Hersheyite Plans
to Plant Tobacco
Lancaster County is known as the
Garden Spot of the World, and is also
known as a tobacco county. It must soon
look to its laurels, for A. Bowman Snavely
is the father of the thought, "If tobacco
will grow in Lancaster County, successfully
why won't it do as. well or better in Dau-phin
County".
So taken up with this thought is Mr.
Snavely that when he was inspecting his
father-in-law's tobacco acres in Lancaster
County, at Conestoga Centre, on Sunday
that he, when no one was looking, borrowed
six of the most promising stalks and with-out
much ado hid them in his machine.
Upon his'return to Hershey on Sunday
evening he immediately got busy (the
better the day the better the deed) and
planted his six tobacco stalks in his flourish-ing
garden and every morning and every
evening one can see Mr. Snavely dusting,
brushing, watering and hoeing his six
tobacco stalks.
So promising is the outlook that Mr.
Snavely has made arrangements with Mr.
Wm. F. R. Murrie for the use of the upper
story of his garage in which to cure these
six tobacco stalks.
The understanding, we believe, is that
Mr. Snavely has promised to give Mr.
Murrie half of the crop, and he has every
assurance that the six tobacco stalks will
yield sufficient wrappers in which to keep
both in smokes during the winter months.
If the six tobacco stalks come up to Mr.
Snavely's expectations we can expect to
see his garden, which abounds with peas,
beans, corn and potatoes, etc., take on a
different aspect next summer—in other
words it will be a tobacco plantation.
Mr. Snavely s venture is being watched
with much interest by all of the other
gardeners in the East End Back to Nature
Association, and we also believe all of these
gardeners will be only to glad to follow in
Mr. Snavely's footsteps and become
tobacco growers. They have tried to
raise about everything in the vegetable
line, and failed, and they are hoping that
tobacco willbeameans of being the way out.
For want of something better we will
drink a dry toast to the success of Mr.
Snavely's efforts in the tobacco field and
may his efforts surpass his fondest expecta-tions.

REV. KEIM TO SPEAK AT MEN'S
MEETING IN PARK
Mr. M. S. Hershey
Discusses Co-operation
On Thursday evening of last week Mr.
M. S. Hershey preparatory to his trip to
Europ called a meeting of the officials and
departmental managers at the Hershey
Cafe.
After the dinner that had been served
and the Golden Lions had been lighted Mr.
Hershey arose and addressed those present
as "Partners."
Mr. Hershey used this term, as he said,
because we are partnersin every sense of the
word. He stated how well pleased he was
at the way the additional compensation
plan has worked out, and he also stated
how well pleased he was at the splendid
manner in which the Twentieth Anniver-sary
Celebration was handled, and it was
most gratifying to him to see the large
throngs that came to Hershey on those
two days.
He emphasized this point as to what can
be accomplished when there is complete
co-operation. If we would put forth the
same efforts in our daily vocation as was
done to make the Anniversary a success,
the prosperity of the Hershey Chocolate
Company was indeed assured. Not only
the factory, but the store, the park, and
the town itself.
Mr. Hershey stated that the success of
the additional compensation plan is not
only through the prosperity of the choc-olate
business, but also how prosperous
were the other departments of the com-pany.
If the store loses money the loss
will naturally be reflected in our additional
compensation checks, By our co-operation
and patronage the store will grow bigger
and better in every way, and our additional
compensation checks will also be larger.
The store at the present time is efficiently
managed, every department is in charge of
capable and courteous managers whose
every effort is to please us. If at any time
we are not getting the service or quality or
price that we think we are entitled, we
should, in fact, it is our duty, totakeupthe
matter with Mr. Zoll, Mr. Cole or Mr.
Murrie and they will see to it that the
fault is remedied. It is our store, and as
partners we should pride ourselves on its
success, on its excellence, and should in
every way strive to make it bigger and
better.
Mr. Wm. F. R. Murrie then made a few
remarks, telling how pleased he was at the
splendid morale of all of the employees of
the factory, of the store and other depart-ments.
He looks forward to the six
months that are ahead of us with every
assurance that these will surpass those of
the first six months, and asked that we
continue to give forth our best efforts , with
the same zeal and enthusiasm as we have
done in the past.
Mr. Murrie also touched upon the co-operation
that we should give to every
phase of our town life, that by our efforts
greater results may be accomplished.
Mr. J. E. Snyder in his remarks reviewed
the wonderful progress that had been
made in the twenty years just recently
celebrated* Mr. Snyder stated that he
was an optimist, especially when it comes
to the future of the Hershey Chocolate
Company, and he looks forward to the
next twenty years that are ahead of us as
being full of promise, and he trusted that
when we celebrate our fortieth anniversary
in 1943 that all of us would be here to help
do the celebrating—even though we would
be twenty years older.
Mr. P. N. Hershey was the next speaker
and he stated that at the previous meeting
that Mr. Hershey had called, in January,
when he told of his additional compensa-tion
plan, that his greatest surprise was
and has been ever since that no one arose
at that time to thank Mr. Hershey for hla
noble generosity, and he, although belated,
would take it upon himself to do so at this
time, which he did most eloquently. Mr.
Hershey, in concluding, emphasized what a
wonderful proposition it is—to be taken in
as partners, of a successful industry with-out
having to put up one cent as capital,
We take none of the risks, we receive our
salaries, and , further, receive our share of
the profits that may accrue. It is indeed
the day of millenlum, and it seemed almost
too good to be true.
The speaker told of the great possibili-ties
of the Hershey Chocolate Company,
with its own sugar supply, with its own
milk supply, and with Its cocoa bean and
almond supply systematized and pro-tected.
The next speaker was Mr. Ewlng Cain,
who, in his concise and apt manner, stated
that our every effort should bo made to
gain the 100 per cent perfection In our
daily tasks—that each one of us should
endeavor to do his and her part In the most
efficient manner possible to the ultimate
good of the entire proposition.
The meeting then adjourned and before
leaving, Mr, M, S. Hershey shook hands
with each and every one as they left the
Cafe, and all were most profuse in their
"Bon Voyage" partings.'
On Saturday evening n quiet wedding
took "place" here. The contracting parties
were R. F. Von Neicla and Mrs. Lizzie
Gramloy, both of Centre Hall, Pa. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev. 0. G,
Romlg, 129 Cocoa Avenue. The .couple
were unattended. The groom was a
former resident of this place. They are
spending their honeymoon at this place,

WEDPED AT HERSHEY
''Over the Hills" Is
a Splendid Drama
Beginning next Monday evening and
playing Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
the Ella Kramer Stock Company will
present that splendid drama "Over the
Hills". "She came over the hills from the
poor house, along with her horsethlef son."
This drama is in four acts, and is replete
with strong lines and splendid stage sett-ings,
The cast of characters has been
carefully chosen, which is a follows:
Ebenezer Hemmingway Bruno Wick
Anna Blake Miss Ella Kramer
John Newton Frederick Clayton
Wallace Newton Wesley Barney

Window Display at
Store Up-to-Date
Have you noticed the large grocery
window that the Hershey Department has
on display? This is about the biggest
thing of its kind ever attempted in Her-shey.
In fact, can you remember of ever
having seen one in the larger cities that
surpassed It? • We believe you haven't.
Mr. Bolts, who planned it, was busy for
a good many hours carrying and arranging
all of the canned goods that It took to All
these large windows.
The only fault we have to find In the
arran gement is, that Fred ought to have
several of his pretty models seated around
the table, in the Hershey Cocoa display,
drinking a cup of cocoa or a glass of Cocoa
Milk.
Possibly the reason of this is due to the
models all being busy displaying bathing
toga and dimpled knees,
FLAGS CONSPICUOUS BY THEIR
ABSENCE
On the Fourth the flags allying from our
public buildings, excepting those of the
Hershey Chocolate factory, were conspic-uous
by their absence.
The American Legion has a pole but no
flag, if they have we failed to see It, We
believe the P. 0., S.' of A. has neither.
These two organizations should set an
example, especially on, the Nation's birth-day,
above all others.
The homes of the town, each and every
one. had flogs afloating In the brewe ,
Hershey Band Pleases
Lar ge Crowds
Everyone who heard the augumented
Hershey Orchestra, made up of members
of the Hershey Band, and of the Park
Orchestra, which is under the management
of Fred Pronio, and directed by Louis
Colangelo, that gave two concerts at the
Park on the Fourth, will attest to the
fact that this musical organization made a
hit with the music-lovers who. assembled
at the Park Band Shell in large numbers at
each concert.
The perfect control gained by Director
Colangelo over his musicians, especially
when one takes into consideration that
this orchestra was assembled only within
the past week, with but one rehearsal, was
notable. The ensemble was perfect at all
times.
Director Colangelo got the last atom of
feeling and expression from his men, and
the varied instruments composing the
orchestra.
It is a pity that the larger orchestra can-not
be continued for the remainder of the
season. Judging from the large throngs
that heard the orchestra at both concerts,
which indicates most plainly that when-ever
there is an opportunity of hearing
good music the music-lovers avail them-selves
of the privilege, and also proves that
the orchestra would be a big attraction at
the Park.
Mr. Colangelo demonstrated what can
be done by capable directorship. The
Hershey Band as it now stands is in a rut,
but if given a director such as Mr. Colange-lo
or Mr. Pronio, even for one night a
week, the band would have some standing
in musical circles, and one which the
people of Hershey would soon take much
pride.
The members composingtheaugumented
orchestra were as follows:
From Park Orchestra—Fred Pronio,
1st cornet; Salviadore Colangelo, 1st solo
clarinet; B. E. Carpenter, 1st clarinet;
Roy Ward, solo trombone; H. Engle,

guests of the John Elder Men's Bible Class.

and on the Roller Coaster. After com-pleting
this little tour the men were served
a bounteous chicken dinner on the Hershey
Park Cafe veranda,
Rev, Dr. J. W, Bailey acted as toast-master
and a number of delightful toasts
were given. Good fellowship and co-oper-ation
effort were much in prominence
throughout the evening. The Cluunbenv-burg
men could not possibly express their
appreciation for the manner in which they
were entertained, both by the Men's class
and the Hershey interests. They were
quite amazed by the spacious and beautiful
store and bank as well as their complete-ness
in business methods.

Palmyra Takes Two
Games From Hershey
.Hershey lost two games to Palmyra on
the Fourth.
In the morning's game at Palmyra the
score was 4 to 1. In the afternoon's
game the score was 10 to 8..
The morning's game was lost due to the
fact that Hershey could not hit Plowman.
The afternoon's game was lost to poor
management.
Hershey had the game tied up in the 5th
inning with a score of 7 to 1. It was
plainly seen that Hepting's stuff had noth-ing
on it, in fact in the sixth inning he
should have been taken from the box.
Was he? Oh, no, we believe in trusting
to luck.
Hershey should take a pointer from the
Palnyyra and Klein teams. Upon the
Ieastsign of weakening of their pitchers, out
they go. Sympathy does not win ball
games. If Menair did not make such a
wonderful showing in the morning's game,
he surely would not have been any worse
than was Hepting. Besides we had
Zimmerman and Matthews on the bench,
so there is no excuse that we had no pit-chers.
Hershey • should have had the game,
which would have tied up the series, but as
it is Palmyra now has the bulge on us.
However, if we show some of the same
fighting spirit that Palmyra does, they play
until the last man is down, we should still
give Palmyra a stiff argument.
The Hershey team is being whipped into
shape. Brown at short and Baldwin on
1st make splendid additions. Langl at
third seems weak, as does Boyne in center
field. It looks as though he couldn't hit a
balloon.
The score by innings is as follows:
Morning's Game
Hershey 0 10 0 0 0 0 0 0—1
Palmyra 0 0 0 0 0 2 11 0—4
Afternoon's Game
Hershey - . 0 0 0 3 4 0 00 1 0 — 8
Palmyra 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 22 2—10
Hershey will play Palmyra on the Park
field on Tuesday evening, July 10, at 5:30
o'clock.
Hershey will play Carlisle on Thursday
evening, July 12th , at 550 o'clock.
There will be no game on the home
grounds this Saturday, as Hershey will
play at Williamstown.

'The Storm" Drawing
Big Crowds This Week
This week at the Hershey Park Theatre
the Ella Kramer Stock Company is playing
George Broadhurst's production of Lang-don
McCormick's great melodramatic
story 'The Storm", which ran for forty
weeks at the 48th Street Theatre, New
York last season:
The keynote of 'The Storm" is con-vincing
realism. Every feature of both
story and the wonderful blizzard and forest
fire scene is so true that one is uncon-sciously
transplanted from the mimicry of
the theatre to the land of the actual, and
follows every incident with breathless
interest.
The scenic effects bear so important a
part in the presentation of "The Storm"
that more stage artisans are employed in
manipulating the scenery than players in
telling the story. This fidelity in obser-vance
of detail in the effects which serve as
a background to the story is one of the
many reasons for the great success of the
production.
The story concerns two men and a girl
marooned in a cabin in the Canadian
Wilds during a winter, the unexpected
arrival of a blizzard, cutting their escape.
Both love the girl madly, one with the
strength of a man reared in the open, the
other with the passion that knows not
what it is to be denied where there is a
woman at stake. From bosom friends
they become the deadliest of enemies. The
object of their attention, realizing that she
is the storm center, bestows her smiles with
an impartiality that, while intending to
pacify the rivals, only serves to fan the
flame until there comes a climax that
sweeps everyone in the-play and audience
off their feet. This is a romantic red-blooded
play of all outdoors, melodramatic
it is true, but of the sort that grips the
emotions. Yet it is not all drama for there
are many scenes in which there is more
than the usual share of light comedy-
Miss Ella Kramer as "Manette Fac-hard",
the French Canadian girl, was most
convincing. It is, without a douht, the
best work she has done while in Hershey.
Miss Kramer can run the whole gamut of
emotions, and as Manette in "The Storm-she
had ample opportunity to doing so.
Gordon Ruffin as "David Stewart'', and
Clarence LeRoy as "Burr Winton" shone
out as two stars of the same lustre. Their
work was supurb. It almost seemed as
tho they were living the roles, instead of
enacting them. Their work, particularly
in the second act, was most excellent.
Ralph Crabtree as "Maniteekwa" was
splendid.
Helen Potter Jackson as "Kitawa ' and
Frederick Clayton as "Jacques Fachard"
had little to do, but what they did, they
did well.
If you haven't seen "The Storm" we
would advise you to take this opportunity
of doing so.
