More Milk Needed.

There was some talk OF closing the
creamery at this place on account Of
lack of a sufficient amount Of milk to
make the plant pay, but at a meeting
of the stockholders on Saturday it was
decided to keep the creamery running
and make special efforts to get more
milk. The plant makes excellent but
ter and the demand for it is much
greater than can be supplied. So far
the supply OF milk has averaged about
thirteen hundred pounds per day and
1t should not be less than two thousand
pounds per day to make the creamery
paying investment. The creamery is
a good thing if it can be supplied with
enough milk to make it pay, and we be-
lieve it will eventually reach that
point, but to do this some of those al
ready furnishing milk will have to buy or
raise more cows and some plan adopted to
get the milk to the creamery. 1t does
not pay for each farmer to drive to town
every day to bring in his supply OF milk.
Arrangements should be made for one
man from each section to haul all the
milk to the creamery daily.
II we have not been misinformed it
pays the farmers better to sell their
milk to the creamery than 1t does to
make butter themselves, and it certain
ly saves the housewife large amount
OF extra work.

Are You a Borrower.

DO you borrow The STAR. from your
neighbor, or are you subscriber TO the
paper? We know Of cases where three
or four families will borrow The STAR
from one neighbor. There Is some sat
lsfaction in knowing that these people
are 50 anxious to read the paper that
they will borrow 1t, yet that don't help
pay the necessary expenses incurred In
publishing the paper, nor does IT give
the editor the encouragement that IL
would II you would become II subscriber.
Among those who borrow THE STAR
from their neighbors are many who are
abundantly able to pay the subscription
price and thus encourage the printer,
and at the same time stop annoying
their neighbors. Your neighbor may
loan you his paper because he dislikes
to refuse you, yet at the same time he
may entertain this thought "I wish
you would subscribe for the paper and
not annoy me every week borrowing it,"
In some instances the paper is in the
hands Of of neighbors before the family
subscribing has read It, Cash in adj
vance only makes the price of the pa
per two cents per week. In many cases
the borrower expects rs many favors
from newspaper as the man who sub
scribes and pays for it, Perhaps there
are many people who have become ac-
customed to borrowing their neighbor's
paper and have not given the matter
due consideration. II paper is worth
reading is IL not worthy your support
by subscribing for IL? II all the people
who read THE STAR every week were
subscribers, our list would be three or
four times larger than it now is. Kind
ly consider this matter and then send

Use II to Get Revenge.

The Italians and Polanders make a
mad rush for law at every provocation,
and yet these same foreigners have no
respect for it, and few of them are will
ling to pay taxes to support the law
they so often seek after. Assault and
battery cases are numerous among
them. On Monday of this week a
POlander made information before
Squire Nefi against lad, whom the
Squire understood was seventeen years
years old, for assault and battery. The
boy had hit the Polander's little girl
with a stone. A warrant was given to
Constable Adelsperger and he went
after the boy and was greatly surprised
to find he had warrant for lad who
was seven years old last month. Frank
did not arrest the lad, but had his
father bring him before Squire Neff
Monday evening and when Squire sized
up the defendant he sent him home.

Claims Soldiers Are Starving.

We received communication Mon
day from Newport News, Va, signed
"Soldier Boy" in which this statement
is made: Company l., 18th Reg. Pa.
VOL, are starving for something to eat
The boys have not had anything for two
days and some Of them are lying in
their tents sick and have no medicine.
Col. Rickard is in command and he will
not let the boys go out to buy anything
to eat" The "Soldier Boy" failed to
sign his name to the above statement,
and we have our doubts as to the cor
rectness of the same. 1t is a strict rule
In THE STAR Office to consign all anony-
nous communications to the waste bas-
ket without giving them any attention,
but in this case we quote from the let
ter Hereafter II the "Soldier Boy"
wants anything to appear in the col
umns of The STAR he must attach his
real name to the communication, not
for publication unless he so desires, but
as an act of good faith on his part.
1t hardly seems possible that Uncle
Sam would allow his soldier boys to go
hungry two days while in the United
States, but If circumstances were such
that he could not feed the boys for a
couple of days, it seems impossible that
Col. Rickard would refuse to allow his
men to go outside to buy something to
eat
