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. Hershey Columbia Legion Auchenbasher..... L. E Brown Wiley L.T Schwartz Brewer L.

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.

SLANDEROUS RUMOR A few Kentuckians are being arrested under the new state law against slander and malicious gossip.

Of the many forms of cowardice, the foremost is saying behind a person's back what one wmrirnA dure tmy to Mr face. Be n decent fellow, is n good slogan. Spike slanderous rumor. If It reaches you, let it go no farther, 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.

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." HALLOWE'EN PARTY A Hallowe'en party was held at the home of Willie Ruof on Saturday evening, Oct, 25. The house was very beautiful decorated, and the evening was sjient in playing many various games.

The crop is unusually late this year, The crop in Pennsylvania is estimated at 19,724 tons this year. 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? The election of President Coolidge by popular vote is indicated by the analysis of the nation-wide pool begun by the Hearst (Democratic) newspapers on August 24. The poll gives Coolidge 287 electoral votes; Davis, 147, and La Follette, 47 votes, with 50 votes distributed in doubtful States. These are the figures revealed in . the Hearst poll: COOLIDGE Electoral Vote Connecticut 7 Colorado 6 Delaware 3 Illinois 29 Indiana 15 Idaho 4 Iowa 13 Kansas! 10 Maine 6 Massachusetts 18 Michigan 15 Missouri ? 18 New Hampshire 4 New Jersey 14 New York 45 Ohio 24 Oregon 5 Pennsylvania 38 Rhode Island 5 Utah ". 4 Vermont 4 Total 287 Necessayr to elect 266 DAVIS Electoral Vote Alabama 12 Arkansas 9 Florida 6 Georgia 14 r Kentucky 13 ?• Louisiana 10 Mississippi 10 North Carolina..... 12 SouthCarolina 9 Tennessee 12 Texas 20 Virginia 12 West Virginia 8 Total 147 LA FOLLETTE Minnesota 12 Montana 4 Nebraska - 8 North Dakota 5 SouthDakota 5 Wisconsin 13 Total. , 47 DOUBTFUL Electoral Vote Between Coolidge and La Follette.

S. Franklin, of the Boston Institute of Technology, will deliver a lecture at the Hershey Central Theatre on Friday evening, Nov. 7th , at 7.30 o'clock. Dr. Franklin 's subject will be "Bill's School and Mine," with special reference to playgrounds and recreation grounds for young and old , which he has made an intensive study and a special hobby. The lecture will be held under the aus-pices of the Hershey Men's Club, and it will be free—there being no charges what-soever, not even a silver collection. Do not fail to hear Dr. Franklin 's mes-sage. Free Lecture At Central Theatre Frida y RuhkII Gordon , the nine-yea r son of Mr. and Mrs. David Gordon, of Arebti Avenue, sustained a fracture of the right leg on Tuesday evening while playing near the new High School build ing. The lad had been watching Uiu ..\uuiul evening practice of the higli school football team and later begun playing around n number of radia-tors that were stored on the field prior to installation in the new building, when one .of the radiators toppled over on the boy, fracturing his leg. He was taken to the Hershey Hospital where he mm given medical atten tion and from the latest reports is resting wittily, RUSSELL GORDON FRACTURES LEG The regular monthly meeting of Hershey Post, No. 386, American Legion, was held on Tuesday evening at Post 1 leadquarters. The usual business was transacted and iplans were discussed for Legion activities .during the winter Reason. The annual inomination of officers resulted in the fol-lowing members being nominated for the ¦various offices: Post Commander, Paul G. Shultz, Robert Sattazahn and Edwin W. Schwenk; 1st vice commander, Robert Aumen, Robert Whittle and Ira Shenk; 2d vice commander , Arthur G. Whetzel , Paul Zentmeyer and Paul R. Gingrich; post finance officer , Grover C, Slieckart , Jerome II . Krall and Elmer Swart/.; i*)st historian , Ivan L. Mease, Edward H. Lewis and Norman Smith ; ixist chaplain , George Lafferty, Clarence Ulrich and I Inward Homgardner. Refreshments con-sisting of cider , doughnuts and apples was served by the social committee. 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.

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."
