NEXT WEEK THE GRANGERS.
Program for Their Big Annual Fair
and Encampment at Centre Hall.
Next week all roads in Centre coun-
ty will lead to Grange park, Centre
Hall, where the Grangers will hold
their fifty-first annual encampment.
The committee in charge promises the
best fair and biggest program ever
arranged, but aside from the speak-
ers who will be present at the annual
reunion of the Centre County Veter-
an club, on Wednesday, all the talks
and lectures will have to do with the
farm and the farmers’ interests gen-
erally. There won’t be any political
days, notwithstanding the fact that
this is a presidential year. Of course
both old-time political parties will
have headquarters on the grounds,
and candidates of all political faiths
will be given free range of the
grounds, but there will be no stump
speakers.
The grounds were closed to the pub-
lis yesterday and from then on the
price of admission will be 50 cents.
This sum, however, entitles the ticket
holder to the privilege of the grounds
during the entire week. Children un-
der fourteen years of age will be ad-
mitted free.
While the exhibits of farm machin-
ery and implements are now pour-
ing into the grounds, the stock, poul-
try and produce will not be placed be-
fore Monday and Tuesday, but all the
available space has been taken and in
this line the fair promises to excel all
former years.
The play ground for small children
has been enlarged and will be under
the constant supervision of experienc-
ed persons. The Red Cross will have
a first-aid tent on the main avenue
and also conduct a day nursery where
infants and children of tender years
will be cared for. All necessary sup-
plies can be purchased on the grounds.
An information bureau has been es-
tablished at the administration build-
ing where both phones are in service.
In addition to the large midway of
various amusements (no gambling de-
vices) the “Filipino 5,” a popular mu-
sical company, will give free concerts
daily, beginning tomorrow evening.
The different Granges will give plays
in the auditorium each evening during
the week, the admission to which will
be 10 and 20 cents.
All trains will stop at the park dur-
ing the week, with special trains on
Thursday. Following is the week’s

Bellefonte Silk Mill Resumed Opera-
tions on Wednesday.
The Bellefonte silk mill, which has
been idle the past two months owing |
to the depressed condition of the silk
business, resumed operations on Wed-
nesday on a small scale. Fifteen girls
were put to work as day operators on
a small unit of throwing machines,
but as the silk industry shows signs
of steady improvement the force will
gradually be increased until the mill
is up to its capacity.
The demand for matches is also
improving and the Bellefonte plant of
the Federal Match company is now
running five days a week instead of
half time as it did most of the sum-
mer. Indications are that ere long it
will also be back to capacity produc-
tion.
The improvement in the business
situation is also noticeable in increas-
ed activity at some of the limestone
industries around Bellefonte, so that
the outlook for the approaching win-
ter season is not as gloomy as it was
a few weeks ago.
Ross Hickok Home Burglarized.
The Ross A. Hickok home, in Har-
risburg, was burglarized one night
last week, the robbers securing a di-
amond star pin, a watch, Mrs. Hick-
ok’s engagement ring and several oth-
er rings. The robbers overlooked sev-
eral other watches, valuable beads and
pins. The Hickok family has been
summering in Massachusetts and the
robbery was discovered by the care-
taker at their Harrisburg home.
Junior Farmers to Camp at Grange
Picnic.
The second annual Junior Farmer's
camp will be held at Centre Hall dur-
Pennsvalley People to Celebrate De-
fense Day, September 12th.
A public meeting was held at the
Boal Troop camp grounds, at Boals-
ing the week of August 30th to Sep- { burg last Friday, to make preliminary
tember 5th. All boys between the“
ages of twelve and twenty-one who
have been enrolled in vocational agri-
cultural education or have had club
work in Centre county are entitled to
attend this camp.
The Junior Farmer’s association has
over one hundred boys who are not
eligible for membership. These boys
believe that co-operative effort is the
basis of progress, and as farmers of
tomorrow, they realize that a start
cannot be made too soon to put that
co-operative effort into practice.
The boys will be housed in comfort-
able quarters, and supplied with army
cots and blankets. An experienced
camp cook and two camp leaders will
have charge for the week. A definite
program has been arranged by John
B. Payne, vocational supervisor, which
will include judging instruction in live
stock and a judging contest which will
be held on Wednesday morning at ten
o’clock. Mr. Payne urges that all
boys in the county take part in this
judging contest—thirty dollars in
prizes to be given. The boys will
judge dairy cattle, swine and poultry
this year. The program also includes
athletic events, camp singing and a
general all-around good time for all
who attend. While the boys are in
camp they will be given an opportuni-
ty to earn money by acting as messen-
gers, taking care of live stock and
poultry, and doing general camp
chores.
The vocational students from High
schools all over the county have been
carrying on a large number of poul-
try projects this year, and will have
a special poultry exhibit at the fair.
The following information is given
for the benefit of any boy or girl in
Centre county who wishes to exhibit
poultry and eggs at the fair:
Poultry:—The birds will be shown
in pens of four females and one male,
the old pen consisting of hens with the
rooster, and the young pen of the
pullets and the cockerel. Prizes will
be awarded in classes, as follows:
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes,
Rhode Island Reds (all varieties);
Leghorns (all varieties), and all other
breeds, old pen—1st, $4.00; 2nd, $3.00;
3rd, $1.00. Young pen—I1st, $4.00;
2nd, $2.00; 3rd, $1.00.

Child Falls from Third Floor Onto
Concrete Pavement and
Still Lives.
Little Billy Richards, next to the
youngest child of Samuel and Carrie
Hazel Richards; fell from the third
story window of the flat in the Brock-
erhoff building on Bishop street, on
Tuesday evening, onto the concrete
‘pavement, and still lives, though his
condition was regarded as very crit-
ical yesterday morning.
Billy is two years and four months
old and naturally an active child.
Shortly after seven o’clock on the
evening above mentioned the child
while playing around the room went
to the window, which was protected
by a screen. The father was not at
home and Mrs. Richards did not see
the accident happen, but the little one
evidently leaned too heavily against
the screen and it gave way, both
screen and child toppling out.
At the top of the first story of the
building a ledge projects outward
some eighteen inches or two feet and
the full force of the fall was broken
by the boy striking this, then drop-
ping to the pavement with a thud that
was heard two squares away. Per-
sons who saw the accident expected to
find the child dead, but as it still
breathed, though unconscious, it was
taken to the Bellefonte hospital and
an examination revealed the fact that
it had suffered a fracture of the right
ankle, serious head injuries and pos-
sible internal injuries. How it es-
caped instant death is an inexplicable
mystery.
Overdose of Sleeping Powder Pro-
duced Almost Fatal Results.
R. N. Van Ingen, a well known au-
tomobile dealer of Bellefonte, is in the
Bellefonte hospital slowly recovering
from the effects of an overdose of
verenol which he took as a sleeping
powder last Saturday night. For
some time past he has not been feel-
ing entirely fit, suffering from ner-
vous tension, and on Saturday night
he took a sleeping potion.” But un-
fortunately, it happened to be an over
dose and failing to get awake on Sun-
day morning members of the family
tried to arouse him. Failing in their
attempts the family physician was
summoned and he had Mr. Van Ingen
removed to the hospital without de-
lay. For several days he was'in a
state of coma but yesterday he had
in a great measure regained con-
sciouness, recognized individuals and
is thought to be on a fair way to re-
covery.

Capt.
Charles E. Sohl presided and briefly
explained the purpose of the gather-
ing as well as the object of celebrat-
ing Defense day. Col. Theodore Da-
vis Boal urged the men generally to
turn out on that day and tendered his
camp grounds as a meeting place,
free of cost.
An organization was effected by

and F. C. Radel secretary. It was
also decided to have a big parade and
gathering of soldiers, war veterans
and civic organizations, with a basket
picnic, ball game and other sports.
A house to house canvas is to be made
to get out as big a crowd as possible.
To assist in the work chairman Mayes

League Pennant.
sssescsssssnsssve sesssessens
Baseball
' The Centre County Baseball League
will close its season tomorrow, and
the fast Bellefonte team cinched the
pennant when it defeated Millhein
last Thursday evening. In fact the
local champions are more than two
hundred points to the good. Every
member on the team played consist-
ent ball during the entire season, not
only as individuals but in teani work.
Going to Millheim last Thursday they
defeated the sluggers of that place by
the score of 2 to 0. At Centre Hall,
on Saturday, they broke even in a
double-header, winning the first game
14 to 8, and losing the second 1 to 6.
Centre Hall won from State College
on. Thursday by the score of 6 to 3
while the double-header scheduled be-
tween Millheim and State College for
Saturday was postponed on account
of rain. As the season closes tomor-
row these games may not be played.
Tomorrow’s games will be State at
Millheim and Centre Hall at Belle-
fonte for two games. Owing to the
double-header the first game will be
called promptly at two o’clock. Ar-
rangements are now being made for a
banquet for the Bellefonte players and
it is possible that at that time the
presentation of the pennant will be
made. Following is the standing of

Sick Prisoners Returned to Pittsburgh
Six prisoners whose health has been
deemed too bad for the outside work
demanded on the prison farms at the
Rockview penitentiary, were taken
back to Pittsburgh on Tuesday where
they will be put under treatment in
the prison hospital.
The prison grounds are still ander
guard and virtual control of the state
constabulary, but notwithstanding this
fact one man got away the latter part
| of the week and traveled to State
College without molestation. On
reaching that place he evidently got
cold feet as he went to a telephone
and called up the penitentiary office,
telling the officials that he had become
lost and wandered to State College,
asking them to send after him. This
was done and the prisoner’s story of
being lost was accepted as a fact.
The presence of the state constabu-
lary has had the wholesome effect of
keeping the men at work with no out-
ward manifestation of insubordina-
tion. Just how long the state police-
men will be kept on guard has not
been made public.
Friends Quarterly Meeting.
The Friends quarterly meeting will
be held in their church near Storms-
town on this week-end, August 30th
to September 1st, with the usual pro-
gram of exercises. Sabbath school
association at 2 p. m. Saturday; min-
istry and council at 3:30 p. m. Sun-
day, 10 a. m., regular devotional
meeting. Sunday p. m. meeting will
be announced. Monday, 9:30 a. m.,
business meeting.
