[it unconsltitu- tional several so-called ripper bills affecting the Philadelphia declared city=county government. The margin of the opinion was not doubtful as the vote was unanimous. Other legislation recently passed, will and should be tested. a 8a LOSS IN WHEAT CROP The farmers hercabouts are fortunate in having one of the best wheat crops in years, The growing weather was just right, the heads ave well filled and the yield good, BUT— there's nearly always a but. Just about harvest time we have had so many rains that few farmers were able to harvest the crop. Finally it became so dry that a good percentage was lost in handling. Some farmers cut their crop before it was thoroughly dry and as a result such wheat is sure to mold in the barn or bin, With the price soaring, many of the farmers are just out of luck. THAT FATALITY FRIDAY We deeply regret to report the sudden death of James Ber- rier Jr., one of the finest young men in any community. Al- though only seventeen, he was a model young man. “Jim,” a namesake of his father, was a junior in Elizabeth- town High school, a member of the church, had no use for tobacco or booze, was the right hand man on the farm, and when the work was finished would help his neighbors, hav- ing been engaged in the latter when the fatal mishap occur- red. The family and community will miss this model young man. His parents have our sympathy. ROTARY’S GOOD WORK We point with pride to the good work being accomplished this Summer by the Mount Joy Rotary Club. Fellows, you deserve a lot of credit, and particularly those who are quite active in the work. The Rotarians are daddying the playgrounds movement in the park for children during the Summer months. It is certainly a lot of satisfaction for parents to know that their kiddies are being taught how to play and are being properly amused instead of forcing them to provide their own amusement on streets, alleys, in creeks or elsewhere. never knowing how soon they may be injured. Our Council is also to be commended for its support in purchasing equipment with which to entertain these same kiddies. You can get an idea of the good work being accomplished if you go out to the park any afternoon where you will find Joe Moore and his family of kiddies numbering from 50 to 125. ARE YOU INDIFFERENT TO SLAUGHTER? Automobile accidents ean be reduced. Death on the high- ways can be stopped. Last year, traffic fatalities reached an all-time high of 38.- 500. Yet 18 states and the District of Columbia showed an average reduction of 7 per cent in deaths—even though gaso- line consumption, best barometer of traflic conditions, in- creased 10 per cent. These states weren't “just lucky.” Chance didn’t save the lives of their citizens. According to the National Safety Coun- cil, all but two of the states carry on aggressive programs of safety engineering, law enforcement, education, legislation, ete. The same authority reports that in half of the remain- ing 30 states next to nothing is done to prevent the Grim Reaper's grisly harvest. There are two prime causes of automobile accidents, One is the reckless, incompetent and dangerous driver. He can be curbed to some extent by up-to-date traffic laws that are honestly and rigidly enforced. The other cause is dangerous, “accident prone” locations— bad intersections, narrow highway without dividing areas, ete. Here the highway engineer must be called in to elimin- ate such needless hazards and thus make it virtually impos- sible to have an accident. “Make our town safe” should be a community motto. It’s high time, as the New York Times says, that we “shook off our comparative national indifference to this man-made evil cares .and began safety campaigns in earnest.” ® FEN sel THE DRIVE FOR SOCIALISM The political drive to extend socialism in the United Stales is never-ending. ‘One of the latest attenipts jis in California where a law has ‘been passed by the legislaturd which does away with the re- quirement of a two- thirds vote to carry bond issues for pub- THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO. PA, 20 Years Ago No wonder they're high more than 16,000,000 dozen of eggs worth $5,000,000 were in cold storage warehouses in Penna. Heaven be Praised! Local wheat has dropped within a month from $3.25 to 52.10. Nine toll ‘houses on the Phila- delphia and Lancaster turnpike were closed. A lady was peddling raspberries on the streets of Manheim, and had the nerve to quart. Of course she took them home again, Farmers are offering $2.00 per day and board for men to work in haymaking and harvest. There are more automobiles in Mastersonville, than any other lage of its size in Lancaster co. The Kokama fence in front of Grosh Brother store, in Milton Grove, has been repainted by our artist H. D. Wittel and makes a fine appearance. Samuel G. Hoffman, of Milton Grove, took an auto spin to Har- risburg in his “Tin Lizzie” with a speed and ease that would put a Hudson and Maxwell to shame. Coming “home from Mt. Joy a few nights ago, a young Milton Grovean imagined he saw a her- ron wading in Horst’'s dam. Upon closer examination he discovered it was an ebony-dyed wench tak- ing a bath. Jacob E. Williams, of Locust Grove cut 8 acres of wheat in four hours and 15 minutes with a new Osborne Binder. Abram = Garman, informs the Mastersonville correspondent that the young men who lost in racing with him last year failed to buy him the $2.00 hat they promised.

Lightning Rods Extravagant claims were {ormer- ly made for lightning and unscientific methods of installation have lessened their vogue, yet their use rests on sound principles. In Caldwell and Curtis's “Intro- duction to Science,” the principle of the lightning-rod is explained. rods, Lightning-rods are a valuable means of protection from lightn- ing, we are assured, especially in the country. In the city the soil- pipes from the drains serve the purpose of lightning-rods. We read further: To be effective, a lightning-rod must be buried deeply enough so that its end is always surrounded by moist earth, because moist earth is good conductor of el- ectricity, and dry earth is not. This statement means that elec- trons pass easily through moist earth, but have difficulty in pass- ing through dry earth. If lightning should strike a house or a barn having lightning- rods, the lightning would probably run off on the rods without harm- ing the building. Lightning rods are put on build- ings chiefly to protect them by preventing the lightning from jumping, and they serve to con- duct the lightning into the ground if it should strike. Thus, when a cloud charger with electricity ap- proaches a building equipped with lightning-rods, the rods become charged with the opposite kind of electricity from that of the clouds. The reason is that if the cloud is positively charged, it attracts extra electrons to the top of the rod; It is negative, it repels electrons from the top of the rod, into the ground. The molecules of air near the point of the lightning-rod then take on extra electrons from the rod, if the rod is negatives, or give up electrons to the rod if the rod da is positive. The molecules thus become charged. These charged molecules are then attracted io the cloud, which takes away from them the extra electrons they re- ceived from the lightning-rod, give them some of its extra elec- trons to replace those which they gave to the rod, as the case may nr be. ‘The result is that the cloud is quietly neutralized, or made neutral, so that the lightning flashes from it are smaller; or, if there are enough lighting-rods in the neighborhood, and other objects to help in neutralizing the charge, the lightning is prevented entirely. A Young Man Was Killed By Lightning (From page 1) ! The bolt followed a wire from the pole to the barn. The five were standing near one another, as Ber- rier and Forry fell. The bolt struck Berrier in the shoulder passed thru the neck and out the arm to Forry. Berrier died almost immediately. He was removed to his home by his father. . Forry was removed to the house and Dr. John A. Blasser, of Eliza- bethtown was summoned. His con- dition is slightly improved at this writing. Frank Miller, deputy coroner for the district, investigated. The youth was a member of the Junior class of the Elizabethtown High school and a member of the Elizabethtown Reformed church. He is survived by his parents, James and Katherine Peck Berrier and these brothers and sisters: Mark L., Rock Hill; Clark E., Columbia; Julia, a pupil nurse in the Lancas- ter General Hospital Traning School; Dorothy A., Mary E.,, Dale J. and George all at home. The funeral was held from his home Monday with further services in the reformed church at Eliza- bethtown.
