news that may make it possible for him to
be riding around in a Packard. But in the
meantime he is willing to give you the best

favorite form of dramatic entertainment
during recent years. We are certain this
artistic little trio will prove an innovation
of great nierit-^worthy of the backing of
the' best minds of 'Communities—yet cap-able
of giving delightful entertainment to
¦everyone; .¦."."-¦
;/ - ':\ .?"'; ' ' .. '
• The program is unique, while the person-nel
of the company, has been carefully
chosen. "Love Among the Ljons" and
"Potato Soup," two short plays^ will be
given by this delightful trio; these plays
are of real heart interest, and are presented
by artists of experience and thorough
schooling; as a prelude and interlude to
these plays there will be music of such
character as to lend atmosphere to them.
Mr. Keith Conover, a manly actor, is
also a baritone of exceptional quality. Miss
Thora Keeler, is especially suited for the
parts in which she is cast, small and petite
with an infinite fund of humor which lies
next to tears. ' In interludes she presents
some of- her child, impersonations. Miss
Evelyn Fonda plays leading 'roles in the
sketches and is also a very fine musician. .
We can-think of no program that will
have a more popular appeal. '» ; ¦
The townspeople should turn out eh-masse
on: this evening, for, this is going to
be one of the best numbers of the course.
' Moreover, there remains ; a deficit of
$25.00, arid the ladies', who are the guaran-tors
of the Course,'will have to makejup
this deficiency unless the.fifty .additional
people attend the last number. '
Surely there are fifty persons in Hershey
and vicinity, in addition to those who have
already bought season tickets', who will
want to see "The National Trio," and
which will enable the ladies to come out
even—financially at least. They have
put in a good deal of their time looking
after the many details of putting ori this
splendid Lyceum Course in Hershey. They
have done their part, so let's us arise to the
occasion and do our part.
Hold Health *
•Contest In Schools
For the purpose of bringing about great-er
interest in "Health", a composition
contest was held in the 6th Grade of the
Hershey Schools. Miss Lois PfahleT,
teacher of Hygiene, offered a prize in each
room for the best original composition.
The subject was "How to be healthy
and strong". Neatness, spelling, form and
subject matter were the points considered
in judging. .
Victor DeAngelis wrote the best com-position
in 6B, while George Bohner wrote
the best in 6B. The prize, which was a
pocket knife, was awarded each boy.
The compositions are as follows:
Once there was a little boy, who lived in
a big, clean house. He went to school and
learned many ways by which he could keep
healthy and strong. He was always nice
and clean, and combed his hair every day.
He drank milk every day, took a bath
about twice a week, brushed his teeth, and
played out-of-doors as much as possible
taking plenty of exercises.
All the boys and girls liked him very
much. If he would see a boy or girl who
wasn't clean, he would show them how to
be, clean, healthy, and strong. When he
went home in the evening after school, he
did his. home work. Then when it was
time to go to bed, he brushed his teeth,
washed his hands and face, opened his
windows and got into bed.
After about ten hours sleep, he got up,
washed his hands and face, brushed his
teeth,. and went to breakfast. He ate
cooked cereals, and ran off to school, where
he could learn more about being healthy.
—Victor DeAngelis, 6B
Jack Colby was the son of a wealthy
lawyer, Jiving in New York. Jack's
mother, like himself was a very careless
woman and never cared whether her son
got the proper food or exercise.
Jack could have all the money he wanted
but he was always spending it for rich food
like candy, pies, cakes and ice cream. He
never went to bed before ten or twelve
o'clock and got up around noon. This was
very bad for him and he was getting stouter
every day. He hardly left the house any
more because the other fellows were always
teasing him about his stoutness. After
Jack went to bed one night he lay awake
a long time planning and thinking what he
could do to make the fellows stop teasing
him. He decided that night that he would
go to visit his aunt for awhile, who lived in
the West on a big truck farm. His parents
said that he could go and he left the next
week. Jack's Aunt Mary was a kind,
motherly woman and took a great interest
in Jack. He worked hard all that summer,
drank fresh milk daily, ate wholesome food
and followed the motto, "Early to bed and
early to rise." He found the man healthy,
wealthy and wise." He found the results
very good. Instead of fat he developed
strong muscles. Instead of a tired look he
had a healthy complexion and teeth that
shoncllke pearls because of the good scrub-bing
they got every day. When ho returned
to the city he was a changed tray. His
parents were now proud of him. He told
hia father that he wished he could do some-thing
{or the boys in the city who did not
have a chance like he did to try to improve
their health, His father bought a big
farm and sent boys from the city to this
farm to work in the good fresh air, eat the
vegetables and things they raised on the
farm, dr(nk the good fresh milk , keep their
bodies clean, brush their teeth, and in this
way get health and strength,

See "The Ghost
Breaker " Saturda y
On Saturday evening, January 27th,
Wallace Reid and Lila Lee will be shown
in "The Ghost Breaker", at the Hershey
Central Theatre.
"The Ghost Breaker" is a big production'
of the tremendously successful play of-the
samename.
The story deals with a young American
who falls in love with a Spanish princess,
and goes to her haunted castle to drive the
ghosts away. He finds the ghosts are
crooks,- but not until after many hair-raising
adventures.
Wallace Reid has a part full of action
and comedy and Lila Lee, as the princess,
has an opportunity to wear some marvel-ous
gowns. *
It is superbly staged and packed full of
excitement. The director is Alfred Green,
who made Mary Pickford's "Little Lord
Fauntlerby." The scenario is by Jack
Cunningham. The original play was
written by Paul Dickey and Charles God-dard.
The above picture will be presented at
the Central Theatre on Saturday, Jan.27th
instead of "The Greatest Love," originally
booked for this date.
See "Calvert 's
Valley" Tuesday
Mystery, Jove and adventure are blended
in the latest William Fox production,
"Calvert's Valley," starring John Gilbert,
which will be shown at the Hershey Cen-tral
Theatre on Tuesday evening, Jan 30th,
at 7:30 o'clock.
Mr. Gilbert's magnetic personality has
won him a host of friends. His admirers
will be glad to hear that his latest picture
offers exceptional opportunities for his
ability.
Mr. Fox has surrounded the star with a
notable supporting cast, including such
favorites as Sylvia Breamer, Philo Mc-
Cullough, Herschel Mayall and Lulu Warr-enton.
'
Mr. Gilbert plays the role of a young
lawyer, who is both brilliant and popular.
The solution of the mystery is exceed-ingly
ingenious and will undoubtedly come
as a surprise to even the most blase movie
fan.
"Calvert's Valley" is said to be dis-tinguished
by an exceptionally beautiful
love story.
Hershe y Firemen
Do Good Work
The Hershey Volunteer Fire Company
did commendable work at the Palmyra
fire on Tuesday afternoon, when farming
implements and real estate valued at $25,-
000 were destroyed.
The Packard and the Ford were at the
scene but a few moments after word was
received, Hal Boyer drove the Packard
to Palmyra at a speed of 50 miles an hour,
nnd it took him a little less than three
minutes to get to the fire.
Prior to the arrival of the firemen a two-story
frame factory and two adjoining
buildings were ablaze. After the Packard
got into action, in conjunction with the
Palmyra fire engine, the fire was soon under
control. The crowd commended the
Hershey firemen upon the excellence of
their work, and spoke highly of the power-ful
engine wo have; The engine was
placed almost two blocks away from £he
(Ire, but nevertheless the amount of water
that It played on the flames was enormous
nnd at a terrific velocity.
Fire companies from Annyille nnd Leb-anon
were also present,
The Hershey firemen were: John Conrad,
John Snavely, Joe Martin, Hernrtan Severs,
Parke Cassady, Wm, Hyland , Tom Black,
Hal Boyer, Geo, Lnfforty and Dave Dltz-ler.

Hershey Studio
Is Up-to-Date
The Hershey Photographic Studjo is
being equipped with two new lights, which
are of such enormous power that a special
line had to be brought in to carry the cur-rent
to supply them. William Hoy, the
electrician, who is in charge of the work,
states that the globes, which are of the
daylight-blue nitrogen type, are among the:
largest in Hershey, the only other place
where lights of equal power are used, is the
Hershey Central TheaUe. 7 ;-•>

—everything necessary for the making'of;
artistic portraits. When the installation1
of the large nitrogen globes is completed,
the Studio will be enabled to make por-1
traits at night as well as during the day. '

snap-shot speed.
During the .past few weeks Mr. Spotz,;
the photographer, has taken a large num-:
ber of most excellent portraits. The
Studio is open every day except on Sunday,;
and is open evenings by appointment.
Are You Getti ng
Full Weight
A reader of our columns has given us a
method to determine whether one has
received a ton of coal or whether one has
been "stung."
The method is as follows: '
"Anthracite coal varies somewhat in
weight per cubic foot, depending on the
size and slightly on quality. However 32
cu. ft. to 34 cu. ft. to the ton is about the
average in ordinary sizes of coal. For all
practical purposes 3 per cent, of the numi
ber of cubic feet in a bin gives the number
of tons of Anthracite coal which a bin will
hold; one-half of this is approximately
the number of tons of coke; 2 1-2 per cent,
of the number of cubic feet gives the num-ber
of tons of bituminous coal, which runs
about 40 cubic feet to the ton."
If someone will send us a method to de-termine
slate and dirt that the ton of coal
contains, we will be happy
But what's worrying us the most, Is how
are we going to get the ton in order to try
out the method? Won't it be a good old
world when we can take up the phone and
say, "Mr. Conrad, deliver us I ton pf
Lykcna Nut", and have him say, "TJianks
for theorder,wewilldellverlt Immediately."
