CHESTNUT. FARM TN
COLOMBIA COUNTY

By the purchase of 1866 acres of tim
berland In what Is known as "Pine
Swamp" In Cleveland township, Col
umbia county, Coleman K. Sober, of
Lewisburg, known the world over as
the chestnut King" has secured a
place which he considers ideal for the
developing of one of his we'll known
chestnut farms. The property was
bought from Martin Luther Sober, last
week.
1t is his intention to take off what
timber Is marketable. and then to clear
tine plot of all underbrush and rotten
limbs, etc. After this is doue. he will
commence the systematic planting of
his Paragon chestnut trees, with
which he has won fame and fortune.
1t is his intention to make the Oolum :
bis county chestnut farm the equal of
his Northumber county property.
Mr.. Sober has 400 acres of laud on
his Irish Valley farm, near Shamokin.
Here lie has planted thou auds of
native chestnut trees, upon which he
has grated the Italian or Paragon" "
chestnuts. Last year he harvested
5000 bushels. all of which were sold
in the State OF Washington for the
average price Of So per bushel
THIS year he has 300 0C0 CRAFTS start
ed, aud expects to graft 100 600 trees
on his farm there. The balance he will
sell to Glen Bros. nursery firm, in
Rochester, N. Y, which has contract
ed to take all the gratis he can raise
! With new trees coming on this year,
and a good crop, there is no present
reason, he says, why the crop ought
not to exceed 5000 bushels on the
farm.
The intention of Mr.. Sober is to
eventually sell his chestnuts In all
parts of the country. He has had his
farm In Irish Valley about 10 years,
and has made great success of it,

GIRLS PLAY
BASKET BALL

one of the most interesting athletic
place at Sunbury Friday evening, when
two games of basket ball were played
by teams composed Of young ladies,
who represented physical culture class
es in Dsnville and Sunbury. The fact
that the superior playing Of the Sun
bury girls was responsible for defeats
for the Danville players in both the
contests did not detract bit from the
pleasure of the occasion.
The young ladies who played on the
two Danville teams are members OF
the class which has been working this
winter under the supervision Of Miss
Lovett. and which made such favor
able impression In the Y. M. O. A.
aymnastio exhibition recently. The
personnel of the teams was as follows;
Misses Lillian Foster, Effie Woods.
Edna Hughes, Edna Gearhart, Elsie
and Lorena Gulick, Ethel Rockefeller.
Ethel Shannon, Edith Jenkins, Louisa
williams, Bertells Wolverton, Mabel
Shepperson.
The members Of the Sunbury teams
were chosen from a GLASS OF the Young
Women's Christian Association OF that
town, which during this winter has
been instructed by Miss Jessie Kimer-
or, of nanvilla, The games were play
cd in the Casino, Second street, Sun
bury, and were witnessed by large
and enthusiastic audience composed en-
tirely Of women. Both the games we're
hotly contested and enthusiasm ran
high rs the young lady players brought
out all the fine points of the game,
dribbling, passing covering and shoot
ing baskets, With the dash and aocur-
acy OF veterans The scores were % to
3 and 8 to 6, both in Sunbury favor.

the local Y. NJ. @ A. acted as referee,
The picture made by the two teams
was very pretty. The girls from the

white, with sailor blouse and bloom
ers. The Suubury players wore white

After the games all the players were
escorted to the rooms Of the Sunbury
Y. w O. A where a social hour was
spent and retrashments were served.

DEFAClNG THE
MONUMENT

Chief-of-Police Mincemoyer visited
Memorial park Friday afternoon for
the purpose of investigating the re-
port that vandals are defacing the sol
dlers' monument.
The report is no doubt we'll found
ed. The offenders seem to be BOYS of
town. who commit their depredations
in broad daylight. Among the persons
who talked to the chief on the subject
was an eye witness. The boys were
seen to use the statues as targets aud
to pelt them with stones, while Others
performed acrobatio feats on the top
of the large highly polished granite
balls. Indeed, no part of the memorial
seems sacred and, unless something is
done, it will be only question OF
time until the noble memorial will
reveal the marks of abuse and desecra
tion.
The chief of police found small
stones lying at the feet of the statues
showing that there was truth in the
report that the figures are being used
as targets. Apparently very little
actual damage has as yet been wrought.
Not moment should be lost by the
borough authorities in taking action
to prevent a repetition Of such con,
temptible conduct on the part OF boys.
1t is useless to attempt to hold the
two policemen responsible for the con.
dition of affairs in the park. The acts
of vandalism are not committed when
the officers are in sight and with the
whole town on their beat they natur.
ally have but little time each day tc
devote to the park.
There should be some person whose
special duty is is to look after the
park and to be On the ground at least
portion OF tue time. The park Is be.
ing made play ground for boys. The
young trees are being mutilated and
Jhe SOD ruined.
There ought to be some way of dis
covering who the chief offenders are
These should be arrested and an ex
ample made Of them that would have
deterrent effect on Others. The parl
