On Friday arid Saturday, April 20th arid
21st, the annual Red Cross Roll will-be
held. There will be booth s at the " post-office,
bank and store , and every person,
men and women, should feel it a privilege
to enroll in this worthy cause.
The Red Cross fulfills obligations created
by the war, and adapts its experience and
machinery to the need,s of peace. ¦ - -
It assists governmental agencies in the
care and cheer of our disabled soldiers and
sailors; in replacing those able to work in
civilian occupations and in counselling
and aiding the families of former combat-ants,
and still assists in the.process of re-habilitation
in some of the more prostrated
countries of Europe and Near East.
It has placed public-health nurses in
many localities and has endeavored to
enlist greater number of young women in
the nursing profession , in order that the
supply might more equal the steadily in-creasing
demand for community nurses. It
has devised a scheme of public-health
centers for the relief of maladies and for
instruction by hygiene, dietetics and
general principles of disease- prevention.
With its nurses and nurses' aides it
renders incalculable service in the serious
epidemics, famine and disaster. It carries
instructions in hygiene and first aid into
schools, the women's clubs and the homes
of our country. It has tau ght young and
untaught mothers how to care intelligently
for their babies, and has done much in
many ways to promote child welfare , upon
which the welfare of the nation rests.
It promotes its educational work among
the school children throu gh its Junior Red
Cross branch.
Let all of us, every one of us, reaffirm
allegiance to practical patriotism and
practical humanitarianism , and to symbo-lize
the regeneration of our better thou ghts
and handsomer selves by re-enlistment in a
great army mobilized for the common good.
For every $1.00 that we give, which is
the enrollment fee, 25 per cent, remains in
Hershe y for the local requirements.
At the same time a Harrisbur g Commu-ity
Fund Drive is being made, and Her-shey's
quota is $800.
The purp ose of this drive is to raise funds
for the Associated Aid, the Bethesda
Mission, Boy Scouts, Children 's Indus-trial
Home, Child Welfare Association,
Florence Crittenton Home, Girl Scouts,
Harrisburg Benevolent Association , Har-risburg
Hospital , Nursery Home, Poly-clinic
Hospital , Sunshine Society, Sylvian

A.), Y. W. C. A., PhyUis Wheatley
Branch , Harrisburg Public Librar y, Amer-ican
Red Cross, Salvation Army, Traveler 's
Aid Society and Dauphin Count y Branc h
of the Pennsylvania Association for the
Blind.
One of the above agencies most vitally
concerning Hersheyites is the Harrisburg
Hospital , which operates on a cost basis,
56 per cent of the indoor work being free.
About the same proportion of dispensary
treatments are free, pay treatments costing
a dollar year was $12,019. These were
patients from Hershey and immediate
vicinity who last year , received free treat-ments
the cost of which amounted to ap-proximately
$1,000.

' -Hershey breadls Abetter now than, ever;
If is made-fresh every .day—and there 's
art in the baking" which produces a> light,
flakey crust that melts deliriousl y in the
mouth—then there is no soaking of the
filhng. no s^gginess.no indigestion.
¦Bread is the staftof life, therefore it is
important that it should be pure bread ,
well - made, properly , baked.. The bread
that is made by the Hershe y bakery is
perfect bread , made of .the very best flour,
seasoned just right , thoroughly kneaded
and baked to perfection. '- v
The . quality of the Hershey bakery
products is such that you need not bake at
home, i Since Mr. A. D. TJIhch ha ^^-ken
char ge of the baker y it has become bne%i
the busiest and most developing branches
of the Hershe y Department Store . Mr.
Ulrich does not scrimp on materials. He
uses the best flour, lard, butter , eggs, milk
and fruit, and uses them liberall y. The
result of his work , and his assistants , is
seen in as fine an assortment of genuinely
homelike baker y goods as can be fbtfhd
anywhere. . The cakes, doughnuts , crull-ers,
cookies, lady-fingers, etc., shvin great
variety—and all are good.
The Hershey bakery is as near perfect
as a bakery can be made. It is strictl y
sanitary—no dust , dirt or odors. The
bread and pastr y is mixed and handled by
machiner y, the quantities used are weighed
to the fraction of an ounce. Nothing is
left to guesswork. -
It is hot work fussing around a cook
stove in hot weather. Cut it out. Take
advantage of the Hershe y bakery. Surely
you can make no better bread, no lighter
biscuits, no finer cakes or pastry than you
will find on their counters or wagons. The
bakery products are baked at night; there-fore
they ar e-fresh every morning. Taking
it from an economical standpoint this
ought Ip- appeal to the thrifty housewife,
because the -price is much lower than the
cost would be if made at home.

The Gypsy Rover"
In Park Theatre
The pupils of the Hershe y High School
are busily engaged in preparing a very
striking romantic musical comedy entitled
"The Gypsy Rover ," The Gypsy Rover
is in thre e, acts and is built aroun d the
character of Rob later known as. Sir Gil-bert
Howe. Rob is stolen when an infant
by his nurse Meg, who later becomes the
wife of Mar to, a gypsy. Rob grows to
rnanhood amongst the gypsies believing
Meg and Marto to be his parents. Space
prevents giving the entire thread of the
story. There are also pretty love affairs
beteeen Nina1 and Capt. Jerome , and Zara
and Sinfo. Marto and Sinfo figure in
many comedy scenes..
Altogether this will be the. most breezy
effort ,ever attempted by the pupils of the
High School. The entire production is
replete with catchy solos, irri sistible chor-uses,
fancy costuming and clever dancing.
In order to provide sufficiently large
enough staging as.well as a larger auditor-ium,
the Gypsy jRover wHl.be prese nted in
the' Park Theatre , Friday, May 4th.

what they could see," Their first stop
was the Capitol where they met Represen -

explained to them .the modus operandi of
the state legislature. After this the class
made a tour of the Capitol under a
competent guide who showed them all the
points of beauty and interest , even « look
from a distance at the very busy Governor.
Two other points of interest were visits
to the Dauphin Count y Jail aa well an to
the Court House. At the latter place
they had a very fine opportunit y to, note

See A California
^"^Romai ^
There is something in the thrumming
of a guitar, in the warm human notes of a
lilting love song that awakens in most of us
a quick respons e to the strong appeal of
adventure and romance. That is the
kind of story which awaits you at the
Hershe y Central Theatr e tonight (Thurifc
day) at 7:30 o'clock, when "A Califor nia
Romance" will be shown.
This Fox' production starring John
Gilber t tells of the stirring days when
California was ceded to the United States.
Advance word from the producer states
that the entertainment quality of this
photoplay is close to one hundred per cent.
There is promise of an unusually engrossing
Story, masterful direction , keen thrills and
a love tale of surpassin g interest. Men-tion
is included of particularl y artistic
photography, and judging fro.r. past Fox
productions , the claim is well warranted.
Gilbert 's acting ts said to be equal to his
usual sterlin g perform ances. Estelle Tay-lor
plays the leading feminine role.
The story includes many thrills that
carry the audience along with the action of
the picture.' Gilbert has an opportunity
to show his skill with the sword and makes
the most of it. Judging from previous
photoplays of this star , a pleasant evening's
amusement can be expected.
To give the story m detail would spoil
the enjoyment of those who will see it on
the screen.
See Burning Sands
on Saturda y Evening
A desert story which treats the native
Arabs as human beings, and which is
tremendousl y appealing and drama tic, ia
"Burning Sands, " a George H. Melford
production of Arthur Weigall's. successful
novel adapted by Olga Printzlau , and
Waldemar Young. This Paramount pic-ture
has as its central character Daniel
Lane, a student and philosopher who lives
among the Arabs and who, by his insight
and sympath y, learns to know them as the
ordinary man never does, and so finds in
them much to admire. , Lane is a splendid
character , sympatheticall y portrayed by
Milton Sills. The other featured part ,
that of Muriel , was allotted to Miss Haw-ley.
Muriel is the present-day type of
pleasure-loving, materialistic young
woman; who refers to herself an "emanci-pated,"
but who is really a slave to her
whims and desires. She is an English girl ,
the dau ghter of Lord Blair , His Majesty 's
"Chief Commissioner to Egypt and the
Soudan. " Muriel , petted and spoiled,
accustomed to admiration and flatter y
from every man, meets Lane, and out of
the encounter of these contrasting charac-ters
grows the drama. Lane does not
flatter ; he admires , but in silence, because
while he realizes Muriel 's great charm , he
is convinced that it would be a great
mistake for him to yield to it. Muriel is
fascinated by this man, so different from
any in her circle of courtiers.
As time goes on, she finds him "too good
to be true. " His apparent indifference to
her , so unprecedented in her experience,
piques her interest. She decides that he
must prefer the native women, and jumps
to the conclusion that he has a harem in the
desert. His enemies maliciously corro -
borate her theory. Meanwhile , she is
falling in love with him. As a background
to this love interest , there is a visualization
of the disagreement between the British
government and the native leaders which
looms so lar ge in Egypt to-day.

Zane Grey, famous novelist , sends a

novel, "The Desert of Wheat ," which with
an all-star cast, including Roy Stewart ,
Adams, Robert McKim and other celebri-ties,
will be shown at the Hershey Central

"Readers of my novel' 'The Desert of

'Ri ders of the Dawn' they will see, instead
of the novel as it appeared serially and in

that is almost a sequel to the original ,"
said Mr , Grey. "I want them to know
how this happens, The novel was written
for the war , and contained in fiction form
my appeal for patriotism. The film doe*
not deal with the war.
. "I t was to have been filmed, like my pre-vious,

Benjamin B. Hampton , 'Desert Gold,' as
an accura te screen edition to the book. As
it is, It is an accura te screen edition of a

the same background of limitless deserts of
