The ' finil score was 25 to 6. ' The local team played sluggishly during the first half while Steelton scored 10 points. . At the close of this period Captain ' Magrini-was taken from the game because of injuries. Belser was placed into the quarterback position and handled the team like a veteran during the entire second half. Hershey . scored her Jone . touchdown near the end of the third period five minutes after Steelton had netted her last point. The spectacular running of Shea and Swartz and the work of Long on end, together with the generalshi p of Belser were the features of the team's good play ing in the second half. Twice Shea rounded the ends for gains of from 25 to 40 yds., at one time bring ing the ball to Steelton 's 8 yd., line before he was downed. Hershey scored her touchdown on a well executed forward pass from Shea to Long who raced twelve yards, thro ugh the Steelton backs and crossed the goal line.

Swartz will be in readiness to enter the Hummelstown game on' -Wednesday afternoon. The team will probabl y be without the services of Magrini for another week or more. The latter is still walking on crutches. Earl Hackman and Leonard Ferucci played a hard and snappy game against the Steelton High Reserves. Leonard tore up the opponents line again and again while Earl repeatedly tackled Steelton's backs for losses. ' ¦. Gerlach, although outweigHed by thirty two pounds played a fighting game at the guard position. Walter is a Freshman but he possesses the sand to play his men as they come, big or little. Acting Captain Shea kept the members of the team on their toes in the second, half. His hard and consistent playing coupled with the pep of the flashy work of Belser at quarter inspired the team to stage a come-back in the second half. Captain Magrini viewed the second half of the game from the side lines. The team thoug h greatl y handicapped by his absence from the game, did its best to show him a good game. He says the beam succeeded, too.

The evening session will start at 7:80, Thin will bo a missionar y service, the feature of which will be an address by n missionary from the Danish Islands , The preliminary meeting for the organiza-tion of Hershey in the forth-coming $900,000 Harrisburg Hospital Building .Fund Cam-paign, was held on Friday evening^ in the Central Theatre. ' ¦ • The meeting was addressed by J. E. B. Cunnin gham, chairman of the Publicity Committee and also by Mr. Sweigert , Chair-man of Organization. Every phase of the question was very ably presented by Mr. Cunnin gham, who emphaticall y told of the great need for a greater . and larger hospital . He pointed out that , after a thorough and careful survey by an eminent authority, it was declared 600 Hospital beds should at all times be available for emergencies , with 400 beds as the minimum number for norm al conditions. ' At the present time ther e are approximatel y 200 hospital beds available in Harrisburg, with about 135 of them at the Harrisburg Hospital. He pointe d out that the Harrisburg Hospitals serve a territory covering a wide area embracing a population of 150,000. From this area during the first eight months of the curr ent year , 2429 individual cases were housed. Added to this were 15,453 Free Dispensary treatments for which not one cent was charged. In addi-tion to this there were 1751 Fr ee Laboratory Examinations made while the number of free radiographs (X-ray) taken numbered 261. Of the foregoing figures, it was point ed out , all except the House Admissions repre - sent free service, while of the actual House Admissions from 40 per cent to 65 per cent were free. The cost of operatin g, a hospital varies owing to certain local conditions. For the fiscal year just ended the cost per patient per day at the. Harrisburg Hospit al was $3.98 and yet every patient admitted for treatment received just exactly the treatmen t and service which their case demanded regardless of whether or not they were able to pay. Records for the. past eight months show a rising percentage of free cases admitted ? varying from 40 per cent during the month of April to 56 per cent during the month of Jul y. And it is further pointed out that the percentage of free work will increase as the winter months advance. A hospital is a great public , institution worthy of the support of everyone. Looking at the question from every viewpoint— financial , economic, humanitarian—success should crown the efforts of those who are unselfishly devoting their time and talents to this campai gn about to be launched. If every person could go thr ough the present Harrisburg Hospital and see the crowded conditions , the over-worke d nurses , doctors , attendants; if they could hear the great number of telephone calls every day in the year requesting, almost demanding hospital service ; if they could hear the pleas of the sick seeking hospital space and could hear those in charge explain that the rooms are already so overcrowded that none but emergency coses could be taken in; if we could all hear and see these things—and we can by simply calling at the Hospital at any time-^-thcr e would be no question but that sufficient funds would be promptl y sub-scribed to correct this awful situation. Mr. J. E. Snyder is in charge of the work here. No definite plans have been outlined as yet for presenting the question to the people here and until this has been done it is hoped all will carefully consider the question and will be entirel y sympathetic , regardless of the method by which the question is presented. J .E. B. Cunnin gham Presents Needs Count y Hospital LEESE-ZELLAR NUPTIAL EVENT The home of Rev. E. E. Bender , of Ann-ville, w^s the scene of a nuptial event when Rev. Bender solemnized the wedding of Mr. John R. Zellor and Mrs. Ellen H. Leese. The contracting parties are well known in Berks and Dauphin counties. Mr s. E. E, Bender , the daugh ter of the bride played the wedding march. Ralph "Bender, the bride 's only grandchild accom-panied the coup le as flower bearer. The brid e was attired in a beautiful gown of crcpc-de-chine. The room was prettily decorated with roses and chrysanthemums. After the ceremon y the happy party join ed in a wedding breakfast. The following were present : Mr. and Mrs . John R. Zellar , Mr. and Mrs. J. Wal ter Stover , of Wcrncrsville; Mr. and Mrs . Ral ph W. Lccse, of Sand Beach; Rev. E. E. Bender and son llalph , of Annvill o. The coup le will reside in Wcrncrsville , where the groom is employed as teller of the Weriier sville National Bank. The bri de was a former resident of Hershey, when she lived with her son, John F. Lccse. The couple have the best wishes of their many friends. SUBSCRIPTION FIR E TRUCK FUND The committee on Fire Truck Fund , work-ing under direction of th e Hershey Volunteer Fir e Company, desires to call attention to the fact that the six month period allowed to subscrib ers, will expir e on October 81. It is felt certain that all subscribers obligated themselves in good faith and that it is .simply a matter of oversight on the part of those who .thus far have tailed to fulfill this obllga* tlon , They furth ermore , feel assured that all subscribers will promptl y remit when this matter is brought to their attention . BECAME BUSINE SS MANAGER OF COL LEGE PAPER Roy H, Landis , of Union Deposit, is busines s manager of the "Bu ckn olllan" the weekly paper published by Buckncll Uni-versity. J-andifl was assistant manager last year and au tomaticall y became manager this year , IIo Is also advertising manager of tlie Alumni Monthl y. Both th ese publications rank high in the field ofc ollcge papers , , Saturday, October 29:—"Top Wise Wives,' a Lois Weber production. The stor y follows : _ David <jraham , a young married man, is sincerely loved by his wife,. Marie , who anticipates his every want and zealously waits upon him. David feels himself bored at times and unconsci ously he dreams of his former sweetheart, ' Sara , who is now- the wife of John Daly, his old friend. Nothing apparentl y displeased Sara , not even when David dropped cigar ashes on her rugs. Unlike Marie , she was not a perfec t housekeeper , nor did she force.her attentions upon David whom she once thought she loved. She marri ed Daly because his wealth could satisfy all . her whims—and she had many of them. However , she thought she could win David back and she began a systematic campai gn to that end. She planne d to have Davi d visit her during her husband 's absence on a week-end tri p. But she did not count on the unexpected appearance of Mario in her room at midni ght when she was awaiting David' s arrival on the scene. Marie , who had intercepte d a letter from Sara to David , but without opening , it, suspects much when she sees Sara s crest on the envelope. She does not reproach Sara for trying to steal her husband , but what she said will be of interest to all women whose only fault is that they love not wisely but too well. After this interview , Marie raises a delicate point of honor with her husband , who, to settle the matter , visits Mrs. Daly in her sitting room. Her instincts aroused , Sara seeks to enmesh David in an intrigue , but he repels her in a surpri sing manner , and her spiritual regenera tion follows. The story reveal s to Sara that a husband' s love and faith are a woman's most precious possessions and there comes perfect happi-ness to the Graham and Daly households. A Sunshine Comedy, "Say it with flowers. " is also on thi s evening 's bill. Monday, October 31:—Jam es Oliver Cur-woods greatest story, "Kazan. " It is an enchanting ' and powerful picture of the part a great dog played in a love story of the North. As a book it gripped , amazed and delighted; and now th at it has been brought to the screen its charm and thrill are intensified even beyond the strength of the written word. "Kazan ," half-wolf , half-dog, becomes a real character , almost human in translation to the screen. Joan , the girl , brought from civilization into the land of the forgotten ; Thorpe , the avenger , who turn ed lover; McCready, the brute; Humpy Joe , whose music char med even the fighting instinct of the "kill er-dogs "—all live on the screen as vividly as they lived in the author 's mind. The presentation of "Kaza n" at the Cen-tral Theatre Monday will afford an oppor-tunity of seeing, and enjoying a masterpiece of fiction for the photo -dramatization of which a million readers have clamored. Hershe y Central Theatre Offer s Two Good Shows A GIFT OF ONE TON OF COAL Who 'wouldn 't appreciate a ton of coal delivered right in your coal bin without charge , especially at the price coal sells for today.

Steelton High School Reserves football
team defeated the Her shey High team at
Steelton Saturday afternoon. The ' finil
score was 25 to 6. ' The local team played
sluggishly during the first half while Steelton
scored 10 points. . At the close of this period
Captain ' Magrini-was taken from the game
because of injuries. Belser was placed into
the quarterback position and handled the
team like a veteran during the entire second
half. Hershey . scored her Jone . touchdown
near the end of the third period five minutes
after Steelton had netted her last point.
The spectacular running of Shea and Swartz
and the work of Long on end, together with
the generalshi p of Belser were the features
of the team's good play ing in the second half.
Twice Shea rounded the ends for gains of
from 25 to 40 yds., at one time bring ing the
ball to Steelton 's 8 yd., line before he was
downed. Hershey scored her touchdown on
a well executed forward pass from Shea to
Long who raced twelve yards, thro ugh the
Steelton backs and crossed the goal line.
Long deserves much credit for the splendid
game he put up on the flank position.

Capt. Magrini and Swartz were absent
from school Monday because of injuries
received in Saturday 's game against Steelton
High School Reserves. Swartz will be in
readiness to enter the Hummelstown game
on' -Wednesday afternoon. The team will
probabl y be without the services of Magrini
for another week or more. The latter is still
walking on crutches.
Earl Hackman and Leonard Ferucci
played a hard and snappy game against the
Steelton High Reserves. Leonard tore up
the opponents line again and again while
Earl repeatedly tackled Steelton's backs for
losses. ' ¦.
Gerlach, although outweigHed by thirty
two pounds played a fighting game at the
guard position. Walter is a Freshman but
he possesses the sand to play his men as they
come, big or little.
Acting Captain Shea kept the members of
the team on their toes in the second, half.
His hard and consistent playing coupled
with the pep of the flashy work of Belser at
quarter inspired the team to stage a come-back
in the second half.
Captain Magrini viewed the second half
of the game from the side lines. The team
thoug h greatl y handicapped by his absence
from the game, did its best to show him a
good game. He says the beam succeeded,
too.

as well as the enjoyment of .others.

The preliminary meeting for the organiza-tion
of Hershey in the forth-coming $900,000
Harrisburg Hospital Building .Fund Cam-paign,
was held on Friday evening^ in the
Central Theatre. ' ¦
• The meeting was addressed by J. E. B.
Cunnin gham, chairman of the Publicity
Committee and also by Mr. Sweigert , Chair-man
of Organization. Every phase of the
question was very ably presented by Mr.
Cunnin gham, who emphaticall y told of the
great need for a greater . and larger hospital .
He pointed out that , after a thorough and
careful survey by an eminent authority, it
was declared 600 Hospital beds should at
all times be available for emergencies , with
400 beds as the minimum number for norm al
conditions. ' At the present time ther e are
approximatel y 200 hospital beds available
in Harrisburg, with about 135 of them at the
Harrisburg Hospital. He pointe d out that
the Harrisburg Hospitals serve a territory
covering a wide area embracing a population
of 150,000. From this area during the first
eight months of the curr ent year , 2429
individual cases were housed. Added to this
were 15,453 Free Dispensary treatments for
which not one cent was charged. In addi-tion
to this there were 1751 Fr ee Laboratory
Examinations made while the number of
free radiographs (X-ray) taken numbered
261. Of the foregoing figures, it was point ed
out , all except the House Admissions repre -
sent free service, while of the actual House
Admissions from 40 per cent to 65 per cent
were free.
The cost of operatin g, a hospital varies
owing to certain local conditions. For the
fiscal year just ended the cost per patient per
day at the. Harrisburg Hospit al was $3.98 and
yet every patient admitted for treatment
received just exactly the treatmen t and
service which their case demanded regardless
of whether or not they were able to pay.
Records for the. past eight months show a
rising percentage of free cases admitted ?
varying from 40 per cent during the month
of April to 56 per cent during the month of
Jul y. And it is further pointed out that the
percentage of free work will increase as the
winter months advance.
A hospital is a great public , institution
worthy of the support of everyone. Looking
at the question from every viewpoint—
financial , economic, humanitarian—success
should crown the efforts of those who are
unselfishly devoting their time and talents
to this campai gn about to be launched. If
every person could go thr ough the present
Harrisburg Hospital and see the crowded
conditions , the over-worke d nurses , doctors ,
attendants; if they could hear the great
number of telephone calls every day in the
year requesting, almost demanding hospital
service ; if they could hear the pleas of the
sick seeking hospital space and could hear
those in charge explain that the rooms are
already so overcrowded that none but
emergency coses could be taken in; if we
could all hear and see these things—and we
can by simply calling at the Hospital at any
time-^-thcr e would be no question but that
sufficient funds would be promptl y sub-scribed
to correct this awful situation.
Mr. J. E. Snyder is in charge of the work
here. No definite plans have been outlined
as yet for presenting the question to the
people here and until this has been done it is
hoped all will carefully consider the question
and will be entirel y sympathetic , regardless
of the method by which the question is
presented.
