Since that time they bave been making their home in Bellefonte, and! while it was rumored on several occasions that the wedding bad taken piace the facts never leaked ont until an announce- ment was made Friday. The bride is a daughter of the late Wm, Jones of Bellefonte, and for a number of years has been employed as collector for the Bellefonte Electric company, a position which she filled satisfactorily to employer and patrons. The groom for some time bas been in the employ of the Bellefonte Lumber Co. and isa well known promis- ing young man, HARPER— PHILIPS. —George W. Harper, of Harrisburg, and Miss Lota Elliott Philips, a trained purse of Philipsburg, were quietly married at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Davidson, in the latter place at 9.30 o'clock Tuesday morning.

Harris’ office, taken in and carried him to the home of the Hon. Harry Cartin, at Cortin’s Works. It was an emergency call, for while sitting at the dinner table Mr. Cartin was seized with a peculiar affection that rendered him entire. ly speechless. It was at first feared he had suffered a slight paralytic stroke bus the trouble passed off within an hour or #0 and except for a rather restless night be is fair- ly well today. ————— ——On Tharsday of Last week Frank Barnes, of Pleasant Gap, son of Robert Barnes, night watchman at the Brooker- hoff house, contracted what was at first believed to be a case of tetanus, or lockjaw, #0 that be conld nos open his jaws until Monday when the physicians located and lanced an abscess on the inside of the lower jaw which gave the young man relief and he is now getting along all right. Thirty-five members of the Logan fire company with the Coleville band of twenty-five pieces went to Philipsburg yesterday afternoon by way of the Cen- tral Pennsylvania and New York Central railroad to attend the annual convention of the Central Pennsylvania Distriot Fire- men’s association. They will participate in the parade to-day but are not entered in any of the contests. and ——The engagement of Miss Jennie Breese, of Downingtown, to Mr. Joseph Baker, of Philadelphia, has been announc- ed. Spring Mille. We have had no birthday parties for over two weeks, how's that? J. B. Bellerjean of Buffalo, N. Y., made a visit here of a day or two last week. H. H.

Duck, one of our venerable citizens, has concluded to discontinue housekeeping, and will dispose of all his household goods at public sale on Saturday next. At his residence on Tuesday evening last, W. O. Gramley entertained his large class of Sunday school scholars very agreeably. Re- freshments of a dainty character were duly served, and all the young Misses report have ing had a delightful entertainment, : Some sections of the Stxte report the fail- ure of the potato crop, and continued depres: sion of business. No doubt the “grand old party” will attribute these misfortunes to the prevailing opinion that Mr. Bryan will be the next President. Mr. Roosevelt's proxy might just as well withdraw. J. C. Condo has added another very great improvement to his property by removing two huge trees that stood close to his portico, continually closing the spouting and pre- venting the escape of water. Their removal vot only avoids that nuisance, but adds generally to the appearance of his residence. The cement coping in front, surmounted with a very handsome iron railing now shows off to advantage. Mr. Condo has also improved the salesroom of the carriage works giving more space for the greater dis: play of vehicles. Notwithstanding the great depression of business prevailing for the lust six months the works have n ran- ning on very nearly full time, and during the spring and summer did a very satisluc- tory business.

The story was first published in the Satur- day Evening Post and on Tuesday was con- firaied in a special dispatch to the Phila- North American. The facts are worth reading and are as follows : Discovery of the new wheat came about through one of she ‘‘accidents’’ which make the story of the world’s progress in every field as interesting as fiction. The Saturday Evening Post's article says the magic kernels were found in Alaska by the Idaho farmer while prospecting for gold. The North American's report says that they were sent from that country by a friend of the farmer. But the important fact is that they have beeo planted, and the yield barvested and replanted twice, so that the production of 100 to 200 bushels per acre is a proved fact. Abraham Adams is the farmer. He ex- peots to clear $1,000,000 this year from his 700-acre farm in Adabo Juliaetta, Idaho. He estimates his crop at 70,000 to 75,000 hushels and is selling it for seed at $20 a bushel. His son-in-law, O. K. Hobe, a wholesale lumber dealer of Minneapolis, is interested with him. Mr. Adams was a lumberman, hat six years ago took up farming, and with fair crops of ‘‘olub’ and ‘‘bluae-stem’’ wheat made a moderate success. Ino 1903 be—or a friend of his, according to one report— went to Alaska, lured by the tales of hid- den gold. The prospeotor explored she lonely land for hundreds of miles. Final- ly he reached a sheltered district near the coast where timber was heavy and the low- lands were covered with lush grasses. One day while tramping he came across a patch of yellowing green which reminded bim queerly of growing wheat. He went closer and found it was wheat. More from curiosity shan anything else, he hunted for a head to send home to the “States.” Birds bad eaten most of the grain, but at lass he came across a head and plucked it. Its size and apparently perfect form amazed him. The was nearly four inches long and beavily bearded. The kernels numbered three or four times as many as those of ordinary wheat, and each was nearly as large as a coffee pean. It was in the fall of 1904 that Adams planted the seeds from Alaska in the back yard of his Idabo ranch. The next spring he gathered a shea! of big heads which yielded seven pounds of gale. Seven pounds of grain from ove b sown. Moreover, the kernels, four times as large as those of the best wheat he bad grown hitherto, were firm and oream white. Adame was fairly startled, but he said nothing. He thought it would be a idea to try the new seed for spring w and in the spring of 1906 he sowed seven pounds of she hig kernels. From those seven pounds he barvested in the autumn 1545 poands of grain. The ratio of yield —the new wheat being much heavier than the ordinary varieties—was 222 bushels to the acre. irty bushels an acre is considered a good crop of ‘‘club’’ or “blae stem.’ In the fall of 1906 Adams sowed his 1545 podnds of the new seed alongside of plaot- ngs of the ordinary varieties, and gave them the same attention. Unripened heads plucked on the same day showed an as- tonishing difference. The head of Alaska wheat was nearly five times as large as the other, with proportionately large kernels. From the 1545 pounds of seed Adams bar- vested 53,000 pounds of grain. Moreover, he found that the new variety was far stiffer and stronger in the straw than she ordiary kind. A hailstorm which beat down the ‘‘club’’ wheat hardly damaged the Alaska field. The next step was to discover the eco- nomio value of the wheat, and Adams sub- mitted samples to the Idaho experimental station. I. Shirley Jones, the chemist in charge, examined the samples and made this report : “The kernels from the fall-sown wheat were plump and sound, and doubtless will grade No. Judging from the chemical and physical condition of this sample it will probably take rank with the best grade of ‘blue stem’ for flour. “The sample grown from spring sown wheat showed by chemical analysis a some- what higher protein content (this being an indication of its probable strength for hread-making purposes. ) “I am inclined to think that the wheat that you have here is the equal, if not the superlor, of our ‘blue stew’ for flonr-mak- ing purposes. I should like to make a mill test whenever yon can send me a sufficient quantity for that purpose.’’ Mr. Adams has also tested his wheat by sending samples to be planted by friends in different parts of the country. In Alabama the seed from a single head was planted last December, and, as in Idaho, the yield was seven pounds. _—— News of the wonderfal new wheat has interested the Department of Agriculture in Washington, and W. M. Jardine, agron- omist on dry land and cereals, will visit the Adams ranch to inspect the product. Is is difficult to grasp what a yield of 200 bushels of wheat per acre would mean in the conntry. Snch a harvest, if universal, would have made the wheat production of the United States last year 5,000,000,000 bushels. At only 50 cents per bushel this would bave added $2,500,000,000 to the wealth of the American farmer. Old Home Week at Renovo.
