Buch will be nine-one years old on Saturday and is still active. Mr. Buch maintains his coach shop, where he works now and then, such as painting automobiles and chairs and repair jobs. Mr. Buch was at the Sesqui-Cen-tennial exhibition in Philadelphia for several days and attended several county fairs. He shows little change in the past several years. He takes a pride in his dress, and his careful grooming, with patent leather shoes, white vest, frocktail coat and derby hat makes him conspicious even in a crowd. Mr. Buch says he enjoys life, has no aches or pains, is not restricted to diet and sleeps soundly. He has never used tobacco and has been mod-erate in all things. He appears to be in good humor at' all times, and laughs, whistles and sings as he feels like it. His hand is still steady and his hearing and eyesight belie his age. He says he has no grievences against the new order of things and avers it is far from him to condemn the present dress of women. BIRTHDAYS October 16—Mrs. Sarah C. Beckler. October 22—Albert O.

ELECTED VICE PRESIDENT AT NATIONAL CONVENTION OF INSURANCE COMPANIES Henry Gibbel, Jr., was a representa-tive last week at the National Con-vention of the mutual fire insurance companies at Louisville, Ky. His father, H. R. Gibbel, was elected vice president of the association, altho he was not present. <A O u r Town round TO DEDICATE MONUMENT Post 56, American Legion will have j charge of the dedicatory exercises of the memorial shaft at Neffsville, which has been erected by the citizens of that town. It is very likely that Chaplain H. B. Swartz, of the local post will deliver the dedicatory ad-dress. The post will attend in a body, all the men wearing uniforms. Frank Rader found a hornet's nest in the woods, which he brought home and hung in his cigar store. Some hours later some one discovered that a wood mouste had a nest in it and now the little animal after making tours around the cigar store, scurries back to the nest when alarmed. A wood mouse is different from the ordinary mouse, has long ears and a long tail and is white underneath its body. It is a very timid animal. The acid of the apple, like that of the lemon, is an anti-septic. A Japanese Physician showed that these f r u i t acids de-stroy the germs of typhoid fev-er and also the cholera germ. It has long been known that a diet of apples is an excellent remedy for chronic dysentry. An old distich goes: "To eat an apple on going to bed, Will make the doctor beg his bread." Equally well based would be the slogan: "Six apples a day Will keep headache away." Most headaches are due to intestinal toxemia, the result of inactivity of the colon. Apples at meals and at bedtime serve in many cases as an excellent laxative, and thus make an end of the headaches by removing the cause. The apple is a good means of reducing surplus flesh. An overweight person may eat all the apples he wants, provided he will eat nothing but apples, (Continued on Page 4) M any Special Premiums for Community Show The premium lists of the Commun-ity Show to be held here on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 28, 29 and 30, have been distributed.

They will be put on display at some future date, some where in town. APPROACHING ELECTION IS QUIET HERE Ten days will intervene between now and the holding of the general election in November. The time will be none too long for the voters of Lancaster County to study the matter of men and mleasures upon which they will be called to pass. The Lancaster county electors will be called upon to vote for a Govern-or, a United States Senator,. a re-presentative in Congress, and four members of the State Legislature. Politics has been quiet in town, voters having probably decided on their candidates and are not telling how they will vote. Rat in Seaplane- Told by Lititz Man Trap Made Here Caught Rodent After 13-Day Flight Jerome Vogler of Lititz, wrote a thrilling story which appeared in the Philadelphia Public Ledger the past Sunday under the caption "My Flight in the Sky with a Huge Rat." It is not fiction but a true story, the adjec-tive "my", referring to Charles R. Brown, of the United States Air Forces. The narrative occupies a full page with illustrations. Lieuterant Brown, relates the author, started from Hampton Roads with a squadron for Cuba. Everything was serene, with fair weather and plane flying fault-lessly. Then after several hundred miles at sea, and at an altitude of some 6000 feet, the air pilot, amid the hum of the motor and the whistle of the brace wires, heard a discordant note, a faint squeak. It was repeat-ed and, while on land a noise of this kind 'may cause no alarm, to an air pilot, a mile above the clouds it causes more than curiosity. Lieutenant Brown saw a half-famished r a t make its appearance, so near that he kicked at it. For thirteen days the pilot had the aerial stowaway for company, the ro-dent showing wariness in retreating and hiding. As the rat became fam-ished for food and water, it gnawed at wooden braces; but the greatest danger was of it becoming jammed in the rudder controls. Landing at the destination, Guac-anayabo Bay, brought relief to the airman, and he lost no time in quit ting the plane when the madden ro-dent, no 'longer fearful of man and desperate for food, charged in his di-rection. The villian, as in the drama, after threatening death and causing endless trouble, walked into a trap. A trap was secured at the nearest town and baited with cheese. Ten minutes later, after a thirteen days fast, the l a t bit eagerly at the bait, and the story ended, with a moral that in the future, air pilots will do well to ob-serve, "Have we any rats on board." Ed. Note—Not that the story has been glossed over, probably the most interesting part is yet to come, add-ing a distinct Lititz flavor to it, and giving the real inside details. The t r ap with its hair-trigger and death dealing spring was made at the trap factory at Lititz, and shipped to Cuba, the factory here, doing a world-wide business. Some Lititz employee made the trap, little dreaming that it would enter into a thrilling Sunday edition magazine story. ASSAULT AND BATTERY CASE SETTLED Stephen Grumbling, Walter Blantz and Martin Blantz were given a hear-ing before Squire C. N. Derr on charges of assault and battery at the Lexington Hotel. There were plenty of witnesses on hand for plaintiffs and defendents. The case was settled by agreement with defendents paying the cost and satisfying Mrs. Althouse owner of the hotel, for reported dam-ages. | ALUMNI ENTERTAINMENT COURSE The Lititz High School has arrang-ed an entertainment course, with four high class attractions dur-ing the winter. It consists of two musical entertainments, a mystery play and a lecture by Congressman As well. The course will open on Nov. 16, with the All-Star Company of musi-cians. From all indications it will be the best course that was ever undertaken here and should be liberally support-ed. Tickets for the four events are now being offered to the public. TRAVELERSJIEAR AND FAR COLUMN TO KEEP YOU IN TOUCH WITH OLD AND NEW NAMES Misses Pauline and Mildred Milch-sack, of Bethlehem, spent Sunday and' Monday with their aunt Miss Mary Reidenbach.

All men in the audience who had never pinned a flower on their wife or vice versa, were asked to do it then, -which also applied to sweet-hearts.

Official Communication Sent to
Turnpike Co.'s President
The proposed freeing of the Lan
caster-Lititz toll road is causing much
discussion among the citizens of the
town.
The announcement coming from the
county commissioners and the State
Department of Highways, seemed a
little premature, from the fact that
neither the president nor the secre-tary
of the turnpike company were
notified of the proposed offer of $70,-
000 for the pike.
However, on Tuesday, D. M. Gray-bill,
president of the turnpike com-pany
received an official communica-tion,
confirming the news made pub-lic
two weeks ago.
The stockholders will have to
vote on the acceptance or rejec-tion,
after twenty days notice is given.
Cne stockholder openly declared that
he was not satisfied with the price,
while another one asserted that he
was not agreed to give the Conestoga
Traction Company $20,000. D. M.
Graybill, in conversation with a Re-cord
representative said he wanted to
see the pike freed quickly. Notices
to the stockholders were mailed
promptly, for a meeting to be held
on Nov. 8. j.
Naturally it will take time to settle
these differences and come to an un-derstanding
between all the parties
concerned.
The big factor in the proposed
freeing of the pike was a clause at-tached
to the omnibus bill by Repre-sentative
G. G. Diehm. Otherwise,
with the big amount of money involv-ed,
it would have dragged along foe
a long time to come. The State and
county officials have done their duty
to the citizens in this end of the
county by offering the money for the
purchase.
MORE AUTOISTS USING TOLL-FREE
ROAD TO LANCASTER
The opening of the old Oregon Pike,
which has been widened to eighteen
feet and a hot oil binding applied, by
way of Roseville and Landis Valley,
will give auto tourists between Lititz
and Lancaster practically a good free
road. It will be possible to travel
between these two places on hard
surfaced roads, with only a few rough
places. Going on the Lititz turn-pike,
from Lititz, some autoists turn
off at Kissel Hill, while others go to
the crossroads, just before approach-ing
the f i r s t toll gate, and coming out
on the same pike near the last toll
gate, paying two cents toll, or coming
out at Rossmere and evading all toll.
Even before this old Oregon pike
was remade, autoists had increased on
this "back" road to Lancaster, even
trucks using this route. This diver-sion
of traffic, it is said, is cutting
down the revenue of the Lancaster
and Lititz toll road.
ATTENDED FUNERAL OF FORM-ER
AIR PILOT OF THIS PLACE
Mrs. Alberta Behmer and her two
brothers, Barton and Luther Sharp,
attended the funeral of Clarence
Markham at Vineland, N. J., Thurs-day.
The deceased, who was an air
pilot, crashed to death in Philadelphia.
He was in Lititz this summer, having
been employed here as a pilot several
