F O R M I D D L E ATLANTIC STATES.—Generally fair weather, with moderate temperatures, may be expected during the week. Hershe y and Palmyra Agree Two Will Stay Together in the Luth-eran Parish It has been decided by the Luth-erans of Hershey and Palmyra that they will remain in their same parish and that there will be no separation of their churches for tho present year at least. The decision was reached at a meeting this week and the best of feeling prevailed , Pay as You Enter All Hershey Cars to be Run on This New Plan The handsome new cars of the Her-shey Transit Company are Pay-As- You-Enter and all the Hershey lines will bo run on this proven plan. The rule is being put into effect gradu-ally and the cooperation of the pa-trons is requested, Tho reason it is done on some cars and not on others is that all tho cars have not yet been equipped with Pny-As-You-Entor platform arrangements. This change is being made. Tho Pay-As-You-Entor has been fully tested and established. It is for tho convenience and better pro-tection of the passengers, It keeps tho conductor from going through the cur when ho Is most needed on tho platform and it saves his attention for tho duties of his place. It has heon found that the now system has reduced accidents and greatly aided in tho keeping of schedules. Where tho passenger can cooperate is in hav-ing his nickel or his ticket ready when he enters. A little foresight will help all around , Many Acres in Corn l In preceded Crop Expected From Her-shey Farms This Year General Superintendent William Jf. I .ebklehor and Cionorul Managers F, II, Snavely and James Millard have decided to make 1015 a great, corn year in this pm't of the Lebanon Valley. In the farms uiu'lor the manaKunumt of Mr. Snavely 1,(100 acres are dovot- 0(1 to .Spring corn , In tho demonstra-tion farms under Mr. Millard thoro will bo many largo com floldH, The expectation Is aw high as .100 bushels to tho nc.ro, Thus the corn crop on tho Hershoy farniH tills year Is expect-ed to be over 100,000 bushels, A Big Picture Saturda y Star is Mary Pickford , the Girl Who Gets .$100,000 a Year There will be a packed house at the Hershey Central Theater Satur-day night, for Manager Heilma'n has succeeded in getting one of the big-gest picture shows of the country. It is Mary Pickford in "Tess Of the Storm Country," and the play is un-der the dii-ection of tho famous manager , Daniel Frohman. Mary Pickford is the wonder of the camera. She is tho highest-paid woman in the world , .her salary this year being over $2,000 a week or more than $100,000 for tho year. Her success is in her genius for in-terpretation and her charm of face and figure, In this piny she is at her best. It is rare good fortune that brings this reel to Hershoy but tho admission will not bo raised above the usual Saturday night price which is 10 cents. Buildings Advancing This week the now home of the Ilor-shoy Press will begin to rise above ground. The big concrete founda-tions are in, The towers with tholr many wires and tho rigging for tho concrete apparatus extending nearly four hundred foot from Chocolate Avonuo to the railroad and to tho 1(58 foot of the high tower look liko the upper equipment , of u groat bat-tleship nnd attract constant attention , lloi'shey Convention Hull has as-sumed olophnntlno proportions.

Many Pine Trees for the ' New Golf Course. Another Ad-dition to the Mansion Grounds. New Fountain More than 50,000 trees, plants and shrubs have been used in the develop-ment and adornment of Hershey but in 1915 the planting will be the most important since the new town began. Just now the most active »work is on the big hill which until th<S final name is selected is called Prospect Heights and which overlooks Hershey and commands one of the noblest views in America. Around the reser-voirs on the summit rails and bannis-ters are being built. Two handsome pergolas and four charming summer houses are under way. The material is cement. Down the hill , will be the procession of cascades and here the work is very artistic and skillful. The cascade basins will be of cement but the facing will be of natural rock so arranged that it will ultimately have the appearance of native springs flowing from natural rock. All around will be beautiful vines and flowers, including many roses. On the heights are being planted 2,500 hemlocks and 1,000 honeysuckles, these being in addition to the 20,000 plants put in last year. The hill will be a mound of bloom and lovliness; To the southeast of the big hill is the new golf course covering 200 acres and containing 18 greens. Here 18,- 000 small pine trees are being planted; Addition to Mansion Grounds The corner at the southeast of the Mansion Grounds running practically to Chocolate Avenue will be turned into a unique and beautiful place. Along the new stone ' walls will, be 100 Hiawatha roses producing masses of pink. . At the entrance will be an immense flower bed filled with Japa-nese weeping cherries and other bril-liant plants. ¦ There will be an artis-tic fountain and around it will be vines arid shrubs. Inside there will be a profuse use of different kinds of shrubbery. In addition to the . plant and floral work of the Hershey interests there is more private planting this year than ever before. The total of new plants in the town runs into tens of thousands. Here Are the Real Champions The Girls' Base Ball Team Will be Ready to Play Superstition only increases the score in base ball and so there is noth-ing but good fortune in the fact that 13 attended the first! meeting of the members of the i'^Young Women's Christian Association 'called to organ-ize for the base ball season and to make memorable the use of the new diamond which Mr. Hershey has pre-sented to them. Everybody, was interested and these officers wore elected: president, Vir-ginia , Hershey ; secretary, Ruth Zoll; treasurer , Florence Landgraff. Now for the team and the schedule! The first meeting will be held at six o'clock this—Thursday—Evening. ' All who wish to play will , attend and will see either President Virginia Hershey or Miss Burch. Successful Demonstration A very successful demonstration of tho International Harvester Company tractor engine was p;lven at the oust end of Ilorshoy last Wednesday after-noon. Tho exhibition was under the auspices of the Implement Depart-ment of the Hershey Store Company and was attended , by over 100 people, most of whom wore farmers residing hi this vicinity , Charles Kdris of the Harvester Company operated tho machine and during' the demonstra - tion plowed several acres of ground. Tho machine Is one of tho latest im-proved farming implements and its operation is so simple that it can bo handled by a boy, Tho machine can bo operated at an expenditure of one dollar and lil'toon cents a day.

Hershe y and Palmyra Agree
Two Will Stay Together in the Luth-eran
Parish

Pay as You Enter
All Hershey Cars to be Run on This
New Plan
The handsome new cars of the Her-shey
Transit Company are Pay-As-
You-Enter and all the Hershey lines
will bo run on this proven plan. The
rule is being put into effect gradu-ally
and the cooperation of the pa-trons
is requested, Tho reason it is
done on some cars and not on others
is that all tho cars have not yet been
equipped with Pny-As-You-Entor
platform arrangements. This change
is being made.
Tho Pay-As-You-Entor has been
fully tested and established. It is
for tho convenience and better pro-tection
of the passengers, It keeps
tho conductor from going through the
cur when ho Is most needed on tho
platform and it saves his attention
for tho duties of his place. It has
heon found that the now system has
reduced accidents and greatly aided
in tho keeping of schedules. Where
tho passenger can cooperate is in hav-ing
his nickel or his ticket ready
when he enters. A little foresight
will help all around ,
