Hershe y Nation al Bank to Begin Business in Near Future The Hershey National Bank has been authorized by the Comptroller of the Treasury Department of Washington, D. C, to commence the business of banking in accordance with the laws of the U. S. The Hershey National Bank has been organized to take over the commercial banking business heretofore carried on by the Hershey Trust Company, which will hereafter confine its activities to trust and other fiduciary matters, that of executor, administrator, trustee, guardian, asignee, and the loaning of money upon mortgages and other real estate securities. As a National Bank this institution will be connected with the Federal Reserve, which gives added strength and a widened scope of service. The capital stock of the Hershey Nation-al Bank is $125,000.00, with a paid in surplus of $25,000.00 divided into 1250 shares of the par" value of $100.00 each making the actual value thereof at the time it begins business $120.00 per share. The capital stock of the Hershey Trust Company is $125,000.00 divided into 2500 shares of the par value of $50.00 each. During the penod it has been engaged in business the company has accumulated, to April 9, 1925, a surplus of $125,000.00 and undivided profits o' $401,195.98. The book value of its shares therefore is $260.- 48. Owing to the investments of the company being of greater value than the book value, the actual value of the shares of stock is greater than the book value thereof, and is approximately $300.00 per share. The actual value is now being determined by an appraisement, the result of which the stockholders will be informed later. It has been decided to take over from the present shareholders their shares of stock at the present value, determined as above stated. - Each present holder of shares: of the Hershey Trust Company will have the opportunity to take the same par value of shares of The Hershey National Bank, that is, one-half of the number of shares which he now holds of the Hershey Trust Company, but not exceeding ten shares. After the present shareholders of Her-shey Trust Company have presented their shares as stated, and have exercised or failed to exercise the privilege of pur-chasing shares of capital stock in The Hershey National Bank, the shares not taken will be available for purchase by those who have not been heretofore holders of stock of Hershey Trust Company, but are desirous of and have made application for shares of stock in the Hershey National Bank. The Hershey National Bank will begin business on or as early as conveniently can be after May 1st, 1925. Cocoa and Chocolate Manufacturers Elect Officers H. C.

In the absence of the president, Mr. Gallagher, the vice-president, Mr. Murrie, presided. Aside from the usual routine reports of officers, there was a lengthy discussion regarding the efforts of the Traffic Com-mittee during the past year to secure lower ratings oiv cocoa beans and chocolate products. It was pointed out that the existing freight ratings were established many years ago when the value was higher and the volume vastly smaller, and that today cocoa beans and cocoa and choco-lates products are paying much higher rates than justified by the present value and volume, especially in comiwrison with other commodities of like nature for classi-fication purposes. The efforts- to secure just rates from the railroads will be con-tinued.

Monkey Visits "Fat " Horstick and Work Ceases On Tuesday evening, near midnight, "Fat" Horstick and his co-laborers in the milk Condensing department of the Her-shey Chocolate Company, saw a strange creature jump thru one of the windows and climb up to the ceiling. Immediately there was considerable excitement, and thoughts of work were at an end, that is for the time being, for one and all joined in the pursuit of the strange creature. This was easier said than done, for he gave them a mighty chase. After much scurrying here and there a lucky thrust of a club by one of the pur-suers laid low the intruder, when it was found that the strange creature was a monkey. He was, for the time being, placed in a bag, but "Fat", taking compassion on the monkey, placed it in his locker, where Mister Monkey soon revived and began to sit up and take notice of things around and about it. "Fat" offered the monkey a cake of chocolate, which was eaten with great enjoyment, and right then and there "Fat" and the monkey became fast friends. The monkey, presumably is a pet of some one, for it has a band around its neck. It is thought that the monkey belongs to the Sheesley Shows, which is now playing in Harrisburg, and which passed through here on Sunday evening. Evidently, the monkey liked chocolate and thought he would stop off and make a visit. His visit will be of quite some duration, unless his owner shows up, for his future home will be in the Hershey Zoo.

JackieCoo gan iV'Little Robinson Crusoe " Saturda y Evening What has turned out to be Jackie Coo-gan 's most entertaining picture will be seen at the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening, May 2d, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock. Its title is "Little Robinson Crusoe," written especially for the little star by Willard Mack , who has let his imagination run rampant in working out a plausible and suitable story for Jackie. The story has to do with Jackie , who plays Mickey Ilogan , orphaned son of a San Francisco police hero. He sets out from San Francisco on a tramp' steamer bound for Australia to visit his aunt. When they reach the tropics, however, a typhoon wrecks and sinks the ship, taking down nil on board with the exception of Mickey and a black cat, who drift away on an improvised raft and strike the shores of a tropica l isle. Then come cannibals, and Satan, in all his demoniac glory, after he beholds the doings of little Robinson on the tropica l man-eating island, will hide bis face in shame. For Jackie starts the ball rolling and keens everyone busier than a vagrant pup with a pedigreed herd of ileas parking on him. Imagine, embraced in the setting of one picture—San Francisco's ]>olice force , the 11. S. Marines, shipwrecks, cannibals, monkeys, black cats, and you may expect most, anything—especially when such a mischevious son of Erin as Mickey Ilogan is let loose among cannibals. The splendid supporting cast includes Tom Siintschi, Gloria Gruy, Will Walling, Bert Sprotle, Noble Johnson , Tote Du-crow and C. II. Wilson. "Little Robinson Crusoe" was jicrsonnlly sui|x;rvised by Jack Coogan, Sr. Makin g Alterations at Lutheran Church The plans have been completed and the work bejhm on the reuovi.thig and.beauti-fy lug of the basement of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. TIiIh part of the church is used by the primary ond beginn-ers detriments of the Sunday School and for the meetings of the organizations of the church. Since the church has been built a w<xh1 floor has been used and has served its purpose. A concrete floor is now being laid over which will be placed a heavy linoleum, The walls and woodwork are being painted and the basement in general teiutllied unci made attractive for the little folks of the Sunday School. This is the first step in the plans for the beautify-ing and enlarging of Holy Trinity Church, Entertains Choir Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Crauff , of East Granada Avenue, entertained the members of the Holy Trinity Lutheran Choir on Thursday evening, April 23d.

A noble plant, to thee more power, Dandelion, my dandelion; You make the most enticing greens Cooked with salt pork and laid between? Thick home-made bread—a dish for queens Dandelion, my dandelion. You have some other uses, too, Dandelion, my dandelion! They say you make O. K. home brew, Dandelion, my dandelion! But as for this I cannot vouch, On spirits matters I'm a grouch, At liquid measure I'm a slouch. Dandelion, my dandelion. Down in these parts they eat you raw, Dandelion, my dandelion. On thee I love to clamp my jaw. Dandelion, my dandelion. You are a most delicious food When dolled up raw or nicely stewed,— I'm going to find out how you're brewed. Dandelion, my dandelion! Another of our kindly kritics objects to our consistent mention of home brew and the pre-Volstedian epoch of American History. We appreciate this little bit of Kaustic Komment and in the future will restrain our discussion of wine as much as possible, and will devote most of our space to vinegar, women and song. Fable Once upon a time there was a little boy who insisted that his mama wash his ears every morning before he started for school. "Maxwelton's braes are bonny Where early fa's the dew, And 'twas there that Annie Laurie Gied me her promise true." Sandy was a typical Scotchman and when he came to this country and bought a mule, he named her Maxwleton because her brays were bonny. Time and Change has put another one over on us. Time was when this season oi the year marked for the country boy and girl the entrance upon a new freedom. Along about late April or early May, ac-cording to the climate and the protective instinct of his mother, the American boy, after several weeks of teasing, was per-mitted to shed his underwear, and his footwear, and to feel for the first time in many months the cool caress of the grasses beneath his feet. Them days is gone forever. Nowadays only the destitute are fortunate enough to go barefoot. What we would like to see adopted as a fad , after the girls get fed upon gadding around in flesh colored stockings and in no stockings at all, is a barefoot craze. This, if we have patience may eventually come to pass. And when it does, oh boy! Won't nature be grand? These girls that we see strolling out toward Sand Beach of a Sunday, so intent on the beauties of nature, will have to watch out lest they stub their nicely pedicured toes and, hopping along on one foot, use such language as will make old Noah Webster turn over in his grave. Doc Drake of Liberty Cross Roads says if any doctor is going to succeed he must have patience (patients). "Well," said the Man with the Cedar Chest, "I hear your daughter has come home from school. You must be glad to have her with you again." "Yes," said the Man with the Wooden Leg, "she's been finishing, and it sure cost a heap of money, but it ain 't been wasted. We're very proud of her,—she scarcely speaks to maw and I any more." Eph Soper of Skinks Corners says he has been bothered to beat the band with rheu-matism this spring and can scarcely hobble around , but when he goes to Harrisburg and tries dodging across the street he forgets all about the kinks in his back. A Wet Blanket Item in Cider Press, Apple Hill's Leading Weekly Pa|>er: At the town hall last evening an en-joyable evening of music was prevented by the Handel Male Quartet . Descriptive The kind of a person who knows the parts of an automobile better tlian the parts of speech. The Fellow that Holds up the Postoflicc says his feet may not look as neat as those of the girl who just passed, but life has its little compensations. I le says he bets his feet are a darned sight more comfortable. Knew Him Well A young man applied to a famous New York editor for a job as editorial writer. Editor : What are your qualifications? Applicant: I know all the literary men of England. Editor : That so? You must know Dickens then. Applicant: I was a reporter with Dickens Editor : And Thackeray ? Applicant: I heljied Thackera y with his Book of Snobs. Editor: And Tennyson? Applicant: I have broken many a pipe with Tennyson. Editor: And George Elliot? Applicant: I roomed with him. Doesn't it seem gixxl , though, after the long winter , made shorter than of old by the radio itnd the cross word puzzle, to get out inLrfY the warm sunshine and play baseball, ' tennis , hike , go fishing, plant garden , or whatever? And Isn 't It a joy to forgo each and every pne of the alxwe mentioned diversions* and help with the house cleaning? Ain 't it fun? The nearest, we ever were to the sea is Sand Bench, )>ut from what we have read of the ocean, some of the coastline is pretty rocky and the waves have cut great cav-erns or grottoes along the shore. And somewhere we have read of little children playing in these grottoes at low tide. When the high tide came In , the children Were trapped and so badly frightened they could not cry out. Sea Grotto At times the waves will slap you on the mouth . The wind is oil your noisy visitor, And once u cotton cargo from the south , Tossed on the rocks, lay broken at your door. Too, hoary Triton once found haven here, Foiling the fury of the hungry sea, When ho had lashed It with his threc-nronged s|)cnr, Till it broke bonds a moment and was free. At times the waves wilt steal up quietly, And stealthily the salt will climb the wall, Let it creep up, no children of the sea Find exit vain, and lout their voice to call *t" ~ ~ —i —i ,- ~ i • - 1 i > n~> n ~> ii > i nj* | The Smokestack J j $y 'Dee J ay Qee ) J i ~ ii ~i inn hi hi i n > i i «¦ is n i_ ii ->¦ ii t A 'A Maid of Tokyo" Presented by Hershe y High School The pupils of the Hershey High School will present the second performance of a musical comedy in three acts entitled "A Maid of Tokyo", in the Hershey Park Theatre on Friday evening, May 11, under the direction of Mary Gregg Darrow and Leah Burns, for the benefit of the Senior Washington trip fund.

Along about midnight , just as Mr. Snavely was about to retire for the eve-ning, he thought about his car that he had left standing in front of the Winter Dance Hall where, the Fair had been held. Without much ado, he quickly returned to where he had had his car parked, and was much relieved to find it where he had left it. This time he did not walk home.

Hershe y Nation al Bank
to Begin Business
in Near Future
The Hershey National Bank has been
authorized by the Comptroller of the
Treasury Department of Washington, D.
C, to commence the business of banking
in accordance with the laws of the U. S.
The Hershey National Bank has been
organized to take over the commercial
banking business heretofore carried on by
the Hershey Trust Company, which will
hereafter confine its activities to trust and
other fiduciary matters, that of executor,
administrator, trustee, guardian, asignee,
and the loaning of money upon mortgages
and other real estate securities.
As a National Bank this institution will
be connected with the Federal Reserve,
which gives added strength and a widened
scope of service.
The capital stock of the Hershey Nation-al
Bank is $125,000.00, with a paid in
surplus of $25,000.00 divided into 1250
shares of the par" value of $100.00 each
making the actual value thereof at the
time it begins business $120.00 per share.
The capital stock of the Hershey Trust
Company is $125,000.00 divided into 2500
shares of the par value of $50.00 each.
During the penod it has been engaged in
business the company has accumulated,
to April 9, 1925, a surplus of $125,000.00
and undivided profits o' $401,195.98. The
book value of its shares therefore is $260.-
48. Owing to the investments of the
company being of greater value than the
book value, the actual value of the shares
of stock is greater than the book value
thereof, and is approximately $300.00 per
share. The actual value is now being
determined by an appraisement, the
result of which the stockholders will be
informed later. It has been decided to
take over from the present shareholders
their shares of stock at the present value,
determined as above stated. -
Each present holder of shares: of the
Hershey Trust Company will have the
opportunity to take the same par value of
shares of The Hershey National Bank,
that is, one-half of the number of shares
which he now holds of the Hershey Trust
Company, but not exceeding ten shares.
After the present shareholders of Her-shey
Trust Company have presented their
shares as stated, and have exercised or
failed to exercise the privilege of pur-chasing
shares of capital stock in The
Hershey National Bank, the shares not
taken will be available for purchase by
those who have not been heretofore holders
of stock of Hershey Trust Company, but
are desirous of and have made application
for shares of stock in the Hershey National
Bank.
The Hershey National Bank will begin
business on or as early as conveniently can
be after May 1st, 1925.
Cocoa and Chocolate
Manufacturers
Elect Officers
H. C. Gallagher, of Walter Baker & Co.,
Ltd., Dorchester, Mass., was re-elected

Gallagher, the vice-president, Mr. Murrie,
presided.
Aside from the usual routine reports of
officers, there was a lengthy discussion
regarding the efforts of the Traffic Com-mittee
during the past year to secure lower
ratings oiv cocoa beans and chocolate
products. It was pointed out that the
existing freight ratings were established
many years ago when the value was higher
and the volume vastly smaller, and that
today cocoa beans and cocoa and choco-lates
products are paying much higher
rates than justified by the present value
and volume, especially in comiwrison with
other commodities of like nature for classi-fication
purposes. The efforts- to secure
just rates from the railroads will be con-tinued.

Monkey Visits "Fat "
Horstick and
Work Ceases
On Tuesday evening, near midnight,
"Fat" Horstick and his co-laborers in the
milk Condensing department of the Her-shey
Chocolate Company, saw a strange
creature jump thru one of the windows and
climb up to the ceiling.
Immediately there was considerable
excitement, and thoughts of work were at
an end, that is for the time being, for one
and all joined in the pursuit of the strange
creature. This was easier said than done,
for he gave them a mighty chase.
After much scurrying here and there a
lucky thrust of a club by one of the pur-suers
laid low the intruder, when it was
found that the strange creature was a
monkey.
He was, for the time being, placed in a
bag, but "Fat", taking compassion on the
monkey, placed it in his locker, where
Mister Monkey soon revived and began to
sit up and take notice of things around and
about it.
"Fat" offered the monkey a cake of
chocolate, which was eaten with great
enjoyment, and right then and there "Fat"
and the monkey became fast friends.
The monkey, presumably is a pet of
some one, for it has a band around its
neck. It is thought that the monkey
belongs to the Sheesley Shows, which is
now playing in Harrisburg, and which
passed through here on Sunday evening.
Evidently, the monkey liked chocolate
and thought he would stop off and make a
visit. His visit will be of quite some
duration, unless his owner shows up, for
his future home will be in the Hershey Zoo.

played , centers leading, followed by

JackieCoo gan iV'Little
Robinson Crusoe "
Saturda y Evening
What has turned out to be Jackie Coo-gan
's most entertaining picture will be
seen at the Hershey Central Theatre on
Saturday evening, May 2d, at 6.30 and
8.30 o'clock. Its title is "Little Robinson
Crusoe," written especially for the little
star by Willard Mack , who has let his
imagination run rampant in working out a
plausible and suitable story for Jackie.
The story has to do with Jackie , who
plays Mickey Ilogan , orphaned son of a
San Francisco police hero. He sets out
from San Francisco on a tramp' steamer
bound for Australia to visit his aunt.
When they reach the tropics, however, a
typhoon wrecks and sinks the ship, taking
down nil on board with the exception of
Mickey and a black cat, who drift away on
an improvised raft and strike the shores of
a tropica l isle.
Then come cannibals, and Satan, in all
his demoniac glory, after he beholds the
doings of little Robinson on the tropica l
man-eating island, will hide bis face in
shame. For Jackie starts the ball rolling
and keens everyone busier than a vagrant
pup with a pedigreed herd of ileas parking
on him.
Imagine, embraced in the setting of one
picture—San Francisco's ]>olice force , the
11. S. Marines, shipwrecks, cannibals,
monkeys, black cats, and you may expect
most, anything—especially when such a
mischevious son of Erin as Mickey Ilogan
is let loose among cannibals.
The splendid supporting cast includes
Tom Siintschi, Gloria Gruy, Will Walling,
Bert Sprotle, Noble Johnson , Tote Du-crow
and C. II. Wilson. "Little Robinson
Crusoe" was jicrsonnlly sui|x;rvised by
Jack Coogan, Sr.
