ARY VICTORY An editorial in a recent issue of the Philadelphia Record, is of such local interest, giving good old Lan- caster county greater credit than any of its inhabitants had ever dreamed it deserved, for the great Revolutionary victory, that we re- | produce it in full. | “It is always a pleasure to say good things of Berks, York, Cumberland Franklin and Lancaster counties and their splendid farms and for that reason we would give prominence to the statements of Professor Archer Butler Herbert, of Coloraio College, that but for them the American Re- volution would never lave been won. It was not the jemr-&om the farms! that turned the trick, but the food grown there, and the professors quotes Washington himself as saying that but for the wheat raised on the interior belt of limestone formation reaching from Pennsylvania across Maryland and into the uplands of western Virginia the American armies could not have been fed-and our fight for national independence would have failed. New England has never distin- guished itself as a food producer, and the interior of New York State, which is now a fine farming region, was| then largely still in the hands of the Indians. The South was not a large wheat grower 150 years ago, and so recourse for food supplies was nat- urally had to the fertile soil of Pen-! nsylvania, all the more so ‘because the richest agricultural districts here lay outside of the zone of conflict.

Mount Joy, Penna., Wednesday, January 18, 1922 A WILD STEER ES- HUNTED LIKE A DEER AND FINALLY SHOT BY MR. JAMES BERRIER. To see a number of men with rifles scouring the fields, valleys and woods out around Risser’s church, north of Milton (Grove, looking for a wild “buck”, surely is unusual but sugh was the case last Tuesday. Further- more, the buck was shot. About a week previous Butcher Gruber, of Campbellstown, received ‘unloaded from the cars at Colebrook. {While the cattle were being trans- (ferred, from the car to the yards Ithere, one of the steers, a real wild one from the “wild and wooly” made a mad dash for liberty and was soon 'out of sight. For nearly a week this steer roam- led about in the clearings between {Colebrook and Risser’s meeting {house, sometimes being seen on the {farms in that vicinity. Butcher Gru- {ber finally sent word to people in that section to capture the animal “dead or alive.” The steer was very wild and when {approached by any one, it would {start on a mad dash, sometimes runn- 'ing a mile before stopping. Last Tuesday morning Mr. Henry |Strickler, south of town, was called ito the farm of Mr. Isaac Eshleman, jnorth of Risser’s church, to repair a chopping mill. While working there they sighted the wild steer in one of Mr. Eshleman’s fields and arming themselves with a high-powered rifle, immediately started in pursuit of the “buck.” At the time they also phoned to several of the neighbors in that vi- cinity, among them Mr. James Ber rier, a member of the Camp Ream Hunting Club, who made quite’ a rep- utation for himself two yedrs ago when he shot a fine large buck, bring- ing ‘him down with a “punkin ball” in a shot gun. This was Jim's sec- ond deer he has shot. Mx. Henyy Strickler, who had quite a lot of experience shooling Germans in France, got within gun shot of the steer and immediately his machine gun was put into operation. The do was to inflict a wound in its front leg. The steer next came within gun shot of Far- mer Jim Berrier and in less time than it takes to tell it, the “punkin balls” were flying thick and fast in the di- rection of the steer. One took effect in its body just back of the front leg and after making a few wild leaps into the air, the steer fell. In short order James was upon his “game” and to make sure that it wouldn’t get up and run away (as did Grandma Ream’s deer two years ago) he put a bullet thru its head Butcher Gruber was phoned to and he immediately removed the animal on a large truck. Thus ended the first real buck shooting incident in the vicinity of Milton Grove. nm SG BOTH OLD AND YOUNG GREATLY ENJOY COASTING Since the recent snow and the ad- vantages offered when Snyder’s Hill, on the state highway east of town was put in such excellent shape, the coasters are daily taking advantage of the opportunity. All day long and every night, many-are on the hill ranging from the youngest kiddies to grown-ups and even some married folks are enjoying the passtime. They can coast from the cotton mill to a point beyond the concrete bridge across the Chickies creek . On Sun- day there were at least fifty there a greater part of the afternoon. — tt ii Appointed Deputy Coroner} Dr. E. R. Miller of Ephrata, Coroner of Lancaster County, appointed Dr. W. M.

Joy, “we're from Missouri.” We had one of the worst snow storms last Tuesday night and Wed- nesday that we have had in years. It made many of the roads in this vicinity impassable. The rural car- riers at many places, did not even attempt to go over their routes, while others tried but soon returned. Mr. Abram B. Hoffer, carrier on Route 2 from this place, went over his route as usual but Wednesday and Thursday he was unable to serve all his patrons, but Friday he called on all of them as usual. He started with his auto on Wednesday but was obliged to return and get a sleigh. Mr. Charles Morton, carnier on Route 8, toward Milton Grove, ser- ved his patrons regularly but had to return with his auto and get a sleigh in order to get thru on Wednesday. One day he ‘did not get over his route until five o’clock but he was determined to make his deliveries and he did. At several places the snow was drifted higher than the mail boxes and he walked on top of the snow and had to dig down into it to find the mail box. Mr. Grover C. Winters, carrier on Route No. 1, was just das determined as the other two. He started over his route last Wednesday morning, got a short distance until he was stuck in the snow and in an effort to get thru “ripped out” his gears and was obliged to abandon his ear which he did. He returned, procured a sleigh and went over his route. He had intended having his car brought to a garage but it could not be done as the car was almost covered with snow, and is still in the same place. In spite of all these difficulties, our carriers are serving their patrons daily and deserve great credit in overcoming obstaleles such as impas- sable roads, wheh they simply open fields. fences and take {to the —_ f COLLECTOR J.
