              Help Hershey To Go
Over The Top
The annual Red Cross Roll Call and
Community Fund campaign will.be held in
Hershey April 28to May 5, of which Mr. J.
E. Snyder is the chairman. The ladies of
Hershey Red Cross will be stationed at
booths at the postofficej bank and store
and every person, men and women, should
feel-it a privilege to enroll in this worthy
cause. .
The. Red Cross, which has become "The
Greatest Mother in the World", had its
beginning in Geneva, Switzerland. Henri
Durant was traveling in" Italy years ago
and happened to be near the place where
the battle of Solferino was fought in 1859.
He was so touched by the sufferings of the
wounded that he stopped to help care for
them in the hospitals: The sights he saw
there was horrible. The wounded men
died by the hundreds because there were
not enough nurses and surgeons and food.
He wrote a book about the awful sufferings
he saw; it was translated into several
languages and people of many countries
became interested and were aroused to a
desire to do something to relieve the deadly
consequences of war.
The result was that representatives of
sixteen of the great powers of Europe met
at Geneva in 1863 and there organized the
first Society of the Red Cross. In honor of
Switzerland, they adopted as their emblem
the colors of the Swiss flag, but the colors
were reversed. The national flag of Switz-erland
is a white cross on a red field; the
emblem of the organization that brings
relief to suffering in war or peace is a red
cross on a white field. Those sixteen
nations signed a treaty that wherever that
emblem was seen, on sea or on land, it
should mean peace and safety for the
wounded soldiers. No nurse, surgeon, or
ambulance bearing the Red Cross can be
fired on.
Although the idea that something
ought to be done" originated in the mind
and heart of one man, Henri Durant, and
the book that he wrote was the exciting
cause that brought the principal nations of
Europe in conference, at Geneva, yet when
the Red Cross Society was born it sprang
forth full grown and fully armed, and at
one became international in its scope.
Organized primarily to alleviate the
horrors of war, its mission was extended to
embrace relief measures for every calamity,
in peace as well as war. Other nations
united until now there are forty-three
different countries in the Red Cross
Society, its members number in the
millions, and its provisions have come to be
recognized as international law.
The American Red Cross Society was
not organized until 1881. It was brought
about by the untiring zeal and efforts of
Clara Barton, who had been a nurse during
the Civil War, had witnessed some of the
horrible suffering of wounded soldiers, and
later had traveled in Europe and learned
there what other countries were doing to
help lessen some of that suffering. The
nations of Europe were so glad the United
States had joined the Red Cross Society,
that when Miss Barton cabled the news to
them the people lit bonfires in the streets of
Switzerland, France, Germany and Spain.
The very next;Spring gave the American
Red Cross an opportunity to prove its
mettle, and to show the American people
what its work really meant. The news of
"Half the State of Michigan on Fire" was
flashed over the country. Help and sup-plies
were sent at once, a society or two
formed to forward them, and, although
nearly every one was inexperienced just
then, every one put his shoulder to the
wheel and pushed,
on to their feet again."
And so the Red Cross found an abiding
place in the hearts of the American people,
and it grew and it grew. Scarcely a ham-let
now but belongs to some auxiliary or
branch.
The Harrisburg Chapter of the Red
Cross had been doing a noble work before
the World War in relieving suffering in
local disasters, such as fires, floods, etc.
But the horrors of that fearful time brought
them to their feet in a more active organi-zation
and the Harrisburg Chapter as we
know it today, was organized April, 1917,
with Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert as chairman.
Its district embraced all of Dauphin Coun-ty,
Perry County, and the West Shore
towns. During the war, the work was
done through five different departments:
the canteen, the home service, the motor
corps, the nursing bureau and the produc-tion
department.
They still take care of the soldier boys
and work hand in hand with the Veterans'
Bureau; they are In fact the social agency
of the Government, and take care of a
soldier's family, If he is in the hospital,
provide food, clothing, raiment if they are
needed. They are quick to respond to
every call for help and are in very truth a
vital part of the ''Greatest Mother on the
Earth."
Let all of us reaffirm our allegiance to
practical humanitarianism and to symbo-lize
the regeneration of our better thoughts
and re-enlist In a great army mobilized for
the common good.
The Reformed Mennonitcs will hold
Communion services on Sunday morning,

As a result of an intensive campaign on
eoy beans and alfalfa conducted under the
direction of the Dauphin County Agricul-tural
Extension Association, between 60
and 70 acres of soy bcand and alfalfa will
be planted this spring in the West Hanover
Community.
Those who will plant soy beans and
alfalfa are: C. S. Heatwale, Harrisburg, R.
D. 4; Mark Hetrlck, Ralph Hetrick, John
I. Llngle and R. D. Stetler, all of Llngles-town,
R. D. 1. and Christ S. Seaman and
B. E. Hetrick, both of GrantvlHe. Several
other farmers in the West Hanover Com-munity
also are planning to put a large
acreage into eoy beans and alfalfa.
Last spring Mark Hetrick and John I.
Lingle Bowed alfalfa with aote and the
crops .have wintered exceptionally well
during the open winter. A recent tour on
the farm of John Shcnlt, Llnglestown, R.
D. 1, by County Agent R. R. Burtner
showed that alfalfa planted last fall with'
wheat has been little effected by frost.

Compensation Checks
Bring Gladness
Additional compensation checks were
paid on Saturday to the officers and em-ployees
of the Hershey Chocolate Com-pany
and its constituent companies cover-ing
the first quarterly period of 1924, the
checks amounting a trifle more than Wtyi%
of the amounts paid them as salary or
wages during the period for which the pay-ment
was made.
The constituent companies of the Herr
shey Chocolate Company are as follows:
Hershey Corporation, Hershey Chocolate
Company of New York, Inc., F. E. Quids
Company, Inc., Lebanon Creamery Com-pany,
Hershey Transit Company, Hershey
Water Company, Hershey Electric Com-pany,
Hershey Department Store, Her-shey-
Cuban Railway, Compania Agraria
Cubana, Compania Central San Juan
Bantista and Rosaria Sugar Company.
These additional compensation checks
are made out after the determination of
the consolidated net income of the com-pany
and its constituent companies ac-cording
to the usual methods of accounting
and after the deduction of all interest and
taxes paid or accrued, maintenance and
repairs, further deduction for interest on
bonds and preferred stock, 35% of the
profits being paid to the officers and em-ployees
as additional compensation.
Payments are made quarterly, as early
as can be made after the end of such quar-terly
period to those in the employ of the
company and its constituent companies on
the last day of each quarterly period, who
were in its employ on the first day thereof,
and were continuously in its employ during
the whole of the quarterly period.
It is needless to say that the additional
compensation checks were most agreeable
Easter gifts from Mr. M. S. Hershey, for
it is only through the graciousness and
benevolence of the Founder that this plan
was put into effect. The salaries and
wages paid by the Hershey Chocolate
Company and its constituent companies
are as high and in many instances higher
than the prevailing salaries and wages paid
in Central Pennsylvania, and this is all the
more reason why we should be all the more
grateful when double pay day comes
around.
The results of the additional compensa-tion
plan have proven most efficacious to
the Company, having to a great extent
cut down considerable waste, lost motion,
lost endeavor and speeded up production.
This was the object of the plan or else there
would have been no additional compensa-tion
checks.
Altho 99 per cent, of the employes were
highly pleased at the large percentage of
their additional compensation checks,
there were, however, a small number who
had looked for a larger amount. As a rule,
these are the ones who do the least work,
are the most inefficient, talk the most, and
are the greatest fault-finders.
Even tho the plan is in effect for the
year 1924, there is no assurance what the
plan will be for other years. That depends
upon each one of us, just how efficient we
can be. Some of us think we have reached
our highest point of efficiency, but this is
foolish—we have a long way to go before
we are 90% efficient. So let us one and all
strive to reach this point, and further, and
in this way help to make more secure our
leadership in the chocolate industry and
also our additional compensation checks.
This not only applies to the employes in
the chocolate factory, but those employed
in the offices of the Company and likewise
of its constituent companies.

HEALTH DAY AT SCHOOL ON MAY 1
Farmers To Test
Value of Cocoa Hulls
The value of cocoa shells as a fertilizer
has been demonstrated by the Hershey
Chocolate Co., having used them on their
farms for a number of years, but its value
for the growing of potatoes will be
determined this year by several Dauphin
County farmers.
The first experiment was started' last
week at the farm of Cyrus Hitzes, with the
assistance of County Agent R. R. Burthen
Later similar'tests will be conducted at the
farms of Christ Balsbaugh and R. J. Wal-ton,
of Hummelstown, and Clayton Ging-rich,
of Hershey.
Three plots have been laid out at the
Hitzes' farm. On the first plot 2000 pounds
of hulls have been broadcasted with a lime
drill and disced in thoroughly. Half of the
plot has been treated with 16 per cent, acid
phosphate at the rate of 750 pounds per
acre and the other half of the plot has not
been fertilized.
Four thousand pounds of hulls have been
broadcasted on the second plot by the
same process and half of the plot has been
treated with acid phosphate and half left
unfertilized. On the third plot no hulls
have been used, but half the plot has been
given the acid phosphate treatment and
the other half left unfertilized.
Cocoa hulls have been used on the Her-shey
farms as fertilizer for corn, wheat and
grass, the proportions being approximately
300 pounds of hulls to 150 pounds of phos-phate,
with excellent results. The cocoa
hulls are discarded at the Chocolate factory
and used for this purpose only.
To its employes the Company gives the
hulls free for use on their garden plots.
Observe May 1st As
Child Health Day
Governor Pinchot has given hia approval
to the plan to celebrate Child Health Day,
on May 1, the traditional May Day, and
who has issued the following statement:
"A new kind of May Day will be cele-brated
in Pennsylvania this year. The
traditional festivals about May poles will
have their place in the general celebration
but in addition we will endeavor to temper
the gaiety with a bit of horse sense by
teaching the secrets of health to parents
and children alike.
"May 1 in Pennsylvania will be dedi-cated
to the child health program. Every-where
in the State, local committees will
take charge of celebrations and bring home
lessons in health protection and life preser-vation
by presenting interesting demon-strations.
For years May Day has been
hailed as the harbinger of a new Spring.
In Pennsylvania, we shall acclaim May 1,
1924, as the beginning of a new era in child
health work.
"We have outlined a State-wide May
Day program that will reach into every
nook and corner of the State. If , by so
doing, we are able to save the life of one
youngster who otherwise would have suc-cumbed
to childhood diseases, we shall feel
more than repaid.
"America now stands sixth among
nations in its child death rate. It ranks
seventeenth in its maternal death rate at
child birth. We must not rest in our efforts
to save life until we have reduced all death
rates to the point where they can go no
lower.
"May Day will witness the opening of
this death reduction campaign."
The thirty-third annual session of the
Mt. Gretna United Brethren campmeetlng
and Bible Conference, will be held on Aug.
5 to 14. The program as arranged for this
year is a strong one and includes the follow-ing
noted Bible instructors: Rev, C. L.
Goodell, D. D., df New York City; Rev.
A. T. Robertson, D. D., of Louisville, Ky.;
Bishop H. H. Fout, D. D„ of Indianapolis,

"The Green Goddess'
An Epic of Photo Plays
An outstanding event of the dramatic
season, in the strictest sense of the term, is
the coming of the screen version of "The
Green Goddess," starring George Arliss, to
the Hershey Central Theater on Saturday
evening, April 26th.
'The Green Goddess" is hailed as the
greatest art achievement of the screen to
date. For sheer compelling melodrama
superbly acted, and magnificently set, it is
said that nothing has ever been done to
approach this production.
The leading feminine role opposite Mr.
Arliss is played by none other than Alice
Joyce, that gorgeously beautiful young
lady who, after her recent marriage to one
of New York's wealthiest young men,
swore the screen would never see her again.
The lure of a part with such possibilities as
the young Englishwoman in "The Green
Goddess" was too great and Miss Joyce
was persuaded to return to the screen.
In addition to Mr. Arliss and Miss Joyce
the cast includes the handsome David
Powell, who has made love in a cinema
way to more famous young women than
any other actor of the day, and Harry T.
Morey, the screen's best bad man.
. Ivan Simpson, a member of the original
stage cast, is also in the film version as is
the highly interesting and alluring French
actress, Jetta Goudal. William Worthing-ton
takes the part of the high priest.
Clark Robinson, art director, according
to all reviews and advices, has done the
work of his career in the settings of "The
Green Goddess." At one time more than
100,000 square feet of sets were in working
order in the Distinctive studios in New
York and on the adjoining lots,. An entire
Himalayan hillside street, two city blocks
in length, was erected for the mob scenes.
A rock cliff 125 feet high was built as a
background for the airplane crash. The
Interiors of the Rajah's palace are said to
be magnificant. Priceless hangings and
ornaments from India were loaned to
Distinctive for this production by the
Brooklyn Museum of Art. With the
exception of a few scenes in the Himalaya
Mountains for which a photographer was
sent to India, every scene in The Green
Goddess" was taken within the confines of
the City of New York.
Roshanara, famous interpreter of East
Indian dances, supervised the Indian detail
and Oriental atmosphere of the picture.
Although the palace of the Rajah was in
a mountain fastness, he was not unex-pectant
of feminine visitors for he kept a
supply of the latest Parisian modes on
hand. Therefore, when the young Eng-lishwoman,
whom nn airplane wreck had
thrown upon his hospitality, expressed a
regret that she had nothing to wear but her
aviation costume, he was able to place the
wardrobe at her service, thus allowing
Miss Alice Joyce in the portrayal of that
part, to display some highly attractive
gowns,
CHARLES BUCK JONES IN "THE'
VAGABOND TRAIL"
On Tuesday evening, April 29th, Chas.
Buck Jones, instead of Tom Mix, will be
the attraction, in "The Vagabond Trail."
An added attraction will be the comedy
reel, "The; Riding Master."
"BRAILLE" CLASS ORGANIZED
Tho Hershey Red Cross has organized a
"Braille" class, mceting each week at the
homo of Mrs. Rosa Esbenshade, The
class is taught by a Harrisburg instructor,
and the Indies have become quite proficient
"Barille" is an alphabet in which charac-ters
are formed by an arrangement of dots.
It supplies a complete mode of expression
for words, music and mathematics. Louis
Braille, its originator, was therefore one of the greatest benefactors of the blind, His
alphabet prevails in moat countries.

does U tent to Institution* (or the blind.
Amos Jay Hershey, entertainer, who has
"The Power to Make Others Happy", will
appear in the Hershey Central Theatre
this evening, April 24th, under the auspices
of the Men's Bible Class of the First U. B.
Sunday School. General admission 25c
and reserved seats 35c.
The Apostle of Good Cheer is a title that
has been bestowed many times upon Amos
Jay Hershey. Whether in his readings,
monologs, pantomime, impersonations,
character sketches or pianologs, he always
reflects a merry heart. Even in his dra-matic
scenes and bits of pathos you will
always find the smile behind the tear, j
Most readers and entertainers are alike,
but Amos Jay Hershey is different. There
is individuality and spontaniety to his
work. His programs are so refreshingly
different ; they have a piquancy and zest to
them that is highly diverting. There is an
ever-changing succession of entertainment,
and throughout his program there radiates
the spirit of happiness and joy. "A merry
heart dbeth good like a medicine." He
sends his audiences away happier, braver
and better. Rev. Sunday says: "Mr.
Hershey leaves his audience with happy
thoughts and a good taste in the mouth.
Mr. Hershey is a past master of the art
of getting close to his audience. When he
smiles everyone smiles and settles down for
an evening of real enjoyment. His genial
personality and frank, unaffected manner
wins the confidence from the start; and he
holds it to the finish because he is a natural
entertainer and his powers are innate.'
