The program for Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, August 2,3. 24 and 25, is as
follows: „ „
"Desert Gold", a Zane Grey story,
featuring Neil Hamilton and Shirely
Mason. "Desert Gold" is not a picture of
highlights. It is not fair to pick out ten
scenes and say: see these—forget the rest.
The picture holds one's interest each and
every minute. It is chuck full of love,
action, romance, suspense, gorgeous photo-graphy,
fine acting, beautiful scenery—or
what have you? All audiences should
Bento Bros., equilibrists par excellence.
Mulicent Mower in a singing specialty.
Nerritt and Oliver in an eccentric come-dy
specialty, "Mirthquake."
Walter Howland and Co., in "At the
Cross Roads," consisting of comedy, sing-ing
and talking.
Reginald Denny in
"Skinner's Dress
W' This Week
Do Clothes Make the Man? You'll
Think So When You Have Seen
This Rollicking Comedy
Reginald Denny has earned the right to
be crowned King of Comedy. This amaz-ing
young actor conveys more with the lift
of an inquiring eyebrow than many-others
can with their entire bodies.
Denny's flair for farce is not better
exemplified than in his latest starring
vehicle, the new Universal-Jewel, ' Skin-ner's
Dress Suit," which will be seen at the
Hershey *ark Theatre on Thursday, Fri-day
and Saturday of this week.
The picture is a photoplay version of the
famous book that was one of the season s
best sellers, and is still one of the most
popular of the works of Henry Irving
•Dodge. , . ,
It is a story of the mishaps and adven-tures
of a young married couple, the Skin-ners,
and of their eventful rise in the social
and business world. Skinner is an under-paid
clerk. "Honey," his wife, sees in her
handsome husband,a paragon of commer-cial
acumen and forces him to ask his boss
for a raise in salary.
Unfortunately, the time selected by
Skinner to brace his employer for the in-crease
is a most unhappy one. And poor
Skinner is denied his request.
Arriving home, he hasn't the heart to
tell "Honey," and he makes her believe
that he has gotten a ten dollar increase.
Overjoyed, she plans to spend the money
in advance from their tiny store of savings.
The first thing he must buy is a dress
suit, in order to keep up with the social life
of the town. That is where the real plot of
the story begins. The acquisition of the
suit, its resultant complications and the
frantic efforts of the hapless Skinner to
dodge his creditors, who arrive at the most
inopportune moments, combine to make
the perfect comedy.
Laura LaPlante, as "Honey," his wife, is
perfect in this role, which is different from
anything she has yet done. Hedda Hop-per
and Arthur Lake as well as E. J. Rat-cliffe
and Ben Hendricks, Jr., give emi-nently
satisfying performances. The rest
of the cast is ideally suited to their various
roles. It includes Lionel Braham, Betty
Morrissey, Henry A. Barrow. William A.
Strauss, Lisle Leslie, Broderick O'Farrell
and Lucille Ward.

Dam Saturday
George Feeser Won Cracker Eating
Championship. Grover Sheckart
Bit By Pike He Caught Mack
McCurdy Star Pitcher
On Saturday, August 14, about 40
members of Washington Camp, No. 705,
and their friends journeyed to Laurel
Dam where they had their annual outing.
Due to the ram at noon and also toward
evening the entire program of sports could
not be carried out, but between showers a
baseball game was held. Chas. Swartz'
Sluggers were opposed by Nancy Hoerner's
Hornets, the Hornets winning by the score
of 8 to 7. The feature of the game was the
wonderful exhibition of pitching skill by
Mack McCurdy, of the Sluggers. Mack
should have won easily but poor support
was his undoing. It is a pity that Connie
Mack had no scouts at the game for we feel
certain that Mack McCurdy would be with
the Athletics if there had been scouts
present. For the Hornets, Trump, the
cacther, talked a wonderful game and was
largely responsible for the victory because
he wouldn't let the umpire bluff him.
Another feature of the day was the
heavyweight cracker eating contest be-tween
Geo. Feeser and Mack McCurdy,
Geo. being the winner by 10 seconds. In
the quoit pitching contest Jno. Gordon
outdistanced his rivals with ease and won
the prize.
A number of the men went fishing and
Grover Sheckart caught the biggest one.
So big was this pike that it bit Grover on
the finger, necessitating First Aid treat-ment.
The day ended with a sumptuous feast
which was greatly enjoyed by all, and Sam.
Brenberger,.the cook, was awarded apprize
for his services.
Plans are being laid for a bigger and
better outing next year.
Dauphin Co. Fanners
To Go On Extensive
Trip Today
Elaborate Itinerary for Trip Planned
for Thursday. Will Visit Shenk,
Curry and Gingrich Farms
All plans are completed for one of the
best farm tours that Dauphin County
farmers have ever held. The-tour will be
held Thursday, (today) August 19, and will
cover all parts of the county. It will take
the entire day. Many farmers have indi-cated
their intention of going on the trip
according to County Agent R. R. Burtner,
and with them will come their families.
The itinerary of the trip, as planned by a
special committee of the Dauphin County
Agricultural Extension Association will
cover almost every phase of farming in the
county.
The tour will begin at 8 o'clock in the
morning at the farm orchard of Howard
Cummings, one-half mile north of Millers*
burg, where the results of farm orchard
management will be observed. An alfalfa
field will be visited at the farm of D. M.
Pentz. At the Morris Homer farm an
orchard demonstration and a two-year
orchard fertilizer test will be inspected.
The party will swing into the southern
end of the county before noon, and plans
call for a basket lunch at 12 o'clock at
Hoffer 's Park. Middletown. During the
afternoon, a trip will be made to Lytle
Brothers' farm, where a sweet clover
pasture demonstration for dairy cows will
be seen. Late potatoes will feature the
visit to the farm of A. B. Shenk at Vian.
There a fertilizer test, a seed source demon-stration
and a distance-in-row experiment
will be inspected.
The next place to be visited will be the
Clayton Gingrich farm at which time a
modern poultry house, designed for the
average farm, will be inspected. The
construction of the house, which will take
care of three to four hundred chickens, will
be given in detail with the exact costs by
Gingrich. On the same farm a litter of
eight Duroc-Jersey pigs that will be a ton ol
pork within 180 days, will be seen. The
party will also go through the grounds of
the Hershey Industrial School.
An alfalfa field that has been cropped for
six years will be visited at the Irvin Curry
farm during the afternoon . At the Bolton
farms the partjwwill see hogs on pasture,
300 capons and observe the result of raising
chicks on the Wisconsin ration. A barn
that has been reconditioned for an ac-credited
herd of cattle also will be in-spected
at the Bolton farms.
If time permits the tour will be con-cluded
with a visit to the Bonnymeade
Farms, where a carload of Hereford baby
beeves will be inspected. The animals
averaged 465 pounds in June and are on
blue grass pasture. The farm is managed
by Hiram Billets.

Hershey Boy Scouts
Win Large Number
Of Awards
Carl Smith and John Shay are First
Scouts In-Hershey to Receive Merit'
Badges. Other Boys Advanced to '
Second Class Rank '. -
The Boy Scouts of Hershey Troop, No.
2, of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church re-turned
home from the Harrisburg Council
Scout Camp on Wednesday evening of last
week in charge of Scoutmaster Rev. Paul
M. Kinports and Assistant Scoutmaster
Carl Smith. The boys were given trans-portation
to and from the Camp in auto-mobiles
furnished by some of the men of
the church. The boys were in good
physical condition and have put on a good
coat of tan. The camp was pronounced a
success in every way and was the best ever
attended by Scouts of this district.
During the camp stay a fine program of
activities was provided and thoroly en-joyed
by the officers and Scouts. The
greater part of the morning was given over
to Scout school and many of the boys were
advanced in the ranks of scouting. John
Shay, senior patrol leader of the troop,
was awarded three merit badges: public
health, first aid and swimming. Carl
Smith, Assistant Scoutmaster, was award-ed
three merit badges: life saving, public
health and swimming. These are the first
merit badges to be awarded by any Scouts
in Hershey. Richard Shay and Charles
Baker were advanced to the Second Class
rank. A number of the other scouts have a
few more tests to pass, after which they
will be advanced into the first class rank.
Some of the outstanding features of the
camp were the campfire programs, in-cluding
an Indian campfire ceremonial.
This was a reproduction of the original
Crow Indian ceremony.- The Hershey
Scouts had charge of the program on two
evenings, and gave a fine demonstration of
the splendid talent that exists in the troop.
The swimming facilities were of a high type
and a number of the boys learned to swim,
while others learned to swim with a greater
proficiency.
During the camp period the mess hall
was a popular place and the food, which
was well prepared by .efficient cooks, was
enjoyed to the extent that many of the
boys took on from two to six pounds of
weight.
A large number of Hershey people
visited the camp on Sunday and were
conducted through the camp by the scouts.
Rev. Paul M. Kinports had charge of the
religious services which were held in the
amphetheatre on the camp grounds.
The camp was run on a competitive
basis and belt awards were given for
various work accomplished. Among the
awards that the Hershey Scouts brought
back from camp weje as follows : White
shark for a morning dip; axe for pioneering,
campfire for lighting the campfire with one
match; black kettle for best inspected
table for the day ; three red stripes for the
best kitchen police service; tent for best
tent at tent inspection—this was won four
times by the Hershey Scouts; red, white
and blue seals for swimming; arrow heads
for merit badges passed in camp; a horn for
the playing of an instrument at the camp-fire.
These awards have been stamped oh
the belts of the scouts and will be worn at
their meetings from week to week through
the year.
The Scouts wdl begin their meetings
again in September with renewed interest
which was created by the camp attendance
and are hoping for another camp period
next summer when they may again enjoy
the life of the great-out-of-doors.

The Proper Way to Look At It
Don't get disgusted with the weather,
William,
Don't curse this heat and overdose of
rains,
Don't say that when the weather man was
fashioned,
They sealed his head shut and forgot the
brains.
Don't hint that you could hold his job
down better.
Could dole the weather out to suit the
whim
Of farmer, sportsman, carpenter , and
sailor—
Your chance of doing this is mighty slim.
Why even such great purposed men as
"' Lincoln
And Washington had not the power to
please
The populace. Could you, you think do
better
Than such high-minded gentlemen as
these?
I tell you, Bill, we humans must accept
what
Is handed us, with all the grace we can,
Enjoy the good, put up with the un-pleasant.
Don't you agree that is the proper plan?
Of course you do,—and now that you're
converted
To optimism—just between us two.
Say, Bill, I'm sick of all this nasty weather,
I think it is a rotten deal, don't you?
A Change for the Better
At last we have summoned our courage,
mustered (or do they spell it mustard) our
resources, and purchased a new bottle of
ink and a half dozeasteel pen points. This
should improve the quality of the column,
making it less scratchy. You know what
we mean. It ought to improve it the same
way a new needle improves the perform-ance
of the phonograph. The old saying,
a good workman with poor tools is better
than a poor workman with good tools, is
true enough, but when a poor workman
gets a grip on a poor tool, heaven help the
result. Such a combination has been nt
work the past several weeks, and we are
sincerely thankful our improved finances
enables us to apply the proper remedy.
Weekly Complaint
Not a week goes by but what we find
something to be cynical about , the bill-boards,
the picnickers who don't pick up
the remains of the lunch , etc, Anything
to complain about. This week we would
like to suggest that some person who is
independently rich leave an endowment
fund for the building and perpetuation of
an institution in which will be confined
those jJersons who go to theatres to frolic
nnd'tajk and razz the performers instead
of lending a hand to the entertainer.
(Some of them need it) , In the meantime
till such an institution con )>e completed
we suggest the pests above mentioned be
equipped with gags similar to the one the
dentist put on the columnistic jaw the
other day. This gag was very effective
indeed and ever since wo Iiecnmo ac-quainted
with it we have been wondering
why such a useful article should be con-fined
to the dental profession alone.
The Likeness
The teacher was very much annoyed.
"Thin schoolroom runs like a second-hand
Ford," she complained.
"Yes, il does teacher", piped up n bright
pupil , "and It has a crank in the front of
it and a lot of little nuts behind."
Denned
A pretty good definition of a liar was
brought to our attention the other day.
Here it is: A liar is a fellow who has no
partition between his imagination and hit)
intellect.
Valley Forge
Sunday afternoon saw us in Valley Forge
viewing the hills made famous by Wash-ington
and his little band of patriots,
imagining to the best of our ability how
things looked back In those dark days, and
pondering by what a thin thread the
deathly of our nation hung at Unit time.
Reflecting on the spirit of freedom that
kept these heroes fighting for what seemed
a hopeless cause, we could not help won-dering
what a queer slant the spirit of
freedom has taken In the last few years.
Youth seeks to sweep aside all ham|x>ring
conventions and hails as tyranny nil at-tempts
of parental discipline. The ladles
have fallen in with the spirit of freedom by

State Unable to
Put Concrete on
Horseshoe Pike
Funds for Paving. Highway With Con-crete
Not Available,* Original .
Plans to Restore Road Will
Not Be Altered
Following the appointment last week of
a committee to intercede with the State
Highway Department and request the
laying of an. eleven-mile concrete unit on
the old Horseshoe pike; William H. Con-nell,
acting secretary of the department,
announces that the original plans of his
department to restore the road will not
be altered.
Because some sectors of the road, which
provides a shorter route to Philadelphia
through Downington, have not been re-paired
for years by the county, according
to Secretary Connell, the Highway De-partment
decided it was imperative to
repair and resurface the section under
consideration. The department never
contemplated the construction of a new
road, either of concrete or waterbound
macadam, for several reasons
According to Secretary Connell, the
original road was constructed on an eight-inch
stone base, which will provide an ex-cellent
foundation for repairing the stretch.
When completed this season, as planned,
the stretch ( -will afford transportation a
splendid highway and will have sufficient
durability to handle the comparatively
light traffic that will pass over it, the secre-tary
said.
Lacks Necessary Funds
They are two decisive factors in pre-venting
the construction of a concrete
road. First, the Highway Department
lacks the funds necessary, while a survey
by engineers indicated that such a road was
not needed, Connell says. Because the
road through Campbelltown has been
maintained in good condition, the High-way
Department will not make repairs in
that borough. The remaining portions of
the road, which starts at Hummelstown,
will be comparable to other macadam
highways when finished. Eleven miles of
the road will be repaired and resurfaced,
according to Secretary Connell.
"The State Highway- Department,",
Secretary Connell explains, "is compelled
to expend its money with the same dis-cretion
as the individual. Any expendi-ture
that is unnecessary or not justifiable
by contingent circumstances is undoubted-ly
a waste of money.''
A CONCRETE HORSESHOE
It is natural that residents along the
Horseshoe Pike between Hummelstown
and Campbellstown should desire a con-crete
pike instead of the macadam which
the State Highway Department will con-struct
there. Concrete makes a very
excellent roadway, says the Harrisburg
Patriot.
If money were no consideration what-ever
in the merry life of roadbuilders, it is
probable that concrete would be u&d ex-clusively
in all highway jobs, just as every
cook in every home woulcfuse nothing but
aluminum or copper cooking utensils and
nothing hut diamonds or rubies would go
into finger rings.
The Horseshoe Pike is fortunate to get
any improvement at this stage. It is
faring much better than many other high-ways
recently added to the state system,
its improvement is largely a matter of
finance and any kind of improvement is
better than the corrugated trail it has been
for some years.
Boosters for the concrete road are not
to be critized for wanting it, but they will
be foolish if they permit a bad taste in their
mouths if, as seems probable, they will get
a macadam highway.
Wm. Curtis Goes on
Canadian Fishing Trip
Last week Wm. Curtis, accompanied by
his sister Jean, motored Uo White Fish
Lake, Canada, where they spent several
days fishing.
Mr. Curtis didn 't run his Maxwell as
fast as he generally does, as he is an ad-mirer
of Nature, and he wanted to get an
eyeful as he journeyed northward .
Everything went fine and dandy until
they arrived at Clayton, New York, where
they had to take the ferry across the St.
Lawrence river. Here they were delayed
somewhat, owing to the fact that the
smaller cars have to wait until all the
larger cars had been ferried to the Cana-dian
side. Mr. Curtis believes they would
have been waiting there twice as long but
for the fact that he informed the ferryman
that he was from Hershey. The ferryman
remembered having been fairly well treated
by Oscar Bordncr upon several former
occasions, and as a result allowed Mr.
Curtis to proceed on his way. Mr. Curtis
was appreciated of the favor and told the
ferryman a funny story.
Arriving at Jones Falls they were met by
Andy Johnson, one of the foremost guides
in Canada, who took the Curtis' into camp.
Early next day Mr. and Miss Curtis, ac-companied
by Mr. Johnson, were trying
their luck. The fish were plentiful and
the Curtis' were well rewarded for their
efforts. Mr. Curtis , in particular , for the
first time in his life , didn 't have to make
any excuses—for the fishing craft was
filled with bass and pike. In fact, they
were as well rewarded upon the second and
third days,
Ui>on their return home Mr. Curtis
almost got across the border with a wee bit
of Scotch, but his nerve forsook him, and
he hid the precious stuff under a tree, and
he 1io|)ch , when he again returns, as he
hopes to next year, to find it awaitinglilm.

On Saturday n birthday party was given
at Hershey Park in honor of Carlysle

dinner was served . Scout Sherrick re-ceived

Ask Receiver for
Lancaster Chocolate
and Caramel Co
Mrs. Bertha Ruehl Selbert, of Cincin-nati,
O., late Friday filed a bill in equity in
U. S. District Court in Cincinnati asking
that a receiver be appointed for the Lan-caster
Chocolate and Caramel Company,
Lancaster, Pa., to administer its assets,
whether held in its own name or in the
name of its subsidiaries, the Reinhart and
Newton Company of Cincinnati, and the
Dolly Varden Chocolate Company, 421
Laurel street, of Cincinnati, and the
National Caramel Company, of Lancaster.
Mrs. Selbert names the Lancaster
Chocolate and Caramel Company and
William C. Bidlack, of Lancaster, Pa.,
majority stockholder of the company, as
defendants. She alleges she is the owner
of 50 shares pr preferred stock of the Rein-hart
and Newton Company which was
prosperous and paying dividends.
She charges that Bidlack, G. Clayton
Krone and Koscoe E. Rodda purchased the
majority stock control of the Reinhart and
Newton Company, and caused the Lancas-ter
company to exchange stock with her.
She charges that Bidlack, Krone and
Rodda issued to themselves 2399-$100
shares of preferred stock of the Lancaster
Chocolate and Caramel Company for 518
shares of the Reinhart and Newton Com-pany
and issued themselves 2399 shares of
common stock, no par value, of the Lan-caster
company for .53 shares of common
stock of the Reinhart and Newton Com-pany.
She charges this transaction was fraudu-lent
because the Lancaster Chocolate and
Caramel Company issued a capital liability
of $239,000, $53,700 worth of preferred
stock. She charges Bidlack, Krone and
Rodda having purchased control of the
Headle Chocolate Company, Baltimore,
Md., resold it to themselves for $138,158.36
paid chiefly in preferred stock at a loss to
the Lancaster company of $59,641.64 in
capital liability,
Mrs. Selbert alleges that Bidlack and his
associates caused the Reinhart and Newton
Company to purchase all of the common
stock of the Dolly Varden Chocolate Com-pany.
She charges "the assets" of the
Reinhart and Newton Company and the
Dolly Varden Chocolate Company have
been intermingled and confused and arbi-trary
entries made on the books of said
companies, transferring assets and lia-bilities,
as between each other and the
National Caramel Company for the pur-
|X)se of hiding and concealing losses sus-tained
through mismanagamenl of William
C. Bidlack.
She gives the operating loss for 1925 as
$(#,003.95 and says the loss in 1926 will
exceed this. She asks for an accounting
and a receivership.

Schools to Open
Monday, Aug. 30
N¦?e"w* *P£u ^pPilsO ttor TRueegsidstaeyr, August 31st. And 27th August 26 at School Building Rooms Wanted for Teachers
The date set for the opening of the Derry Township Consolidated Schools at Hershey is Monday, August 30th. On this date the teachers will meet for a faculty meeting to discuss in general the policy of the school and to get everything in readiness for the reception of the pupils on the following day. The pupils, therefore, do not report
until Tuesday morning, August 31st. At that tune pupils are to report in the rooms to which they were promoted at the close
of school. It will facilitate matters greatly in the grades if the children will bring with
them their report cards of last year on which is designated the room which they are to occupy the coming year. High school pupils should bring tneir promotion slips with them.
Admission of New Pupils
Thursday, August 26th and Friday, August 27th, have been set apart for the registration of new pupils and beginners.
Children who will become six years of age
before the 1st of January, 1927, will be admitted at the opening of the school term, while those who will become six after
January 1st, 1927, will be admitted in the middle of the term, which will be approxi-mately
February 1st.
¦All beginners should be brought to the office of the Supervising Principal in the
Grade School building on Thursday or Friday as stated above to be enrolled and assigned to their rooms. It is quite de-sirable
that parents themselves brmg their
children. If this is not possible, older
members of the, family can bring them.
This enrollment previous to the ooenine of
school is very important and should not be
neglected. The Supervising Principal will
be glad to enroll any children any forenoon
of next week in case it is not convenient for
them to present themselves on the dates especially designated.
Vaccination and Birth Certificates
In order to comply with the regulations
of the State Department, every child must
present a certificate of successful vaccina-tion,
as well as an evidence of the date of
birth, either a birth certificate or a baptis-mal
certificate, upon entering school. In
case of the lack of proper credentials of birth, the same may be secured from the
family physician or from the Bureau of
Vital Statistics, Harrisburg, Pa. Parents
should not delay to secure these necessary
credentials.
New Pupils Other Than Beginners
New pupils other than beginners should
report for enrollment on the same dates
mentioned for beginners.
Have You A Room to Rent?
There are still a few teachers who do not
have definite arrangements for rooms for
the ensuing year. If any people of Her-shey
desire to rent rooms to teachers,
please notify the Supervising Principal,
Mr. A. M. Hinkel, either by card or by
phone.
Transportation
. The transportation of the pupils by
trucks has been awarded to Thomas Fox,
Union Deposit, and Joseph Urich, Hum-melstown.
Each of these men is eauiooed
with three trucks and the patrons of the
school have the assurance that their child-ren
will be transported safely under the
careful supervision of these two obliging
gentlemen.
