confirm the sale. Other offers have

DID you ever stop to think of the
labor required in getting up a good,
live local paper? At times it is no
great job because there are plenty
of happenings to record; at other
times but little transpires and yet
the paper is expected to be as bright
and interesting as though there had
been an unusual number of occur
rences out of which interesting news
items could be culled. Very few peo-
pie make any effort to assist the edi-
tor in the compilation of local events.
In the place of telling him if any
thing occurs it is generally "smoth
ered' and then complaint is made
because the paper made no reference
to certain occurrence. Don't for
get that we want the news and if
you know of anything be sure and
report.
