A-bout one Thousand Persons Re-ceive Checks Calling for Twenty Per Cent on All Earnings for Year ' A thousand persons we're made happy Monday by letters and enclosures they received..

Yours very truly, HERSHEY CHOCOLATE COMPANY, William F. R. Murrie, President It has been the biggest year in the company's history and so the amount distributed topped all previous totals, but the exact figures are not given out. The Hershey bonus is a purely optional gift and is determined by the Board of Directors after the business of the year is considered. It was begun by Mr. Hershey eight years ago and it has been paid annually because each year's bus-iness justified it. The effect has been altogether desirable. It has brought the employees and their company into a finer relationship and has helped to build up the present remarkable work-ing organization of the factory, prob-ably the best organization of its kind in the country. In. the first year of the plan only 20 per .cent of the employees could qualify under the condition of six months continuous employment. Now the percentage is over 80.

D. No. 2. U. S. APPETITE FOR CHOCOLATE 243,232,000 Pounds of Crude Co«oa Imported Last Year. Increase Due to Demand in the United . States. Some New Ship-ments from Africa . A growing fondness for chocolate and cocao is indicated in ' the greatly in-creased imports of crude' cocoa Into the United States during the last fiscal year. - ' . " • According . to statistics . compiled by the : Bureau of Foreign and ' Domestic Commerce of the Department of Com-merce, a total of 243,232,000 pounds were purchased abroad during the fiscal wear 1916, which is 50,000,000 pounds rmore than was brought in 1915 and double the imports of 1910. This is not to be accounted for by decreased imports of manufactured co-coa and chocolate, because we are buwing such products in about the usual quan-tities. Nor is it because we are ship-ping abroad larger quantities of. pre^ pared cocoa aiftr"chocolate. It is due solely to a growing taste for chocolate and cocoa, especially the former, says the Ledger. A most pleasing feature of the grow-ing trade is the fact that some of the producing countries are now shipping to the United States direct instead' of through European middlemen, On.e of the instances in 1916 was a direct ship-ment of 25,000,000 pounds from British West Africa , imports from which country heretofore reached the United States via England. There were marked increases in shipments from Brazil, Portugal, and French Africa , and a sharp decline in those from the United Kingdom, HERSHEY MET ANNVILLE I t Was Hard to Lose After the Five Straight Victories After gaining five straight decisions, three of which were played away from home, the girls' basketball five of the Hershey High School were defeated last Friday evening by the representative High Schc^oTTTyV-of-ihat place by the score of 26 to 14. Several members of the Hershey five have not fully recovered from injuries received in the O'berlin game and for this reason were unalble to do their best. Hershey showed plenty of fighting spirit and played a strong game, but could not check their beaiver opponents. The Hershey boys played the Annville boys the same evening and Annville took this game with ease by 41 -to 12 The Hershey team was helpless before the onslaught of their opponents and Annville always held the lead by a safe margin.

D. No. 2. U. S. APPETITE FOR CHOCOLATE 243,232,000 Pounds of Crude Co«oa Imported Last Year. Increase Due to Demand in the United . States. Some New Ship-ments from Africa . A growing fondness for chocolate and cocao is indicated in ' the greatly in-creased imports of crude' cocoa Into the United States during the last fiscal year. - ' . " • According . to statistics . compiled by the : Bureau of Foreign and ' Domestic Commerce of the Department of Com-merce, a total of 243,232,000 pounds were purchased abroad during the fiscal wear 1916, which is 50,000,000 pounds rmore than was brought in 1915 and double the imports of 1910. This is not to be accounted for by decreased imports of manufactured co-coa and chocolate, because we are buwing such products in about the usual quan-tities. Nor is it because we are ship-ping abroad larger quantities of. pre^ pared cocoa aiftr"chocolate. It is due solely to a growing taste for chocolate and cocoa, especially the former, says the Ledger. A most pleasing feature of the grow-ing trade is the fact that some of the producing countries are now shipping to the United States direct instead' of through European middlemen, On.e of the instances in 1916 was a direct ship-ment of 25,000,000 pounds from British West Africa , imports from which country heretofore reached the United States via England. There were marked increases in shipments from Brazil, Portugal, and French Africa , and a sharp decline in those from the United Kingdom, HERSHEY MET ANNVILLE I t Was Hard to Lose After the Five Straight Victories After gaining five straight decisions, three of which were played away from home, the girls' basketball five of the Hershey High School were defeated last Friday evening by the representative High Schc^oTTTyV-of-ihat place by the score of 26 to 14.
