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.

——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.
