Scranton Lace Co.
Basketball Team
To Visit Hershe y
On Friday evening, Feb. 6th, the Her-shey
Travelers will play the Scranton Lace
Company, of Scranton. The game will
start at 8 o'clock, and the admission will be
35c. The proceeds will be donated to the
Hershey baseball team.
The Scranton basketball team has a
splendid record, and will give the Travelers
a tussle to gain the victory.
The management urges the townspeople
to turn out in large numbers and give the
Scranton boys a hearty welcome.
We are publishing the letter from Frank
Goodall, the director, to J. F. Snavely,
which explains itself, and is as follows:
"My Very Dear Sir:
"I want to thank you for your welcomed
letter, and in reply will say that my boys
will be on hand to play your team Friday,
Feb. 6th, 25. My players are all young
men averaging about 20 years old. They
are employed at our plant and these an-nual
outings are arranged as a slight
reward for their general conduct.
"We have selected your city this year for
our outing because we have heard so much
about it and I deal extensively in your
product. I feel we shall have an enjoyable
trip. We are due to reach Harrisburg
about 3.40 p. m., and if you will direct me
how to reach Hershey I will be much
obliged. If you will kindly reserve a place
to sleep for my boys at moderate rates it
will also be appreciated. I think there
will be 9 in my party. "
Hershe y Photographer
Had Motor Trouble
James Baum, the photographer, of this
place, had a trying experience on Tuesday
afternoon.
He left his studio in his Ford for his
home, near Deodate, about five o'clock in
the afternoon. By the time that he had
come to Fishburn 's Church , about \yi
miles from this place, he had a blow-out.
Trusting to luck , he decided to keep
agoing, but later lost the tire. Upon
making the investigation he also found
that lie had lost the rear light to the
machine.
Nothing daunted he continued on his
way, but meeting a truck he had to back
up for a distance of half a mile.
With all of his trouoles over, as he
thought , he again proceeded for home, but
trouble again ensued—he lost his trans-mission.
As a result , Mr. Haum lost his temper
and left the machine in a snow bank and
finished the remainder of the journey afoot.
TO CONTINUE PUTTING ON ADDED
ATTRACTIONS AT CENTRAL
THEATRE
It is the intention of the Hershey Central
Theatre management to continue putting
on added attractions every Saturday
evening, beginning next week, and nutting
on two shows for the evening. The first
show at 6.30 the second at 8.30. The
management is to be congratulated uixn
making this progressive step—it should
have liecn made long before this—but
better late than never.
RED CROSS WILL SEW FOR BLIND
On Monday afternoons, from 2 to 4 , the
Hershey Chapter o( the Red Cross hold
their weekly carpet-rag party in the Red
Cross rooms, 'I his sewing is lieing done
for the benefit of the blind , who weave
them into rugs.
This Is a worthy cause and it is hoped
that n large number of Indies will be, there
on Monday afternoons, with their needles
and thread.
Up to this time the number of workers
have not been very large, and it is the wish
of the Society that the ladled respond in
Srenter numbers, as there is much work to
o.
It is only necessary to bring your needle
and thread , there is plenty of rags to keep
all quit* busy.

Pola Negri s Latest
Picture , "Men", a
Stor y of Paris
Slave markets of antiquity have their
counterparts in modem life, according to
Dimitri Buchowetzki, whose production
"Men," which will be shown at the Her-shey
Central Theatre on Saturday eve-ning,
Jan. 31st, at 7.30 o'clock, starring
Ppla Negri, contains an illustration of how
women are bought and sold today.
Filmed by the Russian director as his
first American made picture for Paramount
"Men" contains the story of the amazing
adventures of a French girl, "Cleo," who
begins life as a waitress in a cheap wine
shop and rises to fame as a dancer in Paris.
The role of "Cleo" is played by Pola
Negri. Surrounded by a host of men who
strive to win her favors by fair riieans or
foul , she finally promises to give the privi-lege
of her company to the highest bidder.
Handled by the masterly direction of
Dimitri Buchowetzki, the scene which
follows is probably unsurpassed in the
history of motion pictures. The camera
moves from face to face where greed,
passion, fear, avarice and desire are de-picted
upon each countenance. Bidding,
one against the other, these men play the
modern equivalent of the slave merchants
of ancient times.
Chosen to support Pola Negri in this
powerful picture of life among certain
sections of European society are well-known
players such as Robert W. Frazer,
Robert Edeson, Joseph Swickard, Monte
Collins, Gino Corrado and Edgar Norton.
Dimitri Buchowetzki produced "Men"
from his own original story which was
scenarized by Paul Bern.

BOY SCOUTS MEETING
Text Books Used
In the Derr y
Township Schools
Through the liberality of the Board of
Directors and through the efforts of A. M.
Hinkel, the supervising principal, an
unusual list of a high type of texts are
available for varied instruction throughout
the schools. The day is past when a
child's efforts must be directed for an
entire year to one book and that possibly
not very interesting. Children now read
rapidly according to their various abilities.
In some instances'pupils of the first grade
have read as many as twelve books during
their first year at school. These books
are really works of art in many instances—
with their attractive binding, large clear
type, beautiful illustrations in colors
together with their splendid contents—all
of which combine to arouse the interest of
the child to greater effort and greater
accomplishment. The following is a list
of the most prominent texts now in use

Ernest Torrence
Featured in "The
Side Show oftife"
Film fans will be more than interested
in the announcement that the Herbert
Brenon Paramount production of "The
Side Show of Life" will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday
evening, Feb. 5th, at 7.30 o'clock.
The picture is an adaptation of William
J. Locke's justly famous novel, "The
Mountebank," and Ernest Torrence, fea-tured
with Anna Q. Nilsson in the pro-duction,
has the principal role.
Having a reputation for truth we cannot
truthfully say that when William J. Locke
wrote his famous novel "The Mounte-bank,"
from which the screenplay was
adapted , he had Torrence in mind for the
title role, but it's dollars to doughnuts that
he could not have written a part more
suited to Torrence's talent and tempera-ment
if he had! The story of the clown
who joins the army as a private during the
war, rises to the rank of brigadier-general
and finds himself at demobilization in love
with a titled English woman, but after all,
just a clown—can you just picture Tor-rence
in such a role?
Every bit of the comedy and pathos
that has made so many thousands of people
laugh and cry over the book has been put
on the screen with all the mastery of
Herbert Brenon.
Better see this one!
Jack Taylor Caught
In Blazing Tent
Jack Taylor, 'Mone camper," who
pitched his tent Sunday night at the Stone
House a short distance west of Carlisle on
the Walnut Bottom road to Shippensburg,
sustained severe burns Monday morning
when his tent caught fire from a gasoline
stove.
Neighbors gave Jack first aid treatment
and called a physician who took him to the
Carlisle Hospital where his bums were
treated. He was burned on the face,
hands and arms.
About two weeks ago Jack reached
Hershey enroute from New England to
the South. While in Hershey he lodged at
the Hershey Men's Club. He and his
methods differed from the usual wanderer
in that he carried a full camping equipment
and lives in the open most of the time.
Camping on the roofs of buildings, espec-ially
the skyscrapers in the larger cities,
whenever permissible, is his specialty.
The fire which destroyed his tent on
Monday is the second experience of the
kind he has had in Cumberland County,
having lost a tent and part of his equip-ment
the night before he reached Carlisle
while camping along the Carlisle-Harris-burg
highway.
Industrial League
On Monday evening in the Hershey
Industrial League, the Wrapping depart-ment
and Construction department staged
one of the hardest fought amateur games
seen on the Men's Club floor for many a
day. Both teams were out to win, the
"Wrappers" endeavoring to continue their
winning streak and keep their record clean
and the Construction boys tread their
hardest to break into the winning column
at the Wrappers' expense. At half time
the score stood 17 to 11 in favor of the
Construction team and things looked rosey
for them, however, in the second period the
Wrapping department came back strong
and after waging an uphill fight managed
to tie the score as the final whistle blew.
An extra five minute period was required
to play off the tie during which time Ander-son,
the lanky center of the "Wrappers ",
flopped two into the basket putting the
game on ice, the score being 23 to 19.

—Strine.
In the second game, the "Men's Club"
although bunged up, put up a scrappy
game against the Planing Mill and had it
not been for several lucky shots on the part
"lumber jacks", the score would have told
a different story. At half time the score
was 19 to 13, in the Planing Mill' s favor.
In the second half the playing was not
quite so fast and the "Club" gained on the
Lumber jacks, the final score reading, 28
to 23. Both games, although rough at
times were well played by both teams. All
the teams in the league are evenly matched
and with the season just getting into the
stride it is a toss up who will cop the pen-nant.
Although quite a large number of
fans attend these games the practice of
passing the hat for voluntary contributions
has proved unsatisfactor y and beginning
Frida y evening an admission of five cents
for children and ten cents for grown-ups
will l>c charged for these games. In case
the fans show by their absence that they
do not care for a continuance of these
games the league will be disbanded .

THE LADY OF NO PLACE AT ALL
Far to the north of the North ,
There dwells a rich princess and fair ,
And the snow is the snow of her neck,
And the sun lb the gold of her hair.
Smile of the dawn is her smile,
Deep waters the depth of her eyes,
But , my dears, I'll not say any more.
For all this I have told you is lies,

Hershe y Boy Scouts to
Celebrate Anniversar y
—Plans-for-the-fifteentrranniversary of
the founding of the Boy Scouts of America,
are well under way. The dates of Anni-versary
Week are Feb. 8 to 14, and on the
calendar of 21,977 troops these are red
letter days. Many friends will join in the
celebration; the families of the huge mem-bership
of almost 700,000 men and boys;
the press, business men's clubs—the
Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions and others; the
schools, churches, officials of the city,
State and Nation. These will all take
part in this grand birthday party.
Another group with a deep interest in the
activities, deserving special mention, is
made up of 2,000,000, former members of
the organization^ "Once a Scout, always a
Scout, forms a ringing nation-wide wel-come
to these comrades of yesterday.
The custom of making patriotic pilgrim-ages
introduced in last anniversary week's
celebration will be continued this year.
Sturdy troops through the week will hike
to historic birthplaces, homesteads and
graves of noted Americans—spots many
times half forgotten but for the Scouts.
Here appropriate ceremonies will bring
back the days when these distinguished
men and women lived and did their great
human jobs.
One of the impressive moments of the
entire week will occur on anniversary night
at 8.15 o'clock sharp when, in accordance
with the by-laws of the Scout constitution,
every Scout and leader will stand in atten-tion
and recommit himself to the Scout
Oath and law. Every one of the 573
telephone broadcasting stations through-out
the country has been invited to partici-pate
in repeating these significant promises
of Scouthood.
Adopt 6-Mill Tax
Rate For Count y
The county tax rate for 1925 was fixed
at six mills by the County Commissioners
at their annual budget meeting on Friday.
The new tax rate is the same as has been
levied for six years.
A budget based on estimated revenue of
$828,446.17 was adopted by the commis-sioners
for 1925. This estimated revenue
does not include the $354,326.82 treasury
balance reported at the close of 1924.
Appropriations for both road and bridge
construction this year are considerably
reduced. The road appropriation for this
year will be $70,000 and $40,000 is set
aside for bridge construction and repair.
The 1924 appropriation for road con-struction
and maintenance was $189,511.33
but that sum included a balance of $81,-
268.37 from the loan for the building of
the Hummelstown-Middletown road and
$66,010.58 spent in the improvement of
the Elizabethville-Berrysburg highway.
The 1924 bridge appropriation was $58,-
757.48.
Appropriations of $90,000 to the
directors of the poor and $38,910 for prison
maintenance were authorized by the
commissioners. Both are based on the
1924 expenditures.
Hershe y Loses to
Readin g Reserves
On Friday evening Hershey High jour-neyed
to Reading where they threw a scare
into the Reading Reserves only losing by
the scant margin of 9 points. It was a
hard game for Hershey to lose as it broke
their run of 11 consecutive victories. Pur-cell
with 6 baskets led for Hershey while
Cauly did the best work for Reading.

UNION DEVOTIONAL MEETING ON
WEDNESDAY EVENIN i
"Toby" Sternbcr ger
Elected President
of Local Association
At a recent meeting of the Lebanon
Valley Fish & Game Protective Associa-tion
the following officers were elected:
President, "Toby" Sternbcrger; vice-president,
Tom Ream; secretary, John
McKinne; treasurer, "Honus" Moyer.
President Sternbcrger states that an
aggressive membership campaign will be
the first movement made under his ad-ministration,
endeavoring to sign up every
hunter and fisherman in Hershey and
vicinity.
Already splendid results have been
brought about by the Lebanon Valley Fish
&. Game Protective Association, but with a
100% membership, greater things can be
accomplished.
Mr. Sternbcrger makes the following
conclusions:
' That more aggression be used in keeping
homeless cats and roaming dogs from game
birds and game haunts during the hatching
season.
That the pride of Pennsylvania sports-men
keeps the Keystone State a leader in
hunting and fishing. During 1924 $2,000,-
0O0 was realized from fur bearing animals,
$70,000 in fines and $25,000 for extra pay
for conservation officers.
That school teachers and children in
rural districts are showing co-operation by
planting walnut, shellbark, fruit trees and
grain to shelter and feed game during the
severe winter months.
That the 150 vermin animals and birds
killed by every ten hunters and fishermen
in Pennsylvania during the year keeps the
State safe for more wild life production.
That farmers and sportsmen are more
active in decreasing shelters for rabbita
than in increasing them, which practice
should be corrected.
That rabbit season and bag limit should
be shortened accordingly.
That despite the cry that rabbits are
diminishing with the increase of pheasants,
turkeys, ducks, geese and chickens, the
stocks have not become extinct.
That crossing of gold fish and carp Is
possible to detract attention of cannibal
fish from feeding upon the young of their
own species.
That more care be taken in pairing and
protecting wild game and birds during
hatching season in order to increase game
stocks.
President Sternbcrger would call the
attention of fishermen to the five important
changes in the State's fishing laws, pro-posed
and now before the State Legislature
as follows:
1. To reduce from 18 to 16 years the
age limit when licenses must be held by
fishermen.
2. Change in the non-resident license
tee to make it reciprocal with that charged
by other states, but in no case less than
$2.50.
3. Removing from the law the section
which makes granting of licenses for
ipecial devices as spear, gig, fish basket or
eel rack, outline, burr hook, loop, snare,
fyke net and other nets, mandatory upon
the fish commissioners.
4. Placing closed seasons of seven to
nine months of each year for five classes of
fish.
5. Substantial reduction in the number
of fish in a "legal catch" for one day.
Reduction in the age for license is justi -
fied says President Sternbcrger, because
most states require license at age of 12,
and only three other states have the limit
as 18 years, like Pennsylvania. Increased
revenue from the additional licenses and
from the new non-resident fishermen's
license, will enable the State to build new
hatcheries. By confining fishermen to use
of rod , hook and line, will keep streams
well stocked for sportsmen, for during the
past year, when tests were made, fish were
drained rapidly from streams where special
devices were used, and were very plentiful
in streams where the special devices were
barred .
Closed seasons would be declared from
December 1 to June 30 of each year for
small and large mouth bass, rock bass,
white bass, crappie, strawberry or calico
bass, pike perch , wall-eyed pike, Susque-hanna
salmon, pickerel, muscallonge or
western pike; and from August 1 to April
30 on charr , commonly called brook trout,
and all other trout except lake or salmon
trout.
The daily legal catch of each fisherman
would be reduced from twenty-five to
fifteen charr or trout of the combined
siHj eies, white bass, rock bass, crappie,
strawberry or calico bass and pickerel;
from twenty-five to ten pike perch , wall-eyed
pike, Susquehanna salmon; from
twelve to ten small or large mouth bass;
from fifty to twenty-live yellow perch or
sunfish or catfish; and from four to three
muscallonge or western pike.
Under the new provisions, says President
Sternbcrger , the fisherman will be making
better fishing for himself and will be
allowed sufficient devices with which to
catch a mess of fish for himself and family.
Hershe y Travelers
Swamp Hummelstown
On Wednesday, Jan. 21st, the Ilershey
Travelers swamped the Hummelstown
Pirates by the score of 90 to 24. From the
first tap off the Travelers demonstrated
their complete superiority, being able to
score with very little op|x>sition. The
Pirates did their best to stop this avalanche
of field goals but found the going too hard
and soon gave up the ship. At half time
Denny Rcigle and Kid I-arnsler , of Sand
Beach , indulged in six rounds of mit
punching with Benny winning an easy
victory. In the third round , the Kid
socked Benpy where he perches his John
Hays. Later In the evening while indulg-ing
in his favorite dissipation, Benny re-marked
that his grip on the evil weed"
was not quite as firm as before his en-counter
with the Kid's hamukcr.
