber-
land. He intended going down on the
afternoon train but got to the sta-
tion at Centre Hall just as the train
pulled out. Then he decided to mo-
tor down and returned to the Boozer
garage to get some gasoline. He
got started on his way just as the
hard rain began to fall. He reached
into the rear of the car to get his rain
coat and in doing so his hold on the
wheel slackened with the result that
he ran into a tree in front of the Mrs.
J. F. Alexander home. His car was
eonsiderably damaged while he sus-
tained several bad cuts on the hand
and injuries on his side and leg. He
was helped into the home of Mr. and
Mrs. I. A. Sweetwood where a phy-
sician gave him proper attention. He
was able to get around a little by
Monday and will soon be all right
again.
At six o'clock last Thursday
evening Mr. and Mrs. John Sampsel
who live on the Blue Spring farm,
near Pleasant Gap, gave a dinner to
ten gentlemen in honor of John M.
Shugert, their landlord. It was a
wonderful affair and the Hooverized
town gentlemen who were fortunate
enough to be there carried on with the
real white bread, fried chicken and
countless vegetables, all prepared by
a lady whe truly knows how to cook,
until they had no room in which to do
the delicious ice cream justice. While
we would do it right over again, if
we had the chance, it’s really a shame
to give us a glimpse and a taste of
such a feast. Living under condi-
tions, as most of us are, where all the
spring chicken one can stow away is
only realized in dreams and where
real white bread is not even to be
dreamed: about such an oppertunity
as was that ef last Thursday evening
only adds to the horror of living when
we sit down to our usual meal that is
eat-less or the rest won't get their
share.
They are!
i
MANY GALLONS OF GASOLINE | qAAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
SAVED.
Autoists Generally Observed Request
for Autoless Sunday.
The old gray mare came into her
own again on Sunday when auto own-
ers pretty generally heeded the re-
quest of fuel administrator Garfield
for an autoless Sunday and allowed
their machines to stand in the shed,
while those who had horses and rigs
once again brought them into service,
and the result was more horses were
| seen in Bellefonte on Sunday than
have been on the streets for some
time past.
The Emerick motor busses made
their regular scheduled trips and the
White Line taxis were in service but
aside from the above Bellefonte peo-
ple regarded the request religiously.
A few country people came to Belle-
fonte, several Snow Shoe cars were
in, and a very few travelers were on
the road, but most of the latter were
held up on account of the hard rain
Saturday evening, so that there were
very few wilful slackers driving cars
on Sunday.
And the saving of gasoline can be
estimated from the amount that was
saved in Bellefonte alone. On Fri-
day evening the garage owners of
Bellefonte held a meeting and decid-
ed to close tight on Sunday and not
furnish gas to any person unless it
was a case of dire necessity, and the
result was a saving of approximately
1160 gallons from the normal Sunday
consumption. The normal Sunday
sales in Bellefonte are as follows:
J. O. Heverley, 325 gallons; sold 10
gallons Sunday, six to Lewistown bus
and four to an army truck. Beatty
garage 200 gallons; took five gallons
in their own car to make a trouble
trip. Paul McGarvey, 250 gallons;
no sale on Sunday. The Wian garage,
200 galions; no sale on Sunday. The
Emerick garage used gasoline only
in their busses and made no sales.
The Beezer garage, 200 gallons; no
sales. From the above it will be seen
that just 1160 gallons were saved in
Bellefonte alone, while the saving in
ail of Centre county would run into
the thousands of gallons.
To get an idea as to how fully au-
tomobilists would heed the request
to save gasoline the Atlantic Refin-
ing company made a count of the
number of motor driven vehicles pass-
ing the corners of Bishop and Alle-
gheny streets from four to six o‘clock
Saturday evening and the returns
were just 127 automobiles and 44
trucks. In the same time on Sunday
evening there were 30 autos and 6
trucks.
The Atlantic Refining company has
just completed the erection of a new
tank in this place with a capacity of
42,000 gallons. It is an immense
tank and looks big enough to hold
a sufficient quantity of gasoline for a
six month’s supply, but it isn’t. Ten
or twelve years ago a tank car of gas-
oline, 6000 gallons, would last the At-
lantic Refining company station in
Bellefonte one year. Today it takes
five such cars to supply the demand
for one month. With a monthly de-
mand of 30,000 gallons the big tank
just completed will hold less than a
two month’s supply.
The tank was completed and tested
Wednesday evening when it was
pumped full of water by the Undine
fire company. It took the company
just an hour and a half to fill the
tank, which also shows that the ca-
pacity of the Undine fire engine is
from 30,000 to 35,000 gallons of wa-
ter an hour.
DEALERS WILL NOT SELL GAS
OIL.
The undersigned dealers in motor
gasoline and oils, of Bellefonte and
vicinity, at a conference on Friday
evening, August 30th, decided to dis-
continue the sale of gasoline and oils
on Sunday until such time as the Fed-
eral Fuel Administration withdraws
its request that motor cars not be
used for pleasure on Sundays.

More Young Men March Away.
Fifty-six more e of Centre county’s
young men, just in the prime of life,
answered their country’s call and yes-
terday afternoon left for the training
camp at Camp Greenleaf, S. C. Like
contingents that have gone before
they came into Bellefonte on Wednes-
day morning, enrolled and placed
themselves under government orders.
The customary drills were given
Wednesday and that evening they
were banquetted at the Garman
house.
They were given another drill yes-
terday morning and at one o’clock
they met in the Diamond for the last
lineup. Members of the Red Cross
pinned roses on the boys and escort-
ed by the Girls band of Milesburg and
the usual coterie of citizens they
marched to the depot and entrained
for camp. They were a fine looking,
manly bunch of young men who will
do honor to themselves and credit to
their home community no matter
where they may be sent. They were
all of the 1918 class men, who have
come of age since the last general
registration day.
