Guyer Durst Died in Service. The beautiful flag on the public square in Boalsburg floats at half mast as a tribute to Guyer Durst, who died at Camp Lee, on Monday morning at two o’clock after a week’s illness with pneumonia. Guyer Durst was the son of George and Margaret Keller Durst and was born near Linden Hall, June 15, 1918. When but a few months old he was taken into the home of his grand-par- ents, Cyrus and Mary S. Durst, and they, with the assistance of their daughter Cora, (now Mrs. Samuel Wagner) tenderly cared for and rear- ed him to manhood. Guyer was deep- ly grateful to them and in return he cared for his grand-parents until their death several years ago. After the Durst home was broken up Guyer be- came a member of the Wagner fami- ly, although for the past three years he assisted W. H. Stuart on the farm east of Boalsburg, and his only regret when the call to service came was that he disliked to leave the farm when help was so badly needed. On August 26th Guyer was sent to Camp Lee and his letters to the home folks were always cheery and never contained a complaint; and he often wrote of the splendid work the Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross were doing in camp. His letters also contained ex- pressions of gratitude to his aunt, Mrs. Wagner, for her kindness to him. When the message of his illness came Mrs. Wagner and son started to go to Camp Lee but on arriving at Lewistown were persuaded to aban- don the journey because of present conditions. On this account no ar- rangements have been made for the funeral owing to the uncertainty of the time when the body will arrive at the Wagner home. Guyer Durst was a member of the Boalsburg Reformed church and the I. 0. 0. F., and had many friends in that vicinity who will miss him sore- ly. He has answered the Roll Call— “I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.” “And He calleth His own sheep by name.” “For them the task is done, the strife is stilled ; No more shall care disturb, nor zeal con- demn ; And when the larger good has been ful- filled, In coming years we shall remember them. . — El = Joseph H. Anderson Reported Dead. Joseph H. Anderson, son of John and Mary O’Brien Anderson, has been reported dead at Camp Greenleaf, Ga., as the result of an attack of Spanish influenza, but up to yester- day the body had not arrived in Belle- fonte although the family was noti- fied that the body had been shipped home on Monday evening. The young man was a member of the national ar- my contingent that left Bellefonte September 5th for Camp Greenleaf. Last week his parents received word that he was seriously ill but could not be seen. Sunday morning they got a notice of his death. Monday night they got another telegram saying he was improving and could be seen, but Tuesday morning another telegram arrived saying the body had been shipped Monday night. Since then no definite word has been received but up to yesterday the remains had not reached here and the family are al- most frantic with the suspense and uncertainty. The young man was not quite twen- ty-two years of age, being born in Bellefonte on October 25th, 1896. He was a hard-working, upright young man and had many friends. He was educated at the parochial school. There are four other children in the family, Thomas, Kathlene, Ellen and John. At this writing no more defi- nite information is obtainable. ——Two carloads of feeding cattle were taken through Bellefonte on Wednesday to Centre Hall. They were western stock that had been se- cured by Pennsvalley farmers for feeding purposes. ——They call him “Prince Max” for short but before long they will be calling him names that don’t sound so pleasant.

Bellefonte borough council literally had to get a permit from the Board of Health in order to hold a meeting on Monday evening, and at that they were restricted to the shortest time possible. George Eberhart, representing the Logan Fire company, appeared before council relative to the street commis- sioner taking the company’s gum boots and using the same on street work. The matter was referred to the Fire and Police committee. The Street committee reported hav- ing used over 5000 gallons of ugite and four carloads of shell screens in top-dressing the streets, and also that the work of putting down the sani- tary sewer on south Water street is still in progress. The Water committee reported that most of the large water meters in the town are out of order. The Finance committee reported a balance due the borough treasurer on October first as $2062.11 and recom- mended the authorization of a new note of $5,000 for one month to meet the deficit and pay current bills, which was authorized. Notes for $630 and $1000 were authorized renewed for a period of six months from October 7th. Regarding the commission of J. Kennedy Johnston, tax collector, the committee recommended that he be paid three per cent. on all taxes paid during the rebate period and five per cent. on all others, and council ap- proved the recommendation. The committee then presented a communication from the Tyrone coun- cil in effect that the Finance commit- tee of that council had recommended the investment of the proceeds deriv- ed from the sale of the Pruner prop- erty in Tyrone and that in Ness coun- ty, Kan., in Liberty loan bonds of the fourth issue, the purchase ($20,400) to be divided equally between Tyrone and Bellefonte. J. S. Ginter submit- ted a counter proposition that the money be invested so as to bring six per cent. interest and offering as a portion of it a first mortgage for $15,000 on a property in Tyrone. The Finance committee of borough coun- cil, however, recommended that the entire amount be invested in Liberty loan bonds and council approved the recommendation. The committee then submitted the bill of expenses, including attorney’s fees, court costs, etc., for negotiating the sale of the Pruner properties. The bill of W. Harrison Walker and N. B. Spangler and the court costs in Cen- tre county is $788.00 and that of R. H. Gilbert, of Tyrone, and court costs of Blair county $650.00, a total of $1,438.00. No action was taken in re- gard to approving the payment of the bills. The Finance committee reported that the borough receipts for the en- suing year were estimated at about $25,000. Bills to the amount of $2682.17 were approved and council adjourned after being in session a half hour. New Advertisements. ANTED.—Two women or girls for doing second work. Good wages, good home.

The railroads refused. - They were equipped, and preferred to haul cattle rather than dressed beef. So Gustavus F. Swift had to make the cars himseif. The first one was a box car rigged up to hold ice. Now there are 7,000 Swift refrigerator cars. Each one is as fine an ice box as you have in your home. Day and night, fair weather and foul, through heat and cold, these 7,000 cars go rolling up and down the country, keeping meat just right, on its way to you.
