Tho work in practical and Interesting , There Was a Fine Crowd and the Speeches Were Far Above the Average. Mr. Snyder Spoke For the Home People Good Music by Band More than three hundred turned out at the big Eepublican rally last Thurs-day night. -It was one of the best po-litical meetings held in Hershey. Many came in automobiles from neighboring towns and the surround-ing country. The attention was ex-cellent and the crowd stayed to the end of the speechmaking. In honor of Frank B. Snavely, candidate for Director of the. Poor, nearly all. the candidates on the Re-publican ticket attended and most of th em made addresses. George Ew Copenhaver, whom the orators in-sisted on calling Professor, made a capital presiding officer, and his short, snappy speeches of introduction had much to do with the success of the evening. Gabriel H. Moyer, of Palmyra, started the oratory by a speech that pleased the audience and elicited much applause. He praised all the candi-dates and declared, that first, last and all the tirne he was for the success of the Repu blican party. • He empha-sized its greatness and the greatness of Pennsylvania and he told of the glory and manhood of Lebanon Val-ley. The whole speech was on high lines and he carried his hearers .with him. Mr. Snavely is the only genuine nominee Hershey has ever had on a party ticket and so there was every disposition to show how loyal local sentiment was to him and his candi-dacy. "When he was introduced he was given a rousing reception and he repaid it all by making a gem of a speech in which he said little of him-self but much of his fellow candidates whom he had grown to love as- the campaign had proceeded. "His asso-ciates all testified in their speeches and in private conversation that Mr. Snavely is one of the best campaign-ers they have ever known and that he was not only increasing his own popu-larity in his tour but greatly strength-ening the whole ticket. They : attri-buted it to his winning personality and they were confident that he would poll a big vote. Fernando Loudermilch is the other candidate for Director of the Poor and Hershey gave him a handsome recep-tion as Frank Snavely's running mate ¦ as well as for his own cause. Mr. Wickersham, the lawyer of Harrisburg, formerly District Attor-ney, made one of the long speeches of the evening. He scored at every point. He is a graceful orator with a captivating voice that reaches far, and the crowd enjoyed every minute of his address. He emphasized the point that the ticket was the product of the primaries expressing the will of tho people and that it had no ear-marks of any boss or faction. His tribute to Mr. Snavely was hearty and complete He was warmly applauded. John E. Snyder , Esq., was asked to say something as the spokesman of the community, and although respond-ing on the spur of the moment, he mado a speech that could not have been better if he had spent hours in its preparation . Ho vouched for Frank Snavely and said that while he wou Id doubtless bo the Director of the Poor he could never by any possi-bility be a poor director , and If the Poor farm was really a poor farm it would bo a good farm boforo Frank Snavely got through with it, Mr. Snyder declared that tho candidates present had mado a fine impression and it looked to him ns though tho votors could not do bettor thuu .to elect tliem all . Mr. Wickersham had said that ho cared nothing for the equal sufrrugo issue. He did care and ho was-'going to vote for it becauso ho believed it to bo a good thing. Mr. Snydor spoke Ilorshoy 's woleome vory gracefully nnd a round of applauso grootetl him ns ho concluded . Thoro wore more good spoochos , with cordial welcomes to James E. LontK , Candida to for Recorder of Doods, Henry W. Gough , candidate for County Controller , Mark Mumma , candidate for County Troasuror , and others. Tho ¦ concluding speech was by Michael 13. Stroup, eandidnto for ro-olocUon as District Attornoy. Mr. Wlckoi'sham had said much about Mr. Stroup 's lino record and qualifications and had laid stress on tho point that previous District Attorneys had boon given two torniH each , and told of Mr, Stroup's work in driving out the loan slmi'kn and In giving froo .legal ser-vice to poor men who could not niford to hire lawyoi'H when thoy needed them. Ml-.

Kraft 's Race With Weather On the New Home of the Press Every Minute Being Utilized to Get All the Concreting Done Before the Cold Begins. A Fine Piece ' of Construction. • Men Do Their Best The greatest single job of construc-tion going on in the Lebanon Valley is the building of the. new home of the Press. It is an immense structure 90 by 334 feet, three stories .on the up-per end and four ' stories in the .lower half , and it runs the whole length of a city block. Next to the factory which covers 35 acres of floor space it is the biggest thing in Hershey. This . building is the finest piece of reinforced concrete work in the state and it attracts attention of people from all parts of the country. Its first floor will stand 500 pounds to the inch. , The main half was completed so far as the concrete work is concerned, two months ago and the brick is now ready for the finishing, but the steel mills are far behind in all their orders and the work is waiting- for the steel door and window frames. They are promised within a couple of weeks definitely and if the promises are kept—^other promises were not—the first half will be fully enclosed by Christmas. But the race is on the second half, the fbur stories extending 183 feet to the railroad. The effort is to get the concreting done before winter. All is well up to the second story and the frames for the third story are being built this week. The whole place is a scene of bustling activity with Al. Kraft driving his men with all his energy and enthusiasm. It is stirring to watch it and there are usually many spectators. From the floors of the great build-ing are splendid views of Lebanon Valley and the mountains. A Free Sewing Machine Free It "Was Presented to Mrs. John A. Smith of Lyonsville There was a lively and interesting time in the Hershey Store last Satur-day afternoon and the large crowd thoroughly enjoyed it. Mr. Windle gave a demonstration of the new im-proved Free Sewing Machine. He showed its many advantages and even the men could understand. . The event was made doubly inter-esting by the presentation of one of the machines to Mrs. John A. Smith of Lyonsville. Mrs. Smith , was greatly surprised and thoroughly de-lighted and she was , generally con-gratulated. The Free is the latest machine and the presentation was for the purpose of advertising it among the Hershey customers. ' , Hershey Band at its Best The free concert given by tho Her-shey Band Friday night in the Her-shey Central Theater was one of the best ever heard in the town, This body of skilled musicians never play-ed better than it is doing now. The program was varied and enjoyabl e und Director Feeso and his artists re-ceived much warm applause, The concei ts will be continued evory Fri-day evening. The Junior Gymnasium The Junior gymnasium has been di-vided into two classes. Girls from the ages of 7 to 10 years will meet on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock and will be known as the Sunshino class. This class will carry out some of the work dono by tho Blue Birds in tho Camp Fire organization, Tho other class will ho mado up of girls from the ages of 10 to 12 years and will moot on Tuesday afternoons, Thoy will bo lenown as tho Loyalty Club. Club Doing Good Work The Onward Club of tho Young Womon 's Christian Association mot at the association on Tuesday ovoning and hold their somi-unntiul election of ofllcors which resulted as follows : President , Miss Mary Snydor; Vico President , Miss MU'/.ahoth Plant/.; Secretary, Miss Anna Lontyj Treas-ure , MIhs Larch.

Eight New Members Added The recognition services of tho'Up-rJ'o- l.')alo club of tho Young Women 's ChrlHtlun Association will bo hold next Wednesday ovoning at which time , about eight now members will bo added, This club Is also doing ex-cellent work in tha association and has nearly every member represent-ed In tho educational classes, Plan to Instal a Route of Modern Road That Will be a Parallel to the Lincoln Highway. Its Many Advantages. The De-tails of the Plan • . A great project in which Hershey is deeply interested is the new Wil-liam Penn Highway. It Was recom-mended by a commission of engineers appointed by the Legislature . some years ago and it is now revived with the cordial favor of leading men, in-cluding Governor Brumbaugh. The William Penn Highway will . pass through Hershey, It will be of great advantage to Hershey travel. It will extend from Pittsburg to Philadelphia and will he of lower grade than the Lincoln Highway which is the southerly route through Lancaster and other counties. It will start at Pittsburg and fol-low the main State highway from that city to Greensburg, thence to Indiana; . Blairsville, Johnstown, Ebensburg, Altoona, via the Buckhorn road, which is a magnificent concrete highway with curbs and asphalt surface; from Altoona to Hollidaysburg, to Hunting- , don—or to Tyrone and thence to Huntingdon—Mount, Union, Newton Hamilton, MeVeytown, Lewistown, Williamsport, Newport, Duncannon to Harrisburg. From Huntingdon to Harrisburg through the Juniata Valley, Gover-nor Brumbaugh has suggested that the ' road might bear the name "The Juniata Boulevard of the William Penn Highway." It is then proposed frpm Harrisburg the road should lead : to'' Hei{sh'ey ;and thence through the Lebanon valley, touching Palmyra, Annville, Lebanon and .on to Potts-town, Trappe, Norristown and Phila-delphia. , This route would be through an im-portant educational district of Penn-sylvania as well as a territory em-bracing many fine farms and pictur-esque scenery. It would also touch fine cities and large towns. This route, as will be noted , covers an entirely independent highway frem Pittsburg to Philadelphia^ except the section between Pittsburgh and Greensburg. The Harrisburg Tele-graph points out that it would have many advantages over the Lincoln Highway, especially as there will be but one mountain to cross as com-pared to the seven on the present Lincoln route and the scenery is even more attractive than over the route from Chambersburg via Bedford to Pittsburg. It has a river level route and avoids heavy grades. Moving Picture Pro gram The moving picture program .for the next five performances include some of the best features of the day. The audiences continue large. The new pictures are as follows : Tonight—Thursday—A Pathe feat-ure, "A Leap for Life,' a thrilling drama. Saturday night , October 30—Daniel Frohman presents William Farnum iir "The Sign of the Cross," by Wilson Barrett. Monday, November 1—"The Gilded Fool." Wednesday, November 3—^Daniel Frohman presents the distinguished American actor , H. B. Warner in the celebrated drama of "Capital and La-bor." Admission to all those plays is 5 cents and the pictures begin at 8 o'clock. Thoro will be nn extra feat-ure tonight and also on Saturday night. The Criterions Score Well The Men 's Club course opened with ,tJio Criterions and tho momhors of this company gavo one of the host concerts heard in tho Contrn l Theater. It was much applauded , Owing to the weather the attendance was not i,p lo expectations, School Notes Juniors and SoniorH will entertain tho Sophomores and Freshman on Monday ovoning in tho School build-ing. This is tho first of a series of school soeials to bo hold during the year. On Monday evening of this wook tho teachers of tho public schools ac-companied by Mr. Deekort and Mr. Copenhaver of tho Industrial school ¦ vlstod the American Iron and Stool Works at Lebanon.

There Was a Fine Crowd and the
Speeches Were Far Above the
Average. Mr. Snyder Spoke
For the Home People
Good Music by Band
More than three hundred turned out
at the big Eepublican rally last Thurs-day
night. -It was one of the best po-litical
meetings held in Hershey.
Many came in automobiles from
neighboring towns and the surround-ing
country. The attention was ex-cellent
and the crowd stayed to the
end of the speechmaking.
In honor of Frank B. Snavely,
candidate for Director of the. Poor,
nearly all. the candidates on the Re-publican
ticket attended and most of
th em made addresses. George Ew
Copenhaver, whom the orators in-sisted
on calling Professor, made a
capital presiding officer, and his short,
snappy speeches of introduction had
much to do with the success of the
evening.
Gabriel H. Moyer, of Palmyra,
started the oratory by a speech that
pleased the audience and elicited much
applause. He praised all the candi-dates
and declared, that first, last and
all the tirne he was for the success of
the Repu blican party. • He empha-sized
its greatness and the greatness
of Pennsylvania and he told of the
glory and manhood of Lebanon Val-ley.
The whole speech was on high
lines and he carried his hearers .with
him.
Mr. Snavely is the only genuine
nominee Hershey has ever had on a
party ticket and so there was every
disposition to show how loyal local
sentiment was to him and his candi-dacy.
"When he was introduced he
was given a rousing reception and he
repaid it all by making a gem of a
speech in which he said little of him-self
but much of his fellow candidates
whom he had grown to love as- the
campaign had proceeded. "His asso-ciates
all testified in their speeches
and in private conversation that Mr.
Snavely is one of the best campaign-ers
they have ever known and that he
was not only increasing his own popu-larity
in his tour but greatly strength-ening
the whole ticket. They : attri-buted
it to his winning personality
and they were confident that he would
poll a big vote.
Fernando Loudermilch is the other
candidate for Director of the Poor and
Hershey gave him a handsome recep-tion
as Frank Snavely's running mate
¦ as well as for his own cause. Mr. Wickersham, the lawyer of
Harrisburg, formerly District Attor-ney,
made one of the long speeches of
the evening. He scored at every
point. He is a graceful orator with
a captivating voice that reaches far,
and the crowd enjoyed every minute
of his address. He emphasized the
point that the ticket was the product
of the primaries expressing the will
of tho people and that it had no ear-marks
of any boss or faction. His
tribute to Mr. Snavely was hearty and
complete He was warmly applauded.
John E. Snyder , Esq., was asked to
say something as the spokesman of
the community, and although respond-ing
on the spur of the moment, he
mado a speech that could not have
been better if he had spent hours in
its preparation . Ho vouched for
Frank Snavely and said that while
he wou Id doubtless bo the Director of
the Poor he could never by any possi-bility
be a poor director , and If the
Poor farm was really a poor farm it
would bo a good farm boforo Frank
Snavely got through with it, Mr.
Snyder declared that tho candidates
present had mado a fine impression
and it looked to him ns though tho
votors could not do bettor thuu .to
elect tliem all . Mr. Wickersham had
said that ho cared nothing for the
equal sufrrugo issue. He did care and
ho was-'going to vote for it becauso
ho believed it to bo a good thing. Mr.
Snydor spoke Ilorshoy 's woleome vory
gracefully nnd a round of applauso
grootetl him ns ho concluded .
Thoro wore more good spoochos ,
with cordial welcomes to James E.
LontK , Candida to for Recorder of
Doods, Henry W. Gough , candidate
for County Controller , Mark Mumma ,
candidate for County Troasuror , and
others. Tho ¦ concluding speech was
by Michael 13. Stroup, eandidnto for
ro-olocUon as District Attornoy. Mr.
Wlckoi'sham had said much about Mr.
Stroup 's lino record and qualifications
and had laid stress on tho point that
previous District Attorneys had boon
given two torniH each , and told of Mr,
Stroup's work in driving out the loan
slmi'kn and In giving froo .legal ser-vice
to poor men who could not niford

Kraft 's Race With Weather
On the New Home of the Press
Every Minute Being Utilized to Get
All the Concreting Done Before
the Cold Begins. A Fine
Piece ' of Construction.
• Men Do Their Best
The greatest single job of construc-tion
going on in the Lebanon Valley
is the building of the. new home of the
Press. It is an immense structure 90
by 334 feet, three stories .on the up-per
end and four ' stories in the .lower
half , and it runs the whole length of
a city block. Next to the factory
which covers 35 acres of floor space it
is the biggest thing in Hershey.
This . building is the finest piece of
reinforced concrete work in the state
and it attracts attention of people
from all parts of the country. Its
first floor will stand 500 pounds to the
inch. ,
The main half was completed so far
as the concrete work is concerned, two
months ago and the brick is now
ready for the finishing, but the steel
mills are far behind in all their orders
and the work is waiting- for the steel
door and window frames. They are
promised within a couple of weeks
definitely and if the promises are
kept—^other promises were not—the
first half will be fully enclosed by
Christmas.
But the race is on the second half,
the fbur stories extending 183 feet to
the railroad. The effort is to get the
concreting done before winter. All is
well up to the second story and the
frames for the third story are being
built this week. The whole place is
a scene of bustling activity with Al.
Kraft driving his men with all his
energy and enthusiasm. It is stirring
to watch it and there are usually
many spectators.
From the floors of the great build-ing
are splendid views of Lebanon
Valley and the mountains.
