              Holy Trinity Lutheran
Church Plans
Larger Building
At the annual congregational meeting of
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church held on
Wednesday evening, Jan. 6th, the congre-gation
seeing the need of a larger seating
capacity, unanimously decided to enlarge
and beautify their church property. The
Trustees were authorized to draw up plans
and specifications for the remodeling of the
church building, the work on the proposed
project to begin in the early Spring.
The past year marked one of the best
years in the history of the congregation.
The reports of the various organizations
showed marked activity and m many of
them an increase in membership was re-ported
and a nice balance m the finances of
each treasury.
The pastor in giving his report to the
congregation stated that during the year
49 members were added to the membership
of the church and that the attendance at all
of the services was most encouraging. He
also made mention of the improvements
made during the y ear: A bulletin board was
erected on the church property to announce
the church services and bring a message to
those passing the church ; the basement of
the church was improved with a concrete
floor covered over with battleship linoleum,
walls and woodwork painted and a new
lighting fixtures installed.
In the fall the congregation purchased
the house and lot known as the Glynn
property as a parsonage at a cost of $10,750
providing a fine residence for the pastor.
As a birthday gift on the 15th anniversary
of the congregation a pair of brass vases
were presented to the congregation for the
adornment of the altar. A large set of
silverware was given' for the use of the
congregation in their social affairs and an
umbrella rack placed in the vestibule of the
church.
The treasurer's report showed an ex-penditure
of $12,827.25 for all current
expences and a sum of $984.72 for benevo-lence.
During the year the pastor's
salary was increased $250.00. The Sun-day
School in a report showed an increased
average attendance of 41 per Sunday over
last year and a Teacher Training Class of
13 members are training for a greater
teaching force in the work of the organiza-tion.
The election resulted in the election of
Mr. John E. Snyder as Trustee for a period
of three years; Dr. H. G. Mumma, Mr.
George E. Copenhaver and Mr. Joseph R.
Snavely as Deacons for a period of three
years. The congregation is looking for-ward
to another year of activity that it
may be of great service to the community
and to the church at large.
David Belasco sold his great stage
success, "Seven Chances," to Buster
Keaton and Buster's first moving picture
version of a stage play is said to be seven
times as funny as the original "Seven
Chances," which will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday
evening, Jan. 16th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock.
"Seven Chances" tells the story of a
young New York broker who was so big-hearted
that he sold everything he had and
gave it to charity, thereby ruining himself
and partner and breaking his fiance's
heart.
Then comes a bequest from a deceased
uncle who wills Buster $7,000,000, pro-vided
he marries within 24 hours after
notification of the inheritance. Where-upon
some 7,777 women in bridal finery,
lured by Buster 's matrimonial advertise-ment,
come on the run looking for Buster.
Buster's supporting cast consists of
Ruth Dwyer, leading woman; T. Roy
Barnes, famous stage and film star; Snitz
Edwards, Jules Cowles, Marion Harlan ,
daughter of Otis Harlan; Loro Bara , sister
of Theda Bara ; a bevy of fifteen other
beautiful "baby stars" and some 7,777
"brides" of all ages and sizes.
Others who materially aided on "Seven
Chances" are Fred Gabourie, art director;
Denver Harmon; cinematographers Byron
Houck and Elgin Lcssley ; Al Gilmour,
ScMrfKull and Bert Jackson.

Volunteer Fire Co. to
Canvass Township
For Chemical Engine
At a recent meeting of the Hershey
Volunteer Fire Co., a committee of twelve
members was appointed to canvass the
town of Hershey as well as the surrounding
districts of Derry Township for the pur-pose
of soliciting funds for the purchase of
a chemical truck. This action was taken
after it was found out that the state, law
classifies volunteer fire companies in un-incorporated
districts as belonging to the
township in which the companies are
located, and after a member of the Hershey
Volunteer Fire Co. had actually received
insurance compensation as an employee of
Derry Township for injuries received while
on active duty as a fireman.
Mr. M. S. Hershey, at the meeting,
approved of .the idea of soliciting funds
from the residents of the surrounding
districts especially since a chemical truck
is of more value at such places than a large
pumping engine, due to the lack of suffi-cient
water supply to operate a pump
successfully. Mr. Hershey also said that
he wanted the people of Hershey and
Derry Township to feel that the Hershey
Volunteer Fire Co. belonged to them and
was for their protection and since all of
them have property worth saving they
should feel it to be their duty to contribute
freely toward the purchase of the neces-sary
apparatus to fight fires efficiently.
The committee has been organizing and
will soon begin their active work of going
around to see the residents of their dis-tricts.
The township has been divided
into six districts with several men for each
is as follows:
District No. 1. Comprises the town of
Hershey and all persons living between the
Wm. Penn Highway and the Horseshoe
Pike, east of Cocoa Avenue. The solici-tors
for this district are: John P. Conrad,
Alvin Flowers and Jerome Hostetter.
District No. 2.—Comprises that part of
Derry Township lying east of Hershey
along Derry Road and Wm. Penn High-way
to the crossroad at Palmdale. The
solicitors are John R. Zoll and Paul Edris.
District No. 3—Comprises that part of
Derry Township north of Derry Road to
the Swatara Creek, and also includes Sand
Beach. The solicitors are John K. Zoll
and Ira Bacastow.
District No. 4—Comprises the town of
Swatara Station and the surrounding
community. The solicitors are Daniel
Ensmingerand Harry I. Miller.
District No. 5—Comprises the town of
Hockersville and the surrounding farms
west as far as the Brownstone Railroad.
The solicitors are John Moyer and Irvin
Uhler.
District No. 6—Comprises all that part
of Derry Township south of the Horseshoe
Pike and east of Hockersville. The
solicitors are John C. Hershey and Clar-ence
Uhrich.
Be prepared to meet these solicitors
when they call on you and if possible
arrange to pay whatever you contribute so
as to avoid a second trip, and so as to get
the funds on hand as soon as possible, for
the chemical apparatus is badly needed and
no delay should occur in getting it.
The Hershey Volunteer Fire Co. is your
company and protects you. Give it your
hearty approval and earnest support.
Sacred Concert at St.
Joan of Arc Church
Please Music Lovers
The sacred Sunday afternoon concert
was a splendid success. Music lovers of
Hershey and Palmyra, who filled the
church to its utmost capacity, demon-strated
again that they appreciate good
music and that the idea of a sacred hour of
music on Sunday afternoon is satisfying a
popular demand.
Reports from all sides show that the
choir, soloists and leader did their level
best and can be congratulated upon the
efficient manner in which they accom-plished
their tasks. It was quite a big
undertaking to start a choir and practice
choruses in the class of a Sanctus from
Gounod or a Gloria from Mozart , but to
everybody's delight these were rendered
most creditably.
Among the soloists we particularly
noticed the silvery-flowing soprano notes
of Mrs. Louise Ruf. The solo, "Open the
Gates of the Temple" was a poem of
beauty, charm and simplicity. She was
ably seconded by squally warm voices like
Misses Jeannette Bilatti and Esther
Magrini.
In Mrs. Pauline Matula , from Palmyra,
our hearers recognized at once an alto
soloist of rare fullness and timber. The
modern Ave Maria by Dietrich , composed
in polyphonic Bach fashion, made a
splendid background to the soloist.
Among the tenors Mr. Henry SchaefTer,
Lebanon a new star , and he made a hit with
his rendition of the "Sanctus" from
Gounod . It showed gtxxl training. How-ever,
the solo number "The Holy City "
captivated the hearers the most and
showed rare talent. In Mr. Ed. Shea,
tenor, we found ail old acquaintance of
growing local fame and hope that he will
continue cultivating his manly tenor voice.
The tenors as a whole, showed remarkable
strength and very agreeable voices and
there is no doubt in our mind that among
names like Alex. Magrini , James Dc-
Angelis and Ray Matula , there is addi-tional
talent , which, if cultivated, will
come to the forefront in future concerts.
The bassos contained voices of which
naturally Mr. Ruf is the leading one, both
in training and originality, but we venture
to predict that Mr. Win. Miller; Joe
Smith and the MatUuazzis Brothers
brought good quality and lots of pep with
their splendid voices.
, Mias Bessie Eckenroth delighted the
audience with a fine piano solo and ac-companied
the choir all the way through In
a masterly menner.
A pleasant surprise wub the lntersprcad-ing
of orchestra l solo numbera in l>ctween
the singing and the DeAngells brothers
and Matarazzl brothers, who are members
of the Choir , as well as Phil Fisher's Or-chestra,
Knowing unusual musicianship.
The announcing was done by Mr.
Miller and we secretly admired the im-pressive
way In which he created a home-like
atmosphere between artists and
auditorium.
Ah a whole, the concert was arranged in
lino manner and carried through with
much enthusiasm , for which both Father
Phelan and Mr, Ruf deserve duo credit.
There are rumors that the choir will
attempt a bigger tusk in the near future
nnd we feel sure that the public interest
aroused in such splendid way will sponsor
their concerts due to their merits,

I OUR SALESMEN'S j
i /. REVUE /. j
We have the pleasure of having Mr.
Bert Geiser, District Manager, with
headquarters at Fargo, North Dakota, as
one of the contributors to "Our Salesmen's
Revue," who writes as follows:
The dedication of a Salesmen's Corner is
welcomed. To learn what is what and
who is who in the other fellow's world will
be interesting. Undoubtedly most of us
wonder just what lies beyond the.border of
our own interesting familiar community
nd not frequently spin very pretty as well
as sometimes romantic detriments to the
others much-loved territory.
North Dakota has been a state that has
been somewhat abused in this way and my
efforts contained here will be toward some
of the facts governing my North Dakota,
which I have grown to cherish.
What is to prevent one not familiar with
those Blue Hills of Kentucky to imagine
that Mr. Beck makes his calls in an ar-more
car to keep the illicit manufacturers
of "Rose Water and Glycerine" from
taking a pot shot at him, or possibly Mr.
Quinker uses a Pinto pony with two forty-fives
attached to his hip.
North Dakota has been unjustly ad-vertised
as a prairie waste and with a
climate likened to the regions inhabited by
Santa Claus. Would you believe that this
abused state has the most fertile farm land
in the country within its borders, much of
it untenanted because of [alse impressions
broadcasted. Would you believe that we
have with out a doubt one of the most
healthful climates in our country. W.^ild
you believe that during a recent blizzard
which gripped your East we were basking
in ideal weather. My Ford is still running
and it is possible to drive anywhere. True
enough we have blizzards just as you and
we may be confined a trifle longer. Did
you ever give the reason a thought? We
are not as densely populated and therefore
we cannot as quickly dispose of our snows.
Each year however better highways are
built and when built are maintEined and
with the dawn of each year we can note
rapid strides toward more comfort.
Not over seven or eight years ago
w ile visiting relatives in Newark, New
Jersey, I was introduced to some Jersey-ites
who asked me: "How far is your ranch
frcm the railroad ? Are you a cowboy?
Are the Indians very dangerous?" I at
that time lived in the city of Omaha with a
population of 200,000. When I presented
the facts those questioners were disap-pointed.
Because I had wrecked the
beautiful romances they had preferred to
clothed the West with. Why did I spoil
it? Such stories are a detriment because
they keep our progress back. Would you
want to journey forth into a country so
dangerous and make your home for your
loved ones? I would'nt. We need real
honest-to-goodness farmers out here. Con-gestion
is not doing your East one bit of
good. It is only giving birth to more
suffering. Farming is the foundation and
backbone of this country and when these
low-priced lands within our North Dakota
borders are well manned then and then
only will prosperity be within easy grasp
of all.
I thank you.

F. B. Snavely
Elected President
of Farm Association
Farmersjshould alwaysjbase their busi-ness
policies upon the possibility of gradual
reduction in the general agragorian price
level, members of the Dauphin County
Agricultural Extension Association were
advised at their annual meeting in the
Courthouse last week.
Dr. Frederick Weaver, of the State
College agricultural economics depart-ment,
the principal afternoon speaker,
asserted, however, that it is impossible to
determine absolutely what the future
price trend will be.
"One must always be prepared, how-ever,"
he said, "for a gradual decline in the
level."
He pointed out that the future trend of
farm prices will depend upon the govern-mental,
financial and banking policies
which the country will pursue during the
next several years.
"When prices are high is a very poor
time to go into debt except for those things
which will pay for themselves in a short
time," Weaver declared. "Every dollar
borrowed at periods of high prices must be
paid back with dollars that are worth
twice as much produce as they were at the
time the money was borrowed, providing
prices decline to half the former level."
Frank B. Snavely, Hummelstown, was
re-elected president of the association, and
Aaron Erdman, Elizabethville, was chosen
vice-president. N. J. Basehore, Hum-melstown,
and Howard Speece, Dauphin,
were re-elected treasurer and secretary,
respectively.
Discussions by community leaders of
some of the outstanding projects com-pleted
during the past year throughout
Dauphin County under the direction of the
County Agricultural Extension Associa-tion
featured the annual meeting of the
organization yesterday in the Courthouse
here.
Howard A. Cummings and Addison
Snyder spoke on "Making he Farm
Orchard Pay." Cummings pointed out
that the net profits on his orchard, which
was neglected for five years, increased 250
per cent, the first year that proper manage-ment
was inaugurated and that an increase
in net profits of 450 per cent, resulted last
year when the work was continued. Spray-ing,
pruning, fertilization , cultivation and
proper management were responsible for
the increased productivity, he said, point-ing
out that 250 farmers have visited the
orchard last year to witness results the.e.
Snyder declared that proper management
in one of his orchards last year resulted in
increased production sufficient to pay for a
spray machine and all spray materials.
"Dressing Up the Little Red School
House" was the subject of a talk by Prof.
I. D. App, superintendent of the county
schools. "Seventy-five per cent, of Dau-phin
Coun ;y schools last year made some
effort to improve the school grounds by
planting trees and flowers," he said. He
advocated the continuance of this work
and pointed out that the State Depart-ment
of Public Instruction in its rating of
one-room schools take cognizance of the
condition of grounds and buildings.
Speaking on the topic, "Beautif ying the
Farm Home," S. T. Witmer said: "By
using native-grown material and some
common nursery shrubs and putting in
several days of labor, the value of the
average Dauphin County farm home can
be increased 50 to 75 per cent." Five
farms were aided during the year in general
beautification.
Clayton Gingrich and Christ Balsbaugh
discussed the advantages of a ton litter
club work. "Producing a ton of pork in
180 days means quick and sure profit to
any farmer who tries for the goal," Ging-rich
said. He pointed out that raising ton
litters in the required 180 days enable
farmers to have hogs in shape to receive the
high market prices which usually come
around the latter part of August or the
early part of September.
Balsbaugh stated that the factors largely
responsible for producing ton litters were
?;etting the sows and litters on pasture,
urnishing plenty of fresh water , giving
adequate amounts of feed , and giving
personal attention to the work.
Discussing Wisconsin ration for baby
chicks, L. B. Harper said : "Wisconsin
ration involves less labor in feeding and
care, reduces the mortality of chicks, and
permits the use of home-grown feed in that
the ration consist mainly of corn ."
"City Comforts on the Farm" was the
tonic discussed by N. J. Basehore. He
pointed out that modern sanitary con-veniences
and a sewage disposal system
can be installed on the average farm for
approximately $300. Eighteen septic
tanks have been installed in Dauphin
County farms during the jxist two years,
having been built from forma loaned by the
extension association. Drainage systems
were planned and adopted at two farms
last year, and miscellaneous rura l engineer-ing
work included the construction of
water supply systems, Basehore said.
In the annual rejxjrt of County Agent
R. R. Burtner it was stated that 703 farms
were visited during the year and that
nearly 900 office calls were handled by the
association. In covering the county Burt-ner
traveled nearly eleven thousand miles
by automobile in the past twelve months.
More than fifteen thousand letters dealing
with the work of the organization were
sent out. Fift y project leaders in ten
communities, representing 2300 |>eople,
carried out the agricultura l program under
the direction of the assodat ion.

Compensation
(For being to Poor to go to Florida)
You may brag of southern climes,
In your songs and in your rhymes
You may tell the world you like the tropic
weather,
Where your nose is free from sneezes,
Where the water never freezes,
Where the soft caressing breezes
Play together.
You may sing of southern lands
Where maids lie upon the sands
Or swim out into the warm and briny ocean
You may rave about the climate,
You may sing it, you may rime it
Just by spells, or any time it
Is your notion.
As for us, we like it here
Ev'r season of the year,
Let the South enjoy its palms and alligators
While the pretty southern wimmin'
In the briny deep are swimmin',
O'er the lake we will be skimmin'
With the skaters.
Another Reminder
Don't forget the Smokestack is a year
old the first of February. Although com-ing
events cast their shadows before them,
i this case we feel we need to do a little
advertising. We are afraid the million
readers will be so excited over the advent
of Ground Hog Day that they will forget
all about the Smokestack's first birthday.
That will never do. Hence the advertising
P. S. Don't forget the cake and the
presents.
Old Stuff
"Dee Jay," some one inquires, "you say
your junk is original? How come we have
heard so many of your jokes before?"
We shall have to quote an old philoso-pher,
"There is nothing new under the
sun."
Young Ideas
When we were very young we used to
enjoy the then popular song. Red Wing."
The words of one of the lines was:
"She kept all the camp fires bright."
This was how our sensitive ear understood:
"She kept all the camphors bright."
Then there was the one line of "My Old
Kentucky Home" of which we were es-pecially
fond , namely,
"The day goes by like a shadow o'er the
heart."
We thought the line referred to the foreign
laborers passing the house on their way to
or from their work. We thought the line
was:
"The Dagoes by like a shadow o'er the
heart."
Those Radiotors
It is getting so we are about the only
sensible person in our office. The rest of
the gang have radios. Personally, we
don't care for radio. Not that we can't
afford it but—(Loud cries of "Applesauce,"
"Bologna ", "Cease Broadcasting") well,
just because we are afraid we would sit up
listening in till so late we would become a
nervous wretch. Or is it wreck?
Oh, yes, we remember now. We were
going to give voice to the sentiment of the
radiotors as regards these little one lung,
Buildem Yourself sets scattered around
town. The fans say these one cylinder
affairs are responsible for most of the
noises that come in on the expensive sets.
By noises we mean those squalls, cat-calls,
and agonizing whistles that remind the fans
of the good old Hog Butcherin' Days Down
on the Farm.
Oh well, we don't have a radio, so we
should worry and get a gray hair.
He Got a Cha nge
A wealthy business man went to a rough
camp for his summer vacation . The
cooking was bad, the beds were bad, the
insects were very bad. Upon his return he
sat upon the veranda of his palatial man-sion
enjoying a lake breeze. He com-muned
with himself after this fashion :
"You go away for a change, and I'll say
this—you never fail to get it."
Economy
The meanest man, according to the
Edinburgh Dispatch , alleged to be a tourist
from the northern section of the country,
has been found. Arriving in I^ondon , this
gentleman secured lodging within full
view of Big Ben, and he promptly stopped
his watch to save wear and tear on the
works.
A panhandler stopped the Man with the

"I have seen better days, sir," he said.
"Yes it is an ugly clay, said the Man

The Patchwork Quilt
Yes, we'll admit a boughten comforter
is a great help these cold nights , and no
doubt just as warm as the home-made
kind , but as for us, give us the home-made

Dinah's Quilling Party we were seeing

quite a bit of sentiment that just naturally
associates itself with the patchwork quilt.

bonnet ,'that piece Is from the dress Grand-ma
wore to the big barn dance at Deacon
Smith's. And sew on and sew forth. This
quilt was pieced at such and such a party.
Such and such jMirties were there. So and
so fiddled . Everybody danced.
All history is not written wit h pen and
Ink. We forsee the time when patchwork
quilts will he rarities more highly prized
than grandfather 's clocks. They will Ihi
highly prized and highl y priced because
they will lx: scarce. Why will they Ihj
scarce? Because this generation will not
make them? Why will this generation not
make them? Because they won't have
the material. In the Good Old Days a
lady wore enough clothes with which to
piece an entire quilt. Not so to-day.
Ain 't it a fact? This flimsy stuff the
ladles wear to-day wouldn 't do for making
patchwork quilts would It? Of course not.
Anyway, dresses are made of no little cloth
It'would take a lifetime to make a good
beginning on n patchwork quilt.
So—If you want to make a fortune , don't
Invest In Florida real estate, collect patch-work
quilts.

Seven Straight Victories
For Hershey
High School
Last Friday night the Hershey High
School basketball team upheld their
record of being an undefeated team by
easily defeating the Carlisle High School
combination at Carlisle by the one-sided
score of 48-9. Although the large score
indicates an easy victory, the game was
very close and interesting at times, with
the Carlisle boys displaying a -very well-coached
passing team. However Coach
Palmgren's proteges, who have been
drilled into working a strong defensive
team, prevented Carlisle from scoring
more than three field goals. In former
years Carlisle was the victor in the games
played on their own floor , but Hershey has
a team this year that appears to be stronger
than any previous high school teams, and
they met with little difficulty in running up
a large score. Carlisle's team will appear
on the home schedule in the latter part of
the season.

. Hershey High School turned in an
unusual score in its game with the Susque-hanna
Township Jfigh five Saturday,
winning by the score of 41 to 0. The
Hershey cagers ran away with the game at
the outset and a five man defense pre-vented
the Susquehanna lads from register-ing
a field goal. They also missed their
few attempts at shooting fouls.
The Hershey Girls' team defeated the
Susquehanna Township girls by the score
of 31-3 before the boys performed their
unusual feat. Summary of the boys'

The manager and coach of the high
school team are endeavoring to schedule
teams which will offer stronger opposition.
Lancaster High School and Steelton High
School may appear on the home floor , but
nothing definite has been arranged as yet.
Harrisburg Tech refused Hershey a game,
offering as an excuse that they play only
Central Pennsylvania League games.
Stronger teams are desired on the home
schedule in order to give the home people
an opportunity to see how the local boys
handle themselves with something "big."
The girls team of Die local high school
also added another victory to their credit
by subduing the Susquehanna girls in a
loosely played game which resulted in a
31-3 score. The town-people of Hershey
can boast of being represented by a strong
girls team as well as a strong boys team.
The girls that participated for Hershey
in the Susquehanna game are Belva
Smith , Katharine Ebersole, Melba Strohm,
Mary Hummer, Ruth Barnard , Winona
Baker, Dorothy Zeigler. Their scoring is
as follows:
Smith—3 field goals and 5 fouls.
Ebersole—3 field goals and 2 fouls.
Strohm—6 field goals and 0 fouls.
On Saturday afternoon there will be a
double attraction at the Men 's Club when
the Hershey boys' team will play two
games, the first with Boiling Springs and
the second with Marysville.
The High School wishes to express their
deli ght in finding that the local fans" are
coming out to the games in larger numlxirs,
and tiie loyal spirit which is being dis-played
. Your support is appreciated and
we hope that we may soon have some first -
class teams to appea r on our home (f(X)r.

Many of the initio scenes are strikingly
iM'Miitiful. There are numerous close-up
shots of Mix and other meml>crH of the
company.

This is one of the most romantic pictures
in which the western star has ap|>eared
during his long association with the Wil-liam
Fox organization.

before the Christian Era, and originally
were produced only In warm climates, are

Hershey Making Plans
For a Successful
Chautau qua
Only a short time now and our citizens
will have an opportunity to see the pro-grams
of the Swarthmore ^Chautauqua
which is scheduled to give a series of
lectures, entertainments and musical num-bers
in the Hershey High School on Friday,
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Jan. 22,
.23, 24 and 25, afternoons and evenings, j j
The Chautauqua movement is now so
wide-spread that most people know of its
origin and eariy history, but it may not be
out of place to repeat a few facts here since
we are so soon to have a Chautauqua. „|
The modern Chautauqua is an out-growth
of the Lyceum movement founded
in 1826 by Josiah Holbrook. His first
lyceum was organized in answer to the
need for an open forum where speakers
would be free from limitation of speaking
on sectarian and political platforms. Fil-ling
an important place in American social
life, the Lyceum has rendered an ever-increasing
service to democratic progress.
The leaders in American political, literary
and social life, Lowell, Holmes, Emerson,
Garrison, Sumner, Philips, Beecher, Gough
addressed their initial and their largest
audiences from the Lyceum platforms.
In time the Lyceum programs were
further enriched by the addition of high-grade
musical and entertainment numbers,
which popularized the movement still
more. In 1874, at Lake Chautauqua,
New York, Bishop John H. Vincent
organized the Chautauqua Sunday School
Association which was at first a" summer
school for religious instruction, but which
now includes the whole field of general
education for adult persons out of school.
In imitation of these summer assemblies at
Lake Chautauqua other assemblies like
the parent institution have sprung up all
over the country. They have, however,
fewer of the study groups and more of the
musical and entertainment features. They
often last for a week or more, and lectures,
concerts and entertainments are given
daily.
They are called Chautauqua because
they are like the summer assembly at Lake
Chautauqua. They embody the best and
most popular features of both Chautauqua
and Lyceum.
The cost of such an independent Chau-tauqua
is so great, however, that com-paratively
few communities could afford
to support it. Hence the origin of the
circuit Chautauqua about fifteen years
ago. A central organization purchases all
equipment, engages the lecturers, musi-cians
and entertainers, and in co-operation
with a community committee conducts a
Chautauqua in a town for a fraction of
what an independent Chautauqua would
cost.
Their popularity is best shown by their
growth and permanency. Chautauqua is
now an established institution in several
thousand towns in the United States,
Canada, Austrialia and New Zealand.
Tickets are for sale by Prof. A. M.
Hinkel, J. R. Hoffman and High School
boys.
Nissley-Swiss Chocolate
Company In Hands
Of Receivers
John Hertzler, president of the Lancas-ter
Trust Company, has been appointed
receiver for the Nissley-Swiss Chocolate
Company, Florin. The decision to apply
for a receivership followed a meeting at
which creditors of E. L. Nissley and Sons,
Florin, decided to take over the manage-ment
of the chocolate company; the
tobacco business of E. L. Nissley and Sons,
near Florin, and the El-Reeso Cigar
Company, Greensboro, N. C.
The action followed the admission of the
Florin men that they are unable to meet
pressing financial obligations. Assets are
placed at approximately $200,000 in excess
of liabilities. It is estimated that the
assets of the two companies and the one
partnership are $790,000 and liabilities
$587,500.
Intricate financial dealings are involved
in the difficulty. The Nissleys would have
sufficient assets to meet their personal
liabilities, but the fact that they have
endorsed pa|x;r of the companies in which
they are interested brought them into
troubled financial waters. Unfortunately
for the Nissleys and equally unfortunate for
the stock holders in the chocolate company
creditors hold claims against notes for
$275,000 endorsed but not made by E. L.
Nissley and Sons.
Assets, men close to the situation say,
include the plant of the Nissley Chocolate
company, Morin. and real estate of the
El-Reeso Cigar Company, Greensboro, N.
C. E. L. Nissly and Sons, as a partner-ship,
hold assets in the vicinity of Florin,
including five firms, three tobacco ware-houses,
dwelling houses, a Dauphin county
farm and a tract of land in Reading, valued
at $277,000. The partnership holds ap-proximately
$90,000 worth of tobacco,
in addition to farm stock, implements,
cattle and securities, valued at $35,000.
Direct liabilities of the three men as
members of the Florin firm, as a partner-ship
and individually arc placed at $205,-
500. These liabilities are increased by the
fact that the men endorsed notes of the
chocolate company to the sum of $257,000
and of the Kl-Recso Cigar Company to the
sum of $122,000.
Unfortunately for the stock holders in
the chocolate company the assets of that
concern are hardly sufficient to meet lia-bilities.
