The ice business is not what it's
cracked up to be, says Lincoln Gable,
and had the "Record" man observed a
little closer he would have noted that
t h e Lancaster dealer mentioned last

There isn't much f u n in it, says Lin-coln,
unless it's the appetite you work
up throwing the cubes of congealed

you make depends on how much you
hustle and how well you serve your
patrons. However, I believe that
when you have a good article tell the
public through advertising. That
pays. Lincoln has the right idea and
took the kidding about the ice man
with good grace. The ice Mr. Gable
handles is made out of E p h r a t a spring

Big 45-Revolver Calculated to Ruin
Bandit
"Shoot to kill" is the order which,
with the thousands of pistols, has
gone out to the postal employees
throughout the country. Postmaster
General Hays says, "We simply have
to go back to the old Wells-Forgo days
and put an end to mail robberies by
t h e drastic measures then in vogue.
But while the postal employees, by
t h e new order, are insructed to take
no chances in protecting their lives
and the mail, capturing bandits will
be more profitable. An additional or-der
of the Postmaster General pro-vides
a reward of $6000 to any post-office
employee, civil officer or civil-ian
who delivers a mail robber into
custody.
A big 45-calibre revolver, weighing
t h r e e pounds, with holster and ammu-nition
packs, has arrived at the local
post office. Post office employees are
instructed to practice quick and effi-cient
handling of the weapon. It is
not expected they will beconre two-gun
men but in time and with practice
the local force should be able to shoot
accurate enough to ruin a highway-man
if he chanced to t r y his game
here. Practice will be s t a r t e d short-ly
and intense r i v a l r y in markmanship
will no doubt result,
Free Transportation from Lititz for

were placed in the parole of
Attorney H a r r y D. Kutz, of Nazareth,

Barn Destroyed by Lightning a t White
Oak
A barn ownd by William Fass, near
White Oak, was struck by lightning
Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock and
burned to the ground. No live stock
was kept there but a big quantity of
hay, s t r aw and some f a r m i n g imple-ments
were destroyed. A tobacco
shed close by was saved by a bucket
brigade. The barn was partially in-sured.
The storm which passed over Lan-caster
county Saturday and was bad
a t some places, was mild around White
Oak.
PICKINGS
Some enterprising individual
has erected a frame structure
along the Brownstown-Oregon
s t a t e ' road opposite Hostetter's
mill and at the breast of the
Oregon dam, where refresh-ments
and cigars are dispensed
mostly to autoists going to and
fro, but we venture to say he will
not get rich in his undertaking.
On the island of Oahu, which
is one of the Hawaiian Islands,
you will find shops along the
public highways a few miles
a p a r t in the country where soft
drinks, cigars, f r u i t s and can-dies
a r e offered f o r sale to pass-ers
by. The soft drinks are call-ed
"belly .wash," and for such
you ask a f t e r having designated
t h e flavor of your choice. The
little f r a m e shops generally are
conducted by either Japanese or
Chinamen, who often have the
living qu&rters in t h e same little
shack.
Even pigs get auto rides—at

"Where does the water come

Can anyone explain why
t h e r e were practically no locust
blossoms this spring? Never
before have we known of the
locust t r e e f a i l i n g to bring f o r th

permate the land all over this
section.
When the locust a r e in bloom
many housewives commence to
put away certain garments in
use during the winter. Moth

in t h e 312 Machine Gun Batallion,

LITITZ
WONDERFUL CLOCK
CUT OUT AND FITTED
TOGETHER 50.000
PIECES OF WOOD
A g r a n d f a t h e r ' s clock, containing
fifty thousand pieces of wood, has
been completed by Rudolph Carpen-t
e r , of North Cedar street. It is in-laid
work, some of the pieces no larg-er
t h a n a pinhead. He has been doin;
t h i s work for a number of years, but
the clock is his masterpiece. Mr. Car-penteer
is a mason by trade, but when

ft iiltl

t h e work is unseasonable, can be
found at work in his little shop. He
worked on t h e clock for five years
and after counting fifty thousand
s e p a r a t e pieces of wood, lost t r a ck of
what followed and a recount was al-most
impossible Each piece fits ac-curately,
needing no filling in. Some
20 different colors and shades of wood
a r e used, f r om snow white holly to
ebony. There are different hues of
walnut, cherry, maples, mahogany,
rose wood, local woods and woods
f r om nearly every part of the world.
There are lines as fine as a pencil
tracing,.
There are wonderful designs, all of
which Mr. Carpenter originated, and
t h e more the clock is seen, the more
the designs seem to increase.
One panel shows a living room, with
windows, curtains, a table w i t h parlor
light, floor coverings, picture on the
wall, a rug on the floor and a dog
lying on it. Two women a r e pictured,
one with auburn hair and the other
one with ebony hair. All this is
brought about by the use of different
colords and shades of wood.
The innards or works of the clock
were all made by Mr. Carpenter and
to a clock maker would be considered
t h e most wonderful thing of all
Everything is of wood. The wooden
cog wheels are accurate, each cog-being
inserted separately to give
g r e a t e r strength, the only metal part
being the pinion and the p a r t in which
i t runs. Mr. Carpenter, who has
studied old models of locks, is confi-dent
his clock will stand the wear for
a t least a hundred years. It strikes
t h e quarters, striking double. The
v a r i a t i o n in time can be adjusted, so
t h a t the clock when properly set,
should be very accurate. The hands
and dial is all the work of Mr.
Carpenter. His main tool is a scrool
saw and a small circular saw, all of
which he made himself. From the
many years of handling' stones and
bricks, like all masons, his fingers are
thick, so t h a t it is almost impossible
to straighten them out. The delicae
touch necessary for this accurate
work, is hard to understand.
Mr. Carpenter is a quiet man, and
unless you know him intimately^ it is
hard to get him to converse about how
he does this work. This genius seems
to be a family t r a i t . A brother Abe
deleights in wood work, such as mak-ing
violins. Another brother of Pine
Hill, has made a remarkable bookcase,
with secret drawers that defies the
most adept in locating them.
Trains Will be an
Earlier
Hour
Beginning next Sunday
the t r a i n s will be r u n an hour
ahead of schedule on the local
P. & R. branch although the
railroad time will remain the
same. This change is made
on account of the daylight
saving schedule in some of
t h e big cities. It means that
if you want to go away by
t r a i n next Sunday you will
have to be there an hour
earlier than usual. Some
persons are going to forget
and will go home disappoint-ed,
with the remark, "I for-got
all about it."
Instead of the t r a i n arriv-ing
here from Reading at
8.28 Sunday morning it will
be due a t 7.28.
V- : y
. The change in schedule of t h e t r a i ns
on the Phila. & Reading Railway will
change the arrival and departure of
all mails except those f r om Lancaster
by trolley.
Th local post office will change its
hours to meet these conditions. Start-ing,
n e x t Monday morning, June 20th,
t h e post office will open at 6 o'clock
and close at 7 p. m. Standard time
will be observed but all scheduled
mails will be one hour earlier than
usual. The schedule of closing of
out-going mails and arrival of in-com-ing
mails is posted in the post office
and will be found in these columns.
The public is cautioned to keep this
change in mind if they have any im-p

SOLICITORS WERE FRAUDS
Representing themselves as former
soldiers and claiming to be connected
with the Lancaster Post, solicitors were
in town last week, doing army business
under false misrepresentation. In the
future Lititz residents should disregard
all such strangers. Investigation made
by Dr. C. E. Lane shows that they were
frauds, as the following letter explains:
THE STARS AND STRIPES
Washington, *D. C.
June 8th, 1921.
Dear Mr. Lane:
Replying to your letter of May 28th,
we must advise you that the agent who
is convincing the public that any per-centage
of the subscription price to
THE STARS AND STRIPES is given
for the upkeep of hospitals, is misrep-resenting
the proposition and is not
authorized to make this statement that
any part of the money paid for sub-scriptions
is given to any hospitals,
charitable instiution or cause.
THE STARS AND STRIPES is a bus-iness
institution and does not claim to
aid financially any cause, however
worthy it may be. Hospitals for disabled
ex-soldiers are supported by the Gov-ernment
and contributions from a pri-vate
concern would not be accepted. If
you will advise us the name of the
agent or agents who made thase state-ments
we will take action against them
or him immediately with a view to put-ting
an end to such misrepresentations.
Thanking you for your letter and
trusting that you will give this matter
your prompt attention, we beg to re-iin,
Very sincerely yours,
THE STAR AND STRIPES,
Elias W. Kidwilr,
Asst. Circulation Manager.

Helpern Alleges Fraud in Sale of
Lititz Garage
Charging that f r a u d and misrepre-sentation
were practiced on him in the
purchase of a g a r a g e and auto repair
business in Lititz, Max D. Herpern,
of South Amboy, N. J,»p h a s filed a bill
in equity in the Lancaster Coinmon
Pleas Court against H a r r y R. Siegler,
of Lancaster, and Lester E. Hite, of
Lititz.
The plaintiff seeks to have the con-t
r a c t annulled and $2,000 he paid on
account returned to him. He claims
t h a t Siegler and Hite r e p r e s e n t e d to
him t h a t their business was consider-able
more flourishing than the ac-counts
he a f t e r w a r d s discovered show-ed,
and t h a t he did not realize nearly

said his investment, $20,500, was,
therefore, a losing proposition, in that
