Democratic LOGAN FIREMEN PICNIC WILL BE BIG AFFAIR. For many years the Logan Fire company of Bellefonte has held a picnic at Hecla park on the Fourth of July. It is the one time in the year when the firemen relax in their vigilance as fire fighters. It is also the only time in the year that they ask aid of the people of the town. Day or night they, as well as members of the Undines, are quick to respond to a call for their serv- ices, and will fight fire under any and all circumstances, without a thought of any reward except that which comes with a knowledge of work well done. And that is the one big why the Logans should have a large crowd at their picnic. It is due them from the people of Belle- fonte. The committee in charge is arranging for a full day of varied entertainment. There will be two ball games, one in the morning be- tween the All-Stars, of Bellefonte, and Pleasant Gap. The afternoon tilt will be between Mackeyville and Woolrich, both good drawing teams. There will also be races of various kinds for men, women and children, horseshoe combats, boating and oth- er amusements. Wetzler's boys’ band will be on the ground all day, and give a number of concerts, while the Pennsylvania Ramblers, a Sunbury orchestra, will furnish mu- sic for dancing, afternoon and eve- ning. Substantial refreshments can ve secured on the grounds, Several days prior to the picnic a committee of the Logans will call upon the people of Bellefonte for contributions—cash or cakes, or anything suitable for the picnic and they should be met with a hearty response. i Lg en mires BILLY ARNOLD WON ALTOONA SPEED RACES. reason Billy Arnold, the youthful speed demon from Chicago, won the 200 mile grind on the Tipton boards, last Saturday, before a crowd of 30,000 auto racing fans. His time was 1 hour, 47 minutes and 56.4 seconds. His average speed was 111.5 miles an hour and his fastest time was a fraction over 117 miles an hour. For winning the race Arnold got first money, $4,500; the Continental Oil company award of $1,500; a 50-incn silver trophy of the Standard Oil company, and 240 points toward the world’s champion- ship record for the year. The only accident during the race happened to Fred Winnai and his mechanic, Clyde Terry, both of whom were painfully burned when their car caught fire. Terry also suffered a compound fracture of the shoulder. The condition of neither of the men is considered unduly serious. SUICIDE REPORTED OF OSCEOLA MILLS MAN.

The following from a recent issue of the Alamosa, Colorado, Daily Courier, will be of interest to the | hosts of Centre county friends of Rev. Wilson P. Ard. «Life is beckoning to you, calling to you from the heights, young men and young women, and I urge you to hear and heed its ringing chal- lenge,” said Rev. Wilson P. Ard, of Denver, in his address before the members of the graduating class of 1930 this afternoon at 3:00 o'clock at the Rialto theatre. Rev. Ard spoke eloquently. He is an amazing man, his brain function- ing like some magnificent universal machine. His ideas of the relative importance of things are most in- teresting and instructive. A man of tremendous energy, tireless in his activity, and withal friendly and as plain as an old shoe, delightfully in- formal and unassuming. How well he perceives and absorbs the hearts of things—can be realized as one reads these other thoughts present- ed by Mr. Ard.

John once was representative of the Rich woolen mills at Woolrich, but he is no longer connected with that concern. Just what he is doing now we forgot to ask, but whatever it is the work must be con- genial for he looked well, seemed hap- py and talked like a man who has nothing to worry about. ; ——— nn. — ¥ Hess—Chambers.—A wedding of local interest was solemnized in Denver, Colorado, Sunday afternoon, | June first, when Miss Ailsa L.
