INTERESTING THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN
TOWN AND VICINITY.
Fishing for "suckers in the nearby
streams has been quite successful by
several of our citizens within the last
several weeks.
Many people driving horses steer
clear of Lititz on account of the slippy
condition of its streets, causing the an-imals
to fall.
Today the deer hunting season opens
in this state. Some of our Lititz nim-rods
will be on the job. The rabbit
season closes in the 15th mst.
Lard can now be bought at 10 and 11
cents per pound. A year ago it sold
from 16 to 20 cents and two years ago
30 cents was the prevailing price.
With the approach of Christmas
pretzels will be shipped out wholesale
to persons to whom it will be not only
a gift to tickle the palate but will
bring back scenes of old days in Lititz.
A beagle dog belonging to Sherman
Steffy was poisoned. He had the ani-mal
almost seven years and naturally
the family was very much attached to
it. Mr. Steffy has no idea why any
person should have poisoned it.
Five carloads of Chevrolet cars,
nineteen in all, arrived in the county
last week for John Longenecker and
his sub-dealers. A number of the cars
are sold, consisting of open and closed
cars.

U. S. Delp, whose f a rm is about half
a mile east of Lititz, claims his twelve
acre crop of leaf tobacco is the best
and finest he ever grew in the twenty-two

to make it just the right stuff.
Mr. H. C. Reedy is leading the sing-ing
at the evangelistic services at the
Mountville U. B. church, which open-ed
Sunday and will continue nightly
for two weeks. On Tuesday Mr. Reedy
and his son Carl sang several duets,
and on Thursday evening Mr. Oliver

selections. Mr. Reedy is doing good
work and has organized a large
chorus.
Licenses for Fishermen

Notice
The reassessment of borough pro-perties
is almost completed, and will
add approximately $61,672 more to the
assessment lisj. The work of revis-ing
the fixed valuations is in the hands
of the assessors, two school directors
and two councilmen. The present
basis of valuation of the borough is
$1,633,285. With the present adjust-ments
it was increased by $250,000,
making the total $1,883,285. Ten per
cent, was shaved off of this amount,
so that it will stand at $1,694,957.
This must be submitted to the county
controller's office for approval. Citi-zens
can also make objection there if
they are not satisfied. Reassessments
must be made every three years.
The borough had previously been as-sessed
on a fifty per cent, basis. By
the present method 10 per cent, was
taken off of this, putting it on a 40
per cen. basis. This may causes taxes
to look bigger than a borough in which
properties are assessed at full values,
which is the rule at most places. In
making comparison of taxes it is al-ways
well to consider on what basis
the valuation is made.
GEN. SI TTER IS RE-MEMBERED
BY NUMBER
OF LOCAL PERSONS
O u r i o w i
The month of December
has the shortest days of the
year but requires the longest
purse, because the holiday
season requires a longer one
as a rule.
$8,450 Far Long-Lost Fort Sutter
Papers
The Fort Sutter Papers written at
Sutter's Fort, Sonoma, Yerba Buena,
Monerey and elsewhere in 1846 and
1847, and which were lost for'years in
the mountains of New Mexico, were
sold Monday at the Anderson Galler-ies,
in New York. A large audience
was present, and there was spirited
bidding between Dr. A. S. W. Rosen-bach,
Lathrop C. Harper, H. V. Jones,
W. R. Coe, the Liberty of Congress
and others for the papers, which were
in thirty-nine volumes, in binding
done by the De Vinne Press. The bid-ding
quickly soared into the thousands
and the prize was finally obtained by
Dr. Rosenbach for $8,450.
These papers were sought in vain
for more than half a century. Ban-croft,
the historian, finally abandoned
hope and said in his volumes on Cali-fornia
that a veil of mystery shrouded
the events of 1846 and 1847 in the Sac-ramento
Valley, and that very, little
was known of affairs at Sutter's Fort
during Edward M. Kern's administra-tion
as commander there. General
Stephen Watts Kearney and John C.
Fremont figure in the papers.
Written a year a f t e r the time they
were dated they were abandoned in
the New Mexico mountains, where
they lay for an unknown period.
Neither the documents themselves nor
Kern's related papers reveal the time
when they were discovered and again
came into his possession. Certain
letters, do show, however, that he was
still searching for them in 1851.
Their history from that date until
their recent accidental discovery is un-known.
An article containing further data
on this subject will be found on page
two.
Garden Spot Basket Ball Team Wlil
Open Season This Friday
Tomorrow evening, Garden Spot
Post No. 56, American Legion, will
play Manheim in the High School
Gymnasium. Manheim is connected
with the tri-county league and is con-sidered
very strong. Garden Spot
Post should prove one of the strong-est
Lititz aggregations in years. This
\frill be the opening game for Lititz
and the lads will wear their new uni-forms.
The admission is 25 cents for
adults.
The Legion players comprise Ray
Dillman, r Harvey Bachman, James
Carper, forwards; Guy Brubaker, cen-ter;
David Graybill, Leon Keath, Ar-thur
Evans, guards.
Children are asked to occupy the
west side of the gymnasium.
Attention
Hereafter all bills must be filed with
the Borough Secretary, J. B. Herr, on
or before the 20th of each and every
month, with the exception of labor
claims which ipust be filed on the Sat-urday
preceding the regular monthly
meeting of Council. Otherwise the
bills will be carried over until the fol-lowing
month. This is being done in
order to give the Secretary and Fin-ance
Committee more time to audit be-fore
payment is made.
J. B. HERR,
Secretary
By request the Lititz Boy Scouts
will repeat the play entitled "The
Scoutmaster," on Thursday evening,
Dec. 15, in the Lititz High School
auditorium. Tickets can be purchased
for 25 cents from the scouts who will
canvas the town.
Editor Zook to Go to Washington
John G. Zook, first vice-president of
the Pennsylvania State Editorial As-sociation
and editor of the Lititz Ex-press,
is preparing to go to Washing-ton,
D. C., where a conference will be
held on December 15th to consider
Senator Ladd's monetary bill (S. B.
2604). Mr. Zook thinks as many edi-tors
should attend as are able to do so.
Don't carry all your money
to Lancaster when shopping.
You can be accommodated
just as well and as cheap here
at home. The out-of-town
merchants don't help to pay
our taxes neither do they help
to keep up our churches nor
do they contribute to our
charitable causes.
At a well-known gathering
of men on a recent evening
one of them, who is quite a
candy fiend, was informed
that too many sweets are
liable to bring on a stroke.
He didn't say much publicly
but we are quite sure that
hereafter he will cut out
candy to a great extent.
That automobile accident
at Ephrata last week, where-by
a train caught seven oc-cupants
and injured nearly
all of them, should be a
warning to all. Bad as it
was it might have been worse.
In fact there is nothing so
bad that it could not have
been worse. Lititz has five
grade crossings over the
railroad while Ephrata has
three. All the more there
is reason to adopt safety
first. The railroad compan-ies
should be compelled to
place watchman at all dan-gerous
crossing. This would
be the only safe way to elim-inate
danger. When the
horse is stolen it is too late
to lock the stable door.
Apples now sell by the
piece instead of by the peck
or bushel in some of the
stores. Things change from
time to time. Now you can
buy oranges by the peck in-stead
of by the piece or doz-en.
The peanut is not a nut;
it is a pea. It is a trailing,
straggling plant, growing
from one to two feet high,
with thick, angular, pale
green, hairy stems and
spreading branches, and it
ripens its f r u i t or its peas or
nuts, under ground. It is a
strange habit. Small yellow
flowers are borne on the joints
where the leaves are attached
to the steins and as soon as
pollination takes place the
flower fades and the "peg" as
it is commonly called, buries
itself in the ground, where
the pod develops.
Lancaster Man to Address Sons of
Veterans
The local order of Sons of Veterans
will meet at the Malta Temple on
Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 7:30 o'clock.
Mr. Charles Auman, Division Com-mander
of the Sons of Veterans, of
Lancaster, will give an address. It is
asked that the members turn out for a
boom meeting.
The meeting night from now on will
be the first Wednesday of each month.

PRETZELS TO
TRAVEL HALF WAY
AROUND WORLD
The Twist That Make Lititz Famous
Sent to Far-Off Korea
Pretzels were shipped this week
from N. D. Sturgis bakery to Mrs.
John V. Lacy, addressed as follows:
Outside West Gate, Seoul, Korea. The
order was received from Alice R. Op-pengeller,
who stated in her letter to
Mr. Sturgis that she realized the
pretzels would not be as good as when
eaten directly from the oven, but the
addressee made a special request for
them.
The Lititz proprietor does not know
either of the women but judges they
must have been in Lititz some time or
other, probably as school girls. Mr.
Sturgis receives numerous requests
for pretzels from all directions, fre-quently
telling him that the writer had
acquired a taste for pretzels during
their boyhood or girlhood day's at
Lititz. The pretzel business, over a
century old, has its romance and rem-iniscences
that lifts it above other cut
and dried businesses of the present
day.

LOCAL HUNTSMEN
AFTER DEER
George Used to Pitch Baseball Here
Mr. and Mrs. George Bashore and
son Nevin, of Baltimore, Md., motored
here last Saturday and stopped with
her uncle, Thomas Kissinger. Mr.
Bashore and son went from here to
Mifflin county, where he will meet a
number of friends, who will hunt in
the mountains for big game. . Mr.
Bashore spent his younger days here
as a tinsmith apprentice with A. M.

camp in Yerger's truck.
D. A. Long and Eugene Long left
town Wednesday morning by automo-bile
for the hunting lodge of the Mt.
Joy Gunning Club between Mt. Alto
and Cleona Park. • Eugene had some
difficulty in getting started. He plac-ed
his gunning coat on top of some
blankets at his home at 4 o'clock in
the morning and when he stopped off
at his business office the coat was mis-ing.
He retraced the distance but
could not find the coat, the important
thing being that his license was at-tached
to it. He had to wait at Lan-caster
until 9 o'clock that morning
to secure another license.
Frank Bouder and wife, who are
spending part of the hunting season in
Centre county, were home on Satur-day,
leaving again the next day. Mr.
Wayne Zartman accompanied them.
They will try their luck at shooting
deer. Mrs. Bouder has a license to
shoot. They reported shooting 26
snowshoe rabbits and several pheas
ants. Only two turkeys were shot in
the section where they are located.
