Work Begun This Week on Lutheran Church Alterations Improvements to Cost $16,000, and When Completed Will Add Another Beautiful and Attractive Build-ing to the Town The work on the alterations and addi-tions to Holy Trinity - Lutheran Church will begin ,this week. The contract for the work has been given to J. H. Greiner '& Co., contractors, of Lebanon, Pa. The plans and specifications were prepare d by Ritcher and Eiler, registered architects of Reading, Pa., and the work will be under their super-vision and direction. The improvements will consist of the demolition of the vestibule and main front wall and the erection of a new front wall with vestibules for entrance to the church leading off Granada avenue and the south side of the church building. The new wall will be built of native limestone with trim-mings of the best grade cast stone in Indiana limestone color, with rubbed finish. The addition will provide two spacious vestibules, a choir room, pastor's study, and additional seating capacity. New art glass windows will be placed in the main wall and everything is to be done to make it a beautiful and attractive subur-ban church. The work on the church is to cost approximately $16,000. The improvements will not interfere with the continuous occupancy and use for worship of the church, a temporary wall will be erected and temporary entrances will be provided. The congregation will be anxiously waiting the completion of the work to rededicate this fine church building to the service and worship of the Lord, also adding another beautiful building to the town. Hersheyite Has His Auto Mired at Fair Pulled from Mud by Tractor. Cars Splattered Mud on Pedestrians. It Was a Lively and Muddy Scene Homer Heisey, employed on the plumb-ing force, was numbered among those who attended the Harrisburg Fair on Monday. Homer was enjoying himself immensely, and was just getting ready to witness the auto races when one of the worst thunder storms of the season, suddenly came up. After the storm was over Homer picked his way through the mud to his Overland and found it, with all the others, stuck hard and fast in thick, clicky clay that refused to let him budge his car an inch. Do what he would, the wheels simply whirred around and dug the hole deeper in which they were buried. Tractors, horses and strong men set to work in order to haul the helpless machines out to hard roads. It was a lively and muddy scene. Cars that were hauled to a minimum degree of safety, splashed out of danger so eagerly that they cared but little for the poor pedestrian scattereds along the way, and more than one re-ceived a mud bath, including Mr. Heisey, in consequence. His blue suit was turned to brown in an instant. Hershey Vol. Fire Co.

Reverie Of a Righteous Bachelor Growing Old I am thinking of the days that are no more, Of the multitude of pleasures I have missed. Of theScotch I might have drunk, of all the girls In fifty years of life I might have kissed. And indeed it seems to me a dirty shame, ' When I ponder how my life has gone to " ¦ ¦ • ' waste, That I've set myself apart from spicy things That would have been, I know, just to my taste. I remember Elsie Nash, ol college days. How one night we met beneath the ev'ning sky, And she offered me a thorough course in love I pleaded an engagement, darned fool, I. This one instance illustrates the way I've dodged Anything that even savored of romance, Now I wish I had been speared by Cupid's dart I never gave the little cuss a chance. All intoxicating liquors 1 have shunned, Though I've had the choicest of them * thrust at me; When I went to banquets where a toast was drunk, I drank my toast in coffee or in tea. Now, too late, I've changed my whole philosophy And declared my rock-ribbed formulas a joke; But they say an old dog can't be taught new tricks, So evenings after work I read and smoke. Why Do They Do It? Labor Day I gave the grass a forty cent hair cut, and, while I was working in front of the cottage small by the waterfall, I could not help noticing the number of cars that drove past the park entrance, backed up and drove in. What I can't understand is why they drove past it and backed up. Why didn't they drive straight in in the first place? There are a lot of things in this world that we can't understand, aren't there, Robert? Celebrating It Right While I was hauling a few potatoes from their dens in the potatoes patch on Labor Day, I overheard a fellow say. to his girl, "What's the matter with that fellow any. way? Ain't he got no religion, working on Labor Day." Well, now that beat anything I ever heard tell of. What in the deuce, Steve do they call it Labor Day for if they don't want you to labor on it? What more dig-nified and fitting way can an office man find to pay homage to the worthwhileness of labor than to celebrate the day in a little back-breaking exercise? Can't think of a comeback right away, can you, Steve? When you do, write and let me know. How to Make Money Here, you young bucks of Hershey and vicinity who are avowedly so anxious to do something for yourselves and be a success in this world , I am offering you free advice as to how to become captains of industry and make your names ring with a mighty clangor down the corridors of time. Brace yourselves! There is no nobler labor than the sal-vaging of those things man has thrown away and turning them again into channels of usefulness to humanity. There are any number of forms of salvage, but here is a good one, a business that can be started without much capital. Secure from the manager of your loca l theatre permission to clean the gum from the undersides of the seats. You will be pleased and surprised to find your efforts rewarded by a goodly quantity of gum in more or less palatable condi tion. Remold and rellavor and re-wrap this product and you have started an industry which is a regular gold mine that never wears out. You're quite welcome, I assure you. Oil , don 't mention it. You say you won't mention it again? More power to your elbows, boys. Go to it. To-night I am looking for company. They should have been here two hours ago. They arc not here yet. Every car that approaches I feel must be my fri end. But every car whizzes past or else turns in at the park. I'll be dawgone if I don 't begin to feel like Belinda waiting for the boy frien ' that never calls no more, or like a religious fanatic waitin g for the end of the world. These end of the world fellows are always sure that the next time is THE time, and so it is with us. We feci that the next car is THE car. But so far it isn 't. The Way It Goes The other evening, reading the paper , I glanced over some baseball clojx; in which was mentioned the name of Joe Shate who is pitching for Cleveland and helping Uhlc keep the team in the race for the |>eiinant. 1 used to go to school with Joe. Quite mi honor to Joe. I shot. |xx>l with him. More honor to the old sixirt. When Joe and I went to normal school, Joe was on the varsity football , basketball and base-hall teams. He was an all round athlete. He played first base on the normal school nine and was second choice for pitcher , but we never dreampt lie would go farther. Now he stands a lighting chance of pitching a world scries game. His hatting average! is among the best of the pitchers in his league. That 's the way it goes in life . The fel-low who shows up well nt the start of the ra ce may not even finish, and Hpme fellow we never even notice may bring home the smoked hog meat. Sign (in Battered Flivver.

Uit 's talk about something plensanler than the winter 's coal anyhow. Why don't more people play tennis this weath er? Tennis is a line s|>ort. And the courts aren't a bit dust y. Ain 't Nature Grand The other day. while ixtnimbuliiling about the country I met. u farmer mid in the rpmse of conversation 1 remarked , as so ninny peoplo have remarked before, "Ain 't nature wonderful?" "Yes." said the farmer, "she sure Is, Each day on my place here when the shadows of evening full all my hens become roosters." The Smokestack 3&'Det Jaii G*e [This poem, dedicated to Milton S. Hershey, was found in a sealed envelope in the desk drawer of the late John Hallgren and is printed in honor of Mr. Hershey's birthday, which is on 13th of this month] Milton Hershey's Birthday I Years ago the sun was creeping, - Skyward like a molten ladle; And its golden to/, were peeping Down at Homestead in a cradle, |. . ** Where a mother's pride was crying; | Who was by all pronounced a dandy; I While the nurse in vain was trying jj To make him quiet with milk and candy. I Milk and candy, as I said it J From his mind you could not move it. | Then and there it seems he made.it g As his future to improve it | And he did it, boiled it, froze it, | Shaped it, wrapped it, everything, D Till as now the whole world knows it, I He is crowned the Chocolate King When toasts are drank round festive table, And speakers tell what they are able; From friendly heart three cheers I give— Hip, hip, hurrahl May long you livet II When this morning sun is creeping Over mountains, woods and valleys, And its golden rays are peeping Over Hershey's maple alleys; Peeping thru the shrubs and bushes All Nature seems to say, As a zephyr gently rushes: This is Milton Hershey's day! Boys, stand up and drain your glasses, Till the wee-est drop is gone; To this giant among the masses Greater than Napoleon. He, who from the rock's foundation, On this tract of virgin soil, Built this pride of habitation, Thru his energy and toil. Here we stand as host of the donor, All of us in Hershey living, Hearty wishes with our honor We sincerely you are giving. "May your years be free of sorrow, Full of happiness and health, And the sunlit sky of morrow , Be the crowning of your wealth 1" HI When this evening sun is sinking Back of mountains, woods and valleys, And the vesper star is blinking Over High Point's solemn alleys; Blinking over shrubs and bushes All Nature seems to say, As a chilly zephyr rushes: "This was Milton Hershey's day!" —JOHN HALLGREN BAND CONCERT AT HERSHEY PARK LEBANON SYMPHONY BAND Johann M.

Never a Chance to Finish a Laugh Before Another Laugh Is on the Way Reginald Denny has definitely taken a position among the very few great co-medians of the screen. He stepped into it first with "Oh Doc-tor." He convinced a great many picture fans of his eligibility in "I'll Show You the Town," "Where Was I," "What Happened to Jones" and other pictures. But in "Rolling Home" his latest Uni-versal production, which will be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday evening, September 14 th , at 7.30 o'clock , he leaves no ground for argument on the question. "Rolling Home" is, without doubt Den-ny 's funniest picture since he stepped into feature farce comedians two years ago, and he has eclipsed all of his previous per-formances. Starting with a bang and a hearty laugh in the opening scene, "Rolling Home" rolls homeward, gathering laughs as it goes, like a snowball gathers snow. Situation is piled upon situation , with the comedy growing at each new scene, until the audience begins to wonder vague-ly if the hero ever can lie extracted from the hopeless tangle in which he hua become involved. CHICKEN AND WAFFLE SUPPER FOR ALWAYS SHINING CLASS 1 he members of the Always Shining Uidies' Bible Class of the First United Brethren Sunday School will journey to Shepherdstown for a chicken and waflle su p|x:r.

Film of College Life Is Full of Infectious Humor. Greatest Football Picture Ever Made. All Star Cast It is pictures like "Brown of Harvard" that are going to prove the salvation of the motion picture industry.' This Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer picture, which will be shows at the Hershey Park Theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, is a good story, exceptionally well told and acted. Conway has directed his story with sympathy and understanding, revealing the intimate lives ot several students of the great university, and neyer allowing his story to become saclnrine or maudlin. Many scenes were evidently taken on the Harvard campus, and others in the huge football bowl at Cambridge. The foot-ball game, which comes as the climax of the story, is quite the best that has ever been screened. By clever camera work, the audience is able to "follow the ball" wher-ever it goes, and to view each play as it is executed. William Haines steps into the front rank of screen juvenil es with his performance of "Tom Brown." He makes Tom a human, likeable, breezy, and slightly egotistic youth, in other words, a typical college boy, and his playing in the football game is always real and authentic. Jack Pickford has the important role of Doolittle, the weak, awkward youngster, who basks in the light of Brown's popu-larity. The characterization is a new one for Pickford , and in its way, it is one of the finest things he has ever done. Mary Brian is delightful as Mary, the girl in the case. Her wholesomeness is as photographic as her beauty. Haines and Mary make as perfect a couple as has been seen on the screen in some time. Mary Alden and David Torrence play the parents of Brown in a charming man-ner, and Edward Connelly, Guinn Williams and Ernest Gillen each deserve special mention. A. P. Younger adapted the screen play from the celebrated stage success by Rida Johnson Young. It is a Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer picture. Ross Shepler and "Boots" Rankin High Scorers Ross Shepler was the high man on the Hershey Men's Club bowling alleys, knock-ing 'em down for a 220 count. "Boots" Rankin is the duck pin high bowler, making 'em scatter for a 132 score. This is the second week that "Boots" has been the high man. On Tuesday evening the Hershey De-partment Store was represented on the alleys. The contest was between Jerome Hostetter and John Zoll vs. John Sollen-berger and Russell Zentmeyer. The Sol-lenberger- Zentmeyer combination was too strong for the Zoll-Hostetter duo, and won by the score of 874-850. This contest was marked with much fun and hilarity. On Friday evening the Allison Hill Bowling Club will play a picked five from the Hershey Men's Club"alleys, playing on the Club alleys. The contest will begin at 8 o'clock. Hershey Park Theatre Closes Saturda y Night The Hershey Park Theatre will close for the season on Saturday evening, September 11th. The program for Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, is as follows: "Brown of Ihirvard", a thrilling picture of real college life. Heer and Minette, aerial perfection . Ed'. Mulcah y, "the big man with the big voice." DeVine and Gould in "Poste Haste." Marion Dancers in "A Parisian Review" Football Squad Gettin g Into Shape The I lershey High School fixitball squad is out daily after school getting into shape for the fall 'season. Coach Palmgren is putting them "through their stuff" and the boys go at it with the spirit that will develop a fast , peppy team. It is quite gratifying to see a number of fellows out who had never shown any grea t interest in the game. There are a number of others who should "hea r the call" and help to mix thin gs up." The schedule will soon be ready for publication. HERSHEY HOSPITAL NOTES Mrs. Newton Shireman, of Hershey, R. I) . 2, underwent a major operation on Tuesday. Condition fair.

Work Begun This
Week on Lutheran
Church Alterations
Improvements to Cost $16,000, and
When Completed Will Add Another
Beautiful and Attractive Build-ing
to the Town
The work on the alterations and addi-tions
to Holy Trinity - Lutheran Church
will begin ,this week. The contract for the
work has been given to J. H. Greiner '& Co.,
contractors, of Lebanon, Pa. The plans
and specifications were prepare d by Ritcher
and Eiler, registered architects of Reading,
Pa., and the work will be under their super-vision
and direction.
The improvements will consist of the
demolition of the vestibule and main front
wall and the erection of a new front wall
with vestibules for entrance to the church
leading off Granada avenue and the south
side of the church building. The new wall
will be built of native limestone with trim-mings
of the best grade cast stone in
Indiana limestone color, with rubbed
finish. The addition will provide two
spacious vestibules, a choir room, pastor's
study, and additional seating capacity.
New art glass windows will be placed in the
main wall and everything is to be done to
make it a beautiful and attractive subur-ban
church. The work on the church is to
cost approximately $16,000.
The improvements will not interfere
with the continuous occupancy and use for
worship of the church, a temporary wall
will be erected and temporary entrances
will be provided. The congregation will
be anxiously waiting the completion of the
work to rededicate this fine church building
to the service and worship of the Lord,
also adding another beautiful building to
the town.
Hersheyite Has His
Auto Mired at Fair
Pulled from Mud by Tractor. Cars
Splattered Mud on Pedestrians.
It Was a Lively and Muddy
Scene
Homer Heisey, employed on the plumb-ing
force, was numbered among those who
attended the Harrisburg Fair on Monday.
Homer was enjoying himself immensely,
and was just getting ready to witness the
auto races when one of the worst thunder
storms of the season, suddenly came up.
After the storm was over Homer picked
his way through the mud to his Overland
and found it, with all the others, stuck hard
and fast in thick, clicky clay that refused
to let him budge his car an inch. Do what
he would, the wheels simply whirred
around and dug the hole deeper in which
they were buried.
Tractors, horses and strong men set to
work in order to haul the helpless machines
out to hard roads. It was a lively and
muddy scene. Cars that were hauled to a
minimum degree of safety, splashed out of
danger so eagerly that they cared but
little for the poor pedestrian scattereds
along the way, and more than one re-ceived
a mud bath, including Mr. Heisey,
in consequence. His blue suit was turned
to brown in an instant.

Reverie
Of a Righteous Bachelor Growing Old
I am thinking of the days that are no more,
Of the multitude of pleasures I have
missed.
Of theScotch I might have drunk, of all the
girls
In fifty years of life I might have kissed.
And indeed it seems to me a dirty shame, '
When I ponder how my life has gone to
" ¦ ¦
• ' waste,
That I've set myself apart from spicy
things
That would have been, I know, just to
my taste.
I remember Elsie Nash, ol college days.
How one night we met beneath the
ev'ning sky,
And she offered me a thorough course in
love
I pleaded an engagement, darned fool, I.
This one instance illustrates the way I've
dodged
Anything that even savored of romance,
Now I wish I had been speared by Cupid's
dart
I never gave the little cuss a chance.
All intoxicating liquors 1 have shunned,
Though I've had the choicest of them
* thrust at me;
When I went to banquets where a toast was
drunk,
I drank my toast in coffee or in tea.
Now, too late, I've changed my whole
philosophy
And declared my rock-ribbed formulas a
joke;
But they say an old dog can't be taught
new tricks,
So evenings after work I read and smoke.
Why Do They Do It?
Labor Day I gave the grass a forty cent
hair cut, and, while I was working in front
of the cottage small by the waterfall, I
could not help noticing the number of cars
that drove past the park entrance, backed
up and drove in. What I can't understand
is why they drove past it and backed up.
Why didn't they drive straight in in the
first place?
There are a lot of things in this world
that we can't understand, aren't there,
Robert?
Celebrating It Right
While I was hauling a few potatoes from
their dens in the potatoes patch on Labor
Day, I overheard a fellow say. to his girl,
"What's the matter with that fellow any.
way? Ain't he got no religion, working on
Labor Day."
Well, now that beat anything I ever
heard tell of. What in the deuce, Steve do
they call it Labor Day for if they don't
want you to labor on it? What more dig-nified
and fitting way can an office man
find to pay homage to the worthwhileness
of labor than to celebrate the day in a little
back-breaking exercise? Can't think of a
comeback right away, can you, Steve?
When you do, write and let me know.
How to Make Money
Here, you young bucks of Hershey and
vicinity who are avowedly so anxious to do
something for yourselves and be a success
in this world , I am offering you free advice
as to how to become captains of industry
and make your names ring with a mighty
clangor down the corridors of time. Brace
yourselves!
There is no nobler labor than the sal-vaging
of those things man has thrown
away and turning them again into channels
of usefulness to humanity. There are any
number of forms of salvage, but here is a
good one, a business that can be started
without much capital. Secure from the
manager of your loca l theatre permission to
clean the gum from the undersides of the
seats. You will be pleased and surprised
to find your efforts rewarded by a goodly
quantity of gum in more or less palatable
condi tion. Remold and rellavor and re-wrap
this product and you have started an
industry which is a regular gold mine that
never wears out. You're quite welcome,
I assure you. Oil , don 't mention it. You
say you won't mention it again? More
power to your elbows, boys. Go to it.
To-night I am looking for company.
They should have been here two hours ago.
They arc not here yet. Every car that
approaches I feel must be my fri end. But
every car whizzes past or else turns in at
the park.
I'll be dawgone if I don 't begin to feel
like Belinda waiting for the boy frien ' that
never calls no more, or like a religious
fanatic waitin g for the end of the world.
These end of the world fellows are always
sure that the next time is THE time, and
so it is with us. We feci that the next
car is THE car. But so far it isn 't.
The Way It Goes
The other evening, reading the paper , I
glanced over some baseball clojx; in which
was mentioned the name of Joe Shate who
is pitching for Cleveland and helping Uhlc
keep the team in the race for the |>eiinant.
1 used to go to school with Joe. Quite
mi honor to Joe. I shot. |xx>l with him.
More honor to the old sixirt. When Joe
and I went to normal school, Joe was on
the varsity football , basketball and base-hall
teams. He was an all round athlete.
He played first base on the normal school
nine and was second choice for pitcher , but
we never dreampt lie would go farther.
Now he stands a lighting chance of
pitching a world scries game. His hatting
average! is among the best of the pitchers in
his league.
That 's the way it goes in life . The fel-low
who shows up well nt the start of the
ra ce may not even finish, and Hpme fellow
we never even notice may bring home the
smoked hog meat.

Milton Hershey's Birthday
I
Years ago the sun was creeping,
- Skyward like a molten ladle;
And its golden to/, were peeping
Down at Homestead in a cradle,
|. . ** Where a mother's pride was crying;
| Who was by all pronounced a dandy;
I While the nurse in vain was trying
jj To make him quiet with milk and candy.
I Milk and candy, as I said it
J From his mind you could not move it.
| Then and there it seems he made.it
g As his future to improve it
| And he did it, boiled it, froze it,
| Shaped it, wrapped it, everything,
D Till as now the whole world knows it,
I He is crowned the Chocolate King
When toasts are drank round festive table,
And speakers tell what they are able;
From friendly heart three cheers I give—
Hip, hip, hurrahl May long you livet
II
When this morning sun is creeping
Over mountains, woods and valleys,
And its golden rays are peeping
Over Hershey's maple alleys;
Peeping thru the shrubs and bushes
All Nature seems to say,
As a zephyr gently rushes:
This is Milton Hershey's day!
Boys, stand up and drain your glasses,
Till the wee-est drop is gone;
To this giant among the masses
Greater than Napoleon.
He, who from the rock's foundation,
On this tract of virgin soil,
Built this pride of habitation,
Thru his energy and toil.
Here we stand as host of the donor,
All of us in Hershey living,
Hearty wishes with our honor
We sincerely you are giving.
"May your years be free of sorrow,
Full of happiness and health,
And the sunlit sky of morrow ,
Be the crowning of your wealth 1"
HI
When this evening sun is sinking
Back of mountains, woods and valleys,
And the vesper star is blinking
Over High Point's solemn alleys;
Blinking over shrubs and bushes
All Nature seems to say,
As a chilly zephyr rushes:
"This was Milton Hershey's day!"

Reginald Denny in
"Rolling Home' at
Central Theatre
A Rollicking Medley of Joyous Fun.
Never a Chance to Finish a Laugh
Before Another Laugh Is on
the Way
Reginald Denny has definitely taken a
position among the very few great co-medians
of the screen.
He stepped into it first with "Oh Doc-tor."
He convinced a great many picture
fans of his eligibility in "I'll Show You the
Town," "Where Was I," "What Happened
to Jones" and other pictures.
But in "Rolling Home" his latest Uni-versal
production, which will be shown at
the Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday
evening, September 14 th , at 7.30 o'clock ,
he leaves no ground for argument on the
question.
"Rolling Home" is, without doubt Den-ny
's funniest picture since he stepped into
feature farce comedians two years ago, and
he has eclipsed all of his previous per-formances.
Starting with a bang and a hearty laugh
in the opening scene, "Rolling Home"
rolls homeward, gathering laughs as it
goes, like a snowball gathers snow.
Situation is piled upon situation , with
the comedy growing at each new scene,
until the audience begins to wonder vague-ly
if the hero ever can lie extracted from
the hopeless tangle in which he hua become
involved.
