Will be Held at Bush House by Centre
County Democrats.
Carrying out the suggestions of
Cordell Hull, chairman of the Demo-
cratic National committee, that Jack-
son day, which comes on January 8th,
be made the occasion for public gath-
erings in every section, the Democrats
of Centre county will celebrate the
event by holding a Jackson day dinner
in Bellefonte on that date. The prin-
cipal details for this event have been
arranged by a committee that met in
the office of County Chairman Gray on
Saturday evening, as follows:
The dinner will be held at Bellefonte
on Monday evening, January 8th,
1928, at 6:30 o'clock, in the main din-
ing room of the Bush house, which
will accommodate about one hundred
and fifty guests—no more. No formal
invitations will be issued for the rea-
son that the committee can not send
a personal invitation to every Demo-

crat in Centre county, and will not dis-
criminate. This notice in the various
newspapers is the only invitation that
will be issued. The capacity of the
dining room being limited, therefore,
the first one hundred and fifty paid
ones to attend—first come, secure the
reservation.
For this occasion the committee is
fortunate in announcing the following
distinguished gentlemen who will be
the guests of the evening, and who
will deliver the addresses:
Hon. Roland S. Morris, of Philadel-
phia, who served as Ambassador to
Japan the latter part of President
Wilson’s second term, also was chair-
distinguished members of the Phila-
delphia bar.
Hon. Charles J. Reilly, of Wlliams-
port, a prominent member of the Ly-
coming county bar and a veteran
Democrat who has been prominently
identified with the Democracy of this
State, and is an eloquent and forceful
speaker.
Hon. William I. Betts, of Clearfield,
recently elected to the State Senate
from this district, and who needs no
introduction at this time to the De-
mocracy of Centre county.
This will be an exceptional array of
talent, each of whom will have inter-
esting and instructive messages to the
unterrified Democracy.
Since no formal invitations will be
issued, blank application forms will be
sent to every local Democratic com-
mitteeman in the county who will sup-
ply copies to persons in their respect-
ive communities who desire to attend
this dinner. The price per plate will
be $1.25, and if that amount with the
blank is sent to county chairman G.
Oscar Gray, Bellefonte, before Janu-
leged diners—first come, first served.
Personal letters accompanied by $1.25
can be sent direct to the chairman. Of
course the invitation includes the
women.
Community Christmas Tree for
Bellefonte.
The “Watchman” extends congratu-
lations to the Camp Fire girls of
Bellefonte on their determination to
give the people of Bellefonte the de-
light of the town’s first community
Christmas tree. The idea was con-
ceived some four months ago and un-
der the leadership of Mrs. C. E. Wil-
liams and Miss Rachel Lambert the
community tree promises to be the big
event of the 1922 Christmas season.
Final arrangements have been com-
pleted and the tree is an assured fact.
It will be placed in the Diamond and
will be prettily decorated and illumin-
; ated.
The big event is scheduled for Sun-
o’clock prompt and from that hour
until 9 o’clock they will be entertained
with nice Christmassy stories by Mrs.
Maurice Krader. At 9 o’clock they
will march down stairs to face Santa
Claus, who will be stationed in the
corridor of the court house and who
girl a box of candy. At 9:15 o’clock
the various church choirs of the town
will gather around the community tree
and sing Christmas carols.
It is to be especially hoped that the
weather will be propitious for the big
event, which promises to be one of
joy and happiness. The Camp Fire
girls are having the hearty co-opera-
tion in their good work of the Elk’s
club, the Keystone Power corporation,
Electrie-Supply company, the Business
‘Men’s association, Harry Clevenstine,
Harvey Miller, Russell Lambert, A. R.
McNitt, the County Commissioners
and members of the various church
choirs.

Officer Located Stills While Hunting
for Stolen Engine.
State policeman Joseph E. Rine re-
cently located two stills in active op-
eration on the old Fowler farm, in
Taylor township, while on the hunt of
a stolen gasoline engine and other
stuff. The farm is occupied by Roy
Patterson, who came there from
Cleveland, Ohio, and who, it is charg-
Ohio prison
Some time
missed a gasoline engine and some
bed clothing and suspected Patterson
of taking them. State policeman Rine
was put on the job and in searching
the Patterson premises he found two
stills in operation, one on the first floor
and one in the attic, as well as a bar-
rel of mash. The mash was destroyed
and the stills confiscated and taken to
Hollidaysburg. Patterson was placed
under arrest pending action by the
federal authorities. He may also have
to answer to the Centre county court
for larceny.
Prisoners Brought Back.
On October 17th M. J. Tidd and
Clarence Devinney, two honor inmates
of the Rockview penitentiary, left the
prison farm on which they were work-
ing, stole an automobile and made
their escape. Several weeks ago two
men were arrested for vagrancy at
Key West, Fla. They gave as their
names James De Floris and M. O.
Keffe, and were given a twenty day
sentence. Later the authorities sus-
pected that the men were the two pris-
oners who escaped from the Rockview
penitentiary and after considerable
quizzing they finally admitted the
fact. The penitentiary officials were
notified and the parole officer and two
guards went to Key West last week
and on Saturday evening reached
Bellefonte with their prisoners.
The men had almost completed their
five year sentences for larceny; in
fact their time would have been up
May 1st, 1923. Now they face an ad-
ditional five year sentence as well as
another trial for larceny.

Mrs. Stella Campbell, a Seventh
Day Advent missionary, is visiting
Centre county relatives and inciden-
tally preaching her cult at her var-
ious stopping places. She is a native
of Gregg township, having been born
in the vicinity of Spring Mills, but
for many years. She left there on
September 21st in a baby grand Chev-
rolet car which she had specially fit-
ted out for her trip, with a bed, cook-
ing outfit, typewriter, sewing machine,
wardrobe and about every convenience
but a bath room. The trip east was
through Nevada, Utah, Wyoming,
Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio, with various stops
along the way. Her only traveling
companions are her dog “Ted” and
“Dick,” a canary bird.
Mrs. Campbell reached Philipsburg
two weeks ago where she visited rel-
atives and this week has been looking
up old friends through Pennsvalley.
On leaving Centre county she will mo-
tor to New York city, then to Wash-
ington, D. C., and south to Florida,
where she will spend the winter.
79th Division History Now Ready.
Centre county young men who
fought in the 79th Division during the
world war will be interested in learn-
ing that the history of the Division is
now ready for distribution and is one
of the most complete and elaborate di-
vision histories that has yet been pub-
lished.
It is a story of every unit and the
heroic deeds of individual men by
name, told within 542 pages, with as
many pictures of stirring events as
vision was organized at Camp Meade
in 1917 until it returned to Hoboken
in 1919.
The cover is a design of the German
Crown Prince’s headquarters at Mont-
faucon with the men of the 79th Di-
vision marching by. The compilation
and writing of this book has taken two
years, an earlier history having been

Out of Our Christmas Mail Bag.
Seven points hath the Christmas star;
One is the love that shines afar
From God to man, and one is the love
That leaps from the world to the Lord
above,
And one is good will on the happy earth,
And one is purity, one is peace,
And two are the joys that never cease--
God’s joy,
Man's joy—
Aflame in the star of the wonderful Birth.
And the light of God's love is a golden
light,
And man’s love to man is crimson bright,
And man’s love to God is an azure ray—
Alas, when it flickers and dies away!
And the seven rays through the worship-
ing night,
Like the flash of all jewels exult and
play— &
God's joy, 3
Man's joy— :
Yet they shine as ome, and the star is
white.
When Amos R. Wells wrote the bit
of verse above, when he was thinking
of man’s love to man as crimson
bright he was expressing our thoughts
as we open the Christmas letters that
come into this office.
If it were “apple blossom” or “ap-
ple butter” time we would probably be
starting to sing “For he’s a jolly, good
fellow” and be meanin’ old “Rube”
Freeman. He writes from his office
in the Broad Street Station, which
happens to be one of the very import-
ant ones in the Pennsylvania Railroad
System, that he has worked up to from
a clerkship on the Tyrone Division,
saying that the Watchman “already
measures up to the best of the metro-
politan dailies.” This is in answer to
our prayer of last week for remit-
tances with which to buy brains to
make the old sheet better. Good old
“Rube!” Schooled in the days of
“Danny” Woods and “Dick” Witter
how could we expect him to come
through with anything but something
of cheer and encouragement.
They don’t forget. Bellefonte
leaves an impression all its own on
those who it would seem could find
little of lasting interest here. On Ju-
ly 19th, 1919, Lieut. Charles Lam-
bourn, one of the first of our aerial
mail pilots fell from the clouds and
was killed at Dix Run. His was the
first and only fatal accident to a pilot
leaving the Bellefonte field. His
brother John came here from St.
Joseph, Mo., to claim the body of the
aviator. He knew no one in Belle-
fonte, had nothing in common with
any of us—other than the sorrow that
makes all the world akin. But the
three years and more that have elaps-
ed have not dulled the memories of
John Lambourn and he writes to ask
the “Watchman” to tell “All the peo-
ple of Bellefonte that the Lambourns
have better wishes for them, this
blessed Christmas seasop..than. wera,
-a-Cnrtstmas card.”

“For me to be without the “Watch-
man” is just unthinkable,” writes C. S.
Dannley from Wadsworth, Ohio. “It
holds a place unique in the list of my
reading matter for it has been asso-
ciated with my life ever since P. Gray
Meek took charge of it and a copy of
its first issue is still in our family pos-
session.” We know that the Dannleys
are an old Ferguson township family
and we are wondering whether they
were among the subscribers whom the
late Shannon McCormick, the father
of John T., of State College, secured
when he volunteered to go horse-back
over that section to gather up a pay-
ing list for the paper that was trying
to make bricks without straw.
And down from the scenes of Mr.
Dannley’s boyhood comes a letter
from D. W. Miller, the old soldier, the
old Democrat, the old friend, who at
the age of 76 had just returned from
the hunt on “which he had not missed
a meal or roll call for fifteen days,” to
send a word of Christmas greeting to
the workers in the “Watchman” office.
His son Cooper, from Chester, had
been with him for two days and went
home with a two-pronged buck.
The season of good will and peace
on earth is not without its measure of
sad reflections, however, H. Cunning-
ham, writes from Atlantic City, that
he expects to spend a few days in
Bellefonte but laments the thought
that men are being legally murdered
midst the placid, peaceful, life-giving
scenes of old Centre county. He re-
fers to Rockview and capital punish-
ment. We wish we had space in which
to publish his letter this week, but if
it is any comfort to him we want to
| advise that during the holiday season
‘no electrocutions take place at Rock-
| view. Some day, we hope, when peace
on earth and good will among men
‘have really come there will be none
‘any time, any where, for then there
will be no cause for an eye for an eye
or a tooth for a tooth.
Elks Play Part of “Big Brothers” to
Twenty-four Boys.
Twenty-four boys in Bellefonte will
be made happy this Christmastide by
the gift of a year’s membership in the
Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. through the

members of the Bellefonte Lodge of
Elks. That organization is footing
the bill and the boys to whom the
memberships were given were selected
by Secretary S. S. Aplin and Mrs. R.
S. Brouse, of the Associated Board of
