Chocolate Factory shutting down on
account of sugar shortage. A car-load
of sugar was received recently
and there are good prospects for the
future supply
Mfs. Florence Ebetly and Edwin
Hall, executors of the late Emanuel
Hall, sold a frame house and lot

at public sale to Ember Witmer, of
Lititz, for $1,920.
Elmer Keller had the forefinger of

Samuel Weaver, who supervised
the packing for a number of farmers
around here last year, reports the
sale of S. F. Brubaker's tobacco at
26% cents a pound. Mr. Weaver re-fused
an offer of 27 cents a pound for 400
cases. One farmer made over $1000
by having his tobacco packed instead
of selling outright last year.
N. B. Leaman received a paper
from Halifax, Virginia, showing that
tobacco prices broke all previous re-cords
in that state. The- best price
received was SI.0753 a pound. It
stated that the raisers were wild and
pocketbooks were bursting. Mr. Lea-man
owns over a hundred acres of
land in the tobacco growing belt.
Tobacco is sold there on the sales floor
plan.
RUSHED WIRE HERE FROM
ONEIDA, N. Y., BY TRUCK
Shortage in Wire at Local Trap Fac-tory
Caused by Steel Strike.
In order to relieve the wire short-age
at the Oneida Trap Factory here
and keep the industry running it was
necessary to bring wire to Lititz from
Oneida, N. Y., by truck last week.
Wire was needed in a hurry and a
truck left that place on Tuesday of
last week at 3 o'clock in the after-noon,
carrying a ton load, and ar-rived
here last Thursday afternoon
shortly after three o'clock, covering
a distance of 3i>0 miles. The roads
were in bad condition.
Mr. Jones, the superintendent of
the local plant, said there is no change
in condition here regarding wire, as
the mills supplying the factory were
still subject to strike conditions.
Every effort will be made to keep
the factory running here. There is
more demand for traps than at any
time in the history of the business.
Big business had been anticipated
after the .war but nothing like the
present demand. The factory is
working day and nig-ht, with two
shifts of men.
GOVERNMENT FOOD SALE
SUCCESS.
—Buy your boy a bicycle at Scott's
.Bookstore for Christmas.
Local Hunters Shot Foxes.
John, son of Benjamin Lutz shot a
red fox at Kellers mountain on Satur-day.
It was a large animal and the
hide will be prepared for selling. It
is worth about $13.
Homer Sturgis, Lewis Haines and
Howard Bollinger spent Saturday
hunting in York County. They re-turned
with twenty-five rabbits and
two live 'possoms. One of the ani-mals
escaped and is at large in the
Spring grounds. Haines shot at a
fox, but only crippled it. Jim Spen-cer,
who served as guide for the
Lititz party, finally killed the fox and
skinned it for the hide.
Correll Sturgis started trapping
and the first morning caught a 'pos-som
and a skunk.
S.
Butchering Has Started.
Pig slaughtering in the Second
Ward has begun. There is much in-terest
shown' in pig raising in that
part of the borough. Whose hogs
make the best gains, the cost of feed-ing-
and the final weights is always
a matter of much interest. Charles
and John Peiffer started off with
butchering this week. John killed
one weighing 273 pounds and Charles'
grunter fell a little below, at 247.
The Peiffer brothers are now eating
fresh sausage and pudding and the
many other good things made out of
a porker.
Happy Birthdays.
Miss Grace Keller passed another
birthday milestone on Sunday. Grace
has been a Bell Telephone operator
for thirty-four years.
Mr. Horace L. Eschbach, of Dav-enport,
N. D., observed his birthday
on the same day. No doubt Mr.
Eschbach's thoughts turned to old
Lititz on that day.
Sale Conducted at Fire House,
Broad Street.
Contributed to the "Record."
The sale opened with a rush and
was a busy affair until all the food
was disposed of, but a few cans of
bacon. In order to put over a pro-ject
of this kind someone must be-come
interested and interest others.
This was the case with our progres-sive
Postmaster James J. Huebener.
Feeling that the citizens of Lititz and
its vicinity should share in the Gov-ernments
sale of food more liberally,
he called the members of Town
Council together and explained the
need of finances to procure a carload
of food. The members of Council,
Messrs. H. H. Bomberger, J. H.
Bomberger, Dr. S. R. Posey, M. G.
Fredrick and Ii. J. Pierson who have
demonstrated in the past their spirit
of progressiveness agreed to float a
loan as individuals to finance the
project. Upon the arrival of the
car the citizens demonstrated their
public spiritness by unloading the
car without numeration. The auto used
in unloading was furnished at Mr.
H. J. Pierson's expense.
It was a sight of,smore than little
significance to see Hbe merchants ox
our town who would indirectly feel
the results of the sale, enroll with
the other volunteers and give the
sale a boost by giving their personal
services.
It will be impossible to make men-tion
of each one who helped to make
the sale a success, as everybody help-ed,
financiers, bankers, merchants,
clerks and laborers alike, and to them
each individual who profited by the
sale is indebted.
There is a probability that another
car of food will be procured in the
near future.
Gunners Acted Like Bolshevists.
Many local hunters when told
about the destructiveness of some
hunters and the lack of appreciation
shown to the farmer are inclined to
think these stories are myths or hap-pen
very rarely. Perhaps the ma-jority
of the sportsmen are careful
but there are always some who abuse
their privileges and spoil it for the
rest. At Edwin Longenecker's farm
last week eight chickens were shot.
Close by at the farm of Andrew
Longenecker a large railpile near the
barn was scattered around and after
the gunners had stirred out the rab-bit
they walked away leaving the
work of piling it up again to the far-mer.
These gunners hailed from
Lititz. At Line Rock a gunner shot
so near a house that a shot' tore a
hole in a woman's dress and left a
mark on her body. Fortunately it
was not serious as her clothing saved
her. Nevertheless she' was badly
scared. The Longenecker brothers
and other farmers in that section
did not bill their farms but now since
these things have happened they
say they may change their minds
next year in regard to trespassing.
Can you blame them ?
i &
Model Linotype
The "Record" has lately installed
a Mergenthaler Linotype machine
and is now in full operation. The
body type in this issue has been set
on the new machine. The machine
came direct from the New York fact-ory.
While* the linotype has been in
use for a number of years there has
port of this community in the future
as we have in the past, as long as we
continue to do our duty, or in other
words produce the goods.
Alfred B. Bedell, a representative
of the factory, set up the machine
last week. It is an intriquite piece
of machinery, comprising a thousand
Model 8 Linotype Machins Installed in " R e c o r d " O f f i ce
been a steady improvement and the
machine at the "Record" office, a
Model 8, is one of the later models.
Naturally we feel proud of a ma-chine
of this kind and it is a credit
to any town to be represented by a
paper that is well equipped and in
this way be in a position to better re-present
the interest • of the town and
community. We are confident that
we will continue to receive the sup-and
more parts, but the machinist
had it in working order in fifteen
hours. Mr. Bedell served as an avia-tor
during the war, had two bad falls
and lost the sight of one eye.
The machinee is being operated by
W. Willis Rader, one of the "Record"
firm members, who had previous ex-perience,
and lately spent some time
in New York studying the new im-provements.

Thanksgiving Day Afternoon.
The High School Boys' Basket Bali
Team will open their season of sport
on Thanksgiving Day afternoon at
2.30 o'clock when they will have St.
Paul's "Jolly Five" of Columbia, as
their opponents. Columbia is send-ing
a fast and heavy bunch of play-ers
against Lititz High Quintette,
who although light and inexperienc-ed,
are certain they can give any
county team a good fight for honors.
Practice has been regular during
the past weeks and Coach "Jerry"
Stark, who will again have charge of
the boys, is sure to have as fast a
team as he is accustomed to having.
Although the varsity team has not
yet been selected a goodly number
of boys have shown up well in prac-tice,
among them, being Bachman,
Dussinger, N. Hershey, A. Hershey,
Helter, Fassnacht and Reedy.
As has been the custom heretofore,
season tickets will be on sale, entit-ling
the holder to witness ten games
on the home floor, for the price of
$1.00. They will be on sale the latter
part of this week and can be pro-cured
from memberes of the Athletic
Association.
The High School has always ap-preciated
the hearty support of the
townspeople and will endeavor this
year to please the public as in the
past. Your presence and hearty co-operation
at all the games is kindly
solicited. Come and cheer for the
boys of Lititz High.

RED CROSS
The solicitors in the membership
drive have met with most satisfac-tory
results. A complete statement
of which will be published later.
Membership fees and contributions
are still coming in and no doubt will
continue to come, now that it is gen-erally
understood that this drive will
be the means of saving thousands of
starving children overseas and that
much of the contributed money will
remain here in the county, at the call
of local charities.
If by any chance you were over-looked
in the canvassing—bring your
dollar. Lititz from the start of this
work has shown the big heart and will

dollars, you will never miss it
Lititz Choral Society.
The Lititz Choral Society met for
regular rehearsal in the High School
Auditorium on Monday evening-. The
sacred Cantata, "The Holy City" by
Alfred Gaul, and "Gallia," by Chas.
Gounod, are being practiced. The
attendance was not as large as it
should have been. A town of the size
of Lititz ought to have a representa-tive
vocal organization of at least
one hundred voices. Persons inter-ested
in good music or fond of sing-ing-
are urged to come ojit to these
meetings. Each Monday evening at
7.30 o'clock in the Ii. S. Auditorium.
coming week. Saturday's feature will
be, "Heart of the Wilds," a Para-mount
Artcraft feature, starring,
dainty Elsie Ferguson. The story
for the production is taken from Ed-gar
Selwyn's famous story of West-ern
life, "Pierre of the Plains."
" Barefisted Gallagher," featuring
William Desmond, telling an unusual
story of the West, will be Monday's
stellar attraction. Wednesday will
bring ont of Paramount Artcraft's
best productions, entitled, " The
Source,, with Wallace Reid in the
leading role. "Man's Desire" featur-ing
Lewis S. Stone, is the feature for
Thanksgiving. It tells a thrilling
story of the snow-fields, and is on a
par with the other excellent attrac-tions
which are shown at the Para-mount.
Hope They'll Lay, Christ
Mr. Christian R. Hernley of Scott-dale,
spent Saturday and Sunday in
town. While here he bought a dozen
Leghorn chickens from Wm. Stauffer
which were shipped to Scottdale.
Christ said eggs are bringing more
there than in this county and a dozen
chickens will come in mighty handy
in helping out the situation in his
family.
Spent 31 Months on Semi-Tropical
Islands—Great Place for
Shooting and Fishing.
Lieutenant Percy Dreifus, a phy-sician
in the navy, is here on a fur-lough,
visiting his parents Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Dreifus. Lieutenant
Dreifus had been stationed in the
semi-tropics for the past thirty-one
months, having been on the islands
of Porto Rico, San Dominco, Hati and
the Virgin Islands. He will prob-ably
be sent to some other place upon
his return to duty.
The young man during his stay on
the islands was successful in arous-ing
interest in establishing a Red
Cross Hospital. When off duty he
spent lots of his time hunting and
fishing. With a shot gun he bagged
a hundred wild doves in an hour and
it was nothing- unusual to shoot a
hundred wild ducks.-
There is a wonderful opportunity
for a young man on those islands, he
stated, as the - land is undeveloped.
Tropical fruits grow in abundance.
In fact, everything seems to thrive
that is put in the ground. The na-tives
plant corn without plowing,
making a hole in the ground with
their toes and dropping a kernel in
it. Then they scrape a little earth
over it and pat it down with their
foot, forgetting about it until it is
ready to harvest. Tobacco, equal to
that in Cuba, can be grown.
The race is mongreal, composed of
a mixture of Indian, Neg-ro, Spanish,
Cuban and what not. The natives
seem to be fond of resurrections and
the soldiers have seized thousands of
firearms and sunk them in the ocean.

Written For the "Record" by J. Frank Buch, Who Is
Homeward Bound
The more 1 study the city of Hono-lulu
and the Island of Oahu on which
it is located the more it appears to
me as an ideal place for the average
person who detests the blast of the
severe winter weather in the western
and Eastern States. However I would
not leave the inpression that it is a
perfect place—there is no such place
on earth—for every country on earth
has its advantages and disadvant-ages.
The weather conditions of the
Island are measured by the elevation
from the sea level; every 100 feet
marks a distinct change in tempera-ture.
At the lowest points there is
little breeze and the mosquito is the
worst enemy to humanity. The insect
penetrates the houses, although most
houses are screened, and sleep is out
of the quesetion unless incense is
burned all night. The hillsides are
immune as a rule unless there is no
breeze, which is unusual. Going up
higher in the mountains, and nearly
every mountain has inhabitants up to
the very top, and you will find it
very much colder, according to the
elevation, yet vegetation thrives and
the tallest trees grow there as well
as the prettiest flowers, because rain-fall
is an almost daily occurence.
A recent auto ride conveyed us
through the Eva sugar plantation dis-trict,
which is the best paying sugar
plantation on this island. The homes
of the employees are built in small
villages and the Eva has better
homes than any other plantation of
the half dozen or more on this island,
and it's mill and storage warehouses
indicate prosperity. " Some of the
other villages, the inhabitants of
which are mostly Portuguese and
Filipinos, are composed of frame
houses built on stiltz and contain two
rooms at most in which the families
cook, eat and sleep in these two
rooms no matter how large the fam-ily,
and as a rule they are blessed
with an abundance of children. Their
clothing is scanty and shoes are al-most
unknown the year round; in fact
we saw some quite large children in
the streets in their birthday outfit.
Sabbath Day Ignored.
The Sabbath clay in ignored to a
shameful degree by many people in
towns and country, On the streets
we see fish peddlers and other ven-dors
of goods, and the shops are near-ly
all open on the1 Sabbath day, while
you see many at work on the plan-tations
and at their trades of car-pentering,
stone cutting and hauling
of wood, hay and products of the
plantations. Of course there are
churches in town and country but
too few ever see the inside of a house
of worship and as a consequence the
church attendance is comparatively
small. There are reasons - for this
but I shall not go into details.
Natives Eat Poi With Fingers.
The Hawaiian people are kind-hearted
and appreciate recognition of
courtesy if extended by the Ameri-cans.
The time was when they lived
in grass huts and wore grass skirts,
when booze and the hulu-dance went
hand in hand, but now is a thing of
the past. However, we ha.d the
privilege of seeing a hulu-dance in
grass skirts, same as did Secretary
Josephus Daniels on his recent visit
to the island. Poi is still the native
dish, which is made from the tara
root, grown in the lowlands to a great
extent, but which requires two years
to mature. Without poi the natives
would think they could not exist.
When ready for the table it is about
the consistency of paper hanger's
paste and is eaten with the fingers
or with chop sticks. You must
learn to like it before you can pass
judgment on its merits.
It is wonderful to see how the boys
and young men can swim. They are
regular ducks in the water and can
endure hours of it without even a
sign of weariness, without even
touching the bottom of the bay along
the coast. At the appearance of an
incoming and outgoing vessel they are
sure to be on hand to show their dex-terity
in the art of swimming, wait-ing
for the passengers to throw
nickels in the water, which they dive
after and are sure to get. On our
steamer about to start stood some of
these young men on the highest
points, from which they made a dive
head foremost into the water at a
distance of probably sixty feet, much
to the amusement of the eyewitnesses.
Travelers are Decorated.
All incoming and outgoing pas-sengers
are decorated with leis by
their friends who see them off or
greet their coming. These Iais are
composed of garland or natural and
artificial flowers, the former being
preferred as they are so sweet-scent-ed.
The natives make them and have
them 0X1 Sell e at the piers.
Everybody seems to fall in love
with the native Hawaiian, vocal and
instrumental music. It is so differ-

Edward Sykes, a boarder at the
Springs Hotel, who hails from New

spite of being reared in the largest
city in the United States, he is a real
pedestrain. Joe Halpern and the
New York lad started to discuss the
question as to how long it would take
a man to walk from Lititz to Lan-caster.
Joe set the time at two
hours and fifteen minutesi-and offered
to back up his opinion with ten dol-lars.
"I'll take you up," said Sykes.
At 8 p. 111. they started away from
here, Joe following Sykes in a team..
Sykes reached the heart of the city
in just one hour and forty-five min-utes.
Although out of the ten dol-lars
and the cost of team hire Joe
showed he was a good loser by con-gratulating
the hiker and they came
home in the team.

The few turkeys raised around here
will soon be depleted. Farmers com-plain
that they have poorer results

and many former raisers have give»
it up with disgust.
