              DAIRYING CLASS
DOING GOOD WORK
One of the Best Meetin gs Was That
Held Last Week—Mr. Hershey and
Others Pr esent—Lecture by
Elmer Klippinger —Practi-cal
Phases of the Work
The Hershey Dairying Class is one
of the live organizations of the town,
and its members are making excellent
progress in their studies. They have
the standard Wisconsin work for their
text book and they are pursuing the
course diligently. The studies are ac-companied
with blackboard demonstra-tions
by Elmer Klippinger, and at
every meeting are guests who are in-terested
in what they are' doing. • Most
of the heads of departments have been
present and one of the recent speakers
was Professor Mairs, of State College.
Last week the visitors were M. S. Her-shey,
J. B. Leithiser, S. D. Clark and
L. R. Mcekins.
Mr. Klippinger demonstrated by
tables and figures the values of milk
and;balanced rations. He stood at the
blackboard for an hour, going into all
the details and proving each point as
he went along. At every stage he
would pause and ask the class if they
understood , and at the same time in-vited
questions. This kept up a run-ning
fire of inquiries and the result
was an evening of profit and educa-tion
which was greatly enjoyed by all.
It was shown conclusivel y that the effi-cient
Way was to take out the butter
and sell it and then to feed the skim
milk to calves, adding balanced ra-tions
that would supply what was re-moved
in the cream. Thus tlie cost of
raising the calf was only one-half Of
what it would be if the whole milk
was fed. This week the class , is go-ing
deeper into balanced rations and
the purpose is to cover the whole field
of .dairying iii the light of the . latest
and best knowledge. .
. Mr. Klippinger invited the comments
of the visitors. Mr. Hershey commend-ed
the work and told the class he was
glad they were going at it in the righ t
way. It was in harmony with what he
wanted accomplished on the Hershey
farms and in the Hershey dairies. He
had invested-in the new bulls ana* the
new cows of high grade in order that
the Hershey stock might be built up
to the highest possible efficiency, ano
this could be done if the men would
use their heads and co-operate for re-sults
along intelligent lines. When he
bought the farms most of the stalls
wore empty and the few cattle were of
inferior grade and were insufficiently
nourished. He was endeavoring to
change all that, and good progress had
been, made, but he was not satisfied.
He wanted better stock , more enligh t-ened
methods and . progress all tlie
time. It could be done If the workers
and the farmers generally would only
wake up and help. He congratulated
(he class on doing the righ t thing in
the righ t way. Mr. I,oifltiscr and Mr.
Olai'k also spoke.
A mutter that gave niuch satisfac-tion
was the report of the Hershey
Chocolate Company 's chemist, that the
Round Burn milk, which Is the main
town supply. Is now of such excellence
and purity (lint II: might bo labeled
"certified milk. " In cities certified
mill; soils at from twelve to twenty
cents a quart' . In Hershey the price Is
seven cents, No other place has such
milk at so low n price.

SUNDAY MEETINGS
CONTINUE POPULAR
Miss Roberts Pleas es Audience With an
Artistic Inter pr etation of "Every-
Avoman"—Dr. Hunsber ger Will
Lecture Next Sunday on
"The Passing of War"
Undaunted by the high winds and the
snowdrifts that made it unpleasant, it
not difficult , for those who ventured out
of doors, a' fine audience assembled in
the Hershey Central Theater Sunday
afternoon to hear Miss Mary Brevard
Roberts,, of Philadelphia, read Walter
Browne's modern morality play,
"Everywoman." It was the day after
Christmas, and many were away for
the double holiday, so the attendance
was remarkably good.
Miss Roberts gave an artistic inter-pretation
of the play, reading the parts
of the different characters in a way
that emphasized their relative import-ance.
Her enunciation was clear.
The devotional committee of the
Young Women's Christian Association
had charge of the meeting. Miss Alice
Elder was the leader, Mrs. George
S. Rentz directed the devotional exer-cises,
and Miss Lottie Conrad was at
the piano. The music was well ren-dered.
Next Sunday Rev. W. A. Hunsberger,
executive vice-president of the Inter-national
Peace Forum, of New York,
will deliver his celebrated lecture, "The
Passing of War." Dr. Hunsberger, foi
merly of Dickinson College, Carlisle, i>>
widely known as a preacher and edu
cator. Hei is said to be a man of im-pressive
personality and engaging man-ner.
The Springfield, Mass., Union says
about Dr. Hunsberger and his lecture :
"So- interesting was his address and so
completely did he hol d the attention of
his hearers that it was an easy matter
to understand how he was able to con-vert
so many people to the side of in-ternational
peace."

LIBRARY HAS HAD
REMARKABLE YEAR
In Proportion to the Population Its
Circulation Exceeds That of ' the
New York Public Librar y—Gain •
Over 1914 is More Than
Sixty-five . Per Cent.
"As a city of readers, New York
leads the world," says the New York
Evening Telegram. "It is as a patron
of libraries, as. a reader of books worth
while, that the city ¦ excels. The an-nual
-report soon to be published by
the New York Public Library will show
the year's circulation of books close to
11,000,000 volumes." The estimated
population of New York City on Janu-ary
1, 1915, was 5,625,000, making.the
circulation 1.95 books per capita.
These are impressive figures, and it
is interesting to compare with them the
1915 record at the Hershey Free Pub-lic
Library. The compa rison shows
that in proportion to the population
there is more reading in Hershey than
in New York.
This year the Hershey Library has
circulated over 13,100 volumes. The
population of Hershey is. 1,600, and of
the surrounding towns and villages
4,400, a total of 6,000 among which trie
membership of the library is distri-buted.
This.gives a circulation of 2.18
books per capita.
The increase over 1914 is. more that.
5,200, a gain of 65.82! per cent. An en-couraging
feature is that twice as many
volumes of ¦ non-fiction have been cir-culated
this year. The idea of adding
profit to pleasure in reading has taken
root, resulting in a greater demand for
serious and informing books.
Director Anderson , of the New York
Public Library, offers • timely advice on
book buying. "Tlie library's first pui-pose
is to lend its books," he says ,
"but . it would not be doing its duty if
it did not encourage its patrons to
own as many books as possible for
themselves. The best way to buy books
is one at a time. It .might seem un-necessary
to give this advice if there
were not on the market so many sets
and 'libraries' of books which are ad-vertised
on 'easy terms.'
"It is best to avoi d buying books in
sets. What matter if your books are
not all the same si?e and style? You
do not insist that all your friends
should be the same height and clad in
the same color of clothing—why should
you try to make your library look like
mi orphan asylum on parade? The li-brary
of a book lover is varied ; the
books are of every color, size and de-scription
; many of them are shabby
and worn, and they are interesting to
bim because he remembers where .and
when lie bough t each hook.
"Do not buy sets with names such
as "Tlie Most Stupendous Classics of
tlie Ages' or 'The Best Brazilian
Bard s' or 'The Libra ry of Bulgarian
Orators.' They will fill up space on
your book shelves, of course, but you
can buy vases and stuffed birds much
cheaper. Buy the books you really
wish to read , not the ones which look
learned nor those which some agent
tells you 'no family should lie with-out.*

HERSHEY LEADS IN
RED CROSS SEALS
More Sold Here Than in Any Other
Dauphin County Town—Number
Used Over Twi ce the Amount
Expected — Consolidated
School Did Well
Toward the great work of fighting
tuberculosis and curing those who
have been unfortunate enough to con-tract
it, Hershey contributed the very
creditable sum or" $230 this year
through the sale of .23,000 Red Cross
Seals. Dr. C. 11. Phillips, chairman of
the Dauphin County Committee, reports
that Hershey's record per capita was
not reached by any other community.
Two weeks ago the. Hershey cam-paign
was organ ized by Dr. Phillips
and John Fox Weiss, Esq., who spoke
at tlie union meeting at the Hershey
Central Theatre. The members-of the
local committee were 'Ezra F. Hershey,
W. IT. Ii. Murrie, Dr. Lawrence Ed-wards,
A. W. Suavely, Geo. 'E. Copen-haver,
Stacy E. Peters, H. A. Newton ,
George ' Eppley, S. D. Clark, J. O.
Moyer, J. E. Snyder and D. R. Meekins.
It was expected that ten thousand
seals might be sold, an increase of
seven thousand over 1914.
AVitii hearty co-operation on the part
of all , the record-breaking number, of
twenty-three thousand seals was dis-posed
of. The children of the M. S.
Hershey Consolidated School aided
splendidly in -the work, disposing of
all the seals allotted to them.
The campaign will bring greater -re-turns
than formerly, because of the ef-forts
of Dr. Phillips to eliminate all
possible expenses in connection with it.
The exact figures will not be known un-til
after the first of the year, when the
committee will meet and prepa re an
itemized account.

Each class wns asked to contributo
something to the success of the pro-gram.
There were some interesting sin
prises. There were songs, recitations,
exercises, and all that goes to make a
good entertainment. The last number
wax the appearance of a "Mamnia "
Santa Olaus with Old Saint Nick. TIU.s

The Christmas service of the Derry
Presbyterian Sunday-school on Christ-mas
eve was'greatly enjoyed by a large
congregation. - Prom the opening num-ber,
"Christmas, Merry' Christmas," to
the closing chorus, "Help to. Make It
True," the program was a complete
success. The most interesting feature
was the part taken by the .primary de
partment. The simple, spontaneous
participation of the little folks was de-lightful
. The exarcises of the scholars
of the main school were more elaborate
and the effect of several of their spe-cial
features was beautiful. "The
Christmas Wreath Drill" and "The
Christmas Bells" were given by a
group of girls, Margaret Miller, Mil-dred
Miller, Lydia Weltmer, Katharine
Weltmer, Carrie Spangler and Aiitoin
etta Bilotti. Several exercises by tht
boys deserve special mention because
of the spirit with which the boys en
tered into the work and the success
with which they carried it through.
These were "Three Christmas Wishes,"
by Charles Black, Charles Mclleffey
and .Tohn McKinne ; "The Christmas
Flag," by Russell Tinney, John Mc-
Kiune and Will Spangler ; and "Some
Christmas Customs." by Charl es Mc-lleffey,
Charles Black. John McKinnc.
Alvih McICinne and . Roy Tinney. Twj.
individual, numbers were much appre-ciated—
a vocal solo, "Lullaby," sun;*
by Miss Reba Kerr, and a. mandolin
solo by Antoinetta Bilotti. Towards
the close of the program prizes were
awarded for faithfulness in attendance.
Books were given to the following
scholars, none of whom missed more
than two days during the year : Lydia
Weltmer, Katheriue .Weltmer, Willis
Dressier, Lewis Cassady, Alverta Bow-man
and Katheriue. Nowlan. After the
benediction there was the usual dis-tribution
of Christmas cheer to . tht
members of the school; Many words
of commendation were heard as the
congregation left the church, express;
ing appreciation of the decoration^
which were some of the most beauti-ful
ever seen in the Derry Church.
The decorations were arranged b>
Mrs. Frank Lemon, Mr. and Mi's. N. A.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS
AT COMMUNITY TREE
Spirit of the Season Express ed in Exer -
cises in Front of the Theatre
Buildin g—Many Present En joy
Occasion Made Possible by
the Mothers ' Club
Tlie warm weather that melted most
of the snow during the week before
Christmas did much to down the .Yule-tide
spirit. That wide-awake organ-ization
, the Mothers" Club, was aware
of this. The suggestion was made
that a community tree and the revival
of the ancient custom of singing carols
would awaken the feeling of gladness
and joy associated with the1 Christmas
season.
A tall , majestic cedar was erected in
front of the Hershey Central Theatre
Building, in the centre of the town , and
illuminated by multi-colored electric
lights. This was a visible reminder of
the approach of Christinas.
Thursday evening the carols were
sung l»y an enthusiastic assembly
which gathered. In spite of the damp,
penetrating atmosphere, to express
their appreciation of the occasion.
Over two hundred were present.
The exercises bega n with a song,
"Joy to the World ," by the Men's Cho-rus,
directed by H. G. Witmeyer. Rev.
George S. Rentz invoked the blessing.
"Silent Night , Holy Night" was splen-didly
sung by. the chorus. A short ad-dress
on the Christmas Spirit was de-livered
by Lynn R. Meekins, editor ol
the Hershey Press. He said that God's
great present to America this year is
peace, and explained the magnitude of
the gift. He praised the work of the
Mothers' Club. In the- concluding soiig,
"America ," the chorus led and the
audience joined.
A SCHOOL OF HAPPINESS
Hershe y Kinder garten Holds Joyful
Celebration
If pure joy and genuine good were
to .be the deciding-factors the prize for
the best thing in Hershey would quick-ly
be awarded to the Kindergarten. And
its Christmas exercises last week would
receive the "palm for excellence and de-light.
The rooms were full of Christmas
decorations and Christmas spirit—all
the work of the children. Streamers or
paper designs, pictures of Santa Glaus,
articles of the Yuletide and all sorts of
holiday ideas showed how adept the
youngsters, had grown ' and how well
well they had been trained. Then, in
the corner was the masterpiece, a real
Christmas tree full of Christinas gifts
made by the childre n for their parents.'
There were calendars that will not be
forgotten because they have photo-graphs
of (lie class, and there were
purses ami ¦other things that will not
be put aside because they were made
by the children . Of course the children
were proud , but you should have seen
the pride of the parents when the lit-tle
opes handed to them the things they
liiul made. II: was lovely.
Over forty children were present aim
over thirty of them took part In the
exercises. Miss Margaret Langworthy
sat. In their channeil circle and direc t-ed
the program , and Miss Esther Hum
tnel presided at, tlie piano and gently
led the soloists over their hard place*.
II, was line to see how the tots all loved
their teacher and competed In answer-ing
her reipiosls. Once when she asked
If anyone would slug a solo twelve
hands went up, and a little miss wus so
anxious to please that , she wanted to
slug two solos. These little songs were
given beautifully and there was iniicn
applause. Then lb" choruses brou ght,
out more applause. 1 AflorwardH came
the games, mid they were very amus-ing
, Klnnlly there were refreshm ents.
