The single admissions benefit only the Chautauqua Company and not the local organization as the latter receive no credit for single admis¬ sions. .Moreover the great economy in buying a season ticket is in itself p. strong argument. The single au- niission for the week would amount In $7.00, as against the-very modjr ate price of $2.50 for a season tu-ket. Buy a season>icket, set the bene- li' of the lowest rates and help to B ska this season's Chautauqua hit; success financially. The local committee has been as¬ sured of an unusually strong pro¬ s' am and feel sure -hat every number presented will prove enjoy¬ able. Remember tho date—July 11-16. Served Bounteous Dinner A very bounteous dinner was serv¬ ed at the home of Edward Tear, of Stockertown, on Wednesday, in hon¬ or of his S2nd birthday anniversary Those present at the dinner were Mr. and Mrs. William Albert, Mrs. Frances Messinger, Mrs. William Happel, Mrs. Robert Messinger I'aul, Roland and Ruth Alessingei, if Tatamy; Mrs. Matilda Sandt, Mr. and Mrs. Uriah Martin. Mrs. Anna Messinger, of Stockertown, and Miss Emma Sandt. matron of the Old Ladies' Home at Zellersville. Many friends of Air. Tear's callea in the afternoon and extended con¬ gratulations. Through the service o:' "Uncle Sam," he was surprised with a postal shower from his many little girl friends in town. Fill. I laim il Pupils. On Wednesday Mrs. flowara Kessler, teacher In the Fairview Building, entertained her pupils to an outing at Bushkiii Park. The afternoon was greatly enjoyed by the youngsters, the trip being quite a novelty as they were transported to and from the park by auto. Farm Practice—Thrash grain as soon as possible after harvesting be¬ cause the Angoumois grain moth works in the field as well as in the stored grain. Early thrashing and subsequent fumigation with carbon bisulphide, one pound to 100 bushels,, will reduce the annual out¬ breaks. Grasshoppers—The western states are being Invaded by grasshoppers, which is an Indication that they may become harmful in Pennsylvania. At the first Indication of their coming in serious numbers, a poison bait should be used, as it is more effective against the immature insect. Make a liquid mixture of two quarts of cheap molasses, six oranges or len. ons (pulp, rind and juice) and three and one-half gallons of water. Make a dry mixture of twenty pounds of bran with one pound of pair green or white arsenic. Combine the two mixtures, working until a fairly n-oist mass results, but not too wet. Scatter In grass land ln the cool ol the evening. This amount will do for three acres. Garden—A mulch of strawy rotten manure not very rich in plant food, will help tomatoes and peppers grow¬ ing on land inclined to be too dry. Poultry—Do not change the rations fed to hens; it will cause a check in egg production and is like¬ ly to throw the hens into a molt. Culling is of little value unless the hens are properly fed through the summe*** months. Potato Disease—Learn J*> know the various potato diseases that are not controlled by Bordeaux spraying, and destroy the diseased plants in your field. Surprising results have been obtained from this practice. GRAMMER SCHOOL COMMENCEMEN T The Nazareth grammar school commencement was held Tuesday evening in the Y. M. C.

NAZARETH CHAUTAUQUA NEXT WEEK
Do not Fail to Procure Your Season Tickets at Once
Community Celebration
At Nazareth A
Grand Success
Base Ball Games in the
Morning and After¬
noon, Parade at 4:30
to the Fair Grounds-
Dancing—Band Con¬
certs and Excellent
Display of Fireworks.
The committee in Stxarge of the
Community Celebration must cer¬
tainly be congratulated on the line
arrangements and carrying out of
the program to tlie letter. The
morning game of Baseball between
the Phillipsburg A. C. and Nazareth
resulted In a victory for Nazareth
by the score of 6-4 and the after¬
noon game was a slugging match as
can bs seen by the score of 19-6.
Large crowds attended both games.
At 4:30 promptly the parade formed
at Centre Square and marched down
Main Street to the Fair Grounds.
While the parade was in progress
rockets were sent off wth small
parachute connected to a U. S. flag,
which slowly descended and made a
fine scene.
A number of privileges were on
the grounds and were doing a thriv¬
ing business. At S o'clock a concert
was rendered by the Nazareth Band
in front of the grand stand and the
Y. M. C. A. Band furnished music
for the dancing in the pavilion, for¬
merly the beer stand. An immensn
crowd had gathered and it is estim¬
ated there were 1500 automobiles ot
every description on the grounds.
At 9:30 the display of fireworks
was started and never before in the
history of the town did we have
such a magnificent display consist¬
ing of pin wheels, U. S. flags and
star flower pots, water falls and lots
of other marvelous works. Also
high explosive bombs were sent
to the air which made the earth
tremble. Among the special feat¬
ures shown were the inscriptions
' Nazareth Community." 'July 4th
1921" and the "Good Night."
The committee certainly deserves
all credit for what they have done
to enliven the town on this occasion
as we know there is lots of labor
connected with such an affair as
was given on Monday.
One feature of the parade on July
4th was the float of S. Irvin Ivlns,
ot West Chester, showing the meth¬
od used In installing lightning rods
on barns and farm buildings. Many
fanners iu this county are having
their buildings rodded according to
this method since the protection
afforded by their use is lit) per cent
efficient.
This firm has a local representa¬
tive with headquarters at tlie Bar¬
onial Hotel in Nazareth, where any
Information regarding protection
fvoin lightning will be gladly given.
Another one was a lloat of the
Tatamy Fire Company who were
advertising Firemen's Day, which
will be held there on Saturday.

I inaiicial Success of Chautauqua
Depends on Sale of Season Mckeis
The local Chautauqua committee
wishes to urge every one to purchase
season tickets for the Chautauqua
i.* preference to single admissions.
The single admissions benefit only
the Chautauqua Company and not
the local organization as the latter
receive no credit for single admis¬
sions.
.Moreover the great economy in
buying a season ticket is in itself
p. strong argument. The single au-
niission for the week would amount
In $7.00, as against the-very modjr
ate price of $2.50 for a season
tu-ket.
Buy a season>icket, set the bene-
li' of the lowest rates and help to
B ska this season's Chautauqua
hit; success financially.

sured of an unusually strong pro¬
s' am and feel sure -hat every

Farm Practice—Thrash grain as
soon as possible after harvesting be¬
cause the Angoumois grain moth
works in the field as well as in the
stored grain. Early thrashing and
subsequent fumigation with carbon
bisulphide, one pound to 100
bushels,, will reduce the annual out¬
breaks.
Grasshoppers—The western states
are being Invaded by grasshoppers,
which is an Indication that they may
become harmful in Pennsylvania. At
the first Indication of their coming in
serious numbers, a poison bait should
be used, as it is more effective
against the immature insect. Make
a liquid mixture of two quarts of
cheap molasses, six oranges or len.
ons (pulp, rind and juice) and three
and one-half gallons of water. Make
a dry mixture of twenty pounds of
bran with one pound of pair green
or white arsenic. Combine the two
mixtures, working until a fairly
n-oist mass results, but not too wet.
Scatter In grass land ln the cool ol
the evening. This amount will do
for three acres.
Garden—A mulch of strawy rotten
manure not very rich in plant food,
will help tomatoes and peppers grow¬
ing on land inclined to be too dry.
Poultry—Do not change the
rations fed to hens; it will cause a
check in egg production and is like¬
ly to throw the hens into a molt.
Culling is of little value unless the
hens are properly fed through the
summe*** months.
Potato Disease—Learn J*> know
the various potato diseases that are
not controlled by Bordeaux spraying,
and destroy the diseased plants in
your field. Surprising results have
been obtained from this practice.
