Edison, the electrical ‘wizard of the world, with Mrs. Edison and the latter’s brother, Lewis Miller, spent Friday night in Bellefonte as guests at the Hotel Mark land. The party were on their way by automobile to the Edison home in East Orange, N. J., from Chautauqua Lake, N. Y., where, in company with Henry Ford, they attended the Gol- den Light Jubilee celebration held there last week. The eighty-two year old inventor bears his age remarkably well. He stands and walksas erectasa sol- | dier on parade. His eyesight is un- "usually good and his only defect is his hearing—being as deaf as the , proverbial lamp-post. The Edisons | visited Bellefonte on August 9th, 11926, at which time they spent the i night at the Brockerhoff house, so it ‘was quite natural that they went there again last Friday. On being told of the Markland they decided to spend the night there but instead of getting in their car and driving around the block “in state,” Mr. and Mrs. Edison and Mr. Miller walked there by way of Cherry alley. As a mark of courtesy landlord M. i A. Landsy sent their meals from the Markland and served them there. The service was so punctual that Mr. Edison asked the waitress if she had come over in an airplane. = When she answered in the negative he tap- ped her on the leg and said, “these are your airplanes.” When they were about ready to leave the hotel landlord Landsy ask- ed Mr. Edison to register his name and those of his party in his own handwriting, and he graciously com- plied. But when he came to chauf- feur the electrical wizard was stump- ed and he turned to Mrs. Edison and : agked how to spell it. She wrote it lon a slip of paper and Mr. Edison copied it in the register. | When he was here three years ago ‘ burgess Hard P. Harris tock him out "to see the Bellefonte spring and also : showed him the big trout in Spring | creek and one of the first questions { he asked, on Friday evening, was ‘whether the big trout are still in ‘the creek. And before leaving, on Saturday morning, he had his chauf- { where they all got out and watched | the trout being fed chopped beef by | Charlie Brachbill. Mrs. Edison also tried her hand at throwing in some of the meat. As it was late, Friday evening, | when the Edison party reached Belle- | fonte, and they left at eight o’clock Saturday morning, comparatively few | people knew they were here or gota i sight of them. But employees of the | the distinguished visitors while they { were viewing the fish.

It | will be recalled that two years ago a i quarantine was placed on a portion { of Potter township because of evi- | dence of the borer in that section, { but last year no infected fields were ! found. The inspection being made | this week is not because of any com- plaint but merely as a precaution- rary measure to prevent the pest from securing a foothold in this sec- tion of the State. | According to county agent R. C. | Blaney the borer makes it appear- ‘ance first in the tassel of the corn ‘and can be detected by broken down | and wilted stems of the tassel. From | the tassel the borer continues its | journey down through the peth of ! the corn stalk, and it is this journey | that proves disastrous to the growing icorn. Some farmers imagine that | the borer attacks the corn ears and ‘eats the grain while. in the milk | stage, but that is a mistake. That is the ear worm that does that damage, i but it is not plentiful enough to be considered a menace. There is a quarantine, however, against the borer, and every farmer should inspect his own corn field for traces of this destructive pest. OFFICER’S REUNION WILL BE HELD AT BOALSBURG. An annual reunion of all officers who have served and are now on duty with the Pennsylvania Nation- al Guard, as well as all officers who served in the Twenty-eighth division during the World War, will be held at the officers’ club, on the estate of Col. Theodore Davis Boal, at Boals- burg, on Saturday and Sunday, Sep- tember 28th and 29th. The committee who will have charge of the arrange- ments for the camp is composed of Brigadier General Edward Martin, Lieutenant Colonels Samuel W. Rhoads and Frank A. Warner, and Major Gerard S. Bryce. The officers’ club at Boalsburg has been selected as the place for holding the reunion because it is centrally located and the logical spot for such a gathering. As this will be the first time that such a meeting of officers will have been held it is planned to make it one of outstanding promi- nence. Brockerhoff house kitchen to the, CAPT. FRY HONOR GUEST AT JOINT REUNION. In the crowd of three hundred or more people who attended the joint reunion of old Pine Grove Academy students and members of the Fry clan, at Pine Grove Mills, last Satur- day, an even forty registered as old students while the others were there to honor the dean of the Fry family, Capt. W. H. Fry. The gathering was held on the Academy lawn and the morning hours were spent in ex- changing happy greetings. At noontime the tables were set on the lawn and though it took two servings to take care of the crowd there was a bounteous repast for all and much to spare. Two large cakes, emblematic of Capt. Fry's 86th an- niversary, were much in evidence. One of them was baked by Miss Vir- ginia Dale, Capt. Fry's granddaugh- ter, and the other by Mrs. Marie Kirkpatrick. The candles on the cake were snuffed out by Francis Fry, of the fourth generation. Rev. J. Max Kirkpatrick was mas- ter of ceremonies and made the ad- dress of welcome, while the Hon. J. Laird Holmes delivered a happy re- sponse. Responses to toasts were ‘made by Rev. J. O. C. McCracken, of Juniata; Rev. S. B. Brown, of Grays- ville; Rev. W. J. Wagner, of Boals- burg; Rev. C. W. Rishel, of State College, and C. C. Shuey, of Belle- fonte. | Capt. Fry, who was specially hon- iored by the gathering with a large number of handsome gifts in com- | memoration of his anniversary, is so "well known throughout Centre coun- | ty that anything we might say would | neither add to nor detract from his reputation. During his long life he ‘has lived, not for himself alone, but for the good he could do for his fel- ‘lowman. At the reunion, on Satur- day, it was voted to meet at the same ‘place next year the last Saturday in | August. | As a matter of record the follow- ing old students of the Academy reg- istered during the day: W.

The junior livestock judging con- test to be held at the Grange Fair, Centre Hall, promises to be one of the outstanding features of the week. The time for the contest has been set for 8:30, Wednesday, August 27th. All contestants will meet at the new dairy barn on the fair grounds. The contest is open to any boy or girlin Centre county under 18 years of age and who is not in college. R. C. Blaney, county agent; Edwin Dale, supervisor of agriculture at Boalsburg; Mr. Decker, supervisor of agriculture at Spring Mills, and W. S. Jeffries, county vocational supervisor, have joined forces to make the judg- ing contest the best ever held. Each of the above has specially urged the boys who work under their supervision to take part, and from the response they have every reason to expect from 50 to 75 to enter. The Grange Fair Association has been very generous in the money giv- en for prizes for this contest. Their fine spirit of cooperation will go a long way toward making an under- taking of this kind a success. The boys and girls in Mr. Blaney's 4-H clubs, and the vocational classes of the other three men, will compete for places on teams which will repre- sent each group at young farmers’ week, at State College next spring. Each man will select a certain num- ber of those boys and girls in his group having the highest score. In the spring they will have a combined contest for these groups to make a final selection for the teams. The con- test at Centre Hall will thus have some weight on the selection of the teams. This contest is open to any boy or girl in Centre county not over 18 years of age. Any boy or girl now in college is not eligible to take part. Each boy or girl will judge one class of dairy cattle, poultry and hogs in order to compete for prizes. The winners will be selected from those having the highest score for the three classes. Each contestant will be allowed 15 minutes per class. Prize money and ribbons will be awarded for the first five places as follows: 1st, $12.00; 2nd, $8.00; 3rd, $5.00; 4th, $3.00; 5th, $2.00. BELLEFONTE’S BIG TROUT EAT A BEEF A MONTH. The big trout in Bellefont’e nat- tural fish preserve (Spring creek op- posite the Watchman office) eat more meat on an average every day in the week than any ten families. In fact they eat a big beef every month, and it is all clean meat, at that, with- out any bones entering into the weight. - At first reading’ this may seem merely a fish story, but never- theless it is a statement of facts.

Up pletely destroyed the bean crop in the Henry Earon garden, and did con- siderable damage in other gardens. Only a small mill race separates the Earon garden from that of How- ard Holzworth and yet not a beetle has been discovered in the Holzworth garden. ; The beetle has also been unusually active in and around Milesburg and various other sections of Centre county, according to county agent R. C. Blaney. They have made their appearance in Bellefonte but {have not proven very destructive here. The beetle, according to Mr. Blan- ey, is one of the ordinary yearly pests but is much more destructive this year than ordinarily, which may be accounted for by the unusually dry summer. It is not usually consid- ered a serious matter to control it, and there are no quarantine regula- tions against it. ——Fay Bradford, Margaret Rudy and A Eugene P.

The biggest day’s sale there was thir- ty pounds. Taking the minimum figures of each for week days it would mean approximately thirty pounds a day for six days in the week or 180 pounds. Add to this the minimum for Sunday, or 45 pounds and you have a total of 225 pounds for the week’s feed, which doesn’t take into account any meat that might be sold at the butcher shops. Take 225 pounds a week and multi- ply it by four and you have 900 pounds, which is more clean meat than you will find on the average it any wonder the big trout aren't hungry.
