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. Chas. E.

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.

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." Bearcat The chigger is invisible,* lie's short and very thin , But he's so heavy that his feet sink right into your shin. —Houston Post—Dispatch.

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.

"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." Bunco Part y at Y. W. C. A.

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. Laugh Scenes in "Fort y Winks" Funnier than "Changing Husbands"— That's what Paramount claims for "Forty 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 One thousand extras, used by Director John Ford during the filming of fight scenes for "The Fighting Heart," were paid for watching real ring masters when 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. Two More Ton Litters Weighed The third and fourth ton litter of pigs to be raised in Dauphin County have been produced at Jednotn Farm, north of Middletown , it was announced this week by a committee of the County Agriculture Extension Anoocitition.

The other Jednota litter attained n weight of 2297 |x>unds and had a value of $344.62, netting a profit of $156.21, The judges of the litters were: T. S.

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.

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. "
Thlity-clght persons out of every hun-dred
In the United Status now earn u
nlnry or wages.
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."
