GRANGE FAIR AND
ENCAMPMENT NEWS.
Erection of Tents will be Started
Soon. Demand Exceeds Supply.
Erection of tents will be begun on
Grange park within a few days, which
will be evidence of the fact that an-
other year has passed and the open-
ing of the annual Grange fair and en- |
campment, with all its unique fea-
tures, is drawing near. The camp,
containing hundreds of tents, and the
largest encampment held in connec-
tion with a fair east of the Mississippi
river, will be increased this year by
the erection of many additional tents
which have already been engaged for
the week. At that the demand far.
exceeds the supply, much to the re-
gret of the committee in charge. In
addition to the tents for rent many
persons who own tents have made
application for ground space on which
to erect them. Such tents will be wir-
ed and the ground rent, including
light, will be $4.00. In the case of
tents of an excessive size an addition-
al charge will be made.
The comfort of the campers is of
paramount importance and every ef-
fort will be made for better sanita-
tion, removed of garbage and rubbish,
and the location of tents.
There is every indication that the
up-to-date dairy and hog barns erect-
ed on Grange park this year will be
filled with live-stock of a superior
quality, all coming from breeders in
Centre county. The old barn on the
north side of the grounds will be fitted
for special exhibits, such as coming
from schools and Gianges of Centre
county, and as never before has there
been space for proper display of ex-
hibits in this division, something very
fine may be expected.
The music feature for the week
should appeal to camper and visitor
alike, as it will come from bands in
Centre county—a band for each day,
beginning Saturday, August 25th,
Sunday included; and these bands
have achieved a reputation for excel-
lent work and assure the public pien-
ty of good music, a great aiq in giv-
ing pleasure to a group of people in
the great out-doors.
The plays in the contest, presented
each evening in the auditorium, wil
be up to the standard of past years;
and an entertainment is planned for
Sunday evening which will surpass
anything attempted in that line. We
bespeak for it an appreciative audi-
ence.
Some unusual features in connec-
tion with the base ball games which
have been arranged for the week will
be certain to arouse exciting interest.
William B. Lyons Adorns Front Page
of Warner-American News,
The front page cover of the Warn-
er-American News, for July, has as
a special adornment an unusually
good picture of William B, Lyons,
who has charge of the steel drum op-
erations at the Bellefonte plant. Mr.
Lyons is one of the oldest and most
reliable employees of the American
Lime and Stone company and has won
his present position through his own
earnest and diligent efforts.
As a further pictorial contribution
to “Bellefonte Blasts” is a group pic-
ture of seven of the employees at the
local plant, namely: Paul Gentzel,
Willis Neff, Wilbur Gordon, Ambrose
Smead, Lynn Fromm, Francis Rine
and. Jesse Confer.
Included in the “Blasts” is one item
that has our whole-hearted commen-
dation. It is:
“The world’s champion pest is the
guy who gets up at 6 a. m. and warms
his motor long enough to get the
whole neighborhood wide awake and
cussing.”

——Col. Walter B. McCaskey and
wife arrived at State College, the lat-
ter part of the week, where the Col-
onel has been assigned as comman-
dant of cadets. Just thirty-two years
ago he graduated at State when the
college was just beginning to attract
notice in the educational world, and
now to come back as commandant
with the remembrance that he at one
time was a cadet there must be a
unique experience.
CHT.
Bad Auto Wreck on Bald Eagle Road
Monday Morning.
One of the most destructive auto-
mobile smash-ups that has taken
place in Centre county this year hap-
pened at the Plum Grove school
house, on the Bald Eagle Valley con-
crete state highway, about eleven
o’clock on Monday morning, and al-
though there were nine people in the
two machines, and all were cut and
bruised, not one of them sustained
really serious injuries.
E. E. Rider, who with his wife and
two daughters have been visiting Mrs.
Rider’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. William
Brower and family, in Union town-
ship, was the driver of a truck, which
figured in the accident. He had with
him the members of his family and a
young brother of Mrs. Rider. They
were headed for Bellefonte and just
as they came out of the side road at
Plum Grove onto the state highway
a touring car driven by Salvatore
Yosua, of Osceola Mills, and contain-
ing four men, crashed into them.
The truck was overturned and Mrs.
Rider and one of her daughters were
thrown out but fortunately fell free
of the machine. The entire left side
of the truck was smashed in by the
impact, the top badly broken and the
machine wrecked generally. The tour-
ing car fared little better, as it, also,
was practically reduced to junk. A
field of corn just east of the Plum
Grove road prevented the driver of
the touring car from seeing the truck
until it came out ontothe highway
right in front of him, but instead of
turning to the right in an effort to pass
the truck in safety he turned to the
left hoping to beat around it, but by
so doing hit it headon right back of
the front wheel.
Mrs. Rider sustained quite a good
sized cut on her right leg below the
knee and a number of slight cuts and
bruises on the head and body. One
of her daughters had a cut on the
head and a number of contusious. Mr.
Rider suffered a back injury while
both of the others in the truck sus-
tained slight cuts and bruises.
All of the men in the touring car
looked as if they had been in a free-
for-all fight, though none of them
were seriously hurt. Passing motor-
ists brought all of them to Bellefonte
and after a physician had looked after
their injuries a hearing was held be-
fore Squire Woodring, at which it
developed that no one really was to
blame and an amicable settlement was
made.
Bellefonter’'s Get Fine Reception of
Fight Returns.
“We made no mistake” when
we said that the Tunney-Heeny fight
returns would be received on the Brem-
er-Tully counterphase radio installed
in the Bush House cigar store, by
Gray’s radio service, “neither will
you,” when you have one put into your
own home.
It was estimated that several hun-
dred people occupied all the available
space on the street in front of the
Bush House Thursday night, and
many others living within two blocks
could hear the return very distinct-
ly without moving from their favor-
ite ir in their homes. Clearly
every announcement made in the
Yankee Stadium came in, listeners
getting the fight as accurately as if
being an eye witness.
The universal commendation for
the down town reception of the fight
was due to Carl Gray, through his
machine. The B. T. has little inter-
ference, that being controlled by its
exclusive rejector stage. It is a sin-
gle dial set with a patented indicator
and the new out-put idea makes it
possible for the user to choose the
tone characteristic he prefers. The ra-
dio is cheap because it is so good.
Carl will tell you of its superior
quality.

——Bellefonte and Centre county
got a touch of the Arctic wave which
swept over the northwestern portion
of the United States and Canada last
week. Cooler weather was apparesit
on Saturday and continued until the
middle of this week. In fact the
nights were unseasonably cold. Mon-
day morning the temperature was
down to 54 above zero and on Tues-
day morning thermometers registered
48, which was just ten degrees above
the frost line. While such low temp-
erature is unusual it is not withoui
precedent, as back in 1880 there was
a frost on the 4th of July which prac-
tically ruined the corn crop in Centre
county.
——According to statistics publish-
ed in the National Underwriter, for
July, life insurance death claims paid
in Bellefonte last year totaled $116,-
800, a greater amount than was paid
to legatees in many towns much larg-
er than Bellefonte. The most insur-
ance paid on any individual in Bella-
fonte was $23,800 on the late A. C.
Mingle.
——Rev. G. F. Gass, who for eight
years was pastor on the Reformed
charge at Howard, died on Wednes-
day, at a hospital in Bedford, as the
result of injuries sustained in an au-
tomobile accident last Friday. He was
75 years old, and is survived by his
wife, one daughter and a step-daugh-
ter.
——The Department of Public In-
struction announces that Centre coun~
ty ranks eleventh of all the counties
in the State in the number of male
school teachers employed. The per-
centage is 32 males to 68 females.
Old Ore Mine.
Jacob Confer Jr. son of Mr. and
Mrs. Confer, of Pennsylvania Fur-
nace, was drowned in an old ore mine
filled with water near Marengo, in
Ferguson township, on Sunday, July
22nd, and his body was not recovered
until Monday of this week. Confer
worked on the farm for Elmer Fisher
and on the day he disappeared he had
gone out to repair a fence that the
cattle had broken down. When he
failed to return at meal time members
of the Fisher family were not alarm-
ed as they thought he had gone to his
home at Pennsylvania Furnace.
But when he failed to return to
work the next day inquiry was made
and it was then learned that he had
not gone home. A search was insti-
tuted and continued all week and it
was not until Sunday that the young
man’s clothing was found on the
banks of the old ore mine, in one of
the back fields of the Fisher farm.
County detective Leo Boden, of Phil-
ipsburg, was notified and with others
dragged the mine without results.
The dragging was resumed on Mon-
day and the body finally located in
about thirty feet of water. Confer
was a fair swimmer and it is believ-
ed he had been seized with cramps
or became ill while in the water, which
caused him to sink and drown.
Coroner W. H. Heaton held an n-
quest on Tuesday morning and the
jury returned a verdict of accidental
death by drowning. In addition to
his parents the young man is surviv-'

Bellefonte Skewer Factory Wiped Out
by Fire.
The Bellefonte skewer factory, lo-
cated in buildings on south Potter
street, opposite the Atlantic Refining
company station, was completely de-
stroyed by fire, between one ‘and two
o'clock yesterday morning. The fac-
tory was located in two buildings
owned by W. R. Shope and the fire
started in a small passageway be-
tween the buildings, according to the
best evidence obtainable. Both build-
ings were of frame construction and
the flames made rapid progress; in
fact had made such a start by the
time the firemen arrived upon the
scene that it was impossible to save
the plant, and the efforts of the fire-
men were directed to keeping the fire
from spreading to adjoining buildings.
While Mr. Shope owned the build-
ings the machinery was owned by
Lowe & Coryell, of Williamsport, and
operation of the plant was in charge
of Clarence Rine, of Bellefonte. A
draft of railroad cars were standing
on the siding: close to the plant but
fortunately all of them were steel cars
and the only damage done was to the
running board of a tank car, which
was considerably charred.
At the time of going to press it was
impossible to get any figures on the
loss sutained by the several owners,
but it was all insured. The burning
of the plant will probably put an end
to the skewer factory in Bellefonte.
Centre Hall Young Man Held for {
Death at Lewistown.
Paul Wenrich, of Centre Hall, is
being held at Lewistown for the death
of Christian Speicher, fifteen year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Abram
Speicher, which occurred last Satur-
day. Wenrich was the driver of a
truck owned by Ray Aumiller, of Mif-
flin county. Speicher was riding a
horse when Wenrich drove along the
road with a load of lumber. The horse
frightened at the truck and Speicher
was thrown off sustaining a fracture
of the skull which resulted in his
death, - :
Both Ray Aumiller, the owner of
the truck, and Wenrich were arrested,
on Sunday, but the former was di:
charged when it was definitely deter-
mined that he had not been near the
truck at the time of the accident.
Wenrich, however, has been held for
further investigation.
Newton Hamilton Camp Meeting was
Opened Today.
The fifty-fifth annual camp meet-
ing and third annual Bible conference

ing camp, at Newton Hamilton, and
will continue over Sunday, August
12th. Bishop Joseph F. Berry will be

while a large corps of ministers and
Bible teachers will take part. A reg-
istration fee of $2.00 is charged and

——Mrs. Joyce Carey, a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Showalter, of
Bellefonte, sustained a fracture of the
left shoulder, one day last week, when
she fell down the stone steps at the
teachers’ college, in Lock Haven,
where she was taking the summer
course. She is now at the home of
her parents in Bellefonte.
——Paul Bennett, of Runville, some
six weeks ago deserted his wife and
four children and ran away with Mrs.
W. H. Rote, of Milesburg, who also
left her husband and several children.
On Tuesday the erring couple were
lcated at Windber and placed under
arrest. They will be brought back to
Bellefonte for trial.
——No marriage licenses were is-
sued by register Harry Rossman dur-
ing the past week.
