Bellefonte, Pa., November 15, 1918. Ean THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY The regular monthly meeting of the Patriotic League will be held in the High school building Friday even- ing at 7:30 o’clock. At just six o'clock last Friday evening contractor R. B. Taylor put the finishing touches on the concrete foundation for the state road from the bridge over Logan’s branch to the intersection of Hight street. Up to yesterday every land- lord but one in Centre county had fil- ed his application for a liquor license in 1919, and as the time for filing has passed the limit has been reached. All told twenty-eight applications have been filed. Farmers’ institutes scheduled for Centre county the current season will be held at Rebersburg January 27 and 28; Pine Grove Mills January 29 and 30, and Stormstown January 31 and February 1st. Full programs will be gotten out in due time. ——The children of the late Arthur B. Kimport wish, through the columns of the “Watchman” to express their thanks to relatives, friends and the Brotherhood of Elks for their kind assistance and expressions of sympa- hy during the funeral of their father. ——The cider making season is about over and although Wallace S. ‘White, at Axe Mann, failed to keep a record of the number of gallons of apple juice he squeezed out, he is pos- itive that he had the busiest season he has had since he has been in the cider making business. rothonotary David R. Fore- man has received the returns of the soldiers’ vote from a number of camps but whether from all Centre county soldiers he is mot able to tell. The law allows three weeks in which to get such returns and the count will not be made until that time is up. The Attorney General for Pennsylvania has been instructed by the State Highway Department to bring suit in the Dauphin county court against a large number of bor- oughs and townships in the State, de- linquent in the matter of paying their portion of money due on state road contracts, and among the number is Snow Shoe township, Centre county. The collection to be taken Sun- day of the victory service in the Episcopal church, at 7:30 p. m. will be devoted to the United War Work cam- paign. All personal subscriptions and pledges by that time, it is hoped, will be in the hands of the committee, and this collection will be an addition- al offering to this great work, in thanksgiving to our boys for their success in the war, 0 The epidemic throughout Centre county is subsid- ing gradually. Last week conditions were such at Pleasant Gap that an ap- peal for help was made to the State Board of Health for a doctor and a nurse. Dr. White, of Reading, was _ sent there but the board was unable to furnish a nurse. The conditions, however, improved rapidly and Dr. ‘White remained only a few days. Having been thoroughly re- modeled during the summer season so that it looks like a new place the Lyr- ic theatre is now open with its even- ing programs of moving pictures. Pictures which will entertain and de- light both old and young. Nothing out-of-date but the latest productions of some of the best motion picture producers. The program at the Lyr- ic is always arranged to please the multitudes. Try it. The Scenic is again open after being closed for five weeks and pa- trons of that popular place of amuse- ment appreciate just how much it means to them to be able to have such a pleasant place to go and spend an evening. The pictures are just as good as ever they were and the new arrangement in the interior adds a lot to the pleasure of the patrons. If you have not been there this week go and see it and enjoy the pictures. Prof. Henry F. Bitner, who since last spring has been living in Lewisburg, and for some time has been working in the shell plant at Milton, suffered a broken arm on Tuesday of last week and as a result will be off duty for some weeks. Mr. Bitner was on a motor bus returning from Milton to Lewisburg when the bus collided with a big truck. Prof. Bitner had his right arm hanging out of the bus and it was caught by the truck, fracturing the bone above the elbow. Mrs. Nathan Bachman, who this year is engaged in farming be- low Milesburg, was a business visitor in Bellefonte on Tuesday and a very pleasant caller at this office. She and her family have had a very success- ful summer on the farm and deserve every bit of good fortune that prov- idence can bestow upon them. In ad- dition to good crops of all kinds of grain Mrs. Bachman was successful in raising an abundance of hubbard squashes which vie in size and quali- ty of the kind so numerously grown in New Jersey. ——While the people of Bellefonte are doing their part in a financial way toward the establishment of a land- ing sfation on the Beaver farm for the Wilson aerial mail service, they should bear in mind the fact that when the service becomes permanent- ly established there is every proba- bility that a wireless radio station will also be erected here, in close proxim- ity to the building of the landing sta- tion. It should not be hard to figure out what an advertisement for Belle- fonte both an aerial station and a ra- dio station will be. of influenza: - were also in line. | was sparkling and crackling and the | tooting of horns, ringing of bells and CELEBRATED PEACE ARMISTICE. Bellefonte, State College and All Centre County Jubilantly Celebrated the Dawn of Peace on Monday. Received at 4 A. M. News Business Entirely Suspended Throughout the Day. The armistice has been signed and peace is in sight. Bellefonte celebrated twice, the first time on a rumor, the last time on the real thing. And the last celebration was also a real one. It began at 4:30 in the morning and lasted all day and a good part of the night. And the enthusiasm over victory and prospective peace, did not overshad- ow the patriotism with which the peo- ple of Bellefonte and Centre county responded to every demand for men and money made upon them since the United States became embroiled in the world war. To be exact it was just about 4:10 o’clock on Monday morning when a flash came over the wires of the Bell Telephone company that the armistice had been signed. Confirmation of the announcement followed from Wash- ington immediately afterwards. The telephone company had prepared for the emergency and immediately spread the good news. At 4:20 the siren voice of the fire alarm awoke the people of Bellefonte to the fact that the armistice had been signed. : It was only a question of a few min- utes until whistles and bells were’ pealing forth the glad tidings. The result was men and women forsook their beds and hastily dressing pa- raded the streets in the crisp morning air giving vent to their enthusiasm in every way imaginable. When daylight came business men bv common consent kept their places of business closed, and even sheriff Yarnell, the man who has heretofore been enforcing the work or fight or- der, threatened to arrest any man caught working that day. A bonfire was lighted down town and improm- tu paraders were numerous during the forenoon. BIG PARADE AT STATE COLLEGE. Finally word came that State Col- lege was going to celebrate in the afternoon and the Bellefonte Central Railroad company agreed to run a free train to take Bellefonters up. The result was six well-packed care loads went to the College shortly be- fore two o'clock, while many more motored up. The celebration at the College included a parade over a mile long, which included in addition to the | Bellefonte delegation the national ar- my men in training there, all the stu- dents, civic organizations and the public generally, led by the Cadet band of, eighty-four pieces. Of course Qur Girls-band of Milesburg ' and the Citizens’ band of Ferguson township Following the pa- , rade there were a number of speeches. ' In the midst of the great jubilation the speakers did not lose sight of the | fact that this is the week of the great ' war work drive and they urged every- body to give liberally. Ome of the speakers told of a college student who has given $1,000 to the good cause. Another speaker commended the boy who had given the thousand dollars but stated that he knew of one who had done better. He then told of a young man who is working his way through college and when he was ap- proached he gave pledge for one hun- ! dred dollars. Some of his friends went to him afterwards and asked him why he pledged so much? They | told him that he would feel it for five years to come, and the student re- | plied: “Well, that’s just what I want , to do, give until I feel it.” If every- | body will do that how easy it will be to go away over the top be- fore the drive is closed this week. | THE PARADE IN BELLEFONTE. Bellefonte’s big parade was held at 8:30 o'clock Monday evening. | State College reciprocated very gen- erously and in addition to sending down the Cadet band, a large delega- tion of Red Cross women, the Lemont band and scores of people motored here for the event. The parade formed at the High school building with Capt. Robert F. Hunter as chief marshall. The Cadet band led and in the line were the Red Cross of State College, Bellefonte and Milesburg, Our Girls band, the Un- dine and Logan Fire companies, the Bellefonte Lodge of Odd Fellows, the Moose, the Elks, Lemont band, the local mounted machine gun company on foot, George C. Glenn’s famous drum corps, students of the Bellefonte Academy, members of the A. M. E. church, a delegation of Italian citi- zens and automobiles. The parade marched south on Al- legheny to Bishop street, Bishop to Spring, Spring to High, High to the railroad, countermarched to the Dia- mond and dismissed. On the review- ing stand in the Diamond was Bur- gess W. Harrison Walker, Dr. E. E. Sparks. Col. J. L. Spangler, Col. H. S. Taylor, G. C. Conner, of Washing- ton, and others. At the conclusion of the parade an attempt was made by some of the gentlemen to speak to the crowd of several thousand people, but the occasion was entirely too joyous a one for the crowd and it was impossi- ble for the gentlemen to make them- selves heard above the pandemonium of noise. Dr. Sparks attempted it and he is a very good speaker, but even with his ability he could not talk against pistol shots and old tin pans and he finally retired with good grace and urged the crowd to enjoy them- selves, as the occasion warranted it. In the meantime the big bonfire in the Diamond had been lighted and ‘ every other war work undertaking. ! the top” during the present week in i to go “over the top” in the war sav- for the people of this country to con- blowing of whistles kept up until long after ten o’clock. MILESBURG ALSO CELEBRATED Milesburg celebrated the event by a parade at six o’clock in which Our Girls band, the Red Cross, civic or-! ganizations and school children took part, and other towns and villages in Centre county also showed their joy and jubilation that the great conflict was at an end. And now that the armistice has been signed there seems no reason to | doubt but that a just and honorable peace will finally be promulgated at . the conference yet to be held. Those | . responsible for the war will have to | answer for their crime against the | outraged countries, but as Dr. Sparks ' stated on Monday evening, “it is not | vengeance we desire, only justice.” | And if every man gets justice accord- | ing to his deserts, there will be no oc- | casion for the victors to complain. i But while the end of the war is thus | in sight the fathers and mothers of | Centre county must not expect their | sons home very soon. There is still | much to do in France and it may be! six months before the first contingent : is sent home from overseas and two | years before the last of our gallant | army waves farewell to the shores of sunny France. But even with that there is great cause for thankfulness | and rejoicing that from now on their work will be the upbuilding of civil- | ization without the danger of facing | Hun bullets, and in that they will be | just as safe as if at our own firesides. | WE MUST ALL GET BUSY. | The War Work Drive is Lagging. Only $6,102.50 Subscribed in Four Days. With $41,000.00 to raise and four | days of the campaign already gone only $6,102.50 have been reported as being subscribed for the United War Work campaign. We must be up and | doing. We can’t lag behind in this when we have gone over the top in Let us all get busy today and to- morrow and show that we can make what now seems an impossibility pos- sible. Don’t wait for some one to ask you to contribute. Go to the nearest solicitor and do it voluntarily or tel- ephone directly to the headquarters of the county in Bellefonte. Let us put it over the top—away over. —oe —— Over the Top Week for War Savings Stamps. The week commencing November | 25th is the time fixed to take Centre county “over the top” in actual sales of war savings stamps, and during that week I respectfully request that every postmaster, banker, district chairman, authorized agent, school teacher, and in fact every patriotic citizen in the county make it their per- sonal business to sell and also to buy W. S. S. to the limit. Centre county has gone “over the top” in every previous campaign, and indications are that we will go “over the war work campaign, by raising our quota of $41,000, but we also want ings campaign and raise $3.08 per capita between this and December 31st. The report of the war savings cam- paign, so far as it refers to Centre county, for the week ending Novem- ber 2nd, gives us 33c. per capita, or a total of $16.92 for the entire campaign. We must raise, between this and the end of December, $3.08. We lost fourth place during the week of No- vember 2nd, Wyoming county having for that week 79c. per capita, or a to- tal per capita of $17.20. We have, therefore, moved down the line to fifth place. Think the matter over carefully and resolve to do your utmost, in fact, to do your patriotic duty, and take Cen- tre county “over the top” during the week of November 25th. Although peace has been declared, it will nevertheless be from one and a half to two years before all “our boys” return. There are many things that must be done by them “over there” and it is, therefore, necessary tinue to stand back of the boys until they “come marching home.” Do your very best. Buy the limit of W. S. S. Do your whole duty. W. HARRISON WALKER, Chairman War Savings Committee for Centre County. Announcement of the State College Chapter Red Cross. The annual meeting of the State College chapter of the Red Cross will be held in the assembly room of the Liberal Arts building on Monday evening, November 18th, at 7:30 o'clock. A complete report of the chapter and its auxiliaries will be made. Officers will be elected for the ensuing year. On Saturday evening, November 23rd, the Red Cross chapter of State College invites the community to a free exhibition of moving pictures. These will be presented by Captain Ingram and will show life in the front line trenches as well as other fields ! of Red Cross activity both here and “over there.” All are invited. | and the representatives of the Post- BELLEFONTE FIRST STATION ON AERIAL MAIL ROUTE. Landing Site Selected and Contract Let for Erection of Hangar, Etc. Notwithstanding the fact that Lock Haven, State College and other near- by towns put forth considerable ef- fort to have the landing station on the Wilson aerial mail route between New York and Chicago located there Bellefonte has been definitely select- ed as the place for the station and the hanger will be erected and everything in readiness for the first flight of the mail carrying machines on December 15th. The “Watchman” carried an item several weeks ago stating that Belle- fonte had been selected as a station on the route because it had been rec- ommended by the aviators making the . preliminary flights as the most advan- | togeous place, all points considered. ’ But even then the matter was not def- | initely settled. Last Thursday even- ing, however, G. C. Conner, chief : clerk under the second assistant post- | master general, and Charles N. Kight, special representative of the aerial mail service, arrived in Belle- fonte for the purpose of looking up available sites. On Friday they were ! shown the available landing places and promptly selected the field on | Thomas Beaver’s farm, lying south ! of the state road. One of the provis- | ions of locating the landing-field in' Bellefonte was that the citizens would show sufficient interest in the matter to contribute $1,600 toward the erec- tion of the necessary buildings and when the matter was taken up with the Board of Trade that organization promptly assumed that responsibility, office Department promptly signed the agreement. The contract calls for the erection of a hanger and oil house. Mr. Con- ner informed a “Watchman” repre- sentative that the hanger is to be 60x120 feet in size, capable of hous- ing three machines. The oil house will be of only moderate size, just sufficient to keep a stock of oil and ' gas on hand. The buildings will be | located at the east end of the field and when the service has been put in op- | eration at least one extra machine will be kept in the hanger all the time ! in case of emergency. The contract for the buildings has been let to Geh- ! ret & Lambert but the contract will have to be sent to Washington for ap- proval before building operations can be begun. As previously mentioned the main landing stations between New York | and Chicago will be Bellefonte and | Cleveland, Ohio, although emergency stations will also be located at Le- highton and Clarion, Pa., and Bryan, | Ob. While regular service will | probably not be inaugurated bares December 15th, the contract calls for | the completion of the buildings by | December 9th, and it is possible that | flights. will be made previous to the | 15th. Wild Turkey Season Opened This Morning. | Centre county hunters will be in their element today because the wild ! turkey season opened this morning. | So far the only sport in the hunting line has been in gunning for squirrel and rabbit. The closing of the State to pheasant this year knocked all the sport out of hunting for a large num- ber of nimrods who prefer a wing shot to any other kind. But with wild turkeys they will be able to indulge their preference to the limit, because the wild turkey is not only an unusu- ally cunning bird, but is fleet-footed as a horse and almost as swift of wing as an eagle. In fact it is only the good shots who succeed in bag- | ging them. Just how plentiful the birds will prove to be when hunting for them re- mains to be seen this evening. Quite a number of old and young turkeys have been seen on Nittany mountain, Bald Eagle mountain and in the foot- hills of the Alleghenies, but the big question for the hunters today will be to find them. — ee Red Cross Election. The annual election of officers for the Bellefonte Chapter American Red Cross will take place in the chapter work rooms, in the Masonic building, on Wednesday afternoon, November 20th, from two until five o’clock. All members of the Red Cross are enti- tled to vote and are urged to do so. The ballot is as follows: Chairmgn—James B. Cook. Vice Chairman—Mrs. Harry Keller. Secretary—Rev. M. DeP. Maynard.

Roland Miller, a former well known i resident of this vicinity, was the vie- - tim of an accident at the plant of the | Pittsburgh Plate Glass company, at { Ford City, on Monday afternoon, i which resulted in his death. Mr. Mil- ler had been superintendent at the : plant for some time past and, al- i though the exact nature of the acci- : dent is not known, he in some way got caught in the big sand shovel and was injured so badly that he died inside of three hours. Roland Lawrence Miller was a son of G. Frank and Nancy Janet Miller and was born at Belleville on Novem- ber 31st, 1876, hence was almost for- ty-two years old. When a child his parents moved to Philadelphia but came to Bellefonte when he was four- teen years of age. Here he grew to manhood and started out to make his own way in life. After his marriags, in 1897, to Miss Amanda Eckley, he went to farming on the Eckley farm in Benner township. Some years lat- er he became an inspector of stone for the Pittsburgh Plate Glass com- _ bany, passing on all the limestone | shipped that company by the old . Bellefonte Furnace company. Six years ago, when the Pittsburgh Glass company changed its place of getting stone Mr. Miller was offered the posi- tion of inspector of stone at the Ford City plant and moved there from . Bellefonte. He proved such a capa- { ble man that he was later made su- perintendent of the plant. | He is survived by his wife and sev- Nancy, Doro- ; thy, Mary, Sarah, Rachael, Julia and . Frank. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Parsons, of Williamsport, and Eo Edna Wilkins, of Washington, The remains were brought to Belle- | fonte on the Pennsylvania-Lehigh i train at 1:26 yesterday afternoon and | taken to the home of his mother, on | Thomas street, where funeral services | were held at two o’clock and burial made in the Union cemetery. Mr. Miller was a member of the Kittan- | ing Lodge of Elks and at the request | of members of that Lodge the Belle- | fonte lodge had charge of the funeral. ——Buy your coffee now before the 3c. per lb. advance.—Gross Bros. 45-1t* . en children, namely: FR Ey State College Boys Sending Boche Machine Gun Home.
