RECEPTION FOR
NEW PASTOR
Delightful Occasion on Monday Even-ing—
Pastors of the Different
Churches Spoke
Record Adv. Sold Two
Fertilizer
Carloads of
An advertisement in the Record,
advising farmers to save money by
buying on the co-operative plan from
the Lancaster County Potato Associa-tion,
resulted in the sale of two car-loads
of fertilizer, reported W. W.
Gibbel, president of the association.
No matter how good a proposition
may be it takes publicity to push it.
About four carloads of fertilizer will
be received at the Lititz freight yards
shortly.

Monday evening the congregation of
St. Paul's Lutheran church held a re-ception
for their new pastor, the Rev.
W. Raymond Sammel, who arrived on
Friday. Mrs. Sammel and child ar-rived
on Monday.
The Rev. F. A Weicksel, who play-ed
an important part in the merger of
St James church with St Paul's Luth-eran
church, had charge of the meet-ing
and a most delightful program
was rendered The Junior vested choir
under the direction of Mrs. Mary
Longenecker, sang the opening selec-tion
"Pilot Me, Oh Gracious Saviour."
Rev. Weicksel read the Scripture and
Rev. J. B. Baker, of Gettysburg, led
in prayer. Rev. Weicksel then wel-comed
Rev. Sammel and family.
Rev. E. S. Crosland, of the Moravian
church, the president of the Minis-terial
Association, spoke on the
"Church as the Greatest Institution
Upon Earth," and presented the greet-ings
of his denomination. Miss Mar-gie
Smith, a member of the Junior
choir, made the following address in
behalf of the choir: "The Junior Choir
wishes to extend a hearty welcome to
you, Rev. Sammel. We are a band of
forty boys and girls who love to sing.
Most of us have been singing in the
Jr. Choir since we left Mrs. Longe-necker's
2nd Grade Class in the Pub-lic
schools. About fifteen of us are
confirmed members of the church. We
will be glad to give the church any
service that you think we can do. Our
singing will be two part songs and
the hymns of the church. We hope
you will enjoy living in Lititz, and
that you will find work for us to do."
The Junor Choir then sang "Be not
afraid: Trust in the Saviour," solo by
Margaret Dussinger.
The Rev. H. R. Gibbel, of the Church
of the Brethren, was called upon and
spoke of "The Church's Need of Young
Blood" The Rev. G. W. Imboden, D.
D., brought the greetings of the Unit-ed
Evangelical church and spoke of
what was expected of a minister.
The Rev. J. M. Walters, of the United
Brethren church, spoke of "The Im-portance
and Responsibility of the
Minister of the Gospel. After an-other
selection by the choir the Rev.
J. B. Baker, D. D., of Gettysburg, who
was born and raised in Lititz, dwelt in
humorous fashion upon some pleasant
recollections of his native town.
The Rev. Sammel now responded to
the many kind words of greeting and
also spoke of the very kind manner in
which he had been received by his
members. The last speaker was Judge
Miller, of Gettysburg, the father of
Mrs. Sammel. The hymn, "Blest be
the tie" was sung in conclusion, after
which Rev. Sammel pronounced the
benediction. The whole congregation
then came forward and shook hands
with the new pastor and his wife.
Rev. W. Raymond Sammel was born
in Bedford, Bedford county, Pa., about
thirty years ago. He was educated in
the Bedford public schools. In the
spring of 1916 he graduated from Get-tysburg

Former Lititz Man's Interesting
Experience
HUNTING INDIAN RELICS
Four months of volun-tary
exi,le on a sand-swept
uninhabited island on the
Pacific, ninety miles off the
coast of California, is the ex-perience
of a former Lititz
resident in company with two
scientists. The island, cov-ered
with sand dunes, at
places swept bare, exposing
shells, petrified tree stumps
and human bones, in the days
of the early Spanish explor-ers,
was inhabited by great
numbers of Indians. Skele-tons
and relics, amounting to
a thousand pounds, were col-lected
and sent to New York
City by these men.
—Pfautz Bros, have added a mil-linery
department to their store.

Jacob G. Kemper, a native of Lititz
and a brother to Mrs. M. M. Souders
of West Main street, has seen much
of life since he left the old home
town. As traveler, gold prospector and
politician, he has had experiences
that would fill a book. Lately he was
with an exploring party on an un-inhabited
island off the coast of Cali-fornia
in search of Indian relics.
His first experience happened when
a mere boy. He started off to see
Texas. Answering an advertisement
for work he was shanghied, being
forced to work on the levees along the
Mississippi. Although his footwear
was taken from him he made his es-cape,
reaching New Orleans penniless.
By good luck he met a friend who was
a former scholar at the Lititz acad-emy.
Returning to Lititz after his
southern trip he took up a bookkeeping
course but the west called him and he
left for Bellingham, Wash. When the
gold craze struck Alaska he left for
that northern country as a miner and
prospector. He has since done pros-pecting,
living alone in a little cabin.
He was well thought of at Belling-ham,
holding county and city municipal
offices. His last visit here was eigh-teen
years ago.
His present work is evidently prov-ing
interesting, according to data
taken from the Catalina Island paper.
Left Island in February
The explorers comprised Prof. Ralph
Chidden, Mr. Arthur Taschenburger
and Mr. Kemper. The island is known
as San Nicholas, 12 by 18 miles in
dimension, uninhabited, and 90 miles
from the coast of California. They
were there from October to February,
living in tents. They were sent out by
the Museum of the American Indian,
Heye Foundation of New York City.
Mr. Kemper had charge of the camp.
Over three hundred complete skele-tons
were unearthed. In many of the
graves were found wampum, mortars
and pestles, fish-hooks, clam shell pen-dants,
haliotis shell oranments and
stone implements of many varieties.
During the four months they were
located on the island there were twen-ty-
five days of rain, eighteen of fog,
twenty-four cloudy, twenty-seven with
wind at a velocity of over twenty miles
an hour, forty-one clear days and
eight partly cloudy. On the foggy
days it was almost impossible to find
the way back to camp after a hunting
expedition. So fierce were the winds
that at times they were obliged to
wear heavy goggles to prevent the
sand injuring their eyes.
On this expedition were found fish
hooks that were almost three inches
long. The Indians undoubtedly used
these fish hooks when fishing from
their canoes, or from the reefs, by
moving the hook rapidly thru the
water, the shell hook acting similarly
to the spoon of today.
It was Prof. Chidden's opinion that
at one time there were from five to ten
thousand. Indians on the islands.
Ninety-seven large mounds were
found. Over a thousand pounds of
curios were shipped to the New York
museum. The trip to and from the
island was made on a launch. During
the four months of exile none of the
men had shaved, and each of them had
a crop of whiskers resembling a Si-berian
Russian.

_ J r p m c i Ourlcwi Housewives should prepare
their jelly glasses and fruit
jars in anticipation of a busy
season before them, accord-ing
to some of the largest
fruit growers. The recent
snows have demonstrated,
they claim, that this will be a
bountiful fruit year. The
fruit growers can give no
other explanation for their
optimistic view other than
the snow and sleet have a
tendency to kill the pests
which usually are located un-der
the bark of a tree. Many
of these cannot be seen with
the naked eye, but in a sea-son
they do thousands of dol-lars'
worth of damage.
BUILDING BOOM
EXPECTED S
Big Drop in Price of Building
Material
BUILD HOME FOR $2500
Being a logical centre the
post office is conveniently lo-cated.
By the recent sale of
this site to the Farmers Na-tional
Bank Uncle Sam will
have to look for other quar-ters
within a few years. By
all means the post office
should be kept in central part
of town. It would be a fine
thing if it could be moved into
the bank building when vaca-ted.
It could readily be adapt-ed
for this purpose, providing
an attractive looking post
office, which citizens could
point to with pride. We be-lieve
it would meet the ap-proval
of the citizens. The
lease of the present building
to the Government expires
April, 1923.
With the warm weather of
Monday "Dad" Woomert was
seen with his fishing outfit
packed in a satchel, ready'to
go to the creek. At this time
of the year, tde days that are
growing longer and the ad-ded
warmth of the rays of
sunshine, make the veteran
fishermen restless for sucker
fishing.
The fish, strange as it may
seem, never bite, no matter
how warm the weather is,
until all the snow water has
drained out of the streams.
A warm rain following these
conditions is one of the best
things that could happen.
While suckers are more
plentiful than any other kind
of fish in the East, yet the
angler in order to make a
good showing must know
their habits
When will a building boom start in
Lititz ? Shortly, is the opinion of a
local contracting firm. There is more
substantial talk now and planning for
building operations for the coming
summer than for some years. People
held off, fearing a panic; now they
feel that the bottom has been reached.
Building material is as low as it will
go, builders feel assured. High freight
rates are the drawback. It frequent-ly
happens that thj freight costs are
more« than the lumber. A tobacco shed
was recently built near Lititz. The
freght cost was as much as the lum-ber.
If it were not for the high freight
rates some classes of lumber would be
selling cheaper than any time within
the past fifteen years. Frame lum-ber,
which sold at $65 during the war
now can bet bought in Lititz for $35.
The lumber for interior furnishing has
not made such a big drop. Glass has
dropped about 40% and some grades
50%. Building hardware took a drop
of 50% over war time prices. Paints
show a 30% decline. Oil that sold for
$2.40 now is selling for $1.10. Roof-ing
material of the steel class can be
bought 30% cheaper, paper roofing
20% lower There is not much of a
drop in shingles and slate.
Bricks have dropped only 10%, the
high cost of coal holding up the price.
It takes a ton of coal to manufacture
1000 bricks. Cement blocks show a
slight decline. A 25 cent block can
now be bought for 23 cents. Outside
of the cement it is a home product.
The drop corresponds to the drop in
cement. Cement which brought $20
for 2000 pounds is now $14.
The price for skilled carpenters is
50 cents an hour against 60 cents dur-ing
the war. The price for unskilled
work is $3 a day.
A frame house that would have cost
$3500, a low average, during the war
can be built at the present time for
$2,500, a saving of $1000. The high
freight rates are the only thing that
interferes with pre-war prices in build-ing.
There is no sign that freight
rates will drop for a long time.
Farmer's Bank Buys
Site To Build
The most important real
estate deal in Lititz for a
long time was the sale of the
post office building, owned by
the Brobst heirs, to the
Farmers National Bank. The
land has a frontage of 46
feet, including beside the
three-story building, the pri-vate
driveway on the east.
The terms are private. The
depth is 203 feet and has a
width of 66 feet on North
Alley. In the course of sev-eral
years a modern bank
building will be erected on
the site.
The stable in the rear will
be torn down and the space
used for a public parking
place for automobiles and
teams. Comparing the num-ber
of persons passing the
site with any other place in
town it is the best located
place in Lititz. The contem-plated
new building will add
to the appearance and pres-tige
of the town, proving that
the town is moving forward
and that its business men are
progressive.

Chicken thieves were not successful
when they visited the home of Charles
Vollertsen last Sunday night. Mrs.
Vollertsen's brother was at home and
was prepared to meet the invaders

fired several shots and they were glad
to leave the premises.
Rev. Slichter's Talk Interested Farm
Women
A very interesting talk on Fidelity
was given by Rev. E. M. Slichter, pas-tor
of the Evangelical church at
Brownstown, at the meeting of Farm
Women's Society No. 1, held Satur-day
afternoon at he home of Mrs. J.
H. Reitz at Millway.
Fidelity he said is alike in calm or
storm and is not afraid of unjust criti-cism.
An illustration was given of a
man, despised in the community be
cause of some fake report. One day
he went to a society meeting which
was held in the neighborhood; when
he was there folks began to turn their
backs toward him, but the president
of the Society showed her fidelity to-ward
the man by allowing him to
speak and explain to the folks the rea-son
for the false report of himself in
the community.
The speaker emphasized the impor-tance
of fidelity to each other in a so-ciety
of this kind.
He also emphasized the extreme im-portance
of fidelity to God.
A piano solo was given by Miss
Jennie Lorah. Several selections were
given by a quartette.
The Society voted to give $5.00 to
the Lincoln Sheetz relief fund and to
take up a special collection for the
same cause.
The next meeting will bet held at the
•home of Mrs. Walter Earhart, Roths-ville,
April 1, 1922.
LITITZ TO HAVE
BIG WAREHOUSE
The Lititz Farm Products Associa-tion
met in the Lititz Fire Engine room
on Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock.
In the absence of President Hack-man,
the members called Mr. J. B.
Bucher, of Lititz, to be chairman of
the meeting. The first item of busi-ness
was the reading of the charter
which the association received last
week. The charter was read, and, on
motion, was adopted.
Next in order was the reading of
the by-laws, which were placed on file
for action and adoption at their next
meeting.
J. B. Wissler, Esq., solicitor of the
Association, gave some explanation of
some sections of the by-laws which
comply with acts of the Assembly of
the Commonwealth as well as Federal
legislation.
Secretary E. H. Hershey read a com-munication
from the United States
Department of Agriculture concerning
the inspection of the warehouses, giv-ing
time when their inspector will be
on hand to inspect the warehouses,
and authorizing the association to go
ahead and start their work of packing
when ever they are ready.
Treasurer H. H. Bomberger, of
Lititz, gave the following statistics of
the work done by the association thus
far: They have 400 cases contracted
for packing; last week they received
70,000 pounds and packed 75 cases;
they have now 18 tons in bulk, which
will be ready for packing this week;
they have made arrangements for
three warehouses and with the pre-sent
prospects they will have probably
from 800 to 1,000 acres to pack. The
meeting was a very enthusiastic one,
and proves that the farmers around
Lititz are taking a very active part
in the association.
Near Pine Hill Frank Kline will
have public sale on March 18. Many
articles to be offered recall the days of
a hundred years ago, among them a
spinning Jenny, a sword, used in
battalion gatherings; chest with secret
drawer, buffalo robe, old-fashioned
sleigh bells. In the days of long ago
secret drawers took the place of safe-ty
deposit boxes, the spinning Jenny
kept the women folks busy spinning,
the battalion furnished amusement if
not much military training, and the
sleigh bells and buffalo robe conjure
pictures of the old-fashioned winters.
A farm in that time was indepen-dent
of the rest of the world. The re-mains
of an old brick kiln are seen on
this Pine Hill farm, from which the
brick house there was built. The
farmer took wheat to the mill and had
it made into flour. He grew his flax
and turned it into linen on his own
farm. Also on the Kline farm there
remains an old still. No persons kill-ed
by "hooch" and no officers of spy
around.
Mr. Kline remembers that his
grandfather conducted the farm, dy-ing
when 82 years old. His father
was the successor and lived to be 81
years old. Mr. Kline is 69 years old
and his son Harvey is now in charge.
Mrs. Peter Killian, of Pottstown,
visited among her many friends in her
old home town last week.

quarries at Lime Rock, will install a
big new boiler at the plant as soon as
it is possible to place it in position.
The demand for the Ramoth lime-stone
products has been so heavy late-ly
that increased facilities are re-quired,
and the output will be increas-ed
as soon as possible to supply the de-mand.
The company manufactures
fine grades of disinfecting lime, as well
as that used for fertilizer and other
more common uses.
