What's What and Who's Who '' ¦- The- Hershe y Departme nt Store will be open every evehihg ' this week vintil 9:00 i»?clock. " '. ' ' • :.'¦ : Mr. Hallgren tells us he is receiving ; a mighty fine lot of oysters thege days. How about stuffin g that turkey, duck , goose or chicken with ostreoid " bivalves. Some dainty dish to set down to, we are thinkin g. These are busy days at the Hershe y postoffice. Postmaster Balsbaugh and his assistants , Miss Bessie "Mbyer .'Chas. Peiffer , Miss Mary Painter , Amos Lehman, Ed. Hoffman and Ulrich Weltmer , are putting forth every effort to deliver Santa Claus' mail on time. Sam. Gilepo, who kept everything spic and span at the Hershe y Men's Club, un-derwent an operation at the Philadel phia Hospital. He is coming along nicely, and trusts-to be back on the job after the first of the year. Amos Brandt , of Palmyra , is looking after things at the Men's Club in the absence of Mr. Gilepo. . Paul Shultz and Lewis Emerick came home with ducks under their arms on Sat-urda y, havin g won these at the shooting contest at Swatara. Honus Moyer and Ed. Lewis were winners of geese. A. treasur er-bearing caravan , as great as any which journeyed to pay homage to King Solomon, forms one of the big feat-tures of "The Loves of Pharaoh ," a tre-mendous picture to be seen at the Hershe y Central Theatre on Christmas Night, Dec. 25th, at 7:30 o'clock. This treasure is the wedding dowry of Samlak , King of the Ethio pians, who hopes to mar ry his daugh-ter Makeda to Amenes, Pharaoh of Egypt. But the marria ge is frustrated and Samlak in anger, makes war upon Egypt. The picture is filled with thrills and burning love interest , and is an Ernest Lubi tsch production. Emil Jannings plays Ameries, Paul Wegener is Samlak , while others prominent in the cast are Dagny Servaes and Harr y Liedtke. Railroad and State Highway officials on Monda y made a final inspection of the big viaduct built at Swatara Station. As a result of the inspection the roadwa y was opened for traffic. The new viaduct does away with the last but one grade crossin g on the Reading between Harrisbur g and Reading. The only existing grade crossing is at Avon and this one too, will probably disap pear within the next year or two. Mrs. George Decker t and Harry Rudy were excurs ionists to Philadel phia on Sun-day. Edwin Wagner has purchased the AI. Wirth pro perty on Chocolate Avenue, which was offered for sale on Saturda y, December "9th". """Mr Wa'gnerwas the only bidder. One of the scenes in "The Fast Mail" , which will be shown at the Hershey Cen-tral Theat re on Saturda y evening, Dec. 23 rd , at 7:45 o'clock, is adapted from the famous poem "Jim Bludso" written by the late Joh n Hay. This is the spectacular scene which shows the race between the "Memphis " and the-"Robert E. Lee", the two famous Mississippi steamboats. The blowing up of the "Memphis " is an actual occurenc e. Anothe r pocket-bi lliardist has macle his appearanc e, who is none other than "Shor-ty " Newcomer. On Monday evening at the Hersh ey Fire House "Short y" trimmed Clarence Wiley decisively, and then took on Ben Beidleman , who is some shark. Ben was a poor .second. How would you like to be the milk man these cold mornin gs? We hear Mr. Reilly jangling the milk bottles about 3:30 o'clock not every mornin g, but "some" mornings , as he pulls up at place. We roll over for a anot her snooze, mighty thankful we're telling you, that we are not the milk man. He tells us he gets out of his warm covers about 2:30 o'clock every morning. It must be an invigoratin g feeling to breath the icy air at this time in the mornin g. Joe Brewer, George Schroll , Doc Henny ani Stwear t Mahen are the champion pinnochle players of the Hershey Volun-teer Fire Co. Dan Hershey, Jim Putt , Paul Edri s and Fred Gipe are near con-tend ers, We would suggest that the Fire Compan y hold a pinnochle contest in order to sort the sheep from the goats. William Fr edericks was on the sick list for the past week. He is on the job again. If you are in the market for a good auto-mobile ,Mr. Frede rick s will be glad to sell It to you, as he handles the Overland and the Wlllys-Knlg ht.

Community Tree Saturday Evening The Community Christmas Festival will take place on Saturday evening, December 23rd , at 6:00 o'clock, in the Winter Dance Hall. Over 600 tickets have been given child-ren up to 8 years old. Each child will be given the opportunity of shaking hands with Santa Claus , and the jolly old fellow will give a present to each child having a ticket. To those who are entitled to a ticket , and who have not been able to get one, provis-sions have been made to take care of these on Saturday evening—at which time tickets will be given these children. It is planned to sing one carol , "O Come, All Ye Faithful" , to be followed by "Jolly Santa Claus ". To hear all the kiddies sing this song will be worth going miles to hear. The committee want a number of help-ers on Friday evening,, from 7:30 o'clock, to help wrap up the packages for the kid-dies. The more persons that come out, the Sooner we will get done. Don't let it up to the committee to do it all. There are more kiddies to be taken care of than we had anticipated. . Our treasury is none too large. If you can spare a little toward the fund , the committee will be only too glad to receive it. We don't want to deny any kiddy a present , and we won't unless the treasury is empty.

MUSICAL PROGRAM FOR MORN - ING SERVICE SUNDAY, DEC.24th 'the Fast Mail" on Saturday There can be no doubt about the enter-tainment value, of "The Fast Mail," the William Fox melodrama which will be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening, December 23rd. It is action plus and contains enough thr ills to satisfy even the most critical movie fan. "The Fast Mail ," which was produced fron i Lincoln J . Carter 's senastional rail-road melodrama, is even better than the original play which xan't far twent y-two seasons. All the thrills that delighted the popular love for exciting melodram a are shown on the screen with the realism which could not be attempted on the stage. There is not a dull moment in the entire film. Climax follows climax, and thrill mounts on thrill during the course of this cyclonic melodrama. "The Fast Mail" crowded the famous Strand Theatre in New York City for an entire week and proved that good, strong melodrama is just as popular with the present generation and with it as with the theatre goers of other days. Tie story starts at the historic Dixie Land Steeplechase and pictures some of the fastest dare-devil riding ever shown on the screen. The hero was fouled during the running of the girl he loved. Crooked gamblers who had the girl's brother in their power had fixed the race, so that they would win the money. During an argument over the division of the stake, one of the gamblers is shot and the other one decoys the heroine into an automobile. The hero follows and the most exciting pursuit ever screened follows. The picture is real , hair-raising thriller and in the words of William Fox, its producer , is an "Honest Melodrama. " It is worth seeing more than once. "The Loves of Pharaoh " on Xmas Three men can stand on top of each other in the ear of the massive sphinx built under the direction of Ernest Lubitsch for his most pretentious production "The Loves of Pharaoh, " a big Param ount pic-ture which will be on view at the Hershey Central Theatre on Christmas night, Mon-day, December 25th. The man who created a sensation with his masterful direction of such spectacular pictures as "Passion " and "Deception " has chosen Egypt for his background in this fascinating romance of a king who married the serving maid of the princess he was supposed to marr y. An entire Egyptian city was constructed , with about fifty buildings , for the filming of the picture . Built-wi th historical ac-curacy and architecturall y correct , it was not expected thatthesemotion picturesett-ings would be so enthusiasticall y endorsed by scholars and school teachers , or that classes in ancient history would study them for their Egyptian architecture. Yet this actuall y happened at the film city which Lubitsch built. More than one hundred thousand pers-sons are seen in the spectacular battle scenes between the Egyptia ns and the in-vading Ethio pians. Paul Wegener , who enacted "The Golem" creates a colorful role as King of Ethiopia , Emil Jannings , seen as an English king in "Deception ," appears as Pharaoh , Harry Liedtke , seen with Pola Negri in "The Last Payment]" and Dagny Servaes , leading woman have great parts in this Egyptian romance. And all these men center their attentions upon a new blonde beaut y, Dagny Servaes , said to be the most attractive of the screen ac-tresses Ernest Lubitsch has introduced to America. School children to Sing Carols On Thur sday and Saturday evenings of this week the pupils of the Hershey Schools will sing carols at the Hershey Department Store , beginning at 7:30 o'clock. There will also be a number of instrumental selections. Come out and hear the carol s it will do you good. Intere sting Exhibit The implement department of the Her-shey Departmen t had an Interesting ex-hibit at the Farm Product Show, consisting of gasoline engines, power washing ma-chines, circular wood saws, wheel barrows , Swab hand wagon for boys, step ladder s, etc, Of particul ar interest was the Fairbanks- Mor se Home Light ^Plant demonstration ,, The price of this equipment is but $295,00, This plant will supply all the electricity for lights , fans , vacuum cleaner, electric 'iron , toaster , etc , and at the same time afford engine power for running a line shaft or Individual machines , Ever y plug socket Is in Itsel f a small power station ever-ready to run anyone of the many electr ical con-venience s which now help to make the farm homo most att ractive, Another interest , exhibi t was the Fair-banks- Morse Home Water Plant , which operates perfectly In connection with the Homo Light Plant, It is autom atic-supplies health ful , runnun g water any-where you want it at a cost of only two or three cents a day. ' ' ' , # The engine la of the slow speed type,' simple In construction, and of the type that the farmer is familia r with, Mr, John Hers hey, who has char ge of the implemen t departm ent , will be pleased to demonstrate these plants to anyone Inter-ested, ¦' .¦ ¦¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ , > . i Is There a Santa Claus Thirty years ago a little girl named Virginia O'Hanlon wrote to the "New York Sun" and asked: "Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus, Please tell me the truth , is there a Santa Claus?" . The reply was in the form of an editorial from the pen of the brilliant Frank P. Church , one of the editors of "The Sun." It is one of the greatest things in American literature , and we reprint it here so that all children may know that "Santa Claus lives and lives forever ": "Virgini a, your little friends are wrong . They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensib le by their little minds. All minds, Virgini a, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant , in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence cap-able of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. "Yes, Virginia , there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and gener-osity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus? It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then , no poetry, no romance , to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment except in sense and sight. The. eternal Jight withuwhich. childhood fills the world would be extin-guished. "Not/believe in Santa ClausI You might as. well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus , but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not. But that' s no proof they are not there , Nobody, can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world, "You tear apart the baby 's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith , fancy, poetry, love, romance , can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia , in all this world there is nothing else real and abi ding, "No Santa ClausI Thank God, he lives and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia , nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. " A Merry Christmas to You All By John Hallgran When glittering Stars are twinkling high Above the snowclad , froz en nor th ; And shimmering crystals from the sky The icy winds are bringing forth ; When from the woods the sapling pine Is rai sed In every home and hall Bedeck ed with lights and tinsel fine, "A merr y Chri stmas to you all!" When over the hills the spirits swing Of charity, Joy and festive cheer And lofty chimes in chorus ring ' Announ cing Yuletide now la here. The time when human hearts grow mild With reverance for traditions call To join the pleasures of the child, "A merry Chris tmas to you all!" To you, who from the virgin soil Brou ght forth this pride of lofty homes, To you who staked your life on'toll And you who greets him when he comes With youngsters who are glad to see Old Santa Claus and hear him call From all around the Christmas Tree—• "A merr y Christmas to you alll" FAITHFUL WORKER S CLASS WILL MEET THUR SDAY The Faithful Worke rs' Class of the First U, B, Church will hold their monthly busi-ness meetin g on Thursda y evening, Decem-ber 21st, at the home ot Mr s.

Paul Shultz and Lewis Emerick came home with ducks under their arms on Sat-urda y, havin g won these at the shooting contest at Swatara. Honus Moyer and Ed. Lewis were winners of geese. A. treasur er-bearing caravan , as great as any which journeyed to pay homage to King Solomon, forms one of the big feat-tures of "The Loves of Pharaoh ," a tre-mendous picture to be seen at the Hershe y Central Theatre on Christmas Night, Dec. 25th, at 7:30 o'clock. This treasure is the wedding dowry of Samlak , King of the Ethio pians, who hopes to mar ry his daugh-ter Makeda to Amenes, Pharaoh of Egypt. But the marria ge is frustrated and Samlak in anger, makes war upon Egypt. The picture is filled with thrills and burning love interest , and is an Ernest Lubi tsch production. Emil Jannings plays Ameries, Paul Wegener is Samlak , while others prominent in the cast are Dagny Servaes and Harr y Liedtke. Railroad and State Highway officials on Monda y made a final inspection of the big viaduct built at Swatara Station. As a result of the inspection the roadwa y was opened for traffic. The new viaduct does away with the last but one grade crossin g on the Reading between Harrisbur g and Reading. The only existing grade crossing is at Avon and this one too, will probably disap pear within the next year or two. Mrs. George Decker t and Harry Rudy were excurs ionists to Philadel phia on Sun-day. Edwin Wagner has purchased the AI. Wirth pro perty on Chocolate Avenue, which was offered for sale on Saturda y, December "9th". """Mr Wa'gnerwas the only bidder. One of the scenes in "The Fast Mail" , which will be shown at the Hershey Cen-tral Theat re on Saturda y evening, Dec. 23 rd , at 7:45 o'clock, is adapted from the famous poem "Jim Bludso" written by the late Joh n Hay. This is the spectacular scene which shows the race between the "Memphis " and the-"Robert E. Lee", the two famous Mississippi steamboats. The blowing up of the "Memphis " is an actual occurenc e. Anothe r pocket-bi lliardist has macle his appearanc e, who is none other than "Shor-ty " Newcomer. On Monday evening at the Hersh ey Fire House "Short y" trimmed Clarence Wiley decisively, and then took on Ben Beidleman , who is some shark. Ben was a poor .second. How would you like to be the milk man these cold mornin gs? We hear Mr. Reilly jangling the milk bottles about 3:30 o'clock not every mornin g, but "some" mornings , as he pulls up at place. We roll over for a anot her snooze, mighty thankful we're telling you, that we are not the milk man. He tells us he gets out of his warm covers about 2:30 o'clock every morning. It must be an invigoratin g feeling to breath the icy air at this time in the mornin g.

MUSICAL PROGRAM FOR MORN - ING SERVICE SUNDAY, DEC.24th 'the Fast Mail" on Saturday There can be no doubt about the enter-tainment value, of "The Fast Mail," the William Fox melodrama which will be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening, December 23rd. It is action plus and contains enough thr ills to satisfy even the most critical movie fan. "The Fast Mail ," which was produced fron i Lincoln J . Carter 's senastional rail-road melodrama, is even better than the original play which xan't far twent y-two seasons. All the thrills that delighted the popular love for exciting melodram a are shown on the screen with the realism which could not be attempted on the stage. There is not a dull moment in the entire film. Climax follows climax, and thrill mounts on thrill during the course of this cyclonic melodrama. "The Fast Mail" crowded the famous Strand Theatre in New York City for an entire week and proved that good, strong melodrama is just as popular with the present generation and with it as with the theatre goers of other days. Tie story starts at the historic Dixie Land Steeplechase and pictures some of the fastest dare-devil riding ever shown on the screen. The hero was fouled during the running of the girl he loved. Crooked gamblers who had the girl's brother in their power had fixed the race, so that they would win the money. During an argument over the division of the stake, one of the gamblers is shot and the other one decoys the heroine into an automobile. The hero follows and the most exciting pursuit ever screened follows. The picture is real , hair-raising thriller and in the words of William Fox, its producer , is an "Honest Melodrama. " It is worth seeing more than once. "The Loves of Pharaoh " on Xmas Three men can stand on top of each other in the ear of the massive sphinx built under the direction of Ernest Lubitsch for his most pretentious production "The Loves of Pharaoh, " a big Param ount pic-ture which will be on view at the Hershey Central Theatre on Christmas night, Mon-day, December 25th. The man who created a sensation with his masterful direction of such spectacular pictures as "Passion " and "Deception " has chosen Egypt for his background in this fascinating romance of a king who married the serving maid of the princess he was supposed to marr y. An entire Egyptian city was constructed , with about fifty buildings , for the filming of the picture . Built-wi th historical ac-curacy and architecturall y correct , it was not expected thatthesemotion picturesett-ings would be so enthusiasticall y endorsed by scholars and school teachers , or that classes in ancient history would study them for their Egyptian architecture. Yet this actuall y happened at the film city which Lubitsch built. More than one hundred thousand pers-sons are seen in the spectacular battle scenes between the Egyptia ns and the in-vading Ethio pians. Paul Wegener , who enacted "The Golem" creates a colorful role as King of Ethiopia , Emil Jannings , seen as an English king in "Deception ," appears as Pharaoh , Harry Liedtke , seen with Pola Negri in "The Last Payment]" and Dagny Servaes , leading woman have great parts in this Egyptian romance. And all these men center their attentions upon a new blonde beaut y, Dagny Servaes , said to be the most attractive of the screen ac-tresses Ernest Lubitsch has introduced to America. School children to Sing Carols On Thur sday and Saturday evenings of this week the pupils of the Hershey Schools will sing carols at the Hershey Department Store , beginning at 7:30 o'clock. There will also be a number of instrumental selections. Come out and hear the carol s it will do you good. Intere sting Exhibit The implement department of the Her-shey Departmen t had an Interesting ex-hibit at the Farm Product Show, consisting of gasoline engines, power washing ma-chines, circular wood saws, wheel barrows , Swab hand wagon for boys, step ladder s, etc, Of particul ar interest was the Fairbanks- Mor se Home Light ^Plant demonstration ,, The price of this equipment is but $295,00, This plant will supply all the electricity for lights , fans , vacuum cleaner, electric 'iron , toaster , etc , and at the same time afford engine power for running a line shaft or Individual machines , Ever y plug socket Is in Itsel f a small power station ever-ready to run anyone of the many electr ical con-venience s which now help to make the farm homo most att ractive, Another interest , exhibi t was the Fair-banks- Morse Home Water Plant , which operates perfectly In connection with the Homo Light Plant, It is autom atic-supplies health ful , runnun g water any-where you want it at a cost of only two or three cents a day.

The reply was in the form of an editorial from the pen of the brilliant Frank P. Church , one of the editors of "The Sun." It is one of the greatest things in American literature , and we reprint it here so that all children may know that "Santa Claus lives and lives forever ": "Virgini a, your little friends are wrong . They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensib le by their little minds. All minds, Virgini a, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant , in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence cap-able of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. "Yes, Virginia , there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and gener-osity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus? It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then , no poetry, no romance , to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment except in sense and sight. The. eternal Jight withuwhich. childhood fills the world would be extin-guished. "Not/believe in Santa ClausI You might as. well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus , but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not. But that' s no proof they are not there , Nobody, can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world, "You tear apart the baby 's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith , fancy, poetry, love, romance , can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia , in all this world there is nothing else real and abi ding, "No Santa ClausI Thank God, he lives and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia , nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
