Leaving Hershey in the quiet of a very early morning hour on last Saturday a detachment of local big game nimrods set forth to engage in a most interesting game of chance in which the stake was turkey of the wild variety. ' Our party consisted of T. L. McHeffey, George -Bench, Harry Feeser, Warren Darcas, John Rhodes, Ed. Lingle, Harrison Shiffer and Ed. Shiffer, all tried and true veterans and experts in the fascinating recreation of"stalking big game. Perry County, long heralded as a mecca for hunters, where game is more plentiful than adherents to the G. O. P. or than supporters of the_ Volstead Amendment,'was the direct objective, and therein Blain, a peaceful little hamlet, was to be their headquarters. Upon arrival at aforesaid seat of operations a council of war was held and strategic plans for a gloriously successful days hunt were laid. However, before taking our readers any further it is appropriate that we tell a bit about the extensive preparations which had been made. Now there was "Mac," leader of this depredatory band. He'carried a new gun, list value $75.00; ammunition of high power, $5.75; gas, oil and auto expense, $11.32; cigars, $1.50; inc., $55.00; etc., etc., totaling in the approximate $150.00. Other members of the party though they did not expend this amount, still had made extensive almost elaborate preparations and the total in aggregate would represent a rather fancy figure. Diligently, untireingly and calling upon every atom of their cunning did they proceed along the. lines of action prepared. Carefully did they follow compass, map and command over field and woods, through the fast fleeting hours of the morning, under the midday sun, and on through the waning moments of the day until the sun had stealthily slid beyond the horizon and dusk was fast drawing the shroud of night upon a weary world. The day's hunt had been completed. Weary and worn our noble nimrods, had re-turned to headquarters bringing with them the fruit of the day's conquests. One rabbit, one grey squirrel, two turkeys—the last in all of Perry—had fallen victims to their prowess with the gun. The turkeys weighed respectfully eight and ten pounds, the larger of which was bagged by "Chief High Depre-dationist 'Mac,' who thereby established what certainly must be a record price for Perry county turkeys and probably a record price for turkey no matter where raised. Fifteen dollars per pound 'Undressed is some fancy figure for foul of this species. It is greatly doubted if in the most famine stricken areas of Armenia today turkey would bring such an exhorbitant price. Howbeit, "Mac' is of the type that is termed a "good sport" or a "regular fellow" and he paid the price nor did he rue the bargain. Our party returned home the same day feeling in splendid spirits and despite the small bag were neither discouraged nor dis-mayed. They hope to return some day to old Perry and feel confident that better success will be their portion then. Local Hunter Pays Fancy Price for Perry Co. Turkey Y. W. C. A. NEWS Witches, ghosts and goblins, after giving us a wonderful time of joy and laughter, have left us now and we will be able to settle down to our business. Miss Elva Gruber, the Girls' Work Secre-tary is going to start her different Gymnasium classes next week in the dance hall of the Hershey Inn, which Mr. Heilman has been kind enough to open for this work. Miss Gruber will organize classes for grade and High School girls and also afternoon and evening classes for older girls and married women. We hope that a great number of girls and women will take advantage of this excellent opportunity the Y. W. C. A. is glad to offer them. Wo consider ourselves fortunate indeed, that the Devotional Committee was able to secure Miss Pratt , General Secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association in Lancaster, for a Vesper service on Sunday, November 13, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Special music will help to make this service a fully delightful one. Program for the Vesper Service:—-Hymn; Prayer; Hymn; Violin Solo; Miss Pratt will speak on "The Sweetness of Life;" Quartette; Hymn* Wednesday, November 10, at 8:30 a social to which all members are invited , will bo held. Migs Dietrich , of Philadelphia, will be present to>delivcr an appropriate talk. FOOTBALL SEASON TICKETS The response to the Football season tickets was very gratif ying.

Leaving Hershey in the quiet of a very early morning hour on last Saturday a detachment of local big game nimrods set forth to engage in a most interesting game of chance in which the stake was turkey of the wild variety. ' Our party consisted of T. L. McHeffey, George -Bench, Harry Feeser, Warren Darcas, John Rhodes, Ed. Lingle, Harrison Shiffer and Ed. Shiffer, all tried and true veterans and experts in the fascinating recreation of"stalking big game. Perry County, long heralded as a mecca for hunters, where game is more plentiful than adherents to the G. O. P. or than supporters of the_ Volstead Amendment,'was the direct objective, and therein Blain, a peaceful little hamlet, was to be their headquarters. Upon arrival at aforesaid seat of operations a council of war was held and strategic plans for a gloriously successful days hunt were laid. However, before taking our readers any further it is appropriate that we tell a bit about the extensive preparations which had been made. Now there was "Mac," leader of this depredatory band. He'carried a new gun, list value $75.00; ammunition of high power, $5.75; gas, oil and auto expense, $11.32; cigars, $1.50; inc., $55.00; etc., etc., totaling in the approximate $150.00. Other members of the party though they did not expend this amount, still had made extensive almost elaborate preparations and the total in aggregate would represent a rather fancy figure. Diligently, untireingly and calling upon every atom of their cunning did they proceed along the. lines of action prepared. Carefully did they follow compass, map and command over field and woods, through the fast fleeting hours of the morning, under the midday sun, and on through the waning moments of the day until the sun had stealthily slid beyond the horizon and dusk was fast drawing the shroud of night upon a weary world. The day's hunt had been completed. Weary and worn our noble nimrods, had re-turned to headquarters bringing with them the fruit of the day's conquests. One rabbit, one grey squirrel, two turkeys—the last in all of Perry—had fallen victims to their prowess with the gun. The turkeys weighed respectfully eight and ten pounds, the larger of which was bagged by "Chief High Depre-dationist 'Mac,' who thereby established what certainly must be a record price for Perry county turkeys and probably a record price for turkey no matter where raised. Fifteen dollars per pound 'Undressed is some fancy figure for foul of this species. It is greatly doubted if in the most famine stricken areas of Armenia today turkey would bring such an exhorbitant price. Howbeit, "Mac' is of the type that is termed a "good sport" or a "regular fellow" and he paid the price nor did he rue the bargain. Our party returned home the same day feeling in splendid spirits and despite the small bag were neither discouraged nor dis-mayed. They hope to return some day to old Perry and feel confident that better success will be their portion then. Local Hunter Pays Fancy Price for Perry Co. Turkey Y. W. C. A. NEWS Witches, ghosts and goblins, after giving us a wonderful time of joy and laughter, have left us now and we will be able to settle down to our business. Miss Elva Gruber, the Girls' Work Secre-tary is going to start her different Gymnasium classes next week in the dance hall of the Hershey Inn, which Mr. Heilman has been kind enough to open for this work.

We hope that a great number of girls and women will take advantage of this excellent opportunity the Y. W. C. A. is glad to offer them. Wo consider ourselves fortunate indeed, that the Devotional Committee was able to secure Miss Pratt , General Secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association in Lancaster, for a Vesper service on Sunday, November 13, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
