GRANGE NEWS
The special meeting of Warwick
Grange on Saturday evening, Jan. 21,
was .a very satisfactory one, the farm
families of the community being well
represented. The meeting was pre-sided
over by Dr. H. Walter of Roths-ville.
The meeting was opened by the
audience singing, "My Country Tis of
Thee." J. W. Bruckart of Lititz gave
a short address of welcome. Lester
Miller gave a recitation, subject, "The
Farmer's Lazy Wife."
After a song by the Grange State
Master John A. McSparran took the
floor.and for an hour held the full at-tention
of his hearers as Mr. McSpar-ran
always can. His subject was "The
Grange*as a Community Force." This
was followed by several violin solos
by Lloyd Metzler accompanied on the
piano by Miss Elva Metzler. There
was a recitation by Misses Reba Enck
and Annie Levan entitled, "When Pa
and Ma are Sick."
A discussion was opened by Sam-uel
Givler, of Ephrata R. D. 4, sub-ject,
"Co-operative Buying." Remarks
were also made by S. E. Bushong and
others. This was followed by a vocal
quartette by Mrs. Florence Hellinger,
Miss Edna Bushong, and Messrs. W.
B. Enck, and Stephen Levan. Amos
Shenk of Manheim R. D. 3, being pre-sent,
was called upon and gave some
information about the Co-operative
Farm Products Company which has
just been formed at Lititz. Cullen
Carpenter then gave a recitation en-titled
"Pennsylvania. After another
song bv the Grange the meeting ad-journed.

Warwick Grange held its regular
meeting last Monday evening in the
Rothsville High School. The attend-ance
was larger than at any time this

the Grange at this meeting, most of
them taking the first and second de-grees.
.The new members are resi-dents
of Warwick, Elizabeth and
Penn townships, Rothsville and Lititz.

We read about the poor
starving people of Russia.
Mr. Reedy tells a pitiful
story of aln aged Reading
couple, while doing evangelis-tic
singing in that city. The
pastor of the church, Rev.
Harper, received a call by
phone to come to a certain
house. Accompanied by Mr.
Reedy they called at the
place. The man and wife did
not have a bite of food, the
house was almost bare of fur-niture
with no carpet on the
floor. Everything that could
be sold was disposed of to live
on. There was no fuel and
they spent most of the time
in bed to keep warm. The
minister and the Lititz man
dug down in their pockets to
supply their immediate wants
and saw to it that they will
be provided for in the future.
The pastor and his friend
were thanked with tears run-ning
down the cheeks of the
old people.
Now that Zell has been
given a sentence of 30 years
he will probably appreciate
that the world, or justice at
least, is pretty square. A
young man from Lititz who
was unfortunate enough to
spend a week in the county
jail, met Zell in the prison
yard. Zell asked him a num-ber,
of questions and finally
told him some of his trou-bles.
"You see," was Zell's
theory, "the world wasn't
made square and it has never
been square since."
, Tobacco Sold
The following reports of tobacco
sold were given at the meeting of the
proposed Lititz Tobacco Packers' As-sociation:
Addison Long sold 5 acres a 15 and
3; one crop was sold at 12 cents and a
bonus; Samuel Oberholtzer sold at 15
and 4 to the Eisenlohrs.
Charles Vollerstrom sold 4 acres at
12 and 4. Some farmers have sold
but would not give any price. The
supposition prevailed that those farm-ers
received a bonus. Monroe Shue
sold 12 acres at 13 and 3. Quite»a few
farmers reported that they were of-fered
15 cents but would not sell at
that price. .
Long & Taylor, of Landisville,
bought three crops for which they
paid 15 and 15 cents. Wm. Amer
bought Jeremiah Landis' crop of 13
acres at 13 cents.

BR. RODDY AT
Teachers of Lititz and Surround-ing
Townships Met at Local
High School
The teachers and directors of Lititz
Borough, Warwick, Manheim and Eli-zabeth
townships met in their 37th
annual institute in the Lititz High
School building on Saturday.
The following were the officers of
the Institute: President, Charles C.
Miller, of Itothsville; Vice President,
I. C. Mummert, of Lititz; Recording
Secretary, Miss Marion Biemesderfer,
of Kissel Hill; Corresponding Secre-tary,
Miss Anna K. Miller, of Lititz;
Treasurer, Miss Carrie Tschudy, of
Lititz.
The morning session opened with
devotions conducted by the Rev. G, W.
Imboden, D. D., of the United Evan-gelical
church. Mr. Charles C. Miller,
the president, made the opening re-marks.
Dr. H. Justin Roddy, of Millersyille
Normal ,School Department of Science,
addressed the upper grades and High
School section in the High School As-sembly
Room on problems in their
special departments. • One problem
was that of the lazy boy. The school
system is not elastic enough. The
children should be grouped according
to their ability and not according to
.grades. Personal contact does much
to solve many problems.- Pupils are
sometimes lazy because they have too
much work at home, or because home
conditions are unfavorable. A boy's
interest may be stimulated in geom-etry
if he is shown the practical side
of it. Given a good concrete founda-tion
progress is easy. One of the
teachers thought perhaps teachers did
not make enough allowances for their
pupils, expecting too much of them.
Pupils often dread reciting. They do
not answer well because they are
afraid to speak. Pupils also recite
poorly because their vocabulary is so
limited.
Prof. E. U. Aumiller, Assistant
County Superintendent, addressed the
Rural School section in the auditorium.
Among other problems discussed was
that of the teacher winning the favor
of pupils and patrons. A teacher can-not
live in a community any length of
time without making some enemies.
Afternoon Session
In the afternoon very practical dem-onstrations
were given of the work in
four of the grades. The Fourth
Grade, Miss Mary Grosch, teacher, had
good health exercises in the gymna-sium.
The Sixth Grade, Miss Margery
Enck, teacher, gave a class demonstra

Tit -,-e r r — _ x
On Thursday evening, Jan. 19th, the
Lititz Branch of the C. A .C. held its
annual election and banquet in the Lin-den
Hall Seminary gymnasium! It
was attended by young and old—Club
and Family members with their chil-dren
down to a little tot in a baby
carriage—about 175 in all.
The election was held first which re-sulted
in the following recommenda-tions
to the Board of Direcors:
For Assisant President and Board
Member, Aaron Hershey; For Assis-tant
Secretary, Kenneth Witmyer;
For Assistant Treasurer, James Sea-ber;
For Members of the Governing
Board: From the Wood Shop, Martin
Bisker; from the Wire Room and Mis-cellaneous
Depts., Tobias Erline;
From the Assembling Room, Ellis
Spickler.
At the close of the election all pre-sent
partook of a fine banquet in
charge of Caterer Charles B. Dussing-er,
and then the meeting was turned
over to the Toastmaster, Ellis Spick-ler,
who presided in a very able man-ner,
interspersing the toasts with a
fund of ready wit and humor. The
following toasts, etc., were responded
to:

Hackman's orchestra furnished the
music during the banquet and after
the toasts had been responded to, the
room was cleared and a number of thé
members stayed for a dance.
The whole affair was voted a grand
success, and we think the Social and
Entertainment Committees who had
it in charge are to be warmly congra-tulated.
The following was the menu: Roast
pork, potatoes, peas, bread and but-ter,
pickles, olives, cheese, saltines,
butter thins, peanut butter, sugar cake
and pretzles, ice cream, apples, grapes,
coffee.
Morris Cohen Heard From Home
Folks Who Will Soon Come to
America
Morris Cohen received a letter this
week from his father, a sister and a
brother, who live at Toloscin, Russia,
which was written four years ago, but
has received other letters in the inter-vening
time. Mr. Cohen's brother Abe,
of Ephrata, received a letter from the
same persons which was on the way
for seven years. Another sister re-sides
in Philadelphia.
The local man has filled out the
necessary papers, which have been
sentl on to the proper authorities at
Washingon, to have his father and
children enter this country. It is ex-pected
that they will arrive here in the
Spring, but it has not been decided
where they will make their home. The
father is fifty-two years old, the boy
seventeen and the girl fifteen. The
brother and sister, i t is planned, will
go to school in this country.
The letter which Mr. Cohen received
from Russia contained 100 stamps.
The cost of each stamp was 100 rubles,
or a total of 10,000 rubles. Before
the war a ruble was worth 50 cents in
American money, making the value of
the stamps at that time $5000. The
value now is about eighteen cents.
