              The Hersjiey Chocolate Com-pany
Opens a Branch in
Lebanon
Leases the Up'.on Motor Company Plant ,
and Will Start to Wra p Chocolates
- on Monday Mornin g
On Tuesday the Herstiey Chocolate
Company made known that they had
leased the plant of the Upton Motor
Company,^ of Lebanon, arid would use
it for the wrapping- of their chocolates.
No other work than the wrapping- of
chocolates will be done. The chocolates
will be sent in bulk from the factory to
this branch, where they will be wrap-ped
and then shipped to the jobbers and.
dealers. . ¦
Owing to the unprecedented demand
for the Hershey Chocolate Company's
products, the opening of this branch
became necessary in order to supply
the trade. The factory has in its em-ploy
about 300 girls, whose only duty is
to wrap chocolates. Efforts had been
made to double this force, but to" no
avail.
This branch will no way affect any of
the employees of the Hershey Choco-late
Company. Work will be commenc-ed
in Lebanon on Monday morning.
Read This and Then Think
The town of Hershey is a busy place.
The employees are asked to read the
following, and then think. The town
has no patrolman, but has plenty of peo-ple
who will Istop other workmen by
holding a conversation with them :
Mum 's the-Word for Patrolmen
Order Promulgated by Chief Prohibits Unneces-sary
Talking •

¦ it? "'
Two important orders were issued by
Chief George, of Harrisburg. In the
future patrolmen doing duty on Market
street and what are know as , "corner
men'' must refrain from all conversa-tion
-while on duty. This does not mean
that no one is allowed to salute an offi-cer
or that a stranger or citizen dare
not seek information, but prohibits per-sons
from holding conversation with
them. .
The order states that Market street
is a busy thoroughfare and that a pa-trolman
has much to look after and
must be,on the watch all the time. It
also calls attention to the. fact that the
order does not mean that the bluecoats
are to be discourteous. "They are
there for business, and business only,
and to treat everybody with respect,-'/
said the chief.
The other order calls for permanent
duty on districts Nos. 9, 10 and 11. •
These districts are in close proximity
to the police station and it is the cus-tom
for an officer to walk to the station,
report off and then go home, getting
. from ten to twenty minutes bonus. In
the future all patrolmen doing duty in
these districts must remain on duty un-til
relieved. Chief George says- "the
districts must have protection at all
times."

A Little About You, About Your Neighbor:
. and Things in General
Our old friend, Curly . Maugans,. has
gone and left us, and is now located in
Derry Church, with temporary quarters
in\the parlor of the Haeffher- House.
Curly will give one and all the glad
hand , at any and all times, and he says-he
"will do things rite." :
The High School boys have organized
an Athletic Association, and are Agoing
to hold a festival on Friday evening,
April 8th, at 6 o'clock. -Naturally they
want a crowd to. come and give them
some encouragement, and they also-state
that they "will do things rite.:"
Don't forget about it.
Mr. Jas. K. Putt has finished putting
in the cedar work on the bridge leading
over Spring Creek in Hershey Park.
It is another feather in Jim's hat. It
look 's great.
Sir.-' Hoffer Bowman has again shown
that he is made of the right metal. On'
Thursday morning of last week Hoffer
was driving to Lickdale in order to re-pair
a boiler that had got .out. of work-ing
order. 1 He had with him a boiler
maker. They passed a farm and the
roof of the house was afire. The occu-pants
of the home were in the field
working. Hoffer urged on Nigger and
was soon at the place of the fire. The
boilermaker threw the water on the fire
and Hoffer carried it to him. It was a
soul-inspiring scene.
