Herbert Doster and William Miller
bought the good will and fixtures of
the shoe repair shop on Broad street,

Burkholder Bros, have started work
on the foundation for their new auto
garage in the rear of the Sturgis

of the hotel property. It will be one
story high, with concrete walls and
steel girders, making it fireproof. A
Fordson tractor is used as motive
power in operating a scoop shovel in
leveling the ground. The Fordson
does the work better that a pair of
horses or mules, as the drawing power
is steadier and under better control.
The new freight depot on .Water
street is nearing completion and will
soon be under roof. The large plat-form
and other conveniences will give
it a big advantage over the depot
used at present.

referred to the street committee.
A representative from Ephrata ap-peared
before council with reference
to locating an ice plant in Lititz. The

Notice to Persons Employing Minors
Special attention is called relative
to the return of all employment cer-tificates
when a minor leaves the em-ploy
of any person or manufacturing
company.
This is the provision the law has
made to assist the school authorities
in checking up on all pupils in the dis-trict,
and in several cases the above
has not been carried out.
So, as soon as a child leaves the
employ of any one,employment cerfi-cate
Form GEC-60000 should imme-diately
be sent to the office of the
Supervising Principal.
Possibilities for a Kindergarten
According to receent legislation
the school directors of any class of
school districts may upon petition of
the parents or guardians of at least
twenty-five (25) children between the
ages of 4 and 6 years, establish and
maintain a kindergarten.
We believe that if there is a suffi-cient
desire for kindergarten work
that it will be altogether possible and
feasible to make provisions for this
important phase of public school work.

Salmon Starting to Bite
Fishing was poor at the river Sat-urday,
the water being high and black
A number of local fishermen came home
disappointed. However, it was lucky
day for William Snavely. On days
that fishing was good he failed to land
a single, specimen, but on Saturday he
caught a bass and a 16-inch salmon.
G. G. Diehm had a 22-inch salmon and
David Spickler a nineteen incher.
PICKINGS
The death of Christian
Snyder near Lititz last week
recalled to the memory of
our townsman A. R. Beck the
fact t h a t it was on the Snyder
f a rm where Count Zinzendorf
preached in one of his pil-grimages
to Lititz in 1742.
Zinzendorf is so well known
to Moravians that his history
needs no repeating in these
columns.
There must have been some
sort of a social event in an
East Main street home at 3
o'clock in the morning re-cently
judging from the loud
talking and laughing going
on of both male and female
voices. Don't be so loud
hereafter when all windows
are open and the whole neigh-borhood
hears it.
Rally Day in All the Sunday Schools
October 2
A meeting of the Sunday School
workers of all denominations in the
town met at 3 o'clock last Sunday af-ternoon
m the Moravian S. S. Chapel
to complete their arrangements for
canvassing the town in the interest of
Sunday School work. The main ob-ect
was to find out how many of our
people are interested in church and
Sunday School work and invite those
not affiliated with any church to the
services. After a season of devotional
service the workers started out by
twos to canvas the town. -
As a result all the people of the
town will receive a warm welcome in
any church of any denoniinat:on in
town where they may decide to wor-ship
on Rally Sunday, Oct. 2.
An auto refused to budge
on West Main street. For
one solid hour the owner
tried to start it. Passers-by
stopped and made sugges-tions.
Half a dozen persons
tried to stick their heads
under the hood at one time.
I t was a brand new car and
the owner was disgusted and
peeved. Different things
were tried but nothing help-ed.
One suggested that it
was the carbureter, another
person was sure it was some-thing
else and there were
other suggestions by the free-for-
all opinion experts. At
last the owner remembered—
he had locked the switch, a
precaution against the ma-chine
being stolen. Then it
was a simple matter to start.
Two Lititz young men took
a two day hike to the Leba-non
pumping station and
scoured the mountains around
there. Everything was fine
until night. They slept in
an old shed and when it be-came
dark the older of the
two fellows became scared.
About twelve o'clock he
awoke his partner. "Johnny,"
he said, as he shook him,
"wake up, I saw a man at
the door." A .match was lit,
but the image was only
imagination. Throughout the
long night he kept calling,
"Johnny, don't go to sleep,"
and he fairly shook from
f r i g h t . It is doubtful if he
will ever again be induced to
sleep outside.
A man connected with a
Lititz industry is offering a
house for rent to an out-of-town
family, provided one
man and two of the women
of the family will work for
his concern. Good wages will
be paid. The reason that an
out-of-town family is wanted
is because there are practi-cally
no available women out
of employment in town and it
would be a poor policy to
take them away from other
industries. Also, all the male
help is at work. This man
has been a builder of new
homes. He has the right
idea to increase the popula-tion
of the toWn and keep it
moving. There is no reason
why Lititz should not grow
to a town of ten thousand
population.
Rothsville Will Play Two Games of
Base Ball
Rothsville will play the Lancaster
Indians on the Lititz diamond at the
Springs on Saturday, game starting
at 3 o'clock P. M. The Indians are
one of the best teams in Lancaster
and have a big string of victories for
the season.
On the following day at 2:30 P. M.
Rothsville and Marietta will play at
Rothsville. Rothsville is anxious to
get another chance at Marietta and
will make every effort to win.
Linden Hall Has About Same Attend-ance
as Last Year
Linden Hall Seminary opened on
the 20th inst. with an attendance of
91 boarding, a number of day and
special music pupils, so that so far
the enrollment is over one hundred.
Dr. and Mrs. Stengel gave a recep-tion
for the pupils and faculty last
Friday evening.
ODD FELLOWS HELD
LADIES' NIGHT
Pleasing Program Given, Followed
by Refreshments
Ladies' night was held Monday eve-ning
by the local Odd Fellow Lodge.
Almost two hundred presons were pre-sent,
including members, wives, sisters
and lady friends. It was one of the
best social affairs of the town this sea-son.
A degree team of twenty-eight
members, in full uniform, gave an ex-hibition
of floor work. Hackman's
orchestra played appropriate marches.
The fine marching was warmly ap-plauded.
S. C. Hassler was the master of
ceremony and was very capable.
Every number of the program, to
the final "eats" was enjoyed. The
program was interspersed with sing-ing
by the audience. Following the
degree team S,. C. Hassler gave an ad-dress
of welcome. The other features
were: Recitation, "Cremation of Sam
McGee," by Ralph Worley; vocal solo,
Mrs. Norman Habecker; piano solo,
Mrs. John Mathers; recitation, "Oh,
I'se so glad I vas Here Tonight," by
Chas. H. Zartman; violin solo, Herbert
Weitzel; pi^no duet, Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Young; solo, Hiram Reedy;
Bounastiel, Arthur -K. Reist; music,
by Hackman's orchestra.
At the conclusion of the program
the audience sat down to a table in
the banquet hall on the second floor.
The menu "touched the spot," and
consisted of cold roast, beef and ham,
tomatoes on lettuce, swiss - cheese,
olives, pretzles, streislers, ice cream
and coffee.
LITTLE BOY TAKES
8-MILE VELOCIPEDE TRIP
ICE PLANT FOR LITITZ
Lititz Springs Water Will be Used for
Congealed Liquid
Lititz is going to have an artificial
ice plant, known as the Lititz Ice
Manufacturing Company, on the site
where the Burkholder garage had
been. Building operations will be
started at once. The plant, which will
have an output of twenty tons a day,
is greatly needed in Lititz and sur-rounding
towns, and will be a welcome
industry. The ice harvested at the
local dams, is far from adequate to
supply the need, even under most
favorable weather conditions. This
necessitated trips of ten and more
miles to bring ice here.
Lititz spring water will be used in
the manufacture, insuring a pure pro-duct.
Lititz spring ice should become
as famed here as the other products
made in Lititz.
Captured a Nest of Skunks
On Christian Snyder's f a rm in Clay
township a nest of 5 baby skunks were
captured and placed in a small out-building,
where they are thriving and
have grown quite large. They feed on
chickens and vegetables and have
grown almost to normal size, but pre-f
e r to keep in hiding under boxes and
in very dark corners. They are nearly
all black in color with a few white
tips for ornaments, as it were. They
are quite tame and no loud odor was
noticed in their place of captivity, but
it is safest not to play with them too
much if you want to be safe from a
dose of unpleasantry.
Nathan Fry Hurt by Auto Running
Him Down
Nathan Fry, of South Broad street,
was struck by an automobile last
Saturday at Lancaster. He was pick-ed
up unconscious and taken to the
hospital. Mr. Fry had stepped off
the curb and was about to cross the
street when a machine struck him.
Several teeth were broken, his lip cut
and his leg somewhat hurt. The man
driving the machine picked him up,
and placing him in his car, took him
to the'hospital. Mr. Fry is recover-ing
nicely.
A Man of Romance
Charley Ringwalt has been an in-mate
of the United Zion Home north
of Lititz somewhat over three months.
He is about 70 years of age and came
here f r om Carlisle, where he was born.
Several of his nieces provide the funds
for his keeping and he has apparently
settled down for the remainder of his
life. He states that he was a bum
since 18 years of age until recently
and never worked. He tramped it to
nearly all sections of the United
States and always managed to exist
on "hand-outs," no matter where he
was, and usually escaped arrest on the
charge of vagrancy. He is quite well
posted on the topography of the coun-t
ry and reads all the news in the daily
papers.
Made Trip From Here to Lancaster in
Two Hours
©
The seven year old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ray Meiskey of West Orange
street had a long velocipede trip last
Saturday, when he covered the dis-tance
from this place to Lancaster.
After breakfast he left the house to
play. At 9:15 in the morning a mes-sage
was received from Lancaster
from his grandparents saying that the
boy wag with them.
Considering that he left some time
a f t e r seven he made quick time, as it
would have taken a good walker to do
better. The boy said he was not tired
but "awfully" hungry. He related
that he walked up the hills but going
down "let it fly." By evening he con-fessed
to his mother t h a t he was tired,
saying, "Hurry, put me to bed, I can't
stand any longer."

Party for High School Boy
A birthday suprise party was held
last Thursday evening for Paul Dos-ter,
on the lawn at the home of his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Doster.
Those in attendance were mostly fel-low
members of the Senior class. The
lawn was beautifully illuminated with
miniature electric lights, arranged by
Robert Russell. Excellent refresh-ments
were served.
New Phase on West Virgin Coal
Miners' Trouble
One of our former Lititz boys.
George E. Smith, of Philadelphia, ob-jects
to the article on the Coal Miners'
strike in West Virginia as it was
given in last week's issue of the Rec-ord.
He writes:
"The public in general (except those
that know the real conditions that
exist there and the cause of it) will
believe such falsehoods.
Metropolitan newspapers are also
publishing the same fake testimony
against the miners, subsidized by the
capitalists.
I have had the pleasure of hearing-men
from this same mining district
tell the real cause and existing condi-tions
and ministers who have been
there to investigate have found the
situation entirely the reverse to the
reports given in money controlled
newspapers."

The
County Fair
¿^gg luiiiinM-ilJlEMimimniiii^
This is f a i r week. On Tuesday the
school children of the borough were
strongly represented. Today the
grown-ups of town will flock to the
county fair. The Rush cigar factory
is closed today on account of the fair
and there will be a scarcity of workers
at the other factories.
The county fair is considered an
educational institution. Little Willie
enjoys the high diver and who knows
but what he may some day at home
t ry a dive in the bath tub. The
midway, although censored, neverthe-less
offers some educational features
with its oriental music.' Pa and the
younger, blood are fond of the mid-way.
Gee, but it takes nickels to supply
popcorn, hot dog sandwiches and
orange juice for the kiddies. Every-person
eats at the fair grounds and
then eats again when they get into
Lancaster.
Educational or not, no matter how
jammed and how many persons step
on your feet, or how tired you are at
night, you wouldn't miss the fair.
Naturally you wouldn't go to the- f a ir
if you thought it wouldn't be crowded.
That's why every person waits for the
big day. Whether you see the big
pumpkins or not, there is an educa-tion
at the fair. You see people, all
kinds from every section. There is a
constant noise, a difference from the
every-day monotony. The simple life
may be all right, but once in a while
you want a change. You get it at
the fair.
Sherman Carpenter Came Back
Sherman Carpenter, the pest pitch-er
ever turned out in the county, came
back, pitching a game at Hopeland
Saturday, in a contest between the
married and single men. Vermont
Meily caught. Sherm seemed to have
all his old time stuff, speed and hooks,
and for six innings he held his op-ponents
runless. He then eased up
but won his game. Sherman said no
one was more surprised than himself
the way his "old soupbone" responded.

family.
Mr. and Mrs. Elias Groff and Mr.
and Mrs. Luther Groff, all of Paradise,
spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. John
Gable on Lincoln avenue. Mr. Elias
Groff had not been here for fifty
years. He was taken around the town
by automobile and was surprised at the
changes made here in half a century.
He remembered especially how the
Springs had looked when he was here
as a boy. Then it was little more
than a marsh and he could hardly be-lieve
it was the same place.
Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Banzhoff with
their sons John and Harry, of Altoona,
were guests over Sunday of Mr. and
Mrs. Jerry Adams, 19 South Locust
street. The Banzhoff family are on
an auto trip to Philadelphia, stopping
on the way at Harrisburg, Lancaster,
Reading, Allentown and Easton. The
younger son Harry will remain in
Philadelphia, returning to the univer-sity
there for his Junior year. Mr.
Banzhoff formerly resided in Lancas-ter
and is always glad to greet his old
friends.
Mr. Harry W. Seaber and adopted
son Paul, of Palmyra, N. J., visited
the former's brother Harvey and wife
here last Saturday and Sunday. Mr.
Seaber has not been here for thirteen
years and it is f o r ty years since he left
the parental roof to seek his fortune.
He was very much interested in the
old town as it originally was com-pared
to the present day, but here and
there found a few old landmarks. He
was given an auto ride to Rothsville,
Akron, Ephrata, Clay, Briekerville
and several other places, all of which
he greatly enjoyed.
