              COCOA'S LIVELY
PART IN THE WAR
Where Did the Enormous Exports Go?
And Do You Know That 200 Tons
of Cocoa Will Yield 25 Tons of
Nitroglycerine? ; The Let7
ter Cadburrj Wrote
Cocoa has played a big part in the pres-ent
war and a good deal of scandal has
followed its trail, the result is that tax-ation
has. come down heavily on it. In
1914 cocoa paid duties amounting to
about ..,$1,800,000; in 1915 the amount
went beyond $3,000,000 and this year there
has been an increase of taxation that will
raise this sum enormously.
One of the scandals of the, early part
of the war and continuing through 1915
was the extraordinary increase in the ex-ports
of cocoa from London to Holland,
Denmark and Scandinavia, the charge
being that most of it found its way into
Germany. The matter is still so serious
that the Cadbury Brothers in the present
year sent the following statement to the
Press:
"We see, that according to state-ments
in the Press, Cocoa Exports to
Holland, Denmark and Scandinavia, have
been in 1915—34,520,987 lbs. . . ,
"„. "The vast bulk of these exports is,
we believe, Raw Cocoa, the export of which
we never touch. Our exports of prepared
Cocoa have been as follows.—1915—
56,030 lbs., which were in fulfillment <5f
contracts made in: 1914.
We have consistently advocated, both
in the Press and in interviews with
Government' Departments, the prohibi-tion
of exports of Cocoa to the above
countries during the War.
"Our Chocolate exports to the above
countries during the period named have
been 1915—1768.
"Yours truly,
"CADBURY BROS. LTD."
Cocoa Made Into Explosives
"Last month there >vas quite a com-motion
in the trade regarding the exports
of raw cocoa from this country to neutral
powers, but most of us thought that the
agitation was levelled against the export
of cocoa as a beneficent food, "says Con-fectionery,
the leading trade journal of
England. "Many good people were under
the impression that our cocoa merchants
were feeding the Germans through friend-ly
neutrals. It appears to be more serious
than that, as it has been stated by a well-known
scientist, Mr. W. S. Hopkins, that
every ounce of cacao is potentially gun-powder
of a most dangerous kind. He
states that the German chemists can ex-tract
from cacao approximately 50 per
cent, of fat, and from this fat 10 per cent,
of glycerine. From this glycerine can be
manufactured nitroglycerine. Every 100
tons of fat will yield 10 tons of glycerine,
which in its turn will'yield 25 tons of nitro-glycerine.
In short, 200 tons of cacao will
vield 25 tons of nitroglycerine."
British Pay More For Chocolate
The journal Confectionery has this to
say about the effect of "the new taxes on
sugar and cocoa upon chocolates which the
English people consume in large quantities:
"During recent agitations in connection
with the sale of chocolate, the increase
of price or the decrease of weight and size
has been due to the increased price of
sugar, but whilst the half penny on the
pound increase in the tax upon sugar
will be of some importance , it is not so
much as on chocolate, consequent upon
the increase on cocoa from 3 cents per
11). to 12 cents per lb. The penny bar had
to be reduced in size or increased in price.
"The increase in weight chocolates will
probably be represented by a 2 cents on
the quarter lb. Many confectioners would
have been better pleased to have seen the
additional price put upon the Sugar Tax ,
hut had that been done cocoa powder
would have escaped to a considerable ex-tent.
The worst of a (ax upon chocolate
goods is the same amount of tax is put
upon the cheaper grades as upon the
higher. "
Cocoa nrxl Beer
An idea of the taxation discussion 's
warmth can be gathered from this ex-tract
in the class-paper of .London ; "The
Budget will have nn important influence

TEN THOUSAND
HERE TUESDAY
Decoration Was a Success in Every
Particular in Spite of the Clouds -
and Showers. Two Fine Base-
. ball Games. Pool Opened
Theater ' Crowded
Ten thousand persons visited Hershey
on Decoration Day. About five thousand
of them.came on the Hershey Transit Com-pany
lines; about four thousand came in
the thousand automobiles that arrived
during the day, and a thousand or more
came by railroad, by carriage and other-wise.
The greatest crowd was at the baseball
game between Hummelstown and Pal-myra
in the afternoon. It was estimated at
from six to eight thousand and was called
the largest in the history of the grounds,
with possibly the exception of the throng
that attended the game with Ephrata
several years ago. This crowd was a re-markably
beautiful sight. It filled the
stands, made , a deep circle all the .wav_.
around the field and was attended by a
flock of automobiles lined along the upper
road. There never was such cheering in
Hershey and the noise could be heard
for more than a mile.
The base ball game in the morning
between Hershey Men's Club and Lebanon
was one of the best of the season and it
drew warm applause from an audience
which was excellent for a morning crowd.
The Hershey men played an errorless
game and their spurt leading . to victory
brought out great cheers.
All games, were enjoyed, the children's
playground having crowds all day and the
pool being well patronized. Every point
of interest had visitors, the zoo leading but
the other places holding their own, in-cluding
the round barn and Convention
Hall. The miniature railway did a good
business. There was dancing at the new
pavilion, with many dancers and the
carousel was going all day. The boats were
popular.
Beauty of the Park
Never did the park, look so attractive
and the crowds seemed to appreciate it
in a fine spirit. The beauty of the park and
the extent and merit of the improvements
called forth much admiration. There was
particular praise for the urns, sundial and
fountain placed on the old site of the
Hershey Press building.
The three cafes of the park and town
fed thousands during the day and every-where
the service was prompt. The Her-shey
Cafe served only regular meals and
its record for the day was the largest it
has'known except for one day during the
convention week last year. The Park
restaurant did a very large business and
the quick lunch was in action from 6 in
the morning to eleven at night.
The crowds were admirably handled,
and very special compliments belong to
the Hershey Transit Company. The ser-vice
was all that could be desired and there
was not a five minutes delay in any car
the whole day. All the stock of the com-pany
was in use.
There was no unpleasant occurrence,
no accident, no disorder; everybody had
a good time; it was a typical holiday in
Hershey,
Pork Theatre Crowded
The audience at the Park Theater filled
every seat; the pit was filled with chairs
and many were standing, It was a happy
appreciative company and it impelled the
players to do their best. The play was
"A Girl of the Mountains" with a fine
part for Miss Corinne and plenty of come-dy
for Dan Malloy . Both rose to their
opportunities and scored big. Dan's
vaudeville pleased them immensely. AH
the cast won praise. During the latter
half of last week "The Arm of the Law"
was well presented . Beginning tonight
there will be a change of bill. The Mary
Picltford pictures Tuesday evening were
very fine.
It was a star day for the Hershey Band ,
which gave two open air concerts, Every
number was applauded, The band is
doing better work' this season than it has
ever done,
HERSHEY'S BIGGEST MAY
Month Just Closed Mnde Now Records
in All Interests
The railroad shipments frqni Hershey
during the month closed yesterday were
the largest, for any May since the station

The receipts of milk by the Hershey
Chocolate Company exceeded those of
any other month In the company 's history.
The factory was never so busy in any
other May and its production broke all

HOW HERSHEY
MADE A RECORD
Dr. C. R. Phillips , Medical Inspector
.For Dauphin County, Tells of the
Successful Quarantine and the -
Protection of. the Health
of the Community
Dr. C. R. Phillips, medical inspector
for Dauphin , county, read before the
Academy of Medicine at Harrisburg a
very able and interesting paper entitled,
"Some Facts Concerning Quarantine."
There are people, even including physi-cians,
who think that a quarantine against
measles is lost effort, but Dr. Phillips
believes that when the work is rightly
done it. is effective and of great value.
The difficulty has been to get a community
to cooperate in a wholehearted "'way.
Dr. Phillips says in his paper that he found
the officials here eager to' aid and that
they told him to go as far as he liked. ,
The results were so excellent that the
account of the Hershey quarantine was
jtfie~star part of the address. Furthermore
the remarkable health of the town ac-centuates
the whole presentation. Her-shey
has probably the lowest death record
in America; it has practically no illness
and the measles which came to it from
other points were so handled that every-thing
was cleared up before an epidemic
could start. Hershey had no measles
epidemic; it had the beginnings of
one, but Dr. Phillops and the local authori-ties
acted in time and acted wisely and the
story of it is a record.
Dr. Phillips ' Address
Dr. Phillips' account of the .Hershey
quarantine was as follows:
"That you may have some reason for
the faith that is in you concerning the
efficiency of a carefully 'planned and en-forced
quarantine even against so diffi-cult
a disease to control as measles, I am
going to give you the facts as they de-veloped
in the splendid town of Hershey
in April of this year.
"I received in two or three days prior
to April 7, information of 26 cases of
measles in Derry Township in which Her-shey
is located. With the experience of
Hamsburg and of the little towns in the
northern part of the county fresh in my
mind (we had about 400 cases in Lykens,
Wiconisco, and Williamstown) I went to
Hershey with the intention of establishing
a quarantine which I hoped would do
something-toward checking the beginning
epidemic there.
"I met the officials of the Hershey plant
and the school board officers including the
principal of the schools. I found them alive
to the situation and eager to give the
State Department all the aid possible in
its effort to check the spread of the disease.
'Go as far as you like' was the message
from those officials.
"At this point it will be well to state
that Hershey is unique in school matters
as in some others. Practically all of the
pupils of Derry Township go to school in
the big Hershey School. Some of the schol-ars
go by trolley or team 6 miles to school.
Included in this 'outside of Hershey'
population which uses the big Hershey
school are two Italian settlements of
which something later.
"So we closed the schools for two weeks
except the High School; likewise the Sun-day
schools and churches and moving
pictures' place to children under 15
years. The Public Library was closed
for two weeks to all under 16 years.
All books returned to the Library were
disinfected an many were in the homes
quarantined. All school books in the
quarantined homes were disinfected before
being returned to the school desks. At
the expiration of the two weeks period ,
the Company physician inspected each
child coming from a quarantined home that
had been released during the two weeks of
school closure, before he was permitted
to enter school.
"He 'checked up' these, cases in this
manner, cases which were secondaries
in the pre-emptive stage and therefore not
reported, This 'checking up ' probably
saved a re-lighting of the disease in the
schools, When the schools were closed this
statement was made to the local authori-ties.
'You will have cases developing dur-ing
the next two weeks, in those children
who have been exposed the last week at
school, You will have, in addition , cases
developing in the homes now and in the
future to be quarantined. We cannot pre-vent
sister Susie getting mcaHles If Brother
Bonnie has them, But after April 21 , if
our quarantine Is effective, you should
have no new cases in homes not then af-fected,
' I wrote such a statement to Mr,
Snyder, the Attorney for the Ilershey
Interests, because I wanted them to un-derstand
where the cases (which of course
we knew were coming) would come from.
disease. I impressed upon theih the fact
vthat if their-children came in contact with
healthy children all our efforts would be of
no avail and that therefore we would in-sist
that no children enter their homes
during quarantine; apd that their own
children should not leave the premises
during that time*
"It gives me pleasure to submit the
following figures concerning the experience
at Hershey in April 1916:
"Before April 7,. there were in Derry
Township 26 cases; between April 7 to
22 there were 59 cases; after April 22
there .were 57 cases; making a total of
142 cases.
"In the town limits of Hershey proper
(and here only did we have full control)
there were 29 cases divided as follows:
Before April 7 there were 9 cases; between
April 7 and 21 there were 13 cases; after
April 22 there were 7 cases. <P
"These 7 cases \vere divided as follows:
3 were secondaries; 2 were next door
neighbors: 2 were unaccounted for.
"These figures, it seems to me, speak for
themselves as to the possibility of getting
results. from quarantine which is care-fully
carried out. They emphasize the fact
that the failureoto control communicable
diseases is not in quarantine itself but
in broken quarantine. Until the public
gets a proper view-point of- quarantine,
what it is and what it can do, we will
have lamentable failures where we try to
enforce it."My belief is that if the public
knows that the diseases of childhood are
not necessary evils,. to be had and over
with, as we so frequently hear said, that
then and not until then we will have the
support of the public in the proper en-forcement
of these necessary regulations.
My plea is to the profession, to educate the
public in this matter as we have been forc-ed
to do in the matter of vaccination and
in some; places even now in, the matter
of the value of antitoxin, so that the day
may more quickly come, for come it will
soon or late, when we will have the hearty
support of all the public in the enforce-ment
of quarantine regulations.
"Just one word more. The recital of
the facts surrounding Hershey would be
incomplete without reference to a 'com-plication'
which arose due to the geo-graphy
of the district. There are two
Italian colonies near Hershey which send
pupils to the Hershey Schools. The one
to east of town and one to the west at
Swatara. Just about time for the opening
of the schools after the two weeks closing
unattended cases of measles at each of
these were reported. Investigation prov-ed
these reports to be correct. It also
proved that quarantine in its proper
sense could not be enforced without
guards. The decision was made, and acted
upon, to exclude from the schools for the
remainder of the term all the children
from these settlements, whether measles
existed in the particular house from which
the child came or not. Events proved the
wisdom of this course. Practically every
house in Little Italy, the settlement near
Swatara, developed one or more cases of
measles in the course of a few weeks. To
a less extent the same was true in the set-tlement
to the east of the town.
"There are preventable diseases. Let
us help prevent them. Quarantine is the
lawful and efficient means to do it. Let
us do all in our power to educate the public
to this fact. "
P. AND R.'S NEW SCHEDULE
Changes Do Not Improve the Local
Service
It is fortunate for Hershey that it has
an excellent trolley service. Otherwise
its passenger service would be pretty bad,
The new schedule of the P, and R.
went into effect Sunday,
There is no train east from Hershey
between 6,38 and 10,52, There is no ex-press
east from Hershey until 4153,
Going west there is no train from Her-shey
between ll. i' l and 4.22. [ • ;
The very useful train leaving Hersliey
for Harrisburg at 1.52 has been taken off.

HERSHEY TEAM'S
TWO VICTORI ES
Wins An Exciting Game on Saturday
and Celebrates' Decoration Day by
Coming Out First in a Ten
Inning Contest. Much
Applause. The Details
•In a hard fought, cleanly ^played game
on the park diamond Tuesday morning
the Hershey Men's Club nine defeated
the Lebanon Independents in 10 innings,
5 to 4. The contest was featured by good
pitching . on both sides, Homer Dressier
having the better of the argument with
Miller, who twirled for the visitors.
Walker,- the visitor's right fielder, was
injured in the first inning when he sus-tained
a bad. dislocation of his left ankle in
desperate attempt to score..
The contest was featured by the perfect
fielding of the Men's Club team and the
rally that . turned the tide in their, favor
when Lebanon had a two-run lead up to
the eighth inning.
Hershey scored in the third. With two
down Brinser singled through short, stole
second and counted on Stover's hit.
The fourth was the big inning for the
Independents. After Grise had fanned, H.
Bowman and Hollinger were passed. J.
Bowman then gave the horsehide a gener-ous
wallop that carried it within a few
iiiches of the Convention Hall, and easily
circled the sacks;
In the eighth .session Hershey had two
out when Heagy tripled to right, centre
and scored on Erichsen's two-ply smash.
Zimmerman's duplicate daisy brought
Erichsen home and tied the score.
Hershey should have refrigerated the
conflict in the ninth. Henry was soaked in
the ribs. Meekins sacrificed him to second,
and after H. Dressier fanned he scored
easily on Brinser's husky crack to deep
centre. The only trouble was that the
cushion marking the location of third base
had been pushed slightly out of the line
and Henry missed touching it by a small
margin. So the run did hot count.
A black cloud came up in the tenth.
Lebanon added a run to its collection by
means of a pair of hits surrounding a.stolen
base. The weather didn't clear until the
Hershey wrecking crew, composed of
Heagy, Erichsen and Co., got to work in
the last and better half of the same chap-ter.
Stover got a life on Hollinger's first
false step, and he hurried to second on a
passed ball. Heagy's single and steal,
followed by Erichsen's line drive to right,
dug the visitors' grave and erected a neat
monument over it. There was an enthu-siastic
dedication, too. Score : •

FOUR HEIFERS
FROM HERSH EY
Have Been Under Official Inspection
and They Will Receive Certificates
of Merit. H. C. Reinhold , Sup-erintendent
of Dairies Is
Giving Their Records
Henry C. Reinhold, superintendent of
the Hershey Dairies, has devoted much
interest and . attention to four registered
Holstein-Friesian heifers at Cloverdale
officially tested for milk and butter pro-duction
by a representative of the Penn-sylvania
State College. These tests have
been so successful that all four heifers will
receive from the Holstein Association of
North America certificates of merit and
their records will be recorded on the As-sociation's
books. Mr. Reinhold gives the
details as follows:
.Woodcrest Colantha Isabelle, 254015,
at the age of two years and four months
produced 17-039 lbs. of butter and 412
lbs. of milk in seven consecutive days' We
think this a splendid record for a two year
heifer but in glancing over her breeding
one does not wonder, for she is a grand-daughter
of Colantha Johanna Champion
and that grand old cow Isabella Clothilde
Walker who has produced two daughters
that have each made 30 lb. butter in seven
days and she made a record of over 900
lb. butter and 21,000 of milk in a year, at
ten years of age. The heifer's sire is a
double Grandson of Sir Fayne Concordia
who has produced one 30. 1b. daughter and
is a full brother to Grace Faynelds Home-stead
who has a record of 35,55 of butter
in seven days, a world's record when made.
We think when this heifer reaches full age
and no misfortune befalls her she will be
a very good candidate for thirty pounds or
better.
The Heifer Mercedes- Juhp. Pietje,
233003, who made 15-28 lb. of butter and
384 of milk in seven days is also a two year
junior and possesses splendid breeding,
as her sire, Woodcrest Jamacia Pietje, is a
grandson of Woodcrest Hartog DeKol,
and her Granddam on the Sire's side is
Pietje 22d, who at the age of 7 years,
7 months and. seven days produced 31-62
of butter and 673 of milk in seven days.
This heifer's dam has already a record of
18-67 of butter.
Laural Clothilde Beets, 252354, made a
record very close to her stablernates for
she produced 15-15 of butter and 369 of
milk in the test and as she was born June
27th, 1914, therefore was not two year old
when this test took place. I believe we
have every reason to expect a great record
from such a heifer in time.
Heifer number four, Annie Armyn
Dekol Pietje, 241009, born February 3rd,
1914, is also only a youngster but she made
such a record that we*will give her the
very best of care and try her again when
more fully developed. She produced 14 1-2
of butter and 338 of milk in her test. This
heifer conies from great blood lines as the
following will show: A granddaughter of
Johanna Aaggie Sarcastic Lad, he by the
noted St. Louis WorWs Champion Sar-castic
Lad ; the sire is by Woodcrest Pietje,
who is from Pietje 22d, the only cow im-ported
into this country that produced
30 lb. of butter in seven days.
Arthur Willey, Cloverdale Farm, cared
for and milked the four heifers every six
hours while they were on test,.and I want
to congratulate him on the four splendid
records,
H.' C. REINHOLD
Superintendent of Dairies.
HERE ARE GOOD THINGS
The Mothers' Club Strawberry festival
will be held on Mrs, Edwin M. I-Icrshcy 's
lawn, beginning at 6,30 p. m., today—
Thursday, June 1st. Ice cream, straw-berries,
candies and cakes will be for sale.
The proceeds will be for the benefit of

the festiva l will be held on the second
floor of the new Hershey Press building,
This festival is of particular interest
to the Hershey Fire Company. Members
will try to return the favors of the Moth-ers'
Club at their late fair.
WORK OF THE LITTLE PATRIOTS
Thirty-eight children of the Kinder-garten
Class under Miss Langworthy and
attended by such youngsters as Rev, N.
L, Linebaugh and 11, A, Newton were the
real patriots of Decoration Day. In the
truck furnished by Mr. Gordon and driven
by Mr, Aungst. they visited and decorated
the Spanish American monument in the
Park and the soldiers' graves in Derry,
United Brethren and Henry cemeteries.
Mr, Newton told the story of Betsy Ross
and Mr, Linebaugh the history of the
Liberty Boll, Both were very Interesting
nnd both were applauded .
FIVE LITTLE SWANS
Five little swans were hatched out last
week on the island at High Point, The
goslings are attracting much attention
