Ask some men for an advertisement
or few locals and they will say they
don't believe in advertising-a paper is
never read. Let one of them be
caught kissing his neigbor's wife or
struggling along with Aug and if the
printing Office is in the garnet of
seventeen story building he will
climb to the top and beg the editor to
keep quiet-not to publish it in the
paper.
One of the kindest acts we have
heard of for some time was that of the
neighbors by Charles Vine, in Madison
township. Several days ago his barn
burned, and he suffered considerable
loss from its contents being destroyed.
His neighbors have raised among
themselves and friends in other parts
of the county about 1925 for Mr.. Vine,
which will come as Godsend to him
Just at the opening of winter.
The AtchiSOn Globe says that
Kansas corn fields are full of shelled
corn, the cobs not being long enough
to contain all the grains. The same
trouble was experienced in Nebraska,
says the JVortd-Herald, until a Dodge
county genius conceived the idea of
starting an artificial cob factory. The
artificial cobs were tied to the corn
stalks and were soon filed with plump
grains. The only trouble with the
scheme is that his factory has not been
able to supply the demand.
Any who have ever attempted
tearing out plaster petitions, can i'm
agine, in small decree at least, the
difficulties we have encountered in
getting out this paper, and will excuse
its scanty appearance. Since our last
issue we have taken down an old stair
way in the Office and replaced it with
new one, besides tearing out seven
plaster petitions in our composing and
job rooms, throwing them all into one
large room. 1t took our whole force
three or four days to clean up the loose
plaster, etc., and rearrange the office.
AS a consequence this paper is not up
to standard. However, we now have
one of the finest printing offices in this
part of Iowa, and will hereafter be pre-
pared to perform our work more
promptly and satisfactorily.
