Local Tax List
Not As Yet Filed
Only five of the thirty-eight borough
and township-collectors of county taxes in
Dauphin County have filed at the office of
the county commissioners lists of persons
who have paid county taxes this year.
A State law requires the borough and
township collectors to file the tax lists not
later than twenty days before each election.
A primary election was held Tuesday.
Lists have been filed by the collectors of
Penbrook, Dauphin and Paxtang boroughs
and of Middle Paxton and Lower Paxton
townships.
The law providing for the compilation
and public inspection of these tax lists is a
measure for the prevention of the use of
fraudulent tax receipts for election purpos-es
and the illegal voting of persons who
have not paid county taxes within two
years before an election.
It was divulged a year ago that this
statute has been generally ignored by
Dauphin County collectors. As a result
the county commissioners last year issued
sjxj cial instructions to the collectors and
all lists were available for the 1924 elec-tions.
The commissioners stated that the
present collectors were instructed when
they took office to file these election tax
lists but that special instructions were not
issued by them this year.
The penalty for failing to file the tax
lists is a maximum fine of $200 or im-prisonment
of not more than one year or
both. There have been no prosecutions
under the law in this county.

State College Plans to
Cut Farmin g Costs
An effort to reduce the cost of power and
labor In farm oj>eratlonH will lxs made on
one of the farms at the Pennsylvania Stale
College this year.
So far as la known, this is the first college
experiment of this particular kind. A
four-yea r rotation of coin , oats, wheat and
hay will be followed.
"With power and labor constituting 05
per cent of the cost of producing corn
crops, wo felt that some means should be
used to lower this burden ," says K. U.
MlasBlngame , head of the farm machinery
department at the college. "Humes
collected on 1 Hi farms in l.ancaHter County
In 1923 gave .that average, Intercut ,
depreciation , taxes, Insurance, seed, ferti-lizer
, marketing and profit coni|x>M:d the
remainiiiK 35 per cent,
"In producing oats, the |>ower and
lulxir costs amounted to 50 per cent; with
wheat , 'l.'l per cunt; with alfalfa , .'10 per
cent and with hay, 21 per cent. "

The Smokestack
f B l t'Dec Ja jtGce
Writers' Cramp.
We just sit here and look solemn.
For we can't think of a thing
To write for the Smokestack Column,
O Death, where is thy sting?
We are like a scandal bringer
Who has no more dirt to bring,—
A bee that fias lost his stinger
With scores of folks to sting.
We are like an encored singer
Who has no more songs to sing,—
A beautiful, lofty winger-
Falling with broken wing.
We are like a heavy swinger
.Who has missed an awful swing,—
Like mother's electric wringer.
With no more clothes to wring.
We are like a boughten stringer
With not one small fish to string,—
A throw away ting-a-linger
With no more tings to ling.
We are like a paying teller
When there's no more cash to tell,—
A lumberjack of a feller
With no more trees to fell.
We are like a bloodhound's smeller
When there's no more blood to smell
A bootlegger's empty cellar
With no more hootch to sell.
We are like a black cat's lapper
When there's no more milk to lap,—
Or yesterday's saucy flapper.
Now grown too old to flap.
WHAT IS THAT? A thunder shower?
Let it rain, hail and be damp,
We're like a bus without power;
We have the writers' cramp.
He Got the Point.
Old Man Dusendorfer who teaches the
district school at Toad Hollow is, like
many a pedagogue of his type, a little slow
at seeing a joke, especially if it is a practical
joke.
You will no doubt recall how one day last
spring he returned to the schoolroom to
find the business end of a pin pointed up-ward
in his chair. And you will probably
recall his mortification as evidenced by his
speech at that time which was. «
"Good heavings, can it be* possible I
have been sitting on that pin all forenoon?"
Well, this fall the third day of school the
boys, or maybe it was the girls, set another
pin for their dear teacher. He had been
out supervising play at recess and was
pretty tired. When he came in, he threw
himself down in his chair in much the same
way as a farmer drops a heavy boulder he
has carried off a field. He ggj up as though
he had been shot from a catapult.
"I dunno whether Old Man Dusendorfer
saw the joke or not," said one of the boys,
or maybe it was a girl, "but I betcha he got
the point ."
Had Glory Enough
Tom Black isn't selfish. The other day
a crowd of men was watching the steel-work
for the new bridge over the Reading
tracks as it was swung into place. Now
and then some one would venture a sug-gestion
as to how the work should be done
(taking care, however, that none of the
men working on the new bridge could hear
him). Now and then an old bridger would
spiel off a yarn about the days when he
was in the game.
"Say," some one said to Tom Black ,
"you don 't bridge it at all any more, do
you?"
"No," said Tom modestly, as though he
hated to boast about past achievements,
"the last bridge Peg and I built was the
Brooklyn Bridge. We figured we ought
to give the young bucks a chance to show
their stuff , so we quit bridging altogether
after that."
We wouldn 't be afraid to bet that there
are people right here in Hershey who never
saw a cradle. We mean a cradle such as is
used in the cutting of grain by hand. Not
that a person who has never seen a cradle
has missed a lot , but then :
The first time we ever heard
"Rocked in the cradle of the deep
I lay me down in peace to sleep,
we wondered with all the wonderment of a
kid of r.. e how in the world a fellow could
sleep in a grain cradle.
Pat Fanell was cradling oats in his field
over next to the woods. It was a scorch-ing
hot day. Pat sat down in the shade to
rest.
"Edwin! Edwin!" Pat called to his son
and heir to the Parrel acres. "Go fetch
me the stump me piiie lays on."

Why Every Girl Shoul d Join
the Girl Reserves
The first initiation service of the Grade
School Girl Reserves will be held at the
Hershey Young Women's Christian Asso-ciation
on Sunday afternoon, October 4th,
at 3.30 o'clock. The association extends
an invitation to all who are, interested in
the work of the Girl Reserves and in the
girlhood of our town. The members of
this club are as follows: Marian Hinkle,
president ; Julia Owens, secretary; Alice
Reilly, treasurer; Eloise Moyer, Erla
Balsbaugh, Sara Leibfreid, Emily Zart-man,
Kathryn Hostetter, June Eby,
Dorothy Imboden, Betty O'Neil, Emily
Warner, Ruth Taylor, Helen Furst, Alice
Woomer, Alice Whitmoyer, Martha Dup-ler,
Sara Dupler and Helen Reese.
The members of the Tri-Y or High
School Girl Reserves are: Grace Lloyd,
president; Lois Gilman, Alma Gerlach,
Dorothy Hyland, Ruth Liller, Marjorie
Reese, Louise Shay, Kathleen Sandy,
Velia Smith, Mary Taylor, Mildred
Edwards, Helen Schmidt, Josephine Baum,
Mafalda D'Auria and Dorothy Hill,
adviser.
The Girl Reserve movement is the teen
age girl movement of the Young Women's
Christian Association. The Young Wom-en's
Christian Association is a fellowship
of women and girls. The Girl Reserves
are a cross section of the whole fellowship
—the fresh stream which feeds into the
main current of the movement at its
source, the youth. They have the future
of the Young Women's Christian Associa-tion
in their keeping. They are the
reserve forces that in future years will be
the governing body of the organization,
hence the name RESERVES.
The girl between twelve and eighteen
faces the critical character building years
of her life. At the age of twelve certain
habits have been acquired—some of which
are not very firmly fixed. The years
ahead are therefore the ones in which new
habits for good may be acquired and bad
habits replaced by good ones. It is
a difficult period lor the girl and f o r all
people related to and working with her.
Her mental growth, her . bodily develop-ment,
her consciousness of herself, not only
as an individual, but as a part of a group,
her spiritual yearnings are all important to
deal with. The home, the church , the
school and the community through its
various agencies are responsible for seeing
that she is carefully guided through these
critical years. It is the purpose of the
Young Women's Christian Association,
through the Girl Reserves, to meet the
fundamental needs of the teen-age girl and
to work out a program of work which will
make for successful Christian living.
One of the outstanding needs is whole-some
recreation. Recreation needs to be
based upon definite standards of right
thinking and right living. Another need
is to instill a democratic spirit, which will
help to bring together different groups in
school, church and community activities.
Developing character standards is one of
the most important needs, that are brought
out through the Girl Reserve program.
Someof the ways in which a girl's growth
toward attaining her ideal in health,
knowledge and spirit may be achieved
have been gathered together into a list of
activities which the girl does by herself or
with other members of the Girl Reserve
Triangles or in relation to other people.
Because a Girl Reserve has to measure
herself in preparing to do the future work
of the Association she is placed upon her
honor to state truly what she has done.
So such a list is called the honor list.
The Girl Reserve is really measuring
herself through achieving a number of
points, which when totaled , stand as a
record of her efforts. One and sometimes
two Honor Points are awarded for each
activity. The Honor List is under four
heads: Health, Knowledge, Spirit and
Service. A girl, is a. Volunteer until she
has "earned" fifteen points and is able to
recite and explain the meaning of the code,
the slogan and the purpose of the Girl
Reserve movement. She is then initiated
and is entitled to wear the Girl Reserve
armband. For every forty honors won
thereafter she is given a chevron for her
arm band . After receiving four chevrons
which represents 160 honors she may work
for special honors such as a red circle
around the triangle for health award, a
small owl for knowledge award, a blue star
for service award and a Roman lamp for
spirit award. The highest honor for a
Girl Reserve is the Girl Reserve ring.
These are silver with a raised seal on
which is enameled the Girl Reserve Tri-angle
in hard French blue enamel.
The slogan: "To Face Life Squarely."
The purpose: "To Find and Give the
Best."
The code: "As A Girl Reserve I Will Be:
gracious in manner; impartial in judgment;
ready for service; loyal to friends; reaching
toward the best ; earnest in purpose; seeing
the beautiful; eager for knowled ;e; rever-ent
to God; victorious over self; ever
dependable; sincere at all times. I will do
my best to honor God, my country, and
my community; to help other girls, and to
be in all ways a loyal, true member of the
Girl Reserves."
Governor Fixes
Fall Arbor Day
Governor Pinchot in a proclamation
has designated October 23 as Arbor and
Bird Day. He asked that it be observed
"by such exercises as will develop a greater
appreciation and better understanding of
the important part played by trees and
birds in the lives of our people."
"There is urgent need that all our people
shall consider the inevitable consequences
of forest destruction," he said. "Beginn-ing
with the necessary clearing of farm
lands by the early pioneers, forest destruc-tion
has gone forward with prodigal waste-fulness.
We are now face to face with
an actual shortage of wood.
"Wood for the home and industry must
be brought into the State from long dis-tances
and at great expense. Our water
supplies are curtailed by the reduction m
the control once exercised by a complete
forest cover on all our mountains. With
the destruction of our forests has come the
inevitable decrease in forest life, large and
small. It is of vital concern to us and to
future forests be restored."
Declaring that the commonwealth has
made "an excellent start" in forest con-servation
through the purchase of state
forests and that "marked progress" has
been made in the propagation and care of
game, the governor said : "There remains
much to be done to restore to production
the thousands of idle acres on the mountain
sides of Pennsylvania , to restore and
protect the wild life associated with the
forests and to conserve our water resour-ces."

HERSHEY FOLLIES
I OCTOBER 8-9
New York Cocoa
Exchange Formed
On May 28, 1925, there was filed with
the Secretary of State of the State of New
York, a charter for the "New York Cocoa
Exchange," which will open for business
this month.
Trading on the Cocoa Exchange will be
open to the entire world or as much of it as
are interested in trading cocoa beans, and
it is believed by those who have organized
the Exchange that its facilities, as they
become known, will be availed of by
merchants in foreign countries and that as
a result the importance of the New York
market will be greatly increased.
Also it is expected as an important
secondary result that the facilities of the
Exchange will make cocoa beans a much
more liquid security for the bank loans and
that the financing and importing into this
country of t he growing cocoa crop of the
world will be greatly facilitated.
As the Exchange has not been organized
as a medium of cocoa speculation no words
will be wasted in defending it against the
small amount of criticism .of those who
have attacked the organization on such
grounds—nor can it be said at this time
to what extent chocolate manufacturers
will use the Exchange to hedge their posi-tion
for future deliveries of cocoa beans,
but trading by those who wish so to trade
will be welcomed.
It is believed by those who have orga-nized
the Exchange that the following
results will be obtained that are certainly of
interest to the entire cocoa trade:
1st.—A broadening of the entire cocoa
bean market and the attraction to this
country of a larger percentage of the
world's cocoa crops.
2d.—A stabilization of prices of cocoa
beans.
3d.—The collection and publication of
reliable information as to the world's
production and distribution of cocoa beans.
4th.—Facilitation of the financing of im-portant
cocoa crops while being imported
into this country or being held in store
here awaiting consumption.
5th.—The protection of the merchants
who import and carry in stock the in-creasingly
large quantities of cocoa beans
that are necessary to insure an uninter-rupted
supply of raw material to the
chocolate manufacturers.
6th.—The opening to the manufacturers
who chose to use it as a market in which to
purchase for future delivery a major or
minor proportion of their supplies of cocoa
beans.
The organization of the Exchange has
been carefully planned and its oix;ration
will be carefully supervised , and as this will
be the world's first Cocoa Exchange it is
confidently hoped by those who are re-s|
x>nsible for it that it will prove a credit
and assistance to the entire cocoa and
chocolate industry.

Week Marks Birth
of Constitution
Governor Pinchot, in a statement has
called upon Pennsylvanians to observe
this week as Constitution Week and
Thursday as the 138th anniversary of the
birth of constitutional government in this
county.
"During the coming week," his state-ment
said, "Let those in positions of
responsibility, our educators, our editors
and our patriotic fraternal , political and
religious organizations, give renewed
pledges of fealty and devotion to the
greatest of all political instruments—the
Constitution of the United States of
America."
"In affluence our greatest blessings
become commonplace. With neither
famine, nor war, we are prone to forget
that health, plenty and peace are priceless.
Nor do we consider seriously that every
advantage we enjoy is the direct outgrowth
of constitutional law and order.
"The law must be obeyed . The Ameri-can
people have no alternative. It is the
bulwark of their personal and national
safety. It should never be broken .
"Records of criminal violence and of
open violation of the law indicate a de-cadent
respect for law. Records ol elec-tions,
in which over 50 per cent, of our
voters fail to vote, show a growing in-difference
toward civic responsibility. We
do well, therefore , to name one week of
each year in which to consider our debt of
loyalty to the Constitution."

New Buck Jones
Picture is Riot of
Action and Thrills
Buck Jones, William Fox cowboy star,
who has thrilled thousands of picture fans
by his deeds of daring, surpasses his pre-vious
efforts in "Hearts and Spurs," based
on "The Outlaw," Jackson Gregory's
realistic story of the west, which will be the
feature attraction at the Hershey Central
Theatre on Tuesday evening, Sept. 22d, at
7.30 o'clock.
The story is replete with adventurous
movements and terrific action. In trans-scribing
the novel to the screen, the activi-ty
of the plot has been greatly enchanced.
Buck is just the kind of man you would
imagine the hero to be. He is rugged,
lives and breathes the great outdoors, and
conducts himself like a true westerner.
The big Fox star's forte is performing
hazardous deeds. The present story gives
him ample opportunity to wade literally
through perilous ventures. There are
fights aplenty—hard fast rides—more
fights.
Carol Lombard plays the leading role
opposite Buck with good understanding
and Freeman Wood, William Davidson,
Jean LaMott and Robert Littlefield all
give sterling performances. W. S. Van-
Dyke directed the picture and John Stone
prepared the scenario.

Winks", the latest production by Paul
Iribe and Frank Urson, the screen's only
directorial "team", which will be shown at
the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday
evening, Sept. 19th, at 6.30 and 8.30
o'clock.
Viola Dana, Theodore Roberts and
Raymond Griffith are featured in the lead-ing
roles of the picture which was adapted
for the screen by Bertram Millhauser from
the unusually popular stage play, "Lord
Chumley", by David Belasco and Henry
C. DeMille.
The story is a melodramatic comedy
with no small amount of mystery tossed in
for good measure and tells of a titled Eng-lishman,
engaged to marry a beautiful
American girl. Her brother, a lieutenant
in the navy, losses some valuable papers
and Lord Algernon Cholomondeley, called
Chumley for short, goes about retrieving
them, thus winning the girl and saving the
family name.
"Forty Winks" is just one big laugh
after another. You'll laugh at Griffith the
first time he puts in an appearance on the
screen—all decked out in morning clothes,
high hat , cane, spats and what not (Griffith
and his high hat are destined to become
famous.)
When Griffith starts on the trail of the
missing naval plans the fun begins. It
starts in the young lieutenant 's home and
ends up on a navy target out in the Atlan-tic
under fire of tf\e guns of XheJaattlefleet.
It is claimed that no funnier scene than
this was ever brought to the screen before.
Cyril Chadwick, William Boyd and
Anna May Wong are included in the sup-porting
cast.
1000 Extras Paid
For Watchin g Bout

John Ford during the filming of fight
scenes for "The Fighting Heart," were

George O'Brien, Victor MacLaglen, Leo
Houck , Mike Dempsey, Marty Cross and
Jimmy Dime staged several fast bouts for
the benefit of the camera. All of these
actors were formerly top-notchers of the
squared circle limelight.
Regulation four-ounce gloves were used
by O'Brein and MacLaglen in the fights in
this screen version of Larry Evans' "Once
To Every Man," a thrilling story of the
prize ring
^. John Ford directed. The
picture will be shown at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Thursday evening,
Sept. 24t h, at 7.30 o'clock.

Hershe y Schools
Enrollmen t Totals
1237 Pupils
The total School enrollment at the
beginning of the 1925-26 term has reached
1237 pupils. Of these 829 are enrolled in
the Grade School, and 408 in the Junior-
Senior High School. This is an increase
of 133 pupils over the enrollment of a year
ago at this same time.
As a result of congestion in the 4th grade
an additional teacher was elected . Miss
Florence Hartman, of Palmyra, was
chosen for this position. Miss Hartman is
a graduate of the Annville High School in
the class of 1923, and of the Millersville
Normal School in the class of 1925. Due
to her special training while at the Normal
School she seems eminently fitted for this
grade of work.
In the Junior-Senior High School there
was undue congestion in the 9th grade, and
to relieve the situation here a teacher was
elected to take care of the over flow of
classes. Miss Dorothy A. Mentzer, of
Lebanon, was chosen for this position.
Miss Mentzer is a graduate of the Lebanon
High School and Ursinus College, being a
member of the class of 1921. Since that
time she was employed at Ursinus College
as a special teacher and comes to us with
very high recommendations.
The High School Athletic Association
held its first meeting in the High School
Auditorium , at which time considerable
enthusiasm for the coming football season
was aroused. It is hoped that the student
body will ally itself with this organization
and help to promote the various school
sports. The schedule for the football
season will appear in the next issue of the
Press.
The High School Auditorium makes a
very fine appearance with its new stage
equipment. From the proscenium arch a
beautifu l raspberry colored mercerized
velvet curtain is sus|x;nded in ample folds
in beautiful contrast with the silver gray
teasers immediately back of them. The
various settings are very beautiful and can
be best appreciated by actually seeing
them. The school authorities are always
glad to have the privilege of showing
visitors through the schools, or have them
attend the chapel exercises.
Tenement Children
Return to New York
New York took back Its own on Friday
when the 34 children from congested
sections, who have spent the last two weeks
In Hershey and vicinity on a vacation , the
first of their young lives—went home.
New York tixik back witli the boys and
girls u piece of the heart of Dauphin county
if the scenes when the youngsters left , tell
a story. There was many a wet Dauphin
county cheek as the "Gixxl-byca " wcresaid.
And how the Ixiys and girls hated to go
back—a t least many of them. "I'll like
to stay all summer"; "I'd like to go home,
kiss my mother, and come back" ; "Gee,
but I had a fine time "—these were some oi
the expressions heard as the little guests
were lined up to Ixiard the train,
How their hosts, who entertained them,
felt was shown when they came to the
station. With every little group 'there
were several grownups, trudging alongside,
carrying big bundles, that looked like they
contained gixxl things to eat , and nice
things to wear.
When they came here two weeks ago,
the most of them carried almost nothing.
But what they took back with them was
just the op[X)slte. Everything from apples
to big bouquets of flowers filled their little
arms.
Most of them gained in weight , and
many of them went back with new clothes,
their old ones wrapped up.
And what stories they will have to tell
their less fortunate brothers , sisters and
playmates , and their parents! And what
memories they will keep with them through
the years, au they trudge the sidewalks of
New York, where the horizon is the walla
of high buildings , and the llaru of electric
lights , and where no soft winds steal in the
windows to thij lied of the little folk,
bringing whispers of fields and woods and
flowers.
