If S. D. Clark, the energetic and pro-gressive manager of the Hershey Depart-ment Store, had had only cartridges in his shotgun early Monday morning, two husky housebreakers might have been landed in the Hershey lock-up and Ralph Fiore had the pleasure of escorting them later to the Dauphin County jail. But sad to relate, the cartridges were missing, and the two fellows vamboosed. On Monday morning about one o'clock Mr. Clark heard noises about the house that made him arise and determine what was going on. Going downstairs he heard someone endeavoring to get into the house by the window, but they heard his approach and made, their disappearance. Upon further investigation he found fha f the shutters and the window were open. The members of the household naturally were alarmed and it was sometime before they again retired . Mr. Clark states that he never for the moment thought that the fellows would again make their appearance, which they did about an hour later when he and Fred were about to. go upstairs, when sounds were again heard. Procuring his shotgun he awaited fur-ther developments. He had not long to wait for he saw two fellows lurking near the 'same window that they had once before tried to enter. The one fellow got in full view and it was then that Mr. Clark :umped from his hiding place and with the &ur> to his shoulder commanded "One move from you and I will blow your head off." No sooner had he made this statement than it came to him tha t the gun was not loaded . It certainly was some pre-dicament to be in. There was only one solution and that was, get the cartridges. Mr. Clark, keeping the fellows covered all the while, informed Fred, who was nearby to go get the cartridges. Mr. Clark thinks that the fellow must heard him tell Fred to get the cartridges, have for like a flash he, with his pal, was off in the darkness. The next morning Ralph Fiore was on the scene and gathered all the evidence obtainable and there is not doubt of it that soonet or later these two fellows will soon be walking down Chocolate avenue handcuffed with Ralph walking jauntily by their side Two Robbers Almost Ca ptured WATCH FOR NEXT WEEK 'S HER-SHEY PRESS Next week the Press will contain an extra sheet, the Big Surprise JDay sheet. The first Surprise Day, held/last month, was a big day, but bigger surprises are promised for August. The Surprises are now being prepared and when "you get your Surprise sheet next week you will be surprised. Watch for the day and date. WELL RAISED. A negro mammy had a family of boys so\we\\ behaved that one day her mistress asked : "Sally, how did you raise your boys so well?" ^ "Ah'll tell you, missus," anseredw Sally "Ah raise dem boys with a barrel stave, and Ah raise 'em frequent."— Everybody's. Stellar Plays Presented at Hershey Park The Pickert Sisters Stock Company continues to please at the Hershey Theatre this week. For the last half of last week they presented "In Walked Jimmy" which play received praise from all sides. Val. C. Cleary made'many friends in the part of Jimmy. Grace Pickert won many laughs as Delia Dunn, and Blanche Pick-ert , although she only had a small part, pleased. The rest of the cast was good. In "Rich Man, Poor Man" the com-pany presented one of the prettiest pla ys ever seen here. The story is well known to many because of its run in the Saturday Evening Post. As Bab, Blanche Pickert was at her best and had a part well suited to her. Val C. Cleary and Ward Mc- Donough , the two lovers, were at their best. The settings, for this play were as good as any ever seen on the local stage. The specialties between acts have been popular. The Pickert Sisters have been seen in songs and dances and Ward Mc- Donough in a nut specialty, won much applause. Erlau on the Xylophone made his ap-pearance on Thursday, Friday and Sat-urday and was long applauded. Much interest has been aroused in the new war play that will be presented the last three days of this week. The play is by Mr. B. A. Fox, who has already served his time in the trenches and seen enough war to be in a position to give an excellent idea of what it is like. The play is new and up-to-date and a title for the play has not as yet been selected . Therefore, the management has offe red fiv( dollars in gold for the best tit!.' sent in. A committee of three will be appoint-ed who will go over the ti tles and select the best one. You are requested after seeing the play to write your title down on a piece of paper with your name and address and drop it in the suggestion box that is outside of the office at the park. Chester Woodard has worked on the scenery for this play and promises something out of the ordinary in the scenery line. The play will have toTse seen to be appreciated. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, "Little Peggy O'Moore" will be present-ed. The story is one of the prettiest little Irish stories ever told and it is a play that will show the Pickert Sisters Stock Co. at their best, As Little Peggy O'Moore, Miss Blanche Pickert is at her best and Mr. Cleary as Dan Murphyt has a part well fitted to his line of work. Spec-ial scenery will be used to properly pre-sent this interesting play. The Wash-ington Post said the following about the play: "Peggy O'Moore" while it resembles "Peg Of My Heart " in many ways fairly abounds with quaint Irish wit that makes the audience wish to bo in the land of the shamrock. Persistently tense, and gripping, filled with romance coupled with many scenes posirively thrilling "The Heart of Wet-ona " which will be played the first half of next week should prove one of the genuine successes of the season. Orig-inally presented by that master of stage-craft, David Belasco, ably assisted by the late Chas. Frohman, foremost pro-ducer in America," "The Heart of Wetona" scored such an emphatic hit in New York that it remained at the mctroplis for sev-eral months. The story is one that grips the heart and concerns the misfortunes that befell an innocent little Indian maid who placed too much reliance upon the empty promises of an unprincipled white man. Of course, in the end, Wetona learns the value of true love while the villainy is rewarded with i*s just deserts. "The Heart of Wetona," coming as it does with the stamp of success written all over it by critical New York will un-doubtedly prove a big drawing card and a dramatic sensation at the Hershey Park theatre next week. A SPECIAL PATRIOTIC CONCERT SUNDAY AFTERNOON Although the community services have been very successful, the management at Hershey Park decided to discontinue them for this season. This Sunday a special Patriotic con-cert by the Hershey Orchestra, under the leadership of Prof. John Rhodes, will be rendered, in conjunction with their regular concert program. The patriotic numbers are as follows: "The Star Spangled Banner," "Sweet and Low," "America, " "A Perfect Day," "Keep the Home Fires Burning," "Battle Hymn of the Republic", "Your Old Uncle Sam," "We're Tenting Tonight," "There 's a Long, Long, Trail," "Goodbye I'm Going Over," "Over There," "When the Flag Goes By," and others. A special attraction will be selections on the xylophone by Erlau Wilcox. The concert begins at 2 o'clock, p. m. Dr. J. L. Zimmerman, who has been the physician of the various Hershey in-terests, for several years, and who has received a commission in the U. S. Army, leaves for Camp Cody, New Mexico, on Sunday, August 18th. Dr. Zimmerman wishes to inform his patrons that he expects at the close of the war to return to Hershey and resume his practice. DR. J. L. ZIMMERMAN LEAVES FOR ARMY ON SUNDAY DID NOT BORROW TO BUY BONDS The Federal Reserve Bulletin says that one of the most encouraging and gratify-ing features of the Third Liberty Loan is that apparentl y there has been little use of bank accommodations for the purchase of the bonds. It estimates that probably more than 80 per cent of the bonds are al-ready fully paid for . The financial statements of the various Federal reserve banks indicate, according to the Bulletin, that not much borrowing from the banks was done by the sub-scribers to the third loan. They either paid cash or bought on the installment plan. This eases a great deal th'e burden of the banks, upon whose shoulders rests the financing of the business and industry of the country. " — NOTICE All persons indebted to" me kindly settle at once, as I am leaving for service in the Army on Sunday, August 18th. DR. J. L. ZIMMERMAN.
