              GOOD SALE OF
CHAUTAUQUA TICKETS

During the past week the sale of
the tickets for the Hershey Chautau-qua
has been pushed in Hershey and
the surrounding towns. Tickets are
in the hands of ticket sellers who are
making a house canvass in Hershey.

Deem, Miss Sadie Hummel, Miss May
Moyer and Mrs. Ulrich Weltmer.
In Hummelstown Miss Maud Baker
has charge of all the tickets for that
territory, and Palmyra is being cover-ed
by L. S. Heisey. These parties are
the sole agents of the Chautauqua
Committee in the territory that has
been assigned to them and thejse de-two
reasons for this; first, that ac-cording
to the contract the local com-mittee
has with the Chautauqua As-sociation,
only a limited number of
the season tickets can be sold; second,
after the opening of the Chautauqua
the price of the season ticket will be
raised to $2.50. This raise will take
effect at noon September 4th.
The non-transferable evening
tickets for employes only are in the
hands of the time keepers in the fac-tory

them. These tickets must be bought
before the opening of the Chautauqua.

This makes it possible for all persons
living on the Hershey trolley lines to
attend the Chautauqua and enjoy a
five cent_f are to and from the sessions
of the assembly,

It is important that those who are
going to be the Chautauqua patrons

Foreign Missionary Society of his de-nomination.
No man on the Ameri-can
platform ; possesses a more ex-tensive
vocabulary arid a greater
command of the English language
than does Bishop Bell, he also po-sesses
a warm heart, a broad, liberal
mind, a beautiful voice and a.manner
that is. pleasing and persuasive in
^"" ^ itsself:"1
I Bishop Bell is a man who can inter-pret
Gospel truth, into the world's
new conditions, experiences and fel-lowships;
"he is a prophet of the new
order" and, undoubtedly, will fill a
still larger place in illuminating the
minds of the American people on "So-cial
Problems and Social Progress."
Aside from the message, the music
will be a feature. A sacred concert
will be rendered by the Hershey band
preceding the service under the di-
- rectioh of Mr. S. J. Peese. During
the service the music will be furnish-ed
by & l&*g& chorus, the choral so-ciety,
the Hershey band, and the con-gregation.
Notice the change^ of the time of
this special service which will be 3.00,
in the afternoon instead of in the
evening.

MONTHLY FIRE COMPANY
MEETING HELD
The gymnasium class of the Y. W.
C. A. has rented a cottage in Stover-dale
from the 10th of August to the
24th.
The class saw the need of this as
many girls expressed that wish that
they might have a place to go to
spend a few days at very little ex-pense.
The girls got thei* heads together
and planned this little treat for all
members who desired a short and in-expensive
vacation. They assume the
rent of the cottage and the only ex-pense
incurred will be for the light
housekeeping which will be necessary
in which all will share alike. All
members are-welcome to come for as
long or a short a time as they find
convenient.
An important business meeting of
the gymnasium class will be held
Thursday, evening, August 8, at 8
o'clock.' All are urged to be present.
The object of the meeting is primarily
to complete all plans for the Stover-dale
camp, and secondarily to discuss
the proposition of forming an Athletic
Association.

Never in the history of the Her-shey
park have the attendance records
soarded so high as this week. The
records have been broken for regular
picnic days, and it is doubtful if any
of the regular picnic parks, outside
of Willow Grove Park, have had any ..
larger picnics or . even a larger M1H1-
ber ..of them this season than the
Beautibul Hershey Park. Over two
thousand "picnickers were here on
Tuesday; and the other picnics run
close to the thousand mark. .: ;.
