Ihe Sheldon Progress says: The pro-
gram for the meeting OF the. State Press
association at Bismarck on Feb. ;12 and
13 has been completed and promises an
array Of good things. Mr.. Plumley, who
is. an especially capable and experienced
man at the business end of a newspaper,
will give talk on the cost of producing
newspaper, handling the subject from
the country publishers standpoint.
Colonel Lounsberry on ''The Early
Newspapers of North Dakota couldn't
be other than interesting if he tried.
The colonel established the first news.
paper in North Dakota-the Bismarck
Tribune-and has been connected with
various publications in the state ever
since that time, making a speciality of
state history.
+ A rather novel feature will be the ad-
dress on advertising by Colonel Morton,
who is expected to give the boys some
pointers on seeing themselves as others
see them.
A lot of us poor slaves who are now
soliciting subscribers to bring in hay
and potatoes and such airy trifes on
account will be inspired to hopes of
better things by Miss Bosard's essay on
our brethren who have already achieved
greater glory. There's Joe Mitchell
Chapple, who ran county seat paper
at Grand Rapids until they sneaked the
county seat over to LaMoure in. the
night. He's editing magazine in Bos-
ton now. And Tracy, who published
the Langdon Republican and is now
writing stories for the magazines and
ringing in pen pictures Of Dan McMil-
Ian and Pat McHugh. Then there's
Boyce. He had one of the Lisbon pa
pers in early days and now has a whole
raft of pink and yellow sheets in Chi
cago, He's richer than if he'd stayed at
Lisbon and got to be insurance commits
sioner. But this is anticipating-Miss
Bosard will tell all about them at Bis
marck.
The last number on the program
should certainly be peach-if the
Progress is any judge of fruit. This is
where Wilson, and Wilder and all those
fellows will have chance to get in their
work. Wilson was invited to handle
topic. He didn't answer the letter, but
he's good fellow, and his paper is the
perfection of pink.
The moral of this story is that every
publisher in North Dakota should be at
Bismarck on Feb. II and 13. Their pa
pers can 60 to the devil for one week.
