Bellefonte, Pa., October 25, 1918. THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY Edward L. Gates, editor of the Philipsburg Ledger, has at last se- cured a house in Philipsburg and an- ticipates moving his family there by ! November first. Now that the fourth Liberty loan drive is over we'll wager a big pumpkin that chairman W. Harrison Walker will again get busy selling war savings stamps. ——Almost two thousand of her best young men and close to six mil- lion dollars has been Centre county’s quota so far towards the successful prosecution of the war with Germany. — Twenty-eight relatives and friends from Renovo and Altoona ac- companied the body of the late Frank- lin A. Weidler to Bellefonte Saturday morning, for the burial services in the Union cemetery. ——The seventy-nine young men summoned to Bellefonte to go to Camp Greenleaf, Ga., today have been notified not to appear, as all move- ments of troops to camp have been deferred for the present. —— The tractor demonstration which was te have been held on the Beaver farm on Thursday of next week has been indefinitely postponed on account of the flu epidemic. Due notice will be given when it will be held. Deputy recorder Walter Arm- strong has been off duty the past month suffering with intermittent fe- ver. While he has not been confined to the house all the time he has not been in condition to do any work in the office. William P. Shope, who a month or more ago quit his job as lo- cal editor of the Centre Democrat and went to Tyrone as office man for the J. C. Stine foundry and machine shops, has returned to Bellefonte and his old job as pencil pusher on the Democrat. $1,115,150 from 4646 subscrib- ers in the Centre county district; $977,300 from 3860 subscribers in the Philipsburg district, or a total of $2,- 112,450 from 8506 subscribers in Cen- tre county is a record of financial pa- trietism that is equal to the best in the country. Two of the regular operators of the American telephone exchange are sick and off duty, so that the serv- ice is naturally handicapped by their absence. But if the patrons will ex- ercise a little patience when making calls they will not only confer a favor to those who are there but will be at- tended to as promptly as possible, : ——A slight fire occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Miles Walk- er, on east-Linn street, on Wednes- day morning, but fortunately the blaze was discovered in time that it was extinguished before a great amount of damage was done. As it was it was necessary to cut a hole in the roof to make sure the fire was all out. Hew it originated has not yet been discovered. From the new rulings of the food administrator of Centre county regarding hotels and public eating places published in another column of this paper it will almest require an expert mathematician to figure out how much to charge a guest for what he eats, and at the same time satis- fy the guest that he is getting just what the law prescribes for the amount charged. Irvin O. Noll writes that living in the Republican atmosphere of Phil- adelphia “it is refreshing and invig- orating to get a whiff of good Dem- ocratic doctrine, of the kind for which the “Watchman” is far-famed, once a week.” It is refreshing indeed to learn that Irvin has not been tainted, but then he wouldnt be true to type if he swung from such Democratic moorings as his grandfather Samuel Charles and his father, James Noll taught him. he Candyland store in Belle- fonte has been closed the past two weeks owing to the quarantine on soft drinks, the Messrs. Gregory averring that with a restriction on their soda fountain and only being able to get a limited supply of sugar it does not pay to keep the store here open al- ‘though their store at State College is open for business every day. As Soon as the quarantine on drinks is lifted, however, the Bellefonte store will be reopened. _ ——Public attention has been so entirely engrossed with the war in Europe this summer that the fact that there is a Governor to elect in alize that election day is only a lit- tle over a week away. The election proclamation will be found on the fifth page of today’s paper. Consult it if you want to know who the can- didates are, and when you go to the polls don’t forget the constitutional amendments and vote yes on No. 1. _—John D. Sourbeck opened up his candy and green grocery store on Friday evening and, although he has not yet gotten stocked up he has made a few kinds of candies and ere long will be in shape to cater to the trade of the general public. Mr. Sourbeck was badly hurt early last spring when he was knocked down by an automo- bile near the P. R. R. depot. For weeks his life was despaired of, and even when he started on the road to recovery his many friends feared it would not be complete. But he has recovered entirely and is now in as good health as ever, and will soon be back in business at his old stand. Pennsylvania this year has almost | fonte he wrote a letter to a Bellefonte been lost sight of, and few people re- | COUNTY DISTRICT OVER THE. TOP. Centre Countians Buy More Than Their Allotment of Liberty Bonds. Over 4600 Buyers. It was a hard struggle but the peo- | ple of the Centre county district went : over the top in the fourth Liberty loan. The county’s quota was $1,115,- 040 outside of Philipsburg and Rush township, which are included in the Clearfield county district, and the to- | tal as reported by Mr. Charles M. McCurdy, chairman of the Liberty Loan committee, up to Wednesday evening was $1,115,150. The result, naturally, is most gratifying. While a few of the districts in the county did not meet their allotment quite a number went good and strong over the top. Milesburg people, for in-' stance, bought two and a half times their allotment. Very much pleased with the result Mr. McCurdy has is- sued the following statement com- mendatory of those who took part in. the campaign and giving in detail the results through the various banks: The Centre county district’s contri- bution to the fourth Liberty loan will | exceed one million dollars. scribers, 4646 in number, represent one-seventh of the population of the district, a fact that speaks eloquently for the intelligent and persistent work of the several committees. Nothing shows the quality of an or- | ganization so conclusively as the number of persons who were induced to subscribe. The number, rather than the amount obtained, is the real | test of efficiency, and in this respect the results are all that could be hop- | ed for. | The sub- ! of the campaign were changed mater- ially by orders from the State health | authorities, and other adverse condi- | tions were present. Had it been pos- | sible to carry out the plans the sub- | scription would have been much greater, but the large number of small subscriptions shows thorough, per- | sonal work. The chairman of the district com- mittee takes this opportunity to thank all the patriotic men and wom- en whose intelligent work contributed to the result. Many of them gave their time at great personal inconven- jence. We have reason to feel proud of the solid patriotism of the people of our district, as evidenced by the! great number who subscribed, and by the splendid work of the various sub- committees. As reported up to Wednesday noon the amount subscribed through the several banks is as follows: BELLEFONTE: : First National............ $333,450 Bellefonte Trust.......... 140,000 Centre County Banking Co. 47,700 521,150 SNOW SHOE, 1st National......... 154,000 STATE COLLEGE: First National an Farmers Trust. ............. warn inw 5 «104,850 MILLHEIM: Farmers National......... 000 Millheim Banking Co..... 57,050 122,050 First National, Howard............ 56,850 Penn’s Valley Banking Co......... 51,000 First National, Spring Mills....... 25,000 Through Penna.

Musser left Belle- fonte on the Lehigh-Pennsylvania train last Saturday afternoon for ! East St. Louis, Ill, and the fact that she took with her two big trunks leads to the supposition that she has gone there to make her future home. And this recalls the circumstances under which Mr. Musser left Belle- fonte almost six months ago, or to be exact on April 28th, leaving behind him the stigma of being a defaulter. Even as late as last week claims against him were entered in the local court against the American Sureties company, his bondsmen, and the total of his defalcation runs up to between four and five thousand dollars. The Surety company has made good so far as the Milesburg borough and school taxes are concerned, but there are other claimants in Bellefonte who have not recovered a cent, while the heaviest losers were undoubtedly the | insurance companies he represented. Shortly after Mr. Musser left Belle- attorney telling him that the reason he left he was so deply involved he could not see his way out, and had gone away to make a fresh start in the hope that some day he could make good all his shortage. The letter was sent from East St. Louis and natural- ly the question now arises has his wife gone west to join him in that place? Turn Back Your Clocks. Two o’clock next Sunday morning, October 27th, is the time set for turn- ing the clocks back one hour, as pro- vided in the daylight saving bill pass- ed by Congress last March. But it will not be necessary to remain up until two o’clock in the morning to make the change. Just turn the clock back when you go to bed Saturday night and then console yourself with the thought that you will have an ex- tra hour to sleep on Sunday morning.

To those of our subscribers who have deferred arranging payment of their subscription to comply with the Government’s order that no subscriber may be more than three months in arrears and receive the paper, we are en- closing, in this issue, a regular statement. We trust that every one who receives such statement will REMIT AT ONCE. This is the last issue of the “Watchman” we will be permitted to mail to those who receive statements unless settlement is made before October 31st. Personally we would extend you all the credit you want, but the Govern- ment says no! And there is no argument possible. Why You Should Vote for John Noll. It is a well known fact that Ives L. . Harvey did not enter the race for the Legislature of his own volition. He was brought into it for the sole pur- . pose of defeating Harry Scott, be- cause the latter refused to support the local option measures during his two That fact was duly temperance is now almost a dead is- sue. The war is taking care of that and total prohibition seems more im- minent every day. Mr. Harvey is not only a gentleman | of the highest type but his support- | ers point to him as a most successful business man and give in support of their statement that he is treasurer \ of the Hayes Run Fire Brick Co., treasurer of the Superior Silica Brick | Co., a member of the board of direc- ' tors of the Centre Brick & Clay Co., and conducts a large farm in Curtin township. Granting all that, it is one of the best arguments why John Noll should be elected. Mr. Harvey is too busy a man to give his time and the | of Rep- county. proper attention to the office resentative from Centre The original plans of the managers | While his intentions may be all right | his business interests will not permit | him giving the time he should to his legislative duties, if elected. On the other hand Mr. Noll has re- tired from business, not of choice, but through the ill-fortune of a disastrous fire. If elected he will be able to give all of his time to looking after the in- terests of his constituents. He has already served as a member of the Legislature and knows all about the work and what the voters of Centre county have a right to expect of him. And inasmuch as he proved faithful to the trust on two previous occasions there is no reason to doubt but that he would do the same again. For these reasons he should be elected. Two Brothers Electrocuted. Probably the first time in the his- tory of Pennsylvania two brothers were put to death for the same crime when Henry F. and Jacob Sallada, of Sacramento, Northumberland county, were electrocuted at the Rockview penitentiary on Monday morning. The first to be sent to the chair was Henry, the younger of the two, who was only twenty years old, and four minutes after he was pronounced dead by Dr. Felker his brother Jacob, aged twenty-five years, was placed in the chair. It required six contacts and nine minutes in the chair before the latter was pronounced dead. The crime for which the two men were electrocuted was the brutal mur- der of William Schleig, a Johnson City merchant, on a lonely country road near Shamokin on January 5th. | Robbery was the motive. Immediate- ly following the murder the young criminals jumped a freight train and went to DuBois where they were final- ly arrested about three weeks later. When confronted with evidence of their crime Henry confessed and ex- i onerated his brother Jacob from com- plicity in the murder, but when tried in the Northumberland county court in June the jury thought different and convicted both men. Two hours ‘after the verdict was rendered the brothers were found by the sheriff of the county playing cards in their cell as if nothing unusual had happened. Relatives on Monday refused to claim their bodies and they were buried in the penitentiary cemetery. The Grays Under Another Charge. Irvin G. Gray and his two sons, George and Clyde, were given a pre- liminary hearing before justice Wood- ring on Monday morning and all three of them were remanded to jail for tri- al at the December term of court. The specific case heard against them was the charge of stealing a young bull from J. C. Andrews, of Julian, killing and selling the meat thereof to Fred Resides, a State Col- lege butcher. W. G. Runkle and the Hon. E. L. Orvis represented the Grays. District attorney James C. Furst and N. B. Spangler represented the Commonwealth. ~ A number of witnesses were exam- ined, among them being Miss Merris Mann, J. C. Nason, John C. Andrews and James Andrews, and their testi- mony was such as to warrant the jus- tice in holding each of the defendants in $3000.00 bail for their appearance at court. An attempt was made to raise the amount of bail required, but failing in that all three men were sent back to jail. ——J. B. Wiles has resigned his position as secretary of the Philips- burg chamber of commerce to accept a similar position at Parkersburg, W. Va. Mr. Wiles went to Philipsburg from Altoona just eleven months ago and did good work there, but he was constrained to accept the offer at Parkersburg because it offers a wider field and an increase in salary. The change will be made November first. ———Dr. Garfield, federal fuel ad- ministrator raised the ban on the gas- less Sunday last Friday but Old Bo- reas turned out such disagreeable weather on Sunday that few auto owners had the nerve to venture out.

He says they are exceed- ingly scarce up there and as he knew that Howard Bartley had a good crop he just decided to slip down and hold Howard up for half a bushel or more. —Mr. and Mrs. I. P. Lucas, who had been visiting with Mr. Lucas’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Lucas, at their home near Howard, returned to Akron, Ohio, Monday.

Va., during the fore part of the week to attend the funeral of his great-aunt, Mrs. Jane Brown. In telling of their successful war work down there he said that in the last Red Cross drive they went to a farmer who said he had no money, but if they would take a shoat he would be mighty glad to give it. They took the little red shoat and the local lodge of Elks chanced it off with the re- sult that it netted over $600 for the Red Cross. —Mr. and Mrs. Themas Curiale, of Linn- brook, N. Y., were guests of Mrs. Samuel Sheffer from Wednesday until Sunday, having come here on their wedding trip. Mr. Curiale is a native of Italy and when Mr. Sheffer was in charge at the American Lime & Stone company he took quite an interest in the boy, so much so that he and Mrs. Sheffer partly raised him to man- hood. Mr. Curiale never forgot Mr. and Mrs. Sheffer’s kindness and his trip at this time was to visit the scenes of his youth and especially to see Mrs. Sheffer. —Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Twitmire cele- brated Mr. Twitmire’'s birthday Wednes- day, in Bellefonte with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.

Pearl Thomas, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who has been sick in the Bellefonte hos- pital is very much improved. He was on his way back to his old home at Howard with the body of his wife when he became so ill that he had to be taken off the train here and taken to the hospital. Mr. Thomas is a graduate of Penn State and was graduate manager of athletics there before he went to Cincinnati for the Arm- strong Cork Co., of Pittsburgh. He has been climbing right up in his work and that his company regards him as a very valuable man is proven by the fact that it sent a nurse here to specialize on his case as soon as his condition was known. —Mrs. Grant Pifer, of Wilkinsburg, is | expected in Bellefonte next week, for a visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Hoy. —Mrs. Andrew Engle and Andrew Jr., returned home on Monday from a six week's visit among friends in Punxsutaw- ney and Cleveland, Ohio. —Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Shuey and Mr. and Mrs. W. T.

Mrs. Hockenberry has been a res- ident of State College for thirteen years and is still keeping roomers. She says she likes to have the boys in her house and especially now since the army regulations have gone into effect there. —QGeorge C. Meyer, of State College, was a business visitor in Bellefont~ an Tues- day and a pleasant caller at the “Watch- man” office. While he admits that the situation at State College had been quite grave on account of the Spanish influen- za, he avers that the situation is now im- proving and like everybody else hopes that the epidemic will soon have run its course. —Mr. Daniel Peters, of Hecla Park, was in town Wednesday, having motored up with his son. Mr. Peters regrets to see the dissolution of the Central R. R. of Penna., and we don’t wonder that he feels badly over it for he has been its general factotum around Hecla ev: since it start- ed. In fact he was its first section boss, and later had been looking after the park. Mr. Peters is not worried about his own welfare. He is thinking only of the ef- fect on the valley. He can do anything and will get along; proof of that is shown in the fact that he has just finished kusk- ing three hundred bushels of corn which he grew on a lot of only three acres.

May it be that God is chastising us, as nations and <| individuals, because of our worldli- ness, and thus trying to bring us to our knees in humility and penitence? We may fight against men and win; but to fight against God is to lose. Our churches have been closed for some time, but they will be opened again. Will you be found among the worshipers? Don’t be a slacker! Think on these things. BERTRAM.—Thomas Bertram, a well known engineer on the Pitts- burgh division of the Pennsylvania railroad, dropped dead on Monday afternoon just as he entered the gate at his home up Spring creek. Mr. Bertram was fifty-nine years old and had been an engineer for more than thirty years. For years he ran an engine that hauled one of the fast passenger trains between Altoona and Pittsburgh but about a year ago he had an attack of heart trouble and since then he had been driving one of the mountain pushers. He made his regular runs on Sunday and on Mon- day, as was his custom, came to Bellefonte on the Pennsylvania-Le- high train and walked up Spring creek to his home. As he passed the Christ Beezer home he stopped and chatted with Mrs. Beezer at the time remarking that he didn’t feel very well. He continued on home and a few minutes later Mr. Beezer in driving past the Bertram home saw him lying just inside the gate. He went to see what was wrong and found him dead. The Bertram family were away at the time and when they returned were naturally very much shocked. Mr. Bertram had been a resident of Altoona until fourteen years ago when he bought the home up Spring creek where his family have since re- sided. He was a member of the Cath- olic church, the Brotherhood of Rail- way Engineers and several fraternal organizations. Surviving him are his wife, two daughters and two sons, namely: Mrs. Frank Donovan, of Axe Mann; Joseph, in service in France; Ruth and Edward, at home.
