Hershe y Boy Scouts
in The Role of
Fire Fighting
While two boys scouts of.Hershey troop
were taking their fourteen mile hike for a
first-class test on Monday, June 1st, they
discovered a forest fire, which, had it not
been for their viligence might have reached
major proportions and damaged much
property. Striking out over the road to
Vian, these Scouts, had walked about two
miles when they noticed whirls of smoke
coming from the woods near that place.
Not paying much attention they continued
another mile when they noticed that the
smoke seemed to be spreading and knowing
that it was a scouts duty to report fires ran
to the first farm house where they tele-phoned
to the Hershey Fire Department
and the rest of the Scouts in Hershey.
Luckily at the time the scoutmaster re-ceived
the call many of the boys were in
and around the Men's Club and it took
them but no time to reach the scene of the
conflagration. When they arrived the fire
was still blazing and although the fire de-partment
had extinguished most of it the
Scouts rendered valuable service, and were
the last to leave the scene circling the place
several times and putting out stumps that
were still on fire.
Wm. Drinker Caused
Constern ation
on Sunday
William Brinker, who is one of the aces of
the Hershey Chocolate Company organi-zation
, is also a motorist of quite some
distinction.
While driving through Avon with his
new Willys-Knight car on Sunday he
created quite a bit of consternation to the
staid citizens of that progressive town by
the mantle of vapor that escaped from the
rear of his car. In fact , so dense was this
substance that the Avon citizens became
obsessed with the thought that night was
upon them and time to put the chickens to
roost.
However, when Mr. Brinker and his car
had passed by they became known what
had caused havoc with their atmospheric
conditions.
The town constable was called into
action , who speeded after Mr. Brinker ,
who was now merrily whizzing along the
Wm. Penn Highway, passing telegraph
|X)les quicker than he could count them.
After some little chase our worthy
arbiter of the law ran alongside of Mr.
Brinker , who, using his four-wheel brakes,
stopjied immediately, and who thought he-was
pinched for speeding.
lie was much annoyed , and perturbed
uixin being questioned what kind of fjas he
used , altlio much relieved , for his vision of
the town lockup cvaixiralcd.
Mr. Brinker slated in a most firm man-ner
that he used the besl--and that the
lx:st was none Ux> good for a Willys-Knight
The cop, however, told our driver to
Ux)k to his carburator or else drive on the
country roads.
Mr. Brinker thanked the cop in his most
genial manner and then drove on- -think-ing,
however , that a motorist has all kinds
of trouble.
Baseball Scores by
Radio For Hershe y
Hershey baseball fans will be pleased to
learn of the installation of a score hoard at
life Hershey Men 's Club, whereby they
will be able to learn all the latest returns in
the way of big league scores scxin after the
games are completed . This invatlon will
be greatl y appreciated by the s|x>il-lovln g
public of the town and nightly scores of
fans may be seen gathered in front of the
Club eagerly watching the progress or
reverses of their favorite teams, The
score Ixmrd was reeled through the
courtesy of Edwin Hershey and Roliert
Kraft , two youthful radio enthusiasts, who
daily pick up all the latest news out of the
ether.
DAIRY COW IS MARKET FOR
FARMERS' CROPS
I >ulrylug is primarily a matter of market-ing
of the crops (hat grow on the dairy
iwtm, not of dsuyv products, according to w
statement issued through I ho Dauphin
County Agricultural Extension Associa-tion.
"Dairy farmers prixluco a variety of
crops in a more or less definite rotation and
these crops must be converted into money
if the dairy farmer Is to prosper. Although
the price received for milk is a factor, the
working ability of the cows Is of greater
ini|x>rtanco, Gcxxl cows will return $20 or
more per ton of luty raised on the dairy
farm, and those animals which are not good
producers will return proportionately lew
lor the farm crops."
Guarantees totaling almost $500,000 have been posted for the third-of-a-century tour of
Lieutenant Commander John Philip Sousa and his famous Band. Sousa's thirty-third season will
be of thirty-five weeks duration, opening at "Hershey, playing two concerts, afternoon and evening,
in the Hershey Park Convention Hall, Saturday and Sunday, July 4th and , 5th. The guarantees
have been posted by individuals and organizations in about one-half the 250 cities which Sousa will
visit during the season, and presage a total of more than $1,000,000 in receipts for the tour.
Sousa's band, as constituted this year, consists of seventy-five pieces, with several soloists in
addition , directed by Lieutenant Commander John Philip Sousa in person. After thirty-two years
of experience and growing fame, the organization and director will come to us at the very height of
their career. They will play a varied program, including classic compositions, stirring marches by
Sousa himself, and spiced with modern syncopated music that might well earn Sousa the title of
"Jazz King" as well as "March King".
Sousa's reputation and achievements are unique. His is undoubtedly the most famous and
most popular of American musical organizations, appealing alike to critical, musically-educated people
and to those who know nothing at all about music except as its swing and rhythm stir them.
Sousa himself has earned the regard of the American people, not alone because he is a great
director and composer, but because of his genial human qualities, and because he has served the
nation patriotically and well.
More detailed announcements regarding the Sousa concerts will be made later, but in the
meantime we shall all be looking forward to the treat that is to be ours.
The afternoon concerts will be given at 2.30 o'clock. The evening concerts at 7.30 o'clock.
Popular prices will prevail: General admission, 50 cents; reserved seats, 75 cents, including war tax.
"The 7th Guest"
and "Manhandled "
Next Week
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
June 8th, 9th and 10th, the Sherwood
Players will present at the Park Theatre a
real up-to-the-minute mystery play, "The
Seventh Guest." There will not be much
said about this play, with the exception
that it is a real one. We find that the less
said about mystery plays the better. We
are willing to state however, those who
attend will be glad that they were there
when the 7th Guest arrives.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
June 11th, 12th and 13th, the Sherwood
Players will produce a play that all are
familiar with and seemingly a popular one,
inasmuch as there has been many requests
for it. It was played in the Hershey
Central Theatre with Gloria Swanson in
the title role.
The play is "Manhandled" and Miss
Katherine Bauer will be seen in the role
that was played by Miss Swanson on the
screen. The dressing for this bill is
gorgeous and the scenery is beautiful,
special scenery being obtained for the
production.
It was with great difficulty that Miss
Sherwood obtained this play for the
patrons of the Park Theatre, as it is very
seldom released for a run of just three days.
Be sure to see this pleasing play. There
will be a big demand for tickets, so re-member
and get yours early.
The week of June 8th should be a big one
for Hershey theatre-goers as two of the
highest royalty bills will be presented.
Both "The Seventh Guest" and "Man-handled"
are splendid attractions and
stock managers all over the country are
doing a capacity business with them.
The Hershey Park is a cool place, in
which to spent a hot evening. It is well
ventilated and there are fifteen fans runn-ing
all the time. So why not see these
splendid shows that are being produced
under so agreeable conditions.

I The Smokestack
J SyDee J ay Qee
It is the Month of June .
It is the month of June—
Commencement time
Is here with all its sadness and its gladness,
The sweet girl graduate dolls out her darn-dest,
And drives us with her beauty nigh to mad-ness.
She tells us how she hates
To leave the dear
Beloved schoolhouse where she got her
learning.
To go unaided out to fight life's battles,
Behind her leaving all her bridges burning.
It is a solemn thought,
Of corset is—
She hates from her companions to be
parted,
Saying goodbye to Fresh and Soph and
Junior
Leaves the poor kid—you might say—
broken-hearted.
She gives them some advice,
As is the right
Of one in her newly attained position :
She says each Fresh and Soph and Junior
auto
Have some kind of a whole-souled life
ambition
And, briefly the girl graduate's synphsis,—¦
Whatever that is,—runs a lot like "Thana-topsis."
So live that when thy turn comes round
to pass
From out these Hershey High School
ways for aye,
When gongs have sounded for your final
class,
And the teacher homeward plods his
weary way.
Thou shall have a definite, lofty aim in
view,
The pathway of a future , nobly bright ,
At ev'ry turn you'll know what you 're to
do
To gain another victory for the right.
Be not like the gawky gink that dives
And sticks his head into the river 's mud ,
But have a careful aim and then your
lives
Will never suffer from a jolting thud. "
Whatever we may hatch up to say de-rogatory
to the road oil with which has
lately been treated, we must admit it has
some good qualities.
One of these qualities its stick-to-it-ivc-ness.
"I lead a dog's life,"
Says the light.
"My mistress puts me
Out at night. "
A mountaineer at the age of twenty was
introduced to his first pair of shoes. When
asked by a neighbor how he liked wearing
shoes, he said, "Wal , suh , I kicked out a
rabbit down on the mountain thur yistiddy,
and these yar shoes cramped my style so
bad I thought I never was agom' to run
Mr, Rabbit down. But I finally fetched
it."
When can a man be considered a really
great author?
Our opinion is this. A man is a great
author when he can write a story with a
sad ending and then sit back and watch the
moving picture companies knock one
another down for a chance lo film his story.
Have you forgotten , forgotten when—¦
Young men went sparking Sunday nights?
The llyhruHh was an indis|x:nslble article?
You could gel a g(x>d cigar for a nickel?
Everyone that, was nnylxxly owned a
tack srratchcr ?
The men all wore na]x:r collars and the
women (lower gin (leu hats?
Every young man 'aspired to own a top
buggy ana a high stepping horse?
The slop-pail used to stand by the back
steps just outside the kitchen door?
And yet they want the g<xxl old days
back.
It has been said that both Nebraska and
Nevada became states before there were
any people in them. People came into

Hershe y Loses
Memorial Day
Game to Richland
Inability to hit at opportune times, cost
Hershey the game in their Memorial Day
tilt with Richland by the one-sided score
of 11 to 1. A total of fifteen men left on
bases by Hershey plainly tells the tale of
how weak the Hershey batters were when
hits meant runs, or we might say how
strong the opposing pitcher was m the
pinches.
The game opened with the Hershey team
looking like a million dollars. Sheetz
flied to left , R. Heverling put up a little
pop which Albert easily smothered and
Trexler was out Ream to Smith. In our
half , Miller, after carefully looking them
over, walked. Ream laid down a perfect
bunt along the first base line and was safe
when Seidel dropped the catchers throw.
This seemed to worry Hemmig and he
walked M. Heverling. With the bases
loaded and no one out things looked rosy
for Hershey. Hemmig was in a hole and
was wild and after hitting Albert in the
back and forcing in the run that later
proved to be Hershey's lone tally, was
removed in favor of Boltz. Here Hershey
has its big chance to score several runs,
even a long sacrifice fly would have scored
Ream from third, but the best Smith
usually a dependable batter, could do was
to roll weakly to third and Ream was
nabbed at the plate. Storm then hit to the
pitcher and Heverling was out at home.
Klepper popped a fly to short and Hersheys
chances went glimmering, the side being
retired without a run. Betz deserved a lot
of credit for holding Hershey safe for he
took up the pitching burden with the bags
loaded and none out.
The second inning was fatal to Hershey.
M. Heverling dropped Seidel's fly after a
hard run. Weber connected for two bases
and when Zerbe singled both runners
scored. After Hemmig and Fiddler (lied
out to left and center, Boltz connected for a
single which was quickly followed by
singles by Sheetz and Heverling and a
double by Trexler scoring three more runs.
Heverling was caught at the plate trying
to score on Trexler's double, ending the
inning. With a four run lead, Richland
became confident and although Hershey
threatened to score on numerous occasions
hereafter, twice having all the bases occu-pied
, Boltz tightened and retired the side
without scoring. Richland scored again
in the fourth , fifth , sixth and seventh and
ninth.
The usual large holiday crowd witnessed
the game and although , Richland seemed
to have the majority of the rooters, the
Hershey followers stuck to their guns, even
though they didn 't have much to root
about, until the closing inning when
things looked hopeless for Hershey and
many left very much dejected .
Baseball Pickups
Hie Richland pitcher purposely passeel
Miller in the eighth with first and second
occupied . He wasn't taking any chances
as "Bill" had connected safely twice
earlier in the game.
Shaub was greatly missed in the left
field garden. I lis hitting also could have
IxMm used tog<xxl advantage in Saturday's
game.
Ream's sensational stab on Moon 's hit
in the seventh was the fielding feature of
Sunday 's game. With two on and two
out , M(x)n hit an almost sure two base
play over short. Leaping Into the air ,
'Punk" knocked it down and after a little
juggling act rlvited his hands on the ball for
the third out. It probably saved the game
for I lersliey.
Klep|x;r had two extra Imse blows In
Sunday 's game against Cornwall^ One
was for two and the other for three bags.
This big hoy sure can make the horsehide
travel when he lands on il. Too bad his
extra base blown weren't injected into
Saturday's game.
Hershey pulled a classy double nlay in
the sixth on Sunday, Rcem to Albert to
Smith.

Miles Schaeffer
Meets Runawa y
Horse in Mountains 1
Miles Schaeffer , machinist in the print-ing
department of the Hershey Chocolate
Company, had an unusual and harrowing
experience on Decoration Day.
While ascending the Berkshires, on a
rather steep and mountaneous road, in his
motor car, he espied a runaway horse
coming toward him at a terrific pace.
He had to do some quick thinking. There
wasn't room in the road that would enable
him to draw aside to let the oncoming horse
rush by. The only thing he could do was
to run his car off the road as far as possible,
which he did quicker than one can tell
about it.
In the meanwhile the horse came rushing
on pell-mell, and a trail of dust hid the
mountainside.
Mr. Schaeffer in his Dodge, with the
rear wheels on the road, awaited the im-pact.
On came the horse—and Miles—what
did he do?
He, in deep and sonorous tones, yelled
WHOA!
And what did the runaway horse do?
He stopped I
And Miles, again being equal to the
situation , jumped from his car as quickly
and as agile as a Spark Plug—and he
grasped the horse by the shaft—there was
no halter and with herculean strength
shoved the horse and buckboard around
and sent him the other way.
And the horse may be running yet, for
all we know.

"Go Easy Mabel",
at Park Theatre
Later Part of Week
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
June 4th, 5th and 6th the Sherwood
Players will present the farce-comedy, "Go
Easy Mabel" at the Hershey Park Theatre.
"Go Easy Mabel" was written for
laughing purposes only. It has a laugh a
minute. It has a pleasing plot and loads
of clean fun. If you see "Go Easy Mabel"
and don't laugh well, there is some thing
wrong with your 'Laughing Apparatus'
and you had better see a doctor. This is a
good chance to see if you are in need of
medical attention.
The bill is well cast and there are three
real good women parts in the bill and the
men have equally as good parts. It is a
good 50-50 bill as one would care to see.
The part that Mr. Nunn plays will be a
treat. It is a part that only a man of Mr.
Nunn's calibre could put over. Mr. Nunn
is an actor of the Old School experience,
as well as an up-to-the-minute Broadway
Star, as his past record will show. He just
finished an engagement in "Maytime",
starring with Manon Green and Nancy
Gibbs.
Mr. Nunn has also starred in the "Tan-gerine",
with Frank Crumit and Julia
Sanderson, two of the most widely known
stars of today. Frank Crumit makes
records for the Victor Talking Machine
Company and perhaps many have his
records in the homes at the present time.
Mr. Nunn also had a run of stock in the
"Spring Maid", playing a part that pleased
the public and caused much comment from
many of the producers of today. He was
a great success in one of his best roles in
"Miss Springtime" which enjoyed a run of
41 weeks in the Amsterdam Theatre, New
York City, and was on the road a whole
season. He has also starred in such pro-ductions
as the "Girl of Tomorrow", "The
Red Rose" which he was with three seasons
in the part loved by all that saw him as
Raphael Spiegel ip "The Midnight Girl"
which he impersonated a French Count,
another of his star roles.
It is an honor to have with us one who
has not only starred in a New York pro-duction,
but at least a dozen big road
productions and many more minor ones.
His work has been praised by some of the
best critics of the country, managers and
producers combined. He was the talk of
San Francisco while playing the "Red
Rose" there.
Those that have had the pleasure of
seeing Mr. Nunn work will say that he has
the polish that it takes to put his charac-ters
over and a smoothness that puts his
parts across and we assure you that you
are going to see Mr. Nunn in many many
splendidly acted parts this summer, and
those who see him we know will like him.
The rest of the cast is well fitted and
Miss Sherwood, Miss Bauer and Miss
Howell have exceptionally fine roles.
The cast is as follows:
Tessie Claire Miss Sherwood
Mable Sparks Katherine M. Bauer
Ted Sparks. Clarence LeRoy
George MacDonald Wayne Nunn
Mable Montmorency Nina Howell
Bruce Drenton jack Kearney
Edward Drenton Robert A. Bennett
Mrs. Edward Drenton Maye Blaisdell
