              Santa Claus Will Be
at the Hershey School
On Christmas Eve
Santa Claus will be at the Hershey
High School auditorium on Friday eve-ning,
Dec. 24th , at 6.30 o'clock, and he
will present gifts to about 900 children.
Preceding the arrival of Santa Claus
the children will sing a number of Christ-mas
songs. Several Christmas selec-tions
will also be sung by the older folks.
The people of the community have
contributed toward this worthy cause in
a most liberal manner, and there remains
but a small amount in order to pay the
expenses. The committee is hopeful,
however , that those who have not as yet
contributed toward this fund will do so,
and thus enable them to wipe out their
indebtedness.
You are cordially invited to be present
at the gift-gi ving. The High School
auditorium is spacious and will provide
ample accommodation for all. There
will be no jam this year.
If you have never attended any of
these affairs, do so at this time. It will
pull your heartstrings as they have
never been pulled before, at the sigh t of
all these kiddies receiving their gifts
from Santa.
Raymond Griffith in
"Wet Paint" Tuesday
The scenario of "Wet Paint, Ray-mond
Griffit h's latest starring picture
for Paramount, which comes to the
Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday
evening, Dec. 28th, at 7.30 o'clock,
makes the star do a series of the most
ludicrously amusing things that have
ever been seen on the screen.
First, he reverses the usual process,
and "throws his sweetie down." Then
he tells her they 're through—he is going
to marry the first girl he meets. So,
what more natural than that he meet a
bevy of the fairest beauties in the land?
The lad arrives at a home he thinks is
his—but upon entering, discovers it to
belong to an attractive married woman.
After a lot of ridiculou s avoidances of
each other , they finally land in two ad-joining
shower-baths.
But the picture doesn't end until an
exciting ride has been taken in a car
without a chauffeur. Talk of your
"ships without a helm"—Ray's ex-perience
completely overshadows it.
What happens in the end? Well, if
you can keep a secret , and must know—
he marries his original girl.

Yes, There is a Santy Claus
(Ask Dad. He Knows)
Give a cheer for Santa Claus ,
He's a jolly chap,
He cares not if worldly folk
Are inclined to rap
His existen ce as a farce:
Little children know
He's as real as anything
In this world of woe.
Santa 's smiles are very broad
As he reads each word
Scrawled by John Jones' little tot ;'
Doubtless he has heard
John Jones strongly disbelieves
In a Santa Claus.
Santa chuckles, "I will give
This fresh geezer pause."
So on Christmas Eve he brings
To the wee Jones tot
Everything the kid desires ;
It is such a lot,
•Af ter he has filled the tree
' Still there is much more,
This the gay old jokester heaps
High upon the floor.
Jones's kid wakes with the dawn.
Spies the laden tree.
Rouses up his drowsy dad
With his yells of glee,
Papa helps his precious pet
Clear the tree of toys,
They don 't act like dad and son,
But like two small boys.
Father pulls a letter down
From the topmast limb,
And to his amazement finds
It 's addressed to him.
Yes, the letter is a bill
For poor papa Jones:
"Bought of Spivis Brothers, Toys,
Eighty-seven bones."
Jones is game, though, never fear ,
And when Junior climbs
Up into his lap and says,
"I think, Pop, sometimes
That there ain't no Santy Claus.
Is there, Pop, Gee Whiz?"
Jones replies (and means it, too)
"Betcher boots there is."
A Present
Someone was just big hearted enough
to make us a Christmas present of a few
jokes and we are just big hearted enough
to use them here instead of making up
any junk of our own.
In Bad Shape
In one of his advertisements Harry
G. Nye, of the Nye Fool and Machine
Works, Chicago, tells of a family so poor
that they are living on ox tail soup and
beef tongue trying to make both ends
meet.
Notice in Greenville Paper
Positively no baptizing in my pasture.
Twice in the last month my gate has
been left open by Christian people and I
can't afford to chase cattle all over the
country to save a few sinners.
Short Story
Algy saw a bear.
The bear saw Algy,
The bear was bulgy,
The bulge was Algy.
Trapped
A Scotchman paid a visit to New
York and caused his friends much con-cern
by disappearing. Police were set
on the trail an d the city was scoured.
Finally—after three days the Scotch-man
was found—on a pay-as-you-enter
trolley .
A man rushed int o an old furniture store,
What do you want? asked the proprietor ,
Is this a second hand store? asked the
man
Can 't you see it 's a second hand store?
Well , I wan t a second hand for my
watch.
Superfluous
Isn 't it a sin the way we people are all
tied up by convention so that we can
move only in certain well traveled
paths? Any English teacher looking at
the above attempt at humor will at once
throw -up her hands in horror and ex-claim
, Good heavens, he's forgotten his
quotation marks. Yet—examine the
above, if you can bear to read it again.
Isn 't it fully as clea r without the quota-tion
marks as it would be with them?
One of these days we may decide to join
the van guard of the army inarching
toward literar y simplicity, and the first
thin g we shall do will be lo throw over
hoard all the quotation marks within
reach, They are alwa ys causing us
trouble anyway. Either we forget the
one at the end of the quotation or one or
two in the middle where the quotation is
broken. And then we can n ever re-member
that when the same speaker
con tinues from one paragraph to another
the pesky marks are used to open the
second paragraph but not to close the
first one. Theodore Roosevelt was the
leader of a more or less successful move-ment
for simplified spelling and it is up
to some well-meaning citizen to put
through an amendment lo the Constitu-tion
making th e manufacture , sale and
possession of quotation marks illegal in
the eye of the law.

Hersheyite Has a
Record-o- phone
Hershey enjoys the distinction of
being the second town in Pennsylvania ,
where one of the new and wonderful
magnetic sound-recording machines is
loca ted.
This machine, the Rccord-O-Phone,
is electro-magnetic in principle , and
magnetizes sound into steel. It makes
no more physical impression on the
slend er steel wire or disc than a reflect ion
makes on the mirror which holds it.
Thus there i» no scratching or harshness
when the sound is reproduced , and the
record thus made Is as permanent as
steel itself.
This Wizar d of Science, when attached
to the radio receiving set , the telephone,
or placed in the lecture hall , or the busi-ness
ollice , records and preserves every-thing
it "hears". Any message or
sound thus recorded , may be simplified
up to live thousand times, to fill the
largest opera-house, or toned down to
fit the room.
The last public utterance of Woodrow
Wilson , hroadcast on Armistice Day,
was recorded and is preserved so thai
coming generations, may hear the actual
voice of one Mpeakiun from the toiuh.
Also speeches hy Lloyd George ,
Harding, Coolidgo und ot hers, have been
recorded unci are available for . Kecord-
O-Phone users. The marvelous Record-
O-Phone haw inade it possible for future
generations lo actually hear the very
tones of I lie sneakers voice!
The local demonstrator of this won-drous
machine has puzzled his friends by
recording tlicir conversation over the
telephone and t hen reproducing it for
them. A cordial invitation is extended
to tin! puhlii: lo call at No. 4!) Trinidad
avenue, Il eiHhcy,, for a demonstration of
the Record-0-l 'hoi\e. It will record
any lan guage, and is doubt less detained
to play an important part id the busi-ness,
social , political , and religions
world.
Free demonstrations daily, except
Wednesday mid Sunday. Bell Phone

field goal during the entire game. The

tallied thirteen field goals and one

Miller who was the only Hershey boy to

Douglas Fairbanks
in "The Black
Pirate " Saturday
Whenever the announcement comes
that Douglas Fairbanks .Uas done
another motion picture, the question is
immediately^asked , "What is it this
time?"
Fairbanks, through his pioneering
work on the screen , is looked to for
cinematic innovations. His leadership
in the production field is undisputed ,
due to his record,of past achievements.
The films with which he has commanded
much attention are—his "Robin Hood,"
his "The Thief of Bagdad " "Don Q"
and others.
Now he comes forth again with
another very speedy adventure story in
color. It is "The Black Pirate," a
story oi 17th century piracy, which will
be shown at the Hershey Central Thea-tre
on Saturday evening, December
25th at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock.
Who can think of a pirate story and
not think of color?" Doug asked when
questioned as to why he had made his
decision. "The days of the pirates
constitute perhaps the most colorful
period of history, a fact lending itself
naturally to color treatment."
The locale of the story is in Tropical
seas. In the beginning, the star is not a
pirate. In fact , he becomes a pirate
throu gh force of circumstances. The
story deals with his innumerable ad-ventures
in avenging the death of his
father who dies as the result of hard-ships
inflicted by sea rovers, There is
a lovely girl to be rescued , for which role
Billie Dove was selected , and in the end
she succumbs to a Fairbanksian wooing
with much delicacy and i^race. The
story resounds with the clash of cut-lasses,
and carries with it the whine of
the wind and the swing of the sea.
The cast was selected with usual
Fairbanks care , every attention being
devoted to the types. There arc only
two women in the piece , Billie Dove and
Tempe Pigolt. Among the men, whose
histrionic ability ranks high , are Anders
Ranclolf as the pirate Captain , Donald
Crisp as a one-armed pirate , Sam De
Grasse as a sinister second male, Charles
Stevens, Charles Belcher , Al Mac-
Quarrie and others, The pirate crew is
made up of ex-pugilists , wrestlers , cow-punchers
and others whose fearsome
laces might well strike terro r lo the
heart of any law-abiding voyager.

LET
us now go even unto Bethlehem and see this thing JEj
which is come to pass.' Sjj
It is shepherd speech in homely vein of common sense. «;
jrf For this thing did not occur in a book, nor in a church, JM
C but in the night fields under the night sky. Nor were these SS
ft shepherds Bible characters; their own Bible had closed cen- «S
9 turies before; doubtless they rested in their graves ere the 5»j
S new Bible was begun. No; 'there were in the same country SH
je shepherds abiding in the field , keeping their watch over their jflt
A flocks by night.' jH
S They had heard the Messenger's tidings and the singing . IPS
B of the heavenly soldiers; they had seen the sudden glory; «j
•A then silence fell and night. And they said one to another, JH
* 'Let us go and see.' *ff
E If they are in the Bible now, it is that we may put them «j
gj in the fields again—shepherds watching their flocks by night. JH
S Nothing is said of their character for religion, good or ^C
Jr bad. They were ordinary men on ordinary duty to whom JBt
JJ great news had come, and they said, 'Let us go and see.' JfiJ
K • yS
5 At a little distance they could see, in darker shadow than 8S
B the night, the walls and towers of the little town. Past the US
j f spot where the Angel stood , over the space so lately lit with j /t
B more than earthly light, on through the gates and up K
B through the dark, dark streets they pushed their quest. They Vf*
i found no temple, no theologians, no creeds, no altars—on, on wjt
Q they sped, and found a Babe in a manger. Multitudes, B5
B multitudes begin the journey every year, but not all get past ttfi
ft the department store, the tree, the feast and Santa Claus. BW
V Not all push on across the fields to Bethlehem, to the Manger SJf
f and the Christ. On, on past Yule to Christmas, past Christ- «»
£l mas to Bethlehem, past Bethlehem to the place outside the fife
J inn where the young Child lay ; on past the Child to His Q
