There grand old man" in Hum
melstown who is celebrating his
ninety-third birthday to-day in the
midst of many old friends, who are
giving him hearty greetings and good
wishes. He is Benjamin A. Price,
whose wonderful memory Of times
and people of the past makes him a
joy to all who know him.
Born in Lower Stafford township,
Montgomery county, November IL,
1925, Benjamin Anderson Price went
to Lancaster county in 1S4S to teach
school. After that he kept store for
time and then settled as manager
of an iron business in Columbia. He
came to Dauphin county in 1881 and
has lived in Harrisburg, Union De-
post and Hummelstown since then,
retiring from active work several
years ago.
Mr.. Price is one of a family of
thirteen children. three of whom are
living besides himself, all over rs
years; his mother and several other
children lived TO be over 90.
During the Civil War Mr.. Price
was a member of the Home Guard of
Lancaster county, but was not called
for active service. He went to Get
tysburg directly after the battle,
with provisions for the soldiers; and,
with his wife, helped many of the
refugees in their home. Mrs Price
died few years ago, and one daugh-
ter Miss Elizabeth q. Price. teach
er of the Hummelstown schools, re-
mains, with whom he makes his
home.
Active Republican
Among his many "reminiscences
are those of his first vote for Zach
airy Taylor for president of the Unit
ed States and William F. Johnston
as governor of Pennsylvania. Never
since then has he missed voting the
national or state ticket, always loyal
to the Whig and afterward to the
Republican party. Last week his
appearance at the polls was marked
with much interest. Mr.. Price is in
excellent health and is vitally inter-
ested in the events of the day. His
only affliction is a partial blindness,
which makes it impossible for him
to read, but many friends are will
ing to do that for him, and he never
forgets what he has once heard.

ton, in behalf OF the 18th Trench
Mortar Battery fund
This battery is scheduled for an
early departure overseas. and IL
badly in need OF funds. Because OF
trench mortar battery's peculiar
position in army circles, the only
means OF raising a fund is thru
these channels.
In army parlance, a trench NOR
tar battery is called a suicide

constantly in action at range Of
no less than $50 yards from the
enemy. At times, this range dimin-
ishcs to 25 yards.

battery at times covers n front so
miles long. It's duties are 10 destroy

guns. the enemy's dugouts and com

suade, by constant action, the enemy
from building more.
The life OF n member OF the trench

run proposition. 1t takes men OF
sterling qualities 20 qualify for the

1t is for the benefit OF these men
that this big show has been ar
ranged. One OF the interesting num-
bers on the bill is a talk by Private
Robert Il. Kane, of the 18th Trench
Mortar battery, as to the duties and
life OF the men constituting the
