Legion "^iQlpop-ee" Minstrels — Feb. 1st — High School Gym. um VOLUME LVIII MANSFIELD, PENNSYLVANHL WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23. 1929 First Herd In 1927 Repeats In 1928 LEGION ••WH(M)PEE" MINSTRELS FEBRUARY FIRST TO BE A REAL SHOW (By P .P- Korb, County Agent) The Purebred Holstein herd of Roy S. Bowen, Wellsboro, Pa., which won state honor.s in held impi-ovemtnt work in 1927 with an average of 1.5,- 500 pound of milk and 409.9 pounds of butt^rfat, came back in 1928, making an average of 20,400 pounds of milk and 656.5 pounds of butterfat. So far as we know no record has ever been made which equals thi.s one. Three years ago Mr. Bowen con¬ sulted the writer regarding the pur¬ chase of a family of cows, consisting of a dam and five daughters, one of which was a calf. Knowing the his¬ tory of this family I advised Mr. Bowen to purchase this group for the handsome sum of $2,400, for which he gave his note. He headed home with this fine family of cows, with his head high, confident of victory with the equipment at hand to fight a good battle. Mr. Bowen and his wife, with all the courage and vigor of youth .start¬ ed tho next day to lay their plans for the future. The cows were given good farm care during the first winter the next season the old bam was re¬ modeled and a comfortable, practical dairy bam was the result. That fall the herd was placed in a eow testing association, with the results as pub¬ lished above. Mr. Bowen attended the dairy meet¬ ing at Harrisburg during the Farm Products Show, where he received a silver cup from the Holstcin-Friesinn Association of America for having the highest average production with Hol¬ stein cattle in association work. F^red by this encouragement Mr. Bowen re¬ turned home to his good wife, where another resolve was made, namely, to improve the past record by a sub¬ stantial margin and the record fer 1928 is the result. Gwennie Prilly Pontiac, 339371, who derives thirty per cent of her blo«d from King of the Pontiacs, the only double century sire, had previously made an A. R. S. O. rcsord in a small farm iierd, under—ffTtian Vfh'l> had never tested before, of 903.43 pounds of bntter and 20,228.4 pounds of milk in 305 days, can-ying twin calves 208 days. This grand old cow ha.s had eleven calves, seven of which were females, six of which are in Mr. Bow- en's herd. The five daughters in milk have produced an average of 21,381 pounds of milk and G817 pounds of butter fat during tho past year. Three of the daughters arc sired by Blacres Pershing Pontiac, 249099, who is a son of Cornucopia Ormsby Lad, 144370, the best son of O. K. L. The other two daughters are sired by Charlevoix Ormsby FMndeme King, 360987, who is a son of S. P. O. M. 40th and out of Kolrain Deane Find- eme, 291571, a daughter of the great sire, Findeme Pride Fayne. The sixth daughter, a calf, is sired by Meadow Holm Pontiac Pet, a proven son of Pet Concorde 2nd, 79453, with 23,682, pounds of milk and 1011 pounds of butter to her credit made at ten years of age. The individual records of production of the herd are as fol¬ lows: Wanda, 688421, 7 years old, 27,255 pounds milk, 946 pounds butterfat; Wilda, 688420, 7 years old, 21,255 pounds milk, 682.1 pounds butter fat; Winnie, 1027092, 3 years old, 22,879 pounds milk, 630.4 pounds butterfat; June, 907025, 4 years old, 19,210 pounds milk, 608 pounds butterfat; "Whoop-ee" ia the name .because it's one of the newly coined words for fun quality and for this reason the grain j ^^j f^^ ^^^ laughs a-plcnty you'll ia supplemented with a sm.-ill amount },ave when you attend this snappy r.t soaked beet puln. j Minstrel Show to be held in the high Whether this herd can pay for the school gymnasium Friday evening. feed and management may be an¬ swered in the following herd improve¬ ment summary for 1928: Average value of product per cow $468.26 Total cost of feed 183.99 Value of product above feed coat 284.27 Returns for one dollar ex¬ pended for feed 2.55 Feed cost per hundred pounds of milk 90 Feed cost per pound of but¬ terfat 28 Whether good cows pay or not or whether they are only "a rich man's hobby" may be answered by this lit¬ tle hill side farmer's experience which was predicted only by faith in good February 1. Be sure, however, that your nerves arc in good shape when you come, and it might be well to bring a lantern, for when the curtain goes up you may need both. We can't say more, or we'd be telling. However, we will say that this is to be the best minstrel show the Le¬ gion has ever put on and that's say¬ ing something. Preparations and re¬ hearsals have been going on for sev¬ eral weeks.

MANSFIELD HOSE COMPANY ELECTS NEW OFFICERS Prospects Are Bright For Mansfield Armory That a new State Armory for the housing of Mansfield's Ambulance Company and its equipment, will be Ar^"le"ne,""779205r 5"'yeare ow7'l6^34'8 built, while not an assured fact at pounds milk, 542 pounds butterfat;, t^^'^ ^i<-'"»' ^he prospects are look- above are daughters; Gwennie |'"^ """dually bright. On Wednesday 339371, dam, 12 years old, 15,964 pounds milk, 488.9 pounds butterfat; Elsie, 58G501, 7 years old, 17641 pounds milk, 585.2 pound butterfat; Sadie, 1083742, 9 years old, 14,231 pounds milk, 471. 7 pounds butterfat. Elsie and Sadie Vale were in the herd only nine months of the year. Wanda's production has probably never been equalled in her improve¬ ment work anywhere in the country. The present herd sire. Count Maxie Posh, 528229, is a son of the first prize show at New Yok State Fair, Count Komdyke Posh a, son of a 1100 pound cow. The dam, Sadie Butter Girl Maxie, 605338, has 1109.51 pounds of butter and 26,737.2 pound of milk as a four and a half year old. Mr. Bowen states that his biggest prob¬ lem is to get sires who.se daughters will advance the work of this great fasnily. The herd management in this herd Is only such as might be duplicated in any herd worthy of good care. The cows have been milked and fed three times daily, they are confned to av¬ erage cow stalls and waterer in drinking cups. The grain mixture is a good brand of twenty per cen* feed containing no cotton seed meal. The roughage has not been very high last Adjutant General Berry, Chair man of the Armory Board, and Ben¬ jamin W. Deming, Secretary of the Board, were in Mansfield to meet a committee from the Ambulance Com¬ pany and the Business Men's Associa¬ tion, in regard to this matter. The first thing to be Settled by this committee and their guests was a lo¬ cation for the armory building, should we be fortunate enough to secure it. This part of the trouble was soon provided for by the Smythe Park As¬ sociation coming forward and donat¬ ing a splendid plot of ground in the park that just filled the bill. It is the level spot between the cattle sheds and the commencement of the terrac¬ ing, and a better location could not be found as the building will attract the attention of all the travellers on the Susquehanna Trail and Roosevelt Highway. Everybody interested are loud in their praise of the generosity of the Smythe Park Association in do¬ nating this land. It shows conclus¬ ively that the members of this splen¬ did organization have the best inter¬ ests of Mansfield at heart. The visitors were highly pleased with the location donated for the ex¬ pected Armory, and promised to so report to the Powers That Be. The committee appointed from tho Ambulance Company and tho Business Men's Association, to meet with the visitors from Harrisburg were as fol¬ lows: Ambulance Company, Major John Doane, Captain Daniel S. Braz¬ da, Captain Robert Palmer; Commit¬ tee to select location: W. W. Allen, Edvrin S. Coles, Donald Hoard; Com¬ mittee from Business Men's Associa¬ tion, H. G. Peterson, president; J. A. Elliott, A. H. Vosburg, Dr. W. R. Straughn, and Harry A. Taylor, Com¬ mander of the Legion. These gentlemen entertained the visitors at a fine luncheon at the Smith Hotel. This expected Armory building will cost about $60,000, and will be built of brick and cement, steel construction, and tile roof. It's size will be about 60x120 feet. It will be two stories in front, with offices, cloak-rooms, etc. The drill floor will be about 60x90 feet. In the basement there will be shower baths, wash rooms, etc. The building, when finished, will be in charge of a joint committee from both the civic and military authorities and can be used for any large gather¬ ings held in the borough. A meeting of the Board of Directors of Smythe Park Association was held last evening, at which a resolution was formerly passed, giving the site for the armory and providing roads from the front and rear. Governor Fisher in his budget pre¬ sented to the State Legislature this week, includes $3,000,000 for military purposes. The following officers have been elected by the Mansfleld Hose Corn- many for the year 1929: President, Deyo Walker. Vice President, George Myers. Secretary, E. W. Shaw. Treasurer, C. T. Baldwin.

The game was rough, some one on the floor most of the time. Troy's team was about the same size as the Scouts and quite clever at handling the ball. The teams were so evenly matched that neither could run up a large score and the B. S. team won by one point, 8-9. Troy got the tip-off in the first few minutes of play and put in two bas¬ kets. Mansfield began to fight harder and dropped in a one shot and two fouls, when the half was over they were only one basket behind Troy. The score at this time stood 6 to 4. The second half was a lot rougher than the first and Mansfield began to try long shots and getting them off the bank-board. This brought two more baskets for them. At the third quarter Mansfleld was ahead 6 to 9 and Troy began to take long shots and got one, making the score stand 8-9, which lasted until the end. Troy had several chances to tie the score by shooting fouls, but could not. The line-up: Mansfield Field Foul Total Mudge, f 1 1 3 Johns, f 0 1 1 Oboume, c 2 1 5 Straughn, g 0 0 0 Rumsey, g 0 0 0 (By "ChetU" Bailey) Last Saturday night, at the high school gymnasium, the people of Mansfield and vicinity, and Towanda, had a very interesting time. Mans¬ field boys and girls overwhelmed To¬ wanda by these scores: Boys, 41-16; Girls, 46-16. The girls' game was fast and clean, everyone doing her part. The game started off like a whirlwind :< In the past Towanda has always had a good grirls' team and we thought that if Mansfield won from them it would be a miracle; but we did. The Towanda girls seemed bewildered at the start and Mansfield dropped in several baskets before they came to. But they came to, too late, and Mans¬ field continued to score. Shaw and Jerald, and Obourn, who came in at the last quarter, held theeir oppon- enth forwards down all through the game. Precit and Jupenlaz, with Frost, who was taken out on fouls in the first half, out-played and out- jumped their Towanda centers and got the ball to Belknap and Smith, who slipped around their guards and shot basket after basket in an easy fash''on. j Whittaker was substituted for Smith in the last quarter. | Line-up for Mansfield, Smith, for¬ ward, 34 points; Belknap, 12; Centers, FVost, Precit; side center, Precit, Jup¬ enlaz; guards, Shaw, Jerald Oboume. The boys' game started off with lots of pep, Mansfield getting the first baskets and holding the lead all through the game. At the half they had got a pretty good start and led by 16 to 10. Brown made 7 field goals and Marsh one. Towanda had three field goals at the half. A drill WM given by some high school students, forming a "T" for Towanda and an "M" for Mansfield, which was a great Success and looked good to the visitors. The teams came back on the floor and Mansfield continued its march to victory. Towanda stopping at 16 as the girls did, and our boys lacking five ; points of tying the score that the girls made. Brown at the end of the game had made 23 points for his team. Marsh made 8 points and Nares 8 points. Chamberlain was having a streak of bad luck and couldn't make the ball stay in the bottom of the basket. Bes¬ anceney, who is a guard, dropped in one of Nare's long shots that cer¬ tainly gave the team some more spirit.

The Hi-Light staff gave a dance and it looked to us to be a great success. The student body, Es¬ pecially the girls, in their colorful costumes, sitting under tlwe bright lights in front o^ the stage, presented a very pretty picture to those who sat in the balcony, looking almost like a l^autiful stage setting. The crowd wa.s perhaps the largest we have had and we know they all enjoyed and ap¬ preciated our efforts to please them. Craumer, of Coming, refereed.

The Canoe Camp Church is not a strong organization as far as members go, but the above named class is sure a power, both in numbers, ambition and ways and means toward making things snappy around the old church. Last Wednesday ^evening this class met in the church parlors to the num¬ ber of about fifty, to celebrate their ninth anniversary. Among the guests present from out of town were Rev¬ erend and Mrs. L. M. Sparks, of Al¬ ba. Mr. Sparks was a former pastor of the Canoe Camp Church, and is still very popular vrith his former con- grregation. He gave a very good talk, conglatulating the class on its stick- to-it-iveness, (perserverance), which, he said, always brings success in ev- ery jjjjiWrlirtSfr A number of others also ^V little talks which were ia- tersting. V, A regular banquet was served later in the evening, with a three-story cake, which was made in honor of the ninth anniversary of the class. Every¬ body present had to have a piece of this cake, which was made at the Mansfield Bakery and tasked lige "the cake that mother used to bake. At the business meeting the fol¬ lowing officers were elected for the eensuing year: President, Ross Smith Vice President, Franklin Bixby. Secretary, Mrs. Carl Wilcox. Treasurer, Mrs. Jesse Inscho.

The Spanish Revelers LAST SALE OF $1.00 HATS NOW AT ROCKWELL'S Good values in velvet and felt hats in large head sizes. Also children's felt hats. 12tl The demand of the times has brought forth the production of a new group of players and singers in the Spanish Revelers. Never before in the history of our country has there been such a constant and growing tendency toward good music; never has there been such a widespread recognition and apprecia¬ tion of genuine musicianship. The members of this group of young musicians making up the Span¬ ish Revelers realize the influence of good music upon themselves and theeir own generation. They do not claim to be Kreislers or Paganinnis or Elmans, but they do claim to know the type of music that will make the most popular appeal. Into the inter¬ pretation of this music they put all their native ability, years of training and youthful ardor. There is an individuality of char¬ acter about the program of the Span¬ ish Revelers that finds its way into the heart of every listener. Costumed in the dress of a wonder¬ ing ministrelsy, with tinkling ceins and gaudy colors, they sing alluring songs of the open road, the flickering' fires of vagrant camps, twinkling stars and velvet shadows of the night. The clash of the tambourine, the snap of the castanets, tinkling gui¬ tars and plaintive violins, combined with the beauty of fresh young voices, make this program one of notable charm.

So far as we know no record has ever been made which equals thi.s one.
Three years ago Mr. Bowen con¬ sulted the writer regarding the pur¬ chase of a family of cows, consisting of a dam and five daughters, one of which was a calf. Knowing the his¬ tory of this family I advised Mr. Bowen to purchase this group for the handsome sum of $2,400, for which he gave his note. He headed home with this fine family of cows, with his head high, confident of victory with the equipment at hand to fight a good battle.
Mr. Bowen and his wife, with all the courage and vigor of youth .start¬ ed tho next day to lay their plans for the future. The cows were given good farm care during the first winter the next season the old bam was re¬ modeled and a comfortable, practical dairy bam was the result. That fall the herd was placed in a eow testing association, with the results as pub¬ lished above.
Mr. Bowen attended the dairy meet¬ ing at Harrisburg during the Farm Products Show, where he received a silver cup from the Holstcin-Friesinn Association of America for having the highest average production with Hol¬ stein cattle in association work. F^red by this encouragement Mr. Bowen re¬ turned home to his good wife, where another resolve was made, namely, to improve the past record by a sub¬ stantial margin and the record fer 1928 is the result.
Gwennie Prilly Pontiac, 339371, who derives thirty per cent of her blo«d from King of the Pontiacs, the only double century sire, had previously made an A. R. S. O. rcsord in a small farm iierd, under—ffTtian Vfh'l> had never tested before, of 903.43 pounds of bntter and 20,228.4 pounds of milk in 305 days, can-ying twin calves 208 days. This grand old cow ha.s had eleven calves, seven of which were females, six of which are in Mr. Bow- en's herd. The five daughters in milk have produced an average of 21,381 pounds of milk and G817 pounds of butter fat during tho past year.
Three of the daughters arc sired by Blacres Pershing Pontiac, 249099, who is a son of Cornucopia Ormsby Lad, 144370, the best son of O. K. L. The other two daughters are sired by Charlevoix Ormsby FMndeme King, 360987, who is a son of S. P. O. M. 40th and out of Kolrain Deane Find- eme, 291571, a daughter of the great sire, Findeme Pride Fayne. The sixth daughter, a calf, is sired by Meadow Holm Pontiac Pet, a proven son of Pet Concorde 2nd, 79453, with 23,682, pounds of milk and 1011 pounds of butter to her credit made at ten years of age. The individual records of production of the herd are as fol¬ lows:
Wanda, 688421, 7 years old, 27,255 pounds milk, 946 pounds butterfat; Wilda, 688420, 7 years old, 21,255 pounds milk, 682.1 pounds butter fat; Winnie, 1027092, 3 years old, 22,879 pounds milk, 630.4 pounds butterfat; June, 907025, 4 years old, 19,210 pounds milk, 608 pounds butterfat;

last Adjutant General Berry, Chair man of the Armory Board, and Ben¬ jamin W. Deming, Secretary of the Board, were in Mansfield to meet a committee from the Ambulance Com¬ pany and the Business Men's Associa¬ tion, in regard to this matter.
The first thing to be Settled by this committee and their guests was a lo¬ cation for the armory building, should we be fortunate enough to secure it. This part of the trouble was soon provided for by the Smythe Park As¬ sociation coming forward and donat¬ ing a splendid plot of ground in the park that just filled the bill. It is the level spot between the cattle sheds and the commencement of the terrac¬ ing, and a better location could not be found as the building will attract the attention of all the travellers on the Susquehanna Trail and Roosevelt Highway. Everybody interested are loud in their praise of the generosity of the Smythe Park Association in do¬ nating this land. It shows conclus¬ ively that the members of this splen¬ did organization have the best inter¬ ests of Mansfield at heart.
The visitors were highly pleased with the location donated for the ex¬ pected Armory, and promised to so report to the Powers That Be.
The committee appointed from tho
Ambulance Company and tho Business Men's Association, to meet with the visitors from Harrisburg were as fol¬ lows: Ambulance Company, Major John Doane, Captain Daniel S. Braz¬ da, Captain Robert Palmer; Commit¬ tee to select location: W. W. Allen, Edvrin S. Coles, Donald Hoard; Com¬ mittee from Business Men's Associa¬ tion, H. G. Peterson, president; J. A. Elliott, A. H. Vosburg, Dr. W. R. Straughn, and Harry A. Taylor, Com¬ mander of the Legion.
These gentlemen entertained the visitors at a fine luncheon at the Smith Hotel.
This expected Armory building will cost about $60,000, and will be built of brick and cement, steel construction, and tile roof. It's size will be about 60x120 feet. It will be two stories in front, with offices, cloak-rooms, etc. The drill floor will be about 60x90 feet. In the basement there will be shower baths, wash rooms, etc.
The building, when finished, will be in charge of a joint committee from both the civic and military authorities and can be used for any large gather¬ ings held in the borough.
A meeting of the Board of Directors of Smythe Park Association was held last evening, at which a resolution was formerly passed, giving the site for the armory and providing roads from the front and rear.
