SIX BOYS M.IKE RECORD PROFIT WITH THEIR HENS BATH MAN HIRT I.V ALTO.MOBILE .ACtlDEXT A year ago six boys in Blair coun¬ ty started out to clear $1000 profit In twelve months from their individ¬ ually owned poultry flocks. They thought they had a hard row to hoe, and went into the game with a great show of interest. They had a total of 645 hens, a little money to start feeding, and the courage of their convictions to succeed. They not only made their $1000 gain, hut they topped that amount by just $732.75, and have already started to better that record in the coming year. Reports have just been compiled by the Pennsylvania State College club work division of the agricultural extension depart¬ ment on the wonderful record made by these boys. They are convincing enough to have already organized boys and girls in eight other com¬ munities of the Btate to make money on the Thousaid Dollar Poultry Club plan. Th« Blair county boys attended the Martlnsburg Vocatlon- On Wednesday evening, officers were called to the .Minai Trail bridge and Broad street, Bethlehem, where there was an automobile accident in which George Zegalia, of Bath, R. D. No. 1, and his son, Stephen, figured. Dr. A. D. Heller was called and sent the father to the hospital. The son escaped injury. The machine, a Ford, badly damaged. Was ri_'nio\'Td. The accident hoppened when Zeg¬ alia hit a high rail which turned t!;e rjachlne around and caused it to skid. Zegalia suffered bruises and lacerations.

We wish we could ,i,ive every one of our many subscribers a 11 '\^y of the original issue, so that they niight compare it with today's large and \ieli-printed ])aper. Then the paper was stuall, but so was the comtnuiiity. To us it is a feeling of satisfac¬ tion to look back so many years and to rea¬ lize that the "Item" has kep.t pace with the town. Though we feel that we have kept f>ace with progress locally, we know full well that there is much that might be done. So each week we continue to look for ways to improve our service. We have, during the past year, endeav¬ ored to rouse the community tq act in closer unison. We sincerely be;ie\e .n tht poten¬ cy of co-operation. While w'e have not dis¬ covered any really dangerous discordant notes in our local affairs, we firmly believe that much greater success should be ours, it we had a live Chamber of Cotnmerce to unify the business and social interests of .N'azareth. Our oft reiteration of this fact in our columns was based upon this belief, ,'ind our love for Nazareth and its surround¬ ings, atid the welfare of its people, was our motive. It siems the time is not yet ^ipe for the full .-ealization of this our hope. But we are n.)t (I'scouraged, and we will continue our ef¬ forts for a greater, better Xazareth. Times will improve, and we are optimistic etioiigh to believe that Xazareth will have its full share. I'erhaps then will be the time for a VIHire perfect co-operation. ()ur eiideavtjr during the year, as in past, has been to give our readers all local news possible. Our patrons have no¬ ticed that so much of home news has been gathered for their benefit that very often our advertising has been crowded. We have good reason to believe that there is no other paper in Pennsylvania that features the home news as does the "Item." We als(j claim a superior mechanical ap¬ pearance for your hotne paper. We invite comparison with any well printed paper as regards the arrangement of the news and the clean ]irint. These things do not just hajjpen. They re(|uire thought and intelli¬ gent workmanship. We are glad to do all this for our patrons, and wish them to be proud of their home paper. We would indeed be remiss to our duty were we to fail to mention our advertisers. Our readers have noticed that all the lead- . ing merchants advertise in the "Item." We greatly appreciate their loyal support. Our readers are wise if they consistently lead the advertisements. Suppose each merchanf were to call on each of you personally once a week. Your bell would be ringing con¬ stantly, and what a nuisance it would be. But he sends you a message each week that you can read leisurely at your fireside, rest¬ ing in your easy chair. In this way you can receive their message each week without noise or confusion, and both the advertiser and the reader will benefit. Xeed we assure you that we will continue steadfastly in our efforts to improve the "Item"? We crave the continuetl support ct our readers and advertisers, and we will give the best there is in us to help all the I)eople of our thriving community. Thanks for wishing us a happy birthday! ST. JOHN LUTHERAN'S IMPRESSIVE SERVICES Delightful Musical Service Last Sunday—Instal¬ lation of Sunday School Board In Even¬ ing—Thank Offering Service The musical service in St. John's Lutheran church on Sunday evening was a very successful event.

They took their places before the altar when the pastor hi a brief but pithy address placed be¬ fore them the duties that lievolved upon them and the responsibilities they were about to assume. After the address the pastor invoked God's richest blessing upon this large number of willing servants. It was an impressive service to see such a large niMnbc- -¦' men and women standing li :.. resence of their Creator rt- dy to uo their Master's work and goleiatnf promising to re¬ main loyal and faithful to their trust cannot help but bring Rood re¬ sults.

SIX BOYS M.IKE RECORD
PROFIT WITH THEIR HENS
BATH MAN HIRT I.V
ALTO.MOBILE .ACtlDEXT
A year ago six boys in Blair coun¬ ty started out to clear $1000 profit In twelve months from their individ¬ ually owned poultry flocks. They thought they had a hard row to hoe, and went into the game with a great show of interest. They had a total of 645 hens, a little money to start feeding, and the courage of their convictions to succeed.
They not only made their $1000 gain, hut they topped that amount by just $732.75, and have already started to better that record in the coming year. Reports have just been compiled by the Pennsylvania State College club work division of the agricultural extension depart¬ ment on the wonderful record made by these boys. They are convincing enough to have already organized boys and girls in eight other com¬ munities of the Btate to make money on the Thousaid Dollar Poultry Club plan. Th« Blair county boys attended the Martlnsburg Vocatlon-
On Wednesday evening, officers were called to the .Minai Trail bridge and Broad street, Bethlehem, where there was an automobile accident in which George Zegalia, of Bath, R. D.

The accident hoppened when Zeg¬ alia hit a high rail which turned t!;e rjachlne around and caused it to skid. Zegalia suffered bruises and lacerations.

lull of treiiidatioii and misgivings, yet the lielief that Xazareth needed a paper have by now been fully justified. We wish we could ,i,ive every one of our many subscribers a 11 '\^y of the original issue, so that they niight compare it with today's large and \ieli-printed ])aper.
Then the paper was stuall, but so was the comtnuiiity. To us it is a feeling of satisfac¬ tion to look back so many years and to rea¬ lize that the "Item" has kep.t pace with the town. Though we feel that we have kept f>ace with progress locally, we know full well that there is much that might be done. So each week we continue to look for ways to improve our service.
We have, during the past year, endeav¬ ored to rouse the community tq act in closer unison. We sincerely be;ie\e .n tht poten¬ cy of co-operation. While w'e have not dis¬ covered any really dangerous discordant notes in our local affairs, we firmly believe that much greater success should be ours, it we had a live Chamber of Cotnmerce to unify the business and social interests of .N'azareth. Our oft reiteration of this fact in our columns was based upon this belief, ,'ind our love for Nazareth and its surround¬ ings, atid the welfare of its people, was our motive.
It siems the time is not yet ^ipe for the full .-ealization of this our hope. But we are n.)t (I'scouraged, and we will continue our ef¬ forts for a greater, better Xazareth. Times will improve, and we are optimistic etioiigh to believe that Xazareth will have its full share. I'erhaps then will be the time for a VIHire perfect co-operation.
()ur eiideavtjr during the year, as in past, has been to give our readers all local news possible. Our patrons have no¬ ticed that so much of home news has been gathered for their benefit that very often our advertising has been crowded. We have good reason to believe that there is no other paper in Pennsylvania that features the home news as does the "Item."
We als(j claim a superior mechanical ap¬ pearance for your hotne paper. We invite comparison with any well printed paper as regards the arrangement of the news and the clean ]irint. These things do not just hajjpen. They re(|uire thought and intelli¬ gent workmanship. We are glad to do all this for our patrons, and wish them to be proud of their home paper.
We would indeed be remiss to our duty were we to fail to mention our advertisers. Our readers have noticed that all the lead- . ing merchants advertise in the "Item." We greatly appreciate their loyal support. Our readers are wise if they consistently lead the advertisements. Suppose each merchanf were to call on each of you personally once a week. Your bell would be ringing con¬ stantly, and what a nuisance it would be. But he sends you a message each week that you can read leisurely at your fireside, rest¬ ing in your easy chair. In this way you can receive their message each week without noise or confusion, and both the advertiser and the reader will benefit.
Xeed we assure you that we will continue steadfastly in our efforts to improve the "Item"? We crave the continuetl support ct our readers and advertisers, and we will give the best there is in us to help all the I)eople of our thriving community.
Thanks for wishing us a happy birthday!

The newly elected oflicers and teachers of St. John's Lutheran Sun¬ day school were publicly installed on Sunday evening at the regular Ves¬ per service. They took their places before the altar when the pastor hi a brief but pithy address placed be¬ fore them the duties that lievolved upon them and the responsibilities they were about to assume. After the address the pastor invoked God's richest blessing upon this large number of willing servants. It was an impressive service to see such a
large niMnbc- -¦' men and women standing li :.. resence of their Creator rt- dy to uo their Master's work and goleiatnf promising to re¬ main loyal and faithful to their trust cannot help but bring Rood re¬ sults. The congreg^ion can expect great things from these people dur¬ ing the coming year.
