Demorralic Wald, Bellefonte, Pa., April 11, 1919. Country Correspondence Correspondents. Items of Interest Dished up for the Delectation of “Watchman” Read- ers by a Corps of Gifted ORVISTON. Mrs. Maines Bowes has been some- what under the weather but is im- proving and is able to be out once more. Hensyl Young added to his stock a fine cow, and now with his hunting dogs and cows he can make some showing. Mr. and Mrs. Garland Patterson and daughter Monta have returned from a visit to Mr. Patterson’s par- ents at Philipsburg. Mrs. William Heverly, of Romola, visited old friends and former neigh- bors last Tuesday. All were glad to see her and hope she will come again. George Page, of Blanchard, is vis- iting his son, C.B. Page, of this place, and incidentally calling on his Orviston friends, who are all glad to see him again. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Watson, of the lower works, have moved to Holt’s Hollow. Their Orviston friends were sorry to lose them, but wish them all sorts of good luck in their new home. William A. Walker paid a visit to his farm at Port Matilda. He reports everything o. k. and anticipates a good year. He certainly deserves success as he has worked very hard to get a nice home for his interesting little family. Mrs. Ward Keller and children, Har- ry and Helen, are staying until after Easter with Mrs. Keller's mother, Mrs. William Heverly, at Romola. The change, it is to be hoped, will do her good, as she has been failing in health steadily ever since she had in- fluenza last fall. Mr. and Mrs. Merrill Weaver and children, Earl and Louetta, took a trip in their Saxon car, leaving Or- viston Saturday afternoon and spend- ing Sunday among their relatives in different places, returning home Tuesday morning. During their ab- sence they purchased a fine young cow and calf. Gilbert L. Gillespie had the misfor- tune to lose a fine cow recently. It seemed the poor creature contracted a heavy cold, and in spite of kind care and medical treatment she died. As Gilbert has a family of little ones the loss of his cow was no small thing. He has purchased another, and we all wish him better luck with it. Hugh Engel has returned from a visit to his former home, Williams- port, and among his wife's relatives in West Virginia. Report says he contemplates removing to Philadel- phia, where he has obtained a new situation. His brother, Jack W. En- gel, came home with him. Jack is home on a furlough from the U. S. navy. Mrs. Etta Nelson and little nephew, Andrew D. Shearer, are visiting friends and relatives in Orviston. Mrs. Nelson has been very despond- ent since the death of her husband, Archie Nelson, and her friends thought it best that she should take a rest and try and recover from her long siege of nursing during her hus- band’s last illness. John Rhodes and Miss Rena Emen- hizer, of the lower works, were mar- ried Friday evening by Rev. Walter Merrick. The bridegroom is a popu- lar young man, of good habits and a steady, industrious worker. The bride is one of Orviston’s nice little girls, popular and with a very pleas- ing personality. Both young people are well known to the writer, who is very fond of them, and wishes them all the happiness this life affords, and that their lives may have just enough Shadow to soften the glow of the sun- shine.

Deer will be trapped by State game protectors in Clearfield and other cen- tral counties to be placed in preserves in various other sections of the State. This work is now under way under direction of Field Superintendent Kelly, who has been looking up the number of animals. The State bought a number of deer for the Dauphin pre- serve fromNorth Carolina and is after some in Michigan. It is the intention to trap others in this State and dis- tribute them to the preserves this winter. Work on new preserves, especially in the western part of the State, will go forward in the spring when it is hoped to have legislative authority to buy land outright. Tracts of from 2500 to 4000 acres are desirable, says the officials. Thus far fully 8000 pheasants have been distributed throughout the State, some having been liberated weeks ago, and they are reported doing well. State officials have hopes of obtain- ing quail from Mexico early and they will be ordered in when conditions are right. Places where they will be lib- erated are being discussed. A Wise Child. Little Annie had been having trou- ble with her lessons, and had turned for assistance to her big brother. He did the sums for her, handed her the paper and resumed his reading. She was soon back at his side, however, and he inquired: “What’s the matter; aren’t they all right 7” “Oh, yes, indeed.

Thousands of returning heroes at Camp Dix are lamenting a war De- partment order which, by stripping them of their division insignia, robs them of their identity with the organ- ization in service with which a large percentage, now in the base hospital, convalescent centre, or casual comp- anies, gave all but life itself. The order is causing widespread resentment among the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York veterans affected as it forbids the use of the insignia to all overseas officers and men, except those returning with their original units, thereby divorcing from proud associa- tions the men detached because of wounds and now returning in casual outfits. No explanation of military value of the unpopular order has been offered by the War Department and many officers believe that if military chiefs were aware of the sentiment of the re- turning armies there would be an im- mediate recall as far as the soldiers listed for early discharge are con- cerned. The portion of the order that requires officers and enlisted men from overseas who are assigned to permanent camp organization from wearing an insignia that would be out of place in their new positions is understoed as a reasonable regula- tion, but no reason has been offered for depriving the patients in the base hos- pitals and the convalescents in camps of their insignia. Keystone Division veterans, of whom there are many now at Camp Dix, are especially dissatisfied with the regulation, which requires them to drop the red keystone worn on the shoulder. The men still with the di- vision are allowed to retain the in- signia, however, and to wear it until they are discharged. The casuals feel that the order is particularly unjust in that it operates only against the men who were wounded so badly that they could not go back to their division. For months, as officers point out, the army made a man’s love and loyalty for his division a big factor in creating morale and they fear something of the opposite effect from an order that takes from a veter- an the privilege of displaying before the world the badge of the division in which he displayed this even to the shedding of his blood. The Government will purchase out- right, instead of continuing the pres- ent leases, theland occupied by the reservation, in converting Camp Dix into a permanent army post, orders received at headquarters from the War Department, direct- ing General Scott to appoint a board, composed of himself, as commandant, and two officers, to recommend the areas that will be needed. The land desired will later be assessed by an impartial board and purchased from the owners. The land on which the camp is lo- cated was in the centre of a rich farm- ing and dairy belt when taken over by the Government for military uses. By purchasing the land outright the Government will avoid heavy damage claims in addition to future leasing costs. Approximately 35 big farms made up the present camp area, and putting this land back into condition for agricuiture, even had the War De- partment decided to abandon the camp, would have been a costly under- taking. Most of the former owners and tenants are said to have long ago given up the idea of ever returning to their old farms, and many have pur- chased and are operating farms in other parts of the State.

A truthful statement of a Belle- fonte citizen, given in his own words, should convince the most skeptical about the merits of Doan’s Kidney Pills. If you suffer from backache, nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary disorders or any form of kidney ills, use a tested kidney medicine. A Bellefonte citizen tells of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Could you demand more convincing proof of merit? M. H. Daley, railroad man, 213 E. Lamb St., Bellefonte, says: “My back and kidneys were in a very ser- ious condition, when I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They gave me great benefit and I was more than pleased with the results. I recom- mend Doan’s Kidney Pills whenever I have an opportunity.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t sim- ply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Daley had.

The taking of the 1920 federal cen- sus will occupy the attention of the census bureau for some time to come and, already, the machinery has been started that will count Uncle Sam’s sons and daughters early next year. The task will not be a small one for the reason that Uncle Sam wants to know more than the mere number of people in his realm. In order to accomplish the task, a supervisor for each congressional dis- trict will be named and he will have a corps of assistants which means that thousands of men and women will be needed for several months to accomp- lish the task. This army of enumer- ators will likely be selected through the Civil Service commission. A list of twenty-one questions has been prepared which must be answered by the people of the country. When finally completed, the answers will furnish some interesting information and will doubtless show a remarkable growth during the past ten years. Profit from One Pig, $587. Ample proof that pig clubs pay is contained in reports being received continually by the United States De- partment of agriculture from club leaders. One report recently received tells of a Tennessee boy who, in May, 1918, invested $50 in a pure-bred gilt, and now figures his profits at $587.35. She farrowed seven pigs part of which the boy sold for $133. With this money he purchased a boar of excell- ent breeding, which he exhibited at the East Tennessee Division Fair, win- ning the grand championship of the breed over all exhibits. He won $87 in prizes, $45 of it in competition with experienced farmers. His animals are now valued at $525. This, with the money from sales and prize winnings, amounts to $745, from which he de- ducts $157.65 for feed and care, leav- ing a profit of $587.35. Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

INTERESTING STORY OF HIS RE- COVERY. “I. G. Johnson is my name and I live at Brookfield, Pa., R. F. D. Yes, I am a farmer, the most independent occupation on earth, but it takes good health back of it. I am going to tell you about some of my health problems, that is the ones I had. A year ago I had stomach, heart, kid- ney and liver trouble. I had been ! troubled for six long years and Ihad doctor after doctor. None, not even the best I could find, could help me, although they helped others. I took medicine after medicine, still I did not improve. My wife would have to rub my back before I could get out of bed mornings. With no appetite and falling away in weight I was misera- ble. It is now a year since I took Goldine; my wife no longer has to aid me to get up mornings. I eat good, and I sleep fine, in fact I feel just great. To top it all off I gained eighteen pounds. If any one wants an argument just let them tell me Goldine is no good.” Goldine is for sale by Pharmacy. 64-1 Green’s More Cheerful Name Suggested.
