Christmas Seals, carrying the seasonal message, "A Merry Christmas and a Healthy New Year," are meeting every-where with a generous response from the people. In Hershey, the school children have sold upwards of 20,000 but the exact number sold has not yet been ascertained. It is anticipated however the sale here will approximate 30,000. Last year the splendid record of 24,449 Christmas seals was attained by the local schools. The school children , everywhere have been stimulated by the issuance of prizes, in the manner following : To each pupil selling 300 seals or more, a Loraine Cross Bangle Pin will be given. To individual schools selling 5000 to 10,000, a picture valued at $2.50 will be given; to schools selling 10,000, to 20,000, a $5.00 picture will be given ; and to schools selling up-wards of 20,000 seals a picture valued at $7.50 will be awarded. It is to be supposed that every citizen of Hershey has had the opportunity to buy a supply of these seals and it is to be supposed that everybody has accordingly bought. However, if^nybody.,.h.as,.beea( missed there is yet time to purchase a supply. Every letter and every package should now carry at least one of these little seals. Their cost is insignificant yet think of the enormous good that is being accomplished in the tremendous task of relieving all victims of the dreaded tuberculosis. For a trifle we can help give to these unfortunate victims the Christ-mas gift they so greatly need—adequate nursing service,- free.„ dispensaries, sana-toriums.

MICHIGAN POTATOES FOR DAU PHIN COUNTY The Dauphin County Farm Bureau has announced that two cars containing 800 bushels each of disease-free russet seed potatoes from Michigan, has been ordered by the co-operative farmers' clubs in this district. One car will go to Hummelstown and vicinity and the other will be located in Harrisburg for distri bution . The car at Hummelstown will be under the direc-tion of A. B. Shenk, chairman of the committee, and the car at Harrisburg will be in charge of E. B. Mitchell. It has been proved through test s con-ducted on fourteen different farms of Dauphin County, that the Michigan potatoes produce fifty-seven bushel more on an average, per acre, than any other variety. The Farm Bureau located the potatoes and aided in organizing the farmers, so that they could order these potatoes in bulk , but did not help in any further way. The farmers of Dauphin County are pioneers in this work , according to the Farm Bureau. The second Illustrated Lecture, in a series of two, given under the auspices of the Educational committee, of the Y. W. C. A., will be held on Friday evening, December 17, at the Central Theatre. The attendance at the first lecture, on last Friday evening, was splendid. The lectures have been written by Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, pastor of the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, and are masterpieces. The first part , "The Puritan in the Old World," beautifully illustrated, pleased everyone who attended. It was a most wholesome source of enlightenment and absolutely authoritive in its minutest de-tails. All who attended were enriched by this remarkable treatise on the Pilgrim Fathers of the Old World , and were unanimous that it was one of the most enjoyable lectures a Hershey audience has ever been privileged to listen to. The second lecture or second part will deal with "The Puritans in th e New World." It will show in concise form the effect the Puritans have had on our American civilization, tracing from the date of their landing at Plymouth Rock, on through the years to the present time. It will show how solidly founded in the beliefs, practices and - customs of those early Pilgrims, are many of our institutions of this day. Very few of us are aware of the vast debt of gratitude we owe to that sturdy band for many of our finer and nobler traits of character and practices. They have been, by their sturdiness and by their firm belief in civic and religious freedom, a powerful factor in the molding of our national life as year follows year. Only the keenest student, such as Dr. Hillis, who has made an exhaustive study of his subject , can bring to us the things we should know about the Puritans in the New World. In every detail , each lecture is his-torically accurate, and this second lecture will prove as highl y entertaining and in-structive as the first one. It will also be wonderfully and beautifully illustrated with lantern slides. It can not help, aside from the true enjoyment and entertain-ment afforded , but make better Americans ol each one who listens to its marvelous truths and beauty. Prof. A. M.

It is a simple plan yet if the students respond will net the schools a considerable sum, without any effort or loss of time. For each subscription, given by Mr. Spurry, to the Country Gentleman, at $1.00 per year, one-half , or fift y cents ol that amount, remains with the school, to be applied in any manner the school may decide.

VICTOR BROWN GUESTS AT DINNER Mr. and Mrs. Victor Brown , recently wed , were t endered a most elaborate c'inner , on Sunday, at the home of the former 's parent s, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown, East Main .street, Palmyra. The bride and groom were the reci pients of many valuable and useful gifts and also the best wishes, from each guest , for a happy and prosperous journey over the matrimonial sea. Following were present: Mr. and Mrs. Victor Brown , Mr . and Mrs. Harry Brown , Sr., daughter Mary and son, Raymond; Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Brown , son Donald and daughter Gladys; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Brown , daughters, Anna and Ethel ; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown , J r., daughters , Mildred and R u t h ; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brown; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Moyer , and son Martin , of Palmyra , Mr. and Mrs. Edga r Bohr and Miss Agnes Dullabahn and mot her, of Lebanon. What has long been considered a dire necessity to the social life of the com-munity, during the winter season, is about to be granted. A winter dance floor , centrally located , spacious and fine, will be opened on Wednesday evening, Dec. 22nd, in the rear section of the vacated store building. This section was formerly occupied by the hardware and furniture departments. Upon their removal to the new store building, no time was lost in starting operations to convert this floor into a genuine dance pavilion . The floor is being planed to an exacting smoothness and will be given every proper attention so that the need for a first class dance floor for winter functions may be suffic-iently fulfilled. An orchestra platform ha<^ been con-structed in the centre of the floor. Cloak-rooms and rest rooms for ladies and gentle-men have been built. The floor itself is of spacious dimensions and with every detail, in the present arrangement , finally and thoroughly completed, the social life of the community will be immeasurably quickened by this addition to the town's fecilities for recreation and wholesome amusement. The Mannix Dance Orchestra, of Harris-burg, has been secured for this opening dance. They are a splendid orchestra and will surely please. Their playing at the new store during the recent Inspection Period was a revelation and a delight to all. They arc fast becoming firmly established as one of the very best dance orchestra 's in the state. At present , it is planned to hold a semi-monthly dance, which plan, however, will depend on the patronage. If it is seen that the community wants to dance oftener than twice each month , a weekly dance will be held and on the other hand, if the patronage is small, dances will be held but once a month. When completed, this new dance floor, will unquestionably prove a delightful surprise to everybody. 11 is being planned for the sole purpose of supplying a source of recreation , another channel for carrying the social life of the community into larger and more enjoyable plane. It is therefore hoped all will accordingly ap-preciate this new privilege and avail themselves of the splendid opportunity which will be herein presented .

What has long been considered a dire
necessity to the social life of the com-munity,
during the winter season, is about
to be granted. A winter dance floor ,
centrally located , spacious and fine, will
be opened on Wednesday evening, Dec.
22nd, in the rear section of the vacated
store building.
This section was formerly occupied by
the hardware and furniture departments.
Upon their removal to the new store
building, no time was lost in starting
operations to convert this floor into a
genuine dance pavilion . The floor is
being planed to an exacting smoothness
and will be given every proper attention
so that the need for a first class dance
floor for winter functions may be suffic-iently
fulfilled.
An orchestra platform ha<^ been con-structed
in the centre of the floor. Cloak-rooms
and rest rooms for ladies and gentle-men
have been built. The floor itself is
of spacious dimensions and with every
detail, in the present arrangement , finally
and thoroughly completed, the social life
of the community will be immeasurably
quickened by this addition to the town's
fecilities for recreation and wholesome
amusement.
The Mannix Dance Orchestra, of Harris-burg,
has been secured for this opening
dance. They are a splendid orchestra
and will surely please. Their playing at
the new store during the recent Inspection
Period was a revelation and a delight to
all. They arc fast becoming firmly
established as one of the very best dance
orchestra 's in the state.
At present , it is planned to hold a semi-monthly
dance, which plan, however, will
depend on the patronage. If it is seen
that the community wants to dance
oftener than twice each month , a weekly
dance will be held and on the other hand,
if the patronage is small, dances will be
held but once a month.
When completed, this new dance floor,
will unquestionably prove a delightful
surprise to everybody. 11 is being planned
for the sole purpose of supplying a source
of recreation , another channel for carrying
the social life of the community into
larger and more enjoyable plane. It is
therefore hoped all will accordingly ap-preciate
this new privilege and avail
themselves of the splendid opportunity
which will be herein presented .

of the stolen brides , arrives at the ap-pointed

It is found necessary to cancel all
basket-ball games which had been sched-uled
by Hershey Post No. 38fi , American
Legion, beginning with games to have
been played December 15. with Rookwood
of Reading.
When Harry Wirth and John Bordner
left for Cuba and Trafford was appointed
Railway Mail Clerk , making it impossible
for him to play, the team lost three of its
best players. The members of the Post
¦ almost unanimously favor playing none
but Legion members and with the present
available players it could not give the
public first class basket-ball.
Out of five games played at home the
team won three and lost two. The de-feats
were administered by the Reading
Walnuts, champions of Berks county by
a one point margin , and the fast All-
Collegian team , of Lebanon. One game-was
played on foreign floor and lost. .
The team wishes to thank the public
for the support given it.
