Fortunes To Be Given
Away Saturda y
On Saturday evening fortunes will be
given away at the Hershey Central Thea-tre
to every persons in attendance when
J ack Holt will be seen in "A Gentleman In
Leisure. "
Squnds too good to be true , but it is
true nevertheless. You may not be able to
cash in on the fortune immediately, but it
has possibilities.
The fortunes that will be given away will
consist of a 100,000 marks bill, worth
$24,000 (before the war). If you keep this
bill long enough, and if German y ever gets
back on its feet again and redeems its
currency, you will be able to live on easy
street for the rest of your days.
These fortunes are now in possession of
Mr . Russel Zentmeyer. He never has had
so much money in his possession in all his
life, and he is losing sleep—for if he loses
this money he will have to make good, for
it cost the Hershey Central Theatre a good
American dollar for about 10,000,000,000
of these marks.
As it is, these marks will make good
souvenirs—so be on hand Saturda y night
and get yours.
Jack Holt In "A
Gentleman Of Leisure"
Waterloo Station , London , one of the
largest railr oad terminals in the world , is
the scene of the opening episodes of the
Paramount picture , "A Gentleman of
Leisure ," stairing J ack Holt , which comes
to the Hershey Central Theatre on Satu r-day
evening, Jan. 26th.
This introductory scene, quite unusual
in motion pictures, presents to the audience
the principal players of the production
right at the start. This is described by all
who have had previews of the picture as a
decided novelty. Never before has any
production so employed this idea.
In the station, Jack Holt, playing Robert
Willoughby Pitt , a young gentleman of
wealth and leisure , is seen biddin g his
friends good-by . Sir Spencer Deever,
nephew of Lord and Lad y Blount , whose
wish it is to secure for "Spennie" a wealthy
wife and thus save them from financial
disaster, also are present. But Sir Spencer
has ideas of his own, and among the chorus
girls wh) have come to see Pitt off to the
States , Spennie has selected one as his
choice for a wife.
It is in this station, also, that some of the
big scenes in the picture occur , among them
Holt's wager tha t he will catch his train
long af ter the entran ce gates have been
closed,—his stop en-route to participate in
a dice game, and finally, his thrilling pur-suit
and catchin g of the train near the end
of the runwa y.
"A Gentleman of Leisure is a comedy-drama
, adapted from the stage plan by
J ohn Stapleton and P. G. Wodehouse.
J oseph Henaber y directed. The support-ing
cast headed by Sigrid Holmquist ia
except ionall y stron g.

Hershey, Cuba Now
Shipping Sugar
The two sugar mills at Hershey, Cuba ,
have begun to grind the crop of 1924 and
shipments are now being received at the
Hershey Chocolate factory.
The sugar mill that was erected by Mr.
M. S. Hershe y at Hershe y, Cuba , which is
the "show place" of the island and which is
visited by thousands of tourists every
winter , has a capacit y of 200,000 bags of
white sugar for the grindin g season, or
65,000,000 pounds of sugar. The sugar
mill on the Rosario plantation; which was
on the plantation when Mr. Hershey
bought it, has a capacity of 250,000 bags of
raw sugar , or 72,250,000 pounds , totaling
13^250,000 pounds of sugar for the grind-ing
season.
Cuba will harves t a crop of 3,750,000
tons for the year 1924, which is 147,000
tons larger than last year . This does wot
indicate that sugar will be cheaper than
last year. In fact, the price for granula ted
sugar is very apt to be established for some
time in the neighborhood of 8 to 10 cents
per pound.
The sugar plantations at Hershe y, Cuba ,
consist of 45,000 acres. Five thousand
persons are employed at the two mills and
on the plantations during the grinding sea-son,
which starts January 1st. and con-tinues
until the crop is ground, a period of
not longer than six months.
The rou te of the cane from the planta-tion
to the null is a combination of the
picturesque and the prosaic . The railroad
penetrates only to certain convenient
centers, or loading points. Beyond these ,
the cane comes in from the fields piled high
in rough but rugged two-wheeled carts ,
drawn by plodding oxen, three yokes of
animals to each cart.
Cuban negroes, usually coal black , hoist
the cane on board the carts in the fields,
after the cane cutters have gone through
the planta tion, cutting great swaths of the
cane. But at the loading stations where
the cane is transferred from the cart to the
train , a quick-moving overhead crane
device lifts the entire bundle out of the cart
at one sweep and deposits it on the waiting
railroad car.
Then the swift journe y over the rail s to
the mills begins, and upon its arrival the
cars are placed alongside a dumping plat-form
, and the cane is dumped into a huge
pit. The sides of the cars are so arranged
that by unfas tening a steel rod the entire
side of the car swings out and the cane
topples over into the dumping pit.
From the dumping pit the cane is carried
up to the 16-roll grinding unit , and the
cane passes throu gh giant steel rollers,
every ounce of the cane juice being ex-tracted,
which constitutes about 80 per
cent, of the weight of cane. The pulp that
is left te conveyed to the boilers and is used
as fuel.
The juice is now ready for the clarifica-tion
process, flows into large tanks where it
is properly tempered with milk of lime,
neutralizin g the destruc tive acids present,
coagulating the albumin and purifying the
juice.
The juice is then heated to the boiling
point and then run into large settling
tanks of 8,000 gallons capacity. In these
settling tanks , known as defecators , all of
the sediment and impuri ties settle to the
bottom of the tanks.
The clear juice is then drawn off and the
sediment is sent to the filter presses where
the contained sugar liquor is separa ted, the
remainin g sediment is dumped into cars
and is taken to the plantation fields where
it is used as fertilizer.
The juice from the filter presses joins the
juice from the settling tanks, flowin g into
the evaporators, where it is concentrated
into syrup. This syrup is then pumped
into the vacuum pans where the crystalli-zation
of the sugar is effected.
The crystallized mass, still soft and
damp, owing to the fact that molasses is
present , goes to the centrifugal machines.
These machines consist of a lar ge cylindri-cal
basket with screen sides. Centrifu gal
force drives the molasses into the outer
receptacle, leaving the raw sugar inside the
baske t. The basket is spun at a speed of
from 1000 to 1200 revolu tions a minute,
until a considerable amount of the molasses
is thrown off.
The molasses that is thrown off ia com-bined
with addi tional syrup, and it again
goes through the process. Upon the third
and last time it is combined with additional
syrup, the molasses havin g reached the
maximum point of crystallization or ex-haus
tion of its sugar content. This is
called final molasses, which is sold to the
distillers for the manufacture of alcohol.
The sugar thus produced is packed in
bags weighing 325 pounds , and Is shipped
from Hershe y, "the sugar town," on the
Hcrshey-Cuban railr oad to the docks at
Havana where it is loaded on ships for its
trip to Hershe y, Pa. , "the chocolate and
cocoa town. "

MEN'S BIBLE CLASS HOLD
MEETING *
The Men 's Bible Class of the First U. B.
Sunday School held their re gular monthly
meeting on Thursda y evenin g, Jan. 17th.
in the Winter Dance Hall , a goodly number
bein g present. Plans were made to have
the Lebanon Valley Glee Club present a
concert in the Horshe y Central Theatre,
Thursday i evenin g, Feb, 7th. Member-shi
p talks were given by the pastor , Rev.
A. G. Nye and superintendent , J. R. Zoll.
in which deep interest was manifested and
were enthusiastically received. After the
transaction of other business the meetin g

"Nothing But the Truth at
Central Theatre Next Thursda y
A farcial home talent comedy entitled
"Nothing But the Truth" , in three acts,
will be played in Hershey Central Theatre ,
Thursda y evening, Jan. 31, under the
auspices of the John Elder Men's Bible
Class of Deny Presbyterian Chu rch. This
is being played under the very capable and
efficient direction of Miss Gregg Darrow.
The curtain will rise promptl y at 8.00
o'clock
. "Nothin g But the Truth " is built upon
the simple idea of its hero speaking nothing
but the absolute truth for a stated period.
He bets a friend ten thousand dollars that
he can do it, and boldly tackle s truth to
win the money. For a very short time the
task is placidly easy, but Truth routs out
Old Man Trouble and then thin gs begin to
happen. Trouble doesn't seem very large
and aggressive when he fir st pokes his nose
into the noble resolve of our hero, but he
growns ra pidly and soon we see our dealer
in truth disruptin g the domestic relations
of his partner. In fact , Trouble works
overtime, and reputations that have been
unblemished are smirched. Situations
that are absurd and complications almost
knotted , pile up, all credi ted to Tru th, and
the resul t of the wager to foster and cherish
that great virtue from the lips of the man
who had espoused the cause of tru th to win
the wager.
It is a novel idea and so well has it
worked out that an audience is kept in
throes of laughter at the seemingly im-possible
task to untangle snarl s into which
our hero has involved all those he comes in
contact with. It is a clean, bri ght farce of
well-known charac ters and was built for
laughing pur poses only.
William Collier played "Nothing But
the Truth " for a year at the Longacre
Theatre, New York , and it has been on
toiir for over two seasons .

William Russel In
'Times Have Changed"
'Time was," aa the illustrated history
books would say, "when every American
town and village had its quilting parties
durin g the winter months. " But times
have chan ged since grandma was a girl , and
the only patch quilts seen today are those
in antique shops, historical museums or
treasured as heirlooms by the descendants
of the first families of the land .
An old Salem quilt plays an important
part in the story of the latest William Fox
production , 'Times Have Changed ,"
which stars William Russell. The quilt is
given to the niece of the owner as a wedding
present. When the family heirloom is
loaned by the husband to a friend in New
York a series of dramatic incidents develop
in which the quilt has an importan t role.
This picture brings out numerous comedy
characterizations which should delight all
the Russell fans.
The accidents which befall the quilt are
as many and multicolored as the patches in
the quilt itself. It is stolen , diamonds are
hidden in its homely folds, it is found and
lost, placed on sale and sold. It is a cork
tossed hither and thither whither the ocean
of life deems best to cast it.
"Times Have Chan ged" is by far the
best Russell picture to be ann ounced for
the Hershey Central Theatre , where it will
be shown on Tuesda y evening, Ja n. 29th.
Mabel Julienne Scott plays opposite the
star. The picture was directed by Jame s
Flood.

ray Or Go To Jail
Is Ultimatum
More than 4000 delinquen t taxpayers of
Ardmore, half of whom are women, face
jail unless they "pay up" by Feb. 1st.
The jail threat was made by the Magis-tra
te Stillwagon after his constables had
reported some of their difficulties in con-vincing
delinquents tha t the tax must be
paid.
"Under the law we can send delinquent
taxpayers to jail and keep them there until
they have paid," said Mr. Stillwagon.
"Not only can we send them to jail , but we
can levy against their personal property,
and we're going to do it.
"Women's chief argument," he said, is
that they do not vote. When it is ex-plained
to them that the tax is not a poll
tax they declare it is perfectly proper for
men to pay such a tax , as they are wage
earners , but they can't see why women
should be put upon like basis by the town-ship.
The clinging argument, said Mr. Still-wagon,
is: "Well, Mrs. So-and-So hasn't
paid and I won't pay if she doesn't. It' s
all silly, anyway."
The delinquents now being summoned
to hearin gs before the magistrate must pay
$2.50 costs in addition to the $2.43 tax. If
they fail to appear at the firs t hearin g the
costs go up, $3.75 to $4.50 being charged
for the work of collection. If they fail to
appear at a hearin g a levy will be made on
their personal property and if the constable
fails to find anything belonging to them
they will be arrested and sent to jail.
' On Februar y I am going to ask Captain
Donaghy to sweep out a few cells in the
Ardmore police station ," said Mr. Still-wagon.
I don't think it will take more
than a few hours' in jail to convince the
delinquents it is their duty to pay taxes."
NOTICE
The Tax Collector has been most lenient
to the delinquent tax payers of Derry
Township. He is compelled by Law to
collect all taxes or else pay them out of his
own pocket. He has withheld the publica-tion
of the list of delinquents, but all those
who have not paid up by Feb. 1st, their
names will be published and payment will
be forced. Unless you want to pay addi-tional
costs, we would advise early pay-ment
being made—otherwise you will land
in the Dauphin County Jail.
Six Projects For

Send Us Your Local Happenings
Dear Editor:
I am exceedingly grateful to know that
the columns of your valuable paper are
open to "your neighbors and friends " for
suggestions. For some time I have been
trying to find a medium through which to
protect the limbs and possibly lives of the
people of East Derry Road. There is a
place on East Derr y Road , just beyond the
Presbyterian Church , at an inter section,
where it is both sad and amusing to see
people seemingly playing hoptoad or leap
frog; when on their way either to or from
work , or going to and from our section of
town to another. This is especially so
durin g inclement weather. I suppose
there had been a pavement there at some
remote period; (I mean a street crossing),
perhaps when the old Session House and
Pastor s Stud y was built . You can find
some litt le evidence by the way of an odd
stone or rock being placed here and there
in a kind of zigzag way across the street,
and which is very misleading indeed;
which trying to effect a passage from what
ought to be a curb to curb . Some of the
ponds or pools between rocks could be
utilized perhaps , by those (Isaac 's), having
a fisherman 's license.
Up until a short time ago there was a
rock left at a most important point ; but I
suppose that the truck driver who tried to
avoid one of the fish-ponds considered it
"Safe ty First " in trying to mount that all
important rock and of cour se that blessed
rock had to move to another location, thus
making a standing long jump impossible to
which all pedestrian s with few exception s
had been well trained.
But now comes the critical or dangerous
part of it; since the last stepping stone is
gone; too fair for stepping or jumping, you
can see both men and women try to dodge
automobiles—because , in order to cross at
that place in bad weather they are obliged
to walk on the public highway .
I do not wish to be sentimental in this,
but , my sentiment is this—, "He lives
most who thinks most, feels the noblest,
acts the best. "

Supervisors will get on the job and improve
this mud hole. We had the pleasure (?) of
walkin g down Derry Road last Saturd ay.
It certainly needs more than one wagon
load of stones.]
Bad Conditions In
East Perr y Road
Awakening Our
~ : Road Supervisors
Fourteen constables filed into court Jasc
week to drone complaints about road
conditions in their distric ts. This is a
familiar bit of red-tap e that seems to get
nowhere. It is a performance of duty, but
as to produci ng results , it is disappointing .
Of quite as much interest as road com-plaints
was the charge that road signs "are
down in all parts of the countr y." This is
an entirely inexcusable situatio n. Some-body
ought to be made to sweat for it.
There was alwa ys a need for these finger-boards
, bu t now more than ever. And once
again the au tomobile is the reason, for it
permits more meanderin g or direct travel
over unfamiliar roads than ever before.
Indexin g of roads at forks and cross-waya
is provided by law in the interest of the
travelin g public. The law ought to be
enforced and instead of the small type
boards that must be read with a magnify-ing
glass they ought to be big enough so
that those who run may read.
Perha ps the quickest way to improve
this situation is to brin g one delinquent
road supervisor into court. It may not be
necessar y then to bring in the others.
—Patrio t
[This criticism would justly appl y to the
road supervisors of thia towns hip. It
might be well for them to get on the job
and improve these conditions. We do not
recollect of ever seeing any road signs in
this township, other than small and
weather-bea ten ones.)
