THE BIG GRANGE PICNIC.
——A burning flue on a house on
east Curtin street called out the fire
Fiftieth Anniversary to be Celebrated department just before noon on Mon-
at Grange Park This Year.
In celebration of the 50th annual
encampment and fair of the Centre
county Pomona Grange, the purchase
of a fine addition to Grange park and
the establishment of the first Grange
in Centre county, the committee is
planning for the week of September
1-7 an interesting program.
First in importance, a Grange pag-
Several hundred people, men and
women, boys and girls, coming from
various Granges, committees and
schools of Centre county, will take
part.
This pageant will be historical and
educational, combining both national
and Grange history with achievements
of agriculture in the past, and, in
symbolical scenes and tableaux, the
solution of many of the farmer’s pres-
ent-day problems.
The pageant will be under the diree-
tion of W. R. Gordon, of the “Rural
Life Organization,” and beginning the
first of August, he will give his entire
time to its work. No effort will be
spared to make it the greatest success
in every way.
Many Grange officials have signi-
fied their intention to be present dur-
ing the week. The Secretary of Ag-
riculture has accepted an invitation,
and a number of men and women of
great prominence in the early history
of the Grange in Pennsylvania proba-
bly will be there.
Amusements and entertainments of
a high grade will be furnished for
young and old. There will be several
baseball games between teams of the
Centre county league, and plenty of
music. A State College church will
present in the auditorium, Thursday
evening, a play of real worth.
The small children will have a play-
ground arranged for them.
The camp will be enlarged and some
changes made necessary by its growth,
made in the arrangement. The camp-
ers whose location may be changed
will be notified in advance and given
an opportunity to choose another.
The exhibits promise to be superior
to those in past years, and a county so
large and fertile as Centre should
avail itself of the opportunity to show
to visitors from surrounding counties
the quality and variety of crops it
produces. Liberal premiums will be
paid.
The Centre Oil and Gas Company
Is Doing Business.
The storage yards having been com-
pleted, office equipped and supplies
received the Centre Oil and Gas Co.
began doing business at its plant on
the old car works property last week.
Up to this time business has been
so satisfactory as to greatly encour-
age the young managers of the new
enterprise. They are handling the
extensively exploited Texaco products,
both motor and industrial oils, as well
as gasoline and as their initial instal-
lation of storage tanks has a capaci-
ty of 40,000 gallons they will be pre-
pared, always, to supply the public
need of these high grade oils.
Their business will be entirely
wholesale and deliveries will be made
day, but no especial damage resulted.
——The handsome new house of the
| Farmers and Merchants National bank
of Tyrone will be opened with a pub-
‘lic reception tomorrow, between the

qua this week, the Redpath organiza-
tion holding forth there on Tuesday,
Wednesday and yesterday.

boy on Curtin street threw a chunk of
ice at Catherine Kilpatrick, hitting her
on the cheek and cutting a gash half
an inch deep. Several stitches were
required to close the wound.
— A three and a half foot black
rattlesnake, sporting ten rattles, has
been an attraction this week in the
show window of the Bush house cigar
store. The reptile was caught out
back of Snow Shoe by Arthur Wilson,

— A number of business men of
Centre Hall will give their baseball
team a real treat next week by taking
them on an auto tour to Pittsburgh
on Monday, where they will do the
theatres at night and on Tuesday go
to a big league ball game, returning
home that night.
——The boys of Troop No. 1, Boy
Scouts of America, in charge of the
scoutmaster, the Rev. Malcolm May-
nard, left on Monday for a two week’s
stay at Camp Kline, on Pine creek.
Mail should be sent to Camp Kline,
Jersey Shore, Pa. Vistors’ days will
be Wednesdays and Sundays, and the
Scouts hope that many of their friends
will go to see them. The camp loca-
tion is one of the finest in the State.
Many boys from Williamsport are also
in camp for the two week’s period.
— Legal investigations into the
affairs of the R. L. Dollings company
have not revealed anything very en-
couraging for the stockholders, and
as it looks now many people are doom-
ed to lose considerable money through
the financial manipulations of the
firm. During the greater part of last
year the Altoona branch of the com-
pany had agents in Centre county
selling their various stocks but how
much they succeeded in placing in this
section has not been disclosed, al-
though it is believed to be considera-
ble.
— A short circuit in the big Hud-
son Six automobile of Grant Hoover,
of Williamsport, caused a fire, on Sat-
urday, which not only destroyed the
car but burned the large barn on his
farm back of Unionville, together with
his year’s hay crop and some farm im-
plements. Mr. Hoover had driven to
his farm from Williamsport and park-
ed the car in the barn. A little later
he took a walk in the nearby woods
and when he returned the barn was in
flames. With the help of neighbors
he managed to get some of his farm
machinery out of the barn and save
the house, though the flames commu-
nicated to the nearby woods and it
took some hard work to extinguish the
to all parts of the county, a powerful,
large capacity tank motor being part |
of the equipment to insure prompt '
service.
The members of the new firm are,
Frank M. Crawford, his son-in-law,
Horace J. Hartranft, and his son, |
Francis H. Crawford. The latter two |
are the active members and as both |
the young men are well known here |
and enjoy enviable reputations for
integrity and business energy they are
likely to make quite a success of the
enterprise. Mr. Hartranft, since his
graduation from State College, some
years ago has spent his time in the
Texas and Oklahoma oil fields, and is
regarded as an expert in petroleum
and its by-products.

ble plant. The Odd Fellows band and
an orchestra will furnish the music.
P.O. S.

so that the road was open for traffic

—— The Penn-Centre chapter of the
Order of DeMolay has secured a tem-
porary meeting place in the hall in
the Bush Arcade, where they gather
regularly every two weeks. Twenty
new applications for membership are
now on file and it is quite possible that
a full ceremenial will be put on about
the middle of August. Twenty--four
members have already been enrolled
.for the DeMolay band, and as every
one of the boys has his own instru-
ment they practice regularly every
Friday night under the leadership of
Frank Wetzler, of Milesburg. They

gagement and will furnish the music

Highway Employees’ Salaries In-
creased.
Governor Pinchot pleaded lack of
revenue for cutting down legislative
appropriations to hospitals and de-
serving State institutions and within
a week after his pronouncement Paul
D. Wright, secretary of highways, an-
nounced substantial increases in sal-
aries throughout his department. In
doing so he established three classes
of maintenance superintendents, as
follows:
Class A positions carry a salary of
$225 a month and head those districts
which spend $200,000 to $500,000 a
year; class B superintendents are
those whose districts spend from
$100,000 to $200,000 a year, and the
salary is $200 a month, and class C
positions are in those districts which
spend less than $100,000 a year and
have a monthly salary of $175.
Inspectors, assistant inspectors, ete.,
were given increases, those for the
Bellefonte district being as follows:
V. H. Wintle, chief inspector, increas-
ed from $150 a month to $165; F. X.

assistant inspector, $65 to $115; W.

A Pleasant Party on Fishing Creek.
Mrs. John Holt, whose finesse in the
art culinary and graciousness as a
hostess has made the Union hotel, at
Unionville, one of the best places in
the world for the traveler to stop for
refreshment and rest, entertained
quite a large party of her guests and
friends at the Meek fishing camp on
Fishing creek last Wednesday. It was
really her second annual outing and
proved equally as delightful as the
first though lacking the thrill occa-
sioned a year ago by one of the wom-
en members of the party falling into
the creek and having to borrow from
the others enough clothes to wear un-
til her own were dried in the sun.
Mrs. Holt’s guests were Mr. and
Mrs. Rudolph, with their son and
daughter, of Pittsburgh; Mr. and Mrs.
Blackwood, and their son and Mr.
Frank Sampson, of Pittsburgh; Mrs.
McClelland, of Unionville, and Miss
Sara Holt.
Mr. Holt, of course, was at the camp
to receive them and show its hospitali-
ty by serving a dinner to his wife and
her guests so bountiful and palatable
that almost it might be said that when
it comes down to the preparation of
good food there is no competition in
the Holt family.
Delightful Wedding Reception.
One of the most delightful country
homes in the western end of Centre
county is that of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
G. Goheen, of Pennsylvania Furnace,
and it never presented a more fascin-
ating picture than it did yesterday
afternoon when Mr. and Mrs. Goheen
were hosts at a reception given in
honor of their son, Jonathan McWil-
liams Goheen and wife, who are just
on the last lap of their honeymoon.
The reception was held on the spa-
cious lawn, which was crowded with
handsomely gowned women and many
gentlemen friends of the bride and
bridegroom. Guests were present
from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Ty-
rone, Altoona and various other towns,
and also included most of the neigh-
bors and friends of the Goheen family
in and about Pennsylvania Furnace.
One hundred and fifty invitations had
been issued and the number present
considerably exceeded one hundred.
Among the guests were the bride-
groom’s brother and wife, Mr. and
Mrs. Lester Goheen, of Florida, who
reached home yesterday morning.
The refreshments, also served on
the lawn, were delicious and abundant,
and Mr. and Mrs. Goheen received
many remembrances of the occasion.
Mrs. Goheen, before her marriage two
weeks ago, was Miss Margaretta See-
ger, one of Tyrone’s most prepossess-
ing young ladies. Mr. Goheen is em-
ployed by the William F. Gable Co.,
of Altoona, but he and his wife will
make their home in Tyrone.
Big Barn Burned.
The big barn on the William Wertz
farm in Spruce Creek valley, on which
the Spruce Creek club house is locat-
ed, was burned to the ground last
Friday, together with all its contents,
which included most of this year’s
crops of grain and hay, many farm
implements, harness, and all adjoin-
ing buildings. The men were hauling
wheat at the time and were in the
barn floor unloading a wagon load of
grain. The first knowledge they had
of the fire was when the flames seeth-
ed above the wagon load of wheat.
The man on the wagon jumped
through the sheet of fire to the barn
floor and those in the mow made a
quick escape. The harness were cut
from the horses hitched in the wagon
and they were gotten out in safety.
The men were using a sheaf eleva-
tor in unloading the grain and the fire
is believed to have originated from an
overheated part of the machinery. The
barn was one of the largest in Spruce
Creek valley, containing four mows
and two barnfloors. Mr. Wertz car-
ried insurance in several companies
but not enough to cover his loss. He
will rebuild at once.
——Now that a new board of prison
inspectors has been appointed for the
western penitentiary the regular offi-
cials and guards at the Rockview in-
stitution have hopes of soon getting
the two month’s pay due them. The
amount approved by the Governor for
the support of the western penitentia-
ry for two years was $550,000, which
is less than the amount granted two
years ago.
