VOL. XLYI LITITZ, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1922 NO. T EVENTS CONCISELY TOLI INTERESTING THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN TOWN AND VICINITY. The banks will be closed on election day, Nov. 7. Rabbit is the most popular dish in many families at this particular time. Application has been made for a charter for the proposed Lititz to Rothsville trolley road. Rarely do the leaves cling to the trees as long in the fall of the year as this year. The dry weather no doubt is the cause. Andrew M. Shissler, of this place, purchased a cottage at Mount Gretna, which he and his family will occupy next summer. Pfautz Bros, will have a demonstra-tion of the "Sunshine" Biscuits all day Saturday. Everybody coming to the store will be given a treat. Samuel Lane, Dr. C. E. Lane and U. S. Delp left on a hunting trip to Grantville, along the Blue Mountains. There are wild turkeys in that sec-tion. The new Star car exhibited in town for the first time by Frank Burkhold-er during the Community Show at-tracted a good crowd and many ques-tions were asked of the man in charge. On account of the Coalition parade and mass meeting to be held in Lan-caster Monday evening, Nov. 6, a special trolley car will leave Lititz at 7 p. m., and Lancaster at 11:30 p. m. P. B. Bucher returned from New York state, where he bought and packcd six carloads of apples. Harry Wolf and Lloyd Hoffman, of this place, helped him to pack. They were away three weeks. Hallowe'en was observed here by the younger element appearing on the streets in masquerade costumes. Con-fetti took the place of corn. There were a number of parties in town on that evening. The automobile exh'bit on North Broad street was a big attraction of the Community Show. Strings of colored elcctirc lights added a pretty touch to it. The exhibitors were well pleased. At the Lit:tz Community Show by selling refreshments the Lititz High School basket ball team cleared $32, the Senior class $60, and the Junior Chautauqua Boosters $40. The American Legion also did well. A baby boy was born to Mrs. Neidermyer, widow of the late Emory Neidermyer. The mother and child are at the Lancaster General Hospi-tal. The child has been named Robert Emory. The father died from the re-sult of an accident at Lititz. H. C. Reedy was at Maceville where he had charge of the singing for Rally Day services; also at Williamstown, Dauphin county, on Sunday, where Rally Day services were held. Mr. Reedy was at Williamstown five years ago conducting evangelistic singing. The hundredth anniversary of the Women's Missionary Society of the Moravian church will start with a series of meeting on Sunday, Nov. 5. Dr. James H. Franklin, of New York, will preach on that day. There will be special meetings on Tuesday, Wed-nesday, Thursday, and the following Sunday. Mrs Frank Burkholder opened her new restaurant on Friday. The spec-ial chicken and waffle supper made a hit and although twenty-five chickens were killed not all the persons who called could be accommodated. Other eating house and stores report doing a good business during the Commun-ity days. J. Alvin Enck had a successful demonstration with a radio outfit at the Warwick House on Saturday evening. An indoor aerial was used with the machine. With the aid of a horn the music was heard several hundred feet away. In was one of the best outfits brought to Lititz so far.

MAKE KNOWN PLANS TO PURCHASE CHEMICAL ENGINE Money to Make Purchase to be Taken From Treasury The purchasing of a chemical en-gine is the next thing on the program for Lititz Fire Company No. 1. At the last meeting, with over a hundred members in attendance, the fact was brought out that a good part of the purchase money was ready, the re-mainder to be raised by an indoor fes-tival this winter, so that the people of Lititz will not be solicited for this purpose. A chemical engine was under con-sideration for the past year, and with the clearing of a large amount of money at the last festival it will soon be a reality. The local company is making rapid strides in bettering the organization and at no time was more enthusiasm shown by the mem-bers.

It is a great privilege to hear them sing who for years have hidden their talent in the coal mines of Wales. Wales is a synonym for the best in music. Their musical fame has spread over the world and a musical treat is always assured in the appear-ance of a body of Welsh singers. In the Welsh Miners quintette the public realizes more than a pleasing ensem-ble of male voices. Each niember of the quintette is a soloist arid an in-strumentalist. Tickets for the above occasion will be on sale Wednesday, Nov. 8, at 8 a. m., at Scott's Book Store. Back from Deer Trip David Graybill, president of the Springs bank, returned from a hunt-ing trip in the northern part of New York state. There were eight gun-ners in the party, including two Lan-caster men. Eight deer were shot, two of them being eaten at camp dur-ing the eleven days they were there. While Mr. Graybill saw deer, as many as five together, he was not in a posi-tion to shoot. There were seven guides and a cook. They all slept in tents and had difficulty in keeping warm at night. Mr. Graybill says he thoroughly enjoyed himself and re-ceived a share of the meat. Building New Barn to Replace One Destroyed by Fire B. F Grosh started excavations for a new barn on his farm east of town to replace the one destroyed .by fire. The location will be further away from the railroad than the old barn. It will be one of the largest barns in the county. The ground floor will be 90 by 50 feet, with an eight foot fore-bay and two floors over the ground floor. There will be an addition 25 by 56 feet. There will be an angle roof of slate. The contract has not been given out yet for the construction. Sold Greenhouse C. S. Loeffler sold his greenhouse to Harry H. Girvin, of Christiana. The sale also includes a residence south of the greenhouse. He assum-ed charge at once. Mr. Girvin is an expert grower. He will be prepared to serve the public with a big variety of flowers. —You will find the newest and largest assortment of dry goods at Pfautz Bros. D1EHM STANDS HIS RECORD Candidate For Nomination To Legislature Urges Conser-vative Policies at Harris-burg SEES BIG TASK AHEAD —The NOVEMBER Victor Records are here. You should hear them. Come in and let us play them for you. —SCOTT'S BOOK STORE. The following article taken from the Examiner-New Era is not published at the solicitation of any partisan, but from the viewpoint of Mr. Diehm's con-structive and helpful service to the community he deserves com-mendation. Although never pushing himself forward his services are sought and advice asked in hundreds of things concerning the town and com-munity. In the heat of the poli-tical campaign it is well to con-sider these things from an un-selfish standpoint, and give him a vote that will encourage him. This last statement may be un-necessary because the town has always stuck by him in the past with a vote that ran ahead of the party ticket. If an ambitions newspaper reporter wants to go to Lititz for the express purpose of finding and seeing Hon. Graybill G. Diehm, even after a defin-ite appointment has been made, that same scribe will have to keep stepping from the time he lands in the borough of Moravian churches and toothsome pretzels until the very last minute of his stay. Graybill Diehm is a man of many parts and multifarious activ-ities, but once you have him nailed fast you get results right straight from the shoulder. It has been aptly said that if one wants to have anything done in Lititz "see Graybill Diehm," but there is one person that Mr. Diehm will not talk about and that same individual is Graybill G. Diehm. It is not to be understod that he is what members of the newspaper fraternity term "dis gustingly modest."There is a type of man who hides his light under a bush-el and then bores holes all over the thing that "men may see their good works" etc, but this is not the Diehm method. He actually does things, stands pat on what he has done and lets his word speak for itself, whether the opposition regard it as good, bad or indifferent. Mr. Diehm is among the forefront of the stalwart citizens of the north-ern end. To his credit it can be said that he is strictly self-made and he completed a thoroughly good job among a people who nave known him from boyhood He first saw the light of day in Penn township in the year 1880. His boyhood education was of the meagre sort and when he arrived at the mature age of 11 years he was apprenticed as a farm hand to Seth Graybill, with whom he absorbed the rudiments of farm for a period of two years. Two more years were served on the farm of Israel Graybill and still two more with Thad Biemesder-fer. These six years of hard work on the farm before the era of improve-ments Mr. Diehm today regards as among his most valuable assets and a priceless heritage. Studying day and night when not engaged in farm work Mr. Diehm qualified for the profession of teaching and his climb up the lad-der led the boy to the scholastic halls and for five years he set aright the minds and hearts of youngsters of his home locality. It was at this juncture that the late Israel G. Erb called Diehm*, to. Lititz as his assistant in his work of scre-ening, banking, business, surveying and affair generally. It was in this varied atmosphere that Diehm found himself and he proved that his vision was broad and comprehensive and that he was able to handle really big things definitely and with precision. It was not long before the borough of Lititz found him a valuable asset, for Diehm took off his coat right away and started to do things for the good of the town. In time he became a trustee of the Stiffel-Freeman Com-pany, safe manufacturers, Secretary- Treasurer and General Ganager of the Keystone Underwear Co., Inc., and then Chief Burgess of the town. His one hobby became the Young Men's Business League of Lititz, which he helped organize, and which now boasts of a hundred or more members. Dur-ing the war he pointed the way locally for the Liberty Loan drives, the Red Cross funds, the worK of the Y. M. C. A. and the matter of assembling the young men of the town for the serious side of the war. He was here, there and everywhere and no man did better work. While the foregoing is all true and correct to the best of our knowledge and belief it is not quite to the point in this issue. It has been set forth so the electors of this county might know another of the men with whom they have to deal at the election that is to come. This may or may not be necessary for Diehm has been tried before the court of public opinion over a period of four years; he has been tried and not found wanting. In the fall of 1919 his friends and neighbors believed that the time had come for Diehm to go to higher things. In that he had so well represented the community at home he could do equal-ly well in the council of the state and he was sent to the Legislature. Mr. Diehm is a disc ple of the con-structive in politics as is all else. He is not hide-bound nor traditional when he finds that it will impede progress. To the reporter who managed to get a few minutes with him one day be-tween his appointments at the Lititz bank, where he is a director, and at his own office of the Underwear Com-pany, he talked politics straight and to the point. "Yes, I'm a candidate," he said. "I'm for the people; they've got my best record. I've always tried to be constructive and always will be. The members of the Legislature should and must represent best inter-ests all the time; they must work for the people they represent, a public servant with a big mission. New conditions are to be met now, they are coming up all the time; we are in an era of adjustment following world events. What I and others do must be governed by what is to come and the men who are elected to the State Legislature this fall have a big job cut out for them. They now have a double constituency to represent each with paramount claims and of these they must ever be mindful. If there is such a thing as a definite policy it can only be basically constructive" Gunners Out for Rabbits Several hundred gunners left town yesterday, leaving the town quiet. Most of the pretzel bakeries were closed and there was a shortage of men in many of the other industries. Most of the gunners were on a one-day trip, returning in the evening. The weather was fine for the sport. The heavy frosts this fall have made the rabbits in prime condition for shooting. If the season is warm the animals are not in condition to kill and many of those shot have to be thrown away because of the rabbit worm. This pest imbeds itself under the skin of the animal and several heavy frosts are required to make the meat fit to eat. The season for rabbits will continue until Dec. 15, and for squirrels and pheasants until Nov. 30. Not more than five rabbits can be shot by one person in one day and not more than forty for the season. Squirrels are limited to six for one day and twenty for the season, and pheasants three for one day and six for the season. The killing of ringneck pheasants is barred in Lancaster county. Hunters came home convinced that there is no shortage in cottontails, but that they are "sitting in" at pre-sent and hard to find. Some reports of bags follow: Arlie Rader 3, George Evans 5, Frank Rader 4 and 2 birds, John Helter 5, Eugene Weidler, Wayne Longenecker and Lemon Furlow 10, Harry Wissler 4, James Sesseman 2, Edgar Strohm 3, Jacob Wissler 3, John Fralich 2, Dr. D. A. Long, Eugnene Long, John Bru-baker and Frank Buch 8. Coming Meetings The Y. P. B. will meet at headquar-ters on Monday, Nov. 6, at 7:30 p. m. Every member is expected to be pre-sent. The Linden Hall alumnae tea Will be held Saturday afternoon from 2 to 4 o'clock. ^ ¿oun q OrnTcm Last Saturday a sedan automobile was parked along Main street, which, upon be-ing observed on the inside, was found to contain a cus-pidor. Evidently the driver was a tobacco chewer and wanted things convenient for himself at least. A Ford sedan was seen with lace curtains. What a pity that not more members than the five from Lititz represented the Knights of Malta memorial services in the Malta Temple at Lan-caster last Sunday afternoon. The services were solemn and impressive and interest-ing throughout. There was an address by the pastor of the St. Paul's Reformed church, pretty ceremonies by the uniformed rank, calling of the roll of deceased com-panions, ceremonies of sor-row, singing by the Malta male chorus with Victor Wagner of Lititz as the solo-ist, besides the singing of popular and appropriate hymns by the audience. After being used with the exhibit of the Acme Metal Products Company at the Community Show on Satur-day a big bouquet of chry-santhemums, valued at $15, was given to Harry Gorton. On the way home he went to a confectionery store, leaving the flowers in a basket on the steps outside. He was inside only a minute but when he stepped out the flowers had vanished. Then the excite-ment began. There were all kinds of conjectures. One theory was that someone had played a trick on him. Then again they might have been whisked away by a passing automobilist or some one on foot. The town poh'ceman, as well as some citizens, aid-ed in the search. The last trolley car out of Lititz was watched, but all without as much as a trace of the flow-ers. At last, giving up all hope of finding them again, Harry went home about mid-night. To his great aston-ishment when he opened the door he saw the flowers in the dining room. The expla-nation is that Mrs. Gorton, passing the store, saw the flowers and took them home, thinking it would relieve her husband, who had other things to carry. Harry en-joys the joke as much as anyone. Aside from the fact that lime makes some crops grow bigger and better, did you ever stop to wonder if its effects went farther than just increasing yield's ? Did you know that the limestone in your fields in your fields affected your livestock, and even yourself and your fam-ily? From the standpoint of health, strength, and phys-ical growth. In every locality you can fine tall men and short men; f a t men and lean men; big-boned, muscular fellows and narrow-chested, slender ones. These variations can partly be explained by heredity, but nevertheless virgin limestone does tend to produce big-boned, broad-shouldered, well muscled men with large feet and hands. These same men, if they had been born and reared in an acid-soil envir-onment, would have been thinner boned, somewhat narrower shouldered, not so large and awkward, but lack-ing a part of their constitu-tional vigor. This is born out by scientists. Big foot-ball coaches find that men from lime-stone sections are bigger and stronger than those from non-lime-stone sections. ALMOST MIRACU-LOUS ESCAPE Explosion in Stone Quarry Three Feet Away From Daniel Williams An unexpected blast of rock at For-neys stone quarry, north of Lititz, knocked Daniel Williams of Lexing-ton, unconscious, last Thursday. He was only three feet away îroià the explosion, and aside from the effects of the concussion, his injuries are not serious. He is confined to the house from a strain of the leg caused by the concussion, and his hands are scratched from small flying stones. Big stones fell all around him, but he escaped them as there are no bruises on his body. It was intended to make three blasts at one time. He lighted the fuse for two of the charges. The wind extinguished the match when he was trying to light the third fuse. On account of the time limit he walk-ed away, believing the fuse did not catch fire. After the two charges went off he walked toward the re-maining fuse. He came within a short distance of it when there was an explosion. He was thrown uncon-scious to the ground. Dr. D. C. Mar-tin happened to come along the road and saw the accident. He took charge of the man. TRAVELERSHEARAND EAR COLUMN TO KEEP YOU IN TOUCH WITH OLD AND NEW NAMES SURPRISE FOR REV. WALTERS Given Royal Welcome at Pottstown A clipping taken from a Pottstown paper will be interesting to the friends of Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Wal-ters, who recently moved away from Lititz: . The pastor of Balizell United Breth-ren church, the Rev. J. M. Walters and wife, were given an agreeable surprise Thursday evening when members and friends of the church numbering about one hundred gath-ered at the home S. D. Brown, 457 Spruce street, and proceeded in a body to the parsonage, loaded down with good things to replenish the larder of the good pastor and wife. Although taken entirely by surprise, the pastor proved himself master of the situa-tion and the guests were soon made to feel at home. There was an inter-esting program given by members of the church and societies. Rev. Walters was recently appoin-ted to the Pottstown charge and has taken up his abode at the parsonage, 269 North York street. A social hour was enjoyed by many guests present and refreshments served. —When you think of "Gifts" you just naturally think of SCOTT'S BOOK STORE as the place to make your selection. Lititz Included in County League Plans An inter-county league meeting was held at Mt. Joy for the coming basket ball season. It was informally decid-ed to form a strictly Lancaster Coun-ty League, which would draw from the following towns: Lititz, Manheim, Mt. Joy, Millers ville, Akron, Ephrata, Marietta and Elizabethtown. This would eliminate the long trip necessi-tated by Lancaster teams when they played at such places as Steelton and Hershey. The competition would be keener and the expenses materially reduced. The formation of such a league was suggested at the close of the 1921- 1922 season and the various man-agers have given the matter consid-eration from time to time. Guy Hershey. and several others were represented at this meeting. Women's Republican Meeting There will be a meeting of the Republican women of Lititz, at the home of Mrs. Naomi S. Bomberger, corner South Broad and Orange streets, on Friday evening at 7 o'clock. All Re-publican women interested in the coming election are cordial-ly invited to attend. A promi-nent speaker from Lancaster will be present to address the ladies. Cheap Traveling Frank Longenecker stopped off here last week while hiking on his way from State College to New York to see his college team play football on Saturday. He made good time, hav-ing received lifts in automobiles most of the way. He is a son of Mrs. Mary Longenecker of this place. Parades at Lancaster The Republican party of the county will parade at Lancaster this Satur-day evening. There will be many bands in line.

Mr. Rohrer was the genial and popular motorman on the Lancas-ter and Lititz trolley line some years ago, but now and for a goodly num-ber of years is filling the same posi-tion on the Lancaster and Coatesville trolley line. Harry looks as well as ever and has a smile for all whom he knows and meets.

VOL. XLYI LITITZ, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1922 NO. T EVENTS CONCISELY TOLI INTERESTING THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN TOWN AND VICINITY. The banks will be closed on election day, Nov. 7. Rabbit is the most popular dish in many families at this particular time. Application has been made for a charter for the proposed Lititz to Rothsville trolley road. Rarely do the leaves cling to the trees as long in the fall of the year as this year. The dry weather no doubt is the cause. Andrew M. Shissler, of this place, purchased a cottage at Mount Gretna, which he and his family will occupy next summer. Pfautz Bros, will have a demonstra-tion of the "Sunshine" Biscuits all day Saturday. Everybody coming to the store will be given a treat. Samuel Lane, Dr. C. E. Lane and U. S. Delp left on a hunting trip to Grantville, along the Blue Mountains. There are wild turkeys in that sec-tion. The new Star car exhibited in town for the first time by Frank Burkhold-er during the Community Show at-tracted a good crowd and many ques-tions were asked of the man in charge. On account of the Coalition parade and mass meeting to be held in Lan-caster Monday evening, Nov. 6, a special trolley car will leave Lititz at 7 p. m., and Lancaster at 11:30 p. m. P. B. Bucher returned from New York state, where he bought and packcd six carloads of apples. Harry Wolf and Lloyd Hoffman, of this place, helped him to pack. They were away three weeks. Hallowe'en was observed here by the younger element appearing on the streets in masquerade costumes. Con-fetti took the place of corn. There were a number of parties in town on that evening. The automobile exh'bit on North Broad street was a big attraction of the Community Show. Strings of colored elcctirc lights added a pretty touch to it. The exhibitors were well pleased. At the Lit:tz Community Show by selling refreshments the Lititz High School basket ball team cleared $32, the Senior class $60, and the Junior Chautauqua Boosters $40. The American Legion also did well. A baby boy was born to Mrs. Neidermyer, widow of the late Emory Neidermyer. The mother and child are at the Lancaster General Hospi-tal. The child has been named Robert Emory. The father died from the re-sult of an accident at Lititz. H. C. Reedy was at Maceville where he had charge of the singing for Rally Day services; also at Williamstown, Dauphin county, on Sunday, where Rally Day services were held.

MAKE KNOWN PLANS TO PURCHASE CHEMICAL ENGINE Money to Make Purchase to be Taken From Treasury The purchasing of a chemical en-gine is the next thing on the program for Lititz Fire Company No. 1. At the last meeting, with over a hundred members in attendance, the fact was brought out that a good part of the purchase money was ready, the re-mainder to be raised by an indoor fes-tival this winter, so that the people of Lititz will not be solicited for this purpose. A chemical engine was under con-sideration for the past year, and with the clearing of a large amount of money at the last festival it will soon be a reality. The local company is making rapid strides in bettering the organization and at no time was more enthusiasm shown by the mem-bers.

Welsh Quintette Will be at Lititz The Welsh Miners quintette, fore-most musical organization of two con-tinents, will open the program of the Star Course of the Lititz High School Alumni in the High School auditor-ium on Friday evening, Nov. 10.

Their musical fame has spread over the world and a musical treat is always assured in the appear-ance of a body of Welsh singers. In the Welsh Miners quintette the public realizes more than a pleasing ensem-ble of male voices. Each niember of the quintette is a soloist arid an in-strumentalist. Tickets for the above occasion will be on sale Wednesday, Nov. 8, at 8 a. m., at Scott's Book Store. Back from Deer Trip David Graybill, president of the Springs bank, returned from a hunt-ing trip in the northern part of New York state. There were eight gun-ners in the party, including two Lan-caster men. Eight deer were shot, two of them being eaten at camp dur-ing the eleven days they were there. While Mr. Graybill saw deer, as many as five together, he was not in a posi-tion to shoot. There were seven guides and a cook. They all slept in tents and had difficulty in keeping warm at night. Mr. Graybill says he thoroughly enjoyed himself and re-ceived a share of the meat. Building New Barn to Replace One Destroyed by Fire B. F Grosh started excavations for a new barn on his farm east of town to replace the one destroyed .by fire. The location will be further away from the railroad than the old barn.

D1EHM STANDS HIS RECORD Candidate For Nomination To Legislature Urges Conser-vative Policies at Harris-burg SEES BIG TASK AHEAD —The NOVEMBER Victor Records are here. You should hear them. Come in and let us play them for you. —SCOTT'S BOOK STORE. The following article taken from the Examiner-New Era is not published at the solicitation of any partisan, but from the viewpoint of Mr. Diehm's con-structive and helpful service to the community he deserves com-mendation. Although never pushing himself forward his services are sought and advice asked in hundreds of things concerning the town and com-munity. In the heat of the poli-tical campaign it is well to con-sider these things from an un-selfish standpoint, and give him a vote that will encourage him. This last statement may be un-necessary because the town has always stuck by him in the past with a vote that ran ahead of the party ticket. If an ambitions newspaper reporter wants to go to Lititz for the express purpose of finding and seeing Hon. Graybill G. Diehm, even after a defin-ite appointment has been made, that same scribe will have to keep stepping from the time he lands in the borough of Moravian churches and toothsome pretzels until the very last minute of his stay. Graybill Diehm is a man of many parts and multifarious activ-ities, but once you have him nailed fast you get results right straight from the shoulder. It has been aptly said that if one wants to have anything done in Lititz "see Graybill Diehm," but there is one person that Mr. Diehm will not talk about and that same individual is Graybill G. Diehm. It is not to be understod that he is what members of the newspaper fraternity term "dis gustingly modest."There is a type of man who hides his light under a bush-el and then bores holes all over the thing that "men may see their good works" etc, but this is not the Diehm method. He actually does things, stands pat on what he has done and lets his word speak for itself, whether the opposition regard it as good, bad or indifferent. Mr. Diehm is among the forefront of the stalwart citizens of the north-ern end. To his credit it can be said that he is strictly self-made and he completed a thoroughly good job among a people who nave known him from boyhood He first saw the light of day in Penn township in the year 1880. His boyhood education was of the meagre sort and when he arrived at the mature age of 11 years he was apprenticed as a farm hand to Seth Graybill, with whom he absorbed the rudiments of farm for a period of two years. Two more years were served on the farm of Israel Graybill and still two more with Thad Biemesder-fer. These six years of hard work on the farm before the era of improve-ments Mr. Diehm today regards as among his most valuable assets and a priceless heritage. Studying day and night when not engaged in farm work Mr. Diehm qualified for the profession of teaching and his climb up the lad-der led the boy to the scholastic halls and for five years he set aright the minds and hearts of youngsters of his home locality. It was at this juncture that the late Israel G. Erb called Diehm*, to. Lititz as his assistant in his work of scre-ening, banking, business, surveying and affair generally. It was in this varied atmosphere that Diehm found himself and he proved that his vision was broad and comprehensive and that he was able to handle really big things definitely and with precision. It was not long before the borough of Lititz found him a valuable asset, for Diehm took off his coat right away and started to do things for the good of the town. In time he became a trustee of the Stiffel-Freeman Com-pany, safe manufacturers, Secretary- Treasurer and General Ganager of the Keystone Underwear Co., Inc., and then Chief Burgess of the town. His one hobby became the Young Men's Business League of Lititz, which he helped organize, and which now boasts of a hundred or more members. Dur-ing the war he pointed the way locally for the Liberty Loan drives, the Red Cross funds, the worK of the Y. M. C. A. and the matter of assembling the young men of the town for the serious side of the war. He was here, there and everywhere and no man did better work. While the foregoing is all true and correct to the best of our knowledge and belief it is not quite to the point in this issue. It has been set forth so the electors of this county might know another of the men with whom they have to deal at the election that is to come. This may or may not be necessary for Diehm has been tried before the court of public opinion over a period of four years; he has been tried and not found wanting. In the fall of 1919 his friends and neighbors believed that the time had come for Diehm to go to higher things. In that he had so well represented the community at home he could do equal-ly well in the council of the state and he was sent to the Legislature. Mr. Diehm is a disc ple of the con-structive in politics as is all else. He is not hide-bound nor traditional when he finds that it will impede progress. To the reporter who managed to get a few minutes with him one day be-tween his appointments at the Lititz bank, where he is a director, and at his own office of the Underwear Com-pany, he talked politics straight and to the point. "Yes, I'm a candidate," he said. "I'm for the people; they've got my best record. I've always tried to be constructive and always will be. The members of the Legislature should and must represent best inter-ests all the time; they must work for the people they represent, a public servant with a big mission. New conditions are to be met now, they are coming up all the time; we are in an era of adjustment following world events. What I and others do must be governed by what is to come and the men who are elected to the State Legislature this fall have a big job cut out for them. They now have a double constituency to represent each with paramount claims and of these they must ever be mindful. If there is such a thing as a definite policy it can only be basically constructive" Gunners Out for Rabbits Several hundred gunners left town yesterday, leaving the town quiet. Most of the pretzel bakeries were closed and there was a shortage of men in many of the other industries. Most of the gunners were on a one-day trip, returning in the evening. The weather was fine for the sport. The heavy frosts this fall have made the rabbits in prime condition for shooting. If the season is warm the animals are not in condition to kill and many of those shot have to be thrown away because of the rabbit worm. This pest imbeds itself under the skin of the animal and several heavy frosts are required to make the meat fit to eat. The season for rabbits will continue until Dec. 15, and for squirrels and pheasants until Nov. 30. Not more than five rabbits can be shot by one person in one day and not more than forty for the season. Squirrels are limited to six for one day and twenty for the season, and pheasants three for one day and six for the season. The killing of ringneck pheasants is barred in Lancaster county. Hunters came home convinced that there is no shortage in cottontails, but that they are "sitting in" at pre-sent and hard to find. Some reports of bags follow: Arlie Rader 3, George Evans 5, Frank Rader 4 and 2 birds, John Helter 5, Eugene Weidler, Wayne Longenecker and Lemon Furlow 10, Harry Wissler 4, James Sesseman 2, Edgar Strohm 3, Jacob Wissler 3, John Fralich 2, Dr. D. A. Long, Eugnene Long, John Bru-baker and Frank Buch 8. Coming Meetings The Y. P. B. will meet at headquar-ters on Monday, Nov. 6, at 7:30 p. m. Every member is expected to be pre-sent. The Linden Hall alumnae tea Will be held Saturday afternoon from 2 to 4 o'clock. ^ ¿oun q OrnTcm Last Saturday a sedan automobile was parked along Main street, which, upon be-ing observed on the inside, was found to contain a cus-pidor. Evidently the driver was a tobacco chewer and wanted things convenient for himself at least. A Ford sedan was seen with lace curtains. What a pity that not more members than the five from Lititz represented the Knights of Malta memorial services in the Malta Temple at Lan-caster last Sunday afternoon. The services were solemn and impressive and interest-ing throughout. There was an address by the pastor of the St. Paul's Reformed church, pretty ceremonies by the uniformed rank, calling of the roll of deceased com-panions, ceremonies of sor-row, singing by the Malta male chorus with Victor Wagner of Lititz as the solo-ist, besides the singing of popular and appropriate hymns by the audience. After being used with the exhibit of the Acme Metal Products Company at the Community Show on Satur-day a big bouquet of chry-santhemums, valued at $15, was given to Harry Gorton. On the way home he went to a confectionery store, leaving the flowers in a basket on the steps outside. He was inside only a minute but when he stepped out the flowers had vanished. Then the excite-ment began. There were all kinds of conjectures. One theory was that someone had played a trick on him. Then again they might have been whisked away by a passing automobilist or some one on foot. The town poh'ceman, as well as some citizens, aid-ed in the search. The last trolley car out of Lititz was watched, but all without as much as a trace of the flow-ers. At last, giving up all hope of finding them again, Harry went home about mid-night. To his great aston-ishment when he opened the door he saw the flowers in the dining room. The expla-nation is that Mrs. Gorton, passing the store, saw the flowers and took them home, thinking it would relieve her husband, who had other things to carry. Harry en-joys the joke as much as anyone. Aside from the fact that lime makes some crops grow bigger and better, did you ever stop to wonder if its effects went farther than just increasing yield's ? Did you know that the limestone in your fields in your fields affected your livestock, and even yourself and your fam-ily? From the standpoint of health, strength, and phys-ical growth. In every locality you can fine tall men and short men; f a t men and lean men; big-boned, muscular fellows and narrow-chested, slender ones. These variations can partly be explained by heredity, but nevertheless virgin limestone does tend to produce big-boned, broad-shouldered, well muscled men with large feet and hands. These same men, if they had been born and reared in an acid-soil envir-onment, would have been thinner boned, somewhat narrower shouldered, not so large and awkward, but lack-ing a part of their constitu-tional vigor. This is born out by scientists. Big foot-ball coaches find that men from lime-stone sections are bigger and stronger than those from non-lime-stone sections. ALMOST MIRACU-LOUS ESCAPE Explosion in Stone Quarry Three Feet Away From Daniel Williams An unexpected blast of rock at For-neys stone quarry, north of Lititz, knocked Daniel Williams of Lexing-ton, unconscious, last Thursday. He was only three feet away îroià the explosion, and aside from the effects of the concussion, his injuries are not serious. He is confined to the house from a strain of the leg caused by the concussion, and his hands are scratched from small flying stones. Big stones fell all around him, but he escaped them as there are no bruises on his body. It was intended to make three blasts at one time. He lighted the fuse for two of the charges. The wind extinguished the match when he was trying to light the third fuse. On account of the time limit he walk-ed away, believing the fuse did not catch fire. After the two charges went off he walked toward the re-maining fuse. He came within a short distance of it when there was an explosion. He was thrown uncon-scious to the ground. Dr. D. C. Mar-tin happened to come along the road and saw the accident. He took charge of the man. TRAVELERSHEARAND EAR COLUMN TO KEEP YOU IN TOUCH WITH OLD AND NEW NAMES SURPRISE FOR REV. WALTERS Given Royal Welcome at Pottstown A clipping taken from a Pottstown paper will be interesting to the friends of Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Wal-ters, who recently moved away from Lititz: . The pastor of Balizell United Breth-ren church, the Rev. J. M.

Lititz Included in County League Plans An inter-county league meeting was held at Mt. Joy for the coming basket ball season. It was informally decid-ed to form a strictly Lancaster Coun-ty League, which would draw from the following towns: Lititz, Manheim, Mt. Joy, Millers ville, Akron, Ephrata, Marietta and Elizabethtown. This would eliminate the long trip necessi-tated by Lancaster teams when they played at such places as Steelton and Hershey. The competition would be keener and the expenses materially reduced. The formation of such a league was suggested at the close of the 1921- 1922 season and the various man-agers have given the matter consid-eration from time to time. Guy Hershey. and several others were represented at this meeting. Women's Republican Meeting There will be a meeting of the Republican women of Lititz, at the home of Mrs. Naomi S.
