THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY
—Judge Henry C. Quigley is re-
covering from quite a serious attack
of influenza.
A good farmer can find a loea-
tion by consulting the advertising
columns of the “Watchman.”
——The bear season opened on
Tuesday but so far as known no Cen-
tre county hunters have been out after
any.
The condition of Mrs. Fred
Hollobaugh, who is ill at the home of
her mother, Mrs. Washington Irvin,
on Reynolds Ave., is regarded as very
serious. Mrs. Hollebaugh is better
known in Bellefonte as Miss Helen
Irvin.
——Any person or persons desir-
ing the influenza face masks being
made by the members of the Belle-
fonte Chapter of the Red Cross can
get same by applying to either Miss
Mary M. Blanchard or Mrs. H. E.
Fenlon.
George A. Beezer has sold his
comfortable home on east Curtin
street to Nelson E. Robb, of State
College, who will take possession the
first of the year when he will come to
Bellefonte as treasurer of the Belle-
. fonte Trust company.
. ——Cyrus Hunter, of Stormstown,
has almost an army of his own off-
spring now helping with the work of
making the world safe for democracy.
He now has two sons in the army and
has one grand-son, two nephews, five
son-in-laws, a son and two step-
sons in the new draft.
Mrs. Schloss and Mrs. Edward
P. Irwin, who answered the call for
assistance sent out by the Bellefonte
hospital ten days ago, have been on
constant day duty ever since. The
hospitals needs necessitates their sub-
stituting in the wards, private rooms
and even in the operating room.
Mrs. G. G. Pond, regent of the
Bellefonte Chapter Pennsylvania
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, has been notified that on account
of the present epidemic of influenza
the Pennsylvania State Board of
Health rules that there can be no
meeting of the state conference at
Harrisburg October 22nd, 23rd and
24th. If a postponed meeting is held
ample notice will be given.
William Reese, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles P. Reese, of Reese’s Set-
tlement, sustained a bad gash on the
right wrist on Saturday which sever-
ed the tendons and artery and may
cripple him for life. He was assist-
ing in the threshing and was working
close to the man cutting sheaves. In
some way he reached for a sheaf just
as the man made a slash to cut it,
receiving the full force of the stroke
on his wrist. First aid was rendered
and he was brought to the Bellefonte
hospital where the injured wrist was
properly attended to.
For several weeks this paper
has been on the lookout for an ex-
perienced manager, book-keeper,
clerks and drivers for a general store
in the Clearfield coal region. Though
the advertisement appearing on page
+ 4 of this issue would have received a
number of replies in ordinary times
but only two have come to this office.
We mention the fact for two reasons:
First to show the scarcity of men and
second to call attention to opportuni-
ties that are worth while. We know
the concern advertising for men. We
know it is a very successful one and
it is probable that splendid and per-
manent jobs await the right parties
should they apply.
——James B. Krape has written
the “Watchman” to state that an ar-
ticle appearing in a Bellefonte paper
several weeks ago that might have
been construed as a criticism of the
Bellefonte hospital was certainly not
intended as such. The statement was
to the effect that James has learned
more in six weeks working in the Me-
morial hospital in Johnstown than he
learned in the eight and one-half
years he was employed at our insti-
‘tution. His remark was meant only
to convey the information that being
in another branch of hospital work
than the one to which he was assign-
ed here he has had greater opportuni-
. ties for learning and has been im-
proving them. He is very loyal to
the Bellefonte hospital and very fond
‘of all connected with it,and is very
much perturbed lest some might have
though otherwise after reading the
darticle referred to.
! On Saturday afternoon, Octo-
ber 26th, at 2:30 p. m., one of the
“most exciting football games ever
“played in Bellefonte will take place,
“if the influenza conditions do not in-
“terfere. On that date the strong S.
“A. T. C. eleven of the University of
Pittsburgh will line up against the
ter eleven went to Lewisburg in au-
“tos last Saturday and put up a splen-
“did contest against their heavier and
‘older opponents, the S. A. T. C. elev-
en of Bucknell, holding them to no
score in the first twelve minute per-
“dod and a final score of 81-0. The
‘Academy will be able to schedule very
few home games this season and the
fans can well afford to go and encour-
age the Academy boys in this game.
This will be a fine chance to show ap-
preciation of the fact that Mr. Hughes
loaned his baseball suits for the sum-
mer Red Cross games and also gave
his field for the contests. It requires
a big guarantee to bring the Pitts-
burgh soldiers here and the charge
for admission will have to be 50 cents.
Patronize the game, you’ll get your
money’s worth. vane?

A Double Electrocution.
The first electrocution at the Rock-
view penitentiary since early in the
summer took place on Monday morn-
ing when two negro murderers from
Dauphin county were sent to the elec-
tric chair. They were Andrew Carey
who, on January 26th, 1918, fatally
stabbed Walter Clifton Shaffer, a rail-
roader, and Charles Kyler who, on
February 25th killed Arthur Watts,
at Steelton. Carey was taken to the
death chair at 7:07 and pronounced
dead at 7:15 and Kyler followed at
7:18 and was pronounced dead at 7:25.

The Last Call of the Blue Cross.
Remit at Once if You Really Want the Watchman.
The War Industries Board of the United States, in order to
conserve paper, has imposed fifteen conditions upon publishers
of weekly newspapers.
They are designed to eliminate waste and one of them inter-
prets waste to mean the mailing of a paper to any person who is
not a bona fide subscriber or whose subscription is in arrears
three months or more.
No. 2
We quote it as follows:
No publisher may continue subscriptions after three
months after date of expiration unless subscriptions are renewed and
paid for.
A SWORN STATEMENT will be required from each publisher on
November 1st, 1918, as to how many of these rules have been put into
effect by him, and what results in the matter of reducing paper con-
sumption have been obtained.
If there is a blue cross in the circle look at the figures on the
label on the front page of this paper.
They will show you the
month and year to which you are now paid. Then count the
number of years that intervene until your corresponding month
in 1919 and multiply that by $1.50 and you will have the amount
you should send us to pay up to some period in 1919.
A Blue Cross in this Circle
under the government’s rul-
will indicate that you com
ing and should remit at once.

CENTRE GOUNTY PEOPLE MUST
BUY MORE BONDS.
With Only Two Days to Go the
County is Away Short of Its
Allotment.
A clarion call has been sent out to
the people of Centre county to buy
more bonds of the fourth Liberty
loan. The call must be met if the
county is to make up its allotment.
So far only three or four districts in
the county have done their part, all
the others are lacking. And some
there are, it must be confessed, that
have done very little. Only a few
days more remain in which to make
up the big balance yet needed, and
every man and woman who can do so
should come to the front and buy.
Centre county has almost two
thousand boys either in France or
getting ready to go there. A few of
them have already made the supreme
sacrifice, and do you think for a mo-
ment they held back when the cdl
came for them to go over the top and
at the Hun? ‘Those boys are still
there and they must be cared for to
the last man until they are landed
safe at home again, and will Centre
countians allow it to be said of them
that they fell down at the crucial mo-
ment, by refusing to buy bonds when
given the opportunity to do so?
Don’t be beguiled by Germany’s
cry of peace. As long as she is slay-
ing women and children mith her
murderous torpedoes, and laying
waste and barren France and Bel-
gium there can be little of sincerity
in her peace cry. And as long as our
government asks for money it is
needed to keep the boys who are now
in the field. Every man in Centre
county who has a boy in service would
deeply resent the imputation that he
in any way tried to shirk his duty,
and isn’t it then just as much the du-
ty of all those at home to support
the brave boys who are at the front?
Don’t try to shove the burden upon
your neighbor or some other commu-
nity. Buy yourself, if you can do so,
and induce your neighbor to buy.
It isn’t necessary to enter into a
discussion as to the bonds as an in-
vestment. Any intelligent school boy
can tell you that. And when the cam-
paign is closed and the final figuring
up is made the returns will show just
what precincts in Centre county have
fallen short of what was expected of
them. Do any of you, individually
or collectively want to live in a slack-
er district? If you don’t, the ques-
tion is now right up to the people.
From now on it will be a volunteer
campaign and the final returns will
show just how many money patriots
there are in Centre county.
The Liberty loan car started out
‘on its trip through Centre county
yesterday and will cover the county
before the close of the drive tomor-
row evening. If you have not yet
made your subscription hand it to the
men in the car. :

Right or Wrong?
3 Ll
(An argument in favor of the Liberty loan
contributed by Mrs. John Hume, of Or-
viston). :
Quite a number of people—most of
them intelligent and clever—are run-
ning away with the idea that Germa-
ny is down and out, completely im-
poverished, her people starving, etc.
I would like to ask all such people if
they can recall the invasion of Bel-
gium? In the first place don’t for-
get that the Liberty bond of the
fourth call must be subscribed to the
limit. The reason I will try and ex-
plain in my poor way; for I do not
claim to be the most intelligent of
women, by any means. But I do stop
to think once in a while, and here is
the result of a little reasoning:
Remember, Germany began prepa-
ration for war before I was born, and
I am over 40 and then some. Ger-
many not only laid up for future use,
arms and ammunition, but her peo-
ple have been taught economy and
conservation for generation after
generation. Her food stuffs were con-
served to the limit. Note the inva-
sion of Belgium. Do not let your lit-
tle wooden gods run away with the
idea that the German hordes destroy-
ed everything. Trains were loaded
with food-stuffs, grain, cloth, ma-
chinery, hardware, leather, rubber,
even furniture and pictures, pianos,
automobiles; and all the money and
jewels available were transported in-
to Germany. The same thing was
true of Serbia, Montenegro, Rouma-
nia and Russia.
Now where did all this produce go?
Not by any means to one party alone,
or to the “royal” family alone. Re-
member, also, that the German wom-
en have been working in the fields, in
shops and the mills. Of a surety
Germany is man-poor. The very
flower of German manhood has been
slain to glut the passion of a hideous-
ly selfish, blood-thirsty beast to fur-
ther his ambitions. And they have
died in vain. But Germany itself
does not lie waste. Her fields have
been tended, her harvests gathered,
her beautiful buildings are intact, her
streets have not been drenched with
blood, her women have been free to
walk the streets without fear. And
now his High Imperial Majesty de-
sires peace. I would to God I had my
say. His beautiful land, reputed one
of the most beautiful on earth, would
be equally enrolled among the despoil-
ed countries, and himself treated as
he has had thousands treated. His
family used as poor, weak, Nicholas
Romanoff’s family was used. Through
his lies and propaganda Nicholas and
his wife were accused of being pro-
German, but the murder of Nicholas
by Wilhelm’s cats-paws, the Bolshe-
viki, proves beyond the question of a
doubt that it was all untrue. One
could talk and write of the baseness
and deviltry of Germanism until half
the pens and paper in the good old U.
S. A. were used up, and the half
would not be told.
So keep right on boosting that
fourth Liberty loan to the limit, and
then push it up over the top. Orvis-
ton is doing her part, and you in oth-
er places should do your part. If war
will soon be over our duties are not.
Those boys must be brought home
and cared for, the heroes who are
maimed and crippled kept. So get up
steam and let us keep our ship of
state sailing clear.

Bellefonte a Station On Air Mail
Service Route.
Upon the recommendation of pilots
Miller and Gardner Bellefonte has
been selected as one of the stations
on the Wilson air nail service route
between New York and Chicago in-
stead of Lock Haven. This announce-
ment was made from Chicago on Sat-
urday by Capt. B. B. Lipsner, head of
the air mail service, who also stated
that the regular service will be start-
ed November 1st. The stops between
: New York and Chicago will be at Le-
highton, Bellefonte, Clarion, and
Cleveland and Bryan, Ohio. ' The trip
will be made in ten hours or less and
in all kinds of weather.
Capt. Lipsner announced that the
reason Bellefonte had been selected
instead of Lock Haven was that it af-
forded a better landing place. The
field selected here, out on the Thom-
as Beaver farm, is several hundred
feet higher than at Lock Haven, well
drained and dry at all seasons of the
year, while the field at Lock Haven is
so located that the airman had to con-
tend with a multiplicity of air cur-
rents which rendered the descent and
ascent not only difficult but extreme-
ly dangerous.
While nothing definite is yet known
as to what arrangements will be made
for using Mr. Beaver’s field as a land-
ing place, it is quite likely that some
definite action will be taken very
soon.

Miss Hill and Miss Leahy have been in
Chester with Mrs. Hiller since Mrs. Hayes
had left her home.
—We had a pleasant little call Satur-
day evening by the Smith brothers, Luth-
er and John. Though they both live in
Bellefonte they were almost as great stran-
gers as if they had been miles and miles
away. But that is because both of them
are hustling like everybody else these
days and find little time for calling.
Luther has his blacksmith shop so full of !
work he scarcely knows which way to turn
and John is at the Titan Metal Co., help-
ing to make Titan bronze for Uncle Sam.
—D. F. Poorman, of Runville, was ‘in
town on Tuesday. and knowing that he
had been very much interested in the or-
ganization and support of the fine little
band they had out there, we inquired as
to what has become of it. “It’s gone,”
said Mr. Poorman, “all broken up by the
war and we don’t know whether we will
ever get the boys together again.” Nearly
every male band in the county is in the
same condition and after the war we are
likely to have fewer of them than ever; at
least until a Frank Wetzler rises up in
every community and makes a band out
of youngsters.
—George Rumberger and family motor-
ed over from DuBois the latter part of
last week to pay a visit to Mr. Rumber-
ger’s father, George Washington Rum-
berger, of Unionville. On Saturday they
induced “Domino” to forego the pleasure
of his “flying machine” and accompany
his son and grand-children in their car to
Bellefonte and just about- the time they
landed on the bridge near the “Watch-
man” office something went wrong with
the motor and that afforded Mr. Rumber-
ger Sr. and "his delightful grandchildren
an opportunity to inspect the interior of
the “Watchman” plant. Naturally the
children were interested but printing is
nothing new to Wash whose head is so
chuck full of almost everything under the |
sun that he is a veritable walking ency-
clopedia.
-
—Mrs. Edward Nolan and her daughter,
Mrs. Johnston, left Tuesday to return di-
rectly to their home in Chicago.
—Mrs. J. R. Walter, of Somerset, was
an arrival in Bellefonte on Monday, com-
ing here to spend the winter with her
daughter, Mrs. C. D. Casebeer and family,
at their home on east Linn street.
Stitzinger — Johnston.—-A quiet
though pretty wedding was celebrat-
ed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Kennedy Johnston, at eleven o’clock
yesterday morning, when their daugh-
ter, Miss Pauline Holt Jonhston, be-
came the bride of Wayne D. Stitzing-
er, of New Castle, Pa. Only the
members of the immediate families
! were present to witness the ceremony
: which was performed by Dr. E. H.
Yocum, of the Methodist church. The
attendants were Miss Leone Stitzing-
er, a sister of the bridegroom, and
i Hugh Johnston, brother of the bride.
: Following a delicious wedding break-
fast Mr. and Mrs. Stitzinger depart-
i ed almost immediately to motor to
New Castle where they will make
their future home.
{ The bride is the eldest daughter of

1 1915. She later spent one year at

Decided Improvements Being Made
at the Scenic.
While State Health Commissioner
Boyer has his ban on all things in the
entertainment line owing to the epi-
demic of the Spanish flu manager T.
Clayton Brown is taking advantage
‘of the shut down to make some very
decided improvements in the Scenic.
One of the most pronounced is the in-
troduction of a battery of two new
machines, the very latest and best on
the market. With the two machines
there will be no waiting period be-
tween reels in running off one of the
big feature films. As the reel is com-
pleted on one machine the other will
be started so that the audience will
not be able to tell where the first reel
ends and the second begins, and so on
until the end of the picture.
To install the two machines it has
been necessary to increase the size of
the booth to just double what it has
been. This has been done, however,
without interfering in any way with
the space in the auditorium. Another
change contemplated is moving the
seats so as to make two interior aisles
along the rows of iron pillars which
will do away with the pillars obstruct-
| ing the view from quite a number of
the best seats in the house.

New Uniforms for the Boy’s Work-
ing Reserve.
Thousands of American boys below
draft age will soon be wearing an of-
ficial United States uniform. Secre-
i tary of Labor Wilson has authorized
and the War Department has approv-
ed an olive drab uniform which may be
worn by all members of the United
States Boys’ Working Reserve.
Already there are many units of
the Boys’ Working Reserve through-
out the country which have been
awaiting the announcement of the
official dress of the organization and
many more units which will be organ-
ized as a result of the proposed ex-
| pansion of the Reserve under the co-
operation of the War Department will
at once discard “mufti”’ for the natty
olive drab of the Reserve uniform.
——=St. John’s church (Episcopal).
Services and all meetings temporari-
i ly discontinued by order of the Board
of Health. The church building is al-
ways open so that those who desire
in this time of war and sickness to
say their prayers in the house of
God may do so. Members of the con-
gregation are asked to make special
use of the two collects in the Prayer
book, on pages 40 and 41 respective-
ly, “in time of war and tumulas,” and
“in time of great sickness and mor-
tality.” The Holy Sacrifice of the
Eucharist on Sundays and Holy days
during the quarantine will be offered
to God privately at the altar, and the
divine office of the church privately
recited. Upon the lifting of the quar-
antine the regular services will be im-
mediately resumed: Sunday, 8 and
11 a. m., 7:30 p. m., with school at 10
a. m. Friday (this day is the week-
ly memorial of the Crucifixion as Sun-
day is of the Resurrection), 7:30 p.
m. Holy days, at a new hour, 9. a.
m. Rev. M. DeP. Maynard, Rector.
