MR. EPHRAIM F. BAKER OF THIS
PLACE 1S CELEBRATING HIS
79th BIRTHDAY TO-DAY

Just seventy-nine years ago to-
day, our veteran townsman and busi-
mess man, Mr. Ephraim F. Baker
fret saw the light of day on the
homestead farm in Rapho township
near Hossler's church. He was the
son of the late Frederick Baker and
wag born on the farm now occupied
by Md. Amos Shearer.
He was reared in that section
and in 1865 he was married to Miss
Lydia Hollinger of East Donegal
township. Three sons were born to
this union: Henry, of Lebanon;
Aaron, of Lancaster and Frederick
H., local coal and lumber dealer.
Mrs. Baker died in 1879 and in 1882
he was married to Miss Anna Fel-
ker, daughter of Samuel Felker, of
Rapho township.
After his first marriage he com-
mepced farming on the old home-
stead farm. In 1876 he moved on
Manheim street here and dealt in
produce for some time and in 1878
de took up the agency for the White
sewing machine, which he has been
selling ever since. :
In 1882 he moved on East Main
street, his present location, and
opened a confectionery and tobacco
store in connection with his sewing
machine agency. Several years ago
Re discontinued the store and rented
#t to the American Stores Company.
He is however, still actively en-
gaged in selling sewing machines
and unless, the weather is extremely
dad, he covers many miles daily
with his faithful steed.
Mr. Baker owns several of the
eldest houses in this town, one of
which is the former Myers property
on East Main street, which is a one-
story log house built before the
town was laid out, about as early as
1780.
Several years ago Mr. Baker pur-
chased a fine Buick Coupe and at
his advanced age, takes a great de-
light in driving it about the country.
He is a very capable chauffeur and
handles the machine as easily as he
drives his horse.
Mr. Baker has many friends who
join the Bulletin in extending him
many happy returns of the day.
Native Found Dead
at York Monday
AUTHORITIES ARE INVESTIGAT-
ING IF RICHARD HEILIG
COMMITTED SUICIDE OR
WAS MURDERED

This community was shocked Mon-
day to learn of the sudden and mys-
terious death of a former resident
of this place, Richard K. Heilig. The
story sent out from York follows:
Returning after a visit to friends
in Columbia, Mrs. Martha Klepper,
130 West Princess street, York, Mon-
day morning found a dead man in
her gas-filled apartment.
The dead man, Richard K. Heilig,
aged 77, was a friend of the woman.
Police are trying to ascertain wheth-
er he committed suicide, or whether
he was murdered and the body plac-
ed in such a position on the floor
with the gas tube in his mouth as to
divert investigation of the circum-
gtances surrounding the aged man’s
death. He was known to carry a
eum of money in a “little red book

ship supervisor and shifting entire
responsibility of road building and
maintenance to the State, was urged
by Walter Rj) Linn, of Montgomery
county, at the meeting of the Town-

ship Supervisors Association of
Pennsylvania, held in Harrisburg
last week. Mr. Linn appeared as a
speaker on the program to discuss
“Township Finances.”
The township board system is a
failure, he said, first because the re-
quirements have grown beyond the
material available for the job. The
elimination of waste and lost motion
through a centralization of this kind,
Mr. Linn said, would ultimately re.
sult in lowering road taxes or at
least give better highways and
would assure every township that it
was getting the kind of roads to
which its population and the nature
of its traffic called for.
Closer relations between the su-
pervisors and State Highway Depart-
ment were urged by the speaker.
This would give the smaller dis-
tricts the opportunity of soliciting
the assistance of the State and
county engineers on road building
projects. Every effort should be
made, Mr. Linn told the supervisors,

(By H. Frank Eshleman)
It is becoming tiresome to have
so many of the higher educational

ing about the inferior education
which rural children receive compar-
ed with that given to the city and
other urban children.
We have a recent repetition of
this lament in the address of Dr.

Good Advice to

NUMEROUS BUYERS THRUOUT
THE COUNTRY URGE MORE
CAREFUL HANDLING OF
CROP

A tobacco buyer who was talking
about the careless handling of tobac-
co’ recently said that in buying in a
certain section of this county when
the crop was very fine he paid a va-
riety of prices though the quality
of the leaf was almost uniform. This
created some dissatisfaction and he
was taken to task about it. “One
who made the most fuss,” said the
buyer wanted to see and I waited
for him to go with me to one of ‘the
growers to whom I had paid the top
price. The crop was almost all
stripped. I had the dissatisfied
grower look it over and he eould
not find a single leaf in the wrapper
that was not perfect and the whole
crop would need no sorting in the
warehouse. It was ready to go in-
to the cases. He was willing to ac-
knowledge that it was really worth
the difference in the prices.
There was no doubt, entirely too
many such cases in the county. One
of the oldest buyers in this county
says that growers generally do not
handle their crops as well as they
did years ago and in this they make
a great mistake, A great deal of
this, no doubt, is for the reason that
in years gone by so many buyers
never went out with the intention
of buying at a certain figure and
they bought it at kertain figures re-
gardless of quality or handling. This
was a mistake and spoiled the grow-
ers.

THE BOTTLE DIDN'T BURST
NEGRO REGAINED LIQUOR

Stout bottles for moonshine are
an asset, especially when a maraud-
ing force of dry agents invaded the
domain of the follower of John Bar-
leycorn. This was proved conclu-
sively on Saturday; when a raid was
made at the Billmyer quarries.
While a crowd of sad eyed men
looked on the authorities hurled the
bottles down over the rocks to the
depths of the pit many feet below.
As they mourned sadly over the
prospect of the “moonshine on the
mooshine” spilled on the rocks be-
low, a sharp eyed negro kept a
lookout for a bottle which might by
a miracle withstand the strain,
As they rattled and crashed to
the rocks below, he saw one, stouter
than the rest, bounded merrily from
ledge to ledge and wonder of won-
ders landed without scar or blemish
in a pool of water below. .
Waiting patiently until the des-
troyer had:passed on, the wily negro
climbed : carefully over the rocks
and rescued the precious quart. As
he climbed back to terra firma he
muttered sadly, yet with a ray of
hope ‘breaking through gloom, “This
was a dear quart—it cost me near-
ly $50.”
