were about 500 in line including
Supreme officers, visiting delegates,
Herd officers and n-embers, a num¬
ber of bands and a drum corps. The
different Herds were complimented
and frequently given applause
along the line of march. The ladies

in the streets. The banquet was
enjoyed by all present amidst much
rejoicing and full of hopes of meet¬
ing again at Stroudsburg in 1922.
The guests left the banquet rooms
well pleased with the reception ten¬
dered them whil staying at Nazareth.

LARGE ENROLLMENT
FOR NAZARETH HIGH
Scholarship Larger Than In
Any Previous Year
Never in the history of the High
School has there been so large an
attendance as this year. The open¬
ing day showed that there are 21
seniors, four more than the class of
1920; 18 Juniors; 37 Sophomores,
also an increased number; 67 Fresh¬
men, and two post graduates or a
total of 145. In all probability
there will be 8 or 10 more coming
so that the enrollment is very high.
The condition of the High School
is not very encouraging. Two rooms
have been totally abandoned for
classrooms purposes, on account of
the state closing them. This with
the large enrollment causes a great
Hardship on students and teachers.
They are crowded in the remaining
rconis, two teachers to the main
room making it almost impossible to
any kind of work. With a class o.
67 Freshmen thene are 34-33 in each
section, classes entirely too large to
dc. effective work. To be fair to the
boys and girls there ought to be
tnree sections of about 25 each,
counting on a few more coming. A
number of new seats were placed in
the main room and every one is
occupied. More space must be pro
vided somewhere, as this condition
is not allowed to exist.
In view of the fact that the attend¬
ance has increased by 35 students,
the teaching force is practically the
same. In place of Mr. Lindeman,
Mr. Stocker is teaching mathematics.
Miss Nicholas teaches civics and
history. The other teachers have
respective branches as heretofore.
STOCKERTOWN  MAN  HURT
BY WOMAN-DRIVEN AUTO
William Moser, of Stockertown,
was slightly injured Tuesday when
struck by the automobile of Mrs. H.
S Brugler, of Columbus, N. J.
Moser and his wife, according to the
police records, were crossing the
Circle, at Easton, and Mrs. Brugler
was driving her car from Detwiller's
to Bush and Bull's corner when the
accident occurred. He was taken
to the Easton Hospital, where his
injuries were pronounced as not
serious.
Sunday   School   Class  Hold   Picnic.
The Bible History Girls, of St.
John's Lutheran Sunday School,
taught by Miss Lizzie Altemus to¬
gether with some of their friends held
a picnic at Black Park on Thursday
afternoon. All had a most enjoyable
time. Those in attendance were:—

HODY OF DAVID E.
DORNDLASERHOME
FORJNTERMENT
Died From Wounds Received
in Battle of the A r-
gonne Woods
The body of David E. Dornblaser,
son of Clinton Dornblaser, of Lower
Nazareth Township, arrived on the
D. L. & W. Railroad on Wednesday
morning. The remains were taken
to the home of Mr. Borger, Chest¬
nut street, Nazareth, from which
place the funeral will be held on
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
American Legion will attend in a
body giving their comrade a full
military burial..
David E. Dornblaser was born in
Lower Nazareth Township, Novem-
er 11, 1889. On May 29, 1918 or
approximately one year after his
marriage he answered his country's
call, leaving for Camp Meade with
a number of other young men from
Nazareth. As early as July 7, he
was on his way overseas. He be¬
longed to the 19th Division, Com¬
pany B, 316th Infantry. On Sep¬
tember 28, 1918, he was reported
officially as missing. A telegram
received by Mrs. Dornblaser October
21 brought the information that her
husband had died from wounds re¬
ceived in the conflict in the vicinity
of the Argonne Woods. Still later
she received definite information as
to his burial which was Nautillois
American Cemetery No. 1, in grave
No. 168.
A short service will be held at the
bouse by Rev. M. M. Dry, from
whence the cortege will proceed to
St. John's Lutheran Church. Inter¬
ment will be made in Greenwood
cemetery.
Mr. Dornblaser was a member of
the Ancient Order of Moose, of
Easton, which body will attend the
funeral services. The American
Legion, the Mothers of 1917 and the
Y.M.C.A. Band are going to attend.
A cordial invitation is extended to all
persons in the community to be pre¬
sent.
He reached the age of 2S years, 11
months and 10 days. He is survived
by his widow, father, three brothers
and four sisters.
COMMUNICATION
Economy  and  the  Judgeship
Some sections of the County may
not be interested as to whether
Easton will have the three Judges
and Bethlehem none or visa versa.
But when the voter gets to see that
this is an economic fact they will
feel differently. Do you know, dear
voter, that by electing a Bethlehem
Judge the county will save $120,000
or over one million dollars during
tbe term of the Judge? Has this
any significance! In the aggregate
this may not mean so much, only
about $1.00 per person, and yet the
burden will fall upon those who
already have too heavy a burden to
bear. Some one will have to pay
the County tax. The farmers al¬
ready have a larger share. Do you
look for still more! In these days
of uncertainty and of retrenchment
v, e need to avoid extravagance and
wjiste. For the County to elect the
3rd Judge from Easton simply to
gratify the ambition or vaniety of
that city or certain aspirants and
then pay $120,000 to make that
vaniety a bigger vaniety would re¬
flect on tho Intelligence and common
sense of our people. It is inconceiv¬
able that the people of our county
should then go against their own
interest. Do you want your County-
tax to go higher, Mr. Voter? Your
vote  will  give  the  answer.
Mr. Hoffman is Bethlehem's candi¬
date for Judge. But Mr. Hoffman
is also the tax payers' candidate.
Why? His election means a saving
of $120,000 right off the bat. But
Mr. Hoffman is a qualified man—ne
has the education, the experience and
the mature mind to give the county
a fair deal. When a Judge lacks
that intelligence and experience and
sound judgment to make wise de¬
cisions, etc., the case will invariably
so to the higher courts. That costs
money. That means hisher taxes.
Who will have to pay the bill? The
person who owns property will have
to bear the greater part of the bur¬
den. Will you have It that way?
Your vote Is the answer.
TAX  PAYER.
MUSIC LOVERS' CLUB
WILL BE ORGANIZED
Musicians and lovers of music in
Nazareth and vicinity will meet at the
Y. M. C. A. on Monday evening, Sept
12, at 8 o'clock to reorganize the
Music Lovers' Club for the coming
season. There will be a discussion of
the work to be undertaken this year,
and officers will be chosen to carry
out  the program  adopted.
During the last season the Club
made a good name for itself, by pre¬
senting well-varied program of high
class music at five   public   concerts.
special emphasis being placed on or¬
chestral numbers and on trios and
quartettes for stringed instruments.
At each concert a capable soloist was
featured. The eighty-eight members
who supported the season's work will
this year seek additional members so
that still better programs can be pre¬
sented.
This meeting will be open to all
who are interested in the work of
the Club; new members will be cor¬
dially welcome.
ALLEN H. STOFFLET
PASSED AWAY
LASTJHURSDAY
Was Well Known in County
—Funeral Was Largely
Attended
Allen H. Stofflet, of Stockertown,
one of the best-known residents of
Northampton County, died at his
home on Wednesday morning, at
about 6 o'clock, after an illness ot
but a few hours. Death was caused
by a stroke of paralysis.
Mr. Stofflet, who was a member of
the music committee of the North¬
ampton Agricultural Society, which
conducts the Nazareth fair, had been
out of town on Wednesday, attend¬
ing to business connected with the
fair, and in the evening he went to
the outing of the Ladies' Aid So¬
ciety, of Forks Church, in company
with Mrs. Stofflet. He spent a most
enjoyable evening, was jolly and
lappy, and was apparently in the
best of health. Between 3 and 4
o clock the next morning, he awOKe,
and complained that one of his arms
felt stiff, and he tried to move it
to   relieve   the   numbness.
Mrs. Stofflet went to the telephone
t0 call Dr. J. A. Fetherolf, of Stock¬
ertown, but while waiting for a reply
she heard him moan, and rushing to
his side, found him deathly sick.
Becoming greatly alarmed, she lean¬
ed out of a window and blew a horn,
this alarm summoning neighbors,
who immediately went for the
physician. By the time he arrived,
Mr. Stofflet oculd not talk, and grew
worse until he died at about 6
o'clock.
Mr. Stofflet, who was 52 years, 5
months and 2 5 days of age, was one
o£ the most active men in the
borough. He was secretary of the
Stockertown council since the bor¬
ough was incorporated. He was a
sfhool teacher for thirty-one years,
about twenty-five years of which he
taught In Stockertown, the other
time having been spent as principal
ot the Palmer Township schools. On
the death of John R. Reinheimer,
several years    ago, he  was    elected

tr.rown open and the members of the
Sunday School, of which Mr. Stofflet
was the superintendent, were assem¬
bled in their accustomed places and
took part in the service by singing
"1 Need Thee Every Hour," which
was a favorite hymn of the de¬
ceased. His chair in the Sunday
School room is draped for thirty
days as well as tho choir railing.
Every available space was taken
long before the funeral cortege
arrived, and several hundred were
unublo to gain admittance to the
church. The funeral services were
conducted by the pastor, Rev. Floyd
Shafer. Managers of the Farmera

services in St. John's Reformed
Church, Rev. W. H. Wotring, D. D.,

Ashworth, of Easton, president of
Jflie Easton Mothers of 1917 Regulars
made a few remarks and threw a
spray of evergreen in the grave, and
Mrs. Clinton Kern, president of the
Nazareth Mothers, did the same. A
volley was fired by the firing spuad
and taps were sounded, with the
echo.
The streets along the line of the
procession were crowded by thou¬
sands of people, many coming from
the nearby countryside, to pay their
Hst respects to the young man who
was so popular and so well known.
There were many floral tributes of
n ost beautiful  and patriotic design.

Nazareth Band Having a Busy Season
On Labor Day the Nazareth Band
fulfilled ts 31st engagement, for the

surely a far and wide reputation, for
only small town band.

COCNTY FAIR
The Northampton County Agri¬

fair at Nazareth, Pa., September la
to 17, 1921, and will have a day and

A large crowd is always attracted

all appearance, will be of the best in
the state this year. Entries are
pouring Into the office of the secre¬
tary from all corners of the globe
Childrens' Day will be observed
en Tuesday and special efforts are
being made to have special amuse¬
ments and games during the day for
the "kiddies."
The automobile day will be held

variety of shows and amusements.
A large amount of ground has been
contracted for already.
The free amusements, which are
annually arranged for in front of
the grandstand, are of the best and
;■ good program will be rendered

ous bands daily.

50 cents.
11 Maturities During 30 Years
—Next Generation Will
Help to Pay
The decision of the School Boar*
to finance the proposed new High
School, for which there is such great
need at this time, by means of » ■
bond issue maturing over a period of
thirty years will meet with general
approval because in this way the cost
of the improvement will be borne, te
part, by the next generation. Tho
very children who will benefit di¬
rectly in the use of the new building
will help to pay for It.
$4000 Maturing Yearly
The proposed Bond Issue is for
$115,000, and the Bonds will be re¬
tired at the rate of $4000 every
year; that is, $4000 will be due at
the end of the second year, $4000
at the end of the third year and so
on. In this way the building wiU
be paid for at the end of thirty
years, and the taxes will not be
raised materially in any one year.
It is expected that the interest on
the bonds will not be more than
59$-, or $5750 on the whole amount,
and this interest will become small¬
er in amount each year, as the Bond"
are paid. The greatest obligation in
any one year will therefore be $9750
and thiB will be reduced until 4he
payment in the 30th year will be our
ly $4200. ^
Small Increase in Taxes
Even the highest amount, $9750.
will mean an inciease in the school
tax rate of only five mills, or $5 per
$1000 of valuation. This would de¬
crease as the bonds are paid to two
n'ills. The five mill rate will mean
an addition to the tax paid as fol¬
lows:
On $1000 assessment
On    1200 assessment
1400 assessment
1600 assessment
1800 assessment
2000 assessment
3000 assessment
4000 assessment
When it is considered that these
maximum figures will be reduced
every year it is apparent that the
actual cost to each tax payer ia
very small, indeed, in comparison
with the great benefit to the rising
generation and to the community.
No citizen should hesitate to pay the
small sum necessary to give the
children of Nazareth the same kind
of education and the same facilitiea
that the children in other towns are
getting. Let Nazareth take her
rightful place among the leaders in
education, as in other things.
To Our  Correspondents.
Our correspondents would confer a
great favor to this office by dispatch¬
ing their copy at the earliest possible
time, thereby avoiding an accumula¬
tion of material at the last moment
and assuring our faithful workers of
publishing all of their copy and at
the same time helping to get the
publication in the mails on good time.
Thanking one and all for all past fav¬
ors with hopes of having your hearty
cooperation in the future.

COMMUNICATION
Nazareth, Pa., Sept. 6, 1921
Dear Mr. Editor: —
As one who spent almost a s'cort>
of years, as a teacher In public
schools, I have felt deep interest In
the School situation in Nazareth.
And as often as I think of tbe
opportunity, awaiting the voters and
the School Board, I find myself ask¬
ing over, and over, again, "what
will be the result of the vote cast
at  the  coming  primary?"
Nazareth needs a new school
building very seriously. Of this
statement there can be no successful
contradiction, altho it might be
possible to so repair the old building
that it would pass inspection by tht,
school building inspectors from the
State  Superintendent's  office.
So while building, why not go
vhere there is room enough, and
where it Is quiet enough for a real
school. Just a little removed from
the town's center, on East Centre
street is such a location. It is, I
think, called the Moravian plot.
Let us hope the decision Is to build
there and build for the future.
Tho ladies will get their first,
chance to vote for school bonds, to
buy, and build for school purpose*.
Let's watch how they vote, and wait
with confidence for the returns,
knowing full well that, whatsoever
they soweth. that shall they reap.
