It is becoming quite a task on the
part of local politicians to get the

If a man says yes, it's a cinch he
will be elected as such a thing as
opposition is unheard of this year.

petitions filed in the County Com-
missioners’ office at Lancaster. The
Democrats in both wards here have

The suspicions and watchfulness
of an Elizabethtown police officer
on Monday night resulted.in the
arrest of Joseph Raff, aged 35, of
Columbia, and the confiscation of
14 half barrels of alleged four per
cent beer.
His capture followed closely up-
on the heels of the arrest of Chas.

Both men were committed to
the Dauphin county prison tempor-

charges of transporting intoxicating
liquors before United States Com-
missioner Maltzberger, Reading.
Shortly after 9 o’clock Monday
night, Officer Harry Musselman no-
ticed a large truck stop in front of
the Black Horse Hotel in Elizabeth-
town. The motor vehicle was well
adorned with labels advertising soft
drinks.
Musselman considered it a sus-

CHICKEN THIEVES BUSY
IN WEST DONEGAL
Master-
ssley, of
Within the past two weeks the
Donegal
have certainly had their share of
trouble with chicken thieves. The
matter has been reported to the
State Police and that will diminish
the number of thefts.
Mr. Walter Kraybill, who resides
near the former Friday balcksmith
shop, two miles north of Maytown,
had 300 young chickens stolen the
other night.
A large number of chickens were
stolen from Mr. Charles Ricedorf, a
farmer who resides about - a mile
west of Rheems.
One night last week thieves en-
tered the poultry house of Mr.
Ephraim Ebersole, also a farmer of
that section, and stole fifty of his
finest hens.
New Road Opened
Drivers of automobiles were re-
warded on Monday night, when
the new road constructed by the
state highway department, below
Marietta and at Chickies, was open
ed for traffic. The oil has not ar-
rived for the road, but on account
of the excellent condition of the
same it was deemed advisable to
use. By this construction, two
bad crossings over the Pennsylvan-
ia Railroad are averted, and a
steep hill is also excluded from
driving between Columbia and Col-
umbia and Marietta. The road
passes through a picturesque spot
and the scenery is beautiful. The
two covered bridges over the chick
ies creek are the next in order
that should be attended too.

Longer Pastorates
ADVANCE STEPS TAKEN BY THE
U. B. CHURCH PROVE VERY
SUCCESSFUL SAYS
REV. ROMIG
One of the advance
by the United Brethren church dur-
ing the last quarter of a century is
the longer pastorates. In the early
history of the denomination the CUS
tom of sending pastors to the same
charge for a term of only three
vears prevailed. The change to
longer pastorates has resulted in the
building up of stronger churches
and enabling the pastors to secure
better financial reports from their
respective fields of labor.
Especially is this advance move-
ment noticeable within the bounds
of East Pennsylvania Conference,
which includes all the United Breth-
ren churches in this territory. At
the head of this list stands'the name
of Rev. J. A. Lyter, D.D., of Ann-
ville, who last his
twenty-fifth year pastor of the
g Derry Street Church.
The records show that Dr. Lyter has
