Will Increase Rate for Advertising. After the first of January, 1907, the rates for display advertising in The Star will be increased to ten cents an inch, or $2.00 a column. When this paper was established fifteen years ago tbe advertising rate was made low on account of The Star being a new paper and tbe circulation not very large at that time, and tbe rates have remained the same. ' With our present circulation we feel justified in increasing our advertising rates two cents an inch, and then we are only charging tbe same rate that most all county weeklies of same circulation of The Star are charging. and some of them even charge a higher rate.

He Is a wonder and a power as a speaker, and gave voice to thoughts that stamp him as a man of high order of ability. The character lzatlon of bis speaking as a "cataract of eloquence" is a happy one. His rapidity of utterance is wonderful, and the words, well chosen ones, seem to ' be almost stumbling over each other to get to the ears of tbe audience It was like a rushing mountain torrent, and, being new to tbe audience, prevented them from understanding fully all that he said. We have never heard so rapid Speaker, and it is seldom that so good a lecture is heard in our city. The sub ject was a good one and well bandied, many points being so able and hovel as to attract attention in any audience, New Brighton (Pa.) Daily News. At Assembly hall Thursday evening. Jan. 3rd.

While settling accounts and liquldat log debts at the close of the year, don' forget to call and pay your subscription if in arrears. Remember It takes money to run a newspaper. A number of our subscribers are prompt in paying their subscription, but their are a large number who thoughtlessly let their subscription run along one, two and more years without making payment Iv would be a great favor If all arrears for subscription would call soon ait possible and pay part, if not all their back subscription. This would be a vert commendable New Year resolution. ' ' ''' Last Call to Pay Taxes. L This is the last month to pay 1906 taxes five per cent added Jan. 1.

The fifty-first annual session of the teachers' institute of Jefferson county was held in Brookville last week and was a very interesting, instructive and elpful institute. The best day in structors obtainable were present and the evening entertainments were fine. Prof. R. B. Teltrlck certainly does not try to palm off anything cheap on the teachers or patrons of the Institute. As has been stated In this paper before, Prof. Teitrick has raised the county institute to a 'much higher standard than It was when he was elected county superintendent. Now that Reynoldsville has a build ing large enough Park Theatre and sufficient hotel room to handle the institute, why not bold tbe institute at this place next year? Of course the Institute has been held at Brookville for years and a howl would be raised at the county seat if the change is made and the institute taken from Brookville next year, but what of it? What more Ight has Brookville to tbe institute ban Reynoldsville or dome other town In the county that can give the required accommodations? To change tbe Insti tute to Reynoldsville may Incon venience Supt. Teltrlck somewhat, but as be Is a very obliging gentleman, ever ready to please the people, be certainly would not object to tbe Inconvenience. We believe the change would be balled with delight by tbe teachers In tbe county. It would be a change for them. We mention this now so there will be plenty of time to begin arranging for the county Institute at Reynoldsville In 1907. We will have more to say about this at another time. Soldier.

' , Qoosebone Forecasts.' .After several 'weeks delay, occasioned by the retirement of Ellas Hartz, the venerable gjosebone weather prognos ttcator, supporters of the goosebone theory have secured a sample and Tuesday announced the p red lotion for tbe winter months. A fine, breastbone was seoured from Nathaniel Shupp of Brecknook. The fowl was hatched last spring and the markings of the , bone are clear and, distinct. The bone showed mild weather for the early part of - December, with sharp drop In the temperature along about Christmas. January will be cold and there will be plenty of Ice, though the last few davs of January will be mild. February opens mild, but this kind of weather will continue for but a short time, when severe cold and stormy weather are indicated for the remainder of the month.
