              Hershey Defeats
Battery "H" Boys
At Lebanon
Staging one of the best and hardest
fought games seen on the West Lebanon
gridiron this season, Hershey's aggressive
football eleven triumphed over Battery
"H", of Lebanon, on Sunday afternoon by
the score of 12 to 6.
With ideal football weather prevailing
both teams played a hard but clean game
and had the throng keyed up every minute
by their spectacular playing. To Ted
Leib, the local speedy end, goes the in-dividual
honors of the day. Twice this
fleet Hershey wingman snared enemy
forward , raced 50 and 40 yards to the goal
posts with the coveted oval. Battery "H"
had several chttices to fcore during the
first and second half, but lacked the neces-sary
punch to carry the ball across the goal
line. In the second quarter, after a steady
march down the field, the soldier boys lost
the ball on downs on the eight-yard line.
Later in the same period they carried the
ball down to the 12-yard line but the
Hershey line braced and again took the
ball on downs. The Chocolate boys
could not gain thru the strong soldier
defence only registering one first down
while the Lebanon aggregation scored nine
tliru the line and five on forward passes in
the latter minutes of the fray . In the last
few minutes of the game, Battery "H"
with a grim determination worked the ball
down the field on forward passes and end
runs sending Auchenbach accross the line
for their lone six points.
The same two teams played to a 12-12
deadlock earlier in the season and both
teams were out to win Sunday 's game.
Lebanon with a string of victories to their
credit had not yet tasted defeat and found
it a bitter pill to swallow, especially as they
are scheduled to play a soldier outfit from
the Western part of the state for the State
National Guard championship. With the
whole Hershey team playing their usual
hard game, the work of Wiley, Speece,
Purcell , Sorok and Schlepfer stood out
prominently. The line-up:

Continuous Pictures
At Central Theatre
The moving picture patrons of the Her-shey
Central Theatre are highly elated
that the management has installed an
additional machine, which results in a
continuous performance. This is a step
forward , ami has already brought about an
increased patronage.
The pictures shown this season have
been of a very high calibre and the releases
are right up to the minute. In fact , we
have noted that Hershey has shown a
large number of films even before Ix'bnnon,
Harrisburg or I-ancaster, For-Instance,
in Lancaster "It's the I-aw" Is being s|iown
tills week In one of the large picture houses,
while IIershey had this two weeks ago.
Another good effect of a continuous reel
will be that of order , which will eliminate
the objectionable tactics between the
changes of films that has been permitted
for several seasons. Young America will
from now on have Its mind engaged watch-ing
the silver sheet.
Another big improvement was the plac-ing
of the screen further back In the stage,
resulting In belter pictures with less eye
strain.
The next step should be that of better
ventilation. Tills is all the more import-ant
with the resultant larger audiences.
This can be brought about by the use of a
little gray matter.
RICHARD ZEIGLER DOING NICELY
Richard Zeigler, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles F. Zeigler, underwent an oiH-'iation

Miss Lillian Landgraf
Becomes Bride Of
Frank Conrad Harvey
A wedding of much local interest was
solemnized in Holy Trinity Lutheran
Church at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon,
when Miss Lillian Arnet Landgraf , daugh-ter
of George A. Landgraf, of 123 Guilford
street, Lebanon, became the bride of Frank
Conrad Harvey, son of , Mr. ,and Mrs.
William F. Harvey, of Johnstown, formerly
¦of this place. ' . • ¦. -> . •' The wedding took place at Hershey
because of the fact that the church with
which the bride is affiliated in Lebanon was
not available for the purpose'at this time,
but its pastor, the Rev. Charles E. Keim,
was present to perform the ceremony. The
nuptials were solemnized amid beautiful
decorations of flowers, palms, etc., and the
ring was used.
Miss Helen Landgraf , a sister of the
bride, was maid of honor, and Miss Esther
Landgraf, another sister, and Miss Wini-fred
Harvey, a sister of the bridegroom,
were the bridesmaids. Theodore Grosh,
of Lancaster, officiated as best man, and
several out-of-town friends of the bride-groom
performed the functions of ushers. .
Mrs. Daniel Graeff, the church organist,
presided at the pipe organ and Noah
Klauss, of Harrisburg, played the violin,
during a recital which was presented as the
guests were gathering.
The Lohengrin wedding march was
played when the bridal party entered the
church and proceeded to the altar, and
"Salute D'Amour" was the selection
which was wafted softly from the organ as
the ceremony was in progress. As a re-cessional
Mendelssohn's wedding march
was played.
The bride wore a gown of white satin
crepe, with a veil, caught in the hair with
orange blossoms. She carried a shower
bouquet of bridal roses and lillies of the
valley.
The maid of honor and bridesmaids
carried huge bouquets of yellow crysanthe-mums.
A large number of guests from Lebanon,
Harrisburg and this place and other places
were present to witness the ceremony.
Following the ceremony an informal
reception and luncheon took place at the
Hershey Tea House, with only the im-mediate
families as guests. Later the
happy couple left on a motoring honey-moon
tour which will include visits to the
larger cities in the Middle West. They
will be at home at Harrisburg some time
after December 1. >
The bride is widely known in Lebanon
and is-popular in local social circles. She
was employed for some time past in the
office of the Hershey Laundry. Hosts of
friends extend best wishes.
The bridegroom is a popular young man
of Harrisburg, and is at present employed
as teller in the Allison Hill Trust Company
bank where he was employed for a term of
years. A large group of friends extend
their felicitations in his marriage venture.
The popularity of the couple was at-tested
in a large array of gifts present to
the bride.
Dauphin County
Poultrymen To
Tour New York
Many Dauphin County poultrymen are
expected to avail themselves of the oppor-tunity
to take part in the poultry and egg
inspection tour of the New York markets,
Nov. 24 and 25, which has been planned in
the interest of Pennsylvanias interest in
marketing their poultry products. Those
who plan to make the trip should get in
touch with County Agent R. R. Burtner at
Harrisburg. Witnessing the "journey of
the egg" from the time they ' leave the
express cars until they reach consumers
will give valuable first-hand information.
While in New York , the poultrymen will
visit the large exchange, the new Roosevelt
Hotel and the "Berengaria ," one of the
largest ships afloat.
Pointing out the importance of water in
dairy cows' rations, County Agent R. R.
Burtner is urging dairymen to have plenty
of water of the proper attention available.
A statement issued by R. II. Olmstead,
dairy specialist of State College, says that
milk is about 87 per cent, water and em-phasizes
that cows giving milk need a large
supply of water. Exiwriments show that
cows forced to go a distance for water
produce less milk than those having water
readily available. Individual drinking
cups soon pay for themselves because of
increased production of milk whieh .follows
their use.
Many Dauphin County poultrymen are
interested in getting the best prices for
their birds on the holiday markets. Poul-try
specialists at State College are keeping
back no secrets on the best way of pre-paring
gobblers, roosters and young cock-erels
for the city cousins' Thanksgiving
and Chrlslman dinners. Complete nets of
instructions for fattening birds are avail-able
to local farmers at the Dauphin
County Agricultura l Extension Associa-tion
, Yoffce Building, Harrisburg.
"Select some of your best apples for the
192!) State Farm Products Show at Harris-burg,
January 1!) to 2',)," urges County
Agent , R. R. Burtner. Laying aside a
sufficient quantity of each variety to allow
a second selection when the plate is made
up or the box or bushel is packed for the
exposition Is the best method of selection ,
he says. There will' |)e twelve classes for
apples at the big show.

Peter The Great"
Is Story Of Russia's
Greatest Man
1
"Peter the Great" is the Russian "Birth
of a Nation," which will be seen at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday
evening, (tonight).
It is the story of a great nation 's rise
through bloody battle and raw courage,
under the leadership of one of the world's
greatest and bravest men, from the ig-nominious
position as cat's paw for little
nations to the glorious position as world-power.
Though the picture has an historical
background , being the story of Russia 's
rise under Peter, the shipyard laborer who
became a king, the main theme concerns
the flaming romance of the Czar with the
pretty daughter of the regiment, Catherine.
Here are scenes of love-making and revel-ry,
of scandal and intrigue, which have
seldom been approached in any motion
picture before.
The spectator cannot help, it is said,
being swept away by the gusto and vivid-ness
with which the actors and actresses
play their roles. No bet ter proof of this
could be offered than the fact that practi-cally
every stage and screen star of promi-nence
in New York made lt.a point to see
this fine picture when it was shown in the
metropolis. Performance after perform-ance
at the famous Rivoli Theatre, where
the picture played three weeks, was filled
with celebrities in the acting field, who
were all enthusiastic over the exhibitions
given by Emil Jannings and Dagny Ser-vaes,
the celebrated continental beauty, in
the lending roles.
Many critics consider Emil Jannings the
foremost motion picture actor in the world,
the superior of any American player. He
was the star of "Passion ," "Deception "
and "Loves of Pharaoh"—in every one of
them a marvelous iierformer. "Peter the
Great" is the best performance Jannings
has yet offered.
The heroine of "Peter the Great " is
Dagny Servaes, famous ns the most beauti-ful
woman in Europe and Vienna 's leading
musica l comedy favorite.

many miles this season in winning their
seven victories. One hundred and eighty-six

"Hearts Of Oak" Is
Thrilling Story
Of Frozen North
In "Hearts of Oak," which comes to the
Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday
evening, Nov. 25th. William Fox has
created a motion picture version of one of
the greatest stage melodramas ever writ-ten.
Played for years with its author,
James A. Heme, in the leading role, this
stage play has been seen by millions all
over America in cities and towns of every
size. Its potent drama and heart interest,
according to critics, has been transferred
to the screen in a manner that will appeal
to picture goers just as the stage master-piece
did to two generations.
Hobart Bosworth, well known for his
characterizations of sea-faring men, plays
the leading role of Terry Dunnivan in the
screen version. Theodore Von Eltz plays
Ned Fairweather, his adopted son and
Pauline Starke is seen as Chrystal, the
adopted daughter of the mariner. Others
in the splendid supporting cast are James
Gordon, Francis Powers, Jennie Lee,
Frances Teague and Francis Ford. The
picture was directed by John Ford, who
has been credited with many Fox successes.
"Hearts of Oak" is a gripping, poignant
story of pure love and its heartaches,
written around the simple fisherfolk of a
New England coast town. The action
sweeps from Marblehead , Mass., to the
Arctic wastes and embraces all the romance
of the sea with the picturesque beauty ol
the coast country.

Thanksgiving Call
Issued By
President Coolidge
President Coolidge has issued a procla-mation
formally setting Thursday, Nov.
27, as Thanksgiving Day.
The proclamation follows :
"By the President of the United States
of America:
"A Proclamation:
"We approach that season qf the year
when it has been the custom for the Ameri-can
people- to give thanks •for the' good
fortune which the bounty of Providence,
through the generosity of nature, has
visited upon them. It is altogether a good
custom. It has the saction of antiquity
and the approbation of our religious con-victions.
In acknowledging the receipt of
divine favor, in contemplating the blessings
which have been bestowed upon us, we
shall reveal the spiritual strength of the
Nation.
"The year has been marked by a con-tinuation
of peace whereby our country
has entered into a relationship of better
understanding with all the other nations of
the earth. Ways have been revealed to us
by which we could perform very great
service through the giving of friendly
counsel, through the extension of financial
assistance and through the exercise of a
spirit of neighborly kindliness to less
favored peoples. We should give thanks
for the power which has been given into
our keeping, with which we have been able
to render these sewices to the rest of man-kind.
^ "At home we have continually had an
improving state of public health. The
production of our industries has been large
and our harvests have been bountiful . We
have been remarkably free from disorder
and remarkably successful in all those
pursuits which flourish during a state of
domestic peace. An abundant prosperity
has overspread the land. We shall do well
to accept all these favors and bounties
with a becoming humility and dedicate
them to the service of the righteous cause
of the Giver of all good and perfect gifts.
As the Nation has prospered let all the
people show that they are worthy to
prosper by rededicating America to the
service of God and man.
"Therefore , I, Calvin Coolidge, Presi-dent
of the United States of America,
hereby proclaim and fix Thursday, the
twenty-seventh day of November, as a day
for National Thanksgiving. I recommend
that the people gather in their places of
worship, and at the family altars, and offer
up their thanks for the goodness which has
been shown to them in such a multitude of
ways.
"Especially I urge them to supplicate
the throne of grace that they may gather
strength from their tribulations, that they
may gain humility from their victories,
that they may bear without complaining
the burdens that shall be placed upon
them, and that they may be increasingly
worthy in all ways of the blessings that
shall come to them.
"In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused to be affixed the
great seal of the United States.
"Done at the city of Washington, tnis
5th day of November, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
twenty-four and of the independence of
the United States the one hundred and
forty-ninth.

Dr. C. H. Gordinier^
Delivers Address
On Constitution
On Monday evening the Hershey Schools
held the first evening meeting in their
observance of American Education Week
and the High School assembly room was
filled to capacity.
Dr. C. H. Gordinier, Principal of the
Millersville Normal School, was the speak-er
of the evening, who was preceded with
the singing of three songs by the pupils of
the 7th Grade, led by Miss L'eaih Burns.
This singing was most meritorious, and in fact , it was amazing with what ease those
kiddies rendered these selections, which
were rather difficult ones, too. But.they
all had the assurance of metropolitan stars,
rendering each number with considerable
expression, and tonal quality. Miss Burns
deserves heaps of praise for the excellence
of her work.
Miss Treva Disc then rendered several
piano selections, which were most praise-worthy.
Community singing was the next num-ber
of the program, followed by a talk on
"The Constitution" by Dr. Gordinier,
which was delivered in a most interesting
and fluent manner.
The gist of Dr. Gordinier's talk was as
follows :
The English settlers in Virginia, Plym-outh,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the
other original colonies, many of them exiles
for conscience' sake, carried the English
principles of self-government to their new
homes, and elaborated and practised them
to an extent unknown in the mother coun-try.
In 1619 the first representative
chamber was established at Jamestown in
Virginia; and in 1639 the first modern
written constitution was adopted by the
townships of Connecticut, serving as a
model to the other twelve colonies. Its
distinctive principle was that all public
officials and members of both legislative
chambers were elective. Upon the forma-tion
of the State governments, which
supplanted the colonial governments after
1775, many new constitutions were adopt-ed.
The essential features of these con-sisted
of a bill of rights stating the powers
of the government created and the limita-tions
upon such powers, and a description
of the framework of the new government.
The first official draft of a plan for the
formation of the Federal Government was
submitted to the States for ratification in
1777, under the title 'Articles of Confedera-tion.'
The ratification of every State was
required to put the government into effect,
and in 1781 this had been secured. The
government thus established consisted of a
legislative department only. Practically
the sole powers of the government were
the carrying on of foreign relations'and the
determining of peace and war. The gov-ernment
proved to have insufficient power
even to enforce upon the States treaty
obligations with foreign governments.
In order to remedy these defects, Con-gress
recommended that the several States
send delegates to a Convention for the
purpose of revising the Articles of Con-federation
. This Convention met at
Philadelphia from May 29 to Sept. 17,
1787, and was attended by 55 delegates,
all the States except Rhode Island being
represented. The result of their four-months'
deliberations was the present
Constitution of the United States. Their
labors were approved by Congress, and the
new Constitution was ratified by eleven of
the thirteen States in 1788, by North
Carolina in 1789, and by Rhode Island in
1790.
The Constitution, as finally drafted ,
represented three great compromises: (1)
between a national party and a State
sovereignty party, by providing for a
much stronger Congress than the one
under the Articles of Confederation which
the Constitution replaced, and for a Fed-eral
executive and judiciary which had
not existed before—but reserving to the
States or to the people 'powers not dele-gated
to the United States. . nor pro-hibited
. . .to. the States' (Tenth Amend-ment)
; (2) between a large State party,
which wished legislative representation
based on population , and a small State
party, which organized slowly in the Con-vention
and repeatedly threatened to
brea k it up, and which wished all States to
have equal representation—by a bi-cameral
legislature, with a lower house in which
representation was based on population ,
and an upper house representing the
States as States; and (3) between the slave
States and the free, that for direct taxation
and for representation , only three-fifths of
the negroes should be counted , but that
fugitive slaves should be returned by one
State to another , and that the importation
of slaves should not be prohibited before
1H0H.
The sources of the Constitution lie in
British and American governmental ex-perience,
and the attempts to trace features
to Dutch , Swiss, or other foreign sources
are fanciful. Among the prominent lead-ers
in the Convention were: Washington ,
its presiding officer; the nationalizes,
Hamilton , Gouverneur Morris, who finally
drafted the measure, in its clear English ,
Wilson, King, and Madison; the State
sovereignty men, Lansing, Yates.Paterson,
Luther Martin , and Bedford ; those who
sympathized at first with the nationalizers
and then with the group last mentioned,
including Randolph , Mason, and Gerry;
and it few whose main objec t was concilia-tion
, notably Franklin , Sherman , the two
Pinckneys , and Ellsworth. The working
plan was that Introduced by the Virginia
delegates, drafted largely by Madison and
presented by Randolph; the New Jersey,
or small-State, plan was presented by
Paturson , and was a revision of the Articles
of Confederation; and the Connecticut
compromise, providing for the two system's
of representation in the two branches of
Congress, was largely due to Ellsworth.
