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.

Don t Miss Seeing
"Rex", The Wild Horse
in "Black Cyclone"
Black Cyclone, the Hal Roach feature
which will be shown at the Hershey Cen-tral
Theatre on Friday evening, March 12,
at 7.30 o'clock, and Saturday evening,
March 13, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock, is the
story of Rex, a wild horse—a flashin g black
of great power—an ebony streak in the
sunlight. 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.

Hershey High
School Bumps
Elizabethtown 41-25
Hershey High School's undefeated
basketball team, who have created quite a
talk for themselves among local and sur-rounding
sport enthusiasts, came very
close to losing their coveted record on
Friday night at Elizabethtown, when they
had to force themselves to the limit in order
to win 41-25,
Elizabethtown's unexpected offensive
attack in the first period completely
dazzled the Hershey courtmen and after
battling through twenty minutes of strenu-ous
play, the Elizabethtown combination
held an advantage of two points on Her-shey.
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.

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.

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.
