              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.

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

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 .

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.

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.

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,

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:

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. We pre-dict
great tilings for Stover. He handles
himself well, has a goodjdehveryjsjspeedy
nd can locate ,the plate.

Baseball Notes
Manager Traynor wishes to thank all
those who by their assistance helped take
care of the crowd on Decoration Day,
which was done moat expeditiously and
efficiently. 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. "
Bill has all of the qualifications of a first
bagger , and if ho continues to land on the
ball as ho did Saturday, 'oh boy, won't we
love hlml
That catch made by Gingrich on Deco-ration
Day was a beaut y. The crowd
made him doff his lint for It, which ho did
In a regular Douglas Fairbanks manner.
