Mysterious Visitors Excite Mill Hall
: Real Estate Owners.
Mill Hall real estate owners are all
het up over the mysterious visit
there, recently, of three men who
claimed to be real estate operators
of Philadelphia. They were accom-
panied by two photographers and
took data and pictures of the site
of the old axe factory which was de-
stroyed by fire more than a year ago;
pictures of the land, the dam, the
house formerly occupied by the mill
superintendent, the never-failing
spring nearby, the site of the old
woolen mill and its water power
rights, the Mann Edge Tool company
holdings and the railroad spur which
is owned by that company and the
Bellefonte Lime and Stone company,
and its connections with the New
York Central railroad.
The men departed without making
known the purpose of their work, al-
though it is reported that they did
intimate that their investigations
might result in something good for
Mill Hall, industrially.

GUESTS OF ROTARY. |
Thirteen members
county lamb feeding club, and the |
fathers of most of the members, were
entertained by the State College Ro-
tary club at a dinner at the Centre
Hills Country club Tuesday evening
of last week. Roast lamb served at
the dinner was grown by the club
members, who were sponsored by the
State College Rotarians.
H. G. Niesley, assistant director of
agricultural extension at the ‘College
and a member of the Rotary com-
mittee on rural and urban relations,
was chairman of the meeting. He
introduced county agent R. C. Blan-
ey who briefly reviewed the work of
the club, introduced the youthful
lamb feeders and their parents, and
presented ribbons to the winners in
the county round-ups.
Blaney reported that 1928 was the
third year of lamb club work in the
county. A year ago at the State
farm products show in Harrisburg,
the reserve grand championship was
won by Jane Vial. At the show last
month the Centre county club clean-
ed up on the honors.

Ribbons were awarded at the meet-
ing Tuesday evening to the highest
ten in the club, the places being de-
cided on showing merit, record hooks
kept, and daily gain of lambs.
Awards were as follows: Lee Homan,
first; Fred Luse, second; Clarence
Hoy, third; James Campbell, fourth;
Donald Campbell, fifth; Alice Foust,
sixth; Edward Bitner, seventh;
Charles Harter, eighth; Floyd Weigh,
ninth, and Philip Smith, tenth.
P. C. MacKenzie, superintendent of
livestock at the college, who judged
the lambs at Harrisburg, stated that
they were the most uniform, best
conditioned group of club lambs that
he had judged in the past ten years.
As a feature of the program W. B.
Connell, sheep and wool extension
specialist at State College, presented
an illustrated talk on the various
breeds of sheep and modern methods
of flock management.
After the program the club boys
and girls held a short business meet-
ing at which Fred Luse was elected
president and James Campbell, sec-
retary-treasurer. Messrs. Blaney,
Connell, and W. L. Henning, of the
college department of animal hus-
bandry, made short talks. Plans are
being laid for another lamb club this
year.
Wagner and Co. Installing a Miracle-
Ace Hammer Mill.
C. Y. Wagner & Co., are installing
a MiraclesAce hammer mill in their
mill in this place and expect to have
it in operaton by the 15th of néxt
month.
While the Wagner mill here is one
of the best ‘equipped in: the country
the management has been more or
less hampered because of lack of fa-
cility to grind feed rapidly enough
to meet their standard of service to
the trade.
The new mill will have a capacity
of three tons per hour, and when it
is operating it is hoped that before
the farmer who takes grain to the
mill has seen the last of his raw ma-
terial leaving his wagon or truck
the first bags of his feed, perfectly
ground, will be swinging out to be
loaded up.
Many farmers who are buying pat-
ent feeds might find it greatly to
their own profit to have their own
corn and oats ground. Because Wag:
ner & Co., will add all the meals de-
sired, grinding and making the mix
at a very trifling cost.

Evangelist Boone Holding Successful
Meetings at United Brethren
Church.
What promises to be one of the
best revivals in the history of the
United Brethren church is now in
progress with evangelist C. E. Boone

ance every night is proof that his
sermons are of the nature of those
preached by the Apostle Peter when
men were caused to cry out “What
must we do to be saved?”
Regardles of what church you are
a member, or if you have never held
membership in any church and are
anxious to get better acquainted with
God, or if you are in search of a Sav-
ior and want to know Christ and His
power to forgive sins, then you are
welcome to these meetings. You will
find the evangelist to be a kind and
sympathetic friend in his message or
in rendering personal aid at the close
of services. Rev. Boone has had
fourteen years in the fields as an
evangelist, and has been instrument-
al in leading hundreds of souls to the
place of acknowledging the truth of
Scripture that “His blood cleanseth
from all sin.” ito

Bellefonte Central to Put Out Issue
of $200,000 in Bonds.
Subject to the approval of the In-
terstate Commerce Commission the
Bellefonte Central Railroad company
has sold to William Marriott Canby,
of Philadelphia, and Jay N. Schroed-
er & Co., Inc., of Lancaster, an issue
of $200,000 first mortgage twenty-
year six per cent. sinking fund gold
bonds, which will be offered shortly
to investors.
The company’s earnings during
1928 have been benefited in a marked
degree by the change in the rate
structure giving points on its line
the same rates as those applicable to
other points in the Bellefonte terri-
tory.
For the year ending December 31,
1928, the earnings of the company on
the basis of the tentative division of
rates with the Pennsylvania Railroad
have been as follows: gross, $154,-
273.50; operating expenses, including
car service, $106,569.27; net earnings,
$47,704.23.
Still After Encampment Site in Cen-
tre County.
Sponsors for the removal of the
annual National Guard encampments
from Mount Gretna, in Lebanon coun-
ty, to a site in Centre county, have
not given up hope, notwithstanding
the fact that the 1927 Legislature de-
feated a bill providing for its removal
to this county.
According to a report from Harris-
burg a bill is again to be introduced
in the Senate providing for the pur-
chase of the Centre county site, and
carrying an appropriation of $600,000
for that purpose. The proposed site
in Centre county is in the Barrens,
near Scotia, where there would be
ample room for all branches of the
service to camp at one time, and
where the soldiers could make all the
noise they wanted to without disturb-
ing anybody.
