Within that time the number of telephones in this State has practically doubled, and the manufac- turing and installation forces of the Bell system have, for the most part, been kept busy keeping pace with this growth. Although this increase is continu- ing and the first eight months of this year showed a net increase of 15,555 in the number of Bell telephones in the State, officials of the company be- lieve that telephone development in Pennsylvania is still below what it should be. i There are in this State but 13.1 tel- ephones for every 100 population. New York State has 18.7 for every 100 persons, and Ohio, another adjoining State has 16.4. Iowa leads the list with 22.4 for every 100 persons, Illi- nois has 20.4 and Massachusetts 19.2. For Maryland, including the Dis- trict of Columbia, the figure is 14.7, while the New Jersey figure is 13.0 and that of Delaware is 11.1. The average for the United States is 14.1 telephones per 100 population. In the list of the 48 States Pennsylva- nia and New Jersey stand twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth respectively. Dur- ing the next few months a vigorous effort is to be made to bring the two latter States into the “first division,” which would mean a development of about 14.5 telephones per 100 persons. Big Attractions at Union County Fair. From September 29 to October 2 are the dates for Lewisburg’s fair this year, and with all buildings ren- ovated, special attractions and a three-heat race program, every heat a race, it promises to be bigger and bet- ter than ever. Racing begins at 1 p. m.

There is a special new building ex- clusively for educational exhibits, while on Friday 5,000 school children will be admitted free. The State’s ex- hibit of native wild animals will also be a feature. RUNVILLE. Mr. Daugherty, of Coudersport, is visiting his daughter, Mrs. James Mec- Clincy.
