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.

Because of the Chnutauciuii which Is to be held In Hershey the latter purl of this month, it him been thought wise to change the dale of the parly for the girls In the Moulding room to Tuesday night , Jan. 26th. That means just one more day to make pinna for a good time. Invitations for this will l>u sent out in u very few days now, but the girls are urged to keep the 26th an open date, "Broncho" is a word originating In Mexico and signifies "mean" and "bad" tempered as applied to a vicious nnd un-broken horie, A "broncho butter" ii merely a hone breaker. 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, Hancock, a celebrated entertainer , will bo the added attraction at the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening, Jan, 16th, at 0.30aK4 B.3~Qo'clock, in "Talking, HANCOCK AT CENTRAL THEATRE ON SATURDAY EVENING 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. Hickory Dickory Dox A mouse ran into a box This mouse I am told was spare But when it came out He was indeed very stout (Hershey Kisses were his fare) Tom G.

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. SERMON!? ON GREAT HYMNS OF CHRISTENDOM On Sunday evening In Holy Trinity Lutheran Church the pastor of the church will Ixigin a series of sermons on "The Great Hymns of Christendom."

The hymn themes such as, Rock of Ages; Jesus, I-over of My Soul; Face to Face; Holy, Holy, Holy; A Mighty Fortress nnd others that will l>e used are hymns that have been powerful factor In supporting and spreading the doctrines of the Christian Church. The aim in these sermons will Ixs to make them practical , pointed and thoroughly evangelical.

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.

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 kind everytime. Wasn't it from Aunt Dinah's Quilling Party we were seeing Nellie home. Of corset was. There is quite a bit of sentiment that just naturally associates itself with the patchwork quilt. Into it grandma , and sister and mother have written a story as effective as that produced by any tapestry weaver. This piece was from Great Grandmother 's sun 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.

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. The lineup: Hershey High School GFPts. J. Purcell, Capt., f 8 3 19 G. Stover, f 9 0 18 R. Sponagle, c 4 1 9 M.

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' game: HERSHEY G FPts. J.

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.

Scenes in Color Add to Charm of New Mix Picture Tom Mix in "The Yankee Senor" will be the attraction »t the Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday evening, Jan. 19th, at 7.30 o'clock. This is the screen version of "Con-quistador," the famous novel by Knlhcrlne Fullei ton Gerould .' und many of the scenes are in Technicolor. It fell to the lot of the western ace to introduce the new color scheme nt the Fox studio, and lOinniett Flynn , directing Mix , has made the l>cHt possible use of llie in-novation. "The Yankee Senor" is a colorful story of Old Mexico and affords Mix a wonderful opixntunity for some splendid action. Many of the initio scenes are strikingly iM'Miitiful. There are numerous close-up shots of Mix and other meml>crH of the company. The cast Includes the vivacious Olive Borden, Margaret Livingston , Katluyn Hill , Martha Maltox , Francis McDonald , Alec Francis nnd others. Beautiful wild-llower sequences were filmed In Wyoming, The Spanish hacienda scenes were laid in Southern California. Tony has his usual IiIkIi moments -and his master docs a tango with Margare t Livingston . 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. Watermelons, which were enjoyed long before the Christian Era, and originally were produced only In warm climates, are now raised In every state in the Union except Maine and New Hampshire. 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. Lloyd GilmanjTo Sing jllnder Walter Damrosch Lloyd B.

Full Text | 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, Hancock, a celebrated entertainer , will bo the added attraction at the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening, Jan, 16th, at 0.30aK4 B.3~Qo'clock, in "Talking, HANCOCK AT CENTRAL THEATRE ON SATURDAY EVENING 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. Hickory Dickory Dox A mouse ran into a box This mouse I am told was spare But when it came out He was indeed very stout (Hershey Kisses were his fare) Tom G.

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. SERMON!?

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 Marble Top. "I have seen better days, sir," he said. "Yes it is an ugly clay, said the Man with the Marble Top, "but I haven 't time to discuss the weather with you now." Teacher—Can you tell me who succeed-ed Edward the Sixth? Pupil—Mary. Teacher—Who followed Mary? Pupil—Her little lamb. Courage , Brother Don't get discouraged. If you can 't tell 'em Ash can. 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 kind everytime. Wasn't it from Aunt Dinah's Quilling Party we were seeing Nellie home. Of corset was. There is quite a bit of sentiment that just naturally associates itself with the patchwork quilt. Into it grandma , and sister and mother have written a story as effective as that produced by any tapestry weaver. This piece was from Great Grandmother 's sun 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. Skin Shneffcr says he has retired. That is, retired the cart in which the Men's Club delivers the Sunday jjuiws. He hna put on Iron Urea in place of rubber bo customers can hear him coming before ho gets there, and have their money waiting for him when he arriree. 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. The lineup: Hershey High School GFPts. J. Purcell, Capt., f 8 3 19 G. Stover, f 9 0 18 R. Sponagle, c 4 1 9 M.

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' game: HERSHEY G FPts. J.

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. Scenes in Color Add to Charm of New Mix Picture Tom Mix in "The Yankee Senor" will be the attraction »t the Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday evening, Jan. 19th, at 7.30 o'clock. This is the screen version of "Con-quistador," the famous novel by Knlhcrlne Fullei ton Gerould .' und many of the scenes are in Technicolor. It fell to the lot of the western ace to introduce the new color scheme nt the Fox studio, and lOinniett Flynn , directing Mix , has made the l>cHt possible use of llie in-novation. "The Yankee Senor" is a colorful story of Old Mexico and affords Mix a wonderful opixntunity for some splendid action. Many of the initio scenes are strikingly iM'Miitiful. There are numerous close-up shots of Mix and other meml>crH of the company. The cast Includes the vivacious Olive Borden, Margaret Livingston , Katluyn Hill , Martha Maltox , Francis McDonald , Alec Francis nnd others. Beautiful wild-llower sequences were filmed In Wyoming, The Spanish hacienda scenes were laid in Southern California. Tony has his usual IiIkIi moments -and his master docs a tango with Margare t Livingston . 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. Watermelons, which were enjoyed long before the Christian Era, and originally were produced only In warm climates, are now raised In every state in the Union except Maine and New Hampshire. 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. Lloyd GilmanjTo Sing jllnder Walter Damrosch Lloyd B.
