R. at Altoona, spent Sun- day at the family home on Main street. Harry and John Miller, of State College, spent the latter part of the week at the John F. Kimport home at Boalsburg. Dr. Nesley and wife and W. H. Sasserman and wife motored down from Altoona and spent Sunday with relatives here. Harry Sunday, wife and four youngsters came over from Tadpole to spend the Sabbath at the grandpa J. W. Sunday home. Miss Edna Baney, of Warriors- mark, spent last week visiting her grandfather, R. T. Gates, and other relatives in the valley. Charles H. Meyers and his thresh- ing crew are busy threshing grain and hulling clover seed for the far- mers of the West End. W. H. Bailey, a member of the state highway gang with headquar- ters at Tyrone, spent Sunday with his family in this place. John C. Dunlap, who is holding down a good job at Cherry Tree, came home last week to register, re- turning to his job on Friday. Mrs. Sarah Grapp, of Pittsburgh, with her baby daughter, is visiting at the Kepler home in the Glades, ex- pecting to be there several weeks. Rev. Paulis, the well known evan- gelist, of Altoona, is holding a series of meetings in the Methodist church here. He is a fluent pulpit orator and is attracting large congregations. The Misses Edith and Catharine Dunlap, nurses in training at the Spring City hospital, are spending their vacation at the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Dunlap. Miss Edith Dale, of Bellefonte, was a guest of her cousin, Miss Grace Dale, on Main street. She came here to arrange for a concert by the Lan- sing Trio, for the benefit of the Red W. W. Keller, wife and son Paul, of Pittsburgh, have been spending the week at Mr. Keller's parental home on Main street. Mr. Keller has charge of the lock box department in the Pittsburgh postoffice. While doing a little lumbering on Tussey mountain on Monday Walter Johnson stumbled and fell across the crosseut saw, sustaining several ugly lacerations on his right arm; and as a result, he is now laid up for repairs. After spending six weeks at the officer’s training camp at Plattsburg, N. Y., William Raymond Dale, passed for a commission but was rejected physically. He has hopes, however, of ‘being able to pass later, as he is anxious to get at the Huns. Our mutual friend, Jacob McClel- lan, slipped away to Hollidaysburg last week where he was quietly mar- ried to Miss Etta Blair. Mr. McClel- lan is one of Halfmoon township’s progressive farmers, and is deserving of the best there is in life. We con- gratulate the newlyweds and hope they may live happily “ever after.” “Like a faithful friend, the “Watchman” has been associated with me from my childhood,” writes C. S. Dannley, of Wadsworth, Ohio. “Once a week it comes to my home telling me of events in good, old Centre county.” While the foregoing was direct to the editor of the paper the follow- ing allusion is so apropes to “Pine Grove Mentions” that we have given it all a place therein. Mr. Dannley concludes as follows: “By the versatile pen of my teach- er and life-long friend, Capt. Fry, it brings me to Pine Grove Mills where I : “Often in thought go up and down The pleasant streets of that dear old town Ard my youth comes back to me.” —Subscribe for the “Watchman.” DOWN NITTANY VALLEY. Frank Emerick and family, of Johnstown, spent several days this week with his cousin, Charles E. Em- erick, of Nittany. Mr. Emerick is a painter and has lived in Johnstown for years, but was raised in Nittany. Sunday was a very quiet day in the valley. Only the busses and milk trucks were observed on the road, ex- cepting a very few automobiles which, we suppose, were compelled to travel. It is quite a relief to have quiet Sun- days of this character and we believe the moral effect is as important as the amount of gasoline that is saved. Mrs. Amanda McClure, whose son had been reported missing in action in France, on July 30, has received in- formation that he is in a hospital somewhere in France. He had been gassed and wounded in the leg but she does not know how serious the wound or his present condition. Yet it is a relief to the family to know he has been located. Sowing wheat has been the work of the farmers the past week down the valley. Rain interfered for a day or two but the grain is mostly being sown under good soil conditions. From reports received and general indications, farmers are responding to the government’s request to in- crease the acreage by at least ten per cent. this fall sown in wheat, notwith- standing the scarcity of help. Mrs. Elvina Harter, mother of Charles and Thomas Harter, of Lock Haven, and a sister of ex-Sheriff B. F. Shaffer, has been spending a week at the B. F. Beck home in Snyder- town. She is in good health and keeps busy knitting and says she does not feel contented unless she has something to do. She is the last liv- ing member of the Michael Shaffer family, for many years prominent in the affairs of the valley. Miss Dorothy Emerick and her cousin, Mr. Heller, came up from Wil- liamsport on Saturday afternoon to spend Sunday at the former’s home at Nittany. She is employed in a bank in Williamsport, of which her uncle is cashier, and she is making good in her position. Both Miss Dor- othy and the parents have received very interesting letters from Mack, as he is familiarly known, from some- where in France, where he has been more than a year. He had been gas- sed while employed in carrying the wounded off the battlefield, but was getting over the effects of the gas when he last wrote. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Brandt and sons, Hugh and Jack, came in from Crafton last Saturday and spent a week at the J. H. Beck home. Hugh, the elder son, is entering the Belle- fonte Academy for the coming year and Jack goes to the Crafton High school. They spent a day or two at State College and Mr. Brandt made a business trip to Williamsport during their stay. Mrs. G. Nevin Hoy and son Bobbie also spent the week at home and on Friday Mr. Hoy came up from Philadelphia and accompanied Mrs. Hoy and Bobbie home on Satur- day. The railroads are so hard press- ed for help that Mr. Hoy could not get a longer vacation at the present time. He holds an important posi- tion in the signal service in North Philadelphia, with the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mrs. J. H. Beck accompa- nied Mr. and Mrs. Brandt on their trip home on Monday in their car, to spend a week or two at their home. They are always welcome visitors in the valley. The farmers Mutual Fire Insurance company of Centre county met in the court house in Bellefonte on Tues- day, September 10th. All the mem- bers of the board were present and business was transacted as follows: Applications for insurance, new and renewals, were passed amounting to over $256,848. The loss on the Rishel barn and other fire losses were ad- justed amounting to $5,333. Cash paid in at this meeting amounted to $1040.76. The board decided by a unanimous vote to levy an amount or tax of 4 per cent. on all policies in force on April 1st, 1918; and further decided that above tax would be col- lected by the treasurer of the board instead of by the various agents, as has been the custom heretofore. A motion was made to increase the lim- it per risk but after discussion action was deferred to next meeting. After discussion of various questions per- taining to the interests of the board the meeting adjourned to meet De- cember 24th, 1918, at the usual hour. RUNVILLE. E. R. Lucas, of Altoona, spent Sun- day at the L. J. Heaton home. Mrs. Ida Witmer spent Sunday with her sister, Mrs. James Snyder, at Wingate. Mrs. Clara Hall, of Fleming, was an over Sunday visitor at the home of Michael Witherite. E. R. Hancock and wife, of Phil- ipsburg, called at the home of John Furl, last Tuesday. Mrs. Grant Houseman, of Altoona, is visiting her mother, Mrs. Annie Lucas, in this place. Mrs. Mabel Lucas, of Snow Shoe, spent Monday at her mother’s home, Mrs. Ida Witmer, of this place.

Sunday and its quietness brought to the mind of many of our older cit- izens the peaceful Sabbaths of long ago. The majority of automobile owners in our village have fallen in line with Dr. Garfield's request and are showing their patriotism. — Government experts have esti- mated that, with due economy, there is timber enough in the United States to last 444 years. m— Hood's Sarsaparilla. wrammy Two Great Medicines Supplement Each Other They are Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Peptiron, the combination of which is giving so much satisfaction in the treatment of the impure, impover- ished blood and weak, worn-out nerves that are so often found in the same individual nowadays. The use of both these medicines, even in cases where only one may appear to be indicated, is of great ad- vantage. There is economy in it. All druggists. 63-35 CHICHESTER S PILLS TIE ‘Ladies!

Luther Fisher left Friday evening for the Grange picnic, where he ex- pects to enjoy a few days. The farmers are all busy with their seeding and cutting their corn. If they keep up the same speed they will soon be done. Many of the children who were vac- cinated to go to school this fall have sore arms, but are recovering. They are glad it will not have to be done soon again. Harvest Home services conducted by Rev. Bingham were held here on Sunday evening, and were very inter- esting. The decorations were of fruits and flowers. Mrs. George Stover went to Lock Haven on Monday to see her son, who was to be there for examination, but a mistake was made and he was not examined until Friday. Several months ago Harry Hoy bought forty acres of large timber near here. Some of the pine trees measure 60 to 75 feet in length and he is now ready to cut any bill from a store box to a factory building. One of the boys in the Sunday school class forgot and wore his badge at the wrong time. He was asked to what lodge he belonged. He replied, “Late Attendance,” because he was one-half hour late for Sunday school. is employed in spent Sunday at his THE SERVICE FLAG. Red, and a block of white, and a star, It hangs in my window today, The one lone emblem of peril and war My boy left behind as he marched away. The clouds hung low in a sodden night, The wind drove a sheet of rain That troubled my sleep with sudden fright, And my heart with a gripping pain. And I woke with the dew of fear On my brow, straining eyes in the dark- ened room, And I harkened with tense and listening ear To the beat of the raim in the gloom. The star in the field of red hung there Limned clear ‘neath the window's cope; And it scattered the mists of brooding fear, For it shone as a promise of hope! —Findlay Sackett, in the New York Sun. ee a——————— Didn’t Want His Nap Cut. He occupied a barber’s chair re- cently and he was drowsy. His eyes could not be kept open and his head rolled about and dropped over on his shoulder and down upon his chest in a way that made shaving a difficulty for the knight of the lather and a dangerous one for the patient. At last the barber said gently, but firmly: “Iook-e-here, sir, I can’t possibly shave you unless you hold up your head.” : To which the response was made with drowsy indifference: “Well, then cut my hair.”—Phila- delphia Public Ledger.

London.—The Daily Express claims to have unquestionable information that the former Empress of Russia and her four daughters have been murdered by Bolsheviki. The paper prints the following: “The Express understands from a source which is beyond doubt that the Empress of Russia and her four daughters have been murdered by Bolsheviki. The whole immediate family of the late Czar has thus been exterminated. “Jt is further understood that the Dowager Empress, who with her daughter and son-in-law, the Duke of Oldenburg, has been staying at Yal- ta, was recently attacked by the Red Guards who sought to kill all three. Sailors of the Black Sea fleet inter- vened and fought the Red Guards. “For a full fortnight the fight con, tinued until the Red Guards were beaten. It is now understood that the Dowager Empress is safe.” A New Rule. No girl under 18 years of age will be allowed to collect money on the street during the Allied drive, which will be launched by seven war work organizations during November. A resolution passed by the War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. and endorsed by the other six organiza- tions, will enforce this rule. All money contributed by girls under 18 must be given either by the girls themselves or earned in a way ap- proyed by the managers of the Y. W. Had Rheumatism For Twenty Years Now Well; Goldine Did It. “For twenty years I have been troubled with muscular rheumatism so badly that I had to be helped in putting on my coat. I was like many others, had no faith in patent. medi- cines. My son wanted me to try Goldine Alterac. When I had taken one bottle my rheumatism was all gone. I was troubled with kidney trouble so bad- ly that I could not rest at night. Now that trouble is all gone. I take a dose of Goldine befare each meal! and I never have any trouble with my stom- ach. Before taking Goldine I had sour stomach and had taken pounds of soda, it being the only thing that gave me relief. Now I feel fine and know Goldine did it. W. P. TRIMM, Market St., Williamsport, P.
