In conjunction with a program of

to check (predatory fur bearing ani-mals
or destructive rodents, the

DEATH TAKES MANY
MISS MARION HESS
The engagement of Miss Marion
Hess, of Ephrata, to Jajmes G. Starr,

College and at present is a teacher in

director and coach of the basketball
team.
Many were surprised (when
they heard that Tuesday morn-ing
was next to the coldest yet
•this winter with a temperature
¡of 8 above. One Saturday about
three weeks ago it was 6 above
in the morning. Manheim re-.
ported 6 above Tuesday morn-ing,
and other places round
about Lititz reported tempera-tures
from 6 to 10 above.
But no matter ¡how cold we
(were, the frigid air and sun-light

good iwallop and that is some-thing.
Doctors lare getting
some rest, and everyone hopes
that the moderation! in the
weather, last night, will not
mean that there will be more
flu.
