              Girl Reserves to
Conduct Orient Sale
at Hershe y Inn
The Y. W. C. A. is making it possible for
the people of Hershey to do their Christ-mas
shopping in the Orient. A very
beautiful and inexpensive line of Japanese
goods will be on sale in the lobby of the
Hershe y Inn on afternoons and evening
beginning Wednesday, Nov. 18 and con-tinuing
as long as the need demands it.
This sale is being conducted by the High
School Club of the Girl Reserves and is for
club activities, so those who patronize the
sale will be accomplishing at least two
things: getting beautiful Christmas gifts
at a reasonable rate and helping and en-couraging
the girls in their efforts. The
sale will open on Wednesday afternoon at
4.00 o'clock, and each af ternoon thereafter
as long as the people wish it.
Miss Dorothy Hill, Miss Rachel Baker,
advisers for this club, accompanied by
Miss Gurney, will go to Lancaster over
the week-end to attend a Girl Reserve con-ference.
By comparing notes with other
Girl Reserves Clubs and Triangles, many
helpful suggestions are gathered, and in
turn brought back to our own groups. A
report of this conference will be given in
the "Press" next week.
A very pretty and suggestive pageant
was given by the members of the Blue
Triangle Girl Reserves at the Association
last Sunday afternoon as a fitting close for
the week of world fellowship. The name
of the pageant was "An Adventure in
Friendship" and portrayed the blue
triangle at work around the globe. Girls'
work is being done in twenty-five localities
with a total membership of 177,000 teen
age girls. Some are called girl guides,
cadets, girl citizens in trainin g, but all
carry on the same program, which in its
entirety helps train the girl to "Face Life
Squarel y" and to "Find and Give the
Best."
Jackie Coogan in
"The Ra g Man "
Thanks giving Day
Back to his "enduring rags" once more,
Jackie Coogan will come to the Hershey
Central Theatre on Thanksgiving Day,
Thursday, Nov. 26th , in his latest Metro-
Goldwyn picture, "The Rag Man." Those
folk who have been demanding to see the
Jackie they first loved in "The Kid," will
have their opportunity, for he is said to
have a similar role that gives him just as
much chance for pathos and even more for
comedy.
There will be two shows, 6.30 and 8.30
o'clock.
The story was written especially for the
child star by Willard Mack, and this dis-tinguished
playwright has constructed a
humorous and thrilling tale as only he can,
full of activity, but not crowded with com-plications.
In "The Rag Man," Jackie is once more
a regular American boy, a lad from the
sidewalks of New York. In his other
recent pictures he lias been wandering all
over the map in a variety of roles.
Mainly, however, "The Rag Man" is an
appeal to the humor that is to be extracted
from life. Jackie is not exactly a comedian
—he is more than that , for comedians are
too frequently merely mimics and mum-mers,
exhibiting tricks and mannerisms
wi thout any spiritual or mental humor.
But Jackie's comedy is as appealing as a
Mark Twain anecdote, because it is in-vested
with character and a human quality
that is not taught in any school of acting.
The story relates the adventures of
little Tim Kelly after he has lost his home
in a New York orphan asylum that is seen
to burn to the ground. Tim Kell y is
registered as among those th.1t perished in
the (lames and Tim is well satisfied to he
considered a "dead one", for he finds him-self
a home and a job with old Max Gins-berg,
who begins by befriending the boy
and ends by being befriended by him.
Such a plot scheme obviously gives every
opportunity for comedy touches which are
given weight and depth by episodes ap-pealing
to the heart ol the most stolid.
The supporting roles are in the best of
hands. Max Davidson as Ginsberg, the
junk dealer who adopts Tim Kelly, gave a
memorable performance, full of quaint
appeal. Lydia Yeamans Titus as the
Apple Woman mingled a breath of comedy
effect with adroit touches of whimsy.
Robert Kdcsoii gave a master performance
of the crook reformed by Tim , and William
Conklin was sturdy and fine and persuasive
in his role of the New York attorney.

Bishop Hershe y Dies
at Age of 83
Funeral services will be held Thursday
afternoon (today) at 2 o'clock for Bisho p
Elias H. Hershey, father of Ezra P. Her-shey,
and uncle of Mr. M. S. Hershey.
Bishop Hershey will be buried in Longe-necker's
Cemetery, near Lancaster, follow-ing
the services which will be held in the
Reformed Mennonite Meeting House,
Lancaster. ¦•¦
¦ . ¦ ¦ • .
The death of Bishop Hershey on Mpiv-day-"
at the age of 83 came unexpectedly
after a short illness.
The clergyman ,wa,s a retired farmer-;
who began preaching in the Reformed
Mennonite Church in 1873. In 1886 he
was ordained as bishop, an office he held
until death. It was immediately after the
death of his wife, Elizabeth Miller Frantz
Hershey, in 1906, that he devoted his
entire time to his work in the church.
Bishop Hershey was born m Hershey,
Derry Township, long before the town of
Hershey was established and named. The
Hershey homestead, which was his birth-place
and also the birthplace of Mr. M. S.
Hershey, was the nucleus of the Hershey
Industrial School, which now consists of a
group of buildings. The homestead is still
referred to as "the original school."
It was in 1869 that the bishop, then an
active farmer, -moved from Derry Town-ship
to Lancaster County, and it was there
that he spent most of his remaining days,
although he frequently visited and con-ducted
Reformed Mennonite Church
services throughout Eastern Pennsylvania.
He was a man who endeared himself to
everyone who knew him, on account of his
great unselfishness and pleasing personali-ty.
In addition to the son, Ezra F. Hershey,
he is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Monroe
Pfoutz, of Manheim, and another son, C.
F. Hershey, of Detroit.
Something Auto be
Done to Direct Traffic
In Hershe y
Many people of Hershey complain that
their spare moments, which should be
devoted to relaxation, are taken up by the
irksome duty of traffic regulation. No,
they do not stand in the middle of the
street and direct the flow of traffic. But
they do claim they are kept fairly busy by
automobilists who want to know the way
to Elizabethtown or Harrisburg or Read-ing
or Sand Beach.
When you come to think of it there
seems to be more truth than poetry in
what these people say. We Hersheyites
who have lived here any length of time
never stop to notice whether there are any
signs in Hershey for the direction of the
stranger. Our thoughts, as we hurry to
work on week days, or saunter along on a
Sunday, are of things more important to
us than the road to Elizabethtown or Sand
Beach.
But to the stranger, out for a Sunday
drive, his whereabouts interest him greatly,
and no doubt it spites him sorely and leaves
a bad taste in hismouth if in passing through
Hershey he has to inquire three or four
times before he finds the road that will lead
him to his destination.
Those who are pestered by inquiring
strangers tell us Something Auto Be Done.

From Cocoa Bean ^
To Chocolate
and Cocoa Town
By J. B. MacLean in
"The Industrial Digest"
When Columbus returned from his
discovery of the New World in 1492 he
brought back to Spain a few .cacahoatl
beans as curios for his queen. Later
Cortez was entertained in dazzling splen-dor
by Montezuma in Mexico with .flajgons
and golden goblets of chocolatl flavored,
with vanilla and- other spices. He " re-turned
to Spain with unbelievable tales of a
beverage created by Divine Providence for
the delight of men and gods, surpassing
even fabled nectar and ambrosia and in
common use among the Aztecs for cen-turies
past.
The Aztecs are today gone from the face
of the earth but their precious drink lives
after them. The cacahoatl beans, which
they also used for currency in trade and
called "blessed money," are today the
cacao or "cocoa" bean which is the basic
raw material in one of our greatest food
industries. The chocolatl paste and liquor
which once the Aztecs alone of all people
knew how to prepare, is today the choco-late
and cocoa served throughout the
world.
Chocolate was first introduced to the
civilized world, of course, in Spain. But
from there it spread rapidly via Italy and
Austria to all the rest of Europe and the
early settlers in America brought it back
to this continent. Today chocolate and
cocoa are so universal as to be almost a
commonplace in every household and their
high autritive qualities have given them a
place of prominence even in tha food for
armies and navies, hunters and explorers.
The process of making the cacao bean,
which grows all around the equatorial
waistband of the world, into a savory and
energizing food to be shipped to the four
corners of the earth has been raised at the
Hershey Chocolate Company plant in
Hershey, Pa., to something a bit more than
a science. The writer has been through
many great industrial plants and, of course,
in all of them there are mechanical achieve-ments
wherein machines mix and sort,
pack, wrap and seal, which must be
counted among the marvels of the age.
The danger in this lies, however, in the
complete exclusion of the human element,
the cold mechanical calculations of output
per day or hour. The impressive thing
about the Hershey plant is the pride which
the workers seem to take, not so much in
the quantity of their output—which, of
course, is enormous—but in the quality of
their product; and in the immaculate
cleanliness of the entire plant rather than
in the fact that it contains 50 acres of floor
space.
"See," said the foreman of the depart-ment
which performs the first operation on
the cacao beans when they arrive from the
tropics, "see how clean these beans are
when we get through with them." Run-ning
his hand down into the receptacle into
which was flowing a stream of beans from
one of the dozens of great cleaning ma-chines,
he held up a handful for inspection.
They fairly glistened with cleanliness, and
that , rather than the fact that each day
his department cleaned 225,000 pounds of
beans, was the foreman's pride.
And so it was in the roasting section of
the plant , where large revolving ovens are
filled to a certain point with the immacu-lately
washed beans, where they are sub-jected
to a constant temperature of 155
degrees for a length of time that has been
found sufficient to bring out the full rich
flavor of the bean and to dry it thoroughly
without otherwise altering its chemical
constituents. The emphasis here was not
on the large capacity of these ovens but
on the exact uniformity of their product.
Amid the din of revolving machinery the
writer was led through row after row of
trucks filled with roasted cocoa beans still
warm from the ovens and all "cooked" a
unif orm deep brown color.
From the roasting rooms the beans flow
down by gravity to the next floor where
they are crushed , run over vibrating
screens which eliminate the shells and eyes
and leave the nibs from which chocolate
and cocoa are made. The shells and eyes
are used by the Hershey company for
fer tilizer on its farms— -of which more anon
—and th e nibs are run on mechanical
conveyors to the grinding machines—
huge troughs with three sets o( steel-en-cased
revolving granite busr stones which ,
in the grinding process, create such heat as
to melt the ground nibs into a thick rich
chocolate colored "liquor. " This liquor is
run into pans where it is allowed to solidify.
Al this point the process forks out in two
directions, one for the manufacture of
cocoa , the other for chocolate, lo make
cocoa the solidified chocolate mass is
placed in huge hydraulic presses in which a
certain portion of its high oil content is
squeezed out by 5,(H X) ixmnds ,pressure.
Some of this oil, or cocoa butter as it is
called , is added to the cocoa liquor Of
which chocolate is to be made, and the
balance is sold to confectioners for use in
flavorings. After having been subjected
lo this high pressure lor several hours the
cocoa comes out in hard , dry cukes, which
are then ground again until t hey have been
reduced to a lin e powder which is strained
through line mesh silk , canned mid sealed
aiiloimitically with out the touch of human
hand s. This is the I lershey 's cocoa which
is sold in all the markets of the world.
In the preparation ol milk chocolate
(h ere are other Ingredients lo be mixed
wi th the chocolate liquor. There Is milk
iij icJ sugar and , in the case of I lershey 's nut
bars, almonds, The almonds, after a
ri gid inspection and sizing over a "teeter-
In g-screcn ," are put in without being sub-jected
to any further trea t ment ; but with
Ihe milk and sugar used it is altogether
differ ent. . ..
The Hershey plant uses some ;M() ,(XX )
quarts of milk a day, more milk , in cidental-ly
, than Is used daily by u good-sized city ,
This milk Is obtained from Mr. Hei'shey 's
own cows-on noine B,(XX) acres of his model
faniiH in the surrounding territory and
from other farms in the iielghlxirhood , all
of which are subjected to regular inspec-tion,
When Ihe milk is received al the
plant it is clarified and condensed in a
hu ge creamery plant, within the great
ll ershey (.•[ilabllHMiienl ; t hen dried and
pulverized. The sugar used also Is pul-verized

received a missive which made the blood

Here is the letter:

people and on the seventh day you will

you raise enough money to deposit on the

to something like §10,737,418.2-1, doesn 't
it?
And if this letter has been multiplying
by sevens ever since "Flanders Field",
enough postage stamps have been used in
its circulation to cover Pennsylvania once

a few days before.
"() Promise; Me, " his betrothed had
begged , "that you will give up your smelly
pipe, your effeminate cigarettes , your
horrid cigars, playing card s for money,
except bridge, and that you will never ,
never flirt with another woman."
"I promise," he had said , telling himself
that he need only live up lo his agreement
until the fatal wedding day. Then he
could resume his old habits.
But somehow, as John Baritone swung
into the homestretch , the groom begun to
wonder if , after all , he had not made a
slight mistake in his figures. He won -

State Joins U. S.
in Thanks giving
Governor Pinchot in a proclamation
united in President Coolidgein settingaside
Thursday, November 26, as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer for the blessings
which have been bestowed in the last year.
The proclamation follows:
"Whereas , Almighty God in His infinite
mercy has brought us through another
year of peace and plenty, has stretched
forth His hand to every section of our
great State and has everywhere left the
marks of his loving kindness, and
"Whereas , the results of the Divine
beneficence are manifest on every hand in
better homes, better schools, increased
prosperity and happier lives,
"Now, therefore, I, Gilford Pinchot,
Governor of the Commonwealth of Penn-sylvania,
do unite with the President of the
United States in appointing and proclaim-ing
Thursday, the 26th day of November,
as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, when
our people may assemble in their homes
and in their respective places of worship,
and, grateful for the blessings which have
been bestowed upon them in the past year,
turn with ferven t prayer toward Almighty
God with due thanks for His providence
and mercy and humble supplication for
their continuance in the year before us.
"I do especially recommend that in our
gratitude for the blessings which have
come to us at home, we shall not forget the
sufferings of less fortunate peoples, and
especially of those who lack the bare
necessities of life, and that we resolve to
lend our help to worthy movements de-signed
for their relief. And I gladly call
attention in this appropriate place to
Golden Rule Sunday, which will be ob-served
on December 6 throughout the
world under the leadership of Americans."
Let Us Give Thanks
Well can America offer up devout
thanks. We live under the best form of
government in the world. Our people
enjoy the best living conditions of any
nation in the world. No nation in the
world has greater religious freedom or
more facilities for the higher education of
the young generation. No country has as
man y comfortably circumstanced home-owners.
No land approachs us in nat ional
wealth. No country In the world has a
greater variety of fertile , productive soil.
In no na tion in the world are so many
wage-earners and tillers of the soil enjoying
steady employment at comfortable re-muneration.
In no other country are
there such countless opportunities for self-advancement.
American taxpayers do
not have to carry the burden of a huge
artny. Unlike many countries the United
Slates does not have conscription. No
oilier people have the facilities and the
means to enjoy so mucn entertainment ,
amusement and recreation. We are
blessed by the absence of waste. We live
under a stable , sensible, economical Ad-ministration.
Our systems of communica-tion-
railroad , telegraph , telephone, auto-mobile,
radio are unmatched . Our rich-est
men of affairs exercise a generosity not
equalled anywhere. Slums are almost un-known,
Few who are honest need ever go
hun gry. We are developing a realization
slowl y, perhaps thai we are our broth-er
's keeper , that we have a responsibility
towards others. Neither our borders nor
our shores are threatened with war. We
are abundantly blessed with peace and
plenty and with the means for extending a
helping hand lo others less happily circum-stanced.
Yes: well may America offer up devout
thanks.

Buck Jones in
"Durand Of The Bad
Lands ", Tuesda y
There is a lure to the desert country of
the great Southwest. Who can say how
many thousands of men—and women, too
—have risked, and even lost, their lives
fighting against the almost hopeless odds
with which Mother Nature has seen fit to
endow the barren country, insofar as
human habitation is concerned?
In "Durand of the Bad Lands," the
William .Fox production starring Buck
Jones, to be shown at the Hershey Central
Theatre on Tuesday, Nov. 27th , at 7.30
o'clock, the picture fans will be trans-ported
to that vast outdoor space and
perhaps will understand, after viewing this
dramatic story, something of the hold that
the desert has on the hearts of men.
A cast of unusual excellence will be seen
in support of Buck Jones. Marian Nixon,
one of the daintiest of the new leading
women of the screen, plays the heroine,
while others in the cast are Carol Lom-bard
, Malcolm Wake, Fred De Silva , Luke
Cosgrove, James Corrigan and George
Lessley.

Gloria Swanson in—
"Madame Sans Gene"
On Saturda y
It 's here at last! "Madame Sans
Gene," Gloria Swanson's newest Para-mount
picture, which will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday
evening, Nov. 21st, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock
"Madame Sans Gene," produced in
Paris by Leonce Perret with the co-opera-tion
of the Fine Arts Ministry of the
French government , was adapted for the
screen by Forrest Halsey, who wrote the
screen play, "The Humming Bird," etc.,
from the French comedy stage classic by
Victorien Sardou and Emile Moreau.
Even for Gloria Swanson, whose screen
efforts are always acted in elaborate set-tings
and gowns, "Madame Sans Gene" is
an unusually luxurious production. It
was filmed in France, and the backgrounds
include the palaces at Versailles, Fon-tainebleau
and Compiegne, spots hitherto
forbidden to motion picture directors.
Gloria is seen sleeping in the actual golden
bed ol Marie Antionette, flirting in the
gardens where that unfortunate Queen
conducted her amorous intrigues, and
coquetting with Napoleon (Emile Drain)
in the actual private chamber which the
real Napoleon occupied. The results are
said to be startingly realistic in the ex-treme.
In "Madame Sans Gene" (Madame
Devil-May-Care), Miss Swanson has the
role of the witty, flirtatious little French
laundress, who used to wash Napoleon's
shirts for him, when he was an impecun-ious
corporal , who married one of Na-poleon's
sergeants, and who was swept by
the French Revolution into the title of
Duchess and residence in Napoleon's
court, where she alternately scandalized
and sent into hilarious laughter the haugh-ty
lords and ladies, ending by saving the
Empress's honor and winning for herself
Napoleon 's eternal gratitude.
Charles de Roche, the only member of
the supporting cast with any motion
picture experience in this country, has the
leading man's role, that of a young ser-geant
who marries Sans Gene.
Besides de Roche, Warrick Ward,
popular English leading man; Emile Drain,
probably the foremost portrayer of the
character of Napoleon in the world today,
appear in the cast.
