Centre county Pomona Grange held
its May meeting last Saturday in the
hall of Washington Grange at Pine
Hall. Master John S. Dale presided
and after some routine business the
heport of the picnic committee showed
the receipts last year as $5,880. The
treasurer’s balance is $1,815. Various
repairs and improvements on the park
are under contemplation this sum-
mer. A big dinner was served under
the maples on the grounds surround-
ing the hall and the important discus-
sion at the afternoon session was the
telephone question. A committee was
appointed to wait on the Bell Tele-
phone company management to see if
it is possible to have the toll rates re-
scinded, otherwise an out and out far-
mer’s line will be established. The
members were urged to begin plan-
ning for their exhibits at the grange
fair and encampment at Grange Park
in September.

If you feel restless and don’t know
what to do, hunt up some honest em- |

Our secrets should never be disclos- |
ed, for they are generally those mean |
things that we would hide from every |
one and on this account, not fit to tell |
to anyone, not even our most intimate |
friend.
The glory is the same, whether you |

Never despair, you can beat some one |

generally surprised, as under exist-

50-50 result. The voters of the South
precinct of Spring township recogniz-

duty to support him. More especially
since he is regarded as an honorable,
upright gentleman, whose integrity is |
unquestioned.
We have a home in this vicinity |
that was blessed with a family of
