No Rain There for Months and None
Expected » for Long Time
Theodore Bush, writing- f r om Hono-lulu,
Hawaiian Islands, says, " I am
picking a few mangoes off my own
trees. They are choice fruit. I had
three sets of blossoms on, one tree. I
am picking some fruit ami the last
blossoms are just setting. Our man-goes
have a small seed and are thick
in meat. The pears (alligator) are
coming along slowly. Our f r u i t de-velops
much slower than the fruit
you have at home. Some of these
pears are on the tree for a year. We
have had no rain since last winter
and every person says there will be
no rain until next winter.
»At Schofield Barracks, twenty-five
miles from the city of Honolulu, the
soldiers have moved out, due to lack
of water. They have gone to summer
camps and some have come to the
city fort.
At the barracks the water is turned
on only three hours a day. Where
the sugar plantations depend on rain
they are- hard hit, but -where water
is pumped the sugar cane is looking
good.
There seems to be a real estate
boom here. Land along the beach
is worth $2 a square foot. When -I
bought my lot is was 5% cents a foot.
My lot is now assessed at three times
what I paid for it.
Charles Rosenberg, manufac-t
u r e r of Century Oil, received
a letter from a purchaser who
wrote, "Purchased a bottle of
your product at the bean soup.''
This seems like a cross word
pu-zzle to the average person,
but the Lititz man readily ex-plained
it by saying t h a t in the
central part of the state, in a
little town a bean soup festival
is held annually, the country-side
folks coming there to eat
bean, soup, just as chicken corn
soup is a favorite dish in this
county. For short, t h e festival
is called the ."bean soup." Mr.
Rosenberger has attended this
festival for years.

GROWS SUGAR PEAS FROM SAME
SEED FOR FIFTY YEARS
Mrs. D. Wal Evans has been rais-ing
sugar peas from the same strain
for exactly fifty years. Her mother
grew this variety and she received
seed from her, half a century ago.
She selected the seed f r om the strong-est
stalks year after year and has
really improved . them. The pod is
large and tender. Sugar peas are
best if prepared for the t,able the

United Brethren will s t a r t on Wednes-day,
June 16th to continue to Wed-nesday,
June 30th.
All children of junior age will meet
in- t h e Moravian church, same as last
year. The- children of Primary age,
south of Main street, will meet in the
Evangelical church; all children north
of Main street, west of Broad, north
of Front and west of Liberty, meet

Dawson Yake of Annville v\'as
elected president of the Lebanon
county Patriotic Sons of Am-erica.
At a recent county meet-ing
at Richland the Sons took
a decided stand on old-fashioned
Americanism, recommending
t h a t measures be taken to pre-vent
communistic meetings of
school children such as those
held in Philadelphia recently, at
which the United States govern-ment
was; assailed.
The Convention indorsed the
immigration restriction bill now
sponsored in Congress by Con-gressman
Johnson.
Mr. Yake, it will be remem-bered,
worked at the blacksmith
trade here" f o r the late Lewis
Murr. Longfellow's poem on
the blacksmith attributes "An
honest man is he." A hard
working blacksmith, earning his
bread by the sweat of his brow,
with calloused hands, and arms
of steel, would be the last man
we would pick to be in sympathy
with communistic ideas. The
order, we believe, picked a
good man to uphold the stan-dard
of Americanism, which
their order so strongly indorses.
CELEBRATED SIXTIETH BIRTH-DAY

TRAVELERSJIEAB AND FAR
COLUMN TO KEEP YOU IN,
TOUCH WITH OLD AND
NEW NAMES
The evolving of a tomato,
f r om a garden ornament to a
table delicacy, the likewise im-provement
of the orange, the
strawberry, the pineapple, have
a counterpart in the bringing
out of the beauty in flowers—
all this forms interesting read-ing.
Read the history of the pansy,
t h e flower that seems to smile
and spreads cheerfulness:
William Toole died in Wiscon-sin
recently. Few outside of
his State knew him. Hundreds
of thousands have enjoyed real
pleasure f r om his work. It add-ed
to the world's beauty.
Mr. Toole is credited with put-t
i ng the pansy before the Am-erican
flower gardens. Before
he domesticated and developed
it the pansy was a rare and
timid wild flower. He experi-mented
with it f r om 1874 until
his death. He domesticated 83
varieties of wild flowers and al-so
changed the color of many of
them. But the domestication
and improvement of the pansy
was his triumph. He leaves his
work behind—warm, living col-ors
of tens of thousands of gar-dens,
bringing pleasure to eye
and nostril, adding beauty to
t h e air. The world is a plea-santer
place because William
Toole lived and worked.
\
A "Man-sized" telephone directory
containing more than 100,000 listings
being the fourth largest telephone
directory in the State, will be distri-buted
to telephone subscribers here,
by the Bell Telephone Company of
Pennsylvania, beginning June 3.
The new book will contain all tele-phone
numbers formerly appearing in
both the Harrisburg directory and the
Lancaster-York directory. Lebanon
subscribers, listed in the Reading
book will likewise appear in the new
directory.
The only other directories in Penn-sylvania
larger than the new book,
are the Philadelphia directory, the
P i t t s b u r g h directory and the Scran-ton-
Wilkes Barre directory. The lat-ter
contains only 12 pages more than
the new 300 page book t h a t will be
used here.
The chief purpose of the combin-ation
of these directories is for the
convenience of the telephone subscrib-ers
making out-of-town calls. Since
the establishment of the quick out-of-town
service between cities linked
up by direct telephone wires, the need
for a book that contains telephone
listings for the entire section so con-nected,
has been felt. The new book
is to supply t h a t need.
Instead of calling "information" for
many out-of-town telephone numbers,
the new book will immediately supply
the numbers. Out-of-town calls can
then be made as conveniently and al-most
as quickly as local calls.
Another advantage of the combined
book will result from the larger clas-sified
business section. Business
men in Harrisburg will become known-to
telephone subscribers in Lancas-ter,
York, etc., while Lancaster and
York business listings will be acces-sible
to Harrisburg subscribers.
CENTRAL MARKET GROWING
The Central market was crowded
with buyers on Saturday, who were
not disappointed by coming. Five

chickens, pies, cakes, onions, radishes,
eggs, etc. One farmer sold 100 cups
of cup cheese. Another stand will be
added this week, making six tables
in all. The market, by all reports, is
very much appreciated.
