SINGER AND SONG.
Written by Will Truckenmiller, of
Opportunity, Washington, in memory of
Mrs. Winifred Meek-Morris.
The Singer closed her weary eyes,
“Folded her hands upon her breast,
And loving watchers softly said:
“She is at rest.”
But the sweet songs that she had sung
Went traveling down the long, long
years
To comfort many a grieving one
And calm their fears.
To bring to trembling, cowering souls
A new-born courage, strong and high,
And bid them lift their downcast eyes
Toward the sky.
To bring sweet hope where was dispair,
To charm the racking pain away
To teach a love and faith and trust
. As clear as day.

AGRICULTURAL MEETING.
Interesting Reports Presented by
County Agent R. C. Blaney and |
Others.
That the farmers of Centre coun:
ty have reached that point where,
they rely upon the help that canbe
given them by the county agent was
evidenced by the good attendance at
the annual meeting of the Agricul-
tural Extension Association, held in
the court house on Saturday. Over
250 farm people were present, which
included 65 4H club-members.
The president, C, E. Peters, of
Stormstown, called the meeting to
order at 10 a. m. in the main court
room. The morning session included
the financial report and general
business. The main features of the
morning session were reports given
by county agent, R. C. Blaney, and
home economics agent, Miss Jean
Alexon. These reports brought out
the importance of agricultural ex-
tension work and the way it fits in-
to the general scheme of agricul-
ture in Centre county, Approxi.
mately 3000 farm contacts had been
made in the agricultural work and
800 in home economic work. Home
economics work is conducted on a
half time basis, asthe home econom-
ics worker also works in Hunting-
don county.
The main projects in agricultural
work included dairy improvement
work, poultry, general livestock,
home beautification, agricultural. en-
gineering, agricultural economics and
work with various community or-
ganizations, = In addition there were

quiries reported as having been tak-
en care of by the county agent.
Mr. Blaney also reported that the
work has been developed during its
existence in the past 15 years, and
that an organized program is being
planned and developed in all parts
of Centre county, which includes 11
different communities, or geographic
centers, through which the work is
conducted. 158 meetings with an
attendance of 20,856 were conducted
in agricultural . work. At these
meetings demonstrations were given
showing the improved agricultural
practices. Talks were given at]
which various agricultural subjects |
were discussed and recommendations '
made that those present could take.
home and apply in their own farm
operations. It was pointed out that
the purpose of agricultural exten-.
sion work is to make available for.
anyone in Centre county the latest
developments and improved prac.
tices in agriculture.
The main projects conducted dur-
ing the past year in home economics
work, according to Miss Alexon, have ,
been demonstrations in foods work,
clothing, home furnishing and home
management. ry
During the past year approxi-,
mately 200 boys and girls have been
members of various 4H clubs in
Centre county, some of which are as!
follows: Sewing clubs, lamb feeding
clubs, poultry clubs, potato clubs,
calf clubs and garden clubs. |
Prof. H. G. Nissley, assistant di:
rector of extension work at State
College, gave a very interesting talk
on the changes taking place -in
agriculture, pointing out the way in
which these changes affect our every
day life and emphasized the import-
ance of farm people keeping in
touch and up to date with these’
changes in order that they will be
able .to meet the present day com-
petition.
The afternoon session was de.
voted to boys and girls 4H club.
work. A play, “The Nutrition Wed-
ding,” was presented by a group of

tive. The following club members
told about their club activities dur-
ing the past year: Fred Luse, Cen-
tre Hall, lamb feeding club; Fred!
stated that the lamb club has been
in operation for five years. The
first four years the club has re-,
turned in sales of lambs and prize!

addition to the honors won at the.
State Farm Products Show, at Har- |
risburg, which included one grand'
champion pen and two reserve
champion pens, there was a number
of first places in various classes.

ing potatoes. He explained the sys-
tem of organizing the club, the round-
up, and expressed his belief that it
was a worth-while project in spite
of the bad drought conditions this
| Summer.
James Biddle, of Bellefonte, dis-
cussed the calf club project, of
, which he has been a member for
two years. He gave a detailed
: description of how the club was or-
ganized, explained the various round-
ups that they had and told about a
method of securing records on their
heifers, which have been in produc-
tion during the past year.
Kathryn Strouse, of State College,
gave a very interesting talk on the
Igirl’s club work. Kathryn has been
a member of the girl’s 4H club for
several years and told what she had
learned and the inspiration she had
received through her club activities,
explaining that these opportunities
are open to any girl in Centre
county, and anyone having an
portunity to joina 4H club should do
so, if at all possible.
Prof. Allen Baker, State 4H club
leader, gave a very interesting talk
on “What club work means and is
doing to boys and girls, not only in
Centre county and Pennsylavnia but
all over: the Unitéd States.” He
emphasized the fact that 4H club
work has been the means of many
boys and girls determining their
vocations, He also explained that
it gives the boy or girl a financial
interest and an opportunity to learn
the possibilities of agriculture before
he reaches the age where he decides
whether he will continue on the
farm or go into industry.
Prof. W. R. Gordon, who is in
charge of rural sociology extension
work in Pennsylvania, discussed
“Leadership.” He explained that
leadership is a big factor in our agri-
cultural communities and many 4H
club members are developing .into
some of our outstanding leaders.
He pointed out the fact that agri-
culture is going through a decided
change. These changes effect the,
every day life and living conditions |
of all. With transportation devel-
‘oped as it is, and with possibilities |

TEMPLE FROSH DOWNED
BELLEFONTE ACADEMY.
The Temple College Freshmen, of
Philadelphia, proved a little too
strong for the Bellefonte Academy
football team, in their game = on
Hughes field, Saturday, and came
out of the struggle victorious by a
score of 13 to 0. At that it was
a game worth watching, ' Both
teams were in the pink of condition
and put up a fine game. Temple's
first score was made in the sec-
ond period when quarterback John-
son threw a long forward pass to
Zukus who pulled the ball out of
the air and by splendid interference
ran forty-five yards for a touch-
down. Johnson missed the try for
goal. ;
The second score was made in
the fourth period when Temple had
worked its way down to within ten
yards of the Academy goal. It was
fourth down and Johnson again
threw a pass which was captured
by Pilconis who sprinted over the
line for the second touchdown.
Johnson kicked the goal. During
the remainder of the game Temple
was content to play on the defen-
sive only.
It might here be stated that a
more gentlemanly crowd than the
Temple delegation of 26 men never
visited Bellefonte. During their
Richelieu theatre were extended to
them by manager Kenneth Wall, an
act that was much appreciated by"
the visiting gridiron warriors. As
they entered the theatre each one !
was personally introduced to Mr. !
Wall by headmaster James R.
Hughes.
The Academy’s last game for the
season will be with Wyoming Acad-
emy, at Scranton, on Saturday,
December 6th.

The Philadelphia Record, which

they stand on the question. From
the replies received to date about

Laird Holmes, of Centre county, un-
equivocally states that he is oppos-
ed to repeal. He says:
“I am opposed to the repeal of

Meese will go on the retired list as
a rural mail carrier out of the
Bellefonte postoffice, effective No-
vember 30th, having - reached the
retirement age of 65 year. All
of his service was not in Bellefonte

service Mr. Meese stuck to the
horse and buggy as his means of
transporting the mails, the only
carrier in Bellefonte who has done
so. During his twenty-four years
he has traveled almost 200,000 miles,
or almost eight times around the
world, and has used in his work
six horses . He has always been one
of the most faithful carriers in the
service. His retirement makes the
fifth within two years, the others
being John C. Bair, E. E, Ardery,
John F. Garthoff and William
Chamers.
