HERSHEY PPSUYPCIHLOSL OHGEYAR ABOUT On Friday morning, Prof. Eby, of the Beckley College, addressed the pupil* on the subject of the "Paychologv of Failure", His address was greatly enjoyed by the pupils. Thomas Meighan in "The Man Who ; Found Himself" In the "Man Who Found Himself," starring Thomas Meighan at the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening, April 3rd, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock. Para-mount promises a high powered story of the kind that Meighan fans like best—full of drama and romance and comedy. Booth Tarkington wrote the story espec-ially for Mr. Meighan. Alfred E. Green, who directed Tom in "The Bachelor Dad-dy," "Back Home and Broke," "Pied Piper Malone" and others just as success-ful, made this one also. Adapted for the screen by Tom Geragh-ty, "The Man Who Found Himself" is a story intense with interest—strong, vital drama with a punch and an appealing theme of love and regeneration, laid against a prison background as was one of the biggest of all Meighan hits, "The City of Silent Men." Virginia Valli, who was Meighan's lead-ing woman in "The Confidence Man," heads "the cast in this one, too. Frank Morgan, of the Broadway stage play, "The Firebrand," has a "heavy" role. John Harrington, Norman Trevor, Charles Stevenson, Julia Hoyt and Lynn Fontanne appear in the cast. Morgan is a rival banker of Meighan in a small Hudson River town. He railroads the star to prison when he discovers that Tom's younger brother has been plunging in Wall Street, lost a lot of money and has borrowed bank funds to "cover up." Tom is shipped to Sing Sing when the brother refuses to admit his guilt. While in jail, he learns his fiancee is going to marry the man who put him behind the bars through trickery. He makes his escape and returns to the home town. With the help of two former convicts, he' plants a clever trap whereby the crooked banker is killed by a night watchman at the bank while he is trying to make a getaway with the con-tents of the vault. Tom and the girl make up, this time for keeps. It's "the finest Meighan story to date, developing situations of genuine humor and drama. Meighan—Tarkington and Paramount! It's an unbeatable combination. Hershey Debating Club Closes Successful Season In a debate staged in the auditorium of the Lebanon High School on Friday night of last week, the affirmative team of the Hershey High School Debating Club went down to defeat for the first time this scflson. The question debated "Resolved, that the Federal Government should own and operate the coal mines," was one of much interest and was debated as though the government were to act upon the judge's decision. At the closing of the season, Hershey has the remarkable record of four victories and one defeat. This is yet more remark-able when one considers that this is Her-shey 's first year in this new extra-curricular activity. The Club deserves special credit upon its splendid record. The negative team was engaged in de-bate twice, once in Hershey, at which'time they subdued the debaters of New Cum-berland High, and once at Hummelstown, where they engaged Hummelstown's affirm-ative team, and in which contest they emerged the victors. The affirmative has locked horns with opponents on three occasions, as follows: Mechanicsburg High at Mechanicsburg, Hershey emerging the victor ; Hummels-town at Hershey, at which time Hershey brilliantly acquitted themselves and win-ning the favorable verdict; and with Leb-anon, when they lost to their opponents. The members of the Debating Club, who are all Seniors are: Beulah Shaffnef , Mary Hummer, Manager; Dorothy Hy-land , Charlotte Heil, Marlyn Herbst, Millard Carver, LeRoy Shenk and Harold Sours. Mrs. Lawrence Edwards Entertains at Bridge Mrs. Lawrence Edwards entertained at bridge on Monday evening at her home on Cocoa Avenue. Refreshments were served.

INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATE TO BE STAGED HERE On Friday evening, April 16. there will to held in the High School auditorium an Intcr-Collcglate open forum debate be-tween the Elizatothtown College and Washington College, from Maryland. This debate between these two schools Is to be held here at a neutral point and should prove of great interest to the people of the, community as well as to the student body. ANNUAL FIELD DAY Instructions have been sent out to the schools pertaining to the Annual Field Day to be held Saturday, May 1, on the Dauphin County Grange Pair Grounds at Paxtnng. This event Includes all phases of school activities such as public speaking, spelling, arithmetic, vocal solo, violin solo, chorus, as well as the usual track events.

Marion Talley's First Concert Sells Out Month in Advance Marion Talley, the nineteen-year-old girl of Kansas City, Mo., whose debut was the musical sensation of the country, and who has been secured for a concert at the Hershey Park Convention Hall on Sunday afternoon, May 30th, begins her Spring tour at Hartford , Conn., on April 15. Miss Talley will sing at Poll's Capitol Theatre, which seats 3800. Over one thousand applications for seats were re-ceived after the first announcement, in the papers, altho no date was mentioned. The last order was filled on Friday, March 12, with over six hundred applications un-filled and a month to go before the singing date. Miss Talley's second concert will be on April 16, at Scranton, Pa., and the advance sale is larger in sale volume than the enor-mous sale for Caruso. Miss Talley's third concert will be in Toronto, April 28. Following this concert. Miss Talley will appear in Syracuse on May 10, and on May 15, Miss Talley will make her first Festival appearance at the Springfield , Mass., Festival, with her ap-pearance at Hershey Park on May 30th. On Wednesday, March 17, Miss Talley sold out a non-subscription performance at the Metropolitan Opera House of "Lucia di Lammermoor." This is a feat which has been accomplished only by Caruso, Jeritza and Chaliapine, all other non-subscription performances which sold out without these stars, having been given by charities with a large "sentimental" sale. The record of Miss Talley speaks for itself. In one month she sang at the Metropolitan Opera House, four leading roles, Gilda in "Rigoletto"; Lucia in "Lucia di Lammermoor"; "The Nightin-gale" in Strawinsky's "Rossignol", and "The Doll" in the "Tales of Hoffmann." The Metropolitan Musical Bureau has been swamped with requests for this artist's appearance in concert. Nothing like it ever having been known since the last Caruso tour. There have been over two hundred applications by responsible managers for the forty dates available in Miss Talley's tour next year.

What I want to know is this: Is Mr. X. progressive or conservative? If so, how much? We are still looking for the answer. Doc Drake Has A Rival Old Doc Drake, of Liberty Cross Roads, says he has a new rival in the field who bids fair to run him out of business in a short space of time. This new rival is none other than the renowned Katty Keller himself, the good natured fireman with offices in the basement of the Hershey Department Store. Whether what Doc says is true, or whether it is only one of his flights of fancy, we do not profess to know. Here is Doc's story anyway. Among Katty Keller's numerous duties, he is allotted the task of burning things that have outgrown their usefulness in this life. One day the Hershey Drug Store brought down some things which they wanted cremated. Among these things were some oblong pasteboard boxes, marked XX Cough Syrup. Katty de-cided these boxes were not yet ready for the fire. He fitted into these boxes blocks of wood of proper size, then awaited whom he might devour. Certain parties, whose duties took them to the basement of the store were donated a large bottle of XX Cough Syrup with instruction to "keep it under your coat or else go out the back way because the bosses may get wise." There was fire in many an eye when after safely maneuvering the precious XX to a place of safety, the certain parties discovered the syrup had not yet been extracted from the block of wood inside the pasteboard box. * Getting in on the Raffle The giving away of a turkey and other prizes in connection with the syrup sale at the similar contest in the Old Home Town some years ago. The particular selling plan to which we have reference was the giving away of a bread mixer (how many Hershey housewives know what a bread mixer is?) to the holder of the lucky one of the tickets given away with each purchase of a certain kind of flour. The lucky winner had been announced and the excitement rampant in the Old Home Town had somewhat abated. Old Sam Smith came lugging his sack of flour back to the grocer. "What's the matter with the flour, Sam?" asked the grocer. "Nothin", I guess. We didn 't try it. I want my money back for the sack of flour ," said sam. "Melinda said for me to fetch home a sack last week as to get in on the bread mixer raffle and if she won the mixer, all right. If she didn't she said, I was to bring back the flour and she would keep on usin' the old brand. I guess I might's well take out the worth of the flour in chawin' tobacky. Heh-heh-heh!" Fable Once upon a time a resident of Hershey raised in his own garden vegetables that equaled in beauty of form those pictured in the seed catalogues. New* Note (From the Cider Press, Apple Hill's leading weekly paper). Clem Overwood, who lives north of town, was in our thriving metropolis yesterday, sporting a new Naughtymobile of the eight cylinder type. Clem was ob-served to go into Joe's Lunch room where he bought himself a pretzel, part of which he consumed as his midday meal. The Press does not vouch for the truth of the following, but rumor has it that Clem took the remains of the pretzel home as a treat for the wife and kids. The boys around town were admiring Clem's new car, and no doubt before long other machines of this.makc will be burning up the road. Naturally A husband and wife sat on the same jury in New York State, and you guessed it: the jury disagreed . Quickly Gone "In this life nothing Is permanent but change." Even change has a habit of dis-appearing from a fellow's pocket. The Man of Culture The man of culture abounds in dis-criminating sentlmenlH; he lives under the distant influence of exalted minds; his familiar thoughts at breakfast arc intimate appreciations of poetry and art , and , if his culture is really mellow, he sometimes smiles a little at his own culture. —George Santayana.

(Continued on Page 4) Hershey Cagers Close Season by Overpowering Annville Coach Palmgren's basketball team, Class B champions of District 3 of P. I. A. A., added another domain to their list when they copped Lebanon County laurels by triumphantly administering a 33-31 defeat to the Annville High School lads. This was the last appearance the Her-shey champions will make for this season and this game would not have been played, had it not been for a very indignant article published in the "Lebanon Daily News" by an Annville "fan." The Annville team did not present any outstanding claims and their record was not of a nature to warrant their playing Hershey, however, the Lebanon County boys were making claims for the Lebanon County Championship and this fact was probably the greatest incentive toward the arrangement. With a large group of loyal followers the "chocolatiers" motored to Lebanon to play a team which was rated as being "easy picking." This attitude predomi-nated because the Hershey team had de-feated teams which outclassed Annville, although the two teams were not scheduled for th is season. Annville started off with remarkable speed, demonstrating skill in both passing and shooting, which soon gave them a comfortable lead. This was unexpected and with a bit too much confidence the Hershey team, which were accustomed to little trouble in gaining decisive victories over teams in Annville's class, were in the game merely to make it a. one-sided affair. Annville was leading at the end of the first half with a 19-10 score. When the second half started, the Ann-ville team still showed its former speed and it seemed impossible for the Hershey boys to stop them. All the glory of a victorious season was at stake, and to be defeated by a team such as Annville's after gaining wide-spread fame by lowering Hanover High and giving Tech a hard-fought game, would put a damper on everything. Somehow or other Hershey could not find their usual stride and they seemed to lack the fighting* spirit and all this time Annville was gradually advancing the score. About this time "Nig" Stover was given a rest after playing a hard game and "Patty" Miller was sent in to see if he could change the running of things and in a short while he started off an offensive attack which resulted in three consecutive field goals. Purcell followed "Patty" by caging two and the whole team took on a new spirit. During the last quarter the score with usually a one point margin was passing back and forth in favor of the two teams and it would have been a dangerous propo-sition to stake a fortune at this critical moment. Finally the last whistle blew finding Hershey fortunate enough in hold-ing the long end of a 33-31 score. The Hershey congregation journeyed home rejoicing the close victory while the Annville followers had a just cause to take on their long and drawn-out facial expres sion. This game ended Hershey High School's 1925-26 basketball season which resulted in 29 victories and one defeat. With every varsity man being back next year , Hershey High should have a team stronger than ever. See Olive Borden in "Yellow IFingers" Tonight Screen patrons of Hershey will have their first opportunity to see dainty Olive Borden as a star in "Yellow Fingers," a new Fox production based on Gene Wright's novel, which will be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday evening (tonight) , April 1st, at 7.30 o'clock. The climb of this little actress from obscurity to stardom in an incredibly short time is one of the wonders of Hollywood. Now she is hailed by many film critics as the Duse of the screen and her acting in this picture indicates that the honor is not undeserved. Certain it is that she posses-ses unusual talent and in this production she has a story admirably adapted to her personality. TI UUC 1„Jl1~UL, W«fl «<AVU«II1IU«W...

Huckman attended a dinner at the Civic Club In Harrisburg on Wednesday, March 31. Mra. Lyman A. Gilbert was hostess. Death of Miss Katheri ne Rohr er Hershey Hershey was shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Katherine Rohrer Hershey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ezra F. Hershey, who passed away on Saturday evening, March 27th, at the Hershey Hospital, following an operation for ap- pendicitis. She was also operated on two weeks ago. Miss Hershey was so well known and loved by so many of us that it is indeed difficult for us to realize that she is gone. Her passing at such an early age, for she was but 14 years of age and would have celebrated her fifteenth birthday on May 30th, has left us with the feeling that there is much mystery in life and many that will never be explained. Miss Hershey was a faithful member of the Holy Trinity Lutheran Sunday School and of the Luther League. She was a student at the Seiler School, of Harrisburg. Besides her parents, she is survived by a sister, Elizabeth, and a brother, Frantz. The funeral was held on Tuesday after-noon at 2 o'clock at her home, the Rev. Paul M. Kinports, pastor of the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church officiating. In-terment was private, which was made at th« Hershey cemetery. The pall-bearers were former school mates of Miss Hershey when she attended the Hershey High School and were: Luther Hinkel. Glenn Keiffer , Luther Furst, John Parry, Richard Mumma, Clarence Rhoads, Richard Shay and Edwin Hershey. The beautiful floral tributes of Miss Her-shey's legion of friends were so large a number that it was impossible to bring all of them into the home. f Mr. John Halgren has most beautifully expressed the love and esteem held by all of us for Miss Hershey. The poem is as follows : Farewell, little Katherine, why did you go From this dear little town, that loved you so! As your gaining in health aroused us. to cheers, So~mournful we leave you with grief and tears. It is Eastertime, the lilies are here, To spread among mortals their innocent cheer, Perhaps you were gathered to be over there Where the lilies go from this earthly sphere. You are gone, but your memory ever rests In loving hearts within wounded breasts. Your frolics and j oy in your youthful plays, When life was a song in the happy days; Your loved ones will always relate with your name, A beautiful story in mourning frame. "The Fountain of Youth " to be Given by U. B. Choir IJThe United Brethren Church will have Easter programs on Sunday morning and evening. At 9.30 o'clock at the Sunday School session the anthems "Welcome Easter Morn" and "Resurrection" will be sung by Mrs. Chas. Kopp and Mrs. Cyrus Garman, sopranos; Mrs. Earl Walmer and Mrs. Wm, J.

Hersheyites Are Gettin g Good Gas Service Hershey and'vicinlty had much to bo thankful for when the Hummelstown & Palmyra Gas Company changed hands. Previous to that time our gas rates were high , the quality of the gas was poor, and the pressure was nil. Those were trying days! All this has been changed for the better, for which we are thankful. The rates are low, the quality A No. 1 and there is gas in the mains, yes, lots of it. The Company ia laying additional mains throughout the town, and every- Ixxly wants the gas in their homes. In fact they are just as desirloua of having the gua installed , as we were to have it taken out—that is, in the old days when we got air instead of gas, and paid high rates for it. Here's hoping that the Gas Company continues in Ha good work. DEATH OF MILDRED JANE REESE Mildred Jane Reese, the baby daughter of Mr. and Mra. H. B. Reese, died at her lute home, 18 Arcba Avenue, Saturday evening, March 27th , at 10.15 o'clock, after an Illness of nine days. She was aged 3 years, 4 months and 28 days.

HERSHEY PPSUYPCIHLOSL OHGEYAR ABOUT
On Friday morning, Prof. Eby, of the
Beckley College, addressed the pupil* on
the subject of the "Paychologv of Failure",
His address was greatly enjoyed by the
pupils.
Thomas Meighan
in "The Man Who ;
Found Himself"
In the "Man Who Found Himself,"
starring Thomas Meighan at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Saturday evening,
April 3rd, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock. Para-mount
promises a high powered story of
the kind that Meighan fans like best—full
of drama and romance and comedy.
Booth Tarkington wrote the story espec-ially
for Mr. Meighan. Alfred E. Green,
who directed Tom in "The Bachelor Dad-dy,"
"Back Home and Broke," "Pied
Piper Malone" and others just as success-ful,
made this one also.
Adapted for the screen by Tom Geragh-ty,
"The Man Who Found Himself" is a
story intense with interest—strong, vital
drama with a punch and an appealing
theme of love and regeneration, laid against
a prison background as was one of the
biggest of all Meighan hits, "The City of
Silent Men."
Virginia Valli, who was Meighan's lead-ing
woman in "The Confidence Man,"
heads "the cast in this one, too. Frank
Morgan, of the Broadway stage play,
"The Firebrand," has a "heavy" role.
John Harrington, Norman Trevor, Charles
Stevenson, Julia Hoyt and Lynn Fontanne
appear in the cast.
Morgan is a rival banker of Meighan in a
small Hudson River town. He railroads
the star to prison when he discovers that
Tom's younger brother has been plunging
in Wall Street, lost a lot of money and has
borrowed bank funds to "cover up." Tom
is shipped to Sing Sing when the brother
refuses to admit his guilt. While in jail, he
learns his fiancee is going to marry the
man who put him behind the bars through
trickery. He makes his escape and returns
to the home town. With the help of two
former convicts, he' plants a clever trap
whereby the crooked banker is killed by a
night watchman at the bank while he is
trying to make a getaway with the con-tents
of the vault. Tom and the girl
make up, this time for keeps.
It's "the finest Meighan story to date,
developing situations of genuine humor
and drama.
Meighan—Tarkington and Paramount!
It's an unbeatable combination.
Hershey Debating
Club Closes
Successful Season
In a debate staged in the auditorium of
the Lebanon High School on Friday night
of last week, the affirmative team of the
Hershey High School Debating Club went
down to defeat for the first time this
scflson.
The question debated "Resolved, that
the Federal Government should own and
operate the coal mines," was one of much
interest and was debated as though the
government were to act upon the judge's
decision.
At the closing of the season, Hershey
has the remarkable record of four victories
and one defeat. This is yet more remark-able
when one considers that this is Her-shey
's first year in this new extra-curricular
activity. The Club deserves special credit
upon its splendid record.
The negative team was engaged in de-bate
twice, once in Hershey, at which'time
they subdued the debaters of New Cum-berland
High, and once at Hummelstown,
where they engaged Hummelstown's affirm-ative
team, and in which contest they
emerged the victors.
The affirmative has locked horns with
opponents on three occasions, as follows:
Mechanicsburg High at Mechanicsburg,
Hershey emerging the victor ; Hummels-town
at Hershey, at which time Hershey
brilliantly acquitted themselves and win-ning
the favorable verdict; and with Leb-anon,
when they lost to their opponents.
The members of the Debating Club,
who are all Seniors are: Beulah Shaffnef ,
Mary Hummer, Manager; Dorothy Hy-land
, Charlotte Heil, Marlyn Herbst,
Millard Carver, LeRoy Shenk and Harold
Sours.

Intcr-Collcglate open forum debate be-tween

Marion Talley's First
Concert Sells Out
Month in Advance
Marion Talley, the nineteen-year-old
girl of Kansas City, Mo., whose debut was
the musical sensation of the country, and
who has been secured for a concert at the
Hershey Park Convention Hall on Sunday
afternoon, May 30th, begins her Spring
tour at Hartford , Conn., on April 15.
Miss Talley will sing at Poll's Capitol
Theatre, which seats 3800. Over one
thousand applications for seats were re-ceived
after the first announcement, in the
papers, altho no date was mentioned. The
last order was filled on Friday, March 12,
with over six hundred applications un-filled
and a month to go before the singing
date.
Miss Talley's second concert will be on
April 16, at Scranton, Pa., and the advance
sale is larger in sale volume than the enor-mous
sale for Caruso.
Miss Talley's third concert will be in
Toronto, April 28. Following this concert.
Miss Talley will appear in Syracuse on
May 10, and on May 15, Miss Talley will
make her first Festival appearance at the
Springfield , Mass., Festival, with her ap-pearance
at Hershey Park on May 30th.
On Wednesday, March 17, Miss Talley
sold out a non-subscription performance at
the Metropolitan Opera House of "Lucia
di Lammermoor." This is a feat which
has been accomplished only by Caruso,
Jeritza and Chaliapine, all other non-subscription
performances which sold out
without these stars, having been given by
charities with a large "sentimental" sale.
The record of Miss Talley speaks for
itself. In one month she sang at the
Metropolitan Opera House, four leading
roles, Gilda in "Rigoletto"; Lucia in
"Lucia di Lammermoor"; "The Nightin-gale"
in Strawinsky's "Rossignol", and
"The Doll" in the "Tales of Hoffmann."
The Metropolitan Musical Bureau has
been swamped with requests for this
artist's appearance in concert. Nothing
like it ever having been known since the
last Caruso tour. There have been over
two hundred applications by responsible
managers for the forty dates available in
Miss Talley's tour next year.

April Fool
"Hey there, mister, your front tire's flat!"
(He s stopped his car boys, imagine that.
Now he s getting out to see.
My gosh he's mad, kids, holy gee!)
"Hey there, mister! April Fool!
(Run kids, beat it, he can't catch us,
We got a good one on that old cuss.
Here's our teacher.) "Miss Smith, look!
You dropped a paper from your book.
Hey there, teacher, April Fool!"
"Mrs. Towner, your dog's untied,
He just ran 'round to the other side."
(There she goes, boys, down the yard,
Now yell ; she hears a little hard.)
"Hey there, Mrs., April Fool!"
A Question.
"Dee Jay Gee," said a certain man the
other day, "you are a fellow reputed well
versed in philosophy, and you wield a
scratchy pen. Here is a little question I
would like you to answer for me."
"You flatter us, Mr. ," we replied,
"however, shoot!"
"Mr. X, of town,'is wearing his last
year's hat, driving this year's car, and
living on next year's income. What I
want to know is this: Is Mr. X. progressive
or conservative? If so, how much?
We are still looking for the answer.
Doc Drake Has A Rival
Old Doc Drake, of Liberty Cross Roads,
says he has a new rival in the field who bids
fair to run him out of business in a short
space of time. This new rival is none
other than the renowned Katty Keller
himself, the good natured fireman with
offices in the basement of the Hershey
Department Store. Whether what Doc
says is true, or whether it is only one of his
flights of fancy, we do not profess to know.
Here is Doc's story anyway.
Among Katty Keller's numerous duties,
he is allotted the task of burning things
that have outgrown their usefulness in this
life. One day the Hershey Drug Store
brought down some things which they
wanted cremated. Among these things
were some oblong pasteboard boxes,
marked XX Cough Syrup. Katty de-cided
these boxes were not yet ready for
the fire. He fitted into these boxes blocks
of wood of proper size, then awaited whom
he might devour. Certain parties, whose
duties took them to the basement of the
store were donated a large bottle of XX
Cough Syrup with instruction to "keep it
under your coat or else go out the back way
because the bosses may get wise." There
was fire in many an eye when after safely
maneuvering the precious XX to a place of
safety, the certain parties discovered the
syrup had not yet been extracted from the
block of wood inside the pasteboard box. *
Getting in on the Raffle
The giving away of a turkey and other
prizes in connection with the syrup sale at
the similar contest in the Old Home Town
some years ago. The particular selling
plan to which we have reference was the
giving away of a bread mixer (how many
Hershey housewives know what a bread
mixer is?) to the holder of the lucky one of
the tickets given away with each purchase
of a certain kind of flour.
The lucky winner had been announced
and the excitement rampant in the Old
Home Town had somewhat abated. Old
Sam Smith came lugging his sack of flour
back to the grocer.
"What's the matter with the flour,
Sam?" asked the grocer.
"Nothin", I guess. We didn 't try it. I
want my money back for the sack of flour ,"
said sam. "Melinda said for me to fetch
home a sack last week as to get in on the
bread mixer raffle and if she won the mixer,
all right. If she didn't she said, I was to
bring back the flour and she would keep on
usin' the old brand. I guess I might's
well take out the worth of the flour in
chawin' tobacky. Heh-heh-heh!"
Fable
Once upon a time a resident of Hershey
raised in his own garden vegetables that
equaled in beauty of form those pictured
in the seed catalogues.
New* Note
(From the Cider Press, Apple Hill's
leading weekly paper).
Clem Overwood, who lives north of
town, was in our thriving metropolis
yesterday, sporting a new Naughtymobile
of the eight cylinder type. Clem was ob-served
to go into Joe's Lunch room where
he bought himself a pretzel, part of which
he consumed as his midday meal. The
Press does not vouch for the truth of the
following, but rumor has it that Clem took
the remains of the pretzel home as a treat
for the wife and kids. The boys around
town were admiring Clem's new car, and
no doubt before long other machines of
this.makc will be burning up the road.
Naturally
A husband and wife sat on the same jury
in New York State, and you guessed it: the
jury disagreed .
Quickly Gone
"In this life nothing Is permanent but
change." Even change has a habit of dis-appearing
from a fellow's pocket.
The Man of Culture
The man of culture abounds in dis-criminating
sentlmenlH; he lives under the
distant influence of exalted minds; his
familiar thoughts at breakfast arc intimate
appreciations of poetry and art , and , if his
culture is really mellow, he sometimes
smiles a little at his own culture.
—George Santayana.
Out of Date.
Yes, we are growing old. I low well do
we remember when Yes, We Have No
Bananas" was the latest hit. And that
was aKeq and ages ago. Wasn't it Mabel?
A Challenge
Friday we received another one of .the
famous endless chain letters which started
in Flanders Fields. The writer requested
us to send a copy to nine different people of
our ncqunintence. Well, for eighteen
cents we can buy a can of pl|)e tobacco and
three Ixixes of matches. And think of the
time it would toke our stenographer to
mimeograph and mail those nine letters.

Various more or less printable stories are
current as to how the Charleston originated
But those hard y fisherman who braved the
chilly weather of last Friday In quest of
their favorite sport tend to prove these
stories all wrong and Instead affirm thai
the Charleston originated among anglers
waiting for suckers to bite on a raw spring
day.
There la nothing so elastic about rubber

In these hectic days the Item writers will

Hershey Cagers
Close Season by
Overpowering Annville
Coach Palmgren's basketball team,
Class B champions of District 3 of P. I. A.
A., added another domain to their list
when they copped Lebanon County laurels
by triumphantly administering a 33-31
defeat to the Annville High School lads.
This was the last appearance the Her-shey
champions will make for this season
and this game would not have been played,
had it not been for a very indignant article
published in the "Lebanon Daily News"
by an Annville "fan."
The Annville team did not present any
outstanding claims and their record was
not of a nature to warrant their playing
Hershey, however, the Lebanon County
boys were making claims for the Lebanon
County Championship and this fact was
probably the greatest incentive toward the
arrangement.
With a large group of loyal followers the
"chocolatiers" motored to Lebanon to
play a team which was rated as being
"easy picking." This attitude predomi-nated
because the Hershey team had de-feated
teams which outclassed Annville,
although the two teams were not scheduled
for th is season.
Annville started off with remarkable
speed, demonstrating skill in both passing
and shooting, which soon gave them a
comfortable lead. This was unexpected
and with a bit too much confidence the
Hershey team, which were accustomed to
little trouble in gaining decisive victories
over teams in Annville's class, were in the
game merely to make it a. one-sided affair.
Annville was leading at the end of the first
half with a 19-10 score.
When the second half started, the Ann-ville
team still showed its former speed and
it seemed impossible for the Hershey boys
to stop them. All the glory of a victorious
season was at stake, and to be defeated by
a team such as Annville's after gaining
wide-spread fame by lowering Hanover
High and giving Tech a hard-fought game,
would put a damper on everything.
Somehow or other Hershey could not
find their usual stride and they seemed to
lack the fighting* spirit and all this time
Annville was gradually advancing the
score.
About this time "Nig" Stover was given
a rest after playing a hard game and
"Patty" Miller was sent in to see if he
could change the running of things and in a
short while he started off an offensive
attack which resulted in three consecutive
field goals. Purcell followed "Patty" by
caging two and the whole team took on a
new spirit.
During the last quarter the score with
usually a one point margin was passing
back and forth in favor of the two teams
and it would have been a dangerous propo-sition
to stake a fortune at this critical
moment. Finally the last whistle blew
finding Hershey fortunate enough in hold-ing
the long end of a 33-31 score.
The Hershey congregation journeyed
home rejoicing the close victory while the
Annville followers had a just cause to take
on their long and drawn-out facial expres
sion.
This game ended Hershey High School's
1925-26 basketball season which resulted
in 29 victories and one defeat. With
every varsity man being back next year ,
Hershey High should have a team stronger
than ever.

in "Yellow
IFingers" Tonight
Screen patrons of Hershey will have
their first opportunity to see dainty Olive
Borden as a star in "Yellow Fingers," a
new Fox production based on Gene
Wright's novel, which will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday
evening (tonight) , April 1st, at 7.30 o'clock.
The climb of this little actress from
obscurity to stardom in an incredibly short
time is one of the wonders of Hollywood.
Now she is hailed by many film critics as
the Duse of the screen and her acting in
this picture indicates that the honor is not
undeserved. Certain it is that she posses-ses
unusual talent and in this production
she has a story admirably adapted to her
personality. TI UUC 1„Jl1~UL, W«fl « |
