              Milk Station at the Factory Will be
Doubled. Hershey Press Build-ing
Now up to the Third
Story. Shower Baths in
the Men's Rooms
It is one of the busiest summers
that Hershey has ever known. On
all sides important construction work
is in progress.
In the Hershey Chocolate Factory
arrangements ' have "been made to
double the capacity of the milk sta-tion
by erecting a new station equal
to the present one. This, will give a
fine new plant 80 by 80 feet running
up the heighth of two stories. . It
will be built in the most substantial
manner and with an equipment that
represents the latest and best in ma-chinery
and methods.
The continuous increase in the
popularity of all the milk chocolate
products of the company requires a
milk supply of larger quantity and
the constant effort is- to raise the
quality. No other concern in the
world uses so much milk or has a
higher grade—and the Hershey Com-pany
is clinching this leadership by
every means possible. The new milk
station is to meet the present pres-sure
and take care of- future growth.
The New Shower Baths
New in the rest rooms of the Her-shey
Chocolate Factory this week are
the shower baths for the men. They
are of the double type and are com-plete
in every detail. They have con-crete
floors and sides with slate slabs
and the fixtures are in polished nickel.
The ceilings are high and the ventila-tion
is ample. They were put in use
on Tuesday and they became popular
at once. There is no charge for their
use by the employees.
Hershey Press Building
This week the splendid reinforced
concrete building of the Hershey
Press at Chocolate and Park A/venues
reached the third , story stage. The
moulds for the columns are being
placed.
The size and beauty of this new
structure-are now being seen, as the
scaffolding is being removed from the
first and second floors. There is
nothing better than the handsome
round columns on the spacious first
floor. They have taken the polish
beautifully and they look like marble.
This building is attracting great at-tention.
So interested are Al Craft
and his men that one night recently
they worked until half past nine be-cause
they could gain time in the
pouring of the concrete.
Store's New Windows
The new windows of the Hershey
Store are progressing well. They
have foundations of granite and most
of the work is done, including the
putting in of the metal frames for the
big plate glass. It is already appar-ent
that the windows will add much
to the life and attractiveness of the
store.
Work on the Roads
If you want to watch the building
of a perfect piece of road take a walk
from the carousel to the round barn.
This new road 'with its concrete base
and its asphalt face will represent
the latest in advanced road making.
The work will soon be completed. _
Gangs are busy making the new
grade of the street ra ilway on Choco-late
Avenue and putting the track
spaces in solid concrete,
A. score of other building opera -
tion s are going on in different parts
of the town , and more are Hcheduled.

It's Never Too Hot to Read
Number of Visitors to Library Grows.
New Books Received
The corner of Chocolate and Cocoa
Avenues is one of the coolest in Her-shey,

Free Public-Library is a popu-lar
institution. There is nearly al-ways
a pleasant breeze in the read-ing
room, which attracts more visi-tors
daily. r Last week there were 425,
of whom 190 came to exchange books.

study of a critical period in Ameri-can
politics and business; Joseph Con-rad's

There is More Travel Over its High-ways
This Season Than in Any
Other Year of its History.
Many of Them Are Com-ing
to Hershey-
Almost a thousand persons have
visited the Hershey Bureau since it
opened last week and they are only
a beginning of the thousands that
will come in increasing numbers dur-ing
the summer.
For it seems that all Pennsylvania
is awheel. Keystone people are see-ing
their, wonderful state. Some of
them are touring it from end to end;
some are making the trip the other
way, and the great majority are pick-ing
their routes so as to include as
many historic points and worth-while
towns as possible. . . . ¦
Hershey is a favorite point on the
routes and so there are constant
streams of travel from all directions.
A familiar remark is, "We never
knew our own state had so much
beauty and' interest."
Perhaps the travel has been stimu-lated
by the recent plan of Governor
Brumbaugh to form a party of fifty
automobiles and tour the whole
state. Or it may be that the stopr
page of European travel has had its
effect in local touring. At any rate
the greatest summer of sightseeing
Pennsylvania has ever known is in
full swing—and Hershey is one of its
busiest and brightest centers.
There is also unusual travel from
other sections and in- the parties
stopping and registering at Hershey
within the past ten days ten states
have been represented.

Hershe y's Oldest Ball Player
Meets With Serious Accident
Williani E. "Patty" Miller Breaks His
Leg While Practicing oh the
Home Grounds Last Friday
Evening. Taken to the
Harrishurg Hospital
There was a regular practice game
by the Hershey Club • on the home
grounds last Friday and the work
was about over when "Patty" Miller
called for another ball. Sweet lined
out a good one to deep, right field and
"Patty" ran to head it off. In his
path was a ravine made by the recent
rains. His left foot went into a hole
and his momentum put such a sudden
strain on his leg that it snapped just
above the ankl e top. "Patty" had no
idea that anything was very wrong.
He thought the. ankle was strained
and called on his teammates to pull it
in place—"It's ail right," he said,
"I'll be in the game_tc>rhorr6w;"
But when Dr. M. L. Hershey was
summoned there was a different story.
Both bones were broken and broken
badly. Dr. Hershey at once made ar-rangements
for his transfer to the
Harrisburg Hospital, in the mean-while
putting a splint on the leg.
Miller was taken to Harrisburg in
the automobile of Allen Dohner of
Palmyra, arriving there just about
dark.
At. the hospital an X ray showed
the extent of the break and the leg
was reset on Saturday. The doctors
see no complications and in the course
of a month or so it is expected that
"Patty" will be himself again.
.No accident in Hershey has ever
caused more genuine regret. "Patty"
was the oldest player and the highest
degree baseball fan of the town and
the popularity of the game "here is
due very largely to his interest and
activity. He has a fine family of a
wife and four children who' occupy a
home on Areba street.
As a mark of appreciation of the
services of "Patty " to clean and good
sport and for his uniform kindness to
everyone it was the general feeling
that something should be done and
so tomorrow—Friday—evening on the
Hershey grounds there will be a
special game ,of ball in his hotior and
for his benefit. Tickets are being
sold. Many have bought , several to
show how much they think of "Patty"
and his work. There will be a good
'game and a fine crowd. It will be-gin
6.15, so as "to give everybody a
chance to be present.
By Trolley From New York
James U. Hopp Makes an Interesting
Visit to Hershey
James U. Hopp of New York was a
visitor to Hershey on Friday and he
came in an unusual way. He is a
Pennsylvanian who has long resided
in New York where he is a dry goods
merchant, Mr. Hopp tried retiring
from business but after two years of
it he found he was not enjoying him-self
and he got back into harness and
has been happy and satisfied ever
since. , He ...will-.soap be sixty years
old but he does not look a day over
forty. He ascribes his remarkable
health to his exercise. He gives all
his muscles full play every morning,
nevei- misses his cold bath and walks
live miles to and from his office. He
never has an ache or a pain and ho
never takes medicine of any kind.
So he was deeply interested in the
model town which strives after per-fect
health through pure air , good
food and sane living. lie has often
come this way on the trains, but thi s
year he tried a different route. The
tu be got him out New York and the
tr olley carried him to Plninflold where
h o spent the- night. The next day ho
ha d a lino trolley ride to Trenton and
enjoyed New Jersey 's capitol. From
Trenton \w varied the journey by a
delightful sail on a river steamer to
Philadelp hia . From Philadelphia he
took the trolley to West Chester, th en
to Coatosvllle , then u> Lancaster,
whore he stayed overnight. From
Lancaster ho trolloyed to Ellzaboth-towu
and there ho had to use the
stoam road to Middlotown , nine mil es,
but. from Middlotown ho trolloyed to
lliiii'lsbiirg, wh ore ho visited rela-tive
s, From Harrisburg ho trolloyed
to llei'shoy, He was enthusi astic in
his praise of the town and Hpent some
tim e horo,
From Hershey and Hnrrisburg Mr.
Hopp will zigzag by trolley In a
iiwr liioHHlflj 'l y direction , ending bin
trolley ox|>orio 'n eo at Hemnt on and
taking the train th ere for the Poeonos
and th e Dulawaro Water Gap. Ho
could retu rn by way of Lebanon and
mak e the way back completely by
tr olley but ho wants to visit his
broth er in Mifflinsburg , Ho says the
tri p lins boon full of change, happi-ness
and novelty—far more Interest-in
g than any train journey.
Mr, Hopp says ho expects to live to
bo over 100 and adds that anybody
residing In Norshoy and h«,vl"g its
health advantages ought to be
ashamed to die under that ago, .
Rev. F. C. Krapf Will Preach the
. Anniversary Sermon and the New
Font Will be Dedicated
Large Attendance is Ex-pected
on This Day
On Sunday morning, August 8th,
the Holy Trinity Evangelical Luth-eran
Church of Hershey will observe
the Fifth Anniversary of the organi-zation
of the -congregation and the
first anniversary of the dedication of
the new church building. The former
pastor, the Rev. F. C. Krapf ,. will
preach the anniversary sermon. The
combined choirs of the Palm Luth-eran
church of Palmyra and the newly
organized choir of the Hershey
church will render an appropriate
anthem. The beautiful marble, bap-tismal
font, the gift of Mrs. John E.
Snyder, will be consecrated at this
service and several infants will be
baptized.
It was in March, 1908, that a canvas
was made of the community and as a
result a Bible School was organized
in the P. O. S. of A. Hall in the Park
on Sunday afternoon, February 7th,
1909. From July 11th on occasion-al
preaching services were held and
on Agust 7th, 1910, when the Rev. C.
K. Fegely the Field Missionary of the
Palmyra-Hershey Parish arrived,
the congregation was organized.
On February 27th, 1911, the Rev.
Frederick C. Krapf came and it was
by his efforts that steps were taken
to erect a church building. The
beautiful structure which stands on
the corner of Cocoa and Granada
Avenues was the result. M. S. Her-shey
contributed the lot and the
Church Extension Society of the Luth-eran
Church gave financial help.
Ground was broken for the building
on Trinity Sunday, May 19th, 1913,
and the corner stone laid on Sep-tember
21st, 1913. While the build-ing
was in ..process of construction
the services of the congregation were
held in the Hershey's Men's Club,
The first service in the new building
was held on July 19th, 1914 and the
church was consecrated on August
2nd. It is altogether fitting that the
congregation has invited its former
pastor to preach the Anniversary
sermon and many will be present to
welcome him.
Rev. Mr. Krapf resigned last Spring
to accept the pastorate of a larger
church at Atlantic City, where he is
meeting with success, and this sum-mer
the parish is under the care of
John Irvin Meek, who has become,
very popular with the Hershey people.
Everyone is cordially invited to at-tend
the anniversary services.
Holy Trinity 's Anniversar y
Will be an Important Event
Hershe y Had a Swatf est
Home Runs and Hits Plentiful in
Game at Mount Gretna >
The Hershey team of the Centra l
Pennsylvania League held a swatfest
on Tuesday afternoon in their game
at Mt, Gretna and defeated the team
representing the St. Mary 's picnic by
the overwhelming score of 18 to 2.
Durin g the bombardment Hershey
contributed four home runs, two by
Dearolf and one each by Zeiglor and
J. Malon e. Hershey in all gathered
twenty hits which were pretty well
divided among the nine players.
Zelgler twirled for Hershey and for
five innings did not allow an opponent
to reach firs t base. Hershey gained
a big lead and Zeiglor eased up and
allowed Lebanon two runs in the
sixth, Hershey started the game by
scoring five runs in the opening
StUUKtt.
I Iit.ll walked and was sacrificed to
second by Romig, Mnehon walked and
then Dourolf smacked a homo run to
deop right, llorshpy scored four in
the second , three \n the third and two
in ouch th e sixth , seventh and eighth.
The entire Hershoy team played with
a dash that curried the Lebanon team
off their feet,. Sweet and Kioffo r
made lino catches In the outfield while
Shoehnn , Muclien , Romig and Hall
worked well in the infield, Dearolf
and Zeiglor worked so well as the bat-tery
that the opposition wore able to
nmko but three hits. .1, Malon e was
tri ed out in right, field by Ilorshoy,
I lo put up a good game,
There is Not a Weak Number in it
As a Result the Audiences are
Larger Every Night and All
Who Attend are Delight-ed.
The Bill
The vaudeville show at Hershey
Park. Theater this week is the best
the town has had for more than . a
year. Nothing last summer equalled
it and it is far beyond anything seen
here this season." It is infinitely bet^
ter ' than the bill last week.
A really clever and laughable magic
act opened the program and the whole
thing was extremely well done. It
was warmly applauded. The magi-cian
was Hernia.
Next J. Edwin Lessig arid Company
presented "The Has Been", the fami-liar
stunt of the old actor, but along
original lines and wholly successful.
Mr. Lessig did his work admirably
and the young lady who assisted him
was as attractive as she was capable.
The Sheldons gave a comedy act in
acrobatics that was skillful and amus-ing
and it won several encores.,
Williard and Bond announced "the
funniest military act in vaudeville"
and this is mentioned because most
advertisements of that kind are not to
be classed as exact truth, but here
was a case of the fact living up very
close to the promise. The act was
just about as funny as it. could be
and everyone in the cast showed
ability and true comedy force. It
went with a breeze from start to
finish.
Finally came McDevitt, Kelly and
Lucy in "The Piano, Movers." It
furnished a fine climax to the bill, for
it was uproariously funny. The
woman who played the handsome
actress was really handsome and she
dressed her part with compelling art;
also' her acting was excellent. As
to the piano movers, well, if you want
a hearty laugh that will shake all the
blues out of you, be sure that you
see them.
To all of this are added moving
pictures of exceptional merit. Mary
Pickford will appear Friday night.
It is a great show all the way through.
Real Opera Next Week .
There will be a complete change
next week. It will be a week of real
opera under the direction of Robert
Kane and the Manhattan Opera Gomr
pany. The opening opera will be the
ever-charming "Mascot," with Edith
Carlisle in the title role and such able
singers as Charles Holly, George Wil-liams,
Wilbur Cox, Jethro Warner,
Gus Vaughn and Bertha Holly, and
a full chorus. This will be given
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
nights. On Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights the opera will be "A
Trip to India ," with an enlarged cast
and chorus. It is expected that these
complete operas will dra w large audi-ences
from the surrounding towns and
country.
