Get busy and boost for jour own home town, Don't stand on the corner and run it down, Don't cuss the Mayor and say the town's dead, That's only what some foolish knocker has said: But boost for your City and cry "Forjfe ahead" And let the knockers knock. Get busy and boost for your home market place, Don't tfo round with a long drawn face , Crying out that prices are far too high, Thus giving your merchants a blackened eye, But boost like a jolly boy. "Never say die." And let the knockers knock. Get busy and boost for your own town's rights, Don't join the knockers in their petty fights, If you listen to them and let the town go, . When it fails they'll say, "I told you so, "This town is noted for being slow," For knockers always knock. Boost for your home town help win the fight, Boost all the time with all your might, Build up a city of blazing light, Turn on the knockers and put them to flight; They'll bump their own heads as they drop from sight, For knockers alwnys knock. rcrle Beatrice Thompson. A GOOD MAN AND TRUE. When the voters of Jefferson county cast their ballots next Tuesday, we believe they will honor themselves and the county by returning to the legislature, S. Taylor North of Punxsutawney. In the long years that have passed since Jefferson county has beenrepresented in the Pennsylvania legislature, no man has served with a more brilliant record, or accomplished more for his constituents in two brief terms than Mr. North did when in the legis lature a few years ago. When he declined re-nomlnat-lon, there was regret expressed by every paper In the county, and words of commendation for his able services were openly expressed by the best citizens of the county. On every question that affected the welfare of his people, his vote was cast with those opposed to corruption in politics. In the face of such a record for cleanness and upright dealing with his constituents, the idle charges now made that he stands as the representative of special interests are simply absurd and will do more harm to the parties making them to Mr. North. North has won the confidence of the people and they will recognize his merit by sending him to Harrisburg to again work for the county's interests. (r j i- , Edwin S. Stuart will go down in Pennsylvania history as one of the purest and hestgovernors that ever. filleS the executive chair of the Keystone state. He has show"n many times the 'same'brandofmoraHcourage that'The people admire in Roosevelt, and if Pepnsylvania'svote was doubtful politically to-day .JStuait would be lookedon as available presidential timber.. And, Stuart, who"h7s proven himself a clean and honorable man, comes out unhesitatingly in favor of John K. Tener for governor of Pennsylvania. Tener never had a higher compliment paid his character and Stuart's action will serve to steady thousandsofJIwavering'RepublicanlvAters. ' It is now said that Congressman James A. Tawney will be the next governor of Minnesota.

We would like to call the attention of the delinquents to the fact that there is a ruling of the postofflce dapartmont which forbids sending papers to subscribers over two years in arrears unless a stamp is affixed. This ruling may be rigidly enforced at any time. THE MAIL ORDER HOUSK THE DEADLIEST FOE i OF THE SMALL TOWN. j 1 The mail order business is the quack doctor of com- j merce. It promises much and guarantees nothing. Like patent medicine, the directions are always on the inside and you always have to buy a nonreturnable package before , you cap find out what they are. . i .No Mail Onler House helped to build the little white ' school house in yonr district, or turnpike the road just past your door. No Mail Order House ever took you by the hand when you were indistressand told you to let that little account go until after harvest next year. No Mail Order House ever sold you a vehicle and spent every cent of its profits right in the community where you and your neighbors could get it all back again. No Mail Older House ever shoved its patent leather shoes under your ! table and rejoiced with you when you were glad, nor spoke encouraging words in allliction, nor stood with un covered head beside the graves when your children died. : No, the Mail Order House is after money. Every dollar it gets its hands on will be jerked out of your neighborhood forever. The Mail Order House may bear on its face the semblance of friendship, but no human heart beats under its cloak of hypocrisy. Sentiment to it is unknown. The whole institution is as cold and blood less as a corpse. All the Mail Order Houses in Christendom would not increase the value of your farm a cent. 'They 'are parasites to whom life is only possible as long as they can suck blood out of the communities, to the upbuilding of which they contribute nothing. They create' no local market for the products you have for sale. They have no property in your county which can be assessed to help bear the burden of taxation. The local dealer needs neither advocate nor defense. His methods rest on principles that have built up in this country a system of internal commerce which is the marvel and admiration of the world. His business is legitimate because its success contributes to the general prosperity of the community that built it up. Stand by your local dealer as ho stands by you with his time, his skill and his money. He helps to build up the community and he makes it a better place for you both to live. His own success depends on your own prosperity. He has no use for mavericks unbranded junk. He swears by the goods branded with the trade mark of the most skilled manufacturers on earth goods the like of which no other generation ever saw, and he has an abiding faith in the theory that the best goods in the world to-day are none too good for that major-general of all undustries the American Citizen Paxton Record. In several instances since we have assumed charge of the office, we have been called to time for the omission of certain items which really should have been in, for slight typographical errors which crept into the paper, and in one or two instances for omitting items which had been handed in for publication. We wish once for all to offer a general apology to all concerned for these omissions and errors, which were in every instance due to oversight or to nn exceptional rush of job work and advertising which made it practically impossible for us with the present office force and facilities to pay proper attention to the news features of the paper. The office force Is at present working day and night on the large annual institute announcement for 1010, and it will probably be two weeks before it is finished.' In time we will get caught up with the work and be able to present a more carefull y edited paper. " OUT OF THE GINGER JAR. A good rule for every farmer is the two-font rule. Those who are' on pleasure bent, May soon lack funds to pay the rent. With horses as with married folks, it is desirable that when hitched th'ey stay hitched. Some there may be .who are unable to come back, but it is not the Son Jose louse. Our friends are like our clothes unless tliey wear well we get little satisfaction out of them. If a team of ' horses pull together they are sure to accomplish something; and the same is true of men. We put hobbles on a horse to keeip him at home, but the hobble skirt is not intended for any such purpose. Too often instead of being sorry for our misdeeds we are merely ashamed that we have been found out. Did you ever stop to wonder what a lot of mischief you might get into if you didn't have to work so hard for a living? Wiseacres advise us that there is always room at the top, and the i average man when he comes to fifty is apt to find there is room at the top for more hair than he has. One of the greatest accomplishments Is to be a good listener. By letting the other man do the talking we acquire a reputation far above that we may gain in any other way. One of our contemxraries writes instructively of "the dawn of agriculture." ' In this latitude the dawn of agriculture occurs about 3.30 A. M. in the summer and at 5 A. M. in the winter Farm Journal, ST' tmi STOKE & FEICHT DRUG STORE Conducting; a HIGH-CLASS PHARMACY Is not a sinecure by any means. Much experience and an unusual degree of shrewdness are indespensable prerequisites in the conducting of a high-class ' pharmacy, even more so than in any other retail business because the drug business has more pitfalls than any other. Knowledge of these pitfalls is just as necessary as is the determination to keep out of them, for while a man may honestly resolve to conduct an ANo 1 drug store still he cannot do so if he does not know all the ins and outs of the drug trade. Thorough drug training, extensive drug store experience and practical knowl edge of the drug trade enable us to maintain the standard of this pharmacy at the ' highest possible point of efficiency. Do You Ever Wonder? When you get -home with a bottle of medicine do you ever wonder how much ca r e . was taken in compound ing it, who pre pared it, did they use the 'right in gredients, and did they use the right quantity. These are quite natural ques tions for anyone to ask, but they are safely answered in every bottle of medi cine you get here.
