"It was decided at the meeting of the

same plan of work as that of last year and
to retain the same committees as far as
possible.
"It is suggested that you have a meeting
of your Committee as soon as possible
and begin work in your district. For your
convenience there is enclosed a copy of
the letter sent to committee chairmen last
year outlining what should be done. This
may be of assistance to you in planning
your work and pursuing it to a success-ful
issue.
"Although the spring is late this year
flies are beginning to appear and if we
wish to obtain good results it will be neces-sary
to begin work immediately and hope
that you can find it possible to take care
of your district.
If for any reason you cannot serve in
the capacity of Chairman of your Com-mittee,
please inform the Secretary of that
fact so that other provision can be made."

TWO VERY BIG BOYS
They Drop in on Hershey After a
Tramp .of Seventy Miles
, Every year Judge Roscoe Pound, Dean
Of the Harvard Law School, and Orner
Hershey, who is one of the most brilliant
graduates of the*same school, take a long
tramp. Both are great lovers of nature
and Judge Pound is one of the noted bot-anists
of the world, being a member of the
leading societies of America and Europe,
and an important contributor to botanical
literature. Mr. Hershey also enjoys a
close acquaintance with flowers and- trees,
and both are fond of history. Last week
they took their annual tramp over Vir-ginia
battlefields and hiked more than
seventy miles. From there they came to
Hershey to visit Mr. Hershey's mother,
Mrs.. Menno Hershey, whose guests they
were last Saturday. Mr. Pound, born in
Nebraska, and Mr. Hershey, bom near
this town, met at Harvard and became
friends. The one returned to Nebraska,
became dean of the university law school,
sat on the Supreme Court, directed the
botanical survey of the state and acquired
fame both in science and jurisprudence,
with the .result that he /was called to be
the head of the Harvard School. Intel-lectually
Dean Pound is placed among the
first half dozen living Americans. Omer
Hershey went to Baltimore.and soon rank-ed
among the leading lawyers of the South.
He was offered high office , but he always
declined and his only excursions outside his
profession were in speeches on large oc-casions.
The John Hopkins University
which draws the great ones from all parts
of the earth holds him in .such esteem
that it enlists h;s. services whenever pos-sible.
The visit of Messrs Hershey and Pound
to Hershey was to see Mrs. Hershey, to
whom they are still big boys but who can-not
help being proud of what they .have
accomplished in the world. The visitors
spent all their time with Mrs. Hershey
and here they separated, Judge Pound re-turning
to Boston and Mr. Hershey to
Baltimore.
STRUCK BY BALL
Walter Colvin was painfully injured one
evening last week when he was struck a
terrific blow in the face with a bad bound-ing
grounder while practicing ball at the
park diamond.

A force of 22 men are at work com-pleting
the planting scheme of High-land
Park. The plants being put in. in-clude
a varied assortment of shrubbery,
roses and evergreens; 5,400 altogether.
These are being placed on the numerous
open spots along the driveways. One of
the features is a rosebank 450 feet long arid
75 feet wide, covered with 500 Dorothy
Perkins roses, 100. Persian Yellow and
100 white polyantha, a great blanket of
pink, yellow and white.
On the top of the hill 200 pine trees
back up the planting. These are white
pines and are six and seven feet high.
At points along the driveway where
FORC E OF MEN AT WORK ' PUTTING ¦ IN THOUSANDS OF
NEW PLANTS AND FLOWERS . A WONDERLUL ROSE

NEW PLANTING. HUNDRED THOUS-AND
PLANTS AND BLOOMS
small trees are growing large beds of fox-glove,
bleeding hearts, azaleas, woodlilies,
sweet Williams and Japanese honeysuckle
will make charming spots Of bloom and
color among the trees. At other place*
great masses of vincas in blue and white
will make a beautiful carpet under the
trees.
Starting at the two springs on the north
driveway large beds of lovely German iris
in 25 separate colors together with mallow
marvels with immense flowers in pink,
white and red from 8 to 12 inches across
will make a gorgeous showing "in July.
These are all planted along the small
stream that leads from the springs down
to Swatara Creek.
At the point on the driveway where a
huge mass of rocks projects the face will
be draped in flowers adapted to such place's
including idleweis, rockcress, stonewort
and others.
Huge masses of rhododendron and laurel
will be planted at many points.
On Highland Park have already been
planted over 100,000 trees and plants,
including over 50,000 pine trees, and all
this planting is now being perfected in its
details. The results are quite beyond
description.
At the present time the forsythia or
golden bell, making immense sheets of
yellow, are in bloom, and so are the moun-tain
pinks in lilac, white and red, beautiful
flowers of the spring1.
On the hill south of the north drive-way
is an unusual display of wild flowers,
the finest ever seen in this vicinity.; Sev-eral
acres are blanketed and it is impossible
to walk over the hill without touching them
at every step. It is a sight worth coming
miles to see. The flowers are lovely and are
in all the colors.
Praise for th e Hershey Flower Show
Charles Uttley, the Harrisburg florist,-
who ranks among the best judges of flowers
in America, was a visitor to the recent Her-shey
Flower Show, and he contributes the
following article to the latest issue of
The Florists' Exchange, the leading paper
devoted to the flower industry :
"Yesterday I visited the Hershey Flower
Show at Hershey, Pa. The wonderful
display of rare and beautiful foliage
plants was a. revelation. A collection so
vast and of such wonderful specimens
gathered from all parts of the world it
is unusual for one man to possess. The
display covered an area of several thou-sand
square feet, consisting of green-houses,
conservatories and displays of
houses of great proportions, one, a cir-cular
one with a dome over 100 feet high,
was distinguishable by a central shaft
covered by a Wistaria vine in full bloom.
The floors of this house were laid out in
a Dutch garden effect with wonderful
Boxwood and Bays, with large sections
of Hyacinths and Tulips. Here and
there were large clusters of deep purple
Lilac and also a new Rhododendron,
beautiful single pink. Around the walls
were white enameled baskets filled with
wonderful Calendulas and ' Nasturtiums:
There was a great show house in which
was a wonderful collection of Coleus,
Cacti and plants from central America,
among which were gorgeous colored par-rots
and rare birds of the Orient. This
added much to the show."

it work at-this place. . . '
There are between 500 and 600 foreign-ers
in and around Swatara. Sometime ago
a Bible Class was started in the ,waiting
room of the railroad station. The attend-ance
soon ran up'to 85 members and the
room was too small. Then came the child-ren
wanting to attend. So a room was
opened in the postofnee, but that, too, was
promptly overcrowded. The need of a
building was great.
It was decided to make the new build-ing
unique in its purposes and it was thrown
open to all denominations. The enterprise
had the full support of the community
from the start. Mr. and Mrs. George.
H. Seiler donated a lot 40 by 200 feet and
the building was begun. It was now been
finished. It is 30 by 50 with a basement
and a main room furnished with 165
chairs. . . It has . a furnace arid electric
lights. The total cost was,$2,600, of which
$1,200 has been paid. A large attendance
is expected on the day of dedication.
