TENT ERECTION BEGINS.
Grange park attachees have begun
the erection of tents for the big
Grange encampment which will open
on August 29th, and the addition to
the aditorium stage has been practic-
ally completed.
With two exceptions the campers of
1924 have retained their tents for the
coming encampment. Many others,
owning tents or securing them else-
where, have signified their intention
of camping on the park, so that indi-
cations point to a larger camp than
last year, and the usual effort will be
made to make campers comfortable
and happy.
For the entire week a program of
unusual interest is being prepared.
There will be plenty of new, novel, in-
structive and entertaining exhibits
and concessions on the ground, and
every taste can be satisfied.
Live stock, horticulture, farm crops,
machinery, automobiles, trucks, and
tractors, and numerous lines will be
well represented and well worth atten-
tion.
The needle-work department will be
conducted as for several years. For
articles not before exhibited, 10 cents
will be paid.
Tent rents remain $6.00 and $7.00,
according to size.
Campers should take oil stoves. Oil
can be purchased on grounds. When
so desired, electric light will be placed
in tents at renter’s expense.
Admission to grounds, 50 cents, 14
years and over—good for the week;
under 14 years, free. Automobiles, 50
cents, good for the week.

W. Groh Runkle Out for District
Attorney.
William Groh Runkle circulated his
petition yesterday as a candidate for
district attorney of Centre county. He
will run against John G. Love Esq.,
the Republican candidate. Mr. Run-
kle only recently decided to enter the
race and now that he is in it will make
a fight for the office. A number of
years ago he served two terms as dis-
trict attorney so knows all the ins
and outs of that branch of the profes-
sion.
A petition was also filed this week
for Hard P. Harris as a candidate for
burgess of Bellefonte. He is the only
candidate to date and will probably
have no opposition. The last day for

ship offices is Tuesday, August 18th.

personal effects, and local interest at-
taches to this item because one of the
two men was Arthur Beezer, of Belle-
fonte. He beat it out of the building
clad only in his night clothes.

Gap Johnson Knows
Value of Discretion
“A feller driving along in an old
hootin’ nanny car last night with its
lights out, ran onto a mule that was
laying in the road in front of Hoof
Holler’s house,” related Gap Johnson
of Rumpus Ridge. “The durn mule
started to get up just as the car ran
onto him and knocked him over. The
driver of the car gave a hoot of his
horn and a yell from himself, and the
mule laying on his back began to kick
and squeal.
“‘Say, what are you trying to do
with my mule? yelled its owner, run-
ning out of his house.
“ ‘You better ask him what he’s try-
ing to do to me and my car!’ the fei-
ler hollered right back.
“And as I'd seed and heered this
much and hadn’t no desire to mix in
a fight, belng as I was all down In
the back, I just went on and never did
find out the rest of it."—Kansas City
Star.
Art and the Haddock
On one of the piers in Portland an
old fishmonger told the legend of the
queer markings on the haddock. Just
abaft the fish's gills are two dark
blotches, like bruises, one on each
slide. And from each of these marks
runs a straight dark line back toward
the tail. The haddock, said this fish-
erman, was the fish with which Christ
fed the multitude (though that sounds
unlikely). This so annoyed the devil
that he tried to avenge himself on the
species. He seized one, holding it
tightly (hence the bruise mark), but
it slipped away. The devil's finger nails
made the long scratches on each side;
since when all haddocks carry that
pattern. And beanty, in any art, is
just as elusive as that haddock. It
cannot be nabbed between the thumb
and finger of any manifesto.—Chris-
topher Morley, in the Saturday Re-
view of Literature.
Totality
The little fellow at the corner, sell
ing papers, looked so forlorn and wist-
ful that the passing stranger couldn't
forbear speaking to him.
“What's your name, sonny?’ he
asked.
“Jim,” was the reply.
“Jim what?”
“Just Jim.”
“Well, what's your father’s name?”
“Ain't got no father.”
“Well, who's your mother—brothers
~sisters?” 2
“Ain't got none.”
“No one at all?” asked the man in
pity.
“Nope.” the boy answered. “When
you seen me you done seen all there
is of us."—American Legion Weekly.
