Hershey Department Store will be held
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March
11, 12, and 13, respectively and from all
indications will excel in every particular
the exhibits held in previous years.
The management of the store and a
large corps of assistants have been busily
engaged on the plans for the past few
weeks and everything is in readiness for
the staging of the big event. Mr. Botts,
the store decorator, has likewise put in
some busy hours and as a result, his plans
for the decorations are nearly completed.
According to an annoucement made by
him yesterday, the entire store will be
gayly wreathed in clusters|of apple blossoms
arranged in a manner suitable for the
occasion.
In previous years it has been the custom
to have a number of models of the fair
sex here from the largest stores in Philadel-phia
and New York. Not only will this
be repeated this year, but in addition to
the girls, there will be several men and
boys who have recently been engaged in
the Metropolitan cities. All of the latest
creations and styles in both mens and
women's apparel will be exhibited.
Thursday, afternoon and evening, a
new departure will be introduced . This
day will be known as "Inquiry" day.
Short addresses will be made by persons
who are interested in the styles being
shown and they will answer any questions
asked relative to the manufacture and
texture of the goods. The patrons are
urged to seek information upon any points
upon which they may be in doubt.
A high class orchestra will furnish music
during the time of the exhibits. The
exhibits will be held at 2:30 and 7:15
o'clock on the respective days.

an eloquent address on "Washing!oil 's
Soldierly Qualities. "
The Hershey Posl communicated with
headquarters in Philadelphia concerning
the Certificates and received the followin g
reply by telegram: "All French Memorial
certificates received have been forwarded
to Posts having jurisdiction locally given
by War Department as address of next
of kin. It. Is possible that changes of

Officials of the Y. W. C. A. are making
arrangements for a St. Patrick's Silver
Tea to be .given in the Cafeteria of the
Association, Thursday evening, March 18
from 2-4 o'clock.
An excellent musical program has been
arranged and the afternoon promises to
be an enjoyable one from all standpoints.
A silver offering will be taken, the proceeds
of which will be devoted towards est ab-lishing
and maintaining Young Womens
Christian Associations in the Orient. The
local branch has planned to raise $500. for
this work and are depending to a con-siderable
degree upon raising the money in
this manner. Accordingly other interest-ing
entertainments will be given from
time to time. The Y. W. C. A. entertain-ments
have always proved delightful and
there is every reason to believe that these
will be as popular. The recent Sauer
Kraut Supper and the Tag Day for the
Girl's Reserves were heartily enjoyed and
the sentiment seemed to be as expressed
by one visitor, "Lets have one every
week."

Other Activities
The Mt. Carmel Five of the American
League threw a scare into the ranks of the
Harrisburg Independents Saturday even-ing
in the game played on the Chestnut
Street floor and for a time it appeared as
though the Capital City boys would be
Jorced to take the small end-of the score.
The final score was 45-38 with Harrisburg
on the long end.
The visitors played a fast, aggressive
game at all times and never gave the
home boys a chance to rest. At the end
of the initial period, the coal region lads
were leading by one point, the score stand-ing
20-10. Harrisburg came back however
with their usual late rally and gradually
drew away from their opponents. Their
lead however was never great enough to
permit any relaxation and they were
forced to keep on digging.
Harrisburg was handicapped somewhat
by the absence of "Ike " McCord, although
Kline who replaced him , put up a fast
floor game and succeeded in locating the
basket several times.
The Lafayette Five of Pittsburg will
likely he the attraction Saturday evening.
All arrangements have - not been com-pleted
however and should negotiations
fall through , a team from the Western
League will be brought here.
ELA1NES TRIM PALMYRA BIG FIVE
The I lershey Klainos defeated the Pal-myra
Big Five Saturday evening in one
of the hardest fought games ever seen
on the Palmyra Door. The final score
was 32-30 and required an extra live
minute pciiori of play.
With victory in sight and only one
minute left to play, Bashoic , the Palmyra
forward , caged the ball twice from the
center of the floor , tying the score at 2H
points apiece. In the extra period the
Klaines succeeded in raising four points
while the Palmyra lads secured but two.
Palmyra really lost the game throu gh
poor work on the foul line as they only
gathered six points from a possible 21
while Smith , shooting for the Klnines ,
caged 13 of Hi attempts. Hasehore was
(he individual star of the game, with ten
field goals and two foul goals to his credit.
Thursday evening of last week , the
Klaines defeated the Methodist Club of
Harrisburg, by the overwhelming score

Mt. Carmel Gives
"Indies " Hard Game
Members of the cast of "The Private
Secretary," the play to be staged by the
Senior and Junior Classes of the Hershey
High School, are rehearsing daily and to
all appearances the play will be one of the
best presented here in years. • It will be
given in the Central Theatre, Thursday
evening, March 11. Following is the
plot of the play :
Douglas Cattermole receives a letter
announcing the coming of his rather
eccentric uncle from India. Douglas is
quite disturbed at this news, for his uncle
had been constantly wanting him to sow
his wild oats and he had succeeded in
doing nothing more than running up a
few bills. While wondering what to do,
his friend, Harry Marsland suddenly
drops in. He. too, is in trouble. Douglas
has given his signature to a note for 300
pounds to oblige Harry some months
before. Now the note had fallen due and
Harry could not pay; neither could Doug-las.
Harry cannot bear to think of having
a writ served on him for he wishes "to
accept an invitation to the meet on the
morrow at Featherstone Hounds, where
his uncle resides. If the writ were served
on him there, his uncle would kick him
out of the house. Douglas tells Harry he
cannot help him, that his uncle will not
give him a penny until he has sowed his
wild oats. What is to be done?
A bright idea comes to Harry and there-by
hangs the tale. Harry has with him
the new private secretary which his uncle
Mr. Marsland had just engaged but whom
he had never seen. Harry was to have
taken him down with him that day, but
the boys decide to leave him at Douglas's
apartments. So, Douglas, as the private
secretary accompanies Harry to Mr.
Marsland's home and leaves the shy awk-ward
Rev. Spalding to face Knox with the
writ and the displeased uncle from India.
The ensuing scenes are a veritale
"Comedy of errors." The uncle from
India thinks the nice Rev. Spalding is his
nephew and is thoroughly disgusted. Mr
Marsland is shocked at Douglas's levity
and lack of dignity as private secretary.
Douglas does his best but cannot come up
to the recommendation s of Mr. Spalding;
he finds himself especially embarrassed
in the line of music. Gibson , the tailor ,
desirous to move in the upper circles,
follows Douglas to the country home under
the pretense of wanting a bill paid. It
keeps Harry and Douglas busy to keep
him from revealing Douglas 's identity
and lie will not be got t en rid of. Mean-while
the real Mr. Spalding receives a tele-gram
from Mr. Marsland asking him to
come at once. Spalding does so. He is
seen first by Cattermole , who has come
down to visit his old friend Mr. Marsland,
Cattermole is angry when he sees his
"nephew " here and asks Douglas to help
him get rid of him. Upon learning of
Spalding 's presence Douglas is equally as
desirous of getting him out of the way as
his uncle is. Miss Ash ford , a Spiritualist
and second mother to the young ladies of
the household , enters. She mistakes
Spalding for a medium. Douglas takes
the hint and pretends (hat Spalding is
such. He tells Kdith and Eva (hat a
medium is in the house. They are credu-lous
and Douglas cannot resist the temp-tation
to lake advantage of Miss Ashford' s
desire to talk with a medium and the girl 's
credulity (o have a Spiritualist ic scone
which quile upsets the whole household.
In the end all turns out well. Mr.
Cnltei mole is delighted when he loams
that Douglas is his nephew; Miss Ashford
charmed to hnvo the real Mr. Spalding,
son of their mother 's friend In their house-hold
as secretary. Of course Harry falls
in love with Kva , his cousin 's friend and

A pleasing announcement to the effect
that the Lebanon Valley Glee Club has
been secured to render their concert was
made recently by the officers of the Men's
Bible Class of the First United Brethren
Church under whose auspices it will be
given. The date announced is Thursday
evening, March 18, and it will be given
in the Hershey Central Theatre. The
proceeds will be devoted to the Church
Building Fund.
The Lebanon Valley Glee Club is having
one of the most successful years in its
history. It recently completed a tour of
Cumberland County and at every town
where it appeared it was given a decided
ovation. Last Tuesday the Club gave a
concert and operetta in the Harrisburg
Technical High School before a capacity
house which drew highly commendable
comments from all the Harrisburg papers.
The operetta, "Captain VanHum," or
the "Rollicking Tars" will be presented.
This operetta is in two acts and includes
a number of catchy songs and dialogues.
The plot of the operetta in brief is as
follows:
A small seaport town has been terrorized
by frequent visits from the notorious
pirate Van derHum. Finally, in despera-tion
, the inhabitants appeal to the govern-ment,
and a landing party from a nearby
warship is sent to rid the town of its
gourge. The arrival of the sailors finds
the landsmen on the landing to receive
them. Obadiah, the local orator, ad-dresses
the nervous inhabitants, assuring
them that their troubles are over. Un-known
to them, the pirate is hidden behind
some barrels on the landing where he is
able to survey and enjoy the proceedings.
The sailors enter, followed by the old
Captain 's Crew. Finally Dick Erne
swaggers in pleased with the importance
of himself and his mission and tells the
landsmen, that "the pirate is as good as
gone," but they do not feel quite so sure.
All leave the pier and Van derHum
emerges from his retrea t, plans a method
of escape, and leaves to put his scheme
into execution. The crew return , Dick
reviews his plans, Mrs. Brown enters
frightening him at first, but by flattery
wins his consent to accompany him to
Cro'ssbones Isle. Act 1 ends with the de-parture
for the Isle.
Act II opens with the arrival on the
Isle of the Landsmen , followed by the
rest of the attacking party. Finally all ,
including Dick and Mrs. Brown are on
hand. Mrs. Brown interferes with Dick's
plans and creates situations quite un-expected
to the "gallant coxswain. " The
working out of the general "mixup " will
appear as the operetta progresses.

Further laurels were added to the long
list of the Hershey Olivets when they
handed out a defeat to the fast Mt. Joy
team on the local floor Friday evening.
The final score was 45-38 and although
the margin of victory was small, the locals
seemed to outclass the visitors to a con-siderable
degree. The game was rough
at times, both teams contributing to the
general affect .
Throughout the contest the games at
different times was close enough to hold
the interest of the spectators. At the
end of the first half , the score stood 21-20
in favor of the Hershey boys. Immedi-ately
after the start of play in the second
half , the Olivets forged to the front with
a substantial lead which they managed
to retain until the final whistle announced
the end of the game.
Zimmerman was high scorer from the
field for the Olivets with six baskets to his
credit. He was closely followed by
Strine, who gathered five at the expense
of the Mt. Joy left guard. Ellis was the
individual star for the Mt. Joy team and
he tossed the ball through the net for a
total of seven baskets.
The Tower City Five, champions of the
coal regions, will be the attraction to-morrow
evening and all indications point
to a fast game. The coal region boys
have been taking the measure of all
comers within the past few weeks and they
are anxious to add more victims to their
list. The Olivets however are likely to
spring a few surprises on the visitors and
force them to go home with a defeat in-stead
of a victory.
