According to reports belong received
by Warren Van Dyke, secretary of the

gaining rapidly. Newspapers that
have pever supported a Democratic
presidential candioate are now openly
for President Wilson.

Republican paper, 1s now endorsing
tbe candidacy of the President, The
Reading Herald, which is puhlisbed

“Now that Mr, Wilson has sccept-
ed the nomination, let us proceed to
elect him. He is serving us well,
With four years more he sy serve us
better,”

1916 Season,
Editor Reporter :
Enclosed find money order for $3.00
to pay for my subscription the past
year and also for another year. 1 de-
sire the Reporter to continue without
a break,
The residents of Iosco county, Michi-
gar, will not forget soon their experi-
ences of this present record breaking
summer, We vave had sll kinds of
funny westber—the freakish variety
of which the most of our people have
never seen. We are told we had the
coldest and wettest April, May, and
Jupe ip torty-six years and we know
from actual experience that they have
not lied, All through this and many
other counties farmers on clay solls
were unable to get suything planted
before June 1st, which would have
worked out all right and profitably for
them had the two succeeding months
been normal. July and August were
record smashers, the mercury hover-
ing around the 100 degree mark
throughout both months and twice
went to 104, The results of these ex-
tremes can be seen now on nearly
every farm and can be summed up
like this : Esrly potatoes, slow to coms
up, make large growth of vines and
have very few potatoes under them,
snd ere selling now for $1.50 per bu ;
qaality good, Corn ss a general re-
sult will be a fallure with us while in
isolated spots you will see 8 good field
~that ie, where the flint varieties were
planted. The season was fine for corn
where it was planted esrly. The
writer planted three acree—one of
sweel corn apd two of the smut nose
flint varlety—>n sandy black losm
land, and a betler crop could not be
desired, but I planted on the 24th of
May. Bweet corn I grow to market
in our town; my 2-acre farm lies
within the city limite and only one
walle from the city proper and that fe
why it le very profitable for me to
grow truck. I planted everything
early and left it for rain, I dodged
the showers and planted. [ did not
grumble sbout the weather, go to town
and get a drink, and wait until it was
too late to plant profitably. The re-
sults can be summed up this way : 1
am selling potatoes st §1.25 per bu;
csbbages, of which I will bave 2,000,
at 5 to 10¢ & head ; sweet corn at from
124 to 1bc doz; carrots, beete, ruts-
bagasse, ele, 0 my neighbor farmers
ss well as to the city people, and am
working over time to supply them.
Most all the above named vegetables
did pot grow on many farme this year
and high prices will prevail every-
where. The hay crop was double this
year all over the state ; price $72.00 to
$10.00 per ton. Butter, 302 and scarce.
Apples, a good crop; huckleberries,
fair crop—$2.00 to $3.00 bu,; egge, 300
doz. Prices for Jive stock great and in
demand,

George Luther Goodhart was borp
near Potters Mills, Centre county, on
March 25th, 1845, died at bis home in
Centre Hall, August 28, 1616,
In every portion of our country,
especial'y the west, we find Penneyl-
vania societies. These men and wo-
men are troud of their native state
and ancestry, going out of our fertile
valleys and prosperous towns to make
new homes, but take with them their
ancestral characteristics of thrift,
honesty and religion,
To those who remain at home equal
hon r should be given; to them is
entrusted the charge of perpetuating
the many virturs, stability of charac
ter and unadulterated probity of a
God-fearing ancestry in our own
homes. To this rear gusrd belonged
the subj-ct of this sketch.
From a long line of patriotic and
plous ancestry he inherited the many
traits of character that were so promi-
nent in his whole life, From the
fraternal side came the hardy, plod-
ding, psiustaking German character :
from the maternal side the quicker,
more intense and to a degree impul-
sive character of the Beoteh Irish.

mother of the subject of this skelch,
Martha Gregg ( McEwen Goodhart,
wes a dsughter of Henry and Eliza-
beth Gregg McEwen, snd lived her
whole life here. Henry McEwen,
with his young wife, came to Penns
Valley shortly after the revolution,
from Carlisle, when the valley was
little leas than a wildernes. Henry
McEwen wae a soldier of the revolu-
tion, enlisting at Carlisle, in Captain
Hendrick's Company of Vennsylvania
riflemen, Boon after bis enlistment his
company was ordered to Boston and
with others was chosen by General
Schuyler, with Arnold in commsnd,
to make the memorable march from
Fort Western (now Augusts) through
the wilderness to join General Mont-
gomery snd assist in the attack on the
fortress of Quebec. In this bapd-to-
nand fight McEwen was wounded
and taken prisoner and Lis captain
and steadfast friend, Captain Hen-
dricks, mortally wounded. The hard-
ships and privatione of this march, as
told by historians, in mid-winter, and
severe northern climate, fording raging
torrente, deep snow, clothing torn to
rage, lack of food, having to eat the
moccasins that covered their frozen
feet, seems almost incredible to us of
this day.
From esrly manhood George L.
Goodhart hed been 8 member of the
Sinking Creek ( Centre Hall) Presby-
terisn Church and for over forty
years a ruling Elder. He had his be-
loved church always near his heart
and in prosperity or adversity he
stood steadfast, upholding and en-
coursging pastor and people; he never
faltered or shirked a duty. He always
took great interest in the moral: and
civic affairs of the community, held
many positions of responsibility and
truest and administered them all with
fidelity and carefulness. He was
county commissioner for two termes
(6 years ) many years treasurer of the
Patrons of Husbandry Fire Insurance
Co., treasurer of Grange Park Associa-
tion, His avocation was that of a
farmer. He was active and pro-
gressive ; always in advance in any
measure that had for ite object the
betterment of the farmer or farm life.
As years came on he relinquished
his farm to his son, taking up kis
home in Centre Hall, where he spent
the remaining years of his busy life
honored and respected by all.
Born, lived and died in beautiful
Penne Valley, every foot of ground
within the confines of the *‘ Beven
Hills”, Tassey and old Nittany
Mouuntsine; was dear to him. It was
his joy to see it prosper, his best efforts
to promote its growth and advance
ment. No one knew its people better
or loved them more,
The homage pald him on the beauti-
ful day when all that was mortal was
borne to its ast resting attests
the love and esteem in which he was
held by those who were his neighbors
and friends and with whom his life
had been an open book. In the
