A EE A FSS SIT,
Centre County Asked to Furnish
$10,000 for European Relief.
A campaign will be waged in Cen-
tre county in the near future to raise
$10,000 for the relief of starving chil-
dren in Central Europe. This will be
in addition to the campaign being
waged now for the Near East relief.
A meeting was held in the grand jury
room on Saturday afternoon as a pre-
liminary to the proposed campaign.
It was called by burgess W. Harrison
Walker at the request of Major
George W. Braden, of New York city,
a member of Herbert Hoover's “fly-
ing squadron,” who has been travel-
ing over the eastern and middle States
in the interest of the campaign.
He stated to the two dozen people
present that it was vitally necessary
for the United States to extend help
to the central European countries,
where over three million children are
literally starving for something to
eat. According to Herbert Hoover's
estimate it will take thirty-three mil-
lion dollars to keep these children
from starving this winter, and that
amount will only suffice to give them
one hot meal a day. The above
amount has been apportioned through-
out the United States and Centre
county’s share is $10,000. -
At Saturday's meeting burgess
Walker was elected chairman to wage
the Centre county campaign, but it
was the sentiment of most of those
present that the campaign for Near
East relief should be closed out before
the new campaign is started.
Clever Musical Show Coming—“My
Soldier Girl.”
The most talked of muscial show of
the entire season is the brand new
version of the brilliant musical spec-
tacle, “My Soldier Girl,” coming to
the Garman opera house Monday
night, January 31st. The gorgeous
costumes are fashion plates of the
latest design, the novel numbers are
staged under the careful direction of |:
one of our best ballet masters, and
the feature novelties are many. “Flir-
tation Walk,” an illuminated. run-
board extending from the stage near-
ly half way to the rear wall of the
theatre, and the many numbers intro-
duced on the “walk” offer new and
amusing entertainment, - while a
“moon dance at the lawn fete,” a |
grand illumination of New York city,
and bewitching “pony” ballet in the
Follies, are a few of the feature nov-
elties. An elaborate production with
gorgeous costumes form ‘a back-
ground for a brilliant cast and big
“pony” ballet, who present the big
spectacle in all its merry-making.
There are some twenty musical hits,
including “My Soldier Girl,” “Jasper’s
Ragtime Band,” “That Dixie Wedding
Tune,” “LaVeeda,” “Bundle of Love,” |
“#] Want a Regular Man,” “Just for
You, Dear,” “New York” and “When
You Dance With the Girl You Love,”
which are the popular favorites.
State College Cattle Exhibit at Har-
risburg Show.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture for farmers at the Harrisburg
farm products show next week will be
the educational exhibit of pure-bred
live stock composed largely of prize
winning animals from the barns of
The Pennsylvania State College school
of agriculture. One entire building
has been set aside for this exhibit and
the college stock will include thirty
head of beef and dairy cattle, 23 head
of hogs, 15 head of sheep and 50 ped-
igreed birds. :
The stock to be shown will include
animals that have won a total of thir-
ty-three blue ribbons, placed seven
champions, three grand champions
and prize money amounting to over
$2,000 in last fall’s showings which
included the New York state fair, the
Eastern States livestock exposition
and the International at Chicago. At
the latter show college stock was
awarded four championships, 13 firsts
and 14 seconds. Since the Harrisburg
exhibit is to be entirely educational,
there will be no competition for prize
awards.
Commissioner John F. Kramer to Lec-
ture in Bellefonte.
Prohibition Commissioner John F.
Kramer, of Washington, D. C., the
man who holds the enforcement of the
Volstead act in the hollow of his hand,
will lecture in the court house, Belle-
fonte, on Sunday, January 30th, at

ing the Eighteenth amendment.
Mr. Kramer, whose home is in Ohio,

BOWERSOX. — Mrs. Catharine
Bowersox, wife of the venerable
Franklin Bowersox, of Pine Grove
Mills, passed peacefully away at her
home in that place at 3:30 o’clock on
Wednesday afternoon. She had been
in feeble health the past year but was
able to be up and around her room
part of the time. On January 12th
she and her husband celebrated the
sixty-third anniversary of their mar-
riage and in some way she contract-
ed a cold. Pneumonia developed later
and caused her death.
She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Philip Ocker and was born in Snyder
county on Januray 24th, 1837, hence
had reached the good old age of al-
most eighty-four years. Her girlhood
life was spent near the home of her
birth and on January 12th, 1858, she
was united in marriage to Franklin
Bowersox, at Middleburg. In the
spring of the same year they came to
Centre county and located on a farm
near Millheim, in Penn township. For-
ty years ago they moved to Ferguson
township and purchased a farm on
which they lived until the spring of
1908 when they retired to a comfort-
able heme in Pine Grove Mills.
Mrs. Bowersox was a consistent
member of the Methodist church all
her life and a woman noted far and
wide for her old-fashioned hospitality.
Friend and stranger were always sure
of a welcome at her fireside. She was
the mother of fourteen children, elev-
en of whom, with her aged husband,
survive as follows: Mrs. John B.
Rockey, Mrs. Thomas D. Gray, and
Oscar Bowersox, of State College;
Elmer, in Texas; Miss Edna, of Phil-
adelphia; Mrs. John Fry and Mrs.
Charles Weaver, of Laurelton; John
and Mrs. G. E. Harper, of Pennsylva-
nia Furnace; A. L., of Pine Grove
Mills, and Dr. Frank Bowersox, of
Millheim. She also leaves one broth-
er and a sister, David Ocker and Mrs.
Sarah Williams, of Middleburg, as
well as twenty-nine grand-children
and twenty-two great grand-children.
Rev. Ira Fisher, of the Methodist
church, will have charge of the fun-
eral services which will be held at her
late home at ten o'clock tomorrow
(Saturday) morning, burial to be
made in Meek’s cemetery.
H Ii
SCHREYER.—Mrs., Emma Crosth-
waite Schreyer, wife of Charles
Schreyer, died quite suddenly at her
home in Altoona at nine o’clock on
Wednesday night, but at this writing
no particulars of her illness have been
obtainable. Early this month she
‘spent a week in Bellefonte with Mrs.
‘S. A. Bell and at that time was ap-
‘parently in the best of health.
She was a daughter of Robert and
‘Mary Hall Crosthwaite, was born in
‘Bellefonte and would have been sixty-
‘seven years old on the 29th of March.
‘The early years of her married life
‘were spent in Bellefonte, in fact the
family lived here until after the birth
‘of their last child when they moved to
Altoona and that had been her home
ever since.
In addition to her husband she is
survived by the following children:
Robert, Mary, Gray (in Panama),
She was a
life-long member of the Methodist
church and her pastor will have
charge of the funeral which will be
Altoona.
held tomorrow, burial to be made in’
For twelve years Mrs. Schreyer was
a compositor in this office and every
moment of that time she gave the
“Watchman” devoted, capable service.
‘She is the last to go of a quartette of
splendid women who in their maiden-
hood learned “the art preservative”
here. They were Laura Klinger, Nan-
nie Shrock, Sara Shaffer and Emma
Crosthwaite and in the memory of our
boyhood is recorded the many happy
moments we spent playing in the “al-
leys” in which they held “cases.” Em-
ma was ever the one who gathered us
to her refuge when we became too ob-
streperous with the others and she
was the one who, when we had grown
large enough to begin the trade and
had to get a “task” completed before
being released for Saturday play,
would slip a stick or two onto our gal-
ley and make the way out to the boys
that much shorter. Bless her pure,
christian soul! It has found the re-
ward it so richly deserved.

METZGER.—Mrs. James W. Metz-
ger, a native of Nittany valley, died

days. She is survived by one son,

home in Philipsburg last Friday fol-
lowing an illness of five months with

six years ago. His early life was
spent in that section of the county but
after his marriage to Miss Ellen
Agnes Mayes he took up his residence
in Philipsburg where he worked as a
machinist. He is survived by his
wife, one brother and three sisters.
Burial was made in Philipsburg on
Monday afternoon.
Hughes Skating Pond to Open This
Week.
The James Potter Hughes memorial
skating pond should be ready for
skating this week. The water was
pumped into the pond on Wednesday
afternoon. The Logans furnished the
hose, the Undines the engine and the
Fuel and Supply company the horses
for the engine. :
It is perhaps one of the most com-
plete ponds in the country. A conven-
ient warming house has been con-
structed where the skates can be put
on, with shelves and hooks provided
for the superfluous clothes of the
skaters. Two large arc lights also
hang over the pond. The admission
fee will be 25 cents, which will entitle
the skater to skate all morning or all
afternoon or all evening. Skaters
must enter the pond at the warming
house where the tickets can be pur-
chased. Fires must not be built on
the ice. Cigarette or cigar stumps or
stones or pieces of wood must not be
thrown on the ice. Any persons de-
tected in efforts to destroy any of the
equipment connected with the pond
will be dealt with according to law.
It is hoped that every one will ap-
preciate the fact that Mr. Hughes has
gone to a heavy expense to provide
this enterprise and will discourage in
every way whatever tends to damage
the pond or anything connected with
it.
Real Winter Here Now.
The first real snow fall this winter
occurred last Thursday night and Fri-
day covering the ground to a depth of
from four to five inches. Rain fol-
lowed the snow and then it blew up
cold and froze and the result is the:
first spell of what might be termed
winter weather this season. Of course
it brought out the sleds and sleighs
but they are not as plentiful as they
were ten or twelve years ago, as the
automobile still predominates as the
best means of travel, and will contin-
ue to do so as long as the roads do not
drift shut or the snow become too
deep.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
weather up to the past week was very
mild for the time of year it was still
cold enough to make ice, and some ice
dealers started cutting this week, the
ice being from eight to nine inches in
thickness. And it is probably a wise
move to harvest the crop now, be-
cause the sun is already showing more
and more each day and there is no as-
surance of a protracted spell of cold
weather. : ;
Answers to Health Questions.
Question 1—What causes tetanus?
Answer—Tetanus germs.
Question 2—In what class of
wounds is there greater danger of
tetanus? :
Answer—Deep, torn, lacerated or
bruised wounds.
Question 3—How may tetanus be
prevented ?
Answer—By the early administra-
tion of tetanus antitoxin.
The subject of the next lesson is
“Mosquitoes.” "
Because malarial fever is found
more often in low lands and on the
borders of swamps and marshes—for
a long time it was believed the disease
was caused by some kind of poison in
the air from such places.
It is now known that malarial fe-
ver is carried by a particular variety
of mosquito from one person to anoth-
er—and that its prevalence in regions
where standing water is abundant is
accounted for, because such conditions
are most favorable for the breeding
of mosquitoes.
Annual Meeting of Children’s Aid
Society.
The Children’s Aid society of Centre
county held its first annual meeting—
since the reorganization—January
11th, in Petrikin hall. Mrs. R. S.
Brouse, president; Miss Kate Shugert,
secretary; Miss Mary Quigley, treas-
ure, were re-elected. Miss Margaret
Cook, Mrs. William Waddle, Belle-
fonte, and Mrs. Frank Gardner, of
State College, were elected vice-pres-
idents. The report of-a committee on
by-laws was read and is to be for-
warded to the Western Pennsylvania
society, Pittsburgh, for approval.
This meeting was more fully at-
tended than any previous meeting and
it is hoped this means a year of en-
thusiastic co-operation on the part of
all members. The society needs funds
to carry on the work successfully and
a large membership means more
funds. The annual dues are one dol-
lar and can be paid at any time to
Miss Mary Quigley.
Mr. John Curtin has announced
his intention of being a candidate in
the September Primaries for the office
of tax collector of Bellefonte. It was
rumored that two women also have
aspirations for the office, but inquiry
yesterday proved the rumors ground-
less so far as any serious thought of
running on the part of the ladies is
concerned. $
Will You Do Your Part?
One year ago two hundred and fifty
thousand children in the Near East
were starving.
Their parents, because they were
christians, had been killed before
their eyes.
Many of these innocent little ones
were naked; they were weak, diseas-
ed, dying from desert exile.
They were homeless and hopeless,
wandering about the fields and villag-
es feeding on roots and offal.
Tens of thousands of christian girls
were the unwilling slaves of the Turks
and Kurds.
Today, the table set by Near East
relief is over twenty-four miles long.
One hundred thousand of these chil-
dren are well fed and clothed. But
there are still 150,000 homeless and
starving.
Sixty-three hospitals with 6,662
beds care for the sick ones.
Rescue homes receive women and
girls released from slavery as fast as
there is room to take them in.
Over half a million refugees are fed
daily with food supplied by America.
Broken families have been united
and homes restored. *
Tomorrow, the children in our care
must still be fed and clothed—there
is no one else to do it. If we fail
them, they will die.
Winter will drive thousands more
from their temporary summer shel-
ters to the doors of Near East relief.
29,176 of these little ones look to
Pennsylvania for life.
Sixty dollars will feed a child for
one more year.
This sum can be paid in monthly in-
stallments of five dollars.
Near East relief is incorporated by
the Congress of the United States for
relief of the suffering until some re-
sponsible government is established.
It is the spirit of the American peo-
ple responding to the call of outraged
humanity.
Centre county will again be called
upon to do its share during the Near
East campaign, February 1st to 8th.

Our Red Cross Community Nursing.
Greater demands are being made
‘daily for nursing services in Belle-
fonte and community, all of which
' shows that the citizens are learning
| to appreciate the value of the commu-
nity nurse. As an example of the
service the Red Cross is doing in this
department the report of Miss Peter-
man for last month shows that she
made 68 nursing visits; 2 night vis-
its (emergencies); 11 infant welfare
visits; one pre-natal visit; 37 visits to
homes of school children; 9 children
miscellaneous cases, making a total
of 145.
The community nurse is a general
family health worker giving bedside
care to the sick when there is a doc-
tor in attendance. She goes to rich
and poor, expecting the patients to
pay the cost of the visit in accordance
with their circumstances. The same
care is given, however, to those who
cannot pay. Miss Peterman can be
reached at Petrikin hall between 8:30
and 9:00 a. m. and from 1 to 1:30 p.
m. Bell phone 2-J. In case of emer-
gency or at other hours call Bell
phone 258-R.
Madera, Clearfield County, Ravished
by Fire.
Thirteen buildings and their con-
tents were destroyed by fire in Made-
ra, Clearfield county, last Friday
morning, entailing a loss estimated at
$225,000. The fire is believed to
have been of incendiary origin,
as two men were seen running
away from the Liberty Trading
company store, where the fire start-
ed, just after the flames broke
out. The Liberty Trading company
suffered the largest less, but among
the other business places destroyed
was the Hileman hotel, the Madera
Times, a motion picture show, pool
room and barber shop, Senator S. J.
Miller’s drugstore, and a number of
residences. Fire companies from
Houtzdale, Osceola Mills and Philips-
burg responded to an appeal for as-
sistance and were successful in stop-
ping the progress of the flames.

First to Smoke in Twenty Years.
Tobacco will be reinstated in the
White House under the Harding ad-
ministration after an absence of al-
most twenty years. Various anti-to-
bacco organizations which propose to
make Lady Nicotine a companion in
exile for John Barleycorn will have a
shining mark to shoot at, while the
smokers will have a national leader.
Senator Harding smokes and he is a
- slave to no particular form of smok-
ing. Sometimes it is a pipe, some-
times a cigar and not infrequently it
is a cigarette.
He will be the first President since
McKinley, who died in 1901, who has
used tobacco in any form, according
to the Brooklyn Eagle. Theodore
Roosevelt never smoked during his
life. William H. Taft was a steady
smoker during part of his life, but
abandoned the consolation of tobacco
when he was Secretary of War, by
advice of a doctor, and has never re-
sumed it. He was a non-smoker dur-
ing his Presidential term. Woodrow
Wilson has never been a smoker.
Warren G. Harding, however, is a
smoker of liberal tastes. He smokes
whenever he pleases and whatever
suits his fancy at the time. Thus the
Presidential study after March 4 will
frequently be filled with an aromatic
haze, while there will probably be ash
‘trays on the mahogany table in the
| cabinet room, a thing that has been
unknown for years.
~ No matter how the election went,
the non-smoking era at the White
- House was destined to come to an end.
: Governor Cox is a pipe smoker of per-
| sistence and enthusiasm. He and
! Harding were the first pair of smok-
! ing candidates in a long time. When
| McKinley defeated Bryan in 1896 he
| beat a non-smoker. When Roosevelt
beat Parker in 1904 the victor was a
non-smoker. Both Taft and Bryan
in 1908 were abstainers from tobacco.
: In the three cornered fight of 1912
! Wilson, Roosevelt and Taft were all
non-smokers. In 1916 the same state
| of affairs existed, when Wilson defeat-
. ed Hughes. But in 1920 tobacco came
| back with both feet. Harding and
| Cox consumed several pounds during
| the campaign.
| Dick Won His Case.
Three year old Dick simply would
| not go to sleep. When he had asked
| for water eight times his exasperated
{ mother said:
I “Now, Dick, I am not going to give
| you any more water. Little Jack Hor-
| ner went to sleep in the corner, and
he didn’t have any water. Little Boy
| Blue went to sleep on the haystack
and he didn’t have any water.”
| Dead silence for a moment. Then
Dick replied:
“But how about Jack and Jill, who
| went up the hill? They had a whole
pail of water.”
. Dick got his ninth drink.—Philadel-

They All Do It.

Blowman was also a proud father
| and he looked at the other with half-
hearted enthusiasm.
“How old is your boy?” he asked,
in a polite tone.
“Fifteen,” returned the first proud

“Fifteen,” openly scoffed Blowman.
“Why my little boy at home can play
with his toes, and he’s only one year
old.”
