The various committees had noth- ing of special moment to report. Under the head of old business the question of an increase in the salary of the street commissioner was taken up.

The original program was to assemble at the Presby- terian church and march to the school building but the rain prevented and also interfered with the attendance.

Schmidt, who gave a talk on the proceedings of the world’s Sunday school convention held in Washington recently and which he attended as a delegate. The Lutheran church choir was present and furnished the principal part of the music though there were several solos by others. ——Farmers throughout Centre county will have no cause to complain of their hay crop this year. The wet, cool weath- er has been exceedingly favorable for grass of all kinds and the clover crop is exceedingly fine. In fact it is the largest grown in Centre county in years. There are plenty of fields in the county in which the clover is three foot tall and over and stands very thick on the ground. Timothy is of course not as far advanced as clover but as it has six weeks or more yet to grow it alsopromises a large yield of hay. With a few days of warm weather the clo- ver will be in condition to cut and it will not be long now until hay making will be in full swing. The wheat crop is also look- ing quite well all over the county. While it isnot very tall it is heading unusually large so that the yield in grain should be a fair one at least. | stone steps with the result that his foot | ©SPecially give it the proper financial slipped off and he turned his ankle. | And as a starter a ball game will be played on Hughes field this (Fri- day) afternoon, as a baseball benefit, that ought to be a big winner.

This was probably the most important thing done at the meet- | ing of the Woman's club last Friday after- noon. The ladies met in Petriken hall and about fifty enrolled their names as mem- bers of the new club. The various com- | mittees were filled out and the intent and ' purposes of the club thoroughly discuss- ed. Then the matter of a safe and sane celebration of the Fourth of July was ; brought up and it was decided that this {would be a good move for the club to take a leading part in. So they have | called a public mass meeting to be held in | the High school room, new building, this ' (Friday) evening at eight o'clock when it | is hoped some definite arrangements and ' plans can be effected whereby the Fourth can be appropriately and patriotically celebrated without the dangers hereto- , fore attendant upon the explosion of fire- ‘works. Now don't be afraid of the ladies, but attend the meeting and do what you can to help along this com- mendable undertaking. ——Dr. and Mrs. Thomas R.
