XLVI MIS CONCISELY TOLD INTERESTING THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN TOWN AND VICINITY. A baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Jasqp Groff at Rome on Mon-day. H a r r y Crall was taken to the Lan-caster General Hospital for treat-ment. The McQuate and Steffy families will have reunions on the Spring grounds on Saturday. The Churchtown band will play here on Saturday evening on the Springs hotel lawn. —A reward is offered for the re-t u r n of a pair of shell-rimmed glasses to the Record office. According to Bear's almanac, the longest day was on Tuesday, 19th inst., and summer commences on the 22nd inet. Howard Young has been appointed a member of the Lititz Board of Health in place of his f a t h e r , the late J. B. Young. Samuel Sheaffer, formerly of New s t r e e t , was recently operated upon at t h e Lancaster General Hospital. He is recovering nicely. John McCloud, who was employed a t Linden Hall Seminary for about two years, will discontinue there on t h e first of July. Helen Showers, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Showers, had her tonsils removed at the Lancaster General Hospital on Wednesday. The Moravian Ushers' Association •will hold their annual outing a t Lake Grubb, near Silver Spring, on Thurs-day, June 28. They have been going t h e r e annually the past four years. Willis Gochenour, who conducted a store on Broad street at this place, moving to Lancaster some months ago, opened a grocery and dry goods store at the corner of East King and Ann streets, in t h a t city. The American Stores Company secured a contract to supply Louella b u t t e r for the U. S. navy. It made t h e highest test in strong competi-tion. This is the same butter sold at t h e store at this place. The short stretch of road from Clayton Brubaker's farm east of town is being rebuilt as a state road to the borough limits and this much-used highway needs it by all means. That short stretch of road is closed. The Record erred in an item in last week's issue. We referred to War-ren Enek, of Biglersville, Adams coun-ty, who makes a specialty of fruit growing. Instead of him having an apple ©rehard of 5 acres it should have been 25 acres, which is a mater-ial difference. Chocolate dust in the large venti-lator ou the roof over the roasting department at the Ideal factory caught fire last Friday morning. I t was extinguished by employees at t h e factory. Flames shot out of the •ventilator. It was the thirteenth time the Lititz fire company was called eut since January. L i t i t a Fire Company won $140 in prize money at New Holland on Sat-u r d a y m competition with seven com-panie— first prize of $100 for the best appearing company, and $40 to t h e company having the l a r g e s t num-ber of men in line. Lititz had seven-ty- one waiformed men out of a pos-sible 100. Lititz marched well as Msuak They were awarded five prize«, lw*t were allowed only two. LITITZ AUTO WRECKED NEAR LANCASTER Henry Hershey Had Face Cut— Others Injured Five persons were injured, includ-ing Henry Hershey of this place, when a Willys-Knight Sedan, owned by Rev. J. W. G. Hershey of Lititz, overturned near Rocky Springs Park at 11 o'clock Sunday night. The top is badly wrecked and most of the glass panes were broken. The car was brought back to Lititz with its own power. Henry Hershey was lacerated about the face, six stitches being required to close the biggest cut. He with the other five occupants were taken to the General Hospital by passing automobiles. The others who were t r e a t e d at the hospital for minor in-juries were: Miss Violet Gunnion, 20 North Queen street, Lancaster, a possible f r a c t u r e of the left ankle, and lacerations of the face; Miss Mary Metzger, 558 Pershing avenue, Lancaster, lacerations of face and arm. John Mowry, 219 East New street, Lancaster, was driving the car. He was pinned underneath the car and was released by passers-by. He es-caped with slight injuries. According to the version of one of the p a r t y an attempt was made to pass around a car in the front. One of the wheels struck a bad hole in the road, throwing the car on the side. Rev. Hershey, the owner of the car, l e f t on a trip to Canada with his wife, and from there will go to the Pacific, and will be away six weeks. The car is now at Burkholder's gar age. THESE LAZY BOYS Tell me not in mournful numbers That a lad is bound to fail, J u s t because his morning slumbers Make his daddy raise a gale. Why, that daddy when a laddie, Made his daddy do the same, And his daddy's daddy's daddy Also played the possum game. This is not a new invention, This is old as Adam's race, And in spite o f , a l l contention, Is no herald of disgrace. Why, I know a superintendent Of a corporation now, Who was once a joint-attendant On a clumsy, dreamy cow. Nine his f a t h e r had provided, Eighteen milkings every day, These with sister he divided, In the goo<$, old-fashioned way. Four apiece they milked unaided, As if carrying out a vow, But the ninth one found them jaded, Each but milked a half a cow. Never did they cheat each other, Never was the line-fence Grossed, She protected well her brother, He his sister without cost. Ah, they always were past masters, These young goslings in our nest, To avoid the great disasters, Over-work and under-rest. So you might as well quit scowling, Save -your lungs and throat and nose, For they'll not rise at your growling, If you yell till Gabriel blows. They just need more rest than you do, If they didn't, the'cl be up, So instead of playing hoodso, Eat your b r e a k f a s t and shut up. —JOE BAKER. State Road Thru Lititz Awaits Governor's Approval The proposed State road from Lancaster to Brickerville, a pet measure of Representative Diehm, of this place, for the past four years, passed through the Senate during the last day of session and is awaiting the signature of Governor Pinchot to make it a reality. Diehm never lost a chance in working for this measure and pressed his opportunity through an omnibus bill, by which each county will be given state aid for one road. Diehm had «the assurance for some time that he would be given support as the road had a logical claim and the fact was not over-looked that Lititz had no state road passing through its confines. Diehm was called upon to appear before the conference qommittee and his plans met with no opposition, and when the bill came back to the House for any possible amendments it went through as first proposed. Mr. Diehm called on the Governor since the bill is in his hands. He was given a cordial audience but the chief executive would not commit himself. If approved wonk will start on the road in two years. "If the Governor vetoes it," Mr. Diehm was asked, "would you work on the bill at the next session?" "Ac-cording to the almost unanimous vote, the measure is sure to be The road would be maintained by the state. RECORD Of all forms of advertising known to man—nothing has yet been found as space in the home paper. LITITZ, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 21, 1923 NO. 39 $100 in Cash to The Readers of The Lititz Record 'Educational Contest," Consisting of a Full Page of Advertising, Starts In This Week's Issue SUCCESSFUL CONTESTANTS TO BE' AWARDED PRIZES Find the Missing Word and Earn Money—Rules of Contest—To Continue 13 Weeks Teday—elsewhere in this issue—a most interesting feature s t a r t s The "Educational Contest," for both young and old. the Lititz Record is going to reward all successful contestants—those who WORK—and ACHIEVE; and divide $100.00 in cash prizes among them. , The "Educational Contest" consists of a full page of adver-t i s i n g which will appear once each week for the next 13 weeks. Watch for it! Each week the vast army of readers of the Record will have a chance to read on these pages of advertising the names of merchants and business people who are striving hard to serve you and serve you well. CONDITIONS OF CONTEST The conditions of the contest are simple. No one but those mentioned in another p a r a g r a p h is barred f r om entering the con-t e s t No Tfs" or "Ands" about it. Some one will win the big cash prizes. WHY NOT YOU? The "Educational Contest" is for young and old. Immediate-ly a f t e r the 13th full page ads have appeared judges will decide the winners and the big cash prizes will be distributed to them as a reward for their effort. Read conditions in another column ot this issue. Then we would say to every boy and girl "Drop her in high, and t r a m p on the gas." Boys and girls of one thing be sure, t h a t the f ew years t h a t are ahead of you hold g r e at possibil-ities for those who now have little, but your responsibilities will increase and keep increasing. Idleness begets idleness and pois-ons the brain. Keep pepped up, and over the top you'll go in true L i t i t z fashion. An entertaining and interesting f e a t u r e is this "Educational Contest." It consists of a full page of advertising, found else-where in this issue, which will be r u n for the next 13 consecutive weeks. This "Educational Contesst" should be read each week and followed by every one of the Record's large army of readers. This f e a t u r e page, of course, offers splendid advantages to the merchants and businessmen as an advertising medium, but the "Educational Contest" also offers an interesting proposition to our many readers, for the reason that by careful reading each and every week they will each have an opportunity to compete f o r the purses of money which are offered as prizes, and which go to those who are successful in finding all of the most of the omitted words in the 13 weeks. On the contest page, the Editor has intentionally omitted ONE WHOLE WORD from ONE ADVERTISEMENT ONLY The word omitted this week begins with the letter g and ends with the letter d. This one word being omitted makes the sentence read gramatically wrong. Now, in order to find the word, the reader must read carefully every ad on t h e "Educational Contest" page, and when a sentence is found in which a wor d is omitted the missing word must be supplied. The cue to finding the miss-ing words each week will be found in the rules located on the coupon blank, found elsewhere in this issue. When you are sure you have found the missing- word, fill out the r e t u r n blank with the answer. Be sure to write your name and address plainly, and sign your r e t u r n blank the same each week. , As an illustra-tion, if you sign your name the first week, "Mrs. J . H. Jones," and your next blank comes in "Mrs. Mary Jones," there will be no way of determining that both replies belong to the same party. Send all replies to Contests Editor, care of this paper. In order to be counted, replies of missing words for previous weeks must be in this office by 6 o'clock Wednesday night of each week. Letters postmarked as being mailed at that time will be accepted. Each Thursday a f t e r the missing word for the week previ-ous have been announced, the original copies, containig all the words, are on exhibit in the Record office. . The only persons barred from entering the contest are the employees of this office, or any one connected with the working force of the Record. AdvertiaeTs and their families have the privilege to participate. It is fine concentrating exercise. The $100.00 in cash to be given away to the successful con-t e s t a n t s , a r e listed with the rules shown on the Contest Coupon on another page. The readers should not give up if unable to find the missing word any week, but should keep t r y i n g until the close of the contest, for it is not believed t h a t any one person will find all the missing words during the 13 weeks. The prizes will go to those finding the most of the missing words—one each week for the next 13 weeks. So you will very easily be repaid for your time and efforts, if you find several of the 13 missing words. The publisher of the Record will not be responsible to any advertiser if the reading of advertisements is not exactly as pre-pared or handed to us, as on the missing wards depends the suc-cess of this contest. Whether the copy is prepared by the adver-t i s e r or in our office, in either ease another copy is made, and the correct copy secretly filed, while the other copy with the missing words eliminated without any identification of them having ap-peared on the copy will go to the workrooms, so no one but the Record will know what have beep cut from the advertisements each week. No envelopes properly addressed to the Contest Editor, "Educational Contest," care of Lititz Record, Litite, Pa., will be opened until the completion of the contest. If you do not ad-dress your envelopes properly, as above, and the same i s opened in t h e Record office, along with other mail matter not marked for identification, the publisher of the Record will not be responsible or is to be held accountable if your letter is opened. However, should contestants fail to observe the proper addressing and iden-tification rules it will not bar anyone f r om participating, as let-t e r s opened will be marked, and the judges (who will be announc-ed later) will then know by the markings t h a t it was your f a u lt and not the publisher's. Remember, answer blanks will be count-ed whether in sealed or unsealed envelopes; or you can hand or send the answer blanks by person to the Record office. You can fill out only one answer blank each week in the same name, and only the blanks found in the columns of the Record, will count. In case of more than one contestant entitled to prizes having t h e same number of correct answers, the money will be equally divided. Clip the answer blanks from your own newspaper, get the blanks from your neighbor's copy. See that the blanks of the previous week, properly filled out, reach the Record office no later than 6 o'clock Wednesday night of each week. For instance answer blanks of this issue, June 21, are void a f t e r 6 o'clock Wed-nesday night, June 27, 1923. Each Thursday for the next 13 weeks the missing word in the advertisements on the "Educational Contest" page of the pre-vious week will also ba published in these columns, so t h a t our readers «am see just where the word was omitted. "Song of Thanksgiving" Cantata by J. H. Maunder Given by . St. Paul's Reformed choir, Lancaster, and the Moravian choir, Lititz, on Tuesday evening, June 26th, at 8 o'clock in St. Paul's Reform-ed church, Lancaster, and in the Moravian church, Lititz, on Thursday evening, June 28th, at eight o'clock. Soloists—Miss Emily Nut- •to, soprano; Mrs. Harry C. Kuntz, contralto; Mr. E. K. Savage, tenor; Mr. Victor Wagner, bass. Miss Bessie T. Gingrich, • director; Miss Viola Leib, organist. Silver offering will be l i f t e d. Rev. Crosland in Philadelphia Hospital Rev. E. S. Crosland l e f t on Monday f o r the Misericordia Hospital, Phila-delphia, suffering with a nervous breakdown. He is under the atten-tion of two specialists. He will need a complete rest. The Pool The swimming pool, offered f r e e to the borough council, needs^ cleaning and it does not drain itself, but if the borough council will accept the acre of ground upon which the pool is and fill it up until it drains itself, a very nice wading pool can be had with lit-tle expense, then the children could enjoy themselves at that place dur-ing these hot summer days. I hope t h a t for the benefit of the children this offer will be accepted. I can already hear the merry laugh-t e r of the little tots who would enjoy a splash in the waters for years to come. If the town continues to grow the next twenty-five years as it has done in the past twenty-five years the east-end will be built up with houses. Would not this acre of land with a wading pool, a stream of water flow-ing through, shade trees, a number of swings and see-saws, make a beau-t i f u l place for the children? How could we give them a more healthy place? I offer this plot of ground to the borough for the children's enjoyment and if at anytime they feel that a white elephant was handed to them, t h e y will have no trouble at all to hand it back to me again. B. F. LUTZ Reasons Why Tax Payer Does Not Favor Lititz Swimming Pool Lititz, Pa., June 18, 1823 Editor Lititz Record: At your and the Boro Council's in-vitation I wish to express myself in r e g a r d to Council's taking- over Lutz's Swimming Pool. I say don't, for. several very good reasons. F i r s t , the grounds are entirely too small for a public park, being only about three-fourths of an acre. You can not confine a bunch of active kids in so small a place. While Mr. Lutz was running it the kids were continulaly trespassing on other peo-ples' property and were out on- the public street. In the second place the natural water supply is entirely too small to keep the pool in the required sani-t a r y condition. In the third place, what little water is secured is gotten by damming the water back on our property, other-wise it will not run into the pool. We allowed it thus f a r but will not allow it hereafter. You might of course use boro water but I feel sure if you look into the m a t t e r thoroughly you will conclude t h e Lutz pool is not worth the ex-panse it will take to run it. Yours sincerely, j . w . BRUCKART: The Last of the Strawberry Crop Strawberies have passed the peak of production. While they were f a i r - ly plentiful, the quality has been g r e a t l y impaired by the dry weather and they are, in size, greatly inferior to those of a year of normal weather conditions. Housewives took the ad-vice of growers and made quantity purchases for preserving purposes. They are selling at 18 to 20 cents t h i s week. Cherries are abundant but still bringing good prices. New peas are plentiful. More r a in is needed for vegetation or thé present plentifulness win give way to scarcity. Attention, American Legion All members are invited to the motion picture theatre on Tuesday, June 26, at 8 p. m., when the Woman's Auxiliary will entertain by showing the national convention film and other pictures. Also have a good speaker. They will entertain neigh-boring auxiliaries as well. Dtfn't f o r g e t , we want to show them we're alive. Some years ago the f r e i g h t depot was moved f r om the chocolate factory building to temporary quar-t e r s in f r e i g h t cars across the street f r om the factory. Then a warehouse was built on Water street and for al-most a year has been in use. Yet in spite of all these changes, which were spoken about f r om time to time and published in the newspapers, a Lititz man came to the former shipping point at the chocolate factory to see if any freight had arrived for him. No, we do not know who the man was but if you don't believe it, ask Clyde Keller who talked to him when he came there. By force of habit one often enjoys things -without stop-ping to think of their con-cenience. Probably in no town or state outside of- L i t i t z is ice water provided f r e e on the street. While it is patronized f r e e l y yet few ever give it a thought. To automobilists who stop off a t tke fountain f o r a drink of f r e s h iced water it seems more of a novelty and they o f t e n express themselves with, "Isn't it wonderful w a t e r . " In many cities spring water is sold by the bottle and one supplies the ice. However, when away f r om L i t i t z and, one is forced to '' drink inferior water, then t h e mind goes back to the good old Lititz water from t h e well t h a t never runs dry. Fact is, there are times when you would pay a dollar j u s t for a cup of the cooling water as you Knew it es-pecially at places where t h e r e is nothing but sulphur water. __ Jppun>„ OiirTcwn The Cicada, better known as the seventeen year locust, is not supposed to appear in t h i s area. This section was visited by the seventeen year locust in 1919 and will ap-pear again in 1936. How-ever there are exceptions and in the hills north .of here t h e r e are strips that abound with the 1923 brood and their calls of Pharaoh make t h e woods ring. Dr. C. E. Lane, of this place, while on a trip to Mt. Hope, counted sixty-four locust to a square yard. The female punctures a tender twig and lays her eggs in the opening. The eggs can be seen with a magnifying. glass. With several of these punctures in a space of a few inches, the twig is weakened and in sev-eral months falls to the ground. The young emerge and burrow down, attaching themselves to the roots of the trees and getting sub-stance f r om the sap. Another thing of interest which the Lititz man saw at t h e hills was a nest of young t u r k e y buzzards. The young ones which he saw stood a foot high and the f e a t h e r s were pure white. However, they are objects not to be fondled, as there is a disagreeable stench around the nests, as the result of the parent birds feeding on . T R A V E L E R S N E A R A l Fi COLUMN TO KEEP YOU IN TOUCH WITH OLD AND NEW NAMES 1924 Chautauqua Assured for Lititz When Chautauqua came to a close here on Monday evening there were 101 guarantors on the list for the 1924 chautauqua, guaranteeing its coming here next season.

XLVI MIS CONCISELY TOLD INTERESTING THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN TOWN AND VICINITY. A baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Jasqp Groff at Rome on Mon-day. H a r r y Crall was taken to the Lan-caster General Hospital for treat-ment. The McQuate and Steffy families will have reunions on the Spring grounds on Saturday. The Churchtown band will play here on Saturday evening on the Springs hotel lawn. —A reward is offered for the re-t u r n of a pair of shell-rimmed glasses to the Record office. According to Bear's almanac, the longest day was on Tuesday, 19th inst., and summer commences on the 22nd inet. Howard Young has been appointed a member of the Lititz Board of Health in place of his f a t h e r , the late J. B. Young. Samuel Sheaffer, formerly of New s t r e e t , was recently operated upon at t h e Lancaster General Hospital. He is recovering nicely. John McCloud, who was employed a t Linden Hall Seminary for about two years, will discontinue there on t h e first of July. Helen Showers, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Showers, had her tonsils removed at the Lancaster General Hospital on Wednesday. The Moravian Ushers' Association •will hold their annual outing a t Lake Grubb, near Silver Spring, on Thurs-day, June 28. They have been going t h e r e annually the past four years. Willis Gochenour, who conducted a store on Broad street at this place, moving to Lancaster some months ago, opened a grocery and dry goods store at the corner of East King and Ann streets, in t h a t city. The American Stores Company secured a contract to supply Louella b u t t e r for the U. S. navy. It made t h e highest test in strong competi-tion. This is the same butter sold at t h e store at this place. The short stretch of road from Clayton Brubaker's farm east of town is being rebuilt as a state road to the borough limits and this much-used highway needs it by all means. That short stretch of road is closed. The Record erred in an item in last week's issue. We referred to War-ren Enek, of Biglersville, Adams coun-ty, who makes a specialty of fruit growing. Instead of him having an apple ©rehard of 5 acres it should have been 25 acres, which is a mater-ial difference. Chocolate dust in the large venti-lator ou the roof over the roasting department at the Ideal factory caught fire last Friday morning. I t was extinguished by employees at t h e factory. Flames shot out of the •ventilator. It was the thirteenth time the Lititz fire company was called eut since January. L i t i t a Fire Company won $140 in prize money at New Holland on Sat-u r d a y m competition with seven com-panie— first prize of $100 for the best appearing company, and $40 to t h e company having the l a r g e s t num-ber of men in line. Lititz had seven-ty- one waiformed men out of a pos-sible 100. Lititz marched well as Msuak They were awarded five prize«, lw*t were allowed only two. LITITZ AUTO WRECKED NEAR LANCASTER Henry Hershey Had Face Cut— Others Injured Five persons were injured, includ-ing Henry Hershey of this place, when a Willys-Knight Sedan, owned by Rev. J. W. G. Hershey of Lititz, overturned near Rocky Springs Park at 11 o'clock Sunday night. The top is badly wrecked and most of the glass panes were broken.

THESE LAZY BOYS Tell me not in mournful numbers That a lad is bound to fail, J u s t because his morning slumbers Make his daddy raise a gale. Why, that daddy when a laddie, Made his daddy do the same, And his daddy's daddy's daddy Also played the possum game. This is not a new invention, This is old as Adam's race, And in spite o f , a l l contention, Is no herald of disgrace. Why, I know a superintendent Of a corporation now, Who was once a joint-attendant On a clumsy, dreamy cow. Nine his f a t h e r had provided, Eighteen milkings every day, These with sister he divided, In the goo<$, old-fashioned way. Four apiece they milked unaided, As if carrying out a vow, But the ninth one found them jaded, Each but milked a half a cow. Never did they cheat each other, Never was the line-fence Grossed, She protected well her brother, He his sister without cost. Ah, they always were past masters, These young goslings in our nest, To avoid the great disasters, Over-work and under-rest. So you might as well quit scowling, Save -your lungs and throat and nose, For they'll not rise at your growling, If you yell till Gabriel blows. They just need more rest than you do, If they didn't, the'cl be up, So instead of playing hoodso, Eat your b r e a k f a s t and shut up. —JOE BAKER. State Road Thru Lititz Awaits Governor's Approval The proposed State road from Lancaster to Brickerville, a pet measure of Representative Diehm, of this place, for the past four years, passed through the Senate during the last day of session and is awaiting the signature of Governor Pinchot to make it a reality. Diehm never lost a chance in working for this measure and pressed his opportunity through an omnibus bill, by which each county will be given state aid for one road. Diehm had «the assurance for some time that he would be given support as the road had a logical claim and the fact was not over-looked that Lititz had no state road passing through its confines. Diehm was called upon to appear before the conference qommittee and his plans met with no opposition, and when the bill came back to the House for any possible amendments it went through as first proposed. Mr. Diehm called on the Governor since the bill is in his hands. He was given a cordial audience but the chief executive would not commit himself. If approved wonk will start on the road in two years. "If the Governor vetoes it," Mr. Diehm was asked, "would you work on the bill at the next session?" "Ac-cording to the almost unanimous vote, the measure is sure to be The road would be maintained by the state. RECORD Of all forms of advertising known to man—nothing has yet been found as space in the home paper. LITITZ, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 21, 1923 NO. 39 $100 in Cash to The Readers of The Lititz Record 'Educational Contest," Consisting of a Full Page of Advertising, Starts In This Week's Issue SUCCESSFUL CONTESTANTS TO BE' AWARDED PRIZES Find the Missing Word and Earn Money—Rules of Contest—To Continue 13 Weeks Teday—elsewhere in this issue—a most interesting feature s t a r t s The "Educational Contest," for both young and old. the Lititz Record is going to reward all successful contestants—those who WORK—and ACHIEVE; and divide $100.00 in cash prizes among them. , The "Educational Contest" consists of a full page of adver-t i s i n g which will appear once each week for the next 13 weeks. Watch for it! Each week the vast army of readers of the Record will have a chance to read on these pages of advertising the names of merchants and business people who are striving hard to serve you and serve you well. CONDITIONS OF CONTEST The conditions of the contest are simple. No one but those mentioned in another p a r a g r a p h is barred f r om entering the con-t e s t No Tfs" or "Ands" about it. Some one will win the big cash prizes. WHY NOT YOU? The "Educational Contest" is for young and old. Immediate-ly a f t e r the 13th full page ads have appeared judges will decide the winners and the big cash prizes will be distributed to them as a reward for their effort. Read conditions in another column ot this issue. Then we would say to every boy and girl "Drop her in high, and t r a m p on the gas." Boys and girls of one thing be sure, t h a t the f ew years t h a t are ahead of you hold g r e at possibil-ities for those who now have little, but your responsibilities will increase and keep increasing. Idleness begets idleness and pois-ons the brain. Keep pepped up, and over the top you'll go in true L i t i t z fashion. An entertaining and interesting f e a t u r e is this "Educational Contest." It consists of a full page of advertising, found else-where in this issue, which will be r u n for the next 13 consecutive weeks. This "Educational Contesst" should be read each week and followed by every one of the Record's large army of readers. This f e a t u r e page, of course, offers splendid advantages to the merchants and businessmen as an advertising medium, but the "Educational Contest" also offers an interesting proposition to our many readers, for the reason that by careful reading each and every week they will each have an opportunity to compete f o r the purses of money which are offered as prizes, and which go to those who are successful in finding all of the most of the omitted words in the 13 weeks. On the contest page, the Editor has intentionally omitted ONE WHOLE WORD from ONE ADVERTISEMENT ONLY The word omitted this week begins with the letter g and ends with the letter d. This one word being omitted makes the sentence read gramatically wrong. Now, in order to find the word, the reader must read carefully every ad on t h e "Educational Contest" page, and when a sentence is found in which a wor d is omitted the missing word must be supplied. The cue to finding the miss-ing words each week will be found in the rules located on the coupon blank, found elsewhere in this issue. When you are sure you have found the missing- word, fill out the r e t u r n blank with the answer. Be sure to write your name and address plainly, and sign your r e t u r n blank the same each week. , As an illustra-tion, if you sign your name the first week, "Mrs. J . H. Jones," and your next blank comes in "Mrs. Mary Jones," there will be no way of determining that both replies belong to the same party. Send all replies to Contests Editor, care of this paper. In order to be counted, replies of missing words for previous weeks must be in this office by 6 o'clock Wednesday night of each week. Letters postmarked as being mailed at that time will be accepted. Each Thursday a f t e r the missing word for the week previ-ous have been announced, the original copies, containig all the words, are on exhibit in the Record office. . The only persons barred from entering the contest are the employees of this office, or any one connected with the working force of the Record. AdvertiaeTs and their families have the privilege to participate. It is fine concentrating exercise. The $100.00 in cash to be given away to the successful con-t e s t a n t s , a r e listed with the rules shown on the Contest Coupon on another page. The readers should not give up if unable to find the missing word any week, but should keep t r y i n g until the close of the contest, for it is not believed t h a t any one person will find all the missing words during the 13 weeks. The prizes will go to those finding the most of the missing words—one each week for the next 13 weeks. So you will very easily be repaid for your time and efforts, if you find several of the 13 missing words. The publisher of the Record will not be responsible to any advertiser if the reading of advertisements is not exactly as pre-pared or handed to us, as on the missing wards depends the suc-cess of this contest. Whether the copy is prepared by the adver-t i s e r or in our office, in either ease another copy is made, and the correct copy secretly filed, while the other copy with the missing words eliminated without any identification of them having ap-peared on the copy will go to the workrooms, so no one but the Record will know what have beep cut from the advertisements each week. No envelopes properly addressed to the Contest Editor, "Educational Contest," care of Lititz Record, Litite, Pa., will be opened until the completion of the contest. If you do not ad-dress your envelopes properly, as above, and the same i s opened in t h e Record office, along with other mail matter not marked for identification, the publisher of the Record will not be responsible or is to be held accountable if your letter is opened. However, should contestants fail to observe the proper addressing and iden-tification rules it will not bar anyone f r om participating, as let-t e r s opened will be marked, and the judges (who will be announc-ed later) will then know by the markings t h a t it was your f a u lt and not the publisher's. Remember, answer blanks will be count-ed whether in sealed or unsealed envelopes; or you can hand or send the answer blanks by person to the Record office. You can fill out only one answer blank each week in the same name, and only the blanks found in the columns of the Record, will count. In case of more than one contestant entitled to prizes having t h e same number of correct answers, the money will be equally divided. Clip the answer blanks from your own newspaper, get the blanks from your neighbor's copy. See that the blanks of the previous week, properly filled out, reach the Record office no later than 6 o'clock Wednesday night of each week. For instance answer blanks of this issue, June 21, are void a f t e r 6 o'clock Wed-nesday night, June 27, 1923. Each Thursday for the next 13 weeks the missing word in the advertisements on the "Educational Contest" page of the pre-vious week will also ba published in these columns, so t h a t our readers «am see just where the word was omitted.

Silver offering will be l i f t e d. Rev. Crosland in Philadelphia Hospital Rev. E. S. Crosland l e f t on Monday f o r the Misericordia Hospital, Phila-delphia, suffering with a nervous breakdown. He is under the atten-tion of two specialists. He will need a complete rest. The Pool The swimming pool, offered f r e e to the borough council, needs^ cleaning and it does not drain itself, but if the borough council will accept the acre of ground upon which the pool is and fill it up until it drains itself, a very nice wading pool can be had with lit-tle expense, then the children could enjoy themselves at that place dur-ing these hot summer days. I hope t h a t for the benefit of the children this offer will be accepted. I can already hear the merry laugh-t e r of the little tots who would enjoy a splash in the waters for years to come. If the town continues to grow the next twenty-five years as it has done in the past twenty-five years the east-end will be built up with houses. Would not this acre of land with a wading pool, a stream of water flow-ing through, shade trees, a number of swings and see-saws, make a beau-t i f u l place for the children? How could we give them a more healthy place? I offer this plot of ground to the borough for the children's enjoyment and if at anytime they feel that a white elephant was handed to them, t h e y will have no trouble at all to hand it back to me again. B. F. LUTZ Reasons Why Tax Payer Does Not Favor Lititz Swimming Pool Lititz, Pa., June 18, 1823 Editor Lititz Record: At your and the Boro Council's in-vitation I wish to express myself in r e g a r d to Council's taking- over Lutz's Swimming Pool. I say don't, for. several very good reasons. F i r s t , the grounds are entirely too small for a public park, being only about three-fourths of an acre. You can not confine a bunch of active kids in so small a place. While Mr. Lutz was running it the kids were continulaly trespassing on other peo-ples' property and were out on- the public street. In the second place the natural water supply is entirely too small to keep the pool in the required sani-t a r y condition. In the third place, what little water is secured is gotten by damming the water back on our property, other-wise it will not run into the pool. We allowed it thus f a r but will not allow it hereafter. You might of course use boro water but I feel sure if you look into the m a t t e r thoroughly you will conclude t h e Lutz pool is not worth the ex-panse it will take to run it. Yours sincerely, j . w . BRUCKART: The Last of the Strawberry Crop Strawberies have passed the peak of production. While they were f a i r - ly plentiful, the quality has been g r e a t l y impaired by the dry weather and they are, in size, greatly inferior to those of a year of normal weather conditions. Housewives took the ad-vice of growers and made quantity purchases for preserving purposes. They are selling at 18 to 20 cents t h i s week. Cherries are abundant but still bringing good prices. New peas are plentiful. More r a in is needed for vegetation or thé present plentifulness win give way to scarcity. Attention, American Legion All members are invited to the motion picture theatre on Tuesday, June 26, at 8 p. m., when the Woman's Auxiliary will entertain by showing the national convention film and other pictures. Also have a good speaker. They will entertain neigh-boring auxiliaries as well. Dtfn't f o r g e t , we want to show them we're alive. Some years ago the f r e i g h t depot was moved f r om the chocolate factory building to temporary quar-t e r s in f r e i g h t cars across the street f r om the factory. Then a warehouse was built on Water street and for al-most a year has been in use. Yet in spite of all these changes, which were spoken about f r om time to time and published in the newspapers, a Lititz man came to the former shipping point at the chocolate factory to see if any freight had arrived for him. No, we do not know who the man was but if you don't believe it, ask Clyde Keller who talked to him when he came there. By force of habit one often enjoys things -without stop-ping to think of their con-cenience. Probably in no town or state outside of- L i t i t z is ice water provided f r e e on the street. While it is patronized f r e e l y yet few ever give it a thought. To automobilists who stop off a t tke fountain f o r a drink of f r e s h iced water it seems more of a novelty and they o f t e n express themselves with, "Isn't it wonderful w a t e r . " In many cities spring water is sold by the bottle and one supplies the ice. However, when away f r om L i t i t z and, one is forced to '' drink inferior water, then t h e mind goes back to the good old Lititz water from t h e well t h a t never runs dry. Fact is, there are times when you would pay a dollar j u s t for a cup of the cooling water as you Knew it es-pecially at places where t h e r e is nothing but sulphur water. __ Jppun>„ OiirTcwn The Cicada, better known as the seventeen year locust, is not supposed to appear in t h i s area. This section was visited by the seventeen year locust in 1919 and will ap-pear again in 1936. How-ever there are exceptions and in the hills north .of here t h e r e are strips that abound with the 1923 brood and their calls of Pharaoh make t h e woods ring. Dr. C. E. Lane, of this place, while on a trip to Mt. Hope, counted sixty-four locust to a square yard. The female punctures a tender twig and lays her eggs in the opening. The eggs can be seen with a magnifying. glass. With several of these punctures in a space of a few inches, the twig is weakened and in sev-eral months falls to the ground. The young emerge and burrow down, attaching themselves to the roots of the trees and getting sub-stance f r om the sap. Another thing of interest which the Lititz man saw at t h e hills was a nest of young t u r k e y buzzards. The young ones which he saw stood a foot high and the f e a t h e r s were pure white. However, they are objects not to be fondled, as there is a disagreeable stench around the nests, as the result of the parent birds feeding on .
