The people of Hershey are not .very
good patronizers of photograph studios,
. at least-as far as D. D. iouser-was. con-cerned,
jj o he discontinued the studio at
the old storeTbuiftung, andTialTopehed up
a studio in Palmyra. This will leave
Lawrence Galebach without any competi-tion.
In fact,Lawrehce tells us he-has so
- much business, that he can hardly attend
to it. , We will have to give! him credit
for knowing how to develop and-print
films. The next time you have some
snaps—stick the roll in your pocket and
hand it to Mr. Galebach—he'll do the rest.
Besides photography Mr. Galebach has
another hobby—figures. My, how he loves
to juggle figures. .^Ir. Galebach's one
diversion is playing a saxaphone—he
hasn't quite got into the Ted Lewis class
as yet—but you never can tell. ; We forgot
to mention that Mr. Galebach is a promi-nent
citizen of Cozy Village, situated
midway between Hershey and Palmyra.

Have you noticed the attractive placards
that are posted announcing the Baby Show
on Thursday evening? The little kiddy
all togged out in his dimpled skin and rosy
cheeks beckoning to you, is a most eye-appealing
design. The originator and de-signer
of this placard is Roy Lloyd, who
also is a fisherman of Dauphin County
repute.
The Hershey Transit Company has gone
on its winter schedule. The only change is
that the last car to Palmyra is 11:00 p. m.

students. Mrs.Charlotte Hume, who is a

Farmer F. B. Snavely, of Gro-More
Farm, near Hummelstown, is unablq to do
any plowing these days, but he is aa busy
as busy can be husking corn, and such like.
He is also kept very busy answering the

In ' Hershey since It was begun nineteen
years ago to fill several books, And there
has been charapters galore and, Incidents
aplenty, and we believe it' would make
mighty good reading, and furthermore
teach a moral. But Mrjsi Oldham threw
cold water on our plot. But we won't be
discouraged—probably we will write it
ourselves some day, and when we, get
through with it Dickens won't have any*
thing on us, There's nothing like hitching
your wagon to a,star. We forgot to men-tion

to present a varied program that will appeal
to any audience. ' ~
Friday, November 10.- Dr. George P.
Bible, a humorous lecturer and entertainer.
Dr. Bible, as an orator and natural humor-ist,
ranks among the foremost. Gifted
with a fine carrying voice and a most pleas-ing
personality, he has a way of putting
forth big truths and clinching them with
sound logic. Every roan/and woman in
Hershey should hear Dr. Bible. You will
like him, and be all the better for having
heard him.
Monday, Spec. 11. The Elias Day
Players in thejplay "Happiness," written
by Hartley Manners, author of "PegO'My
Heart". Laurette Taylor, the famous
actress used this play for two years in New
York and Chicago, besides touring the
country. This play alone is worth the
price of the entire Lyceum Course. There
are three acts and an epilogue. "Happi-ness"
has a universal appeal in every walk
of life.
Monday, January 1. The Philippine
Quartet will give a most delightful and
unusual program. The Philippine Quar-ter

of the company has been "carefully chosen.
"Love Among the Lions" and "Potato
Soup",two short plays will be given by this
delightful trio.
These five entertainments are all of the
very highest standard and merit. Else-where
this Course would cost you at least
$3.00, but the committee has decided to
place the price within the reach of all, as
follows: adults, $2.00; children, $1.00. .
On Friday the committee will begin a
strenuous one-day campaign to sell the
tickets. We trust that np door will be
slammed in their faces, that everybody will
be at home, and that everybody will buy at
least one ticket. You will be the gainers.
it has been decided whatever profits
may accrue, after all expenses have been
paid, will be divided equally between the
Y. W. C. A. and the Hershey Mothers'
Club.
¦i' Let's all of us get back of this Lyceum
Course and make it a wonderful success.
Hershey Defeats
Steelton , 38-0
On Saturday afternoon the Hershey
football team defeated the Steelton eleven
38 to 0, hopelessly outclassing the Smoke-town
contingent in every phase of the game
The features of the game were Kenneth
Stover's all-round playing and Ted Leib's
tackling. When a man passes these two
men he knows he has done a day 's work,
Baer's playing on the line Was splendid
considering the fact that he is a backfield
man, at which place he did some good line
plunging the few times that he carried the
ball. "
Ed. Zimmerman knows how to make a
hole in his opponents line. Putt was a
stone wall on the defencei Schlepfer can
stop anything, and he can advance, and
woe be to a little fellow that gets in his way.
There were other splendid plays during
the game. In fact, the playing of the
whole team was commendable, and the
prospects are that Hershey is going to have
the best football team it has ever had.
What the teams needs is more practice,
especially in their , signals and defensive
play. They also need a few pair of shoes—
a number of the players on Saturday played
in their stocking feet..
There were only fifty-five paid admis-sions
on Saturday afternoon, and only two
pretty girls present, to encourage the boys,
What's the matter, surely there is more red
blood In Hershey than that? Come out
and get in the spirit of the game—it will do
you good, and will do the boys lots of good.
For the next two Saturdays Hershey will
play away from home. On Saturday they
will play Highsplre, and on the following
Saturday they will play Mt. Joy. . , ,

excepting Saturdays. These will be
conducted by the Rev. Dr. J. Webster
Bailey, of Long Island City, N. Y. Dr.

Special music has been arranged for each
evening.
The services will begin at7:30 and a cor-dial
invitation is extended to all who will
attend. While these services are being
held under Presbyterian leadership, they
should not be considered distinctly Presby-terian
in any. sense. The entire Carlisle
Presbytery is arranging for these special
services and great things are expected for
the communities at large.
Y. W. C. A. Notes
At the friendly invitation of the Harris-burg
Y. W. C. A. club girls, Miss Naomi
Renninger and Miss Lena Frehn, delegates
of the T. A. A. Club, and Miss Esther
Brinser and Miss Cleora McKinstry, dele-gates
of the newly formed Industrial Club,
attended the week-end Conference at Wil-liams
Grove. The Girls adopted several
motions which will make their clubs real
and active promoters of the more abundant
life. They made plans and devised the
means to become allround girls extending
their interests and so to become better
citizens of their own town, their country
and the world. The theme of the Con-ference
was: To break down barriers, To
widen the reach of our love, To deepen our
thinking. The Girls came home full of
enthusiasm and ready to get at work right
away.
We are contemplating arrangements for
a musical entertainment by local talent in
the Central Theatre under the auspices of
the Y. W. C. A. in the near future. The
exact date will be announced in the Press
and on the bulletin board in front of the
Men's Club. Do not forget to look for
this date as the evening promises to be very
delightful one.
Miss Mckinstry and Miss Pfahler, both
teachers the Consolidated schools in Her-shey,
state they will be willing to teach
Swedish gym drills, folkdances, gymnastic
games in the large clubroom of the Y. W,
We are very sorry indeed not to be able to
offer any apparatus work for lack of an ad-equate
location, We hope that a great
number of girls and ladies will join these
classes.
MISS LOUISE SHAY WINS $2.50
In last week's issue of the Hershey Press
we published a letter, asking our help in
locating a young lady, who by her honesty
had forfeited $2.50, and who, upon recon-sidering
the matter, had been voted $2.50
by the committee of the Brotherhood Re-lief
and Compensation Fund.
The young lady's name is Miss Louise
Shay, Congratulations.

There was considerable discussion as to
what's the matter with the fire siren that
does not blow when there is a fire, and when
it is blown is so full of water that it sounds
as though it has a cold in the head.
There were other discussions as to—well,
come out to the meeting next month and
hear some inside dope. In' the mean-time,
talk Fair, and save your money for
the Fair, and look around and see who you
think is the prettiest and most popular girl,
and then vote for her at the Fair until it
hurts.

Two Splendid
Movie Bills
The small type of motor car, correspond-ingjwith
the much ridiculed "fliver" plays
the hero role among the props in "Across
the Continent," a new Paramount picture
starring Wallace Reid which comes to the
Hershey Central Theatre on Satureay eve-ning,
October 7th.
"This is the first time," said Byron Mor-gan,
author of the.story and scenario, "that
a small car_of the popular type has been
cast for. a heroic role in a film.* Ordinarilyit
is the big powerful machine that gets in the
limelight. But here we have_ the 'Dent'
car with the star at the wheel, winning' out
and playing a big role in a drama for love
and -business.
"I personally covered some three thous-and
miles obtaining .material for this story,
getting atmosphere and idesa and checking
the mileage to make the picture as accurate
as possible.
"There has not been a real transcontinen-tal
contest for years. Nowadays, it is a. case of a car racing against time, and I have
an idea this may point the way toTFevjval
of the old racing events* if manufacturers
heed the hint given. It can be done and
the picture shows how.
. "Wallace Reid didn't know much about
the type of car he had to drive," but he
learned quickly. You see, he's used to big
powerful motors, and at first the little car
seemed like a toy to him. But he found
that it could make about eighty-five miles-an
hour and then he began to like it."
Mr. Bryon s other stories, transferred to
the screen, starring Mr. Reid, include "Too
Much Speed." "Excuse My Dust," 'What's
Your Hurry'' and "The Roaring Road."
Arizona isn't such a dry state as it is re-puted
to be, according to Thomas Meighan,
Paramount star, who, together with his
director, Alfred Green.and other members
of the cast went to the desert state to film
scenes for his new Paramount Picture, "The
Bachelor Daddy," showing at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Tuesday evening, Oct.
10th, at 7:30 o'clock, Mr. Meighan, how-ever,
just happened to hit the state right in
gie middle of a rainy spell.
"We had just one clear day," said the
star. It's a great country, but living con-ditions
in the town where we stayed are not
what you'd call luxurious. , We lived in an
adobe building and had to keep moving our
beds to escape the rain. But at that, it
was interesting and the mine where we did
most of the scenes is a very fine one."
The dramatic scenes of the picture show-ing
the fight between a band of Mexicans
renegades and a small group of defenders
of a silver mine, were filmed at this spot.
Leatrice Joy is leading woman and heads
a strong supporting cast.
Russel Zentme yer
Was Star Bowler
An unusual amount of interest is being
taken in Hershey's newly instigated bowl-ing
league. The American Legion is or-ganizing
a team while the new Independent
quintette has already challenged the Mec-chanical
Department and the first game of
a series between these two teams will be
played on Wednesday, Oct. 4th, at 730 p.
m.
On Friday evening at 7:30 the mechan-ical
and store departments will meet for
the third time in what will be the deciding
games of a series of 3 sets. Each team
has scored one win. The Store coming
from behind on Friday last surprised the
mechanical department and won the second
set by 54 pins. Russel Zpntmeyer was
largely (responsible for the Store Go's win
and he led his nearest contender by 30 pins.

is a unique municipal proposition and'a
contract for doubling the size of the filter
plant has just finished. The city now con-trols
a third of the islands fronting on its
river-front and steps have been taken to
acquire others. „ Most of them are large

with bathing places along the sandy
beaches.

power plant owners and others obtain-ing
independent supplies from the stream.
The area oppositethe city shows large grass

of the sanitary dam a dozen years
ago. Outlines of fish dams, where few
suspected they existed, have appeared.
Following the controversy over Harris-burg's
comfort station and when construc-tion
is just getting under way, a new line of
litigation- has turned up in the form of a
protest from attorneys of a business house
which protests against the entrance being
located in front of the store. Injunction

what to do about it.
