              MR. SIGNOR JOIN S
HERS HEY FORCES
Will Hold Executive Position in the
Closer Org anization of the In- ,
dustrial School and the Her-shey
Farms and Dairies
Compliments
On September first George C. Signer,
who has done such excellent work at the
state institution for the feebleminded at
Spring City, will join the Hershey or-ganization..
He does not replace anyone
but comes to do important executive
work in .the larger plans.that Mr. Hershey
has outlined for the development of the
Hershey Industrial School and, the co-ordination
of wie Hershey farms and dair-ies
in the support and expansion of the
school's scope and policy. Back of it all
is Mr. Hershey's idea of practical educa-tion
based on the land and its production,
and the working out of the details of this
proposition promises to be quite the most
interesting thing in the Hershey program.
Mr. Singer's selection was due to his
remarkable record at Spring '. City in
making the land feed ^he people living on
it. When Mr. Signer took hold of the in-stitution
as its superintendent the land
was producing little and the cost of main-taining
the inmates'was high. His success
in making the land produce food cut the
per capita cost twenty per cent, and this
record of economy . and efficiency at-tracted
wide attention. Mr. Hershey spent
a day there, taking with him heads of
departments, and the result of the visit
was an invitation to Mr. Signer to join the
Hershey forces. He accepted and his work
begins September first. Until they can
secure a permanent horhe. Mr. and Mrs.
Signor will occupy the residence, on Choco-late
Avenue, next to- the home of Mrs.
Menno Hershey.
Mr. Signor in his letter of resignation
expressed his deep regret and referred to
the institution's "present high standard,
without a dollar's deficit ; with larders,
barns and granaries filled; with a herd of
cattle increased from sixty-three in number
to three hundred and seventeen ; with an
increase at the piggery of about four
hundred head ; with other permanent
assets, paid for out of the appropriation
to the amount of nearly $30,000."
The newspapers devoted much space to
his resignation and all the articles were
most complimentary to him.

Palmyra are included in this request.
RETURN THOSE BATHING SUITS
Otherwise There Will'be Trouble and
a Large Fine
In the past two weeks seven persons
have been arrested and have been obliged
to hand over nearly a hundred dollars to
'Squire Cassady in order to keep out. of
jail. Ralph Fiore has warrants for
others and more arrests aie expected this
week.
Those men stole Hershey bathing suits,
not knowing that in the suits arc inter-woven
certain marks that cannot bo re-moved.
Most of the thefts were made last
year, and the thieves had the nerve to
bring the suits back to Hershey and use
them in the swimming pool. The arrests
include young men from Eno)a, Harrls-burg,
I-Uimmelstown and other places.
A number of the stolen suits are still
out, Those who have them would do well
to return them at once, The parcel
post Is recommended.

ning. Large Attendance
. The annual Hershey Union Picnic of
1916 has come and gone; . Nearly 300
persons attended and if there is anyone
who did not have a good time the fact
has not been reported to the Committee.
The' weather man furnished some of his
very best for the start and in order to
give variety sent a first class storm of
rain and wind with electrical • accom-paniments
for the latter part of the day.
. Penryn Park is beautifully located right
in the middle of the mountains about four
miles south of Cornwall. There is a fine
athletic field and the picnic grounds are
very well furnished with the usual ac-commodations.
Leaving Hershey at 8
the special train arrived at the Park about
9. The event of the forenoon was a five
inning baseball game between the
"Bums" under Capt. Sykes Carman .and
the "Crooks" under Capt. Slim Wirth-.
The "Crooks" won 3 to 2. The detailed

Jr., cf | John Smith, If.
The first inning showed the young
ladies in excellent form and the odds
were largely in their favor but in the
second Mr. J. Pluvius went to bat and
that 's all.
The rain which fell in torrents after
3 o'clock spoiled part of the sports pro-gram
but otherwise was not of serious
consequence. There is plenty of shelter
at the park.
The party arrived at Hershey about 8.15
tired, happy and ready to go next year.
TODAY THE GROCERS COME
Harrlaburg 's Great Day at Hershey
Pa rk
One of the real days of the Hershey
Park season is the coming of the Hnrrls-burg
Grocers. These live bulsness men are
not content with the humdrum. They
are different. The way they get up a
picnic is not to hold a meeting and ap-point
a committee and then forget about
it, They pitch Into it and let the whole
town and its neighbors know that they
are Koing to hold the biggest , proudest,
everlixstingcBl unci eventfulest picnic Hint
ever made life worth living in Lebanon
Valley, They emphasize this with noise
and parades and nil sorts of doings until
every man , woman and child knows that
the only thing worth while on the date will
be the picnic,
So today they come—¦five" thousand of
them , If the weather be fair , and thousands
of them even If if ruins. They will Ml
every minute of the day and they will
have plenty of entertainment for their
friends,, Among the items on the program
are ul.lilol.lc events, games, guessing con-tests,
band concerts and a freo vaudeville
show, During the clay, 2000 cups, (TOO
fans, ,5000 drinking cups, and lolypopa
and chewing gum will bo distributed,
Special trains for Hershey Park will
leave the Rending station at 8 in the
morning and 1 o'clock In the afternoon.
HERSHEY BULL IS
* A REAL STAR
Chocolate Segis Pontiac Alcartra is
Growing Into Large and Hand-some
Proportions and. is the
Most Popular Attraction
in This Part. Points
Every week it is becomig more ob-vious
that the most popular star in the
Lebanon Valley, is Chocolate Segis Pontiac
Alcartra. Visitors from all parts of the
country go to Cloverdale Farms to see
him and the number of his admirers
steadily increases.
For a youngster of only 19
months he comports himself with ft:
dignity and without vanity. His ;^
amiability is one of his virtues. He J|
was born December 15, 1914, and '; .
when Mr. Hershey bought him he - , ;;
was just about a year old. The . j . ¦
price paid for him—$10,200—was 3v;
a sensation of the day. But this bull ^ vr
had come of royal stock and his |;.!i
pedigree was without a flaw. He i?Jg
was the son of King Segis Pontiac g||
Alcartra, the $50,000 bull, whose . H
wonderful breeding places him ggB
high in the Holstein hall of fame. S§
His dam was a 30-pound daughter || s
of Pietje 22d's 'Woodcrest Lad, an |BB
aristocrat of the aristocrats. He is
worthy of his parents, for there is not a
handsomer animal anywhere.
Of the recent visitors, none were more
interested than the three hundred Vir-ginia
farmers who remained at Cloverdale
Farm longer than at any other point in
Hershey. The bull was brought out so
that they could get the ' best possible
view of him and they formed, themselves
in a circle while Mr.. Reinh^fi made a
little speech and replied to the^Tnumerous
questions. Some of the thes'e questions
were quite pointed. For example they
wanted .to know how a young bull could
be worth ten . thousand dollars to its
owner.
The answer was that it was worth
that sum to have the best animal pro-curable
as the head of the herd. Mr.
Hershey had invested a great deal of
money in his 1,500 live stock, much of it
registered, and the only way to improve
this stock and to assure progress and con-stant
improvement was by high breeding,
In this young bull was the finest breeding,
and the aim is to raise everyone of his
daughters under official tests. At the
present time forty calves are on the way
and every female will be brought up under
the best possible conditions. Thus there
is in the making the greatest bull in
America and the hope is that Chocolate
Segis Pontiac Alcartra will surpass his
sire, King Segis Pontiac Alcartra. It
was further _ explained that the young
bull is exclusively for the Hershey herds.
It has been difficult to get a satis-factory
photograph of the young bull,
although many have been taken. He will
not keep a position long enough or he
frisks around so that the photographer
cannot get him. The most satisfactory
picture is that which accompanies this
article. It shows his, wonderfully fine
and strong sky line, his straight, back , his
splendid head and his sure and solid legs.
It is a picture of animal beauty and
efficiency, and that is the impression the
visitors always get when they watch him
at Cloverdale.
HOLY TRINITY'S GROWTH
Sixth Anniversary Had Large At-tendance
and Good Music
Last Sunday the congregation of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church ' of the
Holy Trinity fittingly observed the sixth
anniversary of its organization, Even
though the weather was intensely warm,
there was a large number present. The
regular morning service was used and the
choir rendered several excellent, selections.
Rev. John I . Meek in his sermon referred
to the fact that there was an unusual
growth in the membership of both Bible
School and congregation during the past
year and that the church itself was ex-erting
a greater influence in the com-munity
than ever before. Mr, Meck's
sermon was forceful, The Holy Com-munion
was administered and the offering
taken in to be devoted to benevolence.
The service this Sunday will be held
at 7,00 p. m, All are cordially Invited.

STATE ACTS ON
NEW EPIDEMIC
Hundreds of Doctors and Health Offic-ers
Guarding the Boundaries
Against , Cases of Infantile
Paralysis. Plague Twice
as Serious as Before
Two weeks ago the directors of the Her-shey
Industrial School purely as a matter
Of precaution decided to close the school to
visitors until the scare over the epidemic
of infantile paralysis subsided. There
were not then and there have not been
any cases in or near the school. The health
of the children is excellent and the directors
acted wholly for protection. The school
buildings are near a main line of travel
and the travellers who come to Hershey
are from all parts of the country.
After the sighs saying "No Visitors
Allowed" were put up there were rumors
that some of the boys were ill, but these
rumors were not true. S° far the only case
of the plague within twenty miles of
Hershey was at Harrisburg.
This week the State authorities led by
Dr. Dixon, the Health Commissioner of
Pennsylvania, put into effect a quarantine
by which children cannot be brought into
Pennsylvania without certificates of phy-sicians.
Watchers are placed on all high-ways
leading from New York and New
Jersey.
In New York the cases have gone be-yond
5,000 and are increasing at the rate
of nearly 200 a-day; There are twice as
many cases as in the epidemic of 1907
and the death rate is higher. In New
Jersey the cases are increasing. In Penn-sylvania
the total to date is less than 200,
mainly in Philadelphia.
Dr. Dixon's Bulletin
The bulletin of Dr. Dixon follows:
"With the history of the world's
workers on Poliomyelitis and the • re-sults
of our own work before us, we
have to acknowledge that the germ of
this disease has not been found , and,
further , that we do not know how the
disease is communicated from one per-son
to another.
"There is no medicine or specific
that will prevent it or cure it. Don't
lose your head ! Avoid patent medi-cines;
they do harm. Call in your family
physician if you get sick ; he will not tell
ypu he has a remedy that is a sure cure,
and any one who does lies. Long, atten-tive
treatment under a good doctor of
medicine, and helped if possible by a good
nurse, will in many cases bring the child
back to health.
. "Until we know more about that
which produces the disease and how it
is communicated from one person to
another, we, with our present knowledge,
strenuously recommend the following
precautions:
"All excepting the doctor and the
one nursing the person sick of the disease
must keep out of the room set aside for
the patient. If possible, keep children
out of the neighborhood in which the
disease prevails.
"Keep all insects out of houses, par-ticularly
flies, Guard foodstuffs from
flics. Flies may carry the disease.
"Feed children on cooked food as
much as possible.
"See that the outside of bread or
biscuits is kept clean and away from
(lies, Wagons, trucks , etc, carrying
bread should not be kept in horse stables,
"Screen your houses and baby coaches
or cribs or beds when the house is not fully
screened.
"The department has literature on
this subject which you can get upon
written request,
T/ThiB department is in constant war-fare
to protect our people from disease,
To accomplish the best, results we must
not only have the confidence of the people,
but individual and public co-operation. "

AMERICA 'S GREAT
JAW MOVEMENT
Clever and Interesting. Account of
the Beginning . and Rise of the
Chewing Gum Industry. Pres- .
ent Investment of Millions
Some of the Details
If you glance down the aisle when you
are again on a car, ypu will note that
four out of ten fellow passengers' are'
moving their .jaws leisurely up and down,
perhaps keeping rhythmic time with the
sway of the car. These are the chewing-gum
enthusiasts, and they have been at it
for half a century. .June brought the
first real anniversary of 1916. It is well
enough , to speak of the Shakespearian
tercentenary, but what are William's fol-lowers
compared with the vast American
army who could celebrate the birthday
of their pet habit?
Strangely enough, whatever Mexico may
do to Ameria in a political way, she can
not undo the great . service she did our.
country by introducing us to chewing-gum.
According to the New York Tri-bune,
it was General Santa Anna, of
Mexico, when a candidate for the Presi-dency
of that changeable country, who
brought the new confection to the notice
of an astute American friend. As the ac-count
runs:
"On one of his carripaign-tours for Re-volving
President of Mexico, General
Santa Anna went in June, 1866, to confer
with a friend at 'Snug Harbor, Staten
Island. Little realizing what momentous
results were to attend his action, came one
Thomas Adams, jr., to pay a social call
on the distinguished thug. One word led
to another, and before the afternoon was
half over they had reached such a state of
familiarity that General Santa Anna had
gone to his bureau-drawer and taken out
a little chunk of something resembling
dvershoeing and, placing a piece of it in
his mouth, began to chew it with apparent
relish, at the same time offering a sectdT
of it to Mr. Adams and his son. /
"With a nice regard for convention, Mr.
Adams asked the General what it was
before he placed it in his mouth, and was
informed that it was the gum of the zapote-tree,
known to its friends as chicle.
"Thus reassured, Mr. Adams took a
chance, and was at once impressed with the
substance's possibilties as a commercial
rubber. He asked Santa Anna to give him
a piece about the size of a man's fist , and
took it home with him for , experimental
purposes to see if it could not be vul-canized.
"In ..conference with a chemist and a
manufacturer of dental supplies,, he tried
to produce from it a substance that could
be used as a base for artificial teeth, but
the thing must have had some intuitive
sense of what it had really been brought
into the world for, as it successfully refused
to be vulcanized and remained just what
it was when it first came from Santa
Anna's bureau—a potential stick of health-giving,
circulation-building, teeth-pre-serving,
digestion-aiding, brain-refreshing,
chest-developing, soul-tuning • chewing-gum.
"One day asl they sat round the dis-secting
table gazing hopelessly at the de-fiant
mass of chicle, some one said in a
pet that the only thing the darn stuff
was good for apparently was to be chewed'.
And Mr. Adams, being of that type of
men pictured in the encyclopedia adver-tisements
who have, without a college
education , worked their way from a line-cut
fadeaway in the background , repre-senting
a barefoot boy, to a half-tone
picture of a man in a two-button sack
suit, with his hand on an open volume,
immediatel y answered back with 'We'll
fight it out on this line if it takes all
summer,' or 'Millions for defense, but not
one cent for tribute ,' or some such historic-al
phrase, and the manufacture of chew-ing-
gum from chicle was begun."
The Adamses, father and son, managed
to get together a capital of thirty-five
dollars, and with this as a working basis,
the account tells us, they began the manu-facture
of this new—what shall wo call
It , well, commodity. They started then
what proved to be the greatest national
movement America has ever seen, the'jaw
movement.
As to the actual manufacture of chew-ing-
gum we learn that it was very simple,
Tho thirty-five dollars would go a long
way, for we rend:
"The chicle was1 boiled on an ordinary
cook-stove, like mdlasses candy, until it
had the consistency of bread-dough, when
it was rolled into long strips and cut off
in inch-sections. These were hardened
in cold water and packed , a hundred in a
box, mid the tiling was done,
"Tim chewing of gum in tho early days
of Its manufacture was more a matter
of conscientious application to the work
at hniid than it is to-day, for there was
no such thing as flavoring to help along
the delusion of having a good time. It
'was Just chewing for chcwlng's sake,
and tlio pioneers who gave their time and
energy without even a trace of rriint
or blood-orange reward deserve all the
praise due to men and women who .blaze
the trail for those who follow In effete
