Lititz Fishermen Still Interested in
Bass Fishing
A crowd of thirteen Lititz fisher-men
spent the week-end at Baldfrier,
Md., but only caught ten bass. The
fish did not seem to be biting. Nel
son Mearig landed one measuring 19
inches and Richard Kreidar had one
of 18 inches. Ephraim Hi "r won the
vvhipsnapper prize, having two eels.
The primary election on Tuesday
here was quiet and a low vote was
polled, it being noticeable that few
women went to the polling places.
A half dozen politicians around the
voting places was the only evidence
that an election was in progress. H.
H. Beck beat out B. F. Lutz by a big
majority for a place on the regular
ticket for school director and Jacob
Singley defeated Samuel Bowers as
Republican candidate for constable.
From all indications J. B. Wissler
won on the county ticket for district
attorney, while Tom Stirk lost out
for a place on the Republican ticket
as sheriff.

Ten Lititz Young Men Conduct-ed
Around Big City
FIGHT THE DAY'S CLIMAX
Ten Lititz young men saw the
Dempsey-Firpo fight and enjoyed
some of the sights of New York last
Friday. Alen Putt was sent to the
fight at the expense of the Lancaster
New Era. Paul Miller left for New
York several days before, seeing the
fight and visiting his two brothers.
Harry Rudy, of Landisville, a native
¡of this place, was at the arena, hav-ing
been an attendant at all the big
fight events around New York for
the past several years.
The one crowd of nine left Lititz
on Friday morning and were taken
around New York by Ben Hilbert.
Needless Loss Every Month Runs
Into Thousands of Dollars
The American Railway Express
Co. paid in settlement " of loss and
damage claims and furniture, crock-ery
and glassware handled during the
month of September, 1922, $49,064,
and for October, 1922, $55,797.
From these figures it is to be seen
that the proper and safe handling of
such shipments presents a difficult
problem for the transportation com-pany,
especially in view of the con-stantly
growing volume of this busi-ness.
For this reason Agent Hall, of the
local agency, states that he has been
advised that his company is conduct-ing
this month a campaign, it being
the intention to have every one of
the company's 125,000 employes to*

My lad and I went out to fish
One sunny August day,
With face as shiny as a dish,
Lie whistled all the way.
He promised mother at the door,
A string of fifty-five;
Such faith was never seen before
I n any man aiive.
But fate was not disposed that day
To fill his mother's tub,
So when we took the homeward way
He only had a chub.
Yet chubs are whales to little boys,
As early beaus to girls,
The first catch brings unbounded joys
And all the world impearls.
They laughed at us when we return-ed,
As foolish pepple do,
And from their taunting mirth we
learned
They hoped at least for two.
We had our two despite their glee,
And all their saucy quips,
For I pulled what they didn't see
From Buddy's puckered lips.
I learned this lesson' from my lad
That happy August day,
That whether luck be good or bad,
To whistle all the way.

City Band of Lancaster to P ay at
Lititz Fire Company Festival
The big attraction at the Lititz fire
company festival at the fire house at
this place on Saturday will be the
City Band of Lancaster. The organ-ization
will bring 35 men here, as-suring
a fine class of concert music.
The usual good "'eats" will be on
hand, not forgetting the chicken corn
soup which made this festival
famous. The company is assured a
larger quota of chickens than' ever
before, realizing that there was al-ways
a shortage. Deviled clams,
fried oysters, sugar cake and coffee
and other good things are on the
menu. There will be cakes, home-made
candies and other things for
sale. Nothing will be chanced off.
Come and take your supper at the
fire house or bring your kettle around
for soup for supper.
packing ana marking such shipments
as these two features are largely re-sponsible
for a great portion of the
claims made.
Agent Hall also states that he is
sure that Lititz can be counted upon
to do its part 100% as during the
six months when he has had charge
of the local agency the patrons have
shown that they actually require first
class service and that they are all
willing to do their part toward ob-taining
it.
Charged Before Squire Danner
Complaint has been made before
Squire Danner, Manheim, by R. K.
Phalm, of the State Highway Depart-ment,
against Nathan W. Frey, of
Lititz, charged with operating an
automobile while under the influence
of alcoholic liquor. The complaint
states than on Friday evening, Aug.
24th, Frey operated an automobile in
a reckless manner when he drove
into another car which was parked
on Market Square, Manheim, and
that he was under the influence of
liquor at the time.
Warrants were placed in the hands
of officers and also turned over to the
Sta^e Police. Frey reported at
Squire Danner's office. Bail was fur-nished
in the sum of $500 for a hear-ing
which was secheduled for last
Friday morning.
He pleaded guilty and was fined
$100 and costs. His license to drive
a car was also taken from him.
Frey, who is a cigar maker at this
place, recently inherited money.
Over $600 Raised in Lititz Churches
for Japanese Relief
The following amounts were raised
by special collections in the seven
church here: Moravian, $200; United
Brethren, $55.51; Lutheran, $94.50;
Church of the Brethren, $113.02; Re-formed
S. S., no church service being
held, $10; Mennonite, $128.15; United
Evangelical, $74.06; Hess', near
Lititz, $50.
Funds are being turned in at the
various industries, but have not yet
been accounted for. The quota set
for Lititz is $800. This will be made
up, said one of the leaders in the
movement.
What About the Community Show
So f a r no date has been set and no
meeting has been called concerning
the community show at Lititz, which
proved such a big success in past-years.
Each year the interest and
exhibits have been on the • increase,
and it would be a pity to give it up
in its heyday. Other towns have al-ready
set dates and are making prep-arations
for the event. While it in-volves
much work on the part of the
officers, yet it is productive of results
that are worth while. Citizens of
Lititz should not let it drop and the
officers should be given assistance
and encouragement. It would prove
a big disappointment if there were
no exhibit here this year.
Rev. Crosland to Occupy Pulpit, on
Sunday
Rev. E. S. Crosland, pastor of the
Moravian' church, with Mrs. Crosland
returned home a f t e r a six weeks' trip
to 'northern Vermont and the Bermuda
Islands. Rev. Crosland, who had a
nervous breakdown, reports that he is
feeling fine. He will preach in the
church on Sunday morning and even-ing.
Bermuda, said Rev. Crosland, is
a delightful place. There is not an'
automobile on the island. He confes-sed
that he sampled Bermuda onions.
They left Bermuda on Saturday at 10
o'clock in the morning and landed at
10 o'clock on Monday morning.
Bought Five More Aeroplanes
The Behmer Air Service secured
five new aeroplanes at Newark, N. J.,
which were loaded on a car this week
for shipment to the field near Lan-caster.
There is an option on five
more machines. These machines
were built for the government during
the war for bombing. They'have 220
H. P. engines and will carry a weight
of 1200 pounds besides the pilot.
The Behmer Air Service intends sell-ing
some of these machines.
•—We invite our many patrons to
call and inspect our new line of Sen-eca
cameras. Priced at $2.50 and
up.—SCOTT'S BOOK STORE.
Heavy Tobacco
Jacob Kling finds no idle time on
his hands, and besides doing electri-cal
work, is farming tobacco on the.
half shares on J. C. Brubaker's farm.
The tobacco is unusually big and fine,
running from 35 to 40 pounds to the
lath, for five stalks. His son Arthur
and Melvin Hoover are farming three
acres of the weed at the same dace.
Linden Ha l Opened This Week
Linden Hall Seminary opened its
178th year on Wednesday with an en-rollment
of almost a hundred pupils.
Improvements have been made during
the summer, including a new heating
system, new office rooms, new tennis
courts and a hockey field is nearly
completed. The buildings and sur
roundings are in first class condition.
Ralph Haines, who won
the title of British Ace dur-ing
the war, and now a pilot
in the Behmer Air Service
company, thinks nothing of
doing stunts and can fre-quently
be seen doing his
tricks while soaring over
Lititz. He can drive an
auto but openly admits he is
afraid and never drives fast.
Too many inexperienced and
reckless drivers on the road
and there does not seem to
be sufficient room to pass
them, is the way he ex-presses
it. "I'd rather take
a chance in the air where I
am not in danger of the
other fellow."
OwTam
With this issue the Record
is 47 years old—the history
of Lititz and its people re-corded
in hundreds of col-umns
in interesting descrip-tion.
The newspaper of
your town is the official
clearing house of the town's
events—nothing comes near
to it in serving this purpose.
I t makes the community a
unity, binding- together for
the general good. Y'ou may
read local news in the city
papers, but they cannot af-ford
to give the volume and
variety of news of Lititz as
your home paper, because
the metropolitan papers
cover such a wide territory,
while the home paper is what
it represents—a local news-paper.
We believe the peo-ple
have faith in the Record
and have given it strong
support—that's why it has
grown old in service but re-news
its youth in keeping
with the progress of the
town. In the next fifty
years will there be a home
newspaper? We are en-titled
to our ideas but we
don't know. However that
is not worrying us, as we
are going ahead week by
week putting out as good a
paper as we know how. The
Record subscribers are in-creasing
and we have set the
mark at 2000. There are
now 1900 subscribers. When
the present editor started
work here as an apprentice
there were 1150 subscribers.
Counting 4 to 5 readers to a
paper the persons that scan'
the news each week runs
into a big- audience. The fu-ture
of the paper depends on
the energy of the editor and
the support of the patrons.
Each must do a part.
While travelers often com- '
plain of bugs, even in the
most fashionable hotels, yet
one never hears of anyone
being bitten on Pullman
cars. In a casual talk with
Frank Sturgis, a native boy
of this place, who is a Pull-man
car conductor between
New York and Buffalo at
the present time, he explain-ed
as to the precaution
taken. It is his duty to
make reports and if a single
bug or one mouse is seen he
must present the facts at
once. The car is at once
taken out of service, fumi-gated
and cleaned, women
going over the bedding and
examining every inch of it.
There are blowers arid
vacuum machines and clean-ing
is a science there. One
bug or one mouse may cause
a loss of $200 or more dol-lars
for cleaning, not count-ing
the loss of the car when
not in service. The Pullman
car owners are as much
alarmed about these unwant-ed
guests as a Pennsylvania
German housewife, who
would consider it a disgrace
and be ashamed to have
them in her house.
AS OTHERS SEE US
Editor Lititz Record:
Will you kindly permit the follow-ing
article as a r a t h e r unpleasant ex-perience
of the w r i t e r ? A short time
ago I was in one of the northern
counties of the State on business. It
happened to be the week of their
county fair. I asked a prominent
business man if it was a good clean
f a i r or if everything went—gambling,
wheels, and all. "Well," said he," "it
isn't near as bad as it was, public sen-timent
is against it." Said I, "That
seems to be the case everywhere. Law
violations seem to be on the decline."
The man thoughtfully stroked his chin
then said, "That may be in some com-munities,
but not in all. Let me see,
you live in Lititz do you n o t ? " I re-plied,
"Yes, I do, and I am proud of
it." "Well," said he, "I had always
read and heard of Lititz as being a
good, clean, wholesome town, but I
happened to be there last Spring on
the day your firemen had their carni-val,
and I never saw so many gamb-ling
wheels crowded into so small a
space in all my life as I saw on one
block that evening, and they were all
doing a rushing business."
Of course I could not deny it be-cause
I myself had seen a Lititz
matron take half a dozen chances at
one of the wheels without getting a
thing. Naturally I can't say very
much more about a clean Lititz, and
that good old Scotch saying constant-ly
recurs to me:
"O, would some power the gift to give
us,
To see ourselves as others see us."
VERITAS.

Some Tobacco on Lowlands Caught
by Frost
The breaks were with the tobacco
farmer on Monday and Tuesday,
Jack Frost losing out by a narrow
margin, when the thermometer was
down to 38 degrees. Some tobacco
patches along the creeks were touch-ed
by frost, but all the farmers on
| higher ground were safe. On the
| farms of V/. H. Muth, Wellington
I Pfautz, Jacob Fenstermaeher, J. W.
Bruckart, Tobias Snavely some of
the leaf was ruined.
Taking a tour of the county with-in
seven miles of Lititz it was notice-able
that not a third of the crop was
cut. Farmers are working with
might and main, but eleven acres of
the weed, as is common on many
farms, takes time to house.
Much of the tobacco is not ripe
enough to cut and would do well to
stand another week.
Those who planted early were for-tunate,
as the late plants were at a
standstill for a long time, having,
however, made remarkable growth in
the past three or four weeks. Some
farmers are taking a chance with the
weather in order to gain weight. In
most years the late crop runs heavier
than that planted eariy.
There are indications of good
prices this year, with a few reports
of farmers selling at 26 cents. B.
F. Grosh was offered 25 cents a week
ago but refused it.
The prize winners of the missing
word contest will be announced next
week. There were 150 returns some
weeks and it will take considerable
time to tabulate them. Saying that
the contest created interest is put-t
i ng it mildly.
Find Many Curiosities in Cocoa Beans
It is surprising how many things
are found in beans shipped to the
chocolate factory. After going thru
the cleaner, before they are hulled,
enough things are found to start a
curiosity shop. This week John Car-penter
found a bead necklace, strung
on a grass fibre. They are inlaid
beads and very pretty. They were
in African beans. He has a collec-tion
of single beads secured in the
same way as well as a bead bracelet.
Money is the most common thing-found.
A Morocco coin of 1313 was
picked out, and money from Brazil,
Ecuador, Africa and other places was
found at different times. Last week
art Italian stiletto, with a red handle,
was brought to light, while pocket
knives are common articles in the
beans, with an occasional butcher
knife. Rings and hammers turn up,
but so f&r no diamonds.
