"The Red Loc.k," by David Ander-son,
a native of the Wabash region
and who knows its history better
than any other Indiana writer, re-counts
a drama as stirring, as true
to life and habitat as anything that
has ever been written about any sec-tion
of pioneer America. The period
is during the forties and early fifties
and takes place in the Wabash val-ley,
a land of uncommon romance,
virile frontier types and vigorous ac-tion.
The author has portrayed the
men and women of an earlier day,
but whom he seems to know as a
doctor knows his patients; he has
once more painted the Wabash scen-ery
with a brush of many colors.
The episodes and human actors of
this story are so thrilling as to make
it seem like melodrama, but after
you have read it you will recognize
at once that it is not a melodrama;
instead, a true picture of its period
and of men who matched craft with
savages and by the very strength of
heart and brawn hewed a nation out
of a wilderness. Blended with the
stirring recital are some fine nature
etching and some fascinating revela-tions
from the lore of wild things.
The story contains many glimpses
equally interesting; and for the hold-ing
of readers, there is a mystery
not cleared until near the end. The
solution of this mystery is unique
and surprising.
Don't forget to start reading the
story next week. We believe you
will like it. If you start it you will
want to finish it.

SIX MEN WORKED
AT IDEAL TWENTY
YEARS AND OVER
Company Appreciated Their Faith-fulness
With Letter and
$20 Gold Piece
Coming as a surprise six employees
of the Ideal chocolate factory, who
worked there for twenty years and
over, were called to the office and
handed a letter of appreciation from
the New York office with a twenty
dollar gold coin and a gold service
pin. Those on the roll are John Car-penter,
Daniel Carper,, John Bender,
Samuel Hacker, James Engle and
Jacob Hertzler. A twenty years club
will be started and it was intimated
there are good things in prospect for
them. The letter each one received
reads as follows:
"I am establishing in the Ideal
Mills a special class of men to be
known as '20-Year Men,' and am
glad to find that you are eligible to
this special group.
"Your twenty years or more of
continuous service in the manufac-ture
of Ideal products is very much
appreciated by the Company. Mr.
Melzer will hand you a $20 gold
piece with the letter. The company
gives you. the gold piece as a symbol
of twenty years of service.
"In the near future you will re-ceive
a lapel insignia in gold in the
f o rm of a small Ideal Maltese Cross,
and containing the words '20 Years
of Service' and 'Loyalty—Industry.'
"I congratulate you upon this long
period of continuous and satisfactory
service and I congratulate the Com-pany
on having men of your calibre
in its employ."
The letter is signed by the Presi-dent,
W. B. Nesbitt.
romqf Ou\Tom
Linden Hall Seminary, the
pride of Lititz, has grown so
popular that thirty-five pros-pective
pupils had to be
turned down when the fall
session opened last month.
Not many years ago thirty-five
pupils, all told, at Lin-den
Hall would have been a
surprise. We are also in-formed
that the Bethlehem
Moravian young ladies sem-inary,
which once was so
prosperous, is now on the
wane and has a compara-tively
small number of
pupils. Just why this is we
are unable to say.
John Bausman of this
place has a copy of the
Lancaster Journal, dated
1816. At this date the ad-vertisements
appear more
interesting than the reading
matteri There is an adver-tisement
of a lottery to
raise money to improve the
streets in Lancaster. His-torical
sketches of the late
war between United States
and Great Britain' is adver-tised
in book form. Another
advertisement which inter-ested
Mr. Bausman was a
reward of $150 for the ar-rest
of the person who stole
between twelve and thirteen
hundred dollars to silver and
gold from the home of his
grandfather John H. Baus-man.
The editor has been asked
numerous times what M: 0._
T. W. stand for, these letters
appearing in the Record at
the bottom of column's dur-ing
the last several weeks.
This is a form of advertis-ing
known as teasers and is
used to whet the readers' de-sire
to know what it is all
about. The question can be
solved this week by reading
the moving picture show ad-vertisement.
Farmers' Day, or the .
community show is not a
new idea for Lititz. It was
tried out at Lititz thirty-four
years ago when Thomas
Keller conceived the idea of
having an exhibit of farm-ers'
products at the Spring
grounds. A tent was erect-ed
there and an extra
attraction was a daily
exhibition of trained dogs.
There was a small admis-sion
charge. It was not a
big success as. the exhibits
were not large. The com-munity
spirit was lacking as
it was more of a commercial
enterprise, yet the idea was
the forerunner of the com-munity
show.

COME SINGLY
Charles Diehm Lost Auto One Day
and Badly Cut Nose Next Day
Saturday and Sunday were marked
days for Charles Diehm, an employee
at Burkholder's garage. On Satur-day
evening he left his auto for a
short time near Schoeneck. When
he returned the car was missing.. He
got a l i f t f r om a passing car and was
taken to Ephrata, where he reported
the loss of his car and then came
home. Next day he was informed
that his machine was found, back of
a barn and about a square from the
place where it was taken. Some one
had evidently taken it for a joy ride
or played a trick on him. The ••ame
day, while cranking the machine the
engine back-fired, the crank hitting
him on the tip of the nose and badly
cutting it. A doctor found it neces-sary
to put a stitch in it.

DIEHM LEADS
LOCAL FISHERMEN
Biggest and Most Fish for the
Season
G. G. Diehm, in spite of politics
and business, caught 110 bass to date,
having a hundred as his goal. He is
„easily the champion of Lititz this
season.
Like other fishermen he claims the
biggest one got away, breaking the
line and hitting the side of the boat.
But the next largest he got for
keeps, and is the biggest bass caught
by a local fisherman this season.
The above engravure is his biggest
bass, weighing 5% pounds, the on«
that didn't get away. It was mount-ed
by Frank B. Buch and is very life
like, showing its natural colors.
Diehm gained his first experience
when a youth at the White Oak dam,
but it is only within the l a s t several
years that he took to the sport seri-ously.
Whatever Diehm does he
does right and studies his job.

one measuring 29 inches and

is utilized for grazing, and many
horses are raised there.
