Butter-wick, the new pastor of the First United Brethren church, Monday evening not only brought out . an unusually fine at-tendance but developed more strongly than ever the spirit of unity and cooper-ation in church work in and around Hershey. The idea became the theme of the evening's speeches and there was a notable expression of friendliness , and zeal. " „ ' '• ' The social part of the program was very delightful . James Millard assisted by a large committee greeted the guests and made the presentations. .

Howell; piano solo, Miss Mary Painter, song, Miss Dise. Chairmarr-Mmard sounded the note of unity and cooperation and this was at once emphasized by H. A. Newton who delivered the welcome of the church ,to to Dr. Butterwick. Mr. Newton stated that in Hershey's population of 1,700 only 400 were church members or regu-lar attendants at church. He said this showed the field and the duty of the churches to work together to reach these who were without . church affiliations. He called upon the members to support their pastor also upon the women to make Mrs. Butterwick feel at home in Hershey and to aid her in work that will advance her huspand's ministry. Rev. R. H. Taylor, pastor of Derry Presbyterian Church, in an earnest address, said one of the reasons he ac-cepted the charge here was that he could work in cooperation with other churches and their ministers. He be-lieved the largest results could be secured in this manner and he knew that the Opportunities . were large arid ready. He pledged himself to every effort to work in harmony with Dr. Butterwick and others and he believed the time was ripe for good work. Rev. John I. Meek, pastor of the Evan-gelical Lutheran Church of Hershey, arrived late because of another engage-ment, and in the meanwhile Dr. H. G. Mumma, superintendent of the Luth-eran Sunday School, made a forceful speech advocating unity and cooperation and telling of the broad and deep meaning of the anniversary of the Reformation, He emphasized cooperation as the prin-ciple upon which the churches of Hershey must work. This was also done by S, P. Bacastow who spoke for the laymen of Derry Church. Rev. Meek took up the theme and drove it home by one of the best speeches of the evening. He pledged himself to go as far as anyone in unity of effort in Hershey. There are are problems to be solved here, he said, and people to be reached, There are homes that are without religious in-fluence and good people who must be brought into the churches. This wan the time to go earnestly into the, work and he was ready and willing to work •with Dr, Butterwick and Rev. Mr, Taylor. L. R, Mcekins expressed the welcome of the town. Rev.'Dr. Butterwick made an eloquent reply to nil the greetings, Hershey was old ground to him. He knew it when it was nn abandoned quarry, a corn field and a dangerous railroad crossing. He carnc this way often In Bcarch of his bride who lived about two miles north of Hershey, He served the Palmyra church. So ' coming to Hershey wan coming home, He was very proud of the welcome ho had re-ceived and it would bo an Incentive to him to do his best'for the people and for the church. He fully appreciated the fine spiri t of his fellow ministers, He believed not only In church unity but in church, union, ObviouHly it was not the place to discuss church union , but ho would be glad to debate the question oleswhcro. To him the un-necessary .duplication of churches and division of forces was wrong, But let that pass for the time. The duty now Is for the ministers and churches of Hershey to work together to bring the people into ndlye and practica l religious interest. Ho promised to do this best unci the sentiments and greetings of the people and of the other ministers were In-spiring to him.

People of Hershey Simon J. Eby died at the residence of his daughter, ¦ Mrs. Frank B. Snavely, Hummelstown, Sunday evening, October 29. His death was painless. He went to his long rest like a child falling to sleep. This was in keeping with the gentle spirit of his happy life. He was 85 years old. In Hershey the news of Mr. Eby's death was received with universal; regret. For years he was a popular figure in the towri. He made his home ' witn his daughter while Mr. and Mrs. Snavely occupied their home in East Hershey. After he passed his eightieth birthday he daily walked five miles or more. One day two years ago he stopped at the Hershey Press office after a walk of ten miles and smilingly declared he believed he could . double the distance without weariness. In all 'sorts of weather he took his walks and he was a fine example of fresh air, regular exercise and optimism. He was always cheerful , and always had a good word for everyone. In the much-prized list of the Hershey Press visitors none was more welcome than he, and his reminiscences have been much enjoyed by the readers of this paper. For many years Mr. Eby was a prom-inent farmer in Lancaster county. Later he was associated with H: S. Stauffer in the hardware business at Mt. Joy. He married Catherine Sener Lintner, daugh-ter of Christian Lintner • of Lancaster township. He is survived by the fol-lowing children : Christian, of Lemoyne Mrs. Frank Barr Snavely, of Hummels-town, and Clayton S. of Lancaster. Mr. Eby retired twelve years ago.. He lived with his daughter in Hershey and when Mr. and Mrs; Snavely moved to Gro-More farms near Hummelstown he went with them. The funeral services took place at the Snavely home Tuesday evening and the burial was at Mount Joy yesterday morning. At both places many friends attended .

"Remember boys," he said in his fatherly way, "each one blindfolded will have three strikes at the bag' and the one who knocks it down gets the candy. Now, remember, the boy who knocks it down gets the candy." In the semicircle sat sixty boys bent forward in tense attention. The first boy hit the air ; he did not come within a yard of the bag. . "Whoopee" came in a joyous chorus. The second boy missed first time, but the second time the stick hit the bag squarely in the neck and the precious contents fell. As though raised and thrown forward by a sudden earthquake the sixty boys projected themselves into the middle of that floor. They did not run or jump; they simply rose in the air and came down on one another. In the squirming mass were 120 arms, 120 legs, 60 heads and other members of 60 bodies in one grand, indescribable mixup, while 60 voices joined in screams and shouts, while Father Copenhaver and other adults -tried to pull out a few of the legs and arms. . It was the. funniest thing you ever saw, but it looked as though there would be enough victims to fill a hospital. Of course, nobody was hurt. Those boys are so healthy and vital that nothing bothers them. And did the boy who knocked down the candy get it? He did—he got just one little piece. This was only one of. the many stunts of Hallowe'en at the school. It was a great evening, with games galore and with happiness beyond all reporting. It made one young again to just look on. With red tapers the sixty boys, teach-ers and the half dozen invited guests did a walk-around in the yard and marched across field to the wonderful bonfire which the boys had spent more than a week in accumulating—a big mass of sunflower stalks and other debris more than 30 feet high, and when they set it on fire the glare could be seen for many miles throughout the Lebanon Valley. After an hour of open air sport in the light of this bonfire all filed back to the big room and there enjoyed peanuts, doughnuts, popcorn, apples and other good things. L, R. Meekins told of Hallowe'en and the ghosts he had seen and the fairi es. "Do you believe in fairies?" he asked. "Yes," came in a chorus, and surely there must be a lot of fairies to take such good care of these rosy-cheeked fellows, Mr. Copenhaver made a happy speech and as each little regiment marched to quarters they shouted their good nights. The watch offered for the best essay went to John D. Greif and his essay will be printed in the Hershey Press next week. The boys said their only regret was that Mr. M. S. Hershey could not have been present to enjoy the night with them . . MR. MCLEAN 'S ADDRESS More Than a Hundred Fa rmers and Dairymen Present Over a hundred farmers and dairymen and a number of prominent citizens of Hershey heard the addresses of Pro-fessor J. A. McLean and Superin-tendent Signer at the Hershey Central Theater Friday night. It was a very successful meeting and it carried forward the intercut that the new superintendent has aroused in tho discussion of practical problems affecting the better farming In the Lebanon Valley, Professor McLean spoke for more than an hour and gave many useful suggestions gained from his long ex-perience and his expert knowledge and and he was warmly greeted both before and after his talk. Mr. Signor added a very Interesting and practical address on the methods hp had found effective and it was in his best vein, He is getting in close touch with tho farmers and tho dairymen, Two weeks hence ho will have one of tho experts from tho Pcnn State College. Thctio meetings will bo held throughout the , winter and Mr. Signer's policy in inviting a broader presentation of modern farming Is find-ing general favor. MRS, WILLIAMS RETURNS Mrs. J, Williams has returned to Philadelphia after upending the fall season in Ilorshay; Mrs. Williams was tho designer at tho Hershey Store «nd had a very successful Benson, SCEN E OF BEAUTY WAS MEN'S CLU B Joint Celebration of Hallowe 'en the JoIIiest Party Ever Given-in Town Costumes ' Unusually Attrac- . tive. FunWas Continuous — Contests and Music Hershey found itself . Tuesday night. While everybody was asking what sort of a winter the town will have good people got together and gave the whole proposition such a splendid inaugural that the only thing now to do is to go ahead and make the season the best ever. The organizations that did it were the Hershey Men's Club, the Young Wo-men's Christian Association and the Mothers' Club, and the place was the commodious rooms of the Men's Club. The success was beyond all expectations. The attendance ran over a thousand and included many from other places. Scores dressed in their costumes came on the trolleys. There were more costumes than were ever, seen at any previous party, in the town and the many of them were remarkably artistic and handsome. There were pretty girls everywhere. ^ The decorations and the stunts reached such a high mark that it will ,be difficult to equal them again. Credit must be well distributed because there was cordial' cooperation in the work under the leader-ship of Mr. Brandau. The ladies of the Mothers' Club and the ladies of the Christian Association did splendid work. Mr. Krause gave valuable aid in the decorations. The fun began when , you entered at the side door. '.You wandered around and presently you felt the earth sink beneath you arid you thought a submarine had shot at your feet, and before you knew what had happened you had slid through the darkness into the light of the other room, arriving as best you may. For this, one of the Park sliding boards was used and no one was hurt, but there ar.e many who wanted to have a private interview with the fiend who thought out the scheme. But when you found that everybody was laughing you forgot your bumps and joined in the chorus, and you got revenge in merriment over the succeeding victims. Some of the most eminent citizens of Hershey did this stunt and their looks of rumpled dignity and complete amaze-ment were worth a day 's salary. So many things were done—dancing, athletic contests; music, fortune telling, cake selling, everything—that there was not a quiet spot in the building or a moment that was . not full of liveliness. Only a few of the names deserving mention are given below: On the decorating committee were: J. M. Brandau, Walter Leibfried , Thomas Black, H. V. Katterman, George Roberts, Miss Mabel Hornsby and Miss Gerber. The orchestra included: Thomas In-gram, Paul Grimm, John Black, C. L. Bare and others. Glee Club: W. L, Dubois, director; William Brinker* John Seitzinger, S. Heilman, H. E. Berdo, Charles Pieffer, C. L. Bare, George A. Roberts, A. Bow-man Snavely, Thomas Ingram, R. H. Sattazahn, Ray Klugh, E, J. Krause, C. F. Light , A. Fidler, J. N. Smith, Dr. J. Landis Zimmerman, G. L. Hassert and John Allen . All were in ghost dress. Blind Man's Biff was the first stunt on the program and was furnished by Cleon Kicffer and Frank Edris, Blind Man 's boxing match made a decided hit. The participants were Earl VonNeida and Earl Haegy. Stunts in balancing were well given by Edward Lehman a local artist. the swimming exhibition by five Reading men in charge of John Farring-ton, A. A. U. Commissioner, was well given . There were sprints , fancy swim-ming and diving, plunging and 100 yard dashes, Life saving methods were demonstrated on land and waler. The swimmers were A, Stewart Spanglcr , Edward G, Spangler, Ward Boole, Jesse Conner, John S, Farrlngton, Tho program was then turned over to Miss Hornsby who conducted an at-tractive number of informal games. Refreshments were In charge of the Mothers' Club, and the tables were not only full of good things but were grace-fully decorated. The members added greatly to tho success of the evening.

"Remember boys," he said in his fatherly way, "each one blindfolded will have three strikes at the bag' and the one who knocks it down gets the candy. Now, remember, the boy who knocks it down gets the candy." In the semicircle sat sixty boys bent forward in tense attention. The first boy hit the air ; he did not come within a yard of the bag. . "Whoopee" came in a joyous chorus. The second boy missed first time, but the second time the stick hit the bag squarely in the neck and the precious contents fell. As though raised and thrown forward by a sudden earthquake the sixty boys projected themselves into the middle of that floor. They did not run or jump; they simply rose in the air and came down on one another. In the squirming mass were 120 arms, 120 legs, 60 heads and other members of 60 bodies in one grand, indescribable mixup, while 60 voices joined in screams and shouts, while Father Copenhaver and other adults -tried to pull out a few of the legs and arms. . It was the. funniest thing you ever saw, but it looked as though there would be enough victims to fill a hospital. Of course, nobody was hurt. Those boys are so healthy and vital that nothing bothers them. And did the boy who knocked down the candy get it? He did—he got just one little piece. This was only one of. the many stunts of Hallowe'en at the school. It was a great evening, with games galore and with happiness beyond all reporting. It made one young again to just look on. With red tapers the sixty boys, teach-ers and the half dozen invited guests did a walk-around in the yard and marched across field to the wonderful bonfire which the boys had spent more than a week in accumulating—a big mass of sunflower stalks and other debris more than 30 feet high, and when they set it on fire the glare could be seen for many miles throughout the Lebanon Valley. After an hour of open air sport in the light of this bonfire all filed back to the big room and there enjoyed peanuts, doughnuts, popcorn, apples and other good things. L, R. Meekins told of Hallowe'en and the ghosts he had seen and the fairi es. "Do you believe in fairies?" he asked. "Yes," came in a chorus, and surely there must be a lot of fairies to take such good care of these rosy-cheeked fellows, Mr. Copenhaver made a happy speech and as each little regiment marched to quarters they shouted their good nights. The watch offered for the best essay went to John D. Greif and his essay will be printed in the Hershey Press next week. The boys said their only regret was that Mr. M. S. Hershey could not have been present to enjoy the night with them . . MR. MCLEAN 'S ADDRESS More Than a Hundred Fa rmers and Dairymen Present Over a hundred farmers and dairymen and a number of prominent citizens of Hershey heard the addresses of Pro-fessor J. A. McLean and Superin-tendent Signer at the Hershey Central Theater Friday night. It was a very successful meeting and it carried forward the intercut that the new superintendent has aroused in tho discussion of practical problems affecting the better farming In the Lebanon Valley, Professor McLean spoke for more than an hour and gave many useful suggestions gained from his long ex-perience and his expert knowledge and and he was warmly greeted both before and after his talk. Mr. Signor added a very Interesting and practical address on the methods hp had found effective and it was in his best vein, He is getting in close touch with tho farmers and tho dairymen, Two weeks hence ho will have one of tho experts from tho Pcnn State College. Thctio meetings will bo held throughout the , winter and Mr. Signer's policy in inviting a broader presentation of modern farming Is find-ing general favor.

FunWas Continuous — Contests and Music Hershey found itself . Tuesday night. While everybody was asking what sort of a winter the town will have good people got together and gave the whole proposition such a splendid inaugural that the only thing now to do is to go ahead and make the season the best ever. The organizations that did it were the Hershey Men's Club, the Young Wo-men's Christian Association and the Mothers' Club, and the place was the commodious rooms of the Men's Club. The success was beyond all expectations. The attendance ran over a thousand and included many from other places. Scores dressed in their costumes came on the trolleys. There were more costumes than were ever, seen at any previous party, in the town and the many of them were remarkably artistic and handsome. There were pretty girls everywhere. ^ The decorations and the stunts reached such a high mark that it will ,be difficult to equal them again. Credit must be well distributed because there was cordial' cooperation in the work under the leader-ship of Mr. Brandau. The ladies of the Mothers' Club and the ladies of the Christian Association did splendid work. Mr. Krause gave valuable aid in the decorations. The fun began when , you entered at the side door. '.You wandered around and presently you felt the earth sink beneath you arid you thought a submarine had shot at your feet, and before you knew what had happened you had slid through the darkness into the light of the other room, arriving as best you may. For this, one of the Park sliding boards was used and no one was hurt, but there ar.e many who wanted to have a private interview with the fiend who thought out the scheme. But when you found that everybody was laughing you forgot your bumps and joined in the chorus, and you got revenge in merriment over the succeeding victims. Some of the most eminent citizens of Hershey did this stunt and their looks of rumpled dignity and complete amaze-ment were worth a day 's salary. So many things were done—dancing, athletic contests; music, fortune telling, cake selling, everything—that there was not a quiet spot in the building or a moment that was . not full of liveliness. Only a few of the names deserving mention are given below: On the decorating committee were: J. M. Brandau, Walter Leibfried , Thomas Black, H. V. Katterman, George Roberts, Miss Mabel Hornsby and Miss Gerber. The orchestra included: Thomas In-gram, Paul Grimm, John Black, C. L. Bare and others. Glee Club: W.

Krause, C. F. Light , A. Fidler, J. N. Smith, Dr. J. Landis Zimmerman, G. L. Hassert and John Allen . All were in ghost dress. Blind Man's Biff was the first stunt on the program and was furnished by Cleon Kicffer and Frank Edris, Blind Man 's boxing match made a decided hit. The participants were Earl VonNeida and Earl Haegy. Stunts in balancing were well given by Edward Lehman a local artist. the swimming exhibition by five Reading men in charge of John Farring-ton, A. A. U. Commissioner, was well given . There were sprints , fancy swim-ming and diving, plunging and 100 yard dashes, Life saving methods were demonstrated on land and waler.

Refreshments were In charge of the Mothers' Club, and the tables were not only full of good things but were grace-fully decorated. The members added greatly to tho success of the evening.
