Zeller, son of the late Theo-dore Zeller, a former Lititz boy who is now Forest Supervisor, of the Tongass National Forest, Alaska, writes a very interesting story on foresters, in that country in the Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle, a daily newspaper published in that city. The Tongass National forest in the southeastern part of Alaska em-braces a large area of acres and there is an estimated amount of 80 billion feet of mercantile lumber available in that area.

Bachman was pleasantly surprised Thursday evening at his home on Spruce Street by members of the class he teaches in the St. Paul's Lutheran Sunday School in honor of his birthday anniversary.

It contains 48 pages, printed on buff-color-ed, double-coated paper and is bound in an art cover, of spec-ial weight paper to increase durability. Governor John S. Fisher util-ized the title page to extend a hearty welcome to tourists everywhere, reminding them that State markers at the borders bearing the word Penn-sylvania may be interpreted al-ways as meaning "welcome."

And Mrs. Gar-rett sticks to her husband, declaring he was interested in the business to bring more patrons to the dances he held at a hotel in order to increase his meager earnings to feed his family of six. A woman and three men were drowned and fifteen others saved in the accident. The boat was returning from a ride after having taken most of the dance patrons to the wharf. Various accounts of the accident were told. It is believed that in the merry making, the old side-wheeler over-turned. A definite cause has not been fixed. Garrett had nothing to do with the running of the boat, his. wife de-clares, being along on the ill-fated trip on the invitation of the man running the boat. League Picnic Today The picnic of the Young Men's Business League is being held this afternoon at Graybill's Meadow, and from advance reports quite a number of members of the organization will attend. Cars will be at the League at 1 o'clock. The games committee will start the program at 1.30 o'clock, and has arranged a fine lot of events for the merriment end of the day, while the lunch to be served has been described as worth walking a mile to eat. A representative of the Hocken-berry System, undertaking a survey of hotel needs in Lititz, has sent out letters to merchants and leaders in the community life relative to the number of persons coming to Lititz to visit them. In connection with the meeting held last week the H. E. Merriman Shoe Company could not consider Lititz as a'possible site for a factory as no suitable building was available. The Industrial Committee of the League did all in their power to bring to a close negotiations with the shoe company, offering payment of their taxes for ten years and a number of other items, but the firm found they could use none of the buildings in town. This interesting letter was sent to us this week by a member of an auto-mobile party of Chester County folks motoring through Lititz and immedi-ate vicinity on the Fourth. He says in part: "We took special note of the fact that many farmers in your section of the county celebrated the Nation's birthday by working in the fields. Your section of the Keystone State, long noted as the richest agricultural county in this part of the country, gives every evidence of a big crop in many lines. Many wheat fields were cut while in other fields the new mown hay sent up an aroma that would be difficult to surpass at this season of the year. The tobacco plants were well under way, and here and there we saw farmers in the field cultivating the young plants and knocking the weeds that lifted their heads among the plants that mean so much to your Lancaster County farmers in a financial way. "Agriculturally speaking your coun-ty is a garden spot, and historically, it is one of the most interesting in this part of the State. "The roads were fine and were a source of much enjoyment except the Lititz-Lancaster Pike, through a picturesque country where the past harmonizes pleasantly with the pre-sent. "We little wondered while driving through your rich county over the holiday, that Lancaster County heads the 67 counties in the value of agri-cultural crops produced during the past year. Her total for the past season was over $18,000,000. Be-sides the richness of her fields, we were impressed with the general up-keep and neat appearance of the barns and homes located along our various routes of travel." Wins Guessing Contest Jim Herner, of North Cedar St., was the winner of the guessing con-test conducted last week at Pfautz Brothers Store in connection with the display of one of the largest suits of overalls in the world. His guess of 810 yards of thread used in making the suit was nearest to 823, the cor-rect number. He received a suit of overalls. Two booby prizes, pairs of gloves, were awarded to Chas. Good, of Lititz, and to P. W. Flory, of Brunnerville. W. C. T. U. Hears Readings Miss Ella Smeltzer led the devo-tions at the meeting of the W. C. T. U. on Monday evening. Readings were given by Mrs. Raymond Dubs, Mrs. J. K. Mathers, Miss L. A. Weit-zel, Miss A. V. Grosh and Mrs. Mary Miksch. It was decided to send a dollar to the National Reform Asso-ciation. Mrs. J. K. Mathers, Mrs. M. C. Demmy and Mrs. Morris Kauffman were appointed a committee to ar-range a program for the annual meet-ing to be held on the lawn of the Coleman Memorial Church at Bricker-ville on Monday, July 29th. Auto-mobiles will be leaving from the Moravian Sunday School Chapel at 1.30 o'clock. Every officer and super-intendent is expected to read her "an-nual report at this meeting. Delphian Club On Picnic The Delphian Club had its annual picnic at Mt. Gretna, where the mem-bers were entertained by Mrs. W. II. Muth on Tuesday. Eighteen members were present and a number of visi-tors. The following officers were elec-ted: President, Miss Mary Huebener; First Vice President, Miss Anna K. Miller; Second Vice President, Mrs. Florence Gibbel; Secretary, Mrs. Frank Dengate; Treasurer, Mrs. Norman Badorf. A vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Muth for the ex-cellent luncheon. Nearly Chokes On Teeth Abram Rhoads, residing near the old toll gate south of town, fell asleep while reading on Sunday evening and swallowed his upper set of artificial teeth. A physician was called at once, but his wife and father suc-ceeded in removing the teeth when he was on the verge of strangulation. Stiffel Feeman Safes Approved Safes manufactured by the Stiffel Freeman Safe Company, of Lititz, came through the annual tests con-ducted by the Underwriters Labora-tories, in Chicago, with the best rat-ings ever achieved by any products of the company last week. So tho-roughly did they pass the tests that they were given the A and B labels of the Underwriters, certifying to their ability to withstand fire. Representatives of the company re-turned this week from Chicago and brought back with them reports that put the Stiffel Freeman safes among the leaders of the world, if not the leader. In the tests, the safes were sub-jected to terrific heat, flames and gas for several hours, and afterward were opened. Papers placed inside were found to be undamaged. After that the safes were taken apart by the Underwriters engineers for an in-spection of the materials used in the making. Apple Picking Time Tillman Stauffer, Lititz Route 3, is preparing to pick a fine crop of yel-low .transparent apples on his farm this week. Early varieties of apple trees look good, but the late varieties seem to be only fair. Spraying to control the codling moth, leaf rollers, bud moths, blotch and apple scab should be done now, or as soon as weather permits. No spraying should be done on varieties that are soon fit to eat or that bear before the Smokehouse variety. Lead arsenate, in the ratio of three pounds to one hundred gallons, or lime-sulphur in about two gallons per 100 make the best sprays. Applica-tion should not be made when the humidity is high nor with a coarse, direct spray, says Farm Agent Bucher. Miss Gross Engaged Mr. and Mrs. Ralph A. Gross, of East Main Street, announce the en-gagement of their daughter, Thelma, to Alonzo P. Diller, son of Mrs. Wil-liam F.

Zeller, son of the late Theo-dore Zeller, a former Lititz boy who is now Forest Supervisor, of the Tongass National Forest, Alaska, writes a very interesting story on foresters, in that country in the Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle, a daily newspaper published in that city. The Tongass National forest in the southeastern part of Alaska em-braces a large area of acres and there is an estimated amount of 80 billion feet of mercantile lumber available in that area.

And Mrs. Gar-rett sticks to her husband, declaring he was interested in the business to bring more patrons to the dances he held at a hotel in order to increase his meager earnings to feed his family of six. A woman and three men were drowned and fifteen others saved in the accident. The boat was returning from a ride after having taken most of the dance patrons to the wharf. Various accounts of the accident were told. It is believed that in the merry making, the old side-wheeler over-turned. A definite cause has not been fixed. Garrett had nothing to do with the running of the boat, his. wife de-clares, being along on the ill-fated trip on the invitation of the man running the boat. League Picnic Today The picnic of the Young Men's Business League is being held this afternoon at Graybill's Meadow, and from advance reports quite a number of members of the organization will attend. Cars will be at the League at 1 o'clock. The games committee will start the program at 1.30 o'clock, and has arranged a fine lot of events for the merriment end of the day, while the lunch to be served has been described as worth walking a mile to eat. A representative of the Hocken-berry System, undertaking a survey of hotel needs in Lititz, has sent out letters to merchants and leaders in the community life relative to the number of persons coming to Lititz to visit them. In connection with the meeting held last week the H. E. Merriman Shoe Company could not consider Lititz as a'possible site for a factory as no suitable building was available. The Industrial Committee of the League did all in their power to bring to a close negotiations with the shoe company, offering payment of their taxes for ten years and a number of other items, but the firm found they could use none of the buildings in town. This interesting letter was sent to us this week by a member of an auto-mobile party of Chester County folks motoring through Lititz and immedi-ate vicinity on the Fourth. He says in part: "We took special note of the fact that many farmers in your section of the county celebrated the Nation's birthday by working in the fields. Your section of the Keystone State, long noted as the richest agricultural county in this part of the country, gives every evidence of a big crop in many lines. Many wheat fields were cut while in other fields the new mown hay sent up an aroma that would be difficult to surpass at this season of the year. The tobacco plants were well under way, and here and there we saw farmers in the field cultivating the young plants and knocking the weeds that lifted their heads among the plants that mean so much to your Lancaster County farmers in a financial way. "Agriculturally speaking your coun-ty is a garden spot, and historically, it is one of the most interesting in this part of the State. "The roads were fine and were a source of much enjoyment except the Lititz-Lancaster Pike, through a picturesque country where the past harmonizes pleasantly with the pre-sent. "We little wondered while driving through your rich county over the holiday, that Lancaster County heads the 67 counties in the value of agri-cultural crops produced during the past year. Her total for the past season was over $18,000,000. Be-sides the richness of her fields, we were impressed with the general up-keep and neat appearance of the barns and homes located along our various routes of travel." Wins Guessing Contest Jim Herner, of North Cedar St., was the winner of the guessing con-test conducted last week at Pfautz Brothers Store in connection with the display of one of the largest suits of overalls in the world. His guess of 810 yards of thread used in making the suit was nearest to 823, the cor-rect number. He received a suit of overalls. Two booby prizes, pairs of gloves, were awarded to Chas. Good, of Lititz, and to P. W. Flory, of Brunnerville. W. C. T. U. Hears Readings Miss Ella Smeltzer led the devo-tions at the meeting of the W. C. T. U. on Monday evening.

K. Mathers, Mrs. M. C. Demmy and Mrs. Morris Kauffman were appointed a committee to ar-range a program for the annual meet-ing to be held on the lawn of the Coleman Memorial Church at Bricker-ville on Monday, July 29th. Auto-mobiles will be leaving from the Moravian Sunday School Chapel at 1.30 o'clock. Every officer and super-intendent is expected to read her "an-nual report at this meeting. Delphian Club On Picnic The Delphian Club had its annual picnic at Mt. Gretna, where the mem-bers were entertained by Mrs. W. II. Muth on Tuesday.

Miller; Second Vice President, Mrs. Florence Gibbel; Secretary, Mrs. Frank Dengate; Treasurer, Mrs. Norman Badorf. A vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Muth for the ex-cellent luncheon. Nearly Chokes On Teeth Abram Rhoads, residing near the old toll gate south of town, fell asleep while reading on Sunday evening and swallowed his upper set of artificial teeth. A physician was called at once, but his wife and father suc-ceeded in removing the teeth when he was on the verge of strangulation. Stiffel Feeman Safes Approved Safes manufactured by the Stiffel Freeman Safe Company, of Lititz, came through the annual tests con-ducted by the Underwriters Labora-tories, in Chicago, with the best rat-ings ever achieved by any products of the company last week. So tho-roughly did they pass the tests that they were given the A and B labels of the Underwriters, certifying to their ability to withstand fire. Representatives of the company re-turned this week from Chicago and brought back with them reports that put the Stiffel Freeman safes among the leaders of the world, if not the leader. In the tests, the safes were sub-jected to terrific heat, flames and gas for several hours, and afterward were opened. Papers placed inside were found to be undamaged. After that the safes were taken apart by the Underwriters engineers for an in-spection of the materials used in the making. Apple Picking Time Tillman Stauffer, Lititz Route 3, is preparing to pick a fine crop of yel-low .transparent apples on his farm this week. Early varieties of apple trees look good, but the late varieties seem to be only fair. Spraying to control the codling moth, leaf rollers, bud moths, blotch and apple scab should be done now, or as soon as weather permits. No spraying should be done on varieties that are soon fit to eat or that bear before the Smokehouse variety. Lead arsenate, in the ratio of three pounds to one hundred gallons, or lime-sulphur in about two gallons per 100 make the best sprays. Applica-tion should not be made when the humidity is high nor with a coarse, direct spray, says Farm Agent Bucher. Miss Gross Engaged Mr. and Mrs. Ralph A.
