Number of Exhibits Largest Ever Shown at Grange Park. The largest number of boys and girls that ever camped at Centre {Hall and took part in the various contests offered was in evidence at the Grange fair, last week, says William S. Jeffries, county vocational supervisor. Not only was the num- ber of boys and girls larger but the number of exhibits entered by them exceeded those of any previous year. The quality of these exhibits made by the boys and girls in their study of vocational agriculture and home economics was of a very high type and emphasizes the excellent work being done in the vocational schools in Centre county. It also demon- strates that the rising generation has not lost its love of rural life or interest in winning a livelihood from the soil. The agricultural project contest this year had some very close com- petition. 61 boys entered the senior contest. Each boy’s project, in or- der to compete, had to be of such size as to be eligible for the State contest held in connection with the Farm Products Show in Harrisburg. In the Junior project contest, open for boys and girls in the grade schools, 21 were entered. Miss Geer, supervisor of home economics in the Harris township vocational school, placed a very novel exhibit of a model kitchen, She portrayed the correct arrangement of the kitchen furniture, with ap- propriate descriptions of “what to do” and “whatnot to do” in kitchen arrangement in order to save labor. The county vocational work was represented by an exhibit in land- scape gardening. An attempt was made to show the effect of planting and arrangement of shrubbery about the home. This was accomplished by using two small houses of the same design. The ground surround- ing the one was left unplanted while the other one was surrounded by the proper shrubs. A very notable con- trast was evident. Gregg and Harris township voca- tional schools each had school ex- hibits composed of articles made in the home economics and agricultural classes. The judges awarded the first prize to the Gregg township school. The livestock judging contest for boys and girls of school age, held by the county extension agent and the vocational teachers of the county, attracted a large number of young people. Three types of livestock were judged, namely: Dairy cattle, swine and poultry. The winners were selected from those with the highest total score for the three classes. The honors for the judging con- test were divided among the two vocational schools, the Gregg town- ship school getting a first, third, fifth and sixth, while Harris town- ship won a second and a fourth, The winners of the various con. tests in the senior project were as follows, in their respective order of 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Dairy Cattle—Albert Lightley, Bohn, both of Boalsburg. Corn—Fred Homan, Boalsburg; Weaver, Pleasant Gap; Russell Spring Mills.

POULTRY CLUBS HOLD ROUNDUP. The Pennsylvania Furnace and Boalsburg poultry clubs held their annual roundups at the fair last THREE PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM ROCKVIEW ON SUNDAY. Taking advantage of the darkness three prisoners at Rockview peni- tentiary quietly slipped out cf ranks as ‘they were being marched from the big dining hall to the cell block, five minutes after eight o'clock on Sunday evening, managed to climb over the new stockade and make their escape before their absence was noticed by the guards in charge. The three men, all of whom are from Allegheny county, were Thomas Lewis, serving 10 to 20 years for highway robbery; Joseph Chali, a Cuban, doing 4to 10 years forlar- ceny, and Steve Waters, serving a 5 to 13 year’s sentence for breaking and entering, larceny and making away with stolen goods, The prisoners had been in the dining hall witnessing + the usual Sunday evening program of moving pictures. It was just 8 o'clock when they were marshalled by guards for the march back to the cell block. On arriving there it was discovered that the three mentioned above were missing. The big siren was blown for several minutes, to summon every available guard, and Belle- fonte people who heard it thought there must be a general outbreak, but nothing so serious happened. La- ter in She night the siren was again blown. Guards were out all night but failed to drive the. escaped pris- oners from cover. EE BIG SIREN WILL BE BLOWN WHEN PRISONERS ESCAPE. The blowing of the big steam siren, at Rockview penitentiary on Sunday night, was so unusual that many people believed it meant a general attempt at outbreak among the prisoners. The whistle was in- stalled at the penitentiary in the early years of it’s history and at that time was used to announce the escape of prisoners. It’s use, how- ever, was discontinued by order of Hon. John Francies, at that time superintendent of the institution, be- cause he believed it did more harm than good by giving warning to the escaped prisoners that their absence had been discovered and guards were on their trail, Recently, however, the prison board ordered the whistle restored and decreed that it be blown to an- nounce the escape of prisoners. This | as souvenirs and the girl who served | of the Rapid Transit for the purpose of notifying every- body within sound of the whistle that prisoners are at large which, it is believed, will result in their apprehension in less time than formerly. ——3$50.00 buys a quality 9x12 “Bigelow—Sanford” living room rug during showing of new fall patterns, Sept. 6th to Sept. 14th, at W.

The Rhoads Bros., of Bellefonte, have been awarded the contract for erecting the concrete piers to carry the 16_inch pipe the big spring to the south end of Race street, and began work on Tuesday morning. Water superintendent J.D. Seibert has had a force of men at work down at the Gamble mill where he has over three hundred feet of ditch dug and ready for the pipe. The water wheel and pump are both in place but some of the connections between the big pipe line and the pump have not yet been received which is holding up the laying of the pipe. These connections, how- ever, should be here within a few days, when connections will be made the : at the pump and the laying of pipe started. ’ During the past fortnight a por- tion of the $38,000 bond issue au- thorized by council was sold and the mortgage held by the Lycoming Trust company paid. It might here be stated that the bonds were con- siderably over subscribed, The 16-inch pipe which will con- vey the water from the big spring to the pumping station at the Gam- ble mill will have a fall of six feet, which will be ample for the size of the pipe. During the past week the pipe has all been thoroughly swabbed out and cleaned ready for laying. ——Rug prices reduced during showing of the new fall patterns from “Bigelow-Sanford,” week of Sept. 6th to Sept. 14th, at W.

COL. AND MRS. LINDBERGH WERE HERE MONDAY NIGHT. Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lind- bergh, enroute from Detroit, Mich., to New York, flew into a spell of weather when they reached the Bellefonte airport, shortly aften ten o'clock on Monday night, and wise- ly decided to spend the night here. A call from the landing field fora taxi took Frank Davis out in record time and at 10:40 the dis- tinguished guests were landed at the Brockerhoff house, Assigned to a room ‘they then went to Martin's restaurant for something to eat be. fore retiring. They were up early on Tuesday morning, breakfasted and were out at the field before seven o'clock, but a dense fog over the valley and mountains held them at the field for two hours, and it was just 8.58 o'clock when they finally took to the air and con- tinued their flight to New York. Both Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh are exceedingly democratic in their tastes as well as views, and were just as much at home in Bellefonte as they are in New York or Chicago. If you want to sit in the seats of the mighty all you need do is call Frank Davis’ taxi the next time you want to ride somewhere. Frank is the lucky bird who had the call to taxi Col. and Mrs, Lindbergh in from the aviation field when they landed here Monday night, so that his car has carried two persons to whom even Presidents and Kings kow-tow. The funny part of it is that Frank never knew that he had such dis- tinguished fares until the next morning ‘when someone told him the big news that “Col. and Mrs. Lind- {bergh are in town.” He said: “Ihad no idea who they were. They seem- ied just like nice, ‘and when I delivered them to the Brockerhoff house I presented my card to the lady and said I would be glad to take them back to the ‘field in the morning and then went (home and went to bed. In the morning they called me, butI knew | jfe.” | ir | At the Brockerhoff (that the waitresses took the bit of! ‘ham that the Colonel left on his’ plate at breakfast and divided it up | {the distinguished visitors at {lunch at Martin's restaurant the | night before swears that she will | never spend the fifty cent tip she re- ceived from them.

As Decker valley is reputed to be alive with deer we questioned the gentlemen about that. Both of them were of the opinion that the most of them have been killed, as they rarely see one anymore and the few that are there now are very wild, whereas before the open doe season deer were tame and plentiful as sheep in there.

He said that Homer Neff, who is on the Sankey farm near Potter's Mills, had so much that he left a lot of it lying th the fleld; hauling in only what was freeest from weeds.
