A course was selected for the current year, consisting of three lectures and two musical numbers, as follows : The Davenny Festival Quintet, a very highly recommended musical number, The committee believe this number to be go far superior to any that has ever been in Centre Hall before, to warrant an increased admission. The admission for this particuo- lar vumber will be fifty cents, which includes a reserved seat. For all other numbers the admission will be the same a8 last year, nsmely, 25 cents for lectures and 35 cents for musicale, with au extra charge of five cents for those desiring reserved seats, The second number is to be a lecture, called a ‘* Peace Lecture.” It is like- ly that Dr. Hamilton Hol’, editor of “ The Independen’,"” will deliver this lecture. The ‘‘ Carnegie Eadowment for International Peacs’’ has secured several high priced platform lecturers to deliver ‘‘ Peace Lectlu es.” pay for these first class men is a nom!- nal sum sufficient to cover traveling expenses. The third and fourth numbers are lectures, the first by Dr. G. Whitefield | Ray, and the second by Dr. Andrew | Johusor. Both coms very highly recommended. The fifth is a musical number by the Doroa De Leon Company. This is a general concert number consistiog of vocal and ipstramental music, and al- 80 a reader, Course tickets for all five numbers will sell at the usual price of one dol- lar per seat.

Milford Pletcher of Blanchard was sppointed assistant superintend- ent of public schools in this county by County Buperintendent D. 0. Et- tere. The salary is $1200. The a}- pointment is under a law passed by the legislature several years age, but it was inoperative owing to the fact that there was no appropriation for the salary. Mr. Pletcher was a candi- date for the office of county superic- tendent of schools, before this law was passed, and later made a preliminary skirmish for the nomination for pre- thonotary on the Republican ticket, and it has been generally understood since that when conditions could bring it about he would be named the assistant to Mr, Etters. Mr. Pletcher will no doubt serve the pub.ic with ae much enthusissm and credit se any other school man who might have been named, but it is a question whether or not the cffice is one thst will be of real benefit to the public school system in counties like Centre. uu ga — CENTRAL SIATE NORMAL SOHOOL Charies Lose, Principal, Ressons why a young msn or young woman should attend this school ; Because it is 8 good school, Because the location is beautiful and healthful, Because the buildings modious and well equipped.

Havper, of the animal husbandry de- patiment, indicate strongly the advar - tage of pasture crops during the sum- mer monthe, By the use of a rotation of pasture crops it I= possible to keep green feed for the pigs throughout er - tire growing seascr. The pasture will result in the saving of grain feed which means a more economic meth- od of pork production. Btill further advantages of this system of manage- ment are a better thrift of the pigs and improving the fertility of the land uj - on which the pasture lots are locs- ted, During the summer of 19]4 when corn was worth 70 cents 8 bushe’, the cost of a pound of grain was 5.6 cents dry lot against 4.4 cents on pasture, The pasture crops tsed should be a - lected with a view tosupplying a sat - factory crop for early spring and sum - mer, for mi <wummer and for early fall, The rotation which hss been used during the past two summers je rye for very early spring pasture fol- lowed by oate and pear, rape snd oate, and harvesting at the same time, corn aud rape, WILL BUY OU TURNPIKES, er Will Not Tolernts Holding Out for Fancy Pricer, However, Highwey Commiss oy Plans to rid Penneylvania of one of its incubuses been initiated by Highway Commissloner Cur- ningharnr, who will endeavor to quire the property of the various turp- pike companies still existiog io the ainte and thereby put the toil gate on the scrap heap, Particular emphasis has been placed on the point that ef- forts on the part of the companies to ‘hold up” the State for fancy prices will not be tolerated, has Hiate Be Negotiations have beer opened with a number of turnpike commpunies and the department's of fers have indicated that while sire is lo pay already d¢- reasonable Hgel-ricl oguick permitted, To the a fsir and pries, no tChemes will uch 8 possibile even’ 0 be circumvent Linissioner uopiogham has prepared (wo powe ful the any and a second sgsinst the county i o 3 wespone—one sgainst x desire prog - | persiag- | the department plans to build idence their sil Where companies ev a to hold out for more than # ai road.
