Saturday Night the War on the Fly Begins at Hershey Centra l Theater IF YOU READ THESE FACTS ABOUT WHAT WAS DONE IN CLEVELAND YOU WILL GET AN IDEA OF THE REMARK-ABLE STORY WHICH DR. DAWSON WILL TELL IN WORD AND PICTURE. ALL ASKED TO ATTEND. On Saturday . night the big mass meeting .. to begin . the campaign against the fly and to make Hershey a flyless town will be held in Hershey Central Theater and it is asked that every man, woman and child of Her-shey be present if possible. It is your fight for health and comfort. It means less disease and more of everything worth while, for a flyless town in ad-dition to being the best place as' a residence always enjoys a rise in its real estate values. Other good peo-ple are looking for such a place as a home. The Hershey policy is to attack a problem in the most practical way and the lecture on this fly fight will be by Dr. Dawson, who conducted the campaigns for two years in Cleveland and who accomplished results that were simply wonderful. All the methods, forms and benefits of the two years will be presented, to the people of Hershey by Dr. Dawson. Be sure that you be present and don't forget that the date is. next Saturday night, March 6, the place the Hershey Central Theater and the hour 8 p. m. All the seats are free and none will be reserved. Following the meeting a townwide organization will be formed under William F. R. Murrie, President of the • Hershey Chocolate Company. Those who know Mr. Murrie's genius in organization and his energy and magnetism know that the organiza-tion will be a live one from the start and that it will do the work. The idea is to have Mr. Murrie direct the fight through committees which he will appoint. Dr. Dawson tells of the Cleveland work in a most interesting way and those who have any doubts as to its value should study the facts. How Cleveland Did It "For the past two years a campaign has been waged to put Cleveland on the map as a flyless city. The work has moved forward with vigor," says Dr. Dawson. "The Cleveland public have been stimulated to do battle against the fly from March to Janu-j ary, with the results that they have held the fly in. check to a marked de-gree. The methods of attack have been three-fold, i. e., killing the over-wintering fly before it has a- chance to breed ; trapping and poisoning those that have escaped and are breeding in the city; ridding the city' of the or-ganic filth in which flies can breed. "In the previous campaign, the city fought flies by the first two methods alone. The second year of our cam-paign we determined to go deeper and strike at the roots of the fly nuisance by cleaning away the fly 's breeding places, and thus effectually ridding the city forever of the greatest carri-er of disease known to medical sci-ence, that the work of the campaign of 1913 was continued into midwinter, when frost and snow made the pub-lic forget the pests that infect the summer months. Increased Confidence "With a year's experience to draw upon , we started the campaign, with added hope and not a little assurance, for wo had gained unmistakable ground, Thanks to a number of forces nt work, wo have changed a scoffing, skeptical public , who thought that you might as well try to stop the wind from blowing us to try to rid a community of flics , into one that be-lieves' at least that there is something in it. "The fly docs its deadly work of carrying disease gowns to food so stealthily that man has boon wholly unsuspecting , Even wnon ho does loarn the truth , it is difficult to be-lieve the treachery of an animal that has lived for centuries in such inti-mate relationship with mankind, Had man boon loss trusting, the re-peated accounts of the association of flios with plagues and pestilence re-corded in the Bible might have oauHod him to learn the truth lonn before ho did. "One man, who has spent nearly a half century In tlio Cleveland mark-ets, confessed that it gave him a genuine shock when ho firflt hoard (if our Intentions to rid the city of flies. 'I thought the idea wan wild enough to have originated in the Nowburgh asylum, I couldn 't imagine a sum-mer without flies. Hut I want to apologize. ' "When I saw how well the traps worked and how tlioy reduced the number of flies in our market, I wont to work in earnest, and now there is no olonnor market in the city.' It was true, This same man added: 'I was brought up In the country, and I could not believe that flies breed In stable refuse, untill I kept some ma-nure in a closed box for n few days and actually saw the flies hatching and crawling up. with their wings so wet that it was some time before they could fly. I am satisfied now,' he added, 'and you need never worry about any flies breeding about our stables,' Heading Them Off "The previous year the killing of the over-wintering or mother fly had been so successful in noticeably re-ducing the fly population that it was unanimously agreed to repeat the winter campaign. The distribution of 200,000 swatters among the schools of the city, together with the offer of ten cents a hundred for . all flies brought to the Anti-fly Headquarters in the city hall, served to put a bounty on the head of every fly that ventured from its hiding place. Boys spent their ' leisure hours in the most likely places for flies, while little girls car-ried their swatters back and forth to school, so as to be ready for an un-wary fly that might cross their path. The presence of a fly in a school-room caused so much excitement that work had to be suspended until the fly was dispatched. To avoid undue distur-bance, one teacher made the rule that the first child who saw a fly should leave his seat and get the swatter without attracting unnecessary atten-tion. In all about $500 was spent, repre-senting a catch of fifty thousand mother flies which, had they lived to lay eggs, would have filled the city with a plague of insects. Think of This Picture "It is a fact that a few flies seem many to the Cleveland jeopl e,. but a sensitive public is one of the best as-sets in a fight to eliminate this insect. The day that we- can produce a public with sufficient imagination to picture the flight of a fly, as it emerges from the filth from which, it breeds to tubercular sputum in street and alley, thence to contaminate the food in restaurant, bake-shop, or grocery-store with its germ^Jaclen feet, that day, and no sooner, will the fly-in-fested shop close its doors from lack of patronage. "About every two weeks during the summer women were sent to the lunch-rooms, and to stores retailing food to gain an idea of the effort that was being put forth to keep the peo-ple's food from contamination. The young women estimated the number of flies in each place of business and learned the methods, if any, that were being used' to fight the flies. For in-stance, August 13th, 1,138 groceries, meat markets, candy shops, restau-rants, and miscellaneous food stores were inspected. Of these, 131 were free from flies, 487 had less than ten flies , 514 had more than ten , and less than fifty, and 6 had many. These results are due largely to the general reduction of flies in the city and not to the employment of the more mod-ern methods of catching (lies in traps. Indeed , few merchants were employ-ing methods other than their fathers had employed before them. This is remarkable in that a few minutes spent in baiting a trap, placed on the outside of a store, would save hours of a man 's time, and then , too, get the flies before they could enter and con-taminate the food. "No census of tjho flyless homos was taken. It is safe to say, however, that had there been , the percentage of flyless homos would have far outnum-bered the proportion of (lylosa stores, Children 's Good Work "Children took naturally to the work of cleaning their school district , for oven boys and girls like to fool that their work is important. When conditions wore mot wi th which" they could not cope, a plea for help writ-ton in a childish hand-writing and sent to the Street Gloaming Depart-ment was sure to bring assistance, whenever it wns posslblo. Before the close of the school you r streets wore cleaned , alloys and vncnnt lots ceased to bo dumping grounds, for filth , and the rubbish from buck yards gave way to gardens of flowers and vogo tables," Hero wo have an Intimation of the remarkably Intere sting and valuable story which Dr. Dawson will toll to the llorshoy audience on Saturday night , It will bo at the Ilorshcy Con-trill Theater at 8 p. m. and all seats are Jfroo.

All are invited to attend and this includes those who iivo Interested In kindergarten work, Modern Individual - Accommodations For Twelve Hundred and Sixty Men and Women. No Equip-ment Like it Anywhere in the World. The Lockers In many respects the most com-plete chocolate factory is unique, but in its new rest rooms there is an es-pecial excellence that has no equal in any manufacturing plant in the world. The best of all has been gone over and much has been added and so the result is complete. In the first place the rooms are of noble size. There are four of them, each a hundred feet deep and more than a hundred feet wide. The walls are of stone; the pillars and the floors and the finish are in concrete and the furniture is mainly metal and glass. There is not enough wood in the acres of space for a good bonfire, and all the connecting stairways— broad and handsome they are—are in concrete and iron. It would be im-possible to make a building ,more fire-proof. On the first floor are the lockers, the toilet appurtenances and the lounging rooms, 630 lockers for men and 630 for women.. Each person has a locker, a metal closet nearly five feet high ingeniously fitted with shelf and hooks, so that the belongings may easily stored, and to this there is a key. These lockers are the latest de-signs of the American Company, N. J. The toilet arrangements are of the finest, being in metal and porcelain. All the washing conveniences are spotlessly white. There is a full equipment of fountain drinking cups with a plentiful supply of filtered •water. ' . In these rooms on the first'floor ta-bles will be placed and during the noon, hour the men and women in their respective quarters will play games and make up parties or spend their time in discussions. On this first floor the men will be permitted to smoke. The second story is the show place. Here the two huge rooms of the men and women meet at a white-enclosed well of ample proportions, with wide counters of glass. From this square will be served hot chocolate, coffee and soup. In the rooms are scores of new glass-covered tables, and the whole appearance is that of a great modern restaurant with accommoda-tions for over twelve hundred persons and with such generous spaces that there is no idea of crowding. In fact there is abundance room for social purposes and for groups who will gather to exchange greetings during the rest hour. Practically all the color in these rooms is white but there . are broad bands of yellow on the pillars that give a touch of variety and relief. Abundant light streams through many windows and in the summer there ¦will be a way of keeping the tempera-ture at a comfortable degree. In all these rooms the cleanliness is not only general but radiant , and scientific ventilation keeps the air pure and sweet. In no industrial plant anywhere have the employes such complete fa-cilities as have those of the Hershey Chocolate Company and it is natural that they should take a, particular pride in doing all they personally can to keep them always In prime condi-tion.

Large Audience at Hershey Central Theater Enjoys One of the Most Delightful Programs of the Winter. All Were Good and Many Were Excellent Always ' popular in Hershey the Men's Glee Club of Lebanon Valley College received a warm welcome at the Hershey Central Theater last Saturday night' and presented a varied program so effectively that every number was applauded and the encores were so numerous that the perform-ance was extended to two and a half hours. Everybody was delighted and the final, applause told the visitors that Hershey would like to see them again and that it would always have its best welcome for them. ¦ There were 20 in the party and in evening dress they presented a strik-ing- picture of robust and attractive young manhood. They brought with them the spirit of their college and communicated it to the audience and thus there was a community of fun and interest throughout the evening. The first number was Moir-Robin-sore's Sanctus and it brought out the heavy artillery of the club, showing large voice volume and the ability to attack large things. Following came Sidney Homer's Requiem, sympa-thetically and beautifully sung by Mr. Eichelberger. The elocutionary artist was Mr. Jamison; First he gave Kipling's Gunga Din and did it excellently and later he acted and re-cited "Pro and Con," a pleasant conceit. • "Since Pa Has Bought a Limousine," with good melody and humor, was capitally rendered by the quartette, and Mr. Long and the full strength of the club scored in the " Song of the Camp." Mr. Whitman, the violinist in knick-erbockers, was remarkable. He show-ed real genius. His renditions includ-ed difficult works of Saint-Saens, Massanet, Kreisler and others and he was enthusiastically applauded and encored. He has an exquisitely deli-cate touch and with his natural de-velopment in strength and sureness he will become an unusual artist. "On the Eoad to Mandelay" by Mr. Bender and the club concluded the first part of the program and then came mov-ing pictures for fifteen minutes; Part second opened with Hahn's "My. Neighbor's Garden," well done by the club. In this part was given the sketch, "A Telegram From Dad," in which seven members did some ex-cellent comedy work. The theme was a mix-up in a college room., The star was Mr. Eichelberger as "Mrs. James Rush." It was an almost perfect im-personation acted with great natural-ness and with the true spirit of come-dy. . "She" wore a red dress loud enough to call out the whole fire de-partment and never once did "she" trip over the skirts. Next in merit was Mr. Ernst's work as the village chief of police, but all did well and credit belonged to Messrs Jarnison, Stengle, Long, Berry, and J. A. Long. The gem of the evening was Mr. Bender's rendition of "A Serenade" by Harris. It was admirably done and it won loud applause. Mr. Race was not able to be present and so his solo was omitted , but all the other numbers wore given and tho conclud-ing choruses by tho club ended a con-ceit that will be long remembered by all who had the good fortune to bo present.

Hershey Baseball Club in Central League; Robin Marquart Manager JOINT MEETING OF COMMITTEES OF HERSHEY MEN'S CLUB A TURNING POINT IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME IN THIS TOWN. NOW THERE WILL BE A . FINE SEASON WITH PLENTY OF REAL GAMES. It will be the greatest and finest baseball season Hershey has ever known, Arrangements to that . end have been made and the details are being perfected. Hershey is how- a mem-ber of . the Central Pennsylvania League "which comprises these six towns: HERSHEY HARRISBURG i STEELTON MIDDLETOWN HIGHSPIRE NEW CUMBERLAND , . The season will open May 1 and continue to September 18. So far 25 games have been scheduled. On Decoration Day and on July 4 two games will be played by the clubs. Extra games will be added. This League came through last year with financial success. With the addition of Hershey and Harrisburg it will be greatly strengthened and the game will be on a solid liasis. To that end Hershey is taking no chances ; it has determined to do the thing in the best possible way and to make 1915' the banner year in sport. So the club will, be put beyond any financial worries and will be in con-dition to concentrate all its thoughts and efforts on playing ball. Local Committees Meet Tuesday night, the executive com-mittee and the athletic committee of the Hershey Men's Club held a joint meeting with President James Millard presiding/ The following members were present: Executive committee: James W. Millard, J. E. Hills, Dr. H. 'G. Mum-ma, D. S, Graeff , George Hench and J. M. Brandau. Athletic committee: S. D. Clark, George E. Copenhaver, Br. H. G. Mum.ma, Walter Leibfried, L. B. Shoap and F. B. Say lor. Mr. Millard told of the visit of him-self, J. M, Brandau, Dr. H, G, Mumma, L. B. Shoap and Frank B. Saylor as a committee representing Hershey at the meeting of the Central Pennsyl-vania League at Steelton on the 18th of February and of Hershey's applica-tion for membership which had been received with great enthusiasm and promptly accepted. At the same time the league was extended so as to take in Harrisburg also and he was de-lighted to report that tho whole plan had gone through with flying colors and that the future of baseball in Her-shey was assured. The league was very glad to have Hershey take one of the additional franchises and Her-shey was fortunate to get in such good company, Manager Elected Mr. Millard's report was received with much favor and the . interchange of views united in the opinion that now was the time to make baseball a permanent institution in Hershey and to put the whole game beyond any chance operation. First a good .man-ager was wanted and the man was found in Robin Marquart who was elected unanimously. Mr. Marquart is one of the most efficient and most popular men in Hershey. He has been in Y. M. C. A. work all; his life; he knows athletics and athletic man-agement and he is a 99th degree base-ball fan. He came to Hershey four years ago from Wooster College, O. All the local players like him and the choice was the most fortunate that could be made. Players and Grounds All the old players of last year will be given a chance on the new team. Already there are many new appli-cants. Several crack college players will be herei This season the whole management will be on a high plane'. The players will receive proper train-ing and compensation and the game will be keyed up to efficiency and re-sponsibility. The result will be not a few good contests with a few good clubs " that might be scheduled as in past seasons but a regular series run-ning through the whole summer. The Central Pennsylvania League was successful last year and it is planning for . larger things in 1915. All its towns are profitable and thus the support of first-class clubs is an easy proposition. Hershey will meet these requirements and one of the de-cisions of Tuesday night's meeting was to get behind the club , the solid support and sentiment of the public. To that end a booster campaign will soon be started. Already work on the new grass dia-mond in the Park athletic field has been begun. It is the greatest im-provement that has been made since the field was constructed and it will give Hershey one of the finest ball grounds in the country. New Program to Absolutely Isolate Germany and Austria The blfr war has entered its 8th month with Germany still fighting outside Its own boundaries, On tho Eastern front Germany and Austria have now 2,080,000 troops ; on the western .front the Germans have 1,- 880,000. The Allies have more, so that the total number of troops in tho field is lnrgely in excess of eigh t mil-lions', a number so gigantic that it is without comparison in tho world's his-tory. This week Premier Aisqulth stated in Parliament that tho war Is costing IjiT.fiOO^OO daily to tho Allies alone and that this sum will soon bo in-creased to 1)58,500,000 daily. The cost to Germany, Austria and Turkey may not ho so great, but tho total cost to all tho fighters is between $12,000,000 and $15,000,000 daily. Tho most drastic policy was announced by Groat Britain this wook. It is in reply to Germany 's effort to put a war zone around that country by submarines. Tho Intention of Great fcJiitain and Franco Is to absolutely isolate Ger-many hixI Austria; to cut off from thorn commodities of ovory sort, as well us to prevent them from export-ing any poods whatsoever. Not only will trade bo stopped In any com-modity with Germany or Austria , but Britain ulso will stop exports to neutral European countries of any goods intended for re-exportation to Goj 'Hinny or Austria, This Is tho re-ply of the Allies to tho Gorman war-faro of Hiibmarinos against ' private shipping , For the loss than a dozen small ships which tho Qormnns have sunk in this warfare thoy have won eomploto isolation. Tho Teutons must lltfUt the war henceforth on what thoy linvo, Thoy will ho allowed neither to liny nor to soil. Every ounce of An|do-Froneh sea po-wor is to bo thrown , into this programme, with which the Alllos hope to bring the struggle to a speedy end. Every ship found on tho high seas having on board either goods de-stined for Germany _ or Austria or owned by 'citizens of 'those States will bo solKod ' by the British mid French war sh ips. Pro gress of the War Archaeolo gy and the Bible Unusually Interesting Lecture Sunday Afternoon Frederick B. Wright of Washington held a largo audience for much over an hour Sunday afternoon by a re-markably interesting series of photo-graphs and an illuminating talk .on archaeology and the Bible. It was one of the most informing lectures ever heard in Hershey, It was in the highest degree useful because it made tho Bible more real. One gassed upon writings , buildings , records five and six thousand years old and saw cities that had boon dug fifty foot or more from the ground. The buried had been ' brought to lig-lit to show tho realities of what wo have long boon rending in tho Bible It was also shown that many of tho things wo call modern wore in use by the ancients thousands of years ago. Again tho union services Sunday afternoon proved their usefulness and popularity. Paul M. Gingrich was tho lender for tho day. Tho con-gregational singing was excellent. Thoro will bo another illustrated lecture next Sunday. It will bo "Art as a Factor of Life," by J, Lorenzo Zwiclcoy, of Detroit , Mich.

The day that we- can produce a public with sufficient imagination to picture the flight of a fly, as it emerges from the filth from which, it breeds to tubercular sputum in street and alley, thence to contaminate the food in restaurant, bake-shop, or grocery-store with its germ^Jaclen feet, that day, and no sooner, will the fly-in-fested shop close its doors from lack of patronage. "About every two weeks during the summer women were sent to the lunch-rooms, and to stores retailing food to gain an idea of the effort that was being put forth to keep the peo-ple's food from contamination. The young women estimated the number of flies in each place of business and learned the methods, if any, that were being used' to fight the flies. For in-stance, August 13th, 1,138 groceries, meat markets, candy shops, restau-rants, and miscellaneous food stores were inspected. Of these, 131 were free from flies, 487 had less than ten flies , 514 had more than ten , and less than fifty, and 6 had many. These results are due largely to the general reduction of flies in the city and not to the employment of the more mod-ern methods of catching (lies in traps. Indeed , few merchants were employ-ing methods other than their fathers had employed before them. This is remarkable in that a few minutes spent in baiting a trap, placed on the outside of a store, would save hours of a man 's time, and then , too, get the flies before they could enter and con-taminate the food. "No census of tjho flyless homos was taken. It is safe to say, however, that had there been , the percentage of flyless homos would have far outnum-bered the proportion of (lylosa stores, Children 's Good Work "Children took naturally to the work of cleaning their school district , for oven boys and girls like to fool that their work is important. When conditions wore mot wi th which" they could not cope, a plea for help writ-ton in a childish hand-writing and sent to the Street Gloaming Depart-ment was sure to bring assistance, whenever it wns posslblo. Before the close of the school you r streets wore cleaned , alloys and vncnnt lots ceased to bo dumping grounds, for filth , and the rubbish from buck yards gave way to gardens of flowers and vogo tables," Hero wo have an Intimation of the remarkably Intere sting and valuable story which Dr. Dawson will toll to the llorshoy audience on Saturday night , It will bo at the Ilorshcy Con-trill Theater at 8 p. m. and all seats are Jfroo.

No Equip-ment Like it Anywhere in the World. The Lockers In many respects the most com-plete chocolate factory is unique, but in its new rest rooms there is an es-pecial excellence that has no equal in any manufacturing plant in the world. The best of all has been gone over and much has been added and so the result is complete. In the first place the rooms are of noble size. There are four of them, each a hundred feet deep and more than a hundred feet wide. The walls are of stone; the pillars and the floors and the finish are in concrete and the furniture is mainly metal and glass. There is not enough wood in the acres of space for a good bonfire, and all the connecting stairways— broad and handsome they are—are in concrete and iron. It would be im-possible to make a building ,more fire-proof. On the first floor are the lockers, the toilet appurtenances and the lounging rooms, 630 lockers for men and 630 for women.. Each person has a locker, a metal closet nearly five feet high ingeniously fitted with shelf and hooks, so that the belongings may easily stored, and to this there is a key. These lockers are the latest de-signs of the American Company, N. J. The toilet arrangements are of the finest, being in metal and porcelain. All the washing conveniences are spotlessly white. There is a full equipment of fountain drinking cups with a plentiful supply of filtered •water. ' . In these rooms on the first'floor ta-bles will be placed and during the noon, hour the men and women in their respective quarters will play games and make up parties or spend their time in discussions. On this first floor the men will be permitted to smoke. The second story is the show place. Here the two huge rooms of the men and women meet at a white-enclosed well of ample proportions, with wide counters of glass. From this square will be served hot chocolate, coffee and soup. In the rooms are scores of new glass-covered tables, and the whole appearance is that of a great modern restaurant with accommoda-tions for over twelve hundred persons and with such generous spaces that there is no idea of crowding. In fact there is abundance room for social purposes and for groups who will gather to exchange greetings during the rest hour. Practically all the color in these rooms is white but there . are broad bands of yellow on the pillars that give a touch of variety and relief. Abundant light streams through many windows and in the summer there ¦will be a way of keeping the tempera-ture at a comfortable degree. In all these rooms the cleanliness is not only general but radiant , and scientific ventilation keeps the air pure and sweet. In no industrial plant anywhere have the employes such complete fa-cilities as have those of the Hershey Chocolate Company and it is natural that they should take a, particular pride in doing all they personally can to keep them always In prime condi-tion.

Large Audience at Hershey Central Theater Enjoys One of the Most Delightful Programs of the Winter. All Were Good and Many Were Excellent Always ' popular in Hershey the Men's Glee Club of Lebanon Valley College received a warm welcome at the Hershey Central Theater last Saturday night' and presented a varied program so effectively that every number was applauded and the encores were so numerous that the perform-ance was extended to two and a half hours. Everybody was delighted and the final, applause told the visitors that Hershey would like to see them again and that it would always have its best welcome for them. ¦ There were 20 in the party and in evening dress they presented a strik-ing- picture of robust and attractive young manhood. They brought with them the spirit of their college and communicated it to the audience and thus there was a community of fun and interest throughout the evening. The first number was Moir-Robin-sore's Sanctus and it brought out the heavy artillery of the club, showing large voice volume and the ability to attack large things. Following came Sidney Homer's Requiem, sympa-thetically and beautifully sung by Mr. Eichelberger. The elocutionary artist was Mr. Jamison; First he gave Kipling's Gunga Din and did it excellently and later he acted and re-cited "Pro and Con," a pleasant conceit. • "Since Pa Has Bought a Limousine," with good melody and humor, was capitally rendered by the quartette, and Mr. Long and the full strength of the club scored in the " Song of the Camp." Mr. Whitman, the violinist in knick-erbockers, was remarkable. He show-ed real genius. His renditions includ-ed difficult works of Saint-Saens, Massanet, Kreisler and others and he was enthusiastically applauded and encored. He has an exquisitely deli-cate touch and with his natural de-velopment in strength and sureness he will become an unusual artist. "On the Eoad to Mandelay" by Mr. Bender and the club concluded the first part of the program and then came mov-ing pictures for fifteen minutes; Part second opened with Hahn's "My. Neighbor's Garden," well done by the club. In this part was given the sketch, "A Telegram From Dad," in which seven members did some ex-cellent comedy work. The theme was a mix-up in a college room., The star was Mr. Eichelberger as "Mrs. James Rush." It was an almost perfect im-personation acted with great natural-ness and with the true spirit of come-dy. . "She" wore a red dress loud enough to call out the whole fire de-partment and never once did "she" trip over the skirts. Next in merit was Mr. Ernst's work as the village chief of police, but all did well and credit belonged to Messrs Jarnison, Stengle, Long, Berry, and J. A. Long. The gem of the evening was Mr. Bender's rendition of "A Serenade" by Harris. It was admirably done and it won loud applause. Mr. Race was not able to be present and so his solo was omitted , but all the other numbers wore given and tho conclud-ing choruses by tho club ended a con-ceit that will be long remembered by all who had the good fortune to bo present.

Hershey Baseball Club in Central League; Robin Marquart Manager JOINT MEETING OF COMMITTEES OF HERSHEY MEN'S CLUB A TURNING POINT IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME IN THIS TOWN. NOW THERE WILL BE A . FINE SEASON WITH PLENTY OF REAL GAMES. It will be the greatest and finest baseball season Hershey has ever known, Arrangements to that . end have been made and the details are being perfected. Hershey is how- a mem-ber of . the Central Pennsylvania League "which comprises these six towns: HERSHEY HARRISBURG i STEELTON MIDDLETOWN HIGHSPIRE NEW CUMBERLAND , . The season will open May 1 and continue to September 18. So far 25 games have been scheduled. On Decoration Day and on July 4 two games will be played by the clubs. Extra games will be added. This League came through last year with financial success. With the addition of Hershey and Harrisburg it will be greatly strengthened and the game will be on a solid liasis. To that end Hershey is taking no chances ; it has determined to do the thing in the best possible way and to make 1915' the banner year in sport. So the club will, be put beyond any financial worries and will be in con-dition to concentrate all its thoughts and efforts on playing ball. Local Committees Meet Tuesday night, the executive com-mittee and the athletic committee of the Hershey Men's Club held a joint meeting with President James Millard presiding/ The following members were present: Executive committee: James W. Millard, J. E. Hills, Dr. H. 'G. Mum-ma, D. S, Graeff , George Hench and J. M. Brandau. Athletic committee: S. D. Clark, George E. Copenhaver, Br. H. G. Mum.ma, Walter Leibfried, L. B. Shoap and F. B. Say lor. Mr. Millard told of the visit of him-self, J. M, Brandau, Dr. H, G, Mumma, L. B. Shoap and Frank B. Saylor as a committee representing Hershey at the meeting of the Central Pennsyl-vania League at Steelton on the 18th of February and of Hershey's applica-tion for membership which had been received with great enthusiasm and promptly accepted. At the same time the league was extended so as to take in Harrisburg also and he was de-lighted to report that tho whole plan had gone through with flying colors and that the future of baseball in Her-shey was assured. The league was very glad to have Hershey take one of the additional franchises and Her-shey was fortunate to get in such good company, Manager Elected Mr. Millard's report was received with much favor and the . interchange of views united in the opinion that now was the time to make baseball a permanent institution in Hershey and to put the whole game beyond any chance operation. First a good .man-ager was wanted and the man was found in Robin Marquart who was elected unanimously. Mr. Marquart is one of the most efficient and most popular men in Hershey. He has been in Y. M. C. A. work all; his life; he knows athletics and athletic man-agement and he is a 99th degree base-ball fan. He came to Hershey four years ago from Wooster College, O. All the local players like him and the choice was the most fortunate that could be made. Players and Grounds All the old players of last year will be given a chance on the new team. Already there are many new appli-cants. Several crack college players will be herei This season the whole management will be on a high plane'. The players will receive proper train-ing and compensation and the game will be keyed up to efficiency and re-sponsibility. The result will be not a few good contests with a few good clubs " that might be scheduled as in past seasons but a regular series run-ning through the whole summer. The Central Pennsylvania League was successful last year and it is planning for . larger things in 1915. All its towns are profitable and thus the support of first-class clubs is an easy proposition. Hershey will meet these requirements and one of the de-cisions of Tuesday night's meeting was to get behind the club , the solid support and sentiment of the public. To that end a booster campaign will soon be started. Already work on the new grass dia-mond in the Park athletic field has been begun. It is the greatest im-provement that has been made since the field was constructed and it will give Hershey one of the finest ball grounds in the country. New Program to Absolutely Isolate Germany and Austria The blfr war has entered its 8th month with Germany still fighting outside Its own boundaries, On tho Eastern front Germany and Austria have now 2,080,000 troops ; on the western .front the Germans have 1,- 880,000. The Allies have more, so that the total number of troops in tho field is lnrgely in excess of eigh t mil-lions', a number so gigantic that it is without comparison in tho world's his-tory. This week Premier Aisqulth stated in Parliament that tho war Is costing IjiT.fiOO^OO daily to tho Allies alone and that this sum will soon bo in-creased to 1)58,500,000 daily. The cost to Germany, Austria and Turkey may not ho so great, but tho total cost to all tho fighters is between $12,000,000 and $15,000,000 daily. Tho most drastic policy was announced by Groat Britain this wook. It is in reply to Germany 's effort to put a war zone around that country by submarines. Tho Intention of Great fcJiitain and Franco Is to absolutely isolate Ger-many hixI Austria; to cut off from thorn commodities of ovory sort, as well us to prevent them from export-ing any poods whatsoever. Not only will trade bo stopped In any com-modity with Germany or Austria , but Britain ulso will stop exports to neutral European countries of any goods intended for re-exportation to Goj 'Hinny or Austria, This Is tho re-ply of the Allies to tho Gorman war-faro of Hiibmarinos against ' private shipping , For the loss than a dozen small ships which tho Qormnns have sunk in this warfare thoy have won eomploto isolation. Tho Teutons must lltfUt the war henceforth on what thoy linvo, Thoy will ho allowed neither to liny nor to soil. Every ounce of An|do-Froneh sea po-wor is to bo thrown , into this programme, with which the Alllos hope to bring the struggle to a speedy end. Every ship found on tho high seas having on board either goods de-stined for Germany _ or Austria or owned by 'citizens of 'those States will bo solKod ' by the British mid French war sh ips. Pro gress of the War Archaeolo gy and the Bible Unusually Interesting Lecture Sunday Afternoon Frederick B. Wright of Washington held a largo audience for much over an hour Sunday afternoon by a re-markably interesting series of photo-graphs and an illuminating talk .on archaeology and the Bible. It was one of the most informing lectures ever heard in Hershey, It was in the highest degree useful because it made tho Bible more real. One gassed upon writings , buildings , records five and six thousand years old and saw cities that had boon dug fifty foot or more from the ground. The buried had been ' brought to lig-lit to show tho realities of what wo have long boon rending in tho Bible It was also shown that many of tho things wo call modern wore in use by the ancients thousands of years ago. Again tho union services Sunday afternoon proved their usefulness and popularity. Paul M. Gingrich was tho lender for tho day. Tho con-gregational singing was excellent. Thoro will bo another illustrated lecture next Sunday. It will bo "Art as a Factor of Life," by J, Lorenzo Zwiclcoy, of Detroit , Mich.
