Lewistown is in the midst of a great
revival campaign, and the large Metho-

trapper, hunter and raw fur dealer, of
Spring Mills, While he considers his
business at low ebb, to others the collec-
tion of furs now on hand and about to
be shipped is large indeed. The stock is
safeguarded against theft by a series of
ingenious locks, trap doors and traps,
leaving no chance to deplete his stock by
theft as was done last season,

Farmers’ Institute,
The Farmers’ Iostitute held in this
district at Spring Mills, on Friday, was
voted a success by every one who at-
tended, and was of a character to war-
rant even a much larger attendance than
was given it. The subjects discussed
were practical and were discussed in
the same way. the volley of questions
following each speaker proving a real in-
terest had been aroused.
Singing by the Vocational School chil-
dren at the opening session was highly
pleasing and their music and manners
as highly complimentary to their in-
stuctress and the institution they repre-
sented, At the evening session the
words to a number of familiar tunes
were thrown on the screen, the whole au-
dience joining in the singing of them,
To further enliven the occasion,® The

A Call to Prayer.
The Federation of Woman's Boards of
Foreign Missions and the Council of
Women for Home Missions are again
uniting io a Call to Prayer for the ob-
servance in 1921 of a joint Day of Prayer
for World Wide Missions.
Friday, February 18, at 2:30 p. m., io
the Reformed S. S room in Centre Hall,
has been set apart as the day,
Test Your Seed Corn.
If you have not already tested your
seed corn for germination, now is a good
time to start. Cora that has come
through to this time without injury will
be safe for the remainder of the winter.
It is estimated that fifty per cent. of
Centre county's farmers test their seed
corn, Which fifty per cent. do you be-
long to? Every ear of corn planted
means from four to six dollars worth of
corn next fall. Can you afford to plant
many poorly germinated ears? It costs
no more to produce a field of corn with
a hundred per cent. stand than with a
sixty per cent. stand, If you will send
or bring a sample of your corn to the
Farm Bureau at Bellefonte we shall be
glad to run a germination test for you.
