—From Miss Rebecca Rhoads
comes an-appeal for reading matter,
which should stimulate every one to
greater action in sending overseas
magazines, books, scrap books, or
anything along that line, that would
be of interest to the boys. The war
is over, but there will be a million
and a quarter of our soldiers left in
Europe, and their need of good read-
ing matter is even greater than for
those in action. All packages will
reach Miss Rhoads at her canteen, if
sent in care of Y. M. C. A. Secretary,
via New York.
About eleven o'clock last Fri-!
day night as Mr. and Mrs. John Mec-
Coy were motoring down towards

tempted to pass each other mear the

other they failed to get far encugh

AERO MAIL NEXT WEDNESDAY.
{
18th for Sure.
Postmaster P. H. Gherrity received
== | g telegram from the secend assistant
postmaser general on Wednesday an-
nouncing the fact that the aero mail |
service on the Wilson air route be- |
tween New Yor kand Chicago will
be inaugurated for sure on Wednes-
day of next week, December 18th.
The “Watchman” last week an-
nounced that a big Handley-Page ma- |
chine would fly over the course on
Friday but the trip unfortunately was :
cancelled and the machine did not
come. The service was to have been !
inaugurated on Sunday, the 15th, but !
unforseen circumstances caused a de- |
lay of three days, but the department |
announces that the first trip will be |
made next Wednesday sure, one ma- |
chine going west and another east. |
The exact time that they will land in
Bellefonte is not definitely known but |
the first ought to be here between ten |
and eleven o’clock, and the other one!
about the middle of the afternoon. |
The landing field and hangar at the
Bellefonte station will be in shape by
next Wednesday and everything bein |
readiness for the big event. The post- |
age rate by aero mail will be six cents |
an ounce or fraction thereof, with
sixteen cents. for special delivery.
The Bellefonte postoffice this week re-
ceived a consignment of aero mail
stamps and already quite a number
have been purchased by persons who
will take occasion of the inauguration
of the service to send a message to a
friend in Chicago or New York. The
six cent stamp is orange color and
the sixteen cent green, each bearing
as a central engraving an aeroplane.
The New York-Chicago route has
been laid out in three legs, the first
from New York to Bellefonte, a dis-
tance of 125 miles, with an emergen-
cy station and machine midway at
Lehighton; the second from Bellefonte
to Cleveland, Ohio, a distance of 215
miles, with an emergency station at
Clarion, Pa., eighty-five miles from
Bellefonte; the third from Cleveland
to Chicago, a distance of 323 miles,
with an emergency station at Bryan,
Ohio.
The plan of operation during the
unfavorable winter months contem-
plates the airplanes leaving Chicago
and New York at six o'clock in the
morning, with a capacity of 20,000
letters, and making the trip, includ-
ing all stops, within a period of ten
hours.
Unfortunately the route will be in-
augurated at the worst possible sea-
son of the year, but as important mail
routes must run daily no matter what
the weather conditions the Postoffice
Department saw no good reason for a
delay until spring. The change in
the original route from Lock Haven
to Bellefonte was made to overcome
adverse air currents caused by the
high range of hills in the vicinity of
Mauch Chunk, the slight detour to the
south avoiding these treacherous cur-
cas
Red Cross Membership Drive Will
Start On Monday. :
The Red Cross membership drive
will begin next Monday morning and
continue one week. At this time it
ought not to be necessary to say any-
thing in connection with this fact out-
side ithe simple announcement. If
there was ever a time when the Red
Cross. proved its worth as an organi-
zation it has been during the past
four years. The work’ its representa-
tives have done on the field of battle
alone entitles it to every considera-
tion asked at the hands of the public.
But the service was not confined to
the battlefield but in every camp and
cantonment, at home and abroad, the
Red Cross was present to minister
materal as well as spiritual comfort.
The campaign next week will be for
membership only. The membership
fee is but one dollar and Bellefonte
should meet the call one hundred per
cent. strong. Even though the war
is ended the Red Cross will have work
to do during the next five years and
needs the support of every man, wom-
an and child in the country.
Still Digging for Oil.
In a letter received by the “Watch-
man” from Chauncey (Bill) Stuart
we learn that that gentleman is still
digging for oil. He is now located at |
Dallas, Texas, and his work is in what
is known as the new north central
Texas oil field. He is building a rig
on section 70, block 13 of the Texas |
and Pacific railway company survey !
in Shackelford county, where a num-
ber of good wells have already been
struck. Mr. Stuart says the work is
very expensive, as it costs from forty
to sixty thousand dollars to drill a

well, if a man has fair luck; and if he
hasn’t the luck we presume the cost |
will be very much more. And then if !
it should happen to be a dry well, that
wouldn’t be very lucky, either, and yet
man with such confidence deserves
success and the “Watchman” hopes
that Mr. Stuart will strike a well that
will gush oil fast enough to put him
right up at the top of Easy street and
: from an explosion of gasoline as he
may it never run dry.
—— The “Watchman” omitted to
mention the fact last week that Van
Jodon had given up his position with !
the Lehigh Valley Railroad company |
and returned to Bellefonte to accept |
his old position with the Bellefonte |
Central railroad. He started work on |
Monday morning of last week but was
taken sick with the grip and has been |
confined to his home ever since.

State Road Work Stopped for the
Winter.
On Saturday the State Highway !
Department notified contractor R. B. |
Taylor to stop work on the state road |
on Willowbank street at once, as it
was deemed inexpedient to continue
the work during the winter. But this
will not mean a tie-up of the above |
street during the winter months. Mr.
Taylor has all the brick down out to
the bridge near the Phoenix mill and
a short stretch down from the bor-
ough line east.
This week he has been busy grad- |
ing and filling in alongside of the |
paved portion of the street, and
cleaning up generally, and as soon as |
the bricked street has lain long
enough for the top dressing of con- |
crete to set properly the entire stretch !
will be opened for traffic during the
winter. The road will be completed |
next spring when the weather settles. '

Bellefonte’s Red Cross Campaign.
The big event in town and through- !
out the nation next week, December
16th to 28rd, will andoubtedly be the !
Red Cross Christmas ‘roll ‘call. Theé |
membership of the American Red
Cross should be precisely the number
of men, women and children in Amer-
ica. Let us make our Bellefonte
Chapter’s response to the roll call
unanimous. Let every one of all ages
and conditions wear the button which
will be given for enrollment and let
every house on every street display
the Red Cross service flag, and with
as many small crosses on it as there
are members in the family.
Renewals of membership and new
memberships may be taken out any
time during the week, but the great
effort in Bellefonte will be made on
Wednesday afternoon, December 18th,
from 2 until 5 o’clock. At two o’clock
the church bells of town will ring,
the signal that the oll-over-town can-
vass has started. Be at home, in
your store, office, school or factory;
a Red Cross worker will visit you, |
and before you know it you will have
said “yes” to your name, have paid
your dollar and will be enrolled as an
integral part of this wonderful na-
tion-wide, world-wide organization of
mercy and humanity.

Harry Smith’s Big Barn Burned.
The big barn on the Harry Smith
farm, formerly the W. C. Smeltzer
farm near Nigh bank, was burned to
the ground on Tuesday morning with
all its contents. The latter included
200 bushels of wheat, 500 bushels of
oats, $300 worth of cow feed, all his
hay and fodder and most of his farm
implements, as well as five pigs and
quite a good flock of chickens. His
entire loss is estimated at from $8,
000 to $10,000. He had $1,400 insur-
ance on the barn and some insurance
on his grain and implements but the
exact amount could not be learned.
It is stated that the fire originated

was filling the tank of his automobile
in a small building a short distance
from the barn.
About 5 o'clock Mr. Smith and his
son went to the barn to do the chores.
After getting through Mr. Smith de-
cided to put gasoline in the tank of
his Ford touring car which stood in
the wagon shed, near the barn. It
being early in the morning and still
dark, a lantern was used in the work.
In pouring the gasoline from the can
into the tank some of it was spilled
and the fumes ignited with the flame
of the lantern and in less time than it
takes to tell it there was a tremen-
dous blaze. Fortunately Mr. Smith
escaped injury. ‘He gave the alarm
and the family at once set to work to
liberate the four horses, nine cows and
young cattle that were in the barn.
In a few minutes the barn proper was
a seething mass of flames, and al-
though the neighbors responded it |
was too late to save any of the farm-
ing implements. The barn, implement
shed, straw shed and chicken coop all
went up in smoke. The barn was 50x |

Doings in December Court.
The December term of court con-
vened on Monday with Judge Henry
C. Quigley presiding. Following the
presentation of various motions and
petitions and taking the returns of
the constables the roll of the jurors
was called and any absentees noted.
In his instructions to the grand jury
Judge Quigley told them that they
would be called on to pass upon a pe- :
tition for the setting aside of suffi- |
cient funds from the county treasury
for the purpose of compiling and pub- |
lishing a record of the part Centre !
county took in the great world war. |
He explained that the purpose of the i
movement was the publication of a
mal sum and which would be as accu- |
rate in detail as it is possible to make
it.
The first case taken up was an ac- |
, tion in divorce brought by Windom C. !
' Gramley against his wife, May Gram-
ley, in which a verdict was rendered
in favor of the plaintiff.
In the case of J. S. Condo vs. D. H. |
Shivery, an action to recover damag- |
es for a threshing engine that had
the contention that the engine was
1
i not set level, thus exposing the crown :
sheet and causing the explosion. Ver- |
' dict for the plaintiff in the sum of :
: $554.00.
Paul M. Wert was the defendant in
a Commonwealth charge brought
following a trial of the case the jury
returned a verdict of not guilty but
put two-thirds of the cost on the de-
fendant and one-third on the plaintiff.
Another Commonwealth charge was
brought against Mr. Wert by Cora
Weaver and on this the jury also re-
turned’ a verdict of not guilty and di-
vided the costs evenly between the
plaintiff and defendant.
The case of the Commonwealth vs.
Sephen Fiflick, charged with shoot-
ing and causing the death of Stanley
Patrusky, of Osceola Mills, did not go
to trial, the defendant pleading guil-
ty to involuntary manslaughter. He
not less than three nor more than four
years in the western penitentiary.
Commonwealth vs. Julia Grove and
Hannah Grove, indicted for resisting
an officer serving process; prosecutor,
O. M. Heaton. This case is from
Milesburg and the prosecutor had
been given a warrant to serve on the
first named defendant, which he serv-
ed on the 3rd day of July last, and al-
leges that when he wished her to go
along to the office of the justice of the
peace, she resisted, in which she was
joined by her mother. The defend-
ants denied any resistance and that
they had resisted the officer, but that
the officer was rude and used bad lan-
guage, and that the officer had refus-
ed to take bail for their appearance
and had insisted that he would take
them to jail. The jury retired Wed-
nesday afternoon and on Thursday
morning returned a verdict of guilty.
work on Tuesday afternoon and filed
their report in which’ they said that
they had passed upon seventeen bills
of indictment, found fourteen true
bills and ignored three. They visited
and inspected the public buildings and
found them in good condition except
that the floor in the jail should be re-
paired and the walls and ceilings
white-washed. They also recommend-
ed the building of a fireproof garage
for the sheriff’s use, no less than
twenty feet square, and suggested
that a new lock be put on the front
door of the court house.
In conclusion they stated: “We
further report that the grand jury
unanimously voted that the petition as
sufficient amount of money out of the
county treasury for the preserving,
gathering and making of a reliable
and accurave history of the part that
taken in the great world war be ap-
proved and recommended.” It might
also be added that every member of
the grand jury also signed a petition
endorsing the project. ;
The case against Irvin Gray and his
sons, George and Clyde, was taken up
Yesistiay, too late to report this
week.

' Accurate Reports of Deer Killed
: Wanted by the “Watchman.”
The deer hunting season will close
| tomorrow ( Saturday) and from all re-
: ports hunters have met with better
. luck this season than for some years
i past. Owing to the fact that many
! hunters are still in the mountains it
has been impossible to get anything
| near an accurate count of the number
of deer killed but the “Watchman”
would like to have a report from every
| hunting party for next week’s paper.
i To this end we specially request read-
‘ers of this paper living in different
parts of the county to send us reports
of all the deer killed they know of
. with the name of the hunting party.
‘In this way we will be able to compile
| a fairly accurate list.
Many of the parties mentioned in
last week’s paper have secured addi-
tional deer but the Woodward rod and
. gun club probably got the biggest
one, a buck with fourteen prongs.
This deer has been seen repeatedly in
that neighborhood in past years but
Seemed to bear a charmed life, but
this year it was finally brought to
earth. It weighed a little over two
hundred pounds.
Clarence T. Lemon, of Monessen,
Pa., but a native of Gatesburg, this
county, and who always comes back
for an annual hunt, killed a nine
pronged buck last Friday while hunt-
ing alone on Tussey mountain which
weighed 200 pounds. This is the
record deer killed in that section this
{year oc. oui Tripipan z
. - On Monday while hunters were
| Swarming all over Tussey mountain
two fine bucks came down out of the
woods and literally played in Samuel
Young’s back yard in Ferguson town-
ship. Young George took a shot at
one of them but all it did was give
him the flag and scamper away to the
woods. The same day a big buck
came off of the mountain and pastur-
ed in one of W. E. McWilliams’ fields
close to the buildings. Becoming
frightened it started for the moun-
tains but got caught in a wire fence
and broke its neck. It was found im
J. E. Reed’s lane and the carcass was
prepared and sent to the Bellefonte
hospital. ‘Squire Frank Carson, of
Potters Mills, on Tuesday found the
carcass of a doe in the woods near
that place, and from all indications
the deer had only recently been killed.
It was dressed and sent to the Belle-
fonte hospital, which makes three
deer that institution has gotten this
season. :
Another doe shot by mistake was
found on Tussey mountain early in
the week, but the hunter forgot to tag
it with his name and address and it
is not known who killed it.
The Hess-Homan crowd gave up
their camp in the Shingletown Gap
last Monday because they had gotten
the limit: six fine bucks.
The Kepler crowd is still in Sholl’s
gap near Pennsylvania Furnace and
have two bucks. :
The Modoc party of Ferguson town-
ship, has three deer and a bear. One
of the deer has thirteen points and
was shot by Samuel Mc Hess, while
the bear, one of the largest ever seen
on Tussey mountain was shot by Har-
ry Miller.
