              Additional Compensation
Increa sed to 35 Per Cent
On Friday evening Mr. MrS. Hershey,' consequently greater efficiency would have
prior to leaving for Cuba, called a m eet|ing to be attained, and all wasteful methods
of the departmental managers, which was
held in the large lunch room of the factory.
Mr. Hershey stated how well pleased he
was at the way that the additional com-pensation
plan had worked out during the
year of 1923., The results were consider-ably
more gratifying than he really thought
possible. He believed that the greater
number of the employees appreciated the
additional compensation plan, and these
were striving to their utmost to make it a
success. He was sorry to know, however,
that there were a few who were so short-sighted
as not to get back of the plan.
Every effort should oe made to weed these
out from the ranks, as they were a detri-ment
to the business, as well as the effi-ciency
of the additional compensation
plan.
Mr. Hershey laid considerable emphasis
on the fact that he wanted his employees
to work with him, not for him, and as a
consequence still greater results would be
achieved.
Mr. Hershey stated that for the year
1924 the additional compensation plan
would again be in effect. However,
instead of paying twenty-five per cent of
the net profits, this would be increased to
thirty-five per cent.
K Mr. Hershey also stated that he had
K- given quite some thought to putting a
W- pension plan for his old employees into
m effect. He had considered doing this a
W number of years ago, but the war side-
P tracked it for the time being. He had
now decided to put this plan into effect
just as soon as one could be worked out,
v and he asked that the officers and the
departmental managers give this matter
serious consideration so as to discuss it
^
at the next meeting which will be held in
¦ ?¦s *fcjanuary. Mr. Wm. F. R. Murrie being called
F. upon for a few remarks, stated that the
L year 1923 had been the most successful in
W the history of the Hershey Chocolate
|.- Company. He wished to think each and
b every employee for their excellent co-oper-
F ation that made this result possible. He
L.. stated that the sales department was
.;. primed to make the year 1924 a banner
KJ year, and it was up to each one of us to do
W our utmost so that the sales department
Eft: would attain the increased quota. Com-
P' ;: petition was keen, and more goods had to
be sold than ever, and at a lesser cost.
eliminated. He had faith in the entire
organization; and he felt that the employ-ees
would be equal to the occasion, and
that the results would be most gratifying.
Mr. J. E. Snyder reviewed conditions of
the past year, and complimented everyone
for their splendid co-operation that had
made the additional compensation plan
such a success. He told how Mr. Hershey
and the town had recently come in the
limelight, and that the attention of the
whole world was centered upon Hershey,
brought about by the munificient gift of
Mr. Hershey to the Hershey Industrial
School. He was pleased that Mr. Hershey
was going ahead with his pension fund for
old employees, it was another step in the
right direction. He was also pleased that
Mr. Hershey was going to build a High
School building. This was another splen-did
step forward. He hoped that Mr.
Hershey might be able to do all that he
contemplated—which would surely come
about if all of us work together with the
right will and spirit.
Mr. H. N. Herr spoke about the work
that was being done on the sewage disposal
plant. He believed that this plant would
be finished in the near future and he
trusted that when all the sewer lines were
laid throughout the town that all of the
property holders would see to it that
connections from their homes would be
made, even though they had cess pools of
their own, and by their co-operation help
to prevent the contamination of Spring
Creek. The cost would be normal, and
within the reach of all. He touched on
other improvements that would be brought
about in the not to distant future, such as
paved streets, the elimination of the
telegraph and telephone poles, which
would result in a more beautiful Hershey.
Mr. A. .T. Heilman stated that the
employees in the factory were appreciative
of the benefits derived from the additional
compensation plan, with but a few excep-tions,
and he knew that when the word was
passed that the compensation had been
increased from twenty-five to thirty-five
per cent, that everyone would strive to
become 100 per cent., if that were possible.
He was pleased that a pension fund would
be placed in effect, and he was quite sure
that all of the employees would also
appreciate this humanitarian act, upon the
part of Mr. Hershey.
Shirley Mason In
"South Sea Love"
Of all locations to inspire stones of
romance and action, none is the equal of
the tropics—anywhere below the mythical
line that divides the globe. Accordingly,
Frederick and Fanny Hatton went down
into the sun-kissed oceans in spirit, when
they wrote the story, "South Sea Love,"
which William Fox has produced for the
screen. The picture comes to the Hershey
Central Theatre on Saturday evening,
January 5th, with Shirley Mason in the
principal role.
J. Frank Glendon has the principal
masculine part opposite the lovely Miss
Mason. Francis MacDonald, and Lillian
Nicholson are other notable screen players
The story deals with the fervid love of a
South Sea island girl. The course of true
love runs no smoother beneath the azure
skies and the trade winds of the tropics,
than it does in the frozen, hardened north.
But eventually, of course, the typhoon dies
and she comes into a beautiful love as
tranquil and untroubled as the Pacific off
Waikeke beach.
Chas. Jones In "Cupid's
Fireman " Tuesday
On Tuesday evening, ,Jan. 8th, at the
Hershey Central Theatre, Charles Jones
will be seen in "Cupid's Fireman", which
is an adaptation of Richard Harding Davis'
"Andy McGee's Chorus Girl ." It permits
Charles Jones to flash his restrained style
of acting In. a new line of heroics and he
gives a sincere performance of the young
nreman who becomes a "smoke-eater
against his mother's wishes—the latter not
willing to have him sacrifice his life aa did
hia father.
The highlight of the feature presents the
hero saving na actresa from a burning
house—an actress whose husband has
locked her up inside. The scene is quite
realistic and its originality will be noticed
by the discerning spectator. The floor falls
through carrying the intrepid nreman and
the villian with it. And there is no
question that It measures out a thrilling
moment. Jones plays this sequence for all
it in worth—and he commands admiration
\n Mh attempt to save the worthless hus-band.
Once the climax is "shot," the
picture is over insofar as its melodramatic
elements are concerned, It finishes with
the culmination of the romance.
Others In the cast are Marian Nixon,
Brooks Benedict , Eileen O'Malley, Lucy
Beaumont, Al Fremont, Charles McIIugh ,
Mary Warren and L. H. King.
The second episode of "The Beasts of
Paradiao" will also ho shown,
"Beasts of Paradise" waa adapted from
u combination, of two stirring adventure
stories, It deals with the search for n
sunken treasure, stolen from n gold-bearing
ahip by a raider submarine, Much of the
action taken place on shipboard and on n
tropical Island, Wild beaata contribute
important parts of the excitement. Al-though
not nn innovation in pictures, thla
phase of the plot has been developed with
unusual caro and interest , so much ao that
the thrllla Riven to the story by the jungle
situation , long will remain vivid In the
memory after seeing the film,

The Pur ple Highway"
With Madge Kennedy
Greenwich Village, New York, studio
life as it is and not as some writers are wont
to depict it, is a scene of many interesting
sequences in the Paramount picture,
"The Purple Highway," featuring Madge
Kennedy, which will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday,
Jan. 10th.
The story tells of a young playwright
and musician, both of them failures as far
as their professions go, who, spurred on to
further efforts by April Blair, little slavey
in the Home for Artistic Failures, of which
they are inmates, come to live in New York
City in the vicinity of Washington
Square. Here Edgar Craig starts work on
his new play, and Joe Renard takes April
in hand—for she has hopes of some day
becoming a great stage star.
April's dream becomes a reality when
their little attic studio is visited by an
eminent theatrical, manager, whom April
recognizes as Manny Bean—he, too, was
at one time a member of the old Home, but
is now a successful producer. Edgar's
play is accepted, and Joe is engaged to
arrange the musical score, and April is
chosen as the star. The identity of the
author of the play is, by order of Craig,
carefully concealed from her.
So it is a great revelation when, after a
trial run in Bridgeport and the play havipg
scored heavily in New York, April learns
that Edgar Craig is really Edgar Prentice,
author of the production , and that he is
anything but a failure.

Fire Co. To Install
3 E P. Sire
The Hershey Vol. Fire Company held
their regular monthly meeting at the Hose
house on Tuesday evening* with the fol-lowing
members present: Wm. Freymeyer,
George Scnroll, Daniel Brubaker, Samuel
Golso, Harry Miller, Clarence Ulrich,
Henry Henny, Joe Brewer, Daniel Ens-minger,
Charles Palmer, Ben. Beidleman,
Arthur Newcomer, Samuel Johnston, B.
W. VonNeida, Elias Gockley, Wm,
Brinker, Paul Reigle, John Conrad, A. W.
Flowers and Geo. Lafferty.
Chief John Conrad reported that the
spot-light had been received and installed
on the fire engine. Eight feet of flexible
suction hose, with couplings, were ordered.
Secretary A. W. Flowers stated that a
Sterling double-head 3 H. P. 220-volt
Siren had been shipped, which would be
installed on the Hose house on a 30-day
approval.
Harry Miller moved that there be a fund
for the purchase of flowers for deceased
members, to be raised by a collection to be
made after each monthly meeting. This
was seconded and carried. The collection
made later amounted to $2.40. So from
now on the Fire Company will be able to
say it with flowers.
Secretary Flowers stated that a check
had been received from the Reading R. R.
for the sum of $206.50 for services rendered
at the freight wreck of several months ago.
Mr. John Kreider stated that as yet the
committee on new furniture for the Hose
house had no report to make. He deemed
it adivsable to wait until the work on the
interior of the building had been com-pleted
before placing the new furniture, as
it would get scuffed up soon enough.
It was suggested that after the Hose
house had been repaired and the new
furniturei nstalled that a 500 partyb e held.
As their was no further business to
attend to, the meeting adjourn ed.
See The Hersh ey
Pictures On Tuesday
Several weeks ago a photographer
representing the Fox Film Co. was in
Hershey. He took a few hundred feet of
film showing Hershey from the top of the
Hershey Department Store building; the
old stone school where Mr. M. S. Hershey
learned his "A-B-C's"; the Hershey
Consolidated School and children; the
Hershey Industrial School and children.
In these pictures Mr. Hershey and his
police dog are central figures. Those who
have seen these pictures say that they are
splendid.
This Fox Weekly, showing the Hershey
pictures, will be shown at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Tuesday evening, Jan.
8th, at which time Charles Jones in
"Cupid 's Fireman" will also be shown.
We would advise going early to get a
good seat. There will be no raise in prices
for these pictures.
The Departin g Year
(By Rev. O. G. Romig.)
Once more the hands are moving around
the dial face of the years, and we enter
upon the threshold of nineteen hundred
and twenty-four. The record is complete,
the page is written—soiled and blotted
here and there with tears. The last few
lines have been added; we have folded the
parchment and placed upon it the seal of
the past. Nineteen hundred and twenty-three
has been laid on its appropriate shelf
in the old and musty vaults of the past.
Now the happy greeting—"A Happy
New Year," is on every tongue, and we
will not mourn for the old year because we
have with us a new one quite as good.
What the new year has in store for us,
time alone will tell. It will no doubt
bring with it its joy s and sorrows. It will
sweep on, and carry in its bosom the same
joys and sorrows for the "sons and daugh-ters
of men", aa have the years of the dead,
yet living past, and in its return be laid
away among the relics of the dead ages.
The clock struck twelve; the grave opens
and closes, and the old year is buried in
silence and sadness. To most of us it was
a kind, generous year, and we have learned
to love it with deep and earnest affection .
It loaded us down with blessings, and it
is full of solemn admonition. It tarings to
our minds the rapid flight of time. The
past is buried, the present is with us, and
the future lies before us.

Mellon Bill Provides
SweepingJaiXuts
The Mellon tax bill, now made public in
its entirety of 344 pages of voluminous
detail, is a much broader measure than had
at first appeared, and provides sweeping
changes affecting every taxpayer from the
poor to the rich.
This is the first time that the House
Ways and Means Committee has made a
revenue measure public before it went to
the floor of the House. The bill means,
broadly;
Reduction in taxes for every citizen, to
take up the surplus of $310,000,000 in the
Treasury.
Plugging up present leaks by which tax
dodgers are depriving the Government of
from $60,000,000 to $100,000,000.
Creation of a board of tax appeals which
will aid the taxpayer materially, composed
of from seven to twenty-eight members
and sitting at various points in the country.
Getting taxes from certain sources
which have hitherto been exempt, trusts,
estates, partnerships, corporations and
making stock" include shares in an
association, joint stock company, or
insurance company.
Removal of "nuisance" taxes which
affect the individual pocketbook of every
citizen, on moving picture and other
theatre admissions, on telegrams, tele-phones
and leased wires.
In addition to the cutting of normal
income tax rates from four to three per
cent, and from eight to six, and the reduc-tion
of surtax rates, chief interest centers
about the measures for plugging leaks in
the law, which the committee is now
studying and which, it is estimated, will
bring from $60,000,000 to $100,000,000
more to the Government, and thus will in
the end affect the small taxpayers as a
basis for further reductions. Principal
among these are:
A provision making the spouse who
controls the property pay the tax. In
eight states, a man and his wife now can
each make separate returns. This makes
the tax return smaller, as separate tax for
instance on $50,000 each is less than the
tax on $100,000. It is estimated that
$25,000,000 will be added in this way.
One placing a tax on "hidden" assets in
reorganization of a corporation. Corpora-tion
A, for instance, with $10,000 assets,
reorganizes and creates a new Corporation
B, with assets of $50,000, but pays taxes
under the present law on the $10,000. The
new law requires payment of tax on the
$40,000 difference.
A provision requiring the granter of a
trust, where he still has power to call back
the trust, to pay tax on the income of the
trust. Such trusts are not now taxed.
Several other changes are provided. Net
losses can be carried over from one year to
another. If a taxpayer in 1922, sustained
a loss in excess of his 1923 income, the
amount will be allowed as a deduction in
computing his 1924 tax. The tax on
capital gams 12y£%, is extended to capital
losses at the same rate. For instance, if a
taxpayer with an income of $25,000 has a
capital loss of $10,000 he deducts 12#%
for this loss from his income tax.
A provision to hasten the collection of
taxes provides that all internal revenue
taxes shall be assessed within four years
after they are due and bans any court
action for collection of taxes after a period
of five years.

Hershey Department Store Has
Found Its Place In the Sun
When the Hershey Department Store
occupied its old location at the corner of
Chocolate and Cocoa Avenues, in 1910,
it had 8 employees. This number has
grown every year until today it has 75.
When the store was moved from the old
location to Chocolate and Park Avenues
there was much shaking of the heads of
99 3-4 per cent, of the townspeople, who
saw nothing but failure by this move.
However, every year has shown an
increase, and the year just closed, 1923,
has shown an unusual increase. This has
been brought about by the splendid co-operation
upon the part of the sales force
and of the management. The managers,
John R. Zoll and J. Leon Cole, have been
untiring in their efforts to build up the
organization, and we are pleased to see
that their efforts have been rewarded.
The Hershey Department Store repre-sents
co-operation and organization. In-stead
of many small stores with cheap and
incomplete stocks the store embraces
everything, maintains high standards,
gives quality^and service and affords the
wide selection of the best of city merchan-dizing.
In all its many departments are
things for the table, home, person and the
various needs of a growing community—
everything from a needle to a threshing
machine; from a bag of salt to a ton of coal;
from a slice of dried beef to a whole of a
beef; from a baby's stocking to the
mother's or father's overcoat; from a pill
to a case of Cliquot;—these, and to use the
words of Jacob Hess on his sale bills, many
other articles too numerous to mention.
The Store maintains an automobile
delivery and gives exceptional service.
Taking everything into consideration
the Store is a wonderful store. Visitors
who come to Hershey marvel at its beauty,
at its excellent line of merchandise, at its
decorative art, at its reasonable prices, and
at its service.
And yet there are a number of persons
in the town wh6 consider the store not
worthy of their patronage, belittle its
endeavors at their every opportunity,
and pride themselves at their purchases
made elsewhere, and in many instances
paying more and getting less for their
money.
We know of several instances where
persons have had their sons clotEed from
head to foot, purchased at out-of-town
stores, when they could have done better
at the Hershey Department Store. We
know of just as many instances when men,
yes, girls and women too, have bought
then- suits, coats, hats and shoes elsewhere,
when they might have been better fitted
and saved money if they had taken advan-tage
of the splendid assortment at the
Hershey Department Store.
When we consider that the people in
Hershey enjoy the benefits of an additional
compensation plan, and that the Hershey
Department Store is a part of the proposi-tion,
which means that the more merchan-dise
that the Store sells the greater the
profits of the store will be and the larger
our additional compensation checks will be,
we are almost led to believe that Cleman-ceau
was right when he said that this was a
stupid world.
It is impossible for us to buy all of our
merchandise at the Hershey Store, but for
the love of Mike, let's give them a chance
of at least give us a price and see what they
have to offer—especially when we consider
that the Hershey Department Store is
OUR store. - • - . ..
Let's all of us do our part for the year
1924, and the Hershey Department Store
will easily double its sales.

Dauphin County Hogs
Win 2nd Prize
Four barrows from Dauphin County
were among a carload of Berkshire hogs
from Pennsylvania which were awarded
second prize at the International Live-stock
Show at Chicago.
The local barrows were sent from the
Quarry farm, Palmyra, R. D„ of which
Herman Grubb is manager.
The carload of porkers from Pennsylvan-ia
sold for $10.25 per 100, following the
judging of a largo class of choice barrows.
This was the third highest price brought by
the carload lots shown at the exposition
and was within $1 of the price paid for the
grand champion carload. That Berk-shires
were in demand at Chicago waa
evidenced by the carload lota averaging a
better price than the representatives of any
other breed.
The Pennsylvania carload at'tractcd
considerable attention in the meat packing
city , It waa the only Instance of a carload
furnia(icd co-operntively by breeders and
fed by an educational institution. The

Hbg s All-Stars Trim
Olivet Five
Benny Kline's All-Stars aggregation of
basketball tossers had little trouble in
defeating the strong Hershey Big Five on
Thursday- evening in Casino Hall at
Harrisburg by the score of 54 to 33.
The All-Stars quintet was composed of
some of the best tossers developed in this
section in recent years. Haps Frank and
Glenn Killinger of Penn State fame,
Buddy Lingle of Lehigh, Rus Tuckey of
Gettysburg, N. Frank, a former Tech star,
and Benny Kline composed the local team
and all played a great game. Killinger,
Lingle, N. Frank and Haps Frank were the
bright stars while Benny Kline, known in
the days of the old Rosewood aggregation,
was held without a two-pointer. This,
according to Benny, is the first time he has
ever been kept out of the field goal column.
For Hershey Johnny Bordner. Strine
and Zimmerman played a great game and
time after time these boys brought the
crowd to its feet by brilliant bits of floor
work. The Olivets, however, seemed lost
on the big Casino court and this handicap
went a long way in spelling defeat for the
lads from the Chocolate town.
