Katzeii Prop. Printing Office Secrets. A properly conducted printing ofllce is as much a secret as a Masonic lodge. The printers are not under oath to se crecy, but always feel themselves as tiuly In honor bound to keep ofllce secrets as though triplo onthed. Any employe In a printing ofllce who wil fully disregards this fuct, In relation to printing ofllce secrets, would not only be scornod by tho brethren of his craft, but would loso his position at once. We make this statement because It sometimes happens that a communica tion appears In a newspaper, under an assumed signature which excites com ment and various parties try to find out who Is the author. ' Let all bo saved the trouble of questioning the employes of the printing ofllce. They are know- nothings on such points. On such matters they have eyes and ears, but no mouth, and If they fall to observe this rulo let them bo put down as dishonorable members of the craft. It Is tho same In job printing. If Any thing Is to be printed and kept secret, let proper notice be given of 'tho de sire for secrecy, and you might as well question a sphinx as one of the printers, so that oven the secret books of lodges are printed without foar.

AN INSTRUCTIVE PROQRAn WELL RENDERED. Ye Editor Takes a Trip to the Land of Folk and Candidates and Partakes of that Bounteous Hospitality for which the Inhabitants are Famed. A vefy Interesting and largely atten ded farmers' Institute was beld at Al iens Mills on Friday and Saturday of last week, Janunry 31st "and February 1st. The editor of this paper attended tho Frldoy aftornoon and Friday even ing sessions. Tho trip was made to Aliens Mills In company with M. C. Coleman, of this place, behind his famous roadster, "Champ." The eight miles was traveled In a few minutes over an hour. "Champ" Is not much for beauty, but he Is as fine traveler as will be found In this section. Mr. Coleman Is selling the McCormlck farm machines and that was one reason, If not the main reason, why he attended the Institute. We were given a very cordial welcome. The hospitality of the Beech woods people Is unsurpassed. Robert F. Morrison, one of the genial and popular citizens of Boech woods, in vited us to make his home our abiding place during our stay at Institute. We took supper with him Friday evonlng. He only had six men for supper besides his own family: Gil C. Reltz, candidate for register and recorder, G. W. Porter, candidate for assembly, M. C. Coleman, Mr. O'Harrow, Warren Bryan and ye editor. Tbe meal was excellent and the appetite that some of the guests had was surprising. In order to get back to town early Saturday morning with Prof. R. B. Teitrlck, who had stopped at tbe Institute on his way from Brockwayvllle to Anita, we spent the night at William Cooper's and after partaking of a substantial breakfast Saturday morning started for home feeling that the people of Boech woods deserve the reputation they have for hospitality. The Institute was called to ordor at 1.30 p. m. Friday by R. F. Morrison, chairman of the institute managers of Jefferson county,, and that gentleman was promptly elected to preside over institute. The selection was a good one, as Mr. Morrison made an excollont presiding olllcer. ,Rov. J. W. Craw' ford was elected secretary. Tho first thing on program was music by choir, which was composed in the afternoon Of DIUIs S. Allon, W. J. Buchanan, Misses Mabol Morrison and Margaret Crawford. Their voices blended nlcoly and the music was first class. Prayer by Rev. J. W, Crawford Address of welcome by Miss Gertrude Moore. It was out of the usual stereo typed addresses of welcome and was unique and to the point. A. T. McClure, of Reynoldsvllle, re sponded to the address of welcome and be did It in such a manner that we bad no reason to be ashamed to acknowledge him as one of our townsman. The first toplo for aftornoon was "soil fertility," but tbe persons to whom this toplo was assigned wore not present and it was held over and "potato culture" was taken up. Tho subject was opened by Wm. J. Buchanan and pretty thorough ly discussed by John Marshal, A. T. McClure, J. G. Allen and others. "Soli fertility" was opened by M. C. Coleman and discussed by C. J. Bullers, Rev. A Reliable Daily Paper. Tbe Pittsburg Times is tbe only dally newspaper In that city wblch does not have a Sunday edition. The times puts all its energies and money into publish ing tbe best newspaper there six days out of tbe weok. Its people believe in tbe Biblical and humane idea that men and newspapers should have one day's rest in seven.' Tba Times shows the re sults of this in sending out a vigorous paper. Accuracy and brevity are its watchwords. Its editorial page is the work or several specialists and is one that commends Itself In its discussion of ourrent topics to tba children of tbe publlo schools, as well as their fathers, mothers, teachers, and all who read and think. In politics its policy is Republi can, giving all the news of all parties as well. Its theatrical review is a criti cal rovluw. The box office has no in fluence ovor It. People have become accustomod to read what Tbe Times says of plays more than the same de partment in all other Pittsburg papers oomblned. Tbe Times criticises when the orltlolsm W of benefit to its readers, whether it happens to benefit tbe tbeatrloal manager or not. The sport ing page Is In charge of an expert, and cream, not blue cream, is served Id its columns, Tbe Times also pays particu ALLENS MILLS Far and Near Gather and Beech Trees, fllngles with the Farmer Crawford, J. G. Allen, William SmIth and others. Tbe question box brought several very Important questions before tbe Institute, but they were all answer ed in a very satisfactory manner. After another selection by choir the institute adjourned until evening. Before time to open the evening ses sion Allen's hall was packed, and a num ber had to stand during the entire even ing session, but it was a very orderly and good uatured crowd. The evening program was opened with muslo. The first toplo was "Our Publlo Schools and their Necessities." Discussion was opened by Prof. J, J. Pollum, principal of Washington township high schools. He was followed by George W. Porter, who is a fine speaker, C. J. Bullers and Prof. R. B. Teitrlck; song by C. J. Bullers; essay by Miss Maud Chamber lain. This was an exoollont paper. We-expeot to print the essay in The Star either next week or following week. Recitation by Miss Mabel Mor rison, whleh was well rendered and ap preciated by the audience. C. I. Peck, one of the State speakers, delivered an address on "Farm Home." Muslo by choir; adjournment. Saturday morning session was opened with muslo and prayer. S. R. Elder, of Beaver, gave a very Instructive talk on "potato culture," followed by practical remarks by others. Poultry Breeding and Feeding for Profit," was opened by DIUIs S.

Mundorff, of Reynoldsvllle, made a short address In which be high' ly praised the ladies of the farms Mundorff was followed by M. C. Cole man, who, In his most affable manner, Informed the ladies present that Mr. Mundorff is a bachelor. The next subject taken up was "Pro fit from Dairying," MoCurdy Hunter, C. J. Bullers and Mr. Peck spoke on this subjoct. Mr. Peck said In sub stance: "Know your business; study breeds, breeding, comfort and every detail, from beginning to end. In stabling, warmth, light and ventilation are three very essential points." He also said that silage could be put up for 11.00 a ton and that It Is tbe cheapest cow feed for the ftrmer to raise. This was followed by a song by H. S. Bullers. Col. John A. Woodward, one of the state speakers, gave an interesting and instructive talk on "practical farming." Muslo; adjountment. Afternoon session opened with music, The first subjoct was: "What I Know About Farming." The discussion was opened by J. G. Allen, who showed by facts and figures that farming pays when systematically followed. C. R. Vasbindor, candidate for Assembly, gave the boys some good advice about staying on the farm. "Our Roads and Supervisors," was discussed by Col Woodward and Dr. E. V. Kyle. ' Tbe institute was interesting through' out and was certainly a benefit to those who wanted to get good out of it. lar attention to oburch matters, and its church news is at once reliable and gen eral. Its speolal correspondents every where keep its pages day by day a per fect mirror of the world.
