From the bumble, niceseary ben, to the pon- derous draught-horse, not forgetting the mild-eyed cow, the requirements of all useful domestic animals were scien- tifically expounded by learned experts sitting st comfortable desks and draw- ing salaries paid by a grsteful nation. All the wealth of technical term- inology wes lavished on the bugs, worms and other parasites that might do damage If they were not thus bom- birded. The due timé and method fr sowing, for cultivating and reap: ing were painstakingly set forth, em. bellished with illustrations that were a credit to modern art. With all this expert information at hand, the only thing remaining for the farmer to do is to keep on hustling. ———— fr ———— Convention Postponed, The district Bunday school conven- tion announced to have been held at Tusseyville last Friday, was postponed until Friday of this week, when the Pennsylvania regiment The —————— No Booze for Steal Workers.

Bedford Is the county from which liquor will be banished, This will make three * dry’ coun. ties out of the sixty-seven in the state, the two in which the sale of booze is already forbidden being Greene and Mifflin, The * drying up" of Bedford will come through the election in Novem- ber of an associote judge pledged against the granting of liquor licenses, Candidates of both the Republican and Democratic parties were nomi- nated at the primaries on the * no license ’ issue, defeating liquor op- ponents, The new associate judge, whoever he may be, will stand with President Judge Joseph M. Woods, of the Miff- lin-Huntingdon-Bedford district, in refusing all license applications in Bedford county next year. The ope- ration will duplicate that in Mifflin county this spring, when President Judge Woods and Associate Judge Gruber H. Bell wiped out the saloons. SNYDER MAKING AMENDS, Temperance forces struck another telling blow at the liquor politiciavs in Baturday’s primaries, when they defeated Associate Judge Peter F. Rigel, of Bnyder county, candidate for renomination by the Republican party, Rigel, with his fellow-associate judge in the county, has been a champion of the liquor interests, the two overruling President Judge Harold MeClure to grant certain license applications which MeClure did not approve, Joseph Hendricks, pledged to support Judge McClure in his restrictive atti- tude in licenses granting, was nom- inated for Rigel’s place, and his elec tion is regarded as assured.

Krise Writes Something About His Trip to the Flood Clty, As many Penn's Valley people have relatives and former neighbors in the Flood City, thought that a few lines from here might prove interesting, Wednesday, May 26, accompanied by Mrs. Krise, we left Centre Hall for Johnstown. Btopping fora short visit at Juniata, wd found ourselves held as prisoners at the home of Mr, and Mrs, C. E. Bimpkins, until the next day. Mr. Bimpkins, whose wife wss a for- mer Centre Hall girl, is a telegraph operator for the P. R. R., as are also his son and his son-in-law. He says that times are not brightening up very rapidly, that many men io the Juniata shops are doing piece work and scarce- ly earning a living, A former Bpring Mills neighbor also said he had steady work, but only eight hours a day and five days a week. We reached the Flood City Thursday afternoon. On the train from Altoons we met Mra, David Bartges and granddaughter, who were going to visit the former's daughter, Mrs, Reiber, also Mrs. He 4, whose maiden name was Ella Mer- singer, formerly of Tusseyville. Bhe was returning to her home in Pitts- burg. Friday took in Barnum & Bailey's circus. This Is certainly a vig show, It is said that there are only two others in the world that equal it. They have twenty-six elephants, iwenly or more camels, and performers for three circuses. The chief marshall of the Memorial Day parade, Comrade W. A. Blick, having learned from the city papers that I was here, sent me an jovitation to join with Emery Fisher Post No. 30, G. A, R., in the Memoria! services. Habbath morping the Post marched in 8 body to one of the Baptist churches, where a8 most excelleat address was delivered. Io theevening s Memorial sermon was preached in the First Eng- lish Lutheran church, but I went to my old home church, the First Presby- terian, to hear my old pastor. My dis. appointment, owing to bis absence, was surely cancelled by the pleasure 1 erjoyed of listening to a grand sermon by one who used to point out the way of salvation to saints avd sipners in Trinity Reformed church, Centre Hall, Dr. H. 8. Isenberg, who supplied Dr. Hayy's pulpit that evening. Monday afternoon the old and the young velerans, the Epanish War vet. erans, thé commsandary of Golden Eagles, in their beautiful uniforms, the PP. O. 8B. of A. and other organiza tions paraded to Bandy Vale cemetery where the ritualistic services were per. formed, finishing up by a couple of men showering handfuls of petals of flowers on a circle of graves, eighteen or twenty in number. There was no marching through the cemetery and placing flowers on the individual graves, - I think, however, that a com- mittee did that work earlier in the day. During the parade the sidewalks were crowded on both sides of the streets from the point of starting to the cemetery, a distance of nearly two miles, In the cemetery the crowd of outsiders was comparatively small, After the parade was over ex-Lieuten- ant-Governor Latta delivered the ad. dress in the Grand Army hall, W. A. Knise, enough Sapervisors to be Assembled, The: Bellefonte Motor Club has determined to call to Bellefonte, in the near future, the various township supervisors, with a view of impressing them that the purpose of the organiza. tion was not to antagonize farmers or road builders; but rather to encourage the building of good roads. At the approaching convention, men ace quainted with road building will speak to the supervisors, and no doubt impart valuable information. This convention should be attended by every supervisor in the county, and he should attend with no fear or prejudice, but determined to learn all he can about road building, and put such portions of the knowledge gained that are feasible into operation in their distriets. The idea of assembling the town ship supervisors is a good one, and it rests with these officers whether or not the public will profit from it. From Kilinoils, The following note was received from Robert W. Lingle, of Bugar Grove, Illinois: * We did not have much rain i May until the latter part of the month. Oats is looking flue and so is the grass, while the corn fs coming up nicely. This’ was a cold spring and was very wet during oats sowing. It is nice to farm here, as the country ia so level, but it is not as healthy a place in which to live as ia Pennsylvania. We are farming 650 and are fattening over a hundred steers at present.’ ———————— Even a fat man 1909. 7 PENNINGTON memoria N\ First Methodist Church in Penus Valley urganized 1756 nod First Church Batld- Ing Erected Near Usntre Hall 1814, on Pennington Hom sstesnd, To the descendants of the Penning: tons, friends of the deceased entombed in the Pennington cemetery, and friends of the Methodist church : It was agreed at an informal confer. ence of those interested in remodeling the Pennington cemetery to hold me- maorial services Wednesday, June 23rd, tc which the friends and all those in- terested are hereby cordially invited.

The Freeport (Illinois) Standard bas this to say of a former Centre countian : George F. Bwarts, one of Freeport's pioneer business men celebrated his fortieth anniversary in business. For forty-eight years Mr. Swarts has sold drugs in Freeport, but it was just forty years ago that he entered his present location opposite the court house as proprietor. To say that he has been successful is putting it mildly, for his reputation and splendid business show that Mr. Swarts in all his years in Freeport has never once been sued or engaged in any sort of litigation, a record few can equal. He has the congratulations of numerous business friends of his splendid auniversary, Death Dus to a Fall, Mrs. Aaron Bower fell down a flight of stairs at her Bouth Renovo home, sustaining s fracture of tHe skull and the breaking of an artery.

Bhe was taken down on the midnight train and an operation per- formed, but which later proved to have been unsuccessful.
