Evangelist Stough to Speak - In Hershey Monday Night Rev. H. W. Stough , the well-known evangelist, will speak in the new Hershey High School auditorium on Monday evening, February 15th , at 7.30 o'clock. His subject will be "Revolution or Revival, Which?" Evangelist Stough, who closes a most successful campaign in the 7th Street Lutheran Church, Lebanon, on Sunday evening, has, through the intensive efforts of Rev. James B. MacClure, consented to deliver his message in Hershey. Rev. Stough is not a stranger in Hershey, for he has been in this vicinity upon numerous occasions. He is one of the foremost evangelists before the public today, and the Hershey High School auditorium will, there is little doubt, be taxed to its utmost capacity by those eager to hear him. As an additional feature on Monday evening Rev. and Mrs. C. E. Thompson, who are conducting evangelistic services in the local U. B. Church, will have charge of the song service. They will also sing several selections, accompanied on the harp by Mrs. Thompson , who is a talented harpist. This is a rare privilege, and the people of Hershey and vicinity are to be congratulated at the opportunity thus afforded. The doors will be opened at 6.45 p. m. Come early, in order to get a seat. There will be a choir to lead the singing, directed by Rev. C. E. Thompson. All choir members are urged to be present on Monday eve-ning in order to participate. Old familiar Gospel hymns will be sung. "The Midnight Express" Is a Story of Action and Interest When Nellie the Beautiful Cloak Model ( Elaine Hammerstein in the stellar role was made into a moving picture and re-leased under its original title there were many people who said that it would not take with the public because it was such an old story and because everyone had seen it at some time or other. Yet it was a great success. "The Midnight Express," which will be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Friday evening, February 12th, at 7.30 o'clock, and Saturday evening, February 13th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock, was in its day just as much a standby for stock companies and barnstormers as Nellie. In its original version it was full of the blood and thunder of old time stage technique. In the film version with its wider scope of action possibilities this trashy stage busi-ness has been eliminated. In this present state it is a story full of the action and thrills of railroad life and with the old love story just as strong and greatly enhanced by its modem setting. The outdoor parts also give much that the stage production could not even make an attempt to present. outdoes herself. William Haines is the handsome reason for Elaine's great worry as to whether he would ever be other than a coward or not. The rest of the cast among whom are George Nichols, Lloyd Whitlock, Edwin Booth Tilton, Pat Harmon, Ber-tram Grassby, Phyllis Haver and Roscoe Karns, is up to the fine performance given by the two principals. The story is well known to many old time theatre goers and it has not suffered in its main characteristics in being transferred to the screen . It is the tale of a young man, son of the railroad president living a life of dissipation and finally being thrown on his own resources by his irate father who learns that he has not been at his work for a week. The boy's consequent efforts for success under an assumed name on his father 's road and his meeting with the girl who spurs him into carrying on when he would have given up, form a fast moving tale of action which includes a fierce struggle with an escaped convict and a real train wreck. Road to Elizabet htown Badly in Need of Repairs The cost of maintenance of roads in Dauphin County townships has been mounting steadily until last year it was almost twice the 1919 figure, information furnished by the State Department of Highways reveals. The amount spent on maintenance of townships' roads in Dauphin County last year was $139,315.67, while the figure for this expenditure in 1919 was only $75,- 706.02. The Dauphin County Commis-sioners are of the opinion that township supervisors should spend money for the construction of good roads rather than than for the maintenance of inadequate dirt roads. Inasmuch as the township is spending so much money repairing roads, we wish that the Road Supervisors would get on the job and repair some particularly bad spots on the road between Hershey and Elizabethtown. We note that the Road Supervisors spend a lot of money to con-struct a good road , but af ter it is con-structed , let it go to pieces without any effort upon their part to repair it. The holes in the road between Hershey and Deodate haven't been touched since we can remember—and it would seem, from all indications, that there is every intention of allowing the holes to become ravines. Someone is certainly laying down on the job. High School Will Publish Monthly At the general assembly of the student body of the Hershey Junior -Senior High School last Frida y morning it was decided that a monthly school publication be published. The question was presented by Miss Helen Gilson, the English teacher , and was met with a unanimous approval. Material is being prepared to have the first publication ready for distribution in the latter part of February. The paper will consist of four mimeographed pages, and with this as a starter a better paper will probably develop in the following years. Ah yet a title has not l>een adopted for the publication. The editorial staff is as follows: Editor-in- chief , Ixiis Oilman, '27; assistants, Ixe Shertzcr , '27 and Ruth Liller. "27; art editor, Roy Dundore, '27 ; assistants, Parke Spancake.

The general plan of the book was made known to pupils and teachers and every one urged to get behind the move-ment so as to assure the success of the publication . The character of the book is necessarily determined by the funds avail-able. For this reason it is necessary to secure subscription pledges at $1.00 each which is to be the price ol a copy of the year book. The response was among the student body exceeded our expectations, when 388 subscriptions were passed in from an enrollment of 416. In order to make it possible for the patrons of the school to secure copies, the business mana-ger will circulate subscription blanks in the very near future. A feature of a meeting was the singing by the male members of the staff under the direction of Mr. Samuel N. Barrow as inter locutor and composer of the following song : The Senior Class is going to print an An-nu-al. The Senior Class is going to print an An-nu-al. They are going to print an An-nu-al and Make it as good as the Liberty Bell. Inky-dinky-An-nu-al. The Senior Class is going to sell the An-nu- al. The Senior Class is going to sell the An-nu- al. They are going to sell this An-nu-al. Its name wc don't know, so cannot tell. Inky--dinky-An-nu-al. Oh won't , Oh won't , Oh won't you buy an An-nu-al?

There are several more debates pending with neighboring towns. Asks Court to Permit Sale of Florin Plant John Hertzlcr, receiver of the Nlssloy- Swiss Chocolate, of Florin, presented a petition to the I-ancuster Court last week asking that he be allowed to sell the plant of the company to the Keystone Chocolate Company, of Hnrrlsburg, for $87,500 as this is the best offer he has received for the plant. The petition sets forth that the appraisement of the plant, contents, money on hand, etc., amounted to $119,889.71. The debts and obligations aggregate $408,719.42. The Keystone Chocolate Company has given n check for $8,750, which is ten per cent cent, of the purchase price In order to insure their takin g the plant If the Court so directs. The Court was naked to make a decree allowing tlie sale and Saturday, February 27 was fixed at the time (or a hearing. Chief Hal Boyer—— Tells of Chimney Fire Preventatives A number of chimney fires have occurred in this vicinity during the winter. All were extinguished by the Hershey Vol. Fire Co. before gaining any headway. Fire Chief Hal Boyer, who believes that some of the fires were caused by'accumula-tions of soot due to the burning of soft coal and other anthracite coal substitutes, tells of methods of cleaning chimneys. . "A common method is to sweep the chimney with a properly weighted bundle of rags—or a bush attached to a rope and worked from the top of the chimney." "Another method is the use of salt. The fire should be put in good condition with a substantial body of hot fuel. Well dried common salt is then scattered over the fuel. About a pound of salt is necessary for a furnace. For a cooking stove a few handfuls of salt is sufficient. The dampers would be kept open until the fumes have entirely disappea?ed. The soot is dis-integrated by the action of the salt fumes." "Scrap zinc thrown on a hot fire will also answer the purpose of a soot remover. Another method said to be effective is to fire blank cartridges from a revolver up the chimney." Householders are asked to use the ut-most precaution in order to reduce the number of fires.

School Boys Ruining Shade Trees C. i>. Schmidt, our local landscajx; gardener , states that boys are injuring the shade trees on West Chocolate Avenue, above Hess's garage. The injury to the trees is done by the toys while on the way to school, and in a great many instances, the injury has been such that the trees have dietf. This is an outra ge, and these boys should lie brought to task (or the damage that they have done, and continue to do. Mr. Schmidt states that if those persons living in that part of the town would interest themselves in this matter , the practice would soon l>e broken up. Let's protect our beautiful shade trees. They are a great asset to our town. Hershey Minstrels Practicin g For Show The Hershey minstrels arc practicing.

A few more people have been writing in for our expert opinion on matters of eti-quette. From Apple Hill. Mr. and Mrs. Awful Bore invited us to dinner and the theatre. As' they were such tiresome people, I thanked them and explained it was impossible to accept their kind invitation as the Mrs. had just broken out with the small pox. Entering the theatre we found ourselves seated next to Mr. and Mrs. Awful Bore. What should we say? Mr. Train. From Liberty Cross Roads.

(Continued on Page 4) Hershey Scouts to Observe 16th Anni-versar y of Scouting "The 16th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, celebrated this month, will bring to many men a memory of the days when Boy Scout work was a new thing," says John F. Snavely, secretary of the Hershey Men's Club. "It looked good in those days, but many of us wondered if its ideals were too high to "take" with the majority of people. "The organization has now'become a recognized power in character develop-ment of boys, and it is interesting to know that in all the great universities a large percentage of the students have been Boy Scouts. In many, the number of students that have had Scout training and experience is more than half. Another interesting fact is that so far as known of the 2,000,000 boys who in the past 16 years have been Boy Scouts, not one has ever been found a criminal or sent to prison. Judge Lindsey, who is perhaps the greatest juvenile court judge in the country, has declared that no Boy Scout has ever been brought into his court. "The local Scout Troops are under very efficient management, and the ideals of the work are high. The weeks spent in the Boy Scout camp are a part of a boy's experience that he will recall with pleasure and profit all his life. There is a touch with the wild, a spirit of exploration and adventure, and a consciousness of sharing in the romance of the fields and woods that adds a charm to memory which never fades. "But the Boy Scout program is not all camping. It is a great deal more than snake hunting and knot tying. Scouting covers all sorts of woodcraft and outdoor work, tracking, swimming, signalling, preserving and mounting skins, study of trees, birds, and flowers ; all sorts of hand-work, first aid, and life saving. Scouting has a twelve month program, and the Scout is busy in December as well as in July and August. "One of the other striking things con-nected with Scouting is the high sense of honor bred in the Boy Scout, together with a spirit of reverance and an ideal of service that is fundamentally sound. I have made it a point to visit the Boy Scouts in camp several times each year and spend a night or two there whenever possible. I have personally seen the great benefits derived from the Scout program. "I have known a troop of Boy Scouts to lie out on a hillside for hours at night talking about the magnitude and distance of the stars, the conversation naturally drifting into talking about the Great Creator of the universe. I have known the same thing to happen when talking about trees, as nature study leads naturally into thoughts of the Maker of it all. I have seen about the camp fires stunts performed by the boys that would amaze their parents or their teachers. The boys set free from conventions develop an originality and ability that no one dreamed of. 'Mama's pets' become intelligent and courageous leaders, and foolish and almost hopeless egotists develop both consideration and modesty. Parents sometimes are fearful about letting their sons go to the Scout camp. They need not be. The Scouts at camp are always under efficient leadership. Camp life has its regular and orderly routine. Beds must be made up and tents put in order daily. There is regular in-spection . There are hours for .recreation and hours for study. No profanity or vulgarity of any kind is allowed. Super-vision is constant, but it takes the form of leadership and is not recognized as super-vision. There are about one hundred active Boy Scouts in Hershey. There should be twice this number, and probably will be by the end of another year, as the number is constantly increasing." Eleven Young People Hear the Call at U. B. Church The evangelistic meetings now in pro-gress in the United Brethren Church are very interesting. The attendance is good and the spirit of the meetings is helpful to the upbuilding of the believer in the faith and a great opportunity for the unsaved to find the Lord Jesus. Local ministers, the Revs. R, H. Taylor, J. B. MacClure, P. M. Kinports and O. G. Romig have assisted the pastor in the preachin g of the Word and brought very helpfu l messages of truth unto the salva - tion of a number of people. Rev. Thomp-son brought the message on Decision Day in the Sunday School and also to the men at their special meeting this week. Eleven young people have given them-selves to the Lord so far durin g the meet-in gs. This is the last week. Sunday will be the closing day for Rev. and Mrs. C. S. Thompson to sing and conduct the musical part of the services. From here they will go to Johnstown to conduct a meeting in one of the United Brethren Churches there. You are cordially invited to attend the remaining nights nt 7.30 either to make your contribution of good will and service or to receive from the Lord 's hand His great blessing or better both.

Hershey s Chocolate Makes Endurance Record Possible We were pleased to receive a copy of the Kansas City Star, dated Jan. 26th, from Mr. Fred L. Shear, publicity manager of the Orpheum Circuit of that city, con-taining an article which is of unusual interest to us, as follows: A New Endurance Record. DETROIT, Jan. 26.—Mrs. Doro-thy Meincke was recuperating today from sixteen and one-half hours of consecutive bowling, during which she completed 130 games, tumbling 21,668 pins for an average score of 166 7-13. The feat establishes a new endur-ance record for women, Mrs. Meincke breaking her own old mark of one hundred games, set last year. HER ONLY NOURISHMENT WAS HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE BARS and water. Pete, the pin boy, who refused to quit until she did , is esti-mated to have lifted forty and one-half tons of pins. This is proof conclusive that HER-SHEY'S Milk Chocolate is not only a wholesome food, but a sustaining food. Furthermore, HERSHEY'S Chocolate is a complete and concentrated food for it contains high percentages of fat and pro-tein and of the essential minerals, calcium, sodium and potassium. When milk is added and being freed of its water, HER-SHEY'S Chocolate is still further enriched and forms the highest quality of nutrition known. ¦•¦« « Chocolate and milk contain highly nu-tritive elements that are sometimes lacking in one's general diet. Sweet Milk Choco-late, therefore, becomes a protective food , that is not only wholesome, but which serves to protect us against deficiencies in other foods. The addition of almonds adds a pleasing flavor and variety to the Chocolate. Almonds contain abundant protein of a more nutritious value than the protein of even the best of cereals. The dietetic excellence of HERSHEY'S Sweet Milk Chocolate has been recognized by all food authorities and it is used freely by explorers, soldiers, sailors and athletes who are required to make long marches or to endure muscular exertion for prolonged periods. Dauphin County to Spend One Million Dollars This Year Dauphin County's 1926 budget, adopted last week by the county commissioners, provides for increased expenditures this year of $50,000 over the cost of the county government in 1925. The tax rate re-mains at six mills under the new budget. The budget is based on an estimated increase of $50,000 in the county revenue this year. Property improvements are expected to raise the total assessed valua-tion of property in the county and the county 's share of the State gasoline tax will probably be larger. Budget estimates place the probable cost of running the county government this year at $876,000. In addition the commissioners will spend the $350,000 balance of last year 's $500,000 highway improvement loan. For the payment of interest and princi-pal on last year 's road loan the commis-ttioners have set aside $-16,000, which ac-counts in most part for the increased budget . Increases and reductions in other appropriations offset each other. Appropriations of $95,000 and $38,000 were made to the department of poor and IxKird of prison inspectors , respectively. The department of poor appropriation was increased$5000 because of a 1!)25 deficit of more than $4,000. The county appropriation to the Harris-burg Hospital was increased from $17,500 to $25,000, and the Polyclinic Hospital appropriation was raised from $4000 to $5000. From current revenue the commissioners will take $42,150 for road construction and maintenance. There is also available for highway improvement a balance of $350,- 000 from the $500,000 highway loan. Roads to be constructed tl)ls year are the Hallfax-Fishervillc, KnterJinc to llfill-fax Township line, Laudcrmilch , Union IJcposlt and Jonestown roads. The appropriation for courthouse repairs was reduced from $8000 to $5000 to permit mi allowance of $3(XK) for the Dauphin county traveling library. The library item was $2500 In 1925. Other appro-priations Include $16,000 to Mothers' Assistance Fund , $500 to Harrisburg National Guard units, $3500 to the Dau-phin County Agricultura l Extension So-ciet y, $36,200 for brid ge repair and con-struction , $27,568 for courthouse main-tenance and $135,000 for the care of in-mates from this count y in |xmhi1 and insane institutions other limn the county prison. The bud get allows $04,775 for conductin g the county courts In 1926. althou gh the costs of the courts totaled only $60,000 lust year. BIG SCORE AT "500" PARTY The American Legion "500" card party held on Monday evenin g, at the Y. W. C. A. recreation rooms, was largely attended. The prize winners were: Irvln H. Slossor, 3680; Jesse Dershelmur , 3420; Mrs. Jennie McCltiro, 3290; M, F. Harris. 3250; Mis. M. Alberts, 3230; Wlnfield Zimmerman, 3160; Verne. Oxen, 660. Elinor Glyns Great Film, "His Hour," Here Next Thursda y Elinor Glyn is one novelist who writes entirel y on inspiration. The picturization of her story, "His Hour" is coming to the Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday evening, February 18th, at 7.30 o'clock, and promises even more of a thrilling love story than her elaborate screen production of'Three Weeks." "His Hour" is an absolutely faithful E icture of Russian aristocratic society efore the revolution . Each character is drawn from life , each palace shown upon the screen is copied from its real prototype, and the writin g of the novel was inspired, ur ged and supported by the Russians. The character of Gritzko, Prince Milas-lavski , is a profound study of a noble soul, in realit y wild as a caged hawk, because the laws and customs of the country did not permit him any outlet for his superabun-dance of vitality and ambition. So, thrown back upon himself , he is wild, tr ying to stille his glowing thoughts. The stran ge shades of melancholy and sentiment show in him , wild one moment, tender th e next , intensel y fascinating always, devoid of selfconsciousness, per-fectly natural and interesting. There is in everythin g a note of passion, of lawless emotion kept in place by breed-ing and tradition , but inherent in the Russian character! Ailecn Pnngle portrays the delicious young English widow heroine, longing to break away from her conventional up-brin ging. John Gilbert shows the real Gritzko. He is said to be the absolute image of the Prince. The stra n ge scene of the duel is drawn from life lifte all the rest of the story.

Full Text | Evangelist Stough to Speak - In Hershey Monday Night Rev. H. W. Stough , the well-known evangelist, will speak in the new Hershey High School auditorium on Monday evening, February 15th , at 7.30 o'clock. His subject will be "Revolution or Revival, Which?" Evangelist Stough, who closes a most successful campaign in the 7th Street Lutheran Church, Lebanon, on Sunday evening, has, through the intensive efforts of Rev. James B. MacClure, consented to deliver his message in Hershey. Rev. Stough is not a stranger in Hershey, for he has been in this vicinity upon numerous occasions. He is one of the foremost evangelists before the public today, and the Hershey High School auditorium will, there is little doubt, be taxed to its utmost capacity by those eager to hear him. As an additional feature on Monday evening Rev. and Mrs. C. E. Thompson, who are conducting evangelistic services in the local U. B. Church, will have charge of the song service. They will also sing several selections, accompanied on the harp by Mrs. Thompson , who is a talented harpist. This is a rare privilege, and the people of Hershey and vicinity are to be congratulated at the opportunity thus afforded. The doors will be opened at 6.45 p. m. Come early, in order to get a seat. There will be a choir to lead the singing, directed by Rev. C. E. Thompson. All choir members are urged to be present on Monday eve-ning in order to participate. Old familiar Gospel hymns will be sung. "The Midnight Express" Is a Story of Action and Interest When Nellie the Beautiful Cloak Model ( Elaine Hammerstein in the stellar role was made into a moving picture and re-leased under its original title there were many people who said that it would not take with the public because it was such an old story and because everyone had seen it at some time or other. Yet it was a great success. "The Midnight Express," which will be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Friday evening, February 12th, at 7.30 o'clock, and Saturday evening, February 13th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock, was in its day just as much a standby for stock companies and barnstormers as Nellie. In its original version it was full of the blood and thunder of old time stage technique. In the film version with its wider scope of action possibilities this trashy stage busi-ness has been eliminated. In this present state it is a story full of the action and thrills of railroad life and with the old love story just as strong and greatly enhanced by its modem setting. The outdoor parts also give much that the stage production could not even make an attempt to present. outdoes herself. William Haines is the handsome reason for Elaine's great worry as to whether he would ever be other than a coward or not. The rest of the cast among whom are George Nichols, Lloyd Whitlock, Edwin Booth Tilton, Pat Harmon, Ber-tram Grassby, Phyllis Haver and Roscoe Karns, is up to the fine performance given by the two principals. The story is well known to many old time theatre goers and it has not suffered in its main characteristics in being transferred to the screen . It is the tale of a young man, son of the railroad president living a life of dissipation and finally being thrown on his own resources by his irate father who learns that he has not been at his work for a week. The boy's consequent efforts for success under an assumed name on his father 's road and his meeting with the girl who spurs him into carrying on when he would have given up, form a fast moving tale of action which includes a fierce struggle with an escaped convict and a real train wreck. Road to Elizabet htown Badly in Need of Repairs The cost of maintenance of roads in Dauphin County townships has been mounting steadily until last year it was almost twice the 1919 figure, information furnished by the State Department of Highways reveals. The amount spent on maintenance of townships' roads in Dauphin County last year was $139,315.67, while the figure for this expenditure in 1919 was only $75,- 706.02. The Dauphin County Commis-sioners are of the opinion that township supervisors should spend money for the construction of good roads rather than than for the maintenance of inadequate dirt roads. Inasmuch as the township is spending so much money repairing roads, we wish that the Road Supervisors would get on the job and repair some particularly bad spots on the road between Hershey and Elizabethtown. We note that the Road Supervisors spend a lot of money to con-struct a good road , but af ter it is con-structed , let it go to pieces without any effort upon their part to repair it. The holes in the road between Hershey and Deodate haven't been touched since we can remember—and it would seem, from all indications, that there is every intention of allowing the holes to become ravines. Someone is certainly laying down on the job. High School Will Publish Monthly At the general assembly of the student body of the Hershey Junior -Senior High School last Frida y morning it was decided that a monthly school publication be published. The question was presented by Miss Helen Gilson, the English teacher , and was met with a unanimous approval. Material is being prepared to have the first publication ready for distribution in the latter part of February. The paper will consist of four mimeographed pages, and with this as a starter a better paper will probably develop in the following years. Ah yet a title has not l>een adopted for the publication. The editorial staff is as follows: Editor-in- chief , Ixiis Oilman, '27; assistants, Ixe Shertzcr , '27 and Ruth Liller. "27; art editor, Roy Dundore, '27 ; assistants, Parke Spancake.

The general plan of the book was made known to pupils and teachers and every one urged to get behind the move-ment so as to assure the success of the publication . The character of the book is necessarily determined by the funds avail-able. For this reason it is necessary to secure subscription pledges at $1.00 each which is to be the price ol a copy of the year book. The response was among the student body exceeded our expectations, when 388 subscriptions were passed in from an enrollment of 416. In order to make it possible for the patrons of the school to secure copies, the business mana-ger will circulate subscription blanks in the very near future. A feature of a meeting was the singing by the male members of the staff under the direction of Mr. Samuel N. Barrow as inter locutor and composer of the following song : The Senior Class is going to print an An-nu-al. The Senior Class is going to print an An-nu-al. They are going to print an An-nu-al and Make it as good as the Liberty Bell. Inky-dinky-An-nu-al. The Senior Class is going to sell the An-nu- al. The Senior Class is going to sell the An-nu- al.

There are several more debates pending with neighboring towns. Asks Court to Permit Sale of Florin Plant John Hertzlcr, receiver of the Nlssloy- Swiss Chocolate, of Florin, presented a petition to the I-ancuster Court last week asking that he be allowed to sell the plant of the company to the Keystone Chocolate Company, of Hnrrlsburg, for $87,500 as this is the best offer he has received for the plant. The petition sets forth that the appraisement of the plant, contents, money on hand, etc., amounted to $119,889.71. The debts and obligations aggregate $408,719.42. The Keystone Chocolate Company has given n check for $8,750, which is ten per cent cent, of the purchase price In order to insure their takin g the plant If the Court so directs. The Court was naked to make a decree allowing tlie sale and Saturday, February 27 was fixed at the time (or a hearing. Chief Hal Boyer—— Tells of Chimney Fire Preventatives A number of chimney fires have occurred in this vicinity during the winter. All were extinguished by the Hershey Vol. Fire Co. before gaining any headway. Fire Chief Hal Boyer, who believes that some of the fires were caused by'accumula-tions of soot due to the burning of soft coal and other anthracite coal substitutes, tells of methods of cleaning chimneys. . "A common method is to sweep the chimney with a properly weighted bundle of rags—or a bush attached to a rope and worked from the top of the chimney." "Another method is the use of salt. The fire should be put in good condition with a substantial body of hot fuel. Well dried common salt is then scattered over the fuel. About a pound of salt is necessary for a furnace. For a cooking stove a few handfuls of salt is sufficient. The dampers would be kept open until the fumes have entirely disappea?ed. The soot is dis-integrated by the action of the salt fumes." "Scrap zinc thrown on a hot fire will also answer the purpose of a soot remover. Another method said to be effective is to fire blank cartridges from a revolver up the chimney." Householders are asked to use the ut-most precaution in order to reduce the number of fires. American Legion to Hold Washington Birthd ay Dance Preparations are being made by the American Legion to ' hold . their annual Washington Birthday Dance in the Her-shey Winter Dance Hall on Monday eve-ning, February 22d.

School Boys Ruining Shade Trees C. i>. Schmidt, our local landscajx; gardener , states that boys are injuring the shade trees on West Chocolate Avenue, above Hess's garage.

(Continued on Page 4) Hershey Scouts to Observe 16th Anni-versar y of Scouting "The 16th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, celebrated this month, will bring to many men a memory of the days when Boy Scout work was a new thing," says John F. Snavely, secretary of the Hershey Men's Club. "It looked good in those days, but many of us wondered if its ideals were too high to "take" with the majority of people. "The organization has now'become a recognized power in character develop-ment of boys, and it is interesting to know that in all the great universities a large percentage of the students have been Boy Scouts. In many, the number of students that have had Scout training and experience is more than half. Another interesting fact is that so far as known of the 2,000,000 boys who in the past 16 years have been Boy Scouts, not one has ever been found a criminal or sent to prison. Judge Lindsey, who is perhaps the greatest juvenile court judge in the country, has declared that no Boy Scout has ever been brought into his court. "The local Scout Troops are under very efficient management, and the ideals of the work are high. The weeks spent in the Boy Scout camp are a part of a boy's experience that he will recall with pleasure and profit all his life. There is a touch with the wild, a spirit of exploration and adventure, and a consciousness of sharing in the romance of the fields and woods that adds a charm to memory which never fades. "But the Boy Scout program is not all camping. It is a great deal more than snake hunting and knot tying. Scouting covers all sorts of woodcraft and outdoor work, tracking, swimming, signalling, preserving and mounting skins, study of trees, birds, and flowers ; all sorts of hand-work, first aid, and life saving. Scouting has a twelve month program, and the Scout is busy in December as well as in July and August. "One of the other striking things con-nected with Scouting is the high sense of honor bred in the Boy Scout, together with a spirit of reverance and an ideal of service that is fundamentally sound. I have made it a point to visit the Boy Scouts in camp several times each year and spend a night or two there whenever possible. I have personally seen the great benefits derived from the Scout program. "I have known a troop of Boy Scouts to lie out on a hillside for hours at night talking about the magnitude and distance of the stars, the conversation naturally drifting into talking about the Great Creator of the universe. I have known the same thing to happen when talking about trees, as nature study leads naturally into thoughts of the Maker of it all. I have seen about the camp fires stunts performed by the boys that would amaze their parents or their teachers. The boys set free from conventions develop an originality and ability that no one dreamed of. 'Mama's pets' become intelligent and courageous leaders, and foolish and almost hopeless egotists develop both consideration and modesty. Parents sometimes are fearful about letting their sons go to the Scout camp. They need not be. The Scouts at camp are always under efficient leadership. Camp life has its regular and orderly routine. Beds must be made up and tents put in order daily. There is regular in-spection . There are hours for .recreation and hours for study. No profanity or vulgarity of any kind is allowed. Super-vision is constant, but it takes the form of leadership and is not recognized as super-vision. There are about one hundred active Boy Scouts in Hershey. There should be twice this number, and probably will be by the end of another year, as the number is constantly increasing." Eleven Young People Hear the Call at U. B. Church The evangelistic meetings now in pro-gress in the United Brethren Church are very interesting. The attendance is good and the spirit of the meetings is helpful to the upbuilding of the believer in the faith and a great opportunity for the unsaved to find the Lord Jesus. Local ministers, the Revs. R, H. Taylor, J. B. MacClure, P. M. Kinports and O. G. Romig have assisted the pastor in the preachin g of the Word and brought very helpfu l messages of truth unto the salva - tion of a number of people. Rev. Thomp-son brought the message on Decision Day in the Sunday School and also to the men at their special meeting this week. Eleven young people have given them-selves to the Lord so far durin g the meet-in gs. This is the last week. Sunday will be the closing day for Rev. and Mrs. C. S. Thompson to sing and conduct the musical part of the services. From here they will go to Johnstown to conduct a meeting in one of the United Brethren Churches there. You are cordially invited to attend the remaining nights nt 7.30 either to make your contribution of good will and service or to receive from the Lord 's hand His great blessing or better both.

Hershey s Chocolate Makes Endurance Record Possible We were pleased to receive a copy of the Kansas City Star, dated Jan. 26th, from Mr. Fred L. Shear, publicity manager of the Orpheum Circuit of that city, con-taining an article which is of unusual interest to us, as follows: A New Endurance Record. DETROIT, Jan. 26.—Mrs. Doro-thy Meincke was recuperating today from sixteen and one-half hours of consecutive bowling, during which she completed 130 games, tumbling 21,668 pins for an average score of 166 7-13. The feat establishes a new endur-ance record for women, Mrs. Meincke breaking her own old mark of one hundred games, set last year. HER ONLY NOURISHMENT WAS HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE BARS and water. Pete, the pin boy, who refused to quit until she did , is esti-mated to have lifted forty and one-half tons of pins. This is proof conclusive that HER-SHEY'S Milk Chocolate is not only a wholesome food, but a sustaining food. Furthermore, HERSHEY'S Chocolate is a complete and concentrated food for it contains high percentages of fat and pro-tein and of the essential minerals, calcium, sodium and potassium. When milk is added and being freed of its water, HER-SHEY'S Chocolate is still further enriched and forms the highest quality of nutrition known. ¦•¦« « Chocolate and milk contain highly nu-tritive elements that are sometimes lacking in one's general diet. Sweet Milk Choco-late, therefore, becomes a protective food , that is not only wholesome, but which serves to protect us against deficiencies in other foods. The addition of almonds adds a pleasing flavor and variety to the Chocolate. Almonds contain abundant protein of a more nutritious value than the protein of even the best of cereals. The dietetic excellence of HERSHEY'S Sweet Milk Chocolate has been recognized by all food authorities and it is used freely by explorers, soldiers, sailors and athletes who are required to make long marches or to endure muscular exertion for prolonged periods. Dauphin County to Spend One Million Dollars This Year Dauphin County's 1926 budget, adopted last week by the county commissioners, provides for increased expenditures this year of $50,000 over the cost of the county government in 1925. The tax rate re-mains at six mills under the new budget. The budget is based on an estimated increase of $50,000 in the county revenue this year. Property improvements are expected to raise the total assessed valua-tion of property in the county and the county 's share of the State gasoline tax will probably be larger. Budget estimates place the probable cost of running the county government this year at $876,000. In addition the commissioners will spend the $350,000 balance of last year 's $500,000 highway improvement loan.

Elinor Glyns Great Film, "His Hour," Here Next Thursda y Elinor Glyn is one novelist who writes entirel y on inspiration. The picturization of her story, "His Hour" is coming to the Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday evening, February 18th, at 7.30 o'clock, and promises even more of a thrilling love story than her elaborate screen production of'Three Weeks." "His Hour" is an absolutely faithful E icture of Russian aristocratic society efore the revolution . Each character is drawn from life , each palace shown upon the screen is copied from its real prototype, and the writin g of the novel was inspired, ur ged and supported by the Russians. The character of Gritzko, Prince Milas-lavski , is a profound study of a noble soul, in realit y wild as a caged hawk, because the laws and customs of the country did not permit him any outlet for his superabun-dance of vitality and ambition. So, thrown back upon himself , he is wild, tr ying to stille his glowing thoughts. The stran ge shades of melancholy and sentiment show in him , wild one moment, tender th e next , intensel y fascinating always, devoid of selfconsciousness, per-fectly natural and interesting. There is in everythin g a note of passion, of lawless emotion kept in place by breed-ing and tradition , but inherent in the Russian character! Ailecn Pnngle portrays the delicious young English widow heroine, longing to break away from her conventional up-brin ging. John Gilbert shows the real Gritzko. He is said to be the absolute image of the Prince. The stra n ge scene of the duel is drawn from life lifte all the rest of the story. The rea l Gritzko wua a god Son of the Emperor , who used to pardon his wild frolics just as the old ladies forgave any-thing he did , because his astonishing fasci-nati on held them his slaves. Mario Carillo (Count Carucciolo) plays the part of the first secretary of the French Embassy, making a life-like representation of the foreign diplomat. The English Lord is played by an officer in the Welsh Guards, Capt. Wilfred Gough, to got the exact tyjie. Stephen Strong, portrayed by Laurence Grant , is also no Englishman.
