If every man cared as little for
criticism as the average country
editor what happy world this
would be. If yon are looking for
some one to criticise-and don't
know exactly who-try the country
editor. He is used TO it; it doesn't
hurt him and, in fact, he rather
enjoys it t-and he keeps right on
saying pleasant things about you
booming your business and the
country in wolch you live, just the
same, whether you reward him
with compliment or criticism
