COME TO HERSHEY SUNDAY, JAN, 14 Another Great Address Will be Given at the Union Services in the Her-shey Central Theater And All Are Invited. Dr. Charles C. Ellis the Speaker Hershey has been fortunate in se-curing another great speaker for the union services in the Hershey Central Theatre beginning at 3 o'clock next Sunday afternoon, January 14. In this Valley are more members of the Church of the Brethren than in any section pf like area in the world. That is why the Brethren held their big annual meeting here that attracted nearly a hundred thousand visitors to Hershey in June 1915. For this meeting the Hershey Convention Hall was rushed so as to be ready for the use of the confer-ence. The Brethren's meeting was one of the local events in the way of crowds and interest. So, it seemed that the Church of the Brethren ought to be represented in the union services. The United Brethren, the Lutherans and . the Presbyterians had secured their foremost orators and the people crowded to hear them. So far this season the union meetings have been signally successful. Leading members of, the Church of the Brethren .were, con-sulted and they suggested two names— Governor Brumbaugh, -who is a preacher in their church, and Dr. Charles ; Calvert Ellis, head of the English Department in their leading institution, Juniata College. Governor Brumbaugh accepted but he cannot come until April. A tele-gram to Dr. Ellis brought a favorable reply, and so this Sunday he will deliver his famous lecture on "The Big-gest "Word in the Dictionary." He has spoken in Hershey and all who heard him want to hear him again. Those who have not heard him should not miss the opportunity. Everyone is invited. Admission is free ; not even a collection is taken up. There will be special music. The address will be an eloquent pre-sentation of the inherent capabilities of youth. It is full of humor and inspira-tiorii the kind of address thaLkeeps people awake and that does them good. All young men should hear it. This is what is said of Dr. Ellis: Dr. Ellis has been (lecturing for some years to different types of audiences. The one word that has been heard of-tenest in description of his lectures is the word inspirational. No word better describes them. For this reason his ad-dresses have always been most in de-mand where young people predominate. One Indiana town has had him on its lecture course four successive years. One Pennsylvania county institute had him five different times for a week of day lectures and a popular evening lecture. Two Virginia colleges have had him . on their lecture courses three times each. He is in great demand. Several years ago, County Superintendent T. S, Davis, said: "Charles Calvert Ellis is a young man whose power as an orator, logic as a thinker , and wit as an entertainer is not surpassed by any of the so-called 'BigGuns. '" The following is the tribute of another competent critic: "He has more power than most lecturers ; he is a sincerely earnest man; his fund of il-lustration is wonderful and intensely interesting; the influence he exerts is refreshing, wholesome and lasting, " ' HERSHEY IS SAFER Some of those who left Hershey for munitions wages are applying for their old jobs or something else, They say Hershey and its regular work looks good to them , and they want to live in a clean orderly town. Applications for work here arc increasing. There lire signs that the big wages in llio war-made factories will not continue and in ninny cases employees are discharged without notice. Em-ployment at Hershey never was HO de-sirable as It is now. EXCELLENT PICTURES Saturday evening, January 111 at the Hershey Central Theatre the nltnicllon will be Charlotte Walker in n great.

They are Remark- . able Specimens And They Will be Saved for Easter ' Flower Show. Plants • Six big, handsome boxwoods from Holland we're received in Hershey this week. They are four feet in diameter and ball shaped and are among , the finest specimens ever seen in America. The Holland growers have a knack of doing these ; things a bit better than Americans; possibly it is because the Americans have not the patience. In the same shipment came two very remarkable chairs, each, a boxwood bush, the whole chair being made of a single growing plant. These extra-ordinary chairs will be used in the Dutch garden in the Spring Flower Show. Thousands of bulbs received -earlier and now the coming of these chairs show that the war is not interfering with Harry Haverstick in getting in his supplies for the floral and plant development of Hershey and the carrying out of Hershey plans in beautifying the grounds and roads. All this work is going on, but of course in the. present weather the lahor is largely that of preparation. Just now the mam thought is of the Spring Flower Show to be given at Easter, in the first part of April.. The intention is to male it surpass anything in the past. . Last year it was a record-breaking success, with thousands in attendance and many present from the large cities. This year it will be much more ambitious. Over 20,000 pants and blooms will be shown. Thousands of fine bulbs are now in trenches waiting to be taken up on the 15th of February and forced to their utmost beauty for the big show. The exhibits of lilies, tulips and hyacinths will be profuse and brilliant, and Haverstick- is quietly gath-ering a lot of surprises for the lovers of flowers. All will be seen at the Easter Show TONIGHT'S BIG CONCERT Musical Event of the Season at Central Theatre Tonight at 8:15 the Hershey Male Chorus will give its third annual concert at the Central Theatre. It will be under the direction of W. L. Dubois, who has worked so hard and so successfully in developing the organization. The soloist will be Master Adam Harnrne, the wonderful boy soprano of York, who has a voice of marked value and sweetness. He will sing Tosti's "Good Bye," and Rossini's "Inflarrimatus," dif-ficult works which will show the range and caliber of his vocalism. The club quartette will sing two numbers and the chorus will sing eight numbers. The program is rich in variety and the music is full of melody, so that everyone will enjoy every part of it, On Tuesday night the chorus gave its program at Elizabethlown, There was a large attendance and the applause was enthusiastic, there being several encores. Master . Hamme won an ovation and his voice was a sensation . The success in Elizabethlown forecasts a fine triumph this evening, The chorus will have its full strength. THE GREAT SHOW .

ASSOCIATION HAS FINE YEAR Y. W. C. A. Has Two Hundred Mem-bers And it Finished Its Fifth Year With a Handsome Sur-plus. Enjoyable Annual Meeting. Luncheon The fifth annual meeting of the Y. W. C. A. was one of the most successful and interesting the organization has eyer had. The largre assembly room was filled. Mrs. M. L. Hershey, the president, made, a. gracious presiding officer and kept the proceedings moving splendidly. Miss Bertha Moyer was secretary. Ex-cellent music was iurnished "by a com-mittee under the leadership of Miss Mumma ' and a quartette of members distinguished itself by two numbers which evoked applause. At present the association has no general secretary, the successor to Miss Trace not having been chosen, and Mrs Hershey made the reporLancL-presented the review of the year's work which the secretary usually reads. It was a most favorable account «f the successful ac-tivities of the year with growing usefulness of the association not only in taking care of its members but in stimulating thern in directions that added greatly to their happiness. The _ exchange and general work, the various classes and the liter-ature had all been kept up to their high mark. . The membership is about 200. Mrs. Ida M. Chase, who has been house secretary and cafeteria directress since the middle of last August , reported that an average of 133 meals had been served daily and that the average price was 14-cents. Improvements include new beds, bathroom furn ishings and needed furniture. The house is more attractive and comfortable now than it ever has been. The rates to girls are now 50, 75 and $1.25 per week, probably the lowest enjoyed for such accommodations. The members living in the building also have special rates in the cafeteria, Others are charged more, but even then the prices are very reasonable, An in-increasing number of women and girls are writing for rooms so that they may spend their vacations in Hershey. In this respect preference is always given to the girls who work in Hershey, and at present they occupy practically all of the accommodations. Mrs, Flowers and Mrs, Linn Haw-becker, delegates to the summer con-ferences, presented unusually valuable reports on their visits. They made these reports of real benefi t, as they included in them their own observations of the meetings and the new ideas they had picked up in their travels, These, like other reports, showed the earnest spirit of the Hershey Association in nil its work. A model report that elicited praise was that of the treasurer , Miss Annu Mowery, If was a complete statin 1 tlcial statement of the year 's work of the association , very alily digested and tabu-luted. It showed expenditures of over eight, thousand dollars and a gratifying surplus. lhe nominating committee.

A Few Have Been Found in Her-shey and Some Have Also Been Captured Six flies have been killed in the Hershey Press Building since the New Year began. This is the newest structure in Hershey with all the improvements in ventilation and sanitation and so the presence of the flies shows that there are some in Hershey waiting for the warmer weather in which to breed their, millions. It means that Hershey's fly campaign, one of the famous fights of its kind, must be waged with renewed energy this year. And now is the.time to begin. The same organization will be main-tained, with William F. R. Murrie as chajrman and W. L. Dubois as secretary. There are permanent committees that have in their charge every street, alley and building of the town. Hershey 's fight against the fly began two years ago. The first year's results were good but not large. Last year there were no flies in Hershey until after the first week in August, Other towns of the Valley had flies several weeks before Hershey, showing that the campaign here had been practical and beneficial. This year by beginning early and waging the war unceasingly Hershey can be rid of the pests. But it means killing every winter fly in sight—in never letting up on the fight. Among the news items of the week was this from New "York : "Through the • capture of the first winter fly of the year Miss Catherine Brennan , of this city, not only has pre-vented the potential existence of about a billion flies next summer, but has won a prize offered by Edward Hatch , Jr „ a chairman of the Merchants' Association Committee on Pollution, In submitting the fly Miss Brennan made affidavits that she had found it under the kitchen table in her home after a search of several hours which extended even to Broad-way restaurants. Mr. Hatch had pre-viously announced he would give a prize to the first person sending to the Mer-chants ' association the first fly captured after the beginning of the year, One of the rules of the contest was that the insect must be "wild" fly, that is, a fly that had not been nurtured and reserved for capture, " livery progressive community, lie it town or city, is fighting the flies this year, Hershey ought to innke the record , It has a line start and nil that is needed is persistence and cooperation, NO DANCE THIS EVENING Owing to the concert of the Hershey Men 's Chorus at the Central Theatre this evening there -will be no dance In the Press Building. But beginning the 18th there will be a dunce every Thursday evening, with a special orchestra, The dances have proven very successful. NIP AND TUCK WENT THE GAME Here Was a Came That Was With While And That Thrilled the Large. Crowd And Delighted Every-one, Even If It Did Result in Hershey's Defeat The most thrilling game of the season was played at the Men's Club court last Friday evening when Hershey's Big Five met defeat at the hands of the fast Rosewood A. C. of Harrisburg in a game that required a five minute ex-tra period. The game at the close of regulation time was deadlocked at 34. In • the extra minutes Hershey had sev-eral chances to win but Shenk was not able to land his shots from the penalty mark. Rosewood scored a field goal and a foul. The final score was 37 to 36. ' The game was a nip and tuck affair throughout, the lead alternating many times. Hershey played a great floor game, but were off in their shooting while on the other hand Rosewood . con-tributed a number of sensational shots. Kline at forward and Trump at guard registered 13 goals between them, 8 of which went to the former. For Hershey Zentrneyer. tallied the 'highest number of field goals. He was credited with four while his opponent was able to land only one. Shenk, Wirth' and Hench each tallied three goals from the field and Leibfried one. Slesser had an off night at the guard position allowing his man eight baskets, and was unable to score a point. The score: Hershey Rosewood Shenk. .' . . , . ¥ . . . . : .Kline Wirth...... :F..

THE GOVERNOR IN HERSHEY Dr. and Mrs. Brumbaugh Dine at the Hershey Cafe Governor and Mrs. Brumbaugh mo-tored to Hershey on Saturday and dined at the Hershey Cafe. The last previous visit of the governor was one evening when he was ori his way back from the camp at Mt, Gretna , when he and his large party stopped at the ' Quick Lunch and tested its food , trying everything from beans to pie and pronouncing it good, At the Cafe the Governor asked for the regular , dinner and when he found that it included frankfurters and sauer-kraut he and his wife were 'much pleased, ' "Ah, this is good," said the governor, and he ate heartily. When the grove around Derry Church was replanted Governor Brumbaugh and Mr. M. S, Hershey planted the first tree. As they stood opposite each other, spades in hand , the governor remarked, "Hershey, -with chocolate on one side and sauerkraut on the other , this tree ought to grow." ' The tree is growing and the governor 's partiality to sauerkraut has all the completeness of boyhood faith. While here the governor found some old friends. He and Mrs, Brumbaugh left Hershey for Lebanon, where ' they went to call on Uncle Henry Houcl< , who has been ill, Judging from the newspaper reports of Pennsylvania politics at present one would suppose that all men in public life would be greatly disturbed, Others may be, the but governor looked as happy and contented as though every day were a holiday, JOHN ALLEN TO LEAVE John Allen , who has been assistant.

THIS SAVING REACHES YOU Point Made in These Columns Sub-stantiated by Recent Inquiry by Census Bureau Customers Must Pay for Hauling: Unnecessary Delivery • The new policy of the Hershey Store is to inaugurate every economy that can reduce the cost of merchandising and then pass the benefit on 'to the customer. It aims to become the model Cash Store with expenses so organized that there will not be an unnecessary penny in the overhead charges. Bear in mind that the customer must pay the cost of doing business, That is in the price of everything bought. The Hershey Store is reducing the cost by cutting off the needless things. One of these is the excess in its delivery service. The Press impressed its readers with the fact that when customers de-manded extravagant , delivery services the cost of it would fair upon them. The Hershey Store is meeting the situa-tion by standardizing its delivery service so that it will be run to meet the wishes of the largest number of people. As far as possible all special trips will be cut out. Ndw this means a lot in dollars and cents. Since the " Press discussed the point the Census Bureau has.accumulated a lot of figures and it sends the following to this newspaper, and it is hoped that all interested in the details of modern business will read it: A report on the preliminary survey concerning the subject of local distribu-tion of commodities has been made to Secretary of Commerce Redfield by Di-rector Sam. L. Rogers of the Census Bureau. The results "of this investi-gation, which was made in the city of Washington, confirm the general im-pression that the. cost of tity cartage is a fact of considerable magnitude in the price paid by the consumer, and, in the opinion of Secretary Redfield, justify the Census Bureau in selecting some representative city or cities and detailing experts for the purpose of making a more comprehensive study of the subject of delivery cost in relation to the prices of commodities. "For the four selected classes of mer-chandise covered .by the preliminary survey—ice, coal, wood, milk, and de-partment- store merchandise—represent-ing total gross sales of about $6,000,000, the cost of delivery alone amounted to nearly $500,000, or about 8 per cent, according to the figures compiled . It is the Secretary 's belief that in this single phase of cost great economies are possible and he also believes that the survey of the selected city or cities—revealing as it doubtless will , the very considerable proportion which the cost of cartage con-tributes to retail prices—will focus "the attention of consumers upon the great saving to be affected by eliminating du-plication and thus be of distinct aid in reducing the high cost of living.

G, Mumma, for the past few years employed by the Hershey Chocolate Company in the executive office, lias resigned his position and will leave on Saturday for his home in Lancaster, Mr, Mumma ia one of Hershey 's most popular young men and his many friends will be sorry to see him leave.

ASSOCIATION HAS FINE YEAR Y. W. C. A. Has Two Hundred Mem-bers And it Finished Its Fifth Year With a Handsome Sur-plus. Enjoyable Annual Meeting. Luncheon The fifth annual meeting of the Y. W. C. A. was one of the most successful and interesting the organization has eyer had. The largre assembly room was filled. Mrs. M. L. Hershey, the president, made, a. gracious presiding officer and kept the proceedings moving splendidly. Miss Bertha Moyer was secretary. Ex-cellent music was iurnished "by a com-mittee under the leadership of Miss Mumma ' and a quartette of members distinguished itself by two numbers which evoked applause. At present the association has no general secretary, the successor to Miss Trace not having been chosen, and Mrs Hershey made the reporLancL-presented the review of the year's work which the secretary usually reads. It was a most favorable account «f the successful ac-tivities of the year with growing usefulness of the association not only in taking care of its members but in stimulating thern in directions that added greatly to their happiness. The _ exchange and general work, the various classes and the liter-ature had all been kept up to their high mark. . The membership is about 200. Mrs. Ida M. Chase, who has been house secretary and cafeteria directress since the middle of last August , reported that an average of 133 meals had been served daily and that the average price was 14-cents. Improvements include new beds, bathroom furn ishings and needed furniture. The house is more attractive and comfortable now than it ever has been. The rates to girls are now 50, 75 and $1.25 per week, probably the lowest enjoyed for such accommodations. The members living in the building also have special rates in the cafeteria, Others are charged more, but even then the prices are very reasonable, An in-increasing number of women and girls are writing for rooms so that they may spend their vacations in Hershey. In this respect preference is always given to the girls who work in Hershey, and at present they occupy practically all of the accommodations. Mrs, Flowers and Mrs, Linn Haw-becker, delegates to the summer con-ferences, presented unusually valuable reports on their visits. They made these reports of real benefi t, as they included in them their own observations of the meetings and the new ideas they had picked up in their travels, These, like other reports, showed the earnest spirit of the Hershey Association in nil its work.

A Few Have Been Found in Her-shey and Some Have Also Been Captured Six flies have been killed in the Hershey Press Building since the New Year began. This is the newest structure in Hershey with all the improvements in ventilation and sanitation and so the presence of the flies shows that there are some in Hershey waiting for the warmer weather in which to breed their, millions. It means that Hershey's fly campaign, one of the famous fights of its kind, must be waged with renewed energy this year. And now is the.time to begin. The same organization will be main-tained, with William F. R. Murrie as chajrman and W. L. Dubois as secretary. There are permanent committees that have in their charge every street, alley and building of the town. Hershey 's fight against the fly began two years ago. The first year's results were good but not large. Last year there were no flies in Hershey until after the first week in August, Other towns of the Valley had flies several weeks before Hershey, showing that the campaign here had been practical and beneficial. This year by beginning early and waging the war unceasingly Hershey can be rid of the pests. But it means killing every winter fly in sight—in never letting up on the fight. Among the news items of the week was this from New "York : "Through the • capture of the first winter fly of the year Miss Catherine Brennan , of this city, not only has pre-vented the potential existence of about a billion flies next summer, but has won a prize offered by Edward Hatch , Jr „ a chairman of the Merchants' Association Committee on Pollution, In submitting the fly Miss Brennan made affidavits that she had found it under the kitchen table in her home after a search of several hours which extended even to Broad-way restaurants. Mr. Hatch had pre-viously announced he would give a prize to the first person sending to the Mer-chants ' association the first fly captured after the beginning of the year, One of the rules of the contest was that the insect must be "wild" fly, that is, a fly that had not been nurtured and reserved for capture, " livery progressive community, lie it town or city, is fighting the flies this year, Hershey ought to innke the record , It has a line start and nil that is needed is persistence and cooperation, NO DANCE THIS EVENING Owing to the concert of the Hershey Men 's Chorus at the Central Theatre this evening there -will be no dance In the Press Building. But beginning the 18th there will be a dunce every Thursday evening, with a special orchestra, The dances have proven very successful. NIP AND TUCK WENT THE GAME Here Was a Came That Was With While And That Thrilled the Large. Crowd And Delighted Every-one, Even If It Did Result in Hershey's Defeat The most thrilling game of the season was played at the Men's Club court last Friday evening when Hershey's Big Five met defeat at the hands of the fast Rosewood A. C. of Harrisburg in a game that required a five minute ex-tra period. The game at the close of regulation time was deadlocked at 34. In • the extra minutes Hershey had sev-eral chances to win but Shenk was not able to land his shots from the penalty mark. Rosewood scored a field goal and a foul. The final score was 37 to 36. ' The game was a nip and tuck affair throughout, the lead alternating many times. Hershey played a great floor game, but were off in their shooting while on the other hand Rosewood . con-tributed a number of sensational shots. Kline at forward and Trump at guard registered 13 goals between them, 8 of which went to the former. For Hershey Zentrneyer. tallied the 'highest number of field goals. He was credited with four while his opponent was able to land only one. Shenk, Wirth' and Hench each tallied three goals from the field and Leibfried one. Slesser had an off night at the guard position allowing his man eight baskets, and was unable to score a point. The score: Hershey Rosewood Shenk. .' . . , . ¥ . . . . : .Kline Wirth...... :F..

THE GOVERNOR IN HERSHEY Dr. and Mrs. Brumbaugh Dine at the Hershey Cafe Governor and Mrs. Brumbaugh mo-tored to Hershey on Saturday and dined at the Hershey Cafe. The last previous visit of the governor was one evening when he was ori his way back from the camp at Mt, Gretna , when he and his large party stopped at the ' Quick Lunch and tested its food , trying everything from beans to pie and pronouncing it good, At the Cafe the Governor asked for the regular , dinner and when he found that it included frankfurters and sauer-kraut he and his wife were 'much pleased, ' "Ah, this is good," said the governor, and he ate heartily. When the grove around Derry Church was replanted Governor Brumbaugh and Mr. M. S, Hershey planted the first tree. As they stood opposite each other, spades in hand , the governor remarked, "Hershey, -with chocolate on one side and sauerkraut on the other , this tree ought to grow." ' The tree is growing and the governor 's partiality to sauerkraut has all the completeness of boyhood faith. While here the governor found some old friends. He and Mrs, Brumbaugh left Hershey for Lebanon, where ' they went to call on Uncle Henry Houcl< , who has been ill, Judging from the newspaper reports of Pennsylvania politics at present one would suppose that all men in public life would be greatly disturbed, Others may be, the but governor looked as happy and contented as though every day were a holiday, JOHN ALLEN TO LEAVE John Allen , who has been assistant.

THIS SAVING REACHES YOU Point Made in These Columns Sub-stantiated by Recent Inquiry by Census Bureau Customers Must Pay for Hauling: Unnecessary Delivery • The new policy of the Hershey Store is to inaugurate every economy that can reduce the cost of merchandising and then pass the benefit on 'to the customer. It aims to become the model Cash Store with expenses so organized that there will not be an unnecessary penny in the overhead charges. Bear in mind that the customer must pay the cost of doing business, That is in the price of everything bought. The Hershey Store is reducing the cost by cutting off the needless things. One of these is the excess in its delivery service. The Press impressed its readers with the fact that when customers de-manded extravagant , delivery services the cost of it would fair upon them. The Hershey Store is meeting the situa-tion by standardizing its delivery service so that it will be run to meet the wishes of the largest number of people. As far as possible all special trips will be cut out. Ndw this means a lot in dollars and cents. Since the " Press discussed the point the Census Bureau has.accumulated a lot of figures and it sends the following to this newspaper, and it is hoped that all interested in the details of modern business will read it: A report on the preliminary survey concerning the subject of local distribu-tion of commodities has been made to Secretary of Commerce Redfield by Di-rector Sam. L. Rogers of the Census Bureau. The results "of this investi-gation, which was made in the city of Washington, confirm the general im-pression that the. cost of tity cartage is a fact of considerable magnitude in the price paid by the consumer, and, in the opinion of Secretary Redfield, justify the Census Bureau in selecting some representative city or cities and detailing experts for the purpose of making a more comprehensive study of the subject of delivery cost in relation to the prices of commodities. "For the four selected classes of mer-chandise covered .by the preliminary survey—ice, coal, wood, milk, and de-partment- store merchandise—represent-ing total gross sales of about $6,000,000, the cost of delivery alone amounted to nearly $500,000, or about 8 per cent, according to the figures compiled . It is the Secretary 's belief that in this single phase of cost great economies are possible and he also believes that the survey of the selected city or cities—revealing as it doubtless will , the very considerable proportion which the cost of cartage con-tributes to retail prices—will focus "the attention of consumers upon the great saving to be affected by eliminating du-plication and thus be of distinct aid in reducing the high cost of living.
