              $250 In Premiums
To Be Awarded
At Hershey Show
Farmers in southern Dauphin County
are being urged to select com, potatoes and
poultry for exhibition at the fourth annual
Corn , Potato and Poultry show to be held
in Hershey December 17 to 19 in the Her-shey
Implement Company store room in
the west end of the town.
The committee in charge of the show is
planning to have a bigger and better
exposition than ever and nearly $250 in
premiums will be offered. The show is
strictly a southern Dauphin County insti-tution
and is keenly anticipated every
year by scores of farmers who display their
products as well as by hundreds of people
who visit the display.
'I t is probable that women in the lower
section of the county will have an oppor-tunity
to exhibit their fancy work and
home products in a new department
planned for the first time this year. Those
in charge of the sho'v will be guided in
adding a home economics department by
the amount of interest shown by farm
women in this section.
Co-operating with the Dauphin County
Agricultural Extension Association in
staging the exposition are several com-mittees.
They are : Poultry Committee:
Edward Swope, chairman ; H. G. Ritts, S.
H. Reinhart , H. E. Pontias, L. B. Harper,

Hershey Trips
Mt. Joy Gridmen
Hershey's fast traveling football eleven,
journeyed to Mt. Joy, Saturday where
they handed the latter team a setback,
downing them in a thrilling game by the
score of 13 to 0. Altho getting off to a bad
start , the local hooters, as the season ad-vances,
are developing into a smooth work-ing
machine. In Saturday's game the
whole line showed up to good advantage,
holding Mt. Joy to three first downs while
Hershey registered ten. Rice and Wiley
Were the outstanding stare of the game,
the former making consistent gains when-ever
called upon to carry the ball , while the
tatter 's defensive work in smashing thru
the Mt. Joy line time after time and getting
his man did mucli to kill their opponents
chances to score. Yeagley and Schlepher
also played well for Hershey. Auchen-bach's
recovery of a fumble and run of 30
yards for a touchdown in the first quarter
seemed to take the heart out of the Mt.
Joy players and paved the way for the
local victory. The other score resulted
after a 70-yard march down the field to the
three yard line, where Yeagley carried the
ball across on the fourth down.

Tests Show Worth
Of Cocoa Shells
As Fertilizer
Recent tests conducted here by the
Dauphin County Agricultural Extension
Association show that fertilizer added to
corn not only increases crop production but
aids in maturing corn early.
Although 500 pounds ot 16 per cent, acid
phosphate was the smallest amount .of
fertilizer used in the test, County Agent R.
R. Burtner is recommending that 250
pounds is nearer the best application to
use to hasten maturity of corn from a week
to ten days. Corn usually is filled out
better with the use of fertilizer, the county
agent points out.
Where 500 pounds of acid phosphate
was used in addition to 500 pounds of
cocoa hulls, the yield was 88.3 bushels per
acre, with 90 per cent , cribbable. A yield
of only 69.7 bushels per acre was secured
when 500 pounds of hulls were used with-out
acid phosphate and only 70 per cent,
was cribbable. Where 1000 pounds of
cocoa hulls were used along, the yield was
81.2 bushels per acre, with 80 per cent,
cribbable. In a test in which neither cocoa
hulls nor acid phosphate was used, the
average yield was 63.1 bushels per acre
and only 50 per cent, was cribbable.
Although cocoa hulls were used as the
supplementary fertilizer. County Agent
Burtner believes tha t it would not be
economical for farmers living a distance
from this place to use hulls because of the
dra yage charges. He points out , however,
that the use of acid phosphate has been
proved valuable and will apply in all parts
of the county. The tests were conducted
on the Harvey Hershey farm, Hershey, R.

Cedar Rapids Will
Work Out Kinks Here
The Cedar Rapids Tigers, who occupy
the Thanksgiving Day spot on Tech's
football schedule, have caused plenty of
trouble in western scholastic ranks and
expect to bring their troublesome pro-clivities
along on their second invasion of
the Island battlefield.
Cedar Rapids have won all the games to
date, but have tsvo hard ones on their
schedule before they meet Tech, these
being Stillwater, Minnesota, and Louis-ville,
Ky.
The scores of Cedar Rapids to date are
as follows:
C. R. 15 Bowen High, Chicago, 6
C. R. 32 Spirit Lake, 0
C. R. 32 Moline, Illinois, 7
C. R. 34 Ottumwa, 0
C. R. 38 Sioux Falls, South Dakota. 7
There are many new names in Cedar
Rapids lineup this year. Marek and
Uridel are with Ohio State; Murril is with
Minnesota University; Young, Kinch and
Cuhel are at Iowa University; Maresh
and Healy with Michigan University.
Hines, Hahn, Heath, McClung and Brown
are the only members of the 1924 team that
remain on this year's lineup. Captain
Kauffman is assisting Coach Novak.
Coach Novak in a recent communication
addressed to John F. Snavely, secretary of
the Hershey Men's Club, states that he
was a little worried about the boys at the
beginning of the season, but that they have
come through in good shape. He also
states that he does not have the individual
stars that he had last year, but the team is
well-balanced nevertheless.
The Cedar Rapids team will again be
Hershey 's guests. Coach Novak was
unable to state just how long the team
would be here, possibly several days,
possibly but for several hours, depending
altogether upon when they leave Louis-ville.

Drop Empty Milk Chocolate Carton
Containing Love Letter Upon Heads Of
Awed Spectators Of a Calif ornia Town
A new era in the history of hghter-than-air
navigation was written upon the com-pletion
of the big navy airship Shenan-doah's
remarkable and record-breaking
9000 mile cruise. The Shenandoah was
the first American-built rigid airship to
make the first westbound voyage across the
United States and return. The Shenan-doah
was the first rigid ship ever west of
the Mississippi River, and the first to sail
over the Pacific Ocean at any point.
The successful voyage of the Shenandoah
sent a thrill throughout the entire world,
and when the information reached "The
Chocolate and Cocoa Town" that Her-shey's
Milk Chocolate was a part of the
ship's ration, the thrill was all the greater.
The test of the ship and of the men—a
test as severe as any ship ever faced—had
been met. Through the nights and days,
many of them fraught with perils which
were avoided only by hours of sleepless
duty, the officers and men of the big dirig-ible
stood watch or caught a brief rest on
bunks in their cramped quarters.
Who knows but that the rich , creamy,
delicious and nutritive food values of
Hershey 's Milk Chocolate, recognized the
world-over by explorers, athletes, soldiers,
sailors and others who are required to
endure muscular exertion for prolonged
periods which entail great physical en-durance,
was the important factor in keep-ing
the officers and men fit to bring about
the successful completion of a cruise that
had been as severe a test for the men as for
the ship?
The Hershey Chocolate Company re-ceived
this information from M. Chester
Merrill , a supervisor of the Humboldt
Redwood Reforestation Association, of
Eureka, California, who, in a bright and
breezy manner, penned the following :
Eureka , California,
October 17, 1924..
Hershey Chocolate Co., *
- Hershey, Pa.,
Gentlemen :
The enclosed clippings and section of a
Hershey carton are attributes to the ele-vated
attainments which the product of
vour firm has reached here in Californ ia .
Hershey goods surely rate high, when the
containers descend from the clouds to
herald its use and quality,
Explanations are, that the giant Zeppe-lin
, entitled the 'Shenandoah' , passed over
the cities of Eureka and Samoa, California ,
about four o'clock on October 17, and
members of the crew, who were evidently
enjoying a feast of 1 lershey candy, dropped
the empty carton upon the heads of the
awed spectators, who crowded the streets'
housetops, to obtain a view of the giant
craft. When opened it was found to con-tain
a letter addressed to a young lady in
Fortuna, California. The aeronauts
watched the downward flight of the box ,
with the aid of field glasses, and when they
saw that it had been picked up, they
waved their hands in token of approval.
What could have been more appropriate
than the thought of sending sweet messages
in a box which had previously contained
sweets, which any girl would enjoy. The
box thus served a double purpose.
Tonight there are many small sections of
cardboard, similar to the enclosed speci-men,
and all are preciously guarded as
historical souvenirs, representing bits of
material which have experienced, in an
unconscious way, the distinction of being
chosen to ride in the first of Uncle Sam's
great naval dirigibles, the 'Shenandoah',
while the aviators are wending their way
northward, perhaps singing the old ditty,
'One, Two, Three, Four-Oh! How I Wish
There Were More!' This makes your
candy pretty closely allied to the touted
food for angels, which so many producers
endeavor to produce.
Sincerely yours,
M. Chester Merrill ,
Supervisor.
In reply to Mr. Merrill's letter for per-mission
to print it , the writer gave his
permission, and excerpts from it , are as
follows:
" The enclosed clipping from a local
paper will assure you that others than
myself enjoyed your bountiful present , and
I am glad that you can use the material I
sent as partial reciprocation for your gen-erosity.
"1 hope that I have assisted you in your
broadcasting of the Hershey slogan , for I
am staunch in my belief that your quality
is unattainable by others."
The newspaper clipping is a follows:
"The Hershey Chocolate Company, of
Hershey, Pa., bountifully acknowledged a
letter from M. C. Merril , of Samoa, ex-plaining
an incident pertaining to the U. S.
Dirigible Shenandoah , by presenting him
with two boxes of their select chocolates in
recognition of interesting material sub-mitted.
"When the giant dirigible sailed grace-fully
over Samoa, the observers could be
plainly seen in their cozy compartments,
casting condescending glances at the in-habitants
of that town, intermingled with
the entire mill and office forces of the
Hammond Lumber company. As if in
derision of the envious crowds below, they
were seen to throw tiny bits of paper from
one of the windows, which sailed lightly
on the gentle breeze, gradually nearing the
folk-dotted sand dunes below. As these
apparently tiny bits of material ap-proached
terra firma , a rush was made to
secure them for souvenirs of the occasion ,
and upon inspection they were found to be
Hershey chocolate cartons. One of them
contained a letter for a school teacher in
Fortuna , which was duly mailed , and its
container multi-sected to satisfy a natura'
American habit; that of souvenir collec-tion.
"Merrill secured one of these valuable
bits, and forwarded it to the chocolate
manufacturers at Hershey, Pennsylvania,
with an appropriate story of the incident ,
and received by return mail a kind letter of
appreciation together with two cartons of
select chocolates, neatly packed for holiday
use. The chocolate feast enjoyed on the
Shenandoah was thus shared by those who
had gazed upward with eyes of envy, for
the Hammond office force, ensemble.
Nevertheless most of those who have
shared the fest , still are envious of those
among the clouds who likewise partook. "
The Shenandoah cast off from its moor-ing
at Lakehurst, New Jersey, on October
7th , and 445 hours later it had completed
its cruise. In that time the Shenandoah
had been flying with its engines running for
257 hours and 38 minutes, and moored to a
mast 187 hours and 22 minutes. The
latter includes five days, or 120 hours, the
ship was being repaired.
None of the precious helium was lost by
difficulties during the voyage. " All tha t
escaped was valved to permit landing or
set free by automatic safety valves under
the expansion of the high altitudes.
For every minute through the entire
cruise the ship was able to maintain con-stant
radio communications with the land ,
frequently with stations several thousand
miles distant. Weather reports, official
messages, instructions as to mooring hours
and thousands of words of press messages
were sent and received .
The actual flying time between cities,
deducting the time taken in locating the
mooring masts through the fogs, was 235
hours and 11 minutes. The fastest express
trains between the same cities make the
run in 272 hours and 30 minutes , also
deducting time for connections. The five
300-horse|x>wer motors of the ship ran
without a stop during sailing hours. The
shortest voyage between cities was a
thirty-six hours' period , For more of the
cruise the motors were turning over at
1200 revolutions a minute .
During the few critical hours when the
big, heavily loaded ship was crossing the
crest of the Rockies at a height of 7200 feet
the engines were roaring at MOO revolu-tions
a minute. 1 lad a single one hesitated
the navy 's pride of the air probably would
be resting today a ruined wreck in a moun-tain
chasm.
Fuel consumption , including a small
amount for the radio generator and the
cooking range, averaged a gallon a mile ,
the twenty immense gas cells, each from
15,(XM ) to 20,(K)0 cubic feel capacity, inside
of the long silvered lube of the ship, stood
up equally well.
TheMan About Town
Lewis Cassady to make good his
promises of supplying rabbit dinners on
Saturday again went on the quest for
bunnies. This time he was more success-ful
, getting his share, also a squirrel.
Wm. Mclser and John Barnard are
Hershey's steeplejacks. For quite some

Luthera n Chinch had a habit of flip-flopping,
which wna quite annoying to the
bell-chilli*., A& n r esult these two'young
men on Saturday' aftelffoon sought a

and in an Ingenious manner soon set the

Ii'vin Slesser IN a Ninirdd (If no little
skill , so he went squirrel hunting, thinking
that perhaps he might be able to return
with a millicient number with which to
make himself a nice fur coat. After some
little scurrying about in the wo<xls( nea r
Hummelslown, he ran a jlm dandy up a
tree, Looking down the hillside he espied
LeRoy Umhcrgcr, who also had his trusty
gun. Mr. Slesser hailed Mr. Umberger ,
and informed him of the squirrel up the
tree. So Mr. Umberger with much agility
and speed soon made himself up the hill to
where Mr. Souirrel was an Interested
spectator. So laying t heir guns under the
t ree they got a good hold of It , and with
much endeavor and exertion shook It , hut
Mr. Squirrel still remained safe and secure.
Again going to the I IIHIC they redoubled
their efforts, mid the lice shook and
trembled as If it were In the path of a
hurricane, until Mr. Squirrel lost his hold
and with one Ixnmd was out of It s branches.
My the time that the two s|x>rtHiiien got
their guns Mr. Souirrel hud disappeared ,
and they had all Inch trouble for nothing.
Wm. Curtis, us la well known, is one of
Hershey 's ardent motorists, traveling the
highways and byways In his new Maxwell
roadster. The other evening IK; gallantly
offered to take a lady to 1 lairisburg in his
new gas wagon , which she accepted most
willingly. Upon arriving at 13th and
Deny streets , where is stationed a silent
officer that flashes a green and red light ,
Mr. Curtis became somewhat bewildered ,
and forthwith began to manipulate the
|)edals and levers in a rather haphazard
manner , with a result that his Maxwell
began to hulk , and it continued to balk
until Mill and his fair passenger concluded
that they were out west, on a bucking
broncho, To make the matter all the

Lutheran Bible
Class Organize
Brotherhood
On Monday evening in Holy Trinity
Lutheran Church a good attendance/of the
members of the S. S. Games Memorial
Bible Class demonstrated their interest in
the formulation of a Lutheran Brother-hood
, and definite steps were taken to put
into action such an organization. The
meeting was in charge of Harold Weis-haupt
, president of the class, with the
following members present: Harold M.
Weishaupt , Julius Belser, Robt. Stable,
Wilson Rhoads, John Hummer, E. LeRoy
Stable, John Barnard , A. T. Heiiman , Geo.
Copenhaver, Edward M. Miller , Rev.
Paul M. Kinports, Dr. H. G. Mumma,
John Leese, H. L. Spohn , Ansel King,
Norman Stable , Irving Uhler and John
Schlepfer. The following officers were
nominated for the ensuing year: President ,
Julius E. Belser, Joseph R. Snavely and
Rev. Paul M. Kinports; vice-president ,
Grover C. Sheckart , John Hummer and
John Snavely; secretarv , Norman Stable:
treasurer, John F. Leese; teachers, Rev.
Paul M. Kinports, Dr. H. G. Mumma,
John E. Snyder and Charles F. Zeigler.
The business meeting was followed by an
enthusiastic discussion on the organiza-tion
of a Brotherhood. The congregation
for sometime has felt the need for such an
organized force of the man power of the
church , to do the many things that can
best be done by the men and which will not
be done without them. The organization
will be distinctly and definitely an organi-zation
of service to the church and com-munity,
and to help as it may be able in
the many acts of Christian service. Dr.
H. G. Mumma and Rev. P. M. Kinports
were elected to attend the meeting of the
Brotherhood of the Ministerium of Penn-sylvania
, at Bethlehem, on Thursday,
Nov. 13th. The speaker of the evening
was Rev. Kinports who was asked to
substitute for Mr. John E. Snyder, who
was unable to attend. Rev. Kinports
used as his subject "Men and Religion in
the Sunday School."
The social committee served delicious
refreshments. The next meeting will be
held on the 8th of December, with Mr. J.
E. Snyder as the speaker.
Baby Clinic browing
The number of babies attending the
Hershey Baby Clinic is growing steadily.
On Thursday afternoon of last week there
were thirteen in attendance.
It was decided at a recent meeting of the
local Red Cross that a prize would be given
to the baby who has the most regular
attendance record at the end of a three
months' period .
There is a physician in attendance at the
Clinic, and all mothers in Hershey and
vicinity are urged to take full advantage of
the opportunity that presents itself. It is
quite some satisfaction to a mother to
know whether her baby is'gaining or losing
weight. Helpful advice is also given to
aid in the solving the many problems that
arise during babyhood.
Red Cross Makes Plea
I he readers of the Press are urged not
to throw old clothing away, or lo sell it to
the junk man for a trifle. It will be far
better , and it will do more good, if il be

Why Parents Should
Visit The School
The effectiveness of the schools of a
community depends largely upon the
interest that the people take in them. In
a community where the parents visit the
schools and become acquainted with the
teachers and learn all that they can about
the conditions under which the teachers
and the pupils work, there are likely to be
better schools than in the community
where no parent ever steps inside the
schoolhouse door.
Carping criticism often comes from those
persons who never look inside a school-room
but who depend upon "gossip" for
information. First-hand information is
the best ; therefore those parents who are
really interested in the schools will visit
them several times each term.
Reasons Why Parents Should Visit The
Schools
1. To keep in touch with the work of
their children.
2. To encourage the teachers.
3. To get first hand information about
the work of the schools.
4. To show their willingness to co-operate
with the administration of the school.
5. For the effect it will have on the pupil
to know that parents and teachers are
working together in his training and
discipline.
6. To observe at first hand the conditions
under which the children spend five or
six hours a day.
(Other reasons could easily be added.)
What To Observe On Your Visit
1. The sanitary conditions of the school
building.
2. The general discipline and manage-ment
of the school.
3. The attitude of the teacher toward the
children.
4. , The attitude of the children toward
the teacher.
5. The size of the classes.
(5. Facilities and supplementary materials
supplies, etc.
7. To what extend their own children
participate in school activities.
View the children from an angle other
8.th an that of the home.
HERSHEY PARENTS SHOULD NOT
BE NEGLECTFUL OF THEIR DUTY
The week of Nov. 17 to 23 has been set
apart as American Kducation Week.
During this week not only educational
institutions but every agency that is
interested in the welfare of our citizenship
is laying stress on education. Requests
for speakers are being made everywhere,
communities are holding mass meetings
and the ministers of all denominations are
urged to preach a sermon on education ,
either morning or evening.
As a community I lershey does not want
lo neglect to do its duty in this respect.
1 lershey will soon be able to boast ol two
magnificent school bui ldings that are
second to none in this part of the stale.
School buildings alone will not determine
the character of the schools, The school
exists for the child and is the means thru
which the community is assured of whole-some
future growth. It is the means by
which the state is attempting lo provide
for tin ' f u t u r e welfare of the individual and
the group, The Parent , the Child and the
Teacher form an inseparable- triangle. The
three must work together In close harmony
and understanding lo secure the best
results , If either the Parent , the Child or
I In? Teacher is not sympathetic , the educa-tion
of the child inevitably suffers.
