Rev. M Leroy Wuchter Makes Splendid Record On Sunday morning, June 8th , at 10.30 o'clock, the celebration of the third anni-versary of the present pastorate of the Holy Trinity Luth eran Church .will be Held, the longest in the history of the congregation with a single exception. . Three years ago the things , which have since been accomplished, seemed mere imagination. Today,'the pastor , Rev. Mr. LeRoy Wuchter and his congregation , are happy in this attainment , and rightly so. It is human nature to take pride in any Worth-while accomplishment , and it is especiallyc ommended in this case. In these three years which have passed the congregation has given the splendid sum of $10,467.26 for the various benevo-lent objects of the church at large. They have met their apportionment in full every year in spite of lafge increases over previous years and this year the pastor goes to Synod with the knowledge that every cent of this year 's apportionment has been paid. Nor is it alone to benevolent objects that the members have contributed. The con-gregation has performed in regal style in meetin g current obligations as they were presented. The interior of the church has been renovated , the parsonage improved in many ways, an organ has been installed in the church , the local debt on the church building cancelled and $1500.000 paid on the mortgage still resting on the parsonage. These objects alone represent gifts of more than $10,000.00 from the members in these three yean. While -the regular current expenses for these three years amounted to $7,860.00. This brin gs the total amount of money contributed by the members of the congregation to all causes these three years to $28,327.26. During these three years there have been 1489 communicants. At the beginning of this period there were 125 active members on the roll, today there are 230. This average of communicants in proportion to the membership stands among the leaders within the ministerium. One hundred and two new members have been added to the church 's roll. There were 10 adult baptisms; 28 confir-mations; 47 infant baptisms ; 21 weddings; 11 funerals of which but three were mem-bers of the congregation and the attend-ance at the services of the church over this period to date was 53,875. The 53375 who attended the services over this three year period listened to 352 sermons and addresses by the pastor. He made every effort to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His message of Salvation lor souls. Many appeals came to him to discard the Gospel of Christ for secular subjects , to preach on current events, popular themes and in behalf of other causes and movements outside the church which he declined to do because he believed himself called to preach the Gospel and the Word of God. If Flies Around, Look In Yard, Says Health Dept. Whether or not the family of Madame House Fly" who is about to make her seasonal bow to Fennsylvanians , will be great or small is "dependent entirely upon the degree of hospitalit y by which she is received," Dr. William C. Miller, director of the Bureau of Pub lic Health Education , State Department of Health, declared in an article on the fly, prepared for distribution by the department , and re-affirmed by H. N. Herr , chairman of the Hershey Fly committee. House flies, he pointed out, usuall y appear in May and their popula-tion usually reaches its peak in August after which they begin to disappear. After declarin g that infant mortality increases and decreases proportionately with the fly population. Doctor Miller asserted that while all cases of intestinal disorder in infants durin g the summer months are not due to flies, it has been demonstrated that such disorders may be borne by flies. "Flies are no longer regar ded as useful scavengers," he said. "They are known as unnecessar y and dangerous pests. The pro per way to get rid of flies is to destroy .their breeding places. They breed in 41th. according, no filth—no flies. Flies as a rule, do not travel very far. Therefore , if some mornin g you notice a group of expectant flies, gazing eagerly through vour kitchen screen , you may assume they have not traveled from afar off. They are prob ably from your neighbor 's premises, but , before startin g a family feud , look carefully around your own back yard. " On Sunda y evening the members of Hershe y Post, No. 386, American Legion attended Memorial services at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church . Rev. M. Le- Roy Wuchter , pastor , gave the Legion iboys a helpful and instructive ta lk. The colors which were presented by Mr. Wm. F. R. Murrie were displayed lor the first .time in the church. It is to be regretted that a grea ter number of Legionnaires were j iot In attendance. An Oklahoma editor, just about ready to go to press, "pied" a couple of articles, one concernin g a public sale and the other a write-up of a weddin g. He asked the ofnoeaevfl to get the two together—and he did. Here is how he put the two together , and th e mixture was not known to the editor until an angry preacher and the mother of the bride appeared on the scene: "William Smith and Miss Lucy Ander-son were disposed of at public auction at my bam one mile east of a beautiful cluster of roses on her breast and two white calves before a background of farm Implements too numerous to mention in the presence of about seventy guests including two milch cows, six mulca and bob sled, Rev. Jack-ton tied the municipal knot with 200 feet of hay rope; the bridal couple left on one J ohn Deere gang plow for an extended trip with terms to suit the purchaser. They will be at home to their friends with one good wheelbarrow and a few kitchen utensils, after ten months from date of sale, to responsible part ies and some fifty chick-ens,"— Exchan ge.

The trees are furnished free of charge oy the State Department of Forestry and Waters. ' Mor e than 20,000, trees have been ordered for next Spring, and orders should be placed now through County Agent R. R. Burtner at tills place. URGE FARMERS TO PLANT TREES TWELVE BOYS TO REPRESENT DAUPHIN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS LEAVE FOR WASHINGTON Church Of Brethren Ses sion Open In Hershey The 126th General Conference of the Church of the Brethren , commonly known as Bunkers , will convene here this week for ten days of strenuous work. This is the fourth time the Conference has met at Hershey Park and each returning Con-ference brings larger attendance. On Tuesday the first Conferences began which are somewhat preliminary to the larger gatherings which began on Wednes-day evening with a sermon on "Steward-ship" by Bishop W. B. Stover, of India , but home on furlou gh. Bishop and Mrs. Stover were the first missionaries sent out to a heathen field by the Brethren. The Conferences on Tuesday and Wednesda y were for those interested in various home mission projects and included members of the various district mission boards and their representatives. Vacation Bible School workers also convened during this time for conference and consultation as to means and methods of work. Law Enforcement Pro gram Thursday will be devoted to Temperance and Law Enforcement programs with able speakers on the programs. Thursday evening the sermon will be by the Rev. H. Garst , of Term. Friday morning the student volunteers will be in char ge while Friday afternoon will be given over to the laymen of the church to discuss problems which the laity of the church has to meet Sectional conferences will also be held representin g the Young People, Ministerial and Women's Work of the church. The address on Frida y evening will be by Dr. Albert. Wieand, of Chicago. His subject is "The Work of the Ministry. " . Saturday will be a full day with many sectional and grou p meetings. It will be largely devoted to the educational interests of the church in all its different phases. The Ladies' Aid Societies will also have their sessions in the afternoon. On Satur-day evenihg the Rev. J. W. Lear, General Director of the Council of Promotion will give an address on "The Hindrances and Helps of Organization. " He comes from Chica go and is an able speaker. Anti-War Campaign But the "big day" will be on Sunday. If past experience are to be repeated the people will be counted by the tens of thousands. Automobiles will be there by the acre. This day's program will be given over to antiwar crusade. The Brethren , like the Friends , have always been opposed to war and it is fitting that at this time that there should be a deter-mined effort on the part of all peace loving people to outlaw war by moulding public sentiment against it. - , In the morning the speakers will be Prof. Daniel West, Cornell Universit y, Ithaca , N. Y.; Dr. J. Allen Miller, dean of the Seminary, Ashland College, Ashland , Ohio, and Dr. Frederick J. Libbey, Wash-ington , D. C.

In the afternoon the various colleges will be represented on the program , empha-sizing peace from the school standpoint. Sunday evening Dr. Edward Frantz , editor of the Gospel Messenger , Elgin , 111., will bring the closing message from the subject , "What World Peace is Waitin g On. " Missionary Day Monday Monday, June 9, will be Missionary Day. Home and foreign fields will be discussed from both the practical and historical standpoint. Dr. M. G. Brum-baugh , former governor of Pennsylvania , will be the main speaker in the forenoon with the subject, "The Church of the Brethren 200 years ago." In the after-noon at the great missionary convocation . Dr. C. Ellis, of Juniata College, Hunting-don, will give the main address , 'The Heart Cry of a World. " New missionaries will be set apart at this time and the mis-sionar y offering taken and service flags placed on the Mission service flag. Business Session Tuesda y On Tuesday the business session will open with a rather full program of business for attention. Not much of more than genera l interest will come up for action so tar as may be seen just now. It is ex-pected that the sessions will close some time on Wednesday, June 11. The organization will take place on Thursday, June 5 upon the convening of the Standing Committee , the main assem-bly body of the church. This body will choose a Moderator , Writing Clerk and Reading Clerk together with other minor officers and committees , subject to ratifica tion by the open Conference on Tuesday. Dr. Othe Winger , North Manchester , Ind., is the retiring Moderator. Elder I. W. Taylor , Ephrata , is a member of the Stand-ing Committee from Eastern Pennsylvania and he has been chosen Moderator a num-ber of times. a. The Old Homestead' at Hershey Park The Ella Kramer Stock Co has been extremel y fortunate in being able to secure permi ssion for the production at the Park Theatre of the greatest play that the American stage has ever known , Denman Thompson 's endurin g success, "The Old Homestead ", when they will re-open the Park Theatre season Monday, June 16th. "The Old Homestead ", a comedy$drama which has to do with Josh Whitcomb and the folks down Swansey way, is a classic which is bound to live and to hold first place upon the affections of the great American public as long as there are thea-tres to play it in. It stands at the head of its class as one of the grea test , if not indeed the ver y greatest , native American play of all time. Ori ginally produced in 1886, it has held the boards uninterruptedly since that time, never losing its grip upon the emotions of the millions of people who have seen it time and again, and making new millions of friends yearl y. It bears the enviable record of havin g played to more people than any other offering evei" written. It stands alone as a representative American stage classic, for while there have been many imitators since "The Old Home-stead" was first produced , none of them have survived while this play has continued on and on, ever since 1886, becoming more and more popular with every generation , and makin g more and more friends with every presentation. The Ella Krame r players will present this great feature exactly as It was pro-duced by the late Denman Thompson , with a number of choice added attractions. An "automobile pound ," where cars illegally parked will be stored by the police after seizure until the owners pay fines and costs, will be established in Reading. The parkin g privilege Is limited to two hours on downtown ' streets. The penalty, first offense, will be $1; second offense, £2, and the third and later offenses, $5 each. No car is released except on cash payment, no matter what the* owner 's or driver 's "alibi" may be, Comparative figures on exports by States , compiled for the first time by the Department of Commer ce, show Pennsyl-vania ranking thir d for the first three months of 1924 in the value of shipments overseas. Penns ylvania exports for the period were valued at $74,747,650 out of a total of $1,084,739,781. Of the exports from Penns ylvania coal shipments amountin g to $15,893,100 led, followed by refined mineral oil, $11,607,- 744; iron and steel plates, sheets, etc.. $10,352,576, and tubular products and fittings , $4,142,699. Upper leath er, corn grain and structural shapes, not fabricated , also were export ed in large quantities. New York , with exports valued at $183,- 846,364 topped the list , and Texas with a big cotton and grain crop and oil exports, was second with $147,255,543. Illinois was fourth with $57,655,071 and New Jers ey fift h with $57,277,768.

Cyrus Gingrich Writes From Arkansas Little Rock, Ark., May 19, 1926. Editor Hershey Press, • Hershey, Pa. Dear Sir: I received the copy of "The Hershey Press " you sent me and read my letter to you in it and wish to thank you for publish-ing same. It may be of interest to your readers to know that the crops down here are looking very good. The potatoes and corn are ready Tor plowing and the oats are getting heads. The cotton is about two inches above the ground. We are having very mild weather at present and it is also very dry. A few weeks ago it was my good fortune to visit Hot Springs National Park and it is wonderful to see the great bath houses where one can go and get a hot bath from hot water just as it comes out of the ground , which is well known for its medici-nal value. While there I visited the ostrich farm and saw the first ostrich that was ever, driven in harness and when I asked his age I was told he is 59 years old. Everybody down here knows about the town of Hershey and the Hershey choco-lates. The biggest indust ry right around Little Rock is truck gardening. Please print this letter in the Hers hey Press to let all my friends at home know that I am thinking of them and please send me a copy of "The Hershey Press" so that I may know how my friends in that com-munity are gettin g along. Thanking you for past favors , I remain, Yours respectfully, Cyrus R. Gingrich, (Incare ofH. H. Risser), R. D. 2, Little Rock, Ark. The smallest crop of wheat since 1917 is forecast by the department of agriculture. The production indicated , as calculated from May 1 conditions , is 553,013,000 bushels, or 15 bushels an acre. That is 19,327,000 bushels less than produced last year. The rye crop, forecast at 61,739,000 bushels , also is smaller tlian last year 's by 1,284,000 bushels. The winter was less severe on winter wheat , the abandonment of acreage having been 2,024,000 acres, or 6.6 per cent, of the area sown last autumn , which as revised and announced was 39,933,000 acres . The acrea ge remaining May 1st, to be harvested was placed at 36,898.000 acres. Abandonment of acreage was heaviest in the south and In California. California 's acrea ge is 54 per cent, less than sown last autumn. Mississippi's 50 per cent, less, Georgia 's 42 per cent, less, and Kentucky and Alabama more than 25 per cent. less. The condition of the crop on May 1, which was 84,8 per cent, of a normal , was better than a year ago, but below the ten-year avera ge. Kansas and Nebraska showed a markedly better condition than last year. The area this year is 938,000 acres less than harvested last year, Colo-rado has prospects of a crop more than twice as large as last year 's, EXPERTS PREDICT SMALL WHEAT CROP Dauphin Co. SS. Ass.

YOUNG MEN'S BIBLE CLASS TO MEET FRIDAY Taking advantage of the holiday , a number of local fishermen , including "Bill" Curtis , Paul Shultz , Grover Sheckart , Paul Gingrich and Edwin Schwenk journeyed to Round Top Dam where they spent a most enjoyable time fishing. These experts didn t give the fish a chance and returned with a string of fifteen catfish and nine sunfish. "Bill" carried off the honors In the number of fish caught while Shultz landed the largest , which measured eleven Inches. "BILL" CURTIS HERSHEY'S PREM IER FISHERMAN Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Pugh attended the Mercersburg Academy commence-ment festivities on Tuesday and Wednes-day, when their son Kenneth was gradu-ated. John, the elder son of President and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, was a member of the graduating class. Mrs. Coolidge was present at the exercises. MR. AND MRS. F. W. PUGH AT MERCERSBURG West Lebanon Defeats Hershey 12-1 The Hershey baseball season started on Decoration Day, at which time Old Boreas blew his icy blasts across the diamond in January fury, chilling player s and spec-tators to the bone. It was. the first time that the Hershey players had been together this season; it was the first time that some of them had swung a bat, caught a ball, or run a base. It was a stiff proposition that they had to go up against in the West Lebanon team , a team that had started the season with practically their old lineup, and had en-gaged in a number of games up to this time, and the majorit y of them were victories. Consequently, when Hershey came out with the short end of the stick, it was only what we had expected. The game, how-ever, was a trifle more lopsided than what we had figured that it would be—but then we hadn 't figured on a balloon ascension. But the balloon did go up, and before the parachute landed seven runs had resulted. Up to this inning it was a splendid game, and well worth seeing, if the day had been warmer. We consider that the Hershey team gave a creditable account of itself, taking all things into consideration , and that as the season grows longer we can expect to have a fast and snappy team. The score is as follows: Total 30 1 3 26 10 2 WEST LEBANON ABRH O A E Clemens, c 3 1 0 3 0 0 Smith, 3b 5 1 2 1 1 0 White, 2b 4 1 0 1 4 0 Fields, lf 4 1 0 2 0 0 Kirk , lb 5 3 113 1 0 Lilly.rf 5 1 3 2 0 0 Clemens, cf 3 1 0 0 3 0 Cooper , ss 3 1 0 0 3 0 Beachler.p 4 2 0 0 1 0 Bentz, p 0 0 0 0 1 0 Lyter. c 0 0 0 1 0 0 Total 36 12 6 23 12 0 Hershey. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1—1 West Lebanon.... 0 1 0 0 0 7 2 2 0—12 HERSHEY AB R H O A E Miller . cf 3 1 1 1 0 0 Bordner , ss 3 0 0 O 3 0 Alberts, 3b 2 0 1 1 3 0 Ream,p, 2b 4 0 1 1 0 0 Shaub , lb. 4 0 0 9 0 1 Basehore, If 4 0 0 2 0 0 Zimmerman , 2b 3 0 0 0 1 1 Gingrich , rf 3 0 0 2 0 0 Dick.c 3 0 0 9 2 0 Hanshu cp 1 0 0 1 1 0 Hershey Defeats Lebanon 12-5 The Hershey team realigned encountere d the Lebanon Orioles on Saturday after - noon, winning the game with ease by a score of 12 to 5. Leithiser held down the initial bag, and he played a star game, not only pulling them down with dexterity but was there with the willow lacing out three swats that meant hits. Shaub played his old position in the out-field.

Full Text | Rev. M Leroy Wuchter Makes Splendid Record On Sunday morning, June 8th , at 10.30 o'clock, the celebration of the third anni-versary of the present pastorate of the Holy Trinity Luth eran Church .will be Held, the longest in the history of the congregation with a single exception. . Three years ago the things , which have since been accomplished, seemed mere imagination. Today,'the pastor , Rev. Mr. LeRoy Wuchter and his congregation , are happy in this attainment , and rightly so. It is human nature to take pride in any Worth-while accomplishment , and it is especiallyc ommended in this case. In these three years which have passed the congregation has given the splendid sum of $10,467.26 for the various benevo-lent objects of the church at large. They have met their apportionment in full every year in spite of lafge increases over previous years and this year the pastor goes to Synod with the knowledge that every cent of this year 's apportionment has been paid. Nor is it alone to benevolent objects that the members have contributed. The con-gregation has performed in regal style in meetin g current obligations as they were presented. The interior of the church has been renovated , the parsonage improved in many ways, an organ has been installed in the church , the local debt on the church building cancelled and $1500.000 paid on the mortgage still resting on the parsonage. These objects alone represent gifts of more than $10,000.00 from the members in these three yean. While -the regular current expenses for these three years amounted to $7,860.00. This brin gs the total amount of money contributed by the members of the congregation to all causes these three years to $28,327.26. During these three years there have been 1489 communicants. At the beginning of this period there were 125 active members on the roll, today there are 230. This average of communicants in proportion to the membership stands among the leaders within the ministerium. One hundred and two new members have been added to the church 's roll. There were 10 adult baptisms; 28 confir-mations; 47 infant baptisms ; 21 weddings; 11 funerals of which but three were mem-bers of the congregation and the attend-ance at the services of the church over this period to date was 53,875. The 53375 who attended the services over this three year period listened to 352 sermons and addresses by the pastor. He made every effort to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His message of Salvation lor souls. Many appeals came to him to discard the Gospel of Christ for secular subjects , to preach on current events, popular themes and in behalf of other causes and movements outside the church which he declined to do because he believed himself called to preach the Gospel and the Word of God. If Flies Around, Look In Yard, Says Health Dept. Whether or not the family of Madame House Fly" who is about to make her seasonal bow to Fennsylvanians , will be great or small is "dependent entirely upon the degree of hospitalit y by which she is received," Dr. William C. Miller, director of the Bureau of Pub lic Health Education , State Department of Health, declared in an article on the fly, prepared for distribution by the department , and re-affirmed by H. N. Herr , chairman of the Hershey Fly committee. House flies, he pointed out, usuall y appear in May and their popula-tion usually reaches its peak in August after which they begin to disappear. After declarin g that infant mortality increases and decreases proportionately with the fly population. Doctor Miller asserted that while all cases of intestinal disorder in infants durin g the summer months are not due to flies, it has been demonstrated that such disorders may be borne by flies. "Flies are no longer regar ded as useful scavengers," he said. "They are known as unnecessar y and dangerous pests. The pro per way to get rid of flies is to destroy .their breeding places. They breed in 41th. according, no filth—no flies. Flies as a rule, do not travel very far. Therefore , if some mornin g you notice a group of expectant flies, gazing eagerly through vour kitchen screen , you may assume they have not traveled from afar off. They are prob ably from your neighbor 's premises, but , before startin g a family feud , look carefully around your own back yard. " On Sunda y evening the members of Hershe y Post, No. 386, American Legion attended Memorial services at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church . Rev. M. Le- Roy Wuchter , pastor , gave the Legion iboys a helpful and instructive ta lk. The colors which were presented by Mr. Wm. F. R. Murrie were displayed lor the first .time in the church. It is to be regretted that a grea ter number of Legionnaires were j iot In attendance. An Oklahoma editor, just about ready to go to press, "pied" a couple of articles, one concernin g a public sale and the other a write-up of a weddin g. He asked the ofnoeaevfl to get the two together—and he did. Here is how he put the two together , and th e mixture was not known to the editor until an angry preacher and the mother of the bride appeared on the scene: "William Smith and Miss Lucy Ander-son were disposed of at public auction at my bam one mile east of a beautiful cluster of roses on her breast and two white calves before a background of farm Implements too numerous to mention in the presence of about seventy guests including two milch cows, six mulca and bob sled, Rev. Jack-ton tied the municipal knot with 200 feet of hay rope; the bridal couple left on one J ohn Deere gang plow for an extended trip with terms to suit the purchaser. They will be at home to their friends with one good wheelbarrow and a few kitchen utensils, after ten months from date of sale, to responsible part ies and some fifty chick-ens,"— Exchan ge. EDITOR GETS IN BAD LEGION ATTENDS MEMORIAL AT TRINIT Y LUTHERAN Miss Esther Snavely Wins High Honors Miss Esther B.

URGE FARMERS TO PLANT TREES TWELVE BOYS TO REPRESENT DAUPHIN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS LEAVE FOR WASHINGTON Church Of Brethren Ses sion Open In Hershey The 126th General Conference of the Church of the Brethren , commonly known as Bunkers , will convene here this week for ten days of strenuous work. This is the fourth time the Conference has met at Hershey Park and each returning Con-ference brings larger attendance. On Tuesday the first Conferences began which are somewhat preliminary to the larger gatherings which began on Wednes-day evening with a sermon on "Steward-ship" by Bishop W. B. Stover, of India , but home on furlou gh. Bishop and Mrs. Stover were the first missionaries sent out to a heathen field by the Brethren. The Conferences on Tuesday and Wednesda y were for those interested in various home mission projects and included members of the various district mission boards and their representatives. Vacation Bible School workers also convened during this time for conference and consultation as to means and methods of work. Law Enforcement Pro gram Thursday will be devoted to Temperance and Law Enforcement programs with able speakers on the programs. Thursday evening the sermon will be by the Rev. H. Garst , of Term. Friday morning the student volunteers will be in char ge while Friday afternoon will be given over to the laymen of the church to discuss problems which the laity of the church has to meet Sectional conferences will also be held representin g the Young People, Ministerial and Women's Work of the church. The address on Frida y evening will be by Dr. Albert. Wieand, of Chicago. His subject is "The Work of the Ministry. " . Saturday will be a full day with many sectional and grou p meetings.

On Satur-day evenihg the Rev. J. W. Lear, General Director of the Council of Promotion will give an address on "The Hindrances and Helps of Organization. " He comes from Chica go and is an able speaker. Anti-War Campaign But the "big day" will be on Sunday. If past experience are to be repeated the people will be counted by the tens of thousands. Automobiles will be there by the acre. This day's program will be given over to antiwar crusade. The Brethren , like the Friends , have always been opposed to war and it is fitting that at this time that there should be a deter-mined effort on the part of all peace loving people to outlaw war by moulding public sentiment against it. - , In the morning the speakers will be Prof. Daniel West, Cornell Universit y, Ithaca , N. Y.; Dr. J. Allen Miller, dean of the Seminary, Ashland College, Ashland , Ohio, and Dr. Frederick J. Libbey, Wash-ington , D. C. Prof. West will represent the Church of the Brethren , Dr. Miller the Progressive Brethren and Dr. Libbey the Friends as well as the National Society Opposed to War. In the afternoon the various colleges will be represented on the program , empha-sizing peace from the school standpoint. Sunday evening Dr. Edward Frantz , editor of the Gospel Messenger , Elgin , 111., will bring the closing message from the subject , "What World Peace is Waitin g On. " Missionary Day Monday Monday, June 9, will be Missionary Day. Home and foreign fields will be discussed from both the practical and historical standpoint. Dr. M. G. Brum-baugh , former governor of Pennsylvania , will be the main speaker in the forenoon with the subject, "The Church of the Brethren 200 years ago." In the after-noon at the great missionary convocation . Dr. C. Ellis, of Juniata College, Hunting-don, will give the main address , 'The Heart Cry of a World. " New missionaries will be set apart at this time and the mis-sionar y offering taken and service flags placed on the Mission service flag. Business Session Tuesda y On Tuesday the business session will open with a rather full program of business for attention. Not much of more than genera l interest will come up for action so tar as may be seen just now. It is ex-pected that the sessions will close some time on Wednesday, June 11. The organization will take place on Thursday, June 5 upon the convening of the Standing Committee , the main assem-bly body of the church. This body will choose a Moderator , Writing Clerk and Reading Clerk together with other minor officers and committees , subject to ratifica tion by the open Conference on Tuesday. Dr. Othe Winger , North Manchester , Ind., is the retiring Moderator. Elder I. W. Taylor , Ephrata , is a member of the Stand-ing Committee from Eastern Pennsylvania and he has been chosen Moderator a num-ber of times. a. The Old Homestead' at Hershey Park The Ella Kramer Stock Co has been extremel y fortunate in being able to secure permi ssion for the production at the Park Theatre of the greatest play that the American stage has ever known , Denman Thompson 's endurin g success, "The Old Homestead ", when they will re-open the Park Theatre season Monday, June 16th. "The Old Homestead ", a comedy$drama which has to do with Josh Whitcomb and the folks down Swansey way, is a classic which is bound to live and to hold first place upon the affections of the great American public as long as there are thea-tres to play it in. It stands at the head of its class as one of the grea test , if not indeed the ver y greatest , native American play of all time. Ori ginally produced in 1886, it has held the boards uninterruptedly since that time, never losing its grip upon the emotions of the millions of people who have seen it time and again, and making new millions of friends yearl y. It bears the enviable record of havin g played to more people than any other offering evei" written. It stands alone as a representative American stage classic, for while there have been many imitators since "The Old Home-stead" was first produced , none of them have survived while this play has continued on and on, ever since 1886, becoming more and more popular with every generation , and makin g more and more friends with every presentation. The Ella Krame r players will present this great feature exactly as It was pro-duced by the late Denman Thompson , with a number of choice added attractions. An "automobile pound ," where cars illegally parked will be stored by the police after seizure until the owners pay fines and costs, will be established in Reading. The parkin g privilege Is limited to two hours on downtown ' streets. The penalty, first offense, will be $1; second offense, £2, and the third and later offenses, $5 each. No car is released except on cash payment, no matter what the* owner 's or driver 's "alibi" may be, Comparative figures on exports by States , compiled for the first time by the Department of Commer ce, show Pennsyl-vania ranking thir d for the first three months of 1924 in the value of shipments overseas. Penns ylvania exports for the period were valued at $74,747,650 out of a total of $1,084,739,781. Of the exports from Penns ylvania coal shipments amountin g to $15,893,100 led, followed by refined mineral oil, $11,607,- 744; iron and steel plates, sheets, etc.. $10,352,576, and tubular products and fittings , $4,142,699. Upper leath er, corn grain and structural shapes, not fabricated , also were export ed in large quantities. New York , with exports valued at $183,- 846,364 topped the list , and Texas with a big cotton and grain crop and oil exports, was second with $147,255,543. Illinois was fourth with $57,655,071 and New Jers ey fift h with $57,277,768.

Cyrus Gingrich Writes From Arkansas Little Rock, Ark., May 19, 1926. Editor Hershey Press, • Hershey, Pa. Dear Sir: I received the copy of "The Hershey Press " you sent me and read my letter to you in it and wish to thank you for publish-ing same. It may be of interest to your readers to know that the crops down here are looking very good. The potatoes and corn are ready Tor plowing and the oats are getting heads. The cotton is about two inches above the ground. We are having very mild weather at present and it is also very dry. A few weeks ago it was my good fortune to visit Hot Springs National Park and it is wonderful to see the great bath houses where one can go and get a hot bath from hot water just as it comes out of the ground , which is well known for its medici-nal value. While there I visited the ostrich farm and saw the first ostrich that was ever, driven in harness and when I asked his age I was told he is 59 years old. Everybody down here knows about the town of Hershey and the Hershey choco-lates. The biggest indust ry right around Little Rock is truck gardening. Please print this letter in the Hers hey Press to let all my friends at home know that I am thinking of them and please send me a copy of "The Hershey Press" so that I may know how my friends in that com-munity are gettin g along. Thanking you for past favors , I remain, Yours respectfully, Cyrus R. Gingrich, (Incare ofH. H. Risser), R. D. 2, Little Rock, Ark. The smallest crop of wheat since 1917 is forecast by the department of agriculture. The production indicated , as calculated from May 1 conditions , is 553,013,000 bushels, or 15 bushels an acre. That is 19,327,000 bushels less than produced last year. The rye crop, forecast at 61,739,000 bushels , also is smaller tlian last year 's by 1,284,000 bushels. The winter was less severe on winter wheat , the abandonment of acreage having been 2,024,000 acres, or 6.6 per cent, of the area sown last autumn , which as revised and announced was 39,933,000 acres . The acrea ge remaining May 1st, to be harvested was placed at 36,898.000 acres. Abandonment of acreage was heaviest in the south and In California. California 's acrea ge is 54 per cent, less than sown last autumn. Mississippi's 50 per cent, less, Georgia 's 42 per cent, less, and Kentucky and Alabama more than 25 per cent. less. The condition of the crop on May 1, which was 84,8 per cent, of a normal , was better than a year ago, but below the ten-year avera ge. Kansas and Nebraska showed a markedly better condition than last year. The area this year is 938,000 acres less than harvested last year, Colo-rado has prospects of a crop more than twice as large as last year 's, EXPERTS PREDICT SMALL WHEAT CROP Dauphin Co. SS. Ass.

YOUNG MEN'S BIBLE CLASS TO MEET FRIDAY Taking advantage of the holiday , a number of local fishermen , including "Bill" Curtis , Paul Shultz , Grover Sheckart , Paul Gingrich and Edwin Schwenk journeyed to Round Top Dam where they spent a most enjoyable time fishing. These experts didn t give the fish a chance and returned with a string of fifteen catfish and nine sunfish. "Bill" carried off the honors In the number of fish caught while Shultz landed the largest , which measured eleven Inches. "BILL" CURTIS HERSHEY'S PREM IER FISHERMAN Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Pugh attended the Mercersburg Academy commence-ment festivities on Tuesday and Wednes-day, when their son Kenneth was gradu-ated. John, the elder son of President and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, was a member of the graduating class. Mrs. Coolidge was present at the exercises. MR. AND MRS. F. W. PUGH AT MERCERSBURG West Lebanon Defeats Hershey 12-1 The Hershey baseball season started on Decoration Day, at which time Old Boreas blew his icy blasts across the diamond in January fury, chilling player s and spec-tators to the bone. It was. the first time that the Hershey players had been together this season; it was the first time that some of them had swung a bat, caught a ball, or run a base. It was a stiff proposition that they had to go up against in the West Lebanon team , a team that had started the season with practically their old lineup, and had en-gaged in a number of games up to this time, and the majorit y of them were victories. Consequently, when Hershey came out with the short end of the stick, it was only what we had expected. The game, how-ever, was a trifle more lopsided than what we had figured that it would be—but then we hadn 't figured on a balloon ascension. But the balloon did go up, and before the parachute landed seven runs had resulted. Up to this inning it was a splendid game, and well worth seeing, if the day had been warmer. We consider that the Hershey team gave a creditable account of itself, taking all things into consideration , and that as the season grows longer we can expect to have a fast and snappy team. The score is as follows: Total 30 1 3 26 10 2 WEST LEBANON ABRH O A E Clemens, c 3 1 0 3 0 0 Smith, 3b 5 1 2 1 1 0 White, 2b 4 1 0 1 4 0 Fields, lf 4 1 0 2 0 0 Kirk , lb 5 3 113 1 0 Lilly.rf 5 1 3 2 0 0 Clemens, cf 3 1 0 0 3 0 Cooper , ss 3 1 0 0 3 0 Beachler.p 4 2 0 0 1 0 Bentz, p 0 0 0 0 1 0 Lyter. c 0 0 0 1 0 0 Total 36 12 6 23 12 0 Hershey. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1—1 West Lebanon.... 0 1 0 0 0 7 2 2 0—12 HERSHEY AB R H O A E Miller . cf 3 1 1 1 0 0 Bordner , ss 3 0 0 O 3 0 Alberts, 3b 2 0 1 1 3 0 Ream,p, 2b 4 0 1 1 0 0 Shaub , lb. 4 0 0 9 0 1 Basehore, If 4 0 0 2 0 0 Zimmerman , 2b 3 0 0 0 1 1 Gingrich , rf 3 0 0 2 0 0 Dick.c 3 0 0 9 2 0 Hanshu cp 1 0 0 1 1 0 Hershey Defeats Lebanon 12-5 The Hershey team realigned encountere d the Lebanon Orioles on Saturday after - noon, winning the game with ease by a score of 12 to 5. Leithiser held down the initial bag, and he played a star game, not only pulling them down with dexterity but was there with the willow lacing out three swats that meant hits. Shaub played his old position in the out-field. He had little to do, but made up the difference by also wielding a wicked stick , also pounding out three hits. • Hand shue started the game for Hershey and Stover finished the game.

He, in particular wishes to thank the members of the State Police for their excellent service rendered, Secretary John F. Snavely was highly elated that the two State Police by their presence, and a few words "Back of the bushes, buddy, if you want to see the game, go in by the front gate ", had the effect desired. Heretofore , even with a dozen men, the bushes were crowded with pikers. "Marty " Alberts , at third , continues to J lay his game in honest to goodneHS fashion ust as soon as the weather warms up a bit, and the kinks worked out of his arm , "Marty " will bo there with bells on, Bill Leithiser nt first looks like a "find.
