Big Crowds Expected At Farmers' Show Keen interest is being shown by the farmers of the lower end of Dauphin Coun-ty in the preparing of their exhibits of com, potatoes and poultry for the Third Annual Com, Potato and Poultry Show which opens on Thursday (today) and continuing on Friday and Saturday, which will be held in the basement of the old store building at Hershey. In addition to the judging of these exhibits by State College specialists, a program has been arranged for each day. Judging of corn and potatoes will start Thursday morning at 10.00 o'clock. Mr. E. J. Walters, Com Specialist at the Pennsylvania State College will be the judge. In the evening there will be a meeting in the same building where he will speak on "Corn, the most profitable farm crop." Mr. E. M. Christon, swine spec-ialist at the Pennsylvania State College will discuss the practical and profitable management of swine for the average farm. Friday will be known as poultry day and Mr. H. D. Munroe, Poultry specialist of the Pennsylvania State College will do the judging starting late Thursday after-noon and finishing Friday at noon. On Friday evening he will speak on "Poultry for the average Farm." Considerable controversy has been raised as to just what type of com shells are the best. As a result, a shelling contest has been arranged and fanners desiring to enter this contest are asked to bring 50 pounds of ear com. This will be shelled Thursday afternoon. The farmer whose corn shells the best will secure $2.00 and next best $1.00. The committee in charge of this Show are very anxious to have it understood that the success depends upon the co-operation received by every individual and that it is not who receives first, second, third or fourth prize so much as the educational value received through attending this S^iow. Admission is free and everybody is invited to attend. Y. W. C. A. Classes Are Well Attended The Y. W. C. A. Classes have been meet-ing regularly. The classes are well at-tended and much interest is being shown in the work by both the teachers and the scholars. The Millinery and Basketry classes are doing good work and advancing nicely. The Junior Gymnasium Class is pro-gressing well with their work. This class is open to new members at any time. The class meets every Wednesday afternoon at 4.30 in the Winter Dance Hall. The Bible Class is open to men and women, and all who wish to spend an hour most profitably and pleasantly are invited to come to this class any Monday evening at 7.30. All are welcome. You are invited to come to see these classes in session and see the work they are doing. You may become so interested that you will want to join one or more of them, after you see the work that is being done. Make Use Of the Garbage Man Seemingly there are a number of persons living in Hershey who are under the impression that the vacant lots on the corner of Areba and Java Avenues are for the purpose of dumping refuse and garbage. As previously stated in these columns, Hershey does not have a public dump. All garbage should be placed in containers, which is collected several times a week, and which is taken to the incenerators and burned. The coat of gathering the garbage for each householder is only 10 cents a week. It seems rather strange that any person in Hershey, in order to save so slight a sum, should inconvenience themselves to such an extent as to carry garbage all the way to Java and Areba Avenues. But it seems such is the case. Moreover, these violators use but little discretion or judgment in doing so, dumping the garbage close to the pavement, making it objec-tionable and unsightly to those who live nearby and to passersby. If this practice continues, these violators will be prosecuted. It Is known by the authorities whom these persons are—so a word to the wise ought to suffice. REV. O. C. ROM1G CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY Sunday, Dec. 9, marks an important epoch in the ministerial career of Rev. O, G. Romig, of Hershey, as well as in the history of the Chamber Hill and Ebenezer United Brethren Churches. The thirtieth anniversary of hia entry into the ministry was celebrated in the Chamber Hill United Brethren Church, with a special program. A very appropriate sermon was preached by Rev. S. C. Enck, D. D„ of Harrisburg, the conference superintendent , pn the theme, "The Ideal Preacher." Other special features of the program was the Bulging of three selections by John W. Applebach, of Lancaster, the blind singer, and a recitatlpn entitled, "The Two Pas-torates," by Miss Mary Roop. The Pastor was presented with a purse oi money by both churches and the pastor's wife was remembered by the presentation of thirty carnations and a beautiful plant. The Pastor delivered a short address on a "few reminiscences. " The attendance was large and the church was handsomely decorated for the occasion. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR RALLY ON SUNDAY EVENING The Christian Endeavor societies of the Presbyterian, Fishburn's and United Brethren churches will hold a joint meeting In the First United Brethren church on Sunday evening at 6,30 o'clock. Ah interesting program has been prepared, but ' to make the rally a success every member of each society should be present; Moreover, every member should endeavor to bring at least one friend with them. Christinas Is the Festival of the Children Christmas is, above all other days the festival of the children, and, of merry-making and rejoicing. For nearly nine-teen hundred years the world has cele-brated the birth of the Babe of Bethlehem, and each century as it passed away has seen interest in the festival growing and widening, and men and women more fully realizing the deep meaning which underlies all the outward display of mirth and good-fellowship. The anniversary of the independence of a country, of the birth of a ruler or of any of those events which have left their mark on the page of history and shaped the destiny of a nation have each a limited environ-ment, and are not known beyond certain geographical boundaries. But Christmas has neither metes nor bounds; it belongs to the whole wide world; it is not a heritage of race and language; and it seems to bring scattered tribes and peoples more closely together, and for the tune being imbue them with but one thought and sentiment. The story of Christmas is a beautiful one. It has been pictured on canvas and told in poetry and in song. There is some-thing in it which appeals to the emotions of all, no matter what their faith. The rude manager and the lowing cattle; the young mother and the tender Babe; the wonderful star, guiding the way of the three kings of Orient, as their camel bells tinkled in the sandy desert; the shepherds watching their flocks and listening to the joyous choral that rang through the mid-night air—all these things are part and portion' of Christmas, and are a legacy which is prized by millions of our fellow-men. Philosophers have sought to analyze Christmas and to give a reason for its al-most universal acceptance, but they have been baffled in their efforts. Cynical people, too, have tried to sneer at the festival and make light of its customs, but it has survived both open attack and ridi-cule, and has become an integral part of the Jife of humanity. With the approach of Christmas the business world, the world of every-day people, experience a stimulus in every department of its activities. Streets and stores are crowded; from all parts of the world come the products of busy brains and skillful fingers, to be transferred to thous-ands of homes, to strengthen friendship and make young hearts lighter. Joy and laughter are everywhere, and the cold blasts and the gloomy days with-out only help to accentuate the warmth and the brightness within. If we look no deeper than the bustling crowds, the buying and the present-mak-ing, Christmas may seem to be closely associated with barter and trade. But there is something more in the holiday season than simply a time for a selfish exchange of favors, a matching of present with present, and the buying of more than purses can well afford. The bustle and rush which we witness are but the outwork of a generous and kindly purpose. The buying for giving is .ike all buying, but the giving is the essential thing. There may sometimes be ostentation in Christmas giving; but there is, to some extent, in everything that men and women do. The matching of gifts, which the cnttc looks upon as trade, has its source in the desire to be asking to a friend as that friend has been to us; and the joy of giving is perennial and spontaneous every year, like the buds and blossoms and the song of birds. The fact that Christmas giving is an exchange of things often not needed, and that it tends to mutual loss rather than mutual gain—which is the law of barter— elevates it far above trade. The perennial benevolence which finds its expression in Christmas giving, has the stamp of the divine and the spiritual upon it, and it argues that there is something more in man than the mere materialist sees there. From the youngest up, all of us can see something in Christmas, above and beyond its outward manifestations. It commemo-rates the beginning of a life, which count-less millions of the human race have looked upon as divine—a life of unselfishness, of selfsacrince, of tenderness, of goodness and of purity. We faintly imitate that life when we heal a sorrow, make one heart happier or lighten the burden borne by some tired and weary wnnderer. It may be true that after we have feasted and frolicked we go back to the old lives again. But we can take the spirit of Christmas with us, even if the bells are not ringing and there is no holly gleaming from the wall. That spirit will have its influence for good. The more it is cultivated by young and old the nearer is the world drawing to the golden year, and as the Christmas bells, from hill to hill, answer each other In the mist, we can say: Ring in the valiant man and free, The eager heart, the kindlier hand ; Ring out the darkness of the land , Ring in the Christ that is to be." MRS. PAULECEHRET ENTERTAINS fcWt ILM ¦ ' ¦ ! ¦ ¦— The members of the Always Shining Class of the First United Brethren Sunday School were entertained at the home of Mrs. Paul Gehret, East Derry Road on Thursday evening.

A Hnm Hamilton comedy picture will also be shown. NOTICE The party who removed the extension ladder from the basement of Trinity Lutheran Church Is kindly requested to return same at once, Large Crowds At . Hershey Dept Store "' All over thejHershey Department Store one finds the holiday spirit and thousands of articles fortfhe Christmas season. Al-ready the sales "have been large but many have yet to make their selections and it is urged that they do not put off their buying any longer. Late shopping is never satis-factory. The same attention cannot be given and the same variety cannot be supplied. Shoppers get better results when they take time by the forelock and secure what they want. Just .now it will hot be difficult to shop with satisfaction at the Hershey Depart-ment Store. The stock is the largest ever seen in Hershey. In all of the departments there is practically everything for the home and for the person. The display of modem furniture is especially excellent. Christ-mas should be a time for home furnishing and here are all the articles required. The Store has been fortunate in securing an unusually fine line of silks, dress goods, women's and men's wear, shoes, linens and finery of every description. In fancy articles the supply is very tempting. In fact, there are desirable things in all of the departments, which cover the whole field of merchandise. It is significant that much trade is coming from the surrounding country, so that the Hershey Department Store grows more and more as a big shopp-ing center for lower Lebanon Valley. On the second floor is the children's paradise. There one finds hundreds of dolls and thousands of toys, consisting of trains, trolleys, saw mills and unique mechanical contrivances that will give joy to children for many days to come. These toys are going—be sure to make your purchase this week. Special attention is called to the charac-ter of the jewelry sold at the Department Store. It is strictly standard and depend-able -goods. The most exclusive jewelry stores have nothing better and here it is far cheaper than in other places, because only very reasonable margins are placed upon it and there are no fancy charges for high rentals and other overhead expenses. The Hershey Department Store looks wonderfully attractive, with its Christmas-tide decorations, breathing as it does, the good old-fashioned Christmas spirit, with its festoons, garlands and Christmas trees* wrought fry the •macdEtoach-of^4r--Fred The whole store is a splendid exhibit of modem merchandising and you need not go beyond Hershey to find what you want at prices that cannot be excelled anywhere. "Homeward Bound Full Of Thrills Thrilling rescues at sea, terrific storms, said to equal in realism nature in her angriest mood, an unusually appealing love theme—these are the principal features of "Homeward Bound", a new Paramount picture starring Thomas Meighan, which will be on view at the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening,- Dec. 15th, at 7.45 o'clock. Lila Lee, who played opposite Mr. Meighan in "The Ne'er-Do- Well," is his leading woman in this new screen offering. Mr. Meighan is a seaman in this delight-fully crisp story, while Miss Lee is the daughter of a ship owner who unaccount-ably detests the sailor in his employ. He is unaware that Jim Bedford, the sailor in question, loves his daughter, and that she returns hia love. She goes to sea in a palatial yacht, the command of which had been wrested by Bedford from Svenson, a cowardly skipper. This sets in motion a series of thrilling events which goes far to make this perhaps the best sea picture screened in many months. Of course, the finish, although surprising, is pleasing to the spectator. The supporting players are well known screen artists all of whom add value to the picture as pure entertainment. These include, among others, Charles Abbe, William T. Carleton, Gus Weinberg, Maude Turner Gordon and Cyril Ring. The production was directed by Ralph Ince and the story was written by Peter B. Kyne, under the title, "The Light to Lee-ward." First Number Of Lyceum Course Pleases The first number of the Lyceum Course held under the auspices of the John Elder Men's Bible Class of the Derry Presbyter-ian Church at the Hershey Central Theatre on Monday evening was attended by a large audience who were most appreciative of the excellent work of the MacFarren Symphony Quartet. The MacFarren Quartet rendered In-dividual and ensemble selections from the compositions of the older masters, as well as popular numbers from modern com-posers, through the medium of the violin, viola, cella and piano. On Thursday evening. Jan. 17th, the Maltland Entertainers will be the attrac-iton. FOOTBALBLA NTQEUAEMT GIVEN A The Domestic Science Department gave the members of the football team a banquet in the sewing rooms on Wednesday eve-ning, Dec. 12, with the members of the faculty and their wives as, guests of honor. Needless to say the occasion was a very delightful affair with good cheer and splendid fellowship between teachers and pupils reigning supreme. The following menu was served: Celery, Olives Bouilllon, Roast Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Filling, Giblet Gravy, Peas, Cranberry Sauce, Rolls, Waldorf Salad, Wafers, Ice Cream, Cake, Coffee and Mints. HOW MANY STAMPS HAVE YOU BOUGHT? Have you bought your Christmas Seal stamps? In proportion «a you purchase these little stamps you help to stamp out Tuberculosis, The children from the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh grades are eager to supply you in any quantity. Everybody Should See "Vanity Fair" . The new screen version of Vanity Fair," produced by Hugo Ballin for Gpld-wyn release, with Mabel Ballin starred in the role of Becky Sharp, marks a milestone in the faithful translation to the screen of a great novelist's story. Mr. Ballin made the screen script himself and at all times kept close to the original story. He felt that as "Vanity Fair is one of the glories not alone of Enfrlish, but of world litera-ture that it should be told on the screen as nearly as possible like the story narrated in the novel. So that when "Vanity Fair" is shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday evening, Dec. 20th, at 7.30 o'clock, the public may rest satisfied that it is going to see Thackeray's masterpiece as he told it and not a garbled version with stunts and spectacles which it never occurred to the author to interpolate. This does not mean that Mr. Ballin's production of "Vanity Fair" is not a big production; for it has physical bigness as well as artistic greatness. The big ball scene in Brussels on the eve of the battle of Waterloo is one of the finest scenes of its kind ever translated to the screen. And the Waterloo battle episodes are of a spectacular nature. The producer has stressed clear through the photoplay, however, the human side of the story and the various characters involved. Becky Sharp, the scheming little minx who flatters men and lies and cheats, dominates the film version as she did the novel. Mabel Ballin, charming screen star who has risen rapidly to a dominating position in the film world, plays the role of Becky. In nothing that she has ever done in pictures has she been so completely mistress of the art of acting. Her Becky Sharp lives—"might have stepped out of the pages of the book," as the phrase is. She gives a brilliant performance which will give her new rank in her profession. Goldwyn aided Mr. Ballin in obtaining the services of many of the best known screen actors of the day for his picturiza-tion of "Vanity Fair." Hobart Bosworth, is cast for the role of the Marquis of Steyne a part which he has played on the speaking stage with great success. His characteri-zation of the role in this photoplay is of unusual brilliance. There are many other important players in the cast: George Walsh as Rawdon Crawley; Earle Foxe as Capt. William Dobbin; Harrison Ford as George Osborne; William Louis as Joseph Sedley; William Humphreys as Mr. Sedley; Robert Mack as Sir Pitt Crawley; James Marcus as Old Osborne; Eleanor Boardman as Amelia Sedley; Laura La Varnie as Miss Sedley; Otto Lederer, Frank Hayes and a score of others. fee This new screen version of "Vanity Fair," taking it by and large, is one of the film events of the year. This story has not been put upon the screen for more than ten years in which time there has been a great improvement in the mechanical processes by which pictures are made, in the motion picture camera and in projection machine-ry. It is a great story magnificently translated to the screen. $10,000 Paid Out To Christmas Fund The Christmas Fund has been a great success ever since it was started by the Hershey Trust Company several years ago. This year it reached to $10,000 and was participated in by 300 depositors, and to each has been mailed a check representing his or her part of it. The money comes at a time for the Christmas buying and those who received checks were made happy. The Fund for 1924 is now being opened, and everyone in Hershey is invited to participate. The classes are as follows: Class No. 1, payment 25c a week for 50 weeks, pays $12.50, plus interest. Class No. 2, payment 50c a week for 50 weeks, pays $25.00, plus interest. Class No. 3, payment $1.00 a week for 50 weeks, pays $50.00, plus interest. Class No. 4, payment $2.00 a week for 50 weeks, pays $100.00, plus interest. Utelem Breaks Camp The doors of the Log Cabin Hunting Lodge in the South Mountains, were closed Sunday afternoon which terminated a fairly successful hunting trip—the party consisted of hunters from east as far as Lebanon and west as far as Meycrsdale, as follows: Arthur Kindt, Lebanon; W. C. Stotler, C. E. Stotler , C. F. Rowe, S. D. Cramer (Lottie) and Chef Taylor, from Meycrsdale; Irvin Sless.r, E. Cain, J. O. Shearer, R, S. Boyer, W. S. Darcas, Grover C. Sheckart, E. J. Look, Paul G. Shultz, E. W. Schwenk, George K. Feaser, George C. Hench, Daniel Swope, Lewis P. Em-erick, Dr. L. Edwards, Wm. Rcldel, T. L. Mcllcfley, R. E. Shrcfller, A. E. Llngle, W. L. Belser and J. E. Loy, of Hershey and John Sheckart, ofColumbla. One eight-point and one four-point buck deer was bagged by the camp, saying nothing of the crack snots made at Mr. Cottontail. fcV Lottie was the camp mascot supposedly a nice little fox terrier and she was offered as a prize to anyone who could tell a better story than Sam Cramer. Sanvwon. DEPARTMENT STORE OPEN EVENINGS NEXT WEEK The Hershey Department Store will be open evenings all next week. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday eve-nings until 8 o'clock. And the remainder of the Christmas shopping days until 0 o'clock. PftWHfWr We would suggest that you do your Christmas shopping NOW. CHRISTMAS MUSIC AT THE DEPARTMENT STORE Christmas Carols will be sung by the pupils of the Hershey School at the Her-shey Department Store on Friday evening of next week, and on Monday evening, at 7.15 .o'clock, under the direction of Mlsa Leah Burns. On Saturday evening the Banjo-Saxo orchMtnt will furnish music. Community Xmas Tree On Monday, Dec. 24th Santa Claus will be at the Hershey Community Christmas Tree at the Her-shey Winter Dance Hall on Monday eve-ning, Dec. 24th, at 6.00 o'clock, and he will distribute gifts to each child presenting one of the cards that are being given to the children this week by Prof. A. M. Hinkel, who has charge of giving out these cards. Each child in Derry Township schools up to 8 years has received one of these cards. These cards will -also be given to the babies and wee tots, and if the parents will kindly send in the names of their little ones to Prof. Hinkel he will be pleased to send them their cards. It is essential that this be done immedi-ately as the committee in charge of the Community Christmas Tree must know exactly how many gifts to provide for. Kindly do this NOW. Preceding the arrival of Santa Claus the children of the Hershey Industrial School will sing a number of their Christmas songs, as will the children of the Hershey Schools. The people of the community are con-tributing toward this fund in a liberal spirit. Of course, when 800 children are to be provided for, it is going to take quite a few dollars. Up to this time half of the amount necessary has been contributed. Have you done your share? This is a community affair, so let each one of us get back of it with that viewpoint in mind, not forgetful that of every dollar that we give six little kiddies are going to be made happy. Do not fail to be a Santa Claus beyond the confines of your own four walls. All children look forward to the coming of Santa Claus., They have faith in his coming. You can help them at Christmas time, bringing joy and sunshine into then-lives. And it takes so little. Hershey Beauty Parlor Well Patronized The Hershey Beauty Parlor was opened auspicuously last week by Mrs. Nellie Shay, who is a graduate of the Harrisburg School of Beauty Culture, and the patro-nage by the ladies of Hershey and vicinity has been most encouraging. Mrs. Shea excels in shampooing, marcel waving, round curling, bob curling, scalp treatments, massages, acne treatments and manicuring. She gives special facial treat-ments for coarse pores, eyebrow shaping, depilatory applications, etc. The beauty parlor, which is located on the second floor of the Hershey Depart-ment Store, is the last word in beauty parlors—it is exquisite. Moreover, the equipment is of the latest design and pattern, and the methods used are modem. The beauty parlor is open from 9.00 o'clock until 6.00 o'clock, each day, except-ing on Saturday wHen the closing hour will be 9.00 o'clock. For those who are unable to come to the parlor during these hours, special evening appointments can be made. For these appointments, call Bell 28-M. Anotele cosmetics and a full line of hair goods are on sale at the parlor. 215Childrenbnmunized from Diphtheria The campaign to immunize the children of Hershey and vicinity from diphtheria met with a ready co-operation from the parents, with a result that 80 school children, 135 pre-school children and ' 50 adults took the treatment. The treatments were free during the month of November, to all children from 6 months to 6 years, the expense incurred being paid from the State appropriation. The innoculation was done by Dr. J. Landis Zimmerman and Miss Elizabeth High, the community nurse. The pro-cedure was harmless, and there were no sore arms such as when vaccinated for small pox. Altho the free treatment period is passed, we would advise every parent to immunize their children, if they have not already done so. Diphtheria is a dreaded disease, so why not immunize your child. The injections are harmless but give absolute and permanent protection against the disease. Hot Lunches at Hershey School Through the co-operation of the Red Cross organization and the Principal, the children of the Derry Township Schools who are not able to go home for their noon day meal, will be able to purchase at least one hot dish each day in the lunch rooms at the school to supplement the lunches that they bring from home. This dish will be offered to the children for five cents and a roll for a cent extra. It is the aim to serve something that is really nourishing for a mere nominal price, and that the pupils may be greatly benefited physically by such an opportunity. Upwards of four hundred pupils bring their |unchea to school every day and the lunch rooms are greatly congested so that it Is difficult to serve hot lunches effective-ly. The children seem to welcome the hew project as shown by the fact that on the first day about 160 pupils were served with noodle soup and a roll. Mrs. Fasnacht has charge of the lunches and she will make an effort to vary the menu as much as possible during the week. The patrons of the school are urged to visit the lunch rooms at the time the lunches ore being served, 11.45, WOMEN'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY TO MEET THURSDAYi The regular monthly meeting of the Women's Missionary Society of the First United Brethren Church will be held on Thursday evening, Dec. 13th, at 7.30 o'clock, at the home of Mrs, John Mover, Chocolate Avenue.

Full Text | Big Crowds Expected At Farmers' Show Keen interest is being shown by the farmers of the lower end of Dauphin Coun-ty in the preparing of their exhibits of com, potatoes and poultry for the Third Annual Com, Potato and Poultry Show which opens on Thursday (today) and continuing on Friday and Saturday, which will be held in the basement of the old store building at Hershey. In addition to the judging of these exhibits by State College specialists, a program has been arranged for each day. Judging of corn and potatoes will start Thursday morning at 10.00 o'clock. Mr. E. J. Walters, Com Specialist at the Pennsylvania State College will be the judge. In the evening there will be a meeting in the same building where he will speak on "Corn, the most profitable farm crop." Mr. E. M. Christon, swine spec-ialist at the Pennsylvania State College will discuss the practical and profitable management of swine for the average farm. Friday will be known as poultry day and Mr. H. D. Munroe, Poultry specialist of the Pennsylvania State College will do the judging starting late Thursday after-noon and finishing Friday at noon. On Friday evening he will speak on "Poultry for the average Farm." Considerable controversy has been raised as to just what type of com shells are the best. As a result, a shelling contest has been arranged and fanners desiring to enter this contest are asked to bring 50 pounds of ear com. This will be shelled Thursday afternoon. The farmer whose corn shells the best will secure $2.00 and next best $1.00. The committee in charge of this Show are very anxious to have it understood that the success depends upon the co-operation received by every individual and that it is not who receives first, second, third or fourth prize so much as the educational value received through attending this S^iow. Admission is free and everybody is invited to attend. Y. W. C. A. Classes Are Well Attended The Y. W. C. A. Classes have been meet-ing regularly. The classes are well at-tended and much interest is being shown in the work by both the teachers and the scholars. The Millinery and Basketry classes are doing good work and advancing nicely. The Junior Gymnasium Class is pro-gressing well with their work. This class is open to new members at any time. The class meets every Wednesday afternoon at 4.30 in the Winter Dance Hall. The Bible Class is open to men and women, and all who wish to spend an hour most profitably and pleasantly are invited to come to this class any Monday evening at 7.30. All are welcome. You are invited to come to see these classes in session and see the work they are doing. You may become so interested that you will want to join one or more of them, after you see the work that is being done. Make Use Of the Garbage Man Seemingly there are a number of persons living in Hershey who are under the impression that the vacant lots on the corner of Areba and Java Avenues are for the purpose of dumping refuse and garbage. As previously stated in these columns, Hershey does not have a public dump. All garbage should be placed in containers, which is collected several times a week, and which is taken to the incenerators and burned. The coat of gathering the garbage for each householder is only 10 cents a week. It seems rather strange that any person in Hershey, in order to save so slight a sum, should inconvenience themselves to such an extent as to carry garbage all the way to Java and Areba Avenues. But it seems such is the case. Moreover, these violators use but little discretion or judgment in doing so, dumping the garbage close to the pavement, making it objec-tionable and unsightly to those who live nearby and to passersby. If this practice continues, these violators will be prosecuted. It Is known by the authorities whom these persons are—so a word to the wise ought to suffice. REV. O. C. ROM1G CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY Sunday, Dec. 9, marks an important epoch in the ministerial career of Rev. O, G. Romig, of Hershey, as well as in the history of the Chamber Hill and Ebenezer United Brethren Churches. The thirtieth anniversary of hia entry into the ministry was celebrated in the Chamber Hill United Brethren Church, with a special program. A very appropriate sermon was preached by Rev. S. C. Enck, D. D„ of Harrisburg, the conference superintendent , pn the theme, "The Ideal Preacher." Other special features of the program was the Bulging of three selections by John W. Applebach, of Lancaster, the blind singer, and a recitatlpn entitled, "The Two Pas-torates," by Miss Mary Roop. The Pastor was presented with a purse oi money by both churches and the pastor's wife was remembered by the presentation of thirty carnations and a beautiful plant. The Pastor delivered a short address on a "few reminiscences. " The attendance was large and the church was handsomely decorated for the occasion. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR RALLY ON SUNDAY EVENING The Christian Endeavor societies of the Presbyterian, Fishburn's and United Brethren churches will hold a joint meeting In the First United Brethren church on Sunday evening at 6,30 o'clock. Ah interesting program has been prepared, but ' to make the rally a success every member of each society should be present; Moreover, every member should endeavor to bring at least one friend with them. Christinas Is the Festival of the Children Christmas is, above all other days the festival of the children, and, of merry-making and rejoicing. For nearly nine-teen hundred years the world has cele-brated the birth of the Babe of Bethlehem, and each century as it passed away has seen interest in the festival growing and widening, and men and women more fully realizing the deep meaning which underlies all the outward display of mirth and good-fellowship. The anniversary of the independence of a country, of the birth of a ruler or of any of those events which have left their mark on the page of history and shaped the destiny of a nation have each a limited environ-ment, and are not known beyond certain geographical boundaries. But Christmas has neither metes nor bounds; it belongs to the whole wide world; it is not a heritage of race and language; and it seems to bring scattered tribes and peoples more closely together, and for the tune being imbue them with but one thought and sentiment. The story of Christmas is a beautiful one. It has been pictured on canvas and told in poetry and in song. There is some-thing in it which appeals to the emotions of all, no matter what their faith. The rude manager and the lowing cattle; the young mother and the tender Babe; the wonderful star, guiding the way of the three kings of Orient, as their camel bells tinkled in the sandy desert; the shepherds watching their flocks and listening to the joyous choral that rang through the mid-night air—all these things are part and portion' of Christmas, and are a legacy which is prized by millions of our fellow-men. Philosophers have sought to analyze Christmas and to give a reason for its al-most universal acceptance, but they have been baffled in their efforts. Cynical people, too, have tried to sneer at the festival and make light of its customs, but it has survived both open attack and ridi-cule, and has become an integral part of the Jife of humanity. With the approach of Christmas the business world, the world of every-day people, experience a stimulus in every department of its activities. Streets and stores are crowded; from all parts of the world come the products of busy brains and skillful fingers, to be transferred to thous-ands of homes, to strengthen friendship and make young hearts lighter. Joy and laughter are everywhere, and the cold blasts and the gloomy days with-out only help to accentuate the warmth and the brightness within. If we look no deeper than the bustling crowds, the buying and the present-mak-ing, Christmas may seem to be closely associated with barter and trade. But there is something more in the holiday season than simply a time for a selfish exchange of favors, a matching of present with present, and the buying of more than purses can well afford. The bustle and rush which we witness are but the outwork of a generous and kindly purpose. The buying for giving is .ike all buying, but the giving is the essential thing. There may sometimes be ostentation in Christmas giving; but there is, to some extent, in everything that men and women do. The matching of gifts, which the cnttc looks upon as trade, has its source in the desire to be asking to a friend as that friend has been to us; and the joy of giving is perennial and spontaneous every year, like the buds and blossoms and the song of birds. The fact that Christmas giving is an exchange of things often not needed, and that it tends to mutual loss rather than mutual gain—which is the law of barter— elevates it far above trade. The perennial benevolence which finds its expression in Christmas giving, has the stamp of the divine and the spiritual upon it, and it argues that there is something more in man than the mere materialist sees there. From the youngest up, all of us can see something in Christmas, above and beyond its outward manifestations. It commemo-rates the beginning of a life, which count-less millions of the human race have looked upon as divine—a life of unselfishness, of selfsacrince, of tenderness, of goodness and of purity. We faintly imitate that life when we heal a sorrow, make one heart happier or lighten the burden borne by some tired and weary wnnderer. It may be true that after we have feasted and frolicked we go back to the old lives again. But we can take the spirit of Christmas with us, even if the bells are not ringing and there is no holly gleaming from the wall. That spirit will have its influence for good. The more it is cultivated by young and old the nearer is the world drawing to the golden year, and as the Christmas bells, from hill to hill, answer each other In the mist, we can say: Ring in the valiant man and free, The eager heart, the kindlier hand ; Ring out the darkness of the land , Ring in the Christ that is to be." MRS. PAULECEHRET ENTERTAINS fcWt ILM ¦ ' ¦ ! ¦ ¦— The members of the Always Shining Class of the First United Brethren Sunday School were entertained at the home of Mrs. Paul Gehret, East Derry Road on Thursday evening.

A Hnm Hamilton comedy picture will also be shown. NOTICE The party who removed the extension ladder from the basement of Trinity Lutheran Church Is kindly requested to return same at once, Large Crowds At . Hershey Dept Store "' All over thejHershey Department Store one finds the holiday spirit and thousands of articles fortfhe Christmas season. Al-ready the sales "have been large but many have yet to make their selections and it is urged that they do not put off their buying any longer. Late shopping is never satis-factory. The same attention cannot be given and the same variety cannot be supplied. Shoppers get better results when they take time by the forelock and secure what they want. Just .now it will hot be difficult to shop with satisfaction at the Hershey Depart-ment Store. The stock is the largest ever seen in Hershey. In all of the departments there is practically everything for the home and for the person. The display of modem furniture is especially excellent. Christ-mas should be a time for home furnishing and here are all the articles required. The Store has been fortunate in securing an unusually fine line of silks, dress goods, women's and men's wear, shoes, linens and finery of every description. In fancy articles the supply is very tempting. In fact, there are desirable things in all of the departments, which cover the whole field of merchandise. It is significant that much trade is coming from the surrounding country, so that the Hershey Department Store grows more and more as a big shopp-ing center for lower Lebanon Valley. On the second floor is the children's paradise. There one finds hundreds of dolls and thousands of toys, consisting of trains, trolleys, saw mills and unique mechanical contrivances that will give joy to children for many days to come. These toys are going—be sure to make your purchase this week. Special attention is called to the charac-ter of the jewelry sold at the Department Store. It is strictly standard and depend-able -goods. The most exclusive jewelry stores have nothing better and here it is far cheaper than in other places, because only very reasonable margins are placed upon it and there are no fancy charges for high rentals and other overhead expenses. The Hershey Department Store looks wonderfully attractive, with its Christmas-tide decorations, breathing as it does, the good old-fashioned Christmas spirit, with its festoons, garlands and Christmas trees* wrought fry the •macdEtoach-of^4r--Fred The whole store is a splendid exhibit of modem merchandising and you need not go beyond Hershey to find what you want at prices that cannot be excelled anywhere. "Homeward Bound Full Of Thrills Thrilling rescues at sea, terrific storms, said to equal in realism nature in her angriest mood, an unusually appealing love theme—these are the principal features of "Homeward Bound", a new Paramount picture starring Thomas Meighan, which will be on view at the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening,- Dec. 15th, at 7.45 o'clock. Lila Lee, who played opposite Mr. Meighan in "The Ne'er-Do- Well," is his leading woman in this new screen offering. Mr. Meighan is a seaman in this delight-fully crisp story, while Miss Lee is the daughter of a ship owner who unaccount-ably detests the sailor in his employ. He is unaware that Jim Bedford, the sailor in question, loves his daughter, and that she returns hia love. She goes to sea in a palatial yacht, the command of which had been wrested by Bedford from Svenson, a cowardly skipper. This sets in motion a series of thrilling events which goes far to make this perhaps the best sea picture screened in many months. Of course, the finish, although surprising, is pleasing to the spectator. The supporting players are well known screen artists all of whom add value to the picture as pure entertainment. These include, among others, Charles Abbe, William T. Carleton, Gus Weinberg, Maude Turner Gordon and Cyril Ring. The production was directed by Ralph Ince and the story was written by Peter B. Kyne, under the title, "The Light to Lee-ward." First Number Of Lyceum Course Pleases The first number of the Lyceum Course held under the auspices of the John Elder Men's Bible Class of the Derry Presbyter-ian Church at the Hershey Central Theatre on Monday evening was attended by a large audience who were most appreciative of the excellent work of the MacFarren Symphony Quartet. The MacFarren Quartet rendered In-dividual and ensemble selections from the compositions of the older masters, as well as popular numbers from modern com-posers, through the medium of the violin, viola, cella and piano. On Thursday evening. Jan. 17th, the Maltland Entertainers will be the attrac-iton. FOOTBALBLA NTQEUAEMT GIVEN A The Domestic Science Department gave the members of the football team a banquet in the sewing rooms on Wednesday eve-ning, Dec. 12, with the members of the faculty and their wives as, guests of honor. Needless to say the occasion was a very delightful affair with good cheer and splendid fellowship between teachers and pupils reigning supreme. The following menu was served: Celery, Olives Bouilllon, Roast Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Filling, Giblet Gravy, Peas, Cranberry Sauce, Rolls, Waldorf Salad, Wafers, Ice Cream, Cake, Coffee and Mints.

In proportion «a you purchase these little stamps you help to stamp out Tuberculosis, The children from the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh grades are eager to supply you in any quantity. Everybody Should See "Vanity Fair" . The new screen version of Vanity Fair," produced by Hugo Ballin for Gpld-wyn release, with Mabel Ballin starred in the role of Becky Sharp, marks a milestone in the faithful translation to the screen of a great novelist's story. Mr. Ballin made the screen script himself and at all times kept close to the original story. He felt that as "Vanity Fair is one of the glories not alone of Enfrlish, but of world litera-ture that it should be told on the screen as nearly as possible like the story narrated in the novel. So that when "Vanity Fair" is shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday evening, Dec. 20th, at 7.30 o'clock, the public may rest satisfied that it is going to see Thackeray's masterpiece as he told it and not a garbled version with stunts and spectacles which it never occurred to the author to interpolate. This does not mean that Mr. Ballin's production of "Vanity Fair" is not a big production; for it has physical bigness as well as artistic greatness. The big ball scene in Brussels on the eve of the battle of Waterloo is one of the finest scenes of its kind ever translated to the screen. And the Waterloo battle episodes are of a spectacular nature. The producer has stressed clear through the photoplay, however, the human side of the story and the various characters involved. Becky Sharp, the scheming little minx who flatters men and lies and cheats, dominates the film version as she did the novel. Mabel Ballin, charming screen star who has risen rapidly to a dominating position in the film world, plays the role of Becky. In nothing that she has ever done in pictures has she been so completely mistress of the art of acting. Her Becky Sharp lives—"might have stepped out of the pages of the book," as the phrase is. She gives a brilliant performance which will give her new rank in her profession. Goldwyn aided Mr. Ballin in obtaining the services of many of the best known screen actors of the day for his picturiza-tion of "Vanity Fair." Hobart Bosworth, is cast for the role of the Marquis of Steyne a part which he has played on the speaking stage with great success. His characteri-zation of the role in this photoplay is of unusual brilliance. There are many other important players in the cast: George Walsh as Rawdon Crawley; Earle Foxe as Capt. William Dobbin; Harrison Ford as George Osborne; William Louis as Joseph Sedley; William Humphreys as Mr. Sedley; Robert Mack as Sir Pitt Crawley; James Marcus as Old Osborne; Eleanor Boardman as Amelia Sedley; Laura La Varnie as Miss Sedley; Otto Lederer, Frank Hayes and a score of others. fee This new screen version of "Vanity Fair," taking it by and large, is one of the film events of the year. This story has not been put upon the screen for more than ten years in which time there has been a great improvement in the mechanical processes by which pictures are made, in the motion picture camera and in projection machine-ry. It is a great story magnificently translated to the screen. $10,000 Paid Out To Christmas Fund The Christmas Fund has been a great success ever since it was started by the Hershey Trust Company several years ago. This year it reached to $10,000 and was participated in by 300 depositors, and to each has been mailed a check representing his or her part of it. The money comes at a time for the Christmas buying and those who received checks were made happy. The Fund for 1924 is now being opened, and everyone in Hershey is invited to participate. The classes are as follows: Class No. 1, payment 25c a week for 50 weeks, pays $12.50, plus interest. Class No. 2, payment 50c a week for 50 weeks, pays $25.00, plus interest. Class No. 3, payment $1.00 a week for 50 weeks, pays $50.00, plus interest. Class No. 4, payment $2.00 a week for 50 weeks, pays $100.00, plus interest. Utelem Breaks Camp The doors of the Log Cabin Hunting Lodge in the South Mountains, were closed Sunday afternoon which terminated a fairly successful hunting trip—the party consisted of hunters from east as far as Lebanon and west as far as Meycrsdale, as follows: Arthur Kindt, Lebanon; W. C. Stotler, C. E. Stotler , C. F. Rowe, S. D. Cramer (Lottie) and Chef Taylor, from Meycrsdale; Irvin Sless.r, E. Cain, J. O. Shearer, R, S. Boyer, W. S. Darcas, Grover C. Sheckart, E. J. Look, Paul G. Shultz, E. W. Schwenk, George K. Feaser, George C. Hench, Daniel Swope, Lewis P. Em-erick, Dr. L. Edwards, Wm. Rcldel, T. L. Mcllcfley, R. E. Shrcfller, A. E. Llngle, W. L. Belser and J. E. Loy, of Hershey and John Sheckart, ofColumbla. One eight-point and one four-point buck deer was bagged by the camp, saying nothing of the crack snots made at Mr. Cottontail. fcV Lottie was the camp mascot supposedly a nice little fox terrier and she was offered as a prize to anyone who could tell a better story than Sam Cramer. Sanvwon. DEPARTMENT STORE OPEN EVENINGS NEXT WEEK The Hershey Department Store will be open evenings all next week. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday eve-nings until 8 o'clock. And the remainder of the Christmas shopping days until 0 o'clock. PftWHfWr We would suggest that you do your Christmas shopping NOW. CHRISTMAS MUSIC AT THE DEPARTMENT STORE Christmas Carols will be sung by the pupils of the Hershey School at the Her-shey Department Store on Friday evening of next week, and on Monday evening, at 7.15 .o'clock, under the direction of Mlsa Leah Burns. On Saturday evening the Banjo-Saxo orchMtnt will furnish music. Community Xmas Tree On Monday, Dec. 24th Santa Claus will be at the Hershey Community Christmas Tree at the Her-shey Winter Dance Hall on Monday eve-ning, Dec. 24th, at 6.00 o'clock, and he will distribute gifts to each child presenting one of the cards that are being given to the children this week by Prof. A. M. Hinkel, who has charge of giving out these cards. Each child in Derry Township schools up to 8 years has received one of these cards. These cards will -also be given to the babies and wee tots, and if the parents will kindly send in the names of their little ones to Prof. Hinkel he will be pleased to send them their cards. It is essential that this be done immedi-ately as the committee in charge of the Community Christmas Tree must know exactly how many gifts to provide for. Kindly do this NOW. Preceding the arrival of Santa Claus the children of the Hershey Industrial School will sing a number of their Christmas songs, as will the children of the Hershey Schools. The people of the community are con-tributing toward this fund in a liberal spirit. Of course, when 800 children are to be provided for, it is going to take quite a few dollars. Up to this time half of the amount necessary has been contributed. Have you done your share? This is a community affair, so let each one of us get back of it with that viewpoint in mind, not forgetful that of every dollar that we give six little kiddies are going to be made happy. Do not fail to be a Santa Claus beyond the confines of your own four walls. All children look forward to the coming of Santa Claus., They have faith in his coming. You can help them at Christmas time, bringing joy and sunshine into then-lives. And it takes so little. Hershey Beauty Parlor Well Patronized The Hershey Beauty Parlor was opened auspicuously last week by Mrs. Nellie Shay, who is a graduate of the Harrisburg School of Beauty Culture, and the patro-nage by the ladies of Hershey and vicinity has been most encouraging. Mrs. Shea excels in shampooing, marcel waving, round curling, bob curling, scalp treatments, massages, acne treatments and manicuring. She gives special facial treat-ments for coarse pores, eyebrow shaping, depilatory applications, etc. The beauty parlor, which is located on the second floor of the Hershey Depart-ment Store, is the last word in beauty parlors—it is exquisite. Moreover, the equipment is of the latest design and pattern, and the methods used are modem. The beauty parlor is open from 9.00 o'clock until 6.00 o'clock, each day, except-ing on Saturday wHen the closing hour will be 9.00 o'clock. For those who are unable to come to the parlor during these hours, special evening appointments can be made. For these appointments, call Bell 28-M. Anotele cosmetics and a full line of hair goods are on sale at the parlor. 215Childrenbnmunized from Diphtheria The campaign to immunize the children of Hershey and vicinity from diphtheria met with a ready co-operation from the parents, with a result that 80 school children, 135 pre-school children and ' 50 adults took the treatment. The treatments were free during the month of November, to all children from 6 months to 6 years, the expense incurred being paid from the State appropriation. The innoculation was done by Dr. J. Landis Zimmerman and Miss Elizabeth High, the community nurse. The pro-cedure was harmless, and there were no sore arms such as when vaccinated for small pox. Altho the free treatment period is passed, we would advise every parent to immunize their children, if they have not already done so. Diphtheria is a dreaded disease, so why not immunize your child. The injections are harmless but give absolute and permanent protection against the disease. Hot Lunches at Hershey School Through the co-operation of the Red Cross organization and the Principal, the children of the Derry Township Schools who are not able to go home for their noon day meal, will be able to purchase at least one hot dish each day in the lunch rooms at the school to supplement the lunches that they bring from home. This dish will be offered to the children for five cents and a roll for a cent extra. It is the aim to serve something that is really nourishing for a mere nominal price, and that the pupils may be greatly benefited physically by such an opportunity. Upwards of four hundred pupils bring their |unchea to school every day and the lunch rooms are greatly congested so that it Is difficult to serve hot lunches effective-ly. The children seem to welcome the hew project as shown by the fact that on the first day about 160 pupils were served with noodle soup and a roll. Mrs. Fasnacht has charge of the lunches and she will make an effort to vary the menu as much as possible during the week. The patrons of the school are urged to visit the lunch rooms at the time the lunches ore being served, 11.45, WOMEN'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY TO MEET THURSDAYi The regular monthly meeting of the Women's Missionary Society of the First United Brethren Church will be held on Thursday evening, Dec. 13th, at 7.30 o'clock, at the home of Mrs, John Mover, Chocolate Avenue.
