JUNE TIME.
By Will M. Maupin.
Singin’ 0’ June, when the roses blow;
Liltin’ a song when the sun hangs low;
‘Whistlin’ away
Through the livelong day—
Singin’ an’ whistlin’ a merry tune
To the rosiest month of them all—that’s
June.
Watchin’ the clouds as they hasten by,
Catchin’ the gleam of the bright blue sky;
Lazyin’ 'round
On the sun-kissed ground—
Hearin’ the wind through the woodland
croon
Her songs to the rarest of months—that's
June,
Off through the meadows cool and sweet,
Where the violets bloom in their dim re-
treat;
Dreamin’ dreams
By the purlin’ streams,
As they hasten by with their rythmic tune
To the rosiest, fairest month—that’s June.
Home at eve when the moon hangs low
And the sky gleams bright with a silver
glow;
Just lazyin’ there
In the old arm chair
A watchin’ the man who lives in the moon
And laughs at the fairest of months—
that’s June.
PLEASANT GAP PHILOSOPHY.
By Levi A. Miller.
There is nothing like business for
enabling us to get through our weary
existence. Business gets over the
hours without counting them. We
may be very tired at the end, still it
has brought the day to a close sooner
than anything else.
Never be idle; exercise improves
the health and employs the mind.
The religious fanatic and the mar-
tyr to political excitement have ex-
hibited resistance to physical agents
to a degree of inflexibility almost in-
credible.
Exercise is requisite to the develop-
ment of both our corporal and mental
capacities.
Forgetting that exercise is neces-
sary for health, all seem to be imbued
with the single idea of accumulating
wealth, and not health.
I am convinced that the mind of
man might, like the sun, grow larger
at its setting, and shed more beauti-
ful light at the period of its decline.
By a proper course of temperance
in all things, no matter under what
circumstances or climate we may be
placed, our health will be compara-
tively secure, our longevity will be in-
creased, and our happiness establish-
ed; for where there is no temperance,
there is no moral virtue, nor any se-
curity against crime; where spiritous
liquors are used, the mind is under a
state of animal excitement; without it
the mind is calm and tranquil, seeing
all things in their proper light.
It is always a difficult task to write
about nothing, especially if it must be
done well.
So many people don’t seem to have
the least idea of what they are here
for, they don’t have a proper concep-
tion of the duties of life.
Prize fights seem to have always
been patronized by loafers.
I don’t think that people talk too
much, but they don’t talk to the point.
Talk, I say, but talk sense. Under
any and all circumstances, conversa-
tion is an index of character. No dif-
ference when or where a wise man
speaks, he reveals his wisdom, and is
judged accordingly. The fool also, ex-
poses the shallowness of his mind
when he opens his mouth. A wise
man may wear the habilaments of pov-
erty, be careless as to his personal ap-
pearance, yet his words secure for
him a degree of respect that a fool
can never get. The latter may gain
greater notoriety by means of wealth,
display of cheek, or the use of high
sounding words, but notoriety is not
always respectable. In fact, the bet-
ter class of people do not seek noto-
riety, but would rather have the rep-
utation of being respectable and sen-
sible. Every one cannot become a
good conversationalist but that need
not prevent him from having a few
ideas; then he will never want for at-
tentive listeners,
While women are naturally suspi-
cious, yet at the same time they are
the most gullible creatures in the
world. They are always on the look-
out for gnats and are constantly swal-
lowing camels; and yet they succeed
well. If women would just let up a
little on politics and that abominable
sphere, business, and set themselves
to do that which they are best fitted
for, and which their hands and hearts
find to be done, they would achieve
mach more for themselves and be
greater blessings to mankind and the
world. Some there are and some
there ever will be, to find fault and
rail and denounce man, (often with
sufficient cause). These may be de-
signed by an all-wise Providence to
keep the balance of the race awake to
their duties. If woman would, she
could make her existence in life won-
derfully cozy and comfortable. Some
do, but a great many do not. She can
best do this by making her home a
little paradise, herself playing the
part of angel. It isn’t necessary that
she should have wings to be an angel,
only that she should have a clear con-
ception of what is necessary to make
home attractive and pleasant. Her
sphere is defined and located by a
single word—home. There isn’t much
use to advise them what to do, be-
cause they imagine the correct prin-
ciple is not to do or believe the thing
a man suggests. However,
woman is a blessing to mankind.
It is a matter worthy of note that
in olden times the majority of fights,
whether among the gentry or common
herd, were about women, in whose de-
fense they dreaded not the rage of
fire and water, tempest or wasting age.
Yes, apparently, women were at the
bottom of the fighting business, un-
less the disposition is inherited from
the purely animal part of human na-
ture. There is nothing for which a
a good | $1
man will fight more fiercely than a
woman. This was the origin of knight
errantry. A man would love a woman
so that he hated all other women and
all men Ecsides, especially those who
dared to speak disparagingly of her.
So jealous was he of her honor, and
so solicitous of her comfort, and so
anxious for her preferment that he
could bear no interference or reflec-
tions of any kind. He not only hated
those who thought of her as he did,
for of such he was jealous, but also
those who were not of his way of
thinking, for such he considered unfit
to look upon her, much less speak to
her or show the least familiarity.
While prize fights are not tolerated
by good society, yet there would be no
serious objection urged if they were
arranged to be in defense of women,
The human side of life, like the ser-
ious side has its literature, and it is a
literature of untold wealth. In fact,
pathos and laughter are the closest of
kin, in their origin as well as in the
pleasurable and beneficial effects they
produce upon mind and body. Phys-
iologists tell us that the lachrymal
glands and the risable muscles are the
nearest of neighbors in the human
countenance. God would not have
given man laughter if he had not
meant he should laugh, said the in-
imitable Rev. Sam Jones, the evangel-
ist. Laughter is both. pleasant and
profitable. Thousands of evils and ills
have been laughed out of existence.
“Humor,” says Whipple, “is the very
juice of the mind, oozing from the
brain and enriching and fertilizing
wherever it falls. It glides into the
heart of its object and looks amuse-
ingly but lovingly upon the infirmities
it detects.”
There is a vast amount of wisdom
to be found in the sayings and writ-
ings of the men regarded as mere
laugh-makers; in fact, they would not
be so popular if their productions
were not replete with human nature.
We laugh at the effusions of these hu-
morists because they are so true to
life; because what is thus written is
the epitome of every-day experiences.
The copy of the funny man is always
in demand.
Isn’t it astonishing the changes that
have taken place during the last six-
ty years. Even the seasons and
weather conditions are nothing to be
compared to those of half a century
ago, and the morals of our day are no
comparison i: what they were when
I was a school boy. When Monks was
hanged in the jail yard at Bellefonte
for the murder of the drover for 10
cents, not only all Centre countians,
and you might say all of central Peni-
sylvania could cease talking about the
calamity for months. Today if we
electrocute two or three men on a
Monday, the incident is forgotten be-
fore the setting of the sun the same
day. I want to demonstrate an actu-
al fact:
Sixty-five years ago my old friend,
Henry Brockerhoff, was an extensive
wholesale dealer in whiskey. Most of
the product was shipped to the lum-
bering regions of Clearfield county. I
remember Frenchville was one of his
best shipping points. When the goods
arrived here they were placed all
along the pavement in front of the
Brockerhoff house; sometimes they
were not removed for two or three
weeks. The horizontal refreshment
was undisturbed. Today, if the pro-
prietor of the hotel would venture to
leave a measly ten barrels lie there
over night—what would the result be.
If a guzzler were to swallow all that
would be left the following morning,
he would not have a sufficiency to
make him imagine that he could whip
any man between Hades and Egypt.
Penn State Revises Commencement
Plans.
Plans for the annual June com-
mencement week at The Pennsylvania
State College have been revised from
the traditional form that has been in
vogue for many years past. The re-
vision is the result of a desire of the
College Senate to give the occasion a
greater degree of academic dignity,
and lays special stress on the import-
ance of the program for graduates
and the entertainment of their fami-
lies, friends, alumni and distinguish-
ed visitors.
The commencement exercises have
been moved up from Tuesday to Mon-
day afternoon, June 15th. Alumni
day is scheduled for Saturday, June
13th, and election of trustees by dele-
gates will take place on Friday, June
12th. The entertainment side will be
featured by alumni-senior-junior
dances in the armory, and sophomores
and freshmen will not entertain guests
during the celebration. Another new
phase outlined by president John M.
Thomas in a letter sent recently to all
alumni of the College, was a proposal
to hold reunion conventions for the
graduates of various departments of
the College. Dr. Thomas expresses
the hope that in time the Penn State
commencements will become occasions
when large numbers of the more
prominent citizens of the State will be
drawn to the College through their in-
terest in its welfare.

FARM NOTES.
—The past work of a hen may be
judged by the yellow jigment in beak
and shanks.
—Watch out for American foul
brood in your apiaries. It is danger-
cus to have around.
—Good care and feed supplied the
answer on many farms where ton lit-
ters were grown last year. A good
hog man gives both to his pigs.
—Where peach trees are under-
nourished, it is well to fertilize with
nitrate of soda, say fruit specialists of
The Pennsylvania State College.
—Preserve eggs now by using two
quarts of waterglass and 18 quarts of
water for each 30 dozen. Use fresh,
clean eggs with good sound shells.
—For the powdery mildews, such as
are found on roses, an effective disin-
fectant is sulphur dust. Dust the
plants before the rain, not afterwards.
—Purebred dairy cows are better
workers than grades or scrubs. One
or two cows or heifers purchased now
will provide the foundation for a fu-
ture pure bred herd.
—Where sheep are kept on the farm
vear after year every precaution
should be exercised not to allow the
flock to graze for long periods on the
same pasture, but alternate frequent-
ly as the change is not only a pre-
ventive to pasture infection but stimu-
lates appetite and promotes the
growth of grasses.
—Rose beetles on grapes, cheerries,
and similar fruits should be sprayed
upon their first appearance, with a
sweetened poison spray made up by
mixing four pounds of arsenate of
lead, two gallons of cheap molasses,
and 100 gallons of water. A smaller
amount may be used by taking ingie-
dients in the same proportion.
—Wormy pigs usually have good
appetites and eat a great deal but are
poor and do not grow fat. The hair
of the pig looks rough and does ‘not
have a shiny gloss, and the pigs are
usually ‘“pot-bellied.” Turpentine is
the most economical and convenient
remedy, one teaspoonful for each 100
pounds live weight. This should be
dose should be repeated daily for
three consecutive days. »
—Watch for the lowly cutworm on
cabbages and tomatoes, for great may
be the destruction it causes.
Plants set out on newly plowed
sod land are likely to be especially
subject to attack by this pest, states
H. E. Hodgkiss, extension entomolo-
gist of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege. If the worms appear destroy
them quickly by using sweetened poi-
son bait.
‘The formula given by Hodgkiss is
as follows: 20 pounds of bran, two
quarts of cheap molasses, one pound
of Paris green or white arsenic, and
three and one-half gallons of water,
or-enough to make a “sloppy” mix-
ture.
—The thornless blackberry is the
result of crossing a selected descend-
ant of a dewberry growing wild in
North Carolina (which was partially
thornless) with other cultivated black-
the new thornless type was deve
and fixed with productiveness and
quality added, states Mr. Burbank.
“The amateur may take up the ex-
periment at this stage and produce
other thornless varietiys, remember-
ing, however, that it is not enough to
select a single fruit which shows the
qualities wanted, but the entire plant
which averages nearest to the ideal
sought, and which is developed
administered in milk or slop and the
berries for many generations,.. util |.

TIME DRAWS NEAR
FOR GREAT MOTOR CLASSIC
onair of the world’s great racing
drivers, Jerry Wonderlich. Affection-
ately dubbed the “sheik of Hollywood”
by the other famous speed pilots, he
has entered for the 250-mile classic on
June 13 at the Altoona speedway,
where he was seriously injured, al-
most killed, in a crash just one year
ago.
Fred J. Wagner, of Los Angeles, in-
ternationally known starter and
sportsman, who is the director of the
renowned clashes in Altoona, took
Wonderlich’s entry from Charlotte,
N. C., where Jerry raced on Confeder-
ate Memorial day, but was forced to
the background because of engine
trouble.
Roaring through life on the great
board ovals at speeds around 140
miles an hour, shaking hands with
the old grim reaper every minute of
their battle for the rich purses and
honors, the kings of speed have many
pet superstitions, but the jinx has the
high throne in the hard luck hierar-
chy. It is this monarch that grinning
Jerry treats so irreverently when he
signs to compete in Altoona on Flag
day. .
Only June 13, in itself an omen, can
tell whether or not during the course
of the terrific contest that a cloud of
dust will rise into the air as one of
those gallant heroes of speed crashes
off the board course on to the dirt
safety apron, which is really for the
safety of spectators, or huge timbers
flying into the air like match sticks as
one goes over the steep outer rim. If
either happens, it means but one thing
—one less of the great pilots lives to
exult in the victorious gamble speed.
Bluff, boyish Howdy Wilcox, was
the first to wager and lose his life in
the gamble when the speedway at Al-
toona was opened on Labor day, 1923.
Wonder'ich was the second on the list
of the jinx, but he survived, though
badly hurt and his car a complete
i wreck. Then generous Joe Boyer,
millionaire winner of last year’s In-
dianapolis classic, was killed in the
third race last Labor day. That’s the
jinx three.

through numerous generations.”
“How about the Himalaya berry ?”
“This was developed,” answered Mr.
Burbank, “from seed which was sent
to me from India, and for this reason |
it was named Himalaya berry. It.
bears a most prolific crop, a single
plant producing sometimes several!
hundred baskets of fruit in one sea- |
son. The bushes are enormous grow-
ers and very thorny. The berries of |
the Phenomenal Berry, which is a:
cross of the California dewberry and |
the Cuthbert blackberry often weight |
3 ounce each and measures three by
four inches around; by this their size
may be imagined. - Neither of ‘the
above varieties are hardy in the cold
northern States.”
“One would almost be tempted to '
specialize on blackberries alone—but
there are strawberries and raspber-
ries on our list.” 3
“And sunberries,” added Mr. Bur-
bank. “These are annuals, much like
the large huckleberries of the east,
are easily raised even on the poorest
of soil, and are grown much the same
as tomatoes. The plants bear great
quantities of berries, which have be-
come popular for cooking and canning.
“When eaten raw, the berries must
be allowed to ripen for two weeks
after turning black like some of the
blackberries, when they will be very
sweet, but if they are to be cooked or
canned they may be used one week
earlier.”
“Will they grow anywhere 2”
“Anywhere, and are not particular
about soil. Under good cultivation,
however, they produce 20,000 to 40,-
000 pounds of fruit to the acre. A lit-
tle black beetle, in some localities,
eats holes in the leaves of the young,
tender plants, but a dusting of air-
slaked lime holds the little rascals at
bay until the plants are able to care
for themselves.”
“We started out with strawberries,”
said the inquiring gardener, “and they
must not be overlooked.”
“No, no one forgets strawberries,
be he producer or consumer,” said Mr.
Burbank, “and, fortunately,
raising them is soon acquired, but a
study of soils must be made, so as to
adapt the plant to the soil. It is well,
however, not to have the ground too
heavily enriched, as it is apt to pro-
duce too rank a growth of foliage and
runners and the berries will have a
tendency to softness and lack of fla-
vor.
“After deep digging, fertilize with
old stable manure or, better, with
bonemeal. Make the beds about three
feet wide, planting in them three rows
of plants set about 16 inches apart
each way. Give them plenty of room
and keep the soil loose and soft by
