A , Fine Weather for the Big Picnic Yesterday. ‘Certainly if there wasn’t a big crowd at the business men’s picnic at Hecla park yesterday, it was not the weather mans’ fault. From out of a week of sweltering days with exces- sive humidity came yesterday, clear, cool and ideal for out-of-door gather- ings. The crowd at the park was not un- usually large up to the noon hour, but then the attendance grew by leaps and bounds until by four o'clock the crowd was variously estimated at from six to eight thousand people. The ball game in the morning be- tween Millheim and State College re- sulted in a victory for the former by the score of 11 to 9. Bellefonte and Centre Hall were battling in the county league cham- pionship at the time of our going to press yesterday afternoon and none of the boxing, wrestling or other events had been pulled off, though all of the participants were on the ground and ready. Community Leadership School. Considerable interest is being man- ifested by the members of the Grange and the people generally throughout Pennsvalley in the first Grange com- munity leadership school which will be held at Centre Hall August 21st to 27th, inclusive. Many applications for enrollment have already been re- ceived by Miss Sara Neff, secretary, at Centre Hall. The program for the week includes demonstrations and talks in the plan- ning and conducting of rural commu- nity programs, plays and other social and recreative activities. The young folks enrolled in the school will actu- ally stage the plays, make the cos- tumes and plan the stage settings and lighting. One hour each day will be given over to talks by prominent rural lead- ers, including John A. MecSparran, master of the State Grange; F. P. Willits, Secretary of Agriculture, and faculty members at State College. As a fitting climax for the week of train- ing a play will be staged on the last evening, August 26th. Bees Take Possession of Telephone Booth. Last Friday afternoon as the train on the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad neared the Pennsylvania Furnace sta- tion it stopped as usual at the tele- phone booth in order to ascertain if the block was clear for the station. Conductor Harry Hicks ran to the booth to telephone but he didn’t use the instrument. On opening the door he discovered that a swarm of bees had taken possession of the booth and were making themselves very much at home. The conductor was compelled to walk to the station and see that the block was clear then signal his train to proceed. The track gang smoked the bees out of the booth on Saturday. Hunters Blacklisted. The Department of Forests and Waters is now compiling a list of hunters in the State who have been blacklisted from receiving a hunters’ license this year, and on the list so far made public are the following from this section: Norris I. Harter and Alex Heverley, Blanchard; Joe and John Koliwoski, Karthaus; Clarence Robb, Howard, and Roland Smith, Beech Creek. erm — ——For the first six months of 1924 Centre county automobilists burned up enough gas to pay the State a tax of $24,595. One-fourth of this amount, or $6,148.75 reverts to the county. Mystery in Copper Mass The largest mass of native copper in the world, recently discovered by a Houghton county farmer, is now In possession of the University of Michi- gan. It weighs 483 pounds and is 42 inches in height, 82 inches wide and about three inches thick. It bears the facial outline of an Indian. To this likeness it is believed some one cen- turies ago added a human touch by Yending back parts of the edge. The nugget was obtained by the university at the market price of cop- per, says the New York Post. It was not until it was photographed that the “face” and full value were discov ered. Too Much to Ask of Them The orchestra was practicing the composer's long and tedious piece when he arrived. “What's this?” he demanded from the doorway. “I can hear only the violins, not the wind instruments.” “It's too hard a job for the wind instruments,” replied the orchestra leader. “They can’t blow and yawn at the same time.” A Pattern for Nurse A woman who took her little daugh: ter out to tea was surpriséd to see her trying to put a thin plece of bread and butter Into her pocket. “Whatever are you trying to do? asked the shocked mother, “Y thought I would take this home te nurse for a pattern,” replied the little girl.
