THE CHILDREN OF AMERICA AND
THE LIBERT Y LOAN
Back of the trenches of France run our
rear-line trenches of America. In them
every one of us is a soldier on duty. The
Liberty loan is a service in which every
man, woman, and child may take part.
Children may carry the creed of patrio-tism
into their own homes. Because of
this influence a child may help sell Lib-erty
bonds. I hereby appoint every
child of school age in the United States a
soldier of the Liberty loan.—W. G. Mc-
Adoo.

The fine attendance at all the shows
last week proves beyond a doubt that the
people of Hershey and surrounding towns
want good movies. Pictures of the same
calibre are booked foruthe entire winter.
The attractions for the coming week are
as follows:
Friday and Saturday, October 4th and
5th, Screen Classis, Inc., present "TO
HELL WITH THE KAISER," featuring
Lawrence Grant and Olive Tell. This is
the greatest arraignment of Prussiarrism
and the moral baseness of the Hohen-zollerns
and their kind ever made. It is
a magnificent commingling of fact and
imagination , showing how Wilhelm, the
monster of Europe, signs a pact with Sa-tan
for the mastery of the world. This is
followed by the wilful destruction of the
treaty of Belgium, as a preliminary to
the most ghastly crimes the world has ever
known. An American Girl, Alice Mun-roe,
sets out to avenge the death of her
sister, who has trustingly sought the sanc-tuary
of a Belgian convent, and is respon-sible
for the dramatic climax in which the
Kaiser meets the fate he so richly de-serves.
Brilliant and effective scenes, in
which Olive Tell and Lawrence Grant do
wonderfully forceful and realistic work,
complete the most amazing screen drama
ever presented in connection with this all-important
theme. This feature is in 7
acts. A one-reel comedy will also be
shown. On account of the seating capa-city
at the Central Theatre being limited,
we urge as many oi our patrons who can
possibly do so, to attend on Friday even-ing,
as on Saturday evening, no doubt ,
many will be turned away, judging from
the size of the crowd last Saturday at
"My Four Years In Germany."
There will be no shows on Monday
evenings, until October 28th, when "THE
WHIP" will be shown.
Wednesday evening, October 9th , Will-iam
Fox presents William Farnum in
"LES MISERABLES," a stupendous
picturization of Victor Hugo's famous
story, directed by Frank Lloyd, in 9 acts.
"The greatest epic and dramatic work
of fiction ever created or conceived ; the
epic of a soul transfigured and redeemed ,
purified by heroism and glorified through
suffering; the tragedy and comedy of life
at its darkest and its brightest, of human-ity
at its best and at its worst."—This
is the; verdict of that supreme authority
—the Encyclopaedia Britannica . Do not
make the mistake of believing that this
is just "an ordinary picture." It is not.
"To Hell With
the Kaiser"
It is the most virile, forceful production
ever made. Its grandeur has never be-fore
been approached . That incompar- !
able actor, William Farnum, undoubtedly I
does the best work of his stage or screen :
career. His interpretation of "Jean Val-jean"
is a living, breathing ideal. He is
supported by a notable cast which in-cludes
Jewel Carmen, Dorothy Bernard , \
Sonia Markova, Kittens Reichert and !
others. Hearst-Pathe News No. 66 will \
be shown. I
A special train on which will be exhib-ited
trophies from the battle fields of
France, Belgium and other foreign coun-tries
will arrive at Hershey on Friday,
October 11th, at 9 A.M. and be here un-til
9.50 and will be placed on the siding
to the rear of the Freight Station.
This train is being operated in the in-terest
of the Liberty Loan Committee of
the 3rd Federal Reserve District. They
will exhibit army tanks and . other war
trophies and while the exhibition is going
on, speakers accompanying the train will
address the crowd and sell Liberty Bonds.
The personnel of the party will include
Mr. T. P. Myers as the representative of
the Liberty Loan Committee, who will
have entire charge, four speakers, a guard
of eight U. S. Marines and others.
Everybody is urged to come out as the
exhibit is large and interesting.

Train Friday, Oct. 11
The Liberty Loan Rally that was held
in the Park Theatre on Tuesday was a
wonderful demonstration of the patrio-tism
of the people of Hershey. The ar-rangements
for the rally were only perj-fected
on Monday, and the town was
placarded during the afternoon, and it
was very gratifying to the committee in
charge to see the Park Theatre jammed
almost to its full capacity on Tuesday
evening.
The first speaker was Capt. A. Wells
Ingram, of the British Red Cross. The
Captain spent many months in Serbia and
is familiar with conditions as they existed
then and must exist now. He also gave
vivid accounts of the sufferings and pri-vations
of the people of France, Belgium,
Italy and England.
The Rev. Dr. Robert Bagnell, of Harj -
risburg; who had just returned from Eurl-
Liberty Loan Rally
Great Success
ope, then followed. Owing to the fact
that another meeting was scheduled for
the same evening at Hummelstown his
talk was brief. The audience would have
been content to have listened to him for
several hours, instead of minutes'. One
point that the Dr. emphasized was thai
the boys "over there" were watching us
"over here" with the same interest that
we watch them, and they expect us to go
"over the top" for the Fourth Liberty
Loan, giving our dollars, as they go "over
the top" giving their lives.
Four soldiers and a chorus of girls were
present, leading the singing, accompanied
by the Municipal band of Harrisburg.
On Monday and Friday evenings of
each week the Hershey Reserves meet on
the third floor of the Press building. The
number of enrollment has passed the 125
mark. It is the wish oi the men of the
organization to have 250 men enrolled,
which would put the company at war-strength.
Surely, there are 250 red-blooded
men in Hershey and vicinity who
will hear the call. Make ah effort to
bring out a new member on Friday even-ing.
Capt. Stine, of the Harrisburg Re-serves,
had the sergeants and corporals
of the local Reserves on the floor of the
i Hershey Men s Club gymnasium on Tues-
; day evening, and he straightened out
i some of the military commands for their
, benefit , and then put them through the
j paces to see that it hadn't gone over their
j heads. Capt. Stine, when he was through
j with them, said that the Hershey : Re-serves
had a splendid lot of officers, and
he felt that the organization would short-ly
be whipped into shape, and would be
a credit to the town of Hershey and-Penn-sylvania.
i It is going to take hard work to do
this, however, and it can't be done by
; staying at home. Every man in this or-
| ganization should be present at least once
j a week.
j The hour of drill commences at 7.30
| promptly. Be on hand at that time and
i Capt . Stout will thank you.
CARD OF THANKS
Mr. B. B. Gebhart and daughter de-sire
to thank the neighbors and friends
for their kindness during the recent illness
and death of their wife and mother, Mrs.
B. B. Gebhart. .
