Association To Build Will R. Beitel Children's Home
Directors Visit Location Where Home Is To Be
Erected—Home Will Be a Blessing to Many
Poor Children—Real Estate To Be Sold
Last week the directors of the Will R. Beitel Home .Vssociation, visited the sfte where the new Chil¬ dren's Home is to be erected, view¬ ing tlie lay of tho ground with the prolKiliility of definitely locating the spot where the home is to be erect¬ ed. Tho tract lays between West Centre street a;id Manch Chunk street, and contains more than four acres ot ground. Along Centre street the tract is greatly elevated and here at this point is where John r, Hoitel had selected the location for the home, with a pretty southern view, covering a distance of miles between N'azaretli and Bethlehem and stretcliing toward Allentown. as well as a beautiful view to fjaston and through tlie Dryland district. Along Mauch Chunk street tho land liiys low as in a Hat. low-land valley.'
Tliore fecins to be a difference of opinion among the directors in re¬ gard to locating the home, some tliinking it should be up on the bluff, nicely elevated, while others seem to favor the Mauch Chunk street front on the flat.    The matter
ot finally locating the home will soon liavo to be decided, because architects are about to be employed tu prepare plans for the buildings, and conseciuently one of the first things necessary tor the arcliitect to work on will be the location.
With this area of over four acres it can be developed in;o a beautiful s|)0f tor tho Cliildren's Home and what a blessing it can be made to furnish a home tor a number of chil¬ dren who are not being properly supported and trninod and taught how to live. With the proper super¬ vision over these young lives they can grow up to become most excel¬ lent citizens.
Tho directors also inspected the real estate aliout town belonging to tlio estate and decided to soil some of the homes located aiiout town and tbe vacant  building lots.
The board of directors is compos¬ ed of Hon. R. C, Stewart, William Somple and William Daub, Easton, and L. P. Kostenbader, Samuel R. Odenwelder, A. L. Shinier and Harry 13. Miinger, of Nazareth.
AUTO TAGS READY; NHXTENSION
State   Dept.   at   Hanisburg
Complains Motorists Are
Delaying Applications
Motorists who tail to have their l!t22 automobile rogistration tags by January 1 will have no plausible ex¬ cuse, so far as the state highway de¬ partment at Harrisburg is concern¬ ed. H. M. James, director of the ex¬ tension bureau of the department, calls attention to the lack of appli¬ cations for delivery of tags.
He says the department is making an earnest effort to have an early de¬ livery of-all tags, but Is hampered by the fact that applications are not being forwarded by the 700,000 li¬ cense holders  ot  the state.
"You understand, of course," the letter says, "that it is not humanly possible to make immediate deliver¬ ies if 300,000 or 400,000 applica¬ tions are received within a period of one week. For that reason the state highway department advanced 1922 deliveries to November 1, in order to give automobile owners every op¬ portunity to obtain their tags with¬ out delay."
In view of the fact that there will be no extension of the timo limit in 1922, automobile owners who do not have their new tags on their cars af¬ ter the flrst of the new year are lia¬ ble to arrest and fine.

JEWELER PRIZES 'COON-INTING DOG
Hound From   Virginia Idol¬ ized by Local Sportsman —Refuses Other Trails
Ralph Saeger, the jeweler. Is one of our townsmen who delights In hunting and his greatest sport Is liunting for raccoons. For several yoars he has been trying to secure a good, well trained dog for this pur¬ pose and after trying several, none were satisfactory, until quite recent¬ ly he purchased a hound In Virginia and this fellow is a gem and Mr. Saeger says he would not part with him for a thousand dollars. They have become real chums and the dog has learned to know his good-natured master. This dog's training is the best. For instance, v.hon they go out on a hunt the hound immediately starts on the run und will never give a sound un¬ til he has a trail of a 'coon. -As soon as he scents tho 'coon trail he will bark and then his master knows V hut is to be expected, either a fight lietween the 'coon and dog, or the coon has crawled up a tree and the dog will hold him there until his master comes, continually barking, calling his master to follow him. One of the wonderful features of this well-trained dog is that he will not take the trail of uny other animal while out on a hunt—ne is simply a 'coon hunter, which is a strong fea¬ ture in his character. Many ,ilogs « hen out on a 'coon hunt will chase rabbits and other animals, greatly disappointing their m.ister. There is a great deal of sport in u genuine 'coon hunt and this Mr. Saeger ex¬ perienced only recently when one night he captured a large fat 'coon.
