Hershey Park welcomes you on Labor Day. The management has everything in readiness, and it is the last big day of the season. As an especial attraction that splendid and capable stock company, the Pickert Sisters, will present the play of the hour, "The War Baby." It is a stupendous production and. well worth coming miles to see. It was the intention of the man-agement to put this play in the Convention Hall, but it was found to be impractable. A dip in the wonderful swimming pool will be the big and happy event of the day. The water . is just right—not too hot or too cold—and there's no doubt of it but that it will be filled with bathers, and the majority of these will be of the fair sex, looking their best in the nifty bathing togs of the day. Maybe Annetta Kellerman will be there, who knows. Then, there's boating. Hershey Park has a large fleet of boats that are a pleasure to row. Spring Creek is a picturesque spot, yes, indeedy. The dancers will naturally wend their way to the large dancing pavilion, where a special orchestra has been engaged for the day, playing all of the latest dance selections, including that wonderful Jazz melody. A ride on the $10,000 Merry-Go-Round and a ride on the Miniature trolley is another joy that you will not want to pass by. Prof. Jack Rhodes' metropolitan or-chestra will give concerts, afternoon and evening, in the large Park Music Pavilion. You'll find the day only too short, if you spend Labor Day at Hershey Park. Better join the crowd—at Hershey Park. Labor Day at Hersh ey Park Last Sunday morning the Catholics of this vicinity assembled in their new chapel recently finished in the Press building. The congregation was agreeably sur-prised to see the tastejul way that Mr. Jas. K. Putt's force had done their work and the decoration and painting by Mr. Zentmyer's men was appreciated. The thanks of the people assembled was extended to Mr. M. S. Hershey and the other executives of the town for their interest and help in giving them the use of the room. Opening of New Catholic Chapel Labor Day Closing Monday, September 2nd, being Labor Day, the Hershey Department Store will be closed all day. Being a two-day close down, house-wives will out of necessity have to shop heavily on Saturday. Come early in the day—and avoid the evening rush. REMOVE EYE OF BOY WOUNDED Physicians at the Brooklyn Naval Hospital removed the right eye of Arthur F. Holler, a sailor, son of Henry F. Holler, of Hummelstown, who was wounded when a depth bomb on board a troop ship exploded prematurely. The Pickert Sisters and their Stock Company continue to draw big business at the Park theatre and with an excellent list of feature plays to be still presented there is little doubt that the crowds will continue. In "Little Peggy O'Moore " the com-pany was seen at its best. All of the parts were well taken and the scenery and costumes were of the best. Chester Woodard came in for his share of the credit by painting a view of the Hershey grounds. Much praise were heard for this excellent painting. The specialties pleased and Buddy and Betty made a big hit with their songs and dances. The orchestra under the able direction of Jack Rhodes made a big hit with the descrip-tive number "A Day at the Circus. " For the first part of this week the com-pany presented 'St. Elmo ' by request. Val. C. Cleary as St. Elmo and Blanche Pickert were at their best while all of the other members played their parts in excellent manner. For the last three days of the week the company will pre-sent "The Natural Law." This play had a long run at the Republic Theatre in New York and has been seen all over the country by the road companies. While it was running in New York it was the most talked of show of the season be-cause of its boldness. Some of the scenes are startling and daring, but while the play is on a daring subject and is written in a bold way, the author has handled it so cleverly and skillfully that no one can take offense at it. The play is a wonder-ful lesson to all young girls and every mother who has a daughter and every daughter who has a mother should see the play. For next week, the Pickert Sisters farewell week two big feature plays have been arranged and you are requested to start boosting for the farewell and gala week. For the farewell week two exceptionally strong plays have been arranged. The first three days with a matinee on Labor Day, "The Unmarried Mother, " or "The War Baby, " will be presented. The play is on a subject that is very prominent in Europe and will no doubt become so in this country. "The War Baby " is by Mr. Fox, the writer of the other war play that was presented , and is claimed by the author to be his best work. The play is full of comedy and with a big war scene is sure to be an excellent play for the holiday. Mr. Woodard has promised some sur-prises in the scenic work and new spec-ialties will be introduced which will include Mr. Samuel Waldon who will join the company on Sunday. Mr. Waldon has been the director and com-edian at Lexington Park, Boston's leading summer park, this year and has been with the Pickerts before. The Pickert Sisters will present their big navy specialty. The last half of the week another play that the public requested will be presented, "The Rosary. " Wherever presented the play plays to record breaking crowds and there is little doubt but what people will come from far distant places to see "The Rosary" presented. At Boston, Mass., this summer all previous records were beaten with this play. A synopsis of this play will appear next week. Big Gala Week at Hershe y Park Hershey is to have a company of Mil^_ itary Reserves, and judging from reports the company will be recruited to full strength upon its organization, which takes place on Thursday evening. Every able-bodied man in Hershey should join the company. Meetings and drill exercises will be held every Thurs-day evening at the Hershey Men's Club gymnasium. Applications for membership may be procured at the office of the Hershey Men's Club. Don't be a Slacker. Do your bit. Join the Hershey Military Reserves The Draft age Is now raised To fort y-five, And some of These chesty Old earthworms Who have Been annoying You to death" ' ' About their Deep regret At being . Too old To get in The army Will now Shut up. Wor th a Small Bet On the first Thursday in September the workrooms of the Hershey Red Cross Branch will be open all day, morning, , afternoon and evening, instead of Wed-nesday afternoon and Thursday. That a is, the workrooms will be open but one day a week. The knitters must come for yarn on Thursday evening, instead of Tuesday.

Workers of Red Cross Take Notice Ralph Fiore had some difficulty with three men at the Park on 'Thursday evv ening, and they refused to be arrested. As Ralph was all by his lonesome, and was outnumbered three to one, he sum-moned aid from the Hershey Volunteer Policemen.- Three able-bodied policemen soon came to his assistance and two of the law-breakers were soon captured, amongst the coal banks. One of the Volunteer policemen didn't have a regular pistol, but nevertheless got his man with a water pistol. The other lawbreaker .was captured about 3 o'clock next morning by Ralph Fiore, after Ralph had fired at him three or four times. Hershe y Vol. Police Make Arrests Lemmel Williams and family are vis-iting relatives in and around New Kings-ton, during Mr. Williams' annual vaca-tion. Mr. Williams' fellow clerks at the gro-cery- department at the Hershey Store, having expended all of the surplus in their Talcum and Sunburn Lotion Fund on the girls who have returned from . their vacations, so it has been decided that if °Mr. Williams gets sunburned, and there is no doubt of it but that he will, he will have to use some of the substitute flour that he sells. It has been recommended that he use either potato or barley flour.
