Another Game With Pal-myra
Great Merest Being Manifested
The Hershey Y. M. C. A. team will
play another ..game 'of ball ¦ with ' the
Palmyra team on Saturday afternoon
of this week. Considerable interest, is
being manifested in this game. These
same teams contested on August 3 with
a very unsatisfactory rfesttlt as the game
was called in the eighth inning. Tickets
are to be sold and the usual price of
admission will be charged. Palmyra is
planning to bring a large' crowd to sup-port
her team.
. The management at Heirahey has been'
very fortunate in securing for this-game
the services of a well-known and recog-nized
umpire whose work is resom-mended
as being highly . satisfactory.
With the .assurance' of a "sqflare. deal"
on the part of the umpire and of a game
hotly contested thruout by both teams,
why not make . plans sto be present • at
the Hershey Athletic Field on Saturday
afternoon at three o'clock ? Let all in
Hershey and vicinity who »ari, be at the
game to "root for the home team." '
We can not estimate the real value of
good support as help in winning a game.
It often happens that a game is won
from the grandstand and side Knee.
Hinkle will be in the box for the locals
and Mattheues will pitch for Palmyra.
Despite the fact that theiv was sori.e
dissatisfaction at the last game with
Palmyra, it is hoped that the rivah y
may be free from bitterness and only be
a stimulus to more interest and baiter
playing.
The great increase in the business of
the Hershey Chocolate Company is
shown by the large, additions that are
being made -to the plant. It was thot
when the plant was first built that no
more additions would have to be made.
Several were made,' however, in recent
years; new buildings are being built
now, and more are soon to follow.
At present a four story addition of
reinforced concrete is being made to
the north side of the plant. This buildr
in^ is 100 x 200 feet. It will be used for
shipping purposes. Double track siding
Will be built close to the building. Thus
the shipping facilities are being dou-bled.
The basement of this addition
will be used for storage of manufac-ture!
products.
In the near future the two-story
building on the southeast will be raised
to four stories. This will add five acres
to the floor space. -This will be used
for manufacturing purposes, machinery
for which has already been ordei ed.
Some of the'machinery will be imported.
Progress is the watchword of the age.
The room for the large Central Store
on the corner of. Chocolate, and Cocoa
Avenues is about completed. The show
cises have begun to arrive and are be-ing
put into place. They are of oak
with a dark finish. The equipment cf
this store will be equal to that of a
large city store.

It is no unusual thing for drivers of
automobiles to " speed . along Chocolate
Avenue at a most dangerpus rate. They
seem unmindful of the fact that they
are passing thru a town. Hershey is
not a four-corners and its streets should
be respected. On Sabbath evening one
machine passed thru town at a rate of
not less than 40 miles. A-little care
and thot will prevent accidents.
