Men s Club Plannin g to Follow the Juniors Boys- Camp a Great Success. Held North of Prospect Heights Where the Water is Good and the Swatara is in Easy Access The Camp Routine So successful has been the camp of the juniors which came to an end yesterday that the - members . of the Hershey. Men's Club expect to hold a camp during the latter part^f the present month. The location is north of Prospect Heights where the water is good and the Swatara is in easy access. The camp for the. juniors began on July 6 and continued to July 15." The following boys were in camp some of the time during the ten days : Russell Clark, Malcolm Murrie, Laton Giles, Melville Keiff er,' Cleon Keiffer, Rod-ger Smith, William Cooper, Orville Shaffer, Harold Martin, Charles Black, Park Cassady, Lewis Cassady, Stanley Gibble, Donald Habaker, Wil-liam Leifchiser, Chester,. Marks, Earl Brown, Robert Galebacli,". Roy Gale-bach, Monroe Stover, Kenneth Stov-er, John Stauffer, John Zimmerman and Herman Sanders. On last Saturday the boys from the Hershey Industrial School visited the camp. The feature- of their day's outing was the baseball game be-tween the school nine and the scouts which resulted in a 9 to 4 victory for the latter. During the time the boys were in camp they completed about 300 feet of walks 5 feet, wide leading from the camp site towards the Swatara creek. The idea is to make the site permanent and a long cabin has been erected which can be used by the campers and members. The walks leading through the ravine will en-able the campers to get to the Swa-tara, where a boat house and bathing house will be erected. It is estimated that over one hundred visitors were at the camp on Sunday and equally as many during the other periods of camp. The" camp for the members is to develop them in body, mind and spirit. The site is ideal in every respect. The Swatara affords fine swimming, fish-ing, diving, boating. Resuscitation and life saving are taught. The routine of the camp is as fol-lows: 6 o'clock reveille; plunge; 6.30 devotion ; 7 breakfast; 7.45 camp duties ; 8.15 athletics, boating, games, etc.; 10 swimming period; 10.30-11.45 camp at rest; 12 dinner; 1.15 hikes, boating, games, fishing, etc.; 4 swim-ming period; 4.30-5:45 camp at rest; 6 .supper; 6.45 evening tramps, games, etc.; 8 camp fire , songs, music, oc-casional entertainments; 9 devotion; 10 taps. The program was laid out to keep the boys busy all. through the day. The Camp was under the personal direction of J. M. Brandau , Physical Director of the Hershoy Men's Club with one man or older boy for every seven boys, each leader sharing in the responsibility for the care of the boys. Past experience justifies the following two rules: (1) Firearms and air rifles are not allowed in camp. (2) swimming for men and boys is allowed only, in the presence of the leaders, and only at the regular pori6ds designated. The purpose of the camp aims to make the vacation season one of dc-f i n i t e accomplishment-^physically, educationally and morally. Its ob-ject ia to provide a place whore a boy may live a wholesome, healthful , manly outdoor life in tho woods; a life which will make him solf-roliont and efficient , considerate and respect-ful. In this active life in tho open ho loams to appreciate nature and na-ture 's God. A vacation in tho sunshine and pure air on tho bank of some stream or lake with congenial follows , whore the tout replaces tho house, canvass cot the groat feather bod , good clothes put aside for khakis , tho pleasure of developing a healthy tan , oat and sleep as tho fancy and inclination dic-tate, Is tho simple life , Camp Is the place to ro-eronto and recuperate, Prospect Heights Is tho place for tho summer outing. Tho weather is ideal , tho days are warm and filled with sunshine ,' tho nights are cool , admirable for sleeping, Tho Inland breeze carries with It tho odor of tho pines and is stimulating l,o the lungs. Those who wish to camp In this vicin-ity -will do well to camp north on Prospect Heights. Washington Party Candidates Will Make Automobile Tour of Dau- , phin County Next Week.

The party will start from Harris-burg about eight o'clock in the morn-ing after a visit to a number of mills and factories, where Pinchot and Lewis will meet the men as they go to work. The schedule for the day is as, fol-lows : Steelton, (post office),. 8.15; Enhaut, (front of Town Hall), 8.30; Oberlin, (at store), '8.45; Paxtang, (Kraemer's store), 9.00; Penbrook, (Fishburn's store), 9.15; Progress, (at the store), 9.30; Paxtonia, (at the hotel), 10.00; Linglestown, (at the hotel—end of trolley line), 10.20; Shellsville, (at the hotel), 10.50; Grantville, (at post office),' 11.10; Union Deposit, (at the hotel), 11.40 ; Swatara, (at the hotel), 11.55; Her-shey, (at the Men's Club), 12.30; Bachmansville, (at post office), 2.30; D.eodate, (at post office), 2.55; Hock-ersville, (at the store), 3.30; Hum-in elstown, (at Public Square), 4.O0; Highspire, (McDanel's Drug Store) , 4.45; Royalton, .(Rutherford Store) , 5.10; Middletown (front of post office), 7.30. \ A Washington Party Manager said: "The visit of Pinchot and , Lewis to this section is a part of the state wide tour which these candidates are making. They have already visited twenty-five (25) counties, meeting the men early in the morning on their way to work, holding meetings throughout the various small towns in the district and ending up with open air mass meetings in the even-ing at the populated centers. Local Washington Party men in each place visited have made the coming of Pinchot and Lewis the occassion for opening their, own campaign. Local candidates for the Assembly, the can-didate for Congress and Jeaders of the Washington Party have ' accompanied Pinchot and Lewis on each occassion. This tour will last all during the summer and possibly until the first of October. Although it is primarily a 'hand-shaking ' tour, the candidates have been forced to make speeches in many places, because of the insistence of the crowds. As a.matter of fact, both Pinchot and Lewis have been forced to make from twenty to thirty speeches a day in their tours through-out the various counties." Later on in tho campaign , the can-didates will return to Dauphin Coun-ty and hold rallies at some of ,the principal towns. Pinchot Ik| Hershey ; For Two Hours July 22 Picnics Ever y Day For the coming weeks there will ho picnics every day in Hershey Park, Thoy will come from practically all the towns and sections within reach of Horshoy.

Parcel Post Business Hershey Office Handling More Par-cels Every Week . ._ • '¦ The Hershey Post-office will soon occupy its; larger quarters, but the change cannot come too soon for the increase in the parcel post business is overcrowding ' the present ¦ room. Hershey people are using the parcel post more every day. In the mean-while the local express .company—it is now the American—has reduced its rates to meet parcel post charges and it costs- much less to send articles by express now that formerly. How greatly the parcel post has affected the express business is shown by the- statement that American ex-press companies of the larger size suffered .a reduction of 84.4 per cent, of operating income during the first nine months of. the fisical year end-ing June 30". In dollars . the reduct-ion was from $3,793,638 to $589,740, a loss of $3,203,898. The period covers the operations of the now defunct United . States Express Company, which, when it went out of business, attributed its going to the competition of the parcel post. " ' These figures, prepared by the Division of Statistics of the Inter-state Commerce Commission, show that the . Southern and Western lines companies are the only ones able to keep out of the positive defecit colum. They are the ones that ..have the long hauls in which the profits lie. Ex-spress rates, in common with all other railroad service rates, increase with distance, but expenses do not. That is believed to he the chief rea-son why the Adams, American and Globe show great reductions of their operating income, while the losses of the Western and Southren com-panies were not great enough to force the income account into the minus column, although all suffered reductions in comparision with the corresponding period of the preced-ing fisical year. The Adams Company ran down its operating income from $172,296 to a deflict of $567,765, of which $116,329 was incurred during the month , of March, 1914. During the nine-month period the American fell from an operating income of $689,568 to a de-flict of $607,898, of which $128,486 was incurred during March of this year. - The Globe Company's operating income of $28,223 was wiped out and a deflict of $20,991 took its place. John Yetter, of Hummelstown, who was found dead by a^ fellow employe in the electric plant at that place on Saturday morning, was not electro-cuted as first thought, but death was due to the bursting Of a large blood vessel near the heart. A postmortem examination of the body was made by Dr. Perkins, of Harrisburg, The deceased is survived by a wid-ow, who was Miss Bertha Reager, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Reag-er, of Hummelstown. Mr. Tetter was tho son of Mouand-Mrs. Harry Yetcr, of Chamber's Hill , and is also surviv-ed by a brother and two sisters, He was a member of several secret ord-ers. Services conducted by tho Rov. Herbert S. Games, pastor of tho Zion Luthera n Church , Hummelstown , were hold from his late home in Hum-melstown on Tuesday afternoon. The members of tho Modern Woodmen Camp attended the funeral and hold services at the grave, Interment was made in the Hummelstown cemetery. Death of John Yetter A Visit From a Former Pastor Rev. E, A. Sharp, pastor of tho United Brethre n church at Port-ago, Cambria county, and former pastor of tho United Brethren church hero , was a visitor in Hershoy on Tuesday and Wednesday. Mr. Sharp loft hero a little over one year ago and has since been very successful in his now field. Shortly before ho wont to Portage n now thirty thous-and dollar church was erected and tho first service in this building was conducted by Mr. Sharp. During tho past year 222 now momborn of which 711 were men , woro taken ' into tho clun'cli, The Rov. Sharp has many warm friend s In Horshoy mul vicinity who will bo glad to loarn oC his good work. Union Deposit Road Tho County Commissioner , at tho Instance of the Do pry townflhlp super-visors, late Wednesday afternoon <lo-cldod to auk tho State Highway De-partment to assist in financing tho cost of rebuilding a portion of tho road extending from Union Deposit to Swatara Stat ion. The section to bo repaired 'is 120 foot loss than a milo long and oxtonds from Swatara Station to tho Swatara crook bridge near Union Deposit, Road Racing Ends in Death and Seri-ous Injury. Heartless Action of Party That Collided and Then Ran AWay. Man Ar-rested Recently there has been so, much reckless road racing in Dauphin and Lebanon counties • that predictions, of disaster have been general. . And so there was not any great surprise when the worst automobile accident , in the history of Lebanon county oc-curred: early Sunday morning, but there was great horror at its circum-stances. Two cars were racing after midnight, a Ford driven by LeRoy Stauffer, Of Palmyra, and an Abbott- Detroit driven by Gilbert Stewart, of Harrisburg. . On the pike between Annville and Palmyra was a team driven by Wilbur Reed. The Ford machine hit the carriage and then in a twinkling the .Abbott-Detroit ma-chine was upon the Ford, but it was not damaged enough to be put out of running. And run it did-r-away from the wreck. ' . ., . Claud Withers, 20 years old, of Palmyra, died." almost immediately. Roy Stauffer, 21, of Palmyra, is in the Lebanon hospital in a critical con-dition. Chester .'Bruce, Frank Spang-ler, Wilbur Reid and Paul Zimmer-man, of Palmyra, received lacerations and bruises. . Stewart is under arrest on a charge of involuntary manslaughter. : ' ;. Prosper Boyer, one of the two young men who occupied the buggy gave the following account of the af- ' fair_to the Lebanon News: "Reed and 'I' 'had taken a drive and. had just driven on to the turnpike. We noticed the rapid-approach . of two automobiles, one following the other closely. Reed pulled his horse toward the south -side of the road but the first car, which proved to be the Ford driven by Stauffer, crashed into the team, swinging it completely around, tearing off both the front and rear wheels on the left side of the buggy and breaking an axle. The force of the collision "also turned the Ford car completely around, causing it to fall on its side. In another, moment the second car, which had but one froni light, the right, burning, crashed ini to the overturned Ford." The four occupants of the second car, which had been brought to a standstill, assisted him in rescuing Reed from his perilous position un-der the team. They told him of four . men lying in the road and then board-ing their own car continued their trip westward without offering any furth-er assistance, • • "' ' The heartless conduct of the oc-cupants of the Abbott-Detroij ; car in driving away without giving aid led Coroner Light, of Lebanon county, to insist on the immediate arrest of the strangers. Stewart was found in Harrisburg. The occupants of the ¦Abbott-Detroit car were all Harris-burg men. It is hoped that this tragedy will cause a halt in reckless road racing, . .». _ Worst Automobile Tra gedy In Lebanon 's Histor y There are not many peach orchard s near Hershey but in tho surrounding country the crop will be plentiful , Orchards in Dauphin , York, Adams and Franklin counties are in prime condition. A survey of tho largo peach orchard of Colonel Harry C, Trexlor , on tho heights boyond Schnocksvillo , indicates that unless storms should intervene the crop this year will bo about equal to that of last year , when there woro 60,000 baskets. This is tho largest peach orchard in Pennsylvania and has been one of tho most successful In Ameri-ca. Tho warm weather is favorable , and a good many early trees will bo ready for picking in a week or ten days. There are reports that the Southern crop is not so heavy as last season and that prices this year will bo high.

Men s Club Plannin g
to Follow the Juniors
Boys- Camp a Great Success. Held
North of Prospect Heights Where
the Water is Good and the
Swatara is in Easy Access
The Camp Routine
So successful has been the camp of
the juniors which came to an end
yesterday that the - members . of
the Hershey. Men's Club expect to
hold a camp during the latter part^f
the present month. The location is
north of Prospect Heights where the
water is good and the Swatara is in
easy access.
The camp for the. juniors began on
July 6 and continued to July 15." The
following boys were in camp some of
the time during the ten days : Russell
Clark, Malcolm Murrie, Laton Giles,
Melville Keiff er,' Cleon Keiffer, Rod-ger
Smith, William Cooper, Orville
Shaffer, Harold Martin, Charles
Black, Park Cassady, Lewis Cassady,
Stanley Gibble, Donald Habaker, Wil-liam
Leifchiser, Chester,. Marks, Earl
Brown, Robert Galebacli,". Roy Gale-bach,
Monroe Stover, Kenneth Stov-er,
John Stauffer, John Zimmerman
and Herman Sanders.
On last Saturday the boys from
the Hershey Industrial School visited
the camp. The feature- of their day's
outing was the baseball game be-tween
the school nine and the scouts
which resulted in a 9 to 4 victory for
the latter.
During the time the boys were in
camp they completed about 300 feet
of walks 5 feet, wide leading from the
camp site towards the Swatara
creek. The idea is to make the site
permanent and a long cabin has been
erected which can be used by the
campers and members. The walks
leading through the ravine will en-able
the campers to get to the Swa-tara,
where a boat house and bathing
house will be erected. It is estimated
that over one hundred visitors were
at the camp on Sunday and equally
as many during the other periods of
camp.
The" camp for the members is to
develop them in body, mind and spirit.
The site is ideal in every respect. The
Swatara affords fine swimming, fish-ing,
diving, boating. Resuscitation
and life saving are taught.
The routine of the camp is as fol-lows:
6 o'clock reveille; plunge;
6.30 devotion ; 7 breakfast; 7.45 camp
duties ; 8.15 athletics, boating, games,
etc.; 10 swimming period; 10.30-11.45
camp at rest; 12 dinner; 1.15 hikes,
boating, games, fishing, etc.; 4 swim-ming
period; 4.30-5:45 camp at rest;
6 .supper; 6.45 evening tramps, games,
etc.; 8 camp fire , songs, music, oc-casional
entertainments; 9 devotion;
10 taps.
The program was laid out to keep
the boys busy all. through the day.
The Camp was under the personal
direction of J. M. Brandau , Physical
Director of the Hershoy Men's Club
with one man or older boy for every
seven boys, each leader sharing in the
responsibility for the care of the
boys. Past experience justifies the
following two rules: (1) Firearms
and air rifles are not allowed in camp.
(2) swimming for men and boys is
allowed only, in the presence of the
leaders, and only at the regular
pori6ds designated.
The purpose of the camp aims to
make the vacation season one of dc-f
i n i t e accomplishment-^physically,
educationally and morally. Its ob-ject
ia to provide a place whore a boy
may live a wholesome, healthful ,
manly outdoor life in tho woods; a
life which will make him solf-roliont
and efficient , considerate and respect-ful.
In this active life in tho open ho
loams to appreciate nature and na-ture
's God.
A vacation in tho sunshine and
pure air on tho bank of some stream
or lake with congenial follows , whore
the tout replaces tho house, canvass
cot the groat feather bod , good clothes
put aside for khakis , tho pleasure of
developing a healthy tan , oat and

ideal , tho days are warm and filled
with sunshine ,' tho nights are cool ,

A Washington Party Manager said:
"The visit of Pinchot and , Lewis to
this section is a part of the state
wide tour which these candidates are
making. They have already visited
twenty-five (25) counties, meeting
the men early in the morning on their
way to work, holding meetings
throughout the various small towns
in the district and ending up with
open air mass meetings in the even-ing
at the populated centers. Local
Washington Party men in each place
visited have made the coming of
Pinchot and Lewis the occassion for
opening their, own campaign. Local
candidates for the Assembly, the can-didate
for Congress and Jeaders of the
Washington Party have ' accompanied
Pinchot and Lewis on each occassion.
This tour will last all during the
summer and possibly until the first of
October. Although it is primarily a
'hand-shaking ' tour, the candidates
have been forced to make speeches in
many places, because of the insistence
of the crowds. As a.matter of fact,
both Pinchot and Lewis have been
forced to make from twenty to thirty
speeches a day in their tours through-out
the various counties."
Later on in tho campaign , the can-didates
will return to Dauphin Coun-ty
and hold rallies at some of ,the
principal towns.

Parcel Post Business
Hershey Office Handling More Par-cels
Every Week . ._ • '¦
The Hershey Post-office will soon
occupy its; larger quarters, but the
change cannot come too soon for the
increase in the parcel post business is
overcrowding ' the present ¦ room.
Hershey people are using the parcel
post more every day. In the mean-while
the local express .company—it
is now the American—has reduced
its rates to meet parcel post charges
and it costs- much less to send articles
by express now that formerly.
How greatly the parcel post has
affected the express business is shown
by the- statement that American ex-press
companies of the larger size
suffered .a reduction of 84.4 per cent,
of operating income during the first
nine months of. the fisical year end-ing
June 30". In dollars . the reduct-ion
was from $3,793,638 to $589,740,
a loss of $3,203,898.
The period covers the operations
of the now defunct United . States
Express Company, which, when it
went out of business, attributed its
going to the competition of the parcel
post. " '
These figures, prepared by the
Division of Statistics of the Inter-state
Commerce Commission, show
that the . Southern and Western lines
companies are the only ones able to
keep out of the positive defecit colum.
They are the ones that ..have the long
hauls in which the profits lie. Ex-spress
rates, in common with all other
railroad service rates, increase with
distance, but expenses do not.
That is believed to he the chief rea-son
why the Adams, American and
Globe show great reductions of their
operating income, while the losses
of the Western and Southren com-panies
were not great enough to
force the income account into the
minus column, although all suffered
reductions in comparision with the
corresponding period of the preced-ing
fisical year.
The Adams Company ran down its
operating income from $172,296 to a
deflict of $567,765, of which $116,329
was incurred during the month , of
March, 1914. During the nine-month
period the American fell from an
operating income of $689,568 to a de-flict
of $607,898, of which $128,486
was incurred during March of this
year. -
The Globe Company's operating
income of $28,223 was wiped out and
a deflict of $20,991 took its place.
John Yetter, of Hummelstown, who
was found dead by a^ fellow employe
in the electric plant at that place on
Saturday morning, was not electro-cuted
as first thought, but death was
due to the bursting Of a large blood
vessel near the heart. A postmortem
examination of the body was made
by Dr. Perkins, of Harrisburg,
The deceased is survived by a wid-ow,
who was Miss Bertha Reager, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Reag-er,
