Nicholas EchmitS, Crop Special¬ ist trom Pennsylvania State Col¬ lege, discussed the seed corn situ ation and demonstrated fleld se¬ lection methods. Mr. S<!hmits em¬ phasised the neeeasitjr of fleld se¬ lection this year, because other statea, from which we formerly se¬ cured seed in time Ot shortage, ara also experiencing poor com conditions this year. Very few flelds were found In which the corn was mature enough to be selected for seed at this time. Mr. Schmitz stated that com that Is debted can be removed form the stock and placed In a dry, well ventilated place where it can be kfcpt from freezing in case it is not completely dried out when freezing temperatures are experi- euced. and though this corn will shrivel badly, It wiil germinate and make first class seed. .\ larse number of men who attended the meetings expressed their intention of selecting their seed in this man¬ ner this year.

SPLENDID MUSICAL SERVICE IN ST. JOIVrS REFORMED An outstanding feature of the monthly musical service at St. John's Reformed church on last CeeiUjr AgrtealtaMd IMeiBhMif^y^ny evening, and one which 0n>vletf, in Washington. BnahkntH**" tanch appreciated by tbe su- dienee, was a chorus ot nine male voices in two numbers, "Even Now" by Wm. H. Priday, Jr. and "Now the Day Is Over" by Joseph Barnby. Theae men are all mem¬ bers ot the church choir. . The program was opened by a Voluntary by thit organist, Chas. Hess, entitled "Twilight Devotion" by Pease. Mr. Hess also ably ren¬ dered Beethoven's "Minuet" as an Offertory and closed the service with the Postlude in C by Moulan. Two anthems were sung by the choir, "The Shadows of the Even¬ ing Hour" by H. Ernest Nichol, Mrs. Luther Batt singing the so¬ prano solo and "By Babylon's Wave" by Gounod. The second number was of an unusual nature and very effective. The theme of the pastor's few remarks was taken from that well known and loved hymn "I Need Thee Every Hour." These iiioiilhly musical services are a regular feature at St. John's and the public is cordially invited to attend and enjoy them. AffiDMAN^SIULL FRACTURED IN FALLJROM HORSE Peter Resh, a farm hand, aged 72 years, of Jacksonville, this county, fell from a horse be was taking to a Bath blacksmith at noon Priday and fractured his skull. The accident happened at the Bath borough line. Mr. Resh Was removed to Dr. Haff's Hospi¬ tal, Northampton, and died short¬ ly after he was admitted. Mr. Resh was an employee of Albert Ott, of tho Bath-Portland furm, but for the past two weeks had been assisting I'almer Fehnel, of Jacksonville, in his work. The Intter sent him to a blacksmith at Bath Friday morning w'th a horse that Mas to be shod. In some un¬ explained manner the aged man fell from the horse striking his head on the hard surface ot the road. A crowd soon gathered and Thomas Smith, of Catasauqua, and H. E. Weidner, of AUentown, pass¬ ing in an automobile, were attract¬ ed by it. They stopped, and :^;e€- Ing the unconscious victim, loaded him in their automobile and has¬ tened to tlie hospital. -Mr. Resh wa.s liorn at Guthville and had worked as a farm hand all his life. IIi9 only survivors a'-e a brother. Willuoghl)y Resh, of Al¬ lenfown. and a step-sister. .Mrs. Maria Allender, also of .\llentown. IMUHiREaS MADE ON NEWER rOXHTIUTTIO.V At a meeting held on September It; at the office of Charles E. Knecht. secretary of the Nazaretii Sewer Company, the board of di¬ rectors Instructed the secretary to mail specifications to several con¬ tractors asking for bids to con¬ struct sewer line from south side of Circle, north on Main street to High. The committee appointed to arrange for the laying of sewer line at the intersection of North Broad and Chestnut avenue and North street, reported that H. W. Roth had started on this work. The committee also reported tkat all the propeftrmmers "oe the west side ot North Broad street with tbe exception of Mr. Haiber- eUdt and Mr. McConnell. Who are not connected with the sewer eys- tem, have laid their sewer from building line across to sewer main to enable them to have access to sewer system In the future, which they used as a precaution on ac¬ count ot conrcete street now under construction. At an adjourned meeting held on Tuesday, the 27th, bids were received and It appears that the .\nthraclte Construction Company would be the mo.st reasonable bid¬ ders. It appears that the company feels favorable to let this contract providing a few more property owners along this line are willing to sign up for connections to help maintain and defray expenses.

jolTown Council, who after
, «Mks and months of hard
work on hts subject, addressed the audience on the important topic of "Town Financing."
Thi9 subject, as tnentloned by Chairman Gano, can only be dis¬ cussed by one who had actual ex¬ perience along this line and as Mr. Fehnel has served our Borough ef¬ ficiently iu the capacity of secre¬ tary for a period of fourteen years, it Is not necessary to mention that facts and figures brought to light by him are authentic.
The fact of the matter is that this information Is too valuable to miss publication and through the courtesy of Mr. Pehnel the "Item" will publish the eptlre address in next week's Issue. Kvery citizen should receive a copy of the "Item" next week and read just what our Borough has been doing given by a man who knows and de!*erve.s a lot of credit. Due to time allotted it was impossible to print the address in tliis issue.

IMUHiREaS MADE
ON NEWER rOXHTIUTTIO.V
At a meeting held on September It; at the office of Charles E. Knecht. secretary of the Nazaretii Sewer Company, the board of di¬ rectors Instructed the secretary to mail specifications to several con¬ tractors asking for bids to con¬ struct sewer line from south side of Circle, north on Main street to High. The committee appointed to arrange for the laying of sewer line at the intersection of North Broad and Chestnut avenue and North street, reported that H. W. Roth had started on this work. The committee also reported tkat all the propeftrmmers "oe the west side ot North Broad street with tbe exception of Mr. Haiber- eUdt and Mr. McConnell. Who are not connected with the sewer eys- tem, have laid their sewer from building line across to sewer main to enable them to have access to sewer system In the future, which they used as a precaution on ac¬ count ot conrcete street now under construction.
At an adjourned meeting held on Tuesday, the 27th, bids were received and It appears that the .\nthraclte Construction Company would be the mo.st reasonable bid¬ ders. It appears that the company feels favorable to let this contract providing a few more property owners along this line are willing to sign up for connections to help maintain and defray expenses.
