              Half A Million Fares
Collected Last Year
The Hershey Transit Company is getting
everything in readiness for a banner year ,
and as a result all the cars have been reno-vated
and repainted. In fact , every year is a
banner year with this Company, but the
coming summer season, when the Church
of the Brethren will again convene at
Hershey Park in June, will be such that
Supt. J. R. Kreider expects still greater
things.
The Hershey Transit system totals 35
miles. It extends westward to Hummels-town
where it makes half hourl y connec-tions
with Harrisburg. The short line
runs eastward to Palmyra , connecting
with cars to Lebanon. On its asm line to
Lebanon , which goes through Campbell-town,
the run is made in 45 minutes. This
is a particularly fine ride through a beauti-ful
agricultural region. The route to
Elizabethtown , connecting with cars to
Lancaster , is just as delightful and is made
in 30 minutes.
The number of cars total 26, consistin g
of 16 passenger cars, 5 freight cars, 2 open
cars for summer traffic , a line car , stone car
and a snow plow. The grades are low,
with perfect ballast , heavy rails, and all of
the cars are modern—which accounts for
the reason why riding on the Hershe y
trolleys is always a pleasure.
A leading street car authority said in the
course of a highly eulogistic article on
Hershe y, "The development of the transit
system of Hershey is equally as interesting
and impressive as the development of the
town itself. Every attention was devoted
to establishing and maintaining a reputa-tion
for comfort, easy riding and prompt
and efficient service."
Last year the Hershey Transit Com-pany's
registers totaled more than half a
million fares, and this large amount of
business was done with trie utmost dis-patch.
Throughout the year there has
been hardly any deviation in its running
schedule, and with but a few minor acci-dents.
All of the employees of the Company are
men of long experience, possessing ability,
tact and resourcefulness. They are ever-willing,
courteous and always on the job, it
matters not whether it be hot or cold, rain
or snow, thunder or blizzard.
The organization is made up as follows:
Supt , J . R. Kreider; assistant , A. W.
Flowers.

ALL-SCHOLASTICS WIN SIXTH
STRAIGHT
The Hershey All-Scholastics made it six
in a row by defeating the much heralded
Lebanon Eagles on the local floor on last
Friday evening by the score of 52 to 34.
Manager Herbst used a bit of strategy by
sending in several second string men to
start the game with the result that the
Eagles had little trouble in running up the
score to their advantage. The visitors
were lust getting their machine working
smoothly when the Hershey regulars were
sent into the fray , and soon had Eagles'
vision of victor y dashed to pieces.' With
the regular lineup on the floor the locals
playcoV ring around the visitors and held
advanta ge of eleven points at half time.

Wm. F. R. Murrie to
Address Sportsme n
On Friday evening, at 8.00 o'clock the
Lebanon Valley Fish and Game Protective
Association will hold an import ant meeting
at the Hershe y Market House, which will
be addressed by Wm. F. R- Murrie , presi-dent
of the Hershey Chocolate Compan y,
as well as by several others; and every man
in Hershey and vicinity is given a cordial
invitation to attend.
The membership of the Lebanon Valley
Fish and Game Protective Association had
almost reached the 300 mark , but seeming-ly
the interest in the organization has died
out , and the meeting on Friday evening is
being held to rejuevnate a new interest by
its membership.
The Lebanon Valley Fish and Game
Protective Association has and continues
to do splendid work , distributing rabbits ,
pheasants and fish in the fields, forests and
streams. This is done through the pay-ment
of dues, which is but $1.00 a year.
Surely every red-blooded man in Hershey
and vicinity should belong to this organiza-tion
and do "his bit" in this work.
The officers are as follows: President ,
Charles Schriver , of Palmyra; Secretary,
Wm. McKinne , of Hershey ; Treasurer ,
Harry M. Moyer, of Hershey.
The Lebanon Valley Fish and Game
Protective Association believes in the con-servation
of bird , animal and fish life.
They believe in having for the sportsmen
of tomorrow more game in our mountains
and fields, and more fish in our streams
than was left them. Much game was
exterminated by the earl y hunters and
professional game butchers , and as a con-sequent
we have lost much of the joy of life
by the absence of these birds , animals and
fish.
At the time of William Penn's first ap-pearance
on the Delaware there was prob-ably
no part of the world where nature had
been more lavish with wild animals, birds
and fish life than Pennsylvania.
In the early days the buffaloes or bison,
migrated between the Great Lakes and
Georgia , crossing the Susquehanna River
at Hatdeman 's Island , near Clarks ' Ferry.
As late as the middle of the last centur y
elk were found in some of the northern
counties of the State. The beaver existed
in a wild state , and the wolf, the panther ,
and the Canada lynx were met with, as
were the fisher fox, pine marten and wol-verine.
Today all of these interesting forms of
wild life are gone, and are we any better off
for their passing. Dogs kill more sheep
in one year than the wolves ever killed, and
the small amount of game destroyed can-not
be weighed against the thrill and charm
of their existence in our forests. Twenty
years ago the deer were all but extinct.
There were two varieties , the northern and
the southern forms of the Virginia deer.
Most of the big northern type are gone, but
the southern type have interbred with
western and southern deer introduced by
the State Game Commission , and now deer
hunting is again a popular sport in our
mountains. The red and grey fox are
present in diminishing numbers , squirrels
are scarce, includin g the black squirrel and
the picturesque flying squirrel. The coon,
the opossum and the groundhog are still
with us. The black bear seems to be hold-ing
his own, and is our noblest game
animal.
Our older people love to tell of the fights
of the wild pigeons on their migrations
north in the spring, south in the fall, In
untold millions which "darkened the sun."
They were unmercifully harrassed at their
breeding grounds in the northern counties,
the old birds were netted , and the trees cut
down for the squabs. No wonder they
decreased , yet their total disappearance is
the greatest of avian mysteries.
The heathcock , the eastern form of the
prarie hen, has been exterminated , as has
the beautiful Carolina parraket. The
ruffed grouse or "pheasant and the quail
are still residents of our State.
The golden eagle is occasionally seen in
Pennsylvania , but was always rarer than
the bald eagle, known as the American
eagle, which regularly bred here, especially
along the Susquehann a River. Thought-less
hunters laid them low, and they are
as memories.
All of the smaller so-called birds of prey,
hawks and owls, so useful to the farmer are
becoming scarce in Penns ylvania. The
raven is almost a thing of the past. The
turkey vulture , miscalled "buzzard ," still
soars above our mountains , and is a pictur-esque
feature of our scenery, replacing to
some extend the majestic but vanished
eagles.
Cranes and herons, bitterns and king-fishers,
have been killed by gunners who
imagine they destroy fish, whereas they
were mostly busied hunting enemies of the
fish and their spawn , such as frogs, lizzards ,
cray fish and water snakes which they
devour voraciousl y.
There is still a fair number of smaller
woodpeckers and sapsuckers , but the
musical hammering of the pilated wood-pecker
or log cock is now rarely heard.
Wild ducks, wild geese and swans still
appear on our rivers , and according to
some are increasing in numbers.
William Penn was filled with enthusiasm
over the value of the Pennsylvania fisher-ies.
In those days the seals followed the
shad into the estuaries of the Delaware and
Susquehanna Rivers, and shad, fisheries
were profitable investments almost to the
headwaters of the Delaware, the Susque-hannd
, the Juniata and the Karoondiwha ,
now called Penn's creek. The building of
dams, and pollution by industrial plants
have made the shad but a memory m the
inland waters of Pennsylvania.
The old-fashioned , highly colored, game-ly
native trout is only found in some of the
wilder mountain streams of the State.
Once they were so plentiful that the early
fishermen caught basketfuls with their
hands. The introduction of western trout
has pretty well destroyed the old native
variety, but trout fishing toda y is a popular
and delightful recreation. Catfish , suck-ers,
sunfish and eels also abound , and
afford sport for old and young.
A more sensible day is at hand , thanks to
the continued efforts of the Lebanon Valley
Fish and Game Protective Association and
similar organizations. These organizations
are making every effort to conserve our
game supply and certainly the deer and
bears are increasing. A fisherman 's license
means increased fish propagation.
We need game and fish to keep alive the
spirit of our pioneer forefathers , the heroic
men and women who were the bone and
sinew of Pennsylvania. We can again
have the hunter 's paradise as described by
William Penn if we would help the Leba-non
Valley Fish and Game Protective
Association and similar organizations , in
the great and glorious work that they are
doing.
Bible Class Federation
Is Planned
The regular monthly meeting of the John
Elder Men's Bible Class of the Deny
Presb yterian Sunday School was held
Monda y evening, March 10, at the home of

Sea Lions To Be Added
To Hershey Zoo
John R. Zoll, manager of Hershey Park ,
has received a letter from Hagenbeck
Bros. Co., of Hamburg, Germany, col-lectors,
importers and dealers of wild and
domestic animals and birds , endeavoring
to interest him in makin g several additions
to the present collection in Hershey Park.
The price list accompan ying the letter
quotes polar bears at $1,000, tigers $1,000,
Oons $250, leopards $350, kangaroos $150,
wolves $45, monkeys $25, baboons $45,
12-foot pythons $75. Several elephants
were on the list, but no prices were quoted.
Ostriches were quoted at $150, parrots
$59, cockatoos $20, marabou $15, peafowl
$125, Nile geese $35 and swan $40.
At the present time the facilities of the
Hershey Park Zoo are not adequate to care
for any additional wild animals , but there
is hopes that some time in the near futu re
that a large and suitable buildin g in which
to house a large collection of wild animals
will be erected in the park.
For the coming season Mr. Zoll is
endeavoring to obtain several sea lions and
a large pool will be constructed for these
playful and interesting animals. The site
for this pool has not as yet been chosen, but
this matter will be decided upon when Mr.
M. S. Hershey returns from Cuba.
Mr. Hershey has always contemplated
having several elephants in the Hershe y
Zoo, and Mr. Zoll states that the public
need not be surprised upon visiting the
park this summer to see these, with the sea
lions, being quartered there. If the ele-phants
are added it will be necessary to
grow more hay on the Hershey farms for an
elephant will eat a ton of hay a week.
During the winter months a number of
monkeys have been added to the Zoo,
which now makes five cages.of these in-telligent
animals, that are proving a source
of much amusement to the large number of
children , as well as the older people, that
are continuall y to be seen at the Zoo,
winter or summer.

Hummel Defeats Dugout
Lester Hummel , who had won the
welterweight championship of the Atlantic

discharged , furnished the semi-windup
melee at Lebanon on Monday night , putt-ing
it all over the wild man from the Car-lisle
Barracks , Dugout Johnson by nape ,
represented as a one-time champion of the
U. S. Army. Hummel , employing a vic-ious
left lead to the face, followed across by
terrific right hand punches , knocked John-son
down seven times and then put out in
the seventh round. Johnson gave a fine ex-hibition
of gameness, but the bout was
stopped when a towel was thrown into the
ring. As a fighter Johnson was outclassed
by Hummel.
Cecil Baker , "Doggy " Elliott , Mike
Dressier , Tony D'Aurfa , Markey Albert ,
Reiley Straw , Russel Zentmeyer , Jame s
DeAngells, John Sotlenberger and Russell

springs from the runnin g-board of one
speeding automobile to the other,; and of
course, there are some fine fights. Virtue
Is triumphant and villainy suitably re-warded,
Just aait should be.
Neal Hart is not only a fine actor with
vigorous personalit y, but he has ridd en the
range and knows the West as it really is.
There 's no faking in a Neal Hart picture.
He has made millions of friends for his
vigorous work. "The Man from Montana "
is a powerf ul punch drama that will delight

Uupert of Hentzau "
On Saturda y Evening
Many huge sets were erected for the
photodrama , "Rup ert of Hentzau, " which
will be shown "at the Hershey Central
Theatre on Saturd ay, March 15th, and of
these the represent ation of one of Europe 's
most noted cathedr als was by far the larg-est.
It measured almost three hundred
and seventeen feet In length.
On this set the King of Ruritania
(played by Bert Lytell), was wedded to the
Princess Flavia (interpreted by Elaine
Hammersteiri ), and the ceremony was
conducted with all the proverbial 'regal pomp and splendor. To make sure of
accuracy in these scenes, the affair was
carried out in exact accordance with one of
Europe 's royal mar riages and the official
reports of this ceremony were used as text
books. Practically every extra in the
vicinity was recruit ed for these scenes, and
the ensemble effect of these many hundred
players in full costume and military regalia,
makes one of the most impressive sights of
the picture.
This is the only one of the many features
that make "Rupert of Hentzau '' the out-standing
picture of the season. The story,
which came from the facile pen of Sir
Anthony Hope, runs along without slack-ening
of interest , as the numberless
thousands who have read and loved it
know. The members of the cast—several
of whom played in the stage version of
"Rupert" —need no introducti on to the
motion picture public. A glance at the
names—Elaine Hammerstein , Bert Lytell,
Lew Cody, Claire Windsor , Hobart Bos-worth
, Bryant Washbur n, Marjorie Daw,
Mitchell Lewis, Adolphe Menj ou, Elmo
Lincoln, Irving Curnmings, Josephine
Crowell , Nigel De Brullier and Gertrude
Astor—is ample proof of the truth of the
statement of Myro n Selznick and Victor
Heerman that they assembled the greatest
cast in screen history for this production.
The photography is excellent, and over
one hundred thous and dollars of lighting
equipment was used in ilk'uminating the
big sets and street scenes. In fact, ,!Rup-ert
of Hentzau " actually cost so close to
five hundred thousand dollars to produce
that it could hardly be called an exaggera-tion
if set at the final total of over half a
million.
Tom Mix In "Ladies
To Board" Tuesday
Those who recall Tom Mix in his up-roarously
funny comedy picture "Soft
Boiled," will welcome the news that this
athletic Fox star has made anot her funster ,
"Ladies to Board" , which will be shown at
the Hershey Central Theatre Tuesday,
March 18th. His latest picture is from
the pen of William Dudley Pelley and
recites the experiences of a hard boiled cow
puncher who inheri ts an old ladies home
with all its attendant tri als and fortunes-good
and bad.
It seems that Tom, as Tom Faxton,
with his friend Bunk McGinni s, his half-pint
pard ner , decide to go to Boston to look
over the bean foundries. Tom gets an
opportunity to perform a little favor for a
lady, one Anastasia McFirth , when he
saves her from an omnivorous omnibus .
Out of gratitude , a month later , when this
old spinster passes away, she wills to the
energetic Thomas the McFirth Sanatorium
for Old Ladies. From then on things
begin to happen fast and humorously and
Tom, Bunk and Tony Mix ride through
several reels of what is heralded to be the
best entertainment Mix has ever made.
Gertrude Olmsted , whose dramatic ability
was proven in "Cameo Kirby ", plays
opposite Mix. Others In the cast are Phil
McCullough , Pee Wee Holmes, Gertrude
Claire and Fay Holderaess.

so wide as to satisfy the taste of critical
people who love classical and semi-classical
music, while the latest popular airs will not
be forgotten. Choruses in magnificient
costumes, surrounded by attractive stage
setting, will lend effectiveness to the entire
production. The vocal music will be sup-plemented
by instrumental selections such
as clarionet , saxaphone, plano-accordan In
solo and ensemble numbers.
An exhibition of interpretative dancing
will be staged and Herahey 's miniature toe
dancer will make her appearance before
the public for the first time.
We are glad to add that the High School
pup ils are to be assisted by several alumni
members. Merely to announce roles in
which "Ed" Shay or "Bill" Leithise r will
feature la a sufficient guarantee for a suc-cessful
evening 's entertain ment.
