The circumstances are as follows; Three weeks ago the CommUslon directed the appearance before it of representatives of the Bell Tele¬ phone Company of Fennsylvania t3 consider the possibility of s rate re¬ duction Very little discussion was required to determine clearly tte fact that improved general bualnem conditions had and was continuing to have substantial effect upon the gross and net revenues of the Tele- (>hone Company.

Whether or not busi¬ nessmen take advantage of this op¬ portunity rests entirely in their hinds and depends upon the pro¬ gressive spirit of tte Individual. Nazareth has a few window dis¬ plays that command attention and reflect the progresslveness af the merchant, but Naaareth also has a few windows that reflect the op¬ posite—whether that be negligence. ^ver^lght or forgetfulness, a poor window display has the same poor effect A week or two ago efforts were exerted to sponsor a movement for more and better .-treet lights for Nizareth. but the movement lost m-wen'um as the time for some definite action neared. ao. as the br;«ht-colored picture faded, the franif that supported it collapsed To-,iav manv of the petltloner't for better liahts remark that Nazareth certainly would make a splendid appearance if there were boulevard light standards all drrs,sed up In colored bultis and everiT'^n.s—ani we si: agree but there can te no misunderstanding that if all tte display windows were pfwperlv drcM- ed and lighted eech evening a lot of gloomy comers might be made much more cheerful and attractive looking as wrU. » v.%NisMiNo rsarr A vanishing party was teld at tte heme ot Miss Ruth Dombleaer at aos South Maia Street on Tttaadav evening with the praeeeds gali« to the Motters Class of St. ittm% tvangeUcal-Heformed Chureh. ef which Mte DombUser ia a in tte Contlnuliig flrmly rooted their traditional carols in tte MaS School Auditorium on Sunday aftSP- noon at 3:00 o'clock and on Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'eloek.
