Though the weather man did not
smile very propitiously on church
goers last Sunday it did not deter the
good people hereabouts from attend-
Ing the re-dedicatory services In the | & nal contributions to this paper were
Lutheran church and that edifice was
crowded both morning and evening.
The interior of the church was beau-
tifully decorated with potted plants
and flowers. The services were in
charge of the pastor, Rev. A. M. Lut-
ton, while a choir led by Mrs. Anna
F.’Reed furnished appropriate music.
During the first song service the in-
fant daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Lut-
ton, Christine Elizabeth Imly Lutton,

was an able effort. The evening serv-
ices were in charge of Dr. C. T. Ai-
kens, a former pastor. At the latter
services a class of twelve young peo-
ple were confirmed into full member-
ship. In his discourse Dr. Aikens
congratulated the pastor and mem-
bers of the congregation on the suc-
cess of their efforts in remodeling and
beautifying their church, which is now
one of the nicest country churches in
this section of the State. And the
beauty of it is, every expense has been
met. George Smith, of Bellefonte,
had charge of the work and the church
committee was composed of the pas-

Writing from Blackfalds, Alberta,
Canada, Will Truckenmiller, former-
ly of Nittany valley, and whose occa-
always read with considerable intrest,
says:
“A friend once wrote and asked me
what we could grow so far north as
Edmonton, evidently believing this
country a frozen wilderness. If he
could see the crops of wheat, oats,
barley and other grain we grow here,
and the milk, cream, butter and eggs
shipped from here he would have a
very much different opinion of this
country.
«The Blackfalds valley reminds me
very much of Pennsvalley, near the
Old Fort. It is about ten miles wide,
slightly rolling and is dotted here and
there with small groves of timber,
while the big red barns and white
farm houses stand out prominently
on the landscape as enduring senti-
nels of the country’s prosperity. Im-
mense crops of grain are grown and
fine herds of Shorthorn and Pole An-
gus cattle are to be seen everywhere.
I do not think I ever saw a more pros-
perous country, and in my ten years’
residence here I have not met one
farmer who was not making money.
“A good barometer of any country’s
prosperity are the mortgage fore-
closures, and there has not been a
single foreclosure sale within a five
mile radius of here in the past ten
years. Very little land is for sale,
and when for any reason a farm is put
upon the market it is generally pur-
chased by the adjoining farmer. In-
terest rates on first mortgage are
eight per cent., the money mostly com- |:
ing from the United States, and at
the present rate of exchange, it will
net the investor about ten per cent.
If I remember correctly six per cent.
used to be considered high in old Nit-
tany valley. Chances for specula-
tion are still good here, if one watch-
es for openings. Five years ago I
bought a piece of wild land at twen-
five dollars an acre. Cleaning it off
and putting it under cultivation ran
the price up to forty dolars. My first
crop of wheat was fifty bushels to the
acre, for which I received two dollars
a bushel.
“We are having a fine winter. About
three inches of snow and only a few
days of cold weather, with every pros-
pect of an early spring. I went up
to the lake yesterday but did not get
any fish; didn’t have a single bite. All
of the fish were evidently out in deep
water. One of these days we will get
a big thaw and that will bring the
fish near the shore.
“I see by the “Watchman” that all
the old hunting gangs got their share
of venison in December. A great
many moose were killed here in No-
vember by big game hunters, but I
contented myself with shooting par-
tridge and prairie chickens, getting
about eighty in the season.” »
