New Chemical Engine Will Arrive in Hershey This Week Funds Needed to Pay for This Equip-ment. Committee Urges Citizens to Hand in Their Contributions. Fair to Close Saturday The regular monthly meeting of the Hershe y Volunteer Fire Co. will be held on Tuesday evening, December 7th, at 8.00 o'clock. All members are urged to attend this meeting. The Firemen's Fair will be continued on Wednesday and Saturday of this week and it is hoped that the citizens will be liberal in their patronage. The new engine has been shipped and will probably be here by the time this is printed . We urge everyone to look it over and see for themselves just how well we will now be equipped to fight fires. The Fire Company still needs money to pay for this equipment, and if there is anyone who was missed while the can-vass for funds was being made, it is the hope of the Fire Company that they will hand their donation to some member who will see that it is turned over to the treasurer. The Fair committee wishes to thank the ladies who baked and donated the cakes for the fair. The winner of the prize of $50 worth of merchandise will be announced on Saturday evening, December 4th. Let everyone turn out on Saturday evening and make the closing night of the Fair a record breaker. Davies Opera Co. Are Superb In 'The Mascot " The Davies Opera Company capti-vated a goodly sized audience at the Hershey High School on Tuesday eve-ning when they appeared in the second number of the Hershey High School Lyceum Course. The attraction was "The Mascot", in three acts, which was full of charm and appeal, and was well executed. All of the participants, six in number, were artists of much finesse, and their solos and groups of songs gave them ample opportunity to display the depths and heights of flexible and well-trained voices. The baritone possessed a voice of wonderful quality and range. His two solos were gems. The pianist played with sympathetic understanding and gave masterly support to the artists. The Lyceum Course is, ' without a doubt, the very best that has ever been presented in Hershey, and should re-ceive better patronage and support. The third number of the Course will be presented on January 17th , at which time the Alexander Novelty Four will be the attraction. Hershey Junior Olivets Defeat Lancaster The Hershey Junior Olivets after losin g on Thanksgiving to Elizabeth-town Big Five by a score of 45-25, played the Lancaster Red Roses on Monday night at Lancaster, defeating them by a score of 45-38< Paul Hummer, center of the local five , kept the crowd on edge with his wonderful shots. Paul counted seven from the field. The entire team played a wonderful game and , it would be hard to point to any one individual as the star of the game. Hershey lead the first half , 22-10 an d kept the lead throughout the game. The Junior Olivets opened their home season on Wednesday night with Harris-burg Ragles.

Hershey and J. l\ Snyder returrled to Hei'shcy on batui day, after spending some lime at Hei whey, Cuba, The Smokestack By Dee Jay Qee Autumn Nights The last crisp nights of cold late fall Appeal so much to me I must outdoors and drink them all Into the soul of me. I love the orderl y ranks of stars That gladden the clear sky, And though I don't know which is Mars, All fascinate "my eye. Some day when I grow old and rich I'll learn astronomy, The things which now are black as pitch Will then be clear to me. And then perhaps I'll turn my face To that most ancient art . Astrology, which tells the race Just when it 's safe to start. New ventures; when to scrap the old. Accustomed yokes for new ; Which days and years will bring men gold; Which days will bring men rue. Someday I'll learn about the stars And how they are arrayed. Tonight I hear celestial bars Of music being played. It may be when I've learned to name The astral Pantheon, My worship may not be the same, My wonder may be gone. So sometimes men too strongly dote Upon reli gious form , They learn a hundred prayers by rote The while their hearts, once warm With fervent faith in holy ways. Grow cold by slow degrees Through saying too accustomed praise On too accustomed knees. A Vacation Well, we are back on the air again after an absence of a couple weeks. Prob-ably you didn 't notice we were off. Off the air, that is. We noticed it. One of the most pleasant surprises ever handed us was donated when the editor of the Hershey Press laid a restraining hand on the Smokestackly shoulder and said , "Son, I know you mean well and all that , but for heaven's sake cut out writing for a week or two, won't you ? Do you realize that you have my desk so clut-tered up with your semi-humorous skits and skats that I can 't find a place on it (the desk) for my feet. Lay low awhile. Dee Jay, and let me work some of this excess out of my system or I will have auto-intoxication.'' Never did more heavenly music fall on more mortal ear than fell on our deaf struck lobes. No more smokestack writing for two whole weeks at least. Another vacation with pay. Hip, hip, hooray. Wasn 't that a dainty dish to set before a columnist. It surely was. The two weeks, however, have passed all too quickly, weeks spent for the most part with that , to our notion , greatest English author, John Milton , who startled the not so cockeyed world as now, way, way back in the Seventeenth Century by inserting this startling ad in the Hershey Press. Lost, Stra yed, or Stolen. Pair o' dice lost.—Retu rn to John Mil ton. You can guess what an uproar such an ad must have caused among Milton 's straight laced Roundhead associates back in those glorious days when Free-dom was just getting her second wind. Ach, well , we don 't for a moment believe , do you, that John Milton ever played dice. Of course not. But he no doubt dispossessed some urchins or other of these malicious cubes and then put them in his pocket forgetting that the corner of bis note book had worn a size-able hole therein. And so finding he-had lost these allies of the devil before he had a chance to destroy them , what was more natural than an ad in the Hershey Press for their recovery. Yes we did enjoy that literary vaca-tion with our old friend , John Milton , and although we can 't pronounce it , we enj oyed his "Areopagitica " better t han "The Mine with the Iron Door ," by Harold Bell Wright.

Lillian Gish in a Perfect Role Frida y and Saturda y As Wistful, Tragic Heroine of "La Boheme" She Is Magnificent Picture Boasts Notable Cast. John Gilbert Plays Male Role Mimi and Rodolphe live their idyllic love and its tragic ending over again , with Lillian Gish as the personification of a wistful heroine of the .classic tale of the Paris .Latin Quarter, in "La Bo-heme," the much-heralded filmization of the great story that inspired Puccini's most lamous opera, and which comes to the Hershey Central Theatre on Friday evening, December 3d, at 7.30 o'clock, and on Saturday evening, December 4th , at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock. 'La boheme" has furnished Miss Gish with what is said to be the most perfectly-suited role she has ever been seen in , and the making of the picture was hailed as one of the outstanding events in screen history. Metro-Gold-wyn- Mayer gave it, the first American made picture with Lillian Gish in some years, a magnificent presentation under the direction of King Vidor, the man who directed "The Big Parade." "La Boheme" tells the soul-story of the women in the Paris Latin Quarter, who inspire art students, young poets, and other geniuses in their struggle to fame. A splendid cast is seen in support of Miss Gish. John Gilbert plays the leading male role as Rodolphe, the poet, while Renee Adoree is seen as Musetta, the vivacious grisette, whose name was immortalized by the "Musetta Waltz" in the opera. Others in the cast are Roy D'Arcy, Karl Dane, Edward Ev-erett Horton, Gino Corrado, Frank Currier , George Hassell, Eugene Pouyet, Rosita Marstvni and David Mir.

Deer Season Opened in Pennsylvania on Wednesda y Thousands of Sportsmen in the Forests. Deer Are Plentiful and a Large Kill Is Expected This Season The deer season in Pennsylvania open-ed on Wednesda y morning and will con-tinue until December 15. It is legal to shoot only male deer with at least two points on one antler. The limit to a camp is six deer. Given good weather and should there be a tracking snow, the kill on the opening day is certain to be heavy. Pennsylvania ranks as one of the best deer-shooting States in th,e nation and it is estimated that 50,000 hunters will be in the woods. There may be as many as 2000 deer brought down on the opening day and the total for the season will be likely to exceed 8000. There are herds of wild deer in fift y of the sixty-seven counties of Pennsylvania and in some sections they are numbered by the thousands. The South Moun-tain country, the Huntingdon, Junia ta, Fulton region and the Clinton, Ly-coming district form the three finest hunting grounds for deer with the Poco-nos running close up with the leaders. There will be more deer hunters to the square mile in the South Mountain region than any place else. The deer camps are located in Adams, Franklin and Cumberland counties. This Blue Ridge Mountain country is covered with scrub oak mostly, supplying plenty of food and chojee cover. It is easiiy reached by automobile and rail and to any person who visits the district on the first day there is wonder that any deer should survive. But they do and there are more deer, for the area, among the ridges than anywhere else in the State, so numerous that they are a pest to the farmers. The Clinton-Lycoming county really includes Potter and Centre counties and is a big, wild , picturesque part of the State, where there is more elbow room for the hunters and where there are plenty, of deer . Being the truly great deer bel t , it is the favorite hunting ground for the more hardy and ex-perienced sportsmen and the total kill exceeds any other group of counties. In the central part of the State, Hunt-ingdon county has large deer herds. Blair, Juniata , Mifflin , Perry and Fulton have been excellent deer-hunting regions for years, but it is in the Diamond valley district that the numbers more closely reach the South Mountain herds. In parts of Huntingdon county the land-owners,, particularly the fruit growers, complain of the depredations done by the deer. Buck Jones in 'The Gentle Cyclone" on Tuesday Evening Theatre patrons who admired Buck Jones in "Lazybones " and enjoyed his quaint conception of the indolent, ir re-sponsible but lovable "Lazybones , " will find many traces of the same fine.chara c-ter sketching in his newest Fox "picture, "The Gentle Cyclone," which comes to the Ilershey Central Theatre on Tues-da y evening, Dec. 7t h , at 7.30 o'clock. t Buck , of course, is the "cyclone " and despite the suggestion of gentleness in the title of the picture , Mr. Jones at times is as vigorous and tornadic as his fondest fan could wish. In fact , in many of the scenes of "The Gentle Cyclone" Buck swings a pair of very lusty and decisive fists. The role presents Mr. Jones in fine contrasts , for at times he is as gentle and apparently as harmless as the title sug-gests. Again , he is the wild-riding, fear-def ying Buck Jones of many a valiant western picture. "The Gentle Cyclone" has been made under the direction of W. S. Van Dyke, who has pilotled Mr. Jones through many of his best western stories. SPECIAL SERMON TO YOUNG PEOPLE AT LUTHERAN CHURCH On Sunday evening in Holy Trinity Lutheran church the pastor , R ev. P. M. Kinports , will deliver a special sermon to young people on the (heme; "The Sold Birthright.

New Chemical Engine
Will Arrive in
Hershey This Week
Funds Needed to Pay for This Equip-ment.
Committee Urges Citizens
to Hand in Their Contributions.
Fair to Close Saturday
The regular monthly meeting of the
Hershe y Volunteer Fire Co. will be held
on Tuesday evening, December 7th, at
8.00 o'clock. All members are urged to
attend this meeting.
The Firemen's Fair will be continued
on Wednesday and Saturday of this
week and it is hoped that the citizens
will be liberal in their patronage.
The new engine has been shipped and
will probably be here by the time this is
printed . We urge everyone to look it
over and see for themselves just how well
we will now be equipped to fight fires.
The Fire Company still needs money to
pay for this equipment, and if there is
anyone who was missed while the can-vass
for funds was being made, it is the
hope of the Fire Company that they will
hand their donation to some member
who will see that it is turned over to the
treasurer.
The Fair committee wishes to thank
the ladies who baked and donated the
cakes for the fair.
The winner of the prize of $50 worth
of merchandise will be announced on
Saturday evening, December 4th.
Let everyone turn out on Saturday
evening and make the closing night of
the Fair a record breaker.
Davies Opera Co.
Are Superb In
'The Mascot "
The Davies Opera Company capti-vated
a goodly sized audience at the
Hershey High School on Tuesday eve-ning
when they appeared in the second
number of the Hershey High School
Lyceum Course.
The attraction was "The Mascot", in
three acts, which was full of charm and
appeal, and was well executed.
All of the participants, six in number,
were artists of much finesse, and their
solos and groups of songs gave them
ample opportunity to display the depths
and heights of flexible and well-trained
voices. The baritone possessed a voice
of wonderful quality and range. His
two solos were gems. The pianist
played with sympathetic understanding
and gave masterly support to the artists.
The Lyceum Course is, ' without a
doubt, the very best that has ever been
presented in Hershey, and should re-ceive
better patronage and support.
The third number of the Course will
be presented on January 17th , at which
time the Alexander Novelty Four will be
the attraction.

RETURN TO HERSHEY
Messrs. (S7te. Hershey and J. l\

whey, Cuba,
The Smokestack
By Dee Jay Qee
Autumn Nights
The last crisp nights of cold late fall
Appeal so much to me
I must outdoors and drink them all
Into the soul of me.
I love the orderl y ranks of stars
That gladden the clear sky,
And though I don't know which is Mars,
All fascinate "my eye.
Some day when I grow old and rich
I'll learn astronomy,
The things which now are black as pitch
Will then be clear to me.
And then perhaps I'll turn my face
To that most ancient art .
Astrology, which tells the race
Just when it 's safe to start.
New ventures; when to scrap the old.
Accustomed yokes for new ;
Which days and years will bring men
gold;
Which days will bring men rue.
Someday I'll learn about the stars
And how they are arrayed.
Tonight I hear celestial bars
Of music being played.
It may be when I've learned to name
The astral Pantheon,
My worship may not be the same,
My wonder may be gone.
So sometimes men too strongly dote
Upon reli gious form ,
They learn a hundred prayers by rote
The while their hearts, once warm
With fervent faith in holy ways.
Grow cold by slow degrees
Through saying too accustomed praise
On too accustomed knees.
A Vacation
Well, we are back on the air again
after an absence of a couple weeks. Prob-ably
you didn 't notice we were off. Off
the air, that is. We noticed it. One of
the most pleasant surprises ever handed
us was donated when the editor of the
Hershey Press laid a restraining hand on
the Smokestackly shoulder and said ,
"Son, I know you mean well and all that ,
but for heaven's sake cut out writing for
a week or two, won't you ? Do you
realize that you have my desk so clut-tered
up with your semi-humorous skits
and skats that I can 't find a place on it
(the desk) for my feet. Lay low awhile.
Dee Jay, and let me work some of this
excess out of my system or I will have
auto-intoxication.''
Never did more heavenly music fall
on more mortal ear than fell on our deaf
struck lobes. No more smokestack
writing for two whole weeks at least.
Another vacation with pay. Hip, hip,
hooray. Wasn 't that a dainty dish to
set before a columnist. It surely was.
The two weeks, however, have passed
all too quickly, weeks spent for the most
part with that , to our notion , greatest
English author, John Milton , who
startled the not so cockeyed world as
now, way, way back in the Seventeenth
Century by inserting this startling ad in
the Hershey Press.
Lost, Stra yed, or Stolen.
Pair o' dice lost.—Retu rn to John
Mil ton.
You can guess what an uproar such an
ad must have caused among Milton 's
straight laced Roundhead associates
back in those glorious days when Free-dom
was just getting her second wind.
Ach, well , we don 't for a moment believe ,
do you, that John Milton ever played
dice. Of course not. But he no doubt
dispossessed some urchins or other of
these malicious cubes and then put
them in his pocket forgetting that the
corner of bis note book had worn a size-able
hole therein. And so finding he-had
lost these allies of the devil before he
had a chance to destroy them , what was
more natural than an ad in the Hershey
Press for their recovery.
Yes we did enjoy that literary vaca-tion
with our old friend , John Milton ,
and although we can 't pronounce it , we

Lillian Gish in a
Perfect Role
Frida y and Saturda y
As Wistful, Tragic Heroine of "La
Boheme" She Is Magnificent
Picture Boasts Notable Cast.
John Gilbert Plays Male Role
Mimi and Rodolphe live their idyllic
love and its tragic ending over again ,
with Lillian Gish as the personification
of a wistful heroine of the .classic tale of
the Paris .Latin Quarter, in "La Bo-heme,"
the much-heralded filmization
of the great story that inspired Puccini's
most lamous opera, and which comes to
the Hershey Central Theatre on Friday
evening, December 3d, at 7.30 o'clock,
and on Saturday evening, December 4th ,
at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock.
'La boheme" has furnished Miss
Gish with what is said to be the most
perfectly-suited role she has ever been
seen in , and the making of the picture
was hailed as one of the outstanding
events in screen history. Metro-Gold-wyn-
Mayer gave it, the first American
made picture with Lillian Gish in some
years, a magnificent presentation under
the direction of King Vidor, the man
who directed "The Big Parade."
"La Boheme" tells the soul-story of
the women in the Paris Latin Quarter,
who inspire art students, young poets,
and other geniuses in their struggle to
fame.
A splendid cast is seen in support of
Miss Gish. John Gilbert plays the
leading male role as Rodolphe, the poet,
while Renee Adoree is seen as Musetta,
the vivacious grisette, whose name was
immortalized by the "Musetta Waltz"
in the opera. Others in the cast are
Roy D'Arcy, Karl Dane, Edward Ev-erett
Horton, Gino Corrado, Frank
Currier , George Hassell, Eugene Pouyet,
Rosita Marstvni and David Mir.
