Strongest Power on Earth.
Rev. Dr. TalrrWe savs: "No power
on earth Is so strong to build up a town
as a newspaier well patronized, and Its
power should bo appreciated."
The above statement Is a fact which
no one can successfully gainsay. The
newspapers are hot as fully appreciated
In every town as they should be. We
have men In Reynoldsvlllo who seldom,
If ever, advertise In the town papers or
give them any work to do, and yet
these same men will pay exhorbltant
prices to some advertising fakir who
wants to frame a card and hang It up
In a hotel or barbershop, or has some
other advertising scheme. Those
schemes are quick money makers for
the man who has the schome, and he
also carries the money out of town, but
they are llttlo, or no, benefit to tho
advertiser. We trust the men who
have been in the habit of patronizing
every fakir that drops Into town will
give this matter due consideration. If
the money that is given to these fakirs
was spent ln-advertislng In hofhe news
pacrs it would bring in a hundredfold
better results for tho advertiser. We
are not kicking, but we don't believe
the business men of Reynoldsvlllo who
patronlzo these fakirs have given the
matter consideration. Don't bo hood
winked any longer. Figure up what
amount you usually give to these trav
eling advertising fakirs yearly and then
spend that much at least In a town
paper and see if tho results are not
much more satisfactory. This will be
showing an appreciation of the news
papers, will keep the money in town
and will give you something In return
for your money. r
The Star Is the best advertising
medium In this section. Try it.

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE PARTY.
Two Hundred People Enjoyed a Half
Day at A. T. McClure's Home.
A. T. McClure, a member of tho
Reynoldsville Hardware Co. firm, who
devotes his time largely to the hard-
waro business, lives on a large and well
cultivated farm near Pancoast. Mr.
McClure was convinced of two things
last Friday, that a woman can keep a
secret and thut u man can be tnken by
suprlso. A birthday surprise party Is
a rare thing now-a-days. There are
many so called birthday surprise parties,
but somehow before tho day arrives the
to-be-surprised person Is apprised of
what Is "In the wind." Mr. McClure
was given a pure,umulu1te.rated surprise
party last FrlilHy, whleh was attended
by at least two hundred uncles, aunts,
cousins and friends who had gathered
In from Kane, Bellevlew, Brookvillo,
Reynoldsvlllo, DuBois. Falls Creek and
the farming country for miles around.
The weather man joined In with Mrs.
McClure and her assistants in making
tho affair a grand success, for It was a
delightful autumnal day for such an
occasion.
It was Mr. McClure's better half who
was the originator of the birthday
surprise party. She looked after all
the details with the exception of
getting Mr. McClure to his home on
the afternoon of the party, and this
part of the trickery she handed over to
William T. Cox. Mr. Cox felt unequal
for the task, and ho, In turn, handed It
over to Lawyer George M. McDonald,
who laid a scheme, which with a little
of tho prestlgo used In the law business,
he carried out successfully and allured
Mr. McCluro to his home on the farm
before he knew what was In store for
him.
Mr. McClure has a good clay vein on
his land for making brick and Lawyer
McDonald pretended that some capital
ists wanted to start a large brick yard
and he was to look over McClure's land
to see about getting an option on a
certain amount of lund for the purpose
above stated. Mr. McClure easily
stepped Into the trap set for him, be
cause there was nothing unreasonable
or improbable on the face of such a
scheme. When he got near his home
and saw a large crowd outside basking
In the sunshine he took a big tumble,
When the sun got well down towards
the western horizon the guests gathered
in a group on the lawn and had their
pictures "took" by G. J. Corwln, the
Reynoldsville photographor. After the
picture taking refreshments were ser
ved to the crowd that had not lost tholr
apatites by Inhaling fresh air all the
afternoon. After justice had been done
to the good things provided the party
broke up and homegoing was In order.
Mr. McClure was the recipient of
many valuable presents, and good wishes
for the future were too numerous to
even think about, lot alone mention.
Notwithstanding the expectation Mr.
McClure had aroused within him of
selling land, he enjoyed the joke and
will long remember his 30th birthday
as an oasis In life's journey.
