“Bellefonte, Pa., September 13, 1918.
THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY
___A consignment of three big
Republic trucks were driven through
Bellefonte on Wednesday, on their
way from Harrisburg to Philipsburg.
— Joseph Grossman, of Reynolds
avenue, is seriously considering mov-
ing to Williamsport and to that end
|
is offering his comfortable home for
sale in this issue of the “Watchman.”
___Several columns of interesting |
local news will be found on the sixth
page of today’s “Watchman.” Infact
it always pays to read every page, if
you don’t want to miss something
good.
— The members of the Patriotic
League will kindly remember the hike
and corn roast this (Friday) evening,
September 13th. All are requested to
be at the High school building at 6:30
promptly. Go and enjoy yourself.
— The first W. C. T. U. thimble
bee of the season will be held at the
home of Mrs. L. H. Gettig, on Bish-
op street, this (Friday) evening. A
business meeting will be held in con-
nection with the bee at 2:30 o'clock.
— William Straub resigned his
position as clerk in Fauble’s store last
Saturday, left for Harrisburg on
Monday and on Tuesday morning
went to work as a passenger brake-
man on the Middle division of the
Pennsylvania railroad with headquar-
ters at Harrisburg.
Up to the present time a mail
carrier has not been appointed as
successor to W. Henry Taylor, who
carries the mail between the railroad
and the postoffice. Mr. Taylor ten-
dered his resignation to take effect
September first and although there
are some five or six bidders for the
place the appointment has not yet
been made.
The Bellefonte public schools
opened on Monday with a full comple-
ment of teachers and a larger attend-
ance than in former years. All told
the attendance is just 761. Of this
number there are 226 in the High
school building and 258 in the grades
in the brick building. Arthur B.
Sloop, the new supervising principal,
has already gotten his work well in
hand and all departments are work-
ing smoothly.
While considering the weather
we are having just now please recall
the fact that just one year ago Wed-
nesday a. m. was the big frost that
practically killed everything last year.
While it is to be hoped that the frost
this year is still some weeks away, if
it does come soon it will not hurt the
corn as it did last year, because it is
several weeks earlier this year than
last. In fact many farmers are now
cutting corn.
An unusual recital will be giv-
en in Garman’s opera house at 8:15
o'clock Thursday, September 26th, by
Odessa Le Fontenay, lyric soprano,
and Miss Powell, elocutionist, assist-
ed by the “Phonograph with a Soul.”
Cards of admission may be secured
without charge upon application to
the Gheen Music Store, north Alleghe-
ny street. This will be an opportuni-
ty to hear some really delightful vo-
cal as well as phonograph music.
— Through the initiative of the
Centre county branch of the Pennsyl-
vania Council of National Defense
and Committee of Public Safety and
the co-operation of the district chair-
men every registration place in the
county was decorated with the Na-
tional colors yesterday and there was
community singing of patriotic airs
at several times during the day.
Song sheets in lots of from fifty to
one hundred were supplied the song
leaders in each community.
———1In these days when the motion
picture is the chief source of amuse-
ment and entertainment in the towns
as well as the big cities, and the va-
riety is so large and varied, the pub-
lic can afford to be discriminating.
They can demand good pictures or
withdraw their patronage. In this
regard, however, manager T. Clayton
Brown, of the Scenic, foresaw the in-
evitable and has been securing only
the very best pictures for exhibi-
tion at the Scenic. This is the reason
for the crowded houses every evening
at this popular place of amusement.
The second gasless, autoless
Sunday was even more quiet in Belle-
fonte than the first. Automobilists
pretty generally are heeding the re-
quest of the fuel administrator to
conserve the gasoline supply and the
result was very few slackers were
abroad in their cars. But there were
a few and whether they wilfully dis-
regarded the request to abstain from
running their cars on Sunday or
whether they were emergency cases
is not known, but it does not speak
well for the patriotism of any Ameri-
can citizen to disregard any means of
winning the war that the majority of
men willingly comply with.
At a meeting of members of
the Bellefonte chapter Red Cross last
Saturday afternoon James B. Cook,
the very efficient secretary of the
Chapter, was presented with a hand-
some wrist watch as a memento of
his unselfish devotion and untiring
energy in the good cause. The watch
was the gift of individual members
and the giving of it was inspired by
Mr. Cook’s recent declaration of going
to France to do Y. M. C. A. war work.
His going, however, will be delayed
by the operat.ons of the man power
bill, and if he is called for duty un-
der the selective service system he
will go that way instead of with the
Y.M.C. A.

GRANGE PARK NEXT WEEK.
Program for the Big Grange Encamp-
ment and Fair.
Forty-five years ago the Grangers
of Centre county decided to hold a
grange picnic on the top of Nittany
mountain. The gathering proved such
a success that they decided to make
it an annual affair. Several years
later the location of the picnic was |
changed to the grove just this side of
the Old Fort and from a one day
gathering it grew to a several day’s
outing. Twenty-five years or more
ago they purchased ground south-
west of Centre
Grange park, and with that innova-
tion established the picnic as an an-
nual affair and made it a week’s gath-
ering.
Hon. Leonard Rhone was the fore-
most figure in these gatherings and
continued as such until last year when
his health would not permit him to
take any active part in the manage-
| ment, although he was at the head-
quarter’s tent during the entire week,
and this year will be the first since
his death. That he will be missed by
the prominent members of the order
who knew him more intimately than
any other Granger in Centre county
is only too true, but the encampment
this year will be carried along on the
same lines as laid down by the deceas-
ed leader. Everything is now in read-
inoss for the encampment which will
open officially tomorrow. Among the
speakers who will be there during the
week will be Judge Eugene C. Bon-
niwell, Democratic candidate for Gov-
ernor, who will address the crowd at
two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon.
He will be preceded the same after-
noon by Senator Colby, of the U.S.
food administration.
Two hundred tents have been erect-
ed and practically all tent holders will
move in today and tomorrow for a
full week of pleasure. Every effort
has been made to make the camp
pleasant and to provide amusement
and instruction for both old and
young. There will be something in-
teresting for everybody every day.
The Pennsylvania State College
will have an exhibit and short ad-
dresses will be given every day by
members of the faculty of the school
of agriculture.
The county committee on war sav-
ings stamps will have a tent on the
ground and be ready to sell stamps at
all times. Short addresses will be de-
livered on this and other patriotic
subjects every day.
The agricultural and horticultural
exhibit will be larger and better than
in former years and will be arranged
in an interesting and instructive man-
ner. An expert attendant will be
ready to explain and answer questions
as to exhibits.
The exhibit of horses, cattle and
sheep promises to be good and the ex-
hibit of farm implements will be large
and varied. - A good band will furnish
music during the week. Following is
the complete program:
Saturday, 7:36 p. m.
Opening picture show in the auditorium.

ee GW,
Bewildered Areonaut Descends at
Milesburg.
On his return trip from Chicago to
New York, on Monday, Max Miller,
the first areonaut to carry mail over
the Wilson airmail route, became be-
wildered as to his location after he
crossed the Allegheny mountains and
flying up the valley to Milesburg de-
scended on the green at the brick
works. As soon as he obtained infor-
mation as to his whereabouts he flew
up in the air, circled and made
straight down the valley for Lock
Haven.
Miller, flying in his Standard ma-
chine, No. 129, passed over Snow Shoe
about six o’clock flying in the direc-
tion of Bellefonte. Word was tele-
phoned to Bellefonte to watch for the
machine but in crossing the mountains
he veered to the east, but not far
enough to carry him to Lock Haven.
When he arrived over Bald Eagle
valley he became confused as to
where he was hence he circled and
flew up to Milesburg, and seeing a fa-
vorable landing place came down at
the brick works.
As soon as he alighted safely word
was telephoned to Bellefonte and a
large number of people motored
down to get a sight of the machine
and the man, but as it was then get-
ting late the young aviator lost no
time in getting back up in the air and
sailing away for Lock Hayen where
he spent the night, leaving for New
York on Tuesday morning.
—Subseribe for the “Watchman.”
Escape in Motor Accident.
Dumped into “ten feet of water
when his automobile slid off of the!
the side of a bridge last Saturday
evening, ex-County Treasurer John
D. Miller, of Hublersburg, his wife,
another lady and a young girl came
out of the wreck with nothing worse
than a few slight bruises and a thor- |
ough wetting.
The Reformed Sunday schools of
Nittany valley picnicked in John Vo-
nada’s grove, near Lamar, on Satur-
day. Early in the afternoon Mr. Mil-
ler decided to motor down to the gath-
Hall and established
ering. Taking his wife, Mrs. Wea-
ver, wife of his tenant farmer, and
a young daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Perry Hines, he drove to the picnic
and spent the afternoon. About five
o'clock he started for home. The road
leading from the grove is narrow and
makes a sharp turn to the left to cross
the bridge over Dry run.
Mr. Miller was rot driving fast and
when he came to the bridge he failed
to notice how short the turn was hence
did not keep far enough to the right
and the result was the left fender
struck the wooden upright which sup-
ported the railing on the bridge. The
upright and railing not only gave
way but the impact knocked the sill
of the bridge off its foundation and in
dropping down allowed the car to slip
off into the run, a fall of about ten
feet, where it fell on its side.
When the car fell all the occupants
were thrown out into the water, which
at that place is ten feet deep. Mr.
Miller went entirely under the water
and when he came up he naturally
grabbed the top of the car, then look-
ed for the others. They were all in
the water but were also holding onto
the car, and giving them what assist-
ance he could he got them out of the
deep water to the bank. About that
time Ephriam Lucas happened along
and he assisted them all up the bank
to solid land. They then went to a
nearby house and got into dry cloth-
ing as quickly as possible. Aside
from the wetting the only injuries
sustained were a bruise on the right
arm by Mrs. Miller and a contusion
on the left leg by Mr. Miller.
The car was a new Overland that
Mr. Miller had secured only about a
month ago. It was towed in by the
Beezer garage and on looking it over,
it was found that the top was com-
pletely broken off with the exception
of one end of the rear bow, the left
fender was smashed, left headlight
and sidelight gone, the windshield
missing and is probably at the bot-
tom of Dry run, the steering rods
bent, a hole in the radiator and a hole
knocked in the tonneau. But with
all that Mr. Miller is very thankful
that he and the ladies escaped so
miraculously. On Tuesday he bought
himself a new Studebaker.
Two Good Pictures at Nittany Thea-
tre, State College. 7
Next week the Nittany theatre, of
State College, will present two timely
and interesting special productions.
The first, for Thursday, September
19th, will be “Pershing’s Crusaders,”
an official U. S. war feature to better
inform the public of the way the huge
sums of money have been spent dnd
to further enlighten all upon war con-
ditions.
The second attraction, for Satur-
day, September 21st, will be the new-
est picture of D. W. Griffith, who pro-
duced “Birth of a Nation” and
«Hearts of the World.” It is a love
story of the war, made abroad by Mr.
Griffith and shows many interesting
details of the war. When shown for
the first time in New York city a few
weeks ago the critic of the New York
Tribune made this comment: “When
we left the Strand theatre the line
(for admission) which forms to the
left had stretched down as far as 45th
street, (the Strand is between 47th
and 48th streets) but we intend to
get up bright and early some morn-
ing soon and go to see “The Great
Love” again. Every one should see
it once for the story and once for the
acting. Both productions are well
worth seeing.”
Concert Yields $43.25 for Miss Lau-
rie’s Canteen.
The concert given in the High
school auditorium, Monday evening,
by the Harmonic club at which Mrs.
A. C. Farish, harpist and vocalist,
was featured, netted $43.25 for Miss
Bertha Laurie’s canteen in France.
It was the first public appearance
of Mrs. Farish in Bellefonte since she
left here for a wider field in which to
display her talents some years ago.
And it was the general opinion among
those who remember her voice that
it has lost none of the charm that
characterized it when she had a stu-
dio here.
As usual, the Harmonic club num-
bers were very much appreciated.
The girls attempt nothing beyond
them and keep their repertoire in a
class of pleasing melodies and popu-
lar airs that have an especial appeal
at this time.
They are to be commended for the
manner in which they have turned
what was designed as a purely social
organization into a permanent accom-
plishment for each one as well as a
fine contribution to the pleasure of
the community.
Save Your Peach Seeds.
Now that peach time is here every-
body is urged to save the peach seeds.
They are wanted by the government
for making carbon for the soldiers’
gas masks. Not only jeach seeds but
the seeds of apricots and dates, shells
of hickory nuts, walunts and butter-
nuts are also wanted. Save all of
these and in due time information
will be given as to their disposition.

RADICAL CHANGES AT STATE
| Lads in Khaki Will Vie With Students
! With Green Caps. Many Wom-
en Enrolled.
|
The noisy Freshman with his green
i cap and loud tie will not be the only
| man in evidence at The Pennsylvania
| State College when it opens for the
| ensuing school year on September
| 25th. The man in khaki and the
| clarion tones of the bugle will prob-
| ably be the greater attraction. The
changing of State College into a mil-
itary school will necessitate a com-
plete transformation in courses of
study and physical surroundings.
Only two or three courses will be
taught complete, among them chem-
istry and engineering. Enough of ag-
riculture will be taught to equip the
young men in military training for a
military life. Only those students
who are physically unfit for military
training and young women will be
accorded the privilege of taking a
regular college course.
The students will be required to do
fifty-eight hours of work each week,
including thirteen hours of military
training. And the course will be con-
tinuous. There will be no vacations
and the student will be able to com-
plete his course in two years instead
of four. The exact studies to be tak-
en by the students in military train-
ing have not yet been definitely de-
cided upon, as final decision in the
matter will be made by the govern-
ment. Among the subjects to which
each student must devote at least for-
ty-two hours each week are English,
French, German, mathematics, phys-
ics, chemistry, biology, geology, to-
pography, map making, meteorology,
astronomy, hygiene, geometry, me-
chanical and freehand drawing, sur-
veying, economics, accounting, histo-
ry, international law, military law
and government. A military com-
mandant will be in charge at the col-
lege.
The enroliment at the College to
date includes 1000 Freshmen, 265
young women and 1100 military stu-
dents. Of the upper classmen, it is
uncertain just what per cent. will re-
turn to college. During the summer
the men who have been there under-
going military training have been
housed in Old Main. At present bar-
racks are being erected and these will
furnish additional quarters. The
young women will be housed in the
woman’s dormitory, McAllister hall
and at the University club. While
fraternity men will be permitted to
occupy their own houses every house
will be filled to capacity by other stu-
dents and every boarding house at
the College will be virtually comman-
deered by the college authorities in
order to furnish accommodations for
the students, who must be housed in
and around the college. With the
above changes, and hundreds of men
in khaki in evidence all the time the
visitor at the college in the future
will hardly be able to reconcile it
with the institution they knew a few
years ago.
Former Centre Countian Killed in
Altoona.
William Ralph Markle, a native of
Centre county, was jolted from a trol-
ley car on the Altoona and Logan
Valley street railway in Altoona, on
Saturday evening, sustaining injuries
which resulted in his death early Mon-
day morning. Markle was employed
as a conductor on the road and was
working on an incoming car from
Lakemont park. The car was heavily
loaded and -vhile walking along the
running board collecting fares the
car gave a sudden jolt, Markle lost
his hold and fell to the pavement. He
struck the pavement with his head
sustaining a fractured skull. He was
hurriedly taken to the Mercy hospital
where he died at 1:20 o’clock Monday
morning.
Deceased was born near Bellefonte
on December 19th, 1886, hence was in
his thirty-second year. He went to
Altoona nine years ago and had been
employed on the Logan Valley road
ever since. He was a member of the
Lutheran church, the Street Car union
and the Logan Valley floral associa-
tion. He is survived by his wife and
three young children; also his moth-
er, Mrs. Margaret Markle, of Belle-
fonte. The funeral was held at 2:30
o’clock on Wednesday afternoon,
burial being made in the Rose Hill
cemetery, Altoona.
Field Day at Snow Shoe Experimen-
tal Plats.
Today will be field day at the Snow
Shoe expeimental plats when the far-
mers of Centre and Clearfield coun-
ties will be given the opportunity to
look over and inspect the fertilizer
experiments which are conducted by
the State College experiment station.
The crops growing on the plats at
the present time show very clearly
the effect of lime and phosphorous
applied to DeKalb soils and a trip to
see these results will be time well
spent.
A short and interesting program
has been arranged beginning at 2:30
p. m., when the plats will be inspect-
ed and Professor White and Profes-
sor Gardner, of the department of
agronomy, will explain the various
treatments.
Cars passing through Bellefonte
may join the Centre county bunch,
which will leave from in front of the
court house at 1 o’clock p. m.—R. H.
Olmstead, county agent.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS:
Ww. L. P.C
North Ward.. 13 ii 542
South Ward 11 11 500
West Ward............. .10 12 455
By winning last Friday’s game
from the South ward by the score of
6 to 4 and Tuesday’s game from the
West ward 7 to 8 the North ward
baseball team has advanced to the
head of the Red Cross league. There
are still two games to play, both be-
tween the South and West ward
teams, and should the former win
both they can tie the North ward for
first place. Go out this evening and
see what happens.
It was just a year on Wednes-
day, or September 11th, 1917, that
Troop L, the hospital corps and Boal
machine gun troop left Bellefonte for
Camp Hancock to train for the war
with Germany. The men, with very
few exceptions, are now all in France
while a few of them have been
wounded or taken prisoner so far as
known at this writing nene have made
the supreme sacrifice. But every man
has stood the test wherever he has
been sent and we feel certain that
those who return will come back
proud of the part Centre countians
played in the great world-war.
