The campaign will close October J.. » To Tiring new members into the or-ganization is the main purpose of this campaign. The two sides will score points according to the number of members and renewals of member-ship secured.

C..A, building will show which side has been victorious for that day. Plans for this campaign were dis-cussed for the first time at a meeting of the Social , Educational and Mem-bership committees held in the Y. W. C. A. building. Miss Ella Kegerreis was elected chairman and Mrs. Magee Secretary. The report of the condition of the Hershey Trust Company at the close of business August 27, 1914, shows that it is handsomely maintaining its growth and stability, Its re-sources amount to $1,810,178,74 , and of the total ^003,605,95 is in bonds, stocks, short term railroad securities, etc. It is a remarkable showing:, The demand for loans in this part of the country is not as great as in soma others and while the company (rives the accommodations needed it is en-abled to keep an unusually large part of its funds in gilt-edged investments, Its surplus fund equals its capital stock and in addition are undivided profits of «83,373,82.

Labor Day's Big Crowd Big Crops in Hersheytown Gentlemen Gardeners Raise Record- Breaking Vegetables Hershey scores again ! But this time it is- in the vegetable line and not her famous chocolate. During the- past season many reports have come to this , office pertaining to the fine crops of corn and many other vegetables raised by nearby farmers, but none can compare with the speci-mens taken from the little gardens right here in town. . P. S. Wilson residing, on Caracas avenue has raised a most remarkable crop of tomatoes of the beef steak variety in a garden in his back yard, which he, takes care of during his spare moments. Six tomatoes taken from his vines last week weighed 9 pounds and 9 ounces, the largest of these tipping the scales at 1 pound and 13 ounces. ' .- ' .-•" Adam Wistler, a neighbor of Mr. Wilson, raised ' a head of cabbage which he could scarcely get in a large lard can and which weighed 10 pounds and a half. , George Marks, residing at the east end of town, is also a factor in raising large vegetables, " havingL~*aised a radish that weighed a little over eight pounds. ;, • ¦ • William Bririker, who is quite a gardener, has a number of freak po-tatoes which many of his neighbors have called to see. Industrial School Term Boys Show Greater Enthusiasm in Their Studies Than in Any Other Year The Industrial School work opened in regular session on Tuesday of this week. The boys have gone to -their books with a keener desire to conquer their mysteries than at 'the begining of any previous term. This was in part due to the improved condition of the school rooms. All the desks were freshly shellaced and varnished and the rooms painted so that every-thing looks new and clean arid the environments are right to bring out the best possible results. The grading has been somewhat changed because of the whooping-cough in the kindergarten department, but this -will be provided for by con-tinuing the term for this department after the regular school term. The work on the new department (to be known as Grade One) is corning along nicely and after it is finished it will be the best equiped department in the school. There will be exceptional provis-ions for ventilation and the heating and lighting systems are to be espe-cially constructed for the place. These boys will have their own little work shop where the first rudiments of me-chanics will be instilled into them. There is a small building close to this department which will be equip-ped with "Klipit" and "Stripwork" outfits and mechanical builders, so these boy's hands will be trained and their faculties developed gradually and naturally, aiding thorn to find their proper work without much out-side assistance. By nature a boy six to ten years of age is very much wrapped up in himself. Ho is not inclined to be faithful to any group but as ho grows a little older , say about twelve, he hears the "mass" or "gang" call and passes fro m tho selfish period of his earlier life to an altruistic period when he joins a gang of other boys and thinks his gang equal to any oc-casion. This is tho time whon indi-viduality must bo developed and to moot this it is the plan at this school to have individual rooms and lockers for nil boys past twelve yours of ago, so a boy may not become only ono of n group or "institutionalized " butnsolf-dellnnt , nolf-rospoeting, self-support-ing young man with his Idoals and aims cryHtallizod ho ho may have an unbounded enthusiasm for tho things ho holds dear and wants to do.

Occasion Will Attract Prominent Educators. General Satisfaction " With the Building-. The Classes in Music - and Drawing The Attendance l ' The formal dedication of the M. S, Hershey Consolidated Schools of Derry Township will take place next month. The date depends upon th^ engagements of prominent educators whose presence is desired and who wish to attend the formal- ceremonies of what is considered the finest school of its kind in the State. Principal Keboch 'has the7 program in charge. It will include able addresses and at-tractive music. " ' .' ¦' " , The ¦ complete school census .of Derry Township taken by Principal Keboch shows 700 children between the ages of 6 and 16 and of these 21 per cerrt are-Italians. In the -Hershey Schools are about 600, including. the High . School. On Friday last was the first meet-ing of the teachers. Plans were dis-cussed and lines were laid for the year's work. Mr. Keboch presided. The forward work being done in the Hershey Schools is already showing good results. There is special inter-est in the new classes in music under Miss Blanch P. Wingert and drawing under Miss Mabel R. Brown. In the teaching of German the conversation-al method is used and it is most ef-fective. Latin is taught by phono-grams. The language work is under Miss Marie H. Johnson. Mr. Keboch retains . mathematics in addition to his work of administering the schools of the township, but he has turned over agriculture to Professor Everett. The children' are now studying early plant life, thq functions of plants, and they will soon take up the germina-tion of seeds. , Many persons visit the school every day. They come from Lebanon, Har-risburg,! Steelton, and from New Jer-sey and pther states. Some of therii are educators and they are enthusi-astic in their praise of the new build-ing. Those who have not seen the building recently should take a walk along Granada avenue. Workmen have been busy completing the grounds and sowing grass seed.. The beauty of the building increases every day. Dedication of New Schools Wfll Take Place in October Rev. Romig Lauds Apples It Came From Bible Lands and Solo-mon Loved His Orchards An attractive Harvest Home ser-vice was held in Fishburn's United Brethren church, Sunday. The church was handsomely decorated with near-ly thirty different kinds of fruits and vegetables, topped by two stalks of corn nearly fifteen feet high. An ap-propriate sermon was preached by the pastor, the Rev. O, G. Romig. His theme was "Apples From the Or-chard," basing his remarks on the words as found in Song of Solomon 2:3. Among other things he said : "The apple mentioned in the Bible may not have been exactl y the same as that grown at tho present time, but it has come to us from Bible lands, Tho Romans brought 'it to England , and the monks cultivated their orchards. The, early settlors brought it to the Boston harbor is-land , and soon tho American Indian had his orchard. It has become ono of tho family landmark s, for at two hundred years of ago the apple tree has boon known to boar fruit. Solo-mon sang of tho delights of his ap-ple orchards—tho tree so pleasing for its shade and tho fruit so pleasing to his tnsto." Miss Hershe y s Car d Party Miss Ruth llorslioy entertained thirty-throo guests at an aftornoon bridge party at hor homo Tuesday of this wook.

Some of the Conditions The Salary On September 26 an examination will be held in Hershey for assistant postmaster arid clerk in the Hershey Post-Office. It will, take place in the old. School building. The - announcement which comes from the Third Civil-Service Dis-trict, Philadelphia, states ; .'. "Appli-cants must have reached their eigh-teenth but riot their forty-fifth year on the date of examination. . A per-son under 21 years of age will not be eligible for appointment as assistant postmaster. . Male applicants must be at. least 5 feet .4 inches >in ' height in bare feet, and 125 ppunds-in -weight without overcoat and hat. Female applicants are not required to be of any specific height Or weight." There are certain physical defects that shut out applicants; The full details may be obtained of Postmaster Newton. Married women will not be admitted to the examination, but this does not refer to divorced women or -women separated from their husbands. Ap-plicants need not be residents of the township, as the examination is open to all. The pay for the position is $800 as a beginning with chances of promotion. The: Hershey Post-Office continues to do increasing business in cramped quarters and while the old bank build-ing has been ready for occupancy two months nothing has been dorie to move the office. In such blatters- the Government moves slowly. There is nothing new on the post-mastership, but. it is understood the several appli-cants are all active. Civil-Service Examination For Hershey Post-Office Hershey Park Still Open Fine Moving Pictures and There Will be Dancing Saturday Night Hershey Park remains open this week. The restaurant will not be closed until after Sunday. There will be dancing in the pavillion Saturday night and on the evenings of coming Wednesdays and Saturdays.

On Monday night the amateurs will be given a chance. All are invited to try their talents. Those that win the approval of the audience will be chosen for Saturday evening. Many have already handed in their names to Manager Heilmah. Monday night will be well worth at-tending to see these aspirants for stage honors. It is intended to open a dancing school' for the fall and winter. The prices will be vevy reasonable, The Great War Fighting In the great war goes on. The Russians have won big victories ovor the Austrians. In France the Germans made progress towards Par-is, but in tho past few days the Allies havo checked them. This battle is a series of fights along a line of 120 miles, The losses are frightful. The censorship remains rigid and tho world is uninformed of tho details but is expecting news of decisive results at any time.

Hershe y's Splendid Band Ends its Most Successful Season With Fine Concert Never, has Hershey had a finer sea-son : of music than that which it has enjoyed during the past summer. When Director Samuel J. Feese took hold' of the band four years ago it riiustered eighteen untrained mem-bers. Since then he has built up the present organization oi forty and it is one of the best bands in the state. Not only is o its playing ability fine but it. posseses admirable discipline; all its members take pride in their work, and it is both a credit to the model town and a source of delight to all its people. The building of the new band shell crowned the good work and . thus the concerts every evening during the summer months drew thou-sands of persons from Hershey and surrounding country and the neigh-boring towns and cities. Often scores of automobile parties came to listen to Professor Feese's attractive programs. As the farewell to the regular season on Labor Day he 6f-ferred his best and it was as follows : 1. Coronation March.. G. Meyerbeer 2. Overture, "Zampa" F. Herold 3. Grand Selection from "Faust" .. Ch. Gounod 4. Cornet Solo, "Skyrocket Polka . : W. E. Barnes Fred.

Mr. Frederick Is employed by tho U orHhoyOhocointo Company and wan Irnnsfwi'dd to Lebanon recently, Hershey a Favorite Place With Automobile Parties Five Thousand Meals at the Cafe Show That They Have Come Here in Large Numbers During the , Past Two Months. More ' This Month arid Next . To show the increasing popularity of Hershey as. "i stopping point for automobiles Manager Krause kept a record of meals served at the Cafe during the months of July and : Au-gust. For July the number was.2,495 and for August 2,'448. This record is being kept up during September. As the visitors during June were very numerous it follows that , about eight thousarid persons have patroniz-ed the Cafe during the summer sea-son. This is exclusive of the regular meals in the general dining room and of course it does not include the many thousands who have eaten at the quick lunch- and at the restaurant in the Park. Hershey has become a very impor-tant point on the automobile map and the intention is to increase its fame. The Cafe is as fine as any restaurant of its kind in the state. - Its furni-ture is mahogany, its tableware is solid silver and all the appointments are first-class. Those who dine sit in a glass-ericlosed terrace from which- are attractive views and the whole appearance is that of a delight-ful social function. The autumn promises to be livliest the Cafe has known.- As' its reputa-tion spreads its draws more people from a distance. Many visitors this summer were from the West, some as far as the Pacific Coast. It Cost a Good Many Thousand Dol-lars to Carry Out an Idea But the Result Has Been Altogether Worth the Expenditure. Its Merits It is the Hershey policy to keep ahead. First it found the . proper method of making the best chocolate. Then it produced what is probably the most popular single article of food on the market—the almond bar. It built its factory in the very midst of the greatest . milk supply int America and it has now in full opera-tion the most complete chocolate factory in the world. It makes many articles, does all its printing, arid manufactures its cover-ings and packages and other re-quirements. Among these ' articles are many things that are wonders in mechanical ingenuity, but none of them is more interesting than the hermetically-sealed box. Six months ago'arinouncement was made that this box had at last been achieved through special machinery and this is to con-firm the wisdom of the policy that produced it. • It had been found- that with the best of care goods packed in the old way and in the way many makers still use, there were serious losses in the safety of tho contents. Moreover tho quality ' needed the fullest pro-tection. Out of the tests came the new box. . It is made in tho Hershey factory by special machines and is turned out wonderfully. After tho box is packed it goes through a pro-cess that loaves it absolutely air-tight. Not only is this done but tho top and bottom and sides of the box aro handsomely printed. Tho hormitically-sealed box has mot with universal popularity. Hav-ing done so much to protect dealers as well as consumers the Horshey Chocolate Company prints this cau-tion conspicuously: "Please offor NO damaged goods of our manufacture to your customers. Place such goods aside nnd notify tho jobber through whom purchased." The now box has mount a groat saving to dealers as woll as to jobbers and to tho Horshoy Company, , Tyrone Visitors Mr, nnd 'Mm R, L.

Hershey Trust Company at the close
of business August 27, 1914, shows
that it is handsomely maintaining
its growth and stability, Its re-sources
amount to $1,810,178,74 , and
of the total ^003,605,95 is in bonds,
stocks, short term railroad securities,
etc. It is a remarkable showing:, The
demand for loans in this part of the
country is not as great as in soma
others and while the company (rives
the accommodations needed it is en-abled
to keep an unusually large part
of its funds in gilt-edged investments,
Its surplus fund equals its capital
stock and in addition are undivided
profits of «83,373,82.
