              Plays and players arc equally deserving
of all the splendid things heard about them
on all sides. Mr. Hiilis is offering a
repertoire of plays never seen hereabouts
and his company, so far as ability goes,
is fast moving up into the front ranks.
"The Road to Happiness," presented
during the fore part of this week was a
real delight. The play is a happy blend-ing
of romance and quiet humor. Every
member of the company portrayed the
respective characters in excellent fashion ,
continuing thereby, the excellent reputa-tion
they have established.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this
week the' companion play to "Peg O' My
Heart ," "Molly Pawn , " will be the Man-hattan
Player 's attraction. Its charm
will appeal to men , women and children
alike. One newspaper in reviewing "Mol-ly
Baw- n " saw fit to say that it was "a
comedy gem without a single flaw. " Mr .
Wilbur Braun will sing several selections
during the action of the play.
Next week will prove an unusuall y
interesting one theatrically. Both plays
announced are Metropolitan successes.
The first three days a brilliant little
comedy-drama, "The Girl I Love," will
be staged. There is a pathetic little vein
throughout the play but the hilarious
comedy rounds out an evening of real
enjoyment . There will be one or two new
players introduced in this production.
The first farce-comedy offering by the
Manhattan Players will be "Nearly
Married , " Edgar Selwyn *s uproariously
funny melange. It will be presented the
latter half of next week. "Nearly Mar-ried"
begins and ends in laughter , not for
a single instant does the hilarity cease.
For a succession of great big hearty laughs
don 't fail to see this production. Re-member,
honest , joy ful laughter is the
surest cure for "blues " or indigestion.
Don 't fail to see "Nearly Married. "
Later attractive plays include "The
Christian " by Hall Caine, "Upstairs and
Down, Fhe Truth " by the late Clyde
Fitch , as well as his greatest comedy,
"Girls. " "The Old Homestead" will
also be presented at a future date by the
Manhattans on the Park Theatre stage.
Not only Hersheyites but many from
miles away are regular attendants at the
Park Theatre, with each change of bill.
Neither time nor expense is spared in
giving summer playgoers here unusually
fine stock productions.

Every (lock of chickens in Dauphin
County has hens in it that are not laying.
Many hens never lay enough eggs to pay
for their feed. In order to increase
poultry profits the non-producing lien
must be culled from the flock. The
Dauphin County Farm Bureau has secured
the services of a Poultry specialist from
the State College Poultry Extension De-partment
to show how to cull out these
non-producers. A series of meetings will
be held and everyone will have the oppor-tunity
to learn the methods used by
practiced poultry men to determine the
hens that are loa fers.
The methods used are the result of
many years work with trapnestc-d birds.
A study has been made of the character-istics
of the good and poor producers.
The ease with which the average farmer
or his wife may put into practice the
methods used and the surprising results
obtained when such practices are exercised
has made culling a very important part
of poultry keeping.
Poultry culling demonstration through
arrangements made by the Farm Bureau
will be held upon the following farms in
this locality.
A. II. Eby, near Campbelltown , Thurs-day,
July 29, at 9:30 a. m.
Clarence Risser, near Deodate, Wednes-day,
July 28, at 1:30 p. m.
Edward Swope, near Union Deposit ,
Thursday, July 29, at 1:30 p. m.
These demonstrations will be well
worth while and should mean money to
every farmer. Every farmer and poultry
raiser , who can possibly arrange to do so,
should attend the " demonstration nearest
to him.
By practicing these methods of culling,
non-producing hens are automatically dis-posed
of and at the end of the season there
are left only the best hens of the flock.
By mating these hens to cockerels from
high producing hens, the flock will be
improved from year to year , while, on the
other hand if all the hens -good , bad and
indifferent -are kept and hatched from
the quality and productiveness of the
flock are sure to be lowered. If any man
learns how to properly cull his flock , more
money can be made with fewer hens.
These demonstrations will prove of con-siderable
value and every poultry man if
ill all possible should avail himself of
the wonderful opportunity herein afforded.
An Arti cle of
Interest to Farmers
and Poultrymen
LECTURE BY PRACTIPEDIC FOOT
EXPERT
Nine out of every ten people have fool
trouble of some kind. The foot is the
most abused port ion of the human body.
Do you ever slop for a moment to con-sider
what an important part your feet
piny in your daily activities. They
support the body 's weight and furnish
the power of locomotion. Your health ,
bodily ease and grace depend largely upon
I he feet and good feet will add materially
lo your efficiency and earning capacity.
A faulty machine can 't be reliable.
If things made of steel and bronze won 't
survive carelessness, ' surely such frail
mechanism as the human foot wil l not do
its work without upkeep, it is a matter
of v.ist importance that, everyone should
know whether their feet are alright.
Examination by orthopedic experts should
be made and the proper steps taken to
eliminate any possible trouble.
Painful bunions, corns, numbed toes,
aching arches, excessive odorsome pers-piration
, painful heels, etc., are conditions
which reduce your comfort , health and
happiness and likewise reduce your
efficiency whatsoever one's occupation
may be. These art ) conditions which
may be very quickly erad icated and no
one who .is a sufferer of any of these
wron gs should permit further, delay in
securin g correction and cure ,
Under the auspic es of the Shoe Depart-ment
of the Hershey Store , a Practi pcdic
Foot Expert , specially trained by Dr. Wm.
M, Scholl , the int ernational foot expert ,
will lecture in the Central Thea t re on
Friday ni ght , J uly 24, Lecture will stai 't
at 8:00 o'clock and lar ge audiences are
anticipated. Everybod y is cordially in-vited
to attend. There will bo no ad-mission
char ge. The lecture will bo a
thorough treatise on the foot and will be
illustrated by stereo ptlcan slides.
As the summer season is deepening, as
one warm day follows another , as showers
of refreshing and reviving rain fall as a
mantle upon mother earth , we see through-out
the realm of nature, a rapid urge
towards fulfillment of nature 's purpose
here. Trees, plants and flowers are
steadily progressing under the call of the
kindly elements towards a period of
fruition , that happy season when the
harvester, with a song on his lips and a
cheerfu l glow lighting his countenance ,
garners th e reward which crowns a
season 's labor.
1 lie hay has been cut, dried and
ga t hered into the barns; we can still sense
its most delightf ul aroma. Wheat has
turned into a golden brown and is speedily
being harvested and threshed the whole
wheat from the chaff - the former to be
diverted to the process of supplying whole-some
bread , sustaining and nourishing
to the body, mind and soul of man , the
latter to be used in other ways. Corn in
long, straight rows of beautiful green is
just as surely climbing out and above,
reaching up and into a realm of achieve-ment.
And so it is with vegetation
everywhere, all t hings are steadily growing
and developing until nature 's reward, a
full and complete life , is theirs.
In Hershey we have watched during
the receding weeks the same process of
nature. We have seen flowers and plants
of varied description -thousands of them
--planted in the flowerbeds hereabouts.
They were but small then , being in the
very-cai 'iest stages of development. We
look upon them now and what a remark-able
transformation has taken place.
From the small delie-ate infant plant they
have grown into richly luxuriant , hardy
blooms. From a stage of possibility they
have grown into a wonderfu l life of
reality. On all sides does the eye behold
a glorious example of life in the realm of
nature where fraud and deceit is unknown :
but where purity, reality and fragrant
goodness are the cardinal virtues.
Hershey is a veritable garden spot of
magnificant beauty with its long rolling
lawns of beautifu l green , with its many
artistic floral arrangements in which many
variet ies of lovely specimens are used ,
with its trees marking in double column
each avenue, with the thousands of shrubs
and plants dotting the landscape all and
everything just attaining t heir fullest
stage of development. What a glorious
inspiration it is lo behold such grandeur ,
such magnificant beauty. What an im-portant
factor this is in securing for all of
us a happy state of contentment.
I his vast gardening project in Hershey
is under the personal supervision of C. L.
Schmidt. His knowledge of landscape
work is thorough. Hershey this summer
season particularly, is ample evidence of
that fact, lie is a tireless worker and is
constantly planning or devising some-thing
new , something better that the
surroundings in which we live here may
be made more beautifu l , more glorious.
His arrangements of the many (lower beds
are wonderful achievements in the realm
of graceful beauty, lie has a corps of
efficient workers who are inspired by his
untiring devotion to duly. They render
ii valuable service and cooperate with a
smoothness which characterizes only the
perfect working machine. Worlds of
honest praise and credit are due Mr.
Schmidt and the men of his corps for their
excellent work but they seek it not.
They daily revel in the joy of conscientious
service and as a reward ask onl y t ha t
sense of peace and contentment which
crowns all honest labor and theirs is a
full reward.
Hershey a Garden
of Beauty ; Plants
and Flowers Bloom
Under the active functioning of the
committee on arrange ments, composed
of Dr. M. L. Hershey, A. O. Stine and
R. S. Woomer, plans for the community
picnic are rapidly assuming positive
proportions. Carsonia Park , Reading,
has been selected as the scene for this
happy event and the day, Friday, August
13, has been settled upon.
The excursion train will leave-Hershey
at 7:30 a. m. and returning will leave
Reading at 7:30 p. m. Stops, going and
coming, will be made at Palmyra and
Lebanon. The fares will be including tax?
81.3:1 for adults and S.70 for childre n , five
to twelve years of age.
The Chocolate Company execu t ives
and officials of allied industries have
graciously decided to grant the general
privilege of a day off for the purpose of
attending this outing. The invitation to
attend this picnic is general and includes
especially all living within the area as
marked by Sand Beach , Union Deposit,
Hockersvillc and the Sand Hills. This is
really a Hershey area but the invitation is
as cordially extended to any living beyond.
We want to. make this the festive event
of the year. It is the one big time when
all Hershey can go out together on a
merry lark. Last year 's picnic was a
glorious success. Everyone who attended
reaped a bumper crop of wholesome fun
andamusement. This year 's picnic should
be larger and better for as a progressive
community we must needs surpass any
previous achievement. Let all who can
possibly do so decide to attend and bring
along their very best disposition. Leave
behind the grumbles, the worries , the
cares and irksome responsibilities. Come
along with the crowd , wearing your
broadest smile, and let the spirit of good-will
and fellowship radiate from your
every word and deed.
A canvass of the entire community will
be made by a ticket committee. This
will be your opportunity to secure a place
in the ranks of that happy throng. It is
earnestly urged that tickets be bought
from this committee because it will be
practically impossible for railway agents
to sell tickets on the morning of the
picnic. This is a matter which should not
escape your attention. Buy your ticket
when the canvasser comes lo your home
and save a great deal of confusion at the
station on the morning of picnic. Mark
carefully the day and start your prepara-t
ions early. At any rate don 't miss this
picnic , it will be one of the biggest events
in the annals of Hershev.
