The Cameron County Press, of EN-

stylish new holiday dress with a bril-.
liant colored Santa Claus overskirt.
The special holiday number contains

Attracts Attention.

We are gratified that the 28.page edi.
tions of the PRESS issued Just before
Christmas has attracted wide attention
and very favorable comment made by
neighboring editors, many of our sub
scribers and especially our advertisers.
The following from the Port Allegany
Reporter is right to the point:
Emporium is getting considerable
merited attention just now by reason
of the holiday advertising campaign
inaugurated by the business men of the
Cam eroG county capital in their local
papers. Emporium merchants are
only doing what business men of other
towns will have to come to. Three
years ago there wasn't a better mail
order town in western Pennsylvania
than Emporium. It's merchants had
neglected to keep the people posted on
their stocks and the favorable prices.
There was space to sell in local papers
and the mail order houses bought it.
But the merchants united in demand
ing attention of the people whose pat
ronage ought to come to the town, and
now Emporium is spoken of as one of
the hustling business centers in the
upper Susquehanna basin. Here's to
the Emporium business mon who read
the writing on the wall and then
erased it with the publicity sponge.
These sponges can be secured at the
newspaper Office in any town"
That the persistent advertising in
the PKEss has set our readers thinking
seriously on the mail order house
proposition is very evident from the
fact that we are compelled to turn
down some ilatering propositions and
shall continue to do 80 as long as the
home merchants manifest disposition
TO wake up and let the light shine
through our columns. The time has
long since passed when the merchant
can lean back in his chair, expecting
the trade To come his way, unless he
uses printers ink literally. Every
successful merchant IL liberal adver-
tiaoe, every day or every week

age of Miss Flossie Taggert, daughter
of Mrs. Helen NJ Taggart, of this place,
to DR.. Floyd Lee Van Vert, of Wood

ming, Pa, where the marriage was

charming and accomplished daughters,

Mrs. VanWert has spent her entire
life in our midst and we regret that she
will not continue her residence here.
The genial DOCTOR also formerly of this

known. He is an Industrious and an
upright young gentleman, having COM
pleted his course in medicine last
spring. He located at Woodlawn,
where he has built up a steady prac-
tise. DR.. and Mrs. VanWert will be
cat home" to their many friends after
January 18th, at Woodlawn The

tions and best wishes.

The PROSPEROUS Farmer.

The value of Pennsylvania's farm
products in 1910 is placed at $173, 362,
600 More than 100000 tons Of hay
figure in the totals, with almost 1000,
900 bushels Of oats, 323 600 bushels of
potatoes, $50, 900 bushels of rye, Fs6,
O09 bushels of sheled corn aud / 556,
900 bushels of wheat. Placing the
crop value of the country at s. i7s. III, =
773, it will be seen that Pennsylvania
contribution amounts to one-twentieth
of the whole. There was an increase
of land under cultivation of DOG, 900
acress. Westornerns and others who
have fondIy believed that Pennsy lvania
was composed of coal and iron in equal
parts will please take notice.
The increasing demands from Eu.
rope for American wheat las caused a
raise IN the price Of -four from ten to 80
cents per bu-hel, while the western

License Court.

Argument and License Court was
held here last Monday afternoon. Hon.

and Associates, Hons. Geo. !. LaBar,
and John a. WykofT, presiding.
All licenses for Shippen, Emporium,

including the new application, (Sizer
Springs House. were granted.
All applications from Lumber were
held over, as was the Mountain House
at Sinnamahoning.
Judge Hall has plainly laid down
the law to applicants for licenses, en-
phatcally impressing on them that
they must not sell to men of known
Incorporate habits, or to those under
the influence of liquor. The Courts of
the State seem determined to enforce
the law governing the sale of booze.
Recently at court held at Ridgway
Judge Hall called all applicants for Ii
cense to appear before him and made
plain the fact that if they desired Ii
cenaes granted they would have to
obey the law. They must not sell Ii
quor on Sunday, nor to minors, and he
laid special emphasis on the matter Of
selling to men of known Incorporate
habits, and to those who were visibly
under the influence of liquor. These
two points the judge was en- phatic
upon.

GANG license LAW.

An effort win be made by the Game
Commissioner to secure the passage
of a license tax bill, requiring every
hunter to pay S1.0O per capita a year.
1t is estimated that from 100, 600 to 15O,
600 resident hunters frequent the hunt
ing grounds. At 81 per head the rev.
enue would amount to several times
the commissioners biennial appropria-
ton.
1t is also argued that a hunter wear
ing number, which is registered will
exercise more care than is now the
case, and that violations of the game
laws and the accidental shooting of
people will become less frequent.

Last week a deal was consumated
whereby Harry w Smith became the
proprietor of the Hotel Goodyear
again. Owing to the sudden death of

popular hotel to his chain. This gives

know that he can successfully conduct
