' Next Week . Since last week there has been a suc-cession of pleasant days and fine, crowds in Hershey Park and every department has been busy and successful. The new Park Cafe is such a center of popularity and convenience that one wonders how we ever got along without it. On the big days it feeds thousands with ease and everyone has praise for its big spaces and cooling breezes. Some of the best picnics in the park's history took place within the past seven days and it is hardly fair to discriminate as to their merits, but almost any jury would find a verdict for July 14 when the Harrisburg and Reading stores of Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart came on special trains, and Hager Brother employees of Lancaster came in special trolleys, and took possession of the park and the tow* and the surrounding country. - ' With the Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart visitors the day was a series of competi-tions and contests and the sporting spirit rah high. Youngest and most enthusiastic of all were George S. Pomeroy, the big man of the big firm, and William H. Bennethum, ,the very able manager of the Harrisburg Store. Around them were large staffs of clever and handsome aids and there were very many very pretty girls. During every minute of their stay something was going on. The famous Periwinkle and Schnitzlebunk bands, choruses of greeting, games of all kinds, spectacular marching by a well-drilled military company, two banquets, sight-seeing in automobiles and great times in the pool were some of the things that crowd-ed the hours and made a record for lively entertainment in Hershey Park. Not an unpleasant incident occurred and the day was one of the great happiness, especially to the heads of departments who in the joy of the festivities forgot about place and dignity. Mr. Pomeroy and Mr. Bennethum.and tneTriamines and friends were taken to Highland Park and other points of interest under the escort of S. D. Clark, who be-fore coming to Hershey was connected with Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart. At the banquet in the evening Mr. Clark received a great tribute , from his old colleagues. The Reading Store with Mr. Cohm as spokesman presented him with a loving cup which was filled to over-flowing with pleasant words and good wishes from Mr. Pomeroy and the others and then Mr. Pomeroy added a personal souvenir by presenting to Mr. Clark a very handsome travelling bag. There was a great deal of applause and the oratory was unusually bright. The /visitors praised Hershey as the best picnic place they had ever visited. The Hager Beneficial Association com-prising the employees of the famous Hager Brother Store of Lancaster, came in special trolley cars and they brought some of the finest visitors Hershey has entertained. Their program was quiet but wholly enjoyable and they received much social attention here. The papers had long reports of these picnics. After their trip the officials of the Hager Beneficial Association sent a letter to Superintendent Kreider thanking him and the Hershey Transit Company for "the prompt and courteous service rendered them on the clay of their picnic at Hershey Park , thereby adding much pleasure to their excursion. " On Tuesday the big Luthera n Reunion filled the . park and enjoyed a splendid program, includin g special glee singing from the band stand. Every day for the rest of the season there will be picnics and reunions. Today the Union Sunday School of Reading Akicn , Reading, is enjoying the park , and the schedule for the days to come this unci next weak include: tomorrow, Market Street Baptist of Harrisburg; Saturday, St, Stephens Reformed of Lebanon ; Tuesday, Union Sunday Schools of Mount Joy ; Wednesday, Fourth Street Church of God, Harrisburg and the Church of God , Washington Borough , and the Penbroolt union Sunday School ; Thursday, July '28, HummolHtown ; July 20, Stale College Day and the picnic from Oberlin. HERSHEY'S NEW GARAGE Old Carbarn to bo Remodeled and Thoroughly Modernized When the big new carbarn now being built in KiihI. Ilersli ey Is ready, work will'bo begun on the old carbarn In West Hershey and it will be made Into ono of the finest and most complete, garages of the stiite. It in ideally lot-filed and it will bo much more convenient than the present garage north of the railroad , The , old carbarn Is one of the njost mibul initial buildings in llurshoy, It. is of limestone and is of ample proportions, ho that there will bo plenty of room, There is too much reckless speeding by automobiles and motorcycles in and around Hershey, and Squire. Cassady is going to put a stop to it- He asks the Hershey Press to print the following with the assurance that this kind of law-breaking is going to be st opped: "To Motorists and Motorcyclists: "All persons exceeding the state speed limit of 15 miles per hour through Hershey and Derry Church will be dealt with according to law. This will be enforced . "E. B. CASSADY, "Justice of the Peace." This is fair warning and the speed mani-acs would better keep away or be prepared to pay well for their folly. AL KRAFT TO LEAVE There is general regret that Al Kraft's new work takes him from' Hershey. He will go to Allentown to direct the construc-tion of a large apartment house. However, as he is still associated with Mr. Wicke:- sham it is probable that he will return to Hershey later. Ee and his family are very popular here. HARRISBURG TROLLEY STRIKE Harris barg has had a real trolley strike with a tie up of the lines and with con-siderable disorder. It has worked very serious inconvenience on the public and has been expensive to sereral Hersheyites who arrived in that town on trains too . late for the last Reading connection. The Hershey Transit lines have not been af-fected except in the traffic they received • from the Harrisburg line at Hummels-town. HERSHEY IN THE PAPERS Newspapers during the past week de-voted, much attention to Hershey. The Harrisburg Patriot had an excellent illus-trated account of the Hershey Industrial School and the papers of Harrisburg and Reading devoted large space to the store picnics with illustrations that extended across two pages. All ojf/the papers spoke highly of Hershey^ti' oWthe beauty and ; rneajs of Hershey Park. SCHOOL BOARD'S REPORT The Derry Township Board's financial statement is printed in full today in the Hershey Press. It • shows resources of $126,406.59 and running expenses of $29,973.09, for which the taxes collected yielded $13,963.52 and the state appro-priation, $3,374.76. The indebtedness was reduced $2,500 during the year. The board .elected Miss Dora Dise, of York, to fill the vacancy in the second grade. Miss Dise is a graduate of Millersville and has had four years experience. PETTY THIEVES ABOUT The many strangers in Hershey this month have given opportunities to petty thieves who have stolen money, jewelry, shoes and clothing. | MOTOR SPEEDERS, BEWARE 'Squire Cassad y Issues a Timely Warning MiiiiiiiiiuiuiinMitiiiittn iMiiioiMiiDiuLiiitM miiiiin lUMiiiiiiiLii atiiiiti itEit iinmMii iniiMitiuMiiiiiui mi limn iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini iiiiiiiiiiinii iiiiiimiiiuiiinii mil iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinii iiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin iiliiiniiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiii i This Big Stone Car Barn Will Be Turned Into a Model Garage Up to Over Thirty-Four Millions for the Fiscal Year Ended With June An Increase of Two Hundred and Fifty Per Cent Since Hershey Was Founded Here is one of the biggest food stories . in the history of the world told in three rows of figures: .1914, unmanufactured cocoa imported , $21,000,000. . ..: ' ' ' '¦ ' ' - . ' 1915, unmanufactured cocoa imported, $23,000,000. 1916,; unmanufactured cocoa imported, $34,000,000. . • ."¦ ¦ • ' ' The Government's fiscal year ends June 30 and these figures are for the fiscal years stated?ai Trie almost magical growth of the cocoa business is here seen. When Hershey was begun the imports were worth much less than ten million dollars; already they are three and a half times as much, and the increase goes on. • . . The fine thing about Hershey is that its wonderful prosperity has been built . out of new business and that its gain has been nobody's loss. Hershey was never so busy as it is today and it is using all the good labor and all the supplies it can get. It is in the market for more, especially for good labor. How. the Cocoa Conies In The cocoa movement to the port of New York so far this year has been heavy, 797,658 bags for the six months, as com-' pared with 764,192 in 1915 and 636,330 in 1914. Imports of African , according to the figures compiled by the Frank G, Alden Co., are the chief factor, totaling 235,784 bags, as against 113,007 for Sanchez, 121,013 for Bahia and 108,639 for Trini-dad. The cocoa arrivals at the port of New York from January 1 to June 30 follow : Bags. ,. 1916 1915.

AFRICAN GRADES 1915 . 1916. St. Thome . 8,129 35,780 Accra 135,691 200,004 COCOA IMPORTS MAKE BIG JUMP LAST SATURDAY, WITH THE FACTORY CLOSED HALF OF THE DAY, HERSHEY USED, 957, • 000 GALLONS OF WATER AND DURING THE WEEK THE USE IS THREE HUN- . '- *' DRED GALLONS PER CAPITA WHEREAS THE ' AVERAGE FOR OTHER TOWNS IS 100 GALLONS A'careful inquiry is being made into the .use of water in- Hershey. The supply should easily take care of three of four times the present population of the town, but the drain has been increasing at a rate which is beyond any normal demand and the inquiry is to find whether this is from waste "or leakage. To that encHhe follow-ing appointment was made: HERSHEY IMPROVEMENT CO.-' Hershey Water Company, This certifies that James J. Malone is an inspector, for the Hershey Im- . provemerit Company and Hershey Water Company and is authorized to examine all premises served by or supplied with water by either of these companies, the water connections thereof , the use made or waste of water. This inquiry is necessary because of the great increase in the use of water. Last Saturday, with a half holiday at the factory, Hershey used 957,000 gallons of water.' The daily average.per capita is now 300" gallons, whereas the daily average per capita for cities, and towns is only about 100 gallons, thus showing that the Hershey average is 200 per cent above normal. .• Whether, this excess is from waste or leakage or both will be determined by the inquiry and in the meanwhile the cordial cooperation of the people of the town is requested. Hershey's water supply is one of the best in the state. It is mountain water that comes from the Blue Ridge in the Manada Creek which is dammed north ¦ .7— . of Sand Beach. There it is filter.ejdthipugh a plant that cost over $100,000 arid, then it is pumped up to the' reservoirs on the summit of Highland Park. These reser-voirs have a capacity of 1,000,000 gallons. ' HERSHEYS' USE OF WATER IS 200 PER CENT ABOVE AVERA GE Great Interest Shown in ¦ the Pro-jected Trolley, Line. Much Space Devoted to it in the Papers of the Three Counties. One of the Probable Routes Papers of Lancaster, Lebanon and Dauphin counties continue^ to print ar-ticles about the projected trolley line between Manheim and Hershey. They re-port great interest in the matter and in-dicate that the people of the sections to be served will push the project through. Mr. Hershey . stated his position very clearly to the committee that waited on him. If they want the line and if they reach a proper agreement among them-selves and if they will see that the right of way is clear he will be very' glad to put his engineering force at work. Mr. Hershey's recent experience with the line to Jonestown has pretty well cured him of trying to benefit a section and then be . held up by extortionate prices for rights of way. In the Jones-town case, however, the would-be holders- . up oyer did it. The pity is that the few have, worked against the general good and a splendid section remains without transit facilities. The following is a sample of the aticles being printed about the Manheim pro-ject: "The proposed "route begins at a point on the Hershey and Elizabeth-town line and extends about two miles to the village of Bachmansville. From Bachmansville partly along public roads and partly through private lands, a dis-tance of threc miles, to Lawn. From Lawn along the C. & L. railroad on the south side ot Colebrook. From Colebrook to Mastersonville. A short distance south of Colebrook the line will pass "Stauff-er's gate," a distance of two miles from the park at Mount Gretna. "The line would pass the village of Mastersonville a short distance to the south and pass through private prop-erty, .by the Union Square Hotel and meet the public road at the Old Line store. From Old Line the road will follow the public road to Snavely's cross-roads, thence along the road to Naumanstown, from there along the road for a distance, thence through the farms of Landis Bachman and Geo. Weaver to the Manheim & Sporting Hill turnpike, entering the Borough on West High street. "This route will be presented to Mr. Hershey when he will have his engin-eer go over the ground. He will make suggestions for changes wherever he sees advantages, after which the plans Will be made. Following this the rights of way will be secured. "The people along the route are show-ing great interest in this proposed line. They realize what it will mean to them in the development of the northern section of Lancaster county."

The Harrisburg Patriot had an excellent illus-trated account of the Hershey Industrial School and the papers of Harrisburg and Reading devoted large space to the store picnics with illustrations that extended across two pages. All ojf/the papers spoke highly of Hershey^ti' oWthe beauty and ; rneajs of Hershey Park.

When Hershey was begun the imports were worth much less than ten million dollars; already they are three and a half times as much, and the increase goes on. • . . The fine thing about Hershey is that its wonderful prosperity has been built . out of new business and that its gain has been nobody's loss. Hershey was never so busy as it is today and it is using all the good labor and all the supplies it can get. It is in the market for more, especially for good labor. How. the Cocoa Conies In The cocoa movement to the port of New York so far this year has been heavy, 797,658 bags for the six months, as com-' pared with 764,192 in 1915 and 636,330 in 1914. Imports of African , according to the figures compiled by the Frank G, Alden Co., are the chief factor, totaling 235,784 bags, as against 113,007 for Sanchez, 121,013 for Bahia and 108,639 for Trini-dad.

AFRICAN GRADES 1915 . 1916. St. Thome . 8,129 35,780 Accra 135,691 200,004 COCOA IMPORTS MAKE BIG JUMP LAST SATURDAY, WITH THE FACTORY CLOSED HALF OF THE DAY, HERSHEY USED, 957, • 000 GALLONS OF WATER AND DURING THE WEEK THE USE IS THREE HUN- . '- *' DRED GALLONS PER CAPITA WHEREAS THE ' AVERAGE FOR OTHER TOWNS IS 100 GALLONS A'careful inquiry is being made into the .use of water in- Hershey. The supply should easily take care of three of four times the present population of the town, but the drain has been increasing at a rate which is beyond any normal demand and the inquiry is to find whether this is from waste "or leakage. To that encHhe follow-ing appointment was made: HERSHEY IMPROVEMENT CO.-' Hershey Water Company, This certifies that James J. Malone is an inspector, for the Hershey Im- . provemerit Company and Hershey Water Company and is authorized to examine all premises served by or supplied with water by either of these companies, the water connections thereof , the use made or waste of water. This inquiry is necessary because of the great increase in the use of water. Last Saturday, with a half holiday at the factory, Hershey used 957,000 gallons of water.' The daily average.per capita is now 300" gallons, whereas the daily average per capita for cities, and towns is only about 100 gallons, thus showing that the Hershey average is 200 per cent above normal. .• Whether, this excess is from waste or leakage or both will be determined by the inquiry and in the meanwhile the cordial cooperation of the people of the town is requested. Hershey's water supply is one of the best in the state. It is mountain water that comes from the Blue Ridge in the Manada Creek which is dammed north ¦ .7— . of Sand Beach. There it is filter.ejdthipugh a plant that cost over $100,000 arid, then it is pumped up to the' reservoirs on the summit of Highland Park. These reser-voirs have a capacity of 1,000,000 gallons. ' HERSHEYS' USE OF WATER IS 200 PER CENT ABOVE AVERA GE Great Interest Shown in ¦ the Pro-jected Trolley, Line. Much Space Devoted to it in the Papers of the Three Counties. One of the Probable Routes Papers of Lancaster, Lebanon and Dauphin counties continue^ to print ar-ticles about the projected trolley line between Manheim and Hershey. They re-port great interest in the matter and in-dicate that the people of the sections to be served will push the project through. Mr. Hershey . stated his position very clearly to the committee that waited on him. If they want the line and if they reach a proper agreement among them-selves and if they will see that the right of way is clear he will be very' glad to put his engineering force at work. Mr. Hershey's recent experience with the line to Jonestown has pretty well cured him of trying to benefit a section and then be . held up by extortionate prices for rights of way. In the Jones-town case, however, the would-be holders- . up oyer did it. The pity is that the few have, worked against the general good and a splendid section remains without transit facilities. The following is a sample of the aticles being printed about the Manheim pro-ject: "The proposed "route begins at a point on the Hershey and Elizabeth-town line and extends about two miles to the village of Bachmansville. From Bachmansville partly along public roads and partly through private lands, a dis-tance of threc miles, to Lawn. From Lawn along the C. & L. railroad on the south side ot Colebrook. From Colebrook to Mastersonville. A short distance south of Colebrook the line will pass "Stauff-er's gate," a distance of two miles from the park at Mount Gretna. "The line would pass the village of Mastersonville a short distance to the south and pass through private prop-erty, .by the Union Square Hotel and meet the public road at the Old Line store. From Old Line the road will follow the public road to Snavely's cross-roads, thence along the road to Naumanstown, from there along the road for a distance, thence through the farms of Landis Bachman and Geo. Weaver to the Manheim & Sporting Hill turnpike, entering the Borough on West High street. "This route will be presented to Mr. Hershey when he will have his engin-eer go over the ground. He will make suggestions for changes wherever he sees advantages, after which the plans Will be made. Following this the rights of way will be secured. "The people along the route are show-ing great interest in this proposed line. They realize what it will mean to them in the development of the northern section of Lancaster county."
