Robert Stable will remodel his home on
the Stable estate, north of Hershey, in the
near future.
Miss Minnie Miller , of the Hershey Inn ,
who underwent an operation at the Harris-burg
Hospital , is improving very nicely.
. Grover Sheckart , after being on the sick
list for several days last week, was on the
job on Monday morning. Grover says
this is the first time he has been laid up
since he was in a hospital in France , and
that was brought about by German bullets.
Dr. C. Cramer, although he is a dispen-ser
of pills, tonics, jetc, is not immune, and
had to take some of his own medicine for
the past week, owing to the proclivi ties of
old man grippe. Hard luck, Doc!
Dp. Frank Nissley, the veternarian , is a
busy man these days, for even the cattle
and horses have their aches and pains. Dr.
Nissley is a graduate of U. of P., and the
cattle and horses have a great deal of faith
in his ability, and they take his prescrip-tions
willingly, very willingly indeed. All
the cattle and horses for ten miles around
are on the "Doc 's" calling list, and that is
why he is such a busy man. There is an
old saying that "if you want anything done
go to a busy man and you will have it
done," and if you have any cattle or horses
that need a veternarian 's attention , call
him up, and he will be there in a jiffy.

regional industrial conference by
Y. VV. C. A. workers , at Lancaster , on Sat-urday

welfare workin g among industrial girls
were discussed and programs for education
and recreation were adopted.
Last Wednesda y Fred Botts, the artistic
decorator at the Hershe y Departmen t
Store , was in quite some dilemma. He
stepped into the elevator at the store
during noon hour , with the intention of
coming down from the third floor. In
some manner the elevator became locked,
and it would not move up or down, and
furthermore , the door refused to open. As
a consequence Fred had to remain in the
elevator for half an hour and he sure did
step a leg when the door was opened by
Joh n Lyons and Geor ge Lafferty.
Parke Cassad y is an expert of no mean
ability in the radio world. In fact his
station , which is 3AQR , has been heard in
England several times this. Winter. We
wonder if Parke tells the world about the
goodness of Hershey 's Chocolates or the
value of Bradle y's lime and stone, possibly
it is 50-50.

Legion Dance
Was Big Success
One of the greatest events ever held in
Hershey was the dance and social held on
Thursday evening, February 22, by Her-shey
Post of the American Legion. The
affair was held in the spacious Winter
Dance Hall, acid proved one o£ the most
Successful in the history of the community.
There was a booth heavily laden with
sweet-meats; all made in the good;, old-fashioned
way. Chocolate creams, mints,
cherries, all so good and 100 per cent. pure.
There were chocolate cakes, Cocoanuts,
"White Mountains " and "Martha Wash-ington
's"—and , oh, so many others , all
wholesomely fresh and delicious.
The punch bowl was freely patronized
throughout the evening. The concoction
was guaranteed to withstand the require-ments
of the Volstead enactment. Those
that sipped thereof wished for the good
old days, when punch was really punch.
The Banjo-Saxo orchestra tunefully
filled the air with harmonious melodies.
This orchestra is all pep, and no matter
whether it was an alluring waltz, a fox trot
or a one-step, the dancers could not get
enough , and encored for more.
One of the special features of the evening
was to have been the broadcasting of
music by radio , but owing to the hasty
installation and the' antennia not being
high enough , the results were not satisfac-tory.
The following is an exaggerated report ,
as printed in the Harrisburg Patriot:
"Some 500 Hershey folks, gathered for
the American Legion dance at the Hershe y
Inn , almost went home disap pointed to-night.
'The reason for this was that a radio
receiving station at the dance hall failed to
receive anything that might be termed
"danceable. " «4mm
"Far in advance of the event, the pro-moters
had announced that the dancers
would wrestle a restless foot to music
received by radio.
"A receiving set was recently installed ,
and tonight a hugh crowd poured into the
haK toi~dance by radio music for the first
tune.
"Along about 820 o'clock the radio
began to talk. Presentation of the drama ,
"Secret Service," a play of the Civil War ,
was first on the schedule of the broadcast-ing
station at Schnectad y, the radio an-nounced.
"The dancers listened with absorbing
interest , hoping that the program of the
play included a musical selection or so.
"They weren 't disappointed. Along
came, "Marching Through Georgia ," and
other songs popular in the 60's. It' s a
well-known fact , of course, that a Twen-tieth
Century dance can't be done to such
antique tunes. So the dancers stood silent
and continued to listen and hope.
"The play completed, the radio clicked
of another announ cement. An orchestra
playing at Hotel McAlpin, New York,
would play, it declared.
"Ah , h?re it was at last—popular dance
music by a highclass galaxy of artists play-ing
in one of America's most prominent
hotels.
"But again they were disappointed. The
Gotham orchestra began with the opera,
and before this was completed the wind
began to rattle the tin roof of thedancehall.
"This complicated matters considerable ,
with the result that the program given in
New York was cut short and the dancers
compelled to dance to music furnished by
an orchestra obtained for the occasion."
The cakewalk was another feature
which provided amusement. The large
cake was an achievement in the pastry art ,
baked by Mrs. George Shearer. It was
won by Mr. and Mrs. H. J . Newton , of
Harrisbur g.
Those who did not care to dance played
500. The prizes were won by Miss Nellie
Rich, Mrs. Edwin Schwenk , Mrs. Willis
Dressier , Irv in Slesser, Merle Harris and
Willis Dressier. V
The hall was very appropriately and
beautifully decorat ed. Lar ge American
flags were gracefully draped throu ghout
the hall , while other displays were effec-tively
used. It was a very pretty setting
indeed and won the admiration of all.
The members of the Post are well
pleased, and take this opportunity of
thankin g everybody for their generous
support.

Mr. Murrie To
Present Colors
On Tuesda y evening Mr. Wm. F. R.
Murrie addressed the Hershe y Post, No.
386, of the American Legion, with a very
large attendance of members being present.
Mr. Murrie. in a very forceful and effec-tive
manner stated how the Hershe y Post
could best serve the communit y. He did
not mince matters , but hit straight from
the shoulder , and his truths did not fall
upon barren ground. He did not devote
his talk entirel y to the duties the Post
owed to the communit y, but at times, with
his witty stories, told in hip inimitable
manner , caused much heart y laughter ,
Mr. Murrie concluded his talk by stating
that he would offer to the Hershe y Post a
stand of colors, which includes the Amer-ican
flag and the Legion colors—and a
mighty fine gift it is.

"Nanook of the
North " Next Week
"Nanook of the North ," the remarkab le
Pathe feature which will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings 'of next week, with a
special afternoon snowing at 4 o'clock for
school children , is the first motion picture
to depict the actual life of the Eskimo, it
being a truthful and vivid story of Father
and Mother Eskimo and all the little Es-kimos
at home.
It was made for Revillon Freres by
Robert J. Flaherty, engineer and explorer
on the Sir William Mackenzie expeditions
in the barren lands of the northeast coast
of Hudson Bay, and described by him in
published records of the American Geo-graphical
Society.
Between 1912 and 1918, Mr. Flaherty
made five expeditions , covering the Ungava
Peninsula and parts of Baffin 's Land ,
guided by Eskimos, He accompanied
them as they traveled with their families,
Winter and Summer , subsisting wholly
upon their catches of fish, seals and walrus;
sheltered by their tents of skins in Summer
and their snow igloos In Winter , built at
the end of a day of dog-sledge travel , the
spirit thermometers registering 54 degrees
below zero, Farhenhei t.
All these activities are shown in "Na-nook
of the North ," which Mr. Flaherty
photographed , developed , printed and
projected in the frozen , barren North.
Despite the hardships and handicaps of
havin g no laboratory in which to work ,
"Nanook of the North" is said to be a
veritable gem of photo graphy, with none
of the glare and blur that so frequently
mar pictures photographed in the snow
country.
Nanook of the North Is a true , living
story of a life that is stark and dramatic; a
life that is tragic to civilization but happy
and peaceful to the Eskimo, that wonderfu l
race that lives In the frozen vastness at the
top of the world. While this film, pro-duced
on the East Coast of Hudson Bay by
Robert J. Flahert y, F. R. G. S„ is a story
of the life of an Eskimo family, in some
subtle way it unfolds a story full of love
and fidelity; danger , thrills and suspense;
humor and pathos , and great pictorial
beaut y.
Mr. Flaher ty is an engineer and an
explorer; "Nanook of the North" proves
him also an artist ' and a lover of human
nature. He mak es you love the Eskimos
as he does, after years of living with them.
The photography is free from the glare and
blur that characterizes snow scenes, and a
remarkable point Is the fact that the film
was developed In tlio Arctic by Mr . Flah-erty,
in spite of the low temperature and
lack of a full y equipped laboratory. , Yet
it puts to shame other films in its perfec -
tion. -Some of the Eskimos in the picture
learned to assist in the developing and
printing. By all means see "Nanook of
the North" --you can't afford not to,
Don't forget the special showing at 4
o'clock on Tuesda y afternoon for the school
children. Admi ssion 10 cents,

Chop-Down Sale
Drew Big Crowds
The "(Shop Down Sale" held on Wash-ington's
Birthday at the Hershey Depart-ment
Store was without a doubt one of the
most successful ever held by this progres-sive
store. Prices were not merely re-duced
, but were, as advertised , chopped
down to the limit.
The store was thronged morning, after-noon
and evening, by crowds who were
reaping the benefit of the many "Chopped
Down" bargains abounding in every one of
the many departments of the store.
Souvenirs consisting of hatchets in cake
form were given away by George and
Martha Washington , imper sonated so
pleasingly by Mr. and Mrs . D. Fred Botts.
Music for the occasion was furnished by
the Banjo-Saxo orchestra , of Harrisbur g,
filling the store with tuneful melodies, and
which were most graciously received.
The store was artistically and appro-priately
decorat ed for the event. Large
and small American flags were drap ed,
throughout the store , while large hatchets ,
emblematic of the day, were effectively
used. A large oval picturization of George
Washington was the centre of attraction.
On the outside of the store , above the
doorway, was a large cutout showing
George cutting down a cherry tree. This
display brought forth much comment,
complimentary and otherwise , but it filled
its purpose nevertheless. Mr Botts In-formed
us that It took exactly three hours
to paint the canvas , and about one hour to
do the cut-out work.

out on an extensive programme of refores-try.
Last year 130,000 trees were planted ,
but this year 160,000 are to be planted on
the mountains , carefully protected against
fires. In order to facilitate the work, the
company has established its own tree
nursery. Scotch pine, white pine, Norway
spruce , hard maple and white ash are the
chief varities being planted. These trees
will not only make a picturesque appear-ance,
but in the future will be valuable for
mine timber.

New York , the largest city in the world ,
and , to many the greatest, is the mael-strom
of fife. It has its workers and its
drones. It has its gilded palaces and its
dilapidated hovels. It has its churches
and its dungeons. It has its boulevards
arid its slums. It has rags and riches. It
has its ups and downs. It is New York.
Since Hendrick Hudson first sailed up
the Hudson river and gave the Indians
twenty-four dollars for Manhattan Island ,
the question of what was the end for the
uninitiated has been a pointed one.
Writers have painted scenes from the
picture which the great city pres ents.
Painters have put on canvas the terrors
and pitfalls which await the young and
unsophisticated in the mad swirl of the
city's existence. But still they come.
From the small town and the farm , from
big city and from hamlet , each year come
thousands of young men and young women
to be caught on the ebb tide of defeat and
carried out to the whirlpool of disaster , or
to be swept on the wings of prosperity and
carried to the heights of success.
There is no half way answer to the ques-tion.
There is no in between. The trail
of New York ends in success or failure , and
more often in the latter. New York is as a
poisonou s potion to the untutored and
unschooled in the ways of life.
Editorials may be written and sermons
preached which may tell of dangers of the
metropolis , but a sermon, more effective
than the spoken or written word , has been
arranged by William Fox. "Lights of
New York ," a Fox super-production ,
clearly shows both sides of life in the big
city.
This stupendous screen drama , which is
due to arrive at the Hershey Central Thea ^
tre on Saturday evening, March 3d, at
7:45 o'clock, is so constructed that it tells
two complete stories in one. One part of
the picture shows the easy road from
success to failure, and the other the reverse
showing the pitfalls that await ever those
who think they know. _
Ministers , editors , public officials and
educators of every degree have proclaimed
the photodrama on of the greatest ever
presented. The production was staged
with every regard for detail and New York
is shown, not as the pretty, gay, city of the
Great White Way, but , as the city itself.
O. Henry has called it "The City of
Sighs and Tears. "
It is.
