the tree there with an account of its
historical connection were made by
Miss Lillian Slaymaker Evans and
Miss Arabella W. Redsecker, both of

The tree is the one under which,
144 years ago, members of Donegal
church, then more than fifty years
old, when they heard that Lord Howe
was coming into Pennsylvania, gath-
ered for a meeting. Taking their
pastor, Rev. C. M. Farquar they gath-

land, his native country, and declare
his loyalty to the cofonists. A tablet
commemorating this event was
erected by the Dbnegal Society two
years ago.

planted in ge church yard two years
ago by the society in memory of

Clara, the two-and-ahalf-months
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
{ Siechrist, of near Silver Springs,
{ was instantly killed Sunday when an
automobile in which they were riding
crashed tree on the road
between East Petersburg and Landis-
ville.
The child was with her parents Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Siechrist and her
two-and-ahalf-year old sister Louel-
lyn and uncle Norman Siechrist. The
Siechrist machine was proceeding at
a moderate rate of speed when an
Overland car, driven by Clarence
i Kulp 18, of Rothsville, attempted to
against a
pass. In negotiating the passage
Kulp’s machine sideswiped the Sie-
christ machine turning it into the
gutter. Before it could be halted
it crashed into a huge tree. Kulp
escaped uninjured while Mrs. “Sie-
christ and her daughter Louellyn re-
ceived slight bruises. Both machines
were badly damaged.
AN $8,000 FIRE
IN EAST DONEGAL
THE FINE BARN OF MR. JACOB
STRICKLER, NEAR MAY.
TOWN, COMPLETELY
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Fire of an undetermined origin
destroyed the . barn, tobacco shed,
garage, farmigg implements and
contents on the farm of Jacob Strick-
ler, at 4 ol¢lock Friday afternoon.
The .loss ig estimated at $8,000 part-
ly covered by insurance.
The Strickler family were on a va-
cation, and the fire was discovered
by Victor Hawthorne, who was at
work in the tobacco fleld. When Mr.
Hawthorne looked toward the barn
it was a mass of flames. He hurried
to the building and with the assist-
ance of some neighbors succeeded in
saving the live stock in the build-
ing. A bucket brigade was formed,
but it could do nothing.
The Maytown firemen were soon
on the scene. A call was sent for
help to Marietta, Mount -Joy and
Elizabethtown. These companies
responded, but they could do nothing
as by the time they reached here the
building was practically in ruins.
The Mount Joy firemen prevented
the flames from communicating with
the house and other nearby build-
ings.
Mr. and Mrs. Strickler, Mr. and
Mrs. John Hinkle and sons Paul and
Levan and daughter Pearl and Miss
Alice Miller, left last Friday for

Residents of Z.aneaster city and

Interesting facts are found in the
comparison. The figures are esti
mated on the amounts of tax paid
into the revenue office here last year
on those commodities from which the
tax has been removed. Among other
things the comparison shows that
Lancaster’s ‘sweet tooth” cost
$1,000,000 in war tax alone last
year. Next year Lancaster can spend
just that much more for candy if
that amount is necessary to satisfy
the hunger for sweets.
The war tax paid on wearing ap-
parel is small and that amount will
hardly be noticed. The amount
turned in last year was $15,999.35.
Little was paid in war tax on wear-
ing apparel, it is officially said, be-
cause little of the clothing sold here
last year was priced high enough to
be within scope of the tax regulation.
The removal of the tax on
cream will enable the public here to
spend about $122,994.84
ce
additional
on ice cream and soft drinks next
summer when the weather is hot.
More jewelry can also be hought
with the $16,240.99 which the pub-
lic will save in taxes on that luxury.
On amusements which inclue club
fees, the public paid last year $81,-
869.98, which will either be saved or
may be expended in other sources
next year.
