Good cheer and good feeling was
the dominant note of the assemblage
last Thursday evening when nearly a
hundred of the business and profess
sional men of Lancaster sat downlto
the tables loaded with gooo things at
the Hotel linda, and proceeded to
make the aforesaid good things dis
appear. After the inner man was
fully and thoroughly satisfied and
everyone was in that, happy frame
of mind and body that always succeeds
a good meal, Joseph 7. Bennett the
toastmaster in a few we'll chosen re-
marks, announced the purpose of
the gathering Mr.. Bennett touched
upon the effective work and co-opera-
tive spirit prevailing in some of the
cities where he had had the pleasure of
attending meetings of the commercial
organizations. He then called upon
several present for suggestions and
remarks and each speaker voiced the
sentiment that frequent gatherings
would be beneficial in a social way
and that by having them problems
requiring concerted action could be
generally discussed and such action
taken as was deemed necessary. 1t
was unanimously voted that the meet
ings should continue and committee
was appointed to arrange for the de-
tails of the next one. A program
committee was also appointed and
they were instructed to see that an
enjoyable evening is arranged for.
The evening closed with the rousing
strains of America" and it was evil
dent that fellowship and determine
tion to have a good time would con-
tinue to be the keynote of future
meetings The meetings and the
dinners will be of an informal nature
and any one wishing to participate
in their social benefits and to assist
in promoting the welfare of Lancas-
ter, is cordially invited to come.
The idea being that the pleasant
relations and friendly feeling pre-
vailing among the business and pro-

New Cigarette Law Severe On
Sales to Minors.

The new cigarette law is very
rigid in regard to the sale of
cigarettes to minors and those fur
nishing them either for sale or as a
gift, are apt to be severely punished.
Any minor refusing to divulge the
identity of the person giving him
cigaret ties will be fined and any one
furnishing them will also be severely
dealt with. The law says:
ANY minor found being in posses
sion of any cigarettes, cigarette paper,
or cigarette wrappers, and being ask
ed by any sheriff, deputy sheriff,
police officer, village marshal, truant
officer, probation officer or teacher in
any school, to tell where or from
whom such cigarettes, cigarette
paper or cigarette wrappers were
obtained who shall refuse to furnish
such information shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof. shall be punished by a fine
of not more than five dollars" Any
person furnishing cigarettes to
minors is subject to a fine of not
more than 500 or less than $25
for first offense or by imprisonment.
The sale of cigarettes in Wisconsin
is now lawful, legalized by the
Dobie law, which went into effect
July 1. All dealers in cigarettes must
be supplied with city licenses which
cost So a year.

New County Schools.

Three country schools are now un-
dergoing the process of either being
overhauled or replaced entirely. In
Hickory Grove it. dist. 3, a COM
plete new frame building % by "a IS
being constructed and it will when
completed, afford facilities for Is
scholars. In Woodman No.. 4, they
are rebuilding a school house that
has stood against the elements for
many years. Some years ago the
old building aoated away on the high
waters during wet spell but was haul
cd back and put into service again.
The new structure will be placed high
and dry and will serve amply for
many years. Down in Harrison No.
2. they are moving 1.-THE school house
that stood on the hill, for it does
stand on hill so very steep, that
it is reported during the icy weather,
the scholars could slide from the front
door down the hill and across the
high. road, without taking sstep.
This was fun for the children but
hard on the teacher, so they are
moving the structure from the hill
eide to the valley below, putting it
on the road and incidentally re-
placing the floors, decorating, and
making it spick and span for next
winter.

Some Colt This.

Charles and Sherman Pittenger
residing in North Lancaster, are the
possessors of iron grey male
colt who bids fair to become remark
able animal. Last week we chronicl-
ed the arrival of Jake Richter's twin
calves who are so small that they
fit together in market basket, and
this is the story of colt that goes
the other way in size and decidedly
so. The colt was born on May 9th
and at the time of his birth the boys
noticing his remarkable size, weighed
him and he balanced the scale at
1877 pounds, eight hours after birth.
Last week he was weighed again;
and 10 and behold you, he cracked
the beam at $40. Sunday morning
the weight stood at 381 or a gain of
three pounds day since the previous
taking. At this rate of gain on July
IL, 1916, he will weigh 1476 pounds
and no one will be surprised at it.
The Breeders gazette we are told,
recently announced the birth of colt
which weighed 155 pounds at birth,
but the Pittenger colt has that re-
cord beat. The mother is a 100
pound, Grade Percheron mare and the
sire is the w. C. Bailie stallion,
Champ, who weighed 211O pounds
on his third birthday.

0iIing the Streets.

The new "Ile" for the streets is
expected every day now and just as
soon as it arrives it will be applied
on the outer street of the city where
the dirt surface prevails. The oil
will come in one of those big 10000
gallon tanks warranted not to leak or
to let out any of the smell. The oil
used on dirt is of lighter quality
than that required for macadam being
prepared more for laying the dust
than for binder. To sight, taste
and smell it will be just the same,
and only an expert like Geo. Nc
Carthy, can tell the difference.

The Local five went down to de-
feat at the hands of the fast En-.
pire Tire team of Trenton, here last
Thursday night at Malloy's Hall,
after an extra five minute period,
by the final score of 1925.
The Lambertville boys led the
Trenton five all during the first
half, and at the end the score stood
14-9.
In the second half the visitors
over came the lead, and when the
secondahaif ended, the score stood
tie, at 81 each,
During the extra five minute
period, the visitors took a fast sprint
and it was impossible to stop their
speed, as scored five field goals in
rapid succession, while the local
five only managed to score one field
goal and two foul goals.
The Locals.ive was away off in
their shooting, falling down on the
easy kind of shots.
Lippincott and Thorn were the
only ones who played any ways near
their usual form. Quinn and Muir
fit starred for the visitors.

yern ont Banker Under Charges.

A warrant charging violation Of the
federal statute relative to the max ng
of false entries with intent to deceive
was served Monday by United States
marshall on George G. AveriIl, who
resigned May 10 from the presidency
of the Vermont National bank Of
Brattleboro. The warrant was issued
following an Indictment returned by
the federal grand jury in Rutland.
There is no charge of misuse or
misappropriation of funds, and in a
statement issued from the office of Mr..
Averill's attorney Clarke c. Fits,
it is stated that any claimed errors or
misstatements in reports to the comp
troller are not matters which have
been at all concealed from government
officers and that Mr. Averill's methods
of handling the banks affairs have
been known to the government officials
in previous administrations. District
Attorney Bullard, of Burlington, states
that there was no claim that the
security Of the bank was in any way
impaired by anything Mr.. Averill did.
Mr.. Averill was placed under $4,000
ball.
