Only Course Left to Pursue.
The postoflice ruling that goes into effect April 1st will
make it necessary for us to either pay a largely increased
amount of postage on a large number ot papers sent to sub
scribers who have allowed themselves to get in arrears, or
cut these subscribers from our list. Much as we dislike to
do so, the latter course is the only one left for us to pursue.
Therefore, in compliance with the ruling of the Postoffice De
partment, the publisher of The Star asks all of its subscrib
ers who are one or more years in arrears to make im
mediate payment as all those who do not pay up, or indicate
their intention of doing so, on .or before April 1, 1908,
will be dropped from our list and their accounts placed in
the hands of an attorney for collection. Thi3 will not be
done, however, if satisfactory arrangements are made by
the delinquents for the settlement of the amounts now due.
In the payment of these claims we will accept either cash,
check, money order or note, but it is absolutely necessary
that settlement of all accounts now due must be made before
April 1st, 1908. A second statement of account has been
sent to a number of delinquent subscribers and others will
receive a second statement in a few days.
Paradise.
Ye writer is glad to be-able to attend
to his duties again, after being very
Beriously 111 for several days, and feels
very grateful to the neighbors and
friends for their kind help during that
time.
J. M. Sheesley, who is living with
his aunt in Snydertown, was circulating
among bis old friends in this piace
a few days'ago.
We are at a loss to know who is
writing up the Trout Run news. If
they intend keeping It up they must
get a little bettor gait on or they may
be over powered. We wish them suc
cess. Some people maintain that a high
hat doesn't become all men, but it
seems to us that a stove pipe ought
to soot everybody.
Our friend, Harry Daugherty, has
purchased a violin and has nearly
mastered the song entitled, "wait till
the sun shines Carrie."
Mable Long, of Rathmel, visited her
cousin, Maggie Cathers, over Saturday
and Sunday.
Walter J. Sprague has purchased
a very valuable team of jet black
horses. He now has as fine a span
of horses as you may see anywhere.
Frank Hillls attended an oyster
supper at the Hormtown Grange hall
Saturday night.
Parson Meade Syphrlt called on
friends near Sykesville Saturday and
Sunday.
There will be preaching at the
Lutheran church next Sunday morning
at 10 30 and at the M. E. church Sun
day school at 10 00 and preaching at
11.00 a. m. Let everybody turnout.
Elda Barnott visited Bell Syphrlt
over last Sunday.
Some people think the severe winter
has greatly damaged our orchards in
Paradise and the little place is almost
be-cidor-self with dismay.
If suspenders would only keep a
man's reputation up as well as bis
trousers, we wonder how many pair
our candidates, who are running for
office, would be wearing at this time.
Mrs. M. M. McAdoo called on friends
in Sykesville quite recently.
A very enjoyable evening whs spent
at the home of Peter Wells a few
nights ago when a crowd of about
thirty people gathered there and
amused themselves in playing games.
Flinch was the game indulged in, the
one winning the most points was to get
a prize. Ethel Cathers being the
lucky one received the prize. Jimmy
jm orris wok me ooooy prize.
The sleighing parties that went from
here during last week were oertainlv
enjoyable ones with the exception of
a load that started for Mr. Hadden's
place near Panio last Wednesday
night. Their enjoyable time wound
up In an upset. When the mix-up
was over they discovered thev had a
broken sled. Securing another sled
they arrived at their destination in
merry spirits.
A surDrise Dartv was snrunc nn Mm
A. M. Norris of Stoney Hill on Friday.
About forty of our people attended.
The occasion was her birthday. It was
a complete surprise to her and the
visitors found her in the wash tub rub
bing for dear life. When the aun be
gan sinking behind the western hill
the visitors departed to their resDeo-
tive places of abode, wishing her many
happy years to come.
John Lott has just recently bought a
million feet of standing timber. He
had no means to manufacture It into
lumber only by the slow way of the
old "up to day and down tomorrow"
saw mill. He resolved to buy himself
portable mill, which be did. He
expects to have it in running order
n tne very near future. I
MR. MURRAY'S CAMPAIGN.
The Popular Ex Commissioner Making a
Strong Race for Treasurer.
W. C. Murray, of Reynoldsville, who
Is among the leaders in the contest for
the Republican nomination for county
treasurer at the primary election In
April, was in Brookvllle on Wednesday
while on his way home from a tour
through the northern and western sec
tions of the county. Mr. Murray's cam
paign is assuming promising propor
tions, in view of the fact that while
serving as couuty commissioner some
years since he made a large acquaint
ance and proved himself to be such a
courteous, competent and obliging pub
lic official as to earn and carry with him
In his return to private life the most
kindly feelingof all those acquaintances.
Since taking up his active canvass for
the treasurer nomination Mr. Murray
has met with such encourgement from
the voters of the county as to load him
to believe that his candidacy meets
with their approval, and from all parts
of the county comes a word of commen
ds ion for his past record as a citizen,
a R 'publican and a public official. Mr.
Murray has been tried in the refining
fire of publlo life and has proven him
self capable and trustwor thy. Theso
attributes, coupled with his personal
popularity, will make him a deciding
factor In the coutest. And Mr. Murray
has ever had a faculty of enthusing bis
friends in his bihalf a faculty, by the
way, which will prove a big matter in
this contest. Brook vlllo Republican.
Agrees With the Boy.
What may probably be the reason
why so many citizens are anxious to be
elected sheriff has just come to light.
When Sheriff and Mrs. Grant Scheaf
nocker moved down to the sheriff's res
idence from Reynoldsville they brought
with their numerous brood of little
Scheafnockers, the oldest and largest
of whom, John, was a lad of 14, weigh
ing 115 pounds and slanling 4 feet and
2 inches in his stocking foet, when ho
could ba caught with his stockings on.
In two years of life in l he sheriff's office,
or, to be exact, 20 months, this stripling
kid has grown 21 inch' i in height and
now stands 5 feet and 11 inches, while
he sags the fcal b urn at 176 rounds.
No wonder fllnwH with boys to raise
are anxious to break into the sheriff's
office, and incidentally Sheriff Scbeaf-
nocuer is getting some help in his cam
paign for the treasurersblp from this
traveling advertisement, there beinira
general feeling that any untoward oc
currence which would separate the boy
Iron) an atmosphere which so thorough
ly agrees with him would be a calamity.

No Ubb to Die.
"I have found out that there is no use
to die of lung trouble as long as you
can get Dr. King's New Discovery,"
says Mrs. J. P. White, of Rushboro,
Pa. "I would not be alive to-day only
for that wonderful medicine. It loosens
up a cough quicker than anything else,
and cures lung disease even after the
case is pronounced hopeless." This

Young People In Virginia In Chief
Justice Marshall's Day.
In an old biography of Chief Justice
Marshall there is an anecdote which
gives a significant hint of the disci
pline to which young people were sub.
Jeet in that enrller iliiy.
Several of the great Jurist's niece
were In the habit of visiting him, and
as they were young and attractive tho
house becnue a rendezvous for the
leading young men of the city during
the afternoons. Judge Marshall's lilack
major douio, old Uncle Joseph, held a
tight relu upon these visitors. Every
day at 4 o'clock he would appear at
the door of the drawing room in spot
less livery and with a profound bow
would announce:
"Ladies, his honor the chief justice
has retired to his room to prepare for
dinner.
"Gentlemen, dinner will be served at
half past 4 o'clock. It Is now 4. His
honor will be pleased If you will re
main, and covers have been laid for
you at the table. If you cannot re
main, will you permit the young ladlei
to retire to prepare for the meal?"
The gentlemen usually took their
leave, and the ladies retired in nn ill
hamor, but any remonstrance with Jo
seph was only answered by: "It is the
rule of the house. Young folks must
be kept within bounds."
In Virginia houses of the better class,
notwithstanding their almost bound
less hospitality, the calls of young men
in that day were strictly held within
limit. No one was received as a visitor
to an unmarried girl unless his ante
cedents and character were well known
to her parents.
then, reasoning om the' basis of this
wheel experiment, do. not trees and
plants grow in the directions they are
urged liy this centrifugal force name
ly, with: leaves nnd boughs toward the
earth's center and roots pointing to the
sky?
The answer Is because there is n
force called gravitation which over
powers the enormous centrifugal force
nnd practically reverses it. Whether
this overmastering force which we call
gravitation is electrical or what it is
no one hns yet been able to discover.
There can be no doubt that It is the
greatest force we know of.
To unveil the mjBtery of it would be
to become masters of a power whose
possibilities dazzle the human mind.
It would simplify the problem of build
ing, water and air navigation, projec
tiles and many other branches of me
chanics. It would revolutionize pres
ent methods. St. Louis rost-Dlspntch.

GRAVITATION.
TJje Mystery of This Wonderful Force
in Nature.
When plants are grown In recepta
cles fastened to the rim of a rapidly
revolving wheel, the shoots and leaves
grow toward the center and the roots
away from the center of revolution
This is remarkable as Bhowlng the in
fluence of centrifugal motion upon
growth.
But the earth, any point in whose
surface at the equator passes through
fifteen miles In one minute, hns a cen
trifugal motion so swift and so great
that It is almost inconceivable. Why
Electrio Light Bulbs.
It has been remarked that the effec
tive life of incandescent electric lamps
Is much longer with clear than with
ground glass bulbs. E. P. Hyde ex
plains this fact as follows: A thin de
posit of carbon Is formed on the in
terior surface of the bulbs, nnd this
absorbs n certain portion of the radia
tion from the filament. When tho
glnss Is clear the light passes straight
through, suffering a definite loss from
the carbon film. When the glnss Is
frosted the light undergoes many re
flections In the Interior of the bulb
from the Innumerable facets, and at
each reflection it loses something on
account of the obstructing film. The
consequence Is that the total amount
of loss is much greater with ground
glass than with clear glass. Mr.
Hyde's experiments Bhow that the fila
ment lusts ns long in tho one kind of
bulb as in the other. Youth's Com
panion. A Good Guess.
