FINE PROGRAM PREPARED FOR UNION PICNIC The stage is all set and the curtain ready to rise upon the first scene in connection with the annual Union Picnic of the Hershey Sunday Schools to be held in Carsonia Park , Reading, tomorrow. Everything is in readiness and the plans completed for a good old-fashioned picnic. All that is in any way necessary is good weather and the weather man has promised a day of sun-shine with not a shower to disturb the joyful picnickers. At the worst , a ram would not even dampen the enthusiasm of the people as the park has adequate con-veniences to accomodate the crowds. From all indications the affair is going to be a grand success . The ticket committee reports that the response on the part of the people is even greater than was at first antici pated. It appears that every member has signified his or her intention of joining the merry party and having one or more fri ends accompany them. In addition , a number of people from Palmyra , Annville , and other surrounding towns , have signified their intention of going. The train which will leave here at 7:45 o'clock will stop at Palmyra and Lebanon for the purpose of picking up these peop le. A very clever and entertaining program has been prepared for the entire day assuring every body a good time as special events have been placed upon the prog ram to take care of both sexes and all ages. Unlike in other years , a special significance is attached to the gathering this yea r as it will commemorate the resum ption of pre-war festivities . The event had been- can-celled the past two years , due to the war and the condition of the country in general. With things running now in better shape it was decided to hold it this year. The basket committee again issued the urgent request that the baskets be placed at the proper stations not later than 7 o'clock a. m. in order that they may be gathered by the trucks to be used for that purpose. The fare including street car rates , is $1.22 for adults and $.68 for children. Two cars will be reserved for Palmyra , the basket committee will also see that the bag-gage is taken care of and there will be some one at the station to sell tickets. THE ELEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD HOME , INC. The Good Shepherd Home, for crippled, blind , epileptic and sick infant orphan and destitute children , Allentown , Pa., will celebrate the Eleventh Anniversary on Thursday, August 14, 1919. In the eleven years of it 's existence , the Home has helped over 450 of the most needy children and 81 old people. Most of these were admitted absolutel y free of cost. In a number of cases the Home paid for the burial of those who died. The Home is a Lutheran Home, but re-ceives helpless children and old people] regardless of money, creed , cgior or nation-ality. 1'he newly organized Band consisting of crippled boys, under the directorship of Josep h Smith, will furnish the music on Anniversary Day. In addition to the city property, the Home has two large farms near the city limits. The value of the property is over $140,000 with only $12,000 debt. Plans are being drawn up for the new Main Building for the Cripp led boys, in which will also be the Administration offices. Twenty-six of the crippled boys are camp-ing on the Banks of the Little Lehigh River, on the Good Shepherd Home farms . They are under the care and instruction of George Tamke, a student of the Mt. Airy Lutheran Theolog ical Seminary, Philadel phia , Pa. TOMATO STALKS NEARLY 8 FEET HIGH James K. Putt , of Hershey, claims the champ ionship of Dauphin County when it comes to a question of raising tomatoes. At the present time the stalks on his patch are seven and a half feet high and Mr . Putt expects them to reach a height of 14 feet. They are full of choice and luscious fruit. STATE ALUMNI TO MEET HERE THIS WEEK Weather permitting, the last three weeks of August will be an exceptionall y busy time in Hershey Park. With a number of large picnics booked it is certai n that the crowds for at least four or five picnics will number way into the thousands. Satu rday, August 9, will brin g the Alumni of Penn State College and their friends as well as a large number from the Narrow Fabric Company of Lebanon. The Penn State gathering will mark a very important affair in the history of the school Alumni in this part of the state . To date more than two thousand graduates and undergraduates have informed the committee in charge of their intention of being present and grea t preparations are being made to accomodate them. The Sports committee has arranged for a grea t day. One of the features will be a baseball game between two teams of present and former school players. The graduates team will be captained by "Shorty " Miller , without exception the greatest football player ever developed in Penns ylvania and the equal of any player of any time in any college. In addition to being a great foot-ball star , Miller is a good baseball player and he is certain to have a grea t team for the occasion. The under graduates expect to spring a surp rise and will not announce their team. In all events it promises to be a great day for all present. The next large picnic will be the annual gathering of the Harrisburg Grocers . With-out a doubt this will be the lar gest picnic of the season and the committee in charge has arranged to accomodate 20,000 peop le in the course of the day . This annual affair is the chief day of amusement in the routine of the grocer 's life. Every grocer in the city closes for the day and journe ys to Hershey and invariabl y, ail the customers trail with them . There is small reason for the customer stay ing at home. The Grocer 's Picnics have reached such a stage that the live peop le of the town have no. desire to remain at.home. There is enough excitement upon that- one day in Hershey to attract the peop le from miles around. Games , prizes in abundance , and "bi g eats " are the watch-words of the day. August 21, the Kni ghts of Columbus of Lancaster , Readin g and Harrisburg will journey to Hershey where they have planned to put one of the snapp iest and bri ghtest days in the history of the organization. Six or seven thousand persons are expected upon that day . The following Thursday, August 28, the Kiwanis Club of Harrisburg and the Alumni Association of the Harrisburg Central High School will picnic in the park and it is ex-pected that this crowd .will aggregate sev-eral thousand. Both organizations have arranged very attractive programs for the day. Included in the program of the Alumni Association is an addres s by Lieutenant Governor E. E. Beidleman and Dr. F. C. Downes, Superintendent of the City Schools. In addition to this ball games and contests between the various classes will be conducted . Some of the stars of former years have signified their intention of partici pating in the contests. The various committees in charge of the Harrisburg Christian Endeavor Union Picnic, to be held August 29, are busil y engaged in putting the finishing touches upon all their plans and it is certain that the day will be a thriller. BOLSHEVIST WOMEN ORGANIZE FORCES Women's Red volunteer battalions are being formed in many districts of Soviet Russia , according to official advices re-ceived'here today . These women enjoy the same privileges as male soldiers in the Red army with regard to food and exemption from rent , etc. The first women's volunteer battalion has left Kaluga for the front. The report states that in view of the present critical situation the Sovieh'Govern-ment has issued an appeal to schoolboys , asking them to enroll as volunteers in the Red arm y. LOCAL S WIN THRE E GAMES DURI NG WEEK The Hershey baseball team put in a strenuous week playing four . games in as many consecutive days and emerging with three victories and one defeat. The vic-tories were gained at the expense of the Harrisburg Colored Giants , The Highspire A. C, and the Fulton A. C, of Lancaster. TJ ie one defeat was suffered at the hands of the fast Carlisle team upon the latter 's field Saturday afternoon , and came after the local boys had gained a substantial lead. A game had been scheduled with the Rose-wood team of Harrisburg for Tuesday evening, but wet grounds caused the post-ponement until a later date. In the game Thursday evening against the Colored boys from the Capital City, Yost, on the mound for Hershey , allowed the dusk y players but one scratch hit , shut-ting them out without a run while his mates pasted the ball all over the lot for a total of twelve hits and four runs. The following night the Highspire boys arrived on the local field and announced their intention of taking the measure of the local players. They left the field an hour and a half later , a sadder but wiser bunch of tossers. The final result showed two runs in the column for the Hershey boys and one run for the visitors. , It was a great game from start to finish , full of thrills and brimful of snappy plays. Heagy pitched for the Hershe y team and gave a highly creditable exhibition of twirling, never per-mitting himself toi get . in danger . The visitor 's pitcher also pitched good ball but his team mates could not connect with the ball and consequentl y he was forced to bow in defeat. The Saturda y afternoon game in Carlisl je was the one that brou ght disaster to the Chocolate Town lads. Up to the seventh inning they had thin gs all their own way, being on the long end of 6-1 score and practicall y assured of the game. It is an old saying that "a game is never over until the last man is out ," and it worked to per-fection in this case. The entire team went up at the same time and before they could get together , the Carlisle boys had shoved seven runs across the pan 'and assumed a lead that the Hersheyites could not overcome. The next day showed a complete reversal of form on the part of the locals, when thev bucked against the Fulton A: C. at Lan-caster . Despite the fact that the Fulton team has been having things their own way all through the season , winning game after game, they proved no match for their opponents in this case, either defensively or offensively. The Hershey team played like a machine , with that smooth easy manner of the big leaguers. Both Yost and Heagy took a crack at the pitching end of the game and both pitched air-ti ght ball. Heagy started the game and retired in the sixth inning when he discovered that his arm was likely to feel the effects of pitching several games that week. Yost relieved him and pitched the same gilt edged brand. FINED FOR JUMPING-OUT OF CAR With the arrest last week of a young man from Harrisburg, charged with crawling out of the windows of the street cars while still in motion , the transit officials believe that they have put an effectual stop to the prac-tice that has caused them much annoyance this season. It appears thai a number of boys coming from Harrisburg have made it an habitual event to jump out the window in an effort to get out ahead of the crowd. In this case the boy was told by the crew not to do so but he persis ted in his efforts. At this juncture he was again warned by an official but he disregarded the warning and in addi-tion used insulting langua ge. He was arrested and taken before Squire Miller where he was fined and the costs placed upon him. _ The Fulton team is considered one of the fastest in Lancaster County and has defeated all contenders for the city championship . It is likely that a return game, will be given them in tie near future. Hershey will play at Red Lion on Saturday. MEN'S CLUB PLAN EVENTS FOR WINTER ¦ i At a meeting of a number of the members of the Hershey Men's Club several nights ago, definite plans were laid for the activities of the coming winter and preparatory ;ste4>s taken towards carry ing out the plans. IT One of the main things decided upon was the formation of a Dramatic Club, to jbe composed of members of the association. A perusal of the membershi p records. ! show that there are a number who possess!more than the average degree of abili ty in that line and the directors are confident that! a first class Dramatic Club can be formed. It is planned to give a seri es of entertain-ments throughout the winter . j I Another step or move to be undertaken is the establishment of a series of dances jto be held -on the gymnasium floor at leasi once a week or probably more. These dances will be under the management of a party selected by the director. The directors have several persons in view from whom the selection will be made . Whether or not this will be a permanent affair will depend upon the viewpoints of the people to a con-siderable extent . If it is seen that ¦ 'the movement would be popular , it will be con-tinued all winter. j [I A few other plans were discussed and committ ees appointed to gather advance data bearing upon them. These plans I to-gether with more definite announcem ents concerning the Dramatic Club anil the Dance will be made public within ' 'a few weeks.

The committee in charge of the connert at Palmyra extends a cordial invitatio n to everyone to attend the concert. NAVY OFFICERS NEEDED ' i . There are hundreds of officers in the naval reserve who, havin g their duties cur-tailed by the cessation of hostili ties, ; are only awaiting a good opening elsewhere before they apply for thei r discharge. l lPor the benefit of these officers, William Q. Rice, chief of the Sea Service Bureau , {with head quarters in the Bourse , issued a state-ment yesterday , callin g their atten tion to the existence of a stron g demand for their services in the merchan t marinel (This branch of the service, he says, has alread y solved thejprobtein of where to go and what to do for many men who have left the-naval service, and the fact thi t-more of then!
