Prosperity Drive Reaps
A Bumper Business
Crop Every Time
Ten weeks ago tlie National Retail Clothier started its camp¬
aign for Prosperity Drives. Since that time many cities and towns
have taken the suggestion, ln no instance has there been an
unfavorable report. The Prosperity Drive reaps a bumper business
crop every time. It never fails according* to those who have tried
it Among the cities who have found it successful arc Syracuse,
ft. Y.; Dallass, Texas: Harrisburgh, 111. J (..airy, Ind.. Houston,
Texas; Washington, Ga,, and many others, large and small.
Utica, K. Y., broke the buyers'
strike with a Prosperity Drive. The
merchants working through the
t'tica Chamber of Commerce stimu¬
lated every member to active
participation. They called it a Buy-
Now Prosperity Sale. They placed
the details under the Mercantile
Affairs Committee of the Chamber
and they went to work to:
Attract the buying public of
Utica and surrounding territory inte
the market in throngs by offering
substantial price reductions.
Permit the merchant to move his
stock quickly and in volume and
send him into the market as a buyer.
To restore normal Prosperity as a
result of the above.
Advertising campaigns were map¬
ped out and the merchants arranged
to Insert publicity three days before
^the sale in special "Buy Now Pros-
rvjerity Sale" editions of the Utica
papers. The big event was an¬
nounced with a bang.
There merchants secured Prospet-
ity Posters, Prosperity poster stamps
and Prosperity car cards, the official
posters of the National Prosperity
Eureau through the local Chamber
Of Commerce. They used the stamps
on all out-going mail. They dis¬
played the car cards not later than
three days before the sale. They
made the official posters the basic
theme of all the advertising and
decoration and displayed them in
the windows and stores. They used
the 21 sheet posters on their but
boards.
ON MOTHER'S DAY
The Chamber of Commerce used
a certain amount of space in the
advertising columns of the local
newspapers to endorse the campaign
to secure the co-operation of the
hotels, restaurants, clubs, which had
Prosperity lunches on each day of
the sale. The street railways and
steam railways were notified to pro¬
vide special facilities for suburban
shoppers. . Various bodies, such as
the Botary Club, Economy Club, and
other organizations provided speak¬
ers for the Prosperity luncheons and
dinners during the sale.
In informing the National Pros¬
perity Bureau of the success of the
plan John J. Duffy, secretary, said:
"The celebration was a tremendous
eye-opener. It was far more than
a mere three day sale. It has con¬
verted the public's attitude in favor
of renewed buying. It awakened
the merchant to the necessity and
benefits of re-attracting his own
customers by naking prices again
attractive. The sale lasted three
days, but ln fact it has continued
ever since. Business is picking up
here. We have given Gloom an aw¬
ful blow in Utica. Our members
broke all sales records. What Utica

Nazareth Music Lovers had thi
opportunity to attend another rare
musical treat laBt Wednesday at the
organ recital by Prof. T. Edgar
Shields, of Bethlehem, given in the
St. John's Lutheran church. A
highly appreciative audftence at¬
tended. Bethlehem Is truly fortun¬
ate in having in their midst several
organists who have proved them¬
selves to be of the highest calibre.
Of these Prof. Shields ranks among
the best. His activity in mus.cal
organizations about the city has won
for him a high place in the musical
circles of that city. At present he
is organist and musical directoi m
the church of the Nativity. Under
his leadership the Bass Clef Club
has gained a worthy place in the
circle of vocal musical organizations.
He is also the director of the music
group of the Thursday Evening
Club, a club which has for its aim
the promotion and production of the
best in literature, art, music, etc.
His renditions were especially well
chosen. Lovers of Bach were de-
l'ghted with theToccata and Fugue
in D minor. The audience appeared
to be most receptive to this type of
music and this Bach rendition, if we
may be permitted to be bit partial,
met with greatest favor. The Moz¬
art Minuet and Martini Gavotte also
deserve special  mention.
Prof. Shields was assisted by Miss
Pauline Michel, violinist, and Mr.
Hans Dressel, 'celloist. Miss Michel
is another of Bethlehem's talented
musicians. She has appeared in
Nazareth on former occasions. Those
who have heard her play, will not
miss any opportunity to hear her.
Her solo, Andante by Lalo, was w-ell
chosen and rendered in her master¬
ful  style.
Mr. Dressel needs no introduction
to tlie music lovers of Nazareth. His
work as director of the Music Lover's
Club has been highly commendable
and greatly appreciated. As a
'cellist he is a master. His solos
well exhibited his beautiful tone and

The Home Town Paper
How
the   heart   grows  soft   and   tender   while   its  columns  you're
perusing,
Every item is familiar, every name you know full  well.
And a flood of recollection passes o'er you while you're musing
On the past, and weaves about you an imaginative spell.
You can see the old home village once again in fancy, seeming
To be clasping hand of neighbor and of friend and relative;
And   their  faces  rise  before  you  as  you're  idly,   fondly  dreaming
O'er tha little couitry paper printed where you used to live.
—Kansas  Industrialist.
For some years it has been thb
custom at Nazareth Hall Military
Academy to observe May 3rd as
"Founders' Day," for on May 3rd,
1755, the corner stone of the Main
Hall was laid. This was the build¬
ing which has been intended to be
the headquarters of Count Zinzen-
dorf, who was then expected to make
a visit to America, in connection
with his extensive missionary wmk.
It was however, never used by
the Count, and, in 1759 it was de¬
termined to use it to house the
school which had been established
in Nazareth for boya as early as
1743.
On Tuesday, May 3rd, the present
cadets marched in battalion form-
jation from the Hall Campus to the
I "Grey Cottage," the name given to
the log building at east end of
town, in which the first school was
j held. There, on the little porch,
Bishop J. Taylor Hamilton, D. D„
president of the Moravian Colleg';
jand Theological Seminary, Bethle¬
hem, delivered a short, but remark¬
ably appropriate address to the
cadets, describing conditions under
which that pioneer school was
founded, and the development of the
first years of Its existence. This
was then the country of the Indians,
who rightly resented the sharp
practice of the white men, as illus¬
trated in the famous "Walking
Purchase." After the first estab¬
lishment of the school at Nazareth,
it was moved to Bethlehem for a
time, and finally, in June, 1759, 111
hoys, with 19 instructors and assist¬
ants, marched through the woods to
Nazareth, and the school found its
new home in the Manor House,
v. hich Count Zinzendorf was not to
use, but which was admirably
adapted to the new purpose. Prayer
was offered after Dr. Hamilton's talk
by the Rev. W. H. Vogler, secretary
and treasurer of the Nazareth Hall
Alumni Association.
In the groups of visitors were also
Mi. and Mrs. H. A. Sonn, of New¬
ark, N. J.; Mrs. Wolfenden, of Card-
ington; a number of the teachers,
and the Principal and his wife. Mr.
Sonn is the president of the New
York branch of the Alumni Associ¬
ation, and his visit was very oppor¬
tune.
The cadets were in service uni¬
form, with white belts and gloves,
and their marching showed the effect
of the work of the year, with the
resent  practice  marches.
On returning to the campus, the
Companies again presented arms at
the monument, and the Principal
drew attention to the growth of the
school, as represented in the build¬
ings which were added to the
c.riginal Main Hall. A few words
by  Mr.  Sonn closed  the  exercises.
Supper was served in the open
air, and each cadet used the mess-
kit which is a regular part of the
equipment of the military depart¬
ment.
On the preceding evening all the
officers of the battalion prepared
their own supper alt Black Rock,
each man cocking everything in his
own personal equipment, as would
be necessary on the march. Later
the entire battalion will be required
to do the same thing, under the in¬
structions of the officers.
Since the victory of the N. H. M.
A. baseball team over Be'hlehem
High School, the spirit of the boys
has been high. Rain last Saturday
prevented a game with Bangor High
but Quakertown crossed bats with
the cadets Wednesday, and a return
game with Bethlehem High will
take place on Friday afternoon, in
Bethlehem.
On the evening of Thursday. May
12th, the Senior Class, assisted by
several young ladles of Nazareth,
v ill give a play, "The Man From
Mexico," It promises to be a very
good presentation, as all are work¬
ing hard for lt.
