SUNDAY ON THE PARK,
Raliglous Services tn Auditoriam In After.
toon "grge Gathering All Day,
Grange Park had a larger popula
tion on Bunday than it had for many
years on that day. Saturday, all day
long, camp cqiipmenta were arriving
from all parts of the connty, and these
were accompanied by members of farg-
ilies of the most progressive, the most
aggressive and the most prosperous
farm rs. By the middle of the after-
noon the temporary residences were
in habitable Condition, all of them
being well arranged and presenting =
most home-like appearance, The
Iarders, too, were heavily stocked
from the larger supply of the choices:
products of the farm in store at the
permanent homes,
Sunday wae a delightful day, the
conditions being ideal for camp life.
During the forenoon snd up to two-
thirty o'clock the permanent resi-
dents were receiving their friends who
had come to spend the day with them,
end view the camp.
At 2:30 P. M. religious services in
the auditorium were opened by Rev.
G. W. Mclinay, of Dudley, sa former
pastor of the Methodist church in
Centre Hall. Psalm 101 was used for
More Crops Per Acre,
It has been demonstrated by reports
from the national agricultural depart-
m-nt that the soils of the United
States are not wearing out, but that
he crop yields are increasing instead
of decreasing. The report declares
that us a whole we are producing
more crops per acre than formerly,
This is undoubtedly due many
factors; to better and more intelligent
cultivation, more and better systems
of rotation of crops, and in later years
to the inteHigent use of fertilizers
through measures of control in the
bands of every individual farmer, In
addition, we must recognizs the in-
crease in farm animals and stock, the
improvement in seed by selection and
breeding, and increased density of
population, which i« forcing atten.

with respect to potash, phosphoric

shows an incredse in all cereal crops

Parents and Teachers, Shall Cooperate

Those parents who send their
children to school, not merely to be

living, are just as much ®ncerned in
schools as the children themselves.

The teacher might well retort that
the home environment may easily un-
make all that the schoolroom makes

home vicious standards of living are
tacitly mecepted, sloth and shiftless.

And scatter them o'er my breast,

Or will you forgive my failings then
And wish me back in my place,
Remembering only the Kindness done

When you say good bye to me for aye
Will you press my Him once more,
And view the path so narrow and steep
That my weary feet passed o'er;
Remembering only the loyal heart
Now stided as pulseless olay,
And in your heart forgive, as you pause
By my side, on that darkened day ?
Or will you think of that other time
When life's morn was bright and fair,
With no shadow resting on my heart,
No tinge on my nut-brown hair 7
The future may be “lone and dark
As you tread its mazes through:
But will it somfort your stricken heart
Let there be joy In your heart that day
That the battles for me are o'er,
That my frail bark, so tempest tost,

Let your voloe with gladness ring.

Against Preacher Party Lenders.
| Editor George Stackpole, of The
| Lewistown Gazette ( Rep.), rails
| against the Rapublican Committee of
| Mifftin county for continuously nam-
| ing preachers as chairman snd party
[leadprs. The Gazette says that the
preacher in politics was insugurated
in old Mifflinseveral years ago by the
| election of Dr. James M, Yeager to
the Legislature, and that gentleman
was subsequently appointed to be
Assistant United States Marshall at
$4000 a year for service to his party.
Last year the Rw, George Joseph was
made chairman of the Republican
County Committee, and recently this
divine was named for Bupervisor of the
Census at a salary of $1800 for a few
months’ work, The resigostion of
Rev. Joseph from the chairmanship
became necessary, and on Baturday
last the County Committee chose an-
other pastor, the Rev. A. CO Bleinbar-
ger, to be political presiding officer.
