Some Tractor On Tuesday John Longenecker gave a demonstration in threshing with the Samson Tractor on Albert Shenk's farm. This powerful little tractor, •coupled to a Peerless thresher, had a record of as high as 110 bushels of wheat an hour, when the shocks were fed in fast, pulling a hay baler at the same time. The old custom of serving coffee at lovefeasts in the Moravian church here was brought from across the seas in the early pioneer days. Love-feasts from that early beginning have been held regularly on certain church calendar dates of importance through-our the year, a dozen times or more. As a result the Moravians know good coffee. They are connoisseurs. The coffee cooks have beett men who served an apprenticeship of a quarter of a century or more before they gained the title of head or chief coffee cook. They enter the service in the prime of life, and by the time their hair has taken on a tinge of gray, they have advanced by slow stages to the top. They serve without pay. They become specialists. There are no better coffee cooks anywhere. Those who have drunk Moravian cof-fee realize that it is inimitable. Knows Coffee by Smell, Taste, Sight A head Moravian coffee cook knows coffee by smell, taste, and sight. His sense of smell is acute. Long before he tastes it he can tell by the tinge of color whether the storekeeper is hand-ling a good grade of coffee or not. You can't fool him. A greenish tinge donates a poor grade coffee. The liquid as it is poured out must have a reddish shade. By the way the coffee sinks or floats on top of the water the expert can forecast the quality of the coffee. There are other numerous signs of quality which they learn in their long connoisseurship. Cook Coffee in Barrel Quantities To cook a barrel of coffee right is no' ten minute job. They might have done it in the army, but none of the "boys" came home with a fond re-membrance of army coffee. Ask a Moravian coffee cook how long he boils his coffee and you insult him. You touch a tender spot in'his art. He will tell you he only scalds it. Coffee Cooked at Same Place for Years For a hundred or more years coffee has been cooked in the same place in the basement under the parsonage The same kettles are still in use. One is a hand-beaten copper kettle. It has always been cooked on a wood fire. The only change is that once it was an open lire. A lever was made many years ago by a blacksmith named John Souders to better handle the heavy kettles. The bigger kettle shown on the picture holds a barrel of liquid. The same old plate stove made at the old Elizabeth furnace, now con-sidered a relic, for burning wood, is still used to heat the basement room where the coffee is cooked. The ex-treme width of the foundation walls, seen by the doorways and windows, surprise a visitor as to the pains taken in the seventeen hundreds to build substantial. How Moravians Make Coffee The water is heated until it becomes scalding hot. Then the ground coffee is put in and the big kettle is swung off the fire. After fifteen minutes of scalding the liqSid is screened out, the coffee grounds removed and the kettle rinsed out. Sugar is put in and the liquid poured back. Then the cream is poured in and the kettle plac-ed on the fire with just enough heat to keep i t hot but not boiling. Every now and then it is stirred. It should be kept in this state for an hour at least, when the cream, milk and coffee extract are thoroughly mixed. Made by the barrel lot, the length of time that it is allowed to mix, the scalding and short time that the grounds are in the liquid, are the basic points in the science Of the correct cooking of Moravian coffee. Head Coffee Cook Man of Long Ex-perience The head coffee cooks remembered by the present church goers, are Char-les Grosh, who served for thirty-eight years, now dead; Henry Seaber, who served for twenty-seven years; James Sturgis, who served for twenty-five years, now dead; Amos Burkholder, twenty-two years, having lately re-signed. The head man now is Fre- New Principal Showing Scholars That It Pays to Study The work in the local schools is moving along smoothly. Mr. Ray Grube is well qualified to look after athletics and work up interest in that direction. He is a Lebanon Valley graduate and a four sport man basket ball, foot ball, track and base ball. His first attention will be to get the teams in readiness for the county meet at Millersville. Athletic organizations are being organized this week. There will be physical drills for the High School pupils this win-ter. The basket ball outlook is bright, with three of the former team back at school together with several substi-tutes. Mr. H. L. Murr, the music director, who has charge from the first grade to the Senior class, has mapped out a four year course for the High School, starting with rudiments of music and melody training- for the Freshman class; Sophomore, rudiments of music, melody training and dictations; Jun-iors, history and appreciation of mont Hollinger, who has served s o m e r u s i c ; S e n i o r s ' h i s t o r y a n d aPPrecia-twenty years, and assistants and ap- t l o n o f m u s l c " T h e c o u r s e w i l 1 b e a p - prentices are James Sturgis, Albert p h m e n t e d b y instrumental music, Gochenour and William Zellers. | v o c a l elections, duets, drills and me-chanical instructions.

Thirty showed up satisfactorily, and the coffee cooks complained of the coarseness of the ground coffee and she was relieved of her duty. The grinding of the coffee then became a store job. Practically the same proportions are used today as fifty or more years ago —one quart cream, one pound sugar, one pound coffee to produce thirty-five to forty mugs of coffee. History of Coffee The drinking of coffee is increasing in the United States. $1,000,000 worth is used a day. The increase is attri-buteed in part to the fact that it is the first year of prohibition. There is a tradition to the effect that coffee was found growing wild in • Arabia some 600 years ago by Hadji Omar, a dervish. Hadji Omar was dying of hunger in the desert, when he found some small, round berries and tried to eat them. They were, however, too bitter. After roasting them he finally steeped them in water —and found the decoction as refresh ing as if he had partaken of solid food. Upon his return to Mohka, he brought his discovery to the attention of "the wise man,' Notice Concerning Compulsory- School Law for Lititz Borough According- to the new school law children are obliged to make 100 per cent, school attendance. They can be excused from school only for the most urgent reasons, as sickness, etc. There are still some children who are allowed by their parents to absent themselves from school without law-ful reasons. Parents who violate the compulsory school law make them-selves liable to fine and imprisonment. Dr. Finnegan, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, recently gave out statements saying that he would cut the State appropriations this year for any district, in which the compul-sory attendance law is being violated.

Some Tractor On Tuesday John Longenecker gave a demonstration in threshing with the Samson Tractor on Albert Shenk's farm.

The old custom of serving coffee at lovefeasts in the Moravian church here was brought from across the seas in the early pioneer days. Love-feasts from that early beginning have been held regularly on certain church calendar dates of importance through-our the year, a dozen times or more. As a result the Moravians know good coffee. They are connoisseurs. The coffee cooks have beett men who served an apprenticeship of a quarter of a century or more before they gained the title of head or chief coffee cook. They enter the service in the prime of life, and by the time their hair has taken on a tinge of gray, they have advanced by slow stages to the top. They serve without pay. They become specialists. There are no better coffee cooks anywhere. Those who have drunk Moravian cof-fee realize that it is inimitable. Knows Coffee by Smell, Taste, Sight A head Moravian coffee cook knows coffee by smell, taste, and sight. His sense of smell is acute. Long before he tastes it he can tell by the tinge of color whether the storekeeper is hand-ling a good grade of coffee or not. You can't fool him. A greenish tinge donates a poor grade coffee. The liquid as it is poured out must have a reddish shade. By the way the coffee sinks or floats on top of the water the expert can forecast the quality of the coffee. There are other numerous signs of quality which they learn in their long connoisseurship. Cook Coffee in Barrel Quantities To cook a barrel of coffee right is no' ten minute job. They might have done it in the army, but none of the "boys" came home with a fond re-membrance of army coffee. Ask a Moravian coffee cook how long he boils his coffee and you insult him. You touch a tender spot in'his art. He will tell you he only scalds it. Coffee Cooked at Same Place for Years For a hundred or more years coffee has been cooked in the same place in the basement under the parsonage The same kettles are still in use. One is a hand-beaten copper kettle. It has always been cooked on a wood fire. The only change is that once it was an open lire. A lever was made many years ago by a blacksmith named John Souders to better handle the heavy kettles. The bigger kettle shown on the picture holds a barrel of liquid. The same old plate stove made at the old Elizabeth furnace, now con-sidered a relic, for burning wood, is still used to heat the basement room where the coffee is cooked. The ex-treme width of the foundation walls, seen by the doorways and windows, surprise a visitor as to the pains taken in the seventeen hundreds to build substantial. How Moravians Make Coffee The water is heated until it becomes scalding hot. Then the ground coffee is put in and the big kettle is swung off the fire. After fifteen minutes of scalding the liqSid is screened out, the coffee grounds removed and the kettle rinsed out. Sugar is put in and the liquid poured back. Then the cream is poured in and the kettle plac-ed on the fire with just enough heat to keep i t hot but not boiling. Every now and then it is stirred. It should be kept in this state for an hour at least, when the cream, milk and coffee extract are thoroughly mixed. Made by the barrel lot, the length of time that it is allowed to mix, the scalding and short time that the grounds are in the liquid, are the basic points in the science Of the correct cooking of Moravian coffee. Head Coffee Cook Man of Long Ex-perience The head coffee cooks remembered by the present church goers, are Char-les Grosh, who served for thirty-eight years, now dead; Henry Seaber, who served for twenty-seven years; James Sturgis, who served for twenty-five years, now dead; Amos Burkholder, twenty-two years, having lately re-signed.

His first attention will be to get the teams in readiness for the county meet at Millersville. Athletic organizations are being organized this week.

Thirty showed up satisfactorily, and the coffee cooks complained of the coarseness of the ground coffee and she was relieved of her duty. The grinding of the coffee then became a store job. Practically the same proportions are used today as fifty or more years ago —one quart cream, one pound sugar, one pound coffee to produce thirty-five to forty mugs of coffee. History of Coffee The drinking of coffee is increasing in the United States. $1,000,000 worth is used a day. The increase is attri-buteed in part to the fact that it is the first year of prohibition. There is a tradition to the effect that coffee was found growing wild in • Arabia some 600 years ago by Hadji Omar, a dervish. Hadji Omar was dying of hunger in the desert, when he found some small, round berries and tried to eat them. They were, however, too bitter. After roasting them he finally steeped them in water —and found the decoction as refresh ing as if he had partaken of solid food. Upon his return to Mohka, he brought his discovery to the attention of "the wise man,' Notice Concerning Compulsory- School Law for Lititz Borough According- to the new school law children are obliged to make 100 per cent, school attendance. They can be excused from school only for the most urgent reasons, as sickness, etc. There are still some children who are allowed by their parents to absent themselves from school without law-ful reasons. Parents who violate the compulsory school law make them-selves liable to fine and imprisonment. Dr. Finnegan, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, recently gave out statements saying that he would cut the State appropriations this year for any district, in which the compul-sory attendance law is being violated.
