Capt. “Dick” Taylor Received Christ-
mas Box Last Week.
Last October Mrs. E. R. Taylor, of
Bellefonte, mailed her husband, Capt.
“Dick” Taylor, a Christmas box ac-
cording to the rules and regulations
of the War Department then in force.
At that time Capt. Taylor was a pris-
oner of war in the hands of the Ger-
mans and confined at Villingen, and
his Christmas box was addressed to
him there, through the channels of
the Red Cross. In the meantime the
armistice was signed on November
11th, all allied prisoners were surren-
dered and among them Capt. Taylor
was returned by way of Switzerland
to France where he joined his old
command and was at once ordered to
a base hospital to recuperate.
He spent several months in the hos-
pital before he was assigned to active
duty, and after that his unit was
moved several times and finally the
Twenty-eighth was ordered home in
April, arriving in the States early in
May. In the meantime Mrs. Taylor's
Christmas box to her husband kept
®ollowing him about but never close
enough to catch up with him until last
week when it was returned to the
sender and also reached the Captain
at his home here. The box had been
securely wrapped and tied and except
for the wear and tear that would nat-
urally show on a package of any kind
that had taken a journey of from
eight to ten thousand miles through
the medium of Uncle Sam’s mail
route it was still in very fair condi-
tion. And on being opened the en-
tire contents of cigarettes, candy and
other articles were found to be in as
good condition as when packed eight
months ago with the single exception
of some crackers that had been in-
cluded in the contents, and they were
literally ground to dust.
It was just one year on Tuesday
since Capt. Taylor was taken prison-
er by the Germans after fighting for
twelve hours, and little did he think
at that time that in twelve months the
war would be over, peace declared,
the terms as dictated by the allies
signed by the Germans and he back
home running for the nomination for
Sheriff of Centre county.
———
Centre County Soldier on Body Guard
of President.
It is impossibie to keep Centre
county out of the limelight and just
now the young man who is reflecting
honor on the place of his nativity is
Harry Gettig, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Gettig, who live on the Jack-
sonville road. The young man was
one of the two hundred and fifty
American soldiers who served as
President Wilson’s body guard from
the time he landed in France until his
return home; in fact coming to the
States with him on the transport
George Washington.
Private Gettig was discharged at
Camp Dix on Monday and reached
home on Tuesday. He was called into
service last summer and trained at
Camp Lee. He went over in August
and was assigned to the 162nd infant-
ry of the 41st division among the re-
placement troops. When the Presi-
dent went to France an order was is-
sued to provide him with a body
guard of 250 soldiers and the captains
of various units were asked to pick
their most efficient and dependable
men for that honor. Private Gettig
was chosen from the unit in which he
was serving and was in constant at-
tendance on the President from the
time he set foot upon French soil un-
til he landed in the United States on
his recent return home.
While the duties of the guard were
not exactly arduous yet it was neces-
sary for every man in the unit to keep
spruced up and in the pink of condi-
tion at all times, and while he don’t
admit it, we wouldn’t be surprised if
private Gettig was about the best
looking soldier in the bunch.

Soldier Dies in France.
Mrs. Ellen Bennett, of Tyrone, last
Friday received a notice from the
War Department announcing the
death of her son, private John Henry
Bennett, in France, “date and cause
of death undetermined.”
The young man was born at State
College on November 6th, 1893, hence
was in his twenty-sixth year. ‘When
he was a boy his parents moved to
Philipsburg and fourteen years ago
the family moved to Tyrone. His
youth and early manhood were spent
there and shortly before the United
States entered the world war he went
to Cleveland, Ohio. He was drawn
for selective service while working in
Cleveland and after a due course of
training was sent to France and as-
signed to Company H, 331st infantry.
He was a member of the First United
Brethren church of Tyrone and of the
Cleveland, Ohio, lodge of Moose.
The young soldier's father died a
few years ago but in addition to his
mother he is survived by two broth-
ers and two sisters, namely: Frank
and Harry Bennett, of Tyrone; Mrs.
William Saxon, of Snow Shoe, and
Mrs. Fred Mowery, of Philipsburg.
Private Bennett carried $10,000 war
risk insurance in favor of his mother.
TE SB Oo
HUNT.—A complication of diseas-
es caused the death of Albert C. Hunt
on Monday, July Tth, at the home of
his uncle, M. L. Jarrard, in Berwick,
Pa. He suffered an attack of influen-
za last fall and instead of recovering
therefrom the disease developed into
a lingering illness which finally caus-
ed his death.
Deceased was born in Bloomsburg
and was one of the first men to en-
list in Company F, Twelfth regiment,
of that place, for service in the Span-
ish-American war. At the close of
that brief struggle he was given an
honorable discharge and returning
home took up the study of electricity
with the result that he became quite
proficient and worked in Centre coun-
ty and various sections of the State,
everywhere being known as an hon-
est, upright citizen, always willing to
give needed assistance of any kind to
his fellowmen. He was a member of
the Odd Fellows Lodge and the Red
Men of Snow Shoe, where he resided
prior to his recent illness.
He is survived by his aged father,
Albert B. Hunt, of Washington, D. C.,
and one half-brother, Frank B. Fel-
lows, of New Kensington, Pa. Im-
pressive funeral services were held on
Thursday of last week by Rev. S. C.
Potinger, of the Holy Trinity Luth-
eran church, of Berwick, who paid
glowing tributes to the life and mem-
ory of the dead. Burial was made in
the Pine Grove cemetery at Berwick,
the Red Men being in charge of the
services at the "grave. The many
floral tributes mutely expressed the
esteem in which the deceased was
held. Tee, HP iy

BUCHER.—Adam Bucher, a for-
mer resident of Ferguson township.
died on Thursday of last week at his
home in Akron, Ohio, following a long
illness with stomach trouble, which
finally developed into cancer, aged
seventy-two years. When a young
man he located at Pine Grove Mills
and learned the trade of a cabinet
maker with Samuel Felty. While liv-
ing at Pine Grove Mills he was mar-
ried to Miss Emma Pifer, of Fergu-
son township. In 1878 he moved to
Altoona and engaged in the lumber-
ing and contracting business in which
he was quite successful. About ten
years ago he moved to Akron, Ohio.
He is survived by his wife and two
daughters. Burial was made in Ak-
ron on Sunday.
il fi
BATES.—John Miles Bates, for
some years past a resident of Clear-
field, died quite suddenly last Friday
while on a visit with his daughter,
Mrs. John Rightnour, at Loveville,
this county. He was born in Philips-
burg and was almost sixty-five years
old. He is survived by his wife and
one son, Albert, of Clearfield. The
remains were taken to Philipsburg
where burial was made on Monday
afternoon.

——Bellefonte’s new borough man-
ager, James D. Seibert, is now dili-
gently on his nev; job and, while it
will take Some time to show the wis-
dom of creating the new office there is
every reason to believe that the bor-
ough manager will earn his salary if
he keeps on the go as he started out.
And there is no doubt about there be-
ing enough things to look after in
keeping the streets and water system
in good shape to keep one man as
busy as a bee all the time. Of course,
it will take time to notice the results
of the efforts put forth, but every new
move must have a beginning and Mr.
Seibert has made his in the right di-
rection by making an inventory of all
implements belonging to the borough
and getting them in such shape that
they can be properly taken care of
and easy to get when needed.
——Conductor George Lentz, who
has had the run on the Lewisburg and
Tyrone passenger train ever since the
retirement of conductor Upton H.
Reamer, is looking for a notice
of his transfer to the Philadelphia
and Erie division with headquarters
in Harrisburg. His run will be be-
tween Harrisburg and Renovo. Inas-
much as the transfer will necessitate
the family leaving Bellefonte the
Lentz home on west High street has
already been offered for sale and itis
understood that station agent Harry
L. Hutchinson has first option on it
with Fred Craft a good second. When
the family leave Bellefonte Miss Ha-
zel Lentz will remain here and con-
tinue her work as a teacher in the
Bellefonte public schools.
Mr. and Mrs. William Bohn, of
Oak Hall, last week received a notice
from the War Department announc-
ing that their son, private Alvin A.
Bohn, had died in France of wounds
received in action in the battle of the
Marne on July 19th, 1918. Last Sep-
tember Mr. and Mrs. Bohn received
word that their son had been wound-
ed in the above battle, degree unde-
termined, and since then they had re-
ceived no further information until
the message last week. The young
soldier’s death is mourned by his par-
ents and three sisters.
The Bellefonte school board
has secured Mrs. Daisy Barnes Hen-
derson, of Philadelphia, as instructor
in commercial training in the Belle-
fonte High school the coming year.
She will succeed Miss Grace Stevens,
who was married recently.
——Tuesday was St. Swithin’s day
and the old saw is rain on that day

rained enough that day it has mot
rained since and old St. Swithin is
now in the same class with Mary

the bill placing the appointment of
mercantile appraisers in the hands of
the Auditor General and taking that

BELLEFONTE CHAUTAUQUA
Will Open Next Thursday to Contin-
ue Seven Days.
The Bellefonte Chautauqua is not
an innovation but a thoroughly tried
out and interesting source of enter-
tainment. It has been given in Belle-
fonte successfully for a number of
years past and the people of the town
and community have full knowledge
of what a mental feast it always has
proved in the past and there is every
reason to believe that this year’s
Chautauqua will be no exception to
the general rule. Everybody who has
attended the Chautauqua in the past
years will want to hear the good
things provided for this year, and the
best way to do this it to buy a season

tainment during the week it will be

JUNIOR CHAUTAUQUANS.
A meeting is called for Saturday
morning, July 19th, at 10 o’clock, at
the High school building, for all who
expect to be Junior Chautauquans
this summer. The junior officers of
last year are especially urged to be
present, but as there are duties and
pleasures for all, all will be needed to
be boosters and workers.
The program for the juniors is es-
pecially fine and the leaders come
with superior recommendations.
~ The local leaders are Misses Over-
ton, Weston, Sebring, Bower, Grauer,
Parker and Taylor.
Road Closed Between Bellefonte and
Axe Mann.
On Wednesday the State Highway
Department closed the road between
Bellefonte and Axe Mann owing to
the rebuilding of the pike into a per-
manent state highway, and put up de-
tour signs for the benefit of travelers.
The latter have the option of two
routes. Coming to Bellefonte from
State College they should keep the
back road over the hill past the Hoy
farm, and into Bellefonte by the
Misses Valentine farm. From Pleas-
ant Gap to Bellefonte travelers
have the option of going around
by the penitentiary and coming
into Bellefonte on the back road
as above detailed or they can keep to
the main road as far as Axe Mann
then go up Irish Hollow and come in-
to Bellefonte over the old turnpike
road past the brick school house.
Just how long the read will be clos-
ed will depend entirely on the force of
workmen the Gaylord International
Engineering and Construction compa-
ny will be able to keep on the job in
building the state highway. It is their
desire and intention to push the work
as fast as possible and as soon as the
stretch between Bellefonte and Axe
Mann is completed it will be opened
for traffic and that portion of the road
between Axe Mann and Pleasant Gap
closed.
Governor Vetoed Bill in Interest of
R. B. Taylor.
Among the bills vetoed on Tuesday
by Governor Sproul was one to allow
R. B. Taylor, the Bellefonte contract-
or, to bring suit against the State to
recover an alleged sum of money due
on a contract for state highway which
he built in Washington county sever-
al years ago. The Governor vetoed
the bill on the ground that it was spe-
cial legislation, and further because
Mr. Taylor has ample redress under
the act of 1811.
The amount at issue is between
twenty and thirty thousand dollars
and Mr. Taylor has been held up for
the same ever since he completed the
contract.
——Comparatively few bass have
been caught on lower Bald Eagle
creek since the opening of the bass
fishing season on July first, but it is
likely on account of inauspicious con-
ditions and not because the bass are
scarcer than usual.
Rentschier — Ward.—Two hundred
guests, including relatives of both the '
bride and groom, and intimate friends,
attended the wedding of Miss Ruth I.
Ward, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Musser Ward, of Akron, Ohio,

——Tyrone has secured the serv-
ices of a paid booster to boost that
town and in a recent issue of the
“Tyronian,” the medium through
which the boosting is done, the paid
booster stated that a greater effort
was to be put forth to secure for Ty-
rone proper recognition in the avia-
tion world and not allow all such fa-
vors to go to small towns on the side
line, or words to that effect, all of
which was no doubt intended as
another knock at Bellefonte. In the
meantime the planes come and go
from Bellefonte with almost clock-
like regularity and if the man who is
to build the big radio station here
will only add a sounding board it is
probable that our neighbors in Tyrone
and Lock Haven will be able to hear
the hum of the motors as the big
birds of the air go whizzing by just
far enough away from those places
that they cannot be seen.

How the Emericks are Enjoying
Their Motor Trip.
The “Watchman” a month ago
told of the auto house in which W. G.
Emerick and family, of this place, are
making their trip to the Pacific coast
and just to show under what condi-
| tions they are traveling and how they
' must be enjoying the trip we publish
the following letters written to a
friend in Bellefonte by one of the
| party:
| Twelve miles from Santa Fe, New
i Mexico, July 10th, 1919.
Well, we are all alive but some-
times pretty bum. News is scarce
{but mud, rain and bridges swept
away by cloudbursts are quite plenti-
‘ful. There have been cloudbursfs
* | along our route most every day for a
week, and we always get there three
| or four hours after it happened and
| find the bridges gone. Yesterday we
| traveled forty-one miles and crossed
{two creeks where the bridges had
| been swept away. They were about
| the width of our yard (50 feet) and
| one had water in it while the other
{was dry. During the cloudbursts
| they are raging torrents but four or
| five hours later the water is all gone.
We were stuck two hours in the
sand in one creek but managed to get
out ourselves. That was about six
' miles from where we had dinner yes-
| terday. Last evening we came to a
creek washed so deep we could
‘have tumbled three big busses into
the hole, so we camped for the night
right in the road near the washout, as
there are no trees around here.
It is now eleven o’clock and we are
on our journey. We had to goa half
and across the creek. Now we are in
the sand until the differential rests on
the sand and rock so we are backing
the house for a new start. We have
been here about an hour. It is awful
traveling but the people tell us that
| we are about over the worst roads.
Hope so, at least. We all look like
| Mexicans but Paul and Annie, they
are burned red.
As for getting fat, we eat enough,
but the bumps shake all the fat off.
We are all well as usual. One day
we traveled 165 miles and all along
the road with the exception of ten or
fifteen miles through villages and
towns it was nothing but wheat fields
—wheat as far as the eye could see
on each side of the road. We have
seen some corn but not very much.
Albuquerque, N. M., July 11.
We started yesterday noon at ten
o’clock but stuck in the sand in the
river six hours. There: were four
bridges out from the cloudbursts just
ahead of us. Hope we don’t get into
any. It is now 11:20. We are getting
ice then going to the postoffice and in-
tend doing a little shopping.
We have only had one meal at a
restaurant so far, and it cost $4.00 for
six people, so we eat our own grub.
We have eaten in the car only about
a dozen times on account of rain.
Other times we ate outside in the
road, alongside the car or behind it.
We sleep fine. No one stands guard,
and everybody we have met so far
has been civilized. Sometimes a cat
or a pig strolls around during the
night, but nothing larger or more fe-
rocious. Now we are getting gas and
soon will be on our journey again, so
good bye.
fr SN rn emt
the fact that raspberries and huckle-
berries are reported as unusually
plentiful this year few of them are
being offered for sale in the Belle-
fonte markets? There might be some
cause for the reason assigned by some
that the berries are going to waste
because of the lack of pickers, but
this is not the true reason, because
dozens and dozens of crates are ship-
ped through Bellefonte to Altoona,
Johnstown and other places. Most of
the berries, especially ' huckleberries,
are shipped from Coburn and are
picked on the mountains in that vicin-
ity by men, women and children. Just
what the pickers are paid per quart
is not definitely known but it is stated
that the sum is sufficient for them to
make good money at it. Huckleber-
ries are reported quite plentiful on
the Bald Eagle mountain but there
are no pickers and consequently none
are brought into Bellefonte for sale.

1919, will be held in Smull’s grove,
Rebersburg, on August 20th.
The ladies of the Methodist

——The Bellefonte machine gun
unit in command of First Lieut. Roy
Grove left Bellefonte about ten o’clock
last Friday morning for the ten day’s
mid-summer encampment at Mt. Gret-
na. They traveled on their four ma-
chine gun trucks and one big covered
| truck for their troop equipment and
commissary. They anticipated reach-
ing Mt. Gretna some time Friday
evening.
——Both Mrs. Maize E. Brouse and
Mrs. Caroline Gilmour have filed nom-
ination papers, both Democrat and
' Republican, as candidates for another
| term as school directors in Bellefonte.
| Both ladies have served eight years
| on the school board and the fact that
i not only the other members of the
! board but everybody connected with
| the borough schools are anxious to
have them renominated and elected it
is evidence that they have made good
in that office,and this is a point the
voters should carefully consider.
