To be Held December 23rd, and Farm- ers and Farmers Wives are Urged to Attend. An innovation in the average farm- er’s gathering will be made this year on the occasion of the annual meet- ing of the Centre county Agricultural Extension Association in Belle- fonte, in that the farmer’s wives are also invited and a meeting is being especially arranged for their benefit. The meetings will be held on Decem- ber 23rd, and the association will gather in the Moose Temple theatre. The morning session, which will con- vene promptly at 10 o’clock will be devoted to hearing the report of the treasurer and that of county agent R. C. Blaney on the work done last year. Then will follow the election of offi- cers for the ensuing year. As a part of the extension report there will be a discussion of the more important projects in several communities in the county, such as the sweet clovex pasture demonstration, 500 bushels of potatoes an acre, soybeans as an emergency hay crop, how a ton litter is produced, forestry planting, cow testing association, three year’s re- sults and presentation of National Dairy diplomas to 300 per cent. herds, boys and girls potato clubs, ete. Fol- lowing these reports R. H. Bell, of the Extension Department of State College, will discuss an extension pro- gram, At the same time the Association meeting is being held in the Moose Temple theatre a meeting will be held for the ladies in the grand jury rcom in the court house. This meeting will be under the direction of Miss Mary E. Reynolds, home economics. worker, of State College, and Miss Madge Bogart, director of home economics extension work at the College, will talk on “The Convenient Kitchen.” The afternoon session in the Moose theatre will be for both men and wo- men. F. P. Weaver, of State College, will talk on “Who Pays the Taxes.” C. H. Hadley, director of the bureau ! of plant industry, of Harrisburg, will give an illustrated lecture on “The Corn Borer and It’s Control.” This subject should be of vital interest to the farmers and all business men, as the borers were found in Potter town- ship this fall and Centre county has been placed under the corn borer quarantine, The Agricultural Extension Asso- ciation is an educational organization for agricultural improvement and all farmers as well as those interested in farming are considered as members. Because of this fact not only the farm- ers and farmer's wives but the pub- lic in general is invited to attend this meeting. ————— Penn State Captures Grand Champion- ship. : Exhibits of the Pennsylvania State College at the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago last week, won a liberal share of the championships and first prizes.

Telephone 925-R-12 LIFE A DAILY TURMOIL IN FAR OFF CHINA LAND. Mrs. North Tells Some of the Sum- mer’s Diversions in the Flowery Kingdom. Chungking, China, Sept. 20. Dear Home Folks: I know you must be especially con- cerned about us now, if accounts of recent events here have appeared in the home papers. Life in China is certainly anything but monotonous. We never know one day what may happen the next. In fact, only last Saturday most of our women folks in the city were all packed up and ready to get on a steamer and go down the river that afternoon. Out here in the country, however, we were so ignorant of conditions in the city and across the river that we didn’t have time to pack when the message came saying the city folks were getting ready tc leave. Ignor- ance is certainly a bliss here in China, many times. But I must go back to the begin- ning. Ever since the shooting affair | at Shanghai, which resulted in most of ! the British having to go down the river a year ago, the Chinese have had it in for the British. You see there are quite a few British firms here in Chungking and they operate steamers on the Yangste river. The steamers have been a thorn in the flesh ever since they appeared on the river, but the British-owned ones seemed to be the most obnoxious. It is quite a favorite stunt of the soldiers to fire upon the steamers as they go up and down. Just at present, General Yang Sen, | who was Governor of Szechwan when we were in Chengtu, and to whose home we were invited when we were there, is in charge of Wanhsien, the first city of any importance below Chungking. It is quite a strategic centre, as it is at the entrance to the gorge as you go down the river. Well several weeks ago one of the British steamers, the Wan Lin, sank a boat- load of soldiers, so the Chinese say. According to the captain of the Wan Lin, the soldiers tried to stop the steamer in order to get on for a free passage up the river, which is a com- mon stunt of Chinese soldiers. When the captain refused to give them pas- sage the soldiers, of course, fired upon the steamer, and the captain put ou full steam ahead and probably did sink the junk. Anyway, that’s the be- ginning of the rumpus. General Yang Sen then proceeded to fire upon and hold up all British steamers at Wanhsien. The British gunboat demanded the release of the steamers under penalty of firing on the city. The Chinese soldiers on shore then began firing on the gunboat and the latter opened fire on the city and j did considerable damage. Several men on the gunboat were killed and ten or more wounded, while the report is that seventy or more Chinese were killed. Well, you can imagine what a mess that stirred up here in Chungking, which is noted as an anéi-foreign and particularly anti-British ‘centre. All of the patriotic organizations of the city got together and decided to boycott the British as they did last year. On Saturday, September 18th, a big dem- ! onstration was held in the city but the British had departed that morning on a Standard Oil steamer—an American boat. It still remains to be seen { whether they will get past Yang Sen {and Wanhsien. Fortunately, they had i some time in which to get ready so I ‘guess most of them took what bag- ! gage they wanted with them. The British council is in Wanhsien | and the American consul has been re- i sponsible for the British in Chung- king. Saturday morning he received word that a riot had broken out in the British community across the river, and realizing that if things got so bad that the American gunboat would come to have to interfere in defense of the British that the Americans would be- come involved also. Consequently he sent word to the folks in the city to be prepared to leave at four o’clock that afternoon. A meeting of the mission folks was: held at which it was decided that the women and children should go and the men follow later, if necessary. Mr. Peat sent a man out to us with the news but Mrs. Rape and I decided we’d trust to the Lord and our Chinese teachers to see us through safely and’ we’d stay with our husbands. We: didn’t make any preparations to leave and Bill and I went down to Rape’s for a Chinese dinner. While there an- other note came from Mr. Peat saying that the consul had been misinformed concerning conditions across the river and we shouldn’t prepare to leave right away. Of course we all felt relieved, as we wouldn’t have had an exactly easy feeling if all the folks in the city had gone off. Our Chinese teachers say that there is nothing for us to worry about, that there is no ill-feeling at all against. Americans. Certainly everything out here in the country is calm and peace- ful enough and our students seem to have a very fine spirit. But enough for this time. Mrs. W. R. NORTH. Bellefonte Borough Council Brief Meeting. Holds Only five members were present at the regular meeting of borough coun- cil, on Monday evening. In the ab- sence of president John S. Walker, who was confined to his home with illness J. M. Cunningham was chosen to preside.

The committee also reported that the meter bills for the quarter ending October 1st, to- taling $4168.09, are ready for collec- tion. And further that $6000 insur- ance had been placed on the new pump building, which with $3000 on the equipment, makes a total of $9000. The Fire and Police committee re- ported the fire at the Johnson home, on Saturday, and . also that the fire alarm is out of order. The committee was instructed to have the same re- paired. The Finance committee reported that the borough treasurer had paid a note of $7000 and had a balance on hand December 1st of $10,774.67. The committee also asked for the renewal of notes aggregating $8,500. Bills were approved to the amount of $4500 after which council took in a motion picture demonstration, given in the council chamber by representa- tives of the Ford Auto company, of a Fordson tractor and snow plow as well as a tractor and road scraper in operation.
