We are here at last in Germany, the war over and we and the vic- torious armies patrolling the once great Germany. It is an interesting | country, in fact a wonderful country without a doubt and if left alone to its inhabitants under a rule of free- | dom such as we enjoy, it would be- come a most wonderful and peace loving nation.

See Schroil Now |A SAMPLE OF WHAT SPRING SALES WILL BE High prices were bid for the live- istock and farming implements on |the Conewago township farm of the late D. G. Lehman, which was sold at public sale on the farm Thursday afternoon. The proceeds aggregated between $6,000 and $7,000 almost $2,000 above the a spprajsed value. Heavy rain fell all during the sale, which lasted almost five hours, and some of the mud roads leading to the farm were almost impassable, yet the crowd of attendants was so large that all could not be sheltered in the farm buildings. The livestock brought premium prices but some of the second hand farming implements were run up to even better bids. A double-disc a row that Lehman bought two years ago for $15 sold for $70 and a bind- er sold for $167, or $56 more than Lehman paid for it at a public sale more than a year ago. Forty-five ead of cattle were sold, including seventeen steers. One cow brought $112. Horses sold as high as $225. The sale was conducted by Jacob S. Farver, chief clerk to the County Commissioners, who is administrator of the Lehman estate. Lehman and one daughter died seven children were down with in- fluenza. The family will move to Bachmanville. At Mom TOBACCO BUYERS BUSY IN SEVERAL TOWNSHIPS Tobacco buyers have been busy in Manheim and East Hempfield town- ships within the past few days. Three or four have presented themselves in the field, but only a few crops have | been lifted. On Wednesday repre- sentatives of Bayuk Brothers bought 114 acres from David Buckwalter, { Manheim township, for 17 and 6. | Most of the farmers in the two town- ships are holding out for 25 cents through. | In other parts of the county con- | ditions are very similar. Growers are {holding off expectantly waiting for {action on the part of the Lancaster | County Tobacco Growers’ Association { whose special meeting is to be held {on February 10. At this time the fate of the Growers’ Packing Com- pany is to be decided. As April 1 approaches, however, | some of the farmers are seeing diffi- | culties and it is believed that if im- medate action not. taken at this meeting, the 1 ers will be able to buy me ps at their own price.

Baker, the Horse Dealer, Hit Broadside by a Cadillac Eight Samuel S. Baker, the Millersville horse dealer, and Titus Wike, of Sun Hill, were injured in an automobile smashup which occurred about 4 o’- clock last Wednesday afternoon on the Harrisburg turnpike. Mr. Baker had had his car in storage at East Petersburg and was taking it to his home when the accident occurred, With him was Mr. Wike and Isaac Loraw of Penryn. Mr. Baker was driving and just as the car emerged upon the turnpike from the road leading from the turn- pike to Rohrerstown, a big Cadillac car occupied by two men hit his ma- chine broadside. Both cars were up- set, Mr. Baker being pinned down by his own car. The strangers, whose names are unknown, helped release Mr. Baker, where he and Mr. Wike received medical attention, both hav- ing been cut about the head, face and hands by glass from the broken wind shield. Mr. Baker is the worse hurt of the two, and may have been slightly injured internally by the car which was partly lying upon him. Mr. Loraw escaped injury and both occu- pants of the other car were equally fortunate. Both machines were bad- ly wrecked. The accident occurred at the inter- section of the Lancaster & Mount Joy turnpike and the Rohrerstown road. At this same place Mr. H. C. Brunner the undertaker of this place, while coming up the pike several weeks ago in his auto hearse, was struck and his hearse was upset and damaged. Mr. Brunner was also injured.

SPEAKMAN OF THIS PLACE Last Thursday the gunners of the county assembled at William Wit- mer’s at Silver Springs, for his big annual live bird shoot which was a success. The weather was ideal, there was a good field of the county's representative shots and a lot of real fast birds gave everybody a run. In the first event, Mr. Frank Rieker, of Lancaster, went straight after losing his first two birds and won while that veteran C. E. Humer, of Marietta, went straight in the second event, The scores follow. First Event—10 Birds F. Rieker 222 Jno. E. Schroll.. 200 & E.

Henry D. Speakman of this place, rector of the church “As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs XXIII, 7. Not more than once in a life time does the death of a public man call forth such high tribute from pulpit and forum with awakening echo in the heart of the nation, irrespective of party, class, nativity, creed or race, as the passing of our Country’s greatest citizen, Theodore Roosevelt, has done. We loved the man while alive because of his high ideals and magnificent achievements, his honesty of purpose, his courage to fight to a victorious issue all obstacles and hidden forces of evil which might arise as enemies to national pros- perity and the world’s humanity. We revere his memory as a man of personal purity of character, our positive knowledge of his practical and magnificent patriotism and his prophetic vision as to the future life of our own country and of the na- tions of the world. His words fell at times on heedless ears and often unwilling ears, but those words were not like forest verdure falling to die upon unresponsive earth, bul as in- spired and epochmaking axioms which will go rolling down the future cen- turies, making deep impress in the formation of constructive legislation and the private life of families and individuals. We revere his memory for the sacrifices he did make and the more he was willing and anxious to make in the hour of his country’s need, offering himself upon the o 22-8 11-17 02-7 01-17 2 2.17 2.6 2—6 1 01 3 02 01 00 00 00 ¢ Be NN=OoNTD © [= —- | - Second .
