much to its advantages. New realms of thought

teachers and those intending to enter that pro.

session If possible. Ideas are there gained and
practical lessons in teaching learned that often
form the basis of future success. 1t needs no

For several past terms of our Common Pleas
Court prominent Attorney from Akron, Ohio
has been present, being associated with q Raven
ma attorney in the trial of causes. Frequent
consultations were held at the Ravenna attor-
ney's office. and as frequently were they inter-
rupted by the appearance at the office of the Ra-
VIENNA lawyers young daughter.who would daily
call for her father to go to dinner or to tea, On
one occasion. the father failed to go to dinner,
having accepted an invitation to take dinner at
the hotel. Long before tea time the daughter
again put in her appearance at her fathers office
and anxiously inquired, Papa, did you have
warm dinner ?" On being answered in the affirm
ative. the young lady left the office. with the ap-
parent satisfaction that her father would not
require warm supper. The Akron attorney
observed the anxiety of the daughter for her
fathers welfare. and thought that such consider
ate kindness should not go unrewarded. Last
week the Ravenna lawyers daughter was made
the recipient of beautiful gold watch and chain,
through the generous kindness of the Akron at

= Peculiar Advertising Contract.
Waco Day.

MIR. Waldo swears that the roads paid A.
Fl. Belo s. Co. $4,000 a year for ''adver-
Using" and not for editorial influence. :"
That was. indeed, the letter of the con-
tract but advertising is paid for according
to time and space covered, and as the ads
were equal what chumps the Southern
Pacific and Texas Pacific were to pay nearly
ten times rs much as some of the other
roads! VIII Mr.. Waldo please take an OBJ
servation and see if he can discern any,
thing green in the Texas optic.-[San
Antonio Express.
Does the esteemed Expaess mean to say
that the advertisement carried by the two
Newses for the Texas and Pacific, which
paid 1920, was the same size as the one
carried for the Texas Central at sl2O, or
the St. Louis and San Francisco at s60'
The Day has OF file of the News, and
must CLEAN its information from
somebody who has. According to
Col loves state nent of the
price which the roads were to pay-s900
per inch-the Texas and Pacifid and
Southern Pacific were each entitled to
Newses every day in the year: the Texas
Central was entitled to two-fifths of an
inch and the ST. Louis and San Francisco
to one-ffth of an inch. The Houston
East and West Texas should have had four
fifths of an inch :; the Denver and the Aran-
sas Pass one and three-fifths inches each;
the Santa Fe, the Katy and the In
ternational four and four-fifths inches
each; the Cotton Belt, three and
four-ffths inches; the Houston and
Texas Central four and two-hfths inches
Can it be possible that each of these roads
got the same amount of advertisinga Mai.
Waldo stated that he had apportioned the
amount of the whole bill among the roads
according to their mileage in the state, but
surely the News did not charge for it on
mileage basis. II so. it is the most peculiar
advertising contract ever made.

In Touch With the People.
Texarkana Interstate News.

The people of Texas should stand squarely
by the Fort Worth GAZETTE, tie most hon
est and sincere of the metropolitan papers
of he state, and one which is III rapport
with the great heart of the masses. 1t is in
touch with the people and never hesitates
to denounce nor champion measure for
fear or favor. 1t is paper which CALAMITY
backs itself against all competition, and,
without accepting bonus Of $1,000 per
month from the railroads, is free to con-
denim or commend their action as loyalty to
popular interests may suggest. Texas is
TOO large, too populous and wealthy to per-
nit one paper like the CD. Newses to
monopolize the journalism of the state, nor
by excessive wealth and patronage to kill
off healthy competition. The action of the
traffic association in ignoring the entire
press of Texas and devoting its entire
Doodle OF $4,000 to the News shows the
danger of one overgrown and INSCRIPTIONS
journal which never notices East Texas
save to publish the Irregularities of our
criminal classes. Let our people determine
TO build up the Fort Worth GAZETTE by 4
more liberal subscription patronage, pre-
ferrin.g it to the News OF Dallas.
