Miss Mary Schad, teacher of French and Latin in the Bellefonte High school, is off duty this week ow- ing to a slight accident sustained on Monday evening, when she fell on the steps at the Rhoads residence on east Linn street, and sprained the liga- ments under her knee. She is getting along so well, however, that she ex- pects to be on duty again next week. One of Governor Brumbaugh’s last official acts, so far as relating to Centre countians is concerned, was the appointment of W. Harrison Walker Esq., as an honorary delegate to the Atlantic Congress of the League of Nations which will assemble in New York on February 5th. It is needless to state that if he is in good health Mr. Walker will be right on time at the opening of the Congress. ——There was received at the Bellefonte fish hatchery the other day a consignment of trout for breeding purposes from the Corry hatchery. All told there were eighteen cans of eight trout in a can or a total of one hundred and forty-four trout. Vhile eight trout seems a small number to carry in one can the trout were from fifteen to eighteen inches in size, pure brook trout, and that is all it would be safe to transport any distance in one can. ——George Kline, of near Houser- ville, had one of his best horses stol- en on Monday night, and he has rea- son to believe that the animal was taken by Elwood Stanley, alias Wil- liam Stanley, a young man whom he had secured in an Altoona home and who had been working for him. The animal taken is black in color and weighs about 1100 pounds. Farmers and horse dealers are asked to be on the lookout for the horse, as well as the thief. ~———When W. P. Seig completed his outing on Fishing creek last summer “he left the door of his camp lodge un- locked and tacked thereon the sign, “Welcome!” which of course, meant ‘that any person who cared to do so could occupy the lodge at their con- venience. In the building he left a good stove and some other furnish- ings, and now it is reported that the lodge has been stripped clean of everything it contained. Some per- son or persons not only carried off the stove but practically everything else movable, and it wouldn’t be surpris- ing if they tackle the house next. The Bellefonte High school basket ball team had one put over on them at Jersey Shore last Saturday night when the High school team of that place simply overwhelmed them by the score of 78 to 13. The Belle- fonte boys have been playing good basket ball all season and had won most, if not all, of their games, and it was not because they fell down at Jersey Shore that they were defeat- ed, but because the team at that place played according to old rules which the Bellefonte boys knew very little about, and in that way they succeeded in administering the crushing defeat. Public Kicks Against Closed Railroad Depots. The order which went into effect last week closing all the depots on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad at five o’clock in the afternoon with the ex- ception of those at Bellefonte, Port Matilda, Milesburg and Howard, has brought forth a general kick from the traveling public at the other depots along this line. In conformity with the order Bald Eagle, Martha, Julian, Unionville, Curtin and Beech Créek depots now close at five o'clock and all passengers for trains after that hour are not only compelled to pay their fare to the conductor but are compelled to wait out in the open for the appearance of the train, whether it is on time or an hour late. The order is in line with the re- trenchment program recently insti- tuted by the government railroad offi- cials. Station agents, as well as oth- er employees of the railroad compa- nies, come under the eight hour law and under the old system of going to work at seven o’clock in the morning and working until after the evening train had passed kept the agents on duty anywhere from ten to twelve hours. This meant considerable in the aggregate and the government of- ficials decided that the end did not justify the means and so has cut out as much of the extra time as possi- ble. The order affects the Bellefonte sta- tion so far as the agents are concern- ed, they being released at five o’clock and the men under them looking after the business from that hour until after the 8:10 train goes out. One of the peculiar situations that develop- ed in Bellefonte from the long hours put in by the agents and men under them, was that while all the em- ployees have been getting their full pay for overtime the agents have not, and the result has been that each pay day the agents received considerably less money than some of the men working under them. Of course their time has all been turned in and in due time they expect to get what is com- ing to them as back pay, but so far it is still coming to them. In the meantime the people along the valley are still kicking over the closed depots, but whether it will re- sult in any change only time will tell. Bellefonte Boys Coming Home. Mrs. James Kane has received word that her son Bernard Kane, who serv- ed with the engineers in France, has arrived in New York and expects to reach home some day this week. A letter received in Bellefonte on Tuesday from Frank Smith, serving with an ordnance detachment in France, stated that one hundred of their company had been picked to come home and among the number was Ivan Walker, son of ex-sheriff and Mrs. W. Miles Walker, of Bellefonte. They were scheduled to leave France on January 15th, and are liable to ar- rive in the States most any day. The arrival home of Edward Shields, son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Shields, is expected most any time, as word has reached Bellefonte that he expected to leave France a week or ten days ago. Mr. Shields, who went to France in the early days of the war as a representative of the White Mo- tor company, kas been in the employ of the French government the past two years and it is quite probable his work is finished and he is returning to the States for good. Local Churches to Extend Aid to France and Belgium. The national council of the Protes- tant churches of America have under- taken the task of raising ten million dollars to help rebuild the ruined churches and parochial schools inthe devastated regions of northern France and Belgium. Twelve of the protes- tant churches in the United States have combined in the movement to raise the ten million dollars. The churches of Bellefonte and Centre county expect to do their part in helping out with the fund. Con- sequently the pastors of the various Reformed churches in the county held a meeting in Bellefonte a few days ago and decided to wage their cam- paign for raising money the first week in February. Every church member in the county should give to- ward this fund as liberally as possi- ble, and the public in general should respond to the appeal. It is money that will be badly needed for a vital- ly important work, and when you are approached for help give what you can. A Tribute to President Wilson. The following is an extract from a letter written to Miss Anne Harris Hoy by her friend, The Honorable Mrs. Bertrand Russell, of London, England. Many Bellefonte people will remember having heard Mrs. Russell speak in the court house in the early days of the war when the Poles were being driven as fugitives into Russia. Mrs. Russell writes: “President Wilson has made a most wonderful impression here, (London), and people are seriously impressed by him. We went with a tall cadet from South Africa to see him arrive at Buckingham palace, and it was a most impressive sight. The cadet called him “The Foch of Politics,” and indeed I think that he and Foch are the two great men brought out by the war. Lloyd George may be the third.” . ——A civil service examination will be held at Coburn on February 15th for the purpose of filling a contem- plated vacancy in the position of fourth-class postmaster at Rebers- burg. The compensation of the post- master at the Rebersburg postoffice during the past year was $482. ——See Douglass Fairbanks in “Arizona,” his latest production, at the Lyric Wednesday. 4-1t eee ——The ladies of the United Breth- ren church cleared $105.50 at their chicken and waffle supper last Thurs- day evening. ——The Paramount Artcraft pic- tures at the Lyric are all anyone can desire. They are among the best pic- tures made today, and the Lyric is the place to see them. — Millheim is without a black- smith and the farmers and business men of that section are offering in- ducements to a good, live artisan in that profession to locate there. roe ——Postmaster Paul O. Brosius, of Lock Haven, has been notified by the Treasury Department to have all the buildings removed from the site for the new federal postoffice at Lock Haven by April 7th, and it is expected that building operations will be be- gun shortly after that date. ——Mrs. William Frank Morrison, of Providence, R. I, has announced the marriage of her daughter, Miss Gertrude Morrison, to Alden Rhodes Meek, on Wednesday, January 15th. The bridegroom is a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Walter Meek, of Harris- burg, but originally of Ferguson township. ——With such high-class pictures on its nightly programs as the Scen- ic is now showing it is only to be ex- pected that the house is crowded nightly. The public these days de- mands the best in motion pictures, as well as everything else, and manager T. Clayton Brown is doing his best to satisfy the demands. ——As predicted by the “Watch- man” several weeks ago Governor Sproul has appointed W. I. Swoope Esq., of Clearfield, one of his depu- ty attorney generals, but the fact that his name was fifth on the list of dep- uties named on Wednesday doesn’t mean that “Billy” will remain a tail- ender by any means. ——Rev. and Mrs. J. D. Hunsinger, of Rebersburg, have announced the engagement of their daughter, Blanche Luella, to Howard Landis Rosenberger, of Pittsburgh, Pa. Miss Hunsinger has for some time past been a clerk in the employ of the Standard Refractories company at Claysburg, while Mr. Rosenberger, who is a graduate of Bucknell Uni- versity, holds a good position in the engineering department of the Penn- sylvania railroad company at Pitts- burgh. ——Miss Margaret Elder, superin- tendent of the Bellefonte hospital, and Elizabeth B. Meek will ad- dress the Woman’s club, Monday even- ing, January 27th, at eight o’clock, in the High school building. Subject: Public health and practical measures for the treatment of influenza. A short business session will precede these talks, and every club member is asked particularly to be present at this meeting, which means the begin- ning of a year of very active club work. —“Watchman” readers in Fergu- son township and elsewhere will be disappointed this week in not finding our usual bright and breezy “Pine Grove Mentions” in the paper, but they’ll have to overlook it this time because our versatile correspondent, Capt. W. H. Fry, has been spending the week in Harrisburg attending the annual meeting of the State Veteri- nary Medical association and a half dozen other associations in which far- mers are naturally interested. And although we do not have it from him we just naturally think he “snook” away in time to be present at the in- auguration of Governor Sproul on Tuesday, also. ——Just at present there is not much doing at the Aviation field in Bellefonte. Everything is now being held up pending the next attempt to inaugurate the aerial mail service be- tween Chicago and New York, and just when this will be made depends | ¢ entirely upon getting the new Hand- ley-Page machines assembled and tested out. It is the general impres- sion, however, that the Postoffice De- partment will have these machines in readiness by the end of another week, or perhaps two, and then the service will be started. Once the service is fully established attention will be giv- en to the building up of the Bellefonte aviation field equal to any in the coun- try. The plans, which have not yet been entirely perfected, include three or four additional hangars, a wireless station, increased landing room and possibly a number of houses for the families of the men in charge at the field. ——-The officers and men of the ma- chine gun company of Bellefonte are loud in their acclaim of the treat- ment received by them while in Har- risburg for the inaugural parade on Tuesday. The company left Belle- fonte on the 8:10 p. m. train Monday evening and when they reached Har- risburg at two o'clock on Tuesday morning they found two big army trucks waiting for them. They were promptly marshalled into the trucks and conveyed to the state arsenal where they were housed on the third floor. As sleeping accommodations each man had prepared for him a cot with spring bottom, a mattress, three blankets and a pillow. In the morn- ing the army trucks again appeared and conveyed them to a hotel for breakfast and regular machine gun trucks hauled them during the entire length of the parade. While they missed their dinner on Tuesday they got a good supper and leaving Har- risburg Tuesday night got to Belle- fonte at 9:20 Wednesday morning. What the Red Cross Has Done and Will Deo. Although the returns from the Christmas roll call of the Red Cross throughout the United States were not what was hoped for, yet consider- ing the fact that what was virtually the end of the war came between the well-laid plans for the roll call and the actual campaign itself, the returns are by no means disappointing. Eighteen of the one hundred and five Red Cross chapters in the Pennsylva- nia-Delaware division have enrolled over one-third of their population, the other chapters being all below this mark. Of these eighteen our own Bellefonte chapter is one, and all hon- or to the committee and other work- ers of the roll call for this result. To date our chapter membership for 1919 is 3095. Surely YOU are included in that number! If not, it is still up to you to join, and join right away. The Chapter has been able to make quite a helpful donation to that worthy institution, the Bellefonte hos- pital, linens to the amount of 74 sheets and 25 towels, left over from the linen shower for the benefit of the Red Cross some time ago. The sheets and towels remaining on hand in De- cember, being no longer needed for Red Cross purposes, headquarters au- thorized the Chapter to turn them over to the local hospital. The Red Cross visiting district nurse is now almost a reality, and within a week there will probably be such a valuable public health official at the disposal of the community. Arrangements are now being perfect- ed with the Bellefonte hospital look- ing to the complete co-operation of that institution and the Red Cross in this important matter. In cases of need, physicians and other social workers in town may call upon the Red Cross to furnish a nurse. This may be done now, if necessary, upon notification to one of the officers of the Chapter. After the meeting of the hospital board this week, a per- manent nurse for this purpose will doubtless be secured, a great boon for Bellefonte and the surrounding coun- try included within the Red Cross chapter. —— = 1919 W. S. S. Campaign. The report of the war savings com- mittee, for the first eleven days of the 1919 campaign, is as follows: Centre county had, for the above period, a per capita of 38 cents, and holds third place in the list of coun- ties of the eastern district of Pennsyl- vania. Clinton county leads with 60 cents per capita, and Cameron county with 47 cents per capita. Mr. E. McLain Watters, of Phila- delphia, has been appointed director of war savings, third federal reserve district, and George E. Lloyd, of Car- lisle, has been appointed district di- rector. The government must raise large sums of money for several years to come, and it must be secured either by borrowing it or by direct taxation. Every dollar raised by borrowing is a step in the direction of reduced tax- es, and remember if you buy stamps you will practically get all your mon- ey back in five years with compound interest, but if you are taxed you will never get it back, although indirectly you will be benefitted. W. HARRISON WALKER, Chairman War Savings Com. for Centre County. of Report of Inspector Weights and Measures. Annual Deemer T. Pearce, of State College, inspector of weights and measures for Centre county, has compiled his annu- al report for the year 1918 in which he details the fact that he inspected and sealed a total of 312 weights and measures, examined and condemned 69 and examined and adjusted 52.

J. Emerick, of the Emerick Transportation company, has just de- livered to the Lock Haven fire depart- ment a new quadruple chemical en- gine and fire truck manufactured by the White Automobile company at an approximate cost of ten thousand dol- lars. In exchange he took the Lock Haven department’s old White chem- ical truck which he has offered to the Bellefonte fire department considera- bly below first cost. The truck will be brought to Bellefonte for inspec- tion, but of course the purchase of the same will be a question for council to wrestle with. oo —- ——Wednesday morning was a bad time for railroading on account of the extremely dense fog. The morning passenger train on the Lewisburg railroad ran down a team and wagon on the crossing at the Union county fair grounds and killed Mr. Miles Bell. Up Bald Eagle valley a fast freight ran into the cabin car of the work train while the latter was tak- ing a siding to allow the freight to pass, demolishing the cabin and in- juring two men. All morning trains w ‘re more than an hour late reaching B._llefonte. -eoe ——A burning chimney at the home of Harry Hassinger, on north Alle- gheny street, shortly after dinner on Wednesday, caused the sounding of the fire alarm but the fire burned out without doing any damage.

The wrecking crew in charge of the work of scrapping the old Central Railroad of Pennsylvania are making rapid progress in their work of de- molishment. Last Saturday the crew had reached ' the crossing at Hecla park and by this time are considerably on this side of that well known place. Just how far they have gone in the opposite direction is not definitely known, but at the present they do not intend going further than Lamar. But the tearing up of the rails is not the only work of scrapping the road that is being done. The Belle- fonte station building, freight ware- house and all the ground connected therewith have been sold, but so far the name of the purchaser has not been divulged. It is known that sev- eral Bellefonte parties were bidding for the buildings. Frank Kern want- ed them as a place to move his laun- dry and establish a larger plant; Har- ry Winton and the State-Centre Elec- tric company also made offers, while W. S. Shelton, of Millheim, had en- vious eyes on them as a good place for a knitting plant, but as none of these people were the purchasers, there is naturally considerable specu- lation as to just who did get them, and for what purpose. Down at Hublersburg John D. Mil- ler purchased the station building and the acre of ground connected there- with. The ground adjoins his farm and will be turned into agricultural purposes and the building he will either utilize in some way or sell the lumber. Noll—MacDonald.—The little god cupid scorns the hardships and vicis- situdes of a world war just as impla- cably as he does the trials and tribu- lations in civil life and so far as known the first Bellefonter to suc- cumb to the wiles of the little god and marry in a foreign land was John Frederick Noll, who has been serving with the U. S. navy at a base in Scot- land. The young sailor was married on December 18th to Miss Isabelle MacDonald, of Inverness, the cere- mony being performed at the Y. M. C. A. hut at Invergordon by the chap- lain, Rev. W. H. Forsythe. Mr. and Mrs. Noll spent a fortnight’s honey- moon at the small town of Elgin, on the Scottish coast. The sailor bridegroom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Noll, of Bellefonte, who entered the service over a year ago. He trained at the Great Lakes naval training station and after being sent abroad was lo- cated at a mine assembling base near Invergordon, Scotland. It is under- stood that he has applied for a dis- charge from the naval service and an- ticipates bringing his bride to this country just as soon as the govern- ment will permit his return. ——Word was received in Belle- fonte last week of the drowning of John Sherlock, the nine year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sherlock, of Josephine, Pa.

Wad- dle, of Bellefonte, and his mother was formerly Miss Mary Kelley, of Cole- ville.
