¥0L. XI.VIII THE LITITZ RECORD, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1925 NO. 42
Ì
INTERESTING' THINGS THAT
HAPPEN IN TOWN
AND VICINITY
Rev. J. W. G. Hershey is the owner
of a bantam rooster which is fifteen
years old.
Mrs. Maria Sweigart, East Main
street, celebrated her eightieth birth-day
on Mounday, July 6th.
A child's shoe was found at the
Spring Grounds and can be secured
at this office,
Bear's almanac notes a cold her-schel
on Friday of this week, which
means cooler weather for a day or
two.
Joseph Reed, of Liberty street, was
taken to the General Hospital, Lan-caster,
last week, where he underwent
an operation.
There will be singing at Longeneck-er's
Meeting house, one mile west of
Lititz, on Saturday evening at 7:30
o'clock.
Albert Shenk, farmer a mile west
of Lititz, sold 65 head of fat cattle,
but still has a number on hand. We
are informed he received 10% to 11
cents per pound.
Jacob Ruhl, after being sick for
two weeks, was taken to the Lancas-ter
General hospital on Sunday. An
x-ray picture was taken of his mouth,
to ascertain whether the trouble is
caused by his teeth.
. The following young men from this
place are spending two weeks camp-ing
at Fishing Creek, near the Sus-quehanna:
Clarence and Robert Stur-g'is,
Lloyd Weitzel, Lester Adams and
James Roth.
The first picnic of the season, the
Evangelical Union S. S. of Reading
' was here yesterday, coming in a
special train of ten coaches. Many
of the picnickers also came by auto-mobile.
Jacob Bachman and son Arthur and
Wilson Steely caught seven ground-hogs
within several hours near Roths-ville,
last week, bringing them home
alive. They will be killed for the
table.
On June 18th it was 45 years since
the remains of Gen. John A. Sutter
were laid to rest in the Moravian
cemetery. It seems like a long time
yet many of our older citizens will
remember the sad occasion, when
many men of prominence from near
and far were present.
H. C. Reedy will have charge of
the singing for two weeks, starting
on July 27, at Ruhl's church near
Manheim. He also has an engage-ment
as evangelistic singer at the
State street church at Harrisburg,
during September.
The Lititz auto tourists are now at
Naperville, 111., for the past week and
if they do not secure work there, may
soon start homeward. They were in
the hotel at Santa Barbara, that was
later wrecked by the earthquake.
Nothing has been heard from Young
and Mohn, who are hiking to the
coast, for over a week.
Rev. E. S. Crosland, pastor of the
Moravian church, has been granted a
vacation of four weeks, extending to
August 5th. He will spend the first
ten days with the Tri Mu's near Stras-burg.
In the meantime the pulpit will
be supplied by Dr. W. N. Schwartze,
of Bethlehem, on July 12; by Prof.
Chas. Rominger, on July 19, and by
Rev. Wm. Vogler of Nazareth, on July
26 and August 2.
Thunder Stcfrm Sent People
Home Early on Fourth
Fire Works All Used But Many Scared Away Without Seeing
Display
New York Cocoa Bean Importer Here
Mr,, and Mrs. Haldeman Muller of
New York were the guests of Alvin
Oehle several days last week, attend-ing
the Ideal picnic and seeing how
Lititz celebrates the Fourth. Mr.
Muller is an importer of cocoa beans.
Was In The English Army
Stewart Cooper, who has charge of
the Hereford show cattle on the Du-
Pont farms beyond Coatesville, spent
the Fourth here with John Zug and
family on Maple street. Mr. Stewart
is a native of Scotland and fought in
the world war, after which he came
to this country.
Here from Canada
Clayton Bomberger, and wife and
child of Ontario, Canada, spent the
Fourth with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Jacob Bomberger. They came here
last Monday and will return to-morrow.
To Attend Bankers Convention
J. H. Breitigan,' cashier of the
Farmers National Bank, leaves Fri-day
for Kansas City, Mo., as a rep-resentative
to the National Banker's
association convention.
The Fourth of July celebration here
came to an abrupt halt when heavy
rain put in an appearance about 9
o'clock, although there was plenty
of warning for an hour previous when
there were drops of rain and flashes
of lightning. With the first warn-ing
of rain many people started leav-ing
the grounds, and while the entire
lot of fireworks were sent off in quick
time, the usual number of people did
not see them.
Even at that, the baseball field was
well filled with persons who were mil
ing to take a chance. They were
well repaid, although the fireworks
were put off in quick succession, al-most
too fast but the best that could
be done under the circumstances. Un-doubtedly
it was the finest display
ever shown here and the best in the
county this year.
The vast crowd had the benefit of
the illumination and the band, music.
It was the opinion of musical critics
that the Ringgold band was never
heard to better advantage here and
are growing better from year to year.
The Lititz band did credit to itself
and received much applause.
The pending rain put a halt to
the ticket selling just at the time the
heaviest ticket selling takes place,
otherwise it is probable that the gate
receipts would have totaled that of
last year. The figures at the gate
this year were $1,935.65, $452 short
of last year.
There were numerous eating stands
cn Broads^reet. , The rain washed
doggies and frankfurters down the
gutter from one of the stands. Wil-liam
Essig, a former resident of this
place, sold edibles from an auto
truck.
In the daytime it was rather quiet
in town, the crowd coming very grad-ual
and increasing as it neared the
supper hour. The big attraction at
Hershey and the numerous places in
the county where there were demon-strations,
gave Lititz strong compe-tition.
These celebrations at other
places are spasmodic. As usual the
majority of people came by auto-mobile.
There were no accidents in town,
in spite of the rush for home in the
evening, and there was only one
"drunk" seen, quite different from
the Fourth of July of years ago.
Almost every family in town en-tertained
visitors and more and more
it is becoming a day of home wel-come.
The rain extingished the candles
before they were burned down, but
on Sunday evening they were relit
and many persons were seen in the
park.
On July 3, there was more shoot-ing
in town than on the Fourth. The
old fashioned revolvers are no long-er
seen, but milk cans, charged with
carbide, produced plenty of noise and
fairly shook the houses close to where
they were discharged.
The last trolley coming in and leav-ing
Lititz on the 3rd of July received
a warm reception. The track was
laid • thick with torpedoes, producing
an almost continuous noise for , a
square.
There has been a big variation in
gate receipts from year to year, as
the following figures show: 1907,
$1615; 1910, $1706; 1917, $2000; 1919,
$2297; 1920, $3,066; 1921, $2,300;.
1922, $1767; 1923, $2567; 1924, $2405;
1925, $1953.65.

HIRAM McCAULEY
DROWNS AT READING
Parents Former Residents of Lititz
While canoeing on the Schuylkill
River, Hiram L. McCauley, aged 21,
of West Reading, was drowned early
Sunday evening. His body was found
on .Monday noon, below Haine's
Lock. It is believed that young Mc-
Cauley was asleep when his canoe
went over the dam breast.
The young man left his home short-ly
after 6 o'clock Sunday evening.
He motored to the boat house, not
far from the locks, where he stored
his canoe. Misgivings first were
aroused by the extraordinarily long-time
the car remained parked on the
bank, and when the owner failed to
return, the search which revealed the
tragedy was inaugurated.
The young man was born in Read-ing,
and was a son of Walter Y. and
Stella (Kauffman) McCauley. The
father and mother both resided at
Lititz at one time, but were married
at Reading. The father is a son of
Hiram McCauley, of Steelton and the
mother is the daughter of the late
Lightner Kauffman, once a resident
of Halfville. There are two sisters
surviving, May and Dora McCauley
at home.
The family was in Lititz on July
4th, including the young man who
was drowned.
Relatives from this place left this
morning to attend the funeral which
is being held at 10 o'clock A. M. to-day.
Society of Farm Women to Meet
The Society of Farm Women No. 1
will meet at the home of Mrs. Martin
Hess, east of Lititz, on Saturday after
noon, July 11 at 1:30.
Mr. L. K. Wolf of Brownstown will
give an aluminum demonstration.
All members are urged to attend
this meeting to plan for the county
convention of Farm Women to be
held at Rothsville Saturday July 25,
1925.
Policeman Kreider Has More Than
He Expected
Taking a rabbit hound under his
protection, which bears a Berks
county tag, he was surprised the
other morning to discover that in-stead
of one hound there were eight
there, as a litter or seven pups was
born. He is trying to locate the
owner but is at a loss to know wheth-er
he is entitled to the offspring or
not. Meanwhile there are plenty of
applicants who have applied for a
pup. Kreider lives within the zone
where the skunk family was found
and says surprises never come singly.
4th of July Mishap
Lloyd Weitzel was injured on Fri-day
when he set off a shooting crack-er
in a bottle, the bottle bursting and
flying glass cutting the boy on the
breast and arni. In the absence of
Dr. Hertz Mrs. Hertz extracted the
glass and dressed the wounds. The
injury is not serious.
Visitor Was Old Canal Boatman
Urias Scholl, of Strausstown, Berks
county, was a visitor at the home of
J. Frank Buch on the Fourth. In
his younger days, when canals were
in their heyday, Mr. Scholl was in
charge of a canal boat. Wilson Baum
of this place often accompanied him
on the boat.
Eight Little Skunks
Eight little orphan skunks have
their home under a shed between Dr.
C. E. Lane's house and the Malta
building on East Main street These
little animals, with their black and
white fur, playing around in the yard,
attract the older folks as well as the
children. The animals are becoming
very tame and at present are inoffen-sive.
They live on milk and bread
supplied by Dr. C. E. Lane, who says
he would not see them starve.
Full grown and small chickens in
the neighborhood disappeared and a
trap was set, resulting in Paris Neid-ermyer
catching the mother skunk in
a trap. The young ones, becoming
hungry, made an appearance and were
discovered. They took to drinking
milk from a dish at once. Dr. Lane
intends taking them to the mountain
and giving them their liberty when
they become older.
Resident of Lititz 40 Years Ago
Miss Margie Reinicke, of Dover,
O., after attending the Moravian sy-nod
at Bethlehem, stopped off here on
Monday to see the Beck relatives.
She resided in Lititz forty years ago
with her parents Bishop and Mrs.
Clement Reinicke, her father then
being pastor of the Lititz Moravian
church. Bishop Reinicke died some
years ago, but Mrs. Reinicke, who is
82 years old, is living at Dover.
Came From Florida By Auto
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Locke ar-rived
here, by automobile from St.
Petersburg, Fla., and from here will
go to Wildwood, N. J., to remain un-til
September, when they will leave
again for their home in Florida, where
Mr. Loche is engaged in the real es-tate
business. Mrs. Locke's name be-fore
mariage was Irene Light and
she was a daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Daniel Light.
Atwood Kreider caught a four
week old bluejay at the Spring
Ground and under his care it
it growing nicely. One of the
things it loves to eat is the yolk
of hard boiled eggs. It took
some patience to teach the bird
to eat and drink as it was used
to taking its nourishment out
of the bill of the parent birds.
It's cap is just starting to form.
The bluejay is a very pretty
bird, but destructive to the nests
of other birds and is rather
mischievous and tricky.
A double seated carriage, pull-ed
by one horse, passed thru
town on Monday and caused
considerable comment. Single
seaters are still common but for
some reason or other the double
seaters are seldom seen. In
years to come they will be class-ed
among antiques and the
younger generations will laugh
at the old vehicle. The Ford
undoubtedly has taken the place
of the old family carriage.
A set of team bells for six
horses as used years ago, was
sold by H. H. Snavely to a col-lector
of antiques .at a good
price. The bells were used on
a mill team. There are three
sizes of bells, producing differ-ent
tones. They were consid-ered
a necessary part of a good
team in the old days before the
dawn of the auto truck. On
narrow roads they served as a
warning. If a team became
mired and it was necessary for
another teamster with his out-fit
to assist in pulling the wagon
out he took the bells off the
stalled horses, according to the
custom of the time. Naturally
these bells are becoming scarce.
Two messages of suicides to
near relatives living under the
same roof is unusual. John
Hertzler received the shocking-notice
of the death of his bro-ther
and not many hours after-ward
Charles Mohn received
news of his father's death, un-der
similar circumstances. Both
men live in the same house on
the outskirts of Philadelphia.

some of the schools is increasing be-yond
the allotment allowed each
school as taken from the census.
Ideal Picnic Big Success
Three hundred persons attended the
Ideal Chocolate Company picnic at
Penryn park last Thursday, represent-ing

scrambles, some enjoyed boating,
bathing and dancing. An orchestra
was taken along from Lititz. Ice
cream and coffee was provided free.
Dinner and supper was eaten at the
park. Auto busses and individual
autos carried the picnickers.

contest the winners were Clyde Keller
Harry Myers, Miss Ella Eshleman
and Mrs. Jacob Hertzler. 1
Rain on July 4th 25 Years Ago
It-is exactly twenty-ftve years ago
that a rain storm ended the Fourth
of July celebration in the Springs as
the one did on Saturday night. More
damage was done then, than was done
on Saturday night. The rainstorm
was a most severe one accompanied
by high winds. It came from the
north and came so rapidly that those
who were on the Spring grounds did
not have time to move out and were
compelled .to find shelter in the build-ings
at hand. It came down so heav-ily
and the wind was so strong that
the decorations and the fixtures for
the illumination were made playthings
of an turned and twisted into rags
and sticks. Heavy limbs were brok-

How the Housekeeper Can Save on
Gas Bills
By C. C. Grim, Supt. of Lititz Gas
Co. Gas bills that appear to be high-er
than they ought to be are frequent-ly
the result of the extravagant use
of gas and could easily be cut down
by the housewife. Some of the rea-sons
for large gas bills is as follows:
1. Because the housewife uses the
giant burner when a small one would
do.
2. She lights two burners and then
lets one wait while she prepares the
food.
3. She takes food off the fire and
lets the gas burn until she has the
time to put on a kettle of water.
4. She buys all sorts of gas saving
devices, without finding out whether
they really save gas although the gas
company would be glad to tell her.
5. She uses the gas oven as a place
to store food, the moisture of which
causes the oven to rust, then she wond-ers
why the range wears out so soon.
6. She lets water and food boil
furiously, instead of turning down the
flame.

LUCK CHANGES FOR
COAST TO COAST HIKERS
Young and Mohn are Haying Varied
Experiences
In a letter received yesterday by
Mr. and Mrs. Howard Young, the
two boys who left Lititz several weeks,
ago have a different story to tell front •
that which they first told.
When they reached Scranton, Iowaf
they stopped at a gas station. While
there, there was a heavy thunder-storm.
During the storm the light-ning
struck in a barn across the way.
The local lads were the first to reach
the spot. They attempted to save
the live stock but were unsuccessful.
They however helped the fire company
and worked hard during the storm
and were rewarded by several offers
to supper and a nights lodging.
Thus far things have been going
smoothly, but when they hit West
Side, Iowa, their luck changed for
"lifts" were no longer plentiful. They
have an awful lot of rain and the
Lincoln highway is in a poor condi-tion
with mud about a foot deep at
some places. This accounts for the
limited traffic. The hikers walked
two miles in mud to their ankles when
to their greatest delight a truck pick-ed
them up. When they reached the
next town they decided to stop, until
they were sure of a lift. They got it-lift
in a Packard and thus reached
Wood River, Neb., "dead broke."'-
They were sort of down and out but
secured work in a hay field. Here
they worked for one week, working
only a half a day each day. At the
end of the wek they were $5 richer
and had been feed on chicken and
fine grub for one week.
The day before the 4th they started-for
Cheyenne. That day they hiked
till they were "cock-eyed" as thej?
