NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
——All the stores in Bellefonte will :
be closed on Monday, Labor day.
Rev. and Mrs. Robert Thena
and family will return from their va-
cation today and the pastor will be
in his pulpit for both services in the
Reformed church in this place on Sun-
day.

were put to work, last week, rebuild-
ing the Hall’s Run road from Snow
Shoe to Renovo.
graded and top-dressed and an effort
will be made to complete the work
this fall.
——The picnic season will close at
Hecla park next Monday (Labor day)
‘when the Odd Fellows of Centre an.
Clinton counties will hold their an-
nual reunion. A splendid program
has been arranged and the public in
general is invited to attend.
County treasurer Lyman L.
Smith has a large number of applica-
tions for doe licenses on file, many
of them being from hunters outside '
of Centre county, but up to the be-
ginning of this week he had not is-
sued any of the special licenses.
‘Registrar W. S. Hoffman, of
State College, has received almost
three thousand applications for en-
trance to the college this fall. Of this
number college authorities have de-
cided that only 1178 can be accommo-
dated with the present college facili-
Ties.
——Because of the hard rain stormn
on Tuesday evening of last week,
which prevented Wetzler’s Junior
band from giving a concert in Miles-
burg, they will entertain the public
on the lawn at the Baptist church, in
that place Sunday afternoon, at 3
o'clock. The public is invited.
——Centre county’s allotment of
the two per cent. State tax on pre-
miums on foreign fire insurance com-
Panies is $3203, which is divided
among the several boroughs and
fowns maintaining fire departments.
Checks for the above amount were
sent out from Harrisburg this week.
There will be no excuse this
year for any family in Centre county
to be without a supply of pickles. The
cucumber crop is one of the largest
ever grown in the county, and bushels
of them are offered for sale in the
Bellefonte curb market every Wed-
nesday and Saturday. There is also
an abundance of sweet corn.
There will be five crossings on
the new portion of the Bellefonte
Central railroad, from Struble sta-
tion to Fairbrook, and a count of the
vehicles passing over each road in
twenty-four hours is being made this
‘week for the purpose of determining
‘the liability of grade crossings. As
mone of the roads are important high-
ways it is hardly probable that traffic
is very heavy over any of them.
——On Tuesday afternoon ag Paul
and George Whitman, sons of Mr. and
Mrs. Boyd Whitman, of Hublersburg,
‘Were riding their bicycles on the state
road near their home, George was hit
by an automobile and thrown to the
side of the road. The driver of the
machine stopped, took the boy to his
home and later conveyed him to the
Lock Haven hospital. The lad is
fourteen years old and his injuries
consist of cuts and bruises. The ac-
cident was not the fault of the driy-
er of the machine.
W. R. Shope has the new build-
ing for the skewer factory almost
«completed and it won’t be many days
until it is ready for the installation
of the machinery. It will be recalled
that the plant, located on south Pot-
Ter street, was completely destroyed
by fire on the morning of August 2nd.
The building was owned by Mr.
Shope, the machinery by Lowe &
Coryell, of Williamsport and the oper-
ation of the factory was in charge of
Clarence Rine. The new building is
larger and more conveniently arrang-
ed than the old plant.
——On Monday of last week con-
siderable excitement was created
‘among residents of Snow Shoe when
a big airplane made a landing on the
Kelley field. Scores of people hurried
to the field to find out the reason for
‘the landing, and were surprised to
discover that the pilot was nineteen
year old Logan Kelley, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Logan Kelley, of Snow Shoe.
‘The young man has completed his
course in aviation at the St. Louis av-
iation school and is now piloting the
ship of Edward Bruzgue, of New York.
They had flown to Snow Shoe for a
few days outing in the mountains,
flying from there to Poughkeepsie, N.
Y., the latter part of the week.
~——About one hundred and fifty
business and professional men from
various section of Centre county,
made an informal call on Mr. George
Allen, at the warden’s residence at
Rockview penitentiary, on Sunday
evening. Mr, Allen is superintendent
of construction on all new work he-
ing done at the penitentiary and,
though he has been there for the
greater part of a year, he has been so
engrossed with his work that he has
had little opportunity to meet many
Centre county people and the gather-
ing, on Sunday evening, was for the
sole purpose of giving him an oppor-
tunity to get acquainted. The party
Spent several hours very pleasantly at
the Allen residence,
The road will be

HAVING A GRAND TIME.
Fine Weather, Beautiful Grounds anil
Splendid Exhibits Combine to
Make Many Thousands
Happy at Centre Hall
Park.
The 55th annual encampment and
exhibition of Pomona Grange of Cen-
tre county will be marked in the rec-
ord books of the organization as a
notable success. From last Saturday
until noon yesterday only one little
rain fall had occurred and it served
the purpose of keeping the grounds
from becoming dusty. Bright, warm
days, cool moon-lit nights, ample
ground space, well shaded, water and
electric light are all combining to
make life comfortable and cheery for
the three thousand or more who are .
tenting on the grounds.
It is hard to estimate the crowds |
of visitors that daily motor to the
park because the grounds have been
so enlarged in recent years that there
are people everywhere on the sev-
enty-eight acre tract, whereas form-
‘erly they were nearly all massed in
the square between the entrance and
the administration building. Those
competent to estimate say that the
daily attendance has been larger than
ever before. Especially is this true of
We have been visiting
the picnic annually since it started on
top of Nittany mountain in 1873 and
we are of the opinion that the crowd
that was on the grounds Wednesday
evening was not far short of what
would have been regarded as a far
Thursday attendance fifteen or twen-
ty years ago.
The program of entertainment has
been carried out as planned ,to the
letter. Such changes as have been
made have been by way of making
it even more interesting rather than
in apologizing for failure in living up
to advance promises.
SUNDAY A NOTABLE ONE.
The Sunday exercises, always not-
ed for proper decorum at Grange
Park, were unusually interesting this
year. Not alone because of the
splendid “Harvest Home” sermon
preached by Rev. J. Leidy Yearick
and the religious pageant presented
by the Spring Mills Community play-
ers but because of the contribution
of sacred music by the Lock Haven
quartette. It had not been expected
and was all the more enjoyed because
of the surprise feature and the su-
perb singing.
Monday was spent in placing ex-
hibits and getting the machinery of
operation in order so that everything
has been moving like clock-work,
from the handling of the crowds by
the gate keepers, the service of sup-
plies to the campers, to the final
touch of courteous attention at head-
quarters for the comfort and pleas-
ure of all who attend.
Tuesday’s program was carried
through as per schedule and another
successful day recorded.
THE GRAND ARMY REUNINES,
Wednesday was Grand Army and
educational day. For years the G. A.
R. has been hclding its annual meet-
ing and reunion with the Grangers.
On Wednesday 24 of the old boys
gathered there to carry on and had
there been twenty-four hundred of
them no greater fuss could have been
made. They were entertained at din-
ner in the Junior Farmer's building,
where Mrs. Joseph Nolan and an ef-
ficient corps of assistants served a real
meal. After the feast Capt. Fry in-
troduced Dr. Milton Dunlap, Luther-
an divine of Reading, who addressed
the Vets and the Junior farmers.
He was followed by L. H. Dennis, of
Harrisburg, director of vocational ed-
ucation, who adapted his talk so that
it was most entertaining and instruc-
tive both to the boy farmers and their
old boy guests. Dean Watts and Mr.
Fetterolf also spoke. Afterwards
the Veterans were taken in autome-
biles for an inspection of the entire
grounds.
At the meeting in the auditorium
Dr. Dennis spoke on education and
the Hon. J. Laird Holmes made the
address to the Veteran's association.
SPRING MILLS GRANGE WON $100.00
PRIZE.
In one of the several new exhibit
building on the grounds five of the
sub-ordinate Granges of the county
have made group displays. They cov-
er every phase of farm production.
The field, the garden, the orchard and
household arts. Everyone of them is
interesting in the extreme. Careful-
ly selected exhibits attractively ar-
ranged they constitute a show in
themselves. Spring Mills Grange was
awarded first prize of $100.00; Logan
Grange of Pleasant Gap got the sec-
ond prize of $80.00; Progress Grange
of Centre Hall third prize of $70.00;
Washington Grange of Pine Hall
fourth prize of $60.00 and Victor
Grange of Lemont fifth prize of
$50.00.
The main exhibition building was
crowded, as usual with exhibits such
as are always seen at fairs. Products
of the farm and garden were good,
when the peculiar season we have had
is taken into consideration. There is
not much in fruit because it is too
early for apples and other horticul-
tural products. The antique depart-
ment, however, contains enough cur-
ious to require a day of speculation
ag to how our fore-bears managed
things with such crude and lumbering
devices.
In the household arts department a
star quilt, two appliqued bed spreads,
a circular crocheted center piece and
a crotched bed spread, the latter, the
College, were specimens of needle
work that would attract notice in a
world’s fair.
Every department except those of
horses and poultry exceed any that
have ever been made before. The
many new buildings that have been
erected to house the exhibits in them
already show that awakening inter-
est means that others must be built
ere long. Down in the new cattle
barns are 75 holstein, 50 Guernseys
and a lot of short horn cattle. They
are not crowed yet, but breeders are
beginning to see that the Grange
show in Centre county is a place to
take good cattle. The new swine
building is nearly full too, so that
those who fancy the porcine route
that’s led Milo Campbell to “Easy
Street” can get a line on what good
hogs are.
{ BASE BALL HOLDS THE SPORT IN-
TEREST.
| Other millions might be up on their
; toes because the athletics are only
12% games behind the Yanks but
over at Centre Hall its different.
There the people who know the play-
iers and realize that the contests are
| wholly those of amateur skill are na-
turally all “het up” over the outcome
| of the pennant race in the Grange
: Park Association.
On Saturday Centre Hall defeated
McClure by the score of 5 to 3.
On Monday Boalsburg wiped up
Howard to the tune of 7 to 1.
med Orviston, 10 to 0.
Wednesday Centre Hall eliminated
Boalsburg by winning 11 to 4.
And as we go to press Centre Hall
and Pine Grove are fighting it out
over there to see which town will float
the Grangers pennant flag this fall.
All in all the picnic has. been a
great success from
While well - appointed grounds, and
perfect weather furnished the basis
on which to build, in themselves they
could not have produced such an en-
joyable show. It required the fore-
sight, the untiring energy, the tact-
ful handling of many annoying prob-
lems to build up the 1928 exhibition.
The committees in charge lead by
John S. Dale, chairman, and Miss
Edith H, Sankey, secretary, have done

WILL OPEN NEXT TUESDAY.
Repairs at High School Building Be-
ing Rushed to Completion.
When the faculty and hundreds of
pupils report at the High school
building for the opening of the pub-
lic schools next Tuesday morning
they will find a new and much wider
pavement leading from Allegheny
street to the main entrance of the
school building. Also a new concrete
floor in the main corridor on the first
floor. Both the floor and the pave-
ment were put down when the building
was erected in 1909, and as that is
nineteen years ago the constant wear
and tear of millions of footsteps wore
out the concrete to that extent where
it had to be replaced. As there was
some delay in starting the work con-
tractors Dunlap are hustling to get
it finished in time to give the build-
ing a thorough cleaning before the
opening of school.
When the schools open next week
there will be an increased attendance
over former years, but just how much
of an increase has not yet been deter-
mined. The regular school census has
been completed but the data collect-
ed has not been compiled and will not
be completed before the opening of
school. Probably the most noticeable
increase will be in the High school,
caused by the influx of pupils from
outside the district.
The two year High school course
at Milesburg has been abolished and
pupils from that borough will come
to the Bellefonte High school. The
school at Milesburg was closed be-
cause there were only nine pupils en-
tered last year for the two years
course and the expense was out of
proportion to the number of students.
There will be two changes and one
addition to the High school faculty
- this year. Robert Cresswell will take
the place of C. C. Bream, athletic di-
| rector, and Paul Beaver, will have
| charge of the Latin course instead of
: Mr. Shank. Miss Grace Mitchell will
ibe a special instructor
, mathematics.
' Mrs. Eleanor Cook McDowell will
have charge of the primary grade, in
: the brick building on Bishop street, in
| place of Miss Williams, resigned. All
{the other teachers will be back in
. their places.

| Remains of William P. Rice Buried
on Saturday.
The remains of William P. Rice,
{Tho was killed in an automobile ac-
|
cident at Reading, on Tuesday of last |
i week, were brought to Bellefonte on
| Friday evening and taken to the home
,of his aunt. Mrs. A. C. Gingery, on
! Pine street, where funeral services
i were held at ten o’clock on Saturday |
morning, burial being made in the
i Sunnyside cemetery.
So far as known the young man
| responsible for William’s fatal acci-
| dent has not been apprehended. That
, the man was a criminal of the per-
I verted type goes without argument.
| He not only stole the car but in or-
(der to avoid arrest drove like mad
through a congested portion of the
streets of Reading, and after he had
cent passenger to his death waited
not to mourn over the tragedy but
made a quick getaway.
In traveling about the country as
a worker for the International Bible
Students association, trying to do good
as he saw the light, William was
prone to accept rides from any pass-
ing motorist who would give him a
lift, and when he accompained the
stranger to Reading. Tuesday of last
week, it is a safe conclusion that he
had no knowledge of the character of
the driver or that the car had been
stolen.
The crash in which he was killed
must have been terriffic, as both his
legs, his arms and his neck were
broken. Naturally he died within a
few minutes,

——Special licenses to kill doe deer
in Centre county will be issued on the
basis of eight special licenses to each
legal buck deer killed during the 1927
season. As there were 1645 bucks re-
ported killed in Centre county last

lock are making arrangements to
make public sale of all their house-
hold furniture on September 15th,
and leave Bellefonte, at least for a
time. It will be recalled that Mr.
Bullock was injured a month or more
ago by being hit by an automobile
as he was crossing south Water street,
opposite his shop. His injuries are of
such a nature that, while he is able
to be around, he may not be able to
do any work for some months, so he
and his wife have decided to ‘dispose
of their household goods and do a
little roamin’ They will leave Belle-
fonte as soon as they can arrange to
after September 15th and go to Tulsa,
Okla., to the home of Mrs. Bullock's
brother. Further than that they have
made no plans.
