Flags

These are the times that try
mems souls, and expressions of
patriotism on the part of all loyal
Americans are the natural result.
In printed matter they are apt to
take the form of use of the
United States flag, and this is in
tended as a caution to our readers
about such use.
We are advised that there is no
statute covering the printing of
the flag on advertising matter, or
advertising matter on the flag, but
there are various state laws, and,
therefore, no printer should pro-
duce anything of the kind for him
self or for his customers, without
first securing legal advice. A re-
production of the flag illustrating
a phrase or poem, however, may
accompany an advertisement if the
two be merely clipped or pinned
together.
When flags are used they should
contain the full number of stars
(forty-eight) with stripes proper
ly arranged. Many American
flags are wrongly drawn, with an
insufficient humber of stars, or a
red stripe joining the blue field

Preface

The author has endeavored to
make as plain as possible the art of
printing. from the placing of the
form on the press to the final dis
position of the printed matter in
the waste bag.
CHAPTER [
The prospective printer, to be-
gin with. must have some type or
plates and a printing press of some
kind. You might possibly get
away with a rubber stamp, but the
halftones seldom print clearly, and
distinct slur is noticeable.
CHAPTER II
In placing a form of type or
plates on the press, the best re-
suits are obtained by placing the
type face up. Also place form on
bed, and under no consideration
put form on cylinder.
CHAPTER III
On locking form on bed, ex-
treme care should be taken not to
tighten clamps to the extent of
separating the ink slab from the
bed.
This would interfere with the
setting of the color.
CHAPTER "
The form is now ready for plan
ing down. A plane is best for this
purpose, and, if none be obtainable,
never on any occasion rap the type
directly with the mallet, unless it
be a rubber one.

Never line up sheet unless you

Buy York Co. Hotel;
Township Stays Dry

York, Pa, Dec. 10.-Determined
that the Hotel Jack, in Lower
Chanceford township, shall remain
dry, the temperance people of that
section of York county have pur-
chased the property. About a year
ago a renewal license was refused
to Charles Frey, after the temper
ance forces pointed out to the court
that the place had been improperly
conducted. Efforts were made by
the liquor people to substitute the
name of another applicant for the
license, but the court would not
consent. The former proprietor,
Charles Frey, went into bankruptcy
and the property was bought by
Julius Heb, a bother and dealer in
Intoxicating liquors.
To prevent another fight and the
possibility of a liquor license being
granted the place in January, twelve
citizens of that community purchased
the hotel property for $3,10O. The
purchasers are: e. NJ. Kilgore, A. M.
Grove, T. T. Snyder, George Snod-
grass, w. c. Colmin, j. C. Commin,
T. c. Ringing, c. w. Gemmill, /. w.
Chambly, j. r. Showalter, J. 7.
Trout and j. II. Sweeney. The hotel
will in the near future be conducted
as q temperance house.

Presently they came to an i'm
passe. The gulch between the two
spurs terminated in a rock wall that
fell almost sheer for two hundred
feet.
The color in the cheeks beneath
the eager eyes of the girl was warm.

The young man had noticed that
she was as sure-footed as a noun

on the edge of a precipice without
dizziness. The surface of the wall
was broken. What it might be be-
yond he could not tell, but the

tive and not too difficult rock trav-
erse.
They had been following a ledge
that narrowed till it ran out. Jut-

His inclination marched with hers.
1t was their first adventure together
and he did not want to spoil it by un-
due caution. There really was not
much danger yet so long as they
were careful.
Gordon abandoned the traverse
and followed an ascending crack in
the wall. The going was hard. He
looked down at the girl wedged be-
tween the slopes of the granite
trough.
She read his thought. "The Old
Guard never surrenders sir" was
her quick answer as she brushed in
salute with the tips of her fingers a
stray lock of hair.
The trough was worse than Elliot
