illness of Mr. Groh prevented it. They
will soon go to their new home in East

To Begin Campai gn
for Family Altar
A campaign for the re-establishment
of the old-fashionedfamily altar has been
inaugurated by a tri-county committee
representing the Sunday School associa-tions
of Dauphin, Lebanon and Lancas-ter
County, with President H. K. Ober,
of Elizabethtpwn College, as chairman,
the Rev. H. K. Geyer, vice-chairman,
and the Rev. W. E. Harkness, Lebanon,
secretary-treasurer.
The campaign will open Sunday,
January 16, when every pastor in the
three counties will be asked to preach
a sermon on family worship and home
religion. This will be followed by a
congregational canvass and cottage
grayer meetings to aid homes in the
eginning of family worship.
A pageant entitled "The American
Home" will be given at least once in each
county "by the Young People's Division
of the county association. The dates
for this pageant have not yet been set.
The campaign will close on Sunday,
March 13, with sermons appropriate and
the return of cards received during the
congregational canvass.
The Dauphin County committee
includes the Rev. Dr. Dorsey N. Miller,
J. William Bowman, the Rev. H. K.
Geyer, the Rev. H. B. Lingle, and Ivan
L. Mease. The Rev. James E. Wagner ,
pastor of the North Street Church of
God, Harrisburg, is Dauphin County's
member on the general publicity com-mittee.
The Christian Herald , an interde-nominational
religious weekly, is as-sisting
in the campaign and copies are
being sent to every pastor and super-intendent
in the counties.
Richard Dix in "Say
it Again" Saturda y
"Say It Again," which comes to the
Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday
evening, Dec. 11th, at 6.30 and 8.30
o'clock, is the third romantic farce in a
row for Richard Dix, under the di-rectorship
of Gregory La Cava. And it
is funnier and faster than either of the
other two successes, "Let's Get Married"
and "Womanhandled."
The picture has a long, colorful se-quence
of whole-hearted , two-fisted
scrapping worked out in one of those
side-splitting comedy situations which
have caused such I > ti ghter and excite-ment
in so many of Dix's features.
Moreover, the fighting involves nearly
one hundred people, all punching at
once. The situation is funny because
Dix, as the central figure in an intrigue
around a throne, is not responsible for
his predicament , being kept in ignorance
of what all "the shooting's for."
The comedy becomes a riot when
Chester Conklin appears as the prince
for whom Dix has been mistaken.
As a background for the story we see
the quaint streets, houses and citizenr y
of an imaginary small Europea n king-dom,
with the pomp and spectacle of its
royal court.
Running through the picture is . a
thread of romance with real thrills,
glamour and heart-tug in it. The center
of this is beautiful , blonde Alyce Mills,
Dix 's new leading woman , "Princess
Elena."
Governo r Appeals for
Xmas Seal Sale
The appalling losses from tuberculosis
through the majority of the victims
being youth and in early middle age are
pointed out by Governor Pinchoi in
announcing today his acceptance of the
honorary chairmanship of the 1926
Christmas Seal sale in Pennsylvania.
"Our present day war on the disease of
mankind is largely centred on tuber-culosis,"
said the Governor. "This line
of attack has been followed for two
important reasons.
" 'Tuberculosis is an insidious disease ,
and it kills vast numbers of people. '
" 'The measures that prevent tuber-cul
osis also prevent other diseases-- .'
"Persons killed by tuberculosis usually
waste away slowly and the community
suffers from the by-product of the While
Plague in the depleted energy of workers
and povert y. Tuberculosis is essen-tially
a disease of youth and middle age.
Of the 7300 persons who succumbed to
tuberculosis last year in Pennsylvania
•1373 were from 15 to 45 years old. The
cost t o the family and the community in
rearin g all these victims was large. The
loss to the family and the community in
their lengthy illness and early death is
appalling.
One of the great forces arrayed
against this plague is the united local ,
State and National Tuberculosis. As-sociations.
They arc financed by Ihe
annual sale of Tuberculos is Christmas
Seal s. The.Scal this year pictures three
minstrels emulatin g Ihe troubadours of
the middle ages who went about in no
spirit of self-seeking, bul with Ideal
aims. In keeping with the spirit of Ihe

bring a message of health and happiness

Santa Claus is on
His Way to the
Hershey Store
Only Fourteen Shopping Day*
Remain. Toyland and Dolly-ville
Awaits the Coming of
Jolly Saint Nicholas
A good beginning makes a good ending
to Christmas shopping. Shop early.
Days are flying as they always fly when
the Yuletide season comes around, and
when there is so much to do in prepara -
tion.
Christmas Eve will be here almost
before we know- it. There is only four-teen
shopping days left . If you haven't
begun your Christmas shopping, begin
now. Slow beginners are apt to prove
slow finishers, and judging by the last
day's Christmas rush of a year ago, the
rush this year will be even greater.
Christmas is coming, as we know, and
so is Santa Claus! He is on his way
from the North Pole and he is fl ying
thru the air with all the speed that his
reindeer will go. It won't be long before
he will have landed at the Hershey Dept.
Store, where he will make his head-quarters.
Everything is ready for Santa at Toy-land
and Dollyville at this progressive
store, where you will find the finest dis-play
of toys and dollies in Lebanon
Valley.
This wonderful Dollyville and Toy-land
has an exceptional assortment of
Christmas gifts for children of all ages.
It is as though a fairy story had come
true—no description could accurately
picture this great wonderland of toys,
dolls, books and games.
The doll display is the largest and
finest that has ever been shown at the
Hershey Dept. Store. Here you will
find a magnificent carnival of dolls of
many nationalities, sizes and kinds that's
making the eyes of hundreds of little
girls stand wide open. There are boy
dolls and girl dolls. Dolls that open and
shut their eyes. Jointed dolls, inde-structible
dolls and flaxen-haired dolls.
Dolls that stand alone and dolls that sit
down. Cunning dolls and dolls that
look almost as if they would walk.
On one counter are animals that
almost live and breathe. Automobiles
that go like the wind and fire trucks
that speed on their way in a jiffy. On
another counter are railroad trains with
tracks to run on, automatic toys, and
goodness knows what else besides.
There are musical toys, tiny trunks,
toy beds, washing outfits, doggies,
sheep, ponies, tea sets, paint boxes,
work boxes, an d other things too numer-ous
to mention.
Bring the children and let them see all
of these lovely, interesting and amusing
toys, especially conceived and made for
their pleasure.
Just a word to the parents-—do your
choosing now, while all of the playthings
are at their freshest and while the stocks
are full , and before the arrival of Santa
Claus, which great event will throng the
toy department, making your choosing
all the more difficult. Furthermore, you
will find all of the toys and dollies at-tractively
priced.
Every department in the Hershey
Store is in a joyous holiday array and
filled with useful , appropriate gifts for
every member of the family. Holiday
buying can be accomplished at the
Hershey Store with the maximum of
comfort and the minimum o( money. Do
it now!

Snow
Snow,
Sifting through the rifted roof of heaven
As through a shingled barn when six or
seven
Shingles have been blown away by
autumn's wicked wind,
You are so good and kind.
Blow,
Blanketing my sawhorse, see him shiver,
He says, "you snug and pampered indoor
liver ,
I would turn you over if I only had my
way
To the S. P. C. A."
No,
Nothing is more kindly than the snow is,
I can't see in my garden where a row is,
See, the all-erasing whiteness covers up
the greed
Of each malicious weed.
So,
Since the year is coming to its ending,
I should be grateful to the skies for
sending
Something to shut out the sight of evil
weeds I grew.
My>good plants were but few.
Go,
Greet, my heart , the New Year that's
approaching;
For here's a hope I cannot keep from
broach ing;
Snow, when burying the weeds, make
white my past deeds too.
Let me begin anew.
A Little Explanation
Ours Truly thought we were doing a
really clever piece of work when we
penned the last line of the second verse
above. We thought so, that is, until
the first two persons that read the poem
asked us what S. P. C. A. stands for.
When we told them that the abbrevia-tion
stands for Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, it cleared the
atmosphere somewhat, though not en-tirely.
Fable
Once upon a time there was a proud
papa who didn 't monopolize the Christ-mas
playthings for his own amusement.
A Useful Gift is the Kind to Give
A well known and j ustly prominent
lady politician of Elmira , New York,
bought her husband a*traveling bag for a
Christmas present. According to her
story she bought the bag because she
traveled a good bit lecturing throughout
the state, and, since her husband never
left the city, she could appropriate it for
her own use whenever she wished.
The idea has all sorts of possibilities
for development. Son and daughter
might buy father and mother fur coats
for Christmas, charging them to the
governor's account. Father and mother
won't wear them, but they fit son and
dau ghter. Or they might buy father a
new roadster if he would foot the bill and
allow them to borrow it every night. If
mother sees a book she would like to
read what would be simpler than to buy
it for daughter. Or if son sees a par-ticular
splashy necktie how better could
he remember father than by buying him
a necktie which he will never wear and
which son can just as well sport as not.
Oh Christmas Giving, what sins are com-mitted
in thy name!
Who Remembers
Those good old days when bashfu l
boys used to try to say, "Dea r , how
beautiful your face is," and when hal f-way
through would lose courage and
wind up with "the moon is."
Lige Tate Says
It 's a gal durn shame the way the
women and girls dress in the big towns
like Liberty Cross Roads and Hum-melstown.
To see 'em out on parade
you would think they pulled their dress-es
and coats u p to iheir knees so's they
could have more place lo hide their
heads. Why nowadays it don 't do a
girl no good to be pretty when she's on
the street. They all look alike , hidin '
under them dad blamed droopin 's hats
and hunched-up fur collars.
Compensation
These da ys are the kind that sorla
help pay a fellow back for all the fresh
air and sunshine he missed working
ind oors last summer, says the Office Guy
I can stand deer hunting in this cold
weather , but 1 know I'd never be able lo
survive if I had to make my living out in
it.
The Real Article
"I'm a very bu sy man , sir. What is
your proposition?"
"I want to make you rich. "
"Well , leave your recipe with me and
I'll look it over laler. Just now I'm

seven dollars in real money. "—Bagology

Her shey School Pupils
Selling Chri stmas Seals
On Monday the Christmas Seals
arrived in the Hershey Schools for sale
among the patrons of the community.
The pupils of the three fifth and three
sixth grades have been allotted the duty
of selling the stamps. The sale of these
little penny Christmas Seals has meant
a great deal to the health of the com-munity,
the state, and the nation.
Beginning in 1907 with a sale of- only
$3,000, this little messenger of Christmas
cheer and good health has grown in
influence and power until' last year
$4,900,000 was realized from its sale.
Will you look with us at some of the
things this little penny health messenger
the Christmas seal, does for the people
of these United States? It furnishes the
wherewith to support the organization
that is making this determined campaign
against tuberculosis; it gives thi§"OTgani-zation
the means to maintain the fight
that has cut the number of deaths caused
by tuberculosis in this country from
nearly 200 in every 100,000 people,
when the sale was started to only 90 out
of every 100,000 people during the year
of 1925. In the past 25 years over 1,-
300,000 persons would have lost their
lives from this disease had the death
rate of the year 1900 prevailed. Capi-talizing
these lives at only $5,000 each—
and who would not value his life at
more than $5,000—the increase in
wealth from this one course alone aggre-gates
$6,500,000,000.
Each year for countless years 120 or
more homes in Dauphin County have
been made sorrowful because of the
dread disease of tuberculosis. The
total is about 1,500 in ten years and yet
tuberculosis is preventable. In 1918,
221 deaths from tuberculosis were re-ported
in Dauphin, County, in 1925
only 120 deaths. After seven years of
propaganda the number of deaths has
been decreased 101. All of which, we
think, was due to the sale of the Christ-mas
seals.
Let us, therefore, salute this penny
tuberculosis Christmas seals and wel-come
it into our midst and promote its
ales and use as much as possible.
Bebe Daniels in 'The
Palm Beach Girl "
The society dazzle of Palm Beach, the
luxurious atmosphere of Miami Beach,
the scenic glories of Lake Worth and
Biscayne Bay—all the far-famed, pic-turesque
beauty spots of Florida form a
pictorially perfect background for Bebe
Daniels' new speed comedy, "The Palm
Beach Girl," which will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday
evening, Dec. 14th , at 7.30 o'clock.
In this uproarious vehicle, Bebe deftly
demonstrates just how much excitement
and hilarious fun a little country girl can
stir up once she gets started. Plunged
pell-mell into the social whirl of Palm
Beach, when she arrives from Iowa to
visit her wealthy aunts, Bebe proceeds
to turn the society colony topsy-turvy
with her comic antics, naive pranks,
adven tures with bootleggers and thril-ling
experiences with speed boats.
In between all the hectic activity, she
manages to squeeze in a little romance.
Lawrence Gray is Bebe's leading man—
the society millionaire who succumbs to
her charms when she wins the spectacu-lar
speed boat race, despite the fact that
she can 't operate the craft and is in mor-tal
dread of the water!
The su pporting cast is studded with
many popular film favorites, including
Josephine Drake, Marguerite Clayton ,
John Patrick , Maude Turner Gordon ,
Armand Cortes and Roy Byron.

Conrad Nagel in "There
Yon Are" on Thursday
"There You Are ," Conrad Nagel's
most hilarious incursion into the realm
of comedy, will be the attraction at the
Hcrsliey Central Theatre on Thursday
evening, Dec. 16th , at 7.30 o'clock. The
story is a side-splitting lilmization o(
Herbert 's novel of the same name, re-lating
the trials and tribulations t h a t
beset ii pair of elopers (played by Nagel
and Bdith Roberts), in their attempt to
escape an angry father and battery of
traffic policemen , in the (ace of such
obstacles as misplaced identity, a lost
baby saddled upon them --and a collie
dog that proves a Nemesis.
The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer feature
is essential ly a whimsical comedy - -but
it is stiiged in a selling of thrills , such as
a wild race of the elopers with n small
army of motorcycle policemen through
city trallir , a desperate leap from an
apart ment window to a careening taxi
in wlilch Na gel shows his skill as an
nldie tc , and other swift-moving inci-dentals.
The cast of the iiieture is notable ,
includin g, besides I lie two principals ,
such players as George Faweeil , Gwen
Lee, Philli ps Snialley, Eddie Gribbon ,
Gertrude Bennett , Elmo Bi llings , Billy
Eagle and others of note. -~_

Mr. Hershey Gives
$1000 Toward Paying
for New Truck
Peter Painter Won $50 at Recent
Firemen's Fair, and He Presents
It To the Company as His '
Contribution
The Hershey Volunteer Fire Co. held
their regular monthly business meeting
on Tuesday evening, Dec. 7, 1926.
The officers reported that the new fire
truck has been received and invited
everyone to examine it. The official
Fire Underwriters' test will be made on
Thursday afternoon , Dec. 9, 1926.
The Fair treasurer 's report showed
receipts of approximately $1600 from
the fair, but due to the outstanding bills
the actual profit could not be reported.
The president reported that Peter N.
Painter who won the prize of $50 worth
of merchandise which was offered by the
Fair committee will not accept the
merchandise but wishes to donate the
$50 to the Fire Co. to help pay for the new truck, and the Company voted him
a life membership for his generosity.
The treasurer 's report showed quite a
nice sum of money received since last
meeting, and with the probable net
proceeds pf the fair there remained ap-proximately
$950 to pay for the new
truck. Mr. M. S. Hershey, who was
present , then donated $1000 to the
company in order that the organization
would be enabled to again start with a
clean slate. A rising vote of thanks was
given to Mr. Hershey.
The Fire Co. wishes to thank all those
who made contri butions toward the
new truck and also all those who patro-nized
the fair and helped to make it a
success. It is the hope of the Company
that they may be able to-render service
which will always merit the support and
patronage of the entire town and com-munity.
Ballot was taken on sixteen applica-tions
for membership and all applicants
were elected. Two new applications
were received and referred to the inves-tigating
committee.
The secretary was authorized to send
a letter of thanks to the Palmdale Band
for coming to the fair on Saturday eve-nin
g and rendering such splendid music.
The Company was to recommend the
Palmdale Band to any organization
needin g the services of a first-class group
of musicians.
Our description of the new chemical
truck would not do it ample ju stice.
The members of the fire company are
delighted with it and feel a great pride
in it, which they have ever reason to be.
