From this time forward no man is a memlier of tlio Northampton Coun¬ ty Farm Bureau unless he has paid his membersliip dues and the next, ten days will be an intensive canvass i;> sisn np all farmers in the county. The -work of County .\gent C. W Klapp was given a positive and onl- siioken endorsement by the farmers at this meeting and it is certain thet the present membership drive will re¬ sult even in greater support for .Mr. Klapp's (ine work as well as addil ion¬ al funds for the educational, business, information and other phases of tlie Northampton County Farm Bureau It was clearly established at the i.ieeting that the farmeis ot Nor'h- ampton County have decided to put new life into their Farm Bureau and make it an organization of their own The Northampton County Farm Bu- rciiu has voted to go along witli the other County Farm Bureaus of Pmi.u- sylvauia as a state organization nnd all members who are now signing no In Northampton county become nn-iii- bers of the .Vmerican Farm Bureau Federation which has made an oul- tiinding record of achievement tor ihe farmers throi:gliout all parts i! uncertain I the I'nited States Farm Bu Years like milestones have a way of passing us as we journey through lite. As with the individual so with the newspaper. With this issue we pass the thirty- second milestone, with the policy of "The Item" unchanged. From Its small beginnings its efforts were to cover thoroughly the local field. The merits of a local newspaper's disputed. "The Item ' is filled weekly with live local news and country corres¬ pondence, and its moral tone Is of far greater value to the district it covers, than that of any paper which might, endeavor to cover the whole I'nlted Slates and neglects its local news. That is wliy we have stuck to the lo¬ cal field, and hope to so continue. Tiiai "The Item" is progressing each year is'plain to every one. .-\nd usefulness is no longer ,...., _ . .ludging from the many successful ] we are not unmindful of the tact that V'ars lit "The Item," and tlie experi¬ ences ot Ihe men who handled its tirobably did ;-! situation The Tatamy meeting did no: break 111) until nearly midiilglit and il iloseil villi a rousin.i;' eiidorseiiieiii ni t'l ' present membership drive. otlier iiieeitings are to be held in all pir^ ; Ol 'lie f()iint>' and rejiorts ot iirotrrf-i sdliciliua teams will im aii- biirBait nijd. -jsli, tli.jir nom-iiionpfi i 'vitk.in tli" i,>'--t i' ;i-i,v.. destinies, it is not now making a mis¬ take in continuing with this policy. A local newspaper has its hands full to cover the local field. When it branches into slate and national is¬ sues, it enters upon a field already covc'red thoroughly hy the city dailies and magazines. The average person does not take "The Item" to read all about the news in California. He takes it because it has all Ihe local and county news. our many friends have helped us in manifold ways. We teel this indebt¬ edness, and will try to repay their trust in us by still continuing in our efforts to improve their favorite home newspaper. On this our anniversary, we wish tc iliank our suliscribers, our oorres- IKnidents. and our advertisers, for the encouragement they have given us during Ihe past year. We hope to merit a continuance of their trust and goodwill, "The Item" is your paper! In a community like .Nazareth, where we have had many really splen¬ did improvement in the years just past, there should be a guiding hand, or a body in whom the citizens can place implicit confidence, W^e have many really capable men, and these should function as a Board of Trade, a Chamber of Commerce, or whatever name we choose to give It. The main thing is planning and co-operation to improve our ccmimunity status. ThiV world at large will admire our ef¬ forts to improve ourselves. Business opportunities, public improvements should be pushed vigorously. Naza¬ reth has wonderful opportunities, sit¬ uated as we are in an agricultural and manufacturing center. "The Item" has often referred to this mat¬ ter. We hope to call attention to it In future issues. But wo should make an early start to co-operate.

From this time forward no man is a memlier of tlio Northampton Coun¬ ty Farm Bureau unless he has paid his membersliip dues and the next, ten days will be an intensive canvass i;> sisn np all farmers in the county.
The -work of County .\gent C. W Klapp was given a positive and onl- siioken endorsement by the farmers at this meeting and it is certain thet the present membership drive will re¬ sult even in greater support for .Mr. Klapp's (ine work as well as addil ion¬ al funds for the educational, business, information and other phases of tlie Northampton County Farm Bureau

Years like milestones have a way of passing us as we journey through lite. As with the individual so with the newspaper.
With this issue we pass the thirty- second milestone, with the policy of "The Item" unchanged. From Its small beginnings its efforts were to cover thoroughly the local field.
The merits of a local newspaper's disputed.
"The Item ' is filled weekly with live local news and country corres¬ pondence, and its moral tone Is of far greater value to the district it covers, than that of any paper which might, endeavor to cover the whole I'nlted Slates and neglects its local news. That is wliy we have stuck to the lo¬ cal field, and hope to so continue.
Tiiai "The Item" is progressing each year is'plain to every one. .-\nd
usefulness is no longer ,...., _ .
.ludging from the many successful ] we are not unmindful of the tact that V'ars lit "The Item," and tlie experi¬ ences ot Ihe men who handled its
tirobably did ;-! situation

destinies, it is not now making a mis¬ take in continuing with this policy.
A local newspaper has its hands full to cover the local field. When it branches into slate and national is¬ sues, it enters upon a field already covc'red thoroughly hy the city dailies and magazines. The average person does not take "The Item" to read all about the news in California. He takes it because it has all Ihe local and county news.
our many friends have helped us in manifold ways. We teel this indebt¬ edness, and will try to repay their trust in us by still continuing in our efforts to improve their favorite home newspaper.
On this our anniversary, we wish tc iliank our suliscribers, our oorres- IKnidents. and our advertisers, for the encouragement they have given us during Ihe past year. We hope to merit a continuance of their trust and goodwill,
"The Item" is your paper!
In a community like .Nazareth, where we have had many really splen¬ did improvement in the years just past, there should be a guiding hand, or a body in whom the citizens can place implicit confidence, W^e have many really capable men, and these should function as a Board of Trade, a Chamber of Commerce, or whatever name we choose to give It. The main thing is planning and co-operation to improve our ccmimunity status. ThiV world at large will admire our ef¬ forts to improve ourselves. Business opportunities, public improvements should be pushed vigorously. Naza¬ reth has wonderful opportunities, sit¬ uated as we are in an agricultural and manufacturing center. "The Item" has often referred to this mat¬ ter. We hope to call attention to it In future issues. But wo should make an early start to co-operate.
