COLLEGE PROFESSOR CLAIMS
THIS AND ADJOINING COUN.
TIES WERE RESPONSIBLE
FOR REVOLUTION.
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.
For this reason Lancaster county be-
came a great granary for the Revolu-
tionary armies, and it was on the
bread made from the wheat grown
there that the®' Americans soldiers |
marched to ultimate victory. |
In commenting on this undoubted |
fact and its infiuence on our national
development. The New York Herald
is moved to say:
“To large areas of this grain-pro-
ducing country tidewater rivers were
inaccessible. Other methods of tran-
sporting the grain to market had to
be devised. Hence it was that

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.

Since the recent snow and the ad-

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

can coast from the cotton mill to a

OUR RURMY™ ~2RRIERS
SERVE PAJRONS
¢
If there is a town in Lancaster
county that has mote efficient and de-
termined rural mail carriers that Mt.
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
