SOME GRAND OLD * TREES
DISCOVERED BY STATE.
————
Magnificent Tract of Virgin White
Pine and Other Patriarchs Found
to Be on State Lands.
The state forestry department has dis-
covered that Pennsylvania owns one of
the finest tracts of virgin timber left in
the state, and the discovery has brought
to light some interesting information as
to how the tract was saved,
The timber, two hundred acres in ex-
tent, is located in the Logan state forest
district, in Huntingdon county, near
the Centre county line. It includes
thousands of fine trees, white pines from
one hundred to 140 feet tall ; massive
white oaks, ash, slip hickory and pat-
riarchal hemlock
Fifty years ago lumbermen built
small railroad into the woods to get
the timber. Near this particular
of timber the ground was rough and the
construction of the railroad would have
been too difficult to be economically ad-
visable, so the trees were spared.
Later *'shingle thieves” e of
the trees and left marks on some of
the others which still exist to show that
they tested them if they

SIMILAR TO SHELL SHOCK
Malady Affecting Those Unfortunate

Cases have lately come to the at-
tention of the military surgéons where
the fright and fear due to ships be-
Ing torpedoed have given rise to
symptoms suggestive of shell shock.
Doctor Clunet, In a communication to
the Neurological society of Paris, has
described the mental effect observed
when on board a ship which was tor
pedoed.
After the first stupefaction follow-
ing the attack it was observed that
several passengers discharged guns
into the air or Into the sea. In other
words, the pent-up nervous energy
found release in letting loose the im-
mense energy concentrated In explo-
sives. Similarly, It was well known at
the front that a long day of waiting
in the trenches was productive of
more cases of shell shock than a day
of active engagement with the enemy.
Next there were a few cases of sul-
clde among the passengers, These
passengers were on the whole ealm
enough, even on the life rafts. It was
only when they were on the rescuing
ship that psychoneurote phenomena
began to develop, including mutism,
spasmodic weeping, laughter, tremors,
spasmodic movements of the limbs, ete,
The Versatile Carrot.
There is nothing like a war to
change the status of things. Look, for
example, at the humble carrot. Before
the war it was one of the lowllest of
all the vegetables, seldom used ex

dinners, but it certainly has been do-

for eggs in certain things, Little slices
dried become raising and currants, and
other bits, treated a little differently,
masquerade as candied orange and
lemon peel. Orange marmalade and
certain kinds of jam are made of them,
and large chunks of them bolled and
sugared make wonderful candied fruits
of every kind-pineapples, pears, apri-

W. Nedson Keller Changes Plans for
Coming Home and Will Be Locat-
ed at Mt. Ararat for the Next
Year.
In a recent issue of the ‘Reporter it
was stated that former Lieut. W. Ned-
son Keller, of Linden Hall, who has
spent the past year abroad as a physical
instructor under the Roumanian govern-
ment, had been dismissed owing to the
threatening clouds of disorder and war
ying over that country, and that he
would sail for the States next month.
Since then the Reporter has received
several short communications from Mr.
Keller, in which he expresses a change
in his plans, deciding to spend a year

Lot Game at Coburn,
Inability to hit the easiest pitcher the
local team has faced all season, caused
the defeat of the Centre Hall baseball
team at Coburn, on Saturday afternoon,
by the score of 7 to 6. Centre Hall fail-
ed to score until late in the game, and
tied up the score in the ninth, only to
lose it in Coburn's half of the last frame,
when Auman, a good batter from Mill-
heim, “who up until this time was merely
a spectator on the side-lines, was press-
ed into service as a pinch hitter. He
lifted a fly ball to left which was good
for two bases and put the winning run

Dr. Cawley made an examination of

conclusion that in each case death had
been caused by drinking poisoned water

Judge Savidge will take depends upon
the chemical analysis. The entire herd
