This afternoon Hon. Joseph W. Folk, ex-Governor of Missouri, will give | one of the splendid talks for which he is | famed all over the country. Prior to his talk the Varkony-Hines company will give a half hour concert. The Chautauqua opened last Saturday afternoon with an automobile parade of the Junior Chautauqua, which was quite | a feature. Capt. Robert F. Hunter chief marshalled the pageant and about fif- teen machines filled to overflowing with ladies and children were in line. Mrs. Bertha Smith-Titus has been the superintendent in charge of the Chau- tauqua this year and has proven very ca- pable in her position. Her afternoon talks have been on Chautauqua work as an uplift for any community, discussed from a moral, civic and economic stand- point. Last Saturday evening Chauncey J. Hawkins delighted a large audience with his illustrated lecture on “Bright Eyes and Wild Hearts of Our Northern Woods,” giving something entirely dif- ferent from his lecture here a year ago. Mr. Hawkins, who is also a reverend, preached in the Chautauqua tent on Sunday evening. Bennett Springer, the magician, and his Chautauqua entertainers, were con- sidered very interesting by the audi- ences which saw and heard them on Monday afternoon and evening; Mr. Springer being especially clever in some of his slight of hand performances. The big attraction for Tuesday was Paul M. Pearson’s lecture-recital in the evening on “Who is Great?” His theme was based on the selection of Noted Americans for the Hall of Fame and he told why those already selected had been chosen and cited numerous instances of greatness where the hero was passed by unrecognized. Mr. Pearson pleased his audience very much. Another feature of Tuesday's program was the superb playing of the Crawford Adams Trio. Mr. Adams is really a wizard on the vio- lin, being able to literally make it talk, while his piano accompanist was a genius worth hearing. The music lovers had their inning on Wednesday in the two concerts by Prof. Colangelo’s Italian band of twenty pieces. It was a splendid musical organization and their solo selections were especially appreciated. Yesterday the Boston Oratorio artists appeared both afternoon and evening, pleasing their audiences with some of the old time songs as well as some by modern song writers. Last evening Montaville Flowers lectured on “Rebuild- ing the Temple,” but the WATCHMAN went to press too early to give a criti- cism of his lecture. All in all the Chautauqua was not as successful this year as it was last year or the year before. Various causes may have contributed to this fact. There has been so much doing in Bellefonte this summer that the general public did not get aroused to the right degree of inter- est in the Chautauqua. Another factor which might be cited is the lateness of the harvest season among the farmers. Last year between "forty and fifty farm. ers purchased season tickets and were regular attendants. This year but two tickets were purchased by one farmer. The result was an inability to make ; up the guarantee by about three hun- !dred dollars. This amount was ap- portioned among the guarantors, or to be exact, among that number of them who did not flunk out for one reason or another, and all paid up. Notwithstanding the fact that the guar- antors had todig down in their pockets and contribute $3.33 each to make up the guarantee an eftort is being made to bring the Chautauqua back next year, Up to last evening pledges were given for 272 tickets and 27 men and women had signed as guarantors, while five oth- ers sent word that they would sign as guarantors. This is considered very fa- vorable toward securing a sufficient quantity of both ticket pledgers and guarantors, although the outcome will not be known until after the final meet- ing this evening. Ee CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA MOTOR CLUB, —Automobile owners from Tyrone, Al- toona. Huntingdon, State College and Philipsburg met in Tyrone on Monday evening and effected a preliminary or- ganization of the Central Pennsylvania Motor club, which will include motorists i from Blair, Huntingdon and Centre coun- ties. One of the questions under consid- eration is the placing of guide posts along the various highways and at cross roads. | The proposition under consideration is to have the boards painted different colors. For example: Between Altoona ‘and Tyrone the sign board will be white; ! between Tyrone and Bellefonte red; be- ' tween Bald Eagle and Philipsburg, yel- .low, or some other color, so that all motorists will have to do is follow a cer- tain color of sign board to reach the des- tination desired. The route committee | selected to have charge of placing the ' boards is composed of H. M. Gray, Ty- rone, chairman; J. B. Heberling, State College; E. E. Gibbs, Huntingdon; H. McD. Loraine, Philipsburg; Robert F. Hunter, Bellefonte, and J. Emory Shute, Altoona. eee ——A twenty foot addition to the water works smoke stack was built by Lew Wallace this week. Monday at the House of Lords on Nitta- ny mountain, while strolling through the woods, walked right up to a mother pheasant with twelve young birds about the size of a pigeon. The birds were feeding on huckleberries and were not very wild. If this is a sample of the pheasant hatchings this year the birds ought to be quite plentiful when hunting season opens. ——When tired out with the cares of business or housekeeping try an evening at the Scenic. Nothing like it in Belle- fonte to drive away the blues and make you forget all your troubles. High class motion pictures and a change of program each evening. Tragedy, drama, comedy and travel scenes, a variation wide enough to suit all patrons. Never over ten cents for the biggest features, with five cents for the regular program. ——Wahile shifting the Atlantic City specials around near the Pennsylvania railroad depot, early Monday morning, one truck of a coach left the track at the switch just south of the baggage room, being shoved along over one hun- dred feet before the train could be stop- ped. While the track was not torn up, the car was damaged to some extent and the signal apparatus put out of commis- sion. The wreck train from Tyrone re- paired the damage. ——Don’t overlook the fact that to- morrow will be the day for the Ben Greet players at State College, matinee in the afternoon and a performance at night. The “Taming of the Shrew” will be the program for the afternoon and “Twelfth Night” in the evening. Weather per- mitting both plays will be given on the front campus. This will afford a good opportunity for automobilists to make the trip to the College and take in one or both of the above performances. ——While James L. McGonigal, of Pot- tersdale, and Samuel Briel, of Karthaus, were on their way from Karthaus to Snow Shoe in the former's Ford car, last Friday morning, the car caught fire. Both men fought the flames and suc- ceeded in extinguishing them but not be- fore the top was burned off and the body badly scarred. Both men were badly | burned on the hands and were compelled to seek the services of a physician be- fore they could continue their journey to Lock Haven by train. ee a ——The subscription dance given by the young people of Bellefonte, in the armory last Thursday evening, proved a pronounced success. Guests were pres- ent from Lock Haven, Altoona, Tyrone, Lewistown, Snow Shoe and State Col- lege, making up one of the largest gather- ings that has attended such a select dance in Bellefonte in a number of years. The music of the Wright Saxaphone or- chestra, of Columbus, Ohio, was an in- novation in Bellefonte dances that prov- ed quite a diversion from the customary orchestra selections. ——Just 545 tickets were sold at the Bellefonte depot Saturday for the excur- sion to Atlantic City over the Pennsyl- vania railroad. In fact the first section of the train was completely filled and did not stop anywhere for excursionists after leaving Bellefonte. The second section went out of Bellefonte with ten cars drawn by two engines. At Lemont 197 tickets were sold and every station down Pennsvalley contributed a good quota. The first section arrived in Atlantic City at 5.30 o'clock Sunday morning. Return- ing the train left the sea shore at five o’clock Sunday evening and arrived in Bellefonte at 1.30 Monday morning. No accidents occurred to mar the trip. oe — —Farmers in some portions of Cen- tre county, at least, are up against a serious proposition on account of the continued wet weather. The showers are so frequent and hard that the wheat don’t get a chance to dry sufficient to haul into the barn and there is grave danger of it starting to grow in the shock. Then the oats is ready to cut but the crop is so heavy that the hard rains have knocked down big patches of it, so that it will be hard to cut. The lucky farmers are those who did not cut their grass before harvesting. The wet weather has kept it green and growing and the yield now will be from one to two tons an acre more than it would have been had it been cut a month ago. Both corn and potatoes are looking fine, but warmer weather and not so much rain would be better all around for the farmer. a ——Tomorrow, July 31st, will mark the close of the trout fishing season in Pennsylvania and it did not prove to be over-fruitful with results in this section. The season opened with low streams and unusually clear water and when rain did come there was so much of it that the streams have been too high and most of the time quite cloudy ever since. At that a number of nice catches were made by fishermen who were persistent enough to spend lots of time on the good trout streams. And the trout that weren't caught will be there to help out the stock next year. And now that the trout season is about over,and the thoroughbred sports- man begins to pack away his rod and line until next season rolls around, there is a strong probability that he will look up his hunting paraphernalia, as the very fact that County Treasurer John D. Miller has received his hunters’ licenses shows that the hunting season will be here before we realize it. ES ——A party of Bellefonters who spent ! DESTRUCTIVE STORM.—Centre county was visited by three terrific rain storms on Monday afternoon and evening which not only put the farmers back another day in their harvesting but caused con- siderable damage in some parts of the county. The afternoon storm was ac- companied by a large amount of hail in some sections of the county, especially along Nittany mountain and down Nit- tany valley. The oats were knocked flat to the ground and corn fields riddled. Up the Fishing creek Narrows hail fell as large as walnuts and in such abund- ance that camping parties aver it could be scooped up by the handful. In that section even the leaves on the trees were torn in shreds by the hail. In little Sugar valley the rain and hail storm was the most terrific and destruc. tive witnessed there in years. It lasted for a half hour or over and during all that time hail fell as large as black wal- nuts, practically destroying the oats and corn. promising in that valley they were so damaged by the hail that only a small per cent of the crops can be saved. At Clintondale the residence of J. L. Rachau, the miller, was struck by light- | ning which ripped the weather boards off the north side of the building, tore down : the moulding and plaster, leaving the rooms on the first floor covered with debris. The concrete top on the cistern was broken into bits but fortunately the lightning bolt was what is generally term- | ed a “cold stroke,” and no fire followed. Mr. R, Mrs. Rachau was in and although she was she escaped serious inj an upstairs room slightly stunned ury. NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Miss Henrietta Baldwin, of Mifflin, is a guest of Mrs. James A.
