INTERESTING THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN
TOWN AND VICINITY.
RABBIT SEASON OPENS NOY. 1
Few Gunners Out for Quail and Squir-rel
This Week
While the season for squirrel, wood-cock
and quail began on Monday the
real hunting will no doubt be post-poned
until the first of next month,
when the rabbit season opens. Rab-bits
are the biggest attraction for the
hunters in this -locality, and hunters
who have made early visits to the
woods report that they find more rab-bits
than at any time at this season.
Last winter the animals worked much
damage to young orchard trees in
many localities. This season has been
the best for years for the breeding of
game of all kinds, and there were very
few severe storms to injure the young
at any time. Rabbits of the second
breeding of the season are plentiful
and maturing rapidly. The season for
rabbits will start Friday, Nov. I, and
continue until Tuesday, Dec. 31.

from being out. The fact that this was
the first Sunday for several weeks that
it was permissable fsr the operation of
machines, owners were anxious to be
out.

UNIQUE PATRIOTIC BEE HELD
A Penn Township Farmer Given a
Dose lie Didn't Appreciate.
A patrotic bee was held in protest
against those who refused to buy Lib-erty
bonds on Saturday evening, when
fifteen automobiles containing eighty
residents of Manheim and surroundir g
country, visited the home of Rev. Joseph
Boll, of White Oak, with whom resides
his son, Rev. John Boli, both Mennonite
preachers. The men had refused to buy
Liberty bonds of any issue, and had been
under the public eye for a long time.
Several of the party,headed by a sailor
of the United States Navy, who happen-ed
to be home on shore leave, left their
machines and knocked on the door of the
house. One of the women of the house-hold
accosted the party and either of the
Revs, Boll were asked for. An evasive
answer was given the visitors and the
sailor then asked that the household pur-chase
Liberty Bonds of the Fourth issue.
As soon as the bonds were mentioned the
door hastily swung shut in the faces of
the party outside.
The abrupt dismissal of the party was
the one for immediate action. From
every machine sprung men armed with
brushes and backets of red and white
paint. Within fifteen minutes the word
"SLACKER" was painted all over the
Boil house and barn, some of the words
being in letters two feet high and cor-respondingly
broad. The porches, screen
doors^ sidewalks, outbuildings, in fact,
everything that could bear a stroke of
paint was decorated. It is stated that
the word "SLACKER" now appears on
the premises at least two hundred times,
the white paint showing up particularly
conspicuous on the red background of the
building. In addition to the artistry
American flags were placed on the top
of the house and the barn, with the in-junction
that they should not be removed.

new cases developing daily in this local-ity,
but all in all not as many deaths.

weeks ago. However, we are glad to
say that the classes were resumed on

and good nursing'. Those who

over their illness were Mrs. Sarah
Jenkins, Miss Anna K. Brubaker, Mrs.
F. W. Stengel, the principal's wife, and
Mrs. Rhoads. Everybody* connected
with the school is glad and happy:
Bog Cholera East of Uliiz
Hog cholera is prevalent around
Brownstown, Earlville, Millport, and
Kissel Hill. Owners of some large
herds have lost heavily, and at the
high prices being realized at present
for hogs, have suffered big financial
losses. Veterinarians Bender have
vaccinated hundreds of hogs since the
outbreak of the disease and have been
very successful where the disease was
not of long standing. They urge own-ers
to have the pigs vaccinated as soon
as the first symptoms are seen in the
herd, as when the malady has gained
headway it is bard to check and a big
percentage of loss will occur. Vacci-nation
is a preventative and not a cure.
Two of Our Physicians Called Into
Service s
D r s . M. H. Yocler and S. R. Posey,
who enlisted in the II. S. medical corps

here at home these days, they will ask
the government for an extension of

granted. Dr. Posey is to report at
Camp Crane, Allentown, and Dr. Yoder

Tonsorial Artist Slugs Patriotic Selec-tion
While Patron Plays Piano
"Tommy'' Adams' barber shop in the
second ward is quite likely the only
one In the county that can boast of
having a piano and a singing barber.
Friday evening one of the patrons, a
pianist, dropped in for a shave, sat
down at the piano and asked Barber
Hiram Reedy to sing a patriotic selec-tion
while he accompanied him on the
instrument. It was a treat for those
in the shop and at the conclusion there
was hearty applause.
Smells Loud But Doesn't Kill Germs
Lititz is a sweet scented place. Up
to this time it is estimated that five
hundred persons are wearing little
bags around their necks containing
camphor and asafoetida. Scientific
facts show that this old method used
to guard against disease is absolutely
worthless and does not have the least
effect upon germs. The scent is strong,
but germs are not killed by it—in fact
they will breed in this concoction.
Camphor is scarce, as most of it is im-ported.
and the only way some drug-gists
will sell it is when used for mak-ing
camphorated oil. The old usage,
in combination with asafoetida, is con-sidered
a waste of a precious drug and
relic of the dark ages. It is science
against tradition.
Slight Fire
A fire alarm went out last Saturday
afternoon caused by the burning of
the shingle roof on a small house in
rear of C. W. Souder's residence, cor-ner
Orange and Spruce streets, occu-pied
by'Clarence Lesher and family.
By prompt service of the fire company
the fire was subdued before doing
much damage to tlie interior. Just
how it started no one seems to know
for a certainty, as the family had no
fire in the house stove after the morn-ing
hours. The property is insured in
the Lancatser County Fire Insurance
Company and a ' s l a t e roof has been
replaced.
LITITZ GOES OVER THE TOP
The Borough Goes Beyond Its Quota in
Subscribing for Liberty Bonds
For the fourth time Lititz borough
goes over the top in its Fourty Liberty
Bond subscriptions. On account of
the prevalence of influenza it was
feared the borough could not raise its
quota, amounting to $189,100. but all
credit is due to those who attended the
meeting held for this purpose in the
Young Men's Business League home
last Friday evening. The speakers
present to boost the subscriptions
seemed to arouse the patriotism more
than ever. These speakers were Prof.
H. M. J. Klein and T. Roberts Appel of
Lancaster. Every word they uttered
evidently had weight. Mr. Appel made
the final appeal, saying Lititz always
did its duty and he asked that the
thirty men present should subscribe
$100,000. Mr. Appel was more than
surprised when the roll was called and
that his appeal worked like a charm.
When all was summed up the hand-some
sum of $111,200 had been sub-scribed
for, which together with prev-ious
subscriptions amounted to $220,-
400, or $31,300 more than its quota.
Who would have thought that it could
be done?
There's nothing slow about Lititz.
Warwick township's quota was $218.-
200. Thus far it has not been nearly
subscribed but Chairman J. C. Bru-baker
reports that on account of the
many people being ill the canvas is
not yet finished.
The Farmers National Bank sub-scribed
its full quota, amounting to
$139,000. The Springs Bank's quota
was $1?0,400, and was also fully sub-scribed
for.
Lancaster county's quota $12,533,160.
it was oversubscribed to tlie extent of
at least $200,000.
Honor flags for Lancaster and num-erous
boroughs and townships will
now be forthcoming.
