INTERESTING THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN
TOWN AND VICINITY.
I t e m s of Minor Mention, So to Speak
but of Interest to t h e A v e r a g e Reader
at Home and Abroad.
A year ago influenza was raging m
Lititz.
Mr. Henry B. Bach i s ' 8 4 years old
t o d a y .
Hallowe'en will occur on Friday, Oct.

lively time in town.

to London, England. A special case, to

the twists. A Lancaster man placed

. A number of automobilists have beëff
fined recently l'or running thru town
with the cutout open. Automobilists
have been given plenty of grace and
warning but^some drivers have been
violating thé borough ordinance in
sheer defiance.
The Golden Eagle Castle of this
place is making preparations to send a
good sized delegation and candidates
to the boom session at Lancaster on
Nov. 8. Three degree will be given in
the Malta Temple with candidates from
all over the county.
Rev. H. S. Sonon, of Bird-in-Hand,
celebrated his seventy-second birthday
l a s t Thursday at the home of his
daughter Mrs. William Reidenbach
on Spruce street. A special' supper
was prepared for the occasion. Mr.
H a r r y Reidenbach and wife joined t he
f a m i l y circle.
An unusual article to be offered at
the public sale of Henry R. G-ibbel on
Saturday, November 1, is an ox yoke.
It is in good condition. Mr. Gibbel
purchased it twenty-eight years ago
at the sale of the late Reuben Erb,
f a t h e r of Thomas Erb, living south-west
of Lititz. Evidently the yoke is
very old.
W. Birney Oehme, the East Main
Street barber, was -fifty-six years old
yesterday. Birney in his young days

player and the fleetest runner around
here. He won a number of running

says lie doesn't have the wind he used
to have.

eel. It weighed nine and three-fourths
pounds, was ten inches in circumfer-ence
and forty-six inches long. It was
exhibited in Lancaster. The capture
was made by a diver who descended
into one of the turbine wheel pits to
lay cement. The eel was unable to
escape from the basin, but neverthe-less
was difficult to capture.
—Leaman & Leed will have good
Sweet cider for Hallowe'en trade.
Lititz Needs More Homes
There is a shortage of homes in Lititz. Real estate men who
know conditions state t h a t t h e r e is a demand here for t h i r t y addi-tional
homes. Progressive men of t h e town are much concerned
about the situation and t h i n k t h a t t h e time is here to get together
and outline some plan to build homes. If the town is to grow
bigger and more prosperous there must be more homes. The sit-uation
m-ust be remedied before April 1 or there will be families
moving away. By s u p p l y i n g homes everyone will benefit—the
m a n u f a c t u r i n g establishments, t h e business man, t h e private man
and the community at large. Manufacturers need more help but
there is little chance of a t t r a c t i n g workers here without housing
facilities,
Not only must t h e present needs be taken into consideration
but the future growth as well. A new k n i t t i n g mill and a new
candy factory will need help, and lately new cigar factories have
been established here. Lititz within t h e past several months has
lost two opportunities to secure silk mills. The argument has
been advanced that Tititz does not need new industries—that there
are not enough employees for t h e industries already here. Lititz
will s t a y at a standstill if t h a t policy is followed. The idea is to
a t t r a c t workers here. The chocolate factory at Elizabethtown is
going to employ 400 more persons. There a r e n ' t that many avail-able
persons in thcrt: town at t h e present time but inducements will
be offered to attract them there f r om other places. The tide of
prosperity is coming. Lititz will have to float along with t h e tide
or s t a y h i g h and dry.
Other places are up against the same proposition. In one
town in t h e s t a t e business men have organized to build houses.
These are to be offered at cost to tenants who will pay for them
t h e same as if they were p a y i n g rent. Business men of Elizabeth-town
have organized and are r a i s i n g capital to b u i l d ' h o m e s . By
p u t t i n g up f i f ty homes at one t i m e the cost will be about $2000 a
home. They will sell t h e homes at cost or rent them. With the
money coming in additional homes will be built. The question is
what is Lititz going to do ? We know that there are men here
who see t h e situation clearly and it is a matter of g e t t i n g together
in a body. Then there will be action.
VTOEK STARTE» ON NEW GARAGE
AT LITITZ
Located on South Broad Street—Will
Make Fine Appearance
H. D. Lehman of Manheim will erect
a handsome and modern garage at the
corner of South Broad and Marion
streets in this borough. By a recent
Teal estate-tra-Bfsa-efeieii Mr. Lehman ac-quired
the lot, together with the ad-joining
two and a half story brick
house, from Rev. Henry R. Gibbel.
Work was started Monday morning by
Thomas Steffy and force of men in
putting down concrete foundation
walls. Cement blocks will be used for
the walls. The garage will be 14% by
60% feet. It will have a fine front
almost entirely of glass and will be
ong story high. The entrance will be
on Marion street. The place will be
equipped with modern machinery for
repair work and Mr. Lehman will also
sell cars. The consideration for the
house and lot was $5,750. 4
Turn Back the Clocks Sunday, Oct. 26
Sunday, October'26, at 2 a. m., will
mark the end of the summer daylight
saving period, when all clocks will be
turned back one hour.
As the law has been repealed there
will he no future recurrence of time
change, unless "other legislation to that
effect is enacted.-
In turning back the clock don't do it
literally with a striking clock. That
will mean the bending of a little catch
spring in the mechanism. It will cause
the clock to strike wrong and it will
mean a trip to the jeweler for repairs.
A clock, watches are in the same
class, which does not strike, can be
turned back (moving the hour hand
back) without injury.
Naturally some persons will forget
about the time change and get up an
hour earlier on Monday.
REAL ESTATE
The property of Theodore Zellers
on East Main street, was sold to
Harry Erb thru the real estate
agencies o'f J. Fred Essig and Her-shey

given April 1. Mr. Erb resides near
Erb's meeting house, west of town The
price was $4,700.
• Benjamin F. Grosh bought a lot of
ground fronting 112 feet along the
Lititz and Rothsviile turnpike - f r om
Jason Groff and adjoining Mr. Grosh's
present property. It is Mr. Grosh's
intention to build a house in the
spring.
Frank A. Masser sold at private sale
the property at 55 N. Broad Street to

STATE COLLEGE
Frank Leaman Elected Secretary—
Other Lititz Boys Are ,51 embers
State College, Pa., Oct. 15.—Last eve-ning
the first meeting of the Lancaster
Club was held, at which time the club
was reorganized for the present col-lege
year The organization is com-posed
of students from Lancaster city
an<| county and has for its purpose
that each of its members shall meet
those from their own part of the state
and that others may hear of Penn State
and its activities. A banquet, popular-ly
known as a "feed," is held every
year by the club. The photograph of
the Lancaster Club will appear in the
book of the Junior class, The "La Vie."
Frank Leaman was elected secre-tary.
Among the forty present at the
meeting were these from Lititz and
vicinity: Martin Muth, Samuel Shenk,
Albert 0. Bruckart, Frank Longeneck-er,
Frank Miller, Ira Landis, Jacob
Garber, Charles Kreiter and Royden
Swift, the latter now of Lancaster.
SUGAR Sil OUTAGE HERE
Not a l'ound to Be Had in Some Stores
Supply iii Other Stores is Being
Reduced Fast
The local grocery stores are rapidly
exhausting their supplies. New sup-piles
are arriving here in considerably
smaller bulks than is b.eing sold. Two
stores are completely sold out. Pfautz
Brothers think they will have enough
for next week if given out in pound
allowances. Leaman & Leed's supply
is.rapidly going down and will not last
long beyond this week. They are sell-ing
in two pound lots. The supply at
Zartman's store will not last much
longer than for this week. All the
stores that have sugar are selling on
allowance and only to persons whom
they know. ~
•Conditions may look more favorable
by next week. One thing is certain,
however, people will ha-v'e to cut down
in the supjily of sugar-' for the remain-der
of the year, as the United States
has been on a veritable "sugar spree."
In spite of a world shortage of nearly
2,000,000 tons in the world production,
as compared to normal, the American
people have been supplied with one-quarter
of the world's sugar produc-tion
and one-half of the world's ex-portable
surplus, while all the rest of
the world, including our former allies,
France, England and Italy, are all on
short rations clamoring for sugar."
Defeated Candidate of Elizabeth Will
Run Ag-ain
Harrison Shissler of Elizabeth Town-ship
will run as an independent candi-date
for assessor at the general elec-tion
on Tuesday, Nov. 4. He was de-feated
by Monroe Shreiner on the Re-publican
primary ticket by seven
votes. Mr. Shissler claims he would
have been victorious hut for a misun-derstanding
in registration of some
voters which, kept them from voting.
He served as assessor in that township
for a number of years. The contest
for the office is creating considerable
interest.

Grew Egyptian Cotton
Howard Evans had a stalk of Egyp-tian
cotton growing in his yard on
East Main Street. Many persons have
grown the common variety of southern
cotton here but it is doubtful if the
Egyptian variety was ever grown in
this county before. It was sent to
Howard through his brother Raymond
when he was in the service Tn Texas.
The stalk was small and well dried
when it reached here, but it made good
progress when it was planted. It had
numerous pods of cotton that were
about ready to open ..when ..the . f r o s t
killed it. "When it bloomed a pretty
white flower was formed. The flower
stayed white for a day. The next day
it turned yellow and third day it
changed to lavender and dropped off.
Egyptian cotton is used in manufactur-ing
the best textile goods and is used
in cord tires. It is very expensive. It
is only lately that it has been grown
with success in the United States.
Was a Cavalryman
Aldus Hackman, who was in the
cavalry service in Texas for twenty-two
months, returned home Saturday,
having been honorably discharged. He
did border patrol duty and exchange
of shots with Mexican outlaws, he
said, was not unusual. He was with
the cavalry squad that went into Mexi-co
for five days. The meals were very
irregular on that occasion, he relates.
One of the scouting parties discovered
a band of outlaws ahead of them that
outnumbered them two to one, yet the
Mexicans did not attack. They-took a
number of Mexicans prisoners whom
were believed to favor the outlaws.
Later they were released.
Hackman received a medal as a pis-tol
expert. He has learned to ride
horseback about every way possible.
He was taught to stand on his horse at
full gallop, or to stand astride two
horses. When a man falls off his mount
little sympathy is wasted on him. Al-dus
is looking fine.
Three Brookmyer Sisters are Nurses

MR. A N D MRS. EDWIN STURGIS
Mrs. Sturgis received congratulatins
by person and by letters and post-cards.
Mr. and Mrs. Sturgis are old Lititz-ites
in the truest sense of the word.
Mr. Sturgis was 76 years old on Oct. 1.
He was born here and has been a resi-dent
here all his life, with the excep-tion
of a little over two years when he
served in the union army. He has
been connected with the Moravian
church since his youth. Mrs. Sturgis,
whose maiden name was Kissinger,
was born at Lexington, but at" the age
of nine moved to Lititz with her par-ents.
Like her husband she has been
a member of the Moravian church for
many years.
Mr. a'nd Mrs. Sturgis were made
man and wife on Oct. 21, 1869. The
ceremony was held in the Lititz Mora-vian
Church, Rev, Edwin Kluge offici-ating.
According to the old custom
this was followed by passing cake and
wine to the guests. The couple had
LITITZ HUNTERS SHOT SQUIKKELS
Only One Gunner Who Returned With
the l i m it
The season for quail, pheasants and
squirrels opened on Monday.
Open season now include those for
the killing of blackbirds, raccoons,
rails, pack or wilson snipes, woodcock,
and wild ducks and geese. The.season
closes for blackbirds on November 30.
This date also applies to the closing of
the season for rails, snipe and wood-cock.
i. Raccoons can he killed until De-cember
31.
The open season for rabbits is
scheduled to come in on November 1,
and will attract hundreds of gunners
f r om this section to the fields. The
closing day is December 15. Of rab-bits,
the bag is limited to six in one
day or forty in one season. The use
of all kinds of traps are forbidden in
hunting for rabbits with the exception
that residents under fourteen years of
age may use box traps on lands where-on
they reside.
Nearly 325,000 hunting licenses have
been issued in the state this year, ac-cording
to State Game Commission of-ficials
and the record of 311,000 made
last year will be broken. A number
of Lititz gunners had success this
week. Those who were out in the
woods report that there is a scarcity
of food for squirrels. Nuts are scarce
and there is even a shortage in acorns.
Many squirrels are living on corn and
it looks like a hard winter for them.
Dr. C. E. Lane and Druggist L. N.
Moyer got one squirrel. Each tells a
joke on the other. After tramping
around in the mountains all day and
much discouraged, having not seen a
tail, the druggist unloaded his gun iii
preparation to returning home. Then
it was that he saw a big gray squirrel
running across the road only a short
distance away. By the time he had
thjown in a shell the cunning little
animal disappeared. Dr. Lane also^ had
a close escape from coming home
empty handed. Near the end of the
day he was spying up into a tree
when a slight noise behind him caused
him to look on the ground. There was
a squirrel that evidently wanted to
commit suicide. It was trying to look
in the doctor's gun barrel and was so
close that he had to wait until it moved
