              Baseball Season Starts
Saturday Afternoon
at Hersh ey Park
A baseball, meeting was held at the
Hershey Men's Club on Monday evening,
and plans were made to organize a baseball
team.
A number of ball players were in at-tendance
and from all indications Hershey
will be represented by a strong team.
Practice will be. held on the Hershey
Park field on Saturday afternoon and an
invitation is extended to all ball players to
come out. The management hopes that
there will be a large number of aspirants
come out on Saturday.
There was some discussion of endeavor-ing
to form an inter-town league consisting
of Middletown, Hummelstown, Palmyra
and Hershey. There is no doubt but that
a league such as this would be a hum-dinger
and would draw the crowds. How-ever,
if this should come to pass, and there
is no reason why it shouldn't, imported
players should not be allowed to play.
There is plenty of good material m all of
these towns—all that is needed is the op-portunity
and encouragement.
The statement was made by a by-stander
that a league such as this would end up in a
fight. The rivalry between the teams
would be keen, but this would not mean
that pop bottles and fists would be flying.
The more spirited the game, the greater
the crowds—and to enjoy a game of base-ball
one needs more than a baker's dozen
sitting on the bleachers.
As it is, here's hoping that a league will
be formed and that we will have a success-ful
baseball season for 1926.
Hershey Girl Shoots
at One Of the New
Lighting Standa rds
The Hershey Chocolate Company has
gone to considerable expense in erecting a
large number of ornamental lighting
standards on Cocoa, Java, Granada and
Caracas avenues, affording these avenues a
metropolitan aspect and giving forth a
light that makes these avenues almost as
bright as day.
It seems, however, that there are some
people who never fully appreciate that
which is being done for them—for already
have one of these beautiful lighting stand-ards
suffered through the lack of apprecia-tion
upon the part of one of our younger
folks. _
Last week a small boy was on Cocoa
avenue and he had a small rifle. He was
shooting at things—anything and every-thing.
Along came a young girl, about 13
years of age, and she asked for the loan of
the rifle.
The girl then aimed at one of the lighting
standards and pulled the trigger. Her aim
was good, for there was a crash, resulting
in the breaking of the globe.
Seeing the damage that she had done,
and realizing that she might be in for a
spanking if it was known that she did it,
she handed the rifle to the small boy and
beat a quick retreat toward Areba street.
It is known who the girl is, for the act
was witnessed by one of our prominent
citizens.

"Mother 's Day"
There's no one like a mother.
To comfort all your pain;
And share your joy and sorrow,
Thru sunshine and thru rain.
'Tis she who well can banish,
The things that oft annoy,
And thus make life worth living,
For both her girl and boy.
There's no one like a mother,
To keep you pure and clean;
And guard your speech and action,
From all that 's vile and mean.
No one who quite can reason,
Or even understand;
Our very thoughts and notions,
Like mother, dear and grand.
There's no one like a mother,
To fill your life with joy ;
Whose love no one can fathom,
Nor can ever destroy.
'Tis she who knows your troubles,
For which she does prepare;
And watches o'er you always,
With tender, loving care.
But soon the time is coming,
When mother passes on;
And life will seem more empty,
When she at length has gone.
So while you have your mother,
Rejoice and then be gay;
And try to make her happy,
Upon this Mother's Day.

Hershey Park Merr y-Go
Round Looks Like New
The kiddies are going to be given a joyful
surprise at Hershey Park this summer. A
number of new attractions are being added,
but the one that will make the biggest hit
to the kiddies is the rejuvenation of the
merry-go-round. New tails and new
bridles are being placed on the animals,
and they are being dolled up so wonderfully
that they lookjust as if they had just come
from Santa Claus' treasure house. The
building is also being painted, and it looks
fine and dandy.
But better still , a new Wurlitzer organ
has been purchased and with it there is 40
new selections—oh, boy, ain 't life grand!
Russcl Zentmcyer, who has been direct-ing
manager of the Hershey Park Merry-
Go-Round for quite some time; gets all
excited when lie tells about the wonders of
his hobby horses, zebras, camels, etc. He
has a mind to suggest to Park Manager
John SoHcnbcrger to allow his assistants,
who are Marlyn Herbst , Harry Dow-hower
and Ross Strine. as well as himself ,
the privilege of wearing uniforms, with
brass buttons and everything.

to Atlantic City where they joined the gay
crowd. On Sunday they took in the
sights at Philadelphia , returning in the
evening. Mr. Sholley was at the wheel, in
his Nash sedan—and he sure did spin a
wheel.
Rare
"Oh what is so rare as a day in June?"
So queried that famous American poet,
James Russell Lowell longer ago than wo
care to remember.
James, when in the Lil)«rty Cross Roads
rapid fire lunch did you ever order a sirloin ,
well done? When It whs served, wasn't it
aa rare or rarer than n day in June?
Now let me tell you, mister, It certainly
is hard lines when a fellow gets up in the
wee sma' hours of the morning to write a
column and have neither Ideas, clippings,
or 1!XM Joke lxx>k.
Then, as you might say, Is the zero hour.
The western newspaper has ceased ar-riving,
(lending a remittance for another
year's subscription. Under the' above
stated conditions alxiu t the only thing left
to do is string the words end to end down
the column and see If they won't reach that
way. Ach, veil, vo see vonco.
enough, but it didn 't cut any ice with the
authorities. But as we said, we don't
mind helping our old Alma Mater out to
the extent of one dollar and they can mail
us the plate or not just as they have fits.
We mean to say "Just as they see fit."
Funny how dopey a fellow is when he gets
up too early in the morning, isn't it?
Say, this Alma Mater business is O. K.
as a space filler. So's your old man. We're
going to try to write a little more about
our college".
We are ashamed to say it, but since that
eventful day when the authorities in-formed
us that they could teach us no
more and handed us a roll of paper tied
with a yaller ribbon we have never re-visited
the scenes of our training for a
Profession we were not destined to follow,
n other words we haven't revisited the
school since the portals of learning closed
behind us that eventful day in June, 1921.
When we waved the town goodbye, it was
in our heart that some day we would come
back and sit on the platform during the
chapel exercises and , after the student
body had sung a few rousing songs in our
honor and the orchestra hacf played "Poet
and Pheasant," we mean "Phoet and
Peasant," we would, following our intro-duction
by the President, point out to the
wide-mouthed and open-eared student
body how we had made good in the world
and how, emulating our illustrious ex-ample,
they also might hope some day to
have their names emblazoned on the
scroll of fame. Quite some sentence, that
last one!
(This column writing is discouraging
business for an ambitious young man,
though. Such a fellow likes to begin at the
bottom and work up, but in this case a
fellow must begin at the top and work
down. You don't blame us for getting
discouraged and copying out of western
newspa|>cra, do you?)
Motormanl Stop the car. We're off
the track.
Skipiier. as you skip this stuff , it doesn't
take you long to figure out whv we have
never yet' revisited our Alma Mater. We
do not as yet have our name in raised
letters on the rocks of eternity. And how
can we tell the wide-mouthed and open-eared
student body at the old school how to
succeed when we are a flat tire ourselves?
See now why wc "stay shut" of the place?
But we hear you say, "Dee Jay, you
don 't need to be a success in order to show
other people how to get on. No one la
quite so good at telling mothers how to
raise children as old maids are."
Which gives us comfort. And if we
never get our name in raised letters on the
rocks of eternity, some day when we are old
and gray and bnid we are going back to the
old Alma Mater and tell the wide-mouthed
and open-eared student body how and
why wo failed.
Attaboy, Mlnatrolat
We take this opportunity of congratu-lating
the Hershey Minstrels on the local
stuff they pulled nt their show last week.
They certainly made us sec ourselves as
others see us. A slap In the face is worth
two on the back.
F.blo
Twice upon a time there were two girls.
One of them never said "That'll lie Just
fine." The other one never said, "That'll
be perfectly all right." (Both were deaf
and dumb.)
A Pipe and Pipe Dream Broken
There are no two ways about it,
I must pack my grip and go
To the half-remembered yesterdays,
The days of long ago.
I am sated with the city's
Moods of hate and sin and greed.
Where repose is a forgotten word
And everything is speed.
I will journey to my mountains
Where my boyhood days were spent,
I will snuggle down among the hills
And there I'll be content.
A small cottage and a red barn,
Both of them I'll claim for mine,—
The small cottage for the wife and me,
The red barn for the kinc.
A right happy life I'll live there,
Far away from traffic jams,
In the morning I will cat my fill
Of buckwheat cakes and hams.
And the day I'll spend in toiling
At a task that I adore :
I will till again my native fields
I've tilled so oft before.
As I'm aitting here—just dreaming—
My tired muscles all relax,
And my dreams are interrupted when
My best pipe falls and cracks!
And there 's one thing holds me back from
The bright land of milk and honey
I've just been dreaming dreams about;
I haven 't any money!
Soma DayAWra Going Back
Mere More us wo have a bid to the
Alumni Banquet of the Mansfield Stale
Normal School on May 29, 1926. One
dollar n plate. We don't mind paying a
dollar for the plnte just to help out our old
Alma Mater, but we understand there wns
a fellow nearly got arrested last year for
taking his plate out of a banquet hall with
him. Ills argument that he had payed
one doltaar plate sounded reasonable
The Smokestack
ShVee/ ay Qee \
New American Star
Blazes in The
Operatic Firmament
To state that the concert to be given at
the Hershey Park Convention Hall on
Sunday afternoon, May 30th, by Miss
Marion Talley will be one of the out-standing
musical events of the season, is to
put it mildly.
Some concerts-have an appeal only to
those of musical experience; some artists of
song draw to their performances only the
few who are artists themselves. It is not
so with Miss Talley. She is a sweet singer
for the multitude; as true artists always
are. The poet, the author, the painter, to
be sublime, must be within the reach of all.
It so happens that the "American Night-ingale,"
who arose to fame within the last
few months, has not been over-exploited.
She is what she is said to be—the Jenny
Lind of the Twentieth Century. The
musical sensation of the era.
Miss Talley, a 19-year-old girl, a product
of the State of Kansas, stands pre-eminent
among the inspiring singers of the day.
And she inspires men and women, thrills
their senses of the beautiful in that best of
all ways; her voice plays upon the chords of
impulse that respond to sweetness.
Come out of the West a few months ago,
after the careful preparation of training, at
her debut at the Metropolitan Opera
House, she created a sensation rarely
equaled in the past.
Rendering concerts, this one to be given
at Hershey on May 30th will be the fifth
that she has given. Some day not far in
the future, when the name of Marion
Talley shall be blazoned bright, high
among those of the great artists, it will be
well for us to recall that we were among the
very first to hear her.
It is probable that the wonderful voice of
Marion Talley, the romance of her sudden
rise, her extreme youth, and the belief that
she is the greatest living singer, will crowd
the Hershey Convention Hall.
When one realizes that in music, Her-shey
is being offered the best in the world,
that people must be turned away at that
time wilt occasion no surprise.
Fay Lanphier in
"The American
Venus" on Tuesday
One of the most widely publicized and
eagerly awaited screen productions will be
unfolded to local moviegoers on Tuesday
evening, May 11th, at 7.30 o'clock, when
Paramount's magnificent beauty-comedy-spectacle,
"The American Venus", will be
shown at the Hershey Central Theatre.
This is the photoplay that has the recent
Atlantic City bathing beauty pageant for
its colorful background, and which in-cludes
in the personnel of its cast Fay
Lanphier, who was crowned "Miss Ameri-ca",
several of the leading national beauty
contestants, twenty of the loveliest manne-quins
in America, to say nothing of a
brilliant group of film and stage favorites,
headed by Esther Ralston , Lawrence
Gray and Ford Sterling.
This wondrous array of youth , beauty
and talent is further enhanced by the
most lavish and luxurious costumes, sets
and scenic effects ever seen on the screen.
The high point of spectacular display in the
picture is the sumptuous fashion show and
the artistic tableaux, which were filmed in
color.
The theme of the story is a beauty con-test
staged by a group of artists who are
desirous of finding a modern America n
Venus. The personalities who become
involved in the tangled skein of the plot
are a small town girl , who enters the con-test
to help boost her father 's complexion
creams, her press agent-lover, and a rival
beauty cream manufacturer and his son
who attempt to defeat her ambitions for
selfish business reasons.
The picture sets a swift pace from the
moment it begins to unreel and maintains
the intcriMit and suspense right up to the
final stirring finish. There is comedy in
abundance, heart appeal galore and thrills
aplenty. In fact , the hair-raising motor-cycle
race and dizzy aerial stunts are
guaranteed to give the moat blase film fan
a few extra palpitations of the heart.
Frank '1 utile has deftly directed the
production which Is based on Townsend
Martin 's original story.

Hershey Volunteer Fire
Co. Holds Meeting
The regular monthly meeting of the

An invitation from Chemical No. 1 Fire
Co., of Hummelstown, to attend the
housing of their new Hahn combination
fire truck on May 29, was read and ac-cepted.
There will be a street Fair and
Dance, and a general good time is in store
fonall members who attend.
The membership of the Company has
been slightly depleted on the resignation
of several of its members who have left
town.
The representative of the Buffalo fire
apparatus company, spoke with President
Uhrich during the past few weeks and
seems anxious to land our order for his
company.
The finance committee, handling the
collecting of funds for our new Chemical
truck are now working overtime, so be
prepared to receive them kindly, contribut-ing
as your means will allow.
The pool table will be recovered during
the fall season, as fund for this purpose
seem rather inadequate at this time to
attempt such an expense, and with the
summer season, near at hand , and the pool
table about to obtain a much needed rest,
it was deemed advisable to await cooler
weather before putting it in A-l condition
for the sharks.
Chief H. S. Boyer reported , that the
Company responded to three alarms during
the past month, chimney fires at Brook-side
and Meadow Brook Farms, and a
field fire at the Rudy Farm. These fires
could have been handled in a more satis-factory
manner with a Chemical truck , as
it was useless to drive the Pumper to these
destinations, on account of the poor water
supply to be found there, it only speaks
another good word for the need of a new
Chemical truck for Hershey and vicinity.
Operator Likes to
Hear the Fire Siren
On Thursday morning, alx>ut six o'clock,
there was a slight fire at the Meadow
Brook Farm and the fire siren was sounded.
Chief Boyer and his able assistants were
on their way to the fire in about skeentcen
minutes.
And the (ire siren continued sending
forth its piercing blasts!
Chief Boyer and his able assistants upon
arriving at the fire soon had the (lames ex-tinguished
.
And the fire siren continued sending
forth its piercing blasts!
Chief Boyer and his able assistants had
done their duty and were making their
return.
And the fire siren continued sending
forth lis piercing blasts!
Chief Boyer sent word to the telephone
operator that the fire was out.
And then the piercing blasts of the fire
siren died out.
Oh, what a relief!
Every time there is a (ire the operator
sounds the siren as if she liked to hear its
piercing blasts. Five minutes ia about
two minutes too long to lie hearing the
bloats of the (ire siren , but ten minutes of
hearing it ia enough to set one's teeth on
edge.

The Hershey Minstrels played to a
.capacity house on Wednesday evening,

an enjoyable evening's entertain-ment.
.
The end men were: William Shaub,
Clinton Hoffer , Edward Shea and Laurence
Edwards, and they nulled off their jokes in

manner that the show was pre-sented.
The high lights of the solo numbers
were "Remember" by Alex Magrini, "That
Sleepy Time Girl" by Clinton Hoffer, and
"The Serenade" by Henry Schaeffer. The
chorus numbers snared equal honors with
the soloists, and the vocal harmony and
blending of voices pleased.
The Lebanon Quartet, consisting of
Messrs. Barry, Richards, Ruf and Arnold,
delighted the audience with their selection
"A Dark Town Rehearsal", which was
enthusiastically received.
The program was as follows: "Drinking
Song", by the chorus; "Just Around the

Anita Stewart in
South Sea Island
Story Thursd ay
"Never the Twain Shall Meet," Peter B.
Kyne's enchanting story of the South Sea
Islands, will be shown at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Thursday evening.
May 13th, at 7.30 o'clock.
This picture, a Cosmopolitan produc-tion,
directed by the celebrated French
director, Maurice Tourneur, was pictur-ized
in Tahiti and Moorea, two of the
famous islands of the South Sea group.
The cast includes such prominent players
as Anita Stewart, Bert Lytell, Huntly
Gordon, Justine Johnstone, George Sieg-mann,
Lionel Belmore, William Norris,
Emily Fitzroy, Princess Marie de Bourbon
and Florence Turner.
Perhaps never in the history of moving
pictures has there been a story filmed
against such gorgeously beautiful back-grounds
as those which appear in "Never
the Twain Shall Meet." Filled with all
the magic and romance associated with
life in the South Seas, this photoplay
sounds an entirely new note in the litera-ture
and drama of motion pictures.
In the role ^rf Tamea, the halfcaste
Island princes^, Anita Stewart appears in a
characterization thoroughly suited to her
enchanting personality—a portrayal which
calls for many phases of dramatic intensity,
varied with comedy situations. Bert
Lytell plays opposite Miss Stewart in the
role of Dan Pritchard .
The production is lavish in the extreme,
and as the picture develops on the screen
there ia a breadth and freedom, a tropical
magic and a pictorial panorama of loveli-ness
never before visualized with a moving
picture camera. In addition to a wealth
of scenic beauty there is an equal beauty
in the exotic interior setting, designed by
the masterfu l hand of Joseph Urban.
