CROWDED HOUSE GREAT ADDRESS First of Union Services in Herstiey Central Theater Draws One ' of the Finest Audiences in Town 's Hist ory. Next Speaker Rev. Dr. Jacobs A remarkably eloquent and vital address, a program of fine music and an audience that filled the Hershey Central Theatre made the opening of the Sunday ' afternoon Union Services a splendid success. There were visitors from every part of Lebanon Valley. They came on the Hershey Transit lines, in automobiles and in carriages and the result of this was the livest Sunday afternoon Hershey has had since the closing of the Park. Bishop Cyrus . J. Kephart spoke on "Lessons From the Great World Crisis." It was the kind of address the people wanted, an able, eloquent, non-sectarian discussion of a tremendous theme by a man who could rivet the attention of his hearers. This he did for almost one and a half hours. Bishop Kephart has Bryan's qualities of popular expression and appeal, and his success in holding his audience by the force of his thought and personality was complete. He did not depend upon stories or anecdote to carry him through, but made his theme and its lesson grip the people and hold them. Everybody pronounced it one of the finest addresses ever heard in Hershey. Preliminary to the address Bishop Kephart told how he passed through this particular part of the country many times in the nineties. The site of Hershey was then a field and a railroad crossing. He was amaied to see the changes. It scarcely seemed possible. He paid a high tribute to the vision and enter-prise of Mr. M. S. Hershey and congratu-lated him and the men who had helped him in the work that has become known throughout the world. He made several references to Hershey in his address , and told how in every corner of his far west-ern territory he had found its products. Our Wonderful Age The bishop said we are living in a most surprising and interesting age. Past ages said the same thing but we really have reason for the expression. Think of the world at large as known today and then think back one or more centuries ago. Today all the continents of the world are discovered and explored. Man has explored the oceans, rivers, lakes, mountains, We have a map of the world presenting with accurate full-ness all lands and waters. We did not have such 50 years ago. All the races have been discovered and their characteristics are known. In the past hundred years the greatest number of wonderful discoveries and inventions have been presented, One of the things before our eyes at the present time is the development of popular education as never known in the past. We have wonderful institutions of learning. The President of a college deplored the fact that the growth of his college was hindered because it was endowed for only seven million dollars. Harvard is endowed for forty millions and is looking for thirty millions more. Princeton is endowed for forty millions. These matters change the whole com-plexion of society. Situations arising must be controlled and adjusted. We are in a critical period , a period of inten-sive development, Woman has entered into public life and who can predict what effect this is going to have? Woman suffrage is coming, whether you want it or not. Women will compel us to make some great changes politically, and there are going to be some great clean-ups. Woman has fought her way to her present position and will never recede from it. She will never hold the position she once held either here or abroad. In Europe she lias taken the place of the man in every vocation of life to permit him to enroll in the various armies, Our country is increasing in wealth with tremendous rapidity. Wo stand the marvel of the world in the developcment. of wealth , Aaa boy I thought n man in our country town who owned a bride house was a wealthy mini. Wo never hoard or thought of n millionaire and yet. today in New York Slate alone statistics show that there arc 44 men who have nnnunl in-comes of n million or over; 91 men have annual Incomes of .11500,000 and over, A report Issued just a short, time ago showed Dial. !)!) per cent, of this country '*) wealth was owned and controlled by 3 per cent, of the population. One of owners wild at a meeting a short time ago that all the industries wore practically controlled by 11 men of whom ho was one, , There niimt bo an adjustment, of some kind or ' these thing*! will bring disaster, Now to gel '<> the main issue. Wc are at a crisis—tho present, war. I pray God no ono will again ever bo called Continued on pfigo 4 EXPERT PRAISES HER SHEY OUTFI T Professor Kraege Finds Much to Admire in the Town and Dairies s Paid Particular Attention to the Round Barn. Visit ' to Cloverdale Farm A prominent visitor .to Hershey Sun-day was Professor F. G. Kraege, of'Wis* consin, who is making a tour of the United States studying dairy conditions and lecturing on agricultural topics. He has come across the continent from California, visiting most of the states, and he came to Hershey from a visit to Cornell University. He was taken-over part of the Hershey farms and dairies in an automobile and he expressed his astonishment. "Of course, I had heard of Hershey and I had it on my list, but I had no idea of the extent and importance of the work you are doing here—I never real-ized the size of Mr. Hershey's plans. It is. a revelation. Every other place in America I have seen claims all it has and often a great deal more, but you have much "mofe ~thah you advertise. I have enjoyed my day hugely and am coming again.'" Professor Kraege was particularly .in-terested in the Round Barn. There was much discussion in the. West as to a round barn 's merits and it had not become popular. .He wanted to know why. So, he had Mr. Christie take tiim over, every part of the structure and he snapped pictures of the outfit and the cows and other details. He pronounced the round barn the most interesting ex-ample of its'kind he had ever seen. He was much pleased with Cloverdale and thought Chocolate Segis Pontiac Alcarta a prince of a bull. A detail that caught the attention of the professor was the overhang of the banri roof and he took pictures of this to show farmers and dairymen in the West, for he lectures to many thousands and he gathers the latest ideas by personal investigations. "My ' visit to Hershey today has been very profitable," lie said. He remained to enjoy the address of Bishop Kephart. Professor Kraege came with the high-est recommendations of leaders in ag-riculture and education. He has been very successful in conducting institutes and in lectures to granges and other farmers' organizations. He was born and brought up on a farm in Winnebago County, Wisconsin. After attending the district school, he entered the Berlin high school from which he was graduated with the class of 1884. After serving two years as principal of the village school at Waukau , Wis., he entered the University of Wisconsin, in which he completed a four years' course in three years, and at the time of graduation was awarded special honors and a Commencement appointment by the faculty. Five years after graduation , he returned to the University aiid took a post graduate course, at the close of which the degree of Master of Letters was conferred on him. In addition to this he attended the summer session of the University in 1913. While attend-ing the University, Mr, Kraege received special training in agricultural subjects. For many years past, Mr. Kraege has taught agricultural subjects, including a course in animal husbandry and dairy-ing, in high schools, in teachers' institutes, in farmers' institutes, and in other gather-ings of farmers, He has owned and op-erated a successful creamery. A HANDSOME HOME Mr. and Mrs, D, Frank Magee moved on Monday into their handsome new home in ' East Hershey. The Magee residence is a commodious and distinctive work of architecture which iillractH very unusual attention. It is the largest of recent additions to the residential architecture of Hershey and It adds grimily to the beauty of East^Icrshcy, Mr, and Mm, Magee have received many congratulations upon their new home, WILL BE A GREAT GAME Interest is "being centered on the foot-ball game at Palmyra on Thanksgiving morning when the team of that place will have for their opponents the Hummels-tow aggregation, Both teams have splendid records this season unci a great contest is looked for, lhimroelstown will bo strengthened by the Ilelff brothers, Herbert Scluiflner and Phillips. All those players are volcnins and will add ntveh to tho playing , These tennis are old rivals mid the game always drawn bl« crowds. A THRIVING CAMP I lorohoy Camp No. 705 P, 0. S, ol A. lias been busy the past your adding new members, On Monday evening last the degree team initiated six now members and t\vo weekn previous the snmc number took the Initiation , NEW CAR BARN ALMOST READY Cars Have . Been Run Into It . But The Formal Opening. Will Not Take Place Until the Begin-ning of the New Year Complete Buildin g Hershey has added another valuable building to its large and unique equip-ment. The addition is the car barn of reinforceed concrete and brick at the ex-treme end of the town, The structure is a beautiful piece <5T work that has been in the course of erection since January 1916. Plans were to have the building completed last summer, but the scarcity of labor hindered the progress: It has been modeled after some of the best car barns in the country and new ideas were added. The building is 100 by 275 feet and has a capacity for housing 40 cars. All the Hershey cars are manufactured by the Brill Car Company, Philadelphia, and are built for smooth riding and comfort. The structure is absolutely fire proof and has all modern conveniences. In the building are: Commodious rest rooms for employes, modern shower baths, handsome private offices , splen-did lighting system, excellent ventilation. A machine shop with all the latest devices and with a large drill press has been installed. All repairs will be made at the barn and a master mechanic will be in charge. Cars were run into the barn last week although the moving from the old barn proper will not take place until the end of the year. The old barn has been crowded , and it was necessary to leave some of the cars stand on the tracks outside of the building over night. When the old barn is vacated work will be started at once to remodel the. barn for a public garage. Many machine owners in Hershey are anxiously awaiting this improvement as it is centrally located and will ' be much more . convenient than going to the one over the railroad. All the Hershey lines are well patron-ized. The new line to. Elizabethtown has a heavy traffic and is far ahead of what was first expected. The new route to Manheim through Bachmanville is progressing and the surveyors have almost finished their work. The schedules of the Hershey lines are well kept. The new high tension system which was added last year has helped much in this end of the work. NEXT UNION SERVICES Will be December 10. Rev. Dr. Jac-obs the Speaker The next union services in the Hershey Central Theatre will be on Sunday after-noon, December 10 at 3 p. m. All are invited, Another brilliant speaker has been secured, Rev.

D„ one of the ablest and most eloquent men in the Lutheran church , He will speak on "What Makes Men," His address is said to be a masterful exposition that every man and especially every young .man, should hear. FIRE ALARM TUESDAY An alarm of fire just after the noon hour Tuesday caused some excitement which promptly subsided when it was known that the lire was in Union De-posit, The Hershey Fire Department turned out but the flic was not serious, It was in the residence of Mr, KnufTmnn. FRED CLARK IMPROVING Fred Clark is improving daily, It was not necessary to amputate tho arm. Scores of people from Hershey have called to see him, Me and his family have had the deepest sympathy of the whole town ,' mid there Is general grati-fication that he will escape loss seriously than was at first feared . FINE CONCERT DECEMBER 15TH One of the finest eoncorlH of the aimson will hu that of llui Mothers' Club and the, Hershey Umid in the Hershey Central Theatre on December lfi. In addition to n rich program by the bund will bo brilliant solos on the cornet and violin , Dr. Jacobs is a graduate of the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania with post graduate work in the University of Pennsylvania , and the University of Leipsic, Germany, specializing in church history and phil-osophy, Me was pastor of St. Peter 's Luthera n Church , North Wales and Christ Lutheran Church , Allentown, He was professor of history in Muhlen-berg College, In 1913 he was called to be the graduate professor of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Ml. Airy, Phil-adelphia , which position he occupies at the present time, He is one of the staff of writers producing a standard English edition of Luther 's works, known as the Philadelphia edition, TURKEY SOARING OUT OF SIGHT Prices in This Section Have Gone Beyond All Previous Figures And Only the Rich Will be Able to Afford the Nation-al Bird Thursday In Hershey this week turkeys sold at 35 cents a pound live weight. This means that a turkey dressed would cost 50 cents a pound and if you wish to go further and calculate on the loss in cooking and in bones the precious white meat you may be able to put into your mouth Thursday will represent a dollar or more a pound. There never were such prices as these in the whole history of the turkey tribe. A Hershey man who engaged two thirty pound gobblers some weeks ago had to pay 30 cents a pound. Nine dollars for a turkey is going some and yet it would have even more if it had not been ordered in advance. John Yorty sold ten turkeys for $48 and could have sold more. In Harrisburg turkeys sold 30 to 40 cents live weight and 40 to 50 cents dressed. "There is no apparent reason' for the increase save the general advance in prices and the wild scramble of people to get the limit in prices for everything they have to sell," said a dealer : . We understand that this was a dry year, a good 'turkey' year. But so far they're pretty scarce. Lots of farmers killed off all their birds to get fancy prices and they couldn't afford to keep them on account of the high price of corn and other feed. It looks like we'll eat more chicken this Thanksgiving than last year." The chicken market is very brisk, the fowls ranging in price from twenty-two to. twenty-eight cents a pound, according to the grade. Housekeepers find some encouragement in the abundance of cranberries from New Jersey and Cape Cod, which are selling for eight and ten cents a quart. A plump rooster, fattened for killing and disguised with plenty cranberry sauce, they argue, can with ease masquerade as a gobbler. More chickens than turkey will be eaten in Hershey this year, OVER 700 PU PILS IN THE SCHOOL New Activities in the M. S. Hershey Consolidated School of Derry Township Include a Literary Society And Various Ath-letic Activities. Notes At the M. S.

It Holds Its Own With the Remark - able Progress of Trust Companies In the United States. Some Figures That Are Import-ant and Interesting The Hershey Trust Company 's re- . port under date of November 17 pub-lished in full in this, issue of the Hershey Press is an unusually fine one. It sho-ws resources of $2,084,219.42, with individual deposits of $1,422,262.03. Its capital stock is $125,000; it has a surplus fund of $125,000, and it also has undivided profits, less expenses and taxes paid, of . $144,348.04. There has been a splendid increase all along the line in the business of this admu'r-: ably managed institution. This means ah increase in the number of depositors* in the number of persons served, in the totals of moneys handled and in all the various services performed by the.modern trust company. In view of the wonderful , success it seems curious and even amazing to re-call that when Mr. M. S. Hershey started the company there were many in this neighborhood who said it could never live. Not only has it lived but it has become a center of indispensable service to a large area of the Lebanon Valley and it is one of the most popular com-panies in the country with as handsome a home as can be found anywhere. The New Dividend At the regulr meeting of the board held on the 23rd a semi-annual dividend of five per cent was declared, payable December 1. This is the tenth dividend of 5 per cent paid by the Hershey Trust Company. Thus there has been re-turned in dividends to the stockholders $62,500, or one-half of the original capital since the company was organized twelve years ago. TRUST. COMPANY RESOURCES Now Exceed Seven Billion Six Hun-dred Million Dollars The fourteenth annual edition of "Trust Companies of the United States" issued by the United States Mortgage & Trust Company, New York , is being distributed. In the preface, President John W. Plat-ten says: "The Trust Companies of the United States during the year just closed have had exceptional ' opportunities for service to the financial and commercial interests of this country and to foreign nations as well. The problems incident to tho new position of the Trust Com-panies in world affairs have been met and solved with courage, while the business openings resulting therefrom have been availed of with enterprise and good judgement, A noteworthy increase in the business of acceptances, both foreign and domestic, the establishment of well equipped departments for the handling of foreign transactions, especially with with Central and South America , and liberal pnrtlcipatiqns in foreign loans, are till deserving of special mention, The work of unifying and improving existing laws for the safeguarding of the Interests of these companies and their clients is progressing satisfactorily, while tho administration of corporate -and probate trusts ever increasing volume is continually evidenced. "When If Isconsidercd thnUho aggregate of trust company resources reported during the year increased one billion , three hundred million dollars and now totals over .Seven billion six hundred iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini million dollars, the vital and growing importance of the part played by Trust Companies in national and international affairs will be fully realized and these institutions continue to receive a deserv-edly increasing measure of recognition and support." . Thestatementsof 1937 Trust Comanpies are contained in the book in addition ' to officers and directors, stock quotations, dividend rates, etc, while the names of 95 companies, are shown that did not render a report for' publication thus making a total of 2032 Trust Companies listed. Just five years ago the aggregate re-sources of these companies reported in this compilation were $5,168,00O,0O0> showing an increase of- 47 per cent for all trust companies in the United States. The showing of trust company growth in the United States is interesting : New York State increased $531,000,- 000 or 25 per cent. • Pennsylvania increased $139,000,000 or 15 per cent. Illinois increased $117,000,000 or eighteen per cent. Massachusetts increased $110,000,000 or 26 per cent. The total resources of the Trust Com-panies of Pennsylvania, amount to $1,- 075,745,000 a gain of $141,409,000 or 15 per cent during the past year. MOVING PICTURE PROGRAM Thursday—Thanksgiving — night will see one of the finest picture shows of the year at the Hershey Central Theatre. Saturday, December 2, will be Lillian Walker in ' 'The Blue Envelope Mystery,'' a Vitagraph picture. Wednesday, December 6, will be a Bluebird picture, "The Secret of the Swamp" with a cast of film stars. All of these are superexcellent features and there should be crowded houses. CLASS STARTS WELL The engineering class with A. Bowman Snavely as instructor has started well, It promises to have twenty members or more, There was a fine meeting Friday evening and there will be another meet-ing Thursday evening of next week in the Public Library. TOO BUSY TO TALK , "Please go away. We are too busy to talk. " This is the greeting one gets at the Hershey Chocolate Factory these days, It seems that most of the world at this particular time wants cocoa and chocolate and everybody prefers the Hershey products, So the big plant is working 100 per cent and is still miles behind its orders, Among the shipments this week were several hundred tons of cocoa to Europe. WEDDING AT Y. W.C A. • / About fifty happy young girls gathered in the Reading room of the Young Wo-men's Christian Association on Satu r-day, November 25, at the noon hour to witness the marriage of one of their girl friends , Miss Lily Wiggins to Harry Fasnucht of Coatsville.

Been Run Into It . But The Formal Opening. Will Not Take Place Until the Begin-ning of the New Year Complete Buildin g Hershey has added another valuable building to its large and unique equip-ment. The addition is the car barn of reinforceed concrete and brick at the ex-treme end of the town, The structure is a beautiful piece <5T work that has been in the course of erection since January 1916. Plans were to have the building completed last summer, but the scarcity of labor hindered the progress: It has been modeled after some of the best car barns in the country and new ideas were added. The building is 100 by 275 feet and has a capacity for housing 40 cars. All the Hershey cars are manufactured by the Brill Car Company, Philadelphia, and are built for smooth riding and comfort. The structure is absolutely fire proof and has all modern conveniences. In the building are: Commodious rest rooms for employes, modern shower baths, handsome private offices , splen-did lighting system, excellent ventilation. A machine shop with all the latest devices and with a large drill press has been installed. All repairs will be made at the barn and a master mechanic will be in charge. Cars were run into the barn last week although the moving from the old barn proper will not take place until the end of the year. The old barn has been crowded , and it was necessary to leave some of the cars stand on the tracks outside of the building over night. When the old barn is vacated work will be started at once to remodel the. barn for a public garage. Many machine owners in Hershey are anxiously awaiting this improvement as it is centrally located and will ' be much more . convenient than going to the one over the railroad. All the Hershey lines are well patron-ized. The new line to. Elizabethtown has a heavy traffic and is far ahead of what was first expected. The new route to Manheim through Bachmanville is progressing and the surveyors have almost finished their work. The schedules of the Hershey lines are well kept. The new high tension system which was added last year has helped much in this end of the work. NEXT UNION SERVICES Will be December 10. Rev.

This means that a turkey dressed would cost 50 cents a pound and if you wish to go further and calculate on the loss in cooking and in bones the precious white meat you may be able to put into your mouth Thursday will represent a dollar or more a pound. There never were such prices as these in the whole history of the turkey tribe. A Hershey man who engaged two thirty pound gobblers some weeks ago had to pay 30 cents a pound. Nine dollars for a turkey is going some and yet it would have even more if it had not been ordered in advance. John Yorty sold ten turkeys for $48 and could have sold more. In Harrisburg turkeys sold 30 to 40 cents live weight and 40 to 50 cents dressed. "There is no apparent reason' for the increase save the general advance in prices and the wild scramble of people to get the limit in prices for everything they have to sell," said a dealer : . We understand that this was a dry year, a good 'turkey' year. But so far they're pretty scarce. Lots of farmers killed off all their birds to get fancy prices and they couldn't afford to keep them on account of the high price of corn and other feed. It looks like we'll eat more chicken this Thanksgiving than last year." The chicken market is very brisk, the fowls ranging in price from twenty-two to. twenty-eight cents a pound, according to the grade. Housekeepers find some encouragement in the abundance of cranberries from New Jersey and Cape Cod, which are selling for eight and ten cents a quart. A plump rooster, fattened for killing and disguised with plenty cranberry sauce, they argue, can with ease masquerade as a gobbler. More chickens than turkey will be eaten in Hershey this year, OVER 700 PU PILS IN THE SCHOOL New Activities in the M. S.

It Holds Its Own With the Remark - able Progress of Trust Companies In the United States. Some Figures That Are Import-ant and Interesting The Hershey Trust Company 's re- . port under date of November 17 pub-lished in full in this, issue of the Hershey Press is an unusually fine one. It sho-ws resources of $2,084,219.42, with individual deposits of $1,422,262.03. Its capital stock is $125,000; it has a surplus fund of $125,000, and it also has undivided profits, less expenses and taxes paid, of . $144,348.04. There has been a splendid increase all along the line in the business of this admu'r-: ably managed institution. This means ah increase in the number of depositors* in the number of persons served, in the totals of moneys handled and in all the various services performed by the.modern trust company. In view of the wonderful , success it seems curious and even amazing to re-call that when Mr. M. S. Hershey started the company there were many in this neighborhood who said it could never live. Not only has it lived but it has become a center of indispensable service to a large area of the Lebanon Valley and it is one of the most popular com-panies in the country with as handsome a home as can be found anywhere. The New Dividend At the regulr meeting of the board held on the 23rd a semi-annual dividend of five per cent was declared, payable December 1. This is the tenth dividend of 5 per cent paid by the Hershey Trust Company. Thus there has been re-turned in dividends to the stockholders $62,500, or one-half of the original capital since the company was organized twelve years ago. TRUST. COMPANY RESOURCES Now Exceed Seven Billion Six Hun-dred Million Dollars The fourteenth annual edition of "Trust Companies of the United States" issued by the United States Mortgage & Trust Company, New York , is being distributed. In the preface, President John W. Plat-ten says: "The Trust Companies of the United States during the year just closed have had exceptional ' opportunities for service to the financial and commercial interests of this country and to foreign nations as well. The problems incident to tho new position of the Trust Com-panies in world affairs have been met and solved with courage, while the business openings resulting therefrom have been availed of with enterprise and good judgement, A noteworthy increase in the business of acceptances, both foreign and domestic, the establishment of well equipped departments for the handling of foreign transactions, especially with with Central and South America , and liberal pnrtlcipatiqns in foreign loans, are till deserving of special mention, The work of unifying and improving existing laws for the safeguarding of the Interests of these companies and their clients is progressing satisfactorily, while tho administration of corporate -and probate trusts ever increasing volume is continually evidenced. "When If Isconsidercd thnUho aggregate of trust company resources reported during the year increased one billion , three hundred million dollars and now totals over .Seven billion six hundred iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini million dollars, the vital and growing importance of the part played by Trust Companies in national and international affairs will be fully realized and these institutions continue to receive a deserv-edly increasing measure of recognition and support." . Thestatementsof 1937 Trust Comanpies are contained in the book in addition ' to officers and directors, stock quotations, dividend rates, etc, while the names of 95 companies, are shown that did not render a report for' publication thus making a total of 2032 Trust Companies listed. Just five years ago the aggregate re-sources of these companies reported in this compilation were $5,168,00O,0O0> showing an increase of- 47 per cent for all trust companies in the United States. The showing of trust company growth in the United States is interesting : New York State increased $531,000,- 000 or 25 per cent. • Pennsylvania increased $139,000,000 or 15 per cent. Illinois increased $117,000,000 or eighteen per cent. Massachusetts increased $110,000,000 or 26 per cent. The total resources of the Trust Com-panies of Pennsylvania, amount to $1,- 075,745,000 a gain of $141,409,000 or 15 per cent during the past year.

" This is the greeting one gets at the Hershey Chocolate Factory these days, It seems that most of the world at this particular time wants cocoa and chocolate and everybody prefers the Hershey products, So the big plant is working 100 per cent and is still miles behind its orders, Among the shipments this week were several hundred tons of cocoa to Europe.
