•BIMBO" PLEASED TWO LARGE
AUDIENCES
In the presentation of "Bimbo ," by the
Herahey Schools on Thursday and Friday
evenings of hist week at the Hershey
Park Theatre, we but voice the opinion of
all those who witnessed the production
when we say it was moat noteworth y. The
work of t he principal s, as well as of all three
who took part m the lesser roles , was
splendid. It was a big undertaking to
present a production such as "Bimb o in

the more praiseworthy for having done no,
Outstandin g Fashions
At The Fashion Show
The Hershe y Department Store will
hold its Annual Fall Opening and Fashion
Review on Thursday, Frida y and Satur-day,
Oct. 9th , 10th and 11th, presenting
Fashion's newest modes in outer apparel
for men, women, and children for the
Autumn and Winter season, with living
models. There will be two showings daily:
afternoon at 2.30 o'clock; evening at 7.30
o'clock. The music will be furnished by
Phil Fisher 's Orchestra. The gorgeous
Fall setting and Fashion promenade will be
presented on the second floor.
Those who attend this Fashion Review
will And among the outstanding sugges-tions
, as decreed by fashion are: Short
skirts , in fact , very short. The difference
in length between the formal and informal
dress is not many inches.
Plaids , large plaids , small plaids , plaids
in all colors , but plaids in scarfs, dress and
coats are the vogue.
The popularity of the three-piece suit
has increased instead of waned. From the
more simple suit to the dressy fur trimmed
model the three-piece suit is here for
another season.
For frocks , the tunic holds a prominent
place , as long as it suggests the straight
line silhouette from shoulder to hem,
milady may safely wear a tunic. The
lengths vary and when of a contrasting
color holds a place all its own.
Purple and orchid shades are going to
appear a great deal after 6 o'clock. The
new shade of purple mentioned for evening
has a depth and richness to it thatare seen
in beautiful stained glass windows. It
may be a little difficult to wear but the
orchid and petunia shades are decidedly
flattering. Georgette and chiffon in one of
these delicate flowery tones is a safe bet for
a dance frock.
Black as usual has a prominent place,
perhaps first place, while rich , reddish
browns and coppery tones are next in
importance.
The colors most approved in satin
slippers for this fall are brown , dark bronze
and cocoa brown. Of course, these satin
suppers are mostly for evening wear. In
models, they have one strap, two straps or
are without any stra ps at all. Their dis-tinguishing
feature is a sort of rick-rack
stitching around the top of the vamp.
Otherwise , the slipper is perfectly plain.
Then there is a heavier slipper for sports
wear. It is a combination of alligator skin
and suede, or a combination of bronze
leather and satin. There is also an all-suede
sports shoe or oxford with a flat heel.
When it comes to stockings, the flesh
tint still remains the favorite. Black
stockings are seldom worn except when
they are made of the very finest chiffon
silk and have a perfect weave. For the
sports girl there are plain stockings and
those made of silk and wool.
Dress hats are large , many of them
black , designed in velvet and satin com-binations.
A World Toor In
"The Next Comer"
Touching four countries and dealing
with three continents , the story told by
Sam Wood's latest Param ount production ,
"The Next Corner ," which will be shown
at the Hershey Cent ral Theatre on Satur :
day evening, October 11th , is so closely
knit by dramatic action that the spectator
is scarcely conscious of traveling over
thousands of miles of sea and land .
The story opens in France. In turn it
deals with the Argentine , Spain and the
United States , returning once more to
France. In its picture form , "The Next
Corner " offers an elaboration of both book
and stage production by Kate Jordan.
Conwa y Tearle , Lon Chan ey, Dorothy
Mackaill , Richardo Cortez and Louise
Dresser are the featured players. The
story, adapted to the screen by Monte M.
Katterjohn from th e novel of the same
name by Kate Jorda n, is one with a moral
for every young married couple—the
lesson we deri ved was one of satisfaction
with our lot in life and—well—discretion .
Miss Mackaill is the wife, Conway
Tearle the man and Ricardo Cortez a sort
of wolf in sheep's clothin g who leaves not a
stone unturned to win Miss Mackaill as
Elsie Maury. I-on Cliancey is Don
Arturo 's (Ricardo Cortez ) foster brother
and major domo, who, when Arturo ia
killed by an enra ged Basque peasant ,
believes Elsie to be solely to blame and
does everything in his power to disgrace
her in Maury 's eyes - and we might add
here that he fails delightfully. Miss
Dresser is n pawn in Don Arturo 's hands in
shaping his ends—a sort of second-fiddle.
HERSHEY HIGH LOSES TO
LEBANON
The Hershey High School football team
is not coming up to expectations , altho the
material is much better than in previous
years. On Saturday Lebanon defeated
the locals by the score of 14-7.
McKinne and Aunioit made most of the
gains for I lershey, while Moyer starred for
I.ebanon. Warn er on- the line did hercu-lian
work for the locals, but he couldn 't
do it all by himself.
Hershey shows its weakness in its in-ability
to tackl e.
Stover , who has Ikhui out of the game
owing to a btulsed shoulder , is expected to
be in the lineup against Mcchanicsburg at
tha t place on Saturda y.
A large numl>cr of rwtcrs are expected to
accompany the team, hoping tha t the
team will Ims in the game wit h a punch,
gaining the victory.
The locals will not play at home for
several weeks.
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE FOR SEPT

1101 diff erent pupils with an aggregate
attendance of 2l ,fX)7 da ys.
The overflow is tak en care of In the
following manner : two first grades in the
Central Theatre with seventy-live pupils.
A second grad e of thirty-two pupils; a third
grade of thirty-one pupils and two seventh
grades of eighty-seven pupils in the I ler-shey

This Is Fire
Prevention Week
This is Fire Prevention Week , which has
been proclaimed by President Coolidge,
and which has become a movement of
Nation-wide scope.
The importance of the movement is such
that everyone should enter fully into the
spirit of occasion.
Indicative of the extent of the , waste
which seems to be a national peculiarity of
the United States are the following figures:
The annual fire loss is more than twice
the amount of the $200,000,000 loan to
Germany provided under the Dawes plan.
The annual per capita loss for 1923 in the
United States was approximately $4-50, as
compared to the $1.00 per capita for the
continent of Europe.
For the country as a whole progress is
being made in the stopping of this leak
through which hundreds of millions of
capital which might otherwise be devoted
to productive enterprises are lost. For
the first seven months of 1924 the fire loss
has been 18 per cent, less than for the same
period last year.
Reports from the National Board of
Fire Underwriters , the United States
Chamber of Commerce and other organiza-tions
working on a national scale indicate
that there is at least a slackening in the
rate of advance of our fire loss. In 1921,
this loss stood at $485,000,000; in 1922 at
$506,000,000, while last year it rose only to
$508,000,000.
To assist in preventing fires in homes
and places of business, we are asked to
observe the following list of warnings.
Watch disposal of matches and lighted
smoking materials ; they are responsible
for a heavier annual loss than any other
known cause. Always keep matches out
of the reach of small children.
Use proper fuses in electrical circuits;
the fuse is the safety valve of the system
and should not be tampered with.
Turn off electric flat-irons and other
heating devices while attending to some-thing
else.
Gasoline and other volatile liquids make
dangerous cleaning fluids ; many safe
compounds are on the market, including
carbon tetrachloride , which , is obtainable
at any drug store.
Defective chimneys and flues caused
more than $18,000,000 destruction last
year; keep them clean and in repair.
A gas leak should be hunted with a flash-light
instead of an open flame light; to the
"suspected " part of the pipe apply soap
suds, which , in bubblin g, will reveal the
leak.
Walls, ceilings and partitio ns should be
shielded from the overheatin g of stoves,
furnaces and pipes.
Hot ashes belong in metal containers ,
not in wooden boxes and barre ls.
Oil lamps or stoves are safely filled only
in daylight .
Open fires always should be screened.
Comity Farmers Prefer
53-11 Variety Oats
Projects conducted this year by the
Dauphin County Agricultural Extension
Association in co-operation with twelve
Dauphin County farmers show that Japa-nese
select oats and Cornellian oats out-yield
home-grown varieties.
More than 110 acres were planted with
the two varieties this year , and reports
from all sections of Dauphin County,
show an average yield of fifty to 55 bushels
per acre .
"Fi fty-three-eleven " is the name given
the Japanese selection variety which has
been found to be especially suitable for
growing in Dauphin Count y. It is an
early maturing variety and is preferable
because earl y oats in average years escape
the dry spells of late June and early Jul y
when oats are in the makin g. Compara-tive
yields show tha t "53-11" outyields
home-grown and other varieties by five to
ten bushels per acre.
Cornellian oats, grown for two years in
this section ranks in yield and maturity
with "58-11" oats. These two varieties
have been prove d again this year to excell
avera ge home-grown oats, which is full of
mixtures and other late maturing varieties.
The yields have been inspected by H. D.
Musser, grain specialist of State College,
and will be bin-inspected. Between 4000
and 5000 bushels of seed will be available
this year.

A YOUTHFUL PRIZE WINNER
Last spring the children of the third
grade in the Hershe y Schools
^
bought
penn y packa ge seeds from the Children 's
Flower Mission in Ohio. Harold Ging-ri
ch, eight years old , invested five pennie s
in White Rjie Popcorn which he planted
on his father 's faun. I lis crop grew splend-idl
y, and his fat her, Mr. Clayton Gingrich ,
entered ten of the finest ears in the agricul-tura
l exhibit at the Lancaster County
Fair. The judges thought Harold' s corn
worthy of first prize and he has been re-ceiving
the congratulations of his teachers
and schoolmates on his blue-ribbon crop,
Four Weeks And
Then—What
Four weeks to election day. Then
what? Are we to have a four-years '
term of Calvin Coolidge, or are we to be
plunged into a chaotic condition? For it
surely must be one or the other.
The hold that John W. Davis has upon
the Solid South insures him a certain
defini te strength in the Electoral College.
There is no present indicat ion that he can
expect help from any other quarter except
from some of the States bordering the
South. If it were not for La Follett e the
campaign would be dreary in its one-sided-ness.
But La Follette is a threatening
factor. It is by no means impossible for
him to tie up the Electoral College so that
there will be no election by the people. In
that event—chaos.
Such a situation ought to appeal to all
voters not of the radical sort. It ought to
cause intelligent Democrats to pause before
casting their ballots and lead them to
weigh conditions very carefully. Were
this a straight contest between Coolidge
and Davis, they would be completely
justified as ^Democrats in supporting their
ticket loyally, although Charles W. Bryan
as a candidate for Vice President could be
swallowed only with difficulty by tens of
thousands of them.
But is there the slightest chance tha t
Davis can be elected? There does not
appear to be even the remotest hope for his
success. Every poll that has been made
reveals him in a helpless minority. Except
in the South the rivalry is between Cool-idge
and La Follette, with Coolidge very
generally in the lead. Wise Democrats,
therefore, must ask themselves this ques-tion:
"What is my duty in the circum-stances?
Shall I vote for Davis, and there-by
give aid to La Follette, or shall I help
to put La Follette out of the running by
voting directly for Coolidge? For it
evidently is to be a choice between Cool-idge
and chaos."
Coolidge or no election by the people,
which is another word for chaos. Such is
the turn which the campaign is taking .
Democrats who put love of countr y above
mere partizanship should do a good deal of
solid thinkin g before election day.

Missing Will Is
Axis Of Plot
Ha s a will ever played a part in your life?
Are you one of the great majority of
human s intrigued by the contents of a will?
If you answer ' yes" to either of the
above question do not miss the new Wm.
Fox production which will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday
evening, Oct. 14th.
A missing will is the axis around which
the plot of this tremendously interesting
picture revolves , with love and action
scenes crowded into every foot of the
entire reel.
Felipe Varill o has been cheated out of
the vast Torre Dorado ranch by his
br other-in-law. It is the duty of Carlos
Brent , his grandson, which role is played
by J ohn Gilbert who is starred In the
picture , to right this wrong and oust the
usurper. A long delayed letter gives a
clue to the missing will and in true Gilber-tain
fashion the search is started to the
most unusual of endings.
Carlos falls in love with the usurper's
daughter almost at the start and thereby
complicates things to such an extent that
one is led to believe he will never be able to
straighten them out. Ir !*» !*> ¦. What would you do if you had sworn to
your grandfather to right a wrong perpe-trated
on him and you discovered tliat by
doing so you would Impoverish and dis-grace
the woman you loved?
Tha t .is the situation in which Carlos
finds himself in "Romance Ranch ," When
he tells his aged grandfather he has met
Carmen the daughter of his brother-in-law
the old man says: "Have nothing more to
do with her. She is the daughter of a
thief. " Later he is ordered from Carmen's
home by her father.
Again st such unrelenting hate will youth
and love win out?
Vir ginia Brown Faire plays opposite Mr,
Gilbert as Carmen and her acting Is fault-less.
Others in the cast arc Evelyn Selble,
Frank Beal, J ohn Miljan and Bernard
Siegel.
It ia stated that 120 farms in York Coun

Hershey Football Team
In Hard Fought Battl e
With real summer baseball weather,
rulin g the day. Battery H, of Lebanon , and
Hershey battled to a 12-12 tie on Sunday
afternoon on the Twent y-Second and
Lehman streets field at Lebanon, in the
opening game of the year for both clubs.
More than one thousand fans walked,
drove or took the trolley to West Lebanon
where the battle was fought. The sun hit
the players hard and at the end of the game
both teams were about all in.
The game was a bit slow, but nothing
more could be expected of the padded men
on such a hot day. Getting off to a poor
start the chocolate mixers came back
strong and scored twice on the Lebanon
soldiers. Both scores came after long runs
by Yeagly and Smith , the first for forty
yards and the second for sixty. Yeagly
recovered a fumble by Keller on the forty
yard line and with a clear field ahead raced
across for the first Hershey score. Smith
intercepted a Lebanon pass and he also had
a clear field for a score. Both men missed
the goal after touchdown.
The ball see-sawed back and forth for
the first half of the game with the Lebanon
eleven having several chances to score, but
failed and gave up the ball on downs. Two
times the Lebanon eleven was within the
shadows of the goal but could not take it
over.
The second half of the game was thrilling
and every spectator on the bleachers and
along the side lines forgot the heat, in then-enthusiasm.

Soy Bean Acreage
Grows In County
Approximately 600 acres J_are in soy
bean s in Dauphin County this year as the
result of a campaign staged by the Dauphin
County Agricultural Extension Associa-tion
to insure an adequate supply of feed.
More than 100 farmers are growing soy
beans in all parts of the county.
Although this has been a poor year , the
average yield of soy bean ha? per acre has
been between one and one-hal f to two and
one-half tons. Analysis shows that this
crop contains one per cent, more protein
than average alfalfa hay and that it is
especially valuable to farms needing a
high percentage of lime to prepare the soil
for alfalfa.
County Agent R. R. Burtner points out
that it has several outstanding values.
Because it yields from eight to ten tons of
green feed, when pastures are poor in late
August and early September , soy beans
have been shown to be highly valuable.
The crop is valuable to plow under as a
soil improver, especially on poor , run-down
field s. As a legume hay when cut for
hay, soy beans make it possible to prepare
average land for seeding of wheat or rye
without plowing in the Fall. The crop
also supplies the soil with nitrogen because
of its ability to extract this element from
the air.
In comparison with the amount of soy
beans grown last year County Agent
Burtner states that only ten farmers
planted the crop on fifty acres , while this
year in excess of 600 acres were planted by
more than 100 farmers.
The farmers in this vicinity who have
grown soy beans this year are as follows:
P. W. Sayger, Hershey, R. D. No. 2; A. B.
Shenk, Hershey, R. D. No. 2; H. J. Im-boden
, Hershey; Cyrus Hitz , Hershey, R.
D.; F. E. Peters , Daniel Gerberich and

Bachmansville; Mark Hetrick , Lingles-town;
Christ Cassel , Hershey ; C. G. Sau-flcy,

Bell, Herahey, R. D. No. 1, and Wm.
Peters , of Campbelltown.

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC

Fire Company Elects
New Officers
The monthly meeting of the Hershey
Volunteer Fire Co. was held on Tuesday
evenin g at.the Hose House with the follow-ing
members presen t: Harry Imboden ,
John Conrad , J ohn Shay, Geo. Schroll,
Hiram Gibble, Paul Shoop, Harry Boyer,
Herman Seavers, Henr y Henny, David
Buck, J ohn Gordon , Chas. Palmer, Paul
Zentmeyer, Wm. Brinker , Dan. Ensminger
and J ^ R. Snavely.
An election of officers was held which
resul ted as follows: Presiden t, Paul Shoop;
vice-president , Dan. Ensminger ; secretary,
Roy Sternberger; treasurer, Robt. Satta-zahn;
chief , Harry Boyer ; assistant chief, Herman Seavers; trustees, John F. Snavely
J ohn Sollenberger and Stewart Mahon.
Owing to business reasons Daniel Ens-minger
handed in his resignation as vice
preside nt , and Henr y Henny was nomi-nated
and elected to fill this vacancy.
A smoker and booster meeting will be
held on Tuesday evening, Oct. 21st, and
Presiden t Brinker appointed the following
to act as a committ ee of arrangements:
Paul Shoop, Henr y Henny, Harry Boyer, Herman Seavers, Geo. Schroll and John
Shay.
It is to be hoped that the members will
take sufficient interest in the organization
to be present on Tuesday evening, Oct. 21,
in lar ge numbe rs. The Hershey Volunteer
Fire Company needs "perking " up, and
the booster meeting is held for the purpose
of giving the new administration a good
start.
The smokes will be on the newly-elected
officers, and if the committee can procure
some cider there will be good cheer handed
around in goodly-sized mugs. Besides
the smokes and cider, there will be hot
doggies. Make it a point to attend this
smoker and start the ball arolling .
It seems a rather odd state of affairs that
the people of Hershey take so littl e interest
in their fire organization. Instead of it
being alert, progressive and efficient , it is
just the opposite—this is due to a great
extent to the do-nothing attitude of our
citizens, which has the same effect on the
organization itself, the greater number of
whose members consider the Hose House a
place in which to play cards and pool.
Presiden t Shoop and the newly-electe d
officers plan to lift up the organization by
its boot straps , with the ultimate purpose
of makin g the Hershey Volunteer Fir e
Company a real honest-to-goodness-fire-fighting
organization.
Regeneratio n Theme
Of "The Stran ger"
One of the season s finest pictures will be
shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on
Thursda y evening, Oct. 16th. It 's "The
Stranger," a Paramoun t picturization of a
short story by J ohn Galsworthy. Betty
Compson, Richard Dix, Lewis Stone and
Tull y Marshall are the featured players .
J oseph Henabery directed.
Even if film fans will but remember the
Miss Compson of "The Mir acle Man ,"
Richard Dix of "The Chri stian ," Lewia
Stone of "Scaramouche " and Tull y Mar-shall
of "The Covered Wagon" and
imagine them all in one picture, they can
then make bu t an inaccurate guess of
wha t "The Stranger '' is like. You have to
see it to actually realize how really big this
production is. It 's a story of regeneration ,
chuck full of heart-interest and appeal— a
pict ure that has met with the approval of
the press the country over. „, ,rt(
There's humor, too, to lighten the more
dramatic sequences. "Th e Str anger " is
so well done in fact that, though of the
regular feature length, it seems to slip by
all too quickly, so engrossed is one in the
action taking place on the screen. There 's
not a lagging moment in it.
This is Miss Compson's first picture
since her ret urn from England. A word
here, too, on the superb characterization of
Tully Marshall in the title role would not
go amiss. It more than measures up to
the standard set by his "Brid ger " in The
Covered Wagon," and that is praise indeed,
Richard Dix has alwa ys been one of our
favorites, and there's nobody quite like
Lewis Stone for a role such as Keith Dar-ran
t.
