The young lad had been ill for some little time. He was dischar ged from the Hershey Hospital about a week ago, pre-sumably cured. However , a rela pse set in, from which he never recover ed. Death was due to urenaic poisoning. Thomas was a pupil in the 6th grade of the Hershe y Schools, where he was well liked for his sterlin g qualities. He was a member of St. Joan of Arc Church. Mass was celebra ted at 9 o'clock on Monda y, April 19th , at the church , Rev. P. J. Phelan , officiating.

He had listened , t hen had f ollowed That silen t , pale , grey ghost , Willi a long-drawn sigh at parting Followed in to death' s host. He has gone away from this earth As man y a friend departs; But we shall ever cherish his memory Deep down in our hearts. Did you tr y to cheer him? To lend him a hand of aid? Did you do your best by him As long as on this earth he stayed? High School Alumni to Hold "500" Party PThe Hershe y High School Alumni Association will hold a "500" card party at the Hershey Y. W.

Sunset , Night , and Sunrise As the blacksmith dips in his dirt y tub Of water the red hot shoe, So the sun in the west is dipped in a lake Of gold and is cooled off, too. Then they hook the skyhooks onto the sun And dra g it down to the forge , And they heat it and heat it the whole night long— As true as my name is George. Then they hoist the hot sun back to the sky. The skyhooks are then released, And the world is aroused from sleep by the glow Of fire in the distant east. Times Change Nowadays, says the Man with the Wooden Leg, the lilies of the field and of the city do not behave the same as they did in Bible times. Nowada ys they toil not , but they do considerable spinning around in high powered motor cars. A Belligerent Looking Town The other day a stran ger was giving the town the once over. Taking notice of the different jobs of excavating going on here , he said , "I don 't doubt but what Hershey is an all right town, but darned if 1 would like to live here. It reminds me too strongly of my lif e in the trenches , with all these ditches around here." Serious Offense "What 's the char ge against the prisoner? He claims that he was ridin g along the street on his bicycle when an officer ar-rested him. How can they make a case out of that? " "They claim he was pedaling on the street without a license." Meet the Plagiarist! "Say, Dee Jay, " inquired the Man with the Marble Top, "might I get a little personal and ask you a little question? " "That 's the only way you'll ever learn young man," we replied. "That 's how we got our start. " "Do you make up all those jokes in your column? Or do you take a western news-paper that you think nobody around here reads and copy out of it ? Here of late I have been readin g a good many oi your jokes in different newspapers and it just wonders me whether they are purlo ined from the Smokestack or whether their source of humor is the same as yours. How about it? " "Well," we. replied, "between you and me and that nineteen -fifteen flivver that fellow over there is tr ying to cra nk , we will have to answer that question yes and no. As you peruse the column under discussion, you will no doubt take notice that the poetry, as well as some of the jokes is rot - ten. The rotten stuff is ori ginal. The rest is easy. Go on down the column and pick out the good gags, if any. Those you have heard before are copied from a west-ern newspaper. Those that are new to you are original. That 's f air enou gh, ain't it? " He admit ted it was. But There He's At A Loss A prophet is not without profit save in his own countr y. How to Get Ahead One of the leading luminaries of t he Hershey Chocola te Compan y paused the other day in the Hardware Department of the Hershe y Store , where business calls us about a half hour at noon of ever y working day. "Do you have so and so?" he enquired . "Couldn 't tell you. Don't work here ," we mumbled. "That doesn't make a bit of difference , young man ," said the leading luminar y in his best lecture plat form tone. "You are down here every day and whether you work in the Hard ware Department or not you ought to learn all you can about the business. If you don 't , you will sta y right where you are all your life. Now when I was your age, etc., bo on—" The rest you can read in any good "success " magazine. Fair Exchan ge In spite of all that can be said to the detriment of those "nature lovers " who journey to the country to tea r up flowers and shrubber y, the y are not , af ter all , such a bad lot. For every hillside devastated , they leave as solace to the owner a bunch of tin cans, the newspapers in which their lunch was wra pped , and the less apjietizing remains of the picnic lunch . Back to Natcherl Friday afternoon , our chronic half holiday , we purchased some three quarts of onion sets and vari ous garden seeds at the Hershey store and hurried home with the idea of havin g the seeds in the ground before night. Af ter a hearty lunch we shouldered spade , hoe. and rake and wen t out to the garden. Our intentions were the beat , as we said above. We intended to bury all our onion sets and all our seeds before darkness fell. But Bobbie Bur ns, af ter whom is named the famous cigar (wonder If anyone will ever name a ciga r af ter us) , said a mouthful when he quoth , "The best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agloe." We turned a couple spadesful of dirt , and wi th the dir t we dislodged from their dens some extra fat and nu tritious angleworms. "What a shame ," we thou ght , to waste such wonderful meat. We shall hun t a bait can and fill it with these tasty mors els and to-morrow mornin g the fish will have breakfast. " Wc began spad ing, and as we spaded we threw worms into n rusty tin can , in prepa-ration , as we kidded ourselves for the morrow. Somehow thou gh as our back began to ache a bit from turning dirt , to-morrow seemed to loom a good way off and we began to fear that , with our fastly fail-ing health , ano ther day might sec us in a condition that would not permit us to go a-fishin g. Then tha t good old saying, "Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today, " came to our rescue. Sui ting action to the thou ght wc fors<x>k the ten by two we had spaded , shouldered our tooln, unshouldercd them in the cellar , shouldered the fishing rod . jiocketed a cigar , the pl|>e and the (win's, and we were oft in a clout) of dust for the wild and wooly wtxxlland where men are men. Our excursion turned out to be not ver y profitable from a monetary stand point as all we landed was one lar ge catfish , but such an afternoon . s|Hsn t close to nature that combines at times sunshine , lau ghing water , twitterin g birds , a pipe , rod and line , and an occasional nibble , furnishes a picture for memory 's album to which one can turn with pleasure in days to come. A Good Mechanic Syd Neverswea t , of Dennvillc , belied his name yesterday in crankin g his nineteen-thlrtcen flivver in front of the Beanvillc Emporium. If anyone ever sweated on a warm sprin g day, Alf did. He cranked awhile , then ho shed his overcoat.

Marion Talley Captures Hearts of Hartford and Scranton Hearers Marion Talley, the 19-year-old Kansas City girl , whose debut at the Metropolitan in New York furnished the greatest sen-sation of the musical season, and who will appear in a recital in the Hershey Park Convention Hall on Sunday afternoon , May 30th, in two recent concerts , one at Hartford , Conn ., the other at Scranton , Pa., sang bef ore audiences that taxed the seatin g capacity of both halls , and hun-dreds were turned away, unable to gain admission. .^dvMmKUo.... At these concerts Miss Talle y proved conclusivel y that she was able to success-full y bridge the wide gap between the opera and concert work. Her singing delighted both these audiences and she was given ovations which was most flattering. Her voice is a pure coloratura soprano , of a delightful lyric quality, and its entrancing sweetness carried clearl y to the fartherest limits of the vast halls. Her sureness of pitch , neatly turned morderi tes, delicate accentin g, and above all , her restrain t which always ref used to project the tone beyond the area of beauty, were deli ghtf ul incidents of these performances. And the audiences understood . She was rewarded with tumultous applause which lasted several minutes , and which was renewed again and again. Here was a voice, al-though not a lar ge and powerf ul one, and a personality that reflected simplicity, sin-ceri ty, spirituality—rare accomplishments which the greatest stars of operatic and the concert world would give much to possess. And here was the child-like figure who has stepped upon the highest run g of the ladder of vocal fame at an age when most of the world 's great artists are at the foot. Miss Talle y presented a program which made it pssible to judge the voice in its lyric purity, and which she will present at her Hershe y recital. The program began with the f amous aria "Una Voce Poco Fa " from Rossini 's, "The Barber of Seville". The first number of the second group was the exquisite "Lusinghe piu care " with Handelian cadences . Next came Vera-cini's, "A Pastoral" which is a lovely shepherd 's song, followed by Benedict 's, "The Wren", in which the singer displayed some wonderful trills and roulades . For the concluding number of the first part of the program Miss Talley selected the famous aria "Caro Nome" the song f rom Verdi 's "Rigoletto " in which she made her debu t at the Metropolitan. Three lighter songs made up her fourth group, beginning with "Love Hath Eyes" by Bishop. Next came a Swedish folk song, "When I Was Seventeen ", by Lill-jebjor , followed by "Come Unto These Yellow Sands " , by La For ge. For her last number Miss Talley pre-sented a vocal arran gement of a familiar Strauss waltz , "Talce of the Vienna Woods. " The encores were numerous , consisting of "Home Sweet Home ", "He Kissed Her ", "No , John , No", "Coming Thru ' the Rye " and "Bon jour , Mabelle , Good-da y." Emil Polak , Miss Talle y 's accompanist , is one of those rare artists who know how to ac-compan y well. He was given a heart y recognition by the singer and by the audi-ence . The assisting artist was Alberto Salvi, Vene tian harpist , and who will also appear in the Hershey recital. His program in-cluded a Passaca glia by Handel , "The Foun tain " (Salvi), "Gavotte and Bourcee " (Bach ), "Minue t " (Serrao), and his own !'Valse in E Flat.

Toby Sternber ger Given a Birthda y Surprise Tob y Sternberger , our affable and ca pable timekee per , was 37 years old on Thursday, Anril 15th , and the youn g lad ies of his departmen t didn 't forget the aus picious event—for when Toby came to his desk on that morni ng he saw a Night that almost reeled him over. He wasn 't quite sure that he was as yet awak e and he asked Larr y Edwards to give him a pinch - which Larr y did wi th a right good will. No wonder Toby was like as in a dream for on his desk was a lar ge chocolate cake and placed thereon , all aglow, was a large candl e. Around and alxmt the cake were a number of packa ges containing gifts , which Tob y opened in a most gleeful manner. So exci ted was he upon opening a package containing a little doll baby that he left it fall into the waste basket. It was one of the ha ppiest moments of his lifel Af ter the excitement subsided Toby made a lit tle Speech , ex pressing his appre-ciation , and slated that he hoped that he would not be forgotten ii|x>n his next 37th anniversa r y-—which would make him gentle 74.

Louis Levine Killed in Fall From Pole Louis Levine, known as "Bull" , aged 21 years, of near Annville, met his dea th on Wednesda y af ternoon about 12.30 o'clock, when he fell from a 75-foot telegraph pole which is located in front of the printing department building of the Hershey Choc-ola te Co. In the f all Levine's neck and leg was broken. It is believed that death was instan taneous. Levine, who was a lover of acroba t ic stunts , had climbed the pole, which he had done upon previous occasions , at which time he displayed daring stunts to his fellow employees , and the dan ger of the risk that he was taking never seemed to dawn upon him. On Wednesda y afternoon , shortl y before it was time to return to his work in the factory, Levine had climbed the pole and was entertaining the crowd that had gath-ered to see the performance. While thus engaged he lost his hold and fell from the pole. In his fall his right arm came in con-tac t with a high-tension wire which was affixed about twen ty feet below.

MacDonald has been the (jastor since 1917. It is the date set for the dedication of their beautiful new edifice which has been erec ted during the past year. The growth of this congr egation , and especially the Sunday School during the past few years , made the need of a lar ger and more modern church building necessary. The new buildin g, which occupies the site of the old one, is of brick construction , 40 by 50 feet , includin g a large tower above the front entrance about 60 feet high. The main audi torium includ ing a balcony, has a total seating capacity of 500. The large basemen t is divided into three parts—class room , ki tchen and fur nace room. Tke total cost of the building is $23,000. The pews are ol a comf or table design and the memorial windows are the gifts of the various societies of the church and in-dividuals. Much of the credi t in the construction of this rural church was due to the untiring effor ts of the pastor and his capable build-ing committee , composed of the following persons: A. B. Shenk , David Lerch , A. K. Winters , J ohn O'Neal and Harr y Brandt. Fishburn 's Church was organized about eighty years ago, the f irst buildin g being erected in 1846, and rebuilt in 1886.

That silen t , pale , grey ghost ,
Willi a long-drawn sigh at parting
Followed in to death' s host.
He has gone away from this earth
As man y a friend departs;
But we shall ever cherish his memory
Deep down in our hearts.
Did you tr y to cheer him?
To lend him a hand of aid?
Did you do your best by him
As long as on this earth he stayed?

Sunset , Night , and Sunrise
As the blacksmith dips in his dirt y tub
Of water the red hot shoe,
So the sun in the west is dipped in a lake
Of gold and is cooled off, too.
Then they hook the skyhooks onto the sun
And dra g it down to the forge ,
And they heat it and heat it the whole
night long—
As true as my name is George.
Then they hoist the hot sun back to the
sky.
The skyhooks are then released,
And the world is aroused from sleep by the
glow
Of fire in the distant east.
Times Change
Nowadays, says the Man with the
Wooden Leg, the lilies of the field and of
the city do not behave the same as they did
in Bible times. Nowada ys they toil not ,
but they do considerable spinning around
in high powered motor cars.

street on his bicycle when an officer ar-rested
him. How can they make a case
out of that? "
"They claim he was pedaling on the
street without a license."
Meet the Plagiarist!
"Say, Dee Jay, " inquired the Man with
the Marble Top, "might I get a little
personal and ask you a little question? "
"That 's the only way you'll ever learn
young man," we replied. "That 's how we
got our start. "
"Do you make up all those jokes in your
column? Or do you take a western news-paper
that you think nobody around here
reads and copy out of it ? Here of late I
have been readin g a good many oi your
jokes in different newspapers and it just
wonders me whether they are purlo ined
from the Smokestack or whether their
source of humor is the same as yours. How
about it? "
"Well," we. replied, "between you and
me and that nineteen -fifteen flivver that
fellow over there is tr ying to cra nk , we will
have to answer that question yes and no.
As you peruse the column under discussion,
you will no doubt take notice that the
poetry, as well as some of the jokes is rot -
ten. The rotten stuff is ori ginal. The
rest is easy. Go on down the column and
pick out the good gags, if any. Those you
have heard before are copied from a west-ern
newspaper. Those that are new to
you are original. That 's f air enou gh,
ain't it? "
He admit ted it was.

How to Get Ahead
One of the leading luminaries of t he
Hershey Chocola te Compan y paused the
other day in the Hardware Department of
the Hershe y Store , where business calls us
about a half hour at noon of ever y working
day.
"Do you have so and so?" he enquired .
"Couldn 't tell you. Don't work here ,"
we mumbled.
"That doesn't make a bit of difference ,
young man ," said the leading luminar y in
his best lecture plat form tone. "You are
down here every day and whether you
work in the Hard ware Department or not
you ought to learn all you can about the
business. If you don 't , you will sta y right
where you are all your life. Now when I
was your age, etc., bo on—"

Fair Exchan ge
In spite of all that can be said to the
detriment of those "nature lovers " who
journey to the country to tea r up flowers
and shrubber y, the y are not , af ter all , such
a bad lot. For every hillside devastated ,
they leave as solace to the owner a bunch
of tin cans, the newspapers in which their
lunch was wra pped , and the less apjietizing
remains of the picnic lunch .
Back to Natcherl
Friday afternoon , our chronic half
holiday , we purchased some three quarts of
onion sets and vari ous garden seeds at the
Hershey store and hurried home with the
idea of havin g the seeds in the ground
before night. Af ter a hearty lunch we
shouldered spade , hoe. and rake and wen t
out to the garden. Our intentions were
the beat , as we said above. We intended
to bury all our onion sets and all our seeds
before darkness fell. But Bobbie Bur ns,
af ter whom is named the famous cigar
(wonder If anyone will ever name a ciga r
af ter us) , said a mouthful when he quoth ,
"The best laid schemes of mice and men
gang aft agloe."
We turned a couple spadesful of dirt , and
wi th the dir t we dislodged from their dens
some extra fat and nu tritious angleworms.
"What a shame ," we thou ght , to waste
such wonderful meat. We shall hun t a
bait can and fill it with these tasty mors els
and to-morrow mornin g the fish will have
breakfast. "
Wc began spad ing, and as we spaded we
threw worms into n rusty tin can , in prepa-ration
, as we kidded ourselves for the
morrow. Somehow thou gh as our back
began to ache a bit from turning dirt , to-morrow
seemed to loom a good way off and
we began to fear that , with our fastly fail-ing
health , ano ther day might sec us in a
condition that would not permit us to go a-fishin
g. Then tha t good old saying,
"Never put off till tomorrow what you can
do today, " came to our rescue. Sui ting
