WHAT THE NATIONAL DEFENSE
DAY REALLY MEANS.
Plans for Its Proper Observance in
Centre County. :
v mira . a5
Last week we published an account
of the public meeting that had been
held at the Boal troop camp, at Boals-
burg, for the purpose of perfecting
plans for a proper. observance of De-
fense day in Centre county. oh
.~ Since that time Bellefonte and Phil-
ipsburg have taken up the movement
so that for the purpose of this peace-
ful mobilization the county will be di-
vided into three units: All of Penns-
valley mobilizing at Boalsburg. All
of Nittany, Buffalo Run and parts of
Bald Eagle at Bellefonte and the re-
maining parts of the county at Phil-
ipsburg.
MOBILIZATION OF CITIZENRY.
In order that the object and purpose
of Defense day may be fully under-
stood it should be stated that the date,
September 12th, is the sixth anniver-
sary of the battle of St. Mihiel. In
lieu of extensive field exercises which
for economic reasons can not be held
during the present calendar year, the
Secretary of War has decided to initi-
ate for continental United States a
mobilization demonstration which will
serve as an occasion for assemblages
und ceremonies involving public mani-
festations of loyalty and practical pa-
triotism.
There are two main objectives of
the mobilization demonstration, name-
ly, patriotic demonstrations and a test
mobilization.
The object of the demonstration is
to depict the progress of mobilization,
the dependency of units on the com-
munity to which allocated and the ¢on-
tribution in personnel that would be
expected from each community in the
event of a national emergency.
ENLISTMENT OF THE CITIZENRY.
In a general way enlistment forms
are being distributed to all males of
military age—16 to 45 years—who
are being asked to enroll for the One-
Day National Defense. The most ex-
treme pacifist can find no excuse for
not signing an enrollment card. By,
so doing, every good citizen is but re-
newing his fealty toward his country,
the Stars and ‘Stripes. Those who put
in a physical appearance at Boals-
burg on September 12th will be giv-
en a certificate suitable for framing.
All the secret organizations in the
community are invited and the church-
es have been asked to make announce-
ments from the pulpit, so that the
widest publicity possible may be giv-
en the affair and contribute toward
its greatest success. 3
Nothing can be better termed 100
per cent. Americanism than this mo-
bilization demonstration, and those
who have charge of the arrangements
for the demonstration want to see it
go over: big,” with every ‘man and
young ‘man a loyal booster ‘for his
country and his flag. :
The demonstration is purely a eiti-
zens’ matter, with the military forces
of the country occupying a rear posi-
tion." Nothing savoring of militarism
will be exhibited; it is a peaceful pro-
gram, depicting the contribution in
personnel that would be expected from
each community in the event of a na-
tional emergency.
THE PROGRAM AT BOALSBURG.
At Boalsburg the demonstration
will take the form of a basket picnic
on the Troop grounds.” Col. Boal has
volunteered to provide sandwiches and
coffee for 3500 people. The State
College and Lemont - bands will be
there and two baseball games will be
among the diversions offered. Of
course there will be speeches appro-
priate to the occasion by men of em-
inence.
_ BELLEFONTE’S CELEBRATION.
At a meeting held last Thursday
night an organization was perfected
for the celebration of the day here by
electing Capt. Herbert Miller, of
Troop B, chairman, and appointing
various committtes to carry out the
work in detail. Every able bodied
man between the ages mentioned
above is asked to volunteer for the
one day only. Members of Troop B
will be at the armory at 9 o’clock on
the morning of September 12th to en-
roll all volunteers and assign them to
the various divisions.
A big parade in the afternoon will
be the leading feature. All volun-
teers are requested to meet at the ar-
mory promptly at one o’clock. The
parade will form on Linn street and
will include the two detachments of
the National Guard located here, the
Brooks-Doll post and the American
Legion, Red Cross, P. O. S. of A., the
volunteers for a day only, and all civ-
ic organizations that will volunteer to
turn out. Wetzler’s band, of Miles-
burg, the I. O. O. F. band, of Belle-
fonte, and the P. O. S. of A. drum
corps will furnish the music. The
chief marshall will be Major H. Laird
Curtin.
From the armory the parade will
march to Allegheny street, Allegheny
to Bishop, Bishop to Spring, Spring to
High, High to the depot, then coun-
termarch to the Diamond where a
short address will be made by Col. H.'
S. Taylor.
Following the meeting in the Dia-
mond there will be a free baseball
game between Bellefonte and Snow
Shoe and in the evening a free dance
in the armory. ’

EE ——————— ete————————
It is Now The Lauderbach-Griest Co.
Years of faithful and capable serv-
ice have identified a well known Cen-
tre county name with that of the cor-
poration doing the largest business
with retail grocers in Pennsylvania.
Last week the stockholders of the
Lauderbach-Zerby Co., met and made
application to have the firm name
changed .to that of The Lauderbach-
Griest Co. Mr. Zerby died about two
years ago and the stock holders were
of the opinion that the trade name
should embody that of the partner
who has done so much, in the twenty-
four years he has been associated with
it, in the way of making it the great
corporation it is. Accordingly Ed-
ward M. Griest, its vice president and
general manager, becomes publicly
identified as one of the important fac-
tors of the concern. .
The Lauderbach-Griest Co. is -cap-
italized at $1,250,000. It has distrib-
uting houses in Philipsburg, Belle-
fonte, Clearfield, DuBois, Punxsutaw-
ney, Spangler and Indiana. As we
have said above it is the largest whole-
sale distributor of groceries to retail-
ers in the State and does a business
running into the millions annually.
“Unionville,
this county, and is the oo oe
the late A. J. Griest, well known mer-
chant of his day and remembered for
his brilliant service to Centre county
as a County Commissioner. In his
father’s store Edward received his
training in the mercantile business.
It was practical and thorough, ‘with
fair and square dealing with every
one as the motto, so that when the
young man went into the larger field
of merchandising with the old firm of
Platt-Barber and Co., in Philipsburg,
he carried with him a certain exper-
ience and a name that became a great
asset to his new employers.
The incorporation of the Griest
name in that of the firm that has
grown colossal in the thirty-five years
it has been in business is a fitting
honor to the man who has been so
largely instrumental in its success.
Mr. Griest is so well known to the
trade all over Central Pennsylvania
that the change will be pleasing to its
patrons and add td the confidence of
the public in an already splendidly es-
tablished business concern.
Car Turns Over on Snow Shoe
Mountain.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wagner and
Miss Hartle and Samuel Rhinesmith
were coming down the mountain from
Snow Shee at an early hour yesterday
morning, and when just above the
Dim Lantern tea room they met a car
going up.
Blinded by the lights of the ap-
proaching car they drove their own
too far up onto the embankment on
their side. The result was that it, a
Ford coupe, turned over. None of the
occupants were hurt and the ear suf-
fered practically no damage from the
accident. It took fire, however, the
wires burning off before the flame
could be extinguished. In the effort
to put them out Mr. Wagner burned
his hands considerably.
Dental Hygienist Begins Work This
Week.
Miss MacDonald, of Downingtown,
graduate of the dental hygiene school
of the University of Pennsylvania,
will be dental hygienist in the schools
of Bellefonte for four and a half
months, having begun her work here
this week. The past two years the
dental hygienist was employed by the
tuberculosis committee of the Wom-
ans club but Miss MacDonald is en-
gaged by the board of education. At
the close of her work in Bellefonte,
she will spend the remainder of the
school year in the rural schools of
such communities as are sufficiently
interested to finance her work.
——Miss Hazel Hurley has resign-
ed her position as stenographer and
book-keeper in the office of the Emer-
ick Motor Bus Co., intending to go to
New York and enter a hospital as a
nurse in training. She has been suc-
ceeded by Miss Anna Badger.
HENRY WOOMER KILLED.
Victim of Auto Accident at Lamar on
{ Sunday Morning.
Becoming confused at the sight of
an approaching car while crossing the
road at Lamar, on Sunday morning, :
Henry Woomer, the well known stone
, mason of State College, stopped al-
most in the middle of the road and
‘right in front of the car with the re-
sult. that he was knocked down, drag-
; ged twenty or more feet and so badly
| injured that he died while being
. brought to the Bellefonte hospital.
Mr. Woomer, accompanied by two
of his daughters, Mrs. Robert Edmis-
| ton, of State College, and Mrs. D. W.
Showalter, of Bellefonte, and his
nephew, Charles Kerns, as driver of
the car were on their way to Lock Ha-
ven. ‘Near Lamar they stopped at the
home of a relative and Mr. Woomer
crossed the street to a refreshment
stand and got two bottles of pop for
the ladies. After they drank the re-
freshment he went back across the
road and returned the empty bottles
and as he started to return to
his car he evidently saw an auto-
mobile aproaching as he hurriedly
took a few steps then turned back a
few steps, but again started forward
and finally stopped in his tracks fac-
ing the approaching car as it struck
him. As stated above he was knock-
ed down and dragged about twenty
feet, sustaining a crushed skull.
The driver of the car, which was a
heavy Cadillac, was J. T. Foulke, of
Houtzdale, who spent Saturday night
at the Brockerhoff house and left
Bellefonte about ten o’clock on Sun-
day morning for a run to Jersey
Shore. The aecident happened about
10:30 o’clock and Mr. Foulke did
everything possible to avoid it. The
Woomer car was parked on the right
side of the road and the eating stand
on the left left no place in which he
could ditch his car, and the seesaw-
ing of Mr. . Woomer back and forth
gave him no chance to get around
him. And after the accident he did
everything possible for the injured
man. Assisted in rendering first aid
and in his own car brought him to the
Bellefonte hospital but he passed
away shortly before reaching that in-
stitution.
He was taken in, however, and an
inquest held by justice of the peace J.
M. Keichline in the afternoon. The
coroner’s jury included J. R. Hogen-
togler, W. J. Daley, P. H. Keichline,
Joseph B. Wagner, Harry Dukeman
and W. B. Houser, and after hearing
al the evidence obtainable regarding
the accident Mr. Foulke was absolved
from all blame.
Mr. Woomer was a son of Jacob
and Hannah Weaver Woomer and was
born at Tylersville, Clinton county, on
December 4th, 1848, hence was aged
75 years, 8 months and 27 days. Most
of his life was spent in Centre coun-
ty, having lived in the vicinity of
Rock Forge many years previous to
moving to State College about twen-
ty years ago. He was a stone mason
by occupation and an artist in his line,
many of the stone houses at the Col-
lege standing as mementoes of his
skill.
Mrs. Woomer died in 1903 but sur-
viving him are the following children:
Mrs. D. W. Showalter, of Bellefonte;
Mrs. James Duff, of Sunbury; Mrs.
Robert Edmiston, of State College;
Lloyd A., of Axe Mann; Wallace W.,
Harry C. and Carrie, of State Col-
lege; Percy E., of Cleveland, Ohio, and
Ruth, of State College. :
Funeral services were held at the
home of his son Harry, at State Col-
lege, at 9 o’clock Wednesday morn-
ing, by the pastor of the Methodist
church, after which burial was made
in the Meyers cemetery.
MINOR AUTO ACCIDENTS.
On Sunday morning Frederick Wil-
liams, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Wil-
liams, of Westfield, N. J., took a drive
to Snow Shoe Intersection in his fath-
er’s new Flint car. As he was turn-
ing around to return to Bellefonte a
Clearfield car driven by a young girl
ran into him, smashing the left front
wheel, jamming the fender and bend-
ing the axle. The girl admitted she
was driving so fast she was unable to
stop her car. As there is no Flint
agency in Bellefonte Mr. Williams was
compelled to get parts from Mount
Union to fix his car.
On Sunday an auto party from New
York State were motoring up Nittany
valley in a Jewett car. The party was
composed of a man, his wife and three
small children. In the vicinity of Hec-
la park one of the children almost fell
out of the car. The mother screamed
and the father reached back to grab the
child. In so doing he lost control of
the steering wheel, ran into a tele-
phone pole with such force as to break
it off at the ground, completely wreck-
ed his car but miraculous as it may
seem, not one of the party was hurt.
The Beveridge Coupe Wrecked.
Last Friday afternoon Mrs. David
R. Beveridge, of Bishop street, was
driving up High street in her coupe.
When she reached the intersection of
Spring street a car going down High
with the intention of turning into
south Spring struck the right front
of the Beveridge coupe knocking the
wheel to pieces, buckled up the fender
and bent the lamp.
——Harold Wion made the band
concert for us Wednesday night. His
trombone solo confirmed what we have
so often said that the organization
has a lot of really good musicians, but
they won’t let themselves out. He
stood up and played like he wasn’t
afraid of his audience and didn’t in-
tend to apologize for his execution.
And he doesn’t have to, for it was
fine,
