Many people "too poor" to take their
home paper send money to city concerns
for worthless articles, and when they
are received find they are oftentimes
badly sold. They are of the class who
expect something for nothing, or gold
dollars for nickel They are misled
by flaring advertisements to expect
first class goods at shoddy prices, and
give their home merchants, whose wares
are always open to inspection, the go-by
in the belief that they can do much bet
ter in the city. II, to their postage and
worry over trivial purchases, they add
the cost of expressage and delay, they
will find they can purchase in most cases
just as cheaply and more satisfactory at
home. Patronize home merchants.

EDITOR STAR:--We left Newport
News, Va, on Wednesday, 18th inst,
ut go p. NJ, and arrived here the fol-
lowing day at noon. Had delightful
trip. We travelled via Richmond,
Washington, ID. c., Baltimore, Md,
and Harrisburg. Our camp is located
in field near the railroad, and / believe
it is the incest place we have camped
as yet. The boys are all well and like
their job. Everybody is busy: some
putting up tents, others doing guard
duty, while others are getting dinner
ready. We have been given II large
tent, which makes it much more pleas
ant. There are five men to tent.
We were furnished with canvass
suit this morning, and the boys make Il
fine appearce in their new suits. The
new suits are gotten up near the same
style as the officers fatigue suit, so it
is hard to tell private from an officer.
More regiments are arriving here
each day. 1t is expected that inside Of
two weeks there will be thirty thousand
soldiers in camp at this place. There
is one battalion of colored troops from
Ohio in camp.
II looks as If we would remain
here for sometime, but it is hard
to tell, as there are all kinds Of
rumors afoat. Some say that we are
days, while other reports are that we
will be held to do garrison duty.

TO EvADE THE Law.

Alleged Scheme of Brewers to
'.Bcat'' the Gov ernment.
Now that the new war revenue measure
has passed to a place upon the statute
books of the land and has become a law,
scheme has been brought to light
whereby some brewers are said to be
making preparations to evade the provis-
ions of the enactment. The new tax on
beer will be 81 per barrel. subject to a dis
count of seven and One-half per cent.
The old rate was a dollar. The scheme.
as projected. is very simple. 1t is applied
to a large quantity of the stock of beer
now on hand. This stock. in some in
stances of rather large proportions in
quantity, has been marked with the old
one dollar tax stamp. Before the new
law went into effect a sufficient number
of the old stamps were purchased to cover
the full allotment of stock then on hand.
This stock, bearing the old stamp. has
been laid aside under the pretense that it
has been sold. 1t is proposed when a de-
mand is made for a payment of the in
creased tax. to claim that the stock thus
bearing the old stamps was already sold
before the new law became operative. and
is merely being held at the warehouses
as a place of convenient storage
If that device succeeds, then those who
entered upon the venture will escape the
burden of the extra dollar tax; and will
be enabled to reap a splendid harvest of
profits
The tax on tobacco Is twelve cents per
pound. The two. three and four ounce
tobaccos and snuff have been abolished.
and one and twO-third ounce. two and
one-half ounce and three and one-third
ounce, respectively. have been substi-
tuted. Cigars and cigarettes over three
pounds per hundred are taxed $3.50. which
is an increase of sixty cents. Cigarettes
less than three pounds are taxed sl.50.
which is an increase of fifty cents.

ing remarkable about the ear Of corn.
lts kernels are not OF solid gold. nor
are there any diamonds concealed

fact that somewhere at some time or

the kernels growing ln an uneven
number OF rows Il has always been
found that d rows are even. say ten.

butt and eleven around the middle Of
the cob. Many farmers 10 whom Cul-
len showed his prize assured him that
the ear was a. perfect as q could be-.
and that Il was really a curiosity. Cul-
len Is now looking for the agricultural
society which offered the 1900 re-.
