To be Successful You Must be Awake : If You're a Real Live One, You'll Advertise in The “Bulletin” LOOKING FOR A 600D LOCATION ANY ONE INTERESTED IN THIS ENTERPRISE CAN COMMUNI- CATE WITH PARTIES INTERESTED On Saturday we were handed the following communication which was received by Dr. J. J. Newpher, secre-, tary of our local Board of Trade. The letter speaks for itself. I am looking for a location to erect a small factory, or take over one not in use that can be enlarged if it became necessary. Would pre- fer a locality that would stand a Real Estate development and ad- ditional homes in connection with manufacturing expansion. The num- ber of persons employed at first would be small, but would increase rapidly. Does your community need such an enterprise I have capital to partly finance the proposition and would expect to interest local capital for the balance. Would not be in- terested if this could not be done. Or, will invest capital in a going manufacturing plant that needs expansion, managerial and sales ability, and would later add a new product. If your answer looks favorable, the writer will make a visit to your town and look over the situation. In answering, please state full particu- lars, by addressing . Post Office Box 365, Lancaster, Pa. We would suggest that any person interested ig -a project: of this kind should get # communigation with the above party. As far as the Board of Trade is concerned we don’t think any action will be taken as so many similar inquiries did not look good to them. This proposition may however, in- terest individuals. Stolen Auto Found The automobile of C. N. Neff, of Elizabethtown, which was taken from in front of the First Presbyterian Church on Sun evening while the owner was A services, was found yesterday morning about 5:30 o’clock on the road between the Har- risburg and Marietta turnpikes. The police were notified and Officer H. P. Bushong brought the machine to the pelice station. COMPLETE FIRST TROLLEY SURVEY STARTS FROM THE SQUARE IN MANHEIM AND RUNS TWEN- TY MILES TO VIAN—CON- NECTS THERE WITH THE ELIZABETH- TOWN LINE The preliminary survey of the pro- posed trolley line between Manheim and Hershey, to connect with the Elizabethtown line of the Hershey transit system, was completed this week. The preliminary survey starts from a historic point, Manheim’s wide and oblong square, at the ends of which Baron Steigel, the founder of the town, built his mansion and his busi- ness office with brick imported from England and brought from Philadel- phia in teams, more than a century and a-half ago. The line then runs first in a southwesterly and then in a northwesterly direction, passing the pumping station of the Manheim Water Company, thence by Old Line, Union Square, Mastersonville, Lawn, Upper Lawn, Bachmanville and terminating at or near Vian on the Elizabethtown line of the Her- shey Transit Company. It traverses a beautiful, undulating country, with attractive settlements and excellent farms. It will serve a total popula- tion of near 10,000, and, when finally determined, the distance will be somewhat under twenty miles from Manheim to Hershey. Earlier in the year committees waited on M. S. Hershey and asked his co-operation in the enterprise. They pointed out that Manheim, a thriving town of over 3,000 popula- tion, with important industries, and the towns and the rich farm country to the west of it had no satisfactory means of transportation to Hershey and Harrisburg and other western points. In order to go to Harsirburg the people of Manheim must travel south to Lancaster or north to Leb- anon, which means loss of time, in addition to the expense. Moreover, they desired to be directly connected with the growth going on in and around Hershey. eR Ere Ran Needle Thorugh Finger Miss Abbie Blottenberger, of Marietta, employed at the Standard Garment Company, Marietta, met with a very painful accident Friday afternoon when she ran a needle through the second finger of the BRETHREN’S CONFERENCE Nineteen Congregations Represented in Annual Gathering Nineteen congregations of the State were represented at the open- ing of the thirty-third annual con- ference of the Mennonite Church of the Brethren in Christ of Pennsyl- vania, in the church on Eleventh street, below Ontario, at Philadel- phia.

Bryant Mussel- man, of Fleetwood; Rev. H. A. Kauffman, of Shamokin, and Rev. W. J. Fretz, of Reading. The morning session was taken up with the ap- pointment of committees and hear- ing reports of pastors on their year’s work. The conference in the afternoon adopted the report of a committee that recommended the giving of licenses to preach to R. W. Diekert, of Quakertown; J. B. Layne, of Lebanon, and M. H. Wolf, of Harris- burg. The new ministers preached at a public meeting at night. The conference will continue until Mon- day, and on Sunday there will be afternoon and evening public meet- ings. Appointments of pastors will be made tomorrow. Rt gh AUTO TRUCK IN A WRECK Struck a Telephone Pole and Was Badly Damaged Thursday A large Mack truck owned by the Commercial Auto Company, of Har- risburg, figured in quite an accident at the culvert west of Florin last Thursday. The big truck was empty and was on its way toward Florin. The chaffeur was going along at a pretty lively clip. When he made the turn at the culvert the rear end of the truck skidded, which turned the front toward the side of the road and quick as a flash collided with a telephone pole. The chaffeur was thrown out and sustained an injured hand. The two front springs of the truck were | broken, as well as the radius rod, fender, as well as the steering gear. A roadster that was passing at the time, narrowly escaped being hit by the big truck when it skidded. ———— Sunday School Workers Meet The Sunday School workers of the fifth district of Lancaster county, comprising East Donegal, Maytown, Marietta and surrounding country, held two sessions on Saturday in the old Donegal Presbyterian church, near Marietta, which were largely at- tended, the afternoon session being the largest in attendance. Rev. Wil- liam H. Lowe, of the Maytown Re- formed church, was chairman and presided over the sessions. F. Stibgen, of Marietta the president of the district, made a few remarks in the afternoon, as did other clergy- men. The programme, as published last week, was carried out in full. e——rD @ EP — A Miraculous Escape Isaiah Kuntzelman, postmaster of Bainbridge, had a miraculous escape from death when the automobile which he was attempting to turn around in the road, plunged over a nine-foot precipice, turning turtle four times.

Forney, of Abilene, Kan- sas, who had moved there thirty- seven years ago, migrating from Elizabethtown, is in Lancaster now and is tracing the Lancaster county Forneys who took up their homestead on the Cocalico creek, Earl and War- wick townships, in 1733. Mr. Forney will soon get his chronology into book form. He discovered that in his time he met and conversed with seven generations of his rela- tions, the first one born on Septem- ber 15, 1778 and the last one born March 28, 1914, who is Chester Y. Ruhl, of Landisville, and he is the tenth generation from his earliest ancestor in America. Mr. Forney is a picture of health and should he live to the age of some of his ancestors he might see another generation born down the line. st AG ssn Something for the Fair Two as large tobacco leaves as we have seen for some time were brought to this office by Mr: Charles Berrier, one of Mt.

One leaf was 19 inches wide and 37 inches long while the other was 22 inches wide and 36 inches long. Wonder who can beat that? mm A Gin Will Wed Next Tuesday.

Arntz, ing teller in the Cones- lank, Lancaster, and People’s Bank ¢ KIDDIES FAIR DAY IS FRIDAY DR. DIXON LIFTS BARRIER AGAINST CHILDREN AT THE COUNTY FAIR—CHIL- DREN ADMITTED FREE ’ Hurrah! The edict has gone forth that the pupils of the public schools can have and will haev their day a the County Fair. This announcement has been made by Secretary Jacob F. Seldomridge, of the Lancaster County Fair Association, on the authority of Dr. Dixon, the State Health Commissioner, and as a con- sequence the heart of about every youngster in the county will be filled to overflowing. The children, after being denied many of the amuse- ments so dear to the heart of child- hood during the long summer sea- son and the protracted school vaca- tion, can break their fast at the county fair and a more fitting place or occasion could not be imagined. It had been the custom in previous years to have Children’s Day at the fair on Tuesday, but the State quar- antine this year made this an im- possibility, although the officers of the Lancaster Fair Associdtion did everything in their power to have Dr. Dixon modify his quarantine or- der in order that the youngsters might attend the fair. The quaran- tine order was to have ceased on Fri- day, September 29, the day the lo- cal fair closed, and as matters stood it looked very much as if the chil- dren would be denied. As a final endeavor to establish a day for the kiddies Secretary Seldomridge went to Harrisburg on Thursday and had a conference with the State Health authorities. The latter did not mean to work a hardship upon the youngsters so they officially notified Mr. Seldomridge that he could hold his Children’s Day on Friday, Sep- tember 29, and there would be no interference. Friday, September 29—that be the day at the fair for the sche children and all of them are invited to come and stay all day. Thou-"* sands of free admission tickets have been printed by the fair associatiop and these will be distribute youngsters at all the ga into the fair gro and the officials hg the tickets pri have to do v selves to the they will be sug ah sary admission Let eve youngster turn out and get a free ticket and see the fair all day. Fri- day will be the day and the hours will be any time at all. Parents or any older person can take the youngsters and tickets for the latter will be free. The fair association # glad for the opportunity to man the youngsters happy. : AG Boni Deeds Recorded voit W. A. Withers and wife, J. W. Hoffer and wife, M. B. Keller and wife, George E.
