Kegerreis Registrar

to 30 years of age-, inclusive must

everyone with no exemption. It means
the young man .who is 21 or on before
June 5. If the young man is 31
before June 5 he need not register. The

chairman of the county board. All
registrars serve without pay.
Bear in mind that in the matter oi
exemption no one within the ages 21 to
30 inclusive is exempted. The matter of

To make clear the understanding
Governor Brumbaugh issues the following
proclamation:
• "I have been asked by many people
what exemptions are to be made by the
national government in the matter of the
Act of Congress of May 18, 1917: Regis-tration
has been confused with conscrip-tion
and that the minds of all may be
informed I hereby state—
"I. All male citizens between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty, both
years inclusive, must register on June
fifth next. There are no exceptions to
this whatever. All races, all creeds
and conditions must alike conform to
this Act of Congress and present them-selves
for registration at their several
voting precincts on the day-named above.
"II. Following this registration the
President will take such steps as he may
deem wise to enroll in the army and navy
such registered persons as he may deem
necessary.
"The Act of Congress, however, ex-empts
from military service under this
law such registered persons as are: (1)
Officials of the legislative, executive and
judicial departments of the United States
government, the state government, the
territorial government and the District of
Columbia.
"(2) Regularly or duly ordained minis-ters
of religion, students who are at this
time preparing for the ministry in recog-nized
theological or divinity schools;
"(3)'All persons now in the military
and naval service of the United States;
"(4) Members of any well-recognized
religious sect or organization at present
organized and existing and whose existing
creed or principles forbid its members
to participate in war in , any form and
whose religious convictions are against
war or participation therein in accordance
with the creed or principles of said religious
organizations; but no person so exempted
shall be exempted from service in any
capacity that the President shall declare
to be non-combatant,
, "It is important that all citizens and all
registrars shall keep these facts in mind and
while all shall register on Juno 5, 1017, the
four groups above indicated are excluded
from those from whom membership in
the army and navy shall be chosen later
on,"
The So von Points
In its campaign to stimulate interest in
regiHl.ral.ion June 5 for the war army, the
War Department issued n memorandum
emphasizing the seven cardinal points
to be remembered , particularly by men
between the ages of twenty-one and thirty,
inclusive, who will he required to register.
The memorandum follows:
1,-—There is only one day for regis-tration
, Jun e F>, 1917.
2,—Every male resident of the United
Status who has reached Ills twenty-flrst

EVERY MEMBER
SHOULD HELP
What Women arid; Children May Do
To. Help in the Red Cross Work
Hundreds of Thousands of
.,. Soldiers ' Comfort Bags
Are Needed. Advice
What can you in Hershey do' for the
Red Cross? . Every woman should make
a soldier's comfort bag. It is especially
urged that .every young .woman make at
least one of these bags. In the equip-ment
of a base hospital, 500 to 80O of
these bags are required, and, as they are
the one article that the wounded qr sick
soldier is allowed to take with him, there
is constant need for an increased number
of comfort bags.
Miss Boardman, who is active chairman
of the Woman Volunteer Aid advises
that these bags should be made from
bright colored washable material; that
they should be ten by. thirteen inches,
with a drawing string at the top. Bright-colored
tapes should be used to bind the
bags and make the strings.
What Bags Should Contain
. These bags also can be filled by one
or more individuals making them. At
this time, however, they should not put
into them candy, tobacco, and other
articles and other perishables or a "smelly"
article, because it will be necessary to
store these bags, possibly for some time.
The Red Cross will see that chocolates,
tobacco, etc., are supplied as the bags
are distributed.
What goes into the bag : Khaki-colored
sewing cotton, No. 30, for the soldiers, and
black sewing cotton for the sailors; white
sewing cotton No. 30, white darning cot-ton,
needles, No. 5; darning needle, needle
case, buttons, khaki (or blackj and white
medium-sized in bags three inches by five
inches; a large thimble, blunt pointed
scissors, safety pins, a small comb,
toothbrush, small round mirror, hand-kerchiefs,
lead pencils, writing pads,
envelopes and post cards, playing cards,
pocket knife, shoe laces, tan for the
soldiefs and black for the sailors.
When these bags are completed they
should be taken to Red Cross head-quarters.
If any one wishes to make
a bag and have it filled at headquar-ters
the cost of the articles put into it
will be from 50 cents to $1.
$18 to Outfit Bed
Miss Boardman says that it costs ap-proximately
$18 to. outfit each bed with
linens, towels, garments, bandages, etc.
The following supplies are suggested
for those who desire to contribute the
equipment for one patient: Sheets, 6;
pillowcases, 4; pajamas, 3 suits; hos-pital
bed shirts, 4; convalescent gown,
1; socks, 4 pairs; bed socks, 2 pairs; bath
towels, 2; face towels) 4; washclothes, 3;
slippers, 1 pair; hot-water or ice bag
covers, 2.
Besides such surgical supplies as gauze,
bandages, knitted sponges, absorbent
cotton, doctors' and nurses' operating
gowns, oakum pads, etc, the Red Cross
wants the women to supply in large num-bers
pajamas, hospital bed shirts, shoulder
wraps, and bath robes. Small Red Cross
emblems for marking these garments
can be had at headquarters,
For an army base hospital unit of 500
beds, eighty-five boxes of these supplies
are needed. For a navy base hospital
unit of 250 beds forty-four boxes of these
supplies are needed.
Children Can Help
All the children can help by .collect-ing
their games and storing them care-fully
away, for the Red Cross is soon
going to ask all the children of the country
to contribute games [or the sailors on the
warships, the soldiers in camp, and the
wounded in the hospitals,
Miss Mabel T. Boardman sends this
message to all the children: "Soldiers
in camp will be very lonesome and when
their daily routine work is done they
should have games to amuse them.
We will soon have wounded and sick in
hospitals, There is nothing better to
help entertain these men than the games
that have helped to make you happy.
Save up your games, your pictures,
puzzles, and presently the Red Cross will
let you know where to send them , so
that they may bo distributed to the
soldier and sailor, "
FREE CONCERTS IN THE PARK
In Hershey the free daily concerts will
be continued, It is announced by the
Park management that the programs
will ho rendered daily from (itfO until
7:45 P, M, under the direction of John
M, Rhodes of Philadelphia.
ARMY SUPPLIES
An unusually largo number of huge
trucks go through Hershey with army
supplies. This will be one of the main
routes for army transportation.
SEEING THE ANIMALS
There were many visitors to llcrsbcy
Uncle Sunday mid they snout most o(
their time at the Ilurshoy Zoo, The Zoo
Ki-ows more popular every year, '
Some of the Things for Them to See
And Enjoy in Hershey And There

Summer Season. At-tractions
Now Open
• The season of travel to Hershey has
begun and every fine day • brings its
quota, while good Sundays increase the
total. . -
People come to see the town and 'what
it contains.
The present building of a great struc-tural
steel building of six stories in the
very heart of the plant of the Hershey
Chocolate Company prevents them from
seeing how chocolate is made. It would
hot be wise or safe to have visitors where
so much construction is. going on. But
they can see the factory from the outside
and from the doors on Chocolate Avenue
they can get a glimpse Of the big horizon-tal
room in which over two hundred
machines are ceaselessly at work making
the smoothness of the chocolate.
East Hershey with its handsome resi-dences
and the mansion of M. S. Hershey
and the new clubhouse and the lawns
and flowers presents many pictures.
Open to visitors just now is the consoli-dated
public school and it will repay
attention. A walk up Cocoa Avenue
will give an idea of the Hershey homes.
The ' Free library and .the Employment
and Information Bureaus are open all
day and are glad to receive, callers. In
the same building is the Central Theatre
and also at present are the workrooms of
the Red Cross Auxiliary.
Visits should be made to the Trust
Company and Administration Building
and to the Hershey Store. Those who
are interested in such matters should
see the mills, the abbattoir and the lumber
yards and coal yards!
When hungry either the Hershey
Cafe or the Quick Lunch is ready to
serve you, at prices that are hard . to
match in these times of food increases.
Visitors are always welcome at the
printing office and are asked to inspect
its modern plant.
Across the railroad are the -special
summer attractions. One should not
miss the Young Women's Christian
Association and if the visitors are ladies
they may find excellent food at the
cafeteria,
Hershey Park has all the recreations.
Every evening there is a theatrical per-formance.
The Hershey Zoo with its
many animals and birds^-over 200—is
a never-failing place of interest to young
and old, the lion, the bears and monkeys
attracting special attention. Admission
to all parts of the Zoo is entirely free.
In the big pagoda are all sorts of things
for the visitor from a post card to a
fullfiedged meal. Or there is the new
Hershey Cafe with a speciality in meals
and nourishing dishes. The conserva-tories
are open to visitors,
Boating on the lake and later swimming
in the pool draw many. The dancing and
carrousel are very popular, Every party
may get up its own garnes, whether it
be bowling, tennis, baseball or.whatnot.
Then on the edge of the Park is the
Hershey Convention Hall and beyond that
is the Round Barn with its cool fresh
milk and on up the hill is Highland Park
with its flowers and its wonderful moun-tain
views. There is plenty to see in
Hershey.

Park Season And Receive Cor-dial
Applause. Play Is
Well Staged. Plays
Hershey's favorites, the Malloy-Cor-inne
Players, opened the season of the
Hershey Park ( Theatre Monday night
and scored a Splendid success. The play
was "Little Peggy O'Moore" with Hazel
as Peggy and Dan as Matt Hogan, the
Boss. In spite of the cold and the
heavy rain there was a good audience
present and everybody applauded when
Dan came on the stage and
^
later when
Hazel Corinne appeared. Both look
younger than they did a year ago and
there was no doubt about their popularity
in Hershey, a popularity that has grown
each season for years and that is now per-manent.
The Hershey demand for high-grade
performances was fully met. The stage
settings were excellent; the dressing of
the parts was up to city standards and
the air of the whole entertainment was
clean, fine and delightful. /
The company consists of Dave Callis,
Edward McMillan, Emery Blunkall, Earl
Yeadaker, Jessie Lyons and Bessie Shel-don
and there was hot a weak artist in
the list. Their work in the opening per-formances
promises a season of very
attractive entertainment, The special-ities
are all good and a special word should
be said for the merits of the orchestra.
Beginning Thursday night there will
be a change of bill, the new play being
'The Bluffers." This is a comedy which
evokes gales of laughter.
The coming of this gifted company
is always an event in Hershey and it is
hoped the weather man will be • kind
during their stay here.

WARM WELCOME
TO FAVORITES
In the Best Game Played Here This
Season the Local Boys Triumph
Over the Fast Florin Team by
Close Score. Game Was
a Pitchers ' Battle
The Hershey Men's Club baseball team
continued their winning streak by de-feating
the Florin Independents in a hard
fought and exciting game Saturday after-noon
by the score of 2-1. T^he game was
full of exciting plays and incidents, and
soon developed into a . pitcher's battle
between Bishop and Milles with Bishop .
having the better of the argument. The
records show that Bishop had 12 strike-outs
to his credit and Milles lad 7.
Hershey scored in the first inning when
Romig hit for three bases and scored
when Erickson drove a clean single into
centre field. The local boys tallied again
in the sixth inning when Bishop singled,
advanced a base on Foster's, sacrifice,
stole third and came home with the
¦ run needed to win the game when the Florin short-stop made a wild throw to
first . Florin scored their run in the third
inning when Russell walked and took
second owing to a misinterpretation of
the rules. The batter drove a ball down
the first base line and Romig scooped it
up and tagged him before he reached first .
Romig then threw to catch the runner
going to second. The ball arrived there
ahead of the runner but Erickson think-ing
that it was a forced play neglected to
tag the man, simpl y standing on the bag.
The referee called the man out and the
Florin players protested, claiming that
the play was not forced, Hinkle, bench
manager of the local team, sustained the
protest and the man was permitted to
retain his bag, He scored a few minutes
later on a single. Upon consulting the
rule book after the game it was ascertained
that the man was safe.
A fair-sized crowd witnessed the game
but the management is desirous of draw-ing
a larger attendance and there is no
reason why the game should not be
patronized as the local boys are playing
a sterling brand of ball and have already
defeated some fast aggregations, The
