Kain can't epcil a picnic when girls
want to have ove. At Howard four
of the girls eame in spite of the threat-
ening weather and decided that ** we
might se well have it somewhere.”
Eventually the boys’ Y. M. C. A. club
room wse secured, an oil stove ( pro-
tected by an umbrella ) was carried ip,
and by telephoning and runniog
through the rain eighteen girle were
gathered for the picnic in the rain.
Although the games planned could
ngt be carried out “Up Jenkins”
proved a satisfactory substitute, and
everyone forgot the rain,
The council of the Btate College
branch bas been indulging is high
finance in an attempt to figure out a
pian whereby a furnished house ean be
secured, rooms rented, and the two
rents "come out even.”

Pitthburgh Business and Financlel Men,
The following article is taken from
the ** Greater Pittsburgh’ department
of the “Commercial Journs!,” and
will be of interest locslly because of
the ficancial intercst a number of iocal
residents have in the Republic Casual-
ty Company :
One of the most important develop-
mente in loeal insurspee circles ip
some time paet, was the recent re-
moval to this city of the Republic Cas-
ually Compauvy from Cleveland, O.,
sud the purchase: of the company by =
number of prominent Pittsburgh busi
nees and floancial experts, with the
consequent establi-hment of offices in
the Oliver Balldipg, where the home
offices of the company will hereafter
be lceated, and from which it wili
transact a general casually business in
all lives which will cover practically
every northern State,
That this company will be welcom- |
ed in local! bLusinees circles, peed not!
be stated, for it i
an important factor in local busivess!
circles, and an imoportant factor in Lhe
soresd of the commercial fame of th el
city. The company will relinquish its |
Ohio charter, and will be incorporated |
under the laws of the State of Pen: -1
syl!vanie, with of $500,000 |
and a surplus of the same smount, ul-|
though it is expected Lhat the capitali-}
zation will be lmomediately increased. |
The company has been sctive in the |
business for some and sce]
cordipg to ita report for tusiness on!
January 1, 1916, it had a capital of |
$370,000, surplus of $41,541 sud
gets of over $604,612. Farther

With the mansgement io the hands
of men of this type, the conduct of

This beirg the case, we believe Lhat
certain of our readers will be greatly
interested to learn that there will be
sftorded an opportunity for a limited
pumber of persore to subscribe to the
stock of the company. There will be
no general offering of the stock, but
we nuderstana that s emall portion will
be offered for yublic subscription. This
stock should constitute an investment
medium of epecisl altractiveness for
the field before the company is unlim-
ited ; it ie under honest and aggressive
business management, and it should
earn substantial dividends for those
fortunate enough to own this stock, ee
it Is well known that the etock of well
conducted insurances companies ls gen~
erally beyond the reach of the average
mar,
Further details conceruing the plans

Thorobred Hog Arrives Mere Dead,
A valuable thorobred Poland Chins
boar, cousigned to William Colyer,
near thie place, was delivered desd to
the lceal station on Wednesday even-
log. Mr. Colyer had purchased the
suimal from a farm in Iowa with »
view of adding to bis alresdy thoro-
bred hog stock, paylpg $100 for the
animsl which was only a young one,
Between Tyrove and Bellefonte the
hog broke out of its crate in the bag-
gage car and in true bog fashion began
to root among the pscksger, tearing
about the car in such manner that he
threw a ecsre fnto the express and
beggege sgents who claim that after s
strenuous few minutes the porker gave
up the ghost as a result of over exer-
tion spd the long trip. Those who
wiipessed the “remsine’” upon ar-
rival bere claim that the hog bore
marks about the hesd, indicating that
he was likely beat up in the car. The
bog, while very young, weighed 400
Ibe., having been the product of a
1120 1b, hog.
The animal was buried by the local
section hands and M-. Colyer will be
reimbursed for his loss by the express
