Some of the Best Picnics Have Been Those of the Past Ten Days Special Trains and Scores of Automobiles. Picnics For Next Week . During, the past week Hershey Park has entertained thousands of visitors from leading cities and towns. Some of the picnics were very unusual, and they were, altogether enjoyable. " Last Friday the employes of Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart to the number of over 500 came in special trains and in trolleys and took possession of Hershey. Harisburg's largest store employs ah army of people. They in-tended that their Hershey picnic should break the record and it did. Nothing like it ever came . in this or any other direction. It was a_great, joyous, irrepressible aggregation of novelty and action. It was. led by a hand in costume that was a delight and that won honors that will never die. There were games so numerous that even the score keepers forgot the count and there were more prizes than were, ever awarded in any one company. It was one of the best-looking crowds ever seen here, espe-cially attractive in its feminine ranks. At the end of the afternoon a dinner was served and all the fifteen items on the bill-of-fare were popular. Dances kept the fun going far into the night. A panoramic photograph of the picnic made a.: picture that ex-tended across two pages' of the Har-risburg papers and was a very re-markable piece of photography. It was taken by the Hershey Studio. Moving pictures of the party and of the games were also taken. It was truly a great day and the firm is to be congratulated on having people who can manage a difficuult thing like that with so much system and sue1 cess. Saturday -was a very big day. The Linoleum department of the Lancaster Cork Works came in three special trains, brought their own band, car-ried out a crowded program of sports and kept things moving from early morning to evening. It was one of the livliest days of the year. On Tuesday Myerstown closed all the shutters and locked the front door and came to Hershey. It required two special trains of 15 coaches each to move the population here. They found a big welcome and they en-joyed themselves, for they set every-thing in the park going. They had their own band, their own program of sports and scores of baskets filled with food. Not an unpleasant incid-ent marred the day. On Tuesday, too, Selinsgrove shut up shop and came to Hershey in a long line of automobiles. The two banks and the post-office were the only places in the town left open, and even at that Postmaster Marion S. Schoch was the leader of the Hershey procession , a very capable leader of a fine looking and agreeable lot of visitors. These visitors received special attention , for the trip was more than a picnic; it was to consider and get a look at the way Hershey did things for community progress. They were much impresed and thought the town a wonder. The Selinsgrove folks dined at the Hershey Cafe and quite a number of them remained un-til after supper. At the Hershey Park Theater a special matinee was given and the house was filled. Today St. Marks and St. Andrews of Rending will bo here. Tomorrow the employes of the Globe of Harris-burg will come on a special train. Saturday the employes of the Noldo and Horst Knitting Mills of Reading will arrive, On Tuesday will be the Iloilman reunion and on Thursday, the 12th , will bo the big picnic of the Ilnrrisburi* grocers.

Now is the Time to Do Still Better Ser- , vice in the Extermination of the Pests. Meeting of Committee. Letter - So much has been accomplished by the campaign of the citizens against the house fly that a new call for more earnest action is now sent the rounds. A meeting of the Committee was held Tuesday evening at the Men's Club. W. F. R. Murr'ie, the chairman, pre-sided with W. L. Dubois, secretary- Reports from the subcommittee chairmen agreed that there were fewer flies in . Hershey than in any other year, but it. was also admitted that the number had greatly increas-ed within the past few .days. - Two causes were ascribed, failure to keep the garbage cans, clean and breeding places that had been undiscovered. The need of immediate action was im-pressed, and the secretary was in-structed to draw up a new letter and to send it generally to the people of the town. This letter was finished by Mr. Dubois' yesterday and it is as fol-lows : Hershey, August 4, 1915. Members of Fly Campaign Committee: Notwithstanding the good start made to rid Hershey of flies there are now some flies here. Flies breed in manure, fermenting lawn clippings, or other vegetable or animal, matter that is in the process of decay. Therefore there must .be some breed-ing places around town. The flies are not confined, to one part of the town but are present to some extent nearly everywhere. Since the fly seldom travels oyer 500 yards from its breeding place, it . is evident that the opportunity for ' breeding exists quite generally over town. We made such a good start in this campaign and were so free from flies until the last few weeks that we have grown careless in keeping up the fight. If Hershey is to be a flyless town it will mean continual .vigilance arid activity on the part of every committeeman and hearty cooperation on the part of the other folks in the town. Just as soon as everyone does his part in his own house and yard Hershey will have no flies. ERADICATE OR CORRECT ALL BREEDING PLACES. Flies are breeding in garbage cans. All gar-bage cans should be kept tightly cov-ered and should be scalded out once a week. Flies may also be breeding in manure, in privies, lawn clippings .or other fermenting vegetable or animal matter. Manure should be hauled awaiv once a week or treated with borax. Lawn clippings and other ref use should be disposed of prompt-ly. Privies should.be tightly closed all* around and the contents, if not removed frequently, should be treated with borax. FLY TRAPS. Keep traps going constantly. This is of great import-ance. Flies multiply with marvelous rapidity. Every fly caught now means thousands less later in the summer. Fly traps should be baited with bread and milk , or brown sugar and vinegar. The bait must always be wet and should be renewed every day. Care should be taken to have enough space under the trap for the flies to enter. CANVASS YOUR DISTRICT, With the above points in mind every committeeman , not tho chairman only, is strongly urged to canvass his dis-trict with the next few days, try to locate and correct breeding places and persuade tho people to keep fly traps in operation. NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING, Monday ovenir ?, Aug, 9, 7.30, at tho Men 's Club, Every committeeman in urged to bo there , It in of great im-portance to every man and to every man 's family. W. L.

Hershe y Consolidated School In Shape For Year's Work Beautiful Scenery at Home The scenery around. Middletown at this season of the year certainly is fine , says The Press of that town. From tho Sunset farm below Royal-ton , from Grand View farm , north of town or from tho high point out along the almshouse road , the view across tho river islands , town , etc., is ono hard to surpass in beauty. Another is near Oborlin looking down the Rutherford Valley or fro m the hill north of Horshoy whoro tho million dollar hotel will bo erected and from which oho can plainly see into seven different counties. All those are hard to improve upon even by travel-ing In foreign countries. Big Susquehanna Bridge Work on the 1)5850,000 Cumberland Valley railroad bridge across tho Sus-quehanna river at Harrisburg Is pro-gressing rapidly .and at full capacity. Of tho oHtimatod 5(1,000 cubic yards of concrete nooded to complete the piers , 7,000 cubic yards hjlvo boon put in place in tho forni H atid the romd t is gradually beginning to show how tho finished bridge will appear, A force of about, 175 men Is kept at work dally. With a contract time of two years to complete tho entire bridge, the contraetoi-H are hopoful of having the lower half built and trains running upon it by September, 1010, and tho work completed in 1017. Weujiier Forecast For the W«ek No-ginning Today . Gonorhlly fair wouthor during tho remainder of tho week , with moderate temperatures prevailing for nt loaat four or five days. Opera Company Will Remain Success of the Engagement Gives An-other Week of Popular Music So successful has the Manhattan Opera Company been that the engage-ment has been lengthened and there will be another week of popular mu-sic. 'Th« audiences have been large and it has been necessary to give several . matinees. £.ast Saturday night the house was filled and Tues-day's matinee was one of the largest given in Hershey. In the latter half of last week "A Trip to India" was greatly enjoyed, principally for the excellent comedy work of George Williams arid Wilbur Cox. It was just the kind of good fun that a summer audience liked and it was a treat to see how the crowd Saturday night took it. On Monday "The Chimes of Normandy" was giv-en and here the 'opportunity .for com-, e.dy was .much less, but George Wil-liams made a distinct hit by his ghost act and Wilbur Cox got all the fun possible out . of the . baillie. Gus Vaughn was the Marquis and Jethro Warner the fisherman, and both look-ed handsoTne arid sang well. Bertha Holly Was a fine Marchioness and Edith Carlisle was graceful, piquant and attra ctive as Serpollette. The chorus did excellent work- and the opera was well costumed: Tonight "The Mikado" will be pre-sented. It is the best comic opera ever written in any language and it ought to be the gem of the engage-ment. Mr. Spencer conducted ably. Union Services Sunday Night Opening Was a Success in . Every Particular. Congregation Large Black skies and a sprinkle, of rain drove the union services indoors last Sunday and all were astonished to find what a large congregation it was, for the Hershey Park Theater was well filled. The union choir occupied .most of the stage and did admirable work under the leadership of Mr. Witmeyer. Rev. Mr. Linebaugh con-ducted the preliminary services and the sermon was preached by Rev. George Snavely Rentz. This coming Sunday the . services will be at the same time, half past seven, in front of the band stand if the weather is all right and in the Hershey Park Theater if it rains or storms. The preacher will be Rev. N. L. Linebaugh and his text will be "The True Foundation." The preach-er for August 22 will be John Irvin . Meek, pastor in charge of the ' Luth-eran Church , and for August 29 the Rev. Dr. Ely,, of the Lemon Hill As-sociation. Mr. Linebaugh said Sun-day night that at the final union ser-vice when Dr. Ely will preach an attendance of 5,000 would be expect-ed, and he called upon the people to advertise the event. The sermon of Mr. Rentz Sunday night was a fine and deeply spiritual message. His topic was, "Three Great Values of the Christian Life," with the text, "Now faith is the giv-ing substance to things hoped for."— Hebrews 1-1:1. He said the marginal reading of this verse is preferred be-cause it defines faith in the terms of active life . The illustrations of the chapter are men whose lives were moulded by this vital principle. In a life so lived , three great values emerge. 1, Vision. Hope is the apprecia-tion of a vision; only those who see with the oye of faith tho great possi-bilities of life really live, Tho Chris-tian life gives tho , finest vision for tho individual and for society, because tho Christian lives "as seeing him that is invisible " and "looking for tho city that hath tho foundations whoso maker and builder is God." 2, Romance. When men actually pursue tho vision , life bocoines ro-mantic. Contrary to a current opin-ion , the Christian life is tho most ro-mantic of all possible lives, This is soon In tho way in which it glorifies life ; In tho enthusiasm it kindles; in tho lni'go element of "the unexpected " that it contains. !l, Constructive ¦worth, Except wo give Hiibstanco , to tho things hoped for , the pursuit of them is vain. The vision and tho romance must be real and must keep In touch with tho reali-ties. Tho Christian Is In touch with the KiipruiiKi reality, God himself , and lias Christ's assurance that "fruit ahull uhido. " ThflHd values actu'uo to those who live in obedience to Christ through tho power of prayer. Flowers Are in Their Glory In Hershey During August Wonderful Beds in ^the Park and in the Square Opposite the Factory! Ten Thousand Plants in the Beds of the Mansion Grounds. Fountains ' Hershey flowers are in their full glory in August. Never were there so many of them and never were their blooms so large. They are much en-joyed by the thousands of' visitors. . The first bed in Hershey Park con-tains 500 plants, King. Humbert Can-nas, with their handsome bronze leal and their deep red flowers. The next bed is the Buttercup variety,: a rich yellow. There are also 500 .p lants m this bed, The fancy bed. to the right has Echeverias, Alterhanthera, and Achranthus, all fancy leaf plants and with them are five colors of coleus, making a wonderful picture. Farther back is a fine bed of yellow cannas and scarlet sage, the-Lsage; forming the border. In front of the Factory is a particu-larly beautiful bed of King Humbert cannas with a double border of yellow maples and yellow coleus, alternate-ly black and yellow. There are close to a thousand plants m this bed. Behind the gymnasium is a bed of 600 red geraniums, 400 silver leaf geraniums, 200 yellow cannas and 300 fire-brand coleus. Around the cafe are a hundred feet of window boxes filled with gerani-ums, coleus and vinca vines. There are also boxes on the' Quick Lunch, building. On the Mansion grounds are 32 flower beds. Perhaps the prettiest is the bed at the big fountain at the top of the hill. It is very striking. It is planted principally with the Mrs. Alfred Connard cannas ,with a border of Uhlberg cannas, a pinkish red, a very unusual color. The first border is Beckwith's Gem coleus and the sec-ond border Golden Bedder coleus. On either side of this large bed are two triangular beds composed of White Leaf Maples with borders of red Achranthus. Below the rocks there are new scrolls, fine examples of car-pet bedding, with wonderful wealth of color. , The extent of the floral work on the Mansion grounds may be seen from the fact that there are over 10,000 plants in the various beds. The beautiful Italian garden at the south of the Mansion has fully 5,000 plants, and they are now in the per-fection of their lovliness. A most attractive place is the old fashioned garden around the old stone schoblhouse. in the Mansion grounds. Here is where 'M. S. Hershey first at-tended school and there is sentiment in the preservation and beautification of the old building. Another beauty spot is the foun-tain in the woods with its wealth of ferns and tropical plants and the sur-roundings of pergalos and vines and a pond with gold fish. And then the red squirrels in the trees around make up a delightfully interesting picture.

The flies are not confined, to one part of the town but are present to some extent nearly everywhere. Since the fly seldom travels oyer 500 yards from its breeding place, it . is evident that the opportunity for ' breeding exists quite generally over town. We made such a good start in this campaign and were so free from flies until the last few weeks that we have grown careless in keeping up the fight. If Hershey is to be a flyless town it will mean continual .vigilance arid activity on the part of every committeeman and hearty cooperation on the part of the other folks in the town. Just as soon as everyone does his part in his own house and yard Hershey will have no flies. ERADICATE OR CORRECT ALL BREEDING PLACES. Flies are breeding in garbage cans. All gar-bage cans should be kept tightly cov-ered and should be scalded out once a week. Flies may also be breeding in manure, in privies, lawn clippings .or other fermenting vegetable or animal matter. Manure should be hauled awaiv once a week or treated with borax. Lawn clippings and other ref use should be disposed of prompt-ly. Privies should.be tightly closed all* around and the contents, if not removed frequently, should be treated with borax. FLY TRAPS. Keep traps going constantly. This is of great import-ance. Flies multiply with marvelous rapidity. Every fly caught now means thousands less later in the summer. Fly traps should be baited with bread and milk , or brown sugar and vinegar. The bait must always be wet and should be renewed every day. Care should be taken to have enough space under the trap for the flies to enter. CANVASS YOUR DISTRICT, With the above points in mind every committeeman , not tho chairman only, is strongly urged to canvass his dis-trict with the next few days, try to locate and correct breeding places and persuade tho people to keep fly traps in operation. NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING, Monday ovenir ?, Aug, 9, 7.30, at tho Men 's Club, Every committeeman in urged to bo there , It in of great im-portance to every man and to every man 's family. W. L.

Hershe y Consolidated School In Shape For Year's Work Beautiful Scenery at Home The scenery around. Middletown at this season of the year certainly is fine , says The Press of that town. From tho Sunset farm below Royal-ton , from Grand View farm , north of town or from tho high point out along the almshouse road , the view across tho river islands , town , etc., is ono hard to surpass in beauty. Another is near Oborlin looking down the Rutherford Valley or fro m the hill north of Horshoy whoro tho million dollar hotel will bo erected and from which oho can plainly see into seven different counties. All those are hard to improve upon even by travel-ing In foreign countries.

Weujiier Forecast For the W«ek No-ginning Today . Gonorhlly fair wouthor during tho remainder of tho week , with moderate temperatures prevailing for nt loaat four or five days. Opera Company Will Remain Success of the Engagement Gives An-other Week of Popular Music So successful has the Manhattan Opera Company been that the engage-ment has been lengthened and there will be another week of popular mu-sic. 'Th« audiences have been large and it has been necessary to give several . matinees. £.ast Saturday night the house was filled and Tues-day's matinee was one of the largest given in Hershey. In the latter half of last week "A Trip to India" was greatly enjoyed, principally for the excellent comedy work of George Williams arid Wilbur Cox. It was just the kind of good fun that a summer audience liked and it was a treat to see how the crowd Saturday night took it. On Monday "The Chimes of Normandy" was giv-en and here the 'opportunity .for com-, e.dy was .much less, but George Wil-liams made a distinct hit by his ghost act and Wilbur Cox got all the fun possible out . of the . baillie. Gus Vaughn was the Marquis and Jethro Warner the fisherman, and both look-ed handsoTne arid sang well. Bertha Holly Was a fine Marchioness and Edith Carlisle was graceful, piquant and attra ctive as Serpollette. The chorus did excellent work- and the opera was well costumed: Tonight "The Mikado" will be pre-sented. It is the best comic opera ever written in any language and it ought to be the gem of the engage-ment. Mr. Spencer conducted ably. Union Services Sunday Night Opening Was a Success in . Every Particular. Congregation Large Black skies and a sprinkle, of rain drove the union services indoors last Sunday and all were astonished to find what a large congregation it was, for the Hershey Park Theater was well filled. The union choir occupied .most of the stage and did admirable work under the leadership of Mr. Witmeyer. Rev. Mr. Linebaugh con-ducted the preliminary services and the sermon was preached by Rev. George Snavely Rentz. This coming Sunday the . services will be at the same time, half past seven, in front of the band stand if the weather is all right and in the Hershey Park Theater if it rains or storms. The preacher will be Rev. N. L. Linebaugh and his text will be "The True Foundation." The preach-er for August 22 will be John Irvin . Meek, pastor in charge of the ' Luth-eran Church , and for August 29 the Rev. Dr. Ely,, of the Lemon Hill As-sociation. Mr. Linebaugh said Sun-day night that at the final union ser-vice when Dr. Ely will preach an attendance of 5,000 would be expect-ed, and he called upon the people to advertise the event. The sermon of Mr. Rentz Sunday night was a fine and deeply spiritual message. His topic was, "Three Great Values of the Christian Life," with the text, "Now faith is the giv-ing substance to things hoped for."— Hebrews 1-1:1. He said the marginal reading of this verse is preferred be-cause it defines faith in the terms of active life . The illustrations of the chapter are men whose lives were moulded by this vital principle. In a life so lived , three great values emerge. 1, Vision. Hope is the apprecia-tion of a vision; only those who see with the oye of faith tho great possi-bilities of life really live, Tho Chris-tian life gives tho , finest vision for tho individual and for society, because tho Christian lives "as seeing him that is invisible " and "looking for tho city that hath tho foundations whoso maker and builder is God." 2, Romance. When men actually pursue tho vision , life bocoines ro-mantic. Contrary to a current opin-ion , the Christian life is tho most ro-mantic of all possible lives, This is soon In tho way in which it glorifies life ; In tho enthusiasm it kindles; in tho lni'go element of "the unexpected " that it contains. !l, Constructive ¦worth, Except wo give Hiibstanco , to tho things hoped for , the pursuit of them is vain. The vision and tho romance must be real and must keep In touch with tho reali-ties. Tho Christian Is In touch with the KiipruiiKi reality, God himself , and lias Christ's assurance that "fruit ahull uhido. " ThflHd values actu'uo to those who live in obedience to Christ through tho power of prayer. Flowers Are in Their Glory In Hershey During August Wonderful Beds in ^the Park and in the Square Opposite the Factory! Ten Thousand Plants in the Beds of the Mansion Grounds. Fountains ' Hershey flowers are in their full glory in August. Never were there so many of them and never were their blooms so large. They are much en-joyed by the thousands of' visitors. . The first bed in Hershey Park con-tains 500 plants, King. Humbert Can-nas, with their handsome bronze leal and their deep red flowers. The next bed is the Buttercup variety,: a rich yellow. There are also 500 .p lants m this bed, The fancy bed. to the right has Echeverias, Alterhanthera, and Achranthus, all fancy leaf plants and with them are five colors of coleus, making a wonderful picture. Farther back is a fine bed of yellow cannas and scarlet sage, the-Lsage; forming the border. In front of the Factory is a particu-larly beautiful bed of King Humbert cannas with a double border of yellow maples and yellow coleus, alternate-ly black and yellow. There are close to a thousand plants m this bed. Behind the gymnasium is a bed of 600 red geraniums, 400 silver leaf geraniums, 200 yellow cannas and 300 fire-brand coleus. Around the cafe are a hundred feet of window boxes filled with gerani-ums, coleus and vinca vines. There are also boxes on the' Quick Lunch, building. On the Mansion grounds are 32 flower beds. Perhaps the prettiest is the bed at the big fountain at the top of the hill. It is very striking. It is planted principally with the Mrs. Alfred Connard cannas ,with a border of Uhlberg cannas, a pinkish red, a very unusual color. The first border is Beckwith's Gem coleus and the sec-ond border Golden Bedder coleus. On either side of this large bed are two triangular beds composed of White Leaf Maples with borders of red Achranthus. Below the rocks there are new scrolls, fine examples of car-pet bedding, with wonderful wealth of color. , The extent of the floral work on the Mansion grounds may be seen from the fact that there are over 10,000 plants in the various beds. The beautiful Italian garden at the south of the Mansion has fully 5,000 plants, and they are now in the per-fection of their lovliness. A most attractive place is the old fashioned garden around the old stone schoblhouse. in the Mansion grounds. Here is where 'M. S. Hershey first at-tended school and there is sentiment in the preservation and beautification of the old building. Another beauty spot is the foun-tain in the woods with its wealth of ferns and tropical plants and the sur-roundings of pergalos and vines and a pond with gold fish. And then the red squirrels in the trees around make up a delightfully interesting picture.
