PLAINS WIDE APPLICATIONS
OF LEVIES NOW BEING MADE
BY THE DEPARTMENT
Mr. R. M. Carter, mercantile ap-
praiser of Lancaster county, last
week mailed bills to those who owe
this particular tax. There are a num-
ber, however, who owe mercantile
tax of which he has no knowledge
and inasmuch as there is a penalty of
$1,000 for a refusal to make a return
all business people should be on the
safe side and make a report.
With mercantile appraisers now in
the field, many persons engaged in
small businesses are unaware of
their obligations under the mercan-
tile tax law. Some of these have been
summarized by Linn L. Reist, com-
missioner of the bureau of county

Vargity and intra mural athletics
are important features at Mount Joy

the school.
The aims of physical education are
two fold, says Mr. Stauffer, who
points out that the first is the com-
pulsory gym and health classes for
all students and second the voluntary
intramural and varsity competition.
Two periods of gym and one of the
health instructions are held every
week for all students. Mr. Stauffer
says the gym classes combine cor-
rective and interesting exercises and
games while the intramural and var- |

CAT ON TRANSFORMER
JUMPS TO THE GROUND
Some time during the storm on Sun-
day a cat climbed the heavy pole in |
front of Mr. H. S. Newcomer's resi-
dence, corner Main and Market streets |
and perched on the large transformer.
It was there Sunday and all of Sun-
day night.
Monday Mr. S. H. Miller, local su-
perintendent for the P. P. & L., de-
cided to rescue the feline and des-
patched an employe to climb the pole
and get the cat. When he neared kit-
ty, it climbed out on the cross arm and
accidentally came in contact with the
high tension wires, first with one front
paw and then the other, each time
shaking the paw and presumably
thing, “gosh, that’s hot.”
Just as the lineman was about to re-
scue the cat it jumped to the ground
and scampered away none the worse
from its extreme exposure, near elec-
trocution or a 30-foot leap to the
ground.
Purchased Gas Station

In This Locality
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF AS-
PIRANTS FOR THE OFFICE OF
BURGESS HERE TO SUCCEED
THE LATE DR. W. D. CHANDLER
Seemingly there 1s no end to polit
ical controversy here and in the im-
mediate vicinity, which, of course. is
customary in every locality.
Who Will It Be?
From the rumors afloat there are a
number of aspirants to succeed the
late Dr. W. D. Chandler as Burgess in
Mount Joy. Thus far we have heard
these names mentioned: Dr, E. W.
Garber, East Main street druggist
and ex-councilman; Harry Nissley.
retired, Kast Main street; Mr. John
Keener, ex-Justico of the Peace, and
several others,
It was intimated that President of
Council Murphy would make the ap-
pointment at Monday night's meeting
of Council but the matter wasn't even
mentioned.
It is possible that a special meeting
may be called soon for the purpose of
filling the vacancy and today it ap-
pears that our next Burgess will be
one of the above men.
