              Greatest Treat of the Year. Every-body
Invided. Glories of the Ca-nadian
Kocldes- Life Above
theCIouds. The Wonderful
New Pictures of Hershey
Tomorrow—Friday—night will be a
star occasion at the Hershey' Central
Theater. Absolutely new/ moving
pictures representing the very latest
in motion photography will be pre-sented
and everybody is invited.
There will be no admission charge.
The probability is that the crowd will
be twice the capacity of the theater.
In that case the pictures will be run
a second time, the second show begin-ning
after 8 o'clock; Those who want
to see the first performance must be
in their seats by 7 o'clock.
New Pictures of Beauty
Beginning at 7 o'clock the lecture
"From Ocean to Ocean" will depict
on the screen the scenery of the Ca-nadian
Rockies, the mining industries,
the marvelous glacierfe, Lake Louise
and life above the clouds and the whole
run of wonder along the Canadian
Pacific Railroad. For this occasion
the Canadian Pacific Railroad will
send to Hershey a new equipment
which wil be used for the first time
and with it will be: Mr. J. E. Mac-
Dougall, of the Bureau of Econom-ics,
who will add to the interest of
the pictures by his graphic descrip-tions
and his -wealth of information.
This lecture is in itself one of the
most informing entertainments of the
day.
Hershey on the Screen
But that will not be all of the at-traction
of the evening. The people
of Hershey will find their model town
and all its wonderful workings on the
screen. Many of them will see
themselves walking about or working.
All the school children will see how
they look when they are marching
from their school. There are three
reels of a thousand feet each show-ing
the town, the factory in opera-tion,
the many machines, the farms,
the cows, the milking, life in .Hershey
Park, six hundred school children
marching, how cocoa and chocolate
are made, and in these pictures are a
thousand men and women and chil-dren
of Hershey. For more than a
year experiments have been under-way
to get a satisfactory moving pic-ture
portrayal of Hershey and at
last the reels have been accepted for
production and those who are fortu-nate
enough to get in the Hershey
Central Theater tomorrow night will
have the pleasure of seeing them.
Come Early—But
Remember that the performance
begins at 7 o'clock. It will last an
hour or perhaps an hour and a half.
At the end of the first performance
the pictures will be run again if
necessary.
Big Feature Saturday Night
The signal success of "Quo Vadis"
has led to the securing of the very
best attractions for the theater. Last
night the big show of "Ten Nights
in a Bar Room" was given for five
cents. Saturday night a newer and
greater show will be presented—
"Last Days of Pompeii." It is one of
the masterpieces of moving picture
realism and elsewhere, the admission
was as high as fifty cents and a dol-lar.
At the matinee Saturday it will
be. on 5 cents for children and 10 cents
for adults and at night it will bo 10
cents for all. It is especially desired
that the children attend the afternoon
performance.
Next week Dr. Mitchell's lecture
will como on Monday evening and it
is proclaimed as one of the best of
the whole course. Moving pictures
may bo shown with it. On Wednes-day
evening pictures will bo shown at
5 cents and on Saturday night thoro
will bo another big feature which will
bo duly announced next week.
Thoro is something going on every
night in Hershey now and the Ilor-shoy
Central Theater is the center of
the Interest and entertainment ,

Greatest Fog on Record
The fog of last wook wan sold by
the Weather ' Office to cover a larger
area than any other fog on record .
It hung like a blanket over almost
the entire country from the Missis-sippi
Rlvor to the sea, and fur out In-to
' tho Atlantic Ocean. Ah it rule,
fogs do not cover very extensive
areas.
There Will be Two Parts in the Inter-esting
Program. The First Will
Have Twelve Numbers and the
Second the Presentation of
"Finnegan's Flat." Cast
Tonight will be a great time at the
Hershey Central Theater. It will be
the joyous Christmas Festival under
the direction of the Young Women's
Christian Association and. the best
talent of the town has been gathered
to provide the entertainment. The
proceeds are for the work of the as-sociation
and for Christmas giving,
The advance sale promises a crowded
house.
The first part includes three num-bers
by the Glee Club, solos by W. L.
Dubois and Russell Clark, readings
by Mrs. H. S. Everett, a playlet by
Walter Strine and Louise Shay, a
trio by Miss Wingert, Miss Elder and
Mrs. Bacastow and a drill by six of
the juniors, Dorothy Hills, Edith Me-
Cafferty, Violet Lane, Dorothy Stover,
Mary Magrine and Mildred Miller.
The Hershey Orchestra will play.
The. second part will be the presen-tation
of "Finnegan's Flat." It is a
Christmas comedy, full of the holiday
spirit and the characters are all at-tractive
and amusing. Including the
children of the flat there will be more
than a score in the cast. Some of
the stars are William D. Ceiling as
Pat, Professor Feese as the German
professor, Fred Klinger, George
Hench, Miss Katherine Mumma, Mrs.
Mary Smith, Miss Elizabeth Glick,
Carl Snavely and Eva Runkle. The
story is . admirably developed in the
three .acts, all of which ai-e in Finne-gan's
flat. It shows how the Christ-mas
spirit transforms even the hum-blest
conditions into beauty and puts
gladness into the . hearts of .the sad
and unfortunate. . The note of the
whole performance is the optimism
and happiness of childhood. . There
are many good laughs and the senti-ment
that runs through the play
warms the heart. Miss Burch has
worked diligently in the rehearsals
and it is to her indefatigability that
the production of the play is mainly
due.
It will be a delightful evening at
the Hershey Central Theater and
there should be cordial encourage-ment
of the home talent.
Tonight's Christmas Festival
Will Show Hershe y Talent
Postoffice Has Moved
Its New Quarters are Fine and Con-venient
in all Respects
On Monday the postoffice opened in
the new quarters former occupied by
the Hershey Trust ' Company. The
six thousand dollar equipment is all
that was expected and more. The
larger room and, the admirable ar-rangement
of everything were the ob-jects
of admiration and commenda-tion.
The extra number of private
boxes is a convenience that was great-ly
needed and most of these boxes
were promptly engaged, i
1 Postmaster Newton's office is finely
furnished in quartered oak and con-tains
comfortable desks, chairs and
accessories. The office force are
very glad to have adequate room and
plenty of table space. It was ex-traordinary
how quickly Mr. Poiffer,
the assistant ,and Miss Boyor and
Miss Moyor, the clerks, mastered the
details of the now arrangement and
distributed the mail without delay.
Misses Moyor and Boyor are remarka-bly
slqlful in handling the letters and
all the force are popular with the
patrons. Some of the foreign names
are enough to pu///.lo a Philadelphia
lawyer, but they are being conquered
by the force.
Ilorshcy now has one of tho hand-somest
and most complete post-ofllcos
in tho State. General Manager J, B.
Lolthisor , under whoso supervision
tho now , office was remodeled and
equ ipped , has boon warmly compli-mented
on it.

M. S. Hershey Consolidated Public
School the average attendance for the
third month has been 93 per cent, and
the attendance since the session open-ed
has been far above the ninety per
cent mark. It is a splendid proof of
the success ' of the , school'. . Every
week there are visitors to .inspect its
unusual facilities and to take home
ideas. Moreover it is now recognized
that Hershey is the place for educa-tional
gatherings.
Teachers to Meet Here

and Paxtang, and the
townships of Sivatara and Derry will
be held at Hershey on Friday eve-ning
January 15 in the Hershey Cen-tral
Theater, and all day Saturday
January 16 in the assembly room of
the new, school building;- An un-usually
strong program is under pre-paration.
Special music by the

reputation will be here. A
movement is on foot to make this the

Are You Ready For Christmas
Hurry up With Your Shopping and
Mail Your Packages Early
i
Ih~spii# of the w*eather there has
been a big Christmas trade at the
Hershey Store, but the stocks, of good
things are not depleted and there are
plenty of opportunities for the holi-day
buyers. But they should not put
off their shopping another hour. A
week from today will be Christmas
Eve. The week will go quickly.
Every day lost means less to select
from and less satisfaction with your
gifts. This is the year of useful giv-ing
and the store is full of quality
goods for the home and the person.
There are loads of the latest toys, too,
ahd without them Christmas would
not bo Christmas.
' Special attention is called to the
character of tho jewelry sold in tho
Hershey Store. It is strictly stand-ard
and dependable goods. Tho most
exclusive jewelry stores have nothing
better and here it is far cheaper than
in other places , because only very rea-sonable
margins are placed upon it
and thoro are no fancy charges for
high rentals and other overhead ex-penses.
It would bo well to make a
comparison of Ilorshoy prices in
jewelry with city prices. Tho idea
is to build up in Ilorshoy a solid repu-tation
for dependable jewelry. This
year thoro is a wide selection of use-ful
articles.
Mail your Christmas packages at
once. You may place upon them tho
words, "Not to bo Opened Until
Christmas," Tho need of oarly mail-ing
is tho enormous business the par-col
post must handle in tho next -wook.
If you are Into your gifts may not ar-rive
in time.
Statement of Fact From One. Who
Writes Upon the Request of the
Board of Township Supervisors
arid Other "Interested tax-payers.
The Benefits
. The following . statement comes
from one of the leading citizens of
Derry Township with the informa-tion
that it is sent for publication
"upon the request of the Board of
Township supervisors and a few of
our interested taxpayers, relative, to
the commendable work of the Board
and especially to Mr. Hershey's big
financial assistance given to the town-ship
in respect to the roads":
Who would have thought that, in
the course of one year, Derry Town-ship
could pay off ah old indebted-ness,
aggregating the greater part of
Six Thousand, Dollars, and in the same
interval of time, to have expended
Six Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
in the making and repair of her
roads, without increasing the old tax
rate of four mills on the dollar of her
assessed valuation ?
"This is the actual truth, and. it is
due to the aT)Ie and ingenious efforts
on the part of her Board of Supervis-ors—
John Zoll, Martin Yingst, and
Jacob Grubb, who seem to have ap-plied
the most practical, moneysa^ving,
and systematic methods in managing
the road affairs of the Township.
"The writer has heard some com-ment
to the effect that the condition
of a number of the Township's roads
is of inferior standard, and he him-self
had at times been so impressed,
yet when we consider the almost im-passable
condition in which they were
left at the time when the present
Board assumed their responsibilities,
the burdensome indebtedness that was
left upon their shoulders, and the ex-ceptionally
heavy rains, of the early
summer which handicapped the Board
in keeping roads in at least a normal
condition we cannot do .felse than
praise them for making such a show-ing
at "the end of but one year of
their public employment.
"Furthermore, they are to be con-gratulated
and with them the Town-ship,
upon having in their midst
an unassuming benefactor, who has
very harmously co-operated with the
Board of Supervisors, arid who has
most generously, without boast, con-tributed
and expended from his own
personal account the aggregate sum
of Thirty-four Thousand, Six . Hun-dred,
Niiity three Dollars and Six
cents ($34,693.06). To be more ex-plicit,
not one cent of this money was
spent on the streets and highways of
the town of Hershey, all of it having
been expended by him in the making
of roads in various parts of the lower
precinct of the Township—roads that
but a few years ago were rock and
mire and that at present conform
with the requirements of the State
Highway Department.
"He has opened to civilization and
prosperity a great deal of country
that had heretofore been wildness and
half deserted farm lands. He has
consti-ucted roads upon, which many
of us enjoy tq ride and drive, and to
haul our products and our grains; and
if it be that some of us have no oc-casion
to use these roads, we ought
nevertheless to feel proud and grate-ful
that wo have had our Township
assets so valuably increased , all
through tho generosity of one whoso
good work has heretofore been un-known
to tho tax-payers. Do not
such acts as those deserve commenda-tion
, and it is not a selfish , disgrunt-led
or sore-headed individual , who
cannot fiivo vont to feelings of grati-tude
for such local patriotism , as
displayed liy this man ? Had I a
farm , and all of my buildings except
a hayshod wore at one end of it I
would foci grateful to tho neighbor
who would keep that shod und er roof
at his own expense, or build now
fences for mo at his own expense,
ovon thoufili thoy bo at tho other end
of the farm. Tho, illustration ap-plies
as woll to all of us inhabitants
of Derry Township, ' which Township,
with all its parts , nooks, and corners,
is of mutual as well as individual con-corn
to oaoh and ovory ono off us, no
matter In what portion wo may re-side,
and although tho $85,000 expendi-ture
fell upon tho Eastern End of tho
Township, tho Township has benefit-ted
generally by having its nBsots in-creased
to a like extent , and Is also
relieved of tho further burden of ex-pending
sums of money—thou gh pos-sibly
not as largo—to purposes
similar in design , but fur loss, in
magnitude.
"Wo ought to know also that not
only Iiiih lio expended tho larp;o sums
for tho Township 's benefit , hut ho has
assisted the Supervisors In paying o(T
tho old dolit , by assuming all tho ex-penses
Involved in tho general main-tenance
of roads in tho lower precinct.
"But ho him not ovon stopped at
that. It may bo of 'interest to some
of you'to ho informed if the fact that
ho has shouldered a burden which
Derry Township would have boon ob-ligated
to pay, in tho sum of $4500
for tho construction of a State Road
from Swatara Station to Union De-posit.
In plain words, ho has agreed
with the authorities to build . that
road at his own individual expense,
and, as in all his other operations,
without any obligation on the part of
the township to him or any other per-son.
"Therefore, with all these facts in
view, and the Township being now re-lieved
of its financial burden^ it will
be safe to say that in the course of a
few more years of practical, economic
and skilful effort, such as was dis-played
during the past year, Derry
Township will not be a back number
with respect to good roads, and a
great, great, portion of the credit we
must honestly give to M. S. Hershey."
What a Taxpayer Has Done
For Derry Township's Roads
Sale of Red Cross Stamps
Hershey Committees Working in
Harmony With Harrisburg
Monday evening John Fox Weiss,
Esq., and Dr. Galen Hain, of Harris-burg,
representing the Red Cross
Stamp movement of Dauphin county,
came to Hershey and met a commit-tee
of citizens at the Hershey Men's
Club. Mr. Weiss explained very ful-ly
and in a most interesting manner
the importance and value of the cause.
Last year Dauphin county gave about
$26,000 in stamps, and this money
was used to aid poor . consumptives.
All the money for stamps goes, direct-ly
to the purpose and none of it is
spent for salaries or expenses of any
sort. Of the contributions made in
this way 10 per cent goes to the na-tional
organization, 10 per cent to the
State society and 80 per cent remains
in Dauphin county for local use. It is
one of the noblest of all the Christ-mas
opportunities.
' The stamps cost only a cent each
and they may be placed upon Christ-mas
letters and packages and in fact
on all correspondence. In ; this way
everybody can contribute to the fight
against the white plague.
Hershey's interest in the matter is
not only in the value of the cause but
also in the fact that it comes within
the scope of the use of the fund. For
instance, if a person taken with tuber-culosis
in 1 this vicinity were too poor
to buy transportation to the State
sanitarium the fare would be paid
out of this fund, and other assistance
would be rendered. ' .
The committee in charge consists of
the following who have power to ap-point
sub-committees: George J. Ep-pley,
A. W. Snavely, J. M. Brandau,
Allison Garman, Miss Alice Elder,
Mrs. D. C. Giles, Mrs. Edwards, Mrs.
M. L. Hershey, Mrs. Everett, Mrs.
Bacastow, F. D. Keboch, E. L. Bom-gardner,
Earl Mays, George Copen-haver,
John R. Kreider, F. B. Snavely,
James Millard, Harry Haverstick,
E. J. Krause, Rev. George S. Rentz,
Rev. N. L. Linebaugh, Rev. Frederick
C. Krapf. The officers of the meeting
were L. R. Meekins, chairman, and
A. W, Snavely, secretary.
The stamps are issued through A.
W. Snavely at the Hershey Trust
Company. Tonight at the play they
will be sold to the audience and the
most attractive members of the Y. W.
C. A. have consented to do the selling.
Within 24 hours after the meeting
was held the supply left by Mr. Fox
and Dr. Hain was exhausted and a
further supply of 2,000 stamps were
ordered over tho telephone. It is
likely that more than these may bo
sold. It is everybody 's opportunity
to do good.
Dr. King's Great Lecture
On Lessons From the Bible
It Deeply Stirred the Largest Audi-ence
That Has Attended the Sun-day
Afternoon Meetings. An
Address of Humor and Elo-quence
That Held All.
When practically half the popula-tion
of a 'community brave the worst
weather of the year to attend a lec-ture
it means something. That is
what happened in Hershey on Sunday
and it . meant several things. -First
it emphasized the splendid success of
the union meetings of Sunday after-noon
in the Hershey Central Theater.
Second it showed the attraction of the
good singing that is always a feature
of these meetings. " And last and
most it proved the hold that Dr.
Byron . W. King has upon the public,
for Dr. King had been proclaimed one
of the great men of the platform and
there was universal interest in his ap-pearance.
The compliment of the biggest au-dience
on the worst day evidently
stimulated Dr. King to his best en-deavor
and the result was so' fine that
he had spoken for an hour before any-body
was aware of the flight of time,
and only then because he pulled out
his watch and expressed his own sur-prise.
Dr. King is a platform genius
—actor, preacher, philosopher, humor-ist,
entertainer—and his lecture ran
the whole gamut of interest and emo-tion.
Tears trembled on the edge of
laughter and a homely ¦ truth right
down in the soil was followed .by a
flight to the .stars. Dr. King kept
his audience jumping from point to
point so that there was never a mo-ment
when it got weary or knew ex-actly
where it was. His biblical basis
was mainly the 23rd and 24th Psalms,
which he recited with variations iri 'a
manner that showed his elocutionary
ability—he is the head of a school of
elocution in Pittsburg—and he so im-pressed
the value of the 13th Chapter
of 1st Corinthians that many in his
audience hunted up their Bibles be-fore
they went to bed and read it.
Those who failed to do so Sunday-might,
try it after they read these
lines—it will do them good. Also it
is a fine chapter to read every day.
Dr. King made many pleasant al-lusions
to Hershey. "I have heard
only fine things said about this beau-tiful
place," he declared. After his
lecture he said he was going to make
a return visit to inspect the civic, edu-cational
and welfare work being done
in Hershey.
Eev. N. L. Linebaugh was the pre-siding
officer .of the afternoon and he
read the scripture lesson and made
the prayer. The ushers were: Wil-liam
Geiling, Fred Klinger, John
Moyer, Walter Leibfried.
The music "was very enjoyable.
Tho Moyer Brothers of Palmyra—
four of them—sang beautifully. The
Hershey orchestra under Director
Feese played. Especially fine was the
congregational singing under Profes-sor
Keboch. It was by far the best
ever heard in Hershey and the last
hymn was given with an earnestness
and a vim and a swing that was in-spiring.
Next Sunday at 3 p. m, the speaker
will bo Dr. C. C. Mitchell, "a real
man with a great message," who will
speak on "The Upward Trend." Dr.
Mitchell comes heralded as one of tho
most eloquent stars of the course and
doubtless another great audience will
welcome him. Tho public now un-derstand
that tho speakers at the Sun-day
afternoon services in Hershey are
tho best of tho time and that they
can hear those fine orators absolutely
froo of all cost. It is also understood
that tho invitation to bo present is
without limit and particularly, in-cludes
tho people from tho surround-ing
country. Como and see what a
rare treat a Sunday afternoon in Ilor-shoy
offers.
