George Warner And
Andrew Henry Each
Eat 18 Waffles
The Men s Bible Class of the Fishburn's
Sunda y School" held an outing at Grant-ville
on Saturday afternoon.
The features of the outing was a baseball
game, followed by a waffle-eating contest
between George Warner and Andrew
Henry.
These two men made waffle after waffle
disappear as if by magic—and it wasn't
long before each man had fifteen credited
to his account.
Warner ate his sixteenth, and so did
Henry. Warner tackled the seventeenth
waffle, and after some little effort—it was a
goner. Henry not to be outdone followed
suit. Warner then started on his eigh-teenth
, and when he had eaten it—-said he
had enuf. Henry, with a great deal of
energy, urged on by Joseph Clark , tackled
his eighteenth—and it looked as tho he
would gobble it down in double-quick
order—but he, too, called it quits when he
had taken his last bite.
To determine the winner it was suggested
that a coin be tossed. The two men were
too full to do any tossing, letting this to
Joseph Clark—resulting in Warner making
the lucky choice.
Af ter a grea t deal of difficulty the two
waffle-eatin g champions were assisted into
their automobiles and taken home—and on
Sunday morning both men were late for
Sunda y School.
"Cohens and Kellys"
an Uproarious Knockout
at Park This Week
If life was made for laughter , whoever
attends the Hershey Park Theatre on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 22,
23 and 2<1, while "The Cohens and Kellys,"
the Universal-Jewel, is the feature, will
live a complete life during the run of the
picture.
"The Cohens and Kellys," is life jammed
with wholesome human touches of pathos
and comedy. It is a beautiful painting
from the delicate brush of the great artist ,
Harry Pollard , the director who put Regi-nald
Denny on the road to success.
It is not a farce comedy, bu t it is drama
of the relations between the Irishman and
the Jew told with an eye always on the
comic possibilities of the tale.
The Irish policeman who opens his heart
to the Jewish family is played by Charlie
Murray, whose most recent roles have been
as a character comedian.
Teamed with him in furnishing much of
the comedy is Kate I'rice, a real Irish lady
from Ireland , while on the other end of the
balan ce are Vera Gordon , the famous hit
of "llumoresque" and George Sidney, a
sta ge actor of 32 years ex|X!i'icncc. These
two Jewish players contribute their quota
of lau ghs.
Playing a rather wistful part devoitl of
comedy. Olive llnsbrouck , as a romantic
lead , Ktves a performance of dramatic
depth that immediately brands her as one
of the new school of girls that contributes
th e stars of tomorrow. Jason Robnnis
does well with his role and Nat Carr is a
new find for a villain. Not more than a
year ago he was the comedian with a large
musical show.
Two hoys, Mobby Gordon and Mickey
lienuelt , give clever performances. The
stor y is from Aaron Hoffman's famous
stage play, "Two Mocks Away. "

Warm Weather Until
Thanksgiving J)ay,
Say Penna. Seers
"There will be warm weather from now
on until Thanksgiving Day. All the back-ward
crops will fully mature. This infor-mation
is worth millions of dollars to the
farmers and proprietors of seashore hotels,
but you can pass the news on to them free
of charge."
This was the announcement of Gus
Luckingbill to a delegation of newspaper
men who called uj xm him and Dr. E. W.
Good on Sunday. In his weather prophe-cies
for the Philadelphia and Reading road
Luckingbill has the reputation of having
been in error only once, and some of his
predictions have been printed in pamphlet
form by the railroad .
The weather exjx;rts were particularly
asked lor their opinion of (he statements
of English scientists, published extensively
in this country the past week, that this will
be the last summer the human race will
see; that the earth is approaching a cold
l>crlod and the race stands a chance in the
near future of perishing in misery and
wan t, Dr. Good In furiously angry at the
sta tements.
"It is all right for ncwspa|)crs to publish
such statements, but at the same lime they
should expose the ignorance of those
making them," he said, The next glacial
Ij erlod is 25,01)0 years away and the transi-ti
on will 1h: very gradual and will of Itself
cover a period of fj(XK) years. Before this
appears we will have what astronomers call
t he summer of the earth , when for hundreds
of years there will be warm weather even
in th e Arctic region.
"There has Ixien more solar radiation
this year than ever before and the Eastern
Slates have only cscn|>ed extreme heat by
th e action of cross-currents of air and
ra pidly varying extreme*) of low and high
at mospheiic pressure.
"My advice is, don't worry alxml the
weather. The sun will bo shinin g brightly
long after every one now living in dead, "

cheered on by Edwin Hershey, went to
their task , which consisted of picking up
the potatoes, with a right good will , and so
energetically and ceaselessly did they con-tinue
in their work that it wasn't many
days after that they were out of a job.

"The Barrier" at
Park Next Week
Replete with thr ills, beautiful photo-graphy
and splendid acting by a notable
cast of principals, "The Barrier," the
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer photoplay of Rex
Beach's novel, will be shown at the Her-shey
Park Theatre on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, July 26, 27 and 28.
Beach's stirring novel of the Alaskan
frontier, where the veneer of civilization
dropped from men through their lust for
gold, has been transferred to the screen
with praiseworthy fidelity by Director
George Hill. The work of the director is
ably seconded by such popular screen stars
as Norman Kerry, Lionel Barrymore,
Henry B. Walthall, Marceline Day, Pat
Harmon, Bert Woodruff and others.
Norman Kerry and Marceline Day are
the focus of romantic interest in the pic-ture.
As Lieutenant Meade Burrell, the
haughty scion of a proud Virginia family,
Kerry is sent to an Alaskan army post,
where he meets and loves Necia, played by
Marceline Day, a half-breed girl whom he
believe* white,, as does the girl herself,
having been raised as the daughter of Gale,
the kindly old trader, portrayed convinc-ingly
by Henry B. Walthall.
Complications arise when Burrell learns
the girl is not white. He is willing to over-look
the barrier but the feelings of his
aristocratic family must be considered.
His decision is made when the girl falls into
the clutches of Star* Bennett, the brutal
skipper of a whaling ship.
Ihe picture is packed with highpower
dramatic thrills. The rescue of the girl
from the whaling ship jammed in the ice
floes, the wreck of the ship in the ice, the
furious battle between the young lieuten-ant
and Bennett in the ship's cabin, the
struggle between the first mate, essayed by
Pat Harm on, and Burrell 's orderly, Ser-geant
Murphy, combine to keep the spec-tator
on the edge of his seat throughout the
film .
The picture contains none ol the monot-onous
heroics commonly associated with
the stories of the frontier and a well de-fined
vein of comedy, interpreted by Geo.
Cooper and Bert Woodruff , permeates
throughout.
"The Barrier " is a picture that should
not be missed.

Some Anticipations
My mind is filled
As I write this
With visions of
Surpassing bliss.
Vacation time
Is here for me
And these are some
Thin gs that I see:
My faithful bus
So tried and true,
With four good tires
And two brand new;
The old gas tank
Filled heaping full ,
All ready for
The long hard pull;
The back seat piled
With grips and such,
I wonder if
We need so much;
My wife and I
In knickers clad ,
I guess we do
Not look half bad ;
A winding road
Of good cement ,
• A good cigar,
Sweet, sweet content!
No hot dog stand
Shall be our choice
When hunger lifts
Its lusty voice;
But rather we
'Neath spreading trees,
Will make a meal
Of bread and cheese;
Yes, all such stuff
As that we'll crunch
As we consume
Our home-made lunch ;
More miles of road!
The motor purrs
As through a town
Or field it whirs;
Don't think by that
Last line I mean
That in some field
We will careen;
A place to rest
Out in the sticks,
The days speed by,
A pleasant six;
I'll fish a bit,
• And swim a lotc
Especially
If it is hot :
The thoughts that here
In verse I 've said
Are what just now
Romp through my head.
Vacations are
A pleasant thin g
And many are
The joys they bring.
I pray this last
I may not lack ,
The thanks I'lJ feel
At getting back.
"The best part of
A tri p to Rome,"
A wise man said,
"Is getting home."
Dark Days Ahead
It is treason to say it, but somehow we
feel our brain would work a lot better if
it were oiled occasionally with a few drops
of honest-to-goodness pre-war stuff.
But woman's inhumanity to man has
made it impossible for a man legally and
with conscience clear to imbibe the great
lubricator we have just mentioned. We
fear for the fu ture of this great land and
free. We can't keep a certain picture out
of our mind, a picture showing a junk man
hauling away scrap iron that was made
scrap because the machine it once was did
not receive proi)cr lubrication. What we
are so scared about is that in these days of
full speed ahead many a good brain is
going to wear out for want of oil. Per-sonally
we hear a decided squeak in our
own cerebrum.
Fable
Once upon a time there was a very dear
girl whom we shall call, for want of a better
name, Iva Notion. Numerous were her
suitors, and especially numerous in his
visits was a young buckaroo whom we shall
designate, for want of a better cognomen
as Ilardley Responsible. Now it happened
that Iva took a particular dislike to Hard-ley,
but although she broke dates with him
and let him see her without her makeup on ,
ilardley loved her just the same.
What to do! Something must be done.
Here was Iva , a charming young thing
sought after by a score of suitors who were
kept from her company by the persistency
of that pest , Hnrcficy Responsible. Iva
thought and thought , till her little brain
ached. Finally she hit upon a corking
idea.
"I'll marry him ," she decided, "and then
I won't be bothered with him any more and
will have all kind s of lime to entertain my
boy friends. "
Her Thoughts Were Practical
Ern esto---"! have been so lonesome
since 1 have been away. I think of you
alwa ys, Tell me, what are you thinking of
my adored one?

I used the last of the lard and to-morrow

Doubtful
"1 can 't tie a bow tie and 1 can 't, stick
my hair back ," says Prof. Magnum Opus.
"Sometimes I wonder if I have a ri ght to
call myself an educated man."
-Umisvllle Courier—Journal.
He Found It Useful
"They say Smith , |xx>r fellow is blind as
a bat."
"That so?"
"Yep."
"Must bo tough all right. I le can 't get
around at all I suppose.
"Oil yes. He does Hiirprislugly well.
His sense of touch helps him out. You
kn ow what a wonderful sense of touch the
fellow always had? He iilwayn knew just
the ri ght time to make a touch off his old
man. It sure comes,in mighty handy to
him now, that sense of touch does,"
