Much Tobacco Still Standing
There was a slight f r o s t along the
creeks on Wednesday morning, but not
sufficient to do any? damage. Forty
per cent, of the tobacco crop is still
to be cut, but every place farmers
a r e working with might and main to
get the crop under roof. Reasons
f o r the delay is lack of help and the
f a c t t h a t f a r m e r s want it to be ripe.
The crop is considered a good one,
having weight and size. The little
tobacco seen early has practically
all grown out as the late r a i n s hast-ened
t h e growth. Many persons pre-dicted
that the f r o s t would nip the

but the weatherman favored

The teachers' of the Public School
held a corn and doggie roast at the
Spring grounds •• l a s t night. All the
school teachers and their many
friends, were present and all had
a fine time. It looks as tho this is
going to be an annual event f o r the
teachers, this being the second year
they had such an outing. Last week
several of the various classes at the
school held doggie roasts at Risser's
meadow and other favorable -places.

has graduated from a school and all
t h e pupils are separated, to see just
what occupation or business the vari-ous
students follow. The following is

Obrec a Home Run Hitter
Many Lititz folks can remember
"Whitey" Obrec who played ball with
L i t i t z years ago. Obrec was a Read-ing
boy and' r e a l ly got his s t a r t play-ing
with the local team. Now he is
playing for Springfield and is one
of t h e best men on the t e am and caus-es
the opposing team much trouble.
In one game recently their t e am was
held hitless for seven and one-third
innings when Obrec crashed out a
homer. This was the only hit they
had in the whole game, t h e score be-ing
two to one. He is one of t h e lead-ers
in the E a s t e r n League, having a
record of twenty-one home runs this
season.
Charles Dimeler, a native of Lititz
and who was- here on a visit f r om
Westfield, Mass., where he now re-sides,
stopped on his way home to
see Oberc p l a y and they had a pleas-sant
talk about the days when they
were in L i t i t z and about the old ball
games when Obrec used to play for
our team.
In another game against Pittsfield,
Oberc hit a home run practically
winning the game, for Springfield.
The other team was in the lead but
when Springfield was up to bats, and
with the bases full Obrec hit his
homer thus winning the game.
Whitey Obrec will play in a charity
game at Reading on Sunday. He will
play with the St. Mary's Profession-als
who will play against the Polish.
•Felcons at Lauer's park on t h e a f t e r -
noon of 28th of this month. They
also, expect to have Babe Ruth at the
game,t a s an added attraction.
The game is being held f o r t h e bene-fit
of the new convent of St. Mary's
Polish Catholic Church which is be-ing
erected at Reading. Next Sun-day
happens to be an open date for
both the Yankees and the Athletics.
$150 Cleared at Benefit Ball Game
for Elwood Shoemaker
Elwo,od Shoemaker, went to the
operating table for the third time
on Monday, all within a week at the
Lancaster General Hospital on ac-count
of his broken leg. After t h e leg
was set the first time it was discov-ered
to be an inch and a half short-er
than the sound member. An at-tempt
was made to stretch it, but be-cause
of the bone being broken slant-ingly
it would not stay in position
and on the last occasion t h e flesh was
cut and a silver p l a t e inserted to hold
t h e bones in position. With good
luck it is believed t h a t he can be
brought home early next week. Jie
has been having many Lititz visitors
a t the hospital.
At the benefit game held for him
here on Saturday exaetly $150« was
cleared, which will go toward paying
his .expenses^
M. C. DEMMY RECEIVES LETTER
FROM STATE
S t a t e to Enforce Compulsory Attend-ance
Laws
The State Department is enforcing
t h e compulsory attendance law to its
f u l l extent and in doing this they
ask the cooperation of parents and
employers. Mr. M. C. Demmy, Su-pervising
Principal of the ' Public
Schools" received a limited number of
Age Certificate blanks, a new form
prepared by the. Department of Pub-lic
Instruction. -Many firms employ-ing
minors have found it difficult to
determine clearly whether certain,
minors requesting employment and
s t a t i n g they are sixteen years of age
or over, have reached the age of six-teen
years. A severe penalty is pre-scribed
by the Child Labor Act for
employers who employ a minor under
sixteen years of age for whom an.
employment certificate has not been
issued. To assist the employer in
t h i s « l a t t e r as well asi to aid in a
b e t t e r enforcement of the provisions
of the Compulsory Attendance Law,
t h i s new foian of Certificate has been
prepared.
If a minor sixteen years or over
wants to get a Certificate he or she
should come to the office of the Public
Schools with the following data, where
upon she will be g r a n t e d a Certificate,
if she is eligible: Whenever possible
bring your (1) birth certificate, (2)
baptism certificate, , (3) • physician
certificate of evidence of age and an
affidavit of parent or guardian, A
record of the date of birth of all
minors born since 1906 is on file in
t h e Bureau of Vital Statistics, De-partment
of Health, H a r r i s b u r g where
t h e minor may secure a t r a n s c r i p t of
t h e b i r t h certificate by writing to the
above mentioned and enclosing the
f e e of fifty cents. All p a r e n t s should
look into t h e m a t t e r if they have any
minors who 'are working in any fac-t
o r y and employers should also see
t h a t they have certificates and thus
avoid the penalty to be paid by those
employing minors.
•Sells the Finished Product
John Hess of Lititz believes in
handling the product of the f a rm in
a completed state direct to the con-sumer
and finding his own market.
J u s t now he is busy making sauer
k r a u t , using a power cutter, and so
f a r has made 2000 gallons. lie plants
cabbage by the acre, using a tobacco
planter. This was a good growing
season for cabbage. Sauer k r a u t has
lately been found to be a health food,
keeping the digestive organs in good
condition.
With the Advance in the
price of flour the day is here
again when f a r m e r s a r e tak-ing
their own wheat to the
mill to have it ground into
flour for their own use. It
used to be t h e custom f o r the
miller to extract an eighth or
a tenth for "toll." One of
the county millers announces
that he will do custom grind-i
n g at 30 cents a bushel.
Each lot is ground separate
and the f a r m e r is given the
flour and feed f r om his own
wheat. In the old days the
f a r m e r would not have
thought otherwise than to
have enough flour ground up
f r om his own wheat to supp-ly
his needs^ Then the f a r m -
e r ' s wife baked her own
bread. The remains of out-side
bakeovens are still to be
seen around the county,
where bread and cakes were
baked, "schnitz" and corn
dried on a' l a r g e r scale than
a stove oven was capable of
doing. At a recent test at
S t a t e college a loaf of all-
Lancaster county wheat-bread
scored as high a t e s t as
t h a t made f r om western flour
or Lancaster county flour
blended with western flour.
However f a r m e r s are ad-vised
to grow the varieties
of wheat that are best suited
f o r flour making. For the
p a s t years there had - been
no incentive to do so. The
flour of the olden times was
ground between stones. With
t h e new roller process it
went out of style. So much
of the staff of life is bolted
out t h a t there remains prac-tically
nothing but starch
food, instead of a well-bal-anced
ration as God pro-duced
it. When you see a
man with" a big bay window
the chances are t h a t the un-balanced
ration of too much
white bread is doing it. The
quicker the human race gets
back to. the old style flour
the better for them, and
t h e r e would be less cases f or
the hospital and less medi-cine
needed. Bread used to
be a nourish diet, now
i t s a poor filler.
A pole cat slowly meand-ering
across the road caused
Christ Douple to do some
quick thinking. He was
making the curve at the
Akron hill wifh another ma-chine
coming toward him.
' P u s s y " not in the least bit
excited, was on one side of
the road. He .took a chance
by putting on full speed
around the turn and passed
t h e little animal without
damage and turned away
from. t h e machine just when
i t looked as if they would
hit. The other driver, un-less,
he saw the animal, must
have wondered what manner
of driver approached him.
As it was the Lititz man,
j u s t about made the turn.
A local young man who drove
over a polecat found it nec-e
s s a r y to repaint his ma-chine
but even at that on
damp days t h e r e is an aroma
t h a t smells like escaping gas.
An unusual article appear-ed
in the Philadelphia Re-cord
under the head of
"Horse Notes" in which the
name Lititz is used. Fol-lowing
is the clipping:
"Sante Guy, b.m., by Lititz,
owned by Frank Seal, of
this city, won a good race
a t Wilmington with John
Toy driving but had to re-duce
her record to 2.16%.
At t h a t it looked easy." Thru
the work of the Philadelphia
paper we found out that
L i t i t z is the name of the
sire of Sante Guy. It seems
s t r a n g e tho t h a t the stal-lion
should have the name
L i t i t z when there are only
two places in. t h e whole world
by t h a t name, one in Bo-hemia
and our home town,

New Chemical Company at Lititz
Has Bright Future
DEMAND SO GREAT FOR TARNISH PREVENTATIVE THAT
EXPANSION IS NECESSARY
The Woolworth Chemical Company
has been organized and incorporated
in Lititz with a capitalization of
$20,000, by the same personnel that
is conducting the Animal Trap Com-pany—
Chester M. Woolworth, Wil-liam
Peacock, Daniel - Gray, Claude
Marble and Frank Dengate. The
company had been operating quietly
in a small way f o r t h e past year. A
t a r n i s h preventive was made but the
demand became so great that the
men were forced to expand. Some
of t h e l a r g e s t jewelers and hardware
jobbers in the middle west have taken
on the line and the company has
s t a r t e d to manufacture the product
in Lititz.
For years chemists have been try-ing
to invent something to prevent
t a r n i s h , but up to this time nothing
practical was on the market. H. R.
Wertsch, the local jeweler, gave it a
thorough trial and has been using it
steadily ever since with no signs of
t a r n i s h . Iti leaves no film; After
placing with the jewelry trade the
company will develop i t s use for the
home. Every housewife krjows the
bugbear of keeping the silverware
bright. It looks as if the Lititz con-cern
has hit upon a marketable ar-ticle
that stands thee t e s t . The fu-t
u r e is b r i g h t f o r t h e new concern and
should add prestige to the name of
Lititz, and in time giving it the same
advertisement - a s the "Pretzel that
made Lititzi famous, its chocolate fac-t
o r y and its Springs.

Nearly Stepped on Copperhead
While on a fishing t r i p to the Sus-quehanna
last week, Isaac Pfautz1
n e a r l y stepped on a copperhead snake
on the railroad near Fishing Creek.
I t was growing dark and he had just
time to draw his foot baek when he
spied it. He dispatched the reptile,
which measured almost three, feet,
with a rock. A track walker came
along and confirmed his opinion that
i t was a copperhead, he himself hav-ing
killed one the same day.
