Soldier Boys Coming Home.
If the Nationl Guard units of Cen-
tre county have not reached home by
the time the “Watchman” is in the
hands of its readers it is pretty sure
they will arrive some time today, or
tomorrow, as orders were issued for
breaking camp yesterday. In the
meantime our correspondent with the
headquarters troop of the 52nd ma-
chine gun squadron has contributed
the following letter on camp life the
past week:
Editor of the “Watchman:”
The past week has been marked with
minor disturbances among the strik-
ing miners. A bridge was blown up
Saturday, near a little town called
Jerome, which was supposed to be the
work of miners and railroaders to-
gether. The structure was just a|
small one on a branch line of the B.
& O., leading to several mines. The
job was not a very successful one and
the damage was quickly repaired. The
Boal troop patrols in the vicinity of
where the explosion took place and it
was only a short time afterward that
they arrived on the scene but they
were unable to find any clue that
might indicate who the persons were.
Today everything is reported quiet
over the county, although trouble was
to be expected on Labor day. The
United Mine Workers of America held
a meeting in Somerset last week, the
object of which was to get the opera-
tors of the county to sign the Cleve-
land agreement, but none of the op-
erators put in their appearance at the
meeting so nothing was gained. They
did resolve to coninue the strike until
the operators would sign either the
Cleveland agreement or individual
wage scales according to the policies
of the district and national agree-
ment.
It is more than probable that by the
time the readers of your paper see
this that we will be on our way home.
We expect to leave here Friday morn-
ing, picking up the different troops of
our squadron on the way to Johns-
town. It would be hard to tell just
when we will arrive in Bellefonte, but
it will be some time Saturday. }
The present camp site of our squad-
ron has been named in honor of Bu-
gler Frank B. Crissman, a former
member of Troop L, who gave his life
in France, September 29th, 1919.
Every one is looking forward to get-
ting home and they will be able to tell
their people more than I could ever
write in a letter, so I will leave the
rest to the boys.
Sincerely,
JOHN J. BOWER, Jr.
Forger Sent to Penitentiary.
At a special session of court on Fri-
day Harry Pergrin was sentenced to
the western penitentiary for not less
than four years nor more than five for
forgery. Six weeks or two months
ago Pergrin made his appearance in
" Philipsburg and finally opened an ac-
count at the Moshannon National
bank with a check drawn on the Cher-
ry Tree National bank and signed
John D. Little. When it was discov-
ered that the check was a forgery
Pergrin had disappeared. It also de-
veloped that he had left Philipsburg
in company with a Morrisdale young
woman. He was finally located in
DuBois where he was arrested on
August 11th. Being unable to make
good he was brought to the Centre
county jail and on Friday, after en-
tering a plea of guilty to the charge
of forgery was sentenced as above
noted. He was taken to the peniten-
tiary on Saturday by sheriff Harry
Dukeman.
Veteran World War Organization
Holds Reunion.
The first official reunion of the Boal
Machine Gun Troop was held at Boals-
burg, Saturday and Sunday, and a
very large attendance was present.
This organization was organized by
Theodore Davis Boal and completely
equipped for service on the Mexican
border in 1916, where it served as ma-
chine gun troop of the 1st Pennsylva-
nia cavalry during the Mexican trou-
ble; called and mustered into federal
service July 15th, i917. Trained at
Boalsburg and Camp Hancock, Augus-
ta, Georgia, as members of Machine
Gun Troop, 1st Penna. cavalry. On
disbanding of cavalry regiment at
Camp Hancock, December 19th, 1917,
the troop was transferred intact to
the 28th divisional headquarters and
designated as Company A, 107th Ma-
chine Gun Divisional Battalion.
The first complement of 90 men was
enlarged to 172 men and officers to
comprise a divisional unit. The ad-
ditional men were chosen and espe-
cially selected from the 1st Penna.
cavalry. The organization served in
the late world war and saw service on
all battle fronts and in most of the
major battles participated in by the
glorious Iron or Keystone Division—
the pride of Pennsylvania. Served
from July 15th, 1917, to May 22nd,
1919, and mustered out of service at
Camp Dix, New Jersey, May 22nd,
1919.
Owing to the heavy number of cas-
ualties suffered by the organization it
was filled by replacements, who came
from all over the United States. After
being mustered out of service the men
erected and dedicated a monument at
Boalsburg, on Labor day, 1919, in
honor of their fellow comrades who
made the supreme sacrifice on the
battle fields. This monument is a
Lorraine cross, found on the battle
fields of France, by the troop, and the
name of each member inscribed there-
on. Since that time they have been
prominent in dealing with the affairs
of all ex-service men, and especially
. those under Captain Wilbur F. Leit-
zell, commanding Company A, 107th
Machine Gun Battalion.
The large attendance of the first
official reunion was very hospitably
entertained by Lieutenant Colonel
Theodore Davis Boal in his usual
kindly manner at Boal camp, the ren-
dezvous of Troop A, 52nd, Machine
Gun Battalion, which is the continua-
tion of this organization and was or-
ganized by both new and old men of
this company, and which is now serv-
ing in the coal fields.
Col. Boal has just returned from a
survey of the battle fields of Europe,
being an attache of the War Depart-
ment with the Pennsylvania Commis-
sion delegation sent to select suitable
places to erect monuments in honor of
the glorious Pennsylvania troops dur-
ing the world war.
Many interesting subjects were dis-
¢ussed, and one worthy of mention is
that the Boal Machine Gun Troop and
Col. Theodore Davis Boal have pro-
posed to erect a monument in shape of
a fountain at one of the important
sites in France where this machine
gun company covered itself with fame
and glory and were honorably men-
tioned in division orders, and by spe-
cial citations from G. H. O., A. E. F.,
and Major General Bullard, command-
ing second army corps and officers in
the French high command. This mon-
ument will be erected at once by per-
sonal subscription of the troop and
Mr. Boal in honor of their fallen com-
rades during the defense of this site
in October, 1918, during a very severe
counter attack. The names of the
participants of this engagement will
be enrolled and placed in the corner-
stone, and the names of the heroes
who fell will be engraved on the out-
side. A suitable site has been pre-
sented by the French major command-
ing this area, from where the foun-
tain will be erected, leading to the
cliff overlooking the battleground and
the river below, where the troop so
gloriously fought.
A new club house for the Boal Ma-
chine Gun Troop will be erected next
year by the members of this veteran
organization for their exclusive use.
The reunion came to a very happy
end, a hearty vote of thanks was ex-
tended to Col. Boal for his kind hos-
pitality, and members from all over
the Keystone State look forward to
the next reunion to be held at Boals-
burg on Saturday and Sunday pre-
vious to Labor day, 1923.

Agricultural College Men Earn More
Money.
The initial earning capacity of grad-
uates of the school of agriculture of
The Pennsylvania State College, has
risen 62 per cent. in the last 15 years,
according to an announcement made
by Dean R. L. Watts. Basing his con-
clusions on a study made of the sala-
ries of more than 500 alumni, for the
most part men engaged in farming,
Dean Watts stated that the average
initial salary for men leaving college
in the past five years has been $1,340,
while in a similar period 15 years ago,
the average was $820.
The average salary of all men re-
plying jumped from $1,327 the first
year to $2,093 the fifth year. The av-
erage present salary of all the men
who replied to the questionnaire sent
out is $2,600. Eighty-six are receiv-
ing net incomes ranging from $2,500
to $3,000; 78 from $3,000 to $4,000; 12
from $4,000 to $5,000, and 24 $5,000
or more.
Country reared farmers were found
to be getting a slight amount more on
the average than city reared men.

McSparran and Pinchot Both Talk to the Grangers at Cen-
tre Hall.
The campaign was formally opened at Grange park, Centre Hall, yester-
day when John A. McSparran, Democrat, and Gifford Pinchot, once a Moose
always a Moose, talked to sweltering crowds in the auditorium. It was the
big day at the picnic, but so hot, dry and dusty that pop and ice cream cones
were far more popular than anything else on the grounds.
It was a field day for both Democrats and Republicans but the former
had the call because McSparran is Master of the Grange and a Pennsvalley
crowd is largely Democratic in conviction.
The crowd was estimated at from ten to fifteen thousand visitors outside
of the campers.
Wednesday was Grand Army day and twenty-nine of the survivors of the
sixties assembled to hear addresses by Col. J. L. Spangler and Prof. Geo. P.
Bible. The crowd on the grounds on Wednesday was etimated to have been
about half as large as that of Wednesday of last year.
The main exhibition house, where fruit, vegetables, grain and curios are
shown, is, as always, an interesting feature but the poultry and cattle exhib-
its, while of high grade, are very few, not near 2ll of the pens being occupied.
The two candidates for Governor spoke as follows: .
WHAT McSPARRAN SAID.
One of the twenty-seven indict-
ments made against King George, of
England, and which were the basis of
the separation between the thirteen
colonies and the mother country was
“He has sent over a swarm of office
holders to harass our people and eat
up their substance.”
The situation in Pennsylvania is
very like that which held in the olden
days. We have carelessly allowed the
usurpation of authority and privileges
until we have built up a government
composed of swarms of office holders
harassing our people by meddlesome
interference in the most trifling af-
fairs and eating up our substance in
the largest taxes we have possibly
ever had to pay. Bureaus and com-
missions have been established under
the excuse of taking care of some
public good when the real operation
of the department proved to be sim-
ply a set of jobs to be distributed by
a centralized political machine. A
family cannot go fishing without send-
ing to Harrisburg for a license, and
the excuse for that meddlesome inter-
ference was that a fisher’s department
would care for and restock the rivers
and lakes with fish. Our great diffi-
culty has been the dumping into our
rivers of poisonous substances detri-
mental to fish life, and thus many of
our rivers have become unsuited fer
fish, and yet the department asks for
larger and larger support each suc-
ceeding Legislature. A hunting li-
cense was put over on our people un-
der the excuse that dogs should be re-
strained in order that game be multi-
plied. The net result has been to es-
tablish a costly department at Harris-
burg and make a day’s sport for a
busy man expensive.
We started in some years ago pre-
sumably to build a system of state
highways, but after ten years or more
of effort we have made the miserable
showing of thirteen hundred miles of
state highways completed and have
built up a contractor’s combine at
prices for building roads that eats up
our money and gives us mighty little
roads, and at the same time, usurping
us-
and of dirt roads harassing our super-
visors and borough commissioners in
the performance of their duty and
preventing the community who must
pay for their dirt roads from spend-
ing their own money.
We have built up a stupendous
health department, not for the pur-
pose of establishing uniform regula-
tions and keeping a closer watch over
epidemics, but finding places for a
i work in building up, managing, study-
horde of office holders which meddle
into private affairs, keep our children :
out of school and inject virus in com- !
munities where no disease is preva-
lent.
We have allowed our schools to be
subject to inefficient political interfer-
ence on the excuse of statements as
ludicrous as they are faulty. They'
tell us Pennsylvania is twenty-first in
the list of States in the standard of
our schools. The system upon which
they compute these standards makes
Montana first, and Pennsylvania
twenty-first. The christian churches
of the east have down through the
years been sending missionaries to
Montana and yet we are expected to
believe that Montana has number one
schools and ours number twenty-one.
Dr. Schaeffer had the right idea of
measuring a school system when he
said “The test of a school system is
the product it turns out.” No one has
ever had the hardihood to say that our
boys going out to West Point and An-
napolis in competition with the boys
from every other State have fallen
down in their examinations because
of the poor schools of Pennsylvania. |
The fact is, the honor man last year
at West Point was a Pennsylvania
boy and the honor man of Annapolis
last year was a Pennsylvania boy,
coming out of our schools before Fin-
egan laid his autocratic hand upon
them. The meddlesome interference
in detailed conduct of our schools is
seen in having reports go up to the
State Department from forty-five
thousand school rooms in the State
harassing our teachers and finding
jobs for multiplied office holders in
the State Educational Department.
In the olden days the colonies had
to gather the taxes and then turn
them over to proteges of the English
government to spend. Our supervis-
ors, school directors, etc., collect enor-
mous taxes and turn them over to a
political hiearchy at Harrisburg to
spend.
The whole situation has become in-
tolerable. Not in a life time has there
been such an upheaval in the body
politic, and that clean-up cannot be
made by an administration that has
machine affiliations or uses in its co-
terie of officers the people who are re-
sponsible for bringing about this out-
rageous situation. The duty of the
hour for the citizenry of Pennsylvania
is to register and be ready to appear
at the polls to exercise the right our
forefathers gave to us when condi-
tions in their day became intolerable.
They had the manhood to do their du-
ty. Can we do less?

week received $6,000 of the overdue

WHAT PINCHOT SAID.
Before our State government can be |
conducted openly, economically, and |
efficiently, many things ‘must be!
done, and many changes must be!
made. To let in the light and clean |
up the mess at Harrisburg is a long, |
difficult, and many-sided undertaking. |
Without the support of the people it |
cannot be done at all. That is the:
first essential. i
It is in no sense a one man job. To
carry it through the Governor and the |
Legislature must each do their part. |
Some things the Governor can do by |
himself; others the Legislature can do '
by itself; others can be done only by !
the Governor and the Legislature :
working together for the good of the!
State.
The things which the Legislature
can do by itself belong to the Legisla-
ture, and do not require to be pointed
out by me. i
The things which the Governor can |
do by himself concern good house- |!
keeping in the government depart-
ments at Harrisburg and throughout
the State. They include such things
as removing from the pay-roll office-
holders who do not earn their pay;
protecting those who are loyal and ef-
ficient; and generally using modern
business methods in the State gov-
ernment.
What the Governor can do by him-
self is important. What the Gover-
nor and the Legislature must work to-
gether to get done is at least equally
important. The Governor can submit
a budget, but he cannot pass it. Only
the Legislature can do that. The Gov-
ernor can recommend changes in the
legally established financial practice
of the State, but he cannot enact the
necessary legislation. Only the Leg-
islature can do that. It is just as nec-
essary that we should have a Legisla-
ture that will stand with the Governor
in doing what ought to be done, as it
is to have a Governor pledged to at-
tempt it, and able to put it through. |
A Governor without a Legislature to !
support him is like a man without
shoes walking on stony ground.
To get economy and efficiency at
Harrisburg will require a complete re-
organization of the Government and
a thorough reconstruction of its
finances. These are the big things,
without which the people of Pennsyl-
vania cannot have a good modern
State government. They have not got
it now.
. The government of Pennsylvania
does a fifty million dollar business
every year. Many years of executive
1
ing, and planning for the reorganiza-
tion of State and National govern-
ment organization have given me a
realizing sense of what the task of re-
It will
experience, and
continuous hard work. The slap-stick
methods which we hear put forward
on the stump would have about as
much chance with it as a tinker with
a lady’s watch.
I am going to Harrisburg to carry
out the things my platform promises.
I shall do my best to offend no one,
injure no one, disregard no one. It is
reasonably certain that I shall not
please every one. No Governor has to
this date. Doubtless I shall not suvc-
ceed in everything. But at least I
will make a hard and honest try. And
if at any time during the coming four
years I find it necessary, in order to
get done any of the things which the
voters have elected me to do, I shall
go straight to the people for help.
They have the power. They have the
right to decide. They can get what
they want by letting their servants in
office know their will. I shall put the
question up to them.
In Mountain Cabin,
Work.
Miss Margaret A. Knight, dean of
women at The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, and about fifteen officers and
members of the women’s student gov-
ernment board, the Y. W. C. A. and
the Co-ed athletic association are now
holding their annual camping confer-
ence at a cabin in the heart of the
Seven mountains, not far from State
College, to be held from September
7th to 9th.
It has become customary for Miss
Knight and the officers of the various
organizations to go to the mountains
for a few days just before the open-
ing of college each fall, to map out a
program for the eeming year’s activ-
ities. During this eamping trip
plans will be prepared whereby the
women students at Penn State will
take an active share in the proposed
campaign for $2,000,000 for college
health and welfare buildings.

——Quite a number of people mo-
tored to Bellefonte on Wednesday
evening evidently under the impres-
sion that the Odd Fellows band would
give another of its deligthful concerts,
not aware of the fact that the concert
season closed last week. It might be
mentioned that during the entire sum-
mer the band missed but one concert,
and that was because of a hard rain.
Co-eds Plan
ULRICH.—Samuel Moore Ulrich, a
well known resident of lower Penns-
valley, died quite suddenly at his home
at Spring Mills on Monday morning
as the result of a third stroke of par-
alysis. He was first stricken in Oc-
tober, 1919, and ever since had been a
semi-invalid. Two weeks ago he suf-
fered a second stroke and a third on
Monday morning resulted in his death.
He was a son of Michael and Mary
Winters Ulrich and was born in Mill-
heim on December 7th, 1858, hence
was 63 years, 8 months and 28 days
old. His boyhood life was spent in
Millheim but when he grew to man-
hood he engaged in farming, an occu-
pation he followed in Penn and Gregg
townships until stricken with paraly-
sis almost three years ago when he
retired from the farm and moved to
Spring Mills where he had since lived.
About forty-four years ago he mar-
ried Miss Harriet Burrell who sur-
vives with the following children:
Mrs. Sallie Clemens, of Philadelphia;
Mrs. John Eckel and Harry Ulrich, of
Bellefonte, and Miss Mary, at home.
He also leaves two brothers and one
sister, William Ulrich, of Greenville,
S. C.; Hesser F., of Millheim, and Mrs.
L. H. Gettig, of Bellefonte.
He was a member of the Lutheran
church and Rev. Catherman will prob-
ably have charge of the funeral serv-
ices which will be held at ten o’clock
this (Friday) morning, burial to be
made in the Heckman cemetery.
il
SHUEY. James Shuey a life-long
farmer of College township, passed
away at seven o’clock yesterday morn-
ing. He had been a sufferer with
rheumatism for a number of years but
| was able to be around and see after
his farm work until last week when
he was suddenly taken worse and died
yesterday morning. He was a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shuey and was
seventy-two years old. He never mar-
ried but is survived by one sister and
two brothers, Miss Sallie Shuey, who
lived with the deceased; Isaac, of
Bellefonte, and John, of Lemont. He
was a member of the United Brethren
church for many years and a good cit-
izen. The time for the funeral is not
known at this writing.

JOHNSTON.—Thomas F. Johnston
of Crafton, sales manager for the
Federal Enameling and Stamping
company, died very suddenly at the
Hotel Jordan, in Clearfield, on Monday
evening of last week, of acute dilata-
tion of the heart, aged about sixty
years. I. J. Johnston, a son of the
deceased, took the remains to his home
in Hollidaysburg where funeral serv-
ices were held on Thursday evening
and on Friday the remains were taken
through Bellefonte to Lemont for bur-
ial in the Branch cemetery.
ll Il
LOFF.—James M. Loff died at his
home at Boalsburg on Monday morn-
ing from an affection of the heart,
aged 83 years. He is survived by. two
daughters, Mrs. Bliss Meyer, living in
Virginia, and Mrs. Robert Harper, at
home. He was a member of the Re-
formed church and Rev. S. C. Stover
had charge of the funeral services
which were held at 2:30 o’clock on
Tuesday afternoon, burial being made
in the Boalsburg cemetery.
Potato Seed Test by Farm Bureau.
The Farm Bureau completed a very
interesting potato seed source test on
the farm of A. C. Kepler, two miles
west of Pine Grove Mills, on Wednes-
day, August 30th. The Irish cobbler
is considered the best variety of ear-
ly potatoes to grow in this section of
the State, but there has been some
question as to the best source of seed.
Disease free seed was selected from
four best known sources, three from
Maine and one from Vermont, and
two rows of each planted side by side
on the same day, April 21st, under the
same conditions as to soil and fertil-
izer.
All were cultivated and sprayed the
same throughout the season. They
were raised, weighed and yield per
acre calculated with rather surprising
results. The figures following repre-
sent the yield per acre of marketable
potatoes.
Maine No. 1, 233.5 bushels.
Maine No. 2, 292.5 bushels.
Maine No. 3, 350.1 bushels.
Vermont, 336.5 bushels.
The above results are very striking,
however, too much dependence cannot
be placed on one year’s results. The
same comparison will be made next
year. A similar comparison will be
made with sources of disease free
seed potatoes of the russet variety,
which is recognized as the best Maine
crop of late variety for Pennsylvania.
Figures on this will be published later.
Mayer—Beezer.—Albert Mayer, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mayer, and
Miss Lillian Beezer, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Alfred Beezer, both of near
Bellefonte, were married at seven
o'clock on Tuesday morning at St.
John’s Catholic church by Rev. Father
Downes. They were attended by Miss
Eugenia Bauer and Andrew Kanopic.
The young couple were given a big
reception at the Mayer home at Roops-
burg the same evening.
Cramer—Neff.—Benjamin F. Cra-
mer and Mrs. Sarah E. Neff, both of
State College, were quietly married at
the Reformed parsonage at Boalsburg,
last Saturday, by the pastor, Rev. S.
C. Stover. They will reside at State
College.

Health Features at Grange Picnic.
Mrs. Maude Jones, State College
Red Cross nurse, and Miss Pearl
Meeker, Bellefonte Red Cross nurse,
were on daily duty at the Red Cross
tent to give first aid or answer any
call that came. They also had a sup-
ply of literature on infant welfare
subjects for distribution, as well as a
model baby layette, after the Metro-
politan Life Insurance pattern dis-
played in the exhibition tent.
Tuesday afternoon, at one o’clock,
the health clown, Fun Loo, gave a
performance for children and this was
followed by two films from the State
Tuberculosis society, “Jinks” and
“The Priceless Gift of Health.” At
three o’clock “How Life Begins” and
a lecture film for women, both from
the State Health Department, were
presented to women and girls over fif-
teen and at four o’clock, a film for
men was shown.
The auditorium is not well equipped
for afternoon movies and with doors
closed, owing to the heat, some dis-
comfort was experienced. In spite of
these drawbacks, good-sized audiences
attended the presentations and ex-
pressed appreciation of the courtesy
of Mr. Anderson, owner of the ma-
chine, and his operator, Mr. More-
house, for running the films, free, un-
der such a handicap.
Big Community Sale to be Held Sep-
tember 27th.
A big community sale will be held
in Bellefonte on Wednesday, Septem-
ber 27th, and farmers and others in
Centre county who have anything to
sell can add interest to the sale by
bringing it in, while any person wish-
ing to buy, should not fail to attend.
The committee in charge already have
in view a number of head of blooded
stock of various kinds, farm imple-
ments and many useful articles, so
that the sale is assured.
To make it worth the while of
everybody to attend all the merchants
of Bellefonte will have a special sale
that day of one or more articles at
greatly reduced prices. It will not be
a dollar day sale but the reduction of
the price on some articles will be of
decided benefit to the purchaser. Any
one wishing to send articles in in ad-
vance of the day of sale should get in
touch with either John B. Payne, J. N.
Robinson, at the farm bureau office;
G. Oscar Gray or D. Wagner Geiss.

Big Office Building for American
Lime and Stone Co.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
new office building of the American
Lime and Stone company, which will
be located on the spot occupied by the
old coal yard of McCalmont & Co.,
near the old glass works. The build-
ing will be two stories in height and
will face the road leading to Coleville,
which will require considerable filling
in and grading of the grounds in front
of the building. The company ex-
pects to have the building completed
before winter sets in.
——On Monday Mr. and Mrs.
Christy Smith and their daughter Sa-
rah motored to the top of Nittany
mountain for a brief outing. While
there Mrs. Smith and her daughter
were using a see-saw installed there
for the use of picnickers and while
doing so one of the supports gave way
and Mrs. Smith fell to the ground
breaking her left leg below the knee.
