Hardly a Market for Them
Many acres of ground in this
were planted in potatoes this spring,
and the yield has been enormous. The
demand for the tubors just at present
is not very great, and the price offered
is not a very flattering one, with
scarcely any market at all. This
causing some who have large crops,
much worry. The price will go up
later on, and will pay to hold them
for a while at least,

Won Another.
The Centre Hall ball team won a
game from Spring Mills last Saturday
at the latter's ground, by a score of 32
to 8. The game was uninteresting
and long played. Spring Mills put up
a picked nine, and played good ball,
notwithstanding the rough ground.
Our boys were treated white and were
handsomely entertained by the town.

The Baffled Advertiser,
An exchange paper tells a story of a
man in London who determined to
spend all he made during the first year
in advertising. He soon found that it
was impossible for the simple reason
that the more he advertised the more
he made, and after a strenuous effort
to get rid of his money in advertising
he had to give it up.
