24. BEDFORD, FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1918 ESTABLISHED IN 1805 SIMS.WELETTC (continued from last week) I left Bedford one day headed for New Beuna Vista in Juniata township to see what was over there. I went hy the H. which means Lincoln Highway toward Wolfsburg. I didn't stop to talk to any one till in sight of Wolfsburg when I stopped a colored man to ask him about a road that led toward the mountain.

I ask him where that road went to He had a stammering in his speech and was' slow to answer but finally he stam-1 mered out "D-d dat road do-dont go any where it j-ji-jist lays right there' all de year round. It jis-jist don't go nowhere That explanation was very satisfactory and I drove on. i Then I stopped at a house by the pike I and asked who lived there: the lady said that Mr. Wolf lived there. asked if he was the man Wolfsburg i was named after.

She laughed and said no-Wolfsburg was born, before he was." It was named after i his forefather or some other Wolf. I asked if she was 'Mrs. Wolf and she said she was. I told her she was some one else-before marriage and was now in "Wolf's clothing" but she didn't catch the significance so I left while times were good. I got through Wolfsburg safe.

There were several old duffers sitting in the shade talking about the primaries and the Kaiser. I didn't tarry for I am no voter in Bedford county--too young, I passed along the L. H. W. till I saw a man shelling corn.

I stopped to interview him as he looked kind of familiar. It proved to be Sherman 8 Amick formerly from Clearville Monroe township He had bought a farm over there in which he is getting rich. Any how he has an automobile, something which mo one owned in Monroe township forty years agp. Next fellow I hailed was John Delancy who lives in a stone house that looks mighty dangerous to live. It may do to die in though if it falls on him some stormy day or night.

I stopped at a hiuse at the junction of the Mann's Choice and Schellsburg roads and spoke to her about the! Gazette. "No she said "I am Republician" 1 told her I had heard of publicans and Re-publicans be-! fofe. Daniel Kirchner formerly near I Hyndman was working there. He' earns his bread by the sweat of his brow according to scripture and will have his reward. I stopped over night at the home of George Knipple.

He sweats some too for a living. Stopping at Mrs. Annie Miller's dogs greeted me very cordially. They: only have seven five oi them not old enough to register for taxes. S.

J. Herline was hauling farmers shoe polish for his living. A farmer can do well at that business if he manages right. It causes good roasting ears to grow besides some other good things too. I turned up through the suburb of Mann's Choice called "Leechville" noted for its pretty women.

The men work at the tannery and perhaps bring home some fleshings which makes rosy cheeks grow. Anyhow the women look lovely. I passed on till I reached Sulphur Springs when it was time to eat. This a lovely place. A nice hotel in a beautifully shaded location, every place looking cool as a cucumber, cleon and healthy, and that fine Sulphur water to drink.

If I was rich enough I would board there all the hot summer. It certainly is enticing. Mr. Colvin the propietor needs some more girls to i help cook and take care of the guests' He pays good wages too. Wish I was a.

girl so I could go there to work, eat drink and sleep. Its good for ones wholesome. I called to see Grandmother Sarah May but she was out somewhere and I was sorry to miss seing the old girl again. She is STyears young and keeps young by reading the Gazette and the ''Hogwallow News" which is the proper thing to do. Passing on out through the northern portion of Milligan's Cove it kept raining and raining and the women were Many were picking lettuce and pull-; ing onions and other garden sass.

turned and went down through the gap to Buffalo Mills to pull George i Hillegasses latch string which is al-i ways hanging out. "The Jjatchstruig" Some young people may not know significance of the latch hanging out. In olden times d'oor, latches were made of wood the latch was so constructed that by pulling! the latch string from the outside the door could be opened but if the' latch string was pulled inside the door was locked to an outsider and he couldn't get in till some one in-1 side opened the door. When people were not desired on the inside the string was pulled inside. When thei latch string was outside it meant come in.

You didn't need to knock. or ring a bell like we have to do now. You will have to see one of these; wooden latches to fully understand. Its make up but it was without metal! fixtures and cost little but the work, It was primary election day and i Kie Brown was the head push on the board. There were three Browns on the board but Kie was the only one with brown stripes up his back, like a ground squirrel.

He may get them i off some time after this war is over. I He has a nice wife. I stopped at Bard, Tom Kidwell has a store there. He made no ati tempt to arrest or make me afraid i Hke he did at Fossilville about 25 years ago, but he says that was Henry Logue's fault. I didn't call to sea Txigue this trip.

He has gotten a ew wife and I never saw her. Logue 'may have her trained to arrest strangers. "Safety first" is the motto notr a days. She might got scare so easy when a man puts his hand to his hip pocket for his handkerchief. I drove over to Dan-May's above 18 BOYS LEFT LAST SATURDAY.

TOLL OF DEATHS NOW 58. BEDFORD COUNTY VETERAN REUNION To be held in Bedford, Penna. on! Flag-day, Friday, June 14th, 1918. All Veterans and Patriotic citizens; are cordially invited to attend, and meet at the Court-House at 10.30 a. m.

sharp, where-afte the Veteran Association is called to order. They will be addressed by Reverend Rob't J. Allen of Everett, Pa. Veterans will meet at Railroad Depot at 10 a. m.

All Patriotic citizens having automobiles are requested to meet them at depot at that hour, and haul the old Veterans to the Hartley Bank where the proefession will be formed and march to Court-House. By order of H. C. Robinson, Pres. Bedford Co.

Veteran Association. The German submarine warfare has reached American waters and succeeded on last Sunday night in i sinking three steamers and four schooners, manned with about 1000 people and later on Tuesday, June 4, they had found that one more steamer and three schooners had beerT disabled by submarine attacks. A government air-o-plane discovered Monday morning life boats on the sea filled with people and made the report for help when it was found that the submarines had gotten in their work. It has been known to the government, it is alleged, that sub- marines have been lurking in the vicinity of Jersey, Maryland and Virginia coasts but no alarm was taken at these reports. The loss, so far, is but 58 lives, enough of course, but so few in comparison to the effort that there is no gre? cause for alarm.

New York is taking precautions against an air raid by having lightless nights and Philadelphia and! Baltimore will likely follow the samel course, as these large cities make splendid targets for the enemy in the I air. It is a campaign that Germany I will likely fall down on just as it has around England. The advance in France has been checked by the red- blooded American troops so that it is conceded that the German drive on its second attempt is a failure The people are remaining stable in their confidence in the government to beat the Germans to it, and we will. TICKET VALUES For Example Take These Pour Attractions. AMERICAN RED CROSS Comfort Knits The matter of Comfort Knits is quite pressing.

The present plan which is considered best is to give a Kit to all men as they embark at the Atlantic Ports. This is much more important than to equip the draftees with a Kit as they leave their home towns for the training camps, and it is hoped the different Chapters will at once send all their Comfort Kits to the place designated by Headquarters instead of shipping to the Division Warehouse. All draftees will ultimately get a Kit but Kits should not given to them now when men embarking need the Kits much more. We hope that one and all will appreciate the priority of this ruling. W.

H. SOLOMON, Executive Secretary. PLYING MACHINE PASSED BACK EAST Last Tuesday morning early the flying machine which went west by Huntingdon and Altoona a couple weeks ago passed back East -over Bedford County. From our correspondents we glean that it passed near New Paris, Spring Hope, Cessna, Imlertown, Cypher, slightly north of the Lincoln Highway. It was not high and contained at least one person sailing an American flag.

WEST VIRGINIA MUST PAY VIRGINIA The U. S. Supreme Court handed down a decision that West Virginia must pay old Virginia as a part divy with interest accumulated all these years, on a public debt when both states were as one. The part W. will have to pay is $12,400,000 but the authorities are up against the proposition of how to make West Virginia come across.

The state seems obstinate. Bedford Man Succeeds A. H. Charles R. Mock, Prothonotor of! Bedford County has been appointed chairman of the Bedford county Na-1 tional Savings Committee, to take the place fthe late A.

He was a statesman, rator, and noted writer. He served during Roosevelt's I administration and took the oath 1 office 1905. He was a candidate in the last campaign with Hughes but was defeated by Thomas R. Marshall, both from the state. 1 BIG PENSION BILL PASSED WASHINGTON, June 4--The Civil War Pension Increase Bill was passed today by the Senate 36 to 22.

It amends the House bill by increasing the minimum monthly pension to, those who served ninety days from! $25 to $30, and provides pensions 1 $32 to $40 a month, according to 1 length of service, for those of seventy-two years or older. The bill would increase the pen- sion roll by $35,000,000 a year. Bard. Mrs May would only subscribe I for the Gazette if I would stay for dinner. She thought I wouldn't she knows better now.

W. Snyder. Is a Chautauqua Ticket worth That's the question we want every man to answer for himself; and in answering it, to consider a few FACTS. We will have FIFTEEN or more high grade, but distinctly different attractions in the full 6-days' program. They will consist in musical companies, entertainers and lecturers all top-notch quality; in fact the very best the Chautauqua affords (and Chautauqua audiences are a finely discriminating lot, you may be sure.) In this statement, we are asking you to consider but FOUR of the fifteen or more attractions.

They are of an entirely different type, doing altogether different work and about the only respect in which they are similar is in the fact that they are all making good in a very big way; and to hear Cfhe- '-them- -would be worth the whole cost of the ticket. Here are their names: Sergeant Geo. E. Nightingane, Judge Geo. D.

Alden, Dean Arthur Holmes and Dr. S. C. Schmucker. Sergeant Nightingale's Subject will be on the following topics: "On the First Line; "Without Bombs or Artillery Support;" "The Belgian "First Gas Attacks on the Western Front; "Bombing Raids and Counter Attacks;" "Trench Life;" "Part Played by the Artillery;" "No Man's and Their Uses;" "Life in the Hospital;" "Care of the Wounded on the Field;" "The Handling of Prisoners;" and "A Statesman's Outlook on the Great World War." Judge George D.

Alden is decended from New England Puritan stock, and representative of its best traits and traditions. He is a power upon the platform. Possessed of a keen, incisive legal mind and with all a Puritan's deep-seated abhorrence of sham, he deals sledge-hammer blows at the present day evils and petty meannesses. He is a ready wit and is exceedingly entertaining. His adroit logic disarms those whom he flays mercilessly with his ridicule and satire.

He has been a prominent figure in Lyceum and Chautauqua work for more than fifteen years. This experience has added to his wealth and "natural ability, and renders him a most pleasing and at the same time helpful lecturer and popular entertainer. Dean Arthur Holmes--Eminent Educator, Author and Lecturer, is at present Dean of the Pennsylvania State College and has under his supervision over three-thousand young men. He has been an extensive traveler, and given much study to German philosophy and education. You may expect to hear him discuss the subject "Preparing our Young People for their Future Responsibility" and give the causes why Germany made her bold attempt to rule the world.

Every patriot should hear him. Dr. S. Schmucker is one of America's naturalists and scientists "Whos Who In America" says that he was born at Allentown, was graduated from Muhlenberg College and received his Ph. D.

at the University of Pennsylvania. He will speak to you on the afternoon and evening of the third day. He will analyze the meaning of a flower. He will do it so gently and beautifully, and apply the lessons to human life so aptly that you will be held completely within his grasp Now, there are your four--about one-fifth of your program, or perhaps as much as 40 cents' worth. Is it worth the price? Then--buy your tickets TODAY-of the Chautauqua secretary or some member of the Chautauqua association.

We'll look for you there and your family too. Complete Government Control of Public Utilities. The government will likely take over all telephone, cable and radio stations'. This becomes inperative in these war times to prevent any leak to the enemy. WILLIAM M.

Lay ton, fnear Mattie, died, in the Roaring Spring Hosuital after undergoing an operation the last i March returning home for a few) weeks and having been taken back to the hospital on June He was born in Everett, June 19, 1835, and was the son of John a Sophia (Mearkle) Layton and was reared untill' or 16 years old on a farm near Gapsville when his father; bought the place near Stephen's' Chapel.

The' Democratic County Committee met in the Court House last Monday in answer to a Call of the 7ouaty Chairman for the purpose of electing for the ensuing year a Chairman, treasurer secretaries and five members of the executive committee Attorney Emory D.

Claar, was reelected chairman and was made treasurer for the next year, Jo W. Tate and M. W. Corle were elected secretaries and F. E.

Colvin, W. F. Bnfield, R. H. Kay, Nevin Diehl, and E.

W. Light were elected members of the executive committee. There was some contest on for treasurer but since Dr. Walter F. Enfield didn't want it he withdrew and Emory Claar, the chairman was When the niminations came for Executive committee seven candidates were named.

A great many were surprised to learn that Dr. Walter F. Enfield wanted that too. That wasn't fair and right. He shouldn't have sprung that on the convention.

It was such a'Burprise. It -wasn't fair-. The-n he wrote his own name on the ballots and left the others off. That wasn't fair and right either, He should have left every delegate write his own ballots, without any assistance and begging. It wasn't treating Dr.

Campbell right to have just Enfleld's name on the 'ballot written by himself. But of course Dr. Campbell doesn't care. He's like the Doctor. He didn't want it.

They are both in the same boat. Neither one wanted it. A great deal of complaint has been launched in the rural districts of the county against all the officers and candidates of the county coming from Bedford. Heretofore the whole county organization has been located in Bedford. At this meeting an effort was made to divide up the organization somewhat as best we could to have the county represented on the executive Committee.

In pursuance of this R. H. Kay of Saxton was nominated Dr. F. S.

Campbell of Hopewell, Nevin Diehl of Bedford township, F. E. Colvin nf Bedford Borough and E. W. Light of Hyndman, Mr.

Kay, Mr. Diehl, Mr. Colvin and Mr. Light were elected on the first ballot, Dr. Enfield and Dr.

Campbell: making a tie and on the second ballot' Dr. Enfield defeated Dr. Campbell, thus thwarting the ambition of the country districts but as Shakespeare puts it, "Its not as deep as aJ well, nor wide as a garn door but tis enough and 'twill do" and we will go I ahead with the campaign just thei same to win the victory this fall and put the Smith--Penrose contringe'it out of running so that they wont have a reasons to file exemptions to serve' their country. On motion of Mr. Matt, of Everett 1 a committee was drawn to adopt I strong resolutions endorsing the administration the successful promega-; tion of the war anrl ple.lge of loyalty to the president, Woodrow Wilson.

Mr. Layton was a great worker, a jolly good fellow and a friend everybody. He was kind and clever i to everybody, rich and poor alike, and would sacrifice most any posses-: sion to help a poor neighbor in dis-l tress, but when he made up his mind on a question he possessed adamant! will power to stay to it. He was widely known throughout that section I as a farmer of strength and ability and most every body knew Mr. Lay-1 ton.

Frank W. Jordan, Special Agent. In the window of Jordan's Drug Store on E. Pitt Street, there is displayed a double-page advertisement from a current issue of a great national weekly that brings the war on the sea directly home to this section, and to the store where the advertisement appears. The proprietor of the store has a personal interest in the advertisement also, for it relates to war work that he is doing for the Government.

Furthermore, he helped pay for it. The advertisement asks for 50,000 men, between 21 and 30, for service' in the new Merchant Marine. In the language of its headline, it offers' "50,000 jobs at sea" to clean-cut young Americans. It states that the U. S.

Shipping Board will give them special training before putting them into actual sea service, carrying sup-' plies to our armies and Allies in the fighting fields of Europe. So much 1 importance is attached to this that men acepted for it are exempted i from a call to military duty. At Jordan's Drug Store young men! may now 'sign on' for training and subsequent sea duty in the U. S. Mer- chant i The personal interset of Mr.
