Hershey Department Store Will In-stitute New Plan Friday February 1st "Cash and Carry equals Thrift. " This motto that the Hershey Departmeht Store has adopted in its grocery depart-ment is the first and strongest effort that every housekeeper in "this section can make towards reducing their living cost. The price of the goods on a cash basis is the big argument to answer the question as to whether the consumer will profit by the withdrawal of free delivery service. To carry your purchases will be the out-ward manifestation that your desire to serve and save is real. To serve our country and save your means so as to be in a position to invest in Thrift Stamps or other ways of help-ing to finance the war for humanity is the one thought of the Hershey Department Store management in instituting this plan sgflSg groceries. Regular schedule of delivery for the Hershey Dept. Store, beginning Friday, February 1st: Hershey, Derry Church and Spring Creek, daily at 9.30, 1.30 and 4.30. Monday, Wednesday and Satur-day, Hummelstown, a. m., Palmyra, p. m. South of Hershey to State road, Tues-day. North of Hershey, to Jonestown road, Thursday. PERSEVERANCE WINS R. H. Hull, our efficient electrician, is also a chicken fancier." He had told his friend, Squire Miller, that he was going to develop a strain of chickens that would lay. So he started in and bought himself about 25 or 30 chickens early last Fall. This winter Mr. Hull's duties mainly consisted of going out- to the hen coop with a bucket filled with food, and a bas-ket for the reward of his endeavors. But he always cameback with the bucket empty anl the basket also unfilled. This pastime he continued for quite a number of months. Although he worked hard shoveling the snow so that he could get to the coop tor feed the chickens and gather the fruit, the chickens only looked on. However, this week one of the chickens took pity on him and laid an egg. So overjoyed "was Mr. Hull that he brought it to work with him and showed it to his friend, Squire Miller. But the Squire has his doubts, and has his worthy officer Ralph Fiore working on the case. THE NEW GARAGE George W. Stout, of Hamilton, Can-ada, has charge of the new Garage, on Chocolate Avenue. Mr. Stout was form-erly connected with the Studebaker Cor-poration. The Garage, which was re-constructed from the Hershey Transit Company's carbarn, is one of the finest in the state. Will easily house 50 cars. FEBRUARY FURNITURE SALE The February Furniture Sale at the Hershey Department Store began on Fri-day, February 1st. Mr. Harry Clark, who has charge of this department, has made a large number of attractive bar-gains in the furniture line. It will pay you to make a visit to this interesting department. To Withdraw Fre e Deliver y Service Burden of Responsibility Up to You Single Persons With $1,000 Salary Hit; Married With $2,000 S. B. Kreider of Lebanon and S. P. Bacastow, of Hershey, are the deputy collectors of income tax of this district, and are stationed at the Hershey post-office this week and next week, where they will be glad to assist in the preparation of income tax returns. Taxpayers should apply at this of-fice at once, the officials stated yesterday as there is every probability that many will defer filling out the returns until the last few days and as the facilities here are limited, such persons would then run the risk of not being able to meet the re-quirements of the law. The burden of filling out the tax returns rests with the indivudual, and the law provides severe penalties for failure to comply with its provisions. Persons who are single are subject to the law, if they receive an income of §1,000 in 1917, and married persons must make a return if their income amounted to $2,000 last year. The deputy collectors have a number of return blanks on hand, which will care for persons whose income did not exceed $3,000 in. 1917. While blanks for larger incomes are expected daily, it has been learned that the Lancaster office is mailing these blanks to those listed in the Lancas-ter office as having paid on that basis previously. The following statement was received from the Internal Revenue Collector for this district: "Income taxpayers are informed that returns must be made on or before March 1, 1918, and while it is their right to post-pone payment' of the tax until June 15, Collector B. F. Davis, of the Ninth Dis-trict, Lancaster, is urging taxpayers as a matter of patriotism to make payment at the time of filing the return, on or be-fore March 1, 1918. "The Government will appreciate the prompt payment of taxes if the taxpayer is able to make such payment without undue inconvenience to himself. Money will win this war. And the need of it is constant and urgent for the proper equip-ment and care of our boys now in France or soon to be there. "A similar request by Collector Davis last year met with a prompt , and large response. "The public is informed that a discount at the rate of three per cent'per annum will be allowed oh all payments of in-come tax made in advance or at the time of filing the return. TO NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC READERS The National Geographic Magazine bound in book form, makes a handsome volume, and is a fine addition for the library shelves. Our bindery facilities are such that we can bind these magazines for you. In fact , Tve have "bound these magazines for several Hershey people, and our work has been highly satisfactory. We have four volumes' now being bound. If possible to secure additional volumes, the price of binding would be cheaper for all. Phone us and we will send for them. You won't be sorry. 30 Days to File Income Returns J. B. Leithiser Receives Letter From Niece In the Hospital Service In France Base Hospital No. 15 , "Somewhere in France." December 19th, 1917. My dear Uncle Jim: Intended to write you many times but there is so little I can say after all. We are starting our sixth month over here, and are not acclimated by.any means. The Fall was .bne of the most beautiful seasons I have ever spent and when you stood on a bluff overlooking a beautiful valley you almost forgot for the time being that you were almost in the midst, as it were, of the most terrible war in history. It rains here from November until April and the air is cold and pene-trating. We are fairly comfortably situated; of course, things are very different from what they were in times of peace. Our build-ings are of stone, two stories high, built in a square, and surrounded by a high stone wall. In the hospitals we have ten wards to a floor and sixteen patients in a war. At first we had all French patients and they were very interesting. When we. admitted usually fti the early morning we were greatly impressed. Usually these men were on the train all night (military trains travel very slowly) which only ad-ded to their discomfort.. Most of them are carried in on stretchers but it is a pathetic sight to see the ones that are able to walk. Many of them are blind tem-porarily from the gas. , The areoplanes have been scouting all day. They evidently scent danger of some kind, every now and then we are notified that so many German areoplanes have crossed the border. They can't miss us if they get this far because we have huge crosses on the roofs. I'll en-close a piece of the outside covering (black) and the inner lining (yellow) of gas bag of the Zepplin that was brought down intact near here. It was a machine of the latest type and worth a million dollars,. I've been told. • . There are a great many Americans here. A number are in the wards not suffering from wounds but mostly from the effects of the climate. Some of the American boys are in the trenches and, alas, some have been taken prisoners, but of'course, we must expect that. The outlook is rather, discouraging at present and the air "is not permeated with optimism. Russia is not dependable— and the loss has been heavy in Italy and now war is declared on Austria. We have just had six days without rain, and we all feel much better;.the rain just chills you to the bone. Hope you are well and this letter will reach you in time to wish you a Happy New Year. With best wishes; I am, Very Sincerely, LULU M. MYERS. NOTICE All dogs unlicensed after February 1st, will be killed according to the law. Seventy-five licenses have been taken out in this township. There are 180 dogs assessed. Licenses can be obtained from Squire H. I. Miller, 42 Areba Street.
