several more shaken up Sunday after-neon

cars on the Lincoln Highway, east ol
Lancaster. The injured were Harry
Eckert, 79, cuts on face requiring 20
stitches, and Robert Buch, 4, son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. Edward Buch, cuts
and bruises. They were treated at
St. Joseph's hospital.
The accident occurred when a car,
cwned by Paul Julius, of York, stop-ped
suddenly before making a left
hand turn off the highway. This car
was followed by one driven by Ralph
Buch of town, in which J. E. Buch
and his son were riding. Although
Mr. Buch stopped in time to prevent
h i t t i n g Julius' car, Miss Myrtle Eck-ert,
driving in back of Ralph, was un-able
to stop before hitting that car.
Another car turned out in time to
avoid hitting Miss Eekert's machine.
Mr. Eckert was riding with Miss Eck-ert,
his daughter.

Mr. and Mrs. John P. Mohler and

stopped several days with Israel
Royer and family at Carlisle, Pa.,
Mr. Mohler and Mr. Royer having
been former schoolmates. They re-port
decidedly cool weather on their
t r i p and returned just in time to hit
the end of the hot wave experienced

REV. BYRON K. HORNE
1)49 Enrolled In School;
Senior Class Numbers 50
With 949 pupils enrolled, the larg-est
number in history, Lititz schools
leopened Tuesday morning and by
yesterday afternoon were well on the
read to becoming settled for the Fall
and Winter work. Ninety boys and
girls are enrolled in the first grades.
This year the graduating class
numbers 43 full-fledged seniors and
7 conditioned students, making a pos-sibility
of fifty graduates in June.
There are two girls and one boy tak-ing
post graduate work.
According to Supervising Principal
M. C. Demmy, the numbers enrolled
in the various grades tally almost
exactly with those published last
week in the RECORD. He requests
t h a t if there are any more children
in town whose parents wish to start
them in the first grade this term,
they should enter at once as t h e y will
not be eligible a f t e r the second week
of school.
All of the teachers returned to
their posts on time and are hard at
work getting courses functioning
smoothly.

Campaign of THE RECORD finds
more and more coupon books being
circulated and more and moi'e people
g e t t i n g ten cents discount on cash
purchases of $1.00 or more at our
local stores. But there are many
more who could profit by having a
coupon book, and they are urged to
h u r r y up to get one. This campaign
closes September 24th, and coupons
a r e not good a f t e r October 1.
For every $1.50 paid to us for a

we are giving a book of coupon?
worth $3.00. These coupons are good
for the 10 cents discount at any of the
2S stores and garages listed in the
large advertisement on pages 8 and 9
J u s t turn to that list and see what
stores you can go to and save money
There are hundreds of subscribers
whose papers are due this Fall, and.
since money paid for renewals is re-warded
with coupon books, we urge
them to drop in and get some. You
would be paying for your subscription
soon at any rate, so why not do it
earlier and take advantage of this
offer.
Large Crowd Expected Here
To Hear General Butler
Many thousands of people are ex-pected
here Saturday a week wher
General S. D. Butler the fighting ma-rine,
will speak in the Springs Park

Legion. George Hensel's Old

The roundup will start in the af-ternoon
with fiddle music and wih
conclude in the evening with Genera'
Butler's talk and music by Tex and
Hank's Cowboy Band. Other events
will be on the program and many
families are planning to picnic in the
park t h a t day.
Many Warned For Parking-
Scores of motorists have been war-ned
for illegal parking in town in the
past week following the p u t t i n g into
effect of the new parking ordinance
here and a r r e s t s will follow soon, ac-cording
to Chief of Police Kreider.
Although the majority of local dri-vers
are following out the letter of
the law, t h e r e are still some who for-get
it or take a chance. The fine for

to park correctly t h a n to pay the fine.

Thousands To See
"Battles" In Park
4 Jug Bands To Compete For
Cup Saturday At Big Affair;
Don't Miss "Cloud Battle"
Thousands of people are going to
be drawn here Saturday to witness
two battles, probably the oddest bat-tles
this old county has ever seen.
They are the "Battle of Music" and
"Battle in the Clouds," and they are
the features of the great double
spectacle being staged in the Springs
Park by the Springs Committee.
The music battle will bring to-gether
four of the best jug bands in
the Eastern part of the State to com-pete
for a silver cup. Jug bands have
been a recent development around
here and their tunes are growing
more and more popular. So when
four of them get together, there wiL
be SOME crowd to hear them.
These four bands are the Susque-hanna
Mountaineers, the Green Jug-
Hay Hackers, the Blue Stone Ramb-lers
and the Smoky Hill Jug Band.
The Green J u g outfit is our local en-try—
very well liked in this section.
Just how they are going to compete
we cannot say at this time, but we do
vouchsafe that it will be highly en-tertaining.
Then the great battle in the clouds,
which is listed as a $1,000 awe-inspiring
spectacle, and it will be
staged under the personal supervision
of Earl Rebman, of Lancaster. Th; .
is going to be a real t r e a t and should
not be missed.
The P a r k will be cleared at 5 P. M.
and right a f t e r that the music wiL

Fig Tree Bears Fruit Here
A fig tree in the yard of Levi Erb,
Spruce Street is bearing f r u i t and is
a t t r a c t i n g wide attention in town. Up
to Saturday, Mr. Erb had taken off
about 6 q u a r t s of the f r u i t and there
were many more figs still on. While
it is unusual f o r a fig t r e e to grow in
this climate, there are several around
this- section and Mr. E r b is t r y i n g to
s t a r t two more here in Lititz. For
several years the tree has yielded
about 25 quarts of f r u i t . Ripe figs
t a s t e quite different f r om the dried
ones bought in stores and are of a
reddish color on the inside. Mr. Erb
will be glad to show the tree to any
who call at his home.

which they were housed were destroy-ed
