March 13th , at 6,30 and 8,30 o'clock, Mlas Stark will do "her stuff"— Iho Charleuton and too dancing Ataboyl Here's A Song for Maggie. I wandered today through the park, Mag-gie, On my way from the Hershey store. The band shell was silent and still, Maggie, Where symphony and jazz were before, The ponies were down in the zoo, Maggie, A nibbling at wisps of choice hay, No kiddies were waiting to ride, Maggie • When I strolled past the bandshell today Then I strolled to the park swimming pool, Maggie, - Where in fancy I took a'high dive, ,1 broke my poor neck when I struck: Mag-gie, And was lucky to come out alive. The dance hall was minus the crowd, Mag-gie, That glides to the blaring of jazz , And the carrousel had not one, Maggie Of the tunes that in summer it has. The ball field was free of all threats, Mag-gie, At the lives of the umpires of Swat, No penny pinchers peered through the hedge, Maggie, That borders the athletic lot. The park roller coaster was parked, Mag-gie, And no shriekings and shouts rent the air As some first-timer hit the first dip, Mag-gie, And gave voice to a reverent prayer. Yes, the park cafe was closed, Maggie, As was also the souvenir booth, And the soft drink stand was on strike, Maggie, Oh I swear I am telling the truth When I say that the park isn't, what, Maggie, It was in the sweet summertime, Though I think you have gathered as much, Maggie, If you've cast eyes upon this sad rhyme. Chorus They say on Decoration Day, Maggie, The park will be under full swing. Then we'll seek all the pleasures therein, Maggie,— Until then, this sad song we must sing. Dee Jay, says the Willage Wit, I can always tell when you have had an extra hard wrestle with the Muse. You come to the office on such a morning with your hair sprawled in all directions over your vaulted dome, your face isn't washed, your necktie is crooked, and you have a wild other-worldliness in your eye that makes the spookiest feeling play tag with itself up and down my spinal column. There's one we missed. We should have called our allowance of space the Spinal Column. Oh well, we are big hearted. (Business of patting self on back.) There's an idea for the Hershey High School to put into use. The Spinal Column. It looks good, doesn't it? Inquires the Man with the Cedar Chest, "Is the Smokestack burning soft coal? It seems to be giving off and awful lot of smoke. Some of that smoke must get in my eyes or something, because a lot of your stuff I can't see through at all." A Modern John Smith Just lately we made a remark about a modern Sir Walter Raleigh and how he saved the day for the tightly skirted lady who was trying to step up into the coach of a passenger tram. Well, ladies and gents, meet the modern John Smith. Our coal was about all, as they are fond of saying in this section , and we ordered a small quantity of Pocahontas nut. We presume by now you have guessed who was the Modern John Smith. None other than Ours Truly. But to our story. , When the Missus perceived what for coal 'we had purchased and what for fire it made, she was wroth and quoth, "This stuff all melteth in together and formeth one solid mass. What can a person do with such a coal? Don't you ever buy any more Pocahontas nut! I don 't believe I can ever burn this stuff." Here we threw ourselves into the breach with a remark which , if we do say so our-selves, was about as effective a bit of come-back as we have pulled off in a turtle's age : "When you get medicine from the doctor you always read the directions, don't you?" we asked. "What has that to do with coal that all runs together into a solid mass," inquired the Missus. "Read your directions on the coal bill. It says 1080 pounds Poc. nut. If Poc. doesn't spell poke, then I never taught school three years. What you have to do is poke the stuff and then it gives a wonder-ful fire ," so quoth John Smith in re. Poca-hontas nut. Full many a (lower , as Gray said, la torn to blush unseen and waste Its sweetness on the desert air. Yes and beautiful flowers oflimes appear where one would least expect to find them. li p Where We Come From we were favored with the services of a farm hand whom we shall call Alf. Dibble. I hat isn 't his name, but that 's what we shall call him here . Alf was salt of the earth , a patient trudging soul who put up with a grea t deal from we boys. In Ye Sniolte-stnekers younger and sprightlier days he used to fiddle for square dances. He used also to call on "That Certain I "arty " more than once a week. Alf's room was right beside the then embryonic smokestacker. Little did Alf or the embryonic smoke-stacker then think what fame ? and fortune ? awaited th e latter. It so happened that we took dellgll| In making noises to waken Alf when wo came in at ''Three .O'clock in the Mornin g." This lie patiently Ixire as part of the cross which every man must bear. One evening Alf , the brother , and the embryonic smokestacker were doing the milkin g. "Say, Alf", we asked , thinkin g to have a little fun at Alf's excuse, "do you know how that big bull over there Is different than we are. "No, 1 don't." "Why that bull always sta ys in nights and we never stay in nights." "That so?" wild Al l Innocently. "Do ye know how that there hull is like you, Deeja y?" .> • "I low's that?" "Because he's alwa ys a bawlla ' and don 't know enough to keep his mouth shut , and when ho o|hmih hlu mouth lie don 't say anythin g." Says the Man with the Wooden l^)g, necessity Is the mother of Invention, I can make a pretty good guess as to how the cigarette came to bo Invented . Some fellow Invented the cigarette to quiet his nerves while his wife was getting herself ready for a railroad tri p which they were going to take on u train duo in ton minutes. Say, said the busy executive to his assistant , all our phones are out of order. Call the o|H>rator , will you, and have her send a man to repair them at once. I The Smokestack !

He was born in the Wild Lands, self-raised and self-taught, for a rattle.- snake bite had deprived him of-his mother while he was still of tender age. He sought protection in a herd, but its leader, the ferocious Killer, drove him out. He had no place in his herd for an outcast—a weakling—a baby stallion. But there came a day when this untamed weakling was a magnificent, powerful creature who defeated the Killer, who had never before known anything but victory! Rex, who made his film debut in 1924 in "The King of Wild Horses," is an even more magnetic magnificent creature in "Black Cyclone," a story which shows his wooing of Lady, a "beautiful dappled grey mare, and his great love for and protection of her ; and of his friendship for a man who saved his life from the treacherous quick-sands. But three people are required to tell the story of the humans in "Black Cyclone," and they are Guinn Williams, Kathleen Collins and Christian J. Frank. Among the animals are Rex and Lady; the Killer, one of the craziest-spotted horses ever seen, and the Pest, a burro that is quite the funniest little animal in existence. For atmosphere are hundreds of wild horses, a wolf pack, a honey-hunting bear, and a man-hunting cougar. Thousands of acres of Nevada's beautiful plains and hills supply the background for Black Cyclone," which is hailed as the year's greatest sensation—both as to dramatic value and photography. Its story, as in the case of "The King of Wild Horses," is by Hal Roach, and the direction by Fred Wood Jackman. Upon its opening in New York City, "Black Cyclone" received exceptional and unanimous praise from the Metropoli-tan critics, proclaiming it the outstanding production of recent years. The New York Times, one of the world's most con-servative and intellectual newspapers, not only was lavish with praise in its review, but took occasion on the following Sunday to gain editorially comment at length on the picture's merit. Charlie Chaplin in "A Dog s Life" Friday and Saturday Charlie Chaplin, gloom chaser extra-ordinary, will pay a visit to the Hershey Central Theatre on Friday evening, March 12th, at 7.30 o'clock, and Saturday eve-ning, March 13th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock, in a Pathe-picture, "A Dog's Life." In this classic comedy, Charlie has the same troubles that befell Old Mother Hubbard, for Charlie finds no bones in the cupboard for his dog or himself. Charlie is a wandering son who tramps the streets looking for a 'help wanted" sign. Things are looking up when he finds the sign in front of a brewery and Charlie takes his place in the line of rough laborers. Things start brewing for Charlie. Every time he is all set to get the ticket that will entitle him to punch the time clock and land on the payroll, Charlie is elbowed out of the way and he finally seeks solace in a lively dance hall , along with his only friend , a mongrel pup. As a dance-hall lizzard , Charlie is a scream. The usual dancin g space allotted to a couple isn't enough for Charlie and a pretty entertainer who sees in him better stuff than that of which his garments are made. Charlie's feet are always in some-body 's way. If his baggy trousers had been lined with bills, Charlie could have overcome that handicap, but he couldn't buy drinks so he was given the bouncer's exit. He's a tragic figure indeed—and the poor mut that trails him everywhere adds to his utter forlornness. He's out of step with all mankind—hungry, friendless, homeless. But Charlies turns hardships in to laughs. The deeper he gets into trouble, the more he adds to the audience's joy. COUNTY TO AID IN BUILDING TOWNSHIP ROAD The Dauphin County commissioners this week decided to give $1000 to the Conewago Township sui>ervisor8 to help pay for the construction1 of a road extend-ing from Deodate to a point a mile east-ward . iiw iNiiiiimHMiiiHiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiMiimitiiiniiMliiiiiiiliHiimiimiimn ^^ What Is the Greatest *} Sin in Hershey (anywhere ) • The sermon by Rev.

The score at halves was 16V14. Hershey experienced a great difficulty in locating the range of the basket and due to this handicap they were unable to exhibit their usual teamwork and high scoring, which the Hershey rooters were naturally looking for. The Hershey team came back in the second half with a great determination to retain their clean slate, and with this and Elizabethtown's fast pace gradually weak-ening, the "chocolatown"-outscored their opponents by 14 points during the second period. It seemed as though the jinx was cast off of Hershey and thrown on Eliza-bethtown boys the second half. How-ever, both teams were going "neck and neck" throughout the entire game, and neither willing to take the short end of the c¦ ontest. "Dick" Sponagle, the dependable center on the Hershey team, has nearly recovered from his ankle injury , but was compelled to stay out of the Elizabethtown game. He will probably be in the line-up for the week-end games, with Manheim and Carlisle. This will strengthen the team and it should put them back in their old form. If they come out at the end of the season with a record of no defeats, there will be a probability of them qualifying for Perm-State Tournament, in which the Central Pennsylvania League champions will compete. John Elder Men's Bible Class Plan Activities The John Elder Men's Bible Class held their monthly meeting on Monday evening at the "Manse", when the following officers were elected: President, John McKinne; vice-president, J. Addison Kyle; secretary, Harry Fasnacht; assistant secretary, Theo-dore Boyer; treasurer, Morris H. Wenger ; teacher, Rev. R. H. Taylor; assistant teacher, Prof. Angell Matthewson.

Mr. Mease will speak at the Wednesday morning session on "Co-operative Effort in Religious Education. Robert E.

TO HOLD A BREEVAICVHAL AT SAND Rev. Lettick , of Annville, "the Bulldog Evangelist," will conduct a two week's evangelistic service at the Sand Beach Union Church, beginning Monday eve-ning, March 15th. You are cordially invited to attend these services. Hershey Girl Reserves Planning for 1928 Conference A very practical and worth-while con-ference was held over the week-end at the Harrisburg Y. W. C. A. for all High School Girl Reserves from Hanover, Harrisburg, Hershey, Lewistown, Lancaster and Car-lisle. About 100 girls were in attendance. Our local Girl Reserves were represented by Grace Lloyd, president; Helen Schmidt, treasurer ; Elda Hutchinson, Mildred Runkle, Alma Gerlach, Ruth and Mary Taylor, Louise Shay, Lois Gilman, and Misses Dorothy Hill and Rachel Baker, advisers. The theme of the conference was "But— This is the Road for Me," and the subjects for the toasts all dealt with the question of road building, upkeep, etc. "Life is Made Up of Roads," "The Road the Girl Re-serves Chooses", "The Challenge to Climb" and "The Call of the Flute" which was followed by a most excellent talk by Miss Margaret Moss, Assistant Director of the Children's Bureau, State of Pennsyl-vania, who took as her topic, "The Girl Who Dares." Do we dare blaze the trail of being friendly with people of other lands? De we dare smile at them and let them know we would like to be friends? Do we dare make history in this way even as the 49'ers blazed the trail and made friends? Al. Thompson, of the East End Trust Company, gave a very splendid talk on "Detours", which are so often trying to the patience and temper of those who are obliged to use them, but always ahead, if we keep out of the ruts arid gutters, is the main road which is the objective toward which the detour sign posts point. Program planning also had a part in the conference discussion and on Tuesday night the local Tri-Y Club brought out many things they had learned while there. The Sunday morning church service and the afternoon ceremonial "Candles That Burn" furnished more of the inspiration of the conference, and all felt at the close it had "been good to be there." Carlisle has invited the conference for next year and the local club hopes that they may extend the invitation for the following year or 1928. Will the com-munity help them to realize their ambi-tion ? It will make for a.better communi-ty— for better womanhood—better homes. Help them to realize the theme of the con-ference, "But—This is the Road for Me." Hershey High to Play Manheim and Carlisle On Friday night of this week the Her-shey boys' basketball teams will meet the Manheim High varsity and reserves. The game will be played at the Men's Club. On Saturday Hershey will bump up against the Carlisle High team on the Men's Club floor. Hershey defeated the aggregation earlier in the season, but since they strengthened considerably. They have recently held both Steelton and Tech to low scores, so a snappy game can be looked for. Elizabethtown Junior Varsity will be on hand to offer the Her-shey understudies their opposition for the preliminary attraction. E. M. Hershey Buys Rosedale Farm E. M. Hershey last week purchased the "Rosedale" farm, located between the Jednota Printery and the Odd Fellows Home Site, west of Middletown. The price paid was $45,000. This farm, comprising 150 acres, was one of the prize tracts of the late Col. James Young and has been in, the Young family for fift y-nine years. Mr. Hershey, it is said, will take possession of the farm about the first of April of the present year and it is understood that a large portion of the ground along the State highway will be laid out in building lots. BIRTHDAY SURPRISE AJvery pleasant birthday surprise party was held on Saturday evening at the home of Calvin Wagner, at Palmdale, in honor of Miss Caroline Shank. Those present were Miss Elsie Massirner, Miss Katherine Baum, Miss Katherine Boyer, Miss Elsie Brehm, Miss Caroline Shank, Calvin Wagner, Earl Nye, Robert Hetrick , Mel-vin Saddler, Maurice Baer , Wm. Landis Jr., Frank Shank , Miss Leon Orendorf , Miss Dorothy Juners, Miss Gertrude Young, J. S. Wler, Mr. and Mrs. Harr y Wagner, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Wagner , Mr. and Mrs. Harr y Umdis, Susan Landis, Ada and Vernan Wagner and Mr. and Mrs. Elias Wagner. Hershey to Meet Hummelstown in a Debate Monday Evening The affirmative debating team of the Hershey High School, who won their first debate staged at Mechanicsburg, will have another opportunity to display their oratorical ability when they will meet the negative team from the . Hummelstown High School. The scheduled time for the clash, is Monday evening, at 8.00 o'clock sharp, in the Hershey High School audi-torium. The teams, respectively, will try to prove that our government should or should not control and operate the coal mines. After feeling and seeing the results of the recent coal miners' strike, there is a considerable source of disfavor with the present system of operation. Circulating rumors have it that our friends from the ¦ neighboring town are coming to Hershey with no other desire than ^ to take the measure of their "old time" rivals. The students representing the Hershey team are strenuously prepar-ing their arguments, and if they repeat the fine quality of presentation, which they demonstrated at Mechanicsburg, it is an assured fact that the Hummelstown quartet will meet with plenty of opposition in gaining the favorable vote. The last debate staged in Hershey at-tracted a large audience. The auditorium is capable of holding a very large number of people, and the school authorities cor-dially invite the public to come out to hear these spirited debates. Admission is-free. The team members who will compete for the two teams are as follows: Hershey— Beulah Shaffner, Mary Hummer, Harold Sours and alternate, LeRoy Shank; Hum-melstown— Lois Strickler, Robert Nissley, Herman Mariano and Virginia Gingrich, alternate. Mr. John E. Snyder will be the chairman. The selected judg es are : Prof. John E. Sherk, of Paxtang; Rev. C. G. Leather-man, of Hummelstown, and Rev. Paul M. Kinports, of Hershey. D. S. Graeff Busy Selling Chicks and Onion Sets D. S. Graeff is a busy man these days, for he has more than 400 downy-covered baby chicks galivanting around for a week in the display window-of the Harrisburg Seed Company, South Market Square. These represent just a small percentage of the chicks, of the Rhode Island Red strain, that have been shipped to Mr. Graeff's headquarters from the famous Canfield hatchery. The latest type of brooder is sheltering the chicks and keeps them warm and comfy. Another display which is attracting considerable attention, and which is Mr. Graeff's masterpiece, is the large quantity of red and yellow onion sets. Incidentally, these planting onions are being offered at twentjy and twenty-five cents a quart compared with thirty and thirty-five cents a year ago, which, says Mr. Graeff , will give everybody the opportunity of eating lots of onions this year. An onion a day brings health, wealth and happiness, says Mr. Graeff. Mr. Graeff is mailing a beautiful seed catalog, and he will be only to glad to mail a copy to all those who are interested in gardening.

After rendering this service, Mr. Kaylor pre-sented $20.00 to the Company. No ro|x>rt was presented from the com-mittee which is soliciting funds for the new chemical apparatus, owing to the incle-ment weather and sickness. II . M. Faust , a representative of the Buffalo Fire Appliance Cor|x>ration , was present and.spoke in behalf of the chemical engine manufactured by this company.

Miss High has devoted five years o; good, faithful and conscientious work tc the furtherance of the physical well-being of the people of Hershey and community To the children she has been, in a great many cases, more than a mother.

We know that the community will feel the loss of her faith ful services. As it is, Miss High leaves us with the satisfaction of a work well-done, and we wish her heaps and heaps of joy and happiness in her new duties—and may she live long and prosper.

I wandered today through the park, Mag-gie, On my way from the Hershey store. The band shell was silent and still, Maggie, Where symphony and jazz were before, The ponies were down in the zoo, Maggie, A nibbling at wisps of choice hay, No kiddies were waiting to ride, Maggie • When I strolled past the bandshell today Then I strolled to the park swimming pool, Maggie, - Where in fancy I took a'high dive, ,1 broke my poor neck when I struck: Mag-gie, And was lucky to come out alive. The dance hall was minus the crowd, Mag-gie, That glides to the blaring of jazz , And the carrousel had not one, Maggie Of the tunes that in summer it has. The ball field was free of all threats, Mag-gie, At the lives of the umpires of Swat, No penny pinchers peered through the hedge, Maggie, That borders the athletic lot. The park roller coaster was parked, Mag-gie, And no shriekings and shouts rent the air As some first-timer hit the first dip, Mag-gie, And gave voice to a reverent prayer. Yes, the park cafe was closed, Maggie, As was also the souvenir booth, And the soft drink stand was on strike, Maggie, Oh I swear I am telling the truth When I say that the park isn't, what, Maggie, It was in the sweet summertime, Though I think you have gathered as much, Maggie, If you've cast eyes upon this sad rhyme. Chorus They say on Decoration Day, Maggie, The park will be under full swing. Then we'll seek all the pleasures therein, Maggie,— Until then, this sad song we must sing. Dee Jay, says the Willage Wit, I can always tell when you have had an extra hard wrestle with the Muse. You come to the office on such a morning with your hair sprawled in all directions over your vaulted dome, your face isn't washed, your necktie is crooked, and you have a wild other-worldliness in your eye that makes the spookiest feeling play tag with itself up and down my spinal column. There's one we missed. We should have called our allowance of space the Spinal Column. Oh well, we are big hearted. (Business of patting self on back.) There's an idea for the Hershey High School to put into use. The Spinal Column. It looks good, doesn't it? Inquires the Man with the Cedar Chest, "Is the Smokestack burning soft coal? It seems to be giving off and awful lot of smoke. Some of that smoke must get in my eyes or something, because a lot of your stuff I can't see through at all." A Modern John Smith Just lately we made a remark about a modern Sir Walter Raleigh and how he saved the day for the tightly skirted lady who was trying to step up into the coach of a passenger tram. Well, ladies and gents, meet the modern John Smith. Our coal was about all, as they are fond of saying in this section , and we ordered a small quantity of Pocahontas nut. We presume by now you have guessed who was the Modern John Smith. None other than Ours Truly. But to our story. , When the Missus perceived what for coal 'we had purchased and what for fire it made, she was wroth and quoth, "This stuff all melteth in together and formeth one solid mass. What can a person do with such a coal? Don't you ever buy any more Pocahontas nut! I don 't believe I can ever burn this stuff." Here we threw ourselves into the breach with a remark which , if we do say so our-selves, was about as effective a bit of come-back as we have pulled off in a turtle's age : "When you get medicine from the doctor you always read the directions, don't you?" we asked. "What has that to do with coal that all runs together into a solid mass," inquired the Missus. "Read your directions on the coal bill. It says 1080 pounds Poc. nut. If Poc. doesn't spell poke, then I never taught school three years. What you have to do is poke the stuff and then it gives a wonder-ful fire ," so quoth John Smith in re. Poca-hontas nut. Full many a (lower , as Gray said, la torn to blush unseen and waste Its sweetness on the desert air. Yes and beautiful flowers oflimes appear where one would least expect to find them. li p Where We Come From we were favored with the services of a farm hand whom we shall call Alf. Dibble. I hat isn 't his name, but that 's what we shall call him here . Alf was salt of the earth , a patient trudging soul who put up with a grea t deal from we boys. In Ye Sniolte-stnekers younger and sprightlier days he used to fiddle for square dances. He used also to call on "That Certain I "arty " more than once a week. Alf's room was right beside the then embryonic smokestacker. Little did Alf or the embryonic smoke-stacker then think what fame ? and fortune ? awaited th e latter. It so happened that we took dellgll| In making noises to waken Alf when wo came in at ''Three .O'clock in the Mornin g." This lie patiently Ixire as part of the cross which every man must bear. One evening Alf , the brother , and the embryonic smokestacker were doing the milkin g. "Say, Alf", we asked , thinkin g to have a little fun at Alf's excuse, "do you know how that big bull over there Is different than we are. "No, 1 don't." "Why that bull always sta ys in nights and we never stay in nights." "That so?" wild Al l Innocently. "Do ye know how that there hull is like you, Deeja y?" .> • "I low's that?" "Because he's alwa ys a bawlla ' and don 't know enough to keep his mouth shut , and when ho o|hmih hlu mouth lie don 't say anythin g." Says the Man with the Wooden l^)g, necessity Is the mother of Invention, I can make a pretty good guess as to how the cigarette came to bo Invented . Some fellow Invented the cigarette to quiet his nerves while his wife was getting herself ready for a railroad tri p which they were going to take on u train duo in ton minutes. Say, said the busy executive to his assistant , all our phones are out of order. Call the o|H>rator , will you, and have her send a man to repair them at once. I The Smokestack !

He was born in the Wild Lands, self-raised and self-taught, for a rattle.- snake bite had deprived him of-his mother while he was still of tender age. He sought protection in a herd, but its leader, the ferocious Killer, drove him out. He had no place in his herd for an outcast—a weakling—a baby stallion. But there came a day when this untamed weakling was a magnificent, powerful creature who defeated the Killer, who had never before known anything but victory! Rex, who made his film debut in 1924 in "The King of Wild Horses," is an even more magnetic magnificent creature in "Black Cyclone," a story which shows his wooing of Lady, a "beautiful dappled grey mare, and his great love for and protection of her ; and of his friendship for a man who saved his life from the treacherous quick-sands. But three people are required to tell the story of the humans in "Black Cyclone," and they are Guinn Williams, Kathleen Collins and Christian J. Frank. Among the animals are Rex and Lady; the Killer, one of the craziest-spotted horses ever seen, and the Pest, a burro that is quite the funniest little animal in existence. For atmosphere are hundreds of wild horses, a wolf pack, a honey-hunting bear, and a man-hunting cougar. Thousands of acres of Nevada's beautiful plains and hills supply the background for Black Cyclone," which is hailed as the year's greatest sensation—both as to dramatic value and photography. Its story, as in the case of "The King of Wild Horses," is by Hal Roach, and the direction by Fred Wood Jackman. Upon its opening in New York City, "Black Cyclone" received exceptional and unanimous praise from the Metropoli-tan critics, proclaiming it the outstanding production of recent years. The New York Times, one of the world's most con-servative and intellectual newspapers, not only was lavish with praise in its review, but took occasion on the following Sunday to gain editorially comment at length on the picture's merit. Charlie Chaplin in "A Dog s Life" Friday and Saturday Charlie Chaplin, gloom chaser extra-ordinary, will pay a visit to the Hershey Central Theatre on Friday evening, March 12th, at 7.30 o'clock, and Saturday eve-ning, March 13th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock, in a Pathe-picture, "A Dog's Life." In this classic comedy, Charlie has the same troubles that befell Old Mother Hubbard, for Charlie finds no bones in the cupboard for his dog or himself. Charlie is a wandering son who tramps the streets looking for a 'help wanted" sign. Things are looking up when he finds the sign in front of a brewery and Charlie takes his place in the line of rough laborers. Things start brewing for Charlie. Every time he is all set to get the ticket that will entitle him to punch the time clock and land on the payroll, Charlie is elbowed out of the way and he finally seeks solace in a lively dance hall , along with his only friend , a mongrel pup. As a dance-hall lizzard , Charlie is a scream. The usual dancin g space allotted to a couple isn't enough for Charlie and a pretty entertainer who sees in him better stuff than that of which his garments are made. Charlie's feet are always in some-body 's way. If his baggy trousers had been lined with bills, Charlie could have overcome that handicap, but he couldn't buy drinks so he was given the bouncer's exit. He's a tragic figure indeed—and the poor mut that trails him everywhere adds to his utter forlornness. He's out of step with all mankind—hungry, friendless, homeless. But Charlies turns hardships in to laughs. The deeper he gets into trouble, the more he adds to the audience's joy.

The score at halves was 16V14. Hershey experienced a great difficulty in locating the range of the basket and due to this handicap they were unable to exhibit their usual teamwork and high scoring, which the Hershey rooters were naturally looking for. The Hershey team came back in the second half with a great determination to retain their clean slate, and with this and Elizabethtown's fast pace gradually weak-ening, the "chocolatown"-outscored their opponents by 14 points during the second period. It seemed as though the jinx was cast off of Hershey and thrown on Eliza-bethtown boys the second half. How-ever, both teams were going "neck and neck" throughout the entire game, and neither willing to take the short end of the c¦ ontest. "Dick" Sponagle, the dependable center on the Hershey team, has nearly recovered from his ankle injury , but was compelled to stay out of the Elizabethtown game. He will probably be in the line-up for the week-end games, with Manheim and Carlisle. This will strengthen the team and it should put them back in their old form. If they come out at the end of the season with a record of no defeats, there will be a probability of them qualifying for Perm-State Tournament, in which the Central Pennsylvania League champions will compete. John Elder Men's Bible Class Plan Activities The John Elder Men's Bible Class held their monthly meeting on Monday evening at the "Manse", when the following officers were elected: President, John McKinne; vice-president, J. Addison Kyle; secretary, Harry Fasnacht; assistant secretary, Theo-dore Boyer; treasurer, Morris H. Wenger ; teacher, Rev. R. H. Taylor; assistant teacher, Prof. Angell Matthewson.

Addison Kyle and himself to consider plans for increasing class membership, attendance and mutual helpfulness. He also will appoint the regular committees in a few days. Other matters of business were disposed of. Next meeting will be held April 12, with Harry Fasnacht, 102 East Derry Road. Refreshments were served to John Mc- Kinne, J. Addison Kyle, Prof. Angell Matthewson, Irvin H. Slesser, George H-. Dressier, Harry Fasnacht, A. Bowman Snavely, Morris H. Wenger, Ivan L. Mease, S.JJohn Boyer and Rev. R. H. Taylor. Ivan L. Mease left Tuesday for Williams-port to attend the annual Mid-Year Conference of the Staff and Educational committee of the Pennsylvania State Sabbath School Association and County Presiden ts and Secretaries. Mr. Mease will speak at the Wednesday morning session on "Co-operative Effort in Religious Education. Robert E. Ward , of Harrisburg, General Secretary of the Dauphin County Sabbath School Association, and Rev. Carl C. Rasmusser, also of Harrisburg, and Director of Christ-ian Education of the State Association, are exij ected to accompany Mr. Mease. To Give Easter Cantata The members of the United Brethren Church Choir are all ur ged to be present on Frida y night , March 12, when they will begin rehearsal for the "Fountain of Youth" to be presented Easter, Sunday evening. TO HOLD A BREEVAICVHAL AT SAND Rev. Lettick , of Annville, "the Bulldog Evangelist," will conduct a two week's evangelistic service at the Sand Beach Union Church, beginning Monday eve-ning, March 15th. You are cordially invited to attend these services. Hershey Girl Reserves Planning for 1928 Conference A very practical and worth-while con-ference was held over the week-end at the Harrisburg Y. W. C. A. for all High School Girl Reserves from Hanover, Harrisburg, Hershey, Lewistown, Lancaster and Car-lisle. About 100 girls were in attendance. Our local Girl Reserves were represented by Grace Lloyd, president; Helen Schmidt, treasurer ; Elda Hutchinson, Mildred Runkle, Alma Gerlach, Ruth and Mary Taylor, Louise Shay, Lois Gilman, and Misses Dorothy Hill and Rachel Baker, advisers. The theme of the conference was "But— This is the Road for Me," and the subjects for the toasts all dealt with the question of road building, upkeep, etc. "Life is Made Up of Roads," "The Road the Girl Re-serves Chooses", "The Challenge to Climb" and "The Call of the Flute" which was followed by a most excellent talk by Miss Margaret Moss, Assistant Director of the Children's Bureau, State of Pennsyl-vania, who took as her topic, "The Girl Who Dares." Do we dare blaze the trail of being friendly with people of other lands? De we dare smile at them and let them know we would like to be friends? Do we dare make history in this way even as the 49'ers blazed the trail and made friends? Al. Thompson, of the East End Trust Company, gave a very splendid talk on "Detours", which are so often trying to the patience and temper of those who are obliged to use them, but always ahead, if we keep out of the ruts arid gutters, is the main road which is the objective toward which the detour sign posts point. Program planning also had a part in the conference discussion and on Tuesday night the local Tri-Y Club brought out many things they had learned while there. The Sunday morning church service and the afternoon ceremonial "Candles That Burn" furnished more of the inspiration of the conference, and all felt at the close it had "been good to be there." Carlisle has invited the conference for next year and the local club hopes that they may extend the invitation for the following year or 1928. Will the com-munity help them to realize their ambi-tion ? It will make for a.better communi-ty— for better womanhood—better homes. Help them to realize the theme of the con-ference, "But—This is the Road for Me." Hershey High to Play Manheim and Carlisle On Friday night of this week the Her-shey boys' basketball teams will meet the Manheim High varsity and reserves. The game will be played at the Men's Club. On Saturday Hershey will bump up against the Carlisle High team on the Men's Club floor. Hershey defeated the aggregation earlier in the season, but since they strengthened considerably. They have recently held both Steelton and Tech to low scores, so a snappy game can be looked for. Elizabethtown Junior Varsity will be on hand to offer the Her-shey understudies their opposition for the preliminary attraction. E. M. Hershey Buys Rosedale Farm E. M. Hershey last week purchased the "Rosedale" farm, located between the Jednota Printery and the Odd Fellows Home Site, west of Middletown. The price paid was $45,000. This farm, comprising 150 acres, was one of the prize tracts of the late Col. James Young and has been in, the Young family for fift y-nine years. Mr. Hershey, it is said, will take possession of the farm about the first of April of the present year and it is understood that a large portion of the ground along the State highway will be laid out in building lots. BIRTHDAY SURPRISE AJvery pleasant birthday surprise party was held on Saturday evening at the home of Calvin Wagner, at Palmdale, in honor of Miss Caroline Shank. Those present were Miss Elsie Massirner, Miss Katherine Baum, Miss Katherine Boyer, Miss Elsie Brehm, Miss Caroline Shank, Calvin Wagner, Earl Nye, Robert Hetrick , Mel-vin Saddler, Maurice Baer , Wm.

Wler, Mr. and Mrs. Harr y Wagner, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Wagner , Mr. and Mrs. Harr y Umdis, Susan Landis, Ada and Vernan Wagner and Mr. and Mrs. Elias Wagner. Hershey to Meet Hummelstown in a Debate Monday Evening The affirmative debating team of the Hershey High School, who won their first debate staged at Mechanicsburg, will have another opportunity to display their oratorical ability when they will meet the negative team from the . Hummelstown High School. The scheduled time for the clash, is Monday evening, at 8.00 o'clock sharp, in the Hershey High School audi-torium. The teams, respectively, will try to prove that our government should or should not control and operate the coal mines. After feeling and seeing the results of the recent coal miners' strike, there is a considerable source of disfavor with the present system of operation. Circulating rumors have it that our friends from the ¦ neighboring town are coming to Hershey with no other desire than ^ to take the measure of their "old time" rivals. The students representing the Hershey team are strenuously prepar-ing their arguments, and if they repeat the fine quality of presentation, which they demonstrated at Mechanicsburg, it is an assured fact that the Hummelstown quartet will meet with plenty of opposition in gaining the favorable vote. The last debate staged in Hershey at-tracted a large audience. The auditorium is capable of holding a very large number of people, and the school authorities cor-dially invite the public to come out to hear these spirited debates. Admission is-free. The team members who will compete for the two teams are as follows: Hershey— Beulah Shaffner, Mary Hummer, Harold Sours and alternate, LeRoy Shank; Hum-melstown— Lois Strickler, Robert Nissley, Herman Mariano and Virginia Gingrich, alternate. Mr. John E. Snyder will be the chairman. The selected judg es are : Prof. John E. Sherk, of Paxtang; Rev. C. G. Leather-man, of Hummelstown, and Rev. Paul M. Kinports, of Hershey. D. S. Graeff Busy Selling Chicks and Onion Sets D. S. Graeff is a busy man these days, for he has more than 400 downy-covered baby chicks galivanting around for a week in the display window-of the Harrisburg Seed Company, South Market Square. These represent just a small percentage of the chicks, of the Rhode Island Red strain, that have been shipped to Mr. Graeff's headquarters from the famous Canfield hatchery. The latest type of brooder is sheltering the chicks and keeps them warm and comfy. Another display which is attracting considerable attention, and which is Mr. Graeff's masterpiece, is the large quantity of red and yellow onion sets. Incidentally, these planting onions are being offered at twentjy and twenty-five cents a quart compared with thirty and thirty-five cents a year ago, which, says Mr. Graeff , will give everybody the opportunity of eating lots of onions this year. An onion a day brings health, wealth and happiness, says Mr. Graeff. Mr. Graeff is mailing a beautiful seed catalog, and he will be only to glad to mail a copy to all those who are interested in gardening. Hershey Firemen Hold Meeting The Hershey Volunteer Fire Company held th eir regular monthly meeting on Tuesda y evening. Those present were: Herman Seavers, Irvin Uhler, Clarence Ullri ch, A. W. Flowers, Ira Gibble, Clyde Ebersole, Roy Johnson, John Gordon , Wm. Freymeyer , Chas. Palmer, Wm. C. Brincr and John P. Conrad. President Uhrich reported that the company has responded to a call at Harry Kaylor 's restaurant , Derry Road, and pumped water out of the cellar. After rendering this service, Mr. Kaylor pre-sented $20.00 to the Company. No ro|x>rt was presented from the com-mittee which is soliciting funds for the new chemical apparatus, owing to the incle-ment weather and sickness. II . M. Faust , a representative of the Buffalo Fire Appliance Cor|x>ration , was present and.spoke in behalf of the chemical engine manufactured by this company.
