              Colombia Defeats
Hershey By Close Score
The Columbia American Legion eleven,
defeated Hershey on Saturday afternoon,
at Columbia, by a score of 6 to 0.
Things looked gloomy for Columbia
when, on the kickoff , Shea received the
ball on the ten yard line and returned it to
the fifty yard mark, before Columbia's last
man, the dependable Danny Groff , brought
him down. For the remainder of the
quarter the home team was entirely on the
defensive, striving, desperately to check
Schlepher, Yeagley, Shea and Smith as
they consistently hit the line for con-siderable
gains, registering no less than for
first downs, while Columbia collected only
one.
The short rest between quarters seemed
to do the soldiers lots of good for from
that time on, it was Hershey who had their
backs against their own goal posts. Twice
Columbia smashed inside the ten yard line,
once when left end Brown carried the ball
23 yards around right end on a beautiful
criss-cross and again when Groff received
a short forward from Spiese and advanced
22 yards before he was forced out of bounds
on the eight yard line. In this goose-fleshy
position, Hershey was saved when
the whistle ended the half.
The third quarter proved Hershey's
Waterloo when the Columbia back line
ripped the Hershey forwards to shreds for
four successivef irst downs culminating in a
touchdown by Harold Kauff man. Brown
was mainly responsible for the touchdown
when he crossed up the visiting eleven for
the third time and sped around right end
for a 25 yard gain to the five yard line.
Spiese missed the dropkick trying for
extra point. From this point until the end
of the game the ball seesawed back and
forth, with neither side capable of starting
a decided offensive. The final whistle
found the ball on Columbia's 32 yard line
in Hershey's possession. Summary.

Tom Mix In Zane Grey s
"Last Of The Doanes"
Those who saw Tom Mix in "The Lone
Star Ranger," the last Zane Grey novel
that William Fox put on the screen with
the hard riding Thomas in the title role,
will welcome the news that Mix is to be
seen in "The Last of the Duanes," at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday
evening, Nov. 4th, at 7.30 o'clock.
The film was made from a scenario by
Edward J. Montagne. Marian Nixon,
who has been seen opposite Charles Jones
in several of his recent William Fox starring
vehicles, makes her first appearance as
leading lady for Tom Mix in this produc-tion.
Others in the cast are Brindsley
Shaw, Frank Nelson, Lucy Beaumont and
Harry Lonsdale.
Those who have not had the pleasure of
reading the book should take the op|x>r-tunity
the film offers to get a true glimpse
of Texas in the old days. "The Last of
the Duanes," showing the passing of the
last frontier , fits Mix like a glove, for Tom
is the typical frontier type.
A series of thrilling incidents including a
desperate battle by Tom against bandits, a
kidnapping, the escape and pursuit, partic-ularly
the activities of the star, crowd one
another with almost bewildering rapidity.
Tom's horsemanship on the speedy, sure-footed
Tony will awaken a fine enthusiasm.
Playing opposite Tom Mix is the de-lightfu
l Marian Nixon . Her fresh , piquant
beauty adds greatly to the romantic ele-ment
of the picture. Bewitching smiles
and dimpled, flashing eyes in a mobile,
expressive face, a simplicity of manner, all
of them are Marian 's. Hut she is generous
with her charms and those who see her in
this Fox production will be doubly grati-fied—
by Tom's breezy performance and by
Marian 's airy vision.

Sportsmen To Hold
Shooting Match
A large number of sportsmen attended
the Lebanon Valley Fish & Game Pro-tective
Association smoker and booster
meeting that was held on Tuesday evening
in their rooms on the first floor of the Her-shey
Inn building. John B. Truman, chief
of Bureau of Protection of the State Game
Commission and J. B. Lightner, District
Game Protector, were present and gave
interesting talks. George Kilgore pre-sided.
Mr. Truman discussed the acute situa-tion
of the deer problem, emphasizing that
something had to be done to solve it satis-factorily.
He told of the damage that is
being done to the farmers by deer, particu-larly
the does, who have become so numer-ous
and so tame, I that they are a pest,
destroying buckwheat fields, potato fields
and trampling down fields, particularly in
the South mountains. The question had
been gone into by the Game Commission
from all angles, but no solution of the
problem had as yet been arrived at.
In discussing the matter it was the
unanimous opinion among the members of
the Lebanon Valley Fish and Game Pro-tective
Association that the does only be
shot duringoneseason, which would tend to
equalize the discrepancy that now exists
between the does and bucks. This,
furthermore, would allow the bucks to
mature, and consequently a sturdier and
more vigorous stock of deer would ensue.
This plan, of course, to be in effect in the
sections where the does outnumbered the
bucks.
Mr. Lightner told of his efforts to pro-vide
fish, rabbits and pheasants in Dauphin
County, and was pleased to know that his
work was beginning to bring results and
likewise, to be appreciated. He told of the
large number of pheasants that had been
liberated, also rabbits and of their success-ful
propagation. He laid considerable
stress of the great care that must be exer-cised
by the hunters this year, owing to the
dead leaves and trees that are reported to
be in a dangerously dry condition, owing to
the fact that practically no rain has fallen
in any State forests for the past month.
He cautioned all sportsmen to be most
careful, to see that they throw no lighted
cigarettes on the ground, unless trampled
upon, and that they extinguished all fires
before breaking camp.
A. B. Shenk told about the splendid
results that had been brought about from
the liberation of the rabbits in his section,
and that there were plenty of rabbits.
Harry O'Neal reported the same conditions
in the Hockersville district, as did J. Eby
and Honus Moyer.
John K. Zoll told of about the "No Tres-passing"
notices that had been posted on
the Hershey Farms. He stated that only
those farms having cows and the sheep
farm would be posted, as in previous years.
That all of the outlying farms were open
for hunting.
Secretary Wm. McKinne stated that
every sportsman in Hershey and vicinity
should feel duty-bound to join the organi-zation.
That the fee was but $1.00 a year,
and by increasing the treasury more rab-bits,
fish and pheasants could be purchased.
He emphatically stated that it was foolish
to expect the State, just because the sports-man
had bought his license, to provide all
the game. The State was doing all in its
power to further this great work, but the
sportsmen need to co-operate in the matter
with their money and efforts.
Ge". Kilgore reported that he had killed a
number of dogs, also a score of cats. He
stated that he had received shells
from the State and sportsmen who want
to assist him in killing off the feline pests,
he would be glad to furnish them with the
wherewithal to do the trick.
As a means of replenishing the treasury,
in order to buy more game, it was decided
to hold a shooting match on Saturday
afternoon , Nov. 22a, at 2 o'clock, to be held
at the Haefner House at Derry Church.
The committee of arrangements to be
Harry O'Neal, Ed. Lingle, Jr., C. A. Burk-holder
and Roy Sternberger.
The Most Spectacular
Battle Ever Waged
A whole town destroyed in a spectacular
battle which brought lasting peace to the
great plains—the strife of primitive men
for a great patriotic cause—an epic in
national progress.
This is the spectacle of "The Heritage of
the Desert," an ad tation of Zane Grey's
famous story which iias been produced as a
Paramount picture, which will be shown
at the Hershey Central Theatre on Satur-day,
Nov. 1, at 7.45 o'clock. The battle
is for water rights—the thing which turns
the blistering heat of the desert into an
earthly paradise of fertility. This fight ,
started 45 years ago, is still being carried on
today. Seven states are waging a legal
conflict at Washington for possession of
water rights to the Upper Colorado River
in Southern Utah.
Hundreds of players, including a tribe of
Navajo Indians, lend picturesqueness to
this picture. A cavalcade of 300 persons
traveled on horseback from Flagstaff into
these beautiful locations 150 miles to
record this great phase in American history
upon the screen. They suffered the same
hardships as the people they imitated,
braving desert heat and passing along
roads built along the sheer face of canyons.
Featured in this epic picture are: Bebe
Daniels, as Mescal, child of the desert;
Ernest Torrence, of "The Covered Wagon "
and "Huggles of Red Gap" fame, as Au-gust
Naab: Noah Beery as Holdcrness,
leader of the desert gunman, and Lloyd
Hughes as Jack Hare, the tenderfoot .
The spirit of the original tale was main-tained
through the co-operation of Zane
Grey with Director Irvin Willat during the
filming of the picture. The famous author
visited location and put at the disposal of
the director and cast his infinite knowledge
of pioneer and Indian life. It has been
said that no man in the United Suites has a
wider understanding of the west and its
Iieople tlian Zane Grey,
This is the third Zane Grey story to be
produced by Paramount. It is claimed
that it will far surpass in beautiful scenery,
convincing plot and gigantic spectacles of
life either of its predecessors "To the Last
Man," or "The Call of the Canyon."

Blue And Gold Defeats
Hershey High
On Saturday afternoon the Harrisburg
Academy completely outclassed the Her-shey
High School gridders on the Uptown
gridiron, 26 to 6.
Captain Rodgers won the toss and chose
to receive. For Hershey, Aucker kicked
off , Rodgers running it back twenty-five
yards. Irwin then reeled off twenty-five
yards around left end but the Academy
was off side, and on the next play, he again
hit the left flank for a touchdown, Rodgers
kicking the goal. Rodgers then kicked off
to Hershey but they were unsuccessful on a
line buck and forward pass which was
broken up by Smith, and they punted to
Rodgers who made twenty-f ive yards.
Smith skirted left end for thirty yards, and
Irwin made seven on the other side, Rod-gers
then going through for the second
score and also kicking the goal. Davies
was sent in for Captain Rodgers.
Hershey -was unable to make any pro-gress
and kicked to Davies who made ten
yards, but after Smith had made ten yards
he fumbled. The Academy was penalized
for illegal tackling. The ball was on the
2-yard line and after two tries it was put
across by S. Curry, while Long failed to
make the point. The period ended with
the ball in midfield.
In the second quarter neither team was
able to score and the game seesawed back
and forth for the entire period.
To start the second half Rodgers kicked
off. Hershey was held and had to punt
but recovered after the punt had been
blocked. Hershey again had to kick, and
Bogar was dropped in his tracks. Irwin
made thirty yards on his left side, but the
Academy was penalized half the distance
to the goal, and Rodgers kicked. Hershey
was penalized for five yards for being off
side. Smith intercepted a forward pass
and on the next play ran twenty-five yards
for a touchdown, Rodgers failing to kick
the goal.
In the last quarter the Uptown eleven
crossed the white line again, Smith making
the score on a lateral pass from Rodgers,
running thirty yards for the fourth and last
tally as the whistle soon ended the fray.

What Attracts Crowds
ToSceneOfAnAccident?
An accident or tragedy—and hundreds
of pairs of feet hurry to the scene. Every
day in every dty the scene is enacted. Does
only morbid curiosity compel people to
rush to the place where others are in
trouble?
Jacqueline Logan, featured in the George
Melford production, "The Dawn of a
Tomorrow," for Paramount at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 30th
(tonight), ascribes a more elemental reason
for the tendency of the world to want to
hasten to a tragedy.
"Sympathy drives most people to want
to see accidents," says the star. "Before
civilization took place, human beings were
pitted a'gainst the elements and wild oeasts.
All men and women were of a common
family. When any human was inj ured it
was a matter of concern to all as it came
from their common enemy. And today,
although centuries have come and gone,
that spirit still exists."
In "The Dawn of a Tomorrow" there is
a sequence in which Bet, a drunken woman
of the London slums, is run down by a
motor vehicle. Jacqueline Logan, David
Torrence and Raymond Griffith , featured
players, hear her screams and run from
their tenement into the street.
"Our impulse," continued Miss Logan,
"was to help. Some one was in trouble
and needed ua. That is why we ran to the
scene and it is true of most persons, I hope,
whether it is a conscious movement or
not."

What Do Yon
Propose To Do?
The twentieth amendment to the con-stitution,
if ratified, will give congress the
right to regulate the labor oi children under
18 years of age, which means that congress
will prohibit children under 18 years of age
from working, says George W. Hensel, Jr.,
in "Down Lancaster Way." Meanwhile
we rave about the Ku Klux, declare La
Follette to be an anarchist, Coolidge . a
weakling, Davis the representative of an
inefficient party, and no one is giving any
concern to the twentieth amendment, to
make loafers and weaklings of the rising
generation. The fact is not one-half of
one per cent of the voters of this country
know of such an issue, and that they are
now to pass upon it. The idea of a boy
not working before the age of 18 years!
Look around and about you at the men
who have achieved success in large or
circumscribed fields of activity and note
the proportion who were laborers before
they were even 14 years of age. Read the
fives of the greatest men of history, to find
they were active at an early age. Lincoln
was splitting rails, and extracting splinters
from his fingers before he was 16. Garfield
was driving mules on the towpath at 13.
Had Edison, Whitney Burbank, Ford,
Schwab, Morse and Carnegie awaited the
attainment of their eighteenth birthday to
begin laboring, the history of mankind
might have to be rewritten. Booth was
an actor before he was 16, and to think if
we were to try to live without Jackie
Coogan. To think of the mothers depend-ent
upon the support of boys under 18, and
farmers dependent upon boys to keep the
old place cropping. With intimate knowl-edge
of a boy, who walked in his bare feet
from Darlington to Lewis Haines' store at
Quarryville with all his worldly possessions
in an old handkerchief, he was hired and
shod, to clerk in a country store, received
the fabulous salary of $50, $60 and $75 lor
the first three years of his apprenticeship,
and by the time he was 17 had paid off the
mortgage of $125 on his parents' home in
Maryland. Down Lancaster Way shud-ders
at the thought of such a law as we are
about to pass on, having been on the
statute books in 1837, to have perchance
made a loafer in Maryland of a man who
by reason of his early start became a
prominent and useful man in Pennsylvania.
It's high time that our vbters, men and
women, awaken to their duty and vote
this iniquitous measure down beneath an
avalanche of ballots. God knows we have
enough of natural loafers without culti-vating
a new crop. There_ are boys and
girls whose parents would save them from
labor and graciously subject them to
petting thru hfe, but the product is only fit
for society, to dance and for beauty con-tests.
They are of no practical use in the
world save for ballast. Monday morning
papers record three terrible murders, all
committed by boys under the age of 17, and
all loafers, not one of them legitimately
employed. Increase the crowd of loafers,
and, as Acre Brown observes, "Tit, tat,
toe, and what have you got?" Irrespec-tive
of party ties, race, creed or previous
condition of political servitude, the people
of this country should vote on election day
to kill the twentieth amendment deader
than that old woman frequently referred to
as the devil's grandmother.
A distinguished member of the United
States senate sojourning in Russia dis-covered
while in Moscow, after a conver-sation
with one of the leading Bolsheviks
of that grief-stricken and terrorized coun-try,
that back of the proposed twentieth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States were the Russian Commun-ists,
reds, Bolsheviks and radicals of every
stripe, and they assured the senator the
proposition had the support of their friends
in America and that they proposed to see
that it was adopted . All this was news to
the sojourner and it was enlightening, too,
since which time he left no grass grow
under his feet in getting back home to
arouse his fellow-countrymen to the mena-cing
influences of such doctrine. The
deluded women of this country, many of
whom as members of organizations are
supporting the twentieth amendment,
should know that the person who drew it
is none other than Mrs. Florence Kelley
(formerly Wischnewetzky), and that's no
Irish name; a professional Socialist, trans-lator
of Marx and, in the land of German
marks, is the editor of Archiv for Soziale-getzebung.
She is likewise president of
the Intercollegiate Socialist League of the
United States. Heaven forgive them, for
know not what they do.
This information may be found in the
congressional record of May 31, 1924. The
proposition, too, is one of the pet measures
of La Follette. Things have indeed come
to a pretty pass in this country with Mrs.
Whats-her-name moulding sentiment and
hurling poison intellectual gas, which is
having the effect of putting our thinking
people to sleep while Russian reds promote
amendments to our constitution, and this
revolutionary proposition we are asked to
vote on within three weeks to the surprise
of the average American citizen.
To test our [jeople's knowledge of the
issue, Down Lancaster Way a day or two
ago set out to interview fellow citizens on
the subject, accosting twenty-seven in-dividuals,
ranging from toilers to lawyers,
including teachers, merchants, physicians,
bankers, professors, farmers and a couple
of boneheads of the type who don't-give-a-daivm
what happens on election day. The
return showed of the twenty-seven inter-viewed,
exactly twenty-seven had never
heard of the twentieth amendment, had no
knowledge of its being submitted to pop-ular
vote, but every one of the twenty-seven
declared they would vote "No" in
capital letters. On this subject of tre-mendous
imjiortance the people agitating
it are prepared to vote ' Yes", and it is
possible and indeed probable that it will be
put across, in the event of which another
law for which the people will show their
supreme contempt at all times.
P. S. The Republicans and Democrats
of New Jersey on the same day, in their
respective slate conventions, passed upon
the question of approving this child labor
act. The Republicans voted in thunderous
tones "No"; the Democrats in subdued
tones voted "Yes," and thu s It was that
the Republicans were wise, the Democrats
otherwise. It is up to you, and you and
you to accept or disapprove of Russia'a
dictating the future of American children
and the limitations of parental control of
families in this land of the free. What do
you propose to do about it?

LEGION NOMINATE OFFICERS FOR
1925
Congress' Procedure If
Election Is Drawn
The possibility that Congress will be
called upon to elect a President and Vice-
President this year, which will be the case
if success crowns the efforts of the Demo-crats
and La Follette crowd to prevent the
people choosing their own President, makes
the procedure to be followed in that con-tingency
a matter of keen interest.
The Constitution provides that if no
candidate for President receives a majority
of electoral votes, 266 as it happens to be,
the House of Representatives shall im-mediately
choose a President from among
the three who receive the biggest votes.
The vote in the House shall be taken by
States, each State having one vote, and
each State vote to be cast by the party
which has a majority in the House from
the State. A majority of the States shall
be necessary to a choice.
If no Vice-President is chosen in the
Electoral College the Seriate shall vote for
one of the two who polled the largest vote.
A majority here ^lso is necessary for a
choice, but Senators vote as individuals
and not as State units. In other words,
States which are evenly divided in the
House are stale-mated and have no voice
in the election of a President, but a State
may have one Republican and one Demo-cratic
Senator, such as Delaware has, and
both Senators would have a vote.
In case of a drawn election it is easily
conceivable that the House will be unable
to elect a President. The Senate -would
have to choose between Dawes and Bryan
for Vice-President. The one chosen would
become acting President after next March
4, and would remain so until the election
of a President has been accomplished.
In the event that neither the House nor
the Senate can agree on a President or a
Vice-President before next March 4 there
would be a situation unprecedented , and
one for which the Constitution provides no
remedy.
After next March Mr. Coolidge auto-matically
is retired as President unless he
is re-elected and re-inaugurated. With
him goes his Cabinet.
In that event it is probable that Presi-dent
Coolidge would resign before his term
expires. Secretary of State Hughes then
would succeed him, and would retain office
until a President could be elected, under
the terms of the Presidential Succession
bill.
