Mr. John Gaul Has
Good Neighbors
SEVENTY - SIX, MANY WITH
TEAMS, MONDAY MORNING
REMOVED REMAINS OF
HIS RECENT FIRE
Frequently, thruout this commun-
ity, people assist their neighbor
when in need which shows the propen
community spirit. Especially is this
true among our farmers.
When a rural resident is incapaci-
tated thru accident or sickness, it is
an ordinary occurrence for the neigh-
bors thruout his vicinity to turn out
and give him a “lift.”
Last week Mr. John Gaul, a far-
mer south of town, had the misfor-
tune of having his large barn com-
pletely destroyed by fire. He decid-
ed to rebuild it at once.
Monday morning, to his great sur-
prise, neighbors and friends, seventy-
six to be exact, with shovels, forks,
teams, etc. went to his premises and
before ten o’clock had all the re-
mains of the fire removed, even the
old stone walls and everything was
in readiness for the masons to be-
gin work on the foundations walls
of the new barn. The place resem-
bled a scene of great activity for
several hours that morning.
The following men assisted in the
work:
M. L. Gainor, John Hivner, Alvin
Staley, Daniel Miller, Ephraim Hersh
ey, Jacob Shelly, Michael Souders,
C. M. Herr, C. H. Herr, Enos Gibble,

AN Liew Substilite
TED INVENTION TO FRENCH
GOVERNMENT FOR A
THOROUGH TRIAL
Substitutes for gasoline are an-
nounced periodically, tried out and
discarded. Sometimes they are a
hoax; sometimes the cost of produc-
tion is so high that the substitute is
a commercial impossibility. To com-
pete with gasoline as a motor fuel
the “discovery” must be within cer-
tain price limits. Where this is an
unattainable ideal, the fuel is wuse-
less.
Lately a certain Alsatian engineer,
M. Imbert, has submitted to the
French government his invention
called “‘gasogene.” France is com-
pelled to import huge quantities of
gasoline, and any invention that
promises relief is welcomed. The
French Ministry of War has undertak
en to test out the discovery. At
Lyons they are running six huge
motors daily for hours of a time. Up
to date the experiments have proven
a great success. Military authorities
and mechanical experts have been
astonished at the performance of the
| favenrtion and admit that they are
face to face with a means of loco-
motion that will revolutionize the
whole industry.
Charcoal takes the place of gaso-
{line in Imber’s discovery. The ap-
| paratus which contains the charcoal
{is easy to build, moderate in cost, and
can be substituted for the gas tank
lon any make of car. By means of
| a pipe, air is sucked in from without
and brought into the combustion
i chamber. Here the gas is produced
! under high temperature, forming car-
{ bon dioxide.
The experiments are being carried
on exhaustively and thoroughly. Ii
| is possible that nothing may come of
iit. But if it proves its worth, the
| results will be of immense importance,
| not only to France, but to the whole
world. Hitherto the whole automo-
tive industry has been dependent on
| gasoline and oil production. There
| is always a threatening shortage,
{ either real or manufactured. When

THE WORST STORM OF
THE SEASON MONDAY NIGHT
One of the worst storms in this
section for many years was witnessed
Monday night. It was a strong north
wind and the most damage was done
to the poles of electric and telephone
companies, Many telephone lines
are out of order and it will require
some time to get them back to nor-
mal conditions.
About the most damage was to tele-
phone and telegraph lines along the
highway between here and Lancaster.
At Salunga poles were blown over
on houses. Nearly every pole on the
north side of the road between Sal-
unga and Landisville was blown a-
cross the highway. Several poles
also fell across the road in the east
end of Landisville.
From the former Daniel Grube ho-
tel to the top of the hill at Longs
Park, every pole om the north side
of the road was blown over.
This elosed traffic at all these
points, causing detours but the road
was opened again last evening.
