it at once as it is the property of
Charles Robert Longenecker, and his
name is stamped in plain letters in the
inside.
A cement coping is being built along

Lititz Man Has Stradivarius Violin
of 1713
C. C. Grimm, of this place, has
a violin bearing the name of Stradi-varius
and dated 1713. It was
brought from Ireland by Mr.
Grimm's grandfather, who receiv-ed
the in strument from his grand-father.
The violin is in excellent
condition and produces a wonderful
volume of sound. The owner re-fused
$200 for it several years ago.
It is known as the Cremona pattern,
a style which has been generally
followed since this Italian maker
settled on this model. Old instru-ments
of this class bring from
$1000 to $3000, dpending on their
$1000 to $3000, depending on thfeir
condition.
GOING TO NEW CASTLE
Local King's Daughters to be Repre-sented
at State Convention

Beckler will start for New Castle, Pa.,
to attend a meeting of the Executive
State Board of King's Daughters.
She will be followed on Tuesday by

and Thursday.
The Good Cheer Circle of Lexington

Mrs. G. G. Bitzer Patient at Hospital
The .many friends of Mrs. Graybill
Bitzer will be sorry to hear that she
was hurried to the Lanaster General
Hospital last Saturday, where it was
necessary for her to undergo a very
serious operation. At last accounts
she was slightly improved.
—Have your awning made new
now, before those hot days arrive, at
Pfautz Bros, store.
Mrs. Bomberger in South America
In a letter recently received from
Mrs. Naomi S. Bomberger, from
Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic,
she writes very interestingly of many
things, but one is of special interest
to us, the newspaper work.
"La Preusa," the largest newspaper,
is well worth seing. The building it-self
is very fine; their employers -are
so well looked after. There is a the-atrer
or ballroom, gymnasium, public
library, music room, doctor, and the
paper retains a lawyer for the poorer
people, as swell as many other things
for the advantag of the people.
The Shank Family Getting Along Well
in Washington '
The many friends of Mr. David M.
Shank's family will be pleased to hear
of them. They are now living in
Washington, D. C. The family moved
there last February, although both
Miss Rhea and Miss Rhona have been
there for three years, holding govern-ment
positions. These young ladies
are both groduates of the Lititz High
School.
Mr. Shank is employed by the Wash-ington
Cadillac Motor Co.
.They are living at 605 9th N. E.,
and would be glad at any time to have
their old Lititz friends call on them if
they are in the city. Dave would like
to take some of the "old boys" along
with him to the ball park.
are Coins Displayed
in Wertsch 's Window
Lloyd M. Royer has a display
of coins in. Wertsch's show window.
The young man has a very fine and
rare collection, which if bought at the
present time would cost considerable
money. He has 500 coins, represent-ing-
fifty countries. There are coins
of every mint that is or has been in
operation in the United States. The
Philadelphia mint has been in opera-tion
since 1793; unlike other mints
the coins turned out there bear no ini-tials.
The mint at Dahlonga, Ga., ran
from 3838 to 1867, and the coins are
marked with a D. The one at Char-lotte,
N. C., was in operation from
1838 to 1861. The coins are marked
with a C. The mint in San Francisco
tinguishing mark is an S. The mint
tinguishing mark is an S. The min j
at Carson City, Nev., ran from 1870
to 1893, and the coins bear the mark
C, C. The Denver mint was started in
I860. The mark is a D.
The study of old coins is in interest-ing
and instructive pastime. There
is also a course of profit in it, as the
coins increase in value year by year.
They teach history and geography.
The U. S. coins bring out facts seldom
mentioned in history. Who recalls
the Jackson hard luck penny? In the
display can be seen the complete set
of fractional currency of the U. S. is-sued
in' 1863. It comprises 3, 5, 15
and 25 cent notes. They were com-monly
called "shin plasters."
Coin collecting develops a tasts for
art and stimulates research work.
Often the only authentic dates of
countries, connecting the name of the
ruler, and records of events are
brought to light by the finding of
coins.
The Roman Imperial coins, of which
one of 40 B. C., and another of 79 A.
D. can be seen in the window, were
struck for the most part to commem-orate
remarkable events. The his-tory
of the Roman government can be
compiled from the coins.
Another rare coin on display is a
Confederate half dollar, struck in the
New Orleans mint after its seizure by
the Confederates in 1861. An inter-esting
coin is the United States trade
dollar, authorized in 1873 for the pur-pose
of stimulating commerce with
the Orient. They were shipped to the
Orient and other countries to pay for
the products exported from there to
h U. ¡J. They were later redeemed.
They were larger than the silver dollar
and were avoided like bad money.
Now they are very rare and sell at a
premium.
Mr. Royer has a set of California
and Alaska coins, in $1, $2.50, $5 and
$10 denominations. Another coin
which he prizes is a silver dollar of the
vintage of 1799, made in the Philadel-phia
mint.
I f you have old coins Mr. Royer will
gladly give you all the information he
can about them.

Edna Weaver. There are others from
this locality and among the others the
writer of this little note remembers
with gratitude two who were most
kind and faithful while she was a pa-tient
in the hospital, a little more than
a year ago. If at any time they wish
a recommendation the writer of this
article will be glad to say a good word
for Miss Ruth Hershey of Elizabeth-town
and Miss Elizabeth Hostetter of
Lancaster R. F. D. No. 5. They were
most faithful.
Miss Weaver was not one of my
nurses but congratulations are in
order for her.
The class which will graduate from
the Nurses' Training School is the
largest in the history of the hospital.
They are Miss Catherine Weaver, of
Lancaster; Miss Mary Ryder, Willow

TROLLEY CURRENT
FOLLOWED PIPE LINE
Trolley Current Followed Pipes and
Caused Deterioration
Beause of electrólisis, caused by the
trolley line charging the oil pipe line
where it passes over i t on South Broad
street, the street was torn up. , The
iron piping was coverd with parolite,
a non-conductor, and no further trou-ble
is expected. The current made a
circuit, following the pipe to the P. &
R railroad, then continuing along the
rails to Broad street, where it con-nected
with the trolley line again.
There was a great deal of current
wasted, and it was hard on the pipes,
eating holes into them. Some months
ago the pipes had to be replaced near
the creek. The trouble has caused
the oil company considerable expense.
Edison Has the Right Idea
Thomas K. Edison doesn't believe
in the eight-hour day, and judging
by his accomplishments, has a right
to his idea. What he said is well
worth thinking about.
"Today I am wondering what would
have happened to me by now if fifty
years ago some fluent speaker had
converted me to the theory of an
eight-hour day, and convinced me that
it was not fair to my fellow workers
to put forth my best efforts in my
work. I am glad that the eight-hour
day had not been invented when I was
a young man. If my life had been
made up of eight-hour days I don't
believe I could have accomplished a
great deal. The country would not
amount to so much as it does if the
young men of fifty years ago had been
afraid they might earn more than
they were paid. There were shirkers
in those days, to be sure, but they
didn't boast of it. The shirker tried
to conceal or excuse his shiftlessness
and lack of ambition."
Joint Picnic at Rothsville
The joint picnic of the Rothsville
Lutheran, Evangelical and United
Evangelical Sunday Schools will be
held at Myer's Grove at Rothsville,
on Saturday, August 20, from 1 to 10
P. M. Malta Band.
—New white summer Dresses and
Middies at Pfautz Bros.
Don't Spoil Private Property
Lititz may well be proud of a num-ber
of attractive "spots." One of
these is the fine grove of young ever-greens
on the slope south of the Mora-vian
church. It is a great pity that
the children of the town are not
taught to be proud of these places and
care, for them. They have been break-ing
the branches from these beautiful
young trees. Must we have notices
put up "Keep Off" or a police officer
on hand to keep them off ? No! Let
us all work together to make Lititz
more beautiful! Probably the boys
and girls did not realize the injury
for the advantage of the people.

They carry each little one in their
mouth after the manner o fa cat

Local Millers Contribute
to Carload of Flour
For Near East
Work Directed by J. B. Flory, Former
Rothsville Man

interest was made at the office of

grain and feed dealers of Lancaster
county combined had forwarded a car-load
of flour for the orphan children
under the care of the Near East Re-lief.

county took the lead in the mat-ter
under the direction of Mr. J. B.
Flory, Pequea, its president. The
flour was brought to Lancaaster,
loaded and shippen on May 4 and ad-vises
from New York indicate that the
flour will have been loaded" on board
vessels and under way by the end of
this week. 235 barrels of flour, suf-ficient
to give bread ration of one

of Mrs. Monroe E. Reedy, and
Frank Kulp, Jr., both of Philadelphia,
were married at noon last Saturday,
April 30th, by Rev. Fisher in the Cal-vary

where her parents were raised and
where she often visited her grandpar-ents,
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Fisher on
East Main street.
The young couple took a trip to New
York city. For the present they will
reside with her mother, Mrs. Monroe
Reedy.'
Cape May Man Married to White Oak
Woman "
Thomas J. Barton of Cape May, and
Irene Hollinger of White Oak, were
married about two weeks ago. Mr.
Barton was a-n employee of the Rec-ord
office a year ago. We extend our
congratulations.
WHO SAID IRON MEN?
We used to have a lot of respect for
the dollar. It was made of silver,
and bore the imprint of the United
States government, and carried the
portrait of the artist's beautiful model,
and said, "In God we trust"—imply-ing,
of course, that there was no one
else that could be trusted for a dollar.
The coin was up to date, too, since
its design included a bunch of spears
and a mint mark, just like the chew-ing
gum ads.
When people began slanging the
dollars aiound and calling them
"beans," simoleums," "bones" and
"iron men," it didn't sound just right.
We used to have a lot of respect for
the bright shiny disks that came from
the Philadelphia mint. They were
never called "washers" and "bucks"
by us. We used to like to hear them
jingle, even in somebody else's pocket.
I t gave us hope. But now, what's the
use.
The trouble about the dollar is that
it is round, and once they get out of
our grasp and start rolling its an
elusive game getting it back again.
I t ought to have a hole in them, like
the Chinese penny, so thfyt it could be
tied fast to a person, like a , watch
charm. The dollar has some good
features, but it could be improved
upon. %
Every dollar we get in our grasp
must be shared out. It's like cutting
up a pie at a funeral; there's nothing
left but the crumbs. Harrisburg
wants a double portion now to help
fill up the checks of some $10,000 men,
Just watch and see how many dol-lars
you can hold on to out of every
one that passes through your hands.
By the time you've accumulated a few
you're ready to write your will.

Lititz Girl Won Hager
Prize in Historical Contest
Miss Jean Russel, sixteen years
old and a member of the Lititz
High School, won the first prize
essay in a historical contest for
scholars outside of Lancaster city,
conducted by the firm of Hager
Bros., Lancaster. . Miss Russell
was much surprised upon hearing
the news that she had won. She is
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Russell, of East Main street. Fol-lowing
is the essay:
Lancaster, the county seat of the
Garden Spot of the world, was the
Mecca, in the past generation, for dis-tinguished
visitors who came in the
limelight either in the political, finan-cial
or merchantile world. We have
swung' the gates ajar and have pre-
'sented the keys to the city of many
noted pilgrims.
Lives of men like James Buchanan,
the only native son that Pennsylvania
sent to the White House, do not pass
into oblivion when the spirit takes the
eternal flight. "The good men do is
not always interred with their bones,"
but rises as a living monument to an
oncoming generation, and points to a
higher and nobler way of living.
Thaddeus Stevens, the father of the
present free school system, stands as
the emancipator of youth and thou-sands
unborn will profit by his un-selfish
motives, who fought for the
betterment of men and has laid the
foundation for the American girl and
boy, a career that will never depre7
ciate in value if we are true to our
benefactor.
Men of this type and ability have
been in our midst in the past decade
and Theodore Roosevelt, born a leader
of men, a Christian, statesman, poli-tician,
author and a father that ruled
his family well, sojourned in our city
long enough to make the average
citizen realize that you do not get out
of life more than you put into it.
Men of this calibre cannot fail but
leave a lasting impression when they
have been in our midst and give us an
inspiration for a better town and a
citizenship above par.
Hon. James Beck, an eminent
statesman and scholar, and a lawyer
of national prominence does not frown
on Lancaster county. His ancestors
rest in the Moravian cemetery at
Lititz.
We cannot laud the praises of men
who we know by reputation and ignore
the sons of our own county who have
gone out to carve their names in the
Hall of Fame.
In the medical. and surgical world
the names of Dr. D. Hayes Agnew
and Dr. John Deaver are immortal.
At the close of the nineteenth cen-tury
J. Hay Brown, a native son of
Lancaaster county, went fortji to

court. Eminent men pass like ships
in the night. In the passing of his ,
colleague, W. W. Hensel we lose a
