It seems but a little while ago we mingled with the merry throng on the occasion of the annual May-Hop, that inspiring prelude to the summer season here. How we greeted with rejoicing that event for it marked the end of a long, quiet winter season and denoted the be-ginning of a long period ol out-door life, filled with warm sunshine, blue skies, the song of many birds and the mingled fragrance of growing things. We have now come to the postlude , so to speak , for with Labor Day, the third holiday of the summer season, at hand , our thoughts begin to turn to Autumn. We see the green of nature turning to brown; the merry song and happy chirp of the birds is blending into a melanchol y chant; the song of the harvester echoes across the hills. We begin to think of chilly nights, long and dark ; we hear north winds laden with a message of winter, whistling through naked trees; we see Jack Frost engraving upon Mother Earth , in characters of purest white, beautiful designs and etch-ings. Labor Day here will fully measure up to the record established by preceding holi-days. The Park management has en-deavored to build a program which will prove a fitting climax to the busiest season in its history. They have listed additional features for the day which will surely bring thousands of people here. The Iroquois band , of Palmyra , one of the very best organizations of its kind in Centra l Pennsylvania , has been secured for the day. They will render concerts afternoon and evening which will un-questionably prove a source of delight to many. All , through this immediate sec-tion , know of the excellent reputation the Iroquois band enjoys. They have played numerous engagements throughout the state and were accorded everywhere such praise and acclaim as might be coveted by the very best musical organizations. Those who come to hear the Iroquois band may feel assured they will listen to two most excellent programs. As a special afternoon attraction , the Middlctown and Highspire baseball teams have been secured. These- teams are very evenly matched and a first class ball game is assured. This game will prove the deciding one in a series of seven. Each game, thus far was won by only a small margin and each team has three victories to its credit. The rivalry between them is intense and a game replete with thrills and excitement may be anticipated. Dancing, in the mammoth park pavilion , is scheduled for afternoon as well as even-ing. The Banjo-Saxo orchestra will fur-nish the music for each occasion. A record-breaking crowd will surely be in attendance. This floor , in finer condition than ever, and this orchestra , than which there is none belter , will prove a combina-tion hard to beat and one which will please Ihe most fastidious dance patron. Other park amusements will be in full play throughout the day. The Man-hattan Players al the theatre , the swim-ming pool -Central Pennsylvania 's most popular spot —, canoeing, boating, zoo, carrousel , shooting gallery, bowling, skec-ball , et c., will help you spend a day of genuine deli ght. On the famous park restaura nt veranda an excellent chicken and waflle dinner will be served from 11:00 a. m. till 8:30 p. m. On the warmest day, this spot is surely one of the coolest and most deli ghtful of any in the park. You 'll enjoy eatin g an excellent dinner on the restaurant veranda . Come th en lo l lershey Park where no stone is left unturn ed to provid e every convenience and comfort essential to a successfully operated outing grounds. Ample fa ilities may here be found to accommodate the largest crowd. Here the welfar e and satisfaction of patr ons is given every possible considera tion. There will he enough wholesome fun and recrea-tion for all who may come here. Labor Day, 1920, will be a big day at llershey Park -come along with the crowd and be happy with them. GAME ASSOCIATION MEETING On Thursday evening, September 2, the Lebanon Vall ey Fish and (lame Pro-tective Association will hold a regular monthl y business meeting In tln i Cunt nil Theatre , llershey. Reports from the various committees which should prove of interest , will be mid. Much splendid work has been accomplished by these committees during Hie past mouths. Membership curds will also be ready for distribution at tills tlnu1. All members are earnestly urged to attend this meet-ing. Hers hey Par k Labor Day Progra m Will Attract Thousands J. B. Leithiser Victim When Trolley Car Hit Aut omobile J. B. Leithiser sustained a broken collar bone in the right shoulder , and other lacerations of the face and body when the automobile in which he was traveling was hit by the Palmyra trolley car leaving Hershey Square at 12:00 noon , Wednes-day. Mr. Leithiser was accompanying Mr. A. T. Heilman , who was driving the machine. They were on their way to lunch , driving down Chocolate Ave., and upon turning into the driveway leading to Mr. Leithiser 's home, were hit by the trolley car. The machine was dragged a distance of about fifty feet before the car was brought to a stop. Many persons, on their way to lunch , were attracted by the sound of the crash and hastened to th e scene. Mr. Leithiser was carried into his home and a doctor immediately summoned. Mr. Heilman escaped with only a few slight bruises and cuts. The car was bad ly damaucd. The Manhattan Players will continue at the theatre until Saturday, September 11, at which time they will close their summer season here.

He entered white Wyandottes , two pullets and two cockerels and each bird one a ribbon. The pullets won a first and a third ribbon , while the cockerels won a second and a third ribbon. They won in a field of thirty-six entries which is ample evidence of the excellent birds Cassel entered. Cassel's record seems the more remark-able when it is considered that he pretends not to be an expert poultry fancier and th at , furthermore , this was the first ex-hibit in which he had ever entered any birds of his own. There is sufficient reason herein for him to feel highly elated and to assume an air of just pride. As a poultry grower he has proven his capa-bilities and deserves honest praise and commendation for his accomplishments in this respect.
