AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
ON MAKING
A NEWSPAPER
Getting out a good newspaper
is a fascinating task, but it is
also a difficult one. No other
job that comes to mind is quite
so taxing, so hurried or de
mands greater pains. From
the moment a newspaper is
started, be it either daily or
weekly, the work is carried
on under pressure, a race
against time. Put yourself in J
an editor’s position—could ;
you do it?
Could you, for example, spell I
correctly, offhand, the names j
of a large percentage of the
residents of this town ? If you !
could do that, could you write ;
their initals correctly without I
resorting to the telephone di- i
rectory or other authority?
Could you write down, off
hand, the names of your city
officials, your school board, i
your county officials, your
leading state and national of
ficials, getting al 1 the names,
initials and offices correct?
Could you gather the threads
of a story from a dozen peo
ple and weave them into an in
telligent, readable account the
first writing Could you write
seven columns of material of
1,200 to 1,400 words each in
two or three days, week after
week, year after year, and
when you had finished those
seven pound out two or three
columns more before press
time? In writing a headline,
could you call to mind in a
moment enough synonyms so
that you would not repeat
the main thought in the same
words? Could you judge in a
minimum of time what size
headlines, and what position in
the paper, should be given to
each of the 75, 100 or more
stories that might go into your
paper?. Could you decide in
a moment, or exercise “snap”
judgment, on the dozens of
questions a newspaper man
must face daily and get a ma
jority of them correct?
We won’t tire you—but if you
could do these few simple
things and a thousand and one
more difficult ones, you should
be a newspaper editor.
The point we wish to make 13,
that one can produce a good
newspaper only after continual
diligent study and years of
practical experience. You have
heard dozens of persons le- 1
mark that they could turn out !
a newspaper, and a good one |
too, a bit better, in fact, than
the one they are getting. Thai
is not true, unless they have
gone through the years and
study that a good newspapei
demands of its makers.
Were it not for the peculiar
fascination associated with
newspaper work, there is no I
greater taskmaster and money I
alone would be far too scant ;
compensation. — Redwood
(Minn.) Gazette.

STATISTICS ON SUCCESS.
Business men and college
graduates have long felt the
need of some method of advis
ng young men about the
choice of a job. A common
complaint is that graduates ex- |
pect to step directly from the
classroom to well-paid ex
ecutive responsibility. Less
murmuring is heard from the
boys, though they seem to
have cause to charge bad
management to somabody.
Young men hardly can be ex
pected to make wise judge
ments for the future when
;hey have no facts to go upon.
The employer has the inform
ation, but it apparently has
lot occurred to him until re
cently that it might be sensible
:o give it to his prospective em
ployees.
The college man is in need
>f concrete facts to show him
he steps to his gaol, the length
>f time he will probably have
to spend in each position as he
ascends, and the amount of
money he may expect to re
ceive. All these facts are in
he hands of every employer.
He is able to tell the newcom
er, in terms of persons who
have already traveled the same
puth, details regarding the
vocation he wishes to take up.
There is no light in the old,
generalized advice to young
men seeking a life work. The
familiar vocational lecture,
abounding in platitudes and
applying equally to all kinds
of jobs, is of no real help. But
if a young man is told that
before he can make $20,000 a
year as buyer in a department
store he must be a stock boy,
junior salesman, head of stock
and assistant buyer, and if he
sees that this has actually been
done by many before him, he
has information of practical
value.
If a business man can actually
offer opportunities to young
men and it is in need of new
blood, it would be to its ad
vantage to make those oppor
tunities known.

In spite of the high prices
shoes are about the cheapest
idlings you wear. You don’t

you don’t have to check them

Johnny—No. thank you.

Johnny—It ain’t loss of appe

Inventor’s Triumph
I eat my peas with honey,
I have done it all my life;
They do taste kind of funny,
But it keeps them on the knife.
A lady who had just given a
dinner party met her doctor on
the street the following day.
“I’m sorry, doctor,” she said,
"that you were unable to come
to my dinner party last night;
it would have done you good
to be there.”
“It has already done me
good,” he replied “I have just
prescribed for three of the
guests.”
Marshal Martin notes that
people are more lonesome than
they used to be. They are on

'onesome every time they hap

Stenographer-Bob, dear, when
vve are married, will you still
continue to give me flowers ev
ery day?
Clerk-No, I’ll give you a box
of seeds and you can grow your
own.
Wife—“Oh, John, I’ve dis
covered that the woman next
door has a hat like mine.”
Hub—“Now, I suppose, you’ll
want me to pay for a new one.’’
Wife-“Well, dear, that would
be cheaper than moving.”
None so blind as the woman
who passes a window without

Mrs. Newwed (at dinner
table) : “I was going to have
some sponge cake as a sur
prise for you, dear, but I con
fess it was a failure.”
Mr. Newwed: “What was the
matter?”
Mrs. Newwed: “I don’t know
for sure, but I think the store
sent me the wrong kind of
sponges.”

When a man becomes disap*
jointed in love it is usually be
:ause love is disappointed in
lim.
In the case of man clothes
make him, while with woman
;hey simply show how she is
made nowadays.
Relative (admiring baby):
“Oh, Charles, she’s got her
mother’s complexion.”
Fond Father: “For goodness
sakes don’t let her swallow it.”
You are the fellow who has to
decide,
Whether you’ll do it or toss it
aside;
Your are the fellow who makes
up your mind
Whether you’ll lead or linger
behind,
Whether you’ll try for the
good that’s afar,
Or be content to stay where
you are.
Take it or leave it. There’s
something to do,
Just think it over, its all up to
you.
