and favorably known throughout the

Willis and Chester, all fine, manly
chaps, and very popular here in Or-
viston, where they lived for about
six years before removing to Port
Matilda. Mrs. Thompson was about
45 years old. She leaves three sisters
and a number of brothers to mourn
their loss, besides her sorrowing hus-
band and sons, and a small grand-
son.
Dear friend of mine, just gone before,
To realms of light with God above,
We miss you daily, miss your smile,
Yet feel you've gained a sweeter life.
Oh! happy will the meeting be
When those most dear will see your
face,
And clasp your hands more lovingly,
In heaven's most blessed resting place.

Picking Up Huge Diamonds.
The largest diamond ever found in
the United States was picked up last
year in Pike county, Arkansas. It
weighed nearly eighteen carats.
‘l'here is a real diamond field in that
locality, though its area is less than
one-half mile square. It is the only
spot in this country where the carbon
crystals have been found “in place”—
i. e., lying where they were originally
formed. ‘
Diamonds are a volcanic product,
and in Pike county happens to be a
small outcrop of lava rocck, evidently
ejected as a quiet liquid flow from a
vent there anciently located. At the
surface it is to some extent disinte-
grated.
In August, 1906, a prospector nam-
ed John Huddleston, looking for cop-
per and lead ores, came across a white
crystal of four and one-half carats,
which he recognized as a diamond.
Even in the rough, diamonds are very
brilliant.
In the afternoon of the same day
he found a three-carat diamond in a
wheel track of a road. Then he set
his family to work at washing and
screening the soil in that immediate
vicinity. They got several more, most-
ly much smaller, but all of good
“water.”
Last year this Arkansas diamond
field yielded several hundred carats of
stones. The big one above mentioned
was canary colored and worth a small
fortune.

All Attendance Records Shattered at
State College.
All attendance records‘ at The
Pennsylvania State College have been
shattered this year according to the
registration figures completed last
week by Registrar Espenshade.
With a total of 3080 men and wom-
en enrolled, the college is well started
on what will doubtless prove its most
successful year. This figure exceeds
by more than 700 the previous record
for attendance established in the fall
of 1916, when 2352 students were en-
rolled. Last year’s total of students
was 2044. ;
In addition, Penn State has the dis-
tinction of having been forced to turn
away from its doors possibly more
applicants for admission than any
other eastern college, due to a lack of
accommodations. < A total of 650 had
to be refused entrance to the various
classes. Among these were 100 wom-
en and 450 men who desired to enter
as Freshmen. Another 100 could not
get into higher classes.
Rooming facilities in the town and
college are taxed to capacity. Much
dormitory space had to be utilized
for class rooms. In the town it is
next to impossible to obtain rooms.
Restaurants and boarding houses are
doing their greatest business in his-
tory. 3 lines of students besiege
the restaurfints every meal time, but
with addefl facilities all are being
well taker care of at this time. 2
Of the 3080 fully enrolled students,
294 are women, which is a substantial
increase over last year’s registration.
By classes, the total enrollment is as
follows: Seniors, 428; Juniors, 567;
Sophomores, 892; Freshmen, 946;
Two year agricultural, 192, and spe-
cial students, 54. Of these the girls
number—Seniors, 51; Juniors, 62;
Sophomores, 76; Freshmen, 93; Spe-
cials, 12.
Upwards of 500 men who had left
college to enter the service have re-
turned to complete their courses.
More than 100 ef these were members
of the 1918 class, and the number of
service men in the other classes is
approximately the same. Most of
these have returned from overseas
excellent records.
New students in engineering and
natural science courses feature the
HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
Have You Scrofula?
Now Said to Be as Often Acquired
as Inherited. :
It is generally and chiefly indicated
by eruptions and sores, but in many
cases it enlarges the glands of the
neck, affects the internal organs,.es-
pecially the lungs, and if neglected
may develop into consumption.
It causes many troubles, and is ag-
gravated by impure air, unwhole-
some food, bad water, too much heat
or cold, and want of proper exercise.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the medicine
that has been used with so much sat-
isfaction by three generations, is won-
derfully successful in the treatment
of scrofula. Give it a trial.
If a cathartic or laxative is needed,
take Hood’s Pills,—there is nothing
better for biliousness or constipa-
tion. 64-40

enrollment. There are 1144 in the en-
gineering school, which is an increase
of more than 300 over last year’s fig-
ures. In the School of Agriculture,
the Freshman class enrollment has
dropped off slightly from that of re-
cent years, doubtless due to the fact
that the war has created a demand
for industrial and commercial train- |
ing. There are 105 Freshmen among |
the 817 students in the various agri-
cultural courses.
In the school of Liberal Arts there
are 405 students, an increase of al-
most 100 per cent. over last year.
The school of Mines boasts an enroll-
ment of 166 men, an increase of more
than 100 per cent. There has been
but a slight increase in the school of
Natural Science, there being 390 in
those courses against 346 last year
when there was a great demand for
chemists. In the department of
Home Economics there are 1568 wom-
en as compared with 152 last year.
