twenty-five thousand dollars.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Samael DeLallo Killed Instantly in
Stone Quarry.
| Shortly after he went to work on
2 young Italian workman, was crush-
‘ed to death by the fall of a rock in
| Lime and Stone company. Workmen
had put off several blasts early in the
! morning and all the loosened rock
tumbled into the quarry with the ex-
ception of one big stone which hung
on the side of the ledge. The men
had been cautioned not to go under it
until it could be dislodged and
a watchman kept his eye on it to give
warning if it fell. The big stone
finally tumbled and warning was
promptly given. Young DeLallo, with
| others, started to run but the rock
tumbled out of its natural course and
caught him, crushing his head and al-
most severing his right forearm.
Death was instantaneous.
The unfortunate young man was a
. son of Mr. and Mrs. Nick DeLallo and
Gray have purchased the George E.
was only seventeen years old. He was
a bright and energetic lad and for a
| year or more had charge of the shoe-
shining chairs in Ruhl’s barber shop.
He quit his work there early in the
summer to go to work in the stone
quarry in order to get bigger wages,
and his place at the shoe-shining
stand has since been filled by a
younger brother. In addition to his
parents he is survived by quite a
number of brothers and sisters, an
older brother, Peter DeLallo, having
seen service in France, going out in
1917 with old Troop L and serving
throughout the war.
Funeral services will be held in the
Catholic church at ten o’clock this

Organizing Campaign to Sell Red
Cross Seals.
Mr. George H. Craze, of Camp Hill,
Cumberland county, has been appoint-
ed district organizer for ceniral Penn-
sylvania in the Red Cross seal cam-
paign of 1919. Mr. Craze will soon
visit the different counties in this sec-
tion, including Centre, to confer with
the men and women interested in the
tuberculosis fight and the seal sale. ®
The Pennsylvania Society for the
Prevention of Tuberculosis, which is
directing the Red Cross Seal cam-
paign, is planning much greater work
for next year to improve the public
health. The program calls for a more
comprehensive health educational
ty nursing plan and enrolling more
pupils in the modern health crusade.
This work is financed largely by the
sale of Red Cross seals. To make this
extension work it will be necessary to
sell more seals this fall than any year
before.
THIRD RED CROSS ROLL CALL.
‘With the end of the war the major-
ity of the people apparently thought
the work of the Red Cross was accom-
plished. Most of them know little of
the gigantic peace program which has
been laid out—which will take not a
! year or a decade, but which contem-
plates a perpetual effort towards the ;
betterment of the American people.
The. principal features of the peace
program as thus far outlined (and
this is only the beginning of the pos-
sibilities for the good of the Ameri-
can Red Cross) -are as follows:
(1) A nation-wide activity for the
promotion of the public health.
(2) A vigorous campaign for the
extension of the country’s nursing ve-
sources.
(3) Extension of the Red Cross
home service.
(4) Greatly increased junior ac-
tivities.
(5) Extension of the facilities for
disaster and emergency relief.
(6) Relief measures for the vic-
tims of the war, both here and over-
seas.
(7) First aid instruction.
The time of this roll call is from
November 2nd to 11th. Supplies are
now being sent out from the Belle”
fonte Chapter to all their auxiliaries.
In order to accomplish our share of
the work in this great undertaking it
is necessary for all the old workers
and as many new ones as possible to
take part in this Roll Call.
It is requested that all the minis-
ters of the county preach sermons on
Sundays, November 2nd and 9th, re-
garding this matter.
Any one desiring information re-
garding the Roll Call can secure same
by addressing I. L. Harvey, Roll Call
chairman.
The Bon Mot is Open.
On Tuesday Bellefonte’s new con-
fectionery, The Bon Mot, cpened for
business. It is the place on High
street which the Gregory Bros. for-
merly conducted under the name of
Candyland. Since passing into the
hands of Caldwell and Osmer it has
undergone a thorough renovation so
that now it is more attractive than
ever.
Cleanliness and daintiness of the
service of the very best confections
and drinks are the outstanding fea-
tures of The Bon Mot and they are
going to be maintained. They are
making their own cream and, having
sampled it, we know that it is excel-
lent.
While everybody is welcome at The
Bon Mot it is to be exclusive in the
respect that it is to be a place where
the most fastidious can go without
fear of offense, either to taste or
sense.
Bellefonte can have a silk mill
if a lot in the town, 60 or 756x200 feet
can be procured for the buildings. If
you know of a lot of such dimensions
that could be bought reasonably ad-
vise this office.

——J. Linn Blackford, who a little
over a year ago leased the Gamble
' theatre at Huntingdon and has since
been operating an up-to-date motion
picture show in that town, has been
: wonderfully successful and plans are
now being made for remodeling the
theatre early next spring and making
it one of the most modern picture
houses in central Pennsylvania.
Bellefonte friends of Mr. Blackford
are glad to know of his success and
wish him continued prosperity.
— In its biographical sketch of D.
Wagner Geiss, last week, the “Watch-
man” inadvertently put him as the
Democratic candidate for Register,
when it should have been Recorder.
This slight slip, however, will not in-
terfere in any way with his candida-
cy, as all his friends know the office
he is after and his name will natural-
ly appear in the proper place on the
ballots on election day. This ex-
planation is made, however, in justice
to Mr. Geiss and for the benefit of
the voters who have not kept posted
as to the makeup of the party ticket.
— Pennsylvania day at State Col-
lege this year will be a two day event.

a big athletic mass meeting will be
held which will be followed by danc-
ing at the University club and var-
ious fraternities. Saturday morning
there will be a review of the College
cadets by a regular army officer and
in the afternoon the annual football
| game between Lehigh and Penn State.
Saturday evening the glee club: will
give a concert in the auditorium.
——The Bellefonte Camp of the
American Legion has secured Lieut.
R. D. Coble, formerly of the French
aviation service, to give his illustrat-
ed lecture entitled “Paris to Versail-
les” in Bellefonte on Wednesday even-
ing, October 29th. Over one hundred
scenes will be shown of historic Paris,
bombardments, floods, President Wil-
son’s reception, the peace conference
and the one hundred million dollar
palace at Versailles. The proceeds of
the lecture will be for the benefit of
the American Legion camp. The lieu-
tenant is reputed to be a very graph-

——Work is progressing slowly on
| the big hydrating plant of the Amer-
ican Lime & Stone company which is
i being erected on the old glass works
!meadow. The scarcity of labor
and delays in securing the necessary
| structural steel are causes for the
| slow: progress of the work. Officials
of the. company estimate that ~ithe
plant will not be completed before
May or June of next year, but when
i once finished and equipped it will be
| the biggest and best plant of its kind
in the country. All the machinery
will ‘be operated by electricity and
| the entire plant has been planned with
an eye to the economy of space and
labor. Once it is in operation the
company will be able to turn out
three hundred barrels of hydrated
lime as easily as they now turn out
twenty to thirty barrels in their pres-
ent plant.
——Just about noontime on Sunday
Charley Monsell, who works for the
American Lime & Stone company,
driving a Ford car, had a narrow es-
cape from going into Spring creek
over the high wall opposite the
“Watchman” office, and the only thing
that saved him was the stability = of
the iron guard rail. With a broken
steering gear he was being towed
down Hight street and instead of
swinging to the right around the
dummy policeman cut the corner
sharp at the Bush Arcade. Then he
failed to make the turn and kept on
going onto the pavement and against
the guard rail with such force that
one of the iron posts was broken off
and two of the flagstones of the pave-
ment broken where the posts were
fastened while the lower guard rail
was bent and broken apart at one of
the joints. Fortunately no one in the
car was seriously injured and when
the machine was gotten back onto the
road it was towed away as if nothing
had happened.
——Mr. and Mrs. Eben Bower of
Bellefonte, left Aaronsburg last Sat-
urday morning to motor to Woodward
to attend the funeral of the late
Thomas E. Smith. A mile or so be-
low Aaronsburg something went
wrong with the mechanism of their
car and they were held up on their
trip. Going to a farm house Mr.
Bower telephoned to Aaronsburg and
asked J. Frank Smith, who was also
on his way to the funeral, to pick
them up and he did so. But they
hadn’t gone very far when they met a
big touring car coming this way. The
road was wet and slippery and in at-
tempting to turn out both Mr. Smith’s
car and the touring car skidded and
the driver of the latter, afraid of get-
ting into a deep ditch alongside of
the road, turned back to the roadway
a little too soon, caught one of the
wheels of Mr. Smith’s car and ripped
out every spoke in it. Shortly after
the accident happened a bus load of
college students from Bucknell on
their way to State College happened
along and they stopped, helped get
the wrecked car to the side of the
road and the students waited by the
roadside while the driver took Mr.
Smith and the occupants of the Bow-
er car about a mile down the road to
Woodward, from where the funeral
was held.

defeated the Hunters Slow in Taking Out Licenses.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
bear season came in on Wednesday
morning up to Tuesday noon only
1203 hunters’ licenses had been
granted by County Treasurer David
Chambers. Considering the fact that
the squirrel and pheasant season will
open next Monday hunters are slow in
taking out a license, as in former
years the number generally ran up to
two thousand and over at the open-
ing of the small game season. There
is every likelihood, however, that
there will be a big rush for licenses
today and tomorrow.
Last year a total of over 3,200 li-
censes were taken out in Centre coun-
ty by the opening of deer hunting
season, but that date is still six weeks
off. And in that number were not in-
cluded any of the thousand or more
young men of Centre county who
were over in France hunting bigger
game. And strange as it may seem,
comparatively few of these young
men are now taking out license to
hunt game in this county. Of course,
a few have done so, but the big ma-
jority have so far shown no inclina-
tion to follow the trail this fall, not-
withstanding the fact that quite a
number of them proved themselves
pretty good shots while hunting in
the Argonne forest in France just
about a year ago. '
But whether the young ex-soldiers
go out or not, next Monday, it is al-
together likely that the woods will be
full of hunters, anyway, as the one
year closed season on pheasants has
resulted in a considerable increase in
these game birds, according to re-
ports. In fact one old-time Belle-
fonte hunter, who very rarely goes
out on the opening day, has confided
to the “Watchman” editor the fact
that he has a nice place picked out
for Monday morning where pheasants
are quite plentiful and he is going
out to get some of them—if he can.
Sale of Empire Lime Company.
The Empire Lime company was or-
ganized . some years ago by Conrad
Miller and John Mignot and conducted
operations east of Bellefonte along
the Jacksonville road. Mr. Miller
was in charge of the same and some
time ago Mr. Mignot became dissat-
isfied with the management and insti-
tuted proceedings in equity to enforce
some kind of an accounting and set-
tlement. Testimony was heard in the
case and this week the court filed a
decree in which he ordered the sale
lic and fluent talker and everybody : of the undivided one-half interest in
the company to take place in the pro-
thonotary’s office on Saturday, Octo-
ber 25th, at 10 o’clock a. m. Prothon-
otary David R. Formean has been
delegated as auctioneer and the bid-
ders are limited to Mr. Miller and Mr.
Mignot. They are the only ones priv-
iteged to bid and buy the interest to
be sold. The terms will be ten per
cent. of the purchase money on day of
sale and the balance within twenty
days. On. failure of the successful
bidder to meet the requirement of the
terms the prothonotary is then direct-
ed to close the sale with the next
highest bidder.
Some Changes.
Judge and Mrs. Ellis L. Orvis, wh
have been living at the Bush house
for several years, are having a heat
plant installed in their home on Linn
street, in anticipation of occupying it

Mrs. Harvey and her two children,
also at the Bush house at present,
will go with Mr. and Mrs. Orvis when
they return to their own home.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Morris
and their daughter, Miss Elizabeth,

Broken Blossoms.
Regarding “Broken Blossoms,”
which will be shown at the Pastime
theatre, State College, October 31st
and November 1st, the New York
Tribune says:
It is the most beautiful motion pic-
ture we ever have seen or ever expect
to see. When it was over, we wanted
to rush up to every one we met and
ery:
it?” If we were a director we should
give up all idea of ever trying to be
original, and spend the rest of our
time trying to make something as
nearly as possible like this wonderful,
fragile thing that Mr. Griffith has
done. For the last two years we have
seen at least one picture a day, yet
with “Broken Blossoms” we sat on
the edge of our seat, one hand grasp-
ing the arm, the other crushing a wet
handkerchief, and trembled and grew
hysterical over what we saw before
us.
Let’s Go!
“Let's Go” will be the attraction at
the opera house Friday, October 17th.
It takes two car loads of scenery,
wonderful lighting effect and an aug-
mented orchestra to tell the story of
the play. The lyrics by Chas. McDon-
ald and score by Edgar Vinal are said
to include many rare gems of melody
and several jazz classics. The cast is
headed by Gertrude Hutcheson, known
as one of America’s most dainty pri-
ma donnas, and she is surrounded by
a whole seminary of beautiful shape-
ly girls. In the big scene in the
“Beauty Shop” these same girls are
seen in some of the latest Parisian
models, and costumes that have cost
a-fortune.

publish the following, which appeared
first in the “Watchman” of October
| 8rd:
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Sciartino, near the old glass works,
was the scene of a big wedding feast
ion Sunday night given in honor of
i the marriage of Mr. Sciartino’s sister,
: Miss Marie Sciartino, to Joseph Ros-
si. the wedding having taken place
“tv-o weeks previous in Williamsport.
i Between eighty and one hundred in-
vied guests were present at the din-
ner, which was quite an elaborate af-
. fair, and which was followed by danc-
ing. All in all it was one of the most
enjoyable social affairs ever held
among the Italian population of this
vicinity. When the party broke up
and the guests departed for their
| homes they showered the bride and
| groom with their best wishes for a
i happy wedded life.
