              NEW RECO RDS
IN HUNTING
Hershey Nimrods Make Larger Scores
Than In Any Other Year. Many
of Them Got the Limit of
Rabbits •' on the Opening .
Day. List of Men
The first day of the rabbit season
resulted in many Hershey hunters re-turning
fronr the fields and woods with
much game. Rabbits are more plentiful
this reason than .for years and Hershey
hunters were successful in bagging a
big share of the game shot in this vicinity.
Quail for a number of years very scarce
in this locality were found more plentiful
this year. Turkeys, however, appear to
be at a premium and local Hunters have
thus far been -unsuccessful in bagging
this prized bird.
. Hunters in Palmyra and Hummels-town
and Union Deposit report big
bags of game. At Hummelstown a
bulletin has been posted in the store of
George Zellers showing the number each
hunter shot. It has attracted consid-erable
attention. Several hundred cot-ton
tails were shot by the hunters of
that town. Many returned with the
limit, ' which is ten. .
Some of Hershey's successful hunters
were: • P. N. Kasson, Ewing Cain, Ezra
F. Hershey,- George Coppenhaver, D.
S. Graeff, W. L: Dubois, John Daniel,
Herbert Straub, Aldus Wirth, John
Haegy, John Diehm, Patty Miller, Henry
I. Miller, Maurice Hinkle, Edward Lingle,
Edward Lingle, Jr.* Jacob Page, Wayne
Habaker, Moses Lingle,. Adam Whisler,
John Heckert, . John Cassel, William
Curtis, Monroe Curtis, Gharls Stuckey.
Some of the Records
Adam Whisler has the record for the
number of rabbits shot thus far. The
first day he secured the limit and since
then has bagged 11, giving him a total
of 21.
John Diehm bagged the limit of rab-bits
the first day of the season while
hunting in the -vicinity of Lebanon.
Roy .Landis of Union Deposit is one
of. the most successful young hunters
in this section. The first day of the
squirrel season-he bagged the limit and
the opening of rabbit season shot 7
large cotton tails.
Patty Miller, H. I. Miller, Frank
Barnhart and Maurice Hinkle returned
from York Springs the first day of rab-bit
season with 39 rabbits and 15 quail.

in the fields adjoining his property in
Derry Church. The first day of the
season Mr. Page shot 6 cotton tails arid
on Monday in less than an hour bagged
3 fine rabbits.'
Herbert Schweers and Warden Shultz
bagged 5 rabbits and 4 quail while hunt-ing

THE HONEY BEE
t BY JOHN D. GRIEF
5 A watch company- offers an annual prize of a boy's watch to the pupil of the Her-
S shey Industrial School who writes the best essay for the Hallowe'en period. Th I ing essay by e follow- John D. Grief won the prize this year and the watch was presented to him
J last Thursday evening, the title being The Honey Bee:
I There is no other creature which is more useful to man than the honey
I bee. Our native bee is the bumblebee. He lives from hand to mouth. He lives
I in a rude nest or a hole in the ground, and in small communities. He builds
I small cells in which he stores a little honey for his. young, but he never works
j ... with wax- The Indian called the bees the white man's fly. The honey bee's
| work is to get great stores of honey and to do work about the flowers.
I The honey bees' come from Asia, and live in the woods where they swarm.
| - Before a swarm of bees leave the parent hive, they send out exploring parties
| . to look for future homes, i
I When a bee brings pollen into the hive he goes to the cell into which he is
I to put it and kicks it off his legs as a person would when he takes his overalls
I off. Then a bee inside comes and rams it down with his head -and packs it in
| the cell, When the bee.brings honey in he never looks how much he fetched
| but he goes right out again.
I The ' life of a swarm of bees is like an army: It is amusing to see the bee
? come home when there is a thunderstorm.
I Besides grape sugar, honey contains manna, mucilage, pollen and acid.
| It is a sugar with a kind of wild bread. Italy and Greece are famous lands
| for honey. The honey bee also lives in America. They don't dieoff in the winter.
THE HERSHEY INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
NEW SYSTEM IN
HERSHEY STORE
Complete Office With Modern Equip -
ment Now Installed to Handle
the Various Interests Under
the Hershey Industrial
School. Up-to-date
Beginning this week all moneys out-side
of the factory and the trust company
are handled through the central office in
the Hershey Store.
In the reorganization now being com-pleted
the Hershey interests are being
organized into two divisions. One is
the Hershhey , Chocolate . Company and
its departments,. taking in the details,
processes and materials of making and
marketing chocolate, cocoa, chewing gum
and other products'. The second division
is the Hershey Industrial School cover-ing
all activities outside the factory or-ganization,
Thus the Hershey Store becomes the
money center of the various interests
incorporated into the Hershey Industrial
School, and this means the handling of
many accounts and of much money.
For the big work a new office has been
built and it is now occupied by a force of
eight and is equipped with new machines,
including the Elliot-Fisher system which
mechanically cuts in half the work of
entering and billing, The office forms
the western half of the arcaway between
the sections of the big store. It lids ten
windows. The size is 56 by .24 feet.
The manager's office is at the left and
is enclosed. . You walk through what
was formerly the office of tho store and
there are two windows where money
is received . and accounts considered.
The force of bookkeepers and steno-graphers
arc on the large floor and they
have plenty of light and ventilation.
They arc all grcafly pleased with their
new home.
At the right just before you enter the
new office is a large cage in which the
daily operations of the store are attended
to, the carriers converging to the desk,
All collecting is handled through the
new office, The cashing of employees'
checks every Thursday nigh t nt the store
will bo continued,
All money and bills of the Transit
Company, tlio Water Company, the
Electric . Company uikI tho Telephone

HERS HEY GIR LS
GET IN THE GAME
Strong Basketball Team Formed And
Attractive Schedule Arranged
With Fives Fro m Leading
Towns of Pen nsylvania
Miss Engle the Coach
Local basketball fans will be pleased
to learn that Hershey will he represented
by a strong girls' basketball team
this season. Everybody will recall the
splendid exhibitions the local girls staged
last season. All are anxiously awaiting
the opening of this year 's schedule.
The first game "will be. played on Nov-ember
21 with the girls of the Myers-town
High School at Hershey.
Last season the . Hershey quintete
played brilliantly and defeated some of
the best girl teams in the state. Several
of last year's stars will be missed, but
the new players are doing well under
the direction of coach Miss Ruth' V.
Engle and the team is expected to measure
up with tliat of last season.
Miss Myrtle Hershey, who has been
a member of the team for the past few
seasons, will captain and manage this
year's five. Miss Stuckey is the only
other veteran and will play a forward
with Miss Hershey. The other members
are Misses Esther Snavely, Mary Reigle,
Ethel Foltz, and Elva Gruber.
Among the teams . scheduled are: My-erstown,
Lancaster High , Lebanon Val-ley
College, Reading High , York High ,
Harrisburg Central High , Poltsvillc
High and Oberlin, • Games are pending
with Sunbury ' High and other teams in
HERSHEY HIGH WON
Hershey High defeated the rival
Hummelstown High on the gridiron last
Friday afternoon by the score of 13-12.
Hershey played a strong game and
wiped out the defeat handed them by
the Hummelstown team earlier in the
season, Hershey led during . the entire
game but Huminealtown threatened to
to tie the score' in the final minute of
play when they scored their second
touchdown but failed to kick the goal,
The hall struck the cross-bar of the
goal post and rebounded into the playing
field. Both teams were strong on the
offense and both gained many yards
from scrimmage . Russell Clark and Earl
Brown, two of Hershey 's plnyorti , were
removed from the game owing to injuries,
WILL FLOUR GO UP
TO $12 A BARREL?
25 Per Cent Rise in Price of Flour
Is Expected Soon. Millers and
Grain Men Predict It Will
Sell at $12 a Barrel Next
Spring. Shiprnents
Today Washburn and Crosby's Gold
Medal Flour, is $11 per barrel wholesale.
The Hershey Store is selling the same
flour at $10.40 retail. This is because
it purchased its present supply before
the recent sharp advances took place.
It is absolutely impossible to buy a
large supply of flour in the United States
today. There is no telling how much
higher the price oi flour will go.
Unless there is a remarkable change
in the situation—something that, cannot
be counted on at the present time—flour
will sell at $12 a barrel before the winter
is ended, predicts the New York Herald.
That does not mean the consumer can
obtain it for that price, but the wholesaler
himself will have to pay it.
That prediction is made by the flour
millers and the big grain men. The
millers say it will be difficult to conduct
their business this year to show a fair-profit,
for, contrary to popular opinion,
the mills sell the flour "first and buy the
wheat afterward.
Wheat is selling at the highest price
since the Leiter deal in May, 1898, when
it touched $1.85. In 1888 B. P. Hutch-inson
cornered the crop and made the
shorts settle at $2. In 1887, when
Russia and Turkey were at war, it touched
$2.85. But; these were artificial inflations.
Today the country is facing a real scarcity.
James A. Patten 's Views
The -most conspicuous wheat deal in
recent times was that undertaken by
James A. Patten eight years ago. Mr.
Patten made several millions in the deal.
He was present on the Produce Exchange
last week and the Herald writer talked
with him about the prospects. He de-clared
he thought wheat would really go
up to $2.
"Surest thing you know," he said,
"and it is not going to stop there. Before
the next crop is harvested it is not going
to be a question of what is the price of
flour, but , have you got any? Wheat is
going to rise just as long as the foreigners
keqp on buying. '
"Do I believe in the embargo? Well, if
they are going to do anything of that
kind they had better do it pretty quick.
I should say the damage is already done.
The allies are buying wheat as fast as
they can get it offered to them, and price
doesn't seem to make any difference.
Here is the Greek government in the
market for 400,000 bushels, and I under-stand
they have got it. We have already
sold our surplus."'
Inquiry among grain men revealed the
fact that the foreign sales last week
amounted to 10,000,000 bushels. Some
idea of what that means may be gained
from the fact that the crop this year is
estimated by the government at only
607,000,000 bushels. Last year the crop
was 1,011,000,000 bushels, the greatest
on record . But this country requires for
its own consumption, including seed,
590,000,000 bushels. This leaves but
17,000,000 bushels to spare from the
present crop for reserve and export, to
which are to be added 160,000,000 bushels
left over from the last crop. At best
there are only 200,000,000 bushels to be
spared for export; but if .sales keep up at
the present rate there will be 400,000,000
bushels sold before the next crop.
War Orders Rej ected
Realizing those conditions, tho big
flour mills of the country are taking steps
to care for their regualr trade in order to
prevent an actual shortage of flour.
Several of them are turning clown orders
from foreign governments and from now
on will sell flour only to their regular
customers,
T, C, Estec, a director of Washburn-
Crosby Company, said: "The tremen-dous
purchases of wheat for for-eign
markets forshadow much higher
prices for flour, It is well within the pos-sibilities
that there will not be enough of
this wheat to take caro of our domestic
requirements. We have actually refused
very large export orders that wo may pro-tect
our regular trade , and it seems well
indicated that wheat values will force flour
prices to $12 a barrel. "

others to begin to study food values.

What Keeps You Going?
¦ In a series of brilliant editorials ad-mirable
for their simplicity and. clear
statement the North American is discuss-the
food situation. It says: .
At! least one man or woman of your
acquaintance weighs 150 pounds. If
that one could be taken into a chemical
laboratory and analyzed like a pound
of flour or a quart of milk, the chemist's
report on the elements found would read
something like this:
Water ,.' 91 1-2 pounds
Protein '.
... 27
Fat.. 22 1-2 . "
Mineral matter...... .. . . . 8 1-4 .. "
Carbohydrates 3-4 ' "
These figures are approximate. In-dividuals
would vary. ¦ But govern-ment
experts present them as an average.
Every one knows water and fat. In
a general way, nearly every one knows,
mineral matter. With protein and car-bohydrates
it is a different matter,,
however. Few know these, yet the
former, next to water, is the largest con-stituent
of the body. So to know some-thing
about it is vitally important.
Briefly, this term is used to designate
the nitrogen compounds, without which
we could not grow. They build and re-build
the body. The albuminoid proteins
—such substances as white of egg, lean
meat and the curd of rnilk—make muscle,
tendon, cartilage, bone and skin. Pro-teins
furnish the whole framework and
they alone can repair natural waste.
Fats and carbohyd rates are the chief
fuel ingredients of food , however. Sugar
and the starch of bread and potatoes are
the principal carbohydrates.
The above analysis would seem to
indicate that carbohydrates are relatively
unimportant, This is not the case. They
are needed in larger quantity than
protein or fat , but are so easily digested
and so quickly transformed into energy
that little remains in the body structure.
That is why candy has been included in
the official ration of many armies. It
supplies a quick burning fuel which
which speedily generates energy.
On the contrary, such fat as is not
immediately needed for the human
engine is stored for reserve. Hence, it is
possible—b y drawing on this reserve—
for a person to subsist several days or
even weeks on water alone, though water
has absolutely no food value.
Some of the principal protein foods,
named in the order of their nitrogenous
content , aro cheese, lean bea f, chicken ,
ham, fresh fish, eggs and milk. Of
these, ham and cheese have also a largo
fat content,
Among the chief carbohydrate food s
arc sugar, tapioca , honey, crackers,
white bread , potatoes, apples, Crackers
also have a considerable protein and fat
content , so the popular cheese and
cracker sandwich is not so much a matter
of cross-roads store supply as what will
furnish the most nourishment in tho
quickest , cheapest and least wasteful
manner,
The lending fats arc olive oil, salt pork ,
butter and bacon, By reference to
bulletin 28 of tho Department of Agri7
culture, which may bo gotten for 10
cents in coin from that department in
Washington, it is n simple matter to
ascertain file protein, fat or carbohydrate
content of any food material.
Of course, tho vegetables contain
little or no fat, and tho meats, with tho
exception of liver, tripe and dried beef ,
aro barren of carbohydrates, but in
cereals there is a fine , blending, and by
» lltt lo caro in the making up of menus,
ono can intelligently provide what tho
body n'ced» without much trouble,
Hershey ites * Journe yed to Nearb y

Township, in < which Hershey is included,
had a ¦ fine time. Automobiles .tocftc
them to the polls at Derry Church and
returned them home or to their offices.
A leading Republican took a. load of
Democrats. The utmost good humor
prevailed. The election' . officials at
Derry were a genial and' handsome com- ,
pany and so the whole election was
quite enjoyable. About two-thirds of
the votes came out. The results for
the third precinct ' of Derry Township,
counting the heads of the tickets, were'
as follows: Republican, 242; Demo-cratic,
82; Prohibition, 5, Socialist, 1.
. Hershey will . be represented in public
office as follows:

Shenk Kreider, of Annville, Pa., third
term.
Pennsylvania Senate, E. E. Beidleman,.
of Harrisburg.
Pennsylvania House of Represent-atives,

and J. J. Ulsh, of Millersburg.
The vote assures the election of Hon.
P. C. Knox as the successor of George
Oliver in the United States Senate.
The other United /. States Senator is
Hon. Boise Penrose.
Judge Emory A. Walling was elected
Supreme Judge. ' . '

STORIES FOR THE CHILDREN
Miss Edith B. Lewis,,the new librarian ,
has made a great hit with the children
of Hershey . Two weeks ago she decor-ated
the library with Hollowe'en masks
and pictures and invited the littje folks
to come after school and listen to stories.
She expected about.a dozen but 48 came
and filled all the chairs and tables and
many sat upon the floor, Then she
she told them the story of Hansel and
Graethel and 'a witch story and they
called for another which she gave. They
thoroughly enjoyed their hour and elect-ed
Miss Lewis as their friend. At
present the children are kept out of the
library but when the quarantine is lifted
they will expect more stories from Miss
Lewis. Miss Lewis had two years'
.experience in tho Harrisburg Library
before coming to Hershey. The Her-shey
Library enjoys large popularity
and has many visitors.
