She | leaves her husband and four small children. Owing to the unusual demand for space to advertise the United War Work Campaign the conclusion of the story, “The Singer at the Window,” | the first part of which was published in last week’s paper, will be published | next week. . In figuring up the voters in the North ward on Tuesday it was dis- covered that just seventy-six voting soldiers were away in service, and peculiar as it may seem thirty-eight of them were Democrats and thirty- ! eight Republicans. John P. Harris on Saturday moved from his house on Linn street, where he spent fifty-one years, to the home of his daughter, Dr. Edith | Schad, in Petrikin hall, where he will spend the winter. The Linn street! home will be closed for the winter. ! There will be a sale of house- | hold goods at the residence of Geo. ! A. Beezer, on Curtin street, on Sat- urday afternoon, November 16th, at 1:30 o’clock. The Beezers have sold their home and are going to dispose of most of their household effects. The rabbit season opened last Friday and while rabbits did not seem | to be generally plentiful, Joseph W. | Runkle made the biggest kill of any ! of the gunners in this section, coming | in with the limit of ten cotton-tails. | A few other hunters got one and two | rabbits but no record bags. | Under an order promulgated | by Judge Henry C. Quigley a year ago the December term of court this year ! will begin the second Monday of the | month instead of the first Monday as formerly, or on December 9th. Liti- gants, jurors and constables will please make note of this change. Announcements have been re- ceived here of the marriage of Miss Lota Bokel, of Baltimore, and Lieut. Col. O’Brien, of the U. S. regular ar- my. Mr. and Mrs. O’Brien are at home for the present time at Ameri- can Lake, Wash. Miss Bokel was well known in Bellefonte, having fre- quently visited here as a guest of Miss Helen Ceader. Mrs. Frank Warfield and her daughter, Mrs. Frank Craig, have both taken apartments in the Shoe- maker flats. Mrs. Warfield went there when the Harris home on Linn street was closed, while Mr. and Mrs. Craig took possession of theirs the first of November, moving there from the Garman house, on the corner of Spring and High streets. The Bellefonte Academy re- ceived a new student this week in the person of Edward H. Mohr, son of Claude M. Mohr, proprietor of the Ho- tel Hanover, Philadelphia. He has lately been attending a military school in New Jersey and has quite a reputation as an all-around athlete, having taken prizes in track meets and won honors on the gridiron and in other sports.. —Invitations have been received in Bellefonte for the marriage of Mrs. Margaret Hanna, formerly of Lock Haven, and Thomas C. Costello, of Williamsport, the wedding to take place Tuesday evening, November twelfth. Mr. and Mrs. Castello will be at home in Williamsport after De- cember first. Mrs. Hanna lived in Bellefonte for several years before going to California, where she spent three years with her daughter, re- turning east about a year ago. The Scenic theatre will open to the public this (Friday) evening with a regular Metro picture. During the month this popular place of amuse- ment has been closed some very decid- ed improvements have been made. In addition to the installation of two new machines and the enlargement of the booth, the seats have all been re- arranged so as to afford a better view of the stage, the curtain has been moved back, the hall painted, paper- ed and thoroughly renovated and fu- migated. Tomorrow evening the big feature picture of Douglass Fair- banks in “Bound in Morocco” will be shown. A hearing was held in Belle- fonte yesterday before a referee in the matter of compensation being drawn by Clyde Gray, son of Irvin G. Gray, of Stormstown, for an injured hand. Mr. Gray had his hand hurt with a piece of flying steel in Janu- uary, 1917, and has been drawing compensation ever since. Recently when officials of the insurance compa- ny that carried the compensation learned that the Grays had been ar- rested on a serious charge they insti- tuted proceedings to inquire into the fact as to Gray being entitled to draw further insurance, not because of the alleged criminal charges against him but purely from the medical stand- point of having recovered from the in- jury on which he was drawing the in- surance. The case was not completed } when the “Watchman” went to press. | Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Word was received in Belle- | Association and the Salvation Army; so that now these united organizations are asking for $170,500,000 with which to continue the wonderful work they : have been doing. The only recognized war work organization not in this union is the Red been agreed upon and will be made with the approval of the government. Centre county is expected to contribute $41,000.00 and to do it during : next week. We have not fallen down on anything yet, but it will take plenty | Americans. success. It is a chance to give outright, to cast our bread upon the waters to do something for the moral and physical welfare of the 1673 young men who have left homes in Centre county that we want them to come back to bless. Centre County Has 1673 Men in the Service. As near as they can be tabulated with any degree of accuracy Centre county has thus far sent 1673 men to the service of their country. Following is the list according to the postoffice addresses of the men. t should be understood, for instance, | that while Bellefonte has sent an un- usual number of her sons all of the 365 credited to this postoffice are not residents of Bellefonte. them should be credited to Spring, Benner and Walker townships. In fact every point having rural mail de- . | livery serves a large outlying coun- | rd ? ’ : | va. ne y leaders of the movement themselves 2broad—and this being so it was a try so that boys inducted into the service from townships surrounding such postoffices naturally give their addresses as recorded here. In Centre county we are asked to raise $41,000 for the upkeep of seven organizations who are working night and day for the welfare of our boys. | Let us do it. Let us put the drive that | opens next Monday through with a whoop. Aaronsburg Axe Mann Bellefonte . Denore Bealsburg .

Wolf's Store Woodward Yarnell Why One of Our Boys Likes a Certain Little French Town. From a letter from one of our boys over there we take the following par- agraph: “No wonder I like the little town. I know it is old and bat- tered looking but it is beautiful none the less for on one of its main streets is a house where I, like thousands of other American boys am always welcome and can find a real home at any time of the day or night. And what a whiff of home atmosphere and what inspiration we get from Miss Bertha Laurie.” Understand, we do not wish for a moment to give the idea that Miss Laurie is doing it all. She is only a type of thousands of fine American girls who are over there providing an atmosphere of pure, christian wom- anhood—the greatest safeguard con- ceivable—for our boys. . Every other one of the organiza- tions united in this drive are doing the same kind of beneficent work that the Y. M. C. A. is engaged in. It has been the work of such organ- izations, more than anything else, that has kept the morale of our men up to the point where it is the won- der of the world. eS — New Sugar Ruling. Merchants are now permitted to sell sugar to the amount of three pound per person, per month, to re- main effective until further notice. Consumers may purchase either a fif- teen or thirty day’s supply at one time, at option of purchaser, signing counter register, as heretofore. W. F. REYNOLDS, Food Administrator for Centre County. Some of ; | The Campaign Opened at State Col- | lege and the Bellefonte Acade- my on Sunday. | A start has already been made in | the drive to raise $41,000.00 in Cen- | Pers of the county last week the Red tre county for seven of the great or- | ganizations doing beneficent worl €% Organizations united in the drive | a | among our soldiers at home and abroad. | Meetings of the students of The | in many of the barracks at that insti- | tution on Sunday and so great was | the response to the appeal for funds ‘ that $22,400 were subscribed. A good start had previously been made by the | who had subscribed $1800 before they presented the matter to the students at all. | Twelve speakers were at the Col- i lege, among them several workers : who have seen over seas service. | AT THE BELLEFONTE ACADEMY. Several speakers addressed the stu- ‘dents at the Bellefonte Academy at j noon on Sunday and as usual these | loyal prep school boys responded gen- erously. It is well for we people of Centre county to realize that the Academy boys, like most of the stu- dents at The Pennsylvania State Col- lege are from distant parts of the country. Very few of them are Cen- tre countians, yet the splendid con- tributions they have made are all to be credited to us. : They have set a strong pace for the county, so let us ‘strain every effort to keep it up. { 1 Ae Bits From Miss Bertha Laurie’s Lat- est Letters Home. “We have been moved up to a new place, so thrilling too, within hearing distance of the guns and scores of | planes flying in beautiful formation toward the front. Of course here there are no lights on the streets and our windows are covered with black cloth. But oh! the satisfaction of feeding, cold, tired, hungry boys with all the hot chocolate and fresh bread and jam they can hold. Next week we will get into a new place and will then be equipped to serve them hot soup too. Our house is open all day and all night and we have the forty cots filled and the floor covered with sleeping boys every night and a fine secretary who always has hot chocolate ready for them by 6 o’clock in the morning.” This is the word of a girl, whom nearly everybody in Centre county knows or knows of, as to what the Y. M. C. A. is doing for—YOUR BOY, maybe, over in France. Miss Laurie gave up a fine position in the First National bank in Bellefonte to go to the front and she is only one of thousands of others who have done the same and shall her sacrifice be made fruitless for want of funds with which to carry on the wonderful work ? Get behind the United War Work campaign and show her and her no- ble comrades that Centre county deems no price too high to pay for the safeguarding of the physical and mor- al well being of her sons. “I am going tomorrow to buy a rub- ber poncho for we have to take fold- ing cots with us and as we will have no mattresses the poncho will help to keep the cold out under the blankets. All we can take of our accumulations in ten months’ service is what we can pack in the barracks bag and the pack we carry on our back, but that doesn’t matter, they need us so badly up front. Oh, but we do need fine men and women workers over here. It just seems as if I must compel peo- ple of the right sort to come over. It is the most enormous work and it is under-manned and not nearly enough women and there never was work so absolutely necessary. WON'T YOU PRAY THAT THE DRIVE IS SUC- CESSFUL? “I know that the boys need us and our work without their constant asser- tions of it. Why when the orders came for us to move it was pathetic. One big Swede hung about the hut all day striving to help us pack. He seemed unlike himself and the cause came out just before he left in the evening when he came up to me with tears in his eyes and said: “Mother, I've been out in the world for eighteen years and this is the first day I have ever been homesick!” Miss Laurie asks her friends over here to “pray that the drive is sue-, cessful.” We are all friends in this common cause so let us pray and PAY | too. i | Big Mass Meeting This Afternoon. A big mass meeting in the interest of the united campaign for seven war work organizations will be held in the ; court house, Bellefonte, this (Friday) | afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. Samuel W. Clinton, a Y. M. C. A. worker who ! has spent months overseas for that: ! splendid organization, ' 1 i | of hard work on the part of every one if we are to maintain our record of | an opportunity to prove our loyalty | This is not a chance to put money out at interest. | i | | i | i | i 1 | | | { { | i i | will be the principal speaker and will tell of the : wonderful work being done for our boys in France by the seven organi- zations now appealing to the public for support for another year. Every man, woman and child in Centre coun- ! ty ought to hear him. He will not! only tell how your money is spent but | will show you that it is going for the { best of causes, the physical as well as | the moral uplift of the American boys fighting in France. When we read of | ' Cross which will appeal alone for funds, but its appeal will not be made un- | the gallantry and bravery of the | til next spring. The division of the funds raised by this drive have already | American boys on the firing line, and | their determination to carry the Stars | and Stripes to a triumphant victory, | we all swell with pride that we are! And now when there is! to those boys let us do it with a will- | ingness and generosity that cannot be questioned, Therefore we say, go and hear Mr. Clinton this afternoon and learn exactly how your money will be used, and then give to the best of | your ability. tra Ermmremteres A Misstatement Corrected. In the publicity given the United | War Work campaign by the newspa- ! Cross was included in the list of sev- that will open on November 11th. It was an inadvertence on the part | of the writer who prepared the copy | Pennsylvania State College were held , 30d certainly was without design or intent to misrepresent the situation. | In the last analysis every recognized | organization doing war work has the | same objective—the physical and mor- | al welfare of our boys at home and | perfectly natural slip for the writer to have included the Red Cross in the | hurried compilation of the seven or- | ganizations he was forced to make in | order to get the copy to the newspa- | pers in time for publication. While the Red Cross will not par- | ticipate in the distribution of the | funds raised in this drive we sincere- | ly hope that it will participate in the | work of the drive by throwing its | splendid organization whole hearted- ! ly and enthusiastically behind it.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS CAM- PAIGN. “Over the Top Week” in the Novem- ber 25th to December 1st Drive. _ Attention is again called/to early Christmas. shopping. . Give your friends a War Savings stamp for a Christmas gift, and thus help the boys “over there” who are making the supreme sacrifice. The report of the War Savings com- mittee, in Centre county, for the weeks ending October 19th and 26th, respectively, show that Centre coun- ty had a per capita for. those two weeks of 5bc., or a total per capita to October 26th of $16.59, which means that we will have to raise, between this and the end of the year, an ad- ditional per capita of $3.40, and for that reason an “over the top week” is planned, at which time every citizen in Centre county should be able to say that he or she assisted, in a material way, in putting Centre county “over the top” in the War Savings cam- paign. We retain fourth place in the list of counties in the Eastern district of Pennsylvania. \ W. HARRISON WALKER, Chairman War Savings Committee for Centre County. Red Cross News. The Red Cross has received enough wool for one hundred sweaters and knitters can receive same from Miss Morris. All wool must be accounted for and each person will be held re- sponsible for the return of one sweat- er for each 3 pound of wool taken.

Please bring your box, label and postage, the Red Cross will do the rest. Remember the time and place, Wednesday, No- vember 13th, 2 to 5 o’clock, Zeller’s drug store. J. B. COOK, Chairman. —_——— eee Red Cross Will Open for Work on Monday. Now that the quarantine has been lifted the Red Cross will open for work on Monday. We have a large order to fill and need the help of every woman in town. The demand for surgical dressings and hospital supplies is greater each day and it is hoped that every woman will give as much time as she can to the work. MARY MILES BLANCHARD.

He used the butt end of his gun to chase the rabbit out with the result that the hammer of the gun hit the log, the gun was dis- charged and the entire load of shot penetrated the young man’s left side severing the main artery not far from the heart.

Condo with the Potter- | Hoy Hardware Co., is arranging to | move his family here from Spring Mills, as soon as an occupant for their house there can be found. C. Harper, ! | Many Pleasant Letters Come to the i Editor’s Desk. Of course the receipt of a pleasant letter is not an every day occurrence in the life of the editor of the i “Watchman” nor is it so rare as to be unusual, but during the campaign i that we have been making to hurry your subscribers along so that their ‘paid up mark is at least beyond the | government’s “dead line” we have re- | ceived so many that we simply must ! take notice of them. More than half the hundreds of sub- i seribers who have thus far responded to the call accompanied their remit- | tance with some nice little comment i on the value of the “Watchman” to { them. It is music to the ears of every { worker on the “Watchman.” Lives | there a being anywhere so indifferent | to praise that it does not stimulate ‘him to better work. | We think and the great trade jour- { nals of our profession proclaim the | “Watchman” as the “best printed, ' most attractively arranged and news. i lest county weekly paper printed,” | but being in the business we don’t | see the paper from its reader's view- | Point so that these letters carry con- | viction where otherwise doubt might | be lingering. ! Inasmuch as it would be impossible { to reply to all of them we make this | public acknowledgement of our appre- | ciation and assure the writers that | their expressions have been more than | encouraging. i In this connection Mr. J. W. Lytle i writes from Jersey Shore: “I am now | nearing fifty years old and the | ‘Watchman” has been in our family longer than I have been so that I | would be lost without it.” It is quite | probable that about forty-nine years (ago our friend didn’t value the | “Watchman” so highly and tore it to | shreds every time it was left lying | around where he could get it. Then a lady writes from Ruther- i ford, N. J., that she likes everything i about the “Watchman” but its busi- ness management and proceeds to tell {us that she had made up her mind | never to pay for the paper until we i sent her a bill, like regular people do. | We own that the criticism was justi- fied and want to assure the lady, as i well as many others of our readers that we have never sent bills for the Watchman” because we have always been under the impression that the | figures denoting the date of expira- tion of a subscription that ave printed on every mailing label constituted a weekly statement of the account. | Brief Meeting of Borough Council. | Just six members were present at | the regular meeting of borough coun- | cil held on Monday evening, the first In a month. The Street committee re- ported all the sanitary sewage com- pleted on south Water street and all od Dovough work done so that the completion of ‘the job is now up to ontractor R. B, Taylor, . In this con- “| nection the Street committee was in- | structed to urge upon engineer Wayne D. Meyer the fact that the work should be rushed considerably faster than it has been or cold weather will come before it is completed. . The Water committee reported var- lous repairs around town made nec- essary in order to put the service in good condition before winter sets in. The committee also reported the wa- ter tax duplicate amounting to $8,- 536.50 ready for the collectors. The Fire and Police committee re- ported that the Logan Fire company would like more radiation in their reading room, as it is impossible to keep it comfortable. In this connec- tion it was suggested that a little more radiation in the council cham- ber would not be a bad idea. The Finance committee reported a balance in the hands of the borough treasurer amounting to $2,135.27. A borough note for $400 dated October 18th, was also presented for renewal. Through his attorneys, Orvis & Zerby, Forest L. Bullock entered a protest against the grade established in front of his shop by the building of the state road on south Water street, and the matter was referred to the izes committee and borough solic- itor. Regarding the long-discussed ques- tion of south Potter street the Street committee and borough solicitor were instructed to make a written report at the next meeting of council on the question of equity proeeedings to es- tablish just where the street is lo- cated. President Walker appointed James C. Furst and Col. W. Fred Reynolds additional members of the Bellefonte board of health and the appointments were approved by council. Bills to the amount of $4,012.82 were approved and council adjourned. Farmers Livestock Day at State Col- lege, Tuesday, November 12.
