The harvest homo picnic of the Mt.
Zion Lutheran church, German Hill, last
Thursday, was the best attended and
most successful in all respects that has
ever been held in the handsome grove
adjoining the church property. 1t is es-
timated there were nearly, if not quite,
300 people present, and as the weather
proved to be ideal the enjoyment was
complete. There was no lack of delicious
viands, in fact so abundant that several
baskets were untouched. The speeches
pleased all, and the musical end of the
program csptivated the large crowd from
start to finish.
AT the last commencement of the
Lock Haved State Normal School, a
handsome tower clock and $500 pound
bell was dedicated. They were presented
by Mr.. Wilson Kistler, philanthropic
citizen of Lock Haven, and they are in
every respect first class, the entire ex-
pense involving an expenditure of about
100000. This is an evidence of the es-
TEEN in which the school is held by the
best citizens of its home community, but
it has a state wide reputation as well, as
reference to its finely illustrated catalog
will show. The fall term of l5 weeks be-
gins Sept. 1lth. Write for cstalog. 1t
Nathan h. Butler, who will become
the state commissioner of fisheries on
September |, has announced that he will
give special attention to the development
of the fisheries at Lake Erie, and says:
ut shall be special aim of my admins
tration to develop the food fish industry
so as to become factor in the cheaper
cost of living. Nowhere else in all the
world is there such chance for greater
catches of wbitefish, lake herring and
lake trout as along the Pennsylvania
shores of Lake Erie. Nowhere are there
any table fish to surpsss them" Unless
1t should be the good old Allegheny river
sucker, say we.
The arrangements that have been
carried out, and the contracts thus far
signed for l9ll's Big Pittsburgh Land
Show, from October IL to 2S, assure a
greater success than was last years.
This is saying great deal, indeed, for the
1910 display in the gigantic Duquesne
Garden-one of the largest exhibition
halls in Americs-was the first successful
event of its kind east of the Mississippi.
More than that, 1t was phenomenal in the
high rank 1t took among exhibitions of
all kinds, land and otherwise; while as a
Land Show distinctively, it was mar
yelous revelation to the East, particularly
in its many attractive displays of the rich
resources of the West, from the Missis-
sippi to the Pacific, from New Orleans to
Portland, from st. Paul to ElPaso and
from Maine to Florida.
Mrs. G. F. Watson and Mrs. Cora
Felt, assisted by Mrs. w. A. Shewman,

their home Tuesday afternoon from two

beautiful doll, Miss Helen Smear baugh
