A birthday party was given Mrs.
William Kerstetter last Wednesday
eevening, about thirty friends and
neighbors being present. Mrs. Ker-
stetter has many friends in this com-
munity and her qualifications as an
entertainer are superb. All those who
were fortunate in being at the birth-
day party will have something pleas-
ant to remember for a long time.
Owing to a rush of new orders the
management at Whiterock was com-
pelled to ask the men to work half
a day on Sunday. While this is
against the general policy in vogue
2t this plant, as all the officials be-
lieve in observing the Sabbath, yet
there may come rare occasions when
work is really unavoidable. Sub-
stantial orders to be held must be
filled promptly, otherwise a great loss
will be the result.
Some weeks ago an evangelist held
a series of meetings at Fillmore with
a view of converting as many of the
sinners in that section as possible.
He set apart one night for the young
girls and on that occasion preached
an unusual sermon, strong and em-
phatic in every detail, after which he
extended an invitation to all to come
forward with a view of changing their
worldly career. To his surprise not
one responded. He then said “if you
young girls don’t want to go to
heaven you can go to hell,” laying
particular emphasis upon the last
word. Our old friend, Billy Sunday
usually pulled off some rather origi-
nal sayings, but I never heard him
express himself quite so abruptly as
did this evangelist.

Have You a Bad Back?
Then the Advice of This Bellefonte
Resident Will Interest You.
Does your back ache night and day;
Hinder work; destroy your rest?
Are you tortured with stabbing
pains
When you stoop, lift or bend ?
Then likely your kidneys are weak.
More troubles may soon appear.
Headaches, dizziness, nervousness;
Or uric acid and its ills.
Help your weakened kidneys with a
stimulant diuretic.
Use Doan’s Pills.
Read this Bellefonte testimony:
Samuel Weaver, S. Water St., says:
“I almost got down with backache
and mornings I felt so lame and stiff
I could hardly bend over to put on my
shoes. During the day I suffered ter-
ribly and my kidneys acted irregular-
ly. Doan’s Pills from Runkle’s drug
store benefitted me in every way.”

Use of Cement Has Increased 50 p. c.
In Last 5 Years,
Record Increase in Output
Accompanied by 16%
Decline in Price
ATA just compiled by the
U. 8. Geological Survey and
the Bureau of Labor Stat-
istics discloses the fact that during
the year just ended the output of
Portland cement was 50% more
than five years ago while prices in
the same period have declined
373% cents a barrel or 16 per cent.
As a matter of fact, it is seldom
that any industry has been called
upon to meet such an increased de-
mand for its products as has been
met by the Portland cement in-
dustry since 1920. In that year
shipments were somewhat in excess
of 96,000,000 barrels. It is estim-
ated that shipments last year
amounted to 145,750,000 barrels,
an increase since 1920 of 50 per
cent,
It is a commentary on the vigor
of American industry that, not-
withstanding the unprecedented
increase in cement use, the manu-
facturers so enlarged their output
that stocks were always adequate
and that during the very time of
this extraordinary demand, prices
actually declined. Prices of Port-
land cement are now lower than
the peak reached in 1920 and that
.peak so far as cement prices were
concerned was far below that of
other commodities and building
materials, °
As regards prices, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics shows that the
peak price of Portland cement

the same six plants, the average
for October, 1924, was $1.85, a re-
duction of 371% cents a barrel, or
16 per cent.
Similarly, the United States Geo-
logical Survey shows that the
average factory price per barrel for
the entire country (the price at
the mill), which reached a peak
of $2.02 for 1920 was $1.90 for
1923. Itis estimated that the Geo-

1924 will be still lower than the
latter figure.

shipments of Portland cement in
1923 exceeded all previous records
by a substantial amount, the year
1924 shows an increase over 1923
of 8.3 per cent in production and
7.2 per cent in shipments thus
making new high records.
Production of Portland cement
last year according to the Geolog-
ical Survey amounted to 148,-
859,000 .barrels and shipments
amounted to 145,747,000 : barrels. -
At the same time stocks of cement
at the end of the year (13,857,000
barrels) were the greatest at the
end of any year recorded by the
survey.
