              Hershe y Makin g Ever y
Effor t To Get Convention
Norman Stable and Robert Whittle will
represent Hershey Post, No. 386, at the
State Convention ¦ that will be" held at
Greensburg on August 21, 22 and 23.
Efforts are being made to have the State
Convention meet in Hershey for 1925,
acting upon the suggestion of Hon. Lt.
Gov. David J. Davis, of Scranton, Post
State Commander of the Legion; Wm. B.
Healey, of Wilkes-Barre, National Vice
Commander, and General E. C. Shannon,
of Columbia. Letters and literature have
been sent out. Banners will be hung
across Greesnburg's principal thorofare,
telling of Hershey's many advantages, and
a booth erected from which Hershey's
famous cocoa will be passed out to the
former doughboys.
Hershey is a logical place in which to
hold a convention, being centrally located
and easily accessible by railroad , trolley
and automobile.
Few cities have such a hall that Hershey
boasts of in the Hershey Convention Hall,
which easily seats five thousand persons,
having every modern facility and with well-nigh
perfect acoustic properties. Ad-joining
the hall is Hershey Park, the play-ground
of Central Pennsylvania, furnishing
amusement features which appeal to
young and old. In addition to these
advantages Hershey has ample accommo-dations
for housing and lodging thousands
of visitors.
More than 100,000 former veterans are
members of the State Legion, and large
-,-delegations from all counties will attend, r in addition to hundreds of visitors. On
the final day, when a parade will be held,
several thousand are expected.
Efforts are being made to obtain General
John J. Pershing as one of the speakers, as
well as Secretary of Labor James J. Davis.
Among speakers who will appear are Cyrus
E. Woods, former ambassador to Japan ;
C. F. Hoban, Harrisburg, assistant director
of the State Department of Education, and
Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett, of Virginia,
former head of the national Legion
women's auxiliary. Mrs. Barrett will
address the auxiliary, which will hold its
annual convention simultaneously.
Otterbein Men s
Bible Class Gating
The annual outing of the Men's Bible
class of the United Brethren Sunday
School was held at Dillsburg, on August
16th, as the guest of James Millard , former
superintendent of the local Sunday School.
Baseball games were played on one of
Mr. Millard 's farms. The "Wild Cats"
defeating the "Owls", by a very large score,
while the other men devoted their time to
pitching quoits and relating their past life.
As the afternoon passed very rapidly,
something else was in store, for which
every man present looked forward to, and
that was the chicken and waffle supper at
..he "Rest Awhile Inn." Due to the hard
work in the afternoon a lot of chicken and
waffles were devoured, especially by Roy
Sternberger and Cyrus Garman.
The day was well spent and every one
had an enjoyable time.
We were glad to have with us as our
guests : Irvin Slesser, Wm. Brinker, George
Copcnhaver and James Murray , and
heartily welcomed them in our midst.
The following are the men that attended
the outing: Rev. A. G. Nye, Irvin Aungst,

MONKEYS AT ZOO ON THE
DEFENSIVE
An in quisitive monkey at the Hershey
Zoo demolished the eye glasses worn by
Oscar K. Jones, Reading train rule exami-ner.
Jones found that ho had a few momenta
to spare while he was in 1 lershey, Tuesday
at noon. He decided to visit the too.
Wishin g to examine the monkeys, he stood
near th e cage. One of the monkeys, who
has "Inking ways" reached through the
burs of t he cage and snatched the glasses,
from I he nose of Jones.
The monkey then twisted the glasses
in to nn unrecognizable mass.
There Is u railing to prevent visitors
getting t(X) close to the cage—to prevent
th em from annoying the monkeys. If
the visitors remain on the outside of the
railin g, the monkeys would be unable to
snatch thin gs 'from visi tors. But it seems
to delight n large number of persons,
particularly the men, to annoy the mon-keys,
leanin g over the mil and mimicking
to the beat of their ability. Others poke
sticks at the animals, and do numerous
"smart" tricks, which has the desired
effect of riling the monkeys.
It In a pity that this practice cannot be
squelcher.!—but It would require one offi-cer's
entire time In order to do thin. • ,

"The Last Warni ng"
At Park Theatre
, With more laughs than all the other
mysteryplays put together, it is no wonder
that "The Last Warning" caught the
public fancy and remained at the Klaw
Theatre, New York, for over a year, play-ing
at each and every performance to the
magic "Standing Room Only" sigh.
It has often been said that the play-wright
who can so construct his entertain-ment
so as to combine a laugh with a bit of
drama is indeed a master ofhis craft , and,
acknowledging that to be the case, as
indeed it is, the cleverness with which
Thomas F. Fallon has knitted his comedy
to his excitement entitles him to a place
with the foremost dramatic writers of our
day. "The Last Warning" stands out
pre-eminently as a perfect model of play-writing
and audience satisfaction.
Much of the hilarious comedy of "The
Last Warning" is supplied by one Evelyn-da
Hendpn, a burlesque chorus girl, who is
employed by the theatrical manager to
make the other actors laugh and forget the
deadly menace which hangs over them in
their preparations for their new play in the
haunted theatre.
Evelynda Hendon can truly be said to be
good for a laugh every time she opens her
mouth, and she-certainlyk eeps it open a
lot! The way she gete matters balled up,
her ludicrous attempts to "be Ritzy" and
her mangling of not only the French lan-guage
but the English, will convulse you
with laughter.
Don't fail to see this big laughing novelty
when the Ella Kramer Players present it at
the Park Theatre.

FORD TO LIVE TO BE 126, HE
INTIMATES
Henry Ford intimates that he expects to
live to be 125 years old. His secret is one
well known to the drivers of his motorcars,
who have been usung it to increase the
longevity of the engine, but have never
thought to apply its principles to them-selves.
Getting rid of carbon is the secret. His
philosophy of living is merely a matter of
keeping the carbon out of the system and
taking out what has accumulated.
People are sooting themselves up with
carbon; that was hia underlying thought,
but they are beginning to understand it.
Mastication is the way to avoid lt. Coffee,
tea, tobacco and liquor do not form any
part of his prescription. Drugs are not of
much use, either, he said, altho he ad-mitted
that medicines were used in his
hospital.
"I let the doctors run it, and I suppose
they use a good deal of medicine, but I
don't think it is good for much."

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE SAY DANCE
MASTERS
"Keep your distance—three inches—and
don't whisper."
This slogan for dancers has been adopted
by the Internationa l Association of Mas-ters
of Dancing,
"The proper position for tripping the
fantastic toe in public is for partners to
stay far enough apart so that when they
converse they must raise their voices above
a whisper," said a resolution adopted.
"The left arm of the leader and the righ t
arm of his partner should be gracefully
extended and the former's right hand
should be placed in the small of his part-ner's
back, ever so lightly—but firmly."
W. E. Kavanaugh, of Now Bedford ,
Mass., who has been teaching dancing half
a century salch
"If dancers will live up to these regula-tions
there will bo no further need for such
ballroom signs as "improper dancing not
permitted" or "Strangle holds and half-
NelBons barred" or Your feet—move
them, too."

Legion Is Pledged
To Defense Day
Whole-hearted co-operation of the
American Legion with the war department
and civic and patriotic organizations in the
observance of National Defense day,
September 12, is pledged by National
Commander John R. Quinn in a letter to
Secretary of War Weeks, made public at
the national headquarters of the legion at
Indianapolis last week. Quinn pledges
the entire machinery of the legion toward
the success of the Defense day program,
having recently urged full co-operation by
legionaires.
"The American Legion stands whole-heartedly
back of the test of our national
defense, which is to be made on national
defense test day, September 12," the letter
reads. "The entire machinery bf the
legion will co-operate with the war depart-ment
and with other civic and patriotic
organizations to make a success of this trial
of our plans for the defense of the nation in
time of an emergency.
"The American Legion is not forgetful
of the part it played in 1920 in the adoption
of this defense plan. It feels that the pro-posed
test of our national resources is a
wise and necessary step, that we may know
how that plan will function,
"Non-preparedness has been tried. The
horrible fruits of that lack of policy were
manifested in the terrible loss of life which
accompanied our slow and painful prepara-tion
to play our part in the world war.
The American Legion does not want war.
but it realizes that in the present world
situation war may come. It believes,
therefore, that the only wise policy is the
prudent one of preparedness to meet such
crises as may arise when they present
themselves. In that policy it conceives
that the defense test of September 12 has a
proper and essential part.
FARMS SHRINK IN VALUE IN STATE
Pennsylvania a farm lands have de-creased
$98,000,000 in "book value"
during the last four years, lt la estimated in
figures compiled by the State Department
of Agriculture and the United States
Department of Agriculture.
This shrinkage has been at the rate of
about $9 an acre and is the result of a
return to normal conditions after the
greatly inflated land values that prevailed
during the war.
Farm land values throughout the Nation
have declined about $18,000,000,000 in
these four years, the states in the Mississ-ippi
Valley and westward having suffered
the greatest losses.
While this writing down of land values
Is considered serious,; it is the opinion of
officials that only those who purchased land
at the higher war-time prices have suffered
any actual losses. Others have simply
witnessed the wiping out of speculative
land values boosted to a high figure during
the war-time inflation.
HUMMELS AFTER ENGLISH
ESTATE
A conference for the purpose of Investi-gating

at Lewisburg on Saturday.
She was a member of the Hummel
family, born and reared in Snyder County,
and her millions will come back to America.
Aa she died without heirs, eo it la said.
Cleona Baseball Man-ager
Challenges Hershey
Editor, Hershey Press
Hershey, Pa.
DearSir:-
In reference to your write up, in the
Hershey Press, on the Cleona-Hershey
game at Hershey would say that we take
off our hats to you fellows when it comes
down to real sport, for we're not in it with
you. You mention it was on account of
the intense heat that you fellows were
unable to beat us, I'll grant you it was not
nearly as hot for our team as it was for
your "dearly beloved Chocolatiers."
Now then here's a proposition : I here-by
challenge your Chocolatiers" to a
double header to be played onyour grounds
with one Cleona umpire. Games to be
played at Hershey, as our diamond at
present is not in a condition to play on. I
will bring my team up there and promise
to defeat you both games for a guarantee
of $100 for both games, morning and after-noon.
If this proposition is suitable to you
kindly call me at your earliest opportunity
or drop me a line concerning same, also if
you decide not to do it.
Yours for Good Sport,
John G. Heisey, Mgr.
Mr. Heisey seems to take to heart the
writeup in last week's issue. Surely, we
gave them everything—but the heat. As
it is, however, we will not go to the mat
with Mr. Heisey in regards to the matter.
Mr. Heisey has high opinions as to the
merit of his team, and states that his team
can defeat Hershey twice in one day.
As to his proposition—it rattles like a
dish pan. Why doesn't he make a regular
proposition. Play two games, winners
take all or lose all. Or 60-40. Hershey
can get a regular team for $100.
_We_,did not see the game, but we
wouldn't be afraid to put up a wager that
the Cleonites will never hang up two
victories in one day against Hershey. Not
with their present lineup.
Mr. Heisey must bear in mind that
Hershey did not have its regular lineup
when his team defeated them—and even
at that Cleona had to extend a leg to win
the victory. If it had been a nine inning
affair, it would have been another story.
Former Toll-noose
Destroyed By Fire
Fire, caused by the explosion of an oil
stove, destroyed the home of Arthur
Myers, on the Wm. Penn Highway y£ mile
west of Swatara on Thursday of last week,
and added another chapter to his week of
misfortune and bereavement.
On Monday morning his wife died.
On Tuesday he went to Hummelstown
to arrange for the funeral. Upon his
return, he found that robbers had entered
his home and stolen $40 in cash, a gold
watch and a revolver.
On Wednesday, funeral services for his
wife were held from the funeral parlors of
Undertaker Karmany, at Hummelstown.
Wednesday night he returned home and
prepared to take up life alone in his be-reaved
home.
He arose early Thursday morning to
attempt the family washing. He placed
some water on the oil stove to heat it. Un-accustomed
to the ways of the stove, he
left it for a few moments to get some more
water.
While he was gone there was an explo-sion
and he returned to find the room
ablaze.
The names spread rapidly. The house,
a landmark on the Wm. B. highway, was a
toll-house until the road was freed a few
years ago when the State took it in charge,
Unable to do anything, Myers was com-pelled
to stand by and watch his home go
up in smoke.
The Hershey and Hummelstown fire
engines were on the scene but were unable
to be of any use.

Advantages Of The
Hershey Filling Station
. The large electric sign for the Hershey
Filling Station on West Chocolate Avenue
has arrived and has been placed in position.
The sign is attractive and corresponds
with the attractiveness of the station,
which is one of the most attractive to be
found anywhere.
The motorist is coming more and more
to demand quick, efficient and honest
service. The popularity of a Filling
Station is due to the type of service they
render.
The commonest demand for service by
the motorist is for gasoline and oil. It is
thru the sale of these that the filling station
has reached its prominence.
With this in mind, the Hershey Filling
Station Has moved one step ahead and
offers facilities unsurpassed, and since its
opening day it has experienced an enorm-ous
increase of business. The word
"service" here has real significance. The
motorist who wants a quart of oil gets the
same cheerful treatment accorded the
customer with an empty gas tank. Delay
is cut to a minimum, a car is oiled, gassed
and the radiator filled on the jump. Elec-tric
pumps are so placed that a minimum
of manoeuvering is necessary to drive in
and get away.
The Hershey Filling Station makes it a
point to keep the equipment and attend-ance
spic and span. It inspires confidence.
Clean pumps mean clean oil, and operators
who lack the usual coating of grime make
the transaction more attractive, especially
to the ever increasing number of women
who drive their own cars.
At the Hershey Filling Station it is not
necessary to ring a bell, or hunt for the
operator who sells the gas. You'll always
find an operator here ready to serve you
when your car rolls to a stop, and you are
served cheerfully.
Moreover, the Hershey Filling Station
offers free of charge an up-to-the-minute
crankcase service. It is not necessary for
you to crawl under your car and grope
around in cramped quarters trying to find
the drain plug. The pit at the Hershey
filling Station is such that it is an easy
matter for a motorist to see what he is
doing, with lots of elbow room, lots of
light and clean as a pin. The next time
when you are at the Station give it an in-spection
and see what you are missing if
you are not already using it.

PAUL WHTTEMAfTS ORCHESTRA RETURNS LABOR DAY
The appearance of Paul Whiteman and
his famous orchestra of twenty-five artists,
a musical event which had been looked
forward to with unusual interest by musical
lowers throughout Central Pennsylvania
brought to Convention Hall on Sunday
last an audience of nearly three, thousand
people to enjoy a program of rare and
popular music such as has made Mr.
Whiteman famous as a conductor in the
larger cities. It has remained for Mr.
Whiteman through his genius in develop-ment
and improvement of American popu-lar
music in accordance with the best
musical traditions, and by elaborating
with other American Composers he has
made an epoch in the history of Modern
Music which has made him one of the
greatest single factors in the world of music
today. It was the pronounced opinion of
all those present at this concert that no
similar event ever given in this section has
given _such general satisfaction, and the
reception accorded Mr. Whiteman was so
marked and cordial, and the applause so
generous that Mr. Whiteman in deference
to the numerous requests and to give an
opportunity to the hundreds who were
unable to be present on account of the un-favorable
weather he has consented to
return for a concert on Labor Day, Mon-day,
September 1st, in an entire change of
program which will include a number of his
own compositions which have made him
famous. The program presented on Sun-day
was the same as given in New York,
Philadelphia, Atlantic City and other
cities and the hearty approval given here
was but a repetition of that in the other
cities where the concerts created a sensa-tion.
41
For the return engagement on Labor
Day, Monday, September 1st, at 2.30 p.
m., the prices of tickets will be $1.10, $1.65
and $2.20, including war tax. A large
number of seats will be available at $1.10
