Conference Visitors Thronged Hershey Park Sunday saw one of the largest crowns that has ever assembled at Hershey Park. Estimate place the number of people on the ground during the day from 40,000 to 50,000. Saturday there was a great influx of people who came for the over Sunday program of the Church of the Brethren Conference. Sunday morning early the autos began to pour in and it seemed that a continual stream of machines was entering the park during theentire day. The autos might have been counted by the acre rather than by the hundred. Traffic policemen were kept busy keeping drivers on the right Side of the roadways and turning the corners properly. No serious trouble was encountered. The Township Supervisors had several men placed near the bridge over the rail-road counting the automobiles and pedes-trians entering the Park. Beginning at 8 o'clock Sunday morning and continuing for the day, they found an average of 878 autos per hour entered the grounds, while more than 800 people afoot were going the same way in an hour's time. From 8 a. m. until 6 p. m. approximately 8786 machines and 40,000 people had entered the grounds by this one way. No count was made of the other entrances and there were thous-ands who entered by other passageways. The threatening weather with showers that came Sunday afternoon , interfered with the attendance somewhat. It was quite a problem to care for all the visitors in the way of food but lunch rooms, cafes, stands, etc., did their best to feed the multitudes and no one need to have gone away without finding something to satisfy the cravings of hunger. Hundreds of families who came for the day only brought their lunches with them arid picnic parties in autos and under the trees was a common sight. The main services of the day were held in the Convention hall but the other audi-toriums were utilized at different periods during the day. For the morning and evening services it is estimated that fully 10,000 people were jammed into the big auditorium. Seats were all filled, hundreds satin the aisles and at least two thousand people were standing just inside the en-trance. For the morning Peace program session a big overflow meeting was held with the speakers repairing there their addresses as given in the Convention Hall. The musical program was also repeated where possible. Rev. M. C. Swigart was presiding officer for the day. Prof. H. Augustine Smith, of Boston, led the service of song. Prof. M. J. Swigart, of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, chairman of the Peace Committee, intro-duced the speakers at the morning service. He called attention to the different con-ditions, so far as peace talk was concerned over six years ago. Then it was practically forbidden while today it was the popular thing and no one to say. nay. Special music for the morning session was furnished by the Bridgewater Men's Chorus and a mixed chorus from Blue Ridge College. The Blue Ridge Glee Club also brought a number. At the afternoon meeting the Men's chorus from Waynesboro brought a much appreciated selection while at the evening service the Juniata' College Men's Glee Club and the Bridgewater Men's Chorus furnished the special music. Other special music featured the various sectional and group meetings. The speakers at the forenoon session were Daniel West, of Ohio, Dr. J. Allen Miller, of Ohio, and Dr. Frederick J. Libbey, of Washington, D. C. In the afternoon Rev. H. F. Richards, of McPherson, Kansas, was the first speaker, followed by Dr. J. M. Henry, of Blue Ridge College, Md;, and the closing ad-dresses by Prof. W. W. Peters, of Man-chester College, Ind. Then the Last mes-sage by Edward Frantz, most fitting "What World Peace Is Waiting For." To Give Pageant The Women's Missionary Society of Derry Presbyterian Church will hold its regular monthly meeting in the church on Thursday, June 19th, at 7.30 p. m. The committee, consisting of Mrs. Wm. G. Hackman, Mrs. J. R. Kreider and Mrs. R. S. Woomer, has prepared an interesting pageant and as this is the last meeting o? the Society until September it is urged that all members and friends will be in attend-ance on Thursday evening. All members are requested to bring their Sunshine and Rainy Day bags to this meetlng or send them to the homo of the pastor, Rev. R. H. Taylor, on or before the 19th. A report of the amounts collected in the bags will be announced at the close of the meeting, and new leaders will be appointed. Due to weather conditions the flee beetle is prevalent In many Dauphin County potato fields. This warning has- been Issued by the Dauphin County Agricultural Extension Association together with advice for checking the past. The flee beetle is a black, quick-moving bug, which is difficult to detect. The insect bores holes in the leaves of potato plants. A spraying solution composed of aronated lead at the rate of four pounds to 100 gal. of Bordeaux mixture will destroy the pests. Although indications point to a good potato crop in Dauphin County, County Agent Burtner, warns the foliage must be kept clean. There has been little infestation this year from the Colorado potato bug but the flee beetle is infesting many fields.

PALMYRA MEN TO APPEAR IN "THE OLD HOMESTEAD" The regular monthly meeting - of the Woman 's Missionary Society of the First United Brethren Church of Hershey, will bo held Thursday evening, June 12th, at 7.30 o'clock, at the home of the President, Mrs. R. G. Hinkel, 222 Cocoa Avenue. After this meeting there will be a short meeting of the Executive Committe .•. WOMEN'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY TO MEET THIS EVENING With more than 550 acres being planted with soy beans this year in Dauphin Coun-ty, the Dauphin County Agricultural Extension Association has issued a state-ment advising farmers how to take care of the problem caused by recent heavy rains. When the soy beans are just coming through the ground , the field should be harrowed with a splkcd-tooth harrow, splkcii slanting;, In order to break the crust caused by rains. Harrowing acts as a stlmulcnt and aids in conservation of moisture similar to that of corn. Innoculation can be secured by the agricultural association officers at 25 cents an acre, and farmers wishing to take ad-vantage of this price should confer with County Agent R. R. Burtner, Yoffy Bui|d- Ing, Harrisburg . WET WEATHER CAUSES PROBLEM FOR FARMERS GROWING SOY BEANS While piloting the graduating class about in Washington last week, Prof. Hinkel was suffering from a heavy cold especially in the trachea and larynx. This came to the notice of our congenial Congressman, Frank C. Sites, from Harrisburg, who arranged for a treatment of chloitne gas for our Principal. This chlorine treatment is receiving considerable recognition for head and throat colds. President Coolidge gave the treatment his aprbbation by taking it recently for a cold. The work is in charge of Lt. Col. H. L. Gilchrist, of the Medical Division of the Chemical Warfare Service. One treatment continues for an hour but due to the fact that he took but one treat-ment Prof. Hinkel did not seem to get any relief. PROF. HINKEL TRIES NEW TREATMENT Perry Presbyterian Church To Observe 200th Anniversar y The old Derry Presbyterian Church of i entrance. The pews were about thirty in this place will observe its 200 anniversary I number, narrow, high and straight backed. on June 20th to 22d. The exact date of the first settlement is not known. The records tell us that there was a grant of land given to the Scotch- Irish immigrants in 1717, who settled in the forests of Pennsylvania. These people came from Ireland whither they had gone from Scotland and England. Ireland was not the land of their fathers, and when the avenues to the new world opened because of endless persecution and confusion they sought and found a new home in the wilderness of Pennsylvania. They came to America by the thousands, their religious ministers accompanying them. Their new settlement was named "Derry," in memory of their heroic defence of Derry, in Ireland, of which Macaulay says, "The most memorable in the annals of the British Isles." In looking over the names on the old tombstones in the grave-yard at Derry one is forcibly reminded of this fact, that among them are many of those that appear in the account of this siege in history when eighteen thousand Presbyterians were put to death. Into this home the Scotch-Irish brought their religious faith and here they at once erected their bethels. They labored earnestly and zealously and the following named congregations were formed: Done-gal, Paxtang, Derry and Hanover, each of these places being a distance of ten miles from the other. Accordingly, in 1717 a tract of one-hundred and sixty acres of woodland was given by William Perm's sons to the people of Derry for the sole use of Presbyterians, forever, for a meeting house, a school and burying place. The original deed to this property is held for safe keeping by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia. The grant made provision, by note of membership, for the disposal or sale of a certain number of acres of land restricted to the number now held. In 1720 the meeting house was built. It was a low, one-story, barn-like structure of logs, boarded up and down on the outside. It was once painted yellow, but time and weather removed the paint and left it dark and rusty. The building was thirty feet square with a very steep roof. The pulpit was a small box, three feet wide, circular in front and so high that the minister's head and necktie only could be seen. The ascent was made by a flight of narrow steps at the top of which was a small door for The first minister called to Derry was William Bertram, duly and formally installed in 1732. The congregation paid him sixty pounds a year in hemp, linen, com, yarn and the use of a farm. He served Derry until his death which oc-curred in 1746. The Rev. William Bertr ram's successors were Elders Roan, Snow-den, Williams, Adais, Sharon, Boggs and the last to be heard in the old church was the Rev. A. D. Mitchell, who preached as late as 1874. Beautiful memorial windows were placed in the new church by the friends and descendantso f these pastors. The pastor's study or school house was a small plain building standing ten yards or more from the meeting house, in which the minister taught the children of the parish. This building is in good preservation to this day. About forty yards from the church, lies the old grave-yard. It was substantially enclosed by a stone wall in 1862, gates were provided and every mark of respect shown to the mothers and fathers of a noted people. We quote from Egle's "Notes and Queries" concerning this old wall.' "Sume of thirty-nine pound, Good money of Pensl to be paid when the work is doen and fully Compleated in a work-manlake manor as affbresaid." James Galbraith and the Rev. William Bertram whose graves are marked by flat marble slabs in the southwest comer of the grave yard, are direct ancestors of James G. Blaine and William McKinley. In the new church which was built on the site of the old can be seen two walnut chairs and table belonging to the old meet-ing house, also a pewter communicaservice bearing the stamp of the manufacturer and the date of 1783. The present pastor of the church is the Rev. R. H. Taylor. Doctor Stewart, president of Auburn Seminary, Auburn, N. Y., will be the principal speaker at the anniversary service. The anniversary committee consists of G. C. Phillips, A. Bowman Snavely, John H. Cope, Mrs. Irvin Slesser and Miss Lydia Weltmer. They have sent out a request that any one who has any relics or anything which may be of interest to the 200th anniversary and is willing to let them be displayed, will kindly inform the committee or bring them to the church before June 20. State Ponce Break Up Obnoxious Practice A young fellow of eighteen years stand-ing on the comer of Chocolate and Cocoa Avenues, with a number of others, on Sunday whiled away his time passing unseemingly remarks about the passersby, particularly about the young women, interspersed with a few choice bits of profanity. Two young women took ex-ception to his remarks, and as a result made a complaint to the State Police. This young fellow, feeling his eighteen years and his superior importance, en-deavored to argue the matter with the Police, but as the officer was not in an argumentative mood, our gay young fellow soon found himself in the town's lockup, and before he was again set at liberty was fined $8.00. Furthermore, upon his appearance at the Factory, he received his walking papers. This practice of certain young men ?lathering on the street corners and in rant of the public buildings of the town, has been commented upon on several instances in these columns, but seemingly nothing was ever done in the matter, Tor the nuisance has been ever prevalent. We are glad that we have the State Police so close at hand, and with a few more fellows given a taste of the Law, we are sure this obnoxious practice will soon be a thing of the past. Hershey Car penters Do A Good Night's Work Owing to the delay in the arrival of the chairs to be placed in the Hershey Con-vention Hall quite a bit of uncertainty and anxiety prevailed among the Brethren, and the management of Hershey Park. Things looked very gloomy. However, every cloud has its silvery lining, for the chairs came in on Wednesday. To get these unloaded and placed in posi-tion for the Conference was another matter. But the man of the hour was on the job, and R. W. Glace called his men together and with his irrepressible smile, good cheer and blue prints started to do things. All Wednesday night they toiled, with Mr. Glace ever neat arid ever ready with a kindly word and with his blue prints, and when Old Sol peeped over the hills Mr. Glace and his men gave him a rousing cheer even tho they were heavy laden with sleep and tired of muscle, elated however that the 1042 chairs had been placed in position and that all was well. The placing of these chairs in the Her-shey Convention Hall, and the new maple flooring, has made a wonderful improve-ment to this already handsome and impos-ing edifice, With the placing of the sound-ing apparatus above the platform the acoustic properties of the building are well-nigh perfect. With these improve-ments made the Hershey Convention Hall stands peer of any in all Pennsylvania. Five Hershey Men A-Fishing Go Five fresh water fishermen, Admiral Trump, Jacob Weber, Hobart Hoy, Elmer Reidel and Uriah Hoerner, known far and wide throughout Lebanon Valley for their skill in pulling out the trout, the catfish and the sucker, tried new and larger waters to conquer over the week-end, going to Bars Beach, Delaware. All went well until the fishing smack got near the three-mile limit) and the wild waves, the sea air and the tossing of the smack made Admiral Trump ana Jacob Weber lose their enthusiasm and for the remainder of the day they fed the fish Instead of catching them. The other three celebrities continued their efforts , and as a result captured 130 croakers. The captain of the fishing smack to show them that there were other fish In the ocean, brought forth a large " sea trout. However, he cheerily gave our fisherman much encour-agement, telling them that they did quite well for the firstHlme and that on their next trip, which ho hoped would be soon as he liked their company and the chocolate that they brought with them, they might expect to be better rewarded. MENNON1TES WILL HOLD SERVICE SUNDAY The Reformed Mennonitca will hold services Sunday evening, June 15th, at Derr y Churc h, at 7 o'clock. Jonas Anthes from Humbcrstone, Canada, will preach. Everybody most cordially invited. MR. J. E. SNYDER ELECTED AS TRUSTEE AND DIRECTOR Mr. J. E. Snyder was re-elected as true-tee of Muhlenberg College at the Lutheran Mlnlaterlum of Pennsylvania and adjacent held at Bethlehem last week. He was also elected director of the proposed Women's College. ' Ye Editor Hears From Union Deposit Union Deposit, Pa. June 6, 1924. Editor of Hershey Press: Dear Editor: Speaking of baseball teams, sports and players, Hershey has one of the poorest outfits of any in the state of Pennsylvania.. In your latest edition of. the "Hershey Press" I notice you mention every player's name but one and he deserves more credit than any of the players you have praised so highly. I speak of pitcher John Hanshue, of Union Deposit. He has the "stuff" and sticking qualities, but your team behind him played like a bunch of school girls. On Decoration Day when he was put into the box to relieve Ream only one man talked to him and that was Ream. Is that sportsmanship? I'll say not. In Saturday's game with the Lebanon Orioles the first inning closed with the score, Lebanon, 3, Hershey 1. Those three runs were the fault of the players hot the pitcher. Bordner had an easy double play but he threw the ball to first instead. Then came a drive to center with Miller almost outside of the hedges. He should have been playing where the ball dropped. Stover is a good pitcher among school boys but among men "nix." When Hershey and Hershey players come out of their swell-headedness they may have a ball team and not until then. There were more sports from Union Deposit at the Saturday's game than there were from Hershey, Hummelstown and Palmyra combined. But then we are a small town and not worthy of mention. But we are more loyal to the Hershey team than the Hershey people are. Now print this if you dare. Yours truly, Bing Snyder, Union Deposit, Pa. (We are glad to print Mr. Snyder's letter, and we don't do so on a dare, for the columns of the "Press" are open to our readers at all times. In fact, we solicit your contributions. All that we ask of you is to sign your name. Mr. Snyder is rather severe with us. It was our plan to give Hanshue a boost in our baseball notes, but unfortunately "ye editor" last week was ordered home by "ye worthy doctor" and was not in the humor to continue his literary effusions. Moreover, "ye editor" did not see the game on Saturday afternoon as he was planting his corn. But we did hear about Hanshue's work, and a critic, who knows baseball players when he sees them tells us that the Union Deposit lad has the making of a real baseball pitcher, with the proper coaching. This is also what we said about Stover. But Hershey cannot depend on embryo pitchers—it will need at least another pitcher, and with Hanshue and Stover as substitutes, the team should be able to give a good account of itself. We don't believe that the Hershey team is swell-headed, in fact, we believe it is just the opposite. The team is doing its very best to deliver the goods. The weather has been against the team, preventing them doing any work, consequently they have not been able to do justice to them-selves as players or as a team. We are glad that the Union Deposit people are supporters of the team. The management and players appreciate this support, we are sure, and we trust that it will continue. We realize that the Her-shey people haven't as yet become en-thused over the team, but give us time. We believe the town will give a good ac-count of itself, as will Palmyra and Hum-melstown, as well as Campbelltown, Sand Beach, Hockersville and Cozy Village. So let us not begin to find fault with the team so early in the season, but let us give the boys a. chance, and let us one and all give them our loyal support and encourage-ment.] Kiddies Go On Picnic On Thursday morning of last week the Kindergarten children, taught by Miss Margaret Good, participated in a picnic at Hershey Park. On Friday a party was given at the Kindergarten rooms. There were songs and games, followed by ice cream and cake, and each child received a little basket filled with candy. The Kindergarten will open on Septem-ber 8th. The children present at the picnic and party were: Ruth Christ. Virginia Phillips, George Zimmerman, Adelia Slesser, Avis Ensminger, Earl Mays, Richard Knoll, Paul Bruoaker, Adele Stanley, Charles Hellman, Richard King, Bobby Hoy, Billy Hoy, Sarah Bordner, Leanna Cinder and Florence Leyba. FIREMEN PLAN FOR TWO-DAY SESSION More than forty-five fire companies and fir emen's organizations will be represented at Mkklletown at the opening session of the Sixth Annual Convention of the Dauphin County Volunteer Firemen's Association, scheduled for Friday, June 13, The initial meeting of the series of the two-day gathering will be held in the pavilion at Hoffcr Park, at 10 o'clock in the morning and will be followed by meetings during the day. A feature of the convention will be the parade on Saturday afternoon, June 14, in which many fire companies of Dauphin County will be represented with a large number of fire fighters aa well as visiting apparatus In line. The procession will form at 1.30 o'clock. ATTENDING COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Prof, A. M. Hinkel and family attended the Commencement Exercises at Gettys-burg College, June 10th and 11th. The class of 1904 of which Pr6f. Hinkel is a member, la celebrating its twentieth anni-versary. FOLTZ REUNION All Foltz or descendants of tho Foltz families, of whatever families, are invited to attend,a Foltz reunion on Thursday. June 12th, nt tho old Foltz homestead at Dcodate, five minutes walk from Station No. 9 on the Elizabethtown and Hershey trolley. Bring basket, The Old Homestead" Is Wonderful Play Many plays have come and gone since 1886, and many more will come and go but "The Old Homestead'' is certain to keep right on going until the end of time. That is because the basic elements of its story are deep-rooted in a truthful adherence to human nature—and when a play is so convincingly true to life, it deserves all, the success it enjoys. "The heart throb of a nation" is the way in which many keen critics have summed up the everlastingly popular appeal of Denman Thompson's classic, of New England life, "The Old Homestead", which the Ella Kramer Stock Co. will produce at the Hershey Park Theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 16th, 17th and 18th. After all is said and done, that phrase embodies the biggest point in the play which has the reputation of having been witnessed by more people than any other stage entertainment ever written in the history of the world. "The Old Home-stead" reaches deep down into the fibers of human nature. It plays upon your emo-tions as a master violinist would play upon the strings of his instrument. You will laugh, you will cry, you will be thrilled, shaken, stirred and at the final curtain, you will go home rejoicing that such a play as "The Old Homestead" exists, with its cheerful, optimistic note and the message that sends a shaft of sunlight right into the heart of every member of the audience. For those who have seen it before, it still holds its perennial charm and allure. For those who have come to regard "The Old Homestead" as a truly American institu-tion, and have seen it not once but dozens of times, there will be heightened enjoy-ment and contrast to be gained through the fact that their favorite artists of the players will be found in the various roles which they know and love so well. For those very few playgoers who have, through-some unfortunate reason or other, never seen 'The Old Homestead", all that can be said is that they are in for a delect-able treat, one they will never forget, and they are certain to join the ranks of the older generation of Americans, who love and reverence "The Old Homestead" and pay homage to it every chance they get to witness it.

Rims A Train On Dried Milk As Fuel Fancy a locomotive being run on milk— an engine pulling a train of five cars for a distance of six miles! That feat was performed last week. The occasion was a practical demonstration of the value of milk as fuel, conducted by Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, Health Commis-sioner of Chicago. Two hundred persons rode in the five railroad coaches. The sole fuel was dried milk, worked into lumps about four inches in diameter, approximately the same size as locomotive coal. Calculations show that this sub-stance has about the same heat value as medium grades of coal. A "Warmed-up" engine was taken. The steam gauge registered 135. Then 125 pounds of the lumped milk was shoveled in and began to bum vigorously. When the gauge touched 200, Dan Haggerty, the engineer, opened the throttle and the first train ever operated with milk as a fuel was speeding on its way. Concert Sunday The Hershey Park orchestra will start its summer season on Saturday, Juno 14th, giving evening concerts daily. On Sunday afternoon a special program has been arranged as follows: 1.

On Saturday afternoon of last week the Hershey baseball team defeated the Mt. Holly team at Mt. Holly by the score of 8-1 Ream pitched an almost invincible game, well-supported by Zimmerman, who caught a splendid game. The hit that brought in the run for Mt. Holly was a difficult try for Bordner, who just had a slight touch of the ball from his out- Stretched hand. A sacrifice brought in the lone run. After that, there wasn't any-thing to it. Hershey had three men on base in the first inning, but Wagner was too anxious, and was retired. Wagner put up a great game at second, and with him holding down this important position, the infield will be considerably strengthened. Bill Leithiser put up a great game at first, gathered" them in like a big Leaguer, and at the bat slammed out a three-bagger also a single. The team with a little more opportunity at practice will soon be in splendid shape. Taking everything in consideration the work accomplished so far has been simply unprecedented. The team goes to Colum-bia on Saturday, when a great game is anticipated. & The score is as follows: HERSHEY ABR H O A E MUler.cf 5 1 - 1 1 0 0 Bordner, ss 4 1-1 0 1 0 Albert, 3b 4 1 1 0 2 0 Ream.p 2 1 1 1 3 0 Wagner, 2b 4 1 0 5 3 0 Zimmerman, c 4 1 1 8 3 1 Gingrich, If 4 1 1 10 0 Leithiser, lb 4 1 211 0 0 Henry, rf 4 0 1 0 0 0 Total 33 8 927 12 1 MT.

Full Text | Conference Visitors Thronged Hershey Park Sunday saw one of the largest crowns that has ever assembled at Hershey Park. Estimate place the number of people on the ground during the day from 40,000 to 50,000. Saturday there was a great influx of people who came for the over Sunday program of the Church of the Brethren Conference. Sunday morning early the autos began to pour in and it seemed that a continual stream of machines was entering the park during theentire day. The autos might have been counted by the acre rather than by the hundred. Traffic policemen were kept busy keeping drivers on the right Side of the roadways and turning the corners properly. No serious trouble was encountered. The Township Supervisors had several men placed near the bridge over the rail-road counting the automobiles and pedes-trians entering the Park. Beginning at 8 o'clock Sunday morning and continuing for the day, they found an average of 878 autos per hour entered the grounds, while more than 800 people afoot were going the same way in an hour's time. From 8 a. m. until 6 p. m. approximately 8786 machines and 40,000 people had entered the grounds by this one way. No count was made of the other entrances and there were thous-ands who entered by other passageways. The threatening weather with showers that came Sunday afternoon , interfered with the attendance somewhat. It was quite a problem to care for all the visitors in the way of food but lunch rooms, cafes, stands, etc., did their best to feed the multitudes and no one need to have gone away without finding something to satisfy the cravings of hunger. Hundreds of families who came for the day only brought their lunches with them arid picnic parties in autos and under the trees was a common sight. The main services of the day were held in the Convention hall but the other audi-toriums were utilized at different periods during the day. For the morning and evening services it is estimated that fully 10,000 people were jammed into the big auditorium. Seats were all filled, hundreds satin the aisles and at least two thousand people were standing just inside the en-trance. For the morning Peace program session a big overflow meeting was held with the speakers repairing there their addresses as given in the Convention Hall. The musical program was also repeated where possible. Rev. M. C. Swigart was presiding officer for the day. Prof. H. Augustine Smith, of Boston, led the service of song. Prof. M. J. Swigart, of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, chairman of the Peace Committee, intro-duced the speakers at the morning service. He called attention to the different con-ditions, so far as peace talk was concerned over six years ago. Then it was practically forbidden while today it was the popular thing and no one to say. nay. Special music for the morning session was furnished by the Bridgewater Men's Chorus and a mixed chorus from Blue Ridge College. The Blue Ridge Glee Club also brought a number. At the afternoon meeting the Men's chorus from Waynesboro brought a much appreciated selection while at the evening service the Juniata' College Men's Glee Club and the Bridgewater Men's Chorus furnished the special music. Other special music featured the various sectional and group meetings. The speakers at the forenoon session were Daniel West, of Ohio, Dr. J. Allen Miller, of Ohio, and Dr. Frederick J. Libbey, of Washington, D. C. In the afternoon Rev. H. F. Richards, of McPherson, Kansas, was the first speaker, followed by Dr. J. M. Henry, of Blue Ridge College, Md;, and the closing ad-dresses by Prof. W. W. Peters, of Man-chester College, Ind. Then the Last mes-sage by Edward Frantz, most fitting "What World Peace Is Waiting For." To Give Pageant The Women's Missionary Society of Derry Presbyterian Church will hold its regular monthly meeting in the church on Thursday, June 19th, at 7.30 p. m. The committee, consisting of Mrs. Wm. G. Hackman, Mrs. J. R. Kreider and Mrs. R. S. Woomer, has prepared an interesting pageant and as this is the last meeting o? the Society until September it is urged that all members and friends will be in attend-ance on Thursday evening. All members are requested to bring their Sunshine and Rainy Day bags to this meetlng or send them to the homo of the pastor, Rev. R. H. Taylor, on or before the 19th. A report of the amounts collected in the bags will be announced at the close of the meeting, and new leaders will be appointed. Due to weather conditions the flee beetle is prevalent In many Dauphin County potato fields. This warning has- been Issued by the Dauphin County Agricultural Extension Association together with advice for checking the past. The flee beetle is a black, quick-moving bug, which is difficult to detect. The insect bores holes in the leaves of potato plants. A spraying solution composed of aronated lead at the rate of four pounds to 100 gal. of Bordeaux mixture will destroy the pests. Although indications point to a good potato crop in Dauphin County, County Agent Burtner, warns the foliage must be kept clean. There has been little infestation this year from the Colorado potato bug but the flee beetle is infesting many fields.

PALMYRA MEN TO APPEAR IN "THE OLD HOMESTEAD" The regular monthly meeting - of the Woman 's Missionary Society of the First United Brethren Church of Hershey, will bo held Thursday evening, June 12th, at 7.30 o'clock, at the home of the President, Mrs. R. G. Hinkel, 222 Cocoa Avenue. After this meeting there will be a short meeting of the Executive Committe .•. WOMEN'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY TO MEET THIS EVENING With more than 550 acres being planted with soy beans this year in Dauphin Coun-ty, the Dauphin County Agricultural Extension Association has issued a state-ment advising farmers how to take care of the problem caused by recent heavy rains. When the soy beans are just coming through the ground , the field should be harrowed with a splkcd-tooth harrow, splkcii slanting;, In order to break the crust caused by rains. Harrowing acts as a stlmulcnt and aids in conservation of moisture similar to that of corn. Innoculation can be secured by the agricultural association officers at 25 cents an acre, and farmers wishing to take ad-vantage of this price should confer with County Agent R. R. Burtner, Yoffy Bui|d- Ing, Harrisburg . WET WEATHER CAUSES PROBLEM FOR FARMERS GROWING SOY BEANS While piloting the graduating class about in Washington last week, Prof. Hinkel was suffering from a heavy cold especially in the trachea and larynx. This came to the notice of our congenial Congressman, Frank C. Sites, from Harrisburg, who arranged for a treatment of chloitne gas for our Principal. This chlorine treatment is receiving considerable recognition for head and throat colds. President Coolidge gave the treatment his aprbbation by taking it recently for a cold. The work is in charge of Lt. Col. H. L. Gilchrist, of the Medical Division of the Chemical Warfare Service. One treatment continues for an hour but due to the fact that he took but one treat-ment Prof. Hinkel did not seem to get any relief. PROF. HINKEL TRIES NEW TREATMENT Perry Presbyterian Church To Observe 200th Anniversar y The old Derry Presbyterian Church of i entrance. The pews were about thirty in this place will observe its 200 anniversary I number, narrow, high and straight backed. on June 20th to 22d. The exact date of the first settlement is not known. The records tell us that there was a grant of land given to the Scotch- Irish immigrants in 1717, who settled in the forests of Pennsylvania. These people came from Ireland whither they had gone from Scotland and England. Ireland was not the land of their fathers, and when the avenues to the new world opened because of endless persecution and confusion they sought and found a new home in the wilderness of Pennsylvania. They came to America by the thousands, their religious ministers accompanying them. Their new settlement was named "Derry," in memory of their heroic defence of Derry, in Ireland, of which Macaulay says, "The most memorable in the annals of the British Isles." In looking over the names on the old tombstones in the grave-yard at Derry one is forcibly reminded of this fact, that among them are many of those that appear in the account of this siege in history when eighteen thousand Presbyterians were put to death. Into this home the Scotch-Irish brought their religious faith and here they at once erected their bethels. They labored earnestly and zealously and the following named congregations were formed: Done-gal, Paxtang, Derry and Hanover, each of these places being a distance of ten miles from the other. Accordingly, in 1717 a tract of one-hundred and sixty acres of woodland was given by William Perm's sons to the people of Derry for the sole use of Presbyterians, forever, for a meeting house, a school and burying place. The original deed to this property is held for safe keeping by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia. The grant made provision, by note of membership, for the disposal or sale of a certain number of acres of land restricted to the number now held. In 1720 the meeting house was built. It was a low, one-story, barn-like structure of logs, boarded up and down on the outside. It was once painted yellow, but time and weather removed the paint and left it dark and rusty. The building was thirty feet square with a very steep roof. The pulpit was a small box, three feet wide, circular in front and so high that the minister's head and necktie only could be seen. The ascent was made by a flight of narrow steps at the top of which was a small door for The first minister called to Derry was William Bertram, duly and formally installed in 1732. The congregation paid him sixty pounds a year in hemp, linen, com, yarn and the use of a farm. He served Derry until his death which oc-curred in 1746. The Rev. William Bertr ram's successors were Elders Roan, Snow-den, Williams, Adais, Sharon, Boggs and the last to be heard in the old church was the Rev. A. D. Mitchell, who preached as late as 1874. Beautiful memorial windows were placed in the new church by the friends and descendantso f these pastors. The pastor's study or school house was a small plain building standing ten yards or more from the meeting house, in which the minister taught the children of the parish. This building is in good preservation to this day. About forty yards from the church, lies the old grave-yard. It was substantially enclosed by a stone wall in 1862, gates were provided and every mark of respect shown to the mothers and fathers of a noted people. We quote from Egle's "Notes and Queries" concerning this old wall.' "Sume of thirty-nine pound, Good money of Pensl to be paid when the work is doen and fully Compleated in a work-manlake manor as affbresaid." James Galbraith and the Rev. William Bertram whose graves are marked by flat marble slabs in the southwest comer of the grave yard, are direct ancestors of James G. Blaine and William McKinley. In the new church which was built on the site of the old can be seen two walnut chairs and table belonging to the old meet-ing house, also a pewter communicaservice bearing the stamp of the manufacturer and the date of 1783. The present pastor of the church is the Rev. R. H. Taylor. Doctor Stewart, president of Auburn Seminary, Auburn, N. Y., will be the principal speaker at the anniversary service. The anniversary committee consists of G. C. Phillips, A. Bowman Snavely, John H. Cope, Mrs. Irvin Slesser and Miss Lydia Weltmer. They have sent out a request that any one who has any relics or anything which may be of interest to the 200th anniversary and is willing to let them be displayed, will kindly inform the committee or bring them to the church before June 20. State Ponce Break Up Obnoxious Practice A young fellow of eighteen years stand-ing on the comer of Chocolate and Cocoa Avenues, with a number of others, on Sunday whiled away his time passing unseemingly remarks about the passersby, particularly about the young women, interspersed with a few choice bits of profanity. Two young women took ex-ception to his remarks, and as a result made a complaint to the State Police. This young fellow, feeling his eighteen years and his superior importance, en-deavored to argue the matter with the Police, but as the officer was not in an argumentative mood, our gay young fellow soon found himself in the town's lockup, and before he was again set at liberty was fined $8.00. Furthermore, upon his appearance at the Factory, he received his walking papers. This practice of certain young men ?lathering on the street corners and in rant of the public buildings of the town, has been commented upon on several instances in these columns, but seemingly nothing was ever done in the matter, Tor the nuisance has been ever prevalent. We are glad that we have the State Police so close at hand, and with a few more fellows given a taste of the Law, we are sure this obnoxious practice will soon be a thing of the past. Hershey Car penters Do A Good Night's Work Owing to the delay in the arrival of the chairs to be placed in the Hershey Con-vention Hall quite a bit of uncertainty and anxiety prevailed among the Brethren, and the management of Hershey Park. Things looked very gloomy. However, every cloud has its silvery lining, for the chairs came in on Wednesday. To get these unloaded and placed in posi-tion for the Conference was another matter. But the man of the hour was on the job, and R. W. Glace called his men together and with his irrepressible smile, good cheer and blue prints started to do things. All Wednesday night they toiled, with Mr. Glace ever neat arid ever ready with a kindly word and with his blue prints, and when Old Sol peeped over the hills Mr. Glace and his men gave him a rousing cheer even tho they were heavy laden with sleep and tired of muscle, elated however that the 1042 chairs had been placed in position and that all was well. The placing of these chairs in the Her-shey Convention Hall, and the new maple flooring, has made a wonderful improve-ment to this already handsome and impos-ing edifice, With the placing of the sound-ing apparatus above the platform the acoustic properties of the building are well-nigh perfect. With these improve-ments made the Hershey Convention Hall stands peer of any in all Pennsylvania. Five Hershey Men A-Fishing Go Five fresh water fishermen, Admiral Trump, Jacob Weber, Hobart Hoy, Elmer Reidel and Uriah Hoerner, known far and wide throughout Lebanon Valley for their skill in pulling out the trout, the catfish and the sucker, tried new and larger waters to conquer over the week-end, going to Bars Beach, Delaware. All went well until the fishing smack got near the three-mile limit) and the wild waves, the sea air and the tossing of the smack made Admiral Trump ana Jacob Weber lose their enthusiasm and for the remainder of the day they fed the fish Instead of catching them. The other three celebrities continued their efforts , and as a result captured 130 croakers. The captain of the fishing smack to show them that there were other fish In the ocean, brought forth a large " sea trout. However, he cheerily gave our fisherman much encour-agement, telling them that they did quite well for the firstHlme and that on their next trip, which ho hoped would be soon as he liked their company and the chocolate that they brought with them, they might expect to be better rewarded. MENNON1TES WILL HOLD SERVICE SUNDAY The Reformed Mennonitca will hold services Sunday evening, June 15th, at Derr y Churc h, at 7 o'clock. Jonas Anthes from Humbcrstone, Canada, will preach. Everybody most cordially invited. MR. J. E. SNYDER ELECTED AS TRUSTEE AND DIRECTOR Mr. J. E. Snyder was re-elected as true-tee of Muhlenberg College at the Lutheran Mlnlaterlum of Pennsylvania and adjacent held at Bethlehem last week. He was also elected director of the proposed Women's College. ' Ye Editor Hears From Union Deposit Union Deposit, Pa. June 6, 1924. Editor of Hershey Press: Dear Editor: Speaking of baseball teams, sports and players, Hershey has one of the poorest outfits of any in the state of Pennsylvania.. In your latest edition of. the "Hershey Press" I notice you mention every player's name but one and he deserves more credit than any of the players you have praised so highly. I speak of pitcher John Hanshue, of Union Deposit. He has the "stuff" and sticking qualities, but your team behind him played like a bunch of school girls. On Decoration Day when he was put into the box to relieve Ream only one man talked to him and that was Ream. Is that sportsmanship? I'll say not. In Saturday's game with the Lebanon Orioles the first inning closed with the score, Lebanon, 3, Hershey 1. Those three runs were the fault of the players hot the pitcher. Bordner had an easy double play but he threw the ball to first instead. Then came a drive to center with Miller almost outside of the hedges. He should have been playing where the ball dropped. Stover is a good pitcher among school boys but among men "nix." When Hershey and Hershey players come out of their swell-headedness they may have a ball team and not until then. There were more sports from Union Deposit at the Saturday's game than there were from Hershey, Hummelstown and Palmyra combined. But then we are a small town and not worthy of mention. But we are more loyal to the Hershey team than the Hershey people are. Now print this if you dare. Yours truly, Bing Snyder, Union Deposit, Pa. (We are glad to print Mr. Snyder's letter, and we don't do so on a dare, for the columns of the "Press" are open to our readers at all times. In fact, we solicit your contributions. All that we ask of you is to sign your name. Mr. Snyder is rather severe with us. It was our plan to give Hanshue a boost in our baseball notes, but unfortunately "ye editor" last week was ordered home by "ye worthy doctor" and was not in the humor to continue his literary effusions. Moreover, "ye editor" did not see the game on Saturday afternoon as he was planting his corn. But we did hear about Hanshue's work, and a critic, who knows baseball players when he sees them tells us that the Union Deposit lad has the making of a real baseball pitcher, with the proper coaching. This is also what we said about Stover. But Hershey cannot depend on embryo pitchers—it will need at least another pitcher, and with Hanshue and Stover as substitutes, the team should be able to give a good account of itself. We don't believe that the Hershey team is swell-headed, in fact, we believe it is just the opposite. The team is doing its very best to deliver the goods. The weather has been against the team, preventing them doing any work, consequently they have not been able to do justice to them-selves as players or as a team. We are glad that the Union Deposit people are supporters of the team. The management and players appreciate this support, we are sure, and we trust that it will continue. We realize that the Her-shey people haven't as yet become en-thused over the team, but give us time. We believe the town will give a good ac-count of itself, as will Palmyra and Hum-melstown, as well as Campbelltown, Sand Beach, Hockersville and Cozy Village. So let us not begin to find fault with the team so early in the season, but let us give the boys a. chance, and let us one and all give them our loyal support and encourage-ment.] Kiddies Go On Picnic On Thursday morning of last week the Kindergarten children, taught by Miss Margaret Good, participated in a picnic at Hershey Park. On Friday a party was given at the Kindergarten rooms. There were songs and games, followed by ice cream and cake, and each child received a little basket filled with candy. The Kindergarten will open on Septem-ber 8th. The children present at the picnic and party were: Ruth Christ. Virginia Phillips, George Zimmerman, Adelia Slesser, Avis Ensminger, Earl Mays, Richard Knoll, Paul Bruoaker, Adele Stanley, Charles Hellman, Richard King, Bobby Hoy, Billy Hoy, Sarah Bordner, Leanna Cinder and Florence Leyba. FIREMEN PLAN FOR TWO-DAY SESSION More than forty-five fire companies and fir emen's organizations will be represented at Mkklletown at the opening session of the Sixth Annual Convention of the Dauphin County Volunteer Firemen's Association, scheduled for Friday, June 13, The initial meeting of the series of the two-day gathering will be held in the pavilion at Hoffcr Park, at 10 o'clock in the morning and will be followed by meetings during the day. A feature of the convention will be the parade on Saturday afternoon, June 14, in which many fire companies of Dauphin County will be represented with a large number of fire fighters aa well as visiting apparatus In line.

FOLTZ REUNION All Foltz or descendants of tho Foltz families, of whatever families, are invited to attend,a Foltz reunion on Thursday.

Bring basket, The Old Homestead" Is Wonderful Play Many plays have come and gone since 1886, and many more will come and go but "The Old Homestead'' is certain to keep right on going until the end of time. That is because the basic elements of its story are deep-rooted in a truthful adherence to human nature—and when a play is so convincingly true to life, it deserves all, the success it enjoys. "The heart throb of a nation" is the way in which many keen critics have summed up the everlastingly popular appeal of Denman Thompson's classic, of New England life, "The Old Homestead", which the Ella Kramer Stock Co. will produce at the Hershey Park Theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 16th, 17th and 18th. After all is said and done, that phrase embodies the biggest point in the play which has the reputation of having been witnessed by more people than any other stage entertainment ever written in the history of the world. "The Old Home-stead" reaches deep down into the fibers of human nature. It plays upon your emo-tions as a master violinist would play upon the strings of his instrument. You will laugh, you will cry, you will be thrilled, shaken, stirred and at the final curtain, you will go home rejoicing that such a play as "The Old Homestead" exists, with its cheerful, optimistic note and the message that sends a shaft of sunlight right into the heart of every member of the audience. For those who have seen it before, it still holds its perennial charm and allure. For those who have come to regard "The Old Homestead" as a truly American institu-tion, and have seen it not once but dozens of times, there will be heightened enjoy-ment and contrast to be gained through the fact that their favorite artists of the players will be found in the various roles which they know and love so well. For those very few playgoers who have, through-some unfortunate reason or other, never seen 'The Old Homestead", all that can be said is that they are in for a delect-able treat, one they will never forget, and they are certain to join the ranks of the older generation of Americans, who love and reverence "The Old Homestead" and pay homage to it every chance they get to witness it.

Rims A Train On Dried Milk As Fuel Fancy a locomotive being run on milk— an engine pulling a train of five cars for a distance of six miles! That feat was performed last week. The occasion was a practical demonstration of the value of milk as fuel, conducted by Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, Health Commis-sioner of Chicago. Two hundred persons rode in the five railroad coaches. The sole fuel was dried milk, worked into lumps about four inches in diameter, approximately the same size as locomotive coal. Calculations show that this sub-stance has about the same heat value as medium grades of coal. A "Warmed-up" engine was taken. The steam gauge registered 135. Then 125 pounds of the lumped milk was shoveled in and began to bum vigorously. When the gauge touched 200, Dan Haggerty, the engineer, opened the throttle and the first train ever operated with milk as a fuel was speeding on its way.

On Saturday afternoon of last week the Hershey baseball team defeated the Mt. Holly team at Mt. Holly by the score of 8-1 Ream pitched an almost invincible game, well-supported by Zimmerman, who caught a splendid game. The hit that brought in the run for Mt. Holly was a difficult try for Bordner, who just had a slight touch of the ball from his out- Stretched hand. A sacrifice brought in the lone run. After that, there wasn't any-thing to it. Hershey had three men on base in the first inning, but Wagner was too anxious, and was retired. Wagner put up a great game at second, and with him holding down this important position, the infield will be considerably strengthened. Bill Leithiser put up a great game at first, gathered" them in like a big Leaguer, and at the bat slammed out a three-bagger also a single. The team with a little more opportunity at practice will soon be in splendid shape. Taking everything in consideration the work accomplished so far has been simply unprecedented. The team goes to Colum-bia on Saturday, when a great game is anticipated. & The score is as follows: HERSHEY ABR H O A E MUler.cf 5 1 - 1 1 0 0 Bordner, ss 4 1-1 0 1 0 Albert, 3b 4 1 1 0 2 0 Ream.p 2 1 1 1 3 0 Wagner, 2b 4 1 0 5 3 0 Zimmerman, c 4 1 1 8 3 1 Gingrich, If 4 1 1 10 0 Leithiser, lb 4 1 211 0 0 Henry, rf 4 0 1 0 0 0 Total 33 8 927 12 1 MT.
