A newspaper man could go seven
times day to different persons for
news and each time is told that there
is absolutely nothing going on in
town. When publication day comes
people will say, "Well, there is not
much news in the paper this week.
and then recall an item or two that
did not appear and then wonder WHY
it was omitted. When you know any
thing that has transpired tell the
printer every time. That is what he
is in town for.-Kenton Argus.

THE Spanish having cut the cable
between Hong Kong and Manila, there
has been great difficulty in getting
news from Commodore Dewey, though
the best INFORMATION is that he has cap
tured that city and is in possession. AT
1920 yesterday morning nothing direct
had been heard at Washington from
him. There is. however, no doubt of
his famous victory of Sunday when
with his six warships he nearly entire
" annihilated the Spanish fleet off the
Philippine Islands. The more one
studies the situation and knows the
fearful odds with which he contended,
the more is he astonished at the re-
suit. The harbor is filled with dyna-
mite mines. hostile batteries were on
land and on powerful vessels at
sea, yet Dewey brayed them and won ov-
err such odds victory almost unparal-
leled. What was done there can be
done at Havana. Let it be done at once
and the war will be practically over.
