For forty-five years the surviving
members of the gallant 45th regiment
of Civil war veterans have kept in
touch with each other by holding an-
nual reunions but of the gallant band
of almost two thousand men who
fought under the regimental flag dur-
ing its four years in service only
twenty-six answered to the roll call
at the reunion at State College last
Friday. And of these twenty-six
men the eldest (G. W. Loner) is 84
years old and the youngest (George
C. Deter) is 73, while the average
age is 77 years. Realizing the fact
that another year may witness still
further inroads in their ranks by
Father Time they decided at their
business meeting Friday morning to
make this the final official reunion of
the association, and because of that
fact we publish at the head of this
article the honor roll of the twenty-
six grizzled veterans who have weath-
ered the storms of more than fifty-
four years since the final gun was
fired which saved the Union from dis-
ruption and welded it into a nation
that now ranks foremost among the
nations of the world.
Owing to the fact that this was
voted as the final gathering of the
old soldiers there was little of im-
portance transacted at the business
meeting aside from deciding to carry
the old officers as an official head of
the association. A vote of thanks
was also tendered the people of State
College for their splendid entertain-
ment and a vote was extended to W.
H. Fry for the very complete arrange-
ments made for the day’s gathering.
The veterans spent the afternoon
as guests of the people of State Col-
lege on an auto trip through the col-
lege grounds, to Boalsburg where
they were warmly welcomed by
Major Theodore Davis Boal and
shown through his museum of world
war relics, thence by way of Centre
Hall, across Nittany mountain and
back to the College by way of the
western penitentiary.
At six o’clock a banquet was serv-
ed the visiting veterans and their
wives at the Nittany Inn and at eight
o’clock a campfire was held in the old.
chapel. In the absence of Dr. Edwin
Erle Sparks, president of the College,
burgess J. L. Holmes made the ad-
dress of welcome which was respond-
ed to by A. J. Davis, secretary of the
association. Other addresses were
made by Judge H. Walton Mitchell,
of Pittsburgh, president of the board
of trustees, who spoke in behalf of
State College as an educational insti-
tution; Rev. Wilson P. Ard and Clem-
ent Dale Esq., of Bellefonte; J. T.
Marshman and Hon. John Hamilton,
of State College, and as a fitting cli-
max to the evening’s meeting a short
talk by J. C. Armstrong, a young sol-
dier who lost an arm fighting in
France.
Before the old soldiers dispersed
from the College a number of the
veterans agreed that inasmuch as
there will be no reunion of the sur-
vivors next year they will make it
a point, if living, to attend the na-
tional G. A. R. encampment at Atlan-
tic City and at least hold a little get-
together meeting at that time.

Offerings at the Pastime Theatre,
State College.
On page 5 of this issue of the
“Watchman” will be found the an-
nouncement of the Pastime theatre,
State College, of the showing of
Douglass Fairbanks’ newest picture,
“His Majesty, the American,” to be
shown October 10th and 1ith. This
is his first independent production
under the “Big Four,” and exceeds in
expense and preparation anything at-
tempted before by him, as well as be-
ing about twice the length cof his pre-
vious pictures.
The management also announces
early showing of the biggest features
just being released. Among them is
“Broken Blossoms,” D. W. Griffith’s
newest masterpiece, which has only
been shown so far in New York, Phil-
adelphia, Boston, Chicago, Los Ange-
les and San Francisco. It began an
engagement this week in the Du-
quesne theatre, Pittsburgh, and im-
mediately following the Pittsburgh
run it will be presented at State Col-
lege. Top prices of $1.50 to $3.00
have been charged wherever shown,
vet it will be presented at State Col-
lege at popular prices and critics pro-
nounce it the most artistic thing Grif-
fith has ever accomplished.
Armenian-Syrian Relief Director in
Town,
Rev. J. Calvitt Clarke, D. D., direc-
tor of the Harrisburg office for the
Near East Relief committee, was in
Bellefonte yesterday in the interest
of that organization.
Dr. Clarke, who has just returned
from war work in Europe, stated that
conditions in the countries of the
Near East are deplorable. Little
children are to be seen stripping the
flesh from the bodies of animals that
have fallen dead of starvation in the
streets and devouring it raw. Hu-
man flesh is being eaten and one
woman was found with the body of a
baby in her oven roasting, which she
in her hunger-crazed condition intend-
ed eating. People are cracking open
human bones and extracting the mar-
row, which is eagerly devoured.
Many thousands of lives are being
saved by the Near East Relief com-
mittee and the latest reports receiv-
ed from Armenia state that the Brit-
ish and American governments are
protecting the four hundred or more
relief workers of this organization.
About $5,000 has been raised in
Centre county for this cause, by, Miss
Mary Linn, county chairman.

War Savings Division Re-grouped.
At a recent meeting held in Phila-
delphia the war savings division of
the Third Federal district was re-
districted into three groups instead
of four. Group No. 3, of which W.
Harrison Walker, Bellefonte, is chair-
man, was so changed that it now
takes in a tier of counties in the cen-
tre of the State extending from the
Maryland border to the New York
line. Northumberland and Montour
counties were cut off of the group but
five other counties were added, name-
ly, Blair, Bedford, Mifflin, Hunting-
don and Cambria, and in addition to
these the following counties are in-
cluded in the group: Union, Centre,
Clinton, Elk, Tioga, Cameron, Lycom-
ing, McKean, Potter and Clearfield, a
total of fifteen counties. Union coun-
ty still leads in the Eastern district
with a per capita of $3.91, while Cen-
tre is second with $2.09. Now that
the public schools are in session an
extra effort will be made to educate
both teachers and pupils in the real
meaning of the thrift campaign now
being waged in the interest of war
savings stamps and certificates.
Building Operations in Bellefonte.
George A. Beezer broke ground
on Tuesday for a new house he in-
tends building on east Curtin street,
where he purchased two lots from Col.
J. L. Spangler opposite the new resi-
dence of Dr. George P. Bible. Though
he will not start building operations
until spring the plans call for the
first story of stone and the second of
framework.
Wilbur H. Baney broke ground on
Wednesday for a new home on east
Curtin street, on a lot he purchased
adjoining the property he now occu-
pies.
Contractor Benjamin Bradley has
completed the structural work on Ed-
ward Funk’s new bungalow on Curtin
street and on Wednesday started work
on the S. D. Ray home on the same
street. He expects to finish both
houses during the winter so that they
will be ready for occupancy by April
first, next. .
Escaped Prisoner Recaptured and
Re-sentenced.
Irving Voorhees, who escaped from
the western penitentiary at Rockview
on June 12th was recaptured at De-
troit, Mich., the latter part of last
week, brought to Bellefonte on the
1:26 p. m. train on Monday and at
three o’clock the same day was taken
before Judge Quigley and re-sentenc-
ed to serve out his old term and
another term of equal length with his
original term, which was from two
years and nine months to three years,
all of which emphasizes the old saw
that “murder will out,” and shows
how foolish prisoners are to even at-
tempt escape from the penitentiary.
Voorhees was sent up from Erie on
August 1st, 1918, hence had only serv-
ed a little over ten months of his
original term. When he and E. Bow-
man escaped on June 12th they made
their way over Nittany
through Pennsvalley and across the
Seven mountains, finally landing at
Mt. Union. There they separated,

then Altoona, where he was recap-
tured within two weeks. Before sep-

| In these days of high wages and
‘high prices for everything it is in-
i teresting to compare notes with what
our ancestors were paid for work and
what they paid for the necessaries of
! life. In this connection there was ex-
hibited at the Clearfield county fair
two weeks ago an old day book, for-
merly the property of David Wesley
Jones, who operated a sawmill and
store along the pike, near Milesburg,
this county. The book was started
in April, 1820, and contains the ac-
counts of a number of old-time Clear-
fleld county people. According to the
records the wage at that time for a
man was 50 cents a day. Charles
Huston received $1 for “making a
harrow,” and received his pay in
goods from the store. John MeclIn-
tosh must have been an extra good
hand, for he received $4 for five days’
work, the price agreed upon being 80
{ cents a day and to be paid in trade.
Andrew Gregg bought 2205 feet of

White traded fourteen ounces of
feathers and received therefor half a
pound of chocolate, 18% cents; one-
fourth pound tea, (7% cents; two
pounds butter, 25 cents. Jeseph Phil-

GEORGE HOWARD RELEASED ON
PROBATION.
George Howard, who on the night
of September 14th, while employed as
night watchman at the Beatty Motor
company’s garage took out the Buick
car of W. C. Rowe for a little ride
and completely wrecked the same,
was also called before the court on
Monday afternoon for sentence after
he had signified his willingness to
plead guilty. After the court had ex-
plained to him the gravity of his of- |
fence and young Howard had promis-
ed not to do anything of the kind
again he paroled him in the custody
of Mr. Beatty on condition that he
pay over to Mr. Rowe a stipulated
sum every week until he had made
good the damage to his car, and also
pay the costs in the case, Mr. Beatty
agreeing to give him his old job as
night watchman at his garage.
J. Willis Mann, arrested as a va-
grant, was paroled in the custody of
his brother, who agreed to see that
he was properiy cared for.

At 4:15 o'clock the Bellefonte High

heavy expenses incident to the two

This promises to be the most event-

Robbers Loot the Thompson Home.
‘For two years or more the old
Thompson home at Centre Furnace,
for years occupied by Moses Thomp-
son and later by William Thompson
and family, has been closed and sup-
posedly barricaded against all intrud-
ers. Two weeks or more ago mem-
bers of the family went to the house
to take a look through it and were
absolutely astounded to find that the
old family home had been looted from
cellar to attic of practically every-
thing of value it contained that could
conveniently be carried or carted
away, even including some of the
choicest pieces of furniture.
The Thompson home sits back from
the road in a park of tall and over-
hanging trees, the trees and shrub-
bery almost concealing the buildings
from the roadway. The robbers who
despoiled the home gained entrance
thereto through rear windows, and as
the house has been closed for two
years or more, there is hardly any
likelihood of the robbers being traced
and caught. The petty thieving has
probably been done at odd times and
may have heen the work of a number
of people, who just went in and help-
ed themselves to whatever caught
their fancy.

Where Apples are Plentiful.
| Rev. E. J. Dunn and family, of the
| United Evangelical church, returned
{home last week from spending the
i pastor’s vacation on an automobile
| trip to his old home at Martinsville,
| Virginia, with side trips to Winches-
| ter and Berkeley Springs. At the
i latter place they enjoyed the pleasure
lof a dip in the water from the hot
| springs at that place which maintains
a certain temperature the year
around. But what surprised Rev.
Dunn most on his trip was the apple
‘orchards of Shenandoah valley. When
"he left there thirty-five years ago

‘different farms while now thousands '
of acres are devoted to orchards, prin- !

can be judged from the fact that he
| saw as many as ten cars standing on
a railroad siding at one time to be
filled with apples for shipment, and
an almost continuous stream of big
motor trucks hauling the fruit from
the orchards to the cars.
At Martinsville is located one of
the biggest vinegar making plants in
the country. Just what its capacity
is Rev. Dunn did not ascertain but the
fact that a year or two ago they sup-
plied the Howard Heinz company with
2,500 barrels would indicate that it
is rather extensive. A dozen huge

pumping through miles of pipe laid

one of a party of eight men who
formed a company and paid $200,000
for an orchard.
Red Cross Notes.
Chapter Red Cross have completed
the quota of knitting that was as-
signed them, and the same has been
shipped for relief work abroad. We

to make into garments needed for lo-
cal relief this winter. We are sure
that our knitters will be interested
in this work and yarn can be secured
from Mrs. Waddle at any time.
The annual Red Cross drive for
membership will open Sunday, No-
vember 2nd, and close on Tuesday,
November 11th, the first anniversary
of Armistice day. Every person in
this Chapter must take a personal in-
terest in renewing old memberships
and securing new ones, so that we
will not fail to enroll our full quota.
The Red Cross needs the support of
every loyal American in the great re-
construction work it is doing, just as
much as it did with the war work.
The Lauderbach-Zerby compa-
ny, wholesale grocers, have purchas-
ed the Forest Bullock building on
south Water street, now occupied by
the Non-Alco Beverage Co., as a
ware-house. We understand that the
consideration was $3,000.00, and they
are to be given possession on April
1st, next. It is their intention to use
it only to relieve the congestion in
their big ware-house on High street.
Robert Roan closed the deal on
Tuesday evening whereby he purch-

Whiting—Shuey.—A very pretty
home wedding took place at noon on
Wednesday at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. C. C. Shuey, on east Bishop
street, when their daughter, Miss An-
na Mulholland Shuey, was united in
marriage to Mr. Lawrence Derland
Whiting, of Louisville, Ky. Only
members of the immediate families
were present to witness the ceremony
which was performed by Rev. Alex-
ander Scott, pastor of the Methodist
church, the beautiful ring service be-
ing used, and the bride being given in
marriage by her father.
The bride wore a gown of white
georgette trimmed with Chinese lace
and carried a bouquet of salmon roses
and orchids. She was attended by her
sister, Miss Sara Shuey, as maid of
horor, who woro a gown of white
georgette and carried a bouquet of
yellow ragged dahlias. The bride-
groom’s brother, Russell F. Whiting,
officiated best man. The house
decorations consisted of fall flowers
and ferns. Immediately following the
ceremony a wedding breakfast was
served to the bridal party and guests
and at 3:08 o'clock Mr. and Mrs.
Whiting left on a brief wedding trip
before proceeding to Louisville, their
future home.
The bride is the eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Shuey and is a highly
accomplished and splendid young
woman. She was educated in the
