railroad wreck, a fearful automobile

horse named "The Whip." It is full of
romance and thrills. Eight Reels.

At the meeting of the Hershey Volun-teer
Fire Company on Tuesday evening,
the nominatio n of officers was to have
taken place.
As a quorum was not present, no action
was taken.
At the regular monthl y meetin g in
October the nomination and election of
officers wi ll be held, and it behooves the
members of this energetic fire company
to attend on that evening, or else the com-pany
will not have any officers.
There are over two hundred names on
the roll , but when the roll call is called the
members, that is nine-tenths of them, are
conspicuous by their absence.
A fire company in a town is essential,
even in these War times. The Hershey
Volunteer Fire Company ever since its
organization has given splendid service to
the town of Hershey and adjacent towns.
Don't forget it next month—your pres-ence
is very much requested.

Enthusiasm
The Autumn season will be ushered in
this Thursday , Friday and Saturday at
the Hershey Department Store with the
Fall opening and showing of new fashions
for men and women.
This season, being one that will brin g
out the value of buying good clothes even
if the price is a little higher, so as to se-cure
a maximum amount of service out of
the clothes, is the ideal opportunity for
the clothing departments, both men and
women, to show their lines to advantage,
for they have always featured quality be-fore
price and thi s year it must be qualit y
and workmanship.
Service in your clothing is what every
buyer wants. The motto of the seaason
being "Buy good, and you will not |buy
often. " True economy is summed up in
this phrase.
Each afternoon and evening there will
be music and the display in the store aud-itorium
of the newest styles in wearing
apparel will be worth coming miles to see.
Remember the date, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, this week.

Love is more powerful than hate, for-giveness
is greater than revenge and mod-ern
religion knows no other creed than
that which teaches the doctrine of univer-sal
brotherhood. These are some of the
truths that are so forcibly portrayed in
that sublimely innocent and beautiful
drama, "The Rosary." which the -Pickert
Sisters Co. will appear in Thurs. Fri. and
Sat. at the Park Theatre, beginningThurs.
night. The play opens with Bruce Wil-ton
and his sweet wife living happily to-gether
but under the shadow of one Ken-ward
Wright who in the guise of friend
has come to visit them and enjoy their
hospitality. He was once the suitor for
Vera Wilton's hand, and is determined to
wreck his successful rival morally, financ-ially
and physically to get revenge. He
is unexpectedly aided by the arrival of
Vera's twin sister , whom he ruined and
deserted some time before. He uses this
weak and desperate girl to further his
ends, concocts and works but a most clever
piece of deviltry that is only frustrated
finall y by the kindly intervention of Fath-er
Kelly, who has known the Wiltons
since they were children and who under-takes
now to save them from the impend-ing
doom. How Vera and Bruce are fin-ally
reunited and the husband converted
by the tireless energy and prayers of Fath-er
Kelly constitute the main thread of the
interesting story. Of course, there are
other characters and plenty of clean, liver-ly
comedy all through. 'The Rosary"
is one of the really big successes of recent
years.

In connection with the District Gran-gers
Picnic held Aug. 29th, 1918 on the
Frank Cassel Farm, near Hummelstown ,
a Plowing contest with Tractors was wit-nessed
by the hundreds of farmers present,
which proved one of the most interesting
features of the Grange gathering. The
list given are the Tractors which took
part—and the official rating given each
Tractor:—
The plows marked 3-14 or 2-14 gives
the number of plows the Tractor pulled.
The ground plowed was three-fourth of
an acre each.—

Note: It is due the 8-16 International
Tractor to say this. Their tractor fell in
a space where was located a large cherry
tree. The roots of same gave them a
great deal of trouble—whereby they lost
11 minutes of the time which would give
them 57 minutes in actual time consumed
in plowing.

The campaign for the Fourth Liberty
Loan begins September 28 and closes Oc-tober
19. While the amount has not yet
been announced , it is generally conceded
it will be for a larger amount than any of
the preceding loans. The American peo-ple,
therefore, are called upon to raise a
larger sum of money in a shorter length
of time than ever before. There is need,
therefore, for prompt action—prompt and
efficient wo rk and prompt and liberal
subscriptions.
We have a great inspiration for a great
effort . The news from the battle front
inspires every American heart, not only
with pride and patriotism but with a
great incentive to do His or her part.
There is no shirking, no shifting of the
individual burden, no selfishness by A-merican
soldiers in France; there should
be none here. We are both supporting
the same country and the same cause—
our Army in one way, ourselves in anoth-er.
Theirs is the harder part, but at
least we can do our part as promptly and
loyally and efficiently as they do theirs.
