"North of 36" a True
Screenplay of
Pioneer Days
"North of 36," by Emerson Hough,
depicting 'all the thrills and harcships oi
pioneer days on the Texas cattle ranges,
will be shown at the Hershey Central
Theatre on Saturday evening, April 25th,
at 6.30 and 8.30, has been fihied for
Paramount by Irvin Willat, who iiade the
natural-color picture, "Wanderer of the
Wasteland" and other classics.
"North of 36" is a tale of the Texas
cattle trail, picturing a country wild,
almost lawless, at the period of tie story,
roughened and disheartened by the recent
Civil War.
Lois Wilson, asTaisieLockhart, manager
of her own vast ranch in Texas, ftids her-self
penniless, with no means of disposing
of her herds, her chief asset being the true
spirit of the pioneers.
Word comes that way up "north of 36",
a market beckons. With her 4,530 cows,
16 cow hands, 19 kinds of rifles and six
shooters and 115 cow ponies, Taisie makes
the start with all the thrills that the start
of the wagon train in Emerson Hough's
' "The Covered Wagon'' evolved.
Through this great panorama one sees
groups of ragged sinewy men, the glorious
girl at their head, the oxcarts and the sea
of long horned cattle, accomplishing one of
the greatest deeds of pioneer bravery and
daring.
Paramount has furnished a notable cast
to visualize the story. It includes Jack
Holt, Ernest Torrence, Lois Wilson and
Noah Beery ,n featured roles.

Bridge OverKeadin g-
Tracks To Be
Rebuilt This Year
The construction of a new bridge at this
place, carrying a Derry Township road
wer the tracks of the Reading Company,
was directed last week by the Public
Service Commission. The bridge is to
;ost $27,578.44 and this is allocated among
the county, the Reading Company, the
township and other parties at interest.
The bridge crosses the three main
tracks of the Reading and the commission
held the viaduct unsafe. The complaint
was made against the railway, the county,
the township, the Hershey Transit Com-pany,
the Hummelstown Gas and Fuel
Company and the State Highway Depart-ment.
The road crossing the bridge extends
from Elizabethtown to several highways
leading to the Jonestown road, the main
highway between Harrisburg and Potts-ville.
It intersects the William Penn
Highway at Hershey. The traffic over
the bridge is heavy, especially when
Hershey Park is open in the Summer.
The proposed bridge will have a twenty-six-
foot roadway with a six-foot sidewalk
on each side. Some property will have to
be taken. This belongs to the Hershey
Chocolate Co., but the Company has
waived all rights it may have for damages.
The Reading Company is ordered by
the commission to furnish all materials and
do the work necessary to reconstruction
and it will be reimbursed as follows, ac-cording
to the commission's allocation of
the costs:
Derry Township, $4596; County of
Dauphin, $6690; Hershey Transit Com-pany,
$6860, in addition to removing and
replacing its facilities; Hummelstown Gas
& Fuel Company, relocate its own facilities;
Hershey Electric Company, provide for its
own facilities.
The present bridge will be continued in
use until September 8 and until that time
vehicles using it shall be limited to a maxi-mum
weight of four tons. The improve-ments
ordered must be completed by
December 1, according to plans already
approved.

Basketball Season
The Hershey Industrial School basket-ball
team finished one of the best seasons
they ever had in basketball, winning 12
out of 16 games played. E. Aucker was
the highest two-|»int getter with 54 goals
and It. Able a close second with 49. These
boys deserve much credit for the excellent
showing made on the basketball court this
season as they are greatly handicapped by
a very small gym floor and a limited time
given to sports. The individual scores

No-Foul Game
Was Some Battle
The no-foul basketball game which was
scheduled for Kriday evening at the Her-shey
Men 's Club came up to all holies and
expectations and with thrills and rough
house galore. About twenty-two Indus-trial
League players gathered on the door
and sides wca* chosen by the two biggest
men in the league, namely, Paul /ent-meyur
and Paul Scblepfer. In many
respects it resembled much more of a foot-ball
game as the player would carry the
ball down the llcxir under bis arm with
ladders awaitin g him on both sides and
seldom If ever would lie make the distance
with out being dropped numerous times.
The game was played in fifleen-mliuite
quarters and tennis were changed so not as
t o slow up the game or endurance of the
hurd-fi ghling players. The game ended
C2 to 1)8 with Schfepfer 's side winning. It
was n close match thr oughout , but never,
though they often tied the score, did
Zeiitmeyei 's team get the lead. The
injuries were numerous running from
broken noses to Mack and blue marks and
scratches. Though the game was rough
not one ward was heard from any of the
players, as everythin g was legal, nothin g
barred.

Phil. Fisher s
Orchestra
Appeals as Usual
Phil. Fisher and His Orchestra played an
engagement at the Hershey Central
Theatre on Saturday evening.
The program was varied and interesting
from the opening number to the final.
The teamwork of the orchestra was
splendid, just what the teamwork of an
orchestra should be, for into it Phil.
Fisher infused his own enthusiasm, and it
carried an entranced audience on the
waves of syncopated melody which is
known by the modern term "jazz ."
The popular one-step and fox trots were
played with a verve and finish that only an
orchestra such as Phil. Fisher's could give
them. The audience could not keep their
feet still, and this perhaps was as fine a
tribute as the spontaneous applause at the
end of each number.
The members of the orchestra are as
follows:
Phil. Fisher and John Fisher, trumpets;
Frank Colangelo, trombone; Roy Deets,
banjo; Carl Pickle, pianist ; Clarence
Mays, drums; Victor DeAngelis, accordian;
Arthur Matterazzi, clarinet and saxa-phone
; Russ Rhinehart, saxaphone ; and
last , but not least, James DeAngelis, the
"wizard saxaphonist."

Thy smile is like the fairy touch of gold

My love is like a swarm of bees that
swarmed them in July,
My love is like a little child that tried to
walk too'soon,
My heart is all a-flutter like a fluttered
butterfly,
My hope goes soaring skyward like a can
tied to the moon.
Author's note: In regard to the first line
of the second werse, let us quote you the
old saying about bees,
"A swarm of bees in May.
Is worth a ton of hay,
A swarm of bees in June
Is worth a silver spoon.
A swarm of bees in July
Isn't worth a fly."
Some Description
The kind of a guy who thinks the Golf
of Mexico is played the same as the vener-able
game that originated among the
kilted Scots, and who thinks that "fore" is
one more than three.
The kind of a guy who would hock his
overcoat in December to make the first
payment on a refrigerator.
The kind of a guy whom we are ac-customed
always to get a smile from, the
fellow to whom we say, "Who's dead?" if
we happen to catch a sober expression on
his face.
The kind of a day Noah picked out
when he tested out his new ark.
The kind of a preacher who guarantees
to preach you into Heaven and who
guarantees a return ticket in case you can't
get along with your neighbors up there.
The recent wet weather has not been
agreeing with the Man with the Wooden
Leg, and he has been attacked by a bad
case of rheumatism in his off hind leg, and
by a general feeling of pessimism and dis-couragement.
"Say," he said the other day to the Man
with the Cedar Chest, "Do you know that
the sun is rapidly cooling off and that in a
few years we will have to buy coal all
summer?"
"Oh," said the Man with the Cedar
Chest, easily, "by the time that happens,
Gifford Pinchot will have all of the rivers
of the world harnessed, and our houses
will all be heated by electricity."
"But," persisted the Man with the
Wooden Leg," what would you say if I
were to tell you that in a short space of
time the rivers of our country will all dry
up?"
"H'm!" said the Man with the Cedar
Chest, "I would say, 'Go thou and do
likewise.'"
Eph. Soper, of Skunks Comers, got in
an awful argument with his wife the other
day. After she had reeled off the life
history of all his relations from Away
Back, she declared her intention of com-mitting
suicide. She went out and sat
down in the creek, which was about two
feet deep, yelling bloody murder all the
time.
Eph. wishing to be helpful in the hour of
need, gave her a few words of encourage-ment
and advice.
"Mariar ," he said, "if you wan't to
drown yourself , you will hafta get your
head under water, too."
"Tom didn 't blow his brains out as he
said he would when I rejected him the
other night," said one girl to another of the
crowd.
"Why he came right around and pro-posed
to me," said the other girl.
"Indeed!" said the first, "He must have
got rid of his brains some other way."

Spelling Bee To
Be Held On
Monda y Evening
The J. O. Y. Class of the Derry Presby-terian
Sunday School will hold a "Spelling
Bee" on Monday evening, April 27th, at
the Hershey Y. W. C. A.
Prof. A. M. Hinkel will be the spelling
master. There is a great deal of rivalry
among the expert spellers of this vicinity,
and this will be an opportunity to prove who
can "stand up" the longest, Lawrence
Galebaugh, the champion speller of Pal-myra
and Elizabethtown, and "Toby"
Sternberger, the champion of Perry County
will be in'line. Difficult words are easy
picking for these two spellers, and Prof.
Hinkel might have to go through several
dictionaries before either one of these men
will have gone down in defeat.
The public is cordially invited to be
present on Monday evening, April 27th ,
at 8.00 o'clock. The J. O. Y. Class is
hoping to pack the auditorium to its ut-most
capacity on that evening.
Besides the "Spelling Bee", candy, cakes
and punch will be on sale.
Prizes will be given to the best spellers.
Admission, 15 cents.
Trum p Home Just
Built Burns to
Ground Thursda y
Thirty State Highway patrolmen from
the Hershey barracks assisted the Hershey
fire department in extinguishing a fire
which last Thursday evening destroyed
the partially completed residence of H. E.
Trump, on West Caracas Avenue, Hershey,
and threatened two adjoining houses.
The fire was discovered at 4.50 o'clock
after it had gained much headway. Thirty
members of the highway patrol responded
to the alarm from their barracks, which is
under the Hershey Inn anftwfly a "few feet
away from the Trump property.
A hose reel kept by the Hershey Fire
Company at the rear of the Hershey Inn
was pulled to the fire by the highway
patrolmen, who quickly had a stream ol
water playing upon the burning building.
The truck of the Hershey Fire Company
was brought from the fire house at the
Hershey Garage.
The flames in the Trump house had
gained too great headway before dis-covered
to permit the saving of the build-ing,
which burned to the ground. Through
the combined efforts of the highway patrol-men
and the Hershey volunteer firemen the
two adjoining houses caught fire several
times but the flames were extinguished
before much damage resulted. The walls
of the two adjoining houses facing the
Trump residence were scorched. The
adjacent buildings were that of Raymond
Von Neida and Chas. Weiss.
It is believed the fire was caused by a
workman throwing a cigaret in a pile of
waste in the building just before he quit
work for the day. Painters and carpenters
had left the building shortly before the fire
was discovered.
The Trump residence would have been
completed within a few days. The in-terior
was being finished at the time of the
destruction of the building.
The residence was covered by insurance.

a marvelous opportunity for the display of
her dramatic ability.

Paramount for a featured role with her in
"The Garden of Weeds." He is featured
with Rockcliffe Fellowes, Charles Ogle and
Al St. John, all sterling actors chosen for

Tashman, who was the hit of the New York
stage play from which the photoplay was

and Toyo Fujita, who was with Sessue
Hayakawa for many years.

love drama which brings aduiences "back
stage" at the theatre.

Game Xo Lebanon
Valley Saturday
The Hershey baseball team traveled to
Annville on Saturday afternoon where they
met the Lebanon Valley College team in a
practice game. Although this was the
first full game played by the local team
they played in mid-season form with the
exception of several spots and gave the
college boys a hard tussle losing by the
close score of 4 to 3. Manager Ream and
Coach Mylin were busy looking over their
material with the result that all the players
were given a chance in the box score. For
an early game Hershey displayed excellent
form executing two snappy double plays.
Miller led for Hershey at the bat with a
double and two singles. Manager Ream
tried out three differen t batteries; Storm
and Zimmerman, Long and Zoll and
Stover and Sholley. Gingrich , who held
down right field on the Hershey team last
season has reported for practice. "Mass"
had received several flattering offers to
play ball away for this season but finally
decided to do his stuff with the local team
this year.

InptlreTinrDarart:
B. Sunda y School
Totals $5600
A big boost was given the building fund
of the First United Brethren Church, of
this place, on Sunday when the Sunday
School announced that the results of their
ingathering for the past year had amounted,
to $5600.
This result was greater than was antici-pated
and was good news to the building
committee, who are leaving no stone un-turned
in order to begin building opera-tions
some time this year on the contem-plated
church edifice.
The new church will be erected on a
choice and desirable plot of ground located
on West Chocolate Avenue, on the south
side, directly opposite the former S. D.
Clark property.
It is planned to construct the building
of stone, and will cost approximately
$75,000.
The United Brethren congregation,
whose pastor is Rev. A. G. Nye, is a grow-ing
and progressive denomination, and the
enlarged church home on the main thoro-fare
in the heart of the town will stand it in
good stead in its future development and
growth.
