The committee in charge has been at work — | for some time making arrangements which will assure a big gathering. It will be the time and the place for ju- dicial candidates to get in their work in the west end of the county, and we expect tc see them all here. The picnic and festival at Pine Hall, last Saturday, were largely attended. The Citizen’s band furnished music but a heavy downpour of rain damp- ened the ardor of the picnickers.

Man and beast require salt to pro- mote the flow of gastric juice. De- prived of salt, indigestion will result. It has been said that the failure of Napoleon’s drive on Moscow was caus- ed.by the loss of his salt supply. With- out salt his soldiers weakened and many died. In an enlightening account of salt history, The Progressive Grocer says that salt is known as “sodium chlor- ide” in chemistry and as “halite” in’ geology. It is found in the ocean, in salt lakes and in earth deposits the same as coal. Sea water yields one-quarter pound of salt to a gallon, water in the Great Salt Lake, one and three-quarter pounds to a gallon, and in the Dead Sea, two and one-quarter pounds to a gallon. The United States produces over 99 per cent. of the salt consumed in this country. Our production in 1928 was 7,130,713 tons, valued at $36,837,162. The famous mines of Wieleczka, Poland, have been known of since 1000 A. D. A brine spring was found on Avery’s Island, Louisia- na, by a deer hunter in 1791. The Kansas mines were discovered by an oil-well driller who left them in dis- gust. They are about six miles wide and one hundred miles long. The Michigan mines are the deepest in the world. It took three years to reach the deposits, which are 1,150 feet be- low the surface. There are general gradings of salt known as rock salt, extra coarse salt, ranging from the size of your finger on down, and fine table salt. Free- running salt is prepared by adding calcium phosphate, which is a bone- builder and does not impair the puri- ty. Iodine is a natural content of salt and when it has not been removed in the process of evaporation, or it has been replaced later, such salt is a goi- tre preventive. Celery salt is prepar- ed in combination with celery seeds and onion salt is salt combined with ground dehydrated (evaporated) on- ions. nse fp mn Almost an Alibi.

Good roads and street improvements have always follpwed in civilization’s wake, _- The Whiterock quarries are work- ing over-time in order to fill incoming orders. ‘Mrs. T. E. Jodon spent the latter part of last week visiting friends at Altoona. Mrs. Lloyd Sampsel entertained her Sunday school class on Thursday last, in Noll’s grove. Rev. Ray Williams and wife, of Bed- ford, spent the past week visiting friends at the Gap. Master Kenneth Grove, of Lewis- town, is making an indefinite visit with grandmother Herman. Miss Margaret Swartz spent a very pleasant week with her old-time friend, Mrs. David Crum, at Lines- villé. Pa. The Lutheran festival in Noll’s grove, Saturday night, was a financial success. The liberality of our people know no bounds. Freeman Hile, one of our expert an- glers, landed a nice string of trout on Saturday night. Freeman rarely ever comes home whitewashed. The Pleasant Gap fire alarm, the Whiterock whistle, is as follows: 5 blasts—Upper end of town. T7—Low- er end of town. 9—Horntown. 1 blast —Fire out. Raymond Melroy, president of the Sportsmen’s Association at the Gap, spent three days attending the Na- tional Sportsmen’s Association in ses- sion at Scranton, this week. Henry Noll tregted his little daugh- ter to a ride in his airplane a few days ago. The youngster was so delighted that she told her grandmother that the plane goes twice as fast as their automobile. 2 Leslie Miller and family, of Wood- lawn, after a two week’s visit at the Gap and Aaronsburg, returned to their home on Sunday morning. Leslie says they never had a more satisfac- tory visit to their old home than the present occasion. Our two church congregations, the Methodist and Lutheran, have very wisely decided to hold a combination picnic next Saturday, at Hecla park. This shows the manifestation of the proper kind of spirit prevailing in our community. A good attendance and an enjoyable time is assured. It is es- timated that between four and five hundred boys and girls will respond to the call. 3 Poets may live a century of years, but they never grow old. It is univer- sally conceded that they stand among the highest and foremost men, at the head of the human race. Their mem- ory is a sweet-smelling immortal flow- er. If any men are inspired, the poets are. Their speech is the purest, their ideas the grandest, their sentiments the most divine. Paul, the most elo- quent man of his age, was a poet, with reverence and sincerity. Jesus of Nazareth was a poet. The prophets of Heaven’s interpreters were poets. I see a notice in one of the papers, emanating from a certain beauty doc- tor, who solicits her patrons to call at her office and have their knees paint- ed. We are surely living in a fast age and progressing beyond comprehen- sion. Our girls can be accommodated right here at home. Our artistic painter, Jack Noll, is onto his job, and is always eager to accommodate the most fastidious patrons. He is up-to- date in all kinds of tedious work re- quiring special attention, and it is. needless to say that this kind of work especially appeals to him. Why is it so? The average men farmers, in the past few years have become more enlightened to taking advantage of the up-to-date methods of farming simply because it means dollars and cents in their pockets. But the women have failed to keep up to the standard. A lady visitor recently said to me, “We are so set in our ways and the way my grandmother did things is still good enough for me.” This state of affairs is all the more de- plorable because it is so unnecessary; for all it does is to produce an over- worked housewife, an illy managed home and a family unfit to produce their best results. The woman on the average farm home spends fifteen or sixteen hours per day doing house work. Why? Because she is using her hands and not her head in the caring for her home. A household, to be successful, must run on a business basis, the woman in charge of it us- ing her brain to do the biggest share of the work, regardless of how capa- ble she considers her hands. House- holds run along the old-fashioned hit or miss ways are extravagant from a cash standpoint, and they are sinful in their waste of human strength and efficiency. We must adopt modern im- provements, make our kitchen first- class and our efforts will be rewarded with half the expense. Our farmers in Centre county seem to be getting along amazingly well, things seem to be coming their way; our wagon roads have been wonder- fully improved the past ten years, and our railroad facilities are superb, and all the products of the farm are in great demand in the nearby towns; our means for communication are modern in every detail; rural free de- livery of mail and telephone lines are available all cver the country, and we are favored with exceptional educa- tional advantages. However, there is room for the advancement of special forms of horticulture and farming. The production of truck and fruit growing are the most profitable en- terprises awaiting development. In the course of time Centre will rank among the first agricultural counties. Fruit growing is neither difficult nor expensive, when compared with the rewards in sight. Fresh fruit from your own trees or vines is a luxury you might as well enjoy if you have only a small lot. Many kinds and va- rieties can be planted on the lawn or along the fence for ornamental effect as well as for the luscious fruits you obtain. It is a foregone conclusion that fruit growing for profit brings greater rewards for the labor requir- HOW TO SOLVE A CROSS-WORD PUZZLE When the correct letters are placed ii the white spaces this pussle will spell words both vertieally and horizontally.

As a matter of fact the man who puts his heart in- to it, studies the proper principles and methods and puts them into effect will have the greatest success. It is to be regretted that many of our farmers aré, slow in realizing what money there is in raising fruit judiciously. To those about to embark in fruit raising I would say, choose varieties that are adapted to your particular requirements as well as to your soil and climate. Select varieties that will ripen at the season when prices are the highest. For home use, your se- lection should include early, medium and late varieties, so as to cover as long a ripening season as possible. Farmers be wise and don’t neglect fruit raising. BOALSBURG. Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Musser, of Belle- fonte, were guests at the home of Austin Dale, on Tuesday. Quite a number of Reformed church people attended a reunion at Rolling Green park, last Thursday.

Applications for the staging of horse pulling contests at farmers’ pic- nics and county fairs are still coming in to Joseph M. Vial, horse extension specialists at The Pennsylvania State College. Last week the Blair and Huntingdon county fairs joined the rapidly increasing list of manage- ments dating up the new dynamome- ter which has been received at Penn State from the Iowa State College. There are now ten counties in which the “How much can your horses pull?” contests will be held during August, September and October. Oth- ers have made inquiries and Vial ex- pects to have the “plllometer” busy throughout the county fair season. The first appearance of the dynamo- meter will be at the Susquehanna Val- ley Farmers’ picnic at Rolling Green park, near Sunbury, on August 12th. The Blair county contests will be held August 19-22; Westmoreland, August 27; Huntingdon county September 1 and: 2; Mercer county, 3 and 4; Ches- ter county, 11 and 12; Jefferson, 15 and 16; Fayette, 17 and 18; Beaver, 24 and 25 and Bucks October 7 and 8. No difficulty is being experienced by Vial and county agents in obtaining horse and mule team entrants for the contests; team owners appear very anxious to see what their teams can really pull in competition, re r——————— re —————— —Get your job work done here.

I got this fact from the bishop of the diocese. If you will let your glass stand half an hour you can separate the land from the water as easy as Genesis, and then you will find them both good—the one to eat, the other to drink. The land is very nourishing, the water is thoroughly wholesome. The one appeases hunger, the other, thirst. But the natives do not take them separately, but together, as na- ture mixed them.
