Another Classic in
Altoona.
Planning for
The stage is all set for the second
of the two annual speed classics to be
held during the 1924 season on the fa-
mous Altoona speedway. The first of
the renowned drivers of the world to
send in his entry blank was Tommy
Milton, who officially signed Monday
for the 250-mile championship event
to be held on Labor day, September
1st.
Corps of workmen have been labor-
ing since the June 14th classic to pre-
pare the improved road system within
the huge oval and in making the ex-
tensive improvements to the grand-
stands and other structures which
were delayed by the = unseasonable
rains prior to the first of the season’s
two great events.
The speedway management has
completed arrangements for two larg-
er automobile roads outside the big
racing plant, and fifty-foot parking
road within the safety fence to give
spectators every facility for getting
in and out of the bowl easily. Chang-
es to the mammoth main grandstand,
which seats 12,000, scheduled to be
completed in early spring, will be fin-
ished, and the entire infield paddock
graded and sodded.
——The extremely wet weather
played havoc with the strawberry
crop in Centre county this summer.
The crop was a bumper one but the
hard rains spoiled much of the fruit.
One grower claims he lost at least one
hundred crates because of the rain,
and as berries brought from $4.00 to
$5.00 a crate his loss alone would be
considerable. Other growers also lost
heavily. Many of the early cherries
were also damaged by the wet weath-
er, one farmer losing his entire crop
of oxhearts, though the late cher-
ries were not so much affected.
Almost Six Tons of Wool Clipped in
Centre County.
The Centre eons Wool Grower’s
association, in co-dperation with the
Farm Bureau, sold this year 11,928
pounds of wool. This was 900 pounds
more than last year. The wool was
graded into two grades, No. 1 and re-
jections. Rejections included burry,
seedy, chaffy, dead wool and that tied
with other than paper twine, but in
the latter case the twine was changed.
Sicle twine leaves strands in the wool
which cannot be carded out and will
come out in the fabric, making a de-
fective piece of cloth.
Last year there were 398 pounds of
rejections as compared with 1852
pounds this year. The percentage
has increased instead of decreased as
it should have done. Practically all
rejects were for chaff and seeds
which could have been avoided by a
little care in feeding and handling of
the wool. There is a difference of six
cents per pound between rejections
and No. 1, which would more than pay
for the little special care.
The farmers of the county are well
pleased with this plan of co-operative
selling. It resulted in an incerase of
seven cents per pound on the price of
wool after one cent per pound was
taken off for handling. It is hoped
that next year the amount of rejec-
tions will be decreased instead of in-
creased.
Births.
The Rev. and Mrs. Wilson P. Ard
are receiving congratulations on the
birth of their first child, a son, Robert
Wilson, who was born at the Belle-
fonte hospital Saturday of last week.
John Wynn Jr. is the name that
has been given to the little son born
to Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Fredericks, in
the Lock Haven hospital, Saturday,
July 5th. Mrs. Fredericks is well
known in Bellefonte as Miss Mabel
Sheffer, the elder daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Paul D. Sheffer.
A little daughter, their first girl
and second child, was born to Dr. and
Mrs. Hoffer Dale, of State College,
last week.
Still Winning Prizes.
Wetzler’s band of Milesburg partic-
ipated in the Fourth of July parade at
Philipsburg and was awarded first
prize for the best playing and best ap-
pearance of any musical organization.
The prize amounted to $50, which
was in addition to the $200 the band
received for the engagement.
At a regular meeting of the
Bellefonte school board, on Monday
evening of last week, Miss Ellen Par-
sons, of Lock Haven, was elected
as teacher of spelling and hygiene in
both buildings, and Miss Maude Sto-
ver, of Rebersburg, was elected as
teacher of geography and composi-
tion in the Bishop street building. At
a previous meeting Jay M. Riden, of
Mount Union, had been elected as in-
struetor in mathematics and athlet-
ic director. This completes the list
of instructors for all the Bellefonte
schools.

The State cops motor patrol
were quite busy on Centre county
state highways on Sunday, working
principally between Bellefonte and
Pleasant Gap and down Nittany val-
ley. Many motorists were stopped
and asked to show their cards and
quizzed generally to find out if they
were complying with the automobile
laws, but no pretense was made to-
ward searching cars.

land Dairy Co., in this place, has been
