              Hershe y Tea House
Soon Read y for
1925 Season
One of the most beautiful road houses on
the William Penn Highway is that of the
Hershey Tea House.
It is situated on East Chocolate Avenue
and occupies a home-like two-story stone
building, overlooking Spring Creek, which
despite its age, for it is mentioned in the
old Derry Church documents away back
in the time of the sons of William Penn,
is a saucy stream, playfully rippling on its
winding course through the turfy swards
on its way to beautiful Hershey Park.
To attract the motorists there is a quaint
sign, constructed of unbarked pine, fifteen
feet in height. The large sign board is
lettered "The Hershey Tea House" and
hanging on either side of it are electric
lights. Above the sign is an old farm bell,
which years ago, with its joyful clanging,
did gladden the toilers in the fields, for it
meant a respite from their labors and that
a well-laden table awaited them. • It does
not ring as of yore, but it fulfills its purpose
and silently gives forth a hearty and cordial
invitation to motorists to come in and en-joy
its many comforts.
On the spacious porch, shaded by huge
weeping willows, one can indeed find peace
and contentment, and gazing upon Spring
Creek singing and bubbling as it passes
under the stone bridge, one can lose one-self
in blissful revery, especially after
having tasted of the good things as served
at the Hershey Tea House.
Inside is a cozy reception hall, with
restful chairs aplenty. To the left is the
tea room. Throughout the large room
there pervades an atmosphere of good cheer
and contentment. Here one may be
served chocolate, cocoa, coffee or tea, also
the most appetizing of salads, sandwiches,
delicious cakes and pastries and tooth-some
delicacies. Adjoining is the en-closed
porch and solarium.
To the right of the reception hall is the
dining room, which is used upon special
occasions. It is furnished in a most in-viting
manner
Upstairs is the "Simplicity Room." As
the name implies, everything is plain, and
the tone is subdued. This is used for
small social affairs.
The Tea House is under the able man-agement
of Mrs. Wm. Hyland and through
her ability and her efforts to please the Tea
House has won a place in the hearts of the
motorists and has met with much success.

Zane Grey Story
First to be Done
in Natural Colors
The first motion picture to be done
entirely in natural colors is the Zane Grey
Paramount production, "Wanderer of the
Wasteland, which will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday
evening, March 7th, at '6.30 o'clock and
8.30 o'clock, was produced in the original
locale described in the book, the deserts of
Arizona, by Irvin Willat. Jack Holt,
Kathlyn Williams, Noah Beery and Billy
Dove are featured in the principal roles.
According to Jesse L. Lasky, first vice-president
in charge of production of Para-mount,
"Wanderer of the Wasteland" is
Zane Grey's favorite story and the most
popular of all the books he has given to the
American public.
"In this picture we have used the famous
Technicolor process—the same process
which proved such a sensational success in
the Biblical prologue df Cecil B. DeMille's
superproduction, "The Ten Command-ments."
To achieve the best results we
went to considerable expense and "trouble
so that the coloring of the picture might be
as near perfection as it is possible to attain.
A special camera staff organized by the
Technicolor Company was sent from
Boston. This staff took with it into the
desert all of the intricate paraphernalia
necessary for the photographing of color
pictures, the entire production company
spending several weeks in camp, as practi-cally
all of the picture was photographed
in the desert.
"Not only because of the color photog-raphy
but also because of the dramatic
story, which Zane Grey has written, we
expect 'Wanderer of the Wasteland' to
prove one of the outstanding pictures of
the year."
"Wanderer of the Wasteland, is a
story of the great American Sahara, when
men braved unbelievable hardships in their
hunt for gold—a hunt, which brought
thousands into the desert—a hunt, from
which mere handfuls returned successful ;
many never did return at all. The mere
fact that this Zane Grey novel sold over a
million copies, is evidence enough of the
popularity of the story. But when you
see the picture, done entirely in natural
colors at that, you'll say you never saw
anything like it before in your life and be
telling the truth.
Playing in support of the featured
players is an unusually strong cast, which
includes, among others, James Mason,
Richard R. Neill, James Gordon, William
Carroll and Willard Cooley.
Tom Mix Will Spring
Surprise as Bold
English Bandit
Of all the forthcoming movie events of
the current season, none will arouse more
interest than the announcement that Tom
Mix, heretofore far-famed only as a West-ern
star, will be seen at the Hershey Cen-tral
Theatre in the title role of "Dick
Turpin ," the romantic bandit of Merrie
England in days of yore when fussy clothes,
trimmed in fine laces, and hats with large
plumes were the vogue for men. The
date for the opening of this attraction has
been set for Thursday, March 10th, at
7.30 o'clock, and it is a foregone conclusion
that Mix is going to be "inspected " by his
many followers here with ultra-critical
eyes, because it is next to impossible to
imagine him attired in anything save the
raiment of the modern American cowboy.
William Fox, who will present "Dick
Turpin ," has spared no expense to make
this feature a screen classic de luxe, it is
claimed, and it is heralded as the most
ambitious production in which Mix ever
appeared. Critics on all the metropolitan
papers liave received it with unusual
acclaim as one of the few films deserving
of eternal life.
The star has been surrounded by a
sterling cast of screen favorites including
Kathleen Myers, Lucille Hutton, Alan
Hale, Philo McCullough, Bull Montana
and Fay Holderness. Charles Kenyon ,
author of "The Iron Horse," wrote the
story and J. G. Blystone directed the
production. It is programmed as "a
drama of thrilling romance and adven-ture
" and it is promised that Mix proves
most successful as a gallant lover of ye fair
lady of yore.

A Tramp to the
Dead Sea,
Jericho and Gilgal
(By John Halgren)
Having seen Jerusalem and its surround-ings
two of us decided to make a hike to
the Dead Sea and Jericho. The distance is
not so great, but by the Christians in
Jerusalem it was considered very ad-venturous
to undertake the journey by
foot. After a light breakfast and carrying
with us only the most necessaries we
started off pn a Saturday morning about
8 o'clock through the St. Stephani gate
out to the Mount of Olives, following the
sandy road to Bethany on the eastern
siope of the Mount of Olives.
We looked up the ruins of the house
where the god-fearing Lazarus and his two
sisters, Martha and Maria had lived,
whom Jesus loved and where he often was
a welcome guest. We descended into a
deep cellar supposed to have been the tomb
of Lazarus and guarded by an old gray
Arab and a ragged boy, who both kept
their hands outstretched, begging for
"Bakshish!" the very first word the
traveler hears on nearing the shores of
Asia and Africa where Arabic is spoken.
From here we started our hike cross-country.
An Arab followed us and offered
his service as guide, but we refused him
with an excuse. Over the hills and down
the valleys we kept marching under the
burning sun, while our thirst got almost
unbearable. Arriving in a deep valley,
the bottom of a dried-up stream we fol-lowed
it for a distance in hope of finding
some water, but when we saw some Be-douins
further down ahead of us, we forgot
all about our thirst and started to cross
some more hills and dales overgrown with
dried-up Sodom-apple plants and a thorny
shrub, from which the crown of the Savior
was made. We were just discussing our
narrow escape when we stood face to face
with a Bedouin on horseback, armed with
a long spear, an old pistol and a hilt full of
cartridges. He stopped within a few
paces of us and asked if we were armed.
We told him we had neither guns or money,
but were looking for fresh water. He
pointed in the direction of a well and rode
away, assuring us we were two foolhardy
Christians, daring to tramp through the
desert, considered the most unsafe part of
Palestine.
Shortly afterward we discovered on a
nearby hillslope a large Bedouin camp. We
knew there was water, but preferred to get
out of sight as soon as possible only to
encounter some young Bedouin girls with
large leatherbags carried on their heads on
their way to get water. They were scanti-ly
attired, slender of build, but well pro-portioned
and beautiful types of a race
that is reared and lives ever close to nature.
We soon arrived at the well on a hillside
covered with verdure, the only green spot
we found in the desert. Here was gathered
quite a crowd of Bedouins and shepherds,
all armed to the teeth with revolvers, old
pistols, knives, old brasstrjmmed rifles and
around the waist that belt of pride with
cartridges. We felt rather cheap among
those noisy desert children, but they
proved to be good-natured and we natur-ally
showed the same spirit, so we got all
the water we needed, even if some of them
in the meantime did steal all the sand-wiches
we had in our pockets. Of course
we could not object, but departed with a
friendly "Mar haba!" We went down to
the bottom of the valley and met there
another Bedouin on horseback, armed
with an old spear, but we simply saluted
and went on our way.
At last, when the sun was slowly sinking
below the hilltops, we discovered a white
spot, a misty outline of the mosque Nebi
Moso, i. e. the well of Moses, its square
wall and numerous cupolas making it look
like a basket with eggs. It is a lone
building in the Judean desert, probably
erected as a resting place for poor Mo-hammedan
pilgrims going to or from Mec-ca.
Built in a square around a fresh
water spring with an outside arcade for
camels and campfires, and an inside arcade
for the protection of the tired pilgrims it
also has minaret , where the muezzin calls
the faithful to prayers. As we approached
no one was to be seen or heard; the remains
of the campfires seemed old and conse-quently
we entered through the main
arch and went up in the minaret to see if
everything was clear. We heard a noise
down below and discovered in one of the
arches a moving ragpile, a praying Mo-hammedan,
whom we approached with
"Marhaba!" He replied very friendl y
with "Allah Ju Sallimak!" (God bless you!)
He told us of his pilgrimage on foot from
Tripolis in Africa to Mecca and now he
was on his return with about a thousand
miles to walk. His only baggage was a
tremendous Mohammedan Khora n, which
he carried on his back. As the Bedouins
had stolen most of our sandwiches we had
a rather light supper after a hot day 's
strenuous march , but we divided what we
had between the three of us and had lots of
fine spring water with the refreshments.
As we kept on talking and listening to our
Pilgrim 's interesting tales the evening
went fast and the large red moon rose over
(lie Moabitie mountains, just as it did
thousands of years back , the millions
mosquitoes started their mighty choir
and we had to rake the ashes of our fire
and went up on the nx>f between the
cuixilas to sleep, covered with some
grass ruga we found there.
Alxmt 4 o'clock In the morning we took
a look nt the desolate desert, yet in a
gloomy weird light from the sinking moon.
Here and there we could hear the heart-rending
howl of the marauding jackals ,
but nearby was all still as death, even the
mosquitoes had temporarily succumbed for
the low temperature between 35 degrees-
45 degrees. Shivering from cola we
descended from our hivoualc and started
again for the Dead Sea. The day got
very hot , but we carried with us a jug of
water from Nebi' Mosa and after three
hours tramp we stood on the Inst hilltops
limiting down on that old historic basin of
the Dead Sea, alxiut 20 miles in length and
three or . four miles wide, the world' s
lowest sea-level. We literally slid down
the 100 feet or more of sandy slope and
were soon on the plain below, dotted with
some salty shrubs, midges and dwarf
sumacs. The Hiilphur-vnnort) were very
annoying for a beginning hut we kept on
steadily forward and sttxxl on the very
shore of the plastic memorial over the
Valley of Shiddlm with the biblica l cities
Sodom and Gomonhn.
Everything here is covered with an
inch-thick crust of salt, looking its if the
water had receded, leaving a thin shell of
Ice behind. The water contains 23 ixsrcent
mineral salts, compared with the ocean's
3,fi per cent, making the water very heavy
ond immovable for mi ordinary breeze,
There is no fish ImjIow Its surface nnd no
seagulls olxive it. Stones thrown in , sank
with a dull sound, but made no ringlets
and when bathing, one can neither swim
nor sink.
We went up to the inlet of Jordan and
followed the river up to the place where
Christ was Ixiptlzed by John the Bant 1st,
near the Russian convent St. EraHlmun,
erected ns a hospltlum for Russian pil-f;
rlm«. Our approach was heralded by
lalf a dozen barking dogs; who surrounded
us, but were recalled by a monk who wut

\ The Smokestack \ I (By 'Dee J ay Qce \
The Village Sheik
I am the village sheik,
My hair is sleek,
I go to the barber once a week
And get its edges trimmed.
I am not a sailor,
Although my tailor
Measured my trousers with very good care,
To be sure they presented the nautical flare
And mimmicked the wide ones the college
boys wear,
I am the village sheik.
I am the village sheik,
I do not speak
Of how all the fair sex seems to seek
My pleasant company.
Am I a dancer?
You know the answer.
I get a dance with some other man's Jane,
And her main conversation is, "Let's dance
again."
The girls are all strong for me, I should
complain,
I am the village sheik.
I am the village sheik,
My loud socks shriek,
The cigarette smoke curls from my beak
In tantalizing clouds.
I am the youthful,
Faithful and truthful
Model of what a young man ought to wear,
of how much he should drink and how loud
he should swear.
Let small-towners laugh at me, what do I
care,—
I am the village sheik.
Now has arrived the time of year when
the married man can give the single man
the merry ha-ha. Let him laugh long and
loud. He seldom has the chance. A
joyous income tax days, how wise are the
makers of the laws by which We live! How
thoughtful of us to be married and not to
be making enough money so we must pay
a tax.
Uneasy lies the man that lies to the
judge.
The man with the Wooden Leg says he
can see that Coolidge's ideas of economy
are being followed out in the new spring
styles. They are economical of material,
at least. Short and snappy is the vogue
for spring.
Now also hath come the time of year
when in every man's heart there beats the
conviction that he will raise his own cab-bage
and tomato plants this year, spade his
own garden, keep it free the whole summer
long from weeds that choke and bugs that
bite, and harvest an ample reward for his
labor.
Hope springs eternal in the human
breast.
Yes, we are ashamed of ourselves. We
wonder what you would have done under
the circumstances. Saturday night, at
five minutes of seven, we passed the Her-shey
Quick Lunch. There is nothing
unusual in that. We pass it at least four
times every day, at least six on Saturday.
But we did see something unusual? It
was in broad lamplight, right in front of
the Quick Lunch. Yes, two young men
were drinking from a bottle of hootch.
Both were not drinking at the same time.
They took turns. They did not heed the
passing of strangers or of friends.
Poor fellows. They were having such a
lovely time we did not interrupt them.
Perhaps they were so intent on the busi-ness
of the evening that interruption
would have been impossible. But, any-how,
we did as Mr. Average Citizen would
have done. We passed them by. We
kidded ourselves into believing that viola-tion
of the law was none' of our business.
What would you have done?
Well, anyway, as we said, the fellows
were pretty well wrapped up in their
drinking, and they put us in mind of a
weasel we killed when we lived on the
farm.
The weasel attached himself to an old
red hen. This happened forty rods from
the house. The hen cackled and yelled.
She ran toward us. She dragged the
weasel along like a tail. Well, that weasel
was that taken up with his drinking blood
that he never saw us at all. We brought
a handy board down on his head, and he
passed out of this life, carrying with him,
no doubt, to weasel heaven the taste of the
warm beverage he had been drinking.
Some men are boys at sixty. During
the recent warm spell we looked out of our
window and saw a rather nice sedan, one
whose tires we are not worthy to inflate.
Some ladies got out and went into the store
to do some shopping. But the driver of
the air (he was not sixty, we don't know
how old he was, but we venture he was a
successful business man) remained behind.
And what do you think he did to while
away the minutes the women folks were
inside, shopping? I Ic played marbles with
two Italian lx>ys who happened along. lie
had a g<xxl time at it , t(x>. And txifore he
drove away, he gave the Ixiys a shiny piece
of money with which to replenish their
stock of marbles.
As he drove off , we wondered which was
the happier , the man with the sedan, whose
tires we are not worthy to inflate , or the
two Italian boys with their piece of shiny
silver.
A Time and Change! The boy who
boasted lie could spit farther through his
teeth than any kid in Toad Hollow has
grown into the man who, according to his
own admission , has had New Zealand and
the Philippines on his radio,
Mrs, , Movie Fan, no, we didn 't say
moving van , has been much taken up
with the westerns. She adores the dash-ing
cawlxiys and all that. In fact sl(e
thinks it , rather unfortunate that she
married a tired business man instead of a
rancher . So romantic and all that . Yes,
she has tried to weave a little of the roman-tic
around the Mister.
When they vacationed Inst summer tit
her uncle's farm , she succeeded In getting
the Mister to saddle her uncle's fastest
steed. She supplied him with cigarette
pn|x;rs and the makin 's, and he did some
(rick riding which pleased her well, Hut.
Mister figured If he were going to be n real
cowpuuclier , and not u real one, he must
chaw plug tobacco. Well, when he spit in
the wotxl box the vacation came to an
abrupt end.
Moral: Things look better at n distance.
A Sonar of Spring
A half a day off , a half a (lay off I
We have our new license, we'll start up the

We'll pump up the tires and drive way up

Coffee and Tea Are
Injurious to
Nervous Systems
There are as many causes for "nerves'
as there are things that happen to the
human body, says Edwin F. Bowers, M.
D., in "Strength." Any one of these, if
harped upon long enough, may be sufficient
to fray the cord and spoil the physical
harmony that exists between sound nerves
and healthy bodies. An unseasonable
haircut may bring about an attack of
neuralgia that will leave the entire nervous
system shaken and unstable for weeks. An
outstanding and obstreperous bunion,
trying the patience and endurance of old
Prudence Patience herself, will ravel and
tangle more nerve fibrils than Horatio ever
dreamed of.
Everything between" the hair and the
toes that rubs the fur of life the wrong way,
that makes two irritations grow where
none grew before, and that puts undue
strain and stress on any part of the com-plicated
electro-chemical machine we call
the body, may develop a more or less
aggravated attack of "nerves."
The most frequent cause for "nerves,"
however, is poison—poison of the most
deadly character—generated as a result
of fermentation and decomposition of food
products, and because of failure to get rid
of the broken-down and worn-out organic
material through the skin, kidneys and
bowels.
No cure of the trouble is humanly poss-ible
unless this cause is first corrected.
But to correct this cause requires the most
careful regulation of the diet, and of every-thing
that has to do with the feeding habits
Those who are accustomed to cry "Hold,
enough!" only when they cannot possibly
hold any more, will have to learn that
"feeding" doesn't mean "stuffing." Also,
that every particle of unnecessary food
taken into the system acts only as a hand-ful
of ashes would act if carefully sifted
into the running gear of an automobile.
Coffee and Tea Bad for Nerves
Another great little help to that "sweet
bells jangled out of tune" state, is coffee
and also its seductive sister, tea.
When you remember that our annual
consumption of coffee is about a dozen
pounds for every man, woman and child in
this nerve-racked country, not to mention
goodness only knows how much tea (even
more nerve-racking than coffee), you will
cease to wonder at the nerve decadence of
so many thousands of American men and
women.
Remember that coffee contains 1.23%
of caffeine. This means that each cup of
coffee of average strength carries from 2 to
3 grains of caffeine—a very fine drug where
indicated, but a very definite source of
danger, where it isn't needed, as any well-informed
doctor will tell you. ' Think this
over.
Numerous Seers
Predicted Saturda y
Night's Earth quake
Numerous seers and astrologers both
in this country and Europe predicted the
earthquake which caused New York to
begin thinking of heaven Saturday night.
While none of them was so accurate as
to forecast the date of the "tremblor,"
several came fairly close to it in their pre-dictions.
Here are some of the prophets
and prophecies, together with the date the
latter were made:
August 31. 1923, by Rev. Arthur W.
Brooks, professor of English , Greek Semi-nary
of St. Athanasius; "earthquake shock
and other seismic disturbances may be
expected during the next five years, due to
this year's eclipse happening in the seven-teenth
degree of Virgo.
January 1, 1925, by "Prof." Gustav
Meyer, of Hoboken, "The nation counse-lor,
"New York , New Jersey, New Hamp-shire,
Ohio and California will tremble
with earthquakes."
April 10, 1924, by "Mother" Hall ,
seance seercss of Manhattan:
"The Japanese quake is going^ to join the
Mexico quake and it 's not going to stop
until it gets right here to New York. I
hate to tell you, honest, but 1 see a big,
wide crack all the way down 132d street. "
September 22, 1924, by "Cloud Digger ,"
redoubtable prognosticator of Packerville,
Ct.:
"I look for several big earthquakes in
the next six months."
October 20, 1924, by "Thylbus," Paris-ian
astrologer: "International dickering
will begin in January to be followed by an
earthquake. "
October 26, 1924, by the Abbe Moreux ,
director of the Bourgen Observatory,
Hamburg. Germany : "Great danger con-fronts
mankind in the four years beginning
in 1925, due to sun s|K)ts which are respons-ible
for the perkxlical madness of the

Radio is Chan ging
Lives and
Habits of Nation
"Radio is rapidly changing our lives and
habits as a nation," says Roger W. Babson,
the statistician, who sees much more than
entertainment or even education in the
millions of radio receiving sets scattered
throughout America.
"The great basic Law of Action and
Reaction which governs our social ana
economic world is seen-once more in .the
development of radio broadcasting ana
reception," he says. "Emerson caJea
it the Low of Compensation. Nature
employs it to keep things in balance.
America has always been a home-loving
nation but we may say that we have been
more home-loving at some times than at
others.
"The coming of the automobile changed
our lives. Quick and relatively easy
transportation widened our horizons. We
had held pretty much within a radius ol
live mile«; suddenly our individual worla
is expanded to a radius of fifty miles. Our
daily world has been increased tremend-ously
and we changed our habits ol life to
take advantage of our broadened horizons.
Our social business and economic lives
have almost had to be built all over again
to meet these changes. The small towns
lost trade to the cities because it became
easy to drive twenty-five miles to the
store offering better assortment and be-sides
it was fun to drive. To offset this
in part the farmer is now selling his
vegetables and fruit from the roadside
stand without recourse to the ordinary
channels of distribution. The oil, steel,
and plate glass industries have benefited
directly, while street railways, shoes and
certain other industries have suffered
either from the fact that the automobile
competed with them directly or changed
people's habits so they no longer bought
so much of certain products.
"The most revolutionary change, how-ever,
come in our habit of life. .Business
conditions are changing constantly, new
industries are coming in, old ones are fading
out, the risks involved in these changes are
a part of the uncertainty that every busi-ness
man and every investor must assume.
But when some development comes along
that threatens to change our whole Ameri-can
life and the foundations upon which
it rests—the matter should not bypassed
over without careful examination. The
automobile did just this for it took us out
of our homes. I do not argue the relative
advantage or disadvantage of the change
but the widening of our horizons, the in-creasing
of our individual worlds to several
times their previous size, naturally left
the home a smaller and less important
part of our lives. The country clubs has
come and the outdoor life has made us a
healthier nation but the home has shrunk
to a sort of way station where we stop
momentarily to change clothes and grab
a bile to eat between trips. Actually we
spend less than half the time at home that
we used to. I am referring to those few
hours between work and sleep when we
live with our families and friends—where
we recreate—when we should enjoy an
evening's leisure surrounded by the beauty
and comfort of our homes. Lately we
haven't had much time for this sort of
thing; too busy to stop and think. Much
activity with questionable progress. Some
students insist that the American mind
and the American home are going to pieces
in this hectic age. Perhaps they are right.
I do not know.
"It is certain that , as we have come to
spend less time in our homes we have spent
less time and less money in developing
them and making them attractive. We
spend every year $17 per capita for gasoline
and only $16 for furniture. At the end of
the year the gasoline is gone.
"As the situation has become more
serious—as congestion on highways has
begun to rob motoring of its Tun—nature
seems to have taken a hand in the matter.
Radio developed and as the automobile
took us away from our homes the radio is
bringing us back. Good music, education ,
the world's greatest speakers entertain-ment
par excellence in infinite variety,
waiting your command in the cabinet
below the loud speaker, are competing
successfully with the movies and the
boulevards. We are beginning to stay
home again and a few quiet evening's with
goxxl music is assuring millions of Ameri-cans
tha t they have been missing some-thing
that is very much worth while.
"Radio with its magic is working a so-cial
revolution. The home is growing
once more and as we value it more highly
and spend more time and thought on it the
America n home promises to become an
even finer and more beautiful institution
than it, has been in times past when we
have been proud as a home-loving nation."

Stroudsbur g High
School Organize a
Phi Beta Hershi
The students of Stroudsburg High
School know the nutritious value of
Hershey's Sweet Milk Chocolate, and eat
at least one cake a day. They have origi-nated
a unique plan, and the following
letter explains it in full, as follows:
Hershey Chocolate Company,
Hershey, Penha. ¦ o
Dear Sir:
During the past few months we have
originated a fraternity in our class. Senior,
which we call the "Phi Beta Hershi." Each
day each one of the members brings
chocolate bars for each other member.
We find this to be quite a thing and works
wonders among our "brethren." The
organization is strong and is running along
on a smooth track.
The constitution was written by a
member of the fraternity and censored by
the principal of the school who thought it
was quite original. We think this should
be of interest to you for an advertisement
or if not, amusement.
. If you appreciate our interest in your
establishment, kindly write us the effect
it had on you. Our school magazine will
be glad to write you up. We hope this
letter will find your chocolate factory
"stirring" (chocolate). ,
Your fraternally,] \
AMZIE B. DREHER
PREAMBLE
We, the Phi Beta Hershi, in order to
smuggle more candy in our High School
to receive more bodily nourishment (more
sustaining than meat) and to keep a con-tinual
uproar among the teachers do ordain
and establish this constitution for the Phi
Beta Hershi.
CONSTITUTION ~ V 1. We hereby state that each memb^er
one day a week shall bring to High School
at 1.15 p. m. five (5) bars of Hershey's
Sweet Milk Chocolate, for which they
shall pay the sum of five cents (5c) per bar.
2. In case the member who is supposed
to bring the aforesaid Hershey's Sweet
Milk Chocolate Bar is absent from school
he shall bring them the next day he attends
school. Also let it be known that this
shall not break the rotation. (On such
days we shall have two (2) bars per person).
3. In case of the absence of any other
of the members the extra bar or bars shall
be equally divided among the several
members present.
4. Let it be known that if the com-missioned
person to bring the aforesaid
Hershey's Sweet Milk Chocolate Bars, or
the person in Clause 2 of this Constitution,
should forget them, he must either go back
after them or the next day bring Hershey's
Sweet Milk Chocolate bars for which he
must pay ten cents (10c) per bar.

I he Planing Mill added anotlier to their
string of victories on Friday evening by
defeating the Men's Club by the score of
58 to 36. The Men 's Club team put up a
stiff fight but were greatly handicapped by
the loss of players cither thru illness or
playing away with the High School or

shooting and equally good passing, long
shots by both teams featuring.
In the second game of the evening the
