VOL. XCIIII. HALL, PA. RSDAY, 1920, NO. 25 BIG 3-DAY CHAUTAU- QUA HERE SOON. Centre Hall is Enthusiastic For Its Coming.— Season Tickets Going Fast. \ On Wednesday, June 30, the Chautau- qua will come to Centre Hall and for three days we will enjoy the best enter- tainment and inspiration, ' The local committees are busy with many plans which indicate that we are going to have a most successful Chau- tauqa this year. Season tickets are on sale and seem to be going fast due to the fact that a splendid program has been promised. And fiom all appearances the program will justify the clainis made for it. Dr. Frederick Poole will open the ses- sion with his illustrated lecture on China. “The March of the Yellow Millions,” it is called and it is beautifully illustrated with photographs taken by Dr. Poole during his adventgrous travels in the land of the yellow men. The Versatilians are also scheduled for this day. This trio of young ladies have something new and original in songs and music. Piano, violin, xyle- phone and vocal music will make this opening session well worth attending. Brush the Great—Master of Magic— will hold forth on the second day. Brush is perhaps the best known and most popular magician on the Chautau- qua platform today, He also delivers a lecture which is as interesting as is his wizardry. . The other half of theecond day's tal ent is a duo—the De Marce Enptertsin- ers. These artists are great favorites with Chautauqa patrons, for their harp, violin, apd costume numbers seem io please everyone. On the last day, Dr. Geo.

It is entirely probable, works meas however, that the wheat on rhese low grounds where damage was doue will not yield as large- ly as the higher grounds. Reports from every part of the state show that ap- proximately only 206,630 acres, or less than two per cent, of the area, was abandoned, This leaves 1,566,140 acres for harvest, The greatest damage appears to have been done in Philadelphia, Northam$iton, Bucks, Delaware and Fayette counties. Late seeding and damage by the Hes- sian fly are partly respousible for the abandoned acreas. There was practically no damage this year by ‘heaving’ during March as fre- quently occurs, ei GEORGES VALLEY. C. W.

Attempts to Gain a Ride on Loaded Lumber Wagon, Slips, and Heavy Wagon Passes Over His Neck.— Accident Happens on Nittany Mountain. The life of a thirteen year old boy was snuffed out in the twinkling of an eye,, on Monday morning about ten o'clock, on the Nittany mountain road, about a mile on this side of Pleasant Gap, The unfortunate boy was James Leroy Knoff- singer, a son of William and Cora Meyer Kunoffsinger, of Pleasant Gap. The lad had gained permission from his mother to see the big steam shovel in operation on the State road construction, above Pleasant Gap, and when a lumber wagon, loaded with paper wood, from the Greens Valley forests, and driven by David Weaver, was on its way down the mountain, the boy considered it a chance to ride home, and made an effort to get og the wagon by jumping on tbe rubber'block. The only eye witness to the whole prodeedings was Earl Frazier, of gear Spriog Mills, who was driving an automobile ard was directly behind the wagon. Hé saw the boy fall and the wheel pass over his body. Mr, Wea- ver’s first knowledge of what had taken place was gained when Mr, Frazier drove around him and apprised him of the accident. Returning to the scene of the accident, the boy was found lying on the road, dead. It was seen that the left hind wheel had passed directly over his neck, breaking the spinal column. as well as the jaw bone, The lad never struggled, death having been practical. ly instantaneous. The body was con- eyed to bis parestal home, and the ouoty coroner was advised, who deem- ed ‘an inquest unnecessary under the Circumstances.
