Thirty-two of the graduat ing class had experenee as teachers and they now have lucrative po sitions for next year. Many im provements are being made during the summer so that when school opens on September 11th, every thing will be in first class shape for the large school that is sure to en roll. The Ideal Summer Resort. Laporte, 2,200 feet above sea level,- is the ideal summer resort of Northern Pennsylvania. Here each summer gather a large number of city dwellers, who seek to escape the intense heat of the city and en joy the health giving air of the high altitude and enjoy the aquatic pleasures afforded by Lake Mokoma a beautiful mountain lake located in a picturesque valley a few minuets walk from town. The banks of Lake Mokoma are the chosen camping grounds of those who wish to spend a short time near to the breast of Mother Nature, and the mountain sides echo with the merry hail of the campers. It is located on the scenic W. & N. 15. railroad, whose tracks curve through wild woodland, valleys and across mountain streams from Williamsport to Satterfield. The camping facilities of Lake Mokoma are unexcelled at any summer re sort in the state. The boating and bathing are of the best, while the large, new power boat, with a capacity of one hundred passengers, recently launched upon its beauti ful waters adds greatly to its at traction. Dry Aviation Meet. The aviation meet at Elmira on Friday afternoon was rather a dry affair, as far as the aviators were concerned. The aviators had plan ned lor a "wet" meeting. They had placed a case of beer where they could occasionally between trips in the air, take a pull at a cold bottle. A party of highly honored Sayre men, men who are are considered highly honorable in Sayre business circles, found that case and what they did to it made the aviation meet a dry affair.— Sayre Times Record. Come to Laporte. It is a rare pleasure to find a place for a quiet vacation rest where no telephones tinkles, no automobiles honks and locomotive shrieks. At such a place one is given a chance to renew acquain tances with nature. Then you will have time to think. You will have time to commune with your self, and that will benefit greatly the wearied mind and body.—To wanda Review. If your are thinking of taking a vacation Brother Baker, come to Laporte, one of the finest summer resorts in tin' state. Annual Church Supper.
