These be- side the twenty-five tents which will be rented from the State Forestry de- partment, The work of erecting the canvas bomes for the families intending to spend the week on the Park is pro- wressing rapidly. By the end of this week one hundred and fifty tents will have been staked and by the lstter part of next week the park will be ready to secommodate two hundred and twenty-five families under the canvas roofs, All ind ieations point to a great ex- hibition this year. The management Is receiving many requests from imple- ment manufacturers for displaying the moet modern farm machinery, The display of farm, garden, and orchard products will undoubtly eclipse all former exhibits owing to the ideal weather conditions which have pre- vailed during the growing season, Fhe opening day of the Eneamp- ment and Fair is Baturday, Beptember Sth ; the closing day, Fridsy Beptem- ber 14th, I ————— One Killed In Auto Wreck Near Phiilps- burg, One man was instantly killed and four persons were injured when a Penunsy passenger train on the Tyrone division crashed into a motor car own- ed by Charles Rubert, of Huntingdon, at a grade crossing at Bigler, near Phil- Ipsburg, Bundsy morning at 9:14 o'- clock, After striking the machine the train carried it sixty feet along the track.

The result was never in doubt, although the game was far from being one-sided. Pitcher Deitrich was unfortunate in baving hie defense behind bim orack at the time when air-tight playing would have prevented scoring. The feature of the game was ‘he fact that there were no put-outs for the Bpring Mills outfielders and only three for the Bellefonte fly-chasers, The score fol- lows : NO. 33 TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS, HAPPENINGS OF LOCAL INTEREST FROM ALL PARTS "Bquire Cyrus Brangart fs anticipate ing a crop of 150 bushels of choice peaches from his orchard jn the bor- ough, Mr. and Mre.

There were many relatives of the couple present from various eections, some coming from Oblo for this special occasion. In all the guests numbered eighty-nine; their names are appended, Of eourse, the happlest couple in the gatherirg were the bride and groom, who wore real smiles that would not come oft. They are quite young look. log and in reality sre not older than they look and feel, The couple have lived in Centre Hall for many yesrs, snd while residents here celebrated thelr sliver wedding. Mr. SBmetzler is On the retired list of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, having served long as & section foremsn., The couple are childiese, but did much and are yet dolog much for other children. Mre, Clyde Bradford, who was taken into toeir home when but 8 small child, can vouch for this, snd today finds the Bmetzler home next only to her own, * Just & bit before the meridian hour, Mr. and Mre, Bmetzler appeared at the front of their home and they follow ed & few appropriate remarks by Rev, J, CU. Bull, after which the fuvitstion for dinner was given, There was s great sbondance and variety of choice dishes prepared for the occasion, which apparently did not diminish, Most of the remembrances were in the etyle of gold pieces, the deviation being bul two, and these were prob- ably the most valuable and were of cut fines, presented by Mr, and Mrs. F.

McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury) The number of claims for exemp- tion from military duty under the draft law has caused a painful impres- sion in many quarters, but after all, does not the faot that no provision has yet been made by the Government for the support of the wives and children, mother or fathers of the men who have been drafted explain many of these claims for exemption, Under the draft law the Govern- ment has the power to require every able-bodied man between 21 snd 81 years of age to perform military daty, Thousande of the drafted men are wage-earners who married years ago and are the sole support of dependent families. Bo long as the Government has made no provision for the care of these dependents, it is natural that such drafted men should seek to pro- tect their loved ones by staying at home, I am sure that if the Congress should promptly ensct the pending war insurance bill, which makes defi- nite allowance for the support of the dependent wives and children, fathers or mothers, of our soldiers and sailors claims for exemption on that score will cease. This Is an Important duty of the Government. We cannot de- prive helpless women and children of the support of the wage-earne: by forcing bim into the military service of the country unless the Government substitutes itself as their support, Imegine the emotions of a man who is called into military service of his country with full knowledge that hie loved ones are left without means of support and may be reduced to want unless the charity of the community in which they live comes to thelr re- lief. It would be nothing less than a crime for a rich and just Goveroment to trea! ite fighting men so heartless and to subject their dependent wives and children, who are unable to fight, to greater ruflering than if they could | and Mrs. G.
