How They Are Regarded by American Army of Occupation. i The “Watchman” is in receipt of a | brief letter from Major H. R. Cooper, | who is now with the headquarters of the 90th division, third army of occu- pation, stationed at Berncastel, Cues, Germany. Writing under date of February 17th he says: “One of the things to be most re- gretted in this war is that each unit didn’t have an “Irwin Cobb” attached to write up, as should have been writ- ten up, the many incidents—grave, gay, humorous and tragic—that were covered in an official dispatch of about four lines. “The army of occupation is waiting —we all want to go home—but not until we ought to; and the “ought to” time hasn’t come around yet. It’s a vey good thing for America as a whole that her army is spending so much time in Germany.” “At first, the sudden transition from trenches, pup-tents and cooties to real beds, warm rooms and regular meals impressed our men, and the Germans were rather felt to be “good people”—better to us than the French. Now our men know better. They are learning, and have learned, that the Hun at home is much the same as he was in the field—a sneaking, lying, contemptible sort of man; ready to take every advantage he can, but more ready to cringe to authority; suave, plausible and very nice to one’s face; but how they hate us, and what they call us, when they think we can’t hear ‘em. “It is my judgment that the army of occupation will go a long way to- wards keeping public opinion in the U.S. A. in the right direction when it gets home. We don’t like the Hun and we never will like em.” ——— Pe Confirmation Received of Death of Bugler Frank B. Crissman. W. Homer Crissman this week re- ceived indisputable confirmation of the death of his son, bugler Frank B. Crissman, in France on October 3rd. The information came in the shape of an official letter from Lieut. Col. Charles C. Pierce, chief quartermaster U. S. A., which is as follows: American Kxpeditionary Forces. Headquarters Services of Supply. Office of the Chief Quartermaster, A. E. I, Graves Registration Service. Bugler rank B. Crissman, Co. A, 103rd Military Police, died October 3rd, 1918. Jurial was made in Central Hospital cem- etery. I'leury-sur-Aire-Meuse, France. CHARLES C. PIERCE, Q. M. C. The above dispels all doubt of Bu- gler Crissman’s fate. notwithstanding the fact that various 1. ters have been ' received in Bellefonte since the date of his death stating that he was still alive. As to the exact way in which he was wounded and the incidents con- nected with his death, they are still unknown, although one story in cir- culation is that Bugler Crissman and several other military police were re- turning to their base after convoying a supply train to the front and it was a stray shell that caught him, inflict- ing the injuries which caused his death within thirty-six hours. COE ren News of ‘the Soldier Boys. Lieut. Claude W. Smith has been in Bellefonte this week packing and ship- ping his household goods to Admiral, Md. Lieut. Smith has been stationed at Camp Meade since his visit home last summer and recently he was giv-- en a commission in the regular army. As he will be stationed at Camp Meade indefinitely he decided to move his household goods there and estab- lish his home near the camp. One Bellefonte soldier boy who has served overseas will get the advantage of a four month’s college course at Oxford. He is Ferguson Parker, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Ross Parker. Re- cently the War Department announc- ed that an opportunity would be giv- en seven thousand soldiers of the over- seas force to take a four month’s course at either the University of Par- is or Oxford, but the young men would be selected from those who have had some college training. The selection was made on the basis of a competitive examination and two thousand men were finally chosen. Among the number was Ferguson Parker, who was in his Senior year at State College when he entered the service. The tuition charged for the four month’s course is $50.00, but the soldiers’ pay goes on. Since going across Ferguson has been attached to Battery D, heavy artillery in the 48th division. Inasmuch as his course at Oxford will run until June 30th, his return home will be rather indefinite. Lieut. John Harper, recently dis- charged from the United States serv- ice, has accepted a good position with the General Electric company and will leave for Schenectady, N. Y. next Monday. coe ——Coming soon to the Lyric thea- tre, Norma Talmadge, the world’s greatest emotional actress in “The Safety Curtain.” 11-1t (The above picture was taken by private Clarence Weaver, of Milesburg, just before private Harnish marched to the ship to sail across the seas). Died at Coblenz, Germany. Mr. and Mrs. George Harnish, of Snow Shoe, have received confirma- tion of the report of the death of their son, private Lloyd J. Harnish, of lo- bar pneumonia, which occurred on De- cember 21st while stationed at Cob- lenz, Germany, with the army of oc- cupation. Mr. and Mrs. Harnish re- ceived a message from the War De- partment a few weeks ago announc- ing their son’s death, but the serial number in the message did not corres- pond with that of private Harnish and they indulged the hope that a mis- take had been made in the name, but now they have received what they can- not help but regard as indisputable proof that it was their son who died. Private Harnish was called for serv- ice in July, 1918. He was one of the contingent of 117 men who were given the big patriotic demonstration on Sunday, July 21st, and who left the next day for Camp Lee, Va. The young man trained there until Sep- tember 15th when he sailed from New York for overseas duty. In France he was assigned to Company K, 28th infantry, First division and although he was not in active service at the front any great length of time, he saw some service and was in the front line when the armistice went into ef- fect on November 11th. But notwith- standing the fact that he died of pneu- monia instead of a Hun bullet he gave his life for his country and his share of the glory is no less than that of the man who died on the battle field. He was buried in a metallic casket in a cemetery at Coblenz, Germany, and his funeral was attended with all the honors of war. Private Harnish was twenty-five years old and is survived by his par- ents and the following brothers and sisters: F. C. Harnish, of ‘Snow Shoe; Merle, at home; Mrs. Mitchell Heaton and Mrs. Thomas Chambers, of Clarence, and Berenice, at home. One sister, Miss Velma Harnish, died in the Altoona hospital of influenza | on December 29th, just eight days after her soldier brother, and without knowing of his death. Private Harnish was a member of the P. O. S. of A., the Red Men and the Lodge of Moose, all of Snow Shoe, and had many friends who mourn his death. Private Ira I. Wolf Dead in France. Mz. and Mrs. C. F. Wolf, of Cole- ville, on Wednesday evening received a telegram from the War Department announcing the death of their son, private Ira I. Wolf, in France on Feb- ruary 22nd, of broncho pneumonia. The young soldier would have been twenty-four years old next September. When in his teens he joined the regu- lar army and served a term of enlist- ment, having seen service at various places in the States as well as in Pan- ama. Histerm of enlistment expired and he returned home in time to be called for service in April, 1918. He left Bellefonte on April 29th and went with a national army contingent to Camp Meade where he trained two months, going over in June. He was at first attached to the 305th Motor Supply company but had evidently been transferred as his last letter home gave his address as “Second Provincial Military Police, 2nd Army.” Whether he was with the army of oc- cupation or doing duty in France is not known. The young soldier is survived by his parents, two brothers and two sisters, namely, Clayton, Leslie, Helen and Susanne, all at home. Pastoral Appointments.

The “Watchman this week will pub- lish the first of a series of four letters written by a former Centre countian who is now in California, and we be- lieve the same will be appreciated by our readers, as they contain incidents and information about life on the Pa- cific coast that are not generally known. The letters were written by A. C. Wolf to his aunt, Mrs. Julia Carner, of Hublersburg, and for rea- sons which will become apparent while perusing the letters, they are publish- ed under their proper dates: Ontario, Cal., Aug. 23, 1917. My Dear Aunt: We are having most delightful weather here now, nice and cool, and have had several frosts in the moun- tains above the ten thousand feet ele- vation, so that we feel the effects of it here in the valley. We have our threshing about done, but haymaking will last three months yet. The peach crop is rushing everybody in this sec- tion just now; the sugar beets are ripe and the sugar factories and re- fineries running full time, while the bean crop is just beginning to come in. One thresher started on the bean crop thi§ week and there are three more to start very soon in this valley. Next month the raisin and grape crops will be ready to pick and from now until the first of January will be a very busy time here. We have three of them employs about one thousand people while the three of them pay out in wages $20,000 a week. The peach- es delivered at the canneries are worth $35 to $45 a ton, according to the size and quality. work in the canneries is done by wom- en and girls. Girls twelve years oid make from $1.00 to $1.25 a day. Young women who have had several years’ experience can earn $20 a week, if they work steady and fast. Wages of $3.00 a day are not unusual for a good girl in a cannery or packing house. For housework girls get a dol- lar a day and board. In fact this is a better country for women than for men, as there is so much work they can do, and do do, at good wages. Girls under sixteen years of age, how- ever, are not allowed to work after school opens, as they must attend school. All school books and supplies are furnished free by the State and where a family lives over two miles from the school house an allowance of five dollars a month is made for each child for transportation to and from school. The lemon crop is short here this year and the average crop is also be- low the ordinary. Lemons are picked when they have attained a certain size, green or ripe. The green ones are put in fifty pound boxes and placed in a tight room. In the room are a number of stoves equipped with large iron pans which are filled with water to which has been added a pound, of sulphur to every ten gallons of wa- ter. The fires are then started and the temperature raised to 94 degrees, being held at that for a period rang- ing from seventy-two to eighty-four hours. This bleaching gives them the right color for marketing. At the end of the bleaching period they are taken out, dried, packed and shipped to mar- ket. (The lemons I sent you were green when picked and you can im- prove them a great deal by putting them in a tight box or can and leav- ing them sweat for a week or ten days. Don’t put them in tin as they will rust tin or metal of any kind). The seedless oranges you get in the eastern markets in March, April, May and June, are ripe when they are picked. They are known as the Wash- ington naval. Most all other kinds of oranges are treated in the same way as lemons. The almond and English walnut are all bleached with sulphur before shipping which gives the shell the light color it has when bought in the stores. Prunes are first dried then given a bath in hot water and glycerine before being packed for shipment, which gives them their black, glossy color. The fig gets a bath in hot salt water before being packed, which makes the skin nice and tender. Dried fruits of all kinds get a treatment of some description be- fore being marketed. Peaches and apricots are sulphured, that is put in a tight room where sulphur is burned for from four to five hours. I almost wonder how it would feel to see the lightning flash and hear the heavy rolls of thunder again. I have scarcely heard or seen anything of the kind in seven years. I have slept un- der two woolen blankets all summer and sometimes it was rather cool with them over me. It is most always cool here at night, with the coolest period about five o’clock in the morning. The warmest period during the day is about two o’clock in the afternoon. It is a bad place for colds in the sum- mer time but one rarely gets a cold in the winter period. California has over 280,000 automo- biles and one seldom sees a team of horses on the road. All the hauling is done with trucks. I am living about five hundred feet from the coast-to- coast highway and on Sundays and holidays the machines pass at the rate of forty a minute. Since the selective service law went into effect there has been very little emigration into California from Mex- ico. Some of our California marines trained at a camp in Pennsylvania, but I have forgotten the name. Butter is now selling here at 52 cents a pound; eggs 45 cents a dozen; potatoes 4 cents a pound and beans 20 cents a pound, with everything else correspondingly high. A. C.
