——The Altoona Tribune says:
“Expansion of the business of the

The office will be located on the Dia-
mond and will be in charge of M.
Clair Doyle, formerly employed at the
Pennsylvania railroad clearing house.
‘The company has handled a large
number of deals recently involving
transfers of Centre county farm
lands, and it is with the intention of
largely increasing this business that
the new office will be opened.”
THE GRANGE ENCAMPMENT.
Many Tenters at Centre Hall Gather-
ing and Big Line of Exhibits.
The transient patronage of the
Grange encampment at Centre Hall,
the people who ordinarily go there in
the morning and home in the evening,
has not been as large this year as in
former years, but that fact has not
detracted in the interest of the gath-
ering so far as the farmers and their
families are concerned. There are
more tenters this year than ever be-
fore and the big bulk of them are
Centre county farmers and their
friends, and it is for their benefit the
encampment is held.
The line of exhibits this year is on
a par with former years. In fact,
some departments are even better.
This is true of the stock exhibit and
also in the fruit and produce line.
The fruit exhibit is exceptionally fine,
notwithstanding the fact that this has
not been a very good year for fruit.
The farm implement exhibit is about
equal to other years while the exhib-
it of automobiles and accessories is
much larger than any ever shown at
Grange park.
The picnic was informally opened
as early as last Friday when tenters
began to make their appearance on
the ground and by Saturday evening
many of the tents were filled. A
good-sized crowd was in attendance
at the Harvest Home services on Sun-
day afternoon, which were conducted
by Rev. John H. Keller, of the Re-
Reformed church of China Grove, N.
C. Monday was entirely devoted to
receiving and placing exhibits and the
large force in charge of the work were
kept busy all day. In fact this work
was not fully completed until Tues-
day morning.
The encampment was officially
opened on Tuesday with addresses by
members of the county Grange. The
crowd on Wednesday was probably
the smallest that has been present on
that day in a number of years. A
small admission fee of twenty-five
cents has been charged this year, for
which sum a ticket good for the week
could be had, and whether this fact
has mitigated against a larger attend-
ance is, of course, problematical. It
is altogether likely, however, that the
decreased attendance can be ascribed
to other causes. While the speakers
for Wednesday and yesterday were
all able men, their talks were confin-
ed principally to matters of interest
to members of the Grange and farm-
ers generally and the general public,
that is men and women who ordinari-
ly attend such gatherings when the
program includes as a drawing card
one or more speakers of national rep-
utation, were not attracted there this
year on that account.
But notwithstanding these facts the
encampment has been a success view-
ed from the farmer’s standpoint and
if the men and women who originated
the Granger's picnic forty-six years
ago eawld have been there this week
they “Avould have been ionderfully
impredsed ‘with the result of ‘their in-
itial movement.
(HSTOCK-JUDGING CONTEST.
The stock-judging contest for boys
and girls on Wednesday proved an in-
teresting feature of the encampment.
Quite a number of boys and girls took
part and the prize winners with the
points scored are as follows:
First prize, purebred Berkshire pig,
won by Robert Neff, of Centre Hall,
with a score of 225 points.
Second prize, $5.00, John Goodhart,
Spring Mills, 225 points.
Third prize, $4.00, Sarah Goodhart,
Spring Mills, 224 points.
Fourth prize, $3.00, Glenn Wasson,
Lemont, 218 points.
Fifth prize, $2.00, John Stuart, 217
points.
Sixth prize, $1.00, Roy Markle, 216
points.
Aviator Gilbert B. Budwig was ex-
pected to spend several days at the
park this week showing the Grangers
how to fly high and incidentally take
all comers on a little trip through the
air at the rate of a dollar a minute,
but up to yesterday noon he had not
made his appearance on the grounds
after his initial flight of Monday.
That afternoon he flew over the moun-
tain to see about the condition and fa-
cilities of a landing field and learning
that Miss Nancy Hunter was going
over to see about her vocational school
exhibit he very generously invited her
to accompany him. Having been up
in the machine with Mr. Budwig on a
previcus occasion, when she exper-
ienced the loop-the-loop, falling leaf
and a number of other thrills, she
very promptly accepted the invitation
and accompanied pilot Budwig to
Centre Hall Monday afternoon. They
came to earth in a field adjoining
Grange park and created considerable
excitment among the people at the
picnic, most of whom flocked to the
field where the aeroplane was parked
and viewed the monster of the air.
Pilot Budwig and Miss Hunter spent
about an hour at the park then taking
the air and circling until the proper
altitude was attained sailed graceful-
ly back to Bellefonte.

Mrs. Joseph Bion Scott has an-
nounced the engagement of her
daughter, Miss Janet McCurdy Scott,
to Mr. George Stephenson Denithorne,
of Huntingdon. The announcement
was made at a luncheon given on
September fourth by the Misses Mec-
Curdy in honor of their niece. Miss
Scott is now in Bellefonte and will
spend the month of September here
with her uncle and aunts. i
The Altoona papers are bewail-
ing the fact that although it is now
almost a week since the people of that
place placed their orders with the Al-
toona postoffice for a supply of the
government food none of it has arriv-
ed and nothing has as yet been heard
in regard to it. Altoona people are
very impatient. It is now well onto
a month since the first orders for the
food were placed in the Bellefonte
postoffice and so far as the individuals
are concerned that is the last heard
of them. Williamsport and other
towns have gotten in several supplies
of government foods, even in carload
lots, but Bellefonte has so far not re-
ceived even case lots.

The Gaylord International En-
gineering and Construction company
has the concrete down on the new
state highway out beyond the Titan
Metal company’s plant. The two
feet additional width of this piece of
road over state highways built in past
years is without doubt a decided im-
provement. And on the sharp curve
at Griffith’s the roadway will be made
twenty feet which will give ample
room to take the curve at any ordina-
ry rate of travel by automobilists.
The concrete put down is six inches
in thickness and this is to be covered
by a two inch top dressing of grano-
lithic asphalt. It will be the first of
this kind of road built in Centre coun-
ty, but is said to be not only very dur-
able but dustless and easy for horses
to travel on. The builders expect to
have it completed on time, and when
the work is done it will be one of the
best pieces of state highway in Cen-
tre county.
On Monday evening four or five
boys on east Lamb street started to
play ball*at the intersection of Lamb
and Ridge streets. They had been
playing only a few minutes when one
of the number knocked the ball
through the second story window of
the house occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew Engle. Mrs. Engle is away
from home ard as the house is locked
up it naturally resulted in a lost ball,
and this fact, as well as the broken
window, naturally resulted in break-
ing up the game on the spot and the
boys effaced themselves so far as that
immediate vicinity was concerned as
quickly and quietly as possible. The
question now is when Mrs. Engle re-
turns home and discovers the broken
window will the boys come forward
like little men and confess and make
good the damage, or will they deny
liability. Boys are boys the world
over and we wouldn’t give a snap for
one who hasn’t got snap in him, but
they should select a spot to play ball
and indulge in other sports where
there is no danger of damaging other
people’s property.

What’s the Idea?
There are no doubt many theatre
goers in Bellefonte who will recall
with delight the clever antics and
laughable parodies of those well
known comedians, Rice and Cady, who
F. V. Peterson will present in their
new musical comedy, “What's the
Idea?” at the opera house Wednesday,
September 17th, the occasion marking
their return to musical comedy after
five years of headlining the big time
vaudeville circuits from coast to coast.
They will be remembered for their
excellent work as the stars of “Fiddle
Dee Dee,” in which they were seen for
three seasons, also as co-stars of Bar-
ney Bernard in the, “Two Islands,
during the run of the piece at the Cir-
cle theatre in New York, after which
the alluring salary and long time con-
tracts led them into vaudeville.
“What’s the Idea?” is a comedy
with music written by Charley Rice,
with lyrics by Darl Mac Boyle and
music by Walter L. Rosemont, who
were responsible for the score of the
“Bride Shop,” one of the big hits of
last season. Its story is well con-
structed and coherent, with just plot
enough to make it interesting, and is
brimful of bright lines and ludicrous
situations, telling the story of a
young girl who at the death of her
father inherits large sugar interests
in Mexico. --
Two old cronies, Col. Hilipoint and
Major Seement, lifelong friends of
the father, are trustees of the estate
and also guardians of the girl; certain
people learning of the wealth of the
girl and also under the impression
that the Colonel and the Major know
little of the financial world try to
make an exchange of bogus stock for
her holdings but are frustrated in the
attempt ,and everything ends as it
should.
There are a score or more lilting,
whistly
the action of the piece, which the
management has given an elaborate
mounting and an array of finery in
modes and millinery that the fair sex
will no doubt revel in.
The supporting company numbers
thirty or more, among whom will be
found Adelaide Quelus, Louise Wolf,
Bessier Mae, Ruthie Francis, William
Dougherty, Jack Bernard, Joseph
Berdan, Wendell Miller and a chorus
de luxe, well trained in both vocal and
terpsichorean art, to say nothing of
their being good to look at.

Philipsburgers Flying.
Not being able to take a flight
in an airship when pilot Budwig was
in Philipsburg on Labor day some of
the residents of that section decided
not to be deprived of the experience
because there was no suitable field
there, so on Sunday Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Stratton, of Gearhartville,
motored to Bellefonte and that after-
noon both of them took a flight, and
Stratton thoroughly enjoyed it, too.
On Monday afternoon burgess John
W. Beals and councilman Rembrandt

almost every afternoon taking various
persons up for a brief flight, and at
this writing does not know definitely
how long he will remain in Bellefonte.

New Superintendent Elected for
Bellefonte Hospital.
"At a meeting of the board of trus-
tees of the Bellefonte hospital held on
Wednesday evening of last week Miss
Catharine M. Morgart, of Johnstown,
was elected superintendent as succes-
sor to Miss Elder. Miss Morgart will
come to the Bellefonte hospital fresh
from her experience in France where
she organized and had charge of a
base hospital which contained two
thousand beds. She spent two years
in that country and only recently re-
turned home. Prior to going abroad
she organized and was superintendent
of the hospital at Indiana, Pa., for a
period of two years, hence has had
ample experience to justify the high
recommendations given her.

Astronomers Announce Appearance of
the Borgesen Comet,
Last Friday’s Philadelphia Public
Ledger announced the fact that as-
tronomers had detected the appear-
ance of the Borgeson comet and the
Rev. James P. Hughes informed the
“Watchman” editor that the last ap-
pearance of this comet was in 1846,
when he was a student at Princeton,
and at that time announcement was
made that it would not reappear for
seventy-five years. As it is now just
seventy-three years since its last ap-
pearance astronomers were not very
far off in their computation if the
comet does come close enough to
earth to be seen this year.
