              HERSHEY THIS YEAR
IS A BUSY CENTER
How Its Activity is Reflected in the
!Number and Traffic of Its Trans-portation
Interests—A Page
From History—Hie Official
Record—Details
Hershey is busier than it e-ver was.
The Hershey Chocolate Company is
breaking its records , In1 shipments for
the opening months of the year. The
number of .passengers' and the;: quantity
of freight are grea ter than they have
ever been.
There are 128, arrivals and depar-tures
of ears on the Hershey Transit
system and these ears , average more
than 8,000 fares a day. *,,
This do"es not include the movement.
of the milk ears which bring thousands
of gallons of milk to the factory daily
from th ree counties nor the business of
the express and freight cars.
On the-,-Philadelphia- and Reading
railroad all of the thirteen passenger
trains save two stop here and the traf-fic
is increasing. The freight business
at this point now reaches thousands of
cars a year and the increase goes on.
In- addition to this are 'the big trucks
and the many automobiles.
AVhat the present means is seen from
a glance at -the past and the following1
is the official account as given in the
recent publication of the Pennsylvania
Department of Internal Affairs :
"Hershey has. already secured un-usual
railway privileges, although it
has b.ut one stea m railroad—the Bead-.
iny system, through the Lebanon Val-ley.
When the Hershey factory was/
opened the Perry Church station was
reluctantly removed to a site near it,
and the present name was assumed.
Doubt was expressed of a possible pay-ing
volume of business, but it was.soon
apparent that the company had erred
in its judgment, for the freight increase
has been nearly one thousand cars per
year. In the month of September, of
the past year, 1,036 car loads, exclu-sively
Hershey freight, was delivered ;
and the aggregate number of ears per
year has been inore-*than ten thousand ,
the receipts for a single day exceeding
(ifty cars. Passenger traffic also has
increased enormously. During the ex-cursion
season there are, in addition to
frequent regular services, many special
trains, which have carried tens of thou-sands
of visitors to the park grounds
safely, not a single accident occurring
to mar this record.
"The need of communication by elec-tric
railways was given early consid-eration
and the construction of such a
system was begun in 1905, the objec-tive
points being Palmyra , on the east,
and Hunnnelstown, on the west. Ex-tensions
since that , time have been
made to Lebanon , direct by way of
Campbelltown ami'another . direct line
to Fj liznbetlitown, in Lancaster county,
These two lines may be used as con-necting
links with other trolley sys,-
tenis which will make it possible to
travel by electric cars from Harrisburg
to Philadel phia. Another electric rail-wa
y, by way of Prospect Heights, will
extend ;to points upward , in the Swa-tnra
Valley, and thus many points are
made tributary to the Hershey Transit
Company, whose mileage will soon
roach several score, and all equipments
of these lines are fully modern and
fi rst-class in every particular. These
electric railways have very material ly
a ided to develop the growth of the town
and the chocolate industry and have
been an unquestioned boon to the rural
communities penetrated by them as
common carriers.
"While steam and the trolley have
been such potent factors In the life ot
this Industrial community, local grod
road s, through the Improvement , of ex-isting
highways , have been equally Im-portant
, factors In. effectually brin ging
the entire countryside to Ilorshoy,
Those very substantial Improvements
wore made possible by the generous aid
of M. S, Tlershoy, who expended $(10,-
000 on public Hinds of Perry township,
not Including the st reets of the village ,
laid out by him , Most of those thor-oughfa
res have been well graded and M
movement Is under way to have them
permanently paved. Their neat , and
well ordered appearance has secured
much merited praise. "

DERRY PULPIT VACANT
Last , Services of the Pastor; Rev.
George Snavel y Rentz.
The last services in the Berry Pres-byterian
Church under the ministry of
Bev. George SnaVely Rentz were held
last Sunday. The Sacrament of the
Lord's Supper was administered at the
morning service. Despite the inclem-ent
weather, a larger number partook
of the sacrament than at any other
service, in the three years' ministry of
Bev. Rentz.
After the service of worship, a- con-gregational
meeting was held at which
the resignation of H. S. Moyer as
treasurer of the congregation was re-ceived
and accepted. I. L. Reist was
elected ;to succeed him in the* treasur-ership.
Hiram Lmdemuth was elected
trustee and .John Cope was elected el-der;
At the evening . service, which was
also very well attended, Mr. Cope was
ordained as ruling elder with impres-sive
service of the Presbyterian Book
of Government.'
An interesting, feature of the day-was
the use for the fi rst time of the
beautiful hymn-board designed and fin-ished
by Robert V. Owen, Jr., a mem-ber
of the congregation. At the close
of the evening service, Rev. Rentz read
the action of the 'Presbytery of Car-lisle
declaring the pulpit of the church
vacant until another minister is called
aiifl installed.

HERSHEY CHOCOLATE
IN THE TRENCHES
Soldiers in the Great War Send Letters and Postcards Telling
How They Enjoyed the Hershey Products—Messages Show
Fine Culture and Some of Them Are Delightfully
Written—Personal Experienc es on the Battle
Front—Some of the Requests.
Letters and postcards are being re-ceived
from the trenches by the Hersh-ey
Chocolate Company telling how
much Hershey chocolates are being en-joye
d by those who are so fortunate as
to receive them. Some of the letters
are beautifully written in French al-most
as perfect as script and others are
more picturesque. All are interesting
and are being preserved by Presiden t
Murrie." The Press is permitted to
(mote from a few of them.
Private John Ross, of the famous
Gordon Highlanders, sends a postcard
from Belgium. It is stamped, "On Ac-tive
Service. Field Post Office. Passed
by the Censor" It tells of the use of
the war to leave the army, and then to
strive, with my numerous business re-lations,
, to do credit to your estimable
linn.
"If you wisli to consider the matter,
please acquaint me with the conditions
and at the same time send me particu-lars
and a prospectus describing your
products."
A Belgian soldier asks : "Having
bad the opportunity to enjoy your cho-colate,
in the course of its distribution
in tliis company, together with the
British gifts for Belgian soldiers at the
front, and having found it excellent, -I
should like to know the cost of two
packages of croquettes and four pieces
of milk chocolate."
From the Arctic Circle.
From all parts of the world coni c
messages about Hershey products. For
example here is a postcard from Fair-banks,
Alaska , with the following mes-sage
: "Made on the fa rm. Eaten on
the trail by the stain peelers inside the
Arctic Circle," and a one cent stamp
brought -it all the way from the frozen
north to Hershey.
Hershey chocolate in. the British Ex-peditionary
Force. Another card from
G. T. Liddicord , of the British Expedi-tionary
Force, is from "25 Unit of Sup-ply."
He says Hershey chocolate was
distributed among the troops. "They
consider it absolutely delicious," he
adds.
Jules Vanderseheurer, of the Begiuni
Army, writes in quaint English- from
"Little. Belgium Front" : "Having eat-en
ones more of your milk chocolate I
can't let to send you a few lines about
it. They all like it up here in the
trendies. It is the right quality you
had'. At Christmas we got some as a
present. All the soldiers liked it to
eat. Accept my sincere greetings."

COURT OF JUSTICE
IN AN EARLY BLAZE
Magistrate Cassad y's Office Quickly
Burned in a Fire That Started
After Midni ght. Another Proof of
the Value of Hershe y's Water
Pressure ,
In the fi rst hour of. last Friday morn-ing
'Squire 10. B. Cassady and his son,
Park, who had return ed on the ' .mid-nigh
t car from the theater in Harris-burg,
. were about to retire when Park
looked out the • window and saw a
blaze. He called his fa ther.and they
hurried to 'the scene. ' It was the one-story
frame building on Spring Creek
avenue just hack of the Cassady resi-dence,
and the flames were already
making, headway in the high wind. It
was too late to save the structure, but
as soon as possible the neighbors who
responded helped in getting the' reel
of hose kept for emergencies on Trini-dad
avenue and the strong pressure of
water put out the fire and prevented its
spreading to any of the neighboring
buildings. The stable was threatened
but was saved. The office was entirely
destroyed. It was the court of justic e
for-Hershey and Derry Church, and al-though
it seldom did a rushing busi-ness1,
because of the good order of this
community, it was well known.
The fire caused general excitement:
The factory whistle was blown and
afterwards, the fire bell was rung. In
spite of the intensely cold night and the
wind most people turned out and the
Hershey Volunteer Fire Company un-der
John Snavely and Louis Brinker
was on the scene. The , excellence, of
the work done was appreciated in the
check sent to the company by Mr. Cas-sady
with the following letter:

aid rendered by the company both as
