Campaign for Cleanliness to be Wag-ed in all Parts of the Town. Co-operation of Householders. Cans for Garbage and Ashes. Clean the Alleys Take Notice Citizens of Hershey We request that ashes and gar-bage be kept in separate recepta-cles in the future. The Improve- ' ment Company's team will make .¦ separate trips for collection of ashes and other trips for collec-tion of garbage and refuse, which ¦will be immediately burned. Nothing but clean ashes will be ¦ allowed to be placed oh our pub-lic dumps in the future. We also request that all alleys be cleaned of refuse and manure at once and "be kept clean. . We ask- the citizens of Her-shey to kindly assist us in keep-ing the. town of Hershey in a high state of . sanitation. Hershey Improvement Co. Hershey has now reached the time and stage of its growth when the best modern methods and the great-est care must be used to promote and insure its cleanliness. That, means the healthiest town in America and it also means the coop-eration of its people. Plans are now under way to ar-range for the prompt burning of all garbage. This is in line with the best sanitary policies of the progres-sive towns and cities. Preliminary to it and following regularly there must be a rigorous cleaning up of alleys until they are kept in as good condition as the front streets. Along with this goes the better care of the rears of dwellings and the constant , attention to lots. The purpose will be to collect all gar-bage and decaying matter and burn it. The householder must see that this garbage and this decaying mat-ter is got together without fail for the garbage collector. Each house should have two recep-tacles— one for the garbage and one for ashes. This separation is com-pelled by law in cities. The results have been very remarkable. The death rate has gone down; there has been far less illness; typhoid and oth-er diseases of the kind have been re-duced to the minimum, and a recent authority says, "Human life has been greatly prolonged by the application of modern scientific sanitation , and it is estimated that thirteen years more could be added to the average duration of life in the United States by the application of principles with which we are already familiar." Refuse collection and disposal has been solved by science and burning is proven to be the ideal means. The intention in Hershey is to do this so thoroughly that there will be noth-ing for the breeding of flies and of germs. With it will be a lively cam-paign against the flies—and it is. a great mistake to think that a fly cam-paign should be postponed until the Spring. The best thing to do is to work all through the fall and winter and reduce the number of the big flies that will produce a spring crop unless they are killed. Constant attention to alleys and yards and the collection of all decom-posing organic matter cannot bo too strongly urged. The dying request of the wife of President Wilson was that the law compelling the cleaning and improvement of the Washington alloys should bo passed by. Congress and this was done. She died happier knowing how much good it would do. And the good is already appearing. Horshoy alloys and yards have none of the worse aspects of city nui-sances but the way to keep thorn from becoming harmful to the general health is to push this town campaign and keep it going earnestly. In Hershey all garbage dumps will bo abolished ; the garbage will bo bu?-nod and the crusade for cleanli-ness will bo kept going. Put your garbage and ashes In soporato cans; see that your yard and alloy are all right—and swat tho fly 1 Hershey to Burn all Garbage and Wage War Against Flies They Will be Busy in Hershey and Most of the Big Ones Will Hold a Party in the Rooms of the Men's , Club. Costumes Will be Al-lowed. A Merry Time ' L Under the joint chaperonage of the Young Women's Christian Associa-tion arid the Hershey Men's Club the full-grown sprites and • goblins of Halloween .will desport themselves joyously . tomorrow evening and . will have their headquarters in the rooms of the Young Men's Club. To make the affair as complete as possible a chairman was chosen , from each or-ganization and each chairman select-ed .various assistants. These Com-mittees were appointed : entertain-ment, Mr. Hills and Mrs. Bacastow; decorations, Mr. Krause and Mrs. Hills; games, Mr. Brandau and Miss Butch; refreshments, Dr. Mumma a¦ nd-Miss Elder. The hour is eight o'clock and many of those taking , part will .be in cos-tume. Masks are permissible. The idea is to have a genuine good time and tnere is great interest in the par-ty. There will be unusually good music by an orchestra. Look For Sprites and Goblins When Night Falls Tomorrow Tag Day a Great Success It Yielded Over Eighty Dollars to the Kindergarten Last Saturday the only Hershey persons who were.not tagged were those who' were' out of town. Every-body who stayed home and everybody who .drifted in and everybody who went about was tagged—and many of them had bunches of decorations, for. each of which they made a contri-bution to the best of good causes, the support of the kindergarten. Up with the larks were the young folks and among them was little Louisa Shay with big Frantz Zinner as her ad-jutant and body guard. . When Louisa saw the enemy in the 'offing she de-ployed Frantz to turn both the right and left wingsy in her direction and soon all in. sight were captured and tagged, Louisa sold many tags and collected thirteen dollars and won the first prize, but she had many rivals and prizes were given to these pret-ty and faithful workers, Mary Maul-fair, Bessie Whittle, Ethel Foltz, Florence Sneath, and Verna Stuckey. The prizes were contributed by Mrs. George Eppley, Mrs. L. W. Edwards, Miss Ethel Miller and Miss Margaret Langworthy. A party to those taking part fol-lowed the contest and was hugely enjoyed. Misses - Langworthy and Miller were much pleased with the success of the tag day idea. It gave a total of $81.90 to the kindergarten.

He is the scholar -in politics and he has shown himself to be such a good fighter and all-round orator that there is unusual desire to hear him. A large crowd is assured. Mr. Kreider will also speak and he has many, friends and supporters in Hershey who will be glad to welcome him again to the model town. He has spoken here be-fore and has pleased his audience. Local Republicans are full of en-thusiasm this year and they are par-ticularly, interested in the . success of this meeting. There will be . music by the Hershey Band. Name Has Not Yet Been Selected and the Competition is Still Open With an Invitation to All to Send in Suggestions. Special Pro-gram for the Inaugural Saturday, November 7, has been se-lected for the opening of the theater at the corner of Chocolate and Cocoa avenues. It will be a gala occasion and crowded houses are expected. In honor of the event a special bill has been secured, including the midget acrobats and reels that will show modern moving pictures at their best.

The new theater will be found to be just the place that Hershey has wanted and its success is assured. For the name of the *iew theater the contest is still open. The man-ager says, "Last week we announced that we would give a season ticket to the one first sending in the name de-cided to bo tho best and most appro-priate. Wo emphasized tho fact that tho theater is in tho center of the town and is entirely apart from the Hershey Park Theater which is lo-cated on tho other side of the railroad. Wo wish it understood that those who have not yet sent in names may do so and have an equal chanco to carry off jibe honors. Tho last . name re-ceived may bo tho one selected. Soo that you do your part to give one of Horshoy's most prominent buildings tho name that it will boar." Address all names to Manager, Theatre, Her-shey, Pa. Tho season ticket will bo sent to tho winner in time for tho opening performance and it will bo good for all performances until the Kouson closes. Hershey's Handsome Theater Opens Saturday, November 7 Big Time at Annville Yesterday was a groat day at Ann-vlllo , ono of tho rod letter days Ire its history. Lebanon Valley College suspended operations and joined in oho grand , glorious colobj 'ntlon of tho victory of its football team over Get-tysburg. All Annvlllo added its pres-ence ' and plaudits, There ware speeches, music, songs, shouts and immense bonfires, and everybody was happy, It Was the One American Concern - Able to Handle Unusual Orders in a Rush. Wide Distribution of the Hershey Products. Fac-tory Running at Capacity A signal proof of the ability of the most complete chocolate factory in the world has been furnished during the past ten days. European buyers entered the American market with large orders that had to be handled quickly. The Hershey. Chocolate Company got the business and five important shipments are now upon the ocean bound to points in Europe. Nothing to equal them has ever been known before in the cocoa and choco-late trade of America. This refers not only to the size of the shipments but to the promptness and celerity with which they were made. When trade conditions were dis-turbed by the great war and the prices of materials entering into the cocoa and Chocolate products were suddenly raised and supplies were doubtful the Hershey Company took care of its regular customers with-out any advance with the result that the shipments from Hershey broke, all records. On . the first day of September- alone '-- 26 carloads were shipped from this place and during September the total ran up to 366 cars. The figures for October are not all in but they are very large. These shipments reach every' part of the United States and some parts of Canada and Mexico. They include many carload lots for Pacific Coast points. They cover very thoroughly the Middle "West. While other concerns have been re-stricting their- output the Hershey Chocolate Company has been run-ning— and is now running—at full capacity and work is being pushed on the new enlargements which when completed will give the factory 35 acres of floor space. Big Shipments to Europe Show Hershey's Leadership List of Registrations at the Cafe Shows Names From all Parts of the World. Number has Been Increasing This Fall. Automobile Parties. This fall a register has been kept by the jmanager at the Hershey Cafe and while all of those who have dined there have not put "their names on the book, the list is most interesting and instructive. Among the hun-dreds of places represented are the following: Germany, England, Swed-en, Queensland, Argentine Republic, Norway, China, and among the cities and towns of America are New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, Bal-timore, Washington, Richmond,. Chi-cago, St. Louis, San Francisco, Kan-sas City, Brooklyn, Nashville, Racine, Wheeling, Dayton, Brunswick, Ga., Buffalo, Allentown, Mechanicsburg, Reading, York, Camden, N.

Leading Offices to be Filled in Election Next Tuesday Record Breaking Crops Thousands of Bushels of Grain Being Stored in Hershey It has been the greatest year Leb-anon Valley farms have knbwn for decades. The Hershey farms have been particularly productive and have reached unprecedented yields. It has been a wonderful corn year. Most of this corn on tho Hershey farms has gone into silage, but there are thou-sands of bushels for use and this quantity has been added to by the crops from other farms. A problem is how to store it, Many temporary cribs are being built and a crib for. fifteen hundred or two thousand bushels is being constructed near the Hershey warehouse. With wheat tho problem is still more difficult. Tho total yields o£ tho Hershey farms may bo about SQ,Q00 bushels and it is not tho in-tention of tho owner to got rid of It on tho present market. At the Her-shey mill and In tho dancing pavilion in Hershey Park ten thousand bushels are being stored. . Of course no ono expects war in this neighborhood but if ono should come Horshoy would ho well stocked against hunger, It Raised Almost a Hundred Dollars in Cash and Sent Over Three Hun-dred Dollars' Worth of Wearing Apparel and Toys and Other Useful Contributions Hurrah! hurrah! for the Christmas ship - As it starts across the sea . With its load of gifts and its greater load Of loving sympathy. Let's wave our hats aijd clap our hands As We send it on its trip; .

Hershey led all points in the Leb-anon Valley in the number and value of its contributions to the Christmas .smp for the war orphans of. Europe. It raised $93.89. in cash and ten boxes in which were over three hundred dollars' worth of goods. Under Mrs. Charles V. Glynn the movement' was a splendid success. AH ages were enthusiastic. One child started with a gift of five cents but she lost a cent and valiantly contributed ' the other four. Another child brought two sticks of candy. One woman gave $25 ' worth of clothing. A child packed, a half pound' of chest-nuts in. her little box. No one was asked to give—all was purely volun-tary. Palmyra shoe factories sold the committee shoes at half price and Erigle -sold merchandise, at half price. TRe^%rsftey«<St«>Te Company gave a large discount ,on all articles and ma-terial's.!

Campaign for Cleanliness to be Wag-ed
in all Parts of the Town. Co-operation
of Householders. Cans
for Garbage and Ashes.
Clean the Alleys
Take Notice Citizens of Hershey
We request that ashes and gar-bage
be kept in separate recepta-cles
in the future. The Improve- '
ment Company's team will make
.¦ separate trips for collection of ashes and other trips for collec-tion
of garbage and refuse, which
¦will be immediately burned.
Nothing but clean ashes will be ¦
allowed to be placed oh our pub-lic
dumps in the future.
We also request that all alleys
be cleaned of refuse and manure
at once and "be kept clean. .
We ask- the citizens of Her-shey
to kindly assist us in keep-ing
the. town of Hershey in a high
state of . sanitation.
Hershey Improvement Co.
Hershey has now reached the time
and stage of its growth when the
best modern methods and the great-est
care must be used to promote and
insure its cleanliness.
That, means the healthiest town in
America and it also means the coop-eration
of its people.
Plans are now under way to ar-range
for the prompt burning of all
garbage. This is in line with the
best sanitary policies of the progres-sive
towns and cities.
Preliminary to it and following
regularly there must be a rigorous
cleaning up of alleys until they are
kept in as good condition as the front
streets. Along with this goes the
better care of the rears of dwellings
and the constant , attention to lots.
The purpose will be to collect all gar-bage
and decaying matter and burn
it. The householder must see that
this garbage and this decaying mat-ter
is got together without fail for
the garbage collector.
Each house should have two recep-tacles—
one for the garbage and one
for ashes. This separation is com-pelled
by law in cities. The results
have been very remarkable. The
death rate has gone down; there has
been far less illness; typhoid and oth-er
diseases of the kind have been re-duced
to the minimum, and a recent
authority says, "Human life has been
greatly prolonged by the application
of modern scientific sanitation , and
it is estimated that thirteen years
more could be added to the average
duration of life in the United States
by the application of principles with
which we are already familiar."
Refuse collection and disposal has
been solved by science and burning
is proven to be the ideal means. The
intention in Hershey is to do this so
thoroughly that there will be noth-ing
for the breeding of flies and of
germs. With it will be a lively cam-paign
against the flies—and it is. a
great mistake to think that a fly cam-paign
should be postponed until the
Spring. The best thing to do is to
work all through the fall and winter
and reduce the number of the big
flies that will produce a spring crop
unless they are killed.
Constant attention to alleys and
yards and the collection of all decom-posing
organic matter cannot bo too
strongly urged. The dying request
of the wife of President Wilson was
that the law compelling the cleaning
and improvement of the Washington
alloys should bo passed by. Congress
and this was done. She died happier
knowing how much good it would do.
And the good is already appearing.
Horshoy alloys and yards have
none of the worse aspects of city nui-sances
but the way to keep thorn from
becoming harmful to the general
health is to push this town campaign
and keep it going earnestly.
In Hershey all garbage dumps will
bo abolished ; the garbage will bo
bu?-nod and the crusade for cleanli-ness
will bo kept going. Put your
garbage and ashes In soporato cans;
see that your yard and alloy are all
right—and swat tho fly 1

Look For Sprites and Goblins
When Night Falls Tomorrow
Tag Day a Great Success
It Yielded Over Eighty Dollars to the
Kindergarten
Last Saturday the only Hershey
persons who were.not tagged were
those who' were' out of town. Every-body
who stayed home and everybody
who .drifted in and everybody who
went about was tagged—and many
of them had bunches of decorations,
for. each of which they made a contri-bution
to the best of good causes, the
support of the kindergarten. Up with
the larks were the young folks and
among them was little Louisa Shay
with big Frantz Zinner as her ad-jutant
and body guard. . When Louisa
saw the enemy in the 'offing she de-ployed
Frantz to turn both the right
and left wingsy in her direction and
soon all in. sight were captured and
tagged, Louisa sold many tags and
collected thirteen dollars and won the
first prize, but she had many rivals
and prizes were given to these pret-ty
and faithful workers, Mary Maul-fair,
Bessie Whittle, Ethel Foltz,
Florence Sneath, and Verna Stuckey.
The prizes were contributed by Mrs.
George Eppley, Mrs. L. W. Edwards,
Miss Ethel Miller and Miss Margaret
Langworthy.
A party to those taking part fol-lowed
the contest and was hugely
enjoyed. Misses - Langworthy and
Miller were much pleased with the
success of the tag day idea. It gave
a total of $81.90 to the kindergarten.

It Was the One American Concern
- Able to Handle Unusual Orders in
a Rush. Wide Distribution of
the Hershey Products. Fac-tory
Running at Capacity
A signal proof of the ability of the
most complete chocolate factory in
the world has been furnished during
the past ten days. European buyers
entered the American market with
large orders that had to be handled
quickly. The Hershey. Chocolate
Company got the business and five
important shipments are now upon
the ocean bound to points in Europe.
Nothing to equal them has ever been
known before in the cocoa and choco-late
trade of America. This refers
not only to the size of the shipments
but to the promptness and celerity
with which they were made.
When trade conditions were dis-turbed
by the great war and the
prices of materials entering into the
cocoa and Chocolate products were
suddenly raised and supplies were
doubtful the Hershey Company took
care of its regular customers with-out
any advance with the result that
the shipments from Hershey broke,
all records. On . the first day of
September- alone '-- 26 carloads were
shipped from this place and during
September the total ran up to 366
cars. The figures for October are
not all in but they are very large.
These shipments reach every' part
of the United States and some parts
of Canada and Mexico. They include
many carload lots for Pacific Coast
points. They cover very thoroughly
the Middle "West.
While other concerns have been re-stricting
their- output the Hershey
Chocolate Company has been run-ning—
and is now running—at full
capacity and work is being pushed
on the new enlargements which when
completed will give the factory 35
acres of floor space.

Record Breaking Crops
Thousands of Bushels of Grain Being
Stored in Hershey
It has been the greatest year Leb-anon
Valley farms have knbwn for
decades. The Hershey farms have
been particularly productive and have
reached unprecedented yields. It has
been a wonderful corn year. Most of
this corn on tho Hershey farms has
gone into silage, but there are thou-sands
of bushels for use and this
quantity has been added to by the
crops from other farms. A problem
is how to store it, Many temporary
cribs are being built and a crib for.
fifteen hundred or two thousand
bushels is being constructed near the
Hershey warehouse.
With wheat tho problem is still
more difficult. Tho total yields o£
tho Hershey farms may bo about
SQ,Q00 bushels and it is not tho in-tention
of tho owner to got rid of It
on tho present market. At the Her-shey
mill and In tho dancing pavilion
in Hershey Park ten thousand bushels
are being stored.
. Of course no ono expects war in
this neighborhood but if ono should
come Horshoy would ho well stocked
against hunger,

Useful Contributions
Hurrah! hurrah! for the Christmas
ship -
As it starts across the sea .
With its load of gifts and its greater
load
Of loving sympathy.
Let's wave our hats aijd clap our
hands
As We send it on its trip; .
May many a .heart and , home be
cheered
By the gifts of the Christmas ship.
Hershey led all points in the Leb-anon
Valley in the number and value
of its contributions to the Christmas
.smp for the war orphans of. Europe.
It raised $93.89. in cash and ten boxes
in which were over three hundred
dollars' worth of goods. Under Mrs.
Charles V. Glynn the movement' was
a splendid success. AH ages were
enthusiastic. One child started with
a gift of five cents but she lost a
cent and valiantly contributed ' the
other four. Another child brought
two sticks of candy. One woman
gave $25 ' worth of clothing. A
child packed, a half pound' of chest-nuts
in. her little box. No one was
asked to give—all was purely volun-tary.
Palmyra shoe factories sold
the committee shoes at half price and
Erigle -sold merchandise, at half price.
