Frank Steese of Steelton was elected president, E. R. Ebersole, Elizabethtawn, Secretary and W. W. Libfreid of Hershey, assistant secre- tary. The board of directors is composed of the following, Ben Groff of Mt. Joy, W. Decker, of Marietta, J. Fry of Manheim; J. F. Snavely Hershey; E. M. Boyd, Steelton; Preston Ney, Elizabethtown. The schedule had been arranged for presentation before the league but the presence of a representa- tive from Rutland prevent it from being adopted until it was decided whether Rutland would be admitted or not. ~ The admission of Rutland depends on whether it is possible to secure another team before the next meet- ing. Every effort is being made to secure another team and thus make the league composed of eight teams instead of six. The following referees were chosen for the coming season: J. Smith of Rutland, B. Gaffney of Steelton, E. Killinger of Harrisburg, M. Jones, of Lancaster, R. Nealy of F. & M. The following is the schedule for the week beginning December 12: December 12, Steelton, at Mt. Joy.

This pandstamping not only “delays the small sized letters but other mail matter. A special appeal is made to women who seem to use the small missives more than any one.

THE DEER SEASON OPENS IN PENNA. TOMORROW For the benefit of the sportsmen of Pennsylvania who hunt large game especially deer, the season for which runs from December 1st to December 15th, inclusive, Sundays excepted, the following information is given: Bucks only with antlers at least 4 inches long. The last Legislature changed the requirements for deer so that hereafter before a deer may be legally killed the hunter must be sure he is shooting at a buck deer with horns or antlers at least 4 in- ches long from the top of the skull and so long as a deer has one antler 4 or more inches long, it is consider- ed legal. However, in view of the fact that the spike bucks of this year are badly needed for future breeding purposes, sportsmen are requested to refrain from killing small bucks even though they do have spikes 4 or more inches long. The future supply of deer depends entirely upon the care that is taken of the present stock. Last year 198 illegal does and 66 baby bucks (that had not yet grown antlers) were. killed in violation of the law. There may have been more but that number was reported. —etl EE THANKS OFFERING AT THE KINDERHOOK CHURCH Thank offering Day was observed Sunday in Kinderhook U.

Signature of the bill on which Con- gressional action was completed last Friday automatically closed the gap in the nation’s prohibition laws, re- vealed last March by Attorney Gen- eral Palmer in an opinion that there was nothing in the Volstead act to precludes the prescription of beer as medicine. The bill signed Wednesday in addi- tion to outlawing medical beer, pro- vides that not more than 14 gallon of vinous liquor, or vinous or spirituous liquors separately, or in the aggregate containing more than one- half pint of alcohol, may be presecrib- ed in ten days; that physicians shall be limited to one hundred prescrip- tions for such liquor in ninety days unless extraordinary reason is pre- sented; that importation of spirit- ious or vinous liquors is prohibited until the amount on hand shall not be sufficient to supply the current need for non-beverage uses; that pri- vate residents may not be searched without a search warrant and that the courts of Hawaii and the Virgin Islands are given jurigdiction to en- force the national prohibition act. Passage of the anti-beer hill “marks a new step forward in the enforcement of prohibition” Com- missioner Haynes said to-night in a formal statement. The act, he said, strengthens the hands of the prohibition forces in dealing with the alleged medical pre- parations sold on the open market and used for beverage purposes and also limits the activities of the “few physicians” who were issuing pres- criptions for liquor to people not ac- tually requiring it.

FARM BUREAU MET ON SATURDAY WILL MEET EVERY SATURDAY MORNING, ARE OF GREAT INTEREST TO ALL FARMERS The Lancaster County Farm Bur- eau’s Saturday Morning Round Table conferences were resumed for the winter season last Saturday Morning. They will now take place every Saturday morning between the hours of nine and twelve o’clock. The coming Saturday Round Table will be devoted to the subject of ‘“Potato-Growing and Co-operative Seed Buying,” and is expected to bring a record crowd of farmers to the Bureau rooms, since never has there been such an intense interest in good seed and modern cultural methods. Mr. W. W. Gibbel, of Brunnerville, president of the Lancaster County Potato Growers’ Co-operative Associ- | ation, will be present and explain the methods of the association in the se-| curing and distribution of high-grade seed potatoes. It is also expected to have the Round Table several grow- ers who will relate their personal ex- perience with spraying, ete., so that the meeting may be of a high educa- tional value. The Co-operative Association now has three cars of seed potatoes run- ning, one of Maine Cobblers and two of Michigan Russets, and it is highly important that growers wishing to take advantage of the new association should learn the details first-hand and put in their orders at once. With this in view, next Saturday morning's Round Table feature has been ar ranged. Demonstrations in Winter Concreting In co-operation with the Farm Bureau, the Portland Cement Co. 1s sending its experts into the county this week and next week for demon- stration purposes related to winter laying of concrete. Demonstrations in the county are being arranged be- ginning with December 5, and farm- ers who have jobs in prospect that can be done in a half day are invited to communicate with the Farm Bureau. The durability of concrete laid in winter time is ‘what the cement ex- perts come to prove, and, with the farmer providing the materials, he will lay, for instance, a floor, build steps, make troughs, or any other minor jobs. Utility Corn Class at State Show The Lancaster County Farm Bur- eau during the past year made a strong representation to the manage- ment of the State Farm Products Show that a Utility Corn Class should be added to its list—that it would induce a greater exhibit, and one of far greater than the ordinary show tvpe of corn. This request has been added. Lancaster county, there fore, as the’ great corn-producing county of the state, has a chance to cavry off first honors, if it will ein- race the opportunity, especially with Lancaster County Sure Crop ‘The Farm Bureau, therefore, urges a early selection of best ears and asks that they be brought to tie Farm Bureau office before January 1, for that date they mus: be sent to tTarrisburg to put tarough germina- tion tests, etc., before the Show, which, takes place January 23-27. 2wirds will not be made en “showi but rather ste'et utility an ness,’ on valve ment ere Entertained. on Thanksgiving Miss Fannie Shank entertained the following to a Thanksgiving dinner: Mr. and Mrs. C.

On Wednesday night, John E. Foltz, the 19-year-old son of J. Ezra Foltz, who conducts a creamery at Deodate, was on his way home from Elizabethtown. About half way be- tween the two places three men jumped out in front of his automohile and ordered Foltz to stop. Foltz kept his car moving how- ever, and reached for a revolver, which he turned on the bandits when they jumped on the running- board of the car. Foltz fired twice and one of the highwaymen, he says, fell from the machine. The other men, Foltz says, jumped from the speeding auto and sent several shots in his direction. One of the bullets went through the fender of Foltz's machine, while the others went wild. Aree NEW RIVER BRIDGE AT COLUMBIA TALKED OF A new bridge across the Susque- hanna river at Locust street, Colum- bia, is the latest project started by the Chamber of Commerce and auto mobile clubs. The secretary was in structed to communicate with the Chambers of Commerce and automo- bile club at Lancaster and York and request co-operation in starting the project. The claim is made that the present bridge across the river there being a railroad bridge is the cause of some traffic being diverted from Columbia and that as Locust street is part of the Lincoln Highway through the town, a bridge leading directly from that street to the York county side of the river would be a great advan- tage to travelers and motor traffic. em stl re ees WILL HOLD INSTITUTE AT THE E'TOWN SCHOOL Questions at once vital and in- structive will be discussed by capa- ble speakers at the annual teachers’ institute to be held in the Elizabeth- town High school, next Saturday.
