GET BUSY AND BOOST.
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.

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

Most of The Star's subscribers have their subscrip
tions paid up to the current year, but a few have been
negligent and allowed themselves to get in arrears. 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.

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.
The Medicine
You Take
Whatever medicine you
get at this store is exactly
right.
if you could Bee how
your medicine is prepared
here, the care we give every
prescription that comes into
our store, if you had the pro
fessional training to apprec-'
iate the quality in all the
drugs used and the skill used
in preparing, you would
never think of going else
where for even your simplest
drug store want.
People who deal here
never have any doubts about
the medicine they get.
OufWork
Is Exceptional
and our prices are
as reasonable as it
is possible for us to
offer. We believe
that" the sick are
under enough ex
pense, so we never
take advantage of
any person's need to
set our prices. In
fact in case of sick
ness our prices re
exceedingly low.
