VOL. _LXXXIII. HALL, PA. EVENING ENTERTAINMENTS During Grange Encampment and Fair Bit of Information Uoncerning Them, The evening entertainments during the Grange Encampment and Fair, on Grange Park, will be far superior to . any heretofore held. The manage- ment has gone to great expense to secure these entertainers, and they will be very fortunate if the re- ceipts are sufficient to meet the con- tract price to say nothing of profits. A brief sketch of the entertainers is here given, »o0 that the reader may have some idea of the class to which they belong : Mrs. Cora Robertson, the distin guished English musical entertainer, whose powers as a musical enter- tainer are most remarkable, comes to us from London, where she and her late husband, who was the younger Tom Robertson, were stars in their own comedy company. She is, there- fore, the daughter-in-law of the famous Eoglish dramatist, T. W. Robertson, and the niece of the cele- brated actress, Mrs. Madge Kendal, Her grandfather was the noted Bap- tist clergyman, the Rev, Jabez Burns, D. D, LL. D, whose elocutionary powers she inherits, One of her greatest successes has been the Eng- lish * Coster’ songs, such as ‘* My Old Duteh” and *“ Mrs. ’Eaory 'Awkins,’”’ which she sings in her own inimitable ** Coster” style. Her monologurs and recitations are given with thorough artistie ability, power and pathos, With a powerful and sympathetic voice, a winning person- ality and charming maoner, she possesses magnetism which never fails to impress her audience most favor ably, keeping them amused and inter- ested for more than an hour, John G. Beorer well merits the title, “ The Mirthful Philosopher.” The philosophy he teaches is npeither new nor mysterious—simply the old, old one of sunshine and sepse, which makes sweet the soured milk of human kindoess. He knows human nature—its foibles and its failures, its sorrows and discouragements. With his cheerful philosophies, his homely truths and his refined humor, he routs the demons of dispair that feed upon man's happioess aod impoverish his soul. He lifts man from the slough of deepondency and despair to the solid footing of courage and Lope. He shows the brighter side, points out opportunity and reveals the way to better conditions. If you erjoy a pleasing personality, an optimistic spirit, wholesome truths eotertainiogly presented ; if you believe in the gospel of mirth and laughter, you should hear Mr. Scorer. Tae Dietrics—Mr, and Mrs, Charles Dietrie—offar varied programs, includ. inz magic—mystery, laughter ; music —classical and popular, novel instru- ments ; readings—impersonations and child studies ; whistling—solos and novel effects; characler playlets— humor, pathos and draws. With a repertoire of one act plays, in which both Mr, and Mrs. Dietric participate, this lady and gentlemen demonstrate conclusively their auility as entertainers. The plays are well presented and the acliog artistically good, presenting various phases of humor, pathos and drama. —— A Harvest Home Services. Dr. W. H. Bchuyler will preach the anniversary sermon on the occasion of the Harvest Home Celebration, on Grange Park, on Bunday, September 1th, at 2:30 p.m. Itis a customary usage of the members of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry to celebrate this important event in symbolism of the * Feast of the Harvest,” celebrated an- nually by the chosen people of Israel, in the autumn season of the year. All are cordially invited to join in this in- teresting event during the Grange En. eampment and Far, A—————— A —————— Charch 100 Years Old, The Lutheran church, at Salona, of which Rev. J. M. Rearick is the pas- tor, celebrated its one hundredth anni versary last Sunday. The firet pastor was Rev, J. A. ligen, who came to Nittany Valley in 1510, and located near Salons, He did missionary work in that section by visiting from house to house, and at his death the Rev. J. G. Abele took up the work, A regu- lar organization resulted in 1829, when the Rev. Abele issued a call to those of the Lutheran faith to meet with him, A meeting was held under an apple tree south of Balona, where the Salona Evangelical Lutheran congregation had ite birth, “ It—an Exposition of the Bovereign Political Power of Organized Busi ness, ”’ This le the significant title of a new veries of articl 8 by Lincoln Steflens beginning fn the Beptember Everybody's. Centre Reporter, §1 a year, DEATHS, Atthe home of her daughter, Mrs, F. M. Glasgow, at Bellwood, Mrs. Barah G. Boozer died at 145 p. m., Baturday, August 13th, of diseases in- cident to old age. Bhe was born in Boalsburg, February 4, 1825, being at her death aged eighty-five years, six months and nine days. Her maiden name was Price, Oo January 28, 1851, she married John Boozer, to which union were born three children—Wili- iam Henry, Anna Marjory and Fran- ces Isabella, now Mrs. Glasgow. They lived in Centre county, for the greater part of the time at Potters Mille, until 1876, her husband being for many years one of the proprietors of the woolen mills at that place. After so- journing in Ohio for a short time, they returned to Pennsylvanis, and loca- ted in Philadelphia, later moving to Milroy, where her husband died April 20, 1877. Bhe resided in Milroy six years, and since she has made her home with her children. She is sur- vived by one daughter, Mrs. Glasgow (her gon and other daughter having preceded her to the grave,) six grand- children snd two great-grandchildren, When quite young, Mrs. Boozar be- gsn to live a christian life, sand for many years she and her husband were consistent members of the Bprucetown Methodist Episcopal church, and for over thirty-three years she bad beeu a member of the Methodist Episcopal church at Milroy, which membership was severed only when her Heavenly Father sald, ** Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” The fuoeral services were held Monday, August 15'h, at 1 p.m, at the Glasgow home, sod ip- terment was made io the Logan Val- ley Cemetery, at Bellwood, as Ra LOCALS, The Methodists will bold their ap- pusl pienic on Saturday, on Grange Park. All who care to take their pic pic baskets with them are lonvited. Hon, W. H. Berry will be at the Boslsburg picnic, in McFerlane's woods, on Friday of this week. A general invitation is extended to this gathering. Miss Phebe Packer, of Avis, was the guest of Miss Ruth Thomas from Thursday until Monday afternoon, at which time she went to Bellefonte where she will continue her visit with Mr. and Mra, James Clark. Every farmer in Centre county should bave something on the exhibi- tion tables or in the stalls at the Gresoge Eocampment aod Fair. This feature of this farmers’ gathering can be made profitable if the farmers gee fit to make it so, Mrs. Cora Burchfield and daughter Marion, of Tuesseyville, are spending several weeks at the home of Daniel Keller, at Houservillee. A little daughter came to their home, and is greatly appreciated by the little broth- ers, Hayes and Dean, The New York World stakes its reputation on the prediction that Col, Theodore Roosevelt will be the Re publican nominee for governor of New York. The World, no doubt, has the situation pretty thoroughly in hand and did not make the predic- tion in a haphazard way. A special service for old people was held in the Ugited Evangelical church, in Millheim, Bunday morn- ing. Bome of the familiar hymns to the members of that denomination were sung in German language. Rev. W. J. Dice is the pastor, and he was assisted by Rev. M. 1. Jamison, Just now when poultry is so much in demand, every farmet’s son and daughter will have a fine opportunity to sell the surplus stock, at the top figure, if they are put on exhibition st the Grange Eocampmeat and Fair, It only costs the effort to take the birds there, and then you are sure of a premium for every bird you bring. Mr. and Mrs. J. A, Decker, of Pine Grove Mills, were among the callers at the Reporter cflice Thursday of last week, They were on their way to Potters Millis to visit the former's fa- ther, John D. D-cker. It will only be a short time until Mr, Decker will temporarily live in Centre Hall, as be will again keep the boarding house on Grange Park daring the Grange Eo- campment and Fair, The fall term of the Lock Haven Htate Normal HBehool begins Beptem- ber 6th.

Its graduates are successful as teachers and they show the effect of the splendid social life of the school. Itdoes not seek numbers and therefore it will only se cept such students as are serious minded and who are willing to con. form to the ideals of the school, Its beautiful location and splendid faculty and fine equipment are among ite many commendable featu Ad- dress the Principal for its Hllustrated catalog. EXTINCTION OF THE NOBLE HORSE, The Thirty Million Horses in the United States Represents a Total Value of Al most three Billion Dollars, The automobile was destined, it will be remembered, to extinguish the horse. As the buffalo Is maintained in small herds in the interests of the study of nature! history, or as the gnu and the giraffe are exhibited in “zoos” to satlsly the idle curious, so it was proposed that a few horses should be saved, if possible. How well the few have been saved is shown by the Year Book of the De- partment of Agriculture. On Janu. ary 1, 1000, there were nearly 14 000, 000 horses in the United States, of a total value of $1,000,000,000, On Janu- ary 1, 1909, the number was nearly 30,000,000, of a total value of nearly $3,000,000,000, The average value of horses in 1800 was $44 61 ; the average value in 1909 was $0564 When the figures for 1910 are compiled the average value of the horse will be shown to have reached a record dur- ing the past year. What is the explanation of high prices of horses ? in price, farm labor has gone ap, and every charge incidental to the farm is higher than it was, but this does not account for the sudden and sharp in- crease in cost of horses. The farmer has long been sn eleemosynary iosti- tution, and he Is just discovering the truth, If the cost of raising a colt, in- cludiog all ite food, stabling and the labor incidental to its care and train: ing be taken into secount, it will be found that any horse three years old bas cost at least $200, the The Hooven Mercantile Company.

I refer to James A. Keller, who ‘always took an active part lu singing aod spelling schools conducted by the writer in the old Plum Grove school house. Having been raised among the Hoffer soa Keller families causes unusual sadness to hear of their pasiaog away. Mr, Keller was a kind hearted neighbor sud a good citizen. He eujiyed play- ing harmless j )kes on others, as Mike Condo will remember when butcher. ing at Jim's home. Mike was wrathy for a while, but it did him no harm, A few weeks ago I noticed mention of the death of George W. Bweeney, who was a schoolmate of the writer's in the old Mt Pleasant ‘school uouse before Centre Hall was known. Chis end notice causes the writer to think of the good old times we used to have and the willingness with which George would lend a helping band in wport around the old loft and chimney outside of school hours, Though these have passed awsy they still live in our memories of the past. The writer hopes to hear through the " Subscribers’ Column in the Reporter of other boys and girle who used to attend the old Mt.
