SAINT MARK’S CHURCH CELE-
BRATES THIRD YEAR OF DE-
DICATION OF FINE NEW
AUDITORIUM

The congregation of St. - Mark’s
Chtrch of the United Brethren in
Christ of this place celebrated their
third anniversary of the dedication
of their church auditorium last Sun-
day with appropriate services. The
attendance was fine at both morn-
ing and evening services. Dr. S. C.
Fnck, conference superintendent, of
Harrisburg, was present all day and
preached two inspiring sermous.
These services are growing in inter-
est and enthusiasm yearly. At this
service the congregation is respond-
ing to an gffort to reduce the in-
debtedness. The response this year
was beyond the expectations of the
Official Board, who had set the goal
for the day at $3500.00. At the
close of the evening service, the to-
tal for the day amounted to $3783.-
03. This is the only effort made and
has proven very successful. The
audtiorium was erected in 1923-24
at a cost of $5800.00 with a présent,
indebtedness reported last Sunday
at the opening of the service of
$23,200.00. Against this the cash
and subscriptions last Sunday which
amounted to $3783.03 and will be
paid during the year. At this rate
it will be but a few years until this
congregation will possess a proper-
ty valued at almost $100,090.00

frec of debt. The members of this |
congregation are to be congratulat- |
ed for their unity of effort and
their splendid spirit of loyalty and |
sacrifice they display. |

A Large Fund For |
Our County Roads
STATE ALLOCATES $170,558
HERE IF OUR COUNTY COM-
MISSIONERS WILL MATCH
THAT SUM.
Under the State-aid appropria-
tions for road construction and up-
keep Lancaster county has been al-
located the sum of $170,558, the
largest sum of any county in the
State, the Secretary of High-
ways, announced Saturday. If
matched by the county $340,000 will
be available for county roads.
Under the provisions of a bill re-
cently approved by Governor Fish-
er appropriations are made from the
motor license fund in the sum of
$5,000,000 for State-aid construc-
tion This appropriation is alloca-
ted to the several counties of the
Commonwealth on a mileage basis.
The amounts allocated the coun-
ties from the State-aid appropria-
tion represent the State's money
and when matched by the local
authorities with a like amount will
permit of construction being under-
taken with a contract value of
twice the amount of the allocation
to each county.
The Lancaster county commis-
sioners failed to match the su al-
located in this manner by the State
for the past several years. The
money, if matched by the county.
will be available for use in 2,688
miles of highways in this county.

Tobacco Growers
Held Meeting Here
A NUMBER OF WELL KNOWN
SPEAKERS MADE EXCELL-
ENT ADDRESSES ON
VERY INTERESTING

SUBJECTS
The Lancaster County Tobacco
Growers’ Association plan to hold
meetings at various points about the
county won its first reward Thurs-
day night when the attendance at
the first of a series of such meetings
at Mount Joy found the largest at-
tendance in many years of activity
of the association.
Speakers so held forth the advan-
tages of the organization that a
of growers who pre-
watched the
night became active
members.
Among speakers were: Prof, D. E.
Haley, State College; F. S. Bucher,
county agent; Lewis Creamer, pres-
ident of the organization; Otto OI-
sen, secretary, and Elmer Strickler,
Mount Joy.
For the first time in the years he
has been speaking to the growers
Prof. Haley absolutely declared that
night that carbonate of potash is
necessary in the leaf in order to
produce a good burning product. In
order to bring about that condition.
the speaker advised treating the soil
with sulphate of potash. Use of
museate of potash, he contended,
does not release the potash for the
growing plant.
Burning Quality Necessary
He explained that in speaking to
grower and buyer he found them in-|
terested not in yield or growth but
rather in burning quality and drew
from those observations that easy
burning quality was the demand in
