              Work On The New
Bridge Across Reading
Begun Tuesday
Work on the construction of a new
bridge at this place, carrying a Derry
Township road over the tracks of the
Reading Company, was begun on Tuesday
morning. The bridge is to cost $27,578.44
and this is allocated among the county, the
Reading Company, the township and other
partiesat interest.
The bridge crosses the three main tracks
of the Reading at the entrance of Hershey
Park. The road crossing the bridge ex-tends
to several highways leading to the
Jonestown road, the main highway be-tween
Harrisburg and Pottsville. It
intersects the William Penn Highway at
Hershey. The traffic over the bridge is
heavy, especially when Hershey Park is
open in the Summer.
The proposed bridge will have a twenty-six
foot roadway with a six-foot sidewalk
on each side. Some property will have to
be taken. This belongs to the Hershey
Chocolate Co., but the Company has
waived all rights it may have for damages.
The Reading Company is ordered by
the Public Service Commission to furnish
all materials and do the work necessary
to reconstruction and it will be reim-bursed
as follows, according to the com-mission's
allocation of the costs:
Derry Township, $4596; County of
Dauphin, $6690; Hershey Transit Com-pany,
$6860, in addition to removing and
replacing its facilities; Hummelstown Gas
& Fuel Company, relccate its own facilities;
Hershey Electric Company, provide for its
own facilities.
The new bridge must be completed , ty
December 1st.

Youth Will Be Served
Two thumbjerkers stood by the side of the
road
Dressed up in their Sunday best,
Their ready made ties were nicely bowed,
And their trousers were newly pressed.
Said one to the other "Let's keep hopping
rides
Eastbound till 'tis dinner time.
Then start hopping back, hot stuff , besides
Our journey won't cost us a dime."
The thumbjerkers stood by the side of the
road .
Dressed up in their Sunday best,
"Hi there! Goin' east? D'yer have a
load?"
Was the nature of their request.
Some cars passed by that were loaded for
fair,
And some that were trav'ling light,
But all gave the lads an icy stare
And sped o'er the hill out of sight.
At last one old Ford of the year nineteen
ten
Said, "Jump in with us, you two.
We're bound due east by the William Penn
And you're welcome to ride straight
through."
The Ford rambled on as you've heard that
they do,
Past village and farm and kirk ,
And often , down grade, hit fifty-two.
And the thumbjerkers sighed, "Quick
work."
They rolled into Philly around dinner hour1;
With "Thank you, we leave you here,"
They left the Ford as it shut off power
And hiked off to hunt up some beer.
They hoofed it back west along broad city
streets
Till they hit the open road,
They stopped at a hot-dog stand for eats
And cheerfully paid what they owed.
They caught a ride home in a huge limou-sine
With cushions full two foot deep,
They paid not a cent for gasoline,
And they tell us travel is cheap.
Teacher—William, can you name a
practical use to which you might put your

William—No, I can't think of anything
I could use my knowledge for, but if mother
had studied geometry in school I don't
think she would always cut the pie so she
gets the smallest piece.

Suggestions to Farmers
Why wouldn't it be an excellent plan to
teach hogs to smoke, so that after the hogs
are slaughtered, they would need no
further curing. (
The New Fad
Old Doc Drake, of Liberty Cross Roads,
says he feels it is his bounden duty to do
something to brighten the lives of those
unhappy mortals who are losing their
minds, and, often their jobs over these
serial numbers on the dollar bills.
He has spent many strenuous hours in
his laboratory in research work, but as yet
he is not ready with any announcement as
to his progress. The strain of his long
hours' of study, in addition to his regular
practice, is beginning to tell on the old
gent , but he leels that if he can throw
together a formula as good as his Doctor
Drake's Corn Syrup, for corns, or his even
more celebrated Corn Licker, Good to the
Last Drop, his efforts will not have been in
vain.

No Assistance Needed
A certain young man by the name of
Roscoe secured employment with a rail-road
as a repairman. Having cause to
remove a certain part of a freight car, he
got down in under the car and began to
turn a nut with his wrench. Just then a
fellow worker came along, and noticing
thai the bolt was turning with the nut
dropped a wrench upon the end of the bolt.
"What the deuce did you put tha t
wrench on there for? "bellowed Roscoe."
"Now I can 't turn the nut at all."
It Doesn't Mean A Thing
Say's the Man with the Marble Top,
"because two young people have carried
on a correspondence for some time, it
doesn 't necessarily follow that they are in
any way alike."
Sobering
Joe Rosenlwrg says he went out one
night and got soused. When lie come to,
he was married , although the night before
he had been a bachelor. "Helieve me,"
Joe often says, "that sobered me up the
quickest I ever was sobered. Yea sir."

Life Has Its Little Recompenses
Old Man Tate of Skunks Corners says
he doesn't mind being deaf half as much as
a body might . . think. He says if he gets
mild , he can go at it and give a fellow flail
Columbia , but the fellow can't retaliate on
him , on account of his defective hearing.
Another thing. Old Man Tate often hears
a good many things not. meant for his ears,
as his folks think lie is a lot deafer than he
really is. He says he likes to encourage
them in their belief. I Ie is a firm endorser
of the Law of Comixmsntlon which was

and lie says the deafer he gets,
the keener his horse sense Ixicomes.

Zane Gre y Film
Recreates West
of 50 Years Ago
As radically as a covered wagon differs
from an automobile, so a mid-western town
of 1876 differs from one of the present day.
No section of the entire world has
changed so much in the past fifty years as
have the towns of Kansas, Missouri ,
Colorado, Montana and Wyoming, as
motion picture directors havediscovercd to
their cost when endeavoring to recreate
for the films some vanished centre. The
sleepy freighting posts of the old west are
today bustling cities.
For the production of Zane Grey 's "The
Thundering Herd ," which William K.
Howard directed for Paramount , which
will open the 1925-26 season at the IIershey
Central Theatre on Tuesday evening,
Sept. 15th, at 7.30 o'clock, is an exact
replica of an old-time trading jxisl was
built. Pioneers declared it was correct in
every detail , according to their memories
of old towns such as Fort Worth Village,
I)odgc City and Salt l.nkc City.
The ixist constructed for the picture was
of the stockade type with logs ten feet in
height , stuck in the ground and Ixmnd
together to form n square enclosure. One
side of this square, fronting the roadway,
was formed by the |x>st building, a log
structure like the stockade. This had a
sort of platform outside with steps leading
down to the street and a door and windows
into the store.
In the photoplay, the town is just stag-ing
to lxx>m, ns great numbers of hunters
rush to the buffalo fields, Half a dozen
buildings have sprung up alxnit the post.
These buildings are occupied by dance
halls and saloons.
The picture realistically portrays the
adventures of two of the many caravans
that started for the far west. An exciting
Indian battle and a thrillin g buffalo stam-pede
arc among the many dynamic scenes
In this photoplay.
Naturally, the characterizations in a
story of this kind are of prime im|x>rtnnce ,
and Director Howard realized that, when
he was assembling his cast . Film fans are
certain to approver his choice of audi
cajxiblu players as Jack Holt , l-oia Wilson,
Noah Berry and Raymond Hat ton.
ANNOUNCE BIRTH OF SON
Dr. and Mrs. Horace Kinzer , of Uincns-tcr
, have announced the birth of a son,
Reed Walmcr Kinzer , on Tuesday, Sept,
1st. Mrs. Kinzer was formerly Miss Clara
Walmer, of Hummelstown,
ERB REUNION
The Erbs, 670 of them, meeting nt
Klcinfeltersvlllc, decided to meet at Eph-raln
next year. Mrs. Fannie ICrb Grabny,
of Campbelltown, aged 84 years, was the
oldest person present.
Lure of Chance is
Theme Underl ying
"The Wheel"
There is a little bit of the gambler in
most of us. Even when we have no
intention of actually making a wager, we
often preface a remark by saying "I'll bet
you it 's going to rain tomorrow," or "I'll
bet the Smiths get a divorce before the
year 'sout. "
Card-play ing, of course—especially
auction bridge and poker—has done its
part toward making gamblers in varying
degrees of many of us. Horse-racing,
though hedged about by restrictions now-adays,
still affords other outlets for the
gambling proclivities inherent in the
average American, to say nothing of the
world series baseball classic and the tot-ball
games every fall .
Then take the stock market—Wall
Street, the grain pit , the cotton exchange-where
would they be if it weren 't for the
spirit of "taking a chance " that leads the
business man to s|H:culate on the rise and
full of his pet stock?
So it Is no wonder that when John
Golden produced "The Wheel" on the
New York stage it achieved instant success,
for it is all about gambling in its more
alluring forms—over the roulette table
and on the race track. Now William Fox
is presenting the play in motion pictures.
Victor Scliertzlngcr directed an all star cast
in "The Wheel , which will be shown at
the Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday
evening, Sept. 17th , nt 7,.')0 o'clock.
Claire Adams and Harrison Ford are
the leading players, and they are supported
by Margaret Livingston , Mrihlon Hamil-ton
, David Torrence. Clara Morton , George
Harris, and Julia Swayne Gordon. The
chief settings of the picture are in unfashion-able
gambling house somewhat in the etyle
of Monte Carlo and on a race track.
Gambling—how it almost broke up a
happy newly-wedded couple, how it
eventually caused the hero and heroine to
work out their own salvation—forms the
motif of this absorbing picture. The
clever titles were written for the picture by
Montague Glass.
DR. N1SSLEY GREATLY IMPROVED

F. Scott Qninn
Sends Timely
Hay Fever Data
F. Scott Quinn, who represents the
Hershey Chocolate Company in Virginia
and the Carolines with his headquarters
in Richmond, Va., is subject to hay fever,
and wants all of the world to know how he
feels, so he sends us a clipping telling us all
about it. When Mr, Quinn gets the hay
fever he gets it good—and he is quite
unable to express himself or to listen to his
radio, which, by the way, he constructed
himself, which consists of several'hair pins,
a can of Hershey's cocoa, and a few other
parts that he has taken from his phono-graph
and piano. He gets everything—
no static, no sir, not a sign of it. We
sympathize with Mr. Quinn and hope that
the hay fever will not prevent him from
keeping up his good work selling carload
lots of Hershey Chocolate and Cocoa.
The clipping that has tickled Mr. Quinn's
funny bone, who by the way is known as
the Mark Twain of the Blue Ridge, is as
follows:
Hay fever is what General Sherman had
in mind when he described war. Once
again it is in our midst and worn looking
natives are to be seen on all sides going
through the spasms of a green hand peeling
raw onions in a gale of red pepper while
suffering from grippe, asthma, Spanish
influenza , scarlet fever, general debility
and great personal bereavement.
Hay fever is a terrible thing when you
don 't have it. It takes a normal man and
makes him part man, part wet firecracker
and part static disturbance. He looks
a little like a human being but he acts and
sounds like an overheated motorcycle.
Hay fever begins to appear about the
middle of August in most parts of the
United States and in all parts of the breath-ing
system. It is said to be caused by
pollen from the ragweed and goldenrod but
many people claim they get it from contact
with hay, horses, dogs and cats. Some
people are so susceptible they can contract
it from soda fountain straws, rocking
horses, iron dogs and cat fur masquerading
as mink or sable.
Hay fever is one malady that needs no
diagnosis. When you have it you know it.
And all your friends know it, too. You
return home some evening feeling in the
pink of condition and get up in the morn-ing
feeling like a burning ship with a cargo
of woolen sweaters and looking like the
inspiration for a reunion of the state fire-men's
association.
The National Hay Fever association
will now rise and sing the national anthem :
By coudry tis ob thee
Swede lad ub libuddy
Ob dee I sig.
Lad where my faders died
Lad ub da bilgrib's bride
Frub ebbery moudain snide
Led sneezes rig.
Cham pion Ton
Litter Owned by
Hershey Man
Christ Balsbaugh, of the Hershey
community, has the distinction of owning
the heaviest litter of nine pigs in the State,
farrowed since March 1 and the litter is
attracting considerable attention from
thousands of people at the Harrisburg-
Dauphin County Fair.
The litter, which is pure-bred Duroc
Jerseys, weighing 2543 pounds at the end
of 180 days, feed and labor costing $252.50.
With hogs selling for 15J-4 cents on the day
the litter was weighed, the nine pigs were
worth $349.65, netting a profit ot $141.66.
Seven of the pigs in the Balsbaugh litter
were the fifth highest in the United States.
The second ton litter in Dauphin County
is owned by Clayton Gingrich , also of the
Hershey Community. The litter weighs
2015 pounds and was worth $312.32, nett-ing
a profit of $107.33.
The judges of weights were F. B. Suave-ly,
Harry Sponagle and C. E. Casscl, all
of Hummelstown. The work in connec-tion
with producing the litters was done
under the supervision of the County
Agricultura l Extension Association ac-cording
to methods outlined by State
College socialists.
Record Exhibits
at Count y Fair
The fourth year of the Harrisburg and
Dauphin County Fair was by far the
biggest in number of exhibits , and was also
a record breaker in point of attendance .
The new fair grounds, just beyond
Paxtang, had the appearance of a real fair ,
with almost as much space taken up with
amusements and hot-dogs and pink lemon-ade
stands as with exhibits of cows and
steers, bulls and calves, horses and pigs.
The building erected to house the ex-hibits
in home economics attracted a large
and varied number of entrees. There was
everything that is grown on a farm or
raised in n farmer 's yard , Handiwork of
all sorts were displayed , along with jelly,
canned fruit , cakes, pies and other prod-ucts
of the kitchen. Radios, washing
machines, sewing machines and musical
instruments were also exhibited in the same
building .
There were also the usual exhibits of
prize cattle , vegetables, poultry, dogs,
pigeons, canaries , Shetland ponies, pigs
and scores of other entries for the hundreds
of prizes that were given away by the
association.

R. V. Owens Is
The Dahlia King
Of Hershe y
R. V. Owens, Sr., of Areba Avenue, is a
lover of flowers, and his favorite is the
dahlia. Mr. Owens has become an expert
in their growing, and tall dahlias dot the
garden here and there, rising tree-like
from among the lowlier blossoms. Each
one tries to outdo the other in presenting
the largest number of flowers for admira-tion.
,
After years of increasing labor, Mr.
Owens has perfected a new strain of dahlia.
He had high hopes of winning a prize at the
annual dahlia show that will be held in
Harrisburg about October 1st, but the dry
weather has sent his hopes a glimmering.
For the benefit of those who are in-terested
in the propagation of the dahlia,
Mr. Owens gives the following suggestions:
The young plants are grown from cutt-ings
taken off old roots and started in heat
in February or March, and grown in pots
until time to plant out in the border, which
should be done as soon as danger from
frost is over.
Dahlias should have a strong, deep and
rich soil. They are rapid growers and are
much benefitted by frequent applications
of water during the summer, and by
liquid manure after the buds are formed.
The shoots and flower buds must be
thinned out in the younger stages of
growth, if perfection in bloom is wanted,
but otherwise it is not necessary to do so.
They should be planted about three feet
apart and each plant carefully staked up to
prevent breaking down.
The best and easiest way of all is to
procure the roots, planting them the same
as directed above. These will bloom, after
which they can be dug out in the fall,
stored in a cellar until spring, when they
then can be divided up and planted out in
the summer.
Hiss Ethlyn Storey
to Form Dancing
Class For Little Tots
Miss Ethlyn Storey will form a dancing
class for the little tots, ages from 5 to 7
years, beginning Thursday afternoon
(today) at 4 o'clock.
Dancing is a form of excuse in which one
makes a series of more or less graceful
movements with measured steps in accord
with music. In its most refined phases,
dancing expresses the poetry of rhythmic
movements, and rises to the level of an art.
Dancing attained high excellence among
the ancient Greeks, where it ranked with
the arts of poetry and music. The Spart-ans
practised dancing as a gymnastic
exercise, and made it compulsory upon all
children from the age of five.
Give your child the opportunity as
presented by Miss Storey. The dancer
who can manage his feet, can also control
his carriage ana can dance with ease. The
medical profession join in the view that
dancing is a means of preserving health
and keeps one young. Miss Storey's
class is for boys and girls, and the tuition is
nominal. Give her a phone call—Bell, 8-R
Hershe y Closes Season
With a Defeat
The Hershey baseball club closed their
season on Labor Day, being defeated by
the Richland team by the score of 9 to 3.
The game was to have been for the champ-ionship
of Lebanon and Dauphin counties,
but was a listless affair in which the local
team displayed their worst form of the
season. Lack of practice was quite evi-dent
on the part of the home team, which
together with the absence from the lineup
of Ream, who is nursing an injured knee,
and Johnnie Miller and Angle, who have
returned to college, was mainly responsible
tor the defeat. Storm started for the
locals and pitched a nice game, in fact he
got then over too nice, having a hard time
locating the corners, with the result that
the visitors clubbed out eleven hits in the
four innings in which he was working.
Wagner, who finished the game for Her-shey,
displayed wonderful form and held
the Lebanon county champions to but a
single tally and three hits during the re-mainder
of the game. The score.

KATHRYN M. BAUER
Kathryn Bauer, playing the leading
feminine role in the Sherwood Players
during the summer season at Hershey
Park Theatre, is another proof that ability
counts, and much of the credit of the suc-cessful
season just now ending is due to
this young lady's portrayal of the many
and varied characters that she was cast to
-portray. Miss Bauer put over these roles
most creditably, capabably and efficiently.
There is a genuineness about her work that
stamps her as a real artist—and she made a
host of friends and admirers with her
artistry.
Now a word about Miss Bauer's hubby,
W. Edward Watrous, better known as
"Eddie." When Mr. Watrous came to
Hershey he had never trod before the foot-lights.
He was given a small part, and lo,
and behold, before the season had finished
he was playing the leads. Some climb,
we would state. What makes this rapid
climb all the more surprising is the fact
that Eddie is under the care of a physician
and has been throughout the season—a
complaint brought about by strenuous
athletic endeavor while at college—for he
put the same zeal and "pep" in that line
while at college, (in fact has won several
medals) as he has done in things theatrical.
With perfect health, (and here's hoping he
gains it) he will make a name for himself,
we are quite sure.
The play that is being presented"by the
Sherwood Players for the remainder of the
week is "Flo-Flo", a musical comedy. The
character portrayals of "Bob Simpson," by
Ben Lumley and "Isadore Moser", by
Roscoe Patch , two comedians who are
really funny, keep the play running smooth
ly, bringing forth much laughter. In fact ,
they with "Billy Cope", by Edward Wat-rous,
are the life of the show.
The cast of characters is as follows:
Flo Flo, the deluxe show girl
Katherine M. Bauer
Angeline Stokes, the bride-to*be,
Maye Blaisdell
