MAKING IMPROVEMENTS.
The Nazareth National Bank, of Nazareth, one ot the strongest banks in Pennsylvania ,is ever striving to protect its depositors. This institu¬ tion is at present installing an Ely- Morris ni'inganese steel safe Into their already large burglar-proof vault.
Thi safe weighs three tons, has a triple lock and clock combination and received highest honors at the Pana- ma-P"ucific exhibition in 191."i, it is so thoroughly coiistnicted thut it mtikos il impossible for any depositor to be ill doubt about their deposits as far p:-: hold-ups or robberies are concern¬ ed. Besiili.'s tlioso extensive improve¬ ments there is al all times a day and night watchman patroling the build¬ ing. Can any depositor expect more protection?

KT.AZARETH AND VICINITY is going to pay its.tribute to the service men who ¦••^ bravel>' and gallantly represented us in the great world struggle, on Tuesda>', November 11, the anniversary of the war's ending. These brave boys measured up to the gigantic task assigned them. They paid a big price for their valor, but they never flinched. Now they are veterans of whom all of us are proud. They dis¬ played rare courage. They fought like brave men, and their deeds will ever be re¬ membered. Determination made them heroes, among comrades no less brave. Through France they marched and never turned back until they were triumphant. They did their duty, and more than that could no man do,
Man\' of the soldier boys won the cross of honor for distinguished service. .'Mas, some earned the wooden cross, standing above their graves in France. But there is another cross. It is the greatest cross of them all. We can not see it, but it is very real, for it is carried in the hearts of the loved ones, mother, father, sister, brother, sweetheart of the soldier wearing the wooden cross. This heart cross together with the wooden one, typifies the supreme sacrifice for all mankind. When we celebrate and honor the boys, let us not forget those who carry the heart cross. The bravery of our bn>s and that of our mourning ones should be uppermost in our minds when all Nazareth turns out to greet them.

Whether the churches belonging to the three large Evangelical Lutheran organizations In the United States are bound by the decision of these or¬ ganizations in merging and forming the United Lutheran Church in Amer¬ ica and must afflliate themselves with this new governing body regardless of the decisions of the separate con¬ gregations, is the important question which will be submitted to the court to decide with the close of the suit between officers of the Holy Com¬ munion Lutheran Church, of Harris- burg, and the Rev. John Henry Mil¬ ler, the pastor.
President Judge Kunkel heard the equity case Saturday and Monday, and with another witness to be called by the plaintiff it was decided to contin¬ ue the hearing until Dec. 3. Give Testimony.
The principal witnesses which have been called so far were Dr. Henry EvBter Jacobs, ot Philadelphia, pro¬ fessor ot systematic theology at the Lutheran Theological Seminary, at Philadelphia, a brother ot ex-Judge M. W. Jacobs, of Harrisburg. Dr. Schmunk, of Lebanon, and Dr. H. A. Weller, president of the Pennsylvania Minlstertum of the General Council ot the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Dr. Jacob A. Clutz, professor of practical theology at the Lutheran Theological Semin¬ ary at Gettysburg, will be the first witness called on Dec. 3,
It is claimed in the proceeding that each congreg-ation of the three large Lutheran organizations, is bound by the decision of these bodies in merg¬ ing. These three organizations are the General Synod, the General Coun¬ cil and the United Lutheran Synod In the South.

•The object of this meeling is to find out from   the   people   of Xazareth    as    to    whether they think it advisable to bave some form of demonstration and mem¬ orial for our boys on their return from the front.     In addition to that,  whether it is advisa'ble to put up some memorial In some form and   (I feel thai it should be up to the people of Nazareth to say as to what we wa'nt to do) and trust that every one of you expresses his or her opinion as to what   you   think best to do and whether   you   think it advisable to go ahead with this matter to- night or not.  This should not be a one man affair or a two mon affair;  this should   be   done   by the entire people of this borough I do not know, whether you are all familiar as to the number of boys who have gone to the front. We ha've a list prepared and we do not know whether it contains them all or not.    We Intend to have it published and ask every one to check it and let us know of any boys who are not on same. So far, we ha've tbe names of 248 boys, and considering the num. ber on this list, I think it is cer. tainly a very small gathering to express    the    views of a whole community who naturally    have tbls matter at heart.     My plan, when I called this meeting, was to   leave it to you    ladies    and gentlemen as to what was best to do.    I would   suggest,    how. ever, before we go any further in this matter,    that   you    elect a Chairman, Secretary and Treas¬ urer, as I think    theee    officers will be useful   during   the   next year;  then  we can decide—but get into this thing heartily, make your  suggestions    and    appoint committees   to   investigate, and have your members report back whatever    they    think best.    It this meets with your approval, I will tak Mr. Clarence F. Fehnel to  act  as  temporary   secretary while we make nominations."

The isubject raises a nice point of law. The I bonded liquor was manufactured with I tbe consent and under tbe control of (the government and constitutes legitL j mate    private    property.    The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution pro- hibits the United States from taking private property without   just    com¬ pensation.    The distilleries   demand either the right to sell their property or compensation for it from the gov. ernment.    What will Supreme Court say?    Will it authorize the lifting of war-time prohibition so that bonded iquor may be sold to the public?  Can the government destroy the bonded liquor with or without compensation? Or can it take it over and dispose of it for legitimate purposes, thru gov- ernmemt dispensaries, in the years to come?    If the liquor Is destroyed, the government will  lose three hundred and flfty.eight million dollara tn tax¬ es.    The equity in the caae,   as   pro¬ nounced by any decision    the    court may    make,    will    largely affect the course of Congress, by which the pol¬ icy of the government    toward    this forbidden liquid will be determined.

This step by the board, Mr. Hoover said, resulie<l from the fact thut "raw sugar bas risen be¬ yond the point where it can be bought advantageously for the housewife."
Sugar consumption in the United >'tiiies has increased apparently bo- cause the country has gone dry, said Mr. Hoover. The present consump¬ tion of 93 pounds per capita a year is rhe greatest In the history of the country, he said, last year's consump¬ tion being 73 pound.s, the prevloua high consumption 84 pounds.
The shortage ts not large, he coo- tinaed. The equalization board ha* stated that for November and De¬ cember the supply will be larger tban in past years, but the Increased con¬ sumption leaves a tqlnor shortage.
