If you ad- vertise a little and stop, the desire stops before it starts a habit. It is habit you want to produce—the habit of reading your ads, coming to your store, buying your goods. This is the only way to keep your merchandise continually on the move. Everybody has a habit of reading the Somerset County Star, brought on by a desire to know the news. Take advantage of this habit by giving the people your store news through its col- umns. : When can we talk this over with you?

The North American is publishing a series of letters by Hugh Sutherland on conditions social,industrial and political as they are in Ireland. The first article printed December 8. and was followed by others which, for graphic description and masterly presentation of facts, have no parallel in recent news- paper writing. They will continue until the subject is full exploited. Mr. Sutherland is familiar to newspaper readers. As Commission for The North American to the Boer Republic in the concluding days of Kruger’s Presidency, as a staff correspondent for the same paper in the mining districts of Pennsylvania, his work attracted widest popular interest as well as the closest consideration of the students of economics, political and otherwise. Mr. Sutherland is conservative and of the widest intelligence. His articles are of unique interest, as they are characteriz- ed by truth. Prejudice, either for or against a master-ridden race, does not enter into the work. So far as one of blood and flesh may do so, Mr. Suther- land has divested himself of human sympathy and gives the plan cold facts of the situation. Ireland’s wrongs, her real constitutional injuries and her oppressed state have not been told of late. Government espionage, the cer- tainty of a term in jail, social and busi- was ship in Great Britain as though, if less direct, as in autocratic Russia. News- papers dare not print, correspondents dare not tell the story of Ireland’s woes. Public speech is a felony, the printing of a Nationalist newspaper in Ireland a crime without defense. In order that the truth might be known, therefore, The North American commissioned Mr. Sutherland as chief of an expidition into Darkest Ireland. For weeks the searchers for truth traversed the country. They have touched every side of every question; talked politics with the peasant in his cabin, discussed land tenures with the English owner in London. They have got at the heart of one of the greatest political revolutions the world has experienced, one that is a talking place without the world being aware of it. Fortunately for contem- poraneous history, there is Mr. Souther- land to writz and The North American to print the story. Correspondence Courses in Agri- 3 culture. * The Pennsylvania State College has for a number of years been conducting for the benefit of the farmers of this state, correspondence courses in agri- culture. The present year the College is offering courses in thirty different subjects. Each course consists of from five to ten lessons on the subject treated. While each is complete in itself, these courses may be conveniently arranged in groups. according to the special phase of agriculture of which they treat. Arranging them in these groups, it is found that there are eight courses in General Agriculture, seven courses in Animal Industry, four courses in Iiorticulture, six courses in Dairying and five miscellaneous courses. The student is required to report on each lesson before the following lesson of the course is sent him, in order that the instructor may judge of his prepar- ation and ability to proceed further with the work. Tuition is free in all of these courses, and most of them are given independent of text books, the only expense of any kind to the student being for paper on which to make his report and postage on these reports as sent in to the College, of these courses iL is necessary that students make formal application for to the Superintendent of Correspondence Courses, State College, Centre County, Pa. ——— = enroliment the Grapes Overhang Two Miles of Carriage Drives.

John Johnson, of Reading, claims to be the champion eater of Pennsylvania, and is willing to wager any amount to prove it. He is 60 years old and weighs 185 pounds. Johnson says he will appear in a public restaurant and eat five dozen eggs. to be fried on both sides, with bread and butter, and will wash it down with 25 glasses of beer. He says he has done this more than twenty times in twenty-two minutes, and says that a year ago he ate, on a wager, a twelve-pound goose, roasted, in three hours and twenty minutes. | —. | £& OUR GREATEST BARGAIN! | —We will send you this paper and the | Philadelphia Daily North American, both papers for a whole year, for only | $3.70.
