Distribution Will Reach Over Eighty Per Cent ,of all,the Employes of . the Factory. A Thousand and Fifty Persons in the List. Value of the Policy In ten days the employees of the Hershey Chocolate Company will be notified that they will receive a bonus of twenty per cent on their wages or salaries for the past year. The money will, .be^distributed in about two weeks. The fortunate ones include 1050 persons, from the office boys to the executive officers. It is the largest number in the history of the company due to the fact that it lias been the greatest year the company has known. The bonus policy . has two main purposes,. interest in the welfare of the individuals and the desire to build up an exceptional force of regu-lar and reliable workers. When the bonus experiment was first tried only twenty per cent of the . employees could meet the condition of six months' previous service. This year the eligible list goes above eighty per cent.

Miss Carrie Dressier teacher of one of Primary school s, who was ill for three days last week, reported on duty Monday morning. Inspector Koch's Visit High School Inspector C. D. Koch made his annual visit to the local High School. It will be interesting to know that the High school ranks in the first grade for last year's work. If the first class, how much better work can be done in the best equip-ped school of its kind in the State ? A high school of the first class ad-mits you into college without condi-tion, providing you take the regular course while in the high school. It will save hundred of dollars to the boy or girl who expects to attend a high - er institution of learning.

Built of Steel and Hollow Tile it Will Seat 5,000 People and Will Con- . tain all Modern Conveniences Including Four Big Com-mittee Rooms; Choir An army of men are busy on the new Hershey tabernacle and more will be added as the work proceeds. It. will require strenuous effort to have this largest of all the single buildings in Hershey for the coming of the 50,- 000 host of the Church of the Breth-ren in June, but the task will be com-pleted in time and the great auditor-ium will be ready. The tabernacle will be a ' compre-hensive convention equipment perma-ment and modern in all its details. The main auditorium will be 2€2 feet .6 inches over all and 155 feet 6 inches in width with a height of 71 feet. It will seat 5,000 and almost twice that number could be crowded into its area. There will be four committee rooms 15 by .25 feet, fully equipped for their purposes. The main entrance will be 62 feet wide. The stage will be 13 feet deep and 60 feet long. . There will be 18 doors, each six feet wide. The choir loft, 14 feet wide and 86 feet long, will seat 250 persons.

It will be the most complete con-vention auditorium in the country, Hershey's New Tabernacle Will be Mammoth Structure Killed at the New Subway While Walking on the Track Another Death to the List of Those Who Disregarded the Rules of the Railway Company. Victim Was Returning to His Home in Derry When Run Down Matto Guetano, a foreigner employ-ed by the Reading Railroad Company at this place under section loss Charles Stuckey, was run over and instantly killed by the Lebanon shifting engine No. 838 at the new subway at this place on Sunday eve-ning. Guetano had worked at Swatara. Station during the day and was re-turning to his shanty at Derry Church when the accident happened. It is thought that he was walking on the west bound track and stepped out of the way of the passenger train pass-ing through here at 7.25, and was run down by the shifter. His hody which was horribly mangled was brought to Hershey by train No. 820 where it was identified by Mr. Stuckey. The body was later taken to Karmany's undertaking establish-ment in Hummelstown where an in-quest was hold. He is survived by a wife and two children living in the old country and several relatives at this place and Philadelphia, This is another sad illustration of the fact that practically all the rail-road accidents in this vicinity in re-cent years have been duo to walking on tho tracks. All tho deaths on the railway have come from that cause. Tho railroads of tho country are mak-ing valiant efforts to stop what they call trespass and laws against it have boon passed, Most of tho fatalities on all American railroads are those of track walkers. Foster -Bradle y The marriage of Miss Helen T. Bradley, daughter of Colonel and Mrs. Walter Trogo Bradley, to Colonel Samuel Davis Foster, of Pittsburg, took place at 7 o'clock Monday night at tho homo of tho bride 's pa rants , 1602 North 15th street, Philadelphia.

New Summer House A largo rustic summer house Is be-ing erected at the summer residence of Walter T,. Bradley at Swatara Station. Aaron Slosaor of this place is the mechanic In charge of tho work. But Instead of. Supplying Ammunition it is Sending Food. Germans Called the Chocolate Soldiers. Switzerland's Drastic . Ac-tion. America's Part . Within the past two months much cocoa and chocolate has gone from Hershey on foreign . orders. -In most cases the ultimate destinations are not known until the facts drift in by mail. But from letters that have been re-ceived it is known that Hershey pro-ducts are being' consumed in the arm-ies of all the big nations, including Russia. How they reach Great Britain and France is easy, because navigation is open. There are sev-eral routes to Russia. How they .get to Germany is the problem that could be* explained only by the agents who buy the goods and pay cold " cash therefor. Germany is a great consumer of chocolate and cocoa. It used to lead all nations and it is only second be-cause of the marvelous growth of the industry in the United States—for here the consumption and production have been doubled since the town of Hershey was founded. "We call the Germans the Choco-late Soldiers," writes a soldier from the front, "because they appear to be always eating chocolate. When they attack us or are attached, when they are wounded or sick, by night and day, it's all the same. We have found some of their dead with cakes of chocolate between their fingers. During one of our Christmas arm-istices ,one of the German soldiers told me that the chocolate ration had been recommended by scientists as a convenient and exceedingly nutritious food, and had sustained them very well in some of their long marches where other foods were not availa-ble." The Swiss Take Action This week the following cablegram was received : "Berne, Switzerland, Jan. 25.—The federal council has adopted a decree prohibiting the export of chocolate, vinegar, manufactured India rubber and electric cables. Swiss chocolate has been exported in large quantities, both to France and Germany, and there is danger there will be none left for home consumption." This means a new drain on the organization best equipped to handle the new foreign demand without af-fecting its full service to its domestic trade. These are the busiest days the Hershey Chocolate Company has ever known.

Linwood Eisenberg of Chester at the Union Meeting Sunday Afternoon. Fine Singing by the Men's . Chorus. Large Audience Another big audience assembled for the union services , at the Hershey Central Theater Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. It included many from the neighboring towns, quite a num-ber from distant points and the lead-ing people of Hershey. Mr. M. S; Hershey, who first advocated these union meetings for Sunday after-noons, was present and was greatly impressed by the address and the cordial cooperation of the congrega-tion. Harry S. Moyer was the leader of the day. President Millard was on the stage. Rev. George S. Rentz asked the invocation and pronounced the benediction. The orchestra was present and the congregational singl-ing under Professor Keboch was ad-mirable. The musical feature of the day was the first appearance of the Men's Chorus with W. L. Dubois di-rector. The chorus gave two num-bers and both were beautifully rend-ered. Nothing better has been .heard since' the meetings began; Steps are being taken to have the Men's Chorus and the Glee Club of the Young Women's Christian Association com-bine in joint numbers for an early meeting. This would be sure to crowd the theater. The ushers for the day welcomed everyone with smiling courtesy and gave an air of hospitality to the afternoon. The ushers were, Frank B. Saylor, Fred S. W. Klinger, John C. Moyer and Leo Marks. In presenting the speaker Mr. Moy-er expressed cordial appreciation of the value of the Sunday afternoon meetings and suggested that those present tell their friends and thus spread the good by increasing the at-tendance. Dr. J. Linwood Eisenberg, the speaker of the. day, is superintendent of the public schools of Chester, Pa., and enjoys a large reputation both in educational and lecture work. He has many young men under him and so it was natural his appeal should be mainly to young- men. His theme came from a sentence of Roosevelt's speech to the Rough Riders in which he said they must not think of resting on their past performances, for "the ¦world won't have it." Every day the world demands the best that is in a man. He cannot be idle today because he did a good day's work yesterday. There is no ' such thing as resting on laurels. The para-mount law of nature was that a pow-er misused or unusued became use-less. The mystic who said he would not raise his arm for twenty \ years found that when he did want to raise it all power had gone; the arm hung limp and useless. So it was with all the qualities of a man. They must be used well in order to increase; if not used at all tho power will depart. There was, said the speaker, too much dawdling with work, too much of the feeling that the employer might get more than he paid for. In a case of this kind he always got less, for the worker who holds back cheats himself and his job. Let everyone put a dollar of work in the dollar of Pay- There was a high spiritual appeal in Dr. Eisenberg's address and hp told tho story of the talents with ex-cellent- effect. Dr. Eisenberg comes from tho Church of the Brethren and ho ex-pects to attend tho big annual confer-ence that is to bo hold in Ilorshoy next Juno. Next Sunday 's Speaker Next Sunday afternoon thoro will bo a novelty at tho union service, The subject will bo "Sermons From Charles Dickons," and tho interpreter will bo William S. Battis of Chicago. Ho has appeared before tho loading ChautnuquuH and ho comes with fine credentials from other places , Many years experience in tho platform en-abled Mr. Battis to develop a reper-toire from tho works of Charles Dickons. Mr. Battis has dramatized several of tho groat humorist's novels and pi'OHonts thorn in monologue, without costumes, but with nil tho in-terest, situation and action of a real drama, Mr. Battis does not road from tho book , but presents It In dra-matic form, ouch character real and distinct. Ho has a voice of groat range and flexibility. You Cannot Live on the Past; The World Won't Have It The Talkin g Pictures Don't mfas tho Ronfax talking mo-tion pictures at tho Hershey Central Thoator on Saturday ovoning. Those picture s had boon advertised for last Monday evening but owfng to tho Panama pictures thoy wore hold oyer for Saturday evening. Tho regular price of lulmlHslon 10 cents will bo charged. The show will start at tho usual hour 8 o'clock. Town's Oldest Organization a Social Factor and it Also Did Good Work at Fires. Keeps its Old Room But Has New Place for its ( Apparatus. History Very soon after the /founding of Hershey .the jieed of protection against fire was manifest and a build-ing was built and apparatus purchas-ed in 1905. A company was organiz-ed September 1 of that year to take charge of the apparatus. The first officers of the Company were, F. B. Snavely, President, A. W. Snavely, Vice President, Samuel H. Tool, Sec-retary and Treasurer, and Charles V. Glynn, chief. January 17, 1907 ap-plication was made for a Charter un-der the laws of the State. This appli-cation bears 73 names comprising nearly ,all -the active , citizens of the small town at that time. Pursuant to this application a charter was . grant-ed by the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, . February 18, 1907 to Milton S. Hershey,. F. B. . Snavely, Samuel H. Tool, Charles V. Glynn, George J; Eppley and their succes-sors as "The Hershey Volunteer Fire Company." The purposes of the cor-poration as set forth in the order of the court are "the maintenance and support of fire engines, hook and lad-der, hose and other apparatus, suita-ble and appropriate for the ex-tinguishing of fires in Hershey, Penn-sylvania, and vicinity." The Direct-ors named in the charter are H. W. Zentmeyer, John H. Moyer and Wm. H. Lebkicher. After incorporation it became de-sirable that .the house and apparatus should be owned or leased by the Company. Accordingly the appara-tus was leased by Mr. Hershey to the Company at a yearly rental of $1.00 and the building for a similar sum. A bell was placed on the building by the company in 1910. During the first years of the com-pany's existence many musical, dra-matic and other entertainments were given.' Hershey was then small and the Fire Company was the social cen-ter, in fact was the only organization of a social nature in the town. Its membership included all the promi-nent men of Hershey. As the town grew and other organizations came into existence this feature of the Company's life became somewhat changed and while the interest of Hershey's .citizens has not fagged, other calls on the time of the mem-bers have caused a decrease in the number of social gatherings. In order to make room for needed improvements in the center of the town the company's apparatus has recently been moved into the new building erected for it on Caracas Avenue but the company still occu-pies the hall of the old building. Here are a fine pool table, daily and week-ly papers and magazines and facili-ties for games of various kinds. The appreciation is shown by the nightly gathering of members. The Company's energies have not all been devoted to the social side of their organization but on the few oc-casions when their services as fire fighters have been needed they have acquitted themselves well, notably at the fire in Mr. Drinker's house at mid-night of tho extremely cold night of February 8, 1912 and tho fire at the Hershey Laundry June 20, 1912 when tho prompt work of the firemen un-doubtedly prevented tho destruction of the whole plant. Tho Company has boon called out of town severa l times. Tho most im-portant of those occasions were calls from Union Deposit in 1908 when de-struction of the entire village was threatened , and tho burning of Cur-ry 's mill at Swatara Station May 30, 1914. On both those occasions tho company responded ' promptly but lack of water supply hampered their efforts. Nevertheless they did good work and in both cases their services was appreciated by tho residents of tho afflicted villages. Tho present organization of tho company is, Prosidgnt , William C. Brinkor; Vice President , Aldus Wirth ; Treasurer, George J, iOpploy; Secre-tary, I-I, A. Nowton; Chief , John P. Conrad ; Assistant Chief , Hess Bigloy; Trustees, J. B. MoKissIck , J. E. Hills and 1). M. Horshoy , Tho company has about 120 members. Snug in its New Quarters is The Hershey Fire Company Y. W. C. A. Basketball Basketball games aro being arrang-ed botwoon two teams of tho Y. W. 0. A. and tho public will bo invited to at-tend , tho admission bolnir only ton cents. The dates of games and namos of players will bo announced later. Owing to tho small response tho special train to the "Billy" Sunday service in Philadelphia will not bo run. Horshoy was all rifrhfc , but tho other towns wore Indifferent. No Special for "Billy" Sunday

It is thought that he was walking on the west bound track and stepped out of the way of the passenger train pass-ing through here at 7.25, and was run down by the shifter. His hody which was horribly mangled was brought to Hershey by train No. 820 where it was identified by Mr. Stuckey. The body was later taken to Karmany's undertaking establish-ment in Hummelstown where an in-quest was hold. He is survived by a wife and two children living in the old country and several relatives at this place and Philadelphia, This is another sad illustration of the fact that practically all the rail-road accidents in this vicinity in re-cent years have been duo to walking on tho tracks. All tho deaths on the railway have come from that cause. Tho railroads of tho country are mak-ing valiant efforts to stop what they call trespass and laws against it have boon passed, Most of tho fatalities on all American railroads are those of track walkers.

But Instead of. Supplying Ammunition it is Sending Food. Germans Called the Chocolate Soldiers. Switzerland's Drastic . Ac-tion. America's Part . Within the past two months much cocoa and chocolate has gone from Hershey on foreign . orders. -In most cases the ultimate destinations are not known until the facts drift in by mail. But from letters that have been re-ceived it is known that Hershey pro-ducts are being' consumed in the arm-ies of all the big nations, including Russia. How they reach Great Britain and France is easy, because navigation is open. There are sev-eral routes to Russia. How they .get to Germany is the problem that could be* explained only by the agents who buy the goods and pay cold " cash therefor. Germany is a great consumer of chocolate and cocoa. It used to lead all nations and it is only second be-cause of the marvelous growth of the industry in the United States—for here the consumption and production have been doubled since the town of Hershey was founded. "We call the Germans the Choco-late Soldiers," writes a soldier from the front, "because they appear to be always eating chocolate. When they attack us or are attached, when they are wounded or sick, by night and day, it's all the same. We have found some of their dead with cakes of chocolate between their fingers. During one of our Christmas arm-istices ,one of the German soldiers told me that the chocolate ration had been recommended by scientists as a convenient and exceedingly nutritious food, and had sustained them very well in some of their long marches where other foods were not availa-ble." The Swiss Take Action This week the following cablegram was received : "Berne, Switzerland, Jan. 25.—The federal council has adopted a decree prohibiting the export of chocolate, vinegar, manufactured India rubber and electric cables. Swiss chocolate has been exported in large quantities, both to France and Germany, and there is danger there will be none left for home consumption." This means a new drain on the organization best equipped to handle the new foreign demand without af-fecting its full service to its domestic trade. These are the busiest days the Hershey Chocolate Company has ever known.

Linwood Eisenberg of Chester at the Union Meeting Sunday Afternoon. Fine Singing by the Men's . Chorus. Large Audience Another big audience assembled for the union services , at the Hershey Central Theater Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. It included many from the neighboring towns, quite a num-ber from distant points and the lead-ing people of Hershey. Mr. M. S; Hershey, who first advocated these union meetings for Sunday after-noons, was present and was greatly impressed by the address and the cordial cooperation of the congrega-tion. Harry S. Moyer was the leader of the day. President Millard was on the stage. Rev. George S. Rentz asked the invocation and pronounced the benediction. The orchestra was present and the congregational singl-ing under Professor Keboch was ad-mirable. The musical feature of the day was the first appearance of the Men's Chorus with W. L. Dubois di-rector. The chorus gave two num-bers and both were beautifully rend-ered. Nothing better has been .heard since' the meetings began; Steps are being taken to have the Men's Chorus and the Glee Club of the Young Women's Christian Association com-bine in joint numbers for an early meeting. This would be sure to crowd the theater. The ushers for the day welcomed everyone with smiling courtesy and gave an air of hospitality to the afternoon. The ushers were, Frank B. Saylor, Fred S. W. Klinger, John C. Moyer and Leo Marks. In presenting the speaker Mr. Moy-er expressed cordial appreciation of the value of the Sunday afternoon meetings and suggested that those present tell their friends and thus spread the good by increasing the at-tendance. Dr. J. Linwood Eisenberg, the speaker of the. day, is superintendent of the public schools of Chester, Pa., and enjoys a large reputation both in educational and lecture work. He has many young men under him and so it was natural his appeal should be mainly to young- men. His theme came from a sentence of Roosevelt's speech to the Rough Riders in which he said they must not think of resting on their past performances, for "the ¦world won't have it." Every day the world demands the best that is in a man. He cannot be idle today because he did a good day's work yesterday. There is no ' such thing as resting on laurels. The para-mount law of nature was that a pow-er misused or unusued became use-less. The mystic who said he would not raise his arm for twenty \ years found that when he did want to raise it all power had gone; the arm hung limp and useless. So it was with all the qualities of a man. They must be used well in order to increase; if not used at all tho power will depart. There was, said the speaker, too much dawdling with work, too much of the feeling that the employer might get more than he paid for. In a case of this kind he always got less, for the worker who holds back cheats himself and his job. Let everyone put a dollar of work in the dollar of Pay- There was a high spiritual appeal in Dr. Eisenberg's address and hp told tho story of the talents with ex-cellent- effect. Dr. Eisenberg comes from tho Church of the Brethren and ho ex-pects to attend tho big annual confer-ence that is to bo hold in Ilorshoy next Juno. Next Sunday 's Speaker Next Sunday afternoon thoro will bo a novelty at tho union service, The subject will bo "Sermons From Charles Dickons," and tho interpreter will bo William S. Battis of Chicago. Ho has appeared before tho loading ChautnuquuH and ho comes with fine credentials from other places , Many years experience in tho platform en-abled Mr. Battis to develop a reper-toire from tho works of Charles Dickons. Mr. Battis has dramatized several of tho groat humorist's novels and pi'OHonts thorn in monologue, without costumes, but with nil tho in-terest, situation and action of a real drama, Mr. Battis does not road from tho book , but presents It In dra-matic form, ouch character real and distinct. Ho has a voice of groat range and flexibility. You Cannot Live on the Past; The World Won't Have It The Talkin g Pictures Don't mfas tho Ronfax talking mo-tion pictures at tho Hershey Central Thoator on Saturday ovoning. Those picture s had boon advertised for last Monday evening but owfng to tho Panama pictures thoy wore hold oyer for Saturday evening. Tho regular price of lulmlHslon 10 cents will bo charged. The show will start at tho usual hour 8 o'clock. Town's Oldest Organization a Social Factor and it Also Did Good Work at Fires. Keeps its Old Room But Has New Place for its ( Apparatus. History Very soon after the /founding of Hershey .the jieed of protection against fire was manifest and a build-ing was built and apparatus purchas-ed in 1905. A company was organiz-ed September 1 of that year to take charge of the apparatus. The first officers of the Company were, F. B. Snavely, President, A. W. Snavely, Vice President, Samuel H. Tool, Sec-retary and Treasurer, and Charles V. Glynn, chief. January 17, 1907 ap-plication was made for a Charter un-der the laws of the State. This appli-cation bears 73 names comprising nearly ,all -the active , citizens of the small town at that time. Pursuant to this application a charter was . grant-ed by the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, . February 18, 1907 to Milton S. Hershey,. F. B. . Snavely, Samuel H. Tool, Charles V. Glynn, George J; Eppley and their succes-sors as "The Hershey Volunteer Fire Company." The purposes of the cor-poration as set forth in the order of the court are "the maintenance and support of fire engines, hook and lad-der, hose and other apparatus, suita-ble and appropriate for the ex-tinguishing of fires in Hershey, Penn-sylvania, and vicinity." The Direct-ors named in the charter are H. W. Zentmeyer, John H. Moyer and Wm. H. Lebkicher. After incorporation it became de-sirable that .the house and apparatus should be owned or leased by the Company. Accordingly the appara-tus was leased by Mr. Hershey to the Company at a yearly rental of $1.00 and the building for a similar sum. A bell was placed on the building by the company in 1910. During the first years of the com-pany's existence many musical, dra-matic and other entertainments were given.' Hershey was then small and the Fire Company was the social cen-ter, in fact was the only organization of a social nature in the town. Its membership included all the promi-nent men of Hershey. As the town grew and other organizations came into existence this feature of the Company's life became somewhat changed and while the interest of Hershey's .citizens has not fagged, other calls on the time of the mem-bers have caused a decrease in the number of social gatherings. In order to make room for needed improvements in the center of the town the company's apparatus has recently been moved into the new building erected for it on Caracas Avenue but the company still occu-pies the hall of the old building. Here are a fine pool table, daily and week-ly papers and magazines and facili-ties for games of various kinds. The appreciation is shown by the nightly gathering of members. The Company's energies have not all been devoted to the social side of their organization but on the few oc-casions when their services as fire fighters have been needed they have acquitted themselves well, notably at the fire in Mr. Drinker's house at mid-night of tho extremely cold night of February 8, 1912 and tho fire at the Hershey Laundry June 20, 1912 when tho prompt work of the firemen un-doubtedly prevented tho destruction of the whole plant. Tho Company has boon called out of town severa l times. Tho most im-portant of those occasions were calls from Union Deposit in 1908 when de-struction of the entire village was threatened , and tho burning of Cur-ry 's mill at Swatara Station May 30, 1914. On both those occasions tho company responded ' promptly but lack of water supply hampered their efforts. Nevertheless they did good work and in both cases their services was appreciated by tho residents of tho afflicted villages. Tho present organization of tho company is, Prosidgnt , William C. Brinkor; Vice President , Aldus Wirth ; Treasurer, George J, iOpploy; Secre-tary, I-I, A. Nowton; Chief , John P. Conrad ; Assistant Chief , Hess Bigloy; Trustees, J. B. MoKissIck , J. E. Hills and 1). M. Horshoy , Tho company has about 120 members. Snug in its New Quarters is The Hershey Fire Company Y. W. C. A. Basketball Basketball games aro being arrang-ed botwoon two teams of tho Y. W. 0. A. and tho public will bo invited to at-tend , tho admission bolnir only ton cents.
