Bellefonte, Pa., April 18, 1919.
NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.

will move to Bellefonte very soon,
have leased the house on east High
street vacated by Mr. and Mrs. James
Clark.
——The dare devil Tom Mix, in
“Treat Em Rough,” at the Scenic
Saturday matinee and night, in the
most sensational of his plays. See it.
Also the Vod-a-Vil.
——W. Homer Crissman, who has
been with the Bellefonte Central rail-
road ever since it was built, has been
made assistant treasurer of the com-
pany, effective March 15th.
——Drive away all danger of epi-
demic by driving away the dirt about
your home. Cleanliness means health.
Help put Bellefonte in a spick and
span condition by May 10th.
——Owing to advanced age and ill
health H. E. Duck, of Millheim, has
resigned as president of the Farmers’
Mutual Fire Insurance company. His
successor has not yet been chosen.
——The Emerick Motor Bus com-
pany has put another new bus on the
Bellefonte to State College line. Itis
No. 20 and looks more like a street
car than any of the busses in service.
——Sunday will be Easter and
after that date, according to old-time
weather prophets, we ought to have
more seasonable weather, as so far
April has not been a very propitious
month for garden making and farm
work in general.
——The - graduating exercises of
the nurses of the Bellefonte hospital
will be held in the court house, Fri-
day, April 25th, at 8:15 p. m. Mr. H.
A. Davis, of Altoona, will deliver the
commencement address. The public
is cordially invited to attend the exer-
cises.
——The physicians at the hospital
found it necessary last week to re-
move the thumb and fore finger on
the left hand of Mrs. Elizabeth Hull,
who was so badly injured in an acci-
dent at the City bakery a few weeks
ago. They believe, however, that they
will be able to save the balance of her
hand.
——Bellefonte’s general clean-up
will begin Monday morning, May 5th.
If every one would start at once to do
away with all the winter accumula-
tion of rubbish, and all unsightly
places about his property, nothing
would be left for clean-up week, save
the white-washing and painting. Be
a true Bellefonter and do your bit by
doing your duty.
——German guns captured in the
St. Mihiel salient and the battle of the
Argonne, a French “75,” a tank and
armored car, battlefield wireless, etc.,
will be” among the trophies on the
Victory loan train which will tour the
State during the next few weeks in
connection with the big drive. The
train will visit Bellefonte on the
afternoon of April 30th, the exact
hours to be spent here to be announc-
ed later.
Norman Brown, the three-year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Brown, of
State College, was badly burned on
Wednesday of last week on the lower
part of his body and legs. The child
was playing with matches with the
usual result that he set his clothing on
fire and was burned before the flames
could be extinguished. He was
brought to the Bellefonte hospital for
treatment, remaining there until Sat-'
urday when he was taken home.
——The war emergency campaign
conducted by the Reformed churches
in Centre county has been completed
and every church reached its quota.
All but one went “over the top.” The
sum apportioned was $925.00, and
$1,324.00 was raised, this sum being
43 per cent. more than was asked
from Centre county Reformed church-
es. The major portion of this money
will be given for the rebuilding of
churches in France and Belgium.
——The dwelling house on the farm
in Penn township owned by Mrs. H.
J. Kurzenknabe, of Harrisburg, and
occupied by John O. Bower and fami-
ly, caught fire last Thursday after-
noon while carpenters were engaged
in putting on a new roof. Fortunate-
ly the carpenters were on the roof at
the time and managed to extinguish
the flames with a few buckets of wa-
ter well placed. The fire was caused
by sparks from burning the old shin-
gles in the kitchen stove.
——Word has been received in
Bellefonte from Miss Bertha Laurie
that she and Miss Marian Watts have
been granted a six week’s furlough
which they have planned to spend in
a visit home. They will come to the
States with the 42nd (Rainbow) di-
vision, which is expected to sail from
Brest this week and should reach the
United States the latter part of next
week. Just what the plans of the two
ladies are for the future are not defi-
nitely known, but as they are coming
home on a furlough it is presumed
they intend returning to France.
Ambrose Wolf, of Greenbriar,
was brought to Bellefonte last Friday
and lodged in jail by game warden
Charles Batchelor, of Philipsburg, on
the charge of illegal fishing. Several
months ago Wolf and several compan-
ions did a little fishing with throw
nets in the stream west of Coburn.
Information was made against the
men by Harry Wingard, local game
warden at Coburn. Warden Batchelor
went to Coburn last week and placed
the men under arrest. All but Wolf
paid their fines and costs and the lat-
ter refusing to do so was brought to
jail,
THE VICTORY LOAN DRIVE.
Start it With a Rush at the Opening
Next Monday.
The big drive for the Victory loan
will start next Monday morning. The
total bond issue asked by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is $4,500,000,
which will make Centre county’s share
in the neighborhood of $800,000. The
bonds are to be for four years and
will draw 43 per cent. interest, and be
exempt from all ordinary taxes; or
at 33 per cent. will be wholly exempt.
In connection with the opening of
the big drive W. Harrison Walker,
chairman of the publicity committee,
prefers the request that the American
flag be flung to the breeze from every
house and business place and that
they be kept up during the three
weeks the loan campaign will run.
This is a patriotic idea and should be
observed by American citizens every-
where.
The committees in charge have
{ mapped out a campaign of speech-
making for the entire county, the list
of dates, speakers, etc., following this
article. But the success of the cam-
paign should not be left up to the com-
mittees and the men and women who
are volunteering their services in this
line of work. Every man and woman
in the county should feel enough of
thankfulness that the world war is
over to voluntarily buy all the bonds
they can in order to help bring our
boys home from “over there” and
make more secure the fruits of vie- |
tory.
Bonds can be purchased in any
amount from $50 to $10,000, and the
rate of payment has been made so
easy and extended over such a length
of time that it will not be difficult for
any person to meet them. The bonds
will be dated May 20th and begin
bearing interest June 15th. The divi-
dends will be payable semi-annually,
the first one on December 25th, 1919,
and thereafter on June and December
15th of each year until maturity of
the bonds. The campaign will begin
Monday, April 21st, and close May
10th.
In connection with the loan cam-
paign the war loan organization of
the Third Federal district will run a
Liberty loan train through Pennsyl-
vania, stopping at all the principal
towns and cities, the complete an-
nouncement of which is as follows:
Captured German guns from St.
Mihiel, and the Argonne, French
“75's,” a tank and armored car and
the “battlefield wireless” are but a
few of the exhibits of the Victory Lib-
erty loan war train which will tour
Centre county on April 30th. A stop
will be made at Bellefonte.
The tank and armored car will give
demonstrations of their “treat-’em-
rough” style of fighting wherever
they can be unloaded. U. S. marines
will set up their field wireless and call
head§uarteérs at each stop. A corps
of speakers will explain about the
fighting appliances and will talk loan
to the crowds.
One of the largest baggage cars in
service is included in the seven car
train and is loaded with all kinds of
smaller war trophies. They comprise
star-shells, gas masks, grenadines,
small arms and equipment collected
from the most famous battlefields of
the war.
Depth bombs and naval mines are
also included. Among the guns are
German “minnewerfers,” or trench
mortars, a very deadly type of weap-
on. The schedule has been arranged
to give more time for stops than
could be allowed when the last war
train toured the State.

erty Loan of Centre County.

W. HARRISON WALKER,
Chairman Speakers’ Bureau
Victory Liberty Loan Com.
——The U. S. weather man prom-
ised fair weather all this week, but he
missed it amazingly the first half of
the week, at least.
——The Bellefonte High school
base ball team will open its season
Saturday at 3 p. m., on the Hughes
athletic field, having the strong Lock
Haven Normal school team as oppo-
nents. Turn out and help the boys
along.
——George M. Gamble yesterday
afternoon bought Green’s drugstore
at an approximate price of $8,000.
The purchase was made for his son-
in-law, William T. O’Brien, of Snow
Shoe. The store will continue to be
run as Green’s Pharmacy Co., and
was opened for business last evening.
The two clerks there will continue in
their positions and an exprienced
pharmacist will be engaged.
——*“Qur Teddy,” the big picture of
the fighting Roosevelts, will be the
chief attraction at the Scenic next
Monday and Tuesday evenings. If
you have not yet seen this picture
don’t fail to visit the Scenic. Other
big programs will be shown every
evening during the remainder of the
week. In fact you can always be sure
of seeing something good at this pop-
ular moving picture show.
—“Treat Em Rough,” by that
greatest of dare devils, Tom Mix, will
be shown at the Scenic Saturday, mat-
inee and night. Wonderful stuff.
Don’t miss it. Also Spanuth’s Vod-a-
Vil. : 16-1t
——Last Thursday when the alarm
was sounded for the fire at the home
of Howard Casper, on east Curtin
street, the Undine fire company left
their building with the two rear tires
on their Cadillac truck partly down.
The result was they soon went flat
and in front of the G. Murray An-
drews residence on Allegheny street
one of the rims that holds the tire
came off and rolling out the street
struck Dr. Seibert’s Franklin car,
which was standing in front of his
house, right on the nose, knocking
quite a dent in the hood, rolled up
over the hood and cracked the wind-
shield and rolled over the top of the
car and on out the street.
——The Budinger family were
obliged to cut their stay in Florida
short by a few weeks when they re-
ceived the alarming news that a son,
J. Thomas Budinger, was quite ill at
Pompton Lakes, N. J., with diphthe-
ria. The family, including Mr. and
Mrs. Budinger, and their daughters
Sara and Blanche, left St. Petersburg
by train on Friday, arriving in Wash-
ington Sunday morning when they
received word that young Mr. Bud-
inger’s condition was improved and
that they would not be able to see him
on account of the quarantine. They
then went to Philadelphia and spent
a day returning to their Snow Shoe
home on Tuesday. Had it not been
for the illness of their son they would
have remained in Florida until May,
as Mr. Budinger avers that the fish
are now biting fine, and then driven
home in their car.
TWO DAYS CELEBRATION.
| To be Given as Welcome Home for
Returning Soldiers.
The officers elected at the public
meeting held on Tuesday night of last
| week to make preliminary arrange-
ments for a big welcome home of Cen-
tre county’s returning soldiers held a
meeting in the grand jury room on
Monday evening at which time the
organization was enlarged by the ap-
pointment of the following members
of the executive committee by chair-
man H. C. Quigley:
Hon. Harry B. Scott, of Philips-
burg; Major H. Laird Curtin, of Cur-
tin; Ray Smith, of State College;
Robert F. Hunter, Col. W. Fred Rey-
nolds, George R. Meek, Edmund
Blanchard, Hard P. Harris and John
J. Bower, of Bellefonte. In order to
get things in working shape the fol-
lowing committee chairmen were nam-
ed, each man authorized to select his
own committee:
Publicity—George R. Meek.
Amusement—Edmund Blanchard.
Reception—Col. W. Fred Reynolds.
Speakers—J. Laird Holmes.
Invitation—George H. Yarnell.
Finance—J. Will Conley.
Parade—Robert F. Hunter.
Decoration—John J. Bower.
Entertainment—Hard P. Harris.
It was further decided to make the
affair a two day’s gathering, but the
exact dates will probably not be se-
lected until the committee has more
definite knowledge as to just when the
big bulk of the Centre county soldiers
will reach home, as it is especially de-
sired that every man, if possible, can
be here to join in the celebration and
receive from the citizens of Centre
county a more heartfelt welcome
home, if that is possible, than the en-
thusiastic send-offs they were given
when they marched away so bravely
to face the Hun guns.
Tentative plans for the two day’s
celebration include the registration of
soldiers on the morning of the first
day, a parade in the afternoon and a
big reception and dance in the even-
ing. On the second day a street car-
nival, baseball contests and aviation
stunts. This will make two full days
of the kind of a celebration that it
will be worth coming a long distance
to see.
While at this early date it is impos-
sible to estimate how many of Centre
county’s soldiers will be at home by
the time the celebration is held, the
committee is figuring on anywhere
from twelve to fifteen hundred, and it
will naturally tax the hospitality of
the town to take care of them. But
Bellefonte has never yet fallen down
on anything she undertook and she
won't do it this time.
A ee eer:
A Few Good Catches of Trout Made
On Tuesday.
On Monday afternoon quite a num-
ber of Bellefonte fishermen stood on
the pavement along Water street and
watched the trout feeding and the
sight made their eyes sparkle and
their blood course a little swifter
through their veins in anticipation of
what was in store for them on Tues-
day morning, but when that time
came things were different. It rain-
ed during the night and Tuesday
morning it was cold and dismal and
drizzly. However, that did not deter
the enthusiastic fishermen, and many
of them were out at four o’clock in
the - morning ready to whip the
streams with the first streaks of
dawn. But the most of them whip-
ped and whipped in vain, for the trout
were not biting in the morning and
the man who got any of them not only
did a lot of hard work but exercised
his patience to the limit. In the
afternoon the trout became more ac-
tive and there was an hour or two
when they bit quite lively, especially
in that part of Spring creek running
through Bellefonte and more trout
were caught during that period than
| at any other time during the day.
| The biggest catch of the day was
made by Cyril Moerschbacher, who
got 22, measuring from twelve to sev-
enteen inches. T. Clayton Brown got
8, the two largest measuring sixteen
and seventeen inches. Charles F.
Mensch got 12 and Thomas H. Harter
9, both fishing near the old C. R. R.
of Pa. depot, and their twenty-one fish
dressed ten pounds. John Porter Ly-
on got 9 up Spring creek and George
A. Beezer, who was with him, got 2.
Melvin Cherry got 7, measuring fif-
teen inches each. John Cherry got 7.
George R. Meek and W. C. Coxey
tried Spring creek in the morning and
getting only five be. veen them drove
to the Country club house to fish that
stream, but found so many fishermen
ahead of them that they aver they had
literally tramped all the water out of
the stream. A party of four strang-
ers whipped Spring creek in the vi-
cinity of Bellefonte and got 2 while
two other strangers got 3.
W. D. Zerby, Homer P. Barnes,
George H. Knisely and a few others
journeyed to Fishing creek to try
their luck but found the fishing very
poor. In fact it must have been very
poor, as not a man in the party was
willing to tell how few fish they
caught, while some were candid in
admitting that they never had worse
luck, and if they did any telling at all
it would only be a “fish” story.
——The story of Roosevelt with its
drama, comedy action, thrills and
pathos, from the cradle to the grave,
will be told at the Scenic Monday and
Tuesday. Seven reels of history and
real life. 16-1t
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Keller and
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Morris are pre-
paring to leave the Bush house, to go
to their homes on Linn street for the
summer.

—Mr. and Mrs. I. O. Campbell, of Fair-
brook, were Bellefonte visitors on Tuesday,
having motored down to attend to a little
business and do some Easter shopping.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Camp-
bell is no fisherman he could not help but
be attracted by the large number of fish-
ermen lining the banks of every stream he
passed between Fairbrook and Bellefonte,
but he did not notice many trout as the
result of their patient work.
—Having resigned her position as book-
keeper and stenographer in the store of

the streets here Saturday night and drop-
ped into the “Watchman” office to gratify
the lad’s desire to know how a newspaper
is made. Unfortunately everything was at
a stand-still in the mechanical department
and we are hoping that they will come
back some time when the wheels are turn-
ing so we can give them a better idea of
how the work is done. Mr. Yearick has
just started farming on one of his father’s
farms near Jacksonville and while his boy
is hardly big enough to handle a plow
yet, we fancy there are piles of things on
the farm that he can and does do for he
comes of a stock of men who never were
afraid of work and, therefor, have been
highly successful.

man’s brigade, helping to get out the
