              The Ministers ^ Wife
Pleased Lar ge Audience
On Thursday evening "The Minister's
Wife Returns" was presented by the H. O.
A. Bible Class of the Holy Trinity Luth-eran
Church at the Hershey Central
Theatre, which was taxed to its utmost
capacity.
.Robert Aumen as "Rev. Grundy ";
Kathryn Leithiser as "Kate Butcher; and
Almas Drescher as "Cayenne Pepper" were
the outstanding characters in the play,
showing considerable talent, and were
exceptionally praiseworthy.
Paul Seitzinger as "Billy Butcher" was
breezy and helped considerably with the
excellence c ? his work.
Iva Drescher as "Agatha Saualls":
Margaret Bomgardner as "Dephe Harda-hear";
Minnie Whittle - as "Samantha
Slick"; Elizabeth Copenhavcr as "No-danna
Simpkins"; and Mrs. Grover
Sheckart as "Penelope Perkins", were
praiseworthy and made the most of their
parts.
Grover Scheckart as "Always Knoxit"
and John Bomgardner as "Hugh Howler",
had the comedy parts, and proved the
source of much laughter.
Goldie Habaker as "Vivian Walker"
made a very charming Vivian, as did Mrs.
A. K. Snyder as "Mrs. Grundy", the
minister's wife. These young ladies had
minor parts but with considerable grace
and good looks made them effective.
Mrs. Daniel Graeff was the pianist, and
the success of the musical numbers, which
were rather difficult ones, was due to a
great extent to her skill as an accompanist.
There were several musical numbers of
outstanding excellence, among which was
the specialty number by Mrs. John Shay
and Louise-Shay; tee character song by
Kathryn Leithiser and the bass solo by
Grover Sheckart.
To Mrs. John F. Snavely deserves
considerable of the credit for the excellence
and success of the play. There were no
embarrassing moments, and everything
went along smoothly, wliich is all the more
credit to Mrs. Snavely, as well as to all of
the members participating in the play, y .
Former Ind. School
Mana ger Let Go
George C. Signer, superintendent of the
Soldiers' Orphans' School at Scotland,
Franklin County, was succeeded by Col.
C. Blaine Smathers, of Grove City, former-ly
associated with the State Department of
Public Instruction.
Mr. Signer was appointed head of the
Franklin County school on April 1, 1920,
and he will go on the State retirement list
on April 1. The Soldiers' Orphans'
School commission has communicated
with Governor Pinchot at Southern Pines
about the matter.
The commission at its February meeting
considered the application of the retire-ment
of Mr. Signor and this action ended
an investigation made by the commission
as a committee relative to the management
of the school. The report of the committee
has been filed, but Dr. J. George Becht,
Superintendent of Public Instruction, said
that the retirement of the school's head
ends the matter.
The present superintendent was superin-tendent
of the Institution for Feeble
Minded at Spring City and head of the
Hershey Industrial School, Hershey, prior
to going to Franklin County.
The office of the commission will be
removed from the Capitol to the Scotland
School.

The Hershey High School students are
proclaiming the deeds of their basketball
teams far. and wide. The boys varsity
and the girls varsity teams are the best in
the history of the school.
The boys basketball team won from the
alumni this year for the first time this feat
has ever been accomplished in the history
of the school. " The boys cage team has
played eleven games to date and of this
number have won nine and lost but two.
The two defeats'were both received away
from home at the hands of the quintets of
Gettysburg and Annville. The victories
of this team have been over Camp Hill
twice both at home and away; Palmyra at
home; Annville at home; Myerstown away;
Hummelstown twice both at home and

Brilliant Prospects for Next Year
Next year the Hershey High School
plans to enter the new league that is to be

Hershey, Carlisle, Chambersburg, Colum-bia,
Middletown and Hanover.
The members of the boys varsity are
Tinney and Magrini forwards, Aungst
center, Purcell and Belser guards, with W.
Gerlach and C. Gerlach as substitutes.
The prospects fot<next year are very bright
with the possibility of an even better team
than that,ot this year. Only two of this
year's q'uiptet will graduate in June,
Magrini and Belser. Judging from the
playing/Of the two Gerlach boys this year
they vrill be capable of filling the shoes of
Belter and Magrini left vacant next year
bytheir graduation in June
^^ ^jGrrt 's Have Good Team
--"Tne Hershey High Schoolgirls varsity
have played half their schedule to date,
having played in six contests and won
three of them. This year's team is the
best girls sextet that has ever represented
the local school.
The members of the local girls basket-ball
team are Hess and Bohner forwards ;
Reese and Leithiser centers; Yerger and
Gelling guards, with Hummer, Frehn,
Gilman, Baker and Liller as substitutes.
The girls expect to keep their team
intact for next year and with an older and
more experienced aggregation for the next
season should make an even greater record
for their school than they have this year.
The local athletic directors expect to call
the baseball and track candidates out for
practice as soon as the basketball teams
have finished their seasons. The local
high school expects to be represented this
spring by a relay team at the Penn Relay
Carnival in April, by a boys and girls
track team, and by a baseball team.
Baseball Team After Another Title
The baseball team will be entered in the
Lower Dauphin High School Baseball
League which is composed of Hershey;
Middletown, Hummelstown, Susquehanna,
Oberlin, Penbrook, Highspire and Dauphin

championship of the Lower Dauphin
League, when they played them for the
county title. With the last years ball
team practically intact this year the
students are predicting a more successful
season for them in the coming season.
"Fruit Week" Will Be
March 3d to 8th
There are more than 100 fruit orchards
in Dauphin County that are capable of
increased production according to County
Agent R. R. Burtner, who is planning
means by which to bring these thousands
of trees to a point where they may supply
a greater percentage of fruit to the markets
in Harrisburg and nearby urban communi-ties.
One of the first activities to be conducted
this year under the auspices of the Dau-phin
County Agricultural Extension Asso-ciation
for increased fruit production in
Dauphin County will be ''Fruit Week"
from March 3 to 8.
Pruning demonstrations are being
Rlanncd during the week in Conewago,
liddletown , Lower Lykens Valley and
Middle Paxton communities. Paul Thay-er,
orchard management specialist of State
College, and his assistant, R. S. Snyder,
will attend the meetings,
Harrisburg offers a good local market for
Dauphin County fruit growers, the county
agent points out. but orchardists in this
vicinity have not been giving sufficient
attention to their trees to provide an ade-quate
supply of fruit. Many orchards
from five to twenty years old are being
neglected throughout Dauphin County,
a recent survey showed, but are capable o(
producing some of the best fruit in the
state. Because of the proximity of Harris-burg
to virtually all points In Dauphin
County, local orcliardlata have an unusual
opportunity to market their fruit crop itt a
lower cost than competing fruit growers hi
adjoining counties, County Agent Burtner
declares.
Proper cultivation and pruning, together
with spraying and fertilization , will bring
orchards In the county, up to a proper
point of productivity, according to the
county agent, and every means will bo
employed during the year to have Dauphin
County assume Its proper place among the
counties of the State in fruit growing. A
number of communities are planning pro-jects
in a co-operative way to Increase the
fruit production by utilizing the thousnncln
of fully developed trees that have been
neglected,

Hershe y Dept. Store
Read y for "Chop-Down"
The Hershey Department Store, "the
big live shopping centre of Lebanon
Valley", will celebrate George Washing-ton's
Birthday on Friday, February 22d,
by holding a "Chop-Down Sale", which
will be one of the greatest one-day sales
ever held in Central Pennsylvania. Prices
are not merely reduced, but are chopped to
the verv limit.
At this "Chop-Down Sale" the attrac-tions
are manifold—the collection of
merchandise is the largest ever offered in
any previous sale. Every department has
its quota of bargains.
Throughout the entire day patrons
coming into the Store will be given a
unique souvenir, emblematic of the day,
presented by an impersonation of George
and Martha Washington.
During the afternoon music will be
furnished by C. Lloyd Major and his
orchestra, of Harrisburg. These artists
are melodists of rare ability, and they will
charm you with their wonderful instru-mentation.
.
The Store has been decorated in a most
patriotic manner. American flags in
numbers sufficient to form a canopy are
unfurled from every pillar. A large
picture of George Washington has been
given a place of honor in the centre of the
Store. While around and about the
various departments are various touches of
the decorator's art, wrought by the skillful
hands of Decorator Fred Botts.
. The doors will be open promptly at 7.30
o'clock on Friday morning, and the "Chop-
Down Sale" will continue until 8 o'clock in
the evening.
In previous "Chop-Down Sales" the
Store was thronged with shoppers who
reaped the many bargains that abounded
in ever)' one of the many departments, and
inasmuch as the bargains will be even more
numerous than at the other "Chop-Down
Sale", and basing this as a criterion, the
Store on Friday should, and no doubt will,
be crowded from door to door. Extra
clerks have been added so as to facilitate
the shopping.
Don't fail to read the advertisements as
well as the insert, in this issue of the
"Press". There were never such bargains
offered at any other previous sales.
During the day there will be special
demonstrations and sampling of food
products by several of the larger concerns.
Supervisors Propose
State Take Over Roads
The third annual convention of the
Township Supervisors' Association of
Pennsylvania held at Harrisburg last week
adopted several significant resolutions
recommending State construction and
maintenance of township roads, and elect-ing
officers for the year.
One of the resolutions adopted recom-mended
placing the 80,000 miles of town-ship
road under the care of the State
Highway Department. This resolution
was adopted following a speech by Walter
Linn, in which he recommended abolition
of the office of supervisor, because the
supervisors "pass the buck" to other
members of the board, and because ot lack
of technical training, commit too many
errors.
Another resolution urged the State to
speed completion of the secondary high-way
system, by using cheaper construction
types on roads where deemed advisable.
Other resolutions urged legislation com-pelling
cutting of brush by the roadside,
Govenor Pinchot having vetoed such a bill
last session; and recommended a definite
wage for supervisors.
Secretary of Highways Paul D. Wright ,
addressing the convention, said the prob-lems
of the department and of the supervis-ors
are mutual, and suggested the super-visors
follow the example of the depart-ment
in laying out a definite program of
work and following that program regard-less
of, other considerations. Failure to do
so, he said, will result in "spotty improve-ment,
which is little better than none at
all."

We Wonder Why
Friday is Washington 's Birthday and
Old Glory will be unfurled from the staffs
on the buildings of the Chocolate factory,
the Store, the Hershey Trust Company,
and others, excepting that of the railroad
station. A railroad station is a public
building, and we wonder why the exception
is made. We believe the American Legion,
the P. O, S. of A., and the Klu Klux could
do good work by making the railroads
unfurl Old Glory on all holidays.

Glorious West Pictured
In Chas. Jones Film
Friendship, in its most beautiful form, is
brought to the screen with telling effect in
the William Fox picture from the story by
Ben Ames Williams, called "Not A Drum
Was Heard," which comes to the Hershey
Central Theatre on Thursday (tonight),
Feb. 21. Charles Jones has the leading
role and Betty Bouton plays the pan of
western girl he loves.
Perhaps the best description of the
theme lies in the episode which occurs
when two cowpunchers find themselves in
love with the same girl. The mien are
"pardners," not partners. She tells the
loser first, explaining that the other man is
dependable—steady.
'Is there any other little thing about
it?" he asks.
"I love him," replies the girl.
"Keno," says the rider, rolling a ciga-rette.
And gi' es her up.
Aside from this kind of sentiment, the
picture is a roaring tale of the glorious
west, with gunplay and farno aplenty.
Jones is at his best and has the support of a
capable cast.
Thomas Meigban In
"Woman-Proof
When Thomas Meighan's latest George
Ade Paramount picture story, "Woman-
Proof," flashed on the screen of the Her-shey
Central Theatre on Saturday evening.
Feb. 23rd, the spectators will see a genuine
explosion of nearly seven thousand cases
of dynamite which was used in the blasting
of a thirteen-mile tunnel at Huntington
Lake, Cal., where work on the biggest
hydro-electric project in the world, involv-ing
the expenditure of $27,000,000, was in
progress at the time the picture was filmed.
This tunnel passes through a mountain,
making the waters of Hungtinton I.ake
available for electric power. It is said to
be the longest tunnel of its kind in the
world. The project was undertaken by
the Edison company to develop electric
power for Los Angeles. This location is
340 miles northeast of Hollywood, in the
Sierra Mountains, and was chosen after a
prolonged search for a spot where the most
spectacular scenes of this kind could be
filmed.
Mr. Meighan plays the role of a civil
engineer who is supervising this huge
industrial scheme. In the picture, the
tunnel is supposed to cave in, entombing
scores of workmen. The rescue of these
men forms some of the most thrilling
scenes in the picture. The picture was
directed by Alfred E. Green. The follow-ing
are the supporting players: Liia Lee,
leading woman; Robert Agnew, Charles A.
Sellon, Vera Reynolds, Bill Gonder and
Mike Donlin.
"Duslin Farnun , In
"Kentuck y Days"
In 'Kentucky Days", which opens at
the Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday,
Feb. 26th. William Fox presents Dustin
Farnum in a photoplay that deals with the
most romantic and interesting period of
American history and, incidentally, gives
Mr. Farnum one of the big dramatic op-portunities
of his long cinematic career.
Mr. Farnum, as John Buckner, plays one
of those sturdy pioneers upon whose broad
shoulders the republic was built. He is
one of the "49ers to whom fear was some-thing
vague and incomprehensible and
whose loves and hates consumed his being,
John Lunch has written a compelling,
picturesque story around this character
that has all the strength of the man him-self.
Buckner, a bride-groom, finds it neces-sary
to j oin the California gold rush. He
leaves his bride at his Kentucky home with
his mother. A renegade cousin, who if
infatuated with Buckner's wife, seizes the
opportunity of his absence affords and
secretly presses his attentions upon the
wife, Buckner's mother, perceiving this,
is without power to prevent it. She dies of
grief. Buckner returns and finds his bride,
who has been led to believe that he is dead ,
in the arms of his cousin. The course he
pursues Is typical of the man. To reveal
it would be unfair.
Margaret Fielding, o( "If Winter
Comes fame, plays the girl. Others in
the cast are Bruce Gordon and William
P. DeVaull.

Legion, will be held on next Thursday
evening, Feb. 28th, at 8 o'clock, in the Red
Cross Rooms, of the Central Theatre. The
committee in charge of these parties had
decided not to have a party this month,
feeling that it was sort of an imposition on
fheir part to ask the public for their sup-port,
after they had responded so nobly to
make the production of "Powder River"
and the Washington's Birthday Dance a
success. However, inquiries are being
received on all sides as to when the next
card party is to be held and in its effort to
give the people of Hershey what they want,
the committee agreed to hold the event on
the date above stated. In addition to the
regular prizes there will be several hand-some
prizes which are being donated by
local people, who are taking a keen interest
in this work. "500" and Pinochle will be
played and refreshments will be served.
