Marti n Luthe r Film To Be Shown at High School Monda y Night Owing to the big demand for seats for the 8-reel motion picture of "Martin Luther, His Life and Time", which will be shown on Monday evening, January 11th, at 7.30 o'clock, arrangements were made to show toe film in the Hershey High School auditorium, instead of the Hershey Central Theatre, as originally advertised. By this change it will be possible to sell several hundred additional reserved seats. We would suggest if you have not as yet bought your tickets that ybu beTon the safe side, and make your purchase NOW. The members of the Men's Bible Class of the Lutheran Sunday School will be glad to accommodate you. The picture was filmed in Germany at the historic places where the soul-stirring events of the Reformation took place. Quaint old scenes of Worms and Witten-burg and Mansfield are shown in all of their original beauty. Some of the cos-tumes worn by the characters are the original garments worn at the time of Luther. The opening scenes depict the demoraliz-ing conditions in Europe which led to the need for a Luther. The main theme of the picture then fol-lows, showing the birth of Luther, his early training and education at Eisenach and Erfurt , the dramatic incident which led to his entering the monastery of the Augustines, and his disillusionment at Rome. The picture then carries us with a grand sweep from his realization that "The Just Shall Live by Faith" through the high notes of the 95 Theses, the debate .at Leipsic and the Trial at Worms. The awakened Luther, near-martyr, man, and ever the leader, is thai carried into enforced exile at the Wartburg, where he makes his other great contribution to religious freedom, the translation of the New Testament into the language of the people. He leaves the protection of the Wartburg to stem the tide of iconoclasm, and leads his people into safer channels of worship and public order. The film closes with brief glimpses of Luther's marriage, and his life as parent and preacher. •• The pictures were originally produced by a German company which employed a cast of eminent actors, headed by Karl Wurten-hagen, of Munich. No more noble and dignified figure could be presented on the screen than his "MARTIN LUTHER." "In addition to being instructive and educational, the picture succeeds as a medium of entertainment. It is valuable and especially interesting to students of Luther and his work. "This film in no wise features any church denomination, but presents the life of the hero of the Reformation, in a way that will enlighten the people of this present age as to the meaning and great value of the rich heritage that has come down to us from the Reformation." Hershey Young People Announce Engagement by Radio Miss Kathryn Weltmer entertained at a Bridge-Luncheon on Saturday, January 2d, at the Hershey Tea House, at which time the engagement of her sister, Lydia G. Weltmer, daughter of Ulrich Weltmer, to Harry J- Hocker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Hocker, of this place, was an-nounced.

Buck Jones Has Real Action Picture in "The Desert's Price" "The Desert's Price," the William Fox production starring Buck Jones, which will be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday evening, Jan. 12th, at 7.30 o'clock, is a thrilling Western picture, full of action and surprising situa-tions that hold one tense from the first flash to the last. Buck is cast as the handsome young owner of a large cattle ranch. He returns from the East to find his cowhands under suspicion of killing sheep belonging on a neighboring ranch. Then through some clever detective work on his part the real culprits are discovered and peace is re-stored between the ranches. The scenic effects are without a doubt some of the most wonderful that have ever been shown in a Western drama. One breath-taking situation follows another with lightning rapidity. There are also some thrilling exhibitions of horsemanship, one in particular where Buck rides an un-broken cow-pony and wins a wager from the two Martin brothers, who liave bullied the neighborhood for so long. Jones has a particularly well chosen supporting cast which includes Florence Gilbert, in the leading role, Edna Marion, Ernest Buttcrworth, Arthur Houseman and Montague Love. Rev. James B.

Brent is called to the front , and Fifi enters a contest, the winner of which is entitled to study designing in the establishment of a famous modiste. The scene shifts to the little American town of Clarion, IU. Brent is now junior partner in a department store owned by Torrence, and Fifi , now known as Madame Louise, world-famous designer, comes to give a fashion show in the establishment. Brent is engaged to Torrence's daughter, played by Miss Harris, and the appear-ance of Fifi complicates matters not a little. Everything is straightened out in the end.

B CHURCH Hershe y Chautau qua To Be Held Januar y 22, 23 and 25 The program that will be presented by the Swarthmore Chautauqua, which will be given in the Hershey High School audi-torium on Friday, Saturday and Monday, Jan. 22, 23 and 25, afternoon and evenings, is a particularly pleasing one, which is as follows: Friday, Jan. 22, afternoons-Opening exercises; full concert—Mary Adel Hays Concert Co. and Junior Chautauqua.' Friday, Jan. 22, evening—Concert- Mary Adel Hayes Concert Co.; lecture— "What America means to Me"—Arthur Walwyn Evans.

Monday, January 25, afternoon—Junior Chautauqua Demonstration; lecture— "The Miracle"—Lethe Coleman. Monday, Jan. 25, evening—Full concert —Dunbar Singing Bell Ringers. Arthur Walwyn Evans, who will be the lecturer on Friday evening is a dynamic Welsh orator, who is a cousin of David Lloyd George, jand for 24 years a resident of Great Britain. His subject will be "What America Means to Me." Mr. Evans ranks as one of the foremost plat-form speakers before the public today. 'Wh^hesays Inula—sometimes—but it is the kuKTSf hurt that arouses mental action of a healthy nature. Miss Lethe Coleman will be the lecturer on Monday afternoon , Jan. 25th, her sub-ject being "The Miracle." Miss Lethe Coleman is possessed of a charming per-sonality, vivacious but sincere. Miss Coleman gives an inspiring message, one that will appeal to every audience. One feels in Miss Coleman's interpretations a wealth of experience, a breadth of culture and a thorough knowledge of this splendid humanity of ours, whether it be the seven-teenth or twentieth century humanity. The lecture is loaded with conviction and truth and she presents her arguments with telling effect. Hear her on the last after-noon. On Friday afternoon and evening, Jan. 22, the Mary Adel Hayes Recital Company will be the attraction. Mary Adel Hays, "the Southern Soprano," is rapidly estab-lishing a reputation as one of America's greatest singers. Her popularity is proven by the re-engagements developing three and four times in many instances. One critic said in reviewing her work . . . . "and when this young woman comes on the stage one is impressed not only with the consummate art in the work of this fresh soprano voice of such an exquisite quality, but with her charming personality that is so pleasing and winning." She possesses an unusual range of three octaves and the agility with which she does the.coloratura roles causes one to feel that line surely is her forte—yet the timbre of the voice is so smooth and warm she is able to do the sustained work just as effectively. Her repertoire is extensive, consisting of operatic and oratorio arias, and the little classics in songs down to the simple ballads, all of which she sings with keen intelligence and sympathetic understanding. Miss Hays is assisted by two talented young artists, Miss Dorothy Flynn, violinist, and Miss Edna Hinton, pianist and accom-panist. On Saturday afternoon and evening, "Give and Take," a screaming farce on modern businesasn d economic life, will be the attraction. A laugh in nearly every line-1—clean,—a real Chautauqua • play. This play had long runs in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. On Monday evening, Jan. 25th, the Dunbar Singing Bell Ringers, will be the feature at "the closing performance. They were organized and coached by Ralph Dunbar, of the original Dunbar Bell Ringers. They appear also in solos, quartets, and readings, and carry 150 handbells; largest weighs 25 pounds and is 16 inches in diameter. Hear the famous Dunbar mixed quartet in sacred selections, accompanied by the bells. Usual Dunbar blending of all parts of program into a perfect whole. There will be a Sunday program; ar-ranged suitable to the day, which will be free. Season tickets are as follows: Adults, $2.00; under 14 years of age, $1.00; under 6 years of age, free. All single admissions—75 cents. Total single admissions, $4.50. You save by buying a season ticket. Time of opening—afternoons, 3 o'clock; evenings, 8 o'clock, unless changed by an-nouncement from the platform. Re?. H. C. Hartranft Deliveres Inspiring Ad-dress Monday Evening On Monday evening, Jan. 4th, an open meeting and booster rally was held in the Hershey Central Theatre, under the auspices of the Washington Camp, No. 705, P. O. S. of A., of Hershey. The meeting was presided by Clarence Uhrich, who did it in a most creditable manner indeed. Rev. Paul M. Kinports read the scriptures and offered the bene-diction. The Clarion Glee Club, of Pal-myra, sang a number of selections, and as they always do, made a hit, and had to sing several encores, before they were allowed to retire. The speaker of the evening was Rev. H. C. Hartranft, a member of Camp 705, who in a most eloquent and forcible manner stated the principles and aims of the order as well as its past achievements. This was the first time we ever had the pleasure of hearing Rev. Hartranft from the rostrum, and, believe us whether you will or noW-he is an orator par excellence— you'll go long and far before you will hear one who is his equal. He was filled with his subject, and he put it across with a punch. The Patriotic Order Sons of America teaches devotion to God, our Country and self thus guaranteeing that one cannot well be false to'our fellow men. Its purpose is to protect, defend and perpetuate the principles of civil and religious liberty, and the independence of citizenship, to this end it stands for the purity of the ballot and submission to the will of the people legally expressed. It stands for the right of every citizen to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience as guaranteed by the Constitution, but opposes all combinations, whether religious or political, no matter under.what pretext or name, who attempt to injure, nullify or destroy our cherished institutions. • It opposes a union of Church and State because history proves it to be a dangerous combination for any government, particu-larly so for a free Republic. While it welcomes all worthy immigrants who seek our shores, it favors stringent laws in order to sift the wheat from the tares and the exclusjon-of all who would be a menace to our institutions or a burden upon our citizens, The P. O. S. of A. favors the amending of our Naturalization Laws to the end that citizenship shall be conferred only on those who can demonstrate that they can appre-ciate its benefits and privileges. The P. O. S. of A. insists that every perron enjoying the privileges given to all on our shores shall be thoroughly Ameri-canized. They willingly take the leader-ship to accord all foreign-born persons an opportunity to learn the lessons of true Americanism. The Order conducts public meetings in various pans of the State, and insists that all foreign born become citizens within a reasonable length of time. Its camp rooms arc schools for the en-lightenment of the youth of our land on all of these subjects. Any white male born in the United States, over 16 years of age, and in sym-pathy with the foregoing principles, can become an applicant for membership. Victor DeAngelis to Play Saturda y Evening Victor DcAnfelis, the boy wonder plnno-accordianlst, will be the added feature at the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening, Jan. 9th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock. Entertains Class The members of the All Around Helpers Class of the United Brethren Sunday School, were entertained at the home of Miss Elotse Moyer, on Tuesday evening, January 6th. After the business session the evening was spent in playing games. A luncheon was served to the following: Miss Mabel Lingle, teacher; Dorothy Clark, Pauline Rumpf, Violet Stern berger, Helen Strimble, Viola Mangle, Alice Reilly, Kathryn Wcidler, Marios Bauder, Olive Badger, Doris Brubaker, Phyllis Hammoker S, ara Lelbfrled, Kathry n Host-tatter, Btbel Ebaraola and Biotas Moyer. *ii ^ii ^n«s»ia—oii^ M^si ^ ii '^ n^ie^ii ^w^irf I The Smokestack | JU'W II^ II W II^ I, 1 * H^ ll ¦ ,1 »» ,, * ,1 !¦ I, » ,1 » ,A As We Hiked to the Reservoir As we hiked to the Reservoir Last Sunday afternoon, The air was mild, the sky was fair. The world seemed all in tune,— We puffed upon a cheap cigar As we hiked to the Reservoir. As we hiked to the Reservoir Our breath came in short pants, We turned to view the town below Whene'er we got a chance,— We wondered what fat folks are for As we hiked to the Reservoir. As we hiked to the Reservoir We'll swear that we lost weight, We asked a pig, "Why are we fat?" He answered, "It is fate." Our limbs were tired, our feet were sore Before we reached the Reservoir. When we attained the Reservoir We gazed toward East and West And North and South; we tried to chose Which view we liked the best,— We lit another cheap cigar When we attained the Reservoir. When we came from the Reservoir, Came limping, stumbling home, We swore that if, in times to come, We ever cared to roam, We'd choose some place not quite so far As it is to the Reservoir. Arrived home from the Reservoir, We said, "Aw, what's the use Of all this fuss and fiddle dee Of trying to reduce? The next time we shall drive the car When we hike to the Reservoir." Those Poor Bank Clerk* "Say," said the Village Sheik as he exhaled a generous amount of cigarette smoke from his beautiful beak, "whassa-matter all these fellows that work in the banks are lookin' so glum these days?" "That's easy," replied the Man with the Marble Top, "they can't help thinking they can't close the banks for another holiday until Ground Hog Day on Feb-ruary the second." Do You Wonder , Too? Wonder when the bridge over the Read-ing is going to be open for traffic? A Profit Four Ways Some people make chicken raising pay. Others find ft rather a losing venture. But hardly anyone of whom we have ever heard did so well with them as the boy, Dawkins by name, of whom the Cleveland Plain Dealer tells. Someone asked the boy's father whether chickens really paid. "They pay my son," said the old man, "I bought him the chickens; I supply the feed ; I buy the eggs from him, and he cats them." The Difference A great many illustrations have been given by writers in their efforts to define the difference between the sexes, but the following comes as near being truthful as any of them: A man will give 40 cents for an article worth only 25 cents tliot he wants, while a woman will give 25 cents for an article worth 40 cents that she doesn't want.' Love's Innings The chronological divisions of a human life with Cupid as a factor, may bo set down as follows: From birth to marriageable age, 20 years. Courtship, one month. Proposal, one minute. Preparation of trousseau, six months. Wedding, six minutes. Time to think it over, the rest of your natural life. Ain't it the truth? Men, don't let the green god, Envy, get the better of you if you see some man wearing his Sunday suit every day. Don't say, "He earns no more Hum I do, how can he do It." Rather think , "Like as not it's the only suit of clothes the poor fellow lias." Don't Forget The first of February Is the Smoke-stack's birthday. All presents and birth-day cakes gratefully received. (Continued on Page 4) 'The Great Divide", Film Drama of Arizona Desert. Saturd ay The Great American play—the most popular stage production of the last twen-ty years—translated to the screen in a production on which no time nor expense were spared to make it a film even greater than the original, "The Great Divide" which will be shown at the Hershey Cen-tral Theatre on Saturday evening, Jan. 9th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock. It is a Metro- Goldwyn picture, presented by Louis B. Mayer. The story is of the West of today; of a woman, cultured, educated and with the repression of the East, living among the hardships of the western country. Critics and public alike have declared it the "Great American play." Reginald Barker directed "The Great Divide" for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It has been done on an elaborate scale and the entire company spent more than six weeks on the desert of Arizona getting exterior scenes. It is an epic of the West; a powerfully dramatic story of the elemental clash of a woman, typical of the repressed culture of the East, and a man typical of the fiery defiant, lawless spirit of the West. Alice Terry and Conway Tearle have the two leading roles with a supporting cast which includes Wallace Beery, ZaSu Pitts, Huntly Gordon, Allan Forrest, Ford Sterling and William Orlamond. New Fish Code in Force A half dozen important changes in the State Fish Code passed at the last session of the Legislature became effective Jan. 1st The outstanding changes have been listed by the State Fish Commission as follows: Reduction in the age limit under the resident fisherman's license from 18 years to 16 years. The non-resident fisherman 's license law is made reciprocal but in no instance is the license fee less than $2.50. Fishing devices are restricted to two rods, two lines and one hand line. Special devices for which permits were issued have been done away with entirely. The season on bass, pike-perch, pickerel, muscallongc, etc., will close on the first day of December instead of the last. The creel limits have been changed with the exception of those on trout. Probably the most important change is that which prohibits the use of all kinds of special devices. Heretofore, the number of yearly permits for use of special devices aggre-gated 50,000. Under the new code, fisher-man may use only two rods, with two lines, and one hand line at one time, for catching game filth, and the lines must be under the immediate control of the fisher-man. This will do away with traps and fish walls and numerous other devices placed in streams. Dip nets and minnow traps arc legal for the catching of bail-fish . Creel Limits Changed The creel limit on trout remains at twenty-five under the new code, but all other limits on game fish are changed, ranging from three to twenty-five. The change in the code giving licenses to persons 16 years of age and over is expected to Increase the number of licenses in the State by 50,000, it is indicated by the Fish Commission. At the same time the non-resident fisher-man's law is made reciprocal. Under that provision, an angler living in New York may take out a license to fish in Pennsyl-vania at the same cost as a license in New York State, provided the New York license does not cost less tlian $2.50. Another Important change is that which brings the season for giimc-fish to a close on December instead of the last day The new code has been printed in pamphlet form by the Fish Commission and will be given free to fishermen upon application. While the six changes given here are the most important, of the new code, there are numerous others tliat Ixrtli lake and stream fishermen must observe. Further information on the code is likely to be Issued later in the year. 1 take this means In thanking my neigh-bors and friends for the kindness and assistance given me during the illness and death of my husband. —Mrs. George B. Lelb. CARD OF THANKS Sacred Concer t at St. Joan of Arc Church Sunday Afternoon For the first time in the history of St. Joan of Arc Church the choir has suc-ceeded in working up a sacred concert, which contains a rare collection of the most beautiful masterpieces of the most famous composers of sacred music.

To Hold Special Meeting Frid ay The two hundred and forty-first month-ly stated meeting of the Hershey Volunteer Fire Co. was held Tuesday evening, Jan. 5, 1926, with President Clarence Uhrich in the chair. Those present were: Harry Imboden, Wm. McKinne, Jno. P. Conrad, Clarence Uhrich, David Ditzler, Daniel Ensminger, Chas. Palmer, Irvin Uhler, Herman Seavers, Oscar Newcomer, Jno. McKinne, Clyde Ebersole, Samuel John-son, Ira Gibble, Stewart Mahon, H. S. Beistline, Clarence Kaylor and Jas. F. X. Murray. Kenneth KUlian was elected a member of the organization. The Com-pany was called upon to extinguish two slight fires at Union Deposit, during the past month. The pool sharks find it necessary to have a better covering for the two tables, and as this expense should not be borne by the Company's treasurer, it was suggested that a subscription list, (in the hands of H. S. (Whitey) Beisline, located in the Transit Co. office, be kept busy taking names and donations from the members to defray this expense. During the Christmas holidays, some person entered the rooms of this organization and took a box of good cigars and a calendar, the cigars were the proper-ty of President Uhrich, while the calendar belonged to the Company. The calendar bore a very beautiful picture and we think, that it worked on the feelings of the person in the opposite direction from what the spirit of the season would indicate, it is a pleasure and a joy to give, "rather than to receive". As to the cigars, President Uhrich trusts the party who took same, enjoyed the "smokes", as he was minus "his", for Christmas. It was suggested that members discontinue bringing into the rooms, persons who are not members, and permitting them to use pool tables and card tables.

Full Text | Marti n Luthe r Film To Be Shown at High School Monda y Night Owing to the big demand for seats for the 8-reel motion picture of "Martin Luther, His Life and Time", which will be shown on Monday evening, January 11th, at 7.30 o'clock, arrangements were made to show toe film in the Hershey High School auditorium, instead of the Hershey Central Theatre, as originally advertised. By this change it will be possible to sell several hundred additional reserved seats. We would suggest if you have not as yet bought your tickets that ybu beTon the safe side, and make your purchase NOW. The members of the Men's Bible Class of the Lutheran Sunday School will be glad to accommodate you. The picture was filmed in Germany at the historic places where the soul-stirring events of the Reformation took place. Quaint old scenes of Worms and Witten-burg and Mansfield are shown in all of their original beauty. Some of the cos-tumes worn by the characters are the original garments worn at the time of Luther. The opening scenes depict the demoraliz-ing conditions in Europe which led to the need for a Luther. The main theme of the picture then fol-lows, showing the birth of Luther, his early training and education at Eisenach and Erfurt , the dramatic incident which led to his entering the monastery of the Augustines, and his disillusionment at Rome. The picture then carries us with a grand sweep from his realization that "The Just Shall Live by Faith" through the high notes of the 95 Theses, the debate .at Leipsic and the Trial at Worms. The awakened Luther, near-martyr, man, and ever the leader, is thai carried into enforced exile at the Wartburg, where he makes his other great contribution to religious freedom, the translation of the New Testament into the language of the people. He leaves the protection of the Wartburg to stem the tide of iconoclasm, and leads his people into safer channels of worship and public order. The film closes with brief glimpses of Luther's marriage, and his life as parent and preacher. •• The pictures were originally produced by a German company which employed a cast of eminent actors, headed by Karl Wurten-hagen, of Munich. No more noble and dignified figure could be presented on the screen than his "MARTIN LUTHER." "In addition to being instructive and educational, the picture succeeds as a medium of entertainment. It is valuable and especially interesting to students of Luther and his work. "This film in no wise features any church denomination, but presents the life of the hero of the Reformation, in a way that will enlighten the people of this present age as to the meaning and great value of the rich heritage that has come down to us from the Reformation." Hershey Young People Announce Engagement by Radio Miss Kathryn Weltmer entertained at a Bridge-Luncheon on Saturday, January 2d, at the Hershey Tea House, at which time the engagement of her sister, Lydia G. Weltmer, daughter of Ulrich Weltmer, to Harry J- Hocker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Hocker, of this place, was an-nounced. The announcement was made by "Radio", an imitation radio with "Kewpie" holding wires, being used as a centerpiece with gold cards leading to each place where the announcement was written on gold paper, twined on small ear phones. Sweet peas and fern were artistically ar-ranged about the table, while the color scheme was carried throughout in pink and gold. The invited guests included: the Misses Esther and Margaret Wheeler, Mildred Fromm and Ruth Hershey, of Harrisburg; Julia Wilt, of Steelton; Gertrude I. Welt-mer, of Atlantic City, N.

Buck Jones Has Real Action Picture in "The Desert's Price" "The Desert's Price," the William Fox production starring Buck Jones, which will be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday evening, Jan. 12th, at 7.30 o'clock, is a thrilling Western picture, full of action and surprising situa-tions that hold one tense from the first flash to the last. Buck is cast as the handsome young owner of a large cattle ranch. He returns from the East to find his cowhands under suspicion of killing sheep belonging on a neighboring ranch. Then through some clever detective work on his part the real culprits are discovered and peace is re-stored between the ranches. The scenic effects are without a doubt some of the most wonderful that have ever been shown in a Western drama. One breath-taking situation follows another with lightning rapidity. There are also some thrilling exhibitions of horsemanship, one in particular where Buck rides an un-broken cow-pony and wins a wager from the two Martin brothers, who liave bullied the neighborhood for so long. Jones has a particularly well chosen supporting cast which includes Florence Gilbert, in the leading role, Edna Marion, Ernest Buttcrworth, Arthur Houseman and Montague Love. Rev. James B. MacClure, will give an illustrated lecture in the Swatara Chapel on Thursday evening, Jan. 7th, at 7.30 o'clock, (tonight), on "The Life of Christ."

Brent is called to the front , and Fifi enters a contest, the winner of which is entitled to study designing in the establishment of a famous modiste. The scene shifts to the little American town of Clarion, IU. Brent is now junior partner in a department store owned by Torrence, and Fifi , now known as Madame Louise, world-famous designer, comes to give a fashion show in the establishment. Brent is engaged to Torrence's daughter, played by Miss Harris, and the appear-ance of Fifi complicates matters not a little. Everything is straightened out in the end.

B CHURCH Hershe y Chautau qua To Be Held Januar y 22, 23 and 25 The program that will be presented by the Swarthmore Chautauqua, which will be given in the Hershey High School audi-torium on Friday, Saturday and Monday, Jan. 22, 23 and 25, afternoon and evenings, is a particularly pleasing one, which is as follows: Friday, Jan. 22, afternoons-Opening exercises; full concert—Mary Adel Hays Concert Co. and Junior Chautauqua.' Friday, Jan. 22, evening—Concert- Mary Adel Hayes Concert Co.; lecture— "What America means to Me"—Arthur Walwyn Evans.

Monday, January 25, afternoon—Junior Chautauqua Demonstration; lecture— "The Miracle"—Lethe Coleman. Monday, Jan. 25, evening—Full concert —Dunbar Singing Bell Ringers. Arthur Walwyn Evans, who will be the lecturer on Friday evening is a dynamic Welsh orator, who is a cousin of David Lloyd George, jand for 24 years a resident of Great Britain. His subject will be "What America Means to Me." Mr. Evans ranks as one of the foremost plat-form speakers before the public today. 'Wh^hesays Inula—sometimes—but it is the kuKTSf hurt that arouses mental action of a healthy nature. Miss Lethe Coleman will be the lecturer on Monday afternoon , Jan. 25th, her sub-ject being "The Miracle." Miss Lethe Coleman is possessed of a charming per-sonality, vivacious but sincere. Miss Coleman gives an inspiring message, one that will appeal to every audience. One feels in Miss Coleman's interpretations a wealth of experience, a breadth of culture and a thorough knowledge of this splendid humanity of ours, whether it be the seven-teenth or twentieth century humanity. The lecture is loaded with conviction and truth and she presents her arguments with telling effect. Hear her on the last after-noon. On Friday afternoon and evening, Jan. 22, the Mary Adel Hayes Recital Company will be the attraction. Mary Adel Hays, "the Southern Soprano," is rapidly estab-lishing a reputation as one of America's greatest singers. Her popularity is proven by the re-engagements developing three and four times in many instances. One critic said in reviewing her work . . . . "and when this young woman comes on the stage one is impressed not only with the consummate art in the work of this fresh soprano voice of such an exquisite quality, but with her charming personality that is so pleasing and winning." She possesses an unusual range of three octaves and the agility with which she does the.coloratura roles causes one to feel that line surely is her forte—yet the timbre of the voice is so smooth and warm she is able to do the sustained work just as effectively. Her repertoire is extensive, consisting of operatic and oratorio arias, and the little classics in songs down to the simple ballads, all of which she sings with keen intelligence and sympathetic understanding. Miss Hays is assisted by two talented young artists, Miss Dorothy Flynn, violinist, and Miss Edna Hinton, pianist and accom-panist. On Saturday afternoon and evening, "Give and Take," a screaming farce on modern businesasn d economic life, will be the attraction. A laugh in nearly every line-1—clean,—a real Chautauqua • play. This play had long runs in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. On Monday evening, Jan. 25th, the Dunbar Singing Bell Ringers, will be the feature at "the closing performance. They were organized and coached by Ralph Dunbar, of the original Dunbar Bell Ringers. They appear also in solos, quartets, and readings, and carry 150 handbells; largest weighs 25 pounds and is 16 inches in diameter. Hear the famous Dunbar mixed quartet in sacred selections, accompanied by the bells. Usual Dunbar blending of all parts of program into a perfect whole. There will be a Sunday program; ar-ranged suitable to the day, which will be free. Season tickets are as follows: Adults, $2.00; under 14 years of age, $1.00; under 6 years of age, free. All single admissions—75 cents. Total single admissions, $4.50. You save by buying a season ticket. Time of opening—afternoons, 3 o'clock; evenings, 8 o'clock, unless changed by an-nouncement from the platform. Re?. H. C. Hartranft Deliveres Inspiring Ad-dress Monday Evening On Monday evening, Jan. 4th, an open meeting and booster rally was held in the Hershey Central Theatre, under the auspices of the Washington Camp, No. 705, P. O. S. of A., of Hershey. The meeting was presided by Clarence Uhrich, who did it in a most creditable manner indeed. Rev. Paul M. Kinports read the scriptures and offered the bene-diction. The Clarion Glee Club, of Pal-myra, sang a number of selections, and as they always do, made a hit, and had to sing several encores, before they were allowed to retire. The speaker of the evening was Rev. H. C. Hartranft, a member of Camp 705, who in a most eloquent and forcible manner stated the principles and aims of the order as well as its past achievements. This was the first time we ever had the pleasure of hearing Rev. Hartranft from the rostrum, and, believe us whether you will or noW-he is an orator par excellence— you'll go long and far before you will hear one who is his equal. He was filled with his subject, and he put it across with a punch. The Patriotic Order Sons of America teaches devotion to God, our Country and self thus guaranteeing that one cannot well be false to'our fellow men. Its purpose is to protect, defend and perpetuate the principles of civil and religious liberty, and the independence of citizenship, to this end it stands for the purity of the ballot and submission to the will of the people legally expressed. It stands for the right of every citizen to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience as guaranteed by the Constitution, but opposes all combinations, whether religious or political, no matter under.what pretext or name, who attempt to injure, nullify or destroy our cherished institutions. • It opposes a union of Church and State because history proves it to be a dangerous combination for any government, particu-larly so for a free Republic. While it welcomes all worthy immigrants who seek our shores, it favors stringent laws in order to sift the wheat from the tares and the exclusjon-of all who would be a menace to our institutions or a burden upon our citizens, The P. O. S. of A. favors the amending of our Naturalization Laws to the end that citizenship shall be conferred only on those who can demonstrate that they can appre-ciate its benefits and privileges. The P. O. S. of A. insists that every perron enjoying the privileges given to all on our shores shall be thoroughly Ameri-canized. They willingly take the leader-ship to accord all foreign-born persons an opportunity to learn the lessons of true Americanism. The Order conducts public meetings in various pans of the State, and insists that all foreign born become citizens within a reasonable length of time. Its camp rooms arc schools for the en-lightenment of the youth of our land on all of these subjects. Any white male born in the United States, over 16 years of age, and in sym-pathy with the foregoing principles, can become an applicant for membership. Victor DeAngelis to Play Saturda y Evening Victor DcAnfelis, the boy wonder plnno-accordianlst, will be the added feature at the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening, Jan. 9th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock. Entertains Class The members of the All Around Helpers Class of the United Brethren Sunday School, were entertained at the home of Miss Elotse Moyer, on Tuesday evening, January 6th. After the business session the evening was spent in playing games. A luncheon was served to the following: Miss Mabel Lingle, teacher; Dorothy Clark, Pauline Rumpf, Violet Stern berger, Helen Strimble, Viola Mangle, Alice Reilly, Kathryn Wcidler, Marios Bauder, Olive Badger, Doris Brubaker, Phyllis Hammoker S, ara Lelbfrled, Kathry n Host-tatter, Btbel Ebaraola and Biotas Moyer. *ii ^ii ^n«s»ia—oii^ M^si ^ ii '^ n^ie^ii ^w^irf I The Smokestack | JU'W II^ II W II^ I, 1 * H^ ll ¦ ,1 »» ,, * ,1 !¦ I, » ,1 » ,A As We Hiked to the Reservoir As we hiked to the Reservoir Last Sunday afternoon, The air was mild, the sky was fair. The world seemed all in tune,— We puffed upon a cheap cigar As we hiked to the Reservoir. As we hiked to the Reservoir Our breath came in short pants, We turned to view the town below Whene'er we got a chance,— We wondered what fat folks are for As we hiked to the Reservoir. As we hiked to the Reservoir We'll swear that we lost weight, We asked a pig, "Why are we fat?" He answered, "It is fate." Our limbs were tired, our feet were sore Before we reached the Reservoir. When we attained the Reservoir We gazed toward East and West And North and South; we tried to chose Which view we liked the best,— We lit another cheap cigar When we attained the Reservoir. When we came from the Reservoir, Came limping, stumbling home, We swore that if, in times to come, We ever cared to roam, We'd choose some place not quite so far As it is to the Reservoir. Arrived home from the Reservoir, We said, "Aw, what's the use Of all this fuss and fiddle dee Of trying to reduce? The next time we shall drive the car When we hike to the Reservoir." Those Poor Bank Clerk* "Say," said the Village Sheik as he exhaled a generous amount of cigarette smoke from his beautiful beak, "whassa-matter all these fellows that work in the banks are lookin' so glum these days?" "That's easy," replied the Man with the Marble Top, "they can't help thinking they can't close the banks for another holiday until Ground Hog Day on Feb-ruary the second." Do You Wonder , Too? Wonder when the bridge over the Read-ing is going to be open for traffic? A Profit Four Ways Some people make chicken raising pay. Others find ft rather a losing venture. But hardly anyone of whom we have ever heard did so well with them as the boy, Dawkins by name, of whom the Cleveland Plain Dealer tells. Someone asked the boy's father whether chickens really paid. "They pay my son," said the old man, "I bought him the chickens; I supply the feed ; I buy the eggs from him, and he cats them." The Difference A great many illustrations have been given by writers in their efforts to define the difference between the sexes, but the following comes as near being truthful as any of them: A man will give 40 cents for an article worth only 25 cents tliot he wants, while a woman will give 25 cents for an article worth 40 cents that she doesn't want.' Love's Innings The chronological divisions of a human life with Cupid as a factor, may bo set down as follows: From birth to marriageable age, 20 years. Courtship, one month. Proposal, one minute. Preparation of trousseau, six months. Wedding, six minutes. Time to think it over, the rest of your natural life. Ain't it the truth? Men, don't let the green god, Envy, get the better of you if you see some man wearing his Sunday suit every day. Don't say, "He earns no more Hum I do, how can he do It." Rather think , "Like as not it's the only suit of clothes the poor fellow lias." Don't Forget The first of February Is the Smoke-stack's birthday. All presents and birth-day cakes gratefully received. (Continued on Page 4) 'The Great Divide", Film Drama of Arizona Desert. Saturd ay The Great American play—the most popular stage production of the last twen-ty years—translated to the screen in a production on which no time nor expense were spared to make it a film even greater than the original, "The Great Divide" which will be shown at the Hershey Cen-tral Theatre on Saturday evening, Jan. 9th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock. It is a Metro- Goldwyn picture, presented by Louis B. Mayer. The story is of the West of today; of a woman, cultured, educated and with the repression of the East, living among the hardships of the western country. Critics and public alike have declared it the "Great American play." Reginald Barker directed "The Great Divide" for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It has been done on an elaborate scale and the entire company spent more than six weeks on the desert of Arizona getting exterior scenes. It is an epic of the West; a powerfully dramatic story of the elemental clash of a woman, typical of the repressed culture of the East, and a man typical of the fiery defiant, lawless spirit of the West. Alice Terry and Conway Tearle have the two leading roles with a supporting cast which includes Wallace Beery, ZaSu Pitts, Huntly Gordon, Allan Forrest, Ford Sterling and William Orlamond. New Fish Code in Force A half dozen important changes in the State Fish Code passed at the last session of the Legislature became effective Jan. 1st The outstanding changes have been listed by the State Fish Commission as follows: Reduction in the age limit under the resident fisherman's license from 18 years to 16 years. The non-resident fisherman 's license law is made reciprocal but in no instance is the license fee less than $2.50. Fishing devices are restricted to two rods, two lines and one hand line. Special devices for which permits were issued have been done away with entirely. The season on bass, pike-perch, pickerel, muscallongc, etc., will close on the first day of December instead of the last. The creel limits have been changed with the exception of those on trout. Probably the most important change is that which prohibits the use of all kinds of special devices. Heretofore, the number of yearly permits for use of special devices aggre-gated 50,000. Under the new code, fisher-man may use only two rods, with two lines, and one hand line at one time, for catching game filth, and the lines must be under the immediate control of the fisher-man. This will do away with traps and fish walls and numerous other devices placed in streams. Dip nets and minnow traps arc legal for the catching of bail-fish . Creel Limits Changed The creel limit on trout remains at twenty-five under the new code, but all other limits on game fish are changed, ranging from three to twenty-five. The change in the code giving licenses to persons 16 years of age and over is expected to Increase the number of licenses in the State by 50,000, it is indicated by the Fish Commission. At the same time the non-resident fisher-man's law is made reciprocal. Under that provision, an angler living in New York may take out a license to fish in Pennsyl-vania at the same cost as a license in New York State, provided the New York license does not cost less tlian $2.50. Another Important change is that which brings the season for giimc-fish to a close on December instead of the last day The new code has been printed in pamphlet form by the Fish Commission and will be given free to fishermen upon application. While the six changes given here are the most important, of the new code, there are numerous others tliat Ixrtli lake and stream fishermen must observe. Further information on the code is likely to be Issued later in the year. 1 take this means In thanking my neigh-bors and friends for the kindness and assistance given me during the illness and death of my husband. —Mrs. George B. Lelb.

To Hold Special Meeting Frid ay The two hundred and forty-first month-ly stated meeting of the Hershey Volunteer Fire Co. was held Tuesday evening, Jan. 5, 1926, with President Clarence Uhrich in the chair. Those present were: Harry Imboden, Wm. McKinne, Jno. P. Conrad, Clarence Uhrich, David Ditzler, Daniel Ensminger, Chas. Palmer, Irvin Uhler, Herman Seavers, Oscar Newcomer, Jno. McKinne, Clyde Ebersole, Samuel John-son, Ira Gibble, Stewart Mahon, H. S. Beistline, Clarence Kaylor and Jas. F. X. Murray. Kenneth KUlian was elected a member of the organization. The Com-pany was called upon to extinguish two slight fires at Union Deposit, during the past month. The pool sharks find it necessary to have a better covering for the two tables, and as this expense should not be borne by the Company's treasurer, it was suggested that a subscription list, (in the hands of H. S. (Whitey) Beisline, located in the Transit Co. office, be kept busy taking names and donations from the members to defray this expense. During the Christmas holidays, some person entered the rooms of this organization and took a box of good cigars and a calendar, the cigars were the proper-ty of President Uhrich, while the calendar belonged to the Company. The calendar bore a very beautiful picture and we think, that it worked on the feelings of the person in the opposite direction from what the spirit of the season would indicate, it is a pleasure and a joy to give, "rather than to receive". As to the cigars, President Uhrich trusts the party who took same, enjoyed the "smokes", as he was minus "his", for Christmas. It was suggested that members discontinue bringing into the rooms, persons who are not members, and permitting them to use pool tables and card tables. Discussion arose about interference from spectators at the fires that the Com-pany responds to, as it hinders the firemen in their work and in the future, Mr. George Lafferty will be asked to stress more forcibly his authority, especially during a fire. , The following committee appointed at a previous meeting, to visit the outlying farming districts, in behalf of procuring funds to help defray expenses for the proposed new chemical truck • that the Company ia about to purchase, will meet Friday evening, Jan. 8th, 1926, at 8 p. m., in the rooms of the company, when dis-tricts will be laid out and the committee divided into squads, thereby making it convenient to each and every one to cover the ground thoroughly: Jno.
