PIONEERS HOME
 FALLING IN RUIN
Daniel Boone's Birth Site Slowly
 Falling Into Decay

Reading, Pa, March lb,--Deter- lorated by the elements it has with stood for 1o2 years, the stone house In the foothills Of Exeter township, Berks county. where Daniel Boone the Kentucky pioneer. was born. Is slowly falling to ruin from lack of care, Until two years ago the house had been tenanted and the necessary repairs made. but now it is deserted the cellar full Of water. windows broken, floors decayng and the 16o acres of estate nre uncared for. The farm is situated about one md half miles from Stonersville. The lane leading to the premises is mark ed by large white rock placed by the Historical society Of Berks coun- ty, on which is the inscription: "One quarter mile to the birthplace of Dan- iel Boone, Oct g. 1733."
 In this connection it may be said that some authorities give the date of birthplace Bucks county. Pennsyl- rania.
 According to history Boone stayed here until he was IT years of age, when he went to Kentucky. Tradition has it that it was nearby that he | killed his first bear when he was IA years old, and he was So proud of his | achievement that he carved an in- | scription on a tree with his hunting knife, reading: ID. Boone killed a bar near here"
 The house has four rooms on the first floor, six on the second and m ! attic. The original Boone dwelling l had two rooms on the first floor and three on the second, but an addition similar to the original in every re- spect was made after the family mi- grated.
 One of the original rooms contains large fireplace made of stones and still in good condition. Here it was on the mantlepiece, according to tra- dition, that young Boone carved a notch indicating his height when he went to Kentucky, and upon his re- turn in middle age was interested to see how much he had grown. How ever the historic notch cannot be dis covered on the mantelpiece.
 The shutters and doors of the dwelling are hung on wrought iron

hinges and still are in good condition, but many of thA windows are broken, permitting raj" "and snow to enter and causing the floor to decay
 Efforts have been made 10 have the state purchase the house where the pioneer was born, and still more re- gently there have been reports that the Historical society of Clarke coun- ty, Ky, has interested itself in the possible purchase of the farm for his- torieal purposes The farm is valued at sl5,o0o, according to late estl- mates.

Sunday School Banquet at the
Methodist Church.

The Adult Department OF the
Methodist Sunday School with some
invited guests numbering altogether
$50. sat down TO a sumpteus banquet
last Thursday evening. Everyone
enjoyed the meal and also the after
dinner program which lasted about
two hours. Great credit Is due all
who took part but especially Mr..
Cady who acted as toast master in a
most efficient manner Under his
leadership anything OF prosy ma
ture was impossible Those who re-
sponded TO toasts were Mrs. Correu,
Mrs. Messerole, Il. Y Hutchison, Mr..
Nauman, Mrs. Hubenthal. Mr.. Cor
rell Mrs J Jackson, Il, ii Harris.
and J. e. Cooke. All the speeches
sparloed with wit and also with
words OF wisdom The program was
interspersed with musical numbers
including violin solo by Ruth Nap
colas; vocal solo BY MI Biashield
and a duett by Garnet Wearing and
Mrs Cooke.
The speaker of the evening, Rev
H. II. Goodell of Monroe. delighted
the company with his eloquent and
earnest appeal for the Sunday
school. He urged that better bust
ness methods be employed and that
n lnrgpr financial uunnnrf ha ,.ipa, o.,
this important part of church work.
He conyulsed a part of the company
when he told the men thar they had
no right to graduate from the Sunday
school until they could pass a good
examination on the entire Bible. All
present were agreed that It would be
profitable to have such gatherings
very frequently

A Year of Growth and Progress.

In spite of the snow and the icy
walks and streets, four hundred and
twenty eight (42S) OF the members
and friends of the First Congrega-
tional church assembled in the lee
ture room last Thursday night for
the annual Get-Together supper and
the reading Of reports by the differ
ent organizations within the church.
In many particulars this was the
most cheering and record breaking
meeting Of the kind ever held by the
church. 1t was gathering where
everybody greeted everybody else
with a smile and CHEEKY pleasantly
The chairman of the social features
and all others having a part in the
planning and carrying out of the
evenings activities are deserving Of
congratulation for their good judg-
ment and tact shown in the arrange
ments. The supper itself was feast
of good things, with ice cream and
cake and delightful orchestra music
and uplifting singing by the ladies'
quartet thrown in for good measure.
The supper hour was followed by
the reading of reports from the diff
ferent branches of Christian work
which this church sponsors. A few Of
the outstanding items CLEANED from
these reports will no doubt prove of
interest and help, to even those In

mendable manner of the abilities and
achievements of Mr. Frank Van Dusen,
who at one time was teacher of music
in this city, and is well known here.
A list of his activities, outside of his
jealous happiness as teacher, inc,ldes
organ positions at many of the most
prominent churches in Chicago, besides
many successful recital appearances
in that city and other places.
His most recent movement is the
keen-eyed valuation Of the organ in the
moving picture houses. He knows that
it has come to stay and therefore quiet
ly and business-like sets about meeting
new and legitimate outlet for musical
expression that has money at it's rain
bow end. He has been training and
finds he can easily place an incredibly
large number of theatre organists.
