A Few SEAsoNABLE HINTS. Don
read too much by twilight. Don t
forget to air sleeping rooms. Don t
buy anything you don't need. Don
waste these lovely spring mornings in
bed. Don't expect to succeed in life
without advertising. Don't imagine
a debt will grow smaller by letting it
run. Don't try all the spring bitters
your friends recommend. Don't ever
expect to accumulate riches when tri-
fes are squandered Don't imagine
for moment the world will smash up
when you leave it. Don't wonder at
getting behind in the world if you
don't take newspaper. Don't apply
all the sermons you happen to hear to
everybody but yourself. Don't think
nobby and nice young men who have
nothing special to do will ever make
their mark in life.

STANDARD OF THE ENGLISH LAM
GUAGE.-Websters Unabridged Die
tionary is commended the English
World over for its excellence. Wher-
ever you find English speaking people
there you find Webster. England
has produced nothing equal to it, and
in America it is the standard. The
illustrations are a marvel for accura-
cy and number, and it is a treat Just
to be able to look through it. The
new edition has 1928 pages, 5000 en-
cravings, and four pages colored plates.
Its able and comprehensive definitions
are a library in themselves-a the
saurus of unbounded treasures.-Om

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of our
young men discovered near town a
den, but investigation proved it was
inhabited by five fascinating animals
known by the innocent name of "pole-
cat.
The cold hotel ghost was captured
a few nights ago. 1t proved to be an
old-time clock, covered with hideous
head of pasteboard, which looked
frightful when ight was displayed
behind it in the dark hall.
We learn that Mr.. Lemley, of your
town, has received the contract for the
brick-work of the M. E. Church in
this place.
Preparations are being made to pur-
chase new organ for the Methodist
church, as soon as completed.
We had the pleasure of making
some of our esteemed friends in Ste
phens City a visit on Wednesday last.
We were surprised to find how neat
and clean the streets of the beautiful
village are kept. 1t seemed to me
that all the residents had been vieing
with each other to see how attractive
they could make things look. She is
thriving little town, and well de-
serves the praise she receives; but
above all she possesses one of the live
liest little papers in the Valley, which
looks to the interests of Stephens
City with undivided care.
Owing to the sudden shower our
fower-strewing was postponed. 1t
will take place some day next week.
Appropriate garlands, in the shape OF
wreaths, crosses, baskets, &C., have
been prepared for the occasion. We
will give full description of the GER
emonies in the next issue of the STAR.

We again return thanks to our little

for beautiful bouquet. 1t almost

Any reader who desires to get
fair idea of the extent of crime in this
country need only clip from the tele-
graphic columns of the public press
for one week, the brief descriptions of
wife beatings, murder, arson, theft,
rape and forgery, with their attendant
effects. A six days record of these
events massed on one sheet of cheap
book paper will show exactly the ex
tent and the volume to which crime
has reached in the United States.
Now that they have q newspaper in
Strasburg, we fear we shall lose the
services of our racy correspondent at
that place. Without any compensa-
ton whatever, he has been a faithful
friend to the STAR, and added much
to the interest of it's columns. We
tender him our sincere thanks, and
hope he may occasionally see fit to
let our readers hear from him.

"Nom de Plume our Middletown
correspondent, seems to have fallen in
love with-our town. While here we
had our argus-eye and "little lantern
on him for fear he might be caught in
the meshes by some one of our many
pretty girls "We could tale un-
fold,' but for the present will only
say that, if the young ladies of Mid

entirely, they had better hold coun-
Gil of war and adopt some means tc
keep the Grant knight at home.
Let the farmers take courage and
hold up their heads. The figures OF
the census bureau show that the mum
Der of persons engaged in agriculture
in the United States is 1899, 2l2
whereas those employed in mecnani-
cal, manufacturing and mining pur-
suits number only 3,5l9,647, or less
than one-half as many They may
also take pride in learning that Of the
| 1923, 100000 worth Of goods exported
last. year, no less than 81 per cent
were produced by the agriculturists.
These are facts that ought to make
every farmer i'll the land feel at least
six inches taller.

The LoAFERs' BRIGADE.-Yo Young
man, it costs high to be loafer. Does
the young man who persists in being
one ever reflect how much less it would
cost to be decent, respectable man !?
Does he imagine that loafng is more
economical than gentility ? Any body
can be gentleman, if he chooses to
be, without much cost, but it is mighty
expensive to be loafer. 1t costs
time in the first place, for nobody can
be frst-class loafer unless he devotes
his entire time to it. The occupation
well followed hardly affords time for
eating, sleeping, dr-dr-we had al
most said drinking, but on reflection
we will except that, for the loafer in
variably finds time enough to take a
drink whenever he is invited To be
loafer it costs money, health, vigor,
comfort and friends. Once fully en-
barked on the sea of loafng, you bid
farewell to every friendly sail that
floats under an honest and legitimate
flag 1t costs all your dignity and
self-respect whilst living, and finally,
all regret or consideration when dead.
Are you prepared to pay so high a
price for your chosen lot in life

the innermost recesses OF the impe-

The Pinkeye.

From Dr.. Schotte we learn that
the first sign of this disease (Which
is a bad cold accompanied by fever),
is noticeable in the hind parts Of the
animal, the legs and abdomen being
swollen. At this stage the animal
needs medicine which will keep the
bowels open and silsy the fever, and
for this purpose castor oil and inter
are good. Later, if unchecked, the
complaint will be found lodged in
the throat and head, and noticeable
by sore throat, eyes watering, aching
head, &c. From the first, the animal
should be kept warm, not worked,
and not exposed to draughts of
wind. Many 60 through the disease
without special treatment. The
greatest danger is to mares in foal.
The foal is almost invariably slipped,
unless special treatment fs given.
The DR.. says that he knows of thirty
five such cases in one neighborhOOd
In this county. When mares in fosl
are attacked, q skillful veterinary
should at once be called. The Doc
tor adds that animals which are fat
aud in good condition when attacked
by this disease, seldom suffer much
excepting mares in foal), while the
poor ones are pretty sure to suffer
severely, il not die.

butter knife, photograph album.
Mr.. Wiley has shown much energy
in erecting so fine q residence, which
is very commodious with its tasty
furnishing and, with the accomplish

prospect of a grand future. Mrs.

A success.

The Christmas tree and festival,
held at Beans school-house Christ.
mas Eve, was a decided success.
The house was tastefully decorated,
and presented a very pleasing ap-
pearance. The tree was loaded
with presents for young and old.
The little folks never tired gazing at
it, and their pleasure reached its
height when the presents we're dis
tributed, aud by the smiling faces it
is safe to say that many little hearts
were made glad. If the little ones
enjoyed the tree, all enjoyed the
supper, which was bountiful and
excellent. The entertainment which
was gotten up for the benefit of the
the Sabbath school, realized about
$500. d. c.
