His theme will be, "What Makes Men." It is an address, that has a wide-appeal to all men and women, and no one should miss it. Thousands have crowded large halls at high admission prices to hear the same address and have been enthralled by it. In Hershey there's no admission charge—not even a collection is taken up. ; •."• It is Mr. Hershey's idea - to make Hershey the community • center of what is best in oratory and good preaching. Nothing- reaches further or- does more good than a fine address along lines inciting the hearers to higher effort and better living.

Two Sundays ago Bishop Kephart was brought from the West and he gave an address that gripped a crowded house. Rev. Dr. Jacobs comes from Philadelphia and he will delight, all who hear him. . The services begin at 3. There is a program of music that takes about 20 minutes. Those arriving on the car from Elizabethtown at 3.15 will be in time for the address. Even those com-ing on the 3.30 cars will get most of the address. It is desirable of course that all be on time, but being a little late need not shut one out from the advantages of the services. They are intended for all and all are invited. Next Sunday there will be visitors from all parts of Lebanon Valley. Those who have heard Dr. Jabobs once will go miles to hear him afterwards. These services are under the Men's Club, James Millard, president ; J. M. Brandau, manager. In charge of the program Sunday will be Rev. John Irwin Meek, assisted by leading Lutheran ministers of the towns and cities of the Valley.

Wednesday, December 18, "The Love Girl," with Ella Hall, a Blue Bird Photo play filled with thrills and heart interest.

AN OLD VOTER Uncle Jacob Gaus oi Hummelstown read in the Hummelstown Sun a couple of weeks ago about several men now living who voted for Lincoln in 1860.

ACCIDENT TO JOHN CORL Jolin Corl, electrician; while engaged in tho I-Icrnliey Press building Monday mot with a painfu l accident when a screw-driver slipped causing a deep wound in tho fleshy pail of his hand. BOYS ALL WELL D0INGFINE WORK Never Was the Hershey Industrial School Such a Busy Place As I t . Is Today ; Some of The , Practical ,-Things That • Have Been Tried Out Nothing gave Mr. : Hershey more pleasure on his return from Cuba last week than the report that in spite of epidemics, peculiar to children, in the Lebanon Valley, all the sixty youngsters of the Hershey Industrial School were well and happy arid the school had a perfect health record. In fact, the school never was so busy and interesting, as it is today and the boys are attacking new problems with eagerness and enjoyment. Following is the statement of Superintendent Copen-haver to the Board of Managers: During the last month we have begun on our regular winter program in all the departments of school work. In our academic work the regular order has been followed with this exception, the boys in the higher grade are not only taking the regular course in anthmetic, but are devoting a great deal of work on such practical problems which are embraced in the following subjects— Poultry Problems, Idleness, Carelessness, Waste of Machinery, Fungicides and Scalecides for Spraying and their Re-sults, the Value of Birds to Farmers, Lumber Measure in Boards and Logs, Specific Gravity. .We have one of the practical courses on these topics and it is remarkable how interesed the boys be-come in the work. For instance, they have found that the average farm hen lays 80 eggs per year but by raising nests and breeding only from the best layers an average of 135 eggs per year can readily be produced arid that on a flock of 75 hens, when eggs are worth the average price of last year, the use of trap nests paid $103.20; consequently, the boys are now putting trap nests in our poultry house. They also find that every capon is worth about 40c more than a rooster and next spring there are to be hundreds of capons here. Under "Value of Birds" they found that each quail is worth $1.75 per year to the farmer and that the birds of Penn-sylvania earn an average of 65c per acre by destroying weed seeds and that in this section weeds are hard to pull so you can see that no birds or nests will be destroyed here. We experience no difficulty in having the boys prepare their lessons. In the mechanical department we have made and now are working on trap nests, lockers for clothes, games, small tables and poultry feeders. We intend to make feeders for the hog houses, colony houses for chickens, ducks, guineas and turkeys, which we wish to raise next year. We should like to get eggs for hatching from some good breeds Of poultry as this department has done well with us and I am quite convinced that if the same amount of money were in-vested in a poultry unit as invested in a grade dairy, the returns would be much more satisfactory. I know that the small investment in our poultry here gives a better account of itself than the dairies do. With epidemics constantly around us we have been very fortunate in not hav-ing any sickness here, Our boys are quite healthy and happy . * I have arranged to have men come here each Sunday and speak to the boys, Most of these men are laymen and all men from near by, so there will be no charges. Every fourth Friday night we have illustrated talks on some historical , geographical or religious sub-ject. The first and third Friday of each month the boys draw during tho afternoon ; the second Friday wo have recitations, essays,, compositions, etc., and the last Friday is letter writing day when every boy writes to his mother or nearest relative or friend, Wo usually send the boy's report homo with his letter so the mother can see what he is doing in school work. The boys had a great time Thanks-giving Day. This was their program: Recitation— "Tho First Thanksgiving, " Nelson Wagner; recitation— "A Pump-kin ," Arthur "Whlleman; recitation— "A Thanksgiving Dream ," David Schaf-fner; song—-"TlmnksglvlnR Day, " kinder-garten; recitation— "A Thanksgiving Anticipation ," Clifton Zlcgenhelm; dia-logue—-" Ton Little Pumpkins ," kinder-garten; recitation— "Thanksgiving Day," Teddy Moore; song—"Jack Front ," pri-mary; recitation— "Thanksgiving, " Guy Weber; recitation— "A Thanksgiving Visit ," Russell Ileiigey; song—"Thanks-giving;, " Main School ; rccllatlon— "When the Frost is on the Pumpkin ," Lewis Kilhofer; song-"Pumpkin Plo," Primary; MovinK Pictures. LOVELY FLOWERS Ono of the rnost attractive places in I-Iurnhey at tho present time is tho green-house ut tho Mansion grounds, Many large chrysanthemums arc in bloom, FIRE COMPANY TEN YEARS OLD And It Will Celebrate the Event by a Banquet That Will be One of the Finest Things Hershey Has Ever Had. Commit-tee To Raise Funds At the regular monthly meeting of the Hershey Volunteer Fire Company, held Tuesday evening, it was suggested that the tenth anniversary of the organ-ization, which falls on February 18, 1917, be celebrated' in a fitting manner, and in accordance with the Hershey spirit on such occasions, this means a feast. • , '' .' . So, a popular committee was appointed by President William Brinker to arrange for a moving picture show with amateur vaudeville as a side issue to be held in the Central Theatre some time in the latter part of January, 1917, to help defray the expense of giving its members an anniversary banquet. The funds of the Fire Company were increased by the recent fair held in the new Press Building in the early spring, but the buy-ing of new uniforms and apparatus necessary for fighting fires have reduced the moneys on hand. It was deemed best to raise special funds by an enter-tainment to enable the Company to hold the proposed banquet in honor of its ten years of very active service in Hershey and surrounding towns. Further information regarding the entertainment will appear in this paper from time to time; The committee is as follows, all hustlers, who will make the entertainment a success: Jas. F. Murray, chairman, John Shay, Jas. K. Putt, Herbert Scheers, George Schroll, John Daniels, Maurice Hinkle, A. T. Heilmar. " The. committee will meet in the Bureau at the Central Theatre Building, tonight at 7:30. ALL VICTORIES The Harrisburg Independents have thus far been in a class by themselves, unbeatable. Seven contests have been played this season, one abroad and six at home and all have resulted in victories. Several of the games were by the narrowest margins and some went into extra periods. The Harrisburg boys, however, have always been able to deliver the telling punch. Their games during the past week included the Philadelphia Garnets, Thanksgiving evening, in which they were victorious by the score of 33 to 27, and on Saturday evening a team made up of Eastern League players, including the veteran*- Harry Hough, were beaten in the hottest game of the season, 36 to 32. Both games attracted crowds, including many from Hershey, Palmyra and Hum-melstown. A great attraction is booked for this coming Saturday evening. A NARROW ESCAPE An automobilist was arrested in Hershey Saturday evening for reckless driving through Campbelltown which nearly cost Mrs. U. G. Risser of that place her life. She was waiting' for the Hershey car directly in front of her home. As the trolley approached an automobile came speeding by at a high rate of speed and Mrs. Risser was forced to jump In front of the moving trolley car to avoid being struck. The motorman had the car under control and the car was stopped in the nick of time. MR. KIEFFER'S PROMOTION Dcwalt Kieffer , a son of Mr. and Mrs. H. T.

Is Today ; Some of The , Practical ,-Things That • Have Been Tried Out Nothing gave Mr. : Hershey more pleasure on his return from Cuba last week than the report that in spite of epidemics, peculiar to children, in the Lebanon Valley, all the sixty youngsters of the Hershey Industrial School were well and happy arid the school had a perfect health record. In fact, the school never was so busy and interesting, as it is today and the boys are attacking new problems with eagerness and enjoyment. Following is the statement of Superintendent Copen-haver to the Board of Managers: During the last month we have begun on our regular winter program in all the departments of school work. In our academic work the regular order has been followed with this exception, the boys in the higher grade are not only taking the regular course in anthmetic, but are devoting a great deal of work on such practical problems which are embraced in the following subjects— Poultry Problems, Idleness, Carelessness, Waste of Machinery, Fungicides and Scalecides for Spraying and their Re-sults, the Value of Birds to Farmers, Lumber Measure in Boards and Logs, Specific Gravity. .We have one of the practical courses on these topics and it is remarkable how interesed the boys be-come in the work. For instance, they have found that the average farm hen lays 80 eggs per year but by raising nests and breeding only from the best layers an average of 135 eggs per year can readily be produced arid that on a flock of 75 hens, when eggs are worth the average price of last year, the use of trap nests paid $103.20; consequently, the boys are now putting trap nests in our poultry house. They also find that every capon is worth about 40c more than a rooster and next spring there are to be hundreds of capons here. Under "Value of Birds" they found that each quail is worth $1.75 per year to the farmer and that the birds of Penn-sylvania earn an average of 65c per acre by destroying weed seeds and that in this section weeds are hard to pull so you can see that no birds or nests will be destroyed here. We experience no difficulty in having the boys prepare their lessons. In the mechanical department we have made and now are working on trap nests, lockers for clothes, games, small tables and poultry feeders. We intend to make feeders for the hog houses, colony houses for chickens, ducks, guineas and turkeys, which we wish to raise next year. We should like to get eggs for hatching from some good breeds Of poultry as this department has done well with us and I am quite convinced that if the same amount of money were in-vested in a poultry unit as invested in a grade dairy, the returns would be much more satisfactory. I know that the small investment in our poultry here gives a better account of itself than the dairies do. With epidemics constantly around us we have been very fortunate in not hav-ing any sickness here, Our boys are quite healthy and happy . * I have arranged to have men come here each Sunday and speak to the boys, Most of these men are laymen and all men from near by, so there will be no charges. Every fourth Friday night we have illustrated talks on some historical , geographical or religious sub-ject. The first and third Friday of each month the boys draw during tho afternoon ; the second Friday wo have recitations, essays,, compositions, etc., and the last Friday is letter writing day when every boy writes to his mother or nearest relative or friend, Wo usually send the boy's report homo with his letter so the mother can see what he is doing in school work. The boys had a great time Thanks-giving Day. This was their program: Recitation— "Tho First Thanksgiving, " Nelson Wagner; recitation— "A Pump-kin ," Arthur "Whlleman; recitation— "A Thanksgiving Dream ," David Schaf-fner; song—-"TlmnksglvlnR Day, " kinder-garten; recitation— "A Thanksgiving Anticipation ," Clifton Zlcgenhelm; dia-logue—-" Ton Little Pumpkins ," kinder-garten; recitation— "Thanksgiving Day," Teddy Moore; song—"Jack Front ," pri-mary; recitation— "Thanksgiving, " Guy Weber; recitation— "A Thanksgiving Visit ," Russell Ileiigey; song—"Thanks-giving;, " Main School ; rccllatlon— "When the Frost is on the Pumpkin ," Lewis Kilhofer; song-"Pumpkin Plo," Primary; MovinK Pictures.

Commit-tee To Raise Funds At the regular monthly meeting of the Hershey Volunteer Fire Company, held Tuesday evening, it was suggested that the tenth anniversary of the organ-ization, which falls on February 18, 1917, be celebrated' in a fitting manner, and in accordance with the Hershey spirit on such occasions, this means a feast. • , '' .' . So, a popular committee was appointed by President William Brinker to arrange for a moving picture show with amateur vaudeville as a side issue to be held in the Central Theatre some time in the latter part of January, 1917, to help defray the expense of giving its members an anniversary banquet. The funds of the Fire Company were increased by the recent fair held in the new Press Building in the early spring, but the buy-ing of new uniforms and apparatus necessary for fighting fires have reduced the moneys on hand. It was deemed best to raise special funds by an enter-tainment to enable the Company to hold the proposed banquet in honor of its ten years of very active service in Hershey and surrounding towns. Further information regarding the entertainment will appear in this paper from time to time; The committee is as follows, all hustlers, who will make the entertainment a success: Jas. F. Murray, chairman, John Shay, Jas. K. Putt, Herbert Scheers, George Schroll, John Daniels, Maurice Hinkle, A. T. Heilmar. " The. committee will meet in the Bureau at the Central Theatre Building, tonight at 7:30. ALL VICTORIES The Harrisburg Independents have thus far been in a class by themselves, unbeatable. Seven contests have been played this season, one abroad and six at home and all have resulted in victories. Several of the games were by the narrowest margins and some went into extra periods. The Harrisburg boys, however, have always been able to deliver the telling punch. Their games during the past week included the Philadelphia Garnets, Thanksgiving evening, in which they were victorious by the score of 33 to 27, and on Saturday evening a team made up of Eastern League players, including the veteran*- Harry Hough, were beaten in the hottest game of the season, 36 to 32. Both games attracted crowds, including many from Hershey, Palmyra and Hum-melstown. A great attraction is booked for this coming Saturday evening. A NARROW ESCAPE An automobilist was arrested in Hershey Saturday evening for reckless driving through Campbelltown which nearly cost Mrs. U. G. Risser of that place her life. She was waiting' for the Hershey car directly in front of her home. As the trolley approached an automobile came speeding by at a high rate of speed and Mrs. Risser was forced to jump In front of the moving trolley car to avoid being struck. The motorman had the car under control and the car was stopped in the nick of time. MR. KIEFFER'S PROMOTION Dcwalt Kieffer , a son of Mr. and Mrs. H. T.
