Morrison’s record oats yield in Venango County, Clarence Yoder’s new school post in Mauch Chunk, William Morrison’s aviation service in San Francisco with injuries, Mrs. Ammon’s cross-state family visit, and a large Mericle family reunion at Sunbury with a tug of war showing their combined strength.
