STATE COLLEGE.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, April 20.
The weather continues quite fair,
with an occasional cold brush and on
Saturday night light skip of snow
which all disappeared by noon of the
following day.
Easter Sunday was fair but quite
cold. Sunday school was held in the
morning as usual in the Methodist
church, followed by an exercise and
song by the little folks.
Since last Tuesday the town has
seemed somewhat deserted owing to
the fact that most of the college boys
are home on their Easter vacation.
Among those who returned to Wayne
from here were Elmer Sampson,
Ariel, and Clinton Gilpin, Dreher.
The latter motored home in his new
ly-built 45 horsepower car which he
has recently completed at the college.
The best creamery butter selling at
33 cents and eggs following at fifteen
cents per dozen did not make the
Easter celebration very expensive
one for the citizens of this town.
Very little plowing or planting has
been done at this writing and the
predictions for late spring seem to
be coming true. However, the young
shoots of wheat make the fields look
green.
The total amount of butter churn-
ed at the creamery on Saturday was
l046 pounds. How does this com
pare with the output of the New.
foundland creamery?

A drop of water lay one day in the
filth of the gutter, soiled, stained and
polluted. Looking up into the clear,
blue sky, it began to wish for purity,
and to be made crystalline. The sigh
was heard by the great sun. With
warm, gentle fingers the sun lifted it
out of the filth of the foul gutter into
the pure, sweet air. Higher and
higher it was carried until it found
its home with its fellows in the
bosom of snow-white cloud. May
it not be so in the resurrection of the
Just?
