              Miss Marion Roth
To Or ganize a Hershe y
Communit y Chorus
Miss Marion Roth, music instructor of
the Hershey High Schools, believes in
doing things worth-while. She is endeavor-ing
to form a Community Chorus, and as
"The Press" has always been a strong
advocate of this admirable work, we trust
that Miss Roth's endeavors will be crowned
with great success.
Community singing is a safety valve for
a community. It has accomplished and
always will accomplish that which no other
human agency can. We sing together and
are happier, we learn to know each other
better and we become better men and
women. We sing away care and trouble
and are refreshed.
Community singing was recognized by
our Government as absolutely necessary
and essential to the winning of the World
War. We have forgotten all too soon. We
are in need of community singing, and all
of us should welcome this opportunity that
Miss Roth has given us to take up this
splendid work.
It is planned to have the first gathering
during the latter part of October. If you
are interested, kindly inform Miss Roth,
Prof. A. M. Hinkel, or any of the teachers
of the Hershey Schools. Let's all join!
Miss Roth states that she will begin with
the simpler melodies, those that we are all
familiar with, and will lead up to the more
difficult songs and arias later on.

Novarro and Alice
Terr y in "The Arab "
Saturda y Evening
"The Arab,", the new Rex Ingram pro-duction
for Metro, will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday
evening, Oct. 13th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock.
It is one of the greatest of Ingram's
pictures, worthy in every way of the man
who produced "The Four Horseman" and
"Scaramouche," and superbly acted by a
cast that includes Ramon Novarro and
Alice Terry.
The picture was filmed in Algiers and
Tunis, and it affords the most convincing
of all arguments why pictures should be
screened on the exact locale of the story,
instead of at Hollywood studios. For Mr.
Ingram, in going to the East, has brought
back with him to the screen all of the
glamorous enchantment that has beckoned
to travelers through all the ages.
"The Arab" gives you the Orient in all of
its wonderful color and exotic life; an au-thentic
background for a drama that holds
the spectators tense with excitement.
Ramon Novarro appears in the title roto
as an Arab guide, who falls in love with an
American missionary's daughter, played by
Alice Terry. He learns of the Turkish
plan to massacre the Christians, only after
the children from the mission are being led
into the desert to certain death. He goes
to their rescue, but, when he gets them
back to the mission, the fanatical Moslems,
roused to fury by their leaders, break loose
and attack the little Christian stronghold.
Only a miracle can save them. But you
must see the denouement for yourself.
"The Arab" is a picture that nobody
should miss. Successful some years ago on
the stage, with Edgar Selwyn, who wrote it,
in the title role, its effectiveness is tre-mendously
enhanced on the screen.
Novarro has the greatest opportunity of
his career and he seizes it with a zest that
sweeps all before him. There is no more
fascinating actor than this young Mexican
who conquered America with an insolent
twirl of his monocle in "The Prisoner of
Zenda," and, as "The Arab," he never
looked more handsome, nor acted with
greater fire and force.
Miss Terry looks lovelier than ever as
the heroine. The blond wig that she wore
in all of her previous pictures has been dis-carded
and she appears for the first time on
the screen in her natural darlc-tinted
bobbed hair. She rises to moments of
enormous emotional appeal in the scene of
the massacre, and she was never more allu-ring
than in her love scenes with Mr.
Novarro.
Mr. Ingram's direction is uncannily
right in every little detail, and the pho-tography,
credited to John F. Seitz, is a
masterpiece of screen art.
To those persons who enjoy a little more
than just plain hokum, and want to see
real thrills set in the actual locale of the
story, "The Arab" is sure to be one of the
most entertaining pictures of the year. It
has story, stars, director and backgrounds
—nothing could be nicer, and nothing is.
Stron g Cast in "The
Devil s Car go"
Tuesda y Evening
Pauline Starke, Wallace Beery, William
Collier, Jr., and Claire Adams comprise the
quartette of featured players in the leading
roles of the new Victor Fleming-Paramount
production , "The Devil's Cargo," coming
to the Hershey Central Theatre on Tues-day
evening, Oct. 13th, at 7.30 o'clock.
Miss Starke's role is that of Faro Samp-son,
daughter of the proprietor of the most
notorious saloon and gambling den in
Sacramento—a girl of many moods. She
is shown as a sweet demure girl , a calcu-lating,
revengeful woman, a fighting
tigress, tender , wistful all at one and the
same time.
It is claimed that Beery gives the finest
of all his screen characterizations as Ben, a
stoker on the river boat, a simple-minded
hulk of a fellow who has been beaten from
pillar to post all his life. Wallace is always
at his best when he's at his worst—if you
follow what we mean. And he's real
devilish in "The Devil's Cargo."
Young Collier plays the editor of an 1850
newspaper and Miss Adams is his puritani-cal
sister.
Other big names in the cast arc Ray-mond
Matton in a great comedy part of the
first mate on the river boat—the scenes
between him and Beery furnish many a
laugh for the audience. "Spec" O'Connell
as the 'printer 's devil' , George Cooper,
Dale Fuller, Emmet King, John Dillion
and Louis King.
"The Devil's Cargo" is a story of the
early gold rush days in California. A. P.
Younger wrote the screen play from the
story, "The River Boat ," by Charles E.
Whittaker.
Hershe y High Opens
With a Victor y
Hershey High School opened Its 1925
football schedule on Saturday, Oct. 3d. by
easily defeating lllghspire High school on
the hitter 's gridiron by the score of 32-0.
The game was scheduled more as a
practice game and although the Highspirc
lx>ys put up some stubborn defense at
times , the locals had little trouble piercing
their line when the necessary yardage was
needed. The game was played on n soggy
field mul the slippery condition of the ball
made fumbles numerous on Ixith elevens.
Many substitution s were made throughout
the game,, practically the whole Hershey
squad seeing action during the game. The
boys put up n fine scrappy game of football
and Coach Palmgivn was \ycll pleased with
the form displayed by his proteges.
On Saturday. Oct. 10th, Hershey will
play Shlppensburg, at Shlppensburg. This
game Is exacted to bo a much tougher
proposition than last Saturday's game and
the. boys are out every evening getting into
shape tor n st iff fight.
Apples and Blossoms
On the Same Tree
An apple tree Iteming fruit mid blossom*
at the same time Is attracting considerable
attention of Herslicyitcs. This tree is on
the premises of the Holy Trinity Luthera n
Church parsonage, Rev. Paul M. Kin-ports
Is hoping to gather In a second crop
of apples, for on the same branch with the
apples are blossoms. Mr. John Hnllgren ,
our local fruit extension specialist , stated
that this phenomoiien probably was duo to
a resumption of growing conditions follow-ing
the recent rains. Before the rains the
drought virtually had put a stop to the
growing activity of the fruit tree.
Castle, of Learning
Her mi assive., high-crowned turrets tower -r toward the skies,
Tall, staunch, abrupt, and strong her lofty
towers rise;
Here rally all the strength of youth and
life,
Here all assemble to begin the strife.
To fight with axe and mace and lance and
' spear;
Behold the host of eager learners gathered
here.
From hill, from valley, from the rolling
plain.
From bay, from headland come they all to
2h) tote Jtn Gee
gain
The badge of knighthood, here to win their
spurs.
To clear the picture which the mist of
ignorance blurs,
To master every lesson, and to learn
The joy with which true living learners
burn.
No moat of stagnant water circumscribes
This castle's limits, for what race, what
tribes;
Of war or enemies of law and life,
What hosts of looting robbers running rife
Can seize the treasure which its walls en-fold,
Which has no price in silver or in gold?
Youth comes to gain the prize which wis-dom
gives
To all who ask, to everyone that lives
Who toils a million moments at her door,
The prize thus won he'll carry evermore.
And, oft as he shall care to pass it on,
Still he shall find none of his treasure gone.
When snows have melted from the moun-tain
tops, knights spring
To gallant chargers, make the valley ring
With resounding echoes, curb with no slack
rein
Their fiery war steeds o'er the retreating
plain,
O'ercome vain, slothful ignorance in his
cell,
And call each task unfinished till 'tis
deemed done well.
A school that has chosen thus to bless
Thy living youthful band with sacred,
calm caress, - Through the unwinding scroll of future
approaching years,
Give us the courage to allay the fears
Of those who know not- how nor what to
dream,
To make their humble hives like gilded
mansions seem.
Help us fight for right, for that our mission
is,
To do thy bidding, Learning's Castle, his
Who once has called thy liberal chambers
home,
Who once has viewed the future from thy
view-commanding dome,
0 students, let us live as true knights
should,
For only noble living can inspire the sacred
good.
"Say," said the Man with the Marble
Top, "the cops are sure busy around here.
1 don't know how many automobiles I
have seen -with tags on 'em. They must be
collecting some bunch of fines, all right."
"Why you dumb dumbell," expectorated
the Man with the Cedar Chest as he ran
his fingers through his O-Cedar mop, "do
you see that Chewy over there? That
Chewy has a tag on it. Step over and
see what the tag says. Why don't they
pen 'em up when they get that way?
"Well I'll be goldarned," said the Man
with the Marble Top as he came back from
his tour of inspection, "that 's a good one on
me, all right. Here all the while I 've been
thinking those tags were notices to appear
before the squire, while as a matter of fact
they read Hershey Follies, Oct. eighth and
ninth. "
Old Doc Drake of Liberty Cross Roads
Roads says this world would be a better
place to live in and would be safer for
democracy if about a half a million fellow s
humming, whistling, and trying to sing
that Auburn Prisoner's Song, or whatever
they call it , were to be put in with the poor
prisoner to keep him company.
No Harm Done
"Oh, boo, hooh, hoool" sobbed the bride
"I just baked a pie and set it out on the
back porch to cool, and Fido ate every bit
of it. O dear, O dear, what 'll I dooo?
"There, there, dear," said the Mister,
"don't sob so. You will ruin all the deli-cate
coloring of your cheeks. What if
Fido did cat all your pie. We can easily
get a new dog, can't we?"
You know the Liberty Cross Roads Cash
and Carry that we spoke about the other
week. They are open for business now.
They liave decided on their slogan which
is, "tggs taken in trade." This slogan won
the first prize of ten dollars. It was sub-mitted
by I.O. Dine of Toad Hollow.
The second prize was five dollars. It
was copped by U. B. Goodnow, who lives
about two miles north of Gobbler 's Knob.
His prize, winning slogan was, "Don 't go
elsewhere to l>e swindled. Slop here!"
The Ideal Sy.tem
Yea, sir. Up Where I Come From la not
at all lacking in inventive genius and in the
ability to use the head when necessary. We
never told you alxiut old D. K. Eastbrook ,
did we? lie was the proprietor of the
dirtiest shop we ever saw. He called It a
IHiwiishop, and there is wliere for fift een
dollars we bought the Stabler violin that
we are going to Hell some day for fifteen
thousand. No less a person than D. K.
Eastbrook himself told us It was worth it.
But we digress.
I Iere is'wlmt we started out to say, D. K.
Eastbrook had the simplest and most

through the lonu winter days on a high
hook-keeper's stool under which he had
lighted an oil heater, lie did complain
some tliat his ears got cold, though. If
you don 't believe you can get warm that
way, try it.
The person who talks to himself is not

wants someone that is sensible with whom
to talk.

Now is the Time to
Pre pare Next Year 's
Tulip Bulb Garden
Bulb flowers are the bluebirds in the
world of growing things. They are among
the first messengers to bring word that all
nature will soon burst into leaf and bloom.
Crocuses and scillas and hyacinths and
narcissi and tulips are dear to the hearts
of folks in a different way than any other
flowers the whole year long. What other
blossoms are so much the symbol of happi-ness
as those which early herald the fact
that once more old Earth is waking up?
Wherever spring bulb flowers are seen,
they give happiness.
More than ordinary pleasure, then, is
due the flower lover who has taken thought
the faff before to plant upon his own home
grounds the bulbs of his particular fancy.
For only by fall planting can bulb flowers
be a success.
But why plant bulbs in the fall when the
blossoms are neither expected nor wanted
until spring is a question which often
puzzles amateur gardeners. Instead, why
can't they be put into the ground as soon
as the frost is out in spring?
When bulbs of almost any kind are ready
to plant, the flower bulbs are alniady
formed in their centers. The thickened
portion arourM the outside of the food
which the flowers and leaves will use. But
that the blossoms may grow well, the plant
must develop the best root system possible
so that added nourishment may be taken
from the soil.
Most bulbs have a habit, centuries old,
of sending out their roots in the fall before
the ground freezes and then going to sleep
to await the warm April sunshine. Only
thus can they quickly send up their leaves
and flower stalks to be the forerunners of
other flowers in spring.
If the bulbs are planted in October or
early November in the north central states,
therefore, they begin to send out their
roots at once, and before winter sets in
these roots have reached several inches in
length.
After the flowers have blossomed in
spring, you will notice that the leaves stay
green for several weeks. They are helping
the plant to store up food for another
season, and new flower buds are being
formed in the renewed bulbs. About the
middle of summer the leaves die down, and
the bulbs may safely be dug. Or they
may be left to rest in the ground until it is
time to take a fresh start in fall.
There are, then, three methods in the
arrangement of bulbs. The "bedding"
method, usually consists of planting bulbs
in formal flower beds and in border effects.
Bulbs in the bedding group which are set
in the ground in fall are taken up the fol-lowing
summer and stored in a dry place.
"Naturalizing" bulbs is planting in
nature's way and leaving the bulbs in the
ground permanently, allowing them to
grow and come up of their own accord year
after year. Bulbs are usually naturalized
in the grass beneath the trees, in shrub
borders, and on grassy banks beside lake
or stream.
A combination of bedding and naturaliz-ing,
however, is especially appropriate for
Darwin tulips and for narcissus. When
using them as a border effect with shrubs
or other plants, setting out about twenty-five
new bulbs each fall where the bed con-sists
of one hundred is a good plan. In
this way the flowers are always likely to be
vigorous and will not usually become
scanty or of poor quality.
"Tulip time" in the north central states
is almost as gay a season during late years
as it is said to be in Holland, which has
been the home of the bulbs for centuries.
Tulip time here lasts from the blossoming
of the earliest which may be before the
middle of April to the latest of the gorgeous
Darwins which may still be in blossom the
first of June.
Few tulips can equal the Darwins in size
of blossom or length of stem or in variety of
hues and tints or in "altogether-gorgeous-ness."
In their one hundred and fifty
shades they range from almost black and
dark brown and purple thru mauve and
heliotrope and lilac and all the shades of
red and pink to bronze and orange and
yellow. As for length of stem, many of
them measure two feet or more. Darwin
bulbs are "last but not least."
Darwin tulips grow so tall that they are
delightful in a shrub border. As they
bloom at about the same time as "spiraea
vanhouttci" they can well be placed in
front of this shrub, and if iris in a good
contrasting shade is present , the result is
doubly pleasing.
Tulips of all kinds should be planted
about five or six inches deep. Either for
bedding or naturalizing, it is a good plan to
dig out the soil to that depth and to set in
all the bulbs before any of them are cov-ered
, Then the soil taken out can be
leveled over the bulbs and firmly pressed
down. They should tie provided with
plenty of moisture.
