read the home paper, all an editor has

they, too, read the home paper, even if
they do have to read it at the expense

For the first time in the history of
Columbia county, a postmastership has
gone begging. Mrs. Howard Cole, who
has had charge of the office at Coles
Creek for a number of years, resigned
some time ago, but the department re-
fused to accept her resignation, as
there has always been trouble in se-
curing a postmaster there. An effort
was finally made to secure her succes-
gor, but without avail. On last Satur-
day Mrs. Cole left for Mexico to join
her husband, and left the office to take
care of itself.
Rest is the great restorer. We tire
our muscles by exercise and then rest
to restore them ; yet a great many of
us do not stop to think how little rest
we give to our stomachs. As a usual
thing no part of our bodies is so gener-
ally overworked os our digestive or-
gans. A tired and overworked stomach
will give signs of distress to which we
pay no heed until at last Dyspepsia
takes hold. Indigestion is just a warn-
ing, and if we heed the warning we can
easily avoid further consequences.
KODOL is a most thorough stomach
relief. It digests what you eat and
gives the stomach the needed rest and
greatly assists in restoring it to its nor-
mal activity and usefulness. KODOL
is sold on a guarantee relief plan. Itis

To keep the flag painted on his corn
crib is the curious request which is
found in the will of George D. Higgins,
which has just been admitted to pro-
bate, at Duxbury, Massachusetts. Mr.
Higgins was a veteran of the civil war,
and had an intense love for the flag.
He always kept a painted flag on his
corn crib, never allowing the colors to
grow dim, and adding a star as new
states were added. His will not only
requests that the flag be kept painted,
but also that stars be added when
necessary, the stars to be “placed in
proper order, as by a pattern shown,
and that may be found in my tool
chest.”
The News—No Pure Drug Cough
Cure Laws would be needed, if all
Cough Cures were like Dr. SBhoop’s
Cough Cure is—and bas been for 20
years. The National Law now requires
that if any poisons enter into a cough
mixture, it must be printed on the label
or package. For this reason mothers,
and others, should insist on having Dr.
Shoop’s Cough Cure. No poison-marks
on Dr. Shoop’s labels—and none in the
medicine, else it must by law be on the
label. And it’s not only safe, but it is
said to be by those that know it best, a
truly remarkable cough remedy. Take
no chanee, particularly with your chil-
dren. Insist on having Dr. Shoop’s
Cough Cure. Compare carefully the
Dr. Shoop package with others and see.
No poison marks there! You can al-
ways be on the safe side by demanding
Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Simply re-
fuse to accept any other. Sold by Elk

Judge Kooser has refused to appoint
a commission to examine Joe DeFran-
cesco, the Coal Run murderer, on the
ground that the case has passed his
jurisdiction. In making a decree di-
rected to Governor Stuart, he says:
“No question of the sanity or insanity
of the prisoner was raised upon the
trial. The defendant was convicted of
murder of the first degree, sentence
pronounced, and a record of the trial,
conviction and sentence has been
transmitted to the Governor of the
Commonwealth, for his action ; thus, as
I think, passing the matter to the con-
trol of the Executive. This Court,
therefore, in refusing to appoint the
commission prayed for, as it now does,
respectfully refers the mutter to his

Garrett County Farmers in the
Lead.
The following very truthful news
item appeared in last week’s issue of
the Oakland Journal:
“You will find by comparison that
the farmers in Grantsville district are
about up to date in many lines of agri-
culture. They raise the finest fruit in
profusion—strawberries by the thou-
sands of quarts. They have maple sugar
groves that cannot be excelled any-
where in the world. Their farms are
adapted to raising wheat, oats, rye,
barley, buckwheat and about all of the
grains with success. Some of their
barns and dwellings are of the largest
and best in the United States.”
" Right here Tue Star wishes to com-
pliment the farmers in the vicinity of
Grantsville, Md., on the splendid con-
dition and high produetive state that
they have brought their farms up to.
About 25 or 30 years ago the farmers in
the vicinity of Salisbury, Pa., were far |
in advance of their Garrett county |
neighbors in the matter of high class |
farming ; but, generally speaking, just
the reverse is the case now, and there |
is no use in trying to deny it.
It is pretty generally conceded that |
farming in Elk Lick township has been
on the down grade for a number of]
| years. Of course, there are exceptions, |
Excellency, the Governor of Pennsyl-| 4 old Elk Lick still has some of the |
vania, with the recommendation that a |
commission be appointed, to meet the
purpose set forth in the petition, and
that the commission be directed to act
speedily.”
