              COME TO HERSHEY
NEXT SUNDAY
You Will Hear a Wonderful Address
by One of the Most Eloquent
Men of the Lutheran Church .
Rev. Dr. Jacobs the Speak-er.
The Men 's Club
Rev. Dn Charles M. Jacobs, -one of
the most brilliant orators of the Lutheran
Church in America, will be the speaker at
at the Union Services at Hershey Central
Theatre next Sunday afternoon at 3
o'clock. 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. The union services are
intended to serve that "influence by
bringing here the best speakers obtain-able.
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.
MOVING PICTURE PROGRAM
Saturday, December 14, "The Alibi,"
with Betty Howeand James Morrison,
a great love story and one of the Vita-graph
features.
Wednesday, December 18, "The Love
Girl," with Ella Hall, a Blue Bird Photo
play filled with thrills and heart interest.
Large audiences continue at the movies
and the policy of presenting the high-priced
reels has won out. You can al-ways
be sure of seeing a good show when
you go to the Hershey Central Theatre. .
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.
Uncle Jake says he can go them one
better—he voted for James Buchanan
in 1856, and is still voting every year.
PLAY NEXT WEEK
Next Tuesday evening "The Professor"
will be given at the Hershey Central
Theatre and the performance will bo
one of the most entertaining of the
year, Everybody in Hershey should
be present.

the new Hershey Press building has
been attractively remodeled for a dancing
parlor. The new room will have its
first dance next Thursday evening, De-cember

HERSHEY AFTER
MORE PRIZES
Last Year It Led the World in the
Sale of Red. Cross Stamps And
This Year It May Beat Its
Own Record . Interes t "
Seeing the Town First
Last year Hershey set the record in
the number of Red Cross seals sold per
capita. The result was that it was
presented with two satin banners, one
from the national organization and one
from the State society; These banners
are among its treasured trophies today.
Now, there is a general desire that
Hershey should keep what it captured,
so the committee at Harrisburg has
enlisted Ezra F. Hershey and the old
committee and the work is in full swing.
If you can go anywhere in Hershey
without being asked to buy Red Cross
stamps you probably have to get into
the big vault at the Trust Company and
lock yourself in. ' ;;-
The work is well ""organized and the
delightful fact about it is that while no
one gets anything -^>r the work all are
toiling overtime for - the pride and repu-tation
of the town. A few prizes will
be offered to the^ school children doing
the best work but all1 the work is voluntary
and everyone is a helper. The following
is the Red Cross Seal Committee: Ezra
F. Hershey, chairman; A. W. Snavely,
treasurer ; William F. R. Murrie, John E.
Snyder, Lawrence Edwards, George R.

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;

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.

From Harrisburg , Many
Star Plays . Have Out -
look for Fine Season
The Hershey Men's Club raised the
curtain on the 1916-17 basketball season
last Friday evening on the gym floor
with a decisive and clean cut victory
over the Ohla Five of Harrisburg. The
final count was 47 to 13. The local
five played in fine form and their passing
and shooting was of mid season style.
All of the players took a hand in the
scoring and registered no less than two
field goals each. Harry Wirth, the
clever forward of the Hershey team, was
the star of the contest. He played a
whirlwind floor game and dropped the ¦
ball through the net for eight dual point-ers.
Zimmerman played well at center
and scored three goals and seven fouls.
Allen and Leibfried divided the game,
Allen playing the first period and Leib-fried
the last. Both were very much in
evidence. Foster and Shaffer played at
the guard positions and formed a strong
combination on the defense. The Her-shey
team has splendid material and ai
strong five should be developed. For
the visitors, Flick, at center, played a
fast game and tallied three two-pointers.
Many strong attractions are being
booked and Manager Allen announces
the following schedule for the balance of
the month.—December 5, Galahad of
Harrisburg ; 15, Golde, of Lancaster;
