polls the mother of ten voters.
Coincidental as it may seem she is
the widow of one of the old war-
horses of Democracy over in the West
ward in the days when the writer was

in the political game, and it was her
husband, the late James Kane, who
made many a bullet for me to shoot.
Mrs. Kane has three daughters and
seven sons who are all voters now and
as we rode to the polls on Tuesday I

distinction of going with a mother of

Rabbit Hunting Season Now On. |
i
. |
The rabbit hunting season opened
on Monday and quite a number of
Bellefonte hunters went out to try
their luck, but so far as the writer ob-
served there were no up-to-the-limit
bags. Quite a number of hunters
from other counties came to Centre
county to try their luck and a few of
them were successful in bagging
strings of six and eight, but the total
kill so far has not been large. Infact
the weather is not favorable for good
rabbit hunting, and especially without
the aid of a seasoned rabbit dog.
The big majority of hunters in the
county are waiting for the opening of
the deer season on December first,
when the big rush to the woods is
made. The reports during the sum-
in the mountainous districts will no
doubt attract the usually large num-
ber to take up the trail when the deer
hunting season opens, and that time is
FOURTH RED CROSS CALL.
Sunday, November 14th, Set Apart for
Canvass.
The fourth Red Cross roll call for
the Bellefonte Chapter will be made in
one big drive on Sunday, November
: 14th, the day already designated as
«Red Cross” Sunday, and proclaimed
officially by President Wilson as
“Armistice Sunday,” and as such to
be observed as a memorial to those
American soldiers who made the su-
preme sacrifice on the battlefields
across the sea.
The Bellefonte Chapter is already
making preparations for the roll call
this one day will result not only in a
100 per cent. enrollment of present
, members, but in an over-subscription
of the district quota.
Mrs. John P. Lyon is chairman of
the roll call committee and plans are
rapidly being completed for the inten-
sive one-day drive for members.
Watch for bulletins and further an-
nouncements.
Centre county surely appreciates
the vast work that the Red Cross has
been doing since the war,—the great
humanitarian work of the local Red |
Cross nurse, Miss Peterman; the
service men who have received help
and advice; the fact that the Red
Cross stands ready to serve in the
time of distress and need,—all these
factors will surely lead the patriotic
citizens of our county to lend their
support in behalf of the Red Cross of
peace. “Still the greatest Mother in
the world.” Red Cross means serv-
ice!
Anniversary of Bellefonte
Chapter D. A. R.
Silver
One of the most brilliant and suc-
cessful social affairs of the autumn
season was the celebration of the sil-
ver anniversary of the Bellefonte
Chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution at the home of
Mrs. D. H. Hastings last Thursday
evening, the hostessess being the
charter members of the Chapter still
living, as follows: Mrs. A. O. Furst,
Mrs. Jas. A. Beaver, Miss Sara Benner,
Mrs. Jean Shugert Kelly, Mrs. Frank
McCoy, Mrs. Wilbur F. Reeder and
Mrs. W. F. Reynolds. Sixty-four of
the one hundred active members and
five associate members were present.
Among the distinguished guests at
the gathering were Mrs. A. E. Patton,
ex-vice president general and ex-state
regent, of Clearfield; Mrs. E. E.
Sparks, of State College, a member of
the chapter and now state regent of
Pennsylvania; Mrs. James Kerr and
| Mrs. William Swoope, of Clearfield;
Miss Hibbs, of Valley Forge, and
Mrs. Fredericks, of Wilmington, Del.
Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cooke, national
vice president general, of Cookesburg,
Pa., and Mrs. Allen P. Perley, an ex-
national officer and ex-state regent, of
Williamsport, sent regrets. The
guests present all brought greetings
from their respective chapters.
Miss Eleanor Gibbons, a missionary
on her way to China, and Mrs. E. R.
Smith, of Illinois, former members,
also sent greetings.
The present Chapter officers are as
follows: Regent, Mrs. G. G. Pond;
vice regent, Miss Helen E. C. Overton; |
registrar, Mrs. James A. Beaver; cor-
responding secretary, Mrs. Harold B.
Shattuck; historian, Mrs. William E.
Gray; treasurer, Miss Kate Shugert;
recording secretary, Mrs. M. Elizabeth
Olewine.
Owing to the absence of the regent,
Mrs. G. G. Pond, Miss Helen E. C.
Overton, an honorary state regent and
at present vice regent, presided at the
meeting. She gave a brief history of
the chapter, which was both interest-
ing and entertaining.
Mrs. A. O. Furst, who has the dis-
tinction of having been the first re-
gent of the chapter, told how the
chapter was organized twenty-five
years ago with sixteen members.
Mrs. Harry Valentine, chairman on
revolutionary research, told how the
graves of revolutionary soldiers and
real daughters were marked with per-
manent markers, and how each year
on Memorial day a committee of D.
A. R. members places Betsy Ross
flags on their graves.
In the absence of Miss Kate Shu-
gert, niece of a Daughter, Miss Anna
McCoy, daughter of a Daughter, re-
ported the receipts and expenditures
of the chapter, while Mrs. John Por-
ter Lyon, ex-chapter regent, told |
about the war work done.
Mrs. Hastings’ home was profusely
decorated with American flags and
most beautiful flowers. Patriotic
songs were sung, with Mrs. H. H.
Harner at the piano. Delicious re-
freshments were served during the
evening.
Bryan to Visit State College.
William Jennings Bryan will speak
in the Auditorium at State College
next Tuesday evening, November 9th,
at 8:15 o'clock.
Mr. Bryan comes under the auspic-
es of the honor society Phi Kappa Phi.
The low prices of twenty-five and
fifty cent admission will permit every-
body to attend.
The net proceeds will go towards
bringing other speakers of national
repute to the College. It is hoped
Mr. Bryan will be greeted by a large
audience as an encouragement to the
Phi Kappa Phi to continue the good
work of bringing such eminent men
into this vicinity.

—Among the Bellefonters who went to

Sanderson, of Dix Run, cut out hunting
rabbits and birds long enough on Wednes-

know that John is a wonderful Democrat
so he didn’t find any more consolation here
than he had gotten in a fragmentary way
by telephone up at Mr. Sanderson’s home,
where he is being entertained while hunt-
ing. His host is a Republican, but being
an exceedingly amiably one was trying to
| make John feel as comfortable as he could

; were both in we opine that he succeeded
very well.
