A f t e r fifty years of service, Bishop
Moench well deserves a needed rest.

Too Early to Talk Tobacco Price*
Unusual Situation This Year
There has been little or no talk of
tobacco buying and the crop bringing
around seven million dollars annually
into the f a r m e r ' s pockets in this coun-t
y has been given no consideration
one way or the other at this stage of
t h e game.
Other years back at this season
t h e r e were at least specultion as to
the price to • be paid, some buyers
flitting around if not some actual
sales reported. Last year the buying
season was late. For some reason
or other even the growers do not seem
to be excited about the situation. By
Christmas during some seasons the
crop was moving merrily towards the
warehouses. Later the buyers
weren't so anxious to buy until they
saw how t h e crop was curing. Even
stripping of late year^ is done later
in the season.
If the buyers have any plans for
t h e f u t u r e they are not advertising
them. It has however been pointed
out from time to time t h a t there are
warehouses in all p a r t s of the county
where crops for several seasons have
not been moved.
As to the price for this years crops,
even at the meeting of tobacco grow-ers,
no one has attempted to throw
light on the subject, evidently content
to wait and see, as in time all things
a r e sifted out.
Tobacco Growing Discussed
by a Reader
Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day will be ob-served
as a general holiday next
Thursday, when the banks,
stores and factories will be
closed in town.
The postoffice hours will be
from 7 to 9 A. Ml There will
be no town or rural delivery of
mail.
Many persons in town will
attend the F. & M. and Gettys-burg
turkey day football game
at Lancaster in the afternoon.
For a number of years the tobacco
growing industry was sitting on the
comfortable chair of producing quant-ity
in order to make a greater profit.
The result of this today has drifted
into an unhappy figure. There are
over 113,000,000 pounds of Pennsyl-vania
leaf tobacco on hand. It takes
both sides ' to tell the t r u t h . Quality
fa neglected as never before. Seed
can be planted with the promise of
quality, but to harvest quality it must
meet with certain conditions. To
maintain a standard of quality the
plants should be set out early enough
to finish and ripen. Quite a lot is
planted late, which is cut when small
and green. If there were such a thing
as withstanding the winter, t h e r e would
be a f a i r chance of maturing the fol-lowing
season.
There are many things pointing to
advisability of growing better quality
to realize better prices. Another
suggestion would be to cut down the
acreage and gi/ve it the same or more
attention of that which is given to"*tBe"
big acreage.
Quite lately some Pennsylvania to-bacco
was sold for 35 cents a pound.
That was a type of quality.
The publicity of this price is only
made to encourage growers to an ef
f o r t to raise better tobacco and less
low grade husk.
Pennsylvania tobacco must enter
in a new era. The cigar manufac-t
u r e r and consumer ' will and are de-manding
the right grade. They can't
be fooled very long. They know
aroma when it comes to paying their
money for it.
ODD FELLOWS HELD

Owl Hill Man Sues for Patent In-fringement
Attorneys for Enos L. Stoltzfus of
Gap, and Isaac B. Miller, Owl Hill,
Lititz, R. D. 4, have filed a bill in
equity in the United States District
Court at Philadelphia against the
Good Roads Machinery Company and
the American Road Machinery Com-pany
f o r infringments of patent r i g h ts
held by the plaintiffs on dump-car
improvements.
The patent in question was issued
to Miller arid Stoltzfus J u l y 30, 1909,
on dump cars by the Commissioner
of Patents, at Washington. The pa-t
e n t was awarded to them for seven-teen
years from the date of issue.
The cart automatically dumps the
load.
While no definite amount is stated
in the bill in equity, the plaintiffs
allege their losses extending over a
period of several years, amounts to
nearly $100,000.
The bill in equity was filled by J.
C. Wobensmith, Philadelphia; John
N. Hetrick, Lancaster, and Gable
Vaughin and Gaul, Philadelphia, at-torneys
for Miller and Stoltzfus.
Mr. Miller one of the plaintiffs,
came to Owl Hill some years ago
f r om Philadelphia.
Appreciated It
Horace L. Eschbach, who celebrat-ed
his birthday on Monday wishes to
t h a n k everyone who helped to make
t h e day a happy one f o r him. He re-ceived
many cards and letters and
also a visit f r om Rev. Crosland, Ed-winj
and Henry Sturgis. Mr. Esch-bach
is at the present time taking
care of B. H. Hershey at Manheim.
Moravian Ushers Association to Hold
Father and Son Meeting
Be sure to attend the f a t h e r and
son regular meeting of the Moravian
Ushers' Association this evening. A
t r e a t is in store for all.
Union Thanksgiving in Churches
The union Thanksgiving service will
be held in the Evangelical church on
Thanksgiving morning at 10 A. M.
The sermon will be preached by Rev.
F. A. Weicksel and the offering will
be f o r t h e benefit of the General Hos-pital.
There are at present five Lit-i
t z young ladies engaged as
nurses in the Lancaster St.
J o s e p h ' s Hospital besides sev-eral
more at the General Hos-pital.
This augers well for Lit-itz.
These young women are
doing their best, like the good
Samaritan, for the alleviation
of t h e sick and the suffering be-sides
receiving an education
along the lines of doing good
which will mean much to them
as long as they live. They de-serve
all t h e praise you can be-stow
upon them.
What is now North Alley may
some day become Lititz Springs
Avenue. Terminating on Broad
s t r e e t , just across f r om t h e Park
entrance, it is a short cut route
f r om many parts of town, so
t h a t , if Lititz continues growing,
this alley will step f r om i t s low-ly
position to an avenue. This
will mean that residences will
be built there to replace many
of the present stables. Natural-ly,
this is only a dream of the
f u t u r e , but it is what a num-ber
of persons here have vis-ualized.
Those Lancaster countains who
lost their money in the R. L.
Dollings company may be inter-ested
in knowing that two of*
t h e head officials have been sent
to the federal penitentiary at
Atlanta, Ga. They a r e William
G. Benham, former president,
who drew a seven years term,
and Dwight L. Harrison, form-er
secretary, sent up for six
years. Both are residents of
Ohio, where the parent company
was promoi&L While the
exact amount of money lost by
Lancaster county investors in
the Dollings coriipany was never
disclosed it is known to be well
up in t h e thousands. An agent
located at Ephrata did a big
business up to the time of the
crash. The sales talk was, "It
can't fail." It cleaned up the
l i f e time savings of some old
people in this part of the coun-ty.
The local agent who had f a i th
in the company to induce his
f r i e n d s to buy is in another line
of business, realizing that he
was duped and a pawn in the
business. He may feel bad but
it won't bring back t h e money.
The head officials serving in jail
may prove a lesson to others
who a r e playing the game crook-edly
but hardly compensates for
being separated f r om t h e money
earned by hard and long toil.
Much has been said on this sub-ject,
but it seems to be human
n a t u r e to give up money with-out
proper investigation, taking
t h e agent's say so as the final
conclusion.

CATFISH STOCKED AT
ZARTMAN'S DAM
Dam, Torn Away by Flood, Being
Repaired
Three cans of catfish, f r om three
to five inches in length, were consig-ned
to F r a n k Rader, f r om the State
Department of Hatcheries and re-leased
at E. K. Zartman's, on Tues-day
evening.
Although high water tore away the
dam at that place some months ago,
a temporary dam was made to di-vert
the main stream to the mill and
the fish were placed there. It is be-lieved
that some of the fish will be
big enough for table use by next
summer.
The old dam breast is being repair-ed
at the present time, concrete be-i
n g used this time. The old dam was
constructed of large stones. Leeking
Brothers of Rothsville are doing the
work. Zartman's better known as
Brubaker's dam, with plenty of lily
flowers, is considered an ideal place
f o r catfish and not ¿many years ago
good catches could be made.

The present speculation in Florida
real estate seem to be inflated to
persons who occasionally visit that
state. A f a r m e r f r om near Lititz who
toured parts of that southern state
remarked on his r e t u r n that he saw
no land he would t r a d e for his Lan-caster
county farm.
Previously most of the real estate
sales were transacted with Northern
visitors and generally they were stung
At t h a t time the orange groves, while
they were beautiful to look at and
contemplate, were no bonanza as a
money m^ker.
Now all at once Florida booms up
as an El Dorado, discovered after
these many years. It, however, has
the climate, and with the practically
s h o i t time it can be reached from
t h e north, will be an attraction for
t h e north—a winter playground. As
f o r the f e r t i l i t y of t h e land there are
sections that will grow fine crops,
other parts t h a t require heavy f e r t i l i -
zation year a f t e r year and plenty of
land entirely worthless. It will be in-t
e r e s t i n g to look at Florida twenty
years from now, or less, as the in-flated
boom will have passed, and
Florida will have to stand on its own
merits.
Financially for many years it was a
poor state, with less! money in its
banks t h a n Lancaster county.
Sometimes the El Dorado is to be
found at home and those who go f ar
in search of it are often disappointed.
For a person born in the north, a f t er
living in climate like Florida, there
may be too much similarity and snow
and the rigors of winter might be
a welcome change.
Dr. H. A. Cuppy, who spent the
g r e a t e r p a r t of last winter in Florida
s t a t ed that he wouldn't touch real
e s t a t e in that state with a ten foot
pole.
Many persons f r om Lititz and vic-i
n i ty intend going to Florida on pleas-ure
this winter.
R. M. SPACHT
WORKING ON NEW
FURNITURE STORE
Considering Putting Community
Market House in Basement
R. M. Spacht s t a r t e d remodeling the
Rudy building for his new f u r n i u re
store, expecting to have it completed
by March. The front of the first
s t o r y will be torn out, and filled in
with limestone. Inside there will be
open stairways to the third floor, an
electric elevator, funeral auditorium
and casket display room on the third
floor and the latest designed morgue,
leaving plenty of room for the display
of furniture.
A building will be erected in the
rear of the store for storage, cabinet
shop and garage.
In the basement there will be three
storerooms with easy entrances. It
has been suggested to Mr. Spacht that
p a r t of the basement would make a
fine place for a market house. He
s t a t ed t h a t he would be willing to do
all he can to build up marketing con-ditions
in Lititz.
County Firemen Will Meet on Novem-ber
27
The November meeting of the Lan-caster
County Firemen's Association
will be held in Hope Fire Company
hall, Manheim, on Friday evening,
November 27. A prominent speaker,
interested in volunteer fire fighting
will be present to address the meeting.
The Eizabethtown Fire Company,
which planned to hold the 1926 annual
meeting, has abandoned the project
and a new meeting place will be se-lected,
at this meeting.
Plans for the second annual ban-quet,
in J a n u a r y will be made. The
a f f a i r will probably be one of the
largest among the eastern Pennsyl-vania
Fire Associations.
Dogs Killed Thirty-Five Pound
Turkey
H a r r y Bucher, a f a r m e r near Lit-itz
who is a successful t u r k e y raiser,
t h e other day discovered that his
thirty-five pound turkey gobbler-was
killed by dogs. He kept this bird as
a breeder. Mr. Bucher estimates his
t o t a l loss within the past month due
to dogs at $150. He says t h a t he is
c e r t a i n that most of the dogs doing
t h e damage are not licensed and none
of them were accompanied by their
owners. Recently he had a local
officer on t h e f a rm watching for dogs.
Woman Had Brainstorm at Neffsville
Throwing everything she could
seize in the house Mrs. F r a n k Groff,
aged 40, of Neffsville wrecked her
home early Sunday morning and held
her husband at bay in a room for six
hours. Every window upstairs was
smashed, and the place looked as if
a cyclone had hit it. The lawn out-side
was littered with broken house-furnishings
t h a t she had aimed at her
husband.
Although raving mad she was coax-ed
away by Constable Steagerwalt,
who took her to the Lancaster jail.
New Eleetric Line
An electric light and power line is
to be constructed f r om Lititz to Lime
Rock, two miles west of Lititz, along
t h e southern road leading to Manheim
via Longenecker's meeting house. The
stone quarries at Lime Rock expect
to use considerable power while f a r m -
ers along the line want the light.
Poles a r e already distributed and the
line is to be completed in December.
The article last week explaining
t h a t Lititz needs a town hall, met with
much comment and interest. Review-ing
the history of Lititz, one of the
early needs of a town was met in the
erection of the old Lyceum building.
Then came Bomberger's Hall, too
small f r om the s t a r t and only a fact-or
for a short time. Then the Mora-vian
Sunday school chapel was used
as the only place where a crowd could
be housed. It was a relief to the
church authorities when they could use
this building for their own conven-ience,
when- Linden Hall auditorium
was built with thé understanding that
it was to be a community, center..
Linden Hall auditorium is now used
exclusively for the school, and the
High school gymnasium and auditor-ium
was the next and only logical
place.
Now the growth in the public school
causes a mixup of affairs in doing
double duty as a tecreation place for
the children and a community centre.
Step by step Lititz has outgrown
one place a f t e r another. From a log-ical
standpoint and as the need of the
hour, Lititz requires a new community
hall. A gathering place of this kind
has always proved its value in the
past and is an asset to the town. A
town either moves forward or back-ward.
¡¿Three Women Acquitte™ of Murder
Three murder cases, in which wo-men
were the accused, were heard at
Lancaster Court this week.
Mrs. Bertha Baxter, following a
comparatively brief trial for the kill-ing
of George Coffroad, a neighbor,
at Mt. Pleasant, on the morning of
September 10,, was acquitted Tues-day,
by a j u r y t h a t deliberated only
a little more than an hour. Mrs.
Catherine Tracey, of Marietta, the
woman who had been charged with
the murder of her baby, was freed by
the Grand J u r y on Tuesday.
The case of Mrs. Susan Shreiner,
was brought up before Judge Landis
on Tuesday afternoon, charged with
t h e murder of her common-law hus-band,
at Rome on Sept. 13. Dr. M. H.
Yoder, B. F. Grosh, Henry Martin,
Mr. and Mrs. Leipold, of this place
and vicinity, appeared as witnesses.

TURKEY KING AMONG
THANKSGIVING FOWLS
At 55 Cents a Pound Not Many Will
Grace Local Tables
Farmers are asking 50 and 55 cents
a pound live weight here for home
grown turkeys. While shipped tur-keys
in the city markets are bringing
34 and 36 cents a pound live weight
and 50 cents dressed, naturally there
is no comparison to a home grown,
corn fattened fowl. The price is such,
however, that turkey feast in the
average family is a rare event.
Compared to the medium price of
goose, duck and chicken there are
many who will not pay the difference
for the high price asked for turkey.
Shooting matches are being adver-tised
for turkeys at Neffsville, Man-heim
and Brickerville, while there are
some "rafflings" booked "on the quiet."
